Speaker 1: And we're back. So we just had a few trailers
here and then the one mini topic in the middle
of it. So you got Skeleton Crew, that's the star
show coming out of December. You got Presence, which is
a haunted house movie, but it's from the perspective of
the ghosts this time, so it's kind of like that
in a violent nature. Yeah, that's what it is. You
got the Squid Game season two trailer. But I also
want to ask because at the end of last week
they announced that they are green Let and they're doing
the American remake with David Vncher, who directed The Killer
last year, Office seven, the Soure TV show, I think
as of right now, it's what it sounds like. And
then also Hard Eyes, which once I watched I regret
putting in there because there really wasn't much to it.
But I put it in there because I was like,
oh this.
Speaker 2: My question is why should I care about this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had like it's good producers, I'm like okay,
and then when I saw him like, oh, it's like
only a minute over. Then I'll watch like Okay, that
was sometimes Tres Missus on the trailers and I'll omit.
The hard Eyes was missed, but uh, I hope I
like it when it comes out. I'm always I like
that kill they had in the trailer too, of the
couple getting on and he makes some kiss by stabbing
a night through him. Like, Okay, if the whole movie
is like that, there could be some fun there, you know.
Speaker 3: But mm hmm ye, I'll jump in here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, presence. I didn't even like catch what the fredise
of it was, I guess, but when I was watching,
I'm like, man, this camera work is really interesting. Like
I feel like even just the whatever lens they had
on the camera, it just looks kind of weird and off.
And then they're like the angles that they're doing is
like it's always a little bit too high or a
little bit too low. It's just like a little bit off.
So I feel like they're kind of getting off this
like slightly unsettling vibe with the camera work alone. So
I really like that, like the cinematography of it. But
in terms of character or story, there was not much
in the trailer that really grabbed on me. But now
that I know that premise, I'm really into it. So
that's cool. Skeleton Crew. Nothing to add on that one
that's that's not of all the Star Wars Disney shows
that I've skipped, that would be bottom of my list
the ones I want to watch. And you know what,
it's not the audience for that, not me. It's like
for kids, I think, right, so you know, go ahead, cool.
And then Squid Game season two, I don't know. I
don't know how I feel about this one. I feel
like it's like maybe that that show was like lighting
in a bottle for like one season, and when I
was watching the trailer for this, it just felt like, okay,
with a lot of retreading the same ground, a lot
of revisiting what we've done before, and I just don't
feel like I'm gonna enjoy it as much as I
did that first one. We'll see, maybe there's a fun
twist on it, but in terms of the story of
like we're back in the game and the one guy's
back and he did it before, but then like no
one's listening to him because why would they because they
want the money too. It's like, okay, so we're just
doing the exact same thing game, which is like I know,
I'm sure a lot of people just want that. But
then you even have like the same game, so it's
not even like new games. It's like, ah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I hope that changes. I hope they're showing us the
same there's.
Speaker 2: Some new ones, right, but that's like from what I've seen, mean,
I don't it looks like a lot of retreading the
same ground. And I just don't see where the compelling
thing to that is other than like they're just doing
a cash grab on it, which seems like it's possible.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately. Yeah, I just feel like that has to be
a cliffhanger right where the whole pitch is. He knows
the games, he's played them, and one episode has to
in the cliffhanger where it room opens. He's like, I
haven't played this game before, and that's like, you know,
cut the play like because I feel like that's like,
oh shit, because that his life is back in danger, right,
because what is the the fun of It's just the exacts,
Like I think I understand the pitch they are going for.
But yeah, it is interesting.
Speaker 2: I mean, even given all my reservations there, I'm still
gonna watch it for sure, So looking forward to that
and then yeah, the remake. I'm I'm once again it's like, Okay,
we're retreating the same ground doing this again. Curious to see,
I mean, great director pick for that director, writer is
he doing?
Speaker 1: I assume I think he isn't normally right the movies
that he's directing.
Speaker 3: I don't actually know.
Speaker 1: I don't think he I think there's at times we
actually no, I think he's usually down just to do
a lot of direct up, pull up his credits. But
actually I was gonna say that, but no, I don't
think it's like a Tarantino type there where he has
to have hands.
