WEBVTT 00:00:17.067 --> 00:00:22.487 Hello there, podcast listeners, and welcome to the spookiest time of all, early November. 00:00:22.927 --> 00:00:38.147 The store aisles are filled with Christmas decorations, even though you haven't settled on the least objectionable family members to spend Thanksgiving with, and there's that nip in the air that says you'll probably be fantasizing about drinking while the kids tell you all about how much money you'll be spending at Christmas. 00:00:38.627 --> 00:00:41.727 It's a veritable November wonderland, a Novemberland. 00:00:42.447 --> 00:00:51.287 But while your soul withers inside your body, we offer a way to fight back against the encroaching existential darkness, a podcast we call Pick Six Movies. 00:00:51.667 --> 00:00:54.407 And how does this podcast serve as a balm to the soul? 00:00:54.767 --> 00:00:55.587 Well, clock this. 00:00:55.907 --> 00:01:01.847 Every season, we pick six movies based on a central theme, and then we spin a yarn and then make fun of it. 00:01:02.287 --> 00:01:11.727 The whole thing only takes about two hours, and we find it offers at least one moment each episode where you can feel superior to your host, Chad, my old pal, and Bo, that's me. 00:01:12.547 --> 00:01:16.387 This season is season 22, and we call it Deja-U. 00:01:16.907 --> 00:01:27.027 We're doing a six pack of inferior remakes to classic horror films, and this one may be the inferiorest of all, 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street. 00:01:27.447 --> 00:01:36.527 There's bad makeup, bad CGI, sleepy acting, and lots of reminders that the original was really good while slogging through this hapless retread. 00:01:36.867 --> 00:01:44.347 So kick back and relax, remind yourself that you're a valuable member of human society, and while away another couple of hours with your old pals. 00:01:44.907 --> 00:01:46.947 So Chad, let's do this. 00:01:48.007 --> 00:01:51.027 All right, we are back in the studio with Garrett, the intern. 00:01:51.207 --> 00:01:55.467 And Garrett, we are recording this introduction on Halloween day. 00:01:55.487 --> 00:01:59.027 Can you believe you have to work on Halloween day, Garrett, the intern? 00:01:59.507 --> 00:02:05.527 Such a big day for people like you, big horror movie fans, all that spooky stuff going on around your world there, Garrett. 00:02:06.127 --> 00:02:08.427 Garrett, you got big plans for Halloween later tonight, Garrett? 00:02:11.147 --> 00:02:11.727 For what? 00:02:14.547 --> 00:02:15.867 Your neighbors are cool with that? 00:02:17.087 --> 00:02:18.647 Oh, you live in an apartment, okay. 00:02:19.327 --> 00:02:20.847 You think the cops are gonna be cool with it? 00:02:23.127 --> 00:02:35.087 Well, you know, this episode won't come out until after Halloween, so I will look forward to hearing about your tricks and treats when we meet up again after you get out of jail for doing all of that stuff. 00:02:35.447 --> 00:02:38.527 All right, we are recording the intro to A Nightmare on Elm Street. 00:02:38.547 --> 00:02:42.187 Quick, Garrett, who wins in a bare-knuckle knife fight, Wolverine or Freddy Krueger? 00:02:42.267 --> 00:02:42.847 Come on, Garrett. 00:02:46.087 --> 00:02:52.847 No, I did not know that there was an epic rap battle between Freddy Krueger and Wolverine on YouTube, Garrett. 00:02:52.947 --> 00:02:53.927 Thank you for sharing that with me. 00:02:53.947 --> 00:02:57.607 You know what I'm gonna do, Garrett, after we finish recording this introduction? 00:02:58.527 --> 00:03:03.647 That's right, Garrett, I'm not gonna go watch that epic rap battle between Freddy Krueger and Wolverine. 00:03:03.747 --> 00:03:04.867 You're getting my vibe now. 00:03:05.007 --> 00:03:06.047 Let me ask you this, Garrett. 00:03:06.067 --> 00:03:11.107 Did you know that the Cambodian genocide was responsible for the creation of Freddy Krueger? 00:03:11.127 --> 00:03:12.987 Ha ha ha ha! 00:03:13.187 --> 00:03:18.147 Finally, something Garrett the Intern, who knows everything about horror movies, doesn't know about this horror movie. 00:03:18.287 --> 00:03:25.207 Garrett, lay down some appropriate music for me to share how Freddy Krueger came to be a horror movie icon. 00:03:26.367 --> 00:03:38.087 From 1975 to 1979, Marxist dictator Pol Pot ruled Cambodia in an attempt to create a master race that led to the deaths of over 2 million people in Cambodia. 00:03:38.347 --> 00:03:45.807 Many people were executed because they weren't down with Pol Pot's means of running the country or they die from starvation or disease. 00:03:46.127 --> 00:03:59.047 Roland Joppie's Oscar award-winning film, The Killing Fields, told the story of this time period and it's based on the experiences of two journalists, Cambodian Dith Pran and American Sydney Schoenberg. 00:03:59.047 --> 00:04:06.707 Pol Pot's rise to power was rooted in a communist insurgency that took hold during the 1960s when the country was still ruled by a monarchy. 00:04:06.827 --> 00:04:13.487 The Khmer Rouge was a brutal regime that was an armed extension of the communist party in Cambodia. 00:04:13.667 --> 00:04:24.107 A military coup in the 70s kicked out the monarch and then the Khmer Rouge hooked up with the deposed leader of the monarch in an effort to bolster support from the people of Cambodia. 00:04:24.247 --> 00:04:33.887 This led to a five-year civil war with the military fighting the Khmer Rouge, who eventually won the war, but decided not to restore power to the deposed prince. 00:04:34.147 --> 00:04:40.727 Who gave them all their street cred earlier and instead turned power over to the aforementioned Pol Pot. 00:04:40.827 --> 00:04:51.147 First order of business was to rename Cambodia to Campuchia and set up a communist agricultural utopia, joining the rural farms with the urban cities. 00:04:51.467 --> 00:04:57.767 Pol Pot also reset the calendar to year zero and he isolated the country from the rest of planet earth. 00:04:58.847 --> 00:05:00.907 What could possibly go right with this plan? 00:05:01.447 --> 00:05:11.827 Next, Pol Pot resettled thousands of people who lived in the cities to farming communes and he outlawed money and ownership of private property and religion. 00:05:12.107 --> 00:05:14.847 And this went about as well as you'd expect. 00:05:14.987 --> 00:05:21.047 All these city folk working on farms started dying due to being overworked and having a lack of food. 00:05:21.147 --> 00:05:26.627 Enemies of the state were executed, including intellectuals or potential leaders of a revolution. 00:05:26.967 --> 00:05:35.027 Now, supposedly they killed people that even appeared to be intellectuals, including folks who wore glasses or could speak more than one language. 00:05:35.467 --> 00:05:38.867 With life in Cambodia being so awful, people did what you'd expect them to do. 00:05:39.087 --> 00:05:39.727 They left. 00:05:40.047 --> 00:05:50.627 And among those leaving Cambodia, many of them found themselves immigrants in the United States, including not only people fleeing Cambodia, but also Laos and Vietnam, who had their own troubles going on at the time. 00:05:50.907 --> 00:05:55.547 And once in the United States, something unexpected happened to some of these immigrants. 00:05:56.087 --> 00:06:00.367 Reports of Asian refugees dying in their sleep began to increase. 00:06:00.787 --> 00:06:10.047 At the time, the medical community dubbed the condition as Asian Death Syndrome, and it mostly impacted men from their early 20s to their late 50s. 00:06:10.927 --> 00:06:12.247 That pretty much covers most men. 00:06:12.507 --> 00:06:15.267 Anyway, researchers did what they do. 00:06:15.447 --> 00:06:32.747 They researched and they figured out that the cause of these men showing up dead in the morning after falling asleep was caused by Bregatta Syndrome, a condition where the electrical activity of the heart gets all out of sorts and causes sudden cardiac death, oftentimes when the body is at rest. 00:06:33.087 --> 00:06:44.107 It's a genetic condition that is more prominent in Asian men, which received more attention due to the increased immigration stemming from the genocide in Cambodia that Pol Pot built. 00:06:44.387 --> 00:06:54.607 This rise in death from this mysterious condition showed up in a few small articles in the Los Angeles Times and they caught the eye of a rising filmmaker named Wes Craven and inspiration took root. 00:06:54.987 --> 00:06:58.367 Wes Craven started out teaching humanities in upstate New York. 00:06:58.627 --> 00:07:01.967 He wrote fiction and tried to get his work published, but that didn't go anywhere. 00:07:02.227 --> 00:07:05.707 Craven moved to New York and he got a job working with Sean Cunningham. 00:07:05.907 --> 00:07:09.307 Please see episode 2 of this season to hear more on Mr. 00:07:09.327 --> 00:07:13.427 Cunningham's career and how he was the guy that brought us Friday the 13th. 00:07:13.567 --> 00:07:29.147 Wes Craven worked with Cunningham on some low budget films and they were able to get enough financial backing for Craven to make the film Last House on the Left, a horror movie that Garrett the Intern has seen multiple times because he's a lovable weirdo according to the t-shirt that he's wearing right now. 00:07:29.447 --> 00:07:31.407 And no, Garrett, please don't order me one. 00:07:31.527 --> 00:07:35.067 I'd be so embarrassed if we both wore that to work on the same day. 00:07:35.647 --> 00:07:40.367 Wes Craven got to make a second movie, The Hills Have Eyes, and he got some positive feedback. 00:07:40.587 --> 00:07:43.607 He did some work in television, then he directed the film Swamp Thing. 00:07:43.787 --> 00:07:51.147 And you can listen to season 5, episode 2 for more on that movie's sequel, but in the introduction, we talk a lot about Wes Craven and Swamp Thing. 00:07:51.347 --> 00:07:58.027 Now, Swamp Thing is a delightful adaptation of the DC Comics character, and it's this low-budget movie that made no money. 00:07:58.307 --> 00:08:03.527 And since it made no money, Craven was out on his ass and couldn't get work for three years. 00:08:03.887 --> 00:08:05.287 What did he do to fill that time? 00:08:05.327 --> 00:08:08.227 Well, Wes Craven smoked weed, and he did cocaine. 00:08:08.647 --> 00:08:16.727 Then eventually, he decided to get his shit together, and he wrote a new movie script based on some newspaper articles he read in the Los Angeles Times. 00:08:17.247 --> 00:08:26.247 In an interview with vulture.com, Craven recounted how he read about this family that escaped the killing fields of Cambodia and made their way to the United States. 00:08:26.707 --> 00:08:34.347 One of the sons in the family started having nightmares, and he was afraid that if he fell asleep, that something chasing him in his dreams would catch him and kill him. 00:08:34.807 --> 00:08:36.607 All the grownups dismissed his worries. 00:08:36.947 --> 00:08:44.167 The son struggled to stay awake for days at a time, but he eventually fell asleep, and the family heard him screaming at night. 00:08:44.367 --> 00:08:47.467 They rushed in to see what was going on, and he was dead. 00:08:48.127 --> 00:08:53.407 A young man having nightmares, dying in his sleep, hey, that's a great idea for a screenplay. 00:08:53.647 --> 00:08:54.867 It kind of writes itself. 00:08:55.147 --> 00:08:58.727 Well, actually, Wes Craven kind of writes it himself. 00:09:00.627 --> 00:09:15.567 At the time, New Line Cinemas was a distributor of movies to college campuses after finding success in introducing the movie Reefer Madness to undergraduates at universities across the United States who were very interested in smoking marijuana. 00:09:16.147 --> 00:09:19.107 New Line decided to start making their own low-budget horror movies. 00:09:19.447 --> 00:09:34.787 Bob Shane was the owner of New Line Cinemas, and Wes Craven pitched his idea for a movie to Shane, who loved it, even though every other studio in Hollywood had rejected the idea of a movie about a killer attacking people while they slept. 00:09:35.267 --> 00:09:42.367 Craven got an initial budget of $700,000, but that escalated to a whopping $1.1 million. 00:09:42.487 --> 00:09:50.967 Investors one by one backed out during pre-production of the film with half the money coming from a Yugoslavian investor who just wanted his girlfriend to be a movie star. 00:09:51.207 --> 00:09:51.867 Don't we all? 00:09:52.347 --> 00:09:56.727 Craven's story would differentiate itself from the hulking slashers of the day. 00:09:56.747 --> 00:09:58.187 You're Jason Voorhees's. 00:09:58.427 --> 00:09:59.887 You're Michael Myers's. 00:10:00.107 --> 00:10:01.847 You're Leatherface's. 00:10:02.307 --> 00:10:12.607 This new villain, Freddy Krueger, as he would be named, would stalk and threaten his victims, having more in common with Dracula than the lumberjack and lumbering Frankenstein's is. 00:10:13.227 --> 00:10:18.047 To play this new character, Wes Craven cast an up-and-coming actor named Robert England. 00:10:18.467 --> 00:10:24.987 England had gained notoriety as an alien in the NBC miniseries V, which was picked up for a full series. 00:10:25.407 --> 00:10:31.407 England auditioned for the movie as an opportunity to get some work while the show was on break, and it fit his schedule. 00:10:31.527 --> 00:10:37.967 Craven said he ultimately cast England because he had the ferocity to actually be mean to children. 00:10:38.047 --> 00:10:42.267 Now, to fill out the rest of the cast, Craven tapped Heather Lenkincap to play Nancy. 00:10:42.327 --> 00:10:47.427 At the time, she was a freshman at Stanford, and she had done some television and commercial work in the past. 00:10:47.927 --> 00:10:53.087 Veteran actors John Saxton and Ronnie Blakely played Nancy's parents. 00:10:53.447 --> 00:11:00.507 Saxton had a long career in television and film, and Blakely had an Oscar nomination for her part in Robert Altman's film Nashville. 00:11:00.667 --> 00:11:03.207 Everybody else were pretty much complete unknowns. 00:11:03.627 --> 00:11:11.447 Actor Nick Corey, not his real name, well, at the time, he was homeless, and he was also doing a bunch of heroin, especially during the filming of the movie. 00:11:11.527 --> 00:11:15.327 Admittedly, he was high in the scene where he talks with Nancy from the jail cell. 00:11:15.367 --> 00:11:21.707 They originally wanted Charlie Sheen, but why would you pay top dollar for a drug addicted actor when you don't have to? 00:11:21.927 --> 00:11:25.587 Jeff Levine, who you never heard of, played the coroner in this movie. 00:11:25.747 --> 00:11:26.887 Now, why is that important? 00:11:26.987 --> 00:11:33.267 Well, it was Levine who went to Wes Craven and said, Hey, I got this friend in town and he's got a band, but he wants to get into the movies. 00:11:33.467 --> 00:11:34.947 His name is Johnny Depp. 00:11:35.327 --> 00:11:36.247 Never heard of him. 00:11:36.947 --> 00:11:43.667 Craven got Depp's headshot, took it home with a bunch of other headshots and showed him to his daughter and her friends and said, Hey, who would you pick? 00:11:43.927 --> 00:11:48.347 And they unanimously said, Ah, Johnny Depp. 00:11:48.627 --> 00:11:54.627 And this was the first time that Depp would appear in any movie as the love interest of the last girl standing, Nancy. 00:11:54.927 --> 00:12:04.087 The plot of Nightmare on Elm Street centers around Freddie Krueger, who was a child murderer and he killed 20 kids in and around the greater Springwood, Ohio area. 00:12:04.307 --> 00:12:08.347 The case goes to court, but wouldn't you know it, Freddie Krueger gets off on a technicality. 00:12:08.447 --> 00:12:14.907 So all the area moms and dads whip up a fresh batch of mob justice and they burn Freddie Krueger alive until he's dead. 00:12:14.967 --> 00:12:22.787 So Freddie Krueger returns in the dreams of the children to kill these kids to get back at the parents who killed Freddie Krueger because he allegedly killed all those other kids. 00:12:23.027 --> 00:12:24.007 It's a vicious cycle. 00:12:24.347 --> 00:12:32.287 In the movie, most of the kids are pretty well adjusted, well, except for the inexplicable nightmares and the effects that they suffer by a shadow man who wants to kill them. 00:12:32.667 --> 00:12:34.987 It's the parents who are a real mess in this movie. 00:12:35.207 --> 00:12:40.327 Booze, pills, divorce, lies, screaming, baseless accusations. 00:12:40.627 --> 00:12:44.607 There are bars put on the house to keep the teenagers inside at one point. 00:12:44.787 --> 00:12:46.987 It sounds like Thanksgiving growing up in my home. 00:12:47.407 --> 00:12:51.267 And thematically, the story is really about children paying for the sins of their parents. 00:12:51.867 --> 00:12:57.087 Wes Craven said that the original character of Freddie Krueger was to be a child molester, not a child murderer. 00:12:57.247 --> 00:13:04.927 However, some high profile cases in Los Angeles at the time dealing with child molestation led to Craven adjusting the villain's backstory. 00:13:05.307 --> 00:13:18.387 Craven decked out his original villain in a signature olive green and red sweater because Craven read an article in Scientific American that noted that the pairing of these two particular colors were the most difficult for the human eye to perceive correctly. 00:13:18.747 --> 00:13:25.047 This sweater was intended to make audiences consistently feel discomfort when looking at the nightmarish Krueger. 00:13:25.467 --> 00:13:31.407 Craven also wanted to distinguish his bad guy from all of the other big screen bad guys killing teenagers left and right. 00:13:31.587 --> 00:13:37.947 Machetes, chainsaws, brute force, all of these had been taken by these modern day cinematic monsters. 00:13:38.227 --> 00:13:43.867 Craven wanted something more delicate and he thought, hey, how about steak knives, but on a glove? 00:13:44.047 --> 00:13:48.427 He went to his special effects guy Jim Doyle, bing bang boom, we got a glove with knives. 00:13:48.827 --> 00:13:58.567 The movie was shot in just over a month in the summer of 1984 in Los Angeles, California, which is why you see palm trees appearing in Springwood, Ohio, the city where the movie is supposed to take place. 00:13:58.687 --> 00:14:04.907 The filmmakers didn't have much of a budget and the movie improvised and utilized every ounce of creativity to get the movie made. 00:14:05.207 --> 00:14:17.267 Craven wanted a fantastic death at the beginning of the movie to hook the audience, so the crew built a rotating room with all of the items nailed down and a cameraman strapped into a seat against the opposite wall. 00:14:17.607 --> 00:14:29.167 Crew members rotated the room around, while the actress playing Tina would roll around the rotating room appearing to get dragged across the walls and ceiling to find gravity. 00:14:29.207 --> 00:14:36.967 This effect was first used in 1951's Royal Wedding, where Fred Astaire danced from the floor to the walls to the ceiling of a room. 00:14:37.027 --> 00:14:42.847 The effect was also famously used in 2001's A Space Odyssey and in Tobey Hooper's Poltergeist. 00:14:42.967 --> 00:14:48.487 The filmmakers reused this exact same set for the death of Johnny Depp's character, Glenn. 00:14:48.747 --> 00:14:56.887 They flipped the bedroom upside down and decided to pour a flood of red water simulating blood out of a hole cut into the bed. 00:14:56.947 --> 00:15:05.667 When it was filmed upside down to look right side up, this produced the effect that blood was exploding out of the bed and pooling on the ceiling. 00:15:05.827 --> 00:15:07.227 They had to get this in one shot. 00:15:07.447 --> 00:15:21.167 Craven called action, the crew dumped the gallons of water in, it poured down or maybe up depending upon how you were looking in the shot and it immediately began to settle around the light fixtures on the floor or ceiling of the room. 00:15:21.467 --> 00:15:22.127 You know what I mean. 00:15:22.467 --> 00:15:29.907 And this mixture of water and electricity came together, causing one crew member to actually get electrocuted. 00:15:30.267 --> 00:15:37.067 Also, the weight of all of this red water shifted to one side of the room and the crew operating the set lost control. 00:15:37.227 --> 00:15:43.607 The room rolled completely over, ripping up cables and ropes and rigging, sending sparks flying into the dark. 00:15:43.647 --> 00:15:50.847 The blood water poured out onto the floor, out of the windows, all over the crew who struggled to gain control of the situation. 00:15:51.087 --> 00:15:56.387 Now, luckily, nobody was seriously hurt or at least that's what they told their insurance company. 00:15:56.987 --> 00:16:04.147 The scene where Nancy is attacked in the bathtub was accomplished by building a bathroom set over a swimming pool. 00:16:04.347 --> 00:16:08.007 The melting staircase was done by using pancake mix. 00:16:08.207 --> 00:16:12.067 The illusion of Freddy Krueger coming through the walls was done using spandex. 00:16:12.307 --> 00:16:18.627 And all of these memorable moments from the movie, A Nightmare on Elm Street, were all practical effects. 00:16:18.647 --> 00:16:22.907 They were low tech, special effects, and they looked amazing. 00:16:22.967 --> 00:16:26.087 Sure, they almost killed a couple of people, but they looked amazing. 00:16:26.307 --> 00:16:33.667 Craven included a shot of Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead as payback for Raimi featuring the Hills Have Eyes in the movie The Evil Dead. 00:16:33.847 --> 00:16:43.027 Then Raimi paid Craven back by featuring the Freddy Krueger glove in the work shed in The Evil Dead 2 as well as in Ash vs. 00:16:43.087 --> 00:16:43.767 Evil Dead. 00:16:43.947 --> 00:16:58.867 Sean Cunningham came in and helped with some second film unit shooting for some dream sequences, and all of this shows how this group of rising horror movie makers had each other's back to some degree in the effort to make new and innovative scary movies at the time. 00:16:59.107 --> 00:17:03.287 The movie hit theaters the same year it was shot, November 9, 1984. 00:17:03.707 --> 00:17:07.207 Why wouldn't you release this a couple weeks earlier before Halloween? 00:17:07.267 --> 00:17:07.987 That is so weird. 00:17:08.367 --> 00:17:14.307 When it came out, critics complimented Wes Craven on creating a brand new monster myth. 00:17:14.667 --> 00:17:31.427 Craven was out of his slump with the invention of this new Boogeyman of Your Dreams, and the limitations of their budget actually worked in the favor of the filmmakers as critics and audiences alike felt that the camerawork and practical effects elevated the movie in more technical and imaginative ways. 00:17:31.947 --> 00:17:40.867 The ending of the movie was dinged for being a little lackluster, but Wes Craven and his team, they went through quite a few endings to land on a finale for the film. 00:17:40.967 --> 00:17:45.167 And this pseudo dream sequence was really the best of the bunch. 00:17:45.387 --> 00:17:53.847 The original Nightmare on Elm Street has a 95% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is praised for being original, intelligent and horrifying. 00:17:53.947 --> 00:17:56.407 Budget for the film, $1.1 million. 00:17:56.727 --> 00:18:00.307 Box office haul, $57 million. 00:18:00.567 --> 00:18:04.807 Garrett the Intern, when a movie makes that much money, what happens next? 00:18:05.687 --> 00:18:08.027 That's right, Garrett, you get a sequel. 00:18:11.627 --> 00:18:14.627 Nightmare on Elm Street put New Line Cinemas on the map. 00:18:14.647 --> 00:18:16.907 It was the studio that Freddy Krueger built. 00:18:17.167 --> 00:18:25.147 The success of Nightmare on Elm Street and its sequels led to the company producing the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. 00:18:25.307 --> 00:18:28.147 They struck gold again with the Blair Witch Project. 