This is Ethan Embry, and you're listening to The Horror Returns.
Greetings, victims.
For those of you delight and dread, who fantasize about fear,
who glorify and go.
Welcome.
You have found the place where the horror returns.
Listeners beware.
This podcast contains major plot spoilers and the foulest of language.
Join us in celebrating the old and the new, the best, and the worst in horror.
Welcome back to the war returns.
You get a double dose this week because we did our special millennium episode and now we're following up with our regular.
show. I'm Lance
and with me as always are my
co-hosts, Fabulous
Philip and brutal Brian.
What's going on? Fabulous.
Why am I brutal?
Why am I fabulous?
All right. You guys are going to come up with your own
fucking nicknames. What's going on?
Nothing much. How's everything going with you guys?
Pretty good, man. Just
living the dream. Trying to keep up
with work and
baseball and watching movies and all that good stuff.
Well, I had family here all weekend.
It was a holiday weekend.
And as you guys know, first we were going to go on vacation Saturday.
Then my wife said, nah, take Friday off.
Let's do an extra day.
Then we're going to go on vacation Friday.
And now she fucking says, as soon as you get home Thursday,
get us a hotel room at the casino on the,
on the way there Thursday night.
I want to do another night.
I can't wait to get out of town.
I can't leave town fast enough.
Now we're fucking leaving Thursday,
so that's why we're rushing the show.
I haven't seen either of the two movies.
This is going to be interesting.
You guys are going to definitely take the reins on this show
because with family in town,
I just never got the opportunity.
Fuck, I guess we'll jump right in.
Phil, Phil, what's your cool of the week, man?
Ex Machina, that was a classic.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the movie, man.
It was probably only the second time I've seen it.
And I think if you've never watched it, it's definitely something to check out.
It's phenomenal.
Yeah, it definitely holds up.
So great, so great.
Nine on ten.
Easy.
Probably more than that eventually, but right now it's a nine.
Cool.
What about you, Brian?
I'm going to have to go with Happen Leonard.
I started, I originally was just going to watch a couple episodes of the first season,
and I've already burned through the first two seasons.
All right.
Great show.
I love the chemistry between what is his name, James Pierfoy.
Yeah, and Omar.
Yes.
Michael Kay Williams.
Yeah, I just love the relationship between them.
And yeah, and just the shit they get into is just amazing.
And I can't wait to get into season three.
Season three looks like the way season two ended, it's going to be really interesting.
Yeah, I watch something else too, but I can't fucking remember what the hell it was.
Oh, man, what you think about it?
I'll weigh in on Hap and Leonard.
Because I read Savage Season, the book that mapped to the first season.
Okay.
And it's awesome.
But I thought the second season was even better, and I haven't gotten into the third yet.
But we have a retrospective coming up sometime in the near future.
So I'll get there pretty soon.
What else did you check out, Phil?
Fuck, I know, man.
I'll bring it up sometime in the middle of the episode, I'm sure.
It wouldn't be the first time, right?
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
All right.
Well, yeah, I'm enjoying Hap and Leonard, too.
But my cool of the week, checked out the first four episodes last night.
The wife and I, Ozark, Season 2.
I'm doing a rewatch of the first season, just so I won't get confused going into the second season.
Yeah, I haven't started on it yet.
Oh, man.
You know, I really wish, I kind of wish I had rewatched the first season because there's so much.
Like, they pick up all the storylines from the first season.
season, but they introduce a whole
lot of new characters, too.
Yeah, because I think I forgot
everything about the first season, except that
Jason Bateman's in it.
Yeah, they're in the Ozarks.
There's a lot going on, man.
Yeah, this season two, they're really up in their game.
They're getting involved in
local politics,
which is kind of interesting.
Like I said, we're four episodes
in, and like there was a huge thing
that happened at the end of the fourth episode.
So I think we got six more to go.
So, yeah, Ozark, season
two, check it out, for sure.
Cool.
News is going to go
a little bit different. Not really,
there's nothing really going on in horror
that we haven't talked a bunch about.
Let's see here.
Casting for the Joker movie?
Oh, gosh, no.
Not since Alec Baldwin joined
and then immediately left.
I haven't heard.
Nothing.
Let's see.
Recently, the producers of the upcoming Big Trouble and Little China remake clarified that it will not be a remake, it will be a continue of the original one.
What?
Oh.
Yes.
And this was the, this was the one that was going to star Johnson, The Rock.
Oh, no.
Oh, that's right.
Okay.
So, see, I'm, okay.
If we ever do like our top 10 movies of all time, this.
This original one will be in my top 10.
I love this movie.
Yeah.
And when they announced that they were remaking it with The Rock, I hated that idea.
Really?
Yeah.
Because I'm like, who's the Rock going to play?
Is he going to be Jack Burton?
Because Jack Burton wasn't really the hero of the first movie.
Right.
Because he really didn't do shit.
But he wasn't pretty awesome.
Yeah.
But now that they're saying this is a continuation and possibly,
I hope that
Kurt Russell will come back
in some way
because there is a comic
there is a comic book called
Old Man Jack
it's a continuation of the
movie
so that would be pretty cool
if some way they can incorporate
Kurt Russell and The Rock
in a movie
Hmm
okay
I'd watch that
See the Rock is so hit or miss though man
Sometimes he does shit that's just so stupid
cheesy and I hope they don't go that route with this one.
Yeah, and I pulled up his upcoming schedule.
If they do this movie, it won't happen for a while because looking at his schedule,
he has Disney's Jungle Cres coming up, which is going to be like their next kind of like big action-adventure movie.
Jungle Cruise.
Yeah, we talked about that one last week.
Somebody that directed one of these movies is directing it, I think.
Yeah, there was.
Maybe Bats or something.
House of wax.
House to wax.
Great.
That should be awesome.
I'm excited.
Also looking at his schedule, he has that Hobbs and Shaw spin-off from Fast and Furious, a Jumaji sequel,
and a movie called Red Notice starring Galgadot, and is directed by the guy that did skyscrapers.
So, like, his schedule is pretty full.
Making money.
Well, can't hate him for that.
Yeah.
You guys ever hear about the diehard
prequel they were trying to make?
No.
Come on, dude.
Is this Joe-Flewis?
It was a prequel to the original
Die-Hard, and it was going to be called
Die-Hard Year 1, but it's now going to be called
McLean.
Ouch.