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see who they who they would get
then as a writer for that. But I think director's
that's a really great pick. And yeah, I'm really curious
to see what they do for cast because obviously, coming
into that Squad Game season one, a lot of us,
especially here in North America, we don't know any of
these people, and that to me added a lot where
there were some really stand up performances in there, and
that was really fun and different. And so they could
go multiple directions here where they could try and go
for young up and comers no names so to speak,
or they could go for like bigger star people because
that is a huge ip now even though, but then
like you know, mister Beast is doing his ship too,
and it's like it's just a huge deal now. So yeah,
I don't know. I'm really I'm really curious to see
what goes on with that, But I I assume i'd
watch that too, Like I guess, I'm all in on
the squid game train, even if I'm have my reservations
about just kind of retreading the same ground over and
over again.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you get a bad season two and then
a bad American seae and that's when you might be Yeah,
because they have said that the original show that's going
the Korean show that's going only three seasons, they shot
him back to back and then that's the end.
Speaker 2: Throw a third third one in there even But yeah, yeah,
I'm curious. I hope that they kind of switch up
a bit, right, Like I hope we don't get just
these aame without spoiling what happens, like hear the end
of that show when you figure out more about what's
going on, you know, behind the games and stuff behind
the cameras, like I I hope some of that stuff
is different and not just like a one one remake
of what we had before, and you know, I'm sure
a lot of like hopefully a lot of the games
are different too, And it's not like, I'm sure you
want to throw a couple in there, the classics, but
hopefully we get to see some other fun, creative, freaky, weird,
saw trap level weird stuff in there as well, and
hopefully they come up with some fresh new ones with
that remake as well.
Speaker 1: He has a cinophile. I feel embarrassing for not knowing this,
but other than a couple of short films in two thousands,
he has not written a single thing. He's just a
director and producer. So he's a he's a shooter, and
obviously he has like yeah, which is interesting because he
has like a distinct style, but lots of those people
that have that styles like writer, director, like yeah.
Speaker 2: Even thinking back to The Killer last year, like man,
it must be working so closely together obviously to make
make that movie happen, but it feel like such a
cohesive vision. You just know what that movie smells like
one that's written and directed by the same person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it's just so he's just that good.
So yeah, and it's interesting too because I rewatched again
this year, but he did a movie back in the
nineties called The Game. It's with Sean Penn and Michael
Douglas and it's similar game. No, not exactly, but it
is a similar guys putting a lot of interesting situations.
But they're all in the real world. They're not in
a room like the game is or a building, but
they're in the real world and they're all this guy
signs up for an experience and it's a little more
than he could handle. So and it's it. And that's
the opposite where it's a guy that has money and
has everything and he's just looking for some jolly. So
it is kind of funny. That's a reverse of that.
And so for the trailer, I I don't know if
I wanted to know the pitch now because I kept
being like, okay, why is this guy going back? Right?
Like what can this character do? I do find there's
like some merit and like, okay, this is a good
hero story of maybe there's more too, but is he
in there literally just to try and save people? Like
that's you know, because he does tell seeing the trailer
like hey, if you keep doing this, you're all gonna die.
Obviously there's gonna be some of the themes the first one,
but I'm just wondering what the whole plot is. But
that did get me in. It remind me a lot
of you know, it ends up to be some falsehood.
But Amanda and Saw too, and she's a survivor of
the trap and you have I always like that aspect
of the I've done this before. Listen to me, and
but like I said, I do think there has to
be some curveballs thrown in there. But yeah, I'm excited
to see where they go, I think, and I was
interested as well. They may it seem like the Games
or the hosts or whatever were caught off guard by
this guy was back in. I thought they would know.
But the fact that in this trail, at least the
way the edit it made seem like they're surprises back in.
What does that mean? So they do got my curiosity.
I agree with you about the games and everything, but
as far as him being back there, like the monovation
the American one, I don't know. I feel like it's
like I kind of want them just to take the
concept and do a completely different story. You know, I
don't need the exact beats. I don't need, like, you know,
certain revelations like you were talking about with certain characters
in there. I would love it like you can hit
on some of the beats. But again back to how
he directed the game. He did The Girl the Dragon
Tattoo the American version, and it's not a one to
one adaption, but it's pretty much just here's a remake
of the Danish film with some a few things change, right,
so it might just be that. And it's also good
for Fincher because like it's kind of a layup project
where you just know people are gonna watch it, and
with the whole when they did the Whole strikes and
everything like that, there's new things on. You get certain
bonuses if you get watched by this, and it's like,
I think it's kind of like any I feel like,
even if it's bad, people are gonna tune in just
to see it. And then maybe you know, progressive seasons
after you know, scenes that predis that won't have the
same come back. But I feel that season one for
the American show has people, and especially because there's some
people that won't want to listen to those dubs or
read the subtitles like, oh yeah, finally I can watch
I watch squid Game and not have to worry about it.
But uh uh yeah, what else was there? Hard Eyes?
