- 0:04It's spooky season and you know we here
- 0:07at the Pop Culture Junkie podcast are celebrating.
- 0:10My name is Shauna and I'm here with Olivia.
- 0:14What have you been doing to get in the mood
- 0:16for Halloween, Olivia?
- 0:17Well, actually, I just went to the spookiest place
- 0:21of 'em all, New York City.
- 0:23Transylvania.
- 0:24(laughing)
- 0:25Scottsdale
- 0:27Scottsdale, Arizona.
- 0:29No, actually, so I just went to New York City
- 0:32for the first time.
- 0:33Wait, that was your first time?
- 0:35I've never been to New York City ever before.
- 0:37How did I not know that I thought you would go on already?
- 0:39No.
- 0:40Did you love it?
- 0:40I loved it.
- 0:41Yeah, it was fun.
- 0:42Another scary thing is I was going to a family wedding.
- 0:46(laughing)
- 0:47Oh, that's a real spooker.
- 0:49Ooh, you're cute.
- 0:50(laughing)
- 0:51No, but it was gorgeous.
- 0:52It was a beautiful wedding.
- 0:53My cousin was a gorgeous bride, but it was pretty cool
- 0:58because we were actually able to get a mix of wedding time
- 1:01and then sightseeing.
- 1:02So, got to go to Central Park.
- 1:06We went to the World Trade Center
- 1:08and did the restaurant there.
- 1:10I didn't get to go inside when I went.
- 1:12I showed up at night to the World Trade Center
- 1:14and I got to see the memorial.
- 1:16But I wanna go inside the museum.
- 1:17I didn't realize there was a restaurant at that time.
- 1:19So, it's like a 360 view of the city.
- 1:21So, I got to see all of New York City
- 1:24from up there.
- 1:24It's the tallest building now.
- 1:26What's pretty crazy about it, though,
- 1:28is the way that they built it,
- 1:30is it kinda like, sways a little bit.
- 1:33It makes it more structurally sound.
- 1:35But I'm coming off of being very sick and very nauseous.
- 1:39And I was like, "Oh God, am I getting vertigo?"
- 1:41Oh, I like vertigo.
- 1:42Oh, no.
- 1:44So, it was really cool to be able to see the city
- 1:48and that high up and really look at all of the history.
- 1:52I got to walk through Central Park
- 1:54and go see all of those.
- 1:54I didn't get to do Central Park.
- 1:56Did you go to Times Square?
- 1:57No, 'cause I have a claustrophobia problem
- 2:01and I don't like really large crowds.
- 2:04And so, it's true.
- 2:05And that'll kind of lead into what we're gonna discuss to it as well.
- 2:09But it depends on what day of the week you go.
- 2:11When I went, it's definitely busy,
- 2:13but it's not like you see on the New Year's ball
- 2:16to offer some shit all the time.
- 2:18Yeah.
- 2:19But there are a lot of people in Radi Elmo costumes
- 2:22that were like coming onto it's very strange.
- 2:24Yeah, it just kind of seems like a tourist trap
- 2:27and everyone says it's insane, like expensive.
- 2:30The crowds are a lot.
- 2:32And so, we went to Rock Valley Center
- 2:35and I actually got to go to the Jimmy Fallon
- 2:40to Nightmares haunted house.
- 2:41That's the scariest thing you did.
- 2:43Yeah.
- 2:44You spent time with Jimmy Fallon.
- 2:46Well, I didn't actually get to see him.
- 2:47I just heard his voice coming through it.
- 2:50Oh, yeah.
- 2:50But last year I went to 13 floors in Arizona
- 2:54and I'm just extremely disappointed
- 2:56with haunted houses nowadays.
- 2:57Dude, I love a good haunted house,
- 2:59but like, there aren't any good ones.
- 3:00They're scared lately.
- 3:01Yeah, there aren't any good ones anymore
- 3:03and I don't know if it's like growing up
- 3:05and I'm desensitized.
- 3:06I still scream at every single image I'm out of it.
- 3:09I went to, have you got any fear of farm in Arizona?
- 3:12Yeah, terrible.
- 3:13You got chased by the dude with the chain saw
- 3:15through a corn maze.
- 3:16I think it's 'cause I just shit your pan.
- 3:18But I just giggle and then they're like,
- 3:20oh, this isn't my audience.
- 3:22I'm gonna go find a six year old.
- 3:23Oh, like, so they're shot at, let's chase her instead.
- 3:26Yeah, but I liked, so if you're in New York City,
- 3:29I would definitely pop it.
- 3:31It was good.
- 3:32It was great and it was a good haunted house,
- 3:35but it also had characterization of Jimmy Fallon.
- 3:39And so--
- 3:40It's horrifying.
- 3:41So it's like Jimmy Fallon's reoccurring nightmares.
- 3:44So it's like 10 different rooms or haunted hauntings
- 3:49and he starts it off and you go through with the tour guide.
- 3:52I think if you didn't have the tour guide there,
- 3:55it'd be really scary.
- 3:56Oh, yeah.
- 3:57Because you're like, where the hell am I going?
- 3:58You kind of have that safety net, but I really like it.
- 4:01I like it if you're going with one friend or your alone.
- 4:04Yeah.
- 4:04And I like being in the front of the group.
- 4:06Yeah.
- 4:06So you don't have the scarce spoil for you
- 4:08from the people in front of you, scary.
- 4:10Yeah, I think one thing they did really well
- 4:12that haunted houses don't do very well anymore
- 4:16is they had enough space between parties.
- 4:20That's the thing.
- 4:21You don't have the spookiness, like someone getting scared.
- 4:25Like when we went to the 13th floor.
- 4:27Yeah.
- 4:27There is this, like, dad and daughter right in front of us
- 4:32and they just like ruined everything.
- 4:33Oh, we have scared.
- 4:35I mean, not that we have fucking time to do anything
- 4:37with our lives, but I love a good haunted house.
- 4:39Yeah, I love it.
- 4:40So if you have a good Arizona haunted house
- 4:42recommendation, we would definitely take it.
- 4:44But it was really fun.
- 4:45It was great where the reception of the wedding
- 4:49was was actually--
- 4:50it's called Balthazar, it was featured in a Sex
- 4:52in the City episode.
- 4:54So it was very, very fun.
- 4:56And so we just had a grand old time and very expensive time.
- 5:00And you were sober the whole time.
- 5:02Yeah, that's the scariest part.
- 5:04And that is horrifying.
- 5:06A sober wedding with family.
- 5:08Was there an open bar where you just--
- 5:09Oh, yeah, I can't do it.
- 5:11Yeah.
- 5:11It was probably the nice sweating I've ever been to.
- 5:14Yes, because eating--
- 5:14And with my wedding?
- 5:15Yeah.
- 5:15No, I don't even want to try to put a figure on it.
