• 0:06
  Hello. What's your least favorite scary
• 0:08
  movie? Is Tamara here?
• 0:13
  Welcome to This Very Scary Movie, The podcast where we talk
• 0:15
  about the good, the bad, the ugly and the absurd, and all of
• 0:18
  our favorite. And least favorite?
• 0:20
  Scary movies. Because we believe every horror
• 0:22
  movie rightfully has its fan base even.
• 0:24
  If we don't always get. It my name is Travis.
• 0:27
  And happy birthday, Travis. Thank you.
• 0:29
  Yeah, this is my birthday pic for the the show this month, and
• 0:33
  I went with the strangers, as you can tell by clicking on this
• 0:36
  episode. So yeah, I guess we're going to
• 0:40
  get into that. I guess we are.
• 0:42
  I like how you did that opening as deadpan as she does in the
• 0:46
  movie. Well yeah, do I half ass things?
• 0:50
  No, but. I put my whole ass into
• 0:52
  everything I do. Yeah, you sure do.
• 0:56
  OK, so yeah, let's let's just get into it.
• 0:59
  Yeah. So like, we have our polls,
• 1:01
  which we did a poll for Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the
• 1:05
  beginning last week, and we just asked everybody, did you need
• 1:10
  the Oh, fuck, I typed the question wrong.
• 1:13
  I said, did you need the original story?
• 1:18
  Origin is what I meant there. And 11% say, yeah, they needed
• 1:22
  it. And 89% say, Nah, they didn't
• 1:24
  need it. Listen, I found some of my
• 1:26
  people last night. Shout out to Johnny of the
• 1:31
  Patreon. Johnny.
• 1:32
  Also agrees that the beginning hits a little bit harder than
• 1:37
  the remake. Yeah, you know, and I'm happy
• 1:40
  that you guys have that, honestly, like, you know, it's,
• 1:42
  it's good for the people that want it.
• 1:44
  I just, I didn't need it. I'm I don't hate the movie
• 1:47
  though. I guess it's just some of the
• 1:50
  shit in there just wasn't necessary and it's still OK.
• 1:54
  Obviously I'm saying no, I don't need that shit.
• 1:56
  OK, so put that all the way. Let's get into The Strangers.
• 2:00
  How about it? How about it?
• 2:02
  How about it? So the Strangers released May
• 2:05
  30th, 2008. We watched it on our Blu-ray.
• 2:09
  Blu-ray. The unrated version yet again,
• 2:12
  people. Unrated.
• 2:14
  I don't even know the differences between this one.
• 2:16
  I didn't even look it up this. Time noticeable differences.
• 2:22
  If you want to watch it here now in August, you can watch it on
• 2:25
  Prime, but if you don't have that, you can rent it on Amazon,
• 2:30
  Apple, YouTube. Give Jeff Bezos your money
• 2:33
  either way, apparently. If you don't want to do that,
• 2:35
  give it to these other super chill people like the Apple,
• 2:39
  YouTube and I don't know, Fandango.
• 2:41
  You guys might be cool. I don't know.
• 2:43
  I don't know what you're all's dealings are I?
• 2:44
  Don't know enough about Fandango to say one word or the other.
• 2:47
  So you have options. Written and directed by Brian
• 2:51
  Bertino. Music by Toman Dandy.
• 2:54
  That's a fun name. All lowercase, one word.
• 2:57
  OK, so that's a stage. Name.
• 2:59
  Yeah, definitely. OK.
• 3:00
  Special effects makeup. William Parcel or Purcell?
• 3:04
  Starring Scott Speedman No. Hold on, I need to go back to
• 3:08
  that. It can't be Parcel or Purcell.
• 3:10
  It's Purcell. OK?
• 3:12
  I fucked it up the first time, OK?
• 3:14
  I'm leaving all of this. OK, fair enough.
• 3:17
  All right, Starring Scott Speedman, you have to say it
• 3:19
  really fast because. Yeah, this is speeding, yeah.
• 3:22
  As James with Tyler as Kristen, Jim Award as dollface, Kip Weeks
• 3:28
  as men in mask who I always refer to as bag face or bag
• 3:32
  head. Yeah, I always put bag head,
• 3:34
  Yeah. Or sometimes I just wrote man in
• 3:36
  all caps yeah. Yeah, that works too.
• 3:39
  Laura Margolis as pin up Girl and Glenn Howerton, the Golden
• 3:44
  God himself as Mike. Listen, In 2008, he hadn't even
• 3:48
  begun to peek. He hadn't yet.
• 3:50
  No. This is prime Dennis Reynolds
• 3:52
  right here, too. He was.
• 3:54
  So normal. I overheard him in the behind
• 3:56
  the scenes stuff you were watching.
• 3:57
  He was so normal sounding. He did the most Dennis thing
• 4:00
  ever. He was talking about, like, I
• 4:02
  don't want the killers to get caught because, like, I just,
• 4:04
  you know, I like the idea of them going out there and
• 4:06
  continuing killing. Like, that's Dennis.
• 4:08
  Yeah. Because of the implication.
• 4:09
  Yeah. I was trying to figure out
• 4:11
  which. This is 2008, so this is like
• 4:13
  Season 3. It's Always Sunny right here.
• 4:15
  So. Yeah, OK, that's it for the
• 4:18
  cast. We got a small cast for this
• 4:19
  one. All right, time for our favorite
• 4:21
  game on the show. Budget or bugded?
• 4:25
  I feel like this is bugded. It barely meets it.
• 4:29
  It's not $1,000,000. That is so much more than I
• 4:31
  expected. I know I didn't expect this to
• 4:33
  be a $9 million production, but here we are.
• 4:36
  Opening Box office 20 million Worldwide Gross 82,000,000 IMDb
• 4:41
  score 6.1 Wow. That's a little rude.
• 4:45
  I'm a little bit shocked myself, honestly.
• 4:47
  That's when we're I don't almost with it being that right there.
• 4:52
  I would maybe expect Pray at Night to maybe be higher because
• 4:56
  I know a lot of people like that movie.
• 4:58
  I'm going to go take a peek. I'm not going to tell you what
• 5:01
  pray at night is OK, but I'm going to just do a little peak
• 5:05
  seas. I think we can all say
• 5:08
  confidently that Chapter 1 is going to be below both of them.
• 5:12
  Oh no, pray at night is lower. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 5:16
  Is it in the facts? I'm.
• 5:17
  Not gonna tell you no. OK.
• 5:20
  That's not what we're doing here, which I do think that we
• 5:24
  actually did cover it for a Patreon bonus episode after we
• 5:27
  we were talking about Chapter 1, but we looked up the scores for.
• 5:32
  Oh yeah, I think 2:00. 1008 and 3:00 at night.
• 5:34
  I think you're right. We did.
• 5:36
  OK so I have 3 movies from 2008. I have a theme.
• 5:40
  OK OK. It's low body count, high
• 5:43
  stress. Oh, oh, OK, OK.
• 5:46
  So movie #1 you, I know you will agree with me, it's Eden Lake.
• 5:50
  Oh, I knew you were going to say that.
• 5:52
  That was this year, too. Yeah.
• 5:54
  What collectively traumatized us in 2008.
• 5:58
  Oh my God. Like I I'm looking at the list
• 6:01
  of 2008 horror movies and it's stacked.
• 6:03
  It's got oh. My God, what was happening to us
• 6:06
  as a society? Was that the recession?
• 6:11
  Maybe no. I feel like our lives have been
• 6:13
  in constant recession. So that's true.
• 6:15
  It all started early. We've been pinpointed on just
• 6:17
  2008. I think that's like the
• 6:18
  downtown. That was that was a housing
• 6:20
  crisis moment, right I. Think it was around that time.
• 6:23
  Not that we would have been cognizant of it, but.
• 6:25
  I, you know, like I remember, like hearing people mention it,
• 6:28
  but as a kid, I'm like, fuck that.
• 6:30
  I don't give a shit about that. Oh young Travis.
• 6:35
  OK so Emeleek came out September 12th, 2008.
• 6:39
  Worldwide gross of 3.9 million. I don't have a budget and an
• 6:43
  IMDb score of 6.7. I still have not watched it
• 6:47
  again since we covered it on the show.
• 6:50
  It's it's so stressful to me. Yeah.
• 6:52
  It's it's a pretty fucking stressful.
• 6:54
  It's the most stressful of the movies I have here for sure.
• 6:57
  You have pictures of me watching that for the show and I'm like
• 7:02
  twisted into a pretzel because I like, I can even take notes.
• 7:04
  I was just so uncomfortable, the whole.
• 7:06
  Time, yeah, if you haven't seen it, check it out.
• 7:09
  Maybe. I don't know if you're into
• 7:11
  being like super stressed out, for sure.
• 7:13
  Movie #2 I don't personally I agree with this but I know a lot
• 7:17
  of people feel this way. Lake Mungo.
• 7:20
  We we are both in the camp that Lake Mungo's night that it's not
• 7:24
  the bee's knees people. It's not the scariest fucking
• 7:27
  movie out there. It's not all that and a bag of
• 7:29
  chips. No, it's not the greatest thing
• 7:31
  since sliced bread. Thank you.
• 7:33
  Thank you for backing me up here.
• 7:34
  Yeah. It's not, it's not.
• 7:36
  It's. Making fun of you, but OK.
• 7:37
  I know, I know. But I I got to accept it when I
• 7:40
  can get it however I can. Yeah, like Mungo is just like, I
• 7:43
  know people hype it up as a super scary movie, so that's why
• 7:46
  I included it here because, you know, it's not about what I
• 7:48
  think, it's about what other people think too.
• 7:50
  Yeah, I we gave it. We gave it the old college try.
• 7:55
  By that I mean we were in college when we.
• 7:57
  Watched it, that's true. We actually did give it a
• 7:59
  college try. OK so that movie came out June
• 8:03
  8th or no? June 18th 2008.
• 8:07
  Budget of 1.4 million. Worldwide gross of 10,000.
• 8:13
  Wow. IMDb score 6.2.
• 8:15
  Talk about cult hit. Yeah, that's a cult.
• 8:18
  Yeah, that's one of those that I just don't get.
• 8:21
  I think that movie probably does have its own cult falling online
• 8:24
  too, yeah. We'll we'll need to cover it
• 8:26
  sometime, but we're going to have to like bring on somebody
• 8:28
  who absolutely likes the movie because I truly, I have a hard
• 8:33
  time when people, I read people talking about it online and I
• 8:36
  just don't. I see people with us too on
• 8:40
  there. I see a lot of people like I
• 8:41
  watch like Mungo and it's not that crazy, you know?
• 8:44
  And I I like seeing those because it makes me feel
• 8:46
  validated in the final movie. Martyrs that released September
• 8:52
  3rd, 2008. 3.3 million budget, 1.1 million gross. 7 out of 10
• 8:57
  on IMDb. It's a good movie.
• 9:01
  I think it gets over hyped as like yeah like the most intense
• 9:05
  movie you'll ever see. That's how I feel about.
• 9:07
  It it is high stress. Though low body.
• 9:09
  Count. I don't think it's a bad movie,
• 9:11
  it's just not as good as people tell me it's.
• 9:15
  It gets blown out of proportion, I think, like, it did an extreme
• 9:19
  thing, and then people are like, Oh my God, how could you ever,
• 9:22
  you know? Yeah, it's OK.
• 9:25
  It's a good movie still. I like it.
• 9:27
  OK, yeah, let's do some tag lines.
• 9:30
  Tag lines tag lines tag. Lines The tag line on the poster
• 9:33
  we got to first one. We tell ourselves there's
• 9:36
  nothing to fear, but sometimes we're wrong.
• 9:38
  I never tell myself there's nothing to fear.
• 9:40
  I am afraid of everything. You like, run out of the house
• 9:43
  at the slightest bit of sleep Fear.
• 9:46
  It depends. It depends.
• 9:48
  If I think it's like a bug or something, I will run out.
• 9:50
  If I think somebody has legitimately broken into our
• 9:52
  house and I'm like, well, this is how I go, I guess I'm going
• 9:54
  to go back to sleep. So hopefully I'm murdered in my
• 9:57
  sleep. It's so weird knowing that.
• 9:59
  I don't understand that at all, but it's true.
• 10:02
  I can verify it. The second one inspired by true
• 10:05
  events and. True events being that break
• 10:09
  insurance happen. We'll get into it in a second.
• 10:12
  I've got some info on them more. Lock the door, pretend you're
• 10:18
  safe. That one, yeah, because we do a
• 10:22
  lot of times we're like, well, the door is locked, so.
• 10:24
  Obviously. Nobody has ever gotten around a
• 10:27
  locked door before. Yep.
