  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, my name is Justin Greenberg and this is
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Film Reel. Last episode, I was talking with my buddy
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Jonathan about fast food and we didn't talk about movies.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We eventually did get to talk about movies, but I
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: want to break it up into different segments. Something we're trying.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We're always trying new things here on the Film Reel.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: But let's get right back into the conversation at hand.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: That was a half an hour of talking about fast food.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: But you know, we've talked about how we you know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: we like to eat our food while watching the movies,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: So I might as well talk about some movies. And
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I watched some new movies in theaters this past week,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and then Jonathan lent me a DVD of his that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I did end up watching yesterday for a movie called
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Runaway Jerry. So why don't we get to that, and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: then we'll get to the two movies that we did
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: see in theaters that we both saw. I've seen a bunch,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: but these two I know we definitely both saw. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Runaway Jerry I thought was a very very good movie.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: The basic plot is there's a trial taking place because
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a man was murdered by a gun and this woman
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: who's the widow is suing the gun company. And the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: basic plot is there's two I guess law firms and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: they are trying to figure out the jury selection and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: trying to find the right people to get in the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: jury selection. And there's controversy and issues going on with
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the selection of people. And then John Cusack plays a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: character that you're not really sure what his motivation is,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: why does he want to be a part of this,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you know, jury, And eventually at the end we do
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: find out because there is a twist which was put
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on the front of the freaking DVD. It is like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the greatest twist, a surprise twist ending I'm like, thank you,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: thank you for ruining that because I'm just waiting for
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the twist the entire time, which is I don't know
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: why the marketing for that was the way it was.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: But you had a star started cast, as I mentioned
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: John Cusack, but you have two the best actors of
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: all time with Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman, and they
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: have a really good scene in the bathroom, which is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just top tier acting that you really don't get in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: movies anymore. Sure don't do that.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: This is about my witness.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Right, this is about you messing with my client, my case,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and the rules are law that govern our country, in
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: our country.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't figure for a patriot, mister Rorr.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: What we there?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Blatant disregard for the people's right to bear arms? You
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: know the Second Amendment? Is that why you're doing this?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Protect constitution?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Is that? Of course not.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I mean it to win, just like you are, because
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that's what I was hired to do. Everything else is
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: colored bubbles.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Colored bubbles, colored bubbles.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: A system of the calls for twelve people to.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Sit and listen to testimony of witnesses, fella, and that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: includes my witness. The twist is it's nothing crazy. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: didn't think it was anything insane. I guess we could
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: get to what it is because the movie's over twenty
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: years old at this point. So basically, John Cusacks X
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was killed by guns at a high school back in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the day, and the girl's sister is also in on
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: this plot, and basically throughout the movie you're not sure
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: what side they're on, and then at the end you realize, oh,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: they're gonna fuck over the gun company because they tried
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to extort money from them, and you know, they fuck
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: over the gun company because they want revenge on them,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: because I think Gene Hackman's firm defended the gun company
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in a case that they had when that that school
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: shooting took place. So yeah, I mean it's it was
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a very good movie. It's not a typical Justin Greenberg movie.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It's more thought provoking. And you know, like I mentioned
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to you yesterday, they're using terms I'm not familiar with,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and it takes time to understand everything. And also the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: DVD I was watching was fucking it was pitch black.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I couldn't see anything. I think that's part on my TV.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's also DVD is an ancient format and it is
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: what it is. It was still a movie I would
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: definitely recommend watching. So why is it Near and Dear
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to your Heart?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: No, I just I thought it was a very good movie.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Like you said, the twist at the end, which I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: didn't read it on the DVD obviously when I saw it,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: because I probably saw it before I bought the DVD.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But great cast, great story, Jeremy Pivens in that too
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: old school Jeremy Piven, Rachel Wise beautiful.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's a few other people it's the guy
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Orlando Jones. He was the guy who did the seven
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: up ads makes seven up yours. I had that shirt
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I got fucking I had to take it off in
