  Did you see that Michael Bay was one of the producers?
• 0:04
  No. Yeah, I.
• 0:07
  I don't feel like it had too much of his stamp on it at.
• 0:10
  Least see, and I was going to say the very beginning felt very
• 0:16
  Michael Bay Transformers. Astral type, yeah.
• 0:20
  Plus you've got like this van charging down the road and
• 0:24
  you're you're watching from inside the car as they switch to
• 0:27
  reverse and they're driving like it's very small scale
• 0:32
  Transformers. But that is what Michael Bay
• 0:36
  does best is vehicular damage and whatnot.
• 0:39
  See, and that's like my favorite, a section of the
• 0:43
  movie. And it's unfortunate that that's
• 0:45
  the main and fun part. But now that I'm thinking of it,
• 0:49
  Oh yeah, that does feel very Michael Bay.
• 0:53
  Yeah, I I think of everything in the movie that probably felt the
• 0:58
  most like it. There are some other big set
• 1:01
  piece moments that maybe you could point to as some Michael
• 1:07
  Bay influence, but like the truly big sequence that I was
• 1:12
  like, Oh yeah, they probably even got him in the director's
• 1:16
  chair for a few days just to get this hammered out the right way.
• 1:22
  It was probably the day one sequences because that really
• 1:28
  did feel grand and big and huge. And I mean, yeah, like, I don't
• 1:34
  want to already talk about it before we get to it because
• 1:38
  that's I, I enjoy that part. OK, then I'll shut up.
• 1:45
  I'll stop talking. That's that's our tagline.
• 1:48
  Shut up. Yes.
• 1:50
  We'll let that creepy piano music play.
• 2:07
  Hello and welcome to Potato Chip Pictures, the movie franchise
• 2:13
  review Podcast. My name is B Sammy Davis.
• 2:18
  Hello, welcome back. I'm Justin.
• 2:21
  And we are still looking at A Quiet Place franchise with today
• 2:27
  marking Twenty 20s Part 2, written, directed and story by
• 2:36
  John Krasinski with a whopping budget of $61 million.
• 2:43
  That is like it's, it's not quite $50 million more it's it's
• 2:49
  like forty $44 million. I don't know.
• 2:54
  I can't do that math that fast in my head, but but that's a
• 2:57
  huge leap in budget. Last one returned 341, this one
• 3:03
  returned 297 and we are kind of done with the home video sales
• 3:10
  market making up. For.
• 3:13
  A bad box office. Well, I didn't read too much
• 3:18
  into it, but I saw bits of pieces saying like, you know, it
• 3:22
  was about to release in the beginning of COVID.
• 3:24
  I'm like, Oh yeah, that makes sense.
• 3:28
  It was likely bad timing on the parts of the of the producers,
• 3:33
  but there's no way to know that when you're planning a movie
• 3:36
  100%. And this being my very first
• 3:42
  time watching it, I got to tell you, I really liked it.
• 3:49
  I had a great time. I think I the only places that
• 3:54
  I'd seen some people like some people that I really hated on it
• 3:59
  for just ruining what the first one was.
• 4:02
  It's like, OK, so as much as I enjoyed day one and wanted to
• 4:09
  see day 1-2 like prequel 2 when they're on their farm, like I
• 4:16
  would be happy to watch that. You can't make the child actors
• 4:21
  younger and I think the the brother had like a growth spurt
• 4:27
  'cause he's he seems so much bigger.
• 4:30
  Plus they had to recast the baby brother.
• 4:33
  I'm pretty sure I don't 'cause I don't think that's the same 4
• 4:37
  year old. At all possibly.
• 4:40
  If it is the same actor, then somehow at day one he got older.
• 4:47
  You know, I think, I mean not to give any ratings.
• 4:50
  I, I don't think there's too much that I particularly loathe
• 4:56
  about any of the action. I think as we go through it,
• 5:00
  it'll be like, Oh yeah, this one doesn't make sense.
• 5:04
  But also having a baby in the apocalypse doesn't make sense.
• 5:07
  Anyway. Some assumptions we have to
• 5:10
  allow. Yeah.
• 5:12
  And I will say, for better or worse, this movie leans on some
• 5:20
  more established tropes in terms of a post apocalyptic world.
• 5:27
  And sometimes it works. Other times it kind of feels a
• 5:32
  little forced then. But honestly, the the thing that
• 5:37
  really stood out to me in terms of a positive is that they were
• 5:42
  continuing to build this world in such an interesting way.
• 5:46
  And telling more story as well as kind of carrying on with what
• 5:53
  happened previously. I don't know, I, it's not
• 5:59
  perfect and my score will reflect that.
• 6:02
  It is not perfect, but, but I am willing to say that I, I was
• 6:07
  surprised at how much fun I had. And frankly, I think this movie
• 6:12
  did a better job of being a little bit spookier than the
• 6:15
  last one. I I was feeling much more
• 6:19
  tension throughout this movie than I did the previous one.
• 6:24
  Yeah, I think the solo missions that the deaf sister goes on is
• 6:31
  like, you don't know how much noise you're making yourself.
• 6:37
  You are relying on look. Around.
• 6:40
  Make sure you can probably understand walking silently, but
• 6:44
  like, if you disturb something after you pass by it, there's
• 6:50
  like there's no feedback to tell you start running, start hiding
• 6:56
  by sheer luck you you're looking in the right direction.
• 6:59
  Like so. I mean, that does make the
• 7:01
  tension possible. But yeah.
• 7:09
  What do you like about the prequel?
• 7:14
  Yeah. I need to immediately say that
• 7:20
  it may have hurt the next movie to give us a pretty concise and
• 7:29
  straight to the point version of day one in this movie, because
• 7:35
  this was a really good day one. Yeah, I, you know, very little
• 7:42
  downtime to kind of establish that we are in an idyllic
• 7:47
  upstate New York farm town and then things start kicking off
• 7:52
  pretty quick. It's still only criticism would
• 7:57
  be the asteroid in the sky to 1st monster showing up felt way
• 8:05
  way quick unless there was a second strike somewhere.
• 8:09
  Yeah, like, did we miss a strike?
• 8:11
  Because it did seem like that asteroid was still, yeah, really
• 8:15
  far in the sky. Yeah.
• 8:19
  But I can forgive it by saying maybe we're looking at this from
• 8:25
  the kids perspective because when this finishes, we learn
• 8:29
  that this has been a flashback for the Sun where he has been
• 8:35
  thinking about that first day. And you know, you, you don't
• 8:40
  remember an event. You remember the last time you
• 8:44
  remembered an event. And so you embellish on it and
• 8:47
  you change the timelines and, and now I'm justifying the movie
• 8:51
  for it without it justifying it. Yeah, but how can he flashback
• 8:59
  something he doesn't remember well?
• 9:01
  He was there. He was there.
• 9:03
  Like we watched him for the whole thing.
• 9:05
  But oh, I get what you're saying with his sister and.
• 9:07
  His yeah, yeah. I I was like, he was there.
• 9:10
  He was there at day one. He was playing baseball.
• 9:13
  Yes, there's a couple of separated bits where there I I
• 9:19
  felt like the hiding all together at the first bit when
• 9:24
  they're in some sort of store, couldn't tell what it was like a
• 9:29
  bar maybe? I think a bar.
