  the good, the bad, the ugly and the absurd, and all of our
• 0:20
  favorite and least favorite scary movies.

  Because we believe every horror movie rightfully has this fan
• 0:24
  base, even if we don't always get it.
• 0:26
  My name is Travis. My name is Jesse, and welcome
• 0:29
  back to another live, uncut and mostly undrawn bonus episode of
• 0:34
  To Be or Not To Be. This is our monthly bonus series

  about it, decide how we feel about it.
• 0:45
  It's brand new to us. So yeah, yeah, we're we're

  exploring. We're exploring together.
• 0:50
  That's our goal with this, yes. All right.
• 0:53
  So today we are talking. Oh, also, surprise, probably
• 0:57
  won't even have the schedule posted by the time we get this
• 1:00
  uploaded. Because you know what?
• 1:03
  September 1st was a Friday. And it's also the official start
• 1:06
  of Halloween. So we've just been kind of
• 1:09
  having a good weekend and vibing with that.
• 1:11
  And then every so often we'll be like, shit, we need to post the
• 1:13
  schedule. And then we realize that we
• 1:14
  haven't. Yeah, I keep forgetting, man.
• 1:16
  Like, I don't. I don't know.
• 1:17
  I feel like we crept into September and I didn't even
• 1:20
  fully register it and here we are.
• 1:22
  So haven't posted the schedule. Yeah, we have it all though.
• 1:25
  We know what we're gonna be doing.
• 1:26
  Yeah, we have the whole schedule already.
• 1:28
  We actually had it ready like a week early for once.
• 1:31
  But yeah, which is we haven't put it on the sports chat.
• 1:35
  Yeah, a. Lot of spooky stuff happening.
• 1:37
  Yeah. And that's why this is gonna be
• 1:39
  a surprise to me. Or not to be episode cuz we
• 1:42
  didn't even announce it on last week's main episode.
• 1:45
  Yeah, so yay, here we are. Yeah.
• 1:50
  And oh, did you have something you were going to announce?
• 1:52
  No, I was just going to say it was your pick.
• 1:54
  Oh, OK Yeah, it was my pick. And we watched the resort.
• 1:57
  Yeah. So that is a 2021, like a
• 2:01
  paranormal kind of movie. Kind of, Kind of, yeah.
• 2:06
  So I guess are we ready to just go straight into it?
• 2:09
  Yeah, I'm ready to go. Let's do it.
• 2:11
  Hey, this fucking movie The Resort was released July 12th,
• 2:17
  2021. We watched it on TV, written and
• 2:21
  directed by Taylor Chin, music by John Sterry, and special
• 2:25
  effects makeup by George Troster, Graham Showfield and
• 2:29
  Sasha Glasser. OK starring Bianca Haas as Lex
• 2:34
  Brooke O'hearn as Brock, O'hearn as Chris.
• 2:38
  God, that dude. Of course his name is Brock.
• 2:41
  I feel like you. Like if you're named Brock, you
• 2:43
  have to either look like that or you have to be the Pokémon guy.
• 2:46
  Listen, if you don't recognize the name off the top of your
• 2:50
  head, he's one of my strong men. Daddy Torsten, Torsten.
• 2:56
  Torsten and the Righteous Jensen Season 2.
• 2:59
  Well, I almost spoiled something for that, for those who haven't
• 3:02
  seen it, but yeah, he's one of the buff boys from Kelvin's
• 3:05
  cult. Yeah, and you were like, Are you
• 3:08
  sure that's him? As if there's another long
• 3:11
  haired, bearded, 6 1/2 foot tall feud that we see regularly on
• 3:17
  our screens. Yeah, there's several.
• 3:19
  One of them, Jason Memo. Yeah, Jason Memo is going to be
• 3:23
  in this movie. Maybe, I don't know.
• 3:25
  Dave Sheridan's in this movie. That's true.
• 3:28
  Yeah. He plays the detective Michael
• 3:32
  Vlamis as Sam. And Michelle Randolph is Bree.
• 3:37
  All right, Travis, it's time for our favorite game.
• 3:40
  Now I'm not going to OK budget or bug dead.
• 3:45
  You had to do that on your own because you you said bud, bud.
• 3:51
  It's Bug Ted. Come on, man.
• 3:52
  This is super, super low budget. Yeah.
• 3:54
  It's one of those that I don't even have the budget for.
• 3:57
  Yeah, because it's so low. I mean, I'll give them credit.
• 4:00
  It looks pretty nice for a low budget movie, but it's pretty
• 4:03
  clearly Bug Ted opening box office of 88,000 and a worldwide
• 4:09
  gross of 208,000. OK, that's not too bad.
• 4:13
  IMDb score of 3.1. Ooh boy man.
• 4:17
  Yeah, it's down there. I picked three other movies from
• 4:21
  2021. They're all movies that we
• 4:24
  haven't seen yet. Oh, OK.
• 4:27
  So the first one is dashcam. I want to watch that, I was
• 4:31
  gonna say. OK, yeah, I think that's.
• 4:31
  I think all of these are ones that you specifically have said
• 4:34
  you want to. I could be wrong.
• 4:37
  I think that's the person that did host.
• 4:40
  OK. Yeah, think so.
• 4:42
  It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on
• 4:45
  September 11th, 2021. Budget of 100,000 and a
• 4:49
  worldwide gross of 66,000 and IMDb score of 4.6 out of 10.
• 4:57
  Oh really? Jesus.
• 4:59
  OK, I guess I didn't do too well.
• 5:01
  Bad, bad, gross and bad. Score.
• 5:04
  Second movie. Old, old.
• 5:09
  Oh. I haven't expressed interest in
• 5:11
  watching this. You have?
• 5:14
  Yeah, that's. Right, we had a deal.
• 5:16
  You wanna watch the? We will watch this if we OK your
• 5:22
  terms for watching the Knock at the Cabin movie.
• 5:25
  Watch this. Yes, yeah. 2M9 Shyamalan movies,
• 5:28
  one that you're interested in and one that I'm interested in.
• 5:31
  Yeah, because you're like, I don't want to watch old.
• 5:34
  That sounds like a stupid premise.
• 5:36
  And I was like, so does knock at the cab.
• 5:38
  No, no knock at the cabin. OK, like knock at the cabin.
• 5:41
  Seems like it would have a stupid premise, but I like it
• 5:45
  better. I like the concept of that
• 5:47
  better than old. Old like has the making just
• 5:50
  from the trailer, everything I've seen of it of a classic
• 5:54
  Shyamalan shit movie. I was trying to find like
• 5:59
  another S so I get some good alliteration there, but I almost
• 6:03
  got knocked at the cabin. Spoiled for me because I was
• 6:05
  listening to Teen Creeps and they covered the book that it's
• 6:08
  based off of and I was like, huh, The title of this book
• 6:11
  sounds familiar cuz it's like The Cabin at the End of the
• 6:14
  World or something. So it's a different name.
• 6:16
  Okay. And I'm listening to it.
• 6:19
  And then I heard them mention the movie and I was like, oh
• 6:21
  shit, that's the fucking book it's face off of.
• 6:23
  So I turned that off because as much as I don't really care
• 6:26
  about watching that movie, I at least want it to not be spoiled
• 6:30
  because we all know it's Shyamalan.
• 6:31
  So there's going to be a twist. There's always, there's always A
• 6:34
  twist. One of these days he's not going
• 6:36
  to have A twist and that'll be that'll be the twist.
• 6:39
  He's like planned a multi decade plot to like.
• 6:43
  That's how he retires the ultimate troll, he.
• 6:45
  Retires on the movie with no twist.
• 6:47
  It's like a very straightforward movie.
• 6:49
  Anyway, Old premiered July 23rd 2021 with a budget of 18,000,000
• 6:55
  and a worldwide gross of 90 million.
• 6:57
  OK, and an IMDb score of 5.8 out of 10.
• 7:01
  OK. Better than I was expecting.
• 7:04
  And then the third movie is Antlers.
• 7:07
  Ohh, I heard that one did bad. Yeah.
• 7:10
  I remember a lot of people were super excited.
• 7:12
  I remember the trailer. I was like this looks weird, but
• 7:15
  maybe yeah. That's kind of how I felt too.
• 7:18
  But then I've just heard nothing but terrible stuff about it.
• 7:21
  I also a time when I think like this looks weird, but maybe it
• 7:24
  ends up being a good time. As we said in the opening, every
• 7:27
  movie has its fan base exactly, and they deserve it.
• 7:30
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 7:31
  So they're maybe we would like this movie.
• 7:33
  I don't know it premiered October 29th, 2021.
• 7:37
  Couldn't find any budget information but it did make a
• 7:40
  worldwide gross of 18,000,000 and it has an IMDb score of 5.9
• 7:45
  out of 10. Oh, OK, so decent score at
• 7:47
  least. All right.
• 7:49
  Do you want to hear the bad news?
• 7:50
  No taglines. No taglines.
• 7:52
  There is no tagline for taglines.
• 7:54
  No way. Come on.
• 7:56
  There's gotta be. It could have been something
• 7:57
  lines. Could have been something.
• 7:59
  I even pulled up like the posters to see if there's
• 8:01
  anything on there and I couldn't find anything.
• 8:04
  Did they just forget? They're just like it's it's
• 8:07
  whatever. People will watch it or they
• 8:09
  won't. It's the resort, You know it.
• 8:11
  Skull on the poster. It's an island.
• 8:13
  You know it. All right, well, I didn't do
• 8:16
  really any fun fact finding because it's.
• 8:20
  To be or not to be? To be or not to be to bonus
• 8:22
  episode, so we can just go. Straight on our way, yeah.
• 8:25
  We'll make the fun facts are the friends we made along the way,
• 8:29
  yeah. Well, fun fact number one, this
• 8:31
  movie doesn't have a tagline. Is that a fun fact or a sad
• 8:34
  fact? That's a fun fact.
• 8:36
  I think it's fun. All right, Travis, I guess we're
• 8:39
  ready to do good. Bad.
• 8:41
  Ugly. Absurd.
• 8:42
  OK. OK.
• 8:44
  All right. I'll start off with the good,
• 8:45
  OK? Well, I I thought that the
• 8:49
  acting was pretty decent, all things considered.
• 8:52
  I was kind of surprised because I knew that this was a a bug Ted
• 8:56
  movie going into it. But everybody other than Terson,
• 9:01
  aka Chris. Did pretty good.
• 9:04
  Chris is there. Torsten did really good.
• 9:07
  No, Torsten had pretty flat delivery with his lines, I
• 9:10
  think. I think he was.
