Cool, ladies and gentlemen, and I'm Merry Christmas. Welcome back to our
second annual Christmas retrospective. I'm the Scared parent dress now and I'm joined by
I'm the ex kirklum Patzer on the Christmas Caroler, Dilmas and the misdirect dator
Field. Yes, ladies and gentle this is something we started. I think
last year we would do the Halloween Christmas We've done here and there, but
last year we did the night before and this year we have done better.
Watch out a twenty twenty sixteen sixteen. It's twenty seventeen. First of all,
that is a made up number sixteen. That's twenty twenty. But you
said twenty twenty seve Oh yeah, no, that was completely wrong. Yeah,
I will say this. This is our massive core day. So this
is cast three and you know this is our almost four podcasting. So you
know it's been a longer day with some very iffy content that we've been talking
about. Yeah, so maybe maybe this will be the breaker. Who knows?
So Taylor, where can they find us on the interwebs and everything?
Please jump me fasty air connection and search park keip versus doas or base keypers
cast or Twitter keek vers is our Facebook. Oh you did that too fast
for me, because I'm gonna find out who did this. But that's okay.
Let's see here. A big thank you too, April of Darkness patron
producer who get out of here. A big thank you to April who recommended
this and won the vote. So I will give the synopsis for this because
we will. You know, go watch it if you want to. You
know, I don't know, not be surprised because I'd say there's a s
pubs had said this, and I'd never seen this, and I guess I'm
gonna go first because I just revealed my thing. But there is a nice
little i'd say twenty twenty five minutes in a switch, but the synopsis on
a quiet suburban street, a babysitter must defend a twelve year old from intruders,
only to discover it's far from unnatural or a normal home invasion, not
a natural home invasion, not a natural about that. But yeah, this
was my first time. I'd heard about every once in a while, but
I honestly hadn't heard like people being like you have to see this. I
just around and seeing like oh this is cool horf and I feel like we
had talked about this in the discord like a year or two ago when something
I don't know if it was the Mean One or the Santa Claus with Dave
Harbor, there was just some other Christmas horror movie where it was like,
oh have you seen this? There was some talk and forth back and then
so I, yeah, I'd never seen this. I did end up enjoying
this, and I will say that luckily with the misdirect that made me like
it or whatever the change up, because the first fifteen twin Mintes, I
was not digging it. I was like, oh, man, I don't
like where we're going. There's a certain like storyline they're doing where I'm like,
I just don't even feel like a chemistry here, which is odd because
some certain ages, but just like there wasn't. I was like, hey,
this feels very straight to DVD type of horror movie, and you know,
that's fine, we'll see but then there is a nice little twist.
Then yeah, it's a good, solid little flick. I don't know if
it's gonna be in my repertoire of watching it every year. I think this
is one that maybe in the future I would. But there's some fun moments.
A big shut out to the kid leave Mila, who was like now
like he's like an adult but still like at this age. Very fun.
Good performance from someone that's quite younger. Uh so that was good. So
yeah, this this was This was an entertaining time. It kept me on
my toes. I enjoyed it for the majority of the time. Maybe it's
only an hour and a half, but maybe you could even shorten it like
a little bit, because I feel near to the end. It starts to
almost overstay. It's welcome, not quite there, but like, okay,
this is you know this other character. I don't know if we need this,
but no, I enjoyed it, and like I said, this was
my first time. So yeah, I'm in a very similar boat here.
Uh. Never never even heard of this one for me, and I think
it is a very generic title. So I feel like, even a few
months from now have you mentioned it, I will not remember what it is
until you tell me a couple of plot points. I'm like, oh,
yeah, better watch out, that's the one. But yeah, I had
a really good time with this. I had the exact same journey as you.
Travis where I was like, Okay, this is very generic. I've
seen this a thousand times before. But yeah, thankfully that like happens pretty
quick where the switch happens, and then you just get some really fun stuff
where yeah, the main character really true in the scenery. Uh. And
there's not many characters in this it's pretty Uh it's pretty compact in that way,
and I think they all kind of do their job and whatnot. So
yeah, I had a really good time with it. I thought it was
a really really fun movie. Not that it's like an all timer or anything
like that, but just a very solid good time. I saw this movie
last year for the first time, and it was a complete surprise. I
remember I was popping off talking to Spubs about it and s Bubs he shared,
he shared, he shared me. I think it was a twee he
shared me a tweet. I believe it was from the director where the director
was actually hinting at the sequel for this, like like stay tuned, like
some new stuff coming around or whatever. That was last year. Was that
you that shared it? No, I just been like, you don't need
it not happening. I would love the budget, but like we haven't had
any any news news on it, so it's it's I mean, it is
what it is, But what is the budget versus box budget was three million
and from the box office. I mean, I'll just let you find it.
I want to see your reaction. Oh my god, box Yeah one
hundred. I didn't even know this was actually the thousand, one hundred and
eighty nine thousand. To be honest, I'll look that screams that it was
streaming in me only opened a few plays. But if that, there's no
way they got a why. I don't know how you could blow three million
on this movie, to be honest, Like here, well, as some
that's what his name is, Is it Dakary We've discovered as Really it's not.
But that's just how I remember it. You've corrected me, You've told
me multiple times, and every time, I'm just like dak Montgomery. I'm
sorry. No Emily knows it. I'll ask. I'll ask her in a
second. She's outside. But yeah, I don't. I sawbody, like
I'm not saying, I get it has to just be the cameras then,
because as somebody as we as we, I will a little spoiler. Our
second film takes place mostly just in the house. I was like, yeah,
where did three million go? I guess you know, we're not getting
paid, but still like it is like a three million that like what the
box office should be their budget and flip, but that's not the case.
But yeah, I think the fact that this movie, like when I watched
it for the first time, I was watching with mass and like, obviously,
watching it this time, you already know what's going on. I'm expecting
it, but there's still other fun things to just kind of like you recall
and pick up on. But that first viewing of this film, it I
didn't watch a trailer. The trailer does give it away the twist, which
is it's super shitty, but going going in watching the first time, because
I didn't see the trailer, it was like, holy crap, Like we
mass, We're trying to figure out what's going on. This is crazy.
We couldn't keep up with it for the most part because things were just getting
progressively more outrageous and just how things were being one uped and upped and upped.
It was. It was crazy how far this this person was willing to
go in this story, and there was a lot of things that were really
unexpected too that that happened. But I was really satisfied with the ending.
