#319: Bring It On: Cheer or Die (2022) · What's Your (Least) Favorite Scary Movie?

0:06
Hello. What's your least favorite scary
0:08
movie? Bring it on.
0:11
Welcome to What's Your Least Favorite Scary Movie?
0:13
The podcast where we talk about the good, the bad, the ugly and
0:16
the absurd and all of our favorite.
0:17
Family's favorite scary movie because we believe every horror
0:20
movie rightfully has this fan base.
0:21
Even if we don't always get it. My name is Tres.
0:25
My name is Jesse, and guess what?
0:29
It's my birthday week. Yeah, I got to pick a movie,
0:32
very Jessie movie, and bring it on.
0:36
Cheer or Die is a very Jessie movie.
0:39
And for anybody new out there, birthday movies, Yes, we get to
0:43
pick a movie every month, but birthday movies are special.
0:46
It's a little special. You do something a little bit
0:48
different to make it a more of an occasion.
0:50
And this is definitely a Jessie movie if there ever was 1.
0:54
Yes, it is a sci-fi original and it is the 7th installment of the
1:00
Bring It On franchise, which I will argue is generally not that
1:04
great a franchise in terms of like if you want to be like a
1:08
film snob, no, but it's great in terms of I like to have fun with
1:12
silly, dumb movies. Yeah, which is the camp that
1:14
we're in. Yes, as people, absolutely,
1:17
absolutely. So that's why we're talking
1:18
about this this week. I don't have any other
1:21
announcements. You didn't do a poll did.
1:23
You did not do a poll. No.
1:24
God damn it. I'm so sorry guys.
1:26
Travis is the worst. I am the worst.
1:28
So that's that's out there already.
1:30
We're already we're already there.
1:32
So I guess that just means that we move on into our episode
1:37
cover trip. I guess so.
1:38
Yeah, I guess so. So bring it on.
1:40
Cheer Die premiered on September 27th, 2022.
1:45
We actually have it on DVD. I found it the same place where
1:48
I have found our entire Bring It On collection up until now.
1:52
We're missing just one worldwide cheer Smack.
1:54
Is that really. That's the world I'm missing?
1:56
Yeah, I. Didn't realize we had that.
1:57
Many. I found all six others at Half
2:00
Price Books, one at a time. Well, actually the first three
2:04
were in a triple pack. Yeah, but I mean, it's still
2:06
like counts like I, I, I'm impressed that we have that
2:09
many. Yep, so and Travis has been
2:12
working his way through them, but we we had to do this.
2:15
This month, this week. Well, we watched this one a long
2:17
time ago. Yeah, it's God.
2:20
I can't even remember when we watched it.
2:21
When we found out that there was a horror movie Bring It On or a
2:24
horror bring It On movie. We watched it immediately.
2:27
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
2:28
And I don't know why people were so disparaging to it because
2:31
it's fun. But we'll get to those thoughts
2:32
on it in a minute, OK? It was written by Rebecca
2:36
Mckendry and Dana Schwartz, with the story by Alison Faust.
2:40
Directed by Karen Lamb, Music by Patrick Card, Caird Card.
2:46
I'm not sure how exactly to pronounce it.
2:48
It's CAIRD and special effects makeup by Aaron Merck, Starring
2:53
Carrie Meadows as Abby Singer, Alton Wilmett as Mateo Adamos,
2:58
Sierra Holder as Jackie Braun, Alexandra Beaton as Regan
3:03
Winters, Marlo Zimmerman as Paige Simmons, McKenna
3:07
Zimmerman's as Evie Simmons, and Missy Pyle is Principal Simmons.
3:13
Sauna time for Taya. Yeah, that's an alarm that.
3:15
We can, I'm not. I'm not trying to reread all of
3:18
those names again cuz I've already done it like 3 times.
3:21
It's OK, somebody outside decided to room up their truck.
3:23
Real. Loud.
3:24
Yeah, too. So we're just.
3:25
Getting it everybody the the years is like extra sound in
3:28
this part here. Sunday morning special.
3:32
OK, Travis, it's time for our favorite game.
3:34
Budget or back, Ted? Do you have a number?
3:40
I got shit. OK, 'cause like, I don't, I
3:43
didn't expect it, but I think it's pretty clear that this is a
3:46
bug, Ted. Yeah.
3:48
I mean, generally if we don't have the numbers, that means
3:50
it's pretty low budget. Generally if it's produced by
3:52
sci-fi, it's going to be a bug. Ted.
3:55
Unfortunately, I can tell you that the rating on IMDb is 3.7
3:59
out of 10. Well, 3.7 I mean, I'm not
4:04
shocked. I'm not shocked, but I also
4:07
don't think this deserves that low of a rating.
4:09
Yeah, that's pretty harsh, I think.
4:11
Yeah, yeah. I think it's.
4:12
A three, I think it's. The same camp of people who
4:14
don't like the Puniverse cinematic horror universe, Like
4:18
they're like, why are you taking this non horror thing and making
4:21
it into horror needlessly? Yeah.
4:23
I guess yes, I'm along the lines of that.
4:25
Unfortunately that's not my theme for other 2022 movies.
4:29
We've we had a break from 2022 for a while. 2022 was a banger
4:33
year. All of these movies we have
4:35
talked about. OK, cool.
4:37
But I did notice kind of a connecting theme to them, which
4:40
is why the fuck are we in an empty abandoned building?
4:43
Who's that for? Why are we here?
4:46
Well, I think that's kind of interesting 'cause this is
4:49
definitely movies that were done during COVID, which that kind of
4:52
makes sense logistically why we had a bunch of those in 2022.
4:56
Absolutely. That was a big part of their
4:58
filming was that they could do their plans.
5:01
COVID following protocol. COVID protocols.
5:04
Yeah, I got the first movie smile.
5:07
Yeah, what's a big room? And smile.
5:11
Her family house well that her and her sister are fighting
5:15
about. That's right.
5:16
The big old abandoned house. That's right.
5:18
Yep, Yep. That released September 30th,
5:21
2022. Budget of 17,000,000, a
5:23
worldwide gross of 217 million. IMDb score 6.5 out of 10.
5:29
Love that movie. Yeah, fantastic movie.
5:32
Second movie. Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
5:36
Oh boy. Cuz that that whole town's
5:38
abandoned except for Leatherface and the Queen of Aldovia.
5:43
Yeah, and also a garage. And a garage.
5:45
Guy that likes his. Guns the Handyman.
5:47
Yeah he is. He is a country song.
5:49
Yeah, he is. That released February 18th,
5:55
2022. Budget of 20 million.
5:58
I don't have a gross because it was a Netflix movie.
6:00
It has a 4.7 out of 10. Talked about that one real
6:03
recently. And then the third movie is
6:05
Barbarian. Big old empty space in the
6:09
bottom. Yeah, in the basement and then
6:11
eventually they like go down to like an empty like greenery
6:15
maybe. Yeah, something like that.
6:17
Go watch it and find out. That's a fantastic.
6:20
Movie Barbarian is such a good movie.
6:22
It released September 9th, 2022. A budget of 4.5 million, a
6:26
worldwide gross of 46 million and a 7.0 out of 10 on IMDb.
6:30
Nice, I love it. Now it's time to talk about tag
6:33
lines. OK, do we have multiple?
6:36
We have the opposite of multiple.
6:38
We have zero. We have zero.
6:41
I know. How do you not need to like even
6:42
do a single tag line for this? I don't care if it went straight
6:45
to TV, like it still deserves A tag line.
6:46
We have a DVD of it. Like you got to put something on
6:49
the DVD. I don't think they put anything.
6:52
They didn't. They didn't.
6:53
It's a very bare bones DVD. It doesn't even have any special
6:56
features. No special features.
6:58
It is also super impatient. Like I like I put the disk in
7:02
and I just kind of like walked around the house.
7:05
So I get shit together to so we can take notes and then the
7:07
movie is like, OK, we're playing.
7:09
OK, yeah, like we're done. Yeah, it just, if you were
7:12
watching this on cable, shit out of luck right now.
7:15
Yeah, I hate when DVDs do that. They rush you like it's a menu.
7:18
Just stay chill. It's all I need.
7:20
I need like I need time. OK, yeah, despite all of that,
7:24
despite the lack of budget, the lack of tag lines, the lack of
7:27
DVD menu options, I was able to get some information between the
7:31
Wikipedia and an interview with Karen Lamb for scifi.com.
7:35
Cool. All right.
7:36
I have a little bit of background who.
7:38
Is Karen Lamb again? The director OK, so this is
7:41
filmed to Winnipeg, Canada. And I mean, you could tell with
7:45
some of the actresses, yeah, yeah.
7:47
And it was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which feels
7:51
kind of nebulous, like when are we calling the end of it?
7:54
But they were very much following COVID protocols, like
7:57
in terms of like, bubbling. And we saw at the end of the
8:00
movie, as the credits are going, it shows them practicing the
8:03
choreography and they're all in masks.
8:05
So it's very much in that frame of.
8:09
Definitely not 6 feet apart. Yeah, yeah.
8:13
I mean it felt very much like the bubble years of DCC making
8:18
the team. I mean, just like, Oh yeah, all
8:20
major sports stuff like that too, yeah.
8:22
So Karen Lamb actually didn't know that much about
8:25
cheerleading when she was offered the possibility to
8:28
direct this. So she went online and she did a
8:30
lot of research. And she said she wanted to do
8:32
research into modern cheerleading because she knows
8:35
that it has evolved and she learned just how insanely
8:38
athletic this is. It really is a sport and she
8:41
wanted to kind of do justice by cheerleading as an athletic
8:47
event and as of the training and everything that they go through.
8:51
So I thought that was really cool.
8:52
Yeah, I think it's that was one of the things I noted about this
8:55
movie. You like some of the characters
8:56
don't consider it a sport or consider it any of them
8:59
athletes. And I just thought that that was
9:02
like, that's just. It's so wrong it's not true.
9:05
Yeah, I don't know how you can do the things that they do and
9:08
not be athletic. Like honestly, you have to do as
9:11
much conditioning as the football team does, but then you
9:13
have to apply it to these specific sets of acrobatics and
9:17
dance moves and everything, and you have to have precision and
9:20
you have to be in tune with your teammates.
9:22
Yeah, it's intense. It's really intense.
9:25
This was going to be PG13 because it was on sci-fi, so she
9:28
knew that she wasn't going to be able to utilize blood and gore
9:32
the same way you do in a lot of horror movies.
9:34
Gotta be creative and the way that a movie like this is just
9:36
begging for to elevate it. Yeah, you can be creative with
9:40
it. They're like Chucky.
9:41
Chucky was a sci-fi show and they did pretty well.
9:43
They did. So that's why instead she
9:46
decided to focus on some of the the relationships and how
9:49
important team loyalty is, especially with spoiler for the
9:51
end, like where you discover that it's one of the team mates
9:55
is the bad guy. So like they're supposed to hit
9:57
that deeper blow. They used a choreographer named
10:00
Tony Gonzalez, who has been a choreographer with the entire
10:04
Bring It On franchise. Oh, wow.
