#329: The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018) · What's Your (Least) Favorite Scary Movie?

• 0:06
  Hello, what's your least favorite scary movie?
• 0:10
  Why not Welcome to What's Your Least Favorite Scary Movie?
• 0:14
  The podcast where we talk about the good, the bad, the ugly and
• 0:17
  the absurd, and all of our favorite and least favorite
• 0:20
  scary movies. Because we believe every horror
• 0:22
  movie rightfully has its fan base.
• 0:23
  Even if we don't always get it. My name's Travis, my name's
• 0:26
  Jesse, and welcome to a live five episode.
• 0:32
  If you've ever tuned into one of our live episodes before, you
• 0:35
  know how this is going to go. If you haven't, then well, all
• 0:39
  you need to know is we're not doing our normal edits.
• 0:41
  So if we sound a little funny and like we could have probably
• 0:44
  polished up our recording, we just didn't have the time.
• 0:49
  And that kind of leads me into my announcements.
• 0:51
  I want to say thank you to everybody that's reached out to
• 0:53
  us via social media and our our other methods of contact.
• 0:59
  I am recovering from surgery decently well.
• 1:02
  It was a little bit more complicated.
• 1:07
  March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, so I'm just going to go
• 1:11
  ahead and share some of this information.
• 1:13
  This is my second laparoscopic surgery to remove some
• 1:17
  endometriosis issues that I've been having.
• 1:20
  I've had some other health issues that have been going on
• 1:23
  for several months now, some of them related to endometriosis,
• 1:26
  some of them, I don't know, kind of unknown.
• 1:29
  But this was a lot more extensive than my last
• 1:32
  laparoscopic surgery was. And I had some complications
• 1:36
  after the surgery. Travis was literally like
• 1:39
  pulling the car up to Take Me Home.
• 1:42
  And I had a bleeding issue, developed a hematoma, had to
• 1:45
  stay overnight, my first overnight stay in a hospital.
• 1:48
  So all that's to say, I really appreciate everybody taking the
• 1:53
  time to reach out. That's part of the reason we're
• 1:55
  doing this live recording tonight is just because the
• 1:57
  recovery process has been a lot more intense than what we
• 2:01
  respect, what we expected. It's been this is honestly the
• 2:05
  most I've spoken in like an uninterrupted stream in weeks
• 2:10
  like a week and I haven't been able.
• 2:11
  To get anything out of her. Yeah, it's.
• 2:13
  Been miserable. Yeah, it's, it's been a couple
• 2:16
  of sentences here and there and then I have to stop and breathe
• 2:18
  really hard. I'm kidding, I have.
• 2:20
  I also want to make a note, we're out in our living room
• 2:23
  right now, so we have pets. So you heard Jingling right out
• 2:25
  the gate because Talia was scratching, and you're going to
• 2:27
  hear Cordelia meowing because she's a hungry cat right now.
• 2:30
  And I feel Scout purring on my foot.
• 2:33
  She's right underneath your microphone.
• 2:34
  If she gets real excited it might get picked up on the mic
• 2:36
  too. Yeah, so and expect pets, you
• 2:39
  know, they're, they're part of the show too.
• 2:41
  They're going to be more of a vocal part of the show this time
• 2:43
  around. The normal.
• 2:44
  Yep, they sure are. So that that's it for
• 2:46
  announcements. That's it for, well, one more
• 2:48
  announcement because we have had a few people ask.
• 2:51
  I know Scream 7 recently came out in theaters and we've kind
• 2:54
  of talked this over because, you know, the plan was always when
• 2:57
  we knew Scream 7 was coming, that we would eventually cover
• 2:59
  it. Spyglass has kind of showed
• 3:03
  their full ass throughout the whole production and marketing
• 3:06
  of it, but we also still have a lot of respect for the creative
• 3:11
  people involved in it and we have a lot of love for the
• 3:15
  series as a whole. We have not watched it yet.
• 3:19
  We do plan on seeing it at some point once it's released on home
• 3:23
  media, we will cover it. But because of some of the icky
• 3:27
  feelings we have about some of the decisions by glasses made,
• 3:31
  we're going to look up some charities to donate to when we
• 3:34
  do cover it. So that that's our plan with
• 3:37
  that, just to kind of give us the chance to talk about it as a
• 3:42
  piece of art that has meaning to us and to a lot of people, while
• 3:46
  also acknowledging that we do not love all of the people that
• 3:48
  were involved in it. Yeah.
• 3:50
  So all right, that's it for announcements.
• 3:53
  OK. So now we're going to go ahead
• 3:55
  and start talking about the movie.
• 3:56
  Yeah, it's something you're familiar with, The Strangers.
• 3:59
  Yes, so we covered the first strangers for Travis's birthday.
• 4:04
  That was his birthday pick. Was that my birthday?
• 4:06
  It was. Huh.
• 4:07
  Yeah. OK, You were, you were like,
• 4:09
  you've been waiting for the right time and it felt like the
• 4:11
  right time finally. Yeah, it feels about right.
• 4:14
  Yeah, it feels about right. I thought I would have picked
• 4:16
  something a little bit weirder, but OK.
• 4:17
  Yeah, I was. I was just really glad you
• 4:19
  didn't pick New York Ripper. It's going to happen one day.
• 4:22
  I, I just, you know, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but
• 4:25
  that is going to be a movie eventually.
• 4:27
  That's a great movie. Jesse, I don't understand your
• 4:29
  problem. All right, go ahead.
• 4:32
  Anyway, Anyway, I think it was always kind of unspoken between
• 4:35
  us that I would eventually be the one to pull the trigger on
• 4:37
  Strangers Prey at night. Yeah.
• 4:39
  And after watching the new trilogy in theaters and still
• 4:46
  consistently weeks later being like, also, you know what, I
• 4:51
  figured it was time for us to go ahead and talk about strangers
• 4:53
  pray at night. Cuz we will eventually get into
• 4:56
  that. The new trilogy too.
• 4:58
  But we're not doing them as you know, our typical kind of like
• 5:01
  flagship franchise, you know, the way we, we're currently
• 5:04
  going through Final destination and way we've gone through like
• 5:07
  screams on Halloween, all of that.
• 5:09
  So that's, that's why we're doing Strangers Pray at night.
• 5:11
  Yeah. So Strangers Pray at night
• 5:13
  released March 9th, 2018. Happy almost birthday to this
• 5:18
  movie. We watched it on our Blu-ray,
• 5:21
  but as of right now, you can stream it on You can also that's

  This was written by Brian Bertino and Ben Kitai, directed
• 5:38
  by Johannes Roberts, music by Adrian Johnston and special
• 5:42
  effects makeup supervisor was Becky Ingram.
• 5:45
  Can can I ask a question? Do you know if Brian Bertino
• 5:49
  actually wrote part of this or is it just characters?
• 5:53
  I'm pretty sure he actually wrote part of it, but I can look
• 5:56
  it up real. Quick, I don't know if he he
• 5:57
  might have I I may have I I don't think he did, but yeah, I
• 6:02
  could be wrong. It's yeah.
• 6:03
  Whenever I saw his name on the credits here, I was a little bit
• 6:07
  surprised. But I, you know, I mean, like,
• 6:09
  maybe. Yeah.
• 6:11
  I thought he was done with it. I'm.
• 6:12
  Pulling it up real quick, real quick, real quick.
• 6:15
  Yeah, no, he's got like a full written by credit on this.
• 6:18
  Wow OK, good for him. I'm glad that it came from
• 6:21
  someone true to the the series here.
• 6:23
  That's Cordelia. Yeah, Cordelia, she's really
• 6:25
  jingly right now, like. You guys are an hour until
• 6:28
  dinner time. You're going to hear her a lot,
• 6:30
  unfortunately. We're going to pause here in a
• 6:31
  little while to feed them, but yeah.
• 6:33
  For it will get worse before it gets better, yeah.
• 6:36
  Starring Christina Hendricks as Cindy Martin Henderson as Mike
• 6:42
  Bailey, Madison as Kinzie Lewis Pullman as Luke, Damien Mafel as
• 6:49
  Man in the Mask. Man in the mask.
• 6:51
  I told you you'd be upset when? You were the other names.
• 6:55
  And Bellamy is doll face, yeah. Doll face.
• 6:58
  Leah Enslin is pinup. Pinup.
• 7:00
  Yeah, so. He did not get back head, he did
• 7:02
  not get sack head. He is man in the mask.
• 7:04
  What was what was the credit in the original 1 again, We're
• 7:08
  we're having to do I'm I'm pulling this.
• 7:09
  One now, OK. This is stupid.
• 7:11
  I you were. Right.
• 7:12
  Yeah, I when I wrote that down, I was like, oh, you're gonna be
• 7:14
  pissed at something. I'm gonna tell you when you
• 7:15
  record. Be the exact same thing.
• 7:17
  Let me see. It's man in the mask.
• 7:20
  And that too, Yeah, I think did. We not discuss that.
• 7:23
  I'm sure we did, it's been a while.
• 7:24
  OK, you didn't even remember it was on your birthday, so.
• 7:27
  Yeah, exactly. OK, it's time for our favorite
• 7:30
  game on the show. Budget or?
• 7:32
  Bug. Ted.
• 7:34
  I think this is bug Ted. In fact, it is.
• 7:38
  Yeah, to the tune of about 5 mil.
• 7:41
  OK, so like halfway from bug Ted to budget.
• 7:44
  Yeah, OK. That's not bad you.
• 7:46
  Know if we ever like make a movie and become big, I want
• 7:50
  that to be the title of our joint memoir.
• 7:53
  I thought that that would be. Halfway from Bug Ted to budget.
• 7:59
  Opening box office was 10 million.
• 8:01
  Worldwide gross was 31 million. IMDb score 5.3 out of 10.
• 8:05
  Dear God how I wish I had the IMDb score of this before the
• 8:09
  new trilogy came out. What was the IMDb?
• 8:11
  5.3. OK, cool.
• 8:12
  Yeah. You know, I'm really happy that
• 8:14
  it had. It had a better box office than
• 8:16
  I expected because I remember when we went to go see us, we
• 8:19
  were the only two people in the theater.
• 8:21
  Yeah, I remember. It actually made a really cool
• 8:23
  viewing experience for this type of movie, but I was kind of
• 8:25
  worried for it. Was that before we started Just
• 8:28
  Go going on like Sunday matinees to avoid crowds in general?
• 8:32
  I don't remember. Honestly, I couldn't remember my
• 8:35
  birthday. Jesse, come on.
• 8:36
  That's true. That's true.
• 8:38
  Old old man Travis over here. That's right.
• 8:40
  OK, I've got 3 movies from 2018. OK.
• 8:44
  And the theme is family. Family, Family.
• 8:49
  OK, first one, hereditary. OK.
• 8:52
  All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:54
  Released June 8th, 2018. Budget of 10 million worldwide
• 8:58
  gross of 90,000,007.3 out of 10 on IMDb.
• 9:02
  Someday, when we feel like being a bunch of fucking bummers and
• 9:06
  having a heavy week, we will cover.
• 9:08
  It I was just thinking like, I want to talk.
• 9:10
  I've thought about that movie so many times, but I've been like
• 9:12
  it, It's a downer. It's a but we've talked about so
• 9:15
  many Downers and we've had such a fun time with it.
• 9:17
  That's true. I think we have a fun time with
• 9:19
  that one. I think I've contemplated the.
• 9:21
  Problem with that? That one is Toni Collette does
• 9:23
  too good a fucking job. It's really upsetting.
• 9:26
  It's been a long time since we've watched it in general,
• 9:27
  actually. I think we need to make.
• 9:28
  It's such a good movie make. A change to that.
• 9:30
  OK, second movie A Quiet Place. OK.