I definitely enjoyed it. So yeah, I think that this is this is
something that I'm gonna watch again for sure, and I'm glad that I was
able to catch it last year because the fact that it came out in twenty
sixteen and went under the radar this long, that's super unfortunate. I feel
like there was no marketing for this movie because I don't think you saw that
box office. Yeah, I mean the budget that should have all went to
fucking marketing and promotion because clearly no one's there to spoil the secret, you
know. Yeah, yeah, so it's Daker Daker Montgomery, remember going on
so tyry. You weren't far off production. The film was show in Sydney,
Australia in January and February twenty sixteen. It was originally said to be
filmed in South Carolina for a five undred thousand dollars budgets, so they were
originally aiming for that when director Chris peck Over. When director Chris Peckover was
approached by Australian producer Brett thorn Quest. These are the area the money laundering.
Peck this is the money laundering movies for sure. He offered him three
million budget to shoot the film in Australia after hearing Peckover's mother was Australian native.
What the fuck is going on? When are we gonna get a lucky
break like that? Like, yeah, I wonder if it was like,
Okay, let's go to Australia because maybe time of the year it's like winter
there and they can have snow that they can use. But like it seems
like no, instead of just some random hair brain scheme your months from Australia,
here's three million dollars. This is money laundering for sure. There's something
fucking up with this movie. The money was not for the film. It
was for threes Sentence who he Brent Thornquest offered the director three billion budget to
shoot the film in Australia after hearing the director's mother was an Australian native something
what's confusing? Weird? Well the weird things million bucks that's like my yeah,
it's just very peculiar. But like it's like we're gonna producers for Taylors
like legacy. Yeah, you said, like the money is obviously going well,
not obviously, but the money is like for the cameras and cameras and
cameras and sound probably all one set piece. Uh and just Christmas decorations real
known actors really too. Yeah, so like who's getting the bulk of that?
I feel like the director was paying Chris over Chris peckover mom. Yeah,
I want to see in the future. We get him there for an
interview for a better watch out, and we just paraded with questions the money.
We never asked him a single question about the money, like, so,
how did your mom and the producer link up? You know what's thorn
quest Like I got to see what else thorn quest To produced? After all
we're talking. This is exciting. But so after that the release in May
twenty seventeen, so Dylan is right where I guess some markets it was twenty
sixteen, was twenty seventeen. It was released, It was acquired by well
Go USA. I was released theatrically and through VOD so it might have been
a double release in Australia. I feel like this movie's almost like too soon
because I feel like it came out pre all these streaming services existing in a
big way except for Netflix. And I feel like it actually probably would have
been a pretty successful big hit on a streaming service if it came out in
that era when that was more calm, calm, and I guess, like
the Colvid era or later, or even a little bit before. And then
Australia was released in select theaters in November, so there you go. So
it had some some runs, all the Australians being like, oh, it
was filmed in our backyard, just like an American movie, like as American
as it gets. Heeps giving them all this money. Okay, so before
we get into the actual movie, Brent thron Quest, let's see what he's
produced here. So he's produced The Jungle, Infany Tear, Miss Better Watch
Out, The Rises, Child, Blood Vessel two Heads. Cree. What
if we went through all these movies and like all of the directors have a
parent from Australia and that's like the define thing. Yeah, so this was
really his only thing. But yeah, we gotta we gotta lie to him
and say I also got a parent in Australia film there. Yeah, yeah,
perfect, all right, so yeah, let's I'll get my thoughts first,
Travis. But this one is very interesting because well, first of all,
I'd never heard of this movie before. Before I jumped in, I
saw like the poster for it, so I kind of assumed it was a
thriller type situation. It looks kind of spooky on the cover. And then
as I was watching it, I popped on the letterbox and I popped on
a couple other I guess just rating things, and overall it's pretty positive.
I feel like everyone that I follow on letterbox is like a three year higher
on this. I really really really did not like this movie at all.
I know, very very spicy like take. I was curious how you guys
were gonna be feeling coming into it. But yeah, just like, man,
I really did not like this movie like at all. I think a
big part of it is the main kid. I just I really was getting
annoyed by his just like his line delivery is really chewing up the scenery which
goes one way or the other, and I hated it. I was so
annoyed. I checked the time three different times throughout this movie, and I'm
like, I cannot pliny how long this movie is. I was halfway through
and I was like, man, if this wasn't a Patreon pick, Like,
there's no way I was gonna be finishing this movie. Now that being
said, I feel like there is certain things that happened throughout it that I
am glad I kind of stuck on there, just because it does have some
twists and turns. The first initial like thirty minutes or whatnot, it just
felt like so like six out of ten, maybe seven out of ten,
like a thriller type thing. So it's just it's very generic. And then
the twist happened, it kind of had me interested, and then it just
like I totally fell off with just what was going on on the scenes.
You know, when my boy Daker comes into the movie, that's when I
kind of peaked again on my interest level. And then it's just like there's
nothing that even really happens with that character. So I was made disappointed from
it. So yeah, overall, I just really had a hard time getting
through this. I am excited to talk to you guys about it, obviously,
like all three of you are a lot more positive on it, and
I don't know, maybe you'll just talk about certain things that kind of boost
it a little bit in my eyes, But I think a big part of
it is just what they're going for who they were doing it with. I
just it wasn't working for me, And I think that's just where it's at,
which is interesting because I feel like, normally, if a movie is
mostly positive, like just not even amongst us, but just like amongst like
the general audience, I feel like I'm usually in that like positive category.
But this one was just like majorly, majorly in the opposite direction. So
yeah, let's jump into let's talk about this one. Did you put Doune
on after as your palate closer? Actually no, I watched, you know,
to Break the Fourth Wall. Getting ready. I watch all of our
what we were talking about today yesterday, I watched them all. I started
like two episodes of X Men, and then I started with Sucker Punch,
and then and then Shane didn't want to watch Sucker Punch with me, so
I'm like, hey, well maybe she'll watch this Christmas movie with me.
So I threw on better watch Out. We watched that one all together,
and then I finished off with X Men, and then I finished off the
night with Sucker Punch, which took me till like two in the morning.
Awful, very very very I started watching it like Monday, I'm like,
I gotta space it out or I was not gonna go crazy? Did you
think it? Oh? Sorry, go ahead, Dylan. Do you still
that line from the excellent introspective that may Needle was going through in that episode?
Oh, like weary of this life, weary of this darkness, something
like that at the end of the Yeah, watch yeah, especially like not
everything that we talked about today was very positive. It was actually quite opposite.
