Wisdom Tooth Movie Marathon: Titanic Panic · Midnight Movie Theatre

0:12
Speaker 1: It's been twelve days since Clavicular was ruthlessly framewarked by
0:18
Speaker 1: an ASU frat leader. In just a few days before that,
0:22
Speaker 1: I had my wisdom teeth removed. So luckily, I've had
0:25
Speaker 1: a little bit of time off work to recover from
0:28
Speaker 1: both of those things. And since I knew I was
0:30
Speaker 1: going to be off work, I figured, what else am
0:32
Speaker 1: I going to do besides sit up watch movies? Might
0:35
Speaker 1: as well put together a little movie marathon for tonight's episode,
0:39
Speaker 1: And that's what we did. I was just eating pudding
0:41
Speaker 1: all day, just drinking milkshakes, you know, living my best life.
0:46
Speaker 1: The one thing that I kind of underestimated was how
0:49
Speaker 1: bad I was going to be put out by this
0:51
Speaker 1: whole operation that I did. The whole I don't know.
0:55
Speaker 1: It was a little more brutal than I expected. It
0:57
Speaker 1: took me a little longer to bounce back from this
1:00
Speaker 1: whole thing that I thought. So I was under the
1:03
Speaker 1: impression that I was going to be going under when
1:06
Speaker 1: they took my teeth out, and the whole thing was
1:08
Speaker 1: just you know, I wasn't that nervous going into it, really,
1:12
Speaker 1: Like I was thinking, like, Okay, they're gonna knock me out,
1:15
Speaker 1: cut some fucking teeth out, and I'll be I'll be
1:17
Speaker 1: back on my way. I'll be skipping out of this
1:20
Speaker 1: goddamn office. So I'm sitting there, I got my playlist ready,
1:24
Speaker 1: I've got in together now by winting biscuit going in
1:27
Speaker 1: the headphones. They're they come in there. They give me
1:30
Speaker 1: like six valume and they're just like, you know, eat
1:33
Speaker 1: these valume, sucking this gas, and you'll we're gonna be
1:37
Speaker 1: ready for you in no time. And I was thinking like, fuck, yeah,
1:39
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be asleep in you know, minutes. And about
1:44
Speaker 1: thirty minutes after I take the pills, they come back
1:46
Speaker 1: in there and they're asking how I'm feeling. I felt
1:49
Speaker 1: exactly the same. I didn't feel any more high or
1:53
Speaker 1: relaxed or anything like that. And I was like, you know,
1:55
Speaker 1: I'm feeling all right, and they're like, all right, so
1:58
Speaker 1: we're just gonna go ahead and cut these motherfuckers out.
2:00
Speaker 1: And they did, and I could pretty much, you know,
2:03
Speaker 1: feel everything, all the sawing and the crunching and stuff.
2:09
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just sitting there like wow, not exactly
2:13
Speaker 1: how I expected this to go.
2:14
Speaker 2: But they get me out of there.
2:16
Speaker 1: I walk right out the door, and then after that
2:19
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a long recovery. And the thing
2:22
Speaker 1: that I didn't expect, and I don't know why, because
2:25
Speaker 1: I've had other surgeries and stuff like that in the
2:28
Speaker 1: past and this always happens, is that it's always so
2:32
Speaker 1: hard to poop afterwards, and they never really give you
2:38
Speaker 1: the heads up that like, hey, you're gonna need to
2:40
Speaker 1: start eating prunes and drinking laxatives and stuff like that
2:46
Speaker 1: weeks in advance. Get them pipes hot and greasy before
2:50
Speaker 1: you get this done, because once you take all these
2:53
Speaker 1: pills and all this stuff, you know you're not going
2:57
Speaker 1: to be shitting. And I don't know why that is.
3:00
Speaker 1: It just like really backs you up. And then you
3:02
Speaker 1: got you know, you got. The worst thing about it
3:05
Speaker 1: was that I just had tummy aches the whole time.
3:07
Speaker 1: I had tummy aches from the I don't know it
3:09
Speaker 1: was from the antibiotics or the steroids that they had
3:12
Speaker 1: me on or what, but that was probably the That
3:15
Speaker 1: was the thing that I should have been expecting. I
3:18
Speaker 1: should have oiled up all my holes in advance, and
3:22
Speaker 1: I did it.
3:22
Speaker 2: You know, That's my bad.
3:24
Speaker 1: I guess I'll have to I need to remind myself
3:26
Speaker 1: anytime I ever get something like that done again, get
3:29
Speaker 1: them things going and get the fiber going. So I've
3:32
Speaker 1: been playing ketch up as far as taking dumpskills, which
3:36
Speaker 1: hasn't been hasn't been too fun. And with that, with
3:41
Speaker 1: that being said, I didn't get to as many movies
3:44
Speaker 1: as I planned. Like I was thinking, like, damn, I'm
3:46
Speaker 1: probably gonna hammer out like ten movies throughout this recovery time.
3:50
Speaker 2: I had about a week, you know, to recover.
3:52
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'll probably even be rewatching like
3:55
Speaker 1: some classics like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, even you know, maybe
4:00
Speaker 1: revisit some of the the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, even,
4:05
Speaker 1: you know, just some like some go tos. Might even
4:07
Speaker 1: watch the Stand made for TV movie. And I did
4:13
Speaker 1: watch a Stephen King adaptation, but it wasn't the Stand. Yeah,
4:17
Speaker 1: I didn't get I didn't get to all that. I
4:19
Speaker 1: got to about four movies is kind of what I
4:22
Speaker 1: ended up doing. And you know, we'll we'll talk about
4:27
Speaker 1: those four movies just kind of give you a quick rundown.
4:29
Speaker 1: There was some good, there was some bad. It was
4:31
Speaker 1: a nice little mix up, like a nice little variety
4:35
Speaker 1: of movies that I ended up going through, so excuse me.
4:38
Speaker 1: God damn it really gassy right now too. I don't
4:44
Speaker 1: know what's going on with that. Everything's kind of I
4:47
Speaker 1: think homeostasis is returning, I think, is what's happening. All
4:51
Speaker 1: the I've haven't been I'm done with my antibiotics, done
4:55
Speaker 1: with the steroids. I haven't been taken any you know,
4:57
Speaker 1: they didn't give me any pain medicine at all, at
5:00
Speaker 1: which I thought was interesting. I just kind of took
5:02
Speaker 1: ibuprofen and stuff like that, and I asked them what
5:06
Speaker 1: that was about, and they said, well, we we looked
5:09
Speaker 1: you up on social media and we saw how base
5:11
Speaker 1: you were, so we figured you.
5:12
Speaker 2: Didn't need it. Yeah. One of the movies that I
5:16
Speaker 2: watched is.
5:19
Speaker 1: Might have an effect on the way that I do
5:22
Speaker 1: the next monthly franchise watch. I had another franchise watch
5:26
Speaker 1: in mind. You know, I'm finishing up the Scream movies
5:29
Speaker 1: right now. Scream seven's coming out at the end of
5:32
Speaker 1: this month. About to watch that shit, and I was
5:36
Speaker 1: kind of leaning towards maybe doing the Texas Chainsaw massacre.
5:39
Speaker 1: But after watching one of the movies for this little episode,
5:42
Speaker 1: I was like, I might do something different. I might
5:45
Speaker 1: do a little Stephen King thing here. Maybe watch them
5:49
Speaker 1: Stephen King adaptations. Obviously not all of them, because I
5:52
Speaker 1: would just basically be never ending. I'd be going on
5:55
Speaker 1: for years watching goddamn Stephen King adaptations. But I thought,
6:00
Speaker 1: maybe pick like a handful of them, compare them to
6:03
Speaker 1: the books, maybe like read the books at the same
6:06
Speaker 1: time and talk about them.
6:07
Speaker 2: That might be kind of fun.
6:08
Speaker 1: I did that with the Shining on my Patreon recently,
6:12
Speaker 1: so check out the patreon if you want to see
6:15
Speaker 1: what the difference is between the Shining movie and the
6:19
Speaker 1: book and kind of my thoughts and opinions on that
6:22
Speaker 1: thought that turned out pretty pretty well. It was pretty
6:25
Speaker 1: fun to do, So yeah, I might do that. Might
6:27
Speaker 1: do the Texas Chainsaw masker. I don't know. I can't
6:30
Speaker 1: really tell. I've just kind of been wanting to watch
6:31
Speaker 1: the original one, and I haven't ever finished that franchise,
6:35
Speaker 1: so it's one that I've kind of been wanting to
6:37
Speaker 1: get into and really just go ahead and knock them
6:39
Speaker 1: all out. They'll probably be doing another Texas chains I'm
6:41
Speaker 1: Askers soon anyway, so maybe by the time I get
6:44
Speaker 1: done with that, there'll be a new movie to watch
6:46
Speaker 1: at the end, kind of like with a screen franchise.