- 5:18But--
- 5:20It was definitely a preview into how other people live.
- 5:24That's incredible.
- 5:25That's amazing.
- 5:25But yeah, lots of walking around--
- 5:28I'm going to have time to go back to New York City.
- 5:30I did get to do one cool thing last weekend.
- 5:34Jennifer Garner was here for a Moms for Kamala event.
- 5:37No, I love that.
- 5:38And I said, moms, of course I need to go all of my children.
- 5:44Yes, if Buffy counts.
- 5:45Buffy and Tess both counts.
- 5:46And sometimes my husband counts.
- 5:48Yeah.
- 5:48Well, I wouldn't call your husband your child.
- 5:52And that's incestuous.
- 5:54That's--
- 5:55It's like that joke.
- 5:56I always get a cleaner battery.
- 5:58And I was like my child.
- 5:59No, he's older than me.
- 6:01I was in the trash.
- 6:03No, that would be marrying my brother, not my own son.
- 6:08Anyway, let's not talk about incest anymore.
- 6:10I got to meet Jennifer Garner.
- 6:11And yeah, that's her.
- 6:12Was she as sweet as she seems?
- 6:14Dude, she's amazingly sweet.
- 6:17Like follow her on social media.
- 6:19She just seemed so down to her own chill
- 6:22and just like a normal person.
- 6:23And that was absolutely her.
- 6:25So there was a couple other speakers.
- 6:27And it was all about maternal welfare and access
- 6:32to childcare and reproductive rights.
- 6:34And they were encouraging people to vote for Kamala for that.
- 6:37And I went representing the yes on Prop 139 campaign
- 6:41for Arizona for abortion access vote.
- 6:44And we all--
- 6:45she gathered in the middle.
- 6:46It was at this cute little bar called Drink Me Tea Room.
- 6:51OK.
- 6:51We definitely need to check out.
- 6:52You can do--
- 6:53They have tea, so I can drink.
- 6:55They have Sunday afternoon at Sunday, but every day tea.
- 7:01And crumpets.
- 7:02OK.
- 7:02And then also some good cocktails.
- 7:04OK.
- 7:04I love that.
- 7:05And got to walk up to Jennifer at the end.
- 7:07And when I told Andrew, I was meeting her,
- 7:10I was like, I'm going to go up to her and say, hi, Jennifer.
- 7:13Drink.
- 7:14I'm also 13 going on 35.
- 7:17I loved you in Deadpool.
- 7:19And he's like, please do not-- for the love of God,
- 7:21you're on a stop.
- 7:22Do not do not please.
- 7:23Oh my God.
- 7:24It was bento.
- 7:25What's he there?
- 7:26No.
- 7:26I wouldn't have done it.
- 7:28It was in--
- 7:29you had to be vetted before you got in.
- 7:31OK.
- 7:32OK.
- 7:32So I didn't invite him.
- 7:33He's got his dark past stuff.
- 7:36[LAUGHTER]
- 7:39The man who has never had a sip of alcohol
- 7:42or not anything fun in his life.
- 7:43He's not a mom for Kamala.
- 7:45He is a--
- 7:46He's not a momela.
- 7:47He's not a momela.
- 7:49He's a dad for Kamala.
- 7:51That's a reason to invite him.
- 7:53Yes.
- 7:53But she was very sweet.
- 7:54And all I said was, hi.
- 7:56My name's Shauna.
- 7:57I'm with yes on prop 139.
- 7:59Arizona for abortion access.
- 8:00I just wanted to thank you for coming to Arizona
- 8:03and using your platform to promote such important causes.
- 8:07I love her.
- 8:07I love her so much.
- 8:08That's very articulate.
- 8:09She said, oh my gosh, of course.
- 8:10Thank you.
- 8:11Thank you for coming.
- 8:12Thank you for being here.
- 8:12And we took a kill.
- 8:13It was cute.
- 8:14Yeah.
- 8:15And I got in the car.
- 8:15And I was like, she was so nice.
- 8:18She was so nice.
- 8:19Literally, I can't even imagine meeting her.
- 8:22She posted this video the other day on her TikTok.
- 8:26And she picks up the Elektra wands.
- 8:30Like the safe, do-able sites.
- 8:32Wands.
- 8:33Yeah.
- 8:34Elektra's a witch that I love.
- 8:35Yes.
- 8:35Yes.
- 8:36She is a wand.
- 8:37So she goes, wow, I haven't put--
- 8:39I haven't done anything with these in so long.
- 8:41It's been like 20 years.
- 8:42And she just starts picking them up and moving them around
- 8:45so gracefully and elegantly.
- 8:47And I just think, thank God that woman got away from Ben Affleck.
- 8:52She was up there speaking about just women's rights.
- 8:56And she had a piece of paper for her speech that
- 8:59shouldn't even look at once.
- 9:00And just her glasses in her hand.
- 9:02And she-- all the speakers went for her before her.
- 9:05She's just intently listening to them and clapping.
- 9:08And I thought, this woman was married to Ben Affleck.
- 9:11What the fuck?
- 9:12She deserves love and light for the rest of her years
- 9:15for being married about men.
- 9:16Like, I can't even imagine.
- 9:19And she was delightful.
- 9:20So I do have a few more celebrities on my list
- 9:24that I'm coming up to meet.
- 9:25Oh, it's a couple weeks, but I'm not.
- 9:27I'm not going to say it until it happens.
- 9:28I post a picture.
- 9:29Yes, well, I'll save it for the instas.
- 9:32But yeah, you're on a tear.
- 9:34Lona's ex, the daily--
- 9:36Jennifer Garner.
- 9:37The daily stuff's not as a drop, but that's fine.
- 9:39Yeah, pretty soon.
- 9:40Sean is just going to leave me and ditch this car.
- 9:43I'm going to leave you.
- 9:44I'm going to leave you.
- 9:45So cool.
- 9:46I mean, I'm already pretty cool.
- 9:48But I mean, maybe.
- 9:49Well, debatable.
- 9:50But I'm not going anywhere.
- 9:52I'm too anxious to be famous.
- 9:54I like eating carbs too much to be famous.
- 9:57Yeah.
- 9:58I'd be walking down the street and somebody
- 9:59would stick a camera in my face.
- 10:01And I just got to stop.
- 10:02I'm just so hungry.
- 10:03Yeah.
- 10:04I didn't wear a makeup outfit.
- 10:06Well, if you ever do see Sean on the street,
- 10:09know that she would love a hello.
- 10:12Love a hello.
- 10:13Yeah.
- 10:13And a compliment on my bangs.
- 10:15Yeah, they do look good.
- 10:17Thank you.
- 10:17You're welcome.
- 10:17I boxed out my hair.
- 10:19I know your hair style is going to be so upset with you.
- 10:21I know, but it looks really good.