• 9:37
  Yay, I'm glad you did it. So Quiet Place released April
• 9:42
  6th, 2018. Budget is $70 million. 70. 17 OK
• 9:50
  Worldwide gross 340,000,002. 140.
• 9:56
  Damn IMDV score of 7.5 out of 10.
• 10:00
  You know what, people? I respect that you guys love
• 10:03
  that franchise so much. That movie especially, I thought
• 10:06
  it was fun. I just, I don't understand why
• 10:09
  it was such a big thing. My mom and my little sister have
• 10:12
  gone to see every single one of them in theaters when they come
• 10:15
  out, and I just. Don't care.
• 10:18
  It's like. Especially when the second one
• 10:19
  got announced, I was like why? Why did we have to have?
• 10:22
  Her response was it's kind of the same as she is with like
• 10:25
  zombie movies where her interest is more in like human nature and
• 10:28
  being together in like an apocalypse ending type of event
• 10:32
  is that. She explained it to me when.
• 10:33
  I was like, I don't get it. That's not what I like about
• 10:35
  zombie movies. I like zombies in zombie movies.
• 10:39
  3rd movie, another feel bad movie incident in a ghost land.
• 10:45
  That's a really good movie though.
• 10:47
  I remember watching it and I think it was the same day.
• 10:49
  Funny enough to tie this back to this movie, because Johannes
• 10:52
  Roberts, I think we watched it the same day.
• 10:55
  We watched 48 Meters Down. Probably.
• 10:58
  And it just, I remember, like, it was kind of whiplash.
• 11:00
  And then we took Tally for a walk around the apartment
• 11:03
  complex. Yeah, that, that's a really good
• 11:04
  movie. It is a heavy movie, yeah.
• 11:06
  I recommend people check it out if you've never seen it.
• 11:09
  So Incident in a Ghost Land released June 22nd 2018, my
• 11:14
  older sister's birthday. I don't have a budget for it,
• 11:18
  but it did make worldwide gross of 5.6 million and has an IMDb
• 11:22
  score of 6.4 out of 10. Yeah, cool.
• 11:24
  I like that. I got 3 tag lines, one of them
• 11:29
  not really a tackling. OK, based on true events.
• 11:33
  Yep, that's that. OK, that's what I thought.
• 11:38
  Do the IHOP move for you? The main one on the poster.
• 11:43
  Let us pray. Let us pray.
• 11:47
  Oh, OK. Like pray at night.
• 11:49
  I gotcha. Never underestimate the kindness
• 11:54
  of strangers, OK? Honestly, Punch up.
• 11:59
  Never overestimate the kindness of strangers.
• 12:02
  Overestimate. Yeah.
• 12:05
  I I like both. I think they're both pretty
• 12:07
  good. OK, I've got a few fun facts.
• 12:10
  Yeah, So this is originally set to start principal photography
• 12:16
  in 2009 with Laurent Brett and Muriel Lang Langenleger.
• 12:25
  We're supposed to direct. OK.
• 12:31
  Direction was eventually given to Johannes Robertson.
• 12:33
  Filming started in May 2017 after a quote UN quote troubled
• 12:37
  development period. So I got several of these
• 12:40
  development periods. In 2010, it was reported that
• 12:44
  Relative Relativity Media shelved The Stranger's Part 2,
• 12:48
  which is just kind of its working title at the time, as
• 12:51
  not in their best interest, even though Universal was already
• 12:54
  like committed and willing to distribute it.
• 12:58
  Yeah, that thing, that's dumb. I'm going to look it up, but I
• 13:01
  remember the first one doing really well.
• 13:03
  Yeah, Rogue Pictures then confirmed in January of 2011
• 13:08
  that it was back in production. Made 82,000,000 by the way.
• 13:12
  Sorry, go. Ahead, it was going to be about
• 13:16
  a family of four that got evicted from their homes due to
• 13:19
  troubles with the economy. Liv Tyler then stated that Part
• 13:23
  2 was set for a 2014 release just in an interview somewhere
• 13:28
  talking about it. In 2015, Relativity Media and GK
• 13:32
  Film scheduled a December 2nd, 2016 release, which was later
• 13:37
  removed from the schedule. Eventually, Johannes Roberts met
• 13:42
  the producers of 47 Meters Down, which he directed both of those
• 13:46
  and the recent Primate. If anybody is not familiar with
• 13:51
  his work, if you don't know, now you know.
• 13:52
  Yeah. So he met with the producers of
• 13:54
  47 Meters Down. They gave him the script for
• 13:57
  Prey at Night, and he enjoyed it, and he decided he wanted to
• 14:01
  get involved. It ended up being filmed in
• 14:04
  Covington, Falmouth and Cincinnati.
• 14:07
  Yeah, yeah. It's right in our neck of the
• 14:09
  woods. It's immediately noticeable to
• 14:10
  us because, you know, we're from the area here, so we've seen
• 14:13
  that skyline many times. And it honestly, it felt really
• 14:16
  nice. March is kind of a bittersweet
• 14:18
  time year. We've got a lot of birthdays in
• 14:22
  the family, a lot of good things going on.
• 14:24
  Springtime is starting to want to come out, but it is also the
• 14:30
  the man who raised me for all intents and purposes, my dad.
• 14:34
  He his birthday was in March and the anniversary of his death is
• 14:38
  in March. So opening up on that Cincinnati
• 14:40
  skyline, like it just kind of felt like a really good way to
• 14:43
  open this month for me. I.
• 14:44
  Hadn't even considered. That, yeah, 'cause I like, I
• 14:46
  still sometimes when we're taking Talia to appointments,
• 14:49
  like I want to take a picture of the skyline and send it to him,
• 14:52
  'cause that's what I always did. And it's like even two years
• 14:54
  later, like, I'm sitting here having to be like, no, you, you
• 14:57
  can't. OK, So those are all my fun
• 15:01
  facts, which means we're good to talk about our good, bad, ugly
• 15:05
  and absurd, OK? And because I just did a lot of
• 15:07
  talking, you get to start us off.
• 15:09
  Hey, OK, I can do that. So all right, I mean, I think
• 15:12
  this is AI needed this movie after watching the newest
• 15:17
  trilogy, like, I needed to go back and watch a good one.
• 15:20
  Yeah, like, and it's not even that, it's just I wanted to
• 15:24
  like, it was nice to see a sequel to the original, like
• 15:27
  actually do it the way I feel like it needs to be done.
• 15:30
  Yeah. But you know what?
• 15:32
  We'll, we'll save. I'm sure we'll talk about those
• 15:34
  movies a little bit throughout this, but I don't want that to
• 15:37
  be the main focus of what I'm talking about with this.
• 15:39
  Movie and I'm just going to go ahead and do a quick plug for
• 15:41
  our Patreon. If you're a budget tier patron,
• 15:43
  you have the ability to access all of our past bonus episodes.
• 15:47
  One of those was a review of a miniature review of Stranger.
• 15:52
  Yeah, not a full one, but yeah, we did talk about it the first
• 15:55
  chapter 1 whenever we did that. So yeah, you can check that out.
• 15:59
  But pray at night. I I like it.
• 16:01
  I like it because it understands the characters.
• 16:04
  And the thing about this series is those three, like if you fuck
• 16:10
  up how to do them, they just are not interesting to watch.
• 16:14
  They understood how to do these characters in this movie.
• 16:17
  Like they're just stalking around.
• 16:19
  They're hanging in the back. They are really brutal, but they
• 16:23
  like to fuck with people. And I feel like I hear I am
• 16:28
  talking about that movie again, but like, that's something that
• 16:30
  we didn't get in this newer 1. So I'm really happy that it
• 16:32
  happened in this one. I mean, that was the thing that
• 16:35
  I really loved about the first one was just that, Oh my God.
• 16:38
  OK, hold on a second. Sorry about that.
• 16:42
  Sorry, we we Cordelia decided she was not going to let us wait
• 16:45
  until dinner time. And it was it was going to get
• 16:47
  even worse. She said it was her turn to
• 16:49
  talk. Yeah, OK, so all of the
• 16:51
  characters, I love the stalking, I love the killing.
• 16:55
  They're just creepy again. And you know, and I like it, you
• 16:58
  know, it's really entertaining. I think the soundtrack in this
• 17:00
  movie is also really banging. Yes.
• 17:03
  It like this movie, I feel like it has like an 80s aesthetic to
• 17:06
  it. So they lean really hard into it
• 17:08
  with the camera shots. Like we've got it on right now
• 17:11
  while we're doing since we're in the living room.
• 17:13
  And they do a lot of like those cool slow zooms and stuff like
• 17:15
  that. And there's a lot of neon
• 17:17
  lighting and just the, the overall vibe of the movie, it
• 17:20
  just feels like it was made in the 80s or something.
• 17:26
  And I mean, that's pretty much it.
• 17:27
  I also like that it's a short movie because, you know, this
• 17:30
  doesn't need to be something super drawn out.
• 17:32
  You know, it's straight and to the point and it's just a lot of
• 17:35
  fun. Yeah, like you said, we have it
• 17:36
  on right now and it's like we're about to like get straight to
• 17:41
  the action. Yeah, and it doesn't take long.
• 17:43
  It's not some kind of, like, contrived thing to like, get
• 17:45
  here. Like it's just they go to a
• 17:47
  trailer park, these people like to fuck with random people.
• 17:49
  They happen to find them and they get fucked with.
• 17:52
  Yeah. That's it.
• 17:53
  Yeah. And so for me, again, I have to
• 17:56
  agree with you. The soundtrack is phenomenal.
• 18:00
  I love that like since poppy stuff that they have going on
• 18:04
  kids in America, we were talking about this when when the movie
• 18:07
  first starts because it is like such a weird kind of like
• 18:11
  discordant beginning to the song.
• 18:13
  And I was like, it always sounds spooky, which they added some
• 18:15
  extra stuff over top of it. But the song itself does have
• 18:19
  like a weird where you're like, wait, are we are we are we
• 18:21
  happy? Are we not happy?
• 18:22
  I can't tell. Well, not only that mean that
• 18:25
  just also gives them credit for like adding their own creepy
• 18:28
  flavor to it. Yeah.
• 18:29
  And I would say that the scene with total eclipse of the Heart
• 18:33
  in the pool where like we've got a sound fading in and out,
• 18:36
  that's like probably a top 20 scene in horror for me.
• 18:39
  Oh yeah, it's really cool. It's a really great moment.
• 18:42
  Yeah, it's just, it's great, like you said, the the story
• 18:46
  doesn't get in the way the plot too much.
• 18:48
  It just really gets moving. I think we have some some good
• 18:52
  heart in it and I think it doesn't meander too much except
• 18:58
  for maybe a little bit at the end, but we'll get to that in a
• 19:00
  minute. But, and I, I've said this
• 19:01
  before, I understand that for a lot of people this is such a
• 19:04
  drastic tonal shift from the first one.
• 19:07
  But I kind of like that we have a strangers for both moods
• 19:11
  because the first strangers it is not like for me anyway, it's
• 19:15
  not a light hearted put on casually in the background that.
• 19:20
  Is that for me? Yeah, that's what I was going to
• 19:22
  do. That's why I, I, I clarify, I
• 19:24
  had that for me. Yeah, cuz it's one, it makes me
• 19:27
  really tense. I know it's one of the ones that
• 19:29
  my mom always cites like one of her top scariest movies she's
• 19:33
  ever seen cuz it's just so tense the whole time.
• 19:36
  And I think it's great and phenomenal.
• 19:37
  But that does make it one of those who like it's work for me
• 19:41
  to watch this one. I don't feel the same way.
• 19:43
  I feel like they still, we still have the strangers, they still
• 19:45
  fuck around a lot, but it's got a little bit more of a fun side
• 19:49
  to it, the tone. Yeah, the tone is different
• 19:52
  because I mean, if you really put these two movies like side
• 19:54
  by side, it's like people like convening after some kind of
• 19:59
  really weirdly awkward tragedy happened and we don't
• 20:03
  interpersonal full. Context.
