00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: But yes, we are here reviewing weapons, and yeah, it's

17
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:44,719
it's interesting because we has been an anticipated one. I

18
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:46,920
think for us kind of just snuck up on me

19
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,719
because I think we've just been so busy with getting

20
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:52,560
ready for this and we just had lots of cast

21
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,000
and reviews and newscasts, so it's been kind of snuck

22
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:57,240
up on me here. But yeah, if you're interested at all.

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,799
Two you can go back. I think it was just yeah, no,

24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,359
I think it was.

25
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:01,759
Speaker 2: Just you and me right that did Barbarian.

26
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't think we talked about for Golden Geeks, but

27
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,120
I don't think anyone else is on that review.

28
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, you can check that out.

29
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: But yes, as usual, we're gonna give our nonsport thoughts

30
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,280
on this movie, and then we'll give a little ad

31
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,920
break and then if that we'll get into full spoil.

32
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: So if you've not seen the movie.

33
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: We'll give you fair warning before we start talking about

34
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,159
the nitty gritty and everything and yeah, everything he knows

35
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,920
down below. But Taylor Field, obviously you were a massive

36
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,840
fan of Barbarian win your favorite movies that year? What

37
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:32,480
did you think of Zach Gregor's follow up as Sophomore

38
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:33,560
Slump Sophomore Victory?

39
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: Who knows? But what did you think of him coming

40
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,239
back and doing weapons.

41
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: I going into this movie was I don't want to

42
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,680
say apprehensive, but I was uncertain. I wasn't sure how

43
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:48,000
I was gonna like it, because yeah, for me, Barbarian

44
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:52,280
was just fantastic. It's fantastic, and I don't know how

45
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:56,680
a movie like that could really be topped. So getting

46
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,799
into this, I thought like the idea behind it maybe

47
00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:05,159
wasn't really gonna with Barbarian. That story, I feel like

48
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:06,799
I could really drive with it because I feel like,

49
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:09,199
in a sense, it was written for a person like

50
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,919
me that enjoys that specific style of his zaniness and

51
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,000
craziness and horror.

52
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: So it really worked.

53
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:16,879
Speaker 3: And then this, I wasn't sure based on the trailers.

54
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,319
Watching it completely blew my mind. When I put it

55
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:23,719
above Barbarian, I don't think I would it, but it's

56
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:27,639
just below by a smidge because I really like the

57
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,560
experience of Barbarian not knowing what to anticipate, being in

58
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:32,759
that that theater.

59
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: So with this though and seeing it, I want to

60
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:35,919
watch this again.

61
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,319
Speaker 3: I walked out of the theater like I wasn't jumping

62
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:40,639
and like freaking out, but I was.

63
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: My heart rate was alevated street running the streets, b

64
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:47,840
Ma Carya. It was just wow.

65
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,879
Speaker 3: There was there was a lot going on here, but

66
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,599
at its Court is very simple and I loved how

67
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,680
everything kind of just comes together and it's just like, wow,

68
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:59,520
this is just absolutely wild. What a wild story, and

69
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,360
the yeah, this is the theme that they were tackling

70
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,319
and then executing it as.

71
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: A horror film. Really really worked for me, and like

72
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:11,039
I said, I really really liked it. I think everyone

73
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:11,879
really came up.

74
00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:15,439
Speaker 3: To bat and by the time you get by the

75
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:17,199
time you get to the point where okay, some serious

76
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,080
shit is going down, I thought I was kind of

77
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,080
figuring it out what was happening, but you still don't

78
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,039
know any like the origin of what's going on. But

79
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,599
then once you get into like that third act, it's like,

80
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,719
this is freaky. There are certain characters that I feel

81
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:31,240
like I know, I know these people in real life,

82
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,759
which made it really even more freaky. There's lady Yes actually,

83
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:42,159
which is it freaks me the fuck out. Yeah, really

84
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:44,400
really freaks me out. But yeah, there's her, There's a guy,

85
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:45,039
and there's a.

86
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: Couple other uh individuals, but I'm.

87
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: Not gonna point names or point fingers name whatever. But anyways,

88
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:54,199
it was just, yeah, very freaky movie, and I'm really

89
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:58,000
looking forward to watching it again because it's just absolutely wild.

90
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:02,240
And I'm gonna be recommending this movie to.

91
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: Everyone that I see.

92
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:04,879
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm so so I hope that this guy

93
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:08,400
pops off with another horror movie after this and keeps going.

94
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: You know what, He's doing next. We already know I forgot,

95
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,719
oh he's and then he's trying to pitch that DC film.

96
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Mostly we'll talk about the newscast later this week because

97
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,439
he's he keeps bringing up that Joker Harley Henchman movie,

98
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,480
so we'll see what happens there. But yeah, we got

99
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,199
Reds and Evil coming next from him.

100
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:27,319
Speaker 2: So uh yeah.

101
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: So I'm somebody that I enjoy I remember Barbarian came out.

102
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,680
I enjoyed it, but the problem was I feel like

103
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,639
he got overhyped for me. But at the same time,

104
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,000
there's tons of people like Kirkland likes a lot like you,

105
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:40,120
and I can see why, right, But I just didn't

106
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,360
enjoy it as much as other people I wore. I

107
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:44,160
rewatched it this week, and I did enjoy it more

108
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:46,439
than the first time, not to the same points like oh,

109
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,000
I'm locked in like the rest of us be like No,

110
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,199
I enjoy it, but then there's some issues I have

111
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,879
with it. And that's pretty much how I feel about this.

112
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,480
Like what you said of what I prefer it, I

113
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:01,480
think I prefer this movie, but I think it's like

114
00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:04,279
a tie because I think Barbarian does some things better

115
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:07,000
and then has some weak points that this movie doesn't

116
00:05:07,079 --> 00:05:09,439
and vice versa. There's some stuff like I don't think

117
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:12,480
in Barbarian for the most part, I was ever really

118
00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:14,639
scared or too creeped out. It's more like a disturbing

119
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,639
thing when some stuffs revealed where this there's some creepy,

120
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,800
creepy stuff in here where kind of like, you know,

121
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,560
it's so funny because I was this was probably I'd

122
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,920
have to look at my list, but next to After Sinners,

123
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:29,759
like and next to Walson Grammer of course.

124
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: But like once I saw.

125
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,519
Speaker 1: The trailer, this was up there as one of my

126
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800
most It was up there probably my most anticipate movie.

127
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: Of the year. It was exactly like Long Legs. And

128
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:38,759
I felt the same way as Long Legs.

129
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: As far as acts one, act two are fantastic and

130
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:44,920
Act three is not bad, it's just different. And it's

131
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,480
one of these things where it's a great big mystery

132
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,680
that they've presented to you here in weapons and like

133
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:54,879
there was the answer you're gonna get there's no that's.

134
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,319
Speaker 2: Why I'll hear you in the spoils and like, oh

135
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:57,120
I almost figure it out.

136
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: To me, it's like there's no figuring out because it's

137
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,839
so original, and that's what I'll say as a reverse,

138
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,600
as a pausitive. That's why I'm still gonna rate this

139
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,079
relatively high. I'd still recommend this to a bunch of

140
00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:08,639
people because I think one like that third act could

141
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,079
land for other people as well, more than me. But

142
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:14,959
the thing is, there's so like, if you're anybody and

143
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,360
we've talked about this before, but if there's anybody out

144
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:19,920
there that does the well, they don't make original films anymore.

145
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,720
This is it right here. Maybe Whor is not your genre,

146
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,920
so I get it, but if you don't care about.

147
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:26,959
Speaker 2: Genre, this is very original.

148
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some inspirations from different arts and works

149
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,720
that Greer would have.

150
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:32,079
Speaker 2: Took from it.

151
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: But to me, the concept and the idea and even

152
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,959
so the like the structure of the film that's not

153
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:41,600
you know, like mynors spoilers, but like you just watched

154
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:45,000
pulp fiction tonight, Like it's that type of thing where

155
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,600
it's a you know, like I said, my spoils, it's

156
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,720
not chronological, but so there's a few points of that,

157
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:54,399
but the actual story and the you know, revelations, those

158
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:57,120
are very original, and I think there's some great creepy

159
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,399
moments in here. I think there is some of that

160
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:01,720
stuff where it's like, man, what is going on? So

161
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,040
that's a fun thrill ride. I recommend that, and I

162
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:07,120
recommend everyone seeing this. But that's where I still think

163
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,959
that the Unfortunately for me, the third act didn't reach

164
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,360
the heights like the revelation and then even the stuff

165
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,519
that happens after the fact and then above that, because

166
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:17,279
that's where I think it is very similar Long Legs.

167
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:20,519
I think I do like Long Legs more than this

168
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,279
because there's just different aspects and that that hit with me,

169
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:25,519
and I think i'd like that. Wore another watch where

170
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,040
I'm excited to watch this again, but Long Legs, I

171
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,759
was like, oh, I really need to watch again to

172
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:31,199
just feel like I get and see what I missed.

173
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:33,560
Where this is like okay, I see what they're going

174
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,360
for and it's you know, it's to me.

175
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: It reminds me of like.

176
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,759
Speaker 1: If you have like anthology whrrors or like goosebumps, where

177
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,519
it's like sometimes the the reveal is gonna work for

178
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:43,199
you and sometimes not.

179
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: It's not that it didn't work for me, it's like

180
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:46,240
oh okay.

181
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: But there wasn't more deep dived into it and then

182
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:50,519
so putting that aside.

183
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:53,079
Speaker 2: I think the other thing is the pacing.

184
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,399
Speaker 1: At times I think its structure is really good, but

185
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:58,240
then other times it slows it down. I think the

186
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:02,079
issue is there's i'll just say one character in particular,

187
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,519
and other character developments that maybe didn't need to happen

188
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:08,759
because they didn't really lead anywhere, they didn't add much

189
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,879
more to the story.

190
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:12,839
Speaker 2: I will say though, that I love the roll decks.

191
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say everybody, because there's certain people that

192
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,600
I didn't think were in the movie, but then I

193
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,000
saw like an hdmage, like they must be in a trailer.

194
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,240
I'll just say the roll decks of people that Zach

195
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:25,399
is using are like majority Travis actors. And that's my

196
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,439
last one I'm saying to nonspoilers is the performances are

197
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,199
all top tier. I've been since this podcast start, I've

198
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:33,639
been talking about Julie Gardner because Julie Gardner one.

199
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,519
Speaker 2: Of my fair actresses.

200
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,039
Speaker 1: I saw her when she was like, I don't know,

201
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:40,080
like super young on The Americans, and that's where it's like, Okay,

202
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,360
she's a kid actress and she or like you know,

203
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,919
young adult whatever, and she's this good.

204
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,159
Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, she's gonna be the Beast andies and

205
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:46,799
what a great year.

