- 0:48Speaker 1: Is that old smoker's cough coming back?
- 0:51Speaker 2: Holy ship, I'm here scientific fact that the wild Strawberry water,
- 0:56Speaker 2: like Crystal Light flavor packet and water will make you
- 0:59Speaker 2: cough exponentially more if you accidentally swallows you are I
- 1:03Speaker 2: don't know what it is. I could like literally choke
- 1:06Speaker 2: on any other drink a couple of coughs that one.
- 1:07Speaker 3: I'll be coughing for like ten minutes.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna go completely different way with
- 1:11Speaker 1: that science.
- 1:12Speaker 2: It's also the best flavor, so it's worth it. I
- 1:16Speaker 2: guess it's the only flavor I drink.
- 1:18Speaker 3: I don't mean yeah, and it occasionally tries to kill me.
- 1:21Speaker 1: The fruit punch is pretty good, but it's like very
- 1:24Speaker 1: fruit punchy. It's like too much of a punch, maybe
- 1:27Speaker 1: more fruit. You know.
- 1:28Speaker 3: I haven't liked fruit punch till I was like since
- 1:30Speaker 3: I was like seven.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I haven't liked it until I was like since I.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Was like seven.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Okay, you know, what do you? What are you? What
- 1:38Speaker 1: are you so distracted with? Over there? Nothing? Oh? Looking

- 1:46Speaker 2: God uh it's like it's like, yeah, I know, it
- 1:51Speaker 2: lives there for minutes you're gonna.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Make it worse.
- 1:57Speaker 1: This is episode one. We're back. We did it, and
- 2:01Speaker 1: I'm laughing at kunt again because I saw that again.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Since we didn't actually review this movie, we're.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Gonna try this time, no promises.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna do our best to actually get to
- 2:10Speaker 1: this movie and review it because we watched it a
- 2:13Speaker 1: week ago and then last week we just decided to
- 2:15Speaker 1: ship on some movies. Typically don't do that, but we
- 2:20Speaker 1: did it. So I.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Chopped up to Scott Teams.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much, sorry to him for saying that, but.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Also keep that on a T shirt and wear it.
- 2:33Speaker 1: People like who's Scott Teams? Look him up on IMDb.
- 2:36Speaker 3: You'll you'll hate him.
- 2:38Speaker 1: We'll just start a chanting instead of Halloween Die or
- 2:41Speaker 1: evil Guys. Taking a very very like hard stand is.
- 2:48Speaker 2: A hard, hard stance against Scott Teams. Sorry, dude, you
- 2:53Speaker 2: know what you did.
- 2:54Speaker 3: You're gonna reflect on this and you're gonna live in regret.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Probably not so Yeah, that we're actually going to tried
- 3:00Speaker 1: our best to get to a fantastic fear of everything,
- 3:02Speaker 1: as long as we don't get distracted with seventeen other movies.
- 3:06Speaker 1: But yeah, So that's the plan today. We have a
- 3:08Speaker 1: few things up top we'll talk about. But you know,
- 3:11Speaker 1: looking around the podcast room, it's something's different. It's just
- 3:14Speaker 1: it's so much more homie in here.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Is it because you hung artwork?
- 3:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I went I was hanging crazy. That's a weird
- 3:25Speaker 1: phrase or sentence. Let's not say that I went crazy
- 3:29Speaker 1: with hanging pictures. And I hung up my Friday the
- 3:31Speaker 1: Thirteenth Picture, My a movie that doesn't exist, that's not
- 3:34Speaker 1: a real movie. It was something from Sick Remember those,
- 3:38Speaker 1: uh those boxes? I got the horror boxes. What the
- 3:42Speaker 1: fuck were those called? Spook box, spook bag? Remember loot
- 3:46Speaker 1: fright crate. Yeah, it came in one of those, and
- 3:49Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's cool. And then I looked
- 3:50Speaker 1: up the movie to see if it was not real.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean, it's a cool poster, but I
- 3:53Speaker 1: wish it was real. But anyways, and then I got
- 3:55Speaker 1: my watch it. I mean, if it was real, I
- 3:57Speaker 1: would Alligator, the Howling g Ship, and House of Wax
- 4:00Speaker 1: Scream Factory posters up. And then My Doctor Sleep and
- 4:04Speaker 1: It Chapter two official movie posters from the actual theater
- 4:08Speaker 1: courtesy to Spencer Laugherman because he worked there for like
- 4:12Speaker 1: so many years, like over a decade. So it's looking.
- 4:16Speaker 1: And then I got all the hgen ones up there
- 4:17Speaker 1: in the corner behind Sam and it's looking it's looking
- 4:20Speaker 1: hell of fresh in here now. It's like it's it's
- 4:23Speaker 1: such a different feel now because the walls aren't blank.
- 4:25Speaker 1: And once we get those hung up over there and
- 4:27Speaker 1: that wall is full, it's like it just feels it
- 4:30Speaker 1: feels good in here. It's nice energy. I love it.
- 4:33Speaker 1: So that's exciting. Finally, it only took me almost ten
- 4:37Speaker 1: months of being actually exactly ten months because we moved
- 4:39Speaker 1: in last August. It's about nine ten months to actually
- 4:42Speaker 1: hang all this shit up. Yep, good for me. But
- 4:46Speaker 1: let's talk about some some news here. We have news.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I mean we don't have news.
- 4:51Speaker 3: We don't have.
- 4:54Speaker 1: H Jen has news and we have not we have
- 4:57Speaker 1: not talked about that yet, so they have all. It's crazy.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It is June twenty second, by the way, Happy birthday
- 5:05Speaker 1: at Bruce Campbell. It's his birthday today, shout out Bruce Campbell.
- 5:08Speaker 3: That explains why I hadn't drawing of Bruce Campbell in.
- 5:10Speaker 1: My time up Hail to the King baby, so happy
- 5:14Speaker 1: birthday to him, shout out him and fucking ye, it's
- 5:18Speaker 1: June twenty second and we have two houses, no scare zones,
- 5:21Speaker 1: eight houses left, some shows left that they still need
- 5:25Speaker 1: to announce, and we don't even have the frequent Fear
- 5:28Speaker 1: passes yet.
- 5:30Speaker 2: It's very un going on because like, yeah, about a
- 5:34Speaker 2: few weeks ago we were like, oh, we bought our
- 5:36Speaker 2: tickets at this point for frequent fear because we know
- 5:39Speaker 2: we try to go at least once a week minimum.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Yeah, we try to go twice a week, but you.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Know, obviously it's spooky time. There's a lot of other
- 5:48Speaker 2: stuff going on, and we're not twenty five.
- 5:51Speaker 3: We get sleepy. You get sleepy, I get sleepy.
- 5:54Speaker 2: We are exhausted from the work week. Sometimes sometimes it's not.
- 5:57Speaker 3: There, but we still try to make it at least
- 5:59Speaker 3: once a week, and.
- 6:01Speaker 2: So we have to wait for our tickets to come out.
- 6:03Speaker 2: They haven't come out yet, and it's weird because they've
- 6:05Speaker 2: also normally they've announced more houses by now, and for
- 6:09Speaker 2: them to have announced two two two, like I also
- 6:13Speaker 2: will just be like popping them off like each week
- 6:16Speaker 2: before it starts, like will we not know because they
- 6:18Speaker 2: eventually they set out.
- 6:19Speaker 1: The merch before it starts, well, it's kind of like
- 6:24Speaker 1: what they did last year, but last year, well no,
- 6:26Speaker 1: it's like it's almost like what happened in twenty twenty
- 6:29Speaker 1: because they didn't announce anything, didn't announce anything, and they're like, oh,
- 6:33Speaker 1: we can't do it. But last year I remember it
- 6:35Speaker 1: being more consistent with announcements. So I am not sure
- 6:38Speaker 1: why they're hiding everything from us. I don't think they're
- 6:44Speaker 1: going to cancel on us this year. They had it
- 6:46Speaker 1: last year. There's no reason to cancel this year. So
- 6:49Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. But we have two houses,
- 6:52Speaker 1: one of which is another Universal Monster's house, And not
- 6:56Speaker 1: that I don't appreciate those houses because they're super and
- 7:00Speaker 1: gorgeous and they look great, but it's like third year
- 7:03Speaker 1: in a row.
- 7:04Speaker 3: I was gonna say, in three years, come on, guys.
- 7:06Speaker 1: First it was Universal Monsters, so it was Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman,
- 7:13Speaker 1: I think there was other It.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Was pretty much a hodgepodge, like Phantom was in there.
- 7:17Speaker 3: It was everybody.
- 7:17Speaker 1: It was like everyone that was cool, and then last
- 7:19Speaker 1: year it was specifically the Brides of Frankenstein. Yep, okay cool,
- 7:24Speaker 1: And now it's like Wolfman Dracula and uh shiit, what's
- 7:29Speaker 1: the other one?
- 7:29Speaker 3: Mummy?
- 7:29Speaker 1: Mummy? This is like it's cool, but like, come on.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I mean and consider this though. It's also three years
- 7:38Speaker 2: with heavy, heavy Dracula themes. Because the first year they
- 7:43Speaker 2: had a whole section for Dracula and his brides.
- 7:47Speaker 3: Yeah, because remember the house.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Yeah, oh sorry, I thought you meant like a scarzone.
- 7:52Speaker 3: I was like, I had all section in the house.
- 7:55Speaker 3: Then the next then the next year.
- 7:59Speaker 1: That was the trash camp.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Oh.
- 8:01Speaker 2: The next year, like I know, it was the Bride
- 8:03Speaker 2: of Frankenstein, but also all of Dracula's brides.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Were in there.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was like a heavy theme. And then
- 8:11Speaker 2: this year again like we get we get it, guys,
- 8:14Speaker 2: you really like vampires.
- 8:15Speaker 3: I don't think i've been. I can't think of the
- 8:17Speaker 3: year I've gone that there wasn't a vampire though.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Yeah, because even the scare zone from twenty eight I
- 8:22Speaker 1: think was the uh Am baby five Vay five and
- 8:26Speaker 1: twenty sixteen was VAM fifty five. You weren't there for sixteen.
- 8:30Speaker 2: No, I'm thinking of the house with all the vampires
- 8:33Speaker 2: in it.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Call the hive. The hive, yeah, the host that someone
- 8:38Speaker 1: someone actually posted about that the other day in one
- 8:40Speaker 1: of the groups I'm in, They're like, oh, it was
- 8:41Speaker 1: my favorite house from that year. And I looked at
- 8:43Speaker 1: my rankings of them, because I keep track of that shit,
- 8:46Speaker 1: and it was the lowest on the totem pole for me,
- 8:48Speaker 1: and I was like, that's right. Yeah, I didn't like
- 8:49Speaker 1: that one at all. I mean, I mean, whatever, everyone's
- 8:52Speaker 1: gonna have different opinions, but I just thought it was
- 8:53Speaker 1: kind of interesting that year because there was so much
- 8:55Speaker 1: other better shit than the Hive. So yeah, the high Yeah. Yeah,
- 9:00Speaker 1: vampires every year, man, I.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Mean they are popular. I mean I know, I'm a
- 9:05Speaker 2: big vampire like fan. I love vampire lore. I'm currently
- 9:10Speaker 2: subjecting myself to Vampire diarysa Kit.
- 9:13Speaker 3: It's such a show. I can't stop watching.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Well, and speaking of vampires, on the subject of that,
- 9:19Speaker 1: we just started watching What We Do in the.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Shadows, such a better show.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's kur what is there? There's three
- 9:27Speaker 1: out four is on the way and they got renewed
- 9:29Speaker 1: for five and six. Yeah, and we're like halfway through two.
- 9:33Speaker 1: And I was the reason I never wanted to start
- 9:36Speaker 1: is because I was kind of resistant to it because
- 9:37Speaker 1: it's not tak it's not Jermaine Clemens and whatever the
- 9:41Speaker 1: other guy is, I can't I don't know his name.
