- 2:18Speaker 1: changed the lighting a bit, it's a little bit less harsh,
- 2:20Speaker 1: except for that one. Gotta figure out what to do
- 2:22Speaker 1: with that. But yeah, I like the LEDs everywhere. I'm
- 2:25Speaker 1: going orange for October. I can have like a whole
- 2:28Speaker 1: array of things. I can change it too, fancy pants.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Big boy remote too. I know normally you just get
- 2:34Speaker 2: the light. I know it came from Amazon. I was like,
- 2:37Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
- 2:37Speaker 1: It's got like twenty seven or twenty four colors, it's
- 2:40Speaker 1: got fading and you know, if you want to have
- 2:42Speaker 1: a seizure real quick, you can make the lights of dance.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not doing all that. That's too much.
- 2:46Speaker 2: You can you can take the raver away from the rave,
- 2:50Speaker 2: but you can never.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Take never follow me every yeah, follows me everywhere. But yeah,
- 2:55Speaker 1: there's been some new additions to the studio too. I've
- 2:57Speaker 1: got this little uh tripod slash ring light for making TikTok,
- 3:02Speaker 1: so it points right at Sam and gets Jason in
- 3:05Speaker 1: the background and then also gets some of my Blu
- 3:07Speaker 1: rays and then over there where you're sitting, I added
- 3:09Speaker 1: a little clamp for a phone and a light so
- 3:11Speaker 1: I can take pictures of my new screen factory releases
- 3:13Speaker 1: over there. So I've got all these new little places
- 3:16Speaker 1: in the studio. It's only taken forever. But and now
- 3:20Speaker 1: since I've got so I got these two new things.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw those, but now I
- 3:23Speaker 1: have all this room above these because the other ones
- 3:25Speaker 1: I had were taller and oh yeah, and these are
- 3:27Speaker 1: a little bit shorter, and I'm like, no, I gotta
- 3:29Speaker 1: put posters up there, but frames are so fucking expense expensive.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I gotta wait till Joe and is like, boy, I
- 3:34Speaker 1: wouldn't get one free, and I'm like, that's when I
- 3:36Speaker 1: hop on that shit, but slowly but surely this is
- 3:39Speaker 1: coming together. I think I'm gonna get some foam to
- 3:40Speaker 1: go up top as well, but it's definitely coming together.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Hanging memorabilia from the ceiling.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna get those things I saw on TikTok.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Of course, there are candles that are controlled by remote
- 3:51Speaker 1: that you just hang from fishing wires, so it'll look
- 3:53Speaker 1: like fucking hogwarts up in this bitch with floating candles.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I figured you would do like chains all lie hell
- 4:00Speaker 2: razor and hang stuff from that. I do have shapes.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Je fucking prop master over here, Jesus, now, I know.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I was thinking about it. I was like, I have
- 4:13Speaker 1: like three or four of these. I'm like, can I
- 4:15Speaker 1: just hang these from the ceiling out razor style? Maybe
- 4:17Speaker 1: maybe had some big fake hooks to them.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Yeah, do that. I can totally do that. Or you
- 4:23Speaker 2: could like put wire around it and like hang I
- 4:26Speaker 2: don't know, take a few things, take a few funkos
- 4:29Speaker 2: out and hang them from the neck or something. Just
- 4:31Speaker 2: have fun with it.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I know Fred is usually up there in the corner,
- 4:33Speaker 1: but since it's spooky season, I have him in my
- 4:35Speaker 1: car to freak out anybody that I drive past. I
- 4:38Speaker 1: was like where is yeah, and then this, and then
- 4:39Speaker 1: saying with the skeleton, we had to use him for
- 4:41Speaker 1: the front. Oh were the lights on when you pulled up?
- 4:45Speaker 2: I don't think some of them.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Okay, I'll put them on free leave. We're doing Camp

- 5:05Speaker 2: with it. I ordered it. It was like twenty nine bucks.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, it'll probably be like a handheld one

- 7:10Speaker 1: just take one and then you know, do the thing.
- 7:12Speaker 1: I don't want to scare the kids, but you know,
- 7:14Speaker 1: I want to know.
- 7:15Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta induce just a little bit of
- 7:17Speaker 2: Halloween trauma just a little bit, like like like they

- 7:32Speaker 1: gonna trick you into thinking that it's a well. I
- 7:34Speaker 1: also have to fill up my sleeves and stuff to
- 7:37Speaker 1: kind of puff myself out to make it look like
- 7:39Speaker 1: I'm a scarecrow because I don't know if I could
- 7:41Speaker 1: pull it off just sitting there. I don't know what
- 7:43Speaker 1: to put a hoodie on under it?
- 7:45Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah that'll work really.

- 7:55Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit, you know. Uh So that
- 8:00Speaker 1: should be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to
- 8:02Speaker 1: Halloween this year as I am every year. Now that
- 8:04Speaker 1: I have kids to give candy too, It's a whole
- 8:06Speaker 1: different world when kids come to your door. Because in
- 8:08Speaker 1: my old neighborhood with my parents, like after a while
- 8:11Speaker 1: all the kids in that neighborhood grew up and left.
- 8:13Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, no one's trigger treating. And I
- 8:15Speaker 1: got really, you know, I got sad. I was like
- 8:17Speaker 1: going to hand out candy because I'm too old to
- 8:18Speaker 1: go trigger treating. I got turned down the last year
- 8:20Speaker 1: I went trigger trading because they were like, you're too old.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I was like, fuck, you just give me candy. Everyone's
- 8:25Speaker 1: there to get candy.
- 8:26Speaker 2: You gotta go to Balden Park or celebration. Celebration really
- 8:30Speaker 2: oh yeah, really right outside of Disney Bro. Like if
- 8:34Speaker 2: you catch it at just the right time, the right
- 8:36Speaker 2: section neighborhood, they'll hand you like dollar bills. That sounds
- 8:39Speaker 2: about right.
- 8:40Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think we're that fancy here, but
- 8:43Speaker 1: that sounds about right. Oh yeah, you know what, now
- 8:45Speaker 1: that you mentioned that, I think I saw something last
- 8:47Speaker 1: year where they have maybe not Celebration, but out that
- 8:49Speaker 1: way they have this one street that has like this
- 8:52Speaker 1: insane light show with this one. I think that might
- 8:54Speaker 1: be out there somewhere. I saw the video of it.
- 8:56Speaker 1: They do like the uh music to all the lights
- 8:59Speaker 1: and shit. They Yeah, I don't know how people do that.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do that until I looked into
- 9:03Speaker 1: it and I was like, there's no way, No, there
- 9:05Speaker 1: is no way. You have to be a fucking brilliant
- 9:08Speaker 1: bastard to do that that or you have to pay
- 9:10Speaker 1: some money. Yeah, you have to literally code everything, you
- 9:13Speaker 1: have to time everything, do the sinking yourself.
- 9:15Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's no, I can't do that.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I was gonna try that, but yeah, no, no, it's
- 9:20Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. It is not like a oh, let me
- 9:22Speaker 1: go on YouTube and learn this. No, you have to
- 9:24Speaker 1: be really good, which way to be sad?
- 9:26Speaker 2: I was like, damn it.
- 9:27Speaker 1: But yeah, we usually go all out every year. Now
- 9:30Speaker 1: that we have a house in the front yard, we
- 9:31Speaker 1: kind of do it bigger and better each year. But
- 9:33Speaker 1: it sucks because we set the bar so high last year.
- 9:36Speaker 1: People are like they were literally coming by our house
- 9:38Speaker 1: before while we were decorated, like.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait to see what you've got. I'm like, yeah, yeah, pressure.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I vaguely remember it last year, but I do remember
- 9:47Speaker 2: being like, oh, okay.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty much just throw a bunch of lights
- 9:50Speaker 1: on the porch, a bunch of pumpkins, a couple of skeletons,
- 9:52Speaker 1: and then those little projector lamps.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Good to go. I'm just I'm just waiting for you
- 9:57Speaker 2: all to become like the Halloween inflatable people. No, we
- 10:01Speaker 2: know we are.
- 10:02Speaker 1: We are standing against the like maybe like one or two,
- 10:05Speaker 1: but like, there's dude, there's a one house on the
- 10:07Speaker 1: corner that has like five in the front yard, two
- 10:10Speaker 1: on their patio on the second deck, and then one
- 10:12Speaker 1: leaning over their fence. I'm like, guys, what about what.
- 10:15Speaker 2: About a fifteen foot tall skeleton?
- 10:17Speaker 1: I would love to do that, but I don't know
- 10:19Speaker 1: if I don't know if this neighborhood was like, I
- 10:21Speaker 1: don't know if they're cool with it. They're kind of
- 10:23Speaker 1: picky with things. But there is that that person does
- 10:26Speaker 1: have that fifteen foot fucking you saw the pumpkin when
- 10:28Speaker 1: you drove? Oh yeah yeah, things like fifteen feet. So
- 10:30Speaker 1: I'm sure I could get away with the skeleton, which
- 10:32Speaker 1: I might buy next year because that would be the
- 10:35Speaker 1: coolest thing, especially being on the corner and shit like that.
- 10:37Speaker 2: So oh yeah. And then and then what you do
- 10:40Speaker 2: is you get like two two by fours and you
- 10:42Speaker 2: nail them together, and then you sharp sharpen one of
- 10:44Speaker 2: the edges and you put the up in through the skeleton,
- 10:48Speaker 2: so it looks like it's on a giant spikee oh.
- 10:49Speaker 1: My god, that would be fucking epic. Okay, if I
- 10:52Speaker 1: get the skeleton, I'm gonna hire you and you will come.
- 10:55Speaker 1: You will come help and we'll make this thing crazy.
- 10:57Speaker 1: But yeah, I've I've always wanted that skeleton since I
- 10:59Speaker 1: saw the first time. So do you normally have trigger Well,
- 11:04Speaker 1: you're okay, you're so yeah, you're not at your parents anymore,
- 11:07Speaker 1: but you're down the street, so.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Do you I'm not down I'm like a few miles
- 11:10Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, close though, yeah, same zip code? Do
- 11:16Speaker 2: you have trigger treaters that that? Did you? Were you
- 11:18Speaker 2: there last year? For how? I was okay? Uh so yes,
- 11:23Speaker 2: But also no, because I don't turn my light on
- 11:26Speaker 2: because first off, there are so many children, Like, there's
- 11:32Speaker 2: a lot of fucking kids in my neighborhood and they're
- 11:37Speaker 2: loud yah the time. But see, the thing is is
- 11:43Speaker 2: like they're loud in a circle of like two story
- 11:48Speaker 2: town homes, so it just bounces everywhere. No, So last
- 11:54Speaker 2: year I didn't turn my light on, so they shouldn't
- 11:57Speaker 2: have come to my door. And for like a solid
- 11:59Speaker 2: two hour, it was like really, yeah, and I just
- 12:03Speaker 2: ignored it.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Who's raising these kids? You don't go to a porch
- 12:06Speaker 1: where the light's not on?
- 12:08Speaker 2: No, Okay, so here's the thing. Maybe they thought it
- 12:10Speaker 2: was broken. No, So here's the thing. These kids. I
- 12:14Speaker 2: don't know what's wrong with kids today. Dang' afraid of nothing? Really, man,
- 12:20Speaker 2: There's this one kid that is so trying to be
- 12:24Speaker 2: on a first name basis with me. He just wants
- 12:27Speaker 2: to be my friend and I am not having it.