- 10:22It does look good.
- 10:23It doesn't feel like--
- 10:23It doesn't feel like--
- 10:24I'm really good.
- 10:24--on YouTube.
- 10:25You can see how good it looks.
- 10:26If you're my hair stylist listening to this,
- 10:28I'm really sorry.
- 10:30I had to.
- 10:31I had to.
- 10:31I'm busy fighting for your rights.
- 10:33I had to boxed out.
- 10:34I'm saying--
- 10:35The sacrifice of the shoe makes for us, guys.
- 10:37Yeah, listen.
- 10:38You're going to have abortion rights in Arizona
- 10:40because I boxed out my hair.
- 10:42This is-- this is order.
- 10:44I believe it.
- 10:45I believe it.
- 10:45But, you know, there's no other things there
- 10:48that we need to discuss.
- 10:49Women's rights are on your own.
- 10:50Sean, yeah.
- 10:51Boxed out of order.
- 10:52[LAUGHTER]
- 10:54Pop culture and Halloween go together so well.
- 11:02The haunted houses, the monster movies,
- 11:05imaginative costumes, TV specials.
- 11:08It's the most magical time of the year.
- 11:13The honestly-- yeah, it is.
- 11:14Yeah, that's much better than the newsboy voice.
- 11:19I think you said newsboy.
- 11:21In my Christian youth group kid, there's
- 11:23a Christian man called the newsboy.
- 11:25Oh.
- 11:26And I was like, you know the newsboy?
- 11:27That's a deep guy.
- 11:29That's a deep guy.
- 11:30You know the newsboy?
- 11:31No, for me.
- 11:32I have a annual tradition that Spooky Season starts for me
- 11:37in July.
- 11:38This year, I did not stick to that.
- 11:40I think it's because I live alone.
- 11:42And--
- 11:42Do you come to my Halloween pool party in July?
- 11:44I did.
- 11:45I did where you--
- 11:46And you came across him as guests.
- 11:48Yes, yes.
- 11:49But normally, I start watching a horror movie every single day.
- 11:52I didn't start that in September like I normally do.
- 11:55So I've just been powering through.
- 11:58I watched all the screams--
- 12:00From the franchise.
- 12:00Yeah, I'm from the franchise.
- 12:01And it really got me thinking about just the horror genre
- 12:05in general.
- 12:06And how there's so many different genres inside of the--
- 12:09Yeah, a big genre.
- 12:10And it's honestly like crazy.
- 12:12Like if you just go through and look at it,
- 12:15there's so many different types.
- 12:16Like we have your traditional 1980 slasher, which really
- 12:20give you like Freddie, Jason, all of those Michael Myers.
- 12:25And then you go into scream, which
- 12:27is a very meta commentary on all of the slasher genres.
- 12:34And I think scream is just such a good example of why horror
- 12:39can be so good, because it is a commentary on culture
- 12:42and the art that we're making and how it can become exploitative.
- 12:46Exploited?
- 12:47Yeah, exploitative.
- 12:49Or just cookie cutter, like copy paste.
- 12:52Yeah.
- 12:53I think scream was a really interesting commentary on that.
- 12:58And then it's continued.
- 12:59But then you go into like a scream for, which
- 13:02is making a comment about all of the other screams.
- 13:06It's like a meta meta.
- 13:07Yeah, it's like it becomes like this crazy thing.
- 13:11Then we go into the 2000s where we have a lot of found footage.
- 13:15Oh my gosh.
- 13:15Do you like found footage horror films?
- 13:18So how do you feel about those?
- 13:19I like the Blair Witch project.
- 13:21I've never seen the Blair Witch project.
- 13:23I know.
- 13:24Isn't that insane?
- 13:25Oh my gosh.
- 13:26We need to add that.
- 13:27Okay.
- 13:28My list to the list.
- 13:29My list, like I do the same that you do.
- 13:30Like I try to watch as many horror movies as I can throughout October.
- 13:34And I have a few favorites that I'll rewatch.
- 13:36But my husband and I always try to watch horror movies that we've never seen before.
- 13:40So we rewatched the entire scream franchise last year, because there was a couple in there
- 13:45that I had missed.
- 13:46Like four or five.
- 13:47Yeah.
- 13:48Yeah, just randos.
- 13:49And I enjoyed all of them.
- 13:50And then I were going to talk in a little bit about a horror movie that we both watched
- 13:53recently that I'd never seen.
- 13:56But found footage, I need to add Blair Witch to my list, honestly.
- 13:59But I really did like Cloverfield.
- 14:02Okay.
- 14:03Which I liked that one too.
- 14:04Yeah.
- 14:05Which is a good mix of found footage and kind of like supernatural alien horror.
- 14:09Yeah.
- 14:10Yeah.
- 14:11I think the Blair Witch is really good.
- 14:12The Blair Witch is crazy because when it came out, I think it came out on like 98 or 99.
- 14:17So I like that.
- 14:18I passed it off as actually found footage and people believe it.
- 14:24And it was done really, really well.
- 14:26And I think we've talked in other episodes about how crazy it would be to go with B on the
- 14:31Blair Witch because a lot of it is them just like ad hoc, like ad-dem, they didn't really
- 14:37have a script.
- 14:38They actually lost the map.
- 14:40Like there's so many things within a movie.
- 14:44And it really started it off.
- 14:45I do like the paranormal activity movies as well.
- 14:48My favorite.
- 14:49Funny enough, is the fourth one with Catherine Newton in it.
- 14:53I need to rewatch those two.
- 14:55The one that stands out my mind the most is the first one.
- 14:57Yeah.
- 14:58Scared this shit out of Andrew.
- 14:59Yeah.
- 15:00Like we went to the theater to see, I don't know, the third or fourth one.
- 15:05And he was in the seat next to me and like shaking his foot so hard.
- 15:08Well, yeah, I mean, if he puts himself in the--
- 15:10I don't know man.
- 15:12I think the second and the first one.
- 15:13I don't know man.
- 15:14I think the second and the first one.
- 15:17And the fourth one are my favorites.
- 15:20After the fourth one, it's just like, what are we still doing here?
- 15:22Yeah, the first one was so good and so iconic because it's so low budget and so unique.
- 15:28And it feels authentic.
- 15:30Yeah.
- 15:31It feels like this could be a couple that you know that's just going through this shit and
- 15:35they're on and out.
- 15:36Yeah, where you could--
- 15:37I feel like Andrew probably got so scared because he could put himself in that where
- 15:41it's like, oh, we're childless couple.
- 15:44Yeah.
- 15:45Like, oh no.
- 15:46I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:48I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:49I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:50I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:51I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:52I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:53I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:54I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:55I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:56I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:57I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:58I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 15:59I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 16:00I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 16:01I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 16:02I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 16:03I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 16:04I'm just going to be honest with you.
