Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:43 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.
Starting point is 00:01:15 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
Starting point is 00:01:34 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,
Starting point is 00:02:01 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.
Starting point is 00:02:17 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.
Starting point is 00:02:41 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.
Starting point is 00:03:00 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.
Starting point is 00:03:28 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.
Starting point is 00:03:59 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.
Starting point is 00:04:22 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.
Starting point is 00:04:38 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
Starting point is 00:05:06 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
Starting point is 00:05:23 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.
Starting point is 00:05:42 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.
Starting point is 00:05:58 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.
Starting point is 00:06:18 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.
Starting point is 00:06:35 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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
Starting point is 00:07:06 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
Starting point is 00:07:21 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.
Starting point is 00:07:38 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.
Starting point is 00:08:03 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.
Starting point is 00:08:30 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
Starting point is 00:08:47 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
Starting point is 00:09:02 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
Starting point is 00:09:22 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.
Starting point is 00:09:40 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.
Starting point is 00:09:59 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?
Starting point is 00:10:19 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.
Starting point is 00:10:37 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
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:25 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?
Starting point is 00:11:45 Brian. Oh, uh. Kids in the hall. Yeah. Was he? I don't know. Was he? I think he was.
Starting point is 00:11:55 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
Starting point is 00:12:06 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
Starting point is 00:12:23 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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
Starting point is 00:12:54 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.
Starting point is 00:13:21 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
Starting point is 00:13:35 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.
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:13 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.
Starting point is 00:14:29 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.
Starting point is 00:14:46 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.
Starting point is 00:15:01 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
Starting point is 00:15:16 Charlotte Gainsborough if I said that right and Paul Giamani this is directed by Reed Moreno not not not Moreno for Benj No
Starting point is 00:15:30 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 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
Starting point is 00:16:11 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
Starting point is 00:16:27 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
Starting point is 00:16:43 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
Starting point is 00:17:02 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.
Starting point is 00:17:26 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.
Starting point is 00:17:52 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
Starting point is 00:18:12 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
Starting point is 00:18:28 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?
Starting point is 00:19:01 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.
Starting point is 00:19:19 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.
Starting point is 00:19:32 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.
Starting point is 00:19:45 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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
Starting point is 00:20:10 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.
Starting point is 00:20:25 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.
Starting point is 00:20:47 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.
Starting point is 00:21:08 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?
Starting point is 00:21:34 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:22:02 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.
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Like Silkwood shower. Oh, wow. All right. Be Jermine. Germaine. Jermine. Fucking. Anyway, B.
Starting point is 00:22:56 says, nope. Never watching it. For someone like myself who, will watch anything that's saying something. Wow. Lisa, Lisa Cole again, she says,
Starting point is 00:23:08 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.
Starting point is 00:23:23 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
Starting point is 00:23:38 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,
Starting point is 00:24:04 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?
Starting point is 00:24:24 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.
Starting point is 00:24:41 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,
Starting point is 00:25:01 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.
Starting point is 00:25:19 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,
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:25:59 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.
Starting point is 00:26:29 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.
Starting point is 00:26:42 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.
Starting point is 00:26:59 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.
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:44 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.
Starting point is 00:28:08 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
Starting point is 00:28:31 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.
Starting point is 00:28:46 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.
Starting point is 00:29:01 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
Starting point is 00:29:16 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.
Starting point is 00:29:30 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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.
Starting point is 00:30:01 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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,
Starting point is 00:31:03 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,
Starting point is 00:31:17 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 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.
Starting point is 00:31:39 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.
Starting point is 00:32:10 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
Starting point is 00:32:41 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.
Starting point is 00:33:02 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
Starting point is 00:33:28 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
Starting point is 00:33:45 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.
Starting point is 00:34:00 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.
Starting point is 00:34:15 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,
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:34:55 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?
Starting point is 00:35:09 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
Starting point is 00:35:26 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.
Starting point is 00:35:48 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.
Starting point is 00:36:11 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
Starting point is 00:36:36 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?
Starting point is 00:36:53 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
Starting point is 00:37:07 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.
Starting point is 00:37:27 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?
Starting point is 00:37:49 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.
Starting point is 00:38:21 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
Starting point is 00:38:37 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.
Starting point is 00:38:59 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.
Starting point is 00:39:24 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.
Starting point is 00:39:45 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,
Starting point is 00:40:03 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.
Starting point is 00:40:18 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
Starting point is 00:40:39 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,
Starting point is 00:40:56 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.
Starting point is 00:41:13 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
Starting point is 00:41:28 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
Starting point is 00:41:46 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.
Starting point is 00:42:02 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.
Starting point is 00:42:30 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
Starting point is 00:42:52 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,
Starting point is 00:43:11 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.
Starting point is 00:43:31 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?
Starting point is 00:43:54 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...
Starting point is 00:44:11 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
Starting point is 00:44:25 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
Starting point is 00:44:37 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
Starting point is 00:44:50 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
Starting point is 00:45:05 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.
Starting point is 00:45:22 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
Starting point is 00:46:05 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.
Starting point is 00:46:31 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.
Starting point is 00:47:16 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
Starting point is 00:47:35 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
Starting point is 00:47:51 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.
Starting point is 00:48:21 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.
Starting point is 00:48:54 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,
Starting point is 00:49:10 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
Starting point is 00:49:25 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.
Starting point is 00:49:43 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.
Starting point is 00:50:00 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
Starting point is 00:50:26 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.
Starting point is 00:50:56 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.
Starting point is 00:51:22 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
Starting point is 00:51:40 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
Starting point is 00:51:55 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.
Starting point is 00:52:20 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.
Starting point is 00:52:44 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.
Starting point is 00:53:14 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...
Starting point is 00:53:35 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.
Starting point is 00:53:51 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.
Starting point is 00:54:18 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.
Starting point is 00:54:39 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
Starting point is 00:54:56 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
Starting point is 00:55:18 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
Starting point is 00:55:35 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.
Starting point is 00:55:59 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,
Starting point is 00:56:18 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,
Starting point is 00:56:40 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.
Starting point is 00:57:00 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
Starting point is 00:57:20 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
Starting point is 00:57:35 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.
Starting point is 00:57:54 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.
Starting point is 00:58:28 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.
Starting point is 00:58:45 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
Starting point is 00:59:01 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
Starting point is 00:59:15 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.
Starting point is 00:59:37 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.
Starting point is 01:00:02 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,
Starting point is 01:00:25 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?
Starting point is 01:00:44 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.
Starting point is 01:01:05 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.
Starting point is 01:01:31 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.
Starting point is 01:02:04 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.
Starting point is 01:02:25 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.
Starting point is 01:02:43 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.
Starting point is 01:02:55 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.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Like, it's time to relax a little bit. Let's focus on some real shit. How did, okay, you, I think, you,
Starting point is 01:03:22 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.
Starting point is 01:03:36 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.
Starting point is 01:03:58 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.
Starting point is 01:04:39 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,
Starting point is 01:05:10 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
Starting point is 01:05:33 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.
Starting point is 01:06:02 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
Starting point is 01:06:16 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
Starting point is 01:06:32 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,
Starting point is 01:06:58 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
Starting point is 01:07:36 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
Starting point is 01:07:51 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.
Starting point is 01:08:17 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,
Starting point is 01:08:33 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?
Starting point is 01:08:53 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
Starting point is 01:09:31 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.
Starting point is 01:10:16 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
Starting point is 01:10:55 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
Starting point is 01:11:11 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
