• 1:35
  Speaker 3: together really nicely.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: More candy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Going into this, well before I saw it, just when
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I heard that they were going from just making that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: original reboot... to making a new trilogy because that's immediately
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it jumped from one off to three movies it wasn't
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and it did really well we're gonna have a sequel
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we knew that after we watched the last one because
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it made a ton of money but they immediately jumped
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to okay now we're doing another trilogy so as soon
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: as i heard that and definitely by the time i
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: got to this trailer for the new one i'm just
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: like oh lord this is.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And when I went to see that, I took some
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: friends with me, one of whom doesn't like scary movies.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So he spent the entire time going to the bar
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and getting double wines and kept bringing me double wines.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: So I don't even remember.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: The Headless Horseman. Complete with pumpkin head.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And a sword.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And sword. So he's going to ride up. And Phillip's
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: going to get decapitated.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Is what it looks like right now.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Phillip is in the line.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's what happened to him.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: But they know they live in the Myers house because
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: they told those punk kids about the legend of Michael
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Myers they get weird knocks at the door they notice
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that the back door is open and there is a
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: bloody adult size handprint on the wall and instead of
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: just leaving out the back door and going to get
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: help they stay in the house they split up one
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: on each floor even though they heard footsteps upstairs so
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: they know that he is upstairs one of them stays
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: downstairs And then when the.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think people.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I saw it when it came out, and I was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: still relatively young enough to not really fully get the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: level of weirdness. Like, it was just a weird movie
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to me at the time. It was only years later
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I looked back and went.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like it was mostly, like, a way for
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: them to show a bunch of really gnarly, gory kills,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: which there were a lot of those.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Which there were.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: That's going to come get you.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that one's closest to me. Well, I guess the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: robed skull face guy is closest to me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: The cult member?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yes. I'll just join his cult. It's fine. I love cult.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Sooner or later, it's bound to happen. I feel like
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that's where we're going to be with this in the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: long run. Assuming they wrap things up in this third movie.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: There was a lot going on in that movie. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: loved it. I thought it was great. I thought the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: main kid was....
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Carpenter wrote the second one but somehow he didn't like
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it like which is weird but like years later he
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: didn't love a lot of what went on there so
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: i think he was really involved in the hey let's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: just get rid of that part when they got to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: this new movie the one from 2018 and was like
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: yeah skip all that stuff i wrote in two screw
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that let's just reboot everything so that is like such
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a different take on it and such a new addition.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's rare that you see something really original in any, again,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: any genre, but horror in particular. We've seen so many
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: different variations on things where they're always like a shade off.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: This one is several shades off and like such an
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: interesting take on it and so close to the real world.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Because we've all kind of met that person and they
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: really are just.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And I was trying to remember some of our takes
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: on what happened in the 2018 one.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I went back and.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: We specifically were talking about the bus crash. And we
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: see those other guys go wandering off out of the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: bus crash that he doesn't murder. He murders most of them,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: but there's like two that wander off. At the time,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: we were like, what about.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Always loved his sense of humor.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And that's... It has shaped your weird sense of humor
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that we have now.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And it has a lot of that similar kind
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of humor in it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: It's great.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. They're fictional characters.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I know that kind of.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: But I'm thinking these characters have no idea what's about
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to happen.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Orange goo, black goo.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And I found out a test run a week or
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: so ago when I first saw these. The black will
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: turn your tongue black, so please have some so when
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you go visit your family later, they're like, what the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: hell is going on with you?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Were they trying to say, like, I'm not sure what
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: point they were trying to make about the house versus Laurie,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: because it seemed like it always been like, Michael Myers
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: is coming for Laurie, and that's why they were all
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: so convinced that he was going to come to the hospital,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: and instead he just ends up, all he wants to
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: do is go stand in his sister's room and stare
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: out her window or whatever.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I was thinking that as I was watching that, I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: was like, well, I wonder if Noren's enjoying this a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: little extra because there's a weirdo looking out a window.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: If only you would have walled.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It up so nobody could know he's hiding up there.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Is one of my favorites. She's incredible. I want to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: be her. I love her so much. She has the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: best lines and delivery and just....
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And something, I knew it was awkward, but I don't
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: know if you realized.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: That was my way of dealing with it because it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was so drastically different in that movie, so drastically different
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in this movie. I'm like, okay, we're leaving behind the reality,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: if you want to call it, of the 78 movie.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I feel like that story about Michael Myers is.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: He's the gem.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: His job is for them to say stupid things and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: he just looks at the camera and is just like, what?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: This is my life.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: This is what I have to deal with.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: So he has a real world.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: consciousness that he brings to it that everybody else is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: just oblivious to what's going on why are we the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: audience watching him focus on this character that now he
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: has no tie to really as far as he knows
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: she's been traumatized by him she would have reason to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: be you know fixated on him he's insane why the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: hell would he care about any one victim versus another
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is he sitting around thinking about pj souls all day
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he should be but i mean that's just because she's
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: awesome that was again like they're finding new ways to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: adapt it into like real world stuff going on that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that is very fitting and yet kind of poignant sometimes
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: much more geared towards the audience it's like this is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: what the audience wants this is what i like from
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: all those other halloween sequels i watch but let's wipe
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: all those out and then we're just going to continue
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: on with that kind of thing i'm like.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Everyone comes in a group and then approaches him one
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: by one and just waits for the next person to
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: be murdered before they jump in.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: It's Kung Fu movie rules.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Like you circle around them and then wait your turn
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to go up there and get your ass kicked.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Bash his head in. Smush his brains. Smush his brains in.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It is so old school horror. Like it is torches
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and pitchforks. Like it is. They're chasing down the monster
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: like he's Frankenstein, essentially. The entire village comes out and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: gets their golf clubs and torches and decides to chase
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: him down the street. And, of course, then we get
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: more into the mob mentality of our real world.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And he stands there for a solid 15 seconds as
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Michael Myers slowly walks toward him with the knife and
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: is just like... no turn around turn around go out
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the door i.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Would ask you've seen horror movies before but i know
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you have because we do this all the time.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: These are the horror movie.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Rules the curse of michael myers moments before we were
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: about to record and.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Michael myers was in your house and he was in
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: your house.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: It'd be an idea right.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Aliens aliens brought the mask here.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: But what if it's William Shatner the whole time?
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: This was the whole reason for COVID.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: So you're saying Michael Myers is Bigfoot. New conspiracy.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I might start a separate podcast just about this. Only
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: murders in the building wall of like photos with strings
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: going from one to the other.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: And post-it notes on everything going okay now.