I talk about Crew, Skeleton Crew? Was that no presence? Yeah,
I'm I'm on the camp of I liked In a
Violent Nature. That was the movie where it falled like
what if you followed Jason Vorhees. I get why people
wouldn't like it. I get people's complaints. I think the
movie does really fall part in the third act, But
I really enjoyed that idea of Okay, let's watch this
lumbering around and it's like I have my expectations set
and that's what I got, and I still have expectations
here where I feel like it's going to be a
very very slow movie. You're gonna have to take your
time with it, and only is the one you're gonna
watch when you're tired. But I'm interested. I like seeing
Lucy lowin like a more serious role. That's always good.
So I'm very curious what they're gonna do as far
as even if if it's a haunting, like when this
thing does it possess someone? And if it does, does
that possession turned to like the first person view of
the person that possesses. I don't know, I'm very and
like the same thing. Lots of these horror movies usually
not usually, I'll say fifty percent of them, the ghost
is there. But the ghost is there because of something
bad happening, right, not because they choose to be there
and they want to haunt you. Lots of these ghost
stories are like, oh, well, this really happened this guy,
and you know he was possessed and he kills his family.
Like I think that's what I'm interested is taking this
what we would appear on the outside of like a
ghost or whatever, some demonic thing and it being scary.
But if you make it from the point of view
from the ghosts, I actually think you could make it
like a tragic story and that idea that you've been
locked up here forever. There's a there's a good movie
that I don't think it hits on all the beats,
but it's just called Ghost and it's with Rouney Mara
and God, what is Ben Affleck's brother name? Casey Affleck?
Where he he die? And he just haunts the house
but he can't really interact, so he's just stuck in
this house for like decades and decades, and he sees
his like his wife gets a new boyfriend and she
gets pregnant by him, and then he moves out and
it's a new family, another family. Like it's just like
an idea of Okay, what would happen if you were
stuck here? So I think there's something interesting of like
if you could make the ghost like not scary, like
trying to like you're trying, they're trying to get freed.
So I'm very excited by this one. I don't think
i'd see in the theater because I definitely think this
could be one that could be like, fuck, that was
a tough watch and not fun. So I think this
is definitely a home one for me. And then finally
Skeleton Crew super disappointed by because I was digging the
trailers they show before. But what I hated about this
is it felt very much like they're try to make
Guardians of Galaxy, and that, to me is not what
I want Star Wars to be. I like Guardian's Galaxy
being hey, there's a little Star Wars in here, but
we got a big spin on it. I don't want
Star Wars doing that, even though like some people might
think it's cute. I don't like them using a song
from our generally our music, but then like having it
sung in like Star Wars lyrics, like it's like some
alien language, but it's a song. I came what the
song was, but it's a song that is a pop
called a pop hit song. So for me, I don't
like that. I didn't like what they didn't actolyte. So
for me, this trailer actually unsold me. I'll watch it
because I think the girls hopefully will enjoy this. I
think they could be fun. There's some of these kid
actors looking charismatic, and Jude long Leaseley has some fun.
But for me, there was something more I don't know,
innocent about that first full trailer. There was something where
it just felt like what people compare it to, like
an ET, and I liked that vibe where this was
more like the Swashby, like oh man, we're new it now,
and then it's like big effects and explosion and a
pop song. It's like like not saying it's gonna be
borer Lands, but it felt like that would say, Okay,
I get what you're going for. You guys are worried.
No one's gonna watch the show, So I'm hoping the
trailer trailer won it's more of the show and this
was just a bad trade. The show's more like this,
I'll be less sold. But uh yeah, there you goes
like that's the best way to describe Ghost Story the
movie with a ten minute pie eating scene. Yeah, that's
what happens when you're a ghost. It's a tough watch,
but I enjoy it. But Taylor Ennis off your thoughts
on these trailers?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, Uh, well, which want to start with? I'll
go with Presidence. Presidence, I remember I was talking about this,
and I'm really looking forward to it. Just the fact that, yeah,
it's the perspective of this entity and just how much
fun you can have with that, Like it almost feels
like you're a stalker, I guess, which you pretty much
are as you're this entity, because just you're experiencing things
through the spirit's eyes, and so whether this thing has
possession going on in this movie or whatnot, or just
you have multiple families moveing, like you guys already talked about.
There's a lot of interesting outcomes that they can really
tackle with this, and so I'm looking forward to it
because I don't think I've seen anything like this. It
just reminds me of something like a hardcore Henry. I
get very different tone and very different atmosphere and from surprivaty.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you haven't checked out A Violent Year yet
because you're big Rid thirteenth guy.
