This is a headgum podcast. This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary Didn't Watch. Hi, everyone. Welcome to Too Scary Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy and I love watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you don't have to we're missing Henley this week we miss her we love her she'll be back cut her some freaking slack the woman has been nonstop with being with us even though she's got a lot going on she's got a lot going on yes she's doing great but she's taking a little break and

we respect the choice we respect the choice we respect Henley we really respect our friend Henley. Um, other than that, other than Hanley not being here right now, Sammy, did anything scary happened to you this week? Uh, well, you know, I had a sort of scary thing where it's getting a little warmer in Los Angeles. It is. Yep. Yep. And I'm keeping those doors open. Sure. More than usual. And my house is a very, I live in an old apartment building where absolutely none of the doors have airtight seals on the screens. That's honestly inch gaps around. every it's massive it's anything could get through to be completely honest any small animal probably basically yeah you you know what i start there's been worms in here uh they like crawl in on the

earthworms like earthworms this happened twice and the cat i'll notice because the cats will just be sitting staring at a spot at the floor um and it's just right where the right at the door doorstep so they must have ewes wiggled in There isn't even like dirt nearby. They had to go flying. They climbed up the stairs. They have stairs at both doors. What do they think they're going to find in here?

Nothing good. Death by cat. So yeah, I guess just the general increase in bugs in the house is the scary thing. Because actually the flying bugs, you know how much I hate mosquitoes. My number one enemy on this planet Earth. I want them wiped from existence. And so there's been these little flying. insects coming in that I thought were little mini mosquitoes because you know they get so small

these days. There's the really small ones. Yeah. And those are the bad ones. Those are the fucking mean ones. Yes. But whatever it is, I was sitting at my desk working and just every five minutes, a tiny little bug would fly right up in my face. And I could, I smashed it and killed it. And that's how I figured out they weren't mosquitoes because the mosquitoes are pretty good at evading death, at least in my experience, because I hunt them a lot. but these ones I kill and they're like little they're almost gnats

I'm going to take a picture of one and post it I need help identifying this mystery bug someone will know because it's a little bigger than a gnat I can picture it I do know what you're talking about It's not a bathroom fly have you ever had bathroom flies those are so gross with the like round little circle wings and they will not even try to escape death

at all those ones are so easy to kill I guess I'm just getting nervous and scared about the upcoming bug battle in my apartment because I have no protection from them. So any tips and tricks to minimize the bugs in my house. I'm trying to reinforce the doors and the gaps and fill them with little foam things. but you know I'm just going to be a crazy person all summer long so stay tuned because I'm talking about this again we're going to have more more updates for sure yep yep wish me luck oof I do what about you Emily anything scary happened to you this week um well for whatever reason this year for my birthday which which has passed it's no longer my birthday but my

one thing I wanted to do was to watch the sound of music and specifically Specifically to make Joel watch the sound of music because he'd never seen it and had no interest. And I knew the only way I was going to get him to watch it is if I was like, this is what we're doing for my birthday. And so our very lovely dear friends who have a wonderful home theater set up agreed to host us, which they did last night. Sammy, you know you were there. And we find, so we watched the sound of music. I've seen it so many times. It's like my most nostalgic movie.

But I have not sat down and really watched it as an adult, which was a wonderful experience. And a lot of things hit differently as an adult, which is the biggest, my biggest takeaway. And we talked about this last night. The baroness, it totally rules. I would challenge anybody who remembers the baroness as like the bad lady, you know, because she does temporary, you know, she makes Maria go back to the abbey or encourages Maria to go back to the abbey for a little bit.

Sorry if I'm spoiling this out of music for anybody. But she's just like, she's just trying to do what she can to keep her upcoming marriage intact. And then when she knows that she's lost, she handles it with dignity. She is, she's incredible. I was like, this woman is amazing. Why are we not focusing on how cool the bareness is? So that was a big one. That was a big one.

And then another thing is, so I've talked about on the podcast before that I had a past lives reading a couple of couple years ago and she told me that two of my past lives my most I suppose important past lives that have informed my soul were a nun who left the convict convict you got convict on the mind I got convent she left the convict maybe there was a convict vote she left a convent and formed a little like community in the in the woods so that was that was my one past life and then another past life was a puppeteer in World War II and we're watching the sound of music and we've made it to the puppet scene and I was like oh my god I'm Maria know that my past lives were just Maria's journey no wonder you love this movie so much and you loved it as a kid

it's because your soul recognized my soul recognized it as your past lives and Joel did say he was like he loved it spoil alert I fucking knew he would he didn't want to see it and I was like going to love it. It's a great movie. But today he said, he's like, I feel like I understand you better now that I have seen the sound of music, which is a beautiful thing. And anyway, I just feel like anybody who hasn't watched it as an adult, yes, it's long. And yes, there are Nazis, which is, you know, maybe not a fun viewing. But it was wonderful. And I really, it was like, maybe one of my very best birthdays. It was very fun. I guess that's not scary. But it was.

a good time. It was, yeah, it was a great time. I had a wonderful time. I hadn't seen it as an adult either. It was wonderful. It's wonderful. Captain Von Trap is so hot. Oh my God. Christopher Flummer. So hot. And I like knew that. But again, watching it as an adult, I was like, oh my God. What a man. Also, I read somewhere that he like hated being in that movie. And I need to look more into that because that's really upsetting. Maybe that's the scary thing. Well, he didn't do any of the singing. And I was thinking about that a lot that the only person maybe Liesel but also Julie Andrew is the only people who do their own singing

and so I was like imagining them being on set and like speaking like what I was just I couldn't stop thinking about what those scenes were like in filming were they just speaking in the cadence of a song and if so that must have been really awkward or just singing poorly or singing really badly which also

would probably be harder for the person acting against you to be like no this is good I like this that's acting baby I guess we got to know more about what that whole experience was like. But that is not the only movie I watched this week, Sammy. No, it's not. I also watched a very different movie, which is this week's movie.

And it is Final Destination 3. Came out in 2006, directed by James Wong, which every time I always go, oh, James Juan, and then I go, nope, James Wong. Yep, different. Directed the previous ones as well. It's written by Glenn Morgan and James Wong, based on characters by Jeffrey Reddick. It is starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Ooh, baby. Ryan Merriman, Amanda Crewe, Chris Lempch, Alex Johnson, Sam Easton, Texas Battle, Sheldon Simmons, and Yan K. Crystal Lowe. And it is available to rent for $3.99. A steel. An absolute steel. You're not going to regret it. And this week, we have a guest joining us to discuss this movie. she is an actor and comedian host of fellow headgum podcast newcomers and the podcast

freedom with our horror respondent paula f tomkins she's also a member of the comedy group wild horses which i would recommend anybody who isn't familiar checking out we are so happy to have her welcome lauren lapkis oh my god i have so much to say about everything that's been said like i'm just i can't first of all the worms climbing the stairs i'm really stressed like concrete Getting into the house stresses me out. I'm like, that's a lot of effort for a worm and you have to be afraid of them. Anyway, I just had to say that. I've been holding that for like five minutes.

But inside of music, I haven't watched in forever. But it was a good movie. It was a cute movie growing up. But it does, I think I didn't realize that. I thought you were going to say the scary part you realized now was the Nazis, which I think took me a long time to understand when I was. Certainly it read as a lot scarier as an adult and like given where we're at now, just being like, oh, these are.

the biggest losers in the room, but they got power and everybody has to fucking do it. It's like, it's so interesting. Yeah. I think when I was little, I was like, this is the boring part. I don't understand. It's not colorful anymore. Yeah. But yeah. Oh, God. Crazy. My scary thing, if you want to hear my scary. I really do. Okay. So my daughter is almost two and my husband and I took her to a playground. And this playground had like this, it was kind of like old it was very new school in the fact that they have like the rubbery floor you like how now that's like a new thing at playgrounds when we were I mean when I was kid you might be young enough that you did have that I don't know I feel like it was

becoming a thing it was become it was certainly like oh fancy playground it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't everywhere yeah yeah okay we had lots of wood chips okay yeah um but anyways they have that then they also have some things that are definitely old and like very metal based and like this they have there's this slide that like looks like it's a huge sculpture it looks like a big snake with its mouth open with a plastic tube in the middle and that's where you go inside and like go down this tube and the stairs to climb it were metal rods that are like a foot apart each which to me is the whole length of a child yeah yeah so of like a six year old and up could do it themselves but so i like climbed up there holding her but as i was holding her i realized like the shoes

I was wearing were horrible for doing I had like no traction and I was like this is actually I could fall like I could just fall with her it was so horrible but I couldn't go back because I had no like ability either way you're like well no and so then we went in the tube and I'm almost six feet tall and it was I mean it's not it wasn't made for me at all and so I was like I'm a big lady going in here now and then that was really hard and then I was like at the end I got out and triumphantly was like saying something to my husband and then I stood up and bashed my head into the snake sculpture and it hurt so bad and it was also embarrassing so I was like hitting your head in public is the worst I feel like it's awful it's awful it's sometimes it hurts so bad that you're like involuntarily

crying I was like my teeth are like chattering like yeah I was literally like oh my god I'm and then just like stood straight up into a structure so especially what a fall from grace you were so proud of yourself I know I know it was really pathetic um so that's my scary thing that happened to me Parenting is really hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's my big takeaway. And that's why and that's exactly why. And that's the only reason why, actually.

Everything else really easy. I hear especially with a two-year-old, I think it's probably pretty standard stuff. There's nothing to say. Yeah. When I do that at home, if I stand up into like an open cabinet door, I'll immediately burst into tears. It's just an instant thing. No, it's so horrifying when you have no idea something's coming like that.

It's also just very surprising. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And to be surprised by pain is one of the worst ones. Not good. Not good. Really sorry that happened to you. Thank you. That's really tough. Yeah. It's kind of my final destination moment. It could have been. Yeah. Then your head would have burst like a balloon.