6:48
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. But speaking of the
6:51
Speaker 1: screen franchise, I did put out an episode last week
6:54
Speaker 1: that appears to be pulled off of Spotify, probably for copyright,
6:59
Speaker 1: I guess because I was playing the end of the Scream,
7:03
Speaker 1: the first Scream movie in the video, so that's probably why.
7:06
Speaker 1: But it is still up on YouTube. I think it's
7:09
Speaker 1: on Apple podcast and most other streaming platforms still, so
7:12
Speaker 1: if you want to check that out. It's a video
7:15
Speaker 1: just going over the end sequence of Scream one showing
7:18
Speaker 1: Billy get speared with the umbrella, Stu Macher getting crushed
7:22
Speaker 1: by the TV, mostly going over those two things and
7:25
Speaker 1: kind of talking about my feelings about the end of
7:28
Speaker 1: that movie and what I think might happen in Scream seven.
7:32
Speaker 1: We'll see, Okay. So the first movie I got into
7:36
Speaker 1: was Begonia. This came out in twenty twenty five. I
7:39
Speaker 1: think it was up for some pretty serious Oscar awards
7:42
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. It was directed by Yourgos Lanthemos,
7:47
Speaker 1: which this was my first Yorghos movie. I've been meaning
7:51
Speaker 1: to get to poor things in Dog Tooth, but I
7:54
Speaker 1: just haven't yet. I thought I would. I was really
7:56
Speaker 1: excited about Poor Things coming out. I thought it looked
7:59
Speaker 1: pretty cool, and then I just never got around to it.
8:01
Speaker 1: So I would say, without seeing any of his other movies, though,
8:06
Speaker 1: this would be a great intro film if you're getting
8:09
Speaker 1: into your Ghos Lantemos movies. It feels like a very
8:14
Speaker 1: easy entry point. I'm just kind of guessing from what
8:17
Speaker 1: I've heard about some of his other movies, like Poor Things.
8:20
Speaker 1: This one stars Emma Stone, but Goonia also has Jesse
8:23
Speaker 1: Plemons in it as the second main character. Stavros Haukius
8:28
Speaker 1: of the Cometown Fame has a decent role in this
8:31
Speaker 1: as a police officer who probably sexually assaulted Jesse Plemon's
8:35
Speaker 1: character when they were younger, because he's like mentions how
8:38
Speaker 1: he used to babysit him and stuff like that, and
8:40
Speaker 1: he keeps apologizing for something he did to him and
8:44
Speaker 1: just sounds like he probably like made him suck his
8:46
Speaker 1: dick or something like that. I'm just kind of guessing
8:48
Speaker 1: they never come out and say it, but that's the
8:50
Speaker 1: vibe you get for sure.
8:52
Speaker 2: Anyway.
8:53
Speaker 1: Emma Stone plays Michelle Fuller. She's a CEO of a
8:56
Speaker 1: major pharmaceutical company. We see her live in a very corporate,
8:59
Speaker 1: very life lifestyle. And on the other hand, there's Teddy
9:02
Speaker 1: and Dan. And Teddy is the Jesse Pleman's character. He's
9:06
Speaker 1: a hardcore conspiracy theorist that thinks that Michelle is an alien.
9:10
Speaker 1: His cousin Don ohould I say, Dan, His cousin Don
9:14
Speaker 1: is sitting on the spectrum somewhere and is basically just
9:17
Speaker 1: kind of being guided and influenced by Teddy with like
9:20
Speaker 1: these theories about an alien race that's trying that he's
9:23
Speaker 1: trying to hunt down and I guess like stop them
9:26
Speaker 1: from taking over the world, or they've already taken over
9:29
Speaker 1: the world and they're kind of using the humans as slaves. Basically,
9:34
Speaker 1: this is one of those movies that gives you a
9:36
Speaker 1: bulletin point to add to your how do I know
9:39
Speaker 1: I'm being brought into a cult? Checklist, which I think
9:41
Speaker 1: is always really helpful. Everyone kind of needs to have
9:44
Speaker 1: one of these just in case, Just in case you
9:48
Speaker 1: ever need to ask yourself, like, am I being Is
9:51
Speaker 1: this a cult?
9:51
Speaker 2: Is this too good to be true?
9:53
Speaker 1: Or is this just like a multi level marketing scheme
9:56
Speaker 1: or something, because they're similar but different. And one of
9:59
Speaker 1: the things you can separate them is with the question
10:02
Speaker 1: that I got from this movie, which is are you
10:04
Speaker 1: being asked to chemically castrate yourself? And if the answer
10:08
Speaker 1: is yes, you're in a cult, you need to leave.
10:11
Speaker 1: Don't do the castration, get out of there. But I
10:15
Speaker 1: think everyone should have at least a basic checklist to
10:18
Speaker 1: make sure that they're not in a cult or not
10:20
Speaker 1: being indoctrined into a cult, you know what I'm saying,
10:26
Speaker 1: just in case things start to seem a little too suspicious.
10:29
Speaker 1: Teddy and don they do end up kidnapping Michelle pretty
10:32
Speaker 1: early on. I'm not going to get into spoilers or
10:35
Speaker 1: anything really, I'm just going to kind of do some
10:37
Speaker 1: overview and whatnot of some of these movies. So don't
10:40
Speaker 1: worry if you haven't seen it yet. I'm not going
10:42
Speaker 1: to spoil anything that's not in the trailer. So, yeah,
10:46
Speaker 1: they kidnap her, they shave her head, they cover in
10:48
Speaker 1: like this, like the Twinkie cream, the cream that's in
10:51
Speaker 1: the middle of the twinkies or something like that. And
10:53
Speaker 1: we see Teddy, you know, he's putting tinfoil all over
10:56
Speaker 1: his house really stereotypical cult cult member type of shit
11:01
Speaker 1: or conspiracy theory kind of shit. And the more time
11:04
Speaker 1: we spend with him, the more we learn about, like
11:06
Speaker 1: why he thinks Michelle is an alien. It's a it
11:11
Speaker 1: goes really deep and it gets really personal with the
11:15
Speaker 1: Teddy character. I thought that was great. It was something
11:18
Speaker 1: I wasn't really expecting right away. I just thought he
11:21
Speaker 1: was a fucking loon, And I mean, kind of is
11:24
Speaker 1: kind of, isn't I guess you kind of make your.
11:26
Speaker 2: Own mind up about that.
11:27
Speaker 1: As the movie goes on, he's definitely going to some
11:29
Speaker 1: pretty extreme lengths to prove that this lady's an alien.
11:34
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was really fun. We get great performances
11:38
Speaker 1: from Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone, of course, they do
11:41
Speaker 1: great jobs. They're going back and forth throughout the whole thing,
11:43
Speaker 1: just kind of arguing and trying to prove their points
11:47
Speaker 1: about why she is or isn't an alien, and they're
11:51
Speaker 1: going full bugshit as the movie goes on, Teddy especially,
11:55
Speaker 1: he's just like fucking bugged out of his goddamn mind.
11:58
Speaker 1: And you start to see why Dawn would buy into
12:02
Speaker 1: some of this goofy shit, Like it's one of those
12:04
Speaker 1: things where you're like, who would believe the shit? I mean,
12:07
Speaker 1: besides him being like, clearly I think he's autistic or something,
12:11
Speaker 1: he's on this spectrum. But besides that, you know, you
12:15
Speaker 1: can see why he's like convinced. Teddy does have some
12:19
Speaker 1: pretty good points at some parts in the movie. Besides
12:22
Speaker 1: all the electrocuting aliens in his basement and stuff like that,
12:26
Speaker 1: you know, he does make some pretty good points. I
12:29
Speaker 1: won't say too much more though, but I really thought
12:31
Speaker 1: this was a fun movie overall, probably my favorite movie
12:34
Speaker 1: that I've watched from twenty twenty five so far, and
12:37
Speaker 1: I think it's like a four out of five, really
12:40
Speaker 1: really solid movie. It's on Peacock right now, so go
12:43
Speaker 1: ahead and check out Bogonia. Fantastic movie. And the second
12:53
Speaker 1: movie I watched is a movie called The Passenger. The
12:57
Speaker 1: poster or the cover art for this movie is kind
13:00
Speaker 1: of what caught my attention. It's a twenty twenty three
13:02
Speaker 1: movie that I didn't know anything about. Was one of
13:05
Speaker 1: those where I was just kind of like skimming through,
13:07
Speaker 1: flipping through seeing what was free to stream at the
13:09
Speaker 1: time while I was laying there just you know, eating
13:14
Speaker 1: chocolate pudding and the art kind of looks like a
13:17
Speaker 1: seventies grindhouse ish poster, so I was like, Okay, this
13:21
Speaker 1: seems kind of cool. I feel like I've seen the
13:23
Speaker 1: art for it pop up every once in a while,
13:26
Speaker 1: and I hadn't heard much about it, so I thought,
13:28
Speaker 1: what the hell, I'll throw this thing on see if
13:31
Speaker 1: it's any good. What do I got to lose? And
13:33
Speaker 1: right away when we're kicking in, I noticed the Blumhouse intro.
