• 0:43
  Wilson, Kate Beckinsale powerhouse of a film that came
• 0:47
  out in 2007. Vacancy.
• 0:49
  If you looked at our schedule and you weren't aware that this
• 0:52
  was a movie that existed, and you're like, oh, they're just
• 0:55
  going to have a free week with no episode.
• 0:58
  No, no. Yeah, Oh my God, I didn't even
• 1:01
  think of. That, yeah.
• 1:03
  But strangely, in 2007. Yeah, like the big like we had
• 1:08
  to go back to 2007 this. Week.
• 1:10
  Just a process. Yeah, just to process
• 1:12
  everything. Yeah, You know, that is a funny
• 1:15
  thing. I I'm realizing that people
• 1:17
  don't know what this movie is. Yeah.
• 1:19
  And I, I'm shocked at that because this is a movie that was
• 1:22
  pretty big back in our time. You know, I remember it having
• 1:26
  like a pretty popular reaction at least.
• 1:29
  So I'm, I'm, I'm kind of shocked that people aren't aware of this
• 1:32
  one, but I guess. Remember it, but I don't
• 1:35
  remember it being like huge. It's one of those that you bring
• 1:38
  it up now and people go, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't like a
• 1:41
  huge, huge movie, but people that I was friends with that

  Hell yeah. If you would like to watch it,

• 4:41
  on a streaming service. But you can rent it on Apple TV,
• 4:44
  YouTube, Amazon or Fandango at home.
• 4:47
  OK. Written by Mark L Smith,
• 4:50
  directed by Nimrod and Towel, music by Paul Hasslinger and
• 4:54
  special effects makeup by Chris Wakowiak.
• 4:58
  Starring Kate Beckinsale as Amy, Luke Wilson as David, Frank
• 5:03
  Welley as Mason, or as I would like to call him the manager
• 5:06
  because we never really get his name, I don't think.
• 5:08
  Yeah, I was. I was trying to find an opening
• 5:11
  quote for this and I was like who the fuck is Mason?
• 5:14
  Yeah, I don't think they ever actually said it in the movie.
• 5:16
  Yeah, by the way, in my opening quote, if you guys couldn't
• 5:19
  tell, it was the bell. Yeah, yeah, Ethan Embry as
• 5:25
  mechanic and Scott Anderson as killer.
• 5:29
  Yeah. See, they didn't get me.
• 5:30
  We never find out that the whole time in my notes, he was either
• 5:34
  Clerk or Frank. So the actor's name?
• 5:38
  Yeah, he's never Mason, that's not.
• 5:41
  Me, I just I wrote him as manager the entire time.
• 5:44
  No, he wasn't even manager for me.
• 5:46
  He was, he said. He said he was a manager.
• 5:48
  I know that much. At least.
• 5:49
  But he also said that they would be OK to stay the night.
• 5:52
  That's right, he said. A lot of things, he made a lot
• 5:55
  of statements out there. We don't know how much of it's
• 5:57
  true. We got a nice little cast for
• 6:00
  this. I think it's a small cast, but
• 6:01
  we've got some powerhouses right here.
• 6:03
  Yeah, I'm really pleased to talk about Luke Wilson for once.
• 6:06
  Can I ask you a question? I know we're not in the
• 6:08
  discussion portion yet but I think this is really important
• 6:10
  for the vibes of our podcast. True.
• 6:12
  Is this a single location movie? I actually thought about this
• 6:15
  myself last night. Because we had this argument
• 6:18
  about olds. Now, if I debate myself, old
• 6:21
  Travis, I would say no. But Travis today has grown.
• 6:26
  And I think that he would admit that this is probably a single
• 6:29
  location movie because we start off with them in this one little
• 6:34
  snippet of area right here. And it's all pretty much
• 6:37
  contained within the two mile radius.
• 6:39
  Yeah, and it's pretty much entirely at that motel and gas
• 6:42
  station. So yeah, I think I would call
• 6:44
  this a single location. OK.
• 6:45
  I I would too. I would land on it like it's on
• 6:48
  the broader end of the spectrum. Like, you know, a single
• 6:51
  location is a circle. That's the type of graphic I
• 6:53
  assume that a single location should be because it's single
• 6:57
  table. Yeah, it would be like towards
• 6:59
  the perimeter of the circle. True.
• 7:01
  No, but it would still be within that circle.
• 7:04
  Don't take this as me budging on movies like The Descendant or
• 7:06
  old because those spent a lot of time at other places not.
• 7:10
  That. Much, but this one right here.
• 7:12
  I'll I'll give it to you. This is a single location for
• 7:15
  sure. OK, so I have the movies Budget.
• 7:19
  Would you like to play this little game we call Budget or
• 7:21
  Bucktead that did not go the way we always do it?
• 7:26
  I took in a breath and. Like.
• 7:28
  My heart skipped a beat because I couldn't do.
• 7:32
  This too too off script here. My body is out of.
• 7:36
  Source now. OK, well, let's, let's correct.
• 7:39
  Let's make things all right and well.
• 7:41
  All right, it's time for our favorite game on the show.
• 7:43
  Budget or budget? I can't breathe, man.
• 7:49
  Yeah, we're off to a hot start this month.
• 7:54
  Listen. Kay Beckinsale, huge name.
• 7:56
  Luke Wilson, big name. He's still in the shadow of his
• 8:00
  brother, unfortunately. At this point I think he's made
• 8:03
  a name for himself, but Owen reigned supreme.
• 8:05
  No, we're going to have to play. Could Owen do this later?
• 8:09
  And we'll explain. The rules for that everybody.
• 8:11
  It sounds pretty self-explanatory, but there's
• 8:13
  rules. Ethan Embry.
• 8:18
  He was just a few years past being Bobby Ray in Sweet Home
• 8:22
  Alabama. Like these are all decent name.
• 8:25
  Frank Whaley. I don't know him, but he's.
• 8:29
  With that guy for me, but I still think it's bug Ted.
• 8:36
  But I'm going to say like higher bug Ted.
• 8:38
  OK, well Jesse, you would be shocked.
• 8:41
  This is a budget movie. The budget being 19,000,000.
• 8:46
  Wow. I mean, there was like a lot of
• 8:48
  such stuff they had to do and they destroyed a lot of things
• 8:52
  with cars. They did, yeah.
• 8:54
  There was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes with this
• 8:57
  thing opening box office 7.6 million.
• 9:00
  Worldwide gross 35.4 million. That's not what you want.
• 9:05
  No, but this is, I think, at that era where you could still
• 9:11
  make a buck back on home media and stuff like that.
• 9:14
  So I think it made it OK. IMDb score.
• 9:18
  IMDb score, 6.2 out of 10. OK.
• 9:23
  Pretty good. Yeah.
• 9:23
  Yeah. All right.
• 9:25
  So I have three other movies that released in 2007.
• 9:27
  I do have a theme in common with this movie.
• 9:31
  It's all we're we're finding disturbing VHS tapes with really
• 9:37
  scary videos in them. OK.
• 9:40
  Movie #1. I'm surprised that this is such
• 9:42
  a common theme in 2007. Yeah, I know.
• 9:45
  Me too. So movie number one saw four,
• 9:48
  obviously. Oh yeah.
• 9:51
  Yeah, we get the tapes of Billy, and then he does the
• 9:53
  demonstrations of how you're gonna die in this trap, which
• 9:57
  it's pretty terrifying if you ask.
• 9:59
  Me tried to dog shame Talia the other day because she was just
• 10:04
  like she didn't have, she didn't have the household brain cell
• 10:09
  that day. As we've discussed, we have a
• 10:10
  brain cell that we passed between the five of us and she
• 10:13
  was just running and doing everything and in the process
• 10:16
  like destroying my ceramic frogs out front.
• 10:20
  She she jumped up into the car while I was still holding the
• 10:23
  leash a good distance from the car, so she like caught herself
• 10:26
  midair. And yeah, she wildly coyote an
• 10:29
  entrance into the car. Yep, and I just and Travis was
• 10:31
  like, you need to slow down. And I looked at her and was
• 10:33
  like, did you learn nothing from Lieutenant Riggs game?
• 10:37
  We just watched that goddamn movie.
• 10:39
  We did. And and you know what she did
• 10:41
  her ears back. She was like, oh shit, that's a
• 10:42
  good point. Yeah, threatened her with a saw
• 10:44
  trap. Well, it's not a good time.
• 10:46
  So saw her release October 26th, 2007.
• 10:49
  Budget of $10 million, worldwide gross $139 million.
• 10:54
  IMDb 5.9. I'm glad that that one is
• 10:59
  decently rated on there. I wish it was a little bit
• 11:01
  higher, but I think like. I think that .1 to 6 would have
• 11:05
  been appropriate right there. Movie #2 I know I always say
• 11:09
  this. Probably not how it's supposed
• 11:11
  to be said based off of the region, but Poughkeepsie Tapes.
• 11:16
  I know it's Poughkeepsie. Is that how people usually say
• 11:19
  it? I like Poughkeepsie.
• 11:21
  Poughkeepsie. Yeah.
• 11:24
  Poughkeepsie, yeah. I mean, that's the, that's the
• 11:26
  killer. He like he plays for
• 11:28
  Poughkeepsie. He does.
• 11:30
  I'm shocked you haven't picked that as a birthday movie for
• 11:33
  yourself at any point. It will come soon.
• 11:35
  I like that movie. It's a very scary movie to me
• 11:37
  and lots of disturbing found footage in that one for sure.
• 11:41
  And that movie actually released one week later from this one,
• 11:45
  April 27th, 2007. I don't have any of the
• 11:49
  financial information for this, but also 5.9 on IMDb.
• 11:54
  That one I'm a little less surprised about the score
• 11:57
  because I feel like it is pretty divisive amongst the people who
• 12:00
  do know about it. I don't feel like it's a super
• 12:03
  well known one, but it is kind of, it kind of gets passed
• 12:06
  around in those like most disturbing horror movies you've
• 12:09
  probably never heard. Of it's one of those, well, it
• 12:12
  was one of those movies that it didn't release for so long and
• 12:17
  people were passing around. I, if I remember correctly, like
• 12:20
  bootlegged copies of it before. Because I think it only had
• 12:25
  like, I think at this time in April 27th, 2007, it had like a
• 12:29
  temporary release on like DIRECTV or something like that.
• 12:32
  I can't remember. I don't know.
• 12:33
  Yeah. It was hard to find for a bit.
• 12:35
  And then it finally actually made its way out back in like
• 12:38
  2014, 2015, something like that. I don't know anything about like
• 12:42
  I didn't hear about it until we were together, which was
• 12:44
  obviously a few years later and you were like, hey, we should
• 12:47
  try and find this creepy movie. Yeah, it was a good time.
• 12:50
  I like it. We'll we'll talk about it
• 12:51
  eventually, I'm sure. You had such like romantic date
• 12:54
  ideas for us. Yeah, man, I came in hot.
• 12:57
  No, that one we watched after we moved in together.
• 12:59
  Once we moved in together, I was like, OK, I think I could maybe
• 13:01
  start throwing on some freaky shit.
• 13:03
  This coming from the man who we started watching Human Centipede
• 13:08
  2 very early on in the relationship.
• 13:10
  It's like the first month of dating right there.
• 13:12
  Bad. Don't recommend people.
• 13:14
  Yeah, you ended up cutting it off, but.
• 13:16
  OK, final movie. Paranormal Activity.
• 13:19
  I was, I'm just thinking like we need to get on with the
• 13:22
  Paranormal Activity series. It won't happen in September and
• 13:27
  unlikely in October, but maybe. I was actually thinking that
• 13:30
  too. Maybe in November. 4 is next.
• 13:31
  Yeah, it was a pretty solid 1. I remember I like 4 a lot.
• 13:34
  Yeah. So Paranormal Activity released
• 13:36
  October 16th, 2007, $15,000 budget, $193 million gross.
• 13:43
  This thing went toe to toe is software and it beat it.
• 13:46
  It came out one week, No 10 days earlier.
• 13:49
  And it made Blumhouse what it is today.
• 13:51
  It is, yeah. It is the movie that made
• 13:53
  Blumhouse. Which it now has saw.
• 13:56
  So we've got Oh my God, the. Connection.
• 13:59
  Yeah. IMDb.
• 14:01
  I can't remember if I said, but 6.3 out of 10, yeah.
• 14:04
  So yeah, that's the highest out of them here.
• 14:07
  Fuck Mika. Alright, it's up to you, my
• 14:09
  obligatory. Yeah, Mika Mika's a dirtbag.
• 14:13
  Shit. OK, so I've got our tagline's
• 14:16
  the one on the poster. Once you're in, there's no way
• 14:19
  out. There's a couple ways out,
• 14:22
  actually. I.