Just pop my brains everywhere. Yeah. Sets off a chain of events. A little like plastered tooth of the snake falls into the ground. And then it like triggers a little. Then you trip on that. And your head. falls into a grill and yeah um could have been that could have been funny actually yeah we will get into there's like you know plenty plenty of that to come um but Lauren what is your relationship to scary movies in general um okay so I'm really I would say I'm not much of a scary movie person I tend to be freaked out and I have you know I close my eyes at night after watching a scary movie and I

see like the worst thing from that movie and I feel scared so I kind of limit it to like I loved scream growing up, and so I love all the scream movies. And then that kind of thing is the kind of movie I like. I also prefer a movie where there's a killer and the killer dies at the end. The story is closed. Right. They're not still out there. That happened one time and he's gone. I don't like when it's like a ghost. I don't like when it goes to the worst. I don't like I don't like nuns with blood. I don't like like anything anything like that. like exorcisms. I hate that. I can get very freaked out by that. So I tend to not watch a lot of scary movies. But every

once in a while I get, you know, roped into something. My husband loves them. So we'll watch stuff from time to time. But I usually leave that to him and, you know, try not to. Yeah. Was there one as a kid that like really stuck with you? Like, do you have a moment where you're like, oh, I don't watch these movies and maybe here's why? Honestly, like the things that scared me, I don't even know what happened in the movie. But I remember there was an earnest movie. Do you know Ernest is scared stupid or probably or like or he goes to camp or something i don't remember which one someone someone has brought up Ernest before is there something where you have to kiss the monster on the lips in order to neutralize it that makes a lot of sense and i hate that that's bad that's bad

for many reasons disgusting i have to kiss the scary thing you hate otherwise it's going to keep coming yeah but it was like i think there was something in that that freaked me out and then my brother making fun of me about that and making it scarier. So most of the time it was like the thing might not have been that scary, but then talking about it and like making it scarier was the part that stuck with me. Yeah. But yeah, that's the first movie I think of as being a scary movie, but I'm not even sure which one it was. I just tended to be very, like, I would never have wanted to see like it or something. And I actually saw it in theaters and I was like, this is, I'm going to be killed here. Like it's just something bad is going to happen here. It just was so scary to me. Yeah, I have a very

hard time escaping the tension of the moment like even even in these movies which are insane and very silly like in the build up to the bad thing I'm like like like I just get like so it's like very hard to separate myself from anything scary I don't I don't know how people do it no I will say with this kind of movie though and this is why I picked this is like it's so campy that it's it's almost funny there are times that it's a little much but like it's not really scary you're just kind of especially because it's from like a perfect era to make fun of I was like this isn't going to really freak me out there are points that I rewound it to see something again just to see how absurd it was because some of the like death moments are so insane that you just have to

see it again when we did final destination too there's a person that gets completely panicked by a falling pain of glass that is I think so hilarious he just completely explodes they just like completely it's like a body the body disappears and that's just simply not what would it's like when you did like flower pressing in your book only a body yeah yeah and it became juice and they really i think that these movies would probably be so much fun to write on because all you have to do is come up with especially because they're all always like we're saying like an insane chain reaction that's like it's never it's like this thing runs into this thing which rolls into that which it's like um the mouse trap it's like a rub goldberg that makes no sense

yeah exactly every single time no i said the same thing watching it like this would be so fun to write because you just have to go, okay, so then the most insane death I can think of. And it doesn't have to be realistic at all. Not even a little bit. In fact, maybe you'll remember you'll be able to help me out with this. Because in, in watching it and then even in going back and taking notes, I was like, why does this lead to this? They'd be like, they're showing like a thing leaking. I guess that's important. I don't know why. I just know it leads to the thing that leads to the thing that leads to the death. Sometimes I feel like they have like misdirects and you're just supposed to be stressed about everything that you see. Because any like standard.

object in a house becomes dangerous in a final destination movie so everything's dangerous you're just on edge uh you know a snake slide anything's fair game you know it's it's all it's all possible the worm that crawls onto your doorstep but you could slip on that could be you could slip on the worm yeah yeah could be going for the worm you could trip on your cat yep and your head falls into a grill yeah yeah i also love them being like it's a clue about things i'm like there's no there's never a clue mystery it's not a clue yeah it's what do you mean The, we've, we talked about this when we did, especially Final Destination, too, which I feel like really goes a lot with this. Death is just like, so bored.

Um, death is just having, just like, what else can I don't know? Give them this clue and then make them go in here. And it's just like, just kill them. Yeah. Um, yeah, it's, oh, it's a fun time. We're going to get into it. I'm going to give us a little bit of trivia. Um, which is the budget was 25 million and the box office was 119 million.

So. Nice. Great job. Good for them. Great job. Did pretty well. They did pretty well. It has a 43% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 41 on Metacritic and a 5.8 on IMGB. They like it more. I was going to say IMDB is usually harsher. Usually harsher, but they liked it. A little bit of trivia. So this opens with a roller coaster sequence. And the cast members had to ride that roller coaster 26 times in the same night. to shoot that scene, which would be awful. Wait, that's horrible. Not to mention the scene is about a breaking part, which is like, I don't want to do it so many times.

Seriously. That's what I think about all the time we talk about scary movies and the filming process being like, I would be so worried that you would always be like welcoming the thing to happen. Yeah. Willing it into existence just by just by picturing it. Yeah. I mean, they were okay, but they did have to ride at 26 times. And it isn't quite as intense as the roller coaster in the movie. They, it's like, you know, added in, like, CGIed some extra loops and turns and stuff.

But even still, that's a lot of, that's a lot of times. Do you guys like roller coasters? No. I'm done with them. I used, I loved them as a kid. And now, as a kid, it was fun. And now they're so terrifying. I know they make me sick.

Oh, my God. Go ahead. Oh, yeah. I, like, will every now and again, but I, I'm too in my head about it. They often make me sick and also I'm scared. Yeah. I went on the one at, um, California adventure. Uh-huh. The like big loop one. Yeah. And I don't know if I didn't realize it was going to go in a loop or something. I don't know what, but I was, I went on it and I was so shocked that I was going upside down.

Oh, no. I was so scared. Like it was truly like, I was like, I need to get off of here. Like this is so scary. Yeah. And it was just not fun at all. And then I felt sick the rest of the day, like to my stomach. So it was just, it was horrible. I was like, I think I aged out of this. But yeah. I remember Joel and I went to Disneyland last. summer and we wrote that one and I in my memory I was like oh this is like a fun roller and it's a fun roller coaster and similar we went on and I was like what the fuck like I was like this is not what I thought it's so fast it's so fast it made me feel sick it just like shoots you out and upside down so fast I mean I guess that's what a roller coaster is but yeah I was like this isn't for me I know well I also don't like when they go really slowly up like a wooden rickety thing

up to the top and then you go down like that's so scary I think I just don't I think it's done I think it might be done. I've never really understood like the carnival rides as an adult. I'm like, I'm not going on that. No, carnivals in particular are terrifying. I went on a ride at the zipper, a famous one. I think people die, but people die on that one. I went on that when I was 10 and it was so scary. Just the straight like up down with the cage. You're in like a cage and you're like rolling back and forth. Oh, God. I was in line for that one and I hate this like a screw or something fell out of it. So they stopped the ride and someone a mechanic climbs up and starts screwing something back in and he like gives the thumbs up. He's like, all right, go. And I was next in line and I just got in. I was like, well, I'm about to die. And I just did it. I was like, well, I don't want to humiliate myself. So I guess I'll just die in this. I'll just die instead. A little death trap. That's so scary to see like a piece of it fall down. He's like, I'll put this back. Like that's just not, it shouldn't be happening. Yeah.

I have seen a few scary sites at county fairs there. Those rides are not safe. Well, they're not. They take them down and put them up all over the place. No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. And, you know, this movie, it's not going to encourage you against that feeling. Right.

A few casting what ifs. We had, remember this is 2006, which feels like this is some 2006 casting here. Love it. Ashley Tisdale auditioned for the role of Aaron. Didn't get it. Vanessa Hudgens auditioned for the role of Julie. very 2006 Oh

either of them would have been great it could have been a high school musical horror reunion that would have been

maybe they were like we can't do that yeah yeah yeah Disney got involved and thought no no we don't want them

to be seen this way after reshooting the ending so they had to reshoot the ending because people like you know

premiere not what do you call it the audience test audience was not not happy with the ending so they had to do a reshoot

in the winter of 2005 the production on the film finally wrapped this can't be true anyway it's an iMdb and you know that i never fact-checked that but iMdb says the film wrapped on january 31st 2006 and the film opened on february 10th that's not possible even if they just reshot like one the ending that's insane when that's crazy i don't when did they when did they shoot the film they just reshot the end they just reshot the ending so i guess the whole rest of the film was like ready to go. I guess the ending is just like a scene. I'm trying to remember if it's just in her room. I think it's part of the subway part. Oh, right.

The subway. But still like. And I think I tried to do some research. So I'll say it when we get there. I tried just some research on what the ending was. And I found very little information. So it's, I don't know. It was actually the part with the rat that they reshot.

Because that would be you could do that. You can get that done a little rat. Sammy, you're going to love it. Sorry, there's a rat. I love rats. I should have you scared for this rat No, I think the rat makes it out just fine Okay, great

Yeah, the rat lives Yeah, this is a success story for the rat For sure Okay, and then here's a bit of trivia That I absolutely hate And I'm going to put it on to you guys Because I had to learn it Uh-oh

Chellen Simmons Didn't want to do the tanning booth scene Topless But she agreed after the director convinced her that it was necessary Because it made it more realistic Oh, nice Okay, that's the worst reason

And it was so, because none of it's realistic. It's not the point. It's cooked like bacon inside of a tube. It's not real. Also, it's one thing to be like, well, you have to be topless because it's not realistic if you're not. And another thing to be like, this is, the scene is your tits the whole time. Like, it's just closeups on their tits.

We don't even see their face. Like, but then they could have had a stunt double. Yeah. Or like, you know, a body double if they, if she really didn't want to. But that's so crazy. I don't like that scene. I was like, this is so 2006 too, like, you know, or just the past. to be like,

yeah. And we just zoom in on the tits frying and zoom in on the tits frying and zoom in on the this is insane. It's really. It's crazy.