• 9:12
  He is the least experienced actor.
• 9:14
  Clearly everybody else there did a pretty I know he's got a shit
• 9:17
  ton in his filmography, actually.
• 9:19
  But he's always cast as like for his appearance.
• 9:23
  I guarantee you that's why he got the role on righteous
• 9:25
  gemstones, because he is like a buff big boy and you know.
• 9:29
  Kelvin needed buff big boys, so that's how he was cast.
• 9:33
  Buff men. Boys and I just I disagree with
• 9:38
  you. I think he, I think he did good
• 9:40
  in this. Yeah, I believed him.
• 9:42
  I thought he had a sensitive side to him.
• 9:44
  I don't know. I think you just you don't want
• 9:48
  to think that a buff big boy can be sensitive like that.
• 9:50
  No, I don't have any problems with that.
• 9:52
  I just honestly didn't think that he did the best with
• 9:55
  acting. Also thought that.
• 9:58
  God, what's the other girl's name?
• 10:00
  Bree. Bree.
• 10:00
  Yeah, I didn't think she was super good, but she wasn't bad.
• 10:05
  I don't know. Like I was overall impressed
• 10:08
  with the acting. They were all very like
• 10:10
  stereotypically written characters, so the actors had to
• 10:14
  work with what they had with it. Yeah, especially Sam, and I'll
• 10:17
  get into him in a minute. Other than that, I really liked
• 10:22
  the concept of a haunted resort and I liked the lore of the half
• 10:26
  face girl. Yeah, I thought that that was
• 10:28
  pretty creepy. And that's where my good stops.
• 10:33
  Okay. I really like the concept of it.
• 10:36
  I like that they're exploring a haunted resort because it kind
• 10:41
  of gives me the shining vibes, you know what I mean?
• 10:47
  Where people are like, oh, this hotel is haunted.
• 10:49
  And then it also gives Blair Witch vibes because it literally
• 10:52
  takes some set pieces from Blair Witch it.
• 10:55
  Does. I noticed that too.
• 10:57
  And we also get like a fun frolic through the woods.
• 11:00
  And I always love horror that has like brightly lit set
• 11:03
  pieces. And I think that's part of the
• 11:05
  reason I reached for this movie today, because we watched
• 11:07
  Influencer earlier this week and I was like, I want more island
• 11:11
  based horror. OK yeah.
• 11:14
  And I also really loved Sam's whole death scene.
• 11:19
  I thought that was probably one of the better sequences in the
• 11:21
  movie. Yeah, Sam's is pretty good
• 11:26
  actually. Yeah, that was probably the
• 11:28
  highlight of the movie for me. Yeah, OK.
• 11:30
  All right. So it's your bad.
• 11:33
  OK, so I think that I hate it at the beginning.
• 11:40
  How they kept cutting back and forth from like after the event
• 11:44
  and then before because it didn't flow well it it was super
• 11:48
  jarring. And like I you can do that with
• 11:51
  movies, but I don't think that they handled it super well with
• 11:53
  this. It just kind of made me
• 11:55
  confused. It got better with the longer
• 11:57
  sequences. Yeah, doing it like that is
• 12:00
  better, I think, but like one line at the hospital, getting
• 12:05
  interviewed by the detective and then going back to them,
• 12:08
  planning the party. For like 2 more lines and then
• 12:11
  back and forth like that, it was just too much.
• 12:14
  So I didn't like that off the bat.
• 12:16
  That's how we started this thing.
• 12:18
  Another thing, I noticed that the audio mixing was pretty bad
• 12:22
  in this. Yeah, there were a couple in
• 12:25
  particular. When they're at the helicopter
• 12:28
  and you can see Lex's mouth moving and it's absolute
• 12:32
  silence. And then there's another where
• 12:34
  they're like hiking and Sam and Lex are talking and Bree and
• 12:39
  Chris are talking in the background, but their mic packs
• 12:42
  are at the same. Time turn down?
• 12:45
  Yeah. So, like, I'm getting glimpses
• 12:47
  of their conversation while we're supposed to be hearing
• 12:50
  this important conversation with Lex.
• 12:52
  My my theory is that they didn't realize that the mic packs were
• 12:57
  up so high when they were filming and it was too late to
• 13:00
  like refilm, so they tried to edit it as much as they could.
• 13:03
  I just couldn't. I wonder if they have it like
• 13:06
  this, like we are recording on two separate mics, but it all
• 13:09
  goes into one feed. Yeah.
• 13:10
  I wonder if they had that same type of deal where it all, like
• 13:13
  mixed into one sound wave. Yeah, because like otherwise you
• 13:16
  can just mute them. But yeah, I don't know enough
• 13:18
  about audio equipment for filming.
• 13:21
  Yeah, I don't either. I don't really know enough about
• 13:23
  our audio equipment here. You handle all of that.
• 13:26
  Dude, I'm winging it. I am winging it.
• 13:30
  Like you said before, I thought the characters were super
• 13:32
  generic, especially Sam. He's supposed to play the
• 13:36
  lovable asshole, but what he really ends up being is just an
• 13:40
  asshole. Sean William Scott He is not.
• 13:42
  Yeah, like you need to have some.
• 13:44
  And the actor did find All Things Considered, But like,
• 13:48
  yeah, good, considering he was given, like the douches
• 13:50
  dialogue. He did a good job with his
• 13:53
  delivery of it, but like. There wasn't that he would just
• 13:55
  wasn't written with any nuance or like any charisma like.
• 13:59
  Everything about he was just given, like shitty wine after
• 14:03
  shitty wine with nothing redeeming.
• 14:05
  I like boobies. I like beer.
• 14:07
  I like drinking. I hate ghosts.
• 14:10
  Yeah, now I'm dead. Sex joke.
• 14:12
  Sex joke. Sex joke.
• 14:13
  Here's my butt. Here's my butt again.
• 14:16
  Here's my butt 1/3 time. Sex joke.
• 14:18
  Sex joke. Here's my butt.
• 14:20
  Here's my butt. OK.
• 14:21
  Did you have any additional dad? Hold on, I I feel like we need
• 14:28
  to at least address I. We had to stop for a second and
• 14:31
  I realized after the fact because I played back some
• 14:33
  audio, that we had the little clicking sound.
• 14:35
  So that's done now. I hope so.
• 14:38
  It's a pipe bum. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:40
  Sorry about that. But OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:43
  OK. So yeah, the only other bad
• 14:45
  thing I had was that I thought that some of the editing was bad
• 14:49
  because there was one part in particular where they are like
• 14:52
  right after that scene where they're having that
• 14:55
  conversation. Where we're hearing both sides
• 14:57
  of it, it suddenly cuts to them being lost, and we made like a
• 15:02
  huge chunk of something that they had shot there and it just
• 15:06
  kind of confused me. It was janky.
• 15:08
  I just didn't. I don't know it was bad.
• 15:12
  I think that I this it feels very first or second draft to
• 15:17
  me. The whole movie, yeah.
• 15:20
  And I feel like it's got not to sound like somebody on HGTV.
• 15:25
  It's got really good bones and I think it has like a really
• 15:30
  interesting premise there, a really great setup.
• 15:33
  We've got the friend dynamics. I just wish we had explored all
• 15:37
  of it a little bit more. I agree.
• 15:38
  I feel like we could have rounded out the character some
• 15:41
  smooth some of the story pieces, cut parts from the beginning,
• 15:44
  added more at the resort. I feel like we could have done a
• 15:47
  lot. I am.
• 15:49
  I yeah, you're right. Because I that was one of the
• 15:51
  things I was wanting more of. Like it was a lot of them
• 15:55
  getting to the resort. Like over half the movie it felt
• 15:58
  like was them hiking to the resort, and then the last half
• 16:02
  is them exploring it. And then the last 10 minutes was
• 16:06
  them actually experiencing the spooky stuff.
• 16:09
  It's like they, you know, they're doing the classic
• 16:12
  writing thing of like, OK, how do we force them into this
• 16:15
  situation? This happens, then what?
• 16:17
  Yeah. And like, they just went with
• 16:19
  whatever the first option was. And they, I don't know, like,
• 16:22
  did they tell the actors to ad livid, like what was going on?
• 16:26
  Because they're like this whole argument about the backpack and
• 16:31
  how everybody's so like, oh, I'll just buy you a new backpack
• 16:33
  And she's like, yeah, but my phone and wallet are in there.
• 16:35
  Like, that's a big deal. And she could have run back
• 16:38
  inside real quick. And you know what I mean?
• 16:40
  It's just stuff like that. And like stuff like there's
• 16:44
  clearly like a history between Sam and Bree that wasn't
• 16:47
  explored. I wish we'd gotten more
• 16:48
  background on the half faced girl.
• 16:51
  Yeah, I wanted. I just wanted more of the half
• 16:53
  faced girl. Yeah, like even just like why is
• 16:56
  like OK, yeah, half her face is missing.
• 16:58
  Why? What happened?
• 17:00
  What's her story? What's her deal?
• 17:02
  Yeah. And I like, not even in an
• 17:04
  explanation way, but because, like, that adds to the terror of
• 17:07
  like, OK, are we just afraid of people that have, you know, some
• 17:13
  sort of scarring or are we like, is this part of the mythos to
• 17:17
  her that like, oh, she was attacked this way, so now she
• 17:20
  roams the resort attacking other people this way.
• 17:23
  You know what I mean? Like kind.
• 17:24
  Of like 13 ghosts where they all have their like their own
• 17:26
  stories. Yes, Yeah, like, yeah, a little
• 17:29
  bit like dive a. Little bit more into that war
• 17:31
  and it explains why they have like their preferred methods for
• 17:35
  attacking people. Yeah, you know, like when what's
• 17:38
  her face is in the bathroom, as she always is, and.
• 17:40
  Shannon. Elizabeth, Yeah.
• 17:42
  Yes. And like that goes, that's
• 17:44
  attacking her. It makes sense that she's in the
• 17:46
  bathroom getting her while she's on the tub.
• 17:47
  Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, I wish we had that a
• 17:50
  little bit more. We had some time to play with
• 17:52
  with this. Yeah, we we did cuz yeah, it's
• 17:55
  only an hour and 15 minutes. It's a short movie.
• 17:57
  You could have, definitely. They probably just didn't have
• 18:00
  the budget for all that, probably.
• 18:02
  And it's it's a shame because I think this movie, if it was
• 18:05
  fleshed out a little bit more, could be really great.
• 18:09
  I think this movie was banking more on setting an unsettling
• 18:15
  atmosphere while they explored the resort, and then it caps it
• 18:21
  off with the actual scares that way.