• 14:23
  Assume they probably didn't want to deal with the lawsuit but
• 14:28
  like you can check out anytime you like but you can never
• 14:31
  leave. Oh my God, that is our tagline
• 14:35
  for this movie. Do we want to deal with the
• 14:37
  lawsuit? Take it like, bring it.
• 14:40
  We need to do the Spirit Halloween version of this right?
• 14:45
  What does that mean? Like where it's very obvious
• 14:49
  what like you see like red hatted plumber man.
• 14:52
  Oh yeah, I gotcha. We'll think on it.
• 14:55
  We'll think on it. OK.
• 14:55
  We don't. We don't do that section until
• 14:57
  the end of the show. True.
• 14:58
  Yeah, yeah. OK, OK, two more.
• 15:01
  How can you escape dot dot dot if they can see everything?
• 15:08
  Yeah. I mean, we have to watch and
• 15:10
  find out, I guess. Yeah.
• 15:11
  Final one. Once you've checked in dot dot
• 15:14
  dot, the terror begins. That's not bad.
• 15:19
  That's not too bad. I I mean, honestly, the one that
• 15:22
  you had is like perfect. I can't wait for that.
• 15:25
  Like that. That should have been the
• 15:27
  tagline for this. Yeah, I just feel like the
• 15:29
  Eagles probably wouldn't endorse that.
• 15:31
  No, probably not. Yeah.
• 15:34
  OK, so let's do some fun facts. So this was originally set in
• 15:39
  New Mexico. It was based off of Mark L
• 15:41
  Smith's trips that he would do with his wife.
• 15:43
  They had some kind of ranch that they lived on and I think
• 15:48
  maintained, and then they had like some like offseason for
• 15:52
  months. So they would use that time to
• 15:54
  travel and apparently like places like New Mexico, they
• 15:57
  would have these long stretches of Rd. where they would see all
• 16:00
  of these motels and they would just see that they were
• 16:03
  completely empty. And they would just think to
• 16:05
  themselves like, how are these places still operating?
• 16:08
  How are they open? When you started that little
• 16:13
  sentence story, whatever, I thought it was going to end in a
• 16:17
  very different way because you said they had a ranch and in the
• 16:19
  offseason. They would like, make snuff
• 16:22
  films, yeah. And that's where I thought you
• 16:24
  were going with that. So I'm glad that's not the case.
• 16:27
  I thought it was going to be based off of their experiences
• 16:28
  too, but no, it's just like seeing all that stuff and just
• 16:31
  like thinking to yourself. Yeah, they just get the inspir.
• 16:34
  Yeah. Like you start to tell yourself
• 16:36
  a story like that. Yeah, so the motel for this
• 16:41
  movie was actually built on a sound stage.
• 16:43
  It was the one that Sony's a lot.
• 16:46
  It was the very same place where they filmed The Wizard of Oz.
• 16:49
  How cool. Yeah.
• 16:50
  Which I think that's kind of amazing that they still have
• 16:54
  that there for people can operate.
• 16:56
  And like, I would be saying that to everybody, too.
• 16:58
  Like I filmed my movie where Wizard of Oz was filmed.
• 17:00
  Like, what did you do? Yeah, you know, I had Luke
• 17:03
  Wilson. And who did you have?
• 17:06
  Owen Oh, the third Wilson Nobody ever talks about the third.
• 17:11
  Wilson Yeah. So yeah, they like.
• 17:15
  So with it being freshly built, they had to like really dirty
• 17:18
  things up. Like everything in the set there
• 17:21
  is new, but they had to make it grimy, which when you look at
• 17:25
  this hotel or motel excuse. Me.
• 17:27
  It is, yeah. It's a grimy.
• 17:30
  It is a motel. They had to like age everything
• 17:32
  down, make it look like it was from the 60s.
• 17:35
  They did a really good job. I imagine them taking a vacuum
• 17:39
  cleaner and like instead of sucking things up, they just
• 17:42
  like yeah. Yeah, honestly, that would
• 17:45
  actually be really effective. They used the same
• 17:47
  cinematographer as the guy that shot Pulp Fiction and Reservoir
• 17:51
  Dogs. Oh cool.
• 17:52
  Yeah, really cool. The guy's super established.
• 17:54
  You know what? There were some shots that I was
• 17:57
  like, I made notes. I was like, Dang, that's a
• 17:58
  fucking cool shot. Yeah, the guy did a great job.
• 18:01
  They really wanted to go for like a noir style film and they
• 18:05
  wanted to use some really harsh lighting.
• 18:07
  OK. Also that's real fun because at
• 18:10
  the beginning, like the opening credit, they morphed from like
• 18:13
  in Vertigo shot to a shining shot.
• 18:17
  So what they did, yeah. So that Norbit, I was like, OK,
• 18:22
  I'm glad that that was very much intentional.
• 18:24
  Yeah, their biggest in. Vertigo were in Vertigo in
• 18:28
  Vertigo was Vertigo poster Vertigo's the movie.
• 18:31
  Vertigo's the movie. Yeah, yeah, they they were
• 18:34
  really going for that Hitchcock style.
• 18:36
  Yeah, OK. That's what.
• 18:37
  They they really did use him for influence, right?
• 18:40
  OK, well, it came across. Yeah.
• 18:42
  I mean, also, you think of like the hotel here.
• 18:43
  You got Norman Bates also. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:46
  And like they would do things like they would apply like shaky
• 18:48
  Cam and stuff like that to convey tenseness of the scenes.
• 18:53
  The snuff films were all like that was the first thing that
• 18:56
  they filmed for this movie. And the way that they went about
• 18:59
  doing it, they actually just they took the motel room that
• 19:02
  they had and they rigged it with cameras all around like we see
• 19:05
  in the stuff films here. And they very loosely blocked
• 19:09
  the scene. So like they kind of like showed
• 19:11
  the actors OK, like, hey, earmark here, go over here, do
• 19:13
  this. But they weren't very strict
• 19:15
  with it. They wanted to go with more of a
• 19:17
  free flow thing. So once they went in there, they
• 19:20
  had like a loose idea of what they wanted, but they let them
• 19:23
  improv and go wild for most of that.
• 19:25
  And the way that they explained is like they wanted to capture
• 19:29
  that raw feeling, make it actually feel scary.
• 19:33
  And they just didn't feel like they would be able to get that
• 19:35
  if they like actually like manufactured every movement
• 19:40
  which the DVD has those, you can watch all of those films
• 19:43
  unedited. There is actually kind of
• 19:46
  creepy. Yeah, like I I got.
• 19:49
  Uncomfortable in self watching them with Travis.
• 19:51
  There was 1 funny 1 though, where like apparently a guy was
• 19:53
  sleeping through the entire thing so they just like went to
• 19:55
  the mattress and just flipped them off of the mattress onto
• 19:58
  the floor, which I thought that that was pretty funny, but the
• 20:01
  rest of them were actually pretty effective and the the
• 20:04
  stunts they actually did the stunts like with the car
• 20:07
  crashing into the. The motel, the phone booth.
• 20:11
  Yeah, I guess you can't really fake that without it.
• 20:14
  Like they, they spoke very harshly about CGI.
• 20:17
  They're like, we're going for real shit with this one right
• 20:19
  here. We're actually like using stunts
• 20:21
  and we went for it. But the big one especially was
• 20:25
  the scene where they drove into the motel with a guy.
• 20:29
  They actually had somebody hanging inside the sunroof.
• 20:33
  They had the car rigged on like wires and winches.
• 20:38
  That way they could get it on like a motion where they could
• 20:41
  just like redo it over and over again and get it the way that
• 20:43
  they needed it to be. And there actually was a person
• 20:46
  on the receiving end of that getting hit with the car.
• 20:50
  And they had the car. It was interesting.
• 20:52
  They it looked like it was rigged with what looked like
• 20:55
  airbags or like just padding. And the stunt person was padded
• 21:00
  up to. And yeah, they would just like
• 21:02
  actually run the car into the motel, into the person, not in
• 21:06
  the walls or anything. Thankfully, I think that they
• 21:08
  added that stuff in post. But yeah, like I actually went
• 21:12
  for it and they pulled it off. I thought that that was a really
• 21:15
  well done stunt. And that's pretty much it for my
• 21:18
  fun facts here. I think we can go ahead and get
• 21:21
  on into the good, bad, ugly and absurd for this movie then.
• 21:24
  And Jesse, that means you kick it off.
• 21:26
  What did you like about this? Well, I like we talked about,
• 21:29
  there's some really cool shots. Like there's this one where
• 21:32
  David is going to the phone booth and we don't watch him
• 21:36
  going to the phone booth. We watch the reflection in the
• 21:38
  window as Amy's kind of like got an eye out.
• 21:41
  That is cool, I like that. It's such a cool shot, and they
• 21:44
  just, they do little tricks like that the whole time that makes
• 21:46
  it really visually interesting in what could be a very generic
• 21:50
  looking movie. There's a lot of interesting
• 21:54
  shining imagery here as well. Like we've got that opening shot
• 21:58
  of them on the mountain pass. Yeah.
• 22:00
  Nice little nods to the genre that I think is like, kind of
• 22:03
  like, we know this isn't like the first time you've seen this.
• 22:06
  We're going to put our own spin on it.
• 22:07
  This is heavily inspired. Yeah, and we'll pay homage to.
• 22:11
  Other. Things, yeah.
• 22:12
  I think that the first couple of acts are really great because
• 22:15
  it's really smart how it's done. Like you're acknowledging that
• 22:20
  our main characters fucked up by getting off the Interstate.
• 22:23
  So it's not like they're trying to justify it.
• 22:26
  Like it's like, yeah, I took a shortcut.
• 22:27
  It's not working out so well. And the killers are like ready
• 22:31
  for every eventuality for those first couple of acts.
• 22:35
  Yeah. And I think that that just like,
• 22:37
  cuz you're sitting there and you're like, OK, what would I do
• 22:39
  in this scenario? And the couple is doing those
• 22:42
  things. Doing everything right.
• 22:43
  Yeah, yeah, they're doing everything.
• 22:45
  And it's, it's a really effective way to do a movie like
• 22:49
  this instead of you being like, well, that's fucking stupid.
• 22:51
  Why don't they just XYZ And you have to like kind of rationalize
• 22:54
  with yourself, like, OK, well, everybody's not great in a
• 22:57
  situation like this. Yeah, I feel like like we have
• 22:59
  to do that too much in movies, and I'm OK with that some of the
• 23:03
  time. I know I've defended that some
• 23:05
  of the time, but also some of the time.
• 23:06
  It's really nice to see a smart person in a horror movie.
• 23:08
  Yeah, like, you can tell. Like, it's not them pulling shit
• 23:11
  out of their ass here. Like, they're actually, like,
• 23:13
  thinking things, going through the motions, like, actually
• 23:15
  calculated moves. Yeah.
• 23:17
  I was like, like you in this movie, just putting myself in
• 23:20
  that situation. Like, what the fuck would I do?
• 23:22
  Like how do you get out of this? Yeah.
• 23:25
  And then I also thought, like the relationship and the
• 23:27
  different ways of handling grief between the two of them and
• 23:32
  their marriage falling apart and all of that.
• 23:34
  I thought it was so well done. Yeah, me too.
• 23:38
  Because that grief thing especially too, the way they're
• 23:40
  processing their grief differently, it is just so
• 23:44
  fucking real. Yeah, like you can understand
• 23:47
  where they're both coming from, but they're not exactly handling
• 23:51
  it the healthiest way. Yes.
• 23:52
  It's it makes for a compelling story for sure.
• 23:56
  Compelling characters to follow. Yes.
• 23:59
  So All in all, I just thought like the setup, the the
• 24:04
  cinematography, everything was just really effective for me.
• 24:08
  Yeah. For me, I agree with a lot of
• 24:11
  the things that you said. One of them was like the organic
• 24:14
  building of the characters here, like because we're just throwing
• 24:17
  in with them in the opening. She wakes up from being like,
• 24:22
  you know, on this trip to the parents, and you can tell it's
• 24:25
  an overnight trip. It's like 1:00 in the morning
• 24:28
  and there is some tension and it's immediately obvious and you
• 24:33
  just kind of like it. It unfolds naturally for you.
• 24:36
  It never feels force or like a cheap gimmick.
• 24:38
  Like, oh, our son died. You know what I mean?
• 24:40
  Like it's like, oh, I can understand how both of these
• 24:45
  people are feeling and like it's both justified, but man, they
• 24:49
  are just not handling this. Well, at one point in my notes I
• 24:53
  wrote This is why we need no fault divorce.
• 24:55
  Yeah, like. I mean, it's just, it's a very
• 24:58
  unfortunate situation, but I think that it's a really
• 25:01
  interesting dynamic too, because you're putting these characters
• 25:04
  that are like done with each other and now they have to like,
• 25:08
  fight for their lives together. And it's just like, yeah, it's
• 25:12
  really, it's really compelling. Like I, I also just, I think
• 25:18
  that the whole premise is super scary.