10:06
Yeah, the entire franchise. I and I went to his IMDb because
10:10
I was like, I want to double check that this is like, you
10:13
know, I'm doing my due diligence and Fact Check and I found out
10:16
that he's actually done like a lot of like a fuck ton of
10:20
choreography. If you're listening to this, you
10:23
have seen his choreography. So if there's been dancing in
10:26
film, he's done like he. He creates, it seems like that
10:28
he's done a lot of music videos, but there were a couple of
10:32
things that I specifically wanted to pull out for you.
10:34
OK. He did choreography in Little
10:37
Fockers. Who danced in a little?
10:40
I don't because you never want to watch that one.
10:44
It's not great. I have maybe watched it one time
10:46
in my entire life so I don't remember anything from it all.
10:49
Right. Like, listen, if you make Barbra
10:50
Streisand that uncomfortable, I'm also going to be that
10:53
uncomfortable. What?
10:54
Happened to Barbra Streisand. Do you not remember the movie?
10:57
No, I just said I don't remember anything from the movie.
11:00
I don't even know if I've actually watched it to be
11:02
completely honest. Anyway, he's a choreographer on
11:05
that. OK.
11:06
And then he did 2 episodes of The Office.
11:09
Would you like to guess? I'm going to say season 7
11:13
episode 1 where they do the opening where they're all
11:15
dancing throughout The Office. No, I'm going to say God, what
11:22
episodes have a lot of dancing? Is it silly stuff or is it like
11:27
actual dance routines? Is it actual dance routines?
11:31
Just tell me. He did the Niagara episode but
11:35
where Jim and Pam get married. OK.
11:37
And he did. Scott's Tots.
11:40
OK, that one, that one has. What you gonna do?
11:43
That one has like the funniest thing about these types of
11:47
movies is like I got noticed this too.
11:50
Like we watch a lot of cheesy movies and we watch this one
11:53
Christmas movie Christmas with you and whenever like she's
11:58
getting her like friends together, the dance for her
12:00
quinceanera. They all get so into it, like
12:05
seeing backup dancers in movies and they're all like animated
12:08
and smiling so big all the time. You can tell.
12:09
It's just like, I know that that's big for their whole
12:12
thing, but it's always, it always stands out so much.
12:14
Like that's not people. Like that's like that's, that's
12:17
like a dancer. Those are people that are having
12:19
fun learning choreography. You're no longer you're no
12:21
longer a person if you're doing that.
12:23
You're just a choreographer. You lose like your identity as a
12:25
person. I would disagree with that.
12:29
Just how it appears in film, like if people are just like
12:32
casually dancing and then they break out into that right there,
12:34
it just doesn't seem realistic to me.
12:36
Yeah, if you're a person that's like background and you're there
12:39
because you are able to pick up choreography, you're obviously
12:42
going to have a different performance element with that
12:44
because the background characters honestly a lot of
12:48
times don't get much personality.
12:49
No. So no.
12:50
It's fine. And then I finally have one.
12:55
One more fun fact. This was not a sound stage.
12:57
It was shot in an actual abandoned school.
13:00
Wow. And they did.
13:01
It was about four weeks of shooting and three of those were
13:03
night shoots. So it also really helped with
13:06
like following COVID protocols and everything.
13:08
Oh. Cool.
13:08
Yeah. Huh.
13:10
So, man, well, I guess that kind of like really helped with their
13:14
whole set. Yeah.
13:15
You know, like they didn't really have to do a lot of set
13:16
design or anything like that. And you know, when I was sitting
13:19
there getting all this information, I was like, is that
13:21
part of the reason 2022 was so good is because everybody was
13:25
trapped in their house going kind of stir crazy and starting
13:30
to just think up wildly different?
13:33
We talked about this when we did our sock coverage, how that
13:36
movie started because the team knew that they needed something
13:42
lower budget. So a single location is a good
13:45
way to do that. I wonder if that's part of the
13:49
reason 2022 is just such a fucking banger year.
13:53
I feel like it definitely is like that was a year that like a
13:55
lot of people like that had to get super creative, yes, with
13:58
how to do these things. So and that, I mean sometimes it
14:02
causes things to not turn on as good as it could be, but like if
14:06
people are able to push through that like it usually makes a
14:08
better product. Yeah, if you can really hone
14:10
your creativity with it, it can be like, what is it host?
14:15
Yeah, host. That that one super effective as
14:18
a horror movie and it only being 40 minutes because that's how
14:21
long you get on the free zoom. Yeah, and you know that's real
14:25
after. The last.
14:26
Episode With our new Fierce Eve episode, we had to cut off our
14:29
interview after 40 minutes. OK, yeah, that's it for my fun
14:33
facts. All right, So cool.
14:35
I'm glad that you got stuff. Then yes.
14:37
And so now we get to talk about it.
14:38
All right, cool. All right, I'll kick it off and
14:40
I'll talk about what I thought was good about it.
14:42
Believe it or not, I have watched these movies pretty much
14:45
since they've been out cuz my sister growing up was into them
14:49
and then I actually enjoyed them whenever she would put them on.
14:53
Like I watched the VHS of the first one.
14:54
I don't know how many times growing up, but having that
14:59
background and like experience with this franchise, I thought
15:01
that it was really fun to turn this into a horror movie.
15:05
I think it's, it's one that you can make that transition pretty
15:08
seamlessly and it like you're able to tell a different story
15:14
with it, but a similar story, like a same story.
15:18
But like, I always like when like people take these
15:23
properties or these things that aren't supposed to be scary and
15:26
then they make them scary. Because it's taking those
15:28
things, those common things, those things that we're familiar
15:31
with and comfortable with, and adding that scare element to it.
15:35
Yeah, exactly. And this movie, I thought did a
15:37
pretty good job with that. It was all seamless.
15:40
I like how they made it. The mascot, that's the killer.
15:43
That mascot was actually really creepily designed.
15:49
I mean, I did not recognize that it was meant to be a devil.
15:52
No. I thought it was.
15:54
I thought it was creepy the way it was.
15:55
I was going to get into that in my bad actually.
15:57
So I'll, I'll share some more thoughts on that here in a
15:59
little bit. OK, yeah, I, I like that they
16:01
made this a Swasher movie. I mean, they could have gone
16:04
really any genre with it. They could have even gone
16:05
supernatural if they wanted to. But like, I like that they went
16:08
with Swasher because it's keeping it grounded and I
16:12
thought that they had some pretty inventive kills with
16:14
this. I like the one, especially with
16:16
like the pressure thing. That was that's one of my top
16:19
notes under my gig is the blood pressure cuff kill.
16:22
Yeah, that was a creative kill right there.
16:24
It's just like using whatever was available at the the school
16:26
nurse. And Travis can tell you because
16:28
I've been going to the doctor a lot recently.
16:31
And this is how for the first time in 14 years of us being
16:36
together that he has, because he's been coming to the doctor
16:39
with me. This is how he has finally
16:40
learned that I'm actually low key really afraid of blood
16:44
pressure cuffs. Yeah, they, they freak me out.
16:47
I. Used to play with those for fun
16:49
at Walmart. I would go to the machine and
16:51
just stick my arm in there and be.
16:52
Like it's like an it's an element of claustrophobia for
16:55
me. I can understand.
16:56
That, yeah. And another thing I really like
16:59
about this is that it was very self aware and it like they did
17:04
the thing where they like say the name of the movie and if
17:07
they bring it on they say cheer or die like, you know, stuff
17:10
like that. They like called out like
17:13
horror. Like they're like making
17:14
comments about this basically being like what would be going
17:17
on in a horror movie. Yes, I just like that I like
17:21
that it didn't take itself super seriously.
17:23
Yes, and I think they also did several, like little winks and
17:27
nods to other horror movies, which I thought was great.
17:29
Like we had a moment where they're pulling out a seat, like
17:33
joking around because they're all Gen. alpha maybe at this
17:36
point. Gen.
17:37
Z probably. I don't know where it's.
17:40
Alpha is like our nieces and nephews.
17:43
Okay, yeah, so Gen. Z then and they're joking around
17:45
about not knowing what a boom box is and then there's like a
17:48
flash of light on the CD and one of those pry light probably they
17:52
reference Saw. And then their big competitive
17:55
team is Green Knight, which that was a movie that came.
17:57
Out 24 movie. 24 so and I'm sure there were several more, but
18:01
those are the ones that I was scribbling down in the margins
18:03
of my notes. Yeah, yeah, that's for my goods
18:05
pretty much. But it's a good time.
18:09
Obviously I agree with all of those with you.
18:11
I also think it it keeps the spirit of the Bring It On
18:14
franchise. Like I said, they're not
18:16
objectively good movies, but they're a fun fucking time.
18:19
I'd argue the first one is objectively.
18:21
Good. Well, the first one, yes, yeah,
18:22
but it and it's and I don't mean objectively good and that it's
18:28
like silly about cheerleading stuff.
18:30
I I just mean in that like they're goofy and don't take
18:33
themselves too seriously. They're very low budget, low in
18:37
production, like they're straight to DVD stuff, which
18:41
that's what I mean, they're like straight to DVD isn't always bad
18:44
movies, but they're not always the best made, the best quality
18:48
product. Yes, and I think what's
18:50
unfortunate about that, and this kind of ties into some of my
18:53
like ugly later is like when you see like misogyny tied to these
18:57
types of things, especially like this is women's predominant
19:01
sport and it's not treated as sport.
19:05
And I think the same thing tends to happen with like movies that
19:11
are typically geared towards women and especially young
19:15
women. So I'm not saying it from that
19:18
aspect. I'm saying it from like what you
19:19
were saying. They're low budget, they're
19:21
cheesy, they're a lot of fucking fun.
19:24
Those are types of movies that I love.
19:26
And the fact that they did this, kept that spirit and kept it,
19:30
and also made it the spirit of a cheesy little budget horror
19:33
movie, really great for me. And I, I wish I'd had some idea
19:37
of the budget because I was surprised at some of the music
19:40
that they they were able to include.
19:42
Yeah. What were the standouts?
19:44
There was the one, I can't remember who it is, but it's at
19:49
the beginning when the green nights are going and it's from
19:51
the rooftop, shouted out. Yeah, there were.
19:55
And then there's Demi Lovato near the climax of the movie.
19:58
Like, yeah, yeah, they had a decent, decent song budget,
20:02
music budget. This is pretty impressive, yeah,
20:04
to think about that. Yeah.
20:06
And like we had we had an actual mystery going on with all of it.
20:09
I just, I think it was a fun time.
20:11
And like we've only watched it a couple of times.
20:14
And so the whole time I was like, how are they going to
20:16
split everybody up in a way that ends up making sense and isn't
20:19
just like cliche, cheap horror writing?
20:23
And I think they they did mostly an OK job with it.
20:26
There were some parts that could have been better.