So, yeah, it was a weird day for me. You said
she didn't like Sucker Punch? Does she like Better Watch Out? She didn't
like it. She was concerned because because she doesn't like thriller or horror movies
like at all, so she thought it was gonna get too scary the podcast,
but all the content we're reviewing, she's like, what's going on the
latest Peckover movie? Does No? I think I think it was weird enough
that she was engaged, but like we were both just really not vibing with
what was going on. And uh so, yeah, yeah, I wouldn't
say she liked it at all. You're separated now. That broke it up
that they're like, yeah, we gotta She was like, I can't be
a part of this anymore. Okay, now I gotta know what fucking Peckover
has been doing too, because nothing, he hasn't directed a movie since then.
He the most reason thing he is twenty twenty three, he was a
story consultant on a thing. But that's the last that's the last of it.
So unfortunately this tank and he just like hasn't had a career. Centwich
to me is sad, like this is this is a cool movie. Uh,
it seems like it's very me that call he was on the producers no
pecock or whatever, pecock pecock because to me, this seems like the first
twenty thirty minutes is like it's perfect, how much it's like close to just
how generic these kinds of movies can be. And so to me, it
seems like this seems like a very i don't know, like expertly crafted.
Maybe feels like an overstatement, but it feels like it's very aware of like
what these movies are like with the genre, what the tropes are, and
so it's like doing that and then misdirecting in a way. I thought it
was very fun. So it's it's disappointing that like there's really none nothing else
to see from this guy. And I don't know, like I guess undocumented
this other movie he's done. I don't know if I should go back and
check that out or something. But yeah, I wonder what he's doing now.
Yeah, that sure, tim Wolf like me is a showing peak call.
I bet this guy would come on geek first. I think we could.
I think we'd find him. What do you think one on one with
him and courage. He's just busy, you know, directing the latest Marvel
movie or something like, Well, you gotta find out where that money went,
you know, like that's a big that's a big really took the money
and ran run. That's why he's not working. He doesn't need to.
He's three point million dollars or whatever. Oh boy, Okay, well we'll
take We'll take it ad break here, just because then the people that haven't
seen the movie, if they don't want to be spoiled on some of the
revels if you've listened to Okay, I'm more tempted about now. It is
a Christmas movie. It is a horror Christmas movie, but it is Christmas.
So we'll take a little break and then when we get back we're full
into it, so if you are interested, definitely don't stick around if you've
not seen it, because we will spoil some of the Swiss. So we'll
be right back. And we're back, so dyl must take us away.
Yeah, I was curious, would you guys think that this was a Christmas
movie? Always was always a Christmas movie? Because I feel like there's obviously
a lot in yours. There's snow, and there's like home Alone references and
things like this. But I also felt like for a lot of this movie,
I kind of completely forgot it was Christmas was the setting. So do
you guys, Do you guys think it always was of that or like,
I don't, I don't know where it would come like down the line.
I kind of feel like it always maybe had to be. But I just
feel like it'd be pretty easy to morph this into a non Christmas movie.
So yeah, I think that you could definitely get away with this not being
a Christmas movie. You just changed like the title, and like that could
be it. Like you could have this in a you could completely have this
in like a Halloween type setting and it would be like the same type movie.
There's a Malone reference at one point, but like, really, that's
that's kind of it. There's no there's no major like Santa Claus type things.
And I feel like, for like the early portion of this movie,
I was expecting some sort of twist to happen, and I was expecting like
some crazy thing like Santa Claus is fucking fading this house or something like.
I I was waiting for that reveal to happen, and then when it happened,
it is like, Okay, like it really isn't a Christmas twist or
anything. Like Honestly, I was expecting something like that the fact that it
was Christmas Eve. So yeah, I completely agree with you. I think
that this is just it's a yeah, it's it's like when people say that
the Joker movie isn't isn't really a Joker movie. It's just they just happen
to have the Joker title slapped onto it, but Jokers only even the last
fifteen minutes, you know. Yeah, that's to me, this is like
there's two types of Christmas movies. There is a Christmas movie and there's movies
you can watch a Christmas That's what Diehard is and that's what this is.
Diehard is the same thing. You take out Christmas your place with any holiday,
it's the same thing. There's a few references, but you can make
it. You know, it's not I don't understand how you can think this
is not a Christmas really and Diehard watch Diheart again. It's the same fucking
deal, Diehard. You can make it Halloween, New Year's, Thanksgiving.
There's very few references and same thing. So I feel like it maybe all
he was a Christmas movie because it's a good gimmick, like it's a good
ty. I like the title, like it's playing off of, you know,
the whole Santa Claus thing, and there's enough of it there, so
I feel like it was in the idea. It's just not like you could
just do this at any point because the how it's subverting is not the Christmas
stuff, the Chrismas. It's not like what Kirkland said, where oh it's
sand and he's killing people, or it's like it's based off of this.
You could make it at any point. The family's going out for Halloween party,
Thanksgiving party, and these kids are home alone and one's horny and dangerous,
right, so like so say there's chat name on that'll make like a
subtitle for the next Home Alone, or that could be that could be number
two for this better watch dangerous. Have you seen the guy now, Levi
Miller, he's like more like he's like I saw him playing guitar. He
look pretty jack. So yeah, exactly, I'll put these two movies together
for sure. All of are showing up. So yeah, I bet it
was. It's just like it's a good hook. But because like they also
have like the snows there, like there's enough things that I guess you'd have
to ask, but I think there's enough things that feel the conception. It
was like we want this to at least take place at Christmas, and it
helps it. It's good, Like I think you had to take this place
at like a hallway. That helps it a little bit. So Levi Miller
is in Craven the Hunter. I heard about that. Yeah, so I'm
curious what he's gonna be doing in that asking for more producers for some money.
You know. Oh, my director's mom was in Australia. We heard
what happened to Brent Thorncourst. He took all the money and ran right the
squest. But yeah, I mean, I guess getting into the into the
twist the reveal, you know it was the kid setting up this, this
whole, this whole scheme, and yeah, then then like this main what's
the name of the kid? I don't want to keep saying, Levi Miller,
what's the name of the actual character? Luke Luke right, Yeah,
just being a full on psycho and going, uh, going crazy here locking
her up. I love that he has planned out this whole night to such
an extent that he's got a plan for how everything is going to play out,
setting up this like suicide note, for explaining how the boyfriend came back
and all that. Like to me when when it gets to that part,
I just think he's so fun in that role because he's very much like Kyla
RNG where he's just like he's an emotional baby. He's just crying and freaking
out at anything that's not going like exactly to his plan. And I know
Kirklan's not a fan, but yeah, I just I thought he was like
a really, really fun character. When we got to that point of it,
I said, don't touch our asshole, and he like he shoots his
friend away and everything. This is not part of the plant. Yeah,
No, I I I guess, yeah, unfortunately, I'm sorry Kirkly,
you were annoyed by the kid. But it's not I can see it though.