• 18:23
  It leaves you with that. And then I think ultimately
• 18:29
  because of that, like, they didn't really execute that stuff
• 18:32
  well. So I didn't really get much
• 18:34
  dread or anything in the resort. And whenever the spooky stuff
• 18:38
  actually happened, that's whenever I was like, oh, OK,
• 18:40
  this is actually getting kind of good now.
• 18:42
  And then as soon as it gets kind of good, it just stops.
• 18:45
  Yeah, that's the rest of the movie.
• 18:47
  They blew the rest of their budget there in the last 10
• 18:49
  minutes and then boom, yeah, OK, what's your ugly?
• 18:55
  Sam. Yeah, Sam really fucking sucks
• 18:58
  in this movie. He's just a shitty person, just
• 19:03
  all the way through. He's just, I don't know, I don't
• 19:05
  like him. I don't care for that guy.
• 19:07
  And I also thought that some of the effects were pretty bad.
• 19:11
  I I mean Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Activity, Paranormal
• 19:16
  movies in general always has to have that one person that's like
• 19:19
  a non believer. Yeah.
• 19:21
  Whether or not they get changed or they die before they can
• 19:25
  change their mind there, there's always that one person because
• 19:27
  it's a bit of natural friction that you create because you do,
• 19:31
  like there are people in the world, like if you walk into any
• 19:34
  room and you're like, I believe in ghosts, there's going to be
• 19:35
  at least one other person that's like, well, you're dumb, you
• 19:38
  know what I mean? So it's very reasonable to think
• 19:41
  that he exists there and that he's either going to have like a
• 19:44
  huge moment where he's like, ah, those are definitely real, or
• 19:47
  he's going to die at the hands of a ghost.
• 19:51
  And so that's like a very easy bit of conflict to put into a
• 19:55
  movie like this. But like, like you said, give
• 19:59
  him some nuance because he clearly like that whole back
• 20:02
  story about growing up super religious.
• 20:05
  And then he went to college and started learning all these other
• 20:08
  explanations. That is such an interesting
• 20:11
  piece of back story. And I wish that like.
• 20:15
  It mattered to the character more, you know what I mean?
• 20:18
  Yeah, like have a little bit of more depth and layers with that
• 20:22
  cynicism beside. Like show, don't tell.
• 20:25
  Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, it's like, see that he's
• 20:28
  got, like, these mixed feelings about it all.
• 20:30
  Yeah, like whenever things actually start to happen, like
• 20:32
  have him maybe start to question himself.
• 20:35
  But at no point in this movie does he ever question anything.
• 20:38
  He just. He ends up dying before anything
• 20:42
  like happens, Like when he sees the sheet in the tree and he
• 20:45
  thinks it's a ghost. He's not the one that goes and
• 20:47
  discovers it's a a sheet. Yeah, if he was really like, oh,
• 20:51
  stuff like this doesn't exist, why isn't he the one that walked
• 20:53
  over to the sheet and like, he's?
• 20:55
  Too busy peeing. He's like peeing the.
• 20:57
  Whole the entire time, Yeah. But yeah, so I agree with you, I
• 21:04
  think. I think that's definitely a bit
• 21:09
  of ugly. Also, just like, you know,
• 21:12
  making tourism out of like some native land and just be like,
• 21:20
  ah, those locals, you know, they're crazy custom like that's
• 21:24
  that shit's madness. Respectful.
• 21:26
  Everybody has their own customs about like historic battle sites
• 21:30
  and graveyards and stuff like that, and that's clearly what's
• 21:33
  being told here and they're just like.
• 21:35
  Ah, yeah, those fucking losers. Capitalism, am I right?
• 21:39
  We're white. Like, that's how it definitely
• 21:41
  comes across when the video, when they're explaining it all.
• 21:43
  Yeah, like, and that's ugly. And that's also like a very,
• 21:47
  like, real thing. That's true.
• 21:49
  Yeah, you're right. People just disrespect and yeah,
• 21:53
  okay, Which funny enough, we'll tie into our main episode this
• 21:57
  week of Infinity Pool. Boy, we've been really good
• 22:00
  about doing that, right? Yeah, we didn't mean to, but
• 22:03
  it's a good tie in. Okay.
• 22:06
  I'm sorry. I got a couple of things.
• 22:09
  Okay, Okay. When we open, are those guards
• 22:12
  twins? They do look so much alike.
• 22:15
  Don't. They maybe they had the same
• 22:17
  guy. Play him.
• 22:18
  He's like, OK, stand over here and then we'll shoot and we'll
• 22:20
  stand we'll we'll cut it together like have you ever seen
• 22:22
  The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan and?
• 22:25
  If they are twins, you got to acknowledge it, right?
• 22:28
  You can't just have two twin guards there at the beginning of
• 22:31
  the movie, not say anything, have one die and then be like,
• 22:38
  OK, Next up. Back to the pee scene.
• 22:42
  Oh boy, The fact that he whispered Chris over there while
• 22:46
  he was peeing and like the girls just say like they come up for
• 22:49
  anyways. But like, why are you whispering
• 22:51
  at him? They can.
• 22:51
  If he can hear you, they can hear you.
• 22:54
  It's not being discreet at all. Plus you're doing it while
• 22:58
  you're peeing. Like his Dick is still out this
• 23:00
  entire time while having this conversation about a sheet.
• 23:03
  I mean, he just was like full Dick and balls out while they
• 23:07
  were swimming. He was the only one that shows
• 23:09
  to skinny dip. But there's something different
• 23:11
  about it when you're peeing compared to skinny dipping.
• 23:14
  You know what I mean? It makes it a little bit more
• 23:17
  intrusive. Not if he's the one inviting
• 23:20
  them over. Full for people.
• 23:22
  That's why he didn't want the girls there.
• 23:24
  He's like, I don't want him to see a pee and.
• 23:31
  At the end, whenever they're like about to run out of time
• 23:33
  and they're trying to get back to the boat before it leaves,
• 23:37
  Chris is like, I'll dig us out of here.
• 23:39
  And he starts just like tearing weeds out of the ground.
• 23:42
  He's like not actually digging a hole.
• 23:44
  He's just tearing weeds out of the ground.
• 23:46
  You know what I would have loved?
• 23:48
  What if he had like that little little shovel multi tool from
• 23:51
  Never Hike Alone and he just, like whips that out of his
• 23:55
  backpack? It would have been perfect for
• 23:56
  this situation. Ohh man, this thing's actually
• 23:59
  really handy. I'm glad that my favorite back
• 24:02
  camping YouTuber yeah, to me, good tie wink, yeah.
• 24:08
  Good tie in right there. So this is my absurd.
• 24:12
  My absurd is Lexi's grand entrance to the movie because
• 24:19
  their friends are like surprise and she's like guys.
• 24:23
  First a trip to Hawaii and now a surprise cake.
• 24:28
  Too much. And it keeps happening
• 24:31
  throughout the movie, like, guys, a helicopter to the
• 24:35
  island. Like it's so weird.
• 24:39
  She's her order of importance and things is so like, she's
• 24:42
  like, I will gladly accept this free trip to Hawaii, but this
• 24:46
  cake that's too much, too generous.
• 24:51
  Yeah. And yeah, she really does like
• 24:53
  she's got bizarre entitlement because like she's like,
• 24:57
  alright, let's vote. Do we take the trail to the
• 24:59
  resort or the trail to the waterfall and they all vote
• 25:01
  waterfall And she goes, oh and trance.
• 25:04
  And then we're like, OK, it's time to leave.
• 25:05
  And she goes, no, we're staying the night.
• 25:08
  You guys are jerks. You don't want to help me at
• 25:11
  all. You don't believe in me?
• 25:12
  She strikes me as the type of person that writes a surprise me
• 25:17
  with cake on my birthday. And then when she walks in,
• 25:19
  she's like, ah, really guys, is this?
• 25:23
  Is it the chocolate? Like I asked for with the
• 25:25
  Raspberry butter. Ohh yeah, like she's not.
• 25:28
  She gets disappointed. Like Vanilla.
• 25:31
  Yeah, I. Definitely requested chocolate.
• 25:35
  Also, did she have posters of her books up on her apartment
• 25:41
  walls? Is that what we're led to
• 25:42
  believe? I wasn't sure.
• 25:44
  I was curious about what that was, which I'm not like judging
• 25:47
  that at all. If I publish books, yeah, like
• 25:49
  if I publish books or was in movie like.
• 25:52
  We have your Yeah, exactly. Your screen prop on your movie
• 25:55
  here, like, I would totally do that.
• 25:57
  I just like again, it's one of those things that is like, OK,
• 26:00
  she's an established writer. I could see them maybe like
• 26:04
  using that to grease the wheels a little bit to get over to the
• 26:07
  resort. I think that would have been an
• 26:09
  interesting vent on it, you know?
• 26:11
  So yeah, Lex is my absurd. She She's pretty absurd.
• 26:18
  OK, all told what? Whoa.
• 26:22
  OK. What?
• 26:24
  Whoa. That's her.
• 26:26
  That's her attack line. What?
• 26:27
  Whoa whoa. What?
• 26:29
  Whoa? No.
• 26:30
  What? Whoa what whoa like.
• 26:32
  Scooby. What?
• 26:32
  Whoa, that's a rut row rut. Row, listen, don't try and come
• 26:37
  at me with scooby-doo knowledge. We've already established she
• 26:40
  was the scooby-doo fan growing up and it wasn't you.
• 26:43
  That's true. OK, sorry.
• 26:46
  It's really nice out and our neighbor likes to ride his
• 26:48
  motorcycle when that happens. Sometimes you just sits there
• 26:51
  and Revs it, probably for the kids sake.
• 26:54
  You know what? The kids are.
• 26:54
  You're right. So cold.
• 26:56
  Yeah, you're right. OK, I'll indulge him for that.
• 26:58
  They seem like they're a cute family.
• 27:00
  So. Alright.
• 27:01
  Alright. Anyway, anyway, what's your
• 27:02
  ranking? I.
• 27:03
  Think I'm going to have to agree with IMDb and give it a three.
• 27:08
  OK. I didn't think it was a super
• 27:10
  strong movie, I think. It had loads of potential.
• 27:13
  I like the premise, I like, I mean the cast is pretty good and
• 27:19
  that's about it. Like, I don't think it was just
• 27:21
  they didn't take full advantage of what they had set up.
• 27:26
  I'm gonna give it a four, OK? Pretty much for the same reasons
• 27:29
  as you. I really like the premise of it.
