This podcast contains major plot spoilers in the foulest of land. Join us in celebrating the old and the new, the best, and the worst in horror. We've got Melissa. Hey.

We've got Brian. What's up? And Phil. Hey, I'm back. And joining us from the Wild West, the dusty plains. It's a cactus. Cactus Jay himself. What's up, Jay? Who, me?

Hey, what's going on? Hey, where's your potna? Where's your podna? Oh, who knows? I think he's rounding up his own posse right now, robbing a bank or some silly shit like that. He's on tour. He's on tour. Yeah, there it is. He's in the dusty trails with his guitar and harmonica.

All right. Well, fair enough. We appreciate you joining us. Maybe he can make it on here next year. But yep, it is that time, folks. It's our annual best of, worst of. So we're bringing you everything there is to offer for 2018, all the good stuff, all the shit. And maybe we'll uncover a few gems in the meantime.

But as always, this show is totally Brian. So I'm going to turn it over to the man of the hour. Brian, how's this thing going to go, man? Well, before we get into our list, we're going to catch up with everybody, see what everybody's cool the week is. And I think we should throw it to Mel, ladies first. Okay. My cool of the week is, I think it's everybody's cool the week right now. It should be is Birdbox on Netflix, starring Sandra Bullock.

I touched that this past weekend, and it is so good. I'm obsessed. Yeah? Yeah, I loved it. I definitely recommend it. You got to watch it. It's definitely on my list. That was actually my goal of week, too.

Yes. Yes. We're going to be covering that on Stream Queen, by the way. So everybody, make sure you watch it so that you can participate in the podcast. Nice. I haven't seen it yet, but I did buy the book today, and I've read the first chapter. It's pretty good. Oh, awesome.

What the hell is going on? But I guess that'll become more apparent as a reading. through, huh? And I've heard it's very different also, the book is, as far as what happened. So I always am a fan of that. Yeah, and I just read it's the most streamed movie within the first seven days of anything on Netflix or any original movie. Man. Nice. Yeah, I'm supposed to watch that this weekend. I had a couple of folks at work and say, have you seen this? Like, no, because we need you to explain it to us. I'm like, all right, let me watch it. that we'll circle back and see if I can get what's going on.

You're that guy, huh? I am that guy. Yeah, they've got to come to say, all right, what does this mean? Yeah, and I think it may go deeper than just what's at the surface, but that's something we can discuss on Mel's show. Yeah. Jay, you got a cooler week? I do, and it also is a Netflix movie. It is Roma. It's a story based on a made in the 70s in Mexico City. I really enjoyed this movie.

I really did. It's very, very good things. Yeah, very, very good movie. It's by Alfonso Curion or however you say his name. So it's very slow. You know, you can expect that. You know, you see his name on it and that's what you're going to get. But I had a good time with it.

I really did. So does he do any single shot like, you know, five-minute long sequences or anything? like he does in most of his other films. Oh, yeah. There's got to be like five, ten of those things in there. Oh, cool. Definitely. Yep, you got those.

Yeah, great director. Children of Men, Gravity. Those are probably a favorite two of his, but he did that I too, ma'amé also, which was like, that was a really weird movie. It's like an older lady, and she kind of goes on a road trip with these two younger, younger guys. It's kind of like a love triangle of sorts. I've seen that movie.

movie, yes. Super critically acclaimed, right? Yes. Speaking of which, I understand there's some buzz Roma may be up for best picture, even though it's... Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

Yeah? No, you guys, check it out. Very, very good. Very good. Netflix ain't fucking around, man. It's a Netflix kind of week. That was it, dude. Birdbox, yeah. It's...

I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't even really want to watch it, and people kept bringing it up to me. I sort of forgot the trailer and really what it was about. and I was like, yeah, Sandra Bullock, blindfold, whatever. And my wife wanted to watch it, and she's like, in the first 10 minutes I was hooked. And you couldn't stop watching it.

Yeah, she turned it off halfway through because there was a lot of cussing and the kids were around, which big fucking deal. Have you heard me talk? But then I went and finished watching it on my own. And, man, it was really good. It was one of those where I had to do some research into it after it was over because I was that invested in it. So it says a lot. Yeah, no doubt. Lance?

Well, I was curious if my cool of the week was the same as yours or something that came on Netflix. Wow. On Friday. Was that your cool of the week, Brian? It's one of them, yeah. I was trying to save my... All right, I've got two then. Wait, what is it?

Bander Snatch, the new Black Mirror movie. I haven't got a chance to see that, but I guarantee that probably would have been my cool of the week if I got a chance. Oh, it's a Black Mirror thing? Yes. Yeah, it's a Black Mirror thing. It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure type thing

where you use your mouse or your remote control to like one of two options of how they're going to go. Yeah. It's pretty interesting. And then, well, you guys can tell I'm recording it in the garage. I'm like, are we on the speed? Way what's happening. That are on your bike.

There's some NASCAR drivers going by right there. That's what that is. It's a trailer park, Goddammit. No, it's fucking badass. And then I don't know. That's why I message you, Brian, like, how far down the rabbit hole did you go with it? No, I'm still there. Yeah, it doesn't necessarily end with the end credits.

No. If you know what I'm saying. So. This sounds cool as shit. Fucking awesome. You should check it out. It says it's an hour and a half long, but you need to invest at least two and a half hours into it, I think. Yeah, absolutely.

Interactive movies. Interactive movies. Look at that. Fucking Black Mirror. So we got Birdbox, Roma, Bander Snatch. What are these things have in common, Mel? I know. They're all going to be talked about on Stream Queen, so it's going to be exciting.

They're coming out with the big guns. This is a good timing. It is. My other cool of the week is my Christmas present. Which, Phil, you'll get to check that out a day after tomorrow. Yeah, what did you get? Fucking, hey, I got a VR headset, an Oculus Go. Really?

Fucking amazing, dude, yeah. I got this app for it. It's called Face Your Fears. And it's like your, there's like a fear of heights, fear of spiders, fear of snakes, fear of being buried alive. basically it's like a 360 degree view yeah like the spider one is amazing like you're saying you look all around you and you're like down in a basement

and then you see this one yeah you see one tiny little spider crawling towards you and you look down it's it's almost like you feel like you can stomp it then the spiders start getting a little bigger oh god then you hear some weird shit going on upstairs it's fucking awesome

You'd hear some weird shit going on in that house because I'd be jumping up and down and screaming like a girl. I think my granddaughter videoed me so I'll see if I get him. Nice. Are you bringing that to Frightmare? You know what? That's probably not a bad idea. You can charge people to use it. And you want to do guys, do you want to do videos for the show?

What don't you do videos of people, you know, acting to whatever they're seeing? Oh my God, that was so funny. That's not bad idea. That's not a bad idea. But the cool thing is I think it's only been out for like eight months. Because previously they always had the Oculus Rift, which you had to have like a super mega computer with a lot of processing power to use it. You had to have it actually physically hooked up to it. But this Oculus Go, it connects through Wi-Fi and then you buy the apps through your cell phone.

So, yeah, it's fucking awesome. take it anywhere there's Wi-Fi. So, yeah, that's cool of the... It's been a cool week, guys.

Yeah. Nice. I'm going to talk about a new sci-fi show that I just found out it's based off of a comic book and that's a deadly class. You guys heard of this?

I saw you post something on Facebook. Yeah, it's basically a school where they take these kids like teenage, around that age and they trained them to be assassins and it's

really fucking cool and if you have the sci-fi app the show doesn't start until January but the pilots on the app and I believe if you go to sci-fi's YouTube channel the pilots on there for free also cool

deadly class huh yeah but my probably other than Band of Snash my coolest thing of the week was the release of Jordan Peel's trailer, Us. Have you guys checked? Yeah, I've seen it.

Yeah, this is this, this is already one of my anticipated movies of next year. Yeah? Yeah, because I did not know what this movie was going to be about. And I still don't, so please explain. What the fuck did I just watch? Essentially, it's having to deal with

like some kind of doppelganger, like, creatures or something. Okay. And it's got a fantastic cast. Lupita Niango, Winston Duke. A lot of people know him from Black Panther. He was in Baku. He was the

rival tribe, right? Yeah. With the guerrillas? Yes, yes, sir. And this trailer even took a song from my childhood. I got five on it. Oh, yeah. That was pretty cool.

Super creepy. I am all in on this movie, and I believe this movie comes out in March. So it is on the list, guys. Awesome. What are you going to pair it with? I have no idea. That's going to be a tough one, huh? Yeah.

But, yeah, that's my cool of week. So let's get into these lists here. All right. I think we are going to start with our. Best TV show of the year. Mel, do you want to go first? Sure. I guess I'll say Claws.

I'm going to go with Claws. Oh, nice. Oh, wow. Because our girl, Sabrina Gennarino. Yeah, I'm really anxious about season three, and I'm going to need that to happen. Yeah, when's season three supposed to come out? Like, do you have no idea?

Did the other two premiere, like, about the same time of year? Do you recall? I don't recall, because I watched it so much later. I don't know. Let's see. Let's ask Google, shall we? Okay. I'm looking at IMDB.

It says June 11th, 2017 was the series premiere. And then June 10th, 2018, season two. So it sounds like they've been pretty consistent. Maybe they'll give it to me for my birthday. My birthday's in June. So, get. So is mine. When's yours?

19th. Fourth. All right. It is my mother-in-law's birthday, too. I'm sorry. Is that okay? Is that a good thing? Oh, yeah. It's perfectly fine. I never know. Nice.

Jay. You know, I did not watch a lot of television this year. Very, very little, but one that I really enjoyed is the good place. It's a sitcom, and I have no idea what channel it's on. I just recorded and watch it. Have you guys heard about this? It's where, yeah, Ted Dance, and I can't give away too much.

So it's basically these four people die. They go into the good place, which is heaven. And the main character, she's not supposed to be there. Kristen Bell? Yes. Yes. Yes. So find out she's not supposed to be there.

And she's kind of react to everybody, you know, where she's supposed to go to the bad place, hell, but she's ended up in heaven and all that. And then all kinds of crazy shit ensues. It's in season three right now, I believe. But I'm really enjoying, man. I'm laughing my ass off on this thing. And it goes from season one, season two, season three, right?

And it's different. I mean, you figure out you can't get that much different stories. You know, hey, I'm supposed to be not supposed to be here. I'm supposed to be there. But each season is a little bit different. So it's really good where it is right now. And I don't want to give too much in case you guys want to get into it. But check it out.

Cool. Definitely good. Yeah, I've seen the first season in a little bit of that. And I had a blast watching it. I just kind of lost track. Nice. A lot of good things about it. Billet, what's yours?

