• 0:13
  What's going on, everybody? We're back for the Not Cool in
• 0:15
  High School horror edition. Today we're going to be doing
• 0:18
  Smile 2, which is horror suspense from 2004.
• 0:22
  About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Sky
• 0:26
  Riley Naomi Scott begins experiencing increasingly
• 0:29
  terrifying and inexplainable events.
• 0:32
  Overwhelmed by Hold on, I got to hit more overwhelmed by
• 0:37
  escalating horrors and pressures of fame, Skyler's forced to face
• 0:40
  her dark past to regain control of her life at before it spirals
• 0:44
  out of control. So I will say this I I hate that
• 0:49
  it's turning blue like this. Why is the count anyway?
• 0:53
  So we we watched smile 1A while back.
• 0:56
  I'm I just had Lily rewatch it. We'll watch it herself to see
• 0:59
  how she thought of it and what she what she if she liked it.
• 1:03
  And what did you think? Did you enjoy it?
• 1:08
  Smile one. I I think it's a cool premise.
• 1:10
  I think it falls in the same vein for me as it follows.
• 1:15
  I think it follows out a really cool presence, a really cool
• 1:17
  idea or something different where there's like a chain and
• 1:21
  like it. It's going to keep going to you
• 1:23
  through a chain and then you're trying to figure out the rules
• 1:26
  or even if there are rules, how to defeat it or delay it or do
• 1:31
  any of that. But I like that.
• 1:34
  I like that you're trying to like, well, what if I did this
• 1:37
  scenario? Would it work with this scenario
• 1:38
  would work. And I think it makes the Smile
• 1:40
  franchise have a future of like wanting to see more because
• 1:45
  there could be creative ways of how to deal with it.
• 1:47
  Like everyone's like, well, just do this, this and this.
• 1:50
  I loved the first one up until a certain part.
• 1:53
  Unfortunately, I did not like the end.
• 1:56
  I thought the end was kind of weak.
• 1:58
  I didn't like that they showed the creature our demon or
• 2:01
  whatever it was. It looked weird, it looks
• 2:03
  stupid, it took me out of the movie.
• 2:05
  Everything up until that I loved.
• 2:08
  Some of the best marketing from a movie come from the smiles.
• 2:11
  Not as hard as in smile 2 is some smile one, but just people
• 2:14
  showing up at sporting events and stuff with the creepy smile.
• 2:20
  Awesome love it. I love how they did the
• 2:21
  cinematography in the first movie.
• 2:23
  First one up until the end is a great movie.
• 2:25
  I really liked it. I give it like a 3.5 or 4, maybe
• 2:29
  a 375 if I really want to protect that four.
• 2:31
  So I'm excited to see how Smile 2 does. 86 overall Rotten
• 2:35
  tomato, 81 popcorn. I don't know what that is on
• 2:37
  Voodoo, maybe Fandango reviews, but I'm going to watch the
• 2:41
  trailer real quick. I'll be back momentarily.
• 2:43
  I don't know. I have never seen any trailers,
• 2:45
  anything about Smile 2, so I'm going into this completely cold.
• 2:48
  This is the first time watching it for me and I'll be back in a
• 2:51
  moment after I watch the trailer.
• 2:54
  All right, we're back. Trailer looks awesome.
• 2:57
  So this one's a little different because it's coming from like a
• 2:59
  pop sensation. So someone who's really popular,
• 3:02
  famous in the limelight. Hard to hide from people when
• 3:05
  you're famous and popular. Will it be chalked up to those
• 3:09
  they're being famous and crazy or I don't know.
• 3:12
  I'm excited. They already said that show the
• 3:14
  trailer that there's a possible like maybe suicide where you
• 3:19
  bring your back with self with adrenaline type deal, where
• 3:22
  maybe you can beat it that way. So there's some elements to this
• 3:24
  that maybe they found a way to beat it or something.
• 3:27
  I don't know. I'm I'm excited for it.
• 3:29
  I think it's a cool take on it. I think certain horror movies, I
• 3:33
  think they try to get their one and done's and that's fine.