• 20:05
  We just have enough like instead of like a denied proposal.
• 20:09
  It's like, hey daughter, we're shipping you off.
• 20:12
  The strangers is built on awkward setups.
• 20:15
  Like you have to like if you are like alone in a getaway with
• 20:19
  your like significant other and something really fucking awkward
• 20:23
  happens, just be prepared for somebody to knock on your door
• 20:26
  because that's how you know you're going to start.
• 20:27
  Strangers movie. Yeah, exactly.
• 20:30
  OK, all right. Bad.
• 20:32
  So I guess one of the things about this one is it almost
• 20:37
  feels kind of soap opery a little bit whenever it gets the
• 20:40
  dialogue between the sister and the brother.
• 20:42
  It just man, it's like the stereotypical.
• 20:47
  Come on, sis. Yeah, sis.
• 20:50
  Yeah, it's just like, there's just something to it.
• 20:52
  It's really cheesy, but, you know, like, I really, you know,
• 20:55
  it doesn't have to be strong dialogue for me.
• 20:57
  Like, that's not like a huge knock for me, but it is enough
• 21:03
  for me to like notice it and be like, this is kind of him here
• 21:06
  right now, you know? Yeah.
• 21:08
  I mean, yeah. It's the dialogue really.
• 21:12
  And like the the actors are good enough.
• 21:14
  I mean, we have the fucking dude from X here.
• 21:17
  Yeah, that. I can't remember his name.
• 21:19
  Martin Henderson. Martin Henderson, Yeah, yeah,
• 21:21
  he's really good. He's a great actor.
• 21:23
  The brother, he just, he reminds me, he gives me Peter Malark
• 21:28
  vibes, and not just because we watched Hunger Games earlier,
• 21:32
  but because like, there's just something about him.
• 21:34
  Like he's just a nice boy. And yeah, he's a good, good
• 21:39
  talker. I think for me, like I
• 21:43
  understand that a movie has to be of certain length.
• 21:48
  I do feel like the ending gets drawn out just a little bit.
• 21:53
  We do get some points for like that nod to like horror movie
• 21:58
  classics a la Halloween and Texas Chainsaw of her jumping
• 22:01
  into the back of the truck and pushing him out.
• 22:04
  I do feel like the ending just goes on a tick too long.
• 22:08
  It's a little absurd. Yeah, Yeah.
• 22:10
  I mean, I think that might be one of my absurds.
• 22:12
  Yeah, what is your ugly? You know, that's a great
• 22:20
  question. I I didn't really write anything
• 22:23
  down for ugly because I wasn't really.
• 22:25
  I had a hard time figuring out anything ugly with this.
• 22:28
  Can you have anything ugly in a movie starring Christina
• 22:31
  Hendricks? Which one is that?
• 22:34
  The mom. Oh, OK, which one is that?
• 22:38
  Wow. I'm sorry, Yeah, yeah.
• 22:43
  I don't know, man. I I really don't.
• 22:45
  I don't have an ugly for this. They didn't even kill the dog.
• 22:49
  They exactly that's what I was saying like you know, the ugly
• 22:52
  is the dog had to witness it's the.
• 22:53
  Dog was the dog was trapped in that room with.
• 22:57
  A day? Yeah.
• 22:58
  A day maybe. Yeah, with Marvin, Cheryl for
• 23:03
  YEAH. But, you know, like, I think the
• 23:05
  stranger seemed like dog people. Like Dollface actually stuck her
• 23:08
  hand out for the dog to sniff and lick.
• 23:10
  You know, like, that's what a dog person does.
• 23:12
  So I think the dog was treated well at least, But the dog still
• 23:16
  had to watch its owners. Yeah, that's really fucked up.
• 23:18
  That's that Dog's gonna have a hard time.
• 23:21
  Yeah, what's yours? Yeah, I guess I'll, I guess I'll
• 23:25
  go with the dog. That's I'm glad that today
• 23:29
  killed the dog, but that dog had to be sitting in there and
• 23:32
  going. This is so fucked up.
• 23:34
  Yeah, kill all the people you want, but don't do anything to
• 23:37
  the dog, even psychologically. You just don't.
• 23:40
  All right? Absurd stuff.
• 23:42
  Absurd. Yes.
• 23:44
  So right here I have the dog didn't go ape shit at the start
• 23:51
  of the movie and that's because like, the dog is asleep.
• 23:53
  You're telling me the dog does not react to a sudden knock in
• 23:57
  the middle of the night? Maybe not.
• 24:00
  Not every dog is like Talia. Even whenever they break into
• 24:04
  the house, they broke into the house and the dog was chill
• 24:07
  about it. I I don't have a good
• 24:10
  explanation for that. It's just, yeah, so that that's
• 24:13
  absurd. And also, yes, this is part of
• 24:15
  like what you were talking about before, but it's just the fact
• 24:17
  that the truck takes so much damage and still keeps going.
• 24:21
  The truck keeps trucking. And OK, I've got a list here.
• 24:24
  It's got it Rams the house, it Rams into another car several
• 24:30
  times. It explodes.
• 24:34
  Still trucks. Truck still trucks.
• 24:37
  Yeah, Truck, Truck. It is truck truck, but like it's
• 24:40
  just a little bit ridiculous how like he Rams into the back of
• 24:45
  the police car and that kills the police car's engine Him.
• 24:49
  Nah, it's cool he keeps going. Mine, my absurd is, you know,
• 24:59
  kind of kind of overshadowed by your points with the truck
• 25:02
  Truck. But the family vehicle, OK, it
• 25:06
  runs into a house as well and it is destroyed.
• 25:11
  Yet man in the mask can come in and turn on the radio.
• 25:18
  Yeah, their cell phones wouldn't work when the screens were
• 25:21
  shattered, but the radio coming in clear as day.
• 25:25
  You know, I, I'm, I'm going to excuse that because I love that
• 25:29
  moment because I that's the moment that I relate to the
• 25:32
  most. He just like flips it on to like
• 25:34
  a cool like radio station right there you.
• 25:37
  Know, Yeah, that and honestly, that time of night, it makes me
• 25:40
  think of like being in college, you know, not too far from where
• 25:45
  this is filmed and like just kind of shifting through the
• 25:49
  different radio stations and you found some like random music
• 25:52
  genres on late at night. Yeah.
• 25:55
  So I just dig that. This guy's into the 80s sense,
• 25:57
  pop, you know? I dig it.
• 25:59
  We didn't get that side of him before.
• 26:01
  Like he was just playing whatever LP's were at the house,
• 26:05
  at the family home. Yeah.
• 26:07
  But like when he gets his own choice, he's like, we're going,
• 26:10
  we're doing since that's where we're at.
• 26:12
  Yeah, OK. All right, is it time to read
• 26:15
  it? Yes.
• 26:16
  Yeah, yeah, I like this movie a lot.
• 26:18
  It's a lot of fun. It's a great follow up.
• 26:20
  I give it 8 and a. Half all right, I'm I'm right
• 26:23
  there with you. I think 8 1/2 is a fantastic
• 26:26
  score for this movie. It's a lot of fun.
• 26:29
  I always enjoy watching it and it's an it's an easy watch for.
• 26:33
  Me. Yeah, same.
• 26:33
  OK, cool. So.
• 26:35
  Starting average 8 1/2 Yeah, I also have one more thing to add.
• 26:40
  I didn't put it in the fun frags because it's not really a fact
• 26:43
  about the movie, but it's more of like a small world fact.
• 26:46
  Yeah, I have a degree of separation from Emma Bellamy,
• 26:52
  who does Dollface. Yeah, cuz she is the sister of
• 26:56
  one of the people that was in the same sorority as me in
• 27:00
  college. Like at the same time we knew
• 27:03
  each other and what not. So I didn't know her sister
• 27:06
  directly, but it was just kind of like, oh hey.
• 27:08
  And they do look a lot alike. Yeah, they're doing a showing
• 27:13
  here for this movie this year up where this was filmed up here in
• 27:16
  Kentucky. Well, and I, I recognized in the
• 27:20
  credits like some of the people that were like producer level, I
• 27:24
  think they are family like I recognize the last name as like
• 27:30
  a family name of their cousins. So interesting, yeah.
• 27:33
  Cool. Yeah, some, some ties all around
• 27:35
  and it could be one of those like that they got producer
• 27:37
  credit because they got involved because ammo was in it, but.
• 27:40
  Well, hey, there we go. We're starting it off with extra
• 27:43
  fun facts. What do you think about that?
• 27:45
  All right, so this movie, it begins with some $0.80 pop.
• 27:51
  As we've said. Yeah, and it's just truck, truck
• 27:55
  driving down. Thinking like total Noxzema
• 27:57
  commercial or what? So it's truck truck driving down
• 28:00
  the road and pulls into a driveway.
• 28:03
  It's a trailer park. So we get to knock out the door
• 28:07
  middle of the night. Doc doesn't do a thing but I.
• 28:11
  Can't imagine. No, the owners, I can't imagine.
• 28:14
  The owner's OK with it, though. The owner goes and yeah, it's
• 28:17
  the older woman here. She goes and opens the door.
• 28:21
  Nobody there. But that's because somebody is
• 28:25
  already in the house. That's right.
• 28:29
  So we cut to the Cincinnati skyline.
• 28:31
  We see Kenzie. She is being snappy and crying.
• 28:37
  Yeah, she's. She's upset.
• 28:39
  We don't know the full context yet.
• 28:41
  What we will eventually come to find out is that she's being
• 28:43
  sent to boarding school. She's had some behaviors that
• 28:46
  her parents say are beyond typical teenage acting out.
• 28:49
  She disagrees because her friend's parents didn't react
• 28:52
  the same way. And they're like, well, we're
• 28:53
  not your friend's parents, We're your parents.
• 28:54
  And we're doing what we think is right by you.
• 28:56
  That's. Right, can't read you.
• 28:58
  Out they the dad, Mike, he's loading the car.
• 29:03
  He is playing Tetris trying to get all of their stuff loaded
• 29:06
  in. They're all running late.
• 29:08
  Luke is playing a baseball game and he wants to like finish the
• 29:13
  game up and they're like, no, we're already running late and
• 29:17
  he's like, well, why can't I stay alone?
• 29:19
  All my friends do. And they're like, that's exactly
• 29:21
  why it's kind of funny because they don't seem like super
• 29:24
  uptight parents. But from like this little
• 29:26
  glimpse here it feels like. Maybe that?
• 29:30
  Yeah, maybe that like we don't. But again, that's the thing with
• 29:33
  these movies. Like we don't have context on
• 29:35
  what's going on in their lives beyond like this little snapshot
• 29:38
  at the moment before all of that becomes insignificant.
• 29:41
  Yeah. So things are awkward riding in
• 29:44
  the car on the road and two siblings getting to a little
• 29:48
  argument and it gets some sort of things brought up like, you
• 29:53
  know, they, they talk about the financial strain that the
• 29:55
  family's going through because the sisters having to go to
• 29:57
  boarding school. Yeah, the cable's being
• 29:59
  cancelled, which it's 2018, that was probably time for the cable
• 30:02
  to be cancelled anyway. Yeah.
• 30:04
  And they're snipping and he calls her a queef, which I just
• 30:09
  feel like we don't hear as an insult in movies enough.
• 30:12
  Yeah, they stop at a Dieter. Kenzie is just kind of like
• 30:17
  refusing to come in and eat with them, and they're like, she's
• 30:19
  punishing us. They say this a lot before shit
• 30:23
  starts to go down. She's being super melon
• 30:24
  traumatic. Yeah.
• 30:26
  And the mom, Cindy, she goes out there to talk to her and she's,
• 30:31
  you know, she's like, I wish somebody had done this for me
• 30:33
  when I was your age. And she goes, well, I feel like
• 30:35
  you're giving up on me. And that's pretty much they're
• 30:38
  out of stalemate because the parents have made the decision.
