  "title": "Half in the Bag: Top 10 Horror Movies (2024) Part 1",
  "description": "(00:00) Intro\n(4:46) Trailers Montage/Opening Discussion\n(14:36) MaXXXine\n(17:12) Mike\u2019s dishonorable mentions\n(20:49) The Watchers\n(21:07) Stopmotion\n(27:06) Salem\u2019s Lot\n(31:34) The Coffee Table\n(36:20) In a Violent Nature\n\nHalloween. What is it? A celebration of all things spooky, scary, and macabre. Are all horror movies Halloween movies? No. Are all Halloween movies horror movies? Yes. Except for stupid kids movies. In America we celebrate Halloween on October 31st. In Canada they celebrate Halloween on May 11th the day after Queen\u2019s Day and the day before Boxing Day. In England they called Halloween \u201cPumpkin Eve\u201d and when little kids ring the doorbells they say, \u201cTrick or Teeth\u201d.  Folks hand out a trick or toothpaste (called teethpaste north of Buckinghampshire not not as far south as Willhubsmanfeld upon Blumberston\u201d. In North Korea Halloween is called Thursday. \n But Americans invented the horror film. The first horror film ever made was 1997\u2019s \u201cI Know What You Did Last Summer\u201d and since then it\u2019s been an amazing journey of terror and screams for you to annoy your religious Grandparents with. Tell them you\u2019re putting on The Last Temptation of Christ and play Terrorizer 3. When the film ends they had no idea they were pranked. Praise Jesus they say! Horror movies should be all released in October. But they aren\u2019t. It\u2019s too many films to jam into one month so they come out all year. This is why Mike and Jay have compiled this list since June. While planning for the years end 2024 recap, it was discovered that most films they\u2019ve watched drifted into the disturbing and macabre. Not always a traditional \u201cHalloween\u201d movie, but often containing disturbing violence, spooky visuals, paranormal events, murders, and so forth. So why wait until the end of the year to talk about these movies? Why not talks about them now? Mike and Jay go hopelessly off-topic so much this video is split into two parts. Part 1 #10 - #6 or so. There\u2019s some overlap and things out of order so get ready to be annoyed. But also get ready to laugh, as Jay and Mike present their witty inimitable banter with a healthy dose of lies, misleading information, incorrect facts, and jokes that aren\u2019t funny in any way. \n Please also be advised that these are not the top ten best horror films of 2024. For one, Jay and Mike have already talked about some horror movies already which they aren\u2019t including. There is also many more months in 2024. It\u2019s not over. These are the top ten recent horror films watching between roughly June and today. Not matter how many times we mention this most of you will say, \u201cBut what about\u2026\u201d and \u201cYou should have put this or that at number whatever.\u201d It is a forgone conclusion 94% of you will still not understand what this video is. I\u2019m so sorry. I know this is confusing and it is what it is.",

 Half in the bag.
2.46s - 9.51s |  Help!
9.51s - 12.51s |  Well, Jay, the year's almost over.
12.51s - 14.09s |  Mike, it's October.
14.09s - 16.59s |  Yeah, like I said, the year's almost over,
16.59s - 18.75s |  and what a scary year it's been.
18.75s - 22.59s |  Oh, you mean all the hurricanes, political scandals,
22.59s - 24.75s |  wars, all the shootings?
24.75s - 27.31s |  No, no, I'm talking about horror movies.
27.31s - 29.19s |  Since they don't make comedies anymore,
29.19s - 30.75s |  and I don't watch drama movies
30.75s - 32.83s |  because they're too boring,
32.83s - 35.29s |  all I've watched are horror movies.
35.29s - 37.73s |  No, hey, I've seen a bunch of horror movies, too.
37.73s - 39.23s |  That gives me an idea.
39.23s - 40.93s |  We should talk about our top 10...
40.93s - 44.73s |  Oh, fuck.
44.73s - 46.05s |  Who is that?
46.05s - 47.29s |  It's probably a skit.
47.29s - 49.29s |  I mean, it's probably a skit.
50.85s - 52.21s |  Come in.
52.21s - 53.09s |  God damn it.
53.09s - 54.01s |  Come in.
54.01s - 54.85s |  Hi.
56.17s - 58.49s |  Is this the Chubhub delivery guy?
58.49s - 61.01s |  I set my order for noon, you fucking moron.
61.01s - 63.37s |  Oh, no, no, I'm not from Chubhub.
63.37s - 64.45s |  My name is Nick.
64.45s - 66.65s |  Nick Plinkett.
68.73s - 70.77s |  I've been expecting you, Nick.
70.77s - 72.33s |  Hi, great-uncle Harry.
72.33s - 74.57s |  Yeah, no, I know this is kind of odd,
74.57s - 76.57s |  me just busting in here like this.
76.57s - 78.53s |  You probably haven't seen me since I was a baby, but...
78.53s - 79.77s |  Cut the bullshit.
79.77s - 81.05s |  I know why you're here today.
81.05s - 81.97s |  You do?
81.97s - 86.44s |  Yeah, you need one of my kidneys.
86.44s - 89.58s |  I mean, what the fuck is happening?
89.58s - 92.06s |  I was gonna kind of build to that, you know,
92.06s - 94.02s |  but I figured maybe we could catch up
94.02s - 95.62s |  and I could see how you're doing.
96.42s - 98.62s |  I said cut the sentimental bullshit.
98.62s - 100.78s |  I'm on the AOLs.
100.78s - 102.46s |  I've got a computer.
102.46s - 105.18s |  I've got theancestory.com.
105.18s - 107.98s |  I know that out of my 38 living relatives,
107.98s - 110.30s |  37 of them have died from kidney failure.
110.30s - 112.62s |  And you're my only match for a transplant.
112.62s - 114.54s |  I'm the last living Plinkett.
115.44s - 116.30s |  Right.
116.30s - 117.74s |  Well, okay.
117.74s - 120.18s |  Uncle Harry, why are you pointing a gun at me?
120.18s - 122.62s |  You know, I'm gonna die in a couple of days.
122.62s - 124.06s |  Is that supposed to be a threat?
124.06s - 126.34s |  No, it's not just for you.
126.34s - 128.06s |  It's for us.
128.06s - 130.14s |  See, if you want my kidney,
130.14s - 132.78s |  you're gonna have to fight me for it.
132.78s - 135.86s |  Uncle Harry, I'm not gonna fight you for your kidney.
135.86s - 137.06s |  I thought we could just, you know,
137.06s - 139.70s |  sit back and reminisce about the old times.
139.70s - 140.54s |  Remember Christmas?
140.54s - 141.58s |  No!
141.58s - 143.46s |  I know I'm 109 years old
143.46s - 146.02s |  and I got two perfectly functional working kidneys.
146.02s - 148.10s |  You've got your whole life ahead of you.
148.10s - 150.98s |  But there's no such thing as a free lunch
150.98s - 153.78s |  except for fatty's chub hub order.
153.98s - 154.82s |  What?
154.82s - 156.50s |  I had a coupon.
156.50s - 157.54s |  That's rude.
157.54s - 158.38s |  Nice to meet you.
158.38s - 159.74s |  You want my kidney,
159.74s - 162.90s |  you're gonna have to play Russian Roulette for it.
162.90s - 165.26s |  You see, I knew you were coming over today.
165.26s - 167.86s |  So I took the liberty of cutting out my own kidneys.
167.86s - 169.06s |  Jesus Christ.
169.06s - 170.38s |  Yeah, that's right.
170.38s - 174.30s |  I got it right here in this convenient carrying case.
174.30s - 176.20s |  And all of it's kidney glory.
177.12s - 178.50s |  Now, I got this gun.
178.50s - 180.56s |  There's one bullet loaded in the chamber.
180.56s - 182.18s |  I'm gonna spin the chamber
182.18s - 183.02s |  and then we're gonna take-
183.26s - 184.34s |  You know how Russian Roulette works.
184.34s - 185.70s |  You don't have to explain that to me.
185.70s - 187.86s |  Now, if you win and I die,
187.86s - 190.26s |  then obviously you get to keep the kidney.
190.26s - 192.26s |  Well, take the other one too.
192.26s - 193.70s |  I won't be needing it.
193.70s - 196.06s |  Just don't take my cocking balls.
196.06s - 199.22s |  I want the maggots to have those.
199.22s - 201.22s |  I made them a promise.
201.22s - 203.58s |  I was on stage at the Oscars.
203.58s - 204.58s |  How did I get here?
204.58s - 206.62s |  If I win and you die,
206.62s - 209.50s |  then you just die a few days sooner than expected.
209.50s - 211.08s |  No big loss.
211.08s - 213.36s |  So what's it gonna be, kid?
213.36s - 215.48s |  You wanna play one final game
215.48s - 217.14s |  with your old Uncle Harry?
219.00s - 220.24s |  Yeah.
220.24s - 221.08s |  You know what?
221.08s - 221.92s |  I do.
221.92s - 222.76s |  I do.
222.76s - 223.68s |  Like you said, I'm dying anyway.
223.68s - 225.16s |  What's a couple extra days?
225.16s - 226.92s |  And I figure the odds are probably pretty good.
226.92s - 229.36s |  It's like 50-50, right?
229.36s - 230.20s |  Let's go.
230.20s - 231.04s |  Let's do this, Uncle Harry.
231.04s - 232.60s |  I'm ready.
232.60s - 233.72s |  All right, kid.
233.72s - 235.68s |  I like your moxie.
235.68s - 237.16s |  Figure we'll do it over there by that table.
237.16s - 239.08s |  Just give me a second to get up.
239.08s - 239.92s |  Okay, yeah.
242.08s - 245.80s |  Okay.
249.66s - 251.06s |  Oh God, this really hurts
251.06s - 253.50s |  after that self-inflicting kidney surgery.
256.50s - 266.04s |  What?
266.04s - 266.88s |  What?
266.88s - 273.11s |  Joke's on him.
273.11s - 275.59s |  I put my kidney in that thing.
275.59s - 279.06s |  What?
279.06s - 280.62s |  What's even happening anymore?
280.62s - 282.22s |  Well, that man got his kidney,
282.22s - 284.06s |  so I'm happy for him.
284.06s - 286.78s |  Can we talk about these fucking movies?
286.78s - 308.13s |  Just don't get too hung up on reason.
308.13s - 309.61s |  They just keep killing.
315.10s - 326.76s |  It's a really special place.
326.76s - 330.13s |  As I've always believed,
330.13s - 332.41s |  there's nothing that can't be explained.
332.41s - 337.94s |  I want to go.
337.94s - 339.46s |  Takes on a life of its own.
339.46s - 340.30s |  Maxine!
340.30s - 341.14s |  Maxine!
341.14s - 341.98s |  Maxine!
341.98s - 343.30s |  Maxine!
343.30s - 352.62s |  You're a fucking move.
352.62s - 388.70s |  You don't have to be afraid.
388.70s - 391.02s |  Plinket ran after that guy.
391.02s - 392.46s |  It took him a little while to realize
392.46s - 396.14s |  that he put his kidney in there
396.14s - 399.30s |  so he could play Russian Roulette with that man,
399.30s - 402.82s |  but then he realized that he didn't put his kidney in there
402.82s - 404.70s |  and then he realized that he did.
404.70s - 406.38s |  So then he ran after him.
406.38s - 408.78s |  20 bucks, like on the way, running after him,
408.78s - 411.38s |  he doesn't remember what he's running after
411.38s - 413.02s |  and he just gets on the bus
413.02s - 415.18s |  and goes right to Popeye's Chicken
415.18s - 417.82s |  for his usual lunch special.
417.82s - 418.90s |  Mmm.
418.90s - 422.58s |  Get a classic combo meal at Popeye's Chicken today.
422.58s - 427.39s |  Love that chicken from Popeye's.
427.39s - 428.99s |  5.90, 4.99?
428.99s - 429.83s |  5.99?
429.83s - 430.67s |  I don't know.
431.31s - 434.47s |  Can you get a fast meal for 5.99 anymore?
434.47s - 436.27s |  35.99.
436.27s - 438.51s |  Two pieces of chicken.
438.51s - 441.47s |  Two piece with a side of mashed potatoes
441.47s - 443.67s |  and a biscuit maybe?
443.67s - 444.51s |  I don't know.
444.51s - 447.47s |  Love that chicken from Popeye's.
447.47s - 448.75s |  I didn't read the copy.
448.75s - 450.87s |  Did you read it, what they were supposed to say?
450.87s - 454.27s |  Oh, for advertisements or product placements?
454.27s - 455.99s |  Popeye's Chicken, check it out today.
455.99s - 460.99s |  High quality chicken, go to Popeye'sChicken.org.
461.67s - 462.51s |  I don't know.
462.51s - 464.47s |  All I know is it definitely won't make you sick.
464.47s - 465.83s |  Love that chicken from Popeye's Chicken.
465.83s - 467.67s |  Right, oh yeah, it won't.
467.67s - 468.55s |  That's their slogan.
468.55s - 469.59s |  That's their new slogan.
469.59s - 470.43s |  I won't give you this.
470.43s - 473.03s |  It won't make you shit your pants.
473.03s - 474.59s |  I went to Popeye's Chicken the other day
474.59s - 478.15s |  and I said, hello, I'd like to order some spinach.
478.15s - 479.99s |  And they said, we don't have it.
479.99s - 485.63s |  And I said, what do you mean you don't got spinach?
485.63s - 488.15s |  And then I drove my car into the building
488.15s - 489.51s |  and killed eight people.
489.51s - 491.43s |  I was like, whoops.
491.43s - 492.27s |  We've all been there.
492.27s - 493.11s |  We've all been there.
493.11s - 495.19s |  We've all had those kind of afternoons.
495.19s - 498.99s |  But yeah, so this video will probably be an hour long
498.99s - 502.19s |  and the last 40 minutes will be a Popeye's ad.
502.19s - 503.03s |  Yes.
503.03s - 504.75s |  So, you know, let's get to this time code
504.75s - 507.59s |  if you just wanna watch the lengthy Popeye's ad
507.59s - 508.43s |  at the end of this video.
508.43s - 511.59s |  Jay, today we're here to talk about
511.59s - 515.59s |  our 10 horror films each.
515.59s - 516.83s |  Not a top 10.
516.83s - 517.67s |  Well, yes.
517.67s - 521.15s |  Before you start typing the substance
521.15s - 524.27s |  into your internet comment fields,
524.27s - 525.79s |  neither of us have seen the substance.
525.79s - 526.71s |  That's not true.
527.87s - 528.71s |  Oh!
528.71s - 530.35s |  I have now seen the substance.
530.35s - 531.43s |  Do you went to a movie theater?
531.43s - 532.27s |  I did.
532.27s - 534.03s |  Well, hold off on that comment there, Jay.
534.03s - 535.83s |  Jay has solved the substance, I have not.
535.83s - 537.07s |  So here's the thing.
537.07s - 538.47s |  We know that you're gonna comment
538.51s - 542.59s |  that we should have included this, this, or this
542.59s - 543.95s |  in our top 10.
543.95s - 546.95s |  These are the top 10 horror pictures
546.95s - 548.71s |  we have personally seen.
548.71s - 551.39s |  Jay will now include potentially the substance
551.39s - 552.23s |  in this top 10.
552.23s - 553.07s |  I don't know.
553.07s - 554.51s |  The substance may be on my list.
554.51s - 555.35s |  Stick around for the video.
555.35s - 556.19s |  This is used to me.
556.19s - 557.87s |  It's just breaking news.
557.87s - 559.99s |  So yes, here, that's the thing is like,
559.99s - 562.03s |  we are gonna do a recap at the end of the year
562.03s - 565.59s |  and I looked at my list and I watched 14, 15 movies
565.59s - 567.79s |  and mostly all of them were horror pictures.
567.79s - 569.19s |  It's been a big year for horror movies.
569.19s - 571.71s |  So I said, since this is the spooky month of the year,
571.71s - 575.75s |  October, why don't we take 10 horror films we've watched
575.75s - 579.19s |  since our last recap and rank them just for fun.
579.19s - 582.43s |  And yes, this does not include every horror movie made
582.43s - 583.55s |  in the year 2024.
583.55s - 584.51s |  So calm down.
584.51s - 585.51s |  Well, it also doesn't include stuff
585.51s - 587.31s |  we already talked about.
587.31s - 589.51s |  Like if this was a true top 10, long legs
589.51s - 590.99s |  would be pretty far up there for me,
590.99s - 592.43s |  but we already did a video about it.
592.43s - 593.27s |  Right.
593.27s - 594.99s |  There's just movies we haven't talked about ranking them.
595.83s - 596.67s |  It's kind of horror movies.
596.67s - 597.87s |  Before we get into our list though,
597.87s - 600.87s |  we should point out as of the recording of this video,
600.87s - 604.27s |  this past weekend, number one movie at the box office,
604.27s - 608.79s |  Terrifier 3, which is fucking crazy.
608.79s - 611.27s |  This is not a studio movie, the series of movies.
611.27s - 613.11s |  I don't personally like them,
613.11s - 615.59s |  but completely independently made.
615.59s - 618.99s |  First one kind of grew following over time.
618.99s - 621.39s |  Second one was like crowdfunded
621.39s - 623.67s |  and then got released in a surprising amount of theaters
623.67s - 625.39s |  and did relatively well.
625.39s - 628.75s |  This third one budget of only $2 million,
628.75s - 631.19s |  number one at the box office over the weekend
631.19s - 634.07s |  without any sort of like mainstream marketing,
634.07s - 639.07s |  no studio behind it, just like completely grassroots growth.
640.23s - 642.23s |  This is like unheard of.
642.23s - 644.59s |  Take that Joker 2 fully adieu.
644.59s - 647.71s |  The other cloud movie that beats the sequel
647.71s - 650.51s |  to a billion dollar movie.
650.75s - 654.91s |  I mean, it taps into that like teen audience
654.91s - 657.35s |  that wants to go or young adult audience
657.35s - 658.39s |  that wants to go.
659.51s - 660.95s |  See a geek show.
660.95s - 663.79s |  See, well see like, yeah, people,
663.79s - 665.95s |  a really bloody violent horror picture
665.95s - 668.03s |  because they ain't getting it from Blumhouse.
668.03s - 668.87s |  Yeah, exactly.
668.87s - 671.39s |  Yeah, it's like the anti-Blumhouse movie.
671.39s - 675.43s |  And yeah, I guess don't give the guy
675.43s - 678.63s |  who directed the Hangover movies $200 million
678.63s - 681.71s |  and carte blanche to do whatever the fuck he wants because.
681.71s - 684.11s |  I mean, did anyone see those Hangover sequels?
684.99s - 686.23s |  I don't know.
686.23s - 688.87s |  I know you didn't like the first Joker movie.
688.87s - 690.67s |  I thought it was mediocre
690.67s - 692.59s |  and then everybody interpreted that as me hating it
692.59s - 693.51s |  for some reason.
693.51s - 697.31s |  I thought it was derivative and kind of shallow.
697.31s - 701.03s |  And from what I understand, the sequel is him saying,
701.03s - 702.39s |  oh, you like that first one?
702.39s - 704.07s |  Well, fuck you.
704.07s - 706.03s |  It's like, okay, but what are you saying?
706.03s - 708.03s |  Other than fuck you?
708.03s - 709.35s |  What's the point?
709.35s - 712.03s |  It could be one of those Gremlins two situations.
712.03s - 714.51s |  We'll only know when I never see it.
714.51s - 716.55s |  So Robert Picardo gives up
716.55s - 718.31s |  and decides to fuck a Gremlin?
718.31s - 720.03s |  That's what I heard happens at the end of Joker too.
720.03s - 721.51s |  That's why everyone's so up in arms.
721.51s - 723.75s |  Okay, okay.
723.75s - 724.87s |  It is Warner Brothers.
725.95s - 728.15s |  Joker versus Gremlins, make that happen.
729.67s - 732.03s |  Yes, yes.
732.03s - 734.23s |  I was thinking about that the other day.
734.23s - 736.99s |  This is my new prediction for the future.
736.99s - 739.83s |  After like, I don't know, your comic book movies
739.83s - 744.07s |  just burn out, epic crossover films.
744.07s - 744.99s |  So sure.
744.99s - 748.39s |  Because like you mentioned, Joker versus Gremlins.
749.35s - 751.11s |  I was thinking about like-
751.11s - 752.51s |  That's Deadpool versus Wolverine.
752.51s - 753.67s |  That's what that movie is.
753.67s - 757.11s |  I was thinking about the floating bloated corpse
757.11s - 761.23s |  of Star Wars and then the floating bloated corpse
761.23s - 762.59s |  of Star Trek.
762.59s - 766.11s |  And I was like, oh, Star Wars versus Star Trek.
766.75s - 770.35s |  You make a movie of that, it'll make a billion dollars
770.35s - 773.39s |  and then they'll rush out a sequel and no one will see it.
773.39s - 776.03s |  That's one of those one time only things.
776.03s - 778.99s |  But can you imagine like, yeah,
778.99s - 781.95s |  that kind of just that trailer,
781.95s - 783.79s |  like a giant star destroyer
783.79s - 785.91s |  and then like this time rift opens up
785.91s - 789.35s |  or dimensional rift and then the MPRISE-D flies through it.
789.35s - 790.39s |  And everybody claps.
790.39s - 791.23s |  And everyone claps.
791.23s - 792.67s |  Because they know both those things.
792.67s - 795.31s |  And they know, and then, oh my God,
795.39s - 796.95s |  that would be, we are the board.
796.95s - 799.79s |  Like 100 board cubes are flying at the Death Star.
799.79s - 803.39s |  And just imagine the endless, endless possibilities
803.39s - 806.75s |  that could occur with crossover films.
806.75s - 808.07s |  Because the studios will get desperate
808.07s - 811.15s |  for like those big like tentpole,
811.15s - 816.11s |  giant pizza pie movies that just everyone goes to see
816.11s - 818.23s |  because they're just burning out all their properties.
818.23s - 822.59s |  And then all the work for all the copyright lawyers,
822.59s - 823.79s |  becoming a copyright lawyer
823.79s - 825.95s |  would be like the new profession.
825.95s - 829.51s |  In the US, it'll go up by like 900,000%.
829.51s - 833.55s |  Where had a sign, there's like 700 copyright lawyers.
833.55s - 836.27s |  Well, Joker versus Gremlins.
837.27s - 839.59s |  I don't know how you deal with like aging actors
839.59s - 840.55s |  and stuff like that, but.
840.55s - 842.63s |  Oh, that doesn't matter anymore.
842.63s - 844.71s |  Just plug them into the AI bot.
844.71s - 847.27s |  I guess AI, yeah, in the next like decade or so,
847.27s - 849.71s |  it'll be like put Captain Picard and Riker
849.71s - 852.39s |  and Morphin and the whole crew on the Enterprise.
852.39s - 853.99s |  They team up with young Luke Skywalker.
853.99s - 856.15s |  They travel back in time and there he is.
856.15s - 858.91s |  And everybody has a gigantic orgy
858.91s - 860.59s |  on the Star Trek Enterprise.
863.10s - 867.01s |  Will I see you again?
867.01s - 867.85s |  Perhaps.
876.74s - 877.58s |  What are we doing?
877.58s - 878.98s |  What start?
878.98s - 880.10s |  10, 10.
880.10s - 886.68s |  My number 10 on my list is Maxine.
886.68s - 891.16s |  Maxine, I'm the private detective, I divide you.
891.16s - 896.16s |  Third film in the Tye West's Mia Goth trilogy.
896.48s - 898.36s |  On paper, this should be my favorite one
898.36s - 900.92s |  because it's an homage to Italian Jollos
900.92s - 904.12s |  and sleazy LA nightlife movies.
904.12s - 907.00s |  But it's by far the weakest one.
907.00s - 908.04s |  Because the story with those first,
908.04s - 909.96s |  there was X and then Pearl.
909.96s - 912.28s |  Pearl, I think is by far the best one.
912.28s - 915.20s |  X is decent, it's a good movie.
915.20s - 917.12s |  But I guess the backstory was they were filming X
917.12s - 918.16s |  and while they were making that,
918.16s - 920.96s |  Tye West and Mia Goth just kind of came up
921.08s - 922.88s |  with this whole backstory for the old lady character,
922.88s - 924.40s |  the murderer character in that.
924.40s - 927.44s |  So they were filming it in New Zealand, I think.
927.44s - 930.16s |  Let's just stay in New Zealand longer and make another movie.
930.16s - 931.88s |  So they have this creative momentum
931.88s - 933.44s |  and just film the second movie.
935.04s - 937.04s |  Almost like a spur of the moment idea.
938.16s - 939.76s |  So those two movies are very connected
939.76s - 941.56s |  and I think they build off of each other.
941.56s - 943.84s |  And I was like, well, now we do a third one?
943.84s - 945.88s |  It was kind of like an afterthought
945.88s - 948.88s |  because it's the main character, Mia Goth from X.
948.88s - 950.76s |  She's now back, she's in LA.
951.48s - 953.32s |  There's a mysterious black-gloved killer.
953.32s - 954.60s |  She has to figure out what's going on,
954.60s - 957.64s |  all the killings are somehow related to her.
957.64s - 960.68s |  But her character has like no agency in it.
960.68s - 964.00s |  It's mostly her reacting to things happening around her.
964.00s - 966.36s |  So the character that I thought worked really well in X
966.36s - 971.36s |  just has like no kind of forward momentum in the story.
971.60s - 974.20s |  Wait, wait, so in the sequel, Pearl,
974.20s - 977.16s |  that is Mia Goth but she's playing the old lady?
977.16s - 978.32s |  Well, she's playing the old lady in X.
978.32s - 979.64s |  She played both roles in X.
979.68s - 982.20s |  Okay, so it's like, it's not the girl from X,
982.20s - 984.16s |  the porn actress or whatever, right?
984.16s - 986.16s |  It is, it's that character, Maxine,
986.16s - 987.32s |  is in the movie Maxine.
987.32s - 989.36s |  No, no, but in Pearl, it's the old lady's backstory.
989.36s - 990.96s |  In Pearl, it's the flashback to the old lady
990.96s - 991.80s |  when she was young.
991.80s - 992.80s |  It's all Mia Goth.
992.80s - 993.64s |  Okay, gotcha.
993.64s - 994.48s |  And she's a great actress.
994.48s - 995.92s |  I forgot she played the old lady in X.
995.92s - 997.44s |  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
997.44s - 1000.88s |  But she has so many great acting moments in Pearl
1000.88s - 1003.92s |  and then in Maxine, not nearly as much to do.
1003.92s - 1006.32s |  The mystery, the killer mystery
1006.32s - 1009.44s |  is easy to figure out very early on.
1009.56s - 1012.08s |  So there's no real tension, no real drama,
1012.08s - 1015.12s |  couple flourishes of visual creativity that I liked
1015.12s - 1019.08s |  but by far the weakest and most boring
1019.08s - 1020.84s |  of those three movies, unfortunately.
1020.84s - 1022.20s |  I was really looking forward to it.
1022.20s - 1023.04s |  I'm sad to hear that.
1023.04s - 1024.36s |  Because I really like Mia Goth.
1024.36s - 1025.40s |  I'm sorry for your loss.
1025.40s - 1026.44s |  That's my number 10.
1032.93s - 1035.89s |  So these are my 10s plus real quick.
1035.89s - 1036.73s |  Okay.
1036.73s - 1038.61s |  I watched the tarot movie.
1038.61s - 1039.45s |  It was-
1039.45s - 1040.65s |  You watched all the shit ones.
1041.29s - 1043.69s |  You watched all those crappy Blumhouse movies.
1043.69s - 1045.09s |  I-
1045.09s - 1046.25s |  Is tarot a Blumhouse or no?
1046.25s - 1047.21s |  I don't know.
1047.21s - 1048.05s |  I think so.
1048.05s - 1050.73s |  It's like, there's another movie
1050.73s - 1053.05s |  called Spin the Bottle out now.
1054.77s - 1056.57s |  Where are we?
1056.57s - 1058.97s |  Isn't this the house that all those murders happened at?
1060.41s - 1062.01s |  They're playing Spin the Bottle.
1063.29s - 1066.45s |  And it's like, somehow I'm fascinated by like,
1068.41s - 1069.93s |  what do we make a movie about?
1070.01s - 1071.69s |  High concept, low effort movies?
1071.69s - 1073.65s |  High concept, low effort, low intelligence.
1073.65s - 1075.29s |  Like tarot cards are spooky.
1075.29s - 1076.57s |  Okay, let's Spin the Bottle.
1076.57s - 1077.41s |  Remember that game?
1077.41s - 1079.17s |  Let's make a movie about it.
1079.17s - 1083.85s |  And I have this interest in making a horror picture about-
1085.49s - 1086.53s |  Don't give them ideas.
1086.53s - 1088.57s |  I have a whole treatment written up.
1088.57s - 1089.41s |  Okay.
1089.41s - 1090.53s |  And it's amazing.
1090.53s - 1092.09s |  It's amazing.
1092.09s - 1093.49s |  And it has a whole story.
1095.33s - 1096.17s |  Oh, okay.
1096.17s - 1097.61s |  And a group of,
1100.02s - 1101.66s |  I don't know why I'm pitching this to you.
1101.66s - 1102.78s |  This is my elevator pitch.
1102.78s - 1103.62s |  Ready?
1103.62s - 1107.10s |  They go,
1107.10s - 1109.38s |  but they end up at this old.
1114.53s - 1116.41s |  So anyways, movies like that kind of fascinate me.
1116.41s - 1118.21s |  It's like, what are they gonna do with this gimmick?
1118.21s - 1119.21s |  But tarot was like,
1119.21s - 1121.61s |  it was like a competent, but forgettable.
1122.61s - 1124.09s |  The Strangers, chapter one.
1125.57s - 1126.41s |  No.
1126.41s - 1127.65s |  Renny Harlan, he's back.
1127.65s - 1129.35s |  Yeah, it was a good looking movie,
1129.35s - 1134.35s |  but it was like pointless and unsatisfying.
1135.23s - 1136.55s |  Well, that's the ultimate.
1136.55s - 1138.51s |  Like we talk about like sequels to Halloween,
1138.51s - 1140.91s |  how it's like, Halloween is such a singular idea.
1140.91s - 1143.79s |  That first strangers movie is so simple
1143.79s - 1145.11s |  and so straightforward.
1145.11s - 1147.03s |  There's no reason to make more of them.
1148.83s - 1151.35s |  Well, I put Apartment 2A on here.
1151.35s - 1152.47s |  Oh, that's in your sub 10.
1152.47s - 1153.67s |  Okay, well, we'll talk about that
1153.67s - 1154.63s |  because it's on my list.
1154.63s - 1155.47s |  So we'll talk about that.
1155.47s - 1156.39s |  Yeah, we'll talk about it when you talk about it.
1156.39s - 1158.91s |  And then I watched the Afraid movie,
1158.91s - 1161.47s |  the AI movie, John Cho.
1161.47s - 1162.35s |  Yeah.
1162.35s - 1164.59s |  Oh boy, was that bad.
1164.59s - 1167.27s |  That was just awful.
1167.27s - 1169.67s |  I don't even remember what happened at the end.
1179.37s - 1180.89s |  These are like Blumhouse movies
1180.89s - 1184.71s |  that they shoot for like a million bucks
1184.71s - 1188.97s |  and they make 32 million at the box office
1188.97s - 1191.77s |  and they finance bigger Blumhouse projects.
1191.77s - 1194.05s |  I think it was like five years ago,
1194.05s - 1196.97s |  it was like from the producers of Paranormal Activity.
1196.97s - 1197.81s |  Oh yeah.
1197.81s - 1198.63s |  Happy Death Day.
1198.63s - 1199.47s |  Happy Death Day.
1200.19s - 1205.19s |  And now it is Megan, something else and something else.
1206.11s - 1208.11s |  So they're more recent kind of hit movies.
1208.11s - 1210.47s |  It's enough to see three titles,
1210.47s - 1213.83s |  enough to register three hit titles in your brain
1213.83s - 1214.95s |  and move on.
1215.87s - 1218.43s |  And so that was the formula about five years ago.
1218.43s - 1221.05s |  Now it's repeating and five years it'll repeat again
1221.05s - 1222.67s |  once they get three hits.
1222.67s - 1224.91s |  It is a machine.
1224.91s - 1227.35s |  That's the thing is they have no personality.
1227.35s - 1228.59s |  They're all PG-13.
1228.59s - 1230.71s |  They're aiming for the widest audience possible
1230.71s - 1232.31s |  which means they're gonna be bland.
1232.31s - 1233.63s |  Yeah.
1233.63s - 1234.47s |  And then that's it.
1234.47s - 1236.19s |  They eke out a profit opening weekend
1236.19s - 1238.03s |  and then they're never mentioned again.
1241.86s - 1243.86s |  So my tennis trap, we're gonna wait
1243.86s - 1247.18s |  till we get up to one or whatever you're just.
1247.18s - 1249.30s |  What if I put trap at number one?
1249.30s - 1251.34s |  Okay, well, what if we coincide too much?
1251.34s - 1252.94s |  My nine is The Watchers.
1254.14s - 1254.98s |  Okay.
1254.98s - 1255.82s |  Did you not see that?
1255.82s - 1256.66s |  I haven't seen The Watchers.
1256.66s - 1259.70s |  Okay, The Watchers, fairies, nope.
1261.02s - 1262.62s |  That's all I wrote.
1262.62s - 1267.24s |  That's your review of the movie.
1267.24s - 1268.24s |  Number nine on my list.
1268.24s - 1269.56s |  I think this is on your list.
1269.56s - 1271.80s |  Probably higher, stop motion.
1271.80s - 1274.04s |  Yeah, it's on my list.
1274.04s - 1274.88s |  Okay.
1274.88s - 1275.70s |  I don't know what it is.
1275.70s - 1277.04s |  I think you're right in the middle.
1279.12s - 1282.89s |  Oh, I forgot to put it on there.
1282.89s - 1283.73s |  There's a girl.
1285.89s - 1286.81s |  She's scared.
1289.01s - 1290.21s |  There's someone coming.
1291.21s - 1295.54s |  Stop motion.
1296.42s - 1299.62s |  Story-wise, not doing anything new.
1299.62s - 1300.88s |  We've seen a lot of movies like this,
1300.88s - 1302.74s |  especially in the last few years.
1302.74s - 1306.94s |  Young woman starts to, her reality starts to unravel
1306.94s - 1308.82s |  and is she losing her mind?
1308.82s - 1310.82s |  St. Maud's.
1310.82s - 1312.22s |  The Britney Spears story.
1312.22s - 1314.42s |  The Britney Spears story, what?
1316.14s - 1317.98s |  That's an outdated reference.
1317.98s - 1319.30s |  I mean, is she still around, but.
1319.30s - 1320.26s |  I know.
1320.26s - 1323.58s |  I've suddenly became, what's his face?
1325.18s - 1326.46s |  Gene Shalit.
1326.46s - 1328.98s |  I think I have the comb over and the tuxedo.
1328.98s - 1330.14s |  Britney Spears.
1330.14s - 1331.62s |  Oh.
1331.62s - 1332.46s |  Yeah, you know.
1332.46s - 1333.28s |  Neil Hamburg?
1333.28s - 1334.62s |  Britney Spears.
1341.57s - 1350.54s |  That's when it takes on a life of its own.
1350.54s - 1352.26s |  So story-wise, not doing much new,
1352.26s - 1355.82s |  but man, those little stop motion creatures are great.
1355.82s - 1357.22s |  All the stop motion stuff in the movie,
1357.22s - 1359.10s |  I think kind of elevates it to something
1359.10s - 1360.22s |  a little more interesting.
1360.38s - 1364.98s |  Well, yeah, I liked this movie quite a bit.
1364.98s - 1366.94s |  I didn't love it or I didn't hate it.
1366.94s - 1371.42s |  I saw the trailer and I was obviously lured in
1371.42s - 1373.62s |  by the visuals and the style.
1373.62s - 1375.82s |  That's its strength, yeah.
1375.82s - 1380.18s |  And there's something, there's more going on.
1380.18s - 1384.82s |  It's more like metaphorical and the spiral
1384.82s - 1389.50s |  into insanity by her being lonely and the muck.
1389.66s - 1390.74s |  Or control of her mother.
1390.74s - 1392.58s |  Yeah, the oppressive mother.
1392.58s - 1397.02s |  And there's a lot of character stuff going on with that.
1397.02s - 1400.62s |  And it was nice to see, I kind of thought like,
1400.62s - 1404.50s |  okay, she's making a stop motion movie
1404.50s - 1407.62s |  and it becomes like all-encompassing.
1407.62s - 1412.26s |  And then during the storm, lightning strikes her studio.
1412.26s - 1414.48s |  And the stop motion characters become possessed
1414.48s - 1415.62s |  by evil forces.
1415.62s - 1417.22s |  Now this isn't a Blumhouse movie.
1417.22s - 1418.58s |  It's not a puppet master film.
1419.30s - 1420.74s |  Like I said, yeah, like a Saint Maude
1420.74s - 1422.98s |  or like censor from a couple years ago.
1422.98s - 1426.34s |  It's that exact kind of same structure of what's real,
1426.34s - 1428.18s |  what's not, is she losing her mind?
1428.18s - 1430.30s |  It follows that kind of formula.
1430.30s - 1435.30s |  Right, but there's a, it's very similar to, well, Cuckoo.
1437.98s - 1438.82s |  You didn't watch that.
1438.82s - 1440.18s |  I haven't seen Cuckoo yet.
1440.18s - 1445.18s |  There's the plot and then there's the theme.
1446.18s - 1449.86s |  And this is the oppressive mother
1449.86s - 1451.74s |  and the daughter wanting to finish her mother's work.
1451.74s - 1454.66s |  Her mother goes into a coma and then eventually dies.
1454.66s - 1457.70s |  And then there's a mysterious little girl that comes around.
1462.84s - 1464.48s |  What's all that stuff?
1464.48s - 1466.76s |  It's called stop motion animation.
1466.76s - 1467.72s |  What do you think?
1467.72s - 1469.04s |  It's a bit boring.
1469.04s - 1471.40s |  It's not finished and it's not boring.
1471.40s - 1472.32s |  Make a new one.
1472.32s - 1473.16s |  A new one?
1473.16s - 1474.36s |  Yeah.
1474.36s - 1478.56s |  And she rents like a abandoned apartment
1478.60s - 1480.44s |  in like a abandoned building, basically.
1480.44s - 1483.16s |  It's like no one barely lives in the building.
1483.16s - 1485.92s |  So that she could have privacy and work on her thing.
1485.92s - 1487.12s |  And a little girl comes around
1487.12s - 1489.48s |  and starts telling her how to make the movie better.
1489.48s - 1492.56s |  So there's like generational female stuff.
1492.56s - 1495.92s |  What was that other movie with the generational females?
1495.92s - 1496.76s |  Oh, Relic.
1496.76s - 1497.60s |  Relic, yeah.
1497.60s - 1499.16s |  Which will kind of come up later.
1499.16s - 1503.08s |  Metaphorical and less, you know,
1503.08s - 1505.64s |  the monster is possessed by a demon
1505.64s - 1508.36s |  and is trying to stab you as you're running down the hallway.
1508.36s - 1511.24s |  So I appreciate the artistic approach.
1511.24s - 1512.08s |  And the visuals too.
1512.08s - 1513.68s |  All those little meaty puppets.
1513.68s - 1514.52s |  Oh yeah.
1514.52s - 1515.64s |  Make a little squishy noises.
1515.64s - 1516.48s |  Yeah.
1516.48s - 1517.32s |  It's very unsettling.
1517.32s - 1519.96s |  And she pulls a piece of her muscle out of her leg
1519.96s - 1523.96s |  to make the monsters and then it just goes.
1523.96s - 1525.84s |  So it's a Marilyn Manson video.
1525.84s - 1527.88s |  Music video comes to life with a story.
1527.88s - 1529.32s |  This is like a tool video, right?
1529.32s - 1531.08s |  Then they always have stop motion in their videos?
1531.08s - 1531.92s |  Yes, yes.
1531.92s - 1533.72s |  There's a great stop motion tool video.
1533.72s - 1534.84s |  Yeah, I think the director of this,
1534.84s - 1537.40s |  I think it was her first feature
1537.40s - 1539.64s |  but it directed lots of like stop motion shorts.
1539.64s - 1541.16s |  And it's like, oh God, it's clearly,
1541.16s - 1543.24s |  clearly whoever made this, that's their background,
1543.24s - 1544.08s |  isn't that stuff?
1544.08s - 1547.52s |  Because it's expertly done stop motion effects.
1547.52s - 1550.80s |  It's a good, I mean that's with all due respect,
1550.80s - 1553.64s |  it's a good movie to put on at your Halloween party.
1553.64s - 1554.48s |  Yeah.
1554.48s - 1555.68s |  It plays in the background that
1555.68s - 1558.04s |  while everyone's drinking beer and talking,
1558.04s - 1560.40s |  watch it and see creepy things.
1560.40s - 1562.24s |  Yeah, she goes to a party at one point.
1562.24s - 1564.56s |  She starts seeing like creepy puppet head
1564.56s - 1567.28s |  and then sees people with the puppet eyes on their faces
1567.76s - 1569.56s |  and yeah, good like music video type stuff.
1569.56s - 1571.36s |  And I like when she works for the like
1571.36s - 1573.84s |  corporatey puppet studio and they're like,
1573.84s - 1578.32s |  we need you to paint 6,000 eyeballs for this one shot.
1578.32s - 1582.56s |  She's like, no, I'm an artist.
1582.56s - 1584.00s |  I'm not working for the,
1584.00s - 1586.32s |  it was like the equivalent of like Disney.
1586.32s - 1587.92s |  This is kind of stop motion company.
1587.92s - 1590.64s |  So that's great scenes, that was a good movie.
1590.64s - 1591.48s |  I like that.
1591.48s - 1592.32s |  That's your.
1592.32s - 1593.28s |  That's my number nine.
1593.96s - 1596.52s |  Oh, I think that probably would have been more
1596.52s - 1600.76s |  of a seven or eight for me.
1600.76s - 1602.00s |  Okay.
1602.00s - 1603.52s |  Even though it's not your seven or eight.
1603.52s - 1604.36s |  No, I just.
1604.36s - 1605.20s |  Some, I'm not on your list.
1605.20s - 1608.20s |  That was an error and omission.
1608.20s - 1609.04s |  Okay.
1609.04s - 1611.92s |  And or omission, E slash O as they say
1611.92s - 1612.76s |  in the legal committee.
1612.76s - 1614.84s |  Corporate's gonna come down on you for this oversight.