It's honestly the biggest part of the scene. Yeah. That's unfortunate. Don't love it. And it goes on for so long. So long. That death will get there

but that one out and stuff. It was a closed set but you know I still don't love being like, no, no, no, we have to. It's more realistic. You'll feel fine. No, and it's a closed set. set, but then

millions of people are going to say. It's just like, it's like, it's a close set and we're going to like, it's going to, the camera's going to move past you, you know? It's like, no, no, no. It's a close set and then the world forever will just stare at your tits for five straight minutes. That sucks. I hate that. So, well,

hope they're doing okay. Maybe the residuals are good. Yeah. To balance it out a little bit. And then last little bit of trivia is that Ryan Merriman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead also started together in the ring two the year before. So a little horror little horror friends that's crazy and now laura i had wanted to ask you how how familiar are you

did you ever growing up uh watch any of the disney channel original movies i yeah so do you recall ryan merriman from you know smart house yes i couldn't place him but mike told me that's who that was and i was like oh yeah smart house and um the luck of the irish oh too big two big two big ones. I don't remember the luck of the Irish. Well, it's great. You should check it out.

He becomes a lepricon. I'll watch it tonight. He's a basketball, thank you. He's a basketball player who turns into a lepracon. No. His family is Irish. And he finds out.

And then the lebracons can't. And then it's a really, he's like from a family of lepracons. And he has to like learn how to. Oh, that's what it is his whole. And he didn't realize that his whole family are actually lepricons. Spoilerler. But they're a normal size.

And then he starts shrinking. I don't. It's really an interesting. time. It feels like they just took Teen Wolf and they're like just let's make it leprecha. It's worth the watch. It's worth the watch for sure. It's worth it. It's worth it. It really is. And he, so that's like my brains association with Ryan Merriman and, uh, and then he was great enough. Does he have spiky hair in this? He has yes, but also flat. It's, it spikes down like bangs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's that it's so 2006. It really was some of the hair. Oh man. The hair. The hair. How about

that guy with the big poofy black hair. It was like sort of Ryan Cabrera as. Very much. Which was a total moment. Yeah. It was so huge. And Mary Elizabeth Winstead's hair, the like the swoop bangs. So once I had that exact haircut. I think I had it for 20 years. Yeah, I had it for a

really long time. And the low-rise flares. Oh my God, the style. Oh, and the first scene, like the style is just crazy. The fashion is out of control with the thong sticking out and the blue and the pink. Which is coming back? Having seen it? Thong sticking out or coming back. I have seen some thongs sticking out again. Oh, no. Why is that so sick? That was crazy. I feel like, well, we were like kids and that's when that was happening. I mean, I was old enough to do it, I guess, but I didn't do it. But it was, it's so it's like all, it's usually just teenagers doing that, which is even grosser. Yeah, it's awful. As a adult now, you're like, that's really disgusting that your full. ass crack is out and I can see your whale tail. It's shocking. It's shocking. It's absolutely shocking. It's absolutely appalling. It's meant to be under. It's underwear. Excuse me. It's called

that ladies. A lot of that going on in this in this movie. And I guess to give us a little bit of a visual, we should watch this trailer. Oh, I can't wait. Oh, great. The ones who got off that roller coaster are still going to die. Unless we can figure out how to stop it. I never thought I could see my own death before it happened. It's actually a really good trailer. It's a very good trailer. It gives you everything you want and nothing else.

Yeah, and it doesn't give it away. It really doesn't. Weirdly. Yeah. I thought it was going to be like the whole thing. Sometimes I feel like old trailers used to just show you the entire movie. Yeah. No, it really is a good, it's a good trailer.

I was quite pleased. It's smart to show us little peaks of those last two movies. It's like I'm getting excited again. Remembering those and being like, oh, right. This is what I'm in for. Remember how crazy that much? Do you remember that? Yeah, and I'm not sure if I saw those. I think that maybe I did, like, at the time, but I don't really remember.

But, yeah, they don't really ring a bell on that trailer for me. The plane crash, sometimes things that are too real like that is just too much. I think that's the scariest opening of the movies I've seen. The logs on the back of the truck has haunted me for, like, I won't. I mean, I always think that's going to happen. I don't know if that's from this or, yeah. Yeah, I feel like a lot of people have that instinct now. me from the um from two is the thing under the break oh a water bottle or something that gets stuck i gotta say sammy you when you were driving the other day you had one of your sandals off and it was down there by your brake and it took everything in me to not be like sammy get your fucking shoe out of here yeah that's not safe okay don't do that don't do that next time sammy i know you do it a lot i've seen you do it before um i'll move it back just put it to the passenger side okay just put it to the passenger side so you like to take your other shoe off when you're driving

I sometimes take them both off. It's illegal. Don't report me. It's illegal? It is illegal to drive barefoot. Isn't that weird? Yeah. Well, I guess it kind of makes sense because it's kind of harder to get good pressure on the breaking gas.

You know, how I found out it was illegal. Do you guys remember that show? And now I can't remember what it's called, but it was two guys that would compete. It's on Comedy Central or MTV or something. And they would have a theme each episode. And there was one episode where the thing they were competing for is who can break the most laws. And the one of them that was. And get away one of them was like, I'm going to drive without my shoes on.

And it feels like a really easy one to get away. He was killing it though. No one can see. Because he was like, I'm not impressed my dude. I know, but he was. Wait, and why do you like to do it? I need to hear more about this. It just feels comfortable.

And now it's like habit. I'm not even, I don't actually even think about it. I just take my shoes off when I, I don't know. Yeah, I guess it just feels comfortable. Also, these shoes are like. It's kind of funny. I find it interesting. I do it when it's hot.

sometimes I've got to just get my shoes right off my feet. Yep. But other than that. Yeah. Okay. But you're right. I mean, the dangers maybe outweigh the benefits. I mean, I'm fine with the barefootedness.

The law disagrees. But I just move, just put the, take them off and put them in a passenger footbed, you know? Break. Even if you have a passenger. I'll, I will sit with your shoes. Could you hold my shoe, please? I won't hold them, but I'll put them in your feet. Oh, I'm about to drive.

Can you please hold my shoes? some of the shoes. Anyway, yes. A lot of these things, it's really interesting how I had never seen this movie, but I knew of the deaths from this movie, some of them.

There were things that just existed in pop culture because of these movies that it was impossible to not know about. Yeah, I think the part that was really funny which showed how much I didn't know the movies was that in the first scene, like, what's the character's name,

the girl, the main girl? Wendy. she like she's like getting nervous and then the the whole accident happens on the roller coaster and I was like oh my god they killed everyone in the first five seconds and then it was like oh and then Mike was like you didn't know that wasn't it's kind of the whole thing I was like what a huge twist I'm watching this for the first time so Lauren you this is your first viewing of any final destination movie and you jumped in at three but I also I just have a really bad memory for movies and stuff so it's possible I've seen them but I just didn't know, and I definitely didn't know that was, like, how they work, where it was like, it's in her mind, and then it's not really, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I think, yeah, and then, no, let's talk about it. Let's get into it. Okay, great. Can't wait to hear about it. I'm ready.

Monopoly is a registered trademark of Hasbro. Copyright McDonald's. We got our opening title sequence, which is a very spooky carnival. We're getting like tarot cards and ominous music and a carousel going around and like...

It was fully, are you afraid of the dark? Yes. I was like, this is... And it was 10 minutes long. I did watch the whole thing, because I was like, I think I need to know what's going to happen here. But I was like, this isn't allowed now. Like, we don't let this happen. Like, we were watching Sound of Music last night.

We were remembering like, oh, man, opening title sequence used to be really long. And I said, actually, they did this in Final Destination 3. They take just as long to tell you everybody. But we don't have that patience now. We don't want to, we don't, we don't. The names can be, like, tiny in the corner while, like, a scene is happening. Yeah. Show me something else.

Like, yeah. I like the thing they do in trailers now as if a trailer is. still too long for our attention span. In new trailers, they'll play a mini trailer in front of the trailer to be like, here's a preview of the trailer. Have you guys noticed that on YouTube videos? It'll be here's like a five second trailer for the trailer. It's so stupid.

Yes, they do that on like, um, I don't know, like bigger movies and it's crazy. I think they did it on Scream 6. That's insane. Our attention spans are so, so low. I can attest. Mine is bad. It's short. Completely shot. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, so, you know, we're in the, we're in this. fucking title sequence for 10 minutes. And then we are at a carnival. We are at the carnival theme park type thing. We learned that it is grad night. And we have our four friends, seniors getting ready to graduate.

We've got Carrie and Kevin. Kevin is Ryan Merriman. They're a couple. And then we have Wendy and Jason. And they're a couple. And we see that Carrie, Jason, and Kevin were on that ride that goes just up and down and up and down to your little feet dangle up the front, you know? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. They're doing that and they get off and they loved it and, and Wendy wasn't on it. She's, we're getting the sense. She doesn't love a roller coaster, but she takes a picture of them. I have a question. Yeah. Is Wendy in the previous movies or no? No.

Okay, good. This is, I found it really interesting how scared she was. Immediately. Immediately where I was like, like, maybe she knew something. And then I just thought, oh, maybe she's in the old movies and then that's why she's always afraid of everything. No, she's just really afraid. And I was like, this isn't scary to me as a viewer to watch someone be really afraid of a carnival.

Like, it's, there's nothing happening. She's immediately way too freaked out for the circumstances. And we see, so she's taking pictures on her little, got like a little canon digital camera, very nostalgic for me. Mary Elizabeth Winstead. This is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Character named Wendy. And so she takes a picture from the ride and we see she looks back at her picture. And the ride is called the high dive.

And she looks at her picture. And in her picture, the V isn't lit up. And so it just says high die. and she's like, gets freaked out about that. And I gotta say, like, I was glad I was watching it with Mike because I was like, why do I care?

He goes, now it says high die. I go, oh, oh. I was like, what? So the V's out? Like, I did not get that. Yeah. And I'm not dumb, okay? No, it feels very like,

it immediately, it's just like, you get these movies, right? Like, I, like, coming in blind. Yeah, yeah. I was like, so the V went out was, is it the fifth? And he's like, that's the part that doesn't matter. It's high die.

It's not about a V's. It's not a movie about B, because the letter B doesn't matter. But she is a little freaked out, but then they quickly, you know, like, oh, let's go. We got to go. They have tickets for the devil's flight roller coaster at 915,

a little timed entry, and they're all excited. And they decide, we're going to get some food first. They're going to get some fried snickers. And they're talking this whole time. I fucking love these movies. The way that their characters are just like,

oh, I can't eat. If I eat snickers before I go on the roller coaster, I'll die And then one of them goes A fried stickers won't kill you They're just like saying kill Die 10,000 times Because also you wouldn't say you would die

You would say I'll barf Yeah no I'm gonna say I'm gonna die if ate this And I'm not gonna kill you Yeah so they go and they sit down to get some food Wendy we learn is taking these pictures for the yearbook And then the other girl says that she's gonna dump her boyfriend And then he comes back to the table all happy. And I was like, that was really mean.

