00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:23.440
<v Scott>Hello, everyone, and welcome to Episode 108 of The Friday Nightmares Podcast.

00:01:23.440 --> 00:01:26.700
<v Scott>I am one half of your hosting team this evening.

00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:27.660
<v Scott>Mr.

00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Scott>Smokeshow Crawford, coming to you from the town of Swartz Creek, in the county of Genesee, in the state of Michigan, in the United States of America, in the North American continent, in the Western Hemisphere, on planet Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy.

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:49.420
<v Scott>I'm fully vaxxed, boosted, and whacked, and ready to climax, and if you can, please get me wet and feed me after midnight.

00:01:49.420 --> 00:02:06.960
<v Scott>I'm the man with the glorious beard, aka Mother of Cats, aka the man with the humongous ego, aka Scotthausen, aka Scotty Too Hotty, aka Spanky, aka Hey Scott, and with me as always is...

00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:08.580
<v Heather>Aka Husband.

00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:10.740
<v Scott>Oh yes, aka Husband now.

00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:11.860
<v Scott>Yeah, yeah.

00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:13.580
<v Heather>An official stepfather.

00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:14.700
<v Scott>Yeah, yes.

00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:18.200
<v Scott>Now the stepfather movie can really take place.

00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:21.780
<v Heather>And now that I've met the children, I know what risks they're at.

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:23.100
<v Heather>They are so sweet.

00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:24.040
<v Heather>I don't...

00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:24.760
<v Heather>I'm concerned.

00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:28.320
<v Heather>I'm concerned of your toxicity just leading into it.

00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:30.380
<v Scott>They showed you their polite face.

00:02:30.380 --> 00:02:31.460
<v Heather>Oh, they certainly did.

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:34.860
<v Heather>Those two young men were on their best behavior when I was there for your wedding.

00:02:34.940 --> 00:02:45.740
<v Heather>But with him, as always, is Heather Powell, coming to you today from Waterdown, Ontario, Canada, for the second last episode of The Friday Nightmares Podcast.

00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:46.900
<v Heather>Oh, that got me a little emotional.

00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:48.580
<v Heather>That was surprising when I said it out loud.

00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:49.980
<v Heather>We talk about it all the time.

00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Heather>But it actually got me a little emotional.

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.300
<v Heather>But we are breaking up.

00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:58.160
<v Heather>This is this may be a slow decline, everybody, but it's like any relationship.

00:02:58.160 --> 00:02:59.720
<v Heather>You know, you stop trying.

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:02.160
<v Heather>You don't spend the time you used to, you know.

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Scott>As the song goes, breaking up is hard to do.

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:06.620
<v Heather>It is.

00:03:06.620 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Heather>It is.

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Heather>And then one day you're just at Chili's over some dips and you're just you're ending it.

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Heather>And the reason why I make that joke is because I read this thing on online where like some guy got dumped at Chili's and the server brought him mozzarella sticks to like comfort him.

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:25.940
<v Heather>Like, that's really nice, actually.

00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:26.980
<v Heather>Go Chili's.

00:03:27.380 --> 00:03:28.620
<v Heather>Yeah, that's Chili's, actually.

00:03:28.620 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Heather>I went to Chili's just before your wedding.

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Heather>That's just the bomb.

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.940
<v Heather>They got great food at Chili's.

00:03:33.940 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Scott>I haven't been there since they've because I think they redid their like entire menu and everything like that.

00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:46.500
<v Scott>So I've been there since they've redone everything because before it used to be just kind of like Olive Garden, just mediocre.

00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:48.660
<v Scott>You know, your typical.

00:03:48.660 --> 00:03:51.020
<v Scott>What do you call that franchise type restaurant?

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:52.180
<v Heather>Oh, it's still that.

00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:54.620
<v Heather>But we got drunk there and they were really nice to us.

00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.920
<v Heather>So they put on the World Series, which we were like clearly the only Canadians in the restaurant that cared.

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:03.020
<v Heather>So that was very kind of them to do that.

00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:04.480
<v Scott>That is true.

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Heather>Right.

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.880
<v Heather>And they were like, we're cheering for the Blue Jays, too.

00:04:07.880 --> 00:04:10.340
<v Heather>And we were like, I go to Detroit Lions.

00:04:11.420 --> 00:04:14.200
<v Scott>Which shockily, I thought they were picking ass.

00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:14.440
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:15.100
<v Heather>You know what?

00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Heather>This is not an NFL football podcast.

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Heather>But I do watch football and I cheer for the Bills and I cheer for Detroit.

00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.020
<v Heather>Because obviously, they're border towns.

00:04:26.020 --> 00:04:27.140
<v Heather>Right.

00:04:27.140 --> 00:04:30.200
<v Heather>And I think they're two teams that aren't full of dicks, to be honest with you.

00:04:30.200 --> 00:04:35.420
<v Heather>I think they're the underdogs that I would love to see go on and have some kind of success.

00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Heather>Fuck West Coast teams.

00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:37.420
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:04:37.460 --> 00:04:39.140
<v Heather>Fuck fucking Southern teams.

00:04:39.140 --> 00:04:47.880
<v Scott>And honestly, I don't watch football, but since it's Detroit lines and they are actually doing really well for like the third year in a row, like I'm paying attention.

00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:53.580
<v Scott>I'm like at least looking at scores and stuff because I'm just curious, like because lines have never been good.

00:04:53.580 --> 00:04:57.140
<v Scott>And to see them actually be good and consistently good is kind of shocking.

00:04:57.140 --> 00:04:57.540
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:00.840
<v Heather>And you know, like, not again, this is not a sports podcast.

00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:01.900
<v Heather>I don't know how we got into this.

00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:12.280
<v Heather>But when we were watching, the Tigers were in the Run for the World series and they were the only other team besides the Jays that I would have cheered to the end if they had gone all the way.

00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:14.820
<v Heather>I would have loved to see Detroit.

00:05:14.820 --> 00:05:21.900
<v Heather>You know, I think there is something when you're in a border town, like I even noticed that being over where I was seeing you, a lot of people like, oh yeah, we cheers for the Jays.

00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:23.400
<v Heather>Fuck like LA.

00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:24.420
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:26.100
<v Heather>Like, because it's closer, right?

00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:28.660
<v Heather>You have a little bit more of a relationship.

00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:39.100
<v Heather>And I think it also emphasizes that the relationship between our country may look bad, you know, but I think between border towns at least, we're still quite friendly.

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Heather>Yeah, I'll say a lot of, yeah.

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Scott>Honestly, we work, we're neighbors.

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:43.260
<v Heather>We are.

00:05:43.260 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Scott>We're straight up neighbors.

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:53.400
<v Heather>And I think there's more of a knowledge of each other and how each other functions, you know, and I think that that helps too.

00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:58.640
<v Scott>Yeah, that does, you know, it's our governments that are fighting and we're just like, yeah, whatever.

00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:00.420
<v Heather>Well, it's your government.

00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Scott>100 percent my government.

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:02.880
<v Scott>Oh, I know.

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.620
<v Scott>Mine's the instigating asshole.

00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:08.840
<v Heather>Yeah, you know, the toxicity over here.

00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:09.460
<v Heather>We're just trying.

00:06:09.460 --> 00:06:10.660
<v Heather>We're just vibing.

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:11.220
<v Scott>Exactly.

00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:13.980
<v Scott>With our maple syrup and our mousses.

00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:14.440
<v Heather>We're just vibing.

00:06:14.440 --> 00:06:15.780
<v Scott>And our ketchup chips.

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:16.840
<v Heather>This is ketchup chips.

00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:19.780
<v Heather>We're just fucking vibing, man.

00:06:19.780 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Heather>So, yes, we're coming off the heels of Scottie's.

00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:24.020
<v Heather>We're talking.

00:06:24.020 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Heather>We're obviously talking around, but talking about your wedding.

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:30.300
<v Scott>Yes.

00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Scott>Today would have been, well, yesterday would have been three weeks since the wedding.

00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:40.300
<v Scott>But a lot has gone on before then and during and after it.

00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Scott>But man, what a whirlwind of activity that ended up.

00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Scott>It turned out way better than even I had anticipated.

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.180
<v Scott>Like, Eric and I both even said that.

00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:55.900
<v Scott>We're like, we expected it to turn out to be fun, but my God, that was way better than we hoped it could be.

00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:57.220
<v Heather>It was incredible.

00:06:57.500 --> 00:06:59.640
<v Heather>It was a really, really good time.

00:06:59.640 --> 00:07:02.960
<v Scott>Yeah, like, I was happy with just how everybody was.

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:04.200
<v Scott>Everybody showed up.

00:07:04.200 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Scott>Well, I'd say about 75 to 80 percent of the people actually showed up in costume, which was awesome.

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.300
<v Scott>Yeah, yeah.

00:07:10.300 --> 00:07:12.200
<v Scott>Like, the DJs were amazing.

00:07:12.200 --> 00:07:14.460
<v Scott>Played great music throughout the night.

00:07:14.460 --> 00:07:16.780
<v Scott>The bartender was great.

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:17.660
<v Scott>You know, we...

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.080
<v Heather>Shout out to the bartender.

00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:20.440
<v Scott>Yeah, right.

00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:25.460
<v Scott>I was going to say, shout out to everybody that helped us out throughout this thing.

00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:30.780
<v Scott>So like our friends Angie and James doing the cooking for us and catering.

00:07:30.780 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Scott>Erika's stepsister Alexis for helping with the catering and also helping with Erika.

00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.180
<v Scott>You and Ron for helping us set up and do everything and just being there for us.

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Heather>I sat there and I entertained the boys.

00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:44.020
<v Heather>Let's be clear.

00:07:44.460 --> 00:07:46.180
<v Scott>That right there helps a lot.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Heather>I talked to Connor about guns.

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:50.740
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:56.060
<v Scott>But just everybody that chipped in and helped out just to make this day, like our day so special.

00:07:56.060 --> 00:07:56.640
<v Scott>Like huge shout out.

00:07:56.640 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Heather>Yeah, it was special.

00:07:58.400 --> 00:07:59.140
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:07:59.140 --> 00:08:00.260
<v Scott>It was a great turnout.

00:08:00.260 --> 00:08:04.880
<v Scott>Like wasn't insanely packed and there was a nice flow of people in and out constantly.

00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:05.580
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:08:05.580 --> 00:08:06.060
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:12.500
<v Scott>And it ended at a good time where it was like, we're not dragging this out and we were home by like 11.30.

00:08:13.380 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:13.840
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:18.140
<v Heather>I was, I don't know what time we got back to the hotel, because I made choices.

00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:20.740
<v Heather>We all did.

00:08:20.740 --> 00:08:23.140
<v Heather>I think I made a lot more different choices.

00:08:23.140 --> 00:08:27.080
<v Scott>I mean, you had the option to, I had to still drive.

00:08:27.080 --> 00:08:28.320
<v Scott>Even if it was a long time ago.

00:08:28.320 --> 00:08:29.220
<v Heather>I took Mr.

00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:31.620
<v Heather>Jeep Uber that didn't have seatbelts, but it's all right.

00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:32.460
<v Heather>It's fucking Michigan.

00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:33.340
<v Heather>I'm here for it.

00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:33.820
<v Scott>Oh, God.

00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:34.500
<v Heather>Really?

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:35.300
<v Heather>No, I had seatbelts.

00:08:35.300 --> 00:08:36.620
<v Heather>I don't think they were working that well.

00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Heather>But I blame Ron for bringing extra party favors that.

00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:44.780
<v Scott>Oh, yeah, my cousin.

00:08:44.780 --> 00:08:47.420
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:08:47.420 --> 00:08:48.820
<v Heather>That was fun, though.

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:50.680
<v Heather>And you had a bonfire outside.

00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Scott>Yes, we did.

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Scott>We had a bonfire s'more station, which I don't think the s'more station ever really got used.

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.380
<v Heather>But I did toast some marshmallows.

00:08:57.380 --> 00:08:57.820
<v Scott>Oh, did you?

00:08:57.820 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Scott>OK.

00:08:58.280 --> 00:08:59.180
<v Heather>Oh, I did.

00:08:59.180 --> 00:08:59.660
<v Heather>I did.

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:01.440
<v Heather>Don't you worry.

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.160
<v Heather>And the and the setup was you had your pinhead there.

00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Heather>Pinhead was there to witness the day.

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:08.220
<v Scott>Yep.

00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:10.060
<v Scott>He was honoring us.

00:09:10.060 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:11.920
<v Heather>It was really nice.

00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:17.260
<v Heather>You know, it was such a, you know, you and Erica are a very good couple, right?

00:09:17.260 --> 00:09:21.140
<v Heather>Like and you fell head over heels for her very early on.

00:09:21.140 --> 00:09:23.760
<v Heather>And in my speech, we're not going to go over my speech.

00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:26.620
<v Heather>Like I mentioned that because I'll never forget.

00:09:26.620 --> 00:09:31.660
<v Heather>And it's true, Scott, the day that you brought her up, you've been to my house three or four times by that point.

00:09:31.660 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.280
<v Heather>And the fact that you entered in the wrong address, I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:42.580
<v Heather>And then I saw you had your hat backwards, because I know she likes it when you have your hat backwards when you video chatted.

00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:45.460
<v Heather>And I saw her giggling and like the way she touched your hand.

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:52.860
<v Heather>I'm like, oh, that's why he was distracted driving here today.

00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:56.160
<v Heather>It was very, very sweet, very, very sweet.

00:09:56.660 --> 00:09:59.140
<v Heather>And she was she she handled it well.

00:09:59.140 --> 00:10:02.660
<v Heather>Like I know she didn't have a lot of sleep, the poor thing.

00:10:02.660 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Heather>Yeah, the Friday to the Saturday.

00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.540
<v Heather>I don't think any bride sleeps well.

00:10:08.540 --> 00:10:11.960
<v Heather>But she she rocked it going on literally, I think two hours of sleep.

00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.580
<v Heather>So I think she, yeah, yeah.

00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:19.060
<v Scott>She was fueled by caffeine and the energy of the moment.

00:10:19.100 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Scott>And yeah, love for me.

00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:22.980
<v Scott>We'll say that.

00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:26.940
<v Heather>Yeah, it was her undying love for you, Scott, that kept her going.

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:28.220
<v Heather>She's like, yeah, that's it.

00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:28.700
<v Scott>Yeah, 100%.

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Heather>Nothing to do with the pot of coffee I drank, Heather, had everything to do with my undying love for Scott.

00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.640
<v Heather>But that's the pictures too.

00:10:37.640 --> 00:10:40.400
<v Heather>You couldn't have had a better day for these photos.

00:10:40.400 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Heather>They were like Halloween, spooky, haunted.

00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Scott>Yes.

00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:51.580
<v Heather>Like, I don't know, it's like the I know that you're not necessarily someone who believes in God, but it's like someone heard you.

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:53.100
<v Heather>And they were like, we got you.

00:10:53.100 --> 00:10:53.640
<v Heather>Don't you worry.

00:10:53.640 --> 00:10:54.760
<v Scott>Right.

00:10:54.760 --> 00:11:04.320
<v Scott>Well, I was going to say, I cannot wait till we get all the professional photos back for our photographer, because also shout out to Cheyenne, the photographer, because she kicked ass.

00:11:05.520 --> 00:11:09.520
<v Scott>She stayed to the very end and even helped us break down everything, which was awesome.

00:11:09.520 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Scott>She didn't have to do that.

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:11.800
<v Heather>She's a very good photographer.

00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.880
<v Scott>Yeah, and she took advantage of that open field with all the fall leaves and everything.

00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:22.740
<v Scott>So I can't wait to see those photos when she gets them all finished up and uploaded.

00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:25.420
<v Scott>But yeah, this turned out amazing.

00:11:25.420 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Scott>It was funny though, because Erica and I barely seen or spoke to each other after all the necessities were done, because people kept pulling us in different directions.

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Heather>Of course, it's your wedding day.

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:38.740
<v Heather>Like, I don't think we talked enough.

00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.300
<v Scott>Yeah, we talked enough.

00:11:41.300 --> 00:11:46.100
<v Scott>I felt like I'm like, damn, I didn't really get to even hang out with Erica and George that much.

00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:47.440
<v Heather>Well, you know, here's the thing.

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Heather>You don't need to, because we'll see you again, because Ron is now our new best friends, and he'll be coming up to and staying at a different hotel.

00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.300
<v Heather>I definitely it was fine.

00:11:58.300 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Heather>Like, honestly, it was just more that it was kind of like dirty around the hotel.

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.080
<v Heather>Like, I didn't give a shit about drug deals and stuff.

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:09.220
<v Heather>Like, I know that makes me sound probably like, but fuck, who cares about people making a little money off a blow?

00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:10.560
<v Heather>Like, that's not...

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:11.980
<v Heather>I can turn my head to that.

00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:15.140
<v Heather>I was more concerned that there's like human trafficking or something going on in the hotel.

00:12:15.140 --> 00:12:18.800
<v Heather>That I have a hard time turning away from.

00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:20.460
<v Heather>But luckily, I didn't see any of that.

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:22.740
<v Heather>And I'm making it sound like this was the worst hotel.

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:24.760
<v Heather>It was not, just to be clear.

00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:26.060
<v Scott>It's just Flint.

00:12:26.060 --> 00:12:27.240
<v Heather>It's just Flint, you know?

00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.980
<v Heather>And even the restaurants, when I would go there, they're like, yeah, yeah, this is Flint.

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.180
<v Heather>I'm like, it's a thing, man.

00:12:31.180 --> 00:12:35.400
<v Heather>I don't know if I can tell you people were like, this is Flint.

00:12:35.400 --> 00:12:39.260
<v Scott>Flint does what Flint does, and the Flint people do what Flint people do.

00:12:39.260 --> 00:12:41.740
<v Heather>Like, hence when we pulled up to the border and they're like, where are you heading to?

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:42.580
<v Heather>We're like, Flint.

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Heather>No question of like, are you sure you're coming?

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:45.760
<v Heather>They're like, oh, you're coming back.

00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:47.060
<v Heather>We know you're not staying.

00:12:47.060 --> 00:12:48.180
<v Scott>Yeah, nope.

00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:51.780
<v Heather>You two white folks looking like you just pulled out of a fucking Starbucks.

00:12:51.780 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Heather>You two are not staying in Flint.

00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Scott>In the hotel that I was thinking that you were going to stay at, I thought was on Hill Road.

00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:06.160
<v Scott>And that's the one that Erika and her friends all got hotel at the night before.

00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:13.220
<v Scott>Well, they ended up having like something happen that they had to get shuffle everybody to the hotel across the street.

00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:16.340
<v Scott>So it was like, good thing you didn't go there, because that would have been a mess too.

00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:17.560
<v Heather>Honestly, I couldn't win.

00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:22.580
<v Heather>You know, it was just not the high point for Flint hotels on the weekend of your wedding.

00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:25.240
<v Heather>But it was a high point for your wedding.

00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.560
<v Heather>And that's all that matters.

00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:30.760
<v Heather>Is that you're married, and now you can have sex.

00:13:30.760 --> 00:13:32.980
<v Scott>I can finally not live in sin.

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:37.500
<v Heather>You know, I'm proud of you for finally doing the right thing, Scott.

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:40.820
<v Scott>Oh, but yeah, this, I couldn't have been happier.

00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:43.360
<v Scott>Yep, we had, I had the week off right after the wedding.

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:50.680
<v Scott>So Erica and I took a couple days to Frankenmuth, which is like the touristy German town around here.

00:13:50.680 --> 00:13:54.900
<v Scott>We just wanted to be somewhere close by, because this was kind of our test for our boys.

00:13:55.040 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Scott>Just make sure they could handle being on their own, take care of the pets and everything else, and we're still close by if they needed us.

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.280
<v Scott>And yeah, they did wonderfully.

00:14:03.280 --> 00:14:03.980
<v Scott>House was not burnt down.

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:06.260
<v Scott>Yeah, they were like, bye!

00:14:06.260 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Scott>Yeah, I was shocked.

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.800
<v Scott>I mean, house wasn't a mess.

00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:09.980
<v Scott>House wasn't burnt down.

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:11.580
<v Scott>Animals were all taken care of.

00:14:12.060 --> 00:14:14.780
<v Heather>Yeah, because they want you to go away for longer and further next time.

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:15.740
<v Scott>Exactly.

00:14:15.740 --> 00:14:16.760
<v Heather>And they're not stupid.

00:14:16.760 --> 00:14:20.640
<v Heather>They're like, oh no, you need to do this right.

00:14:20.640 --> 00:14:22.800
<v Scott>And Connor's probably going to kill me.

00:14:22.920 --> 00:14:26.220
<v Scott>But at the wedding, he met a girl.

00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:27.400
<v Heather>He didn't.

00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Scott>And he was dancing with her.

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.420
<v Scott>And now they're talking all the time.

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Heather>And Connor's like, he doesn't listen to this, does he?

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:36.100
<v Scott>I know he does not.

00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:37.860
<v Heather>OK, good.

00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:40.160
<v Scott>If I told him, I'm going to kill you.

00:14:40.160 --> 00:14:41.400
<v Heather>Yeah, I don't know.

00:14:41.400 --> 00:14:41.980
<v Heather>You know what?

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:44.480
<v Heather>Some things you just keep to yourself, Scotty.

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:46.540
<v Scott>But it's so much fun to you.

00:14:46.540 --> 00:14:50.780
<v Scott>But it's fun to torment, because then you're just starting to put me in a home.

00:14:50.780 --> 00:14:52.660
<v Heather>Well, they will choose it, dude.

00:14:52.660 --> 00:14:59.660
<v Scott>So you better be careful because I already told them they keep threatening to put me in a home and I'm going, you know, you're making it sound like that's a threat.

00:14:59.660 --> 00:15:04.180
<v Scott>But honestly, you know, that's I'm getting I'm getting bath time.

00:15:04.180 --> 00:15:05.580
<v Scott>I'm getting food.

00:15:05.660 --> 00:15:09.520
<v Scott>I'm getting I'm getting your first thing is bath time.

00:15:09.520 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Scott>I mean, you know, old people like rabbits.

00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:14.660
<v Scott>So Eric and I will be having a lot of good time.

00:15:14.660 --> 00:15:16.240
<v Heather>Well, hopefully, Eric is still there.

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.960
<v Heather>If not, you'll just be the fucking old age slut.

00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.800
<v Scott>Well, I was going to say, like she's being threatened to be putting home, too.

00:15:22.800 --> 00:15:24.520
<v Scott>So, yeah, we're just going to be banging like rabbits.

00:15:24.520 --> 00:15:28.700
<v Heather>Maybe she'll be wanted a different home by that point.

00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:31.680
<v Heather>Actually, can you guys put me in the one that's like across the street?

00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:32.740
<v Heather>Like, close, but you know.

00:15:32.740 --> 00:15:34.720
<v Heather>Take me away from this old pervert.

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:37.340
<v Heather>I've had enough of Scotty.

00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:41.160
<v Heather>And just so everyone knows, we're not ending the podcast because Scott got married.

00:15:41.160 --> 00:15:43.820
<v Heather>I feel like there's some thoughts there that that's why.

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:48.620
<v Heather>We're ending the podcast because we suck as people and we aren't able to blame him.

00:15:49.660 --> 00:15:53.740
<v Scott>Oh, we already know Rob is going to be blaming the marriage.

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:56.940
<v Heather>Absolutely, but the truth is Scott and I are the problem.

00:15:57.020 --> 00:16:00.020
<v Scott>Yes, I've just gotten.

00:16:00.020 --> 00:16:02.160
<v Heather>Not here, it's us.

00:16:02.160 --> 00:16:05.320
<v Scott>Our priorities have changed a lot.

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Heather>It has.

00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:10.540
<v Heather>And I just want to thank you, a little thank you, and I know you feel the same way to Mr.

00:16:10.540 --> 00:16:11.400
<v Heather>Mark Nadeau.

00:16:11.400 --> 00:16:11.860
<v Scott>Yes.

00:16:12.520 --> 00:16:19.460
<v Heather>Who basically treated us like little baby birds and had us on the Rotten Roundtable several times.

00:16:19.640 --> 00:16:28.780
<v Heather>The Horror Cop cast in the Rotten Roundtable, the sub show or whatever it was at the time, who helped get us access to movies to begin with.