- 9:43Speaker 1: But they are all producers and I believe writers on
- 9:46Speaker 1: the show. They're involved in some way, shape or form
- 9:49Speaker 1: incapacity of the show. Yep. But the people in the
- 9:52Speaker 1: show are essentially the same same exact character as almost
- 9:56Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Like they're the same but the same like kind of dynamics.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Yeah, so it still works.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Like I don't know their fucking names. The oh hello,
- 10:07Speaker 1: oh oh, what are you doing computer? Sorry, it's it's
- 10:13Speaker 1: a brand new show. I can't remember their names.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Laslow.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Yeah, he gives me Jermaine Clement vibe okay, and then
- 10:20Speaker 1: Nandor gives me Taikawa t t vibes. So they give
- 10:23Speaker 1: you like the similar vibes and they're completely different. Oh
- 10:25Speaker 1: my god, what happened? I kind of need this?
- 10:28Speaker 3: Hello, what you need that? I need them? I have
- 10:30Speaker 3: to be able to read what happened my ship?
- 10:34Speaker 1: My computer dime?
- 10:36Speaker 2: Okay, So I guess we'll get back to that in
- 10:38Speaker 2: a minute while you're shorting ship out.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Okay, we're got just plugging, so yeah, there it goes.
- 10:47Speaker 1: But yeah, that's on Where are we watching that Hulu?
- 10:50Speaker 3: Yes, on Hulu.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a great show. What do you tell
- 10:53Speaker 1: me what you like about it?
- 10:55Speaker 3: What do I like?
- 10:56Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 10:56Speaker 2: I love that kind of comedy. It's a dark humor.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Uh naughty is extremely funny. I like that they have
- 11:04Speaker 2: a female in the mix.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Yeah, because they didn't have well, no, they didn't have
- 11:09Speaker 1: on in the movie. Yeah they didn't. Yeah, they did not.
- 11:11Speaker 3: Have a female.
- 11:11Speaker 2: They have fantastic cameos in there, just like amazing guest
- 11:15Speaker 2: spots on that show.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Doug Jones definitely my favorite so far.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really cool. But yeah, it's just a
- 11:22Speaker 2: fun show. And if you like horror and you like
- 11:26Speaker 2: Gore but you don't like jump scares, like this is
- 11:30Speaker 2: a great show to watch.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I mean there's some moments though where you get like
- 11:33Speaker 1: whoa not that I can think of, Oh, well, finally whatever.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I think. The funniest ongoing joke of the like running
- 11:42Speaker 1: gag that they do is definitely when las Losa's bat
- 11:45Speaker 1: every time he turns into a bat, does not get old,
- 11:48Speaker 1: hasn't gotten old yet.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Literally explains it at one point He's like, yeah, when
- 11:51Speaker 2: I want to turn into a bat, I just yell
- 11:54Speaker 2: bat that he flies.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Up into the night and then, uh, Guillermo is Nandor's familiar, right,
- 12:00Speaker 1: it's his name Girmo, And I love his whole story
- 12:03Speaker 1: right now, with the whole.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Don't spoil it, mare what because if you haven't, if
- 12:07Speaker 2: you don't know what's going on, it's like something that
- 12:09Speaker 2: leads in on season two, So don't.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I guess that's true. Anyways, Well, I just
- 12:12Speaker 1: like what's going on with familiar.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Of ten years of dealing with his own stuff.
- 12:17Speaker 1: I love the scene too. There's a scene where he's like,
- 12:19Speaker 1: you've been my familiar for like what two years? Like ten? Oh,
- 12:21Speaker 1: he's like ten. Holy shit, Like, yeah, I'm kind of
- 12:24Speaker 1: waiting for you to, you know, get started on that
- 12:26Speaker 1: whole turning me into a vampire process. That'd be cool.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:30Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a freaking hilarious show, and I'm super
- 12:33Speaker 1: excited that they got renewed for two more seasons. And
- 12:36Speaker 1: it's like a super easy show to watch because it's
- 12:37Speaker 1: you know, twenty three minutes. It's not like an hour long,
- 12:40Speaker 1: you know, forty five minute show, so you can Benjamin quick.
- 12:42Speaker 1: There's like tennis season and yeah, they're just super funny
- 12:45Speaker 1: if you want to just have some mindless fun. I
- 12:48Speaker 1: highly suggest that we need to actually get back on
- 12:50Speaker 1: watching that because we stopped for a while. Yeah yeah,
- 12:54Speaker 1: so but anyways, yeah hhm going back to that, I mean,
- 12:57Speaker 1: I'm still excited for the Universal Monster's House, but yeah,
- 13:01Speaker 1: I feel like they're just getting a tad repetitive, just
- 13:04Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 13:06Speaker 2: I think they're trying to keep interest too, because they're
- 13:09Speaker 2: building that epic park and they're.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Supposed to be a yeah yeah monsters.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Section, so they want to keep the hype up on
- 13:16Speaker 2: those and keep the interest into those, and keep the
- 13:19Speaker 2: merchandise kind of rolling out for those.
- 13:21Speaker 3: So that way, they're really building like a background.
- 13:25Speaker 2: For that, because a lot of those other sections they
- 13:28Speaker 2: really can't, I will say. Thinking of this though, tragically
- 13:35Speaker 2: they did close the Monster Cafe.
- 13:39Speaker 3: For anyone who's been to Universal.
- 13:42Speaker 1: There the whole time.
- 13:45Speaker 2: There are some really good restaurants there, and there are
- 13:48Speaker 2: some we'd really like to try out an Islands of Adventure,
- 13:51Speaker 2: but like Monster Cafe easily the most fun themed like
- 13:56Speaker 2: restaurant in there, like all the different props and different
- 13:59Speaker 2: old movies.
- 14:00Speaker 3: They had stuff for the Delicious Rotisserie chicken you and
- 14:05Speaker 3: not chicken man.
- 14:07Speaker 2: I think I like it better over by the veloci
- 14:09Speaker 2: Velosa coaster. No, by the falls was it something falls
- 14:13Speaker 2: raptor falls or whatever. The dining place is over there
- 14:16Speaker 2: because they got the potatoes. But I'm actually kind of
- 14:20Speaker 2: curious because Monster Cafe is where they do the dining
- 14:24Speaker 2: thing with the characters during Halloween harmite.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Is that gonna be?
- 14:28Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully somewhere where you can stand in the shade
- 14:31Speaker 2: and not the searing hot sun beforehand.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I know they didn't do it last year,
- 14:37Speaker 1: but that was because you know, COVID, you know shit,
- 14:39Speaker 1: So that's fine. But yeah, this year, it's like, okay, well,
- 14:42Speaker 1: are they gonna just like decorate up a existing restaurant
- 14:46Speaker 1: for spooky times or are we gonna have it at
- 14:49Speaker 1: fucking lose or whatever? Like where's that gonna be? Are
- 14:51Speaker 1: they even gonna do it anymore?
- 14:53Speaker 2: Maybe they won't because they have the They have two
- 14:58Speaker 2: restaurants that don't get used during Halloween hornits, but those
- 15:01Speaker 2: get used for the rip tours, so where they have
- 15:05Speaker 2: the private bars and stuff, and then the other main
- 15:09Speaker 2: restaurants are too big.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Those are like your two main seating areas for food.
- 15:14Speaker 2: They're not going to eliminate one of the large restaurants
- 15:16Speaker 2: that people go to eat food in because you need
- 15:18Speaker 2: people to stop and take breaks to alleviate foot traffic
- 15:22Speaker 2: and lines.
- 15:23Speaker 3: So they might not have it anymore.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Maybe it's not performing as well either, because I remember
- 15:28Speaker 2: when we went there weren't a butt.
- 15:29Speaker 3: There were there were some people in there, but there
- 15:31Speaker 3: weren't a bunch of people, but I.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Did not it's sounding like butt. I mean, I guess, yeah,
- 15:38Speaker 1: but that was always just something cool to do. I mean,
- 15:40Speaker 1: we did it for the first time in twenty nineteen,
- 15:42Speaker 1: and we're like, let's do this next year, and then
- 15:44Speaker 1: next year didn't happen, and then it didn't happen in
- 15:46Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So I guess at least we got
- 15:48Speaker 1: to do it the one time and got the cool pictures. Yeah,
- 15:50Speaker 1: there's something, but yeah, they better move it to I'm
- 15:54Speaker 1: assuming they're gonna move it because there's literally been there
- 15:56Speaker 1: since the to my knowledge, since the park opened in whenever.
- 15:59Speaker 1: The I'm pretty sure. Yeah, well I've been there for
- 16:03Speaker 1: a hot damn minute.
- 16:04Speaker 2: And the big speculation we're all deeply afraid because they
- 16:08Speaker 2: also closed you know Shrek forty is that they've been
- 16:11Speaker 2: putting up these walls around them. And right across from
- 16:14Speaker 2: Shrek forty is the Minion's ride and all of these
- 16:19Speaker 2: fences that are going around the structure because Monster Cafe
- 16:22Speaker 2: and Shrek forty are like right there, one building, aren't they.
- 16:27Speaker 1: No, there's a there's a there's a street because you
- 16:29Speaker 1: have you have Shrek forty, and then you have the street,
- 16:32Speaker 1: and then you have strip.
- 16:34Speaker 3: I'm thinking of where Donkeys thing.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Yeah, you have Donkey thing here and then around that
- 16:38Speaker 1: side is the Monster Cafe. Yeah.
- 16:40Speaker 2: So I think everyone's a little bit afraid that they're
- 16:42Speaker 2: going to turn it into a big minion thing and
- 16:44Speaker 2: it's like oof. It's not that I don't like the minions.
- 16:49Speaker 2: I mean I like them in context of the Despicable
- 16:52Speaker 2: Me movies. Yeah, but I didn't really need like a
- 16:56Speaker 2: whole section of park.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Well. I also think that the little walls they put
- 17:01Speaker 1: up or just you know, the minions are working on things,
- 17:03Speaker 1: like you know, I don't think it's necessarily it's gonna
- 17:05Speaker 1: be minions. I mean I'm not I'm assuming it is
- 17:08Speaker 1: it probably, I mean, at least the restaurant's probably gonna
- 17:11Speaker 1: be minionized.
- 17:11Speaker 2: There's something mean, there is a Minion one at Menion
- 17:15Speaker 2: California and California.
- 17:16Speaker 1: So I don't think Shreks, I don't. I hope Shrek
- 17:19Speaker 1: isn't going to turn into something minions. I assume the
- 17:22Speaker 1: cafe is, but they better do something other than minions
- 17:25Speaker 1: because people are gonna get tired of that shit eventually.
- 17:28Speaker 2: I will say though, from what I've seen though, the
- 17:30Speaker 2: Minion cafe that they have in Hollywood has apparently got
- 17:34Speaker 2: some good food in it.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Oh. I mean, I'm sure the food's gonna be delicious,
- 17:37Speaker 1: but I don't.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Need you know, when we go in a couple of
- 17:39Speaker 3: years and the lines died down.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, I don't need an entire street of
- 17:43Speaker 1: fucking minions. I'm good, they're funny, but it's like it's
- 17:47Speaker 1: like that's gonna be that park's identity at this point.
- 17:49Speaker 1: It's like, you have so many other cool things you
- 17:51Speaker 1: could do, like Monster cafe, but just move it to
- 17:54Speaker 1: the new park, you know. Just move it to the
- 17:55Speaker 1: new park, make it bigger, make it better, make it
- 17:57Speaker 1: more awesome, and who knows, and mean, maybe Hhen will
- 18:01Speaker 1: have a new home at that park. Like, we don't
- 18:03Speaker 1: need we have no idea. It's totally possible that they
- 18:05Speaker 1: could open that park because it's going to be like
- 18:08Speaker 1: it is literally supposed to be. I saw the map
- 18:10Speaker 1: of it. It's almost like two times bigger than everything
- 18:13Speaker 1: that we have Universal and Hoa Ioway combined, So it's
- 18:19Speaker 1: supposed to be a massive park.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Well, my only thing is because the thing with Universal,
- 18:26Speaker 2: because I remember they did Islands of Adventure for a while,
- 18:29Speaker 2: but then they I guess they ended up having problems
- 18:30Speaker 2: so they just put it back.