13:36
Speaker 1: It's a Blumhouse production, which I wasn't expecting, and I
13:39
Speaker 1: was kind of like, Okay, well, Blumhouse, it's it's usually
13:44
Speaker 1: pretty hit or miss. You know what I'm saying. They're
13:46
Speaker 1: gonna give me that Blumhouse goo whether I like it
13:49
Speaker 1: or not, and that's and I'm just gonna have to
13:51
Speaker 1: eat it. But really, it wasn't too bad for a
13:54
Speaker 1: Blumhouse flick. It was kind of more of overall, I'd
13:59
Speaker 1: say it was more of like a middle of the
14:00
Speaker 1: road Blumhouse movie, which I haven't seen too often, so
14:04
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's good or bad. Honestly, I
14:06
Speaker 1: kind of prefer it to either be really bad or
14:09
Speaker 1: really good, so.
14:12
Speaker 2: I don't know.
14:13
Speaker 1: Overall, it was just kind of a predictable movie, to
14:16
Speaker 1: be honest. I'll kind of get into what this one's
14:18
Speaker 1: about a little more since it's not quite as new
14:22
Speaker 1: as Begonia. But it did have the guy from Kuku
14:25
Speaker 1: in it. I didn't write his name down or anything.
14:28
Speaker 1: I just recognized his face from the trailers right away.
14:32
Speaker 1: And so this guy, you know, he's going from Blumhouse
14:34
Speaker 1: to Neon, which might be a step in the right direction,
14:37
Speaker 1: depending on what your tastes are and stuff like that.
14:39
Speaker 2: If you like a.
14:40
Speaker 1: Twenty four adjacent movies like that Neon puts out, you might,
14:45
Speaker 1: you know, you might want to watch him in something
14:47
Speaker 1: like that. I haven't seen Cuckoo yet. I thought I
14:50
Speaker 1: remember hearing it was all right. But for as much
14:54
Speaker 1: as it was kind of hyped up when the trailer
14:55
Speaker 1: was coming out, compared to the response after it came out,
15:00
Speaker 1: I kind of got the feeling that maybe it wasn't
15:02
Speaker 1: as as good as it was supposed to be. But
15:05
Speaker 1: the guy is a pretty good actor. The guy that
15:07
Speaker 1: did that, you know, he does a pretty decent job
15:09
Speaker 1: in this this movie. So it's about basically these two characters.
15:14
Speaker 1: We've got Randy, who is this really meek, almost like
15:19
Speaker 1: Jesse Eisenberg. He's like Jesse Eisenberg if you took out
15:23
Speaker 1: like all of the interesting qualities from him, like kind
15:28
Speaker 1: of reminds me of him in Thirty Minutes or less.
15:30
Speaker 1: If if you just made him like really fucking sad
15:34
Speaker 1: the whole time instead of like, I feel like in
15:36
Speaker 1: that movie, he's a little bit more rebellious or whatever.
15:41
Speaker 1: But if you just took all that away and it
15:43
Speaker 1: just he was just kind of like a sad sack
15:45
Speaker 1: of shit, that's kind of what Randy is. And we
15:47
Speaker 1: find out that the reason why he's like that, or
15:50
Speaker 1: like the main reason why he's like that. So he's
15:52
Speaker 1: like a grown man in this movie. He's like twenty
15:55
Speaker 1: two or something, you know, like he's an adult or something,
15:58
Speaker 1: and he's working at this fast food restaurant. And the
16:00
Speaker 1: reason why he's so goddamn like timid and passive about
16:04
Speaker 1: everything is because when he was like in the second grade,
16:07
Speaker 1: he accidentally knocked out his teacher's eye with an eraser.
16:12
Speaker 3: What what what?
16:16
Speaker 2: Yeah?
16:16
Speaker 1: And you kind of get that from like this flashback,
16:19
Speaker 1: and it doesn't explain exactly what happens, but he's just
16:22
Speaker 1: like kind of zoning out, like thinking about shit and
16:24
Speaker 1: being a wuss, and then it just shows like his
16:26
Speaker 1: teacher screaming and like blood's fucking shooting out of her eye.
16:30
Speaker 1: I thought he was they were gonna tell us that
16:32
Speaker 1: he stabber in the eye with the pair of scissors
16:35
Speaker 1: when she was like yelling at him or something like that,
16:37
Speaker 1: and I was like, that would make more sense, because
16:39
Speaker 1: you know, that's not an accident really, and maybe he
16:42
Speaker 1: would like question himself a little bit more. But when
16:45
Speaker 1: you hear the whole story and he explains, it's basically
16:47
Speaker 1: that like he flicked an a racer at her and
16:50
Speaker 1: it just happened to like smoke her and the fucking
16:53
Speaker 1: eye so hard that I don't I guess her eyeball exploded.
16:57
Speaker 1: It's honestly crazy, Like I imagine, yeah, you could get
17:00
Speaker 1: your eye put out from getting hit, you know, hard
17:03
Speaker 1: enough in the eye with an eraser. But when you
17:06
Speaker 1: see the flashback, there's like so much fucking blood coming
17:09
Speaker 1: out of her eye that it's hard to imagine an
17:12
Speaker 1: eraser doing that unless it was like sharpened to a
17:14
Speaker 1: point maybe and it's like a fucking heavy ass thick eraser.
17:18
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they never really like show us
17:21
Speaker 1: any more other than that one quick scenea for like
17:23
Speaker 1: bleeding and screaming in his face, and it's just like goddamn.
17:26
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, yeah, I understand why he'd be
17:28
Speaker 1: kind of fucked up from it, but it's like ruined
17:31
Speaker 1: his whole life basically, and he's just like this really sad,
17:34
Speaker 1: sack of shit character. So anyway, he works at a
17:37
Speaker 1: fast food restaurant. It basically shows him go to work.
17:41
Speaker 1: They're supposed to be opening him, and there's like three
17:46
Speaker 1: other coworkers there and a manager. The other main character
17:50
Speaker 1: the guy from Kukoo. His name is Benson, and you
17:53
Speaker 1: just kind of see him like mopping or sweeping or
17:56
Speaker 1: some shit the whole time. And then there's this this
17:58
Speaker 1: couple that's working there too, and they're like, you know,
18:01
Speaker 1: the same age, like early twenties or something. And this
18:04
Speaker 1: one guy, I don't know what his fucking name was,
18:06
Speaker 1: but he's like a bully and he's just like making
18:08
Speaker 1: out with his girlfriend the whole time when they're supposed
18:10
Speaker 1: to be opening and like and then he just starts
18:13
Speaker 1: bullying Randy for some reason. He's just like, oh, yeah,
18:16
Speaker 1: I work here too, but I'm not gonna do fucking shit.
18:20
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna fucking grab my girlfriend's ass the whole
18:23
Speaker 1: time and talk shit to Randy for some reason. So
18:26
Speaker 1: he's just like, you know, like saying, oh, Randy, come
18:30
Speaker 1: over here and fucking lick my balls and stuff like that,
18:33
Speaker 1: eat my ass out and stuff in the middle of
18:35
Speaker 1: the store, and Randy's just kind of like okay, and
18:40
Speaker 1: he'll just do it like there's a I don't know,
18:43
Speaker 1: basically just like fucking dunking on Randy like NonStop. He's
18:47
Speaker 1: treating him like he's a goddamn live streamer or something.
18:50
Speaker 1: But I think this is supposed to be before live
18:53
Speaker 1: streaming was a thing, thank god. But anyway, he's so
18:59
Speaker 1: this guy, he's bullying the fuck out of him. He
19:01
Speaker 1: like makes him eat an old cheeseburger that somebody left
19:03
Speaker 1: in the warmer all night or something like that, you know,
19:06
Speaker 1: and Randy just does it for some reason instead of
19:08
Speaker 1: just I don't know why, you just want to be
19:10
Speaker 1: like no, I'm just gonna leave or something. I'm gonna
19:13
Speaker 1: go tell the manager, like I don't know. He's such
19:16
Speaker 1: a such a goddamn wiss in this movie that it's
19:21
Speaker 1: it's insane. So while that's going on, Benson goes out
19:25
Speaker 1: to his car and gets his shotgun and just comes
19:27
Speaker 1: in and fucking murders the fuck out of them, and
19:30
Speaker 1: I think he kills the manager too, and he's like,
19:33
Speaker 1: all right, Randy, you're gonna help me drag the bodies
19:38
Speaker 1: in the freezer and we're going to go on a
19:40
Speaker 1: road trip or something, and it's it's one of those
19:43
Speaker 1: things where I was I kind of wish that the
19:48
Speaker 1: roles were reversed, because Benson seems like more of a stereotypical, like,
19:55
Speaker 1: you know, confrontational type of guy. I was honestly when
19:59
Speaker 1: this started going going on, I was like, I think
20:01
Speaker 1: I would like this better if Randy was the one
20:03
Speaker 1: that snapped shot everybody and then like I guess kidnapped
20:08
Speaker 1: Benson or whatever took Benson hostage.