It's not like a what it's not like a performance from like this kid
was amazing. I liked the cheering, the scenery is good. It reminded
me very much like of a human Chucky doll. That's why he was playing
off like this guy kid felt like what Chucky feels like sometimes, you know,
where he has little quirks and stuff. And again I was, what,
sorry, I'm just thinking of that scene from the Chucky TV Show.
You're watching the Chucky TV show now, I've only seen the kow Yeah,
okay, oh right of course. Yeah yeah. So I was happy that
happened because I did feel like before the twist he was even coming off as
a little creepy and a little met and I did not buy it all.
When she's like, oh, if you were my age, maybe I date
you, It's like I'm not seeing this. I don't like. There's show.
There's movies like The Sandlot where you can see like the older girl in
the younger and he's say, oh, like somehow they even do like this
chemistry or even like an it. They do that a little bit, but
like he was like, this is all creep and I was like, if
this whole movie is this like meet cue of these two getting together, and
I'm like, I'm not for any of this. But luckily it wasn't.
And I kind of like that that's the playoff on it because even before he's
like researching about like how oh, if you watch scary movies, it gets
girls like more horny and into It's like he's all like he's playing a trick,
but I feel like he's trying to He's trying to like still win this
scroll over because like I know he has the plan, but I don't know
what that wasn't his plan from the beginning of the night, right, that's
a plan? Yeah? More Yeah, it kept it kept going off the
plan than he was kind of improvising. Yeah. Still felt like he to
me to some extent, I feel like he had like he had some of
these backup plans in mind. Yeah, but the way he so quickly thought
about some of these crazy schemes. And it is a great moment where all
that happens and then she's yelling at him and he just slaughs her and she
just goes down the stairs and I was like, is she dead? Like
what the like? It was such a good I love that there was very
little build up. There's build up in like that ten seconds, but it's
the right amount of not me figuring out like, oh, something's off with
this kid, because I was not expecting him just to like. I like
that. Even just laughed too. It wasn't a punch, it was a
slap like. It was just something that I wouldn't act with the gun,
right because he had the gun in his hand. Didn't think of that.
Oh maybe he did. I think there was. I can't remember. It's
a slap. We outvoted, you know, three million to one. Clearly
wasn't watch your movie. You guys are probably right. Yeah, he was
watching that in Sucker Punch at the same time. Yeahs and yeah, just
three screens. But yeah, no, I think it's like we talked about
before, the beginning is a generic start, but it works in kind of
conception of what happens after because at first like, oh, right, like
what's gonna happen? And the second I say, oh, isn't that your
mask, that's when the fund starts to happen and uh uh yeah, hygiene
that kiss that he goes for on the coach when they're watching the movie.
I was dying laughing at that, Like he just he's so he just like
I don't know, just like the whole movement he does there, it's just
so over the top. I loved it. So yeah. So the opening
portion of the movie, like I said earlier, it just said, it
just seems so generic and just boring and like forgettable. So I am glad
that that wasn't the whole movie. I think that I was expecting some sort
of twist to happen, Like I said, I was expecting some fucking Santa
Claus thing, mean, mean one level twist. I wasn't expecting exactly that
it was just his plan all along. I feel like unfortunately, like I
was kind of just bored of it in that sequence and then when it just
we kept going on of like him trying to like win her over, and
I think I just had way too much like like over analyzing of the situation
of like he's like supposed to be twelve years old and she's what five years
older than him. I think they in the sequence and I'm just like,
this is so cringey to watch. I hate this so much, like all
these scenes are going on way too long of him trying to like schmooze her,
and I just really wasn't vibing like that early on with just his charisma
of the actor, like just just selling these scenes. Obviously, you guys
took it the right way. I'm i'm, I'm, I'm, I took
it the wrong way here. Uh. And then so those sequences were already
going on way too long for me. I just wasn't liking the material that
we were getting. And then I think I really like piqued my interest when
we did get that reveal when he does get to the point of like smacking
her down the stairs, and it's just like, holy shit, what is
going on here? This movie is not what I expected. But then when
we go into this just yeah, like again like he is the main villain
here, he is the one chewing up the scenery. I was just really
annoyed with it because I was just I was just getting like, yeah,
he is a psychopath. But it's also like he just seemed like a very
like overly privileged child of just like he's so upset that this babysitter isn't just
like wanting to smooch him and like be his girlfriend. I just really was
like, man, there's no like, there's no there's nothing for me that
like makes me want to I don't know, like and like watch this this
sequence go on and like really like if this was a patri but I feel
like I would have just turned off the movie right there, which is probably
good that I had to stick through it and watch it, because there is
some some twist and turns that kind of happened along the way there. But
I just really didn't like the character. And it's just I don't know,
I guess I just took it not in the right the right way there,
but uh yeah, so yeah, I I really don't have like much more
to say on like the character over that. It's just it wasn't working for
me at the end. It was it was kind of fun when like the
music changed his mom and dad were coming home and he just like had a
list of things to like this is just how he's going to be innocent.
But yeah, I just really really wasn't a fan of the of that character.
And that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. I was really worried
was like, that's really all I had to say, and then he said
that character just turn off the twenty seven minutes into the podcast. That's all
I had to say. That's it. Yeah, yeah, he I think
the actor did a great job because the character is very much he just you
get angry with him and frustrated because he's just keeps getting the one up and
just in situations where you think, man, how is he pulling through and
how's he how's he got her tied up? Has he taken down the x's
all that kind of stuff, and it's like, fuck, he's just still
coming out on top. His plans are changing and he's still just a little
shit And I think he I liked how he was doing this and even though
he was like just getting on my nerves, but that I think he had
kind of like a Jeoffrey Game of Thrones vibe to him, I guess you
could say, and just very immaturely at the top of the food chain and
you just you you hate him. So I definitely enjoyed that aspect and just
how he, uh, how he's going about doing things. Just that's where
it starts to get really like, uh more humorous and whatnot. But at
the very beginning I thought that I thought that there was something weird going on,
and that didn't start until maybe the back half of when things went really
like sideways. So I thought, oh, okay, we're really getting just
like some home invasion like serial killer kind of set up here. When like
the friend died and all that kind of stuff, I was really like I
was eating it up, like okay, this is this is pretty crazy.
But again it felt like, Okay, this is something we've seen before.