• 9:31
  Someone's phone goes off and lures it in.
• 9:33
  It's like, I'll allow that one trope of, Oh no, we're supposed
• 9:38
  to be quiet. It's like, 'cause that's the
• 9:39
  point of the movie. They're looking for noise.
• 9:42
  And we don't know that yet and. If they don't.
• 9:45
  Have any criticism? It would be that I got this
• 9:48
  sense that Lee knew that it was noise, like immediately.
• 9:55
  So he's looking around at people.
• 9:57
  He even silences the guy who's praying and, you know, maybe
• 10:02
  he's just thinking Sound is one of their senses.
• 10:06
  He doesn't know yet that. They don't know anyone's in
• 10:08
  here. But it it does establish the
• 10:14
  rules very quickly and I think it's only like 1520 minutes of
• 10:19
  the movie. It's so fast and it's so tight
• 10:22
  and it's so tense. And I enjoyed it so much more
• 10:27
  than the rest of the movie. It was a very strong opening
• 10:32
  followed by a very weak rest of the first act.
• 10:37
  But I'm gonna be honest with you, the movie won me back over
• 10:40
  by the 2nd and 3rd acts. I didn't like the very end, and
• 10:44
  we'll get to that when we get to that, but I I almost feel like
• 10:51
  the first act colors the rest of the movie in an unfair light
• 10:57
  because like, we get such a strong opener, such a weak
• 11:01
  establishment of the story, and then it really picks up for the
• 11:05
  rest of it. Yeah, they get something.
• 11:09
  I think that the conflict that carries over from the first one
• 11:15
  is we have to leave our home and we are carrying a baby that
• 11:22
  can't keep quiet. Like they're, we don't know what
• 11:28
  the plan is because I don't think there's a way to know.
• 11:31
  Like they're heading towards one of the fires.
• 11:34
  I I don't know that we gather if they knew because when they
• 11:38
  encounter the the guy at the like abandoned rail yard, they
• 11:44
  don't immediately suggest that they know him.
• 11:48
  They don't know who each of the fires are.
• 11:51
  OK, the fires are just there to establish who is.
• 11:55
  Someone's there. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:58
  Doesn't mean friendly, doesn't even mean we know who's there.
• 12:03
  We just know someone is tending to that fire before.
• 12:09
  Before they leave, though, they make their travel weapon.
• 12:14
  And I distinctly remember watching Oh crap, I've I've
• 12:19
  forgotten her name. The deaf girl.
• 12:22
  So let's see, let's make sure we get our.
• 12:24
  Name Reagan. Reagan.
• 12:26
  Is the name is the mom and Marcus.
• 12:31
  Marcus is the brother. Brother that didn't die.
• 12:34
  OK, we haven't met him yet. The.
• 12:37
  Baby's name. I don't know if the baby's been
• 12:40
  given a name yet. Right now it's just the baby.
• 12:43
  Yeah, that's. All I see.
• 12:46
  But Reagan grabs a speaker and she clips the wire off the back
• 12:52
  and and I'm sitting here like, oh, that's really strange.
• 12:54
  I wonder how she's going to make power for this.
• 12:59
  And we just never get to see that it just magically carries
• 13:03
  power with it. Now it's.
• 13:04
  Like headphones, you know, you can plug them in and that's how
• 13:08
  they receive a signal. They're they're they powered
• 13:11
  that way. Don't think about it.
• 13:13
  Yeah, All you need to know is that the power cord made power
• 13:16
  worse. We we got rid of that power.
• 13:20
  Good. Now.
• 13:20
  Like it's portable. About it, yeah.
• 13:24
  Yeah, I guess that would be demerit.
• 13:27
  Yes, that was that was a bit dumb, but whatever.
• 13:30
  They've got a travel weapon. They're deciding to abandon
• 13:33
  their safe farm because they burned and flooded there.
• 13:39
  That's really unfortunate. I mean, yes, that means that
• 13:43
  they do have to go looking for some somewhere else.
• 13:46
  But it is like, oh, he puts so much work into this bind.
• 13:50
  There was so many canned goods. There was.
• 13:52
  And one night, one night and it's all bad.
• 13:57
  Ruined. Well, this is like when you're
• 14:00
  playing Minecraft and you finally get your shelter set up
• 14:04
  and then you hear a hissing noise and you turn around and
• 14:08
  somehow a creeper has spawned and all of it's gone.
• 14:14
  Torches. You got to put them everywhere.
• 14:17
  Yep, exactly. And so that's that's the feeling
• 14:20
  I think they got when they're when they're barn simultaneously
• 14:24
  burned and flooded, just tremendous bad luck.
• 14:28
  So they have to leave and they go to the only place they think
• 14:32
  to go, which is the last light of civilization.
• 14:36
  And I need to say this, I'm going to say this.
• 14:41
  Anytime we watch movies that have booby traps, and obviously
• 14:48
  this movie gets a pass because the world has ended.
• 14:52
  So who's there to say no, booby traps are federally illegal.
• 14:59
  This is not a state issue. This is not a well I can do it
• 15:03
  on my property issue. If you are in the United States
• 15:07
  of America or any of its territories, it is illegal in
• 15:12
  100% of that country for you to have booby traps.
• 15:19
  And this guy you have booby. Traps.
• 15:22
  That's, that's what I'm going with is that this guy has booby
• 15:25
  traps. He has set up booby traps and I
• 15:30
  guess he's using the environment as the primary booby trap, but
• 15:35
  he's also got a bear trap. A freaking bear trap.
• 15:38
  Yeah, I'm like, I halfway really dislike the screaming, but I'm
• 15:46
  also like, you know, it would probably be so painful and so
• 15:52
  bad to get caught in the bear trap.
• 15:55
  So while I'm like kids, stop screaming like.
• 15:59
  And this is their weakest child. Yeah, you know, the one who
• 16:04
  freaks out over everything. And screams and you shouldn't
• 16:09
  scream but the bear trap that's you're like bear trap kind of
• 16:12
  earns that because it's like well yeah that would really
• 16:15
  suck. But also like can you can you
• 16:20
  manage to not because of like monsters that will come get you
• 16:24
  have the. Situational awareness to know
• 16:27
  that like a broken leg is preferable to total death.
• 16:32
  Like. Grab your shirt, bunch it all
• 16:36
  up, shove it in your mouth and do your best not to make a sound
• 16:41
  like but you know he is the the weak link of the family and the
• 16:46
  family's going to do everything they can to keep even him alive.
• 16:50
  But. The baby's even smaller.
• 16:53
  Come on. I know the baby is physically
• 16:55
  weak and and a literal burden, but it's a light burden and they
• 17:02
  have it managed. Whereas this kid, like he's
• 17:05
  lived a year and a half of the apocalypse and he's never gotten
• 17:10
  it together. It's it's still his day one.
• 17:16
  Yeah, I see. And oh, what is?
• 17:21
  Yeah, there's a Really, I would say good episode of Band of
• 17:25
  Brothers where one of the soldiers is just can't handle
• 17:30
  the danger of being out there until he finally clicks in.
• 17:34
  Like, you know, you're only really surviving until you die.
• 17:39
  And if you accept that you're already dead, then hey, you can
• 17:43
  you can make it through most things.