206
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: I liked Wolfman a lot more than other people, like

207
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,519
you did, Taylor. I think she's great at Silver Surfer,

208
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:53,480
even though it's a reduced role. But Julie Gardner is

209
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:56,759
like I like, I don't know its like overall, but

210
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:59,480
at least for actresses top ten, and I think she

211
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:02,080
does phenom on here. Brolan I was a little down

212
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,840
on when he got cast because it was supposed to

213
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,639
be Pedro, and then I went to Brolin. I was like, oh,

214
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,919
you know, like we prefer Pedro. Broland's fantastic in here.

215
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:10,200
It's great to see him do something a little bit

216
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,399
different than like the hard nos like I'm I'm Josh Brolin.

217
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,120
I'm a badass type of thing, like he's been doing

218
00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:16,759
that for a bit, even if it's like with a heart.

219
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,159
And then there's other people talk about later on in

220
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:21,919
spoilers or even stuff like all in the Aaron Reich

221
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,279
you know again not a great han soul. This is

222
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:27,759
why to me, it's like air to Johnson, this fair

223
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:32,519
game when he plays like weird characters, even in an Ironheart.

224
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:34,919
I like him there when he plays these type of characters,

225
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,200
this is where he thrives. He's not a Airtage or

226
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,279
he's like a Tayo Johnson. He's not a leading man

227
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,000
per se. He's a phenomenal supporting character or a leading man,

228
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:45,559
but a weird kookie.

229
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:45,879
Speaker 2: Type of character.

230
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: So uh No, I thought this was still like a

231
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,960
like a I'll say this a very good movie, but

232
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:54,759
great moments and great.

233
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: Concepts in it. Like I said, I.

234
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: Enjoyed a lot of it, very original, some great show here,

235
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,159
good score that I'll definitely talk about when we come

236
00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,360
to going geeks and performances. So yeah, I was glad

237
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,519
I watched US, but at the same time, it did

238
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,399
not reach my expectations. It's nowhere up there with like

239
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,639
Sinners or twenty eight years later. Like I it wasn't

240
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,200
even like close or like wals grom at Life at Chuck,

241
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:18,480
Like there's quite a few movies i'd put above, and

242
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:21,039
I was a little disappointed by that. But I'm hoping

243
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,799
the next time I see Zach Craiker's work, I'm not

244
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,559
gonna be like a little letdown. Because I was with

245
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,879
Barbarian and I was with this, but there's still very

246
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,320
good original movies that say definitely go out and see

247
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,080
and support, and they I think are a thrill ride

248
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,600
because they're gonna take you on a journey that you

249
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,240
won't know you're what you're on for.

250
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: So anything else non spoils to talk about too, I think.

251
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,399
Speaker 1: So all right, ladim And so if you've not seen

252
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:44,279
this movie, we're gonna take our first ad break and

253
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,360
then we're back. We're gonna get into full spoiler, so

254
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,679
you won't be safe, so we will be right back.

255
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: And we are back.

256
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: So that's something I want to get more into, but

257
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,440
like I didn't want to go too full spoilers. So, Tara,

258
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,080
how did you feel about the non chronological You know,

259
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,480
we start with oh.

260
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: God, what was our main character's name? It's yeah, Justine.

261
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: We start with her and it's just like the trailers,

262
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,159
you know, they show, Okay, the kids go missing, she

263
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,759
goes to school, and that's what her story pretty much is.

264
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:14,679
It's just like if you haven't seen the trailers, to

265
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,679
set up everything that's missing, the kids are missing, the situation.

266
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,360
I really like the kid doing the narration at the beginning.

267
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,360
I will say, and just this is I think the

268
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:25,039
movie has stuff like this throughout, little things that docted

269
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,600
points when they and I can't remember what song was,

270
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:29,679
but when they have the kids running at nighttime. I

271
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,799
wish it was like a creepy score or something, but

272
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,799
it was like a classic rock and roll song, and

273
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:36,039
it just didn't work for me. Later on they do

274
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,039
that work better. But I remember that footage when we

275
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,799
talked about weapons and when they were releasing stuff like

276
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:43,039
just security cam black and white. Are the kids running?

277
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,279
It was like, that's some of the most horrifying stuff ever.

278
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,720
When they present in the movie, it didn't have that

279
00:11:47,759 --> 00:11:49,480
impact on me like I was hoping, and I think

280
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:52,679
it was just purely song choice. I did not enjoy

281
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:56,080
that aspect. But we get her story, and then obviously

282
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,000
something big happens, you know, she gets attacked, and then

283
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:58,559
they cut.

284
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:00,759
Speaker 2: And then they go to decks next character.

285
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:02,159
Speaker 1: What do you think about the way they told the

286
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:04,000
story as far as they kind of, you know, maybe

287
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,519
give you both.

288
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: I'd say twenty to twenty five minutes of a character, they.

289
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,879
Speaker 1: Stop and go to a chapter, and a lot of

290
00:12:08,919 --> 00:12:10,480
time that chapter starts at the very end of the

291
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,600
story or close to that, and then they catch up

292
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:14,279
with it or they stop at a different point.

293
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, what do you think about the non chronological?

294
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:16,559
Did that work?

295
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:16,919
Speaker 1: For a year?

296
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 4: It completely worked? And I mean non chronological.

297
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: I feel like it was pretty consistently pushed in the

298
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:25,960
narrative for or do you get a couple of replays

299
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:27,919
or a couple of events that are like parallel to

300
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
what Justine's story is. But I really really enjoyed it.

301
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:33,879
I liked the different chapters and there was a few

302
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,840
that were just really catching me off guard when they

303
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:42,039
throw in like James's story and whatnot his arc and

304
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,440
how that kind of parallels with everything. It's just it's

305
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,720
crazy to see how all these characters and these different

306
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,879
things kind of all connect at the end of the

307
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,440
story in a very weird way.

308
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think I think it really really worked

309
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,720
for me and HER's definitely it concludes. But she gets

310
00:12:58,759 --> 00:12:59,759
to the gas station.

311
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, she gets attacked with the vice principal, the principle.

312
00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:06,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, which that's where it's like, so for me and

313
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,000
you're you're happy with all the characters, all the stories,

314
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,200
everything like that.

315
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 4: I was there. There was maybe one other character.

316
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: I was hoping that we would have gotten an explanation

317
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:18,320
for uh.

318
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: Who was?

319
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: Oh man, God, why could I drawing a blank? Because

320
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,240
I feel like there's one more character. I wanted to

321
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,200
see some more stuff with uh.

322
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Because the cop is it the the like the sergeant

323
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,000
like all Naron reichs.

324
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: Oh it was it was his the sergeant's daughter, because

325
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,080
I wanted I thought, when we get the scene of

326
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,279
her attacking just sine, I thought we got like another

327
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,600
sequence with her or something like that.

328
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 4: But I mean it's fine, and she didn't play a

329
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:44,600
major role at the end of the story.

330
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, she's somebody I love. So she's she's an actress.

331
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,480
But she's on a podcast I listened to weekly. It's

332
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,360
called how This Movie Gets Made, and it's like, you know,

333
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:54,039
it was an inspiration we did Netflix and Field, but

334
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,240
they just talk about bad movies.

335
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's June Diane Rayfield.

336
00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: I did not know she was announced run out so

337
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:01,200
and she popped up And most of the time when

338
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,440
she does stuff, it's all like comedic stuff. I think.

339
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,039
The only thing you may saw in well, you may

340
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240
saw in two things. Once she was a disaster artists

341
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:10,320
for a couple of scenes and then two she's in

342
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Did you ever watch that?

343
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: Move? Were seth Rogan Charlie's.

344
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: There on are like political in their couple and like

345
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:17,039
they're not supposed to be dating or something like that.

346
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: It's like a comedy.

347
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, so most of her stuff that June does

348
00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:22,279
is all comedic, so it's cool to see that she

349
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:25,960
was somewhat like a dramatic comedic. But that's seen the

350
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,039
gas station that that's what I mean. That shot so

351
00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:32,519
fantastic where kids have gone missing, creepy stuff's happening. They

352
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:35,759
don't set us up because you're really you're once the

353
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,759
kids go missing, you're kind of dropped in the middle

354
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:39,720
of the story for all of right, you're playing ketchup,

355
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,559
which is a good thing. So she they set up

356
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,240
that Justine is deals with it when she's stressed out,

357
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:49,840
deals with issues via liquor, right, And they don't dive

358
00:14:49,919 --> 00:14:52,200
too much deep into that. And I think that's probably

359
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,120
another thing I I guess talking a little bit like

360
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:58,039
I feel like that's the tough thing because I feel

361
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:03,440
like there's what there's Julia Gardner, there's the cop, there's

362
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,039
the dad, there's the principal, there's the kid, and then

363
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,120
there's the Austin Abrams, the you know, the stoner guy,

364
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,600
there's the six stories. And that's the problem that you

365
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,799
don't get to dive full into them.

366
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: So you know, she has a dream problem.

367
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: We don't really go back there, but anyway, she's going

368
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,080
to this liquor store and at this point we've no

369
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:24,279
like information all of June, Dia and Rayfield's character. So

370
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,720
she justine walks, she gets out of her car. You

371
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,919
can see someone in the distance park and just b

372
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,759
lines to her and you're like, man, what's going on?

373
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,840
And they do this great thing where she goes Julie

374
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:40,519
Gardner goes in the liquor store. She's walking, June walks in,

375
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,720
and the second she starts to get closed, they have

376
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:45,799
Julia Gardner's character take a turn and it takes the

377
00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:48,200
camera away and you don't get to see her like

378
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,360
make contact with it, and it's just like she's just like,

379
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,240
you know, two three feet away from getting her and

380
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,320
you're like, oh, this is something messed up. And then

381
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,320
when you get there, it's like, Okay, it's somebody that's

382
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:58,440
you know, she had an affair with her husband and

383
00:15:58,679 --> 00:15:59,840
it's like a personal issue.

384
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: But the way that shot was fantastic.

385
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:04,799
Speaker 1: Because you didn't know what was going on, and great

386
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,600
camera work by the by the team there, and you know,

387
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:10,879
very very embarrassing situation happened to you in public.

388
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,879
Speaker 4: So oh yeah, she's just brutal.

389
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:16,559
Speaker 3: I mean, that's she's two for two for embarrassing situations

390
00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:20,240
being attacked and these public settings. Because she got long

391
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:22,200
charged at her in the liquor store or.

392
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,799
Speaker 1: The gas station, I guess I'm not going to count

393
00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:25,480
that as an a bearing situation. I think that that's

394
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,480
the worse than even though the owner.

395
00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: Was like get out of my store to get the

396
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:31,279
fight out, she's like fucking help me.

397
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I found that weird, Like I was like, I

398
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,360
almost wish they did something where they had like a

399
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,440
quick scene where they established the liquor store owner like

400
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:44,440
did not care for her, like whether he was a

401
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:46,200
parent or someone that was attached to.

402
00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Them, because it felt weird. Of it's not just this

403
00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:49,639
guy's following her.