- 12:30Speaker 2: He is like nine years old. He was walking by
- 12:34Speaker 2: one day and he like shot me with a squirre
- 12:37Speaker 2: gun and then he's like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm like, nah,
- 12:39Speaker 2: it's cool, it's whatever. So he kept shooting me with it,
- 12:43Speaker 2: and I didn't like shoe him away. So now every
- 12:46Speaker 2: time he sees me, he's like, hey, what's up, man, Yo,
- 12:48Speaker 2: check out this rock? And I'm like, yeah, that's cool, man,
- 12:52Speaker 2: swagg I gotta go. So, like, I know, he was
- 12:57Speaker 2: one of the ones that was knocking on my door man,
- 13:00Speaker 2: And then I found some cats once and I gave
- 13:04Speaker 2: them back, and then the little girl was super nice
- 13:07Speaker 2: to me, So I'm pretty sure she knocked on my
- 13:09Speaker 2: door too. But like my fucking candy, Yeah, my candy.
- 13:14Speaker 2: I want to hand the candy out me and I'm
- 13:16Speaker 2: not I'm not in a handing out candy tax bracket
- 13:19Speaker 2: right now.
- 13:20Speaker 1: It's shipped, dude. It's so expensive too. We would just
- 13:22Speaker 1: buy a bag and I was like fifteen bucks for
- 13:24Speaker 1: like sixty pieces with.
- 13:25Speaker 2: The ship that I'm await this. I'm a wait until
- 13:29Speaker 2: four days after Halloween and go get all of my
- 13:32Speaker 2: discounted candy and be fat.
- 13:34Speaker 1: And happy'd be good. Yeah, that's the problem with us.
- 13:37Speaker 1: That was since we've been handing out candy for the
- 13:39Speaker 1: past two years, is well, buy the candy, put it
- 13:41Speaker 1: into the bowl, and then be like, there's candy in
- 13:43Speaker 1: the house. Now, must eat, must eat the candy. Backing
- 13:46Speaker 1: snacking because we get the good shit, you know, Reese's kid, cats,
- 13:49Speaker 1: blow Pops, sour patch, stuff like that. Like, we get
- 13:51Speaker 1: the good stuff that we like to hand out, and
- 13:53Speaker 1: then we end up just eating most of it. And
- 13:55Speaker 1: last year we had a whole bunch left over. So
- 13:57Speaker 1: this year instead of letting the kids cause dude, it
- 13:59Speaker 1: was it was so interesting to like when I put
- 14:01Speaker 1: the bowl down for the kids to take, they would
- 14:03Speaker 1: just take like one or two. I'm like, fucking get
- 14:05Speaker 1: a handful of shit. So I would just take my
- 14:06Speaker 1: giant hand and be like, dude takes them like you
- 14:09Speaker 1: guys can take more than one.
- 14:10Speaker 2: So where does this household stand on candy corn?
- 14:13Speaker 1: I'm I'm not I'm not for it, not for it.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I am, though, going to try it again this year,
- 14:18Speaker 1: I told myself, because I've always hated it, but I
- 14:20Speaker 1: am going to give it another shot this year and
- 14:22Speaker 1: try it to see if maybe my palett's change, because
- 14:24Speaker 1: I know that's the thing, So stay stay tuned on
- 14:27Speaker 1: so Okay, So but as of right now, so here's the.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Best thing I can equate it to in my adult brain.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Do you like fond on icing? No? Okay, yeah that
- 14:37Speaker 2: so there there's the hang up. It's basically just like
- 14:39Speaker 2: fond on ice.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I mean, I like, I like that, but it's also
- 14:42Speaker 1: it's also can be if it's not done right, then
- 14:44Speaker 1: it's very heavy.
- 14:45Speaker 2: And are so so secondarily on candy corn because this
- 14:49Speaker 2: is a thing that I grew up around and I
- 14:52Speaker 2: don't know if this is just a my life was
- 14:54Speaker 2: weird type thing. Okay, there was always a house that
- 14:57Speaker 2: had a bowl of fucking candy corn and out, and
- 15:00Speaker 2: it was just loose candy corners, like take it, put
- 15:02Speaker 2: it in your bag, like it's sure.
- 15:05Speaker 1: That probably because it was also the nineties, so we
- 15:07Speaker 1: weren't worried about finding weed and razor blades in our
- 15:10Speaker 1: candy your stuff.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Nobody is giving away weed. Oh yeah. Me and Gabby
- 15:14Speaker 2: talked about that's not a thing. That's a myth. There's
- 15:17Speaker 2: never been a single guy. The one police report the
- 15:20Speaker 2: guy gave it to his own child to try and
- 15:23Speaker 2: collect life support or life insurance on and it was
- 15:27Speaker 2: a pixie stick that he puts cyanide in.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's different.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Me Gabby talked about this two episodes ago, where like
- 15:34Speaker 1: stoners are not gonna spend all that money to throw
- 15:36Speaker 1: that away?
- 15:37Speaker 2: Well, and then I saw said the news reports are
- 15:41Speaker 2: already kicking off. I saw one that was like be
- 15:44Speaker 2: careful of fentanyl laced candy, and I'm like, no, that's
- 15:48Speaker 2: not so hard to get. Yeah, it's so expensive, and
- 15:53Speaker 2: I'm sorry, no drug dealer once. Children are the worst
- 15:57Speaker 2: drug market. You know why they got money? Why would
- 16:03Speaker 2: we hand it away to them? Yeah? You think little
- 16:05Speaker 2: Timmy's gonna come back with his five hard earned dollars
- 16:09Speaker 2: of allowance money for that smack.
- 16:11Speaker 1: No way, no way, it's bad for business.
- 16:14Speaker 2: So yeah, they also can't drive, they can't get to you.
- 16:18Speaker 2: They can't.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, there's no way unless you're unless you're deranged,
- 16:21Speaker 1: you're not gonna be doing that and handing out candy
- 16:23Speaker 1: like that. But it is weird how that's changed over time,
- 16:26Speaker 1: because back when I was a kid, no one give
- 16:27Speaker 1: a fuck. But now that times are changing, lunatics are
- 16:30Speaker 1: out there, it's like, wow, we have to really, we do,
- 16:33Speaker 1: really need to, like pay attention.
- 16:34Speaker 2: I would be I would be more worried about like
- 16:37Speaker 2: actual needles now.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Yeah, not drugs, No, not drugs, not at all, but.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Like like weapons, razors and like I always heard, oh,
- 16:44Speaker 2: be careful razor blades in the candy are her I'm like, yeah,
- 16:47Speaker 2: what the fuck ever? But nowadays I'm like, Okay, maybe
- 16:50Speaker 2: a broken needle in Snickers.
- 16:52Speaker 1: I could see that on the hinge. Son of a
- 16:54Speaker 1: bitch is just out there ruining the world. But yeah,
- 16:57Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about drugs.
- 16:58Speaker 2: That's at the end of the day. It still checking kids. Yeah,
- 17:01Speaker 2: like can't hurt to be safe.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously check it, but you know, but don't pay
- 17:05Speaker 1: for it. Don't pay for the kids.
- 17:08Speaker 2: No, no, don't get like your local hospital will X
- 17:11Speaker 2: ray your candy. Oh really, but they'll charge you for it.
- 17:14Speaker 2: It's like twenty five bucks, but they'll charge you for it.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Don't do that. Okay, your police station will do it
- 17:18Speaker 2: for free.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Well, there you go, spitting facts. I had no idea
- 17:21Speaker 1: that was the thing. Halloween safety, Halloween safety. Yeah, I
- 17:25Speaker 1: cannot wait for this.
- 17:26Speaker 2: What is it?
- 17:26Speaker 1: It's the twenty Oh no, it's the nineteenth. I'm way
- 17:29Speaker 1: ahead of myself.
- 17:29Speaker 2: It's like Halloween's the thirty first.
- 17:31Speaker 1: My dad, we got like twelve more days till Halloween,
- 17:35Speaker 1: and so that'll be a lot of fun.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Have you we briefly mentioned hell Razer, Did you see that.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Yet or no?
- 17:41Speaker 2: I have not? Okay, So I am waiting until the
- 17:47Speaker 2: end of thirty one days just because so I'm gonna
- 17:51Speaker 2: try and do my rankings all at the end, like
- 17:56Speaker 2: on Halloween, because I try and do that every year,
- 18:00Speaker 2: and I'm like two or three movies behind the movement.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Okay, well, segue into that. How's that going, by the way,
- 18:07Speaker 1: I mean, I.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Mean, so so far, not a miss like, I have
- 18:12Speaker 2: not any that I haven't like, at least baseline enjoyed.
- 18:16Speaker 1: So that's a when. Yeah, Like that's a when.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Yeah, so far everything's been a like, uh, I mean
- 18:22Speaker 2: to be fair, be like two point seven five to
- 18:25Speaker 2: three and a half.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Yeah, there's always some solid movies, ye, little gap there,
- 18:30Speaker 1: so it's not surprising that you're you're finding some good ones.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Well that's good to hear. Let's see, uh, anything that
- 18:37Speaker 1: stood out over the over the course of the past
- 18:40Speaker 1: nineteen days.
- 18:41Speaker 2: You know what's funny? Is it? A lot of it
- 18:44Speaker 2: has kind of just blended to because Blumhouse stuff is
- 18:48Speaker 2: very it has a lot of very similar flavors in
- 18:53Speaker 2: the air of it. So no, not, it's really been
- 18:56Speaker 2: the stuff that I've been like watching outside of as
- 19:01Speaker 2: like a Okay, I can't do any more House, let
- 19:03Speaker 2: me go watch something else something so like like, uh,
- 19:06Speaker 2: the one that I was telling you about, I think
- 19:08Speaker 2: like last week or two weeks ago, Spell, Oh yeah,
- 19:12Speaker 2: that was it was so good. It was, it was
- 19:16Speaker 2: really good. I had a lot of fun with it
- 19:18Speaker 2: because it gives it gives you a lot of like,
- 19:20Speaker 2: uh skeleton key vibes.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you said it was like Skeleton Key mixed
- 19:24Speaker 1: with two other things, and I can't remember what the
- 19:27Speaker 1: two other things are.
- 19:28Speaker 2: But it's really cool because as it goes on, you
- 19:32Speaker 2: feel almost for like a half second sympathetic with the
- 19:36Speaker 2: antagonist until it's you get the reveal like five seconds
- 19:41Speaker 2: later what's going on? Then you're like, oh shit, never mind.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Fuck those people, okay, which.
- 19:47Speaker 2: It's it's a super talented all black castout right. Yeah,
- 19:53Speaker 2: it was on Paramount.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Oh you said Skeleton Key meets Misery.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Misery, Yeah, there we got. Oh yeah, which is a
- 20:01Speaker 2: very interesting combination like that. And there's actually a very
- 20:05Speaker 2: specific reason I say misery. If you go watch the
- 20:09Speaker 2: movie about like forty minutes and you'll be like, oh,
- 20:13Speaker 2: I get it.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 20:17Speaker 2: And then I also finally saw Orphan First Kill. Yeah, yeah,
- 20:20Speaker 2: what do you think? Oh it's fucking just the last one, dude.