20:27
They kind of leaned into it. They kind of call out the fact
20:30
that they're what they're doing is a cliche horror move.
20:32
You know, and then. That was their approach with it.
20:36
Yeah, so I I think it's like, and it's a movie that it doesn't
20:41
feel like it's dragging itself out too much.
20:43
No, not really. We get to things pretty quickly.
20:45
So. Yeah.
20:46
All right. What is your bad?
20:49
Well, OK, so the mask I was talking about, I just, I didn't
20:52
think that the design was that great for it.
20:54
I think the mask really took me out of it.
20:57
I think that if you were to do something like that, like I, I
21:01
don't know, there's supposed to be, it's supposed to be a devil,
21:03
but it's like a big teddy bear. I like that it's different
21:06
though, like, you know, comparing it to other movies
21:11
where we see like, it's just a shiny plastic mask that goes
21:14
over top. Think about like Scream Queens.
21:16
They're the Red Devils. Happy Death Day with the plastic
21:22
baby mask. Yeah.
21:23
Like I, I think that I appreciate that this did like,
21:27
more of a furry mascot suit because that's a little bit more
21:30
realistic. The only other time we really
21:32
see that is probably in Freaky and the mascot isn't utilize as
21:38
much. True, but one of my biggest
21:40
problems with it is the mask itself, which is just like.
21:45
It's not a mask though, it is a headpiece that goes along with a
21:49
full mascot like costume. Fine, let me rephrase the face
21:53
itself. The face was a it's an issue for
21:56
me. It's like, I don't know, like I
21:57
just, I thought the design was a little week, OK, for my tastes.
22:02
OK. Another thing is I I think that
22:05
they could have went harder into either the goofiness or the
22:08
scariness of the movie. I feel like they kind of like
22:12
it's like a seesaw, like it's like a little teeter totter
22:15
where they were trying to balance both.
22:18
But like I, I feel like if you're going to try and be
22:20
scary, be scary. If you're going to try and be
22:21
goofy, be goofy. But like, I don't feel like we
22:25
got enough of each of those for what they did.
22:28
They kind of like did a little bit of this one and then thought
22:31
that they needed to like, you know, now we did a little scary.
22:34
Let's do a little goofy, like go harder with it, OK.
22:37
I don't know, like it just like, because there were times where
22:42
it tried to be really, really silly, like Scott's friend.
22:47
Yeah, Danny I think is his name. Yeah, like they were really
22:50
trying to make him like this really comedic character.
22:53
And it's just like, man, some of that dialogue was a little
22:57
cringy for me. OK, It's just, yeah, that's most
23:02
of my bad stuff right there. I guess mine probably more than
23:06
anything is that it? It felt like they were trying to
23:11
give the characters depth and background, but because of the
23:14
nature of the type of movie that this is, it felt a lot more tell
23:18
don't show. Yeah.
23:20
Like we, we were getting a lot of that information when we
23:23
could have had it more. Like we keep going back to
23:27
what's her name, Tori being a virgin, but she actually like
23:31
the things she says are far more like sex positive.
23:36
So that was a little bit confusing.
23:40
We're told what Abby's relationship is with both Evan
23:45
and Scott, but the way it plays out on screen is just kind of
23:50
confusing and takes away the stakes of that.
23:53
I feel like Evan was a super bad red herring too.
23:55
Yeah. That's his entire purpose as a
23:58
character in this movie is to be like, is he a killer?
24:00
Well, and also it's just it's so Scott, I can I understand like
24:04
some mixed feelings because he cheated on her, but she still
24:08
probably isn't over the breakup and he definitely isn't.
24:11
That all makes sense. But when they're trying to say
24:13
that, like, oh, give Evan a shot and she's like, well, we've been
24:15
friends since kindergarten. And then every time he speaks to
24:18
her, he is fucking aggressive. And it's like, maybe Abby is
24:23
just young and doesn't realize that she doesn't have to put up
24:26
with mean men's bullshit. But it's also just 'cause it's
24:31
like, you want us to have stakes in these character
24:35
relationships, but all that ends up happening is like, I'm not
24:39
upset when Evan ends up being dead.
24:42
I think they just suffered with this character, especially by
24:46
they they couldn't have any room for any like anything not
24:52
conflict with him and Abby. Like they had that, like all of
24:55
their interactions had to be like, intense to like, maybe
24:58
label him as a killer. But The thing is if it showed
25:01
him as an actual supportive friend instead of like this
25:04
jealous quote UN quote friend zoned in cell like it would have
25:10
much more stakes with him showing up at the school and
25:12
being there potentially being aligned with the killers it
25:17
would have more stakes to it. I think they tried that.
25:19
I think that that's what they were trying to do whenever he
25:21
had that moment with her where she called him creepy and he
25:24
said that she was living out her moms dreams.
25:27
And then they both apologized to each other and they had a
25:29
somewhat normal conversation after that.
25:32
But like it just I really whenever you chalk it up to
25:35
anything, I think it was just bad writing in that instance.
25:38
OK, yeah, what is your ugly? Man, I don't know.
25:42
I didn't write anything down for my ugly because I had a hard
25:44
time thinking of anything. But I guess like, I guess like
25:48
the whole like attitude about the cheer team from the school
25:52
with how they were like so scrutinized for even doing
25:56
cheerleading. You know what I mean?
25:58
Like you can't flip, you can't do anything.
26:01
You have to have all your feet on the ground at all the times.
26:03
Like what the fuck does that even?
26:04
Like what can you do? And I recognize that this is
26:07
going to mostly go over your head because you do not believe
26:10
me that what the plot of Footloose is about.
26:12
But it feels a very Footloose moral majority.
26:14
This thing caused to death, so we're going to outlaw it
26:16
permanently. It's dumb in this movie.
26:18
It's dumb in that one too, OK? It's such a dumb idea.
26:22
I fucking hate it. That kind of reactionary like
26:28
rule creation isn't just in movies and TV though, You know
26:35
it. I mean, I, I can buy it.
26:38
It's just weird that they even let them continue having the
26:41
cheer team. Yeah, that's what I'm saying in
26:42
there. Just like cancel the team again.
26:44
The principal could have done that from the beginning, but she
26:46
just wanted to sabotage it or something.
26:48
It's so fucking stupid. Yeah, and I I'm going to go also
26:53
with the ugly, but more in how like again, and cheerleading
26:57
isn't like a woman only sport, but it is predominantly
27:02
associated with being for women in that kind of attitude of
27:08
like, oh, it's not really athletic.
27:10
Oh, it's not as important that that's a very true type of
27:18
attitude that these types of athletes face.
27:22
And I say that as somebody who danced for a large portion of my
27:25
childhood. And then when I wasn't dancing,
27:27
I did things like winter guard. It's very, it's very realistic
27:32
when people are like, well, you're just moving around.
27:34
It's like it actually takes a lot of a lot of athletic
27:39
conditioning. I mean best argument in this
27:41
case. If golf is a sport then that's a
27:44
sport. Like come on.
27:45
Like if you call people that play golf athletes and like what
27:49
the fuck are we doing here if you're calling cheerleaders not
27:51
athletes? Exactly.
27:53
Exactly. Golf.
27:54
You smack a ball and then you go drive like that's all you do.
27:57
And I do think that like lately, there have been some good things
28:00
that have come from like the rise of the popularity of docu
28:05
series, especially Netflix has two seasons of Cheer and they've
28:10
done two seasons of America's Sweethearts to kind of take over
28:13
after making the team was cut from CMT.
28:16
And I think those have done good things to show just how how
28:19
athletic they're expected to be on top of like all of these
28:22
other like expectations too. Yeah, Jesse got real big into
28:27
the cheerleading stuff this past year.
28:28
I did. Yeah, it's, I mean, it reminds
28:31
me of my dance days. Yeah.
28:33
So what is your absurd? Well, I guess we're kind of
28:37
continuing on from the past thing we just talked about here,
28:40
but I thought it was really stupid that like Principal
28:43
Simmons is like, your athletes are trained, they know how to
28:46
not injure themselves. And I'm like, that's the dumbest
28:49
fucking thing I've ever heard. Like in all of my favorite
28:52
sports that I watch, I have to deal with my like, favorite
28:55
players getting hurt every fucking year.
28:58
I get habits like they don't know any better than not get
29:01
hurt. That's so fucking stupid.
29:03
And if anything, like dancers and cheerleaders are going to be
29:07
less prone to injury because they're practicing these same
29:10
movements. Everybody's working together.
29:12
There's not a surprise in the things that are happening,
29:15
unlike football where you're actively trying to knock each
29:20
other out, you know? Dude, I mean, like just like
29:24
baseball, like people blow out their fucking tendons just by
29:29
like running, like changing their speed all of a sudden too
29:32
fast and stopping too quickly, you know, like, yeah, it's just
29:36
like you can't like, I mean, it's just, it is what it is.
29:39
It's just stupid to think like, Oh well, these other sports,
29:42
they know how to not do this stuff.
29:43
No, like they'll they'll blow out a fucking tendon like
29:46
splinting. Again, they have to have all of
29:48
the same athletic conditioning it there's there's more of an
29:53
element of control with dancing and cheerleading.
29:55
Not saying that injuries don't happen, because dear God yes
29:57
they do. But I'm not even trying to say
29:59
that like they can't get injured.
30:00
I'm just saying the fact that you think that like athletes
30:03
don't know how to get, that's my absurd.
30:05
Like athletes get injured so easily all the time.
30:07
Like it doesn't matter what you're doing.
30:09
You can even get injured doing golf.
30:11
Like it's just absurd to say like athletes know how to not
30:14
get injured because no, watch sport just like do that and you
30:21
will see. OK, OK, Mine is they're they're
30:26
game, cheer or die 'cause they say that they have to do them
30:29
perfectly. No, that shit's being done
30:32
perfectly. Yeah, but they they're probably
30:35
terrible judges for that. Also true.
30:38
And then the other thing, 'cause they're because the rope breaks
30:42
at the end and they're jumping from the top of the school to
30:44
try and get to the school bus and everything, right?
30:46
And they're like, cool, we'll, we'll catch Abby.
30:49
They are 15 feet away from the edge of the building.
30:53
Abby is not going to reach you, dude.
30:56
That shot of her falling back and like they must have had a
30:59
hidden like landing pad somewhere down there because
31:02
she's dying there's. Nobody on the ground in that
31:05
shot. She's dead.
31:07
They are so far away, away from her.
31:09
Maybe that's why they hid all of the information on this movie
31:12
like we can't there was a death. Carrie matters.
31:16
Actually. Dead.
31:17
Yeah. OK.
31:20
Well, OK. It's time to rate.
31:21
It all right? What are you giving up?
31:25
It's a solid movie. It's it's not great.
31:28
It's not bad. I'm going to give it like a 5
31:31
1/2. 5 1/2 I'm going to give it a seven.
31:33
I think it's it's more fun than it isn't and it it gave me
31:39
exactly what I expected out of it.