404
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:53,519
Speaker 1: Literally ben Iguana and Josh broloncle flying in the guy's

405
00:16:53,559 --> 00:16:58,120
glass like like the freezer and it's broken. There's blood everywhere,

406
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,559
and he's like, good, I must like do nothing, which

407
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:02,519
again granted maybe there's other homeless people, but at that

408
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:04,279
point you feel like that you would phone them. But

409
00:17:04,759 --> 00:17:06,279
that was one thing that was weird for me. And

410
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,559
this is where I think I can dock at points

411
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:12,039
for character moments where I thought from the beginning because

412
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:16,759
she which again greats I love in the world, there's

413
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,000
no they're just trying to figure out there's not like

414
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,119
oh right now we think like uh, serra killer took

415
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,880
them or this, and that it's literally going with the supernatural,

416
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,200
like they're not saying supernatural, but just like these kids

417
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:27,599
are missing.

418
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: We don't know why. There's no like real.

419
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,519
Speaker 1: Because I think sometimes some movies try to they want

420
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,039
to do something supernatural, but they try to explain it

421
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,359
in a real world way and it doesn't work out,

422
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:39,720
like in a perfect sense that I thought was great.

423
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,359
That was like Nightmare on Elm Street, where you know

424
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,200
people are always dying and that's always like, oh, well

425
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,519
they killed themselves X, Y, and Z. But then you

426
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:47,200
have something like Johnny Devin the first one where he

427
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,599
gets sucked through the bed and all his blood is

428
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:50,960
shot up in the roof. It's like, well, there's no

429
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,599
real world way you could explain this to anybody. Right,

430
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:55,559
and they just go on like, oh, yeah, you could

431
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,839
kill himself. But it's like, well how did he kill?

432
00:17:57,839 --> 00:18:00,000
Like what happened here? So I liked that, just like, yeah,

433
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,400
these kids are missing. No one knows why. There's no theories,

434
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,839
there's no leads. All they have is some footage and

435
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,240
that's about it. And one kid which I think they

436
00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:09,440
left at the trailers, which I like they established that

437
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,640
one kid was left behind. So it was a classroom

438
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,559
of eighteen and that to me, it wasn't a tip off.

439
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:17,519
But it's like I was like, Okay, clearly it's something

440
00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:19,640
to do with this kid. It was like that was

441
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,359
a tough thing that you can't bear the lead there.

442
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,720
But anyways, so they're done. I think they're I think

443
00:18:24,759 --> 00:18:26,359
they said it was like two to three months. They

444
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,480
like shut down the school because it's just they don't

445
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,680
know what's going on. One month.

446
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just one month, Jesus, So they shut

447
00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:33,480
down the school. They're going back. Before they're gonna do that,

448
00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:35,359
they do like a town hall meeting.

449
00:18:35,279 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: Right, terrible idea that they're gonna put Justine up on

450
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,960
stage to talk, like what's she gonna say?

451
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: Like half the people think she might have done something

452
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:44,559
or you know that she knows more than she's letting on.

453
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: But she as far as in the story at the

454
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,200
end of the beginning, she's looked as like a complete

455
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,839
innocent character. She's flawed, but they never in the story

456
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,160
make you think at one point she's up to no good, right,

457
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,200
They don't go that route.

458
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: So she's up there, she talks and they're motherfucker and her.

459
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:01,640
They're all Matt and Bedie.

460
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: One like whisks her away, And I feel like throughout

461
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,640
the story they make it seem like Bibie Wong is

462
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,400
like a pretty good guy who even says like, hey,

463
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,319
don't do this, you could get fired. She does the

464
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,240
thing and he's like, I'm giving you one more warning.

465
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:16,440
I felt when he died, she didn't really care, like

466
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:19,079
Josh brawl there because like I know, people if they're

467
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,599
hopefully you've seen the movie, Benik Wong gets infected with

468
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,799
this like voodoo sort of thing which we'll get into.

469
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,720
He's gonna kill Julie Gardner's character.

470
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:27,319
Speaker 2: He's choking her.

471
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,559
Speaker 1: Big fight scene he's running after and great shots too

472
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,039
where he's running after the car. Just like that's happening

473
00:19:34,079 --> 00:19:37,799
to me, right, now and it he's that. I literally, ah,

474
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,839
what happened in theater when he's running the car and

475
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,920
just another car just smokes him and he's dead, and

476
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,599
of course his head's like impaled. But later on her

477
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,720
and Josh Brolin get the hospital and you know, he's like,

478
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,720
how are you Yeah, just a little scraped up, and

479
00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:53,359
she's like you, how are you think?

480
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: Oh, scraped up? Like that's crazy.

481
00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

482
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 2: I talked to him earlier. It seemed fine.

483
00:19:57,079 --> 00:19:58,839
Speaker 1: It just felt like she didn't care about him at all,

484
00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:01,640
Like there was no like it felt like they gave

485
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:03,519
to me them too many scenes.

486
00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:04,839
Speaker 2: For her to not feel shaken up at all.

487
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: Not only did he die, he also tried to murder you, Like,

488
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:09,960
I felt like he was just And I don't think

489
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,440
it was an acting choice. I think it was a

490
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,240
writing choice where they just made it seem like she

491
00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:15,680
it could have just been a random stranger they thought,

492
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,000
you know.

493
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, that's fair. I just I'll take it

494
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:23,359
as the fact that it was just a business relationship,

495
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,680
and you know, she was driving away so she didn't

496
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,640
see it happen, and she just would have been told

497
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,279
that she was dead, as opposed to where with Paul.

498
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:32,200
She actually had to shoot him, and she was much

499
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,039
more present for that experience. So but again, I think

500
00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:38,920
it's totally up to interpretation. She yeah, she seemed pretty

501
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,519
fine about it. But that whole scene just I loved

502
00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:44,880
how it cut when she was running into the grocery

503
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,519
or the gas station, and then we didn't get to

504
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:49,920
see anything else until after when we saw Yeah, Marcus's

505
00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:53,559
kind of transition with with at Gladys fuck.

506
00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, I like that a lot.

507
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: That's where we didn't get Gladys. We only got her

508
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,400
once in that dream sequence.

509
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:06,079
Speaker 4: She was in the dream sequence with Marcus.

510
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: And Julia Gardner, which I don't know why.

511
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: With Marcus and Julia Gardner.

512
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: Isn't Marcus Josh Brolin.

513
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:18,079
Speaker 3: Ah, I thought Marcus was the principle.

514
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: It's time to be it. You might be right, but

515
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,279
I will find out for sure.

516
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,079
Speaker 3: Because you're you're right, And that's where she was popping up.

517
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,920
I was trying to keep like, what the fuck is

518
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,680
the same, and I laughed out loud. I think the

519
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,599
whole theater did. When Josh Brolin wakes up from his

520
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,200
dream and he's like, what the fuck?

521
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that I got, You're right? So Beniguong was Marcus.

522
00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, Josh Brolin was Archer, but yeah that got

523
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,240
a big laugh. And the line delivery that was great

524
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,759
where he just great moment where he sees his son

525
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:43,640
sleeping in the bed and then he shines a light

526
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,279
ins the fucking ant Gladys and good jump scared.

527
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,319
Speaker 2: I think that not an issue. But my only issues

528
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,640
like between then the Gardener one.

529
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: They set her up to be kind of like a monster,

530
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,880
which like like, of course she's a monster. She's not

531
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,119
actually a monster, right, She's just like like a creepy

532
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,519
old lady and stuff.

533
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:00,519
Speaker 2: But it, uh, it worked that way.

534
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,079
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you, though, if there's one story

535
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,599
that I would have cut, what do you think it is?

536
00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:11,279
Speaker 4: One story that you would have cut? Probably James choose James,

537
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,160
he's the druggie.

538
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,559
Speaker 2: I'm forgetting. Uh No, I'm fine with that one. I'm

539
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:15,640
big Austin Abrams guy.

540
00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:17,599
Speaker 1: And you're gonna laugh when I say it that it's

541
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,000
Paul all in there in Rag's character. But hear me

542
00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:22,759
out for a second. Yeah, Austin Abrams, I did not

543
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,079
know is in this. I think I don't think I

544
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,160
could cut that. I think you could make the case

545
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,440
that it could be shortened.

546
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:31,279
Speaker 2: It depends. I like Austin Abrams, and I found that funny.

547
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,319
Speaker 1: But if I think you don't find that funny, the

548
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,559
story does go on for a little bit. I think

549
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,319
my issue was with the Paul story. They gave us

550
00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:41,960
so much backstory on Paul, like with his marriage and

551
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,960
his drinking problem and his relationship with Justine for him

552
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:47,160
just to get killed and again like she had a reaction,

553
00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:49,400
but they kind of just move on from it. I

554
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,920
think you could easily just had him in Justine's care

555
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:55,000
and story of he's an ex, he cares about her,

556
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:57,880
so later on when she sees him, you've already established

557
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,000
oh that's the cop that you know I used to

558
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,599
Dane love and have a relationship with. He cares me,

559
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:05,480
you like, even then when it's like him not responding

560
00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:07,039
to text, you could have made that they just recently

561
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:07,599
broken up.

562
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: I just felt like, and don't be actually liked that.

563
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,519
Speaker 1: Guy that played his father in law, that actor and

564
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:14,559
they had like a good you're like, oh, you know,

565
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,880
anniversary day, Like I liked the stuff in it. I

566
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,079
just thought it kind of because the problem was we

567
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,519
got Justine an Archer story, and then I believe what

568
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,279
was Paul's right or did we get Marcus's after?

569
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:30,319
Speaker 4: I think Paul came after Archer, I'm pretty sure.

570
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: So I think that was the problem where those ones,

571
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,000
I think we're really picking up the pace, and then

572
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:35,880
I think Paul with.

573
00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: What's the drug?

574
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: EUSt guy named you were James, I think back to

575
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,319
back there was like that was a longer stretch, and

576
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,759
I just feel like the emotional stuff and the character stuff,

577
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:50,039
like the stuff with his wife, the alcoholism, his you know,

578
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,599
his the sheriff being his father in law, the fact

579
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,559
that they just kind of kill him didn't matter. And

580
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,119
I guess the thing is because I can't remember there's

581
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,400
a movie we were viewed recently where they did that

582
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,319
and they killed Oh.

583
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: I think it was Sinners.

584
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,799
Speaker 1: We me and Kirkland talked about where they You know,

585
00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:08,640
that's why all these characters had these big stories, so

586
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,599
you care about them. I guess my only issue was

587
00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:12,759
I just didn't end up caring about Paul enough.

588
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: I felt like I needed more stuff.

589
00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: So I think Payson wise that slowed it down a

590
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,799
little for me that I just even though I don't

591
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:21,279
think the stuff in there was bad per se.

592
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: I think there were some great comedic stuff, and the

593
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,440
stuff with James was good.

594
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: I just felt for the overall story, maybe you could

595
00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:29,079
have even just tightened it up a little bit.