• 17:45
  I don't know why that immediately came to mind 'cause.
• 17:48
  I think about that more frequently than you can imagine.
• 17:52
  I'm so glad you brought it up because I, I've, I've said it to
• 17:57
  people. I've, I've said like when you
• 18:00
  know, someone has told me that they're thinking of joining the
• 18:02
  military, I'm like, hey, if you follow through with this,
• 18:07
  remember on the day that you signed the paperwork, That's the
• 18:10
  day you died. And every day you get after that
• 18:14
  is bonus. Just keep that in your head.
• 18:18
  You have signed your own death certificate.
• 18:21
  I can imagine in the apocalypse if you haven't, if you haven't
• 18:25
  accepted the fact that you are living on borrowed time, like
• 18:30
  you could react that way. This guy is even on day 474.
• 18:35
  I think that's the number I can't read.
• 18:38
  What number? Wrong.
• 18:38
  Yeah, it's it's the day after the last movie ended.
• 18:45
  And the 01 more thing I will point out from act one when they
• 18:51
  were leaving the house, they never dealt with all of the
• 18:53
  other creatures coming in. So.
• 18:58
  Yep, zero other creatures showed up.
• 19:00
  Yep, we're we're done with that particular thing.
• 19:03
  Just forget about that guys. Like it doesn't matter.
• 19:07
  Yeah, I think that's that's fair A minus.
• 19:12
  Yeah, we finally, finally, after, you know, we get to
• 19:18
  demonstrate our mobile sound weapon and we get to kill one of
• 19:23
  the creatures. We finally get to meet the
• 19:27
  apocalyptic version of their neighbor who we did meet in day
• 19:32
  one. And I loved the note that I saw
• 19:36
  from you when you, oh, you saw Cillian.
• 19:40
  Is it Cillian or Killian? Murphy, I say.
• 19:42
  Killian Murphy is how you pronounce it.
• 19:44
  But I. OK, that sounds more correct.
• 19:47
  It's just spelled with AC. And so I'm always like Cillian
• 19:52
  Killian Murphy, who is a phenomenal villain in most
• 19:57
  movies. It's like, is he gonna be a
• 20:00
  villain like I? I think we get to come in it
• 20:04
  from a he. Would resemble Lee if Lee had
• 20:11
  lost everybody of his family, but he's not a monster.
• 20:16
  Yeah, he is jaded and hardened, but he still has a soul.
• 20:23
  Yeah. And that is a good analogy.
• 20:26
  What if Lee had lost everything? He would be like Killian
• 20:32
  Murphy's character, who I don't even remember the name of.
• 20:38
  Jeff, I feel like it starts with AJ, but damn it, damn.
• 20:43
  It it's such a such a country name, damn it.
• 20:52
  So I mean, I, I, I believe him when he says there's no food,
• 20:55
  even if there is food, because it's like, well, I just kept
• 21:02
  some people alive until 11 weeks ago.
• 21:04
  And now this entire new with the new babies here, I, I can't
• 21:11
  bring myself to save them and lose them to like get out of
• 21:16
  here. OK, I need to know, did you have
• 21:19
  any immediate assumptions about how Emmett had been surviving in
• 21:26
  the apocalypse 'cause I did. Go for it.
• 21:32
  I I assumed since the IT doesn't seem like it's as fixed up as a
• 21:39
  place as the barn just was surviving on what was going on.
• 21:46
  I mean, he had a pretty sweet spot for a quick escape and, you
• 21:52
  know, a quiet bunker. My only well, like you, when he
• 21:59
  showed up in the apocalypse, I was like, OK, he has done some
• 22:04
  dark deeds to survive that was. And so I don't know if I
• 22:10
  necessarily thought he would be a villain, but I at least
• 22:13
  thought that we were supposed to feel a little uneasy about him.
• 22:18
  And so I was like, I think he eats people.
• 22:21
  I think he's a cannibal. I think he is surprised to see
• 22:25
  people that he knew and loved just a year and a half ago when
• 22:31
  he has already eaten strangers. And then I was completely wrong.
• 22:37
  Like, there was, there's nothing like that in the movie.
• 22:41
  That's just where my head went. Yeah, maybe it's from like, you
• 22:44
  know, his other horror film 20, 28 Days.
• 22:50
  Maybe that's the feeling. But it yeah, I can see him being
• 22:56
  because he's been alone now, eating regular and hiding in his
• 23:04
  bunker, just not making any noises.
• 23:10
  It's, it's really quite interesting, but he, you already
• 23:18
  said it. He demands that they leave
• 23:20
  immediately. And so naturally, they start
• 23:24
  making themselves comfortable. Yeah, you'd leave tomorrow, I
• 23:29
  think. Well.
• 23:30
  We're not thanks. Thanks for the suggestion.
• 23:35
  That was that was what stood out to me was the fact that he was
• 23:39
  so firm on them leaving and then the very next day they're they
• 23:47
  are decidedly not leaving. They are getting comfy.
• 23:53
  I feel like I'm a little fuzzy because maybe the second act is
• 23:59
  just a little bit like, what else is that?
• 24:02
  Is that everybody? Kind of?
• 24:05
  Split up act. At least that's when Reagan and
• 24:11
  Emmett split up, because Evelyn won't leave until the third act.
• 24:19
  That's when all of our tension comes to a head.
• 24:22
  But at at least in the second act, Reagan puzzles out that the
• 24:30
  radio is working, because that's a hint.
• 24:33
  It's playing this one song on loop as a clue, and so she
• 24:39
  decides she's the only one who can save the day.
• 24:42
  You know she is uniquely suited to survive this world.
• 24:48
  But on her own, no, like that's I'm like she's she's deaf, but
• 24:57
  she's not like silent. Like, that's the thing that
• 25:01
  would be a superpower in this world is if you actually emitted
• 25:04
  no noise. Yeah, like, even if you tried,
• 25:08
  that's not her. She cannot hear any noises.
• 25:12
  Yeah, like when we come back to her on her solo mission, she
• 25:17
  almost gets eat up add up immediately.
• 25:20
  She's so bad at it. Yeah, I mean very tense because
• 25:26
  she's deaf, but you can see around her.
• 25:30
  I don't quite know what her her reason for going into the cart
• 25:35
  was. She finds a first aid kit and
• 25:37
  gets jump scared but. Yeah, I don't know why she.
• 25:40
  Injured. I don't.
• 25:41
  Know why she needed? A.
• 25:43
  First aid kit it was it was a diversion, it was.
• 25:49
  She allowed herself to get distracted and then she made a
• 25:54
  lot of needless noise. I was kind of surprised that
• 25:58
  birds still existed. I.
• 26:00
  Feel like, yeah, anything that would make noise.
• 26:03
  In the first movie, we see a raccoon get smashed up because
• 26:07
  these creatures are they can hear everything and they're
• 26:10
  actually good at sneaking around.
• 26:11
  Yeah, they're they're always on the move looking for sound, but
• 26:17
  yeah, Emmett is. Evelyn makes the guilt lecture
• 26:25
  against Emmett and he decides to go and help Reagan out.