• 10:29
  What would you do if this was happening to you?
• 10:32
  I just said. I you would stay in the house.
• 10:35
  Exactly. That's it.
• 10:36
  Yeah. Yeah, I've made my piece.
• 10:39
  In a way that almost kind of works because you're like
• 10:41
  stealing the satisfaction from them.
• 10:43
  They want you to put up a fight, but if you're not putting up a
• 10:45
  fight, they're like, fuck this, let's just go to the next house
• 10:47
  like. Well, first of all, I wouldn't
• 10:49
  have answered the door at 4:00 AM either.
• 10:51
  That's a great move, I. Say that you might have.
• 10:54
  I say that you would have. That I have done that.
• 10:56
  I have been woken up in the middle of the night by knocks at
• 10:59
  the door and I've answered it and I don't know why I do it.
• 11:01
  See, I'm. And those, those dudes were
• 11:03
  bounty hunters. They weren't even real police.
• 11:06
  We could have still. Got I know.
• 11:08
  Murdered. That happened y'all, It's like
• 11:11
  2:00 AM and. I was like, I'm going to grab a
• 11:13
  bat. It's a wiggle bat.
• 11:16
  It is plastic. Honestly, that is a good.
• 11:18
  That's a good setup for a horror movie, too.
• 11:20
  Bounty hunters knock at the door at 2:00 AM, They tell us, yeah,
• 11:23
  there's a guy on the loose, used to live here.
• 11:25
  We're looking for him. He might be here.
• 11:28
  And, like, now I have to go to bed with that.
• 11:31
  It was bad. Yeah, and we were convinced that
• 11:34
  the person was still using our addresses like.
• 11:37
  Maybe he's. Yeah, like maybe he's here now.
• 11:38
  Had he been hiding out there before we moved in?
• 11:40
  Like, was he using our back patio?
• 11:42
  Because that wasn't locked. OK, more, more tag lines.
• 11:46
  Because you were home, obviously.
• 11:48
  Yeah. And what are you afraid of?
• 11:52
  Please see the earlier discussion.
• 11:54
  Yeah, everything. See notes.
• 11:57
  OK, that's it for that. OK, so let's do some fun facts.
• 11:59
  Yes, please. OK, so they they wanted this
• 12:04
  movie to be super relatable to people.
• 12:06
  So they use the setting and a certain type of house to get
• 12:09
  that feel that's super grounded and super relatable that most
• 12:12
  people would live in. I'm going to have thoughts on
• 12:15
  that when we discuss. Go ahead and share now.
• 12:20
  I don't think a house that size is going to be super relatable
• 12:23
  to people. The tiny it's it's not a big
• 12:26
  house from. The outside it looks tiny.
• 12:29
  They have Scooby-doo level shenanigans of running from room
• 12:32
  to room inside though. OK, that's true.
• 12:36
  They were very meticulous with how they designed it.
• 12:38
  And The funny thing is, the outside of the house is a real
• 12:41
  house, but they did the interior on a sound stage.
• 12:44
  Yeah, no shit. Yeah, it's.
• 12:47
  And that makes sense. You're right.
• 12:48
  It it, it is kind of like a magical place.
• 12:51
  The way the decor is done definitely feels like oh this is
• 12:55
  my dad's house in like the 80s. Like it has been inherited and
• 12:59
  only slightly like updated since.
• 13:04
  Yeah, it's not that bizarre like, but it it is a decent
• 13:08
  house for sure. So yeah, they they had to do the
• 13:11
  interior stuff on a sound stage, which created some issues for
• 13:15
  the sound guys. So it was super echoey in there.
• 13:19
  Anytime that there would be like knocks or screams, the sound
• 13:21
  would like resonate for seconds after.
• 13:24
  So like they had to do a lot of editing after the fact to get it
• 13:27
  all super cool. I'm surprised they didn't sound
• 13:30
  proof it better, honestly. Like it's a sound stage, right?
• 13:34
  It's a, it must be like, you know, for purposes to be able to
• 13:37
  control that it should be in your control.
• 13:39
  But I don't know, maybe they were amateurs.
• 13:42
  So it was mostly inspired by true events.
• 13:45
  That's not necessarily a lie. So there's two parts of that.
• 13:48
  The first part is he was reading about the Tate murders, which
• 13:52
  were the murders by the Manson family.
• 13:55
  And he was reading a lot of like the detailed descriptions and he
• 13:59
  realized like these victims had no idea who these people were,
• 14:02
  what they were doing, why they were doing it, and they were
• 14:05
  never given a reason. So they like he started to
• 14:10
  wonder what it was like from the victims perspective and wanted
• 14:13
  to make a movie from that rather than like the killer's
• 14:15
  perspective. I'm just saying that that reads
• 14:18
  more as inspired by true events rather than based on true
• 14:21
  events. Here's another part.
• 14:23
  So here's something from his personal experience.
• 14:26
  He had something similar happened in this movie too.
• 14:29
  So it's like a meshing of the two.
• 14:31
  So it's that. And then also when he was a kid,
• 14:34
  him and his little sister were left alone in a remote house in
• 14:38
  the woods by themselves and people and.
• 14:41
  He just thought to himself, what if the Manson family came to
• 14:43
  murder me? No people came to his door and
• 14:46
  knocked on the door. His little sister answered it.
• 14:49
  They asked for somebody that does not live there, they told
• 14:54
  him no and they went away and those people ended up being a
• 14:57
  bunch of kids that were breaking into homes if there were no
• 15:01
  people there. See, and This is why my mom said
• 15:03
  I wasn't allowed to answer the door when I was home alone.
• 15:06
  She was right. Yeah.
• 15:08
  Well, no. And actually, if you answered
• 15:09
  the door, it would have saved you here.
• 15:12
  But it doesn't in this movie. Yeah, no, it's the opposite.
• 15:14
  You're fucked either way in this.
• 15:15
  Movie. Yeah, just don't, don't talk to
• 15:17
  strangers. Oh.
• 15:18
  Don't talk to Strange. It's a good tagline.
• 15:20
  It's a good tagline. Stranger danger.
• 15:23
  I'm gonna write both of these down because in 45 minutes when
• 15:26
  we get to it. Yeah.
• 15:28
  So to his credit, to the movie's marketing credit, there is truth
• 15:33
  to both of that. Like, I mean, like both of his
• 15:35
  stories were kind of combined here to tell this one story.
• 15:40
  Yeah, but again, that's just inspired by true events.
• 15:43
  Not it is. You're right.
• 15:45
  You're right. Yeah, OK, so he wrote the the
• 15:50
  screenplay. This was his third ever
• 15:51
  screenplay written. Wow.
• 15:53
  It was originally called The Faces and.
• 15:56
  The strangers is way better. I know, but I kind of get it.
• 16:00
  The faces we get, the three different faces, that's a little
• 16:02
  bit different. He got the movie funded by
• 16:05
  submitting the screenplay into a competition, and it ended up
• 16:08
  getting sold to Universal as a result.
• 16:10
  I don't know if he won, but yeah, it ended up being kind of
• 16:13
  cool. I mean, in a way he won.
• 16:15
  In a way he did, yeah. This kind of got his whole film
• 16:18
  career started. He wasn't going to be the
• 16:20
  director at first. They had two other people
• 16:24
  originally attached to it, First off Mark Romanick and the second
• 16:29
  one Justin Lynn. Oh, really?
• 16:33
  Mr. Fast and Furious, Tokyo Drift over here.
• 16:37
  Yeah, he was originally going to do it, but they both backed out.
• 16:39
  So it sat there for two years. It got passed from Universal to
• 16:43
  Rogue Pictures, and then once it got to Rogue Pictures, they're
• 16:46
  like, hey Brian, just fucking. What year was Tokyo drift?
• 16:48
  Justin Lynn might have been occupied cuz the first
• 16:53
  passengers was what, 03 so. I barely.
• 16:58
  Out of the possibility that he was.
• 17:00
  You know, like booked, I think it came out in 606, but this was
• 17:05
  all happening in 06. He was attached in 2006 to
• 17:08
  direct it. So yeah, it may have actually
• 17:11
  been like Fast and Furious was calling him.
• 17:15
  When family calls, you answer Yeah.
• 17:17
  Tokyo Dress 06. OK, so yeah, he must have been
• 17:20
  taken away by by Bama boy. Yeah, he's like, listen, Vin
• 17:24
  Diesel's got my number now. That's true, yeah.
• 17:26
  I don't need I don't need chicken shit gig.
• 17:29
  Him and Diesel had a falling out.
• 17:31
  Oh really? Vin Diesel had a falling out
• 17:33
  with somebody. It was after the fast sex.
• 17:36
  He was originally directing that and like, they did not get
• 17:38
  along, so he left. OK.
• 17:41
  And in the final bit of trivia here, the original ending was
• 17:44
  going to be different. It was written differently in
• 17:47
  the screenplay and they actually filmed it all too.
• 17:48
  But it showed them actually removing their masks.
• 17:50
  We saw faces and all. They wandered that home forbid
• 17:54
  they cleaned up the crime scene, they changed into their clothes
• 17:58
  and then they went about their way.
• 18:01
  But they did a test screening and they decided to change it
• 18:05
  after the fact, which is where our boy Kevin Groider saw three
• 18:10
  coming in hard off of Saw Three. He was the editor for this, and
• 18:14
  he was tasked to cut that down. So he had to edit it to where we
• 18:19
  don't see the faces at all and cut all of the other bullshit.
• 18:22
  So yeah, he worked his magic there.
• 18:26
  I will say because like we get like not even full profiles of
• 18:30
  them in this final version. Big glimpses.
• 18:32
  It felt illegal watching seeing them, yeah, seeing them on the
• 18:37
  behind the scenes stuff. And I was like.
• 18:38
  I know. And Gemma Ward is British.
• 18:41
  I know that was she's the. She's the only one that really
• 18:44
  talks. She's a model.
• 18:45
  Apparently they like he brought her in because like, apparently
• 18:48
  he saw like that was the look that he, like, pictured for that
• 18:52
  character originally. But yeah, yeah, I don't like
• 18:56
  that either. I wish that they wore their
• 18:57
  masks when they were giving their behind the scenes.
• 18:59
  Do you? Hate the masking?
• 19:01
  I do, there are times and places for it, but nothing.
• 19:05
  No, I like the mystery there. OK, that's it for the fun facts.
• 19:09
  So let's do some good, bad, ugly and absurd Jesse.
• 19:12
  OK, but first, since this is your birthday movie, you need to
• 19:16
  discuss why this felt appropriate as this year's
• 19:19
  birthday picked. OK.
• 19:21
  Why is this Travis? So I mean, I can always pull it
• 19:25
  up here anytime, but this is one of my favorite movies and I can
• 19:28
  barely get you to watch this. It's very stressful.
• 19:32
  I know it is very stressful. It even had Talia in it the.
• 19:36
  Entire time. Talia picked up on my stress
• 19:38
  pretty hardcore in like she. Did yeah, she, you know.
• 19:43
  And this is also Talia's nightmare.
• 19:45
  Yeah, it is. Yeah.
• 19:46
  This is like the reason she barks, like you were saying.
• 19:49
  And I, you know, I love this movie so much.
• 19:52
  This is I don't know if I would say it's the last movie to truly
• 19:55
  scare me, but like it's one of the most like I was still like
• 20:00
  it. Changed you?
• 20:01
  Yeah, like I, you know, 2008, I was 16.
• 20:07
  Yeah, I was 16. And, you know, I was getting at
• 20:10
  that age where it was, like, harder for me to be scared by
• 20:12
  movies. And this movie actually scared
• 20:16
  me whenever I saw the trailer. I was afraid to watch this
• 20:18
  alone. I had to make my mom and dad
• 20:19
  watch it with me. Both of them.
• 20:21
  Both of them, yeah. I needed two people.
• 20:23
  I was like Gallia. So yeah, you know, I just, I
• 20:27
  love this movie so much. It had a huge impact on me.
• 20:30
  So that's why it's my birthday movie.
• 20:32
  OK, Yeah, All right. Fair enough.
• 20:35
  Well, I guess I'll jump into the goods that I have for this
• 20:37
  movie. I agree.
• 20:38
  This movie was very it. It stuck with me seeing it in
• 20:44
  theaters. Obviously, my mom's talked about
• 20:46
  how she just wanted the movie to be over.
• 20:48
  Yeah, after a certain point, she was like, can we just end this
• 20:51
  already? Dude, the.
• 20:53
  Thing about this is like, I didn't see this in theaters.
• 20:56
  I don't know why I didn't but like.
• 20:57
  We did. Yeah.