I assume not Bruce Willis.
No.
I did hear something he would be
in it basically
most of the movie would be like
flashbacks or something.
Wow. Okay. It sounds horrible.
Sounds horrible.
It's not like he has the best track record so far.
No.
And let's see.
One final thing. I don't
really bring up Star Wars a lot because
we just got people, every time I post something
on her page, like immediately
the hate comes in.
Fuck those people.
You hear me?
I'm talking to you, asshole.
So I'll ask you guys this question.
Matt Smith, who was a former Doctor Who, and Dominic Monaghan, who was in the Lord of the Rings movies.
He was one of the hobbits.
Oh, yeah.
They've been cast in...
He was a boss, wasn't he?
Yeah, yeah, yes.
They've been cast in unspecified roles.
And from what I'm hearing, Matt Smith is a major key role.
Dr. Who, Matt Smith?
Yes.
Interesting.
Maybe they're bringing
Hobbits into the Star Wars universe.
You never know.
You never know.
So do you guys think these are good additions to the cast?
Because every time I post somebody's joining episode 9,
apparently it's ruining Star Wars.
And so...
Well, dude, anytime,
you get a movie that's that iconic,
especially a franchise
that's been around for that many
movies. Right.
There's people who think that they
have in their head how it
should go, and if it doesn't go
that specific way with those specific
actors, then it's wrong.
Good way to put it.
It's going to get hate no matter
what they do. Unless they cast that
specific actor for that specific role
for that specific nerd.
So, yeah, as soon as I get more news on these, who they'll be playing, I will let you guys know.
But like I said, very slow news week.
That's all the news.
Oh, I figured out which movie it was.
Okay.
Delittlese Rike puppet master.
Oh, yes.
Oh, nice.
I was like, fuck, I knew I watched something I wanted to talk about.
Yeah, dude, it was
It was pretty great.
The acting was awesome.
It had that guy from Reno 911
who was also in, what was that Canadian group that he was in?
Brian.
Oh, uh.
Kids in the hall.
Yeah.
Was he?
I don't know.
Was he?
I think he was.
Maybe he's not.
We're floundering here.
We need some.
Well, shit.
Maybe I'm talking.
my ass. Anyway, the guy from
Reno 911, he was in it.
I love the
other dude. I can't remember
anybody's name, but the other guy that was in it
too. Great acting, great
cast, great effects.
It was
fun and stupid
the way that it should be.
Yeah, I had a really good
time with it. And they killed
a shit ton of people.
See, I would love to talk to
them because we always talk about
the differences between like
practicals and like CGI
yeah the practicals were
fun in that movie
if they would have went CGI I think it would have
just ruined the movie so I always
want to know is it really
like cost wise is it really
that much
more one way or the other I don't know
because there's a lot of movies that could have been so much
better if it was practical
that's a good point yeah because
bad CGI will take you right
the fuck out of a movie but bad
Practicals are like, eh, you know?
I can deal with that.
Well, yes.
Well, it's like I was saying in that brawling cell block 99, it's almost like they, I don't know.
Maybe I just imagined it, but it almost felt like they were going out of their way to make some of the practical effects look like 80s effects.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, but it was great to watch, though.
Yeah, it was.
It was fucking awesome movie.
It was my other cool of the week last week, right?
Yeah, and what they did in Bone Tomahawk
Those effects were great too
Maybe lay off the computers, guys.
Just saying.
Oh, and I think the other
The variety group you were thinking about that that dude was in
Remember the state that was on MTV for
The early 90s?
Is that the one you're thinking of?
The state.
Yeah, it's a sketch comedy show that was on MTV
Oh, maybe.
I knew he was from something else.
He's been in other stuff besides Reno 911, obviously.
Right.
That's, I don't know.
That's just where I recognized him from.
I was like, look, it's Lieutenant Dangle.
I mean, kids in the hall was a good, a good guess, man,
because that's kind of similar Canadian comedy, right?
Yeah, yeah.
It was one of those.
That's maybe a little before his time.
All right.
What other news do we have, Brian?
That's it.
That's it?
Nothing.
Nothing.
All right, boys.
I guess we're going to rush through it tonight, so you're ready to take our little trip?
We're going to the trailer park?
Brian, where are we going, man?
Trailer park.
Brian?
Slow trailer week?
Yes, one trailer.
I don't know if it's big.
Is it a little transit, a little one?
It's definitely small.
It's definitely small.
Definitely weird.
trailer we're talking about is
I think we're alone now
and I'm not talking about the Tiffany song
but I like that song
not really
this stars
Peter Dinklage
L. Fanning
Charlotte Gainsborough
if I said that right
and Paul Giamani
this is directed by Reed Moreno
not
not
not Moreno for Benj
No
I looked up Reed Moreno.
She's a very attractive lady.
She has directed some episodes for The Handmaid's Tale.
No kidding.
Yeah.
All right.
What did you guys think of?
I think we're alone now.
I think that little guy is super creepy if he wasn't in Game of Thrones the whole time, you know?
Like if you didn't know who he was.
I mean, he's making a name for himself.
and the whole
little people
genre.
Little people genre.
Yeah, I didn't
I didn't really know how to approach that.
We were just talking about
Puppet Master the littlest Reich.
I know, right?
But he's like a legit
actor, man, and he's really good.
Peter Dinklage.
But there's a scene
even in the preview where he's
like, they pan way the fuck
out and he's walking by
like backlit in this library or something
and I'm like
ooh that's weird looking
that I would be creaked out
if I saw that guy walking across the library
he's pretty fucking strong
do you see him just dragging these bodies to these grave holes
yeah like with ease
fucking Peter Dinklage man he's awesome
that's Tyrion for you man
yeah you guys ever you guys ever see his like
I guess it's a headshot
that he took I'm a I'm a
assuming for acting, like, a long time ago, and he has, like, long, luscious hair.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's pretty funny.
It's like young Peter Dinklage.
I remember him, and this movie kind of, to me, had that indie vibe to it,
but I remember him in a movie that came out called The Station Agent.
Have he has ever seen that one?
No.
That really great little independent movie, Patricia Clarkson is in it, and...
Little.
Bobby, Bobby Cannavali.
All right, stop it, Brian.
No, it's a great, low-budget, independent film.
And basically, he's a train enthusiast,
and he's really into model trains and stuff like that.
And he inherits a train station.