• 30:42
  They're the adults. This is happening, and Kinsey is
• 30:44
  a teenager. So they arrive at the trailer.
• 30:49
  Park, Yeah. Catalan Lake Getaway.
• 30:51
  It seems empty and it's because it's after Labor Day.
• 30:54
  It basically it's kind of like a, you know, an area people stay
• 30:58
  at by the lake in the summertime.
• 31:01
  Yeah, I mean, that's what happens.
• 31:02
  Yeah, yeah, it very few people stick around the lakes.
• 31:05
  Oh my God. Stop fighting you guys.
• 31:11
  Oh God, OK. They're going wild.
• 31:13
  The girls have gone wild. They.
• 31:17
  Yeah, like only the really hardcore people stay at the lake
• 31:20
  after like, into fall and winter.
• 31:22
  Yeah. So yeah, you know, just any
• 31:25
  reason for us to not get any people to interfere with stuff
• 31:28
  You have to be secluded in a stranger's movie too.
• 31:29
  And this is like a nice little bit of writing because we're
• 31:33
  kind of like, well, how do the strangers know to leave this
• 31:37
  note in these keys? Because like, you know, Cindy
• 31:39
  had said, it's OK if we're late, I'll leave a message for Uncle
• 31:43
  Marv and let him know what time we'll be there and he'll just
• 31:45
  leave the key for us. And we find out later that Marv
• 31:50
  and Cheryl have like, you know, old school voicemail, like
• 31:53
  answering machine in their home. And so when they're in their
• 31:57
  killing, they hear the voicemail.
• 31:58
  And that's how they're like, OK, cool.
• 32:00
  We're going to set up where we want these people to be at.
• 32:04
  So they had time to like, get the lay of the land and plan
• 32:07
  things out. Oh, I leave.
• 32:08
  Yeah, yeah, that's cool. It adds an extra like element to
• 32:12
  it. Do you think, do we think they
• 32:14
  put the Chinese into the fridge? Yes, I absolutely do.
• 32:20
  Do we think there's like glass or poison or something in it and
• 32:23
  there? Is a test, you know.
• 32:25
  You know, like we like to be hands on, but this could be
• 32:28
  something for us to try. They totally ordered take out.
• 32:31
  They did, Yeah. OK.
• 32:33
  So yeah, they get the keys. They arrive there.
• 32:35
  Yeah. There's Chinese in the fridge.
• 32:37
  You know, the kids are kind of trying to keep to themselves,
• 32:40
  you know, on the phone, on their radio, whatever MP3 players got.
• 32:45
  That's like already ancient technology.
• 32:47
  Did you just turn 77 years old, Travis?
• 32:51
  Yeah, I think I did it for a second there.
• 32:53
  And the family's trying to get them all to play games together.
• 32:56
  But as she does in this movie, Kinzie storms off because she's
• 33:01
  upset at her parents for trying to connect with her and.
• 33:05
  But not before we get the first of our appearance from.
• 33:09
  Yes, that's. Right, Tamra home.
• 33:12
  It's always Tamra. It's always Tamra, But yeah, so
• 33:17
  they're like, well, no, you must be confused.
• 33:18
  And then she just kind of walks off.
• 33:20
  And they're also confused by that.
• 33:23
  And they're trying to get the kids to give up the phones, like
• 33:25
  you said. And it seems like maybe Mike has
• 33:28
  made some progress with Kenzie because she hands over her
• 33:30
  phone. He's like, cool, we're going to
• 33:32
  have one last phone free night together, playing cards with
• 33:35
  each other. And she grabs her cigarettes and
• 33:38
  walks off. So I'm off.
• 33:39
  And they're like, Luke, you're up.
• 33:43
  So yeah, he goes out there and he finds her at the playground
• 33:46
  and, you know, it starts to go. Well, he starts to get her to
• 33:50
  cheer up a little bit. So they start to walk around the
• 33:53
  trailer park. Yeah, he's.
• 33:53
  Like look at this as like a fresh start.
• 33:56
  You know this. You can be whoever you want to
• 33:59
  be at this. Place.
• 34:00
  It's weird because I always picture him as the younger
• 34:02
  brother, but he's the older brother.
• 34:03
  Yeah, he's, it's implied she's like 1415.
• 34:07
  He's 17. He's going off to college next
• 34:09
  year. And there's this great shot
• 34:13
  where I was like, is somebody sitting there?
• 34:14
  No, somebody's not seeing that. You know, the games that you
• 34:16
  play in real life when it's dark out and you're like trying to
• 34:19
  make out if that's a real shadow or if it's, you know, what are
• 34:24
  you seeing? And then it moves and you're
• 34:26
  like, OK, yeah, that's that's one of the strangers.
• 34:29
  Yeah, so we're back at the trailer.
• 34:32
  The mom and the dad, I I didn't get their.
• 34:34
  Names Mike and Cindy. Mike and Cindy, they're having a
• 34:37
  moment. They have some time away from
• 34:38
  the kids. They're yeah, they.
• 34:39
  Have to strike something up. Well, at first they're like,
• 34:42
  we're making the right decision, right?
• 34:43
  Are we making the right decision?
• 34:44
  We're making the right decision. They're having all this go on.
• 34:47
  And then Mike's like, but hey, we get to have sex on the couch
• 34:49
  again. Yeah, great point.
• 34:51
  Mike Yeah, it's a good point. There you go.
• 34:53
  Way to go, Mike. Yeah, and they're about to do it
• 34:55
  right there, but they here knock at the door again.
• 34:59
  Mike goes to check it's Dollface again.
• 35:01
  Yeah, Sam's mask. Sam's mask, yeah.
• 35:05
  And he's like, are you lost? You need help.
• 35:07
  And then she just walks away. And she walks across the other
• 35:10
  side of the street, stops, turns around, and then just stares at
• 35:13
  him for a little bit. And then he notices as she walks
• 35:16
  away that the light bulb up there next to it had been
• 35:19
  unscrewed a little bit. The light was not turning on.
• 35:22
  So he squeeze it back in. So they've been fucking.
• 35:24
  Yeah, I think that's one of those things I would probably
• 35:27
  actually shit my pants if we ever or had like a knock on the
• 35:30
  door and then I found out. That I wasn't going on.
• 35:32
  Yeah, yeah. I would not open that door.
• 35:34
  But honestly like I want not the trilogy we got but I want a New
• 35:41
  Strangers movie where like doorbell cameras are involved.
• 35:46
  You could definitely do that, yeah.
• 35:48
  Is Tam at home? No, go away.
• 35:51
  I'm not even home. That's it.
• 35:52
  That's the. Movie, Yeah.
• 35:54
  Yeah, it's done. But in theaters, they'll do
• 35:58
  better. Yeah.
• 36:00
  Yeah. But yeah, Cindy is correctly
• 36:03
  weirded out. She's getting a gut feeling
• 36:05
  about all this. She's like, let's get the kids
• 36:07
  back in here because I don't like what's happening.
• 36:09
  And Mike's like, you know what might be overacting, But
• 36:12
  sometimes you got to trust you got, let's go ahead and do this
• 36:14
  thing. So Kinsey and Luke have found a
• 36:18
  trailer with the door open, and naturally they're like, let's go
• 36:21
  in. And as you do and they find some
• 36:25
  bourbon in the cabinet and looks like OK, find one shot and he
• 36:29
  goes four and he goes 2 and she goes deal.
• 36:33
  Good bargaining right there. Except they haven't realized for
• 36:36
  some reason, even though it's implied that they've been here
• 36:39
  dozens of times before. This is Marvin Cheryl's trailer.
• 36:45
  Oh, because they're about to find their bodies.
• 36:48
  Yeah, you're right. I hadn't even thought about
• 36:49
  that. Huh.
• 36:50
  Like it's weird because it's implied that they've been up
• 36:53
  there plenty of times, that they know them.
• 36:55
  They maybe don't know their way around the park super well, but
• 36:59
  it doesn't seem like this. Is, you know, the first time
• 37:01
  that's another thing here. Like people keep, they keep
• 37:04
  getting lost in this trailer park.
• 37:05
  Like I, I don't think the trailer parks are that intricate
• 37:08
  where you get like twists and like.
• 37:10
  I don't. Know if this is different?
• 37:12
  Because it's like a lake resort type type of trailer park.
• 37:16
  It could be, I don't know. Because it's not like it's a
• 37:18
  vacation home type of situation. Yeah.
• 37:21
  Well, either way, they go into the bedroom because they hear
• 37:25
  something knock in there. So they go check it out and they
• 37:28
  enter and they see a bed sheet. Yeah, well, at first they the
• 37:32
  knocking is the dog trying like, oh, it's the dog.
• 37:34
  The dog is like, Oh my God, somebody's here, let me out.
• 37:36
  And even now the dog isn't barking.
• 37:38
  The dog's just like politely knocking on the door.
• 37:40
  You're like, hey, can you, can you let me out?
• 37:42
  Please, Jesse, I knew that was going to happen as soon as you
• 37:46
  started doing that. Time.
• 37:48
  That was me. It was me.
• 37:50
  Oh. Boy I'm Plaza.
• 37:53
  So yeah, the dog is the opposite energy of Talia.
• 37:57
  Talia. That was her commentary, right?
• 37:58
  There, Yeah. So the dog did this.
• 38:00
  Yeah, yeah, the dog runs out and they are kind of looking around.
• 38:06
  They don't notice the bloody sheets at 1st, instead they
• 38:10
  ignore the elephant in the room and they go check the window and
• 38:16
  there's hello written a bunch of.
• 38:18
  Times. Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot.
• 38:19
  About that and then they turn around and they see the sheet
• 38:22
  over 2 bodies that are like poised upright and have just
• 38:26
  absolutely been mutilated, almost like the rusty nail
• 38:29
  special. Yeah, they actually got really
• 38:31
  fucked up. Like it was a really brutal
• 38:33
  death, so yeah. They, they run out, they run out
• 38:38
  and then they realize that they're lost.
• 38:40
  Except it's okay because they've run into Megan, Cindy and
• 38:44
  they're telling them what's happening.
• 38:46
  And you can kind of see them being, cuz on the one hand,
• 38:50
  they've had this gut reaction. On the other hand, Kinsey seems
• 38:54
  like she's been a real shit to them lately.
• 38:57
  And Luke's like, no, I saw it too.
• 38:59
  I'm telling you. Luke says it.
• 39:03
  He knows it's. True.
• 39:04
  Yeah. So Mike tells Cindy and Kenzie
• 39:06
  to go back to the trailer they're staying in, lock the
• 39:09
  door and call 911. He's going to have Luke take him
• 39:12
  to where they found the bodies. I don't understand what the
• 39:17
  purpose is, because if you're already calling 911 like, what
• 39:20
  are you going to do about it? It's weird because these people
• 39:22
  treat their cell phones like landlines.
• 39:24
  They leave them at the the trailer.
• 39:27
  Which like, don't get me wrong, I have a habit of just kind of
• 39:32
  leaving my phone lying around and I have a habit of not
• 39:35
  charging it. I would absolutely be that
• 39:36
  stereotype in a horror movie, as I've said multiple times on the
• 39:39
  show, but I think out of a family of four, it's very
• 39:43
  unrealistic that all four cell phones were left.
• 39:46
  Yeah. Yep.
• 39:48
  So they they, OK, so there's like a little split action going
• 39:53
  on here. Let's talk about Cindy and
• 39:55
  Kinzie first, OK? Cindy and Kinzie go back to the
• 39:58
  trailer and they lock the door and Kinzie realizes that the the
• 40:06
  phones are smashed as her mom is kind of like.
• 40:10
  Trying to talk through some of the stress that's happening and
• 40:12
  then he's like, oh shit. So she calls me one.