But then that twist, it's so like you're at one hundred because you feel
like this guy's walk around like a shotgun rifle in the house. You feel
like the things are really gonna go sideways. But then it immediately when she
figures out who it is, the twist has calmed down, like Okay,
this is really what's going on, and there's a moment of reprieve and it's
calmed down and you don't feel like it's gonna go up the ante again.
But like you said, that slap comes and it's like, holy shit,
we're in another like we're we've crossed that line and we're in a really wild
moment now with what our characters are doing so I like that. Yeah,
and I do like because there's always this sort of I guess I do.
But what I like is there is stakes throughout where you get that one boyfriend
that died, you get the friend that died, because sometimes I feel like
a lot of these situations there's a lot of like when that boyfriend showed up
and he has the flowers. I like that the kid didn't explain away because
I think these all see is that where the neighbor does get to explain away
and then they don't come back to me the third act. So I like
that. I think if the whole movie was just the two young boys and
her tied up and like talking him down, the twist would be fun,
but for me, the rest of it wouldn't be there. But I like
that that, you know, first boyfriend, he like tricks the kid to
get in there, right, so like, oh shit, what's gonna happen
now you know? And then he gets a baseball at now you know.
I don't know the fact, I guess right the gun came in, but
I still feel like he was pretty weak against those two kids. I'm just
gonna throw that out there, like he was a five year older gentleman.
He should have been fucking punting these kids, but alas he did not.
But he was quick on his feet to pee and get the kid out of
there and stuff. So, and I think that's the best part about this
too, that there's certain things where you go why would a character like the
bad guys walk out or not catch just but because they are dumb kids,
you kind of get a lot of free range to do a lot of that
stuff, right, So why wouldn't the kids think that? Why would they
think this adult almost adult male would just pee randomly? He says, I
gotta go pee, and then he just peas no one does that, but
like a one or two year old, right, like that's not a thing.
But them being a kid, they don't. They don't think that.
They just think this guy's scared, no, and I'm gonna leave for a
bit, you know. Or even with our main character, he doesn't really
think his best friend's gonna turn on him. So when he's like out there
messing with a daker, which that was one that I I wish there was
another way to get into the room. I didn't need daker added in there.
I thought that's where for me it's like, Okay, the movie is
going a little long for me. So when Kirklan was like an up for
you, it is like a down for me, Like, okay, I
or we're getting along on the two with you already. I got the concepts
where it is. But I think they do it a good job of still
Okay, he's a clever kid, but there's still kids and they can still
be outsmarted a little bit, even though they had the copious amount of weapons
between a fake gun and bats and this that thing that fake killed the other
kid. So very hancul too. Kevin mccawster, Yeah, I got so
excited though when uh yeah, when Daker was just in the car and he's
just like he's wearing like the funny outfit, I'm like, man, he's
gonna be this asshole. Like it's like we're getting Billy again from Stranger Things.
So I I really got excited for just what was gonna come. But
man, what a misuse of that actor, Like why even have him in
this movie? It really is nothing that you get from it, Like you
don't even need that X to come. I like, I don't think it
brings anything into the movie. You just have to you're the because I thought
about this too, and then I'm like, Okay, the reason is they
need Luke out of the house because they that's they need the friend and her
together. I still think there's some other way you could do it, but
that's the reason is you need them to talk. But it doesn't even matter
that much because like he just make a little washingroom, because what happens when
Luke comes in shoots the kid kills him right away, and then just kills
her right So it's not like there was this big chase scene set up like
car his friend making a baby face turn doesn't change anything in the movie.
Everything still goes to shit. So that's why I still rack my brain,
go, I you could just chop that. It's not a big thing,
but it's a little thing where I guess maybe they just want the kid to
maybe have another victim to like it make a more evil that he kills this
guy with a how does he hang him again? He say something contraptions,
hecase he's attractor right on the one side, right of course. Yeah,
yeah, I mean I guess I feel like that sequence need to happen.
So there was some believability that they're that he could pull off this whole thing
and there would be like a logical motive for who came to the house and
performed all these killings. Like I guess he didn't really have a way for
that to make sense with the current boyfriend, so he needed to bring in
this this previous guy. So maybe that was the reason for it. But
yeah, pacing wise, I don't I didn't really have I guess the same
issues that you guys did with h with that sequence of it got the nice
home alone reference. They didn't again, they had that three million budget.
You don't get to see the face of the guy. But very PG.
Thirteen vibes with some of the action stuff, and that was the one that
stood out the most. Yeah, so I thought we might see it.
But fun, little fun, little moment against same thing, Like it's you
know, there's little stuff when he throws the paint inn and you know the
girl doesn't really react like you could you could try to. It's it's fun
because we all think about that, like, man, if he threw a
brick at Marv's head, like that's not what would happen. He would just
straight up die. And so I like that they kind of joked in that
way, was like, oh, you said that he would just knock him
back, like it wouldn't do anything wrong, but it just snaps his neck.
Who who's winning, Kevin McAllister or Luke Kevin? Kevin? Luke's more
emotional. Oh yeah, yeah. Luke's got a gun though, like multiple
guns. So did some of the web bandits, but they didn't have Oh
right, I guess they had number two gun number two they had. They
had the gun because they can't fire it because he's slipped like it's it's tough
because aving they Kevin wins and this guy still loses, right because he couldn't
even confirm his kill. With the girl, she was very and I did
like that very clever way she They even said, oh she's such a smart
girl, but that was smart. That the whole movie she's working on that
tape and she does keep the tape to put over her throat, and I
do think that's really good. I like the ending of her command was just
that middle finger and he's like, well, like, we should go to
the hospital. I'm really worried about So I just pictured him in the hospital
like scrambling around and fucking try and kill her, but yeah, pulling the
plug on the life support, you know exactly, But like he didn't get
away with it. Where Kevin his parents twice? That's the thing, Like
the ending is not declared of one way or the other. No, there's
a there's even like a mini post credit scene right where he's like, let's
go to the hospital. Yeah said that, Yeah there, Yeah, I
was listening to you. I was waiting for you to finish tik, Like
there's there's there's no way we can say that the plan was foiled at the
end, right because she's there. All she has to do is take off
that mask, say yeah that kill So she's like so fucked up. She
could write it down, she write yeah, exactly, write down that kids
fucked There's no way. Fact that she did. The middle finger implies like
she knows, she's yeah, it'd be different if she was just in the
hospital, like like on the gurny, like oh fuck, what state.