Pretty good, pretty good, pretty good, pretty good little movie.
What do you guys think of L. Fanning?
I don't think I've ever seen it
I don't think I've ever seen anything I like her in
man
everything she's in dude
she creeps me out man
yeah
she seems like a weird chick
who's better actress
her Dakota
well I don't know
she's kind of taken over hasn't she
I mean kind of like you had those two twins
and their sister came out of nowhere
it's hard to say
because Dakota fanning doesn't do too much stuff
true
she used to when she was little
But she was everywhere.
Yeah. And so I'm really excited about her being a grown-up actress, and I think that she's still going to kill it.
She's going to end up being like a Helen Marin or something, you know, in the end.
Wow, that's heavy talk, man.
Wasn't she just in that movie where she was trying to enter a contest for writing a Star Wars script or something?
Or not Star Wars Star Trek?
Was that her?
Yeah, Dakota Penning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Dakota.
Okay, sorry about that.
Yeah, you're, what the hell was that movie called?
I can't remember when she's got a Star Trek.
I've wanted to watch it, and I haven't actually got around to it.
Lance, have you seen it?
I have seen it.
I just can't remember what it's called.
I can visualize the cover art where she's like given the Vulcan salute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't remember the name of the movie.
It was kind of forgettable, really.
It wasn't like the best.
you know,
Trek-inspired movie ever, but...
Please stand by.
Please stand by.
What a terrible name.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Especially for a Star Trek movie.
But hey, this
movie that L. Fanning
is coming out in next
should be right up your alley, Phil.
What is she coming out with?
Yeah, it's called Galveston.
Oh.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Like the town?
Yeah.
Her and I'm reading it right now.
Ben Foster and L. Fanning,
after escaping a setup,
a dying hitman, and boy can Ben Foster
play a dying hitman.
Yeah.
Returns to his hometown of Galveston
where he plans his revenge.
True story about that
weird serial killer guy.
Could be.
Maybe.
Could be.
Well, I guess
our interest for this movie is
kind of, what, 50-50 split, maybe?
Checking it out.
I mean, I'll watch it. Is it going to be on Netflix?
Or, I mean, where can we see this movie?
I'm going to say most likely it's going to be VOD in some way.
I think so.
I guess his last one was.
Yeah.
It does, it does not look like a theatrical release.
If it is, it'll be a small one.
That's not what I meant.
but it just keeps happening.
I think we're alone now, September 21st.
It'll be a small one.
That'll be the tagline for the movie.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, on that note, do we have any feedback, Phil?
I know we didn't really get a whole lot of it this week, right?
Just mainly some comments on the Facebook page?
We had a post on the Horror Returns Facebook group,
which if you're not a part of, how dare you?
A Serbian film.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no.
This got a lot of comments.
Wow.
This one got a lot of comments.
Kevin Ness actually wanted to post it.
He said, hell of good, 10 out of 10.
Okay.
Well, we talked about this one last week, right?
Yes.
Baby rape.
Baby rape.
There you go.
I don't believe for a minute, Nez is,
even fucking seen this movie.
Oh, he's brought it up before, so.
What?
Just posting it to be posting it?
Chad Pino says, what the fuck?
Brian, you posted on there, the chick from, uh, uh, get out.
There you go.
And she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no.
Oh, we got a lot of people.
a lot of people posting just funny gifts on it.
Lisa Cole says
I needed bleach from my eyes after that movie.
Was not prepared for the intensity or the craziness of it.
Very dark movie.
I had to shower after watching it.
Like Silkwood shower.
Oh, wow.
All right.
Be Jermine.
Germaine.
Jermine.
Fucking.
Anyway, B.
says, nope.
Never watching it.
For someone like myself who,
will watch anything that's saying something.
Wow.
Lisa,
Lisa Cole again,
she says,
Serbian film makes Salo 120 days of Sodom
look like Disney,
look like a Disney movie.
Wow.
That's another movie I'll never watch again either.
Same here, man.
No interest.
I don't even know what the fuck that is.
Salo.
You don't want to know.
Okay.
I'll just skip that.
I had enough problems with the movie
we fucking watched today, right?
Oh, yeah, we'll get to that one.
And DeSaid had a pretty messed up mind if you read his books
to see how they translate into movies.
So there you go.
A Serbian movie.
Check it out if you like really sick shit.
We got another one about Predator.
We posted a movie poster for it.
And Lance was the first one to jump on it.
He says if it's as bad as the Happy Time murders,
John Slattery will give it a five on five.
Oh, Doc Rotten.
Uh-oh.
Doc Rotten says.
Hey, all kidding aside,
we're going to give a shout out to our friends and horror news.
Help me out here, Brian.
Did you hear their review of the Happy Time murders on horror news radio?
You know, I got it on my phone.
I was going to listen to it just off of this post.
It was a silly.
silly string party.
Let me tell you.
Silly string party.
I gotcha.
We love you guys, but God damn.
Really?
Hey, I'm with you, man.
I think it was a whole lot of fucking fun,
and people shit on it and didn't give it a chance.
And you guys are just silly stringing on it, okay?
Well, I'd rather be doing that and shit on it.
For like five minutes.
Doc Rotten says,
uh, maybe.
Adam Bunch says,
I can't believe I'm not excited about a Predator movie.
And dude,
I cannot agree enough with you.
I still really want to see it,
but like all the previews that I've seen
have not been exciting at all.
I'm the last one,
I'm more excited about it than Venom
compared to their last trailers,
both movies just released.
Well, that's true.
The last trailer for it was a whole lot better.
although I'm still looking forward to Venom.
Lance, you came on and said,
me neither. I'm looking forward to revisiting the original, though.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Adam Butch says, this looks like Alien versus Predator.
It really does.
AVP.
AVP.
I'm not sure what that means, but I assume Alien versus Predator.
John Sattery came back on.
It says Lance Langford, we did a predator for decades of horror 80s coming out Monday, and it holds up remarkably well.
Yeah, it does.
We'll put another review on the post.
And Lance, you said, I'll be sure to listen.
You had me at 1987.
And Arnold.
Absolutely.
Let's see.
We sent out a couple of
Blu-ray DVDs.
Well, just Blu-Rays.
Thanks Brian Stitcher for the hookup
from Chad Pino.
Yep.
You're welcome.
Sorry, it took like two months.
What do we get,
digging up the Mero and Resident Evil,
the final chapter?
Check that out.