596
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was not expecting Alden to be in there,

597
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:35,519
and I like Paul's character.

598
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 4: Just I was.

599
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 3: I thought, I like that you don't really understand what's

600
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,079
going on, and then you know, it just seems like, oh,

601
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,079
Donna and this is you kind of kind of unfolds.

602
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,240
And I didn't think they had actually slept together. I

603
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,599
thought maybe he just passed out or something like that.

604
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:56,720
But they slept together for sure. But everything was just man,

605
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:58,680
it just made me cringe. When he's like, got anything

606
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,680
sharp in your pockets, Jame, I don't want to get

607
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,880
pricked her, and he's just he's his whole hand in

608
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,240
there and just the blood on his finger. It's like, oh,

609
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:08,079
my fucking God. And then I knew it was coming

610
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,160
at this point when he stabs his face with three needles,

611
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,319
like Jesus Christ.

612
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew.

613
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,319
Speaker 1: I knew it was him too, Like like the what

614
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,799
like the the tent stuff, right, that's a good and

615
00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:23,720
that's the same thing. I'm well okay, I'll circle back

616
00:25:23,759 --> 00:25:25,920
to but good jump scare.

617
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,039
Speaker 2: As far as James runs in the wood, he sees

618
00:25:28,079 --> 00:25:28,839
her waving.

619
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: Hard very penny wise, like right.

620
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: Very pennywise.

621
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, he sees that happening, and then he gets in

622
00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:36,200
his like little drug tendings and stuff, and then it's

623
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,839
ends up being And I was like, you're right, I

624
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,799
know this is all there, and right, he's gonna get

625
00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:42,519
stabbed in the fucking like I didn't think three needles

626
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:44,400
in the face. I thought there might be a hand again,

627
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,440
but like, in fact, he just got stabbed again, and

628
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,200
like you got aids, you got a hipsy.

629
00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: Like no, not that I know. So that's good what

630
00:25:50,599 --> 00:25:51,519
I was gonna ask you.

631
00:25:51,559 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: And I think it's I guess can still work because

632
00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:57,160
she's using kind of magic and you know, dark magic stuff.

633
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,960
But I guess with the reveal, I felt like that

634
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,160
moment with James and then the two dream sequences with

635
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,960
Archer and Justine, I think visually and kind of mood

636
00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:10,720
wise vice wise are done very well. But as far

637
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:13,640
as for the actual story, they never once made that

638
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,160
like why would that character be waving at James. It's

639
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,039
not like when you brought Penny Wise or Penny Wise

640
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:21,119
and get in your head and he knows he's coming

641
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,440
for you or you're coming for him. Right where that

642
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:27,960
like the glad it was Gladys right, yeah, yeah, Like

643
00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:31,119
they never pinted at that, being things like why would

644
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,160
she be stalking like even dream stalking this James guy

645
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,319
and the other two haven't like Archer and Justine still

646
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:40,960
hadn't interacted with Gladys, but I could maybe buy that

647
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,519
maybe they had seen her at school or seen something

648
00:26:44,839 --> 00:26:45,519
or even.

649
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 3: Sort of did interact with her at this point. Yes,

650
00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:53,359
sleeping and that scene was fucking freaking on.

651
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,319
Speaker 1: The rooftop on the roof when or like yeah, when

652
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,559
when Justine wakes up and she's on the roof like

653
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,359
the of the bed.

654
00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 3: That was that, but I meant, I meant, I think

655
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,720
it was before that happened, when Justine was camping on

656
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,119
the side of Alex's house in her car and you

657
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,160
just see Alex's mom being controlled by glass.

658
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 4: Walk out, yeah, freakishly and.

659
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,559
Speaker 3: Just when she stands there, viar pat driverside door and walks.

660
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 4: And they do a great job.

661
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 3: They don't show it, but you hear the door fucking open,

662
00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:25,920
And I was like, what it's gonna happen.

663
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: And when she started to cut herself or cut that

664
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,279
like the scissors as getting hereditary flashbacks when you're like

665
00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:34,319
the and you're like that's what At first I thought like, Oh,

666
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:36,039
it was this person like killing herself in her car

667
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,160
and she's gonna get pinned on it. Yeah, that whole

668
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,720
sequence that might be. That might be the best sequence

669
00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:43,079
of the movie. I know some people are gonna say

670
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,440
probably the ending with the kids, but for me because

671
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:48,160
also just the way they had her walk out of

672
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,160
that house, like she doesn't walk out like even I

673
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,000
because that's like she's like a scarecrow, you know, like

674
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,599
it's like it it was unsettling, no score, like it

675
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,920
was fantastic. So yeah, that but so like I can

676
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,400
kind of buy them, but like, how do you take

677
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,839
the dreams because they never make that a thing where

678
00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:08,799
all this character is like attacking your dreams or using

679
00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:11,160
magic that way. Especially for me, the hang up is

680
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:13,880
James because that jump scare doesn't really make sense to me.

681
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,039
Speaker 2: With her in the woods, they didn't interact.

682
00:28:16,039 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: Any thing I can think of is like maybe it's

683
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,480
just like she's targeting and it's like a foreshadow. I

684
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,279
mean that did happen after James went into the house,

685
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,559
and Gladys was probably a cognitive that he was in

686
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:32,000
there because she did send the two parents to attack him, right,

687
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,279
So yeah, there's probably I think it's maybe something along

688
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:36,759
those lines.

689
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:42,039
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, it's just something that maybe I'll wait

690
00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:44,640
in here to other people's theories and explanations. I just

691
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,240
think even the dream sequences with because I just feel like,

692
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:50,279
if you're doing the dream sequences, shouldn't there be a

693
00:28:50,279 --> 00:28:50,680
way to.

694
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: Take them out. I can even believe, like you said,

695
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,160
with Gardner, with.

696
00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:58,599
Speaker 1: Justine, Okay, I can believe that because she's she is

697
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,480
Targner where Archer, like she has no she doesn't know

698
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:04,799
that's happening at all, right, Like there's nothing at that

699
00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:08,000
other than him just being a depressed dad. There's no

700
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:11,359
he's on the mission. He hasn't interacted with Gladys yet,

701
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,440
so I feel like I need to see some stuff.

702
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,920
But that's where stuff I felt like he was kind

703
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,720
of substance over or sorry style over substance where it's like, oh,

704
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,839
we're gonna need some really cool scary stuff here, And

705
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,359
it was, But when you think about overall, it doesn't

706
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,039
really make sense to be right now. Maybe maybe it

707
00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:28,079
will down the line, but yeah, great stuff, great over

708
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,400
stuff like when uh, because we'd seen the trailer. But

709
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,200
that's why even showing the whole movie when Justine stream

710
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,640
and she goes back to school and it's just awesome there,

711
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,720
and he goes up and he has like the joker face,

712
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:39,480
like that's some creepy stuff.

713
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: Going on there, and I think that was good stuff.

714
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,079
Speaker 1: I thought there's something else I was gonna bring up here,

715
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,880
but I think I'm forgetting about it.

716
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,519
Speaker 2: So I don't know. Where do you want to go?

717
00:29:53,079 --> 00:29:53,519
Speaker 1: Oh?

718
00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: Where do we want to go? It is just like

719
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,720
the voodoo concept and ja, yeah, guardy, I liked it.

720
00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:04,759
Speaker 3: I liked it a lot, and I caught me off guard,

721
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:06,880
was not expecting it, and I thought, okay, when Aunt

722
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,640
Gladys appeared, that just freaked me out. And yeah, I

723
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,319
do know someone who is They They talk a little

724
00:30:14,359 --> 00:30:17,599
bit more voodooy than Gladys does, but they they kind

725
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:18,359
of look like her.

726
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,799
Speaker 4: It's very unstantly. I could just I could see the

727
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:23,480
person when I was looking. I am Gladys and just her.

728
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: As the story goes on and what she's dealing with

729
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,359
with Alex and just how the parents are there, and

730
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,839
I know we kind of saw it in the trailer,

731
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,079
but just this scene was just freaky when she like

732
00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:34,319
snaps her twig and then the parents start stabbing their

733
00:30:34,319 --> 00:30:37,839
face with a fork, fucking on repeat. It just was cringey,

734
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,279
uncomfortable and then her just doing her weird shit in

735
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:44,279
the house and all that, And I'm glad they explained

736
00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:46,000
a couple of things. Okay, they knew that the FBI

737
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:47,240
was coming to the house and they had to clean

738
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,319
it up and all that, and.

739
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Then yes, because right away I was like so many

740
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:56,440
movie which I think Barbarian. I think Gregor does a

741
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,279
good job of always trying to cover his tracks that

742
00:30:58,359 --> 00:31:00,920
I remember Barbarian, which I still had some issues right

743
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,839
that she like goes back in the house and they

744
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,000
make it where she's like the cops thing she's homeless, right,

745
00:31:06,039 --> 00:31:07,319
so it's like that's why they don't help her. But

746
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:10,359
I felt like there's more way, Like there's like, say

747
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,599
something else happened, go to a different state, Like I

748
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,559
felt like there was greater things you could do there.

749
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:18,839
But I understood whatever situation reduced very quicker. But I

750
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,400
like they tried same thing here when it's like they're

751
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,200
coming over and I'm like, Okay, how can I believe

752
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,200
that one they're not gonna see? And I still question

753
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:29,200
the parents a little bit when like, oh yeah they

754
00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:31,519
she's like, oh he just has a because they show

755
00:31:31,559 --> 00:31:33,480
the dad like, oh he just had a stroke recently.

756
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:35,039
So it's like, well, what do they say about the

757
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:36,799
mom then, because we didn't see the mom. So it's

758
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:39,440
like that would feel all that both the parents are

759
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,799
like in a Comato's type of state.

760
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: So again that to me, I think it was a

761
00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:43,039
little loose.

762
00:31:43,119 --> 00:31:45,359
Speaker 1: But the kids thing I appreciate because because I'm like,

763
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,680
how do they not fucking check the basement? If this

764
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:51,160
is a situation doesn't matter if you if you if

765
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,640
all the kids went missing and your kid didn't and

766
00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,880
you know there's no proof of why this happened, I

767
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:58,279
don't care.

768
00:31:58,359 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: Your whole fucking house is getting checked.

769
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,799
Speaker 1: So I appreciate though that she they showed that she

770
00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:04,240
took the vote voodoo and made the kids like go

771
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:06,839
hide somewhere else, like in the woods or something, and

772
00:32:06,839 --> 00:32:09,480
then come back. So I do appreciate that he does

773
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,759
always try, even if it doesn't always work. For me,

774
00:32:11,839 --> 00:32:13,759
or it might be a little loose that he tries

775
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:16,240
to give a reason in world wide they haven't been

776
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,200
discovered by the police because, like both of his movies

777
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,000
are said in present day, right, it's so hard to

778
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:24,279
do that now where there's cameras and social media, like.