00:18:28.347 --> 00:18:30.207 Now, what do all these movies have in common? 00:18:30.207 --> 00:18:34.367 Well, the originals are pretty good and all of the sequels, they stunk. 00:18:34.587 --> 00:18:38.087 That was especially true for Nightmare on Elm Street 2, Freddy's Revenge. 00:18:38.427 --> 00:18:46.987 Wes Craven was not involved in this project and it was rushed into production to hit theaters one year after the original in 1995. 00:18:47.167 --> 00:18:53.207 This sequel focuses on a male lead character named Jesse, who moves into Nancy's house from the first movie. 00:18:53.227 --> 00:19:15.807 The sequel is described by some commentators as being the most homoerotic film to date when released due in part to scenes where the male hero Jesse meets up with his gym teacher at a fetish club and later sees that same gym teacher tied up naked in the school gym showers where an invisible towel whips the gym teacher's ass while Jesse watches. 00:19:16.107 --> 00:19:22.207 Garrett the Intern and horror movie expert is Nightmare on Elm Street 2, Freddy's Revenge, a movie filled with homoerotic subtext. 00:19:23.207 --> 00:19:25.727 Garrett says absolutely and I'm going with Garrett on this one. 00:19:25.907 --> 00:19:29.487 Robert Englund returned for the sequel, but not because producers wanted to pay him. 00:19:29.487 --> 00:19:35.127 They considered just putting some rando in a rubber mask to save a buck or two, but they quickly realized that won't work. 00:19:35.407 --> 00:19:41.807 The movie comes out and it's a critical failure, but movie cost, three million bucks, movie made, 30 million bucks. 00:19:41.947 --> 00:19:45.967 So we're getting ourselves a part three and the return of Wes Craven. 00:19:46.267 --> 00:19:53.247 A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, Dream Warriors, was based on an idea from Wes Craven and fellow writer Bruce Wagner. 00:19:53.507 --> 00:19:55.887 This movie takes place in an insane asylum. 00:19:56.047 --> 00:19:59.547 Now, Nancy from the original movie, she's an intern therapist. 00:19:59.767 --> 00:20:02.567 Now, the movie came out 18 months after part two. 00:20:02.827 --> 00:20:07.007 It cost four million bucks to make and pulled in 44 million dollars. 00:20:07.307 --> 00:20:09.147 Producers said, let it ride. 00:20:09.407 --> 00:20:11.687 Let's get us a part four in the franchise. 00:20:11.827 --> 00:20:18.507 And so we got Nightmare on Elm Street, The Dream Master, which hit theaters a year and a half after part three. 00:20:18.607 --> 00:20:29.287 This movie was directed by Reddy Harlan, you know, the guy who would go on to direct Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, Cutthroat Island, all movies featured on this very podcast. 00:20:29.347 --> 00:20:31.567 This movie was mostly well reviewed. 00:20:31.747 --> 00:20:34.507 It cost six million bucks and it made 50. 00:20:34.807 --> 00:20:38.067 The producers said, hit me, we're making a part five. 00:20:38.407 --> 00:20:45.847 Nightmare on Elm Street Five, The Dream Child, landed in theaters on December 20th, 1989, you know, for Christmas. 00:20:46.767 --> 00:20:53.887 Five movies in six years, and as popular as they were, audiences were starting to grow less interested in the franchise. 00:20:54.107 --> 00:20:56.687 The budget for part five, eight million bucks. 00:20:57.027 --> 00:20:59.627 Box office hall, 22 million. 00:21:00.987 --> 00:21:06.307 Throughout all of these movies, Robert England's performance of Freddy Krueger rocketed him to superstardom. 00:21:06.367 --> 00:21:09.147 He was the biggest horror movie star since Vincent Price. 00:21:09.327 --> 00:21:21.767 And starting with part two, Freddy Krueger, he started to workshop a little bit of his stand-up comedy routine, Crackin Wise with puns and wordplay, that would make the crypt keeper roll his eyes back into his skull. 00:21:22.147 --> 00:21:29.747 By the time we got to the sixth installment, Freddy's Dead, The Final Nightmare, at this point in the franchise, Freddy Krueger was a wise crackin wise guy. 00:21:29.887 --> 00:21:38.007 A personality characteristic that infected another horror icon of this era, the good guy doll turned bad guy doll, Chuckie. 00:21:38.267 --> 00:21:39.767 But more on that in a few weeks. 00:21:40.207 --> 00:21:47.547 With audiences showing reduced interest in the series, filmmakers said, that's it, Freddy Krueger is retiring, we are done, and we mean it. 00:21:47.707 --> 00:21:51.147 This is part six, The Final Nightmare. 00:21:51.147 --> 00:21:55.387 Put it in the vault, we are 100% committed, no more Freddy Krueger movies after this. 00:21:55.747 --> 00:22:06.247 New Line cinemas went so far as to hold a mock funeral for Freddy Krueger at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which was attended by shock rocker Alice Cooper, as well as much of the cast of the film. 00:22:06.347 --> 00:22:07.287 Well, that sounds fun. 00:22:07.487 --> 00:22:11.827 The mayor of Los Angeles declared September 13th to be Freddy Krueger Day. 00:22:12.027 --> 00:22:21.807 The movie even included a cameo from stand-up comedian, sitcom star and national anthem crooner Roseanne Barr and her then-husband Tom Arnold. 00:22:21.987 --> 00:22:25.827 Yeah, remember when they showed up in A Nightmare on Elm Street sequel? 00:22:26.387 --> 00:22:31.107 The movie comes out and it had a good opening weekend, but it just tanked after that. 00:22:31.387 --> 00:22:36.707 Critics noted that Freddy Krueger, the once terrifying dream reaper, was now just a goofy caricature. 00:22:36.947 --> 00:22:48.147 He devolved from horrific phantasm into an annoyingly predictable boogeyman that was actually loved by children in the real world, and they would dress up like him at Halloween and crack their own jokes. 00:22:48.467 --> 00:22:50.647 Freddy Krueger was done and done. 00:22:51.207 --> 00:22:53.727 Until three years later when Wes Craven said, I got an idea. 00:22:55.207 --> 00:22:59.807 Wes Craven's New Nightmare was a meta-slasher film written and directed by Craven. 00:22:59.867 --> 00:23:05.507 The movie is a standalone film, and it's not directly associated with all of the other Nightmare on Elm Street movies. 00:23:05.727 --> 00:23:11.147 It was to be more serious and less comical than all of the sequels, which is not too hard. 00:23:11.207 --> 00:23:23.547 The movie was about actual actors in the film industry portraying themselves, including Heather Lenkincap, who, if you've been paying attention, played Nancy in the original and in part three of this movie franchise. 00:23:23.607 --> 00:23:32.007 The movie had more to say than any of the other sequels, specifically to the effect of horror movies on those who create it and those who watch it. 00:23:32.107 --> 00:23:35.767 Now, some people loved the movie, some people did not love the movie. 00:23:35.967 --> 00:23:37.747 Total cost, eight million bucks. 00:23:38.007 --> 00:23:41.627 Box office hall, 19.8 million bucks. 00:23:42.007 --> 00:23:42.447 Yikes. 00:23:42.687 --> 00:23:43.527 But you know what? 00:23:43.767 --> 00:23:53.267 That's OK, because this movie was what set Wes Craven on a larger meta exploration of horror films in a little franchise called Scream. 00:23:53.547 --> 00:24:08.687 And Wes Craven's Scream really led to the approach where filmmakers were working to understand how horror movies existed across multiple levels, from those that write the films, make the films, star in the films and watch the films. 00:24:08.867 --> 00:24:16.787 And horror movies really became more self-aware, as if everybody was in on what was happening when it came to slasher movies and the tropes that they created. 00:24:17.247 --> 00:24:21.027 Freddy Krueger would return almost a decade later in Freddy vs. 00:24:21.087 --> 00:24:26.347 Jason in 2003, which did well enough, but not so well that more sequels were generated. 00:24:26.727 --> 00:24:27.827 At the end of Freddy vs. 00:24:28.087 --> 00:24:35.447 Jason, Jason Voorhees decapitates Freddy Krueger and holds up the severed head, which winks and laughs at the end. 00:24:35.607 --> 00:24:37.727 See, we're all having a good time, people. 00:24:38.067 --> 00:24:38.667 Now is it. 00:24:39.067 --> 00:24:42.967 Freddy Krueger left the building, head in one bag, body in another. 00:24:43.307 --> 00:24:44.927 Done and done. 00:24:45.127 --> 00:24:53.707 But then seven years later, the folks over at Platinum Dunes were injecting revitalization juice into every horror movie franchise from the 80s and 90s. 00:24:53.927 --> 00:25:03.927 A Nightmare on Elm Street was in their sights as an opportunity to reboot the franchise with a gritty, dark, new interpretation of this famous, frightening franchise. 00:25:04.107 --> 00:25:18.247 Michael Bay and all of the artisans at Platinum Dunes Production Company decided that having a reboot of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Amityville Horror and Friday the 13th, it was time to do the same thing with A Nightmare on Elm Street. 00:25:18.407 --> 00:25:20.627 Movie makers had two options when it came to the reboot. 00:25:20.707 --> 00:25:32.267 One option would be to try to merge together multiple of the original movies into one movie like they did with Friday the 13th, or base this movie on the original film like they did with The Amityville Horror. 00:25:32.447 --> 00:25:40.887 They opted for the latter as filmmakers acknowledged that Freddy Krueger was now a less scary horror movie monster with his incessant puns and sight gags. 00:25:41.307 --> 00:25:45.087 They went back to Wes Craven's original source material for inspiration. 00:25:45.247 --> 00:25:52.587 Somebody took a look at Craven's ideas for the series and said, Hey fellas, it says here that Freddy Krueger was supposed to be a child molester. 00:25:52.707 --> 00:25:53.787 Let's put that in the movie. 00:25:54.047 --> 00:25:56.847 And you know how Freddy Krueger was burned up by all them angry parents? 00:25:57.107 --> 00:26:01.907 Can we make it look, you know, more like a real burned victim all melty and kind of hard to look at? 00:26:02.107 --> 00:26:04.227 Everybody agreed these sound like great ideas. 00:26:04.327 --> 00:26:05.267 So that's what they did. 00:26:05.707 --> 00:26:15.527 To write the movie, they enlisted the talents of Leslie Stick, who wrote the screenplay for the 1991 remake of Cake Fear that starred Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte, among many others. 00:26:15.747 --> 00:26:22.527 And that made sense as he had experience adapting a classic movie into a more intense modern-day interpretation. 00:26:22.567 --> 00:26:24.847 His draft eventually made it to Eric Heiserer. 00:26:24.867 --> 00:26:26.627 This was his first screenplay. 00:26:26.647 --> 00:26:35.567 To make it to the big screen, he would eventually go on to write the prequel to The Thing, as well as that movie Bird Box starring Sandra Bullock that appeared over on Netflix. 00:26:35.827 --> 00:26:38.307 Samuel Bayer was selected to direct the movie. 00:26:38.327 --> 00:26:42.387 Bayer had a lengthy career in directing television commercials and music videos. 00:26:42.447 --> 00:26:49.707 He was behind the camera for famous music videos including Nirvana's Smell Like Teen Spirit and Blind Melon's No Rain. 00:26:49.747 --> 00:26:58.447 Michael Bay personally lobbied for Bayer to come behind the camera for the re-invention of Freddy Krueger for a new generation of moviegoers. 00:26:58.567 --> 00:27:02.227 Bayer originally did not want to do the job, but he eventually said yes. 00:27:02.427 --> 00:27:06.547 At the time of this recording, this is Bayer's one and only feature film. 00:27:06.567 --> 00:27:06.987 Uh oh. 00:27:07.147 --> 00:27:11.267 To play this new version of Freddy Krueger, filmmakers cast Jackie Earl Haley. 00:27:11.327 --> 00:27:18.447 Haley began his acting career at a very young age, appearing in the first three Bad News Bears movies as Bad Boy Kelly. 00:27:18.667 --> 00:27:31.327 He left acting and decided to direct television commercials for quite a while, and it was fellow acting bad boy Sean Penn who convinced Haley to return to acting, appearing alongside Penn in 2006 All the Kings Men. 00:27:31.347 --> 00:27:36.607 Following that, Haley appeared in the movie Little Children, where he played, guess what, a child molester. 00:27:36.867 --> 00:27:37.527 That's right. 00:27:37.887 --> 00:27:42.307 It should be noted that Haley's performance was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. 00:27:42.667 --> 00:27:44.747 Garrett the Intern, did you see Little Children? 00:27:46.027 --> 00:27:48.807 Yeah, that's the one where he cuts off his own dick at the end. 00:27:49.187 --> 00:27:50.207 That was wild, huh? 00:27:50.707 --> 00:27:52.867 Jackie R. 00:27:52.887 --> 00:27:57.447 Haley appeared in the adaptation of the graphic novel Watchmen as Rorschach. 00:27:57.447 --> 00:28:00.927 In that movie, his character murders people who murdered children. 00:28:01.087 --> 00:28:04.027 Haley didn't want to go around getting typecast as a pedophile in movies. 00:28:04.047 --> 00:28:06.587 He had to play somebody who killed somebody who killed kids. 00:28:06.927 --> 00:28:12.307 After that, Haley landed a role in Scorsese's Shutter Island alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. 00:28:12.327 --> 00:28:17.767 Then came the reimagining of A Nightmare on Elm Street and its key bad guy Freddy Krueger. 00:28:18.047 --> 00:28:24.387 A role previously played by Robert England in eight, count them eight Nightmare on Elm Street movies. 00:28:24.607 --> 00:28:29.507 England was originally supportive of Haley to strap on the glove and the striped sweater to reprise the role. 00:28:29.567 --> 00:28:34.747 Wes Craven, however, was not consulted on the movie and expressed his displeasure of this fact. 00:28:34.767 --> 00:28:37.447 The movie drew heavily from Craven's original film. 00:28:37.667 --> 00:28:41.627 The lead female character was to be Nancy, as it was in the original. 00:28:41.747 --> 00:28:50.687 Rooney Mara, who at the time had appeared in some TV shows, including Law and Order, SVU and ER, along with a few other independent films and some smaller studio movies. 00:28:50.807 --> 00:28:59.567 The same year that A Nightmare on Elm Street hit theaters, Mara appeared in David Fincher's The Social Network and the following year she started the adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. 00:28:59.647 --> 00:29:07.567 Now, in this movie, Nancy's best buddy Quentin was played by Kyle Gaulner, an actor recognized by fans of Veronica Mars and Smallville. 00:29:07.567 --> 00:29:13.307 Connie Britton, known by many from her role in the NB series Friday Night Lights, was cast to play Nancy's mom. 00:29:13.307 --> 00:29:21.947 Clancy Brown, who played Frankenstein's monster in the sting-tastic movie The Bride, which we reviewed in season 2, he shows up as Quentin's dad. 00:29:21.987 --> 00:29:27.967 A bunch of CGI was used in the making of this film, specifically when it came to creating the burn face of Freddy Krueger. 00:29:28.027 --> 00:29:37.587 Haley did wear a prosthetic during the filming, but it was enhanced with computer technology to make him look more like an actual burn victim with open wounds and melting flesh all around his face. 00:29:37.707 --> 00:29:49.847 And the same was true for many of the deaths in the film, where CGI replaced many of the practical effects that were in the original to simulate that surrealistic, dreamlike world of the victim's nightmares. 00:29:50.007 --> 00:29:51.207 So how did the movie do? 00:29:51.487 --> 00:29:52.927 Well, just as you'd expect. 00:29:53.167 --> 00:29:53.927 Total cost? 00:29:54.007 --> 00:29:55.067 35 million. 00:29:55.227 --> 00:29:57.687 It pulled in 117 million. 00:29:57.707 --> 00:30:07.507 The movie made 1.6 million on its Thursday night openings, and it was number one at the box office when it opened, raking in 35 million bucks of that total haul of 117 million. 00:30:07.527 --> 00:30:10.547 But then it dropped 72% the following week. 00:30:10.647 --> 00:30:11.067 Why? 00:30:11.307 --> 00:30:24.027 Well, critics and audiences genuinely disliked the movie, with some commenting on how it followed the template of the original, producing an uninspired, lifeless movie that felt like something ordered from a corporation just to make a buck. 00:30:24.047 --> 00:30:26.107 Because, well, that's what it was. 00:30:26.247 --> 00:30:39.047 Robert England, who as I mentioned, originally supported Jackie Earl Haley's casting of Freddy Krueger, he voiced his displeasure in the remake, citing the lack of empathetic characters and ineffective makeup when compared to his performances. 00:30:39.267 --> 00:30:43.427 Jackie Earl Haley was supposed to make three Nightmare on Elm Street movies. 00:30:43.447 --> 00:30:48.927 Rooney Morrow was supposed to come back for a sequel, but none of that happened and doesn't look like it's going to. 00:30:49.047 --> 00:30:55.527 Recently, Robert England threw his support behind Kevin Bacon as a potential actor to take on the role of Freddy Krueger. 00:30:55.607 --> 00:30:58.267 Hey, he played a child molester in The Woodsman. 00:30:58.407 --> 00:30:59.667 He's perfect for the role. 00:30:59.987 --> 00:31:08.807 Apparently, the rights of the franchise reverted back to Wes Craven's estate and they're looking at all options, including a new feature film or maybe even a TV series. 00:31:08.847 --> 00:31:12.247 Possibly with Robert England reprising his role as Freddy Krueger. 00:31:12.327 --> 00:31:18.187 Or maybe they'll make a direct sequel to the original or the first or second one like they did with those Halloween movies. 00:31:18.387 --> 00:31:23.547 Or better still, maybe they won't make any sequels and just let this franchise rest in peace. 00:31:23.747 --> 00:31:24.247 You know what? 00:31:24.347 --> 00:31:25.147 Let's get Mr. 00:31:25.167 --> 00:31:32.707 Bo Ransdell in here to discuss this disgusting reimagining remake from start to finish to see how it stacks up against the innovative original. 00:31:32.727 --> 00:31:42.907 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, insomniacs and narcoleptics alike, join us as we explore the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. 00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:06.579 And welcome to Pick Six Movies. 00:32:06.579 --> 00:32:10.479 I'm Chad Cooper, and I am joined by the man who haunts my dreams every night, Mr. 00:32:10.499 --> 00:32:11.359 Bo Ransdell Bo. 00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:12.379 How are you doing today? 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:18.019 I've got my finger knives all ready to carve this turkey up. 00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:23.219 If I could, Chad, I gotta make a quick note to the audience, a little bit of housekeeping we gotta do up front. 00:32:23.239 --> 00:32:24.959 Okay, go ahead, you do that, I'll be right back. 00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:28.099 For those listening, Hornstick was very popular. 00:32:28.699 --> 00:32:37.679 And I appreciate everyone who emailed, who reached out, who followed the URL, which it turns out, we left out a whole.biz. 00:32:37.699 --> 00:32:38.039 Yes. 00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:39.219 And they still found it. 00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:45.419 Somebody posted it on TikTok or Snapchat or Updub, something like that. 00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:52.079 And people found it, and I gotta say, we are now officially sold out of Hornstick. 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.999 We netted $118.11. 00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:58.739 Now we sold 10,000 units, give or take. 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.059 Something stupid. 00:33:02.099 --> 00:33:03.959 The gross on this is not great. 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:04.739 No. 00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:06.039 The net was pretty good. 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.459 Our margins are shockingly low for Hornstick. 00:33:10.479 --> 00:33:14.599 But, and I'll tell you why, it's because Hornstick's American made, and we gotta deal with unions. 00:33:14.679 --> 00:33:15.099 They are. 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.839 It's why you can't build public rail in this country. 00:33:17.879 --> 00:33:19.299 No, they're handcrafted. 00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:20.319 Yeah, artisanal. 00:33:20.419 --> 00:33:24.219 By American workers, and by American workers, I mean people in prisons. 00:33:24.339 --> 00:33:30.679 But shockingly, they cost like to get them from the prison to the Pick Six Movie Studios. 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:32.719 It's like $2,018. 00:33:32.879 --> 00:33:35.279 It seems a little high, but you know what I mean? 00:33:35.459 --> 00:33:39.159 If you're gonna pay for quality, you're gonna get quality, people. 00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:43.499 Yeah, I mean, no one is arguing the quality of Hornstick. 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:43.559 No. 00:33:44.999 --> 00:33:47.899 But we appreciate all the interest. 00:33:47.959 --> 00:33:53.419 And to answer the question that's on all of your minds right now, will there be a second run? 00:33:53.939 --> 00:33:54.759 Absolutely not. 00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:56.519 But thank you for your interest. 00:33:56.759 --> 00:34:05.319 And thanks for making Hornstick, despite the low net, still the most successful thing that we've ever done on Pick Six Movies. 00:34:05.779 --> 00:34:06.779 But let me ask you a question. 00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:08.699 Were you a fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies? 00:34:08.979 --> 00:34:11.219 I like two of them. 00:34:11.499 --> 00:34:12.139 Which two? 00:34:12.399 --> 00:34:13.479 I like one in three. 00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:14.739 Frank Darabont wrote three. 00:34:14.839 --> 00:34:16.159 I should know that, but I didn't. 00:34:17.739 --> 00:34:19.359 I was never a fan of this series. 00:34:19.619 --> 00:34:27.799 I associated it with the goofiness of all the sequels, which is unfair to the original, which I rewatched in preparation for this episode. 00:34:27.839 --> 00:34:30.699 And as noted in the opening, it's a pretty solid movie. 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:33.599 It's got this great surrealistic dreamlike quality. 00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:35.539 It's full of those practical effects. 00:34:35.659 --> 00:34:39.279 It's got a low budget, but as noted, it works in its favor. 00:34:39.299 --> 00:34:44.339 And it's very charming even as an 80s era period piece. 00:34:44.539 --> 00:35:04.739 The first one, and I think you did a good job in the introduction kind of pointing out how the original came out of sort of a creative idea, creatively done, you know, it's a sort of necessity being the mother of an invention and not having a giant budget and having to do a lot of stuff really practically and really creatively. 00:35:04.879 --> 00:35:07.319 And it made for a really interesting movie. 00:35:07.339 --> 00:35:09.079 The original Nightmare on Elm Street's really good. 00:35:09.459 --> 00:35:18.139 There has been a recent reappraisal of part two because of the thing you were talking about of it being one of the most homoerotic horror films. 00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:25.579 And there's a pretty good documentary called Screen Queen, about that movie. 00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:28.579 And particularly about the lead actor. 