• 27:31
  And I think if we had embellished on some of it, cut
• 27:35
  out some of it, smooth the edges, it would have been great.
• 27:38
  Yeah. OK.
• 27:40
  So you ready to disclose? Let's do.
• 27:42
  It OK, so we start off with the security guard at this abandoned
• 27:47
  resort. He comes in.
• 27:49
  Looks like maybe some nonsense has been going on here.
• 27:52
  Find a bottle. At alcohol, Yeah.
• 27:54
  And the security guard well seasoned in his profession.
• 27:57
  It was like, I'm guarding this abandoned resort.
• 27:59
  There shouldn't be an empty bottle here.
• 28:01
  What will? Rut row.
• 28:04
  Yeah, so he goes and he throws his lit cigarette and goes
• 28:10
  investigating and he gets down there and he gets a little girl
• 28:12
  jump scared. From maybe his twin brother,
• 28:15
  yeah. Or maybe himself.
• 28:17
  We don't know. So they're like talking about
• 28:21
  how it seems like maybe somebody's in here and then they
• 28:23
  hear shouting, confirming that somebody isn't here.
• 28:26
  He's like, we need to go check that out and then whoa, he gets
• 28:30
  dragged down the ha. Isn't this weird though, that if
• 28:33
  this haunting the half faced girl has been present throughout
• 28:36
  this entire time that like it would have gotten them a long
• 28:40
  time ago? Maybe back on their first night
• 28:42
  on the job. What if this was the first time
• 28:44
  on the job? I think that generally they
• 28:46
  don't go inside the resort. I feel like it's one of those
• 28:49
  things because they're there to make sure there's no trespasser.
• 28:51
  So he only went inside because it was clear that, like,
• 28:54
  somebody had been there. Yeah, but they say that she
• 28:57
  roams the whole island. Even the movies award doesn't
• 29:00
  even understand. Yeah, yeah, I don't know, I
• 29:05
  don't. Again, we it was an hour 15.
• 29:07
  We could have taken a few more minutes to explain some of this,
• 29:11
  especially 'cause like it was supposed to be a whole
• 29:12
  established thing that she was researching for her book.
• 29:15
  That's true, Yeah. Yeah, like, she could have been
• 29:17
  a good mouthpiece for some of this.
• 29:18
  Why did we have to watch a YouTube video?
• 29:20
  Yeah. She could have just been
• 29:21
  dropping a war. Just like boom, yeah, boom boom.
• 29:24
  Nah, anyway. OK, type a card that a card, and
• 29:28
  then Lex comes in and just like guys, that's too much a luxury
• 29:34
  trip and Kate? I love the editing in this
• 29:38
  though. OK, like the editing is bad, but
• 29:39
  it's where she's like. Get surprised.
• 29:41
  Like, guys, I can't believe you did this.
• 29:44
  And then it cuts to like somebody being rushed in the
• 29:46
  hospital hallway. Like, what the fuck did happen?
• 29:48
  Like, did they like, brush her after that or did she like, eat
• 29:51
  the cake and have some kind of reaction?
• 29:53
  We don't know, but she's like, hi, we told you I'm allergic to
• 29:57
  peanuts. Yeah, it's clearly somebody in a
• 30:00
  life or death situation being rolled down the hallway at a
• 30:03
  hospital. Yeah.
• 30:04
  And then back to the party, Actually, no, no, no, not back
• 30:09
  to the party. Yet.
• 30:10
  They're saying that she was airlifted to the island of Maui
• 30:15
  and that she calmed down what she was told she wasn't on the
• 30:17
  island anymore. And then Deputy Doofy himself
• 30:20
  comes in. He's the detective on this case.
• 30:22
  So, you know, you're in good hands.
• 30:24
  And I will say, Dave Sheridan, I think this is like the
• 30:28
  straightest I've ever seen him play anything ever.
• 30:30
  Yeah. He's a good actor.
• 30:31
  For real, like he did. I was really impressed with him.
• 30:33
  Like because that man can't not make me crack up.
• 30:37
  And like I was like, I'm I I believe you.
• 30:40
  Like I don't think you're being really sarcastic at any point
• 30:43
  with this. Even though I'm sure like, he
• 30:44
  wants to be like he he did a really good jumping it's.
• 30:48
  He's pretty good. So yeah, he's like, all right,
• 30:51
  we need to talk. And so then we go flashback to
• 30:54
  her surprise and they're talking about her book and this upcoming
• 30:58
  trip and they're like, well, actually we have another
• 31:00
  surprise. We're gonna take you to the
• 31:02
  island of Kilahuna and she goes. Guys, guys, is Kilahuna a real
• 31:08
  island? I feel this fake, like Kill
• 31:11
  Ahuna that sounds like you're just trying to make up like a a
• 31:14
  deadly Hawaiian island. Yeah, I'm not sure.
• 31:17
  And there are so many islands like associated with Hawaii that
• 31:22
  like it's. You say it weird.
• 31:25
  Hawaii. I'm pretty sure that's how it's
• 31:27
  actually pronounced. Probably.
• 31:28
  But this, I feel like I heard somebody say that that's the
• 31:31
  correct pronunciation and it's like Hawaii is how like we say
• 31:36
  it. Hawaii.
• 31:37
  Hawaii. Cuz we're not like Hawaiians,
• 31:40
  but it's like actually Hawaii. I swear to God I heard that
• 31:43
  somewhere. Maybe.
• 31:44
  Maybe I'm making that up. No, I believe you.
• 31:46
  OK, just. Yeah, OK, yeah.
• 31:50
  Anyway, so yeah, she wants to study this island in the resort
• 31:56
  because that's what she's writing her books on.
• 31:58
  And as her boyfriend Chris says, as Stephen King says, the devils
• 32:01
  in the details, which I think lends credence to my Shining
• 32:05
  Time theory. Yes.
• 32:06
  However, I don't know if they're dating.
• 32:08
  I think that he's interested. She calls him Babe at one point.
• 32:12
  Really. Yeah.
• 32:13
  Why is she so surprised that he's doing nice things like?
• 32:17
  When like Bree or like Bree had to, like, leak the details to
• 32:21
  relax, Like, by the way, he got you that ticket.
• 32:24
  Like, yeah, if it's a fucking birthday present from your
• 32:28
  boyfriend, of course. Well, that's the thing that's
• 32:30
  confusing about it. And she's like, guys, this isn't
• 32:33
  a free trip. Somebody paid for me.
• 32:35
  It's too much. I don't know.
• 32:40
  OK, whatever. So she's like, yeah, it's
• 32:42
  fucking awesome, you know, Mr. I don't know why I said Mr. I
• 32:47
  don't know. This is a fucking YouTube
• 32:49
  channel. Like they're trying to convince
• 32:52
  the skeptic of the crew, which is Sam.
• 32:56
  Sam Yeah, they're trying to explain the the lore of the
• 33:00
  island. And they should like, this feels
• 33:02
  like one of those videos that we would put on when we want, like
• 33:04
  a spooky moment but don't have time for a whole movie.
• 33:09
  And then like you would turn it off halfway through because
• 33:11
  you'd be like, this is boring, see.
• 33:13
  I feel like this right here, this movie, this little video
• 33:16
  that they put together was effective and I wish that we got
• 33:19
  more of that style in this movie because I feel like if they
• 33:22
  presented a lot of things in this movie like this, it would
• 33:24
  have hit harder. It just didn't.
• 33:27
  I wish they had given a little bit more like specifics, like
• 33:32
  for example such and such and such and such on this day and
• 33:35
  witnesses say and da da da da da, instead of just like some
• 33:39
  guest report riding on the mirror and then the bell hops
• 33:43
  stopped going to that room and so they shut down the resort and
• 33:46
  like it feels like we're missing stuff like where's the
• 33:50
  escalation. It's just it's so crazy that
• 33:53
  this place opened up and then immediately became haunted and
• 33:58
  then immediately shut down. Yeah, but the they still, like,
• 34:04
  maintain the island. I don't know.
• 34:06
  How kind of it is man. It's just not a super well
• 34:09
  thought out I don't think. And like, they have ferries
• 34:11
  there daily. Yeah, but also you're not
• 34:14
  supposed. To go there, there's a boat that
• 34:17
  will leave here only at this time, but like, it's totally
• 34:20
  abandoned. And like, nobody goes to this
• 34:22
  island ever. In fact, I think they even say,
• 34:24
  like, nobody ever goes to this island in this video.
• 34:26
  Like nobody's ever been like they're like, they don't go to
• 34:29
  the side of the island anymore. But then they say, we also hire
• 34:32
  security to make sure there's no trespassers at the resort.
• 34:35
  Also, here's a bunch of footage of the resort like we were
• 34:38
  there. Again, it just feels like the
• 34:40
  script is a very like first or second draft and and it was all
• 34:44
  like solo editing, didn't have an outside perspective be like,
• 34:48
  hey, so this doesn't make sense to me.
• 34:50
  Can you explain this? Yeah.
• 34:52
  Which is why it's OK to have people proofread your stuff and
• 34:56
  ask questions. You want them to poke holes and
• 34:59
  stuff like that because it makes the final product better.
• 35:02
  Exactly. Yes.
• 35:02
  And it's one of those things that if you've got an ego, which
• 35:06
  most artists do, it's fine. It's part of the gig.
• 35:09
  Like it is hard to get that feedback, but it also is
• 35:13
  important. Yes, exactly So.
• 35:16
  And they hone in on Room 306, especially because that's the
• 35:20
  one that apparently had the most haunting sightings.
• 35:25
  So they surprised Lex again with a helicopter.
• 35:30
  Yeah. And I don't think she's, like,
• 35:33
  happy about it. But then sad because she
• 35:35
  remembers that she's afraid of heights or something.
• 35:38
  She's like, no, I was afraid of this, guys.
• 35:43
  They're like, yeah, we know. Like we just thought it would be
• 35:47
  cool to take a helicopter, not a boat for you.
• 35:49
  We have a boat and they're like, but this is cheaper, which I
• 35:54
  call bullshit on that. They're taking.
• 35:57
  They're doing a backdoor helicopter ride over there.
• 36:00
  There's no way that's cheaper than taking it then getting a
• 36:03
  round ticket for the ferry. No, you're right.
• 36:05
  Yeah, helicopters are definitely gonna be way more expensive.
• 36:08
  Also, this is very clearly a riding like I think for the
• 36:12
  script. That way they don't have any
• 36:14
  other way off the island. They don't have their boat
• 36:16
  there. Now they are reliant, like
• 36:19
  they're dependent on another boat.