- 20:24Speaker 1: I never thought they could ever pull that off. And
- 20:26Speaker 1: the twist happens and I'm just like, son of how did.
- 20:29Speaker 2: They do that? Yeah? And it's just a yeah, well,
- 20:33Speaker 2: not only is it all downhill, but like the absolute
- 20:37Speaker 2: perfect circle of like movie lore, movie lore cycle feedback
- 20:43Speaker 2: that happens. It's it's actually.
- 20:46Speaker 1: It was like, the best way to do a sequel
- 20:48Speaker 1: if they are a prequel, if they decide.
- 20:50Speaker 2: To do any other thing in that franchise, I'm a
- 20:55Speaker 2: fight whoever is directing it, because it doesn't need to happen.
- 21:01Speaker 1: I heard it was rumored that they might, but I
- 21:03Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this is what you've done so far.
- 21:05Speaker 1: You've made a movie from I think it's like two
- 21:07Speaker 1: thousand and nine fucking solid four stars for me, right,
- 21:10Speaker 1: and then you came back like ten years later, You're like,
- 21:12Speaker 1: we're gonna do this again. And I was like, I'm
- 21:15Speaker 1: kind of worried about that because she was a younger
- 21:18Speaker 1: playing an older girl. Now she's older playing a younger girl.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Like, I don't know.
- 21:21Speaker 1: And then they just knocked it out of the park
- 21:23Speaker 1: because completely blew my socks off. I was like, and it,
- 21:26Speaker 1: holy shit, don't touch any more of this, leave it alone.
- 21:28Speaker 2: And it was leaving. And what was so bizarre about
- 21:31Speaker 2: it was I was watching the movie and I was like,
- 21:34Speaker 2: this is the exact same goddamn movie. Yeah, Like this
- 21:37Speaker 2: is literally beat for beat. It's almost the first movie.
- 21:40Speaker 2: And I'm like, but why is it so good? Yeah?
- 21:44Speaker 1: And it's like twenty minutes shorter too, which is impressive.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Usually when you do sequels, you know, typically they are
- 21:50Speaker 1: usually longer for the most part, but this one, I
- 21:52Speaker 1: think the first Orphan's almost two hours. This is like
- 21:55Speaker 1: an hour and a half. I'm like, that is the
- 21:56Speaker 1: perfect way to do a sequel. Cut it down to
- 21:58Speaker 1: ninety minute really being ba boom, you're in and out. Plus,
- 22:01Speaker 1: Julia Stiles is fucking amazing. She was so good. She's
- 22:04Speaker 1: very talented. I like her in anything. She does so good.
- 22:08Speaker 1: I'm glad you saw that you liked it. What else
- 22:10Speaker 1: is new? Let's see my thirty one days of horror.
- 22:13Speaker 1: What did I last leave off with? I think it
- 22:15Speaker 1: was dead no.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Squirm, so I've been following that journey on the Yes, oh.
- 22:22Speaker 1: I got so after a squirm. We had x or.
- 22:25Speaker 1: We had exorses too, which I gave two stars. It
- 22:28Speaker 1: was bad. Too many locusts, so I too many locus.
- 22:32Speaker 2: You gotta tell you have to indulge me for like
- 22:36Speaker 2: two minutes talk about this movie.
- 22:38Speaker 1: To me, there was like a fucking masterpiece of a movie,
- 22:45Speaker 1: like waiting to break out inside that film. I mean,
- 22:48Speaker 1: you've got fucking uh oh my god, what's his name?
- 22:51Speaker 1: James Earl Jones, you got Linda Blair returning, But they
- 22:56Speaker 1: just completely shit the bed with the story because they're
- 22:59Speaker 1: talking about how the priest died at the end of
- 23:01Speaker 1: that movie, but they they weren't. They weren't dead in
- 23:03Speaker 1: this one, or something something happened to where they completely
- 23:07Speaker 1: changed the ending of the first one.
- 23:09Speaker 2: You're like, why did you not make it just about
- 23:12Speaker 2: anything else?
- 23:13Speaker 1: You could have made it, Like they're seriously, there was
- 23:15Speaker 1: such a brilliant movie in there, just like begging to
- 23:18Speaker 1: be released, and they just completely ship the bed, fucked
- 23:21Speaker 1: up the original material and just did not do it.
- 23:24Speaker 2: The way they should have. No, Oh my god. And
- 23:27Speaker 2: the Locus what is that so many? Why are we so.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Obsessed with Locus? Also the flashbacks to like whatever time
- 23:35Speaker 1: that was. They they literally went back to that time
- 23:38Speaker 1: half the movie the movies flashbacks, and you're like, why
- 23:41Speaker 1: can't dude, they could have had such a good premise,
- 23:44Speaker 1: like investigate the death of the of the priest who
- 23:47Speaker 1: was performing the exorcism on Reagan, Like that's cool. But
- 23:50Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you know, how did it get.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Back in her?
- 23:53Speaker 1: They they cleared her in the first one. The devil
- 23:56Speaker 1: was Bazuzu? Was they got it out right? Or am
- 23:59Speaker 1: I misremembering what happened?
- 24:01Speaker 2: No, So the argument is that the reason uh Puzuzu
- 24:07Speaker 2: comes back is he didn't actually get like fully exercised,
- 24:13Speaker 2: that he went into the body of father, what's his
- 24:20Speaker 2: faces dead mom for a little bit and then came back.
- 24:24Speaker 2: It's a it's a whole thing.
- 24:25Speaker 1: But is that explained? No, it's just theory. It's just
- 24:28Speaker 1: a theorist. It's just a theory, an game theory. Thanks
- 24:35Speaker 1: for watching it was Yeah, it's just like when you
- 24:39Speaker 1: start off on the note of ruining the original ending
- 24:43Speaker 1: of a movie that like changed horror cinema forever. It's like,
- 24:47Speaker 1: and I think it was like ten to fifteen years
- 24:50Speaker 1: later because Exorcist was like sixty.
- 24:53Speaker 2: When was Exorcist was.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Extras to the seventh seventies, I think Extorsist was like sixty.
- 24:57Speaker 1: I thought it was like sixty seventy three, Okay, we're
- 25:01Speaker 1: both wait Jesus, and then Exoruses two was seventy seven, Okay,
- 25:07Speaker 1: so it's only four years difference. So yeah, I just
- 25:10Speaker 1: don't know. They just completely took what could have been
- 25:13Speaker 1: something good and then just completely made it not that good.
- 25:19Speaker 1: And then the third one. I've heard a third one's
- 25:20Speaker 1: got a three point six, and I'm excited to watch
- 25:23Speaker 1: that one.
- 25:23Speaker 2: Here's what's great about number three is if you just
- 25:29Speaker 2: completely disregard two.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Yeah, three is a direct sequel. Yeah, it's like what
- 25:35Speaker 1: they did with it works perfectly. Okay, That's what I
- 25:39Speaker 1: figured they were doing, is trying to do what two
- 25:42Speaker 1: wanted to do and then also kind of negating it
- 25:44Speaker 1: like Halloween twenty eighteen did. For all the Halloween sequels.
- 25:47Speaker 1: It was like, it's seventy eight and then we're skipping
- 25:50Speaker 1: a twenty eighteen. All those other ones don't exist in
- 25:52Speaker 1: this timeline, so just forget about those. Yeah, so I'm
- 25:55Speaker 1: excited to watch that one. But yeah, extiuses too, definitely
- 25:57Speaker 1: a miss from me. And then we have Rabbid David
- 26:02Speaker 1: Cronenberg three and a half stars Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Never seen that before from nineteen seventy eight four and
- 26:10Speaker 1: a half stars. This didn't count from my thirty one
- 26:12Speaker 1: Days of Horror, but I rewatched Prints of Darkness the
- 26:14Speaker 1: other day bumped it up to a four.
- 26:15Speaker 2: And a half. It's so good because it's so good.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Hello, or that that was a part of it Road
- 26:20Speaker 1: Games as part of my thirty one days. Four Stars
- 26:23Speaker 1: Stacy Keats Jamie Lee Curtis fucking awesome, and then after
- 26:28Speaker 1: that the entity three stars kind of weird. It's about
- 26:30Speaker 1: a rape, like a fucking demon. Not a fan of that.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Dream skills So the entity was that it's.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Based on a real life occurrence too, which is why
- 26:40Speaker 1: I gave it is that in a Russian it's in
- 26:45Speaker 1: like mid I think it's a Midwestern city of the
- 26:48Speaker 1: US where someone is like tormented by it's like actually
- 26:52Speaker 1: recorded at like recorded paranormal investigation and shit like that.
- 26:55Speaker 1: It's based off a true story. I didn't realize that
- 26:57Speaker 1: till the end, and I was like, oh, that's cool.
- 26:59Speaker 1: But I I'm not huge on women just being abused
- 27:02Speaker 1: in movies, So based on facts or not, I don't know.
- 27:05Speaker 1: I just don't like watching that. Dreamscape was awesome three
- 27:07Speaker 1: and a half The Blob. First time watching that four
- 27:10Speaker 1: and a half witch Ah, yes, okay, holy shit, I
- 27:15Speaker 1: did not. I expected good practical effects, but the gore
- 27:19Speaker 1: was insane. I don't know why I wasn't expecting gore
- 27:21Speaker 1: for an eighties like Goofy movie like that, and then
- 27:25Speaker 1: last but not least, Dead Ringers David Cronenberg four stars,
- 27:29Speaker 1: really good. Had to look up an explanation video on
- 27:31Speaker 1: it though, because it was so so psychological ized, like
- 27:34Speaker 1: I can't keep up with this. Oh, and then Return
- 27:35Speaker 1: the Living Dead Part two three stars, so nice.
- 27:38Speaker 2: It's been going good.
- 27:39Speaker 1: In between all that, I've somehow managed to watch a
- 27:43Speaker 1: couple of new movies for this year. I've watched all
- 27:45Speaker 1: the paranormal Activity movies because I got this new box set.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Absolutely love those. And then I watched Hell House LLC
- 27:52Speaker 1: today because it's spooky season and I and you have to.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Yeah, not only it's a cleanser for every goddamn thing.
- 28:01Speaker 1: I just put it on and like the opening, like
- 28:03Speaker 1: you know, the scenes were happening now, was just like
- 28:06Speaker 1: I was just so giddy because I'm like, this is
- 28:08Speaker 1: like one of the greatest found footage movies of all time,
- 28:11Speaker 1: if not like the best. It's my all like all
- 28:13Speaker 1: time favorite next to like exists, And it's the perfect
- 28:16Speaker 1: haunted house movie.
- 28:17Speaker 2: It is.
- 28:17Speaker 1: It's perfect for spooky season, it's got good scares, it's
- 28:20Speaker 1: got good eerie atmosphere. Love Hellhouse LLC actually did a
- 28:24Speaker 1: video for one of my friends over at Slasher's podcast
- 28:27Speaker 1: about found footage. You can check it out on their
- 28:29Speaker 1: page Slasher's Podcast on Facebook and anywhere else in socials.
- 28:32Speaker 1: But yeah, I talked about exists in Hellhouse and I
- 28:35Speaker 1: just I just love found footage. Man, did you see
- 28:37Speaker 1: speaking of found footage? Did you watch dead stream yet?
- 28:41Speaker 1: Not yet?
- 28:42Speaker 2: That when I got home from work.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Okay, I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on it,
- 28:48Speaker 1: because it's, uh, did you did you like dash cam?