00:35:28.699 --> 00:35:29.879 Who was the gay actor? 00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:31.159 Yeah, absolutely. 00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:37.019 And he kind of knew like he and Robert England talked about the subtext while they were making the movie. 00:35:37.059 --> 00:35:40.199 And so the reappraisal isn't completely out of left field. 00:35:40.219 --> 00:35:43.499 There really is some there there with Elm Street 2. 00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:45.599 I still don't think it's a great movie. 00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:52.559 I think it's a really interesting movie for it being such a gay horror film for that time. 00:35:52.959 --> 00:35:56.859 That I think is interesting about it, but I don't know that it's terribly entertaining. 00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:58.199 I do like one and three. 00:35:58.219 --> 00:36:10.819 And I think two, if somebody came up to me and said, I really like Nightmare on Elm Street 2, I'm not gonna give him a hard time about it, especially because there's the great scene where that bird just explodes in the living room and that's one of the best scenes in any movie ever. 00:36:10.839 --> 00:36:14.359 I just didn't care for the wisecracking Freddy Krueger. 00:36:14.959 --> 00:36:20.159 It almost reminded me of Sean Connery's latter James Bond movies. 00:36:20.179 --> 00:36:21.779 Because if you go back and you look at Dr. 00:36:21.799 --> 00:36:29.359 No and From Russia with Love, the character of James Bond isn't really what you know James Bond to be in future films. 00:36:29.379 --> 00:36:38.619 Like it took a couple of outings to get that character's mix of misogyny and bad jokes and indiscriminate murder of people quite right. 00:36:38.899 --> 00:36:44.019 And that seems like what happened with the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, especially with the Freddy Krueger character. 00:36:45.099 --> 00:36:51.259 For sure, by the time you get to Elm Street 4 and 5, it becomes so unserious. 00:36:51.819 --> 00:36:55.539 Like the first movie is scary and it just stops being that. 00:36:55.539 --> 00:37:02.399 And the third one is largely responsible for that change in the character because he is a little bit quipier in that one. 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:08.399 But I also don't think it's quite as over the top and it's not quite as broad. 00:37:08.499 --> 00:37:12.039 I think three is, I both love it and I loathe it. 00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:15.559 I love it because I think it's a really good popcorn horror movie. 00:37:15.799 --> 00:37:29.799 And I really loathe the fact that it changed the arc of that character so that you ended up in, whichever it is, four or five with Super Freddy and him riding on the Wicked Witch's broom and stuff like that. 00:37:29.879 --> 00:37:33.379 But the third one has stuff like the welcome to primetime bitch. 00:37:33.419 --> 00:37:43.799 And the one I think is legitimately creepy is the girl that's recovering from drug addiction and his fingers turn into the needles. 00:37:44.179 --> 00:37:47.459 You know, he like jams them into her arm and he's like, what a rush. 00:37:47.819 --> 00:37:49.939 I think that actually works. 00:37:49.959 --> 00:37:52.579 I think that's kind of eerie, but it gets ridiculous. 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.079 And again, there are plenty of horror fans that are like, I just love Nightmare on Elm Street. 00:37:57.099 --> 00:37:58.739 I love all the Nightmare on Elm Street stuff. 00:37:58.999 --> 00:38:04.679 Robert England is having a ball and all of that is true, but it's just not for me. 00:38:04.859 --> 00:38:08.979 Three was where they started introducing all of kind of the novelty songs. 00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.639 Cause Dawkin wrote a song called Dream Warriors. 00:38:13.659 --> 00:38:19.659 And then in that fourth one, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince wrote that Nightmare on My Street. 00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:20.859 Remember that thing? 00:38:21.219 --> 00:38:21.879 That's right. 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:26.839 And the Fat Boys wrote a song for part four called, Are You Ready for Freddy? 00:38:26.979 --> 00:38:29.819 And then the Goo Goo Dolls wrote one for New Nightmare. 00:38:29.999 --> 00:38:38.719 It was during that time period where there was all of this synergy between movies and hit singles, mostly written by Kenny Loggins and what, Michael McDonald and Bryan Adams. 00:38:38.779 --> 00:38:39.619 Let's get into this. 00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:47.279 First off, tip of the hat to the filmmakers for having the decency to make this movie come in at a tight 90 minutes without credits. 00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:50.939 And speaking of credits, it's practically got none at the upfront. 00:38:51.019 --> 00:38:53.779 I have one nice thing to say about this movie. 00:38:53.919 --> 00:38:54.819 That is not it. 00:38:55.099 --> 00:39:01.739 But this movie lets you know upfront that it's gonna be a real piece of shit by having that Platinum Dunes logo front and center. 00:39:01.999 --> 00:39:05.259 Well, before that, you do get an old school New Line Cinema logo. 00:39:05.279 --> 00:39:06.399 That was kind of nice, right? 00:39:07.379 --> 00:39:08.879 That's kind of a tease, though. 00:39:08.899 --> 00:39:12.059 That's like to tell ya, hey, this might be good. 00:39:12.059 --> 00:39:18.119 And then Platinum Dunes comes in to let you know like, oh no, no, no, this is gonna be just the most phoned in bullshit you ever saw. 00:39:18.279 --> 00:39:21.939 It's such a squeezing money from this franchise. 00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:25.479 It feels like something a corporation made to make money. 00:39:25.659 --> 00:39:34.019 Yes, and it also has the larger problem of every decision made in order to get that money is the wrong one. 00:39:34.139 --> 00:39:36.719 More violent, ramp it up, make it more intense. 00:39:36.819 --> 00:39:38.899 This isn't your grandma's Nightmare on Elm Street. 00:39:38.959 --> 00:39:40.999 We're gonna make this shit extreme. 00:39:42.339 --> 00:39:49.859 The fact that they signed some of these actors to three movies up front Pfft. 00:39:49.879 --> 00:39:56.739 lets you know that they weren't as aware as they should have been of how bad a movie they were making. 00:39:56.799 --> 00:40:03.379 During these opening credits, they weave in some visuals to kind of sort of begin to tease the backstory of Freddy Krueger. 00:40:03.499 --> 00:40:12.379 We get these quick shots of preschool kids playing hopscotch, sidewalk drawings, their kids on swings, their building blocks that are on fire. 00:40:12.619 --> 00:40:14.899 The building blocks that is, not the kids on the swings. 00:40:14.919 --> 00:40:16.619 That's a real Terminator exclusive. 00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:25.079 The visuals do this thing where some of them are clean versions of the images, and then they get replaced by these distressed images. 00:40:25.319 --> 00:40:30.019 And one of the blocks shows a little lamb on it, Bo, because the kids, they're like lambs. 00:40:31.379 --> 00:40:41.099 My favorite of these like little edits is when you see the Badum Preschool, and then it edits so that you just see Bad School. 00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:43.819 And I'm like, oh, I see what you're doing here. 00:40:43.839 --> 00:40:59.019 Let me give you one other thing that really pisses me off at these credits, is that when they're giving you the names of the cast and crew, it's the name in actual credits, and then you see the children's scrawl backwards R kind of version of it. 00:40:59.539 --> 00:41:00.579 Just do one or the other. 00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:02.219 I don't need to see all these names twice. 00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:03.439 I barely care once. 00:41:03.619 --> 00:41:08.279 It makes me so happy to hear you hack on credits because credits are a waste of everybody's time. 00:41:08.299 --> 00:41:20.059 And all of this opening feels very music video-esque because as noted earlier, the director of this movie, Samuel Bayer, had a lot of experience making music videos. 00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:24.019 He made some very good music videos and he made one very bad movie. 00:41:24.339 --> 00:41:27.379 And then he decided to stop directing films, fingers crossed. 00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:32.239 So we cut to Springwood Diner, which has four neon signs in the window. 00:41:32.299 --> 00:41:34.399 One of them says, open 24 hours. 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:36.359 There's another one says, hot coffee. 00:41:36.899 --> 00:41:38.839 One of the signs says, take out. 00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:42.159 And then the last one says, good food. 00:41:44.619 --> 00:41:50.719 Somewhere between famous potatoes and live free or die the truth lies. 00:41:51.399 --> 00:41:54.219 Hey, I'm ordering neon signs for the diner. 00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:56.019 They save you by three, you get one free. 00:41:56.199 --> 00:41:58.039 I got open 24 hours. 00:41:58.199 --> 00:41:59.159 Oh, good, we're gonna need that. 00:41:59.399 --> 00:42:04.779 And I got the hot coffee and I got one that says, take out, what do you think the fourth one should be? 00:42:04.799 --> 00:42:07.479 Maybe like amazing food, too much? 00:42:07.579 --> 00:42:09.399 Yeah, let's not oversell it. 00:42:09.619 --> 00:42:11.079 How about edible food? 00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:13.879 What do you think about maybe not bad food? 00:42:13.979 --> 00:42:17.199 What is closer to not bad than amazing? 00:42:17.219 --> 00:42:18.739 How about human food? 00:42:18.759 --> 00:42:21.019 Yeah, they might think we eat people here. 00:42:21.279 --> 00:42:22.279 Great food? 00:42:22.299 --> 00:42:24.379 Yeah, I've tried it, it's not great. 00:42:24.499 --> 00:42:25.299 Good food? 00:42:25.399 --> 00:42:27.339 You know, it's not untrue. 00:42:27.359 --> 00:42:28.879 Thanks a lot, Goldilocks. 00:42:29.379 --> 00:42:36.659 So outside this diner, it's raining and we head inside and a clock shows that it's 4.35. 00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:44.279 And Bo, I immediately questioned whether or not this was AM or PM, because in Ohio in the fall, sunset is pretty early in the day. 00:42:44.279 --> 00:42:45.699 It can be around 4.45. 00:42:45.699 --> 00:42:48.459 And my point here is that make it two o'clock in the morning. 00:42:48.459 --> 00:42:51.219 Make it abundantly clear we're in the middle of the night. 00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:52.899 Yeah, why not make it one? 00:42:53.019 --> 00:42:57.119 Because then you know it's after midnight, it's really late, it's the witching hour, Chad. 00:42:57.259 --> 00:42:59.799 And this diner has all the lights turned off inside. 00:42:59.959 --> 00:43:06.279 How about you turn on some of these lamps above the tables, let people know you're open, other than those four shitty neon signs in the window. 00:43:06.359 --> 00:43:15.119 And this beehive waitress walks past this guy named Dean, who's played by the guy who was Emmett Cullen in those Twilight movies, according to my wife. 00:43:15.799 --> 00:43:21.339 And Dean asks the waitress with the beehive for more coffee, and she just walks right past him, ignoring him. 00:43:21.399 --> 00:43:23.979 And it's here that you realize, Bo, this might be a dream. 00:43:24.659 --> 00:43:24.959 Yeah. 00:43:25.359 --> 00:43:29.059 Dean calls this waitress a bitch, and he gets up to go explore the diner. 00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:30.919 That's a little extreme, if you ask me. 00:43:30.959 --> 00:43:33.019 Dean goes into the kitchen, which is a mess. 00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:34.559 There's dirty dishes piled up. 00:43:34.579 --> 00:43:37.159 Food on the grill is on fire. 00:43:37.179 --> 00:43:39.159 There are hogs heads all over the place. 00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:47.839 Apparently the Platinum Dudes Probs Department just grabbed whatever was in storage from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and just littered it about this diner. 00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:52.179 Then we see behind him the Freddy glove. 00:43:52.419 --> 00:43:53.059 Oh shit. 00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:54.519 A little snick-snicked. 00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:56.099 Shwing. 00:43:56.299 --> 00:43:56.659 Yeah. 00:43:56.679 --> 00:44:00.279 And then he wakes up just as Freddy is slashing. 00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:06.239 And then there is Nancy as played by one of the mirrors. 00:44:06.259 --> 00:44:07.219 I think it's Rooney. 00:44:07.419 --> 00:44:11.199 She clearly does not care about being in this movie. 00:44:11.219 --> 00:44:13.879 Like I have seen her be good in films. 00:44:13.919 --> 00:44:14.979 It was not in this. 00:44:14.999 --> 00:44:17.639 No, she does not give a shit. 00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:26.339 And I think in later interviews, both she and Kyle Gaulner have said that they were pretty much phoning it in for this movie. 00:44:26.399 --> 00:44:28.139 That's being generous, man. 00:44:28.259 --> 00:44:32.299 Her performance is so lackluster and disconnected. 00:44:32.379 --> 00:44:36.259 The whole movie, she's just like, all right, whatever, what do you want? 00:44:36.539 --> 00:44:36.839 Right. 00:44:37.459 --> 00:44:44.019 Yeah, and even here she's like, oh wow, if you keep falling asleep at the table, they're gonna kick you out. 00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:48.759 Tells this guy, Dean, that if he falls asleep in the restaurant, they're gonna throw him out. 00:44:48.779 --> 00:44:51.179 And I'm like, yeah, of course they are. 00:44:51.179 --> 00:44:53.059 Cause you look like a drug addict. 00:44:53.219 --> 00:44:56.799 They don't want to go in the bathroom and see you laying on the floor with a needle in your arm. 00:44:56.859 --> 00:45:00.819 But presumably Chad, he is trying to stay awake. 00:45:00.919 --> 00:45:09.619 And what helps you stay awake better than eating a big ass steak, which is what he has done, which is like the sleeping pill of food. 00:45:10.059 --> 00:45:11.339 It's not just a steak. 00:45:11.639 --> 00:45:12.839 It's a sloppy steak. 00:45:13.179 --> 00:45:20.479 Cause it is swimming in a good centimeter of red watery liquid. 00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:21.959 And there's no sides. 00:45:22.299 --> 00:45:28.619 It's just like the fat around the steak and a couple of bites he couldn't finish cause he got too full. 00:45:28.959 --> 00:45:29.979 Who orders that? 00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:31.399 A crazy person? 00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:33.999 You don't go to a diner and just like, what can I get you? 00:45:34.179 --> 00:45:34.799 Steak. 00:45:34.859 --> 00:45:42.779 It's like he was trying to get his picture up on the wall where he ate all of the like 64 ounce or oh, I'm so tired. 00:45:43.059 --> 00:45:49.059 No fucking wonder your body has spent all of its energy trying to digest this half a cow you just ate. 00:45:49.439 --> 00:45:51.559 You want the t-shirt, you gotta eat the gristle. 00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:52.979 That's the rules. 00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:54.619 Also real quick, I just want to say this. 00:45:54.719 --> 00:46:08.179 These Platinum Doom movies, they made these remakes of classic horror films and they cast everyone in the movie who's between the ages of like 25 and 32 to play 17 and 18 year olds. 00:46:08.179 --> 00:46:14.639 You know, in those original movies with Johnny Depp and Heather Langenkamp, they were like 20, 21. 00:46:14.659 --> 00:46:16.439 They could pass for 17, 18. 00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:23.719 The actors in this movie look like they should be playing the parents of the actors that should have been cast in this movie. 00:46:24.179 --> 00:46:25.659 They're way too old. 00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:32.119 I kept expecting somebody to go up to Connie Britton and Rooney Mara and be like, you two look like sisters. 00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:32.739 No, really. 00:46:32.799 --> 00:46:34.919 You two look like you're exactly the same age. 00:46:35.299 --> 00:46:43.019 Dean looks up from his food coma to Nancy and he's like, and then Nancy takes his plate. 00:46:43.019 --> 00:46:45.099 It's full of like sloppy steak remnants. 00:46:45.539 --> 00:46:53.939 And Dean looks around and he sees his hand and there's a gash where Freddy Krueger swiped at him in the dream world. 00:46:53.959 --> 00:46:55.019 And it's a bad wound. 00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:57.739 Like he seriously needs to go to an emergency room. 00:46:57.759 --> 00:47:00.339 His hand is not gonna work properly ever again. 00:47:00.359 --> 00:47:01.159 Yeah, it's bad. 00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:07.219 So instead he does what anyone would in this situation, which is to put a filthy diner napkin on it. 00:47:07.279 --> 00:47:09.119 And order another steak. 00:47:09.339 --> 00:47:10.539 I'm gonna get it this time. 00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:11.599 Give me a 64. 00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:13.319 No, you're just gonna pour water all over it. 00:47:13.419 --> 00:47:14.239 No, I'm not. 00:47:14.259 --> 00:47:18.099 We're gonna get a sloppy steak and then we're going to the beach. 00:47:18.379 --> 00:47:30.339 Enter the blonde haired Chris with a K as played by Katie Cassidy, who is slash was on the TV series Flash and Green Arrow playing Laurel Lance, Black Siren and Black Canary. 00:47:30.339 --> 00:47:32.779 Do any of those words mean anything to you Bo? 00:47:32.899 --> 00:47:37.539 Because it sounds like a witch's spell to me and I think I might have just put a curse on somebody. 00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:43.279 Yeah, she started off as Laurel Lance on Arrow, then becomes the Black Canary. 00:47:43.299 --> 00:47:49.099 I think her sister was Black Canary for a while and then got wounded and she took up the mantle. 00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:51.799 I didn't stick around long enough to see the Black Siren stuff. 00:47:51.879 --> 00:47:53.379 My TV doesn't get that channel. 00:47:53.399 --> 00:47:56.879 Chris with a K says, Hey Nancy, I'm here to meet Dean. 00:47:56.899 --> 00:48:01.959 He said he was headed to the diner and he was definitely not gonna order a sloppy steak. 00:48:02.019 --> 00:48:04.959 And then Chris with a K, she heads over and she sees Dean and she sits down. 00:48:04.979 --> 00:48:07.779 She's like, Oh my God, Dean, you look like you haven't even. 00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:09.819 And Dean interrupts, slept in three days. 00:48:10.139 --> 00:48:11.339 Yeah, cause I haven't. 00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:13.059 First off, don't interrupt people. 00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:20.259 I get you're sleepy and you have a cut on your hand that clearly demands stitches, but interrupting people is just rude. 00:48:20.319 --> 00:48:21.679 Yeah, he's just cranky. 00:48:21.779 --> 00:48:22.899 He needs a nap. 00:48:22.919 --> 00:48:30.059 Chris with a K says, Oh my God, I love how we finish each other's sentences and you're so handsome and your stubble beard is so sexy. 00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:31.059 Who does your eyebrows? 00:48:31.139 --> 00:48:33.159 I bet it's Sheila down at the Lash Factory. 00:48:33.299 --> 00:48:33.959 She doesn't mind. 00:48:33.979 --> 00:48:34.779 Do you go to Sheila? 00:48:35.699 --> 00:48:37.279 There's something in your comment. 00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:38.359 You and me, Dean. 00:48:39.399 --> 00:48:41.139 Oh, I think I saw a guy with knives. 00:48:41.179 --> 00:48:47.199 We cut to a different table of 20 something males pretending to be teenage boys. 00:48:47.339 --> 00:48:48.859 Among them is Quentin. 00:48:48.899 --> 00:48:52.059 I've only known three people in my life named Quentin. 00:48:52.439 --> 00:48:54.619 One of them is filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. 00:48:54.699 --> 00:48:56.299 I don't know him personally. 00:48:56.319 --> 00:48:59.979 There was Quentin Black who illustrated all of the Rawl Doll books. 00:49:00.399 --> 00:49:06.639 And then there was this kid named Quentin in my sister's kindergarten class who peed on her during nap time. 00:49:06.699 --> 00:49:09.679 And I cannot say if it was deliberate or an accident or both. 00:49:09.779 --> 00:49:12.939 Knowing your sister, it doesn't really clear that up. 00:49:13.139 --> 00:49:18.039 This is Kyle Gaulander playing Quentin, who, like you said, looks like he's about 47 years old. 00:49:18.239 --> 00:49:27.179 His two pals are checking Nancy out because everyone enjoys the way fish waitress at this diner that serves good food, apparently. 00:49:27.399 --> 00:49:28.899 At four o'clock in the morning? 00:49:28.979 --> 00:49:30.679 Or p.m., whatever. 00:49:30.699 --> 00:49:42.499 Then among them at Quentin's table is Jesse, who sees Chris with a K and Dean and gets all upset about it. 00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:43.839 Bo, they just broke up. 00:49:44.379 --> 00:49:46.959 They got a divorce and he lost the kids. 00:49:47.619 --> 00:49:49.079 So he's a little testy. 00:49:50.319 --> 00:49:52.019 And so he slaps down somebody. 00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:56.139 He got the dog and it's a chihuahua that's 13 years old. 00:49:56.279 --> 00:49:56.579 Right. 00:49:56.599 --> 00:50:00.159 Well, I mean, they were only seven years into a 30 year mortgage. 00:50:00.179 --> 00:50:01.939 And now what are they going to do with the house? 00:50:02.059 --> 00:50:03.379 I pay for that car. 00:50:04.459 --> 00:50:09.519 Who gets a dental assistant degree and doesn't become a dental assistant since Chris with a K? 00:50:09.799 --> 00:50:11.119 I'm going back to high school. 00:50:11.139 --> 00:50:11.599 So are you. 00:50:11.719 --> 00:50:12.679 We're starting over. 00:50:13.419 --> 00:50:14.239 We're going to do. 00:50:14.259 --> 00:50:15.819 That's not how things work, Jesse. 00:50:15.879 --> 00:50:16.939 That's how they work now. 00:50:17.179 --> 00:50:20.619 They're going to apparently do a 13 going on 30 thing. 00:50:21.579 --> 00:50:22.939 Did you see Billy Madison? 00:50:23.139 --> 00:50:23.759 It's like that. 00:50:23.839 --> 00:50:25.819 We're doing to do over Mulligan. 00:50:25.979 --> 00:50:26.459 All right. 00:50:26.539 --> 00:50:27.739 It's a reverse big. 00:50:28.419 --> 00:50:29.599 They're going to get small. 00:50:30.379 --> 00:50:34.959 After Jesse gets all pissed off about this and starts to store out, Quentin puts. 00:50:34.979 --> 00:50:35.559 I'm leaving. 00:50:36.259 --> 00:50:37.919 He puts down some more money. 00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:39.059 He dropped a tin spot. 00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:41.019 He's like, oh, here you go. 00:50:41.039 --> 00:50:43.059 Hope this makes up for your trouble. 