00:16:28.780 --> 00:16:35.680
<v Heather>I want to thank Christian Luciani from the Exploding Heads Movie Podcast who also gave us access to films.

00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:35.840
<v Heather>Yes.

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.980
<v Heather>Of course, Nudie.

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Scott>100% Nudie.

00:16:39.260 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Heather>But Mark Nadeau had a lot of screeners for films.

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.620
<v Heather>I don't think Scott and I would have got to see if it hadn't been for him.

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:45.860
<v Scott>Right.

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.740
<v Heather>Forever Grateful, and his life has changed, too.

00:16:49.740 --> 00:16:51.300
<v Scott>He's no longer in the show.

00:16:51.300 --> 00:16:51.800
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:56.940
<v Heather>So, you know, it also, you know, this really isn't Scott got married and we're super busy.

00:16:56.940 --> 00:16:58.420
<v Heather>It's also the selection.

00:16:58.420 --> 00:17:07.040
<v Heather>Like we haven't, we're hodcasted together for two months and we only really have 18 movies to talk about, which isn't a lot compared to what we used to do.

00:17:07.040 --> 00:17:10.040
<v Heather>This would be something that we would talk about every other week.

00:17:11.020 --> 00:17:15.120
<v Heather>So it's also, our watching habits have changed.

00:17:16.540 --> 00:17:20.860
<v Heather>And you know, not to be like, our lives have changed and we're just, it's just interests and stuff go on.

00:17:20.860 --> 00:17:23.800
<v Heather>So I definitely don't ever want this to end.

00:17:23.800 --> 00:17:26.260
<v Heather>And people think that Erica was the reason.

00:17:26.260 --> 00:17:29.240
<v Heather>It definitely was not Scott and I are the problem.

00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:30.600
<v Heather>Let's be clear here.

00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:32.800
<v Heather>It was only Scott and I.

00:17:32.800 --> 00:17:33.940
<v Scott>I mean, because I mean, look at you.

00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:38.600
<v Scott>I mean, you're volunteering like constantly now on the weekends for shelters.

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Heather>And yes, I am.

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:43.060
<v Heather>I spent a lot of time with the puppies and like my dad died.

00:17:43.060 --> 00:17:44.620
<v Heather>And we pushed through that too.

00:17:44.620 --> 00:17:47.480
<v Scott>And but still, I was going to say, yeah, you're doing stuff with your mom more.

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.020
<v Heather>And yeah, yeah.

00:17:49.020 --> 00:17:49.480
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:57.780
<v Scott>And work and life and I was going to say, and yeah, me becoming like I got busy with my like homesteading life that I've started doing.

00:17:57.780 --> 00:18:01.540
<v Scott>And also, you know, my stepdad has been dealing with dementia.

00:18:01.540 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Scott>So I want to be there and help with my mom, because my mom's going to be needing a lot of help as that goes on.

00:18:06.060 --> 00:18:09.840
<v Scott>And there's a lot of stuff like just, you know, we're getting older.

00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:11.340
<v Scott>Everybody around us is getting older.

00:18:11.340 --> 00:18:15.040
<v Scott>Life is just getting busier and just kind of happens.

00:18:15.040 --> 00:18:23.080
<v Scott>And also want to give a shout out to exploding heads because rumor has it, they are also ending the show.

00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:24.020
<v Heather>They are there.

00:18:24.020 --> 00:18:25.460
<v Heather>And that's probably because of us.

00:18:25.520 --> 00:18:26.900
<v Heather>They realized it.

00:18:26.900 --> 00:18:30.460
<v Heather>He was like, well, Friday Nightmares can't go on.

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:31.280
<v Heather>Just kidding, Dave.

00:18:31.300 --> 00:18:32.780
<v Heather>I know it's not because of us.

00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:39.800
<v Scott>No, you guys have been running for a long time, so congratulations on doing it as long as you guys have.

00:18:39.800 --> 00:18:40.720
<v Scott>That is impressive.

00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.340
<v Scott>And but yeah, there's always much love there.

00:18:43.340 --> 00:18:50.520
<v Scott>We may not bring you guys up all the time, but yeah, you are some of the kings of podcasting in our community.

00:18:50.520 --> 00:18:55.280
<v Heather>You know, and there's certain podcasts that pave the way, the horror cast, the exploding heads movie podcast.

00:18:55.280 --> 00:18:59.080
<v Heather>I never listened to it, but the one that Dave was on beforehand, A Skeleton Crew.

00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:00.580
<v Heather>Yes, Skeleton Crew.

00:19:00.580 --> 00:19:08.240
<v Heather>You know, there's certain people, you know, the horror returns that have been around for a very, very long time.

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.140
<v Heather>And welcome to Office with Open Arms.

00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:12.200
<v Scott>We also can't forget Bungies of Horror.

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:14.720
<v Heather>Yeah, it's a good podcast, so.

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.020
<v Scott>Oh, shots fired.

00:19:16.020 --> 00:19:17.840
<v Heather>I'm just kidding.

00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:25.100
<v Heather>That is honestly, the fact that Tim is up to the episodes that he is at, and his dedication, I always admire.

00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:31.320
<v Heather>I think Tim is one of the most creative, dedicated podcasters out there.

00:19:31.320 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Heather>You know, it's been a pleasure being able to be on his show.

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.180
<v Heather>It's a pleasure knowing him and Rob.

00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Heather>You know, it really, really is.

00:19:40.820 --> 00:19:42.420
<v Heather>And Luffy, right?

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:44.860
<v Heather>But it's Tim that does the work, you know?

00:19:44.860 --> 00:19:48.020
<v Heather>Like, let's, all the joking aside, let's come on, let's give him a due.

00:19:48.020 --> 00:19:52.520
<v Scott>Mushroom is the one that does the editing, and no, joking aside, it is all Tim.

00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Heather>Yeah, it is all Tim.

00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.920
<v Heather>And again, you know, we're just really humbled to be around these groups of folks.

00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Heather>And not to say that Scott and I, who knows, we might come back for a one-off or something like that.

00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.080
<v Heather>You never know, but I've preferred to-

00:20:05.080 --> 00:20:06.120
<v Scott>We may do guest spots.

00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Heather>Yeah, like, you know, you never know.

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.240
<v Heather>But like, it's just not a focus for us anymore.

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.920
<v Heather>And I hate leaving things open-ended.

00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.540
<v Heather>I hate it.

00:20:12.540 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Heather>I hate it.

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:13.380
<v Heather>I hate it.

00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:16.560
<v Heather>My other, unfortunately, podcast ended that way.

00:20:16.560 --> 00:20:21.620
<v Heather>I did plan on coming back for one more episode to say goodbye, but unfortunately, that's no longer recording.

00:20:21.620 --> 00:20:22.540
<v Heather>And that's okay.

00:20:22.540 --> 00:20:27.040
<v Heather>You know, I wasn't the one that ran that podcast, and things change.

00:20:27.040 --> 00:20:27.540
<v Scott>Exactly.

00:20:27.540 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Heather>But with Scott and I, I want to do it right.

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:31.860
<v Heather>And so does he.

00:20:31.860 --> 00:20:33.400
<v Heather>But it's interesting.

00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:34.440
<v Heather>Sorry, go ahead, Scott.

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:40.100
<v Scott>I was going to say, yeah, because we actually, you know, we have the option to continue it till we decide it's done.

00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:47.020
<v Scott>And yeah, we've made sure to like, yep, I think it'll be our award show is going to be our send-off episode as well.

00:20:47.020 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Heather>Yeah, I think so.

00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:49.420
<v Scott>That's fitting.

00:20:49.420 --> 00:20:53.220
<v Heather>Yeah, I think it will wrap up the year because there's not much else to talk about in 2026.

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:57.660
<v Heather>I don't know, 2025 has been a slice.

00:20:57.660 --> 00:21:04.580
<v Scott>Yeah, I mean, there's been some amazing movies, but with the selection is definitely not as good.

00:21:04.580 --> 00:21:06.200
<v Heather>Been colourful, we'll say.

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:07.580
<v Scott>Yes.

00:21:07.580 --> 00:21:16.060
<v Heather>So we talked about Holmes previously, which is really fitting because I don't know if you did that purposely, but do you know what the first film is that I'm going to talk about?

00:21:16.360 --> 00:21:17.640
<v Scott>I see it on the list.

00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:19.740
<v Scott>This is one I still want to check out.

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:20.720
<v Heather>So have you seen it yet?

00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:21.420
<v Heather>No, you haven't seen it.

00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:22.680
<v Heather>So you're okay.

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:27.180
<v Heather>So this is with good old Pete Davidson, and it's called The Home.

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:33.840
<v Heather>A troubled man starts working at a retirement home and realizes his residence in Caretakers harbors sinister secrets.

00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:41.720
<v Heather>As he investigates the building and its forbidden fourth floor, he starts to uncover connections to his own past and upbringing as a foster child.

00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.400
<v Heather>So I watched this movie some time ago.

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:47.420
<v Heather>Do I think it's going to end up on a best of list?

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:48.220
<v Heather>No.

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:49.760
<v Heather>Did I find it entertaining?

00:21:49.760 --> 00:21:51.860
<v Heather>Yes.

00:21:51.860 --> 00:21:53.520
<v Heather>What you see is what you get here.

00:21:53.520 --> 00:21:57.320
<v Heather>Pete Davidson is working as a Caretaker at this home.

00:21:57.320 --> 00:21:59.800
<v Heather>He's doing it kind of a, it's like a parole thing.

00:21:59.800 --> 00:22:06.760
<v Heather>He gets charged with a crime, and he needs to do this work to deal his parole.

00:22:06.760 --> 00:22:10.400
<v Heather>And the home is not, is what is happening at the home is not what it seems.

00:22:11.080 --> 00:22:18.680
<v Heather>And speaking of your wanting to have a lot of sex at homes, Scott, this would definitely be right up your alley as to what happens in this film.

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.900
<v Scott>Oh, fuck yeah.

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:22.100
<v Heather>I found that these are-

00:22:22.100 --> 00:22:27.140
<v Scott>I'm gonna mute myself real quick just because it sounds like deliveries here and the dogs are going nuts.

00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:29.040
<v Heather>No problem.

00:22:29.040 --> 00:22:34.160
<v Heather>So this here, so the third act of this is Bonkarooney's.

00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:36.660
<v Heather>I really do recommend it to folks.

00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:39.560
<v Heather>It definitely does not disappoint.

00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:45.040
<v Heather>The third act is probably the highlight, but it's a fun, easygoing film.

00:22:45.040 --> 00:22:47.060
<v Heather>It doesn't require a whole lot of thinking.

00:22:47.060 --> 00:22:49.980
<v Heather>Matt Woods gave it three and a half.

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:55.300
<v Heather>He says, it appears that I like this movie more than most, and that's rare, but I had a good time with it.

00:22:55.300 --> 00:23:08.560
<v Heather>And yeah, there's a few issues with it, but overall, if you're looking for something light and easy to watch, and a pretty good, protagonist fuck shit up at the end movie, it's a good watch for you.

00:23:08.560 --> 00:23:12.520
<v Heather>It has a 95-minute runtime, so it doesn't overstay its welcome.

00:23:12.520 --> 00:23:17.840
<v Heather>And yeah, you can find it anywhere on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon.

00:23:17.840 --> 00:23:24.760
<v Heather>I definitely think it's worth the rental if you're into horror in general, and you're looking for something different to watch.

00:23:24.760 --> 00:23:27.740
<v Heather>I would definitely recommend checking it out on VOD.

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.020
<v Scott>Awesome, yeah.

00:23:28.020 --> 00:23:28.640
<v Heather>Can you talk?

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:29.260
<v Heather>Okay.

00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:34.620
<v Scott>Yep, I was going to say, yeah, I'm just going to have to talk over the crazy animals because yes, There's nothing.

00:23:34.620 --> 00:23:35.580
<v Heather>I don't hear anything.

00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Scott>Oh, okay.

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:36.740
<v Scott>Perfect.

00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:37.580
<v Heather>Yeah, you're good.

00:23:37.580 --> 00:23:45.340
<v Scott>We are having deliveries of some things today from Amazon, and didn't expect them till later, and now they're showing up now, of course, while we're recording.

00:23:45.340 --> 00:23:49.940
<v Scott>So if there is any noise, my dogs are going nuts in the background.

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:50.840
<v Scott>Sorry about that, folks.

00:23:50.840 --> 00:23:52.380
<v Scott>Can't help that.

00:23:52.380 --> 00:24:05.580
<v Scott>But yeah, I am curious about this one because Erica and I seen the trailer for it, and I think we were planning on watching it at some point once we just things settle down, which, you know, we've gotten some movies in because things have settled down a bit here and there.

00:24:05.580 --> 00:24:07.940
<v Scott>But yeah, that's not one we haven't.

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:09.460
<v Scott>I think we forgot about it for a bit there.

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:13.560
<v Heather>So it could win gore of the year for the third act.

00:24:13.560 --> 00:24:15.220
<v Heather>Yeah, like it may not.

00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:18.560
<v Heather>It could be runner up, but it is like bonkeroonies.

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:19.360
<v Scott>Interesting.

00:24:19.360 --> 00:24:20.460
<v Scott>All right.

00:24:20.820 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Scott>Well then, yeah, I guess we can jump on to the next one, which I'm guessing you have not seen.

00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:27.300
<v Scott>All right.

00:24:27.300 --> 00:24:30.620
<v Scott>So this is, let me, there it is.

00:24:30.620 --> 00:24:31.640
<v Scott>Oh crap, where'd it go?

00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:31.940
<v Scott>I'm sorry.

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:33.260
<v Scott>I'm pulling it up on letterbox.

00:24:33.260 --> 00:24:33.860
<v Scott>All right.

00:24:33.860 --> 00:24:46.800
<v Scott>And this is Maycon Blair's remake, re-adaptation, wherever you want to call it, of the trauma classic, the Toxic Avenger of Peter Stammering.

00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:48.660
<v Scott>Starring quite a cast actually.

00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:55.640
<v Scott>Got Kevin Bacon, Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, let's see, Elijah Wood.

00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Scott>So pretty good cast for your Toxic Avenger film.

00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.260
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:25:00.260 --> 00:25:13.900
<v Scott>And yeah, the synopsis of this one is, when a downtrodden janitor, Winston Goose, is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he's transformed into a new kind of hero, the Toxic Avenger.

00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:24.820
<v Scott>Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporation orblords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community.

00:25:25.860 --> 00:25:37.060
<v Scott>So yeah, this is, I was, this has been one of those movies that's been talked about as a remake, being a remake and being worked on for God, I want to say like almost 10 years.

00:25:37.060 --> 00:25:38.320
<v Scott>Like it started off as like-

00:25:38.320 --> 00:25:39.560
<v Heather>Has it been that long?

00:25:39.560 --> 00:25:40.560
<v Scott>I think so.

00:25:41.700 --> 00:25:43.120
<v Scott>It's been for ages.

00:25:43.120 --> 00:25:51.800
<v Scott>And I believe it had like a festival run last year, and finally got to theaters this August here.

00:25:51.800 --> 00:25:55.460
<v Scott>And I was excited because I'm like, it's Toxic Avenger.

00:25:55.460 --> 00:26:11.560
<v Scott>I'm curious to see how they're going to do a super indeed gory trauma, offensive trauma film in this day and age with a high glossy, glossy sheen and a budget.

00:26:11.560 --> 00:26:18.080
<v Scott>So I was kind of curious, and well, they definitely made a higher budget trauma film.

00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:20.780
<v Scott>It felt like a trauma film.

00:26:20.780 --> 00:26:33.500
<v Scott>The offensiveness, there's some offensiveness, but it's nothing as bad as how it was back in the 80s and 90s, trauma days, because those were really highly offensive to nowadays standards.

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:42.500
<v Scott>But yeah, the comedy was definitely trauma style, but just like trauma style, a lot of the comedy is very hit or miss.

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:44.780
<v Scott>And for me, a lot of it did not hit.

00:26:44.840 --> 00:26:48.260
<v Scott>So it was kind of, eh, eh, eh, okay, whatever.

00:26:48.260 --> 00:26:52.460
<v Scott>The gore was over the top and just gooey.

00:26:52.460 --> 00:27:05.180
<v Scott>The only problem is when you're remaking a trauma film, who are the masters of low budget indie work with what you got, you do practical effects.

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:16.700
<v Scott>They did CGI for this, and the CGI just didn't look that great in spots, and just, it kind of took away from the charm that, you know, hey, this is a trauma film.

00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:22.300
<v Scott>You should do physical, practical effects, but that, and the story was decent.

00:27:22.300 --> 00:27:34.020
<v Scott>So all, like I, all in all, I think if you're a trauma fan, toxic Avenger fan, fan of Elijah Wood, fan of like Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon and all them, it's worth a watch.

00:27:34.020 --> 00:27:35.320
<v Scott>It's entertaining.

00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Scott>I, it's not going to make any, I don't think it'll make any of my lists for, for the awards, but I'm glad I watched it because it was about on par for what I was hoping.

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:48.780
<v Heather>So what you were expecting with the remake, right?

00:27:48.780 --> 00:27:51.960
<v Heather>Like you were kind of like, this is what I kind of know that I'm going to walk into.

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:52.540
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:27:52.540 --> 00:27:53.520
<v Scott>So if that makes sense.

00:27:53.520 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Heather>Yeah, yeah.

00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:55.100
<v Heather>No, that makes complete sense.

00:27:55.100 --> 00:27:57.120
<v Heather>Is it available on VOD?

00:27:57.120 --> 00:27:57.480
<v Scott>Let's see.

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:59.820
<v Scott>I think it is now.

00:27:59.820 --> 00:28:02.160
<v Scott>Let me bring up the litter box.

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:07.460
<v Scott>Yes, it is now available to watch on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon, Fandango, and YouTube.

00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:08.260
<v Heather>Nice.

00:28:08.260 --> 00:28:11.700
<v Heather>And so I guess if you like that kind of stuff, rent it?

00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:12.860
<v Scott>Yeah, absolutely.

00:28:12.860 --> 00:28:13.360
<v Heather>Okay.

00:28:13.360 --> 00:28:15.180
<v Heather>Okay.

00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:16.500
<v Heather>You saw Weapons, right?

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:18.220
<v Scott>Oh, I sure fucking did.

00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:20.140
<v Heather>All right.

00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:22.820
<v Heather>Man, and this director has a style, huh?

00:28:22.820 --> 00:28:23.860
<v Scott>He really does.

00:28:23.860 --> 00:28:24.860
<v Heather>He really...

00:28:24.860 --> 00:28:26.940
<v Heather>I'm interested to see what else he comes out with.

00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:28.960
<v Heather>He has two out of two hits so far, I think.

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:31.640
<v Heather>So we'll see what the next one is.

00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.340
<v Heather>But I feel like a lot of people have seen Weapons by now.

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:37.520
<v Heather>It did come out some time ago.

00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:46.960
<v Heather>So basically, when all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanishes on the same night at the exact same time, the community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:51.140
<v Heather>So I'm going to talk, like, I'm not going to dive into this overly deep because a lot of people have watched it.

00:28:51.140 --> 00:28:55.540
<v Heather>I don't think we need to convince people to watch them, watch it and tell people what it's about.

00:28:55.540 --> 00:28:58.920
<v Heather>But I think what I appreciated about this is the storytelling.

00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:01.580
<v Heather>I really think Sack, is it Craig again?

00:29:01.580 --> 00:29:02.480
<v Heather>Crager?

00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:03.480
<v Scott>Yes, Sack Crager.

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:05.860
<v Heather>Crager is great at layering.

00:29:05.860 --> 00:29:07.420
<v Heather>He's so good at layering.

00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:09.320
<v Heather>Like, here's the first layer.

00:29:09.320 --> 00:29:11.960
<v Heather>And the chapters that he does, like they're well done.

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:13.340
<v Scott>Following everybody around?

00:29:13.340 --> 00:29:14.300
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:29:14.300 --> 00:29:18.400
<v Heather>Like, it's just he takes the characters and he focuses on them.

00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:23.220
<v Heather>He does like, you know, a 20-minute, like, I guess you could say a chapter on it.

00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:26.400
<v Heather>And then there's something on the next character.

00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.060
<v Heather>And then there's something on the next character.

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.600
<v Heather>But then it all leads to the conclusion.

00:29:30.600 --> 00:29:31.020
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:29:31.020 --> 00:29:32.240
<v Heather>Like, it's just really, really.

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:37.820
<v Heather>And I could see if you don't like that style, this movie would really turn you off.

00:29:37.820 --> 00:29:41.500
<v Heather>But it seems as though they're doing pretty good for feedback.

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:43.300
<v Heather>Like, it has a pretty high rating.

00:29:43.300 --> 00:29:48.020
<v Heather>Most people, four stars, three stars, four stars.

00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:49.860
<v Heather>I'm out of five.

00:29:49.860 --> 00:29:51.260
<v Heather>This was a five out of five for me.

00:29:51.260 --> 00:29:55.260
<v Heather>Like, I thought that this was fucking how a horror movie should be done.

00:29:55.260 --> 00:29:56.940
<v Heather>Great storytelling, great acting.

00:29:57.700 --> 00:30:01.120
<v Heather>Didn't see it come in, like, I was surprised.

00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:01.300
<v Scott>100%.

00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:03.320
<v Scott>Right?

00:30:03.320 --> 00:30:04.040
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:30:04.040 --> 00:30:04.240
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:16.220
<v Scott>Like, I was going to say, like, the closest thing I could, for anybody that hasn't seen it, the closest way I could describe, like, the way this was filmed would almost be like a...

00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:19.180
<v Scott>If Quentin Tarantino focused on horror.

00:30:19.180 --> 00:30:21.320
<v Heather>Yeah, that's a good way to compare it to.

00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:26.580
<v Scott>I think that's the closest I can think of, because, you know, it's got that style and substance to it.

00:30:26.580 --> 00:30:33.840
<v Scott>But where it's less talky talky compared to Quentin Tarantino, this one's more horror focused.

00:30:33.840 --> 00:30:38.000
<v Scott>And yeah, man, I was invested from the very beginning.

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.660
<v Scott>Like, everybody in this was incredible.

00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:44.880
<v Scott>The story was fucking creepy.

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.800
<v Scott>And like, what's her name?

00:30:47.800 --> 00:30:49.100
<v Heather>Julie Gardner?

00:30:49.100 --> 00:30:50.480
<v Scott>No, she did amazing, though.

00:30:50.520 --> 00:30:55.460
<v Scott>But we're trying to think, starts on bringing in the movie up, because she's-

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:59.280
<v Heather>Oh, Amy Madigan played Glad's The Witch.

00:30:59.280 --> 00:31:00.240
<v Scott>Yeah, it was Amy Madigan.

00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.740
<v Scott>I recognized her from Uncle Buck way back in the day.

00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:05.460
<v Heather>You know, she was also in Antlers.

00:31:05.460 --> 00:31:06.280
<v Scott>Was she really?

00:31:06.280 --> 00:31:07.740
<v Heather>I think she was a social worker.

00:31:07.740 --> 00:31:08.300
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:31:08.300 --> 00:31:08.900
<v Scott>Oh, shit.

00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:10.220
<v Scott>I didn't realize that.

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:11.420
<v Heather>And she was in The Hunt.

00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:12.000
<v Scott>Huh?

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Heather>Yeah, yeah.

00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:13.860
<v Heather>She's been in a lot.

00:31:13.860 --> 00:31:14.820
<v Scott>Yeah, apparently so.

00:31:14.820 --> 00:31:16.260
<v Scott>But yeah, she did amazing.

00:31:16.260 --> 00:31:18.500
<v Scott>She was super fucking creepy in this.

00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:18.700
<v Heather>Great.

00:31:19.540 --> 00:31:27.340
<v Scott>And apparently, they're going to do a prequel with Gladys, which I'm curious, because that was one thing.

00:31:27.340 --> 00:31:32.580
<v Scott>Just like Sinners, they didn't give you much about the antagonist.

00:31:32.580 --> 00:31:33.280
<v Heather>Yes.

00:31:33.280 --> 00:31:36.360
<v Scott>So you didn't really know much about their motivation for this.

00:31:36.360 --> 00:31:36.700
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:37.660
<v Heather>No, I agree with you.

00:31:37.660 --> 00:31:41.640
<v Heather>So I think that's a real good opportunity to build.