Hey, every once in a while,
we'll send out some actual prizes.
Takes us a minute, but we get there.
We still owe some stuff, so if you're listening, just stay tuned.
You'll get it.
Hey, it's not super cheap to run this, and we just do it for the love of it.
So just bear with us.
We promise we'll get your gifts out to you.
I mean, fuck, I've owed Jocelyn a T-shirts for probably a year now.
Oh, shit.
We're going to get to the top.
Oh, man.
Listen, we're about to try some new things and maybe make some money off of it.
If we can make some money, then we can generate some more T-shirts to send to you guys.
So excited about that.
Good deal.
Let's see.
Brian, you posted, you were watching Hannibal, huh?
Yeah, checked it out.
No, this morning I watched a couple episodes.
I just realized I've never finished the last season.
Really?
And I kind of wanted to do a re-watch because I remember I really enjoyed it,
but I don't remember what happened.
Great show, great show.
Lisa Cole agrees with me.
She says, Badass Show, freaking loved it.
I personally didn't watch the,
I watched like two or three episodes in the last season
and never got around to finishing,
but those first two seasons were crazy good.
Yeah, I think because it got canceled,
I think that kind of made me not watch the last season
because I didn't want to get all involved
and then just be left wanting more
that more of something
I wasn't going to get.
Well, it looked like they were
on their way to closing it out
in the second season,
and they probably should have.
And then so the third season was just some shit
that you had no reference for.
And it was...
The whole show is slow,
but that third season was really slow.
Like nothing was happening.
That sucks.
And it's probably one of my favorite series
series and I didn't
finish watching it.
So,
but that's it
for listener feedback this week.
As always, check us out at the horror
returns at gmail.com
or any of the social medias.
We thank you for your
any kind of feedback that you can
give us, post on the horror
returns Facebook group,
any of that stuff, and we'll read it on air.
I think we also still have
the contest
going on for iTunes. So
go
leave us a five-star iTunes review.
I don't know if it has to be five-stars,
but I'm going to suggest it strongly.
That's preferred.
And you can definitely get a T-shirt
as soon as we get them up and made.
We got that new logo coming up,
and it is going to be badass.
I'm super excited about it.
Thank you guys.
We love you so much.
You make it all possible.
Megan is missing.
Writer and director was Michael Goy.
He does a lot of work for television shows,
lots of cinematography,
but he has directed several episodes of American Horror Story.
So definitely got the bona fides there.
Didn't find a whole lot of trivia on this one.
The pretty weird trivia, it says,
The news ticker at the bottom of My Child is Missing segment
reads that the Today Show would be adding a fourth hour in the fall.
This was actually true, which I guess the movie seemed to predict that or whatever.
So, I guess a pretty low-budget movie, guys.
But I definitely heard that it was worth checking out.
I definitely intended to, again, intended to see both of these.
Didn't get a chance to see either because of family issues.
But I'm real, real, real curious to hear what you guys have to say.
I'll go ahead and start this one out.
I was not super stoked about this movie when we started watching it.
Um, not because I had heard anything.
I didn't even know what the movie was.
Uh,
I think maybe I vaguely heard of it when it first came out,
but it wasn't ever really on my radar.
And then I,
I turned it on and it's a very found footage.
It's a lot of, uh,
you know,
at the very beginning of the movie,
these,
you know,
there's two 14 year old girls who look like they're fucking 16,
easy.
And, uh,
they're like,
what you doing,
ho?
Nothing, bitch.
You know,
and it's,
That whole fucking thing.
And it's all like...
That sums it up right there.
Yeah.
And it's all like internet bound footage,
just them talking through Skype to each other or what the fuck ever.
I don't like the sound of this so far.
Well, and it started out and I immediately dismissed it.
I was like, ah, fucking great.
And I didn't even really pay attention to the first 20 minutes in the movie.
Then they get into this speech about Megan,
the girl who goes missing, having her first oral experience.
It's a brutal fucking movie, by the way,
has her first oral experience at camp.
And she's talking very nonchalantly about it
and says that she was about 10,
and this camp counselor was like 17.
And yeah, it gets pretty hectic pretty quick.
and I think that that story pulled me into it
as disgusting as it was
and then it kind of just kept going from there
at one point I thought this movie was real
like a snuff film almost huh
well yeah
not up to that point
spoiler but uh
but like during the middle of it when
they're showing the news reports and shit,
it looks like it's from the early 2000s.
And this movie came out in 2011.
So it looked like they were just showing old footage of fucking like Nancy Grace or some shit,
because that's what the lady looked like, the 80s hair and all that shit.
And I thought it was a real case.
I was like,
they're just making a mockumentary of a girl that actually disappeared.
And then, of course,
once it got to the end of it, I figured
okay, well, they
certainly didn't do that because I don't imagine
the family would have let them show this shit.
Why?
It's really the last
22 minutes of the movie
which
they show as
straight up found footage from a video
camera that they found in the garbage
that's the roughest.
It shows
some
rape of
this, you know, 14-year-old girl
who's pretty innocent.
Oh, my God.
And it's fucking brutal.
It is the most brutal.
That last house on the left scene
that I keep talking about
through our podcast
that's a really brutal rape scene.
Dude, it is not compared this.
This is rough.
And they don't even show it.
They just show her face the whole time.
And then just,
I mean, I guess we're going to go ahead
spoil this movie because it's been out for a while.
The very last scene
ends it, they dump her
in a bucket with her friend, Megan,
because both of these girls go missing.
Which by this point,
Megan has already dead.
Yeah, and that was a pretty brutal scene
in and of itself when they just showed her for a split second.
Yeah, that was shocking. Yeah. Wow.
And they dump her in this bucket with
Megan, the dead Megan.
And the whole last
like 10 fucking minutes of the movie
is this guy digging a hole to put this
bucket in and covered it up.
And, uh,
uh,
what's the other girl's name?
Amy? Or is that her?
Or is that her real name? Oh yeah.
Okay. Amy.
Oh yeah. So yeah, Amy.
She's, uh, she's like just begging
and pleading and, and saying
anything that she can say to get him to
just stop and, and, and let her
live. And it goes pretty
calmly and pretty methodically at first.
And then once he gets the whole
dug and pushes the
barrel in,
she starts flipping the fuck out and screaming
and screaming and screaming. And they let you listen
to her scream and try to convince him to stop
while putting the dirt back on her.