• 25:21
  You always go to these motels and it's always sketchy.
• 25:25
  And like, if you go to 1, like this one right here, especially
• 25:27
  the ones that share the doors. We were talking about this last
• 25:29
  night. But that's such like a relic of
• 25:31
  the past, I think. I don't know.
• 25:33
  I've not been in a motel that's done that in a long time.
• 25:36
  But like the fact that you share a fucking door with strangers, I
• 25:40
  don't like that. And you're just, you're out of
• 25:43
  your element. You're in an unnatural place and
• 25:47
  you just never quite feel safe or comfortable there.
• 25:50
  And this movie really, really like plays into those fears that
• 25:54
  everybody has. It's super relatable.
• 25:56
  Well, yeah. And like, I think most people
• 25:58
  could probably tell you a story of a time that they've been in a
• 26:01
  hotel or a motel and they come back and they're like, it feels
• 26:04
  like somebody's been in here. Yeah, Yeah, has violated Myspace
• 26:10
  and that's what this whole movie is just praying on.
• 26:13
  And also the unfortunate bit of it all that there is like, I
• 26:19
  hate dark web market for that film.
• 26:22
  It's the other part too, the fact that like snuff films, I'm
• 26:26
  a fucking sucker for that as a premise in a horror movie
• 26:29
  because it's. Thank you for adding as a
• 26:31
  premise. No, I, I, I do not watch snuff
• 26:34
  films. I refuse to watch snuff films
• 26:36
  because like, I've seen a show like that whenever I was a kid
• 26:39
  and I really don't want to expose myself to that if I
• 26:41
  really don't have to see it. That's why I'm glad Reddit like,
• 26:44
  banned the watch people fucking die, yeah.
• 26:47
  Subreddit. It's just I, you know, you know,
• 26:49
  it's, it's such a dark and scary concepts and you know, the way
• 26:56
  that they do it here, like they put these people in the rooms
• 26:58
  and then they give you the tapes that they're making in that room
• 27:01
  for you to watch yourself. And that's mindfuck.
• 27:04
  That is a mindfuck, but a fucking power play right there
• 27:06
  too. It's so scary.
• 27:08
  And it tells you and this is another one of those things like
• 27:10
  this movie didn't spoon feed things like we get like little
• 27:15
  trips, drips and trickles of how everything has happened with the
• 27:20
  couple. Like it doesn't.
• 27:21
  Like man I can't believe that I agreed to go to your parents
• 27:23
  engagement party even though we're on the cusp of divorce
• 27:25
  after our child died. Like.
• 27:27
  Yeah, if you, like a bad rider would have just like stuck that
• 27:31
  in there and just like jammed it or would have stuck out like a
• 27:33
  sore thumb, but everything just kind of flowed.
• 27:35
  Naturally and like we get the idea of how they've been doing
• 27:39
  this for so long from the amount of tapes like the truck driver
• 27:41
  that's coming to pick up his shipment.
• 27:44
  He's done this regularly enough that he's a well known customer
• 27:48
  and he's getting a giant fucking box of multiple people.
• 27:52
  How how long have they been doing this?
• 27:54
  You know what? I.
• 27:55
  Mean they had a missed opportunity here that could have
• 27:58
  been rusty now. Oh my God.
• 28:01
  We could have had a crossover. Oh my God, put in, put this in
• 28:06
  the joyride over. I mean, honestly, yeah, I, I
• 28:09
  could consider it, it could be a Jason joyride adjacent right
• 28:12
  here. But like I you know cuz he could
• 28:15
  make the tapes too and give it to them.
• 28:17
  Oh my God, no. He dream sequel, dream sequel,
• 28:21
  dream sequel. Sorry it's so early.
• 28:23
  But like, Rusty Nails stops at this motel and then he becomes
• 28:26
  the killer of the snuff films, except it's like bad guy versus
• 28:30
  bad guy instead of like couple that you want to root.
• 28:32
  For Oh my God I would love that movie.
• 28:35
  That's a great idea for a sequel to this right here.
• 28:38
  We need that crossover. Yes.
• 28:40
  OK, well, let's talk about some bad stuff.
• 28:42
  OK, the last act kind of falls apart for me.
• 28:46
  That's where we stop having the like, man, they've done
• 28:49
  everything right. Like why did the fucking cop not
• 28:52
  call in that they're. Backup.
• 28:55
  Yeah, that they need backup. Like there's some shit
• 28:57
  happening. Even when he gets in the car, he
• 28:59
  doesn't call anybody. And then here's what really
• 29:02
  fucking pisses me off is later on in the morning when Amy calls
• 29:07
  911 again, they're like, oh, we already sent somebody out to
• 29:09
  that location and I screamed at the TVI was like, that was hours
• 29:13
  ago and he never came back. And nobody is bothered by that.
• 29:17
  Yeah, that like that kind of, it feels like they didn't know how
• 29:22
  to end this movie. They were like we need to get to
• 29:26
  the point where we do AB and C and they didn't workshop this as
• 29:32
  well as they could have. They needed to give you hope,
• 29:35
  but they needed to do in a way that, like, that felt earned, I
• 29:40
  guess. I don't know.
• 29:41
  Yeah, Like, yeah, I don't know. They it it does a little like
• 29:46
  fall apart just a tad bit there. Yeah, it just that that really
• 29:51
  kind of ruins the ending because up until then, it's like, man,
• 29:55
  that we don't have to do any suspension of disbelief.
• 29:57
  Like they've done all of the right things that they need to
• 30:00
  do. But yeah, that that kind of
• 30:03
  upsets me. And then also the types of
• 30:04
  cameras that are in the vents don't seem like they'd be
• 30:10
  wireless, like they look like Canon cameras or whatnot.
• 30:16
  And how are they getting live feedback in the office from
• 30:20
  them? That's a good point.
• 30:22
  Yeah. I don't they unless they have
• 30:25
  like, see, I think it would have made sense if like room 3 would
• 30:29
  have been like where everything's like plugged in,
• 30:32
  yes. And it would have been like the
• 30:33
  Control Center or whatever. That would have made perfect
• 30:35
  sense. Yeah, they didn't do that.
• 30:37
  You're right. It doesn't really make sense
• 30:38
  when you think about that. Yeah.
• 30:40
  And like, I think they should have just not shown such an up
• 30:44
  close of the camera to the point to be like, well, that's, that's
• 30:48
  not how this is going to work. Or like they're not watching
• 30:51
  live footage. Like they've done this so many
• 30:54
  times. They don't need to watch the
• 30:55
  live footage. They know they've got this
• 30:56
  person, these people trapped. I don't know, just there were
• 30:59
  just a couple of little things that I think could have been
• 31:02
  like workshopped a little bit more, edited some, but those are
• 31:06
  the main grapes I have with it. OK, yeah, I agree with a lot,
• 31:10
  like most of what you said there.
• 31:12
  I think just the other thing, I feel like the killers could have
• 31:15
  been, I don't know, a little bit more present, like more scary.
• 31:21
  They have like the mask reminds me of the hush mask yes, I'm not
• 31:26
  really a big fan of that, even with him taking that mask off
• 31:29
  and that movie, but like it's just.
• 31:32
  I knew. I knew we were going to have to
• 31:34
  talk about Hush. Did you really?
• 31:36
  Yes. I mean, honestly, it looks like
• 31:38
  it doesn't. Yes, Yeah.
• 31:40
  It's just, I don't know, like if you're going to have them there,
• 31:43
  make them be like, real scary. I don't know, like, I guess
• 31:46
  they're going for a like, grounded and real here.
• 31:48
  But like, people get scary masks sometimes, you know what I mean?
• 31:52
  Like, I don't know, I would have liked to have them fuck with
• 31:56
  them in more interesting ways, like, other than banging on the
• 32:00
  door over and over again. And that's their one and only
• 32:02
  trick. Yeah.
• 32:03
  Yeah. Like, you know, just like
• 32:06
  moments of them, like, you know, appearing in the room with them
• 32:09
  and then disappearing. You're fucking with them and you
• 32:12
  see a little bit like where they had done that.
• 32:13
  But like I would have like a moment like the strangers where
• 32:16
  you see like back end like in Yeah, or like in the back of
• 32:19
  like the room in the hallway and just like walking up behind her
• 32:22
  while she's just standing there in a we had.
• 32:24
  Oblivious area? Yeah, we had that one time and
• 32:28
  it didn't really have much pay off.
• 32:30
  Yeah, exactly. Because it's like when later he
• 32:32
  discovers that they can enter through the bat.
• 32:34
  Like we already knew that. Yeah, yeah, OK, ugly.
• 32:39
  This snuff of it all. This snuff of it all.
• 32:42
  Yeah. That's true that that is really
• 32:44
  ugly that people do. That, yeah.
• 32:47
  Yeah, mine is the relationship dynamic that we have between the
• 32:51
  two, the way that they are going at each other.
• 32:53
  It's so toxic. And it's like they're grieving
• 32:56
  over the same thing, but they're using that grief as ammunition
• 32:59
  against each other in a weird way.
• 33:01
  I don't know. It's it's weird.
• 33:04
  I hate that they're both in that situation.
• 33:08
  Yeah. It's just, it's really
• 33:09
  unfortunate. And then also just that nasty
• 33:13
  ass hotel. Like that was a thing, Jesse and
• 33:16
  I when we had to take Talia up to her surgery a few years ago.
• 33:20
  Yeah, when Talia had the the piece of her jaw removed with
• 33:24
  the tumor in it, we stayed in a hotel that was near the
• 33:29
  hospital. And because her surgery was
• 33:31
  really fucking expensive, obviously we couldn't spend
• 33:35
  Jeeped out a ton on the hotel. So between what we could afford
• 33:39
  and what was going to be in a decent distance of it, I didn't
• 33:45
  sleep under the covers. Yeah, it was.
• 33:48
  It was. We didn't shower there because
• 33:50
  we would have come out feeling dirtier than going in.
• 33:53
  I. Mean like immediately in this
• 33:55
  movie first shot you see is a giant Roach hanging off.
• 33:58
  I think I remember we saw like a bug in like the bathroom or
• 34:00
  something like that. It was.
• 34:01
  Nasty. It was so bad.
• 34:03
  It was. And I was like looking around, I
• 34:05
  was like, this looks like the type of place they'd kill.
• 34:06
  Like is there any events where there might be a camera?
• 34:09
  Yeah, yeah, I, I it's just one of those ones where you feel
• 34:12
  anything. It's so bad.
• 34:12
  It was so bad. Yeah, but it makes movies like
• 34:14
  when you watch movies like this, more immersive because you can
• 34:17
  put yourself right there and be like, OK, I know exactly how
• 34:20
  they're feeling. Yeah, yeah.
• 34:23
  All right, absurd stuff. The fucking sparkler at the gas
• 34:26
  station. Yes.
• 34:27
  OK, first of all, if I go anywhere and you non
• 34:31
  consensually give me a firework, I'm gonna be pissed off.
• 34:35
  And I like here, it's like, I gotta give this to you.
• 34:37
  This is what we gotta do. I have to hand you the sparkler.
• 34:40
  And she's gonna be in an closed area.
• 34:43
  It's in the fucking car. That's not safe.
• 34:46
  And you know what? Even if they weren't in the car,
• 34:48
  they're right next to a gas pump.
• 34:51
  Yeah, that's the that's the part that gets me the most.
• 34:53
  The fact that you have sparklers going off next to gas pumps.
• 34:57
  Are you fucking dumb? Are you fucking stupid?
• 35:00
  That is going to cause an explosion.
• 35:02
  How has it not already? Maybe it's part of the snuff
• 35:06
  plan. Maybe they have exploded people
• 35:08
  that way. Oh, and they just keep
• 35:10
  rebuilding. Yeah.
• 35:11
  Did we ever get an angle from the gas station on the on the
• 35:15
  monitoring cameras? Man, it's just you need to go.
• 35:17
  Back and review. Yeah, it's just bad news all
• 35:20
  around. I just cannot understand the
• 35:23
  reasoning. For the owner makes me say that.
• 35:26
  Does he make you give people a sparkler?
• 35:29
  On one point, like since it's also a garage and you're handing
• 35:32
  them in the car, like you're kind of guaranteeing yourself
• 35:36
  repeat business because like, you fucked up my car and now,
• 35:38
  like, you got to fix it. Yeah.
• 35:39
  Then again, it's on you. But then again, these are not
• 35:43
  good people that will make you pay for it.
• 35:44
  So somebody came at me with them and be like, no, thank you.
• 35:47
  Yeah. Nothing.
• 35:49
  Do you have anything else? That was it.
• 35:51
  OK. Yeah, I had that one too.
• 35:53
  That's my first one. The second one is, I like that.
• 35:57
  Like they they've accepted their fate and they're just like gonna
• 36:00
  wait it out. And I think she falls asleep for
• 36:03
  a second and she wakes up and she just sees David watching the
• 36:05
  snuff films. And I just like the idea that
• 36:07
  he's just like, like, this is kind of interesting.