• 21:00
  I pictured seeing it in theaters, though, and like,
• 21:02
  where my movie theater was like it's, you know, there's like
• 21:05
  nothing that's like, it's in the middle of nowhere.
• 21:07
  So like walking out of the movie theaters, I was like imagining
• 21:10
  them being out there in that area waiting for me.
• 21:13
  Like it was just a terrifying thought.
• 21:15
  Yeah, I remember that movie theater when it was still open
• 21:19
  and it's. Yeah, it's chilling.
• 21:22
  I there are some just really good moments.
• 21:25
  I've talked before that like I'm good with a jump scare if it's
• 21:28
  done well and obviously we get a lot of those.
• 21:30
  But that that moment of her drinking the water in the
• 21:34
  kitchen having crashing out is that do we use that here?
• 21:40
  Did she? Eventually I'm going to learn
• 21:42
  when. I don't think she crashed out
• 21:43
  yet. Probably.
• 21:44
  OK. Are you talking about she
• 21:45
  crashed out because she got her post?
• 21:48
  Maybe. She may have crashed out.
• 21:51
  We didn't see the media. Aftermath there I I'm officially
• 21:55
  the age where I don't understand new slang.
• 21:57
  Anyway, she's like trying to calm herself down and she's
• 22:00
  drinking that water and we just see him like stealthily like
• 22:04
  behind her and he's just there for so long and it's so scary.
• 22:09
  Also, I find it really effective.
• 22:12
  You know, they're hiding out in that spare room.
• 22:14
  They've got the gun and you're like, perfect.
• 22:16
  This is exactly how you need to do it.
• 22:17
  Except then in walks Mike AKA Glenn Howard AKA the Golden God
• 22:22
  and he gets out a help and is just shot and it's just so
• 22:28
  quick. And then they have that moment
• 22:30
  of like God that doesn't feel like that was the right person.
• 22:32
  He's like. He wasn't wearing a mask.
• 22:34
  Yeah. And that moment also sticks with
• 22:37
  me really, really hard. And there's just, there are
• 22:40
  several moments like that throughout this movie where it's
• 22:42
  just really, really effective at giving the scares and the things
• 22:47
  that you're going to be afraid of being isolated and alone in a
• 22:51
  house like this because that house is really isolated.
• 22:54
  And I think we both have experiences growing up in those
• 22:59
  kind of isolated home settings. Yeah.
• 23:02
  And it just, it's effective. It's an effective movie.
• 23:06
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's the thing with
• 23:09
  me. Like this movie, it is
• 23:12
  discomfort from the very first second of the movie.
• 23:15
  Like it starts off like you get the discomfort between them as a
• 23:20
  couple because you know something bad just happened
• 23:23
  there. So you're starting off bad right
• 23:25
  out the gate and it just gets worse throughout the movie.
• 23:29
  It just gets worse and worse, man.
• 23:32
  If he hadn't tried to propose at somebody else's wedding, say he
• 23:35
  was waiting to do that at the house, we could have gotten my
• 23:37
  favorite trope of somebody getting murdered before he gets
• 23:40
  super. We could have had that man, this
• 23:45
  guy the holy shit. Like I have like my own thoughts
• 23:49
  of like how he is as a person based off of these few snippets
• 23:53
  of who we see him. As yeah, especially like that
• 23:55
  deleted scene of him, like, getting himself a shot at the
• 23:58
  bar, pumping himself up in the mirror.
• 24:00
  And then he's like, I'm gonna propose her in the parking lot
• 24:03
  super casually at somebody else's wedding.
• 24:05
  So fucking romantic. I get the vibe that this guy is
• 24:10
  kind of like Michael Scott. He is like the like the
• 24:13
  delusional romantic. Yes.
• 24:16
  And I, I like that they don't give us a ton of the background
• 24:19
  and you're still able to piece those moments together.
• 24:23
  My biggest question is how long were they dating?
• 24:26
  It not long enough it feels like.
• 24:27
  No, I don't think it was. I like, but I like that it's
• 24:31
  left ambiguous. But at the same time, like, you
• 24:33
  know what this guy's like there's.
• 24:35
  Even that moment where she goes and tries on the ring when he
• 24:38
  goes out to get her more cigarettes and it's not even the
• 24:40
  right size. I didn't even pick up.
• 24:43
  Yeah, that's amazing. She.
• 24:44
  Puts it on and then she can't cuz when a ring's too tight,
• 24:46
  usually you can manage to get it on, but it's getting it off that
• 24:49
  gets difficult, yeah. Man, this guy, man.
• 24:54
  You don't propose on a whim, which it kind of feels like is
• 24:57
  what he did. And you don't propose at a
• 24:58
  wedding. Yeah, also.
• 25:00
  That that's like a big, big one. Like, dude, yeah, this guy, he,
• 25:04
  he probably sucked. And you don't propose in a
• 25:07
  parking lot when it's cold outside and she wanted the
• 25:10
  girlfriend wanted to dance with. You, she's like, hey, let's hang
• 25:13
  out with friends. Like, no, no, no.
• 25:14
  Let me take you out here into this isolated parking lot in the
• 25:17
  middle of the coldness. And never go to a second
• 25:19
  location, yeah. It's a stranger danger.
• 25:22
  That's OK. OK.
• 25:26
  Yeah. I mean, other than all of this
• 25:28
  shit, like the movie just builds tension throughout really well.
• 25:31
  And I like that it doesn't need a high body count for it to be
• 25:33
  effective. Like, it just kind of plays on
• 25:35
  that for the duration of the movie.
• 25:38
  And then they finally kill them. Yeah.
• 25:39
  You know, like, it's just super effective that way.
• 25:42
  OK, so what's some bad stuff? Listen, I appreciate the stealth
• 25:50
  mode that the strangers can activate, but these are the
• 25:54
  there's no way they're as fast as they are.
• 25:56
  No like that moment, like with touching his neck when he's
• 25:59
  leaning into the car. That's super effective.
• 26:01
  But the fact that she's just gone?
• 26:04
  Just vanishes, no? Which like I've always thought
• 26:07
  she dropped and rolled under the car maybe?
• 26:11
  I wish I could have seen that, but.
• 26:13
  That would have been amazing. Yeah, but I feel like he would
• 26:15
  have noticed somebody rolling on the ground under his feet.
• 26:18
  I mean, she probably would have dove right into the shattered
• 26:21
  glass on the ground and like, you know, like, ow, ow, yeah,
• 26:25
  shit, shit, shit, you know, like, but whatever, yeah.
• 26:29
  Like and that's The thing is like we have 3 strangers, we
• 26:32
  don't have to give them these like super speed powers because
• 26:35
  you've got three of them. Got numbers 3.
• 26:37
  Versus two, yeah, it's a numbers game.
• 26:39
  I'm OK with those odds. Please don't make them super
• 26:42
  fast as well. They're supposed to just, this
• 26:44
  is supposed to be a thing that could just easily happen, and
• 26:48
  I'm calling bullshit on that. It when you put the mask on, you
• 26:51
  get super abilities. That's just kind of how horror
• 26:53
  movies work, it seems. Is that the only bad you have?
• 26:59
  Yeah, that's that's like I said, this movie is simple, but it's
• 27:02
  effective. Yeah, other than that little
• 27:04
  thing for. Me.
• 27:06
  The only thing I could say is I think once we get to the end it
• 27:09
  kind of goes on for a bit. Yeah, we kept telling Talia,
• 27:12
  like, there's only 10 more minutes in this movie, Talia.
• 27:14
  And like 30 minutes later, it was finally over.
• 27:17
  Like, yeah, like it's just, you know, we're getting more of the
• 27:19
  same tension scenes. Like it's just like I'm hiding
• 27:23
  here and they're wondering, you know, like it's we've seen that
• 27:26
  throughout most of this movie already.
• 27:27
  And then when we get to them all tied up in the chair and they're
• 27:30
  just they're standing there for a long time thinking about how
• 27:33
  do we stab these two? And then they just do it and.
• 27:36
  Out of the night. Yeah, and then we get that scene
• 27:40
  of them driving away and like the two little Mormon boys.
• 27:42
  They're Mormons, I think. I thought they were Jehovah's
• 27:45
  Witnesses. That's what I put in my.
• 27:47
  Mormons. Mormon's witnesses.
• 27:50
  Mormon's witness. Yeah, It's like they were having
• 27:54
  their own heretic moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 27:57
  But yeah, it just, it kind of drags just for a bit.
• 27:59
  And this is not even a long movie either.
• 28:02
  But like it, that's how you know it drags because like I'm at the
• 28:05
  end, I'm like, well, let's wrap this up.
• 28:07
  Yeah. OK, ugly.
• 28:10
  So they get to the house and he had set out all of these rose
• 28:14
  petals and everything was meant to be nice.
• 28:18
  He got the Bluebell ice cream, kind of side eyeing that a
• 28:21
  little bit. Did he have that in preparation
• 28:24
  of like if she goes wrong? I feel like it was meant to be
• 28:28
  celebratory. OK, so like, way to spring for
• 28:30
  the vanilla bluebell, James. No, she goes to take the bath
• 28:35
  and that water comes out rusty. Does it?
• 28:40
  Yeah, and it's not that the Rose petals and oil are in the tub.
• 28:44
  It is coming out of the faucet, Rusty.
• 28:46
  You just like stuffed a bunch of it's like I wanted to actually
• 28:51
  like shower rose petals on. You and I thought for a minute
• 28:54
  she was gone, but then she fills the tub and just sits in this
• 28:58
  rust water. I mean, she's having a rough
• 29:01
  night as it is. She needs that moment of
• 29:03
  solitude right here like. She's like, maybe tetanus will
• 29:06
  ease the blow. Maybe I can get out of this by
• 29:09
  dying, you know, like that's like you're, you're in such an
• 29:12
  awkward situation that you're welcoming death.
• 29:14
  Yeah, it's just man, it's crap. I.
• 29:17
  Didn't notice that. Yeah, I had never noticed it
• 29:19
  before this watch and I was like, what the fuck?
• 29:21
  That water is red. What if that was an unrated
• 29:23
  version? Change.
• 29:26
  They're like, listen, listen, we understand the stabbing and
• 29:29
  killing and everything, but the real horror here is the piping
• 29:34
  in this old house. Yeah, it's pretty tragic.
• 29:39
  Gosh, what is ugly? I don't know.
• 29:41
  I guess the fact that he killed his best friend accidentally.
• 29:44
  I felt so bad for him, Yeah. You know, like it's, it's really
• 29:48
  shitty, like, and he went out there, it's like 5:00 AM at this
• 29:52
  point. Yeah, in the.
• 29:53
  Movie. This guy went out of his way to
• 29:55
  get his best friend just to get shot in the face.
• 29:58
  Although it's dimness. Yeah.
• 30:00
  So you may have, you know, eliminated a psychopath.
• 30:02
  Also true. Yeah, all right.
• 30:05
  Absurd. I got to bring it back to the
• 30:07
  ice cream. There's this ice cream that
• 30:09
  stays on the fucking table for the entire goddamn movie.
• 30:12
  That was my first absurd too. But yes, it's before how the
• 30:15
  strangers even start happening. Like James is eating this tub of
• 30:18
  ice cream, feeling sad, and then he's like, I'm going to go get
• 30:21
  you cigarettes and he just leaves that shit out on the
• 30:23
  table. I wanted to see a scene of one
• 30:25
  of the strangers sitting at the table and scooping it onto their
• 30:27
  mask. Like scooping it or like being
• 30:30
  like, well, this is unsanitary and closing it up and putting it
• 30:33
  back in the freezer. That tub of ice cream, every
• 30:35
  time it came and just shot it, I got so angry.
• 30:38
  Yeah. Did it ever melt?
• 30:40
  I I don't know cuz it's implied that James ate enough that we
• 30:45
  can't see it from the. Top he ate that.
• 30:47
  Fast and yeah, and that's The thing is that we saw it was a
• 30:50
  new type of ice cream. I'm so distracted by this ice
• 30:53
  cream. It's.
• 30:55
  It's problematic. And then also I need to see the
• 30:57
  blueprints. I need to see the layout for
• 30:59
  this house because I don't. It's like a friend's house or
• 31:03
  the the friend's apartment. Yes, like from the outside, like
• 31:06
  it's a ranch style. You can tell it's still a
• 31:08
  decently sized ranch style. Maybe it goes back farther, I
• 31:11
  don't know. But there are so many rooms to
• 31:14
  this fucking house and then there's a whole aluminum barn
• 31:18
  Outback. Why do they need a barn?
• 31:20
  They clearly are not cultivating the lands.
• 31:23
  It almost looked like a big tool shed.