1614.84s - 1617.68s |  It's an E and O issue there.
1617.68s - 1618.92s |  It was an accident.
1618.92s - 1626.73s |  Love that chicken from Popeye's.
1626.73s - 1629.33s |  My number eight was Salem's lot.
1629.33s - 1631.17s |  Oh yeah.
1631.17s - 1633.57s |  This is a movie that was shot like four years ago,
1633.57s - 1635.53s |  sat on a shelf.
1635.53s - 1637.85s |  At one point, it was gonna be theatrical.
1637.85s - 1639.53s |  And then it was just like erased
1639.53s - 1642.09s |  from their lineup of movies.
1642.09s - 1644.17s |  And it's David Zasloff.
1644.17s - 1645.85s |  So people were like, oh, are they just gonna delete
1645.85s - 1647.49s |  this movie from existence?
1647.49s - 1659.07s |  And I guess they finally decided to just dump it on max.
1659.07s - 1662.03s |  And as the guy, well, the guy who was in one
1662.11s - 1665.91s |  of my favorite shows in the last couple of years
1665.91s - 1668.75s |  called Outer Range, which was canceled.
1668.75s - 1669.59s |  Oh.
1669.59s - 1671.19s |  See the main guy in Salem's lot?
1671.19s - 1672.27s |  He is the main guy, yeah.
1672.27s - 1673.55s |  Is he better on Outer Range?
1673.55s - 1676.59s |  Not that he's bad in this, but his character's very bland.
1676.59s - 1679.11s |  I mean, it's a classic example of taking a Stephen King book
1679.11s - 1680.95s |  and whittling it down and whittling it down
1680.95s - 1683.31s |  until all the details that make it interesting
1683.31s - 1684.99s |  are just kind of gone.
1684.99s - 1686.47s |  Because it's supposed to be, I mean, it's about a town
1686.47s - 1688.23s |  that gets slowly overtaken
1688.23s - 1690.83s |  and all the townsfolk become vampires.
1690.83s - 1694.11s |  But there's so little emphasis on all the side characters
1694.11s - 1696.67s |  in this that it doesn't really have much of an impact
1696.67s - 1698.73s |  when they start turning into vampires.
1699.71s - 1701.47s |  This should be a miniseries.
1701.47s - 1704.19s |  I mean, there's really no point in doing a new Salem's lot
1704.19s - 1706.03s |  when you have Midnight Mass,
1706.03s - 1708.27s |  which is a very similar type of story,
1708.27s - 1709.95s |  done infinitely better.
1709.95s - 1711.91s |  Because you get to know all those side characters
1711.91s - 1714.79s |  in that town, they don't literally become vampires,
1714.79s - 1716.59s |  but they're controlled by the vampire.
1716.63s - 1719.95s |  Yeah, it felt, it felt quaint.
1720.99s - 1725.23s |  Cause same with the Rosemary's Baby prequel,
1725.23s - 1727.31s |  Apartment 2A or 7A.
1727.31s - 1729.99s |  It felt quaint because it's like,
1729.99s - 1734.19s |  oh, you know, they're just devil worshipers.
1735.39s - 1738.86s |  Help!
1738.86s - 1739.70s |  Oh.
1741.78s - 1744.18s |  Vampires, like it was probably, Salem's lot
1744.18s - 1747.86s |  was probably like groundbreaking and novel in 1974,
1747.86s - 1748.82s |  whenever he wrote it.
1749.26s - 1752.02s |  But nowadays it's just like, oh, that's the twist.
1752.02s - 1763.24s |  It's just the guy brought a vampire into this town.
1763.24s - 1764.56s |  I know how it sounds.
1765.74s - 1767.38s |  The idea that Mike Grierson
1767.38s - 1782.96s |  is some kind of creature of the night.
1782.96s - 1784.92s |  I see what you're saying, side characters,
1784.92s - 1787.92s |  but having not having seen the original movie
1787.92s - 1790.04s |  or there was a TV miniseries.
1790.04s - 1792.32s |  Yeah, Toby Hooper did it, it's classic.
1792.32s - 1794.64s |  The look of the vampire in this is directly stolen
1794.64s - 1795.96s |  from the vampire in that.
1795.96s - 1797.88s |  Barlow, the main vampire guy?
1797.88s - 1799.32s |  So Nosferatu.
1799.32s - 1800.52s |  Oh yeah, in the original book,
1800.52s - 1803.60s |  he's more like kind of eloquent and he actually speaks.
1803.60s - 1805.72s |  And the original miniseries, they turned him into more
1805.72s - 1808.80s |  of like a Nosferatu kind of growling monster.
1808.80s - 1812.16s |  And so this new one just directly takes from that.
1812.16s - 1814.00s |  But seen with the kid outside the window,
1814.00s - 1815.84s |  floating outside, that's directly taken
1815.84s - 1817.84s |  from the Toby Hooper movie.
1817.84s - 1820.56s |  I think if that stuff was stolen from the old stuff,
1820.56s - 1822.08s |  like I think that's what I liked about it.
1822.08s - 1824.16s |  It felt very retro.
1824.16s - 1825.64s |  The kid floating outside the window,
1826.48s - 1831.48s |  you just show that to a Gen Z'er and they'll just laugh
1832.32s - 1834.16s |  because it's not like jump scare,
1834.16s - 1837.36s |  but it's creepy in an old-fashioned kind of way.
1837.36s - 1840.36s |  All of them sleeping in the trunks of cars was,
1840.36s - 1842.96s |  I'm assuming in the book or at the drive-in?
1842.96s - 1845.28s |  The drive-in act is different than the original story
1845.28s - 1846.56s |  where they're at like the drive-in.
1846.56s - 1848.52s |  That's all different than the original.
1848.52s - 1850.60s |  Is that concept in the book though?
1850.60s - 1852.56s |  I don't think the drive-in's in the book at all.
1852.56s - 1855.32s |  I like the sounds sleeping in the trunks
1855.32s - 1856.16s |  of their cars.
1856.16s - 1857.00s |  It doesn't make any sense
1857.00s - 1858.00s |  because they could just sleep inside their house
1858.00s - 1858.84s |  with the windows closed.
1858.84s - 1860.68s |  Yeah, I don't think any of that's in the original story.
1860.68s - 1862.84s |  I thought that was me because they just knock down
1862.84s - 1865.16s |  the sunsets behind the,
1867.24s - 1868.40s |  did you watch this new one?
1868.40s - 1870.76s |  Oh, the sunsets behind the movie screen
1870.76s - 1872.36s |  and they knock it over and then.
1873.28s - 1875.84s |  So I would say to me,
1875.84s - 1880.68s |  it was like the Cliffs Notes version of something better.
1880.68s - 1884.16s |  And I thought the, it was entertaining.
1885.56s - 1890.28s |  I know you better take care if I find you
1890.28s - 1893.04s |  been creepin' by on my bedstead.
1894.96s - 1897.60s |  Number eight on my list is a Spanish movie
1897.60s - 1899.56s |  called The Coffee Table.
1899.56s - 1901.48s |  Have you heard of this film?
1901.48s - 1903.84s |  It's kind of becoming a little notorious
1903.84s - 1906.68s |  because the, right off the bat,
1906.68s - 1907.68s |  I'll say it would have worked better
1907.68s - 1909.24s |  as a 30-minute short film
1909.24s - 1910.76s |  because it has the inciting incident,
1910.76s - 1912.12s |  which I won't spoil,
1912.12s - 1914.60s |  but it's one of the most shocking and horrific things
1914.60s - 1915.92s |  you'll ever see.
1915.92s - 1918.24s |  It's very disturbing.
1918.24s - 1919.08s |  And then the rest of it,
1919.08s - 1920.00s |  because it's a guy,
1920.00s - 1922.16s |  he lives with his wife in an apartment
1923.12s - 1925.04s |  and they're having guests come over later, but.
1925.04s - 1926.24s |  She's in the trailer for this.
1926.24s - 1928.80s |  Okay, well, she's gone, something horrific happens.
1928.80s - 1932.00s |  And the rest of the movie is him trying to hide it
1932.92s - 1935.92s |  from his wife and from their guests that show up.
1935.92s - 1937.88s |  So it's very, almost like a sitcom premise,
1937.88s - 1941.04s |  but it's very disturbing and horrific,
1941.04s - 1942.80s |  what starts the movie off.
1942.80s - 1945.12s |  And so it develops this somehow,
1945.12s - 1946.28s |  even though it's so awful,
1946.28s - 1949.20s |  it develops this dark comedy tone of him
1949.20s - 1952.68s |  constantly trying to hide what actually happened.
1952.68s - 1953.84s |  And I don't want to say any more with that
1953.84s - 1955.00s |  because it'll get into spoilers,
1955.00s - 1958.52s |  but it's very well executed.
1958.52s - 1959.36s |  It keeps your interest.
1959.36s - 1963.00s |  It keeps the tension going for a while.
1963.00s - 1964.76s |  And then it feels like it should start to end
1964.76s - 1965.72s |  and it keeps going.
1965.72s - 1969.56s |  So 30-minute short film idea stretched a little too long,
1969.56s - 1971.60s |  but very well-directed.
1971.60s - 1974.96s |  But just be warned that it's incredibly awful
1974.96s - 1978.12s |  and horrifying, the set of events
1978.12s - 1979.56s |  that start the whole thing off.
1979.56s - 1981.24s |  Well, coming from you.
1981.24s - 1982.48s |  It's dark.
1982.48s - 1983.32s |  It's very dark.
1983.32s - 1986.64s |  My mind cannot even fathom what that could be.
1988.40s - 1998.00s |  The opening is kind of interesting
1998.00s - 1999.60s |  because it's called the coffee table.
1999.60s - 2001.92s |  The coffee table is involved in what happens.
2001.92s - 2004.92s |  So the opening scene of the movie is them like at the,
2004.92s - 2006.28s |  I can't remember if it's a thrift store
2006.28s - 2008.40s |  or just some sort of like furniture store,
2008.40s - 2010.20s |  like buying the coffee tables.
2010.20s - 2012.72s |  It's all like the origin of the coffee table
2012.72s - 2015.56s |  before it gets into the actual story proper.
2015.56s - 2017.36s |  And now is the coffee table haunted?
2017.36s - 2019.24s |  No, it's not a Blumhouse movie.
2020.68s - 2021.56s |  Every time we talk about a movie
2021.56s - 2022.68s |  that isn't a Blumhouse movie,
2022.68s - 2023.84s |  we have to point out that
2023.84s - 2030.50s |  it's not going to be the stupidest thing ever.
2030.50s - 2034.90s |  Dumb premise that leads to bloodless series of non-events.
2034.90s - 2037.02s |  That's every Blumhouse movie.
2039.42s - 2040.38s |  Oh my God.
2040.38s - 2041.22s |  Oh my God.
2041.22s - 2043.02s |  Wait, say that again, Jay.
2043.02s - 2043.90s |  I don't even remember what I said.
2043.90s - 2046.98s |  A dumb premise that leads to a series of non-events.
2046.98s - 2049.70s |  A bloodless, a dumb premise.
2049.70s - 2052.98s |  A dumb premise that leads to a bloodless series
2052.98s - 2054.46s |  of non-events.
2054.46s - 2061.96s |  Now, I would never, ever, ever suggest
2062.48s - 2065.84s |  that anyone out there,
2065.84s - 2067.80s |  I would never suggest this,
2067.80s - 2072.60s |  but anyone out there would ever go to Wikipedia
2072.60s - 2074.88s |  and put that as the plot synopsis
2074.88s - 2077.16s |  for every Blumhouse movie on Wikipedia.
2077.16s - 2078.40s |  Now I would never suggest that.
2078.40s - 2081.04s |  No, we can't recommend people abuse Wikipedia like this.
2081.04s - 2082.84s |  It's a funny idea, but I would,
2082.84s - 2086.48s |  if that happened, sure it would be hilarious.
2088.16s - 2090.36s |  Oh, how about, can we throw the word embarrassing?
2090.64s - 2094.04s |  It's an embarrassingly bad non-events.
2095.84s - 2099.52s |  A dumb premise that leads to a bloodless, embarrassing.
2099.52s - 2103.08s |  A bloodless series of embarrassingly bad non-events.
2103.08s - 2103.92s |  There you go.
2103.92s - 2105.08s |  Okay, and we're gonna put the text up here
2105.08s - 2106.40s |  just for reference.
2106.40s - 2107.24s |  Just so you remember it.
2107.24s - 2109.80s |  We would never, ever, in fact,
2109.80s - 2112.88s |  we actively suggest that you do not do this.
2114.12s - 2115.96s |  Write, update Wikipedia articles,
2115.96s - 2119.04s |  or even plot synopsis on IMDB.
2119.04s - 2120.36s |  Sure, sure.
2120.36s - 2123.20s |  I would never, ever do that.
2123.20s - 2124.04s |  No.
2124.04s - 2125.84s |  No, no, no, and I would never put the text up
2125.84s - 2127.04s |  one more time here.
2128.16s - 2129.76s |  No, we can put the text up, it's our own video,
2129.76s - 2130.60s |  and it's our own opinion,
2130.60s - 2131.44s |  so we can express our opinions in our video.
2131.44s - 2133.96s |  Yeah, that's how we feel about a lot of Blumhouse,
2133.96s - 2134.80s |  not all, but a lot.
2134.80s - 2136.40s |  Not all, get most.
2136.40s - 2138.96s |  But certainly I would never, ever, ever, ever suggest
2138.96s - 2142.96s |  anyone copy, paste that text over and over again
2142.96s - 2145.40s |  to update every possible Wikipedia article
2145.40s - 2147.56s |  on every possible Blumhouse film,
2147.56s - 2149.76s |  and or IMDB descriptions.
2149.76s - 2151.20s |  No, no, no, no, no.
2151.20s - 2159.49s |  Please don't do that.
2159.49s - 2160.33s |  On a related note,
2160.33s - 2163.43s |  I can't wait for Blumhouse to remake the coffee table.
2180.05s - 2181.85s |  Michael, what's your number seven?
2181.85s - 2185.13s |  Uh, I wonder if any of ours will line up.
2185.13s - 2185.97s |  I don't know.
2185.97s - 2188.17s |  My number seven is In a Violent Nature.
2188.17s - 2189.01s |  That's my number seven.
2189.01s - 2189.85s |  Look at that.
2189.85s - 2190.67s |  Look at that.
2190.67s - 2191.51s |  That wasn't planned.
2191.51s - 2192.33s |  That wasn't planned.
2192.33s - 2204.01s |  In a Violent Nature.
2204.05s - 2206.89s |  I liked it a lot, dot, dot, dot.
2206.89s - 2208.97s |  I liked it a lot.
2209.89s - 2212.13s |  And it's definitely worth checking out.
2212.13s - 2213.85s |  I enjoyed the trailer.
2213.85s - 2218.85s |  The film is shot in the four by three aspect ratio,
2219.21s - 2221.71s |  retro style.
2221.71s - 2223.81s |  And it says,
2223.81s - 2228.81s |  what if the camera followed around Jason Voorhees?
2229.05s - 2231.25s |  Yeah, it's basically a Friday the 13th movie.
2231.25s - 2232.37s |  Yeah, a-
2232.37s - 2234.25s |  His name's like, is it like Billy or something?
2234.25s - 2235.21s |  He's its own killer.
2235.21s - 2236.25s |  They give him his own backstory,
2236.25s - 2238.01s |  but it's basically Jason.
2238.01s - 2239.45s |  Yeah, and what is it?
2239.45s - 2242.53s |  An amulet is taken from a grave site
2242.53s - 2245.53s |  and then there's like a 10 minute long sequence of him
2245.53s - 2246.69s |  just coming out of the grave,
2246.69s - 2248.85s |  like very unceremoniously.
2248.85s - 2249.69s |  Yeah.
2249.69s - 2251.85s |  It's a very, I think the trailer describes it
2251.85s - 2254.29s |  as like an ambient horror movie
2254.29s - 2256.13s |  where you're more just kind of following around
2256.13s - 2257.83s |  because usually in a slasher movie,
2257.83s - 2260.45s |  you have the great stalk and kill scenes
2260.45s - 2263.45s |  and then you have boring human character scenes.
2263.45s - 2265.81s |  Here you replace the boring human character scenes
2265.81s - 2268.49s |  with just the monster walking around.
2268.49s - 2270.65s |  Here's what he's doing in between kills.
2270.65s - 2271.49s |  Yeah.
2271.49s - 2273.71s |  Which is interesting,
2273.71s - 2275.85s |  but then they give too much backstory
2275.85s - 2277.47s |  to where you start to get invested
2277.47s - 2279.49s |  in the idea that this will actually have
2279.49s - 2281.93s |  a satisfying story on top of it.
2281.93s - 2283.05s |  Cause we kind of break,
2283.05s - 2286.01s |  it breaks its own rules of following the monster.
2286.01s - 2287.77s |  We get that campfire scene
2287.77s - 2289.85s |  and all of a sudden we're not following the monster
2289.85s - 2292.05s |  and we're the camera spinning around
2292.05s - 2294.13s |  as these characters give all the backstory
2294.13s - 2298.37s |  and all the exposition about the history of the killer.
2298.37s - 2299.21s |  And you're like, oh,
2299.21s - 2301.33s |  is any of this going to come into play later?
2301.33s - 2303.37s |  Anything they're talking about, his weaknesses,
2303.37s - 2305.25s |  any of this going to have anything to do with anything?
2305.25s - 2306.41s |  What do they say?
2306.41s - 2307.73s |  I don't remember the details of it,
2307.73s - 2309.37s |  but that's what I remember thinking.
2309.37s - 2311.61s |  They establish like specific little details
2311.61s - 2313.45s |  about the killer and you're like,
2313.45s - 2316.81s |  oh, this is going to tie in later and then never does.
2316.85s - 2321.85s |  Yeah, see, I read that more as maybe less breaking format
2321.85s - 2326.65s |  and more of a kind of a playing on the cliche
2326.65s - 2329.21s |  of that particular scene in movies.
2329.21s - 2330.45s |  It's a-
2330.45s - 2331.45s |  I would have liked it more
2331.45s - 2334.45s |  if you have that campfire scene with the exposition,
2334.45s - 2336.89s |  but you're still behind the killer
2336.89s - 2339.21s |  and you just catch like little bits of audio,
2339.21s - 2340.77s |  little bits of dialogue about him
2340.77s - 2342.89s |  cause it ultimately doesn't matter.
2342.89s - 2344.97s |  So you want a hundred percent POV.
2344.97s - 2346.69s |  Just stay with the creature, yeah.
2347.49s - 2348.33s |  Until-
2348.33s - 2350.69s |  It's hard to pull off that kind of-
2350.69s - 2353.53s |  It is, they do a great job of it for most of the movie.
2353.53s - 2355.29s |  That scene stuck out to me.
2355.29s - 2359.25s |  And then it takes a very deliberate turn in the third act
2359.25s - 2361.17s |  to following a different character.
2361.17s - 2362.77s |  And that would have had more of an impact
2362.77s - 2365.13s |  if that was the first time that really happened,
2365.13s - 2369.93s |  where we left the killers, the camera following the killer.
2369.93s - 2370.77s |  So-
2370.77s - 2372.09s |  Let's break it up into chapters.
2372.09s - 2373.01s |  Sure.
2373.01s - 2375.31s |  Like Strange Darling,
2375.31s - 2378.23s |  where you kind of focus on different events.
2378.23s - 2379.63s |  You could do that.
2379.63s - 2384.59s |  Yeah, I think from a production standpoint
2384.59s - 2388.23s |  or producer marketing, whatever kind of standpoint,
2388.23s - 2389.75s |  like having the entire film
2389.75s - 2394.75s |  be just over the shoulder POVs of the killer guy
2395.49s - 2396.33s |  is interesting,
2396.33s - 2399.55s |  but it would take a lot of skill to pull that off
2399.55s - 2401.31s |  and keep it interesting
2401.31s - 2404.15s |  and not lose most of your audience from like-
2404.31s - 2405.91s |  Are they ever going to show anything else?
2405.91s - 2407.35s |  Because there are those people out there.
2407.35s - 2409.71s |  Oh yeah, I think as is, it's still got a lot of that.
2409.71s - 2410.55s |  It's boring.
2410.55s - 2411.39s |  You're just following the killer.
2411.39s - 2413.31s |  I've seen a lot of comments like that, yeah.
2413.31s - 2414.15s |  And I get that.
2414.15s - 2416.85s |  I certainly understand like you have to be in the,
2416.85s - 2418.19s |  because it is, it's sort of hypnotic.
2418.19s - 2419.15s |  You're just watching him.
2419.15s - 2423.67s |  It's very, I don't know, abstract in a way,
2423.67s - 2424.83s |  because it's not.
2424.83s - 2427.07s |  And that's why when you introduce these story elements,
2427.07s - 2429.35s |  they stand out more because it's like,
2429.35s - 2431.03s |  oh, okay, this must be kind of pointed
2431.03s - 2433.15s |  and must be leaning towards something.
2433.15s - 2434.99s |  So it's like, either go all in on the gimmick
2434.99s - 2437.43s |  or have a satisfying story.
2437.43s - 2447.56s |  And it kind of ends up in the middle.
2447.56s - 2450.00s |  Oh yeah, see what intrigued me in the beginning
2450.00s - 2453.24s |  was that first scene where it comes out of the ground
2453.24s - 2458.10s |  and just how, I don't know which Friday, the 13th movie,
2458.10s - 2459.72s |  where the lightning strikes the-
2459.72s - 2460.92s |  Oh, that's six, yeah.
2460.92s - 2497.06s |  Yes.
2497.06s - 2499.86s |  You know, over the top and this is just like,
2500.90s - 2502.50s |  It's so, everything's so mundane.
2502.50s - 2505.54s |  And it's so like, it lacks,
2506.02s - 2507.22s |  is there music in it?
2507.22s - 2508.46s |  I don't think there's any music.
2508.46s - 2512.58s |  It's where it lacks all the pizzazz and the,
2512.58s - 2516.54s |  there's no smoke machine running at night.
2516.54s - 2519.34s |  All the horror movie things that you think you need
2519.34s - 2522.46s |  to make it scary are withdrawn from this.
2522.46s - 2525.24s |  And it is scary at times.
2525.24s - 2527.94s |  And there are some really good moments,
2527.94s - 2530.78s |  like when they're trying to get into the ranger's station,
2530.78s - 2533.24s |  where it kind of come, I see what you're saying
2533.24s - 2536.84s |  about the fire pit scene where it's,
2536.84s - 2539.36s |  it comes off as like a what if kind of movie.
2539.36s - 2544.36s |  What if this lumbering undead thing
2544.80s - 2547.88s |  that just wants to kill, just no motivation.
2547.88s - 2549.52s |  It's just like a killing machine.
2549.52s - 2553.20s |  What if that were to come out of the ground and just exist?
2553.20s - 2556.16s |  How would the world react to that?
2556.16s - 2557.00s |  What would happen?
2557.00s - 2561.04s |  And this follows that pretty accurately,
2561.04s - 2563.32s |  except for when it breaks protocol a little
2563.32s - 2568.08s |  to kind of invest you in a story that doesn't quite exist.
2568.08s - 2569.76s |  Yeah, it doesn't really matter.
2569.76s - 2572.80s |  None of these characters are really characters.
2572.80s - 2575.64s |  We just get the final girl.
2575.64s - 2579.72s |  The story is that she's horribly traumatized at the end.
2579.72s - 2580.68s |  You know, like I don't really,
2580.68s - 2582.14s |  I don't remember the main character.
2582.14s - 2584.48s |  I don't remember if she had an arc.
2584.48s - 2586.96s |  All you remember is that guy lumbering monster
2586.96s - 2588.16s |  walking through the woods
2588.20s - 2591.28s |  and a couple of very, very inventive kill scenes.
2591.28s - 2592.72s |  Yes.
2592.72s - 2593.84s |  That's what the movie is.
2593.84s - 2595.28s |  So then yeah, when you try and introduce
2595.28s - 2597.02s |  these actual story elements,
2597.02s - 2600.62s |  they stand out from what the movie feels like
2600.62s - 2602.16s |  it's going for for most of it.
2602.16s - 2603.82s |  Right, and then the ending,
2605.04s - 2609.12s |  the ending I think was the nail in the coffin,
2609.12s - 2611.88s |  final nail in the coffin because it seems to build
2611.88s - 2615.04s |  to something and then the girl gets picked up
2615.04s - 2620.04s |  by a lady driving and she just starts talking.
2620.20s - 2621.04s |  Yes.
2621.04s - 2624.84s |  And she's talking about how her husband killed a bear.
2624.84s - 2626.38s |  There's some sort of thing where, yeah,
2626.38s - 2628.08s |  I think on a thematic level,
2628.08s - 2631.80s |  they're trying to compare the mindless killing slasher
2631.80s - 2634.24s |  to just a force of nature.
2634.24s - 2635.28s |  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2635.28s - 2638.28s |  A wild animal that just operates on instinct only.
2638.28s - 2639.56s |  But I feel like we're seeing that visually
2639.56s - 2640.96s |  throughout the whole movie.
2640.96s - 2642.64s |  Where you don't need a long monologue
2642.64s - 2644.20s |  at the end to drive it home.
2644.68s - 2647.12s |  It doesn't, that speech by the lady,
2647.12s - 2648.92s |  I believe the movie just ends.
2648.92s - 2650.72s |  Your girl looks out the window and we get a shot
2650.72s - 2652.84s |  of the forest, like is it there, is it there?
2652.84s - 2656.36s |  And then I interpret that as she sees,
2656.36s - 2660.88s |  now she sees this nightmare horror everywhere she looks.
2660.88s - 2664.38s |  And then that just, it means she's traumatized by this.
2664.38s - 2669.38s |  But the lady's 40 minute long dialogue scene is the monster.
2672.40s - 2673.96s |  She doesn't know about the killer, I don't think.
2674.04s - 2675.50s |  She's just talking about a bear.
2675.50s - 2678.76s |  But the purpose is that the monster is a force of nature.
2678.76s - 2681.18s |  It is just out for a specific thing.
2681.18s - 2683.40s |  Like a bear is out for food.
2683.40s - 2685.08s |  Maybe to protect its young, I don't know.
2685.08s - 2689.00s |  But a bear exists to kill for food and to protect.
2689.00s - 2692.00s |  A bear will kill you if it thinks you're a threat.
2692.00s - 2692.80s |  Blah, blah, blah.
2694.28s - 2699.00s |  That should have come to fruition in some way.
2699.00s - 2700.76s |  To where maybe this main character,
2700.76s - 2703.64s |  and maybe this is cliched, I don't know, not artistic.
2704.24s - 2705.72s |  But this is my brain.
2705.72s - 2709.28s |  I think of things in terms of beginning, middle, ends.
2709.28s - 2711.84s |  Satisfying conclusions, satisfying arcs.
2711.84s - 2713.92s |  I think of things in that term.
2713.92s - 2716.50s |  I'm the annoying guy who writes studio notes.
2717.40s - 2719.88s |  Who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.
2719.88s - 2722.48s |  Who tells the artist, don't do that.
2722.48s - 2723.88s |  Do this studio thing.
2723.88s - 2725.88s |  Now here's my studio note.
2725.88s - 2727.68s |  She is sitting in the car.
2727.68s - 2731.16s |  This lady talks about the grizzly bear for 25 minutes.
2731.16s - 2734.40s |  Then the lady, I don't know, has a heart attack
2734.40s - 2736.80s |  and falls out of her car and dies, crashes the car.
2736.80s - 2737.72s |  They see the monster.
2737.72s - 2738.56s |  Ah, what the fuck?
2738.56s - 2739.40s |  Crashes the car.
2739.40s - 2741.10s |  The lady flies through the window's debt.
2741.10s - 2742.40s |  We leave our main character there,
2742.40s - 2744.48s |  the killer standing in the road.
2744.48s - 2747.32s |  She's just been talked to about grizzly bears.
2747.32s - 2752.32s |  Now grizzly bear is like, oh, if it's brown, lay down.
2752.36s - 2753.80s |  If it's black, fight back.
2755.28s - 2756.72s |  If it's white, you're fucked.
2756.72s - 2759.04s |  You're not like polar bears.
2759.56s - 2761.60s |  There's some expression before.
2761.60s - 2764.36s |  There's some sort of like rules with bears.
2764.36s - 2765.52s |  I'm not an outdoorsman,
2765.52s - 2767.88s |  but I know there's something like that
2767.88s - 2771.52s |  where based on the type of bear you encounter.
2771.52s - 2774.46s |  So maybe she learns that lesson, you know?
2774.46s - 2777.20s |  And she's just like, this lady just talked
2777.20s - 2778.40s |  about grizzly bears for two hours.
2778.40s - 2781.84s |  I have to apply this knowledge to the finale of the movie.
2781.84s - 2784.34s |  Then there's also a joke.
2784.34s - 2787.20s |  You don't have to be faster than the grizzly bear.
2787.20s - 2790.28s |  You just have to be faster than your friend.
2790.28s - 2792.04s |  And so maybe the lady crashes the car
2792.04s - 2794.20s |  and the old lady gets out and she's like, what?
2794.20s - 2795.16s |  There's the guy.
2795.16s - 2796.96s |  So she just goes, takes off running
2796.96s - 2798.32s |  and they're both running.
2798.32s - 2800.44s |  And she, of course, outruns the old lady
2800.44s - 2802.44s |  and then the killer gets her.
2802.44s - 2804.76s |  And it would have been a subtle nod to that,
2804.76s - 2806.88s |  that funny expression when, you know,
2806.88s - 2808.32s |  maybe some people would have picked up on him,
2808.32s - 2810.60s |  but then she just keeps running while in the background.
2810.60s - 2813.12s |  He's just like hacking that old lady to death.
2814.04s - 2816.88s |  Two studio notes on how to finish the movie
2816.90s - 2820.20s |  with a slightly better ending than just cut to credits
2820.20s - 2821.48s |  after the old lady's talking.
2821.48s - 2824.00s |  I think the other option is just to be even more vague
2824.00s - 2824.88s |  than it was.
2824.88s - 2826.64s |  Cause there are these like hints at a story
2826.64s - 2828.96s |  that never come to fruition in the movie.
2828.96s - 2831.92s |  So just have it be completely killer's POV.
2831.92s - 2834.04s |  You just want to restructure the whole thing.
2834.04s - 2835.36s |  I mean, keep the same structure.
2835.36s - 2839.40s |  Just don't switch focus at that third act
2839.40s - 2841.20s |  where it starts to follow the girl
2842.10s - 2844.32s |  and also get rid of that campfire scene
2844.32s - 2845.48s |  where we're completely outside
2845.48s - 2848.52s |  of the killer's over his shoulder.
2848.52s - 2849.80s |  Yeah, I agree with you,
2849.80s - 2854.00s |  but I also see the danger in it becoming monotonous
2854.00s - 2857.76s |  and running out of steam with the one note concept,
2857.76s - 2859.92s |  like just endless walking.
2859.92s - 2861.78s |  Well, that's why I think this movie is more satisfying
2861.78s - 2864.72s |  as an experience than it is as any sort of narrative.
2864.72s - 2866.84s |  So it's like, yeah, just go all in with that then.
2866.84s - 2868.36s |  But it's still, I mean, it's impressive
2868.36s - 2871.92s |  that they hold it together as well as they do.
2872.16s - 2874.88s |  It's an interesting kind of take on.
2874.88s - 2878.08s |  I think, okay, I can agree with your perspective.
2878.08s - 2882.78s |  The first 65% of the movie is your Jason
2882.78s - 2884.80s |  in the Woods movie, right?
2884.80s - 2887.36s |  And he kills all the campers one after another.
2887.36s - 2889.36s |  And then eventually like there's 10 minutes
2889.36s - 2890.82s |  of him walking down a country road
2890.82s - 2892.68s |  and coming towards a town
2892.68s - 2895.06s |  and then just going through that town,
2895.06s - 2899.24s |  slash and slash and slash and then you see like cop cars
2899.24s - 2901.60s |  and they're just like endlessly shooting him.
2901.60s - 2903.88s |  And then the movie ends with him,
2903.88s - 2907.68s |  like he kind of wakes up and he looks up
2907.68s - 2909.00s |  and there's like, I don't know,
2909.00s - 2910.88s |  some new characters we've never seen before.
2910.88s - 2913.92s |  And they're like, you've got to do the ritual, Brian.
2913.92s - 2916.40s |  Is the ritual going to work?
2916.40s - 2917.76s |  I don't know, but it's all we got
2917.76s - 2920.20s |  because I found this book and my grandpa's attic.
2920.20s - 2922.92s |  And then he just goes, what?
2922.92s - 2924.72s |  Like, you know, some kind of plot thing
2924.72s - 2926.72s |  that happened off camera.
2926.72s - 2927.56s |  Oh, sure, yeah.
2927.56s - 2928.72s |  Where they developed some kind of way
2929.24s - 2932.96s |  to de-json him back to where he came from.
2932.96s - 2934.10s |  And we haven't heard this before
2934.10s - 2935.52s |  because we've been following the killer.
2935.52s - 2937.80s |  We don't know what, and then he starts reading
2937.80s - 2939.20s |  like in Latin out of a book
2939.20s - 2940.72s |  and there's like a lightening going on.
2940.72s - 2942.36s |  And then the killer's like,
2943.56s - 2945.00s |  and his vision starts getting blurry
2945.00s - 2946.16s |  because the curse is working.
2946.16s - 2949.36s |  And then the movie ends with just like dirt,
2949.36s - 2951.38s |  like covering the camera.
2951.38s - 2952.92s |  And then it just goes to black.
2952.92s - 2953.76s |  There you go.
2953.76s - 2956.56s |  So you go from the beginning to the end
2957.20s - 2959.72s |  and then your third act is just a fun sequence
2959.72s - 2962.78s |  where he's just like slaughtering everyone in the town.
2962.78s - 2964.24s |  He like busts into a church.
2964.24s - 2965.88s |  There's like a wedding happening.
2965.88s - 2966.88s |  Vroom, vroom.
2968.38s - 2970.48s |  Cops are shooting because you try the guns.
2970.48s - 2973.12s |  The guns never work because they just hit him.
2973.12s - 2976.64s |  And then the whole sequence of events leading up
2976.64s - 2979.04s |  to all the elements that would make up
2979.04s - 2983.04s |  a Friday the 13th plot, but it happens all off camera
2983.04s - 2985.64s |  because he's the killer and he's not aware of it.
2985.64s - 2987.68s |  So yeah, this is one of those movies
2987.68s - 2990.08s |  where you just want to like kind of fix it
2990.08s - 2994.60s |  or at least throw your horribly annoying studio notes
2994.60s - 2996.48s |  at the director who just disregards it
2996.48s - 2998.60s |  and says, I have my own vision.
2998.60s - 3001.08s |  And you say, okay, go for your own vision.
3001.08s - 3003.12s |  But it is a unique vision.
3003.12s - 3004.56s |  That goes along with some of the other things
3004.56s - 3005.92s |  we've talked about, the movies that feel
3005.92s - 3008.32s |  like unique and singular.
3008.32s - 3012.56s |  This falls into the movie you play at a Halloween party
3012.60s - 3014.20s |  where you don't want to, you know,
3014.20s - 3016.80s |  assemble a group of friends to sit down and watch it.
3016.80s - 3018.32s |  Or you got to pay attention to the plot.
3018.32s - 3019.16s |  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
3019.16s - 3020.56s |  It's just not in the background.
3020.56s - 3022.92s |  On your projector screen, in your backyard,
3022.92s - 3024.04s |  where your fire pit's going,
3024.04s - 3026.12s |  everyone's drinking pumpkin beer
3026.12s - 3028.68s |  and in a violent nature slam.
3028.68s - 3029.52s |  And that's it.
3038.70s - 3040.02s |  Who's six, you?
3041.18s - 3042.58s |  We're gonna be here all week.

 Half in the bag.
3.14s - 19.70s |  Hey Mike, did you notice what book I'm reading?
22.18s - 25.74s |  Yeah, and you know, that's property of Richard Simmons
33.79s - 39.67s |  Cuz he just simple-minded people of the world unite hold hands and bask in that
40.51s - 42.51s |  uncomplicated warmth of repetition
48.34s - 52.26s |  Director Tim Burton brings us the joy of emotionally and intellectually
52.90s - 56.66s |  unchallenging material with his new movie Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
57.26s - 63.82s |  Big checks for those who were in the first film smaller chucks for those who weren't barely anything for everyone else
64.14s - 69.62s |  We've moved past the remember this stage of grief and into the less dignified
70.22s - 73.10s |  sloppy second stage a stage
73.10s - 79.30s |  That's less exciting to behold but can usually be described with a resounding. Sure. Why not?
79.98s - 85.46s |  Does the movie work as a movie? Yes. Will I remember this movie in a week? No
86.54s - 94.55s |  Well, I remember this movie in a week is like the the coda of these legacy sequels
95.91s - 100.55s |  Although I do have to wonder is that a case of just because not just the original Beetlejuice rolled
100.63s - 104.15s |  Well, just because like people have seen those original movies, you know
104.95s - 106.31s |  Ghostbusters
106.31s - 110.99s |  Alien Beetlejuice, they've seen them a million times know them by heart
111.59s - 117.83s |  So when you see a movie like this, which I thought was okay, but yeah, am I gonna remember in a week?
117.83s - 119.91s |  I don't know. The reason why the three
120.63s - 125.23s |  Examples you gave are iconic and memorable is because they were original. Well, yes
125.23s - 132.15s |  And they were fresh and new and Beetlejuice was like, whoa, what's this craziness? My fucking goofy and weird
132.15s - 135.91s |  It's goofy and weird. It's strange. And then this is just another one
136.27s - 142.47s |  You know, I will say though compared to other movies that are coming out now a movie like this is a welcome reprieve
143.39s - 145.91s |  You were taking photos of all the the upcoming
146.47s - 150.67s |  Movies that were in the lobby of the theater and it's like gladiator 2
151.31s - 157.75s |  Looks like gladiator. I mean, how is this any different though? I let me just say I didn't hate this movie
157.75s - 161.83s |  I thought it was pretty good. I had laughed a bunch of times
161.83s - 169.79s |  There were many little little cute moments that were funny little just tiny touches, but I found the middle chunk very boring
169.79s - 171.79s |  I didn't really care for
173.27s - 179.83s |  Plot it it it just it kind of went through the I don't want to say like remember this
179.83s - 183.79s |  it wasn't that but no it hit those marks though that it had to and
184.43s - 190.47s |  When they when they started singing at the end like being compelled to sing I was like, oh, yeah, we haven't done that scene
195.56s - 198.60s |  We almost made it the whole way through the movie without doing that
198.88s - 203.88s |  And oh when Catherine O'Hara is doing the thing and she didn't do the seance thing
203.88s - 211.68s |  And she's doing the ritual in front like the influencers their faces being pulled into the phones was similar to when like
211.96s - 216.72s |  Baldwin's face or no, it's Gina Davis's face. Well, they both stretch. They both mutate their face. Yeah
216.72s - 220.80s |  Yeah, he just she peels her skin back and he stretches his nose or something like that
220.80s - 225.56s |  Yeah, and then you know, like they're just those little hallmarks that there was nothing fresh
226.44s - 229.28s |  Nothing except for maybe the corpse bride character
229.28s - 233.44s |  It had little moments everything that was good in it had nothing to do with like
233.64s - 239.88s |  Remember the original movie or had to do with the plot of this movie all the best stuff was the random like tangents
240.36s - 242.36s |  like the flashback
242.56s - 247.80s |  Which I saw the clip before the movie came out where they're kind of visually recreating Mario above as Black Sunday
247.92s - 248.84s |  and
248.84s - 252.64s |  We see Beetlejuice when he's still alive during the Black Plague and he's just like
252.96s - 258.68s |  Robin Graves like that whole flashback scene was visual and creative and nothing like anything in the first movie
259.04s - 264.68s |  There's a star that more that there's a stop-motion scene which explains why Jeffrey Jones isn't in the film
265.24s - 269.96s |  That is fun and creative a surprise that his character sticks around so much of it though
269.96s - 272.68s |  I figured they just get rid of him and that would be that well, yeah
273.24s - 279.24s |  For those of you who don't know Jeffrey Jones the dad from the original Beetlejuice the principal and Ferris Bueller's Day off
280.00s - 286.00s |  I I was like, I know something bad happened with him and I'm like, is he dead? Is he in prison?