• 36:20
  Yeah, yeah. So they're dependent on the
• 36:22
  ferry. They haven't gotten on the ferry
• 36:25
  before, so they're not entirely sure.
• 36:27
  And these people are really bad navigators.
• 36:29
  Yes, they're terrible at it. And you know, we've got all the
• 36:33
  usual island stuff, no signal, no cell service.
• 36:36
  Those are the same things. Yeah, which that makes sense.
• 36:40
  You know that that stuff makes sense.
• 36:42
  Yeah. So they're they're gonna go
• 36:45
  hiking and they've got six hours before they have to be back to
• 36:49
  the boat. And so Bree sets a timer on her
• 36:53
  phone. That way they don't forget.
• 36:55
  Which you know what? Good job, Bree.
• 36:57
  I appreciate that. I'm a timer setter.
• 36:59
  Travis will tell you. I've got about 7:00 alarms for
• 37:01
  just like various things throughout the day, cuz I just I
• 37:04
  lose track of time very easily. We'll see how it plays out for
• 37:07
  them, Yeah. So the detective back in the
• 37:13
  present kind of this is less than 24 hours prior.
• 37:16
  Yeah, yeah. So the detective is like, yeah,
• 37:19
  I've been to the island plenty of times as a kid.
• 37:21
  It doesn't. I don't really believe in those
• 37:23
  legends. Nobody goes there.
• 37:26
  I went there all the time. Yeah, Like.
• 37:29
  And then he's also like, so are your friends still there?
• 37:31
  And she says yes. And he's like, OK, cool.
• 37:33
  We want to go save them. She's like, you get there, Dad,
• 37:35
  it's too late. And he's like, but you said
• 37:38
  they're still there. No, they're not.
• 37:41
  What? Yeah, maybe like in the very
• 37:45
  literal sense that their bodies are still there is what she
• 37:47
  means. I don't know.
• 37:50
  So yeah, it's basically it's them hiking through the island
• 37:56
  and it's really pretty and they get to this fork where it's
• 38:00
  really not a fork because the pilot told them clearly stay on
• 38:03
  the marked trails. That's not even like, I mean,
• 38:06
  haunting stuff aside, that's just good.
• 38:08
  Just hiking. Yeah, a rule to go by.
• 38:11
  Yeah, you don't stray from the trail.
• 38:13
  Yeah. It's very confusing, especially
• 38:31
  since it's her birthday present. So she gets outvoted and they
• 38:17
  all go to a waterfall. Her friends do not seem
• 38:19
  concerned about going to the resort.
• 38:21
  I don't know why they arranged for this trip to the island
• 38:24
  specifically. And now that she's like, pushing
• 38:26
  to see the resort, they're like, no, it's kind of confusing,
• 38:29
  right? It.
• 38:33
  Yeah, sort of like, yeah, we're voting not to do the thing that
• 38:36
  you want to do, even though this is your birthday present.
• 38:38
  Like, we're all gonna go to this little lake pond area and just
• 38:42
  like, swim and Sam's gonna get naked.
• 38:45
  Which for now, really. Yeah, we didn't really sign up
• 38:48
  for that part. But you know, it's fine.
• 38:50
  Yeah, it's fine, And then she tells the detector.
• 38:53
  She goes. That's the last time I truly
• 38:55
  felt peace. But actually it wasn't peaceful
• 38:58
  because it felt like the island was trying to push us off.
• 39:00
  Yeah, she's like, I should have. That's whenever I noticed, like
• 39:03
  I should have listened to the island, it was telling us to
• 39:06
  leave. And I'm like, what?
• 39:08
  What? Like, there's like nothing about
• 39:11
  that at all that happens at this point.
• 39:13
  So then this is where they're all talking about their beliefs
• 39:15
  that the paranormal. And you know, we've gotten a lot
• 39:18
  of Lex talking about how she believes it, 'cause every
• 39:20
  culture has some version of the afterlife.
• 39:24
  And Chris is like, yeah, I'm open to the idea that ghosts
• 39:26
  exists. Like, why not?
• 39:28
  And Bree says, you know, if good exists, I think evil also has to
• 39:32
  exist, which that that is, that is discriminatory towards
• 39:39
  ghosts, assuming that all ghosts are evil.
• 39:41
  Honestly, I think that that actor was winging it.
• 39:43
  She was struggling so hard to find the words for that.
• 39:46
  It's like it's like the episode wasn't in the script.
• 39:49
  It's like that episode of Parks and Rec where she's, like,
• 39:53
  giving the Miss America speech or whatever.
• 39:57
  Oh, where she's parodying Miss Teen, South Carolina.
• 40:00
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's very much like that
• 40:03
  like and there's like a definitely good, but I
• 40:07
  personally feel like that there's also bad.
• 40:11
  So yeah, Ghost exists a. Little better than that.
• 40:15
  Not much, honestly. I know.
• 40:17
  What her point was? It doesn't make any sense.
• 40:19
  What are you talking about? There must be good, so there
• 40:21
  must be bad Okay. So that explains ghosts.
• 40:25
  Well, that's why I'm saying that she's a little bit bigoted
• 40:27
  towards the undead, I guess. Yeah, I guess I.
• 40:31
  Don't know so anyway. Sam is like, Oh yeah, no, I used
• 40:35
  to like, have a very religious viewpoint and then I learned
• 40:39
  about science. So none of that anymore.
• 40:42
  For me, his whole story, like I was about to call him now he's
• 40:46
  like, yeah, so like I have this thing where like, I woke up in
• 40:48
  the middle of the night and I was paralyzed and I wrote.
• 40:51
  Sam was religious. I had sleep paralysis, yeah.
• 40:54
  And then learned that that was sleep paralysis.
• 40:57
  I did like, he was like, and then I went to college and I
• 40:59
  learned a little thing about sleep paralysis.
• 41:02
  I was like, OK, this one, Yeah. Good for you, man.
• 41:05
  And this is the pee scene. Oh yeah, so he's like, all
• 41:08
  right, I told my sweet paralysis story, I gotta go pee.
• 41:11
  So he goes to go pee and he sees like what looks like a person
• 41:15
  with a bag over them or a blanket or something.
• 41:18
  It really looks like our girl Agnes that we have for our
• 41:21
  Halloween decorations. That's what I thought she was
• 41:24
  the whole time. I feel like this would have been
• 41:27
  more effective if it was clearly somebody.
• 41:30
  And then whenever they call, he calls, excuse me, whispers for
• 41:33
  Chris to come over, like it ends up being like something else and
• 41:36
  it's just like the little blanket or the curtain or
• 41:39
  whatever it was. Yeah, so anyway, they're all
• 41:43
  like, ha ha ha ha ha, you're peeing.
• 41:46
  They're not even, like, looking at the thing like, ah, look at
• 41:49
  this. Thing they find a radio tower.
• 41:52
  We do have a fun fit where Bree's like it's a cell tower
• 41:56
  and they're like honey, but I don't have service.
• 42:01
  And then Sam. 'S like, I want to climb it and
• 42:03
  they're like, no, it'll electrocute you, which I don't
• 42:05
  think that's how radio covers quick.
• 42:07
  And then he sells the electrocution thing in the worst
• 42:12
  possible way. And then?
• 42:13
  But breezes sweet little dumb dumb.
• 42:16
  And she's like, Sam, are you OK? I can see.
• 42:19
  And then he's like, ah, and you care about me.
• 42:22
  It's like, yeah, that's your fucking girlfriend.
• 42:24
  And then at the same time I'm like, I think maybe.
• 42:26
  Be their exes though. Oh really?
• 42:28
  Yeah. Because at one point, one of his
• 42:30
  butt flashing moments, she says that he needs more squats and
• 42:34
  he's like, you used to like it. Yeah, this still feels like
• 42:37
  they're still together. Like it's just like he took like
• 42:40
  a well, like playful jab too harshly.
• 42:42
  He's like, she's like my butt anymore.
• 42:45
  But I feel like I see what they were trying to do with this
• 42:47
  scene right here. They were trying to have.
• 42:49
  I can see this in another movie and it being endearing and
• 42:52
  playful, but the way that it's acted out and performed and
• 42:56
  written just Sam is kind of like an asshole again.
• 43:00
  Yeah. Again, it's one of those that,
• 43:01
  if they flesh it out a little bit, yeah, had more than one
• 43:04
  draft on it, it would be good, yeah.
• 43:07
  Okay. So they get to the resort and
• 43:12
  Sam completely just fucks shit up.
• 43:14
  He's like, I've always wanted to break windows and it's like,
• 43:18
  dude, you're the reason we don't have nice things.
• 43:20
  You're the reason that we have to, like, have signs at hiking
• 43:24
  trails saying, like, don't leave your fucking trash here.
• 43:27
  Yeah, it's just weird. Like immediately going into the
• 43:30
  resort and then he finds a cinder block and just tosses it
• 43:33
  through a window. Like that's the first thing that
• 43:35
  you want to do. And then I like, in my notes, I
• 43:39
  almost wrote, OK, so he's one of those, like, dangerous,
• 43:42
  impulsive drunks. And then Chris is like, all
• 43:44
  right, you've had enough to drink.
• 43:45
  So I'm like, oh, cool, I clocked that character trait pretty
• 43:48
  easily. Yeah, we haven't mentioned that.
• 43:50
  Like every other shot, he's been hiking.
• 43:53
  He's just, he's got he, he's drink an entire bottle by
• 43:57
  himself. Yeah, and then he's also had,
• 43:59
  like, the little mini shot bottles.
• 44:01
  Yeah, like, the dude's fucked up.
• 44:02
  Yeah, I'm and honestly like that stressed me out so much because
• 44:06
  that much hiking. Like he's gonna be so
• 44:08
  dehydrated. Yeah, and he's got to smell
• 44:11
  awful. Ohh yeah, whatever sweat is
• 44:12
  coming out of his floor is gotta be nasty.
• 44:16
  Anyway, like it made me thirsty washing it.
• 44:21
  So yeah, we they go to room 306 now.
• 44:25
  And they're taking pictures. So those are just like, babe,
• 44:27
  take a picture of me, babe, I look like at the door, go to my
• 44:30
  backpack. I need this from my book.
• 44:33
  Yeah, like what? Why?
• 44:35
  Like, I get that. Like it would be cool to have
• 44:38
  like in the book, like showing that you did your research or
• 44:40
  whatever. But yeah, it could be in like
• 44:42
  what did they call that whenever?
• 44:43
  Like you have like the author information whenever you first
• 44:46
  open the book. I think it's just like an author
• 44:50
  headshot, but don't they have like a little bit of like
• 44:53
  something like a little writing from the author?