• 31:27
  Really like they repurposed the whole barn into a tool shed.
• 31:30
  It's with the radio. Yes, with the radio.
• 31:32
  It's just wild. I I have so many questions about
• 31:36
  this house and about the goddamn ice cream.
• 31:39
  The goddamn ice cream. Yeah, the ice cream is a big one
• 31:43
  for me. Also.
• 31:45
  Just like, just like it's 4:30 and like all that shit's
• 31:49
  happened and they got there and it's really awkward.
• 31:51
  And after she showers, she doesn't get in comfy clothes.
• 31:54
  She's like, I'm gonna throw in like a flannel and undershirt
• 31:57
  and blue jeans. Yeah, the blue jeans kind of
• 31:59
  threw me for a loop too. Like the flannel, I can accept
• 32:01
  that because that is kind of cozy, especially if it's kind of
• 32:04
  chilly. Out I've done this version of
• 32:05
  this outfit before, but with leggings to be around the house.
• 32:08
  We're leggings around this time. I don't remember when that.
• 32:12
  Happened. This was very much like right
• 32:14
  before the rise of the yoga pants.
• 32:17
  OK, yeah. So she didn't have that option.
• 32:19
  She would have been in sweatpants and or.
• 32:21
  Like the Victoria's Secret, like with pink and rhinestones across
• 32:24
  the ass. Yeah, yeah, and it says juicy.
• 32:28
  Can you imagine if she had that in this movie?
• 32:30
  No, like on her ass she. Strikes me.
• 32:32
  She doesn't strike me as a juicy girl.
• 32:34
  She strikes me as a pink girl. Pink.
• 32:36
  Right on the butt, just like throughout the whole movie takes
• 32:39
  you out of it. I wonder if they like proposed
• 32:42
  that to Liv Tyler and she's like, no, it's.
• 32:46
  Not a question, Liv. It's happening.
• 32:50
  It's just like juicy or pink. Which is it gonna be?
• 32:53
  What's What kind of girl is Kristen She's.
• 32:55
  Like I'm gonna wear my own blue jeans.
• 32:58
  Thing, OK. What are you rate of?
• 33:03
  Sorry, I was not prepared for you to be.
• 33:04
  Done with the. Absurd so quickly.
• 33:06
  No, I'm done with my upstairs. I'm gonna give this a 9.75.
• 33:11
  It's a really strong movie. Yeah, I give it a 10.
• 33:13
  This is a 10 for me. So fucking scary. 875 is our
• 33:19
  starting. 879-9875 Yeah. OK, cool.
• 33:23
  And maybe Oven tells us this is based on a true story.
• 33:26
  The night of February 11th, 2005, Kristen and James had a
• 33:30
  really bad day. This.
• 33:32
  Is a very Texas Chainsaw. Like, yes, they've got like a
• 33:35
  narrator and everything. I'm glad that they told us
• 33:37
  explicitly that it's February because we also had like the flu
• 33:40
  of her saying like, oh, it's so cold out here because that's the
• 33:42
  only way that like this all kicking off at 4:00 AM makes any
• 33:47
  sense that it's dark for as long as it is.
• 33:48
  That's true. Yeah, you're right.
• 33:51
  So yeah, we we overhear like a 911 call from Jordan, whoever
• 33:56
  that is. One of the Mormons witnesses.
• 33:59
  OK. And yeah, we're getting shots of
• 34:01
  the aftermath of everything that happened here.
• 34:03
  There's blood on the wall, There's kids seeing all this
• 34:06
  shit. They're getting caught that. 911
• 34:08
  operator does not even carry that.
• 34:10
  A 7 year old is crying about all the blood around.
• 34:12
  She says. Well, is anybody dead?
• 34:14
  Yeah. Well, I mean, they're, they're
• 34:16
  notoriously kind of they, they're, they got to be jaded in
• 34:19
  that, that job role. Yeah, you got to be used to
• 34:23
  that. Still.
• 34:24
  So after all that, we are now switching over to an awkward
• 34:28
  drive home and they're stopped at a red light in the middle.
• 34:31
  There's. Just like tears streaming down
• 34:35
  this space, you know? And then James is like white
• 34:37
  knuckle on the steering wheel, Like this is not a car that I
• 34:40
  want to be a part. Can you imagine?
• 34:41
  Like you're supposed to ride home with them.
• 34:44
  Like they were your ride. Oh my God, that would be a
• 34:47
  fucking nightmare. I would be.
• 34:49
  It's like that, that scene from Breaking Bad, I don't know if
• 34:52
  you've ever seen this, but it's when Jesse is like sitting at
• 34:56
  the dinner table with Walt and Skyler.
• 34:59
  And it's like towards the end of the show where they stop giving
• 35:01
  a fuck about each other and they've like separated.
• 35:03
  And she's like saying all these things about how she fucked Ted
• 35:06
  and just like all this stuff. And he's just like sitting there
• 35:09
  drinking the water, just like side eyeing both of them.
• 35:12
  It's it's awkward, it's bad. But yeah.
• 35:16
  So they arrive at the house. I like this.
• 35:19
  We see Mike, not Mike. James and Mike had set up like
• 35:24
  flower petals. Yeah, and and James, he like
• 35:27
  stops at the mailbox and there's like a shit ton of mail in the
• 35:30
  mailbox, which I relate to that hard.
• 35:33
  Yeah, this strikes me as like a family vacation home like.
• 35:36
  That's what I think. I don't think why.
• 35:37
  Are they putting that there as like a mailing address for
• 35:40
  anything? Unless this is just all junk
• 35:42
  mail, this is. Like the Airbnb where like
• 35:44
  they're like, and get the mail for us.
• 35:46
  Yeah, you got to do that. So yeah, they go in there, rose
• 35:49
  petals all over the place. It's.
• 35:51
  Super and candles not lit thank God.
• 35:54
  Yeah, that would have been bad. So she goes and she takes her
• 35:58
  rust water bath and James calls Mike to come pick him up.
• 36:03
  He's like, can you pick me up in the morning?
• 36:04
  It is the morning, which is why Mike arrives so soon.
• 36:09
  They he we have like a flash to the wedding scene.
• 36:13
  He interrupts her laughing with their friends.
• 36:16
  It's implied that they're in the bridal party and she's like,
• 36:21
  let's dance. And he's like no, come with me
• 36:24
  to the isolated party. Come, come.
• 36:28
  This guy chose, like, the worst time too, because she's having a
• 36:30
  good time with her friends. He's like, hey, hey, come here.
• 36:32
  No, no, no, let's not do this shit.
• 36:34
  We're well, let's stop having fun.
• 36:35
  Come with me to the parking lot. Yeah.
• 36:38
  I'm going to propose to you at somebody else's wedding, but at
• 36:41
  least some people do that. They're like, and I'm not
• 36:44
  justifying this, but they're doing it inside like a
• 36:48
  beautifully decorated event hall.
• 36:52
  They're around people they care about.
• 36:54
  If you're going to do it, there's a way to do it.
• 36:56
  Usually you're doing it. To piggyback off of somebody
• 36:59
  else's expense, James did none of that and Kristen clocks it.
• 37:08
  And it feels like maybe this is a common thing in their
• 37:14
  relationship where he was like, I understand the point of a good
• 37:17
  gesture, I just don't know how to meet the good gesture.
• 37:20
  Like I feel like these rose petals and candles are Mike's
• 37:22
  suggestion. Yeah, I don't know, man.
• 37:25
  I'd see, I think. Because they were supposed to do
• 37:27
  a road trip after this. Like do it after the road trip
• 37:31
  or? Do it on the road.
• 37:32
  Or on the road trip. Yeah, you can.
• 37:34
  Have like a beautiful like romantic moment, like maybe
• 37:36
  you're doing like a hike or something.
• 37:38
  Beautiful views. It's just the two of.
• 37:40
  You look, I think it could be sweet.
• 37:41
  It could have been good. Realistically, the answer is
• 37:44
  going to be the same regardless, from what I gather here.
• 37:47
  So I guess it's best to just get that shit out of the way because
• 37:50
  then at least they're just driving through the town
• 37:52
  awkwardly instead of like, through the country awkwardly.
• 37:54
  Yeah. So yeah, he does that pops a
• 37:58
  question. We don't get an answer, but we
• 38:00
  can kind of gather what. Was this our DVD or is the movie
• 38:05
  actually having these slow MO moments?
• 38:07
  Cuz it felt like the frame rate slowed down a little bit.
• 38:10
  OK. Yeah, you can catch that in a
• 38:11
  lot of movies sometimes, and I actually saw them reuse shots a
• 38:15
  few times with that same swell now.
• 38:16
  But yeah, it happens occasionally.
• 38:19
  After her bath she puts the dress back on because she says
• 38:22
  that she feels really pretty in it.
• 38:25
  He is eating the ice cream straight from the tub and we
• 38:28
  hear the clock chiming 4 times so we know it's 4:00 AM and she
• 38:33
  said that everything looks really beautiful and she like is
• 38:37
  acknowledging that for he put into it.
• 38:38
  He goes please keep the ring. I can't keep it.
• 38:41
  I'm not going to return it. Why would she keep the ring
• 38:44
  right? Like that's like a horrible
• 38:46
  reminder for her. He's like, it's like ready
• 38:49
  revenge. You figure out to.
• 38:51
  Do yeah, it's your problem now, yeah, yeah, so.
• 38:55
  Then he puts on a sad record. That was gonna be his Let's get
• 39:02
  down in Dirty Music right here, Yeah.
• 39:04
  I wanna know if if he had to like I would have liked to see
• 39:07
  him like swap out the basket of records like this is the happy
• 39:10
  times. Nope, we go put the sad records
• 39:12
  up here. I like to imagine that's why he
• 39:15
  wanted to fuck too. Not R&B or anything like that.
• 39:18
  He wanted to fuck to some like. Old school.
• 39:20
  Bullshit. Yeah, so.
• 39:22
  And they do to his credits start to pull around a little bit
• 39:28
  before they're interrupted by a knock at the door.
• 39:31
  Or as I put in my notes they get knock blocked.
• 39:33
  Oh, knock blocked, I was. So proud of that.
• 39:37
  I'm so proud of you. Yeah.
• 39:39
  Yeah. They get knocked hard here.
• 39:40
  They answer the door. It's this woman.
• 39:43
  They can't turn the light on, so they can't see who it is.
• 39:46
  Listen, if this is you though, it would just be because you're
• 39:48
  hitting the wrong switch because you do that true every time
• 39:50
  that's. True.
• 39:51
  Don't put two switches there. Just give me one switch for my
• 39:54
  wife. That's all I need.
• 39:56
  Or like if it was our side side door because it's also the
• 40:00
  farthest switch for the backyard one and the closer one to the
• 40:04
  door is for the kitchen. So like, I would have loved to
• 40:07
  see that happening in like the kitchen last.
• 40:09
  Right. That would have been amazing.
• 40:13
  But no. Yeah, the woman there is just
• 40:16
  like, hey, it's Tamara here. And they tell her that they got
• 40:20
  the wrong place. And she wanders off and
• 40:24
  Christian's yeah, he. Twists the light bulb.
• 40:27
  He's like, oh, OK, so it was working.
• 40:29
  It was just untwisted. You should be immediately
• 40:32
  frightened. Yeah, that's a bad sign.
• 40:34
  Like that should. That was working before it was
• 40:37
  on when they got there. So yeah, like, you know, shit's
• 40:39
  fucked up. Yes, and Christian's like
• 40:44
  there's nobody out here like I there's no vehicle.
• 40:47
  How did she get here? Should you go check on her?
• 40:49
  And he's like, Nah, they go back in, the ice cream still out.
• 40:55
  We're just gonna clock every time that ice cream is on the
• 40:58
  screen. She's out of cigarettes.
• 41:00
  And he's like, I'll go get you more.
• 41:02
  And she's like, no, it's fine, I need to go to bed anyway.
• 41:05
  And he's like, you won't you need more cigarettes?
• 41:08
  She's going to continue smoking while he's gone.
• 41:10
  So she had more cigarettes. She.
• 41:12
  Did what the fuck? Where did she find those?
• 41:14
  I don't even remember. Maybe she just had like extras
• 41:17
  in her bag or something. This was a calculated move to
• 41:20
  get him out of the house. She, yeah, she was really just
• 41:23
  trying to, like, find an excuse to go to bed instead of sitting
• 41:25
  there being miserable and feeling like, yeah, she did
• 41:29
  something wrong by just not being ready to get married.
• 41:31
  SH man, there's some layers here.
• 41:33
  So anyways, yeah, he leaves. He starts a fire for her though
• 41:36
  before he goes and then head it's out.