779
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,039
Speaker 2: It's hard to cover up with that stuff.

780
00:32:27,319 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: So I appreciate where there's many horror movies that don't

781
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,039
they don't care, They would never explain that and they're like, oh, yeah,

782
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:34,039
they just didn't figure it out, because it is like

783
00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:36,920
a big leap because like I said, like I think

784
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,799
they do a good job of setting the stakes of

785
00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:42,400
this town is really mad and really damaged from.

786
00:32:42,119 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: Just like it's not like a kid's dying. They're just missing.

787
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,880
They have no answers, right, And that's where I love that.

788
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:49,839
Speaker 1: I love that scene with Archer where he's with the

789
00:32:50,079 --> 00:32:52,359
like the sheriff and he's just like pissed off and

790
00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:54,279
he's talking about all these theories and everything about like

791
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:55,119
how the teacher.

792
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: Knows some muscle does something, and it's just like, I

793
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:57,400
don't know if.

794
00:32:57,279 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: You want me to tell you, Like we have footage

795
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,200
of a bunch of Caid's running on their own like

796
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,559
and he's like, what do you like? And obviously the

797
00:33:03,599 --> 00:33:08,279
reveal is something u supernatural, but to that person, it's like,

798
00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:09,079
what do you want?

799
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: Like how can I rest that woman? You know? We

800
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,400
have no idea, so mm hmmmm hmm.

801
00:33:14,319 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I I think it really really worked with me,

802
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:20,119
and everything was with Gladys and yeah, just that whole

803
00:33:20,119 --> 00:33:22,599
conversation that he was having with Archer.

804
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 4: And the sheriff, just like, oh, it doesn't make any

805
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,160
sense what's going on?

806
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: And just it's I like how Archer kind of got

807
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,839
really crafty with it and just kind of like figure

808
00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:35,039
out the trajectory and everything going on. And at this

809
00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:39,160
point I was convinced that it was zombies. And then

810
00:33:39,319 --> 00:33:41,440
when we get to the point where Archer's looking into

811
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,720
it now and that, yeah, just because of seeing Wang

812
00:33:43,759 --> 00:33:46,640
and the trailer and just seeing him his look and everything,

813
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,480
I thought, Okay, so.

814
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,519
Speaker 1: Why are you thinking? Why are you thinking zombies? For

815
00:33:49,559 --> 00:33:51,480
the kids? Initially running away.

816
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: Because I thought even with the name weapons, it was

817
00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:57,920
gonna be some secret weaponize drug or something. I don't know,

818
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,000
I'm not sure even when I thought it was like

819
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:02,640
a paranormal zombie kind of thing, because I remember in

820
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,720
the trailer they showed the salt, the line of salts

821
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,519
and like the crossing of it, but they didn't show

822
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:08,800
really the parents and obviously what was going on in

823
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,599
that context.

824
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 4: So it's hard to kind of keep up with that

825
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,320
in the trailer sense.

826
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 3: But at this point, now, that's when I thought, Okay,

827
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,840
there's something else going on here, and Archer obviously digs

828
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,159
more into it. And I love when Justin Long appears

829
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,039
there and the wife's standing in the side of the

830
00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:26,840
hall just super pissed at him.

831
00:34:27,079 --> 00:34:29,159
Speaker 1: Sarah Packson, you know she was big in our age,

832
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,480
remember achelm Marine. You know she's in a bunch of

833
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,280
those type of stuff.

834
00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh your looker up.

835
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 4: She familiar? Yeh familiar.

836
00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:37,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but no, Justin Long.

837
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,079
Speaker 1: That's another one where it's like I got Austin Abrams,

838
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:41,920
got June Day and Marine Phiel, I got Julie Gardner,

839
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,199
and then just because he was such a delight in Barbarian.

840
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,480
Oh yeah, it sucks. That sucks. Like it's good that

841
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:50,519
he's in there. I wish he was in something bigger.

842
00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:53,199
But I hope that this is like a reoccurring thing.

843
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,280
I hope when every Zach Gregor, like justin long.

844
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,079
Speaker 4: Pops up like on average, he's coming.

845
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely get him in there, like and just because to

846
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:03,880
me he's a very underrated actor. So when he popped

847
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,599
up in there, I liked where Archer just gets strong

848
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,639
willed by the mom like I'm not showing you that footage,

849
00:35:08,679 --> 00:35:10,760
like I don't feel con ball, like you gotta leave,

850
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:13,199
and he just waits for the husband who's like getna

851
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,199
bend over back where like like he.

852
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: Just long plays him.

853
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,159
Speaker 1: He's like you can tell where he's one hurt. Also

854
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,320
because his kids was kind of comes off like a

855
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,880
little pathetic, right and like yeah, like what do you mean?

856
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,760
And then boom they're in the room and he lost

857
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,199
the argument and he's showing the footage. But it did

858
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,719
help and then luckily it kind of you know, got

859
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,599
him on the track to start leaving Justine.

860
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,679
Speaker 2: Because that guy, uh so.

861
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: Obviously he did paint that they'd show the scene where

862
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,960
he got the wrong paint. He's like a construction worker,

863
00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:43,760
so what he uses that paint for is to paint

864
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,159
witch on the teacher's car. Do you think he was

865
00:35:46,159 --> 00:35:48,880
also doing the knocking and the doorbelling just to fuck.

866
00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 2: With her or do you think that man the paint

867
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,719
I get as like a forty fifth drow man.

868
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,679
Speaker 1: I don't get the fucking just like Josh Broling ringing

869
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,880
like running away, like imagine someone seeing they're like, what

870
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,599
the fuck is Archier doing out there?

871
00:36:01,639 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 4: You know?

872
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,039
Speaker 2: But uh, because yeah, he's fully convinced it's her.

873
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: But then once he sees what happens with Ben Nikwong,

874
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,440
which I appreciate that he like three times like save

875
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:13,400
Julie Gardner says okay, he because I wasn't sure if

876
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,440
he was gonna take that as like, oh yeah, you

877
00:36:15,519 --> 00:36:18,039
clearly did something, maybe did someone him, But he starts

878
00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:20,800
to put together like okay, something's going on. I thought

879
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,079
a very brutal scene of how they turned Ben Nitwong

880
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:27,199
where it's just like him and his husband and they

881
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,239
they have some weird dinner set up where it's like

882
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,199
Carrot's branch tipping like six hot dogs on a trade.

883
00:36:32,199 --> 00:36:35,639
But they're gonna watch some programs together. Fucking Gladys shows up.

884
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:38,920
Because great scene too before where when they set up

885
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,119
that he has to Julie Gardner again, Like it's a

886
00:36:42,119 --> 00:36:44,039
string of good scenes, is why I said before, like

887
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:46,079
I have some issues, but see it because there's so

888
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:48,519
much good stuff in there. When Julia Gardner goes to

889
00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:51,639
check on Austin or was it Austin right, the little

890
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:55,519
kid Alas or Alex, I said, awesome, I apologize before

891
00:36:56,079 --> 00:36:57,679
And she goes to the house and all the house

892
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,760
of newspapers on the windows, and she looks in one

893
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,880
wind know and sees like the parents sit in there

894
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,559
and they're just like statues.

895
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: Pretty much, great little reveal there.

896
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: But when she like makes the case of okay, child engagement,

897
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:12,559
and Bennett Wong gets involved, like okay, half gonna talk

898
00:37:12,559 --> 00:37:14,480
to the guardian. She just to make sure that Alex

899
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:17,119
is doing fine. And the Gladys has to come because

900
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:19,119
obviously she has these people on the voodoo. They can't

901
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:21,960
go great shot when she's walking through the glass and

902
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,719
because like her wig and the bright color, like you

903
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,039
just see like the silhouette of her coming and it's great,

904
00:37:26,079 --> 00:37:28,679
and benig Wan's face is like what's going on here,

905
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,400
but he establishes like, hey, it doesn't matter if you're

906
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:31,800
the aunt.

907
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 2: Hell well you know the family. I need to speak

908
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:34,880
to a guardian.

909
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: So they set up that like Gladys is like her

910
00:37:37,039 --> 00:37:39,280
her the rope is starting to fall, which again even

911
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,880
then though it's like once he ended up dead, like

912
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,360
eventually something like is gonna pick up what she's doing.

913
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,199
But that's fine. So she decides, Okay, well, Benik Wong,

914
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,079
he has to go. She shows up to his place,

915
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,280
needs some water, uh, and they let him in, which

916
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:55,239
I love that Mark is like like telling osman like

917
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,920
not to let her in, like pretty like he's trying

918
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,639
to be nice. But the husband lets her in and

919
00:37:58,679 --> 00:38:00,320
he does the voodo. Where the voodo is, she has

920
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,159
some tree that's grown, she's a branch. She has thorns,

921
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:06,400
so she cuts herself, gets a bunch of blood, wipes

922
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,239
it all over the thorns.

923
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 2: She gets a piece of the person's hair.

924
00:38:09,199 --> 00:38:12,159
Speaker 1: That wants to be killed or taken over and wraps

925
00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:14,480
around this thing and then breaks and does their command.

926
00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:16,400
The only way to stop it is dropping in the water.

927
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,800
And yeah, poor Marcus and his husband, which I'm pretty

928
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,559
sure that is the director that was playing Bennett Wong's husband.

929
00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 2: I think that Zach Gregor.

930
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,159
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him much, but yeah, then Kwang just

931
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,880
head butts him to shit and he's just like a

932
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:30,800
broken skull.

933
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,199
Speaker 2: And then he just runs out of there.

934
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: So terrible ending for that character who was relatively just

935
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,800
a good guy, you know, like nothing like that deserved

936
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,679
any of that fate. But then after that kills when

937
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,360
Josh Bowen's Chacter's like, Okay, I don't think this teacher

938
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,320
is this teacher is no, not a bad person, Like

939
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,679
this teacher clearly is looped into something here, and they

940
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,760
get the map and stuff, but yeah, no, I thought

941
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,119
there's some good reveals there.

942
00:38:56,159 --> 00:38:59,039
Speaker 2: And yeah, the voodoo, Like I wasn't thinking of voodoo.

943
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be like I think we

944
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,519
talked about for trailers, like a sinister situation where we're

945
00:39:03,559 --> 00:39:06,559
not saying like sinister, but like a bgoul where this

946
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,639
it's something grand or supernatural, especially with kids. It's like,

947
00:39:10,079 --> 00:39:11,760
is that a play on the bogey Man or what

948
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,880
it may be? But it was like, obviously voodoo is

949
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,480
still supernatural, but that's more just to the point. And

950
00:39:17,519 --> 00:39:20,199
they never explained why do you think she wanted all

951
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:20,760
those kids?

952
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 3: Uh, rejuvenation, I'd say, because that's what they were hinting

953
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,800
out with the parents. And then she's like, oh, the parents,

954
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,039
they're not really able to help me or anything like that.

