Greetings, victims, for those of you who delight and dread, who fantasize about fear,
who glorify goal, welcome, you have found a place where the horror returns.
Listeners beware
This podcast contains major plot spoilers
And the foulest of language
Join us
In celebrating the old and the new
The best and the worst
In horror
Welcome back one and all to the horror returns
I'm not Lance am I
Hmm, that's what it says on the script.
This is Philip.
Lance is out again.
But with me as always,
is Brian.
And tonight we're joined by a very special guest,
Chad C.
How's going, guys?
That's a man.
It's going good.
It's been a minute.
I think the last time I did a show with you guys was
last fall for the John Carpenter
Apocalypse trilogy.
So it's been a little while.
Yeah.
And you shame me for,
never seen an in the mouth of madness.
That's right.
I forgot about that.
Forgive and forget, Brian.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we'll jump right into Cool the week.
Chad, you've seen anything good this week?
Yeah.
So, I've got a couple here.
I don't know how many you guys want me to touch on, but I got like two movies and one TV show.
Yeah.
Many as you want.
All right.
Yeah. So for TV, I'll hit that first.
I caught up on the show Mr. Inbetween. Have you guys heard of this show?
I have heard of it.
Yeah, okay. So it finally wrapped. The series finale just happened like about a month ago.
It's a three-season show. It's an Australian show, but it airs in the U.S. on FX.
It is created and written by Scott Ryan and then Nash Edgerton, who is Joel Edgerton's brother, directs all the episodes.
It is a
He's a
Scott Ryan plays a character
named Ray Shoesmith
He's a hitman
It's a dark comedy
But he
He's trying to balance all the shit
He's doing
With these jobs
With his
He's got a daughter at home
His ex-wife
He's got friends
That got his shoes
So it's really just
Kind of slice of life
Dealing with this guy
And everything that he goes through
But it's a
It's super underrated
Man
It's really really well written
Scott Ryan's like a tour to four performance here
He's the reason alone to watch it
But I think if like
If you're a fan of like justified
Or Breaking Bad or any of these type of shows
I think this is right up
Your Alley
It's 26 total episodes for the series
And each episode is about 22 to 29 minutes apiece
Really really solid though
All around
I would give like the whole like three episode series
Or three season series
Probably like a nine on 10
Overall
It's really really solid
And then for movies, I've got a couple.
I've got Val, the documentary on Amazon Prime about Val Kilmer.
Either do you guys check this out?
No, but I've heard of it.
Yeah, it's on the docket, but I heard it's a little bit sad.
Yeah, oh yeah.
It's pretty fucking depressing.
Yeah, I mean, it's narrated by his son, Jack, who sounds a lot like him.
You know, go figure.
His son sounds like him.
Strange, right?
But, yeah, it's, it's, yeah, he, he, Valcomers apparently, like, compiled just hours and hours of footage, like, home movies for, like, 30 years.
Like, he just has a warehouse full of, like, just stock footage, like, 16mm film, 35 millimeter film, like, all this shit that he's just, he's just shot behind the scenes of, like, Top Gun and all of his movies and everything.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, it's really, really cool.
And it goes year by year kind of touching throughout his career and it deals with, like, how.
he was always had this label of hard to work with and touches with that and just a lot of self
reflection on this guy's acting career and kind of where he's at now and what uh you know his voice
is completely taken from him and so he's he's dealing with that it's really really really solid man it's uh
really really sad though like like brian said it's it's it's it's not uh i mean if you like val kilmer
even if you don't like valcimer i think you can get something out of this though it's uh it's it's
It's very, very solid watch, though.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't be surprised if this gets like an Oscar nod for, you know,
Beth's Doc come award season time, but it's very, very solid all around.
For that one.
I'll definitely get that out, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Best on Amazon, right?
Yeah, hour and a half.
Yeah, touched on Tombstone, too, a lot.
Yeah, hour and a half on Prime, Amazon Prime.
It's streaming now, but yeah, it's very, very solid watch.
All right.
And then.
The final one is Free Guy that is the new Ryan Reynolds vehicle that is in theaters right now.
Oh, I'm just.
Just got greenlit for a sequel.
Really?
Yeah.
How'd that happen?
It did well.
The first trailer for this, I believe, was like December of 2019.
So, I mean, you know, this dealt with a pandemic, getting pushed around release date.
But 20th Century Studios and Disney held firm that they wanted the releases in theaters.
and just getting a 45-day exclusive window.