• 44:56
  Like acknowledgements. They just like say things or
• 45:00
  intro or they talk. Yeah, they just talk about like
• 45:02
  the author or maybe the. Author Yes, I think the forward
• 45:05
  is what it's called. Yeah, I I can see it being used
• 45:07
  for that. I felt like you kept changing
• 45:09
  the description of what you were trying to get.
• 45:12
  The name of all the things I said are true about books, it's
• 45:14
  in the beginning. It has a picture of them.
• 45:16
  Usually it's about them. Sometimes it's written by them,
• 45:19
  most times it's written by them. You know, but there's like all
• 45:23
  kinds of different versions of that, depending on what you're
• 45:25
  talking about. Man, I don't read a lot of
• 45:27
  books, OK? I know I'm going based off of
• 45:29
  the few books I've read, OK? And I feel like maybe she's
• 45:34
  making a book with pictures. Maybe she's making like a
• 45:37
  graphic novel. I don't know.
• 45:40
  I don't know. It could be anything.
• 45:41
  Anyway, the detective is like, so you did take pictures and
• 45:46
  she's like, yeah. And he was like, that's weird.
• 45:49
  I didn't see any on your phone. She's like, you went through my
• 45:51
  fucking phone. She doesn't say that, but that
• 45:54
  was what I wanted her to say. Yeah, right.
• 45:56
  Like why would, like, I know you're the detective, but that's
• 45:59
  illegal. You can't be going through
• 46:00
  people shit like that. So how did you get into her
• 46:03
  phone? Do you not have it password
• 46:05
  protected Lex? A lot of people have the face
• 46:09
  read thing, which if she were, you know, passed out, he could
• 46:13
  just take her face and unlock it.
• 46:15
  I guess I always hated the facial recognition thing because
• 46:19
  I wear glasses and contacts. So depending on the day, my
• 46:25
  phone didn't know how to handle my face.
• 46:27
  I just don't like the yeah, I just don't like it.
• 46:31
  I don't care for. I like the thumb reading.
• 46:33
  Yeah. OK, so they are hearing sounds.
• 46:40
  Sam has been outside while Chris, Lex, and Bree are inside
• 46:44
  exploring. And they hear like a ruckus and
• 46:47
  they go outside and they see swarms of what we later learn
• 46:50
  are birds. I thought maybe we're locusts,
• 46:52
  but that might just be like a righteous gemstones bias that
• 46:56
  Torsten possibly nice. Invoked in me it's just birds
• 47:02
  being birds, but they're like, oh spooky, haunting, haunting,
• 47:06
  ghosts, ghost birds. I thought something was gonna
• 47:08
  happen to Sam in this moment. Honestly, I did too, because I
• 47:12
  really thought he would be the first to go considering his
• 47:14
  whole like anti ghost rhetoric. Yeah.
• 47:17
  Plus they have him isolated. Yeah, it would be.
• 47:19
  It made sense, but instead it's just like.
• 47:22
  They maybe they plan that, but they didn't have the budget to
• 47:24
  do it because the storms of birds were clearly like on a
• 47:27
  repeat loop, like you can make it work.
• 47:30
  OK, maybe the birds were supposed to attack Birdemic.
• 47:33
  I was gonna say, I wish that they'd just done the same
• 47:35
  effects as Birdemic. Yeah, I would respect it
• 47:39
  totally. Like, especially if everything
• 47:41
  else looked nice and then suddenly it's just like just
• 47:44
  like fake puppet birds attacking.
• 47:46
  Amazing. Yeah, I would love it.
• 47:49
  Velocipaster did the same thing. Yes, I would.
• 47:52
  I would live. I would respect this, maybe
• 47:54
  leaning into his low budget status.
• 47:56
  Yeah. So they now are like, OK, it's
• 47:59
  5:45, we need to get out of here.
• 48:01
  Like doesn't really want to go though.
• 48:03
  She's like, but we brought flashlights.
• 48:05
  Clearly, we're planning to be here past dark.
• 48:08
  And they're like, no, we brought them for the hike back.
• 48:12
  Yeah, once. It takes like over an hour for
• 48:14
  us to get back to the where the boat's going to be.
• 48:17
  So we need to go. And she's like, no, we got time.
• 48:19
  Like, you know, 545, OK, we definitely have time to do this.
• 48:23
  And then the Chris starts digging by pulling weeds out of
• 48:27
  a fence. They all can't agree where they
• 48:29
  came in at. And for a minute I like, I
• 48:31
  thought we were going to have, like, a night of the demons
• 48:33
  moment. We're like, no, this is
• 48:34
  definitely the way we came in. And now there's a fence in the
• 48:36
  way. Yeah, yeah.
• 48:37
  But instead, they're just, like disoriented.
• 48:39
  No, it's just like, that's all it is.
• 48:41
  And then she's like, where's my backpack?
• 48:43
  Chris, you left my backpack upstairs.
• 48:46
  I'm sorry. Why is it his fucking
• 48:48
  responsibility to get your backpack, Lex?
• 48:50
  I bet she planted it. She's like, oh, you guys, you
• 48:53
  fuckers want to leave? All right, I'm leaving my
• 48:55
  backpack. Sorry, another tie in to
• 48:57
  Infinity pool with him and his fucking passport.
• 48:59
  That's true, yeah. So they're they reluctantly
• 49:04
  agree to go back to the resort to get her backpack, but it does
• 49:07
  not have. To be such a big argument, it
• 49:09
  could have been like, OK, let's run in real quick.
• 49:11
  Well, I mean, honestly, like, I guess, yeah, I know you need it,
• 49:14
  but you also need to get off the island.
• 49:16
  I think that's the higher priority.
• 49:18
  They're staying. They said that they're staying
• 49:20
  there for a week. They can come back and get.
• 49:22
  It that's true, who's gonna steal the backpack?
• 49:25
  But, like, that would have made more sense for them to say that
• 49:28
  instead of Chris being like, I'll buy you a new backpack and
• 49:30
  everything like my phone and wallet are in there, he goes.
• 49:32
  So no, they don't. No, they're like, but you don't,
• 49:35
  don't, don't you have it all backed up and she's like, I
• 49:37
  don't know, maybe it doesn't matter.
• 49:38
  I need my shit. Like which there's no way.
• 49:41
  If she is a published author and has multiple books, there is no
• 49:44
  way that she does not have multiple backups of her notes.
• 49:47
  There is absolutely no way, No established authors like, Yep, I
• 49:52
  keep one copy that's not backed up anywhere.
• 49:54
  It's on a single device, and I'm not at all concerned about that.
• 49:58
  Like nobody does that until X. Came until X came along.
• 50:02
  She's like guys, multiple devices and backups is too much.
• 50:07
  That's what's in the forward of her books.
• 50:09
  Just like what? Is this relevant to this?
• 50:13
  OK, so they go back there to go get it.
• 50:15
  Backpack's gone, not in the room that they were in 306, so they
• 50:19
  start looking around trying to find it.
• 50:21
  Chris finds a dead coyote in the backpack in a room and they're
• 50:25
  like, I don't even know coyotes were over here in this state.
• 50:29
  And he goes they aren't. And then we never visit this
• 50:33
  again. Like, just like, Yeah, like.
• 50:36
  That's it. Ghost Coyote.
• 50:38
  What happened? Where did this?
• 50:40
  What the fuck? Yeah, right.
• 50:43
  You know, this is a little bit more upsetting now that they
• 50:45
  didn't even acknowledge it. Like just like.
• 50:48
  Yeah, that sure is weird. All right, here's your bloody
• 50:51
  backpack. Let's go.
• 50:53
  Yeah. What?
• 50:54
  What the fuck? I don't fucking know.
• 50:56
  OK, so, yeah. All right, the backpacks there.
• 50:59
  All right, let's get going. Oh, there's.
• 51:01
  They start to hear a noise, so they go to investigate.
• 51:04
  This is where the security guard is coming in.
• 51:06
  So now we know where the security guard was at, and I did
• 51:08
  like. This cuz I didn't expect the
• 51:09
  security guards to be part of this.
• 51:11
  I thought it was just like a spooky opening to show that the
• 51:14
  resort is haunted. Yeah, so it was kind of nice
• 51:16
  that we see like the kids side of things after we'd seen the
• 51:20
  security guards side of things so we know exactly what was
• 51:22
  happening. And that's a nice twist that
• 51:24
  doesn't end up paying off at all.
• 51:26
  No, not at all. I mean, like they see the
• 51:27
  cigarette that he had at the beginning, like, oh Sam, are you
• 51:31
  still smoking? You were supposed to be smoking.
• 51:32
  I was like, no, I've had 1-6 months and then they see that
• 51:35
  the security truck is outside, so they go over there to try and
• 51:39
  get in it. But then everybody gets a
• 51:40
  conscious and they're like, well, we can't leave this guy
• 51:43
  and so. No, they don't get a conscience.
• 51:45
  Chris steals the keys so that way they can't steal the truck.
• 51:50
  And so Sam gets out, starts fighting with him, which is a
• 51:54
  dumb move to fight somebody that has more muscle mass on his body
• 51:58
  than you have. Like actual density.
• 52:01
  Yeah, this guy's a fucking mountain.
• 52:03
  Like, yeah, and he's his face instantly gets bruised up
• 52:06
  because they're fighting and Bree is just like, I'm not
• 52:08
  getting out in the middle of this.
• 52:10
  And then guess what? The truck doors slam themselves,
• 52:12
  they lock themselves, and they're trying to like bust
• 52:16
  windows because that's the only thing Sam can contribute to
• 52:18
  anything. Ever.
• 52:20
  And then the truck starts on its own.
• 52:23
  And then it slams through the gate and over a balcony down
• 52:26
  several stories and Chris goes to investigate and.
• 52:30
  She's Chris. Chris is like, we just need to
• 52:32
  go. And Alexis like, no, we need to
• 52:34
  see if she's a lot like we're not gonna make the boat anyway,
• 52:37
  We can't leave the security guard.
• 52:39
  She'll be OK. Can't leave the security guard,
• 52:42
  our best friend. Yeah, fucker.
• 52:44
  Yeah, it's fine. It's just Brie.
• 52:46
  Yeah. So Chris goes down to check on
• 52:49
  her. She's very dead.
• 52:52
  Like she's super dead. Like she's she's predictably
• 52:55
  dead. So they're trying to find
• 52:58
  another way out. The three of them that are left,
• 53:03
  yeah, but spooky. They see the half face girl,
• 53:08
  she's in the lobby and then she starts chasing them.