Like she just like told the other girl like, I'm going to dump him really soon. I can't deal with this. And then he comes back. He's like, I got the Cheetos or whatever they're having. That's so that's in he. This is also, this is extremely 2006. I just feel like we need to remember what that was like in media and in the world. And he, she's taking pictures of the yearbook.

So she's taking pictures of everyone. And Kevin was Ryan Merriman. He takes her camera from her and takes an upskirt photo of a girl walking by. That was insane. And they all are just like, oh, come on, guys. They just like, girl walks by in a short skirt. He sticks his arm out so fast, takes a picture, and then he's like, and mind you, this is like one of our protagonists.

And yeah, we're supposed to care about him. And so that's why he goes to then get the food for them. And that's when Wendy says to her friend, Carrie, she's like, I don't know how you put up with him. I'm such a control freak that I just could never date a guy like that, has nothing. nothing to do with that. Oh, a sexual predator? She's like, it's okay.

I'm going to break up with him after we graduate. And then, yeah, then he comes back. Oh, it was after the skirt thing that she said that? It was after the skirt thing. Okay. It's a little better. It's a little better, but it still is like, I don't know. I think that's maybe an unforgivable thing he just did.

We need to address it. I think he should break up with him now and tell him that he sucks. Break up with him on the spot. Yeah, that shows how much we did not care about that at the time. We're like, so he's just annoying. I got to break up with him. He's always taking pictures of people's vaginas. Yeah.

yeah it's not not great um let me sort of get introduced to like who all the other little high school characters are via the photos that wendy's taking of them she's like responsible for these grad night photos for the yearbook so we get um ashley and ashlin who are the hot girls who you can see their their whale tails um she takes a picture of them do we have a guy named frankie cheeks incredible character name which one is that he's the bald guy with the camcorder. Oh, yeah, yeah. And Frankie Cheeks, we learned.

He graduated a couple years ago. He's like, he's the archetype of like the older guy who's like still hanging around and, um, is terribly objectifying to these women. Then we have our football jock, um, who's doing that like hammer on the thing that makes the bell, you know, strong. He's strong. Strong guy. Um, this goth couple guy of guys.

with the biggest, tallest, puffiest jet black hair you've ever seen. And these are different groups of people. They're not like all there together. We're just getting glimpses. They're going to be on the roller coaster together, presumably. But they're not buddies. They'll end up on the roller coaster.

They're not all buddies, but they'll know each other. It's like this is our high school class, basically. And then as they're heading over to the roller coaster, Wendy sees her sister, who isn't supposed to be there. She's not a senior. And the vibe, this is Amanda Crew. and her vibe is insane.

This is like honestly iconic. I know her from Silicon Valley so then to see her in this. Oh my gosh. It's so funny. She has on like a paper boy hat that's like cocked down over one eye. And her hair is like stick straight as it was at the time. You know, in the fashion. And it was she's like so bitchy to her sister.

It was just an amazing little moment. I was like, this is so cool to have this as something you've done. career because it's just it's just captures a moment in time it's so and and like probably huge for her at the time yeah oh for sure yeah like incredible yeah she beat out vanessa hutchins right right um but yeah so she she's wendy's like what are you doing here you're not you're not a senior and she goes oh hi miss cutest couple ra ra which is like to make fun of her it was so weird and bizarre um but wendy takes a picture of her to be like proof for mom and dad that you were at grad and you're not supposed to be.

Then they get to the roller coaster. And Wendy does not want to go on this roller coaster. She's been terrified the whole night. Oh my God. And there's a moment where it's like she has to go through the turnstile. And it's like, once you go in, you cannot leave ever or whatever. And so she like clicks in. And she's like, ah, she's like so scary.

And this woman is having a breakdown. She's so scared. It's truly, it's actually kind of annoying as the viewer because you're like, I think that we should get to the point where she gets scared. right yeah like right you don't want to start there she's so instantly terrified of everything it was like you you have a problem this is not something that's happening yeah and she does say we have a little moment between her and jason jason's her boyfriend where he's like you know i think like fear of roller coasters is about fear of losing control and you're such a control freak that we she says she's a control freak 50 times in this movie and again i don't think it's an important no we never get that sense at all no

she's that's not it's not true it's not true but she has believes this narrative about herself and so everybody else and so he's like it's just your fear of losing control like it's going to be fine and she's like yeah it's okay i i can do it but she's very freaked out he's her boyfriend he knows this but then it's time to get on the roller coaster and she's like oh i can't ride in the front i'm way too scared to ride in the front and he really wants to ride in the front and so he and kevin flip a coin of like who's going to have to go to the other car with his girlfriend and Kevin loses so kevin has to go ride in the back with her and her boyfriend's like, see at the end, like, you're going to be fine.

I'm like, if you're so concerned, fucking go in the back with her. Yeah. High school, man. I don't know. No, he didn't care. He didn't care. So, Carrie, the friend and Jason, her boyfriend, are at the front in a different car and Wendy and Kevin go to get in it.

It's like, I think it's one of those roller coasters. They're parallel tracks. Yeah, parallel tracks. So they're like basically in a fully different track than the other ones. they're in row six not six six six six just six but wendy looks at it and it like zoos and she's so scared oh my god um yeah it feels it all feels like she's scared way too soon yeah is there does there end up being just because i know in final destination too similarly she's very freaked out but it's because she's seeing things that are from the previous movie are any of these tying back to the previous

movies at all because there's no in the second one she's seeing a bus from the high school that happened to in the first movie and she's like oh that's a bad sign so they're just choosing arbitrary objects for her to be scared by 100% it's that the V disappeared and that it's the number six and it's the thing that says like no going back which is like part of the roller coaster yeah which everyone is reading I mean she has like no reason to be afraid there there's not like a history for her of something bad. Is there right? Like, no.

So she's just being really weird. She's just being really weird. I don't know why they wouldn't use the device from the Final Destination 2 where she knows about the previous one and is getting... No, and in fact, she definitely doesn't know about it. We'll get to that, but she 100%

doesn't know about it. She is Lauren in this situation. She doesn't know that this has ever happened before. But she's really freaked out. She gets into the seat with Kevin. And Kevin's like being nice to her and it's like it's going to be fine come on where you know you could do it um and they get in their car they're about to take off they put their little you know lock themselves in and

Kevin there's gum on his thing and he's like ew he gets his hand stuck in gum but then it's it's time to go let's send that send that roller coaster off and we see this is where I was like Lauren maybe you understand this more than me we see like a pipe leaking somewhere on the roller coaster that I was like that's clearly important but I have would have no way of telling you what that does or why it matters, but they zoom in a lot. So you're like, okay, I think you're trying to like explain why it's getting fucked up. But it's like everything just starts breaking. Everything just starts breaking.

There's no way this link made it all happen. Yes. Like people's harnesses are coming open and then like people are falling next to them. And then it's just, I mean, chaos. Absolute wheels start flying off of the roller coasters. are going a bunch of bodies are flying out then like someone gets fully chopped in half right isn't there somebody that later i mean it's all it all feels like it sort of happens at once i got to say i i feel like there was so much opportunity with the roller coaster situation to like really

make some interesting deaths happen and instead it's just like it just dumps everybody out onto the ground basically. One person does, the jock guy gets like flown out and he's holding on while he's like, Ryan Merriman like grabs his hand and he's flying and he gets like flown into the side of the thing

and drops and dies and then because Ryan Merriman's out of his seat there's a bar that's just jutting out that does chop him in half and so then he hamburger style and so he's half his body sitting next to Wendy who's screaming and freaking out

they end up going upside down and for whatever reason it like stops upside down and so now they're all hanging and holding on and like one by one people are like they can't hold on anymore and they let go and they drop and die and then then Wendy

gets flown out and we see her falling to her death and right as she hits the ground she comes to back in her seat the ride has the premonition she's the one that's had the premonition she's I was like praying this whole time.

Have it not be her because she's too nervous and anxious. No, he's going to fucking believe her. Exactly. They thought she was insane. They wanted to take her to an institution. Everyone immediately, like she gets off. She's like, nobody get others. I got to go to this.

She's back in the roller coaster seat and it's typical in final destination. The same thing. She sees him find the gum again. And that hurts her being like, oh my God, we got to get off. I've seen this before. And yeah, I mean, it's like, I got to get off. In real life did not like real life once they cut back to reality he doesn't care that there's gum he's like what he's like touching this gum he's like what

it's like you still would think it was gross like it's that's okay yeah um also I was like this was the part what so when she died I was like oh so it's gonna be like a whole different cast and they kill those people immediately and then it's like we meet the real what a surprise yeah yeah and then I was like oh it's in her eye yeah she she saw it all do you guys remember when Fabio got in the face by a goose yes No, my God. Yes. Yeah.

So bad, you know, it's possible. This is a realistic film. What if they'd had a goose flat? When in time did that happen? How'd that already happen when this movie came out? Because if they chose to not use a goose and then it already happened in the world, that would be really upsetting. Mist opportunity. Think about how scary that was for Fabio.

I feel like we all were too busy, like making fun of it. It would be awful. He got really hurt. He got really hurt. Yeah, his nose was like bloody. The goose died. well no one talks about that enough yeah yeah that was okay let's talk about the goose um yeah that would be that would be really bad um but she freaks out and they they stop the ride they pull her off

kevin gets off with her and then basically one by one all the people on their car uh get oh what happens is god fucking 2006 lewis the football player so wendy's freaking out Kevin gets off with her they're like talking to security and she's like I saw the ride's gonna crash everyone's gonna die and they're like and Lewis gets off the ride and says hey to Kevin can you control that bitch oh boy yeah that kind of language comes out quite a lot quite a lot and Kevin comes up to me goes you know man you're you're you're a real piece of shit Lewis fuck you and then they get into a fist fight and so they get escorted off and basically the chaos just they're like hey everybody on this car you You got to get off the ride. And so that's Ashlyn and Ashley, Frankie Cheeks, Kevin, Wendy, Lewis, and the guy with the big black hair and his girlfriend. They all get off the ride. And Jason, her boyfriend, is seeing this on the other car and is like, hey, that's my girlfriend. Let me off.