But the fact that she is the mind to middle fingers like her her mind
is constantly working out the second go to the hospital. Let's say that takes
ten minutes and then they show up. Because they do go to the hospital,
the mom takes them there, like she could be gone within a half
an hour gone, where Like she could be at the hospital and he could
go there and finish her off. However, no cops would be all over
her in that situation. They would be they would be interviewing her if she
was awake and stuff like. I don't think she can talk. I think
the knife to the throat isn't that. That's fine. But they if they
have a surviving victim from this house attack, they're gonna send police to the
hospital. They're not just gonna have her be chilling there. I really like,
I don't think their first instinct is gonna be, hey, can you
write down what happened here? I think she might be she might be like
pen paper, like if I was attacked by this little kid. I think
with just the middle finger to me is like her mind's already working. That's
where I think it would have been better. I in my mind, it's
okay, he's fucked. He's gonna go to a little juviie or whatever.
But that's why I think if you want to be left, you don't do
the middle finger. But she's all she's ready to go. She like she
could request you're assuming so much here, Like she doesn't know any of the
stuff he did in the backyard really like he doesn't she doesn't know that he's
set up the ex boyfriend and whatnot. But it doesn't matter. All she
says, if she could speak, she's just like, yeah, that kid
did this. The kid stab me, And right way, they'd be like
like the second you'd say that, that's when the police will be k fuck.
There's something where even if she was they thought she might be lying or
loopy. The second if she said no, none of that happened, this
happened, the police would be all over that cave, like she'd be separated.
You can't visit right now. There's especially they're not gonna let the kid
that she said, oh, this kid killed me, even if he's family,
Oh, you could go in and visit. Like there's no fucking way
he gets in that room. There's no way he's fucked. He's in a
little juvie maybe to agree to disagree on this one. Yeah, I think
there's enough that where she probably thinks she's safe too, Like I don't know
if she's immediately like freaking out trying to get this plan uh explained out and
especially if she can't speak, so I think she uh dies in the ambulance
the way because a fucking brutal wound, especially like I was watching with she
she's like, there's no fucking way duct tape would save her in that in
that ends. Okay, Yeah that works for me. Yeah, that would
be how you would have to do the sequels. You'd have to pick up
and she'd already be dead because I don't think like because like because there's no
sequel with both of them alive, right other than him going to prison because
she's alive. It's like, well he would go to the hospital and kill
her or she would have had to die on the way. I have to
pick up like directly after like they you can't do that too, where Laurie
goes to the hospital, like just follow right after the events. Yeah,
but you can't do that. You got our protagonist, it's like seven years
older now, seven foot just five shows up. I'm a man now.
So that's how you'd have to That's how I saw your your email or the
message share about the director saying like, oh I got a great idea,
So I'm not sure what it would be, but yeah, you'd have to
have her, she'd have to die on the way or yeah, then he
did get to her, because you can't. I just don't think you could
have her actively alive and just be hanging around and stuff, and you can't
do direct Halloween too is Yeah, they're all, They're all, he's not
a wee lad anymore, you know. So Yeah, I don't really know
what you do for a sequel because I feel like that sequence of him going
to the hospital and taking her out like that takes ten minutes and then what's
the movie? There's like no connection to anything else at that point with all
the other characters. Yeah, getting off along the way. That's really like
it's a fun response, but it's like, oh, I want to do
in the subversive, But that's what it's like for me. It's like,
I guess i'd have to hear the pitch right first, and that's where it's
tough, because I don't think they'd pitch you the idea. But it's just
like this story, whether it's like myself, I think it's closed or if
Dylan, things is opened either round them, Like I don't think i'd see
a sequel like that is like satisfying, you know, Like I because like,
I like, because even if it's the sequel of them facing down again
years later, let's say he got away with it and she's alive, it's
like, I don't have much Like, I don't know, there's there's nothing.
I think, it's like a this is like perfect where it is.
It's a good circle. I you know, I think I almost would have
liked it more if she wasn't alive at the end. And that's like also
subverting another expectation. Oh yeah, there's no happening in this, Like he
just he successfully pulled it off. I think I might maybe would have liked
that a bit more because this felt a bit more, a bit more generic.
I'll say it, and then he's on to his next victim or lady
that you know, m h, it's denying them. So yeah, exactly
are you trying to say something? You look like you keep seeing you go
to the mic. There, No, no, I just thought I saw
some lips mooove. Well, I was thinking, like I mean, but
you already pretty much said it. If they were to do a sequel,
it would be I imagine he gets at a JUV, you know, time
later, ju gets out of ju time later, and he goes for her.
I don't know what the rules regulation are a Juvie, but I would
have to say, let's say Miami happens and he gets proved if he killed
three people. I don't think it doesn't matter if he's twelve. I think
he's in there for you. You like, try it as an adult in
that instance. Yeah, I think you're in there for the rest of your
life, or at least you're in like a mental home the rest of your
life. Like, there's no way, of course, that could be him.
Break that could be the right is at the sequel where he does go
to Juvie and he breaks out to try and get her, Like, that
could be it. But the same thing, I'm like, what's the subversion
there? I really don't know. They do a skip of like forty years
later they just recast it's. Yeah, some events like that Halloween movie where
they're making a documentary on it. Yeah, what else? I I there's
a couple. I like the Carol the sequence with the Carollers, just because
I think, like, man, it's so that's like some good dark comedy
there of all this crazy shit's going on inside this house and he's just out
there like he's like giving them hot chocolate, just being such a schmoozer.
I love the sequence at the end with the when he's like trying to get
the pencil to stay on the door knob but he just can't do it.
I just love the acting of that, like trying to do it like three
or four times you can't get it to work, and then he's out on
the roof, and I just love that little quick like fucking deer's when he
like kicked over the one deer. I thought that was that was pretty funny.
So I like that that sequence there, and definitely knew something like the
way that pencil thing was shot of like the mom showing her how to do
it. I was like, oh, that's that's foreshadow one on one right
there, Like this is absolutely coming back. At some point I thought what
would happened is she would this is like even before I knew that it was
like the friends setting up this this burglar thing. But I thought like someone
was gonna get knocked on the ground there and that was gonna be like how
they like fought off the bad guys like grabbed the pencil that was under the
carpet and like stabbed the bad guy or something, but it ended up not
being quite that, but they still came back in some way. Yeah.
I liked which I think he used a couple of times. I liked the
reveal of him killing the Gerbil. That was a fun time, like,
oh, he killed her Gerbil and then you know she us that again was
a psychopath murder. Yeah, and I kind of liked that they made that
kid even be a bit like he's pretty, he's pretty dumb, you know,
like that, he's just he just has the best friend who's you know,
a little off kilter, and he's still don't get me wrong, he's
definitely would be serving some time. He got blown away a shotgun, so
he's not serving any time except for the in Hell I guess that. But
yeah, he was in the there you go. I'll just say he was
in the visitor that Shyamalan moved. He was in the visit with our with
our lead. It's a female too, those kid, that's crazy. So
they worked together like within a year or two back to that's really cool because
I looked at because I was I saw her like where is she from?