286.00s - 288.06s |  I really didn't know I knew it was like
289.64s - 294.60s |  Related so I looked it up and he took some really explicit
295.60s - 297.60s |  I don't know if they were supposed to be like
298.64s - 300.72s |  Probably the boy was obviously
300.72s - 305.06s |  at him we're like and like, you know, obviously you got
310.97s - 315.01s |  And Jeffrey Jones is not in prison and he's still working
315.81s - 320.05s |  Occasionally gets a role in something there was like where he was in him like a movie and then
320.17s - 324.17s |  He was on the set and then the one the people in the city realized it
324.17s - 330.05s |  They like called the production and they like complained because there were flat families on the set and I'm sure I don't know
330.05s - 332.05s |  if he's a permanent like
332.29s - 334.29s |  s
334.29s - 335.97s |  o I
335.97s - 342.61s |  Mean he's registered as one. He's right. He's a permanent registered. S. Oh, I don't say the words. I know there's no I
344.25s - 350.53s |  He's a PDF file. Yeah, that's what the kids say now. Yeah, I don't want our video to become demonetized
350.53s - 352.53s |  I have to say say things that are
353.05s - 357.77s |  So yeah, I don't think I'm assuming that means he can't be around minors if he's a registered
357.85s - 363.29s |  S. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, I'm just assuming a lot of sets wouldn't want him on it. Anyway sex avengers
365.29s - 368.17s |  I don't know if that's what you want to say. That's what Robert Downey jr
370.57s - 377.45s |  Yeah, I have his character in the film and I think it's a little tongue-in-cheek in terms of the movie cuz he he gets his
377.45s - 378.45s |  entire
378.45s - 384.61s |  Top half of his body bitten off by a shark spends the whole movie running around with yeah completely missing from like here up
384.77s - 391.01s |  Yeah, it's visually funny and that's again. That's nothing like in the first movie. He's forced to live eternity as a half bitten off man
392.05s - 394.01s |  Bleeding from his neck
394.01s - 398.97s |  When Catherine O'Hara reunites with him at the end, she says look what happened to me. It's very funny
398.97s - 401.89s |  Yeah, Catherine O'Hara class act that that lady
401.89s - 407.01s |  Yeah, I mean everyone's good in it with maybe the exception of Justin Thoreau's a little kind of
407.93s - 412.69s |  Missing the comedy mark. He's a little noxious which is weird because I think he's pretty funny and stuff
412.69s - 417.57s |  He's worked with like the David Wayne what had American summer crew sure on a few things. He's very funny
417.57s - 423.57s |  Yeah, and this is right in his wheelhouse this type of character, but the character didn't work and there's just too many characters in general
424.25s - 429.53s |  There's so many subplots to this movie and I don't know why I know this is one of those movies
429.53s - 433.21s |  That was kind of like the idea of doing a Beetlejuice sequel has been around since the 90s
433.21s - 437.33s |  Like the famous one is they're gonna have Beetlejuice go to Hawaii for some reason
438.09s - 440.09s |  But this always feels like there's like multiple
440.45s - 445.99s |  Beetlejuice sequel scripts and they kind of took elements from different ones and cobbled together one movie
446.53s - 449.41s |  because like the the corpse bride stuff is so
450.17s - 454.61s |  Separate from everything else for most of the movie and then it's wrapped up so quickly at the end
455.21s - 458.95s |  the most interesting plot because it was so different than the original is
459.77s - 463.51s |  Jenna Ortega's relationship with the young boy that she meets in town
464.35s - 470.71s |  Yeah, that was and that felt very like classic Tim Burton like old like 80s early 90s kind of gothy Tim
470.71s - 475.35s |  Gert and Tim Burton without giving away what the subplot is. No people get it this I
475.67s - 477.51s |  Figured it out within five seconds
477.51s - 482.79s |  But it was still like that was so different than the plot to the original movie that that was kind of the most engaging
482.91s - 484.91s |  But then that also gets wrapped up
485.75s - 490.93s |  Instantly at the end. Yeah, no real conflict. It was like a too many villains kind of
491.45s - 497.13s |  Situation, you know the corpse, right and the kid you could have picked one or the other and and Willem Dafoe's running around
497.25s - 501.85s |  Yeah, that's one of those things. It's like Tim Burton probably just had this funny idea and wanted to put it in the movie
501.85s - 506.25s |  And it doesn't relate to anything. It is funny. He wasn't that necessary. No, he doesn't do it
506.25s - 508.25s |  He shows up at the end. It doesn't do anything
509.81s - 511.53s |  Just bizarre
511.53s - 515.69s |  Introduce all these things for no reason. I get I think I think it's just a lot of like
516.49s - 518.49s |  Tim Burton just
518.81s - 524.25s |  Unleash she's been because there is kind of a meta subplot in this movie with Winona Ryder's character
524.37s - 526.37s |  She's kind of the stand-in for Tim Burton
526.69s - 530.93s |  She's kind of become corporate and the sellout and lost her way lost her roots
530.93s - 537.73s |  And that's very much Tim Burton has been talking about that with like doing those like horrible Disney the ugliest movies
537.73s - 540.61s |  you've ever seen the Dumbo movie and
541.09s - 545.89s |  Allison wonderland like all these like really ugly like they even like
546.25s - 549.27s |  Mentioned Disney by name in this movie in a negative light, which is funny
549.81s - 554.81s |  But so it's easy to go back to your your roots after you sold out
554.81s - 558.73s |  I love that exactly, but that's what this feels like I didn't all that shit. I just want to make
558.73s - 561.23s |  a thousand square foot mansion in the Hollywood Hills
561.73s - 568.13s |  He doesn't have to make it up to me. I don't give a fuck. He's an artist though. He it's up for himself sure go ahead
569.17s - 575.21s |  This isn't this isn't the way to do that though. The way to do that is to make a wholly original movie
575.97s - 582.57s |  That's uncompromising. I know doesn't sell out. This is just that I just I just would have liked to see something new
582.93s - 587.09s |  That's not cringy because we saw the trailer for red one. Oh, yeah
587.53s - 594.01s |  Are you telling me this clown is a level four naughty lister a level four naughty lister?
594.01s - 599.57s |  What if it was an edgy Christmas movie? That was like a Marvel movie. Yeah. No, thank you
599.57s - 603.57s |  I was like, oh, this is not funny. Yeah, then Jack Black is there. I
604.41s - 606.41s |  I'm Steve
606.45s - 611.85s |  Any if you see a movie now with either Jack Black or The Rock in it, then you just run the other direction
612.41s - 616.57s |  Yeah, and that's the thing is like yes, this is a legacy Beetlejuice sequel
616.57s - 622.57s |  But at the same time there it is like more simple, especially compared to a lot of other recent Tim Burton movies
622.57s - 626.61s |  Yes, all the set design is great. The lighting is great. I
627.13s - 629.13s |  Agree, I would rather see him do another
629.65s - 635.37s |  Even he didn't direct Nightmare Before Christmas, but it was his idea. So something like that. It's just like an original idea
636.17s - 637.57s |  Something like that again
637.57s - 643.37s |  But that's why I feel like he tried to sprinkle as much original stuff throughout this that he could in the context of a legacy
643.37s - 648.33s |  Sequel, yes, I'm sure you could get it made easily in a studio system for that kind of movie it it
648.97s - 655.17s |  It was very good. It felt very throwback a lot of practical effects
655.17s - 658.47s |  So I was happy to see the sandworm was just a stop motion
658.47s - 664.21s |  Yeah thing and didn't look all fancy and there wasn't like a 25 minute sequence where everyone's running and
664.73s - 670.19s |  Sandworms are everywhere and they're riding surfboards on them and the trucks running through an explosion
673.81s - 680.73s |  Flies in and like a like a biplane and starts throwing bombs on them and then when own a rider throw throws her
681.33s - 683.49s |  Parasol up there and hooks on to the
684.21s - 688.09s |  The biplane and grabs her daughter and her daughter grabs Catherine O'Hara
688.09s - 693.41s |  And they have to throw throw like a bomb inside the big sand worms mouth and explode
693.41s - 697.37s |  You know, it wasn't like you know how that goes. Oh, you know exactly what I'm describing
697.37s - 697.85s |  Oh, yeah
697.85s - 702.93s |  It was just I can see the whole movie a little set a little church set and that's how kind of the movie end with
702.93s - 706.65s |  Some music and jokes and classic like rubber
707.33s - 711.09s |  Shrunken head man. Yeah, we who now have ten brothers
711.09s - 717.69s |  They're all like because the shrunken head man was memorable from the first one. It's like retro 90s Tim Burton all the all the
718.21s - 721.77s |  The like netherworld sets or like practical sets
721.77s - 724.85s |  They're not Tim Burton where they extend into oblivion
725.21s - 731.61s |  just gigantic open voids that all of his more recent movies look like and not really not even really in like a like a
731.61s - 735.29s |  Precious or like nostalgic way just in like it's just nice to see sets
735.77s - 738.93s |  Utilitarian are and yeah, and they're creative the lighting's nice
738.93s - 741.85s |  There's all those you know Tim Burton loves is like weird angles
741.85s - 745.93s |  Yeah, like the reception area when you die and you wait and you take a ticket, right? Yeah
746.53s - 751.77s |  They have like six people waiting in chairs. I remember this like the guy smoking right in the first one
751.77s - 756.05s |  Oh, it's like it's just like depressing. Yeah, you want a cigarette? Oh, no
756.41s - 760.04s |  I'm trying to cut down myself
760.04s - 764.00s |  You could mundane which is funny as a contrast
764.00s - 770.08s |  yeah, modern Tim Burton probably was like frothing at the mouth to take that particular scenario and
770.28s - 776.12s |  Have like the numbers go on for like two miles and the camera pan line of people goes on
776.12s - 776.56s |  Yeah
776.56s - 781.80s |  then it goes up like this and there's like floors and floors and floors and floors and the line goes for like
782.52s - 788.96s |  7000 miles and there's like millions of the camera pans off and just goes up into infinity, you know
789.52s - 792.88s |  But it was still the same little waiting room. Yeah, and that works so much better
793.28s - 796.80s |  So that would be something I would be complaining about if he did do it bigger
796.96s - 798.96s |  Yes, I didn't need to you know
799.08s - 805.72s |  So if you like a Beetlejuice I then and see that's my thing is like I wasn't like the biggest fan of Beetlejuice
805.72s - 811.96s |  Hmm. It was kind of like a movie. I saw as a kid like couple times and that's kind of surprising because we've we did a
811.96s - 815.72s |  Review of Pee-wee's big adventure love that love we both love Pee-wee's big adventure for me
815.72s - 821.20s |  Beetlejuice was always like pretty much on par with it. I don't know why I just didn't watch it as much like that would
821.80s - 823.00s |  Pee-wee
823.00s - 829.32s |  Edward Scissorhands like I watched all those a lot Batman all the old Tim Burton movies and this a bill just not so much
829.32s - 831.32s |  I don't know why they just
832.48s - 838.52s |  Didn't strike a chord with me. I still think it's good. Basically trying to say I'm not a huge Beetlejuice fan
839.04s - 842.44s |  And he thought the new one was okay. I thought it was was pretty good
842.44s - 847.84s |  I enjoyed it and I love the original Beetlejuice and I thought the new one was pretty okay
848.84s - 850.28s |  So it all evens out
850.28s - 856.00s |  But yeah, I mean if you like Beetlejuice and you really really like that movie and you want to go see another one
856.32s - 860.84s |  This is it. That is why I won't do two shows a night anymore, babe
860.84s - 864.16s |  I won't I won't do the best I can say for it is it's not
864.68s - 867.52s |  well one it doesn't do it's not doesn't pull like the
868.28s - 875.00s |  Ghostbusters afterlife taking things from the original movie and making it like small see there's no like like 15
875.56s - 878.76s |  Beauty close-ups of the book. Yeah. Yeah, there's not that shit
878.76s - 882.80s |  It's just just as like irreverent and goofy and pointless as the original movie, right?
883.64s - 884.64s |  So that's good
884.64s - 886.64s |  and like I said all the best stuff in it is
886.92s - 891.20s |  The newer things and there's plenty of that mixed in with the kind of stuff
891.20s - 896.20s |  They felt like I guess they had to do again, even though a reveal of Beetlejuice was fairly like
896.88s - 899.48s |  Not not high right. It just got to him there
899.48s - 901.56s |  Yeah, cut to a minute the cameras like behind him
901.56s - 905.68s |  And he just kind of kind of camera kind of turns around and he's like at his desk. He's like, okay
905.68s - 912.08s |  I'm gonna go back to work. Yeah, so yeah, there's real just yeah, like I said the mundanity of the afterlife
912.80s - 919.36s |  Yeah, so you could have done that much more annoying. This was less annoying. We're very unhappy
920.12s - 922.12s |  What did you expect you did?
923.36s - 928.00s |  They also could have capitalized it's interesting because the reason this was made is because of the
928.52s - 935.92s |  Recent kind of popularity of Jenna Ortega. She did that at a Wednesday show for Netflix with Tim Burton and that blew up
936.44s - 938.44s |  And it had a viral tick-tock dance
939.44s - 941.74s |  And so it's like the success of that
945.12s - 951.20s |  So the success of that show is what led to finally like a Beetlejuice movie being made and when it got to that ending
951.20s - 956.84s |  Where they're doing the all the characters singing the song I was like, oh she's gonna do another dance cuz that's the thing
957.20s - 963.64s |  She didn't really a couple of little choreographed moves with Catherine O'Hara. That was it speaking of Wednesday and
964.52s - 966.52s |  Tim Burton and
966.80s - 971.64s |  Controversy I vaguely recall I found a certain part in this movie kind of tasteless and weird
972.32s - 976.84s |  And then I remember the controversy with the Wednesday show when someone said, you know
976.88s - 980.28s |  Brought attention to the fact that the show didn't have any black people in it
980.80s - 985.80s |  And Tim Burton's like well, there's no black people in it because I don't want any black people in it
985.96s - 992.80s |  I don't gotta put every kind of race and gender in my fucking shit. I don't want to that like that happened
993.04s - 996.24s |  Yeah, I don't think it was quite that crass, but he was something like that
996.24s - 1000.60s |  yeah, but in this that they had they made a joke of the soul train and
1001.56s - 1004.72s |  Yeah, and it's just like those are the only black characters of the movie
1005.72s - 1012.92s |  Disco, it's a bunch of dead black people like dancing. That part was a little it seemed very dated
1013.36s - 1018.72s |  Yeah, it's yeah, it seemed like a bit you would see from a 90s movie where they have just like
1019.76s - 1024.96s |  Black people in afros like disco dancing because it's soul train. Yeah, I don't know
1025.48s - 1031.36s |  And anyone that's going to see this movie because they're like a younger person that likes the Wednesday Adam show likes Jenna Ortega
1031.36s - 1033.36s |  They're not gonna know what the fuck any of that is
1034.12s - 1040.92s |  That's a joke for the older folks. I suppose. Oh, ha ha ha the soul train I get it another weird sort of controversy
1040.92s - 1042.48s |  I was thinking of during this
1042.56s - 1046.80s |  Willem Dafoe's character in the real world and when he was alive
1046.80s - 1051.00s |  He was an actor that play it was famous for playing a cop. So the joke is that in the underworld?
1051.00s - 1055.44s |  He's now a cop and he died on set in a horrible accident
1056.44s - 1058.96s |  Involving I was a grenade not a gun
1059.08s - 1062.88s |  Yeah, but I was thinking like Alec Baldwin was in the original movie
1063.20s - 1067.48s |  Yeah, that's sort of a sort of awkward. It's a stretch a bit of a stretch
1067.48s - 1071.66s |  But I was something I was thinking about right. I was also thinking about one of the earlier scenes
1072.48s - 1075.36s |  It's when they're at the funeral. I don't know why this scene
1075.36s - 1078.04s |  I think it's cuz it was a boring scene my mind my mind wandered
1078.12s - 1083.04s |  But they're at the funeral for Jeffrey Jones character and Justin Thoreau comes up to Jenna Ortega and he's talking to her
1083.04s - 1088.72s |  He's doing like his fake concern. He's like I wrote a poem. She's like, oh, yeah, what about I needed write a poem
1088.76s - 1094.08s |  But during that scene I was thinking about like I wonder who on set had to explain to Jenna Ortega
1094.08s - 1096.08s |  Why Jeffrey Jones isn't in the movie
1096.52s - 1098.60s |  And why Justin Thoreau's hitting on her?
1099.08s - 1102.20s |  He's not hitting on her he's trying to be like a father figure
1102.20s - 1106.88s |  I I took it as he was he was wanted sexual advances from her
1106.88s - 1110.64s |  I don't think anyone owned a writer for the money. I mean, he was yeah, he was a phony
1110.64s - 1117.16s |  I just like to be that very special dad that you need I I guess that's one way to look at I read it
1117.16s - 1122.28s |  Is that but either way I was just chuckling to myself imagining someone explained to the youngest cast member
1122.28s - 1125.48s |  Why one of the famous original cast members isn't around anymore?
1128.60s - 1131.00s |  Yeah, baby little rubber puppet. That was fun
1131.40s - 1138.16s |  Look, just like the baby from Peter Jackson's dead alive little zombie baby from that. I guess that's a sequel bait
1138.16s - 1144.94s |  I mean you make a movie called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. You have to make a third one, right? Is that what they're banking on? Well
1145.80s - 1152.48s |  Yeah, Catherine O'Hara's out though. She's I'm out. Well, no one's really necessarily out in this universe
1152.48s - 1155.88s |  That's true, but they got a lesser Jeffrey Jones. Well, they got on the soul train at the end
1156.24s - 1161.24s |  That takes them away to you know out of the the it's like the
1162.00s - 1165.88s |  Purgatory like yeah, I guess so the soul train takes you to your final destination
1165.88s - 1172.04s |  so I would imagine they're she's gonna be like, yeah, they have one brief offhand mention of Gina Davis and
1172.40s - 1176.32s |  Alec Baldwin from the first movie why they're not in this one. This is like a hand wave
1176.32s - 1182.44s |  Well, you know Alec Baldwin would have and Gina Davis both have aged. Well, let's see they couldn't play
1182.44s - 1189.32s |  That's the real-world reason but in the story just they found a loophole to get out of purgatory if this was directed by
1189.88s - 1194.84s |  Jason Reitman, it would be they would be glowing and there would be like a CGI version of them and then
1196.04s - 1203.80s |  You'd have a very like emotional and saccharine reunion between them and Winona Ryder Lydia Dietz. Yeah, this would be like
1206.44s - 1208.88s |  We know you'll make the right choice Lydia
1209.72s - 1211.88s |  We know you can raise your daughter
1212.52s - 1214.52s |  to be a
1214.64s - 1219.56s |  Brilliant person to be a good person. I don't be like
1220.64s - 1222.04s |  They didn't do that
1222.04s - 1226.60s |  Tim Burton made the right right decisions making this movie and that and that's why like because of the tone of it
1226.60s - 1233.78s |  That's why all the like overstuffed subplots don't really matter that much because it's all just an excuse for like goofy shit
1234.52s - 1236.86s |  And I think people like because I love the original movie
1236.86s - 1240.84s |  But I think people kind of ignore the fact that the third act of that movie is also very rushed
1241.24s - 1245.36s |  The whole like plot line of Lydia having to marry Beetlejuice is introduced
1245.68s - 1252.28s |  Like five seconds before it happens in the third act of that movie and then yeah Gina Davis comes in on the sandworm in that
1252.28s - 1255.36s |  And that eats Beetlejuice that kind of comes out of nowhere
1255.92s - 1258.80s |  Like that original movie is kind of a mess too. It's a FOD mess
1260.28s - 1264.28s |  Speaking of canceled people. It was a little surprised to see Danny Elfman come back to do the score
1264.28s - 1269.88s |  Oh, I wanted to mention I guess his controversies too under the radar and maybe didn't go anywhere
1269.88s - 1271.88s |  I don't know what happened with that. What did he do?
1272.36s - 1274.36s |  It's supposedly like
1277.20s - 1283.36s |  Young or something. Oh, that's right. Yeah, like a young I can't keep up with all the controversies a young
1284.88s - 1286.88s |  Orchestral student. Yeah
1288.20s - 1290.20s |  Study my skin flute techniques
1290.60s - 1296.80s |  So what yeah, okay, but I don't know whatever happened with that, but it wasn't like I think it was just here
1296.80s - 1299.36s |  Oh, he paid her $800,000
1300.52s - 1306.64s |  I remember that figure. Oh my god. I could be wrong, but look it up. Okay. It was like it settled out of court
1306.64s - 1311.80s |  I guess you can still do worse in Hollywood and still have a career. So yes. Yes, that's true. That's true
1311.80s - 1316.28s |  I think he plays his goofy circus music in the background while he takes advantage of these young girls
1316.80s - 1318.80s |  boom-boom
1320.48s - 1326.22s |  I don't know but I do
1326.22s - 1330.14s |  Think the Beetlejuice theme is maybe my favorite piece of music playing
1330.22s - 1333.56s |  It's it's my favorite. Maybe my favorite theme from any movie
1334.10s - 1341.18s |  And it was nice to see a proper long opening. Yeah title sequence and I think they read they redid the music
1341.18s - 1343.18s |  Oh, they did he ended like a fair man. It was nice
1344.18s - 1349.42s |  Music it didn't the rest of the music didn't stand out as much that opening theme was yeah, that was solid
1349.42s - 1352.18s |  It had more instruments and more depth and
1352.82s - 1356.78s |  Yeah, it's a little more like Basie fills up that Dolby Atmos sound mix
1357.78s - 1363.30s |  But I noticed like even movies that like throwback movies like the David Gordon Green Halloween movies
1363.30s - 1367.02s |  They kind of had an opening because the original Halloween you have the opening pumpkin
1367.50s - 1371.78s |  So the the David Gordon Green movies had that almost like out of obligation, but they were like
1372.58s - 1377.38s |  Expedited they were over in like 30 seconds. Yes pumpkin is the title. Sorry. Let's get it over with
1378.34s - 1381.56s |  Yeah, they were very very quick compared to the original
1382.48s - 1393.00s |  Tic toque
1393.60s - 1394.72s |  I
1394.72s - 1399.66s |  Introduced some new little fun bits. I did like seeing his backstory like that's cute. Yeah
1399.88s - 1403.32s |  And the corpse bride character. I wish that was more developed
1403.56s - 1406.36s |  That was such a like her introduction a plot is great
1406.52s - 1408.02s |  Like when she's putting herself back together
1408.02s - 1410.96s |  She's stapling to the beat of the music like that was great
1410.96s - 1414.22s |  And then she has like three or four other scenes that are the exact same scene
1414.48s - 1419.60s |  Where she comes in and there's a character that's not in any other scene in the movie and she says where's Beatle juice?
1420.08s - 1425.48s |  And then sucks their life out of them, and then she leaves.
1425.48s - 1431.20s |  I think I heard this may, I don't know, have something to do with it, but I think Michael
1431.20s - 1435.22s |  Keaton said he'll do Beetlejuice too, but he doesn't want to be in the movie more than
1435.22s - 1436.22s |  like 15 minutes.
1436.22s - 1437.80s |  Well, that's what he's in the original movie.
1437.80s - 1439.16s |  That was his logic.
1439.16s - 1440.16s |  Yeah.
1440.16s - 1441.16s |  So a...
1441.16s - 1445.76s |  When Beetlejuice isn't on screen, everyone should be asking where's Beetlejuice.
1445.76s - 1450.80s |  So that might have to do with like, because him and the Corpse Bride, like a backstory,
1450.80s - 1455.84s |  lots of flashbacks of, you know, their courtship and then the betrayal and all that.
1455.84s - 1457.88s |  And they end up with too much Beetlejuice.
1457.88s - 1463.00s |  If it was like a reverse thing where Beetlejuice needed Winona Ryder's help, you know, instead
1463.00s - 1464.00s |  of vice versa.
1464.00s - 1465.00s |  Yeah.
1465.00s - 1468.24s |  It could have been more, and then you just, I don't know, either not have Jenna Ortega
1468.24s - 1469.24s |  in it or have her in it.
1469.24s - 1470.84s |  Well, you got to put Jenna Ortega in it.
1470.84s - 1471.84s |  She's the draw to this movie.
1471.84s - 1474.60s |  I know, I know, but figure out a different...
1474.60s - 1475.84s |  Find out Justin Theroux.
1475.84s - 1476.84s |  Get him out of the movie.
1476.84s - 1477.84s |  Yeah.
1477.84s - 1481.74s |  Have her just help her mom and, you know, learn the way a ghost or something, and then
1481.74s - 1484.16s |  just drop the kid plot.
1484.16s - 1485.16s |  Yeah.
1485.16s - 1487.88s |  Which is also unfortunate because that was one of the more interesting storylines.
1487.88s - 1488.88s |  One or the other.
1488.88s - 1489.88s |  Pick one or the other, yeah.
1489.88s - 1495.56s |  But I think maybe their lack of Michael Keaton commitment forced them to kind of add a secondary
1495.56s - 1496.56s |  plot.
1496.56s - 1497.56s |  I guess.
1497.56s - 1500.80s |  Because, yeah, they're lacking that the original movie is so simple where it's about Alec Baldwin
1500.80s - 1504.88s |  and Gina Davis, and there you're sort of like entrance into this world.
1504.88s - 1506.12s |  They get all the exposition.
1506.12s - 1509.20s |  They're learning it as the audience is learning it.
1509.20s - 1510.20s |  And now all that's out of the way.
1510.20s - 1512.56s |  We know about the ghost realm or whatever.
1512.56s - 1513.56s |  So...
1513.56s - 1514.56s |  Yeah.
1514.56s - 1515.56s |  You can't really do that again.
1515.56s - 1520.16s |  You don't want to have it be the Jenna Ortega characters, basically the same as Winona Ryder's
1520.16s - 1521.52s |  character in the first movie.
1521.52s - 1525.56s |  So now you have heard, as the one that doesn't believe in ghosts, says, eh, they did what
1525.56s - 1526.56s |  they could.
1526.56s - 1531.40s |  The fun of the discovery of the world is gone.
1531.40s - 1532.40s |  Yes.
1532.40s - 1535.08s |  Which is a great starting point for a movie.
1535.08s - 1537.88s |  That's why I think Beetlejuice goes to Hawaii.
1537.88s - 1539.28s |  That's like a proper sequel.
1539.28s - 1541.96s |  That's just like, do something totally different.
1541.96s - 1542.96s |  Yeah.
1542.96s - 1547.04s |  I guess the idea is that it would be kind of inspired by those 60s beach movies.
1547.04s - 1548.04s |  Sure.
1548.04s - 1550.24s |  Beach blanket bingo, but with Beetlejuice in it.
1550.24s - 1551.24s |  Sure.
1551.24s - 1554.80s |  You could start building the Beetlejuice lore, you know?
1554.80s - 1558.60s |  You're going to make Beetlejuice too, Beetlejuice goes to Hawaii, and then the corpse bride
1558.60s - 1561.56s |  comes and gets them when he's hula dancing.
1561.56s - 1563.20s |  It's just like, whatever.
1563.20s - 1564.20s |  Just tries to...
1564.20s - 1565.20s |  They have to get married.
1565.20s - 1568.60s |  So you could be doing the hula dance, and then her arms detach, and they keep floating
1568.60s - 1569.60s |  like this?
1569.60s - 1570.60s |  Yeah, sure.
1570.60s - 1571.60s |  Yeah.
1571.60s - 1575.20s |  And then they have to get married on a volcano while it's erupting, and it's like...
1575.20s - 1576.92s |  Someone has to throw Beetlejuice into the volcano.
1576.92s - 1577.92s |  Yeah.
1577.92s - 1578.92s |  Winona Ryder's not even in it.
1578.92s - 1582.08s |  They do want to go back to the little town, winter peak.
1582.08s - 1583.08s |  Winter River.
1583.08s - 1584.08s |  Yeah.
1584.36s - 1585.36s |  Just something wild.
1585.36s - 1586.36s |  Well, now it's like...
1586.36s - 1588.80s |  I mean, the original Beetlejuice is 1988.
1588.80s - 1592.04s |  So much time has passed, and that movie is so...
1592.04s - 1596.38s |  I guess it spans generations, because it's, like I said, it's always in the spirit Halloween.
1596.38s - 1597.38s |  People love that movie.
1597.38s - 1598.72s |  So it's like, you got to get...
1598.72s - 1601.92s |  A new one has to be more of the same to get people...
1601.92s - 1604.56s |  Those warm and fuzzy feelings have seen the original.
1604.56s - 1606.20s |  You can't go crazy with it.
1606.20s - 1607.20s |  It's better than...
1607.20s - 1609.60s |  And I'm not even a big fan of the first movie, but there's...
1609.60s - 1615.08s |  People younger than us love Hocus Pocus with Bette Midler, and Disney Plus did a sequel
1615.08s - 1619.48s |  to that a couple years ago, and that's like, nobody ever mentions that movie anymore.
1619.48s - 1621.28s |  That just came and went.
1621.28s - 1624.12s |  And that's like, it's the exact same movie.
1624.12s - 1626.64s |  So this one, they vary it up.
1626.64s - 1631.60s |  They tried to play it safe while still adding in enough fun little details to where it wouldn't
1631.60s - 1633.76s |  feel completely stale.
1633.76s - 1635.24s |  They tried.
1635.24s - 1636.84s |  They were kind of successful at it.
1636.84s - 1637.84s |  They were pretty successful.
1638.00s - 1639.64s |  Pretty successful at it.
1639.64s - 1640.64s |  It's a good...
1640.64s - 1644.68s |  It's like a B plus, you know.
1644.68s - 1646.76s |  There wasn't enough in it to get me excited.
1646.76s - 1647.76s |  There's a couple...
1647.76s - 1652.12s |  I mean, obviously, the ideas did not have Beetlejuice in it too much, but every time
1652.12s - 1657.60s |  he does pop up on screen, he makes Monona Ryder instantly get pregnant and the baby
1657.60s - 1658.60s |  spills out.
1658.60s - 1661.32s |  He's kicking the baby around the room.
1661.32s - 1663.32s |  All that stuff is like the energy.
1663.32s - 1669.20s |  It comes to life in a way that the more family-oriented scenes feel a little more belabored.
1669.20s - 1670.20s |  I don't know.
1670.20s - 1671.20s |  The whole middle of the movie?
1671.20s - 1673.28s |  The whole middle of the movie, basically.
1673.28s - 1683.28s |  Jenna Ortega's character said she's the leader of the climate change group at her college.
1683.28s - 1685.20s |  And so I was like, well, that's an interesting little line.
1685.20s - 1688.28s |  Is that going to come back later?
1688.28s - 1689.28s |  Not just...
1689.28s - 1690.28s |  I'm busy.
1690.28s - 1691.28s |  I'm studying for finals or something like that.
1691.28s - 1692.28s |  Very specific thing.
1692.28s - 1696.84s |  And I thought at the end, you know, Beetlejuice was going to start emitting green gas out
1696.84s - 1701.92s |  of his ass and say, you're ruining the environment.
1701.92s - 1707.24s |  Here's what I think of climate change.
1707.24s - 1708.24s |  Something something.
1708.24s - 1709.24s |  Yeah, there's stuff like that.
1709.24s - 1716.12s |  Like the contrast between the environmentalists and like the corporate sellout mom, it feels
1716.12s - 1718.64s |  very dated in 90s.
1718.64s - 1720.28s |  There's a lot of that in this movie.
1720.28s - 1725.44s |  A lot of like 90s nostalgia, too, like with some of the needle drops, this is just Tim
1725.44s - 1729.24s |  Burton looking back at his past and saying, I miss the 80s and 90s.
1729.24s - 1733.24s |  He shot himself in the dick for cash.
1733.24s - 1734.24s |  Like Jack Black.
1734.24s - 1735.24s |  Yeah, yeah.
1735.24s - 1736.24s |  That big clown.
1736.24s - 1738.56s |  Jack Black is the ultimate sellout clown.
1738.56s - 1741.24s |  That trailer, I thought it was a prank.
1741.24s - 1744.00s |  I am Steve.
1744.00s - 1747.08s |  The Minecraft trailer that looks like a Super Bowl ad.
1747.08s - 1748.08s |  Yes.
1748.08s - 1749.08s |  Yes.
1749.08s - 1752.84s |  I mean, you know, I'm not going to watch Minecraft.
1752.84s - 1756.04s |  The movie, we're not going to review it.
1756.04s - 1757.04s |  I'll never see it.
1757.04s - 1759.48s |  I'll go to my grave never seeing it.
1759.48s - 1763.30s |  And maybe little kids out there who like Minecraft will enjoy it.
1763.30s - 1764.60s |  And I'm very happy for them.
1764.60s - 1766.16s |  So I have no place to complain.
1766.16s - 1767.64s |  I don't have to watch it.
1767.64s - 1769.96s |  It's not government mandate that I watch Minecraft.
1769.96s - 1773.04s |  Well, we'll see what happens after the next election.
1773.04s - 1776.22s |  Oh, maybe that will be mandate.
1776.22s - 1784.98s |  But just the mere existence of it and just the business climate of these kind of big
1784.98s - 1785.98s |  movies.
1785.98s - 1789.94s |  I just picture like the corporate boardroom being like, now we got to do the Minecraft
1789.94s - 1790.94s |  movie.
1790.94s - 1792.26s |  Like no one's excited about it.
1792.26s - 1794.74s |  They just know they have to do it.
1794.74s - 1797.22s |  Do they take like a file out of a filing cabinet?
1797.22s - 1801.90s |  Jones, we're assigning you to the Minecraft movie.
1801.90s - 1803.34s |  You've got the Minecraft account.
1803.34s - 1807.70s |  You, Jones, Johnson, Rogers, here.
1807.70s - 1808.70s |  Get to work.
1808.70s - 1809.70s |  All right.
1809.70s - 1813.26s |  Where do we start?
1813.26s - 1818.92s |  I think the most depressing like credit I've ever seen in a movie was during the trailer
1818.92s - 1826.18s |  for that red one movie where it says, from the director of Jumanji, welcome to the jungle.
1826.18s - 1829.34s |  That's the saddest string of words I've ever heard.
1829.34s - 1838.34s |  The only movie the studio gave me complete control on was Jumanji, welcome to the jungle.
1838.34s - 1841.90s |  I wanted Jack Black to play a Mexican.
1841.90s - 1848.66s |  I'm supposed to do a thriller at Universal, but they want Charlton Heston to play a Mexican.
1848.66s - 1851.90s |  I wanted Jack Black to be funny.
1851.90s - 1856.38s |  I wanted the Rock to play a little girl.
1856.38s - 1859.46s |  My Orson Wellson's like Lauren Michaels.
1859.46s - 1861.14s |  I'm sorry, folks.
1861.14s - 1863.26s |  No one knows who either of those people are.
1863.26s - 1865.06s |  You should apologize to both of them.
1865.06s - 1866.90s |  I apologize to both of them.
1866.90s - 1874.66s |  See, I'm willing to do the work.
1874.66s - 1877.62s |  So J, would you recommend this film?
1877.62s - 1880.18s |  Is this an in-home watch?
1880.18s - 1882.18s |  I would say so, yeah.
1882.18s - 1885.62s |  Although it was kind of nice, even though the movie was kind of a mess.
1885.62s - 1890.50s |  Once that opening Danny Elfman music hit in the theater and it was so loud and bombastic,
1890.50s - 1894.06s |  it got a little bit of my nostalgia tingling in a good way.
1894.06s - 1895.06s |  Yeah.
1895.06s - 1896.06s |  I was like, this is nice.
1896.06s - 1900.98s |  It felt like watching an old Tim Burton movie in the theater, a little nostalgic vibe going
1900.98s - 1901.98s |  on.
1901.98s - 1902.98s |  Yeah.
1902.98s - 1903.98s |  And not in a manipulative way.
1903.98s - 1904.98s |  No.
1904.98s - 1906.42s |  This is just kind of classic Tim Burton stuff.
1906.42s - 1911.06s |  Yes, not in a remember this kind of way, an annoying remember this kind of way, just sort
1911.06s - 1916.70s |  of like a general, like, we're making another movie that's kind of like the older ones and
1916.70s - 1919.30s |  not super manipulative or gross or anything.
1919.30s - 1924.30s |  So yeah, I'd say either or, if you're really interested in watching it, go watch it in
1924.30s - 1925.30s |  the theater.
1925.30s - 1926.70s |  If you could wait, you could wait.
1926.70s - 1929.30s |  If you don't like the original, then definitely don't see it.
1929.30s - 1930.30s |  If you, yeah, if you hate it.
1930.30s - 1933.50s |  If you've never seen the original, definitely see it.
1933.50s - 1935.34s |  You won't be confused at all.
1935.34s - 1939.45s |  What the ****?
1939.45s - 1948.36s |  Look at, ****, I'm going home.

  "description": "Movies. What is they? A series of images accompanied by sound and music to tell a story. Who makes them? Artists? Clowns? Men and/or Women? Beef?  A.I.s will soon make them and everything else and that's when the wars start. Save antibiotics and anti-radiation pills. Invest in canned food and shotguns. Build a fence around your property with barbed wire even though your elderly neighbors tell you it's an \"eye sore\". Tell them, \"First A.I.s will make an episode of Spongebob Squarepants and next they'll be coming to harvest your organs for Chinese billionaire gangsters on the black market through the dark web\". I found the site already. It's called www.crackerguts.com. On the site is a photo of my fat face with a caption that reads: We want everything but your liver. But I digress. Today Mike and Jar went BACK to the Monkeypox filled movie theaters to watch \"Strange Darling\", the new film starring Kyle Gallner (pronounced Gouwlinger) and others. Strange Darling is a weird, erotic, violent, indie-love story gone awry with the stench of mental illness and emotional manipulation. You could say it's the story of my childhood minus the broken shin bone that occurred in the back of a Pacer after we were hit by a drunk driver named \"Ted Danson\". \nKyle Gallner and Willa Fitzgerald light the screen on fire with performances that'll make you sh*t your trousers with last night's beans. Intense, bold, and shocking with lots of twists and turns, Strange Darling will keep you guessing and entertained the whole time. Unless two fly over apes from Milwaukee spoiled it for you. They tried to spoil not much. As little as possible and there are warnings, so pay attention. Just go see the movie, then watch the FULL review for fun. I support indie films. I mean, I don't support Tubi indie films like \"VelcoSharktoClown\" and trash like that, but real indie films that take care and effort to try to make something good, well yeah we support that. Maybe all the people that worked on this movie are huge as*h*les. I have no idea, but when it comes to sitting my fat a** down on a theater seat stained with dried cheese, if the movie shows me something, anything new and interesting I'm all for it. Overall the movie gets an F-",

 Half in the bag. Oh get some acting chops. Yes. Yeah
31.05s - 37.43s |  Yes, hello Disney I was very disappointed in the acolyte and I hope you don't make more of them
38.05s - 47.88s |  Goodbye. Oh my god, it works Disney just canceled the acolyte
48.72s - 50.72s |  What
50.72s - 54.78s |  Well, maybe we do have some sway
55.58s - 65.03s |  Who do you want to cancel not movies are back? That's right kids on this episode. We saw the indie darling feature film
65.03s - 69.67s |  We've been waiting to see for over a year now the soft reboot of the crow
70.27s - 77.55s |  Star oh wait. Sorry. We saw strange darling the new film starring America's favorite son and
77.91s - 81.19s |  Jay's brother from another mother Kyle Galner
82.35s - 90.75s |  but strange darling really stars willa Fitzgerald in a powerhouse performance as the other half of a
90.75s - 98.27s |  hurting loving choking chasing and shooting couple of love crazed and confused fools
99.43s - 100.59s |  whoa
100.59s - 102.11s |  need a
102.11s - 105.23s |  You light-headed now to put a period in these sentences
105.23s - 112.39s |  But strange darling really stars willa Fitzgerald in a powerhouse performance as the other half of a hurtin
112.63s - 119.87s |  loving choking chasing and shooting couple of love crazed and confused fools run amok in this
119.87s - 125.75s |  Wild and truly strange film from director J T Mahler, you know
125.75s - 129.71s |  I'd like to see we've been saying Galner and I think everyone in the world says Galner
129.71s - 132.15s |  Yeah, cuz well, how do you spell gal?
133.27s - 136.95s |  G-a-l would how would you spell call g-a-l-l? Yes?
136.95s - 139.63s |  I don't know if the man knows how to say his own name, right?
139.63s - 142.43s |  And I don't think anybody has had the nerve to tell him
142.43s - 148.35s |  Oh, so no just nobody corrected him on how to say his own name correctly. Yeah, I don't know many such cases
150.43s - 152.63s |  What you know you asked for this right
153.59s - 175.46s |  Here we are. It's a it's a it's a it's a beautiful day in Milwaukee 75 degrees sunny beautiful
176.06s - 181.14s |  I would make a joke that it's a bad idea to go sit in a movie theater. But today it was a good day
182.10s - 186.10s |  Especially since in this case we didn't have to worry about other people in the theater
187.06s - 191.02s |  Yes, that's true. That's gonna be a big part of our discussion is
191.62s - 195.30s |  Because we did a video at the beginning of summer called the death of movie theaters
196.06s - 198.30s |  and in that video we talked about
198.94s - 200.94s |  movie theaters should
200.94s - 202.78s |  cut back on
202.78s - 204.50s |  screens showing
204.54s - 210.30s |  Deadpool and Wolverine and throw in some indie stuff throwing some smaller things that might appeal to a different audience
211.10s - 212.82s |  And they kind of did that long legs
212.82s - 218.50s |  I would say falls under that category and now we have strange darling and we wanted to see it one because of that
219.30s - 220.46s |  because we
220.46s - 226.58s |  Fully support the idea of strange little movies being in the theater right next to borderlands
227.70s - 233.98s |  But also because where the internet's number one Kyle Galner stands. So you're obligated to see it
234.62s - 235.78s |  I
235.78s - 240.54s |  Don't know if you'd cause Kyle Galner stands J's referring to to
241.14s - 242.14s |  Kyle
242.14s - 249.94s |  Galner not Galner Galner Kyle Galner videos our first was our Kyle Galner triple feature spectacular which which came from
250.66s - 252.66s |  kind of just
253.06s - 255.06s |  Serendipity circumstance
256.02s - 260.90s |  Because I was like I was on my voodoo and I was browsing around and I was like, oh this movie looks neat
260.90s - 263.62s |  And I watched the trailer for I think it was passenger
264.98s - 269.18s |  and then I watched the trailer for dinner in America too, and then
270.02s - 273.98s |  There was one other mother. May I I don't know but I was like what then, you know
275.10s - 281.18s |  Every movie every trailer I'm watching his Kyle Galner in it and then I looked and and he had like four films in the last
281.18s - 285.86s |  Like year and so I watched one of them. I was like, that's pretty good. And that's sort of like kind of
286.82s - 293.42s |  Snowballed from there. Yeah, and then I watched all three and then I said Jay you should check out these three Kyle Galner films
293.42s - 299.94s |  There were four we we chose to wait on dinner in America, which was probably a good thing in hindsight because that deserved its own
301.46s - 306.86s |  Special like Mike and Jay talks about yeah, because that was that was beyond being lumped into three
306.86s - 308.98s |  It was a that was a fantastic movie. Yes
309.50s - 311.50s |  and of course
311.54s - 313.02s |  the
313.02s - 318.74s |  The cherry on top was Jay's history with Kyle Galner, which we're not going to go into again Galner fuck
320.50s - 321.82s |  He should change his name
321.82s - 325.82s |  Yeah, just for us specifically the lengthy story is in the other video
325.82s - 332.50s |  But Jay briefly worked on the Nightmare on Elm Street remake as Kyle Galner's body
332.82s - 337.98s |  Double or stand in lighting lighting stand in. Yeah, not body double. No, definitely not
337.98s - 341.02s |  so I guess we are fans of Kyle Galner and mainly
341.70s - 345.78s |  He's he's a solid actor. He's kind of morphed from
347.06s - 353.66s |  Kind of oddball roles in his youth to kind of kind of dabbling in bigger features like the Freddy movie
354.22s - 356.22s |  smile scream, you know and then and
356.74s - 363.84s |  Supporting character in in larger movies and main character in smaller movies. Yeah, that's a that's a shorthand way of saying it
363.84s - 369.38s |  He had a lot of one-off roles in like all the TV shows like working actor, but now I think he's kind of like
370.02s - 372.70s |  smoothed or segued into I
373.58s - 380.02s |  Wouldn't say typecast but a niche a solid niche of him being like I don't know bad boy
380.90s - 382.90s |  criminal tough guy
383.18s - 390.02s |  You need someone intense intense. You call Kyle Galner. Yeah, it's just movie plays on those expectations, which we'll get into
390.02s - 394.24s |  Yes, but I think I know now if it has Kyle Galner in it
395.24s - 402.88s |  He is him or his agent are good at picking good indie scripts and choosing good projects for the most part
402.88s - 406.64s |  Yeah, so when I kind of saw this, I think it was around the time
406.64s - 411.16s |  We were preparing for our Kyle Galner triple feature spectacular
411.16s - 416.08s |  And I was looking at what was coming up next and I saw this movie in the like coming soon
416.08s - 422.88s |  And I watched not a trailer, but I think the only thing they had available on IMDB in the little video window
423.48s - 426.04s |  Was that opening scene of the movie when?