00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:42.180
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:43.180
<v Heather>And I hope they do that.

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:47.860
<v Heather>Like, you know, sometimes we see prequels and sequels, and they're quite disappointing.

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:53.560
<v Heather>I will be talking about one at the end of this episode that I felt was...

00:31:53.560 --> 00:31:59.120
<v Heather>I know that a lot of people have liked it, and that's fine, but I found it boring as anything.

00:31:59.120 --> 00:32:01.700
<v Heather>But to each their own.

00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:02.840
<v Heather>So weapons though...

00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Scott>I think I know which one you're talking about.

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:05.980
<v Heather>Yeah, I think you know what I'm talking about.

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:08.780
<v Heather>Yes, this has not been a good year for sequels for me, I'll be honest.

00:32:08.780 --> 00:32:14.300
<v Heather>With the exception of Megan at the beginning of the year, which I thought like at least knew what it was and ran with it.

00:32:14.300 --> 00:32:17.140
<v Scott>Speaking of sequels, what about this next one we're about to jump into?

00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:19.260
<v Heather>Oh, I was going to say where weapons could be found.

00:32:19.260 --> 00:32:19.900
<v Heather>Should we tell them?

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:20.740
<v Heather>VOD everywhere.

00:32:20.740 --> 00:32:21.780
<v Heather>Actually, VOD everywhere.

00:32:21.780 --> 00:32:22.120
<v Heather>I don't know.

00:32:22.120 --> 00:32:23.580
<v Heather>Apple, Google, fucking non-messon.

00:32:23.580 --> 00:32:24.560
<v Heather>Find it in any of those.

00:32:24.560 --> 00:32:25.780
<v Scott>Next one.

00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:31.700
<v Heather>Yeah, you jump into this one because this is your, I feel like this is your franchise.

00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:37.480
<v Scott>It's kind of, well, it's one that I've always, I have a love-hate with, for sure.

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:42.780
<v Scott>But yeah, this one is the Yearly Shutter Release of VHS.

00:32:42.780 --> 00:32:44.080
<v Scott>VHS Halloween.

00:32:44.900 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Scott>A collection of Halloween-themed videotapes unleashes a series of twisted blood-soaked tales turning trick-or-treat into a struggle for survival.

00:32:53.440 --> 00:33:08.880
<v Scott>Now, I want to give a quick shout out to Fresh Cuts because they called this one VHS Fuck Them Kids, and I laughed my ass off so hard when I heard that because it is so fucking true with this movie.

00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:09.360
<v Heather>It is.

00:33:10.700 --> 00:33:14.780
<v Scott>But yeah, this one, man, I had a freaking blast with it.

00:33:14.780 --> 00:33:26.580
<v Scott>Like, I think there was only one segment that I wasn't into, and the rest, I was just enjoying the shit out of because it had that Halloween vibe to it.

00:33:26.580 --> 00:33:26.740
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:33.560
<v Scott>It was, there were some creepy stories, there were some silly stories, there were some just straight up entertaining stories.

00:33:33.560 --> 00:33:42.000
<v Scott>Like, it's VHS, so it's all the found footage style, but my god, I had a blast with this one.

00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.960
<v Scott>It was what I needed for right before Halloween.

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.660
<v Heather>Fun size!

00:33:46.660 --> 00:33:48.280
<v Scott>Yes, exactly.

00:33:48.280 --> 00:33:49.520
<v Scott>That one.

00:33:51.100 --> 00:33:52.280
<v Heather>I thought this was clever.

00:33:52.580 --> 00:33:56.400
<v Heather>I think the VHSs are always interesting.

00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:59.660
<v Heather>Whether they're my favorite or whatever, they're always interesting.

00:33:59.660 --> 00:34:08.940
<v Heather>And I really did appreciate the theme of this one, and kind of like how some stories felt like they bridged together, even though they weren't by the same director.

00:34:08.940 --> 00:34:10.900
<v Scott>Right.

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:12.100
<v Heather>I thought that was kind of cool.

00:34:12.100 --> 00:34:13.020
<v Heather>And I enjoyed it.

00:34:13.020 --> 00:34:13.460
<v Heather>I agree.

00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:15.180
<v Heather>I thought this was a lot of fun.

00:34:15.180 --> 00:34:21.320
<v Heather>I would have to re-watch the VHSs to get my ranking correct, but this would be up there for me.

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:22.960
<v Heather>Like this was up there for sure.

00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:30.260
<v Scott>Because yeah, I think this is number eight in the franchise now, and so I'd say it's least in the top four for me.

00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:31.500
<v Heather>I would say the same.

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Scott>Oh, I'm going to take a guess, but yeah, like you, I'd have to re-watch them.

00:34:35.680 --> 00:34:39.980
<v Heather>I thought it was fun again, like, I don't know, it's the best anthology that we've got this year.

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:45.400
<v Heather>Now, that doesn't say much, but it's at least VHS delivers a fucking anthology.

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:46.980
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:47.340
<v Scott>Exactly.

00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:49.080
<v Heather>At least you get a fucking anthology out of it.

00:34:49.080 --> 00:34:57.380
<v Scott>I was going to say, because I think every year they have kind of won the award because ever since 2020, there just hasn't been that many anthologies.

00:34:57.380 --> 00:34:59.900
<v Heather>No, and we're just kind of like, well, this is what we got.

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:01.740
<v Heather>So we can just go with it.

00:35:01.740 --> 00:35:08.220
<v Heather>So if anyone hasn't watched it yet, I know we're past Halloween, but for Scott and I, spooky season all fucking year long.

00:35:08.220 --> 00:35:10.340
<v Heather>Damn right.

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Heather>You can follow it on, of course, Shudder, of course.

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:16.360
<v Scott>Good old Shuddy.

00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:17.260
<v Scott>Not Children's Shudder.

00:35:17.260 --> 00:35:18.940
<v Heather>No, I forgot about Children's Shudder.

00:35:18.940 --> 00:35:21.480
<v Heather>That just shows Watership down all the time.

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:22.700
<v Heather>I'll repeat.

00:35:24.560 --> 00:35:25.860
<v Heather>And AMC, of course.

00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:30.300
<v Heather>All the AMC plus ones, I don't know, there's a bunch of AMC plus shit that's out there.

00:35:30.300 --> 00:35:32.680
<v Heather>And of course, Apple TV.

00:35:32.680 --> 00:35:38.120
<v Heather>I would say rent it if you're VHS anthology fan, or I don't know, if you have Shudder, fucking watch it on Shudder.

00:35:38.120 --> 00:35:39.460
<v Heather>You're paying.

00:35:39.460 --> 00:35:42.320
<v Heather>Shudder is the most reasonable streaming service still.

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:46.420
<v Heather>Like I pay for it and I share it with Scotty and it's like 90 bucks a year.

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:48.420
<v Heather>It's really not that much money.

00:35:48.420 --> 00:35:50.800
<v Scott>Yeah, which I greatly appreciate that you share.

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:52.660
<v Heather>Yeah, but it's not expensive.

00:35:52.700 --> 00:35:53.400
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:54.540
<v Heather>Like compare it to some of them.

00:35:54.540 --> 00:35:57.100
<v Heather>Like Netflix, go suck a dick, Netflix.

00:35:57.100 --> 00:35:57.700
<v Heather>Like honestly.

00:35:57.700 --> 00:36:00.900
<v Scott>This is why we don't pay for Netflix.

00:36:00.900 --> 00:36:03.100
<v Heather>But anyway, watch VHS, everybody.

00:36:03.100 --> 00:36:03.780
<v Heather>It's fun.

00:36:03.780 --> 00:36:04.580
<v Heather>It's worth it.

00:36:04.580 --> 00:36:06.200
<v Heather>Go check it out if you haven't already.

00:36:06.200 --> 00:36:07.040
<v Scott>Yeah, 100 percent.

00:36:07.040 --> 00:36:12.460
<v Scott>Yeah, this is one that I had more fun with and more fun than last year's.

00:36:12.460 --> 00:36:15.200
<v Heather>I liked last year's, but yeah, I would agree.

00:36:15.200 --> 00:36:18.100
<v Heather>I think this one overall, I think had a better vibe to it.

00:36:18.100 --> 00:36:18.520
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:36:18.520 --> 00:36:19.820
<v Heather>Right.

00:36:19.820 --> 00:36:20.860
<v Heather>Did you watch this one?

00:36:20.860 --> 00:36:21.360
<v Scott>I did not.

00:36:21.900 --> 00:36:22.420
<v Heather>Okay.

00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:27.940
<v Heather>So if the substance was too heavy for folks, I introduce you to Shell.

00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:29.460
<v Scott>Oh boy.

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:34.400
<v Heather>It's like when I was like, what was that movie that we saw about the one with the woman in the yard?

00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Heather>I'm like, so if the bag of Babadook was too heavy for you, I introduce you to the woman in the yard.

00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:42.000
<v Scott>That fucking movie, I already forgot about it.

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:43.060
<v Scott>God damn.

00:36:43.060 --> 00:36:44.500
<v Heather>Well, Shell was good.

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:45.120
<v Heather>Don't get me wrong.

00:36:45.120 --> 00:36:48.660
<v Heather>This is an entertaining film, but it's the substance only light, just to be clear.

00:36:48.660 --> 00:36:48.800
<v Heather>Right.

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:52.300
<v Heather>Be the best version of yourself.

00:36:52.660 --> 00:36:55.560
<v Scott>Oh, that is totally the substance.

00:36:55.560 --> 00:37:07.700
<v Heather>Desperate to reclaim her career, the once beloved actress Samantha Lake is drawn into a glamorous world of wellness mogul, Zoe Shannon, only to uncover a monstrous truth behind its flawless surface.

00:37:07.700 --> 00:37:10.140
<v Heather>So we have some pretty good actresses in this.

00:37:10.140 --> 00:37:13.440
<v Heather>We have Elizabeth Moth and Kate Hudson in the two roles.

00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:16.280
<v Heather>And I'm going to be honest with you, that's why this movie was good.

00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:18.060
<v Heather>You would cast anybody else in these roles.

00:37:18.120 --> 00:37:21.620
<v Heather>This probably movie would have been a very cheap version of The Substance.

00:37:21.620 --> 00:37:27.880
<v Heather>So the biggest difference is this is one person in an organization instead of kind of like a faceless group of folks.

00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:28.300
<v Scott>Gotcha.

00:37:28.300 --> 00:37:30.160
<v Heather>Like in The Substance, right?

00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:36.180
<v Heather>So basically, this woman is an aging actress, and Hollywood is not kind to aging women.

00:37:36.180 --> 00:37:38.820
<v Heather>You know, we're all fucking aware of this.

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:42.720
<v Heather>Women's bodies in general are usually not favored.

00:37:42.720 --> 00:37:43.720
<v Heather>Fuck the patriarchy.

00:37:43.720 --> 00:37:43.880
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:37:44.240 --> 00:37:48.080
<v Heather>But anyway, so this movie just capitalizes on that.

00:37:48.080 --> 00:37:55.540
<v Heather>And it's basically a cat and mouse game between Elizabeth Moss and Kate Hudson's character.

00:37:55.540 --> 00:37:57.400
<v Heather>And it's really entertaining.

00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.840
<v Heather>Like this is 100 minutes, and what you see is what you get here.

00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.640
<v Heather>Woman pushed down by industry.

00:38:02.640 --> 00:38:05.900
<v Heather>Woman finds new age wellness.

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:09.620
<v Heather>Woman engages in new age wellness.

00:38:09.620 --> 00:38:13.020
<v Heather>Sacrifices have to be made in order to keep wellness.

00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:15.140
<v Heather>Woman doesn't want to do it.

00:38:15.140 --> 00:38:17.240
<v Heather>Power struggle between good and bad.

00:38:17.240 --> 00:38:18.140
<v Heather>Right?

00:38:18.140 --> 00:38:20.800
<v Heather>So it's what you see is what you get here.

00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:21.660
<v Heather>What you see is what you get.

00:38:21.660 --> 00:38:23.100
<v Heather>Do I think you and Erica should watch it?

00:38:23.100 --> 00:38:23.620
<v Heather>Absolutely.

00:38:23.620 --> 00:38:24.820
<v Heather>It's entertaining.

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:29.480
<v Heather>Like you want to throw on something easy to watch that's funny in parts, that's, you know, I don't know.

00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:30.720
<v Heather>It's Elizabeth Moss.

00:38:30.720 --> 00:38:33.460
<v Heather>And I think Elizabeth Moss is pretty good at almost everything.

00:38:33.460 --> 00:38:36.140
<v Heather>Like she carries her character really well.

00:38:36.140 --> 00:38:40.560
<v Heather>I think Erica will appreciate it from a woman's perspective.

00:38:40.560 --> 00:38:41.580
<v Heather>I think you guys should watch it.

00:38:41.580 --> 00:38:42.060
<v Heather>Absolutely.

00:38:42.100 --> 00:38:44.580
<v Heather>Do I think everyone should watch it?

00:38:44.580 --> 00:38:44.940
<v Heather>I don't know.

00:38:44.940 --> 00:38:51.200
<v Heather>This is pretty much like focused on ladies, I think, with, you know, obviously some body gore and some body horror.

00:38:51.200 --> 00:38:53.480
<v Heather>There's some good body horror in it.

00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:58.200
<v Heather>But if if you the substance, you liked it because it was very like artistic.

00:38:58.200 --> 00:39:01.620
<v Heather>This is like the less artistic version of that.

00:39:01.620 --> 00:39:05.500
<v Heather>OK, so if you don't mind, like I don't want to say a step down because I don't mean it like that.

00:39:05.500 --> 00:39:08.480
<v Heather>But like more for the general public viewing, you'll like it.

00:39:08.820 --> 00:39:09.700
<v Heather>Nice.

00:39:09.700 --> 00:39:14.720
<v Scott>OK, because I've kept scrolling past it, not knowing what it was.

00:39:14.720 --> 00:39:16.980
<v Scott>The cover just didn't grab my attention.

00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:18.560
<v Heather>Yeah, I would watch it.

00:39:18.560 --> 00:39:19.880
<v Heather>I think you guys would have fun with it.

00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:20.960
<v Heather>And it's only 100 minutes.

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:21.480
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:23.600
<v Heather>You're looking at like an hour and 40 minutes.

00:39:23.600 --> 00:39:27.620
<v Heather>You're not talking about something that's two hours of your life, right?

00:39:27.620 --> 00:39:32.760
<v Heather>So yeah, the ending is kind of abrupt, but whatever.

00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:33.880
<v Scott>Sometimes that happens.

00:39:33.980 --> 00:39:34.740
<v Heather>Good shit, right?

00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:41.320
<v Heather>So it's available on Google, Paramount, Plex, YouTube, Amazon for rent.

00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:42.260
<v Heather>I would say rent it.

00:39:42.260 --> 00:39:47.880
<v Heather>If what I've said, you know, if you like the substance and you wouldn't mind kind of like a watered down version of that, check this out.

00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.200
<v Heather>And if you like Elizabeth Moss and Kate Hudson, they play off each other fucking beautifully.

00:39:52.200 --> 00:39:55.240
<v Heather>You know, so two great female leads, check it out.

00:39:55.240 --> 00:39:56.000
<v Scott>All right, perfect.

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:57.740
<v Scott>Yeah, I will definitely have checked that out.

00:39:57.740 --> 00:39:59.860
<v Scott>And now this one, have you watched this one yet?

00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:00.920
<v Heather>I have not, no.

00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:01.660
<v Scott>You need to.

00:40:01.720 --> 00:40:02.380
<v Heather>Oh, yeah.

00:40:02.380 --> 00:40:04.020
<v Scott>Okay.

00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:06.620
<v Scott>You absolutely need to watch this.

00:40:06.620 --> 00:40:07.060
<v Heather>Okay.

00:40:07.060 --> 00:40:18.460
<v Scott>So the one I'm about to talk about is The Long Walk, which was based off Richard Bachman, aka Stephen King's book from the 70s.

00:40:18.460 --> 00:40:23.520
<v Scott>And the tagline is, the task is simple, walk or die.

00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:29.220
<v Scott>In a dystopian alternate America ruled by a totalitarian regime.

00:40:29.220 --> 00:40:32.260
<v Heather>Whoa, but isn't it happening right now?

00:40:32.560 --> 00:40:35.920
<v Scott>It might be just a little bit of that sprinkled in here and there.

00:40:36.140 --> 00:40:37.180
<v Heather>You never know.

00:40:37.180 --> 00:40:39.060
<v Heather>You never know.

00:40:39.060 --> 00:40:49.300
<v Scott>Fifty teenage boys take part in a deadly annual walking contest, forced to maintain a minimum pace or be executed until only one survivor remains.

00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:56.380
<v Scott>Now, the story or the rules to this is you have to walk at three miles per hour nonstop.

00:40:56.380 --> 00:40:56.880
<v Scott>You stop.

00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:57.900
<v Heather>Jesus Christ.

00:40:57.900 --> 00:40:59.760
<v Scott>You get a warning.

00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:01.900
<v Scott>You don't get back up and start walking.

00:41:01.900 --> 00:41:02.880
<v Scott>You get another warning.

00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:05.560
<v Scott>Once you get that third warning, you're executed.

00:41:05.560 --> 00:41:06.500
<v Heather>Oh, my God.

00:41:06.500 --> 00:41:08.640
<v Scott>And the game goes on.

00:41:08.640 --> 00:41:10.060
<v Scott>No stopping for sleep.

00:41:10.060 --> 00:41:11.860
<v Scott>No stopping to go to the bathroom.

00:41:11.860 --> 00:41:13.340
<v Heather>It's like when we used to podcast.

00:41:13.340 --> 00:41:15.940
<v Scott>Exactly.

00:41:15.940 --> 00:41:17.700
<v Scott>Like there is literally no stopping.

00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:24.000
<v Scott>You got to continue to the point where some of these people were falling asleep while walking and had to be woken up to keep walking.

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:26.420
<v Scott>And it gets intense.

00:41:26.420 --> 00:42:07.020
<v Scott>And this is where you could definitely tell this is a Stephen King story because the characters in this, my God, like you feel for almost every one of these characters, like whether it's feeling like emotions of empathy or sympathy or anger, like he gives you these characters in like just such great depth in the way this was directed was handled with such care, like to the point where this may win my tearjerker slash relationship awards because there were some just really strong relationship building from characters in this.

00:42:07.080 --> 00:42:14.740
<v Scott>And like it's it is intense, like it's it's more definitely I think this is definitely a Heather film.

00:42:14.740 --> 00:42:15.980
<v Heather>OK, I'm here for it.

00:42:15.980 --> 00:42:17.860
<v Heather>Where can you find it?

00:42:17.860 --> 00:42:25.980
<v Scott>This one is available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon, Plex and YouTube.

00:42:25.980 --> 00:42:29.640
<v Scott>And this is one that is definitely in my top 10.

00:42:29.640 --> 00:42:31.520
<v Scott>Like I fucking love this.

00:42:31.520 --> 00:42:34.200
<v Scott>This is another one of those five out of five movies.

00:42:34.200 --> 00:42:34.680
<v Heather>All right.

00:42:34.680 --> 00:42:35.400
<v Heather>I'm going to check it out.

00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:36.200
<v Heather>You've sold me, baby.

00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:37.520
<v Heather>I'm on to it.

00:42:37.520 --> 00:42:42.260
<v Scott>I think you would really dig this one, especially because I think you would get invested with the characters.

00:42:42.260 --> 00:42:43.360
<v Heather>And I like walking.

00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:47.080
<v Scott>So that's definitely because I'm sitting here going, Hey, I walk all the time at work now.

00:42:47.080 --> 00:42:49.080
<v Scott>And I'm going, Oh, oh, this is brutal.

00:42:49.080 --> 00:42:50.080
<v Scott>Oh, yeah.

00:42:50.080 --> 00:42:51.500
<v Scott>Oh, I couldn't do that.

00:42:51.500 --> 00:42:52.880
<v Heather>No, no.

00:42:53.060 --> 00:42:53.980
<v Heather>Sounds interesting.

00:42:53.980 --> 00:42:55.120
<v Heather>I'll definitely check it out.

00:42:55.120 --> 00:42:58.120
<v Heather>Thanks for sharing a good film before we move into this next one.

00:42:58.120 --> 00:42:58.860
<v Scott>Oh, absolutely.

00:42:58.980 --> 00:43:00.940
<v Scott>I'm going to be with the next one is before we jump to it.

00:43:00.940 --> 00:43:01.740
<v Scott>I'm curious now.

00:43:02.120 --> 00:43:04.120
<v Heather>Oh, the strangers chapters.

00:43:04.120 --> 00:43:05.000
<v Scott>OK.

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:08.540
<v Scott>Yeah, I haven't watched this yet for a reason.

00:43:08.540 --> 00:43:09.440
<v Heather>Oh, man.

00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Heather>Fuck, yeah.

00:43:10.420 --> 00:43:10.800
<v Heather>Fuck, yeah.

00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:11.520
<v Heather>Who created it?

00:43:11.520 --> 00:43:12.960
<v Heather>Who's the director behind this shit?

00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:13.480
<v Heather>Hold on.

00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:15.160
<v Heather>I want to give a special shout out.

00:43:15.160 --> 00:43:16.240
<v Heather>Ray Harlan.

00:43:16.240 --> 00:43:17.600
<v Heather>Hey, you know what?

00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:19.480
<v Heather>Whatever, man, you did your best with this shit.

00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:21.040
<v Heather>Like, let's just say you did your best.

00:43:21.040 --> 00:43:26.260
<v Scott>So, you know, Nightmare on Elm Street, part four, Independence Day, that guy, you know.

00:43:26.260 --> 00:43:27.940
<v Heather>Oh, hey, is it really that guy?

00:43:27.940 --> 00:43:28.500
<v Scott>I think so.

00:43:28.500 --> 00:43:28.900
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:43:28.900 --> 00:43:29.640
<v Heather>Hey, you know what?

00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:30.520
<v Heather>Fuck yeah.

00:43:30.520 --> 00:43:31.360
<v Heather>You know what?

00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:35.260
<v Heather>Fuck yeah, because I'll be honest, it's better than the first one.

00:43:35.260 --> 00:43:35.920
<v Heather>All right.

00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:36.720
<v Heather>It's better.

00:43:36.720 --> 00:43:37.400
<v Scott>That's a low bar.

00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:38.840
<v Heather>Not the Liv Tyler one.

00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:41.280
<v Heather>Just like, you know what I mean.

00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:43.960
<v Heather>Last last time we talked about the Stranger one, we didn't even talk about it.

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:44.300
<v Heather>We didn't.

00:43:44.300 --> 00:43:46.140
<v Heather>We weren't going to talk about it, but we did anyway.

00:43:46.140 --> 00:43:53.460
<v Heather>OK, so when the Strangers learned that one of their victims, Maya, is still alive, they return to finish what they've started.

00:43:53.460 --> 00:43:58.200
<v Heather>So this is basically them stalking Maya for an hour and let's see how long this is movie.

00:43:58.200 --> 00:44:00.380
<v Heather>An hour and 38 minutes.

00:44:00.380 --> 00:44:00.800
<v Scott>Oh boy.

00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:02.680
<v Heather>They've been just stalking this this chick.

00:44:02.680 --> 00:44:04.780
<v Heather>OK.

00:44:04.780 --> 00:44:08.440
<v Heather>Rob Humphries gave it a half a star.

00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:11.240
<v Heather>I wouldn't say it was that bad.

00:44:11.240 --> 00:44:12.680
<v Heather>Matt gave it two and a half.

00:44:12.680 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Heather>He said, I think people are being way too harsh on this film and its predecessor.

00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:18.120
<v Heather>I agree.

00:44:18.120 --> 00:44:20.640
<v Heather>The first one doesn't necessarily horrible.

00:44:20.640 --> 00:44:23.060
<v Heather>It just it just I didn't get the point of the remake.

00:44:23.100 --> 00:44:24.000
<v Heather>That was more of anything.

00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:24.860
<v Scott>It was pointless.

00:44:24.860 --> 00:44:25.600
<v Scott>Literally pointless.

00:44:25.600 --> 00:44:26.880
<v Scott>It's the same thing that we already.

00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:27.440
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:28.480
<v Heather>Like, and it just I don't know.