31:42
I had a fun time. Again, these ratings are just
31:44
how I like intrinsically feel about something.
31:48
So it's fair. I mean, this is something that
31:50
you like. OK, so 36 point no 6.25, yeah,
32:00
6.25 starting average. OK, cool.
32:03
All right, Well, let's get into it, OK?
32:05
So we start off, we're in a cheer competition.
32:07
It's 2020. It's God damn it.
32:09
You did that this weekend and it's fucked me up.
32:11
It's 2002 you. Know what?
32:13
It would have been cool. This is around the time of the
32:16
first Bring it on. I mean, that was in the 90s,
32:18
right? But like, or was it early 2000s?
32:22
I think it would have been cool to have like, have this be the
32:25
competition where the toros. Yeah, that would have been
32:27
really cool. That was a missed opportunity,
32:29
unless that was something that they couldn't do for whatever
32:31
reason. Bring it On was 2000.
32:34
Bring it On Again was 2004. So so.
32:37
They could have done it. Yeah, they could have had just
32:39
They could. Have said in 2000.
32:41
They could have just yeah, they or they could have just had like
32:44
the more. Toros, Toros.
32:46
Yeah, yeah, it was a missed. Opportunity.
32:48
The Toros are the clovers. Yeah, it was a missed
32:50
opportunity. Yeah, anyway, the Green Knights
32:53
are on and we see the Diablo captains are watching and
32:57
ridiculing and they're not with their team who should be on
33:00
deck. And everybody's supposed to be
33:01
there when you're on deck, but whatever.
33:02
The captain tells Sandra that they've got to do like they're
33:07
going to do this toss that. They hadn't practiced much and
33:09
she was a little bit nervous about and she said too bad you
33:12
got to do it. She's also sitting there with
33:15
like a Nosebleed. Yes, yeah.
33:17
She's just bleeding all over her face.
33:19
Yeah, so they, she's got tissue stuffed up in her nose.
33:22
There's no way that they would go out there with that.
33:24
No, not the way it is, anyway. They get up into the formation.
33:28
Sandra's at the top. She sneezes and she sneezes out
33:31
blood and then the captain who is holding her like does a Paige
33:37
Mitchell Chuck and knocks her down.
33:39
So let me ask you something, 'cause I know a like a big part
33:42
of the judging for these is like, you know, presentation
33:45
with your face, your smiles and stuff like that.
33:48
How many points do you think would be deducted for sneezing
33:50
blood? I don't know that like a sneeze
33:54
necessarily would be detected so much as it is like your ability
33:57
to recover from it, but. The fact that like what if like
33:59
you bloodied up one of the other cheerleaders faces with your
34:01
sneeze? I I don't know that's.
34:03
Got to be points off. So I didn't do cheerleading.
34:06
What I do know from the documentaries is that you do
34:09
have a chance to reset. If there's like a major like
34:12
fuck up you can reset. You can.
34:13
OK, so all right, I, I was just figuring like season blood on
34:18
somebody's face has got to be a deduction somewhere.
34:21
I don't think that they have a box for that.
34:24
Whoa, it falls under other where you just check them.
34:27
You like sneeze blood on face? Gross.
34:30
Anyway, 20 years later, Abby is asleep on her desk.
34:34
She's got she's late. She's gonna get to her football
34:36
team and they're playing the Green Knights because that's
34:39
apparently the only other school in the entire state is the Great
34:43
Knights. There is a player, his name's
34:47
Scott. Apparently it was a little bit
34:49
confusing because they called him, was it Stalker Stan?
34:54
Which like I get that a Stan is like a Stalker fan but it was
34:59
also just very confusing. Yeah, I didn't even catch that.
35:02
Yeah, yeah. I think it's really funny though
35:05
that they're getting their asses beat at halftime.
35:07
They're losing like 40 something to nothing, and everybody's
35:10
going to like the fucking locker room to talk about the game.
35:13
And he's like, hey, I'm gonna go talk to Abby.
35:16
This coach gets so mad at him. Like, dude, you're getting your
35:19
ass beat. Like, you should not be thinking
35:21
about this right here. Think about the fucking game.
35:23
Yeah, he basically Abby broke up with him because he cheated on
35:28
her and she's just not willing to put up with that.
35:32
And then the the creepy photographer guy in the stands
35:36
is Evan, and he's been her best friend since elementary school.
35:39
And I think that she could probably do better on both ends.
35:42
They never say but is he supposed to be like the class
35:45
historian or whatever? I get that impression, and I
35:49
think this was definitely a thing that we always did.
35:51
Shorthand for was like the loner guy who works for like the
35:55
yearbook type of trope. Because we do get that a lot.
35:59
Yeah, it just, they never say it, but he's like recording and
36:02
taking pictures pretty much the entire time it.
36:05
I feel like people think he's creepy enough that if he wasn't
36:09
in the yearbook they would mention.
36:10
Like why is he even taking pictures of?
36:11
Us. Yeah, true.
36:12
Yeah, well, there's also somebody else taking pictures on
36:15
the sidelines over there and somebody trips over and it's
36:18
Evie, one of the sisters of What's Carrie?
36:23
No, Paige. Paige.
36:26
It's Paige and Evie are twins and they decided they were going
36:29
to do their own separate things and so Paige decided she was
36:34
going to be a cheerleader and Evie is not.
36:37
Yeah, and she's like, she's just jealous because I got the
36:39
cheerleader. Like you all can both be
36:42
cheerleaders. Yeah, so stupid.
36:43
Truly. So Michaela suggests that they
36:47
should do their secret routine because they are getting their
36:50
asses kicked by the other cheerleaders over there.
36:53
So they give it a shot and it fucks up.
36:57
And the principal is there, so she sees them.
37:00
She knows that they've been practicing in secret.
37:02
So she calls in Michaela and Abby, captain and Co captain of
37:05
the team, says they're not athletes because athletes get
37:08
trained to not get hurt. As we talked about extensively,
37:12
this is fact. Yep.
37:14
So she's like, you cannot jump nor flip nor routine anymore.
37:18
Yeah, 1 foot must be on the ground at all times.
37:21
That's right, we are doing Olympic speed walking rules.
37:26
And you know what? They break the rules speed
37:27
walking all the time. Yeah, yeah.
37:30
How do you, who even referees that?
37:33
How do you judge that? Like you just got.
37:35
Sensors in your shoes like what's happening?
37:37
You like get on a skateboard and you just roll next to them, just
37:40
have your foot down. OK, so.
37:45
Michaela decides that she's going to take a loophole of the
37:47
situation and she says, well, Simmons isn't going to be our
37:50
regionals so she won't know what we're doing.
37:53
And she said we're not allowed to do stunts on school property.
37:58
But there's the abandoned school across town.
38:01
And Paige says, oh, hey, school board still has the keys because
38:04
they use it for storage. I can get us in there.
38:07
And they're just, they're going to do a 24 hour cheer camp
38:10
practice session on. Halloween weekend.
38:13
Halloween because it's spooky. Yeah, Yep.
38:16
So Abby, she's leaving school later that day and she sees
38:22
Scott, he's winning a second chance with her.
38:25
She's not willing to give it to her.
38:26
We it's just basically a rehash of the first conversation, but
38:29
this time we have Evan coming up to talk to her too.
38:32
And like Jesse said before, it gets kind of aggro.
38:35
He's just he, he gets really like he's like automatically
38:38
accusing her of like going back with Scott.
38:41
And they both lash out each at each other over this.
38:45
And then they make up and then like, that's that.
38:49
That's basically the entire scene.
38:50
Yeah, I don't. I don't buy their friendship.
38:52
No, I don't either. Michaela is home alone and she's
38:56
doing a sheet mask. Yes, I love a sheet mask.
39:02
Yeah, I tried to. I didn't say there's anything
39:05
wrong with it. I said yeah, good for Michaela.
39:08
Yeah, good for her. I thought you were going to say
39:10
something about how I do a weekly sheet mask and I try and
39:13
get the environmentally friendly ones with like the recycled
39:16
packaging and everything but. Go green, baby.
39:18
Yeah. It's good for your skin.
39:20
It's good for if you've got like a dry and or combination skin,
39:24
it's really good for treating those issues.
39:27
So she hears a knock at the dorm and she goes to check nobody's
39:29
there. And then she goes back to her
39:31
room and she finds one of her picture frames or on the ground
39:34
and it's all shattered. This is, man, it's such a
39:38
cliche, and I don't know that if I was ever in a real life horror
39:45
movie that I would make that connection because I've had an
39:47
ongoing issue with my fucking diploma at work.
39:50
Yeah, kept keeps falling off the wall and the frame shattering.
39:53
It's starting to get ridiculous. We had our sign Krillin up on
39:57
the wall that was falling apart too.
39:59
Yeah, You know, it's just like, like we, we buy cheap.
40:01
Frames Yeah. Am I gonna be murdered by one of
40:04
my old classmates? And you're gonna be murdered by
40:06
Krillin, Adult Krillin's voice actor.
40:09
I would love to go out that way. Oh my God.
40:11
Please, we've got we've got a real fun set of pictures with
40:14
him. Oh, it's so good.
40:16
Yeah, I got that saved in video for him too.
40:19
It's so good. Hopefully, hopefully Travis will
40:22
remember and put this video up on our social media so you all
40:26
can see it. Remind me when this is getting
40:29
edited and I'll put it up. Anyway, because her picture
40:32
broke, that means she's dying. Yes, this is a horror movie, so.
40:35
The person. 'S that's what we're getting at.
40:37
This guy watched Halloween 5, OK?
40:39
Like, it's like it would have been really funny if it was like
40:41
a picture of Jamie Lee Curtis. Like what the fuck is this?
40:46
He just said get killed. That would be you if you were a
40:48
killer. Like you would just be like,
40:49
yeah, yeah. Yeah, Oh, that would be awesome.
40:53
So the bus arrives, They're missing three people, one of
40:56
them including Michaela, and they're just like, Oh well.
40:59
If they're here away, they'll just show up at the school
41:01
themselves. I wonder if it was either like a
41:04
filming schedule issue with some of the other people that were in
41:07
their previous scenes, or if maybe two of the other cast
41:11
members wound up COVID positive. Man, it could be dude, you could
41:16
be on to something. Another thing I think I don't
41:19
understand is why do they all have to take a bus over there
41:21
together? Why could they not just show up
41:23
on their own? I think part of it is this feels
41:31
dumb to say. I think part of it is like club
41:33
protocol, Like if you're part of a school club, transportation
41:37
has to be provided. And I get why this is stupid,
41:39
and I'm going to acknowledge that it's stupid because they're
41:41
not supposed to be doing this in the first place.
41:42
Yeah, they're going against school rules already.
41:44
But I also think it's because they do have some freshmen that
41:47
can't drive carpool. And I also think that it's so
41:52
that way girls won't drive to the school and then try and
41:54
leave early because it's Halloween weekend and people
41:56
like Tori already have their costume figured out.
41:58
Like they don't want to risk people sneaking out.