- 18:31Speaker 1: At the one park that was also dual park though.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
- 18:36Speaker 2: I think that the only issue they would have with
- 18:39Speaker 2: moving into the bigger park is they have this nice
- 18:41Speaker 2: setup in Universal where it all looks like different cities.
- 18:46Speaker 2: It's all set up to look like different places, so
- 18:48Speaker 2: it's really easy to add set pieces to those places
- 18:53Speaker 2: and make them blend. Whereas like think about when they
- 18:59Speaker 2: did Lamett Island of Adventure and they were kind of
- 19:01Speaker 2: just had to go with what was there, because you know,
- 19:05Speaker 2: you got to put the nature stuff near Jurassic Park
- 19:07Speaker 2: because where the hell else are you gonna put the
- 19:09Speaker 2: greenery stuff? And you gotta put like the fun clowny
- 19:14Speaker 2: stuff over by the cartoon section, because it would look
- 19:17Speaker 2: weird anywhere else, like the having the Universal section be
- 19:21Speaker 2: more like the Universal towns be more you can recognize
- 19:26Speaker 2: the city, but they're they're more of a blank slate
- 19:28Speaker 2: to work off of, I know, And if they have
- 19:30Speaker 2: all these really specific sections in the Epic Park, then
- 19:34Speaker 2: it's gonna be really hard to work in a variety
- 19:36Speaker 2: of you know, scare zones.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I just it's also definitely hard at Universal too,
- 19:42Speaker 1: because it's more superhero themed than anything. You know, you
- 19:45Speaker 1: have all the superheroes and yeah, then you have Jurassic Park,
- 19:47Speaker 1: then you have you know, Poseidon, and then you and
- 19:49Speaker 1: then you have Harry Potter. Well now you do. Of course,
- 19:52Speaker 1: when it was at Iowa, there was no Harry Potter
- 19:55Speaker 1: land at or Town or hogsmet or whatever. Yeah, I
- 19:57Speaker 1: don't think so that's probably why they definitely can't do
- 19:59Speaker 1: it there. But I don't know, I'm just I'm just
- 20:01Speaker 1: trying because I don't I can't remember all the lands
- 20:03Speaker 1: that they have. I know they're gonna have like a
- 20:04Speaker 1: Monster Land and other lands, but I mean, they would
- 20:07Speaker 1: have more space to do more houses. It would be
- 20:10Speaker 1: bigger could hold more people. So I mean, I'm not
- 20:12Speaker 1: ruling it out as a possibility. Do I think it'll happen, No,
- 20:15Speaker 1: but it's it's entirely possible that they could potentially move
- 20:18Speaker 1: it to a bigger space where they could do more houses,
- 20:21Speaker 1: because it's getting more packed and more packed every fucking year.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Remember that one what was that twenty twenty nineteen when
- 20:30Speaker 1: that wound that famous you know, like the infamous picture
- 20:32Speaker 1: of like the line over the bridge and it's just
- 20:34Speaker 1: a fucking sea of people. That was an insane night.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Too many people. So oh, we gotta talk about the
- 20:40Speaker 1: other house too real quick. So yeah, that's uh, I
- 20:43Speaker 1: totally forgot about that house. So yeah, I mean, definitely
- 20:46Speaker 1: still excited for this year. Obviously, I'm gonna go through
- 20:48Speaker 1: the Monster's House and maybe that'll you know, I don't
- 20:51Speaker 1: think they've done the Mummy yet, though, I think that is.
- 20:53Speaker 1: I think that is.
- 20:54Speaker 2: There was a small mummy section, I believe, but there
- 20:58Speaker 2: was that like whole cursed Mummy house thing right.
- 21:01Speaker 3: A few years back.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Oh Two of the Ancients there you go. Yeah, that
- 21:04Speaker 1: was twenty sixteen.
- 21:05Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's been a while.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Yeah. Two of the Ancients was fucking awesome. So that's
- 21:09Speaker 1: the first house in the second house, which is really
- 21:11Speaker 1: not a shocker, but I'm surprised they're redoing this one. Specifically,
- 21:15Speaker 1: it's the nineteen seventy eight Halloween and so far at
- 21:19Speaker 1: this part that I to my knowledge, they've done Halloween,
- 21:21Speaker 1: Halloween two. Obviously they can't do Halloween three because no
- 21:23Speaker 1: Mike Myers. I mean, they could, but it would be different.
- 21:26Speaker 1: They did Halloween four, and now they're just like, fuck it,
- 21:29Speaker 1: We're going back to nineteen seventy eight, which is weird
- 21:32Speaker 1: because it's like, yeah, I mean that it is a
- 21:34Speaker 1: great movie, but it's like, why don't you do the
- 21:36Speaker 1: new one from twenty eighteen? Don't do kills, but why
- 21:39Speaker 1: don't you do the new one? Or I was not like,
- 21:41Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's weird that they're repeating
- 21:43Speaker 1: a house from nineteen seventy eight. I mean, I don't care,
- 21:45Speaker 1: it's gonna be The Halloween houses are always my favorite.
- 21:49Speaker 1: They're it's always a good time to go through, and
- 21:51Speaker 1: it's always nice to see, you know, Myers come back
- 21:54Speaker 1: and you know, throw his blade up in your face.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Maybe it's more cost effective to keep going back to
- 21:58Speaker 2: these ips.
- 22:00Speaker 3: That they already have.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean long reputations with Maybe there isn't
- 22:04Speaker 2: as much current hype for like, there aren't a lot
- 22:08Speaker 2: of franchises going on right now, Like there's been some
- 22:12Speaker 2: like there's been like a new Conjuring movie, But how
- 22:14Speaker 2: the hell are you going to do a Conjuring house?
- 22:16Speaker 2: You know, there haven't been a lot of large franchises
- 22:19Speaker 2: that have been pumped out movies where they would fit
- 22:22Speaker 2: in houses, and uh so maybe they're just trying to
- 22:27Speaker 2: fill in with what they have.
- 22:29Speaker 1: No, that's entirely possible. And I know they do Halloween
- 22:31Speaker 1: because obviously it's I mean I think it's this.
- 22:34Speaker 3: It's a crowd pleaser.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Well it's a crowd pleaser. And I'm pretty sure at
- 22:37Speaker 1: this point aren't the new ones universal, right, I know,
- 22:42Speaker 1: I can't remember. I don't know, but it's obviously it's
- 22:44Speaker 1: an easy property for them to obtain. And according to
- 22:48Speaker 1: the spec map too, which has changed as you if
- 22:51Speaker 1: you follow the spec maps, you know they changed. So
- 22:54Speaker 1: the spec map now obviously Halloween confirmed, Legends Collide, which
- 23:02Speaker 1: original the Blumhouse of Horrors is supposed to be back.
- 23:05Speaker 1: The Black Phone and Freaky are the two mashups. Uh
- 23:10Speaker 1: that I'd be so down for that evil dead bug house,
- 23:13Speaker 1: Seeds of Extinction, two l Choopercabra dead dead Man's Wharf,
- 23:16Speaker 1: which was a scare zone back in twenty sixteen, I believe.
- 23:20Speaker 1: And then the Weekend. I don't give a shit how
- 23:22Speaker 1: many people want to fucking dump all over the weekend house.
- 23:25Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I don't care. I will always,
- 23:28Speaker 1: I will always, like you know, I want to see
- 23:31Speaker 1: something new and different. So I don't know why people
- 23:33Speaker 1: are like, oh, the Weekend isn't horror. I don't care
- 23:35Speaker 1: if he's not. I just want to see a cool house,
- 23:37Speaker 1: like a cool music house. I was so on board
- 23:39Speaker 1: for Billie Eilish when they or when they were talking
- 23:41Speaker 1: about doing that, and remember.
- 23:42Speaker 3: It didn't happen. So like, Chilli, you tits, yeah, everyone
- 23:45Speaker 3: else so don't know what it's going to look like.
- 23:47Speaker 1: So again, Chi, everyone sees this and they're like, Dud,
- 23:50Speaker 1: just bullshit, Bud. I'm like, it's a spec map, guys,
- 23:53Speaker 1: calm it down. We have no idea the validity of this.
- 23:56Speaker 1: I mean, they are about seventy five percent accurate, i'd say,
- 24:00Speaker 1: but uh, fuck yeah, dude, I'm so down for a
- 24:02Speaker 1: weekend house. It'll be the music will be good. Yeah,
- 24:05Speaker 1: it'll be thump and bass and I don't you know whatever.
- 24:08Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll find a way to make it spooky.
- 24:10Speaker 1: I've also saw someone tweeted about the weekend not being
- 24:13Speaker 1: horror and someone posted two pictures from like his music
- 24:16Speaker 1: videos looks spooky as shit.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I don't know what's gonna happen, so why
- 24:21Speaker 2: don't you chill out.
- 24:22Speaker 1: I will always give things, like you know, like, uh,
- 24:25Speaker 1: I'll try everything once, you know what I mean.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Yeah, Like there's some that we were just like like, uh,
- 24:34Speaker 2: there were some houses where I know that we had
- 24:36Speaker 2: discussed them and they're like, oh, it could be fine.
- 24:38Speaker 2: But then like we read the premise, We're like that
- 24:40Speaker 2: sounds weird, but I mean, let's find out.
- 24:42Speaker 3: And then like we ended up loving them, like great
- 24:45Speaker 3: yard games.
- 24:45Speaker 2: We were like that doesn't make any sense, but sure,
- 24:48Speaker 2: and then we got in there and we loved that house.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Everybody loved that house. It was such a great house.
- 24:53Speaker 1: That was one of the best from that year. Yeah,
- 24:54Speaker 1: because the story, the story behind it was fucking stupid.
- 24:57Speaker 1: But then we saw it and I was like em.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Just because you've read a blurb or seen a picture.
- 25:03Speaker 2: A lot of the art for it.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Not even in the inside of the house.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Ye art.
- 25:09Speaker 3: You don't know how the house is gonna play out. Yeah,
- 25:11Speaker 3: give it a chance.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Give it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'll always give
- 25:14Speaker 1: it a chance. If I don't like it, I'm still
- 25:16Speaker 1: gonna go through it because we're gonna get expressed.
- 25:18Speaker 2: But you know, feel free to have all the opinions
- 25:20Speaker 2: you want after you've done it.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I you know, I don't I mean, yes,
- 25:24Speaker 1: did I have an opinion of the monsters Collide? Yeah,
- 25:26Speaker 1: because it's like it just feels it feels a little lazy.
- 25:29Speaker 1: It feels a little too easy.
- 25:30Speaker 3: But they have been fun.
- 25:31Speaker 1: But they've been fun, and they look they look fantastic.
- 25:34Speaker 1: You know. I'm just kind of tired of like, all right,
- 25:36Speaker 1: you know, even Halloween. I'm like all right, but you know,
- 25:38Speaker 1: I love the Halloween houses and at this point, I
- 25:41Speaker 1: don't care what they do. I'm just gonna go and
- 25:43Speaker 1: have fun and go through hunted houses. I really hope though,
- 25:45Speaker 1: that this Evil Dead is either well, it only can
- 25:49Speaker 1: only be too because it doesn't say evil Dead too.
- 25:51Speaker 1: I'm kind of hoping into the remake, you know what
- 25:53Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, of course i'd like to see
- 25:54Speaker 1: you know, a Bruce Campbell's you know, ash in there somewhere,
- 25:58Speaker 1: But the remake was so bloody and gorgon and there's
- 26:00Speaker 1: so many things i'd like to see come to life.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Probably gonna be the original, that's gonna be. That's still fine.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Probably not gonna be that's still fine. That's still fine.