00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:32.240
<v Heather>It's hard to remake The Strangers, not because I think, oh, it's so sacred.

00:44:32.240 --> 00:44:33.840
<v Heather>How dare they remake The Strangers?

00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:35.820
<v Heather>It's just like the gigs up.

00:44:35.860 --> 00:44:39.380
<v Heather>Like, it's hard to kind of go back and be like, well, who are these people?

00:44:39.380 --> 00:44:41.820
<v Heather>And right.

00:44:41.820 --> 00:44:44.380
<v Scott>I mean, it's just a creepy home invasion movie.

00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:45.460
<v Heather>Yeah, right.

00:44:45.460 --> 00:44:53.520
<v Heather>But I will say this one did try to build on the lore of who these folks are and how they became.

00:44:53.520 --> 00:44:54.860
<v Heather>That I appreciated.

00:44:54.860 --> 00:45:00.840
<v Heather>So there is a backstory to The Strangers, and I did enjoy that piece.

00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:04.960
<v Heather>I did enjoy how clearly the town's in on it, right?

00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:06.260
<v Heather>Like, which is not a shock.

00:45:06.260 --> 00:45:06.880
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.040
<v Heather>Like, it's kind of not like they're supporting it, but they're kind of turning the blind eye.

00:45:12.020 --> 00:45:13.900
<v Heather>It has some cool scenes.

00:45:13.900 --> 00:45:18.000
<v Heather>Like, it's not, you know, it's unbelievable what she survives, obviously.

00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:20.920
<v Heather>Like, no human being would survive what she survives.

00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:24.100
<v Heather>But I don't know, it's not the first movie that's done that.

00:45:24.100 --> 00:45:25.420
<v Scott>Right.

00:45:25.420 --> 00:45:29.600
<v Heather>If I'm going to shit on that, then I guess I better shit on all the other films that did that.

00:45:29.600 --> 00:45:33.680
<v Heather>It's just, it's basically her being stalked for an hour and 30 minutes.

00:45:33.680 --> 00:45:37.160
<v Heather>So if you watch this movie, know you're going to watch this person be stalked.

00:45:37.160 --> 00:45:38.160
<v Heather>But I watched it.

00:45:38.160 --> 00:45:39.100
<v Heather>I finished it.

00:45:40.140 --> 00:45:44.460
<v Heather>Um, I was interested to see what was going to happen.

00:45:44.460 --> 00:45:45.880
<v Heather>So I think that says that.

00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:48.620
<v Heather>Do I think this is a movie you got to run out and watch?

00:45:48.620 --> 00:45:50.280
<v Heather>Not necessarily.

00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:57.700
<v Heather>But I think that it does provide somewhat of a backstory to why they're doing what they're doing.

00:45:57.700 --> 00:46:03.460
<v Heather>Whether it's a good backstory or not is up for debate, but it provides some kind of backstory.

00:46:03.460 --> 00:46:06.980
<v Heather>So if you want to watch a chick be stalked for an hour and 38 minutes, this movie is for you.

00:46:06.980 --> 00:46:08.700
<v Heather>If not, don't bother.

00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:11.620
<v Heather>And if you're going to pick it up, like don't show this to Erica.

00:46:11.620 --> 00:46:13.660
<v Scott>Like this is something to throw on at work.

00:46:13.660 --> 00:46:14.320
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:17.800
<v Heather>Like she's going to be like, this is completely like, it's completely out there unrealistic.

00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:24.840
<v Heather>But if you're bored at work one day, or you need something just playing in the background, like it's don't worry, you can look away and look back and you're not going to miss some crazy plot development.

00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:25.740
<v Heather>Like you know what I mean?

00:46:25.740 --> 00:46:27.500
<v Heather>Like it's not kind of what I figured.

00:46:27.500 --> 00:46:28.340
<v Heather>Yeah, it's not heavy.

00:46:28.340 --> 00:46:37.020
<v Heather>So if some people want to watch it because they want to finish the series, it is available on Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon Video, Cosmo Go to rent.

00:46:37.300 --> 00:46:45.180
<v Heather>I would say rent this if like you enjoyed the first one and you want to see what happens, like you want to continue the series, then yeah, continue the series.

00:46:45.180 --> 00:46:50.740
<v Heather>But don't walk in thinking it's going to be like the original sequel to the first Strangers.

00:46:50.740 --> 00:46:55.080
<v Heather>OK, like it kind of steals from the ending concept of that one in the hospital.

00:46:55.080 --> 00:46:55.340
<v Scott>Right.

00:46:55.340 --> 00:46:56.700
<v Heather>But it doesn't.

00:46:56.700 --> 00:46:58.460
<v Heather>But it's not as good in my opinion.

00:46:58.460 --> 00:46:59.640
<v Scott>OK, good to know.

00:46:59.640 --> 00:46:59.840
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:03.120
<v Scott>So this will be one that I could throw on in the background at some point, because I'm trying to get.

00:47:03.160 --> 00:47:04.900
<v Heather>Erica, don't share it to Erica.

00:47:04.900 --> 00:47:09.380
<v Scott>I almost want to say, I almost want to just see her reaction.

00:47:09.380 --> 00:47:11.400
<v Heather>If you did tell her that I said it wasn't a good idea.

00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:12.600
<v Heather>OK, don't pull me down.

00:47:12.600 --> 00:47:13.080
<v Scott>I'll blame you.

00:47:13.080 --> 00:47:13.740
<v Scott>I'll blame you.

00:47:13.740 --> 00:47:15.100
<v Heather>Oh, you fucker.

00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:18.100
<v Scott>All right.

00:47:18.100 --> 00:47:20.220
<v Scott>Now, is this the sequel you were talking about?

00:47:20.220 --> 00:47:22.680
<v Heather>No, but this was OK.

00:47:22.680 --> 00:47:23.540
<v Heather>Horrible.

00:47:24.940 --> 00:47:25.740
<v Scott>Oh, my God.

00:47:25.740 --> 00:47:27.720
<v Heather>What a fucking boring movie.

00:47:27.720 --> 00:47:28.400
<v Scott>All right.

00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.900
<v Scott>So we have different opinions on this one.

00:47:31.540 --> 00:47:32.460
<v Heather>We do.

00:47:33.200 --> 00:47:40.140
<v Scott>But this is the next one in the franchise Hell House LLC.

00:47:40.140 --> 00:47:41.280
<v Heather>And hopefully the last.

00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:42.960
<v Scott>No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:44.280
<v Scott>We will get there.

00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:47.760
<v Scott>Hell House LLC lineage.

00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:53.580
<v Scott>This is a 108 minute runtime with a tagline of blood bond rooted in evil.

00:47:53.580 --> 00:48:00.180
<v Scott>After a near death experience, Vanessa Shepherd faces nightmares in Abaddon as mysterious deaths occur around her.

00:48:00.780 --> 00:48:07.220
<v Scott>She discovers her connection to the Abaddon Hotel, Carmichael Manor, and the decades of unexplained murders.

00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:15.180
<v Scott>One thing right off the bat that I wish they wouldn't have went this route, but they got rid of found footage.

00:48:15.180 --> 00:48:24.340
<v Scott>They went to just normal movie style, and I wish they would have kind of stuck with it because, you know, I know how Hell House is one of my top tier franchises.

00:48:24.340 --> 00:48:28.340
<v Scott>I love every movie that I had came before this one.

00:48:28.580 --> 00:48:33.540
<v Scott>This one is definitely, I will say, a step down from the others.

00:48:33.540 --> 00:48:43.920
<v Scott>However, I did still enjoy it because it did build on more of the lore, and kind of built more on the lore of Abaddon and the Carmichael Manor.

00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:52.960
<v Scott>Like, just everything around that, like the buildup of that, I found intriguing, because I watched the Hell House movies annually during the Halloween season.

00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:54.380
<v Scott>So I love the lore.

00:48:54.380 --> 00:48:55.420
<v Scott>I love everything about that.

00:48:56.100 --> 00:48:59.380
<v Scott>And yeah, like this one definitely is a bit more of a slow burn.

00:48:59.380 --> 00:49:12.900
<v Scott>They brought back Vanessa, who was from part three, Lake of Fire, and because she, you know, somehow survived in part three, being protected the way the, I forget the character's name, but was kind of an angel that protected her.

00:49:12.900 --> 00:49:20.740
<v Scott>And this one, yeah, just kind of, it is, I will give it a slow go, slow burn that doesn't have a huge payoff.

00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:29.780
<v Scott>This almost feels like, I would say, the almost middle of a trilogy type story, where it's just kind of bridging the gaps.

00:49:29.780 --> 00:49:37.420
<v Scott>And I think that's kind of what this is doing, is bridging the gaps between Origins and the Hell House trilogy before it.

00:49:37.420 --> 00:49:41.380
<v Scott>So it is kind of like not as hyper focused.

00:49:41.380 --> 00:49:48.040
<v Scott>It is more just bridging that gap for what's to come, because I have a feeling this is going to be a new trilogy.

00:49:48.360 --> 00:49:51.300
<v Scott>I don't know for a fact, but I have a feeling it is.

00:49:51.300 --> 00:49:53.060
<v Scott>That's just kind of how I felt with it.

00:49:53.060 --> 00:49:54.780
<v Scott>But like I said, I enjoyed it.

00:49:54.780 --> 00:50:00.180
<v Scott>If you are a fan of the Hell House series, I at least recommend it because it does build up on the lore.

00:50:00.180 --> 00:50:06.340
<v Scott>Erica also really enjoys the series, and she enjoyed this one as well because it builds on the lore some more.

00:50:06.340 --> 00:50:09.480
<v Scott>But Heather, your opinions.

00:50:09.480 --> 00:50:11.180
<v Heather>So I'm not the biggest Hell House fan.

00:50:11.180 --> 00:50:14.360
<v Heather>Like I will say, I think the movies are okay.

00:50:15.060 --> 00:50:18.480
<v Heather>I think I like the first one and the second one the best.

00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:20.120
<v Heather>And then it started to lose me.

00:50:20.120 --> 00:50:21.800
<v Heather>So I just don't...

00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Heather>All I can say is the mannequins in this get around a lot, and Rant and Stant show up wherever they seem to be able to show up, without any logic of where ghosty ghosts can be, if this is supposed to be a ghost or a demon.

00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:35.240
<v Heather>I guess it's like...

00:50:35.240 --> 00:50:36.860
<v Heather>has a limited travel.

00:50:36.860 --> 00:50:39.600
<v Scott>It's more like kind of a demonic presence.

00:50:39.640 --> 00:50:41.300
<v Heather>Which can go anywhere.

00:50:41.300 --> 00:50:46.840
<v Heather>Which I don't get how you and Erika are okay with the logic, because I remember us arguing about the logic of that before.

00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:51.000
<v Heather>So that surprises me, because that's usually something both of you would have a beef with.

00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:51.520
<v Scott>Well, usually...

00:50:51.520 --> 00:50:53.520
<v Heather>Like, how does a demon cross a country?

00:50:53.520 --> 00:50:54.780
<v Heather>Like...

00:50:54.780 --> 00:50:55.920
<v Scott>Oh, it doesn't cross a country.

00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:56.780
<v Scott>They're all still heaven.

00:50:56.780 --> 00:50:57.740
<v Heather>Yeah, the husband.

00:50:57.740 --> 00:50:58.740
<v Heather>The ex-husband.

00:50:58.740 --> 00:51:01.100
<v Heather>Suddenly the fucking clown things in his office?

00:51:01.100 --> 00:51:02.080
<v Scott>Oh yeah.

00:51:02.080 --> 00:51:04.600
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:51:04.600 --> 00:51:07.540
<v Scott>Well, like I said, this is definitely not the best of the series.

00:51:07.540 --> 00:51:09.180
<v Heather>You're like, Heather, it wasn't even found footage.

00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:11.580
<v Heather>I already said that at the beginning.

00:51:11.580 --> 00:51:16.440
<v Heather>I think for people that are like Scott and Erika, that really like this series, I think it's great.

00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:19.440
<v Heather>I think it's a love letter to those true fans.

00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:23.300
<v Heather>I think for mediocre or fair weather friends like myself, it's boring.

00:51:23.300 --> 00:51:24.440
<v Heather>I think it's like anything.

00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:37.140
<v Heather>If you're really into a series, and there's certain series that I'm really into, or certain films I'm really into that if they have a sequel, even if the sequel is not the most popular, I really like it, right?

00:51:37.240 --> 00:51:39.300
<v Heather>Because it's a love letter to me.

00:51:39.300 --> 00:51:44.980
<v Heather>And I think that the best way to sum up this film is it's a love letter to true Hell House fans.

00:51:44.980 --> 00:51:50.080
<v Heather>This movie will separate whether you are a mediocre average fan, or whether you really, really love the series.

00:51:50.080 --> 00:51:50.560
<v Scott>Right.

00:51:50.560 --> 00:51:52.060
<v Heather>That's the best way to sum it up.

00:51:52.060 --> 00:51:53.520
<v Heather>Right?

00:51:53.520 --> 00:51:56.220
<v Heather>And for me, it was not a good movie.

00:51:56.220 --> 00:52:01.480
<v Heather>But again, I liked the first two Hell Houses before I began to lose.

00:52:01.720 --> 00:52:07.460
<v Heather>Like, I like the house that October built more than I like this series around.

00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:08.700
<v Scott>Oh, okay.

00:52:08.700 --> 00:52:15.280
<v Heather>Like, if this was, like, Switch It, and they were doing a lore on that, I would probably like it more.

00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:15.940
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

00:52:15.940 --> 00:52:17.800
<v Heather>Because I like the series more.

00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:18.680
<v Scott>No, but that's fair.

00:52:18.680 --> 00:52:19.540
<v Scott>Yeah, because I...

00:52:19.540 --> 00:52:25.960
<v Scott>And for, you know, the franchise lover here of the series, this is only a six and a half, five to ten for me.

00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:26.960
<v Scott>It's not like...

00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:28.260
<v Heather>Yeah, not your top.

00:52:28.260 --> 00:52:35.260
<v Scott>Yeah, but it's still, I'd say, it's probably the worst of the series, but, you know, it's still, like I say, it added that lore that I needed.

00:52:35.260 --> 00:52:35.680
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:52:35.680 --> 00:52:36.180
<v Heather>And you know what?

00:52:36.180 --> 00:52:37.000
<v Heather>It's on shutter.

00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:41.080
<v Heather>Like, if you've watched the Hell House films and you like it, watch it and decide for yourself.

00:52:41.080 --> 00:52:45.140
<v Heather>Like, do I think this had more love put into it than Strangers Chapter 2?

00:52:45.140 --> 00:52:46.500
<v Heather>Yes, I do.

00:52:46.500 --> 00:52:46.780
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:52:46.780 --> 00:52:52.780
<v Heather>I do think Strangers Chapter 2, though, is more entertaining because at least the girl's almost being attempted to be killed for an hour and 38 minutes.

00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:55.680
<v Heather>So that kept me more alert.

00:52:55.680 --> 00:52:59.500
<v Heather>But again, this is all going to come down to how much you like this series.

00:52:59.500 --> 00:52:59.940
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:52:59.940 --> 00:53:01.740
<v Heather>Right.

00:53:01.740 --> 00:53:02.940
<v Heather>Night of the Reaper.

00:53:02.940 --> 00:53:04.340
<v Heather>Have you watched this one yet?

00:53:04.340 --> 00:53:04.640
<v Scott>Nope.

00:53:04.640 --> 00:53:07.060
<v Scott>This is one that I wasn't sure.

00:53:07.060 --> 00:53:11.300
<v Scott>Like, the trailer looked interesting, but also boring at the same time.

00:53:11.300 --> 00:53:11.940
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:53:11.940 --> 00:53:14.140
<v Heather>So it's actually pretty good.

00:53:14.580 --> 00:53:24.540
<v Heather>It's based on there's babysitter murders, and this young lady's sister is murdered, and she takes a babysitting job.

00:53:24.540 --> 00:53:25.420
<v Heather>She comes back to town.

00:53:25.420 --> 00:53:26.320
<v Heather>She's been away in college.

00:53:26.380 --> 00:53:27.060
<v Heather>Her sister's killed.

00:53:27.060 --> 00:53:35.720
<v Heather>She comes back five years later, and she's reconnecting with friends, and she takes a babysitting job that night, and things progress from there.

00:53:35.720 --> 00:53:36.260
<v Scott>Okay.

00:53:36.260 --> 00:53:37.520
<v Scott>Did we say the name of this movie?

00:53:37.520 --> 00:53:38.580
<v Heather>Night of the Reaper.

00:53:38.580 --> 00:53:39.140
<v Scott>Okay.

00:53:39.140 --> 00:53:40.520
<v Scott>I don't remember if we did or not.

00:53:40.520 --> 00:53:40.940
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:53:40.940 --> 00:53:41.580
<v Heather>I said it.

00:53:41.580 --> 00:53:42.480
<v Heather>Yeah, it doesn't matter.

00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:43.640
<v Heather>Good to say it again.

00:53:43.640 --> 00:53:44.340
<v Scott>I have dementia.

00:53:44.340 --> 00:53:44.720
<v Scott>Sorry.

00:53:44.720 --> 00:53:45.900
<v Scott>No.

00:53:45.900 --> 00:53:47.140
<v Heather>Not yet.

00:53:48.240 --> 00:53:51.440
<v Heather>When you can re-watch horror movies and be like, oh my god, it's the first time I've seen The Nightmare on Elm Street.

00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:52.800
<v Scott>Exactly.

00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:54.700
<v Heather>My god, Friday the 13th is so good.

00:53:54.700 --> 00:53:57.180
<v Scott>I'll be messaging you, Heather, you won't believe this.

00:53:57.180 --> 00:54:00.260
<v Scott>We should do a podcast called Friday Nightmares.

00:54:00.260 --> 00:54:02.760
<v Heather>We should talk about 80s horror.

00:54:02.780 --> 00:54:04.740
<v Heather>No one is doing that.

00:54:04.740 --> 00:54:08.240
<v Heather>No.

00:54:08.240 --> 00:54:10.280
<v Heather>But yeah, this is entertaining.

00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:12.940
<v Heather>Like this is very much like, it's funny.

00:54:12.940 --> 00:54:17.040
<v Heather>There's one review here and it's like, I bet you never saw this twist coming, did you?

00:54:17.040 --> 00:54:18.360
<v Heather>Winky, winky.

00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:22.420
<v Heather>Like it is kind of obvious, but it's a good watch.

00:54:22.420 --> 00:54:24.080
<v Heather>It's a great Halloween watch.

00:54:24.080 --> 00:54:26.700
<v Heather>I really did enjoy it for the Halloween time.

00:54:26.700 --> 00:54:28.440
<v Heather>I thought the actors in it were good.

00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:31.400
<v Heather>Yeah, the ending is a little unbelievable.

00:54:31.400 --> 00:54:36.380
<v Heather>It's kind of true crime-y, but I do think it's worth it.

00:54:36.380 --> 00:54:39.600
<v Heather>I would recommend it to you and Erika, and plus it's only 93 minutes.

00:54:39.600 --> 00:54:40.860
<v Scott>Oh, it's only that long?

00:54:40.860 --> 00:54:41.340
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:54:41.340 --> 00:54:42.460
<v Scott>Oh, hey, it's okay.

00:54:42.460 --> 00:54:44.560
<v Heather>Yeah, you're in and out just like we like it, Scott.

00:54:44.780 --> 00:54:44.900
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:54:44.900 --> 00:54:47.780
<v Heather>No commitment in and out.

00:54:47.780 --> 00:54:56.720
<v Heather>But yeah, for anyone who likes that whole babysitter being stocked, mystery, whodunit, killer film, this is a good movie for you.

00:54:56.720 --> 00:55:01.760
<v Heather>And it's available on the Shutter, AMC, Google Play.

00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:02.940
<v Heather>I would say rent it.

00:55:02.940 --> 00:55:04.580
<v Heather>It's a good horror movie of the year.

00:55:04.580 --> 00:55:06.040
<v Heather>There's mixed reviews here.

00:55:06.040 --> 00:55:08.400
<v Heather>I don't think a lot of folks have watched it yet.

00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:10.580
<v Heather>Rob gave it a one, but Rob doesn't like anything.

00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:13.600
<v Heather>So he likes Jurassic World Rebirth.

00:55:13.600 --> 00:55:19.940
<v Scott>So, you know, I was like, we already discussed this a lot, like in our chat group, but Rob never chooses joy.

00:55:19.940 --> 00:55:20.320
<v Heather>No.

00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:21.140
<v Heather>And like, I don't know.

00:55:21.140 --> 00:55:22.680
<v Heather>I don't know why he gave this one star.

00:55:22.680 --> 00:55:26.020
<v Heather>I don't think it's a one star film, but hey, whatever.

00:55:26.020 --> 00:55:27.420
<v Scott>He'll tell us his opinion.

00:55:27.420 --> 00:55:28.140
<v Scott>We know.

00:55:28.140 --> 00:55:30.420
<v Heather>I don't get why he thinks this is one star.

00:55:30.420 --> 00:55:33.120
<v Heather>Like, I think a three, two and a half or some folks I get.

00:55:33.120 --> 00:55:34.180
<v Heather>For me, it's a three star.

00:55:34.180 --> 00:55:35.220
<v Heather>I was entertained by it.

00:55:35.220 --> 00:55:35.940
<v Heather>It was fine.

00:55:35.940 --> 00:55:37.560
<v Heather>Like it was it was easy to watch.

00:55:37.660 --> 00:55:41.400
<v Heather>I do think you should watch it because I think it's entertaining.

00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:43.400
<v Heather>Not everything has to be a top ten.

00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:43.780
<v Scott>Right.

00:55:43.780 --> 00:55:48.300
<v Scott>At this point, I will take anything to watch just because, you know, it's getting closer to the end of the year.

00:55:48.300 --> 00:55:50.840
<v Scott>And I'd like to kind of reach a hundred films.

00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:57.280
<v Scott>Yeah, like I'm because I'm at I want to say I think I am at like 72 now.

00:55:57.280 --> 00:55:59.460
<v Heather>Oh, you're not going to reach a hundred films.

00:55:59.460 --> 00:56:00.440
<v Scott>Hey, you never know.

00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:03.300
<v Scott>I might get the bug to watch as many movies as possible.

00:56:04.060 --> 00:56:07.400
<v Heather>I'm at 97 and even I'm like, Oh, will I?

00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:07.720
<v Heather>Right.

00:56:07.720 --> 00:56:11.160
<v Scott>Like, so there's no way that's fair.

00:56:11.160 --> 00:56:12.260
<v Scott>That's fair.

00:56:12.260 --> 00:56:13.520
<v Heather>Not this year, my friend.

00:56:13.520 --> 00:56:14.060
<v Heather>Not this year.

00:56:14.060 --> 00:56:16.860
<v Heather>That's why we're ending because this is why you get.

00:56:16.860 --> 00:56:18.880
<v Scott>Yeah, you're not wrong.

00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:20.760
<v Heather>You don't have the time anymore.

00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:22.160
<v Heather>But this one was entertaining.

00:56:22.240 --> 00:56:23.260
<v Heather>Did you like this one?

00:56:23.260 --> 00:56:23.760
<v Heather>You watched it, right?

00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:25.260
<v Scott>Yeah, this one was.

00:56:25.260 --> 00:56:25.640
<v Heather>It's silly.

00:56:25.640 --> 00:56:30.340
<v Scott>This one is exactly what you expect when you watch the trailer.

00:56:30.340 --> 00:56:34.340
<v Scott>So this one is called Coyotes and it's a 91-minute runtime.

00:56:34.340 --> 00:56:38.660
<v Scott>So, you know, keeping with the trend of nice, short, and sweet.

00:56:38.660 --> 00:56:41.440
<v Scott>The tagline is eat the rich.

00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:42.540
<v Scott>Love it.

00:56:42.540 --> 00:56:50.640
<v Scott>Trapped in their Hollywood Hills home, a family fights for survival when caught between a raging wildfire and a pack of savage coyotes.

00:56:51.620 --> 00:56:56.360
<v Scott>And yep, this has Justin Long, and who was the...

00:56:56.360 --> 00:57:05.080
<v Scott>Britney Allen is in it, who you probably recognize from It Stains the Stands Red, and the lesbian movie We're Out in the Woods, and they're the one...