And she's also placed Priscilla in and New Elvis movie like the Awesome Butler,
and I was like, I don't remember that, but I was like,
I recognized from someone the visit but same thing. I knew I recognized him
from somewhere. But oh that's cool, that's funny little connection. H Yeah,
I don't think I've seen her in any before, but yeah, I
thought that was a good I think that that that worked for me, that
plotline, because I don't know, like I guess it does. The intensity
just get ratcheted up pretty quickly, but still, like I guess you can,
you can understand how he would get strung along from one thing to another,
Like he knocks her out, they just lock her up like at this
point like nothing, Okay, it's bad, but it's like it's not horrendous
yet, like no one's been hurt physically at that point. So to me,
it works that he's getting strung along and eventually he's just seen too much
where it's like man, I can't get out of this, like I'm gonna
have to commit to it. And once again, like as you mentioned,
is it like a young teenager or something too, so obviously he's not gonna
think through it completely. So I think that that worked for me, and
added like a nice element where like she's trying to get on his good side
the whole time to break out and so add a little bit of tension there.
I think that's what I like about our main character. There's not some
big crying scene where that you don't have to do this the whole time.
It is just kind of like she's always trying to parse like realistic information of
like you're not gonna get away at this if you don't stop now, your
parents are gonna find out and you're pretty much screwed. Like she's trying to
appeal from that, like which makes sense for a child, right, Like
you're gonna get in big trouble if you don't, you know, let me
go, and all these things. And so yeah, I like some of
that stuff. And then obviously there's a lot of portion wear and fortress.
She's just kind of taped up so she doesn't have too much dialogue. And
I thought she's good enough lead for what this is. You know, I
don't think you need like a you know, a knockout actress or act or
anything like. It's a fun enough role. So she seemed like smart enough
to to like handle what she could like obviously there's not much she can do
here, just taped to a chair or whatnot. But she seemed like a
believable individual like in those scenes, not just I don't know, over the
top, yeah, like a stereotypical like victim type character might be in one
of these movies. But she she seemed like she like even when, like
you said, like when she's, uh, when she's just talking back to
Lucas, I'm not just like you don't have to do this, please let
me go, like it's all gonna be okay, like it is laying out
the more realistic side of the situation. And then like even just later on
when I can't remember I think it is actually when Garrett just gets fucking blown
away and she like doesn't even react at that point because she's just become like
so numb, like she's just like it's one part going through like shock and
trauma. But if you're just like engulfed in it for that amount of time,
like you must just like you have no reaction. It's like I'm taped
up here, it's fucking psycho. Just won't leave me alone, won't let
me out. He just killed his own friend. He killed my my boyfriend,
my ex, all all these different individuals she's going through it, and
what would like, what do you think his base plan was? Just like
once he got her tied up, like what was the what was just the
initial first plan after that? Like what do you mean at what part?
Like when uh, when we first out? No, just like what I
guess it was just he can cooc to his plan to just kill I guess
I guess she does say that right, like you were never gonna let me
go? So I guess the second he hitser ties her up, he just
knows that, Okay, I'm gonna kill her the boyfriend and maybe another person.
Yeah, I mean I think at that point that's it's already gone off
script, and like maybe he's slightly considered these options, but I think he
just envisioned the perfect world where she like falls in love with him, they
bond over this moment. Yeah right, So I feel like after he hit
her out of rage, I think that's already off script at that point,
So I think I think he's improvising. I took it like, yeah,
that was his perfect plan, she just falls in love with him, which
obviously didn't happen. So it's like, Okay, well, I'm gonna just
destroy her whole world around her, just like brings in her boyfriend, brings
in the ax to just like basically murder. Just yeah, fucking psychopath child.
Yeah's having fun with it. I wonder well, because I feel like
even just the amount of knowledge he has on the ex boyfriend and and I
guess the current boyfriend makes a bit more sense. But it feels like maybe
he's been doing some research of thinking, like, man, how could I
take this boyfriend out? Like maybe that was part of the plan for like
the months leading up to this moment or something. He's planning out this ex
boyfriend takes out this boyfriend. It's like some hairbrain scheme and like somehow that
bonds all of them together. So I don't know. I guess I said
at the top, like maybe he plan planned this, had this whole thing
planned out. But I think the more and more I think about, the
less and less that makes sense and it really is just improvising. But maybe
there were little inklings of of plans that he had just fantasized about, and
he's like I'm gonna bring it. I'm gonna bring it to life. Here
see that's more of the John Kramer, you know, the jigsaw, all
these different ole if it goes to go this route, go this route.
Yeah, he's definitely no genius. Yeah, no anything else. I don't
have much for truvia. I have like three notes because there's not much trivia
about this because they probably came it pretty hush with the whole money laundering apart.
But mm hmmm, yeah, No, I don't think I have anything
else. I don't think I got anything else either. Nope, nothing for
me. You're sure, you know, I'll just I'll stay quiet. What
was it is there somewhere? Na? What was it? Not? Really?
I just feel like, uh, I don't know. I was gonna
try and pull some positives. I did, like the little little twists where
Garrett looks like he got shot, but they like rigged up the paintball,
like the gadget aspect, which I guess you can compare it to Home alone.
Like that stuff was fun. Uh you know, this shows some of
his his mastermind techniques. And like I will say, like they did a
good job with the with the twist stuff, like when they actually had the
burglar in the house with the shotgun. That was actually just Garrett like there
was some real fun tension in those moments of like the babysitter hiding in the
laundry machine room and then the buzzer goes off, and it's just up until
that point, it's like, holy funk, like the Killer is gonna come
get them. They get like it is early on in the movie. So
maybe I was I was expecting, like I said, Santa Claus to come
out or someone some some mean one type of point there Killer movie, And
man, what type of spiders do they have? And I guess they are
in Australia, so that makes sense. But man, those spiders were,
well they're not large. They're in US, right, No, they're not
trying to break them the fourth wall. But wait in the movie they aren't.
But the mo they're filming in Australia. Maybe they grab some from the
the spider dispensary and yeah, but I guess it does like they are revealed
that they are his spiders. Right, he captures them and puts them back
in the cage, studying spiders and his mom was setting right before she died,
and what sorry, what was the dynamic again? It was the separate
marriages, right, come together, right, So their step brothers stef sister.
Is that what it was? Or was was she just a babysitter?