I want to go help her. Let me off. And they're like, nobody else is getting off the ride. Like, let's go, start the ride. Which also feels like a crazy thing. You can't keep him there. I mean I guess they can he wants to get off but he didn't I guess you know the sign said there was no going back once he got on so they did tell and everybody could read that it wasn't just for her yeah yeah so they escort her off and she sees that they start setting the roller coaster off with jason on it and she starts freaking out again because she knows her boyfriend's about to die and they yeah they escorted her out and they're like we need to call what is your home phone number they're like you crazy you crazy ladies uh really really being awful dark her and as just get the fuck out of it like they did not care at all that she was upset like they were

just like just shut up just like they just didn't like how she was freaking out and um i also was thinking that her part in this movie is really hard because she has to like scream and cry a lot for the entire thing she basically is only like really upset or bawling or just like begging someone she's great she's great in this yeah so then do the does everyone then take her seriously i guess i forgot about that element is that when you see it happen for real then it's like oh she was right okay all right no they don't um they they're they scored her out and the security guard is is asking you know like what's your home phone number and then they all hear a loud crash and they see people flying out of the roller coaster and she is sobbing and freaking out because jason has died

cut to she's at high school she's cleaning out jason's locker there's like one of those things up on a bulletin board with everybody's pictures and candles and um a lot of people died on that roller coaster a lot and um mike said that i guess they got to that in memoriam part much quicker than the past movies like they're coming i would say this movie runs mourned so quick yeah yes it's just immediately like yeah they all died which by the way that's like hugely traumatic like it was a roller coaster exploded

and all of your friends died and then they're like keep going 20 people plummeted to their deaths right behind you awful

nobody is dealing with this trauma appropriately they all so yeah she's like walking through school you know sad and alone

and being rained on and everyone is sort of looking at her like she's kind of a freak as she walks by I mean they feels sad for her but they don't

think of her as like a hero who saved their lives. They're just sort of like, sad for her. My boyfriend died. Pretty weird night. And the rest of them

who got off the roller coaster all sitting together or like under an overhang signing each other's yearbooks. This is where we learned that the goth guy, the high school is McKinley High School and his last name is McKinley.

He's like, how lame is it that my last name is the name of my high school? And Ashlyn and Ashley are there and they see Wendy walking by looking all sad. And they're like, we should be. We should, like, do a...

The portrayal of these women is... How old were they, the actors? Because now you're saying this about this... What a good question? I mean, they would have had a person over 18. I'm not wanting to do that scene. I'm like, she wasn't a child, but like... But she would be really young.

Yeah. They seem a little older. Like, they have the energy of, like, 20s, but... Yeah. But yeah, young. Yeah. But they come over to her and they're like, hey, we're going tanning for graduation after this. Like, do you want to come with us?

Here's our phone number. And as they walk away, they're like, God, that was so nice of us. We're, like, so nice to have invited her. And this is at the point where I'm like, oh, God, the tanning bed. Oh, no. I had heard of this one. But then Kevin comes up to her and he's the only one who's like, oh, my God, you've, like, saved our lives.

I know. And so he tells her this has happened before. And they're walking in the rain and they're both acting like that doesn't matter at all. Soaked. Absolutely drenched. You can go under something or acknowledge that it's wet. that is very wet where you are and she says something to him like

we don't even like each other we wouldn't be friends if it weren't for I was dating Jason you were dating Carrie like we don't have to act like we're friends he's like I did some research to try to figure out you know what happened to us and this has happened before on flight 180

a group of kids were going and so you know Lauren for you a group of kids are going to flight to Paris I was happy for the info and one of them had a premonition and he got off but then in the you know all the people got off the plane started dying in freak accidents and she's like doesn't want to hear it isn't

buying it she's like shut the fuck yeah we're not friends leave me alone shut up get away like in the car she's like that's so fucked up of you to say because he's like we're gonna die yeah um yeah he's really trying to work this out with her and she's not having it um she gets home and then if she has interaction with her sister julie who again julie fucking hates her um she comes in her room again Again, the most traumatic thing that could ever happen to anyone has happened. And she's, Wendy's sitting at her computer and next to her on her desk is this charm bracelet. And Julie storms in and it's like, oh, grandma left this charm bracelet to me in her will. Like, I can't believe you have it.

This is my charm bracelet and like storms out. And Wendy turns around crying. And she's like, hey, I'm having a really hard time. Oh. Yeah. And it's like, I need someone to talk to. I feel like I caused my boyfriend's death I didn't do enough to stop it

And this again she says I'm usually such a control freak But I just didn't do enough To control the situation And this is where she says she's like I can't talk to mom and dad Like I think he says like I don't have mom and dad to talk to you

You're all I have Yeah they don't exist in the movie Parents They never show them They never So I don't know There's never a picture of them No it seems like maybe these two high schoolers

are living alone taking care of themselves so because she's having a hard time Julie says like you can have the bracelet I'll leave this here with you I'll come at it like when I come visit you after you move away after high school and she's like thanks

and she asks she says can I borrow the camera I'm going to take pictures for graduation because Wendy has already said she's not going and Wendy says yeah you can have it but I need to charge it so go get ready I'm going to plug it in and charge it, which was, again, very nostalgic for me.

The, like, getting out the little USB and plugging your camera into your computer to get the pictures up. And so she looks through the photos for the first time, which must be deeply traumatic. But she pulls up the pictures. She starts looking through them. But meanwhile, we see that Ashlyn and Ashley have gotten to the tanning salon. Oh, boy. And the guy who owns it or runs it is, like, out back on his cell phone talking to his girlfriend. And he holds the door open, like, props that are open with, like, some.

tanning lotion or whatever. Yeah. Like a just, which honestly, that's not heavy enough. Like it was just kind of like, yeah. It was just like, it's like holding the gap open, but it's a tube of lotion. It's not going to, yeah.

Plastic tube. Yeah. And he tells them like, oh, you guys can go like, you know how to do it. Go do it for yourselves. So they decide to go into the tanning. Also really crazy. I mean, absolutely insane.

They're like, so it's like 17, 18. Like, you just go, just go in there and do it. go do it. They just crank up the number of whatever it is. She's like, oh, we could go a little hotter this time. Yeah, we need to get like really tanned for graduation. And they also, so in doing this, they're like, lock the front door of the tanning studio because they're like,

we don't want anybody coming in and it's naked. So they lock the door. So we know that's going to be bad. But back at Wendy's, she is looking through the pictures. And all of a sudden, inside her bedroom, a really ominous breeze blows through. her power starts to flicker and she looks at the picture

the last picture she took of Jason standing in front of the roller coaster and the way he's standing it looks like the roller coaster is like gonna go right into his head and she looks at the picture and she goes oh my god and I'm like what?

Yeah what are you getting from this? Yeah like a huge light bulb moment for her I'm not understanding why let me tell you I didn't understand a single clue they found I was going what like I just was not following a single clue I didn't get where their

thoughts were going yeah but it's immediately obvious her but she then looks at the picture of Ashley and Ashlyn which is of them holding a big blow-up palm tree that they won at one of the rides at the carnival and that is another big light bulb moment for her where she's like oh my god and she tries to call them and they don't answer and again I'm like okay that's so funny it's like the it's like the writer decided to skip the part that was the actual to like make that make sense. And it's just like, well, just do their reactions as if we've written things at our clues. Right. And if you don't get it, you just aren't paying close to have attention. Yeah, it's obvious the clue.

Palm tree tanning? Sun. I'm like, sure? Yeah, I mean, yeah. She's like, oh my God, it's all right here. Yeah. But, you know, she's right. So cut back to the tanning salon and they're getting in their little.

tanning beds which again i was like this is insane getting into that is i mean do people i mean people still do that yeah i think they still are around yeah it i don't understand horrifying it's so scary to get in there i would just be like surround yourself with fucking uv lights and that's it and you're and you're just blazing in uv like it which we just know is bad it's so it's crazy it's so wild um especially when there are so many options for like spray tans that are like organic and like yeah you can do it i mean i guess there really weren't in 2006 no no yeah but i'm sure it was all toxic please don't do it anymore it feels really bad um even if this doesn't happen which is that again we get a real uh you know a rub gulberg of how this ends up causing their death which is

they bring a drink in the way they talk to each other too like a huge slurpy they have a big slurpy and one of them says the other shit I forgot my iPod and the other one goes sucks bitch yeah and I just loved their energy then they're like there's a CD player we can play and then like that seems like it's going to kill them for a second or something like some CDs fall and then they're like they put on a song and then they have headphones that are connected to it so they each have one headphone I didn't understand I didn't understand I didn't understand the logistics of this I didn't understand I was like why don't you just play the CD player like it's a boom box yeah so they put the drink gets put the slush

gets put on a thing above like I guess a heater for the room or the thing that controls the electricity and we see condensation start dripping so we're like okay that's bad um and they get they take their tops off uh and we look at their tits a lot they just zoom in on them just zoom over and then even the point where like then it's starting they're listening to like roller coaster yes okay which didn't not I didn't hit me until I was taking notes of like they very narrowly avoided dying on a roller coaster and like 50 people I know just did and they're just like roller coaster like that would be so traring yeah that's supposed to be that's supposed to be a funny joke for us I guess I think so but in

reality they would be like skip this song skip it fuck fuck no yeah and what I actually said was like what a random song I didn't like I didn't get it at all but they're loving it and yeah we start to see one thing is leading to another the dripping into the electricity the temp is going up up up they're starting to feel hot um and then a shelf falls this was pretty fun i thought because it was so crazy that it was like i did not recall how it happened you tell me i think what happened was that the shelf broke like and then where the CDs were and everything falls and then the shelf it's self just like falls between their two tanning beds and then like into the doors of like underneath like between the door so they can't lift up out of it. I didn't fully get how that works. Yeah. I don't know how it got there, but it did seem to like how you put. Yeah, like a bit in like a door handle like a bar to keep it from. It does that. Yeah. And I also just got something else that when they die and then you go to their caskets that it's like two tanning beds. I didn't really put that. Because I was

like, why are they having a mutual, like a joint funeral? I was like, I think, but we watch, this stuff, I think is one of the gnarlier ones, which is just like we watch them. Crisp up. Just crisp up. And they're like screaming and trying to push out, but that's obviously very hot and they can't get out. And they're like, their bodies are turning burned and scaly.