I think I'm going to go with The Haunting of Hill House. I mean, I don't know how TV it is, but, you know, Netflix TV series. I thought it was great, man. I was just really pleasantly surprised. with it. I wasn't expecting a whole lot. And, uh, and it, it just, it really amazed me. I loved it. I, I was glued to it for two weeks. Nice. Lance, I think you and me are also on the same page here. Well, yeah, I mean, there was a couple of, there was a couple of, it was tough for me. I mean, it, for me, it kind of, it took me a long time to, to, to, to land on this one.

Um, because there were a couple of like the Handmaid's Tale, when it was running, I was like, this is absolutely the best show on TV while I was watching it. And then, you know, the same thing with a preacher. Like, as I was watching it, I'm like, nothing can top this. But guys... I forgot about preacher.

That was good. Yeah, but the one that I was shitting all over, Brian, when you guys talked about it coming out, what show was that? The Haunting of Hill House. The Haunting of Hill House. Oh, yeah. It's number one, too.

There you go. What more can you say? about it? Well, that's my number one also, is the Hunting of Hill House. Yeah. The acting was fantastic on there. And it just, and also my wife, I brought it up before,

my wife does not watch anything remotely close to that kind of genre. And we binge the whole season within like two or three days. Yes, same here. Same scenario. And then we're still some legit, scary scenes in there. Yeah. And I want to watch it again because there's so many things going on in the background that you probably miss the first time around. Another Netflix thing.

Yeah, I definitely got to get on that. Yeah, real quick shout out to my runner up is probably, it probably should have been my number one, but it wasn't. It was Cobra Kai. Oh. Oh, I didn't think about that. Completely forgot about that. It was pretty amazing. That was great.

I loved that show. Another one I was shitting all over before I saw it. Yeah. All right, let's move into our best non-horror movie of the year. Let's see. Lance, you go with this one first. Okay, for me, that's going to be a little Russian spy movie that came out, kind of early part of the year, called Red Sparrow.

Oh, wow. Oh. I don't know what I was expecting with it, but it fucking delivered. Great acting, lots of action, lots of intrigue, and the plot twists all actually made sense. So that would be it for me. Are we doing worst non-genre also? Yeah, we'll do it after everybody goes.

Are we doing top five, or are you just doing one non-horner? Yeah. Well, yeah, just one for the non-horror. Oh, okay. I'm going to have an honorable mention. I had like five. I had like top five. Oh, give it to us, Jack.

Oh, was you done, Lance? I didn't have to be. Yeah, yeah, that's it. First of all, I just want to say, Red Sparrow, the only thing that delivered for me was I needed a nap. Good. Oh, wow. That almost made my bottom. It really did.

I did not like that movie at all. And I wanted to, and I hyped it up, and I got a friend to go see it with me. He said, oh, you're going to love it. You're going to this. And this person didn't really know who Black Widow was from Avengers. And I was trying to explain. I said, that's the best. I can tell you what it's going to be.

But, oh, my God, that was so disappointed. Oh, no. I was disappointed on that. That's surprising. Yeah, tell me about it. Man, so many shit surprised me this year. Like, I really thought I was going to like this. and my number one, and I'll get to it in a minute, for my non-horror, it's completely shocked me.

I had no idea I was going to like this movie. Let me get into it. Number five is a Netflix movie, Mowgli. I really, really loved it. I loved it. All right. Loved it. Now, my brother-in-law came over with his wife, and I started talking to them about the Jungle Book,

and I was like, oh, is this a sequel for that or whatever? And they looked at me like I was stupid. Like they had no idea what I was talking about. Disney, okay, so this is my first experience, the jungle book, right? Mowgli's based on the jungle book. It's my first experience. And I think I was in high school, right before high school, when I learned that all the Disney movies are just super sugar-coded, whatever.

It's so far off from the original story. So Mowgli sticks a lot. to the book. I mean, it's not exact. But it's so, so different. Like, Blue is not a singing happy bear. He's actually more like a drill sergeant who teaches Mowgli how to speak and how to survive in the jungle. That's his role. And he's with the wolves and all that shit. But it's basically a different version of the jungle book. It is, but it sticks. And I say books because it's a bunch of short stories. I discover the book in like some old chest or some shit like that. The belong to my grandfather or grandmother or something.

And I was reading, I was like, ooh, Jungle Book, you know, and I knew the cartoon and all that. And I'm reading, I'm like, oh, my God, this is so different. It's dark. It's a lot darker than, you know, all the Happy Go, Disney and all that. So, like, in the book, now everybody's, everybody knows Lion King and they know how Mufasa died and all that shit, right? Well, that's actually, and in the book, that's how Shir Khan dies. That's sheer Khan's death in the book. Yeah, so that's completely taken out of Jungle Book.

book. So it's, it's really good, guys. It's the, the, the CGI isn't the best when it comes, it's really good for the animals, but it's not, you know, Disney does a much better job when they did the actual jungle book, and I'm sure Lion King's come up and all that, but it's, it's not too bad. Not too bad. Number four for me was Cree Two. I'd love Cree Two. Oh, yes. Yes, that was such a good movie. That was such, that was definitely left up to the hype of the, um, of the first one. And I think they took it a, step further. I actually liked it a little bit better than the first one. I agree.

Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. Number three for me, and I left this off the horror sci-fi, but I think it could slide in the horror. It's bad times at the El Royale. I had a great time at the El Royale. I fucking love this movie. It's a good thriller.

What's her name? Don Johnson's daughter? Dakota, yeah. I didn't know because her mother can't act for shit right so her name will come up later tonight yeah

I bet I know she is too and I heard bad things about that as well but I thought she did I thought she did a wonderful job it's funny because we're watching the trailer for that

my daughters and I and the guy who plays Thor right when he first shows up I thought he was Chris Pine I'm like is that Chris Pine and should have play it in slow mo just to see No, that's not Chris Pine, that's What's his nuts?

I forget his name. What's funny as they... And what's funny is they play father and son in Star Trek. Isn't that crazy? Yes. And they're supposed to again. Chris Pine could have totally pulled that off too, by the way. He could have.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, there was a... Do you ever see a Netflix movie called Stretch? Yeah. Yeah, with a Stretch limo, sure. Yeah, remember? He was like the crazy. client. I was like, that's who I thought he was playing again. So, yeah, I had a good time with that.

Number two is Buster Scruggs, the Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix. Another Netflix. Yeah, great, great time. You know, Ethan and Joel Cohen and all that. And, and we're going to get a little bit more into that on the next saddle up you guys will be hearing in about a week or so. Now, my number one movie, I do not like these characters. I never liked them as a kid. I just, I, I didn't care about anything. And somehow, I don't know how I ended up at the movie and I watched this, but I absolutely fell in love with this movie. And it is my number one movie for the entire year, Christopher Robin. Really? Dude, I still haven't watched it.

I'm telling you, it's not, that is not me. When I say I was surprised, like I did not like Red Sparrow. I cannot believe how much I love this movie. I was completely sure. I didn't even want to go. I'm like, dude, I don't like, Winnie the Pooh can't. That is not what I thought you were going to say.

Exactly. Exactly. But it's my number one, man. I'm telling you, I don't know if it's just, you know, just my state of mind this year or whatever, but something about that movie fucking clicked in my brain. And I bought it on Blu-ray, you know, when it came out and I haven't watched it yet. I don't know why. I'm just waiting to watch it again later.

But for some reason, guys, I don't know. Just fucking. It clicked for me. It's a completely safe movie. You're right. You know, characters are in danger of nothing. You know nothing bad's going to happen. And it's just like one of those old, happy, G-rated, you know, everything is going to go great for, you know, there's going to be some little bit of things that are going to happen.

But you know, everything's going to turn out for the best. But fuck, I love that movie. God. I'm still baffed by it, so. Yeah. Nas had good things to say about it, too, when he was on the show. I certainly want to watch it. Yeah, he made me by the Blu-ray, but I haven't watched it. yet because he said it was kind of

a little bit depressing. What? It is actually a little bit depressing. It really is. Aw. Numa Gregory is. It looks like one of those that's going to hit you in the fields. It is.

But not as bad as you think. You know, it's not a downer. There's just parts in it that you're just like, oh, it's heartbreaking. But you know, it's, you know, everything's going to get. I'm not going to spoil anything, but you know everything's going to turn out well at the end. And, you know, it's fucking Winnie the Pooh.

Come on. All right. Mel. Okay. I have more than one as well. So my, I had top three. So my third one is a simple favor. It has Blake lively and Anna Kendrick in it.

I don't know if you guys have seen it, but it's kind of got a thriller-esque, like, aspect to it. I read the book also, which was also phenomenal. But they have two completely different endings. And I couldn't believe how good this movie was, you guys. It was incredible. Blake Lively is a bad ass in this movie. And she's hot. So you just have to watch it.

My second one is I Feel Pretty with Amy Schumer. I loved the message. It's so funny. It's really cute. It's funny. It's a feel good movie. It's definitely a girl power movie. So get your wives to watch it.

They'll love it. They haven't already seen it. It's phenomenal. And then my number one is a star is born because of a young man by the name of Bradley Cooper. I need his album to come out yesterday because I don't know if you guys knew, but he did like, I mean, he did all of the like the music as far as his singing and playing and everything in it. He is so fucking great. Like, like sign this man up for a country music. career right now, right this very second.

I will buy all your albums. Take all of my money, please, and thank you. You take some other stuff. You're interested. I'm just putting that out there, Bradley Cooper. It's realistic. But, no, it was a really good movie. Lady Gaga killed it.

She freaking killed it. The story, I mean, obviously it's been done before, but I loved Bradley Cooper's take on this. Also, I love Bradley Cooper, if I didn't mention that before. Yeah, just all. all around awesome movie. Nice. I think we got a sneak peek into someone's hall pass.

One of the top five hall passes. Oh, yeah. I don't even think about that. It's supposed to be horror hall passes. So if this was like all-inclusive hall pass, yes, sir. Number one right there. He's been in a horror movie. Well, that's true, I guess.

I'm thinking about that. 18. Yeah. 18? It was a horror, all right? he did some Clive Barker movie like back in the day Oh no shit?

Yeah, I think I've seen it on Netflix A Hellraiser movie or something? It might have been like one of the 10,000 sequels Baby Cooper Hellraiser 37 The Raising of Hell Philip Yeah, can I go?

Because I'm going to pick up right where she left off I sort of have two I'm going to go with like a legit kick-ass movie, which becomes my honorable mention and a star is born. Because, yeah, it was really great. It ends with such a kick in the nuts, man.

Yeah, it does. The lights come on in the theater, and I'm like, man, I can't get up. I haven't seen it yet. I've got to go see this movie. Yeah. No, it's, and I'm not going to tell you whether it was a good or a bad kick in the nuts, but it's there. Yeah, is there a good kick in the nuts?

Well, I'm just saying, you know, it gets you some. I'm going to have to defer to you guys on that one. I don't know. Yeah, I'm trying to weasel my way out of that. I can't. No, it was a great movie. Very, very real. from start to finish.