• 26:31
  Where, you know, we're supposed to know that he really does not
• 26:36
  want to be the hero. I'm still sitting here thinking
• 26:40
  he's got a dark past and it's kind of funny that he's being
• 26:43
  forced to be the good guy. But I'm going to learn within
• 26:48
  the next few scenes that he doesn't have a dark past.
• 26:51
  He's got a heart of gold. He's just hardened and doesn't
• 26:55
  want anyone around. Drawing pictures of his boy like
• 27:01
  oh that. And they try to make that creepy
• 27:04
  and I'm like, I don't think it's creepy like.
• 27:07
  I apocalypse if your boy has died and you miss them.
• 27:13
  Like I'm sure after 1000 scribbles you will have
• 27:18
  something that resembles your kid.
• 27:20
  Oh yeah, You just get better and better at doing it.
• 27:24
  And it's the apocalypse. What else are you going to do?
• 27:27
  At least he's not eating people. That's what I thought he was
• 27:30
  doing. That's.
• 27:33
  Good. Oh yeah.
• 27:35
  So her solo mission brave. I don't necessarily like, yes,
• 27:42
  you have the high frequency thing that can help.
• 27:46
  I don't know that she makes up the plan immediately, like the
• 27:51
  third act plan, because I feel like she was just going out
• 27:55
  there because that's where something is like, yeah.
• 27:59
  No, she, she made that plan up. She told it to her, to Marcus to
• 28:04
  she was like broadcast. I just have to travel South, get
• 28:08
  a boat, go to this island, and then since they are transmitting
• 28:14
  on the radio, I just have to give them my hearing aid and we
• 28:19
  can save the world. So that's what she says before
• 28:24
  she leaves. Like she has a plan and it's a,
• 28:27
  it's a pretty solid plan, minus the fact that she can't hear.
• 28:32
  So she's terrible for a solo mission.
• 28:36
  She's brilliant. She's a great strategist.
• 28:39
  Yeah. Shouldn't be on the field.
• 28:42
  Yeah, it's just not while they were, I think, hiding in the
• 28:49
  little booth, right, the train, wherever they were.
• 28:53
  I started thinking, how would it be?
• 28:55
  How would you start being efficient with everyone in a
• 28:58
  group with these things that can sneak up on you?
• 29:01
  Essentially, you like start walking backwards.
• 29:05
  One person looking behind you, one person looking forward.
• 29:08
  Like, and then you got to contend with the baby box.
• 29:12
  Like, yeah, I, you know, when image shows up, I, I really do
• 29:20
  get pretty connected because now I'm like, all right, this is a
• 29:25
  capable party. You've got the brains and the
• 29:27
  brown. Like now we can have a quest.
• 29:32
  Until the third act when get duped by a child like we can
• 29:39
  briefly meet on what the rest of the family is doing back.
• 29:43
  Yeah, I was going to say there's there really is a lot going on
• 29:48
  with Evelyn, Marcus and the baby.
• 29:50
  They all have their stuff happening.
• 29:52
  And I, I feel bad glossing over it because eventually Evelyn has
• 29:59
  to leave and Marcus is going to have a panic attack over this
• 30:03
  and then eventually he's going to leave because he's an idiot.
• 30:08
  And that starts all the problems at at Emmett's home base in the
• 30:15
  rail yards. Like I I feel bad glossing over
• 30:19
  it because it's not an insubstantial part of the movie,
• 30:21
  but that's really all I remember from it.
• 30:24
  Well, so I think it's a, it kind of tries to carry the same
• 30:29
  family drama as the first one where we have the stakes of
• 30:34
  Evelyn's mission. I think I, yeah, like I'm like,
• 30:38
  she does have to go get oxygen and she does have to go get some
• 30:42
  sort of antibiotic or, I don't know, something tetanus shot
• 30:46
  for, for the leg. So she has to go do that.
• 30:51
  Otherwise like it, it'll be worse later.
• 30:55
  So let's do the worst stuff now and try and survive that, but I
• 31:03
  don't know why Marcus. Leaves.
• 31:08
  It's oh, it's so infuriating. And then he scares himself by
• 31:16
  snooping around in the living space.
• 31:20
  And I'm sitting here thinking, I can kind of see an IV through
• 31:27
  all these curtains like I'm. And so I'm prepared for what's
• 31:32
  on the other side. And if I can see medical
• 31:35
  supplies through the shadows, surely Marcus can see them.
• 31:39
  He's right there, but our little panicky boy opens the curtains
• 31:45
  to see the mummified corpse. Just the worst person to open
• 31:48
  the curtains. Yeah, and then he just starts
• 31:51
  having a Goonies freak out where I forget the character's name
• 31:55
  with the red headed girl and Goonies, which is would panic
• 32:00
  over everything in that movie. That's Marcus to me.
• 32:04
  He just panics all the time, and this time his panic makes noise.
• 32:09
  So he has to get back, lock himself in the place.
• 32:13
  Like the airtight compartment is pretty nice if you can not be
• 32:18
  heard through it but. And if you're smart enough to
• 32:21
  put the towel there instead of what he did.
• 32:25
  I still don't quite see how that towel functionally works, but
• 32:30
  I'll it stops. The noise and stops the lock.
• 32:35
  But does it? Like how would you unlock it?
• 32:38
  So from what I can tell, it's only locking at like a corner of
• 32:44
  the lip and so you don't need as much force to lift it up to
• 32:49
  unlock it. Whereas if you don't have it
• 32:53
  there, not only is it making the metal on metal clang, but now
• 32:56
  it's going firmly and fully in position and you've got this
• 33:01
  preteen trying to lift it all the way up.
• 33:05
  So I think the noise factor is the reason why the towel is
• 33:09
  there, but I think the happy accident is that it makes it
• 33:13
  functional for Marcus if the towel is there.
• 33:17
  And then the big dummy, because he panics and that's all he's
• 33:22
  good for, is panicking. He didn't put the towel there.
• 33:27
  I think it is a little unfortunate that that's there's
• 33:30
  a reduction of his character. I'm like.
• 33:34
  Just maybe in part three, he will finally grow up and, yeah,
• 33:38
  be good at it. We don't know.
• 33:39
  It's technically this is an active franchise and so.
• 33:44
  Technically. Marcus will be worth it one day.
• 33:47
  Technically they could have Marcus through the narration and
• 33:51
  then he comes back for the final movie.
• 33:54
  He'll tell us he no longer fears death.
• 33:58
  I mean, that's. The future, that's the future.
• 34:01
  We're we're giving away the goose, right?
• 34:03
  There's gonna be people who know.
• 34:06
  You can always revive A franchise I guess.
• 34:08
  That's true, but we're you know, we're not that far out.
• 34:11
  We're only five years off of this movie and like one year off
• 34:16
  of the the day one movie that came out.
• 34:20
  So like I say, it is an active franchise.
• 34:24
  Part 3 is planned. It might even be a teaser
• 34:27
  trailer. What?
• 34:29
  Yeah, you're joking. No, this this is a for reals
• 34:34
  planned out thing. There's if you go to the wiki,
• 34:38
  it says that there is a part four that is in production and
• 34:42
  that they are intending to release.
• 34:45
  So that is, you know, this is one of those things we may have
• 34:48
  to come back to in the. Future 27, OK.
• 34:52
  Yeah. Well.