This movie is just really a good time all around.
Like it sometimes, and especially like right now,
it's just a feel-good movie.
It's nothing really that you haven't seen before.
It's like kind of equal parts like Truman Show,
Reck It Ralph, Ready Player 1,
all these kind of elements thrown into this video game world.
But the cast is really, really solid here.
The CGI is actually surprisingly really, really well done.
a lot of cool cameos.
I just had a really good time.
It's not like the best comedy I've ever seen by any means.
But like I said, sometimes you just need a fucking feel good movie.
And that's really what this movie is.
So, yeah, I really enjoyed Free Guy.
So those are my cools of the week.
What about you guys?
Nice.
Phil, I only got one, so I'll go.
Okay, go for it.
Yeah, a busy week.
So just a lot of TV, trying to catch up on Shits Creek.
finish that series and a lot of Hell's Kitchen but Lance would probably be yelling at me
because he wants a definitive cool to week to put down and I'm gonna go with Marvel's
What If I really enjoyed the first episode um I liked the animation a lot it just seemed like a comic
book come to life and this first episode was uh if uh Peggy Carter took
the Super Soldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers.
Okay.
And I really dug it and I kind of want a Captain Carter series or live action movie or something.
It'll probably never happen, but I enjoyed the character that much.
So I would have to say that's my cool of the week.
That one's on Disney Plus, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've been wanting to check that one out too.
I just saw it today.
I sat down with my daughter last night and asked her if she's eight.
So this may not have been the best idea.
I asked her if she wanted to watch a scary movie with me.
And so we just went on Netflix and started screwing around and scrolled past the ritual.
And I know that I've seen it, but I don't particularly remember it.
So we watched that one together.
It's a creepy fucking movie, man.
I like it a lot.
The great creature design.
Yeah, that's the, like in the woods, right?
The, like, Swedish mountains or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, these four British guys go out into the Swedish mountains and run across some witches or an ancient god or something, whatever it is.
Yeah, it's a very, very heavy movie, pretty creepy.
and she handled it like a champ, man.
She did pretty good.
Nice.
I got a little horror fan of my hands.
Hell yeah.
And you mentioned Hell's Kitchen.
I've been watching Kitchen nightmares, man.
I don't know what it is.
I'll put it on to go to sleep.
Something relaxing about him yelling at people.
It really is.
I don't understand it.
But yeah, that's all I got.
We'll move on to horror headlines.
All right.
start with some TV news
Catherine Zeta Jones
and Luis Guzman
have joined Jenna Artega
for Tim Burton's
Adams Family series on Netflix
titled Wednesday
Oh
Okay
Is it animated?
It's going to be live action
Okay cool
Catherine Zeta Jones I like that
Yeah I can see hers
That pretty easily
Yeah
Goosbon is
Yeah I like Lose Goesbon
Yeah
Casting there
Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
Let's see here.
FX has already renewed what we do in the Shadows for our fourth season.
And yeah, the upcoming third season is coming out, I believe, early next month.
A couple weeks, I think, yeah.
Damn, I got to catch up.
That's good.
Anybody interested in the Alien FX series, you're going to have to wait until 2023.
I'm excited
Are you?
Yeah, I mean
It's kind of hard to get excited about them
Because you know,
Alien stuff is hit or miss
Yeah,
Yeah, that's the thing
I'm excited because out of Ridley Scott's hands now
Right?
I mean,
I don't get me wrong.
I love Ridley Scott.
Alien one and two are masterpieces.
Like,
I mean,
he created Blade Runner.
I fucking love it,
really Scott.
But the last couple of alien movies
have just left something to be desired for me.
So I think this whole property
in another person's hands.
And especially Noah Hawley, who, you know, Fargo is fantastic.
I've never, never completely finished Legion.
But regardless, I, I'm excited to see what this property is and someone else's, you know,
see what they do with it at least.
So I'm intrigued.
I'll put it to that.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
I was not like, ah, damn it, it is coming out later.
It's not necessary.
It's not like I'm pan.
I needed an alien show by any means.
But, you know, we'll see what we get here.
I hope it's awesome.
Yeah.
absolutely.
All right.
Bad Robots Company,
that's JJ Abrams company,
they were doing a
Shining series titled to Overlook.
HBO Max has passed on it,
but they are still making it,
and they are going to shop it to
other streaming services.
Wonder why they passed?
You never know these days.
You never know.
Streaming companies pass on things,
cancel things.