955
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair so, and they never said that I don't

956
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,000
need that, that's fine, but uh but yeah, that's where

957
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:37,800
she got all these kids to run and they were

958
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,320
just chilling in her basement and uh yeah. And then

959
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,119
what did you feel about the James character, because that's

960
00:39:45,119 --> 00:39:47,360
when we have talked about he's pops up. And that's

961
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,119
why I got very excited because I didn't know Austin

962
00:39:49,159 --> 00:39:50,920
names in this. I knew we heard rumors and he

963
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,840
is the lead of Resident Evil. But when Julia Gardner

964
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,400
goes to the liquor store the first time, he is

965
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,400
at the door like busting and asking her for money.

966
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,119
And I saw him. They're like, oh, there's fuck in

967
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:03,559
Austin Abrams. I can't wait, And man did he deliver here.

968
00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:07,320
He's playing like a meth head who's just like stealing

969
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,800
stuff trying to get money X, Y and Z, but

970
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,800
does a really great job. But he gets looped in

971
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,199
this because he just ransacks that house and then finds

972
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,880
all those kids in there, and of course the kids

973
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,360
has a fifty thousand dollars reward.

974
00:40:17,519 --> 00:40:19,119
Speaker 2: But yeah, what are you thinking about all this?

975
00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 3: I almost thought he was like the older brother or

976
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,679
something like that. And he's going back to his family

977
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,320
house and he was kicked out. He was gonna steal

978
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,880
some stuff, but no, not the case. He just happened

979
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:34,880
along that house unfortunately for him. And yeah, everything everything

980
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,239
with that just it worked for me. The character was

981
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,920
really really good and you just you felt like crap

982
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,679
for him, I guess to a point. And yeah, him

983
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,199
trying to get the reward was very very fitting. The

984
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,360
phone calls were very humorous. And then his dynamic with

985
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,920
Paul was it worked worked with me. Just when he's like, Okay,

986
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,519
I'm gonna go to the station and like say what

987
00:40:54,599 --> 00:40:57,280
I know, and just Paul is like I told you

988
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:03,000
to fucking just brutal, brutal, and the obviously with what

989
00:41:03,079 --> 00:41:07,719
with what follows, but their whole dynamic, like I thought

990
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,679
things were gonna work out fine when they're at that

991
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,960
house and Paul goes in and knocks the door and everything,

992
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,679
and James is like, what the fuck what's going on?

993
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:16,639
And then when it cuts and it's like just all

994
00:41:16,679 --> 00:41:19,519
the nighttime, it's like, oh, fuck, okay, now you know

995
00:41:20,559 --> 00:41:21,960
shit's not poor.

996
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: Guy just left in there for hours and then gets

997
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,360
pulled out and yeah, same thing. He didn't have a

998
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,920
good ending as well too. You got head shotted and

999
00:41:29,159 --> 00:41:32,679
killed because they made when you get infected by his voodoo,

1000
00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:35,840
you're impervious to pain and even stuff like at one

1001
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,760
point Paul gets shot in the thrown and he's still going.

1002
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,800
But if it's like a clear headshot or something like that,

1003
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,519
a kill shot that will stop you, which which I like.

1004
00:41:42,559 --> 00:41:44,199
I think that's a good way to still put limits

1005
00:41:44,199 --> 00:41:45,360
on the on the body.

1006
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,599
Speaker 3: You know, the audience at my theater was just in tears, laughing,

1007
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,840
just with the whole Archer and Paul or sorry, Archer

1008
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,320
and James thing, which oh yeah, Archer would just boom

1009
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,360
and then he's like and then he just wakes back

1010
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,000
up and then knocked out and wakes back up.

1011
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 4: I was killing it in my theater.

1012
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, my theater like that too. So yeah, let's take

1013
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,760
her probably last ad break. Then we'll be right back,

1014
00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:12,039
and we're back so we can talk about I think

1015
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,800
another good, really good thing.

1016
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: And this is like a slower part of the movie.

1017
00:42:17,119 --> 00:42:18,719
But when you get to Alex's.

1018
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: Story just because it's it's such a sad like you

1019
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,960
go from little kid living his life just like and

1020
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:28,000
what I like about is too that they set up

1021
00:42:28,039 --> 00:42:30,880
the parents to be like caring parents, but normal parents.

1022
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,440
So I was like, hey, you know your room's dirt.

1023
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,159
You're like, you know, it's not fair that we clean it.

1024
00:42:35,159 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 2: You got to do that.

1025
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,559
Speaker 1: But there's still love there with the parents. So for me,

1026
00:42:40,159 --> 00:42:43,599
what I really liked is you set the kids up

1027
00:42:43,679 --> 00:42:46,239
knife to life to be pretty normal, right, and they

1028
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,519
show that there's like some like bullying going on, but

1029
00:42:48,559 --> 00:42:50,760
that's not the reason. He doesn't give up the kids,

1030
00:42:51,039 --> 00:42:53,400
saying like, oh, maybe you know, Aunt Glass, you could

1031
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,760
take them out, because yeah, what happens is the setup

1032
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,639
is that she they the parents tell Alex like, hey,

1033
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,159
you're her Aunt's really sick. We've not seen her attentions,

1034
00:43:02,159 --> 00:43:03,519
but she's gonna come stay at this because she all

1035
00:43:03,559 --> 00:43:05,920
has nowhere to stay. And then already night one, like

1036
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,239
the parents, they're just staring at the table, like they're

1037
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,960
sitting the table, just staring at each other. They're just

1038
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,760
pretty much look like they are vegetables, but they're still alive.

1039
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,199
And he has to, you know, give them soup and

1040
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,480
feed them and not tell anyone. Coase Glass says, Hey,

1041
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,920
if you tell anybody, I'm gonna hurt you. I'm gonna

1042
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,639
hurt your parents, and she does an example by she

1043
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,360
makes them like take forks and just stab themselves on

1044
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,840
the face. So it's a great setup of like, of course, yeah,

1045
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,000
why would a kid not say anything this terrible thing's

1046
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,440
happening in their home. But it's literally, hey, I'm gonna

1047
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,159
kill your parents. And at this point they've showed the

1048
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,400
parents to be caring and loving, so you wouldn't want that, right,

1049
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,039
It's not like a broken household or anything like a

1050
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:45,000
Leon the professional or something, so that happens. And I

1051
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,559
thought it was just like a good, very depressing, you know,

1052
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,119
story and montage of Alex what he does. He goes

1053
00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:55,199
to school every day and he feeds his parents and

1054
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,000
he just sits there quietly and he does rinse, repeat,

1055
00:43:58,199 --> 00:43:59,559
And then when all the kids are there, it's worse

1056
00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:01,280
because not only does he have to feed his parents

1057
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,880
his can soup, he has to feed these kids. So

1058
00:44:03,079 --> 00:44:05,400
I thought it was just so depressing when you're seeing

1059
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,360
the innocence of a child just be taken away and

1060
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,960
uh and it just for a month. Yeah, And I

1061
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,760
think it really does a good job of it, doesn't

1062
00:44:14,199 --> 00:44:16,400
It makes me like Gladys is like a performance wise,

1063
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,280
because I think the actresses is a phenomenal job, but

1064
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,079
like you don't you're not rooting for this villain at

1065
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:23,480
any point. And then the ending, like we talked about,

1066
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,719
where you know, our two characters justin Archers start to

1067
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,440
figure out, Paul and James kind of get in there,

1068
00:44:30,119 --> 00:44:30,760
I would say.

1069
00:44:30,679 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: Semi accidentally in a way. They get possessed.

1070
00:44:33,519 --> 00:44:36,679
Speaker 1: They fight, and then eventually the kid has seen you know,

1071
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,760
access seen this enough that okay, I'm gonna make it,

1072
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:40,719
do my own voodoo.

1073
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:41,199
Speaker 2: He does it.

1074
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: He gets all the kids to run after, run after

1075
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:45,880
and Glass, which.

1076
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 4: Is so good. That's I love that scene.

1077
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is a really good scene because it's just

1078
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,719
like a bunch of tracking, a bunch of like Glass

1079
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,719
runs to her house and the kids burst through the rooms.

1080
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,679
It's not like a continuous one shot, but there's lots

1081
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,920
of one shots. It's it played up to be like

1082
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,719
someone it feels smit a barbarian where it's played to

1083
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,119
be like somewhat comedic.

1084
00:45:05,159 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: And then when they get her, they just rip her apart.

1085
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: And but yeah, what do you think about the the

1086
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,800
ending here with the Alex and the kids go after him.

1087
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,320
You talk about a little of the brawl and whatnot,

1088
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,960
But yeah, how did a glass ending over you?

1089
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 3: Everything that these possessed people do, they do under the

1090
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,639
command of Gladys Like. She's telling them, She's talking to them,

1091
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:25,000
telling them.

1092
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 4: What to do.

1093
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 3: So when you see Paul walk out of the house

1094
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,800
and motion very freakishly, like, why the fuck would you

1095
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,039
trust that motioned them to come in, and then they

1096
00:45:37,079 --> 00:45:39,360
come in, Gladys is telling them to do that. How

1097
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:40,719
did Gladys know that they were out there?

1098
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: How did it?

1099
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 3: Glads Like she's obviously very intelligent, very tactical, and very smart,

1100
00:45:44,559 --> 00:45:49,320
but it's just I don't understand how she was preconceived,

1101
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,679
knowingly under like, precognitively aware that was going to happen,

1102
00:45:54,199 --> 00:45:56,920
because she set traps for them, and you could see

1103
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:57,760
when they walk in the house.

1104
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 4: You could see James in the corner there.

1105
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 3: And then obviously there's the line of salt, and I

1106
00:46:02,119 --> 00:46:05,039
like that Archer cut onto that right away, but it

1107
00:46:05,079 --> 00:46:07,199
was too late. As soon as she steps on the

1108
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,880
salt and they just fucking charge. Yeah, and then the

1109
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,280
scene when Alex like decides to do it and he

1110
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,760
steps on the don't.

1111
00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: Don't step on that salt, So she did.

1112
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,079
Speaker 4: She did, Yeah, but he knew he had to get

1113
00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:22,719
in there. And I like the child actors were fucking

1114
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:23,360
incredible in this.

1115
00:46:23,519 --> 00:46:25,079
Speaker 3: They did such a good sho Alex did such a

1116
00:46:25,079 --> 00:46:26,599
good job, and he just had to be very like

1117
00:46:26,599 --> 00:46:29,880
a stagnant, like calm, depressed, kind.

1118
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,159
Speaker 4: Of terrified kid.