• 41:39
  So yeah, we see her go change into her jeans and whatnot and
• 41:44
  she's getting a glass of water smoking a.
• 41:45
  Cigarette she she has not changed yet first she tries on
• 41:49
  the ring. It's too small.
• 41:51
  She wanders around the house. There's another knock.
• 41:53
  She doesn't open the door then. So she's just like, hey, you
• 41:56
  were already by here, Like you've already been here.
• 41:59
  And then the fire starts smoking way too much and the smoke alarm
• 42:05
  goes off. Freaked out all of our pets.
• 42:07
  Oh yeah. And she manages to knock it
• 42:10
  down, which turns it off. It's laying on the floor.
• 42:13
  She is kind of freaked out because there's more knocks
• 42:16
  happening at the front door. And she tries to call James.
• 42:18
  Her cell phone is dead. So she plugs it into charge and
• 42:21
  she uses the landline. She's changing while she's on
• 42:23
  the landline asking James to come back.
• 42:25
  That's. Right and.
• 42:26
  Stay in it, or at least stay on the line with her because she's
• 42:29
  freaked out. That's right.
• 42:31
  Yeah. So she.
• 42:35
  They the phone gets disconnected.
• 42:36
  Yeah, I think it's implied that they cut the phone line or James
• 42:40
  just had no desire to be on the fight.
• 42:42
  It's one or the other. I thought that he lost service
• 42:44
  because they're out in the country.
• 42:46
  I think it's I think it's the landline because they didn't end
• 42:48
  up using that to call anybody later and we don't see the
• 42:51
  landline getting destroyed. OK, you're.
• 42:53
  Probably right, yeah. So she goes in the kitchen.
• 42:56
  She smokes a cigarette. Yeah.
• 43:00
  It gets a glass of water and all this happening.
• 43:03
  I wrote in all caps. Man appears.
• 43:07
  And that is the freakiest fucking thing.
• 43:09
  That's the thing that scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
• 43:11
  It's so frightening because it's one of those, it's the opposite
• 43:15
  of a jump scare because you just kind of have to be paying
• 43:18
  attention to the whole scene and he just this like just suddenly
• 43:22
  there. It's just like, I love that.
• 43:23
  I love background show like that.
• 43:25
  Like yes, it's out of focus. You're not like you're supposed
• 43:27
  to see it, but like, you know, like it's just really well done.
• 43:31
  He leaves, like our range of you anyway, and then we hear a door
• 43:36
  open and close. That freaks her out, so she
• 43:38
  grabs a knife. The ice cream is still out on
• 43:41
  the kitchen table and the smoke alarm is no longer on the floor.
• 43:46
  It has been moved to a chair, yes.
• 43:49
  And her phone is gone. And this is where she starts
• 43:52
  getting really freaked out, especially because, oh, all
• 43:55
  three of them just banging on different parts of the house and
• 43:59
  we got wind chimes Outback. Yep, she goes to like check the
• 44:03
  window and then she like opens it up with a knife and boom the
• 44:06
  bag face man. And like, that screen there sits
• 44:11
  with me in my head. But hearing the reverb that was
• 44:14
  happening on the sound stage, yeah, that I was like, man, it
• 44:19
  really is a problem with how much Liv Tyler screaming.
• 44:21
  She didn't know how powerful her scream was.
• 44:24
  Yeah, yeah. She was like, it was just all
• 44:26
  bottled up on me. And all of a sudden this right
• 44:30
  here, this moment has, this is how I always hear the
• 44:34
  Quicksilver Girl. Any time I hear that, I just
• 44:36
  hear this part like on repeat over and over again.
• 44:39
  It's like burned into my memory. Well, she goes and hides and she
• 44:44
  hears the door open and she hears footsteps approach.
• 44:48
  And thankfully she doesn't have a gun because it's James.
• 44:53
  Oh, we missed. We missed a part too.
• 44:55
  Before she goes and hides, the front door pops open and it is.
• 45:00
  Pinup, pinup. Yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 45:03
  So yeah. Yeah, then she goes and hides in
• 45:04
  the bedroom and this is when James gets back.
• 45:06
  She has like beaten a lamp out of fright and frustration and
• 45:12
  cut her hand and he's like, what the what the fuck happened?
• 45:15
  And she's like, no, no, listen, we're just going to barricade
• 45:18
  this room. And he was like, no, there's
• 45:21
  nobody out there. Crazy, crazy.
• 45:24
  They look around and when they look out the window, like they
• 45:29
  look through the whole house, first of all, they're just
• 45:31
  trying to see any trace of anybody.
• 45:32
  And they're also looking for her phone, can't find it anywhere.
• 45:35
  They peek out the window and doll faces standing out in the
• 45:40
  road. We don't see a mask on her yet.
• 45:43
  Her face is just shadowed. And he's like, oh shit, well, I
• 45:47
  left my phone in the car so I'm going to go get it.
• 45:49
  And she's like, please don't. He's like, listen, it's fine.
• 45:52
  You're overreacting. I am definitely taking you not
• 45:57
  seriously as a human. I see you're very afraid.
• 46:00
  And there's still that shady girl out there who loosens light
• 46:03
  bulbs and is just in the middle of nowhere on foot.
• 46:07
  It's fine. I'm going to go out to the car.
• 46:09
  I, I wish that he would have done something like maybe if you
• 46:12
  said yes, I would have believed you, you know, like.
• 46:14
  You know who I bet James is friends with?
• 46:16
  Who? Mika.
• 46:18
  Man, they yeah, like Mika's in the friend group for sure.
• 46:21
  Him, Mike and Mika. Yeah, like Mike is the Angel on
• 46:25
  James's shoulder. And Mika?
• 46:26
  'S. The devil on his shoulder.
• 46:28
  Like Mike's. Like we really need to cut out
• 46:30
  Mika. Like he's getting weird.
• 46:31
  He's being really fucking rude to his girlfriend Katie.
• 46:34
  That's toxic. And Mika's like, dude, you
• 46:36
  should have included a Ouija board.
• 46:38
  Like when like it would have been, she would have said yes.
• 46:41
  Like also, by the way, when this has all been going down, we've
• 46:44
  seen that the phone, Kristen's phone, is in the fireplace.
• 46:48
  They just haven't noticed it yet.
• 46:49
  Yeah, so he goes out to the car and he goes, shit, all of the
• 46:54
  windows are smashed in. And he still is like, no,
• 46:57
  everything's fine. The car has been hot wired so
• 47:00
  it's just running and he like peeks and he goes shit.
• 47:04
  All of the cigarette packages are like, dumped out and
• 47:07
  grumpled on the floor. Fucking Dick he just did that.
• 47:11
  Such a rude move. These guys are assholes.
• 47:14
  Like he is so calm and he is more frustrated, like man, kids
• 47:20
  these days. And it's like, James, you are in
• 47:24
  danger, my dude. I think he was like, because he
• 47:27
  told her before you take the car, I think this is a rental
• 47:30
  and he's like, it's not gonna be on me, it's gonna be on her.
• 47:33
  Yeah, he didn't get the insurance.
• 47:35
  Maybe he did it. Maybe he did it before he went
• 47:38
  back in. Yeah, he was like.
• 47:40
  Like, Mike's gonna pick me up, I'm gonna get out of here, she's
• 47:42
  gonna walk out. Regret saying no big time.
• 47:44
  Yeah, the battery's gonna be drained from.
• 47:46
  Running. Yeah, yeah.
• 47:49
  And. She's gonna see empty cigarette
• 47:51
  packages. Crumbled up fucking cigarettes.
• 47:53
  Enjoy. Your nicotine headache.
• 47:57
  So yeah, tire's flat too. Yeah, the hand brushes on the
• 48:00
  back of his neck like you talked about earlier.
• 48:02
  Startles him. He's still like, must be nobody.
• 48:06
  So he goes back in and sees his phone on the counter without the
• 48:11
  battery and he goes, we need to, we need to leave.
• 48:14
  Kristen. Kristen, you don't understand.
• 48:17
  I'm sure you're not paying enough attention.
• 48:19
  Right now, because you're all. Hysterical over something, I
• 48:21
  don't know what, but there are people here trying to hurt us.
• 48:25
  You need to be more aware of of your surroundings.
• 48:27
  Kristen, why didn't you say anything?
• 48:29
  Kristen, you should have told me that that girl was backed.
• 48:36
  So they they see the girl now wearing the mask.
• 48:40
  Yeah, I can't. This is a doll face, right?
• 48:44
  Yeah doll face is the blonde one pinup is the black haired one
• 48:48
  yeah he's like okay we just we are just gonna go to the car
• 48:53
  don't worry it's hotwired. She's like when did she learn
• 48:55
  how to do that? He goes there's a lot of things
• 48:57
  you don't know about me Kristen. We've been dating him on and
• 49:01
  they get into the car and a truck appears.
• 49:05
  Truck, truck, smash smash. It's bad and they have to run
• 49:10
  back in. And this is what I like is that
• 49:12
  they're taking the reasonable steps.
• 49:14
  They're doing all of the right things, but it's just that the
• 49:17
  Strangers have also seen every horror movie, so they're ready
• 49:20
  to fuck with them. I like that they're fucking with
• 49:22
  them. Yeah like it's the pin up in the
• 49:24
  truck ramming it. But then they also have bag head
• 49:27
  in front of them with an axe, Yes.
• 49:29
  And like, I can't believe they got out of the car and still ran
• 49:32
  into the house. And like the fact that you know
• 49:34
  that you made it there safely, you know that they're fucking
• 49:36
  with you at this point. Yes, like they they haven't,
• 49:40
  Yeah, they haven't killed you yet.
• 49:41
  But the fact that they're doing everything they can to cut you
• 49:44
  off from the outside world shows that they intend to.
• 49:46
  But they're playing with their meal. 1st it's yeah, that's it
• 49:49
  just makes it that much more scary.
• 49:51
  Yeah, so he's trying to find his dad's gun.
• 49:53
  He said he used to hide it. Apparently hiding it was just
• 49:55
  putting it on the top of the bookshelf.
• 49:57
  You know, but that was actually what my parents said to.
• 50:00
  And no, it did not work. I didn't play with guns, but I
• 50:03
  played with knives. It's not good.
• 50:06
  Then he has to go find the ammo. It's in the closet in the
• 50:10
  bedroom where they have written hello all over the window.
• 50:14
  And then they start throwing what I'm sure is just clumps of
• 50:17
  salt. At the window.
• 50:18
  But I like to imagine it's poop, yeah.
• 50:21
  I wouldn't put it past these people here.
• 50:23
  Yeah. Also, we get further
• 50:24
  confirmation that James is not really a cool guy because he's
• 50:28
  like, I don't know how to fuck the symbol of this thing.
• 50:29
  She's like, I thought you said you must, like, would go hunting
• 50:32
  with your dad. He's like, yeah, I said that
• 50:35
  just like, this guy fucking sucks.
• 50:36
  Yeah. No wonder she said no.
• 50:38
  I am Team Kristen, yeah. She did herself a favor by
• 50:43
  getting out of this relationship.
• 50:45
  Can. You imagine dying this night and
• 50:47
  you just got engaged to this piece of shit.
• 50:49
  Yeah. And then you find out all this
• 50:51
  stuff after you said yes. Like it took the sting out a
• 50:55
  little bit, saying no already here.
• 50:57
  At least she knows that she didn't hitch her wagon to this
• 51:00
  guy. Well, anyways, they get the ammo
• 51:03
  from the shoebox they loaded up. They're just like, cute bucks
• 51:06
  shoot box. Yeah, that's what that's
• 51:08
  probably written on there. Yeah.
• 51:09
  And they just kind of camp it out and they're just holding the
• 51:12
  gun at the doorway. Smart.
• 51:13
  This is actually really smart. I'm glad that they actually did
• 51:16
  like something like, you are like, this is not what people in
• 51:19
  a horror movie would normally do.
• 51:20
  This is the smart thing. But he panics because he's
• 51:23
  realizing he's never actually shot the shotgun.
• 51:25
  He's like, all right, we're gonna try and run out again.
• 51:27
  And she's like, wait, what? No, don't leave.
• 51:29
  You have the guy in it. Like she's just following him.
• 51:32
  And that's when the axe goes through the front door.
• 51:34
  And he does shoot the front door, which they've barricaded
• 51:37
  with some furniture. They do shoot a bigger hole
• 51:41
  through their front door, don't hit the person that's on the
• 51:44
  other side of it. So really all they've done is
• 51:46
  give them a wider, a bigger hole entry access, yes.
• 51:52
  I can't believe this is a like, deter them.