Acting was incredible. Lady Gaga killed it. Bradley Cooper killed it, and it was mainly them too for the whole movie. I can't say enough good things about it. I think it should be nominated for Best Picture 100%.

Yeah. My other number one, my real number one, just because I had a really good time. Although this one had kind of a kick in the nuts, too. Avengers Infinity War. Ah, okay.

It was just a... Crossovers here on different list, I'm afraid. Yeah, I think so. Well, you know, I didn't want to lump this one into horror, and I thought it was... I mean, superheroes could be in their own class at this point, but... True.

And that one is fucking incredible. That may be one of the best superhero movies I've seen since, you know, Logan and Deadpool. Hmm. Nice. Nice. Yeah. That was your number one?

That was my number one. All right. I got two honorable mentions. Jay, you already mentioned Creed 2. Yes, sir. Fantastic movie. Another one that just, it had my entire childhood all into one movie, and that was Ready Player 1.

Oh, nice. Fantastic movies. Okay. But my number one, I did not, strangely enough, might surprise everybody. I did not include no superhero movies in my top 10 list. Okay, I broke the rules then. I'm not going to redo my list at this point, but I'm going to show me off. I hope smash the rules then.

My number one is Avengers Infinity War. Yes, okay. Nice. Fantastic. It gave me everything I wanted. And I think this movie gave me kind of a kick in the nuts and not a good way. so because when when this movie ended and I've never been in a movie that was this big of a blockbuster that when the lights came on everybody was just kind of quiet and didn't know what

you or say or man I need to see this movie you haven't seen a bitch you haven't seen it hold on in the impert right now get off this phone call and go watch it it's on netflix sorry to interrupt but I got to I got to take umbrage with with that Brian, what about the Empire Strikes Back? I didn't see that in the theater when I was a kid. Oh, okay. All right, fair enough. I did.

Yeah, but even the Empire had a scene that was a little lighthearted towards the end, you know? Yeah, you still had about 20 minutes after real. This one was just like, nope, sucks for you. Everybody's dead. Yeah. Spoiler alert. All right. So let's move on to our worst non-horror movie.

I'm going to go because I only have one. Did Lance get yours? Yeah, we're ready to move on. Yeah, mine was your favorite movie, Red Sparrow, remember? Yeah, that's right. Piece of shit. My worst non-hoa. Oceans 8. Oh.

This movie was the biggest That's not that bad. I'm a favorite. That was my number one worst. Come on. It was really fucking bad, guys. It wasn't that bad. It was that bad.

It's horrible. It's pointless. It was completely pointless. I know girl power and all that, but come on. That movie was. And you know what? Make a different fucking movie. I love the cast.

Yeah. But. I didn't get that same feel when I watched the other Ocean movie. It's like when they did when they did the heist, I was like, wow, that's how they pulled it off. This one I was like, nah. Right. It was no bird box, huh? No.

Yeah. The one thing I got out of Oceans 8 was you're his sister. I get it. Stop minding us every 10 fucking minutes. Say it once and move on. Good God. I love Sam. I love Samperely.

I love Sanchi and everything she does, but this movie was shit. Yeah. Let's see. Well, Jay, you continue on with your worst non-horre movie. Oh, okay. Well, shit, that was number one. I had my five. I just felt like 30 movies this year.

I know that's, at first I was like, man, that's a lot that I'm thinking about. So I'm trying to put the list. I'm like, man, I don't have enough for everything. Yeah, I don't have that problem, too. The bottom, it wasn't really a bad. movie. I just, I, I, I expected so much because the original is my favorite Pixar movie of all time. And I was just so disappointed with it. And that's Incredibles too. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, no, it's not a bad, it's not a bad movie. It's just, I had such

high expectations because when you look at Toy Story, right, Toy Story, great movie, two, even better movie, three, even better. It's like, fuck, they just, like Captain America's. They just keep getting better and better and better. I really wanted this to be, to be great. And it just, it disappointed. Again, because it's a Pixar, it's, it's low for Pixar, but it's high for

everybody else. So that was kind of the bottom. Number four, Bohemian Rhapsody. The music was great. The last, what, 20 minutes was fucking fabulous, but I was and I think there was two directors in there in this movie, like one got fired

or some shit. Brian Singer, right? Brian Singer was the director, and you can tell. I mean, it was like rushed and pieced together horribly for like the first half of the movie. And it just, I mean, it wasn't a bad movie, but like I said, I didn't see that much. And I put together my, my top five worst and not worst. Number three, I really wanted, and this is more like Incredibles, too. I heard so many good things about this. and I thought I was going to get so much more.

It's, uh, would you be my neighbor? Um, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I thought it was just such a boring, absolutely boring documentary. I thought I was going to get so much, because everybody gave it so much praise. And I was just so disappointed with it. Um, number two, Red Sparrow before mentioned and,

and, yeah, yeah, and deservingly so. And number one, Brian and I are on fucking par, Ocean's eight. How she

Negative All right All right You tell us why Oceans 8 Is your number one Worst non-horror movie of the year

Excuse me No My number one Worst Non-horror movie is The Ballad of Buster Scrugs Oh no What?

Really? God, I can't I took like at least five Like little mini micro-naps And that It was so bad. It was so bad. I'm going to save my official commentary for the next show, so stay tuned for that.

But there are a lot of things that I would rather do than watch that movie ever again, and I will tell me about those things. So stay tuned. Wow. Five things you would rather do than watch Buster Scrubs. I can't wait. I can do that. All right.

Phil? So I'm going to go I have an honorable mention on this one. 50 shades freed to go back with Dakota Johnson. You watched it? Yeah, I'll be going to say, why did you watch that? That's on you.

That's on you. You need to put that in the top fine because that's on you. And I was like dragged to it. I feel like you got what you asked for. We'd already seen the first two, and I really didn't want to watch this one because we'd already seen the first two. They're awful. Well, there's three?

This was worse. Yeah, yeah, there's three. This was bad. This was really fucking bad. This was the worst out of all of them, which says a lot, because the first one was not good. But my number one worst non-horror,

which was such a fucking disappointment because I love this director. That was me accidentally hitting my desk. The 15-17 to Paris. Oh, that was terrible. I heard a lot of terrible. That was so bad. He went with using the actual people that were in the event to put them into the movie.

But they had no acting background. I mean, these are military guys. And listen, if I put a bunch of my army buddies in the movie, they'd probably stink it up too. You never know. But it's Clint Eastwood's job to get them to get a better performance. and that was it was trash. It looked like a

it would be bad if it was a Hallmark movie. This was terrible. Hopefully he doesn't make that same mistake. I watched about 24 Hallmark Christmas movies this time. You really have. But it's like 150.

Oh, that's the best line in the night. Some of these movies that you post about it, I'm like, how the fuck why why is he watching this who hurt you lance all right lance uh go ahead uh your your hero the great and revered tyler perry did a movie that came out this year called acrimony that was uh as nez would say trash wait wait wait wait wait wait my hero hold on Lance hold on how long love the media movies Brian

No. No. How long have you been doing Hort Returns? What? You're on two years now, going on two years now? Have you not learned?

Stay away from the Medea movies. Again, just like Brian watching 50 Shades of Part 3. This one's on you. It's on you. Okay. Fair enough. Really bad.

Really bad. I don't even want to talk about it anymore. Next. All right. This category is more for me and Lance and Philip, it's we do a lot, we pair a lot of older movies with, uh,

with the newer movies we watch. So, uh, we're going to do our favorite and least favorite. We're going to start with our favorite. And I'm going to go first, uh, uh, our entire New Zealand horror episode. Is my favorite. I was throwing nines and tens out left and right. You were. So, yeah,

definitely my favorite. Lance. Very nice. For me, it's Raiders of the Lost Ark, the great classic 9.75 score Raiders of the Lost Dark. Nope. Ding, ding, ding. Yeah, that was mine too. We did a lot of really good retro movies this year, and it was hard to pick, but, I mean, Raiders of the Lost Ark, how can I not go with that? And I'm going to go out on a limb, but I think we're all in a grand sum. what was our worst. Yeah, probably.

Lance. What was it? Yes. Two, Jennifer. Maybe the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Possibly. And you know what? I hate, I really, when I say movies is trash or garbage, I really do feel bad because

I'm not making movies, but when I say that movie is garbage, I don't feel bad at all. Not one big. You guys ever seen this one? No. No. Okay. Keep it that way. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, this is not even a go-watch it to see how bad it is. It was the biggest chore to get through it. It's on Amazon Prime. Is it? Yeah. So, well, never mind.

You know what? Lance brought this question up to me, and if you guys don't mind, can I throw mine in? Oh, sure. If you have one. This was actually the easiest answer I've ever done. number one movie for me Lance at a 9.75 out of 10 not even close

This is the only movie that is a 12 out of fucking 10 Greatest movie ever made is Writers of the Lost Art, my favorite movie of all time Number one worst I think I've tried to watch us three times And I still not have finished And it is the original Suspuria

God! That is the first piece of shit Come on, man No, no, it is Lance It's up there with Oceans 8 Wow. Yeah. I can't.

Oceans 8 hate. I can't. Oceans 8 hate. Oh, no. It's a scary. I don't think I still haven't finished the movie. Three times because my daughter was wanted to watch. I was like, why do you want to watch this?

Oh, my friend told me. And then we tried like three different nights when we're doing the whole Halloween thing. But no. No. Easy answer. Easy answer. You heard it here. You heard it here first, folks.

Let the hate mail start pouring in. Yeah. You got to be in the right mindset. to watch that movie, man. It's not for everybody. Yeah, I think concussion is probably the right mindset, but yeah. All right. You guys want to get into our final two, yeah, actually final three lists.

Let's start with our worst horror movies of the year. Jay, you want to go? Yeah, I had this as a horror slash sci-fi, so I do have a lot of, it's intermixed with horror and sci-fi. I'll kick it off. My number 10 is the nun. One of my most disappointing movies. Yes.

I remember that show. Lance, this movie was not good. You can't say that you would... Yeah, I didn't say it was good. I don't think it's bottom 10. I mean, I probably watched over 300 movies this year. It ain't in the bottom 10. It is for me because I definitely enjoy...

the Conjuring movies. Right. I felt like they corrected what was wrong with Annabelle. And so I went in, this was one of my anticipated movies for this year, and I was fucking bored

out of my mind, and I wanted it. Nothing, you know, nothing happened in this movie. It was not scary. You barely saw the nun. And the only thing I, spoilers,

anybody who hasn't seen it, the only thing was cool was the connection at the end to the original tundering movie. That's it. You can spoil a shit out of it. I'm not going to watch.

You're saying the Nun 2 is probably going to be good if it follows the pattern then. Is there a Nun 2? I don't think there should. I mean, there's probably going to. This movie made shitload of money. I fucking hope not. That's my number 10, Phillip. My number 10 is the Meg.