- 16:05If I woke up in a sleepy stupor and someone was doing that, I would just backhand.
- 16:17I would just backhand.
- 16:18The only time I would ever do that to you is if we were just trashed.
- 16:20Yeah.
- 16:21Well, at that point, you know, it might just be you broke your foot and you need help.
- 16:27I just said, "Please, I need to go to a hospital.
- 16:30Right back down."
- 16:31I just tell you to shut up.
- 16:32You did.
- 16:35I can't help it.
- 16:36But, you know, there's so many different types of horror.
- 16:38There's psychological, which I think is probably my favorite because it really gets in your head.
- 16:44Super natural.
- 16:45Probably my second favorite there.
- 16:47I've talked a little bit about monsters.
- 16:49And then I think a genre that I really want to see come back is Comedy Horror, which I love.
- 16:55I love what you love.
- 16:56Scary movie 1-3.
- 16:57It is so good.
- 16:58The first three are so good.
- 16:59And then it got, because they started branching off and they did epic movie or Kim Kardashian
- 17:06and she ruined it.
- 17:07Yeah.
- 17:08In romance movie, or I don't know, they had this whole spin-off genre and they were all terrible.
- 17:12But the first three scary movies are fucking hilarious.
- 17:15I like kind of rom-com horror.
- 17:19And I don't even know if it's considered horror, I guess.
- 17:23But we just watched Let The Right One In.
- 17:26And it's the Swedish movie about a little boy who's bullied at school.
- 17:31It's based on a novel and a vampire moves in next door.
- 17:37And they're about the same age.
- 17:39Well, kind of it's a vampire.
- 17:41And they end up, I mean, that's his only friend and it's really sweet.
- 17:46And it got a really good score in Rotten Tomatoes.
- 17:49And I don't know, I popped up on some article, which is why I chose it.
- 17:52But there is an American we make called Let Me In with Chloe Grace Marantza's I don't know.
- 17:58And apparently it's a good two.
- 18:00I have seen that one.
- 18:01I have seen that one.
- 18:02Yeah.
- 18:03Yeah.
- 18:04Watch the Swedish one.
- 18:05It was really good.
- 18:06Do they have a dubbed version or is it all subtitles?
- 18:08We watched it in subtitles because I'm a subtitle person.
- 18:10But I know you're a dubbed version.
- 18:11I can't, it's like that meme of the office where he's just staring at her chest.
- 18:16And he was like, that is all I see.
- 18:18Like I can't observe the act of the act.
- 18:21I can't observe like the jumps or like really get into it.
- 18:24I know you have to sound each word.
- 18:25Yes.
- 18:26For a long time when you read it's fine.
- 18:27Maybe I know.
- 18:28It's just the illiterate one.
- 18:30That's the vampire.
- 18:32Vampire.
- 18:33Vampire.
- 18:34Yeah.
- 18:35It's really good.
- 18:37It's really good.
- 18:38But it wasn't scary as much as I mean, there's some gore in it.
- 18:42So it was it was horror chasing.
- 18:44Okay.
- 18:45And kind of like warm bodies.
- 18:47Yes.
- 18:48I love warm bodies.
- 18:49Yes.
- 18:50I think that there's so many different types like you have like full core or you have paranormal.
- 18:55You have vampires like you talked about.
- 18:58One that I really love as well and we'll never get sick of is zombies.
- 19:02I think I love zombie movies.
- 19:04You know, walking dead.
- 19:05We did a whole episode about it.
- 19:07Shout out to Haley.
- 19:08They are just so good and I think trained to boost on.
- 19:12I've never seen that.
- 19:13I love that.
- 19:14Yeah.
- 19:15I like that.
- 19:16Did you watch it dub?
- 19:17No, subtitles.
- 19:18I did it.
- 19:19I did it.
- 19:20I can do it.
- 19:21But I'm so proud of you.
- 19:22There's just so much action in that and not a lot of speaking.
- 19:24That's true.
- 19:25So your dialogue is a lot of like, "Ahhh."
- 19:26My leg.
- 19:27My leg.
- 19:28My leg.
- 19:29Ahhh.
- 19:30Which translates in every language.
- 19:37Ah.
- 19:38Yeah.
- 19:39That's an easy one.
- 19:43But then there's also dark fantasy, apocalyptic.
- 19:46We have lovecraftian and just so many different types of stuff.
- 19:50I'm talking about Haley and Todd.
- 19:51It has this apocalyptic and like post-apocalyptic horror or some of my favorite genres.
- 19:57And I know I've talked about this a million times in the podcast, but I love end of the world
- 20:00stuff.
- 20:01Yeah.
- 20:02And I love confined to a compromising situation so that Ryan Reynolds movie where he's
- 20:08buried underground in a coffin.
- 20:10No.
- 20:11No.
- 20:12I love it.
- 20:13Well, that's actually a really great point because I'm going to talk about one of the horror
- 20:19genres that gets me the most in its phobia horror.
- 20:27I went on to Reddit and I as one does when they made a night.
- 20:32As a millennial does.
- 20:35And I searched scariest movie ever made.
- 20:39A lot of different options came up.
- 20:42Some of them you and I had mentioned about watching, but I have no interest in watching
- 20:46like a Serbian film.
- 20:48Yep.
- 20:49No, which is supposed to be disgusting and disturbing more than scary.
- 20:52I am not about that.
- 20:54But like graphic porn adjacent like yes, that one of the columns, a scorcher porn.
- 21:01Yeah, a scorcher porn like a snuff.
- 21:03Yeah, there we go.
- 21:04Snuff films.
- 21:05Yeah, I can do it.
- 21:06I am about that.
- 21:07The first saw amazing.
- 21:08Subsequence a la.
- 21:09Yeah.
- 21:10So we went away from that and then I suggested movie called Antichrist, which I think is also
- 21:15kind of close to that.
- 21:16Okay.
- 21:17With Willem DeFoe apparently it's supposed to be horrifying.
- 21:20The scariest movie I've ever seen personally is hereditary.
- 21:24Okay.
- 21:25Maybe scared the shit out of me.
- 21:27That movie stuck with me for months.
- 21:31A lot of people said a movie called The Descent was the scariest movie they had ever seen.
- 21:36And I had never seen it.
- 21:37Which is crazy to me.
- 21:39Yes, one night being my cousin, I'm her and I both love horror movies.
- 21:43Shout out Kate.
- 21:44And we decided to do a phobia horror movie binge.
- 21:47And so we went because it's one of the ones that messes me up the most.
- 21:52And so I have to go into movies that like I know are going to make me uncomfortable.
- 21:56And so we decided to watch The Descent because you had never seen it.
- 22:00But while we were talking about it, I had asked if you had ever seen as above so below.
- 22:05Which is really similar to The Descent.
- 22:07But The Descent is a phobia horror because they are dissenting into these caves.