• 40:16
  She's able to kind of make a call, but there's a bad
• 40:18
  connection because of a cracked screen I.
• 40:20
  Don't I? It doesn't make much.
• 40:23
  I don't know. Maybe they messed up the
• 40:24
  microphone. Maybe.
• 40:26
  I don't know. Maybe I don't.
• 40:28
  It's a stretch. It's a.
• 40:29
  Stretch. It's a stretch I get they had to
• 40:32
  just get rid of the cell phone somehow.
• 40:33
  I think it would have been funnier if the strangers had
• 40:36
  just filled up the sink with water and just dropped the
• 40:41
  phones in there. Yeah, I think that would have
• 40:43
  been just as effective. Yeah, for sure.
• 40:45
  Yeah, but it doesn't matter because Dollface is in the
• 40:50
  kitchen and Kinsey, when it comes to fight, flight or
• 40:54
  freeze, you would think she'd be a fighter.
• 40:56
  Nope, she's she's a freezer. She all taught.
• 40:59
  Yeah. Yeah, well, The thing is, they
• 41:01
  went for the knife. They found that Dollface already
• 41:04
  took the knife. Yep, Yep.
• 41:05
  So yeah, yeah, they're fucked. So they run into the bathroom.
• 41:08
  They noticed that there's a skylight in there.
• 41:10
  So mom gonna get Kinsey out? And they have like, they have
• 41:16
  the quickest, like most heartfelt mother daughter moment
• 41:20
  and she's calling her mommy and it's so sad.
• 41:23
  Sad. That's and you were such a shit
• 41:25
  to her before she was. She asked.
• 41:28
  That's one of those ones. You're just going to always feel
• 41:30
  guilty about that. Yep.
• 41:31
  And so her mom gets hurt through the sky and she's like, you got
• 41:34
  to run, you got to run, you've got to run.
• 41:35
  And then she watches her mom like the door gets busted in and
• 41:39
  she watches her mom get stabbed. Yep.
• 41:43
  Meanwhile we have Luke and Mike who have made it into the house
• 41:47
  there. And yeah, Mike sees the party,
• 41:50
  so he believes it now. Yeah, and this is where we see
• 41:53
  the answering machine is blinking red.
• 41:56
  And when they hit it, they realize that's how the strangers
• 41:59
  knew they were coming. And he goes, hold on, I know
• 42:04
  Marv has a gun. Yeah, and that's what I'm
• 42:07
  saying. Clearly they've been here a lot.
• 42:10
  Yeah, yeah, I, you know, whatever.
• 42:12
  I do. Do you really think that these
• 42:14
  two parents are going on a vacation to see Cindy's aunt and
• 42:19
  uncle and they won't leave their kids alone as full teenagers?
• 42:23
  Do you think that they're just regularly coming to the Catlin?
• 42:26
  Like escapes all the time without the kids.
• 42:29
  Yes, all the time, every day. All right, so they hear rocks
• 42:34
  being thrown outside. And then one of the windows
• 42:37
  gets. Busted.
• 42:38
  Yeah. So they look outside and they
• 42:40
  see bad head. He's bad head.
• 42:42
  He's bad head, that's what. He's in my notes.
• 42:44
  Eyes, yeah. And he's just standing out there
• 42:45
  with an X waiting for them. So creepy.
• 42:48
  Yeah, that's not a sight you wanna see cuz I feel like I
• 42:52
  could like he's just a guy. Like I could probably run faster
• 42:57
  than him, but like you can't. He's got an axe, man.
• 42:59
  He's got a bag on his head. Like, I can't understand how
• 43:03
  creepy this is, just having a bag on your head.
• 43:06
  That's all it takes. And so Mike decides he's going
• 43:08
  to threaten him with a gun, and he thinks it's worked because
• 43:12
  Baghead is gone. But what he doesn't know is
• 43:15
  Baghead is up to Shenan's. That's right.
• 43:19
  So they're like, OK, we're going to get in the car.
• 43:21
  So they get in the car and wait, Is that happening or no?
• 43:25
  That happened. No, they run back to the
• 43:27
  trailer. They were staying again.
• 43:29
  That's right. And that's where they find
• 43:31
  Cindy. Yes.
• 43:32
  And then they're like, OK, we've got to get in the car and find
• 43:35
  Kinzie and get out of here. Right, so that's what they do.
• 43:37
  They start driving around the park, hollering for Kinzie.
• 43:41
  As they're driving, somebody throws, I'm thinking like a
• 43:43
  brick or a cinder block or. Something I wrote brick in my
• 43:46
  notes because it was more than a rock.
• 43:48
  Yeah, if it was a cinder block, I think that actually killed.
• 43:51
  Yeah, I feel like a cinder block, like also if somebody can
• 43:55
  throw a cinder block that far and that precise, like I'm not
• 43:59
  one at hand. That's true.
• 44:01
  It's not like there's no way. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 44:04
  That's creepy. That's terrifying.
• 44:06
  So yeah, it causes him to swerve into a house and the damage is
• 44:11
  bad. The one of the posts of the deck
• 44:14
  or whatever has gone through the mic.
• 44:17
  Yeah, like on his lower right part of his stomach.
• 44:22
  I understand that sounds really specific, but you all will
• 44:25
  understand why and why why I'm pointing that out.
• 44:29
  And yeah, so he like, there's no getting it out.
• 44:31
  Luke tries to get it out of him. He's like, listen, you've got to
• 44:34
  go. Take the gun, Take the gun.
• 44:37
  Find your sister, go to the office, call for help.
• 44:41
  I don't know that he actually said the go to the office part,
• 44:43
  but Luke figured it out. Yeah.
• 44:45
  Yeah, very clear instructions. Yeah, so Luke goes.
• 44:49
  And dude, and you can see back head in the background just
• 44:52
  watching. I love those out of focus shots.
• 44:54
  Batman. Loves to alert.
• 44:56
  Yeah. And then he, like, walks off
• 44:58
  screen and then he sees or like Mike sees him in the passenger
• 45:02
  seat because he just like, opens the door and crawls in.
• 45:04
  And he's some, too. He's just, he's like, please
• 45:08
  don't please. So like.
• 45:10
  There's a reason with. Them.
• 45:11
  Yeah. He's like please just leave me
• 45:13
  and my family. Realistically I think he like he
• 45:16
  could have probably survived for a while if he's like, dude
• 45:18
  what's your like, favorite band? Like clearly this guy loves
• 45:21
  music. Go go's right.
• 45:23
  Yeah, like, come on, let's talk about like Huey Lewis, you know,
• 45:28
  like, surely he wants to talk about.
• 45:30
  That Yeah, yeah, I. Think so.
• 45:32
  Genesis, you know, before Phil, before Phil went so low.
• 45:39
  All right, so God, what happens here?
• 45:42
  Now we are Kinzie seeing the truck like truck truck.
• 45:48
  That's right. Yes.
• 45:49
  And she kind of is like tiptoeing towards it and she
• 45:54
  realizes very quickly that it's not a friendly because lights
• 45:57
  come on and it starts driving towards her.
• 46:00
  And so she goes and hides on the playground and one of those like
• 46:03
  giant tunnelly things and she's. Oh wait, we missed the part
• 46:11
  where she went inside the trailer.
• 46:14
  So wait, did we? Yeah, she enters a trailer and
• 46:19
  like she hears like a squeaky noise.
• 46:21
  No, that's not yet. That's not yet.
• 46:22
  No, I'm sorry. We got the playground first.
• 46:25
  So she goes to the playground, he's driving around trying to
• 46:27
  get to her and she says please just leave this alone.
• 46:31
  And then pinheads in the tunnel where there's like, but we've
• 46:34
  just. Started.
• 46:35
  Scary. Scary as fuck.
• 46:38
  I don't care if it's not realistic.
• 46:39
  You guys. These people were moving like
• 46:41
  fucking ghosts in the first one too, sneaking around me in a
• 46:46
  million places at once. I'm not like it's scary.
• 46:49
  It's just who they are. Yeah.
• 46:50
  Just to enjoy it. And I'm a person who jump scares
• 46:52
  work for. That works for me.
• 46:54
  Yeah, same. So she screams, and then we kind
• 46:59
  of cut to Luke. Let's see.
• 47:04
  Do, do, do. Yeah.
• 47:06
  Oh, that's why. Because we kind of, we finished
• 47:08
  up Mike and Luke's story before we went back to Kenzie.
• 47:11
  That's why your notes got confused, because now Luke is
• 47:15
  running around looking for Kenzie.
• 47:17
  He goes back into the trailer because Kenzie's in there.
• 47:20
  She hears the squeaky toy. And.
• 47:22
  She goes in and it's a jack-in-the-box, which is the
• 47:26
  creepiest of all children's toys.
• 47:28
  I don't know why those are allowed to exist.
• 47:31
  Yeah, I mean, honestly, and I think she should have known
• 47:34
  better because like, you only get those things to work by
• 47:36
  somebody like cranking it in the moment.
• 47:38
  So somebody's in there, yes, And fucking with.
• 47:41
  You it didn't go far and it's proven immediately because doll
• 47:44
  face jumps out and stabs her in the arm and the leg and that's
• 47:48
  when Luke comes in, holds the gun up to her and is like drop
• 47:52
  the knife. And he doesn't shoot.
• 47:55
  And he doesn't shoot and Doll Face realizes he's not going to
• 47:58
  shoot. So she kind of starts taunting
• 47:59
  him because he's like, give me the gun, I will shoot her.
• 48:01
  She would have. She's like, yeah, she absolutely
• 48:03
  would have. She was like, I froze one time.
• 48:05
  No more freezing. It's all fighting now.
• 48:09
  But yeah, so they they end up running and the truck is
• 48:15
  following them. Yeah, they're, they're being
• 48:17
  chased by the truck. So they come across this
• 48:19
  trailer, windows open, so they climb into this the trailer
• 48:22
  there. And that's where Luke takes the
• 48:24
  opportunity to kind of like patch her up a little bit.
• 48:26
  And she starts crying and she's blaming herself saying this is
• 48:29
  all her fault because, you know, they were doing all of this to
• 48:32
  take her to boarding school. And Luke is just like they
• 48:36
  started joking around, like already in the reminiscing
• 48:40
  stages about their parents distracting the stories about
• 48:42
  when they were younger. And it's just, it's heart
• 48:45
  wrenching because they're so young.
• 48:46
  And yeah, it's really unfortunate.
• 48:48
  It's sad, but you know what? Hey, they have they have their
• 48:52
  Christine moment because bag head drives through the house.
• 48:57
  Absolutely. We get it.
• 48:58
  We get it in this. We get we get this moment and
• 49:01
  you know what? I wasn't going to say it, but
• 49:03
  I'll go ahead and say it now. Other Miss Steven King
• 49:05
  adaptation opportunities that tunnel in a playground.
• 49:09
  There's a terrifying scene of that in the novel of The Shining
• 49:12
  that we don't get in the movie or miniseries where Danny is in
• 49:17
  a tunnel in a playground. And this like a little ghost
• 49:19
  girl is like. OK Oh, man.
• 49:24
  OK. So yeah, like Luke takes Kenzie
• 49:29
  and he hides her. He's like, I'm going to go take
• 49:32
  care of this shit at the office. I'll call for help there and
• 49:36
  we'll come get you when everything's clear.
• 49:38
  Yes, and she's like, no, I want to go with you.
• 49:40
  And he goes, you will not be able to keep up with me.
• 49:43
  So he hides her under a porch that is surrounded with.
• 49:48
  Lattice. Yeah, I almost wanted to say
• 49:52
  Latisse. Again, I don't know if that's
• 49:54
  right or wrong. Still, I don't know.
• 49:55
  It's lattice, is it? We've had this conversation.