- 28:51Speaker 2: Or you or did you see that one? So I
- 28:55Speaker 2: started dash cam huh, and either I started cooking food
- 29:00Speaker 2: or I started smoking medical marijuana. So two happened and
- 29:05Speaker 2: I never finished it. From what I.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Saw, I was I wasn't like, oh wow, but I
- 29:11Speaker 1: was like, yeah, we all know my opinions on that.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of it. I think Annie is
- 29:17Speaker 1: a piece of shit. There's no redeeming qualities for her,
- 29:19Speaker 1: but she gives up kind of the same The guy
- 29:21Speaker 1: in this gives off kind of the same energy as her,
- 29:24Speaker 1: but not as dickish as her. He's just kind of
- 29:27Speaker 1: like it's like the guy from followed, Remember how he's
- 29:30Speaker 1: the YouTube, So it's like that he's got that personality
- 29:32Speaker 1: that you like, you just want to punch in the face,
- 29:34Speaker 1: but then he actually has a pretty decent character arc.
- 29:36Speaker 1: He's also hilarious in this, and there's a lot of
- 29:38Speaker 1: good creepy scares. So yeah, report back on that whenever
- 29:41Speaker 1: you see it. Super excited. And last, but not least,
- 29:44Speaker 1: about movies. Did you see Halloween Ends?
- 29:48Speaker 2: I haven't seen any of them?
- 29:50Speaker 1: What do you mean, like the new ones?
- 29:52Speaker 2: No? Really? Nope? Oh shit, Okay. I was having this
- 29:56Speaker 2: conversation with somebody the other day and they were like, wait,
- 29:58Speaker 2: what now. I was like nope, and they're like kidding me.
- 30:00Speaker 2: I was like, nope, don't give a fuck.
- 30:03Speaker 1: I can't. I can't be shocked anyone hasn't seen movies
- 30:07Speaker 1: because I haven't. You know, I didn't see Nightmare on
- 30:09Speaker 1: Elm Street until like two years ago. You know, it's
- 30:11Speaker 1: even been last year. Yeah, last year. So I can't
- 30:14Speaker 1: be mad when someone's like, you haven't seen it. I'm like,
- 30:16Speaker 1: I mean like, yeah, I mean, you know, it's just
- 30:18Speaker 1: how it is. I'm just I just it is surprising though,
- 30:21Speaker 1: just because of how big the first one was. But
- 30:23Speaker 1: you know, Kills has mixed reviews. And everyone fucking hates ends.
- 30:26Speaker 1: I enjoyed it, like and see, you.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Know, like it's one of those things that, like, I
- 30:33Speaker 2: know the story of Michael Myers already, Yeah, And I
- 30:38Speaker 2: can glean basically everything I need to know of the
- 30:43Speaker 2: story from literally anything and everything I read about it
- 30:48Speaker 2: or any photo that I see captured on the internet.
- 30:51Speaker 2: So really i'd just be watching it for the kills
- 30:54Speaker 2: at that point, and I can watch a cut of
- 30:57Speaker 2: that on YouTube. You know, I'm not the biggest Michael
- 31:00Speaker 2: Myers fan. Everybody knows that.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's one of those series that I'm like, yeah,
- 31:07Speaker 1: and there's been it's been so up ever since. Like
- 31:09Speaker 1: let's see, I mean after four, you know you have,
- 31:13Speaker 1: uh five is Revenge of Michael Myers, I think, which
- 31:17Speaker 1: is not that great. Then Curse, then it comes back
- 31:19Speaker 1: with Age two O, but then it goes right back
- 31:21Speaker 1: down with Resurrection, and then it goes back out with Zombies,
- 31:23Speaker 1: and then back down with two and then up with
- 31:25Speaker 1: it or the twenty eighteen one. It's just like Halloween
- 31:29Speaker 1: is so fucking all over the place with their franchise.
- 31:31Speaker 1: It's not consistent like Friday the thirteenth, I feel is
- 31:34Speaker 1: a bit more consistent, because at least the first four
- 31:36Speaker 1: are fucking like almost all same quality, you know what
- 31:39Speaker 1: I mean almost.
- 31:40Speaker 2: And see, here's here's my thing that I appreciate about
- 31:43Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth is we know when to fucking stop. Yeah,
- 31:48Speaker 2: we got the one remake and that was it, and
- 31:50Speaker 2: everybody was like, all right, the remake was just alright.
- 31:53Speaker 2: I loved it, but yeah, a lot of people are
- 31:55Speaker 2: I mean, don't get wrong, it kills are good, it's
- 32:00Speaker 2: it's Friday the thirteenth movie. Yeah, yeah, I love them,
- 32:03Speaker 2: but they're they're just alright movies at the end of
- 32:06Speaker 2: the day. But everybody's like, all right, they made it,
- 32:10Speaker 2: just al right, they made another just all right one done.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Well it's because the rights though, that's well, yeah, also
- 32:16Speaker 2: because of the rights. But I think I think deep
- 32:18Speaker 2: down a lot of people like, all right, where we
- 32:21Speaker 2: don't need another one?
- 32:22Speaker 1: Yeah, we really don't. I really like the remake just
- 32:25Speaker 1: because it really incorporated a lot from a lot of
- 32:28Speaker 1: the movies. And yeah, the kills were good. They still
- 32:30Speaker 1: use a lot of practical effects. But I mean, yeah,
- 32:33Speaker 1: what I like another one? Yeah, It's like it's like
- 32:35Speaker 1: a movie I want every so often, I don't want
- 32:37Speaker 1: you to start. I don't need another trilogy. Just make
- 32:39Speaker 1: one off Friday the Thirteenth movies. You don't have to
- 32:42Speaker 1: make a whole fucking series.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Just yeah.
- 32:43Speaker 1: And I've seen these all over the place, but I've
- 32:45Speaker 1: never watched them. But those, uh, those never Never Hike
- 32:48Speaker 1: Alone little mini movies that have that fans have made
- 32:52Speaker 1: about Jason Vorhees. There's two of them. It's Never Hike
- 32:54Speaker 1: Alone and Never Hike Alone in the Snow. They're like
- 32:56Speaker 1: thirty minute.
- 32:56Speaker 2: YouTube of like I haven't seen those.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Yeah, they're fan made like movies essentially, which I need
- 33:02Speaker 1: to watch. They're on YouTube. But that's pretty much what
- 33:05Speaker 1: we've gotten since two thousand and nine. You know, you
- 33:07Speaker 1: hear rumors like I saw something the other day about
- 33:10Speaker 1: how we might be getting a Friday the thirteenth next
- 33:12Speaker 1: year because the rights seem to finally be finding their
- 33:15Speaker 1: way or whatever. Just like at this point, it would
- 33:17Speaker 1: be nice just to get another one because it's been
- 33:19Speaker 1: fourteen years or it's been thirteen years, yeah, since two
- 33:22Speaker 1: thousand and nine, so it would be cool to see
- 33:24Speaker 1: somebody return and do something different or even just I
- 33:27Speaker 1: don't care, just give me a guy in a hockey
- 33:29Speaker 1: mask killing people. Fuck the story at that point, just
- 33:31Speaker 1: like go have fun, because I think that's what the
- 33:34Speaker 1: remake tried to do a lot of too, is it,
- 33:36Speaker 1: you know, tried to establish itself as its own thing
- 33:39Speaker 1: reference the old ones. So it was like, you know,
- 33:41Speaker 1: but I mean, I'm on board for another one. I
- 33:43Speaker 1: just don't need a fucking trilogy like David Gordon Green
- 33:45Speaker 1: is doing with The Exorcist now too. He's doing a trilogy,
- 33:48Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't need a trilogy.
- 33:50Speaker 2: Yeah he's giving one, and like I'm I'm still torn
- 33:55Speaker 2: on that to begin, Yeah, because yeah, is it gonna
- 33:59Speaker 2: be like quality? Very likely, it's it's for all intent's purpose.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Is probably gonna be a really damn good movie, like.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Although Halloweens are their quality, but not necessarily.
- 34:10Speaker 2: But it's one of those things that it's like, man,
- 34:13Speaker 2: are you doing this for like respect of the movie
- 34:18Speaker 2: and because like you believe that you can add something
- 34:21Speaker 2: to it or are you doing this on name recognition? Yeah,
- 34:24Speaker 2: and if you're doing it on name recognition, it loses
- 34:29Speaker 2: a lot of it's magic to me.
- 34:32Speaker 1: And I just damn if David Gordon Green can do
- 34:36Speaker 1: what he did with Halloween twenty eighteen. For the first Exorcist, great,
- 34:41Speaker 1: just do please, for the love of God, if you're
- 34:43Speaker 1: doing three, just do them different than kills and ends,
- 34:46Speaker 1: because you know, I wasn't big on kills, and everyone's
- 34:48Speaker 1: mixed on that one. And for the consensus I'm getting
- 34:50Speaker 1: now is everyone hates ends, like I was cool with
- 34:53Speaker 1: one Exorcist remake because no one has done it. They've
- 34:55Speaker 1: done the TV show, yeah, which was really good. Actually
- 34:58Speaker 1: I watched the seen the first season or two and
- 35:01Speaker 1: it's really fucking good show. Uh, and then we've had
- 35:04Speaker 1: Exorcists two and three. I think that's it. I think
- 35:07Speaker 1: we've had three movies in the TV show. I don't
- 35:09Speaker 1: think there's been anything else, but I could be wrong.
- 35:11Speaker 1: I don't think so. So it's like I'm ready for
- 35:13Speaker 1: a remake, you know, David Gordon Green cool? But a
- 35:16Speaker 1: trilogy is why are we doing trilogies of everything? It's
- 35:19Speaker 1: just not necessary.
- 35:20Speaker 2: Well, now, see, the only way I will accept this
- 35:23Speaker 2: as a trilogy is if the first movie is literally
- 35:29Speaker 2: only about Father what's his faces Exorcism in Morocco where
- 35:35Speaker 2: he went up against Bazuzu the first time. That would
- 35:38Speaker 2: be great. That's the only way that you can justifiably
- 35:43Speaker 2: get from Exorcist one and three kind of into three
- 35:49Speaker 2: movies about the one incident.
- 35:51Speaker 1: And I'm also wondering, are they gonna pull a Halloween
- 35:55Speaker 1: where it's, like, you know, directly from the first one
- 35:57Speaker 1: is three involved. Are they starting a whole new timeline?
- 36:00Speaker 2: Like, I think the only acceptable way to do it
- 36:06Speaker 2: is you're gonna have to start a whole whole new timeline. Yeah, yeah,
- 36:10Speaker 2: because I mean if you just look at like the
- 36:14Speaker 2: social structure of the parties, the party scenes rather in
- 36:19Speaker 2: the in the Exorcist one like that, that wouldn't fly today.
- 36:24Speaker 2: So you you've got that already that you just can't do.
- 36:30Speaker 2: So yeah, I think they're gonna have to go like
- 36:31Speaker 2: a whole new timeline and figure out what they're gonna.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Do, what to do, Yeah, especially if they're doing three.
- 36:37Speaker 1: I would love to see what you said though, that
- 36:39Speaker 1: would be great, even if even if that was like
- 36:42Speaker 1: the second movie in this trilogy and it was a prequel, whatever,
- 36:45Speaker 1: that's gotta be in there, because you're right that that's
- 36:47Speaker 1: kind of a big important piece of the story, speaking.