42:01
Ah, I suppose. So Abby is going to collect
42:04
phones when they get off the bus, that is, that is part of
42:07
their plan. So when people are not
42:09
distracted by their phones, she's like, go ahead, send
42:11
whatever text messages you need, say goodbye to your loved ones,
42:15
you know, wrap up any loose ends you have.
42:17
This might be your last chance. This.
42:18
Is it? The bus driver there might not
42:23
be licensed to drive a school bus.
42:25
He's auto. He's basically auto.
42:28
He's auto. Yeah, Because he's like, I got a
42:31
gig tonight. If he's done around 4:00, I'll
42:34
be here at 5:00 and then I'm dead to the world.
42:37
All right, which that it's not 4 in the morning now and it was
42:45
supposed to be a full 24. I don't whatever it's.
42:47
Playing by gremlins, it's. It's whatever and I can tell you
42:50
like you can get a lot done in these like full intensive
42:54
weekend long practices, but you're going to be stretching
42:59
thin. Yeah, for sure.
43:01
So they're at the school. It's creepy and it's dark, but
43:04
they find the gymnasium and they get all set up there.
43:08
Yeah. They're like, all right, well,
43:09
since you took all of our phones, how are we going to do
43:10
any music? And then somebody's like, oh,
43:12
have you heard of a little old invention called a boom box?
43:17
They have not. They have watched Gremlins
43:20
though. I love that.
43:21
I love the duality of these. That is fascinating to me.
43:25
Yeah, that they watch Gremlins but don't know what a boom box
43:28
is. You know what it's it's kind of
43:31
like at work whenever younger people don't know what a fax
43:34
machine is. And I'm like not willing to make
43:38
fun of them 'cause I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, whose person's year
43:42
of birth starts in a 2 that you don't know this ancient
43:45
technology. I don't even think we should be
43:47
using fax machines anymore. I'm not going to make fun of you
43:49
for not knowing this technology. People still use them way too
43:51
much, it's ridiculous. It really they're so unreliable
43:54
and we have much better means of communication but.
43:57
Some people are just old school. Well, they got the boom box
44:01
going. They're going.
44:02
They're it's a practice. Montage Yeah, we get a nice
44:04
little warm up in practice. Montage I quite enjoyed it.
44:08
And then it ends with Regan being dropped.
44:11
Yep, she falls. Hurts her ankle.
44:13
She's gonna get a 5 minute break so that way people can as she
44:16
can elevate her ankle and people can go look for ice.
44:20
But before they go looking for ice, they start talking about
44:24
the story of 2002 explaining why the program had been cancelled
44:28
in the 1st place, which I guess is why this school got shut
44:31
down. I don't really know what
44:33
happened or how they got on this topic.
44:35
Yeah, it well, really we just needed the exposition of how
44:38
this was tied to that incident. Yeah, pretty much.
44:40
And it's just basically like the person died at the the end of
44:44
that whole thing in 2002 and they shut down the program in
44:47
the school and they just now revived the cheer program for
44:50
them this year, I guess. And they said that she fell and
44:53
broke her neck and was beheaded. And they were like, you can't be
44:56
beheaded from a broken neck. And actually there is such a
44:59
thing called internal beheading, where everything is severed but
45:04
it's still skin. Yeah, well.
45:06
Really. So, yeah.
45:07
So that's an actual thing and that's why it's so important if
45:11
you have any kind of an injury that could have possibly done
45:13
anything to your back or neck that you don't fucking move.
45:16
Yeah, but people are always like, get to that, get to that,
45:18
get that. That's a good person that people
45:20
go to. Like, damn, don't do that.
45:23
That's the thing you're not supposed to do.
45:26
Yeah, so Sydney goes to look for their phones because, you know,
45:30
Reagan's hurt and they've got to, they've got to take care of
45:32
her. I always want to call her Reagan
45:35
but they keep saying Regan. The captions do not know how
45:38
it's spelled. The captions change up multiple
45:41
times and it doesn't match. What's an IMDb?
45:43
I yeah, I would call it Reagan too, but we may be Exorcist
45:46
biased. Yeah, that's definitely what it
45:48
well, and it's the same thing as like Megan, Megan, Megan like.
45:51
Megan Megan. God that just like I haven't
45:57
done that in years. Unlocked Megan.
46:00
Megan. We've been respecting Jordan
46:02
Peele and his horror producer here, so.
46:06
That's true, yeah. So anyway, Cindy goes to look
46:10
for the phones and Quincy forgot to put ice in the cooler so Tory
46:17
is going to go look for some ice in like the the nurse's office
46:21
which you guys had to flip some circuit Breakers to get the
46:25
lights on. Why frozen like?
46:27
What are you thinking? It's not smart.
46:30
We keep our freezer clean and there are still times where I
46:33
pull out the ice bag and I'm like, I feel like I need to wash
46:36
those, freeze it. It's like we're we're clean and
46:40
in an inhabited home. Yeah.
46:42
It's not been an abandoned school for 20.
46:44
Years like here's your Petri dish.
46:48
Enjoy, yes, Hope there's no broken skin.
46:51
Well, so shoot which one is? This is this is Tori.
46:55
Tori. Yeah.
46:56
The mascot appears and throws scissors at her.
46:59
Maybe. I thought they were scissors.
47:01
It looked like scissors pulled apart.
47:02
They. To me, I think they're like the
47:03
little ninja dagger things that you throw.
47:05
Yeah, it's a something with the. It's not sure it can cuz those
47:14
are the stars, but it's a it's that it's one of those I've
47:23
watched Naruto. It's a shish.
47:26
It's a shish. It's.
47:27
A Shish. It's a whole car game.
47:31
OK, so yeah, throw scissors at her and she's like trying to
47:35
fight the the devil. And I'm just, you know what?
47:39
I'm just going to start using that whenever I'm describing any
47:42
kind of a hardship in my life. I'm trying to fight the devil
47:45
right now. Oh.
47:46
Dude, that's straight from the South right there.
47:47
You fit right in down here. I'm.
47:50
Trying to fight the devil. Everybody's like you fight that
47:52
good fight, you got it. Well, she loses this fight.
47:57
She does, yeah. This is where she gets the air
47:59
pressure thing. This.
48:00
Is new fear unlocked? Like not that I think this could
48:05
ever happen. Like, I don't know what if when
48:07
I go in for my surgery next month, they're like, we're gonna
48:09
take your blood pressure. It's intense.
48:13
It's a pretty good kill. I'll give them good credit
48:15
there. Sydney needs to pee with the
48:20
buddy and nobody wants to be her buddy.
48:22
And this is my Franny face for this episode of My Nose.
48:25
Yeah. She's like, isn't a thing that
48:26
people do. Like everybody needs a pee
48:27
partner and like no you can go on your own.
48:30
And also kind of like guard competitions because we would
48:33
stay the night in the schools. They were hosted in the schools
48:35
on the weekends. Every team would be like,
48:37
assigned a classroom, really. They could stay in every night.
48:39
Yeah. Weird.
48:41
And This is why my family has so many air mattresses.
48:45
You can bring your own air mattress.
48:46
For that, that makes sense. And in non abandoned situations,
48:52
like we still had bathroom buddies so nobody was going
48:55
there on their own. Yeah, so I feel bad for Sidney.
48:59
No, I yeah. I mean, it's a creepy building.
49:01
Like all by yourself, like I I get it.
49:03
Yeah. And she goes into the bathroom.
49:06
Why is every abandoned bathroom nasty?
49:08
Why can't an abandoned bathroom just be like a little dusty and
49:12
that's it? If.
49:13
People take out their frustrations on the building on
49:15
their way out. They're like, this isn't my
49:16
chance if you're. Going to shit on the building.
49:18
Why would you shit in the toilet though?
49:22
Be like and can't buy me love and shit on my house you.
49:25
Shit, on my house we got that signed on our coffee by Courtney
49:30
Gaines. Molokai, yeah.
49:34
Yeah, all right. And she finds it an open stall,
49:38
but it's got a bear trap in it, a makeshift bear trap.
49:42
It doesn't have cutting like teeth or anything like that.
49:46
It just like holds her in place. It's confusing, which I think is
49:51
enough. Yeah.
49:52
She's like, what is happening to me?
49:55
Why am I suddenly in the movie, saw what's going on, and then
49:59
that's just enough for the killer to come out, smash her
50:03
head on the toilet? Swirly.
50:05
Swirly her? Yeah, and then beat her with the
50:08
toilet seat. Yeah, yeah.
50:11
And. It's it's effective.
50:12
Apparently. This is the lesson I'm learning
50:15
from this movie is you don't need an actual bear trap to
50:17
capacitate someone if you're ready.
50:19
Just enough to distract them in like 2 seconds.
50:21
That's all you need. And you know what?
50:23
Yeah, it wouldn't have. It wouldn't have worked as well
50:25
as she had a bathroom buddy. No, it wouldn't have.
50:28
Yeah, See, they they fucked up Mateo and I can't remember the
50:32
other person's name here. Jackie.
50:34
Jackie. They decide that they're gonna
50:35
go prank Tori. Love it.
50:37
Yeah. You know, love these very
50:39
believable shenanigans. Yeah.
50:41
And they're. And they even go, wait, isn't
50:43
our break almost up? And then, like, Sydney's not
50:46
back from the bathroom yet. It's fine.
50:48
Again, very relatable. Yeah, no, I get it.
50:50
It's a good time. So they're just like walk in the
50:52
halls and. They see Quincy, who's gone for
50:55
air. Yeah.
50:56
And basically what's happening is we're getting all these
51:00
people out the gym because what happens in the midst of all this
51:03
is Evan pulls up and he goes to the side door of one of the
51:06
buildings. He's like, he's like, here's
51:08
what you asked for. I just want to make sure that
51:10
I'm there for Abby's moment of truth.
51:15
So that's what all is happening. These are all of the players
51:19
that are going on as Matteo and Jackie are looking for Tori.
51:24
We have Paige talking to Abby. Paige doesn't realize that they
51:27
break broke and entered. She did not realize this was the
51:30
situation. She's a little bit of a goody 2
51:33
shoes. She starts panicking.
51:35
I get it. So she's going to go get some
51:36
air. Also Quincy finds one of the
51:41
doors chain locked and it's like whoa that's creepy because it
51:46
definitely wasn't chain locked before and as he's like kind of
51:51
being stoned and dealing with this slower.
51:54
I never show him do the drugs. We.
51:56
Just know who he is though. Yeah, we can't.
51:58
Show drugs on TV. Yeah, we can't show drugs, but
52:01
we can show the stoners, so that's what we're doing.
52:04
And then he gets hit with a blow dart.
52:07
They are finding creative ways to kill these people.
52:10
Yeah, if they can't show the gore.
52:12
It's a bulldart to incapacitate them and then they have an axe
52:15
which it's a classic. Yes.