00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:44.539 Sorry, we made such a mess. 00:50:44.759 --> 00:50:46.259 And Nancy's like, it's okay. 00:50:46.319 --> 00:50:47.119 It's what I do. 00:50:47.139 --> 00:50:48.099 I weigh tables. 00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:54.039 I bring people food and they make a mess and then I clean it up and they leave me a small amount of money for my service. 00:50:54.059 --> 00:50:57.719 It's not the first sloppy steak I've served and it won't be the last. 00:50:57.859 --> 00:51:04.299 Quentin and his boys, they leave, head off into the night to break, enter Vandal, Burgl, Larson or some combination. 00:51:04.319 --> 00:51:04.599 Right. 00:51:04.619 --> 00:51:11.959 And meanwhile, Dean is telling Chris with a K that he's been going through his childhood memories with his therapist. 00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:13.959 And then all these nightmares started. 00:51:14.019 --> 00:51:17.579 Dean, maybe you should talk to somebody who isn't me. 00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:19.639 Well, that's what I was just telling you. 00:51:19.659 --> 00:51:24.879 I've been talking to my therapist and he tells me that these dreams aren't real and I need to sleep. 00:51:24.899 --> 00:51:26.599 But I know they are real, Chris, with the kid. 00:51:26.619 --> 00:51:27.399 They are real. 00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:30.359 He said, may all my problems come from my past. 00:51:30.839 --> 00:51:34.039 I was like, damn, Bo, that sounds like a really good therapist. 00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:36.719 Cause I kind of want to get that guy's number. 00:51:36.739 --> 00:51:37.039 Sure. 00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:39.259 Maybe he could help to unravel what's wrong with me. 00:51:39.279 --> 00:51:43.819 Cause my therapist told me that all my troubles come from the not too distant future. 00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:44.859 Next Sunday, AD. 00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:46.439 La, la, la. 00:51:48.459 --> 00:51:51.779 My therapist just tells me all my problems come from me. 00:51:51.939 --> 00:51:59.339 She's really into reminding me that everyone else seems to be doing fine around me and that I'm the one causing problems. 00:51:59.459 --> 00:52:01.719 There's a lot of this, baby. 00:52:01.799 --> 00:52:04.099 Dean says, we started talking about my childhood. 00:52:04.099 --> 00:52:05.579 And that's when the nightmare started. 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:07.599 And I can't sleep cause my dreams are real. 00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:10.859 And then Dean spills a cup of coffee that goes into Crystal the K's lap. 00:52:10.879 --> 00:52:14.139 And luckily she's still wearing a raincoat cause remember it's raining outside, no biggie. 00:52:14.219 --> 00:52:18.039 So she gets up to go clean herself off and to get away from this handsome insomniac. 00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:20.759 And once Crystal the K leaves, we get some creepy music. 00:52:20.779 --> 00:52:21.599 Something's going on, Bo. 00:52:21.659 --> 00:52:26.939 And Dean spins his sloppy steak knife on the table like he's playing a game of spin the bottle. 00:52:26.979 --> 00:52:30.779 And then the lighting changes and you're like, oh shit, we're back in the dream world. 00:52:30.979 --> 00:52:35.139 And Freddy Krueger shows up out of nowhere like a mugger on the city streets. 00:52:35.259 --> 00:52:37.019 And Dean says, you're not real. 00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:39.639 And Freddy Krueger says, I am now. 00:52:39.759 --> 00:52:42.819 How about you come over here and cut your own throat for me? 00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:45.799 That steak looked pretty sloppy to me. 00:52:45.939 --> 00:52:48.899 But let's see if we can make you look a little more sloppy. 00:52:48.919 --> 00:52:50.019 What do you say, champ? 00:52:50.099 --> 00:52:53.079 And then we get a closeup of Freddy Krueger's face. 00:52:53.179 --> 00:52:59.539 And I just wanna say, Freddy Krueger in this movie looks like this homemade cosplay gone wrong. 00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:02.619 All the elements are there, but it's not quite right. 00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:07.659 It looks like a Halloween mask of Freddy Krueger that you would buy at a flea market. 00:53:07.739 --> 00:53:16.959 And when you check the tag, it was manufactured in Asia and the name of the cardboard tag on it informs you that the mask is knife hand killer. 00:53:18.299 --> 00:53:30.859 Yeah, one of the big problems with it is, aside from it just looking kind of bland, is that it doesn't let Jackie Earl Haley enunciate very well. 00:53:30.859 --> 00:53:37.699 Like that was one of the things that made the Robert England makeup so good is that he could express himself. 00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:41.299 Like you could see his facial expressions when he scowled or grinned. 00:53:41.339 --> 00:53:45.179 His eyes would kind of light up and dart around and he was having fun with it. 00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:47.459 Maybe a little too fun in my opinion, but he was having fun. 00:53:47.479 --> 00:53:53.279 You know, he could kind of sneer and like raise one lip in a sly smile. 00:53:53.339 --> 00:53:57.939 And this is just so heavy that his mouth doesn't move that much. 00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:01.679 He looks like Fano from Pan's Labyrinth, if he got a sunburn. 00:54:02.199 --> 00:54:04.039 If he had like leprosy. 00:54:04.879 --> 00:54:12.519 I will say the one thing I like about this movie is I think Jackie Earl Haley is trying to give a performance. 00:54:12.759 --> 00:54:16.979 I don't think the makeup is doing him any favors, but I think he's trying. 00:54:17.019 --> 00:54:30.399 It is the one thing about this movie that I kind of like is that he, I think is pretty menacing in this, but also it's completely hamstrung by bad makeup and the CGI and all that stuff. 00:54:30.439 --> 00:54:40.939 But to your point, you know, he makes this guy cut his own throat and Chris with a K sees this happening, screams, and then we get a late title card, A Nightmare on Elm Street. 00:54:40.999 --> 00:54:45.899 You know, that late title card shit, that works in James Bond movies, because it's expected. 00:54:45.979 --> 00:54:50.699 And the only other movie I've ever seen in my entire life where it worked was Raising Arizona. 00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:54.419 I've just got to say that, the 20 minute title card, yeah. 00:54:54.419 --> 00:54:56.539 But in this film, it's not needed. 00:54:56.719 --> 00:55:00.119 No one watching this movie was thinking, wait, what movie is this? 00:55:00.139 --> 00:55:01.319 Oh, it's Nightmare on Elm Street, great. 00:55:01.339 --> 00:55:03.259 Hey, wait a second, what is this movie? 00:55:03.279 --> 00:55:07.219 I thought it was going to see A Nightmare on Elm Street, all of a sudden there's a guy with knives for fingers? 00:55:07.499 --> 00:55:08.979 What is going on? 00:55:09.139 --> 00:55:19.339 You know what's worse than the late title card is when a movie doesn't have a title card at all and they just kind of punch you in the face at the very end by throwing the title card up before the credits. 00:55:19.379 --> 00:55:24.539 The only time that that really worked was in The Lying, which has done really well because it's punctuated with the music. 00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:30.099 But like all of these other movies that don't have a title card and tack it on, it's like, who is this for? 00:55:30.139 --> 00:55:33.159 People that suffered a brain injury while watching your film? 00:55:33.299 --> 00:55:34.979 Like, I have no short-term recall. 00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:36.939 What movie did I just watch? 00:55:37.359 --> 00:55:38.319 Oh, great. 00:55:38.939 --> 00:55:40.559 Didn't Avatar do that? 00:55:40.579 --> 00:55:42.899 Did they do an end of movie title card? 00:55:43.179 --> 00:55:43.619 Sure. 00:55:43.839 --> 00:55:46.919 We can talk about Avatar a little later, but we never will. 00:55:47.139 --> 00:55:48.559 Yeah, that movie's way too long. 00:55:48.579 --> 00:55:50.199 It's way too long and it's way too bad. 00:55:50.399 --> 00:55:53.239 After the late title card, we go to a funeral. 00:55:53.339 --> 00:55:54.159 Graveside. 00:55:54.179 --> 00:55:55.459 Dean's being buried, Bo. 00:55:55.499 --> 00:55:56.879 You see who got front row seat? 00:55:56.899 --> 00:55:58.159 Crystal the K. 00:55:58.339 --> 00:56:01.859 This is one of the, again, bad decisions of this movie. 00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:04.199 Of why are all these kids here again? 00:56:04.259 --> 00:56:05.879 So Chris with a K is there. 00:56:05.939 --> 00:56:08.639 Jesse, who was the rival, is there. 00:56:08.959 --> 00:56:10.619 Cause he broke up with Chris with a K. 00:56:10.779 --> 00:56:11.559 Quentin's there. 00:56:11.579 --> 00:56:13.119 Well, because Nancy's there. 00:56:13.139 --> 00:56:16.219 And that judge hasn't signed off on the restraining order against Quentin yet. 00:56:16.239 --> 00:56:19.659 But why is Nancy, like, I don't know their relationship. 00:56:19.679 --> 00:56:23.899 And the movie plays coy with what their relationship is. 00:56:24.059 --> 00:56:28.419 So that late in the movie, you kind of understand why they all know each other. 00:56:28.819 --> 00:56:30.859 But there's no real reason. 00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:35.059 It's not like they hang out based on what we understand. 00:56:39.359 --> 00:56:41.499 Anyhow, it's so stupid. 00:56:41.519 --> 00:56:46.179 So Chris with a K sees a little girl in a dress hanging out by the grave side. 00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:50.459 She's like, hey, is anyone gonna get that little girl away from the open grave? 00:56:50.739 --> 00:56:53.479 Oh, why does she have slashes across her chest? 00:56:53.659 --> 00:56:56.279 Hey, and she's throwing flowers in the grave? 00:56:56.299 --> 00:56:57.299 She's doing it wrong. 00:56:57.359 --> 00:57:04.099 You don't throw the flowers in first, the casket, then flowers, then someone pours one out for their homie in remembrance. 00:57:04.419 --> 00:57:08.159 Also, you're wearing pink and that is totally wrong for a funeral. 00:57:08.479 --> 00:57:10.219 I'm wearing slut black. 00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:15.919 Then Crystal with a K looks around and she's like, oh my God, did the music in this movie just get creepy? 00:57:15.939 --> 00:57:17.279 Uh-oh, I think I'm asleep. 00:57:17.299 --> 00:57:20.479 Wait a minute, that little blonde girl, she's in trouble. 00:57:20.659 --> 00:57:25.999 And then Freddy Krueger's hand, the one without the knives, pops up and grabs a little girl's leg, boom! 00:57:26.019 --> 00:57:27.199 Bo, we're snapped back to reality. 00:57:27.219 --> 00:57:28.239 Crystal with a K wakes up. 00:57:28.259 --> 00:57:45.239 How embarrassing you must feel if you fell asleep at a funeral while sitting on the front row for a guy who died where everyone there assumes committed a gruesome act of suicide when he slit his own throat with a sloppy steak knife at a local diner that was right in front of you. 00:57:45.379 --> 00:57:47.099 Come on, Crystal with a K, wake up! 00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:52.319 If someone cuts their throat in front of you, you are the reason they're doing it. 00:57:52.479 --> 00:57:53.119 Oh yeah. 00:57:53.299 --> 00:57:58.819 The fact that Crystal with a K is even allowed in the front row seems like the parents are falling down on the job. 00:57:58.979 --> 00:58:06.059 Nancy and Nancy's mom walk over and they meet up with Quentin and Quentin's dad as played by the adorably creepy Clancy Brown. 00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:07.699 Welcome back to the podcast, Mr. 00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:08.359 Clancy Brown. 00:58:08.379 --> 00:58:09.059 Please don't hurt me. 00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:13.479 The majority of Clancy Brown's career was doing voiceover work for animated series. 00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:15.019 Most notably is the voice of Mr. 00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:16.519 Krabs on SpongeBob SquarePants. 00:58:16.619 --> 00:58:22.639 And Quentin's dad, AKA Clancy Brown, he says, Nancy, if you need anything, we're setting up a crisis center at the school. 00:58:22.699 --> 00:58:24.199 You know where my office is. 00:58:24.379 --> 00:58:27.359 And I was like, wait, Quentin's dad works at the school? 00:58:27.399 --> 00:58:28.299 Is it a college? 00:58:28.359 --> 00:58:29.439 Are they in high school? 00:58:29.679 --> 00:58:30.979 Is he a guidance counselor? 00:58:30.999 --> 00:58:32.219 Did he fail to the middle? 00:58:32.539 --> 00:58:37.179 We cut to Chris with a K, looking at photos that are framed around the grave site. 00:58:37.279 --> 00:58:43.719 And they're all pictures of Dean at various stages of his life, like from a young kid to like his early thirties. 00:58:43.839 --> 00:58:46.819 She goes over to one of the photos and you see Dean as a child. 00:58:46.839 --> 00:58:54.599 And in the background is a Photoshopped image of the little blonde hair girl who was chunking flowers in the grave and got grabbed by the leg by Freddy Krueger. 00:58:54.619 --> 00:59:00.659 And Chris with a K, she's looking and she's like, oh my God, is that me in this photo with Dean when he was a boy? 00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:03.159 How did I get Photoshopped in this picture with Dean? 00:59:03.179 --> 00:59:06.519 And then Jesse, the ex-boyfriend Bo, is gonna get good. 00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:10.759 He comes over and he says, I didn't even know that you knew Dean when you were little. 00:59:10.779 --> 00:59:12.239 My God, you smell so good. 00:59:12.259 --> 00:59:13.179 Take me back. 00:59:14.819 --> 00:59:17.479 She's like, oh my God, it's right here at funeral. 00:59:17.499 --> 00:59:19.539 This is not the time or the place. 00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:24.079 But also, Dean kept repeating to somebody, you're not real. 00:59:24.099 --> 00:59:25.579 Do you think he was talking to me? 00:59:25.659 --> 00:59:26.819 Cause I'm real. 00:59:26.979 --> 00:59:28.439 I'm as real as it gets. 00:59:28.499 --> 00:59:29.679 I'm from the streets. 00:59:29.919 --> 00:59:35.539 Also, I'm in this picture of him and I'm a kid, but we didn't meet each other till we went to like high school. 00:59:35.659 --> 00:59:37.139 This seems really weird. 00:59:37.279 --> 00:59:40.399 Maybe we knew each other when we were kids, but that's not possible. 00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:43.219 But there's a picture of us when kids, I'm confused. 00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:46.099 Is it possible that was during a ketamine breakout? 00:59:46.139 --> 00:59:47.019 Was I in a K-hole? 00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:50.099 Cause I did a lot of drugs in preschool. 00:59:50.319 --> 00:59:53.739 Jesse, our ex-boyfriend says, I don't know, Dean was on a lot of meds. 00:59:53.859 --> 00:59:55.879 I heard it made his wiener not work anymore. 00:59:55.959 --> 01:00:00.579 Not like my wiener, which works perfectly, Chris with a K, I can show if we get back together. 01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:09.519 And Chris with a K says, as if, listen, when he butchered his throat in front of me, it was like somebody else was making him do it, but nobody was there. 01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:10.879 Do you believe me, Jesse? 01:00:10.979 --> 01:00:13.339 And then Nancy walks over and says, I believe you. 01:00:13.399 --> 01:00:19.319 Yeah, and then Nancy's mom, played by Connie Britton, rolls up and it's just like, come on, Nancy, let me take you home. 01:00:19.339 --> 01:00:21.179 And she's like, fine, whatever, I don't care. 01:00:21.379 --> 01:00:25.679 Jesse, the ex-boyfriend says to Nancy, you weren't even there at the diner. 01:00:25.759 --> 01:00:28.239 I mean, well, you probably were cause you worked there, but you weren't there. 01:00:28.259 --> 01:00:29.339 You don't know what's going on. 01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:30.959 Chris with a K is grieving. 01:00:31.159 --> 01:00:32.439 Shut up, this is my moment. 01:00:32.459 --> 01:00:33.879 Trying to get back in our panties. 01:00:34.099 --> 01:00:36.239 Nancy says, you have no idea what I've seen. 01:00:36.299 --> 01:00:37.339 I'm leaving with my mom. 01:00:37.359 --> 01:00:40.279 And then we cut to Nancy in her bedroom, listening to her jams. 01:00:40.319 --> 01:00:44.539 She's sipping on water from a glass that doesn't have any icing, which is important. 01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:45.999 And then her eyes get real sleepy Bo. 01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:47.399 And oh, she does this. 01:00:47.419 --> 01:00:52.139 And we cut over to the glass of water, which has no ice, but has condensation on the outside of it. 01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:54.579 I was like, well, unless you're in the rainforest, I don't think this is possible. 01:00:54.839 --> 01:00:59.379 And also Bo, the condensation on the glass, it goes up and not down. 01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:01.479 Things are out of whack here Bo, we're in the dream world. 01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:13.199 Then we get a bigger and shittier CGI version of the Freddy coming out of the wallpaper thing from the original movie, which in the original is really creepy and eerie. 01:01:13.359 --> 01:01:15.939 And in this one, it looks terrible. 01:01:16.179 --> 01:01:18.279 It looks like House on Haunted Hill. 01:01:18.399 --> 01:01:26.259 I was going to say it looks like The Frighteners, a lot of the effects from that, but The Frighteners at least was cartoonish and silly. 01:01:26.319 --> 01:01:28.539 So you could kind of get behind it. 01:01:28.679 --> 01:01:30.119 This looks awful. 01:01:30.179 --> 01:01:33.179 And it's one of those things like, oh, we'll just use CGI. 01:01:33.199 --> 01:01:39.099 You could have seriously spent like 150 bucks and accomplish the same effect from the original movie. 01:01:39.399 --> 01:01:41.899 And it looks so much better. 01:01:41.959 --> 01:01:46.219 The original was done for, what, a 20th of the cost? 01:01:46.239 --> 01:01:48.219 Like $18.26. 01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:49.799 Everything else was craft services. 01:01:49.919 --> 01:01:51.399 They ate well on the set. 01:01:51.419 --> 01:01:54.459 Like it was just spandex and it totally works. 01:01:54.479 --> 01:01:55.899 It's really effective. 01:01:55.999 --> 01:02:00.039 And they spent so much time, like people were animating this and all that. 01:02:00.139 --> 01:02:02.799 And the end result is just garbage. 01:02:02.839 --> 01:02:06.519 And it makes you feel bad for the people who worked on that. 01:02:06.719 --> 01:02:08.179 Nancy wakes up with a startle. 01:02:08.379 --> 01:02:14.779 And the glass of water, which has no ice in it, now has condensation running down thanks to gravity, but there's still no ice. 01:02:14.799 --> 01:02:16.619 So, hey, science, suck it. 01:02:16.659 --> 01:02:23.219 We cut to downstairs over at Chris with a K's house, where we see the family dog sleeping on the dining room floor. 01:02:23.239 --> 01:02:32.159 And considering this is a Platinum Dunes movie and their track record of killing dogs, I was like, uh-oh, this is not gonna end well for this bitch. 01:02:32.259 --> 01:02:38.779 Chris with a K is going through these photo albums and like ask your mom, like, oh my God, look how fat I was as a kid. 01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:40.019 I'm so skinny now. 01:02:40.039 --> 01:02:42.439 Why didn't you give me more speed when I was a kid? 01:02:42.459 --> 01:02:43.539 I was a little porker. 01:02:43.779 --> 01:02:46.159 By the way, where are these from? 01:02:46.219 --> 01:02:47.859 Is this when I was a preschooler? 01:02:47.899 --> 01:02:50.959 Mom, where are all the pictures of me when I was super young and skinny? 01:02:51.139 --> 01:02:55.939 When I was at Dean's funeral, there was a picture of me when I was five, but I didn't even deent till we were in high school. 01:02:55.979 --> 01:03:00.359 And Chris with a K's mom says, maybe they're up in the garage in the attic. 01:03:00.379 --> 01:03:00.819 Who knows? 01:03:00.839 --> 01:03:03.419 Not me, plus nobody remembers anything when they were five. 01:03:03.439 --> 01:03:04.599 That's just a science fact. 01:03:04.619 --> 01:03:05.219 Let's have dinner. 01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:06.579 I made Tylenol PM for dinner. 01:03:06.599 --> 01:03:07.199 It's your favorite. 01:03:07.619 --> 01:03:10.179 That is my absolute favorite line. 01:03:10.179 --> 01:03:12.839 I think of this whole movie as, who can remember when they were five? 01:03:13.779 --> 01:03:14.799 Cut to that night. 01:03:15.019 --> 01:03:16.759 And Chris with a K is in her bedroom. 01:03:16.759 --> 01:03:20.779 By the way, none of these teenager bedrooms are decorated like a teenager's bedroom. 01:03:20.799 --> 01:03:23.779 They all look like this generic Airbnb rental. 01:03:23.839 --> 01:03:32.359 And Chris with a K, she goes downstairs and heads to the garage and she pulls down a ladder from the storage area up above the garage to look for these missing photos. 01:03:32.379 --> 01:03:35.119 And Chris with a K by the way, always looks put together. 01:03:35.139 --> 01:03:40.179 She looks like she's on her way to a photo shoot or to anchor the four o'clock news over at Fox News. 01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:45.199 And she goes up in this attic space, which was clearly organized by someone with OCD. 01:03:45.219 --> 01:03:46.999 I've never seen such a clean attic. 01:03:47.039 --> 01:03:51.279 And Chris with a K, she turns on the lights and she finds a box marked 1995. 01:03:51.279 --> 01:03:52.379 Chris, preschool. 01:03:52.399 --> 01:03:54.439 And there's another box that says 1996. 01:03:54.459 --> 01:03:56.459 Chris, first grade, 1997. 01:03:56.479 --> 01:03:57.619 Chris, second grade. 01:03:57.639 --> 01:04:01.019 And then I realized Chris with a K's mom is a crazy person. 01:04:03.039 --> 01:04:05.939 Like, what's her spice rack look like, alphabetized? 01:04:06.059 --> 01:04:13.759 Like all her clothes in her closet are hung up by color hue left to right, then layered based on manufactured country of origin. 01:04:13.959 --> 01:04:15.699 No wire hangers! 01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:35.679 As she's going through this, she also finds this doll that's got a torn dress and then the lights flicker a little bit and we get a flash of Freddie's face and he's just immediately on top of her saying, hey, you remember me or, I heard what your mom said about remembering stuff when you were five, but I was there. 01:04:35.799 --> 01:04:37.039 Just what, I mean, me. 01:04:37.059 --> 01:04:37.739 You remember me? 01:04:37.819 --> 01:04:38.319 I was there. 01:04:38.419 --> 01:04:41.799 And then she wakes up in bed screaming, ah, oh my God. 01:04:41.819 --> 01:04:44.219 I think I was with a homeless person. 