- 36:51Speaker 2: Of why does everything have to be a trilogy. Why
- 36:54Speaker 2: can't y'all release them in fucking order? Just put the
- 37:00Speaker 2: damn order that's supposed to be seen. I'm sick of
- 37:02Speaker 2: watching two movies and then like four years later they go, oh,
- 37:05Speaker 2: remember those two awesome movies. Here's the prequel that we
- 37:09Speaker 2: wanted to release originally, but for whatever reason, fuck you.
- 37:13Speaker 1: Like it's like, uh, it's like Paranormal Activity. Okay, we're
- 37:17Speaker 1: gonna release one, all right, This one's a prequel, all right,
- 37:20Speaker 1: This one's a prequel, all right. Four is the sequel
- 37:23Speaker 1: to one. And you're like why yeah, whychol It goes
- 37:29Speaker 1: one and then two and then three. Yeah, and you
- 37:33Speaker 1: know what comes after three, four, four, But we don't
- 37:36Speaker 1: need four because we're just doing a trilogy and we
- 37:37Speaker 1: don't even need a trilogy.
- 37:38Speaker 2: Just got fuck it, Just do one.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Just do one where you explain everything.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Yeah, how about this? How about you keep the same
- 37:46Speaker 2: run time of the director's cut original and just put
- 37:50Speaker 2: all your information in there.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Cut it into three chapters, the President, the Pass, and
- 37:53Speaker 1: the future. Boom, done, nailed it.
- 37:56Speaker 2: The director's cot is like two hours and ten minutes,
- 37:59Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, if you cannot fit all of your
- 38:02Speaker 2: movie of the original movie being the same leg you
- 38:07Speaker 2: fucked up, you fucked up, stop it.
- 38:10Speaker 1: All I hope for this new entry is lit. They
- 38:12Speaker 1: got to use as much practical effects as they can
- 38:14Speaker 1: because that's what that's what the you know, original has
- 38:17Speaker 1: going for it is all the practical effects and all
- 38:20Speaker 1: the crazy shit they did. So keep that. I think
- 38:23Speaker 1: we'll be happy. I mean, most of the stuff and
- 38:25Speaker 1: the new Halloweens is practical, like they were, like, they've
- 38:28Speaker 1: smashed a couple of heads in this series and it's
- 38:31Speaker 1: been Look, you know, it's practical. It goops out like
- 38:33Speaker 1: pumpkin guts, so it's like cool. So keep the practical
- 38:36Speaker 1: effects alive. Try not to use cg make it a
- 38:39Speaker 1: good story. Hopefully it'll be good. David Gordon Green, I
- 38:41Speaker 1: kind of have faith in you. You did so good
- 38:43Speaker 1: with twenty eighteen Halloween. Just bring that energy to the Exorcist.
- 38:46Speaker 1: That's what we need right now. Yes, that's what we need.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Anything else interesting, any anecdotes, anything you got not really? No,
- 38:55Speaker 1: All right, let's get into this movie. Then. I've got
- 38:58Speaker 1: a lot of fun facts on this one, and it's
- 39:00Speaker 1: mainly pointing out all the nods that they give to
- 39:02Speaker 1: other movies like it's a lot.
- 39:06Speaker 2: All right, So every time they introduced a new characters like.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Aha, yeah, listen, listen to that name, I know that
- 39:12Speaker 1: last name?
- 39:13Speaker 2: Uh so? Yes.

- 39:16Speaker 1: sixty two. I'm your host, Austin Proctor. That is your
- 39:18Speaker 1: co host, Corey Johnson. Hey, yes, forty minutes in love it.

- 39:58Speaker 1: Listed as a comedy horror thriller Where's My I don't
- 40:02Speaker 1: have my mouth?
- 40:02Speaker 2: That's fine?
- 40:03Speaker 1: Directed by Scott Glosterman. This man has four acting or
- 40:06Speaker 1: directing credits. I didn't see anything else that I recognized.
- 40:10Speaker 1: It's also written by Scott Glossterman two writing credits. The
- 40:14Speaker 1: only other thing he's written is something that has been announced.
- 40:18Speaker 1: The other writers David J. Steve Stive who has four
- 40:22Speaker 1: writing credits, also nothing major that he's done. Gordy Hobb
- 40:28Speaker 1: did the music for this sixty two composer credits. He
- 40:30Speaker 1: also did a bunch of Star Wars and Halo War
- 40:33Speaker 1: game soundtracks and then cinematography by Jason precant Or President
- 40:38Speaker 1: twenty eight cinematographer credits. Nothing else major to note, which
- 40:43Speaker 1: is it always baffles me when we get these movies
- 40:45Speaker 1: because it's like all these people who haven't really done
- 40:48Speaker 1: much in the way of like noticeable movies make this
- 40:52Speaker 1: fucking little gem.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Why aren't you doing more things? That's that's called the industry,
- 40:57Speaker 2: My god, so weird. You float around where you can
- 41:00Speaker 2: get jobs, and so sometimes you're throwing dirt on victim
- 41:05Speaker 2: number two in fucking Law and Order SVU, and sometimes
- 41:10Speaker 2: you're doing shit like this.
- 41:12Speaker 1: I know. It's just funny how it works, because it's like, man,
- 41:15Speaker 1: I I'd love to see more from these guys, because
- 41:18Speaker 1: even the actors really you know, besides a couple that
- 41:24Speaker 1: we'll get into real quick. But we've got the lead guy,
- 41:26Speaker 1: Nathan Bazil as Leslie Vernon eighteen acting credits, only really
- 41:30Speaker 1: done like TV shows like One Off Here.
- 41:32Speaker 2: So funny because he is the strangest combination of Jim
- 41:36Speaker 2: Carrey and Sean Williams Scott. I have ever seen. That's
- 41:40Speaker 2: what it is.
- 41:41Speaker 1: I'm looking at him. I'm like, you give You're giving
- 41:43Speaker 1: me off, like all this energy. That's exactly what it is.
- 41:47Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, he enunciates like Jim Carrey and
- 41:51Speaker 2: looks like Sean Wiiams.
- 41:52Speaker 1: It kind of has the doofy little faces that Sean
- 41:54Speaker 1: william Scott has.
- 41:55Speaker 2: That's what it is. Yeah.
- 41:57Speaker 1: God, it was driving me crazy because when I looked
- 41:59Speaker 1: up Hiss and I saw that was nothing, and I'm like,
- 42:02Speaker 1: who are you? I know you from something? No, I'm
- 42:04Speaker 1: just mashing two people together in my head. Goodness. Then
- 42:07Speaker 1: we've got Angela Goethals as Taylor Gentry twenty seven acting
- 42:11Speaker 1: credits all she was also in Home Alone as Lenny.
- 42:14Speaker 1: I think that was one of the kids. I can't remember.
- 42:16Speaker 1: And then Jerry maguire is Kathy Sanders and Spanglish as
- 42:20Speaker 1: Gwen So she's done some things. And then we've got
- 42:23Speaker 1: Zelda Rubinstein as Missus Colin Wood, most notably Tangina from Poltergeist.
- 42:29Speaker 1: You know this, this house is clear.
- 42:31Speaker 2: That's her.
- 42:31Speaker 1: She's awesome. This is actually her last movie. Sadly she
- 42:34Speaker 1: passed away I believe the same year of the year
- 42:36Speaker 1: after something like that. And then we've got Robert England
- 42:40Speaker 1: as Doc Hallerin, not Dick Hallerin. We'll get there, don't worry.
- 42:45Speaker 1: And it should really go without mentioning who this is
- 42:48Speaker 1: because it's a pretty big powerhouse name and the horror Yeah.
- 42:51Speaker 2: And I was telling you earlier. Fuck it. I love
- 42:54Speaker 2: Robert England because as long as it as long as
- 42:56Speaker 2: it has something to do like respectfully at the horror genre.
- 43:01Speaker 2: He's like, hey, I'm in you want my help? Yeah.
- 43:04Speaker 1: He had like a five second scene and I think
- 43:07Speaker 1: was either Hatchet or Hatchett too, where he was in
- 43:09Speaker 1: the canoe at the beginning and just like there's Robert England.
- 43:11Speaker 1: Oh okay, bye, we don't see him for the rest
- 43:13Speaker 1: of the movies.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:14Speaker 1: I love Robert England. He's so great. So, yeah, he's
- 43:16Speaker 1: in this, He's in I don't know, maybe like five
- 43:19Speaker 1: ten minutes of the movie. And then last but not least,
- 43:21Speaker 1: we've got Scott Wilson, his Eugene, who was most notably
- 43:24Speaker 1: Herschel Green and The Walking Dead. He popped up and
- 43:27Speaker 1: I was like, I forgot this old son of a
- 43:29Speaker 1: bitches in this movie. Love him, He's such a great actor.
- 43:32Speaker 1: I couldn't find anything on budget because this was probably
- 43:35Speaker 1: an indie film, I would assue, but it did gross
- 43:38Speaker 1: about seventy K at the box office, probably you know,
- 43:40Speaker 1: the limited release in.
- 43:41Speaker 2: America, which is really cool.
- 43:44Speaker 1: This was filmed in various parts all over Oregon, Wayne, Maine,
- 43:48Speaker 1: which is a fun place to live, and then of
- 43:51Speaker 1: course Los Angeles, California. You can watch this on AMC Plus.
- 43:54Speaker 1: You can rent it on Amazon for three ninety nine
- 43:56Speaker 1: or buy it for twelve ninety nine. There's also a
- 43:58Speaker 1: Scream Factory Blue ray that you can buy for twenty dollars,
- 44:03Speaker 1: so there's plenty of ways to watch this.
- 44:05Speaker 2: How did you watch it? Uh? I rented it. Yeah,
- 44:08Speaker 2: it did not show up on my AMC Plus.
- 44:11Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, it's what is said on IMDb, so maybe
- 44:14Speaker 1: that's that could be false.
- 44:15Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 44:16Speaker 1: I don't have AMC plus, so I'm.
- 44:18Speaker 2: More than happy for a three nine rental.
- 44:21Speaker 1: Yeah, three ninety nine is nothing. Oh, I didn't do
- 44:24Speaker 1: the movies that came out around the same time. Well
- 44:27Speaker 1: that's The Son of a Bitch. Wow, fuck you? Uh yeah,
- 44:31Speaker 1: fuck that apparently, So I guess let's go to favorite.
- 44:36Speaker 1: Did you have a specific horror moment? There's really not anyway.
- 44:41Speaker 2: So the specific horror moment is technically my favorite kill.
- 44:45Speaker 1: Also, is it a spoiler? Is it a spoiler? Is
- 44:50Speaker 1: it like the last kill?
- 44:52Speaker 2: No? Oh, with the post hole digger? Oh? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 44:58Speaker 2: that's that's my favorite horror moment.
- 45:00Speaker 1: And slash kill Okay, my horror moment and kill is
- 45:05Speaker 1: kind of a spoiler, so I won't say anything on that.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Let me pull up my notes here though. Did you
- 45:11Speaker 1: have okay, that's your favorite kill? Did you have a
- 45:13Speaker 1: favorite character?
- 45:14Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Eugene, Eugene.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Oh, Herschel, Yeah yeah, yeah, Herschel's awesome. My favorite is Leslie.