And the whole
like everything takes so
fucking long.
in this movie.
He's covering her up with dirt and you watch the whole fucking thing.
And until her screams just become muffled into nothing.
Good Lord, man.
It is as brutal as a movie as I have ever seen.
Like, relatively,
I know this movie's been banned in a lot of countries and I completely see why.
It left a mark on me that I don't know that I don't know that.
I will ever be able to unsee, you know?
Yeah.
Hell of a horror movie.
Yeah, I agree.
When this movie first started out, you know, the banter back and forth between these
girls and like Megan's other friends, they're fucking horrible people.
They really are.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Bad ass fucking kids.
All of them.
The guys.
Oh, gosh, don't get me started on the guy throwing the party who gets on Skype and he's all
like, what up, ma?
what y'all bitch is doing and all
like he could have been
partying with the guy from
house of wax
the bless me dog
yeah
just
I totally
I also totally dismissed the whole beginning
of this movie it was just
I almost tapped out
but then when we did
it was all set up but it was really real
sure and then when we got into
the abduction of Megan
then it started to draw me in.
It did lose me a little bit with the news reporting
because some of it was kind of hokey
when they tried to do the reenactment.
See, but I legit thought that that was real
when they were doing that.
I thought that they were showing me real footage
that maybe had come out and I'm like,
who is this Megan? Why do I not remember this?
Right. Yeah, it sounds almost too real.
Yeah, the way
The way it was done was, I don't know, it just kind of, it didn't hit me right.
But the way everybody was acting, though, as like outside of that, because Megan, Megan is not a good girl.
Megan does not have a good relationship with her mother.
I'm assuming she's not a good student.
But when she comes up missing and everybody's looking for her, she is, like, the number one student in high school.
Like, everybody loves her.
her mom is like, yeah, like,
because she goes to meet this guy that she meets on the
internet, but when you
watch the reenactment, she goes to buy groceries
for her mother. That's how the
reenactment is, and it's just totally,
I see how, you know, how they
flip stuff around, and we'll get to that
in searching. Is it? I missed that part.
Yeah. It's kind of like that
older movie, Heather's, where the kids that
committed suicide, all of a sudden they became like
class heroes and stuff like that. Yeah.
Yes, yes. Everybody wants
to be fucking famous. Right. Yeah.
And then like you said, Philip, when you get to the last, they tell you it's 22 minutes.
And the whole end of the movie is just the 22 minutes of the footage found.
And it is brutal.
Man.
Because he's got, because you never really see what happens to Amy until you get that quick glimpse that she's in the barrel.
It's mostly what's being done to Amy.
She's locked up in a dark room, chained up.
She has to eat from a dog bowl with, she can't use her hands.
just put her hands behind her back and eat like that.
And the rape scene was very, very uncomfortable.
And Amy is the good girl.
She's like your fucking daughter.
You know what I mean?
That's part of what makes it difficult to watch.
Effective it sounds like.
Yeah, if she's not your daughter, she's who you want your daughter to be friends with.
Yeah.
And it did kind of draw out that whole, whole digging.
scene, but it still got to me
because the way she's pleading.
I mean, she's telling this guy, like,
basically, I love
you, I love you, like, no one, you know,
whatever she can say.
Yeah. And,
and like Philip said,
you know, it just, her voice just
slowly gets muffled out from the dirt.
And that's it.
It, it's brutal.
And it ends, it ends
on the downer.
And, wow.
Yep. For a movie that
almost had me tapped out. It pulled me
right back in. Yeah. And that rape scene is
fucking, dude, she's like screaming
at the beginning.
And that's another one of those scenes that
takes fucking forever to get through. Holy shit. They ran this one
a little too long. Like, I wonder if that's
fast forward. It had to at least
went five minutes, maybe longer.
Yeah. Like, until
it took him to finish, I guess.
Yeah, and it's just, the camera's
shot is just of her face.
Like he bends her over something and he puts the camera down and it's just her face.
And it's just the way,
the way she acts out this scene is just like,
you think it's really happening.
Yeah.
God.
Because it's a real reaction.
She's like screaming at the beginning and just,
you know,
obviously terrified.
And it's the worst possible thing that could be happening.
And she's just screaming and screaming and screaming until she just,
goes numb and limp
and it almost
looks like she's dead
she's just catatonic
laying on the thing
and he's still going
it's rough
this is a
serious fucking movie man
yeah I think we're ready for scores
because I don't think
there's anything that needs to be
more sad about this movie
well we got a theme going this week
talking about Serbian film
and then this and I know right
this is not the most
Lighthearted snow we've done.
Wow, who knew?
Well, I can't come up with too many jokes for this one.
Okay, well, but you know what?
You guys kind of have me intrigued, intrigued to check this one out.
I mean, it's sound like it's very well done, very effective at what they're trying to put forth, that's for sure.
It is.
It's very effective, and which complicates the scoring, I think.
Well, because...
What I was wondering about.
I'm going to give it an eight.
I think this is going to be one of those.
I mean, it looks like a fucking snuff film, man.
It's difficult to watch.
But I think it's going to be one of those like really, really cult classic movies.
And I've never even fucking heard of it before.
Nobody talks about this movie.
Right.
But I think it is on the same.
level of some of those really
classic, just
real death movies.
It's hard to watch,
but it's really well done.
Not something you want to pop into the old VCR
when the grandparents are in town, huh?
No, no, no.
I watched it with my wife, though.
I mean, she's a C.J. Major,
she's into that shit, yeah.
So she actually could handle it?
Uh, yeah.
But, I mean, it was pretty rough for her, too.
Wow.
Oh, this is hard.
I'm going to go seven.
Damn, not bad.
Not really.
I take a little bit off just for that.
The setup just kind of, like I said, it almost lost me.
It was the banter back and forth.
It was just like teenage girl shit that I just kind of like, I don't want to hear this shit.
Oh, my God, slut.
I can't believe you.
You know what?
That's what our kids are really doing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We'll be fooling here.
Yeah.
To be fair, though, I mean, I don't...
I think they mismanaged the age on this one.
Maybe they...
Could be.
Yeah.
Maybe they moved it a little lower just to make more of an impact.
Yes.
Yeah.
But hopefully, this is not what 14-year-old girls are doing.
Yeah.