• 3:35
  And then some people the franchise to get bled out too,
• 3:38
  too long. This is one that I can watch
• 3:41
  different versions of it. I want to see how these play out
• 3:43
  more. I want to see how these progress
• 3:46
  if if smile got up to fucking 37.
• 3:49
  As long as they stay creative. I think the premise stands for
• 3:53
  itself. It's kind of like the purge.
• 3:55
  I can watch a million purge movies because there's so many
• 3:57
  different stories you can tell with the Purge or with inside
• 4:00
  the Purge universe that I think it holds true.
• 4:03
  It's not like it's one entity or being like a Michael Myers or a
• 4:07
  Freddy Krueger. It's it's continuous.
• 4:09
  There's no, it does like the pattern sequence and yeah,
• 4:13
  there's it's really limitless, which I like.
• 4:15
  So I'm excited to see this. It's going to be a two hour and
• 4:18
  7 minute movie. So I'm pumped for that.
• 4:21
  We have all weekend to stay in and really do nothing.
• 4:23
  So I'm going to watch a whole bunch of movies.
• 4:25
  The next one on the list will be Wolfman.
• 4:27
  I'll be watching that next for a knock on high school horror.
• 4:30
  So I'm going to try to keep these bi weekly for as long as I
• 4:33
  can. But because views are down I I'm
• 4:36
  I'm using a editing software that I'm not 100% comfortable
• 4:40
  with yet because cap cut is unusable on my computer.
• 4:44
  It lags too much and I don't want to pay for Adobe because it
• 4:47
  just the channel's not where it needs to be to grow to keep
• 4:51
  dumping more money into it for stuff to see if it works.
• 4:54
  I may be switching over to more of a vlogging style channel or a
• 4:59
  live streaming game streaming channel and then just doing the
• 5:02
  podcast, maybe bi weekly where I just put out an episode, whether
• 5:05
  it's an interview or whether it's a 5 questions or whether
• 5:08
  it's something along those lines of what we do with the cameras.
• 5:10
  I still want to use them in film and do vlogging and stuff, but I
• 5:14
  just feel like trying to get guests and trying to do all this
• 5:16
  other stuff. It's just, it's, it's tough to
• 5:18
  maintain, especially when it doesn't get a lot of views or
• 5:20
  plays or, but you know, it's, it's, it's tough.
• 5:22
  I've been consistent for a long time.
• 5:24
  I feel like if it hasn't happened already, it maybe not.
• 5:27
  It's going to, but so I'm going to learn more into just having
• 5:30
  fun with it and doing it when I can.
• 5:32
  And just content is something I'm attached to.
• 5:35
  But it's not the end all, be all.
• 5:36
  You know, I have a job now. I'm making good money.
• 5:40
  Will I become rich and famous and retire?
• 5:42
  Probably not. Probably going to be poor the
• 5:43
  rest of my life. But all the at least with the
• 5:45
  job and keeping the focus with the job and not trying to chase
• 5:48
  this content thing and have realistic goals, I can live
• 5:52
  comfortably with myself and Lily and and have fun and just enjoy
• 5:56
  life and make content when I can.
• 5:58
  But unless smile gets me and then you know it's all over, I'm
• 6:02
  dead meat. But we're going to go on Smile
• 6:05
  too. See you guys soon.
• 6:06
  Also quick shout out to Lily in the new background, new shelves.
• 6:09
  We're going to be changing a lot.
• 6:10
  We're going to be getting more bookshelves and stacking things
• 6:13
  up and getting more collectibles to put on the shelves.
• 6:17
  Because here's one thing that's super dope with Lily.
• 6:20
  She's also a collector like me, and she also likes to add to the
• 6:24
  collection. So now she's into like, I want
• 6:26
  this horror thing or this Funko Pop or I want this wrestler for
• 6:30
  the collection to put in there. So we're both addicts.
• 6:33
  That's pretty fun. That's going to be a lot of cool
• 6:35
  to add new things. We also talked about getting
• 6:36
  Funko Pops because we're going to take the girls as it goes so
• 6:39
  see more more movies. So we have to get Funko Pops for
• 6:42
  Wicked and now Snow White because we went to there.