- 45:22Speaker 1: He's just a fucking silly and oh yeah, he is hilarious.
- 45:27Speaker 2: It was a close running, but I had to give
- 45:32Speaker 2: it to Eugene. Yeah.
- 45:33Speaker 1: I really love how kind of meta the ship gets
- 45:35Speaker 1: to and obviously we'll we'll get into that here in
- 45:38Speaker 1: just a little bit. Did you have a did you
- 45:40Speaker 1: have a favorite least favorite character? Sorry, least favorite character.
- 45:47Speaker 2: Probably Taylor Taylor.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she was kind of yeah, all over the place.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't really have I didn't really
- 45:55Speaker 1: not like anybody, So yeah, I didn't really have someone
- 45:59Speaker 1: I like the least to put on the list. Did
- 46:03Speaker 1: you have a favorite line?
- 46:05Speaker 2: So it's a mini monologue, may I read it? Oh?
- 46:08Speaker 1: Fuck, absolutely? Of course.
- 46:12Speaker 2: The answer is simple, run like a motherfucker and don't
- 46:15Speaker 2: stop till the sun comes up. Pardon the French, but
- 46:18Speaker 2: there it is. And don't try and hide. We'll find you.
- 46:22Speaker 2: Don't try and be a hero and fight us. You'll lose. Now,
- 46:26Speaker 2: pick out a clear spot ahead of you and run
- 46:29Speaker 2: as far away as possible and run straight. Don't ever
- 46:32Speaker 2: look back because you won't like what you see. I
- 46:36Speaker 2: promise you that. Yeah. I was like, oh, it's so
- 46:40Speaker 2: fucking cold.
- 46:41Speaker 1: That was a good old herschel there.
- 46:44Speaker 2: Yep, it was such a good little bit. And I
- 46:47Speaker 2: was like, you know, that's what every killer is gonna
- 46:52Speaker 2: say to you, And it just kind of cements in
- 46:56Speaker 2: all of what's going on.
- 46:57Speaker 1: Yeah, that was pretty good. And like I said, I
- 47:00Speaker 1: really do enjoy Scott Wilson. I don't really haven't really
- 47:04Speaker 1: seen him in much besides Walking Dead. Uh.
- 47:07Speaker 2: You you actually probably.
- 47:09Speaker 1: Have, That's the thing I probably have. I just don't know,
- 47:12Speaker 1: you know what.
- 47:12Speaker 2: I will hang on, uh fill some space while I
- 47:15Speaker 2: fucking look him up real quick.
- 47:16Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you. But no, I'm just kidding.
- 47:19Speaker 1: I have a favorite line. It was really quick one
- 47:22Speaker 1: off thing that Leslie Vernon said, or at least I
- 47:25Speaker 1: think he said it. You can correct me if I
- 47:27Speaker 1: was wrong, but I believe. When he's talking to his
- 47:30Speaker 1: turtles at the beginning of the movie, he says something
- 47:33Speaker 1: along the lines of I only keep animals that I
- 47:35Speaker 1: can eat.
- 47:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I only keep pets that I can I only.
- 47:38Speaker 1: Keep pets that I can eat. And I was like,
- 47:39Speaker 1: that's fucking morbid. He's like, yeah, I haven't ft these
- 47:41Speaker 1: guys in weeks. I don't know how they're so alive.
- 47:43Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, then sol right, he.

- 48:43Speaker 1: this guy, like this, this guy needs to be around more.
- 48:46Speaker 1: But unfortunately he he did. I think he passed away
- 48:48Speaker 1: a few years ago. But yeah, he's always He's always
- 48:50Speaker 1: fun to watch on screen.
- 48:51Speaker 2: And you saw a ninth configuration right, No, I didn't know.
- 48:55Speaker 2: Is that any good? Uh? Yeah, it's it's we are
- 49:00Speaker 2: like religious horror, psychological thriller, people in an asylum during
- 49:05Speaker 2: war type shit.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Well, I did pull up the movies that came out
- 49:09Speaker 1: around the same time. We'll go off of the theatrical
- 49:12Speaker 1: limited release from March sixteenth, two thousand and seven, so
- 49:17Speaker 1: in that we've got ghost Rider on the original one.
- 49:21Speaker 2: The one with Nick Cage. Yeah, but like ghost Rider one,
- 49:25Speaker 2: just ghost Rider.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Yeah, oh fustraight, that one's good. And then We've got
- 49:31Speaker 1: I just saw the Number twenty three, which I actually
- 49:34Speaker 1: quite enjoy.
- 49:35Speaker 2: I need to rewatch that, Yeah, because when I saw
- 49:38Speaker 2: it for the first time, I was like, this is stupid.
- 49:40Speaker 1: I enjoy.
- 49:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I give it another watch.
- 49:42Speaker 1: We've Got Wild Hogs, which I know is a terrible movie,
- 49:45Speaker 1: but I fucking love it. Got three hundred, which is
- 49:48Speaker 1: crazy dead, Silence which is a good one. Hell's Have
- 49:52Speaker 1: Eyes two TM and T. I assume that's the first
- 49:55Speaker 1: one with Megan Fox Maybe, I don't know. Blade of
- 50:00Speaker 1: Glory like that one. Gabby is a big fan of
- 50:03Speaker 1: that one. Are We Done Yet? Oh that's the movie
- 50:05Speaker 1: I was talking about last time with Ice.
- 50:07Speaker 2: Yeah. Are we there yet?
- 50:08Speaker 1: We came up on a previous episode. I was like, yeah,
- 50:10Speaker 1: it's this. He also did are We Done Yet? Or
- 50:13Speaker 1: where are we? Or something like that. Grindhouse, which is awesome, Dysturbia,
- 50:19Speaker 1: perfect Stranger and Hot Fuzzs. So a lot of good
- 50:22Speaker 1: shit around that time, maybe two thousand and sevens let's
- 50:25Speaker 1: get into this review here, IMDb summary. The Great The
- 50:31Speaker 1: Next Great Psycho horror slasher has given a documentary career
- 50:34Speaker 1: exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign
- 50:36Speaker 1: of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo. We
- 50:40Speaker 1: don't really have to talk about this linearly, but you know,
- 50:43Speaker 1: of course I have plenty of notes on this stuff exactly.
- 50:47Speaker 1: But I'll just set up the basics and then we
- 50:50Speaker 1: could just talk about everything we liked, because it is
- 50:53Speaker 1: I had a lot of fun, and.
- 50:54Speaker 2: This is a movie that you kind of you can't
- 50:58Speaker 2: really give away very much watch it all because if
- 51:02Speaker 2: after the first like fifteen minutes, if you're paying any
- 51:06Speaker 2: kind of attention, and you know horror movies, you figured
- 51:09Speaker 2: out the movie. Yeah, so letting go any of like
- 51:14Speaker 2: the crucial lines or anything. I'll just give away the
- 51:17Speaker 2: entire movie.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Oh then, how far did you want to take? I
- 51:21Speaker 1: should probably should have asked this before.
- 51:24Speaker 2: I would say that we kind of just go over
- 51:26Speaker 2: more like interesting bits sort of as they come, and
- 51:33Speaker 2: then because like I, I more want to gush on
- 51:36Speaker 2: like the process.
- 51:38Speaker 1: Oh yeah that they show.
- 51:39Speaker 2: That's fine because that's like ninety percent of the movie anyway,
- 51:43Speaker 2: So that's fine.
- 51:44Speaker 1: I'll just set it up because it opens with, uh,
- 51:47Speaker 1: it's really weird because so this is this movie is
- 51:49Speaker 1: film found footage style POV style, but then there are
- 51:52Speaker 1: also shots that are not POV, and usually I can't
- 51:56Speaker 1: stand that. I really wish, you know, film makers would
- 52:00Speaker 1: pick one or the other. But in this one it
- 52:04Speaker 1: works because there are times where the cameras set down
- 52:08Speaker 1: and they stop filming and then it goes to like
- 52:10Speaker 1: normal like production style. So it works in this one,
- 52:14Speaker 1: and I don't usually hate it as much because typically
- 52:16Speaker 1: I can't sim.
- 52:17Speaker 2: So I have an idea of why that is. So
- 52:23Speaker 2: the whole premise of this of this movie is this
- 52:26Speaker 2: is a world where slashers from the movies are real people. Yeah.
- 52:31Speaker 1: They literally mentioned Jason, Michael and Freddy and like the
- 52:34Speaker 1: first five minutes of the movie like they established them
- 52:38Speaker 1: as real people.
- 52:39Speaker 2: So this is a movie about a movie crew. Yeah,
- 52:45Speaker 2: so there, like the found footage is them like making
- 52:51Speaker 2: the horror movie.
- 52:52Speaker 1: So like the whole.
- 52:52Speaker 2: Premise is the shit from Friday the Thirteenth, Camp Crystal Lake,
- 52:56Speaker 2: Like those movies are not movies, they're documentaries of what
- 53:00Speaker 2: was happening.
- 53:00Speaker 1: Yeah, there are real events that have happened.
- 53:02Speaker 2: So this is the movie about the documentary crew filming
- 53:07Speaker 2: the next Jason or the next Freddy. So it it
- 53:12Speaker 2: kind of makes a little bit of sense that they
- 53:14Speaker 2: give you most of what they're seeing through POV. Yeah,
- 53:17Speaker 2: but then when they do set it down, it makes
- 53:20Speaker 2: sense as to why we are seeing it because from
- 53:23Speaker 2: like a universal rules perspective, it at least flows correct.
- 53:29Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's one point where they are literally talking
- 53:32Speaker 1: about Leslie Vernon's plan on you know, trapping all the kids,
- 53:35Speaker 1: and it goes.
- 53:36Speaker 2: To like.
- 53:39Speaker 1: Not a narration what's it called when a voiceover of
- 53:42Speaker 1: you know, Taylor and Leslie talking while things are enacted
- 53:46Speaker 1: on screen, and like, yo, this is how the plan's
- 53:48Speaker 1: gonna go, like the you know, the Virgin's gonna do this,
- 53:50Speaker 1: and then you see it on the screen and they'll
- 53:52Speaker 1: like no, no, no, stop, pause, and then they'll go back.
- 53:54Speaker 1: So in that instance, it makes sense, and it does flow,
- 53:57Speaker 1: It flows very well, but it's it's it's nice to
- 54:00Speaker 1: see it done properly because typically I'm like paranormal activity
- 54:04Speaker 1: next of Kin, they literally don't establish there's more than
- 54:07Speaker 1: one camera, and if they do, they say it. But
- 54:09Speaker 1: like there's times where there's like multiple camera angles and
- 54:11Speaker 1: I'm like, are you sound footage or you're not fund
- 54:13Speaker 1: footage like that mystery camera fucking drives me insane. So
- 54:16Speaker 1: they do it very well in this and uh I
- 54:18Speaker 1: find it very entertaining.
- 54:19Speaker 2: So for the argument for Next of kin that that
- 54:24Speaker 2: extra footage is when they reveal the whole big reveal
- 54:28Speaker 2: at the end of why It's happening. Yeah, those shots
- 54:32Speaker 2: are implied to be how they found Homegirl in the
- 54:39Speaker 2: first place because they have cameras everywhere watching everything interesting.
- 54:45Speaker 2: It's it's dumb and they don't say it out loud
- 54:48Speaker 2: to fuck them.