Like I said
It almost took me out
Especially the whole
House party scene
Yeah
It was just
Like there was some shit going on
In that party that I was just like
I don't want to watch this
Yeah
Because you know there's there's
The dudes that were at the party
Were assholes
You know
One of them actually slaps Amy in the face
Because she doesn't want to give it up to him
Now that dude was obviously not 14
Yeah
He looked like he was
28. Yeah. And
at that point, I was just
like, I don't want to watch this, but I hung
in there. And then when we got to the last half,
it was, it was well,
well shot because it
looks realistic.
Even that, when that photo pops up,
remember the photo? Yes. She's got
some kind of contraption in her mouth. She's in,
what do you call it the thing?
What do you call the thing?
Like a jigsaw type thing? Or what?
No, no. Go ahead.
So she's in like these, like you remember the stockades from like the medieval times and shit, you know, where you get your head in and your hands in.
There's one of the new Bud Light commercial where the guys said, Dilly, Dilly, Dilly, and some dudes are knocking him.
He said, Bud Light's for everybody. He said, I don't want a Bud Light. I want a fruity drink. And he ends up in the stockade.
All right. Sorry I had to light it up a little bit.
I can't complain about that one.
so this is like the stockades but set upright like a table
and and and and and which is the thing that she gets bent over
uh but megan um they they release a couple of pictures of her
and she's stuck in the stockades with this like fucking
face piece that has her mouth spread the fuck open
and uh i think her eyes open i'm not yeah yeah
I think it was like forcing her eyes open.
It was like, God.
Yeah, dude, it was like clockwork orange style torture.
Yeah, it's like one of those.
Go ahead.
I was going to say, it's like when you watch the news and they say what you're about to see is graphic in nature.
And then it just flashes and you're just like, oh, wow.
Because it looked like an actual like photo of something being done to some little girl.
And it was, wow.
Yeah, and the way they present it, again, I think I was, I was maybe in the process of going,
is this real or is this not?
When they flash that photo up there, because I was like, if this is real, I don't think they'd be showing this.
But that's the only clue that they gave me that it wasn't a real fucking case with a real person.
Yeah, that and then, like I said, you get, you don't ever really see.
anything but that and then her
a quick glimpse of her body in the barrel
and that was shocking too
just the way
I would have to say the makeup
the practical makeup effects that was done to Megan's
if that was her
I don't know if it was her or if it was like some kind
of prosthetic
dummy or something yeah but
it looked it looked disturbing
and for him to put
another girl that's alive
and lock her up in the same barrel
yeah that was crazy
Yeah, it was a lot like the girl from the ring at the very beginning of it.
Mm-hmm.
When she gets all scared shitless and they finally show her and she like falls over.
Okay.
Yeah, it looked a lot like that.
It was, it was creepy-looking.
So, yeah, with all that being said, I give it a strong seven.
Yeah, I think a lot of the listeners are probably interested to check this out now.
I mean, it sounds really effective, man.
Not a Saturday night movie with your buddies, but if you're in the mood to watch something really fucking disturbing, this is it.
Let's see if a niche pulls it off here.
This film took just 13 days to shoot.
However, it took two years to create it due to the prep time editing and animations.
Oh, that makes sense.
Let's see.
Like the movie Unfriended, the movie takes place on a mockery.
computer screen, it actually has a small
nod to the movie.
Blinking You Miss It type thing, did in the very
first Facebook scene the name
Laura Burns comes up, which
is a character name for the movie Unfriended.
The first one, I assume.
Anyway,
that's your trivia.
I guess it was kind of the biggest,
was it the biggest movie
that came out this week, Brian?
I think so. I think
really? If I remember
looking at the box
office. I think
previous movies that have been out is kind of in the
top three. So I think this
is the newest. So was it
worthy of its top
performance?
I don't know if it was in the top three.
I was just saying
other movies.
For me,
I will just have to say
every time I see John Cho in a movie,
I think he's becoming a better actor.
Yeah.
Because previously,
what was he on the Exorcist season two?
I thought he was fantastic.
Oh, yeah.
I love him on Star Trek.
And I just think every time I see him, he's improving.
And he's starting to become one of them actors when I hear John Chosen.
And I'm like, okay, I'll definitely check it out.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is, these type of movies scare me because I have daughters.
I have daughters that like to go on social media
and it kind of hit me in a certain way.
And I think this movie, I really enjoyed this movie.
There was some twisty tourneys at the end, which I kind of didn't see coming.
And some other, some, I'm trying not spoil it.
I know, it's hard.
Yeah, there was some things that happened that I was like, please.
please don't let that be the person that did it.
Yeah.
And then it went another way and I was just kind of like, what?
But I think overall, this is what
unfriended tried to do with this whole, you know,
kind of look to the movie with the internet and, you know,
the Skype and all that kind of stuff.
I think this is done right.
Yeah.
Unfriended Dark Web, fuck that movie.
movie because that
this did it right and
I enjoyed it. It had me
going with the whole story from
beginning to the end and I
really enjoyed it.
Yeah, I
kind of feel the same way. I mean, this is the
scary part about the internet, you know?
Right.
It's a movie that's done
completely through the internet
and it's
got a very unfriended
vibe to it.
But so did
Megan is missing, you know?
I like this one a whole lot better than either one of those.
It's,
unfortunately, with all the twisty-turny stuff,
that's really what the movie ends up being about.
So it's got zero re-watchability.
Ah, okay.
But fun to watch the first time.
Yes.
Sounds like I'm going to have to walk away when y'all do the spoiler,
and you guys are going to have to message me.
Yeah, I think our scores are going to be based off of a one-time watch,
because it's kind of like, I'm going to use the Sixth Sense as an example.
Oh, yeah.
Because you know that, you know that it's a good movie,
but when you rewatch it, you already, you know, the big twist.
Sure.
So it's not going to hit you the same way.
Yeah, but I don't know.
I think the Sixth Sense, as long as you know the big twist,
twist coming up. Sometimes it's fun to go and watch the details of, you know, things that maybe
you didn't catch the first time. And maybe this one is the same way. I just, you know, the sixth
sense, when I watched that one, I was like, wow, that was a great fucking movie. And this one,
I'm going to, I was like, uh, you know, it was pretty good, but I have no desire to watch it again.
Okay. But I think that's really all I can say about it without spoiler. Yeah. I will say one
I will say one more thing.
Another thing I really
liked about John Cho's performance, because
I don't think there's anything he did in the movie
that I wouldn't do in his situation.