Oh, out. Which may end up on some top 10 lists. I don't know, man. But it was, this same thing, man. Like, I can see where people kind of liked it. But nobody fucking died. It was such a disdement, man. If they had put this as a rated R movie and just brought giant shark annihilation to the world,

then everybody would have been happy. I think wasn't it originally a rated R, but then it got, I think the director was like, fuck this movie because the studio came in and cut it and made it a PG-13. Yeah, I think that's what happened. I heard Jason Statham wasn't real happy with it either. Well, that makes sense. It wasn't good. All right, Lance.

Are we doing this? I've got two dishonorable mentions. Are we doing that? Yeah, run through those. All right. My dishonorable mentions would be rampage. Because I expected so much more. nothing to do with the video game and the villains were ridiculous.

And also a wrinkle in time. As much as I fucking loved the book when I was growing up, the fucking movie had nothing to do with the book. It was terrible. It was bad, wasn't it? Oh, it was very bad. Yeah, I watched it and I can't even remember what happened. It's on Netflix, right?

Yeah, I think so. Who cares? I'm going to. I passed it every time I see it. It didn't even look interesting. name. Okay. My number nine is

the creditor. Oh, wait, he's good. That was your honorable mention. I'm sorry. I got number two. This is going to piss Philip off because he loved it.

But the happy time murders. I can see that. I can see it. I understand. It's not. But it was a fun time. Just from the one scene.

Is that silly string? Yeah. I was fucking hilarious. All right. My number nine is... I was also super stoned when I saw that movie. Yeah. Yeah, it probably did.

I had my son with me, so I couldn't. My number nine is probably the biggest garbage sequel that came out this year, and that's the Predator. Oh, nice. That's on a lot of bottom ten lists this year. Yeah. Well, that's my number nine also. You're actually...

You guys are very, for it to be so high up there at nine, shit, you guys are better people than I am. Oh, wait, wait until you get to my top five. Oh, shit.

I could not bump none of those out. Lance, that's Phillips, same thing. What's yours? My number nine? Yeah. I never thought I could hate a Star Wars movie.

Oh, I saw this atrocity called. solo. Man, he's it's not that bad. He's the mysterious character. You don't want to know his past. You don't want to have it all fucking spelled out for you like you're in kindergarten. No,

I don't even think, I don't think I know his past. It's just like, this is how we met, Chouie. Move on. That's it. Yeah. You didn't get that much. You didn't, yeah. It's not like he was, he had fucking bacteria in his fucking

blood and that's how he became knows how to fly a ship or something silly like that. There wasn't that much to it. Okay, I didn't need solo. That was my number nine. There you go. All right. My number eight is a

Netflix movie that came out this year and it was advertised as the scariest movie since the exorcist. They all are. And this was I believe a Spanish movie called Veronica.

Ah, I haven't seen that one yet. And you don't need to, Lance, because nothing happens. That bad? Not one bit. Philip, I think you've seen this, too? Yeah, I think I started it. I can't remember even if I finished it or not. I forgot about that one.

And that's how good. And that's how good it is. And that's my number eight. Well, my number eight has already been brought up, the nun. Yeah. For the same reasons that Brian said, It was just, it should have been so much better. It was super disappointing.

I really, like, if it had been a standalone movie that was not in that universe, it wouldn't have been bad, I don't think. But in that world against that standard that's already been set, it didn't come close. And my number eight has also been mentioned, the Meg! Fucking, nothing happened. How are you going to have a giant shark swim through all these sharks? basically a Chinese bowl of cereal Chinese fruit loops and no fucking blood

seriously? Nothing, yeah. That shouldn't be as funny as it is. All right, sorry. All right. My number seven is I don't know why they keep making these movies and it's Hellraiser

judgment. Oh, I didn't see it. I need a sounder from Nez where he just says trash, and I just push the button. That is my number seven. Nez soundboard coming right up, hopefully. I'm going to go, my number seven is going to be the Cloverfield Paradox. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Again, as a standalone movie, you know, maybe it wouldn't have been that bad, but it was like they just threw this Cloverfield thing in at the last minute and the hype around it didn't match the movie. Yeah, I kind of took it. I think I kind of knew that going in. It's like, hey, we're just going to connect it last minute. I was able to just put that aside and kind of enjoy the movie as sort of a standalone.

And as a standalone, I thought it was pretty good. I think I gave it like a seven, seven and a half or something like that. I thought it was pretty decent. Wow. to each their own man you got it you didn't like red sparrows so fuck you anyway I think we're square because you didn't like solo

so I like both those movies all right Lance you're number seven my turn little movie it wasn't going to be in my bottom five but when you extended it to 10 I had to include it A Rapy Zombie

Day of the Dead Bloodline Ah Let's see Where we had number six Number six is I think one of our first reviews of the year And that's Winchester

Ouch Jason Clark was I try to defend this guy Lance you got You got Dane DeHon I got Jason Clark I couldn't really say nothing about this movie

it was boring from beginning to end. Damn it. I was looking for seeing that too. I avoided it based on just your guys' show. You know what? It will probably be more exciting to actually go visit the house than to actually watch this movie. I've actually been there.

It's boring. No, it's a lot like the movie. Yeah, I was hoping that would be better. My number six is going to be a Netflix movie called Open House. Oh my gosh, I forgot about that movie. Yeah, it was, I don't remember much about it. It was bad.

I know that. It is definitely not worth your time. Don't check it out. Yeah. My number six is a little movie called Truth or Dare. It's a Bloomhouse movie, which, you know, obviously Bloomhouse is either, basically you either love the movies or you hate them. I hated this one. I remember you shitting on that big.

time. That was bad. All right, let's get you all in here. Mel, you number five. Okay, so I definitely took

some liberties with my list and added, like, in some superhero kind of stuff and, like, some action movie. So, my number five worst

was Mile 22 with Mark Wahlberg and Lauren Cohen. Not that great. That was a waste of fucking time. I kind of liked it. Mark Wahlberg to look at. I'm like,

well, I kind of liked it. If you, would have just replaced Mark Wahlberg with somebody else, with somebody else. Oh, Mark Warburg usually does great in those movies. He had this

thing he was doing in the movie with the rubber band constantly that was irritating, and I don't know, he didn't really do shit in the movie, so I think if you would have got a kick-ass action star and threw him in there. I guess, but I don't know.

I just didn't like that character in general, honestly. I don't know. He just was annoying. I don't know. And the ending was just not satisfying for me. I was like, oh. Oh, so this is the end?

Oh, okay. Wow. Thanks, Red Box, for stealing my money. Thank you. All right. Jay. I'm going to do the same thing Mel did and take some liberty and

you guys, I think all you guys said this movie was good and I've heard that this movie was great and all that. And I watched it and it was, fucking complete shit. I felt the way you did with solo Lance going in like, oh, yeah, I'm going to like this. Nope.

Game night. Fuck that movie. Boring, not funny, predictable from the first two seconds of the show. I'm like, I know how this is going to end. Fuck that movie. Oh, game night. Fuck that.

Game over. Game over. My number five, Lance, you brought it up already, truth or dare. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I luckily, I got to, you know, I found other means to watch it.

I didn't go to the theater. Yeah. And it was still a waste of time. So that's my number five. Yep, right on par. Truth did air. That's my number five. That's a good pick, huh?

Yeah. I mean, I guess it had, it had some merit behind it, but it was, it didn't really follow through. It wasn't great. Good. I'm glad when you guys dared me to watch this movie, I took Truth. Because I fucking... Thank you. The aforementioned Hill Razor judgment.

Never should have happened. My judgment on this movie, why the fuck did they make it? They should have stopped it like Hill Razor 2, I think. I think that's why I didn't watch it, because you guys both said it sucked. Yeah, it's pretty bad. And it's like a fat pinhead, right? Yeah, it doesn't even make any sense. Mel

Number four Okay, this one hurts me a little bit to say Because I love, love, love The stars of this movie But I got to go quiet place Oh no I did not like this movie I was bored

Honestly And I was like Y'all just did get rid of them kids I don't know what y'all are doing with your lives Like why did you decide to have another kid that was dumb You all know what causes that right This seems preventable I don't know I was not a fan of that movie at all

And I like I thought I was going to love it I freaking love Emily Blunt and of course John Krasinski Jim Halpert is love my life Will always be but I wasn't feeling this new Him dipping his toes into the the horror realm wasn't here for it. Uh-oh.

Wow. No. Might be the most controversial pick of the night. Don't at me about it. I don't even have an argument for you. But we'll see that movie again. All right, Jay. Number four, again, guys, I didn't watch a lot of stuff.

This is more of a sci-fi thing. I just, I like the original, because, my daughters are huge, huge fans of this series, books, and whatever. And the first eight movies were great. Fantastic beasts. God, that was... It was pointless.

It was pointless. Oh, yeah. They're garbage. I was like, they need to stop this shit. You guys had a good run, end it on a high note, and go, stop trying to fucking take, you know, have a lightning strike twice because it's not going to work. Fuck this movie.

Right. Yeah. It made no sense. It made no fucking same. The character Johnny Depp plays didn't really seem like a bad guy. Not really. Dude, Johnny Depp is off the deep end right now. Have you seen him lately?

No. He's like 90 fucking pounds or something, man. Yeah, wearing like weird hipster t-shirts and stuff. And I think he shaved his head. Like, he looks like a cancer patient. Oh. He might be dying.

I don't know. He might be dying. It looks like it. It goes 23 Jump Street. Great. Oh. It looks like a 22-year-old female with breast cancer. Oh.

Damn, Philip. I'm sorry, that was bad. But, like, he looks weird, man. It's not like Johnny Dell. Anyway. You show this not for a movie or something? I don't know. Maybe it is.

It looks way off. He looks like he's not doing good. He didn't do good. in Fantastic VIII. There's that. Number four, this has been on my list since the beginning of the year. Also,

Insidious, the last key. Oh, ouch. They need to end this franchise. Yeah, they do. It did very well, too, just like the nuns, so there'll be another one. Oh, yeah. You know, I love Lynch-Shay, but they just keep trying to just jam her into these

movies. Why? Why? She died in the first one. let her go. Fuck. Yeah. Spoiler alert. Yeah. Because I really like her. I hated that I hated that movie.

My number four is going to be Winchester. Oh. Yeah. There you go. There you go. It was awful. It was just, it was boring.

Yeah. That's really all you need to know. Helen Mirren couldn't even save it. I know, right? It looked like it was going to be so good and it just wasn't. Right. My number four would probably be lower down on the list,

except I've got to tell you guys I fell asleep halfway through it and literally woke up during the credit, so I don't really feel like I can safely barely put it below. But I will give it some value. It's definitely a more potent concoction than Xanax, Ambien, and Quiludes altogether. And that would be the movie called Slender Man. That's my number four. Yeah.

That is ambient right there. Mel. Okay, my number three was Strangers Pray at Night. Oh, I saw that last night. It wasn't that bad. What? Okay, well, we watched two different movies. I love the strangers, like, the original.