20:11
Speaker 2: I don't know.
20:12
Speaker 1: I just think that would have been like a more
20:13
Speaker 1: interesting dynamic. This felt very, like I said, felt like
20:18
Speaker 1: a very predictable movie, very very like boilerplate, just kind
20:21
Speaker 1: of like we're gonna do this type of movie, and
20:24
Speaker 1: this is you know, we're gonna hit all the beats,
20:26
Speaker 1: do all the things that you kind of expect and
20:28
Speaker 1: that's kind of what happened. So basically they just go
20:31
Speaker 1: on this road trip. You know, they kind of hang
20:33
Speaker 1: out and learn about each other. They go to Benson's house,
20:37
Speaker 1: Benson's mom's all like pilled out or something, and he's
20:41
Speaker 1: you know, fucking she can tell something's up, but she
20:44
Speaker 1: doesn't really do anything. I guess he trades a shotgun
20:48
Speaker 1: in for a handgun, and then they kind of they
20:50
Speaker 1: keep going on their way. Honestly, don't even know, like
20:53
Speaker 1: I can't remember, like what the point of them doing
20:56
Speaker 1: this road trip even is. They basically just go around
21:00
Speaker 1: places and eventually, like Randy tells Benson about the fucking
21:04
Speaker 1: teacher that he put her eye out to and stuff
21:07
Speaker 1: like that, and they're like, oh, He's like, I'm gonna
21:09
Speaker 1: take you to the teacher's house now and we're gonna
21:12
Speaker 1: go talk to her or something. But first, you know,
21:14
Speaker 1: they go to the school and they're in Benson kind
21:16
Speaker 1: of like sweet talks the lady in the office to
21:20
Speaker 1: get the teacher's address. He's like, yeah, this is Randy.
21:23
Speaker 1: What's his fucking face that knocked her eye out? And
21:25
Speaker 1: he wants to go say hi to her or something,
21:27
Speaker 1: so they're like, oh, yeah, sure you can have her
21:29
Speaker 1: fucking home address, because you know, I don't know what
21:32
Speaker 1: ear this is supposed to be in. I guess I
21:35
Speaker 1: think they have smartphones, so it's it's not that old,
21:38
Speaker 1: I guess, but it's one of those things where it's like, yeah,
21:40
Speaker 1: if this was set in like the eighties or nineties,
21:42
Speaker 1: I could see I could see this happening. So anyway,
21:46
Speaker 1: basically that happens. We kind of get the idea that
21:48
Speaker 1: like Benson was molested by this guy that works at
21:52
Speaker 1: the school, and he happens to run into him while
21:55
Speaker 1: they're getting the lady's address, so he beats the fuck
21:58
Speaker 1: out of that guy in the parking lot, and they
22:00
Speaker 1: go to the teacher's house and she's like really excited
22:04
Speaker 1: to see Randy. He thinks she's gonna like hate his
22:06
Speaker 1: ass and like resent him because he thinks he like
22:09
Speaker 1: ruined her life, but she's actually like, you know, really
22:13
Speaker 1: really happy and just kind of like, oh, yeah, no,
22:15
Speaker 1: I totally forgive you.
22:16
Speaker 2: My life's been fine.
22:17
Speaker 1: You know, I've got kids and shit, now I got divorced,
22:20
Speaker 1: but you know, I got kids out of it, so
22:23
Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy about that. And so on and so on.
22:26
Speaker 1: So they kind of catch up and it's nice, but
22:29
Speaker 1: then she notices something's a little off with Benson and
22:32
Speaker 1: that his knuckles are all bloody, and somebody calls and
22:34
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, yeah, some guys just beat the shit
22:37
Speaker 1: out of this guy and he's basically dead or whatever,
22:40
Speaker 1: and so then Benson's like, all right, I'm taking both
22:42
Speaker 1: you guys hostage now and shit like that. Anyway, it
22:46
Speaker 1: just kind of goes on and on like that until
22:48
Speaker 1: eventually they get into a confrontation with the police and
22:52
Speaker 1: Benson does a death by cop suicide or whatever. You know.
22:56
Speaker 1: He goes out there and points the gun at him
22:58
Speaker 1: so the cops will shoot him to death, and that's
23:01
Speaker 1: pretty much.
23:01
Speaker 2: The end of the movie.
23:03
Speaker 1: I guess, like right before the credits, we kind of
23:05
Speaker 1: see that Randy and the teacher they remain friends and
23:09
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and he like hangs out with her
23:11
Speaker 1: kids and shit.
23:12
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, it just kind of like.
23:15
Speaker 1: A middle of the road, like not a bad movie
23:18
Speaker 1: or anything, not really any like awful performances, just nothing
23:22
Speaker 1: that really stood out. Felt very like very plain Jane
23:27
Speaker 1: movie as far as like this type of story goes
23:30
Speaker 1: so all right, movie, I'd say it's like I said,
23:34
Speaker 1: two and a half out of five, straight down the
23:36
Speaker 1: middle of the fucking road and the number three movie.
23:44
Speaker 1: This was a big one for me because it just
23:48
Speaker 1: is it chapter two. So this is my first time
23:51
Speaker 1: watching this movie. I just finished the book it, which
23:54
Speaker 1: is an achievement in its own you know what I'm saying.
24:01
Speaker 1: It's a long fucking one. I just do the audio books,
24:05
Speaker 1: so I think it's like forty eight hours long. It
24:08
Speaker 1: took me forever, but.
24:10
Speaker 2: It was good.
24:11
Speaker 1: It was really good. It was better than I expected.
24:13
Speaker 1: And that's just something that I've noticed more every time
24:16
Speaker 1: I listen to, like especially one of.
24:17
Speaker 2: The Stephen King classics.
24:19
Speaker 1: It's just like they're always a little better than I'm
24:22
Speaker 1: even expecting. Like I always hear how good they are,
24:25
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you know, I kind of know the
24:27
Speaker 1: story or like I've heard the story through like other
24:30
Speaker 1: people that have read the books. I've seen the movies,
24:32
Speaker 1: so I'm not expecting to be like that blown away
24:36
Speaker 1: or whatever. But yeah, pretty much every time I have been,
24:39
Speaker 1: and I think that's really impressive, especially if you kind
24:42
Speaker 1: of know what you're getting into beforehand, like the whole
24:45
Speaker 1: book is basically spoiled for me in a way, since
24:49
Speaker 1: I kind of know what happens and how it ends
24:53
Speaker 1: before I even get into it, and for it to
24:55
Speaker 1: still be as engaging as it is, I think is
24:57
Speaker 1: really impressive and says a lot about how good of
25:00
Speaker 1: a writer Stephen King is, obviously being one of the
25:03
Speaker 1: biggest writers, especially like when it comes to horror. You know,
25:08
Speaker 1: it's a deserved title for him, I think for sure.
25:11
Speaker 1: So yeah, it chapter two. I saw the first IT remake,
25:15
Speaker 1: you know, in theaters when it came out, and then
25:20
Speaker 1: you know, I just wasn't that into it. I really
25:23
Speaker 1: like the the nineties made for TV one. I know,
25:27
Speaker 1: it's not like the the greatest movie ever anything like that,
25:31
Speaker 1: or like the scariest movie ever. A lot of it
25:33
Speaker 1: probably does have to do with nostalgia. I grew up watching.
25:36
Speaker 1: It was probably one of the earlier like horror movies
25:38
Speaker 1: that I watched, and it just always stuck with me.
25:41
Speaker 1: I thought it was really cool as that like stand
25:43
Speaker 1: by Me feel where you got this group of kids
25:47
Speaker 1: going on an adventure together and kind of almost like
25:50
Speaker 1: phantasm like where it's like you're following around this like
25:53
Speaker 1: childlike sense of wonder that these kids are going through,
25:57
Speaker 1: and you know, part of it's like is this mostly
26:01
Speaker 1: due to their imagination or is it like all this
26:04
Speaker 1: stuff really happening. And I feel like specifically with it
26:09
Speaker 1: and the town of Dairy, once you get into all.
26:11
Speaker 2: That whole like.
26:13
Speaker 1: Lore and whatnot, you know, like the adults don't see
26:17
Speaker 1: things because they've like grown out of it, so they don't.