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: sixth grade because it says up yours on the back. YEP.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I got it from a store Cooast called Tease Me
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: at Roosevelt Field Mall. You know they sold T shirts. Okay,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm the guy who makes seven up. I also write
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the avatars, and I just came up with a great
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: news slogan, makes seven up yours, make seven.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Up yo us.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Dude, these guys that you're like, Okay, that guy's gonna
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: be a megastar, Like he's going to be the next
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy. He's in the movie Evolution, which is another
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: really underrated sci fi comedy Ghostbusters esque, and he's doing
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: movies and TV shows and commercials and then he hasn't
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: done any twenty five years. Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: No, I just it's that's my type of movie.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I like the thriller type of you know what's going on?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Are they going to get away with it? Are they
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: not going to get away with it? It's that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: So the whole thing with that was the guy whoever
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: got fired or whatever, walked into his office and shot
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: everybody up. That's how it opens up. And then actually
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: it was uh, Dylan McDermott was always been that died shot. Yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: So that's just my type of movie. I like that,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: And I supposedly it was the first time that somebody
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: actually went after the gun company as opposed to the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: person who actually shot the people, So that was the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: big thing about it. And then, like you said, Gene
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Hackman works for a company where they try to figure
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: out because the whole part of jury selection is you want,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: obviously people who are going to side with you, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the way that they figure that out is really crazy.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: It's not just one thing, it's are they married, are
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: they divorced? You know, have they ever had issues with
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the cops? Do they like to hunt? Are they totally
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: against guns? Things like that. So they're putting in like
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: all this information to figure out who they want on
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the jury, and then who the other side wants on.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And then you have a certain number of I don't
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: know what they call it, not an objection, but you
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: can basically just get rid of somebody, so you have
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: like five each. So if I know, you really want
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: this person on the jury and I don't I'm gonna
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: kick them off. But you also got to make sure
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: you use your objections properly. You don't want to get
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: caught at the end where you don't have any and
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: they have a couple left.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: So it's actually insane, and it's very ignorant of me
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: because I'm not the brightest man when it comes to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: certain things. I can tell you every WrestleMania main event
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: like this. I had no idea that this was a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: thing that happens. They're like, you know, it's like picking
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: basketball team, like I pick Haim. I just thought they
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: picked whomever. I didn't know there was a whole process,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: so that goes along. I pretty much found out. I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: think the other movie, the McConaughey movies they talk about.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: That probably probably I feel like that was the.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: First time I was like, oh, there's like a selection process.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It yeah, like a draft of sorts.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I like court law movies, you know, like cop movies,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: but also with the court process of it to not
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: just straight up cops off.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: There was very little, uh, there's very little about the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: actual court case, A lot less than what I thought
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: there'd be. It was more about the jury selection and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all of that, and again another spoiler, it does have
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a satisfying ending, which would have been upsetting if you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the gun company got away with it, So I'm glad
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they went that route. Every now and then, I do
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: like a twisted, dark sort of ending, but I was
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: just kept on waiting for that twist, like what is
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the twist going to be?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: But it's also really cool how John Cusack does certain
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: things to manipulate certain things, like, uh, he says something
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: to the bailiff and then makes them have lunch at
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the restaurant where the judge is going to be and
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: then they're talking to them and that it's not supposed
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: to happen and things like that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He just I thought, I thought it was a well
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: done movie.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's playing he's playing uh Gene Hackman's character who's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like the evil you know, for the for the gun
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: company and sort of playing him for a fool. And
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and like you said, there's there's there's just great moments
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: throughout the movie and uh, definitely, uh a movie I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: would recommend. And I'm glad you rented it or rather
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: let me borrow it. So uh, I'm gonna have to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: lend you one of my weird, uh disturbing eighties movies
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: as a as you know, payback, yeah, payback of sorts
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: like damn sure, you don't underestimate me for health.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Somebody got to that girl.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: He's a hard job to protect.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: There's only so much.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I can do, all right, I can't protect you.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I want you to find her. I want you to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: container you're losing me, my journey.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You have destroying all those people's lash anyone.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Know, we don't have anything yet.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to the two movies that we did