That's actually probably one of my top, oh, top three favorite horror movies of all time. I love that movie. But even the very brief appearance of Christina Hendrix couldn't save this. Live Tyler's character could have come back from the dead and it wouldn't have saved it. It was such a waste of time. It was trash.

Live Tyler. What you wanted Live Tyler to come back? I think even if she had come back from the dead, it wouldn't have. That couldn't have even made the movie for me. Like nothing could have made that good. I don't think I want to see Liv Tyler in anything anymore. I love like Liv Tyler. I love it.

You guys did. Watch that movie. What's that movie? Wildling? Were they trying to make her a fucking sheriff? I did. The movie wasn't bad. The movie wasn't bad, but her, come on, a sheriff.

Brian just negated all your, all your comments. He said they're trying to make her sheriff. Done. I thought about it and I was like, oh, I did see that. Shit. I'm sorry. Well, Ella's right. She was good in the first strangers.

Yeah. And for me, like, side note, classic Liv Tyler. I actually just got this movie for Christmas. It's one of my old, like, old school favorites is that thing you do. Yes. Oh, nice. I love her in that movie. So that was like, I think that was like the first movie that kind of made me a Live Tyler fan.

But, uh, yeah. So strangers pray at night. Trash. Little tidbit. I was actually an extra that never got on screen in a Live Tyler movie that was filmed here and stocked in. Oh, fuck. Something about the Abbott. with Waukeen Phoenix.

Oh, inventing the Abbott. Oh, mm-hmm. Me, I love me from Joaquin Phoenix now, y'all. Mm-mm-mm. Oh, my number three, shit up, Meg. God, this movie was garbage.

I think we said it. Wow. It was stupid. It was just stupid. No. It's such a letdown. At least we're all in grants. Yeah.

My number three is, Lance, you brought it up Day of the Dead Bloodline. I knew it'd been up there. Yeah. Like you said, weird, rapy, stealthy, ninja zombies and the story was... That sounds awesome. It sounds awesome. But it made no sense. I didn't, I don't even, I don't even consider this a remake of the original. It has nothing to do with it. And it was, uh, yeah, it's a lot of my top five's been,

been on my list all year. And that's, that's, that's another one. That was a January horror movie. That should be the quote on the box. Yeah. Well, yeah. That's my number three too, man. We're beat for beat here. That was, I mean, I'm trying to think of maybe if it was during the time,

maybe we were coming off of a bunch of really good horror movies, and then this one popped up and we're like, I don't think, what is this trash? I think it was just that January, February thing. I think it was just a really legitimately shitty movie especially when you hear what kind of budget they had on it

because it should have been like a blockbuster. Yeah, it's a shame. Yeah, my number three doesn't need to be talked about too much. The previously mentioned super boring Winchester. My number two is a little indie

horror flick by the name of Bonejangles. I don't know if all have ever watched it. this movie? I know. I know you're going to do. So actually,

it's a Texas Frightman connection. I'm the director and one of the actors at Texas Frightmare at one of the parties and they told me about this movie.

I mean, and y'all know when this was. When did I meet you guys? Was it like, it'd be almost two years ago, right? Yeah, I think it was two years ago, right? I just watched it two weeks ago.

I finally was like, I have nothing else to do. I'm going to watch this dumb-ass movie. Y'all dumb ass does not even describe it. I was like, What is this trash?

It's terrible. Yeah, it's pretty bad. Bless their hearts, that's all I can say. Bone jangles. Worst movie of 2018? Best scoff and name of 2018. Yeah. Was it a poro?

Not exactly. All right, Jay. my number two dangles my number two movie of the worst movie and I want to go punch I want to kick Stephen

Spielberg in the nuts and the bad thing not the good kind you guys are talking about for even starting this trend because of this fucking movie Jurassic Park world whatever Oh okay

Come on it was fine man It's not The doctor is wrong It was not it was stupid. It made no sense where that fucking black dinosaur come from when the movie just ended. I was like, did they just grow that and just keep him in the barn the whole time? It was stupid. And why was he going over to the kid like Jaws the Revenge?

Fuck that movie. And fuck Steven Spielberg. You know, I eat this as of this. And fuck anybody that had anything to do with it. Exactly. Yeah, Chris Pratt, fuck you. Yeah. Fuck, guys. Shut the fuck up, guys. Now we're going to get into a fight now.

I didn't like it. All right. I still love you, Chris Pratt. Yeah. We love you, Chris Pratt. Everybody has to get a paycheck. Come on. Yeah, that's true.

Let's see. My number two trailer had me fooled. I thought it was another sequel, another fixed sequel to a horse. horrible original and that was unfriended dark web. Oh, fuck, I forgot about that one too. Every kill, almost every kill was off screen. I guess you just had to use your imagination.

And I mean, I don't know. It's just, the trailer just had me so hyped up. I'm like, I got to watch this movie. I threw it on our schedule and then probably about 30 minutes into watching the movie. I was regretting putting it on the schedule. I'm trying to figure out what's your worst movie is. Dude, I don't want to even think about another horror movie about the goddamn internet.

And you know what? I'm the main one on here that complains about people in the theater. And one of the things I hate is when people are on their phone, I took my oldest daughter to this movie and we just probably got on our phones. Both of us, I would say the last 30 minutes of this movie, this movie was completely. complete garbage. Ouch. Insidious, the last key. Yeah.

This is show number two? Yeah. As much as much as I love the actress, what's your name? Linda Scha. Yeah. As much as I love her and I wanted her to be good in this movie, the movie was just bad. There were some cool special effects,

but that was about it. Yeah, that what was it, the key monster, key demon? That looked pretty cool. It did look pretty cool. It actually showed up. That was that one actor, right, that plays all the weird part. Havier Boutette. Yeah, Javier Boutette, right?

Yeah. Well, for, I mean, you know, maybe two minutes in the entire movie, it had some saving grace, but it was a really bad movie. Such a stupid idea, though, to stick the key in somebody. My number two is Insidious, the last key, by the way. Yeah. All right, Mel. I feel like y'all already know what my number one is as far as my worst movie.

And that would be all through the house. God. That was 2018. The old school. Whatever. It was still the worst. It will always be the worst. I'm going to write it down for next year in advance because it's so terrible.

Until I find one that's actually worse than that, then it's going to be my forever, worst, my evergreen worst. God. That's the bar, huh? Wow. I mean, and this gave me such an interesting impression of Lance when he was like, yeah, I really love this movie. I'm like, what the fuck are you watching this?

I know there's going to be some differing opinions on the show. This is fun. Is that the one where they said, hey, JJ Abrams does so many of the, of the flare, the, what do you call them? Lens flare. Lens Flats. Let's see if we can beat them with dick shots. Is that that that movie?

a lot. Pretty much. Entire bag of dicks. Literally. Dude. Yeah. A Santa Claus bag full of dicks? I don't know how you go wrong with that movie.

That should have been called song jangles. Yeah, I guess that was bone jangles. All right, Jay. My number one is you guys had it like high on your list. Predator. Fuck. This movie sucks. I mean, but because it had potential because you're like, oh, you know, Shane, was it, Shane Black?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's my uncle, by the way. I don't know if you guys knew that. For real? No, but that movie, I sat there. I think this is the second time I actually sat through the movie with just a fucking frown on my face.

The whole line, like, fuck this move. First one was Transformers, too. Just fuck this movie. Made no sense. Again, it was just stupid that. One guy, he was great in Narcos, and then he was okay, Logan. I didn't mind him as much. Boyd Holbrook.

Yeah, yeah. But he was, God, he was so fucking stupid. The whole, everybody, his whole team was this terrible. Everybody. Fuck this movie. Number one. Fuck. Lance, you already brought this up.

Slender Man. Oh, okay. Better than Ambien. So you stayed awake. it was hard it was very hard it was the noises in the background it's just like you want you want to put that on when you want to go to sleep for real slender man is my bye-bye man for this year it was you know what bye-bye man is better than slender man yeah yeah 100000 percent i can watch bye-bye man and make fun of it and have a good time making fun of it slender man i have absolutely nothing to say about it. I don't either.

Brutal. Because I was asleep through a majority of the goddamn movie in the middle of the afternoon in the theater by myself. Yeah, it was my number one too, man. It just puts your ass to sleep.

It was so, I've never seen a movie as boring or as soothing as that. I've seen I'll give it that. I've seen one more boring. And it was called Unfriended Dark Web, which is my

number one worst movie the year. Please don't make another one. Yeah, I'm kidding. And if you do, Brian, please don't make us see it. Oh, we're done. I'd rather get thrown in the briar patch than have to see that shit. You've got to watch a bad one every once in a while. All right, let's get into our top list. I'm going to start it off

number 10. Overlord. You got any honor? honorable mention. Oh, yeah. I actually do. Did make my list Terrifier. Have you guys seen

Terrifier? Yes. Not terrified that we just reviewed. No, wait. No, I got my list messed up. Terrified. The foreign movie. Yeah, no.

Stop. Got me confused. Terrifier, the one we just reviewed is an honorable mention. Okay. on your top cool art the clown

let's do it that way art the clown is an honorable mention upgrade I liked upgrade but I felt like we got most of the good stuff in the trailer still a good movie though

or in Robocop or Venom yeah sorry cargo cargo was a very very depressing movie oh that was a good one

I forgot about that. And I don't know if this is, I think this is an Indonesian movie. It's on Netflix. May the Devil take you? Oh, heard some good things. Yeah. If you, if you like Sam Ramey, Evil Dead, that style of movie,

then I recommend this one. Okay. But like I had mentioned, Overlord, squizzed it into my top ten. All right, well, I'll go with my honorable mentions. These are ones that maybe I didn't particularly like

on first viewing, but I feel like there was a lot of substance there and they could be really good movies and I really want to watch them again all very critically acclaimed

well except maybe this one. Wildling, I really like. It's my honorable mention. Oh, Liv Tyler as the sheriff. I just remember watching it and going,

oh yeah, that was really good. I'm going to say Susperia. I didn't like it when I watched it just because I thought it was really long, but I feel like there's really something there and I want to watch it again. The same thing with this one, I want

to watch it again when I'm in a very different state of mind, and that's Mandy. Definitely none of those would have even come close to making it in my top ten. I just felt like they were worth mentioning. My number 10, though, is also

Overlord. I had a really good time at this movie, man. Zami Nazis. How can you go wrong? It's not as crazy action fun as you would expect it to be, but it does have those moments.

But it also has a really cool story too. Nice. Lance. My honorable mentions, the first one would be revenge. I thought this was one of the goryest, bloodiest, funest movies with some of the best, definitely some of the best photography

I've seen of any movie this year. It was just, the only thing that kept it out of the top 10 for me is it was just a little too far-fetched, you know, believing that she could survive some of the things that she had to in the movie and stuff like that. Another honorable mention, it may be too soon, but Bander Snatch, I really like what they did with the concept. And third honorable mention would be Marvel's Black Panther. That did come out this year. Yeah, a lot of really, really great action in it. for a guy who is always pissing on, you know, superhero

movies, that's honorable mention. And guess what my number 10 is? Speaking of which. That's Avengers. You got it. Avengers Infinity War, number 10. You guys have talked about it. So, yep, it's in there. Nice.