00:57:05.080 --> 00:57:06.280
<v Heather>Oh yeah!

00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:08.380
<v Heather>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.

00:57:08.380 --> 00:57:10.160
<v Heather>I can't remember that one either, but that's a good one.

00:57:10.160 --> 00:57:11.640
<v Scott>What keeps you alive or something like that.

00:57:11.640 --> 00:57:13.060
<v Heather>What keeps you alive, yeah.

00:57:13.100 --> 00:57:16.140
<v Scott>And then, Kate Bosworth, our Bosworth ends in this.

00:57:16.140 --> 00:57:18.780
<v Scott>And yeah, this is just silly.

00:57:18.780 --> 00:57:27.560
<v Scott>CGI, CGI fest, but it's got some cute CGI coyotes that kill people and make it...

00:57:27.560 --> 00:57:30.220
<v Scott>There's nothing deep about this.

00:57:30.220 --> 00:57:33.400
<v Scott>This is just fun animal attacks movies.

00:57:33.560 --> 00:57:39.560
<v Heather>Yeah, with like an environmental like, hey, we overtook all the coyotes' land, so of course, they're coming to fuck us up.

00:57:39.600 --> 00:57:41.480
<v Scott>Yeah, and also like the coyote...

00:57:41.480 --> 00:57:45.400
<v Scott>Well, I won't explain, spoil the ending, but yeah.

00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:51.340
<v Heather>Yeah, like it's basically like also commenting on the California wildfires.

00:57:51.340 --> 00:57:56.020
<v Heather>So I will say for anyone in California, this may be a little close to home.

00:57:56.040 --> 00:57:57.020
<v Scott>Good point, yeah.

00:57:57.020 --> 00:58:05.240
<v Heather>Yeah, like, I don't know, like those, you know, we've had some wildfires that I know my friend had her place destroyed out in Alberta.

00:58:05.240 --> 00:58:07.320
<v Heather>So it can be traumatic for folks.

00:58:07.720 --> 00:58:15.600
<v Heather>So, for sure, you know, just the only thing that I give here as like, just so people know, it does comment on the California wildfires, right?

00:58:15.600 --> 00:58:16.360
<v Heather>So, right.

00:58:16.360 --> 00:58:19.920
<v Heather>But it's a pretty, I think Scott put it up perfectly.

00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:23.480
<v Heather>This is a paint by numbers, fun creature feature.

00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:24.380
<v Scott>Yeah, right.

00:58:24.380 --> 00:58:29.020
<v Scott>Remember, we used to do those when Nature runs a muck movie.

00:58:29.020 --> 00:58:30.660
<v Scott>Yeah, that we had way back in the day.

00:58:30.660 --> 00:58:32.440
<v Heather>And yeah, this would be in there.

00:58:32.440 --> 00:58:33.500
<v Scott>Yeah, this is more of that.

00:58:33.500 --> 00:58:35.880
<v Scott>It has the environmentalist aspect to it.

00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:38.120
<v Scott>And yeah, just creatures attacking.

00:58:38.120 --> 00:58:39.720
<v Scott>And it's all coyotes.

00:58:39.720 --> 00:58:40.540
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:58:40.540 --> 00:58:45.040
<v Heather>And I don't know, if you like Kate Bothworth and Justin Long, you know, it's decent.

00:58:45.040 --> 00:58:47.640
<v Heather>If they're not your cup of tea, don't watch this movie.

00:58:47.640 --> 00:58:48.020
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:58:48.020 --> 00:58:53.400
<v Heather>Like if either one of them you find annoying, just skip over it, because there's not enough of a plot to save it otherwise.

00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:54.040
<v Heather>Right.

00:58:54.040 --> 00:58:55.280
<v Scott>That's a good point.

00:58:55.280 --> 00:58:56.580
<v Heather>Right.

00:58:56.580 --> 00:59:00.760
<v Heather>But it is available in all the streaming services, Google, Amazon, Apple.

00:59:01.100 --> 00:59:05.140
<v Heather>If you like creature features and you don't mind Justin Long, Kate Bothworth, then check it out.

00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:06.360
<v Scott>Yep, I agree.

00:59:06.360 --> 00:59:10.280
<v Scott>And crap, I actually looked away from it for where it can be found.

00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:12.260
<v Heather>Oh, I just said Amazon, Google, and Apple.

00:59:12.260 --> 00:59:12.780
<v Heather>It's there.

00:59:12.780 --> 00:59:15.740
<v Heather>It's on all the major VOD services.

00:59:15.740 --> 00:59:20.640
<v Scott>Sorry, I must not have heard that, because I was going to the next, clicking on the next movie to bring that up.

00:59:20.640 --> 00:59:23.860
<v Heather>You were too excited to get to the next film.

00:59:23.860 --> 00:59:25.280
<v Scott>Another sequel.

00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:26.040
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:59:26.040 --> 00:59:30.140
<v Heather>Which actually, for the love of fucking Christ, wasn't that bad.

00:59:30.200 --> 00:59:32.040
<v Scott>No.

00:59:32.040 --> 00:59:34.560
<v Heather>Which says something, because this is a low budget film.

00:59:34.560 --> 00:59:35.840
<v Heather>I saw The OG.

00:59:35.940 --> 00:59:37.080
<v Heather>Did you watch The OG?

00:59:37.080 --> 00:59:39.620
<v Scott>Yep, I watched The OG and I watched the short film.

00:59:39.620 --> 00:59:42.700
<v Heather>Like, we're not talking about big money maker films here.

00:59:42.700 --> 00:59:43.260
<v Scott>No.

00:59:43.260 --> 00:59:46.020
<v Scott>But the other movie we're talking about here is The Gesture 2.

00:59:46.020 --> 00:59:46.420
<v Heather>Yeah.

00:59:46.420 --> 00:59:52.420
<v Heather>Anyway, I'll let you lead it in, because I watched the first one a couple years ago, or last year, whenever it came out.

00:59:52.420 --> 00:59:54.160
<v Heather>But I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

00:59:54.160 --> 00:59:54.960
<v Scott>Yeah.

00:59:54.960 --> 01:00:00.300
<v Scott>So the tagline to this is, you can't cheat death twice.

01:00:00.300 --> 01:00:04.680
<v Scott>It has an 87-minute runtime, so keep it nice and short still.

01:00:04.680 --> 01:00:18.400
<v Scott>When teen magician Max crosses paths with the sinister Gesture on Halloween night, she must outsmart a supernatural killer whose magic is all too real and whose tricks always end up in blood.

01:00:18.460 --> 01:00:33.020
<v Scott>So yeah, this is just if you have seen the Gesture from, like I want to say, like just a couple of years ago, it is basically another version of a silent mime type killer a la Art the Clown.

01:00:33.020 --> 01:00:39.900
<v Scott>You could definitely tell the person that came up with this idea definitely got inspiration from art.

01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:41.100
<v Scott>Absolutely.

01:00:41.100 --> 01:00:42.740
<v Scott>It's not a bad thing.

01:00:42.740 --> 01:00:48.540
<v Scott>And the gesture is quite creepy and actually is more straight up supernatural.

01:00:48.540 --> 01:00:50.360
<v Scott>He has powers.

01:00:50.360 --> 01:01:01.680
<v Scott>His powers are really not explained on his extent of what he can do, but he can do all sorts of shit and comes with some very cool kills.

01:01:01.680 --> 01:01:17.600
<v Scott>This sequel, I actually think, I think ended up doing the first movie more justice now because it gives more lore to why the jester does what he is doing and kind of builds on that, which makes the first movie make even more sense.

01:01:17.600 --> 01:01:26.800
<v Scott>And then add in the teen magician Max, who was played by Caitlin Trentham.

01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:32.740
<v Scott>She was great, like a great little side character to oppose the jester.

01:01:32.780 --> 01:01:35.040
<v Heather>Yeah, but someone that you could get behind.

01:01:35.040 --> 01:01:41.240
<v Heather>Like you wanted her to be successful, and I believe this is her first film, or it's the first one she's credited for.

01:01:41.240 --> 01:01:42.120
<v Heather>She did a great job.

01:01:42.120 --> 01:01:46.200
<v Scott>Yeah, I thought she did wonderful, like playing the opposite of the jester in this.

01:01:46.200 --> 01:01:52.740
<v Scott>And yeah, like I just found this one to be just a lot of fun, some really good kills.

01:01:52.740 --> 01:01:54.660
<v Scott>Yeah, just a good story in general.

01:01:54.660 --> 01:01:56.140
<v Heather>Yeah, I agree.

01:01:56.140 --> 01:02:00.360
<v Heather>And I think, again, we've talked about this over the years, but this is low budget done right.

01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:05.140
<v Heather>Yeah, like this isn't low budget to the point of like some of the other one, one that I will talk about.

01:02:05.140 --> 01:02:14.800
<v Heather>I did watch one very low budget movie that I actually thought was, you know, people got together and were like, I want to make a movie, what it would actually look like and they did a good job of it.

01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:17.800
<v Heather>This is a little higher than that.

01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:19.020
<v Heather>But I thought it was great.

01:02:19.020 --> 01:02:20.860
<v Heather>I thought it flowed, flowed well.

01:02:20.860 --> 01:02:21.880
<v Heather>It was 87 minutes.

01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:24.800
<v Heather>It didn't overstay its welcome.

01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:27.520
<v Heather>I thought the practical effects were fabulous.

01:02:27.580 --> 01:02:28.780
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:02:28.780 --> 01:02:31.060
<v Heather>Yeah, like I think this is a great little film.

01:02:31.060 --> 01:02:34.820
<v Heather>You know, it's not going to be for everybody, but I think it was really, really well done.

01:02:34.820 --> 01:02:35.040
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:02:35.040 --> 01:02:42.120
<v Scott>I was like, yeah, this one might get an honorable mention from me in the sequel category when we do that for the awards.

01:02:42.120 --> 01:02:42.640
<v Heather>I agree.

01:02:42.640 --> 01:02:46.100
<v Heather>I think it's one of the, honestly, it's the best sequel this year that's come out for me.

01:02:46.100 --> 01:02:48.380
<v Heather>Like I think this is the best one.

01:02:48.380 --> 01:02:49.000
<v Scott>And that is fair.

01:02:49.740 --> 01:02:50.220
<v Heather>Right.

01:02:50.220 --> 01:02:54.100
<v Heather>So it is available on, do you have it up still?

01:02:54.100 --> 01:02:54.560
<v Scott>Ah, shit.

01:02:54.560 --> 01:02:55.240
<v Scott>No, I backed out.

01:02:55.420 --> 01:02:55.860
<v Heather>That's okay.

01:02:55.860 --> 01:02:57.520
<v Heather>I'll go back into it quickly.

01:02:57.520 --> 01:03:03.720
<v Heather>It is available on Apple TV, YouTube, Amazon, Fangango.

01:03:03.720 --> 01:03:05.900
<v Heather>I don't know why this isn't available on Tubi.

01:03:05.900 --> 01:03:06.980
<v Heather>It's a shame.

01:03:07.080 --> 01:03:13.920
<v Scott>The first one is, but I'll say the first one's on Tubi, so maybe this one's just trying to make money first, then go to Tubi.

01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:14.680
<v Heather>So that's probably it.

01:03:14.680 --> 01:03:15.980
<v Heather>So watch the first one on Tubi.

01:03:15.980 --> 01:03:18.660
<v Heather>You do need to watch the first one to watch this one and get it.

01:03:18.660 --> 01:03:19.900
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:03:19.900 --> 01:03:22.860
<v Heather>So watch the first one on Tubi, and then if you like it, I would say rent this one.

01:03:22.860 --> 01:03:23.340
<v Heather>It's worth it.

01:03:23.680 --> 01:03:24.160
<v Scott>Absolutely.

01:03:24.160 --> 01:03:24.560
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:03:24.560 --> 01:03:26.020
<v Heather>All right.

01:03:26.020 --> 01:03:34.720
<v Heather>So the next one is from the producer of Jordan Peele, not directed by Jordan Peele.

01:03:34.720 --> 01:03:39.400
<v Scott>But very clear distinction there, just so you don't get confused.

01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:43.860
<v Heather>But absolutely, is it connected to the Peele universe?

01:03:43.860 --> 01:03:45.180
<v Heather>Him.

01:03:45.180 --> 01:03:58.940
<v Heather>After suffering a potentially career-ending brain trauma, Cameron Cade receives a lifeline when his hero and legendary eight-time championship quarterback, because Tom and Brady got seven, so they did eight for this guy.

01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:07.260
<v Heather>And cultural megastar Isaiah White offers to train Cam at Isaiah's Isolated Compound.

01:04:07.260 --> 01:04:11.680
<v Heather>Another isolation film with a cult.

01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:17.840
<v Heather>And he shares his celebrity influencer with that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife.

01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:24.280
<v Heather>But as Cameron training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma begins to curdle into something darker.

01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:26.080
<v Heather>Marlon Waynes is in this.

01:04:26.080 --> 01:04:35.640
<v Heather>And I feel like because this didn't get the push and the love it deserved, I don't think he'll get the credit he should get for playing such a fucking fabulous antagonist.

01:04:37.080 --> 01:04:40.420
<v Scott>I was curious about about this movie because I knew he was the antagonist.

01:04:40.500 --> 01:04:43.740
<v Scott>I'm like, I want to see how he does as an antagonist.

01:04:43.740 --> 01:04:45.020
<v Heather>He was fucking great.

01:04:45.020 --> 01:04:49.220
<v Heather>He was someone who you could really fucking hate.

01:04:49.220 --> 01:04:51.860
<v Heather>Like he was a real piece of shit, right?

01:04:51.860 --> 01:04:59.500
<v Heather>And I think that if you watch football, and I think that's the trouble with this film, is it's a horror film.

01:04:59.500 --> 01:05:05.880
<v Heather>And in my opinion, those who are really, really into football, aren't always really, really into horror.

01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:07.060
<v Scott>I kind of agree.

01:05:07.120 --> 01:05:07.760
<v Heather>Right?

01:05:07.760 --> 01:05:14.960
<v Heather>Now, I happened to watch football enough because I watch Canadian football, and I've watched the NFL, and I've dated guys who like football.

01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:15.320
<v Scott>Right.

01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:17.480
<v Heather>And so I'm very familiar.

01:05:17.480 --> 01:05:21.920
<v Heather>So I got a lot of it, and a lot of it was fucking spot on with the foot.

01:05:21.920 --> 01:05:26.020
<v Heather>Like it had something to say about the industry that wasn't wrong.

01:05:26.020 --> 01:05:26.340
<v Scott>Okay.

01:05:26.340 --> 01:05:39.840
<v Heather>I think it would have gone over the head of fans that didn't, like I think you would get it, Scott, because I think living in Michigan, I think you know that like, and your steps on being involved in the marching band, how football is like a cult.

01:05:39.840 --> 01:05:40.560
<v Scott>Oh, 100 percent.

01:05:40.560 --> 01:05:40.760
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:41.020
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:05:41.020 --> 01:05:41.340
<v Heather>Right.

01:05:41.340 --> 01:05:43.620
<v Heather>And it's pushed through no matter what.

01:05:43.620 --> 01:05:44.040
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:05:44.040 --> 01:05:44.680
<v Scott>Right.

01:05:45.660 --> 01:05:47.200
<v Heather>You sacrifice everything.

01:05:47.200 --> 01:05:48.300
<v Heather>Right.

01:05:48.300 --> 01:05:51.400
<v Scott>So yeah, we could get into that.

01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:51.840
<v Heather>Right.

01:05:52.240 --> 01:05:59.820
<v Heather>So I think you would, but I think the average horror fan, if they were living in like a place where they didn't really know much about football, they'd be like, what the fuck is going on here?

01:06:00.300 --> 01:06:03.200
<v Heather>And I don't think an NFL fan is going to watch this film.

01:06:03.200 --> 01:06:04.740
<v Scott>That's fair.

01:06:04.740 --> 01:06:07.920
<v Scott>I know a few in our community that would, but not many.

01:06:07.920 --> 01:06:08.520
<v Heather>Right.

01:06:08.520 --> 01:06:11.660
<v Heather>So I think that's where it's missing its mark.

01:06:11.660 --> 01:06:14.260
<v Heather>And I think that's why it didn't get any real attention.

01:06:14.260 --> 01:06:16.700
<v Heather>But this is a fucking solid film.

01:06:16.700 --> 01:06:18.980
<v Heather>It is very, very well done.

01:06:18.980 --> 01:06:24.200
<v Heather>Yes, Ra gave it a star and a half because he doesn't know how football works.

01:06:24.200 --> 01:06:28.060
<v Heather>He's like, I didn't even know there was football in America.

01:06:28.060 --> 01:06:29.160
<v Heather>Tim's like, isn't that soccer?

01:06:32.300 --> 01:06:41.300
<v Heather>So it's, I think that if you really like football and you understand the background of it, this, and you like social political horror, this is for you.

01:06:41.300 --> 01:06:42.000
<v Scott>All right.

01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:43.360
<v Heather>It is very niche.

01:06:43.360 --> 01:06:44.100
<v Heather>I'm going to be honest.

01:06:44.100 --> 01:06:45.620
<v Heather>This is a niche horror film.

01:06:45.620 --> 01:06:47.200
<v Heather>I showed it to George who likes football.

01:06:47.200 --> 01:06:48.060
<v Heather>He fucking loved it.

01:06:48.060 --> 01:06:50.400
<v Heather>He said it was one of the best films he had seen in years.

01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:51.140
<v Scott>Really?

01:06:51.140 --> 01:06:54.500
<v Heather>And now he follows, he watches Sunday football, like he's really into it.

01:06:54.500 --> 01:06:55.660
<v Heather>So I think, and he likes horror.

01:06:56.120 --> 01:07:04.440
<v Heather>Not to the extent and extent that you and I do, but he appreciated it, I think because he lives in both camps, but that's the kind of person that you got to show this to.

01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:05.060
<v Scott>Okay.

01:07:05.260 --> 01:07:07.140
<v Scott>That's impressive to hear that from George.

01:07:07.140 --> 01:07:08.320
<v Heather>Yeah, he really liked it.

01:07:08.320 --> 01:07:10.340
<v Heather>He thought it was one of the better movies.

01:07:10.340 --> 01:07:11.240
<v Heather>Nice.

01:07:11.240 --> 01:07:11.640
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:07:11.640 --> 01:07:14.940
<v Heather>So 95-minute runtime, it doesn't overstay its welcome.

01:07:14.940 --> 01:07:19.280
<v Heather>I do think for you, you should watch it, Scott, 100 percent.

01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:21.900
<v Heather>But for those out there, it may depend.

01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:28.980
<v Scott>I was like, this is one that I think I would have to watch by myself, because Erika had zero interest in this one, which I don't blame her.

01:07:28.980 --> 01:07:30.740
<v Heather>I don't blame her, but I think you would enjoy it.

01:07:30.740 --> 01:07:32.020
<v Heather>I would say watch it by the end of the year.

01:07:32.020 --> 01:07:34.120
<v Heather>I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

01:07:34.120 --> 01:07:38.960
<v Heather>It is available on all the VODs, Apple, Google, Amazon.

01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:46.760
<v Heather>Again, only if you're really into football and horror and political socialness of the football industry, would I recommend watching it.

01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:47.100
<v Scott>Okay.

01:07:47.100 --> 01:07:48.580
<v Scott>That makes total sense.

01:07:48.640 --> 01:07:53.020
<v Scott>So yeah, I will definitely add this one to the list to be watched for sure.

01:07:53.020 --> 01:07:59.000
<v Scott>Now, this one, this one almost, if you're an animal lover, you need to fucking watch this movie.

01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:02.100
<v Scott>Just be prepared to be very emotional.

01:08:02.100 --> 01:08:04.680
<v Scott>But this movie is called Good Boy.

01:08:04.680 --> 01:08:08.320
<v Heather>It is a most anticipated horror film of the year.

01:08:08.580 --> 01:08:09.180
<v Heather>I think.

01:08:09.180 --> 01:08:15.960
<v Heather>I have never seen a film, an indie film, talked as much about as this film.

01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:17.580
<v Scott>I completely agree.

01:08:17.580 --> 01:08:20.860
<v Scott>And speaking of indie, indie is a good boy.

01:08:20.860 --> 01:08:22.120
<v Heather>He is a good boy.

01:08:22.120 --> 01:08:23.480
<v Heather>He's a good boy.

01:08:23.480 --> 01:08:28.120
<v Scott>But yeah, this is only a short and sweet 73 minute runtime tagline.

01:08:28.200 --> 01:08:30.060
<v Scott>Trust his instincts.

01:08:30.060 --> 01:08:38.540
<v Scott>A loyal dog moves to a rural family home with his owner, Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows.

01:08:38.540 --> 01:08:45.580
<v Scott>As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves the most.

01:08:45.580 --> 01:08:52.560
<v Scott>Now, this is what is being called this category, experimental horror.

01:08:52.600 --> 01:08:58.280
<v Scott>And the movies that are under this umbrella are Skin of Meringue.

01:08:58.280 --> 01:08:58.680
<v Scott>What was it?

01:08:59.940 --> 01:09:02.620
<v Heather>Oh, yeah, the one that was like the out whatever it was.

01:09:02.620 --> 01:09:03.800
<v Heather>I know what you're talking about.

01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:06.320
<v Heather>Outlands, something or whatever it was.

01:09:06.320 --> 01:09:06.900
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:09:06.900 --> 01:09:09.180
<v Scott>And In a Violent Nature.

01:09:09.180 --> 01:09:13.240
<v Scott>Movies like that where it's like they're taking a risk with doing something different.

01:09:13.240 --> 01:09:25.040
<v Scott>And in this one, you are literally seeing this through the eyes, like not through the eyes, but like following it through the perspective of Indy the dog.

01:09:25.040 --> 01:09:29.840
<v Scott>You do get story based on Indy hearing his owner talk.

01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:34.920
<v Scott>And so you get kind of what's going on much better than like skin and a rink or anything like that.

01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:35.420
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:09:35.420 --> 01:09:36.320
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:09:36.320 --> 01:09:43.440
<v Scott>And this one is definitely very tense, like especially if you are a dog lover or an animal lover in general.

01:09:43.440 --> 01:09:49.500
<v Scott>It is very tense and on edge because you are just worried about Indy the entire time.

01:09:51.100 --> 01:09:56.820
<v Scott>And it does get you in the feels like quite a few times throughout.

01:09:56.820 --> 01:09:59.840
<v Scott>I thought this story was really, really well done.

01:09:59.840 --> 01:10:16.820
<v Scott>It had a very important message that you probably would not think of, but when you find out what the message is you're going, oh, that is, it really gets you emotional to the point where I actually was kind of crying a little bit.

01:10:16.820 --> 01:10:20.240
<v Scott>But that's where I have to say, I loved this movie.

01:10:20.240 --> 01:10:25.000
<v Scott>I thought it was amazing, but I have a feeling I will not be able to watch it again.

01:10:25.720 --> 01:10:27.160
<v Heather>That is fair.

01:10:27.160 --> 01:10:30.120
<v Heather>To me, this is experimental horror done right.

01:10:30.120 --> 01:10:39.640
<v Heather>Thank you to this director who had the fucking common sense that, A, you kept it to 73 minutes, yep, as it's a dog.

01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:46.520
<v Heather>B, you had people talking in it around the dog, so you could at least follow around what was happening.

01:10:49.040 --> 01:10:50.640
<v Heather>I have nothing but praise for this film.

01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:51.620
<v Heather>Nothing but praise.

01:10:51.620 --> 01:10:55.880
<v Heather>This isn't about, to me, whether it was worth the hype.

01:10:55.880 --> 01:10:57.240
<v Heather>It was done right.

01:10:58.940 --> 01:10:59.220
<v Heather>Yes.

01:10:59.220 --> 01:11:00.900
<v Scott>To me, that's even more important.

01:11:00.900 --> 01:11:02.760
<v Heather>Yes.

01:11:02.760 --> 01:11:05.040
<v Heather>I felt like the plot made sense.

01:11:05.540 --> 01:11:10.740
<v Heather>I got, I think that you do have to be a dog lover to get into this film.

01:11:10.740 --> 01:11:13.620
<v Heather>I do think if you're like mediocre, you may not.