In these things, I like imagine, I feel like you'd have to at some point, like stop feeling your body, right? feel like you'd be in your brain I mean maybe I think you can really please I don't think it would happen fast enough no I mean it'd be awful but I think at some point you would stop feeling it probably so they're

just they're cooking and screaming and then eventually the tanning beds oh and Yuri has the guy who runs it has been fully locked out the back the tube exploded and so he can't get back in the front doors locked they're screaming and then the tanning bed just burst into flames and then they fully just I think some

glass shatters and it's bad it's a really really, really bad way to go. Yep. Yeah. And so unnecessary. So it makes it even worse. So unnecessary. It was bad for their skin to begin with.

Yeah. And yeah, then we cut to their funeral and they are having a joint funeral. And at this funeral, Wendy calls Kevin and on his cell phone, he picks up and she goes, I'm with Jay. And he looks over and she's like across the cemetery at Jason's head. stone and it's like put a weird way to phrase that yeah but he goes over to her and she this is where she reveals her photo theory which were you as shocked why this says i was Lauren with the first picture she pulls out wait what was it Abraham Lincoln oh yeah well I was like I don't

this is this hearing made no fucking sense so she she pulls out like printouts that she has and one is the first one is Abraham Lincoln she's like and it has like all of vague very faint line through the top of his head actually his hair and then she's like see this photo was taken before and then I'm like so it went through his hair like it doesn't look like he's going to be killed it wasn't even like actually a good image it was like yeah very very like like key and she just decided this is true and it's 100% makes it's like the evidence is right here see he has a line on this picture I'm like so and that's right where he was shot in head The next picture, then, oh, then I think she was the next one, 9-11.

Yep. Because she brushes past it. I think they cut something. And I'm curious if the trivia had anything like this because my theory was that they, she had said something like horrible because it was like, she just shows this picture of, you can tell it's the Twin Towers and then there's a shadow of an airplane on the building, which doesn't tell you any, when did that. I don't understand what you're trying to show.

Yeah. What does that mean? it just doesn't mean anything. No, but she thinks it absolutely does. But she just shows it without saying a word and then they move on. And so I'm like, she said something that was too far. Afterwards, they were like, ooh. Why would you say that?

Because like she didn't explain it at all. And then she just moved on to the next one, which I think was the flight 180 or something or was that or something else? I think it was. Oh, it was a picture of the accident from Final Estation 2 where they're on route 180. And she's like, see, it's the same number as it was a clue about how those people were going to die. It was honestly like an improv scene or something. They were just like, these things connect. Like you're just like, you're just talking. Like it doesn't have anything to do with

anything. There was nothing. Like, if you wrote that, you'd be like, I need to think about this more. Because there's not, she's not really proving anything with this. No. You're watching it. You're not going like, oh, like there's nothing there. There's nothing there. And she's like, I have all these photos that he took of everyone. And so then look, look at this photo of Jason. The roller coaster's going into his head. It showed how he was going to die. And then this picture of Ashley,

these photos, they're all, it's all the clues. And then she almost faints. Yeah. And Kevin says, I feel like the problem with this is you could look at any photo ever and do this. 100%. No, she doesn't even have a point.

She's like, she's just showing pictures of things that connect to things that were bad. Like, yeah. this guy got killed the twin towers like it she's just like see see that's like that's not anything you don't have a theory um but she almost faints and so kevin's like oh my god when was the last time you ate she's just i don't remember and so he's like okay we got it we're going to go get food so they go to go through a drive-thru and like we're going to look through the pictures on our way to the drive-thru and as they're they get to the drive-thru and they that's where they start

explaining their theory that uh jason and jason was in the front row of the roller coaster and so the people in the front of our roller coaster would have been the first to die so ashlin and ashley were in the front row we need to think about who's next who's going to die next and they realized that frankie cheeks was right behind them it's the worst name i believe at one point two he calls himself Franklin Cheeks, which is just really... It's actually worse. They realize he's going to be next. And so they look at his phone and they're like, let's, you got to look at like what the clue

might be. It's all right here. And it's a picture of him climbing a rope ladder at the carnival. They're like, okay, so maybe, oh, Kevin goes, it's obvious. He's going to fall off a ladder. And she's like, but it's a rope ladder. Maybe he hangs himself. You know, it might not be that obvious.

Like all the other ones have been. say yeah that would be on track meanwhile they're in the drive-thru and there's a car in front of them ordering at the window and then a car pulls up behind them so they're wedged in the scene is very scary then a truck starts backing into them from the side doesn't see that they're there and by the way he's backing fully into a building anyway even if like he doesn't see their car cross like a grass area it's like he's backing down and then there's a car a truck that's out of control roll that starts coming down. Yes.

So they get wedged in by this one truck who backs up onto their door on the drive-thru. I'm like, you are horrible at driving. Like, you need to not be operating a vehicle. Yes. But they're stuck and they, yeah, they see from the top of the hill another truck, like a moving type truck rolling down the hill and realize there's nobody in the driver's seat of that car. Oh my God. Oh, my God.

We got to get out. And so they're honking to the car in front of them to be like, like you got to pull forward there's a car at you and they can't get out because they're wedged in they're wedged and they haven't like pieced together yet that they're safe because they're not next on death's kill list they're not concerned about that no no no I would be concerned about this truck barreling towards me too I think the car in front of them isn't moving he doesn't even turn around he just flips them off and is like I got to order my food shut up and so they at the last second burst out of the windshield yeah he breaks the windshield and then they jump through

and then the truck comes and smashes into the back of the whole line of cars, right? And then this guy's head explodes. Yeah. So it's a constant reaction where all these cars get, I had to watch this back to be like, what happened? Yeah. Because it's, I think what happens is the crash pushes the car engine of Kevin's car.

So the guy in the front is in a convertible. So he's got no protection. The, his, the engine of. Kevin's car gets flung out into the back of the head of the guy driving the convertible. But what happens is the engine fan goes and slices the whole like back of his head off. Oh, wow. Yeah. And they just watch that.

And they just watch it happen. And they see, oh my God, guess who that person was. Oh. That was Frankie Cheeks. Okay. Okay. I feel like if we had seen that, it was. Frankie Cheeks beforehand, that could have built some suspense for us as audience members who know

that it follows up, follow a chronology, because I wasn't stressed because I know that they're not going to die in this scene. Yeah, no, but Frankie Cheeks dies bad. It's his head gets nasty. Really disgusting. Interesting. I feel like they don't usually show it from somebody else's perspective, though. It's usually you are in that scene with that character. No, yeah, it really caught us, really caught us off guard. Yeah. All right. Um, but they're like, what the fuck? That's not the wasn't the photo. Um, but they go back to Wendy's house and they're like, we got to look through all these pictures and we need to see everyone who was on the roller coaster. Does it have to be a photo that she has taken is that is that at least limited to that. Is the pictures from her camera from grad night. But the Abraham Lincoln and the 9-11 photos, those are just from the internet. Those are just to prove. You're just like, proof. She didn't even explain that idea. No. Because I feel like pulling them from the internet. internet is like it could be literally any photo but yeah oh yeah okay this theory this theory is yeah yeah no it's it's rock solid um we need it to be so we need this we all need this um so they're looking

through the pictures to see who else is on the roller coaster and they realize there's a a row of a couple people that they can't see who they are because when she was going to take a picture that's when the guy running the ride he like put his hand in front of her face and was like hey no no cameras on the ride so we have like mostly an arm and some blurred people behind them like we don't know who those people are but they're going to die by arm stuff we who knows and we know that who we know that oh okay so they're looking through the photos they see a picture of carry and they have a sad moment and Kevin says and this was truly crazy he was like you know I was going to propose to her after graduation which we know

she said she was going to dump him and also you're 18 they're 12 yeah it's like why are you doing that this is crazy no it's because she died that he feels like yeah yeah sure um and then we flip to the next photo and we see in the in the background of the upskirt photo that kevin took is Frankie cheeks and what's right behind Frankie cheeks is a fan so that once again they're like there it is the theory is correct yeah wow And so they're reinvigorated on their theory. They look through the photos. They see that Lewis, the football jock, is next.

And in his photo, he's doing that hammer on the bell thing. And there's all sorts of stuff in this photo. There's like a ride that is probably racially insensitive. That's like a ninja holding like two big swords. And then there's the hammer thing. So they're like, okay, a hammer is something's going to fall in his head. But no, there's also the swords. And Kevin goes, oh, my.

gosh he's at football training camp right now and the team is the sultans and their picture is two swords like that's the clue so they're like we got to go find louis okay and meanwhile kevin's like i don't want to look at our photos like we're probably in there but i we can't see how we're going to die not not until we have to so we haven't already their photos whatever yeah you're not curious at all yeah it might be helpful let's keep it a surprise for later And we don't know that it's going in order. Like, why don't we just look at it and see what all the things are? Especially because these pictures are just clear cut evidence and we would know 100% what's going to happen.

But they go to see Lewis at the gym. And at this point, Joel had like wasn't really watching with me except for every time we would gear up towards a death. He would like come back over and he was like, oh, as soon as they got to the gym, he was like, oh, the gym. Like he like remembered this death scene. Again, great places to go for these deaths. Like going to a big gym full of like. really intense high school football players who are all like, the energy

in this scene is the most chaotic place I've ever seen in my life. They're all like, like, lifting weights and like screaming and it's like really an upsetting place. But they go to see Lewis

and he thinks they've lost it. He's like, you're seeing patterns everywhere because you feel badly about what happened and he feel guilty. but I'm never going to die those are words he says I think they say that in two also like we're going to live forever I'm never dying

I'm never dying it's just absolutely not true regardless of circumstance it doesn't matter it doesn't matter you will die but he doesn't think he will but Kevin is trying to convince him like look at these photos man this is

this is proof also again like to be acting this way I'm never going to die when once again a bunch of your classmates and people we were with just died on a roller coaster that you almost were on then two other of your classmates died in a crazy freak tanning bed accident

then another one of your classmates just got a car engine in his head like you at least would be thinking that death is possible at this point but he doesn't think that and Kevin's trying to convince him and Wendy is doing her a really scared thing where she's walking around the gym seeing death signs everywhere she there's an ominous breeze I think once again we see Lewis go to one of those

I don't know what this machine is no but you pull your arms in and a bar pulls weights you know everyone knows everyone knows and it's under two swords up on the wall crisscross two big swords which I'm like, are those actual sharp swords? Why would they be hanging there? Why would they be? They should absolutely be plastic like party city swords. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or just not have them at all. Or a picture. There's a painting. A poster of some sort. But no, it's a no, a painting. A work of art.