Yeah.
Because he has some...
Yeah. Internet can be brutal.
I guess that's the word. I'm brutal bruntled brine.
No shit. Right. Bruttle brine.
Yeah. When, you know,
when stuff gets going and then, you know,
the story gets out there on the internet, you know,
people can be fucking bitches
and assholes.
and just the way social media is.
And I absolutely agree with everything that he did in the movie because I can't even put my,
I can't even think of myself in that position and what I would do.
Yeah.
And I mean, there's a scene in the trailer.
I mean, they don't tell you specifically what it's about,
but where he's got like a bruise on his chin and somebody tells him that,
well, you broke his jaw.
And in that scenario,
Because they show the little found footage.
It's basically internet footage that goes viral of this dad kicking this dude's ass.
And, yeah, I totally agree with him on that one.
I've done the same thing.
A broken child would be the least that dude's worse.
Right.
Sure.
Good God.
I think, yeah, I think we can get in the scores.
Shit, I really liked it.
I'm going to go eight.
Yeah.
A lot of people are liking it.
Yeah, I think just based off
John Cho's performance and just how the story
unraveled for me
and me being a parent,
I'm going to have to go eight.
Yeah, I mean, it was
definitely a good movie. It was a fun watch.
I don't know if fun is the word for it,
but it was good. It was a good watch.
Maybe I'll watch it again
if somebody hasn't seen it
and I'm in their presence
and I'm like hey, let's watch a movie,
check this one out.
Sure.
But just because it's got so many twists and turns
and I think that that's what it relies on.
And because the whole movie
is shot from like a computer screen
or a security camera footage or whatever.
I mean, I always found footage.
Sure.
But that shit gets old.
And I'm the fan footage guy.
Yes.
I'm still going to give it a six and three quarters.
Wow.
Not bad.
Yeah.
We're going to put it into some fractions today.
Nice.
I think it was definitely better than it was not,
and I highly recommend watching it at least once.
But again,
No real rewatchability there.
Especially because of the ending.
Not that I'm mad at it.
Okay.
But, but it, well, we'll get it to it.
I got you.
All right.
So on that note, do I need to call in Slot from the Goonies, Brian, and have him go,
Time Stam.
Times Now.
So I can exit the room and let you guys spoil it.
Yeah, that's cool.
All right, just message me when you guys are done.
All right.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
Okay.
Yeah, like I said, there was nothing he did in this movie that I wouldn't have done.
Yeah.
I would be full-on
detective
in my own right
not relying on the police
because, you know,
you just, I don't know,
you just, it's your kid,
you know, you're just compelled to just do
whatever you need to do and not just have someone
just tell you, you know, go home and get some rest
and wait for a phone call. You know, that's not what you're
going to do. Well, on top of that,
I mean, he's already lost his wife.
Yes, which was sad as shit.
Yeah, he's got like this perfect,
fucking family. They all get along great.
And they lose their matriarch.
And then, you know, both of the others kind of spiral into oblivion.
But still are kind of holding up front and doing okay, man.
They're being reasonable about the whole situation, I feel like.
And, you know, as a 16-year-old girl losing your mother, I imagine that would be fucking
insane, difficult, but she's still
relatively holding it together.
And John Cho is doing the same
as a dad.
And
when she goes missing
and he feels like he doesn't
know his daughter anymore
because he starts looking into all these things
that she's done
that makes it look like a runaway
which she has no reason to do.
It's a little crazy.
and did you
when the detective first came in
and started talking
did you have a sense of suspicion
about it at all?
Not at first
but
as the movie went on
I kind of had
I was just kind of wondering
she seems really emotional
yeah
like she's on the verge of breaking down
you know
a little too into it
yeah like you can see
in her eyes, you know, constantly, like, on the verge of tears.
Yeah.
And, you know, at thinking back, like, when I, when, you know, first getting introduced
her, you're not thinking about it.
And then after the movie ends and you think back on it, you just kind of like, yeah,
there were, there was some tell signs that something was going on.
Yeah.
But there was, go ahead.
I remember when she first called him and was talking to him.
and while she's talking to him and he's given her information,
I did feel a little bit suspicious,
but he was looking up her name in the process of doing it,
and they show all this, you know,
internet search stuff while he's doing it.
Yeah.
And bringing up pictures.
And so when I found out, okay, she's definitely a cop,
and he's not just talking to some random sicko,
I kind of left it alone.
until the end of the movie.
Yeah.
Going back to some of the stuff he did,
like we brought it out,
you brought up the bruise on the chin
and him breaking someone's jaw.
That guy was a fucking dick, man.
Yeah, because your daughter is missing,
and you're talking about she's not missing.
She's here.
What did he say?
She's here wanting that D?
because I'm a pimp or some bullshit like that.
Yeah.
He posts where he's at and he just looks, oh, at the movies seven minutes ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to be right there and I'm going to beat the shit out of you also.
Absolutely.
I think it was the right movie.
It's just like I said, everything he was doing, I just couldn't get mad at nothing.
Like when he found the car.
Yeah.
And he just called up to detective, which now thinking back, you know, she was super like freaking out.
That's what my wife was talking about.
She got like, you know, it's four or five o'clock in the morning,
and she's jumping up and like scrambling like it's the end of the goddamn world
and she's trying to get out to the woods where he is.
Yeah.
And I mean, obviously it is for him because it's a lead on where his daughter may be.
But for her, it should just be a job.
Yeah.
though, you know, even though she wants to save the girl or whatever, are you going to fucking wake up at four o'clock in the morning and go drive in the middle of the woods?
Yeah.
And I just, I just love his reaction because he's just telling her, you told me she ran away.
You kept trying, you know, and he's like, no, I just found her car.
And he's just, I don't know.
I just, everything that he was doing, I'm just like, yeah, I agree with.
And then another thing that I was just like, no, don't let it be him when they led you to believe it was the brother.
Oh, yeah.
I figured that's what you're talking about.
No way.
I know, man.
I like that guy.
Yeah, he seemed he was super fucking cool.
And then when you read the messages, I'm like, oh, my gosh, you're the dirty uncle.
And then it was just weed.
Yeah.
He was just in her weed, which I'm fine.
I'm fine with that.
you know, John Cho's like, what kind of family member are you to give her weed?
Oh, yeah.
Well.
It's weed.
Obviously.
She's at this point, what, 18?