01:11:13.620 --> 01:11:18.880
<v Scott>Yeah, I think you'll still get it, and it'll still pull out the heartstrings, but probably not nearly as much.

01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:20.580
<v Heather>Right.

01:11:20.580 --> 01:11:23.360
<v Heather>And I don't know, I just had nothing but praise for it.

01:11:23.360 --> 01:11:25.460
<v Heather>I thought that it was extremely well done.

01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:28.120
<v Heather>It will be in my top 10 of the year.

01:11:28.120 --> 01:11:30.880
<v Heather>I joked at one time, I'm like, we don't need to watch anything else.

01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:32.320
<v Heather>This is my number one film of the year.

01:11:32.320 --> 01:11:34.240
<v Heather>And I'm not sure, I'm not sure.

01:11:34.240 --> 01:11:35.300
<v Heather>It may be.

01:11:35.300 --> 01:11:36.200
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:11:36.200 --> 01:11:40.060
<v Heather>I really felt that the delivery of it was smart.

01:11:40.060 --> 01:11:45.080
<v Heather>And, you know, the meaning behind it, and people can pick it apart all they want.

01:11:45.080 --> 01:11:54.140
<v Heather>But this is how you make an experiential film that's entertaining, that's easy to follow, and is artistic without being so over the top that you don't.

01:11:54.440 --> 01:11:55.340
<v Scott>Nope.

01:11:55.340 --> 01:11:57.840
<v Scott>Um, something just happened, folks.

01:11:57.840 --> 01:12:01.420
<v Scott>I think it's still recording on my end, but I just lost Heather.

01:12:01.420 --> 01:12:04.140
<v Scott>Give me one second while we try to figure this out.

01:12:04.140 --> 01:12:09.440
<v Scott>Well, all right, the news, the update is, she, her laptop died.

01:12:09.440 --> 01:12:12.180
<v Scott>So y'all are just stuck with me for now.

01:12:12.180 --> 01:12:13.480
<v Scott>And you know what?

01:12:13.480 --> 01:12:16.060
<v Scott>You just kind of put up with it, because I don't know what to do.

01:12:16.240 --> 01:12:17.840
<v Scott>I'm awkward by myself.

01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:24.040
<v Scott>You know, maybe just kind of touching my nipples a little bit, just waiting, because, you know, that's what you do when you just by yourself.

01:12:24.040 --> 01:12:25.460
<v Scott>You just touch your nipples.

01:12:25.460 --> 01:12:27.040
<v Scott>And you know, that's what you just do.

01:12:27.040 --> 01:12:28.940
<v Scott>You just keep on talking about it.

01:12:28.940 --> 01:12:32.680
<v Scott>And now she's telling me I need to talk about the film.

01:12:32.680 --> 01:12:37.240
<v Scott>Oh, so ignore, ignore the nipple comment for right now, folks.

01:12:37.240 --> 01:12:40.280
<v Scott>Let me just get back to the talking about Good Boy.

01:12:40.280 --> 01:12:57.900
<v Scott>But yeah, you know, about this film is, yeah, I think we kind of set it all with the way that, yeah, if you are an animal lover, especially a dog lover, you will definitely get more out of this film than someone that, yeah, is mediocre.

01:12:57.900 --> 01:13:12.780
<v Scott>Because yeah, it's with a dog owner, you are, you know that these animals have a bond with you and, you know, look up to you for who you are and, you know, you're their protector, you're part of their pack.

01:13:12.780 --> 01:13:15.720
<v Scott>So it is worth watching for that.

01:13:15.940 --> 01:13:20.580
<v Scott>I, like Heather said, this may be her number one film.

01:13:20.580 --> 01:13:26.140
<v Scott>This won't be my number one film because of the reason that I probably won't be able to watch it again.

01:13:26.140 --> 01:13:39.480
<v Scott>But this, I have a hard time not seeing it in my top ten for sure, because this is one that's been hyped, like Heather said, but it is definitely worth the hype because of the way this is done.

01:13:39.480 --> 01:13:43.480
<v Scott>It was really well made, well directed, well shot.

01:13:44.240 --> 01:13:49.760
<v Scott>And yeah, I don't have much else to say, so let me see if I can go on to the next movie.

01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:50.880
<v Scott>I don't know if I can.

01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:52.140
<v Scott>Oh yes, yes I can.

01:13:52.140 --> 01:13:54.200
<v Scott>So the next movie is mine.

01:13:54.200 --> 01:13:57.980
<v Scott>I think Heather did watch it, but we'll get her opinion when we get back.

01:13:57.980 --> 01:14:03.740
<v Scott>But Good Boy is available on Shudder, so I definitely recommend checking that out.

01:14:03.740 --> 01:14:06.400
<v Scott>The next movie we are going to talk about.

01:14:06.400 --> 01:14:07.380
<v Heather>I'm back.

01:14:07.380 --> 01:14:09.300
<v Scott>All right, she's back.

01:14:09.300 --> 01:14:13.440
<v Scott>I just wrapped up with Good Boy and was getting ready to move on to the next film.

01:14:13.740 --> 01:14:15.560
<v Scott>Which I think you also watched.

01:14:15.560 --> 01:14:19.680
<v Heather>Yeah, I have nothing else to add to Good Boy, except for this was a good film, and everyone should watch it.

01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:24.480
<v Scott>And there might be a little bit of me rubbing my nipples talk as like everything went down.

01:14:24.480 --> 01:14:26.220
<v Scott>I'm going, well, you guys are stuck with me.

01:14:26.220 --> 01:14:26.880
<v Scott>And you know what?

01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:30.380
<v Scott>When you're by yourself, you may just have to rub your nipples a little bit like I'm doing right now.

01:14:30.380 --> 01:14:32.540
<v Scott>And then, oh, Heather wants me to talk about Good Boy more.

01:14:32.540 --> 01:14:33.640
<v Scott>Okay, let me jump back to the...

01:14:33.720 --> 01:14:37.260
<v Heather>Oh, I meant you could have talked about the other movie.

01:14:37.260 --> 01:14:39.500
<v Heather>But yeah, I hope everyone gets a chance to watch Good Boy.

01:14:39.500 --> 01:14:40.380
<v Heather>It is...

01:14:40.380 --> 01:14:44.640
<v Heather>I thought it was supposed to be picked up by YouTube, on Netflix, or Shutter.

01:14:45.260 --> 01:14:48.080
<v Scott>It is picked up by Shutter, so it might not be on Canadian Shutter.

01:14:48.080 --> 01:14:49.820
<v Heather>Okay, but it is on American Shutter.

01:14:49.820 --> 01:14:50.380
<v Scott>Yes.

01:14:50.380 --> 01:14:51.380
<v Heather>Okay, okay.

01:14:51.380 --> 01:14:56.480
<v Scott>Well, yeah, because that's where I said it's able to be found there, but yeah, I didn't think about that, that it might not be in Canadian Shutter.

01:14:56.480 --> 01:14:58.500
<v Scott>So it might be different places for you guys.

01:14:58.500 --> 01:14:59.980
<v Heather>Yeah, I think it's just available to rent.

01:14:59.980 --> 01:15:02.780
<v Heather>So again, if this is your thing, make sure you rent it there.

01:15:02.780 --> 01:15:06.460
<v Heather>But we'll move on to yours, which I don't think I...

01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:08.460
<v Heather>Did you talk about this one?

01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:09.500
<v Scott>We haven't talked about it.

01:15:09.500 --> 01:15:10.620
<v Scott>You and I talked about it.

01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:11.140
<v Scott>Did you?

01:15:11.140 --> 01:15:11.500
<v Heather>Okay.

01:15:11.500 --> 01:15:14.340
<v Scott>You watched it first, and then I watched it later.

01:15:14.340 --> 01:15:14.840
<v Scott>Yes.

01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:16.020
<v Heather>Oh, is it a while ago?

01:15:16.020 --> 01:15:17.160
<v Scott>Yeah, it was a while ago.

01:15:17.160 --> 01:15:19.820
<v Scott>This one might not be one that stuck with you.

01:15:19.820 --> 01:15:24.180
<v Scott>But this one is House on Eden, which is also a Shutter release.

01:15:24.180 --> 01:15:25.280
<v Heather>Oh, that one.

01:15:25.280 --> 01:15:25.520
<v Heather>Yes.

01:15:25.520 --> 01:15:25.980
<v Scott>Okay.

01:15:25.980 --> 01:15:31.340
<v Scott>It's directed by Chris Collins, which I'll get to here in a second, but it's a 77-minute runtime.

01:15:31.340 --> 01:15:34.480
<v Scott>So once again, short and sweet folks, I'm loving this.

01:15:35.500 --> 01:15:49.640
<v Scott>The synopsis is, Paranormal investigators Chris, Selena, and their videographer, Jay, are rerouted to an abandoned house deep in the woods where they find themselves facing a force unlike anything they've encountered before.

01:15:49.640 --> 01:15:58.540
<v Scott>As the night spirals into chaos, missing crew members and eerie phenomena hint at an ancient malevolent presence watching their every move.

01:15:58.540 --> 01:16:02.740
<v Scott>The reason this one intrigued me was because, for one, found footage.

01:16:02.980 --> 01:16:05.600
<v Scott>Yeah, I've got to watch it.

01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:10.460
<v Scott>But the other reason is because of Chris and Selena, the characters.

01:16:10.460 --> 01:16:17.160
<v Scott>That is their real names, or at least their influencer names, or TikToker names, or whatever you want to call someone.

01:16:17.160 --> 01:16:22.180
<v Scott>They're not necessarily influencers, but they do videos, reels, and stuff like that.

01:16:22.180 --> 01:16:24.780
<v Scott>And I follow both of them.

01:16:25.080 --> 01:16:39.240
<v Scott>And I knew they were horror movie fans, but I follow them because Selena is where I get a lot of my dad jokes from, to torment my boys, because she does all these dumb dad jokes and pun jokes.

01:16:39.240 --> 01:16:40.520
<v Scott>And she's just funny.

01:16:40.520 --> 01:16:42.040
<v Scott>She's just freaking hilarious.

01:16:42.040 --> 01:16:49.160
<v Scott>And Chris, I started following her shortly after that, because she's friends with Selena, and she got onto some of her videos.

01:16:49.160 --> 01:16:51.300
<v Scott>So I started following her and watching her videos.

01:16:51.300 --> 01:16:57.940
<v Scott>And then I heard they were making this movie together, because they were huge horror movie fans and found footage fans.

01:16:57.940 --> 01:17:00.640
<v Scott>So I was like, all right, I'm very curious.

01:17:01.280 --> 01:17:03.340
<v Scott>And then I heard Shudder was picking it up.

01:17:03.340 --> 01:17:06.100
<v Scott>I'm going, now I'm intrigued, really intrigued.

01:17:06.100 --> 01:17:07.420
<v Scott>Okay, I'll give it a shot.

01:17:07.420 --> 01:17:14.180
<v Scott>And for them, just because they're horror movie fans wanting to make a found footage movie, not bad.

01:17:14.180 --> 01:17:16.240
<v Scott>Honestly, not bad for a first time.

01:17:16.240 --> 01:17:26.080
<v Scott>And I couldn't find anything wrong with the found footage style, because I always try to nitpick, okay, will you be doing this?

01:17:26.080 --> 01:17:28.000
<v Scott>Is this all truly found footage or not?

01:17:28.720 --> 01:17:32.080
<v Scott>Nope, they followed the rules that I could notice.

01:17:32.080 --> 01:17:34.000
<v Scott>I didn't catch any of them breaking the rules at all.

01:17:34.000 --> 01:17:40.140
<v Scott>And there were actually some moments of legit creepiness throughout this.

01:17:40.140 --> 01:17:41.460
<v Scott>Wouldn't say it's amazing.

01:17:41.460 --> 01:17:44.120
<v Scott>Wouldn't say it's groundbreaking or anything like that.

01:17:44.120 --> 01:17:50.320
<v Scott>It's more of your typical, you know, here we are, paranormal investigators going to a haunted house.

01:17:50.320 --> 01:17:52.000
<v Heather>Oh my god, it's real.

01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:54.640
<v Heather>Oh no, there's really ghosts there.

01:17:56.160 --> 01:18:08.920
<v Scott>It's more along those lines, like so if you know, nothing groundbreaking, nothing new, but for what it was, and being the first time I found a film from these two that are just, you know, known as their social media presence, I thought it wasn't bad.

01:18:08.940 --> 01:18:12.180
<v Scott>I thought it was entertaining enough that I, yeah, Eric and I both enjoyed it.

01:18:12.180 --> 01:18:12.700
<v Heather>Awesome.

01:18:12.700 --> 01:18:14.540
<v Heather>Well, I'm glad you liked it because I don't think I did.

01:18:14.540 --> 01:18:18.100
<v Scott>Yeah, because I think you were even saying, you're like, oh, Scott, this ain't good.

01:18:18.100 --> 01:18:19.400
<v Heather>Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

01:18:19.440 --> 01:18:22.540
<v Heather>And sometimes having that personal connection does help.

01:18:22.540 --> 01:18:22.720
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:18:22.720 --> 01:18:23.940
<v Heather>Right.

01:18:23.940 --> 01:18:26.620
<v Heather>And has it changed where it's available?

01:18:26.620 --> 01:18:28.820
<v Scott>No, it is on Shutter.

01:18:28.820 --> 01:18:33.360
<v Scott>It's on also Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon, AMC Plus.

01:18:33.360 --> 01:18:35.560
<v Scott>Oh, and Tim Davis gave us a three and a half.

01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:37.280
<v Scott>Let me read what he says.

01:18:37.280 --> 01:18:39.040
<v Scott>Chris Collins' first feature length film.

01:18:39.040 --> 01:18:41.460
<v Scott>And to be honest, I really don't have any problems with it.

01:18:41.460 --> 01:18:43.420
<v Scott>I thought all cast did a great job.

01:18:43.420 --> 01:18:46.320
<v Scott>For a found footage film, this does follow the usual trends.

01:18:46.320 --> 01:18:52.300
<v Scott>And then with a haunted house style film, it's nothing new, but it did have great tension and some creepy moments.

01:18:52.300 --> 01:18:54.300
<v Scott>Nothing that probably returned to but decent.

01:18:54.300 --> 01:18:54.680
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:18:54.680 --> 01:18:55.420
<v Scott>Nice.

01:18:55.420 --> 01:18:57.120
<v Scott>Tim and I have the exact same thoughts.

01:18:57.120 --> 01:18:58.280
<v Heather>Well, I'm glad to hear that.

01:18:58.280 --> 01:19:02.860
<v Heather>I was not as big of a fan, but hey, if you liked it, it's not going to work for everybody.

01:19:02.860 --> 01:19:04.460
<v Heather>No, no.

01:19:04.460 --> 01:19:06.840
<v Heather>But basically, if you don't like Good Boy, you're a piece of shit.

01:19:06.840 --> 01:19:07.680
<v Heather>So 100%.

01:19:10.820 --> 01:19:18.520
<v Heather>Well, the next one is a very low budget game, a budget game, low budget movie, The Lizzie Borden Game.

01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:22.560
<v Heather>And so usually we don't talk about these films anymore.

01:19:22.560 --> 01:19:24.180
<v Heather>Very rare do I sit through them.

01:19:24.180 --> 01:19:27.540
<v Heather>This is very much by people.

01:19:27.540 --> 01:19:32.640
<v Heather>Well, there's a couple more actors, but they're kind of just there for a little bit.

01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:34.060
<v Heather>David Garrett has seen this.

01:19:34.060 --> 01:19:36.080
<v Heather>He watched The Screener as well.

01:19:36.080 --> 01:19:37.580
<v Heather>And he gave it three and a half stars.

01:19:37.580 --> 01:19:39.080
<v Heather>And I think that's really fair.

01:19:39.080 --> 01:19:50.680
<v Heather>So following the tragic and unexplained death of her parents, Emily Jones and a group of friends during a secluded trip in the woods, the group uncovers an eerie child game known as the Lizzie Borden Game.

01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:52.620
<v Heather>You know, similar to Bloody Mary, right?

01:19:52.620 --> 01:19:53.400
<v Heather>Is how they...

01:19:53.400 --> 01:19:55.600
<v Heather>Only they're using the Lizzie Borden lore.

01:19:55.600 --> 01:19:56.240
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:19:56.240 --> 01:19:58.220
<v Heather>And I really liked this film.

01:19:58.220 --> 01:20:00.580
<v Heather>Like, I'm going to be very clear here.

01:20:00.580 --> 01:20:06.920
<v Heather>I am not telling everyone to run into Robsky and be like, You told me to go watch the Lizzie Borden Game movie and it sucked.

01:20:06.920 --> 01:20:09.960
<v Heather>But I'm not telling everyone to go watch this movie.

01:20:10.980 --> 01:20:18.040
<v Heather>All I am saying is that for a low-budget film, like true low-budget, it worked within its means.

01:20:18.040 --> 01:20:19.720
<v Heather>It was 82-minute runtime.

01:20:19.720 --> 01:20:22.240
<v Heather>I actually gave a shit what happened to the characters.

01:20:22.240 --> 01:20:23.740
<v Heather>I liked them.

01:20:23.740 --> 01:20:26.700
<v Heather>I believe that they were the one group of...

01:20:26.700 --> 01:20:31.080
<v Heather>Like, there was two girls that were supposed to be friends, and they're introducing their boyfriends for the first time.

01:20:31.080 --> 01:20:33.960
<v Heather>Honestly, it seemed like people in their late 20s getting together.

01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:34.740
<v Heather>Early 30s.

01:20:34.740 --> 01:20:37.100
<v Heather>Like, I was like, this seems believable to me.

01:20:37.100 --> 01:20:39.020
<v Heather>Like, this seems like believable conversation.

01:20:39.240 --> 01:20:39.520
<v Scott>Right?

01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:45.160
<v Heather>Like, it wasn't something so out-of-the-top weird that I was like, I can't see this happening.

01:20:46.480 --> 01:20:50.160
<v Heather>Obviously, there's a ghost story wrapped into this.

01:20:50.160 --> 01:20:51.700
<v Heather>But her low budget...

01:20:51.700 --> 01:20:54.320
<v Heather>Like, that's why I wanted to, like, give a little shout out to this.

01:20:54.320 --> 01:20:58.920
<v Heather>So, Cavan Moray McCarthy was the director here.

01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:02.340
<v Heather>He's also done Beware of the Boogie Man in 2024.

01:21:02.340 --> 01:21:04.420
<v Heather>So, this would be his second film.

01:21:04.420 --> 01:21:05.320
<v Heather>You know what, man?

01:21:05.320 --> 01:21:06.200
<v Heather>Good for you.

01:21:06.200 --> 01:21:08.600
<v Heather>Like, this was an entertaining, low-budget film.

01:21:08.720 --> 01:21:11.400
<v Heather>You stayed within your 82-minute runtime.

01:21:11.400 --> 01:21:13.380
<v Heather>It's available for free on Plex.

01:21:13.380 --> 01:21:26.300
<v Heather>I would say, for people, if you're looking at low-budget movies and you're wondering what it would be like for you to make a movie one day, or Esmeen Gray, I think you would like this film, because I know Esmeen watches a lot of different stuff.

01:21:26.300 --> 01:21:26.680
<v Scott>Yep.

01:21:26.680 --> 01:21:28.660
<v Heather>This would be something that they would appreciate.

01:21:28.660 --> 01:21:30.140
<v Scott>Oh, absolutely.

01:21:30.140 --> 01:21:35.740
<v Scott>Well, actually, I shouldn't say I'd know, but I mean, Esme would definitely be one to check this out, for sure, is what I mean.

01:21:35.780 --> 01:21:39.920
<v Heather>And I think even Sander Kane would appreciate this.

01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:42.800
<v Heather>Like, would I recommend it to the average horror fan?

01:21:42.800 --> 01:21:43.880
<v Heather>Probably not.

01:21:43.880 --> 01:21:47.900
<v Heather>But for those that have seen low budget and don't mind it, I would definitely check this out.

01:21:47.900 --> 01:21:49.380
<v Heather>And it's for free on Plex.

01:21:49.380 --> 01:21:50.860
<v Scott>So can't argue with that.

01:21:50.860 --> 01:21:52.740
<v Heather>Yeah, right.

01:21:52.740 --> 01:21:55.500
<v Heather>So that's my one low budget that I brought to the table.

01:21:55.500 --> 01:21:56.000
<v Scott>All right.

01:21:56.000 --> 01:22:01.960
<v Scott>Well, this is one that I'm going to bring to the table that I don't think enough people have really talked about.

01:22:01.960 --> 01:22:04.500
<v Scott>So kind of like a hidden gem, if you will.

01:22:04.580 --> 01:22:06.080
<v Heather>And I feel like it's the name.

01:22:06.080 --> 01:22:07.140
<v Scott>It might be, yeah.

01:22:07.140 --> 01:22:09.620
<v Heather>I think it sounds like it's going to be this low budget shitty film.

01:22:09.620 --> 01:22:10.320
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

01:22:10.320 --> 01:22:12.040
<v Scott>Yeah, exactly.

01:22:12.040 --> 01:22:15.360
<v Scott>So this movie that we're talking about is Bone Lake.

01:22:15.360 --> 01:22:18.620
<v Scott>Once again, another 94 minute runtime.

01:22:18.620 --> 01:22:21.300
<v Scott>And the tagline, What's Your Body Count?

01:22:21.300 --> 01:22:29.820
<v Scott>A couple's romantic vacation at a secluded lakeside estate is upended when they are forced to share the mansion with a mysterious and attractive couple.

01:22:30.400 --> 01:22:43.440
<v Scott>In the darkly hilarious and seductive horror story, a dream getaway spirals into a nightmarish maze of sex, lies, and manipulation, bringing terrifying secrets to light and triggering a bloody battle for survival.

01:22:43.440 --> 01:22:43.800
<v Scott>All right.

01:22:43.800 --> 01:22:56.440
<v Scott>So I went into this one thinking, okay, this is just going to be kind of silly because we watched the trailer and it looked just very like, okay, this could be like horny people and bad things happen to them.

01:22:56.440 --> 01:22:59.440
<v Scott>And it ends up being way more than that.

01:23:00.160 --> 01:23:05.560
<v Scott>This actually kind of gave me the 90s erotic thriller feel.

01:23:05.560 --> 01:23:06.660
<v Heather>Yeah, I would agree.

01:23:06.660 --> 01:23:20.700
<v Scott>And it actually had like a well thought out story that like kept making you have like, feel these awkward moments and like very, like it made you very uncomfortable in certain situations.

01:23:20.700 --> 01:23:26.400
<v Scott>And the way these characters just played off of each other, the chemistry was phenomenal.

01:23:26.580 --> 01:23:31.620
<v Scott>The story, I thought, was just great because I didn't, I kind of seen where it was going.

01:23:31.620 --> 01:23:37.440
<v Scott>But then like one part of the reveal kind of was like, oh, holy shit, really?

01:23:37.440 --> 01:23:38.340
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:23:38.340 --> 01:23:47.580
<v Scott>And I have to say, you know, it started off as like an erotic thriller and all this, but goddamn, there were some gory ass kills.

01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:51.080
<v Scott>There might be a kill of the year in here for me for a couple of them.

01:23:51.140 --> 01:23:51.840
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:53.200
<v Scott>Good God.

01:23:53.200 --> 01:23:58.820
<v Scott>Right off the bat, within the first five minutes, there's one that made me just go, oh, oh, God.

01:23:58.820 --> 01:24:01.740
<v Scott>Wild.

01:24:01.740 --> 01:24:04.860
<v Scott>But yeah, I this movie was fucking fantastic.

01:24:04.860 --> 01:24:05.700
<v Heather>Like, I agree.

01:24:05.700 --> 01:24:07.720
<v Scott>I had so much fun with this one.

01:24:07.720 --> 01:24:08.280
<v Heather>I agree.

01:24:08.280 --> 01:24:14.380
<v Scott>And like I was just shocked because I haven't heard anybody really talk about it until I brought it up to you.

01:24:14.380 --> 01:24:21.600
<v Scott>And I think I brought it up in the Nightmares for Dummies chat with the horror for Dummies and Rob brought it up in there saying, you guys need to watch it.

01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:24.060
<v Scott>And Rob was like, yeah, this movie was a lot of fucking fun.