Yeah, HBO would have been a
Would have made me want to watch it more
I would like to see what Dr. Sleep has done
Like streaming for them or anything like that
Because I think that's on HBO Max
But it didn't do well in the box office
Because they just fucked the marketing up so bad on that thing
Like no one knew
Yeah, I love
I actually really really like Dr. Sleep
But it did like it
They could have you know
Tagline or not even tagline
The Shining presents Dr. Sleep or something
But no one knew what the fuck
Your general public audience
Outside of our little horror bubbles
and movie lover bubbles didn't know what the hell it was.
Like, it even was a sequel to The Shining.
So, yeah, that didn't help.
It's box office by any means.
They didn't do any favors either.
I think they released it two weeks after Halloween as well.
So it's like, what are you guys doing here?
Yeah, and it was going up against something that it had no business going up against.
Yeah, exactly.
The director's cut is even better, I think, of that movie, too, if you haven't seen that.
Oh, yeah.
I haven't seen it.
All right.
I think that's an option to watch on HBO Max, too.
Oh, nice.
good.
Let's see.
What do we got for TV?
Last little bit of TV news.
Stranger Things Season 4.
It's not coming out until
2022.
Okay.
But that's okay.
We're going to be like 25, man.
It's okay.
We're getting Cobra Kai in December.
Okay.
All right.
A couple of little things for movie news.
Shutter has acquired Eduardo.
I'm sorry if this is where
I start to butcher names.
Vittalettys, the last thing Mary saw,
which we're going to have a review coming.
They let me have a chance to check it out before it's released.
So look for that on Shudder coming soon.
Nice.
Robert Rodriguez has signed a first look deal with HBO and HBO Max,
and he is going to be targeting some of his existing properties.
So we're getting like three more Shark Boy and Lava Girl movies or something?
You know what?
I didn't even think about that, but that'll probably happen.
I know for sure we'll probably get some sort of continuation of Alita.
Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.
I never saw that.
Was it any good?
It was pretty good.
I mean, it wasn't nothing I probably would have been talking about at the end of the year.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I mean, it was entertaining enough.
I don't think I would ever watch it again, but I think the CGI and stuff is actually pretty decent in it.
I just couldn't get past the
fucking giant ass bug eyes that she
Yeah, I think a lot of people
Didn't know that it was
I believe it was a manga or
anime. Yeah, exactly. They weren't
understanding why she looked like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
But yeah, her eyes were pretty fucking big.
Yeah. Like
weirdly bug big, yeah.
And our last
bit of movie news,
uh,
filming has wrapped on
Making Blair as the toxic
Adventure remake.
Jesus.
The stars Elijah Wood and
Peter Dinklage.
Kevin Bacon as well.
Kevin Bacon, yes. Yes.
The villain is Kevin. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah. I mean,
I fucking love me some Toxic Avenger,
but this is like PG-13.
I don't know how I feel about it. I love making Blair,
but I'm just,
I'll watch the movie. I'll go in
with an open mind, but I don't know how
you're making Toxic Avenger or PG-13
property by any means i think that's where it kind of hooked me was making blair because i've pretty much
enjoyed everything he's been involved in absolutely he's fantastic and somebody said that peter dinklage
was the toxic avenger i believe so yeah oh how would it be it was like just a tiny toxic
adventure it's got to be he's got to be tiny toxic i think and then nobody acknowledges it we might
to throw that on the schedule.
I'm sold.
Have you guys ever touched on the OG Toxic Avenger?
It's, I've been, I have a list of movies that I keep for when we got to throw
something on the schedule and I just been waiting for something to pair it up with, but they're
doing a remake.
I said, yeah, you got your perfect companion there, yeah.
Yeah, I haven't seen it since I was little.
It's insane.
Lance is going to hate that episode so much.
And, yep, that is the news.
All right.
We'll head on down to the trailer park.
We're bringing you the big, the small, and sometimes the very, very weird.
Brian, what's our first trailer to talk about this week?
All right.
Our first one is a new Netflix series from Mike Flanagan titled Midnight Mass.
Let's see, quick synopsis, an isolated island community.
experiences miraculous events and frightening omens after the arrival of a charismatic,
mysterious young priest.
This stars Alex Esso, Kate Siegel, Henry Thomas, Rahul Aboori, Crystal Belint, Matt Biddell, and others.
This is, of course, directed by Mike Flanagan, Chad.
Making a call back to Dr. Sleep there, and director of Dr. Sleep.