• 49:58
  We had this conversation with some of our friends a couple of
• 50:00
  weekends. Ago, I don't think that they
• 50:01
  were certain. I think I don't think that they
• 50:04
  were OK. So hey, we're, we're now we're
• 50:10
  building up to one of the coolest moments in the entire
• 50:13
  movie. I already know Travis.
• 50:15
  He just put his hand on his hip when he was saying that.
• 50:17
  He was like, I don't think they were certain themselves.
• 50:20
  I it's on my hip, it's on my knee.
• 50:22
  Well, from this angle it looks. Like that paints a completely
• 50:24
  different image, like on the knee.
• 50:26
  And that's like with authority, you're like, with the hip, it's
• 50:30
  like, no. You're given like Nate Bargatzi,
• 50:33
  like, I'm not sure. It might be ladies.
• 50:38
  Yeah, OK. So hey, we get the policy now,
• 50:41
  guys. So Luke made it to the office.
• 50:44
  He tries to make a call, he does get a call, but the line gets
• 50:49
  cut as he's talking to 911. Yeah, yeah.
• 50:53
  And they're like, where are you? Because I I don't know the
• 50:55
  address for by a lake in a trailer park.
• 50:58
  He remembers it, though. He remembers the name of the
• 51:00
  place. Yeah.
• 51:01
  But. Actually, I don't.
• 51:02
  Think he even Does he get Catlin Lake?
• 51:05
  Does he get that? Yeah, I think he does.
• 51:06
  Yeah, but he it's too late because the line had already
• 51:09
  been cut and he's starting to hear noises people fucking with.
• 51:14
  Him. Yeah, he grabs a Golf Club.
• 51:16
  Yeah, good weapon in this moment, right here.
• 51:18
  And he goes out into the pool, and then suddenly all of the
• 51:21
  lights come. On Yep Yep, Pinhead is out there
• 51:24
  and he hits her and then stabs her with the ice pick that was
• 51:29
  used to kill his. Father, that's one of those cool
• 51:31
  shots I'm talking about like the 80s five to it because it's like
• 51:34
  quick, like crash zoom onto it and then like whack, like, I
• 51:37
  don't know, there's just something about it.
• 51:39
  This whole scene just has a lot of style to it.
• 51:42
  And then this like Luke, like showing up because bag head
• 51:47
  comes out and he's like, I killed her, I killed one of
• 51:49
  yours. How does it feel?
• 51:51
  And this is like approaching you, dragging the axe, dragging
• 51:54
  the axe, like that sound of it just dragging on concrete.
• 51:57
  Holy shit. And yeah, he's going to take him
• 52:01
  on. So bag head search, charging at
• 52:03
  him with the axe and he's missing.
• 52:05
  Like he's doing a really good job putting up a good fight.
• 52:07
  He's getting some hits in with the Golf Club, but what happens
• 52:10
  is who falls into the pool? Yeah, and we've got like this
• 52:14
  whole thing. There's just like Neon Trees.
• 52:16
  It's all cool. We've got Total Eclipse of the
• 52:19
  Heart playing, and it's diegetic like this is.
• 52:21
  Yeah, this is a clubhouse pool area.
• 52:24
  So as they start fighting in the water every time they go
• 52:27
  underwater, the music is good in that way.
• 52:30
  I just, I'm a sucker for those kinds of effects.
• 52:33
  I love it, yeah. It's great and he's putting up a
• 52:36
  good fight, but then he gets stabbed.
• 52:39
  And. Blood in a pool is always so
• 52:43
  dramatic. Yeah.
• 52:44
  And this looks pretty bad. And he's that's a little
• 52:48
  overconfident. Here, Yeah.
• 52:49
  He he thinks he's done it so since.
• 52:51
  When has he ever stabbed a person?
• 52:53
  Stabbed a person a time. They did it in the ending of the
• 52:59
  movie, the first one. They all just take turns
• 53:00
  stabbing. It's implied that they went
• 53:03
  around a few times. Though maybe I don't know.
• 53:06
  We didn't say that, so I can't say for sure either way.
• 53:09
  Like. He leaves him to bleed out.
• 53:12
  It's a lot of blood, to be fair. Like he's bleeding out really
• 53:14
  harshly. It's like a Tarantino movie, it
• 53:16
  looks. So much more dramatic in in
• 53:19
  water. You can't die to what's the song
• 53:23
  called again? Total eclipse.
• 53:25
  Yeah, you can't die to that song and it not be dramatic.
• 53:28
  OK, that's. True the song.
• 53:29
  It's dramatic. Yeah.
• 53:31
  Yes, anything is that like the camera stays on him for a really
• 53:35
  long time and you think that he's about to drown, but.
• 53:37
  Kinsey didn't listen to him. She followed him to the off.
• 53:40
  I'm not going to lie, I forgot that happened.
• 53:42
  Whenever we were watching this I was like holy shit she did it.
• 53:45
  Yeah, for some reason I thought that Luke had killed Bag Head.
• 53:51
  I completely forgot how this movie ended.
• 53:53
  I well, yeah, you know, like it made for a nursing watch through
• 53:57
  this time. Yeah, So she pulls him out and
• 53:59
  she's like, listen, I'm going to get to the main Rd. presumably
• 54:03
  to try and flag somebody down. She doesn't really say what
• 54:05
  she's getting to the main road for.
• 54:06
  She was just like I'm going to get to the main Rd. and the a
• 54:11
  truck pulls up when she's walking out and she's ready to
• 54:14
  be suspicious. Except this time it's a cop and
• 54:17
  she is kind of like going 1,000,000 miles a minute trying
• 54:20
  to explain what's happening. She's like we're under attack
• 54:23
  and the cop is like OK hold on a second.
• 54:26
  Except then doll face just comes up and slits his.
• 54:28
  Neck. Oh God.
• 54:29
  Brutal and fast. And then she decides that she's
• 54:33
  going to try and stab at Kenzie some more.
• 54:34
  But Kenzie gets into the car and she's like, cool, I'll just
• 54:37
  drive away in this car. No using the radio, whatever.
• 54:43
  She was panicking. There was a lot happening and it
• 54:46
  didn't matter anyway because Dollface had the keys because
• 54:48
  the cop took them out when he got out of the vehicle, I guess.
• 54:53
  Yeah, I don't, I don't know. This is like the one time in a
• 54:56
  horror movie where somebody didn't conveniently leave their
• 54:59
  keys in a vehicle. Yeah, so she goes for the
• 55:03
  shotgun, but Dollface gets some pretty good looks and gets some
• 55:08
  cuts on her, but she gets the shotgun working in time and
• 55:10
  blast her. Yep.
• 55:12
  And then she's like, why are you doing this?
• 55:14
  And she's like, why not? And so she shoots her again.
• 55:17
  I. Like that, they changed it.
• 55:19
  It's not because you were home because.
• 55:20
  Because. We knew you were coming.
• 55:23
  Yeah, that doesn't have the same way.
• 55:25
  I just like. But they did know that they were
• 55:26
  coming. That could have been one.
• 55:29
  Yeah, I don't know. Well, and she double taps, so
• 55:32
  dollface is. Dead dead.
• 55:33
  Ashley did that with her hands. Cut the fuck up.
• 55:36
  Yeah, it's gotta hurt adrenaline though.
• 55:38
  You went. In and so she gets back into the
• 55:40
  car and she's trying to get to start except bag head comes up
• 55:44
  in truck, truck hits it from behind.
• 55:47
  It's it fucks up the engine and it just drives off.
• 55:51
  And for a minute I thought he was going to like, pull the
• 55:53
  window down and like, mean mug tip his hat, like staring at the
• 55:59
  blank page. And something.
• 56:00
  Like that and he drives what I assumed was to go back to the
• 56:05
  office and make sure that Luke was actually dead.
• 56:08
  So he was just doing a very wide turn around so he can come, ran
• 56:11
  the car from the side, and she just kind of flops out of the
• 56:17
  vehicle at that point. And she realizes that the car is
• 56:23
  leaking gas and that it's very fortunate for her that smoking
• 56:26
  makes you look cool because she's got a Zippo lighter in her
• 56:29
  pocket. Zippo lighters make you look
• 56:30
  cool too, yeah? Yeah.
• 56:32
  And so she tosses it on there. Big ol explosion bag heads in
• 56:38
  the truck, he's on fire, everything's crazy.
• 56:42
  You think she's one? Awesome.
• 56:44
  So she's like cool, now I can limp towards the main road to
• 56:49
  try and flag somebody down, except the truck is like
• 56:53
  following her on fire. And this is great because like I
• 56:57
  know part of it's because he's dying, but also I think it's
• 57:00
  still him just wanting to fuck with her because he could just
• 57:03
  run her over. He did end this but he's just
• 57:06
  like following her and even when she like drops like literally
• 57:09
  drops down to a crawl, he slows down too.
• 57:12
  I I know that none of this makes any sense in this moment, but it
• 57:16
  is like so fun and so cool. That's the.
• 57:18
  Power of the 80s nostalgia of this movie, because think about
• 57:23
  how many 80s horror movies don't make any goddamn sense, but
• 57:28
  they're fun. Yeah, it works.
• 57:29
  It works well here. And he comes out and like his
• 57:33
  mask is like melted. To his face.
• 57:38
  Oh my God, it's snarly. It's.
• 57:39
  So gross. And he's got a giant Shard of
• 57:42
  glass, and it's TomTom. He pulls it out.
• 57:45
  He pulls it out and he drops and he's like, cool, now he's dead.
• 57:51
  And she gets up and she's walking and she finds a truck.
• 57:55
  She's like, I don't this could go one of two ways.
• 57:57
  It's been a weird night, except it's a mom and her son.
• 58:00
  And the mom gets out. She's like, Oh my God, what's
• 58:01
  wrong? And she's just like, you know,
• 58:03
  it's just really bad. And then the mom starts running
• 58:05
  back to her truck screaming because that head is still
• 58:09
  fucking alive and he's still coming after.
• 58:11
  Her the next. And I don't blame them all cuz
• 58:14
  like she's got her son in there. She did.
• 58:16
  This could be one of you hear. Her I do this all the.
• 58:18
  Time, yeah. I'd be out of.
• 58:19
  Somebody faking being in distress so that way, then
• 58:23
  there's like an organized attack.
• 58:25
  So the mom gets back in her truck and starts driving.
• 58:28
  Kinzie's like, Nope. I've seen, I've seen Texas
• 58:31
  Chainsaw, I've seen Halloween four and five.
• 58:34
  She jumps into the back of the pickup bag heads.
• 58:37
  Like I've also seen those movies, never quite finished
• 58:39
  them. Kind of a weird choice on my
• 58:41
  part. I always stop him about two
• 58:43
  minutes before the end. He watched Halloween 4, not
• 58:45
  Texas Chainsaw Master because he climbs on the truck.
• 58:48
  Fair. And he's getting in there, he's
• 58:50
  almost getting in the back of it.
• 58:51
  But Kinzie finds the golf, or like a baseball bat, just find.
• 58:56
  Something in the back, as there always are in the back of the
• 59:00
  pickup, and he hits him, knocks him off, and then we have her
• 59:06
  like soaking in the glory of the morning.
• 59:10
  I thought this would have been a nice place to end the movie.
• 59:13
  Instead we cut to the Hostel confirmation.
• 59:16
  Luke is. Yeah, he's, he's in bad shape.
• 59:20
  Yeah, he's intubated, which means he is not conscious.
• 59:23
  Yeah. And I appreciate the, like,
• 59:28
  realism there because Kenzie's like in her grippy socks.
• 59:32
  It's very clear that like she was also admitted.
• 59:34
  And yeah, the other day I had a matching pair and she is just
• 59:39
  sitting there in his, in the chair in his little room, and
• 59:42
  she's traumatized and not sure what her life's about to be
• 59:48
  like. How are they going to pay these
• 59:49
  medical bills? Who the fuck knows?