• 51:54
  Like if these guys have a shotgun in there, I'm not going
• 51:57
  in there. Well, are you planning to like
• 52:01
  home? Invade somebody.
• 52:02
  No at all. No.
• 52:03
  But if I'm doing that, if I'm doing a home invasion.
• 52:05
  I like the tone you used and you said no.
• 52:08
  You said it like a question. Moving on.
• 52:11
  So they they make it back into the bedroom now and this is
• 52:14
  where they're camping out in the closet.
• 52:15
  And this is where we see the Golden God.
• 52:18
  Well, we hear one of the strangers has gotten inside and
• 52:20
  is playing music. That's true.
• 52:22
  Yeah, once. Once the Merle Haggard.
• 52:24
  Yes, I love the the the use of music in this movie is really
• 52:27
  good. Yes, it really does add to it
• 52:29
  all. So Mike pulls up, calls James.
• 52:32
  This this almost looks like Dennis's.
• 52:34
  Like when? But it's it's a Jeep.
• 52:36
  It's not. AI know I wish it was the same
• 52:39
  card. Can you imagine if there was
• 52:40
  continuity? Here this is an AU.
• 52:45
  So yeah, he like rides in. He was in No.
• 52:49
  This is that episode where Dennis decides not to be a Land
• 52:51
  Rover guy anymore, you know, and he's just kind of a dork and
• 52:55
  gets like the garage beers with the dorky guys at their house.
• 53:00
  Is that an episode? Yes, cuz he's they you.
• 53:02
  They try to drive the Land Rover into the lake to get.
• 53:05
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's trying to sell.
• 53:07
  Yeah, he's like we've gotten 2 weird guys.
• 53:09
  Yeah, yeah. OK, so the golden God arise and
• 53:13
  calls James like, hey man, I'm here, you know, serving you a
• 53:17
  hand and fucking foot like always.
• 53:19
  And then as he's in the middle of the phone call, I guess a
• 53:21
  brick or something like goes through the windshield and it
• 53:25
  freaks him the fuck out. He gets out, he's like, what the
• 53:28
  fuck just happened? I would be in the same place.
• 53:30
  I don't know how I would react, but he seems less concerned as
• 53:34
  time goes on. I think he's still drunk because
• 53:36
  when? Because it's implied he was at
• 53:38
  the wedding also. Yeah.
• 53:40
  And when James had called him, he said, I'm sure you're asleep.
• 53:43
  And when you get this, you're going to be really hungover and
• 53:45
  annoyed at me. OK.
• 53:47
  Yeah. So I think he's probably still
• 53:48
  drunk. So he's, like, aware that this
• 53:50
  is a problem, but he's still got that, like, kind of drunk in
• 53:55
  bravado. Like he's like this.
• 53:57
  I'm sober enough to know this is wrong, but drunk enough to not
• 54:00
  clock how wrong. He's in that like he's in the
• 54:03
  zone right here. So he goes inside and Oh yeah,
• 54:07
  the doors busted open, furniture's rearranged, the fire
• 54:11
  is smoking smokily. Some creepy music.
• 54:13
  Creepy music is playing. What's going on?
• 54:17
  I don't know. And instead of like James,
• 54:22
  Kristen. Yeah, why didn't he not do that?
• 54:25
  He just like, tiptoed through the hell.
• 54:27
  Boom, Yeah. Yeah, you know what?
• 54:30
  I never even thought of that. Why did I would totally be doing
• 54:33
  that, calling out through the house like, hey James.
• 54:35
  Yeah, either that or I'm gonna be so silent I'm not gonna say
• 54:38
  anything at all because this is either an old crime scene or an
• 54:42
  active crime scene. I also love that shot of him
• 54:46
  walking down the hallway and you see like the bag head guy in the
• 54:50
  background just creeping up on him.
• 54:51
  And I like how bag head guy was like, wait, I know these people
• 54:54
  have a gun, let's see how this plays.
• 54:56
  Out. He's like, either he doesn't
• 54:58
  make it all the way down the hallway and I axe him, or I'm
• 55:00
  about to see something awesome. Either way, this guy's going
• 55:03
  down and yeah, that's what happens.
• 55:06
  Is that the second he's in the doorway, which good on James for
• 55:10
  this reflex, but then he goes, he was wearing a mask.
• 55:13
  He wasn't wearing a mask. He's also wearing a suit.
• 55:17
  Oh God. He doesn't say the suit part,
• 55:18
  but you know it's implied. They they sell this really well,
• 55:21
  like the immediate like regret and grief that they get as soon
• 55:26
  as they see that it's Mike is like really well done.
• 55:29
  Yeah. And it's like, and you can tell
• 55:30
  because that's James's best friend.
• 55:32
  And you can tell, like, I know we've been giving their, them
• 55:35
  and especially James a letter shape, but you can tell they've
• 55:37
  been together at least long enough that Kristen is fairly
• 55:39
  close to Mike, too. Yeah.
• 55:41
  Yeah. She's also very, very upset
• 55:43
  about what has just happened. So he's like, all right, well, I
• 55:48
  guess we're going to go try and get the radio in the barn to
• 55:51
  call for help. He's like you hide, I run.
• 55:55
  I can't believe that. Like, I mean, obviously it was
• 55:57
  an effective strategy because like it worked right there, but
• 56:00
  like, what are they going to do? Like axe to the wall and come
• 56:03
  get you, you know, like just stays.
• 56:05
  Yeah, like you. We understand now that shotgun
• 56:10
  through the doorway works. Yes, exactly.
• 56:13
  Calm yourself down and go back to your hidey hole.
• 56:16
  But. This, this is where it kind of
• 56:18
  gets to like dumb horror movie things.
• 56:20
  So he's like, let's split up. You stay here.
• 56:23
  I'm gonna go to the barn. He specifically tells her to
• 56:25
  hide, and for her hiding is crouching down on the back
• 56:28
  porch. Outside.
• 56:30
  Outside. Yeah, it's so stupid.
• 56:32
  This is, it gets a little dumb here.
• 56:34
  So he like he goes running and he is immediately caught.
• 56:37
  Yes, like he doesn't even make it halfway across the yard.
• 56:40
  Yeah, the gun's completely like out of the equation too.
• 56:42
  It doesn't even remember how. Yeah, there is.
• 56:45
  Like, I do think it discharges at one point because Kristen
• 56:48
  hears it and she tries to go out for James, can't see or hear
• 56:52
  him, and she's just kind of hunkering down on the porch for
• 56:55
  a minute and then she's like, oh, I guess I gotta go for it.
• 56:57
  Well, yeah, the back head man, we keep changing the way we
• 57:02
  refer to him, but back head man, he walks into the room and he's
• 57:05
  like approaching the outside patio.
• 57:08
  So she's like, fuck it, I'm booking it.
• 57:09
  Yeah, she trips along the way. She does.
• 57:12
  We see her crawl into the barn with the pin up girl just
• 57:16
  following her the entire time fucking with her.
• 57:18
  Yes, and she's kind of like scooting through the barn,
• 57:23
  trying to be quiet. This is a big barn.
• 57:25
  It's. Huge.
• 57:25
  It is so big and like there's there's aisles of equipment.
• 57:30
  Yeah. And then?
• 57:31
  What do they need all of this equipment for?
• 57:33
  They have not cultivated the land.
• 57:35
  You can see the axe is missing though, so this is where they
• 57:37
  got the axe that they're using, which is kind of a nice touch.
• 57:40
  Which, I mean, yeah, it's kind of a nice touch, but what was
• 57:43
  the axe? It's the only thing that had an
• 57:44
  outline around it because none of the other tools had outlined.
• 57:48
  Maybe they outlined, I don't know, like they're.
• 57:50
  Like we want to make sure the thing.
• 57:51
  Yeah. Like if they make it to the
• 57:52
  barn, like no, Yeah. Also, this is just a sensible
• 57:55
  way to store your tools and that way you know everything goes
• 57:58
  back in the correct spot. That's actually true.
• 58:00
  So she makes it to the radio. She successfully kind of call us
• 58:05
  the police, I guess. She's just trying to see if she
• 58:09
  can get anybody through on the radio, and when she does finally
• 58:12
  get somebody, we get pinups Smash.
• 58:16
  So she crawls back to the house. I don't know why she thinks
• 58:19
  she's actually getting away from them.
• 58:21
  I know. I mean, they're clearly letting
• 58:23
  you go. Yes, she sees all three of them
• 58:26
  in the yard and the cars are on fire, so she's like well, and
• 58:30
  then the three-year God again and she's like, well, she gets
• 58:33
  back inside. The strangers have lit all of
• 58:36
  the like mood lighting candles and they haven't put up the ice
• 58:41
  cream. The state of the ice cream gotta
• 58:44
  be melted. It's gotta be.
• 58:46
  Like liquid? At this.
• 58:47
  Point and we were arguing about this earlier this week this is
• 58:50
  not a case where you can just refreeze that ice cream and it's
• 58:52
  gonna taste the same it will not taste the same it will never be
• 58:55
  quality ice cream again it. Will never be the same.
• 58:57
  It won't. So yeah, we see here.
• 58:59
  Just kinda go in there. The back head man enters the
• 59:04
  room and doesn't notice her so she like slowly makes it into
• 59:08
  the pantry. I did like that moment of like,
• 59:10
  we see him enter the room and she's quietly in the background.
• 59:13
  Yeah, it was nice to have that little.
• 59:15
  Bit of. Reversal it.
• 59:16
  Is kind of cool. Yeah.
• 59:17
  So she, like, backs away and we just kind of see him wander
• 59:20
  around. He like just sits in the chair,
• 59:22
  catches his breath. The lights go out, she hides in
• 59:25
  the pantry, which again, I saw how tiny this little pantry door
• 59:29
  was. And I was like, oh, finally
• 59:32
  these people are relatable to the realistic goes into the
• 59:34
  pantry, and it's so deep. Like a walk in closet like.
• 59:38
  Fuck yeah. Upper middle class.
• 59:41
  That's this home. So yeah, he gets up and walks
• 59:46
  out and she thinks that she's all good.
• 59:48
  And then Boo. Yeah, we get the doll face.
• 59:51
  Yeah, and she's just fucking with the slats on the door and
• 59:54
  and. Then she just walks away.
• 59:55
  Yeah. And then Chris is like, all
• 59:57
  right, I guess I'll leave now. She's like, oh, clearly they're
• 59:59
  done. This is it.
• 1:00:01
  Yeah, this is I'm. I'm good now.
• 1:00:03
  So she tries to rent the bedroom, the lights come back on
• 1:00:06
  and she's like oh shit. She runs out into the hall and
• 1:00:09
  bag head man, just like clothes, lines her into the wall and
• 1:00:12
  knocks her out. Yep, and then we also see they
• 1:00:15
  toss James into the house too. He's all tied up, still alive.
• 1:00:19
  They kept him tied up outside where it was cold.
• 1:00:23
  And that grass was probably like that frosted dew because it's
• 1:00:26
  February. Yeah.
• 1:00:27
  Yeah. That man, he his joints are
• 1:00:30
  aching. I I wanted them to keep him
• 1:00:33
  insight of the ice cream at all times.
• 1:00:35
  That way it's like. You did this.
• 1:00:36
  Yeah, extra torture. Which?
• 1:00:38
  Is why we're killing you just because you're ruining this
• 1:00:40
  gallon of ice cream. So we see them now.
• 1:00:44
  It's daytime, They're tied to chairs in the living room.
• 1:00:47
  Who dressed? Who dressed Kristen?
• 1:00:51
  Did they redress? Her.
• 1:00:52
  Yeah, she's back in the bridesmaids dress.
• 1:00:53
  Did they? Yes.
• 1:00:54
  Wow, I didn't catch that. Yeah, and they put the
• 1:00:57
  engagement ring on her finger. How do they fit?
• 1:01:00
  They've like forced that on. Her.
• 1:01:01
  Yeah, that's the thing. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:01:02
  Like, and I'll say this as somebody who has tried to wear
• 1:01:05
  rings that are too small for her before.
• 1:01:07
  Usually if you're like, this is a little too tight, and then you
• 1:01:09
  get it over the middle knuckle, and then it'll be on and you're
• 1:01:12
  like, oh, this is great because for some people, the base of
• 1:01:15
  your finger's a little bit thinner than that middle knuckle
• 1:01:17
  part. Yeah.
• 1:01:18
  And then it's the getting it off that you don't have enough
• 1:01:20
  leverage to work with. And that's when you have to,
• 1:01:22
  like, grease it and butter it off.
• 1:01:24
  Yeah. Yeah, OK, that makes sense.
• 1:01:26
  Yeah, well, yeah, OK, you're right.