Yeah.
Yeah, this looks interesting, man.
I've actually never seen
Haunting a Hillhouse or the
follow-up. They were on the docket
always and I just never got around to them.
That was great. Yeah, but I like Flanagan's
director overall. I think Hush
is a pretty decent movie.
But yeah, this
looks good. Like weird, creepy, culty
religion on an island.
I'm there for it all. It's like seven episodes, I think, too,
right around Halloween. It seems like perfect timing.
So, yeah, I'll definitely check this
out. Okay.
Yeah.
seven episodes.
I think I can be sold on it.
There was nothing really in the trailer that stood out to me,
but just given the director and the situation seven episodes,
I'll take a dive into this.
Yeah, Dave had me at Mike Flanagan.
He's, again, like Macon Blair,
I've pretty much been into everything he's done.
Really enjoy his wife whenever she pops up.
Kate Siegel, Alex S.O.
I like her a lot too.
Starry eyes. Yep, she was supposed to be a Texas
Frightmare, but I believe she was one of the many
people that had to cancel because of the
rescheduling.
So, yeah, definitely
going to check this one out.
This actually comes out
September 24th.
Yep, Chad, you were right, seven episodes.
Perfect.
Nice.
and our final trailer is
Nicholas Cage's
Prisoners of Ghostland
How many fucking movies is I going to do?
I did think it was funny in our group chat
that you're like, it's like five in the last few years
and I mean I think it's like five alone this year
It might be.
It seems like every couple of months
He's got some new random ass crazy fucking movie
He's got Willys Wonderland, Pig, and this alone this year.
at least.
Fives what's came out.
That's not how many he's filmed this year.
So you got some tax problems going again, or what?
I know he said he's not doing blockbusters no more.
Well, obviously.
I mean, like, as far as accepting roles, like, I guess this is what he wants to do,
these type of genre films.
I'm kind of okay with that.
Yeah, I think there's a handful hit or miss here with him.
I mean, I absolutely love Mandy, and we've talked about that before on this show when I've been on.
I love that movie.
Colorado Space, I can take it or leave it.
It was fine.
I never saw Jiu-Jitsu from last year.
Never saw Willie's Wonderland from earlier this year either, actually.
Jiu-Jitsu is so bad.
It's good.
Yeah, okay.
I haven't seen that one either.
That's on Netflix, I think.
Okay.
But like Pig from a few weeks ago, that's one of my favorite movies of the year, probably.
And it's like...
Mine, too.
Yeah, it's not...
Watch that one.
It's not even crazy Nick Cage.
It's nothing what you expect.
He's just, like, subdued, and it's, like, a really personal, like, hits you in the, in the feels, like, really good.
But, yeah, man, I don't, I've never actually seen any of this that this director is done.
He's apparently a pretty famous Japanese director who just does, like, crazy bad shit stuff.
And this movie looks pretty bad shit insane from the trailer.
Yeah, let me give the listeners a little synopsis.
A notorious criminal must break an evil curse in order.
to rescue an abducted girl who has mysteriously disappeared.
This, of course, stars Nicholas Cage,
Sophia Bettella, Nick Cassavetes, and Bill Mosley, I believe.
He's the villain of the movie.
Chad, you brought up the director, which is Cian, Sono.
Yeah.
Fucking crazy.
Explos his on his nuts.
Let's do this thing.
Yeah.
You just got to twist them a little, makes them bright and big and bold.
Yeah.
This looks interesting.
I'll probably watch it.
I mean, I don't know.
I feel like it comes out a couple weeks, too.
This one is September 17th.
This will be theatrical and VOD same day.
Okay.
Awesome.
Nick Cage has earned the right at this point for me to go, all right, Nick Cage is in it.
I guess I have to check it out.
Yeah.
And, of course, I like Sophia Batella.
I like, she's not been in everything she's been in hasn't been great, but I do like her.
And of course, you know, Bill Mosley, you know, Chop Top, Otis from Rob Zombie's Firefly family.
That's an interesting ad.
I'll take it.
You know about Nicholas Cage's, he's got a big movie.
It's a Lions game movie next year called the Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
Have you heard about this movie?
No.
I think I've heard of it, but I haven't really looked into it.
Yeah, he's playing himself in it.
So it's like, so the synopsis is a cash-strapped.
Yeah, a cash-strapped Nicholas Cage agrees to make a paid appearance at a billionaire superfan's birthday party,
but is really an informant for the CIA since the billionaire fan is a drug kingpin and gets cast in a Tarantino movie.