1119
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 3: But I like how it paid off when he was

1120
00:46:33,559 --> 00:46:36,320
he learned and he figured out how to do the ritual,

1121
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,960
and so him him running from the parents, the mom

1122
00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:44,559
in so many of these scenes just was fucking terrifying,

1123
00:46:44,639 --> 00:46:48,400
especially that camera angle when he's sitting on the floor

1124
00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:51,920
back against the bathroom door and he's doing his like

1125
00:46:52,039 --> 00:46:55,880
his thing, and you're waiting for Gladys to get killed,

1126
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,440
and like the camera is his perspective and he looks

1127
00:46:58,599 --> 00:47:01,280
up at the door that's being small head is in

1128
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,880
the door looking down him, screaming fucked and just terrifying.

1129
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,199
So many of those those kind of shots were so

1130
00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:10,760
top tier in this movie.

1131
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,159
Speaker 4: Uh so, yeah, I really really like that.

1132
00:47:13,199 --> 00:47:16,039
Speaker 3: And yeah, just everything with the kids breaking out, uh

1133
00:47:16,159 --> 00:47:20,840
and Gladys just five minutes of Gladys fucking keeping like

1134
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,800
she was pacing herself, well she was.

1135
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:26,639
Speaker 1: She was, yeah, oh yeah, but I guess it's adrenaline

1136
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,679
because you know your dad.

1137
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 3: Because she healed her, right, Yeah, she knows what happens.

1138
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,239
But the kids healed her right. Just the kids screaming

1139
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:39,280
and her just running all these people's houses and the

1140
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,519
kids are just a fucking wave of seventeen kids just

1141
00:47:42,599 --> 00:47:43,079
charging her.

1142
00:47:43,199 --> 00:47:45,159
Speaker 4: I loved it when they jumped through the windows, just.

1143
00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: Going interactions of people's in those houses, like archerwalks like

1144
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:49,480
now there's a man in our house.

1145
00:47:49,559 --> 00:47:52,679
Speaker 3: Like good stuff, and the dad too, and he's like, oh,

1146
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,679
they ruined the lawn, honey.

1147
00:47:56,039 --> 00:47:57,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have no idea what's going on.

1148
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: There's there's one good shot too where I think there's

1149
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,239
like a guy walking a dog or he's like a

1150
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,760
mailman and he looks at a house and here's the commotion.

1151
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,719
You just see Gladys run by and then yeah, oh yeah.

1152
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,800
They give it a beat or two and then it's.

1153
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 2: Like then all the kids follow her, and uh yeah.

1154
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: There's there's some good stuff that's like a very great

1155
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,239
sequence in the theaters and fun just to watch with

1156
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,079
people and see what's going on there. And hey, it's

1157
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,920
make a character that's a terrible piece of ship. They

1158
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,320
give him gave her a satisfying ending as far as

1159
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,880
just being destroyed by these kids.

1160
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 4: So yeah, what a way to go.

1161
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,159
Speaker 3: Like I thought they were just gonna be like choking

1162
00:48:33,159 --> 00:48:35,719
her and punching her when they actually see them rip

1163
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:36,880
the top of her head off.

1164
00:48:37,079 --> 00:48:38,559
Speaker 2: Yeah ho shit.

1165
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 3: Which the other thing too, that just gross when uh

1166
00:48:42,679 --> 00:48:47,400
uh uh gosh, why can't I Justine's character takes the

1167
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,960
potato peeler off the counter and just goes like two

1168
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,679
full strokes.

1169
00:48:52,159 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 4: Right underneath the side burns on his cheek, on his face.

1170
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,119
Speaker 2: Fuck, it's gonna burn.

1171
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:02,039
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but yeah, And then what I found was,

1172
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,239
which is, I don't know how I feel about it.

1173
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: It's an interesting choice, so I put it in the positive.

1174
00:49:06,599 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: But then the little girl who was telling the story,

1175
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,519
because it's almost like a folk tale right at the

1176
00:49:10,559 --> 00:49:13,039
beginning about like oh why how it happened? And it's

1177
00:49:13,079 --> 00:49:15,840
told like with a kid, she's like like like says

1178
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,519
like liking ums and you know things we sometimes stay

1179
00:49:18,519 --> 00:49:19,280
in the podcast like.

1180
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 2: As I just did.

1181
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: It feels more just like a schoolyard story that they're spreading.

1182
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,119
But what I found is very interesting that Okay, so

1183
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,679
they kill Glass, which I guess I just the kid

1184
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,639
knew which branch to get to control the kids, because

1185
00:49:36,639 --> 00:49:39,920
I didn't understand why all the voodoo people weren't going

1186
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:45,159
after Gladys. Then, right, because he gets a branch, breaks it,

1187
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,559
cuts himself, puts glasses hair, and then breaks it. I'm

1188
00:49:48,559 --> 00:49:50,880
just headcanning that he knows some you know, this part

1189
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,159
of the tree does this for that, but it feels

1190
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:54,599
all that the other people wouldn't go for it.

1191
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 2: Right, he.

1192
00:49:58,039 --> 00:49:58,599
Speaker 4: How does it work?

1193
00:49:58,639 --> 00:50:01,079
Speaker 3: So the specific branch has an item of the person

1194
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:06,159
and their hair of the target. Right, so he knew

1195
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,880
obviously she had to keep these kids here, she was

1196
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,159
controlling them, just like she probably had a branch for

1197
00:50:11,199 --> 00:50:14,679
the parents somewhere. But yeah, she kept the branch there

1198
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,400
for the kids, and so he knew to grab that

1199
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:18,440
specific Okay.

1200
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: Yeah then I can do that. All works for me then,

1201
00:50:20,639 --> 00:50:22,400
and not that this point doesn't work for me. I

1202
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,440
just felt very interesting that Okay, they kill Glass. When

1203
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,800
that happens, that does kind of like break the curse overall.

1204
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,880
So the parents snap out of it because Archer at

1205
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,199
one point they killed Paul and like I said, like

1206
00:50:33,519 --> 00:50:35,920
a little emotional there for Julia Gardner, I think acting

1207
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,920
wise was great, but you know it's there wasn't too

1208
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,800
much more with the character in their dynamic. I think

1209
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:42,159
that's why they could have just had been like a

1210
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,519
X's and drop a lot of his stuff. But Archer's

1211
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:48,360
choking her and then we're just kind of funny. I

1212
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,280
feel like when he gets out of the trance saying thing,

1213
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:51,480
he just like drops Justine.

1214
00:50:51,519 --> 00:50:53,119
Speaker 2: He's just like looking for.

1215
00:50:53,039 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: His son and he's like, math, dude, Matthew, like didn't

1216
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,320
even check, Like you probably broke this woman's woe fighte.

1217
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,880
But what I found was interesting choice is just goes upstairs,

1218
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,760
sees Alex. He's talking to his parents, and then the

1219
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,519
kid starts to narrate again and says that he didn't

1220
00:51:06,519 --> 00:51:08,239
he end up with an aunt that's now like a

1221
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,599
nice aunt, you know, not like Aunt Gladys, but pretty

1222
00:51:11,639 --> 00:51:15,840
much that his parents were probably committed somewhere that they didn't.

1223
00:51:15,599 --> 00:51:16,199
Speaker 2: Recover from this.

1224
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, yeah.

1225
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: And then they kind.

1226
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: Of said about the kids where they said, you know,

1227
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,440
they got them back, but they were really the same,

1228
00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:26,960
and they said, like, you know, only a few of

1229
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,719
them have said a couple of words, and that's where

1230
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:33,000
it's like that like I said, very interesting choice.

1231
00:51:33,159 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 2: It reminds me a lot of Barbarian where.

1232
00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:37,119
Speaker 1: You know Spoils movie if you've not seen so skip

1233
00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:39,559
ahead where at the end of that movie, obviously you

1234
00:51:39,559 --> 00:51:41,800
got justin long, you got the main character, and you

1235
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,519
got the barbarian and like the mother, right, but when

1236
00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:49,360
our main character has to kill the mother, she like thinks,

1237
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,039
you know, the monster's like, oh you're my baby. Like

1238
00:51:52,159 --> 00:51:56,360
it's very like only melancholy and very sad that okay,

1239
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,679
like I obviously have to kill this thing because I've

1240
00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:00,639
never escape.

1241
00:52:00,679 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 2: But it's not it's not like a it's not like

1242
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,639
a big win. It's not like a hell yeah, Like

1243
00:52:05,679 --> 00:52:07,119
it's not like and don't be wrong, this is a

1244
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:07,400
good thing.

1245
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,119
Speaker 1: It's like, let's say me in Evil Dead, where when

1246
00:52:10,159 --> 00:52:12,960
she gets that chainsaw, you're like, yeah, destroy this thing,

1247
00:52:13,119 --> 00:52:15,400
right where this is like, oh it's sad, same thing

1248
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,320
here where okay, of course they get the kids back

1249
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,119
and everything, but it's not just like uh oh the

1250
00:52:21,199 --> 00:52:21,920
curse is snapped.

1251
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:22,559
Speaker 2: Everyone's okay.

1252
00:52:22,559 --> 00:52:25,639
Speaker 1: It's those parents are done and it sounds like these

1253
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,480
kids have I would say, like just all like big

1254
00:52:28,519 --> 00:52:31,519
mental challenges now where whether they can maybe recover. Maybe

1255
00:52:31,559 --> 00:52:34,079
it's something that eventually, after twenty thirty years, they can

1256
00:52:34,079 --> 00:52:36,679
be normal people. But the fact that these kids are,

1257
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,559
you know, i'd say in middle school, like mid middle school.

1258
00:52:40,599 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: Then we go in to high school and they taught.

1259
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,519
Speaker 1: Like the person's narrating makes it sound like it's been

1260
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,880
a couple of years at least, or however, I have

1261
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,440
to watch that again. But the fact that these kids,

1262
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,119
some of them, don't even fully recover, is like, man,

1263
00:52:51,159 --> 00:52:53,400
that's what a bummer like.

1264
00:52:53,039 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 2: Like, that's that's that's pretty messed up. Sea. What do

1265
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,800
you think about that ending there?

1266
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I took it as the kids that talked, they

1267
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,440
made a comeback, they bounced back, but.

1268
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 4: They have the parents.

1269
00:53:04,639 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 3: The moment I saw that, okay, she died, Gladys died,

1270
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,519
and then Alex was talking the parents and you see

1271
00:53:09,519 --> 00:53:10,960
that shot of them, I was like, oh no, the

1272
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,559
parents are toast. They're just they're out to lunch. They're

1273
00:53:13,599 --> 00:53:18,519
not they're not present cognitively. So uh yeah, that wasn't that.

1274
00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:21,079
I was fine with the ending. I thought it worked out,

1275
00:53:21,199 --> 00:53:25,800
and uh yeah, it worked out, but they the parents,

1276
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,000
the parents got the kids back.

1277
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: I think that you get like a shadow kid back

1278
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,440
though for a while, and some of them.

1279
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if all of them recover, you know.

1280
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna head canon that it takes a little

1281
00:53:36,159 --> 00:53:37,719
bit longer and they do come back, but.

1282
00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: Sure say that.