• 1:01:27
  And yeah, he's in his like a wedding suit too.
• 1:01:30
  I don't think he ever changed out of it.
• 1:01:32
  You're right, I don't think he did.
• 1:01:33
  You're right. Anyways, they're all tied up.
• 1:01:37
  They're just like asking them why they did it.
• 1:01:39
  Because you're home. And I like how Baghead was
• 1:01:42
  really annoyed that she answered that.
• 1:01:43
  She's like, we don't give this any reason.
• 1:01:46
  Yeah, we talked, Jella. We have talked about this.
• 1:01:50
  We agreed not to talk. That was what we talked about.
• 1:01:55
  It's like, it kind of feels like the Season 3 opener of Buffy
• 1:01:58
  Travis is officially on Season 3 now.
• 1:02:00
  Yeah. Where Willow is like trying out
• 1:02:02
  Slayer puns. And they're like, how do you
• 1:02:05
  like this big boy? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:08
  Oh my God. Can you imagine him saying that
• 1:02:10
  to them here? And they have like their moment.
• 1:02:16
  They they share, they exchange. I love you and she's.
• 1:02:20
  Like I no, but I want you to die.
• 1:02:24
  Easy. Yeah.
• 1:02:25
  I always, you know, give them something like make them die
• 1:02:27
  somewhere happy and they get stabbed in the tummy together.
• 1:02:32
  What if, like, they let them say their I love yous and they kiss,
• 1:02:36
  and then one of them comes up and just pulls the ring off your
• 1:02:39
  person's finger, throws that into the fire And ice cream,
• 1:02:44
  Yeah. And ice cream, Yeah.
• 1:02:46
  Yeah. So they they do a lot of
• 1:02:48
  stabbing and I guess at some point they untie them and dump
• 1:02:51
  them out of their chairs. Yeah, I guess.
• 1:02:53
  Yeah. I mean, it cuts away and we see
• 1:02:55
  them continue to be or we hear them continue being stabbed.
• 1:02:58
  We hear Mike's phone ringing later on and Kristen.
• 1:03:01
  I think this is unrated. Somehow, yeah, I think it is too
• 1:03:05
  this. Is not part of the theatrical.
• 1:03:07
  She is somehow still alive, so she's trying to crawl to it.
• 1:03:11
  And this is where we hear footsteps in the man's back.
• 1:03:14
  And like, her acting here is so effective because it's just
• 1:03:17
  like, you see that instant, like, oh, Rob, please don't
• 1:03:19
  hurt. Me anymore and like her.
• 1:03:20
  Body posture and her like little desperate moans are just so
• 1:03:24
  perfect. She yeah, she did a good job
• 1:03:26
  with it. And he?
• 1:03:27
  Just takes the phone. Yeah, that's all he did.
• 1:03:28
  He just like, walks over her and like, takes the phone.
• 1:03:31
  You can't have it. Yep, you're bleeding out.
• 1:03:33
  Yeah. And then we see the the
• 1:03:36
  Jehovah's Mormons, Yeah, walking their bikes down the road.
• 1:03:42
  They're tired of riding, man, you know?
• 1:03:44
  The truck pulls up and Dollface gets out and asks for your
• 1:03:49
  pamphlets. This is like what you don't do
• 1:03:52
  if you want to get away with a murder, you don't give your face
• 1:03:56
  to potential witnesses that will like say, hey, I saw a truck
• 1:04:00
  drive by and these people stop by and like, I this is what they
• 1:04:04
  look like. And I don't know if like we're
• 1:04:06
  meant to see that maybe doll faces like newer to their little
• 1:04:10
  family because we hear pan up say next time will be easier.
• 1:04:14
  Oh, I thought so. I wonder if she's like having a
• 1:04:16
  crisis of faith or if she's just really deranged and wants to
• 1:04:19
  like read the pamphlet or whatever.
• 1:04:21
  I thought she was deranged and just wanted to read the
• 1:04:23
  pamphlet. Yeah, but I like your thought.
• 1:04:25
  I think that that makes a lot of sense, actually.
• 1:04:28
  Well, they drive off and the kids, as we saw before, find the
• 1:04:33
  scene. And this time we see I'm
• 1:04:36
  probably Jordan here, walk up to Kristen and Kristen just screams
• 1:04:41
  in his face. Yep, Yep.
• 1:04:42
  And that's the end of the movie. All right, I'm still getting I'm
• 1:04:46
  going to keep it at 9.75. I think maybe if we didn't have
• 1:04:49
  like their super speed, it could be a ten.
• 1:04:53
  Yeah, that's that's the only thing that I can't logically
• 1:04:55
  explain. Yeah, the movie is so grounded
• 1:04:57
  that when it does these out there things, it's a little bit
• 1:05:00
  more jarring, I guess. Yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 1:05:03
  I'm keeping mine at 10 because, like, this movie does exactly
• 1:05:07
  what it went for. Like, it's so fucking scary.
• 1:05:10
  It's tense, like it's a it's a movie that's really easy for you
• 1:05:15
  to, like, get caught up in. Yeah, Talia was so stressed the
• 1:05:19
  whole time watching this. She was trying to eat my
• 1:05:20
  clipboard. That's how it.
• 1:05:22
  Started yeah, she's. An emotional eater, she was
• 1:05:24
  like. Right, I need to.
• 1:05:25
  Eat this. And she laid between us the
• 1:05:28
  whole time. I think Talia thinks this is
• 1:05:31
  super scary. She doesn't like strangers.
• 1:05:35
  She will not invite them inside. I think she'd give it a 10.
• 1:05:42
  I think she would too. Yeah, this is like her worst
• 1:05:44
  nightmare right here. She said if these people had a
• 1:05:48
  dog, this never would have happened.
• 1:05:50
  The dog would have just barked and scared the strangers away.
• 1:05:53
  She's probably right. Probably.
• 1:05:54
  Especially if they had a bark like Talia's bark Scary bark.
• 1:05:58
  Yeah, her bark is terrifying. Yeah.
• 1:05:59
  I just think about that time that my senior year of college
• 1:06:03
  when my roommate's apartment got broken into and the person heard
• 1:06:07
  Winnie barking the. Tiny little dog.
• 1:06:09
  Yeah. What you guys can understand
• 1:06:10
  about Rich and Neiner's is that she has a Shih Tzu Pickanese mix
• 1:06:14
  and weighed all of like 15 lbs but.
• 1:06:17
  She didn't have a ferocious bark either.
• 1:06:18
  Yeah, no, she barked. Exactly what you would expect a
• 1:06:21
  Shih Tzu Pickanese to sound like.
• 1:06:24
  Yeah, she still saved us that day.
• 1:06:26
  So. Zoe's old warrior.
• 1:06:28
  I'm just gonna go ahead and say James for digging into that ice
• 1:06:32
  cream. And like leaving the mess out
• 1:06:35
  afterwards for somebody else to. Deal with.
• 1:06:36
  Exactly. Yeah, because that's what Zoe
• 1:06:38
  does all the time, OK. And Zoe has also like tried to
• 1:06:43
  propose at really bad times and like, she doesn't.
• 1:06:46
  So read The Emotional Room. Yeah, now is not the time.
• 1:06:49
  Yeah, yeah. Just not ready yet.
• 1:06:54
  Who'd you relate to? Oh, man.
• 1:06:57
  OK, so I need to tell you a story.
• 1:06:59
  OK? I had friends in high school who
• 1:07:02
  were Mormons. Oh, OK.
• 1:07:04
  It wasn't really ever, like, discussed.
• 1:07:07
  Yeah, like, yeah, we're Mormon. OK, whatever.
• 1:07:10
  But I do think that after high school, they put my phone number
• 1:07:15
  like on some sort of contact list because I remember as a
• 1:07:17
  fresh and I got a call from somebody that was like, hey, is
• 1:07:20
  this Jesse? And I was like, yeah, who is
• 1:07:22
  this? And I was like such and such.
• 1:07:23
  I'm with the Church of Latter Day Saints and I was like,
• 1:07:26
  that's cool. And in my head, like, I was just
• 1:07:30
  thinking that this guy just had my number and I didn't question
• 1:07:33
  where it came from. And he's like, what do you know
• 1:07:36
  about the Church of Latter Day Saints?
• 1:07:37
  I was like, not much. And I'm here trying to be open
• 1:07:41
  minded and learn more. And he was like, well, do you
• 1:07:43
  ever feel lonely? And I was like, no, are you
• 1:07:45
  lonely? I talked to this guy for 45
• 1:07:49
  minutes. He's like, do you want a little
• 1:07:51
  travel booklet of, like some of the information about the Church
• 1:07:54
  of Mormon? And I was like, yeah, sure.
• 1:07:56
  I never got my pocketbook. He I think he wanted out of that
• 1:08:00
  situation. So I think I like out friendly
• 1:08:04
  the person who was supposed to like witness Mormonism to me
• 1:08:07
  just because I naively didn't understand that he was trying to
• 1:08:11
  convert. Me, I love the idea of you
• 1:08:13
  feeling so bad for this guy where you basically tell him
• 1:08:15
  like, man, you need God. Like, do you need a book, man?
• 1:08:19
  Do you need like, do you? You sound like you're in a bad
• 1:08:22
  place. So in that in that way, I relate
• 1:08:25
  to dolphins, OK. That's a story I haven't heard
• 1:08:28
  from you yet. Wow, I'm so proud of.
• 1:08:34
  You. I wasn't even doing it
• 1:08:35
  intentionally. I was just like, oh man, this
• 1:08:37
  man's lonely and he's trying to talk to me about his religion.
• 1:08:39
  I'll just talk to him for a little bit.
• 1:08:42
  I related to James only in the sense that I am bad about
• 1:08:46
  collecting the mail. I will leave a shit in the mail
• 1:08:49
  in the mailbox until it needs to be collected all at once.
• 1:08:52
  And then it's also really bad because I just generally for
• 1:08:55
  some reason assume you have checked the mail, so I have.
• 1:08:58
  No reason to go out to the mailbox anymore.
• 1:09:00
  I'm working from home now, you know?
• 1:09:01
  Like it's just like, why would I be out there?
• 1:09:04
  Yeah, yeah. And then the mailman gets
• 1:09:07
  frustrated with us sometimes. We had the mailman leave us a
• 1:09:09
  message in our mailbox. One time not to park the
• 1:09:11
  mailbox. We've got passive aggressive
• 1:09:14
  mailman, we really do. I started getting passive
• 1:09:16
  aggressive with them back whenever they give us like
• 1:09:18
  something from the wrong address.
• 1:09:20
  Used to be like, leave a little note like, you know?
• 1:09:23
  Return to center. Yeah, but now I just like, put
• 1:09:25
  the flag back on. Yeah, because not.
• 1:09:27
  You see, our names are written right in here.
• 1:09:30
  You started them? Yeah.
• 1:09:33
  OK. So we've already got our
• 1:09:35
  tagline. Yes, don't talk to strangers.
• 1:09:37
  Yeah, that. I like that.
• 1:09:40
  That's a good one. So let's do a dream sequel then.
• 1:09:43
  OK, yes, we're assuming that pray at night.
• 1:09:47
  Did not. Yes, we're not talking about
• 1:09:49
  that. Yeah, I honestly like, I want to
• 1:09:54
  see them do this again, but I want them to kind of like get a
• 1:10:01
  little fancy with it, OK? Like they're kind of honing in
• 1:10:04
  their skills and maybe they take in like another little like.
• 1:10:08
  4th. Street rat.
• 1:10:10
  Yeah, like to. Join them so you want to
• 1:10:12
  actually see more from their perspective rather than the
• 1:10:15
  victim's perspective. I'm not saying that I don't want
• 1:10:18
  it to be from the victim's perspective, because I do think
• 1:10:20
  that that's kind of important for us, Yeah, for like the
• 1:10:24
  audience to relate. But I want US is the audience to
• 1:10:28
  know like what their rough edges were in the first movie, and I
• 1:10:30
  want to see them fancy it up in the second.
• 1:10:32
  Movie I think you still need. Redemption for the ice cream.
• 1:10:36
  I want to see them put something back into the fridge or freezer
• 1:10:38
  in this next house. It's like in those Marvel movies
• 1:10:41
  where like at the end credits is like Blank will return, Iron Man
• 1:10:44
  will return and Avengers, like this time it's like ice cream
• 1:10:47
  will return in strangers. Too, I'm thinking more of the
• 1:10:50
  end of What is it, Fast 8 Fate of the Furious, where we see
• 1:10:55
  Statham as with the punching. Bag Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:59
  OK. Well, see, I think you gotta
• 1:11:01
  keep the mystery there a little bit so you can shed some light,
• 1:11:03
  but still keep them mysterious. Have it in a populated area.