• 36:09
  Here. This is.
• 36:10
  Me falling asleep on the couch and waking up to you putting it
• 36:13
  on something like New York Ripper, Yeah.
• 36:16
  Yeah, man. Or like one of those weird ass
• 36:20
  VHS like shot on film videos that I have in there.
• 36:23
  Necrophiles everybody. My God that's a weird fucking
• 36:26
  movie. My God.
• 36:28
  Yeah. OK.
• 36:30
  So let's rate it. What do you rate this I?
• 36:34
  Might have a 7 1/2. OK, cool.
• 36:36
  I'm giving an 8. Yeah, I I'm glad it held up
• 36:39
  because it had been a long time since I watched it, I think
• 36:41
  since like a rounded game out. So I'm happy, I'm happy.
• 36:45
  It's good. Have we never watched it
• 36:46
  together? We've never watched it together.
• 36:48
  OK, yeah, No, then. I probably haven't seen it since
• 36:50
  high school either. Yeah.
• 36:51
  Because I remember I was asking you like, have you even watched
• 36:54
  this? OK.
• 36:55
  Whenever we were putting this on.
• 36:57
  Yeah. There we go.
• 36:58
  It's a starting average of 7.7. Five.
• 37:00
  Hey, not too bad. Cool.
• 37:03
  All right, Well then, let's get into it.
• 37:05
  So we start off with just just some dropping down the road
• 37:09
  credits that make like a little Vertigo and then shining esque
• 37:14
  pattern and then we're driving down a mountain Rd. like we just
• 37:18
  got a job at the overlook. Yeah, middle of the night.
• 37:22
  It's one of those back roads that's all windy.
• 37:25
  You know what it looks like and. I relate to this moment of us
• 37:29
  driving back from Owensboro and you thinking that you might have
• 37:32
  hit a possum and I had been asleep.
• 37:35
  Yeah, and, you know, like, 'cause that's what happens here.
• 37:38
  He sees a raccoon in the road, swerves around it.
• 37:40
  I did not swerve around this thing.
• 37:42
  I yeah, I completely clipped the Opossum and I, you know, I
• 37:47
  didn't want to do it. It just, like, came out of
• 37:49
  nowhere. They stopped.
• 37:51
  They swear if he makes it off the road, but they don't wreck
• 37:53
  and they start driving again. But the engine is starting to
• 37:55
  make a noise now. Yeah, fucked something up.
• 37:58
  She's like, why are we not on the Interstate?
• 37:59
  And he said, well, there was a traffic jam.
• 38:01
  So I used a shortcut and I took some of those trucker pills.
• 38:04
  That way we could just like, push through the knife.
• 38:06
  And she goes, I had a dream that you tried to kill me.
• 38:09
  Yeah, she's like, but hey, at least you're in it or no.
• 38:11
  And that's why he says like, hey, at least you're dreaming
• 38:13
  about me. That's progress, right?
• 38:15
  And then this woman is a full blown psycho because she is
• 38:19
  cutting an apple with a knife while they're just driving along
• 38:23
  in the car. And here's the thing, I agree
• 38:24
  with her. I don't like to just chomp into
• 38:27
  an apple either. Yeah, I like to cut it up too.
• 38:30
  I prefer the slices. But you know what I do?
• 38:32
  I have my little apple slicer in queer and I cut it up and I put
• 38:36
  in a little zip lock bag for myself.
• 38:38
  Yeah, she didn't think that part had.
• 38:40
  Yeah, she, she has like this little knife and she's, you
• 38:43
  know, cutting the apple and she cuts her finger.
• 38:45
  And she bleeds all over it. Now she's got a vampire apple.
• 38:48
  That's true, yeah. Also, it's like 1:25 AM, so it's
• 38:52
  really late here and they. David's like we're in a bad
• 38:56
  mood. Let's talk about Charlie.
• 38:58
  And she's like, I'm so tired, David.
• 39:01
  Yeah, they're trying to, like, play the radio.
• 39:04
  There's nothing on. And he's like, yeah, I remember
• 39:05
  Charlie, he would Just Dance around and no music at all.
• 39:08
  And she's like David, I'm tired. So they find a gas station that
• 39:14
  has a light on that doesn't seem like it should be open.
• 39:16
  And the guy's like, I was just about to leave, you're in luck.
• 39:20
  So he looks at the engine and. They're like, OK, I'm trying to
• 39:23
  go to Downey right now. Yeah, I know where I'm at cuz
• 39:28
  she's trying to say that they're lost.
• 39:30
  Like I know where we're at. I'm following the map, we're
• 39:32
  adding the downy. Here's the thing.
• 39:33
  And the GPS. Existed at this point.
• 39:35
  Like it wasn't like you had to have an actual like GPS machine,
• 39:39
  yeah, for your car, but it existed.
• 39:42
  And they seem like the type of people that would have it
• 39:44
  because they don't seem crazy comfortable with maps.
• 39:48
  That's true. Well, I mean, he's pretty
• 39:49
  comfortable here and I think that he's actually on to it.
• 39:52
  He's like, I know where we're going.
• 39:53
  I've got the map right here. We're heading to down East right
• 39:54
  over here. But the guy's like signaling
• 39:56
  like, no, it's the other way around.
• 39:58
  You've went too far. Which they should have passed
• 40:01
  signs or something. That's why I don't feel like
• 40:04
  he's as good at navigating as he thinks he is.
• 40:06
  So let me just speak from my perspective of being somebody
• 40:10
  from like a backwoods area. You don't always get signs like
• 40:13
  that in areas like this. You can go long distances before
• 40:16
  you get a sign of like town this way.
• 40:18
  That's more of a highway thing that doesn't really happen on
• 40:20
  back. Roads.
• 40:21
  That's fair. That's a good point.
• 40:23
  So they checked the engine and he's like, yeah, you got your
• 40:27
  belt, It's the blades bent. So they fuck around with it a
• 40:32
  little bit, gets the engine starts like, all right, you're
• 40:34
  good enough. You can make it the 30 miles
• 40:36
  it'll take to get back to Downey.
• 40:37
  They he's offering to do this for free, but David insisted he
• 40:40
  takes some money and he goes well you just buy yourself a $20
• 40:43
  sparkler sends them off to their death.
• 40:46
  But this doesn't work out the way he wants because David is
• 40:50
  being an asshole to Amy. And he's like, I guess I can get
• 40:53
  you to smile if I gave you some fireworks every once in a while.
• 40:56
  She just, like, drops it on the side of the road, somehow
• 40:58
  doesn't cause a forest fire. Yeah.
• 41:01
  If this is in New Mexico, that's a dry area, right?
• 41:03
  It's pretty dry, Yeah, that would be a fire hazard for sure
• 41:06
  right there. But then again, this gas station
• 41:08
  doesn't give a fuck about safety.
• 41:10
  Do you think these are that couple that when they had
• 41:13
  Charlie, they did the gender reveal and they did like the
• 41:16
  fireworks and. Dude, yeah, they did.
• 41:19
  The fireworks they like would have caused a national disaster.
• 41:23
  Yeah. So they're driving just a little
• 41:26
  bit down the road and then. They make it about a mile or
• 41:28
  two. Yeah, car has a full blown
• 41:30
  breakdown now, so they have to pull over to the side of the
• 41:32
  road. And they're just, they're.
• 41:34
  It is so uncomfortable listening to them snipe at each other.
• 41:39
  They hate each other. Honestly she's pretty bad here.
• 41:43
  She like every opportunity she gets, she takes a shot at him
• 41:46
  for fucking up in some way. Or like, I kind of understand
• 41:50
  you take a detour because like, there was a wreck on the
• 41:52
  Interstate. That's that makes sense.
• 41:54
  Like, yeah, it could have been a fuck up, but you know, you don't
• 41:57
  have to like, beat him every single time there's like a
• 41:59
  moment, you know what I mean? I mean he is just he is sniping
• 42:04
  back just as much. I would too.
• 42:05
  But I'm I'm that's what I'm saying.
• 42:07
  It's a toxic dynamic. She drew first blood.
• 42:11
  OK, that doesn't take away from all of the killing, you know
• 42:14
  what I mean? Like.
• 42:15
  The killing, well, you're. You're invoking Rambo.
• 42:19
  Yeah, but they're not doing anything.
• 42:20
  They're, I guess they're doing character assassination of each
• 42:23
  other, if you want to put it that way.
• 42:25
  Yeah, they're, they're they're being toxic to each other,
• 42:27
  though. They're being really, really
• 42:28
  mean. So he's like, yeah, all right,
• 42:31
  well, you could sit in the car if you want to.
• 42:33
  I'm going to go walk all the way back to the gas station because
• 42:35
  that's better than nothing. So she reluctantly tags us along
• 42:39
  and they walked back. They make it there, gas stations
• 42:42
  close. The guy left like he said he was
• 42:44
  going to, but conveniently there is a motel right across the road
• 42:47
  which appears to be open. So they go over there, nobody's
• 42:51
  in there. They hear in the backroom though
• 42:55
  women screaming and it sounds like a really fucked up horror
• 42:59
  movie. Yeah, that's honestly what, Like
• 43:01
  it doesn't sound like somebody's actually back there screaming.
• 43:03
  It sounds like it's coming from ATV, which it is, Yeah.
• 43:06
  And this is where the clerk or the manager, whatever you want
• 43:10
  to call him, this is where he comes out and he's like, oh,
• 43:13
  yeah, no, the mechanic, he just left and they asked if he has a
• 43:18
  way to get a hold of me because I'm not going to do that.
• 43:20
  Which is the right call? Like the guy couldn't do
• 43:22
  anything for you before. Why do you think he's going to
• 43:26
  come back and do anything for you now?
• 43:28
  He fucked your car up even more, actually.
• 43:29
  Yeah, like, why are you trying to call this man back out here
• 43:33
  at 2:00 in the morning? And then he's like, well, you
• 43:36
  can use the pay phone out there to call the other kids.
• 43:40
  What is it, Clarks? Clarks.
• 43:42
  Yeah. It's about.
• 43:43
  It's in a town about 20 miles over.
• 43:45
  The pay phone takes Dimes, and they go through this whole song
• 43:47
  and dance with getting changed and everything.
• 43:49
  And as they're walking out the door, this fucking asshole is
• 43:51
  like, of course they're close, too.
• 43:53
  Yeah. This.
• 43:56
  This little shit, they should've known something was up.
• 43:58
  So again, this moment. Let's bring something else up
• 44:00
  here, another possible solution. AAA exists.
• 44:05
  But are they AAA members? You can sign up when you call.
• 44:09
  I mean, honestly, that's like how they get probably 90% of
• 44:11
  their business. Like I yeah, I'm fucked.
• 44:13
  Come, come help me. I would do it.
• 44:15
  I would do it in this moment here.
• 44:16
  I always cancel it afterwards. You know what I mean?
• 44:18
  Yeah. But now they they're like, fuck
• 44:20
  it. Let's just, the guy's like,
• 44:22
  well, you could stay at the motel overnight and he'll be
• 44:25
  back in the morning. You can get your car fixed up
• 44:26
  first thing in the morning. He's like, I'll give you the
• 44:28
  honeymoon seat. Motel like this doesn't have a
• 44:30
  honeymoon seat. Honestly, there's nothing
• 44:33
  special about it either. Yeah.
• 44:35
  And like, they're like, Nah, that's fine.
• 44:37
  You know, like, I'm going to give it to you anyways.
• 44:38
  Like he really wants them to stay in the honeymoon suite so
• 44:41
  they go in. There Yeah, he he didn't do a
• 44:43
  good job of reading their vibes No, he.
• 44:45
  Did not. Because we were talking about
• 44:47
  this based off of the other snuff films.
• 44:49
  Like what's he telling them? Like there's one where there's
• 44:51
  two guys who are clearly like Bros, you know?
• 44:56
  And I was like, I don't feel like they called them.
• 44:59
  They told them that they were getting the honeymoon suite.
• 45:02
  Probably not, unless it was like a, you know, a gay relationship.
• 45:05
  I don't think it was a gay. Relationship I.
• 45:07
  Mean like they're Bros and like they they look like friends.
• 45:10
  Yeah, they were broing down. They study with each other.
• 45:12
  Yeah, they're broing down. And I'm not saying that gay
• 45:15
  couple can't do that. I'm just saying I wasn't getting
• 45:17
  those 5. Yeah.
• 45:18
  No, you can. You can read the room.
• 45:20
  That was not what was happening there.
• 45:21
  Yeah. So I like I just wonder what he
• 45:25
  uses for all of these other and like there's one where it's like
• 45:28
  3 girls are staying there. Maybe it's like smoking and
• 45:31
  non-smoking, I don't know. That would be.