• 59:51
  She goes to get some water. She goes to get some water and
• 59:55
  she hears A squeaking sound and a knock on the door and she
• 1:00:00
  drops her cup and in the alternate ending all of this
• 1:00:04
  happens except then the door opens.
• 1:00:08
  And the lights go. And then the lights in her room
• 1:00:12
  go out too. And then she screams.
• 1:00:15
  You hear the axe being drug on the ground too.
• 1:00:18
  OK, I did not make a note of that.
• 1:00:20
  Thank you for that. Uh huh.
• 1:00:20
  I mean, that's just an extra element of like.
• 1:00:23
  Fucking. And there's a little :) on the
• 1:00:26
  door. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
• 1:00:27
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:00:29
  So so yeah, that's how it ends. 2 times, yes.
• 1:00:34
  We started with fun facts and then we ended with an alternate
• 1:00:37
  ending. Here we go.
• 1:00:38
  Yeah. All right.
• 1:00:39
  Cool. So are you keeping your rating
• 1:00:43
  the same? I am.
• 1:00:44
  I think I am too. I think 8 1/2 is correct for
• 1:00:47
  this movie. It's a kind of fun.
• 1:00:48
  There are a few things we could tighten up.
• 1:00:50
  You know, like that ending. I don't.
• 1:00:52
  I like the you done with the hospital part.
• 1:00:54
  Yeah, OK. Yeah.
• 1:00:56
  I mean, I, you know, like, I don't know, like I took it more.
• 1:01:01
  My take on it is it's like PTSD, Like I don't think that they're
• 1:01:05
  actually alive or. Anything like that.
• 1:01:06
  And that's why, like, I prefer the original ending to the
• 1:01:10
  alternate ending. Yeah.
• 1:01:12
  But I also like, you know, and it is like, very much an homage
• 1:01:16
  to those 80s movies. So kind of ending it the same
• 1:01:20
  way that like Friday the 13th ended.
• 1:01:22
  Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.
• 1:01:24
  Yeah. Talia.
• 1:01:27
  She was awake, at least for the first part.
• 1:01:28
  She made a point of watching the skyline.
• 1:01:32
  She. That's her place.
• 1:01:33
  She had her own moment of like, Oh my God, this character is so
• 1:01:37
  stupid. This is not how you would act in
• 1:01:38
  that situation with a dog. Yeah, with Mark and Sheryl's
• 1:01:41
  dog. So I think Talia, like, this is
• 1:01:43
  a good movie for her. It's also an easy watch, but
• 1:01:46
  it's also like a, oh, my God, can you be any more
• 1:01:48
  stereotypical? So I think she'd give it a 7.
• 1:01:51
  Seven, OK, I think that's fair. Who's Zoe's ultimate warrior?
• 1:01:56
  Tough I think it's going to be Dollface because Dollface I feel
• 1:02:01
  like is the one that likes to play with her food the most.
• 1:02:04
  What happened? And Cordelia just attack you.
• 1:02:06
  Yeah, I'm trying to mark down these notes and she, she was.
• 1:02:10
  Over here she was on that. Panel, Yeah.
• 1:02:12
  Yeah, yeah. No, I think it's Dollface
• 1:02:15
  because I think Dollface plays with her food the most and Zoe
• 1:02:18
  eats the slowest. OK, that's that's my only
• 1:02:21
  justification for that. All right, Cordelia, what are
• 1:02:25
  your thoughts on the movie? Is it a hoot or a holler?
• 1:02:27
  Well, I can get it. There we go.
• 1:02:29
  OK, wait. Say again.
• 1:02:33
  What was it? OK, Good job.
• 1:02:37
  Thank you Cordelia for that insight.
• 1:02:39
  I mean, I can't argue with that. I mean, that's facts right
• 1:02:43
  there, spitting facts. Just about to jump on Scout
• 1:02:46
  right now. Oh.
• 1:02:47
  Boy. OK, who'd you relate to?
• 1:02:52
  So I related to Mike because he got stabbed with a fucking deck
• 1:02:57
  post in the bottom right quadrant of his stomach and
• 1:03:00
  that's where my bleeding issue was and that's where I am.
• 1:03:05
  No joke, I'm it's like I'm wearing a purple belt right now.
• 1:03:09
  Your purple belt. Yeah.
• 1:03:10
  You study Kung Fu. Yep.
• 1:03:13
  It's, it's, you know, when that happened, I was like, wow, I
• 1:03:17
  feel super immersed in this movie because I know exactly how
• 1:03:19
  Mike feels right now. Yeah, that's like a whole other
• 1:03:22
  level of being able to relate. Yeah, 10 out of 10 absolutely
• 1:03:26
  recommend get surgery before watching a movie so you can
• 1:03:30
  relate to the injuries. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:31
  Cool. I'll do that next time then.
• 1:03:34
  I think I, I think I related to told Baghead there I like to say
• 1:03:42
  some music. OK, I was going to say which
• 1:03:45
  which part? Yeah, like I, I liked it.
• 1:03:47
  I like to say some music. He fucking rules.
• 1:03:50
  He's also just fucking creepy. I love that character so much.
• 1:03:53
  Yeah. OK, do we have A tag on?
• 1:03:59
  I I like my punch up. I've never overestimate the
• 1:04:03
  kindness of strangers. OK.
• 1:04:05
  I like that too. That's that's good.
• 1:04:07
  I'll do that too. It's a little punch up.
• 1:04:08
  All right, all right, Dream sequel.
• 1:04:12
  OK, like I said, I want something that's like takes into
• 1:04:16
  account like doorbell video cameras.
• 1:04:19
  Well, OK, well First off, do we go from like a true sequel to
• 1:04:23
  this or do we split off? Like do we go from the original
• 1:04:27
  and do a sequel to that one? Because like if, if we do a
• 1:04:32
  sequel to this one right here, you have to bring them back as
• 1:04:34
  like supernatural ghosts, like people.
• 1:04:37
  Yeah, I kind of want to do. Or they could be Michael Myers
• 1:04:41
  and Halloween 4 again, all burnt up and super strong.
• 1:04:44
  I just wanted to be kind of nebulous, like, where in the
• 1:04:49
  Canon does this belong, you know?
• 1:04:51
  Are these the? Same strangers, yeah.
• 1:04:54
  Like we just kind of, we icebox it.
• 1:04:57
  We don't really address it. My I, it has to be the same
• 1:05:00
  people because I I don't like the idea of it being just
• 1:05:03
  anybody. You mean you don't want them to
• 1:05:07
  like? It's not spoil anything.
• 1:05:09
  It's not spoil anything. OK, OK.
• 1:05:12
  Is there, I'm sure there are plenty of people that haven't
• 1:05:14
  watched it that might what, like they're waiting for the
• 1:05:17
  Supercuts. Jesse, we're going to watch the
• 1:05:19
  Supercuts. Yeah, we're going to go watch
• 1:05:21
  the Super. We're going to take our happy
• 1:05:22
  asses and go watch that in the theater and then be pissed.
• 1:05:24
  Off It might be a lot better as a supercut, honestly, we.
• 1:05:28
  We've been so optimistic throughout this whole franchise
• 1:05:31
  we have, but OK, yeah, I just want to leave it kind of
• 1:05:37
  nebulous. I want it to be the same
• 1:05:38
  strangers, but we don't really address where.
• 1:05:41
  Like what? It could be is Canon, yeah,
• 1:05:44
  between killings of the first one and the second one or
• 1:05:46
  something like that. Because I wanted to.
• 1:05:48
  I wanted to have TV logic where it's like, well, this technology
• 1:05:54
  didn't exist until. Whatever.
• 1:05:56
  Fucking year. But we're pretending that I
• 1:05:59
  don't care about that shit. I want modern technology.
• 1:06:03
  I don't have to think too much about it.
• 1:06:04
  This is not a franchise like where I should have to think
• 1:06:06
  about continuity too much. I just want people being creepy,
• 1:06:09
  killing strangers that are going through familial drama.
• 1:06:11
  Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:06:13
  So yeah, we don't have to get into the nitty gritty details of
• 1:06:17
  that either. I mean, that's just how you
• 1:06:19
  that's the basic outline to any Strangers movie, and I'm OK with
• 1:06:22
  keeping that formula going, Yeah.
• 1:06:24
  All right, what would Dom do? Well, I think Dom would have
• 1:06:30
  gotten that police car to like go like everybody.
• 1:06:34
  Like it all plays out the same, like everybody dies except for
• 1:06:37
  Dom. But because, you know, Dom, like
• 1:06:41
  the Fast and Furious crew, can't stand up against this crew right
• 1:06:45
  here, OK? But Dom, yeah, he gets that car
• 1:06:48
  to go and he's able to escape in time.
• 1:06:50
  Except I want there to be a chase scene with the flaming
• 1:06:54
  truck, but Dom's also in a flaming car, but he doesn't get
• 1:06:57
  burnt through the power of plot armor.
• 1:06:58
  It's like the car in Fast and Furious 5 that explodes on him
• 1:07:02
  as he's racing. He does that, yeah, because he
• 1:07:05
  like, he unlocks a hidden potential in whatever vehicle is
• 1:07:08
  he's in. Exactly, Yeah.
• 1:07:10
  OK. I think that's it for that
• 1:07:14
  stuff, right? I did pull a review.
• 1:07:17
  Yeah. Wait.
• 1:07:19
  Oh yeah, Yeah, we do that one first, right?
• 1:07:23
  And this normally I try and pick reviews that actually explain
• 1:07:30
  like the problems people actually have with the movie.
• 1:07:35
  This one I picked just because they were so unnecessarily
• 1:07:43
  passionate with how they wrote this.
• 1:07:45
  Every sentence ended with an exclamation point that's not
• 1:07:47
  going to read it. OK, good.
• 1:07:50
  This film is about a daughter character who went to boarding
• 1:07:52
  school. The family decided to stay in
• 1:07:54
  their relative's house along the way.
• 1:07:56
  As it turns out, the both the people in the house were already
• 1:07:59
  murdered by three masked unknown people, two female and 1 male.
• 1:08:04
  Entire film is wasting too much time to set up the killing
• 1:08:07
  scene. Facing is also too slow, full of
• 1:08:11
  plot holes. The film even indicates it's a
• 1:08:14
  true event, but instead it's not realistic at all.
• 1:08:18
  The first killing scene when both mother and daughter
• 1:08:20
  character lock in a room. The killer waiting too long to
• 1:08:25
  break in. Still the killer managed to stab
• 1:08:27
  the mother to death. The daughter runs away from the
• 1:08:30
  roof. Most dumb one is the father's
• 1:08:34
  dead. Wait, like the roof is chasing
• 1:08:36
  her? She's running away from the
• 1:08:37
  roof. Yes.
• 1:08:39
  OK. Just wanted to clarify.
• 1:08:41
  He crashes the car with his son. He let his son go, sure his leg
• 1:08:45
  can't move, his head sure can, right?
• 1:08:49
  This is the only one that doesn't have an excavation.
• 1:08:53
  He counted himself down there, just his head.
• 1:08:55
  Why don't he try to fight the killer with his head?
• 1:08:59
  Or why he doesn't even unlock his seat but then just wait to
• 1:09:02
  be killed? The son can easily break into
• 1:09:06
  his shop without any force of entry.
• 1:09:09
  Both daughter and son characters don't even ask anyone in the
• 1:09:12
  neighborhood for help, just scream nonsense all the way.
• 1:09:16
  When escaping along the road, the son character easily hit a
• 1:09:21
  female mass killer with his back in it eventually rapidly stabbed
• 1:09:24
  her to death. What?
• 1:09:26
  So we're just getting a recap of the movie here.
• 1:09:29
  He later gets hurt by another killer with an axe and falls in
• 1:09:32
  the pool and saves by the daughter character.
• 1:09:35
  The daughter character kills another female mass killer with
• 1:09:37
  a shotgun in the car. Another dumb scene.