• 34:53
  But the point that I'm making is, I hate to be reductive about
• 34:58
  it, but the rail station stuff is kind of the most boring to
• 35:04
  me. Yeah, I mean, they try to.
• 35:10
  What would you do meeting someone that was a family friend
• 35:13
  and then apocalypse, apocalypse that.
• 35:17
  So I I think it follows the plot, but yeah, it's not
• 35:22
  exciting. And by the end of this we're I'm
• 35:28
  trying to think of a head. Is Emmett a part of all of them?
• 35:37
  He's OK, so. Oh.
• 35:38
  'Cause we end like at the middle of nothing.
• 35:41
  Well, what I was going to say is we, I thought you would, you
• 35:48
  were going to love the ending because the ending was happening
• 35:51
  in conjunction. We had.
• 35:53
  Yes, but like. Scenes happening together and
• 35:56
  the the. Combined total of have Where's
• 36:01
  Emmett in comparison to the family he's rescued?
• 36:04
  And is Emmett like close with shoot her name Reagan.
• 36:14
  Reagan. Yeah.
• 36:16
  Because then this scene where they chat about family and stuff
• 36:20
  and just try and get on the same page kind of kicks off their
• 36:26
  arc, OK. So we're back at the rail
• 36:28
  station, right? And we're going to, we're going
• 36:30
  to actually do Emmett and Reagan's far more interesting
• 36:35
  story. Yeah, 'cause if we, if we put a
• 36:39
  pin in Evelyn is getting oxygen and medication, things go South
• 36:46
  and they make noise and they have to defeat a monster on
• 36:52
  their own. It's all right, It's OK.
• 36:57
  It's fine. It's it doesn't detract from
• 37:00
  from the movie, it's just that the other story that's happening
• 37:07
  was far more interesting to me. It was a much better story.
• 37:11
  If the if the major conflict of the movie is just surviving,
• 37:16
  then Evelyn and Marcus and the baby are important.
• 37:21
  But if it's we want to save the world, that's that's Reagan and
• 37:26
  Emmett on their quest. And oh, man, so I really enjoy
• 37:33
  the conversation at night with Reagan and Emmett where I'm
• 37:38
  still doubting Emmett. Like, I don't think he's a good
• 37:41
  guy. And then they have this
• 37:44
  conversation where he's like, look, I'm not a good guy.
• 37:47
  And I'm like, I know, I know you're not a good guy.
• 37:50
  But Reagan seems to be like, yeah, you don't have to be a
• 37:54
  good guy. You just have to be, you know,
• 37:56
  someone who I can count on. And then the next morning, she's
• 38:00
  missing her, her weapon, her sound weapon, she's missing all
• 38:04
  of her equipment. And I'm like, oh wow, we all
• 38:08
  knew it. And it's a bad guy, you know?
• 38:12
  I thought he was just somewhere I was.
• 38:15
  It is puzzling because yes, I wasn't set on him being a
• 38:18
  cannibal. Yeah, just missing.
• 38:22
  I, I don't know if I was fully set on him being a cannibal at
• 38:26
  this point, but I was still fully set on Killian Murphy
• 38:30
  being the villain of the movie. So when he came striding back
• 38:36
  and presented the sound weapon and proved me wrong, I'm a
• 38:43
  sucker for these moments. He charged it and now it's ready
• 38:48
  to go again. Yeah, that or he went scouting
• 38:51
  ahead and he was like, I'll be back in a little bit.
• 38:54
  I just Oh yeah, sure. There's nothing found.
• 38:57
  Found a boat at a dock. Yeah, that's right, he said He
• 39:00
  found a boat. Is the weakest part, even with
• 39:04
  the panicking Childs. Oh man, I love the boat.
• 39:10
  I don't love the the main bad guy that doesn't talk.
• 39:15
  I will admit this is the tropiest part of this movie, but
• 39:20
  I think they made it work. I think they made it true.
• 39:24
  The obstacle wasn't he gets like a noose that you can't undo put
• 39:35
  around him. Like if it's a Slipknot it's a
• 39:38
  unslipknot. Like yeah, you should get that
• 39:42
  off in 2 seconds. But maybe it is, and I agree if
• 39:47
  it is, he should just be able to go in the reverse direction.
• 39:50
  Like there's no way to tighten a knot where you can't untighten
• 39:54
  it the same way. Yeah, I'm like, that's why I'm
• 39:57
  like, unless it's a fancy knot, how I don't even know what that
• 40:00
  would look like. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense
• 40:04
  to me, but whatever. For the movie.
• 40:06
  For the movie. Yeah, he gets caught.
• 40:09
  That I guess I'm just a sucker for good old jump scares and the
• 40:18
  freaky little girl looking up and then wrapping the dude's
• 40:22
  neck. Like, I knew it was a trap.
• 40:24
  I knew all of those Nets were a trap.
• 40:27
  I was like, don't walk on top of those.
• 40:29
  That's a bad idea. Yeah, but it, you know, I still
• 40:34
  had a lot of fun with the tension of it all based on
• 40:40
  modern day scenarios. Creepy pedophiles are one of
• 40:46
  those things that I'm a little more sensitive to these days.
• 40:51
  Yeah, I was like, are these the cannibals?
• 40:56
  I guess you want to go that way. Yeah, I I don't know how they
• 41:00
  have survived as a society, but their alpha.
• 41:04
  Certainly wants to. Sleep with a teenager like he's
• 41:09
  oof Gross. Yeah.
• 41:13
  But you know, Gillian Murphy is a hero like 3 times in two
• 41:19
  seconds. It's quite fun and fast when it
• 41:23
  turns around. I can I could say this boat
• 41:26
  sequence might be a contender for another Michael Bay
• 41:33
  sequence. Just lots of wide shots with big
• 41:38
  action moments. But not so much that it's
• 41:42
  distracting, just some light wire work here and there.
• 41:47
  Yeah, tossing the people here and there into the water.
• 41:53
  I do like that she kind of rescues him.
• 41:56
  And we we learn something that isn't said, like until they get
• 42:02
  to the island, we see the monster drowned, he sees it and
• 42:07
  it's like, oh, they can't swim. That seems like important
• 42:11
  information. And it seems counter to what we
• 42:15
  literally saw them doing in the first movie in the flooded
• 42:18
  basement when it went underwater and swam.
• 42:21
  It wasn't that deep, it was swimming.
• 42:27
  It's first move was a swim move. But I guess maybe if it can't
• 42:34
  touch the bottom then it panics and it.
• 42:39
  Or maybe they're just at the bottom of the lake.
• 42:42
  We don't know that. They breathe, they roar.
• 42:44
  Yeah. So yeah, they could be that
• 42:47
  there's just a bunch of them confused at the bottom of the
• 42:51
  ocean trying to figure out how to get to land.
• 42:54
  Hear so many sounds down there. Yeah, all the creepy things.
• 42:59
  Oh, it's it's a auditory hellscape.
• 43:03
  Underwater it is. I imagine for them it would be
• 43:07
  even worse, but I don't like listening to underwater sounds
• 43:12
  because it always kind of creeps me out.
• 43:17
  Yeah. But yeah, I'm I'm fine with the
• 43:21
  boat sequence. It's not the best thing in the
• 43:23
  world, but the dock sequence rather the.