426.68s - 429.50s |  She's driving the the 78 Pinto
430.48s - 433.96s |  Which I thought was a pacer and it made my heart flutter
434.84s - 441.20s |  There's a special place in my heart for red pacers. Okay. My mom had one when I was a kid and
442.16s - 447.00s |  she would fold the back seats down so that it was just the front two seats and
447.96s - 452.04s |  me and all of my siblings would roll around in the back and
453.84s - 459.64s |  Without seats or seatbelts. Oh, okay while the car was on the call. Yeah, it was like the early 80s
460.44s - 466.08s |  And so my we would drive to the mall and in the pacer and my mom had hit the brakes and we'd all roll
466.08s - 469.96s |  And they hit the back of the car and I still remember that cheap fabric
470.68s - 474.72s |  Like the little cheapo dome window in the back. It's like pure glass
475.28s - 480.44s |  That was before shatterproof glass. So had we been rear-ended I would I would not be alive
480.84s - 484.00s |  So I'm like, yeah, and then I was like, okay, it's similar Pinto
484.96s - 491.16s |  Pinto pacer gremlin all kind of like those junk cars from the 70s. So I was like, oh, what's this?
491.16s - 496.36s |  You know and she's driving. She's just and he's he's chasing her in a big truck
496.36s - 499.04s |  And then he realizes he can't catch up to her
499.04s - 504.00s |  So he stops the truck takes the chance to jump on on the on the back of it
504.00s - 507.04s |  That whole scene is in the thing you saw don't maybe Wow
507.12s - 511.84s |  Okay, that like just the chase to him shooting her tire out and her crash in her car
511.84s - 517.96s |  And it's like and that's how the movie just starts. Yeah, the movie just like hits the gas. Yeah immediately
517.96s - 521.44s |  It's not necessary. No pun intended. It's not necessarily a spoiler. It's just like
522.00s - 525.84s |  That's how the movie opens. Yeah, so I was like, oh and so I was intrigued and then I
526.36s - 529.40s |  Don't think I ever saw the trailer. I haven't seen the trailer
529.40s - 535.48s |  I try to avoid trailers for stuff that I'm actually like interested in that isn't like, you know an alien sequel or something
535.56s - 538.52s |  Right. It's like oh, I want to be I didn't even know like what genre this was
538.52s - 543.96s |  I assumed it would probably be horror or some sort of thriller. Yeah, because of the Kyle Galner
544.76s - 551.10s |  Casting but right knew nothing about it going in which made it a very very pleasant surprise
551.64s - 553.72s |  Yeah, I didn't even know and this isn't a spoiler
553.72s - 558.36s |  But I didn't even know it was about a serial killer until that opening crawl that Texas Chainsaw Massacre
558.96s - 562.96s |  Homage right at the beginning of the the text going up in the voiceover
562.96s - 566.48s |  Just like John their cat and the original text chainsaw massacre and then boom
566.48s - 570.24s |  Yeah, it goes right into that seat of him chasing her and you're off to the races
571.08s - 582.36s |  Are you a serial killer?
582.36s - 588.07s |  What did you just say? It's funny because it's another serial killer movie
588.07s - 593.83s |  We just saw long legs not too long ago both kind of homages to older eras of movies that movie though
593.83s - 598.93s |  Long legs is very like like mannered. It's very David Fincher like
599.63s - 601.63s |  And this movie the style is a lot more
602.35s - 604.35s |  Kind of crazy in parts a lot more
605.27s - 607.27s |  Bombastic, it's a little Tarrantonian
608.71s - 613.07s |  Toronto Tarrantinoian. Yeah, definitely. And a little lynchian
627.26s - 633.10s |  Certain like certain of the the color lighting and the kind of dialogue parts and it's a little odd
633.10s - 636.38s |  The whole it keeps cutting back to them in the hotel room
636.38s - 639.86s |  Yeah, which is a lot like some of the scenes in season three at Twin Peaks
640.34s - 643.42s |  There's lots of hotel stuff with Evil Dale Cooper there
644.30s - 650.74s |  And then yeah, the the kind of cheeky use of interstitials and telling the story out of order, which is very Tarrantino
650.74s - 654.74s |  Yes. Yes. Yes, but it never felt like you see those Tarantino knockoffs
654.74s - 658.58s |  I feel like they're trying so hard to be cool. This never felt like it was trying to be cool
658.58s - 665.46s |  It just felt like consistently intense. Yes. Yes, and I never yeah, it never felt like it was ripping it off and it never felt like
666.46s - 668.38s |  It yeah, it was
668.38s - 672.74s |  The only time it showed off was the opening of the film
672.90s - 680.90s |  There's big bold text that says shot on 35 millimeter from sick. I'm so curious because you guys shot on 35 and I fucking say
680.98s - 682.42s |  Thank you
682.42s - 687.18s |  But what is it like when you're yeah, always always a clap for film is
687.94s - 692.54s |  See, I discovered that myself because I think Galner tweeted out
693.42s - 696.76s |  He is the one and only person promoting the film
698.26s - 700.78s |  Don't follow Kyle Galner on on
701.94s - 707.02s |  X if you don't follow Kyle Galner on social media, you'd never hear to this movie. I
707.78s - 713.10s |  guess you know they made a poster and that's that that's gonna come in to our discussion a little bit because
713.50s - 718.82s |  Where do you see where to get movies advertised to? Yeah, we've discussed this before but um, he wrote
718.82s - 723.74s |  Yeah, if you want to watch a really great indie film shot on 35 millimeter from those. Okay, cool
724.06s - 731.46s |  Unfortunately, there's so few places to see movies on 35 millimeter. So we're watching a movie shot on 35 projected digitally
731.46s - 734.98s |  Yeah, I mean I understand that but it still had a great look to it
734.98s - 742.50s |  Oh sure. Um, and I also went back the director hasn't really done too much a couple of short films and a feature called
744.18s - 747.14s |  Angels and outlaws or outlaws and angels
747.78s - 750.34s |  I'm some sort of Western. It's a Western
750.34s - 752.66s |  I noticed Luke Wilson was in it and whenever I see him now
752.66s - 757.66s |  I think of like the the Bruce Willis Geezer teaser movies. Yeah, I don't know if it's one of those type of movies and
758.54s - 761.78s |  Clint Eastwood's daughter. Oh, yeah, she's in it
762.38s - 767.30s |  I believe it's his daughter. Yeah, cuz he got up with nice wood in Western. That's a good casting choice
767.30s - 770.70s |  But maybe it's a good movie. I don't know. I haven't seen it. It critically
771.54s - 775.46s |  Was not received. Well, I don't think it had bad Rotten Tomatoes scores
775.46s - 782.18s |  which doesn't always mean something but um, but I watched the travel curiosity I watched the trailer for it and then I
783.06s - 785.06s |  and it had a very
785.06s - 786.02s |  1970s
786.02s - 791.46s |  Western look to it and then there were even some film scratches and I was like, oh they've had a filter on it
791.46s - 793.78s |  But then I looked it up in 35 millimeter
793.78s - 799.06s |  Okay on some, you know, 70s zoom some zoom lensing going on and and all that
799.06s - 802.58s |  so I was like, okay, so this guy made two big features and
803.54s - 812.42s |  All the boxes are being checked here. J. Mm-hmm in in other than an actual projection of 35 millimeter film in the film theater
812.90s - 818.98s |  all of our boxes are being checked as far as what we talked about in our death of movie theaters video and all the things like
818.98s - 825.62s |  That we would want to still happen in this nightmare world. We live in. Yeah a compelling story that
826.14s - 828.66s |  Surprises you and goes in directions and is also
828.66s - 834.02s |  Uh, this was my biggest takeaway because I I liked the movie well enough for most of it
834.90s - 839.46s |  Uh, but then like in the last I guess the last act it's told in six chapters
839.46s - 841.54s |  Which is funny because it keeps flipping around anyway
841.54s - 847.14s |  And it almost doesn't matter but still non-linear Lee when it gets to the chapter six the conclusion of the movie
847.78s - 849.78s |  it becomes so
849.86s - 853.86s |  More I don't even mean this as a criticism morally like confused or morally
854.42s - 861.14s |  Messy yeah that it it propped the whole movie up for me and I can't really get into it without getting spoilers
861.30s - 867.70s |  Yeah, but it's the kind of thing where the actions that are happening and the way the characters react to it where I can see it being
887.28s - 889.92s |  Well, you just spoiled the whole movie so I bleeped all that
891.60s - 894.00s |  I didn't spoil nothing. Well, yeah, you did
894.16s - 896.16s |  Ah
896.64s - 901.68s |  That's my biggest takeaway from the movie I gotta mention no it is it is the uh, it is the elephant in the room
902.00s - 904.00s |  Um in terms of the plot
904.64s - 907.28s |  But let's get into it. Okay, let's uh, uh
907.92s - 911.20s |  We kind of covered the bases of the actors
912.16s - 915.20s |  Director the history. I was just gonna say like
915.76s - 917.84s |  our our dream in life because
918.80s - 923.12s |  We are we are known as the guys who hate movie theaters and here's what happened today
924.40s - 929.60s |  I went into the movie theater and there were two or three other people in there
931.60s - 933.60s |  I can hear a pin drop
933.84s - 938.80s |  No one was eating a nacho. I mean it was 11 in the morning. Sure. So no one was eating a nacho
939.28s - 942.16s |  No one was talking everyone who came to see this film
942.80s - 944.24s |  obviously didn't
944.24s - 947.20s |  Pull the name out of a hat. They they knew what they were going to see
947.68s - 948.72s |  um
948.72s - 954.72s |  And it was quiet. We had nice seats in the middle of the row right center
955.92s - 957.36s |  beautiful
957.36s - 958.88s |  a small theater
958.88s - 959.68s |  but
959.68s - 964.32s |  A theater great sound a normal a mainstream theater not like a like one of our local our no
964.64s - 967.60s |  Yeah, it wasn't in our house theater. It was a multiplex. Yep and uh
969.84s - 975.36s |  You know and then you have yeah, you have 12 13 14 screens and you have the crow and
976.08s - 980.32s |  Um, I don't know what else what what's what's despicable me for?
981.28s - 985.44s |  Um alien and wolverine still raking in money. Yeah, you know, that's its own thing
985.44s - 987.68s |  but it's like all these like things that are just like
988.96s - 995.92s |  Ips are recognizable, you know products and sequels and and then there's this little like film that's playing in a little theater
996.64s - 998.64s |  plenty of seats great
998.88s - 1001.12s |  And I really hope it does well
1001.84s - 1007.28s |  I hope it gets good word because this is these kind of movies. I think now have to survive on word of mouth
1007.68s - 1012.88s |  Yes, which is how something like long legs did so well because that was like the marketing for that movie was genius
1012.88s - 1018.72s |  And it got people talking but it had marketing ahead of time this movie not so much. Yeah, so this movie has to um
1020.24s - 1025.52s |  Survive on word of mouth or has to come to life on word of mouth because
1026.24s - 1030.88s |  uh, it'll die fast in in the theater if if it doesn't get a lot of
1031.68s - 1039.76s |  a lot of seats filled
1039.84s - 1041.84s |  Hey kitty kitty kitty
1042.64s - 1046.64s |  It's it it is sort of a like a like a pipe dream
1047.36s - 1050.24s |  That this model that we would enjoy
1051.12s - 1053.12s |  Uh would continue for very long
1053.36s - 1059.76s |  It's a sad state of reality because we I would love a multiplex that has you know alien and
1060.32s - 1065.60s |  Wolverine versus deadpool, but then also two or three indie films and smaller theaters
1066.24s - 1067.36s |  that uh
1067.36s - 1069.20s |  you go and watch
1069.20s - 1070.56s |  blindly
1070.56s - 1072.56s |  Enjoy it. It's it
1072.88s - 1074.08s |  it's
1074.08s - 1076.88s |  It's something like I was thinking back to like the 90s
1077.92s - 1080.88s |  the the the distinction between a real movie
1081.68s - 1086.72s |  And a low budget movie in the 90s was just like this thick line
1087.04s - 1090.80s |  That was like impenetrable. Sure real movie produced by
1091.52s - 1093.92s |  real studios shot on film
1094.72s - 1101.04s |  Has names in it, you know, even smaller movies can still fit in that category then the big line
1101.60s - 1103.60s |  And then you have like trauma
1104.40s - 1110.74s |  You know things shot on video. Yeah that are in the dumpster those don't get into multiplexes
1111.44s - 1113.04s |  but now
1113.04s - 1116.64s |  that line is like is blurred and thin because
1117.52s - 1121.28s |  You know a movie like this that while it was shot on film, but other movies are shot on
1121.84s - 1123.04s |  you know
1123.04s - 1128.48s |  Ultra high def 4k with good cameras and lenses and they could they could look like real movies
1129.20s - 1131.76s |  better than they could in the 90s, you know, you
1132.40s - 1133.04s |  think
1133.04s - 1138.80s |  Anomaly will slip in like a Blair witch or uh something weird like that, but for the most part. Yeah
1139.76s - 1144.64s |  Uh, the the criteria was much higher to get a release in a major theater and now you can
1145.60s - 1147.60s |  but ironically
1147.68s - 1151.76s |  They still don't let them in because they don't make the big bucks
1151.76s - 1152.64s |  Well, that's that's yeah
1152.64s - 1155.76s |  What I was going to mention is when you're talking about the 90s and real movies
1156.16s - 1160.56s |  There were quote unquote real movies that there was a variety of stuff
1160.80s - 1167.44s |  Now it is all the big movies the real movies are you know, the comic book movies and uh theme park rides theme park ride movies
1167.52s - 1171.92s |  Yeah, uh, but in the 90s you would have like, you know, I mean you still have tarantino movies
1172.00s - 1174.24s |  Like one of the few exceptions, but there was like yeah
1175.10s - 1176.96s |  dramas and uh
1176.96s - 1182.48s |  You know horror felt there was so much variety to the types of mainstream movies that doesn't really exist anymore
1182.48s - 1187.84s |  I was trying to think of some movies from the 90s like that would just not be in a theater now
1189.28s - 1193.76s |  You know what I mean? Like if a movie came out in the 90s and it goes into the movie theater
1193.84s - 1195.84s |  You're like, oh, okay. That's a real movie and
1196.80s - 1201.44s |  Because I worked in a movie theater and it's friday and saturday night every single theater would sell out
1201.92s - 1204.00s |  No matter what it was. Oh, sure
1204.00s - 1205.60s |  kiss the girls
1205.60s - 1207.60s |  morgan freeman and uh
1208.72s - 1213.36s |  Judd ashley jones today. Yeah, it was like one of those like silence of the lamb seven knockoff
1213.36s - 1213.76s |  Yeah
1213.76s - 1219.04s |  And it's like that would just be on that would be a netflix original and that wouldn't like direct a paramote plus
1219.12s - 1222.96s |  It's like that sold out the movie theaters because it was a movie and it went in the theaters
1222.96s - 1226.40s |  So it must be real and that those kind of days are gone
1226.64s - 1227.76s |  um
1227.76s - 1234.24s |  So, I don't know unless a movie has super great marketing before it comes out like viral marketing
1234.40s - 1238.48s |  But yeah viral marketing or has fantastic word of mouth
1239.04s - 1242.24s |  And that's that's pretty much it because I can see this movie
1243.20s - 1248.88s |  Uh it being risky to just dump a ton of money into advertising and just not getting the results you want
1249.28s - 1254.08s |  From a theatrical release, but the downside is you don't put a lot of money into marketing and then no one knows
1254.16s - 1256.48s |  It's in theaters and then it doesn't make any money anyway
1257.84s - 1263.92s |  I don't know. I don't know what the the the right balances of those two things the little devil on my shoulder says
1264.32s - 1267.12s |  Would it have been a better idea just to do a straight up?
1267.76s - 1269.84s |  digital release for a movie like this
1270.88s - 1272.88s |  And do they make
1273.12s - 1276.64s |  More money because our tickets cost eleven dollars each
1276.64s - 1278.00s |  Sure
1278.00s - 1284.16s |  And I would I would have bought uh paid 24.99 to rent sure or buy or whatever
1284.80s - 1289.44s |  Myself and you probably would have done the same. Oh sure you pay for that convenience convenience
1289.52s - 1293.36s |  Yeah, but I really I preferred this in the theater because
1294.08s - 1296.08s |  That it it was the um
1296.72s - 1300.88s |  The best theater going experience in a while because it was dark
1301.76s - 1303.52s |  I was focused
1303.52s - 1309.28s |  I wasn't distracted the theater's not filled with teenagers that are just there to kill time on their phone for some reason
1309.36s - 1314.08s |  Yeah, even still like this. This movie isn't like heavy on plot. This is more like um
1314.96s - 1324.00s |  Like an experience or a visceral kind of like emotional role. It's not like you have to pay this tons of attention to all the details
1324.64s - 1328.48s |  Um, it's more just like an experience kind of movie. So I wouldn't have minded a crowd
1329.04s - 1332.72s |  But just me personally is just watching it in in the dark and just kind of like
1333.12s - 1337.60s |  Not knowing what the hell was going to happen next. Yeah, it made for a good theatrical experience
1348.55s - 1354.63s |  Yeah, I really really really like this movie. Um, I don't think I would say it was like my favorite movie ever
1355.19s - 1357.19s |  but um, I I was
1358.15s - 1364.47s |  very entertained by it for reasons we'll disclose next but um, oh yeah the producer of the barbarian
1365.75s - 1367.75s |  I'm looking at our videotape
1368.55s - 1370.63s |  Our canon films barbarians
1371.99s - 1375.59s |  It was from a producer of barbarian who was a Giovanni ravisi, right?
1375.83s - 1381.35s |  Well, I don't know if Giovanni ravisi produced barbarian, but he was a producer on this movie and I was shocked to see that
1381.35s - 1383.35s |  He was the cinematographer
1384.07s - 1388.47s |  Well known actor character actor Giovanni ravisi sneaky peed himself
1389.27s - 1390.71s |  Ran the camera
1390.71s - 1397.35s |  And and and and knows how to shoot 35 millimeter. I guess I looked at his imdb for like other cinematography credits
1397.43s - 1401.67s |  It was like a couple of music videos and like that's it. I don't know what led him to
1402.63s - 1409.51s |  He did a great job. It's a good looking movie shot anamorphic. I noticed and there's even a split diopter shot. Yeah
1410.39s - 1411.51s |  which
1411.51s - 1414.23s |  Which is probably super easy to fake in this digital age
1414.31s - 1419.59s |  But uh considering the shot on film and they seem to be purists in that form i'm imagining they really did it
1419.67s - 1421.67s |  Yeah, you got to use one of those funky lenses
1422.15s - 1426.87s |  And you always you got to find just the right spot where the split is too. Otherwise, it looks bizarre
1427.11s - 1429.11s |  I noticed one shot
1429.75s - 1432.47s |  where the camera was moving in on um
1432.95s - 1435.67s |  The girl as she's like kind of laying on the bed
1436.71s - 1437.67s |  and
1437.67s - 1440.79s |  The focus puller was like off by a weird
1441.33s - 1446.31s |  Second it was uh, it was in the farmhouse later. I noticed it. Yeah, yeah distorted the lens
1446.39s - 1450.55s |  She's in the bathtub or in the in the she's in the locker. Yeah the freezer. Yeah
1450.79s - 1455.83s |  yeah, and then just like the because they're moving in and pulling focus and then
1456.23s - 1458.23s |  something happened where the
1459.09s - 1464.95s |  Anamorphic got distorted around the edges. They didn't quite hit the mark. Yeah exactly for one second
1465.51s - 1470.79s |  That's my favorite part of the whole movie. It makes the movie feel alive. Yes
1471.03s - 1475.03s |  There's a moment in a punch-drunk glove where where uh, adam sandler's on the phone
1475.03s - 1477.75s |  He's calling the phone sex line and the cameraman is meant to like
1478.31s - 1482.23s |  He sits on the couch. So the cameraman's like above him and he tries to like push down on him
1482.47s - 1487.43s |  But they completely knock the camera out of the way and then they go back and it's just in the movie. Oh, yeah
1488.71s - 1491.83s |  Someone someone tripped or something. I don't know what happened. Oh boy
1491.91s - 1493.11s |  It's just in the movie
1493.11s - 1498.63s |  But well, yeah, like imperfections like that where they don't take you out of the movie. No, um, they just kind of make it feel more alive
1499.75s - 1505.75s |  Yeah, and all the like use of color in this they're outside the hotel and there's those blue neon lights blaring in
1505.83s - 1510.47s |  So the whole scene is bathed in this like blue purplish light. Yeah, same with the um
1511.43s - 1512.95s |  wardrobe
1512.95s - 1515.83s |  uh choices. Yeah, the the the uh
1517.59s - 1522.47s |  dichotomy or the the antagonistic forces between the two characters because she has
1523.35s - 1525.35s |  the
1525.43s - 1527.75s |  Red bra black underwear
1528.47s - 1533.11s |  Red socks and so black bra red underwear and he has a red and black flannel
1533.35s - 1539.59s |  Yeah, and she has the red car and he has the black car. So there's some thought put into this film. Yes
1541.11s - 1543.67s |  Also thought thematically which we'll talk a little bit about
1544.55s - 1547.59s |  The most prolific and unique american serial killer
1548.47s - 1550.47s |  of the 21st century
1556.24s - 1562.80s |  Let's move into spoilers. Okay, we do recommend seeing this movie and not watching your spoilers. Just go watch it completely
1563.44s - 1564.64s |  uh
1564.64s - 1569.44s |  In the dark the only thing a negative i'll say about the movie is I absolutely
1570.64s - 1572.00s |  hated
1572.00s - 1574.80s |  The lead actress's performance. Just kidding
1576.08s - 1578.08s |  That's called a joke
1579.36s - 1585.44s |  I mean the biggest lie of all time. I mean the opposite of that. Um, uh, she steals the show and we'll talk about that in a second. Um
1586.40s - 1591.92s |  No, I hated the how it said this film was shot. This was movie was shot on 35 millimeter film
1592.00s - 1598.16s |  Yeah, they're proud of it. Whatever you filmed this on 35 millimeter. That's right. Yeah, it works perfect for this genre
1598.88s - 1602.72s |  Don't do that. Just let let the cinephiles know
1603.68s - 1606.32s |  Well, we knew yeah, we knew going in somehow
1607.12s - 1608.40s |  because
1608.40s - 1614.88s |  Kyle galner told us on twitter. I looked it up. I did a little research because I I often go to technical specs on
1615.52s - 1622.00s |  Um, imdb not so much anymore, but sometimes i'm curious and a general audience probably won't even care anyway
1622.08s - 1627.20s |  So the general audience wouldn't know it'd be for the cinephiles and if the cinephiles know
1628.16s - 1632.88s |  Then you don't have to put that up there and a general audience is going to go what does that mean?
1633.76s - 1637.36s |  And they're not going to care anyways. So it's a it serves no purpose
1637.76s - 1641.68s |  I already knew that information other than to maybe brag about it. So
1642.88s - 1644.88s |  Sneaky Pete snuck that in I think
1645.92s - 1648.32s |  To show up, but that's my only problem with the whole movie. Okay
1649.92s - 1652.56s |  and my other problem with the whole movie is
1653.60s - 1655.60s |  Ed Begley jr and barbara hershe
1656.32s - 1661.36s |  Stole my breakfast routine. Oh, jesus christ. Yeah, if you want to watch a movie where you see someone
1661.98s - 1666.24s |  Painstakingly cooked the most disgusting looking breakfast you've ever seen disgusting
1666.80s - 1668.80s |  Begley jr in this movie doesn't
1669.20s - 1675.44s |  Delish you win an academy award for best breakfast scene delicious and health. Oh fucking christ. That was so gross
1675.52s - 1678.48s |  I thought I was gonna puke. Okay. So yeah, once again spoilers
1678.96s - 1683.12s |  Okay, so the film opens with the aforementioned car chase sequence
1683.84s - 1686.80s |  Um, gala gala is chasing down a lady
1687.36s - 1690.08s |  a vulnerable lady in a much
1691.50s - 1697.76s |  Inferior vehicle than his giant big old black truck. No idea when this movie takes place, which is nice
1697.84s - 1704.00s |  It's sort of timeless. There is a the opening crawls about the the serial killer stuff, which I assume is not real
1704.32s - 1710.16s |  Oh, yeah, it's the same. It's the texas chainsaw massacre opening. Yeah, so it's a hot nut is a Fargo opening
1710.40s - 1711.68s |  Yeah
1711.68s - 1713.60s |  So I was like, yeah, yeah, okay and
1714.72s - 1721.04s |  Yeah, we we can't really tell what's going on. Um, we he's obviously given the impression that he's the hostile
1722.64s - 1727.20s |  And she is the victim and of course the the movie plays on
1727.92s - 1730.16s |  Male and female stereotypes. Yes
1731.98s - 1738.08s |  Expectations and all that kind of stuff and then the credits role and kyle gallner is credited as the demon
1738.96s - 1740.96s |  And she is credited as
1741.04s - 1746.40s |  Is it just the lady? I think so. I think it's just the lady lady. I think yeah, so they don't have character names
1746.40s - 1748.08s |  they're just called
1748.08s - 1750.08s |  like archetypes or
1750.24s - 1753.76s |  Just simple descriptions. They're they're a representation. Yeah
1754.24s - 1755.04s |  um
1755.04s - 1757.36s |  and so that's when the movie kicks off and of course
1757.60s - 1763.28s |  And it also starts with the title comes up and it says something like a store a thriller in six chapters or something
1763.60s - 1767.84s |  And then it's like starts chapter three, right? It's like, oh they're they're being you know
1767.84s - 1770.72s |  Kind of tongue in cheek with the uh, the interstitials. Yes
1771.60s - 1776.72s |  This is a dark humor to a lot of this movie, which I liked right not overt or not too broad or anything
1776.80s - 1782.56s |  But a little kind of a mean streak of humor that I like the story unfolds kind of out of order
1782.88s - 1787.12s |  And not necessarily completely backwards just out of order. Yeah, and
1787.92s - 1790.16s |  In the correct way to get all the information
1791.04s - 1793.04s |  I think the best stuff felt
1794.08s - 1798.88s |  I mean, there's so many good scenes. There's so many memorable scenes, but I think like the interplay
1799.68s - 1801.44s |  between him
1801.44s - 1807.68s |  And her in in the car that leads to the hotel is a lot of the most engaging stuff
1807.84s - 1813.44s |  Yeah, and it kind of cuts back to that hotel a few times. Yeah, everything with them. I felt very stage play
1813.68s - 1814.72s |  Yeah in a good way
1814.72s - 1820.24s |  But yeah, there's a there's like some some play and some banter cat and mouse stuff as you said
1821.36s - 1823.36s |  flirting and
1823.90s - 1827.92s |  Expectations and they're very hot and cold in that hotel room. It's so great
1828.00s - 1833.44s |  The constant back and forth between like when one of them is into it and the other one isn't and then changes
1833.68s - 1837.60s |  Yeah, they're playing mind games with each other. Although he's not quite into that
1838.64s - 1840.64s |  but he'll play along and
1841.44s - 1845.12s |  You know, is she is she in the right and then they cut the scenes where it's like, oh
1847.12s - 1852.08s |  Is this happening now, I don't want to get into too many details is this how oh, no
1852.08s - 1855.76s |  It's not pull you back back and forth back and forth because as I said
1856.40s - 1858.72s |  in in my my intro
1859.60s - 1860.88s |  uh
1860.88s - 1862.64s |  loving hurting
1862.64s - 1865.28s |  loving choking chasing shooting
1866.32s - 1868.32s |  No, fucking no
1868.88s - 1871.12s |  I guess the overall thing is
1872.16s - 1873.84s |  like you said
1873.84s - 1876.72s |  in the intro which I probably bleeped out the
1878.48s - 1882.48s |  Male female role and the stereotypes that follow along
1884.96s - 1891.12s |  Where you start to get this kind of like weird feeling like is this uh, is this trying to say something?
1891.12s - 1897.52s |  About how society looks at a man and a woman and clearly it is
1898.00s - 1901.44s |  It is but it's also in a way where I think it's a little more complicated
1902.16s - 1904.16s |  uh in terms of
1905.04s - 1910.40s |  Her character weren't spoilers. So it won't go into too much detail, but her character
1912.00s - 1917.84s |  Uses those conventions and people's general ideas to her advantage to take advantage of people
1918.88s - 1920.88s |  which is is
1920.88s - 1923.28s |  morally murky in this this day and age of
1924.32s - 1929.92s |  People kind of walking on eggshells about not wanting to offend certain groups of people to take something that uh
1930.48s - 1937.52s |  Is not so simplistic and very complicated and just go like a head into it and sometimes it gets ugly
1938.64s - 1946.80s |  but that makes it far more compelling than a more simplistic because it's that scene early on when they're in the uh in the car outside the
1947.36s - 1951.28s |  The hotel and she's talking about like how hard it is for a woman how much you have to fear
1952.00s - 1954.08s |  constant mean constantly in fear of men
1954.64s - 1959.20s |  Do you have any idea the kind of risks a woman like me takes every time she agrees to have a little fun?
1959.76s - 1963.20s |  I've never thought about it that way. Of course, you haven't you're not a woman
1963.60s - 1966.56s |  And if you look at that on the surface level before you get to later in the film
1966.56s - 1968.56s |  You're like, that's a little on the nose
1969.84s - 1971.84s |  Someone at disney write this uh
1972.32s - 1979.28s |  But then oh, no, it's it's it's used a great effect later on and someone can be a very effective killer if they can use
1979.66s - 1980.80s |  societal's
1980.80s - 1987.44s |  Uh societal conventions or or the way that most people they know most people will think to manipulate them
1987.52s - 1989.52s |  Yeah until you run out of gas
1989.92s - 1991.04s |  Yes
1991.04s - 1993.04s |  Until you run out of that
1993.12s - 1999.28s |  That card that you've been playing all to get you so far. Uh, so what are you most excited to see tonight in a theater with people?
1999.68s - 2003.76s |  I I think it's really exciting to get to watch this movie in a theater with a lot of people because
2004.32s - 2009.68s |  There's always a vocal reaction. You can kind of like feel the audience moving through
2010.24s - 2012.80s |  Everything and it's it's fun. She
2014.48s - 2019.36s |  Does a great performance in this so that's she's the star of the show she was on uh, the
2019.92s - 2023.92s |  Netflix follow the house of usher. That's I think the only thing i've ever seen her in before but
2024.48s - 2027.04s |  man, we went to this movie for kyle galner and
2027.68s - 2029.68s |  uh, she she and
2030.48s - 2037.04s |  Much more complicated. Uh performance. Yeah work with and she did great. Yeah, and and clearly she's uh
2038.08s - 2039.92s |  Mentally unstable
2039.92s - 2044.64s |  But but there's no um, I I kept thinking of eileen warnose when watching this
2045.36s - 2053.60s |  she was very damaged growing up and that it kind of turned into a serial killer kind of thing and and it's like where you know
2054.48s - 2060.32s |  You got dahmer or other people that kill either for fun or dahmer had like a weird sexual
2060.72s - 2065.68s |  Problem with his head and there's all these different reasons and this doesn't get into that and so
2066.48s - 2068.56s |  and then there's like kind of early scenes where she's
2069.28s - 2072.56s |  Into like snm and choking and is she really?
2073.36s - 2077.92s |  Uh, is is that just part of this like does she just get off on these mind games?
2078.64s - 2082.48s |  I don't know. They leave it all open because we're only seeing this small window of time in her life
2082.64s - 2085.44s |  Yeah, which I liked because then yeah, it could be like well
2085.68s - 2092.56s |  What is her past that right made her understand how to manipulate people or or play off people's expectations? And there's no um
2093.28s - 2099.04s |  Because she's known as the electric lady because she carves eel into his chest and and I guess brands her victims
2100.00s - 2104.00s |  She says I never carved one there before she does it right on his heart. Yeah, does she really like it?
2104.00s - 2107.12s |  it's a love story really it's kind of a love story, but but um
2107.92s - 2112.16s |  once you the two cops that eventually pick her up after uh
2112.80s - 2114.80s |  After the incident, which we won't say
2115.44s - 2119.44s |  Um, she confesses or they ask her if she's the electric lady and she says yes
2119.44s - 2123.36s |  And the one female cop's like, you know, like she has a look at terror on her face
2123.36s - 2126.64s |  Like they know who this person is they've heard of her
2127.04s - 2135.28s |  But the one thing we never had is that that like a dumb exposition sequence where we have the the fbi agent and his assistant
2135.92s - 2137.92s |  Who have been going around?
2138.88s - 2140.88s |  We're on the hunt for the electric lady
2141.68s - 2147.68s |  She's had 12 victims each and every victim has been a male. That looks like kyle galner
2148.56s - 2149.84s |  and uh
2149.84s - 2154.48s |  She carves her initials on every victim. We don't get any of that. Yeah. Yeah, I guess uh
2154.64s - 2158.96s |  I don't even see like a newspaper headline anywhere. No. Yeah. Yeah, and there's no like, you know
2159.04s - 2164.80s |  She she was her first victim. She did this and then she she just upped the ante every time and started
2165.76s - 2167.76s |  the only thing I could think of was like
2168.64s - 2173.28s |  That seemed sort of superfluous plot wise was that kyle galner was married
2174.32s - 2176.08s |  and he was
2176.08s - 2178.00s |  either separated or
2178.00s - 2181.28s |  In the process of being divorced from his wife because he mentioned they have different
2181.84s - 2188.16s |  Shelves for their different groceries like they still live together. Yeah, but um, I thought that was just a nice little bit of backstory without
2188.64s - 2192.96s |  Giving too much exposition. Yeah, I mean give him a little something. Yeah, it could be motivation
2193.52s - 2196.88s |  Um, like he told her all that in the bar like hey, you know
2197.28s - 2203.68s |  We can go back to a hotel and hook up but i'm i'm still married technically and maybe that's like, ooh
2204.56s - 2209.12s |  Monster like oh sure that you that could easily be like a boilerplate
2209.60s - 2213.76s |  Fucking backstory for her. Oh her father cheated on her mother
2214.80s - 2217.44s |  We don't get none of that. No, just get like grisly
2218.32s - 2220.32s |  violence
2220.94s - 2223.04s |  Uncomfortable sexuality
2223.98s - 2225.98s |  Choking
2228.08s - 2230.08s |  Right out of nowhere murder
2230.24s - 2231.52s |  like like
2231.52s - 2235.68s |  That's why it felt tarantino-esque, you know and like kind of in your face
2236.56s - 2238.48s |  It never the 90s were back, baby
2238.48s - 2240.56s |  The the violence in this never got gratuitous though
2240.64s - 2244.64s |  Like I feel like a lot of like, I don't know recent kind of lower budget
2245.44s - 2250.00s |  More kind of artistic horror films will then have that sudden like burst of extreme violence
2250.40s - 2255.36s |  And this never went over the top with it. It always felt very like realistic. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it didn't get stupid
2255.44s - 2258.80s |  no, no, um, and and all the the murders were like
2259.84s - 2263.44s |  kind of purposeful and and and you know, there's no like
2264.24s - 2265.20s |  blood
2265.20s - 2271.84s |  CGI blood spatter. There's that too. Yeah, so many good like like gushing blood effects and and just
2273.60s - 2275.60s |  Spraying the bear spray and
2276.40s - 2278.40s |  him him when he's like
2278.40s - 2279.92s |  he's like
2279.92s - 2285.76s |  Getting uh, he has a bunch of ketamine in his system and he's like barely functioning. He's firing his gun at her. Yeah
2286.24s - 2287.20s |  and uh
2287.20s - 2290.24s |  Just so many great like that leads to shocking moments
2290.24s - 2296.08s |  Yeah, and that leads to a great little kind of dark comedy moment where he starts using cocaine the way
2296.40s - 2300.08s |  Popeye uses spinach to get his strength back to chase her
2300.40s - 2305.44s |  Yeah, and that's like an hour and 20 minutes into the movie which then ties in with the opening of the movie
2305.92s - 2309.52s |  Uh, because it's told out of order. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a perception in the beginning
2309.52s - 2313.28s |  you see him like snorting coke and running around with a shotgun, but really he's
2314.40s - 2320.80s |  He's uh, he's on the hunt he's doing it because he's zonked out on drugs that she gave it's the counterbalance to ketamine. Yeah
2321.52s - 2323.52s |  Uh, so yeah so many
2324.24s - 2327.92s |  And then you know how who could forget the scott bao puzzle?
2329.60s - 2331.60s |  Like what an oddball touch
2331.68s - 2336.00s |  An oddball touch that they then feel the need to justify or she's like we don't like scott bao
2336.48s - 2340.96s |  Just give these puzzles out for free like nice little character touches like that that
2341.36s - 2343.92s |  Uh, the movie doesn't necessarily need but it adds so much
2344.96s - 2348.24s |  You know kind of flavor to it and and and those things
2348.48s - 2353.04s |  Yeah, it was it was subtle even the fact that those characters being like older hippies and he's an old biker
2353.28s - 2357.28s |  like you don't need to give them that those little details because they're basically just
2358.00s - 2362.96s |  Serial killer fodder, but but adding those little details just just uh, you know
2363.36s - 2369.28s |  Add so much uh kind of texture to it, but it added it added them in in a way that was um
2370.24s - 2374.16s |  It was subtle charming and just enough unlike
2374.96s - 2381.36s |  Uh, is it is it who who writes those halloween movies danny mcbride or oh, yeah, all those supporting characters
2381.36s - 2385.76s |  Yeah, we didn't we didn't have 40 minutes of them talking about their scott bao puzzle, right?
2385.92s - 2387.92s |  We didn't need that we showed them making breakfast
2388.64s - 2390.64s |  And that that was all we needed
2390.80s - 2397.12s |  Their hippies they're at the end of their life. They enjoyed this like this gluttonous disgusting sunday breakfast
2398.16s - 2399.44s |  and uh
2399.44s - 2403.84s |  And putting puzzles together. They're living they're living their life in the woods
2404.40s - 2410.24s |  And that's all we you know, so subtle. It wasn't like look at how clever we are by adding these weird quirky
2410.80s - 2412.80s |  character traits of these these
2412.80s - 2417.28s |  Kind of pointless characters. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that the that older couple at halloween
2417.76s - 2421.54s |  Kills when they're flying the drone around the house, and it goes on forever
2429.12s - 2434.96s |  Oh man, I got peanut butter on my penis. I like being out in the woods. No, I enjoy it
2435.04s - 2440.00s |  But i'm missing dance clothes for this. I have some other kind of babysitter. She'd be reading me a story
2440.16s - 2441.60s |  I wouldn't be up
2441.60s - 2445.52s |  Clipping my nasty-ass toenail bonnie is essentially just the vietnamese version
2446.00s - 2450.08s |  Of a french baguette. Yeah that at that point in the story in this too where we
2450.80s - 2456.08s |  Do kind of take a break from the story to watch them make breakfast for so long because it's told out of order
2456.48s - 2460.64s |  Like that's a perfect point in the movie to have kind of a break from the intensity
2461.04s - 2464.00s |  It's like okay. We've seen all this stuff. We're kind of caught up to speed
2464.40s - 2468.08s |  Now we're gonna relax for a second before things get get dark again
2468.48s - 2474.72s |  Because we know he dies and we assume it was kyle galner that killed him information out of order
2476.08s - 2478.08s |  Plays with your brain a little
2478.48s - 2480.48s |  tingles your your
2480.72s - 2482.72s |  entertainment zones of your brain
2483.28s - 2487.92s |  Things come out of nowhere that you don't expect. So I really hope no one watched everything we just talked about
2502.39s - 2504.39s |  So recap
2504.71s - 2506.71s |  wonderful time at the theater
2507.67s - 2512.23s |  Uh, I did I did with a movie worth supporting at the theater. Yeah. Yeah
2513.03s - 2515.03s |  Yeah, it's definitely a movie worth supporting
2515.03s - 2519.35s |  Um, or you know movies of its ilk, I guess
2521.65s - 2523.65s |  Fantastic performances
2525.35s - 2530.39s |  Interestingly structured well made just overall entertaining it it
2531.03s - 2536.07s |  It's like a little actual roller coaster of emotions. Sure. I was I was uh,
2536.95s - 2539.27s |  Not me healing romula's way. No, no, no
2540.15s - 2541.19s |  shocked
2541.19s - 2542.23s |  uncomfortable
2542.23s - 2548.15s |  Delighted I chuckled. I mean it was it was a very very uh, interesting interesting movie and then
2549.27s - 2550.95s |  uh
2550.95s - 2555.99s |  The very end the last like three minutes, uh amazing
2557.11s - 2559.11s |  uh, like
2559.35s - 2561.35s |  you know when like
2562.31s - 2567.27s |  You there's like a monster in a movie like like like a wild grizzly bear
2567.43s - 2570.95s |  That's mauled 10 people and finally they shoot it or like when
2571.91s - 2578.55s |  When the big creature dies at the end and and you see it struggling and you have like a sadness for it
2578.63s - 2579.91s |  Oh sure
2579.91s - 2581.67s |  and and you shouldn't
2581.67s - 2583.67s |  but you do and
2583.67s - 2585.67s |  Willa Fitzgerald's death scene
2586.47s - 2589.27s |  Uh spoilers, uh is amazing
2589.83s - 2597.03s |  uh, because it it completely circles back to the beginning the beginnings of black and white and she asks him if he's a serial killer
2597.43s - 2599.03s |  comes back and
2599.03s - 2601.91s |  She gets shot by someone and she's just kind of like
2602.55s - 2608.71s |  You know slowly dying but kind of like she talks about death earlier how she would rather be in jail and dying
2608.71s - 2610.71s |  And she's scared of dying and all that
2610.95s - 2612.55s |  so that comes back
2612.55s - 2615.51s |  that motion is laid on top of that performance and
2616.39s - 2622.87s |  And just the fact that it doesn't it just doesn't cut away from her away and and her weird contortions and her struggling
2623.03s - 2625.75s |  And she's just trying everything she can do to hang on
2626.47s - 2631.75s |  And very slowly, you know, I don't call it cliche or artsy fartsy or whatever
2631.75s - 2637.43s |  They start dipping the color to black and white as the life drains from her and it's just like it was so good
2637.43s - 2640.39s |  it made me emotional and feel sorry for her
2641.27s - 2648.87s |  And kind of sad much like when you see that like the the horrible creature that you've been wanting to kill the whole movie struggle
2649.11s - 2654.95s |  Yeah with a with a you know, the bear has a spear in its side and it's it's it's struggling to stay alive
2655.03s - 2660.79s |  But the whole goal was to kill the bear and you kind of feel bad for it because it was
2661.59s - 2666.39s |  Operating on instinct the bear and almost in a way she was if she was just straight up
2667.19s - 2670.39s |  Mentally ill is that she clearly was yeah
2670.95s - 2676.63s |  Because they never explained any kind of trauma or whatever. But clearly she was just straight up. She she sees demons
2676.63s - 2681.19s |  She says that's like the only thing they give her. Yeah, sometimes I don't see people I see demons
2681.27s - 2685.51s |  Yeah, which we get like a quick subliminal cut of earlier. There's something in there and when you see it earlier
2685.51s - 2687.51s |  You don't know what the fuck it is at that point in the story
2688.79s - 2690.55s |  so yeah, and
2690.55s - 2695.27s |  Makes you feel bad for her and she's done horrible things and that that could pull in that emotional
2695.91s - 2697.91s |  reaction out of that performance
2697.99s - 2702.95s |  of just gurgling and dying and not not not in a cliche movie way where you're like
2703.83s - 2704.87s |  but
2704.87s - 2709.11s |  Just the weirdness it kind of reminded me of that the first omen
2709.91s - 2710.95s |  scene
2710.95s - 2716.39s |  When she's having that like oh as attack. Yeah, which is a reference to the movie possession
2716.47s - 2719.03s |  But yeah, she's like flipping out in the street. It's very like
2719.67s - 2724.95s |  Unmovie like it's very uncomfortable. Yeah, and this was an unmovie like death scene
2725.03s - 2727.03s |  It was almost like too realistic. Yeah
2727.51s - 2732.63s |  And uh, so so uh, yeah, well well well directed and well acted there
2733.35s - 2734.71s |  uh
2734.71s - 2741.19s |  Not ask a nomination for will if it's journaled it won't happen, but it should it won't happen, but it should
2741.67s - 2744.15s |  There's always one of those every year where it's like this movie
2744.39s - 2749.35s |  This performance deserves some nominations and it won't get anything because of the type of movie it is
2750.15s - 2753.59s |  I felt that way about lupita nyunga and us when us came out
2753.83s - 2756.39s |  She's so good in that movie, but I knew that wasn't going to get anything
2757.27s - 2760.95s |  If they if they if they call it a thriller like they did with sounds to the lambs
2761.27s - 2765.43s |  That's how it'll get nominations. Just drama. Don't call it a whore. Just call it a drama. Sure
2766.87s - 2771.69s |  Period drama. It's potentially period. I don't know what it takes place. It takes place in 2023
2772.63s - 2774.87s |  Period dreams when still driving a pinto
2775.67s - 2777.51s |  from the 70s
2777.51s - 2780.87s |  That was the the maid's car that worked at the hotel. Yeah
2781.75s - 2786.97s |  I love the awkwardness of that scene too. Like oh every like scene feels so natural and realistic
2794.60s - 2796.44s |  Okay, that's it
2796.44s - 2802.68s |  Go see strange darling in the movie theaters. Everybody do it. You never thought you'd see us recommending going to the theater, huh?