- 26:07Speaker 1: I don't care. Or it could just be a fucking
- 26:09Speaker 1: evil dad just mash up house. Who knows.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Also, for real, though, if you go to Halloween Horn,
- 26:14Speaker 2: it's more than once, every house will get repetitive, So
- 26:18Speaker 2: simmer down because you're gonna go through all the houses
- 26:21Speaker 2: several times. So like, it's not gonna be new every time. Yeah,
- 26:26Speaker 2: I mean, they do like to change stuff to confuse
- 26:28Speaker 2: the shit out of you.
- 26:29Speaker 1: But you know that's what I love about Halloween Hornits
- 26:31Speaker 1: you're like, oh, you're you're new there. Oh hello. The
- 26:35Speaker 1: one I can remember the most was uh oh man.
- 26:38Speaker 1: I don't remember the name of the house, but it
- 26:39Speaker 1: was from twenty sixteen. It was like the Western that's
- 26:43Speaker 1: my gold house, and it might be profe in my pocket,
- 26:47Speaker 1: and the whole entire season there was this this scare.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Actor was not there last night I went, which was
- 26:54Speaker 1: I think closing night or maybe you know, maybe I
- 26:56Speaker 1: just missed them. But their last night someone like they
- 26:59Speaker 1: added a stroke and someone reached down from the roof
- 27:01Speaker 1: and I almost fell over because I had never seen that,
- 27:04Speaker 1: been through that house like twelve times, and it freaked
- 27:06Speaker 1: me out. Of course, you know, I had been me.
- 27:08Speaker 1: It was me and Scott. We had been drinking and
- 27:09Speaker 1: we both that he got both of us. We like,
- 27:12Speaker 1: we're so taken back. So I love that they constantly
- 27:14Speaker 1: add new scares and try to work in different things
- 27:17Speaker 1: like that guy crawling on the ground and graveyard games.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Oh my god, so nervous every time in that house
- 27:23Speaker 2: because they're like, is it castor And he's just.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Reaching out and crawling on the ground and you cannot
- 27:29Speaker 3: be at ankle heightened.
- 27:30Speaker 1: No, that scares the fuck, especially for me being so tall.
- 27:33Speaker 1: I don't like things that are on the ground because
- 27:35Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't freaks me out. Well, I'm
- 27:37Speaker 1: not a fan of that.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Someone at arm's length you can defend yourself from, but
- 27:41Speaker 2: your brain goes oh, there's someone down here.
- 27:44Speaker 3: I'm standing on my feet available and someone reaches out
- 27:48Speaker 3: at you. You like, I don't know where to go.
- 27:50Speaker 1: I don't know what. Yeah, yeah, so very excited. September
- 27:55Speaker 1: second through October thirty first this year to really it's
- 28:00Speaker 1: really weird that they're ending on a Tuesday, but I
- 28:03Speaker 1: mean or a Monday, but you know whatever. So in
- 28:07Speaker 1: their strat's the earliest they started to the second. That
- 28:10Speaker 1: is so early, so that'll be a lot of fun
- 28:12Speaker 1: this freakin' spooky time, spooky season. But let's talk about
- 28:16Speaker 1: two movies real quick before we go on to this
- 28:18Speaker 1: movie that we saw recently. Well I say recently, but
- 28:22Speaker 1: it's the two we didn't get to talk about the
- 28:24Speaker 1: last episode because we were too busy shitting on other movies,
- 28:29Speaker 1: So I said, should have just called a fire starter,
- 28:33Speaker 1: son of a bitch? We did dash Can we did Firestarter?
- 28:37Speaker 1: Did we talk about Oh, you haven't seen the Sadness yet? Okay,
- 28:40Speaker 1: Sadness is amazing, But yeah, real quick. The Curse is
- 28:44Speaker 1: a New is a new werewolf movie for this year?
- 28:47Speaker 1: Came out a while back in theaters, and then I
- 28:49Speaker 1: just bought the Blu ray because I heard good things.
- 28:52Speaker 1: I quite enjoyed it. I liked the setting. I I
- 28:57Speaker 1: liked how the vampire, not the vamp, the werewolves came
- 29:02Speaker 1: to be. It was a completely different like origin story.
- 29:04Speaker 1: It wasn't like, oh I got bit, I'm a werewolf.
- 29:07Speaker 1: They kind of made it a little different, you know,
- 29:10Speaker 1: with the teeth and stuff like that. I thought that
- 29:12Speaker 1: was a pretty cool thing. And then how you became
- 29:15Speaker 1: the werewolf was completely different with all those weird strands
- 29:19Speaker 1: coming off of you. And then like the it was.
- 29:22Speaker 1: It was very creative in a way. But the biggest
- 29:25Speaker 1: drawback for me was the CG when you actually saw
- 29:27Speaker 1: the werewolf. It was quite bad, Yeah, quite bad. But
- 29:31Speaker 1: everything else about it I thought was pretty smart. You know,
- 29:35Speaker 1: it's something new in the terms of werewolves that I
- 29:38Speaker 1: that you know, they they they took it in a
- 29:40Speaker 1: different direction, so I had to give them props for that.
- 29:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:43Speaker 2: I like the way they did the transformation. I was
- 29:47Speaker 2: kind of just about the movie in general. I mean, like,
- 29:54Speaker 2: there was plenty of gore. Uh, there was plenty, like
- 29:57Speaker 2: what's gonna happen? But for me, I think the problem
- 30:00Speaker 2: as like the storyline was a little too vague because
- 30:03Speaker 2: they were like We're kind of wondering through most of
- 30:05Speaker 2: the movie, what the hell the part the point of
- 30:07Speaker 2: the first part is, And then when we get to
- 30:09Speaker 2: find out what it is, you're like, I'm still not
- 30:12Speaker 2: entirely sure why they needed to do the first part
- 30:15Speaker 2: of the film, like the intro in because it just
- 30:17Speaker 2: felt like weird and unnecessary. Yeah, and also, of course, uh,
- 30:23Speaker 2: we've discussed this on other episodes.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Offensive depiction of Gypsies again.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was like, oh, as we all know
- 30:32Speaker 2: Gypsy's curse people. I feel like, uh, these Gypsies just
- 30:39Speaker 2: wanted their land and not to get massacred, and uh,
- 30:44Speaker 2: everybody got what was coming to them. I mean, sucks
- 30:48Speaker 2: to be the kids of those people. But you know,
- 30:51Speaker 2: uh yeah, it would be nice if we could stop
- 30:53Speaker 2: using gypsy curses the explanation for everything. There are other
- 30:57Speaker 2: ways to get curses. It could be a nondescript curse,
- 31:00Speaker 2: also an option.
- 31:01Speaker 1: I thought they were they Native Americans though.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Or no, those were Gypsies.
- 31:05Speaker 1: When there were Native Americans that cursed the people for
- 31:08Speaker 1: being on their land.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Uh not in this film.
- 31:10Speaker 2: This film was Gypsies because it was European, okay, and
- 31:14Speaker 2: Native Americans wouldn't be in Europe.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was European.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, sorry, and uh, frankly, who's a graphic brutalization
- 31:26Speaker 2: of gypsy people? But yeah, I mean, but the visuals
- 31:31Speaker 2: were cool and they did not shy aways from some
- 31:34Speaker 2: of the more violent stuff.
- 31:36Speaker 3: Was hard to look at.
- 31:38Speaker 2: I just felt like it could have been like it
- 31:40Speaker 2: wanted to go for artsy, but didn't quite go all
- 31:43Speaker 2: the way to artsy, so you're just like, I.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Don't know where you want to be.
- 31:47Speaker 1: I've also been trying to take into consideration on my
- 31:50Speaker 1: ratings how it looks, how it sounds, and this. You know,
- 31:54Speaker 1: the cinematography in this was very well done. I mean, yeah,
- 31:57Speaker 1: the score as well. So I'm trying to take that
- 31:59Speaker 1: and include those into my ratings more and more, because yeah,
- 32:03Speaker 1: I did really enjoy this, and it was a little
- 32:05Speaker 1: it was it was a tad on the long side too.
- 32:07Speaker 1: It's about an a about an hour and fifty so,
- 32:10Speaker 1: you know, one forty five without you know, without credits,
- 32:12Speaker 1: so it's a tad been on the long side. But yeah,
- 32:15Speaker 1: I just I really, I don't know, I really enjoyed it.
- 32:18Speaker 1: I would definitely watch that again. You know, there are
- 32:20Speaker 1: some things that you know, like you said, the whole
- 32:21Speaker 1: gypsy thing, there are other ways to explain, you know, curses. Yeah,
- 32:26Speaker 1: I agree with you.
- 32:27Speaker 2: I mean I get the weird correlation between gypsies and werewolves.
- 32:31Speaker 3: It's like a long.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Ass thing, yeah, with gypsies and supernatural creatures.
- 32:37Speaker 3: Oh boy, what's that about?
- 32:39Speaker 2: Somebody explained it to me, because like, I get it
- 32:41Speaker 2: in the sense that I know it's a thing that
- 32:43Speaker 2: people like to do, but I don't understand why like
- 32:47Speaker 2: it does it? Werewolves do not always equal a gypsy curse.
- 32:50Speaker 1: That's true, No, I understand. Yeah, I don't know. I
- 32:53Speaker 1: obviously think I enjoyed this much more than you did.
- 32:56Speaker 1: You did, Okay, Well, I guess that's just me. I
- 33:00Speaker 1: had a two point nine out of five on the
- 33:02Speaker 1: Letterbox and I don't think it's streaming anywhere. But I
- 33:05Speaker 1: picked up the Blu ray for like nineteen ninety nine,
- 33:07Speaker 1: So that's the curse from this year. Don't be confused
- 33:10Speaker 1: on Letterbocks because it says it was from twenty twenty one,
- 33:12Speaker 1: but it was not available to us in the US
- 33:14Speaker 1: since it is a European film until this year. Next up,
- 33:19Speaker 1: do we talk about Blackwell Goes six. No, we did not.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Well.
- 33:23Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say much about it because it's kind
- 33:25Speaker 1: of hard to talk about it without immediately giving away spoilers.
- 33:27Speaker 1: But if you know anything about the Blackwell Ghost series,
- 33:32Speaker 1: Clay Turner, Clay, He's done this whole thing where you know,
- 33:38Speaker 1: it really blurs the line between fiction and reality, Like
- 33:41Speaker 1: especially with like four and five, it's like, I know
- 33:44Speaker 1: these are probably all fake, but honestly, he's so convincing
- 33:48Speaker 1: that making it feel real that I really don't know
- 33:52Speaker 1: what to believe. And this one guy the other day
- 33:54Speaker 1: was like, it's all fake, blah blah blah. Okay, that's great.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Let me like, let me enjoy it how I want
- 33:58Speaker 1: to enjoy it. But he just did six one for
- 34:00Speaker 1: this year, and it was I don't know how it's
- 34:02Speaker 1: somehow for me, at least, it was the best one. Like,
- 34:05Speaker 1: it's insane how these movies have just increasingly got better
- 34:08Speaker 1: and better and better. You didn't like it at all?
- 34:10Speaker 3: Apparently, no, it thought that I didn't like it.
- 34:12Speaker 1: I saw your rating. I was like, wow, oh shit.
- 34:16Speaker 3: I didn't read it that low, did I?
- 34:17Speaker 1: Yeah? It was. I mean it's pretty low for me.
- 34:20Speaker 3: See I it's not that I didn't like it.
- 34:23Speaker 2: It still had the good scares in it, which is
- 34:26Speaker 2: what I really appreciate about that is like I didn't
- 34:29Speaker 2: read it that low.
- 34:29Speaker 1: It's pretty well compared to mine at least.