• 43:25
  Docks. I think it's a good amount of
• 43:29
  tension. I think it reminds us that we're
• 43:32
  in the post apocalyptic world. It is trophy that we've got this
• 43:37
  Society of savages. And the Ducks.
• 43:43
  Yeah, just hoarding resources. Do they fish?
• 43:48
  What do they do? I don't know but they've
• 43:51
  survived this long with their creepy wart ridden faces and you
• 44:00
  know. Then we cross the water and I
• 44:04
  will admit, every time I saw this idyllic location on posters
• 44:09
  and trailers I thought we were going to a doomsday cult.
• 44:14
  I was genuinely surprised to see normal people.
• 44:18
  I made it off of the island and I made it off the mainland to
• 44:22
  the island. I did seem like just your
• 44:27
  average place, and I'm sure a year and a half after that it
• 44:33
  would be easier to just not take too many precautions.
• 44:37
  I think a maybe it wouldn't take 28 years, but 28 years later,
• 44:45
  they have so many precautions and they living on an island and
• 44:49
  it's like, yeah, why would you forget that?
• 44:51
  There's monsters on the world now.
• 44:53
  Did you say 28 years later or months?
• 44:56
  The the movie 28 years later. Oh, I thought you were talking
• 45:00
  about this. No, in that one they've got the
• 45:04
  zombies still ended. That's right, I haven't watched
• 45:08
  any of the 28. Panels.
• 45:10
  Of time, yeah. If we added that to our
• 45:14
  franchise list, that would be my blind viewing Nice.
• 45:18
  And I would be excited to do it. Oh yeah.
• 45:21
  Don't threaten me with a good time.
• 45:24
  Maybe next Halloween era. Indeed, my one beef with the
• 45:29
  island is why didn't Emmett tell them that there was one of them
• 45:36
  marooned on a drifting boat? Like, you don't have to say it's
• 45:41
  coming this way because there's no way to know which way it's
• 45:44
  coming. But.
• 45:44
  You could at least. Say hey we know they can't swim
• 45:50
  but boats float and we saw one drifting away on a boat.
• 45:55
  Just always know they could show up at any time.
• 45:59
  Like you should be aware they can ride floating objects.
• 46:05
  Yeah, basically be like, you know, when hurricanes take
• 46:10
  animals up in them and deposit them elsewhere, Like, yeah, if
• 46:13
  there was a big enough one, we could pull it and bring it out
• 46:17
  here. Yep, you're not safe on the
• 46:20
  island just because they can't swim.
• 46:23
  There are other means of getting there, as they are going to
• 46:29
  learn eventually. But we meet like one of the
• 46:32
  movie's favorite characters because he was in all the
• 46:36
  advertising, despite the fact that I think it's I, I don't
• 46:42
  know how to pronounce his name. Jamone Giant.
• 46:49
  Oh my God, Jaemon. This is the problem with with me
• 46:55
  never listening to interviews and never paying attention to
• 46:58
  celebrities. Like when there's a a really
• 47:00
  good actor and they've got a name I've never seen before, I
• 47:04
  don't know what to do with it and I pay.
• 47:06
  Jaemon Hansu is what Google says.
• 47:11
  OK, Jai Jai MUHN mun. Jai mun.
• 47:17
  Gyman that sounds right. And then Hanzu, I'm fine with
• 47:20
  that if that's what we want to stick with.
• 47:23
  You see him in a lot of the posters, you see him in a lot of
• 47:27
  the trailers and he will return in the next movie.
• 47:31
  What? Yep, he was in the trailers and
• 47:35
  posters of the next movie. As well day one I thought you
• 47:39
  meant like the Part 3 that was coming out and like.
• 47:42
  No, Part 3 hasn't happened yet. There, Unfortunately, this guy
• 47:46
  gets handled by one of the monsters and it's.
• 47:48
  Yeah, he. Doesn't.
• 47:50
  Make it for too long. It's really crazy how much I
• 47:55
  remember seeing his face all over the marketing for this
• 47:59
  movie and he's in it for maybe 5 minutes like he's barely in this
• 48:03
  movie. He's like the only one that
• 48:07
  talks to them from the island. Yeah, that is a good point.
• 48:11
  He is their only speaker. Everybody else, even the child
• 48:16
  that Reagan is talking to, nobody else speaks, and
• 48:23
  presumably everybody else on the island is safe because they are
• 48:28
  able to successfully lure the one and only creature over
• 48:35
  there. I think people call these
• 48:37
  creatures angels or something and I don't know where they get
• 48:42
  that name. See, I think that sounds like
• 48:46
  the bird box crazies cause like there's there's bird box bad
• 48:52
  guys that try to force you to look at the thing and I think
• 48:56
  they call them angels. And yeah, that makes more sense
• 49:01
  because those creatures seem to be creatures like more
• 49:08
  supernatural in nature. Death Angels is what people call
• 49:14
  them. In this one.
• 49:17
  Just on the Internet, I don't think I've ever heard of them
• 49:22
  referred to as death angels in the movies.
• 49:26
  Maybe it's in the writing or whatever.
• 49:28
  Maybe a extended interview with the writer?
• 49:32
  Yeah, it could be the special effects.
• 49:34
  People were like, we call this the Death Angel, and that's
• 49:38
  stuck because in the movie they don't have a name, which is a
• 49:42
  very interesting concept to me. And I think the characters refer
• 49:46
  to them as them or they are coming like they will hear you.
• 49:54
  Yeah. So the characters don't need to
• 49:56
  refer to them as anything more than that.
• 49:58
  That's that's enough for them. But it's.
• 50:00
  It's everything bad that's out there, the only thing that's not
• 50:04
  us. So we finally get to our
• 50:09
  exciting conclusion that's happening in conjunction.
• 50:13
  We've got a creature attacking Marcus, Evelyn and the baby.
• 50:18
  We've got a creature attacking the radio station with Emmett
• 50:23
  and Reagan. The man on the island goes out
• 50:28
  like a chump right at the entrance of the radio station.
• 50:32
  And I get it, he's concerned about his kids and everybody
• 50:35
  else in the island. But like, it's so like it's just
• 50:42
  such a jump way to go out. Yeah, it feels like jump scary,
• 50:48
  I guess we've only talked to him for 5 minutes, but he he was the
• 50:53
  leader of this little town and he drew the creature away from
• 50:56
  those guys and he was concerned about them.
• 50:59
  Yeah, jump scaring him off isn't, Yeah, it's not quite
• 51:03
  earned to do that to him, but otherwise he could help in the
• 51:08
  next scene, yeah. Exactly.
• 51:10
  He would be too useful. And we need to, we need to up
• 51:14
  the tension even more. I don't know why the creature
• 51:18
  goes through the wall at the radio station instead of
• 51:21
  following them through the garage through those doors.
• 51:24
  Yeah, just need the jump scares and I'm still OK with it.
• 51:30
  It's just like it's starting to kind of lose some of its impact
• 51:37
  at this point where it's a lot of cutting to even more action.
• 51:42
  Like now the creature is getting the the bunker door open and now
• 51:48
  the creature hears them in the radio station and and now the
• 51:52
  creature's punctured Evelyn's leg and now the creature is
• 51:57
  getting inside the radio station.