52:17
And as he's being hit, the mascot, I guess, is far enough
52:21
behind him that Jackie and Mateo on the other end of the hall are
52:27
seeing him. They're seeing him like up
52:29
against the door, and they think that he's just stoned and making
52:32
out with the door. And so they laugh and go away.
52:34
Well in a later shot it was shown that the person with the
52:39
axe is the non mascot sister. Yes so that's why you don't see
52:43
a big mascot there because she's so tiny.
52:45
She's just behind him. She's she itty bitty little
52:47
thing. So Scott and Danny meanwhile,
52:51
outside of the school they're on, they're in Scott's truck and
52:56
they're going to go check on Michaela because Abby asked
52:58
Scott to check on Michaela because she didn't show up.
53:01
And it's not like her and Abby's only friends are cheerleaders,
53:06
her ex-boyfriend and her toxic friend from Elementary.
53:09
School. Yeah, she's got a solid friend
53:10
group right there. I'm happy for her.
53:14
And yeah, I mean, they're basically just in the truck.
53:17
Like, yeah, dude, you should go for Abby again, bro.
53:20
Like, come on, love. And then when he realizes
53:22
they're going to Michaela's house, it's like, nice move on,
53:26
Reba. Yeah, that.
53:27
Was pretty good. Yeah, I like, I think Danny
53:30
probably could have been a really effective, like comedic
53:34
relief character, but it was just, it was a little forced.
53:37
Some of them weren't, some of them he had his moments, but he
53:40
also has some very forced dialogue for sure.
53:43
So back in practice, they decide that they're going to try to
53:45
lift with Paige. This is Paige's first year on
53:47
the cheer squad. She's afraid of doing the basket
53:50
toss, and she kind of like, wiggles a little bit too much
53:53
while she's up there. They end up falling.
53:54
Jackie gets hurt. Yeah, and she's like, fuck this,
53:58
I'm going to go to the bathroom. I get this because I'm a person
54:01
when I get hurt like that, I I'm angry at gravity in the world
54:08
and whatever I've hurt myself on and I'm like I need 2 fucking
54:11
minutes. Give me a second.
54:15
I'm like I I get mad when I get hurt.
54:18
I just I need a second it's. True so.
54:25
So I get Jackie in this moment, except she gets to the bathroom
54:28
and she finds Sydney. Yeah, it finds body, calls
54:31
others. Everybody else is checking out
54:33
the body. And they find the the phones,
54:36
they are tossing toilet in the toilet.
54:38
And so none of them work. They even make a reference like,
54:42
oh, these are waterlogged, we don't have any rice, blah, blah,
54:44
blah. So we know that they're all out
54:45
of Commission because that's a thing in modern horror.
54:49
You have to figure out how to disable the cell phones.
54:51
Yep. So they now.
54:54
They go back to the gym because they're just going to grab their
54:57
stuff and get out, and they find a notebook near 1 of the bags
55:00
with #cheersleigh. Yeah, it's a deathless.
55:04
And it's got the cliches with points assigned to them.
55:09
Yeah, which I guess is it like originally it was a book for the
55:13
football team, like where you got points for having sex with a
55:16
certain type of person. Yeah.
55:18
So it's now been reformatted into.
55:21
You get so many points for killing a certain type of
55:22
person. Gross.
55:24
And so that this is gonna lead to the rest of the movie, them
55:27
trying to figure out who is which.
55:28
Cliche. Like we've got.
55:30
Yeah, we've got the jock, the klutzy.
55:33
Was it klutzy nerd? Yeah, the sexy blonde, the bad
55:37
ass. Yeah.
55:38
So there's a lot of different and like it's interesting
55:41
watching them try to figure out who is what and like them
55:44
landing on different possibilities.
55:46
Yeah, I like. That they grab their stuff, they
55:52
haven't seen Tori or Quincy still, and they're like, well,
55:54
we'll find them on our way out and tell them that we're coming.
55:58
All of the doors are chained. And they realize that they're
56:02
trapped in there. That this list is, you know,
56:05
serious business. And they need to find everybody
56:07
else on the list, figure out who's assigned what.
56:09
Jackie and Reagan are going to stay in the gym because Reagan
56:12
still can't really move around that much.
56:15
I love this fit as the rest of them are looking around and
56:18
Matteo's like, OK, we need to be able to assess the threat alert.
56:22
So like if we see a situation, we can rate it from like 1:00 to
56:26
10:00. And 1:00 would be like a Girl
56:28
Scout trying to sell you cookies.
56:30
And 10 would be like a madman with an axe.
56:33
I don't know what a Girl Scout with an axe would be, but I just
56:36
figured this is a good starting point.
56:37
It's like. He says maybe 6, which I was
56:39
such a thing myself. I started on five but then I was
56:43
like, you know what 6 is right because the axe edges you.
56:45
You above medium just having the.
56:47
Axe alone and not the figure that Axe is threatening.
56:49
Yeah, you're back. You're in the scarier side of
56:51
the the spectrum there with that right there.
56:54
And I'm telling you, this cracked me up so much.
56:58
They Scott is he can't find Michaela at her house, so he's
57:03
like going around. He knows what her room is like,
57:07
which window it is, and he peeks in the window can't see her body
57:10
there, but he does see the calendar that mentions that
57:12
they're at the abandoned school. So he's like, hey, cool, we'll
57:16
just go there instead. Yes, and you know, I keep a very
57:19
detailed calendar too, so if we ever go missing people, if they
57:24
peek into our window and be like, oh shit, that's where
57:27
they're at this weekend. Jackie and Regan are flirting.
57:34
Like, oh, you might be the sexy blonde, not the nerd.
57:40
Then unfortunately our scouting group they find Tori pinned to a
57:45
wall. Very Halloween esque.
57:47
I like I. Like this part because
57:49
beforehand we did have like a little shot of like the paper
57:52
cutter and I guess it got used here because when they go in
57:55
their materials like worst spirit fingers ever.
57:58
Yes. That's a fucking call back to
58:00
bring it on right there. I like it.
58:02
You've got to have spirit fingers at least in mention.
58:06
They all go running once they find this.
58:09
The Diablo is shooting arrows at them like full bow and arrow.
58:13
I like that Mateo is like trying to dodge them by just doing
58:15
cheerleading moves but it just doesn't work.
58:17
He still gets hit. I love it because this is that
58:21
good balance of like, stupid, goofy and horror because it's
58:25
like, no, obviously doing a back handspring is not going to be
58:28
the most efficient way to get away from an arrow.
58:31
Yeah, but it still shows off the athleticism of it and like,
58:34
yeah, I think it's fun. I.
58:36
Liked it, it was a good moment. Dan and Scott Danny and Scott
58:42
are at the school now, and they hear like helps as they're going
58:45
on and they. I think it's like a Halloween
58:48
thing or Danny does it, but he's just like, it's Halloween, bro.
58:50
They're just fucking with us and he's like, I gotta go pee.
58:53
My body's telling me things. And he's, he's dressed as a
58:55
mummy, so it's going to take some time.
58:57
Yeah, yeah, it was not a very efficient mummy, mummy costume.
59:01
No, so he's going to the bathroom.
59:03
Scott's waiting for him, but he hears Abby screaming.
59:06
So he's like they're yelling back and forth trying to find
59:08
each other and they don't find each other.
59:11
But Abby finds a room that has ATV with a note.
59:14
That says first she finds Quincy, does she?
59:17
Yes, she finds Quincy. He's in the stairwell and she's
59:20
talking to him and he's somehow still alive and he gets a really
59:24
dramatic death scene. Yeah, that's right.
59:26
I forget. About it I do.
59:27
I did think he did a good job with his death monologue.
59:29
He. Did good.
59:30
Yeah, he did. Good, Mateo.
59:32
This is where he's getting shot with the arrow and you know, he
59:37
gets hit in the shoulder and he's like, well, you're out of
59:39
arrows now, bitch. And that's when the Diablo pulls
59:41
out knives that just starts throwing those instead.
59:44
Abby, this is where she's like running around trying to find
59:47
Scott and she runs into a room with the TV, the old, the old
59:52
school TV on a cart setup with the VHS player.
59:55
I'm surprised I knew what a VHS was.
59:57
And ACRTTV, Yeah, with, you know, not knowing what a boom
1:00:01
box is. And it said play me.
1:00:03
So she pushes in the tape and it is Michaela kissing Scott under
1:00:08
the bleachers. So not only did her boyfriend
1:00:11
cheat on her apparently multiple times, but her best friend
1:00:14
friend cheated on her and. Co Captain.
1:00:16
And that's worse. Yeah, honestly, like high school
1:00:20
boyfriends are whatever. Friends are supposed to be
1:00:22
stronger than that. Yeah, so Scott walks in and
1:00:26
she's watching the tape and he's trying to explain everything,
1:00:29
but the mascot follows him and he starts to fight off the
1:00:33
mascot while he lets Abby go. And he gets hit in the head with
1:00:35
a bottle. And we have talked about this
1:00:37
multiple times on the show. That shit is that is career
1:00:42
ending shit like you don't, you don't, yeah.
1:00:45
Like you're. Yeah, it is hard to break a
1:00:47
bottle. It takes a lot of violent force.
1:00:50
Yeah, and if it does break, you're getting cut the fuck up
1:00:55
like you're bleeding out. Yeah, it's bad.
1:00:58
Matteo runs into Danny who thinks all of this is a prank
1:01:02
and is just like kind of laughing.
1:01:06
Doesn't believe Tori is dead at first.
1:01:08
Does get upset when he learns she's a virgin, but then the
1:01:11
Diablo ends up hitting him with an arrow.
1:01:13
Guess the Diablo went and recollected the arrows.
1:01:15
Yeah, yeah. And yeah, it's a headshot.
1:01:17
He's dead. Abby, Mateo and Silent Stu are
1:01:20
back in the gym with Jackie and Reagan.
1:01:22
Paige runs in and the Diablo follows and then Paige grabs
1:01:27
Reagan, holds her at knife point and Evie takes off the mascot
1:01:32
head and reveals she's the Diablo and she killed Evan.
1:01:38
So Sandra from the beginning of the movie of the bloody sneeze,
1:01:42
The bloody sneeze and the internal beheading.
1:01:44
Wait. First, can I just mention did
1:01:46
you notice how bad this fake knife was?
1:01:49
I did not notice how bad the fake knife was.
1:01:51
They may as well have bought it from Dollar Tree.
1:01:54
Oh no, it. Was just like full on plastic.
1:02:00
What I did notice was, you know, that wasn't a good segue.
1:02:04
I don't have like anything worth noticing.
1:02:06
I was just going to lay out some very obvious facts.
1:02:08
Sorry that was that was I'll leave it in.
1:02:11
Bad segues happen sometimes. But a segue is a segue.
1:02:13
A segue is a segue. What matters as we get there.
1:02:16
Sandra was principal Bull Simmons, twin sister of the
1:02:19
internal decapitation. She raised her children for
1:02:23
revenge because that's a sane and rational thing to do.
1:02:28
Abby's mom was the team captain that pushed Sandra.