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: see in theaters, and now we'll let's start with one
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of my favorites of all time, and that would be
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Flight Risk with the great Mark Wahlberg. And I love
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg, and I like Mel Gibson as a director,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and these two coming together, you just knew you were
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: gonna get absolute gold. And that is what we got
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: with Flight Risk and delivered on every By the way,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I'm completely making all of this up. This was one
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of the most random films that I think I've seen
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in theaters, mainly because Mel Gibson is such a good director.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You know, he's made some of the best movies of
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the last thirty years, and he's relegated to making something
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that would have been a direct to DVD type of movie.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: It felt so low budget itself. You know, you get
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg, who's an A list star. I think he's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: doing this as a favor for mel Gibson, is what
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gathering. You know, I don't know why he would
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: choose to do this generic, horribly acted, horribly scripted, low
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: budget esque type movie. Still had a you know, a
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: thirty million dollar budget, which is not crazy amount, but
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it's not like, you know, a three million, four million
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: dollar film. It just just an absolute disaster of a film.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: But I had actual fun while watching it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I want to know what they spend thirty million dollars on,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: because the whole thing took place in a in a
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: not even a good plane.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: No, like a little shitty two seater, a pond hopper.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I think Mark Wahlberg gets at least ten
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: million dollars, Okay, I think you know, Gibson gets a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: decent chunk of change for directing the movie.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Tofer Grace probably still got paid a couple million.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe two or three million. And then you know
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: there are special effects in there, but nothing stands out
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: as far as you know. Oh my god, this this
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: scene must have cost ten million dollars just to make. So.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: The basic plot of this movie is is to for
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Grace's character is I guess a witness to something that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: He's an accountant for mob That's what it was, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: he was skimming money and he.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Has to take a flight I guess from alasque.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Hut in Alaska in some ran down hotel motel by
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the way.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: The moose or whatever it was in the beginning, Oh,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: it was like horrible cgi And Jackie said, I'm like,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: that wasn't a real moose. She's like, no, it's terrible,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: like a I don't know.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of the reindeer in the Santa Claus
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: with Tim Allen. I was like, you're starting your movie
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: over of this. Yeah, so you know, tofer Grace is
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: this witness. A cop gets on a plane with him
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and Mark Wahlberg who's the pilot, and Mark Wahlberg ends
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: up being somebody that's not actually the pilot that they thought, and.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: He's hit me with them, yeah, with the.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Mafia, and he has to go kill I guess everyone
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: involved with this and there's you know, there is some
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: tension there on the plane, and you know, just based
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: on the trailer alone, which is unfortunate that there is
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: this twist of sorts where Mark Wahlberg isn't a good guy.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: We need him may day, may day, we've been compromised.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: The pilot's a hitman. Oh the time little pieces, then
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the entire Forensis team to identify you.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Eventually they subdue Mark Wahlberg, but then they have to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: figure out how to land this plane. So it's, you know,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a cliche sort of story that we've seen from time
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to time where they're calling into air traffic control trying
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to land the plane. But nothing
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of this movie was good. But like I said, I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: had fun with it. It wasn't boring. Out of all
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the movies that we've seen throughout this last year and
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a half or so, there's been movies that are just
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: boring and you know, you're never gonna watch it again,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and there was nothing to enjoy. This I thought was
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: one of those movies that was so kind of bad
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: at times. And Mark Wahlberg with his ridiculous haircut and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: his stupid accent in his one liners and it's something
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that was very nineteen ninety five ish, like just a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: shitty nineties sort of movie that I had some at
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: least enjoyment with it. I know what I was watching
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: was terrible. It was not a good movie. I couldn't
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: recommend it to people. But I didn't hate my life
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: after watching it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: And it was quick, thank god, it was only an
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: hour and a half. But I heard that that was
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: his idea to shave his head like that too, which
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I thought was super weird.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know what the strategy there was, but
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: definitely one of the worst movies of the year, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: probably in the running for top ten worst movies of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the year. Well, I have my number one worst movie
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of the year, and that is Presence. Yeah, because at