• 45:33
  Yeah, no, this hotel, there's no way.
• 45:35
  There's no way that you look at this motel and every room is not
• 45:38
  a smoking. Room, you're right.
• 45:39
  They like look at it like smoking or non-smoking.
• 45:41
  You just kind of look around. It's like, yeah, yeah,
• 45:43
  everybody, nobody follows that fucking rule anyways, so they go
• 45:46
  in the room. Oh, and this place is cash only.
• 45:49
  They're not set up for credit cards, but they still need the
• 45:51
  ID for damage. He's so.
• 45:54
  Sketchy that is sketchy that adds a whole other way or two is
• 45:57
  like when you buy the tape you get the ID for the person to
• 46:00
  like. Yeah.
• 46:01
  That's like a nice little attack that's like the fucking like
• 46:05
  special features or like the postcards that they send with
• 46:07
  some of these Blu-ray. Releases.
• 46:09
  Yeah, you can. Get his ID if you were in this
• 46:11
  movie. OK, in the room, nothing special
• 46:15
  about it. It's just a nasty ass room with
• 46:17
  roaches and chip Water's brown. Oh.
• 46:20
  My God, it's so. Gross.
• 46:21
  It is disgusting. It's this is another where
• 46:24
  you're like, well, not brushing my teeth tonight, not showering.
• 46:28
  I'm probably not going to sleep super well.
• 46:31
  They do make a little bit of peace with each other.
• 46:33
  Yeah, they we're it's revealed that they have already divorced.
• 46:40
  They haven't signed the papers yet, but they're in the process
• 46:42
  of everything. Yeah, they're putting on a show.
• 46:44
  They were heading over to her parents house for their
• 46:47
  anniversary celebration and they really don't want to bring the
• 46:49
  mood down by announcing the end of their relationship.
• 46:52
  So they're putting it like putting on a front.
• 46:54
  Yeah, well, it's like the end of their relationship, but also
• 46:57
  because like, they lost their son, so.
• 47:00
  Yeah, did they even tell them about that too?
• 47:02
  Like what if they show up and Charlie's not there Like.
• 47:06
  Where's Charlie? Where's our favorite grandson?
• 47:09
  Yeah, we're focusing on the good stuff today.
• 47:13
  Stairs. We didn't really want to bring
• 47:14
  this up. Yeah, could have been bad.
• 47:18
  My God, this is dark. It got dark.
• 47:20
  Yeah, this. Is really dark it.
• 47:22
  Is. So they get a call on their
• 47:26
  phone and they're like, what? They make a joke.
• 47:28
  They're like room service, but there's no answer at the phone.
• 47:31
  And then there's like loud banging on the doors and there's
• 47:33
  nobody out there. And then there's extra banging
• 47:36
  on the adjoining room door. And David is a psycho now and
• 47:41
  he's trying to open that door. Dude, why?
• 47:44
  Why would you want to welcome that Vadnais on to yourself?
• 47:47
  That was a dumb move right there.
• 47:49
  Yeah. And he's fed up with it.
• 47:51
  Eventually he's like, you know what, fuck it, I'm going to go
• 47:53
  out there and, like, investigate.
• 47:55
  So he like leaves the room. Yeah.
• 47:56
  And well, Amy tries to call the front desk 1st and the phone's
• 47:59
  not on. Yeah.
• 48:00
  So he's like, fuck it, I'll go talk to the manager myself.
• 48:03
  And then he gets there and the clerk's like, well, that's
• 48:05
  interesting because you all are the only guests here.
• 48:08
  But, you know, and, like, he likes to say ominous things and
• 48:12
  he'll be like, but yeah, yeah. It's like, but sometimes we get
• 48:17
  Drifters or college kids who will, like, run in and just look
• 48:20
  for a place to stay for the night.
• 48:22
  Where are these college kids coming from?
• 48:23
  This is not a college town. Like the drifter thing I could
• 48:27
  see because that's been a plot in many a Jack Reacher novel.
• 48:31
  I mean, it just makes sense too, yeah.
• 48:32
  Especially if it's like an abandoned motel and this is like
• 48:35
  a skeety ass place. You're going to get people like
• 48:37
  that. Yeah, makes sense.
• 48:40
  So he's like, I'll investigate into his, like, might want to
• 48:42
  take one of those guns unless they're just for show.
• 48:45
  So he goes like the room and he's like, yeah, it's all quiet.
• 48:48
  When you went out there, they probably saw you and figured
• 48:50
  that you're going to the front desk.
• 48:53
  And she's like, maybe we should just go out to the car.
• 48:56
  And Dave was like, let's just get some sleep.
• 48:58
  We'll just wait this out, it'll be fine.
• 49:00
  And if I get some sleep? He means turn on the static.
• 49:03
  Yes. TV at full volume.
• 49:05
  Yeah, there's nothing on the TV. He's whipping through the
• 49:07
  channel so he sees some VHS tapes and he pops one in.
• 49:12
  And it looks like a really cheap horror film.
• 49:15
  That's what he seems to assume it is at 1st.
• 49:17
  And he's like, they could have at least left us some porn.
• 49:20
  Yeah, it's a honeymoon suite. I feel like that was it would be
• 49:24
  as weird. In the honeymoon suite, it makes
• 49:26
  a little bit more sense. I.
• 49:31
  May not be your thing, Other people sing, that's the thing.
• 49:35
  It's like when they try to have a full service coffee bar but
• 49:40
  you can never fully guess people's full flavors of coffee,
• 49:44
  like their preferences and everything.
• 49:47
  I feel like porn has to be very personalized and just like
• 49:50
  leaving a smattering there is weird and presumptuous in a way
• 49:56
  I don't want to. I don't want to be a manager of
• 49:58
  a hotel that does that. Can you imagine though?
• 50:00
  Like what's the process of curating that like?
• 50:03
  Like and then I feel like I get so in my head of like, what if
• 50:08
  they think this is what I need to and I'm just trying to cater
• 50:11
  to the chip front? Tape, I have to see these
• 50:13
  people, they have to check out that next day and they have to
• 50:15
  look at me and knowing I curated that shit.
• 50:17
  Yes. And then like as a customer I'd
• 50:21
  also be like I need to rewind it to exactly where it was.
• 50:24
  Yeah, you do not know that I watched this tape.
• 50:27
  That's what I watched. Yeah, Yeah.
• 50:30
  It's just a bad idea idea all around.
• 50:32
  That's true. Yeah.
• 50:33
  It's it's awkward. Yeah.
• 50:34
  And yeah, it's very much like the whole if I get this
• 50:38
  pay-per-view, is the name going to show up on the bill?
• 50:41
  That's one of my favorite things.
• 50:43
  There's this one picture of like this old couple and it's like
• 50:46
  old couple of rented charge for all of these porn films that
• 50:51
  they claim they never rented and they like it just keeps zooming
• 50:54
  in on the old man's face and you can just see it's just like this
• 50:57
  dude rented all of these porn videos and lied to his wife
• 51:00
  about it and she brought it up to the news and now it's just
• 51:03
  like, we know what you did, man, Like you've rented a bunch of
• 51:06
  porn and now you're trying to that's.
• 51:08
  The reverse of that one episode of King of the Hill.
• 51:10
  Yeah, yeah. OK.
• 51:13
  So he pops in the tape, he's watching it, and as he's
• 51:17
  watching it, he's like, you know what?
• 51:18
  This is a shitty movie. He pops in another one.
• 51:21
  It's another Stuff film. And then this is when he
• 51:23
  realizes, and I'm glad that they don't spend more time than
• 51:27
  necessary. Like they put in two tapes to
• 51:30
  realize they're both in this room and they're like, well,
• 51:34
  we're probably going to beat murdered.
• 51:35
  I appreciate we cut through the bullshit almost immediately.
• 51:38
  But also, I really like that. That's a good way to like to do
• 51:42
  that. You know, you put in the tapes,
• 51:44
  you're like, oh shit, that's this room right there.
• 51:45
  That's scary. Because like, OK, you do 1.
• 51:48
  And like, my head immediately would be like, oh, these guys
• 51:52
  are amateur film makers. They just wanted to see what
• 51:55
  they put together. Yeah, they like horror movies.
• 51:58
  That's what I would think if I had one.
• 51:59
  Yeah. But if I had two, I'd be like,
• 52:02
  oh, these are real. At the same time, they could be
• 52:04
  like, all right, the people that like run this hotel, they can't
• 52:08
  afford the movies of their own, so they make their own movies.
• 52:10
  And they're big horror nerds, so they just make exclusively
• 52:13
  horror movies in this one. Room no, because if they can
• 52:15
  afford the tapes that they need to like, film all of this and
• 52:19
  cut it together, they could just as easily have a tape recording
• 52:22
  like ATV broadcast of a movie. OK, that's true.
• 52:25
  That's true. Anyways, it's bad news.
• 52:28
  Yes, either way, yeah. And so they're like, well, OK,
• 52:32
  we're we're gonna, we need to figure out what we're gonna do.
• 52:35
  And just then the power starts going on and off.
• 52:39
  We see somebody hiding in the bathroom.
• 52:41
  They don't see it. So it ultimately has no payoff.
• 52:43
  Yeah, mass to it appears, Yeah. And they realize that they put
• 52:47
  the movies there on purpose to get them freaked out.
• 52:51
  They're going to anticipate that.
• 52:52
  They're going to try and run. Let's see if we can sneak out
• 52:55
  this bathroom window. No, it's all nailed up.
• 52:58
  Also, here's your vampire apple on the counter.
• 53:00
  You left that in the car because you're not going to eat your own
• 53:03
  blood. Although that has to be the most
• 53:06
  iron rich apple in the world. Yeah, it.
• 53:08
  Does I mean it kind of fits too because like vampire imagery
• 53:12
  usually has an apple like Twilight.
• 53:14
  Like, yes, twilight, yes, twilight.
• 53:17
  So. They're going.
• 53:18
  To run to the trees, yeah. They leave the.
• 53:20
  They're going to do Jennifer's body through the trees, Yeah.
• 53:25
  They run towards the road, but a mask man comes from the
• 53:29
  darkness. He just emerges.
• 53:30
  He does it all like Michael Myersy, like no writing.
• 53:34
  He's just like. Yeah, Yep, just waits them right
• 53:37
  back into the room. And then they, well, cuz then
• 53:39
  they try to run towards where the front desk is.
• 53:41
  Another killer there. Oh, we're gonna turn this third
• 53:43
  direction. Somebody else there.
• 53:44
  OK, I guess we're gonna we're gonna go into the back into the
• 53:48
  motel room. In the process, drop their cell
• 53:50
  phone and one of the killer steps on and smashes it.
• 53:53
  Yeah, which was kind of a moot point anyway because the cell
• 53:56
  wasn't really getting good signal.
• 53:57
  Yeah. So they decide to reinvestigate,
• 54:03
  revisit that bathroom door idea or that bathroom window idea,
• 54:07
  and somebody's outside there too, so that's not good.
• 54:10
  David's plan is that he's going to run for the payphone and Amy
• 54:14
  is going to distract them by acting like she's going to try
• 54:16
  and get out that bathroom window, which seems risky for
• 54:20
  both of them. Yeah, but then again, he's got a
• 54:22
  good point. You got to do something.
• 54:23
  If you stay here, you're going to die.
• 54:25
  Yes. So yeah, you got to get moving
• 54:27
  and. This is where we get that really
• 54:29
  cool shot of like the reflection of him running to the phone
• 54:32
  booth. It's I really enjoy this shot.
• 54:35
  Yeah, it's really cool. He makes it there and he makes
• 54:39
  the call. How do you wire a phone to do
• 54:42
  this? That's a great question, yeah.
• 54:45
  I I fully believe this can be done.
• 54:47
  Yeah, I'm sure he can. I just.
• 54:48
  Want to know how it's just like a prop phone or?
• 54:50
  Something, yeah. But like he he gets on the
• 54:52
  phone, he makes the call to a 9/1. 11 and it seems legit at
• 54:55
  first, if you ignore the fact that the voice sounds eerily
• 54:58
  like like the manager. Yeah, I demoted him.
• 55:04
  And you know, he's like, I need the address.
• 55:07
  And he's like, I don't know the address.
• 55:08
  It's the Mountain Pike Inn or something like that.
• 55:11
  I forget what it was called. I never wrote it down.
• 55:13
  And to get the operators like we don't have the address.
• 55:17
  You should be paying more attention, Mr. Fox.
• 55:19
  What are you doing? Running out there alone in the
• 55:22
  dark seems like a bad idea. Whoa.
• 55:24
  The computer agrees. Bad idea.
• 55:27
  Get out of there. Dude, threat protection.
• 55:28
  That's what that says. Yeah, which the virus in
• 55:32
  question here is a car coming right at the phone booth.
• 55:35
  He gets out just in time and smashes the phone booth and the
• 55:38
  car drives him right back. Not like picks him up and drives
• 55:41
  him there. Which of that would be
• 55:43
  hilarious? Like get in man.