A painting. A commission. A painting. I would like it to be painted. But he's so he goes to that machine and it's right under those. And like the whole room is like shaking because all these football players are like. It's so funny to exercise right under two swords. it's really the worst possible thing but he's like we avoided death this is a success story for us I'm gonna go to states I'm never gonna die I just win fuck death I just win and as he like pulls the machine and it shakes the wall and the swords fall and they both come down and they slice the wires on his machine but don't get him oh and he's

and they are like oh my god that and he's psyched he's like you see that fuck death i just win and he grabs the things again pulls his arms in to pull the weights but the wires that hold the weights on have been snapped and they both smash it to his head from both sides and squash are like pumpkin oh my god it's kind of like my moment of rampantly jumping out of the slide and then hitting my head. Like, I'm fine. It's like, I'm never going to die. Dash.

And again, the amount of times that the two of them, Kevin and Wendy, have had somebody else's blood just spattered all over them. Yeah. And that they keep going. I'm like, you got to get some time alone. Like, this is just too much. This is too much. Just stop seeking this out.

Like, you're watching people get decapitated everywhere you look. At all the time. You've seen the worst things anyone could ever see over and over and over again. And they decide, okay, well, we got to keep doing this. And why is it the town kind of alarmed? It's like so many teens are dying in insane ways and nobody's stepping in to say anything. There's no like speech happening. Also interesting, you know, how far are we geographically from where the other two films have taken

in place because it seems like we're in a world where this has happened twice before. I don't even know. I don't even know where this one is. This one is like New England. I can't remember where the other ones are. I mean, I guess it would, I guess probably if this were real happening in three separate locations, it wouldn't be, you know, linked together necessarily. Not necessarily.

She would link it. True. I mean, this also this movie, even more so than two, I feel. I mean, these movies are just like, hey, a bunch of deaths. Let's see how it happens. This one is, there's nothing in between. They literally just go person to person to person, person, death, death, death, death, death, and then.

And it's an hour and a half and they're in and out. They're just on like a death scavenger hunt. Just arriving at each new death scene. Yeah. So the next one is the hardware store. Another great place for a bunch of deaths to happen. And this is Aaron and Ian, the goth couple. We see them getting into all sorts of stuff that could cause their deaths.

He's shooting pigeons with a nail gun. Oof. He's driving around in a fork lift. I mean, it's a hardware store. There's blades everywhere. I'm absolutely very nervous. they don't take this very seriously. They're like, you know, whatever.

Ian's like, we're biological entities and death is the natural conclusion. And he's like climbing on shelves and things are falling down and no one reacts. Like it's just, it's chaos. It's chaos. Yeah, they're like closing down the store. And it's like, first of all, don't let two teenagers work closing shift alone. But Ian makes the point where he's like, oh, well, if it's going in a line and the last person's going to die or it's going to kill everybody until the last person. maybe you should just kill yourself.

It's like, okay. And they do tell him that if we intervene, the death will skip that person because that's what happened in the other times that this has happened. So they're just started talking it through. All sorts of things started. They're looking at the photo,

trying to find where's the clue, what's going to happen. They keep thinking they see it. They're like, wait, look out. And that doesn't cause the death. But we've seen, again, another chain reaction has been set off where a box fell on another forklift,

which is moving, pushing things in the back of the store. They end up in a narrow little shelf area. He's got a buzz saw going. So we're like, is that going to be that? But then they see a bunch of wooden stakes on a top shelf start to fall. And they're like, oh, my God, that's it. They are like, Ian, look out. They push him out of the way.

They all start falling. And then shelves are, all of a sudden, like, the whole, store is coming apart like earthquake style and Ian gets at they all managed to get out of the way but in all the things falling Aaron gets pushed back into a shelf and it's the shelf where the nail gun was and it starts just going off and it shoots from the back of her head through her face like 20 times that part was disgusting that one was really bad and they're all just watching this happen. What was the photo for these two? The photo? It was

I don't know what I have no idea what it had to do with this. I have no idea. I don't think we could have known even if we had seen. I know I saw it. None of it makes any sense. None of it makes any sense. Certainly none of this. And I don't even think they even deal with it. They're just sort of like, like she's looking at the photo when the steak start falling. He's like, that's what it is. And it's like, okay, whatever. It doesn't matter now. It doesn't matter. But so

they intervened. He doesn't die. But Aaron did and so they now realize okay well the last two people to die are going to be Kevin and then Wendy but there are the unknown people the hand photo people are in front of them

so we have to figure out who those people are and then it's going to be us and so they decide to split up and try to figure out who ask around and figure out who else is on the roller coaster and as Wendy is going home we see Ian ominously watching her from his truck.

So that's going to be bad. Oh, because he's the one that's maybe considering killing them to try to break this. And as he just watched his girlfriend die in a really, really, really terrible way. Yeah. But no one mourns anything. No one mourns anything. And we also have never seen a body be dealt with in any way. No.

Like they don't call the cops. Just leave it at the hardware store for the opening shift. They just don't. There's no. After this one that we do see Wendy and Kevin leaving the police station together. Oh, okay. As if they, like, told the cops about it. But again, it's like, well, okay.

Call an ambulance. Like, do something. Yeah. Yeah. So at home, we see Wendy napping in front of her computer and Julie sneaks in and sees the charm bracelet that she absolutely must have and takes it back. And it's like, okay, great, I have my little charm bracelet. And she leaves.

And she's getting, her friends are coming to pick her up and they honk out front to get her, which wakes Wendy up. And Wendy wakes up and she's got that picture on her computer of the hand, the unknown person and she goes oh my god and she's like zooms and zooms in and zooms in and on the wrist of the person whose face she can't see is that charm bracelet yeah she didn't see her sister no a couple road on the ride i guess she was too nervous yeah she was really freaking out she was not taking in her surroundings no she unless it said the number six yeah yeah yeah yeah taking it in six six six six six as in if they were two

Two more. Yeah. They were two more of these. That would be really bad. Oh, my God. And so she realizes that Julie is on her way to the town tricentennial. And this is how we know that we're in New England because we go to the town tricentennial, which she calls Kevin and is like, we have to go to the, it's Julie, she's next.

Meet at the town tricentennial. And he says, well, okay, after Julie, we're next. So I think it's time that we look at our photos. So Wendy looks at her photo and she's like, is just me with Jason his face is all blurry and I'm just wearing my McKinley high school t-shirt you're like okay what's my photo Kevin says she's like it's the one where I flashed the camera in your face after you took that upscar photo yeah and so it's just really really bright and overexposed and he says you mean like a firework went off in my face he looks over and it's like

fireworks display um and we see a bunch of people getting ready to set up fireworks okay so they go to the tricentennial and it's like uh there's a guy on a horse riding through being said the british are coming the british are coming we see revolutionary war uh uniforms and a guy pretending to be ben franklin so that's about where we are in the country yeah um somewhere where they do that people care about that yeah sure and as she's driving to the tricentennial her radio starts freaking out which did happen before frankie cheeks died when she was in the car with kevin the radio to start like going like and like a song starts playing

there's someone walking behind you and so that happened before it's now happening and she realizes she's being tailed by somebody and we know that it's Ian so she's freaked out

but she makes it the tricentennial they find Julie Kevin and Wendy find Julie but she runs away from them because she fucking hates her sister she's just like ooh leave me alone and so she's running through the crowd

they're running after her we see somewhere a cart got like knocked off its wheels. We don't know what that's going to mean yet, but we, you know, close up on it. And then the fireworks display starts happening. The fireworks start going off. And a horse starts totally freaking out because there are fireworks. And the horse is like tied to a rope, which is like tied to a stake in the ground.

This part's really scary. This part is very scary. And it and it just rears up and starts running. And of course, easy. pulls that fucking steak out of the dirt and is running through the crowd trampling people running people over and so that's happening and then Kevin and Wendy are chasing after Julie they Kevin finally catches up to her before Wendy does and he's like Julie you're in danger we have to talk to you and she goes like how about this and like flips him off again which is like Julie just stop this has been the worst week ever like just everyone they know is dead take a minute um but when she does that wendy in her mind's eye flashes to her photo that she took of julia where she was flipping her off the exact same way and she was in front of the carousel which had white horses on it cut back the horse runs through the rope

it was tied to swings around julie's neck and it starts dragging julie through the crowd by her neck so she's choking and being dragged by a well crazed horse yeah and no one's really trying to stop that yeah they're like there's not enough efforts to stop the horse there's people everywhere but yeah so then they're like oh my god oh my god i gotta be honest with you i probably wouldn't make an effort i would probably i mean well yeah i probably scared it'd be a lot the guy i mean was i always forget his name the main character Kevin yeah the main person we would be talking about for an hour um Kevin was like he has a he has a good plan so he grabs like a sword A lot of swords in this town.

Who has swords? Yeah. And he's basically, he basically chops into the rope just in time. She's about to get dragged into some spikes. Yeah. And then it, you know, she's released. Yeah. Which was pretty amazing.

I was going to say, that's a risky sword move. He could have decapitated her. If she's one second. Exactly. But he does it. And so they, they, you know, Kevin and Wendy get up to Julia. Like, oh my God, I'm like, Julie. And Wendy immediately says.

Julie, who is next to you on the roller coaster? They're next. They're next. And Julie's friends have run up because, you know, their friend just got dragged by her neck through the crowd. And one of them hears Wendy saying that and stands up. And then the cart that we saw get like knocked off its wheels, runs into a pole and knocks it loose and it flies to the air

and impales her straight through her stomach. And so that girl is immediately dead. I think another horse did that, actually. Maybe the same horse. A horse ran, got loose again and it was tied to a pole. They keep tying these horses to things they shouldn't be tied to. And the bull comes loose and, yeah, impales her. I just think like in the moment I didn't think this, but now that we're talking about it,

there's just not enough of a reaction to all of this. Absolutely. In the moment, I'm like, whoa, crazy. I'm like, I'm more just processing like the filming of it or something. And then I'm like, so I think we're going to need everyone to be told they have to go home like there's not enough like I feel like in scream they which because it's like the main movie I've seen they like they like turn they make the town like go to bed like it's like we're having a curfew and like let's all process this is bad like something bad is happening like

here they're just kind of like so the carnival I guess we'll keep hanging out but like this girl just got impaled but like there's not that feeling no reason to end the whole night you know we're all out yeah that was a freak accident like it's not going to happen again we're having a lot of fun And I'd hate to, I'd hate to sacrifice that for. It's the town tricentennial, you know, it's important. Yeah. And they all absolutely in this movie too, they happen like seemingly within like 20 minutes of each other.