Yeah, it sounds fucking crazy, but like Pedro Pascal, Neil Patrick Harris, Tiffany Haddish,
were all in this movie.
What? Yeah.
It kind of sounds like that Van Damme series
I had came out on Amazon.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right.
He's playing himself.
Which is really fucking funny, by the way.
Yeah.
I never watched it, yeah.
Yeah, he's like really
the secret agent just posing
as a movie star.
Yeah, it sounds fucking crazy,
but I'm there for it. I'll watch it.
Yeah, Nicholas Cage has earned the right to at least
like on the docket.
Maybe I'll get to it eventually. Maybe I'll
watch it instantly, but eventually I'm going to get to that shit.
Nice.
All right.
Like I said, Prisoners of a Ghostland, September 17th, and I believe Marcy and B.
will be joining us for another Cage Rage episode.
Oh, sweet.
And that is it.
All right.
Well, on to listener feedback.
This week, the podcast Spotlight Shines on Heroes and Droids.
Brought to you by Grusome Magazine.
On heroes and droids, we discuss pop culture about superheroes, sci-fi, Disney, and action from Marvel to DC, from Star Wars to Star Trek, and James Bond to the Fast and Furious.
We will review theatrical films and streaming delights you care about most.
This week, we check out the Suicide Squad.
Not to be confused with the piece of shit one.
What did, Chad, you check out the new one, right?
Oh yeah, I loved it.
Okay.
That's great, right?
Yeah, because I'm just, there's been some people that are posting that the movie is complete garbage.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I don't know how this one got said to so much.
I want to ask them, did you watch the other ones since the titles are similar and you didn't know?
I think, I don't think that the OG one helped it, man.
Like, it didn't make any money, like, it made like 26 million opening weekend.
And it is like 10 times the movie as the, uh, David,
or one from five years ago.
But yeah, I think that left such a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
I don't think Birds of Prey helped.
I don't know about you guys feel about Birds of Prey, but I wasn't a big fan of that movie.
But I just like, it's, yeah, it's just built up to this.
And like this is a, speaking of what we were saying with Troma movies, like this is like
a big budget blockbuster trauma movie with fucking Starfish.
And I mean, it's bat shit crazy.
Yeah, man.
Lloyd Kaufman cameo.
Yeah, exactly.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I mean, James Gunn started out as a fucking trauma director.
Like, he'd worked with trauma.
So, I mean, it's, yeah, this is, I really, really enjoyed it, man.
I had a really, really good time with it.
It's super funny.
One of the more, probably the funniest movie of the year.
Yeah, I wish it, I don't know.
Even the streaming numbers on HBO Max didn't warrant, like, anything either.
I think Mortal Kombat beat it as far as, like, streaming goes.
And, yeah, that kind of says it all right there, because I thought Mortal Kombat fucking sucked.
But.
I don't know
Yeah
It wasn't great
And I have to say
Stallone
As the voice of King Shark
Was perfect
Fantastic
Yeah
That was probably the best part of the movie
I mean
Fucking Pocadai man's great
I fucking
Been seeing his mom all the time
He was a way better character
Than I thought he'd be
Oh yeah
We're still getting the
The Peacemaker
Series
that I believe they already wrapped filming that with John Sina.
Yeah, I think early next year.
See, I'm excited for that, man.
See what you want about John Sina is, I know Pete on our network has a big problem with it.
I don't know if you guys have listened to the Vengecast from this past week, but Pete just goes in on John Sina and how he's like, he's just the worst.
I'm like, I don't think anybody ever, like, made the argument that John Sina is an Oscar-winning actor, but he's kind of perfect for this piecemaker role.
He's a douchy character.
Like, it's played up.
He's hamming it up.
it really works for him.
So, yeah, I'm excited for the series.
Especially James Gunn directed most of the episodes, I think, too.
So, yeah, I'm there for it.
And eat a beach full of dicks for justice.
That's right.
Why the fuck wouldn't you?
Every one of them for Liberty.
The tidy, witty scenes, Grades,
he's fucking standing there all awkwardly.
Yes.
That's just racist.
All right. That was funny.
Okay.
We'll move on with the feedback.
We have some from last week's episode regarding Josh Hartnett's haircut.
Oh, Jesus.
Darren Wilson says, he mimed it.
He says, Barber, what kind of haircut you want?
Him.
Just fuck my shit up, fam.