26:20
Speaker 1: I guess it's that they don't believe in it anymore,
26:23
Speaker 1: so like the kids will see things that the adults
26:26
Speaker 1: don't and stuff like that. I just think the whole thing,
26:28
Speaker 1: the whole setup's really really great. But back to the
26:32
Speaker 1: nineties movie, Yeah, grew up loving that, So when the
26:38
Speaker 1: remake came out, I don't know. I hadn't read the
26:41
Speaker 1: book yet. I realized that I realize now after like
26:45
Speaker 1: getting through the book, that the it chapter one and
26:50
Speaker 1: two are a little bit or quite a bit more
26:53
Speaker 1: faithful to the book. But overall that doesn't really matter
26:57
Speaker 1: that much to me, Like I feel like what it
27:00
Speaker 1: really matters is the end result, Like what do you
27:03
Speaker 1: get when it's all said and done. I don't really
27:05
Speaker 1: It's almost like how people with the shining and people
27:08
Speaker 1: saying the made for TV version of The Shining is
27:10
Speaker 1: better because it's a closer adaptation to the book. No,
27:14
Speaker 1: that's not That's not the case. The Stanley Kubrick's The
27:18
Speaker 1: Shining is far superior to the fucking bullshit ass made
27:22
Speaker 1: for TV one. But I felt kind of the same
27:24
Speaker 1: way with this. I felt like the remake for me,
27:28
Speaker 1: it wasn't as good as the nineties movie, just the overall,
27:32
Speaker 1: like the end product what you get, And I don't know,
27:36
Speaker 1: that's definitely a personal thing. I think the the remake,
27:40
Speaker 1: the IT chapter one, chapter two movies, they're obviously like
27:43
Speaker 1: done well and well acted and stuff like that, there's
27:46
Speaker 1: just something about it, especially it chapter two. I'd have
27:49
Speaker 1: to go back and watch the first one again to
27:51
Speaker 1: really get a sense of how that was. It might
27:53
Speaker 1: have been way different than what I'm remembering, but it
27:57
Speaker 1: chapter two just kind of felt like a fucking mess.
27:59
Speaker 1: And I think that that's kind of what I heard
28:01
Speaker 1: when it came out, so I just never really took
28:03
Speaker 1: the time to go see it. I figured this would
28:05
Speaker 1: be a good time to watch it, especially after finishing
28:09
Speaker 1: up the book, and I haven't watched Welcome to Darry
28:12
Speaker 1: yet that might be something that I get to at
28:14
Speaker 1: some point, probably for the Patreon since it's a TV show.
28:18
Speaker 1: But we'll see. We'll see what happens there. And as
28:22
Speaker 1: far as this one in the book goes, there were
28:24
Speaker 1: some you know it did? It did stay fairly faithful
28:29
Speaker 1: to the book in some ways, in some ways not
28:31
Speaker 1: so much. I think the ways that it changed kind
28:37
Speaker 1: of hurt the movie quite a bit. The Henry Bauer
28:40
Speaker 1: character just didn't feel like as impactful in this movie,
28:44
Speaker 1: although he does, you know, he shows up and he
28:46
Speaker 1: attacks Eddie and he attacks Mike. It just or does
28:52
Speaker 1: he Yeah, he attacks Mike and Mike kills him, I'm
28:56
Speaker 1: pretty sure. Or no, Or does Eddie kill him?
29:00
Speaker 2: I don't know.
29:01
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time remembering it now. But in
29:03
Speaker 1: the book he attacks Mike first, and he like really
29:06
Speaker 1: badly hurts Mike. He like stabs him in the leg
29:09
Speaker 1: really bad, and Mike stabs him in the stomach with
29:13
Speaker 1: the letter opener. Bowers leaves with the letter opener still
29:18
Speaker 1: in his stomach to go attack Eddie and Eddie kills
29:21
Speaker 1: him is how I remember anyway. But that takes Mike
29:25
Speaker 1: out of the equation and he's like laid up in
29:27
Speaker 1: the hospital, which I don't know. I just thought the
29:29
Speaker 1: way the book did it was honestly kind of perfect.
29:32
Speaker 1: I wish the movie did. I didn't really care for
29:36
Speaker 1: the actor that played Mike in chapter two either. He
29:39
Speaker 1: felt like one of the one of the worst performances
29:42
Speaker 1: in the movie. Just felt really hammy. Honestly, the best
29:46
Speaker 1: part about it chapter two was Bill Hayter's performance as Ritchie.
29:51
Speaker 1: I thought he did a great job. I think the
29:53
Speaker 1: guy that did Eddie was really good too. The rest
29:56
Speaker 1: of him. I just didn't think we're very good. I know,
29:58
Speaker 1: you got the one guy from fucking Speak No Evil
30:02
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, i't me get a little drink
30:05
Speaker 1: here and Split McAvoy, macavoy, McAvoy, you got him up
30:14
Speaker 1: in this bitchigan And I just didn't really care for
30:18
Speaker 1: his performance at all. I didn't really like his portrayal
30:22
Speaker 1: of Bill. I don't know, maybe it's just me. And
30:25
Speaker 1: same with fucking Ben. I thought the guy that played
30:28
Speaker 1: Ben was like supposed to be the honk and stuff
30:30
Speaker 1: like that just kind of sucked. Just felt like really
30:34
Speaker 1: almost like really soap operash or really like melodramatic. Same
30:38
Speaker 1: with bav It just none of it really hit for me.
30:41
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I think a lot of it
30:43
Speaker 1: had to do with the pacing. It's like the pacing
30:45
Speaker 1: the acting, and not to mention, it's basically just jump scare.
30:50
Speaker 1: The movie is what they should call this movie, and
30:52
Speaker 1: they do the same jump scare so often that I
30:55
Speaker 1: was in disbelief by the end of it. It's like,
30:58
Speaker 1: insert whatever seed GI monster or CGI zombie you want
31:02
Speaker 1: into into like a scene, and the scene is going
31:07
Speaker 1: to end with that fucking monster like speed walking, shaking
31:11
Speaker 1: its head back and forth and screaming, and then it
31:14
Speaker 1: just like they run away and the scene cuts and
31:16
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, that's fucking stupid. We don't need to
31:19
Speaker 1: see that in every fucking scene that happens so often.
31:23
Speaker 1: The one that really pissed me off was the Henry
31:25
Speaker 1: Bauer one when he's still in the INSANEUS Island or whatever,
31:29
Speaker 1: the mental institution and he sees the dead guy under
31:32
Speaker 1: his bed, which that kind of pissed me off too,
31:35
Speaker 1: because in the book he sees Belch and Belch like
31:37
Speaker 1: talks to him and ship and he's like all fucked
31:40
Speaker 1: up by the way that he died from Penny Wise
31:43
Speaker 1: and this one he sees the guy, you know, it's
31:46
Speaker 1: different in the book. In the book, he sees the
31:48
Speaker 1: guy that like they weren't really friends with. It was
31:50
Speaker 1: kind of like a sociopath. This guy that like ends
31:53
Speaker 1: up jacking off Henry Bowers in the book, like basically
31:57
Speaker 1: like sexually molesting him in a junkyard. And that's the
32:01
Speaker 1: guy that he sees under his bed. And this guy
32:03
Speaker 1: looks like he kind of looks like the hitchhiker from
32:06
Speaker 1: Texas chaincel masacer if he was a rotten corpse, and
32:09
Speaker 1: he just like army crawls fast as fuck out from
32:12
Speaker 1: underneath his bed, screaming, doing that like fast sped up
32:16
Speaker 1: like headshake thing, and then it just cuts to that,
32:19
Speaker 1: you know, Henry Bowers and that guy like in a
32:22
Speaker 1: car and the corpse guy's driving it. And I was
32:25
Speaker 1: just like, all right, this fucking sucks. This movie's a
32:32
Speaker 1: fucking piece of shit.
32:33
Speaker 3: What what what?
32:39
Speaker 1: Pretty much from that moment on, I lost any hope
32:41
Speaker 1: that it was gonna be good. But I didn't think
32:44
Speaker 1: it was going to keep doing the same fucking bullshit
32:46
Speaker 1: jump scare at the end of every scene like it did.
32:49
Speaker 2: And I was just like, all right, this fucking sucks.
32:51
Speaker 2: The movie fucking sucks, honestly.
32:53
Speaker 1: And the other thing that I'm always just going to
32:56
Speaker 1: uh have a difference of opinion about with a lot
32:58
Speaker 1: of people is the Pennywise comparison. I don't give a
33:02
Speaker 1: shit about Scarsguard's version of Pennywise at all. Like, especially
33:07
Speaker 1: after reading the book, I was thinking like, Okay, maybe
33:10
Speaker 1: the scars Guard penny Wise is more like the book
33:15
Speaker 1: version of penny Wise. So maybe that's why people are
33:17
Speaker 1: fucking always like, oh yeah, Bill Scarsguard's fucking goddamn Pennywise
33:21
Speaker 1: scares the fuck out of me, But Tim Curry's is
33:25
Speaker 1: far superior. I don't give a shit what anybody says.