• 55:44
  Like the early word protocol prototype.
• 55:49
  No, he it chases him back to his room.
• 55:52
  Yeah, so they they're they, they make, they're panicking, they.
• 55:56
  Kiss and like I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 55:57
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I really want to see what
• 56:00
  happens after this movie if they realize it was just the
• 56:03
  adrenaline was making them a little horny.
• 56:06
  This could be some kind of really fucked up therapy right
• 56:09
  here. Like we're gonna get couples
• 56:10
  back together. Yes they need to start getting
• 56:13
  into like life or death situation like they just keep
• 56:15
  that's my other dream sequel 2 dream sequels. 1 is the Rusty
• 56:18
  Nail crossover, the other is this couple and the spin off
• 56:22
  sequel, right. They keep getting into life or
• 56:26
  death situations instead of going to couples counseling.
• 56:29
  Yeah. Yeah, just like this is our life
• 56:31
  now we gotta. Do yeah.
• 56:32
  Like this work? Oh my God.
• 56:33
  One of the like later sequels has like Statham or something in
• 56:37
  it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 56:39
  OK, so either way, they're they realize that they need to get
• 56:43
  some sort of a weapon. There's nothing in there.
• 56:45
  But these people are resourceful.
• 56:47
  This is why you want to root for this couple because what does
• 56:49
  Luke Wilson do? He punches a mirror not out of
• 56:52
  frustration, but so he can make a mirror.
• 56:54
  Out of necessity, yes. And he's recognizing it's
• 56:59
  getting close to daylight. Yeah.
• 57:00
  These people are going to want this to be done soon.
• 57:02
  So they decide they're just going to barricade themselves in
• 57:05
  there and wait for them to come in there to defend themselves.
• 57:08
  So they're in a little corner, and this is where suddenly, Amy
• 57:13
  wakes up by herself. And he's just watching the
• 57:15
  tapes. He's like.
• 57:17
  Crouched in front of the TV. You know, like when you're 8
• 57:19
  years old and you sneak out, you're supposed to be in bed but
• 57:22
  you're watching TV. In the living room, it's the
• 57:24
  cover of Poltergeist. Like the girl.
• 57:25
  It's like with the TV, they're like, Oh yeah, he's she's like,
• 57:31
  why are you watching the tapes for?
• 57:32
  He's like, he's like. And I'm.
• 57:35
  Not I'm not even joking or dumbing down his dialogue.
• 57:39
  He's like, I'm studying to see what went wrong with all of
• 57:42
  these other people. They were all idiots.
• 57:45
  He calls them idiots. Fucking dummies over here.
• 57:49
  Yeah, he's like. He's like, they just panic and
• 57:53
  they freak out. And what you have to realize is
• 57:55
  that when the killers get bored, somebody just pops out from the
• 57:59
  bathroom. Yeah, he's like this guy, every
• 58:01
  single movie. He just kind of emerges from
• 58:03
  here somewhere. And see, I think he's being a
• 58:05
  little bit unfair to all of these other people because it
• 58:08
  seems like it moved a lot faster for the rest of them.
• 58:11
  It did. And that's another thing.
• 58:13
  Like is it taking longer for these people because they're
• 58:16
  better at this than them, or like what?
• 58:19
  I don't. I don't.
• 58:20
  I don't know. That's why I wish we had seen a
• 58:21
  little bit more progression in the tapes, like in the styles of
• 58:24
  how they're doing it, so that way we can.
• 58:26
  So just like the kill moments? Yeah, like they're honing in on
• 58:29
  their their skills. That would have been
• 58:31
  interesting. The one that we did get to see
• 58:33
  the most of that was like the two Bros broing down.
• 58:36
  Yeah, that was like they were just chilling in the room and
• 58:38
  then eventually shit started happening.
• 58:40
  Yes. And either way, they're they
• 58:43
  realized that the bathroom is going to be an issue.
• 58:45
  So he goes in there and he moves the shower curtain up something
• 58:48
  to cover the vent. That's smart.
• 58:50
  In the in the shower, Yeah. Blocking all the cameras, that
• 58:53
  way they can't be watched. And then as he's jumping down
• 58:57
  from the bathtub, he hears a hollow sound.
• 59:00
  Oh, there's a trap door under the rug in the bathroom.
• 59:03
  Now, here is the move where I'm going to say, what else do you
• 59:07
  do? Because it's risky to go into
• 59:09
  this tunnel because you could run into the killers, but you
• 59:11
  also know they're waiting to get you.
• 59:13
  Outside. Yeah outside.
• 59:14
  So this is one of those like Hail Marys.
• 59:17
  I equate it to like the final round in trivia at the bar cuz
• 59:22
  the. Withdraw your points.
• 59:23
  Yeah, you wager all of your points if you are not already in
• 59:26
  the lead. Yeah, you got to wager all of
• 59:28
  your points because if you lose them, well, you weren't winning
• 59:31
  anyway. But if you gain them, you have a
• 59:33
  chance to win. So that's what this is.
• 59:35
  We're not calculating this shit, we're wagering.
• 59:37
  Everything. Yes, All in, all in.
• 59:40
  Yeah, So they go into the tunnel.
• 59:44
  It's a tunnel. It's like a dirt tunnel, and
• 59:47
  it's really claustrophobic. It's God.
• 59:50
  I don't know if I'd be able to do this.
• 59:52
  Hold on though, hold on. There's something we need to
• 59:55
  talk about before it. OK?
• 59:57
  Cuz they they look at it thinking about it, but first the
• 1:00:01
  semi pulls up outside. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:00:03
  Cuz we need to talk about this guy for a second.
• 1:00:04
  True, true. And they're like, well, maybe
• 1:00:09
  he's, he's somebody that can help.
• 1:00:11
  And they're like, well, maybe he's not a friendly.
• 1:00:13
  And so they're. Yeah.
• 1:00:14
  So they're debating it back and forth.
• 1:00:16
  And then they see one of the killers coming for him.
• 1:00:18
  And they're like, oh, OK, no, we need to warn him so that way he
• 1:00:20
  doesn't get murdered and also so he can save us.
• 1:00:22
  And they're like shouting and banging on the window and the
• 1:00:24
  killer's coming up behind him. And then the clerks there was
• 1:00:26
  like, oh, here's your delivery. Yeah.
• 1:00:28
  The guy, like it'd be funny. He's just like, hey, I look
• 1:00:30
  forward to seeing y'all. Yeah, can't wait for yours.
• 1:00:33
  Am I gonna be in this one? I can't.
• 1:00:35
  See. You, yeah.
• 1:00:37
  Do I get a discount on that tape?
• 1:00:38
  Yeah. So this is when they decide, OK,
• 1:00:42
  our only chance is to go down this trapdoor and they're going
• 1:00:44
  through long passage. They are crawling on their hands
• 1:00:47
  and knees. So it's uncomfortable, it's
• 1:00:49
  painful, it's claustrophobic. Amy is panicking.
• 1:00:53
  Fully relate. And then they have to crawl
• 1:00:54
  through. Rats.
• 1:00:55
  Yeah, what I could best describe as a puddle of rats.
• 1:01:00
  I I would listen to that puddle of mud cover bands.
• 1:01:05
  Yeah, yeah. Oh, man, it's nasty.
• 1:01:07
  But they make it through and they find a ladder.
• 1:01:10
  They climb all the way up and there's a door.
• 1:01:13
  They open it up and they just see a bunch of monitors.
• 1:01:16
  Yeah. And it's playing all kinds of.
• 1:01:17
  Other films, I get what they call it in reality TV.
• 1:01:20
  It's like Video Island or something like.
• 1:01:22
  That yeah, something. Like that, that's kind of the
• 1:01:24
  situation that they have set up in there there's a phone, so Amy
• 1:01:28
  calls 911. However, the the trio of killers
• 1:01:33
  bursts in and they. They interrupt.
• 1:01:36
  Yeah, they interrupt, so Amy and David have hopped back in the
• 1:01:40
  tunnel, but Amy left the phone up.
• 1:01:43
  OK I was thinking like smart but also dumb because they know you
• 1:01:47
  were there but also smart. That gives the operator enough
• 1:01:51
  time to track your location. Yeah, it's a but this is how
• 1:01:55
  they figure out that they know about the tunnels.
• 1:01:57
  So. So the cleric sends the killers
• 1:02:00
  into the tunnels to get them. This is scary right here.
• 1:02:02
  He's like, you go down this one, you go down the other one.
• 1:02:04
  The idea that you could be like sandwiched by these two is
• 1:02:08
  scary, but there's like a diverging path.
• 1:02:10
  There's like a fork in the tunnel.
• 1:02:12
  And I don't know why they didn't consider that as a possibility
• 1:02:15
  because there's not a lot of places for this fork in the
• 1:02:18
  tunnel to really. And there's three of.
• 1:02:20
  Them. They couldn't cut them off on
• 1:02:21
  all ends. There, Yeah, but they didn't.
• 1:02:23
  And this is how Amy and David end up in the gas station.
• 1:02:26
  And they do the smart thing that I was yelling at them to do when
• 1:02:29
  they were in Video Island, which was cover the trapdoor and block
• 1:02:33
  the front door of the gas station.
• 1:02:35
  Yeah, but apparently this, it's like a whole fucking desk or
• 1:02:38
  something. And this is like the lightest
• 1:02:40
  desk ever, apparently. Or the killer really isn't
• 1:02:44
  Michael Myers type. He's gotta be in his Himbo era.
• 1:02:46
  He's gotta be because like, he's able to open the door and lift
• 1:02:50
  up this fucking thing like it's nothing.
• 1:02:52
  I feel like if I was in a tunnel, an underground tunnel, I
• 1:02:55
  would probably struggle to even get the trap door open.
• 1:02:57
  I actually like that. It's either that or you're using
• 1:03:00
  all that adrenaline. It's like the mother lifting the
• 1:03:02
  car to save her baby strength. I guess.
• 1:03:06
  But anyway, they're sitting there in the gas station,
• 1:03:08
  they're crying. She is having this moment where
• 1:03:11
  she feels like she's going to die.
• 1:03:13
  So she's atoning for all her sins.
• 1:03:14
  She's like, it's my fault Charlie's dead.
• 1:03:17
  And David's like, no, you've got to stop blaming yourself here.
• 1:03:21
  And I'll stop blaming you too, because if we make it out of
• 1:03:23
  this, we'll act like nothing happened.
• 1:03:27
  But as they're having this little conversation, the cop
• 1:03:30
  arrives and it's a real 1. Yes, this is an actual sheriff.
• 1:03:35
  He asked the clerk if they've had any visitors tonight.
• 1:03:39
  And then the clerk goes, no, this is our slow season.
• 1:03:41
  And he goes, well, what happened over there with the destroyed
• 1:03:44
  phone booth and upturned picnic tables and he's like college
• 1:03:49
  kids. So that means Travis was out
• 1:03:52
  there flipping the tables drunk with his fraternity brothers.
• 1:03:55
  You can say it's bullshit, but I am living.
• 1:03:58
  Proof it is that. Thing is, what drunk college
• 1:03:59
  kids? Do fact it is.
• 1:04:03
  And the clerks like, yeah, that happened a while ago.
• 1:04:06
  I just haven't had time to fix it.
• 1:04:07
  And the sheriff goes because you're so busy with all your
• 1:04:09
  guests. This guys on it.
• 1:04:12
  I loved the sheriff for the first half of his appearance.
• 1:04:15
  Yeah, yeah. He was like, I think he was
• 1:04:17
  right in the side. I think he had it under control
• 1:04:19
  a little bit too much. Yeah, he was like, oh, this
• 1:04:21
  guy's a dummy. Yeah, they he's like, well, I
• 1:04:24
  guess I need to investigate the rooms.
• 1:04:26
  And he starts to open the different rooms.
• 1:04:28
  Room 3. Yeah, and room there and the
• 1:04:31
  clerk goes, oh, I got the wrong set of keys.
• 1:04:34
  Let me go check. Let me go swap out my keys.
• 1:04:37
  And when he does that, the door opens for the sheriff on his
• 1:04:40
  own. So he should be suspicious.
• 1:04:42
  Yeah. And the lights aren't working.
• 1:04:45
  He goes into the bathroom, and this is where he finds the trap
• 1:04:48
  door, goes back out into the main part of the room.
• 1:04:51
  And there's this stuff film playing.
• 1:04:52
  And he's like, OK, well I gotta do cop shit.
• 1:04:56
  It's got like, it's gun drawn now.
• 1:04:57
  He walks out and they notice like, oh shit.
• 1:04:59
  Like the guy is freaked out. He's seen something we need to
• 1:05:02
  go out there and get. Him, yeah.
• 1:05:03
  And at the same time, somebody's trying to come in through the
• 1:05:05
  gas station, so it's like it's a good time for us to exit anyway.