• 1:11:11
  Yeah, have it in a city. Yeah, this is after they've got
• 1:11:14
  a few of these under their belt. Yeah, and this is how we're
• 1:11:17
  gonna see them. Fancy it up?
• 1:11:18
  How are they adapting to the city environment?
• 1:11:20
  They have to up the ante for themselves because it's just
• 1:11:23
  not. Starting at boring.
• 1:11:24
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 1:11:25
  So let's risk it a little bit. Let's do it where there's
• 1:11:28
  people. Are in and then it kind of adds
• 1:11:30
  to that because one of the things about this movie is that
• 1:11:31
  the final death happens like when it's daylight outside and
• 1:11:34
  daylight is supposed to be when you're safe.
• 1:11:36
  Yeah, exactly. That's when they finally die.
• 1:11:38
  And it should be the same, like, you know, you're in a more
• 1:11:41
  populated area. You should be safe.
• 1:11:43
  Like, your neighbors can see you and you have somebody always
• 1:11:47
  right there. And you shouldn't feel alone and
• 1:11:49
  isolated as you're being murdered.
• 1:11:50
  So yeah, I agree. All right.
• 1:11:52
  I think that that could be interesting.
• 1:11:55
  What would Dom do? What would Dom do?
• 1:11:59
  Well, he would have stolen that truck and he's.
• 1:12:01
  Driven off, that's the thing. We saw at one point James go out
• 1:12:04
  to the truck and he was unable to Hotwire it, so he couldn't
• 1:12:08
  get out of there. Dom could Hotwire that truck.
• 1:12:10
  Yes, he would RIP off like the cover and like do all of this
• 1:12:14
  shit with the engine and saw some Nos.
• 1:12:17
  And he would have known how to shoot the shotgun.
• 1:12:20
  Because he shotguns his weapon. This is a movie tailor made for
• 1:12:24
  Dom. And he wouldn't propose at a
• 1:12:25
  wedding. Yeah, no, he wouldn't be in
• 1:12:27
  this. He wouldn't be in this position
• 1:12:29
  in the first place. Did you know what he knows?
• 1:12:31
  His girlfriend. He knows that Letty wouldn't
• 1:12:33
  have said yes to that shit. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:12:35
  And. He would have also recognized
• 1:12:36
  that it would be rude because your friends are your family and
• 1:12:39
  you don't disrespect your family.
• 1:12:40
  You don't upstage family, right? That's what he would say, yeah.
• 1:12:45
  So yeah, this is an easy win for Dom right here.
• 1:12:47
  Yes, there's This is like a cold open to a fast and.
• 1:12:51
  Furious year, right? Yeah, we.
• 1:12:53
  Don't. It doesn't even get main plot
• 1:12:55
  treatment. I think though if OK so treated
• 1:12:58
  as a cold open, we still get him racing the strangers.
• 1:13:01
  Oh yeah, cuz like they have like a.
• 1:13:03
  But he like kind of races them in a way that it forces them off
• 1:13:06
  the road and they wreck and explode and then they're just
• 1:13:08
  gone. We don't have to worry about
• 1:13:09
  them for the rest of the. Movie fantastic.
• 1:13:11
  There we go. We got it.
• 1:13:13
  All right. OK, so I guess this is time for
• 1:13:16
  reviews. OK, All right, so I pulled us.
• 1:13:23
  AII knew that you liked this movie.
• 1:13:25
  Well, didn't enjoy watching it, but I know that you recognize.
• 1:13:28
  It Yeah, I like the movie itself, I just can't watch it
• 1:13:31
  very. Often, so I got a three out of
• 1:13:33
  10 on IMDb. It's titled a film as
• 1:13:36
  expressionless as its mass killers.
• 1:13:38
  Oh boy. This is reviewed in 2017, so
• 1:13:40
  pretty far removed from the release.
• 1:13:43
  Home invasion horror seems to have enjoyed a resurgence as of
• 1:13:46
  late. The Strangers one of a handful
• 1:13:48
  of similar titles to hit cinemas in recent years.
• 1:13:52
  OK, just recapping a bunch of other ones.
• 1:13:54
  The Strangers attracted a little controversy after supposedly
• 1:13:57
  being based on True story. It's still unexplained Murder in
• 1:14:00
  which a woman and three kids were brutally killed in their
• 1:14:02
  own home one night by, I suppose, Strangers without a
• 1:14:04
  motive. Sad truth is that the true
• 1:14:06
  story, which I read about online, is far more interesting
• 1:14:09
  than this cliched, boring and frankly forgettable attempt at
• 1:14:12
  horror. Heck, even the behind the scenes
• 1:14:14
  footage on the DVD was more interesting than the film
• 1:14:16
  itself. The problems with this film are
• 1:14:19
  tenfold. The entire lack of a plot
• 1:14:20
  doesn't help, unless you count the expository.
• 1:14:24
  Yeah, expository 1st 10 minutes, which introduces a central
• 1:14:27
  couple who are so caught up in themselves that you instantly
• 1:14:31
  dislike them. From then on, minor events are
• 1:14:34
  dragged out for endless minutes as the characters face a cat and
• 1:14:37
  mouse game with masked attackers.
• 1:14:39
  Plot points are 10, sometimes 20 minutes apart, and between then
• 1:14:43
  we just get ominous music and noises on the soundtrack.
• 1:14:47
  Can you say repetitive? It's as if the film makers saw
• 1:14:49
  the last 10 minute showdown between Jamie Lee Curtis and
• 1:14:52
  Michael Myers and Halloween and decided to expand it into a
• 1:14:55
  feature length. I'm not saying this concept
• 1:14:58
  can't work. Indeed, some films featuring
• 1:15:00
  just a couple of characters in a room worked very well, then did
• 1:15:04
  it expertly building tons of atmosphere without ever showing
• 1:15:08
  much. Which that is a good movie it
• 1:15:10
  is. It draws a lot of comparisons to
• 1:15:11
  this. The newcomer who made this film,
• 1:15:14
  Brian Bertino, seems to have no skill when it comes to suspense,
• 1:15:17
  world building or scares. We just get endless repetition.
• 1:15:21
  The first time we hear somebody knocking on the door is creepy.
• 1:15:24
  The next End Times isn't. There's no twist ending, no
• 1:15:27
  catch, just mundane stuff everywhere you look as cliche
• 1:15:30
  piles on cliche before the non ending that makes you think is
• 1:15:34
  it? Is that it?
• 1:15:35
  Liv Tyler is poor as the heroine in the in peril speedman.
• 1:15:39
  Featureless and wooden, the masked bad guys have the
• 1:15:43
  potential to be scary if the look of the main one hadn't been
• 1:15:46
  copied from the orphanage. I hear a sequel is to follow,
• 1:15:50
  but my question is why? This is about as bland, non
• 1:15:53
  scary and predictable as movie making gets.
• 1:15:55
  A film as as expressionless as its masked killers, all right.
• 1:15:59
  Here's the thing. I will say one thing I've
• 1:16:02
  noticed about a lot of like, slashers is that when we're
• 1:16:08
  taking notes, I realize that a lot more of the back and forth
• 1:16:11
  makes sense because you're like, Oh, well, they're going back
• 1:16:16
  this way because they have to do this because they have to do
• 1:16:18
  that. Some movies you're aware of that
• 1:16:21
  as you're watching it. Some, it just seems like there's
• 1:16:22
  a lot of back and forth until you're forced to pay attention
• 1:16:24
  like we are when we're taking notes.
• 1:16:26
  And this is one of those that like, I'm taking notes, I'm
• 1:16:28
  like, oh, they have to do this because this.
• 1:16:30
  Yeah, when you're just organically watching the movie,
• 1:16:33
  it does feel like a lot of running around in the yard or a
• 1:16:35
  lot of back and forth in the house.
• 1:16:36
  Yeah. So I can kind of maybe see that
• 1:16:40
  I disagree with like them continuing to draw out the
• 1:16:44
  stress and tension because that's the whole point of this
• 1:16:46
  movie. Yeah, I thought it was
• 1:16:48
  effective. Like I don't think like
• 1:16:49
  repeated, like I think it escalates.
• 1:16:52
  It's not like it's the same thing over and over again.
• 1:16:54
  Like you see it ramp up until it becomes like them actually
• 1:16:59
  dying, which I think actually works.
• 1:17:01
  I agree it does wear thin towards the end, which is kind
• 1:17:05
  of what I was saying before. But like, the movie is so short
• 1:17:08
  that it really doesn't outstate welcome that long.
• 1:17:11
  Like, it it wraps it up when it needs to.
• 1:17:13
  Pretty much. Yeah.
• 1:17:14
  Yeah. But I, I couldn't understand why
• 1:17:16
  that like, you know, like if you need a little bit more than just
• 1:17:20
  like the little like moments like that repeated things
• 1:17:23
  happening to build tension, like if you needed to like, be new
• 1:17:27
  and different as the movie goes. Yeah.
• 1:17:29
  OK. This is a single occasion, you
• 1:17:31
  know? Yeah.
• 1:17:33
  Like, you know, I thought that they used it really well.
• 1:17:37
  All right, let's do some listener reviews.
• 1:17:39
  Yes, it is. So First off, we have Marnie,
• 1:17:44
  who says one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen.
• 1:17:48
  I think everybody can agree with that, especially you and your
• 1:17:51
  mom over on Instagram. We have a couple more here,
• 1:17:58
  Michael Lee Howard says. I remember watching The
• 1:18:00
  Strangers in the theater. Holy crap, didn't scare me.
• 1:18:02
  This is how you do a home invasion movie and make it
• 1:18:04
  memorable. Everything about this movie is
• 1:18:06
  done to pure terrifying perfection. 9 1/2 outs in.
• 1:18:10
  Nice. Yeah, I wish I saw this one in
• 1:18:12
  theaters. It was really stressful in
• 1:18:15
  theaters. I can see this being one that
• 1:18:17
  would maybe get like a re release sometime down the line
• 1:18:20
  that I would love to go catch. Yeah, it would be nice for them
• 1:18:23
  to do that with Strangers Chapter 2 coming out.
• 1:18:25
  I am glad they didn't do it with Strangers.
• 1:18:28
  Chapter 1. Yeah, Yeah, I am excited for
• 1:18:32
  Chapter 2. Yes, just to be clear.
• 1:18:35
  And finally, Joe Freaktron says not many movies put me on edge
• 1:18:40
  the way this original of The Strangers does.
• 1:18:42
  An isolated location with random acts of violence taps into some
• 1:18:45
  deep fears. Incredible attention makes this
• 1:18:47
  one unforgettable. Yeah.
• 1:18:50
  That's the thing, like the the tension is really the thing that
• 1:18:53
  stills the show in this movie. Like, yeah, like I said, like
• 1:18:56
  it's high stress, low body count.
• 1:18:57
  It's just like people doing scary shit.
• 1:19:00
  And it is relatable because, like, that's such a common fear.
• 1:19:04
  Just like these people, just like with masks on, attacking
• 1:19:07
  you, killing you at your house. OK.
• 1:19:09
  You know, nothing that can happen or nothing you can do.
• 1:19:12
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:19:13
  OK. So that's it for this.
• 1:19:15
  OK. This weekend we're going to have
• 1:19:18
  RTB or not to be, and that'll be Travis's pick.
• 1:19:21
  Yeah. So let's all hope.
• 1:19:24
  It'll be awesome, and always. It's not always awesome, but
• 1:19:27
  sometimes it is. And then my next pick, Listen,
• 1:19:30
  sorry to those of you on the budget Patreon, because this
• 1:19:32
  probably feels cheap because it was the other one that you had
• 1:19:35
  the option to vote. Between Oh, are you?
• 1:19:36
  Doing that, yes, because I just found out that there's going to
• 1:19:38
  be a sequel later this year, so we're going to talk about
• 1:19:41
  Influencer. Shit, I thought you were talking
• 1:19:44
  about joyride. That's how you're saying there's
• 1:19:46
  going to be a Joyride 4? No last.
• 1:19:47
  Month, Yes. OK, Influencer.
• 1:19:50
  Yeah, yeah. OK, cool.
• 1:19:51
  We're gonna do Influencer, that's on Shredder.
• 1:19:54
  It's just I really like the movie.
• 1:19:57
  It's been on my mind. Then I found out that a sequel's
• 1:20:00
  coming later this year, so I know that you guys.
• 1:20:03
  Voted between that and Pearl last month, so I'm sorry that
• 1:20:06
  like I'm immediately putting this into the rotation this
• 1:20:08
  month, but it feels correct. Hey, you know, it's it's all
• 1:20:11