• 6:45
  I don't know if the girls will be involved in the horror movies
• 6:48
  anytime soon. Give them a couple more years
• 6:51
  unless you have a horror movie that we could watch for kids.
• 6:53
  Put it in the comments. Maybe it entered.
• 6:55
  I I think Goosebumps would be a good one.
• 6:58
  I still haven't watched goosebumps.
• 6:59
  I think there's a Jack Black one there.
• 7:01
  I think we could watch. I think that's a good
• 7:02
  introductory horror. I don't it has to be a horror
• 7:06
  movie that they can watch with us and spend the night.
• 7:08
  So shout out, they're, they're 11:00 and 12:11 and 12:00, but
• 7:13
  they're very innocent, pure 11 and 12 year olds, 11 and 12.
• 7:16
  By the time I've seen The Exorcist, I've seen Evil Dead.
• 7:20
  I, I, I was desensitized. Yeah, they were, yeah, they're,
• 7:23
  they're very sheltered. They're, they're still, they're
• 7:26
  still very much kids, which I'm not about to change that anytime
• 7:30
  soon. So I think that's a dope feature
• 7:31
  they have, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know, I don't want
• 7:34
  to warp their brains yet with excessive horror.
• 7:37
  Yeah. So let them.
• 7:38
  Well, they'll, they'll the second day embark in their hard
• 7:41
  journey. Trust me, y'all will be here
• 7:43
  watching it with us. Maybe we'll even film their
• 7:46
  first horror movie when they get old enough.
• 7:47
  That with their reactions. Because I think Katie's a very,
• 7:51
  very reactive person and very entertaining with her reacting.
• 7:55
  Elena's just, she's like me. Almost like she's like cool
• 8:00
  animated. Katie's very animated.
• 8:04
  When I say like me, it's not like I'm like, oh, she's like
• 8:07
  me. I would know.
• 8:07
  But just, I think personality wise, I think I align myself
• 8:10
  more with Elena. We're very much both of them.
• 8:13
  But Elena would like to just chill, like, all right, whatever
• 8:15
  happens, happens. Yeah.
• 8:17
  And Katie's like, she's like you or she's like, overdramatic and
• 8:20
  like, Oh my God, did you see that?
• 8:22
  And then this, like, it's cute. I like it.
• 8:25
  But yeah. So if we do watch horror movie,
• 8:27
  it should be fun to have a visual of her jumpscares and
• 8:31
  stuff. But that's like way down the
• 8:33
  line. But also horror movies that you
• 8:35
  want us to talk about a review or go check out.
• 8:37
  Please put them in the comments below.
• 8:38
  And I'm going to watch it and then we'll be back very soon to
• 8:42
  let you know what I thought of it.
• 8:53
  We're back. Watch the movie.
• 8:57
  I fucking liked it. I liked it a lot.
• 8:59
  I will say this, the fucking monster.
• 9:03
  They got to figure something out with that goddamn thing anyway.
• 9:07
  Yeah, it was really good. So it this thing, there's no
• 9:13
  rules. You don't know what's reality,
• 9:15
  what's not reality. It gets your it gets you feel
• 9:18
  like you think you know what you're watching and you don't.
• 9:20
  The first one did a really good job of that as well, where you
• 9:24
  thought you seen what you thought what was really
• 9:25
  happening, and it wasn't. And stuff like that.
• 9:28
  I, I don't know. It was really good.
• 9:30
  I really liked it. The gore was good.
• 9:31
  The death scenes are good. I like, I don't know, it's a
• 9:34
  mental fuck, I think. I think smile too nailed it.
• 9:38
  I it might be better than the original.
• 9:41
  I don't know. It's tough.
• 9:44
  I'm conflicted. I'd have to I'd have to go back
• 9:46
  and kind of really remember, but I really like this one.
• 9:48
  I kind of when it was going down at the end, I kind of predicted
• 9:53
  what I think what was going to happen.
• 9:55
  So I kind of nailed that, but predicted it all the way
• 10:00
  through. Huh.
• 10:01
  What? You predicted it all the way.
• 10:03
  Yeah, but I mean, like, the way it was going to end.
• 10:06
  How like the main part, the plot twist.
• 10:09
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:10
  So like, I don't know. I really liked it.