- 34:32Speaker 2: So yeah, Well, my issue for me it was that
- 34:36Speaker 2: in without giving too much away, obviously though, the whole
- 34:39Speaker 2: concept of and it's in the blurb like it's this one,
- 34:41Speaker 2: this haunting hits closer to home. Yeah, and for me,
- 34:45Speaker 2: the introduction of his children and.
- 34:49Speaker 3: His own house into the story.
- 34:52Speaker 2: And like how closely it started to feel a little
- 34:55Speaker 2: too convenient for me, And like that's where it kind
- 34:59Speaker 2: of lost me, because the other ones, it's like, yeah,
- 35:01Speaker 2: he totally could have stumbled onto a house with a
- 35:04Speaker 2: haunting and stumbled onto this other house. He totally could
- 35:06Speaker 2: have done that. That's a real thing that people do.
- 35:09Speaker 2: But what doesn't usually happen is someone just is in
- 35:12Speaker 2: their house and suddenly they're dealing with their own ghost problem.
- 35:15Speaker 2: And so for me, it felt like too convenient a
- 35:18Speaker 2: way to interject or inject his own life into it
- 35:24Speaker 2: and to tie him more closely to the other stories
- 35:28Speaker 2: or really the most recent haunting he had done in
- 35:30Speaker 2: the previous films, and I was like, it's harder to
- 35:35Speaker 2: buy when you when you're putting too much of yourself.
- 35:38Speaker 2: It worked better for me when he was more of
- 35:40Speaker 2: a guy that was outside looking in that kind of
- 35:44Speaker 2: accidentally brought this upon himself by getting too curious.
- 35:47Speaker 1: You know, I see, I'm completely the opposite way. I
- 35:50Speaker 1: thought it was perfect that he did because it's always
- 35:52Speaker 1: been about other things, and now due to certain events
- 35:55Speaker 1: that happened to him, that's why it's happening to him,
- 35:58Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's not like a game.
- 35:59Speaker 1: It's the reason for me is it's not like it's oh,
- 36:02Speaker 1: because he got too close to doing the investigation, it
- 36:05Speaker 1: latched onto him. It's what happens in the first five
- 36:07Speaker 1: seconds of the movie that is like, oh, okay, so
- 36:09Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. It made sense to me.
- 36:11Speaker 1: It'sought's a very emotional I cried the first time I
- 36:13Speaker 1: watched it, so that was fun. But if you're a
- 36:16Speaker 1: fan of fan of fan footage fane, if you're a
- 36:21Speaker 1: fan of found footage and you haven't even seen any
- 36:24Speaker 1: of them, check out the first one. It's for free
- 36:26Speaker 1: on Amazon. Then all the other ones are rented I
- 36:29Speaker 1: just bought them all because I love them so much.
- 36:30Speaker 1: But yeah, Blackwell goes six. I assume he's gonna make
- 36:33Speaker 1: a seventh one because he does not pick up the
- 36:36Speaker 1: story from five again due to something that happened in
- 36:39Speaker 1: his life. I don't think he had a means of
- 36:42Speaker 1: continuing the story from five. But I believe he's making
- 36:44Speaker 1: a seventh one to pick up that story because he
- 36:47Speaker 1: leaves us on a cliffhanger in five with the map.
- 36:50Speaker 1: So yeah, so yeah, that's a great one. And then
- 36:53Speaker 1: we also watched the new Cronenberg joint called Crimes of
- 36:57Speaker 1: the Future. We'll make this quick because I don't want
- 37:00Speaker 1: to talk too much about it. It's just I just
- 37:02Speaker 1: want to say it was fucking awesome.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Yeah that was a wild movie.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Okay, but sorry. I don't know if anyone else saw
- 37:09Speaker 1: this on the internet like I did. But there was
- 37:14Speaker 1: this thing, it was like a Twitter thing that was
- 37:16Speaker 1: like a tweet that was posted around It said the
- 37:18Speaker 1: last twenty minutes of Crimes of the Future are going
- 37:21Speaker 1: to cause panic attacks and walk outs and like making
- 37:24Speaker 1: people nas Just that did not happen for me, so
- 37:28Speaker 1: or or any of us. Me, you and Spencer were
- 37:31Speaker 1: like we were all waiting for the last twenty minutes
- 37:33Speaker 1: because we thought it was going to be absolute, raw
- 37:35Speaker 1: insanity and we didn't get that. Not that it wasn't
- 37:38Speaker 1: a good ending, but I was expecting so much more
- 37:42Speaker 1: than I got, so some you know, it weirdly got
- 37:45Speaker 1: hyped up for me and did not meet my expectations,
- 37:48Speaker 1: and I was kind of upset that someone put that
- 37:51Speaker 1: out on the internet when it wasn't true. I mean,
- 37:53Speaker 1: I've seen so much like when you watch The Sadness
- 37:57Speaker 1: that you'll see what like what that. I think that
- 38:00Speaker 1: was talking about the Sadness, not Grahams in the Future.
- 38:03Speaker 1: So yeah, it was kind of weird to see that
- 38:05Speaker 1: because I was totally fine throughout that. I mean, yeah,
- 38:08Speaker 1: there was some pretty fucking crazy parts, but overall, the
- 38:11Speaker 1: last twenty minutes weren't anything that made me want to
- 38:13Speaker 1: throw up, faint or walk outs. So I don't know
- 38:16Speaker 1: who wrote that, but falsitudes. So if you saw that,
- 38:20Speaker 1: go into it expecting that to not probably that to
- 38:23Speaker 1: probably be not a thing.
- 38:24Speaker 2: So I mean it really the whole movie's a metaphor,
- 38:27Speaker 2: so oh, I know, yeah, it's really not like.
- 38:29Speaker 3: It's very Cronenberg it's very Cronenberg.
- 38:32Speaker 2: It's very like a message of like trying to control
- 38:37Speaker 2: things you can't control.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, in you know, body horror of course, because yeah, Croningberg.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Well, because that's usually a really good way to depict
- 38:46Speaker 2: that kind of thing, because if it's happening directly to you.
- 38:50Speaker 3: But uh yeah, I.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Mean if you're going in, if you're going in for like, ah,
- 38:56Speaker 2: this is gory nightmare horror, it was not near as
- 39:00Speaker 2: like gory as I thought it was gonna.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Be like video Drome or fly.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Yeah, frankly it was was way more tame uh than that.
- 39:11Speaker 3: But yeah, if you just if.
- 39:13Speaker 2: You're going in for like actual scares, this is not
- 39:16Speaker 2: that kind of horror movie. It is literally one big
- 39:18Speaker 2: artistic metaphor, so like is there gross stuff in it? Yeah,
- 39:22Speaker 2: but you're looking for jump scares, this ain't it.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:25Speaker 3: It was really cool though.
- 39:26Speaker 1: It was very good, very well done. It was nice
- 39:28Speaker 1: to see Cronenberg return, and he's doing another movie that's
- 39:31Speaker 1: gonna be out next year, I think too. So it's
- 39:33Speaker 1: nice to see him come back to his roots because
- 39:34Speaker 1: he kind of, you know, did other things like History
- 39:38Speaker 1: of Violence, Eastern Promises, stuff that weren't really horror. They
- 39:41Speaker 1: were more I don't know, kind of like I guess, drama, thriller,
- 39:44Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that. But when there was gory
- 39:47Speaker 1: in thriller. Yeah, but when there was like gory moments what.
- 39:50Speaker 3: I can't hear me?
- 39:51Speaker 1: Well, I turned you down.
- 39:52Speaker 3: Sorry, thank you.
- 39:54Speaker 1: There are when there are gory moments in those movies.
- 39:57Speaker 1: He goes all the way with it. So it's nice
- 39:58Speaker 1: to see him return to form. Can't wait to see
- 40:01Speaker 1: what he does next. Let's get into this fucking movie.
- 40:03Speaker 1: We got to talk about this movie. Go for it.
- 40:05Speaker 1: It's time fantastic Fear of Everything. All right, let's do this.
- 40:09Speaker 1: This is from twenty twelve, released on June eighth in
- 40:12Speaker 1: the UK of that year. I'd had a limited run
- 40:15Speaker 1: in the US starting February seventh of twenty fourteen, and
- 40:18Speaker 1: then Shout Factory did a shout select of this on
- 40:22Speaker 1: May ninth, twenty seventeen, with you know, Simon Peg looking
- 40:26Speaker 1: like an insane person as he you know, is throughout
- 40:28Speaker 1: the movie. But yeah, I went ahead and bought that.
- 40:30Speaker 1: I don't even remember how I how I think you
- 40:33Speaker 1: came to me with this movie, and I.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Was like, oh, shuit is me trying to select movies
- 40:37Speaker 2: for the podcast, and I literally went through like streaming
- 40:40Speaker 2: services and saved movies that were available, and I always
- 40:44Speaker 2: like Simon Peg.
- 40:44Speaker 1: So yeah, I and I happen to see that not
- 40:47Speaker 1: only was there a Blu ray, but Shout Factory did it,
- 40:49Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, so I bought that. This
- 40:53Speaker 1: is rated R four, No sex and nudity, mild violence
- 40:56Speaker 1: and gore, moderate profanity, thirty two fucks in one cunt,
- 41:00Speaker 1: mild alcohol, dougs and smoking, drugs and smoking and god
- 41:06Speaker 1: damn dugs and and and smoke, and mild frightening and
- 41:10Speaker 1: intense scenes. This has a runtime of an hour and
- 41:12Speaker 1: forty minutes. Listed as a comedy whore. This was directed
- 41:17Speaker 1: by a man named Crispin Mills Where's My Mouse Who's
- 41:21Speaker 1: only directed two things and also did a movie called
- 41:24Speaker 1: Slaughterhouse Rules, also directed by a man named Chris Hopewell
- 41:28Speaker 1: who only has twelve directing credits and has done music
- 41:31Speaker 1: videos and shorts, so there you go. Also written by
- 41:35Speaker 1: Crispin Mills who only has two writing credits. The other
- 41:38Speaker 1: was four Slaughterhouse Rules whatever. That is composed by a
- 41:42Speaker 1: man named Michael Price who is composed, who has fifty
- 41:45Speaker 1: eight composer credits and has done things like The Sherlock
- 41:47Speaker 1: Show and the Dracula mini series. Cinematography by Shiman Simon
- 41:54Speaker 1: shout Chaudoir. That's a French name. I think, sorry if
- 41:57Speaker 1: I butchered that. He has forty three cinematographer credits and
- 42:01Speaker 1: has done mainly music videos and shorts. So a lot
- 42:04Speaker 1: of people that you know this is like they're big thing.
- 42:08Speaker 1: I guess, very weird. Uh starring Simon Pegg. He only
- 42:14Speaker 1: has as Jack. He only has one hundred and eleven
- 42:16Speaker 1: acting credits. No big deal. You should probably know him
- 42:19Speaker 1: from Sean of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Pitchhiker's Guide
- 42:21Speaker 1: to the Galaxy Worlds, and you know, many many things.
- 42:26Speaker 1: The man acts what.
- 42:29Speaker 3: I can't remember who he was in Hitchhikers. Huck he's
- 42:33Speaker 3: the main guy in Hitchhikers.
- 42:34Speaker 1: Oh no, he's not sure he's not. That's Martin Short. Wait,
- 42:39Speaker 1: maybe I'm maybe I'm mistaken. Then maybe I was taking
- 42:41Speaker 1: of Martin Short.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Okay, so he's not in that film. I'm like, I
- 42:44Speaker 2: don't recall him being in that film. He is currently
- 42:47Speaker 2: in the Boys.
- 42:49Speaker 1: On a second, did I that upshot.
- 42:55Speaker 2: And for some reason, he has been in a ship
- 42:58Speaker 2: ton of the Mission Impossible movies, which is the only
- 43:02Speaker 2: reason I'd think of watching those, But unfortunately there's still
- 43:06Speaker 2: Mission Impossible movies, and therefore I have no interest.