33:28
Speaker 1: You can say what you want about that movie. If
33:30
Speaker 1: you're just looking at the two comparisons, you it doesn't
33:34
Speaker 1: come close to Tim Curry man, no fucking way. Bill
33:37
Speaker 1: Scarsguard is basically just like doing googly eyes the whole
33:41
Speaker 1: time and talking like Scooby Doo and drooling at his
33:43
Speaker 1: fucking mouths. In the book, penny Wise is like the
33:48
Speaker 1: Tim Curry penny Wise. He's like joking with them while
33:52
Speaker 1: he's trying to fucking kill him and stuff like that,
33:54
Speaker 1: and he's like being a silly goose while he's appearing
33:58
Speaker 1: to them, you know, and all these fucked up situations
34:01
Speaker 1: and shooting blood out everywhere and stuff and turning into monsters.
34:05
Speaker 1: It's just you're never gonna convince me that the Scars
34:09
Speaker 1: Guard version of Penny Wise is a better performance.
34:11
Speaker 2: It just isn't.
34:12
Speaker 1: It's a tough one because, like from what I've seen
34:15
Speaker 1: from They'll Welcome to Darry, it does seem like he
34:17
Speaker 1: does a better job in that TV series, But in
34:21
Speaker 1: these first two movies, I thought it was dog shit.
34:24
Speaker 1: I couldn't I kundn't understand why people are, you know,
34:30
Speaker 1: tripping over themselves to defend his performance in these movies.
34:34
Speaker 1: And like they'll play clips of like Tim Curry doing
34:37
Speaker 1: the library thing where he's like saying all the prank
34:39
Speaker 1: called jokes to Ritchie and they'll be like, you think
34:42
Speaker 1: that's better than this, and it'll just cut to like
34:45
Speaker 1: a cgi ass Bill Scarsguard, you know, just drooling, and
34:49
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I do think that's a better fucking performance,
34:52
Speaker 1: you dumb motherfuckers. I think the performance where the guy
35:00
Speaker 1: actually has to try and become the character. Yeah, I
35:03
Speaker 1: do think that's a better performance than him just doing
35:06
Speaker 1: a shitty Scooby Doo voice and just you know, talking
35:10
Speaker 1: like he's never spoke the fucking English language before in
35:13
Speaker 1: his life. It's insane, just like some of the dumb
35:15
Speaker 1: shit that he says. Anyway, I could go on about
35:20
Speaker 1: this movie for a long fucking time. The ending was ridiculous,
35:24
Speaker 1: just so much shit to talk about that. It was
35:26
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. Like the whole ending sequence just sucked my ass.
35:30
Speaker 1: It's just like fucking the part when Ben gets his
35:34
Speaker 1: abs cut and they just like literally just show you
35:36
Speaker 1: his fucking abs for way too long. I was like,
35:40
Speaker 1: and then like his abs get like healed again, because
35:42
Speaker 1: they're imagining that that they're being healed and stuff. I
35:46
Speaker 1: I think what it is is that they were They
35:49
Speaker 1: should have gone whole hog. They should have pulled their
35:51
Speaker 1: whole hog out and slammed it down on the table
35:54
Speaker 1: and done the book ending where it gets into this
35:56
Speaker 1: crazy like inter dimensional like cosmic battle that they're going
36:00
Speaker 1: through where they're basically like fighting penny Wise with their
36:04
Speaker 1: minds and shit. Instead, they kind of do like a
36:08
Speaker 1: weak ass version of that where they just like insult
36:11
Speaker 1: him and like they're like.
36:12
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid of you.
36:13
Speaker 1: They basically do the Nightmare on Elm Street thing where
36:15
Speaker 1: they're like you have no power over me, or the
36:18
Speaker 1: Labyrinth thing, you know, they just straight up do that,
36:22
Speaker 1: and then they're just like you're a clown. You're a clown,
36:25
Speaker 1: you're a bitch. You're a bitch. We don't like you,
36:27
Speaker 1: and we aren't scared of you, little bitch. And then
36:29
Speaker 1: he just like shrinks and they they tear his heart
36:32
Speaker 1: out and it's like, Okay, that fucking sucks. It fucking sucked,
36:42
Speaker 1: my dick, dude. I mean, do the book ending, Like
36:46
Speaker 1: if you these movies, like the IT movies I think
36:48
Speaker 1: have like some crazy fucking budgets, do the crazy cosmic ending.
36:52
Speaker 1: Not to mention, in the book, the whole town like collapses,
36:56
Speaker 1: like all the streets start fucking. It's basically like uh,
36:59
Speaker 1: like apocalypse going on in Dairy, where like the whole
37:03
Speaker 1: town can almost like never recover from it because of
37:07
Speaker 1: how fucking crazy this whole battle ends up becoming, uh
37:11
Speaker 1: and how powerful it is. Once it finally dies, it
37:14
Speaker 1: like destroys the roads and shit, and all the buildings
37:16
Speaker 1: start collapsing in. People are just like dying left and
37:19
Speaker 1: right because they're getting squashed by like this, you know,
37:22
Speaker 1: earthquake type of shit going on. But and this is
37:25
Speaker 1: just like the shitty house on knee Bolt Street just
37:28
Speaker 1: collapses in and they're like, well, that's that. I guess
37:32
Speaker 1: it's finally dead. Anyway, see you guys later. I'll remember
37:41
Speaker 1: you guys forever. And that's another fucking shitty thing about
37:44
Speaker 1: it is that in the book, the I thought what
37:47
Speaker 1: was really like really meaningful and what the book seems
37:50
Speaker 1: to like at least in my opinion, mostly be about
37:53
Speaker 1: is you know, obviously about like growing up and kind
37:56
Speaker 1: of forgetting your childhood or stuff like that, like the
38:00
Speaker 1: the really important moments in your childhood and kind of
38:02
Speaker 1: like losing touch with your friends, which I thought that
38:05
Speaker 1: was like really, I don't know, I just thought it
38:09
Speaker 1: it was really nice, had like a deeper meaning to
38:12
Speaker 1: it all. So at the end of the book, once
38:15
Speaker 1: they part ways, the people that leave Derry like quickly
38:20
Speaker 1: start forgetting, like Richie forgets about Mike when Mike calls him.
38:24
Speaker 1: Mike even starts forgetting even though he's the one that
38:27
Speaker 1: remembered because he's stuck around in Derry. Bill ends up
38:31
Speaker 1: sticking around in Derry and living at Mike's house while
38:33
Speaker 1: his wife recovers because his wife gets attacked by fucking
38:36
Speaker 1: penny Wise and shit, and she gets like brought into
38:39
Speaker 1: the deadlights. So he's trying to like nurse her back
38:41
Speaker 1: to health. And while they're there, they can still remember everything,
38:45
Speaker 1: but it's starting to fade. Everybody else, like Bev and
38:49
Speaker 1: Ben and everybody that leaves. They start forgetting like rapidly,
38:53
Speaker 1: and then they realize that this is it, like now
38:57
Speaker 1: that penny Wise is dead and it's gone and stuff
39:00
Speaker 1: like that, they're going to ultimately like forget each other
39:03
Speaker 1: and forget everything other than maybe see their names in
39:06
Speaker 1: their contact list. So I just thought that was a
39:09
Speaker 1: really great way to end the book, a really great
39:11
Speaker 1: way to end this story. But in the movie, they
39:14
Speaker 1: it's the opposite. They like part ways and they're just like, damn,
39:17
Speaker 1: I can remember everything fine now and we can always
39:20
Speaker 1: be friends forever, and Big Bill's gonna write the book
39:23
Speaker 1: on the damn Pennywise story or whatever, and it's just like,
39:29
Speaker 1: get that fucking bullshit out of here. They should have
39:31
Speaker 1: just stuck to the book honestly, like there's really no
39:35
Speaker 1: reason for them not to considering most of the things
39:38
Speaker 1: that they did in the movie anyway, or like kind
39:41
Speaker 1: of close to the book, you know what I mean.
39:42
Speaker 1: It felt like they were playing it fairly close. But really,
39:45
Speaker 1: just stick to the goddamn script and get it done,
39:48
Speaker 1: do it the right way this time, motherfuckers.
39:50
Speaker 2: I don't know.
39:51
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll watch Welcome to Darry I keep hearing that's
39:54
Speaker 1: really good. So I'm trying to think of there is
39:57
Speaker 1: so much because the book is so fucking long, and
40:01
Speaker 1: you know, obviously it chapter two is kind of a
40:04
Speaker 1: I guess it's like a two hour long movie, I think,
40:06
Speaker 1: But still it feels like it just barely touches some
40:10
Speaker 1: of the stuff.
40:10
Speaker 2: You know.
40:11
Speaker 1: I know that you put both the movies together to
40:14
Speaker 1: create the full story. They're they go hand in hand, fuck,
40:20
Speaker 1: But but I'm not going to think about that all
40:23
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe we'll do like a full breakdown at sometime,
40:26
Speaker 1: and I'll really get my shit together instead of just
40:28
Speaker 1: kind of doing this off the cuff. Anyway, Let's get
40:31
Speaker 1: to the final movie, the fourth and final movie. This
40:34
Speaker 1: is the main event right here. This is the one
40:36
Speaker 1: that really counts Titanic. We had Titanic panic.