2803.48s - 2804.52s |  Yeah

2806.52s - 2811.16s |  No one wants to eat nachos. Just go and go and see it. Well, let's say go see a matinee, but
2812.12s - 2816.20s |  Go see you tonight. That should be on the poster. No one elite nachos next to you. Yeah
2817.56s - 2820.20s |  That's the highest recommendation from red letter media
2822.84s - 2824.44s |  So good job
2824.44s - 2829.64s |  Jt maulner when kyle gaul a galner walked on set to the same mauler meat
2830.44s - 2832.28s |  Galner
2832.28s - 2836.28s |  And he said it's galner and then he goes it's malner

13.65s - 31.17s | This text was transcribed using whisper model: small.en

 Well, did you see the new Alien film? I like Alien. I did see it and
32.09s - 34.25s |  I don't have any questions anymore
35.17s - 37.17s |  Cuz I don't care
40.42s - 44.20s |  Finally the Hollywood grave robbers are at it again
44.66s - 50.18s |  Just when you thought it was safe to go back into space the Alien franchise has returned
50.90s - 52.70s |  again
52.70s - 60.50s |  Remember Prometheus remember Alien Kavna remember being done with all that crap. It's back again
60.50s - 62.50s |  It happened again
62.66s - 70.04s |  Remember when Groundhog Day was just a movie my life is a nightmare with the long slimy fingers of studio
70.26s - 76.06s |  Executive notes alien Romulus shows us that your family can't live in good intentions Marge
76.62s - 80.74s |  Well, it's about time. We got half of the bag for half in the bag
81.50s - 83.50s |  It's been a while
84.34s - 89.78s |  Well, look at this. Oh, look at this. It's the Prometheus
90.98s - 92.38s |  Discompanion guide
92.38s - 97.90s |  This is a prop we made when Prometheus gave it a DVD. Yes, 26 years ago
97.90s - 102.66s |  And you know what we put that up for one of our auctions, but whoever bought it never paid us. Oh, really?
102.66s - 107.46s |  Yeah, well, it's good. I'm glad we held on to it. Yeah. Yeah, it is now come in handy again all these years later
107.54s - 113.26s |  Well that that sad amount of money we made from all of our auctions helped build this company from the ground up jay
113.26s - 116.02s |  That's true. This is VCR repair company we have
116.66s - 123.46s |  So today we're here back again. This is like a half bag. I mean VCR repair shop hangout talk about movies
124.66s - 127.94s |  Extravaganza is three movies in the theater in one month
128.54s - 135.94s |  We sat in the same seats in the same theater. Yeah, and this borderlands. It was weird and and literally the the the
136.82s - 142.10s |  Poster it was wrong. Oh, yeah, it's not even a real poster anymore. It's like a digital image, right?
142.10s - 146.34s |  And so they didn't bother to change that so I was like, oh no the nightmare started all over again
146.34s - 149.34s |  It was still the poster for borderland. Yeah, it's like, oh god, what happened?
149.34s - 152.86s |  Did I buy tickets at the wrong theater and then we went in there and we're like, oh, okay
153.30s - 155.38s |  Fingers crossed borderlands doesn't start playing
156.18s - 161.62s |  Digital glitch because we're contractually obligated if we went into that theater and borderlands is playing we had to sit there and just watch it again
162.38s - 166.82s |  Yes, that's that's the contract you make when you buy a movie ticket, you can't leave right?
166.82s - 169.66s |  I mean, it's very very unfortunate sometimes
173.02s - 176.90s |  But my question is who's to blame for this film well
178.14s - 182.98s |  This this movie was a rollercoaster of emotions. Yes, because it started off
183.90s - 185.90s |  literally about
186.26s - 189.14s |  30 minutes through I thought wow
189.62s - 194.58s |  This is like the best movie I've seen this year and then that Goodwill
195.22s - 199.50s |  suddenly turned to this is the worst movie I've seen this year and how they
199.98s - 207.02s |  Was it Fede Alvarez? How he did he did that? I don't know. It's like a magician. I don't yeah
207.02s - 210.30s |  I know when we talked about borderlands. I said I know at this point
210.30s - 213.14s |  It's cliche to say a movie feels like it was written by AI
213.70s - 216.58s |  I'm not gonna say this movie feels like it was written by AI
216.94s - 222.66s |  but what I will say is it also feels like a cliche to call a film a fan film and
223.06s - 228.42s |  This felt like a an alien fan film with all the the worst
229.30s - 231.30s |  indulgences of that type of
231.66s - 236.62s |  Like rogue one ish on steroids type movie. Yeah. Well, let me
236.90s - 242.10s |  I have one more statement to make opening statement before the trial begins
242.34s - 244.26s |  But I just want to
244.26s - 249.14s |  Because because it's gonna get into spoilers because I want to I want to follow up on your your AI point
249.98s - 254.78s |  Because I really didn't feel quite that same way about borderlands borderlands just felt like lame
255.86s - 257.06s |  this
257.06s - 258.50s |  different
258.50s - 262.42s |  So the movie starts off and I loved it. I
263.30s - 265.10s |  thought it was
265.10s - 267.54s |  Fantastic for the first like 30 minutes
268.18s - 271.46s |  aesthetically great the the it starts off on
272.26s - 277.74s |  Weyland Yutani mining planet. I think it's around a little somewhere in the alien
277.98s - 284.06s |  It's post aliens a post alien pretty aliens because Ripley's in the cryo tube for like 80 years or something
284.06s - 288.74s |  So this takes place 20 years after alien. I think they say two decades. So we meet
289.38s - 293.74s |  characters on this planet there the younger generation of
295.18s - 301.34s |  Generational miners that live on this planet and and they would live in such horrible conditions that they are getting like
301.42s - 304.50s |  I don't know cancer or diseases and dying because
304.98s - 311.30s |  The human body is not made for work in space and that's kind of the general premise of the background plot
311.30s - 313.30s |  Yeah, but we have a girl
313.58s - 318.74s |  rain rain rain and she has an Android buddy named Andy who's
319.34s - 325.38s |  Brilliant in the film much like the last two Ridley Scott movies the best character in this movie is the Android
325.38s - 328.30s |  Yeah, watch me. I'll do the fingering
328.30s - 335.30s |  I mean, I don't know who that actor is, but he deserves an Academy Award for portraying an Android
335.94s - 337.86s |  brilliantly
337.86s - 344.10s |  Lots of subtleties in the performance because he switches back and forth between good Android and bad Android
344.10s - 348.66s |  Well, this is for simplicity sake, but so we meet these characters and there are
349.38s - 356.78s |  like actual just actual stakes involved and I actually care and they spent a lot of time building that up because the girl wants
356.90s - 358.90s |  to go to this planet
359.06s - 360.78s |  that's
360.78s - 364.10s |  Nine light years away, or I don't know nine takes nine years to get to it
364.10s - 366.56s |  She's worked all over her working hours
367.34s - 373.46s |  To get a travel credits with Whelan. Yeah, she has a contract the evil corporation up to the amount of hours
373.46s - 377.02s |  You have to work so she can't go to that planet. It's like indentured servitude
377.02s - 379.66s |  She's she's under contract to work and they're just like oh
379.66s - 383.50s |  We just added five seven more years to your contract because whoops, we have a labor shortage
383.62s - 389.70s |  So it's really like depressing and miserable and and and it feels in-world with the earlier alien movies
389.70s - 392.50s |  It's like oh, this is an interesting little pocket that we haven't seen before
392.50s - 398.50s |  Yeah of this environment and the like Whelan Yutani Corporation. Yes, genuinely interesting, right?
398.50s - 405.10s |  Right. It's just like yeah a little a little corner of the galaxy where these people are 56 light years away from Earth
405.10s - 410.18s |  It says at the beginning something like that. Yeah, but I'm like, oh god, you know, her parents both died of
410.62s - 416.86s |  Cloud space cancer. I don't know and then there's a little like thing which there's a voice that comes on the speaker in the beginning
416.86s - 419.66s |  It's like if you feel sick or have a cough
420.54s - 428.18s |  Have a fever head to the medical bay and it sounded like Brian Butterfield. So I I laughed and I don't know that was intentional
429.02s - 434.08s |  But it made me think it sounded just like Brian Butterfield and I just pictured Brian Butterfield on a microphone
434.48s - 437.60s |  You have a fever or cold now cold now
438.16s - 443.02s |  the Butterfield diet plan order it exclusively online at
443.60s - 447.72s |  W double W full-stop. Where are you Tony?
450.36s - 453.32s |  So and then her Android friend is
454.32s - 458.36s |  Like a older discontinued model of Android who's been damaged
458.36s - 463.24s |  But her father gave it directives to protect her because he was dying and so he's like, oh, you know
463.24s - 467.40s |  I feel I feel a little something and they and they have it. This is the plot. They have a plan
467.40s - 470.02s |  There's a space station in orbit, which originally
470.80s - 477.76s |  Initially, they think is a spaceship. This is her group of friends plan. I love her. They're all young people mush-mouthed British. Yeah friends
477.76s - 482.40s |  Yes, this is this is the movie with the with the they shot me in the water
484.56s - 486.82s |  Every time say oh no, it's there's something in the water
488.48s - 491.72s |  But those characters get our main character tied up
491.88s - 497.80s |  One of them has a plan to go up to space with what some kind of spaceship they have. I don't know
498.56s - 499.88s |  and
499.88s - 501.40s |  steal
501.40s - 507.56s |  Six a cryo pods. Yes, and then take their spaceship and fly it for nine years to their
508.36s - 512.64s |  Wonderful planet that they want to get to that's not part of the whale and utani corporation
512.64s - 515.84s |  It's outside their jurisdiction and they could see the Sun and live a happy life
515.84s - 520.16s |  And all the supporting characters are a little like one dimensional. Yeah, there's not much to them
520.24s - 522.60s |  They don't give them time, but they're but they're alien fodder
522.60s - 528.94s |  You kind of go in expecting that as long as the main character is strong and she starts, you know, interesting enough if they didn't spend
531.32s - 534.28s |  180 minutes of schlock at the end they could have
535.96s - 538.40s |  Pre-loaded the movie with characterization. That's true
539.60s - 544.60s |  Something in the water something in the water something in the water. They shot me in the water. What do you mean?
544.60s - 546.88s |  There's something I don't know. It's just something in the fucking water
548.94s - 550.78s |  You said Jay
550.78s - 552.34s |  this
552.34s - 557.34s |  This I don't know if your opinion is that Borderlands felt more like it was written by an AI or this no
557.34s - 560.74s |  Borderlines felt AI this felt fan film this to me
561.30s - 566.18s |  Felt AI as in you type into an AI and say
566.90s - 570.70s |  Make a movie that combines alien aliens
571.78s - 576.86s |  Prometheus alien covenant alien three and alien
578.42s - 580.42s |  Or what's it called resurrection
580.94s - 586.74s |  You combine all those movies into a movie make it. Yeah, and it just kind of does it randomly the
587.50s - 591.54s |  The penal colony nature of the planet the the thing at the end
593.50s - 597.98s |  Many many things which I don't want to get into right yet. But yeah, sure. Let's do it spoilers
598.70s - 605.94s |  spoilers I'm all fired up today because I actually felt I felt I felt many things because I felt sad
606.30s - 609.78s |  Well, it was disappointing. I didn't have like super high hopes for this movie
609.78s - 611.78s |  Like it the trailers were pretty good
613.26s - 618.38s |  But it's like oh another Alien movie, but then when the movie starts and it's like, oh, this is actually an interesting setup
618.38s - 620.38s |  I like the the world that they're building
620.78s - 626.98s |  So it I actually started to get invested and that's why it was disappointing because after that it just goes completely off a cliff
627.50s - 629.50s |  into a
629.54s - 633.42s |  Pastiche of every previous Alien movie sometimes non-sensically
635.10s - 637.10s |  As far as like line callbacks
637.58s - 641.82s |  I guess if we're in spoilers get away from her you bitch
643.70s - 647.34s |  Absolutely, no reason Andy the Android says get away from her you bitch
648.22s - 650.22s |  Why did he say that?
650.62s - 652.62s |  Because she said an aliens
653.82s - 657.62s |  There's so much like there's so much more to that line in aliens
658.34s - 661.02s |  She doesn't just say it. It's not just like a dumb action movie line
661.02s - 665.90s |  She's she's a mother and then she becomes a surrogate mother to Newt and she said it to the Queen alien
665.90s - 667.50s |  Who's also a mother?
667.50s - 673.34s |  There's there's there's like a point behind ultimate girl fight. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, I get that trust me
673.34s - 678.26s |  But he just says it in this there's there to a random alien in defense of the movie
678.26s - 684.94s |  He kind of says it almost it's almost like fourth wall breaking because he's like get away from her you bitch
685.50s - 688.54s |  Like he doesn't know why he's saying it like the AI told him
688.54s - 692.90s |  I mean the screenwriter told him to say it but if you just said get away from her and be like, okay
692.90s - 697.90s |  That's a an homage, but that's something someone would say it was like an outtake like the actor said it
701.62s - 706.54s |  So, yeah before the movie started we were talking about like I think it was the D
707.02s - 711.06s |  D just the convention going on. Yeah D 23 years
711.06s - 715.82s |  So they announced all their movies and it's just like Toy Story 5. I don't know. It's like the same like
716.06s - 718.26s |  And it's like prequel. I yes
718.26s - 723.78s |  So we saw a prequel for Lion King like here's this backstory of scar and I'm just like I said, oh fuck off
723.78s - 731.86s |  Yeah, like I'm just getting so sick of just regurgitating IP, you know, here's this thing and it's like, uh, I don't know just
732.22s - 734.86s |  you know, this is what we complain about all the time and
736.30s - 738.74s |  There was like a little moment where I was like
739.38s - 742.38s |  Fannie Alvarez did don't breathe and the
743.50s - 745.50s |  evil dead reboot
746.06s - 750.54s |  so it's like, okay, you know, they they brought in a like a filmmaker and
751.34s - 756.50s |  and he's taking his time with this we're having character and that like all the
756.98s - 763.70s |  The first like 30 minutes like they go into that cryo room to steal the fuel for the things is the face hugger sequence
763.70s - 765.54s |  And I was like, this is all really good
765.54s - 770.46s |  And then all kind of like was building and was hitting all the beats and then it happened
770.54s - 777.34s |  That's why I say who's to blame did Fede Oliver because story-wise this could just be its own little standalone alien movie
777.86s - 782.74s |  It doesn't need all these callbacks and references and deep fakes of fucking Ian Holm
782.74s - 789.14s |  That's he's not even the same alien like why or same Android. Why does it need to be him other than you recognize him?
789.14s - 790.70s |  so we get this
790.70s - 794.60s |  Distracting CGI deep fake say I was I was happy
794.90s - 798.10s |  like that's where the that's that was like the point where
798.50s - 803.30s |  The movie died was when I saw that. Yeah. Oh god, how do we kill it?
804.50s - 809.54s |  There's got to be a way of killing it. How how do we do it? That's I wonder like it because it's like a
810.34s - 811.86s |  Peter Cushing in Rogue One
811.86s - 813.86s |  So it's like oh, is this a Disney decision?
814.18s - 820.86s |  Did Fede Alvarez not want this to be so like fanservicey and full of callbacks and that was just like got kind of pushed on him
820.86s - 825.94s |  I don't know and then he even had to say those lines like I'm what's his line from the first one
825.94s - 828.22s |  I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny your request something
828.22s - 833.10s |  Yeah, and then she's like I'm afraid I'm gonna have to deny your quest bitch like okay
833.10s - 838.82s |  That's the line like it was gross like it it turned into like something. I had no idea
838.82s - 842.62s |  I couldn't even fathom that would happen to this movie
843.46s - 849.62s |  halfway through that's the thing is is I was I was so like happy with this movie and
849.90s - 853.78s |  I thought the the what's in the trailer the one girl gets a
854.14s - 858.42s |  Chestburster right the tech person she gets the chestburster and I thought okay
858.86s - 861.90s |  we have a situation where there's an alien on this this
862.70s - 864.70s |  research science station and
866.58s - 868.02s |  That's it
868.02s - 870.02s |  I'm like that's I'm happy
870.34s - 871.94s |  Everything up until then was great
871.94s - 877.06s |  let's make this 90 a tight 90 and get out of here and have some cool chase scenes and
877.46s - 882.66s |  The Android saves the girl because that's what he was programmed to do and they have emotional ending and then
882.78s - 888.02s |  Her and the guy and the other girl who's pregnant get off on the spaceship and they make their way
888.58s - 896.10s |  To their happy planet. I mean, I know alien movies traditionally don't have a happy ending usually but so for aliens
896.82s - 898.94s |  Yeah, yeah until you get the alien three
904.47s - 909.25s |  That's an important thing to point out is like yeah, okay Fede Alvarez. He has a style
909.55s - 915.11s |  He has kind of his own sort of directorial voice and the original not including like alien versus predator
915.11s - 921.25s |  But those original four movies what's always been interesting to me about them is that they're all basically the same movie
921.75s - 924.71s |  People in a confined space and they have to run away from aliens
924.95s - 931.57s |  But they all have such a distinct like voice behind them a distinct style and they're all very very different from each other
931.75s - 937.43s |  so that was kind of like what I was expecting from this even though like that's one thing I'll say against the first half is it's
937.43s - 942.35s |  Almost like slavishly devoted to replicating the style of Ridley Scott in the original movie
942.67s - 946.39s |  But then even when Ridley Scott came back for Prometheus and Alien Covenant
946.39s - 949.27s |  He tried to like he took big swings. It didn't completely work
949.27s - 952.39s |  but he tried to turn this franchise into like more of a
953.15s - 955.15s |  philosophical thing about like the creation of
955.75s - 957.47s |  humankind and
957.47s - 962.27s |  Bioengineering and lots of big ideas doesn't completely work. So then you get to this movie
962.31s - 964.63s |  It's like okay new new director new voice
964.99s - 969.91s |  but then it just becomes like a hodgepodge of references and callbacks and
970.23s - 972.23s |  almost as if an AI is
972.63s - 978.59s |  Grounded up all these parts and made it into a movie even like visual callbacks like she's wearing the Reebok shoes
978.59s - 982.59s |  She's holding the big gun. It's like the exact same shot like the yellow warning light
983.59s - 986.87s |  The first attack of the face huggers. I thought was pretty effective
986.87s - 990.63s |  Yeah, cuz it's like an amped-up version of the aliens scene
990.63s - 993.99s |  I always think the face huggers are like creepier than the full-blown alien hmm
993.99s - 999.15s |  And there's that scene in yeah aliens when they're in the room and the sprinklers are going off and it's attacking them
999.39s - 1004.93s |  And it's like that but a little bit bigger but not in a obnoxious way. It's like, oh if he just keeps going with these like
1006.35s - 1012.67s |  Tightly executed kind of set pieces when the full-grown alien got birthed. I thought that was awesome
1013.19s - 1017.47s |  Yeah, and that was kind of different. Yeah visually. Yeah. Yeah, and then
1018.15s - 1022.75s |  It's coming out and it's got those big things on its back and the tail and I'm like, okay
1022.75s - 1026.67s |  It's coming out of like a gigantic vagina. That's yeah mounted to the wall
1026.67s - 1033.59s |  Continuing the weird sort of like sexual undertones of these movies. Well, I mean, I don't know
1033.59s - 1037.79s |  I at this point. I think the whole alien biological process
1037.79s - 1043.47s |  It's confusing to me now like completely because I was surprised when they brought Prometheus black goo into this
1043.47s - 1047.03s |  I thought that was gonna be just like this is a prequel or this is a sequel to alien
1047.03s - 1051.39s |  And we're gonna keep it simple, but they try to incorporate stuff from everything and I don't know
1051.39s - 1053.99s |  I was okay with that just cuz it's like oh the black goo
1054.99s - 1056.31s |  Sure
1056.31s - 1059.87s |  No, but like yeah, I mean, I guess they fucked around with stuff in their lab
1059.87s - 1065.31s |  So all all rules are out the window. But yeah, like the first one it's like the other face of the face hugger comes out
1065.31s - 1067.31s |  of an egg
1067.87s - 1073.31s |  The egg is laid by a queen and then the face hugger implants the embryo into your chest and that bursts out and that's a
1073.31s - 1074.67s |  little baby alien
1074.67s - 1076.67s |  You know the with the top hat
1077.47s - 1083.38s |  That thing and that thing I guess grows up
1083.70s - 1087.78s |  Like sheds its skin a bunch of times and grows up into a big black alien
1089.86s - 1093.42s |  And this the process was was very expedited
1093.42s - 1097.58s |  Mmm, she gets that face hugger on her and 15 minutes later, you know
1097.58s - 1102.90s |  yeah, and then the alien I it's like a full-size alien and like a minute and then
1103.38s - 1109.62s |  they don't show a queen but I always thought the queen is the one that grabs people and puts them on the wall and
1109.98s - 1115.18s |  Then webs them up there so that it's eggs can get you. Yeah. No here
1115.18s - 1117.62s |  It's just in there because it's a thing you recognize from aliens
1117.62s - 1123.22s |  I was really expecting the way this movie plays out with all the constant irritating callbacks
1123.22s - 1129.14s |  I was waiting because we have the one pregnant character and then she also gets impregnated by the alien
1129.14s - 1135.22s |  I was like, this is gonna be the origin of the Queen from aliens, isn't it? They didn't do that. Thankfully
1135.22s - 1137.22s |  No, it just turned into Marilyn Manson
1137.82s - 1142.98s |  That was frightening that thing was ugly and creepy. It just turns into the third act of alien resurrection
1142.98s - 1144.62s |  But it's the same thing as alien resurrection
1144.62s - 1148.22s |  It kind of looks more like the engineers from it does because it has their DNA
1148.22s - 1153.50s |  I know the premise was kind of like interesting. I guess like the the
1154.78s - 1158.22s |  Ripley all of Ripley's efforts were for not in the beginning of
1159.34s - 1166.10s |  Alien because I guess the alien survived. Yeah. Well, that's continuing Ripley's tradition of
1166.14s - 1173.14s |  All of her upper efforts being for not. Yes, if you include Alien 3 the happy ending of alien 2 is just eradicated
1173.14s - 1176.42s |  Yeah, and she's just fucked no matter what she does when she tried to kill herself
1176.82s - 1182.02s |  But then they just scooped up a little bit of her DNA and cloned her so that she could make more like yeah
1182.02s - 1185.18s |  I mean, it's it's just like the classic case of
1186.58s - 1192.46s |  concept that starts off really like a simple effect of horror movie and then the writers have to expand on a
1192.86s - 1194.38s |  mythology or a lore that was not
1194.50s - 1197.22s |  Intended to be expanded on so then you get just like
1197.78s - 1198.74s |  junk
1198.74s - 1206.02s |  like people not knowing which direction you're going in just adding shit and taking it away and then rewriting this and
1206.22s - 1211.62s |  Blah blah blah blah blah. Well, that's what's interesting about this movie is that story-wise it is pretty simple and self-contained
1211.62s - 1217.34s |  It's just all the execution and all the like details that they added that muck it up and make it obnoxious
1217.94s - 1219.94s |  Well and that it just wouldn't end
1220.14s - 1224.30s |  Yeah, it was just like it felt laborious at the end
1224.30s - 1227.98s |  It's just like oh no, she's like water. Where are we on now? We're on this other ship
1228.22s - 1230.82s |  she's got to climb down to the cargo bay and
1231.42s - 1236.82s |  It wasn't even like a I don't know. It wasn't even like a surprise that the pregnant girl
1237.90s - 1244.50s |  Was gonna have a alien baby. Yeah, it was a surprise that the Queen stowed away on the the drop ship. Yes
1245.50s - 1248.54s |  And everything's calm you think it's over. Oh my god
1248.54s - 1253.86s |  We have a a fourth act to the movie now and this they tell you because she has the black goo
1255.06s - 1257.06s |  ejection thing and she does it and
1257.26s - 1261.74s |  Then and then so you're just waiting. Yeah, like I know it's not over yet
1261.74s - 1265.06s |  You're gonna do the thing where and then she even like she gets down in her sleeping shorts
1265.50s - 1269.22s |  It's a runs around and she gets out. She gets into the
1269.22s - 1271.22s |  spaces
1271.22s - 1276.10s |  It's like I don't know Fede Alvarez at all. I don't know anything about him
1276.10s - 1278.18s |  I don't even know what he looks like and I've never heard him speak
1278.90s - 1282.92s |  all I've seen is those two movies I'd like to think that as
1284.58s - 1292.58s |  Anyone who has any kind of artistic integrity or leanings as a storyteller an artist would would say
1293.34s - 1294.98s |  Do we have to do that?
1294.98s - 1299.30s |  Yeah, can I do this totally different ending like and explore these?
1299.30s - 1303.54s |  I mean, this is a part of the Disney machine now Fox's Disney. Yeah, I
1304.22s - 1310.22s |  Don't know if that's the the cause of it or what it is. It's a shame with this too because production wise
1310.22s - 1317.98s |  It's so oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah all those like old see it that like 70s future look of the CR TV CR TV's and
1318.06s - 1324.34s |  The set design like it's all great and practical monsters. Yeah most part that I could tell you know
1324.74s - 1327.02s |  Lots of slime lots of good effects
1328.30s - 1334.90s |  And it made me kind of like the in the first half was like I was kind of I was it was a good horror movie
1334.90s - 1338.70s |  I was like scary. I was like it made space like
1339.22s - 1341.22s |  frightening
1341.26s - 1348.10s |  They said the shots out the window and you see this all these like the asteroids going by and just how desolate and like creepy it is
1348.10s - 1352.66s |  and dangerous and it was all super effective until
1353.62s - 1356.94s |  You just felt that medley and like that Android
1357.90s - 1359.02s |  the
1359.02s - 1366.38s |  Synthetic was like ripped in half a different one and its faces down and it's like it and like they go back to it
1366.38s - 1367.06s |  And I was like, oh, okay
1367.06s - 1371.62s |  It's just gonna be a synthetic that they talked to and then there's no reason for it to be the same
1371.90s - 1378.04s |  Model is Ian Homer or whatever and you put a deep fake Ian home face on it where the the mouth feels like
1378.26s - 1380.82s |  Disconnected from the rest of the head didn't look right. Yeah
1381.62s - 1386.78s |  Have it be a new character. That movie is like 50 years old like no one cares
1386.78s - 1392.58s |  I mean they people care about the movie, but the only only people like over
1393.30s - 1400.34s |  Certainly over 40 are gonna go. Oh, that's you know ash from the first alien movie like no one's gonna care who's like
1401.78s - 1407.38s |  Under 30 no one's gonna care at all. So why bother just make it a random Android, right?
1407.86s - 1412.66s |  And who's who's in charge of the bio lab get a new interesting actor to play that part
1412.94s - 1416.86s |  Maybe have an interesting performance from a new Android character
1416.86s - 1423.78s |  I just get that feeling like and this is becoming a cliche at this point where he plops the script down and there you
1424.18s - 1426.62s |  Camera pads back and there's a boardroom
1427.46s - 1430.34s |  30 people in business suits and
1430.90s - 1436.34s |  Then they say we need to maximize efficiency for this movie product when it goes into theaters
1436.34s - 1440.98s |  It has to remind people of this movie in this movie and this movie in this movie our charts and our
1441.58s - 1446.38s |  analytics and biometric data shows that what if people remember that they'll
1447.30s - 1452.26s |  recommended to a friend because it had the scene in it from alien where she climbs down a ladder and you see her close-up of
1452.26s - 1457.90s |  Reebok shoes and then she she she's trying to hit the button of an elevator while the creature is coming
1458.22s - 1464.44s |  They'll remember that scene from alien and our psychiatric division says that they will recommend, you know
1464.76s - 1470.08s |  You got to put that in you got she's got to be in and she didn't have like as revealing of underwear
1470.08s - 1473.08s |  She's going to weave it. Oh, no, we have to blur that out for YouTube
1473.08s - 1478.32s |  It's so revealing but she just had like little sleeping shorts on and you know, so it's like that's that scene
1479.04s - 1481.80s |  The character is in her most vulnerable
1483.76s - 1486.80s |  That's what works so much about that she's like barely wearing any clothes
1486.80s - 1489.92s |  So she's caught off guard and she thinks it's over ready to get in bed
1489.92s - 1496.84s |  She's got her butt crack panties showing and then she realizes there's an alien just kind of like curled up in the wall like a bug
1496.84s - 1501.68s |  It's like dead side. Yeah, and it's oh fuck. Yeah slips into the into the spacesuit
1501.68s - 1506.32s |  So we got to have that scene. Yeah, because that's iconic and and and then just Fede Alvaro's going
1506.96s - 1512.36s |  How much you're gonna pay me? I'll do it, you know, let's it's all gross
1512.36s - 1512.88s |  Yeah
1512.88s - 1519.20s |  and then I wonder about Ridley Scott to because he produced this and I wonder if that was like his idea to incorporate the
1519.28s - 1520.96s |  Prometheus like
1521.44s - 1527.92s |  Mutation shit and bring back the engineers like was that his contribution and it's like one of like 15
1527.92s - 1534.24s |  It's like a ego thing even notes. Yeah, I mean we could be totally wrong and this could be a 100%
1536.16s - 1541.48s |  Fede Alvaro's screenplay 100% I just wanted to pay homage to the entire franchise
1541.48s - 1547.92s |  We could be wrong. Yeah, but our cynical nature takes over and our cynical nature is probably correct
1547.92s - 1553.54s |  I
1556.48s - 1559.96s |  Really don't have any super attachment to the alien franchise
1559.96s - 1563.60s |  I think it's like an interesting franchise just because it's kind of an anomaly
1564.08s - 1566.28s |  Yeah, it doesn't have I mean a Sigourney Weaver
1566.28s - 1569.24s |  I guess is like the lead of the franchise for the first four movies
1569.48s - 1574.20s |  But like I was saying the fact that they are all like so different from each other makes them unique
1574.20s - 1576.36s |  Like I know a lot of people don't like Alien 3
1576.36s - 1577.36s |  I like it quite a bit
1577.36s - 1583.08s |  But that is I know we had a lot of meddling but it is a David Fincher movie like visually
1583.08s - 1586.84s |  It's it's such a great-looking movie and then even Alien resurrection
1586.84s - 1591.76s |  They brought in that weird French guy and every scene between Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder
1591.76s - 1594.48s |  It looks like they're just about to start making out at any moment
1594.48s - 1602.16s |  This is weird like sexual undercurrents and bringing in the the half human half alien baby thing
1603.16s - 1607.80s |  Weird it takes swings weird ideas and then like I said even Prometheus
1608.24s - 1611.56s |  but then this movie comes along and it's just like I
1612.44s - 1617.80s |  Don't know. It just becomes mush comes like baby food. I just I just hate being exhausted
1618.44s - 1623.12s |  Watching a movie. I hate being exhausted and that's that's I think that's the takeaway here is
1624.36s - 1628.44s |  So much effort so much so many great sets
1629.04s - 1634.80s |  Even great performances the guy played the Android was so good. Yeah, and that that idea of
1637.28s - 1643.92s |  Him being like a almost like a simpleton in the beginning like a like a dummy and he's made fun of and
1644.48s - 1649.36s |  And then him switching by a chip to this like, you know
1650.28s - 1651.48s |  evil
1651.48s - 1656.64s |  Evil corporate character. Yeah, and then and our main character loses her connection with him
1656.72s - 1664.08s |  And she's basically the only family she has left and it's interesting. Yeah, and then that I think that he should have been the main character
1664.40s - 1666.40s |  and but but it has to be
1666.72s - 1673.28s |  The Ripley character running around at the end because it has to be that yeah, you know, you're talking about taking swings and
1673.92s - 1675.92s |  This is not it
1676.12s - 1677.16s |  but
1677.16s - 1682.36s |  The opening was like a dead silent like two and a half minute long shot in space
1682.36s - 1685.16s |  It's just dead silence and credits and all you in space
1686.12s - 1689.00s |  Everyone can hear you chew nachos with your mouth open
1690.56s - 1705.14s |  So Jay would recommend alien Romulus and I didn't make one Star Trek reference the whole time I was waiting for one
1705.62s - 1714.06s |  That's fine. Um, I don't think I would I think I'd rather watch the Ridley Scott like Prometheus and alien covenant movies again before this thing
1714.50s - 1721.42s |  Hmm, at least they feel like original. They feel like their own thing. Yeah, that's just obnoxious an AI fan film. Yeah
1722.06s - 1728.02s |  Yeah, I would I would say the same thing like I don't know maybe leave at the 30-minute mark like all the critics did
1729.38s - 1733.30s |  This is shape it up to be a good movie. I've seen enough. I assume the rest of it's good
1733.30s - 1737.06s |  I'm gonna go right by review great performances great scenery great sets
1738.22s - 1740.22s |  Wow, what an amazing picture?
1740.86s - 1742.90s |  I've got an appointment with my doctor
1744.78s - 1750.78s |  Hey plus got 15 other movies to see today. Yeah 15 other Disney products to see today. Maybe that's it
1751.90s - 1755.46s |  Now they watch the first 30 minutes and then they move on to the next Disney product
1755.46s - 1760.18s |  Well, or or like they they're gonna review another movie and it's in like the theater next door
1760.18s - 1766.34s |  Yeah, that starts at like, you know in 30 minutes after this one started then these like, okay, you know, huh?
1767.30s - 1770.18s |  Got it. The new entry of the alien franchise life
1770.98s - 1778.66s |  Artur director Fede Alvarez is brilliant to dark and disturbing has many scares and creepy monster effects to
1779.02s - 1781.46s |  Wow your senses a plus
1782.70s - 1786.02s |  I'm going the next day or less. That's what little do they know
1786.98s - 1793.26s |  It it it it fell off the cliff worse than anything. I've ever seen in my entire life
1794.02s - 1797.34s |  So, yeah, I guess we're the suckers stayed for the whole thing
1804.53s - 1814.11s |  What our next
1814.15s - 1816.15s |  questions will be answered
1816.67s - 1818.67s |  I'm still waiting
1818.67s - 1822.47s |  I'm still waiting for questions to be answered Ridley Scott

  "description": "Eli Roth made a boom boom. Mike and Jay talks about Borderlands. What a misfire! Odd casting choices. No one want to make. Adult professionals pretend to \"care\" about characters in video game they never hear of so they can make a check to pay for their yachts and shrimp. The behind the scenes interviews where these clowns pretend to care might be the most cringe rizz eva. Jayme Loins Curtis (daughter of Bill Curtis son of King Arthur of Legend) is so old even Michael Myers is too old to kill her. Even Activa won't eat her old gut rot. She pretends to love and care about her character, Rizzo McPizzo but don't give none sh*ts. Her net worth is 197 million dollars. Why she even work anymore? Just be grandma and let others have roles. Poor Cate Beckenblachett. Is it that hard to find good project? Tar 2: Back to the Tar Pits? You're much better than to play Ronald McDonald's sister. Kevin Hart like cash. We all know that. He sell out super bowl to tell jokes to audience of mongoloid farmers and city-folk who laugh at man on stage. He take role for cash and babbles about how he's learned so much and loved working with other actors, blah blah blah. Hart has over 500 million dollars in his bank now. Little girl who play Tiny Tim cry when she sees Rotten Tomato score. \"Am I rotten?\" she asks her mommy and daddy. Did I ruin the movie? No. EVERYONE ruin the movie. Especially Eli Roth. Craig Mazin said, \"Take my name out you're f**king mouth!\" before he slapped this film on live TV. Eli Roth left the set in a jet pack when the filming was done. The second he called action for the first time he realized it was a horrible mistake to cast numerous old ladies in the film who players of this game have never ever heard of. Should have made the cast of TikTok stars or YouTubers like the clown MrBeast. \"What have I done?\" he say! I ruined the legacy of this game no one has ever heard of! Whoopsie! Off to shoot Thanksgiving. Maybe making this film was a bad dream? Maybe they fix it in post. Doesn't appear to be so. This movie cost 110 million dollars to make. Sad to think that you could have made 110, one million dollar movies. So many interesting stories and ideas and Borderlands is a result of the old school Hollywood bloat and dinosaur thinking. You could have made 200 million dollars uploading a video to YouTube called \"I tried all the fast foods and guess which one made me sh*t the most\" so many people would have watched that. I'd watch that. End the madness. Art is dead.",

0.62s - 6.22s | This text was transcribed using whisper model: small.en

 Half in the bag whatever you expected. It was going to be it just completely blew you away on every level
7.46s - 15.43s |  Huh?
15.43s - 19.69s |  Now that Bob Newhart died. I wonder if this VHS tape has gone up in value
19.89s - 23.15s |  Maybe I'll send it off to that VHS grading company and oh
24.17s - 31.97s |  Well, I guess without anyone to artificially inflate the value of this. It's just junk
33.81s - 35.81s |  Speaking of junk if you see Borderlands
38.80s - 42.85s |  Destiny awaits
42.97s - 47.77s |  Legend has it that there's this massive treasure hidden in some secret vault
50.21s - 52.21s |  Finally the elusive
52.41s - 57.39s |  Congealed form of human embarrassment has been captured on film in the movie
57.89s - 65.97s |  Borderlands by filmmaker Eli Roth or is this a Zack Snyder movie? I don't know who made this
66.93s - 74.53s |  Elderly comedian Kate Blanchett stars as Lilith in this video game adaptation made by Sony pictures or
75.33s - 77.33s |  Was it Lionsgate?
77.37s - 83.65s |  Wait, aren't all Lionsgate movies straight to red box is red box still in business
84.25s - 89.73s |  The movie also stars midget billionaire comedian Kevin Hart as shooting guns
89.73s - 94.13s |  man a large man stars as punch things man a
94.57s - 99.65s |  Girl throws bombs as throwing bombs kid and Jack black
100.13s - 104.21s |  Stars as annoying movie sidekick robot. That's so annoying
104.21s - 107.69s |  I saw Jar Jar Binks walk out of the theater
108.09s - 111.91s |  He used up an elderly poop yogurt saleswoman
111.91s - 118.33s |  Jamie Lynn Curtis is also in the film as elderly poop yogurt saleswoman scientist
118.81s - 123.13s |  Exposition grandma who has a difficult time killing Michael Myers
123.49s - 126.29s |  But can't seem to kill her own career
127.69s - 133.77s |  This movie was long and no one showed up to it. How long was it?