• 51:59
  Like it's just we keep cutting back and forth and then oh boy
• 52:05
  oh boy do I hate the final kills at the end.
• 52:10
  Yeah, she the the look of it is that she hits it like blunt end
• 52:20
  of this rod that she has, but the sound and the result is like
• 52:25
  stabbing it through its brain and it's like well through.
• 52:28
  The the brain with a blunt. Object show me how it works
• 52:35
  because you guys can you can show some gore you have 20 extra
• 52:41
  $1,000,000 but. And it's a creature.
• 52:45
  It's not like you gotta defend my sensibilities.
• 52:49
  But it's her kill I dislike a lot.
• 52:54
  Marcus, Hooray, he got to use a gun.
• 52:58
  You know, good old American firepower.
• 53:01
  That's what we need to save the day.
• 53:03
  And this time it's, you know, the kidz bop version of A Quiet
• 53:07
  Place, like where it was the mother who blew the head off of
• 53:12
  an alien. Now it's the kids.
• 53:13
  Very intentional. I don't know particularly why it
• 53:18
  wasn't like we're saying we're patchy passing the torch to the
• 53:22
  kids or we have to look after the kids.
• 53:24
  Like if that had been maybe more of a theme during the movie, it
• 53:28
  would make sense. But yes, the kids are are
• 53:32
  handling it, but it's not like reaffirming anything that
• 53:39
  they've been building up like. Yeah, There's no theme of
• 53:44
  empowerment for the children. There's no growth for the
• 53:48
  children, especially Marcus. Marcus has been a chump for this
• 53:52
  whole movie. And now here at the end, he's
• 53:55
  able to take his headphones off, stun the creature and then put a
• 54:00
  bullet in its brain. And I guess we're supposed to
• 54:03
  believe that he's now a grown up and he's ready to save the day.
• 54:07
  He. Grew a couple of feet in just
• 54:10
  one day. It's it's weak.
• 54:14
  It's not my favorite, but it's it pales in comparison to the
• 54:19
  blunt object slash damage that Reagan was able to pull off.
• 54:27
  I do like how everything looks in their environment in that in
• 54:33
  Reagan's area, because it's very like green and red.
• 54:37
  I feel like was it green? I know it was red but like.
• 54:40
  Yeah, red was prominent, but I think you're right.
• 54:42
  I think there was some green around some of the lighting.
• 54:48
  But it's. Spooky and eerie.
• 54:50
  Yeah, It felt like Stranger Things.
• 54:52
  So I don't know when Stranger Things came out, but before
• 54:55
  COVID, right? Yeah.
• 54:57
  I know the first season had to. So I like how that looked.
• 55:04
  I think the he shoots it back at the rail station and it just
• 55:13
  ends with her earpiece putting out the signal on the air.
• 55:19
  'Cause we're ready to save the world again, it's like.
• 55:23
  The ending of the first one sure make OK.
• 55:27
  I don't know. The third one should pick up
• 55:28
  immediately following like the next day.
• 55:32
  And then also in that one, we're ready to save the world.
• 55:39
  I'm picking up themes on these these particular movies, at
• 55:43
  least the way they both ended. And that's, that's probably my
• 55:49
  biggest criticism of the movie is this ending is so similar to
• 55:54
  the previous ending and it's, it doesn't feel earned, like you
• 56:00
  said. And it just feels again, like we
• 56:03
  could just end it here saying and the humans save the day be
• 56:09
  in. But.
• 56:10
  But I know we're not because Wikipedia tells me there's a
• 56:13
  Part 3 and a part 4 in the works and. 4-3 and four.
• 56:19
  Yeah, yeah, 3 and 4. See that's maybe when I came
• 56:24
  back to it all it was I would love to watch the day one to day
• 56:30
  300 when they lost their kid or day 89.
• 56:34
  I think day 89 is. 89 is when they lost their.
• 56:37
  Kid youngest, but we can't go back in time and so we can't.
• 56:41
  But man, that prequel at the beginning of this movie was
• 56:44
  maybe the funnest tension part because sure, we know that they
• 56:51
  survived this because we saw the first movie, but there's so many
• 56:56
  other people that they know that we can have not survived.
• 57:00
  And then the weight of the first movie kind of makes sense, like
• 57:06
  oh we managed to save this family and that is incredibly
• 57:09
  unlikely in this situation and we lose 1.
• 57:14
  Yeah, I'll agree with you there. And you know what, to not too
• 57:19
  heavily interrupt your flow, allow me to just remind the
• 57:23
  audience that on this show we do ratings, not grades.
• 57:28
  Primary difference is where you find an average in a grade.
• 57:31
  You say A7 out of 10 is the average, and so if something is
• 57:35
  bad, you kind of raise the score to get it closer to that
• 57:39
  average. But we say in a 10 point scale,
• 57:42
  5 out of 10 is the middle and that is the average.
• 57:46
  And if we say a movie is a 5 out of 10, we're not saying it's
• 57:49
  bad, we're just saying it's in the middle.
• 57:52
  So with that in mind, Justin, why don't you continue telling
• 57:55
  us what your thoughts are about this movie and then give us your
• 57:59
  rating? On the whole, in in the general,
• 58:03
  in the collective, in the summary, it it works as a sequel
• 58:11
  to tell us more of where the story left off, but the story
• 58:17
  kind of left off with a, you know, this means that they can
• 58:21
  save the world. So Part 2 is we're on the way to
• 58:26
  save the world. There's some like non epic
• 58:31
  moments, but we get to a radio that might save the world and we
• 58:42
  like yes, it ends the same way. They now they're going to save
• 58:48
  the world. We gave you a bit more story.
• 58:51
  It's like but did you convince me that last time what happens
• 58:55
  after will save the world? Did this movie convince me that
• 58:59
  this will actually save the world?
• 59:01
  Because like track record, they they brought a monster to this
• 59:08
  idyllic place that sure, it was accidentally, but they've
• 59:16
  they've made more problems than they've solved.
• 59:19
  Yes. They've killed, well, they wiped
• 59:23
  out one society, and then they seriously injured another
• 59:29
  society. I'm hopeful because you know
• 59:33
  what? There wasn't as most focus on
• 59:36
  the baby being a problem, so I kind of forget that, you know,
• 59:40
  that's so optimistic to have a child not on the island.
• 59:50
  I enjoy enough of it to say it's average.
• 59:57
  It's a 5. I don't.
• 1:00:05
  I don't really dislike anything that disrupts the plot or
• 1:00:11
  distracts from it. Like Marcus had to go find out
• 1:00:15
  something. Like, we kind of want to know
• 1:00:18
  more about Emmett. We find out more about it, it
• 1:00:20
  leads to a problem that's not Emmett's fault.
• 1:00:24
  Yeah, it's one where I, I kind of feel like Marcus is the bad
• 1:00:28
  guy in that. If anybody might get wiped out
• 1:00:33
  in the third movie, probably Marcus and I, I mostly stuck
• 1:00:42
  with five from when I ended it because it I think it tries to
• 1:00:49
  extend the family feeling from the first one where it was just
• 1:00:54
  so involved with. She's a growing teenager and
• 1:00:59
  dad's not listening and won't let her, you know, handle the
• 1:01:02
  gun. And this one, they're, they've
• 1:01:08
  found someone else that's lost their hope and they managed to
• 1:01:12
  bring it back. But like Marcus and Evelyn are
• 1:01:21
  still at the factory. So it based on the third movie,
• 1:01:28
  maybe this is sufficient. 5 is not a bad rating.