Her family's like moving away too. Then I definitely confused a plot point I
had at one point in my mind because I thought one point there was that
sort of here. I still thought he was old enough to to not have
a babysitter. Clearly, I asked that early on, like what age are
you still having a babysitter? It's different because, like I have a sister's
four years old than me. So I feel like that kind of took the
role babysitter. But I don't know. I maybe my parents were just immature,
didn't didn't protect their child enough. I just I don't know. I
feel like that's pretty late home alone situation, home firm. He definitely seemed
old enough to not need a babysitter for yeah. Yeah, And now we
know he did not need a babysitter. We could avoided all this that they
didn't get a babysitter. So he's got his fucking uh like his womb sounds.
I've never heard of that before. Is that actually a thing that like,
oh right, the heartbeat thing under his Yeah, it's like a feetus
mon ever known to be like a twelve year old thing. I did kind
of like the two callbacks with the parents where they she talked about the whole
story about or he told about the sort about the mum holding him and she
does it anymore, and that's when stuff was wrong. And the last shot
of the movie before the postcred scene is the mom holding him, so he
finally got that back and almost to go into the whole like how he's like,
you know, it's supposed to be just like impressiable teen and the like
the what is it? The what's flowing with you? Yeah, when you're
hormones? Yeah, that going on, But like the old his dad has
multiple lines of just being horny, like he's just talking about something like that.
So I kind of like even the babysitters like, oh you're looking good
tonight. Yeah yeah, And I liked it because it's like his dad's not
a killer, but maybe she was. His dad's also like almost inappropriate guys,
just yeah, it doesn't get the message. So between that callback and
the whole, hey, your mom's never gonna hold you again, And the
last shawl of the movie is the mum holding him. I like that,
so it was I like to when the parents are coming back at the end
of the movie and I don't remember like everything that was said, but the
mom says something like, I hope you're not talking about sex after that meal.
I'm so bloated. Yeah, got me, Uh yeah, I only
have three because of other ones. There wasn't too much exciting here. Original
titled safe Neighborhood, so that could go in your point down that maybe if
it wasn't a Christmas one, because safe neighbor that has nothing to do with
Christmas, right, So safe neighborhood despite the American I just put this in
because I was like, I don't know why, but despite the American setting,
the sets were constructed with a four oh sorry, a one point four
to four millimeter millionaires not millionaires millimeters high door handles of older Australian homes,
which American writer and director Chris Peckover called a source of distraction and frustration.
I never once issued noticed the doors. I never once had an issue at
the doors. But I guess for some reason the doors looking different he was
not a fan of because the handles were higher up. Is that what he's
saying the sets were constructed with the one point four to four m door handle
high door handles. Yes, the door hit did seem like when she was
locking the door, it was like way up here and it didn't stand out
to me a little bit. But I was somewhere in the US where there's
locks like that on a house. You know, it's like, what is
Chris saying He's been to every house in America and like, what are you
the world? Now? You know why he was complaining because they constructed these
doors and he just saw the budget keep like the three million kept being used.
No kind of grand door. Yeah. And then finally Slena Gomez was
interested in playing the role of Ashley, but offto to focus on her music
career and upcoming tour. So there was a good choice. Yes, I
would have loved to see her in this movie. That would be so cool
and I but the movie would have done better too, more people, more
eyes would have been on the mods. Chris Win and Chris Win I got
that money, You're like, no, we don't, we don't need just
le film in America. Yeah, Dal And final thoughts, No, I
don't think I have many. This is a fun time. I don't think
this will be a yearly rewatch. Well, definitely won't, but I can
see myself watching this every once in a while. It's a good time,
a nice This is what I like to see. When our patrons pick,
like there's movies I've never heard of, they always seem to pick some good
ones, even like you know, we just talked about Soccer Punch. It's
like just a very interesting movie to pick. So once again, a good
solid pick here. I'm glad, glad I watched this one. Yeah,
no, I'm about samon it up too much to say. It was fun,
good little submersion there. I enjoyed it. It's a few little cons
here and there, but yeah, i'd probably go like a seven out of
ten somewhere around there. It's one I will watch again, but nothing probably
in the near future, but it'll be maybe a couple of years ago.
Okay, Yeah, I could haven't revisited that in a bit. So yeah,
that's where I am. Kirk uh. Yeah, I I'm not gonna
say, you know, never say never, but I feel like I won't
actually revisit this movie. Who knows, though, maybe I'll rewatch it and
like it a little bit more. Now that I know what I'm getting myself
into, but I'm going to distance it a little, a little from this
viewing. I feel like, yeah, so I for ratings wise, I
feel like I understand why people like this. It's just I definitely didn't love
what was on screen for a good portion of it. Uh it's tough to
like want to fail it because it is like it is at least well made,
you know, like it looks good. I feel like the twists are
fun enough. But uh, yeah, so I think I'll just go I
think I'll just go five out of ten, just just to just to give
it a pass. But yeah, really really didn't vibe with the charisma of
the of the main the main fellow there. But yeah, I'll leave it.
I'll leave it there. It's pretty key too, you know. So
yeah, so yeah, like I said at the beginning, the the the
change over, just with that, after that initial very familiar set piece,
really had me hooked. And just how things are expediting and getting more outrageous
and flamboyantly like cock eye, just with how the things like murders are happening,
and just shit was one side with it. I was just I was
loving it. And just not being able to keep up and predict with how
things were going. Uh. Made it just a really really entertaining watch.
And I'm not probably going to go and rewatch this every single year, but
it's something I will definitely rewatch again. I would love to see a sequel
come out of this, just because I'm curious, but I'm not expecting it
to be anything great. I don't think they can really do wonders with how
it ended. I mean, I mean I said that in like a predictability
sense, because, like we already discussed, I feel like she'd just go
to all the cops whatever. It's over for him. But yeah, it's
over for him for him if I mean, if you've listened, then you
didn't watch the movie. I mean, the plot twist has already been spoilt,
so that's kind of shitty. But we warn them. They don't get
the complain now, you know. Yeah, I'm gonna give it. I'm
gonna give it a uh like an eight out of ten. I had a
really really good time watching it, and uh yeah, good stuff. There
you go, good stuff. So there you go, ladies. Gentm and
thank you very much for tuning again. Thank you to April four RecA mending
this and thinking all the patrons that put in your picks. You know,
next year, if you're picked and get in there, there's always another Christmas
and there's always another geek first Christmas retrospective. And we will be there unless
a little kid comes and kills us. But until then you'll not be boring.
Yeah hold on, I hope or someone that just listens, just the Christmas retress