- 54:49Speaker 1: Yeah, fuck them for that. Uh So that's what the
- 54:52Speaker 1: basic premise is. And and how it starts off is
- 54:55Speaker 1: really weird because it doesn't start off with POV. It
- 54:57Speaker 1: literally starts out with this waitress taking out trash and
- 54:59Speaker 1: then we see, you know, the mask behind her door
- 55:02Speaker 1: shuts behind her, and then she turns around you know,
- 55:05Speaker 1: there's no one behind her, and then she goes running
- 55:07Speaker 1: away or something like that. It's very weird. And then
- 55:09Speaker 1: the title guard pops up and you're like, Okay, that's weird.
- 55:11Speaker 1: But then we get introduced to Taylor and she's reporting
- 55:14Speaker 1: on a place called Glen Echo, which is like a
- 55:15Speaker 1: picture postcard community, like thousands of small places all over
- 55:18Speaker 1: the country, and she's talking about evil creeping into areas
- 55:21Speaker 1: like this, mentions Jason Voorhi's a camp, Crystal Lake, mentions
- 55:24Speaker 1: Elm Street, and Freddie mentions Myers and Haddenfield, and she's
- 55:27Speaker 1: trying to figure out the connection between all these.
- 55:29Speaker 2: Little towns in Glen Echo.
- 55:31Speaker 1: And then she goes on to say that twenty years ago,
- 55:33Speaker 1: boy was possessed or sorry sorry, a possessed boy by
- 55:37Speaker 1: evil was taken and thrown out of his home by
- 55:39Speaker 1: a frenzied mob over a waterfall, and then the boy drowned.
- 55:42Speaker 1: His name is Leslie Vernon, and he's going to seek
- 55:44Speaker 1: revenge on the people for you know, for wronging him.
- 55:47Speaker 1: And this crew is following him around because he's about
- 55:50Speaker 1: to come back after these twenty years and reign terror
- 55:54Speaker 1: and seek out vengeance. So that's when you and like
- 55:57Speaker 1: that's the setup of the movie. You're like, this is
- 55:59Speaker 1: the most a rich movie I've seen, and this is
- 56:02Speaker 1: few and six, this is sixteen years old, and it's
- 56:05Speaker 1: so it's such a fresh take because that's really wasn't
- 56:09Speaker 1: pelv wasn't even like huge in.
- 56:11Speaker 2: Two thousand and six.
- 56:12Speaker 1: No, paranormal activity really kicked it off in like two
- 56:15Speaker 1: thousand and seven, two thousand and eight. That's really when
- 56:18Speaker 1: found footage started being at the forefront of you know,
- 56:21Speaker 1: Quarantine was like two thousand and eight. Yeah, Cloverfield of
- 56:23Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, So this was before all that.
- 56:25Speaker 1: So to have a movie that old be this fresh
- 56:28Speaker 1: is just it's so nice because you're like, oh, we're
- 56:31Speaker 1: we're gonna follow my documentary crew about a real saver
- 56:33Speaker 1: coilor like that's interesting. Yeah, I find that's super awesome.
- 56:36Speaker 2: And the establishment of oh slashers are real so right
- 56:43Speaker 2: away too. So anything hooky spooky that goes on, fuck you,
- 56:48Speaker 2: it's just how the world works.
- 56:50Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. This is real life. This is
- 56:53Speaker 1: not fiction.
- 56:54Speaker 2: No, and it's and it it allows them to just
- 56:57Speaker 2: be so fucking tongue and she through the entire thing. Yeah,
- 57:01Speaker 2: because most of the movie is the setup for how
- 57:06Speaker 2: the climax is going to.
- 57:08Speaker 1: Happen, which is so perfect.
- 57:10Speaker 2: They give you the old ari aster, but instead of
- 57:13Speaker 2: showing it in like the panning two minute shot at
- 57:16Speaker 2: the beginning, they spend the entire movie saying, Okay, I
- 57:20Speaker 2: am the killer, this is the person I'm going after,
- 57:23Speaker 2: and here's how I'm gonna do it. Yeah, and then
- 57:26Speaker 2: they just they they go and do this. They set
- 57:29Speaker 2: it up, and it's really funny because he goes, oh, yeah,
- 57:32Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna do this, and then I'm gonna
- 57:34Speaker 2: cut the power and then they're gonna go do this
- 57:36Speaker 2: if everything works out properly. And then when they do this,
- 57:39Speaker 2: it's gonna and you're sitting there you're like, all right,
- 57:41Speaker 2: this is actually really fucking smart. And then it allows
- 57:46Speaker 2: you to kind of move over to other horror movies
- 57:49Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, so if this happened, this is
- 57:51Speaker 2: how it would happen, and yeah, they literally break it
- 57:54Speaker 2: down in terms of reality on how it would well.
- 57:57Speaker 2: And then they give you like the whole horror movie
- 58:00Speaker 2: formula and you're like, God damn it, this is exactly
- 58:03Speaker 2: what happens in every horror movie. And then it's it's
- 58:06Speaker 2: almost insulting for a second because you're like, am I
- 58:10Speaker 2: that fucking stupid that? I like, fuck you movie, You're
- 58:14Speaker 2: too smart for your own good. Yeah, I just love
- 58:17Speaker 2: how they literally spent the whole movie is setting up
- 58:20Speaker 2: the climax, and you don't get it POV style, you
- 58:23Speaker 2: get it like normal movie style, which.
- 58:25Speaker 1: Is yeah, which is such a it's such a clever
- 58:27Speaker 1: way to do that because they put the camera down
- 58:29Speaker 1: at one point they're like, we have to, like we've
- 58:30Speaker 1: got to stop him, and then it's like regular camera
- 58:33Speaker 1: and then and then the rest of it is trying
- 58:34Speaker 1: to undo what they what they've spent this entire movie doing.
- 58:38Speaker 1: And it's such a weird juxposition. You're like this, the
- 58:40Speaker 1: tone is changing on this movie all over the place.
- 58:42Speaker 2: Well, and it's funny because toward the end, uh, Leslie
- 58:46Speaker 2: just starts being fucking like Jesus prophesying and uh so, uh,
- 58:52Speaker 2: they're they're in the middle of doing something, and then
- 58:55Speaker 2: Leslie pulls Taylor out of the house and goes and
- 58:57Speaker 2: Taylor's like, what why'd we leave?
- 58:59Speaker 1: Why'd we leave?
- 59:00Speaker 2: And and Leslie goes, it's because you had this. I
- 59:04Speaker 2: can't just stand by and watch this happen. Look on
- 59:06Speaker 2: your feet, and then Leslie walks away, and then Taylor
- 59:09Speaker 2: looks at everybody and goes, we can't just stand here
- 59:12Speaker 2: and watch this happen. And the two guys are like,
- 59:15Speaker 2: didn't didn't Leslie just say you were gonna say that
- 59:18Speaker 2: and she's like.
- 59:19Speaker 1: Shut up. It's like, so it's so meta and the
- 59:22Speaker 1: fact of making everything real and talking about Jay like
- 59:26Speaker 1: real people. But then it's meta in its own way
- 59:29Speaker 1: and it's in it's in itself and it's just so
- 59:32Speaker 1: so much utter fun, especially when they're you know, he's
- 59:35Speaker 1: just talking to them about his process and like how
- 59:37Speaker 1: he picks people out and oh have you like you
- 59:39Speaker 1: know he's been doing research, Like no, I already have
- 59:41Speaker 1: the girl picked out. He's like, that takes a lot
- 59:42Speaker 1: of time. I wouldn't waste your time by not having anybody.
- 59:45Speaker 1: So he's got this girl picked out, and I guess
- 59:47Speaker 1: like the group of friends because I think it has
- 59:50Speaker 1: started on a dare where someone dared one of the
- 59:53Speaker 1: someone to stay at Leslie's like what was it family
- 59:55Speaker 1: house or something like that old farmhouse, old farmhouse, and
- 59:59Speaker 1: every year people get to stay there. So that's what
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: that's the plan is that on the night of his
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: anniversary of his death, he's going to reappear at that
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: house and just murder the shit out of everyone. So
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: that's the setup, and you're just like, this is so
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: wildly awesome to watch. You don't usually see this side
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: of the movie. You just see the outcome. So spending
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: the whole time setting up the climax is great. And
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: especially when they meet him for the first time. He's
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: doing interviews and you get a sense of who this
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: guy is and what makes him tick. You're like, because
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: you know, I've never also seen a movie where they
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: sit down and interview the killer. Besides, like you know,
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: like the Jeffrey Dahmer tapes, but or whatever. But that's
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: not not even kind of the same thing.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: And it's very apparent that while he seems very put together,
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: he's just completely unhinged the entire time.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's got a plan of action and he
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: knows what he wants to do, but he's totally unhinged
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: hundred percent. You can see it in his eyes and
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: how he laughs and how he giggles. It's like there
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: is some madness behind those eyes. Or I don't like that.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: Or when he gets all giddy when he's about to
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: go do the first killing the library and he's just
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: jumping up and down and gagling, I'm like, man, like
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: you are you are way too happy for what's going
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: on right now.
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: Way too happy. Uh yeah, he's a joke. So he's
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: always fucking with the crew as well. And uh there's
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: a there's a moment too when he's talking them to
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: the camera about uh, you know, working.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: Out and stuff like that.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: He's like, didn't say how much cardio I have to
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: do because it's like all the running man, and then
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: you gotta do that thing where you're walking and everyone
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: else is running. It takes a lot of energy. I
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: was like, that is fucking so brilliant because it's just
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: like they're making a joke out of that, Like they're
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: literally making fun of Slashers on how they walk everywhere
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: and somehow managed to keep up with everyone else. Like
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: that is such And then I'm like fifteen minutes later,
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: he's describing the apple orchard in the middle of the
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: night and he starts freaking out and he just looks
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: at the camera and he goes, I'm fucking with you.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I was like, ah, that's so good.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: Yeah, because it gets all quiet and serious and you're like,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: oh shit, okay.
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: Well because he starts off as they're walking there with
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: going yeah, we gotta go to the we got to
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: find the base for my legend.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: Yeah, just like Okay, he's got everything for his process
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: ready to go. And then yeah, he always talks about
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: how the you know, the he explains final girls a
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: little bit. They all have to be virgins, and she's like,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: how do you know that he's a virgins? Like, just
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: look at her, she's a virgin. Yeah, and that ends
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: up coming to be uh come back around towards the end,
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: which is which is really funny. I don't want to
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: give that away, but uh yeah, and then we see
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: them actually set up the opening shot of the movie
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: where they go mess with the waitress because that's, you know,
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: Kelly is.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: The girl he's trying to Kelly is the final girl.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: Kelly is the final girl, and he's like messing with her.