Speaker 3: So violent Year?
Speaker 1: Is that the violent nature story? No violence? And long?
Speaker 3: Yeah, didn't he play what was that one where he's
the candy king killer or the mayor of the town
during Christmas All?
Speaker 1: That's like, that's like a Christmas movie with it. I
can't remember what it is, but it's a play on that. No,
in a violent nature, In a violent nature, that's the
pov from like a Jacon Borie type of character.
Speaker 3: Right, very right. I need to watch that one. That
is on my list. Yeah, I gotta get around to
that one. Oh what else do we got? Yeah? Squid
Game season two. I remember everyone talking about season one
and I thought, you know what, I'm gonna dip my
toes in and let's see what's going on. And I
finished it in a day. I thought, holy fuck. I
kept trying to stop myself, but the show was so awesome.
I loved it. I love the story. So I'm really
excited to get back into that world. I'll probably try
and rewatch the first season Madison ever saw it. I
ended up just binging it on my own. So I'll
see if maybe I can get her on board this
time to give it a go. Because yeah, that that
show is, it's great. I can't wait. What else do
we have? Yeah, hard eyes that that scene in the
back of that van was just a curveball that was
just not expecting that. That's quite a death, A wonderfuonderful. Yes,
that's the one.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so then Skeleton Crew, the trailer thing that
use the song that you said that they was like
our music, but then re dubbed in that like kind
of like Star Wars e vibe. I actually really liked it.
And it's weird because like it doesn't necessarily feel like
Star Wars. It feels very much like its own thing.
And that's where it'll be difficult to remind myself, like, hey,
this is the same universe, Like Luke Skywalker is like
buzzing around right now, Palpatines out on Exico right now,
just like rejuvenating, and Snoke is moving around like Kyle Yeah,
that's right. There's so many factors going on during this
time that's just weird and peculiar. But I kind of
like that there. I I I commend them for trying
to do something very very different with this, and I
think that we'll see if it pays off, or we'll
see if maybe it doesn't pay off. Who knows. But
it definitely has that that goony's kind of vibe to it,
and that's owning up to maybe stranger things, a goony
stranger things, which is funny, a stranger thing y. Yeah,
dropped a trailer too.
Speaker 1: Well, Yeah, just the titles. That's why I didn't put
in here. But yeah, it's like that's what I was hoping.
It was more goonies and stranger things. But I just
feel like it wasn't as serious as trailer. Again, I'm
hoping they just cut it that way. But yeah, I
don't know how this is gonna do. Luckily, like Agatha
end up doing well and found an audience and it
kept like growing in the ratings it did, becoming a
massive hit, So maybe this will happen. But I just wonder,
after Acolyte, if this is the right to put out
there in the Star Wars World. I could see this
going bad, but as usual, just people just you know,
be nice. I can't actors. They're just trying to start
out here, you know, and everything.
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's there was one creature that they showed,
and maybe I'm wrong to think that it's the the
same creature, but isn't the trailer very briefly in Rogue
one there was that thing called a boguli or whatever
it was. It was like that mind reading creature. And
I'm pretty sure, I'm just like, thank through the trailer here,
I'm pretty sure that it popped up briefly boguley, but
maybe not like it looks. It looks like it could
be something different, but it's similar. It has like long
tentacles and whatnot. It was a thing that like latched
onto the pilot and what's his name? Lies what's his name?
Tommy Chilvis helped me out here? Deceptions? What's his name? Sagerera?
Speaker 1: Oh? Why am I forgetting his name?
Speaker 3: Not to like frost? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Cross twit? Yeah, because actually it's a forest, thank you.
Speaker 3: That's when he's like bolgally like, and then the creature
comes out and it's not going back no.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I think I think. I think when you
try to invoke rogue one, you got two of the
worst people here to try and invoke that way.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I've shut that out of my brain, deleted it.
Speaker 3: It's hard on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wealtley, Jevin, we have done it. I don't think
is there anything I'd add? Anything we missed nothing?
Speaker 3: Take me home, Thank you home.
Speaker 1: Waltley, Joe, and we will be back next week with
there will be no the newscast because they have d
twenty three Brazil happened this week. They got panels for Disney,
Marvel and Star Wars, so we should be.
Speaker 2: Twenty three Canada. Hopefully, where's our Dick toy three Canada?
Speaker 1: Come on? But you know it's just gonna be in Toronto.
You know, it's not like, at least good for Brazil.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, where's ours?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah? But yeah, so hopefully we get some news there.
Until then, don't love to be warm, Bye bye