• 1:09:40
  The daughter burns the car drive by the male killer when he fails
• 1:09:45
  to ram her. Then he still managed to drive
• 1:09:48
  again and get out to kill the daughter again.
• 1:09:51
  He passed out after that. Oh my.
• 1:09:54
  God, he awakens again and tries to kill the daughter who already
• 1:09:57
  escaped at the back of a car. Jesus Christ the male killer hit
• 1:10:02
  by the daughter. Most frustrating scene is the
• 1:10:05
  very end. Both son and daughter characters
• 1:10:08
  sent to the hospital and end with the cliffhanger scene
• 1:10:11
  musters the male killer character not dead yet.
• 1:10:16
  I I've been translating a lot of these sentences.
• 1:10:19
  I don't know what that one was meant to say.
• 1:10:21
  Yeah, OK. Really wasting time to watch.
• 1:10:25
  Is that it? Yes, that was, that was, that
• 1:10:28
  was a lot. That's that's my next audition
• 1:10:33
  monologue. That right there.
• 1:10:35
  OK, You know that that. Yeah, I, you know, I don't even
• 1:10:39
  know that one mentally wore me down.
• 1:10:44
  So I'm really listening to an old season of Potlatum.
• 1:10:48
  It's cycle 13 and they were talking about one of the models
• 1:10:54
  is kind of given a semi narrator position by, you know,
• 1:10:57
  production. But the way she describes setups
• 1:11:00
  always sounds like a dream. Like we arrived to this theater
• 1:11:03
  and there's a famous person there and also a chair and like
• 1:11:07
  like given the narrator role, but maybe not super suited for
• 1:11:10
  it. And that's what this review
• 1:11:12
  makes you think of. That's.
• 1:11:18
  Perfect, Yeah. OK, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:11:21
  I don't know. I I think one of the one of the
• 1:11:24
  things I heard in there was that they said the pacing was bad.
• 1:11:26
  And I don't agree with that, with this.
• 1:11:28
  I feel like this movie flew by, like there's nothing.
• 1:11:31
  I don't feel like it ever drags. Once it goes, it gets going fast
• 1:11:34
  and hard. I absolutely disagree with the
• 1:11:37
  pacing issue and it taking too long to set up the killing.
• 1:11:40
  I can see how some of those things are a little bit
• 1:11:43
  confusing. I don't, I don't know what this
• 1:11:44
  person wanted Mike to do fighting with his head.
• 1:11:47
  I don't know what that means. Like did they mean like with his
• 1:11:50
  brains or like is he supposed to head butt the killer?
• 1:11:52
  I think brains, but like I The thing is I just it's supposed to
• 1:12:00
  be a suspenseful movie. It's not like all body count
• 1:12:03
  these like the stranger type movies are supposed to be like
• 1:12:06
  long suspenseful set ups and stuff like that.
• 1:12:08
  You're. Supposed to get to a point where
• 1:12:10
  you're like Oh my God please just actually kill.
• 1:12:12
  Them yeah, yeah, like so I and they do that with this movie and
• 1:12:15
  I think it works really well here so, you know, like, I don't
• 1:12:18
  know, like if you don't like those types of like those long
• 1:12:20
  suspenseful build up scenes, you're probably not going to
• 1:12:23
  enjoy this for sure, but if that's your jam yeah like this
• 1:12:27
  movie's got tons of that. Well, it's like I was I was
• 1:12:29
  telling you I because I knew we weren't going to make it to club
• 1:12:34
  last month. I was finishing up Pet Sematary
• 1:12:38
  last night in bed and the whole book like, you know, it feels
• 1:12:42
  just like very dark and sad and depressing and like I was like,
• 1:12:46
  this will be fine for me to read in bed.
• 1:12:49
  Unlikely shining where I felt like I couldn't safely be in a
• 1:12:52
  dark room and I forgot how utterly bulking terrifying the
• 1:12:58
  last 50 pages or so hard. And I was just like sitting
• 1:13:01
  there in the dark going everything is shadows and
• 1:13:04
  everything is terrifying like it was awful.
• 1:13:08
  And that's how I feel like these movies are meant to be enjoyed
• 1:13:13
  because it's like, you've got these long setups and then you
• 1:13:17
  have this big cathartic release and it's you're it's it feels
• 1:13:21
  cathartic because it's so tense and scary up to that point.
• 1:13:24
  Yeah. And if that's not the type of
• 1:13:26
  movie you like or want to watch, that's valid.
• 1:13:29
  And if you don't want the killers to have a sense of being
• 1:13:32
  supernatural, also valid. But I.
• 1:13:36
  Don't think there's. Anything that come to this film
• 1:13:38
  for. Yeah, I don't think there's
• 1:13:39
  anything that suggests they're supernatural.
• 1:13:41
  And that's, is that something that they said?
• 1:13:43
  No, that's kind of like me saying that because I do think
• 1:13:47
  that there is like a sense of like, well, that's a little bit
• 1:13:50
  unrealistic. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:52
  But you know, I just chalk it up to the slasher movie, you know,
• 1:13:55
  that's all it is. Did we have listener reviews?
• 1:13:59
  Listener reviews? Yes, we did.
• 1:14:00
  Yay. All right, let's get them busted
• 1:14:02
  out. Busted.
• 1:14:08
  So let's start off over on Instagram.
• 1:14:10
  Yeah, I think actually they're all on Instagram.
• 1:14:14
  So we have Tucker, who says not as scary as the first.
• 1:14:17
  I'm pretty illogical at times, but it's fun.
• 1:14:19
  Can't be stylish in its own way and shot in Kentucky so it gets
• 1:14:22
  a pass 7 outs in. All right.
• 1:14:25
  You know, you know, the Kentucky pass is like a thing like it it
• 1:14:29
  bumps, it's a bump of like a whole score for sure.
• 1:14:33
  Yeah. But I mean, I agree it's not as
• 1:14:35
  scary as the first. Like I definitely like the first
• 1:14:37
  one is definitely the go to if you want to be creeped out.
• 1:14:41
  But yeah, I agree. Like it's got a less style to
• 1:14:43
  it. I agree with the camp comment
• 1:14:47
  too. This is kind of campy.
• 1:14:49
  All right next we have Michael E Howard who says this being the
• 1:14:54
  first time watching strangers pray at night I wasn't sure that
• 1:14:57
  I was or what I was expecting but this was not it.
• 1:15:00
  I was waiting for the tense scenes to happen or some fun new
• 1:15:02
  kills. Unfortunately this felt more
• 1:15:04
  like a typical slasher in the woods film.
• 1:15:06
  That being said, I would give this A7 as a slasher is pretty
• 1:15:10
  decent, but not in the same caliber as the original.
• 1:15:13
  Yeah. No, I get that.
• 1:15:14
  I get that. Absolutely.
• 1:15:15
  It's not the same. It's definitely not the same if
• 1:15:18
  you are expecting like that same amount of tension that's the
• 1:15:22
  first one has. Let's just, I don't know, like
• 1:15:25
  the way that the first one was like shot and it's just that
• 1:15:29
  story was more tense. All around.
• 1:15:32
  And I think it's one of those things too that like the first
• 1:15:37
  time you see it and you're expecting it to be like the
• 1:15:40
  first one. I can see how it would be
• 1:15:41
  disappointing. I every rewatch I've gone into
• 1:15:46
  knowing what kind of movie it is and I love it for what it is.
• 1:15:50
  I do too. Yeah, and it's one of those that
• 1:15:54
  we have the same killers but different, like protagonists.
• 1:15:57
  And I feel like it makes it a little bit easier for me to
• 1:15:59
  separate the tones of the movies.
• 1:16:01
  Yeah, for sure. OK, well, here's a different
• 1:16:03
  take. Robert of Tones says.
• 1:16:05
  This is second one, right? I love this one better than the
• 1:16:07
  first. You know what, Robert?
• 1:16:10
  It depends on what kind of a mood you're going for, but for
• 1:16:13
  me, this is what I definitely read for more.
• 1:16:14
  I get it, the first is my favorite picture but this one is
• 1:16:18
  a great one. I I can understand why people
• 1:16:19
  would love this one. And then we have Sammy says.
• 1:16:21
  That pool fight scene is so dope.
• 1:16:24
  Absolutely. That's the that's the peak of
• 1:16:26
  the movie. Whenever that part happens,
• 1:16:28
  that's it. Like we we know that that has
• 1:16:32
  hit its high point, yes. It was funny because like, we
• 1:16:35
  were like, oh, want to order in some food?
• 1:16:38
  And actually I said I wanted to order in some food.
• 1:16:40
  And since I just had surgery, Travis didn't say no.
• 1:16:44
  And we're like, well, it'll take about 20 minutes, so let's order
• 1:16:47
  it 20 minutes from the end of the film.
• 1:16:49
  And we both just like instinctively knew it was after
• 1:16:51
  the pool scene. We're like, this is where we
• 1:16:53
  this is the time where we ordered the food and it was the
• 1:16:55
  correct time. So we do have some stuff from
• 1:16:57
  Blue Sky. Also, we have Brett who just
• 1:16:59
  says this is a goodie, and Lord Zombie says I got my empty water
• 1:17:04
  bottle ready in case of an asthma attack.
• 1:17:06
  Wait, wrong strangers. Don't worry about it, we'll be
• 1:17:10
  talking about that one. My lips just went into like a a
• 1:17:14
  disappeared line. I'm I'm yeah.
• 1:17:20
  Listen, if you all again budget to your patrons and that can be
• 1:17:25
  past and future. Yeah, you've heard me rant about
• 1:17:29
  this. All of this could have been
• 1:17:30
  saved if he, you know, had a cool ass inhaler key chain like
• 1:17:36
  I do and actually understood how his inhaler worked because you
• 1:17:40
  don't like you don't just breathe in vaporized air.
• 1:17:45
  That's not that's not what an inhaler is.
• 1:17:47
  It's actual medication. It's a steroid.
• 1:17:50
  Yeah, you don't. They do.
• 1:17:52
  That's the difference. OK, cool.
• 1:17:55
  So that's it. That's it for the reviews and I
• 1:17:57
  think that's it for this episode.
• 1:17:58
  I think so, yeah. Guess what?
• 1:18:00
  Next week we're also gonna be kind of a bummer, but a fun time
• 1:18:04
  because we're talking about together.
• 1:18:06
  Yeah, it's my pick right now. I fucking love that movie.
• 1:18:10
  It's on Hulu and I get that they're owned by the same
• 1:18:12
  company, but this is still really fucking funny to me.
• 1:18:14
  It's also on Disney Plus. That is so weird.
• 1:18:18
  Disney is completely different than what they were when they
• 1:18:20
  first launched. I kinda I kinda wanna watch this
• 1:18:23
  on Disney when we watch it this weekend just so I can say we
• 1:18:26
  watch ticket we're on Disney. It's fine.
• 1:18:29
  It's fucking weird fine. You can also rent it from
• 1:18:31
  YouTube, Google TV, Apple TV, Fandango at home or Prime.
• 1:18:35
  Yeah. If you haven't seen this movie,
• 1:18:37
  definitely watch it before listening to us discuss it.
• 1:18:40
  We loved it when we saw it in theaters.
• 1:18:44
  I'm, I'm really excited to watch it again.
• 1:18:46
  That will be a second time watch for us.
• 1:18:47
  So yeah, I'm looking forward to. It very excited about that one.
• 1:18:52
  So do your homework, be prepared.
• 1:18:55
  Or, you know, if you can't watch it right now, I get it, but
• 1:19:00
  maybe save that episode until you can't watch it that way.
• 1:19:04
  Do whatever you want to. Do I guess, yeah.
• 1:19:05
  Live your life. But yeah, you know, we all know
• 1:19:10
  I'm not good at not spoiling things.
• 1:19:11