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: So he goes and does that thing at her job,
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: and then he goes to the library and like sets
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: up this article for her to find because she'll find
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: the article and they won't have it, so she'll have
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: to go to the micro films and like look up
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: all that and it's all fake too.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: It makes the entire mics.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: Goes and replaces it at the library and you're like,
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: this is so fucking ridiculous. This is a lot of
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: work and see if this is what serial killers are
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: out there doing, Oh my god. And then it's funny
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: too because when he goes and sets up that whole
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: scene at the library is cool when he sets everything up,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: because that's when fucking Robert England comes out of nowhere
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: because he's in his get up, you know, trying to
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: scare the shit out of Kelly. And then you know,
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: Robert England shows up Sam Loomis style, Yeah, just exactly
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: like Sam Loomis and he's like Leslie and then he
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: shoots him in the shoulder. He runs away, and so
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: that you know, Doc Hollerin comes over it just like
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: consoles Kelly. I just thought it was so funny. There's
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: trivia about that I'll read because there's a whole bunch
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: of it. But it's just like, yeah, Robert England literally
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: shows am out of nowhere. And I love how they
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: explain him too, because Leslie's like, yeah, that was my
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: psychiatrist as a kid. He came and visited me when
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: I was younger, and he just always knew that I
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: would come back. And I'm like, that doesn't make sense,
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: but we'll go with it for the story and then
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: you find out do we want to reveal the now?
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: No? Kay, I, I would say, because half of the
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: fun of this movie is just watching the plot points
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: be overturned and be like, oh, so that's how they're
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: gonna do that. Oh huh, so that's how they're gonna
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: explain that one. Okay, that's that's half the fun of
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: this movie. Because I had the movie figured out and
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: then it was getting into like the last fifteen to
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: twenty minutes and I was like, maybe I didn't have
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: this movie figured out, and then they give the like
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: final final reveal and I was like, oh, okay, I
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: was right. I just wasn't right about the process.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, So then we won't to say that
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: I would like to talk about. Then we'll talk about
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: what's his face Eugene, Because at some point Leslie takes
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: the crew. They go to meet his Eugene and his wife,
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: and I didn't get what was going on in the
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: beginning because he was in a separate or sensory deprivation
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: tank that was just fucking buried in the ground, and
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: the yeah, he just goes and digs him up, and
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: it's been like three days that he's been in there.
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: I'm like, what, So, what was that supposed to be?
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: So it's so you can train your body to stalk
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: for hours on end and never have to.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: Eat sleep or oh he did say that. Okay, I
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: thought I didn't think he was referencing. Okay, I must
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: have missed the connection there. That makes sense. Well, it
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: turns out that Eugene is a retired serial killer, and
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: the crew interviews him about his time, and he mentions
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: how Jason, Freddie and Mike they changed the game forever
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: by coming back over and over and over again. And
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: then the term red Herring's brought up at one point,
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: so Leslie explains what red herring is. And I just
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: love that they're just handing you all these breadcrumbs for
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: this movie, just like all these little things that we
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: know are tropes, but they're giving them to you, like
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: right in front of your face instead of beating around
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: the bunch. So I find that very a very fun
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: way to tell the story. Already got to the phony
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: news article blah blah blah. Yeah, and then oh, so
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: the librarian is Zelda, by the way, she's a little
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: lady that comes out she I love the backstory she
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: goes in for Kelly. Oh yeah, because Kelly figures out
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: like some information on that thing that's you know, it's
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: all faked. But then you know, Zelda goes into this
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: long backstory on how he'd you know, how Leslie Vernon
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: died and how he was treated and blah blah blah.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: And I was like, that was a good monologue right there.
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Well, and what's really funny about that is earlier in
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: the scene, Leslie was asking Taylor, oh, have you met
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: any weird homeless people recently, which is a reference to
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: what they call in Cabin in the Woods the harbinger,
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: the creepy old person that like delivers the story or
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: the turn back. Now. Wow, so they made Zelda the
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: harbinger and they like directly referenced it before that scene happened.
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: Oh nice, Okay, yeah it was. I was like, oh,
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: that's fun.
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: Yeah, It's just it's just an all around fun movie.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: I mean, I love, I love just the whole premise
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: of interviewing serial Killer because at one point, you know this,
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: you know, the murders start to happen and people get upset,
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: like it's almost like they didn't think that he was
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: gonna do that, you know. Yeah, it's like this is
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: what the whole movie has been about, and they get
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: like upset and then there's like this weird struggle that
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: you'll see. But it's really funny to just watch the
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: whole The whole thing gets set up into the end,
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: and then the ending is just so satisfying and well.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: And the thing that I like the most is they
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: watch what is it three separate people get killed before
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: they have a problem with what's going with, Like, so
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: it was they get what the librarian, one other person,
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: and then they freak out about the two kills in
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: the bedroom, like why did you allow two other people
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: to die beforehand? Did they die? I thought the I didn't.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: I didn't, I don't.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: I don't remember the librarian dying. Did she die?
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh yeah, oh weird. So why why is it
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: now in the house that you have a problem with
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: what's going on and not the two kills prior? Interesting?
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't notice that, but yeah, it's it is
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: kind of funny when that happens.
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: There's a whole power struggle.
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: Then the tone changes and then the story changes, and
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: it's very interesting how quickly this movie can turn Oh
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's a lot of fun.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: So yeah, we had to tell it had to be
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: kind of vague about this one, because going along with
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: the story and finding out everything as it's happening is
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And uh, it's just one of
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: these movies that I feel is not talked about enough.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: I like, you know, and you hadn't even seen it.
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: I hadn't seen it. We had talked about it like
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: a while years ago, and it's always been one of
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: those ones. And I'm like, yeah, I'll get to it.
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: But the name makes it sound so fucking corny.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: And it also sounds like a documentary almost, yeah, and
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: which I mean it is.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: And then Leslie Vernon, like you think it's gonna be
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: Scott Watson being who's Leslie vernonau is such an old
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: man name. Yeah, So it's one of those things that
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: it's like so unassuming and it doesn't even give itself
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: enough credit for what it's doing, which which is the
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: other thing that makes this movie so good is it
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: does all of this without ever like stepping on its
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: own toes because it thinks it's that funny or that good. Exactly,
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: it was like a bunch of college dudes got together
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: and was like, Hey, you want to make a fucking
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: Monty Python style horror movie, super meta movie, Like we're
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: we're we're just gonna make all these jokes that only
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: people in our community you're gonna get. Yeah, it will
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: alienate anyone else that decides to watch it like it.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah. Like this is a movie that if
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: you if if somebody's been bugging you to watch horror
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: movies with them and you're like, I don't want to
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: watch movies with this person because they've never seen any
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: you put on this movie and they're go, eh, I'm good.
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: Yeah right, all right, So we'll just leave it there.
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: This is one just to check out. You gotta just
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: watch this one. It's so much fun, especially if you
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: enjoy found footage style of movies. Do you know mockumentaries
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: U There is a not really a mid or post
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: credits scene, but there is a scene that plays behind
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: the credits that goes all the way through, So stay
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: and watch that. It's pretty cool. Taglines there was only one,
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: and it's perfect. Jason Freddie Myers. We all need someone
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: to look up to. I think that's perfect, right, on
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: point and then let me just give you all the
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: references that are in this movie that I could find,
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: and that we're in the trivia. So at the beginning,
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: Taylor is standing in front of the Red Rabbit Pub.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: This is a reference to the Red Rabbit matchbook found
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: by doctor Loomison Halloween nineteen seventy eight. The first time
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: Taylor interviews Eugene and his wife, a Lament configuration puzzle
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: box from hell Raiser can be seen sitting on the table.
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: I missed that one.
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: I missed that one too, but apparently it was there
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: and I got that one from IMDb. When Leslie and
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: the graduate students are scoping out potential victims at the school,
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: he makes eye contact with a young woman. As this happens,
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: three girls can be spotted playing jump rope in the background,
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: and this is a reference to a nightmare on Elm Street.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: When Leslie first shows up the crew to his home,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: he introduces his pet Turtles, Church and Zoe. These are
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: the names of the resurrected pets from Pet Cemetery, Church
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: being being the cat from Pet Cemetery nineteen eighty nine
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: and Zoe being the dog from Pet Cemetery too. When
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: Leslie first takes Taylor to Me and her to meet
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: Eugene and his wife. The car parked in Eugene's driveway
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: is the same color making model as the car scene
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: and director Sam Raimi's movies. It's that yellow old mobile.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: A boy, which is Sam Ramis car, real car. Yeah,
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: real life still drives that bitch too. Oh yeah.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: Doc Hallarin's wardrobe and beard is nearly identical to that
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: of Donald Pleasant Doctor Loomis from the Halloween film franchise,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: which makes a lot of sense that's what they were
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: going for. There are several character names that are references
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: to classic horror films. For entrance, Doc Hallarin is a
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: mashup of Danny's nickname Doc and Dick Hallarin from The
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: Shining So it's Doc Halarin and Jamie being a reference
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: to Jamie Lee Curtis, who is this final girl in
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: several slasher movies such as Halloween and prom Night. Leslie's
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: I won't say that one because that's actually a yeah,
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: I won't give away that one.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: That's actually kind of a spoiler.
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: When Leslie is applying makeup being interviewed about his target,
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: the song playing in the background is the same as
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: that is heard at the end of the Shining where
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Jack Torrance appears in the photo Midnight the Stars in You,
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: sung by Al Bowley. The character Kelly Curtis is a
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: reference to screen Queen Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis, who
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: happens to have his sister named Kelly Curtis. When Taylor
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: is interviewing Leslie in the shed before the murders take place,
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: herd mittens have the same moose pattern as Kevin McAllister's
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: hat and home alone, the movie contains a subtle reference
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: to the Blair Witch Project. Glen Echo, Maryland, is a
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: real town in Montgomery County, Maryland. Seneca Creek State Park
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: and the town of Burkettsville, the two main shooting locations
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: for the Blair Witch Project, are also located in Montgomery County.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: Glen Echo is about a one hour drive from the
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: town of Burkettsville, in less than half an hour from
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: Seneca Creek State Park, So that's pretty cool. And then
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: a couple of goofs. At the beginning of the film,
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: the title says Glen Echo, Maryland. Later a microfish copy
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: of the local newspaper says Glen Echo Oregon. When Taylor
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: Gentry is running into the apple orchard, you can see
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: set lights at the top of the screen and the
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: opening credit stating or state introducing Nathan Basel. But he
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: has had three previous tell Vision credits, including a major
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: role in a mini series Invasion, So not introducing that
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: was kind of weird. Rated six point seven out of
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: ten on IMDb, three point five out of five on Letterbox,
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: which three point five out of five is huge for
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: found footage. That is a massively good score. I still okay.
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: So when I originally rated this at three to five,
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: that film, it's obviously higher.
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: Now I don't know.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't get it the first time.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: I'm stuck between a four and four five. I cannot
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: actually pick. I'm yeah, that's fair.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: What are you at? So I'm out of three to
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: five only because there was a lot of missed opportunity
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: for practical gore on screen.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: Most kills were off screen or just out of frame.
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: I feel it's probably because there wasn't a high budget,
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: you know what I mean, one hundred percent that's why
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: it was.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: But yeah, I totally get it. But if you would
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: have given me two more quality on screen kills.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: Yeah, two more good ones.
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: You would have gotten a four to five.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: All right, I will since you're giving it a three five.
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: I liked it more than I did the last time,
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: so I will give it a four because, yeah, I
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. It's super meta, it's super funny. I
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: just enjoyed it all around. Okay, so I'll give it
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: a four. You gave it a three five, and yeah,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: if you have AMC plus. Maybe I don't know's it
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: wasn't there for him, but maybe it's hidden somewhere. Maybe
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: that's wrong. Rent it by it, do whatever, test your look.
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: Fright Mayre's certified slap for sure slap So yeah again
