• 0:44
  Speaker 1: like this.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: He's cute. I mean, he doesn't get a whole lot
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: to do in the It movies other than.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I was starting to say, he doesn't get a lot
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: to do as Georgie. Every other kid has tons to do.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Georgie, not so much.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's cool that he has kind of a
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: main role in this. He got his due.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it goes weirder places that The horse remains involved, though,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: throughout the movie. If you like horses, there's also an
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: occasional horse that shows up.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: I have noticed as an adult, air quotes, watching it,
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: there's strange little nuances that make the show even stranger
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: than what it was. Like there's one, for example, they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: all sitting around the house, the phone rings, the teenage
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: daughter picks it up, and she's like, oh, hello. And
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: she starts talking all flirty, like, oh, not doing much. And,
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: you know, just going on like, oh, teenage girl talking
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: to a teenage boy. And then all of a sudden
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: she's like, dad, it's for you. And hands the phone
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: to her dad. It's her dad's boss that was on
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: the other end of the phone. So there were other
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: things too, but that was the one that stands out
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: I was like, there's a deeper level to this that
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: I don't think I ever picked up on before.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Weird.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: Like, I did laugh when she busted it out at
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: the party and the girl's like, somebody's been shopping at
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: Urban Outfitters.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, that was actually good.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: And then there was probably an Are You Afraid of
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the Dark episode. Or like Goosebumps or something like that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: This seemed like a really long episode of Goosebumps. Not
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: as good as Goosebumps.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Something like that, surely.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: First of all, is every episode of Are You Afraid
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: of the Dark centered around here's a kid talking to
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: some creepy adult that they really probably shouldn't be.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: A lot of them.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Because I remember in your stories, I was like, why
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: are these kids just hanging, hanging around with weird older people?
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: They all have part-time jobs working for old German people.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: This, this kid like gets his picture taken at school.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Who is like, creepy looking guy that would run.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: A photography studio is he german no he's just like
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: a weird like middle-aged dorky white guy that needs a
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: shave and like he just looks like he would be
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: preying on these children essentially but like he goes by
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: himself to his photo studio oh no.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah does that not red flags all over the place and.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just like this is twisted so yes the idea
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is already out there and darker on the kids version.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Really so it gets yeah I guess I won't spoil
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: everything for you because it gets even weirder at the
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: end and there's an end and then sort of a
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: false end and I don't know it's are you afraid
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: of the dark.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of homicidal kids on that show.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah I expected his death to somehow tie into all
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: this yeah who hit.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Him I don't know And even the sheriff being like,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: because the sheriff even mentions like, oh yeah, I knew
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: your dad. So I was like, well that's.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: Gonna, nope.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: He tells her, you're a brave little girl.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Why? What happened that night? Flashback story at least?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Something? Versus taking screws out of a grate and crawling
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: in through a hole?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: That was just weird.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: That made me so mad.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: That's so stupid. dawn so now i'm like okay we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: assuming all right because she even says oh this must
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: be right before she died right before she died.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Okay i'll give him a point for that there.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Was yes i mean well i mean almost more frustrating
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: because they did work it in so that it would
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: have made sense to come back to that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Point and they don't ever touch it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Shouldn't one of the two of you be pissed about
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: that i don't know which but somebody in this scenario
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: needs to be creeped out by it because i.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Am I strained my eyes watching this movie.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because every scene is in the fucking dark.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Because it's so much dark.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Like, I actually spent probably 20 minutes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Adjusting the picture on my TV. Because I'm like, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: know this is supposed to be dark, but it can't.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You're turning lights on in the room. Is this helping? No, damn.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I just watched it on my laptop. And then was
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: holding an inch away from my face. Because I was like, what?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: That's bad for your eyes. What's happening? Well, I was like,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: surely it's not meant to be this dark. And then
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: later I watched something else.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: And I was like, oh, God.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I can hear the brightness. I'm out of here.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I don't know what a burning... I should know what
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: a burning Polaroid smells like, but I don't.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Surprisingly.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Given my experience with photography and fire. But if you
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: lit anything on fire in a crowded school cafeteria, people
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: are going to notice. Let alone if a girl is
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: on fire in a crowded cafeteria.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Someone throw some water on that. Everyone just stands around like, ah, ah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: And then two girls ultimately were on fire in that scene.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: They were just like, this is kind of weird.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: She was walking those kids around the house with a
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: kerosene lamp.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: It's another one of those moments. I was like, why
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: is it so dark?
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: But there's electric lights in every single room of that house.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: She turns on the light switch while carrying the kerosene lamp.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense. That's not how that works.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: But then there's one lamp hanging from the middle of
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the room that's just enough height that you run into
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: it and pass out.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Which made the greatest noise when she ran into it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Why were they wearing costumes because I thought I was
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: like okay I guess it's a Halloween party but then
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: half of.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Them weren't in costumes and then they never nothing was
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: decorated for Halloween they never mentioned it was Halloween I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: like so what kind of costume and it didn't matter
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: nobody the costume went together like gypsies and death I
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: don't know like it was just a bunch of random
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: ass costumes that they picked up at Spencer's one day
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: I'm just I don't I don't know what the point
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: of making it like that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know why they made a point to say, like,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: but this party's on a weeknight. And then, like, never
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: brought that up again. I was like, why would you
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: add that?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Well, because she went to school the next day.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: That's the only thing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I guess, but you could still go to school Monday
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: at the same shrine with me there.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: That's crazy talk.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: The number of times that they should not have split
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: up and still split up, I was like, damn it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I've watched a lot of Scooby-Doo. That's how this works.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: You guys go that way. We're going this way. You're
• 7:23