All right. My number nine is, Lance, you just brought it up. Revenge. Yes. I love the way it was shot. I actually rewatch this recently and even like those those close-up shots of like you know somebody eating something it just makes yeah it just like makes you despise and think you know that person is even more discussing of a person you know and i look yeah i look past all the the of course things that she

probably should have died many times in that movie but i still think it was a fun movie you know it's kind of weird to say a movie that had raping it was fun, but it was a beautifully shot movie. I'll look at you. I like that. A fun, beautifully shot movie that had rape in it. Well, it is what it is.

My number nine is the cured, which a lot of people really didn't like. Yeah, it was a zombie movie, but after they had been cured and they're trying to reintroduce them back into society. I know that there was another TV show that supposedly did it better, some UK show. I can't remember what the name of it is, but I really enjoyed myself in this movie, man.

The acting was really great. It completely sucked me in. Go check it out if you have seen. Nice. I'm writing that one down. Lance. Oh, my turn. Sorry.

Okay, my number nine, I enjoyed it so much that it inspired me to go out and buy it. and read the entire trilogy of books, and that's Annihilation. Oh, yeah, Annihilation definitely made the top ten. I love the group concept and the different characters, like one of them was really badass,

one of them was really, you know, more of a scientist type, and, you know, I just like the way they brought the characters together, and they had to all kind of figure out what was going on. The book goes a lot deeper, and it's a lot, books a lot different from the movie,

I thought it was really well done. I'm curious to see the... Go ahead. Is that a trilogy of books? Yeah, it's a trilogy of books. And it's, it goes obviously a lot deeper. Like, instead of just, you know, the movie covers what happens to that group and the group that came before them.

But the book goes, like, back to insinuate that, like, the same patterns been going on in that area, like, since humankind started. Like, it was, uh, it's kind of hard to describe. but if you like, you know, that kind of, you know, that kind of esoteric, those, the ideas that came forth in the movie, they're even, you know, a lot stronger in the book. I'm curious to see what the rest of your list is going to be like. I thought for sure that would be higher. Yeah, I thought it would be too. What are we on, eight?

My number eight is a quiet place. I don't care what Mel says. What is her name? What is her name, the actress? Emily Blunt? Yeah, that's why they're still having kids, because that's his wife. Emily Blunt is his wife, so that's all I have to say. I don't know, he needs to work on his pull-out game.

I don't know. So you know things happen. Damn. That's my number eight, a quiet place. My number eight is going to be Birdbox. Oh, wow. Yeah, it definitely. made the list. Hell, it may have been

higher by the end of the year if it had come out a little sooner. I really enjoyed this one. Sandra Bullock was great. Not like Oceans A. Oh, boy. All right, well, my number eight on my list is

it's a real low-budget independent movie that's I think it was an IFC midnight release. Not necessarily really a horror movie, but low life. Anybody's seen this one? Oh no, I never did see it. Yeah, I fucking loved it. What'd you think, Brian? I didn't like it. Not one bit.

It's probably one of those love it or hate it, but no, I really fucking love the way the characters came together. I like the characters. It just, I thought it was going to be a lot more wacky, I guess, is the word. But it wasn't? Yeah, it was kind of serious, wasn't it? Yeah. I probably should need to rewatch it. I probably just assumed it was going to be one way. Because that's what the trailer had, it looking like a snatch kind of a movie, you know?

Right, sure, sure. Yeah, I got a lot out of it. I thought the acting was great, and I love the way, I love the grittiness of the movie, but yeah, for me, low-life, number eight. All right, my number seven is Mandy. I think I was completely in the right state of mind to watch this movie. Nick Cage is on a comeback, and I believe the director says he has another movie that he's going to work with him on.

So that's my number eight. No, I'll say. Number seven, I mean. I don't know. My number, what are we, on eight or seven? Seven. Seven. Un sane. Oh, nice.

Shot on an iPhone. Pretty amazing movie, man. I was really impressed with it. Surprisingly so. Yeah, my number seven is the good old bad times of the ale royale. Nice. I don't know how much I love that movie. So it would have been in my top five, but it got knocked out by a couple of more recent ones that I'll talk about in a while.

But yeah, I loved it. Let's see. Number six is another Netflix movie came out earlier this year. The Ritual. Oh, yeah. Wow, that probably should have been an honorable mention for me. Ten times better.

We can only put so many movies on these lists, damn it. Yeah, ten times better than that Blair Witch movie that came out. Oh, yeah. Agreed. My number six, you guys already talked about it. Revenge. just it's a gorgeous movie I mean this thing is art from start to finish really enjoyed it I think better the second time around than it was the first

because I don't think I gave it a high enough score the first time my number six just a good old-fashioned fun time lots of brutal kills even a movie where you're where this creature goes into a pregnant woman under the sheets and you're like are they going to go there are they really going to go there go there. Puppets master, the littlest rike. I forgot about that one. I forgot about that one, too.

My number five, I decided to give this one to, the one we actually just did not long ago, we interviewed him, sick for toys. Admittedly, after I watched all through the house, and then I was like, oh, no, this movie's going to suck because that other one was awful. And I was like, I hate all of you.

But no. It actually was really good. Yeah, I was like, why did I agree to this? This is a terrible idea. No, it actually, it surprised me. The actual depth behind the movie really floored me. And then after we interviewed Justin and kind of learned more about his experience, that just made my like for the movie go up even more.

So, yeah, shout out to Justin Xavier for Sick for Toys. I did a top five as well. but I also had a couple of honorable mentions. One was, Bell just mentioned it, Sick for Toys was one of them. Great, great movie.

I think I'd probably have a little bit more stake into it because I got to bunk with the guy, so, you know, we got some snuggle time in. So that's probably going to put it up there. No, I'm kidding.

Another honorable mention. That would have bumped it up, for sure. Another honorable mention is, I think was Brian's, was cargo. I love that movie. That was fantastic. I absolutely love that.

that. I wish I'd remember that one. Going into my actual number five, so remember, this was a horror, sci-fi, mix it all in. Yes. I had such a fun time with Deadpool part two. Love it. Okay. I loved it.

When he had his legs or whatever ripped off, right? Yeah. And then his comes in, he's dangling, and he said, so you're just shirt-cocking it. I fucking laugh for a minute. Oh my God, I lost my

shit. I can just go back and say, what did I miss? Because I could not stop fucking laughing. You just, you're just going to shirkog it. Oh, let's make a fucking laugh right now, man. It was fantastic. I got to watch that one again. Oh, I'll watch it again. I just don't think it's making my top ten. Well, again, I saw 30 movies this year, so I'm, I got, I can see where that one makes it. Yeah. All right. My number five is. terrified. I got it right this time.

I believe this movie's from Argentina and Guillermo del Toro is already going to remake it. Allegedly, I don't know. It's one of his many projects he says he's going to do, but creepy, creepy, creepy movie, creepy paranormal kind of ghost story. I don't really want to get into it,

because I'm not sure if a lot of people have seen it. It's on the shutter. Shutter app if anybody has Shutter. Oh, okay. Really good app, by the way. Yeah, no kidding. Like, I keep thinking I'm going to go back and cancel it, and I never do. It's kind of worth it.

Yeah, they're consistently adding new stuff to it all the time, and a lot of original stuff, too. My number five, and I really toyed about putting this way higher on the list, is going to be mom and dad, another Nick Cage. Yeah. Damn, she's a good on the list. Yeah. Good year for that dude, man. This was a fun time from start to finish.

I kind of loved it. I want to watch it again right now. All right, so Jay, this is why I said, fuck you when you talked about Sir Stephen Spielberg. And if we could knight people in the U.S., he'd be the first in line for me. But Ready Player One, man, so much more. Great movie. Yeah.

Easy, easy top five, Ready Player One. And this was one of the movies where they took scenes. from the book changed it and it was for the better. For the better visually, yeah. Yeah. And actually, not visually, just storywise too. When, because they changed, what was it, the second key they had to find was, was, oh, what was it?

Oh, what was it? Oh, my. That music hit. Yeah. I lost my fucking shit in that. God damn. I forget. Yeah.

In the book, they just had to play like a little 32-bit puzzle game or something like that right adventure whatever I think that was the third key actually but oh no no it was a movie I think it was a movie or much more cinematic in the film for sure yeah that was such a great fucking scene

all right Mel my number four was Bird Box I love this movie and I'm super excited to talk about it on stream queen so I'm not going to talk about it now in great detail but yeah it was it's phenomenal if you haven't

watched it. You need to watch it now. All right. Jay. Number four. Lance has got me. I got to go get these books. Annihilation. Great movie. Good. Great. Great, great, great movie. My number four will be unsane. Claire Foy was amazing in this movie. And Matt Damon pops up in this movie for fucking I.

I don't know why. I'm glad he said it. I'm glad he's been popping in every freaking movie this year. doesn't he? Yeah. I'm sure it wasn't Fat Damon, the imposter? And what made this movie even better is we paired it with the worst movie ever, which just made this movie better, and that was too, Jennifer.

Right. It just made this movie even more great to talk about. So, insane is my number four. Things you can and can't do while filming a movie on a phone. My number four. is a quiet place. I loved it. Slow burn.

I can see where it's not for everybody. But man, I thought John Cresensky killed it with this. What's up with the comedic actors making really kick-ass horror movies? Let's get some more of this. All right. My number four was a

terrifyingly realistic World War II movie that morphed into like a house of horrors, and that was the fantastic overlord. Wow. He's in that before. Great movie. Can't wait to buy that one. Kurt Russell Jr.

Is that his name? Oh, yeah. Wyatt Russell. He was just amazing. Really good cast. Everybody was good in it. My number three, sorry if you hear my wine pouring. My number three is Avengers Infinity War.

Nice. Yes. Especially because of my little baby boo thing, my Tom Holland, I think he is the only Spider-Man that matters. To me anyway. So R-I-P, Toby McGuire. Yeah, no, I just, I love this movie. I thought it was fantastic.

I'm super excited about the sequel. Nice. All right. Jay. Number three, win on the list one hour and 30 minutes ago because I just finished this movie. Hereditary. I'm glad I fucking put this in. right before we did this show because that was fantastic.

Absolute fantastic. Can we spoil this movie? Yeah. What is it? Like 20 minutes in and they're on the car ride and then her head just comes right off. I'm like, oh, shit. Yeah, dude. Yeah, I don't waste no time.

Did that just happen? I turned around and I said that out loud and there's nobody in the room with me, but I had to say it. You know, that just fucking happened. God, that was a great movie. Slow pace. And then, like, while you're recovering, from that, the whole family is recovering from that. Oh, and is he the shittiest husband?