133.77s - 138.57s |  I never looked at the running time. I mean, it felt like it was three hours an hour or 42. Okay
139.17s - 146.69s |  It definitely felt like one of those movies where they just were like ripping stuff out to get it down to a manageable time and dump
146.69s - 149.69s |  it yes, baby, but the first thing to mention is that
149.69s - 154.09s |  The I don't know if you call drama or
154.89s - 160.33s |  Controversy with it was that Craig mason? Oh, yeah, he wrote the original script for it noble and
161.57s - 167.37s |  Last of us right of us. Yes, he wrote the script for this and then Eli Roth came in and said no
167.37s - 173.09s |  No, it's too good. Let me ruin it. And then Craig mason said I don't want my name on this
173.09s - 177.61s |  So there's a an alias. Oh, I know they don't use Alan Smithy anymore. No, it's like
178.33s - 180.53s |  What's what's the new is there a new? Yeah, there is
181.17s - 183.17s |  Joe Crombie
183.37s - 185.89s |  That's a really great Joe Crombie
187.09s - 191.45s |  As the writer with zero writing credits but borderlands and then in the true the facts
191.45s - 194.17s |  It says Joe Crombie is an alias for Craig mason
194.17s - 199.55s |  Why even do aliases anymore when everybody like back in the like 70s 80s you do Alan Smithy nobody knows
199.85s - 206.21s |  But with the internet what it is now, it's not even worth it. Just publicly trash the movie and move on I guess
206.21s - 210.13s |  I mean if you type in his Craig masons, you know
210.77s - 216.01s |  IMDB it won't show up on it. So unless you're in the know or you really care I guess you'd be like
216.01s - 222.37s |  Oh, oh that you know, so it's like is he co-credited with Eli Roth because I think Eli Roth has a writing credit doesn't he?
222.49s - 229.05s |  Yeah. Okay. Eli Roth is like, yeah the main screenwriter and then with Eli Roth and Joe Crombie
229.05s - 232.97s |  Okay, they're gonna love seeing Cate Blanchett fighting psychos
232.97s - 236.41s |  They're gonna love seeing Kevin Hart kick ass in a way you've never seen before
236.69s - 242.89s |  Well, this is why we saw this movie because it sounded like a dumpster fire and there's other movies like earlier this year
242.89s - 249.13s |  You know madam web came out that is like we skipped that we skip a lot of these types of movies now because they all
249.13s - 256.09s |  Look so like generically bad and this one right out of the gate started with a zero percent rotten tomatoes
256.65s - 258.65s |  zero percent so we're like, oh
259.09s - 262.65s |  Our junk ears perked up. Yeah, sir
262.65s - 267.65s |  Like hey, we haven't seen a terrible terrible studio movie in a while, right? Let's check it out for fun
267.73s - 272.49s |  Right, right things like madam web. I kind of like yeah, it's like I kind of know exactly what's gonna
272.89s - 274.81s |  What's gonna happen or what's wrong with it?
274.81s - 274.97s |  Yeah
274.97s - 278.29s |  But there is kind of like an ironic audience for those like people kind of had fun
278.53s - 283.37s |  Making fun of madam web and there's like things that people joked about like the bad ADR and stuff
283.61s - 290.57s |  So the movies like that are like those venom movies like people seem to genuinely enjoy how like stupid those are and this movie
290.57s - 292.57s |  came out with like no
292.57s - 298.17s |  Barely any publicity. It's just sort of like dumped in theaters like very little build-up very little like
298.69s - 303.03s |  Any sort of promotion for it? It's like, oh, I guess that movies out now
304.05s - 317.02s |  Well, we saw this trailer like like a long time ago and it looked looked like a Guardians of the Galaxy ripoff
317.02s - 319.86s |  Yeah, it was like oh and then I forgot all about it
320.58s - 322.50s |  came out and
322.50s - 325.86s |  then it tanked miserably review wise and I
326.46s - 329.80s |  Didn't quite have the handle on what could be wrong with it
330.38s - 335.42s |  Other than it looking like a Guardians of the Galaxy. Yeah, I'm assuming it's gonna be loud and dumb and unfunny
335.42s - 337.42s |  But I was like it can't be
337.86s - 341.42s |  That bad like zero percent like from that. It went up
342.54s - 349.02s |  Four percent. It's like seven. Yeah, it's like still below man of web couple of reviewers. It's like well, you know
349.62s - 351.62s |  It's it, you know
352.14s - 357.02s |  Something to watch that's like the best review. So I'm like, I'm like I've I've
357.74s - 361.54s |  You know a video game movie adaptation used to be sort of like a joke
361.54s - 365.74s |  Oh, yeah, like, you know the Super Mario Brothers movie and Mortal Kombat movie
365.74s - 368.18s |  Like those movies back then where they were just like super junk
368.30s - 375.18s |  But they've sort of been elevated recently with like Last of Us and Fallout and or even the new Super Mario Brothers movie
375.18s - 380.18s |  Which obviously we're not the target audience for it, but right there's sort of like but it was a faithful
380.50s - 383.62s |  Adaptation of the game as opposed to like the earlier movies
383.70s - 387.98s |  Yeah, the plots for regular movies have gone down so much that
389.18s - 393.06s |  Movies based on video game plots have have like surpassed them
393.06s - 393.42s |  Yeah
393.42s - 401.34s |  well, then you have stuff like Last of Us which is genuinely like well-written and or the fallout show which I haven't watched but is that a
402.14s - 408.66s |  Decent comparison to this movie as far as like action comedy. I know that shows very violent, right?
408.66s - 411.70s |  It's similar in in tone and setting
411.70s - 415.14s |  It's like, you know junk everywhere. It's like post-apocalyptic, right?
415.66s - 419.10s |  It's not space. It's just on earth and the people come from a fall
419.10s - 424.74s |  There's different people in different living situations and the fallout piece shelter people and blah blah blah
424.74s - 429.94s |  But that's obviously much more well done. It's not so much funny as it is just well done
429.94s - 436.22s |  Okay, but yes before everyone gets mad and say I you know besmirch video games, you know
436.22s - 439.74s |  I know video games have they've evolved from you know
439.74s - 445.66s |  Making a Super Mario Brothers movie or a Mortal Kombat movie back when video games were just like very simple
445.66s - 449.46s |  Oh sure. I know now that they are very long complex
450.30s - 457.34s |  Well-written big stories almost to where it's like. Hey, well, that's that's why they they can translate into good movies
457.34s - 457.54s |  Yeah
457.54s - 462.26s |  well as some people would argue that's why they're not worth translating because something like I mean the Last of Us show is
462.26s - 465.84s |  Done really well, but the game is basically a visual
466.40s - 471.84s |  Like you you click a button and it's like I'm sad now boop and then like a whole cutscene happens
471.84s - 477.96s |  Yeah, and it goes on for 20 minutes and you're just watching it. So this game's like that too. Yeah, but this Borderlands game
477.96s - 479.24s |  I don't know much about it
479.24s - 482.04s |  So we were watching this just as a movie because I don't know anything about the games
482.04s - 487.00s |  I know the game from what I've heard. This is like a movie that should have been made like 10 years ago
487.00s - 489.00s |  So it's an older game
489.12s - 493.22s |  In the scheme of like recent popular video games and that sort of world
494.18s - 497.90s |  And I guess it was shot the movie was shot like three or four years ago
498.30s - 501.50s |  It was shot before Eli Roth made Thanksgiving
501.94s - 507.16s |  Which already came out like a year ago. So I guess the story is they made this movie
507.18s - 511.66s |  He rewrote Craig mason script they shot the movie and then right after that
511.66s - 515.74s |  He Eli Roth left to go make Thanksgiving, which is more like in his wheelhouse
515.98s - 519.46s |  So I wonder if it was like he had a horrible experience making this is like fuck
519.46s - 521.26s |  I just want to go make a
521.30s - 527.02s |  Simple cheapo schlock horror film to cleanse the palace the post-production delay
527.02s - 531.06s |  Why I don't know the details of that. I don't know if there are any details of that
531.06s - 534.66s |  I know there was some reshoots that I don't think Eli Roth was involved with I
535.30s - 538.42s |  Didn't notice throughout the movie. There was lots of points where there's dialogue
538.42s - 542.34s |  That's being said by characters that are off-camera or when you're seeing the back of their head
542.50s - 549.42s |  Which is always a sign of like reshoots reworking the script. I believe this was originally supposed to be R rated
549.42s - 552.78s |  I believe that was at the very least. That was the original script
552.78s - 554.50s |  I don't know if it was shot to be an R rated movie
554.50s - 560.98s |  But it definitely has that that feel in the final version like the editing feels sort of like clunky and awkward in parts
561.22s - 566.86s |  So I think it's sort of like a hodgepodge of one of those classic examples of Timothy cooks in the kitchen
567.42s - 571.74s |  That type of movie. I wanted a movie that you just feel great at the end of it
572.54s - 588.11s |  Well, tell me about your friend Eli Roth. Oh
589.47s - 591.75s |  He makes embarrassing schlock
592.47s - 594.83s |  that I sometimes enjoy is he a
596.07s - 600.51s |  Typical example of failing upwards. Yeah. Well, he befriended Quentin Tarantino
601.55s - 604.03s |  So I think that I think that helped him out a lot
604.67s - 609.31s |  At what point after cabin fever? Yeah, I think around the time he made cabin fever
609.31s - 612.39s |  He made the hostile movies which Tarantino produced
613.23s - 618.43s |  So so pretty pretty early on after cabin fever kind of was like a popular film fest movie
619.39s - 625.71s |  He befriended people like yeah, Peter Jackson and Quentin Tarantino and Tarantino, of course put him in stuff as an actor
625.71s - 628.99s |  He's in like in glorious bastards. Yeah, so there's that
630.35s - 634.69s |  He did make and this this movie has Jack Black and Cate Blanchard in it
634.71s - 639.03s |  He made a few years ago House with the clock in its wall house with the clock in its walls
639.03s - 641.03s |  Which was kind of like one of those like?
641.39s - 647.47s |  Young adults fantasy Harry Potter ish type big flop. Was it a flop? Yes
647.95s - 652.47s |  Are you just guessing I'm rolling the dice. Okay that it got bad reviews and it was a flop
652.47s - 657.79s |  No, I think it got decent reviews. I saw it. It wasn't bad. Why did you see it? I got a thing to watch
657.79s - 663.75s |  I don't know a thing for watches. I just saw it. I don't remember why as a TV or something
663.75s - 669.67s |  But uh, yeah, so he did that which was different than all of his earlier like gory, you know hostile movies
669.67s - 671.67s |  But yeah, I was gonna say
672.03s - 674.03s |  He has a weird resume
674.35s - 681.11s |  Cuz yeah, that's like a YA thing and then you know the Death Wish remake, which oh, yeah
681.11s - 682.99s |  It was a flop that was a flop
682.99s - 689.07s |  That was like one of the last things Bruce Willis did before he started doing all the like Redbox movie right Thanksgiving. I enjoyed
689.07s - 691.07s |  I thought that was a clever
691.63s - 698.15s |  Take on a holiday horror picture. Um, that's probably his best film. We did a review on that
698.15s - 700.25s |  Yeah, yeah, and I was like yes
700.25s - 704.45s |  And then you have you have to have the parade yet like whenever we watch the best of the worst movie
704.45s - 709.69s |  I'm like, no, you're doing everything. You're doing it wrong. You don't end up in the woods walking around and you know
709.69s - 711.41s |  You got to have the Thanksgiving Day parade
711.41s - 712.65s |  I know you don't have the budget for it
712.65s - 714.53s |  But that's how it has to end, you know
714.53s - 717.47s |  And then you have to have the turkey and the turkey has a bomb in it
717.97s - 720.27s |  It's a cook someone like it was all like
720.77s - 726.13s |  Here all the beats all the beats and then of course like his list as a producer. Oh, she's crazy
726.13s - 729.01s |  You know, he produced the haunted museum show. Oh
730.29s - 731.89s |  Which which is
731.89s - 733.89s |  just downright awful
734.25s - 741.53s |  because Zach Baggins tells about an item in his haunted museum and then he's like and here's a short film
742.13s - 745.01s |  produced by legendary horror film maker Eli Roth
745.97s - 747.49s |  about this I
747.49s - 749.49s |  haunted fucking object
749.69s - 753.25s |  and then it goes into like this like short film which seems like a like a
753.61s - 759.41s |  Student made it and it's like not about the specific object. It's like just like a story inspired by it
759.41s - 763.69s |  It's not like the backstory of that particular object. It's like a haunted doll, right?
763.77s - 768.05s |  Well, here's a different story about a different haunted doll. It's fictional. Mm-hmm
768.05s - 771.17s |  We don't have to pay the rights for real people involved in it
771.85s - 775.53s |  And it sucked but then he also produced a couple other programs
776.65s - 780.25s |  My possessed pet and a ghost ruined my life
780.93s - 784.51s |  Which is the best title for a TV show of all time Discovery Channel
784.51s - 785.83s |  Oh
785.83s - 791.87s |  Filler it's called those all those shows are called filler. Yeah things to put on during the middle of the afternoon
791.87s - 797.31s |  So if there's one thing his friend Quentin Tarantino taught him is slap your name on something and get a check
797.31s - 800.15s |  I suppose yeah, so yeah, that's uh
801.07s - 806.47s |  But he's kind of had the career of like speaking of Guardians of the Galaxy like pre Guardians of the Galaxy James Gunn
806.75s - 810.67s |  Where he kind of just was involved with lots of different things like he wrote the Scooby-Doo movies
811.03s - 813.03s |  Yeah, he did like web series
813.43s - 815.79s |  Just try until he got like, you know
815.79s - 820.23s |  It's kind of studio break with Guardians and that of course sent him off to do everything he's doing now
820.39s - 824.79s |  so I don't know if maybe this Borderlands movie was like Eli Ross attempts to
825.35s - 832.51s |  Break into a different type of studio movie and it just didn't work out. The production was a disaster
832.51s - 837.71s |  So then he immediately ran back to making a cheapo schlock slasher film because that's what he actually enjoys
837.71s - 843.43s |  I don't know. Yeah could be because it doesn't seem like anyone involved with this movie cared. It's one of those movies
843.43s - 848.43s |  I know it's like a cliche at this point to say something feels like it was like AI generated
848.55s - 853.59s |  But if any movie has ever felt like something cobbled together by AI, it's this
854.35s - 856.79s |  every like tired cliche
857.35s - 860.17s |  Every tired type of like character like archetype
860.39s - 864.03s |  They're all in there in one of those the worst type of plot
864.03s - 866.99s |  Which is the we have to go to the place to get the thing
867.71s - 873.47s |  The rise of Skywalker plot. We got the thing now. We have to go to the other place to get the next thing
873.47s - 877.93s |  Yeah, like maybe that's the plot of the video game. I don't know. Oh, I mean, yeah
878.43s - 884.71s |  I know I never even heard of the video game never even seen anything until the movie came out and I saw some pictures
884.71s - 889.43s |  Yeah, we'll talk about casting in a minute video game. So it felt like yes, here's the scene
889.95s - 892.35s |  Let's move to this location to have an action scene
892.39s - 896.47s |  It did feel like while playing the video game in an hour and 40 minutes because like oh
896.47s - 902.27s |  Here's a exposition scene followed by action scene, you know, whether it's the psychos attack them
902.27s - 905.03s |  They have to go along a monster comes out of the thing
905.79s - 911.47s |  Red guard or whatever they're called come in and attack and then they go get set your watch by when the action scenes start
911.47s - 913.63s |  You could now is the point. Yeah, there we go
914.91s - 917.27s |  Then yeah pretty standard
918.27s - 921.07s |  Science fiction II plot ancient race or
922.67s - 925.03s |  Aurelians or Aurelians something like that
926.27s - 931.19s |  Have a vault of the ancient wisdom and everyone tries to unlock it
931.19s - 935.11s |  But you need these keys to do it. There's an exposition dump like an opening
935.63s - 938.95s |  monologue opening voiceover by Cate Blanchett to explain everything
939.59s - 943.21s |  But then she continues for like the first I don't know 20 30 minutes of the movie
943.37s - 948.05s |  She has other voiceovers and then it just disappears for the rest of the film and all those early voiceovers
948.05s - 952.37s |  She's explaining things that we can understand is already happening in the movie just visually
952.69s - 956.61s |  So it's very like I don't know if they threw that in there to try and make it make sense
956.77s - 961.17s |  But somebody's decision, but I would be the vault. Okay, we'll start there
962.33s - 964.33s |  What is supposed to be in the vault?
964.77s - 968.25s |  Well, they explain it in the very opening and then it's never really mentioned again
968.25s - 973.13s |  other than they want to get to the vault in ancient times a very sophisticated race called or
973.77s - 975.77s |  Aurelians or
975.97s - 977.89s |  Aurelians whatever
977.89s - 979.89s |  bill Aurelians
980.01s - 986.57s |  They ruled the galaxy. They were you know, the smartest race in the galaxy and then they went away
987.45s - 993.29s |  Humans descended from them or humans evolved and then they've just been kind of scrapping together
994.01s - 997.93s |  Their lives by using their leftover technology floating around
998.33s - 1003.69s |  That's very Star Trek to me. It's like oh an ancient civilization, you know had this amazing
1004.89s - 1007.77s |  Amazing technology and that we're trying to duplicate
1007.77s - 1012.41s |  It's just like things something I've seen a million times before so it was like second nature to me
1012.41s - 1018.41s |  I completely understood it and but my point is there everyone for for years decades
1018.41s - 1021.05s |  However long it's been people have thousands of years
1021.77s - 1026.33s |  Trying to find this vault and now we're with our characters who are trying to get to the vault
1026.73s - 1032.17s |  And it's presented as if there's some sort of stakes to them not getting to the vault the state. Yes, there are
1032.49s - 1033.61s |  What are the stakes?
1033.61s - 1039.13s |  The stakes are is that atlas the man who's the big corporate overlord villain?
1039.37s - 1043.21s |  Yeah, if he get opens up the vaults and get gets the technology that's in the vault
1043.61s - 1049.21s |  He'll build weapons and like conquer the galaxy. Let me let me let our characters don't know that
1049.69s - 1050.57s |  Yes
1050.57s - 1054.01s |  They say it in the film they say if atlas gets the vault open
1054.09s - 1057.05s |  He's going to use it to make weapons of mass destruction
1058.01s - 1060.81s |  They say it in the film. Did I watch this movie? I don't know
1061.61s - 1066.33s |  I don't remember any of them. Imagine the vault. It's it's the same plot as raiders of the lost arc
1066.33s - 1069.21s |  Well, that's yeah, that's what I was thinking but it but it feels like you don't want hitler to open
1069.85s - 1075.13s |  The arc has a measurable power in it that and hitler will give that to all of his armies all over the world and
1075.61s - 1077.61s |  We don't want hitler to open the arc
1078.25s - 1080.25s |  That's the plot
1080.25s - 1082.25s |  atlas is hitler
1082.33s - 1084.97s |  Atlas is the bad guy and he wants and he has an army
1084.97s - 1090.49s |  He's you know, the technology and everyone else is scrapping by it's a little star wars and star trek mixed together
1090.97s - 1092.97s |  In a sort of post-apocalyptic
1093.21s - 1097.77s |  Science fiction blah blah blah blah blah. Well, it's like atlas when I watch this I shrugs
1098.09s - 1103.45s |  It checks all the boxes and then and she has a voiceover in the beginning. She's like the daughter of atlas
1104.25s - 1111.21s |  Is i've been hired to go find her blah blah blah blah and and then it becomes like the then she starts talking about the
1111.45s - 1114.17s |  The the legend the legend says you need the key
1114.81s - 1116.81s |  and a true uh
1117.37s - 1120.09s |  Aurelian or whatever the fuck they're called. Yeah, irelian. Um
1120.89s - 1126.25s |  Uh, I don't know person relative daughter of a realist. She said daughter I think
1126.81s - 1130.89s |  Um is the one who can open the set i'm like, oh, it's her. Yeah
1131.29s - 1135.29s |  Oh, yeah, and then they go to the brothel that isn't really a brothel and gena gershon is like
1135.85s - 1139.53s |  Talking about her mother and I knew you were special. It's like, oh, well, it's her
1139.61s - 1143.85s |  Yeah, well, are we even pretending it's not her I I well and I hear we mean cape blanchett
1143.93s - 1146.57s |  Yes cape blanchett spoilers cape blanchett is in the film the main character
1146.65s - 1150.97s |  That's the big twist revelation of the movie is that she's the chosen one. Yes. Yes. Yes
1151.05s - 1153.05s |  but also it's like I I
1153.05s - 1156.73s |  I know nothing about this game and i've never played it and I don't know any of the characters names or anything
1156.73s - 1158.73s |  But her name is lilith
1158.81s - 1161.61s |  Which biblically lilith is the first woman?
1162.25s - 1165.93s |  um, she was the wife of adam and then adam got rid of her
1166.89s - 1172.17s |  And what I got with eve because lilith was was not worthy of the garden of eden or something like that
1172.17s - 1176.49s |  Something she was she was and then she's also kind of like associated with with demons
1176.97s - 1179.29s |  And as always and they keep calling her she double
1179.93s - 1183.61s |  And then she's always depicted with red hair and wings and i'm like, oh
1185.45s - 1187.53s |  Like she's the protagonist her name is lilith
1187.61s - 1191.45s |  She's the the chosen one who's going to open the gate at the end. Yeah, you know, I was like, oh, yeah
1191.45s - 1195.37s |  Yeah, yeah, she's it's going to be her and then the little girl's the the red herring
1195.53s - 1218.83s |  Yeah
1218.83s - 1225.47s |  I also think it's a testament to eli. I mean look at the women in this project, you know, you have one badass
1226.11s - 1232.91s |  Strong tough cool woman after the other. So here's the problem with the movie. Let's just get down right down to it. Okay
1233.55s - 1236.35s |  Uh, it's a it's a fairly. Okay
1236.99s - 1242.51s |  Action movie, I guess it's not super inventive or clever. There's no fun to it
1242.51s - 1246.11s |  Like, you know, the james gun guardians movies always have some kind of fun
1246.99s - 1249.39s |  Action scene where he throws in some old
1249.77s - 1255.15s |  70s pop song and the camera's doing fun things and there's lots of visual gags and they're inventive
1255.63s - 1257.63s |  Fun things happen along the way
1257.95s - 1264.11s |  Here it's like they get to the place the cyclo psychos. They call them which are like mad max villains
1264.27s - 1269.31s |  They show up. We have to shoot them. Yeah, it's just lots of shooting. Everything feels so uninspired
1269.31s - 1275.71s |  That's why I say it feels like ai generated where it's like right. It looks like a movie. It's poorly directed action
1275.87s - 1281.47s |  Yes, and it's but you know if you're just like want to watch some action movie
1282.43s - 1285.95s |  Like it's on that level, you know, like like it doesn't feel broken
1286.91s - 1289.71s |  The way something like a madam web does I guess right? Yeah
1290.75s - 1292.27s |  but also
1292.27s - 1297.39s |  I I think there is a point in the first like 10 minutes where I was okay with getting up and leaving
1297.79s - 1304.03s |  I got it. I saw enough and I kind of knew where it was going because the very first scene of the one of the quote
1304.91s - 1309.55s |  daughter daughters of atlas the spoiler alert atlas is
1310.11s - 1312.11s |  using an ancient drop of
1312.57s - 1319.71s |  Aurelian blood mixed with his own dna to create cloned offsprings in the attempt of creating a true
1320.35s - 1326.83s |  Daughter of Aurelian to help open the vault. Yes, so she is not in fact his real daughter. She's just one of many
1327.79s - 1329.79s |  clones or
1329.85s - 1333.15s |  Fabrications that in this space lab that's floating in outer space
1334.35s - 1336.19s |  But we don't know that in the beginning
1336.19s - 1337.95s |  spoiler alert
1337.95s - 1339.95s |  so the scene opens with
1340.19s - 1346.59s |  Kevin Hart who's a soldier of someone and he's there to steal her or rescue her or kidnap her
1346.59s - 1352.35s |  I don't know what but they blow the door open and Kevin Hart comes in and he and it's all done in just like
1352.83s - 1356.67s |  Flat close-up shots and she's like, oh, what's his name like?
1357.23s - 1360.51s |  Bernard or he's Kevin Hart Kevin Hart. She's a Kevin Hart
1361.15s - 1362.27s |  Um
1362.27s - 1364.27s |  And he's like i'm here to save you
1364.59s - 1366.59s |  Or take you away
1366.59s - 1370.83s |  Get you out of this prison. Oh, so my father sent his shortest soldier
1371.95s - 1373.95s |  now
1374.27s - 1377.79s |  How do you shoot that jay in close-ups, yeah, just to
1378.51s - 1380.51s |  How do you punch that joke?
1380.83s - 1384.75s |  In close-ups. Yeah, just stay on this. You don't cut to a wide so you can see Kevin Hart's height
1384.75s - 1386.27s |  Which we haven't seen at this point
1386.59s - 1391.47s |  The only way you know that that's a joke is if you know that Kevin Hart is famously very tiny
1392.03s - 1394.99s |  But in the context of the movie, we haven't seen anything other than this
1396.27s - 1400.91s |  The whole movie is this kind of except for the action scenes where it's just they're all like they shot all their
1401.39s - 1403.79s |  scenes in Eli Roth's basement on a green screen
1404.59s - 1410.19s |  That's Quentin Tarantino's basement. Eli Roth didn't have the space for it. He said Quentin. Can I come over this afternoon?
1410.27s - 1412.27s |  I'm making a movie green screen
1412.27s - 1414.27s |  What the fuck?
1414.75s - 1415.71s |  So
1415.71s - 1419.15s |  Yeah, there were there were many i'm trying to I wish I had a like
1419.95s - 1421.55s |  pen and paper
1421.55s - 1424.19s |  I mean, yes, I know I could take notes on my phone everyone
1425.31s - 1427.63s |  I guess he could have in this movie because there was no one else in the theater
1427.95s - 1429.31s |  There's like three people in the theater
1429.31s - 1434.43s |  So I could have taken out my phone phone and typed notes in but I don't like doing right unless i'm in the top row
1434.75s - 1438.83s |  That was the time I took on my phone and I was playing solitaire because everyone always calls me out on that
1439.15s - 1440.51s |  We hate movie theaters
1440.51s - 1443.15s |  We hate people looking at their phones, but I only did that
1443.71s - 1450.67s |  When I knew for sure there was no one behind me. You would not be bothering anyone else during the correct theatrical screening of
1452.67s - 1455.23s |  Breaking dawn part two. Yeah, I don't remember
1455.87s - 1459.87s |  What it was but I was we were way up high and there was no one behind me
1460.11s - 1465.47s |  So I would never and and this there was a guy in the middle who probably was in the sight of line of sight
1465.79s - 1468.11s |  So I didn't want to do that. Even if there's one guy you don't want to annoy him
1468.27s - 1471.79s |  I was I was trying to take down notes because i'm like that's a joke there
1472.43s - 1474.43s |  But you can't shoot it like that. You got to move this around
1474.51s - 1478.99s |  You got to frame it like this because there were parts that were sort of funny. I think I laughed once
1479.71s - 1481.71s |  but I think the thing is is like
1482.35s - 1485.31s |  The where was this a humorous movie?
1486.03s - 1488.03s |  Was it made for children?
1488.35s - 1493.39s |  Because it all the jack black like one liners were super like kitty related
1493.63s - 1497.47s |  Yeah, well and they were just a no it was like non-stop this robot and the family
1498.17s - 1504.59s |  Babbling. Yes. Yes. Yes. Keep saying things keep talking or no one's laughing. Yeah, and I was like, well
1505.71s - 1507.71s |  Yeah, he wasn't a funny sidekick
1508.27s - 1512.67s |  And maybe he would he might have made like six to eight year olds laugh
1513.23s - 1517.39s |  With some of those bits. Maybe he said like poopy pants and he's making like dumb jokes and
1517.95s - 1523.15s |  And it was like grown inducing for adults, but and it was just so much. He just never stopped
1523.63s - 1528.75s |  Like little kids would would find that robot charming and funny, but anyone above eight probably wouldn't and then
1529.31s - 1533.39s |  And I have no idea if that's an accurate portrayal of that character from the video game. Yeah. Yeah
1534.27s - 1537.47s |  I did see a quick interview with eli roth. I don't know if we want to go into casting
1537.55s - 1541.47s |  Yes, because I know what you're going to talk about. I saw yeah some interview where he's talking about like
1541.79s - 1544.75s |  Well, he cast for the movie not to be accurate to the video game
1545.63s - 1550.03s |  because like the character the little character is cape blanche in the movie, but I guess the character is like
1550.43s - 1552.43s |  young and hot in the video game and
1553.55s - 1555.55s |  I think eli roth has a thing for gilfs
1556.11s - 1557.79s |  Based on this movie
1557.79s - 1560.75s |  We got cape blanche and jina gershon and jamie lee kurtis
1561.31s - 1562.75s |  Which obviously
1562.75s - 1564.75s |  Jamie lee kurtis was showing some cleavage
1564.91s - 1570.03s |  Yeah, so did jina gershon was showing a ton of cleavage. So he's a thing for for gilf tits. I don't know
1570.51s - 1572.75s |  You know, that's a lot of very strong
1573.95s - 1575.15s |  women
1575.15s - 1580.59s |  In in one production and eli's just like yeah, you know, it's it's very cool
1581.23s - 1583.71s |  Um, I will say like on paper
1583.87s - 1589.07s |  I I support the idea of like doing something different where you have a bunch of like mature women in your movie
1589.15s - 1590.67s |  Just because it's different
1590.67s - 1595.71s |  Um, but everybody's miscast uh horribly cape blanche at one of the best actors working today
1596.27s - 1601.55s |  But she's not this character whatever the star lordy smart ass character. She came off as
1602.51s - 1608.43s |  Very very miscast very awkward. It felt like it was like a bad actor and you're like, I know she's not a bad actor
1608.51s - 1613.47s |  Yeah, this just isn't her role. It reminded me of like on snl when they do their little not the live skits
1613.47s - 1618.11s |  But they do like the pre-taped like fake trailers and stuff and you have the celebrity guests of the week in it
1618.11s - 1619.47s |  It kind of felt like that
1619.47s - 1624.75s |  Like it's funny that she's playing this type of character because she never would because she's too classy and good for it
1624.83s - 1630.19s |  Yeah, it's weird. I I did see that interview and uh, it was with like a like a younger woman
1630.43s - 1633.31s |  I don't even know. I just saw it on like twitter. There's like a clip of it
1633.47s - 1636.59s |  Yeah, and she and he's like it wasn't about changing age
1636.75s - 1641.31s |  I'm reading the script and i'm not thinking about the game. I'm thinking about the movie who are the best actors
1641.47s - 1645.31s |  And you're you're talking about the best actor in the world, you know, you go right to cape blanche it
1645.39s - 1649.71s |  She said yes, and it's like well, it's not really ageism. It it
1650.35s - 1653.79s |  If you look at it that way it is but from a movie perspective like
1654.59s - 1660.43s |  It was just weird. I thought she was just too old for that type of part because she's doing like action flips
1660.51s - 1665.31s |  And she's being thrown around and there's a company. It looks like she knows what she's doing in those scenes
1665.55s - 1668.99s |  Right, she probably didn't she's a different type of actress
1670.67s - 1672.67s |  She's talking to jamie lee kurtis and and
1672.99s - 1675.79s |  Her mother gave her to jamie lee kurtis when she was young
1676.35s - 1681.55s |  And i'm like you guys are like the same age. They're like 10 years apart. Yeah, that like how old is cape blanche?
1681.63s - 1683.63s |  She born in like 1970
1684.59s - 1686.59s |  And she's like I don't know 55
1687.55s - 1689.55s |  Yeah, 74. Maybe a little bit older.
1689.55s - 1692.11s |  Jamie lee kurtis is like 65 I would say
1692.91s - 1695.07s |  And so there's like I don't know
1695.31s - 1698.83s |  Just cape blanchett would have been better in the jamie lee kurtis role because jamie lee kurtis
1699.15s - 1701.15s |  Definitely didn't know what she was doing in this
1701.31s - 1705.47s |  She gave it the most effort. She was being like enthusiastic just because she's jamie lee kurtis
1705.55s - 1709.87s |  That's the general aura she gives off, but she didn't look like she knew what the fuck was going on either. No
1710.91s - 1712.91s |  and then kevin hart
1713.07s - 1715.07s |  Didn't do anything funny
1715.31s - 1721.39s |  Which is odd like well, I wasn't sure what his character was everybody else had that like generic archetype
1721.47s - 1724.19s |  Like cape blanchett. She's basically like a star lord
1724.59s - 1731.63s |  You have the comical robots c3po jar jar binks the drax guy is the big there's a drax equivalent without the humor
1731.79s - 1736.43s |  Without the humor. He just goes he's like bane in the shumaker movie or something
1737.07s - 1739.07s |  Um, but then kevin hart's just kind of there
1739.55s - 1743.79s |  He was he was a soldier. Did he revolt? Where did he come from? What's his story?
1744.67s - 1749.47s |  He doesn't have like anything to work with roland is a guy who has a
1750.67s - 1753.23s |  narrative attached to an agenda of good
1753.71s - 1759.39s |  Right and his agenda of good comes from once upon a time being a part of something
1759.87s - 1764.91s |  That wasn't so good that he felt that he had to detach from because of where his life is taken
1765.15s - 1768.27s |  And in this new place of living in this new place of life
1768.67s - 1770.51s |  There's a found respect
1770.51s - 1777.15s |  For the place of pandora and for the things that possibly could be attached in it or to it where he can be
1777.79s - 1784.11s |  Part of the conversation of making better, but he wasn't funny. No, he didn't make jokes and which is good because
1785.07s - 1787.07s |  uh, I didn't want him like
1788.11s - 1793.97s |  Cracking wise the whole time just put him as the voice of the robot. Sure get rid of jack black. He's irritating
1794.45s - 1799.57s |  Hey, this is only the second most embarrassing thing jack black is done this year
1800.13s - 1805.73s |  So like confused looking actors aside. It's it's like a competently made movie
1806.53s - 1808.29s |  everything is like
1808.29s - 1810.45s |  Like it wasn't like a mess. It wasn't like a disaster
1810.61s - 1815.97s |  No, but it's just not very inspired like with the way it's shots and the yeah the pacing of it and all that stuff and that
1816.61s - 1822.21s |  I was thinking about that because it looks like an expensive movie. Obviously, there's lots of big sets and effects and stuff
1822.85s - 1827.57s |  And they're not like terrible. There's no real bad effects in the movie, but everything felt so
1828.45s - 1832.29s |  Like artless as far as like the set design and set decoration
1833.49s - 1837.49s |  Well just in like cluttered and not cluttered in like a way that has any sort of style to it
1837.57s - 1839.57s |  It just looked like like cluttered and ugly
1840.13s - 1842.13s |  every set it reminded me of like a lot of the like
1842.85s - 1845.65s |  I don't know like bloated 90s movies like uh
1846.29s - 1850.85s |  Like tank girl or like judge dread. It reminded me of those
1851.81s - 1855.57s |  You butt smear what did I tell you don't say butt smear
1861.42s - 1866.14s |  I want people to go. That is the best time i've had in a movie theater in years. That was worth the wait
1867.10s - 1872.30s |  A lot of money was blown on this and it just feels like there's no art or style to it
1872.86s - 1876.94s |  Yeah, that's true. I I guess I don't really think about that but um
1877.42s - 1879.02s |  because in in
1879.02s - 1883.26s |  These kinds of movies I will reference guardians like you're gonna keep going back to guardians of the galaxy
1883.26s - 1886.86s |  There's all these junky weird planets, but they all have but there's so much thought put into it
1886.94s - 1889.34s |  There's a lot of thought put into them and then like you're like
1889.34s - 1893.98s |  Oh, that's neat that the way that that like that one city at the end of borderlands where it just was like
1894.06s - 1900.70s |  It's a big clump. It's just something. Yeah, it's like they just glued together a bunch of like, I don't know model kits
1901.10s - 1902.06s |  like yeah
1902.06s - 1907.02s |  I mean on cg, but the desert land was like oh, they actually filmed a vasquez rocks
1907.02s - 1910.54s |  We got to mention that every day they did that's a cliche at this point
1910.62s - 1914.46s |  Like it's like using the willhelm scream. You just got to stop doing it. Which was also in the
1915.10s - 1917.82s |  Wasn't oh, I didn't even notice. It was early on. No
1918.30s - 1922.22s |  uh, yeah, they filmed a vasquez rocks and rocks in the same place that
1923.02s - 1926.70s |  Only rich evans and I have taken a photograph in the famous
1927.42s - 1929.58s |  Entrance way to vasquez rocks. Yeah
1930.22s - 1933.02s |  You're the only people in existence to ever ever recreate that
1933.82s - 1937.90s |  Image. Yeah, they feel I know exactly where they were and uh, i'm sure a lot of
1938.54s - 1942.70s |  Other people do who have been there but have not taken a forward at the same exact spot
1943.02s - 1949.18s |  But yeah, they film a vasquez rocks in their desert landscape. They kind of recreated like larger versions of those angular
1950.22s - 1952.62s |  rock formations in the distance and then they have like a
1953.34s - 1955.02s |  monster
1955.02s - 1959.02s |  That comes out of the ground and has a big teeth and a big round mouth of teeth
1959.26s - 1964.38s |  It looks like the the big monster from the opening of guardians of the galaxy too that they're shooting at that they're trying to get
1964.46s - 1966.46s |  It's just like a big big like characterless
1967.34s - 1973.50s |  Artless blob cgi monster and they drive their truck through it. Yeah, I there's never that one moment where I go
1973.66s - 1978.38s |  Oh, that's a neat idea. Like oh, that's a neat visual. It's all very black. It's so stock
1978.62s - 1982.86s |  But yeah that that same that monster it looks exactly like that in guardians of the galaxy too
1982.94s - 1988.46s |  That's the big opening of of guardians of the galaxy too. And the whole thing is it it eats batteries
1989.02s - 1990.06s |  Which is a weird concept
1990.30s - 1992.30s |  So they're there to stop it from eating the batteries
1992.94s - 1996.46s |  And then rocket steals the batteries and that leads to a plot point. So it's a good
1997.02s - 1999.50s |  Weird creative things that actually tie in with the story
1999.58s - 2002.46s |  It's not just a big monster and we have to shoot at it now
2002.86s - 2006.38s |  And then move on to the next thing he drove their car through it
2006.38s - 2010.14s |  They jumped the car and then he shot a missile and exploded the back and they drove out the back
2010.22s - 2012.22s |  That's exactly what happened
2012.30s - 2015.02s |  That's literally what happened. Yeah, it's it's just like like a
2015.98s - 2022.46s |  I don't say poor man's guardians of the galaxy and uncreative man's guardians of the galaxy. It's it's like
2023.58s - 2029.50s |  Uh people I saw lots of comments. I was looking through the reviews like user reviews, you know one star half star terrible movie
2030.22s - 2036.06s |  Horrible cgi like when people can't articulate why they don't like something. They just say horrible cgi and the cgi wasn't horrible
2036.54s - 2038.54s |  The effects are all good now
2038.78s - 2043.90s |  They're not like they're not great. This felt very green screeny at moments. It wasn't great
2044.38s - 2050.30s |  But it's very serviceable that's not the problem. The problem is art direction set design
2050.86s - 2054.14s |  Create general creativity general creativity lack of like
2054.84s - 2056.84s |  Cleverness with the writing
2057.02s - 2064.14s |  Um, it's like trying to be funny and clever, but it can't just it's just not on the same level as other movies
2064.70s - 2066.46s |  Casting is all wrong
2066.46s - 2068.46s |  kind of a genericy
2068.46s - 2071.42s |  Predictable plot like there wasn't really much to get out of this
2071.58s - 2074.70s |  It felt like I was watching someone play the video game
2075.42s - 2078.30s |  Borderlands without like really enjoying it. Yeah
2078.78s - 2080.78s |  um, and no
2080.84s - 2081.98s |  charisma
2081.98s - 2084.94s |  no, um, the the characters didn't have really
2085.98s - 2089.18s |  The uh, what do they call when they work together? Uh, like
2091.63s - 2093.63s |  chemistry chemistry
2094.29s - 2095.89s |  Thank you jay
2095.89s - 2099.81s |  No one had any chemistry. Yes. Yes. There's no magic
2100.21s - 2103.01s |  It just felt like a bunch of actors in costumes that were just
2103.65s - 2107.49s |  Yelling lines and you know, and it's like you have cape planchett
2108.77s - 2112.45s |  And you're making her do this and and Eli Roth is just saying like
2113.17s - 2114.37s |  um
2114.37s - 2116.37s |  He's like I cast the
2116.45s - 2118.45s |  best actors
2118.53s - 2120.53s |  like that like yeah, I mean
2121.41s - 2127.25s |  Everybody thinks cape blanchett's a great act. I think Meryl Streep's a great actress, but i'm not going to put her in a red wig
2128.05s - 2131.57s |  And have her be like a space bounty hunter wise crack and it just doesn't work
2132.13s - 2134.37s |  Yes, there are great actresses, but they just don't fit
2135.01s - 2140.21s |  And it is a little age thing. She's a little too old to play that part
2140.21s - 2142.77s |  It's like why are you not why you retired as a bounty hunter?
2144.29s - 2147.97s |  Yes, i'm being judgy, I guess. I don't know. It just doesn't work. It just doesn't work
2148.05s - 2153.17s |  I think it could have worked with the right like I think like I don't know how old charlie's theorem is compared to cape blanchett
2153.17s - 2156.77s |  They're probably not too different, but I can see charlie's theorem working in this part
2156.85s - 2158.21s |  I think it is
2158.21s - 2161.49s |  Partially just like the general like vibe of the actor too
2161.97s - 2165.57s |  Like cape blanchett just doesn't work in this part. But again, I
2166.21s - 2168.45s |  Don't want to compare it too much to guardians of the galaxy
2168.53s - 2170.53s |  But you look at all those actors together
2170.85s - 2171.57s |  And they yeah
2171.57s - 2176.69s |  They play off each other the camaraderie the the back and forth the movie will take moments to stop with
2177.09s - 2179.09s |  Moving the plot forward just to have them
2179.49s - 2180.69s |  You know
2180.69s - 2186.29s |  Be fun together like watching them like play off each other. You could watch those characters just do
2186.93s - 2190.85s |  Nothing. Yeah, and chit chat and it's entertaining with this
2191.81s - 2198.77s |  It's it's a flat line. You don't feel like the characters have any life outside of what is explicitly stated in the script, right?