1:02:33
So you know, we're just continuing the cycle of
1:02:35
violence. It's the Prince generational
1:02:37
trauma. Yeah, the principal is their
1:02:38
mom. Yes, I thought I said that.
1:02:41
You might have, I don't. Know, I thought you were going
1:02:43
to say it's the principle. Like, you know, the whole point
1:02:45
is revenge. It's the principle of the
1:02:47
matter. That's what I thought you were
1:02:48
getting at it first. No, I'm not that smart.
1:02:53
So they've come up with a game called Cheer or Die and I must
1:02:57
cheer in perfect form or they will die.
1:03:00
Jackie's the jock, which I think is really funny when you see on
1:03:03
IMDb that her full listed name is Jackie Braun.
1:03:07
Jackie Braun. Really.
1:03:08
Yeah. Jackie Braun Breaker.
1:03:14
Well, she nails it next. Up she does.
1:03:17
She does. Kick, kick, split fish flop.
1:03:20
Yeah, I, I didn't write hers down.
1:03:22
I wrote down Mateo's. It's a backhand spring step out.
1:03:26
And he's got to start from standing.
1:03:27
So no running round off backhand.
1:03:29
Spring Stew has to do a back tuck.
1:03:34
And we found out Stu is the badass.
1:03:37
Yeah, No, Stu is a back handspring.
1:03:39
Back tuck. I can't reap my own nose.
1:03:42
It's bad handwriting. That's OK, Ray again.
1:03:44
Who's the klutzy nerd? She has to do a Randolph back
1:03:47
walk over. And then Abby is like, well,
1:03:50
hey, she's hurt. Don't you want to keep your
1:03:54
leverage? And that's distracts them long
1:03:58
enough for everybody to start fighting using the power of
1:04:01
cheerleading. Yeah, they just fight back using
1:04:03
all kinds of cheerleading moves. It's so cheesy.
1:04:05
It's cheesy, but honestly, that's what I want from this
1:04:08
movie. Yeah, it nails it's dramatic
1:04:10
fight scenes. It's right.
1:04:11
It's right for what they needed right here.
1:04:13
And this is where we have Demi Lovato start playing.
1:04:16
Yeah, so they they defeat them temporarily run away, they run
1:04:20
into a room and find Evan's body all hung up.
1:04:22
Yeah, that's not great. So then they run the other way
1:04:25
and they wind up in a dead end like.
1:04:28
Like an outside. Yeah, like a courtyard type
1:04:30
situation, but it's walled in. So they realized that it's far
1:04:34
enough that they could basket toss somebody up to the roof.
1:04:37
So the only person they can use is Abby because Reagans hurt and
1:04:42
Jackie is not like flyer size. Yeah, so they Addie has to get
1:04:47
over her fear of heights and they do it and she gets up there
1:04:50
and throws down the rope and they only a.
1:04:52
Rope at the top up there, already tied to something and.
1:04:55
I love it. That she was even like this is
1:04:57
weird, whatever. So convenient.
1:05:02
And so she throws the rope down and they're all climbing up.
1:05:05
Mateo is the last one up. And then Edie comes down.
1:05:08
She's grabbing the rope from the other end and trying to pull him
1:05:10
down and she. Lassoed him with another rope,
1:05:14
his ankle. Yeah.
1:05:15
Is that what happened? Yeah, she like lassoed his ankle
1:05:18
and it's like pulling him down. I don't know how the fuck that
1:05:20
happened it. Seems like Evie might have been
1:05:23
the better twin to be in the cheerleading team.
1:05:26
I know that's why she was so jealous.
1:05:28
Man. Yeah, so she's like pulling
1:05:31
Mateo down and then. Abby jumps down.
1:05:34
Yeah. Not hurting herself somehow.
1:05:36
Somehow, and she's fighting her and she ends up slicing her
1:05:39
throat and yeah, it's a it's a sharp shovel every time.
1:05:45
Every shovel does forever and ever.
1:05:47
I won't just now think of never hike alone.
1:05:50
Oh yeah, that's an effective weapon.
1:05:51
Yeah, so they're, you know, thinking that they're all good.
1:05:55
They're walking along the roof. They're ready to go back to the
1:05:58
bus. Jackie and Reagan kiss and they
1:06:03
see the bus. They use their rope to climb
1:06:06
down, but the edge of the building is apparently serrated
1:06:09
and it cuts through the rope and.
1:06:13
Abby's the last. One Abby's the last one, and
1:06:15
they stand 50 feet from the edge of the school.
1:06:18
And they're like jumping charms. We gotcha, fine, we gotcha.
1:06:22
And then Paige is like, ah, you killed my queen.
1:06:26
And so Abby jumps down, except she doesn't actually jump down.
1:06:29
She does a trust ball, which is an even bolder move with how far
1:06:33
they are standing away from the school.
1:06:36
Yeah, it's just bad for him all around, but so bad, you know
1:06:40
what? Despite the reality of the
1:06:42
positioning of everything here, they catch her.
1:06:44
Yeah, she's OK. She survives.
1:06:46
And they get on the bus and then the bus driver is trying to be
1:06:49
philosophical and they're like, no, you don't understand.
1:06:51
We really need to go. But it gives enough time for
1:06:54
Paige to shoot him. Yep.
1:06:56
So Abby is like, fuck it, I'm driving this bus.
1:06:59
She drives towards Paige Page ducks under the bus and doesn't
1:07:02
get hit. And they're like.
1:07:03
She's so dumb though, she's like ha ha you missed me.
1:07:06
So they just throw it in reverse, back over her and then
1:07:09
run over her again. Yep, she's done.
1:07:12
Yeah, One year later, we see the Green Knights perform, and then
1:07:18
we see the Diablos come out to a big pop.
1:07:20
Yeah, this must have been like insane news, news coverage, and
1:07:25
everybody was just like real excited to see this team.
1:07:28
The way that this is all shy, it reminded me so much of that
1:07:32
episode of It's Always Sunny where they're like doing the
1:07:34
freedom, like everybody like the same reaction.
1:07:39
It was like the same crowd reactions.
1:07:41
And they don't even, like, bring all of the teams out to do the,
1:07:45
like, the announcements for the winners.
1:07:49
They're just like, all right, Diablo's win and everybody's
1:07:53
cheering and Principle Simmons not in any kind of disguises up
1:07:56
there. And it's like crossing out all
1:07:59
of the surviving cheerleaders faces.
1:08:01
Yeah. So about the.
1:08:01
Pamphlet or brochure or whatever.
1:08:02
I'm just like, Yep. So there's room for a sequel.
1:08:05
There is room for a sequel. Room for a sequel.
1:08:07
And then we we got to credits and we just see them all
1:08:09
practicing. Yeah, which I thought that was
1:08:10
kind of cool to see all of the the work that went into, you
1:08:14
know, trying to get this stuff down.
1:08:15
A lot of like warm up exercises that I am, I'm so intimately
1:08:20
familiar with, including the ones where they go out there in
1:08:24
freestyle. Yeah, that's one that we
1:08:26
actually did a lot to help us loosen up and get did.
1:08:30
You freestyle really interesting.
1:08:33
I can see where your freestyle was.
1:08:35
Awkward. Yeah, I see.
1:08:37
See where I was seeing them do that.
1:08:38
I was like, that's my nightmare. Like I don't, I don't thrust me
1:08:41
in front of everybody and make me dance.
1:08:43
Yeah, I can. The whole point is to like
1:08:45
loosen you up and get you in like performance mode and
1:08:48
confident and all of that, but OK.
1:08:51
But yeah. That's it, all right, that's the
1:08:53
movie. I'm gonna keep it at 7:00.
1:08:55
This movie is exactly what I wanted it to be.
1:08:57
It felt like a bring it on movie.
1:08:58
It felt like a sci-fi horror movie.
1:09:02
It was a sci-fi bring it on horror movie and it worked.
1:09:06
The way you say that and you make a song, it's also science
1:09:08
fiction, sci-fi, the network. Yeah.
1:09:13
Yeah, I'm keeping mine at 5 1/2, but I agree it like it is good
1:09:19
at what it does. It's a fun twist on the the
1:09:23
franchise for sure. I I haven't like an entertaining
1:09:26
time with a. Absolutely, Talia.
1:09:30
Talia was having a pretty good time with it too.
1:09:31
Sorry. She's very playful.
1:09:33
She was just, she was into it. She likes watching the the
1:09:38
dancing and cheerleading and docu series and whatnot with me.
1:09:41
She says that she's an athlete and she has trained herself to
1:09:44
not get hurt. And we say absolutely not.
1:09:49
Yeah. So Talia gives us 10. 10 OK.
1:09:55
Zoe's ultimate warrior. Well, that's a that's a tough
1:10:02
one. I think Zoe's ultimate warrior
1:10:07
would probably be Sydney. Cause like having that moment of
1:10:13
like, it's weird that there's something on my fight.
1:10:17
This is a distraction. I think it's more like the being
1:10:20
afraid to pee alone cuz anytime Zoe goes back to the litter box
1:10:23
fire. She's like, she's like, I want
1:10:25
you guys to know that I am back here in case anything happens.
1:10:28
Body system. Hello.
1:10:32
Hello. Yeah, she goes a full.
1:10:35
Olivia Hussey in Black Christmas.
1:10:37
Hello. Hello.
1:10:40
Hello. OK.
1:10:44
OK, what? What would Don do?
1:10:54
That's what he would do well, I think.
1:11:03
I think he would understand the whole thing about it being
1:11:06
family. I think, OK, I think this is
1:11:09
going to be a very hops heavy one cuz maybe his daughter, she
1:11:17
stopped with the soccer, went into cheerleading.
1:11:19
This is a spin off. Dom is not involved in this one.
1:11:22
This is a Hops and Shaw. Film, yes, yes, absolutely.
1:11:25
And Deckard is like shit. I've got I've got a third
1:11:31
sibling, you guys. Yeah.
1:11:32
I shouldn't tell you about Elizabeth before.
1:11:35
He's a cheerleader. Yeah, he's a male cheerleader.
1:11:37
He's. He's a walking man, yeah.
1:11:42
He's not given the respect he deserves.
1:11:45
Yeah, so like, his daughter is a cheerleader and his brother is
1:11:50
also a cheerleader. And then Queenie is just there
1:11:52
as a judge. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:11:57
Vin Diesel is none the wiser. To any of this, Yeah, he's just
1:12:00
like he is just currently living with Letty and his baby.
1:12:05
Yeah. I don't know what the what age
1:12:08
the baby would be at this point. I don't know either.
1:12:12
They're still at the dam right now.
1:12:14
They got to figure. That, yeah, that's true.
1:12:15
That's true. They're they're dealing with a
1:12:17
lot right now. Yeah.
1:12:19
OK. Who did you relate to?
1:12:22
Well, let's see. God, I don't know.
1:12:29
There's not a lot of people in this movie that I related to.