I mean, they got either, those people got a shitty marriage. He's an asshole. I mean, dude, your mom died, your kid died. Show some fucking love to your wife or, you know, whatever. I just got this guy played it. And I think he did a great. I don't think it was bad acting or anything like that. I think his character was kind of written, written that way.

And, you know, he did a, it was Gabriel Byrne, right? Yeah. He's not bad. He's just drawn that way. Yeah, well. I think we talked about it. Didn't we talk about it, Lance, how we felt like everybody was kind of going through

some form of depression or something? Yes. And that was, we kind of figured that's how he was dealing with things. Mm-hmm. That's a great movie. Yeah, for sure. I avoided your guys' show on that one.

I kind of fast forward and I didn't listen to the spoilers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I didn't get to really, now I can go back and, you know, and just kind of listen what you guys said about. it but yeah definitely definitely great movie nice uh my number three uh it's been brought up a few times and that's annihilation um that that that screaming bear that that that shit is that

that that's the stuff the nightmares right there yes nice and it has uh i'm becoming a big fan of hers uh tessa thompson was in this yeah popping up left lately yeah she's backing with four in the new men and black movie again which actually doesn't look bad so I don't know I don't know if it's because I don't know

I might be a little biased with Tessa Thompson but I don't know she's had a good track record lately true all right we'll see Bill my number three kind of going back and forth

between number two but I'm going to go with Halloween okay yeah I just I had a great time at this movie, especially since, you know, just the timing when it came out and we had just watched the original, which is an insanely good horror movie. And I really got into it and I loved all the little throwbacks to the original that they did and throwbacks to even some of the sequels.

Great job with it. I just really enjoyed myself. It was fun. And another comedian writing this, right? Yep. Another comedian. This was, damn it, what's his name? Danny McBride

There you go Another guy wrote it together right I never can't remember his name You always see his face And just cursing at something or somebody Yeah Danny McBride is hilarious I love it guy

All right Well I'm gonna number three I think somebody mentioned Unsane once already And so like yeah That's the difference between What a skilled director can do With an iPhone

Versus a hack Enough said Mel. Okay, my number two was Black Panther. Wow. I mean, I love this movie. I think, yeah, yeah, this is definitely. You love the superhero stuff.

You're the new Brian. She loves her some Michael B. Jordan. Yes, sir, I do. I do. I absolutely do. You're going to notice a trend here. I loved it. And I also love Chadwick Bosman.

And even aside from that, I just love the representation that's in this movie. I think it's amazing. I think it's been long overdue. And I just, I thought the story was great. The cinematography was great. Everything about this movie rocked. Cool. Also, Mike B.

Jordan. So, first of all, Mel shit on Buster Scruggs, which is one of my top movies of the, Now she's shit on my number two. So her and I come Frightmare where they're going to arm wrestle a one-legged sack race. Something's got to be done to get a quiet

place. Fucking loved a quiet place. Again, we all mention about comedians, writing horror films, but fucking loved it. Nothing wrong with that, man. If you love it, you love it. Love it. Love it. Loved it. Had a great time.

My two, my number two, Philip, I already mentioned it, Halloween. I think this is one of the best horror. You were mad because he didn't kill that baby in the crib. So many questions about when you're a baby killer. Fucking net.

But yeah, my number two is Halloween. All right. I still got to see that. My number two. My number two, see, and that's what I was going back and forth between Brian, you and I are on the same page. My number two is Annihilation. Oh, nice. Yeah, dude. The more I think about that movie, the greater it was.

I really enjoyed myself. It was super surreal. Man, I don't know. They really pulled it off. It was great to me. Cool. My number two is one of those very, very rare ones that I think that the remake was much, much, much better than the original, although unlike you, Jay,

I like the original, but the remake of Susperio, to me, was fucking phenomenal. I just loved everything about it. I just loved the cruelty of the witches and I loved some of the shots when they were just sitting around, like, eating together or at a restaurant or where they were

like having breakfast and you could see where they were reading each other's minds and voting without even really talking and stuff like that. It was just super creepy and I loved it. So number two, Susperia for me. I got to put that on the list. And you said, of course, it's better than the original.

I could reshoot that movie, Susperi with like this little green army men that don't move, and it would be better than the... But I like the original. It's definitely artsy. It's not for everybody, man. It's super fucking artsy. But if you like Mandy, then you should definitely like this one. Oh, yeah, no, I'll try out the new Suspuria. Definitely.

Jay, you need to make that movie happen With the army It's awesome That'll be our YouTube video Armymen It's progressive Mel, you're number one My number one

Was Michael B. Jordan's biceps I mean creed too That's all that coming From a real way y'all like i just remember like sitting in the theater and be like yo is he bigger under that robe i feel like he's bigger i feel like he's even like more fierce than he was in the first one and he was and he was and he was a wonderful movie only one way to find out mel i volunteer is tribute okay i will be your catness everdean yes i will sir um no i loved it i thought the story was fantastic um sly

amazing in this movie. I definitely thought it was better than the first one. All around, just a fantastic movie. My number one, it's been mentioned before it is Avengers Infinity. Damn good. Okay, guys, this was the fucking Super Bowl. You had 19 movies, 10 years, building up to this one moment, and it did not disappoint. Sometimes, you know what? I think about, I don't even know, I don't know what's better. going into a movie and not expecting anything and it blows you away or you have you have these high hopes you're like oh man i'm going to be blown away i'm going to be do this and it fucking nails it and you're like i knew it i knew it what's better i mean really that is better way better it is because how many times do you go into a movie with really high hopes and then it just sucks or even if it's just okay you're like oh exactly and then when it exceeds that yeah well actually It wasn't that bad.

Yeah. I wasn't fast. But no, there was not a dull moment in, in Infinity War. Everybody was done perfectly. The only thing that... The dialogue was amazing, man.

The script was fantastic. It was. And the good thing I liked about that is the bad guy, Thanos. He wasn't the fucking, the mustache twirling. I mean, you would agree, you can kind of see his point.

And his argument when he was telling, when we was telling, what's her name, Zamora, Zamora, whatever, whatever, green lady. And she's like, you kill. He goes, yeah, but, you know, there's no poverty. Everybody's living happy. You guys are living in Star Trek world. I mean, you're like, oh, how do you kind of argue? That's kind of hard to argue with. I mean, I'm not justified genocide or 50% genocide, whatever.

But, and the thing about it is he was completely beatable. absolutely fucking beatable and it was the decisions of the heroes that caused him to continue to win number one was Star Lord they had him fucking beat yeah his skill got in the way and his fucking emotions got in the way

and he fucking and he screwed it up for them and then it was mad at that part four could have just and like he could have just took Thanos advice go over the fucking head but he had to prove a point shove it in his chest and get in his face and see see I beat you

and because of that they fucking lost. It wasn't one of these movies where the bad guy is such a terrible, terrible, and he's overpowering nobody. And then at the last minute, they fucking Hulk out, you know, like Hulk Hogan's pumping his leg, and they come through and then magically.

No, no. Dew was completely beatable throughout the whole movie. Decisions made by the heroes was what caused him to lose. And I think that's even worse. And you can kind of see that on, you know, Tony Stark's facing on that shit. But that's, I'm talking too much about it. Great fucking movie.

It was like that Game of Thrones scene with the mountain fighting that you'd. Yeah. Oh, yes. I had the same sort of feeling in this movie. Yes. All right. My number one of the year is hereditary. Great movie.

Tony Colette was fantastic in this movie. And I have to shout out, what is her name? Millie Shapiro. She played Charlie, the little girl. Oh, yeah. She did great in it. unique look to her. And a little

fact I just found out the one who played the son, Alex Wolfe. Is that not rock? Jimonji. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That scene where he slams his head on the desk, he actually dislocated

his jaw in real life. Oh, no shit. Wow. Yeah. So that's commitment to your role right there. My number one movie, Hereditary. Oh, speaking of, I'm sorry,

He looked pretty fucked up in that movie. That was method acting at its finest. No doubt. Speaking of head slamming, when Tony Collette, the mom, when she was like stuck up on the ceiling and just slamming her head against that door. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. That gave me chills. And I was like, that's fucking.

I know. That was a great scene. That was like the equivalent to, uh, and the Exorcist. When she comes down the stairs backwards, I get the same. Oh, shit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's creepy.

That was also my number one, hereditary. Man, that movie was Exorcist level classic, I think. Well, I don't know about that. That's strong words. It's, I mean, we're going to remember this one for a long time. And 30 years from now, when people are talking about the best horror movies, this was, I think, is going to be on the list. I'm actually ready to go watch it again right now,

because my number one of the year was also hereditary. Just a fucking modern masterpiece. You guys. Holy shh. I mean, I'm going to tell you something. I saw the Golden Globe announcements. The fact that Tony Collette wasn't nominated, if she's not nominated for an Oscar, for best actress, I'm fucking walking out. Seriously, this is fucking horseshit if she's not. I mean, I mean, I think she will be. For the Oscars, I think she will be nominated. But that was like,

God damn, that was the best performance I've seen in years. Amen. Yeah. That was damn good. she's in one of my actually favorite movies of all time non-horror, of course, way, way back. Fucking love that movie. Ah, okay. Love, love that movie. Sam Rockwell, fantastic movie.

Oh, another great actor. All right, before we get into our Hall Pass list, uh, any, anything, uh, coming out next year that you guys are really anticipating? Glass. Oh, good one. Yeah. I'm super excited. And that's right around the corner, no?

Yeah. I can't wait for that one. January, yeah. So ready. Fucking Star Wars. Oh, yeah. For me, it's Avengers end game. What about you, Mel?

Oh, it's definitely, it's glass. It's glass, for sure. I mean, I'm definitely looking forward to, I'm looking forward to the Avengers. You don't, y'all don't understand my level of love for James McAvoy and split, though. Yeah, he was good. It's hardcore. Yeah.

Shamelons has such a weird record, you know? I mean, this... No, he does. I think it'll be awesome, but it could really suck. Hey, but he's two for two for this series, though. That's true. Yeah, he is. As a rule, I like M. Night Shyamelons movies.

Right. But so, fun fact, at Christmas, I was with my family, and my mom was like, you know, put on... Let's put on, like, let's put on a movie. You know, a fun family movie, like The Incredibles, and I put on Split. which was great because I ran everybody out of the room and I'm just in there by myself just eating cookies and watch it split I would say Avengers

but I think I'm with Phil I think Star Wars I want to see if JJ could win back whatever Star Wars fans you know shit man for me for the first time I am not anticipating Star Wars is not going to be my fucking

number one movie this year, anticipation. I got burnt on Force Awakens, Last Jedi. Yeah, I'm just, I'm not, I'm not even excited for it. You know, I'm going to be there day one. You know that. Oh, of course. You know, I still got my Chewbacca underroos and shit, so, you know, I'm going to be there. I'm wearing not even planned a Star Wars shirt and sweatshirt at the moment.