2199.01s - 2204.13s |  Or until like the action starts up again. I mean you could have started the movie with cape blanchett at her space house
2204.93s - 2207.09s |  like retired like watching like
2207.57s - 2211.67s |  You know interdimensional cable and just sitting there eating like pistachios
2212.47s - 2218.39s |  And someone comes in and says, you know, I I haven't bounty hunted in 15 years get the fuck out of my house
2218.47s - 2221.03s |  No, but you're you're you're purported to be the best
2221.75s - 2223.75s |  The best in the business
2224.71s - 2227.83s |  You know, they had a couple lines where she's like i'm getting too old for this she
2228.39s - 2233.43s |  Actually says i'm getting too old for this shit. It's just a wink wink, but she's literally doing it
2233.83s - 2236.95s |  So why say that if you're literally doing it? I know it's just lame
2237.11s - 2241.19s |  Yeah, that's where I actually like the rest of the movie like, you know cape blanchett's such a good actor
2241.35s - 2244.63s |  She's not like embarrassing herself in this. She's just not right for the part
2244.87s - 2249.99s |  But at the end when she's like flying around with these like cg fire wings, I was like, oh man
2251.99s - 2253.99s |  You were just tar
2255.11s - 2256.87s |  How are you doing this
2256.87s - 2259.27s |  That's the only time I felt I felt kind of bad for her
2259.75s - 2265.83s |  Thanks for having me. So the last time you're here we talked about your movie tar you play a conductor and composer now
2265.83s - 2267.83s |  You're an intergalactic bounty hunter
2268.23s - 2269.75s |  Yeah
2269.75s - 2276.47s |  I like I like analyzing these movies like post-mortem and kind of like going why don't you do that? What's this about?
2278.07s - 2283.91s |  All these decisions that were made why are we seeing so much dialogue from characters that are off camera or the back of their heads?
2283.99s - 2289.19s |  What did they change? Is this to cut out swearing? Did you rewrite the plot while making the movie?
2289.99s - 2294.15s |  And the biggest lesson of all is when eli ross says to you just trust me
2295.67s - 2297.67s |  Don't
2298.15s - 2299.19s |  Don't
2299.19s - 2302.47s |  Maybe if it's an episode of a ghost ruined my life
2303.11s - 2308.23s |  You know, hey, i'll trust you on these decisions. Hey, he has his place. Thanksgiving was fun
2309.19s - 2311.19s |  But that doesn't require
2311.91s - 2315.51s |  It's too much like wit or style he has a certain skill set and this is not it
2315.67s - 2318.87s |  Yes, and kate lanchette has a certain skill set and this is not it
2319.59s - 2323.03s |  I think you can just go down the list of the casting curves on this. That's the answer
2323.35s - 2325.35s |  Yeah
2325.35s - 2331.11s |  The production designer i'm sure they have a great set of skills, but this isn't it i've worked on downton abbey
2332.23s - 2334.23s |  You want me to do what now?
2334.47s - 2336.23s |  You want me to?
2336.23s - 2337.43s |  to do
2337.43s - 2339.43s |  What now?
2340.23s - 2345.83s |  I really love downton abbey and I love all the costumes that you've made just cover the set and garbage
2346.87s - 2351.11s |  Go get the rubbish bin dump it all over the floor
2351.99s - 2355.35s |  I've never been asked to rubbish up the queen's palace
2357.91s - 2361.75s |  Perhaps you do want the guy that worked at the mad max films
2362.71s - 2365.67s |  No, he's busy. I love downton abbey. It's my favorite show
2367.92s - 2369.92s |  Rubbish up this set
2370.00s - 2372.00s |  right quick

 Half in the bag. Wait you dig on multiverses
14.06s - 22.42s |  Hello movie phone, I'd like to know what the next Showtime for Deadpool and Wolverine is hey quit talking to my grandma
23.26s - 31.08s |  The the movie phone number is my grandma's old phone number. Oh, no, I'm calling my old roommate. His last name is movie phone
32.46s - 34.46s |  Joseph movie phone
36.10s - 38.10s |  Whose bid is better?
38.62s - 44.18s |  Vote now on which bid is better or which bid is least worst least worst
44.38s - 51.06s |  Which is best of the word is old roommate happens to have last name movie phone or the movie phone number has now been
51.14s - 53.14s |  assigned to my grandma hmm
53.38s - 54.78s |  Who is dead?
54.78s - 56.06s |  so
56.06s - 60.10s |  You know, it just keeps ringing. This is layers and layers to that Joe
60.10s - 66.30s |  Yeah, I talking to a ghost does the phone keep ringing and I'm imagining I'm talking to somebody right
66.30s - 72.26s |  This is why we weren't allowed in the writers room for Deadpool and Wolverine, right? Yeah, we're not that funny
73.30s - 78.30s |  We're funny enough though to be asked to be in the writers room for the acolyte season too. Oh
79.90s - 84.46s |  Cuz our our jokes come off of just like regular at old dialogue
92.18s - 94.18s |  You oh
94.50s - 99.66s |  Sorry hug Jackman is back as the Wolverine. That's a genuine typo. I
100.22s - 101.42s |  Can prove that here
101.42s - 103.94s |  Wait, is it a typo in that you wanted the joke to be hugged?
103.94s - 107.42s |  Yeah, I mean or you did you take it right on the computer and then take a screenshot
107.42s - 114.38s |  I didn't you wrote this the printer wasn't working. This is this is it's called technology improvisation Jay
115.82s - 117.66s |  Yes, I
117.66s - 121.10s |  Had so embarrassed to be sitting next to you right now. Look at look
121.66s - 128.44s |  My it takes me it would take me two hours to write this on my little keypad with the sausage finger. Okay, okay
129.94s - 132.50s |  Print fucking the prints not gonna and then
133.14s - 138.82s |  All right. Oh, so my question is did you intend it to be a joke and call him hug Jackman or you just miss
139.82s - 143.46s |  But I have to read it as written. That's of course. Yeah contracts hug
143.46s - 147.10s |  Jackman is back as the Wolverine and Deadpool 3 aka
148.06s - 152.94s |  Deadpool and Wolverine or Wolverine and Deadpool. Oh, it's Deadpool and Wolverine baby
152.94s - 159.22s |  Oh, he gets that's gotta get top billing the team up for the ages Ryan Reynolds is back as the sassy
160.34s - 165.74s |  flamboyant smart-mouthed Wade Wilson and even though Wolverine died in Logan
165.94s - 171.94s |  Marvel has introduced the multiverse so now we could bring back any character we want but hey fuck it
171.94s - 178.30s |  It's all in good fun. Or is it now do the hardcore Marvel fans hate this kind of stuff?
178.30s - 183.94s |  I have a feeling if Star Wars made a movie that was filled with swears and fourth wall breaking
183.94s - 189.30s |  All those Star Wars fans would really be mad about it. This is a genuine question I have for you
189.66s - 193.94s |  Oh shit, I forgot. I'm typing the intro and not talk. Well, let's start there. Oh my god
193.94s - 202.30s |  Well, let's start there Jay because that's something I was thinking about during this because obviously if you're vaguely familiar with the Deadpool movies
203.06s - 206.26s |  There is fourth wall breaking. There is inside jokes. There is
206.82s - 210.30s |  All sorts of stuff comedy self-awareness looking at the camera
210.98s - 213.18s |  bringing back characters that are
214.30s - 218.90s |  Basically jokes and to themselves. Yeah failed attempts at
219.94s - 224.94s |  Movies inside studio jokes the whole kit and kaboodle
224.94s - 230.86s |  Can you imagine going to see this movie without being aware of the last like 20 years of comic book movies?
230.86s - 233.66s |  This would be completely incomprehensible, right?
234.14s - 236.14s |  so I was thinking like
236.78s - 241.90s |  given like how like, you know our recent dealings with like the acolyte and stuff like that is like
242.26s - 249.10s |  How very like sensitive the Star Wars fans are to their their stories and cannon and characters and all that and what if?
249.78s - 255.50s |  Someone came along and made like not not a spaceballs kind of movie, but a Star Wars movie
255.50s - 261.88s |  It's just like really violence and I'm full of like swearing everyone swearing. Everyone's breaking cannon
262.54s - 265.66s |  Everyone's bringing back characters that are dead. They're having jokes
266.86s - 271.74s |  Either make it like, you know, George Lucas has a guest appearance as I'm not from under shit
271.74s - 276.70s |  Yeah, and then he farts in his and in his diaper and he walks off the set, you know
277.02s - 282.06s |  You know all sorts of crazy stuff happens Anthony Daniels like rips his costume off
282.18s - 288.22s |  I'm not playing this fucking robot anymore pay me more money, you know, and then like all those sorts of jokes
288.70s - 292.70s |  What if that happened? Yo dudes the Empire's pretty chill
292.70s - 297.74s |  Maybe you could like join it or something and I bring this up because this movie
298.30s - 300.30s |  was fantastic
300.62s - 306.58s |  And it was playing we went to a theater that had 14 screens and it was playing on 13 of them. Yes
306.74s - 309.22s |  And this is gonna make some money. I can guarantee you that much
309.46s - 312.18s |  This is like the only sure hit of the year
312.18s - 316.90s |  I think where everyone just knew for months and months leading up to this that it was going to be a big hit and after a
316.90s - 318.34s |  slew of
318.34s - 319.70s |  I don't know
319.70s - 321.54s |  stinkers
321.54s - 323.54s |  Uh, you know money talks
324.50s - 328.82s |  Bullshit walks and money talks and then Disney's gonna go. Hey, can we do this with Star Wars?
329.14s - 333.94s |  You want to give me that sandwich? I'm actually gonna take this home my dog. I am your dog
334.58s - 335.94s |  I
335.94s - 339.86s |  I don't know. I think is that is that or is that just too too far?
339.94s - 343.94s |  I think that's too far with Star Wars because Deadpool that's his whole shtick
344.26s - 349.46s |  But it doesn't break canon of like and especially now that they introduced the multiverse crap. You can do whatever you want
350.02s - 352.42s |  I guess you could introduce the multiverse of the Star Wars
352.50s - 356.10s |  I don't know, but I think the fact that Deadpool is like he's kind of in his own little pocket
356.10s - 362.02s |  He's doing his own thing. I get that. Um, and this doesn't really I mean, I know it does tie in with the uh,
362.18s - 366.66s |  Loki tv show that whole like time cup angle that's directly from that
367.06s - 369.06s |  I didn't watch that show, but I know it's from that
369.46s - 374.58s |  So I I think as a little kind of like anomaly in the overall now the mcu
375.22s - 381.94s |  Before he was fox introduced a multiverse in Star Wars. I'm just saying it's just we thought we didn't think before rise of skywalker
381.94s - 388.82s |  They were in his time traveled. So any anything's anything's uh, grabs now when falling down the core of the death star. He uh,
389.38s - 395.14s |  Dr. Strange opened a portal and he fell through it or something the equivalent of that star wars land where then uh,
395.46s - 395.70s |  You know
395.70s - 402.10s |  He ended up in a cave on some world and sat around with some tubes in him for 100 years until he grew powerful again
402.66s - 404.90s |  That I would have liked more. I think a clone
405.30s - 407.46s |  Star wars needs some sort of shot in the arm
407.54s - 409.54s |  Maybe that would be it because this is I think
410.10s - 415.22s |  What benefits this movie one is the fact that it's been like six years since the last Deadpool
415.70s - 418.74s |  If this had come out like two years after the last one i'd be like, okay
418.98s - 423.38s |  This this shtick is tired now the fourth wall breaking. It's never completely worked for me
423.38s - 426.98s |  Anyway, even though I acknowledge that it's funny. It just doesn't make me personally laugh
427.86s - 432.26s |  Um, I had two very big laughs in this movie, but a lot of it was just kind of mild chuckles
432.50s - 435.38s |  It's like I get the eye that's funny, but it's it's not my humor
436.26s - 439.22s |  But the fact that it's been so long since the last one I think helps
439.94s - 442.42s |  Uh and the fact that it is now a part of the mcu
442.82s - 447.78s |  And they can just directly make fun of the fact that the last few years of the mcu have sucked, right?
448.90s - 451.54s |  And you can get away with it because it's Deadpool and that's the whole shtick
452.26s - 454.26s |  so I I think I think
454.58s - 456.74s |  Not releasing a movie every six months
457.38s - 460.66s |  And having a nice break between the last Deadpool and this one
461.86s - 468.10s |  Certainly works in its favor. So it doesn't overstate its welcome. Yes, and and I think this I
468.98s - 472.42s |  I'm assuming they won't make any more Deadpool movies after this. I think it's like a
473.06s - 478.58s |  It's a great way to end it. Like it's like I thought they weren't gonna make any more wolverine movies after logan
478.98s - 483.78s |  Well, I don't know like I didn't see the second Deadpool. I think I saw part of it
483.78s - 489.46s |  There was like a little kid in it, right? Like a um, not a little kid, but there was a kid like he's like 12 13
489.78s - 495.22s |  14 something. Yeah, there's a kid in it. That's all I remember and I don't think I saw it. It's fine
495.54s - 496.66s |  I think it's you know
496.66s - 501.06s |  The first Deadpool was such a like unique thing for the time that it really stood out
501.06s - 504.82s |  That's why it was such a massive hit the second one kind of felt like more of the same
505.30s - 510.34s |  I think they were very very smart even though when I heard that they were bringing back you jackman
510.82s - 514.42s |  I was like, well, they ended it so perfectly with logan. That's such a great movie
515.22s - 519.38s |  This feels like it's going to you know, kind of uh lessen the impact of that
519.78s - 525.86s |  But from a marketing standpoint and getting people interested. It is the smartest thing they could have possibly done
526.50s - 532.26s |  Don't hide it call the movie Deadpool and wolverine smear that shit all over the advertising
532.34s - 537.38s |  That's what people want. They want this team up. Yeah, and they work well together and they are great in this movie together
537.54s - 540.98s |  It's a it's a classic like buddy cup setup, you know
541.54s - 544.58s |  And and they justify him coming back enough
545.22s - 548.66s |  For the movie to work. Well, yeah, it doesn't it doesn't feel like it lessens
549.62s - 552.98s |  And this is the thing about the multiverse that's annoying but also makes sense
553.46s - 556.02s |  The idea that this is technically a different wolverine
556.50s - 558.02s |  Yeah a different universe
558.02s - 563.62s |  So he has different experiences, which means that the sacrifice that logan made at the end of the movie logan
564.18s - 566.18s |  There's still weight to that
566.18s - 570.98s |  I get it. It is just an excuse to bring you jackman back. I think when
572.34s - 574.82s |  Here's here's the natural progression of things
575.62s - 578.66s |  Is the the mcu had a fantastic run?
579.54s - 580.40s |  from
580.40s - 581.78s |  2008
581.78s - 583.14s |  up until
583.14s - 586.18s |  You know the end of whenever endgame came out
587.70s - 592.66s |  18 19 something like 19 because it was right before the pandemic. Yeah, and then now it's
593.20s - 595.94s |  2024 and geez kids that are like
596.56s - 604.18s |  16 17 years old have known nothing their entire life, but a marvel universe. Is that weird? Yeah, but
604.98s - 606.98s |  It had a great run
607.54s - 611.14s |  And then at some point like like comic books themselves
611.22s - 615.38s |  You start off with a premise and a team and they do this and that and then
616.66s - 618.98s |  You start to the gas starts to run low
624.58s - 626.58s |  And you got to do something to
628.42s - 634.74s |  And that's the multiverse you got to start doing like and then we've been in it with the three spider-men movie and the
634.74s - 641.94s |  dr. Strange movies and then yeah, and then they introduce one nostalgic callbacks because yeah, professor x comes in and he's
642.18s - 644.18s |  scores the classic
644.18s - 646.18s |  animated x-men score
647.30s - 650.74s |  A final member professor chas xavier
652.50s - 658.66s |  And for years people were saying that they wanted john krasinski to be reed richards and so he shows up in that in the cameo
659.78s - 664.66s |  There's a similar fan casting thing in this well, that's what I wanted to say before we get to that before we get the spoilers
664.66s - 668.26s |  I want to say there are aspects of this movie that in theory I should hate
668.74s - 673.22s |  But the movie handled it in a way that won me over without getting into spoilers
673.30s - 676.34s |  Let's say that for right now. All right, but it is kind of like
677.06s - 680.98s |  A large like the milch chunk of this movie is like that scene from dr
680.98s - 684.26s |  Strange 2 stretched out to almost feature length
684.82s - 690.98s |  Which sounds like it should be annoying and I kind of liked it. I mostly liked everything in this movie. Yeah
691.94s - 693.94s |  it it becomes like
694.58s - 696.58s |  Meta on top of meta
696.74s - 698.58s |  where you're like
698.58s - 702.98s |  It's not just like oh, isn't it neat to see patrick stewart as professor x with?
703.86s - 709.14s |  You know a couple of their random characters from different move did for time periods and oh, that's a neat
709.46s - 716.10s |  Peggy carter is now captain america and all that stuff. Yeah, and and then uh, but this it takes it a step further
716.50s - 721.86s |  And but in a way that also works into the plots and the themes of the movie
722.10s - 726.18s |  Yes, where it's not just like you didn't see that flash movie, right?
727.30s - 728.90s |  I uh
728.90s - 731.38s |  I think I watched a little bit of it on an airplane
731.86s - 732.42s |  I turned it off
732.42s - 737.62s |  Well, the end of that is they're going through the multiverse and we get a cgi cameo from christopher reef superman
737.78s - 738.90s |  I didn't get to that part
738.90s - 744.50s |  But then they also show because they're the infamous tim burton nicolas cage superman movie that never happened
744.82s - 747.14s |  We get a cameo from nicolas cage superman
747.70s - 751.46s |  And it's in there just as like fan servicey pointless cameo shit
752.10s - 757.54s |  And this movie like it was approaching that and then it worked it all into the story in a way that made sense
757.62s - 759.62s |  That works in a comedy setting
759.62s - 762.58s |  Yes in a movie like deadpool obviously can get away with that kind of thing more
762.82s - 766.02s |  Right, but even aside from the fact that it's a comedy just the way they're worked into the story
766.58s - 768.58s |  and that theme of being like
768.58s - 772.58s |  Either outsiders or rejects or people have forgotten about them
773.14s - 779.78s |  They picked very deliberate characters that I think worked perfectly for that. You'll just stand there. You ape. Give me a hand up
782.98s - 788.10s |  The opening is deadpool desecrating the grave of wolverine which I appreciate it because it's like, okay
788.18s - 792.34s |  Yeah, they know that people are going to have a problem with this after the end of logan
792.58s - 796.02s |  So just push full dark comedy having him digging up his corpse
796.34s - 800.58s |  Who do you is adamantium bones with this skin like rotting off of it?
800.58s - 805.78s |  Like that's the kind of dark comedy I like and that he takes his bones and uses the most weapons
806.02s - 812.10s |  Yeah, yeah skull around and like he desecrates his grave in the worst possible way right if you're gonna do it go extreme
812.26s - 816.50s |  I was okay with stuff like that. Yeah. Oh, I had no idea what the plot was, but I didn't care
817.46s - 820.74s |  I couldn't follow the plot. I mean they they keep it pretty simple
820.74s - 823.86s |  They have a setup at the beginning and then the rest of the movie is you know
825.78s - 831.70s |  A series of goofy scenes, but it's yeah multiverse. He has to drag a wolverine from a different timeline
831.70s - 836.26s |  He's got to save his world to save his world. I get like tom wamsgams in it
837.14s - 840.98s |  I don't know who that is, but you were very excited to see him. Yeah, he's from succession
841.22s - 848.18s |  He's in it and he's plays paradox, which I assume is a comic book character who runs sort of like the uh,
849.70s - 854.66s |  The star trek equivalent of the temp oral police star trek has its own thing
857.06s - 860.42s |  And so basically when wolverine died
861.14s - 864.98s |  This is what I got out of it when wolverine died the good wolverine
865.70s - 869.62s |  Yes, the logan movie died in logan. He uh
870.66s - 877.22s |  Then the rest of that world went to shit after that. He was like the anchor of that particular universe
877.38s - 879.46s |  Yeah, but and and then it started to
880.58s - 882.98s |  To dissolve backwards because I was in the future
884.18s - 886.42s |  Like I oh, yeah, logan took place in the future
886.82s - 891.54s |  Because they showed the timeline and it was like burning that way like backwards. Yeah
892.50s - 894.10s |  I don't I just
894.10s - 901.46s |  It doesn't really matter. I didn't understand that and then the the logan that's in the movie is a drunken logan
902.34s - 904.82s |  Who's sitting in that bar from the first x-men movie?
905.54s - 908.42s |  He apparently like left the x-men
908.90s - 913.86s |  Long enough for them to all get killed by mutant hunters and he felt guilty and then that ruined his whole world
913.86s - 915.86s |  So he was basically a drunken
915.86s - 920.58s |  Regretful asshole and then so he gets an arc even in this goofy reverend comedy
920.90s - 925.62s |  They worked in a little arc for him. Deadpool which justifies him being in it as more than just look
925.62s - 928.34s |  It's you jackman's back glorified cameo and then deadpool
929.06s - 933.62s |  His arc is he wants to be important and uh wants to join the avengers
934.26s - 936.26s |  But you know, he's rejected
936.66s - 940.42s |  And uh, that's his arc. He wants to be important. They both want
941.22s - 946.82s |  Some sort of redemption character wise and it works. They're both they're both in low spots and they're both rejects
947.06s - 952.36s |  Yeah, not just from the the avengers but also from their own timeline. Yeah, which is interesting
953.54s - 958.98s |  And that's how they get cast to this uh purgatory land. Yeah, it's like a like a it's interesting
958.98s - 963.94s |  It's a weird like sci-fi. I don't know if it's from many of the comics or not, but it's an interesting concept this sort of like
963.94s - 964.98s |  Yeah
964.98s - 969.38s |  Uh time purgatory or they just throw all the rejects that nobody cares about
969.70s - 973.38s |  It's fine. My my point overall though, and I don't even mean this as a criticism
973.46s - 977.70s |  This is actually kind of a charm of the movie is that parts of it felt rather cheap
978.26s - 982.58s |  Like they had a couple big sets and they filmed everything on those just few sets
982.98s - 989.46s |  The street parts are you talking about the uh, well the the yeah that that kind of town that little like, uh post-apocalypse town that
989.94s - 994.02s |  Xavier sister runs. Oh, yeah, there's that one. There's like the the
994.98s - 1001.54s |  City street intersection that they used multiple times throughout the movie and then the climax takes place there the rob
1001.54s - 1006.10s |  Liefield jokes, but uh, but yeah, so there's that made little like and it's clearly a backlot set
1006.34s - 1010.66s |  So the the street the backlot street set looked a little cheap, but I was okay with it because it was
1011.22s - 1013.30s |  It's cute. It's it's a comedy almost
1013.94s - 1019.70s |  uh, what I don't know I guess it is just a straight-up comedy, but yeah, uh wolverine and
1020.42s - 1025.22s |  Uh deadpool having a fight to the death inside of a honda odyssey minivan
1025.70s - 1027.70s |  That was the highlight. I was just I was laughing
1028.42s - 1029.46s |  at that
1029.46s - 1035.14s |  Notion because I could just hear someone saying why don't they have a their epic fight, you know, that's going to happen
1035.14s - 1039.06s |  You know, it's not on top of a mountain during the thunderstorm. It's inside of a minivan
1040.02s - 1044.26s |  It's just like that sort of like and it's excessively violent. Yeah, that's sort of
1044.80s - 1048.90s |  Stupidity or lunacy is is is funny and same with the ending. Yeah
1049.30s - 1052.42s |  So that's your plot you got you got two main characters
1053.70s - 1058.26s |  Wolverine deadpool and they have their their character flaws that eventually
1059.60s - 1061.60s |  satisfactorily arc and uh
1062.34s - 1068.18s |  There is lots and lots of filthy funny jokes and asides and
1068.96s - 1073.62s |  industry related humor, um, I I like when he runs off and he
1074.58s - 1076.58s |  Tells fox to go fuck itself
1077.46s - 1083.22s |  And he grabs the boom mic he yells into it and he goes i'm i'm going to disneyland
1083.30s - 1086.98s |  Yeah, you know he talks about bags of marvel cash and well
1086.98s - 1087.86s |  I think that's another thing
1087.86s - 1091.46s |  Like I said the the idea of bringing Hugh Jackman back kind of invigorates the movie
1091.86s - 1095.30s |  And I think the fact that they are now a part of disney marvel
1095.86s - 1101.06s |  Also is a new angle to to mind jokes from he said welcome to the mcu
1104.72s - 1106.72s |  Stop it
1106.72s - 1110.70s |  I'm trying to think
1110.70s - 1112.22s |  What has been?
1112.22s - 1114.22s |  marvel movies
1115.10s - 1117.10s |  In the last like say
1117.34s - 1123.66s |  Three years. Let's go three years. Well, it's been movies and many shows many streaming shows that nobody watches
1124.54s - 1131.50s |  At this point they need to just make a few really solid standalone movies and then decide if those are worth
1131.88s - 1136.78s |  Examining more then we'll bring those characters back and do another avengers movie. Yeah
1137.02s - 1141.26s |  Um because like that first like the original iron man completely self-contained obviously
1141.74s - 1145.74s |  Except for a little tease at the very end with with nick fury, but those first few
1145.74s - 1151.58s |  Yeah, you had an iron man movie at a thor movie had an incredible hulk movie. Oh, I think they were all just movies
1151.90s - 1155.18s |  Yeah, well, they're they're definitely doing uh captain america
1155.82s - 1159.74s |  To do captain america. They've reshot the movie like eight times or whatever. Yeah
1160.54s - 1163.82s |  Most people were pretty well attuned to what was going on with the marvel movies
1164.22s - 1168.06s |  even if you missed one or two here and there well between the movies the
1168.94s - 1175.18s |  Series the streaming shows that mucks it up. Yeah, but that was like the oh eight to say. I don't know
1177.02s - 1178.62s |  Fifteen
1178.62s - 1181.02s |  But not sure but yeah, there were no
1182.22s - 1185.66s |  Uh, there was no streaming series. It was just a movie comes out
1185.98s - 1186.46s |  Yeah
1186.46s - 1192.54s |  You wait till the post credit scene to kind of get a tease of what's coming next and then it would always kind of build
1192.94s - 1196.46s |  Now it's all intertwined now. It's intertwined and a little more confusing
1196.86s - 1200.38s |  Especially if you don't take the time to watch them all I have no doubt
1200.46s - 1203.66s |  There are people that just watch every marvel content and know exactly what's going on
1204.06s - 1207.42s |  There's supposedly another thor movie in the works
1208.06s - 1212.54s |  Oh really or the idea is is that if chris hemsworth were to do
1213.42s - 1215.98s |  Another thor. He doesn't want to be goofy thor
1216.22s - 1221.82s |  He wants to take it back to kind of because of the last one the um, the taishawa tiki one was a schlock fest
1221.90s - 1223.90s |  They pushed it too far. Yeah
1229.06s - 1233.70s |  They got a little too silly in it not in a good deadpool silly way and just a silly silly way
1233.86s - 1240.10s |  I think that's the thing when you're talking about star wars like uh, thor is an established character. You can't push that
1240.66s - 1244.66s |  Character or the world of that series of movies true for that goofy
1245.30s - 1249.86s |  Uh, and so I think that's probably more comparable to star trying to do a goofy star wars
1250.10s - 1254.58s |  It's like it'd be like the fourth thor darth vader made jokes. Yeah, you can't do that
1254.74s - 1258.34s |  Boy, the service here is slow. We haven't even ordered. I know that's what I mean
1258.50s - 1262.58s |  It would be good to order already. I know that's what I was saying. Oh, I thought you weren't disagreeing
1262.90s - 1268.90s |  Yeah, it would be good to order darth vader doesn't make jokes. He has not to this day had a joke
1269.06s - 1274.02s |  Hey, I don't know. I remember seeing a revenge at the syphon theater and people were laughing hysterically at that ending
1278.35s - 1282.27s |  I think I think probably they're they say, uh, let's do
1283.23s - 1285.39s |  You know five disney plus series
1285.95s - 1290.83s |  Let's do the captain america movie. Let's establish anthony mackey as the new captain america. Let's make
1291.47s - 1294.75s |  Another this movie. Let's bring out. Let's dig in up some characters
1294.75s - 1298.59s |  Let's make a movie where we have this and then and then in
1299.31s - 1301.23s |  eight to twelve years
1301.23s - 1304.11s |  We'll reassemble the avengers to fight galactus like
1304.83s - 1309.55s |  Now it's at the um, maybe we'll go in the multiverse and pull out tony stark
1310.03s - 1312.91s |  I'm waiting for them to do that. They're going to do that
1320.11s - 1325.55s |  And uh, well sabola, that's where it all goes it all goes off the rails
1329.31s - 1330.83s |  And that's the the
1330.83s - 1332.83s |  benefits but also for
1332.91s - 1337.95s |  Marvel the overall negative aspect of deadpool is that this movie is probably going to do great
1338.35s - 1340.75s |  It's a shot in the arm for these types of movies
1341.39s - 1345.87s |  Uh, but at the same time you can't base a cinematic universe around deadpool
1346.67s - 1348.67s |  You can't have him team up with the avengers
1350.43s - 1353.95s |  The guardians of the galaxy movies are more comedic than some of the other marvel movies
1353.95s - 1355.87s |  But they still take place in a reality
1355.87s - 1362.11s |  So you can have them team up with the avengers or put them in other other marvel things deadpool. Not so much
1362.59s - 1368.19s |  He works as his own isolated series of things. There's a lot of humor in the marvel movies. There's a lot of jokes
1368.27s - 1375.23s |  They there is some like kind of self-aware humor, but it's once you break the fourth wall
1376.83s - 1378.83s |  That's sort of like
1378.83s - 1379.87s |  the
1379.87s - 1384.11s |  The the crossing line that's a bridge too far for the standard marvel stuff
1384.19s - 1387.79s |  You can't put deadpool in an avengers movie and have him breaking the fourth wall
1387.95s - 1391.63s |  It just doesn't work and it's it has to be its own separate entity
1391.71s - 1398.83s |  But the irony is I think this was one of the best superhero movies from marvel. I've seen since
1400.03s - 1401.55s |  endgame
1401.55s - 1403.55s |  Which ones have you seen since endgame?
1403.87s - 1409.47s |  I was and then I threw an end before okay, you know because you got like that black widow movie and
1410.03s - 1417.07s |  Captain marvel and all this feels so tired. I haven't seen the venom movies. Those are marvel marvels of venom
1417.15s - 1422.99s |  Well, those are sony. Well, they're marvel adjacents. They're they're spider-man villains. That's like saying that madam
1422.99s - 1427.79s |  Webb was a marvel man madam web. Yeah, that's sony stuff. That's a different beast
1427.79s - 1429.79s |  So
1436.66s - 1441.30s |  The most enjoyable thing about this movie are the things that we
1442.58s - 1443.62s |  spoil
1443.62s - 1445.62s |  yes, and I
1446.10s - 1451.22s |  Would recommend I almost didn't want to talk about any of the cameos because it's the funnest part
1452.42s - 1455.46s |  Yeah, most the most for me. It was uh, it
1456.26s - 1462.34s |  Like I said, we'll get into spoilers. But yeah, like I said the uh, the surprising part or spoilers after the sad break
1462.98s - 1465.46s |  No, seriously, like take a break and uh
1466.10s - 1468.90s |  Go watch the movie and come back and watch the rest of this video later because
1469.30s - 1474.82s |  I really don't want to spoil any of those cameos. I i'm glad they weren't spoiled for me because I didn't see anything online about
1474.90s - 1476.82s |  fairly like
1476.82s - 1481.14s |  knowledgeable of the comic book landscape and so I I chuckled quite a bit
1481.30s - 1483.86s |  Yeah in a way that's beyond just
1484.58s - 1489.22s |  And that's why it worked for me when this type of shit kind of usually doesn't it feels kind of like cynical
1490.02s - 1492.02s |  pandering fanservicey
1492.26s - 1494.58s |  Uh, but they all they worked it into a way that
1495.22s - 1499.54s |  Was either funny or had like a little more kind of resonance than you would expect
1500.10s - 1503.54s |  The first appearance of the one I didn't like was henry cavill
1504.18s - 1509.38s |  That to me was early on when he's like the the multiverse henry cavill is wolverine
1509.86s - 1511.30s |  It's kind of a funny jab at dc
1511.30s - 1516.10s |  But in general is like oh because that is just like look it's him move on to next scene
1516.74s - 1519.54s |  That was shallow in a way that the later ones weren't well
1519.62s - 1524.50s |  Yeah, well the montage part was fun because they go through all the different like eras of wolverines
1524.82s - 1530.74s |  And the comic accurate very tiny one the famous comic book cover of him on the x cross with all the skulls
1531.46s - 1535.54s |  Like that was awesome. And then I guess wolverine had an eye patch at one point
1535.62s - 1538.02s |  I didn't know that i'm sure there's some comic with him like that
1538.58s - 1545.38s |  The 70s wolverine and then the tiny the short one because I guess he's drawn short a lot like super short
1545.46s - 1551.46s |  It's funny looking back because that was like a big complaint before the very first x-men movie came out like 25 years ago
1551.54s - 1553.54s |  Like who's this hugh jackman guy? He's too big
1553.86s - 1556.74s |  And now like when you think of wolverine you think of hugh jackman
1556.82s - 1561.24s |  I remember there were rumors very early on that it was going to be dan zig who played wolverine
1564.26s - 1569.22s |  And I guess he's he's got kind of a look for wolverine yeah, yeah sure coming out the acting
1569.94s - 1572.66s |  You know, like hugh jackman's acting in this he was given it
1573.46s - 1575.30s |  Hugh jackman
1575.30s - 1579.86s |  Consummate professional he was he was given those scenes of full emotional treatment
1580.02s - 1586.74s |  Uh, and then that's why that counterbalances ryan reynolds character too. Yeah, but so there was the henry campbell cameo
1587.30s - 1589.86s |  And then shortly after that we get the we're in the void
1590.98s - 1596.10s |  And we get who you think is captain america. It's chris evans captain america and that's was like, oh, no
1596.18s - 1598.18s |  Is this going to be a movie of this?
1598.50s - 1603.14s |  But then there's the joke. Oh, it turns out he's chris evans from fantastic four. He's johnny storm
1603.62s - 1605.78s |  And also in that scene. I didn't know who it was
1605.94s - 1609.62s |  They introduced an actor and I was like I feel like i'm supposed to know who that is
1610.26s - 1612.58s |  And I didn't until like halfway through the movie when
1613.70s - 1620.66s |  Professor x's sister calls him pyro and I was like, oh that's the after that played pyro in those those old brian singer movies
1621.06s - 1625.62s |  I didn't recognize him at first. So that was lost on me. So yeah, there's little deep cuts of uh
1625.86s - 1629.06s |  Random characters that that were in there. But yeah pyro
1630.02s - 1631.14s |  he uh
1631.14s - 1635.94s |  Because johnny storm shoots fire at him and he's just like yeah, nah, that's not gonna harm me
1636.34s - 1638.66s |  But yeah, remember him and ice man were were
1639.30s - 1647.86s |  Button heads in the brian singer movie. Yeah a couple of handsome young fighting it out on brian singers. Uh, I mean set
1651.25s - 1652.85s |  Isn't it a shame?
1652.85s - 1657.09s |  I I this is a little bit of a tangent, but during the end credits of this we get a little like
1658.45s - 1665.33s |  Kind of a manipulative montage such a green day where yeah, I love that clips behind the scenes footage from all the old movies
1665.49s - 1667.49s |  and it all has that like
1667.57s - 1670.93s |  Like like it's all tainted by the brian singer connection
1671.57s - 1674.29s |  I'm like, I have such affection for those first x-men movies
1675.09s - 1678.13s |  And then you see him in clips of this and it's like, oh look at young hugh jackman
1678.69s - 1680.69s |  you're like, oh, but it's all
1681.65s - 1684.05s |  It's all uh was masterminded by
1685.25s - 1687.25s |  by brian singer
1687.25s - 1689.25s |  Let's do an x-men movie
1689.89s - 1692.13s |  Where we don't focus on the x-men adults
1693.57s - 1696.13s |  We focus more on the younger dudes. I mean
1697.01s - 1699.81s |  Students younger characters. Yeah, when I know me what's his old
1700.69s - 1702.05s |  young
1702.05s - 1705.89s |  Young younger characters. Let's uh, let's get nicholas holt to play young beast
1707.09s - 1711.17s |  Let's get uh that guy to play ice man and the young uh
1711.89s - 1715.49s |  Young guys to play this part and the other young guys will have a scene where they all
1715.97s - 1717.33s |  Beep
1717.33s - 1719.33s |  in
1719.41s - 1724.64s |  The x-men where there's just cocaine and alcohol
1725.68s - 1730.64s |  And I invite a bunch of my older weird friends bald men with big mustaches
1731.12s - 1732.40s |  Oh totally unrelated
1732.40s - 1736.96s |  But uh, did you know on the commentary track for the first x-men movie in addition to brian singer?
1736.96s - 1742.08s |  He's joined by his friend brian peck who had nothing to do with the movie, but he's just on the commentary for some reason
1742.40s - 1744.40s |  It's very weird. Yeah
1744.48s - 1748.32s |  But uh, so yeah big cameos, let's just say this
1749.84s - 1754.40s |  Uh deadpool and wolverine because deadpool always wanted to be part of a team
1755.28s - 1761.68s |  Um, and he gets his chance in this in in the wasteland and with a bunch of other reject characters
1761.76s - 1767.12s |  Bunch of other reject characters which works thematically which is yes, they've been cast away
1768.88s - 1773.76s |  Their movies have either flopped or were forgotten about and um
1774.16s - 1778.72s |  Or never came to fruition. Yes, but if they wanted to do with the team up for uh,
1779.12s - 1783.20s |  Deadpool and his new his new group of mutants or his new group of superheroes
1783.84s - 1789.92s |  Uh do like really deep pulls and get like jd salinger's kid who's captain america in the canon movie
1795.44s - 1798.72s |  I think that's probably a little outside of the uh, the the range of
1799.44s - 1801.44s |  References they would want to go for
1801.60s - 1803.60s |  Right, but it would have entertained me
1804.24s - 1811.20s |  And then, you know, you got to convince the actor to like, uh, Jennifer, uh garner coming back to play electro
1811.44s - 1814.80s |  But the idea that they come back and they're not just treated as a joke
1814.88s - 1819.44s |  I mean their introduction is sort of like ah, it's funny that it's electron. Nobody liked that movie
1819.68s - 1823.12s |  But then give her something to do. She has a couple hero moments
1823.60s - 1825.76s |  everybody gets something to do in a way that's
1826.96s - 1831.52s |  Sort of redeems them. It's kind of like they did that with uh, andra gurfield in that no way home movie
1832.08s - 1836.88s |  Because no one liked those spider-man movies, but he's got like the best arc of that no way home movie
1837.44s - 1842.32s |  It kind of redeems andra gurfield who was a good actor, but never was in a good spider-man movie
1842.40s - 1847.20s |  Yeah, so it's similar to that. But uh, the most important thing is that it's fun
1847.76s - 1851.76s |  Yes, my brain wasn't going cynical with all the jokes. I was just enjoying them
1851.92s - 1855.60s |  For the most part I was especially when you get like towards the end the third acts
1856.08s - 1861.12s |  There's the big uh reveal of the the all the multiverse deadpools, which is fun
1861.60s - 1866.96s |  There's like a floating skeleton head and a baby and but then that fight
1867.52s - 1869.52s |  uh with all the deadpools
1870.16s - 1874.32s |  I've seen it ripped off so much that old old boy the the one take shot
1875.20s - 1878.96s |  I don't care how many times that's ripped off. I never get tired of it because it always looks great
1879.12s - 1883.60s |  I was just laughing the whole time and it's fun because it's so absurd and they're jumping in and out of a bus
1883.92s - 1885.92s |  And it's yeah, it was good. It was funny
1886.88s - 1889.12s |  Hey, hugh, you want to play wolverine one more time?
1890.00s - 1892.00s |  Yeah, sure, right
1893.52s - 1898.80s |  The kind of hint that there'll be uh more wolverine adventures in the future I kind of hope there isn't
1899.36s - 1901.36s |  To me this works as like
1901.36s - 1906.80s |  Deadpool's our wolverine is over but they they found a way to make it work for this movie. But now
1907.76s - 1909.76s |  You got to let it go. I don't know if they will
1910.40s - 1912.40s |  especially if this is a huge hit but
1913.12s - 1918.80s |  It's same with deadpool in general like you can't do this too much. All of marvel can't now be fourth wall breaking
1919.28s - 1921.52s |  Goofy deadpool jokes. See the thing with like
1922.72s - 1924.72s |  ryan reynolds is
1925.28s - 1926.96s |  he
1926.96s - 1934.64s |  Has loved the deadpool character for a long time. He was very excited to play deadpool in wolverine origins famously blew that up. Yeah, and
1936.72s - 1938.80s |  Deadpool had his mouth's own shot
1939.92s - 1945.76s |  He was basically deadpool would name only right? Yeah, it was a it was a botched job and uh, you know
1945.92s - 1947.92s |  he fought wolverine on top of uh
1948.64s - 1954.24s |  nuclear tower he was sorely disappointed by that and he's always wanted to play deadpool and uh
1955.76s - 1958.64s |  He finally got his chance to do it exactly how
1959.52s - 1964.96s |  It is in the comic books. Um, and then he got then he got to do this big ass third movie, which feels like
1966.24s - 1972.72s |  10 times more epic and and fun than the last two without losing the uh, the the charm or the humor
1972.80s - 1974.80s |  Yeah, and I think for him
1975.04s - 1976.16s |  he has
1976.16s - 1980.24s |  the comic book integrity to where he knows that
1981.52s - 1983.76s |  I don't know if you could top this one and
1984.56s - 1986.56s |  He certainly doesn't need the money
1988.08s - 1993.92s |  He's got that mint mobile money. Hey ryan reynolds here big wireless because once again raised their prices
1994.24s - 1997.52s |  I was gonna say y'all don't know about his mint mobile money
1998.30s - 2002.88s |  Ironically the green mint mobile company. There wasn't a mint mobile joke in this movie
2002.96s - 2008.24s |  I think there'd be some sort of little reference that you could also squeeze in there, you know, like maybe but I think that's the thing
2008.24s - 2010.24s |  With these deadpool like the first one was
2010.64s - 2013.76s |  I think people were blindsided by how successful it was
2014.40s - 2018.56s |  But that one and then like the second one was fine people liked it, but then this one too
2018.64s - 2021.12s |  It's been a number of years since the second one
2021.12s - 2021.84s |  but
2021.84s - 2026.24s |  I think the reason they stand out from a lot of the other more recent ones is that they feel like they're made by
2026.88s - 2029.04s |  Someone who like cares about this material
2029.52s - 2033.44s |  As opposed to something that's made because it has to fill a release date slot
2034.48s - 2036.48s |  Let's fucking go
2047.84s - 2049.84s |  Oh the phone's ringing oh
2050.88s - 2052.88s |  Hello
2053.12s - 2055.12s |  Oh, hello star wars man
2056.00s - 2057.52s |  Yes
2057.52s - 2059.28s |  Yes
2059.28s - 2061.28s |  Why that's downright rude
2062.32s - 2064.88s |  Was that my old roommate kevin star wars man
2065.76s - 2066.80s |  No
2066.80s - 2071.36s |  It was internet celebrity star wars man aka star wars theory. Oh
2072.08s - 2076.48s |  He said I was too old to talk about star wars anymore. Oh
2077.28s - 2081.06s |  Boy, do I wish wikipedia could change my birth date?