• 53:10
  And then the detective back in the present kind of is like, so
• 53:14
  you're telling me this truck moved on its own or do you not
• 53:17
  think it's reasonable that maybe she hit the gear shift, which I
• 53:22
  feel like that's such a good tie in to the whole, like explaining
• 53:25
  the paranormal with the daytoday stuff like they have that like
• 53:29
  through line in this movie that they could have expanded upon
• 53:32
  more and I wish they had. Yeah.
• 53:36
  So yeah, they are seeing the ghost.
• 53:41
  Multiple ghosts maybe? It's kind of hard to tell.
• 53:43
  I think it's just the one. I think it's just her half faced
• 53:47
  girl. She's just chasing around the
• 53:48
  resort. So they're trying to find.
• 53:51
  Exit. Sam had found an exit by the
• 53:54
  pool earlier, so they're trying to get him to find it again.
• 53:56
  And in the basement they hear giggling and footsteps.
• 53:59
  And this is legitimately, probably the creepiest part of
• 54:01
  the movie. Yeah, it is, Yeah.
• 54:02
  And it just it goes so quickly too.
• 54:05
  Yeah, I wish we got more of this type of stuff.
• 54:07
  Yes, I wish that like. Maybe the beginning had been
• 54:10
  about 20 minutes of buildup and then we had like these types of
• 54:13
  moments for the rest of that exactly.
• 54:16
  So yeah, the ghost comes up and they're like freaking out and
• 54:21
  they're like, OK, well, we all just need to stick together.
• 54:23
  So of course Sam immediately gets separated because the ghost
• 54:26
  has grabbed him and they. Are like shit.
• 54:36
  Yep. Sam's gone, so they go looking
• 54:33
  for him and it's a full Blair Witch Project moment.
• 54:37
  As he's just up against the wall.
• 54:38
  Except then we get to see the ending that we assume happened
• 54:42
  after the credits rolled on Blair Witch Project, which is
• 54:45
  him turn around. And attack Chris?
• 54:48
  Yeah, but once he's actually overpowering him, yeah, he's got
• 54:51
  his head backwards. He's like definitely, like, full
• 54:53
  on Ghost now. He's got like, black veins,
• 54:56
  yeah. So he's like choking out Chris.
• 54:58
  And then Lex gets like a pair of scissors or something.
• 55:01
  And stabs him in the throat and then Sam goes, why would you do
• 55:05
  that? And I was like, oh shit, did he
• 55:06
  do another prank? I thought that was happening,
• 55:08
  too. But no, he's just like a sad
• 55:10
  ghost. Like, what the fuck would you
• 55:11
  send me? And then why?
• 55:12
  Would you do that and then? Hands reach and pull his face
• 55:17
  apart. It was actually really gross.
• 55:20
  This was cool. I like this.
• 55:22
  I like that half Face girl turns him into no face boy.
• 55:25
  Yeah, like it's it's a really well done scene and then like
• 55:30
  she starts chasing them and they make it to an elevator, but they
• 55:34
  have to wait for it to come down to therefore.
• 55:37
  And so then the lights start flickering and ghost Sam is
• 55:40
  going legs which like. I don't know if you're planning
• 55:45
  to have a ghost ominously say somebody's name.
• 55:49
  Maybe name the character with more syllables.
• 55:52
  Yeah, licks, licks. It says it so many times to like
• 55:57
  licks, licks. Yeah, so.
• 56:01
  Eventually, like Chris was like, alright, leave my girlfriend
• 56:04
  alone Mr. Ghost man. And then the ghost is like, fuck
• 56:07
  you and like pushes him to the ground and stomps his skull and
• 56:11
  Michael Myers style. Yeah, I was pretty sick.
• 56:13
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 56:14
  Curb stomps his ass. Yeah.
• 56:16
  Then the elevator arrives. She gets in there, gets up to
• 56:20
  the. That's correct.
• 56:20
  Like a freight lift, kind of almost like it's like, yeah,
• 56:24
  gets their machinery up to the top level or whatever.
• 56:28
  Either that or like a really outdated.
• 56:30
  No, I don't. I think it's like it's a
• 56:32
  maintenance lift. It's not like a there no high
• 56:35
  end resort is going to put its guests on a lift like this,
• 56:39
  that's true. And also that resort was built
• 56:41
  in the 90s, he said. Yeah, yeah.
• 56:43
  OK, well, OK, she gets up there and she gets into a hallway and
• 56:46
  then she starts hearing Bree singing Happy Birthday.
• 56:49
  Which this is kind of creepy too.
• 56:52
  Yeah, it could have been. It could have like like she's, I
• 56:55
  guess, sung happy birthday. And then suddenly, the room goes
• 56:58
  white. Yeah, it's like she enters the
• 57:00
  take on me. Music video.
• 57:02
  Yeah, I don't know what happened here.
• 57:05
  They ran out of budget. Like suddenly just everything
• 57:04
  turns white around. Yeah, like, all right, green
• 57:08
  screen just put white there. I don't know.
• 57:10
  I don't know. I don't know.
• 57:11
  I thought maybe it was like a is this like her Whiting out or
• 57:15
  something? I don't know.
• 57:16
  I don't know. But then the detectors like, all
• 57:18
  right. Sounds legit.
• 57:20
  We're going to send some officers over to the island,
• 57:23
  Yeah. And so she takes her phone out
• 57:25
  of the evidence bag and her phone can see him through the
• 57:30
  through the sheet, his black veins.
• 57:33
  Yeah. No, no.
• 57:34
  Well, I don't know, like, but no, he's like when she's doing
• 57:38
  that, he's in the room. But like before that, we did see
• 57:40
  him go to the other side. Yeah.
• 57:42
  So she's like taking a picture of him, but she can see his like
• 57:45
  ghost veins. Yeah.
• 57:46
  And then she's like, what? And then he like and she like
• 57:50
  crawls out of the bed and he attacks her.
• 57:52
  And then she's actually dead and still on the island.
• 57:55
  Yeah, just like puts the phone down, go stay shared and
• 58:00
  screaming at her and then we get half a squirrel.
• 58:03
  This is where it gets really bad with the effects I think.
• 58:07
  Nothing here looks good at all. Yeah, it's like they just, they
• 58:10
  were like, couldn't think of an ending.
• 58:12
  So they ended it with chaos. And I think, yeah, listen, I
• 58:17
  don't mind like she was actually dead the whole time.
• 58:20
  Twist I don't think that's what happened.
• 58:23
  I what I thought was like, they made her think that she was in a
• 58:28
  hospital, but then like it reveals she's still in the
• 58:30
  resort. But she, like, had ghost veins
• 58:32
  too when they pulled out from her.
• 58:34
  Oh, did they? Yeah.
• 58:35
  Oh, shit. I didn't realize that.
• 58:36
  Oh, yeah. OK, well then.
• 58:38
  So like, I don't know. I think this there were more
• 58:44
  problems when we went through and talked about it.
• 58:46
  Yeah, there, there's a lot. And I think it's it's such a
• 58:50
  solid premise and it's got some really good ideas.
• 58:52
  It just feels very like it needs another pass.
• 58:56
  Yes, desperately. Like it needs a little of the
• 58:59
  scripts and some reshoots and some editing and it could be
• 59:03
  really great. I I like the premise of it.
• 59:06
  I was really sold by the trailer when we watched it.
• 59:09
  And yeah, I like it did. It didn't meet my expectations
• 59:14
  based on the trailer, and not in like a good way.
• 59:17
  Yeah, I think what they could have done is cut down on some of
• 59:24
  the hiking to the resort, focus a little bit more on the
• 59:27
  spookiness that's happening at the resort, and have the
• 59:31
  halffaced girl be more of a presence there because they were
• 59:35
  hyping her up from the very beginning.
• 59:37
  And like, we get her and she's great when we do get her, but
• 59:40
  like, we don't get enough of her, I don't think.
• 59:42
  Or like even if we keep all of the hiking, like make it matter.
• 59:46
  Develop their relationships a little bit more, gets people a
• 59:49
  little bit multi dimensionality to their personalities and have
• 59:53
  like spooky stuff happening because we're told that the
• 59:55
  whole this whole set of the island is supposedly haunted.
• 59:58
  Yeah, other than that one thing where he's peeing and he thinks
• 1:00:01
  he sees something like, you know, have more other than that.
• 1:00:04
  Yeah, I like. I think it could be really good.
• 1:00:08
  I hope somebody like 5 years from now remakes it.
• 1:00:11
  Or they just do a sequel or something.
• 1:00:13
  I don't know. Yeah.
• 1:00:15
  Yeah, there's there's so much potential there with this.
• 1:00:17
  Yeah, it's it's, and it's got some really scary moments.
• 1:00:20
  Like I said, I think Sam's whole death scene holds up pretty
• 1:00:23
  well. Like that sequence from when
• 1:00:25
  they get down into the basement until he has his face torn off.
• 1:00:27
  Yeah, really solid. I think so too.
• 1:00:31
  I just wish the rest of the movie was like that.
• 1:00:33
  Me too. Me too.
• 1:00:35
  And like we barely get anytime focusing on Bree and Chris's
• 1:00:38
  death. Like.
• 1:00:39
  Yeah, you're right. Yeah, it doesn't really.
• 1:00:42
  Like, it just happens and they're like, forgotten.
• 1:00:45
  Yeah, so I'm bumping mine down. I hate this.
• 1:00:51
  What are you making it 3.5? Oh, OK.
• 1:00:54
  I'm keeping mine AT3OK, so we went from a 3.5 average to a
• 1:00:58
  3.25. Travis, what do you think
• 1:01:02
  Scout's favorite part was? This is a tough one, but I think
• 1:01:09
  her favorite part? I guess whenever Sam gets naked
• 1:01:15
  and jumps into the water because she does that.
• 1:01:19
  Nope. Obviously, her favorite part is
• 1:01:22
  when everybody watches him pee. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:29
  OK, who did you relate to? I don't know.
• 1:01:37
  I guess like as shitty as he is, I related to Sam and the fact
• 1:01:42
  that like I am like the paranormal skeptic of the two of
• 1:01:47
  us. Definitely.
• 1:01:49
  Like, but I I have more respect for it than he does.
• 1:01:52
  I'm like a combination between him and Chris with like Chris
• 1:01:57
  understands it and he fully believes in it.
• 1:02:00
  I think however like I understand it but I don't
• 1:02:02
  necessarily believe in it. I would say that I probably, I
• 1:02:10
  would probably relate to Chris like the believing but not
• 1:02:14
  necessarily super into ghost hunting and then he like playing
• 1:02:19
  peacekeeper, like trying to keep everybody mellow and also be a
• 1:02:23
  little bit of like the moral conscience like hey, we can't
• 1:02:25
  seal the security guards truck like.