• 1:05:08
  So they run out to the sheriff and he's about to shoot them,
• 1:05:11
  and they're like, no, no, they're trying to kill us, too.
• 1:05:13
  And he's like, get in, get in the car.
• 1:05:16
  And he doesn't ever, at any point get on this radio.
• 1:05:20
  Ever. No, no, no, he checks the
• 1:05:22
  radio's cut. He doesn't even have like his
• 1:05:25
  little hip radio though. Yeah, I guess you just didn't
• 1:05:27
  have it with him. But the one inside the cop car
• 1:05:30
  is cut. Like like while he was doing
• 1:05:32
  that somebody got in his car and fucked it all up because he
• 1:05:34
  can't even start the car. Anymore.
• 1:05:35
  Yeah, the battery line has been cut.
• 1:05:38
  I don't know cars. It's the thing that makes it
• 1:05:40
  car. Car no go.
• 1:05:43
  Car no go. Anymore.
• 1:05:44
  Yeah, so. He gets out, he's popping the
• 1:05:47
  hood to check out. That's a bad move, man.
• 1:05:50
  You should know. Yeah, never do that.
• 1:05:52
  He pops the hood and then as he does that a course sinks up
• 1:05:56
  behind him and stabs him. Yep, he's dead.
• 1:05:58
  Yep. So of course they're back in
• 1:06:01
  their fucking room. They use a towel rod to bust the
• 1:06:05
  window in the bathroom and they leave a fake trail.
• 1:06:08
  They tear Amy's shirt so it looks like she manages to
• 1:06:11
  squeeze through and he puts her up in the attic.
• 1:06:16
  Yeah, and they notice like, there's like a little crawl
• 1:06:18
  space up there. So she's gonna hide up there and
• 1:06:21
  he's gonna like, hold his own, I guess.
• 1:06:24
  Yes, he he's gonna, he is gonna run to the office for the other
• 1:06:29
  6 shooter that was over the doorway.
• 1:06:33
  And he thinks that they're gonna be distracted enough by that
• 1:06:36
  trail to be trying to figure out where they went.
• 1:06:38
  But just kidding. They had somebody post it out
• 1:06:41
  the front door too. Yeah.
• 1:06:42
  And he's immediately stabbed. Yep.
• 1:06:43
  Yep. Like a lot.
• 1:06:44
  Yeah, a lot like he's probably gonna die, you would think.
• 1:06:48
  Yeah, and they're like putting a camera in his face as this is
• 1:06:51
  happening. Yeah, which is really just rude.
• 1:06:54
  And they go search for Amy. Yep, and we now get a little
• 1:06:58
  time cut. It's daytime, it's morning.
• 1:07:01
  Amy climbs down. Wish we had had.
• 1:07:06
  Yeah, that would have been funny.
• 1:07:08
  She hops down and as soon as she hops down, there was a guy
• 1:07:11
  waiting for. Her.
• 1:07:14
  In my head, I have this whole cannon of the two killer guys,
• 1:07:18
  one is the mechanic. We don't know who this third
• 1:07:19
  person is, but he's just a guy and they don't actually like the
• 1:07:24
  clerk, but they just listen to him when he's around that they
• 1:07:27
  know that they could actually like.
• 1:07:28
  He's just the one selling the tapes.
• 1:07:30
  They figured they could take that over if they had to.
• 1:07:33
  He's the financer, he's the producer, they're the movie
• 1:07:36
  makers. Yeah, they just, they don't want
• 1:07:37
  to deal with him, but they have to deal with his bullshit.
• 1:07:40
  So I feel like they spent like 10 minutes pretending to look
• 1:07:43
  for Amy, and they're like, all right, I'm gonna wait in the
• 1:07:45
  bathroom because she'll eventually show up and this is
• 1:07:48
  awesome. What?
• 1:07:48
  I mean, like, why didn't they do anything else, though?
• 1:07:51
  Like, why didn't they try? If they think she's gonna come
• 1:07:53
  back, why didn't they check the ceiling?
• 1:07:55
  I don't know. Well, in in one of the tapes
• 1:07:58
  that you get to see, like when they're done killing a guy, they
• 1:08:01
  just kind of like go like one of the dudes just like goes to the
• 1:08:03
  bed and lays down. I think they just like
• 1:08:05
  decompress. After all.
• 1:08:06
  It's like that's a long ass night of killing and making a
• 1:08:09
  movie. I'm tired.
• 1:08:10
  Yeah, So I just, I don't know, this is weird.
• 1:08:13
  She manages to run from this killer.
• 1:08:16
  There's another one that's outside too.
• 1:08:18
  She gets into a car, manages to get it to start.
• 1:08:21
  This other killer comes up and he does a Michael Myers on her
• 1:08:24
  where he's like on the roof of the car reaching in, trying to
• 1:08:27
  stab her. And she crashes into the motel,
• 1:08:31
  pins the mechanic against the wall, and the guy that was
• 1:08:34
  hanging through the sunroof dies because he's not actually
• 1:08:38
  Michael Myers. Yeah, that's not an ideal place
• 1:08:40
  to be in a car crash. Yeah, that is the opposite of
• 1:08:43
  what all of the safety regulations say you should do to
• 1:08:46
  be safe in a car crash. And the car hit the well, the
• 1:08:50
  dude that got hit by the car and depending against the wall his
• 1:08:53
  mask fell off and it's revealed that it's the mechanic.
• 1:08:57
  I feel like I already said it was the mechanic.
• 1:08:58
  Did you? Oh well, you got to mention the
• 1:09:00
  real because it's so dramatic. Is it?
• 1:09:03
  Yeah, the way it is. Like, Can you believe it?
• 1:09:06
  It was him. We figured out it was him a
• 1:09:08
  while ago. No, you didn't.
• 1:09:10
  We knew he was part of it. You can suspect that, but it's
• 1:09:13
  revealed here. It looked like him in one of the
• 1:09:16
  tapes even though whatever. Yeah, whatever.
• 1:09:20
  Dead. So she gets out and she tries to
• 1:09:24
  run into the office to get the gun.
• 1:09:27
  She does run in there, and she goes into video Island, covers
• 1:09:31
  that trapdoor and is trying to call 911 again.
• 1:09:34
  They're like, we already sent somebody out.
• 1:09:35
  She goes, he's dead. Do you notice that you didn't
• 1:09:37
  come back? He's dead.
• 1:09:37
  Yeah. They're like, OK.
• 1:09:38
  Fine, fine, we'll send somebody else.
• 1:09:41
  And she grabs a mallet. She tries to grab the other gun,
• 1:09:44
  but while she's reaching for it, oh, she didn't actually make the
• 1:09:47
  call yet. We're liars.
• 1:09:49
  She didn't make the call yet. So she goes into the office, she
• 1:09:53
  goes in a video aisle and tries to cover the trapdoor and then
• 1:09:56
  she's no hold on and she's looking around for weapons.
• 1:09:59
  She finds a mallet and then she also tries to reach for that 6
• 1:10:02
  shooter over the door. And as she's doing it, the clerk
• 1:10:05
  comes in and is choking her. So they're having this whole
• 1:10:08
  fight, right? And he will get to points where
• 1:10:11
  he's choking her and then she throws him off.
• 1:10:14
  And at one point he has her almost dead and he's ready to
• 1:10:19
  ready to kill her. And she ends up jumping up and
• 1:10:23
  she runs. She gets the gun and she shoots
• 1:10:25
  him a bunch and she walks out. David is still alive.
• 1:10:30
  How I am? Shocked.
• 1:10:34
  Yeah, Bravo. So this is where she goes back
• 1:10:36
  in. She gets the phone cable from
• 1:10:39
  the clerk's pocket. He had pulled it and was using
• 1:10:42
  that to try to strangle her. Yeah.
• 1:10:44
  So she gets that cable, plugs in the phone, calls 91.
• 1:10:46
  And this is where they say, oh, somebody already responded.
• 1:10:50
  And she was like, yeah, he died like a while ago, like four or
• 1:10:54
  five hours ago. Yeah, and she goes back out
• 1:10:57
  there and she is just kind of holding David and the camera
• 1:11:02
  pans out and we don't see anything else.
• 1:11:04
  Yeah, You're left to just kind of assume what happened.
• 1:11:06
  Although we did have an alternate opening to this movie,
• 1:11:10
  which basically starts off from this point.
• 1:11:12
  It's just showing the aftermath with all the cops and paramedics
• 1:11:15
  there. Just.
• 1:11:17
  Yeah, the scene, like as it is, we don't see any of our
• 1:11:21
  characters, though, so we don't we still don't have confirmation
• 1:11:24
  about what happened. Nope.
• 1:11:26
  That's how the movie ends. Yeah, that's how it ends.
• 1:11:29
  I think I'm still going to keep it a 7.5.
• 1:11:31
  I would bump it higher if like the last little bit was just a
• 1:11:36
  little bit tighter. OK, yeah, it kind of does lose a
• 1:11:39
  little bit of its team there at the end, but I'm going to keep
• 1:11:42
  it as an 8. For me, I I like this movie.
• 1:11:45
  It's a good tense ride, even if the ending isn't 100%
• 1:11:49
  satisfying. I would have been really mad if
• 1:11:52
  David did die because like, I feel like we can't.
• 1:11:56
  Have our sequel of their adrenaline marriage therapy.
• 1:11:58
  Well, yeah, there's that. But also just after everything,
• 1:12:02
  like having him die, I would have felt bad.
• 1:12:05
  You know, I wonder if he did die in like an original ending and
• 1:12:09
  they did like a test screening and they're like, OK, fine,
• 1:12:11
  we'll make him live, whatever. And this is what I'm gonna say
• 1:12:14
  that I think Luke could do Wedding Crashers, but I don't
• 1:12:19
  think Owen could do vacancy. You don't think Owen can do
• 1:12:22
  vacancy? I think Owen actually could pull
• 1:12:23
  this one off. He's got serious acting chops.
• 1:12:30
  I don't know. No, I'll, I'll give it to you.
• 1:12:31
  Like there are roles that Luke can do that one cannot do.
• 1:12:35
  But I think. And I think there are plenty
• 1:12:37
  that Owen could do that Luke couldn't do.
• 1:12:39
  Like, I, I think it goes both ways.
• 1:12:40
  Both ways. Yeah.
• 1:12:42
  But I I don't see Owen Wilson in this one.
• 1:12:45
  OK. Yeah, I think it is better
• 1:12:51
  suited for Luke if I had to pick between them.
• 1:12:53
  Yeah, Yeah, I can agree with that.
• 1:12:56
  OK. Hell yeah.
• 1:12:59
  And that's the rule of our game is that you can't just say you
• 1:13:02
  have to give scenarios where they can swap or can't swap.
• 1:13:06
  Yeah, exactly. You have to go both ways.
• 1:13:07
  With them, yeah. Talia the first half of this
• 1:13:12
  movie. She was hangry, as was Zoe.
• 1:13:17
  Yeah, as were all of them. It was.
• 1:13:19
  It was really aggressive. It was, yeah.
• 1:13:21
  It was kind of a frightening time to be in this house, but
• 1:13:25
  they got fed and then they were all sleepy and cuddly after the
• 1:13:27
  fact. I think Talia, she, she doesn't
• 1:13:31
  really care for hotels. She's been in them before.
• 1:13:35
  Not her favorite. She can't run around to her
• 1:13:38
  heart's content and she's not allowed to bark.
• 1:13:41
  So I think that this would be stressful for her because she's
• 1:13:45
  not supposed to bark in here. But we got people knocking on
• 1:13:47
  doors and that's not allowed ever.
• 1:13:49
  Yeah, you like, how can you not bark at something like that?
• 1:13:52
  So this is stressful. This is a stressful movie for
• 1:13:54
  her. I think she's going to give this
• 1:13:55
  A7, OK. I can agree with that.
• 1:13:58
  Yeah, she, she put up like a wall too.
• 1:14:01
  She didn't want to see that shit.
• 1:14:02
  She was like, I'm done with this.
• 1:14:04
  Yeah, she's like, I'm over all of this right now.
• 1:14:06
  OK, who is Zoe's ultimate warrior?
• 1:14:13
  Would it be Amy because of that Apple?
• 1:14:20
  I think I think it would be Amy because of dropping from the
• 1:14:26
  ceiling when it's morning time. Cuz.
• 1:14:28
  She jumps on us from the top of the headboard when she thinks
• 1:14:32
  it's breakfast time. You know that's true.
• 1:14:34
  Like whenever it's morning. So it's like, all right, I'm
• 1:14:36
  coming down, y'all all right. People's Elbow.
• 1:14:40
  Yeah, OK. Who'd you relate to?