01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:55.359 Meanwhile, cut to high school, Bo, which is the first time in this movie that we are informed that these people are in, who are clearly in their late twenties are in high school. 01:04:55.639 --> 01:05:06.019 Yeah, and so Quentin is just hanging out stalking Nancy a little bit and sees this sketch that she's putting in her locker of the horrible man from her dreams. 01:05:06.339 --> 01:05:07.199 Oh, what's that? 01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:08.779 Is it art or something? 01:05:08.819 --> 01:05:10.039 You're a real good artist. 01:05:10.059 --> 01:05:10.679 You're so pretty. 01:05:10.699 --> 01:05:15.239 If you want to talk to somebody about that guy who killed himself in the diner, you can talk to me or something if you want to. 01:05:15.259 --> 01:05:16.359 Maybe whatever, I don't know. 01:05:16.499 --> 01:05:24.319 And then you see Clancy Brown in the background, towering over all of these other adults and middle age people in the hallway. 01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:27.579 He looks like Gandalf, you know, over a bunch of hobbits. 01:05:27.619 --> 01:05:35.619 I was gonna say like Dreyfus at the end of Close Encounters as all those little aliens are reaching up to touch his arms and whatnot, but. 01:05:36.199 --> 01:05:38.339 And he barks out, he's like, Quentin, get to class! 01:05:38.499 --> 01:05:40.339 Quentin squirt around with that boring girl. 01:05:40.859 --> 01:05:46.499 We cut to a class where we see this boring teacher teaching about chlorophyll, more like Borophyll. 01:05:46.599 --> 01:05:50.539 And there's all these young adults in the classroom trying to get their GED or something. 01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:52.299 And then Chris with a K, she's among them. 01:05:52.299 --> 01:05:56.799 And she's looking through a textbook, which is full of pictures, cause nobody knows how to read in this school. 01:05:56.819 --> 01:06:01.359 And she comes across an image of a bloody glove with knives for fingers. 01:06:01.439 --> 01:06:08.319 And then Bo, uh-oh, everything goes into slow motion, except for Chris with a K who says, Oh my God, I need to wake up. 01:06:08.339 --> 01:06:09.799 Wake up, Chris with a K. 01:06:09.839 --> 01:06:12.419 And then the entire world around her shatters. 01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:18.599 And it turns into the same room, but everything is all burned in this apocalyptic style of nightmare. 01:06:18.619 --> 01:06:20.279 And it's all done with CGI. 01:06:20.319 --> 01:06:22.379 And it is immediately forgettable. 01:06:22.599 --> 01:06:29.619 Yeah, and then she looks to the front of the room where our Freddy Krueger is at the chalkboard. 01:06:29.759 --> 01:06:33.799 Yeah, Christ, you shouldn't fall asleep in class, Chris with a K. 01:06:33.819 --> 01:06:36.339 And then she's like, ah, and then runs off. 01:06:36.459 --> 01:06:37.599 And he chases after her. 01:06:37.619 --> 01:06:39.279 He's like, hey, where you going? 01:06:39.459 --> 01:06:43.019 You look as beautiful as ever when you're a little girl. 01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:47.199 I know that probably sounds like a creepy thing to say, but hey, I stand by it. 01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:49.699 You're quite fetching then and now. 01:06:50.219 --> 01:06:54.059 Then she just like, ah, and wakes up screaming again in this classroom. 01:06:54.239 --> 01:06:58.379 Only she finds it lying in her textbook. 01:06:58.459 --> 01:06:59.139 Picture book. 01:06:59.159 --> 01:07:05.579 Yeah, her picture book, my first book of history, a lock of her hair cut off late in the middle of it. 01:07:05.699 --> 01:07:14.199 As soon as the bell rings, which it does right after this, she just closes the book and holds ass out of class and arrives home immediately thereafter. 01:07:14.299 --> 01:07:18.179 Either that was the last class of the day or she decided to do a little bit of ditching. 01:07:18.359 --> 01:07:20.559 When she arrives home, Bo, where does she live? 01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:21.579 What, Elm Street? 01:07:21.759 --> 01:07:22.419 Is that right? 01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:28.019 It's the only time in the movie that Elm Street is even mentioned. 01:07:28.279 --> 01:07:32.179 She drives by and he's just like, huh, okay, whatever. 01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:35.579 I was like, so does everyone in this movie live on Elm Street? 01:07:35.759 --> 01:07:36.799 Of course they don't. 01:07:37.099 --> 01:07:38.979 It has nothing to do with that whatsoever. 01:07:38.999 --> 01:07:39.279 Yeah. 01:07:39.479 --> 01:07:44.679 In the first movie, Nancy and Glenn, Johnny Depp's character, they both live on Elm Street. 01:07:44.719 --> 01:07:46.699 Well, cause Glenn lives, yeah, across the street. 01:07:46.859 --> 01:07:48.439 In this one, it just doesn't matter. 01:07:49.619 --> 01:07:57.179 We skip over the best character of the movie, which is her dog Rufus, where she's like, oh my God, Rufus, get inside. 01:07:57.379 --> 01:08:11.019 So she sneaks up to the attic again, and then her mom interrupts her to say like, hey baby doll, I'm gonna be on the red-eye to London leaving you, an underage teenager alone in the house for a while. 01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:17.759 Who just saw someone slit their own throat in a local diner and also embarrassingly fell asleep at the funeral. 01:08:17.779 --> 01:08:19.319 But you're cool, right? 01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:21.439 Just like, oh yeah, I'm totally fine. 01:08:21.459 --> 01:08:24.519 By the way, you're not gonna take those pills in the cabinet, are you? 01:08:24.539 --> 01:08:25.699 Oh no, no, no, of course not. 01:08:25.719 --> 01:08:27.439 Okay, then I'm gonna be totally fine. 01:08:27.579 --> 01:08:30.679 Also keys to the liquor cabinet, they're in the lock of the liquor cabinet. 01:08:30.699 --> 01:08:32.259 Just turn it to the right, pop it open. 01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:41.299 I filled it with your favorite vodka, vanilla vodka, raspberry vodka, chocolate vodka, vodka vodka, potato vodka and just regular vodka and vodka light. 01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:42.459 I know you're trying to watch your figure. 01:08:42.579 --> 01:08:44.839 You don't want to become a big fatso like you were when you were four. 01:08:44.899 --> 01:08:56.859 Also, if the key somehow slips out of the lock and falls under the cabinet and you can't reach it, you can just fonzie it open by hitting it with your elbow and that front door will just pop open. 01:08:56.939 --> 01:09:01.039 And if that doesn't work, there's a loaded gun on the top of the liquor cabinet. 01:09:01.059 --> 01:09:01.559 Just shoot it. 01:09:01.719 --> 01:09:04.619 Just shoot at it until it comes over. 01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:09.259 Anyway, so that night, Chris with a K is reading Dean's obituary. 01:09:09.339 --> 01:09:12.239 With a photo of this guy from like 15 years earlier. 01:09:12.799 --> 01:09:14.459 It looks like Dean's kid. 01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:14.859 Oh my God. 01:09:14.879 --> 01:09:17.019 Can you believe I dated this piece of ass? 01:09:17.039 --> 01:09:18.639 He looks great in this picture. 01:09:18.839 --> 01:09:22.179 She is startled when Jesse shows up out of nowhere. 01:09:23.339 --> 01:09:25.039 He climbs through the window of her house. 01:09:25.059 --> 01:09:28.219 He kind of pulls a Glen from the original movie. 01:09:28.459 --> 01:09:32.119 Anyway, he's like, hey, look, I know I've been a little bit of an asshole. 01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:33.239 That was fucked up. 01:09:33.259 --> 01:09:33.859 You know what? 01:09:33.939 --> 01:09:35.359 Dean was my best friend. 01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:36.739 Not really, but whatever. 01:09:36.959 --> 01:09:37.919 What's going on? 01:09:37.939 --> 01:09:38.219 Yeah. 01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:39.419 That's really what he says. 01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:41.319 He's like, yo, he's my friend too, kind of. 01:09:41.399 --> 01:09:43.019 Hey, I just want to know what's going on. 01:09:43.099 --> 01:09:44.419 What's going on in this movie? 01:09:45.119 --> 01:09:45.819 Oh my God. 01:09:45.859 --> 01:09:47.019 I've been having dreams. 01:09:47.039 --> 01:09:51.399 And Dean told me he was having them too, like nightmares, not good dreams, but scary dreams. 01:09:51.859 --> 01:09:54.639 And I live on Elm Street, in case you missed it earlier. 01:09:54.659 --> 01:09:57.039 And oh, I'm so scared, Jesse. 01:09:57.139 --> 01:10:01.579 And then Jesse's like, when I get scared, I like to relax by taking off my shirt and my pants. 01:10:01.599 --> 01:10:03.799 Maybe we should relax together, you and me, babe, right? 01:10:03.819 --> 01:10:04.099 Come on. 01:10:04.459 --> 01:10:05.159 As if. 01:10:05.219 --> 01:10:08.099 Every time I dream, I see this weird man. 01:10:08.179 --> 01:10:12.659 He's burned and melted like a grilled cheese, but not a good one, like a burnt one. 01:10:12.699 --> 01:10:16.779 And he's trying to attack me with these knives on his fingers, babe. 01:10:16.799 --> 01:10:17.879 I had the same dream too. 01:10:17.939 --> 01:10:21.499 And his voice is all scratchy and he smells like microwave chili lime pork rind. 01:10:21.519 --> 01:10:26.819 He's got his shoes on the wrong feet and he's got this hat that he thinks looks cool, but nobody has the courage to tell him he looks like a jackass. 01:10:26.979 --> 01:10:27.879 I had the same dream, babe. 01:10:27.919 --> 01:10:30.259 Oh my God, we're having the same dream. 01:10:30.279 --> 01:10:31.899 How about you stay here with me? 01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:33.999 Sounds like my way in. 01:10:35.299 --> 01:10:38.399 And so they're asleep later in bed. 01:10:38.599 --> 01:10:43.259 Chris with a K wakes up to the sound of the best character in the movie, Rufus the dog barking. 01:10:44.059 --> 01:10:50.239 And so she goes outside to get Rufus, then of course finds the dog dead and split open. 01:10:50.719 --> 01:10:52.479 It's a Platinum Dooms production, Bo. 01:10:52.539 --> 01:10:54.819 If there's a dog in the movie, you gotta kill it. 01:10:54.839 --> 01:10:56.919 That's a Platinum Dooms signature move. 01:10:57.099 --> 01:11:04.119 If you go to Platinum Dooms headquarters, there's this big mural on the wall with all of the Platinum Dooms commandments on it. 01:11:04.139 --> 01:11:05.959 Number one, no original thoughts. 01:11:06.379 --> 01:11:07.919 Number two, always kill the dog. 01:11:08.199 --> 01:11:11.499 Number three, it's Michael Bay's way or the highway. 01:11:11.519 --> 01:11:13.139 Number four, break all the rules. 01:11:13.259 --> 01:11:15.219 Number five, ignore rule number four. 01:11:15.379 --> 01:11:17.619 Number six, 27 is the new 17. 01:11:18.099 --> 01:11:22.579 Number seven is it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to make money. 01:11:22.839 --> 01:11:24.979 And number eight is no fat chicks. 01:11:25.639 --> 01:11:28.139 Wow, that number eight's a real killer. 01:11:28.339 --> 01:11:34.039 She, you know, gasps when she sees this dead dog split open, clearly by knife fingers, by the way. 01:11:34.319 --> 01:11:38.599 And out comes Freddy and he's like, oh look, I'm real sorry about that dog. 01:11:38.619 --> 01:11:41.559 I was just patting him and I didn't take off the glove first. 01:11:41.579 --> 01:11:44.779 That's a real egg on my face, but whoopsie. 01:11:44.899 --> 01:11:45.679 Sorry about that. 01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:47.799 Hey, I'll get you another dog. 01:11:47.819 --> 01:11:57.299 Do you have a favorite breed or is he looking for something bigger, maybe a smaller one, something like one of them toy poodles, keep in your purse or something? 01:11:57.739 --> 01:11:59.219 I'll use my other hand, I promise. 01:11:59.239 --> 01:12:02.639 I won't show up with just a pile of runny dog. 01:12:02.779 --> 01:12:03.999 Yeah, that's what you got there. 01:12:04.019 --> 01:12:08.519 Also, it's not gonna be a purebred because I'm gonna go to the pound. 01:12:08.619 --> 01:12:11.459 After hours, of course, break in, just grab something. 01:12:11.479 --> 01:12:12.839 It's gotta be a shelter dog. 01:12:13.659 --> 01:12:19.519 I'll tell you what, I get them when they're dreaming of chasing rabbits and I just slip into their dreams and I grab them. 01:12:19.539 --> 01:12:21.219 Yeah, you ever seen a dog sleep? 01:12:21.299 --> 01:12:22.919 God damn, it's adorable. 01:12:22.939 --> 01:12:28.319 They're just laying there on their side, kicking their legs like, HURH, HURH, and you're like, what's that dog dreaming about? 01:12:28.339 --> 01:12:29.639 You should think about that. 01:12:29.679 --> 01:12:34.539 But I know, because I'm there with them and it's usually just them barking at other dogs. 01:12:34.859 --> 01:12:40.439 Sometimes it's rabbits or squirrels or, hey, hey, look, I'm sorry, I'm way off topic here. 01:12:40.659 --> 01:12:42.459 I gotta terrorize you for a little bit. 01:12:42.519 --> 01:12:48.999 And so she ends up being grabbed by this little girl and sees kids jumping rope and they're singing the Freddie song. 01:12:49.159 --> 01:12:54.639 Then Freddie is like, hey, before I do my slicing up, I like to get in the mood, play a little game here. 01:12:54.659 --> 01:12:57.199 So I'll tell you what, let's play hide and seek. 01:12:57.239 --> 01:12:59.059 Ready or not, here I come. 01:12:59.159 --> 01:13:00.499 And then she wakes up. 01:13:00.519 --> 01:13:01.839 And she's all covered in sweat. 01:13:01.859 --> 01:13:03.839 Yeah, and Jesse doesn't wake up. 01:13:03.939 --> 01:13:06.779 He's a heavy sleeper, especially after he has an orgasm. 01:13:06.859 --> 01:13:10.159 Right, if only she'd been part of it, but it was just him jerking off. 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:12.479 So Chris with a K goes into the bathroom. 01:13:12.499 --> 01:13:14.299 She splashes a little water on her face. 01:13:14.339 --> 01:13:15.379 She heads back to bed. 01:13:15.419 --> 01:13:16.819 Jesse is still snoozing. 01:13:16.959 --> 01:13:19.539 She sits on the bed and then she lies down. 01:13:19.739 --> 01:13:23.739 And then Freddie Krueger pops up beside her and he says, hey, I found you. 01:13:24.259 --> 01:13:26.179 And then Chris with a K is asleep. 01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:37.719 And we get this extreme wha wha wha wha version of the girl being mysteriously launched around the bedroom, like up above the bed, over to the wall, onto the ceiling. 01:13:37.739 --> 01:13:40.379 And Freddie Krueger is just bouncing around like a racquetball. 01:13:40.439 --> 01:13:42.159 It's way too much for this movie. 01:13:42.339 --> 01:13:43.959 It's so over the top. 01:13:44.099 --> 01:13:51.119 And it ultimately ends with Chris with a K getting four lacerations across her chest from her neck to her waist. 01:13:51.279 --> 01:13:52.639 RIP Chris with a K. 01:13:52.759 --> 01:13:53.299 That's right. 01:13:53.339 --> 01:14:00.259 So Jesse, now covered in the blood of Chris with a K, rushes over, is like, uh, I don't- 01:14:00.279 --> 01:14:01.559 Oh my God, are you on your period? 01:14:01.759 --> 01:14:02.739 Oh whoa, you're dead. 01:14:02.759 --> 01:14:05.039 I don't think I can do anything here. 01:14:05.099 --> 01:14:06.459 So he just bails. 01:14:06.659 --> 01:14:07.299 As you do. 01:14:07.459 --> 01:14:10.519 Right, sets off the alarm for the house, by the way. 01:14:11.199 --> 01:14:18.079 And then you hear, as he's running through the brush, somebody from another house go, I'm calling the cops. 01:14:19.739 --> 01:14:21.279 They got a good neighborhood watch. 01:14:21.399 --> 01:14:23.179 You know what my neighborhood watch is? 01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:24.659 We watch people do shit. 01:14:25.499 --> 01:14:27.159 Look at that, they got fucking robbed, man. 01:14:27.219 --> 01:14:28.359 I think he's got a friend. 01:14:28.379 --> 01:14:29.739 They're getting all of their shit. 01:14:29.759 --> 01:14:30.419 That's good. 01:14:30.519 --> 01:14:31.379 Look at that TV. 01:14:31.399 --> 01:14:31.839 That's nice. 01:14:31.839 --> 01:14:32.739 I should get one of those. 01:14:32.759 --> 01:14:35.279 I wonder if I could just pay that guy 300 bucks and get that TV. 01:14:36.379 --> 01:14:40.459 Hey, hey, I'll give you 200 bucks for that TV. 01:14:41.159 --> 01:14:42.119 Oh shit, they're coming over. 01:14:42.999 --> 01:14:44.119 But you got to mount it. 01:14:44.579 --> 01:14:45.479 Oh, now they're leaving. 01:14:45.759 --> 01:14:46.739 We could have had a good TV. 01:14:46.759 --> 01:14:47.539 That's my fault. 01:14:47.559 --> 01:14:48.479 They're not Best Buy. 01:14:48.499 --> 01:14:49.319 I should have known better. 01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:51.059 You don't hit on 20. 01:14:54.479 --> 01:14:59.759 So Nancy, meanwhile, is sketching in her book of depression. 01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:02.739 And her mom comes in as like, look at these pictures. 01:15:02.759 --> 01:15:04.559 I'm just trying to express my emotions. 01:15:04.739 --> 01:15:07.999 Her mom comes in to be like, Nancy, you need to go to bed. 01:15:08.019 --> 01:15:09.459 All right, mom, I'll go to bed. 01:15:09.479 --> 01:15:12.339 I don't know what the difference between wake and sleep is. 01:15:12.699 --> 01:15:14.279 Just seems to all be the same. 01:15:14.399 --> 01:15:15.759 All right, honey, whatever. 01:15:15.779 --> 01:15:17.559 I got to get her to a therapist. 01:15:17.619 --> 01:15:23.639 And Jesse shows up covered in blood is like, Nancy, you are not going to believe what happened. 01:15:24.379 --> 01:15:26.659 First off, I didn't kill Chris with a K. 01:15:26.719 --> 01:15:28.639 Second off, yes, this is her blood. 01:15:28.659 --> 01:15:33.099 Third off, it's not all of her blood, just most of it, and it's all over me. 01:15:33.159 --> 01:15:34.079 Funny story. 01:15:34.099 --> 01:15:35.799 You're gonna get a real kick out of this. 01:15:36.099 --> 01:15:43.819 So he starts telling her about the guy with the knives and then Nancy goes, one, two, Freddy's coming for you. 01:15:43.959 --> 01:15:45.619 And he's like, yeah, that's a song. 01:15:45.939 --> 01:15:47.359 Are you asleep right now? 01:15:47.719 --> 01:15:49.199 This all just makes sense to me. 01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:50.359 I completely understand. 01:15:50.379 --> 01:15:51.359 It's totally believable. 01:15:51.419 --> 01:15:54.339 And Bo, then there's a knock at the door and it's Nancy's mom. 01:15:54.359 --> 01:15:57.519 It's been like two minutes and her mom can't get in the room for some reason. 01:15:57.539 --> 01:16:00.399 She just opened the door, but now it's locked. 01:16:00.419 --> 01:16:01.279 I don't know, however. 01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:02.579 Jesse's like, I gotta go. 01:16:02.699 --> 01:16:07.739 So he escapes out the window, which I was like, oh, I guess that's how he got in the first place. 01:16:07.879 --> 01:16:14.159 And there's like 20 cops down on the ground and Jesse's screaming as he runs, hey, I didn't kill Chris with a K, I loved her. 01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:18.339 Yeah, it was in her bedroom when she died and there was nobody else there, but it wasn't me. 01:16:18.339 --> 01:16:20.559 Yeah, I cranked it with a pair of her dirty panties. 01:16:20.619 --> 01:16:22.139 You gotta believe me, why would I lie? 01:16:22.219 --> 01:16:23.779 Just to stand in jail for the rest of my life? 01:16:23.879 --> 01:16:28.279 That's ridiculous, I didn't do it, I'm innocent, but these are her panties and that's my semen. 01:16:28.539 --> 01:16:37.459 And also like over his shoulder, he kind of throws the premise of the movie where he's like, by the way, don't fall asleep because if you die in your dreams, you die for real. 01:16:37.559 --> 01:16:39.179 That's the whole thing that's going on, bye. 01:16:39.439 --> 01:16:44.879 And he gets out of her window, takes about three steps and then the cops surround him. 01:16:44.999 --> 01:16:46.219 They gave him the smack down. 01:16:46.439 --> 01:16:53.639 And he does what any good lawyer will tell you to do in this situation, Chad, which is to yell over and over, I didn't kill her. 01:16:53.659 --> 01:16:58.919 So let me ask you this, Mr. 01:16:58.939 --> 01:17:03.739 Jesse, did you tell the arresting officers that you didn't kill her over and over again? 01:17:03.759 --> 01:17:07.719 It all depends on what your definition of over and over again is. 01:17:08.039 --> 01:17:11.179 If you say it at least three times, usually they just let you go. 01:17:11.439 --> 01:17:12.559 Did you say it three times? 01:17:12.799 --> 01:17:14.299 Just twice, this is important. 01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:17.559 Cause if you said it three times, I can probably get you out in the next 15 minutes. 01:17:17.699 --> 01:17:18.859 I think I just said it twice. 01:17:18.879 --> 01:17:19.799 Ah, you're fucked. 01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:22.259 You're gonna burn for this one, Jesse. 01:17:22.479 --> 01:17:23.859 You gotta say it three times. 01:17:23.879 --> 01:17:26.759 Yeah, so he's immediately taken to jail and locked up. 01:17:26.939 --> 01:17:29.579 In an orange jumpsuit, they throw him in this cell. 01:17:29.719 --> 01:17:34.439 The cellmate he's in with hops off the top bunk and I was like, man, I saw HBO's Oz. 01:17:34.519 --> 01:17:38.279 I know how this is gonna end for 27, 17 year old Jesse. 01:17:38.299 --> 01:17:41.999 Oh yeah, he's gonna be hanging on to somebody's turned out pocket in no time. 01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:50.639 We come back to Nancy's house and she calls up Quentin and Nancy says, hey, you said if I needed to talk, I wanna let you know Chris with a K is dead. 01:17:50.959 --> 01:17:52.259 Is this a dial tone? 01:17:52.279 --> 01:17:52.999 Who is this? 01:17:53.159 --> 01:17:54.359 That's me, Nancy. 01:17:54.579 --> 01:17:57.059 Remember, you stalked me at the diner. 01:17:57.219 --> 01:17:59.939 The moment that guy cut his throat across his throat. 01:18:02.019 --> 01:18:03.399 Is it, hello? 01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:05.659 Click. 01:18:06.319 --> 01:18:07.419 Must've been a wrong number. 01:18:07.459 --> 01:18:09.899 I think I was just called by the phone company. 01:18:10.199 --> 01:18:17.759 So we go back to the jail cell and Jesse's there and he's trying to stay awake and his cellmate is telling Jesse to just shut the fuck up, but he won't. 01:18:17.839 --> 01:18:23.499 So then suddenly it's the next morning and Quentin is meeting Nancy at the local bookstore and coffee shop. 01:18:23.519 --> 01:18:31.679 And he's doing an internet search on a site called Gigablast, a search engine name so ridiculous that it's got to be real and Bo, it is. 01:18:31.879 --> 01:18:33.099 That's shocking to me. 01:18:33.119 --> 01:18:37.379 I would have sworn, Chad, that this was made up. 01:18:37.679 --> 01:18:39.059 See, you know what, listener? 01:18:39.219 --> 01:18:41.219 We do the work so you don't have to. 01:18:41.299 --> 01:18:42.619 That's really directed at me. 01:18:42.799 --> 01:18:43.559 I understand that. 01:18:43.899 --> 01:18:48.339 But yeah, so Quentin falls asleep while he's doing his research. 01:18:48.359 --> 01:18:53.599 And when he wakes up in the bookstore, he sees this little preschool girl wandering among the stacks. 