- 22:15It's a very claustrophobic.
- 22:16Yeah, there are like five women in it who are chasing the adventure junkies.
- 22:25So it has to be off so bad.
- 22:28I watched it just yesterday.
- 22:30So tell us your rating.
- 22:32I won the five scariest house, how scary.
- 22:35You know what, I'm going to give it about a four scary, maybe a three or four.
- 22:40I wasn't just like, oh, I caught shaking.
- 22:44But I guess a lot of things don't do that to me unless it's like a psychological horror
- 22:47like red-editary.
- 22:48Okay.
- 22:49Which when they focus on his face and he knows his sister is headless in the back seat, that
- 22:53shook me to my core.
- 22:55Yeah, I saw that in theaters and everyone was like, and it's just silence over the entire
- 23:00audience.
- 23:01Yeah.
- 23:02That shook me.
- 23:03That was like a tear.
- 23:04Yeah, it was really well.
- 23:05And I think he really put a 24 on the map.
- 23:07Yes.
- 23:08A 24 amazing horror.
- 23:10The dissent I really did enjoy.
- 23:12I liked the main actress.
- 23:13His name was Shana McDonnell.
- 23:15And it spelled the same way as I do.
- 23:17Wow.
- 23:18The proper way with a U.
- 23:19Yes.
- 23:20And my sister in law's last name is McDonnell.
- 23:23It was true.
- 23:24It was like, if you married Blake, your name would be Shana McDonnell.
- 23:28And I'd be like, good one, babe.
- 23:30And then I went through my entire, like a moment, my brain, where I just ran through
- 23:33my entire life with my sister in law's husband, like, God, we would be disgusting.
- 23:37You guys would be the worst couple ever.
- 23:40Oh my God.
- 23:41We would just be feral.
- 23:42We would be just, we would do all of the substances you could possibly make.
- 23:47I would be just, you know, we need the counterbalance.
- 23:50We need the counterbalance of the Trinidad family.
- 23:54Blake and I are both equally disgusting.
- 23:56Yeah.
- 23:57Anyway, it would be bad.
- 23:59It would never work out.
- 24:00But Shana McDonnell, this baby, he plays stand.
- 24:03She does a great job in it.
- 24:05Yes.
- 24:06I mean, we're going to spoil it.
- 24:07It came out in what like 2000 seven minutes.
- 24:09No, maybe.
- 24:10Maybe.
- 24:11I don't know.
- 24:12I think it was when we were like 2008, 2007, maybe very mid 2000 haircuts.
- 24:16Yep.
- 24:17And she is an adrenaline junkie with her gal pals and they go white water rafting and
- 24:22forgetting they're adrenaline junkies.
- 24:24They're driving home from this trip and her daughter and her husband, who is from the
- 24:29first minute that he helps her friend out of the water and they make eye contact.
- 24:33I go, they're having sex.
- 24:35And Andrew said, what do you say?
- 24:36I'm like, her husband's cheating on her with her best friend.
- 24:39I was a sexual.
- 24:40I'm not see that.
- 24:41That was the most sexual eye contact I've ever seen in a movie.
- 24:44Yeah.
- 24:45Spoiler they are.
- 24:47But her husband and her daughter are horrifically killed in this car crash with a pole to the
- 24:51head.
- 24:52And a year later, her gal pals all gather back up and they want to dissent into the
- 24:57cabins, which is called spillunking.
- 25:01Spillunkers.
- 25:02Spillunkers.
- 25:03Spooky spillunkers.
- 25:04All new genres.
- 25:05Spooky spillunking.
- 25:06You will never catch me spillunking.
- 25:08Yeah.
- 25:09No.
- 25:10In Austin, there's a bunch of cave systems and they would take you there on school field trips
- 25:16and I absolutely hated it.
- 25:18Spillunking children.
- 25:19Yeah.
- 25:20I mean, it was a discovered cavern system and it was a tourist.
- 25:23That's right.
- 25:24I wanted to say that going for you because her friend of this movie pissed me off.
- 25:27So bad.
- 25:28First of all, it's the friend who's having sex with her husband or who he used to.
- 25:32Who wants to discover a new cave system but tells not a single one of them that no one
- 25:37has ever adventureed here before.
- 25:39There is like a known pathway or system that they all think they're going to.
- 25:46And she hides the, keeps the map in the car to surprise them and is like, I wanted us
- 25:51to be the first ones to discover it.
- 25:53So I could name it after you.
- 25:55Well, because I slept with your husband and he died.
- 25:58How bold it is.
- 26:00She has this necklace on the best friend of the entire time that was from the girl's
- 26:04dead husband.
- 26:05Yep.
- 26:06How bold.
- 26:07Yeah.
- 26:08I'm sorry.
- 26:09If you slept with my husband and he bought you a necklace, don't wear the necklace around
- 26:10me.
- 26:11Yeah.
- 26:12I'm going to find out.
- 26:13Yeah.
- 26:14It's really, really good.
- 26:15I mean, I love the movie.
- 26:16I loved the movie.
- 26:17It was claustrophobic as hell.
- 26:19Yeah.
- 26:20It was watching it while I was working today.
- 26:22And I just like my shoulders increasingly like rise like the part where they're all starting
- 26:28to like crawl through.
- 26:30Oh, that was the scary part.
- 26:31I hate that so much.
- 26:33Like, there are monsters in this movie, but the real scary than the monsters.
- 26:38I mean, they are then these tiny little and then she very realistically has a panic attack,
- 26:44which would be me in that situation.
- 26:45Oh, no, I would have been like, put me back up somehow.
- 26:48You're all pulling a little bit.
- 26:50You're all staying up here, you guys.
- 26:51And I'll get brunch ready for Lennie Limerah.
- 26:53I'll cut up a little cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches for us.
- 26:57You guys have fun.
- 26:58But yeah, she has a panic attack while she's in this tunnel thing.
- 27:02And that was the scary part to me too.
- 27:03I mean, the monsters are horrifying and very well done.
- 27:06And it's very bloody and scary.
- 27:08I will say there was a lot of jump cuts, which I don't like in movies.
- 27:12I like more of a prolonged scene where the camera just kind of focuses on one thing.
- 27:17Okay.
- 27:18And this one cut a lot.
- 27:19I like going through different moments in time where there's more just like, now he's on
- 27:24top. Now she's on top.
- 27:25Now it's the single.
- 27:26Now it's the single.
- 27:27I don't know.
- 27:28Like John Wick is so good with those action scenes because it just holds on to them, you
- 27:31know?
- 27:32Yep.
- 27:33But this one, I don't know.
- 27:34There was lots of cuts.
- 27:35But overall, I really liked it.
- 27:37Did you see the sequel?
- 27:38I actually have never seen descent too.
- 27:41I was thinking about watching it just like right after it.