40:44
Speaker 2: Damn it.
40:46
Speaker 1: We had Titanic panic in the nineties, like you'll you'll
40:50
Speaker 1: never understand unless you live through it, because I remember
40:53
Speaker 1: when this shit came out and everybody was talking about
40:56
Speaker 1: it every bit. But he had the to the two cassette,
40:59
Speaker 1: the double cassette VHS, and they were watching that shit
41:03
Speaker 1: like Gangbusters. Everybody, all the kids were talking about the
41:06
Speaker 1: titties and stuff like that, and you know what, I
41:10
Speaker 1: didn't watch that shit. I didn't watch Titanic for a
41:15
Speaker 1: long time. And it's mostly because my favorite CDs at
41:21
Speaker 1: the time when the movie came out were significant other
41:24
Speaker 1: by Limp Biscuit and Chocolate Starfish and the hot dog
41:29
Speaker 1: flavored water by Limp Biscuit. So I was not gonna
41:36
Speaker 1: watch this pussy ass movie. When I was seven years old.
41:39
Speaker 1: I was a real fucking man. I was a real
41:44
Speaker 1: metalcore wigger, and I was not gonna watch some Leonardo
41:48
Speaker 1: DiCaprio cry shit, you know what I'm saying.
41:53
Speaker 2: So I didn't watch it.
41:53
Speaker 1: Eventually, when I grew up and realized that I was
41:56
Speaker 1: a stupid, fucking idiot when I was seven, I did
41:59
Speaker 1: watch it.
41:59
Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty good, you know, but I
42:01
Speaker 2: hadn't watched it for a.
42:02
Speaker 1: Long time, so I was like, you know what, we're
42:04
Speaker 1: just gonna throw on Titanic, watch this one with the
42:07
Speaker 1: wife and just you know, really soak it in and
42:09
Speaker 1: enjoy it. It was a lot different than I remember.
42:12
Speaker 1: That was like, right away, just getting into it, I
42:15
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I don't remember all this, like shit
42:17
Speaker 1: at the beginning where they're dropping down and submersible and
42:20
Speaker 1: you got Bill Packson just being like, yeah, look for
42:23
Speaker 1: the treasure, look under the fucking look under the dresser
42:26
Speaker 1: and see if you can get to the treasurer there.
42:29
Speaker 1: So that was a little different. I was like, Okay,
42:31
Speaker 1: the effects are great. I mean, you got James Cameron
42:34
Speaker 1: up in this bitch, one of the best to ever
42:36
Speaker 1: do it, just because Terminator Aliens and Terminator two, you know,
42:40
Speaker 1: historical run this guy went on and he's kind of
42:44
Speaker 1: fucking shit in the bed now with Avatar, but you
42:46
Speaker 1: know what he does, he can do whatever he wants
42:49
Speaker 1: at this point, just with Terminator one and two alone,
42:52
Speaker 1: you know, do whatever you want, big guy. But in
42:58
Speaker 1: this movie too, he doesn't really great job.
43:00
Speaker 2: I thought.
43:00
Speaker 1: I thought the effects look great. It looks like you're
43:03
Speaker 1: really under there. They probably were building miniatures and stuff
43:07
Speaker 1: like that, especially when you see them like operating the
43:10
Speaker 1: Titanic on the inside. But the uh, the big takeaway
43:14
Speaker 1: from this movie for me is how similar it was
43:19
Speaker 1: to the recent the current events that were happening at
43:22
Speaker 1: the top the time. Like Leo goes in there. Basically
43:26
Speaker 1: Zayin is clavicular and Leo is the ASU frat leader,
43:31
Speaker 1: and Leo just straight up mog Zane and a surprising
43:34
Speaker 1: turn of events because you would kind of you know,
43:36
Speaker 1: Zayne isn't worried about Leo at all. Like Leo's on
43:39
Speaker 1: the boat just like basically stealing his bitch right under
43:43
Speaker 1: his nose, and Zayin doesn't even give a fuck.
43:46
Speaker 2: He's just kind of like, yo, what, it's a little
43:49
Speaker 2: poor piece of shit.
43:50
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, you're running around like holding my fucking
43:53
Speaker 1: fiance's hand the whole time and going dancing with her
43:55
Speaker 1: and shit like that, and she seems like she's really
43:58
Speaker 1: having a good time and she fucking hates my ass.
44:01
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that shit. I got too much
44:03
Speaker 1: damn money, and you know, surprise, surprise, Leos straight up
44:10
Speaker 1: steals his bitch. Another thing that surprised me, though, is
44:18
Speaker 1: that I didn't remember about like Rose is a seventeen
44:23
Speaker 1: year old in this movie, but after getting into it,
44:26
Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense. She acts like a fucking seventeen
44:28
Speaker 1: year old. The first interaction she has with fucking Jack
44:34
Speaker 1: or whatever is the most seventeen year old shit I've
44:37
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. She basically just kind of like,
44:42
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't even know how to explain it.
44:44
Speaker 1: She basically just acting like a dumb bitch the whole time,
44:48
Speaker 1: and Jack's just kind of like, all right, yeah, I
44:50
Speaker 1: just saved your life and shit, and She's just like, well, anyway,
44:53
Speaker 1: you're being fucking rude to me now, so I don't
44:55
Speaker 1: even want to talk to your fucking bitch ass. And
44:57
Speaker 1: Jack's like, all right, then we'll see later, I guess.
45:00
Speaker 1: And then she's like, what what you're gonna You're not
45:04
Speaker 1: even gonna, you know, try to fucking talk to me
45:06
Speaker 1: anymore or something. He's like, I don't know, you're the
45:07
Speaker 1: one that said you didn't want to talk to me
45:10
Speaker 1: or some shit like that, and then uh, and She's
45:12
Speaker 1: like well I never you know, and shit like that
45:15
Speaker 1: like some straight up mister bright side music video type
45:18
Speaker 1: of shit on his ass. I don't know it was.
45:22
Speaker 1: It was driving me nuts, honestly, the whole Rose character
45:25
Speaker 1: in this movie. I know, it's like a pretty common
45:28
Speaker 1: take anymore to to think that, like Rose is the
45:32
Speaker 1: villain of the movie, because she obviously could have let
45:34
Speaker 1: Jack on the fucking the door and he didn't have
45:37
Speaker 1: to freeze to death in the fucking ocean or whatever.
45:41
Speaker 1: But I think even before all that, she's just kind
45:45
Speaker 1: of a fucking dumb ass. She's she's on this ship,
45:48
Speaker 1: you know, she meets Jack and they start falling in
45:51
Speaker 1: love and stuff like that and partying and having fun
45:54
Speaker 1: and everything. And then she's got this other guy here, Zaying,
45:58
Speaker 1: that's like a billionaire that wants to marry her, and
46:02
Speaker 1: she is, you know, she doesn't want to marry him.
46:04
Speaker 1: But hey, guess what the thing that they they do
46:07
Speaker 1: talk about this she doesn't have to even marry him.
46:12
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fucking deal is. I get
46:14
Speaker 1: that her mom wants her to marry Zay. You know,
46:17
Speaker 1: I can't think of his real name, so I'm just
46:18
Speaker 1: calling him Zaying because it's played by Billy Zayin.
46:21
Speaker 2: She doesn't have to marry him.
46:22
Speaker 1: It's not like the Middle East or something where they're
46:24
Speaker 1: gonna like chop her head off if she doesn't marry
46:26
Speaker 1: this guy. She's just like her mom's just like, hey,
46:29
Speaker 1: we're about out of fucking money, bitch, marry this fucking
46:32
Speaker 1: rich guy or whatever. And she's just like, I don't
46:34
Speaker 1: want to. I hate hanging out with rich people. They're
46:36
Speaker 1: so fucking boring. I just want to hang out with
46:38
Speaker 1: this goddamn poor guy that lives under a bridge and uh.
46:42
Speaker 1: And she could do that as the thing. She could
46:44
Speaker 1: just be like, hey, even if she didn't like go
46:47
Speaker 1: be with Jack or whatever, she could just be like, actually, Mom,
46:51
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna marry this motherfucker. I don't give a
46:53
Speaker 1: shit if you have to sell your clothes and work
46:55
Speaker 1: a regular job, because those are like the circumstances that
46:58
Speaker 1: we're dealing with here. Her mom's base like, hey, we
47:01
Speaker 1: used to be rich, but your fucking dad's dead or whatever,
47:03
Speaker 1: and he didn't leave us anything, so we're running out
47:06
Speaker 1: of damn money. Do you want to have to sell
47:08
Speaker 1: all of our stuff? And it's like, yeah, you know,
47:11
Speaker 1: why doesn't she just say like yeah, that's fine with me.