Nice. And as far as like TV, I want to see if this is the year that, I tap out of Stranger Things. Oh, I hope not. I'm with you, Brian. I, two, season two didn't really do that much for me. Yeah, and they're supposed to be time jumping in this, the kid, which is smart because the kids are, you know, growing. So this season, no take place in the high school.

Oh, shit. What about it? Anybody looking for to it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of good stuff. I forgot about it.

Wait, was that, that was 2017, right? Yeah. No, no, I mean, upcoming 19 For upcoming 19th. Yeah, I know. I just when you mentioned it, I was like, oh, shit, did we all just forget that one? Yeah, dude.

Was that what we're in the list? All right. For the moment we've all been waiting for, Brian. Lance, I want you to go last. Okay. Because I'm very interested in yours. I've got it down to a smooth five, man. Okay, uh, let's see.

Jay, kick us off. Okay, so this is just like, Hall pass for, it's not just horror. It's like women all over the place, right? We specifically did horror, but you know, you were last, last minute notice. I was, and these are like... We don't play by the rules around here.

Yeah, yeah, I hear you. You got any honorable mention? This is all over the place, so I think I only have like really one number one. So my kind of five through two is, it doesn't really matter. So number five, let's go with Zazzy Beats. Nice. Oh, okay. She looked great in Deadpool, too.

She did. I think we'll just read off her list. Oh, okay. Then number four is Barbara Mori. She's in a lot of novellas in Spanish and Mexican. She's hot as shit. Are you spell her last name? M-O-R-I.

Go look. Okay. I think everybody's Googling now. Number three, Tessa Thompson. Tess Thompson. Oh, nice. Hotel. Number two is, has anybody watched Vikings, TV show Vikings?

Yes, Catherine Hinnick. You nailed it. Yes, she was an honorable mission. Okay. And I'm not generally a blonde guy, too. So I just, you know, she's really out there for me. Number one now. So I even know this person, who this person was.

My daughters has started watching this show on Netflix called New Girl with Zoe Deschanel or whatever. But her friend, her friend, that's, she's like a model or something. Her name is, I had to look up her name, Hannah Simone. Good Lord, this one. Nice body, but just extremely beautiful. Wow. Yeah, she's got great features. She's like, like you can't tell what she is.

She's very exotic. I like it. That's what she is. She's a hot American. Oh, she's UK? Is she? British? Yeah, that could mean any, any, it needs your parents could have come from anywhere.

Wow, dude, I never would have guessed that. I mean, I'm Antarctic Americans. All right, that's my top five. Oh, nice pick. Okay. All right. I'm being educated. Mel.

Okay, so can I throw in a couple of honorable mentions? Yeah, but real quick, you can't save Michael B. Jordan for all five picks. Oh, don't worry. I had plenty of material to work with. Okay, okay. So my honorable mentions, just for like non-specific genre, I got, of course, Bradley Cooper. Hello. Also, Milo Ventimiglia.

I love him. We have a little brief cameo of him in Creed 2. Jack Pearson also, you know, he plays him on This Is Us. He's amazing. And my other honorable mention also comes from This Is Us is Sterling K. Brown, also from Predator, which I did not watch because I'd want to still respect him. The gum barrel. I'm really out of control.

I love him. Okay. So I tried to keep these genres specific or at least stuff that we've talked about. So my number five is actually going to be somebody that we talked to. And that is going to be Mr. David Howard Thornton. Super adorable young man. He's so cute. Yeah.

Like, not in his clown makeup, dummy. We don't judge here on the horror returns. You can add his clown makeup. I mean, I'm going to judge. No, I think he's such a cute guy. Like, when you look at his headshot and you see, like, how he transforms into this super creeper. Like, wow, that's amazing. He's an adorable human.

So, yeah, and he's my number five. Number four will be Jason Mamoa. I mean, because Jamesamoa. That's fair. I got to do this. You got no argument, yeah. You can't. You can't.

My number three is going to be Walking Phoenix. I'm super excited to see him in the Joker movie coming out. But I just, I love him. Also, he played my main bay, Johnny Cash. So he's always going to be

like one of my OG Hall Pass guys. Number two is, number two. too is James McAvoy, especially, yeah, like split, especially when he turns into the beast. Oh, my God, he's like all hulked out. Mm-hmm. That's right, James McAvoy. And I bet you can't guess.

Those cheerleaders. I guess you cannot guess who my number one is. That's just alone. You mentioned Creed, too. Look, you like old guys. That's okay. Hey, I do. I do.

But no, Michael B. Jordan is my number one. I mean, golly, like so many reasons. Biceps, deltoids, triceps. I mean, they're so great reasons. Oh, man, this just sounded like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I love him. And also, side note for all of our lady listeners, because, you know, we need more of those around here. If you Google Michael B. Jordan and puppies, God has blessed us with a video.

of Michael B. Jordan answering interview questions while cuddling puppies. And I literally was just having one of like a really shitty day one day. And I was like, I wonder if there's anything like any pictures of Michael B. Jordan out there with puppies. So I

Google Michael B. Jordan and puppies. And the Lord blessed me with this. And I felt like I didn't deserve it. So why does this exist? No. The FBI does not need to find Michael B. Jordan puppies on my phone. It's not going to happen.

Well, not my song anyway. So that's my list. All right. All right, Philip, give us your list. I'm going to go just kind of generic on, I mean, it still sticks to the horror genre, but over time. My number five is going to be Nev Campbell and Scream. Oh, okay. Always was a fan.

I know she's maybe hit hard times lately. I haven't seen them, but. You need a time machine. with this pick. Right. I hate her face. I can see that. But in her rhymes.

My number four is Jennifer Love Hewitt, same time frame. I know what you did in that summer. Oh my gosh. She's my girl crush, I love her so much. It's super hot, super hot. Number three is going to be Jessica Beal, Texas chainsaw a massacre.

and anything that Jessica Peel does ever. Not bad. Number two, I don't know what her attitude is like in real life. She looks like she's probably a bitch, but she is still smoking hot. Megan Fox, Jennifer's body. Okay.

These were all runners up, believe me. Yeah. Ryan, I'm going with you. I'm going with your comment. I don't like her face. It always looks so waily. Really? Oh, no.

It does. I love her face. She's gorgeous. She's got that scene, and I think it's in Transformers, too, which you just mentioned was the one of your words ever. Or she's like bending over the motor. Anyway. I got no argument.

Kind of a cool hand Luke throwback there. And my number one horror hall pass is Selma Hayek. She just stole Lancash. And she is still smoke. Can I, I'm sorry, can I interject a story? here really fast to do with Phillips list here. So okay, Jennifer Phillip Hewitt, I love her.

I love her. Y'all don't understand how much I love her. And y'all know, I used to have a nail salon. I did nails. I know. It's more just, yeah, anyways. So, one of my clients came in one day and

she had no idea that I loved her at all. Like, I mean, it's not like I'd just go around telling everybody, hey, I'm in love with Jennifer Philip Hewitt. You know, I'm not part of like a weird fan club or anything. But so she came in and she's like, she's this like older lady. Like she's really older.

I mean, she's probably half blind, but I don't care. It's fine. So she's like, now Melissa, I was at the hair parlor the other day. And you know what? I saw this TV show and I saw this girl.

And you know what? You look just like her. And I'm like, oh God, here it comes. Like, because I've heard some weird ones like, Molly Shannon,

Chelsea Clinton. I'm like, oh, great. What are you going to shut up to get about myself today? And she's like, It was on criminal minds. It was her name is Jennifer Love Hewitt. Y'all, I about cried.

I literally about cried. I'm like, what do you want, Miss Willett? Do you want a pony? Do you want free nails for life? What do you want? I'll give you anything. You've literally just made my entire life.

That's my Jennifer Love Hewitt story. Oh, man. I love the impersonation on that one. That was great. Yeah, yeah. That was the best part of that story. All right. My number five is Vera Formiga.

She was an honorable mention, dude. I swear to God, I had her on there. I swear I had her on this car. I love some. Love some beer. Yes, I agree. My number four is, she snuck in here because she was in one horror movie this year.

The only horror movie that I know she's been in, but when we did our review, our more retrospective of Happen Leonard, I'm very fond of her in her curvaceous, body and that is Christina Hendricks. I think it's the combination. I know it's the combination of her body

and that red hair. Yeah, it does it for me. Number three, my number one TV show of the year, Haunting of Hillhouse, Carla Gugino. Nice. Okay. Nice. My number two, I've always liked

her. She's a horrible actress. Horrible movies. And that's Megan Good. I don't know if you guys are familiar with Megan Good. Megan Good is hot as bulls. And Philip, throughout the night, I kind of feel like somehow you see my list. Right, for real. We've been on target.

Yeah, my number one, Salma High. Really? Ever since the Dust till Dawn when she danced with that snake, yeah, her toes in Quentin's mouth. She is my number one on my hall pass list. You know what's... I'm sorry, go ahead. No, go ahead.

You was going to say, funny about the dance with Salma Hayek. I actually... I actually liked the one from from Dogma. Yes. You know, where they're playing Candy Girl and...

Yeah. That does a little bit more for me from... She's got a little schoolgirl thing on. Yeah, the ponytail and shit like that and the little skirt. Yeah, that was... That was pretty good. She has no genitals in that movie.

Well, we... I didn't say. anything. I did not not. It was spoken. It implied. All right.

Lance. Yeah, my five are in no particular order. I'm not, you know, like going five through one

or anything like that, but we do not, we definitely, obviously, are all in agreement and we do not need a time machine for the current

modern day Salma Hyatt. She's definitely on there. Then I've got to put on, uh, uh, uh,

I hate to say, yes, she was in all 50 Shades movies, but God damn it, she's a really good actress in movies that are well written and well directed, but I've got to go with Dakota Johnson. In fact, I had to go back and rewatch the 50 Shades movies. All right, sorry, got to do it. Well, don't do it. She's naked in most of them. Well, that's fair. Then I've got no surprise, Zazi Beats. Nice.

She's got to be in there for sure. no surprise either probably that you guys know how much I love Blood Drive and the gorgeous Christina Ochoa Yeah I thought about it. Good call. And then finally rounding out the Rogue's Gallery here would

have to be because in all of her roles she's so geeky too she's not like just super fine but she's actually kind of like one of us and that would have to be Hugo Weaving's gorgeous daughter Oh wow, I forgot about her. So that rounds it out.

Oh, three billboards. Okay. Yeah, she had a small roll in that, but The babysitter. Yeah, the babysitter and Mayhew. Okay. Gotcha. Smoking hot and the babysitter. So, all right. All right, that's it. That's it. Last show of the year. Bad ass. So we want to thank you guys for all listening to

another episode of the horror returns. We'd love to hear your feedback and ideas, and you know where to reach us. Until the horror returns again, Jay. Good night.