- 27:44Yeah.
- 27:45Didn't look great.
- 27:46It doesn't have the greatest rot in tomato score.
- 27:49It's better than Joker too.
- 27:50Oh yeah.
- 27:51We didn't even talk about that.
- 27:53Yeah.
- 27:54Descent is one of those rare horror movies that actually has an 80 percent or 79.
- 28:00Let me be statistically accurate.
- 28:03That's right.
- 28:04For the horror genre to have an 80 percent is very difficult.
- 28:08I mean, it's almost unheard of.
- 28:12It's a touch shitty.
- 28:13It's like horror movies never get the accolades that I think they really deserve.
- 28:16You're never going to see a true horror movie in the Academy Awards.
- 28:20Maybe it's a little bit gross.
- 28:23That's true.
- 28:24Oh, parasite was so good.
- 28:25Parasite is an outlier because that's true.
- 28:26I think it's one of the highest rated horror movies on around tomato's world.
- 28:31And definitely a psychological and it speaks a lot to like class structure.
- 28:35Also has subtitles.
- 28:36I watched it.
- 28:37Did you watch it?
- 28:38Did you watch it this time?
- 28:39Yeah.
- 28:40And well, I wouldn't have understood the movie if I didn't.
- 28:41I mean, I'm sure it's dubbed somewhere.
- 28:44Olivia's watching it.
- 28:45Like, is there a person in the face?
- 28:49What is this?
- 28:50No clue.
- 28:51No thoughts.
- 28:52Just vibes.
- 28:53Just vibes.
- 28:54His movie's horrifying.
- 28:55That reminds me when we watched that Lensilla Pan movie.
- 29:01So one time, Sean and I, we were trying to support our girl in the Lohana.
- 29:07Lens.
- 29:08Yeah.
- 29:09The Lohana's on missed it for this movie.
- 29:11Let's say that.
- 29:12I don't even know what it was.
- 29:13We were drinking and we just looked at each other and we said, should we just mute this and
- 29:17make up our own dialogue?
- 29:18So we absolutely did.
- 29:19Absolutely hammered.
- 29:20It did make the movie better.
- 29:22It was great though.
- 29:23It was great once we muted it, but.
- 29:25Yeah.
- 29:26Yeah.
- 29:27Bob, I can't remember who I am, but maybe we should make sweet sweet love.
- 29:34I think I could save the down crispness competition, which I think was kind of just the movie
- 29:38anyway, but anyway.
- 29:39There are a lot of bad horror movies out there, right?
- 29:46Like we have like the slothening and there's some like ridiculous movies.
- 29:49Like the bad horror comedy horror probably.
- 29:52But you know, there are a lot of a list celebrities that we know and love today that came out of
- 29:58the horror genre.
- 29:59And we have Tom Hanks, who's very first acting credit was in the Sasha movie.
- 30:05He knows you're alone.
- 30:07I actually did not know that he got his start from horror movies, but I feel like we should
- 30:13watch it.
- 30:14Now, I did know about Texas Chance on Massacre with Matthew McConaughey.
- 30:19And fun fact about me is I actually grew up in Travis County, which is where the movie
- 30:26is set.
- 30:27I've never seen the original and that was the other movie that we were talking about watching.
- 30:30So I think that's going to have to be a list.
- 30:32It's worth watching.
- 30:33Yeah.
- 30:34Definitely.
- 30:35I grew up on the Jessica Biel Texas Chance on Massacre.
- 30:39Yeah.
- 30:40So it was my favorite one.
- 30:41Yeah.
- 30:42I mean, you have to just sexual awakening.
- 30:43It's good.
- 30:44You know.
- 30:45Okay, now.
- 30:46Yeah.
- 30:47Just why does she look so good?
- 30:48She's so good.
- 30:49Look at Jennifer Aniston.
- 30:51I also got her star in horror in the Leopardcon in 1993.
- 30:55Have you ever seen that before?
- 30:56No.
- 30:57Oh my gosh.
- 30:58Tristan singing.
- 30:59I think that is a silly little scary movie.
- 31:02But my favorite Leopardcon one though is back to the hood.
- 31:06I feel like that would be so good.
- 31:08It is.
- 31:09It is.
- 31:10But the Leopardcon murders this guy with a bong and that scene is stuck with me forever.
- 31:15That's how you're going to die someday by the way.
- 31:16That's why I'm going to murder you with your Rick and Morty.
- 31:19Yeah.
- 31:20That's why I have the belief that that's going to be my weapon if someone ever comes into
- 31:26my apartment trying to kill me.
- 31:28I throw the water in their face on a brick debon.
- 31:30That's why it's given another horror movie that I love called Cabin in the Woods where
- 31:35he uses his collapsible ball as a weapon.
- 31:39I mean no notes.
- 31:40No notes.
- 31:41No, no, amazing.
- 31:42I love that movie.
- 31:43And that's kind of like a comedy horror movie.
- 31:46It breaks a lot of tropes.
- 31:48It's the scream of 2010.
- 31:51Yeah.
- 31:52Where it is.
- 31:53It is a commentary on all the monsters and it's a real way.
- 31:56And I always show that movie to people who say they hate horror.
- 32:00Like Eric said he hated horror movies but I made him watch.
- 32:02It's all out there.
- 32:03Yeah.
- 32:04I made him watch.
- 32:05He hates horror movies.
- 32:06Yeah, he like refuses to watch them.
- 32:09And so I was like, okay, you have to watch Cabin in the woods and he actually really liked
- 32:12it.
- 32:13So I show that to a lot of people who say like, oh, I hate horror movies.
- 32:16I think it's, you know, if you don't like horror movies, you just probably think of it
- 32:20as like everything is saw.
- 32:22And there's so many different types of it.
- 32:23So I think growing up I did not like horror movies.
- 32:26I was just a very like, I've said this before but very sensitive like yucky like, that makes
- 32:32things would make me sick.
- 32:33Like I watched House of Wax with my boyfriend.
- 32:37Oh, that's a good one though.
- 32:40Now I would probably love it.
- 32:41But watching it at 16 and we were like cuddling on his parents' couch.
- 32:44I remember thinking, I'm going to break up with him after this.
- 32:49I am scared.
- 32:50I'm never going to say it.
- 32:51House of Wax is so scary.
- 32:52It's the uncanny valley.
- 32:53Go back to the last set.
- 32:54Oh, and when they peel his face off and he's like, oh, yeah.
- 32:57Yeah, House of Wax, that's a horrifying.
- 32:59That was a great movie in a moment in time because people just wanted to see Paris Hilton
- 33:07get murdered.
- 33:08And they put that in the commercials, watch Paris die.
- 33:10Yeah, like she knew.
- 33:11It's crazy.
- 33:12Yeah.
- 33:13And I watched, I need to watch it now as an adult.