01:18:53.779 --> 01:19:02.299 And so he just follows her to this table where there are a bunch of kids assembled seated around it and Freddie is sitting down with him. 01:19:02.519 --> 01:19:08.059 Then Nancy wakes him up with her shocking, hey, I was just wondering if you were away. 01:19:09.339 --> 01:19:12.199 And hey, what did you say, was it Freddie that scared you? 01:19:12.379 --> 01:19:14.699 And he's like, am I still asleep? 01:19:14.899 --> 01:19:17.219 Well, why would you say that? 01:19:17.359 --> 01:19:18.319 You're wide awake. 01:19:18.359 --> 01:19:20.159 Then the movie cuts back to the jail. 01:19:20.219 --> 01:19:25.979 Jesse has apparently stayed up all night and an officer comes to the door and says, get up, you folks just posted your mail. 01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:27.039 Ha cha cha cha cha. 01:19:27.439 --> 01:19:34.939 And then Jesse walks out of the jail and he turns around as he's going down the hallway and the whole place turns into a boiler room. 01:19:34.959 --> 01:19:37.059 So you're like, uh oh, Jesse's asleep. 01:19:37.119 --> 01:19:44.099 And this is something that this movie does repeatedly, just shift from the real world to the dream world with these head fakes. 01:19:44.119 --> 01:19:51.939 It's like a jerk at work who constantly says slightly unbelievable dumb shit and it's followed with a, huh, just kidding. 01:19:52.239 --> 01:19:53.879 Like, hey, did your mic got fired? 01:19:54.119 --> 01:19:54.499 What? 01:19:54.699 --> 01:19:55.659 Huh, just kidding. 01:19:55.679 --> 01:19:58.939 Hey, they said we're gonna get a half day on Friday. 01:19:59.079 --> 01:19:59.499 Really? 01:19:59.519 --> 01:20:00.879 Huh, just kidding. 01:20:01.179 --> 01:20:05.719 Janet HR said, I'm gonna get fired for hiding that camera in the bathroom. 01:20:06.039 --> 01:20:07.279 Well, as well you should. 01:20:07.559 --> 01:20:08.359 Just kidding. 01:20:08.559 --> 01:20:09.459 Nobody found it yet. 01:20:09.519 --> 01:20:10.599 Ain't I a stinker? 01:20:10.779 --> 01:20:14.619 Also, why in the world are we seeing a boiler room? 01:20:14.639 --> 01:20:17.159 Because there is not one in this movie. 01:20:17.299 --> 01:20:22.059 Other than in these dream sequences, but it has no relation to Freddy Krueger. 01:20:22.079 --> 01:20:23.879 Well, because that was in the first movie. 01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:25.339 Oh, okay. 01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:27.639 It doesn't have to make sense if it's a reference. 01:20:28.039 --> 01:20:28.579 Got it. 01:20:28.799 --> 01:20:30.019 That's rule number seven. 01:20:30.039 --> 01:20:30.939 It doesn't have to make sense. 01:20:30.959 --> 01:20:31.999 It just has to make money, Bo. 01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:38.059 So Jesse hears Chris with a K asking for help somewhere in this boiler room. 01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:43.599 And so he just wanders around until Freddy finally finds him and starts stalking him through this place. 01:20:43.679 --> 01:20:47.859 Jesse comes across a bunch of bodies hung upside down and kind of burned up. 01:20:48.039 --> 01:20:51.519 Once Chris with a K, because he's like, Chris, is that you? 01:20:51.779 --> 01:20:52.459 And who's that? 01:20:52.879 --> 01:20:54.819 Oh, some other dickhead. 01:20:54.879 --> 01:20:55.899 You're like, oh, it's Dean. 01:20:56.399 --> 01:20:56.799 Yeah. 01:20:57.379 --> 01:21:01.539 And Freddy kind of sneaks up behind him and Jesse turns around, he's like, oh God. 01:21:01.559 --> 01:21:03.999 And he's like, no God, just me. 01:21:04.299 --> 01:21:08.779 Oh, hey, I didn't mean to disparage any religion in particular or anything. 01:21:08.799 --> 01:21:13.979 It's just, you know, this is my dream world and I don't want anyone else to get credit for it. 01:21:13.999 --> 01:21:15.879 I mean, I do a lot of work on this place. 01:21:16.059 --> 01:21:18.279 Jesse is like, what can I do to get out of this? 01:21:18.419 --> 01:21:20.139 And Freddy says, I don't know. 01:21:20.179 --> 01:21:22.459 Can you turn back time, like share? 01:21:22.539 --> 01:21:25.039 Can you bring the dead back to life? 01:21:25.259 --> 01:21:27.999 And Jesse just kind of screams and covers his face. 01:21:28.099 --> 01:21:40.959 And then we get the best line, I think, of the whole movie outside of the, who knows what happens when you're five, but like legitimately a good creepy line for Freddy Krueger to say, which is, why are you screaming? 01:21:41.019 --> 01:21:43.059 I haven't even started cutting you yet. 01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:45.759 And you're like, oh, okay, well, that's pretty scary. 01:21:45.799 --> 01:21:49.099 And then Freddy disappears and Jesse's like, huh? 01:21:49.119 --> 01:21:54.019 Did my simpering like a child disgust him so much that he left? 01:21:54.799 --> 01:22:00.919 And then Freddy's knives just shoved through his gut, which results in him collapsing in a bloody heap in the real world. 01:22:01.019 --> 01:22:07.139 And the cellmate then pulls what I like to call a Jesse by saying, I didn't kill this guy. 01:22:07.259 --> 01:22:08.659 Well, they got the same lawyer. 01:22:08.959 --> 01:22:12.019 He's screaming it three times because he's not gonna take the fall for this. 01:22:12.199 --> 01:22:19.439 Another pretty creepy moment from Freddy here, which is you cut back to the dream world and Freddy says, uh, I like trivia. 01:22:19.699 --> 01:22:29.259 And I don't know if you knew this, Jesse, but the brain functions for seven minutes after you die, which means we've got six more minutes to play. 01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:31.619 Jesse's just like, ah. 01:22:31.719 --> 01:22:33.019 Oh, that's a waste of time. 01:22:33.159 --> 01:22:35.039 Oh, also I gotta make an egg. 01:22:35.059 --> 01:22:36.939 So hold on, I'm gonna start the egg. 01:22:37.099 --> 01:22:39.139 Then I'm gonna finish torturing you. 01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:42.359 And by the time you're dead, that egg will be ready. 01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:58.019 You know, you talked about Jackie Earl Haley's performance as Freddy Krueger and maybe the limitations of the makeup or the prosthetics, but like his old performance was tough for me to wrap my head around because in the original, like the very first movie, Freddy Krueger is not a very charismatic character. 01:22:58.039 --> 01:23:05.299 He's more mysterious and subtle and is defined by the surrealistic world of dreams around him. 01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:09.359 In this movie, it sounds like he's on medication to keep him even. 01:23:09.459 --> 01:23:16.139 And then when we get to the root cause of his actions, it's just so uncomfortable that it's almost difficult to watch. 01:23:16.319 --> 01:23:24.379 Not in a cover your eyes, this is scary kind of way, but in a, hey, you want to watch a documentary about people who work as veterinary assistants? 01:23:24.859 --> 01:23:27.419 Because they enjoy euthanizing dogs and cats? 01:23:27.439 --> 01:23:28.199 Let's watch it. 01:23:29.039 --> 01:23:31.699 Like, no, I don't want to watch that. 01:23:31.979 --> 01:23:32.799 Yeah. 01:23:32.819 --> 01:23:33.819 That sounds horrible. 01:23:33.879 --> 01:23:37.639 There is a movie in which this performance fits. 01:23:37.979 --> 01:23:40.219 There's just not enough around it. 01:23:40.239 --> 01:23:44.099 Like you need to kind of know from jump what you're dealing with. 01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:51.159 And the biggest problem I would say by far in this movie is that it tries to play so coy with its real premise. 01:23:51.399 --> 01:24:01.079 And at a certain point that we'll get to in the not too distant future here, la la la, there is going to be a moment where the movie asks you to have some sympathy for this character. 01:24:01.259 --> 01:24:04.819 And after what you've seen, why on earth would you? 01:24:05.159 --> 01:24:06.159 Well, you wouldn't. 01:24:06.279 --> 01:24:06.719 Right. 01:24:06.999 --> 01:24:14.659 And also this movie feels like it's trying to do for Freddy Krueger what Nolan's Batman did for that character. 01:24:14.679 --> 01:24:20.619 Let's get away from the camp and the silliness and let's really root it in reality and child abuse. 01:24:20.819 --> 01:24:22.599 That just doesn't belong here. 01:24:22.679 --> 01:24:24.819 I think it's completely misplaced. 01:24:24.879 --> 01:24:25.199 Yeah. 01:24:25.219 --> 01:24:28.779 It would be like, oh, by the way, Freddy Krueger's grandfather, Hitler. 01:24:28.799 --> 01:24:30.379 Like, what the fuck? 01:24:33.859 --> 01:24:35.019 It's way out of line. 01:24:35.039 --> 01:24:35.659 That's right. 01:24:35.799 --> 01:24:39.839 His grandfather was Freddy Krueger Adolf Hitler. 01:24:40.059 --> 01:24:41.179 What? 01:24:41.959 --> 01:24:46.759 So we cut back to this bookstore where Quentin and Nancy are both like, I'm tired. 01:24:46.779 --> 01:24:47.279 You tired? 01:24:47.299 --> 01:24:48.039 I'm real tired. 01:24:48.179 --> 01:24:48.819 Take this. 01:24:48.839 --> 01:24:50.659 It's called Zone Roll. 01:24:50.699 --> 01:24:53.939 It's like speed for kids with attention deficit disorder. 01:24:53.959 --> 01:24:56.379 I've been on it since I was like 15. 01:24:56.399 --> 01:24:57.339 So like what? 01:24:57.479 --> 01:24:58.199 12 years? 01:24:58.219 --> 01:24:59.099 I mean, two years. 01:24:59.379 --> 01:25:03.759 She sees that he's wearing a cross and she's like, oh, that's weird. 01:25:03.779 --> 01:25:05.199 Why are you wearing a cross? 01:25:05.379 --> 01:25:08.839 Is it because of some deep seeded religious belief or something? 01:25:08.859 --> 01:25:10.419 God, I believe in something. 01:25:10.519 --> 01:25:12.939 Have you heard of Joseph Smith in the Book of Mormon? 01:25:13.019 --> 01:25:13.999 Where are you going, Nancy? 01:25:14.599 --> 01:25:16.459 Also, have you heard of the Joy Division? 01:25:16.479 --> 01:25:21.759 It's the same shirt that I'm wearing in every scene in this movie because I'm kind of an alternative hipster guy. 01:25:22.059 --> 01:25:24.179 You know, let's change the subjects. 01:25:24.199 --> 01:25:26.379 My favorite thing to do, changing the subject. 01:25:27.139 --> 01:25:28.919 Hey, you got a book over there. 01:25:28.939 --> 01:25:30.179 It looks like a children's book. 01:25:30.319 --> 01:25:33.679 It's probably something that everybody's read and heard of in our life except me. 01:25:33.879 --> 01:25:34.979 What's that book about? 01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:37.819 Oh, this, it's called The Pied Piper. 01:25:37.859 --> 01:25:41.679 He showed up in this town full of rats and he got rid of the rats. 01:25:41.859 --> 01:25:44.019 And then the townspeople, they didn't pay him. 01:25:44.299 --> 01:25:46.879 So they got revenge by taking all the children. 01:25:47.539 --> 01:25:54.659 I'm not sure how this is analogous to any other stories being told in this movie, but you know, some people just start good at writing screenplays. 01:25:54.719 --> 01:25:56.099 Oh God, why would I say that? 01:25:56.119 --> 01:25:56.719 You're so pretty. 01:25:57.119 --> 01:26:01.579 Maybe it's a meta commentary or something that may, or just a side effect or a zone or all. 01:26:01.759 --> 01:26:03.879 I don't know, but my penis still works. 01:26:03.999 --> 01:26:07.479 He has books on sleep and sleep deprivation. 01:26:07.539 --> 01:26:09.219 There's a copy of Good Night Moon there. 01:26:09.779 --> 01:26:17.359 But this one copy of this Pied Piper story, and that's the one that she fixes on, is just one of the dumbest things in this movie. 01:26:17.379 --> 01:26:21.339 But he also introduces the idea of micro naps. 01:26:21.539 --> 01:26:22.999 How awesome did that sound? 01:26:23.099 --> 01:26:28.559 It sounded great, and it's real convenient when it's used in this movie, because it doesn't happen all the time. 01:26:28.619 --> 01:26:32.059 Do you want to explain what a micro nap is for people who haven't seen this movie? 01:26:32.079 --> 01:26:42.999 The idea is that you become so tired that your body shuts down for like a minute at a time, where you're in a dream state, but you don't know you are. 01:26:43.259 --> 01:26:50.339 And then the ultimate end of this is that you slip into a coma, which he describes as, that's like a forever dream. 01:26:50.579 --> 01:26:54.659 Then Nancy just leaves, because we got to go back home and advance the story a little bit. 01:26:54.799 --> 01:26:57.059 Nancy's mom finds her sketching some more. 01:26:57.239 --> 01:27:01.879 Nancy says, hey, do I have a connection with Chris and Jesse and all those kids? 01:27:01.899 --> 01:27:04.839 Because it seems like I do, but maybe I don't, I don't really know. 01:27:04.959 --> 01:27:06.259 No, definitely not. 01:27:06.279 --> 01:27:11.379 No, you never knew any of those people when you all attended preschool together. 01:27:11.399 --> 01:27:12.479 Why would you think that? 01:27:12.759 --> 01:27:15.419 Dude, you know a guy named Freddie? 01:27:15.739 --> 01:27:18.359 Whoa, geez, Freddie, Freddie, let me think. 01:27:19.199 --> 01:27:20.879 Freddie thinking Freddie. 01:27:20.999 --> 01:27:22.519 Is that with an F or a PH? 01:27:22.559 --> 01:27:23.019 An F? 01:27:23.099 --> 01:27:24.079 Okay, let me think. 01:27:24.439 --> 01:27:25.359 Oh, Freddie. 01:27:25.759 --> 01:27:29.179 Does that end with a Y or an IE or two E's? 01:27:29.559 --> 01:27:32.399 People spell their names in the most crazy ways. 01:27:32.419 --> 01:27:32.979 Am I right? 01:27:32.999 --> 01:27:33.879 Let's go with a Y. 01:27:33.899 --> 01:27:35.879 Freddie, Freddie with a Y, Freddie with a Y. 01:27:36.499 --> 01:27:37.599 No, you know what? 01:27:37.719 --> 01:27:40.639 I'm gonna go downstairs because I'm tired of lying to you. 01:27:40.659 --> 01:27:41.459 See you later, hon. 01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:44.679 Boy, that was weird, but what are you gonna do? 01:27:44.699 --> 01:27:51.499 Then her mom goes downstairs to call Clancy Brown and says ominously, Nancy's starting to remember. 01:27:51.659 --> 01:27:52.839 Dum, dum, dum. 01:27:53.499 --> 01:27:56.559 And then we have their version of the bath scene. 01:27:56.759 --> 01:28:01.259 Yeah, she sets a timer on her phone to wake her up, which I was like, how long are you gonna be in the tub? 01:28:01.959 --> 01:28:02.439 Right. 01:28:02.579 --> 01:28:09.639 And so there's the glove in the water, like that, you know, comes up between her legs, which is surprisingly restrained for this moment. 01:28:09.679 --> 01:28:15.459 But then she gets out of the tub, towels off, and is suddenly in a winter wonderland in her bedroom. 01:28:15.539 --> 01:28:16.419 Well, it's an Arnea. 01:28:16.579 --> 01:28:20.039 And so she finds a sign for the Badham School. 01:28:20.139 --> 01:28:21.699 Cause she's in the dream world, Bo. 01:28:22.299 --> 01:28:27.659 And so she goes to that and then Freddie pops up and is like, hey there, Nancy, you're all grown up. 01:28:27.899 --> 01:28:32.859 You remember me, by the way, Freddie, look, you were always my number one girl. 01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:34.639 You were my little Nancy. 01:28:34.659 --> 01:28:37.799 Freddie with an F with a Y at the end, not an IE or two E's. 01:28:37.979 --> 01:28:41.239 People spell their names in the craziest damn ways these days. 01:28:41.259 --> 01:28:43.059 Come here a second, let me give you a little lick. 01:28:44.119 --> 01:28:48.519 One of the bowler lines of the movie says, wow, you smell different. 01:28:48.719 --> 01:28:49.339 Gross. 01:28:49.399 --> 01:28:52.079 And then the alarm wakes her up and she's like, oh. 01:28:52.259 --> 01:28:54.839 No, no, Nancy says, oh my God, you're so gross. 01:28:54.959 --> 01:28:56.379 I set an alarm on my phone. 01:28:56.559 --> 01:29:00.579 And Freddie Krueger says, yeah, but you set it in your dreams. 01:29:00.839 --> 01:29:04.239 So it don't matter because this is a dream and it's a dream phone. 01:29:04.299 --> 01:29:05.799 So joke's on you. 01:29:05.899 --> 01:29:11.319 But then the phone ring because someone's calling her and Nancy wakes up in the tub and she answers the phone. 01:29:11.379 --> 01:29:14.479 I wish this movie would stop with the whole, is it reality? 01:29:14.499 --> 01:29:15.199 Is it a dream? 01:29:15.219 --> 01:29:16.359 Is it a dream within a dream? 01:29:16.379 --> 01:29:17.699 Is it a dream within a dream within a dream? 01:29:17.799 --> 01:29:19.259 This movie is an inception. 01:29:19.339 --> 01:29:21.879 It's not smart enough to pull something like that off. 01:29:21.899 --> 01:29:26.799 And also when you're constantly blurring the lines of these two worlds, nothing really matters. 01:29:27.379 --> 01:29:31.219 If Nancy's in a dream and she knows she's in a dream, use that to your advantage. 01:29:31.399 --> 01:29:35.399 Summon a pterodactyl with a head of George Washington Carver. 01:29:35.459 --> 01:29:39.139 Just firing off peanut butter lasers out of its eyes to kill Freddy Krueger. 01:29:39.419 --> 01:29:41.199 Like right near Tyrannosaurus Rex. 01:29:41.739 --> 01:29:44.799 With a AK-47 feet made of chainsaws. 01:29:44.879 --> 01:29:46.119 That's a great idea. 01:29:46.139 --> 01:29:49.499 Vomiting muffins that explode when they hit melty people. 01:29:49.539 --> 01:29:50.839 Just do weird shit. 01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:52.419 That would have been a good movie. 01:29:52.419 --> 01:29:54.319 But it turns out it's not the alarm at all. 01:29:54.399 --> 01:29:56.479 It's Quentin waking her up. 01:29:56.959 --> 01:29:59.019 Oh, hey, hey, it's me, Quentin. 01:29:59.319 --> 01:30:00.759 Uh, you remember Jesse? 01:30:00.859 --> 01:30:01.619 He's dead. 01:30:01.959 --> 01:30:02.979 Oh, wow, that's fair. 01:30:02.999 --> 01:30:04.479 Hey, I just saw Freddy. 01:30:04.499 --> 01:30:06.899 He was in my dream when I was in the tub. 01:30:07.239 --> 01:30:09.059 Oh, that's, did he say anything about me? 01:30:09.079 --> 01:30:10.919 No, we didn't really talk about you. 01:30:10.939 --> 01:30:13.059 We mostly talked about what I smelled like. 01:30:13.139 --> 01:30:16.779 God, I figured he would say something about me. 01:30:17.919 --> 01:30:20.199 Oh, I slipped my mind. 01:30:20.199 --> 01:30:26.159 Jesse, he died in his sleep and he was in jail because he killed Chris with a K. 01:30:26.179 --> 01:30:26.879 Did you know that? 01:30:26.959 --> 01:30:27.679 Oh wait, that's right. 01:30:27.699 --> 01:30:29.059 You saw him the night of the murder. 01:30:29.099 --> 01:30:33.119 You're probably gonna be a witness at the trial or at least sit for some depositions. 01:30:33.179 --> 01:30:34.139 Wonder what that's like. 01:30:34.159 --> 01:30:35.679 I bet it's different than on TV. 01:30:35.739 --> 01:30:36.699 You like Law and Order? 01:30:38.059 --> 01:30:38.839 Are you in the tub? 01:30:38.859 --> 01:30:39.979 I hear water splashing. 01:30:40.119 --> 01:30:41.499 I am on my way over. 01:30:41.699 --> 01:30:42.579 Stay in the tub. 01:30:42.619 --> 01:30:46.539 Maybe run some more warm water though so when I get there, it's not cold. 01:30:46.639 --> 01:30:48.659 Also, I'm almost out of my pet pills. 01:30:48.719 --> 01:30:50.359 I'm gonna try to get some more of those. 01:30:50.459 --> 01:30:54.839 Anyway, so he shows up and they're doing some more research on the Badham Preschool. 01:30:54.939 --> 01:30:58.359 Nah, they're using like MSN search or InfoSeek. 01:30:59.459 --> 01:31:06.659 So while he's looking this up though, he sees this drawing of hers that matches a picture of the school that Quentin finds online. 01:31:06.679 --> 01:31:09.879 I drew this picture of the school as for my dreams. 01:31:10.019 --> 01:31:14.779 See these trees are outside the school and this happy little fella in the sky is his son. 01:31:14.839 --> 01:31:17.419 You can tell he's happy because he drew him with a smiley face. 01:31:17.619 --> 01:31:20.199 Also, I think my mom might be hiding something. 01:31:20.379 --> 01:31:23.599 Oh no, this is really coming to a dramatic head. 01:31:23.899 --> 01:31:27.539 I don't see how this guy in our dreams is connected to the school. 01:31:27.819 --> 01:31:29.219 We gotta figure this out. 01:31:29.319 --> 01:31:40.459 So these two sleuths, they rummage through Nancy's mom's office and they find a hidden folder in a drawer that's full of a treasure trove of information needed to move the plot of our movie along. 01:31:40.479 --> 01:31:43.039 And this includes a preschool photo of a bunch of kids. 01:31:43.199 --> 01:31:49.559 And in the photo are all of these children that are now grown up adults pretending to be teenagers. 01:31:49.719 --> 01:31:51.619 But it's when they were like five and six years old. 01:31:51.639 --> 01:31:54.239 Right, Nancy's mom shows up at this point. 01:31:54.319 --> 01:31:56.499 What the hell are you doing going through my stuff? 01:31:56.579 --> 01:31:57.639 Did you find my nudes? 01:31:57.839 --> 01:31:59.139 Look, I was in college. 01:31:59.159 --> 01:31:59.839 I needed money. 01:31:59.859 --> 01:32:00.879 It was a different time. 01:32:00.899 --> 01:32:01.799 Wait, what is that folder? 01:32:01.919 --> 01:32:03.619 Ah, shit, you found the Freddy Krueger logo. 01:32:03.639 --> 01:32:04.339 God damn it. 01:32:04.559 --> 01:32:05.899 Why did you lie to me? 01:32:05.919 --> 01:32:07.199 I am so upset. 01:32:07.239 --> 01:32:12.779 Why did you make this whole place a house of lies and make me feel like I'm just nothing to you? 01:32:12.859 --> 01:32:14.679 What happened to that pre-school? 01:32:14.719 --> 01:32:15.839 You gotta tell us. 01:32:15.979 --> 01:32:18.659 And she's like, look, I didn't want you to remember this. 01:32:18.819 --> 01:32:22.459 And Nancy's like, remember, what did you want me to forget? 01:32:22.539 --> 01:32:30.819 And then we get the plot of this movie where there's a flashback of Freddy, not the Berm version, but Jackie Earl Haley. 01:32:30.939 --> 01:32:32.499 All right, Nancy, here's what happened. 01:32:32.539 --> 01:32:37.619 Fred Krueger was a gardener at the preschool where all you kids went. 01:32:37.679 --> 01:32:44.619 And he lived in the basement because, you know, most preschools at the time had a gardener on staff who lived in the basement of the preschool. 01:32:44.679 --> 01:32:50.039 Now, Nancy, you were his favorite, but we started to notice some weird things. 01:32:50.359 --> 01:32:57.099 Like when you came home and you had these four deep gashes across your back, that was weird. 01:32:57.239 --> 01:33:04.479 And then this voiceover cuts in and out of shots of Fred Krueger, Fred, running around playing hide and seek with all these kids. 01:33:04.599 --> 01:33:09.099 And he asked Nancy if she can come help him fix his drawings in the basement. 01:33:09.539 --> 01:33:15.039 And we see a shot of Quentin's dad picking up the phone saying, yeah, Quentin's been acting strange lately. 01:33:15.079 --> 01:33:20.459 I'm gonna get him on this new drug, Nofunitol, that his pediatrician recommended. 01:33:20.479 --> 01:33:22.039 That'll make him comatose. 01:33:22.299 --> 01:33:27.979 Nancy says that Freddy would take them to the secret cave. 01:33:28.579 --> 01:33:31.039 When she's a little girl and she starts crying. 01:33:31.199 --> 01:33:31.699 Yeah. 01:33:32.819 --> 01:33:34.879 What are we doing, movies? 01:33:34.899 --> 01:33:35.139 Right. 01:33:35.159 --> 01:33:39.299 And then, so Nancy is like, so what happened to Fred Krueger after all of that? 01:33:39.319 --> 01:33:41.719 Funny story, Nance, okay? 01:33:42.039 --> 01:33:47.559 We never confronted him as an angry mob or murdered him with rage and hate in our hearts. 01:33:47.579 --> 01:33:48.399 Let me just say that. 01:33:49.379 --> 01:33:52.099 He, let me think, what happened to Fred Krueger? 01:33:52.119 --> 01:33:53.499 He did not get burned alive. 