- 43:10Speaker 1: I think I fucked that up.
- 43:12Speaker 3: I think they don't even look alike man chinge your hair.
- 43:17Speaker 3: That's about where that ends.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Oh my god, why did I okay, not Hitchhikers go?
- 43:23Speaker 1: What the fuck was I was I drunk when I
- 43:25Speaker 1: did this, because like I always go to their page
- 43:27Speaker 1: and just take the top movies. I guess I must
- 43:29Speaker 1: have been. I don't know, Okay, moving on, moving on,
- 43:32Speaker 1: not Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Uh.
- 43:34Speaker 1: Then we have Paul Friedman. Paul Freeman is doctor fried Kin,
- 43:39Speaker 1: who has one hundred and thirty four acting credits. Was
- 43:41Speaker 1: in Raiders of the Lost Ark as Bellick. You might
- 43:44Speaker 1: know him from that movie, and he was also in
- 43:45Speaker 1: Hot Fuzz as well. It's funny because you were like,
- 43:47Speaker 1: I know that guy, I'm like, come on, you know,
- 43:49Speaker 1: and then he looked it up and yeah, right to
- 43:51Speaker 1: the Lost Ark. He looks much much different in this movie.
- 43:54Speaker 1: Same accent though, Yeah, that I guess.
- 43:56Speaker 3: It's just his accent that reason.
- 43:59Speaker 1: I don't know he was playing a Nazi in that movie,
- 44:01Speaker 1: so I thought he was just doing a thing. We
- 44:04Speaker 1: got Amara Karen as san Jeete, who has twenty four
- 44:07Speaker 1: acting credits and was in the Darje Dealing Limited as Rita.
- 44:11Speaker 3: And she's also in Doctor Who.
- 44:13Speaker 1: There You Go. And then Claire Higgins as Claire to Grenwald,
- 44:17Speaker 1: who has seventy nine acting credits and was in hell
- 44:19Speaker 1: Raiser one and two is Julia. She was the mom
- 44:21Speaker 1: and hell Raiser one in two liked her a lot
- 44:24Speaker 1: more in this yeh estimated budget of one point five
- 44:28Speaker 1: pounds and an estimated box office gross of ninety seven thousand.
- 44:32Speaker 1: So this is what you would call a fucking flop.
- 44:35Speaker 1: I don't know how accurate these are, but this is
- 44:36Speaker 1: what IMDb is giving me, so we're gonna go with that.
- 44:40Speaker 1: Filmed in Shepperton Studios in Shepperton, England, in London, England
- 44:44Speaker 1: as well. You can watch us on Stars Shout Factory
- 44:47Speaker 1: TV free with ads on Amazon, or buy the Shout
- 44:50Speaker 1: Select Blu ray for twenty two on Amazon, or you
- 44:52Speaker 1: can get it directly through their website. Movies that came
- 44:56Speaker 1: out around the same time. Going by the UK release,
- 44:59Speaker 1: we've got Dark sh Shadows, Moon Right's Kingdom, Pirana three,
- 45:03Speaker 1: Double D, Men in Black three, Prometheus, Madagascar three, Europe's
- 45:08Speaker 1: Most Wanted. It was a big year for Threes, Brave,
- 45:12Speaker 1: The Amazing Spider Man, and Ice Age, Continental Drift. Oh
- 45:16Speaker 1: and Ted.
- 45:17Speaker 2: I saw all of these except for Parana three D
- 45:22Speaker 2: I saw, though. I saw Continental Drift with you and
- 45:24Speaker 2: we both agreed it was bad.
- 45:26Speaker 1: Was that the bad one?
- 45:27Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 45:27Speaker 1: I can't remember. Oh, yeah, that was bad. Specific horror moments,
- 45:32Speaker 1: there's not a lot of them, and we watched it
- 45:34Speaker 1: a week ago, so I can't remember mine.
- 45:39Speaker 2: I wouldn't say okay, but like, okay. The thing is
- 45:43Speaker 2: that this is, yes, it's a horror in the sense,
- 45:45Speaker 2: but more the horrores happening to Simon Pegg or like
- 45:49Speaker 2: happening from his perspective. So it's not in this sense
- 45:52Speaker 2: like a scary movie. It's more like he's so fucking
- 45:57Speaker 2: scared that it's a horror movie. I like, if you
- 46:01Speaker 2: are not good with horror movies, this is a great
- 46:04Speaker 2: movie to watch.
- 46:04Speaker 1: It's great. Yeah if you don't, Yeah, what you said,
- 46:07Speaker 1: I'm not going to try and say that better. I
- 46:08Speaker 1: don't know why I was strong favorite kill. I don't.
- 46:10Speaker 1: I don't think there's any kills. Pretty sure there are
- 46:13Speaker 1: actually zero. Oh wait, no, technically there's one. Day, technically
- 46:17Speaker 1: there's one. But I don't think there's actually any kills
- 46:19Speaker 1: on screen. No. Oh, did I have a favor I
- 46:22Speaker 1: had a favorite line? Hold on, I had a favorite line?
- 46:24Speaker 3: Oh, yes you did, and it involves.
- 46:26Speaker 1: The one sea word? Where the fuck did I go?
- 46:31Speaker 2: I said it earlier a couple of times, and now
- 46:33Speaker 2: you're saying seaword?
- 46:35Speaker 1: Well, okay. In regards to talking about the Hedgehog Book,
- 46:40Speaker 1: he was writing, quote, he ruined my marriage, that prickly cunt.
- 46:45Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty good.
- 46:46Speaker 1: It was a great Would you agree that you were
- 46:49Speaker 1: that was was probably your favorite? Yeah? It was a
- 46:55Speaker 1: good one. Yeah. Favorite character. My favorite character was the
- 46:58Speaker 1: random cop that Jack keeps bumping into you throughout the film.
- 47:02Speaker 1: I thought that was hilarious because the entire like even
- 47:04Speaker 1: the entire movie, he just keeps bumping into this random
- 47:07Speaker 1: cop and he's like so suspicious of the cop and
- 47:10Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna, you know, like arrest or some shit.
- 47:12Speaker 1: It was just such a little funny interaction. So yeah.
- 47:16Speaker 2: Yeah, my favorite character was Jack.
- 47:20Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he is a He's a fucking looney tune
- 47:22Speaker 1: in this.
- 47:23Speaker 3: I didn't really have a least favorite character.
- 47:25Speaker 1: I didn't either. It was a very limited cast. I
- 47:26Speaker 1: mean it was like three people. Yeah, liked everyone, Yeah,
- 47:30Speaker 1: even the bad guy. I was like, I like you,
- 47:31Speaker 1: You're you're cool. Yeah. I guess maybe maybe his mom
- 47:36Speaker 1: I don't really like the mom kind of you know,
- 47:38Speaker 1: left him.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Well spoilers, we're gonna talk about it.
- 47:42Speaker 1: Okay, it's literally he mentions it pretty soon. Off, all right,
- 47:46Speaker 1: So then we got the IMDb summary right here. A
- 47:49Speaker 1: crime novelist whose research on Victorian serial killers has turned
- 47:53Speaker 1: him into a paranoid wreck must confront his worst fears
- 47:56Speaker 1: when a film executive takes a sudden interest in his
- 47:59Speaker 1: movie script. Boom bang go, oh you're ready for me?
- 48:03Speaker 1: Now I'm ready.
- 48:04Speaker 3: Okay.
- 48:06Speaker 2: So Jack is a writer, he used to be a
- 48:09Speaker 2: children's book writer. But it starts out with him discussing
- 48:12Speaker 2: how he's been really heavily into research of Victorian serial killers,
- 48:18Speaker 2: and he's gotten so deep into this research that it
- 48:21Speaker 2: is made him totally paranoid. He sees his demise everywhere,
- 48:28Speaker 2: literally everywhere. A gust of wind. This is it thinks
- 48:32Speaker 2: he's seeing people in his bed. He literally walks all
- 48:35Speaker 2: over his house with a knife. It's actually not going
- 48:40Speaker 2: to take that long to talk about this one, just
- 48:42Speaker 2: because so much of the time is like so much
- 48:44Speaker 2: of the beginning of the movie is him wandering around
- 48:47Speaker 2: thinking he's going to die. He kind of explains it
- 48:57Speaker 2: as when he's thinking out doing something, he can hear
- 49:02Speaker 2: the writing in his own head about like this is
- 49:05Speaker 2: how someone will write about me when I'm when I die,
- 49:08Speaker 2: Like the phone will ring and he goes to answer it,
- 49:11Speaker 2: and he will then he'll start writing out his own
- 49:13Speaker 2: death like.
- 49:14Speaker 3: He did not know.
- 49:16Speaker 2: What he didn't know was that this phone call would
- 49:20Speaker 2: set off a series of events that would lead to
- 49:22Speaker 2: his demise. And this is what he thinks every time
- 49:24Speaker 2: he tries to answer the phone. And he kind of
- 49:27Speaker 2: goes through describing different serial killers and how like they
- 49:33Speaker 2: act and how this has made him so paranoid, like
- 49:38Speaker 2: how he imagines these deaths is what's going to happen
- 49:41Speaker 2: to him. And he sees on TV that.
- 49:44Speaker 3: There is a.
- 49:47Speaker 2: There is a recent murder in the neighborhood near him,
- 49:49Speaker 2: and I can't remember who like which Asian gang that
- 49:55Speaker 2: he says is at fault for this, but it's someone
- 50:00Speaker 2: they're like, ah, yes, the calling card of this random
- 50:02Speaker 2: Asian gang is they cut off all your fingers and
- 50:05Speaker 2: it's you know, talking about it on the news.
- 50:07Speaker 3: Well, then he gets a call.
- 50:10Speaker 2: From his uh publicist who tells him that they have
- 50:14Speaker 2: to meet for lunch, which he hates. Like he's pretty
- 50:19Speaker 2: much become a total gooraphobic, Like he doesn't want to
- 50:21Speaker 2: leave the house, he doesn't want to go to your people,
- 50:24Speaker 2: and so like his wife has left him. At this point,
- 50:29Speaker 2: he's gotten so out of hand.
- 50:30Speaker 1: Uh.
- 50:31Speaker 3: So he's just by himself, living in filth.
- 50:34Speaker 1: The hedgehog ruined his marriage, you know.
- 50:36Speaker 2: Yeah, So he goes out to lunch, except he's like
- 50:42Speaker 2: struggling the whole way there, like everything is upsetting, everything
- 50:47Speaker 2: could be bad.
- 50:48Speaker 3: Uh, this could be the end for him.
- 50:50Speaker 2: He gets even when he gets into the restaurant, he's
- 50:53Speaker 2: talking to the may to d while he's waiting for
- 50:56Speaker 2: his publicist to come in, and she is uh or like,
- 51:01Speaker 2: well he's talking to him, he starts talking about uh
- 51:04Speaker 2: killer eyes is it murder eyes?
- 51:07Speaker 1: Yeah? You can tell because he's in his research. He
- 51:09Speaker 1: reads about how you can tell who a killer is
- 51:12Speaker 1: based on the their eyes, and they have a certain
- 51:14Speaker 1: stare that they after you've killed someone, you just yeah,
- 51:18Speaker 1: you have these killer eyes. And I think they when
- 51:20Speaker 1: he noticed them on someone, they kind of glowed like
- 51:22Speaker 1: a yellow Yeah, and he's just like, h, I know,
- 51:25Speaker 1: he gets all scared. Yeah, very Jack Sparrow esque, I
- 51:28Speaker 1: would say, with how he was very frightened.
- 51:30Speaker 2: Yeah, very jumpy, very skittish, very jumpy, and he ends
- 51:34Speaker 2: up scaring himself right out of his seat and knocking
- 51:37Speaker 2: a bunch of shit over as his publicist shows up.