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: least Flight Risk you had the funniness, the awkwardness, the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: one liners, the corniness. With presents, you pretty much had nothing. No,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: this is a ghost story that was marketed as the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: scariest movie of all time, and the reviews were pretty
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: solid for the critics. So I'm going into this with
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: high expectations, and maybe that's my fault, and maybe that's why,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: also why I was very disappointed with this movie. But
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: pretty much nothing happens for the entirety of the movie.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The ghost involved in this ghost story isn't an evil ghost.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The ghost is somebody trying to warn a family about,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: you know, a boyfriend of sorts, and nothing happens, nothing happens,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: nothing happens, nothing happens. The boyfriend tries to drug and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: murder this girl out of nowhere. He's horribly acting throughout this,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you know, hamming it up, saying the whole plot in
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: front of nobody. He's just like, I like to do
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: this because mother wouldn't let me do things. And he's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: talking to nobody, and then the ghost wakes up the brother,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and the brother tackles the boyfriend out the window and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: they die, and that's it. I just smiled the entire movie.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I don't give a shit because nothing happened for an
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: hour and twenty minutes, and then five minutes you get
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: everything happening, and it's not exciting and it's not scary,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and it's just a cheap movie. Literally, it costs three
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: million dollars to make.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Ah. Yeah, you said they made it in like three
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: weeks too, right, Yep?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: It was I think eleven days.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It all takes place in the house.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It's all first person point of view, so you don't
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: have to have any crazy setup shots because it's all,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you know, a first person, shaky sort of camera thing.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the one thing I actually didn't mind.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I thought that was it was different.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: It's kind of cool, like you're looking from the ghost perspective.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: But like you said, everything else about the movie was terrible.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know who could have watched that movie and
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: build it as a horror or a suspense or a
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: scary movie, because, like you said, there wasn't one jump scare,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: there wasn't anything. The scenes how they did that as well.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: You watched the scene the screen turned black and then
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: it was a completely different scene. It wasn't even like
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: you were watching a movie. It was like you were
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: watching thirty scenes that were just like put together.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, acting was terrible.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Nothing good with the what's her name, Lucy Lou Right, Yeah,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I usually think she's pretty good.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I thought she was terrible.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Well, how many takes could they have done? And it's like, oh,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you have one take because yeah it's you have filming
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: this in eleven days for whatever reason, and it's not
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: one of those movies where you're like, oh, that wasn't scary. No,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: it's it's like legitimately it's it's not even trying to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: be scary. No, at least I don't think so.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: No. Like the one cool thing was like when the
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: ghosts moved the books off of her bed like to
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: the desk, But it wasn't scary. It was just like, oh,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: it's cool, it's moving over there or whatever. We're like
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the stuff in the closet that fell down. I guess
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: that was supposed to be scary, but you knew it
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: was gonna come.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: It just yeah, it wasn't good at all. Like both
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: the movies we just talked about, flight Risk and Presence
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: were not good. But I would watch flight Risk twenty
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: more times before I watched Presence once.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how bad.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: That's a fact right there. I think if you did
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: get drunk and watch Flight Risk and just laughed at
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: how stupid it was, you could have some fun with it.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: There's nothing that you could do with Presents. And it's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: so shocking because I've talked to two of my friends
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that do have good tastes in movies, and they both
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: said Presence was good I'm like, what what are we
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: watching here? It's just it is what it is. You know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: people have different tastes. I mean, we have different tastes
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: in movies, so I can't get angry at them. But
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: it's just just fascinated what I did. I did not
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: get into it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Like I actually don't even care what they think was
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: good about it because I hate it.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I will talk to one of the kids, Uh, he
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: actually works here at the radio station. I'll ask him,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I've had him on the show before. Maybe
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I'll have him back on to to claim his case
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and let me know why he thought the movie was good.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: But there's so many better horror movies out there. I mean,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: like you said, I wouldn't eve classify this as a
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: horror movie, so I would definitely pass on Presence. I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: still probably would pass on Flight Risk. And if you know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: if you want to rent Runaway, Jerry, definitely do that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: instead of those movies. That's going to do it for
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: this edition of Film Real. We will get back next
• 17:58