- 33:16I watched it with Andrew and I just go, I think I'm going to break up with my husband.
- 33:21I got one of two fours.
- 33:25But I was convinced that I hated horror.
- 33:27Yep.
- 33:28It was too gross.
- 33:29It was too goring.
- 33:30I don't like watching people's heads and faces get cut off.
- 33:32That's what I would always say.
- 33:34And then Andrew, when we were dating, convinced me to watch the first evil dead movie.
- 33:38Okay.
- 33:39And he had it on DVD and was like, and I saw the cover.
- 33:42Oh, the cover.
- 33:43I still have that.
- 33:44I've heard.
- 33:45Right.
- 33:46And I was like, no, this looks horrifying.
- 33:48And he's like, I swear to God, please.
- 33:51Trust me.
- 33:52Trust me.
- 33:53Yeah.
- 33:54And from the Nonna, I was like, you're not as incredible.

- 33:57That was incredible.
- 33:58Yeah.
- 33:59That's amazing.
- 34:00I love that.
- 34:01That was your foray back into it.
- 34:01Yeah.
- 34:02I mean, I would watch like, you know, when you're a little kid and you have, did you have cable

- 42:23And so it really follows the like trilogy, like all rules are gone.
- 42:28Yeah.
- 42:29Kind of in the slowly gets stupider as a guy.
- 42:32Yeah.
- 42:33As I described in like the scream three, like the rules to a trilogy
- 42:37and how that works.
- 42:38And it pulled a lot of those from there.
- 42:40These kind of movies are probably what people think of.
- 42:42Like we said earlier when they say horror is a bad genre.
- 42:45Yes.
- 42:46They think of these stupid like leprechaun four in the movie.
- 42:49Yeah.
- 42:50The fifth one should run the corn.
- 42:53Should run the corn.
- 42:54Should run the corn.
- 42:55The corn lives again.
- 42:56Pop corn.
- 42:57Like you know, they think of those kind of tropes.
- 42:59They don't know how well done and psychological and deep and like commentary heavy.
- 43:05Like all of Jordan Peel's horror movies now are incredible and awful of commentary on race relations
- 43:11and class and very well done.
- 43:14So we've gotten away from the dream warriors of 1987.
- 43:18Yeah.
- 43:19Sorry if that's your favorite.
- 43:20No, it's definitely not the yeah, it's definitely not the best one.
- 43:25But I think that there's just so many iconic celebrities like of course we got Jamie Lee Curtis
- 43:32from Halloween and for a genre that notoriously has a bad rap.
- 43:38A lot of the people that we know and love are so famous from those roles.
- 43:43And I think that if you can do good in a horror movie that might not be the best script or
- 43:50it's unbelievable, but you can give a good performance.
- 43:53It shows that you could move over into other genres.
- 43:57Exactly.
- 43:58Especially if you have that good classic scream.
- 44:01Yes.
- 44:02I wish I was a scream queen.
- 44:03Good for gin or tega.
- 44:05Just like.
- 44:06Oh, yeah.
- 44:07She was actually one of the iconic scream queen.
- 44:09So she got her star in in Sidious chapter two.
- 44:15Those movies are good.
- 44:16I forgot she was in it as well, but it's because she's so much more famous now that you're
- 44:21like, oh, I forgot she was in that.
- 44:23And then of course she was still many more moving.
- 44:24She went on to X and now is Tim Burton's favorite.
- 44:29She was in scream.
- 44:30Yeah.
- 44:31Tim Burton's favorite person right now.
- 44:34His pedagogy.
- 44:35No, it's the word muse.
- 44:36I'm good times.
- 44:39I'm good times.
- 44:40Yeah.
- 44:41No, I love horror movies.
- 44:42I'm glad that I got over my.
- 44:45Does it correlate when you stopped being a Christian?
- 44:48Oh, my God.
- 44:49Oh, my God.
- 44:50That's so interesting.
- 44:51I need a ability to want to watch it.
- 44:54Maybe.
- 44:55You know, that's interesting.
- 44:56No, I kind of went back to my my Christian roots.
- 44:59Oh, yeah.
- 45:00When you were in Andrew, yeah.
- 45:01I remember that.
- 45:02I think it was just in my head all horror for some reason was gory and like, I don't like
- 45:09watching.
- 45:10And gratuitous and over the top, like people getting tortured and it's so much more than
- 45:15that.
- 45:16Yeah.
- 45:17So now it's probably my favorite film genre, honestly, is a good horror movie.
- 45:20Yeah.
- 45:21And I can remove myself from seeing gratuitous bloody and violence to a certain extent now.
- 45:27I think to myself, these are really well done effects.
- 45:30Like, I love a good practical effect.
- 45:32I love a well done CG effect and I can just think, how did they make that scene happen?
- 45:36How did they do that?
- 45:38Yeah.
- 45:39I love this YouTube channel called corridor effects or corridor digital.
- 45:42Okay.
- 45:43And it's CG guys and they all sit on a couch and they break down scenes from movies and
- 45:49like that.
- 45:50How they were made.
- 45:51And now because I watch them, that's why I hate so many cuts when a fight is going on
- 45:56because now I just can't stop noticing it.
- 45:59So I can kind of remove myself when I think of movies to disgusting and think, okay, this
- 46:04is fake, this is well done, this is well acted.
- 46:07I mean, to an extent, I have no interest in watching like the terrifying movies.
- 46:12All of these articles are like, people are throwing up in the aisles and passing out,
- 46:17watching terrifying or three.
- 46:18Yeah.
- 46:19I'm out.
- 46:20Yeah.
- 46:21I don't want to be, have that stuck in my mind forever.
- 46:25No, I don't want to be scarred for life.
- 46:27And I don't want anything to make me vomit like, same with like the saw movies, with like
- 46:32the moral labor kills.
- 46:33I like reading the articles about them later.
- 46:36Yes.
- 46:37I will read all of the Wikipedia and truth.
- 46:39Yes.
- 46:40I, you said earlier, like I think the scariest movie I ever saw was I was trying to think
- 46:46remember the name of this movie because I had to try to erase it and it really messed
- 46:50me up for a while.
- 46:52I think it's on Netflix still, but it's called the darkness.
- 46:56And it is just a very afraid of the dark horror.
- 47:03And it hits you back to childhood.
- 47:04I hate to be so afraid of the dark, but I was thinking, oh my god.
- 47:07And it really like prays on that.
- 47:09I don't want to spoil it for everyone.
- 47:11But it's so good because it like hits down into some of those childhood fears.
- 47:17I think that you have, and when horror can do that and take you back in time and to
- 47:22it when I was younger, I was so afraid of the final destination movies.
- 47:27Me too.
- 47:28And now I think they're great.
- 47:29I think about it.
- 47:30I think about final destination too.