• 1:14:45
  I related to Amy on the serious note because I'm not a person
• 1:14:50
  that likes to talk about my grief, but on a less serious
• 1:14:52
  note because I would probably also fall asleep in this
• 1:14:55
  scenario because when I'm sleepy, I'm sleepy and my body
• 1:14:57
  doesn't say no. OK, I can relate to David and
• 1:15:03
  like the trying to bring up good things to cheer up a mood type
• 1:15:07
  thing right there. I I understood where he was
• 1:15:10
  coming from, how he was trying to handle the bad vibes.
• 1:15:13
  But you know, not always an audience for that when that
• 1:15:17
  happens and I can understand that, you know, like I I got
• 1:15:21
  where he was coming from with the also I related to the the
• 1:15:25
  manager like if I it was a good slow night for me, I'd go into
• 1:15:28
  the backroom and I'd play some probably like two other people
• 1:15:32
  horrific shit. If they overheard what I was
• 1:15:34
  watching, I'd. Be like, don't pay attention to
• 1:15:37
  what you're hearing in the backroom.
• 1:15:38
  It's. Fine, it's a scary movie, I
• 1:15:40
  promise, not a snuff film. So you say.
• 1:15:45
  OK, all right, now let's do Dream sequel, let's expand.
• 1:15:49
  Or do we need to do we need to. I think we did make it, yeah.
• 1:15:53
  I mean, it's a crossover from Joyride.
• 1:15:55
  Yeah. And we got rusty.
• 1:15:57
  Now he's. He is not about to be killed.
• 1:16:02
  He is about to do some horrific shit to them.
• 1:16:06
  Does he record it? Does he take over their?
• 1:16:08
  Absolutely. Business yeah like the guy
• 1:16:11
  before like the guy like if it was rusty know that showed up
• 1:16:14
  there and picking up the boxes like oh am I going to be in this
• 1:16:17
  thing I think the idea of him being in the movie made him want
• 1:16:20
  to get into the movie making business yeah so he's like fine
• 1:16:23
  I'll you. Got his first taste to stardom.
• 1:16:25
  Got my taste of success. I think I'm gonna you know,
• 1:16:27
  chase this right here. I have potential to be a real
• 1:16:29
  some film star, so that's what he does.
• 1:16:32
  He sets out to be a like, he's the guy that stars, directs,
• 1:16:36
  writes. Yes, he does.
• 1:16:37
  Produces, does. Everything does editing.
• 1:16:40
  Yeah, it's all him. Yeah, he's gotta pick up because
• 1:16:43
  the guy that was making this movie is now dead.
• 1:16:46
  Yeah, it's gotta take over. All right, OK.
• 1:16:53
  OK. I think what would Don do?
• 1:16:56
  What would Don do first of all? I would like to see actually Vin
• 1:17:02
  Diesel in this situation. How would Don handle this I.
• 1:17:05
  Think we would never the problem is we would never get into the
• 1:17:10
  situation because if his car breaks down he is gonna know how
• 1:17:13
  to fix it. I think this is just one where
• 1:17:15
  like it ends before it even starts.
• 1:17:18
  Also I gotta just say like he wouldn't, him and Letty wouldn't
• 1:17:22
  be attached to a kid because they got a different kid every
• 1:17:24
  fucking movie. Yeah, that's true.
• 1:17:26
  They're not attached to any single child.
• 1:17:28
  Little Brian changes yeah, to the movies.
• 1:17:30
  So they'd be like, literally just give us any child that's
• 1:17:33
  approximately the right age. I was like, remember Brian?
• 1:17:38
  I mean Charlie? Who the fuck was that kid?
• 1:17:40
  Again, because the first baby didn't have a name for the first
• 1:17:42
  few months of its life. So we can just change baby.
• 1:17:44
  So true. Yeah, they didn't even give a
• 1:17:47
  fuck about that baby. Yeah, and Dom would know how to
• 1:17:52
  fix a car. Yeah, it's not.
• 1:17:54
  I mean, yeah, like it that. That's not a blade bent,
• 1:17:58
  motherfucker. Blades don't bend.
• 1:18:00
  Yeah, like they would. Yeah, this would just this is
• 1:18:03
  one that it would it's a non starter for them.
• 1:18:05
  Yeah, it's just this movie doesn't happen.
• 1:18:07
  With. These characters here, it's like
• 1:18:09
  they're the antithesis to all of these people here.
• 1:18:12
  This is the other side of the Fast and the Furious movies, if
• 1:18:15
  you've got people who aren't good at cards.
• 1:18:17
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah, OK, cool.
• 1:18:19
  All right. Well, I guess we should do our
• 1:18:21
  reviews now. Do do we not want to do a new
• 1:18:23
  tagline? Oh, new tagline, but you had the
• 1:18:26
  perfect one. OK, do you want to spear
• 1:18:27
  Halloween it then? Like did you think about it at
• 1:18:29
  any? Yeah, you can turn in your key
• 1:18:32
  card anytime you like, but you cannot depart.
• 1:18:35
  Yes, that is it. Holy shit that is perfect for
• 1:18:40
  this right here. God that is amazing.
• 1:18:43
  Thank you. OK cool, now let's get to some
• 1:18:47
  reviews. OK so I grabbed us an IMDb
• 1:18:51
  review. I thought you might like it.
• 1:18:54
  I couldn't tell for sure. So it's a one out 10 titled
• 1:18:57
  Vacancy. The space between the film
• 1:18:58
  makers ears. Damn that was brutal right
• 1:19:03
  there. Cutting and this vile American
• 1:19:07
  cinema atrocity is yet another excuse to show deranged or
• 1:19:11
  degrading cruelty as some sort of Friday night popcorn fun
• 1:19:14
  experience for impressionable teens to be further desensitized
• 1:19:18
  to misogynist movie brutality. Is Kate Beckinsale or Luke
• 1:19:22
  Wilson so poor that they need to make this film?
• 1:19:26
  What is it with Hollywood film makers and this torture porn
• 1:19:30
  film? Vacancy is yet again a riff on
• 1:19:33
  Psycho, but with pitiless, pitiless violence snuff theme
• 1:19:37
  added. The DVD actually has the full
• 1:19:40
  snuff atrocity films only glimpsed at in the movie itself.
• 1:19:44
  This is simply some sort of crime.
• 1:19:46
  It serves no purpose except to shoehorn the idea of actually
• 1:19:50
  watching a snuff movie into the audience's head.
• 1:19:53
  These films are made to look real.
• 1:19:56
  The closest to seeing the real thing is so complete that it
• 1:19:59
  leaves any sane viewer with the urge to cry with despair they
• 1:20:02
  can see is a disgrace, A vile idea and a disgusting result.
• 1:20:07
  It serves no purpose at all than to further degrade the wants art
• 1:20:11
  of cinema and further adds to the keenness of criminal level
• 1:20:15
  film makers who want to enjoy profiting from an audience for
• 1:20:19
  this cruelty. Like the equally atrocious
• 1:20:22
  Hostel or Wolf Creek, this imbecile brain damage movie is
• 1:20:26
  made for rapists and classmate killers in training.
• 1:20:30
  That's a little harsh right there.
• 1:20:32
  I don't even think that this movie is that like harsh with
• 1:20:35
  its material like that the you'd.
• 1:20:37
  Have to show a lot more up close of the torturing for it to be.
• 1:20:44
  I think. Quote UN quote for true porn.
• 1:20:45
  This is an incredibly sheltered person, I think because like, if
• 1:20:50
  you go on there and look at it like real shit, it doesn't hold
• 1:20:53
  a candle to what we watched in this movie right here.
• 1:20:56
  Like, yeah, it's some pretty disturbing themes, but it's a
• 1:20:58
  horror movie, you know? Like, I don't think it crosses
• 1:21:01
  any boundaries with what it did here.
• 1:21:03
  I think it it was just setting up a terrifying premise, which
• 1:21:07
  is like, there are people out there that do this thing, and if
• 1:21:10
  you're stuck in like that, that's a scary premise.
• 1:21:14
  That's a scary situation to be put in.
• 1:21:16
  I think that's something that people can relate to.
• 1:21:19
  Yeah. And yeah, I mean, you don't have
• 1:21:21
  to like it, then you don't have to watch it.
• 1:21:23
  Yeah, I can see how this film isn't for everybody.
• 1:21:26
  I don't like the whole like snuff film premise of it, but I
• 1:21:29
  do think it does it better than like, let's say, 13 cameras.
• 1:21:34
  That one's definitely a lot more misogynistic.
• 1:21:36
  Yeah, yeah, I, I didn't. Notice a lot more sexual and
• 1:21:39
  exploitative in nature. This is like I.
• 1:21:42
  Didn't understand the misogyny. I mean, there's like.
• 1:21:46
  One of the tapes shows the women that are being attacked and we
• 1:21:49
  have some nudity in that, but that's.
• 1:21:51
  Yeah, it just seemed like a situational thing, like it
• 1:21:53
  didn't seem like it was targeted because of that.
• 1:21:55
  Like they got like 2 dudes together too you.
• 1:21:57
  Know, and I get like some of the shots that David takes it, Amy,
• 1:22:02
  but that's more like a relationship breakdown.
• 1:22:06
  Yeah, I don't know. I want to pick this person's
• 1:22:10
  brain a little bit to understand more where they're coming from.
• 1:22:13
  But either way, I can see why this wouldn't be somebody's cup
• 1:22:17
  of tea. But I think it does a lot of
• 1:22:20
  good little film making tricks, especially in the first like 2/3
• 1:22:25
  of it. Yeah, I agree.
• 1:22:27
  OK, well with that out of the way, let's do the listener
• 1:22:31
  reviews. Do we have listener reviews?
• 1:22:33
  It's everybody's saying that they've never seen this movie
• 1:22:35
  before. Wow.
• 1:22:37
  Yeah. Which, you know, like now maybe
• 1:22:40
  check it out if you can. It's, I mean, we recommend it,
• 1:22:44
  but like I said before, if I cannot find, if I don't get
• 1:22:47
  listener reviews, I'm going to get reviews from weird sources.
• 1:22:52
  This time I went to one of those Christian review websites where
• 1:22:56
  they asked the child they thought of this movie.
• 1:22:59
  Comments from young people and is young.
• 1:23:03
  People, necessarily children. Not really.
• 1:23:05
  This is a 16 year old but they're not an adult.
• 1:23:07
  They shouldn't be watching this film technically, but this is
• 1:23:11
  thoughts of a 16 year old named Kay who saw this.
• 1:23:16
  This movie was not only morally corrupt but extremely
• 1:23:19
  disappointing. There were a couple of G DS and
• 1:23:22
  a shrew of other cuss words as well as some.
• 1:23:27
  There was also a lot of violence, but the point of the
• 1:23:30
  movie to make the viewer be on the edge of their seat was
• 1:23:33
  totally lost. I didn't find it scary or
• 1:23:35
  suspenseful whatsoever and was very disappointed when it ended
• 1:23:38
  really quickly without any resolution.
• 1:23:41
  Save your money and don't see this movie.
• 1:23:43
  OK, listen, you can have your film making critiques of it.
• 1:23:47
  I expect the language and stuff. Yeah, new to do from the
• 1:23:50
  Christian website, but like there is resolution like all the
• 1:23:54
  bad guys nod. Yeah, I think they mean like
• 1:23:57
  open-ended with the characters that we're following.
• 1:24:00
  Like, do they, are they together?
• 1:24:01
  Does he survive? I wanted the couple to go get
• 1:24:04
  saved and have more babies. Like, yeah, yeah, like.
• 1:24:08
  Rediscover God. Yeah, probably I, you know,
• 1:24:12
  maybe we'll pick their brain or we could have picked their brain
• 1:24:14
  and see what they wanted out of the there was like.
• 1:24:17
  This wild Christian movie I saw one time, not out of my own
• 1:24:22
  choice, but it involved a guy meeting this woman who's a
• 1:24:26
  professional dancer, and they fall in love.
• 1:24:30
  But she's like, you can't be in love with me.
• 1:24:31
  I can't have kids. I've lost children.
• 1:24:34
  And it turned out that she just needed to fine God because she
• 1:24:40
  was ungodly and had an eating disorder before and that's why
• 1:24:43
  she miscarried. So it was really her own heathen
• 1:24:45
  fault that she can have kids before and the end of the movie
• 1:24:47
  is them having lots of kids and her being a dance instructor but
• 1:24:50
  not a professional like stage dancer anymore.
• 1:24:53
  That's that sounds awful. Yeah, So, yeah, so that's what
• 1:25:01
  I'm picturing they want for the couple at the end of this
• 1:25:03
  probably. Yeah, like she admitted that the
• 1:25:06
  Charlie Seth was her fault and now she can repent and atone and
• 1:25:11
  they can have kids. More kids.
• 1:25:13
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want that sequel.
• 1:25:17
  Yeah. I don't either.
• 1:25:19
  OK, cool. Well, that's it then.
• 1:25:21
  That's it for the reviews. That means it's it for this
• 1:25:23