• 1:02:27
  But also fuck Bree like, but also fuck Bree like.
• 1:02:30
  You gotta know when you cut the, like, the ties there.
• 1:02:32
  Yeah, I mean, you know, at a certain point, sentimentality
• 1:02:36
  out the one. Who's that for?
• 1:02:37
  Ghosts are there. Come on, man.
• 1:02:39
  Can't be caring about people. Okay, do we have a dream sequel?
• 1:02:44
  Like, if we did get a sequel to this, like how they could have
• 1:02:49
  like, built on this war? I feel like they have a lot to
• 1:02:52
  build on here. I think it would be really fun.
• 1:02:54
  So that Channel that they show at the beginning with the
• 1:02:57
  YouTube channel, yeah, like, they're like, man, we've got an
• 1:02:59
  update to the island of Kilahuna, and they're talking
• 1:03:03
  about, oh, this author and her group of friends went to go
• 1:03:07
  investigate because she's researching for her book.
• 1:03:10
  And so they want to go on a research tour, but they're not
• 1:03:14
  like, going to the island intentionally.
• 1:03:17
  Like, they're going to like other parts, like the islands
• 1:03:21
  surrounding Kilahuna, and they're interviewing people that
• 1:03:23
  know about it. Something happens that forces
• 1:03:26
  them over there against their will.
• 1:03:29
  Just that way. We're not like retreading the
• 1:03:30
  exact same story. Yeah, OK.
• 1:03:33
  That thing, that's fine. You know, honestly though, I
• 1:03:35
  feel like this one right here, you can have a little bit more
• 1:03:37
  retreading, especially if you're approving on things.
• 1:03:40
  That's true. But I like your premise there.
• 1:03:43
  I like that as a setup. I'm gonna propose that we get
• 1:03:48
  Felissa rows in this one because if you have Dave shared and
• 1:03:52
  they're they're a package, so you gotta have yeah, they're a
• 1:03:55
  bonded pair. Yeah, so like, have her be like
• 1:03:58
  one of the ghosts at the resort and.
• 1:04:01
  Obviously they've shared, and it's more of a ghost presence
• 1:04:04
  since we know that he's a ghost now, yeah.
• 1:04:09
  Yeah, I don't know. Give us some more.
• 1:04:13
  Half faced girl. And now you got a new one.
• 1:04:15
  You got no face, Sam. Yeah.
• 1:04:19
  So yeah, okay. Did you get a review for this?
• 1:04:25
  I did okay. Yeah, we did.
• 1:04:27
  I pulled a good and bad review, cuz I think we had previously
• 1:04:30
  talked about maybe doing that with the TV or not to be a.
• 1:04:32
  We did. So I wanna start with the bad
• 1:04:36
  one because of something that you said at the beginning of the
• 1:04:38
  episode. Okay, I thought this horror
• 1:04:41
  movie would never get going. And I was right.
• 1:04:43
  It never did. It bopped along for about an
• 1:04:46
  hour and then decided to actually become a horror slash
• 1:04:48
  ghost story. The last 15 minutes weren't
• 1:04:50
  worth the wait. The ending was exactly what I
• 1:04:52
  thought it would be. I think I'll watch 13 Ghosts
• 1:04:55
  again. Hey, yeah, honestly, 13 Ghosts
• 1:04:58
  is like a better telling of this type of story.
• 1:05:00
  Yeah. Again, I I agree with what
• 1:05:04
  they're saying that it like didn't really cover anything new
• 1:05:10
  and which is not necessarily a problem, but if you do that, you
• 1:05:13
  need to do it well. Or make it fun.
• 1:05:17
  Or yeah, scary. Like, you can do like the same
• 1:05:20
  old and still keep it creepy. Yeah, it's just it's lukewarm
• 1:05:24
  the whole time. Yeah.
• 1:05:27
  On the other hand. Curious to see what somebody
• 1:05:29
  that loved this movie says. Had a lot of time on my hands.
• 1:05:33
  Quarantining and had just watched Fantasy Island 2020.
• 1:05:36
  So my fiance and I decided to watch the resort.
• 1:05:38
  Sticking with the island theme. Yep, the actors are likable and
• 1:05:42
  the script is intelligent. Shots are beautiful.
• 1:05:45
  Predictably, starts to get scary when the cast arrives at the
• 1:05:47
  haunted resort because the main character tells us when it's
• 1:05:50
  going to happen. I feel like the characters
• 1:05:53
  started dying a little too fast. They could have extended the
• 1:05:56
  scares another 10 to 15 minutes before people start dying.
• 1:06:01
  Interesting. The half face girl should have
• 1:06:03
  been more prominent and with more back story the end came way
• 1:06:06
  too fast. Could have been more realistic
• 1:06:08
  considering the whole hospital scene was a dream.
• 1:06:10
  Where did the detectives character come from?
• 1:06:12
  All the other characters in a movie had a good reason to turn
• 1:06:15
  in the film but the detective was really just a figment of the
• 1:06:17
  main characters imagination. Nice first feature, Taylor.
• 1:06:21
  Oh, is this this person's first movie then?
• 1:06:22
  Yeah, I think so. Well, you know, like I can see
• 1:06:27
  they had a lot of things that we said.
• 1:06:29
  Yeah, they just ended up actually liking it more than we
• 1:06:32
  did, which that's, you know, like I don't know.
• 1:06:35
  Like I I don't really. I I agree with all of their
• 1:06:39
  criticisms. I think it's just because it has
• 1:06:41
  such potential. And like, that's the thing that
• 1:06:43
  I feel like I consistently do on here is when I see like a film's
• 1:06:46
  potential and a director's potential not live up to it.
• 1:06:51
  I'm frustrated with them because they have, like, they have the
• 1:06:54
  skills, they have the goods. They just need to, like, go for
• 1:06:57
  it. Yeah, I mean, push a little
• 1:06:59
  more. They are right.
• 1:07:00
  This movie is well shot. Yeah, it's well put together as
• 1:07:03
  like audio side, audio side. But everything else about it is
• 1:07:07
  pretty well done. I don't necessarily agree with
• 1:07:10
  them killing the people too soon.
• 1:07:11
  Like they didn't die until the end of the movie.
• 1:07:15
  I think they mean like there wasn't enough scary stuff
• 1:07:18
  happening before the deaths. It's like they got spooky and
• 1:07:20
  then boom, death. Yeah, that's that's exactly what
• 1:07:23
  happened. Yeah, we needed to have a little
• 1:07:24
  bit more like narrowly escaping some stuff.
• 1:07:26
  So that way like we get our hearts pump in and then we get
• 1:07:29
  that like release with the death.
• 1:07:31
  Yeah, they just, it was all build up and then once they got
• 1:07:34
  there, they just let it all out in 10 minutes and then that was
• 1:07:37
  it. Yeah.
• 1:07:38
  OK. Well, I get.
• 1:07:40
  I get it. Yeah.
• 1:07:41
  OK. So, Travis.
• 1:07:44
  Yes to chiller question to be or not to be?
• 1:07:52
  I'd have to thumbs this one down.
• 1:07:54
  OK, I'd say you don't really need to see it.
• 1:07:57
  There's a lot of better movies that tell this type of story in
• 1:08:04
  more entertaining ways. I'm not mad that we watched it.
• 1:08:09
  It's just I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.
• 1:08:14
  It's I don't know that I would necessarily watch it again.
• 1:08:16
  I think if it was on in the background I wouldn't
• 1:08:19
  necessarily care too much like because there's some movies that
• 1:08:21
  you know, I'm like I don't want this on at all.
• 1:08:24
  This is one that if it's on in the background, I don't know
• 1:08:26
  that I'm necessarily going to go searching out.
• 1:08:28
  I would tell people that you can check it out for yourself.
• 1:08:32
  I feel like it's worth viewing and coming to your own
• 1:08:35
  conclusions, as we see some people had the same issues with
• 1:08:38
  us, but they weren't as big hangups.
• 1:08:40
  I I agree with that. But would you personally
• 1:08:43
  recommend this to anybody? I might recommend it to like I
• 1:08:47
  have a coworker that's kind of dipping her toe into scary
• 1:08:50
  movies and we have our whole system of like, is this a
• 1:08:54
  nighttime movie or daytime movie?
• 1:08:55
  Like, I would tell her that she could watch this and it would be
• 1:08:58
  a nighttime movie. I mean, she wouldn't be too
• 1:08:59
  spooked being at home alone after like.
• 1:09:02
  I guess it depends on if, like, the stuff at the end gets her
• 1:09:05
  cuz like, it gets kind of creepy there at the end.
• 1:09:26
  Yeah, I'd give the sequel a shot for sure.
• 1:09:07
  It does get kind of creepy, but it doesn't linger on it too
• 1:09:09
  long. So I don't like, I think it'll
• 1:09:10
  be like, enough to like, whoo, That was spooky.
• 1:09:12
  OK, cool. Now I can go do whatever.
• 1:09:14
  Like, OK, yeah, so yeah, I mean, like, it's worth a shot.
• 1:09:20
  I don't know that I'm gonna watch it again.
• 1:09:22
  Personally, if they came out with a sequel, I'd put it on in
• 1:09:25
  a heartbeat. I'd give it a.
• 1:09:27
  Yeah. So, OK.
• 1:09:29
  And I would hope that it would be by the same director, Yeah, I
• 1:09:32
  think they deserve another chance because they've got, like
• 1:09:34
  I said, they've got the goods they just need.
• 1:09:37
  Especially they need to round it out some.
• 1:09:39
  Yeah, especially if this is their first, you know, like
• 1:09:43
  definitely potential there. I see a lot of potential in this
• 1:09:45
  person. Just, and I mean like, Dave
• 1:09:48
  Sheridan has spoken about this too.
• 1:09:49
  He's like a big believer in like indie films and like propping
• 1:09:53
  those people up. And the fact that, like he's
• 1:09:55
  involved in this tells me that, like, he probably sees that same
• 1:09:58
  kind of potential in the idea and then what they're capable of
• 1:10:01
  so. Yeah, him and Felisa both are
• 1:10:03
  like on a big indie horror tear. Yeah, that's where they live, it
• 1:10:08
  seems, Which is cool. I like that.
• 1:10:09
  I respect it. Yeah, Okay.
• 1:10:11
  Well, I think that's it for this one.
• 1:10:13
  Okay. Just a reminder on this week's
• 1:10:17