01:24:24.060 --> 01:24:24.420
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:24:24.420 --> 01:24:26.140
<v Scott>So like, yeah, like that.

01:24:26.140 --> 01:24:35.620
<v Heather>We found a movie Rob likes, which is rare because besides Jurassic World Rebirth, which is his number one film of the year, I yeah, it's good that he has to.

01:24:35.620 --> 01:24:36.680
<v Scott>Exactly.

01:24:36.680 --> 01:24:39.020
<v Scott>But yeah, this one, I couldn't recommend enough.

01:24:39.020 --> 01:24:44.540
<v Scott>This was just way better than I had given it any than it had any right to be like it was fun.

01:24:44.540 --> 01:24:45.420
<v Heather>I agree with you.

01:24:45.420 --> 01:24:46.980
<v Heather>I thought this was entertaining.

01:24:47.080 --> 01:24:49.760
<v Heather>It was easy to watch.

01:24:49.760 --> 01:24:52.600
<v Heather>It was strangers at a home done right.

01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:53.820
<v Heather>It was believable.

01:24:53.820 --> 01:24:54.740
<v Heather>Yes.

01:24:55.420 --> 01:24:58.180
<v Heather>The choices that they make were believable.

01:24:58.180 --> 01:25:03.860
<v Heather>The actions were of when you're in an awkward social situation, what you would do.

01:25:03.860 --> 01:25:05.820
<v Heather>I really bought into the main couple.

01:25:05.820 --> 01:25:11.040
<v Heather>I thought they had a really authentic relationship, not the antagonist.

01:25:11.040 --> 01:25:12.420
<v Scott>Yeah, like Manoa.

01:25:12.500 --> 01:25:13.900
<v Scott>That's a whole different ballgame right there.

01:25:14.280 --> 01:25:16.040
<v Heather>The protagonist.

01:25:16.040 --> 01:25:21.020
<v Scott>Because you believe the issues they are dealing with were typical couple issues.

01:25:21.020 --> 01:25:24.080
<v Heather>Yeah, to me, they were real, and I really appreciated that.

01:25:24.080 --> 01:25:24.700
<v Heather>I agree with you.

01:25:24.700 --> 01:25:29.000
<v Heather>I haven't heard this talked about, and I wonder if the title is what's done it.

01:25:29.000 --> 01:25:29.720
<v Scott>It might be.

01:25:29.720 --> 01:25:33.840
<v Heather>Some of the posters of it, because it's a really entertaining film.

01:25:33.840 --> 01:25:37.500
<v Heather>I definitely think this is one of the year to check out.

01:25:37.500 --> 01:25:43.480
<v Heather>It is available for rent on Amazon, Google, and Apple, so it's out there, people, if you're interested.

01:25:43.480 --> 01:25:46.800
<v Scott>Yeah, I highly recommend this to pretty much anybody.

01:25:46.800 --> 01:25:49.400
<v Scott>Like, this is another top 10 for me.

01:25:49.400 --> 01:25:50.420
<v Heather>Yeah, no, I agree with you.

01:25:50.420 --> 01:25:53.580
<v Heather>I think it's a really solid film this year.

01:25:53.580 --> 01:25:55.340
<v Heather>You watch the next one, I think.

01:25:55.420 --> 01:25:56.240
<v Scott>Let's see.

01:25:56.240 --> 01:25:57.520
<v Scott>Let me look at the list.

01:25:57.520 --> 01:25:58.900
<v Scott>Oh, hell yeah, I did.

01:25:58.900 --> 01:26:00.000
<v Heather>Yeah, this is a you.

01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:01.240
<v Scott>Oh, hell yeah, I did.

01:26:01.240 --> 01:26:03.880
<v Scott>Let me get the synopsis up.

01:26:03.880 --> 01:26:31.680
<v Scott>All right, so this next one that I am talking about, I just watched, I think it was Thursday evening or Friday night, but this was one that I had been highly anticipating because it is for one, directed by good old Stephen Kostanski, which is part of the Astron 6 group from the Canadian film team that did Father's Day, The Editor, and a lot of awesome short films.

01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:37.160
<v Scott>These, but Stephen Kostanski is well known for Leprechaun Returns, Psycho Gorman.

01:26:38.140 --> 01:26:55.120
<v Scott>What was the other one he did that Frankie Frico, The Void, and then now this, which the movie I'm talking about, is a remake of an old 80s dark fantasy movie called Deathstalker.

01:26:55.840 --> 01:27:04.620
<v Scott>I, for one, will, I'll get into Deathstalker, the original first, and just say, I've always had a soft spot for this series.

01:27:04.620 --> 01:27:12.800
<v Scott>I remember making Heather, Nudie, Android, and Venom watch these for, it's not horror, okay?

01:27:12.800 --> 01:27:17.300
<v Scott>And they're just ridiculous 80s fantasy trash.

01:27:17.300 --> 01:27:20.460
<v Scott>It's, I know they're bad movies, but they're fucking entertaining.

01:27:21.180 --> 01:27:26.300
<v Scott>And yep, Stephen Kostanski decided to do a remake of this.

01:27:26.300 --> 01:27:29.380
<v Scott>And here, I'll get right into the tagline and then synopsis.

01:27:29.380 --> 01:27:32.980
<v Scott>Evil has many names, adventure has only one.

01:27:32.980 --> 01:27:39.320
<v Scott>A powerful swordsman known as Deathstalker recovers a cursed amulet from a corpse-strewn battlefield.

01:27:39.320 --> 01:27:45.960
<v Scott>Marked by dark magic and hunted by monstrous assassins, he must face the rising evil and break the curse.

01:27:47.240 --> 01:27:53.540
<v Scott>This star is the typical Astrons 6 crew kind of smattered throughout the entire film.

01:27:53.540 --> 01:27:54.700
<v Scott>None of them are main characters.

01:27:54.700 --> 01:27:57.020
<v Scott>They're all just kind of like little side characters that show up.

01:27:57.020 --> 01:28:09.040
<v Scott>It does have Patton Oswalt, who plays Doodad, or the voice of Doodad, who is a little person goblin type wizard in this.

01:28:09.040 --> 01:28:11.780
<v Scott>But yeah, Patton Oswalt does the voice for him.

01:28:11.780 --> 01:28:14.340
<v Scott>Let's see if there's anybody else of note.

01:28:15.120 --> 01:28:17.380
<v Scott>No one else that comes to mind.

01:28:17.380 --> 01:28:19.920
<v Scott>Daniel Bernhardt is the one that plays Deathstalker.

01:28:19.920 --> 01:28:29.260
<v Scott>But anyways, so I saw the trailer for this when it got announced, and I was all fucking in, because I'm like, this movie, this is gonna be fucking badass.

01:28:29.260 --> 01:28:30.500
<v Scott>I cannot wait.

01:28:30.500 --> 01:28:31.840
<v Scott>I am here for it.

01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:34.800
<v Scott>And it did not fucking disappoint.

01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:38.040
<v Scott>This movie was just freaking awesome.

01:28:38.040 --> 01:28:40.100
<v Scott>It was hilarious.

01:28:40.100 --> 01:28:41.320
<v Scott>It was gory.

01:28:41.840 --> 01:28:49.680
<v Scott>It was total 80s dark fantasy practical effects extravaganza.

01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:51.200
<v Scott>Had the cheesy story.

01:28:51.200 --> 01:28:53.520
<v Scott>Had the cheesy dialogue.

01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:55.480
<v Scott>It was all done on purpose.

01:28:55.480 --> 01:28:56.840
<v Scott>You could totally tell.

01:28:56.840 --> 01:29:01.200
<v Scott>But by God, this belongs in the horror genre as well.

01:29:01.200 --> 01:29:05.740
<v Scott>It is gonna be the category of, it's not horror, or is it?

01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:06.520
<v Scott>Or who cares?

01:29:06.520 --> 01:29:07.820
<v Scott>It's good award.

01:29:07.820 --> 01:29:08.160
<v Heather>Nice.

01:29:08.200 --> 01:29:08.880
<v Heather>I love it.

01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:09.180
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:29:09.180 --> 01:29:15.420
<v Scott>This has so much gore, some very creepy ass monsters.

01:29:15.420 --> 01:29:19.160
<v Scott>And it's basically like a fantasy meets a horror movie.

01:29:19.160 --> 01:29:20.240
<v Heather>Do you think I should watch it?

01:29:20.240 --> 01:29:21.580
<v Scott>I think you should.

01:29:21.580 --> 01:29:26.840
<v Scott>Like I say, I don't think you'll like it as much as me, because it's definitely a Scotty film.

01:29:26.840 --> 01:29:27.540
<v Scott>Okay.

01:29:27.540 --> 01:29:37.480
<v Scott>But I think you should at least check, but I think you should check it out, because I think the practical effects and the horror aspect to it will be enough to kind of keep you going.

01:29:37.480 --> 01:29:38.300
<v Heather>Okay.

01:29:38.300 --> 01:29:38.880
<v Heather>Okay.

01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:43.500
<v Scott>But yeah, this is, I want to say this may be my number one film of the year.

01:29:43.500 --> 01:29:47.000
<v Scott>This is my Psycho Gorman from like 2021, 2022.

01:29:47.000 --> 01:29:47.860
<v Heather>That's awesome.

01:29:47.860 --> 01:29:49.080
<v Scott>I fucking loved it.

01:29:49.080 --> 01:29:51.240
<v Scott>Kostansky is back on full swing.

01:29:51.240 --> 01:29:58.160
<v Scott>You can see his practical effects being on full display, and there is so much of it on screen.

01:29:58.160 --> 01:30:09.000
<v Scott>Erica was instantly losing interest, but she also likes these fantasy movies from the 80s, but something about this one just wasn't grabbing her attention.

01:30:09.000 --> 01:30:19.800
<v Scott>But I would say if you are a fan of Willow, Deathstalker, Army of Darkness, and even, fuck, what was the name of the other one I was trying to think of?

01:30:19.800 --> 01:30:20.620
<v Scott>Oh, Legend.

01:30:20.620 --> 01:30:29.000
<v Scott>If you are a fan of any of those like 80s and 90s fantasy movies, this is kind of a love letter mix of all those together.

01:30:29.680 --> 01:30:30.880
<v Scott>Just added more gore.

01:30:30.880 --> 01:30:31.620
<v Heather>Okay.

01:30:31.620 --> 01:30:32.380
<v Heather>I'm here for it.

01:30:32.380 --> 01:30:34.020
<v Scott>Yeah, it is fucking awesome.

01:30:34.020 --> 01:30:35.600
<v Scott>I loved it.

01:30:35.600 --> 01:30:40.440
<v Scott>It made my Scotty heart happy to have a film like this in 2025.

01:30:40.440 --> 01:30:43.280
<v Heather>And where would you recommend, like, where can we find it?

01:30:43.280 --> 01:30:49.580
<v Scott>This one is available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon, Plex, and YouTube.

01:30:49.580 --> 01:30:50.060
<v Heather>Nice.

01:30:50.060 --> 01:30:50.560
<v Heather>Nice.

01:30:50.560 --> 01:30:52.020
<v Heather>Well, I may watch it.

01:30:52.020 --> 01:30:52.620
<v Heather>I will try.

01:30:52.620 --> 01:31:00.240
<v Scott>I was gonna say, like, it's not one that you must watch, because I already know it's not going to be anything for you, but it's definitely entertaining.

01:31:00.240 --> 01:31:01.640
<v Heather>I appreciate that.

01:31:01.640 --> 01:31:05.160
<v Heather>Well, final film we have to talk about today.

01:31:05.160 --> 01:31:07.240
<v Scott>Time to bring it down a notch.

01:31:07.240 --> 01:31:08.840
<v Scott>Oh, for fuck's sakes.

01:31:08.840 --> 01:31:10.340
<v Heather>Oh, okay.

01:31:10.340 --> 01:31:13.280
<v Heather>It is Black Phone 2.

01:31:13.280 --> 01:31:14.600
<v Heather>That is just a word.

01:31:14.600 --> 01:31:20.280
<v Heather>So the original Black Phone cleaned up at the Fangoria Awards the year that it came out.

01:31:20.340 --> 01:31:21.740
<v Heather>Oh, yeah.

01:31:21.740 --> 01:31:22.180
<v Heather>I'll be honest.

01:31:22.180 --> 01:31:23.980
<v Heather>And I mean this in the best way.

01:31:23.980 --> 01:31:27.320
<v Heather>I do not think Black Phone was the best film that came out that year.

01:31:27.320 --> 01:31:29.620
<v Scott>No, it was good, but it wasn't amazing.

01:31:29.620 --> 01:31:30.660
<v Heather>And I mean this.

01:31:30.660 --> 01:31:32.280
<v Heather>And that's going to sound mean.

01:31:32.280 --> 01:31:37.500
<v Heather>If you're an average horror fan and you didn't watch a lot, I could see how that was considered your number one film of the year.

01:31:37.500 --> 01:31:39.440
<v Heather>Yeah, because it was good.

01:31:39.440 --> 01:31:39.960
<v Heather>It was good.

01:31:39.960 --> 01:31:42.680
<v Heather>It was well done, which is why that's voted on fans.

01:31:42.680 --> 01:31:45.980
<v Heather>Most people watch theatrical releases.

01:31:45.980 --> 01:31:47.800
<v Heather>You know, that's how it got awarded that.

01:31:48.500 --> 01:31:51.840
<v Heather>So I enjoyed the original very, very much so.

01:31:51.840 --> 01:31:52.300
<v Heather>Thought it was good.

01:31:52.300 --> 01:31:54.040
<v Heather>I think it was in our top 10.

01:31:54.040 --> 01:31:55.840
<v Scott>Yeah, I think I at least gave an honorable mention.

01:31:55.840 --> 01:31:56.880
<v Scott>I don't know if it made it in my top 10 or not.

01:31:56.880 --> 01:31:58.280
<v Heather>I think it was in my top 10.

01:31:58.280 --> 01:31:59.680
<v Heather>I think it was number 10 or 9.

01:31:59.680 --> 01:32:00.440
<v Heather>Like it was up there.

01:32:00.440 --> 01:32:02.200
<v Heather>I did think it was pretty good.

01:32:02.200 --> 01:32:05.440
<v Heather>So, you know, I was excited to see a sequel.

01:32:05.440 --> 01:32:10.520
<v Heather>I questioned how they could do a sequel because, you know, he's dead at the end of it.

01:32:10.580 --> 01:32:15.340
<v Heather>So, well, we should never doubt the creativity of horror writers.

01:32:15.800 --> 01:32:18.400
<v Scott>So, oh boy.

01:32:18.400 --> 01:32:24.420
<v Heather>Four years after escaping the Gravver, Finley Break is struggling with his life after captivity fair.

01:32:24.420 --> 01:32:27.840
<v Heather>And this was like the 80s, so we don't believe in counseling, so that makes sense.

01:32:27.840 --> 01:32:28.980
<v Heather>They're right.

01:32:28.980 --> 01:32:35.960
<v Heather>When his sister Gwen begins to receive calls in her gene from a black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp.

01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:38.680
<v Heather>So now we're at a winter camp.

01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:43.900
<v Heather>The siblings become determined to solve the mystery and confront a killer who's gained more powerful in death and more significant than her.

01:32:44.320 --> 01:32:45.460
<v Heather>Like, this is so stupid.

01:32:45.460 --> 01:32:46.260
<v Heather>Fuck sakes.

01:32:46.260 --> 01:32:52.540
<v Heather>Okay, so, oh my god, I'm going to try not to give spoilers here, people.

01:32:52.540 --> 01:33:04.580
<v Heather>But basically, there's a family connection to the Grabber from a previous family member who went to this camp and also the Grabber was at this camp and then moved back to this other town.

01:33:04.580 --> 01:33:06.340
<v Heather>Grabber gets around a lot.

01:33:07.640 --> 01:33:15.060
<v Heather>People who have compared this to the Nightmare on Elm Street series, I would say you need to compare this to Dream Child if you're going to compare it.

01:33:15.160 --> 01:33:16.360
<v Scott>Oh, boy.

01:33:16.360 --> 01:33:18.080
<v Heather>On Elm Street series.

01:33:19.200 --> 01:33:20.660
<v Heather>I know it's in theaters.

01:33:20.660 --> 01:33:24.400
<v Heather>I know it has done well, and I can appreciate those who have enjoyed it.

01:33:24.400 --> 01:33:28.060
<v Heather>It has a 3.1 letter rating on Starbucks.

01:33:28.060 --> 01:33:30.280
<v Heather>Dave C gave it Starbucks.

01:33:31.520 --> 01:33:33.020
<v Heather>Letterboxx, thank you.

01:33:33.020 --> 01:33:34.700
<v Heather>Dave C gave it four stars.

01:33:34.700 --> 01:33:37.000
<v Heather>Dave Bailey's given it four stars.

01:33:37.000 --> 01:33:38.000
<v Heather>Matt Wood's given it three.

01:33:38.700 --> 01:33:41.240
<v Heather>You know, I will say it's interesting.

01:33:41.240 --> 01:33:48.120
<v Heather>They took the concept and went a very different way with it, but I found it a little too out there for me.

01:33:48.120 --> 01:33:50.980
<v Heather>There's too much suspension of belief.

01:33:50.980 --> 01:33:58.400
<v Heather>I would have preferred a true prequel, where perhaps we saw the grabber, and someone else had got away, but could never prove it was him.

01:33:58.400 --> 01:33:58.800
<v Scott>Right.

01:33:58.800 --> 01:33:59.540
<v Heather>Right?

01:33:59.540 --> 01:34:00.780
<v Heather>So there was some-

01:34:00.820 --> 01:34:03.240
<v Scott>Or someone inspired by the grabber, perhaps?

01:34:03.240 --> 01:34:14.380
<v Heather>You know, even if it was the grabber, and it was his history, his child, how he became to be who he was, and maybe how he almost got caught, and then we see him, it ends just as he's about to kidnap Finn.

01:34:14.380 --> 01:34:14.820
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:34:14.820 --> 01:34:15.280
<v Heather>Right.

01:34:15.280 --> 01:34:20.760
<v Heather>You know, I think that would have been a better use of their time than the approach they took here.

01:34:21.460 --> 01:34:24.900
<v Heather>It was like a prequel and sequel mixed together, and for me, it just didn't work.

01:34:24.900 --> 01:34:26.100
<v Scott>Okay.

01:34:26.100 --> 01:34:27.840
<v Heather>But for a lot of folks, it did.

01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:30.040
<v Scott>And was this the sequel you were talking-

01:34:30.040 --> 01:34:30.960
<v Scott>alluding to?

01:34:30.980 --> 01:34:32.000
<v Heather>Yes.

01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:37.320
<v Heather>Now mind you, maybe it's because you and I were like, hey, the Black Phone was good, but it wasn't the best thing since Slice Bread.

01:34:37.320 --> 01:34:38.160
<v Heather>I don't know.

01:34:38.160 --> 01:34:39.300
<v Heather>Right.

01:34:39.300 --> 01:34:40.240
<v Heather>George gave up.

01:34:40.240 --> 01:34:42.540
<v Heather>He was watching it with me and he's like, this makes no fucking sense.

01:34:42.540 --> 01:34:45.100
<v Heather>I'm not watching this anymore.

01:34:45.100 --> 01:34:47.200
<v Scott>Yeah, that says something right there if George is out.

01:34:47.200 --> 01:34:48.260
<v Heather>Yeah, I pushed through it.

01:34:48.260 --> 01:34:50.060
<v Heather>It was almost two hours long.

01:34:50.060 --> 01:34:55.400
<v Heather>And I'm not going to lie, there were parts where I was like, fuck, and can we get to the fucking point?

01:34:55.400 --> 01:34:59.340
<v Heather>Like, can we get to the fucking point?

01:35:00.160 --> 01:35:04.260
<v Heather>And we had seen, like, he went with me to see Black Phone in the theaters, right?

01:35:04.260 --> 01:35:07.980
<v Heather>So like, I just felt it was so different from the first one.

01:35:07.980 --> 01:35:10.100
<v Heather>To me, it jumped the shark.

01:35:10.100 --> 01:35:11.300
<v Heather>To me, it was silly.

01:35:11.300 --> 01:35:12.660
<v Heather>It made no sense.

01:35:12.660 --> 01:35:22.080
<v Heather>It was so, like, I understood the logic that they were going with that, like, psychic powers run through the family, which they alluded to in the first one.

01:35:22.080 --> 01:35:27.620
<v Heather>I would love to give spoilers on this to talk about how silly it is, but I won't because it's still in theaters and people are watching it.

01:35:28.180 --> 01:35:30.060
<v Heather>But it's a family prequel.

01:35:30.060 --> 01:35:33.300
<v Heather>It's a family theme with a prequel and sequel mixed together.

01:35:33.300 --> 01:35:34.580
<v Heather>The third act was great.

01:35:34.580 --> 01:35:35.240
<v Heather>I will say this.

01:35:35.240 --> 01:35:39.660
<v Heather>The third act got me back into it because it was, like, quick and it was entertaining.

01:35:39.660 --> 01:35:41.300
<v Heather>But to me, this was not a good film.

01:35:41.460 --> 01:35:43.200
<v Heather>I think this was a payday for Ethan Hawke.

01:35:43.200 --> 01:35:46.800
<v Heather>Like, I think he was like, I think all those actors made some good money off of this film.

01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:49.980
<v Heather>And the worst part is he's been successful, so that means there may be a fucking third.

01:35:49.980 --> 01:35:51.240
<v Heather>And I don't know.

01:35:51.240 --> 01:35:52.100
<v Scott>I'll say that I did see.

01:35:52.240 --> 01:35:53.460
<v Heather>I'm going to come up with a third.

01:35:53.460 --> 01:35:57.040
<v Scott>I'll say I did see Ethan Hawke say he would love to come back for a third movie.

01:35:57.040 --> 01:35:59.020
<v Heather>So like, this is not nightmare.

01:35:59.020 --> 01:36:02.840
<v Heather>Like, you can't redo the concept of Nightmare on Elm Street in 2025.

01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:05.300
<v Heather>If you want to redo the seat, the movie.

01:36:05.300 --> 01:36:05.780
<v Heather>Sure.

01:36:05.780 --> 01:36:09.220
<v Heather>The gesture to is not a redoing of Nightmare on Elm Street.

01:36:09.220 --> 01:36:09.600
<v Scott>No.

01:36:09.600 --> 01:36:10.040
<v Heather>Right.

01:36:10.040 --> 01:36:13.600
<v Heather>It's it's a fucking demon that comes out and pucks people up.

01:36:13.600 --> 01:36:17.040
<v Heather>This was so much like, yeah, anyway, anyway.

01:36:17.040 --> 01:36:17.880
<v Heather>We'll see what you think.

01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:19.940
<v Heather>But it will not it will not be to me.

01:36:20.080 --> 01:36:28.700
<v Heather>This would be the most this and 28 years later, are both competing for most overhyped movie of the year.

01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:29.560
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:32.920
<v Heather>Or whatever it is we have like, overhyped, I think is what we call it.

01:36:32.920 --> 01:36:33.300
<v Heather>Right.

01:36:33.300 --> 01:36:37.860
<v Heather>So I those to me are right up there at like, I think 28 years was better.

01:36:37.860 --> 01:36:41.460
<v Heather>I think Danny Boyle is a better director and the story made more sense.

01:36:41.460 --> 01:36:44.100
<v Heather>And that's not saying much that story would make a lot of sense.

01:36:44.160 --> 01:36:47.000
<v Scott>No.

01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:50.160
<v Heather>Anyway, you want to see it in some theaters and not you can rent it.

01:36:50.160 --> 01:36:52.840
<v Heather>You know, if you want to give it a shot, make your own opinion.

01:36:52.840 --> 01:36:54.320
<v Heather>Like, that's my thoughts on it.

01:36:54.320 --> 01:36:55.360
<v Heather>Lots of people liked it.

01:36:55.360 --> 01:36:57.100
<v Heather>Lots of people had a good time with it.

01:36:57.100 --> 01:36:57.900
<v Heather>Could just be me.

01:36:57.900 --> 01:36:59.740
<v Heather>Everyone different strokes for different folks.

01:36:59.740 --> 01:37:00.700
<v Scott>Oh, for sure.

01:37:00.700 --> 01:37:02.240
<v Scott>And yeah, I will probably watch it.