 Half in the bag what what doesn't have to be the full length every time could be shorter
11.46s - 15.98s |  Hello and welcome to the first and last episode of the Nicolas Cage
16.46s - 18.46s |  creepy new movie double feature
19.38s - 31.49s |  On this episode we discuss long legs from Miles Perkins the co-star of Quigley and what about the really nice move
31.49s - 34.73s |  You just made on the briefcase when dogs have to go they go quick
35.61s - 37.61s |  Now hurt my knee
37.61s - 39.61s |  Lifting my leg to pee
39.85s - 44.07s |  It's not easy being a dog long legs is a new film about a creepy
44.61s - 49.17s |  Intimidating psychopath and no, I'm not talking about Gary Busey
51.77s - 57.49s |  The film has been widely praised as the scariest horror film in decades and an absolute must-see
58.01s - 62.21s |  We also discuss Arcadian, which is another movie that exists
62.81s - 67.37s |  That's not helping. Well, we're talking about Arcadian first
67.37s - 70.49s |  I assume we're gonna talk about Arcadian first since no one wants to hear it and they're gonna yeah
70.49s - 74.53s |  I have to wait until we get the long don't try to skip our ad breaks. Don't skip Arcadian
74.53s - 79.45s |  We're gonna have a very detailed discussion of a movie that I didn't even know existed until like a week ago
79.45s - 81.45s |  Nobody knows about this thing. No
82.17s - 83.81s |  fairly low-budget
83.81s - 85.81s |  movie filmed in Ireland
86.33s - 89.33s |  Okay, I'm a director who hasn't really done much
90.05s - 92.05s |  has it directed by
92.05s - 95.61s |  Just just out of my own curiosity someone with like Parkinson's. I
99.22s - 102.38s |  Had a feeling you wouldn't like it and something. I thought it was
103.82s - 109.66s |  Spectacularly average. I thought it was fine. Listen, but I want to know what you saw in it that I didn't
110.18s - 115.90s |  And I'm not just talking literally because I couldn't see what was happening half the time because the image was so there was a dark imagery
116.86s - 121.74s |  The the camera work I'll discuss in a moment. There are some some negative qualities to it
121.74s - 126.54s |  But overall I really enjoyed it and it has a high
127.10s - 130.50s |  Critical rating but kind of like a 50% audience
130.86s - 136.54s |  So it's either like you're you're you're on the same side of the movie or you didn't like it
136.54s - 141.06s |  It's it's very polarizing. I guess you either loved it or hated it. I don't know. I've got it in the middle
141.06s - 143.46s |  I don't know. Well, I'm I'm not gonna be
144.54s - 148.38s |  Hyperbolic and say it was the greatest movie I've ever seen and blah blah blah blah blah, but I
149.22s - 151.22s |  Might have just been in the mood for it
151.74s - 154.16s |  And you know, I watched the trailer and I was like, okay
154.16s - 158.72s |  It looks kind of like a quiet place kind of movie but that's the big point of comparison is a quiet place
158.72s - 165.42s |  Yeah, see Nicholas Cage's two sons are living in some kind of farmhouse and there's monsters. I'm like, okay, but I
166.30s - 168.30s |  kind of enjoyed the
168.74s - 173.74s |  the style of it the kind of bare-bones nature of it and I
174.22s - 180.98s |  Was legitimately creeped out by many visuals and things that the monsters in the film did
181.78s - 191.43s |  the movie starts off with Nicholas Cage running through a city and
192.43s - 196.15s |  Something's happening and there's there's very little exposition to the backstory
196.15s - 200.71s |  They do this some of the characters do a little game or they kind of talk about the apocalypse in ten words
200.71s - 206.99s |  They try and like guess what might have happened. Yeah, cuz they're kept really big. Yeah, the focus of the film are young adults
207.67s - 209.67s |  Kids I guess
210.19s - 213.95s |  Cuz Nicholas Cage is running through the city and he he either is running home
215.27s - 217.27s |  But he or
217.27s - 221.35s |  She just discovers two babies. It's never really explained, right?
221.59s - 224.95s |  Whether or not they're his children or someone else's and he just dies to save them
225.55s - 232.39s |  So they end up on a farmhouse. It's like but 15 years later 16 years later. He has two like adolescent sons were
232.75s - 236.07s |  The cusp of puberty or have just entered it
236.55s - 242.23s |  When is the kid from it? Yeah, and some other kid he's reached that gangly awkward stage
242.63s - 248.23s |  He's good in this though. Both everyone's good in it. All the performances are good bad haircuts bad. It's supposed to apocalypse
248.23s - 250.27s |  They're probably cutting their own hair. That's fine. That's the thing
250.27s - 252.99s |  It's like someone had a like a razor and they just like yeah
252.99s - 258.99s |  I just went around and there's like miss Watts where they went to too close and too long and that's what I that was a
258.99s - 262.51s |  Little nice touch. Well, he's the he's the that's the big center
262.99s - 267.51s |  Point of the whole movie is the relationship between those two brothers. They're very different personalities
267.51s - 270.87s |  And yeah strangers that are not stranger things kids. It kid is
272.11s - 274.03s |  very like logical
274.03s - 277.55s |  He's trying to pay attention to like patterns from the creatures
277.55s - 280.99s |  Like how often they smack on the door to try and get in stuff like that
280.99s - 285.27s |  and then the other brothers more reacts more emotionally to things so that's kind of the
286.03s - 291.47s |  Conflicts of the whole movie. Yes. Yes, they're different personality types and following the rules when the one kid
291.59s - 297.03s |  He doesn't really care too much about monsters because he's in love. Yes at down at the neighbor's farm
297.03s - 302.67s |  There's a different house and there's a young lady and it's very and then that yeah, that's like the other farm
302.67s - 307.15s |  They have their own sort of system in place. They don't want a lot of outsiders. It's very the remind
307.15s - 309.15s |  It's very like Romero esque
309.27s - 312.75s |  Yeah, as far as like part of the threat being that people just can't get along
312.99s - 316.25s |  Well, I like that stuff about it kind of reminded me of like
317.95s - 320.15s |  It almost like regressed to like
320.79s - 326.23s |  Life on the Prairie kind of yeah, the kids were just like no one sees like a wooden rocking horse
326.23s - 330.91s |  He doesn't know what it is because they were from babies. So they really didn't have a lot of knowledge of stuff
330.91s - 333.35s |  And there's no technology. There's no anything. It's very
335.19s - 337.19s |  Simple and
337.55s - 341.75s |  The monsters there's some very creepy moments with the monsters
341.75s - 344.83s |  and they they move in in of such a
346.19s - 350.11s |  Uniquely odd way that was I found oddly disturbing
354.74s - 360.02s |  Even though they it's a lower budgeted moving they stood out as kind of CG ish a little bit
360.02s - 365.34s |  They tried to film around it. They did what they could to kind of conceal the lower budget. But yeah, they're very
366.54s - 370.58s |  unnerving there's movements there is in the cave and
371.06s - 372.90s |  It's peeking out from the darkness
372.90s - 373.18s |  Yeah
373.18s - 378.46s |  Or the big the hand coming through the door with the like the fingernail that that was the shot that really got me because yeah
378.46s - 383.58s |  The whole idea is that they have to you have to be in before dark. They only come out of dark
383.58s - 388.02s |  They're the light I guess hurts them or something. They're like werewolf aliens. Sure
388.02s - 389.70s |  Yeah, I don't know but yeah
389.70s - 393.18s |  So the one son the it kid is stuck at home
393.18s - 395.86s |  His dad had to go out after dark to find the other son
395.94s - 399.30s |  It's a whole thing so he stuck at home and you think he's sleeping and then yeah
399.30s - 403.78s |  You see that hand come in the fingernail grows longer and longer and yeah
403.78s - 409.14s |  That was that was genuinely creepy because there's a nice flat wide shot and the camera wasn't doing this
409.14s - 417.10s |  But you're like, yeah, you're like, what am I looking at? Yeah, exactly like that. Cuz I don't know these things either reproduce or
418.02s - 423.38s |  Come from like insects or insects are attracted them. There's a moment where it bugs fly out. Mm-hmm
423.38s - 426.66s |  I think they see like eggs or some kind of like burrowing
427.10s - 428.42s |  system
428.42s - 432.56s |  I don't know like like alien almost, you know, like an alien when the people are like
433.06s - 438.46s |  Stuck on the walls and stuff and there's that weird like disgusting residue that's left by like the Queen alien
438.46s - 444.22s |  Yeah moves around. It's something like that where it's it's something and you're like, what is that?
444.22s - 449.14s |  It's so foreign and and same with the movements like when the aliens doing it's like mouth
449.74s - 455.78s |  Clapping things had clacking. Yeah, that was the unnerving part to me is like it almost like it catches you off guard
455.78s - 459.22s |  And like right you wouldn't know what to do if you saw that
461.99s - 468.71s |  Yeah, and then some a certain character dies in a certain way that I'm like just a what mm-hmm and
469.67s - 475.91s |  That kind of like primal grossness your lizard brain kind of turns on you're just like what?
476.99s - 478.47s |  and
478.47s - 481.59s |  as opposed to like, you know the the typical like
482.19s - 487.47s |  Teeth and jumps at you or alien eggs and you see the eggs and it's like kind of like
488.27s - 491.03s |  Oversimplifies it or makes it just kind of cliched this
491.63s - 497.23s |  Took some leaps and it isn't a groundbreaking film. It's it's not going to be remembered in history
497.23s - 501.75s |  Yeah, although they do literally break the ground. Yeah. Oh, it is a groundbreaking. Yeah, sorry
502.47s - 504.47s |  But yeah, it's literally a groundbreaking film
504.47s - 509.83s |  But it did some weird and different things with alien earth creatures that you haven't seen before
511.63s - 517.55s |  But I was not a fan of the method of shooting. I yeah, I had a real hard time
517.55s - 524.15s |  That's I think what kept me so distant from the movie was the style to me felt at odds with the actual content
524.55s - 529.59s |  Like this this is a movie that like that shot with the the hand coming in where it's just flat locked off
529.59s - 531.59s |  We're like, what am I looking at? Like that's creepy
531.63s - 538.27s |  Yeah, same way we're gonna talk about long legs lots of like flat shots or something moves in the distance things like that
538.27s - 539.71s |  I think would have
539.71s - 544.71s |  Benefited this movie and maybe it's a part of the low budget and to conceal some of the the effects work
544.71s - 548.99s |  But it's not just handheld. It's like needlessly shaky
548.99s - 555.23s |  It was making me legitimately nauseous and parts right right from the opening that you see whenever a character is running
555.23s - 557.39s |  The cameraman is running with them. I'm like, ah
557.99s - 559.99s |  yeah, it might be like either
560.75s - 565.71s |  the inexperience of the director because it that to me is always comes off as like
566.19s - 569.27s |  I know composition is so important and
569.99s - 576.87s |  It's I don't know. It's like a lot of people don't even notice certain things but editing and composition
576.87s - 578.87s |  and even if you don't aren't like
579.35s - 583.31s |  Aware of it while you're watching it if you're like oblivious to the technical aspects of filmmaking
583.31s - 589.17s |  It has a psychological effect on you. Yeah, which will also go into talking about long legs. Yeah framing is super important
589.67s - 590.75s |  and
590.75s - 592.87s |  So is editing like I don't know
592.87s - 598.07s |  I guess I always think of that scene from and glorious bastards on the farm in the beginning with oh, yeah
598.31s - 599.55s |  What's his face?
599.55s - 601.55s |  Christoph while it's and and
601.87s - 608.23s |  Terence, you know does a lot where he's like someone is giving this long talk and it's very ominous and menacing and they don't cut
608.23s - 613.31s |  He doesn't cut back to the person like listening reacting. It's just like you're like, what are they thinking?
613.31s - 620.47s |  What are they you know, and again builds tension and claustrophobia the cameras like slowly moving in and there's there's ways
620.51s - 622.71s |  to like achieve certain things and and this
623.35s - 626.87s |  This style was like, you know police
627.55s - 632.59s |  Detective movie cops on the street walking around chasing after a suspect like run and gun
632.59s - 637.95s |  We have to film this the certain way and and when I think of like this isolated farmhouse kind of thing
637.95s - 644.27s |  It's like just yeah, you want you want some lockdown shots because everybody's like walking on eggshells
644.27s - 650.01s |  Yeah, you need a visual style that matches that I think it's just like shorthand for chaotic
650.59s - 651.59s |  Yeah
651.59s - 657.07s |  Like the part especially the part when the kid falls in the cave and then his dad has to come rescue him all that stuff was
657.07s - 662.95s |  So dark it was shaky and dark and there were parts where I literally didn't know what I was looking at
662.95s - 668.91s |  Yeah, that was that that took me out that that particular scene was was more so effective
669.15s - 675.71s |  because I like when I'm like not shown what's happening to a certain extent where it's a little confusing and
675.99s - 680.19s |  It makes you feel like you're there with the character like confused and scared and
680.47s - 686.39s |  But but then there's scenes where it's like they're I don't know outside in the farm and it's daylight and just constantly like
686.39s - 688.39s |  Yeah, stop that stop that
688.99s - 694.65s |  Have the scary parts play out and shake you can if you need to cover up your effects or create a mood
694.67s - 695.87s |  Well, it's yeah, that's another thing
695.87s - 702.07s |  You have these nice locked down shots and then the monsters show up and then you break out and hold something like that
702.07s - 708.07s |  Yeah, but it all kind of has that energy through the whole movie. Yeah. Yeah, it makes them all kind of fall flat, right?
708.07s - 713.59s |  But yeah, it was I think was a pleasant surprise. Maybe because the bar was low for me. I was like, oh
715.27s - 720.47s |  Arcadian what Nicolas Cage? I was gonna say maybe your brain is rotted from watching stuff like night swim and
721.31s - 724.87s |  Imaginary, it's possible. No, I think the standouts were
726.63s - 728.07s |  You know
728.07s - 732.47s |  Some some some nice like I don't know young adult coming-of-age stuff
733.47s - 738.03s |  Good character stuff. It was nice to see a movie. That's about like two brothers
738.07s - 743.79s |  And the relationship between you never really see that like something like a quiet place. It's about the whole family, right?
743.83s - 749.47s |  There's almost always in movies now. You have to have the strong female lead
749.51s - 754.07s |  Yeah, which obviously nothing against that but in a movie like this where it's like
754.07s - 758.91s |  Whoa, this is about the relationship between two brothers and they're raised by their father. They have no
759.67s - 766.43s |  No female perspective in their life and that helps shape them too. Yeah, I really like that dinner scene. Are we not men?
768.07s - 773.71s |  where the dad's like we are men and he stabs the fork into the table the one brother stabs the fork in the table and
773.71s - 775.71s |  Then the more kind of thoughtful
775.87s - 780.79s |  Concerned brother tries and it doesn't step to the table that falls over. We're not men a
783.94s - 788.66s |  Little character moments like that that kind of say a lot just visually without spoiling the ending
789.14s - 792.30s |  Seems like a little nod to critters, too. Oh, yeah
793.38s - 797.34s |  Yes, that was kind of a pleasant surprise. I was expecting something like that from those
797.34s - 801.34s |  I think that was their their attempt at yeah, I forgot about that the
802.14s - 806.02s |  some gimmicky stuff that these things do that's just
807.62s - 814.94s |  Completely in human and strange to the point of either being alien or something and you're just like, oh, yeah
815.98s - 822.66s |  Gross or what the fuck am I looking at that kind of stuff? Yeah, I enjoyed that element of it. I will say
823.14s - 826.50s |  This is since this is the nickels cage double feature spectacular
826.50s - 833.02s |  I will say it's been nice to see that we as a society have moved past the meme-ification of Nicholas cage
833.58s - 838.30s |  Because it was like 10 12 years ago. He was just like he was just a big joke because of yeah
838.30s - 840.02s |  Not the bees and yeah
840.02s - 845.78s |  People were making like memes of him and I remember there's a whole bit on community the show community where they had a class
846.30s - 849.94s |  Dedicated to trying to figure out if Nicholas cage was a good or bad actor
850.94s - 852.54s |  Because he can be over the top
852.54s - 853.58s |  But when he's over the top
853.58s - 859.38s |  He's like entertaining and engaging and interesting because he makes just weird choices as an actor
872.28s - 876.00s |  So that's that's our review of our cadian
877.08s - 879.08s |  red box original
879.48s - 883.44s |  It's pretty okay pretty if you can get past the shaky cam
883.44s - 889.08s |  Which for me was tough sharp sharp contrast to the visual style of long legs
889.56s - 891.56s |  don't move
892.24s - 895.02s |  Is it scary being an FBI agent
895.64s - 901.58s |  Let it was left with the bodies long legs was the best
902.30s - 904.30s |  episode of criminal minds
904.58s - 910.22s |  I've never seen a single episode of criminal minds. So I can't I can't attest to the quality of that show
910.22s - 911.58s |  but
911.58s - 915.50s |  No, I I'm so glad the market that I went into this not knowing anything about it
915.50s - 918.54s |  All the marketing has just been like the trailers and stuff
918.54s - 923.26s |  I've just been selling it completely on mood and atmosphere and not really telling anything about the story
924.14s - 926.66s |  You know, you kind of get okay serial killer thing
927.06s - 932.30s |  Maybe some silence at the lambs female FBI agent and that's kind of all you got
933.14s - 939.04s |  It's gonna be a victim though of its early word-of-mouth because I feel like I've been hearing about this movie for months now
939.36s - 945.36s |  Feels like everybody already saw it before it even came out. It's just scariest movie in the last decade scariest movie
945.36s - 949.38s |  You'll ever see skit and like every time that happens, then you get that initial wave of backlash
949.92s - 951.92s |  Be like that wasn't scary
952.00s - 958.64s |  It happened with like hereditary way back when it happened with Blair Witch. That's like the the most extreme example
958.64s - 960.92s |  Well, even if it wasn't I'm not gonna play with that either
961.60s - 964.00s |  It's not because of me that we're here now
964.52s - 966.20s |  hungry
966.20s - 968.20s |  cold
968.84s - 973.96s |  Where everyone felt cheated it's just people running around the woods
975.12s - 978.28s |  Talk about shaky cam nausea and tell you about nauseous camera work
978.28s - 983.96s |  But yeah, so this is gonna gonna end up being the victim of that just go into it expecting a solid
984.40s - 991.12s |  Creepy crime movie and then be pleasantly surprised by all the weird little shit. That's in it that I wasn't expecting
994.80s - 996.80s |  Do you still say your prayers
998.20s - 1000.20s |  Yeah
1008.48s - 1012.12s |  Yeah, it took some strange turns but very much a
1013.20s - 1019.58s |  movie about an unsub who was being profiled by the FBI and then they discover
1020.36s - 1023.72s |  Things at the end and then there's a twist and then it concludes
1024.44s - 1026.44s |  the plot was
1027.24s - 1029.64s |  Yeah, not the best part it was
1030.28s - 1036.08s |  Atmospheric and moody and well shots great sense of like pacing and constant dread
1036.08s - 1040.92s |  I was thinking of like Exorcist 3 just that like constant kind of droning dread
1040.92s - 1047.84s |  There's weird sounds and that plays in with the plot which will get to after the after we say spoilers
1048.80s - 1051.12s |  but yeah, there's um, there's some
1051.92s - 1059.20s |  Brain stuff going on in the background and soundtrack and things going on. I was yeah looming dread
1060.00s - 1068.68s |  It's why like nice nice wide-angle lenses people moving forward and backwards and oh, yeah all the visuals
1068.68s - 1073.58s |  There's that part cuz it's very what I didn't know going into it was that it was gonna be so heavily like religious
1073.68s - 1075.68s |  It's religious horror basically
1075.80s - 1080.60s |  Yeah mixed with like a I guess sevens kind of religious too because it's obviously about the seven
1080.60s - 1085.44s |  We need silencer lambs meets criminal minds meet zodiac a little definitely zodiac
1085.44s - 1089.68s |  Yeah, it's kind of a mixture of a bunch of things with a little bit more supernatural than I was expecting
1089.68s - 1091.68s |  Yes, which kept it from getting
1092.28s - 1094.28s |  Maybe a little too dry
1094.44s - 1097.82s |  But yeah with the visuals like I said the religious stuff. There's the part
1098.44s - 1103.12s |  Make a Monroe's on the phone with her mom. I think she's at the police station. She's in some like public building
1103.72s - 1109.28s |  And there's that yeah on a payphone because it's in the 90s and there's that big wide shot and her mom's always asking her like
1109.28s - 1113.96s |  Did you say your prayers today? Like she's super religious and that wide shot
1113.96s - 1118.44s |  There's the stairway next to her going up and there's more of like a golden light shining down from the stairs
1118.64s - 1122.10s |  but then you see the the doors and the windows to outside and it's more of like a
1122.80s - 1125.96s |  Orange ish or a reddish light coming in from out there
1126.68s - 1130.64s |  Heaven and hell like little touches like that. It was it was it was made with care
1130.96s - 1135.16s |  Yeah, unlike I don't want to say Arcadian wasn't made with care
1135.16s - 1138.52s |  But it was probably shot quicker a little more slapdash because it's a little budget
1138.52s - 1138.92s |  Yeah
1138.92s - 1140.36s |  but this was like
1140.36s - 1142.28s |  There's probably if you go back and watch it
1142.28s - 1148.12s |  There's probably lots of little things in the frame because I kept seeing like weird shapes and her and the another FBI agent
1148.12s - 1150.12s |  The guy she's working with her boss, I guess
1150.68s - 1156.12s |  She's like a junior FBI agent. So they go into this barn and you know, it's the cameras
1157.00s - 1162.92s |  Beautifully and they come into the barn and they got their flashlights on but then the camera moves past them into this doorway
1163.44s - 1167.80s |  The entrance to the barn and you see in the distance, you know, and it's just like lingering
1167.80s - 1175.44s |  Yeah, lots of lingering and you're like you get that weird feeling like they're being watched and I they could have been we don't know
1176.04s - 1181.20s |  But you're like am I looking for somebody back there? And then it's like whoa, this is going on really long
1181.20s - 1185.96s |  They're being watched and then then it cuts away. Yeah, so there's there's lots of craftsmanship
1186.44s - 1191.60s |  In this Oz Perkins certainly knows how to direct a film. How did you do that?
1192.72s - 1194.72s |  I hope you have what it takes to solve this problem
1196.52s - 1203.84s |  And he elevated a criminal mind script because that's kind of to me the weakest part
1204.80s - 1208.28s |  It's it's it's very much a polished up
1209.28s - 1214.52s |  It's kind of like I don't know that cliched story but
1215.44s - 1217.28s |  Sort of predictable
1217.28s - 1223.16s |  Plot it didn't get too crazy, but I predicted there. Should we get just get into spoilers?
1224.24s - 1228.04s |  well, I mean all we could really praise at this point is
1228.88s - 1232.10s |  The visual style the directing the acting
1232.74s - 1238.38s |  And the tone all although the juicy delicious ingredients that make for a wonderful film
1239.34s - 1245.38s |  Without talking about the most important part of this plot. So yeah, I suppose so. All right, we're gonna get into spoilers
1246.18s - 1248.30s |  Check it out. Check it out
1249.86s - 1251.86s |  Just check it out
1253.06s - 1257.86s |  What if what if the the twist of the movie is that the real person behind the killings was dr. Steve?
1259.78s - 1261.78s |  Guess who
1262.10s - 1264.10s |  Still can't guess
1264.86s - 1268.22s |  We're talking about Satan we're talking about Hill Satan dang dangus
1273.02s - 1275.10s |  I'd be amazing if the whole movie is a prank
1276.46s - 1279.58s |  Tonsi Riley comes out at the end of the terrace flying in the breeze
1280.70s - 1282.70s |  getting the bar and
1282.74s - 1284.74s |  dang dingus
1285.54s - 1291.99s |  Yes, I'll be strays up out of the sea
1296.44s - 1298.44s |  Thank goodness, there's a little boy
1299.12s - 1306.47s |  My child was written a blasphemous name. Why aren't you telling me?
1320.61s - 1324.61s |  Anyways, that's enough silliness. Yeah. Have you waited through our silliness?
1325.53s - 1327.53s |  that's another thing before we get to
1327.97s - 1332.97s |  The the spoiler part there the the most amazing thing happened to this
1333.37s - 1339.61s |  That is tied to our most recent or someone's most recent episode of wheel of the worst. Yes
1339.77s - 1344.49s |  New channel on YouTube we watch. Mm-hmm. They have a new episode of wheel the worst and something happens
1344.49s - 1347.05s |  It's not out. Yeah, we know about we know about we've seen the early cut
1347.05s - 1353.33s |  But something amazing happens at the end and and something in this is directly related to that to where we both left
1353.41s - 1359.25s |  Yes, so when you see that wheel of the worst which will come out after this know that we shot that before we saw
1359.25s - 1364.77s |  This movie so it is just a coincidence the cosmic coincidence. It's uh, it's a random chance
1364.85s - 1371.77s |  It's a it's all there's some there's a mastermind behind it. Yeah, you'll see what we're talking about when you watch both this product
1372.25s - 1375.53s |  The long legs product and wheel of the worst. Yes
1376.13s - 1377.33s |  But okay
1377.33s - 1381.81s |  Have you waited long enough to decide if you're gonna watch long legs cuz we're gonna tell about the pie
1382.33s - 1386.81s |  Anyways, go. Oh, well, that's the aspect of it that surprised me was the whole satanic angle
1386.81s - 1389.65s |  Oh, I didn't know it was gonna go in that direction. I didn't know there was gonna be
1390.49s - 1393.57s |  everything's so like there's a supernatural element, but it's so like
1394.25s - 1399.17s |  Like vague and like ethereal and not like super over-the-top
1399.57s - 1403.37s |  Everything's like vague and kind of creepy and not like so specific
1403.37s - 1409.81s |  Well, it's like the details of how it all works which I like. Yes. Yes, it's so weird and it and it
1410.61s - 1415.59s |  It's it rides the line between it could be actually
1417.37s - 1422.29s |  Supernatural or it could be the interpretation. Well, that's another the dolls. That's another thing where it's like
1422.29s - 1424.97s |  Oh, this is a Satanist movie. It's a creepy doll movie
1424.97s - 1431.09s |  It's a supernatural movie and it's a serious like all these things that feel like they would be too much too many different elements
1431.09s - 1438.69s |  But they're all like so thinly spread out. Yeah, I mean the only like indication of actual like real
1441.49s - 1443.05s |  Paranormal or
1443.05s - 1447.33s |  Supernatural would be like when you physically see that black smoke
1448.05s - 1455.21s |  But that could be just interpretation and then the guy at the the guy the guy at the morgue has the so the silver
1455.21s - 1460.21s |  Bowl bearing that's inside the brains inside the skull of dolls that are
1460.81s - 1462.81s |  What is it called my twin?
1463.33s - 1470.33s |  My twin dolls. Yeah, he puts like a piece of metal on it and it kind of you hear like a radio waves coming through
1470.33s - 1473.05s |  so there could and Nicholas Cage's in the sort of like a
1474.33s - 1476.01s |  junk store
1476.09s - 1482.89s |  Where the girl calls her dad. Yeah, those are the witnesses that help them track down because they're like we
1483.13s - 1484.45s |  We have a picture of them
1484.45s - 1490.29s |  She's like that creepy guy's back and there's like there were a bunch of camera lenses and all sorts of like weird stuff
1490.29s - 1497.25s |  It's like Radio Shack. Yeah, redneck Radio Shack or something. So there's possible there's a sort of we're real world
1497.97s - 1499.41s |  explanation
1499.41s - 1501.41s |  because she has
1503.33s - 1505.33s |  Abilities
1506.29s - 1510.13s |  Sensing abilities that you could either interpret us
1510.89s - 1512.45s |  supernatural or
1512.45s - 1518.21s |  Something else going on. I have a feeling this is a movie that's gonna benefit from rewatches because there's so many little details
1518.21s - 1520.73s |  And I'm not like super versed on religion
1520.73s - 1526.89s |  But I'm assuming there's something behind like the dates like the ages of the girls that get killed or nine their birthdays are always on
1526.89s - 1528.37s |  the 13th
1528.37s - 1529.53s |  14th
1529.53s - 1531.89s |  So there's probably more to stuff like that that I well
1531.89s - 1536.09s |  Yeah, she discusses his algorithm when she prints out the thing and it's like a pattern
1536.09s - 1540.73s |  Yeah, it forms this sign of the devil some kind of weird symbol, right?
1540.73s - 1543.29s |  But there's also the yeah, the the silver ball
1543.29s - 1547.25s |  Yeah, you hear like static waves and I noticed every time she was on the phone with her mom
1547.25s - 1549.23s |  Oh, yeah, you would also hear those noises
1549.23s - 1552.73s |  staticky and they come in and out of the film, but the coroner guy says he's like
1553.49s - 1559.65s |  When I when I touched the ball with this metal thing and I he said I started to immediately think about my ex-wife
1559.97s - 1565.73s |  Mmm, and I haven't thought about her in years and he makes this kind of face like because that's the point is the ball
1566.09s - 1569.81s |  Kind of controls your mind and turns you into a murder rigorous
1570.57s - 1572.57s |  psychopath, which
1573.17s - 1574.93s |  little silly
1574.93s - 1578.93s |  Borderline silly but presented how it's executed the most artistically
1579.73s - 1585.97s |  Executable way which that's of course made it work right because us Perkins could make a creepy horror film
1586.17s - 1591.77s |  So I don't know. I love that when you could take things that are just when you're describing them sound kind of silly
1591.77s - 1597.01s |  But I mean even the plot of like seven sounds like it's like a corny 90s action movie
1597.01s - 1601.29s |  If you really explain it, but it's presented. It's killing everybody based in the seven daily sins
1601.29s - 1602.57s |  Yeah, it sounds so goofy
1602.57s - 1609.45s |  But then when you see the movie like it's really unsettling we should we should start a podcast called in the hands of another film
1610.45s - 1614.85s |  Right where you take a classic movie like like seven or even long lines
1615.25s - 1620.25s |  Say what would Brett Ratner make out of this or somebody, you know, somebody else?
1620.25s - 1623.93s |  It's just some completely different visual styles and different directing
1626.57s - 1632.77s |  Yeah, yeah that like where like I said criminal minds like a show like that where it's just like a procedural show
1632.77s - 1635.49s |  There's a serial killer. They interview people
1636.21s - 1641.09s |  Well, oh there's a you know, you're red herring that's not you think that's gonna be it
1641.65s - 1647.69s |  No, it's not and then it turns out then at the end. They either they either arrest or kill
1648.25s - 1650.25s |  the the unsub
1656.93s - 1660.49s |  If you strip everything away in these are your very basic story beats
1660.49s - 1664.05s |  Yeah, cuz when the mom was calling on the phone, I'm like she's got something to do with this, right?
1664.25s - 1669.05s |  She's got something to do with that. That was the one thing that was there's got to be someone helping him
1669.37s - 1672.09s |  It's like well, we only have four characters in this movie
1673.77s - 1675.77s |  Yeah
1677.01s - 1679.01s |  Is it the little girl
1680.93s - 1686.33s |  You can't be the FBI agent that would be too corny and then like Nicolas Cage is like
1687.53s - 1690.41s |  The I don't know what they never really gotten to his backstory
1690.41s - 1695.13s |  He's talking about like birthdays and little girls and dolls and so I'm like, okay
1695.13s - 1700.97s |  Did he go nuts after his own daughter was killed on our birthday and then it's like something don't do that
1700.97s - 1705.53s |  Don't do that movie and then it goes like some weird weird-ass. Yeah. Well, yeah
1705.53s - 1709.15s |  And there's also something about like the cycle of violence like perpetuating
1709.73s - 1712.33s |  Almost like the ring where it's like you have to pass it off to other people
1712.97s - 1716.05s |  Yeah, so there's stuff like that now. It's like at the end of the movie. She
1716.93s - 1718.97s |  Technically defeats long legs
1718.97s - 1720.73s |  but not really because
1720.73s - 1725.81s |  She and this little girl are gonna be stuck with this trauma forever and there might be a part of long legs in her
1726.17s - 1731.89s |  The Nicolas Cage character says that at one point there's always be pieces of me out there. It's like the Joker or something
1731.89s - 1737.85s |  Yeah, yeah, yeah and his performance. I can see it maybe being too much for people some people
1738.65s - 1740.65s |  bordering on comedic
1741.13s - 1743.13s |  kind of like the creatures in
1743.65s - 1748.33s |  Arcadia though where it's like they're so unnatural and weird. Yeah that it's unsettling even though
1748.93s - 1752.45s |  You could view it in a way that makes it seem more comedic
1752.45s - 1755.75s |  I think he's had plastic surgery maybe to look like a doll
1756.33s - 1759.89s |  Yeah, maybe don't knows breaks apart at the end
1759.89s - 1766.27s |  But he has a weird puffy face and he's painted it like a doll like white with powder and
1766.85s - 1768.85s |  But he he clearly
1769.17s - 1771.17s |  Used to love heavy metal music
1771.81s - 1775.65s |  I don't know if that's what got him into Satanism
1776.17s - 1782.83s |  But he's singing. Yeah, he could be like this is like 90s and there's no real in world like in the movie
1782.83s - 1784.97s |  There's no real explanation as to why it's the 90s
1785.25s - 1790.53s |  But it could be that he was yeah, he was younger during the height of the like satanic panic era
1790.77s - 1798.13s |  Maybe that's what got him into it Satanism. I don't know maybe yeah, cuz he sings like like a hair metal band
1798.85s - 1805.65s |  Yeah, but he says such weird disturbing things and it's almost like that kind of like that squint kind of thing you do like where you're just like
1806.21s - 1811.13s |  Like if you forget it's Nicolas Cage, it's kind of creepy. But then once you kind of start to remember
1812.01s - 1815.53s |  that it's him then you kind of go ho ho and now feels like a
1816.45s - 1821.37s |  skit or something and where they probably should have cast a
1822.41s - 1824.41s |  Someone who's unknown in that role
1824.73s - 1829.41s |  You know who would have been good in that part. It's almost like a comeback vehicle would be like a Crispin Glover
1830.09s - 1832.09s |  No, man, he would have nailed this part
1832.81s - 1837.05s |  Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of good choices. Yeah, I thought Nicolas Cage was good though
1837.05s - 1837.77s |  But yeah, oh, yeah
1837.77s - 1839.89s |  I mean you can maybe pull you out because you know
1839.89s - 1845.21s |  It's Nicolas Cage and what he's doing is out of context of the movie if you were to look at clips of it
1845.21s - 1846.97s |  It would probably seem kind of silly
1846.97s - 1856.01s |  Just shake yourself. Try I think when you say like people this is the scariest movie you'll ever see
1856.37s - 1858.37s |  You'll you'll run out of the theater
1858.57s - 1864.49s |  Throwing up and you'll shit your pants and then your pants will shit themselves or painting in the aisles
1864.49s - 1870.01s |  That's sort of not that kind of movie. It's just like constant dread. Yes. Yeah younger people will get bored during it
1870.01s - 1874.49s |  I think and I always knock on the younger folk, but maybe not all of them. I'm just saying like
1875.21s - 1879.53s |  You know, I was I was half expecting when the movie ended someone's to go
1880.17s - 1883.69s |  Fucking sucked, you know, cuz it kind of it does end on a good note
1883.77s - 1887.29s |  But um, I thought it was gonna end earlier before I was worried
1887.29s - 1891.05s |  It was gonna end earlier and then I'd be like, oh, it's one of those anti ending endings
1891.13s - 1893.61s |  But no, I think it pays off in a satisfying way
1893.61s - 1900.65s |  That is also creepy because it shows that this evil will just continue. It just lives is all movies about like evil
1901.61s - 1907.45s |  Again, like exorcist three. I thought that worked really well, but uh, yeah a good movie. Uh
1908.49s - 1913.45s |  Again, uh, I would have loved to have watched this in my home
1913.77s - 1919.05s |  This is yeah, uh, if you have a nice theater where people are respectful and quiet and the chairs
1919.21s - 1923.69s |  Don't make fart noises every time you move because it's the quietest movie you've ever seen
1923.85s - 1927.21s |  Yeah, the people in our theater were respectful and quiet. I had no problems with the people
1927.29s - 1933.85s |  It's just the movie was very quiet in this case. Yeah those the fucking seats. I hate those big poofy
1935.21s - 1937.21s |  Tootsie roll chairs
1937.45s - 1939.29s |  and mine was like
1939.29s - 1941.53s |  I moved if I moved like an inch it goes
1942.49s - 1945.61s |  It was like full-blown fart sound it was for a long time
1945.93s - 1948.97s |  So I had to like remain and I'm a very antsy person
1948.97s - 1955.93s |  I'm always moving and I I had to just like remain completely still or else if I moved just a bit
1957.29s - 1961.61s |  And it like echoed throughout the whole theater and everybody heard it and every seat is so quiet
1961.61s - 1964.73s |  It's just like making Monroe on the phone instead of silence. Yeah
1972.97s - 1976.41s |  No, our experience wasn't wasn't unpleasant it was just uh
1977.13s - 1980.33s |  Yeah, people wise it wasn't too bad. It was fine. It was a morning
1980.57s - 1982.57s |  You know who goes to see long lugs in the morning
1982.73s - 1986.89s |  That is another thing that this sort of bended from is yeah seen it at night in a nice dark creepy
1987.69s - 1989.21s |  spooky
1989.21s - 1994.33s |  Stormy night watching this movie. Oh at home. Sure. Oh, I thought you meant like at night in a theater
1994.41s - 1999.13s |  No, see this is this is going to be a very bad theatrical experience for a lot of people because it's a very quiet movie
1999.13s - 2002.25s |  And it's very slow movie and it's very dull in the middle
2003.05s - 2007.21s |  Why doesn't that have to be the full length every time could be shorter?
2007.53s - 2010.73s |  It does benefit though from that that theater sound
2011.29s - 2017.45s |  Yeah, like all the all the little uh ambient noises and weird sound effects throughout it that are kind of going all over the place
2017.93s - 2021.77s |  You'll miss some of that at home unless you have a nice, uh, you know surround sound set up, right?
2022.09s - 2025.93s |  Yeah, that's true. That's true sound was important in this it was helping to create that
2026.65s - 2031.45s |  That tone and that and lots of clues and it was nice on such a large screen
2031.93s - 2035.45s |  Because like you mentioned the whole movie like lots of wide shots where it's like
2035.85s - 2040.81s |  It makes you feel like like a voyeur almost or like and it gets you like scanning around the frame
2041.21s - 2043.77s |  The first time she calls her mom there's this shot
2043.77s - 2045.05s |  She's kind of dead center in the frame
2045.05s - 2050.17s |  But lots of lots of wide lenses and there's the doorway behind her to like the kitchen and I kept going to that
2050.25s - 2056.01s |  Doorway, like is someone gonna walk back there? They never did but there was that tension because you were just waiting for it
2056.01s - 2057.85s |  Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was a creepy part
2058.01s - 2062.25s |  Yeah comes in her house and creepy without yeah any before anything creepy even happens
2062.81s - 2065.53s |  Just by the framing just by the the tone of it
2066.39s - 2067.45s |  anticipatory
2067.45s - 2072.57s |  Framing yeah, because like like with the shot through the barn or over the over shoulder
2072.97s - 2078.25s |  I was looking to because the the the room she was in was like she was looking like a log cabin in the woods
2078.25s - 2079.05s |  It was like yeah
2079.05s - 2083.13s |  Like a rustic key house is very brown and then the kitchen had like a sort of bluish tint
2083.29s - 2087.45s |  So it popped out and it was just like framed behind her so she can't see and so yeah
2087.53s - 2092.49s |  You're just sitting there with anticipation expecting and that's goes back to arcadian. I'm talking about like
2093.21s - 2094.17s |  it's
2094.17s - 2095.93s |  important framing
2095.93s - 2097.45s |  purposeful framing
2097.45s - 2102.73s |  Blocking, you know setting the the stage and all that and arcadian
2104.17s - 2107.29s |  Quick just just film the whole conversation. I don't know how to block it
2107.37s - 2108.09s |  Yeah, I don't know
2108.09s - 2112.25s |  I don't know how to take my time like like setting up all these shots and like oh this shot
2112.73s - 2118.57s |  Where the kid is saying this to a different character is representing this so let's put this person in this part of the frame
2118.65s - 2126.01s |  So that we're you're you can subtly subconsciously get this this impression that this you know, nah, we don't have time for that
2127.61s - 2129.85s |  Film film film just get it all in
2130.57s - 2134.57s |  So half of our budgets go in towards the cgi work on the monsters
2134.89s - 2136.89s |  Let's get it all shot in the cannon. We'll fix it later
2137.05s - 2142.17s |  Well, um, this was not that polar opposite movies are both enjoyable
2143.05s - 2147.29s |  One is clearly done with a higher level of craftsmanship and skill
2147.85s - 2154.73s |  The other uh took some some interesting chances and some new angles on monsters that I enjoyed but uh
2155.05s - 2157.85s |  lacked in the technical and directing areas
2158.89s - 2160.89s |  and both
2160.97s - 2162.97s |  Had nicholas cage
2163.53s - 2165.45s |  He'll be negative
2165.45s - 2167.45s |  Check it out
2171.45s - 2173.61s |  This is the only only use of ai that I will
2173.99s - 2178.57s |  Tolerate if somebody uses ai to replace nicholas cage in this movie with steve brule
2179.85s - 2181.85s |  This is your regular boat
2181.93s - 2188.41s |  Yeah, that weird like 3d morphing effect. Hey dingus. Give them give them kids to doll you dingus
2190.49s - 2192.49s |  Hail satan dingus
2193.13s - 2195.13s |  Put a giant ball bearing in its head
2196.33s - 2198.89s |  It tells your daddy to measure mommy tat
2200.01s - 2201.85s |  hail certain
2201.85s - 2203.85s |  hail satan
2205.77s - 2210.17s |  Hail satin if you don't worship jingus you have to worship satan
2216.57s - 2219.21s |  Oh, I don't think they'd approve of your hurried attitude
2221.80s - 2223.80s |  That was a dumb thing to say