• 1:01:34
  Yeah, it's right in the middle. It is an average.
• 1:01:39
  I do love when you and I watch the same movie and come away
• 1:01:45
  with totally different experiences because I'm going to
• 1:01:49
  say, you know, the things that I didn't like were the exodus from
• 1:01:54
  the farm and almost everything to do with Marcus.
• 1:01:59
  Evelyn was fine. Her side quest was fine, but I
• 1:02:05
  found Reagan and Emmett so enormously compelling throughout
• 1:02:12
  that whole movie that I'm at an 8.
• 1:02:16
  I think this was one of those sequels that was better than the
• 1:02:21
  original. It continued telling a really
• 1:02:24
  good story. It continued establishing a
• 1:02:29
  really interesting world. I don't love the ending at all.
• 1:02:35
  And that's that's keeping it from a nine.
• 1:02:38
  Like I feel like Marcus is annoying.
• 1:02:42
  And that takes a full point off to, you know, so it can't be a
• 1:02:46
  10. And then the very end, where
• 1:02:50
  it's essentially a repeat of the previous movie's ending, that
• 1:02:54
  also takes a full point away from me.
• 1:02:57
  Every other criticism that I have about it is something where
• 1:03:01
  I'm like, all right, well, we just need the movie to happen,
• 1:03:03
  so fine, whatever, I'll live with that.
• 1:03:08
  But I feel like the very beginning is so strong and
• 1:03:13
  Reagan has become such a compelling character, and
• 1:03:18
  Killian Murphy playing Emmett is like he is adding so much to the
• 1:03:25
  movie that I didn't expect him to add to the movie.
• 1:03:29
  Like, he's surprisingly good in this movie, at least to me.
• 1:03:33
  And so, yeah, I came away thinking this like, no wonder
• 1:03:38
  they have already greenlit parts 3 and 4.
• 1:03:41
  Like, I'm on board with it. I had an an enormously good time
• 1:03:45
  with this movie. A much better time.
• 1:03:50
  Oh yeah, I was kind of annoyed by the last movie this time.
• 1:03:53
  Like there the annoyances were significantly lower than the
• 1:03:59
  previous one and the tension was significantly higher.
• 1:04:03
  Like this felt closer to a horror movie than the last one
• 1:04:08
  did, even though this is more of a sci-fi movie.
• 1:04:12
  And yeah, 8 out of 10. That gives us a show average of
• 1:04:17
  6.5 out of 10, which does, you know, fall lower than the
• 1:04:23
  original movie. But it does make me so
• 1:04:26
  incredibly interested in. Our score?
• 1:04:30
  How many times did you watch it? One time I will admit one.
• 1:04:34
  Time. Last time when you watched the
• 1:04:36
  first one, you watched it twice one.
• 1:04:37
  Time. I only watched it one time.
• 1:04:40
  I felt like there was something that you're like, I watched this
• 1:04:42
  in the first time. Maybe I watched it 2.
• 1:04:44
  Times and the second time I. Had seen the first movie before,
• 1:04:48
  like, and maybe I'll come back to the second movie and be like,
• 1:04:52
  oh, this is not an 8 out of 10 movie.
• 1:04:54
  But I watched it last night, not late at night, not like I
• 1:05:00
  normally do. I I had plenty of time to to be
• 1:05:05
  awake. But yeah, I was just like this
• 1:05:08
  movie. Like nobody told me that this
• 1:05:10
  movie was so good. I hadn't heard anything really
• 1:05:15
  good about it. I I feel like I recall when it
• 1:05:19
  came out but also just not planning to go in any movies
• 1:05:24
  after COVID for a while. Yeah.
• 1:05:27
  And this was around the time when I was a little nervous to
• 1:05:32
  go out to movies. I was, I think, you know, for
• 1:05:37
  our our time in history, we had been working in the same office
• 1:05:41
  building. And I remember, you know, us
• 1:05:44
  actively speculating, are they going to send us home?
• 1:05:48
  Like we can do our job at home. We don't need to be in this
• 1:05:52
  office building. And then I think it was like a
• 1:05:55
  week or two later that they sent us home.
• 1:05:59
  Yeah. So I I I do remember being
• 1:06:02
  nervous about going to movies and then never hearing anyone
• 1:06:06
  talk about it, seeing images, but never hearing anyone saying
• 1:06:10
  if the movie was good or bad. It just seemed like most people
• 1:06:14
  just forgot about it. I would think that's probably
• 1:06:19
  fair to. And I disagree right now, maybe
• 1:06:24
  if I watch it again I would have a different score, but at this
• 1:06:28
  moment I was shocked at how much fun I had with Part 2.
• 1:06:32
  I really enjoyed this movie so. But you know, that's the joy of
• 1:06:38
  having a movie podcast. If you have a strong opinion
• 1:06:43

  friends and you're like, hey, check out this podcast that I
• 1:07:31
  listen to. These guys are sometimes silly
• 1:07:34
  and sometimes insightful and sometimes I find myself talking
• 1:07:37
  back to them in the car as though I am sitting there with
• 1:07:41
  them as someone literally messaged me to say they did they
• 1:07:47
  they found themselves talking back to the podcast.
• 1:07:52
  So that was that was flattering to hear and feel free to let us
• 1:07:58
  know these things. But I guess until next time,
• 1:08:03
  shut up. Thanks for listening.
• 1:08:26
  This is what I'm nervous about with the next one.
• 1:08:30
  I'm nervous that the day one sequence from this movie is
• 1:08:36
  going to make the next movie feel slow and boring by
• 1:08:43
  comparison. Well, it's like I just enjoyed
• 1:08:46
  the first 10 minutes. It was so short, but I wanted to
• 1:08:52
  follow them so badly to the movie that they.
• 1:08:56
  Make it home. Yeah.
• 1:08:59
  Like how much of the barn did they have done when they were
• 1:09:03
  rocking across that bridge? How much Like how far had it
• 1:09:07
  gone to to have all the information they had at the
• 1:09:12
  beginning? And maybe that's what they'll
• 1:09:15
  flashback to in Part 3, but I can assure you we are not going
• 1:09:21
  to see that family at all in the next movie.
• 1:09:24
  Questions question that I would like to know before going to the
• 1:09:28
  next movie or something that I would like to see Tell me more.
• 1:09:34
  How many monsters were, I don't know, counted or estimated
• 1:09:42
  before the world died? Like, 'cause it feels like the
• 1:09:48
  first movie we're supposed to be like, well, there's four of them
• 1:09:51
  just around us. Like, OK, well, what sort of
• 1:09:54
  territory do they cover? What sort of, like, are there
• 1:09:59
  thousands across the world? Because, actually, the world's a
• 1:10:02
  giant. Place and if you've got 4 for
• 1:10:07
  like 20 scare square miles, you would only have like thousands
• 1:10:14
  of them to cover the entire globe.
• 1:10:17
  But that might be enough to cover the entire globe, maybe,
• 1:10:21
  and to, like, keep it all quiet. Yeah.