1283
00:53:41,079 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: So that's why I was like, they went with this

1284
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,440
really down randing, which I'm not saying is a bad thing,

1285
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,920
but it's just like, man, yankes, you got everyone back,

1286
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:47,800
but at what cost?

1287
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:48,159
Speaker 2: You know?

1288
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, and obvious you want them back, but it's just like,

1289
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,639
you know, they're like I said, they did a good

1290
00:53:53,679 --> 00:53:57,719
job of having that dread throughout the movie. So yeah,

1291
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,639
is there anything else that we didn't talked about?

1292
00:53:59,639 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 2: Touch What'll see for one.

1293
00:54:01,639 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 3: One more scene that I really enjoyed too is when

1294
00:54:04,119 --> 00:54:05,920
Archer was down there and he's trying to find his

1295
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,639
son Matthew and goes kid to kid and he just

1296
00:54:08,679 --> 00:54:10,920
he glances to the side and you see Gladys just

1297
00:54:11,039 --> 00:54:12,440
crouched and smiled.

1298
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 4: Just sprouts up on him.

1299
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 3: It's like, fuck, when she wasn't in the bath or

1300
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,599
in the bedroom, but Alex is in there, I thought, Oh,

1301
00:54:18,639 --> 00:54:21,440
she's totally in the fucking basement, just waiting down there

1302
00:54:21,559 --> 00:54:22,480
this whole time.

1303
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: He should have fucking tossed her like he did to James,

1304
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,360
you know. He Yeah, strength was gone all of a

1305
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,719
sudden there. But yeah, good scene, even though I was like,

1306
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,639
why she just kind of like sitting there. I guess,

1307
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,840
like I guess to get him right. She did that

1308
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,079
so she could have control of him, so he got

1309
00:54:36,119 --> 00:54:38,199
to actually gardener right, so that that all worked out.

1310
00:54:38,199 --> 00:54:41,320
I thought was like she deliberately looked like a I

1311
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:42,199
liked the scare.

1312
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,199
Speaker 2: I think they could done another take.

1313
00:54:44,039 --> 00:54:46,159
Speaker 1: Because they felt like the actress looked like she was

1314
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,639
really in like a horror movie. Like it just felt

1315
00:54:48,639 --> 00:54:50,760
like an unnaturally why she po wasn't like this, but

1316
00:54:51,039 --> 00:54:52,760
it was a good jump scared done the last so

1317
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,840
and uh yeah, he just got a sum back I guess.

1318
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,679
So hopefully he's not sleeping in that bed anymore, which

1319
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,400
I get. That was a fun kind of all back

1320
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,079
where he's sleeping in a Batman bed and he was

1321
00:55:03,119 --> 00:55:04,360
almost Batman and BBS.

1322
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,599
Speaker 2: So that's kind of funny that that happened. So yeah, well.

1323
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you just went I'll go yeah overall, like

1324
00:55:11,199 --> 00:55:15,079
I said, kind of similar to the opening, Great time

1325
00:55:15,119 --> 00:55:17,199
at the theaters. I think it's a very very good

1326
00:55:17,199 --> 00:55:19,920
original for as far as being original top tier marks,

1327
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,480
maybe not everything hits. I got some issues here there,

1328
00:55:22,519 --> 00:55:24,880
but I didn't regret my time, and it's still at

1329
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,559
the point where hey, next time. Obviously, Resident Evil, I'm

1330
00:55:27,559 --> 00:55:29,639
a fan that franchise, so he's doing that. But even

1331
00:55:29,639 --> 00:55:31,480
if it wasn't, if it was just like another original IP,

1332
00:55:32,079 --> 00:55:34,800
it's like, Okay, it wasn't just like a Oh he

1333
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,079
had a great idea, great execution with the Barbarian, but

1334
00:55:37,119 --> 00:55:40,199
the next go around, maybe not as much. It shows, Okay,

1335
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,199
two under the belts me two for two a very

1336
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,400
good original horror concept, which is, you know, one of

1337
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,119
my favorite genres. And yeah, I'll as far as right

1338
00:55:48,159 --> 00:55:50,559
now if the quality keeps like this, this movie is

1339
00:55:50,599 --> 00:55:52,320
like a Barbarian for me, where it's not like another

1340
00:55:52,679 --> 00:55:55,199
It's not a ten out of ten, but again, I'm

1341
00:55:55,199 --> 00:55:57,119
gonna give this movie an eight out of ten if

1342
00:55:57,159 --> 00:55:59,159
you really enjoyed an a ten. That can still get

1343
00:55:59,159 --> 00:56:00,400
me to the point where hey, I want to see

1344
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,559
your work. Not everything has to be this is the

1345
00:56:02,599 --> 00:56:04,800
best horror the last second. No, it's just a very

1346
00:56:05,039 --> 00:56:07,119
very good horror movie to be I don't like and

1347
00:56:07,159 --> 00:56:08,079
maybe when I rewatch it.

1348
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 2: I'll I'll say it's great.

1349
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: Like I said in the opening, I think there's great sequences,

1350
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,480
and I think especially the first act that to me

1351
00:56:13,639 --> 00:56:14,000
is great.

1352
00:56:14,039 --> 00:56:16,039
Speaker 2: That's like a ten and ten really no notes.

1353
00:56:16,079 --> 00:56:18,159
Speaker 1: But there's a few things throughout that kind of you know,

1354
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:19,960
bring it down for some stuff we talked about that

1355
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,000
I think is clear cut, and some stuff that maybe

1356
00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:24,400
I need to rewatch something about, because even Long Legs,

1357
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:25,800
I had that where I watched it and then I

1358
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,920
did enjoy it more and Barbaria and I enjoyed more.

1359
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:28,679
Speaker 2: And that's where I.

1360
00:56:28,639 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: Think with horror and when they go original and it's

1361
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,639
not like a remake or an IP where we know

1362
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,800
all the beats. When it's introducing a new you know,

1363
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,400
context or world, you do need to sit with those

1364
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,920
a little bit because you're not preconceived as far as

1365
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,599
you haven't thought about before. Right like the next time

1366
00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:45,519
we get a nightmare on Elm Street, I know how

1367
00:56:45,559 --> 00:56:48,639
the dream world works. So that's already done. That homeworks

1368
00:56:48,639 --> 00:56:52,280
complete right where this whole branch voodo. That's that's something else.

1369
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:53,920
So but yeah, an eight and had ten for me,

1370
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,639
so and I think that's what i'd give bar I

1371
00:56:55,679 --> 00:56:57,480
think Barbarian I give like a seven to seven point

1372
00:56:57,519 --> 00:56:59,440
five retractive, they give the it's yeah, both of them

1373
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,119
to be are ad ten and yeah that's where I am.

1374
00:57:02,199 --> 00:57:04,280
Definitely some stuff and Golden EEGs will talk about maybe

1375
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,480
not like everything. I don't know if i'd be fighting

1376
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,039
for it for best Film. You never know what's in

1377
00:57:08,039 --> 00:57:09,880
there though, is you know we saw last year at

1378
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,400
the Dune controversy. But yeah, I would definitely bring this

1379
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:13,800
up again at the end of the year. But yeah,

1380
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,440
how about your self found thoughts in a rating?

1381
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, like I said at the start of the show,

1382
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:23,039
I went in thinking it wasn't gonna be necessarily suited

1383
00:57:23,079 --> 00:57:26,119
to me and my tastes after seeing Barbarian, because Barbarian

1384
00:57:26,239 --> 00:57:30,280
was just one an experience. But I was pleasantly surprised

1385
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:30,960
this movie.

1386
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 4: It kept me engaged with the.

1387
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 3: Different chapters and the story and then incorporating the voodoo

1388
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,679
and just how freaky these people were when they got

1389
00:57:38,679 --> 00:57:40,159
possessed and everything will Glass.

1390
00:57:40,239 --> 00:57:42,519
Speaker 4: It was really really working for me.

1391
00:57:43,199 --> 00:57:45,519
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna give it the same rank I

1392
00:57:45,519 --> 00:57:47,239
gave both Barbarian. Beca's pretty sure that it was a

1393
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,519
full ten out of ten. I'm gonna go nine point

1394
00:57:49,559 --> 00:57:52,719
five though, because for me, it's close, it's really close

1395
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,679
behind and it's just such a dang good movie. This

1396
00:57:55,719 --> 00:57:58,159
is one that I want to buy for sure and

1397
00:57:58,199 --> 00:58:01,199
add to the shelf because I just I'm happy to

1398
00:58:01,199 --> 00:58:03,880
be in this new age. Like usually when Halloween rolls around,

1399
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:09,199
I'm popping the classics on I cycle through Friday thirteenths

1400
00:58:09,199 --> 00:58:12,039
Halloween's you know, the old ones and wrong Turns and

1401
00:58:12,039 --> 00:58:14,880
all that kind of stuff, those older spooky horror movies,

1402
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,880
child's playing jobs, and so just to be here and

1403
00:58:19,039 --> 00:58:24,440
have a roster of modern day horror movies at chapter

1404
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,039
one that's on our rotation. Long Legs are Burian and

1405
00:58:28,079 --> 00:58:30,440
now weapons Like, it's just it's really really nice to

1406
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,280
just be able to cycle through these newer ones.

1407
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is definitely on that list.

1408
00:58:36,079 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 3: Of Halloween films to cycle through, and yeah, I'll be

1409
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,760
recommending it to people for sure. It's just it's got

1410
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,519
a lot of spook to it, a good little bit

1411
00:58:43,519 --> 00:58:46,960
of comedy, and visually, it's just the way they shot

1412
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,079
some of the scenes and did some stuff is really

1413
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,719
really good. And I enjoyed everyone's performances in this movie.

1414
00:58:52,719 --> 00:58:54,360
It's all around. I just have a dang good time.

1415
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,159
And I was seeing it alone too, so I didn't

1416
00:58:57,159 --> 00:58:59,119
really feel alone, I guess with other people in the theater.

1417
00:58:59,239 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 4: But now it was great. It was really really good.

1418
00:59:02,599 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 2: Oh there you go.

1419
00:59:03,559 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, let us know whether it's on YouTube, Patreon,

1420
00:59:06,039 --> 00:59:07,079
the discord, your thoughts.

1421
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 2: I know some couple of our patrons. I've seen it already,

1422
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,519
so yeah, let us know. And we don't know when

1423
00:59:12,559 --> 00:59:14,960
I think it's a NAT Well, I won't give a

1424
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:15,320
date yet.

1425
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about but the next two weeks we're

1426
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:18,400
gonna be doing After Night, and I think we're gonna

1427
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,840
be really talking about from June to now the summer

1428
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,960
movies because I think most of them are out now

1429
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
so we can have a good conversation with all the

1430
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,559
patrons and whatnot and see what people's thoughts and takes are.

1431
00:59:27,599 --> 00:59:30,800
But yeah, everyone, we'll be back maybe next week with

1432
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,400
the gig this episode and Proust.

1433
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 2: You I'll be boring.

1434
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 3: Bye bye,