Uh, yeah.
So, almost.
She's, I think she's still 17.
I don't know.
She's about to graduate.
Yeah.
It's California.
But, yeah, especially since he thought that his brother was nailing his daughter.
And then he finds out, oh, it's just weed.
And he's like, ah, what kind of brother are you?
I'm like,
at least be grateful he didn't have his dick in her.
Yeah.
Like,
it's time to relax a little bit.
Let's focus on some real shit.
How did,
okay,
you,
I think,
you,
you,
you didn't like,
I got a feeling you didn't like the ending.
Not that I didn't like it.
I actually did like it.
It almost brought me to tears a little bit.
I get weird now that I'm a parent,
you know.
No, I'm right there with you.
It makes you think.
As soon as you leave the theater, it makes you think.
Oh, yeah.
Well, because I always think about my daughter.
And she's my pride and joy, you know, I mean.
Absolutely.
I love my son, but my daughter is, she's my little girl, you know.
Yeah.
It's different.
And to think about her in a situation like that, especially somebody telling you that, you know,
yeah, she ran away and you don't know any fucking thing about her is crazy.
And it makes me think about maybe on a deeper level just how I want to raise her, you know,
and how I want to be around her with my son, too, you know?
I mean, because he's legit right now, stuck in his room playing fucking video games.
should be doing his homework, but he's not, I promise.
And I want to go spend more time with him, you know?
Yeah.
So if anything, man, if this movie sends a message like that, I'm okay with it.
Yeah, because, I mean, you got parts of the movie with like he has no idea she hasn't been going to her piano lessons for six months.
Six months.
And he's paying $100 of lessons, I believe $100 a week.
for six months and he has no idea.
And then when he's doing his investigation,
he has no idea who to call
because he doesn't even know
who her friends are or what she does.
And, you know, it's just, it kind of just,
you're right, it just, it makes you think,
you know, spend more time with your kid, you know.
Especially in today's world of the internet.
I feel like if nothing else, this movie gives you a bigger
picture of what could happen even to somebody who's very sweet and innocent and trying to do the
right thing.
Yes, because when you really find out what happens, in the end, she was always, she's a good kid,
you know.
Yeah.
And she was a good kid to the end.
And it turns out that she wasn't trying to run away and she wasn't doing all this stuff
that the cop made it out to be.
you know even
even though they had all these little
unanswered questions when they
when they decided that she was dead
which I
I liked
I liked that they sort of brought it into it
and I was like man she's fucking dead really
and
and then I was like well what about all this other shit
I mean the movie's got to keep going right
and sure enough
sure enough it did and
they at least answered
all of those questions I think the only
the only question they didn't answer is whether she
got into whatever that music college was.
Yeah, I was kind of wanting to know if she got in.
I'm going to go ahead and say she did.
Yeah.
Especially since she's probably famous now.
Yeah.
So, yeah, overall, I think for me,
and I think also for you, you know, as fathers of, you know,
with daughters, it just, it kind of hits you in that certain,
lot. And I do agree with what you're saying. I think rewatching this movie, it will not be the same. It does not mean it's not a good movie. It just watching this movie. It just impacted me in a certain way.
Well, and like I said, I mean, it just had so many twists and turns that I feel like that that was the focal point of the movie, you know?
but
I got to say
as the father of a son also
they had that
the
the cop's kid
who was this little
sniveling whiny
bitch
I was confused
was he
I don't know
was he special needs or
I don't think so
he was just mothered too much
and was not
capable of being a fucking man.
And that's what we're missing in this world today, not to get political.
But, ladies and gentlemen, teach your goddamn kids how to stand up for what they believe in.
And look, I teach my daughter how to be tough as fucking nails.
And I definitely teach my son.
And I'm trying.
It's harder with my son, and he's older.
All right.
My daughter's not scared of shit.
She is the toughest.
fucking kid I've ever met in my life.
She's great.
And my son is amazing too,
but he is
very soft-spoken
and sometimes
he really needs to be pushed
and not just nudged, but fucking
pushed in the right direction
to be a big boy
and be fucking brave, you know?
Take that thing that you don't want to do,
that thing that you're scared.
of fucking charge it head on you know there's not enough people that do that anymore yeah i know
exactly what you're talking about my daughter my youngest daughter is eight and she is the same way
which uh our upcoming Halloween episode all our kids will be on and you'll probably hear me
repeat the same question that is asked to her because that is one of the things she is scared to
do to speak to other people which she was she she she she
wants to have a podcast of her own, but I told her, you know, you got to talk. You can't wait for
the next person to talk to you. Yeah. There's always something. Although I'm proud of him right now,
man, we're in the middle of baseball and he's the catcher, which in machine pitch for seven-year-olds
is scary as fuck. Nobody else on the team wants to do it because, I mean, they're sending
balls at you at fucking 42 miles an hour, which is way faster than a seven-year-old can throw.
And they can't catch at all at this age.
So I put him back there, man, and he'll take a ball to the shoulder.
He takes one to the chest or whatever.
And at first he was a little skittish about it.
And he was crying during the first game.
And I was like, look, you're all we've got.
I need you to get up there and do this.
you know you gotta save us there's nobody else that can do it it's it's up to you you're gonna be
the hero here and uh and he did it he he got in there and he fucking did it and uh and now he
he doesn't cry about that shit anymore he takes a shot to the shoulder and and he just he just moves
on so that's awesome yeah so he's we're getting there i'm proud of him so uh i think we spoiled
of this movie. I mean, we probably can keep
going, but
you guys just
about spoiled it out. Yeah.
We could keep going, but I think
we would just be completely
just telling every
little single part of this movie.
Well, plus for at this point, we're just talking about our own
kids. Yeah.
Wow. Yeah, the movie hits you that way,
Lance. It kind of just makes you
think of your kids and
you know, what's going on in their lives
and think about how you're going to raise them.
you know um well you know what so this week i'm definitely gonna go check out the nun while we're in vacation
a j already said she ain't joining me for that one yeah i didn't think so said she's gonna like take
a nap or something like that one day so uh but she does want to see this movie so we'll probably go
check this one out together that's when the nun will get you one day this week trying to take a nap

You didn't like it?
I wasn't like super impressed with it.
Oh.
I mean, it wasn't like uncool of the week or anything, but it was, uh, I was expected
a little bit more.
Cool of week number three, I did watch Arizona.