01:33:53.519 --> 01:33:54.419 I know that for a fact. 01:33:56.619 --> 01:34:05.119 He got into a car that could fly one day and he just left town to go get ice cream and cigarettes and he never came back. 01:34:05.119 --> 01:34:07.199 Yeah, just disappear, just left. 01:34:07.739 --> 01:34:14.639 Quentin, I don't know if Nancy told you, but one of the things we do in this house that's so much fun, it's called changing the subject of the conversation. 01:34:14.719 --> 01:34:15.739 I'm gonna do that right now. 01:34:15.799 --> 01:34:20.399 These dreams that you're having, they're just repressed memories from a terrible time that you don't need to think about it anymore. 01:34:20.419 --> 01:34:22.059 Yeah, she's like, there's no real danger. 01:34:22.079 --> 01:34:23.579 These are all just repressed memories. 01:34:24.419 --> 01:34:26.599 No, no, you're good, you're fine. 01:34:27.019 --> 01:34:28.079 You're good, you're fine. 01:34:28.099 --> 01:34:29.399 And Quentin totally buys it. 01:34:29.419 --> 01:34:32.579 He's like, wow, that really sounds like a good idea, Nancy's mom. 01:34:32.599 --> 01:34:36.479 And so outside Nancy is like, there's gotta be more than this. 01:34:36.659 --> 01:34:39.139 Clancy Brown shows up to pick Quentin up. 01:34:39.159 --> 01:34:40.139 Quentin, get in the car. 01:34:40.159 --> 01:34:43.779 You're like, oh shit, you got Clancy Brown yelling at you to get in your car? 01:34:43.799 --> 01:34:44.959 Like that's bad. 01:34:45.099 --> 01:34:45.679 Oh yeah. 01:34:45.699 --> 01:34:48.779 You're not gonna get out of that car and be the same person you were when you got in. 01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:51.539 Unless he does a bunch of Mr. 01:34:51.559 --> 01:34:55.759 Krabs impressions and even then you're gonna get out and be delighted, but that's not what's gonna happen. 01:34:55.899 --> 01:34:59.279 He hauls Quentin off to school, I guess. 01:34:59.539 --> 01:35:00.579 Best case scenario. 01:35:00.599 --> 01:35:04.639 Well, because the next scene is it's swim practice with Quentin there. 01:35:04.659 --> 01:35:05.179 What? 01:35:05.559 --> 01:35:06.079 What? 01:35:06.999 --> 01:35:07.359 Right. 01:35:07.379 --> 01:35:08.439 No, he's not. 01:35:08.459 --> 01:35:11.859 There's nothing about this character that says, I'm on the swim team. 01:35:11.879 --> 01:35:13.079 Apparently he is. 01:35:13.099 --> 01:35:14.139 Look, screenplay. 01:35:14.159 --> 01:35:15.959 Why not mention this earlier in the movie? 01:35:15.959 --> 01:35:25.479 Go back to the diner, the one that's clearly now haunted and have him say like, hey guys, I'm carbo loading for the upcoming swim meet or I've got swim practice on Thursday. 01:35:25.599 --> 01:35:26.299 Something. 01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:30.139 You can't just take this guy and make him like a swimmer. 01:35:30.219 --> 01:35:32.639 There's a better chance that he's going to be a rodeo clown. 01:35:32.659 --> 01:35:34.459 I would have found that equally as believable. 01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:42.659 Yeah, it's out of nowhere, but Nancy's looking up the other kids in this picture that she's found from the Vatom Preschool. 01:35:42.659 --> 01:35:43.959 Right, she's on Ask Achieves. 01:35:44.319 --> 01:35:48.899 Right, and Gigablast is telling her that they all died in their sleep. 01:35:49.039 --> 01:35:50.559 Well, one of them died in her sleep. 01:35:50.579 --> 01:35:51.519 That's suspicious. 01:35:51.719 --> 01:35:53.359 And there's this kid named Brett Tanner. 01:35:53.639 --> 01:35:54.959 He died in a car crash. 01:35:55.979 --> 01:35:56.599 Maybe. 01:35:57.159 --> 01:35:57.759 Maybe. 01:35:57.919 --> 01:36:00.399 And then it cuts back to Quentin swimming in his swim meet. 01:36:00.459 --> 01:36:01.059 Yeah, right. 01:36:01.279 --> 01:36:03.819 And this swim coach, I don't know who the actor is who's playing him. 01:36:03.839 --> 01:36:04.819 He's really selling it. 01:36:04.839 --> 01:36:08.479 He's just like screaming out instructions on how to swim faster. 01:36:08.499 --> 01:36:10.979 Like kick your legs, use your arms. 01:36:11.159 --> 01:36:15.079 And as I'm doing this, I'm like, can swimmers hear their coach screaming instructions? 01:36:15.179 --> 01:36:16.339 I don't think so. 01:36:16.359 --> 01:36:17.399 Float faster. 01:36:17.559 --> 01:36:18.419 Breathe. 01:36:19.059 --> 01:36:19.599 Not the water. 01:36:19.859 --> 01:36:20.379 The air. 01:36:20.639 --> 01:36:22.379 Breathe the air, then float faster. 01:36:22.479 --> 01:36:34.139 And then at this moment, Quentin gets yanked down underwater and he disappears, but he emerges from this murky pit of water at this abandoned industrial park that's ideal for a Scooby-Doo villain to set up camp. 01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:43.179 And it's all dark and cold and Quentin gets out and he's standing there wearing his little Speedo man panties and he covers up his nipples with his crossed arms because he's cold and embarrassed. 01:36:43.219 --> 01:36:50.259 And then at this time, a parade of cars comes whipping around the corner of this industrial park, chasing Fred Krueger. 01:36:50.319 --> 01:36:54.299 Now, Jackie Earl Haley is about five feet, five inches tall. 01:36:54.539 --> 01:36:57.079 He maybe weighs a buck 10. 01:36:57.239 --> 01:37:00.239 He looks so teeny running away from these cars. 01:37:00.479 --> 01:37:01.659 It's almost comical. 01:37:01.779 --> 01:37:03.299 So let's get into this. 01:37:03.359 --> 01:37:06.759 Quentin is running after him in his tiny little mankini. 01:37:06.839 --> 01:37:08.979 Krueger, come out you bastard! 01:37:09.039 --> 01:37:12.319 Like, oh my God, that's the last thing you want to hear from Clancy Brown. 01:37:12.339 --> 01:37:16.659 For those who don't know who Clancy Brown is, Clancy Brown was the main prison guard from Shawshank. 01:37:16.819 --> 01:37:18.199 He is a terrifying man. 01:37:18.759 --> 01:37:22.879 If anybody was going to organize some homegrown mob justice, it's Clancy Brown. 01:37:22.979 --> 01:37:25.319 He was the Kurgan from Highlander. 01:37:25.439 --> 01:37:26.979 You know, he's that dude. 01:37:27.239 --> 01:37:32.379 So when the Kurgan is yelling like, come out here Krueger, you're like, fuck no. 01:37:32.399 --> 01:37:34.019 You should just shit your pants immediately. 01:37:34.179 --> 01:37:44.839 So like he's barricading himself inside this building while a bunch of parents are surrounding it, wielding pipes and big sticks and a Clancy Brown. 01:37:44.839 --> 01:37:49.559 From inside Fred Krueger, he screams out, whatever you think I did, I didn't do it. 01:37:49.619 --> 01:37:59.079 And then Quentin's dad, Clancy Brown, he pulls out a can of gasoline from the trunk of his car and like takes a small towel into it, making the biggest Molotov cocktail I've ever seen. 01:37:59.319 --> 01:38:03.739 Nancy's mom is there and she's like, I don't think this is right guys. 01:38:03.819 --> 01:38:07.319 And then some random dad goes, what are we supposed to do Nancy's mom? 01:38:07.339 --> 01:38:13.959 Have him arrested, go to trial, have our kids on the stand, testifying under oath as to what he did, let the justice system work the way it's intended. 01:38:13.979 --> 01:38:15.839 You live in a fantasy land, Nancy's mom. 01:38:15.859 --> 01:38:17.079 Didn't you see the first movie? 01:38:17.099 --> 01:38:19.119 Freddy Krueger is gonna get off on a technicality. 01:38:19.139 --> 01:38:24.359 There are two justice systems, one for child murdering pedophiles who never go to jail and a judicial system for the rest of us. 01:38:24.539 --> 01:38:35.939 So they ignore her and just start chucking Molotov cocktails into this place where Freddy burns as the building just belches fire out the windows. 01:38:36.139 --> 01:38:48.159 And then he runs out the front door of this place while he's burning, staring at Quentin until Quentin like jerks awake, brought back to life from drowning, question mark? 01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:50.539 Yeah, his coach gave him mouth to mouth. 01:38:50.659 --> 01:38:51.459 I guess. 01:38:51.459 --> 01:38:52.419 Wake up, damn you! 01:38:53.579 --> 01:38:54.579 Not on my watch! 01:38:54.599 --> 01:38:55.419 Freeze, damn you! 01:38:55.519 --> 01:38:56.259 Yeah. 01:38:56.419 --> 01:39:10.819 So while that's going down, Nancy is continuing to her research and she finds a guy named Marcus Yon who has this web video log, a vlog if you will, that she finds on Giga Blast about his nightmares. 01:39:10.899 --> 01:39:19.319 And he's like, look, there's this guy named Freddy and there's a preschool and those things relate to one another and he was chasing me into a basement. 01:39:19.339 --> 01:39:22.639 Like that's where he wants me to go in my dream, to find something. 01:39:22.659 --> 01:39:23.059 All right. 01:39:23.199 --> 01:39:24.379 Couple of important things. 01:39:24.399 --> 01:39:24.699 Please. 01:39:25.019 --> 01:39:30.959 Number one, the URL for Marcus Yon's website, write this down listeners. 01:39:31.159 --> 01:39:38.939 It's www.marcusyonblogslashtrueslashpercentageslineslash.htm. 01:39:42.179 --> 01:39:44.599 There's no.com in this URL. 01:39:44.619 --> 01:39:45.759 There's no.net. 01:39:45.779 --> 01:39:47.459 There's no.edu. 01:39:47.599 --> 01:39:55.179 Also, Marcus Yon is played by Aaron Uke, who also played Chewie in the remake of Friday the 13th. 01:39:55.199 --> 01:39:59.879 And I was so happy to see that neither of his hands was holding a bong or an empty bottle of booze. 01:40:01.219 --> 01:40:05.959 They're watching these videos of this jackass and Chewie says, I had a nightmare. 01:40:06.019 --> 01:40:08.499 The burned man in the striped sweater, he chased me. 01:40:08.719 --> 01:40:11.379 I ran, but he ended up in front of a preschool. 01:40:11.579 --> 01:40:13.099 I think he wants me to go to the basement. 01:40:13.119 --> 01:40:16.479 Then there's a second video where Chewie says, I haven't slept in three days. 01:40:16.639 --> 01:40:17.599 If I sleep, I'll die. 01:40:17.799 --> 01:40:18.879 Someone help me, please. 01:40:19.119 --> 01:40:23.139 Then the last video has Chewie going, nom. 01:40:23.359 --> 01:40:28.719 And then he just falls asleep in front of his webcam and something smashes his head into the computer screen. 01:40:28.879 --> 01:40:30.259 So he's dead or something. 01:40:30.319 --> 01:40:33.119 And I was like, who posted that last video on a website? 01:40:33.199 --> 01:40:34.579 These weren't live streams. 01:40:34.759 --> 01:40:36.359 What kind of a monster did that? 01:40:36.639 --> 01:40:38.079 Michael Bay, that's it. 01:40:38.299 --> 01:40:42.779 Quentin then shows up and says, I think I know what happened to Freddie. 01:40:43.019 --> 01:40:50.239 So Quentin and Nancy go to Clancy Brown's office where Quentin says, Dad, I know you killed Freddie Krueger. 01:40:50.259 --> 01:40:58.159 And Clancy Brown immediately gets up from behind his desk, all seven and a half feet of him, shuts the door and is like, this stays in this office. 01:40:58.179 --> 01:41:00.099 And you're like, oh, he's going to kill both of them. 01:41:00.719 --> 01:41:04.599 Instant diarrhea, just nervous shits are pouring down your leg. 01:41:04.619 --> 01:41:07.539 Yeah, and he says, we were protecting you kids. 01:41:07.699 --> 01:41:09.399 After what you kids told us. 01:41:09.479 --> 01:41:11.899 And Quentin is immediately team Freddie Krueger. 01:41:11.939 --> 01:41:14.279 And he screams at his dad, don't do that. 01:41:14.299 --> 01:41:15.519 Your dad's Clancy Brown. 01:41:15.539 --> 01:41:18.599 And he goes, we were five, we would have said anything. 01:41:18.619 --> 01:41:19.919 And I was like, wait, what? 01:41:19.919 --> 01:41:20.299 Right. 01:41:20.359 --> 01:41:21.639 For what, for who? 01:41:21.799 --> 01:41:30.639 Are you suggesting that a group of five-year-olds conspired to tell tall tales of sexual molestation because they wanted to, what exactly? 01:41:31.179 --> 01:41:35.659 This is where the movie goes wildly off the rails, in my opinion. 01:41:35.779 --> 01:41:44.979 The minute that you have the main characters of your movie getting on Team Freddy, who has murdered all of your friends, by the way. 01:41:45.279 --> 01:41:49.259 And sexually molested them when they were children, both boys and girls. 01:41:49.379 --> 01:41:55.179 Well, all right, so the idea is they're saying, well, maybe that's not what happened. 01:41:55.359 --> 01:42:10.199 Maybe we said he molested us, but what really happened was that he did no such thing, and we just accused him of this, and then you guys murdered him because of some make-em-ups on our side. 01:42:10.359 --> 01:42:14.859 But that would have made sense, Bo, because later we find out he is a child molester. 01:42:15.099 --> 01:42:23.559 The story makes sense if the parents have wrongfully murdered this man by burning him alive, and now he is back to exact revenge. 01:42:23.679 --> 01:42:24.799 That makes sense. 01:42:25.019 --> 01:42:31.979 You cannot have a character who is a child molester, and then the parents killed him, and now he's coming back to what? 01:42:32.219 --> 01:42:36.099 Exact revenge on the adult children that he molested? 01:42:36.279 --> 01:42:37.639 So here's how you do this. 01:42:37.659 --> 01:42:39.079 You can do this one of two ways. 01:42:39.479 --> 01:42:40.939 One, you don't make the movie. 01:42:40.959 --> 01:42:41.619 All right, three ways. 01:42:42.139 --> 01:42:43.299 You can do this one of three ways. 01:42:43.379 --> 01:42:44.959 One, you just call the whole thing off. 01:42:44.979 --> 01:42:49.279 Two, you don't have him sniffing and licking Nancy. 01:42:49.479 --> 01:42:51.759 You just have him terrorizing these children. 01:42:52.099 --> 01:43:00.479 Okay, and then it does become what the original was, which is like in the original, he wasn't a child molester, he was a child killer. 01:43:00.499 --> 01:43:05.239 They're very careful to say that, but in this one, you can say, no, no, no. 01:43:05.259 --> 01:43:10.779 The reason he's doing this is because he was wrongfully killed because of these children's false accusations. 01:43:10.919 --> 01:43:12.259 That is one way to play it. 01:43:12.459 --> 01:43:20.239 Okay, but like I said, the only way the story makes sense is if the parents killed an innocent man and now he's back to exact revenge. 01:43:20.459 --> 01:43:30.079 You cannot have a bad guy who is a child molester, who was killed for his crimes, come back to kill the children that he molested? 01:43:30.239 --> 01:43:31.899 Talk about insult to injury. 01:43:31.919 --> 01:43:46.659 All right, so that's the thing is I think you can play it either way, but this movie wants to do it both ways, which is to kind of head fake like, oh, this guy who's been a creepy murderous pervert all the way through the movie is somehow innocent. 01:43:47.139 --> 01:43:51.259 You know, like we're supposed to feel some measure of empathy for him. 01:43:51.379 --> 01:43:56.819 But then, like you said, it turns out, oh, surprise, surprise, he really was a molester, so. 01:43:56.999 --> 01:44:01.319 But you don't feel empathy because he's killing children, like adult children. 01:44:01.339 --> 01:44:08.639 You're purely talking motive for the murder, not at any point that you're trying to make the audience get on Freddy Krueger's side. 01:44:08.879 --> 01:44:09.799 You have fucked up. 01:44:09.999 --> 01:44:12.699 Especially because he's a child molester in this movie. 01:44:12.719 --> 01:44:13.959 Yes, exactly right. 01:44:15.739 --> 01:44:17.019 And so, see, we're on the same page. 01:44:17.459 --> 01:44:20.879 And then you are just complicating this unnecessarily. 01:44:20.939 --> 01:44:21.619 Absolutely. 01:44:21.619 --> 01:44:23.999 And so Quentin ends up storming out. 01:44:24.239 --> 01:44:24.959 I hate you, Ted. 01:44:24.979 --> 01:44:26.099 Freddy Krueger is my real dad. 01:44:26.119 --> 01:44:30.519 Right, because he thinks that Freddy is the greatest guy in the world or something. 01:44:30.759 --> 01:44:34.099 Clancy Brown tells Nancy, like, Freddy never existed. 01:44:34.119 --> 01:44:35.359 You didn't forget about all of this. 01:44:35.459 --> 01:44:38.599 And so Nancy ends up following Quentin out. 01:44:38.899 --> 01:44:43.199 And Quentin is convinced, like the way he puts it is, we got Freddy killed. 01:44:43.359 --> 01:44:50.659 Then we get the first of the micro naps, I think, here, where Nancy hears Chris with a K whisper to her. 01:44:50.739 --> 01:44:55.399 And there's the body bag, like from the original, the body bag with Chris inside it. 01:44:55.659 --> 01:44:59.379 Only it's not really that scary and doesn't amount to anything here. 01:44:59.419 --> 01:45:03.519 Quentin and Nancy go to a pharmacy so Quentin can pick up some more pills. 01:45:03.739 --> 01:45:05.359 He clearly looks like a drug addict. 01:45:05.379 --> 01:45:09.859 And when he goes to this pharmacist and he's like, can you fill up this prescription? 01:45:10.259 --> 01:45:12.039 I don't know if he refills, but I really need your help. 01:45:12.139 --> 01:45:14.159 The pharmacist is like, no. 01:45:14.339 --> 01:45:15.599 He's like, come on, man, fill it up. 01:45:16.379 --> 01:45:17.639 No, just fill it up. 01:45:18.059 --> 01:45:18.959 No, come on. 01:45:19.719 --> 01:45:20.879 No, please. 01:45:21.239 --> 01:45:22.619 No, be a pal. 01:45:23.939 --> 01:45:24.959 Come on, man. 01:45:25.599 --> 01:45:28.559 No, and this goes on for way too long. 01:45:29.139 --> 01:45:40.359 So while that is happening, Nancy is outside seeing Freddie by the window of the car and getting thrown the hell out of it before waking up inside. 01:45:40.619 --> 01:45:44.459 She eventually just goes into the pharmacy where the movie plays. 01:45:44.479 --> 01:45:45.759 Chad, are you ready for this one? 01:45:46.239 --> 01:45:49.199 All I have to do is dream is playing. 01:45:49.219 --> 01:45:55.599 Yeah, by the Everly Brothers, which I'll say that in this moment in the film, it's pretty well placed. 01:45:55.619 --> 01:45:58.099 I'm going to give the movie credit where credit's due here. 01:45:58.199 --> 01:46:15.779 It's a little on the nose, but it has kind of this haunting atmospheric quality to it as she walks through the pharmacy and then immediately we're in the dream world and Freddy Krueger shows up and the aisles of the pharmacy turn into the steam pipes of the boiler room that don't exist in this movie. 01:46:15.799 --> 01:46:16.159 Yeah. 01:46:16.259 --> 01:46:20.119 And it's all done with CGI and it's not very effective in its creepiness. 01:46:20.299 --> 01:46:23.159 And again, I just don't like the color palette of this movie. 01:46:23.179 --> 01:46:28.099 It just looks gross and not in the like disgusting visceral way. 01:46:28.239 --> 01:46:29.859 It's just off putting. 01:46:30.079 --> 01:46:34.819 Nancy's walking along, Freddy Krueger's there sparking up with his knife fingers in the boiler room. 01:46:34.839 --> 01:46:38.819 And then Nancy reaches out and she grabs his sweater and rips a piece off. 01:46:38.859 --> 01:46:43.919 And then Freddy Krueger swipes at Nancy's arm and screams, wake up, you're bleeding. 01:46:43.959 --> 01:46:49.059 And as this happens, Nancy does wake up and Quentin is with her in the aisle of the pharmacy. 01:46:49.259 --> 01:46:50.619 She is covered in blood. 01:46:50.639 --> 01:46:55.099 And also that pharmacist is 100% on the phone talking to 911. 01:46:55.119 --> 01:46:56.079 Absolutely. 01:46:56.459 --> 01:46:56.899 Yeah. 01:46:57.299 --> 01:46:58.619 We got another one, boys. 01:46:58.699 --> 01:47:01.579 Quentin is like, we gotta get you to a hospital. 01:47:02.839 --> 01:47:05.199 And because also he needs some pills. 01:47:05.459 --> 01:47:11.439 And so Nancy's mom shows up while Quentin is pilfering some epinephrine from the hospital. 01:47:11.599 --> 01:47:13.079 She's getting all patched up. 01:47:13.119 --> 01:47:16.999 This nurse comes in and she's like, we're just gonna give you a little something for the pain. 01:47:17.019 --> 01:47:18.339 It's gonna knock you right out. 01:47:18.599 --> 01:47:23.859 And Nancy objects to the point where she sees Freddy Krueger's gloved hand in the air. 01:47:23.899 --> 01:47:26.379 She just kicks the syringe out of the nurse's hand. 01:47:26.439 --> 01:47:34.999 And then Nancy's mom is pulled out into the hallway and the nurse's like, we need you to sign this consent form so we can give something to Nancy to kind of calm her down. 01:47:35.019 --> 01:47:35.879 We don't like getting kicked. 01:47:35.879 --> 01:47:40.679 And so she signs it and the nurse goes back in to juice up Nancy, but Bo, Nancy is gone. 01:47:40.679 --> 01:47:42.059 Did she jump out the window? 01:47:42.119 --> 01:47:42.759 Who cares? 01:47:43.379 --> 01:47:44.939 Or whatever, yeah. 01:47:44.999 --> 01:47:46.599 You ever been at a hospital room? 01:47:46.799 --> 01:47:48.659 There's one way in and one way out. 01:47:48.739 --> 01:47:49.579 It's the door. 01:47:49.599 --> 01:47:50.879 Right, by design. 01:47:50.939 --> 01:47:53.319 So that things like this don't happen. 01:47:53.819 --> 01:47:59.899 But it turns out she's with Quentin in his car and Quentin is like, hey, you want some of this sweet epinephrine I scored? 01:48:01.859 --> 01:48:03.699 I'm just trying to stay awake, I don't need it. 01:48:03.919 --> 01:48:09.699 He just grabs this hypo full of epinephrine, jabs it into his thigh. 01:48:09.719 --> 01:48:13.199 Whoa, that's the good stuff. 01:48:13.339 --> 01:48:15.619 Gets himself goosed and ready to go. 01:48:15.819 --> 01:48:23.519 And so Nancy, instead of taking the shot is like, why don't you just talk to me so I can stay awake or something? 01:48:23.539 --> 01:48:25.079 He's like, how about this? 01:48:25.519 --> 01:48:27.019 Why don't you ever come out when I invite you out? 01:48:27.159 --> 01:48:28.839 I mean, it's a big deal if you don't, I mean, I don't care. 01:48:28.859 --> 01:48:30.679 But sometimes we invite you out and you never come. 01:48:30.699 --> 01:48:31.379 I don't know why that is. 01:48:31.379 --> 01:48:32.559 Oh my God, oh my God, this is crazy. 01:48:32.579 --> 01:48:33.059 Hey, how about this? 01:48:33.079 --> 01:48:34.459 I'm gonna pull the car over and you and I are gonna race. 01:48:34.479 --> 01:48:35.199 We're gonna have a race, okay? 01:48:35.219 --> 01:48:36.499 You run one mile, I'm gonna run 10 miles. 01:48:36.519 --> 01:48:38.299 If I beat you, then you have to go out on a date with me. 01:48:38.319 --> 01:48:39.259 Ha ha, wouldn't that be so much fun? 01:48:39.359 --> 01:48:40.619 Oh my God, oh my God, can you hear my foot? 01:48:40.639 --> 01:48:41.259 Put your hand on my chest. 01:48:41.359 --> 01:48:42.599 Feel that, feel that, feel that, feel that? 01:48:42.619 --> 01:48:44.019 That's my heart, oh my God, oh my God, that's my heart. 01:48:44.039 --> 01:48:45.119 I think I'm gonna die, I think I'm gonna die. 01:48:45.299 --> 01:48:54.179 Oh, this is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy, I'm gonna take off my shoes, and then he swerves the car because Freddy Krueger shows up in the middle of the road. 01:48:54.179 --> 01:49:00.219 Before we get to that, Chad, let me just give you a line that I absolutely hate in this movie. 01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:00.679 Please. 01:49:00.699 --> 01:49:09.819 Which is, after he asks her repeatedly and quickly why she never comes out, she says, I don't know if you know this, but I don't exactly fit in. 01:49:10.099 --> 01:49:11.839 What are you talking about? 01:49:12.039 --> 01:49:15.939 Jesse is showing up at your window after he's committed a murder. 01:49:16.059 --> 01:49:17.579 He's clearly a friend. 01:49:17.659 --> 01:49:20.719 When you went to this funeral, everyone knew who you were. 01:49:20.739 --> 01:49:22.479 This guy is hitting on you. 01:49:22.779 --> 01:49:24.579 Where don't you fit in? 01:49:24.919 --> 01:49:26.479 Everybody doesn't like me. 01:49:26.499 --> 01:49:28.519 How come everybody doesn't like me? 01:49:28.919 --> 01:49:30.299 Just most everybody. 