01:37:02.240 --> 01:37:06.680
<v Scott>Like, I've seen the trailers like, like way back before it came out and everything.

01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:08.560
<v Scott>And I'm just like, first of all, it was fine.

01:37:08.560 --> 01:37:10.160
<v Scott>But I'm going, do we really need a sequel?

01:37:10.160 --> 01:37:11.580
<v Scott>So we'll see where I lay down.

01:37:11.580 --> 01:37:12.680
<v Heather>It was a one and done.

01:37:12.680 --> 01:37:12.900
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:37:12.900 --> 01:37:13.620
<v Heather>You know what I mean?

01:37:13.720 --> 01:37:17.140
<v Heather>Like, it's like trying to redo Barbarian, like do a sequel to Barbarian.

01:37:17.140 --> 01:37:17.500
<v Scott>Right.

01:37:17.500 --> 01:37:20.180
<v Heather>What he did was he just did another fucking movie.

01:37:20.180 --> 01:37:20.860
<v Scott>Exactly.

01:37:20.860 --> 01:37:23.700
<v Heather>Filmed similarly, but another fucking movie.

01:37:23.700 --> 01:37:25.200
<v Heather>Like that's like, why couldn't you?

01:37:25.200 --> 01:37:28.160
<v Heather>Or just do a prequel where we heard about the Grabber's backstory.

01:37:28.160 --> 01:37:28.700
<v Scott>Right.

01:37:28.700 --> 01:37:29.480
<v Heather>Like, do that.

01:37:29.480 --> 01:37:30.600
<v Scott>But yeah, no, no.

01:37:30.820 --> 01:37:31.540
<v Scott>Why do that?

01:37:31.540 --> 01:37:31.800
<v Scott>Why?

01:37:31.800 --> 01:37:32.320
<v Scott>Right.

01:37:32.320 --> 01:37:37.600
<v Heather>Or like, yeah, someone that's inspired by the Grabber and they see him, you know, he comes to them as a vision.

01:37:37.600 --> 01:37:39.580
<v Heather>Sure, I fucking sign up for that, too.

01:37:39.580 --> 01:37:43.740
<v Heather>You know, or like Finn becomes the mentor, like in Halloween Ends.

01:37:43.740 --> 01:37:45.320
<v Heather>Like Michael Meyer got a mentor.

01:37:45.320 --> 01:37:48.680
<v Heather>Maybe fucking some other Finn becomes the mentor.

01:37:48.680 --> 01:37:49.100
<v Heather>Like, I don't know.

01:37:49.100 --> 01:37:51.720
<v Heather>There's so many ways it could have gone with this, it would have been better than this film.

01:37:51.760 --> 01:37:52.000
<v Scott>100%.

01:37:52.140 --> 01:37:52.740
<v Heather>Oh, boy.

01:37:52.740 --> 01:37:55.120
<v Heather>Anyway, when you watch it, let me know what you think.

01:37:55.120 --> 01:37:55.420
<v Scott>All right.

01:37:55.420 --> 01:38:00.880
<v Scott>Yeah, because yeah, I'll probably watch it because once again, I'm trying to get most of the theatrical watches under my belt.

01:38:00.880 --> 01:38:04.100
<v Scott>Well, minus Conjuring 4, because I could give a shit less about Conjuring.

01:38:04.100 --> 01:38:04.820
<v Heather>I watched that.

01:38:04.820 --> 01:38:06.720
<v Heather>I forgot to put that on here.

01:38:06.720 --> 01:38:07.740
<v Scott>Oh, yeah, that's right.

01:38:07.740 --> 01:38:08.740
<v Heather>Oh, man.

01:38:08.740 --> 01:38:09.700
<v Heather>OK, I'll say it quickly.

01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:13.940
<v Heather>Conjuring 4 was like a Niagara Falls haunted house.

01:38:15.720 --> 01:38:17.080
<v Heather>And it was like cameos.

01:38:17.080 --> 01:38:20.660
<v Heather>Like they would come around the cart and they're like, ah, the nun!

01:38:20.660 --> 01:38:22.160
<v Heather>Ah, Annabelle!

01:38:22.180 --> 01:38:24.620
<v Scott>Oh my god, La Llorona!

01:38:24.620 --> 01:38:25.280
<v Heather>Yeah, it was.

01:38:25.280 --> 01:38:27.100
<v Heather>Oh, no, no, that would have been a good ghost.

01:38:27.100 --> 01:38:27.880
<v Heather>She wasn't there.

01:38:27.880 --> 01:38:32.560
<v Heather>It was just like fucking Annabelle and like the nun making cameos every five fucking seconds.

01:38:32.560 --> 01:38:34.200
<v Heather>It was so stupid.

01:38:34.200 --> 01:38:46.060
<v Heather>And like they try to paint themselves like their daughter and like her boyfriend get dredged into it and like all of a sudden, they don't give a shit about anybody and they're like, no, we don't want to help anyone.

01:38:46.060 --> 01:38:48.220
<v Heather>And then they're like forced to help people.

01:38:48.220 --> 01:38:52.980
<v Heather>And I will say the actors that play the two of them are great.

01:38:52.980 --> 01:38:54.580
<v Heather>Patrick, what is it?

01:38:54.580 --> 01:38:59.580
<v Heather>Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.

01:38:59.580 --> 01:39:00.320
<v Heather>Yeah, they're great.

01:39:00.320 --> 01:39:01.840
<v Heather>Like, honestly, no shit on them, right?

01:39:02.120 --> 01:39:05.540
<v Heather>They play the role well, but like it's so stupid.

01:39:05.620 --> 01:39:12.420
<v Heather>It's like, it was like, it was like the Conjuring already kind of moved to like a haunted house.

01:39:12.420 --> 01:39:12.820
<v Scott>Right?

01:39:12.820 --> 01:39:15.000
<v Heather>And this was just like a haunted house with cameos.

01:39:15.000 --> 01:39:17.260
<v Heather>Like it was, remember the nun?

01:39:17.260 --> 01:39:18.620
<v Heather>Oh yeah, I remember.

01:39:18.620 --> 01:39:21.080
<v Scott>I remember that.

01:39:21.080 --> 01:39:23.740
<v Heather>It was so, and like, yeah.

01:39:23.760 --> 01:39:25.980
<v Heather>And of course, like, there's always like this demon.

01:39:25.980 --> 01:39:29.560
<v Heather>The demon's always like, no, this demon's different this time.

01:39:29.560 --> 01:39:30.580
<v Heather>It's like the same demon.

01:39:30.580 --> 01:39:32.660
<v Heather>This is the nun recreated.

01:39:33.160 --> 01:39:38.980
<v Heather>Like, I'm pretty sure like it's the nun that shows up in Annabelle, that shows up in like La Nora or whatever, or it shows up in here.

01:39:38.980 --> 01:39:41.000
<v Heather>Like it's just the same fucking demon.

01:39:41.000 --> 01:39:43.000
<v Heather>This recreates it everywhere.

01:39:43.000 --> 01:39:45.780
<v Scott>Yeah, because you were telling me about this one, and I'm just like, yeah, I'm good.

01:39:46.140 --> 01:39:50.780
<v Scott>I already refused to watch part three and refused to watch this one, so I'm good.

01:39:50.780 --> 01:39:52.460
<v Heather>Yeah, you didn't miss anything.

01:39:52.460 --> 01:39:56.340
<v Heather>So that makes me up to 98 watches because I forgot those other films.

01:39:56.340 --> 01:39:59.480
<v Scott>All right, you're almost there.

01:39:59.480 --> 01:40:00.880
<v Heather>Two off of 100, baby.

01:40:01.460 --> 01:40:02.180
<v Heather>Gotta watch Mr.

01:40:02.180 --> 01:40:04.580
<v Heather>Osberg and his mindfuck next.

01:40:04.580 --> 01:40:06.480
<v Scott>Oh, yeah, the keeper.

01:40:06.480 --> 01:40:07.940
<v Heather>Right?

01:40:07.940 --> 01:40:11.560
<v Heather>So the only other thing to add, oh, yeah, and Conjuring is available for rent on all the platforms.

01:40:11.560 --> 01:40:23.140
<v Heather>If you decide, if you're a Conjuring completist and you want to watch the rest of these films, just prepare for some fucking cheesy haunted house fucking paranormal, stupid, over-the-top cameo from Demon's Shit.

01:40:23.140 --> 01:40:25.560
<v Heather>That's welcome to the Conjuring Four.

01:40:27.660 --> 01:40:29.200
<v Heather>You're so smart for giving them up, Scott.

01:40:29.260 --> 01:40:30.900
<v Scott>They really aren't.

01:40:30.900 --> 01:40:32.060
<v Heather>Yeah, they're not good.

01:40:32.060 --> 01:40:36.260
<v Scott>Like I say, I don't like those characters.

01:40:36.260 --> 01:40:37.940
<v Scott>They are con artists.

01:40:37.940 --> 01:40:39.340
<v Heather>They are con artists, right?

01:40:39.340 --> 01:40:41.700
<v Heather>And again, this is nothing towards the actors.

01:40:41.700 --> 01:40:42.080
<v Scott>No.

01:40:42.080 --> 01:40:42.880
<v Heather>The actors do a great job.

01:40:42.880 --> 01:40:44.040
<v Scott>Just the actual people.

01:40:44.040 --> 01:40:45.180
<v Heather>People, for fuck's sakes.

01:40:45.180 --> 01:40:46.900
<v Heather>Anyway, hopefully this is the last one.

01:40:46.900 --> 01:40:48.800
<v Heather>They painted it that it should be.

01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:50.380
<v Heather>This should be the end.

01:40:50.380 --> 01:40:52.660
<v Heather>At least of them, like at least of their story.

01:40:52.660 --> 01:40:54.340
<v Heather>They're supposed to all be fucking retired now.

01:40:54.340 --> 01:40:57.000
<v Heather>Their daughter got married and her fucking husband signed up.

01:40:57.300 --> 01:40:59.480
<v Heather>And I'm sure her daughter watched the movie and was like, this isn't my life.

01:40:59.480 --> 01:41:01.460
<v Heather>What the fuck are you talking about?

01:41:01.460 --> 01:41:03.860
<v Heather>Anyway, some other things.

01:41:03.860 --> 01:41:08.900
<v Heather>I've been on some ghost walks back when I went to England.

01:41:08.900 --> 01:41:09.100
<v Scott>What?

01:41:09.100 --> 01:41:10.060
<v Scott>You were in England?

01:41:10.060 --> 01:41:10.780
<v Heather>I know.

01:41:10.780 --> 01:41:11.920
<v Scott>You don't say.

01:41:11.920 --> 01:41:12.820
<v Heather>It was like forever ago.

01:41:12.820 --> 01:41:16.480
<v Heather>Poor Mark's waiting for me to talk about this story because he was on the tour with me.

01:41:16.480 --> 01:41:19.180
<v Heather>He's like, you're never gonna get to that.

01:41:19.180 --> 01:41:21.520
<v Heather>So I booked tickets for this paranormal tour.

01:41:21.520 --> 01:41:23.420
<v Heather>It was at a castle, in all fairness.

01:41:23.420 --> 01:41:25.880
<v Heather>So like, you know, it is freaky, right?

01:41:26.020 --> 01:41:29.560
<v Scott>Well, I was gonna say, just in general, just taking a tour of a castle is fucking awesome.

01:41:29.560 --> 01:41:31.100
<v Scott>Whether it's ghost related or not.

01:41:31.100 --> 01:41:31.760
<v Heather>Yeah, right.

01:41:31.760 --> 01:41:36.200
<v Heather>So, well, it was, it started at the castle, it was outside the castle, but it was around the general area.

01:41:36.200 --> 01:41:38.040
<v Heather>And I've been in the castle before anyway, I digress.

01:41:38.040 --> 01:41:49.820
<v Heather>So telling all these stories, and of course, they're all like, fucking tragic, like horrible, like, ah, this woman was killed, and there were all her kids, and you know, these people were tortured, and this is where they burned the witches or drowned them.

01:41:49.820 --> 01:41:51.920
<v Heather>Like, it was all like fucked shit, right?

01:41:51.920 --> 01:41:56.820
<v Heather>You know, and then like the tour guide would be like, I dare you to call out the murderer's name, right?

01:41:56.820 --> 01:41:59.940
<v Heather>Or, that's the place where the woman was hanged, right?

01:41:59.940 --> 01:42:00.200
<v Heather>Right.

01:42:00.200 --> 01:42:01.100
<v Heather>Right.

01:42:01.660 --> 01:42:03.000
<v Heather>So we get to the castle part, okay?

01:42:03.000 --> 01:42:08.420
<v Heather>So we're going on the outside of the castle, and we go inside, and we're in like, I don't know, we'll see the courtyard for sake of argument.

01:42:08.420 --> 01:42:18.120
<v Heather>And he's like, oh, the lord that lived here, he was horrible, he would murder folks, and he would, you know, do experiments on them, and throw them in pits, and make them suffer, and then pull them out of the pits, and do more surgeries.

01:42:18.120 --> 01:42:20.380
<v Heather>Like, just a real piece of shit, dude, right?

01:42:20.380 --> 01:42:21.140
<v Heather>I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah.

01:42:21.140 --> 01:42:23.040
<v Heather>He's like, and we're gonna call the woman tonight.

01:42:23.140 --> 01:42:27.820
<v Heather>And he brings out fucking, like, his electrometer reader, right?

01:42:27.820 --> 01:42:28.840
<v Scott>Oh, boy.

01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:29.160
<v Heather>Yeah.

01:42:29.540 --> 01:42:32.120
<v Heather>And I said, so he's like, we're gonna call the woman.

01:42:32.120 --> 01:42:33.900
<v Heather>He pulls up the reader, and I'm like, why?

01:42:33.900 --> 01:42:34.900
<v Heather>Why would we do that?

01:42:34.900 --> 01:42:36.460
<v Heather>And he was like, because it's a ghost tour.

01:42:36.460 --> 01:42:40.740
<v Heather>I'm like, so I stepped out of the circle, because I do believe in this shit, right?

01:42:40.740 --> 01:42:41.400
<v Scott>Like, right.

01:42:41.400 --> 01:42:44.160
<v Heather>And I don't think you should be fucking around with evil spirits.

01:42:44.160 --> 01:42:45.080
<v Scott>No, I don't.

01:42:45.080 --> 01:42:46.640
<v Heather>So I step out of the circle.

01:42:46.640 --> 01:42:51.540
<v Heather>And of course, like, he starts calling to the fucking ghost, like, William, I don't fear you.

01:42:51.740 --> 01:42:53.600
<v Heather>Come to the show, it's your power, William.

01:42:53.600 --> 01:42:58.240
<v Heather>He's like, I've had people fall down because he shoved them in this and that and the other thing.

01:42:58.240 --> 01:43:02.940
<v Heather>Anyway, long story short, he focuses in with his electrometer on two ladies.

01:43:02.940 --> 01:43:05.660
<v Heather>He's like, you two are walking home together tonight, right?

01:43:05.660 --> 01:43:06.620
<v Heather>I guess he's like, good.

01:43:06.620 --> 01:43:06.940
<v Heather>I'm like, why?

01:43:06.940 --> 01:43:07.860
<v Heather>Because you're going to follow them?

01:43:07.860 --> 01:43:10.500
<v Heather>Because right now, you're the sleepiest thing here.

01:43:10.500 --> 01:43:11.000
<v Heather>You.

01:43:11.000 --> 01:43:15.100
<v Heather>So anyway, he said the ghost was on them or whatever.

01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:17.760
<v Heather>And again, I believe in this shit, right?

01:43:17.760 --> 01:43:19.860
<v Heather>So like, I'm like, what the fuck are you doing, right?

01:43:19.960 --> 01:43:22.600
<v Heather>So we're leaving and he's walking with me.

01:43:22.600 --> 01:43:26.040
<v Heather>And he's like, oh, because I had mentioned I was from Canada and I got on other ghost tours.

01:43:26.040 --> 01:43:29.720
<v Heather>And he's like, oh, so, you know, I have friends from Canada.

01:43:29.720 --> 01:43:30.480
<v Heather>I'm like, okay.

01:43:30.480 --> 01:43:33.060
<v Heather>And he's like, you know, sometimes you got to poke the bear.

01:43:33.060 --> 01:43:37.640
<v Heather>I'm like, if you had friends from Canada, they wouldn't know that you never poke a bear.

01:43:37.640 --> 01:43:38.240
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:43:38.240 --> 01:43:41.980
<v Heather>None of us go out poking bears, actually.

01:43:41.980 --> 01:43:43.040
<v Scott>That's how you die.

01:43:43.040 --> 01:43:43.620
<v Heather>Right.

01:43:43.620 --> 01:43:45.440
<v Heather>But I will say he was a good storyteller.

01:43:45.440 --> 01:43:46.540
<v Heather>He was entertaining.

01:43:46.540 --> 01:43:47.380
<v Heather>It was worth the money.

01:43:47.720 --> 01:43:54.800
<v Heather>So this ghost walk tour, if you're interested when you're in the city of Newcastle upon time, it is worth it.

01:43:54.800 --> 01:43:57.300
<v Heather>As much as I tease, he was entertaining.

01:43:57.300 --> 01:43:58.260
<v Heather>And you know what?

01:43:58.260 --> 01:44:03.340
<v Heather>For nine, for 10 pounds per person, that converts into about 20 bucks Canadian per person.

01:44:03.340 --> 01:44:03.880
<v Scott>It's not bad.

01:44:03.880 --> 01:44:04.780
<v Heather>It was worth it.

01:44:04.780 --> 01:44:06.180
<v Heather>It was worth it.

01:44:06.180 --> 01:44:11.340
<v Heather>I did another ghost tour here in Toronto, and we did it at the Black Creek Pioneer Village.

01:44:11.400 --> 01:44:18.260
<v Heather>Also, some great storytelling, some very good creepy things, beautiful pioneer areas to look at.

01:44:18.260 --> 01:44:22.000
<v Heather>Also, very, very good folklore and entertaining, you know?

01:44:22.000 --> 01:44:23.080
<v Heather>And I think that's the biggest thing.

01:44:23.080 --> 01:44:25.080
<v Heather>With these tours, you're looking to be entertained.

01:44:25.080 --> 01:44:25.320
<v Scott>Right.

01:44:26.220 --> 01:44:31.500
<v Scott>Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, you're still getting history.

01:44:31.500 --> 01:44:31.820
<v Heather>Right.

01:44:31.820 --> 01:44:32.720
<v Heather>And that's the thing.

01:44:32.720 --> 01:44:35.000
<v Heather>So it was well done.

01:44:35.000 --> 01:44:38.180
<v Heather>But that wraps it up for what other things I've been up to.

01:44:38.180 --> 01:44:40.920
<v Scott>Which we don't like to do around here anyways, wrap up.

01:44:40.980 --> 01:44:41.620
<v Scott>You know what I'm saying?

01:44:42.220 --> 01:44:43.320
<v Heather>No, we go in bare.

01:44:43.320 --> 01:44:44.080
<v Heather>We go in bareback.

01:44:44.080 --> 01:44:44.960
<v Scott>We do it raw.

01:44:44.960 --> 01:44:47.140
<v Heather>We do it raw.

01:44:47.140 --> 01:44:47.720
<v Heather>Not our problem.

01:44:47.720 --> 01:44:48.980
<v Heather>You get Prager's.

01:44:50.700 --> 01:44:52.120
<v Scott>Raw, no lube.

01:44:52.120 --> 01:44:52.860
<v Heather>Wrap, no lube.

01:44:52.860 --> 01:44:53.940
<v Heather>It's straight up.

01:44:53.940 --> 01:44:56.140
<v Heather>It's straight up here, Friday Nightmares.

01:44:58.540 --> 01:45:02.760
<v Heather>So thank you for sitting with us and waiting between episodes.

01:45:02.760 --> 01:45:08.100
<v Heather>The last time we recorded was in September because I went away and Scott was getting married and shit was too busy.

01:45:09.120 --> 01:45:12.400
<v Heather>We will be back again in December, probably towards the end of December.

01:45:12.400 --> 01:45:12.700
<v Scott>Yep.

01:45:12.700 --> 01:45:16.400
<v Heather>Because I don't know how many more movies I'm actually going to watch between now and then.

01:45:16.400 --> 01:45:16.940
<v Scott>I'm going to try.

01:45:16.940 --> 01:45:23.660
<v Scott>I still have at least a handful I want to get to, at least ones I definitely like to try watching beforehand.

01:45:23.660 --> 01:45:26.640
<v Scott>Just because I've heard good things and who knows where they might land.

01:45:26.640 --> 01:45:27.380
<v Heather>Hey, don't know.

01:45:27.380 --> 01:45:28.540
<v Heather>Don't try, don't get, right?

01:45:28.540 --> 01:45:29.040
<v Scott>Exactly.

01:45:29.040 --> 01:45:36.420
<v Heather>So we will be back for our final episode here of Friday Nightmares, which will I think be a little bit of a emotional one.

01:45:36.420 --> 01:45:36.620
<v Scott>Yeah.

01:45:36.760 --> 01:45:39.000
<v Heather>Um, but we know.

01:45:39.000 --> 01:45:39.940
<v Scott>It'll be bittersweet.

01:45:39.940 --> 01:45:43.200
<v Heather>It will be bittersweet, but the time has come.

01:45:43.200 --> 01:45:43.880
<v Heather>So if that-

01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:45.000
<v Scott>Just like me.

01:45:45.000 --> 01:45:47.720
<v Scott>Just like the guy.

01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:50.140
<v Heather>And we don't want to be like Black Phone 2.

01:45:50.700 --> 01:45:52.200
<v Scott>Yeah, we don't want to come too early.

01:45:52.200 --> 01:45:53.660
<v Scott>Oh, sorry.

01:45:53.660 --> 01:46:04.080
<v Heather>One last funny thing before we shout out Legion Patreon is I was watching, so back in September, I went, there's a band I follow, just a local bar band, and they said they were having their last show.

01:46:04.520 --> 01:46:09.680
<v Heather>So I went to their last show in September, there was all these people that were there, hugs, da-da-da.

01:46:09.680 --> 01:46:14.880
<v Heather>So I see that the guy who ran the band is going to play last night at a bar.

01:46:14.880 --> 01:46:17.460
<v Heather>I like to go to him, like, oh, he must just be playing with his wife, right?

01:46:17.460 --> 01:46:26.560
<v Heather>Like, they've given up the band, but they're just doing, I come in, and it's the band, but they replaced the drummer and the bassist, and they're playing all the same beat.

01:46:26.560 --> 01:46:27.580
<v Heather>So I tease them afterwards.

01:46:27.580 --> 01:46:32.660
<v Heather>I'm like, so what is this, like a situation where you were the Beatles, but now you're the wings with Paul McCartney?

01:46:32.780 --> 01:46:35.180
<v Heather>Like, I don't understand what's happened here, right?

01:46:35.180 --> 01:46:40.200
<v Heather>And then I thought about it, it'd be like me, like saying, oh yeah, we're done, we're done, we're done, we're done.

01:46:40.200 --> 01:46:43.520
<v Heather>And then I come back and like march.

01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:45.980
<v Scott>And I'm like, Friday Frights.

01:46:47.460 --> 01:46:52.360
<v Heather>And I like bring some person, and we talk about 2026 movies.

01:46:52.360 --> 01:46:56.160
<v Heather>And like for a new segment, we talk about like the best of 80s or something, right?

01:46:56.200 --> 01:46:58.200
<v Scott>Welcome, welcome to Saturday Dreams.

01:46:58.420 --> 01:47:02.040
<v Heather>Welcome to Friday Frights and Saturday Dreams.

01:47:02.060 --> 01:47:03.660
<v Heather>People are like, this is Friday.

01:47:03.660 --> 01:47:05.200
<v Heather>I'm like, no, no.

01:47:06.820 --> 01:47:07.660
<v Scott>We're retired.

01:47:07.660 --> 01:47:09.440

<v Scott>I mean, maybe.

01:47:25.840 --> 01:47:27.160
<v Heather>Well, not for me anyway.

01:47:27.200 --> 01:47:29.940
<v Heather>Scott may do it with Erica, and he'll replace me.

01:47:29.940 --> 01:47:31.300
<v Scott>Oh, yeah, I'll do it all right.

01:47:31.300 --> 01:47:32.900