47:13
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck if you sell all of
47:14
Speaker 1: her stuff. Obviously, she's like getting ready to kill herself.
47:18
Speaker 1: At one point, she's getting ready to jump off the
47:20
Speaker 1: back of the Titanic, like, you know, thirty minutes into
47:23
Speaker 1: the movie and kill herself. And it's just like, yeah,
47:25
Speaker 1: why don't you just tell your mom that be like, yeah,
47:27
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'll marry this guy, but I'm
47:29
Speaker 1: probably gonna kill myself.
47:31
Speaker 2: Is that cool with you?
47:32
Speaker 1: Her mom, you know, at that point might at least
47:34
Speaker 1: listen and be like, yeah, you know what, maybe fucking
47:38
Speaker 1: marry somebody else. We'll see, I'll get a job. It's
47:40
Speaker 1: not that big a deal. Don't jump off the Titanic
47:43
Speaker 1: and kill yourself, dumb bitch, and stuff like that. So yeah,
47:46
Speaker 1: there's that, there's that whole angle to it where it's
47:48
Speaker 1: like she's she's kind of making all this fucking drama
47:52
Speaker 1: for no reason, and like Billy Zaying doesn't even really
47:55
Speaker 1: seem to give a fuck. He's not like this guy.
47:57
Speaker 1: That's like you get to a point later on in
48:00
Speaker 1: the movie where yeah, he does become a piece of
48:02
Speaker 1: shit and he does like smacker and stuff like that,
48:05
Speaker 1: and he you know, he does the thing with the
48:07
Speaker 1: kid when he's trying to get off the boat.
48:09
Speaker 2: He's a shitty guy. Obviously.
48:11
Speaker 1: I'm not like sticking up for Billy Zane's character in
48:14
Speaker 1: this movie or anything like that. But as far as
48:16
Speaker 1: like him and Rosa's relationship goes, he's he's just kind
48:20
Speaker 1: of like telling her like, Yep, we're gonna get married,
48:22
Speaker 1: which is the truth, and she's just kind of like, Oh,
48:24
Speaker 1: I fucking you're disgusting. I fucking hate you and stuff
48:28
Speaker 1: like that. But he's just kind of chilling the whole time.
48:30
Speaker 1: He's just like, Nah, this is what I do. I'm
48:32
Speaker 1: a fucking rich guy. Go hang out with my rich
48:34
Speaker 1: guy friends and we talk about boring shit and drink
48:37
Speaker 1: and smoke and whatever. You know what I'm saying. But
48:40
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. Like if she was being
48:42
Speaker 1: forced into marriage or whatever, it would make a little
48:45
Speaker 1: more sense. But the option is always there. And I
48:48
Speaker 1: think even if she just told him like, hey, I
48:51
Speaker 1: don't want to marry you, let's not get married, you know,
48:56
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be that big a deal
48:57
Speaker 1: to him. He's like a young guy too, and he's
49:00
Speaker 1: got all this money and shit, it's not like she's
49:02
Speaker 1: the only person out there for him to marry it.
49:05
Speaker 2: It doesn't make.
49:06
Speaker 1: Any fucking sense to me, honestly, Like, especially around this
49:08
Speaker 1: time watching and I was like, I don't know, that
49:12
Speaker 1: whole thing feels pretty weak, the whole story about this,
49:14
Speaker 1: like you know, love triangle kind of thing that's going
49:18
Speaker 1: on here. It doesn't hold much weight for me this
49:20
Speaker 1: time around. The other thing that kind of stood out
49:24
Speaker 1: to me this time is that they made Billy Zane's
49:26
Speaker 1: character entirely too gay. Like half the time he's covered
49:30
Speaker 1: in fucking foundation and his eyebrows are drawn on.
49:33
Speaker 2: He doesn't need to look that gay.
49:35
Speaker 1: Okay, they should have made him like a like cooler looking,
49:39
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I don't know what that
49:42
Speaker 1: choice was all about, but I just cannot take this
49:45
Speaker 1: guy fucking serious the whole time, you know what. It's
49:48
Speaker 1: like almost the way that he looks it's the only
49:50
Speaker 1: reason not to like him in the movie for the
49:53
Speaker 1: most part. It's just like I can't get past that,
49:56
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I can't get past the
49:59
Speaker 1: way he looks, his eyebrows, his hairline, his foundation, and shit,
50:03
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for that, I would think he's a
50:05
Speaker 1: pretty okay guy. But I remember thinking like, oh, this
50:08
Speaker 1: guy's awful, like right off the bat, and it's really
50:11
Speaker 1: just the way that he looks just you know, kind
50:14
Speaker 1: of sucks to say, but it's the truth.
50:16
Speaker 2: Huh.
50:17
Speaker 1: So other than that, was there anything else to say
50:20
Speaker 1: about The Titanic. It's a It's an interesting story, that's
50:25
Speaker 1: for sure. I guess, like, cut all this fucking bullshit out. Yeah,
50:29
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty much it. Other than like Rose
50:32
Speaker 1: proves to also be a big dumb bitch at the
50:34
Speaker 1: very end of the movie too, where she's just like,
50:36
Speaker 1: here's this necklace that you're fucking looking for and she
50:39
Speaker 1: throws it into the ocean again, and it's just like, hey, bitch,
50:42
Speaker 1: why don't you throw yourself into the fucking ocean for once?
50:56
Speaker 1: Get the fuck out of this movie already. So anyway, yeah,
51:00
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I didn't rate it chapter two yet.
51:04
Speaker 1: Chapter two is a one out of five. That movie sucked.
51:08
Speaker 1: The Titanic three out of five still pretty decent, Still
51:11
Speaker 1: holds up pretty well.
51:12
Speaker 2: I thought.
51:13
Speaker 1: I thought, like, yeah, the effects and everything, the weakest
51:16
Speaker 1: part about it is the love triangle and kind of
51:18
Speaker 1: the bullshit story or whatever where it's just like, all right,
51:22
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, these guys are fucking in
51:25
Speaker 1: a car or whatever and they're running around and just
51:29
Speaker 1: a lot of it didn't add up. There's also the
51:31
Speaker 1: whole thing with like the guy that's Billy Zane's like assistant,
51:35
Speaker 1: why does he hate Jack so much? Billy Zane doesn't
51:39
Speaker 1: have anything financially to gain from this marriage, is what
51:42
Speaker 1: you find out. Like there's no money coming in it
51:45
Speaker 1: for him, and if he's this like greedy asshole, you
51:47
Speaker 1: think that would be the whole motivation. So why does
51:50
Speaker 1: this guy give a fuck if she's running off with
51:53
Speaker 1: Jack or not. But this guy's like ready to murder
51:55
Speaker 1: Jack because, you know, because she's cheating on him with Jack.
52:02
Speaker 1: And it just doesn't make any sense. Is it just
52:04
Speaker 1: because he hates poor people? I guess that's like one
52:08
Speaker 1: one reason you could come up with. But other than that,
52:10
Speaker 1: I mean, it just what's the whole point of the movie.
52:13
Speaker 1: It's just this guy that's like, yeah, I'm gonna fucking
52:16
Speaker 1: handcuff you while the ship's sinking, and you know, talk
52:20
Speaker 1: like basically threatening you with a gun. The whole time
52:23
Speaker 1: because you're banging this seventeen year old girl like it
52:27
Speaker 1: just doesn't really make any sense to me. But other
52:32
Speaker 1: than that, pretty solid movie, and that's it. That's the
52:42
Speaker 1: Wisdom Tooth movie marathon the Titanic Panic from the nineties.
52:47
Speaker 1: Next week, I'm just gonna pick up where I left
52:49
Speaker 1: off and watch the movie TwixT by Francis Ford Coppola.
52:54
Speaker 1: I don't know much about this movie. I'm really interested
52:57
Speaker 1: to check it out. I'm sure we're going to be
52:59
Speaker 1: doing a little in depth look at Coppola's history and
53:02
Speaker 1: some of his questionable decision making when it comes to
53:04
Speaker 1: supporting child predators. That's definitely a hot topic in the
53:11
Speaker 1: news lately. If you haven't heard about the Epstein Files,
53:15
Speaker 1: I wonder if FFC Francis Ford Coppola might pop up
53:18
Speaker 1: in those, because it gets a little bit more questionable
53:22
Speaker 1: than probably what you're expecting. If you don't know about
53:25
Speaker 1: his relationship with a certain director from a certain movie
53:30
Speaker 1: called Jeepers, Creepers, We'll talk about that next week, because
53:35
Speaker 1: I couldnot believe this shit when I first learned about it.
53:38
Speaker 1: So thanks for listening, and good night.
54:15
Speaker 3: No.
54:16
Speaker 1: No, no, Not.
54:34
Speaker 3: Of the of
55:12
Speaker 1: Dou