- 47:32Every single time I see a truck with something in it where there's just iconic.
- 47:38Oh my god.
- 47:39An airplane, a roller coaster, when my friends were like, oh, I just used a tanning bed.
- 47:44I'm like, why would you use a tanning bed?
- 47:45Did you not want to file this?
- 47:46Not just because of cancer, but also.
- 47:48I mean, there's been a person to live, like, there's two girls and the third one.
- 47:53I go to the gym and like that guy's like doing a chest press or something and dies.
- 47:58It's just, oh my god.
- 47:59The movies are so well done.
- 48:01They get a little goofy, but they're very well done.
- 48:03They do.
- 48:04If you didn't know, they're also books and they're also comics as well.
- 48:08So there's a lot of lore around it.
- 48:11If you are like me and you love like a horror movie lore and you want to know what
- 48:18I know all the different pieces of the story and how Freddie got more powers.
- 48:25I've talked about this YouTube channel before, but Seizies World does an amazing job.
- 48:31Text that to me.
- 48:32Breaking it down.
- 48:33And so he actually broke down the entire final destination timeline with the comics,
- 48:39the movies and the books.
- 48:41I have no idea they were comics.
- 48:42That's interesting.
- 48:43I had either until I had seen that and it was really, really interesting.
- 48:47But I think final destination can be so scary because what it's death and death comes from
- 48:53all of us.
- 48:54I mean, eventually spoiler we're all going to die.
- 48:57Hopefully, yeah, hopefully graphic death and death stories.
- 49:00Yeah, you know, only certain teas, only certain teas in life and share.
- 49:04Yeah, she's a vampire though.
- 49:05100%.
- 49:06She looks like exactly the same.
- 49:08So there is this Japanese horror manga series called Uzumaki.
- 49:13I hope I said that correctly.
- 49:15That's how I've been saying it.
- 49:17And it came out in 1998 and it ran through 1999, just in iconic Japanese horror.
- 49:25I feel like you've probably seen this image before of this spiral in this woman's head
- 49:31with her eyeball bulging out.
- 49:33They finally made an anime of it.
- 49:37And horror fans and anime fans have been waiting.
- 49:40Gosh, 1999 to see an anime version of this.
- 49:44It's on two Nami/adults' whim but then also on Netflix.
- 49:49And it is so disturbing.
- 49:52Really?
- 49:53The imagery of it looks like it just hopped right off of the pages of the manga.
- 49:59It looks in it's all in black and white.
- 50:01It looks exactly like you're watching the manga come to life.
- 50:05A manga is like a comic book in Japan for people who are like me.
- 50:09Yes.
- 50:10For people like Olivia.
- 50:11It's a comic book in Japan.
- 50:12You know.
- 50:13Yeah.
- 50:14So I'm gonna pop Uzi Maki but I'm only on episode two.
- 50:19I will admit I did not read the manga so I don't know where it's going.
- 50:22And at this point, the storytelling is very strange and I can't find myself shouting at
- 50:28the television a lot.
- 50:29Just leave.
- 50:30Everything is awful.
- 50:31Just leave the city.
- 50:32Leave this town before you all die.
- 50:36Please get out.
- 50:37Get the fuck out of here.
- 50:41Yeah, I'm there, man.
- 50:42Why are we all staying?
- 50:43I literally something insanely grotesquil happened in the next day through all that school
- 50:48like wasn't that weird that happened to Jimmy yesterday?
- 50:51And I'm like, yeah, that was weird.
- 50:54You should flee the country.
- 50:56You should leave.
- 50:59But I'll pop it.
- 51:00It's very well done so far.
- 51:01So Uzi Maki on Netflix.
- 51:03Okay.
- 51:04I love her pop for now.
- 51:06So as I mentioned, I went to New York.
- 51:10And so that flight from Arizona is quite long.
- 51:13It's about five hours.
- 51:14So I was watching some movies.
- 51:17And if you fly a American, they have a lot of paramount movies.
- 51:20And I actually watched a quiet place day one.
- 51:24Oh, I haven't watched it yet.
- 51:26Was it good?
- 51:27I really, really liked it.
- 51:28I love Tom Khrusse and Ski though and he's not in it.
- 51:30Yeah, well, yeah.
- 51:31Because he died a long time ago.
- 51:34There have been many movies since then.
- 51:36Oh, you're right.
- 51:37They did make a sequel.
- 51:38Yeah.
- 51:39I never mind.
- 51:40I guess I can watch it.
- 51:42Why?
- 51:43The sequel had Killian Murphy in it though.
- 51:46So it's almost an upgrade, you know?
- 51:48I don't know.
- 51:49John Khrusse and Ski's so fine.
- 51:51But he has, Killian Murphy has a beard.
- 51:54I just want to say, he's so bearded.
- 51:56So he's so sexy in it.
- 51:59I'll watch it for the beard.
- 52:00I'll just say it's so good.
- 52:02So the movie, A Quiet Place One, is set in New York City.
- 52:07And I'm flying to New York City.
- 52:10And the opening credits of it, if it's a New York, is average to be at 90 decibels of sound
- 52:20every second, which is equivalent to a human scream.
- 52:25And so that's the first thing you see there, the constant noise that you get loud as hell.
- 52:29And I get there.
- 52:30And you see, you know what's coming because you've seen a Quiet Place if you're watching
- 52:34day one and you're just like, oh God, everyone is gonna die.
- 52:40I need to watch it.
- 52:41And so it kind of goes into that, but I really, really liked it.
- 52:45And you should spoil one thing for me.
- 52:47Okay.
- 52:48And if listeners don't want to hear this spoiler, then just plug your ears for the next 30
- 52:52seconds.
- 52:53I just need to one more.
- 52:54I just need to skip the button.
- 52:55There's the cat live.
- 52:56Yes.
- 52:57All right.
- 52:58Yeah, that's all.
- 52:59I know.
- 53:00I need to, again, the whole time.
- 53:02I was so worried about the cat.
- 53:04I'm like, I can't even, in my real life, I cannot even be near a cat.
- 53:08But I was just like, I can't better not die.
- 53:11And it would be, I have to go like, does the dog die, dot, dot, cause the minute I see a dog
- 53:15in it.
- 53:16And if it does, we have to turn it off.
- 53:18Like, I will close my eyes, like, tell me when it's over.
- 53:23So I would, I would definitely pop that one.
- 53:26Hi.
- 53:27Okay.
- 53:28I'm gonna get that world.
- 53:29Yeah.
- 53:30I think it's worth a watch.
- 53:31I'm gonna go to the quiet place, day one, and Uzumaki, and let us know what you think.
- 53:35And I also want to hear in the comments and in the Facebook support group what your favorite
- 53:40horror movies are and your favorite horror movies, genres.
- 53:44I think it's time for us to jump back on our broomsticks and fly on out of here.