- 51:41Speaker 2: And later, yeah, well he's supposed to be because you're
- 51:47Speaker 2: pretty much like some of this stuff, you're not even
- 51:49Speaker 2: sure if any of it's happening because you're seeing his fantasies.
- 51:52Speaker 2: And that was what was really cool about this is
- 51:54Speaker 2: it had this kind of storybook quality to it, and
- 51:58Speaker 2: also this like you're seeing things from both the real
- 52:02Speaker 2: perspective and his perspective, so you don't actually know what's
- 52:06Speaker 2: going on.
- 52:06Speaker 3: Is that person actually being.
- 52:08Speaker 2: Creepy or does he just think they're being creepy and
- 52:11Speaker 2: they're being totally normal?
- 52:12Speaker 1: Well, and that's yeah, that's what's really cool about this
- 52:15Speaker 1: is because typically there is a you know, there's you
- 52:18Speaker 1: slowly slip into the madness and it becomes crazier and crazier.
- 52:22Speaker 1: At this you're thrown into the madness at the beginning
- 52:24Speaker 1: and have no idea what's happening, and then it slowly
- 52:27Speaker 1: unravels itself and starts making more sense as it goes along.
- 52:30Speaker 1: So it's really interesting. It was a really interesting take on,
- 52:34Speaker 1: you know, a story progression, because to me, that was
- 52:37Speaker 1: like completely backwards because the whole time I'm like, what's happening.
- 52:39Speaker 1: I don't understand this, what's going on? And then by
- 52:41Speaker 1: the end of the movie you're like, oh, okay, that
- 52:44Speaker 1: was like that was really interesting. So I liked how
- 52:46Speaker 1: you're just thrown into his world of complete chaos and
- 52:48Speaker 1: you just have to be like, this is the world
- 52:50Speaker 1: we live in. I guess, yeah, very well done.
- 52:52Speaker 2: So he's talking to his publicist, and his publicist alludes
- 52:56Speaker 2: to the fact that he used to be a children's
- 52:58Speaker 2: book writer and he to write stories about a porcupine.
- 53:02Speaker 1: Wasn't it Harvey the Hedgehog or a hedgehog? I think
- 53:05Speaker 1: I think it was Harvey the Hedgehog.
- 53:07Speaker 3: One of those.
- 53:09Speaker 2: And he used to write children's book stories and he's
- 53:12Speaker 2: absolutely over and he wants nothing to do with it,
- 53:14Speaker 2: like they just make him angry, Like he just he
- 53:19Speaker 2: refuses because he wants to write his book, and she's
- 53:23Speaker 2: kind of like, well, I don't know who we're gonna
- 53:25Speaker 2: sell that to, but like, okay, you're working on it,
- 53:28Speaker 2: Like I'll see what I can do. We'll see if
- 53:30Speaker 2: we can put some feelers out of like who's gonna
- 53:33Speaker 2: want to buy the book?
- 53:34Speaker 3: Yeah, And.
- 53:37Speaker 2: But she basically gives him shit and tells him that
- 53:39Speaker 2: he needs to start writing the children's books again, which
- 53:42Speaker 2: he just does not want to do, and then he
- 53:46Speaker 2: goes home to continue being paranoid about things, which he
- 53:50Speaker 2: also gets startled at one point by a group of
- 53:52Speaker 2: children who are trying to sing Christmas carols because this
- 53:54Speaker 2: takes place during Christmas time.
- 53:56Speaker 3: Randomly. Yeah, it's a very u in a very vague
- 53:59Speaker 3: sort of very it's.
- 54:00Speaker 1: Just like Christmas is happening like in the background. Yeah,
- 54:03Speaker 1: very very subtly.
- 54:05Speaker 2: And in nowhere does this affect him except for these
- 54:07Speaker 2: kids singing Christmas carols, And he ends up scaring these
- 54:12Speaker 2: children because they're trying to raise money, and he tries
- 54:16Speaker 2: to give them money in a sock through the door,
- 54:21Speaker 2: like through the mail slot of the door to his
- 54:23Speaker 2: building because he refuses to come outside, probably because he
- 54:27Speaker 2: wasn't wearing pants.
- 54:29Speaker 1: He's underwear for like seventy five percent of this movie,
- 54:32Speaker 1: really old underwear, discussing dirty.
- 54:35Speaker 2: Dingh that weird, Like you know they're old because they're
- 54:38Speaker 2: kind of tan, Yeah all over You're like, why are
- 54:41Speaker 2: they tan?
- 54:41Speaker 1: You let your boxers get that bad? Or you're uh,
- 54:44Speaker 1: you know, you're tidy whities get that bad. It's time
- 54:46Speaker 1: for new underwear.
- 54:47Speaker 3: Yeah, which we'll get into in a minute.
- 54:51Speaker 2: So he tries to slip that, but someone keeps calling
- 54:55Speaker 2: him and it really, as we've discussed, it really freaks
- 54:58Speaker 2: him out when people call him on the phone, so
- 54:59Speaker 2: he starts screaming at his telephone to leave him alone,
- 55:03Speaker 2: except it sounds like he's screaming at these children.
- 55:07Speaker 3: So when they take the sock, he wants the sock back,
- 55:11Speaker 3: but he's scared the children, so they run off with
- 55:13Speaker 3: his sock.
- 55:15Speaker 1: Uh.
- 55:15Speaker 2: And then he goes to get on the phone and
- 55:17Speaker 2: his publicist is calling and she's got great news that
- 55:22Speaker 2: there's a guy he's from America. He wants he's very
- 55:26Speaker 2: interested in this book, really wants to look at it,
- 55:29Speaker 2: very interested in.
- 55:30Speaker 3: Buying the book.
- 55:31Speaker 1: And I thought it was a movie.
- 55:34Speaker 3: Script, buying the rights. I don't remember.
- 55:38Speaker 2: It's okay, movie script to make it into a movie.
- 55:43Speaker 3: And so.
- 55:47Speaker 2: This leads him into an entire spiral because somehow, Yeah,
- 55:55Speaker 2: because this guy has a name that's extremely similar to
- 55:59Speaker 2: the name of this other killer, this guy who was
- 56:02Speaker 2: a killer and used to kill people and dismember him them,
- 56:05Speaker 2: but he wasn't caught because he went overseas to America.
- 56:09Speaker 2: And we're talking like this guy doesn't have the same
- 56:11Speaker 2: last name they have. He has a middle name that's
- 56:14Speaker 2: the same as this guy's last name. Like it it's
- 56:17Speaker 2: like a it's highly unlikely they're related. This is such
- 56:21Speaker 2: a paper thin reasonable explanation.
- 56:24Speaker 1: You know, this vibe gave off what Charlie when he's
- 56:27Speaker 1: from a American horse right from always soun in Philadelphia,
- 56:30Speaker 1: when he's when him and Mack are working at that place,
- 56:32Speaker 1: and he's got the whole conspiracy theory thing on the board.
- 56:35Speaker 1: That's what it reminded me of. Because he's making all
- 56:37Speaker 1: these connections that make zero. Stanton you're like, huh huhu, buddy,
- 56:40Speaker 1: are you doing okay?
- 56:42Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 56:42Speaker 1: Yeah, so same vibe.
- 56:44Speaker 2: He starts going to this whole spiral about this, and
- 56:48Speaker 2: his publicist tells him that he's got to get there.
- 56:52Speaker 3: They get to this bar at.
- 56:53Speaker 2: Eight o'clock to talk to the guy and he's like
- 56:57Speaker 2: and she's like, make sure you dress nights. And he's like,
- 56:59Speaker 2: I don't have any clean suits. And she's like, we'll
- 57:02Speaker 2: wear a nice shirt. And he's like, I don't have
- 57:04Speaker 2: any clean.
- 57:05Speaker 3: Clothes and underwear and shirt. Yeah, so.
- 57:10Speaker 2: He has no clean clothes. He and she's like, all right, well,
- 57:13Speaker 2: then just go to the laundry mat, like, it's not hard,
- 57:17Speaker 2: just go get go wash your clothes. And this puts
- 57:20Speaker 2: him in a whole spiral. He is absolutely losing his mind,
- 57:26Speaker 2: and he gets so freaked out by this. He decides
- 57:32Speaker 2: he's going to figure out how to wash his clothes
- 57:35Speaker 2: in his sink and dry them in his oven. And
- 57:39Speaker 2: while he's running around doing this, and keep in mind,
- 57:41Speaker 2: he's still got his kitchen knife in his hand because
- 57:43Speaker 2: he takes it with him every everywhere. At one point,
- 57:47Speaker 2: he forgets it, runs and leaps across the hall to
- 57:51Speaker 2: grab it flips around like someone was waiting to stab him.
- 57:54Speaker 1: It's just the shot is so funny too, because it's
- 57:56Speaker 1: just the hallway with the two doors and you just
- 57:58Speaker 1: see him jump from one room to the other room
- 58:01Speaker 1: and grab his knife in defence, and it was fucking hilarious. Yes,
- 58:04Speaker 1: so funny.
- 58:05Speaker 2: After this, he he has this problem with this loose
- 58:08Speaker 2: window in his apartment that likes to slide open, which
- 58:11Speaker 2: is confusing, but like it blows the curtains and it
- 58:13Speaker 2: scares him, so he gets pissed, loses his mind, rips
- 58:16Speaker 2: open a bottle like stabs open a bottle of a
- 58:21Speaker 2: super glue, pours it all over the window, and then
- 58:24Speaker 2: starts running around trying to get all the other stuff done.
- 58:28Speaker 1: With the knife in his hand.
- 58:29Speaker 2: Still yeah, only to realize when he is going to
- 58:35Speaker 2: take a shower while his clothes are trying in the
- 58:37Speaker 2: oven that has a fire.
- 58:38Speaker 3: In the back of it.
- 58:39Speaker 1: Yeah, like a like literally fire is happening again.
- 58:42Speaker 2: He's drying his socks and his pants and his underwear
- 58:46Speaker 2: and his shirt in the oven.
- 58:48Speaker 3: Uh.
- 58:50Speaker 2: He realizes he is super glued a full kitchen knife
- 58:54Speaker 2: onto his hand, like all five fingers.
- 58:58Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's as wild scenario in a horror movie.
- 59:04Speaker 1: I've seen it at all. It's so ridiculous. You're like, oh, great,
- 59:07Speaker 1: now you have to go out in the public with
- 59:08Speaker 1: a super glueden knife on your hand.
- 59:10Speaker 3: Yes, So he doesn't know what the hell he's gonna do.
- 59:12Speaker 2: He tries to use what are cuticle cutters to pry
- 59:16Speaker 2: his hand a part ends up stabbing himself in the
- 59:18Speaker 2: hand with those. Yeah, he has a problem because this
- 59:22Speaker 2: is like an old, crappy building. So then the door's
- 59:24Speaker 2: creaking open for no reason, which it has done multiple
- 59:27Speaker 2: times before. He starts stabbing through his own shower curtain
- 59:31Speaker 2: and falls over and injures himself. I thought he'd stabbed
- 59:35Speaker 2: himself on which, yes, that was a fake out where
- 59:37Speaker 2: you think he is maybe stabbed himself, but you.
- 59:40Speaker 3: Know he's trying to get ready. He finally gets the
- 59:42Speaker 3: shower done, and he's like, what's that smell?
- 59:48Speaker 1: Cut too?
- 59:50Speaker 2: Him being blown back by his oven because he totally
- 59:54Speaker 2: let his clothes catch fire in there.
- 59:56Speaker 1: And there's something like he walks out into the hallway,
- 59:58Speaker 1: there's this a billowing smoke everywhere. Yeah and yeah, and
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: then he gets blown back and it's just like fire
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: in his face is a fucking hysterical holy shit.
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: So then he uh, he's like full spiral.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: He can't think, he's like just completely destroyed, does not
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: know what to do. And then we cut to a
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: child's birthday party that is pirate themed, which are like,
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: what the hell's happening? Well, the pirates uh themed birthday
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: party is actually the home of a therapist. We don't
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: really know if specifically this is his therapist or he
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: just found a therapist to call, because they don't really specify.
