  Speaker 1: What's up, and welcome to Movie Meltdown. I'm Brian, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on this exclusive Horror Club episode, we head back to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the Bastion to discuss a new horror movie, and in
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: true Meltdown fashion. And since we are specifically jumping into
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the young adult horror novel turned into film world, who
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: better to assess the situation than our resident YA horror enthusiast, Misty.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And yes, she has plenty to say about how this
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: movie fits into the YA horror world. Or doesn't. And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of course, as per usual, that also means Jay gets
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: roped into it. Which is awesome because as you probably know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: he always has his own special take on things. Plus,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: we usually get each other off track with some sort
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of ridiculous story. So if you're not already a member,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: obviously now is the time to join the Meltdown Horror Club,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: where you'll get to hear us say awesome things like this. Well,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, to carry over from the end of the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: last movie slash beginning of this movie, that is a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: lot of phone cord.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: There is one called Lights Out where they go to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a camp called Camp Nightwing. And it does have some
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of the same... She has a girl who's her former
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: best friend who's pissed at her for telling on her
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: for something, which is.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, with the camps that were like they were summer
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: camps where your where your parents would drop you off.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: This is 80s.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: This was in the 70s.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Day camps or stay in there.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: No, this was like at like when you got out
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: of school, like in the summer camp. You may have
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: been out of school for a whole week, and then
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: my parents took.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Me and dropped me off at camp.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Shipped you off.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: And I was there the entire fucking summer.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Those straws were a struggle. Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The struggle is real, man.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You actually poke all the way through. All the way through.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Or stab yourself with the pointy side of the straw.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Or you get a defective one that didn't have a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: fucking straw.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Or didn't have the hole punched through. So you're just
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: going straight through.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: You just had to fight it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: The barrels.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Squeeze it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And I was terrified I was going to get stuck
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and die underground.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Are we talking about like real spelunking or?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Like me having to crawl through holes. Okay, yeah, yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Which they discuss when they're in the tunnels and everything.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Which again, there's a Fear Street book where they're lost
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: in tunnels underneath the school. So that kind of ties
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: together too. They're underneath the tunnel. It's called Trapped. They're
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: under the school because they're in detention. So they're like, oh, well,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you hear back in the day there was this place
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: where kids used to hang out under the school. So
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to go get in these tunnels under the school.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And there's this red mist. You could use a boom box.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I was like, you know what my room doesn't have?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: A fucking boom box.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I liked these characters. I liked her. I liked the sister.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even the sister being the preppy wannabe girl that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: she is. You see, like, there's more there, and you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: see she is trying to put that behind her and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have some sort of life that most kids in this
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: town don't have.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And it's like, she doesn't even seem to fucking care,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: because she's got Sam, so everything's okay. I'm like, but
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: your fucking best friend just died. You don't care about
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that at all?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: There's a flashback for you if you listen to the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Sleepaway Camp episode. Where we bitched about Judy the whole
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: damn time.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Because Judy.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait, what is Judy? You know what?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I remember as a kid sweating my ass off in camp.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Because we were in these little cabins and they didn't
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: have AC. And it was fucking miserable. But they were like,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: you know what?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: You're a kid, so shut the fuck up.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty much how it works.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Stay in your sweaty ass cabin.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: All I can say is while we're still in the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: potty area. Sadie putting her head through the hole.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Is the most disturbing thing in this movie.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I saw a lot of kids die, but none of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that was near as disturbing as her. As long as
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: she got an axe to the head or something like that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I think everybody got an axe to the head.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the running thing on this one.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I was like, whoa, they are not blinking away from
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: killing kids, even less in this one.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: This was a generational thing. Every person that I know
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that is of the next wave and younger.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: You had cassette tapes and you kept them in the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: little the case. And of course, you could only like
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the one I had only fit like maybe 25 cassette tapes.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: And the problem is.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Because we leave the weird story part of it, like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: they're trying to piece together the story so much in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that first movie.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: We're here.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It's just her telling the story. There's no piecing it together.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It's not until we come back that they're like, ah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: so see, it was this and this. And then they
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: get back into that part of the piece and the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: whole overarching tale together. But once we're... Oh, yeah. That's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: another thing.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: We were talking about that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: They never explain why she has.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, they existed, but it seems unlikely they were there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I appreciated the body count in this movie. Because
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: they were not messing around.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Dead people, not my nitpicking on juice boxes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Not even just dead people. Dead kids.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Kids. Because they weren't even just going after the campers.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: They were going after all the kids from Shadyside.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I found the website for the camp that I used
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: to go to.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: They're still around.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And before the week was out, my sister was dead.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And they cut specifically to.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: When I was a kid at camp, I was so
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: hoping something like this would happen, but it never did.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Because you never came through. What?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Because you never came through.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: You didn't snap, finally.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, the funny thing is, I always got
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: in trouble at camp for making weapons.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: This doesn't surprise me, actually.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I always thought something was going to happen.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And you were going to have to defend the camp? No,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I was going to have to.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Defend yourself.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Fuck everybody else.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Defend yourself.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck about everybody else.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Fucking defend myself.