• 10:11
  I I definitely enjoy. I thought the girl who played
• 10:14
  the main girl, she was the pink Power Ranger.
• 10:17
  She was in a bunch of different stuff.
• 10:20
  What? Naomi Scott.
• 10:21
  Yeah. I thought she was excellent.
• 10:22
  I thought it's pretty much the only one that really stood out.
• 10:27
  Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I watched a lot of movies today.
• 10:30
  I think she's the only one who really stood out to me when it
• 10:32
  came to the acting. I thought everyone did a good
• 10:34
  job, but she she definitely killed it.
• 10:36
  She was really, really good. Good scream queen.
• 10:38
  She kind of reminds me of like, like like she could be a young
• 10:42
  Jamie Lee Curtis. I think if she stays in horror,
• 10:45
  I think she has a good horror face.
• 10:46
  I think she has a good scream. I don't know.
• 10:48
  I'm really, I like it a lot. So I want to I want to say real
• 10:52
  quick trying to think what else I'm trying to trying to say
• 10:55
  before I go into spoilers with this movie.
• 11:00
  I can't really think of anything at the moment.
• 11:03
  Yeah, I'll just for him on out. We'll be spoilers.
• 11:05
  So if you haven't seen the movie yet, turn this off, come back
• 11:09
  later or if you don't care, it's going to spoil a little bit.
• 11:12
  I thought it was excellent. The ending was really good.
• 11:15
  The fact that like now it's this creature feels like it may be
• 11:20
  getting found out by somebody else of like, hey, this is the
• 11:23
  way to beat me is by, you know, letting him stop your heart and
• 11:27
  come back to life. There's too many people may be
• 11:30
  finding out our game. So I need to mass spread.
• 11:33
  So let's pick. Let's get a pop icon that kind
• 11:36
  of fell onto our lap and let's do our thing in front of a full
• 11:41
  sold out concert, which is bonkers to think about.
• 11:46
  South Smile 3 is a now a global threat.
• 11:49
  This thing essentially has grasped millions, whether you
• 11:55
  know, not millions, but thousands of people, which is
• 11:58
  kind of creepy. Trying to think of the spoiler
• 12:02
  alert, like, yeah, the the whole like every time the creature
• 12:06
  would show up, man, it was just done really, really well in this
• 12:08
  one, like the with the ex-girlfriend or best friend,
• 12:12
  the the making you think. I think movies that make the
• 12:16
  lead actor seem as if they're not credible and crazy and not
• 12:21
  mentally well is scarier than the monster itself where you
• 12:25
  don't like you're like, fuck, no one's going to believe me and
• 12:28
  they're going to think I'm crazy.
• 12:29
  I think it's such a good trope done in Smile.
• 12:33
  That definitely resonates with me.
• 12:35
  I like when horror movies do that because it's has a blend of
• 12:39
  reality of like, fuck, like I can't open up and tell anybody.
• 12:43
  And this creature or demon or possession thing.
• 12:46
  It's just so smart. It's so good at what it does.
• 12:49
  It's such a good character. It just looks fucking stupid.
• 12:52
  It looks dumb. I hate it.
• 12:54
  I hate the way it fucking looks. The big long fucking Cloverfield
• 12:57
  body with the big fucking creepy.
• 12:59
  Hate it, fucking hate it. Everything else is fucking
• 13:03
  dynamite. I love every other aspect of
• 13:05
  this movie. I love the way it's done, the
• 13:07
  way it's shot. It's just it's a great.
• 13:09
  I'm going to give smile to a 375.
• 13:13
  I'm not giving it a four. I'm not.
• 13:16
  I think it could deserve the four, but I'm protecting it.
• 13:18
  I'm protecting God goddamn 4 because you just don't give them
• 13:21
  away. So 37535 still a fantastic
• 13:25
  movie. I definitely recommend you go
• 13:27
  see it. The next horror movie on the
• 13:29
  list will be Wolfman. I'm not watching it tonight.
• 13:31
  I'm taking a break from movies and I will watch it tomorrow.
• 13:35
  And but it doesn't matter to you.
• 13:37
  It'll be two weeks before this airs.