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: So he calls the therapist and the therapist and he's
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: like I can't move, I can't breathe, I can't do anything.
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: I don't know what to do.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: And the therapist is like, all right, well, usually when
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: something is affecting you this much, it's because something in
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: your past affected you so much.
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: That it's creating these other issues now.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: And they have this very cool thing where he's like
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: telling him to picture it closes up eyes and picture
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: being in his office and you know, just kind of
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: reflecting on his childhood and what's happened to him, and
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: they think in some way it has to do with
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: the fact that he was left as a child by
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: his mom when he was five.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: He was just abandoned.
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: Yep, you're gonna say where I'm gonna get that, Okay,
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: I just want to say it if you're gonna say it.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: And the therapist pretty much talks to him and he's like,
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: all right, if you want to get.
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: Through this, you have to go do your laundry.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: So he goes and puts on what clothes he has,
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: piles up his one shirt, two socks, and a pair
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: of underwear, and puts on a coat because he can't
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: get the knife off of his hand.
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: So and he has to go out. So he found finds.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: A coat with coat comically deep pockets, and pulls his
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: hood up and heads off to the laundromat.
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: Which is wildly far away from him. He goes to
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: like a really far away.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: Laundromat, so he, you know, cross his paths with a
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: lot of people.
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: Oh, I apologize, I should say that.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: After he scares those children, a cop does come to
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: ask him. It's not a cop, it's like community police.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: I can't remember.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: He's like he comes to check if everything's okay because
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: these kids were scared and thought maybe this man needed help.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: And he's like, no, I'm fine. He's like, also, super weird,
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: you're suspicious. He's just super suspicious of this guy because
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: the guy also tries to look through the mail slot
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: when Jack refuses to open the door.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Yeah, and he sees him in his underwe he's like,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: oh sorry.
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, so he uh bumps past that guy again.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: The community cops like, hey, you're doing okay. He's like, yay,
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: I am fine and fine and fine. He's like, all right,
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: well bye, off you go. Yeah, but you know, trying
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: to get to the laundry maat and he's still feeling
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: very paranoid. He's trying, he's like hyping himself up to
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: go to laundry, like aggressively, trying to just be like
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: I can do this, it's not a problem.
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: Gonna do it, Like, I gotta get to the laundry mat.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: He gets there and immediately starts by staring in the
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: window to see who how many people are in there,
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: what they're doing.
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: What they look like, I canna lay the land man
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: And it's.
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: Four women, one of whom is looking directly back through
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: the glass at him, and he's like and she's like,
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: why are you, Like, what are you doing? He's like, shit,
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: I'm not even in and I'm already fucking this up.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: So he finally just does it.
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: He goes in there and he starts to use the
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: washing machine, and he goes through like this whole thing,
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: like he is like he doesn't know what to do.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: There are so many buttons. They didn't used to have
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: so many buttons. The rules, he's reading the rules, yeah,
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: the instructions for how to do the laundry, and he
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: is like trying to figure this out. And he finally
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: gets his clothes in the wash and gets it star
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: and then he looks over and he kind of just
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: sits down and everyone's kind of just staring at him,
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: and he's like he's being really creepy. I mean, he's
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: a guy in a trench cart with a hood up,
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: super creepy.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: And he's got you know, like burns, Like I think
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: he has some burns on his face right, like like
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: there's like char marks on his face.
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: Uh no, oh no, but we'll get into that in
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: a minute. Oh okay.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: So he's like doing that and he's kind of watching
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: his laundry and just thinking to himself, like totally manic,
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: just thinking the whole time about his laundry and how
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: it gets done, and once his laundry gets done, he's
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: gonna get it over to the dry and once he
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: gets to the dryer done, he's just gonna be out
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: of here and he will have done it. And then
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: he notices the washing machine next to him is sudsy
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: and the inside and his isn't suddy, and he starts
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: to get upset and worked up, and he starts saying
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: to the other women, what's wrong with mine? Why is
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: mine different than yours? Why is your sudsy mind?
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: Why is yours white? And mind's clear?
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: Yeah, And then they explain to him that he geniusly
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: did not actually put soap in there, so it's not
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: gonna get clean. So one lady who's annoyed because they're
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: all annoyed he's being very creepy and strange.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: Goes and buys him soap, hands it to him. Well,
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: he starts to put it in and everyone's like, what
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: the hell are you doing? You have to wash it again.
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: Now, Like, I can't do it in the middle of
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: the cycle.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Yeah, it won't rents outright, you can't do it, And
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: so he gets very upset. He's panicking, like an insane
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: person about getting this done correctly.
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: And then in walks a pretty girl whose name is
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: what Agan san Jeet sun Jeep sun Jeet.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: And so he's trying not to look like a spas
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: in front of her. Uh.
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: He finally gets his clothes out of the washer, gets.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: Them over to the dryer, where the lady next to
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: him is being very weird and protective of her own laundry.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: She's like staring at him like a weirdo. What's wrong
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: with him? He didn't He's just trying to do his laundry.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: I know he's a weirdo, Like, just let him, let
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: him be.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Yeah, he's also staring at her stuff to assess how
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: she's buying her clothes, so he knows how to dry
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: his clothes. It's a hot mess and he's watching what's happening.
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: Well, then he sorry, I breath.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: He starts to think he has to take his stuff
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: out a piece at a time like she's done. He
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: tries to take the piece out and uh, oh no,
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: you know what, I take that back. He is sitting
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: against a wall and looking in a mirror, and suddenly
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: he realizes the reason everyone's been staring at him.
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: Like he's insane? Is it?
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: Because when he opened the oven, he burned off all
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: the hair on one side of his head, so he
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: looks like a crazy burn victim out of nowhere. He
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: just looks like he got blasted in the face, and
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: he looks deranged all of a sudden, and he doesn't realize,
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: which is brilliant though for this movie, because they you
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: don't even realize till this happens that you have not
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: seen him from that side for the whole, like last
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: fifteen minutes. They've done a fantastic job of hiding this.
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: So he realizes he looks insane. He doesn't want a
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: little crazy in front of the pretty girl, except when
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: he goes to try to take out his clothes. He
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: tries to take out his underwear, which then snap back
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: over his head, fly across the air, and he tries
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: to pretend.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: Like he didn't do that.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: He's like, nope, those are gone forever, except the pretty
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: girl walks over and says like, like are these And
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: he tries to deny it, and then she is like,
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: but they've got like your name on him, and and
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: he's like, fine, fine, these are mine, and then he
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: accidentally takes out the hand with the knife in.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: It, and then this is when all because it's.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: Only women in therese the shit. They start to lose
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: their mind because they think he's trying to attack them,
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: but he's such a spass he just keeps going, No.
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: It's fine, I'm a writer.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: He's like, that's not that's not a great explanation. So
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: they all panic, run out of the laundromat, run back in,
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: or like he tries to run out with them, uh,
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: to explain, but they lock him in and won't let
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: him out until the police arrive, where they take a
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: total cops approach.
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: To it, like they've got a cameraman.
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: They are using excessive force on this guy, like it
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: is outrageous and.
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: Should Yeah, I was gonna leave it there in a second.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: So like they are trying to arrest him there he
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: is trying to explain what's going on, and it's just
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: like it it starts to go like totally crazy from
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: there because you're just like, uh, this guy is absolutely
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: insane until you realize maybe he's not so paranoid, and
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: it's it's.
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: Like a fun movie. You don't even know the directions.
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: It's gonna go it's really amusing.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: Yeah, and once he get on, we'll just stop it
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: with one season. The back. I think he's in the
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: back of an ambulance. Yeah, yeah, because what happens from
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: there on is just absolute.
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: It's bonkers because you're like, oh, okay, that was weird.
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: But then you don't see where the movie's going.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: No, you don't it. Uh, it's it's I I'd consider
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: it a hidden little gem. Uh.
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: I agree. I think it's underrated.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: I think it's very underrated. I think it's a lot
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: of fun. It's wild, it's wacky, it's it's absolutely hysterical too.
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: We were like scream laughing. It was so funny.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: Yeah, because we didn't know what he was doing most
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: of the time because he was so mannic and all
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: over the place.
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: But then you're like, you.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Know, he's doing such a like Simon Pegg killed a performance.
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: So you're still enjoying it because you're following.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: Along with him.
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, and like you're, like I said, you're thrown
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: into this world of like I don't know what's happening,
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: and by the end of it all makes sense and
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: every like there's some good character arcs and you know everything.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: Everything just it works out. You know. It's very good. Yeah,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: very good movie. I really I really quite enjoyed it,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: and I'm glad I own it on on Blu Ray.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: What did you did you rate it?
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: No, but to give like a four oh four?
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I gave it three three, five. Yeah, got
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: a two point nine on letter Box and then it
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: has a five point eight on the IMDb's so pretty
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: solid rating, you know, kind of like it could be
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: a little higher.
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: I feel like it should be a little higher.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Yeah, It's It's funny because like two point nine's are
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: like they can literally go either way for me, because
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: I can. It's anywhere from like a two to a
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: four just depends. So like the ones that are rated
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: two point nine are typically ones that I feel are underrated,
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: you know, they I feel like they deserve a little
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: bit more, especially because it's Simon peg two and he
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: does a fantastic job.
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: It's great at comedy.
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: He's so good, like he does nanic and serious and
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: like determined. He does like such a great range, and
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: it all reads really well with.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: Him, really really really well. Yeah, I really think he
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: did a great job in this. I'm just I'm also
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: surprised that they got him for this movie because it
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: was until you and it's ten years old. I had
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: not even heard of this until you brought it up,
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: and I was like, Simon peg in a horror comedy
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: that's not Shot of the Dead, what like, Yeah, everyone
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: in this was great. It feels very contained because it's
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: you know, it's contained a pretty much a laundromat and
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: his house and some various street scenes. So yeah, it's
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: a very contained movie. It's very fun, and I didn't
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: find any part of it to be dragging or slow,
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: especially for an hour and you know, forty minutes. Like
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: typically those movies, you know, they can have parts where
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: they're slow, but this I felt just was moving the
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: whole time. It was. It was a lot of fun.
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: Yeah, when you also get to enjoy his inner monologue,
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: so you're just like.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: All aboard for real. So uh, I didn't know. I
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: didn't check if there was a mitter post credit scene,
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: so I can't tell you about that. There was taglines
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: We've got Jack's a writer with a dark secret, but
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: now his demons are taking over unless one man finds
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: the courage to fight back. Trivia. I found one thing
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: because there wasn't a lot. This was the first film
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: backed by Pinewood Studios initiative to support low budget British filmmaking.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: Oh There's Two Sorry. As a chance to get under
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: the skin of an adult feeling trapped by his life choices,
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: Simon Pegg and director of Crispin Mills took their children
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: to a concert by the Australian children's group The Wiggles.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: They were struck by how in how the enrapture Jesus.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: They were struck by how enrapture the children were by
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: their performers, and couldn't wonder help wonder what the men
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: playing the Wiggles must actually feel like from a creative
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: empowerment point of view, as the opportunities do anything else,
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: to do anything else must be severely limited for them. Yeah,
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: and then there's one goop I found funny. It was
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: during the restaurant scene the African American man sitting behind
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Jack disappears and reappears as as the shot changes, So
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: a little continuity there for you. But yeah, I recommend
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: this movie. It is. It is a good time if
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: you want to laugh and not be grossed out by
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: any gore or any jump scares. There are some spooky elements,
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: you know.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: Like one quasi jump scares, but it's not like something
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: jumps out at you.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: It's just more like, oh yeah, and again you can
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: you can stream this on Stars, which we have through Hulu,
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: shot Factory TV free with ads on Amazon, or you
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: can buy the Blu ray from Amazon or directly through