1:12:32
You gotta find something. Our way to Danny, because follow
1:12:42
your heart, OK Yeah. Or move on, whatever you need.
1:12:47
Yeah, just. Do do what?
1:12:49
What it feels right. Yeah, OK.
1:12:52
I guess I probably, I'm probably really tabby because I've had
1:13:00
that Co captain like come on guys, we can do this.
1:13:07
OK. OK, dream sequel.
1:13:10
All right, well, well, they won regionals.
1:13:13
Let's take it to Nationals. OK, take it to nationals.
1:13:16
I want now that we're out of COVID and that everybody
1:13:19
listening to this has been convinced this is a good movie
1:13:21
and we need a sequel to it. They're more teams are going to
1:13:25
be involved. Yeah, the toros preferably.
1:13:27
I want them to be in the mix somewhere.
1:13:28
And one of the judges is just going to be a little cameo from
1:13:32
Kirsten Dunst. Oh my God, that would be great.
1:13:34
Or if you need anybody, you can get.
1:13:38
Helen Mirren. No faith.
1:13:45
Oh, Eliza Dishku. Yeah, yeah.
1:13:47
Yeah, Oh, what if she, she's like, she pops up and she's
1:13:55
like, I know how to handle meeting cheerleaders.
1:13:58
Oh, there we go. Yeah.
1:14:01
OK. Yeah, I mean, she has a bad ass.
1:14:03
Like she'll like help like down the villain in that movie.
1:14:06
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
1:14:08
And I want like more teams involved.
1:14:09
I want more like it. It seems like it's gonna be, you
1:14:13
know, either the Green Knights or the Toros or the Diablo's,
1:14:16
because those are like our top three performers or the Clovers
1:14:19
too. And I keep forgetting the
1:14:22
Clovers. I'm I'm the bad guys in the
1:14:24
first Bring It On movie. No, like everybody suspects it's
1:14:29
one of them. Yeah, until like halfway through
1:14:32
the movie. 1 of their main team team members guys.
1:14:38
What if the killer is like dressing as all of the mascots?
1:14:42
Oh, that's fun. Yeah, that's fun.
1:14:44
I think that would be cool, yeah.
1:14:46
I want the killer to start doing some cheerleading moves too to
1:14:49
kill him. That would be pretty cool too.
1:14:51
Because like, we had cheerleading moves to defeat him
1:14:52
in this one and I want cheerleading moves to kill them.
1:14:55
That's. OK, there we go.
1:14:58
We got something all. Right, I'm feeling it.
1:15:00
OK, What is a tagline? It's not even a new tagline,
1:15:03
It's just a tagline. What's a tagline?
1:15:06
Oh man, bring it on, cheer or die.
1:15:13
I'm still big red. I'm still big red.
1:15:19
Just throw it back to the to the original bring it on movie.
1:15:22
Yeah, that's not bad. Trying to fight that devil.
1:15:27
Or something like turning fingers in the spirits.
1:15:35
These, these fingers turn you into spirits.
1:15:39
You're dying by these fingers. These fingers are killing you.
1:15:42
You're turning into a spirit. I'm trying to get out there what
1:15:48
I'm going for. Help me mold this and this
1:15:50
something that actually works as a tagline.
1:16:03
Fuck it, let's just do the big red one.
1:16:05
Let's just do the big red one. We don't need to spend this much
1:16:07
time on this hold. On, hold on.
1:16:09
We're getting a good tagline for this.
1:16:11
This movie deserves a good tagline.
1:16:13
These aren't spirit fingers. These are.
1:16:16
Spirits. These are spirits.
1:16:19
Yeah, 'cause as in ghosts. I had to explain to you that's
1:16:25
what the first time I. Get it?
1:16:27
That's what I'm. Trying to do yeah, OK.
1:16:29
You didn't seem to believe me. I believe you.
1:16:32
I think that that works. I think that's a good one.
1:16:35
OK, that's what we'll do then. OK, unless you could think of a
1:16:39
different. One Nope.
1:16:40
OK, that's it. I I'm struggling myself.
1:16:42
I can't. I'm blinking entirely.
1:16:44
We're there. It's OK.
1:16:45
We got something. We got it OK.
1:16:48
I've got 2. I did 2 reviews.
1:16:51
I wasn't sure where you were going to land on this hold.
1:16:52
On what's the reviews? No, we always do the Internet
1:16:55
reviews first. I don't know why you have
1:16:57
forgotten the order of this suddenly.
1:16:58
I I don't know. I don't, I don't know.
1:17:04
And even though we both were more on the positive side, I
1:17:08
still have these are two ends of the same coin and I think it
1:17:14
will be interesting to read both of them.
1:17:17
So the first one is a three out of 10.
1:17:19
Should have been released on Disney Plus or not at all.
1:17:22
I'm gonna slasher movie kind of mood is late.
1:17:24
I watched New Year's Evil the night before last and to all a
1:17:27
good night. Shortly before that I decided to
1:17:29
pay a visit to the bread box because I noticed the two out of
1:17:31
the three locations that my town have were removed without
1:17:34
warning. Much to my surprise I saw that
1:17:36
they had Cheer or Die because I heard that it was supposed to
1:17:38
air on the sci-fi channel around Halloween.
1:17:40
This movie pretty much is pretty much a bloodless affair and is
1:17:43
so tame. That was some tinkering.
1:17:46
This could have easily obtained APG rating and premiered on
1:17:48
Disney Plus. This movie contains almost a
1:17:50
dozen death scenes, none of which are particularly
1:17:53
memorable, but I did find it odd that the killer brought a set of
1:17:56
throwing knives to fling occasionally.
1:18:00
This had the potential to be a decent time waster had they
1:18:03
added gallons of blood and some creativity, but this is barely a
1:18:05
horror film as it stands. Not, I mean, because it didn't
1:18:11
have gory deaths. Yeah, I think they still had
1:18:13
some creativity with it and you can have movies without a ton of
1:18:17
core and have a fun time. I still think it's a fun time
1:18:19
waster. Yeah, I think so too.
1:18:20
I mean, they like it, Yeah. It doesn't go hard.
1:18:23
But like, you know, I don't know if this is something that
1:18:25
Disney's really wanting to put out there.
1:18:28
Well here's the other end of this.
1:18:29
OK same coin. This is an 8 out of 10.
1:18:33
I came in watching this movie expecting nothing because of its
1:18:35
PG13 rating but it's honestly not that bad.
1:18:38
The killer motivation is understandable and the acting is
1:18:40
OK. The kills are not explicit but
1:18:42
still not appropriate for younger viewers.
1:18:44
This movie is almost like this movie is nothing like the
1:18:49
original bring it on franchise. It just feels like it uses its
1:18:51
name. Disagree, it's honestly a decent
1:18:54
movie and to me it was entertaining.
1:18:56
The first two acts were good and it kind of falls apart at the
1:18:58
end. I do like the Cheer or Die title
1:18:59
and it's a fun flick to come across by.
1:19:01
If you do cheer or are interested in cheer, I recommend
1:19:04
this movie to y'all and I disagree.
1:19:07
Like, none of the sequels to the original Bring It On feel like
1:19:12
the first Bring It On, but all six of the ones after 2000 feel
1:19:17
the same, this one included. Yeah.
1:19:19
I mean, like, I think the only thing that this one was really
1:19:21
missing was like strict like competition against another
1:19:24
team. Yeah, that's really the only
1:19:26
thing that was. Laughing.
1:19:27
And they even kind of try and hint at it with like.
1:19:30
With the Green Knight. Stuff with the Green Knights,
1:19:31
yeah, those are their rivals. Yeah, and like, it starts with
1:19:34
them competing against the mittens, with them competing
1:19:36
against them. It's just that's not the enemy
1:19:38
of the movie. The enemy of the movie is the
1:19:40
killer. Yes, exactly.
1:19:41
Which I guess you could have made the enemy the Green Knights
1:19:45
mascot, killing them. Can that be?
1:19:47
The ending to our sequel to this is that it really is.
1:19:50
Actually, all of the teams are trying to kill each other.
1:19:52
Yeah, that's yeah, like a fantastic point.
1:19:54
In that. I I like that.
1:19:57
Oh, it's the mascots for all of those teams.
1:20:00
And the mascots are sick of being ridiculed and they're
1:20:02
trying to get more parts, like more recognition, like the
1:20:05
cheerleaders. Get.
1:20:06
Something's happening. Here, there we go.
1:20:09
And that's it right there. That's the story.
1:20:12
Love it. Dude.
1:20:12
Hey Sci-fi. Call us.
1:20:15
Yeah, we're ready, clearly. We're ready to be called.
1:20:18
Up. Yeah, OK, well this might
1:20:21
surprise you, but I do have somebody that wrote us something
1:20:23
for this. Yay.
1:20:26
You might agree with this. It's cube saves.
1:20:27
Who says I was gonna? Ask it was cube saves.
1:20:30
Says not enough clovers in the atmosphere.
1:20:35
Yes, that's a fantastic review right there.
1:20:38
I love it. That is great.
1:20:40
Yeah, honestly, like this movie, it is worth the 349 rental fee.
1:20:46
Yeah, it's not bad if. You're at all interested.
1:20:49
It's worth it. If you have like a smidge of
1:20:51
interest, like it's not, it's not that bad.
1:20:55
Like you can like it's, it's what, what is $3 worth to you?
1:21:00
You know, or if you find this movie out in the wild like we
1:21:02
did, like we got it for like probably 2 bucks, you know?
1:21:07
Yeah, it is. It's a good time.
1:21:09
It's it's dumb fun. That's all it is.
1:21:11
We're going to be doing the exact opposite next week because
1:21:14
Travis has decided to. I chose violence.
1:21:18
Just yeah, he woke up one day and was like, you know what,
1:21:21
We've been getting along too well lately.
1:21:24
We're going to be talking about wrong turn 6.
1:21:28
This is also rental only. It is not worth whatever you're
1:21:31
going to pay to rent it from YouTube, Google TV, Fandango at
1:21:35
Home, Prime, or Apple TV. Just listen to us talk about it.
1:21:38
And that will probably still be traumatizing enough.
1:21:40
I know it will be traumatizing enough for me.
1:21:42
Yeah. I mean, we got to talk about
1:21:46
them, OK, and. I'm going to my moment of
1:21:50
violence will be choosing the remake when you're least
1:21:53
expecting. It I'm, I'm ready for it.
1:21:55
We'll do it. We'll like, we have that one on
1:21:58
DVD now, you know, like, I hate that movie, but we have it like,
1:22:03
come on, Like it's been a year since we've talked about Wrong
1:22:06
Turn. We want to talk about it again.
1:22:08
We need another Wrong Turn movie.
1:22:10
It's time. Even if it's six.
1:22:12
It's time for another Wrong Turn, OK?
1:22:16
We took a wrong turn away from the light of God.
1:22:22
I'm trying to fight this devil right now.
1:22:26
OK, well on that, I think we will go ahead and end this
1:22:29
episode then. All right, you can.
1:22:32