01:49:30.559 --> 01:49:32.139 What are you talking about? 01:49:32.419 --> 01:49:41.759 Why does this character believe that she doesn't fit in when that, like everyone in this movie, knows who she is and seems to like her? 01:49:41.779 --> 01:49:43.479 Because this movie is lazy. 01:49:43.719 --> 01:49:45.459 It's because it's garbage. 01:49:45.479 --> 01:49:46.379 That's why. 01:49:46.619 --> 01:49:47.739 It drives me so crazy. 01:49:47.739 --> 01:49:52.639 That line in particular, even the first time I saw this, I was like, what are you talking about? 01:49:52.659 --> 01:49:57.499 Who was it that has ever shown you anything but kindness and consideration? 01:49:57.619 --> 01:50:01.579 But anyway, so he's like, if we survive, I'll show you, I'll take you on a real day, a real date. 01:50:01.599 --> 01:50:02.019 That'd be fun. 01:50:02.459 --> 01:50:03.139 Yeah, we'll do it. 01:50:03.459 --> 01:50:04.219 Maybe do the movies. 01:50:04.239 --> 01:50:04.539 I don't know. 01:50:04.559 --> 01:50:05.239 Maybe dinner before. 01:50:05.259 --> 01:50:05.619 I don't know. 01:50:05.639 --> 01:50:06.559 Maybe we'll get some ice cream. 01:50:06.579 --> 01:50:06.979 That'd be great. 01:50:07.299 --> 01:50:12.439 And then he crashes the car into a lake after seeing a vision of Freddy Krueger in the middle of the road. 01:50:12.559 --> 01:50:18.599 Luckily, he crashed the car within like walking distance of the preschool, which is right over there, Bo. 01:50:19.319 --> 01:50:26.859 Fortunately, yes, Freddy has driven them off the road about a quarter mile from where they were going in the first place. 01:50:26.919 --> 01:50:28.099 You think that was intentional? 01:50:28.119 --> 01:50:30.499 Because he's supposed to be like making them go there. 01:50:30.539 --> 01:50:31.499 He's like, stay. 01:50:31.519 --> 01:50:32.799 He's like, hey, stop. 01:50:33.079 --> 01:50:34.939 This is where you're headed, over there. 01:50:35.299 --> 01:50:37.719 Yeah, but also, like, why even bother? 01:50:37.739 --> 01:50:39.679 They're going where you want them to. 01:50:39.859 --> 01:50:41.119 Just let it happen. 01:50:41.219 --> 01:50:42.419 He's a micromanager. 01:50:42.759 --> 01:50:44.339 Oh man, that's just the worst. 01:50:44.399 --> 01:50:48.059 They go to this preschool, which has been shut down for what, a decade? 01:50:48.159 --> 01:50:49.439 It was just abandoned? 01:50:49.659 --> 01:50:55.719 These two wander in the walls of this preschool are adorned with children's drawings of monsters. 01:50:55.739 --> 01:50:58.099 I was like, when would children do this? 01:50:58.619 --> 01:51:01.119 I think that's why this place was shut down, just poor management. 01:51:01.119 --> 01:51:06.859 Kids drawing on the walls, shitting in the halls, refusing to eat their orange slices, shut it down. 01:51:07.119 --> 01:51:17.139 As they're wandering through this school, Quint has a micro nap where he sees Freddy murder Nancy, but then he blinks and she's okay and everything's fine. 01:51:17.159 --> 01:51:19.619 This movie's so terrible, Bo. 01:51:19.699 --> 01:51:20.539 It sucks. 01:51:21.079 --> 01:51:28.159 So they find this room in the basement of Freddy as well as the remains of the original knife glove. 01:51:28.299 --> 01:51:29.619 Hey, I found a lantern. 01:51:29.679 --> 01:51:30.559 It still works. 01:51:30.579 --> 01:51:31.739 I'm gonna light this lantern. 01:51:31.819 --> 01:51:35.419 Why did he bring us into this basement for a reason? 01:51:35.439 --> 01:51:36.439 I don't know why though. 01:51:36.499 --> 01:51:42.239 And they find like some pictures that Nancy drew and there's a bulletin board there. 01:51:42.399 --> 01:51:47.939 And Nancy for some reason is like, hey, I think there's a door behind this bulletin board for no reason. 01:51:47.959 --> 01:51:49.219 How about we open it up? 01:51:49.219 --> 01:51:50.099 Hey, look over here. 01:51:50.119 --> 01:51:53.179 There's a room with a mattress and a creepy clown mask. 01:51:53.299 --> 01:51:54.839 I think I've been here before. 01:51:54.979 --> 01:51:57.199 Hey, those are like my drawings on the wall. 01:51:57.279 --> 01:52:02.699 As they're going around, Quentin finds a box with a camera and pictures in it. 01:52:02.879 --> 01:52:03.619 Oh my God, oh my God. 01:52:03.639 --> 01:52:04.439 These are pictures of you. 01:52:04.459 --> 01:52:05.679 Oh my God, you're not wearing any clothes. 01:52:05.699 --> 01:52:06.519 Oh my God, oh my God. 01:52:06.539 --> 01:52:06.959 You're a child. 01:52:06.979 --> 01:52:07.499 You're a little girl. 01:52:07.519 --> 01:52:07.799 Oh my God. 01:52:07.819 --> 01:52:08.219 Who did these? 01:52:09.259 --> 01:52:11.739 Oh, Freddy Krueger took these pictures. 01:52:12.019 --> 01:52:14.719 Right, and she's like, let me see those pictures. 01:52:14.739 --> 01:52:15.959 And he's like, you don't want to see these. 01:52:16.259 --> 01:52:16.959 Trust me. 01:52:16.979 --> 01:52:18.959 You do not want to see these pictures. 01:52:19.079 --> 01:52:23.699 As much as I wanted to see you naked, it was not under these circumstances. 01:52:23.959 --> 01:52:25.039 And she snatches them. 01:52:25.059 --> 01:52:31.719 And Quentin says what we all knew all along watching this movie, which is, I think we were wrong. 01:52:31.719 --> 01:52:33.619 I think Freddie's a bad guy. 01:52:33.639 --> 01:52:36.079 I think he's the villain of our story. 01:52:36.099 --> 01:52:38.659 Yeah, he's like, not my dad, Clancy Brown. 01:52:38.679 --> 01:52:43.339 He's not after us because we lied, but because we told the truth. 01:52:43.559 --> 01:52:44.059 What? 01:52:44.339 --> 01:52:49.539 And then Nancy says, I think he brought us back here so we could remember what he did to us. 01:52:49.579 --> 01:52:50.039 What? 01:52:50.159 --> 01:52:54.499 Then this is where Nancy comes up with the crackpot idea of, here's what we need to do. 01:52:54.779 --> 01:52:58.499 I'm gonna go to sleep and grab Freddie and then you're gonna wake me up. 01:52:58.739 --> 01:53:04.739 He's like, all right, I guess, and gives her his shitty cross and says, you know, you gotta believe in something. 01:53:04.919 --> 01:53:08.979 So is Jesus gonna protect Nancy from Freddy Krueger with the cross? 01:53:09.459 --> 01:53:10.839 I guess. 01:53:11.679 --> 01:53:12.239 All right. 01:53:12.379 --> 01:53:17.439 So Nancy goes to sleep to get Freddie Krueger so she can drag him back into the real world. 01:53:17.539 --> 01:53:19.279 And where does she decide to go to sleep, Bo? 01:53:19.359 --> 01:53:24.839 On the dingy, stank ass, stained mattress in this pedophile's den of disgust. 01:53:25.659 --> 01:53:30.499 And Quentin walks over, he breaks off the blade from a paper cutter for protection. 01:53:30.659 --> 01:53:31.079 Yeah. 01:53:31.079 --> 01:53:31.839 Good God. 01:53:31.959 --> 01:53:41.319 Nancy and Quentin, they immediately fall asleep and they're in this spooky basement dream world with flames and steam tunnels and all kinds of nonsense around them. 01:53:41.339 --> 01:53:48.319 Quentin wanders around until Freddie Krueger shows up and goes full Ike Turner on him, just bouncing Quentin's head off the steam pipes. 01:53:48.479 --> 01:53:51.399 And Freddie Krueger says, ah, you can't save her. 01:53:51.479 --> 01:53:52.019 How about this? 01:53:52.039 --> 01:53:52.599 Let's play a game. 01:53:52.619 --> 01:53:53.659 Tag, you're it. 01:53:53.739 --> 01:53:57.459 And then Freddie Krueger rakes his blades across Quentin's chest. 01:53:57.479 --> 01:54:03.419 So I'm like, Quentin is now openly bleeding in the real world, which looks like how he killed Chris with a K. 01:54:04.059 --> 01:54:05.539 He can't survive that. 01:54:05.679 --> 01:54:07.299 It killed Chris with a K. 01:54:07.419 --> 01:54:09.799 Quentin's less of a man than she was. 01:54:10.379 --> 01:54:13.279 We saw him in his man panties swimming in the water. 01:54:13.299 --> 01:54:18.779 He was this milk toast waif of a man, pretending to be 15 when he's 32. 01:54:19.179 --> 01:54:20.399 Here, Nancy. 01:54:20.579 --> 01:54:21.499 Krueger. 01:54:21.739 --> 01:54:23.259 And Freddie is like, Hey Krueger. 01:54:23.279 --> 01:54:24.959 All right, I'm gonna get back to you. 01:54:25.639 --> 01:54:27.459 I'm gonna go check out what Nancy's doing. 01:54:27.519 --> 01:54:32.599 I think maybe she's the most boring person I've ever met and I kind of want to confirm this. 01:54:32.939 --> 01:54:34.659 He tracks her down. 01:54:34.679 --> 01:54:36.499 Hey, Nancy, you found me. 01:54:36.579 --> 01:54:39.779 Hey, why don't you and I play a game, all right? 01:54:40.059 --> 01:54:41.099 You're not real. 01:54:41.119 --> 01:54:42.739 And he's like, Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 01:54:42.799 --> 01:54:48.359 Look, I will take a lot of business from you, but I will not stand you telling me I'm not real. 01:54:48.379 --> 01:54:50.059 I'm as real as they come, sister. 01:54:50.299 --> 01:54:50.899 Oh yeah? 01:54:51.039 --> 01:54:53.039 Fuck you, Freddie Krueger. 01:54:53.339 --> 01:54:59.899 Suddenly, she's at home and hiding in her closet, a la the original Halloween. 01:54:59.959 --> 01:55:04.679 He finds her, so then she runs, and then the hallway turns into a bunch of sludge. 01:55:04.899 --> 01:55:12.259 It melts into this red liquid, which is a little bit like the mushy stairs from the original where they used all that pancake mix. 01:55:12.339 --> 01:55:19.479 And then Freddie Krueger sees Nancy covered in the blood, and he's like, hey Nancy, how's that for a wet dream? 01:55:20.259 --> 01:55:23.339 And you're just like, gross. 01:55:23.379 --> 01:55:23.859 Right. 01:55:24.499 --> 01:55:33.079 And then the most disgusting part of the movie happens where she sinks into this mug, falls through the ceiling and into her bed. 01:55:33.479 --> 01:55:36.519 Only now she's in little girl clothes. 01:55:36.979 --> 01:55:40.239 It's this adult size version of her childhood dress. 01:55:40.259 --> 01:55:40.679 Right. 01:55:40.899 --> 01:55:43.999 And so Freddie shows up in the doorway. 01:55:44.159 --> 01:55:46.399 Look into molester a second time? 01:55:46.419 --> 01:55:47.919 That is totally the implication. 01:55:47.939 --> 01:55:49.079 But she's an adult. 01:55:49.299 --> 01:55:51.059 But she's in little girl clothes. 01:55:51.079 --> 01:55:52.279 So that's close enough. 01:55:52.299 --> 01:55:53.599 All right. 01:55:53.999 --> 01:55:55.859 He's like, you remember me, Nancy? 01:55:56.979 --> 01:55:58.519 Your memories fuel me. 01:55:58.759 --> 01:56:02.019 Your mouth says no, but your body says yes. 01:56:02.059 --> 01:56:04.419 It's just so gross. 01:56:04.779 --> 01:56:05.899 Vomit in your mouth. 01:56:05.919 --> 01:56:08.979 This is the pinnacle of what this movie gets wrong, Bo. 01:56:08.999 --> 01:56:09.239 Yeah. 01:56:09.439 --> 01:56:14.799 As a Nightmare on Elm Street remake, slasher horror, in my opinion, is over the top. 01:56:14.819 --> 01:56:16.859 It's big and it's loud and it's visceral. 01:56:17.139 --> 01:56:22.219 It deals with insane circumstances that don't exist in the real world. 01:56:22.399 --> 01:56:27.319 Child molestation and sexual assault don't belong in a movie like this. 01:56:27.339 --> 01:56:28.959 This is a slasher movie. 01:56:28.979 --> 01:56:33.699 Topics like rape and especially child rape have no place here. 01:56:33.939 --> 01:56:34.259 Yeah. 01:56:34.499 --> 01:56:39.659 This is a cartoonish movie about boogie man monsters that don't exist in the real world. 01:56:39.779 --> 01:56:41.459 Sexual predators do. 01:56:41.519 --> 01:56:51.899 There is a notable distinction between these nightmares of your dreams and Fred, the guy who was arrested for doing unthinkable acts on little boys and girls. 01:56:51.919 --> 01:56:52.239 Yeah. 01:56:52.259 --> 01:56:56.239 Hell, why not make him a racist or an anti-Semite white nationalist? 01:56:56.519 --> 01:56:59.539 Just pile on all of these horrible human traits. 01:56:59.679 --> 01:57:02.639 It is not what you come to a movie like this for. 01:57:02.659 --> 01:57:06.879 Like, you know, you mentioned the movie Little Children in the introduction. 01:57:06.899 --> 01:57:20.579 It's like that movie deals with the same kind of subject matter, but that's a dramatic film that is dealing very explicitly with some tough material and it's got real actors talking about this stuff and all of that. 01:57:20.619 --> 01:57:24.659 But for a slasher movie like this, no. 01:57:24.879 --> 01:57:26.679 It's too heavy of a spice. 01:57:26.779 --> 01:57:28.039 You just do not do it. 01:57:28.759 --> 01:57:30.319 It's everything that's wrong with the movie. 01:57:30.379 --> 01:57:36.939 And then he's like whispering to her, your memories are what fuels me and now it's time to play. 01:57:37.319 --> 01:57:42.979 He throws her across the room into the wall and then she picks up a pair of scissors and stabs him in the eyeball. 01:57:43.039 --> 01:57:49.519 And then Freddy Krueger pulls the scissors out of his eye socket and he says, you can't hurt me, you're in my world. 01:57:49.539 --> 01:57:52.819 Back in the real world, Nancy is asleep and she's screaming. 01:57:53.019 --> 01:57:57.359 Quentin wakes up, his belly's all gutted, he's covered in blood. 01:57:57.519 --> 01:58:00.399 But he wakes up and shakes Nancy awake. 01:58:00.499 --> 01:58:03.759 Freddy says, you think your boyfriend can wake you up? 01:58:03.999 --> 01:58:05.539 I'm your boyfriend now. 01:58:05.559 --> 01:58:07.399 Well, you know, like from the original movie. 01:58:07.439 --> 01:58:13.899 And then he tells her, I had to keep you up long enough so that when you finally went back to sleep, you'd never wake up. 01:58:13.919 --> 01:58:16.479 That's like coma, your buddy mentioned that earlier. 01:58:16.599 --> 01:58:18.559 So you're gonna sleep forever. 01:58:18.619 --> 01:58:19.679 Like what? 01:58:19.699 --> 01:58:19.899 Yeah. 01:58:20.059 --> 01:58:25.519 Quentin finally jumps up, he grabs the epinephrine pen and just stabs Nancy with it. 01:58:25.699 --> 01:58:29.779 And she wakes up, she grabs Freddy Krueger, pulls him into the real world. 01:58:29.859 --> 01:58:35.479 Quentin then grabs the paper cutter blade that he broke off and just takes a swing at Freddy Krueger and just takes a swing at Freddy Krueger. 01:58:35.599 --> 01:58:39.299 Freddy Krueger then stabs Quentin in the shoulder with his finger knives. 01:58:39.359 --> 01:58:50.939 The three of them kind of tussle for a while in this basement until Nancy takes the detached paper cutting blade and just lops off Freddy Krueger's hand, the one with the finger knives on it. 01:58:50.959 --> 01:58:51.879 That's the important one. 01:58:52.079 --> 01:58:54.199 And Nancy says, it hurts, doesn't it? 01:58:54.619 --> 01:58:56.959 That's because you're in my world, bitch. 01:58:57.739 --> 01:58:58.159 Yeah. 01:58:58.219 --> 01:59:02.599 And then she just slits his throat with this paper cutting blade. 01:59:03.019 --> 01:59:06.379 Freddy Krueger's head tilts back, a bunch of black liquid squirts out. 01:59:06.399 --> 01:59:07.299 I guess it's blood. 01:59:07.319 --> 01:59:09.879 I don't know if Freddy Krueger has blood in the dream world, who cares? 01:59:09.919 --> 01:59:10.779 Down he goes. 01:59:11.019 --> 01:59:13.319 This is kind of the ending of our movie. 01:59:13.339 --> 01:59:15.119 It's quite anticlimactic. 01:59:15.139 --> 01:59:15.499 Yeah. 01:59:15.559 --> 01:59:20.519 And then Nancy tosses a lantern to set the place on fire. 01:59:20.719 --> 01:59:22.499 Burn this motherfucker down. 01:59:22.539 --> 01:59:24.019 Don't remember anymore. 01:59:24.079 --> 01:59:25.379 We don't need no water. 01:59:25.399 --> 01:59:27.179 Let the motherfucker burn. 01:59:27.919 --> 01:59:29.999 And yeah, so the place catches fire. 01:59:30.019 --> 01:59:31.899 She helps Quentin out. 01:59:32.059 --> 01:59:34.519 I like when the fire truck and the ambulances show up. 01:59:34.679 --> 01:59:39.159 This one fireman walks by and shouts out, hey, there's no sign of a body anywhere. 01:59:39.179 --> 01:59:40.579 I'm like, did you check the basement? 01:59:40.659 --> 01:59:41.679 Duh, stupid. 01:59:42.399 --> 01:59:43.119 Right. 01:59:43.219 --> 01:59:48.359 You know, Quentin's getting loaded into an ambulance and Nancy says, oh good, the nightmare's over. 01:59:48.419 --> 01:59:49.139 We won. 01:59:50.459 --> 01:59:59.219 And so we cut to a later scene where back at home, Nancy's mom is sending her to bed with her arm in a sling. 01:59:59.379 --> 02:00:02.199 Mom, I know you're just trying to protect me. 02:00:02.319 --> 02:00:03.079 Thanks, mom. 02:00:03.099 --> 02:00:04.219 You're the best mom ever. 02:00:04.399 --> 02:00:09.439 And then she sees behind her mother in the mirror, Freddie hanging out. 02:00:09.699 --> 02:00:12.939 She's like, oh no, mom, there's something behind you. 02:00:13.259 --> 02:00:22.579 And Freddie leaps out, stabs her mother through the face and drags her into the mirror as Nancy screams and then credits. 02:00:22.659 --> 02:00:25.339 And they give us a little more of the Everly Brothers dream. 02:00:25.359 --> 02:00:25.699 Yeah. 02:00:25.759 --> 02:00:32.679 And this final scene is a bit of a callback to the original where Nancy's mom gets killed by getting yanked through the window of the front door. 02:00:32.939 --> 02:00:33.819 And that's it. 02:00:34.219 --> 02:00:35.399 That's how they wrapped it up. 02:00:35.419 --> 02:00:35.599 Yep. 02:00:35.959 --> 02:00:41.939 That is the end of the movie and it is just rotten. 02:00:42.199 --> 02:00:45.119 It is not good at all. 02:00:45.819 --> 02:00:49.079 Yeah, it's just like, it's not scary. 02:00:49.319 --> 02:00:50.559 It's not entertaining. 02:00:50.839 --> 02:00:51.959 It's not suspenseful. 02:00:52.499 --> 02:00:54.219 All the actors are miscast. 02:00:54.519 --> 02:00:55.779 Or just don't care. 02:00:55.919 --> 02:00:57.779 There's nothing in this movie for anybody. 02:00:57.959 --> 02:01:03.759 Michael Bay had to beg the director to make, like everyone feels like they are being forced to do this. 02:01:04.519 --> 02:01:04.999 Right. 02:01:05.079 --> 02:01:07.959 It's like, you know, some judge passed sentence on it. 02:01:08.579 --> 02:01:09.499 Clack, clack. 02:01:09.759 --> 02:01:13.099 You're all sentenced to make a remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. 02:01:13.379 --> 02:01:14.079 Ah, shit. 02:01:14.099 --> 02:01:16.699 Yeah, everybody got busted with a DUI. 02:01:16.899 --> 02:01:18.239 With a big bag of weed. 02:01:18.259 --> 02:01:20.639 And they're like, that's your punishment. 02:01:20.699 --> 02:01:24.699 Right, and yeah, your punishment is making the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. 02:01:24.699 --> 02:01:32.859 Like do yourself a favor, just go watch the original again, or if you, you know, by all means watch Elm Street 3, it's really fun at least. 02:01:33.119 --> 02:01:34.919 There's nothing for anybody in this movie. 02:01:35.679 --> 02:01:41.679 Luckily, we have episode five Bo, and it's gonna redeem all of this. 02:01:41.679 --> 02:01:43.819 Yeah, yeah, sure it will. 02:01:43.939 --> 02:01:51.339 Because, you know, right on time, Chad, we're doing a movie called Halloween only a couple of short weeks after Halloween. 02:01:51.599 --> 02:01:55.519 Lesser podcasts would have released the Halloween episode before Halloween. 02:01:55.879 --> 02:01:56.839 We're not gonna do that. 02:01:57.099 --> 02:01:59.319 We zig when you think we're gonna zag people. 02:01:59.339 --> 02:02:08.399 We have too much respect for our listeners to time a podcast just because of some arbitrary holiday. 02:02:08.419 --> 02:02:11.279 No, no, no, no. 02:02:11.299 --> 02:02:23.239 We are here to make sure that you get a quality episode, not a quality episode when the holiday dictates it, but when the episode is ready or when we get around to it, whichever. 02:02:23.319 --> 02:02:25.499 Rob Zombie doing a remake. 02:02:25.539 --> 02:02:28.419 At least we're out of Platinum Dunes territory, so that's something. 02:02:28.439 --> 02:02:31.239 Yeah, that's in the rear view mirror for good. 02:02:31.259 --> 02:02:35.639 We are not gonna come back and deal with anything Platinum Dunes related, I hope. 02:02:36.079 --> 02:02:36.419 Right. 02:02:36.439 --> 02:02:36.819 I think. 02:02:36.859 --> 02:02:39.919 Well, yeah, we'll see what happens on episode six for the finale. 02:02:40.299 --> 02:03:01.579 But at least for episode five, we are going to be pivoting from the land of Platinum Dunes and Lazy Remakes to cover a movie that I would argue is at least made with intention, although it's not any better of an idea. 02:03:01.899 --> 02:03:03.419 Rob Zombie's The Monsters. 02:03:03.559 --> 02:03:05.219 No, Rob Zombie's Halloween. 02:03:05.959 --> 02:03:11.939 Although you could kind of say that of a lot of Rob Zombie movies, just like he meant to do it. 02:03:12.379 --> 02:03:14.819 It's just not a very good idea. 02:03:14.839 --> 02:03:20.619 Like, have you ever thought to yourself, boy, I like Halloween and all, but what if there were some hellbillies in it? 02:03:20.799 --> 02:03:26.959 What if it was 30 to 40 minutes longer with an unnecessary backstory and an unfulfilling ending? 02:03:27.139 --> 02:03:27.519 Yes. 02:03:27.539 --> 02:03:28.919 That would be good, right? 02:03:29.019 --> 02:03:29.359 Right. 02:03:29.619 --> 02:03:34.299 What if it was peppered with cameos like a modern day episode of The Love Boat? 02:03:34.359 --> 02:03:39.239 Yeah, and what if everybody in the movie was a complete dirtbag, you know? 02:03:39.259 --> 02:03:43.379 Like even the characters that you're supposed to like, what if they were dirtbags, too? 02:03:43.539 --> 02:03:48.159 What if central casting took place out at the Exxon station on Route 12? 02:03:48.319 --> 02:03:50.799 Anybody who comes in's got a chance to show up in this movie. 02:03:50.899 --> 02:03:55.499 I mean, we'll get into all of this, but it's just, it's a real something. 02:03:55.519 --> 02:03:57.439 I'm already not looking forward to it. 02:03:57.559 --> 02:04:01.859 I find that most of the movies that we do on this podcast, we don't really look forward to. 02:04:01.879 --> 02:04:06.679 You know, every now and again, there's one that I'm like, hey, this is pretty good, but this season's been rough. 02:04:06.699 --> 02:04:08.419 These are bad, bad movies. 02:04:08.479 --> 02:04:10.759 I thought this was a season for you. 02:04:10.999 --> 02:04:12.579 This was your horror season. 02:04:12.599 --> 02:04:14.939 Yeah, but like not the bad stuff. 02:04:14.959 --> 02:04:23.359 Like, it's not like we're doing The Babadook, you know, and like, oh, let's have a heady conversation about postpartum depression or something. 02:04:23.379 --> 02:04:26.399 It's like, here's a bunch of really terrible ideas. 02:04:26.619 --> 02:04:28.479 Another episode has come to a close. 02:04:28.899 --> 02:04:49.019 As always, like, rate, review, tell a friend, share with others the wonderful majesty that is Pick Six Movies for all of the interns and the back of house people, the people who work in sales and marketing, and of course, our newly founded e-commerce division, selling Hornstick and all of our T-shirts and just everything. 02:04:49.039 --> 02:04:51.419 We just, we thank all of them from the bottom of our hearts. 02:04:51.439 --> 02:04:55.079 Bo, any final thoughts that you have on the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street? 02:04:55.479 --> 02:04:59.439 I just hope this movie doesn't end up at the bottom of the list this season. 02:04:59.639 --> 02:05:01.639 This is the best, yay! 02:05:04.699 --> 02:05:06.279 We'll see you in two weeks' time. 02:05:06.759 --> 02:05:09.259 I can't guarantee that it's gonna be too much better than this, Bob. 02:05:11.219 --> 02:05:11.479 Yay!