Like it's just like they're just, it just. It's nonstop. Like no time has passed. Yeah. No time has passed. But because this girl just died now, Wendy's like, oh my God, it's Kevin's next. And Kevin, somehow he's gotten a little bit away from. them and again another horse fucking kicks him rear both back legs kicks him shoots him into

a grill or like where the fireworks are and a big fire starts but they grab him and managed to pull him away so he doesn't die but now it's wendy and they're like oh fuck okay we've reached the end of the line it's wendy so what if they think the rule is for all these skipped people that is going to come back to them or that they're all fine they're not thinking about that but I'm thinking about that because that's what happens on the other ways. Yeah. Death does eventually come back for them. But they're not worried about that in this moment, which, you know, sure, prioritize.

But so now they're like, okay, it's Wendy's turn and she sees Ian being all creepy and, like, stalking them. And she goes, oh my God, I was wearing my McKinley T-shirt. Ian McKinley is going to cause my death. Yeah. So they're trying to get away from him. He starts taunting them and

he realized like, oh my God, I'm going to cause your death. Like, you caused errands. All right, let's fucking go. Let's like, let's get over with and Wendy says what if you just stay away from me we can end this you know you can save me we'll all be fine and once again he goes well I'm fine it skipped me I'm not dying yeah and then a bunch of fireworks go off they don't like they shoot like at him but they don't get him once again he's like I'm never dying see and then from above a sign falls and

this one I had to watch again because he looks he stands stick straight and then turns his head totally up to look at it and then just watches it fall it's like you actually had time to move as you see this you saw it all happening and then it just splats him down yeah and then he's done love it

it's a sign that certainly was heavy but it cuts him it splats half his body and sends like his head and one half of his torso like off to the side yeah it was almost like a stadium like scoreboard or something I don't know what it was

but it yeah it just like falls down and he's gone he's gone and then cut to five months later yeah and Wendy's on a subway with two new people we don't know and they're discussing what stop they're going to get off at they're going to get off at all his wall two more stops and

there's a guy on the subway playing the guitar you know I wonder what they were singing because I'm sure it was like you're gonna die well so they start singing that there is someone walking behind you and Wendy goes like oh my god and then a breeze blows to the subway his death is here

she starts she looks at all the ads on oh that's so silly yeah it's like you can't escape death or taxes if we all have something to do with it and one is like a tanning salon and she's like oh my god oh my god it's all the the dust she looks out the window of the subway way car and sees like her face looks like blurred because of the moving train.

She remembers her photo with Jason's face blurred. She's like, oh my God. Oh my God. There's how I'm going to die. And they decide. She's like, we have to get off at the next stop. Because we hear an announcement going like, Oswald, the end of the line. Once again, the end of the line.

Very ominous. It's actually Tony Todd's voice. Oh, fun. Which is fun. And so she's like, we have to get off at the next stop. And she, meanwhile, cut to. a rat Sammy

we see a guy throw what looks to me like tomato paste do you know what this was no is a tube of something that he was eating it was like tomato sauce

like a metal tube just like snacking tomato paste and we see him throw it on the tracks and we see a rat come up to it for a yummy yummy little snack again

it's shot in a way that we're like uh oh but I'm like I okay there's no way to predict what they're getting ever like absolutely no way um and wendy tries to get off the next stop but as she goes to get off the train she runs into julie her sister trying to get on and they're like oh my god what are you

crazy it's so crazy what the chances she's like oh my god i was coming early to visit you i can't believe i managed to surprise you so they end up staying on the train because now they get along because she saved her life yeah when and she's like julius says what's wrong you seem freaked out and she says it just started feeling again like it did before and Julie's like no no no we are like it's not going to happen it skipped you it skipped us we're fine just imagining a horse with a blurry face with a McKinley shirt getting on the train like just it all starts happening but Julie does say she's like besides you know if anything were to happen it's going to happen to me first and then Kevin so you're totally fine until something happens to us and like ha ha ha okay you're right we're fine look over yeah and then Kevin Kevin is has been on the train the whole time they didn't see him he's in the corner and they're like oh no it's like go up to Kevin and when he's like what are you doing why are you on this train and he says are you okay you see him freaked out and then he goes oh god it's not happening again is it it is sweetie that's all we talk about

that's literally the only thing that's happening cut to the rat and the food that the rat is eating the paste drips onto the track which is a sparring is a sparring so many things. Which makes the... This movie is about how fragile our infrastructure is. Yes. A spark causes the... You know how the tracks like a trail like shifts to make it go one way or the other?

It shorts, which makes it move in the wrong direction. And immediately, this subway car is just flying through the underground. Like, just... It starts shaking and... flying so fast, completely untethered to anything. People are screaming. Julie, I think, gets, like, thrown off the train. Kevin's getting pushed against the window,

and then he gets pushed out and his, again, gets chopped hamburger-style front half off. And then the train comes to a screeching halt. Wendy gets thrown out of the train onto the tracks. Comes to, looks around. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Everybody's dead.

And she's got her leg is broken. She can't move. And she looks up and another train is coming barreling straight towards her. She screams. Just as the train's about tighter. She comes to back on the train seeing Kevin. Oh, my God. Now that threw me for a loop.

And it shouldn't have. And once again, they love to do that. Yeah. And I was like, um. Because she has, because she can't. Fool me twice, you know. Mm-hmm. And Kevin's like, oh, my God.

It just happened again, didn't it? And so they go to pull the brakes, you know, stop the train. Those breaks aren't working. Nobody's answering. And we hear screech, cut to black, crash. Credits. A cut to black. I mean, I guess we don't need to see it again.

We did just see it. No, we saw it. Yeah, that would be, I guess, pretty annoying to have to just watch. And I was kind of surprised she died at the end. but I was kind of glad for her because I felt like she just... You're never recovering from that. Only living for her death at this point.

Although she did seem pretty good in that five months later, considering it was only five years later. She had new friends and she was like... Yeah, she was doing great. But no, she did presumably die. The one thing I saw that was maybe the ending that got changed is they were maybe

going to have the two characters from Final Destination 2 that do survive also on the train. Oh, that'd be fun. To be like, yeah, they all die. Because the whole thing is death, they always die. They think they outsmarted death, but they didn't unsmarted death. Yeah. And then that was what they changed because people didn't like it.

I guess. I, again, I could find no concrete evidence about what the ending. Yeah. Which I was upset by. I really, really wanted to know. Yeah. I mean, it is fun that everybody dies, but it also makes it as a franchise, a bummer, that we can't get the same.

actors like coming back because they are they are currently making a new final destination movie which i am excited for and it's by the writer of uh scream five and scream six guy busick oh wow so i think it will be i think it will be fun i'm excited for it number final destination it'll be number six six wow six oh wow so he wrote scream six two more of those finalization six oh my well but yeah it's like i'd love for devon solid to be somewhere. Would love for more Devons. He died.

He is dead. He is dead. Would love for more Ryan Merriman to be really honest. Yeah. Yeah. No.

So they're all, yeah, they're all dead. I mean, I guess we didn't see the crash the second time. So you never know. Yeah.

Right. Sure. Maybe they live. Right. Maybe they lived. Yeah. Probably not. Probably not.

How did you, as someone who doesn't like scary movies, but does like scream and had not seen a final destination how how did you feel after you watched this movie I thought it was pretty fun I also I was not scared at all and it didn't stick with me in any way but I had a good time watching it and it was like I liked I liked the era and sort of like the choices they made so I feel like yeah talking about it now I'm like they just really didn't process it enough and that's like silly but you know it's kind of to be expected with a movie like this once it's the third one they're like we kind of know what we're getting at yeah they're really just I really felt especially the transition between two and three having seen two not too long going to be like oh they even they took even less plot they were just like that doesn't matter it really doesn't matter yeah which makes me intrigued for how they'll do a somewhat reboot I suppose with this like new one what are they going to do I feel like our generation now like the way things are now people are going to want more processing I think so because I mean because it's about just people just dying without any sort it's not a killer it's not right I don't know it feels like death. Yeah.

I feel like we might get that. We could get that. The new screams have been like more self... I mean, Scream is a self-aware franchise, but it feels like they've been really like addressing what Scream even is. So I am very curious to see how they deal with this one. Yeah. Could be fun.

I mean, sure, it will be fun. But how? How will it be fun? In what ways? So what death do we want to die if we had to die away in this movie? Oh. I feel like Ian, right? Isn't his kind of fast and unexpected?

He's kind of alive for a minute after he's been chopped. Do you know who's the fastest, Lewis, the head pumpkin, head pumpkin smash. Yeah, but that's kind of embarrassing. Because he's so, like, he's so cocky during it. I don't know. I feel like. Maybe the, the engine to the back of the head guy? Maybe.

Because you have no idea. You're just sitting there. Yeah, he was about to get some fast food. He's probably in a great, great state of mind. I don't know. The horse seems kind of fun. Yeah. being dragged

Oh, I guess the girl who got impaled That went pretty fast too Yeah I'll tell you which one I don't want is the tanning bed We can all probably rank that one last Slown our torture And runner up is nail gun nail gun through the head

Because again so many nails Yeah, you felt some of them Yeah, it's true Oh yeah Oh she definitely felt It took a lot of those to kill her Okay yeah Pass

We'll pass on that one Yeah I'll take an engine into the head. Yeah. Car car engine fan, which is, again, what I think happened? Yeah, yeah. Not certain. Yeah.

Perfect. Potentially that. Potentially that. Wow. Honestly, it happened so fast that I was like, he's gone. Like, I just wasn't like, what was it? It was pretty quick. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, there it is. There's Final Destination 3. It was very fun. It's very fun. It's a fun. And again, so fast. Just the quickest little movie that's,