I think we talked about his hair more than we talked about the movie.
Yeah, which was, you know.
It was kind of more interesting.
Vanessa McEnry says, as we referred to him on Devour the podcast, 8th grade haircut.
Yeah, I can see that.
Eight grade Karen haircut.
Al Ramsewer says, I know Nez probably already talked about it in East Society,
but that reservation dog show is good.
Funny as fuck.
Yeah, we...
We just dropped the episode, our stream fiends episode for sidekicks, and we talked about reservation dogs.
It's a great, great show so far.
Two episodes are out right now.
It looks funny.
It's a Tyca-produced show, right?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, fucking sold.
I love it.
I really enjoyed the first two episodes.
So I believe it's FX on Hulu exclusive.
So.
Yeah, awesome.
Definitely check that out.
All right.
We got a dark night of the podcast says we appreciate you sharing this.

But we got a couple of copies of...

Okay.
Yeah, we got to use our sled dogs to travel through the mountains.

A divorced woman and her diabetic daughter take refuge in their newly purchased house's safe room when three men break in,
searching for a missing
missing fortune
director is David Fincher
also known for Alien 3 and 7
that's a resume right there
that's always known for
what the fuck out of here
and some other stuff
writer is
David Cope
also known for at Jurassic Park
and stir of echoes
all right
this shot
of Sarah's medical
the shot of Sarah's medical beds
sliding sideways
along the floor outside
the panic room took
103 takes.
Well, that's what a good director does.
According to David Fincher,
Kristen Stewart grew more than
three inches during the filming of this project.
She was smaller than Jody Foster
when the production started and towered over her
when the final shots were done.
Probably took all them
damn takes.
All right.
All right.
What'd you think about panic room?
Fincher's not known as a director that's very easy to work with.
So I absolutely love Fincher, man.
What can you say about the guy?
He's, I mean, you said Alien 3 and 7.
Those are his first two movies.
But, I mean, Fight Club, Zodiac, Social Network.
I mean, the guy, list goes on and on this guy.
Mank from last year.
I know that's not the typical movie fans movie.
I fucking love Mank.
It was a fan.
But yeah, man.
Panic Room is
I think it's lower tier fincher
for sure. It's definitely in the bottom
bottom
third of the movies he's directed.
But that said, it's still a really
well-made movie.
I think a lot of the camera work in this movie is really
fantastic. He's got
a lot of the panning shots throughout the house
is showing, you know,
Forrest Whitaker when they're starting to break in.
Jody Foster, well, this was supposed to be,
Nicole Kibben filmed like three weeks of this movie
and then hurt her knee.
It was like, she was on Mulan Rouge,
and she had, like, a fracture in her knee,
and so they scrapped it,
and then Jody Foster replaced her,
like three weeks into the production of this movie.
Oh.
And then Hayden Panettiere was originally
the daughter as well,
from Heroes, remember her?
Yeah.
Yeah, so it was originally Nicole Kim and Hayden Panetier,
and then, yeah, Foster and Stewart popped up later on.
But, yeah, I like that original movie better.
I was going to say, would it be better or worse?
Probably better.
I think Nicole Kimman's a better actor than Jody Foster.
Better actress than Jody Foster.
I'll agree.
Yeah, I don't know.
With Fincher, I still think this is a pretty well-made thriller.
I don't think this is amazing by any means.
And like of the Fincher movies that I listed off,
I've seen this movie probably once, actually,
and I haven't really revisited it at all.
Watching it this week, I had forgotten really what even happened with it.
I think the performances are pretty great.
Dwight Yochum, as I watched this, I noticed,
He's like a human version of beetle juice.
He's just like, he looks like he fell on the ugly.
Sorry, this might, this is a mean.
He looked like he fell on the ugly tree and hit every branch.
I'm sorry.
Like, he just does.
Like, I didn't realize that's it was.
Why, Yolabhya, he's Raul.
Raul.
He's just a creepy-looking motherfucker.
Like, he really, really is.
Jared Leto is just so dushy in this with his cornrows.
I just don't want to punch him in the face.
I love him in this.
Yeah, he's just.
He's good. He's good. It's junior.
But I like this movie, all right.
It's fine. It's a fine watch.
What do you guys think?
What are your thoughts on this?
Yeah.
Oh, go ahead.
Yeah, I'm not...
I don't get sometimes the fascination with Jody Foster.
Hmm.
Like, she's all right.
I mean, she's been in some decent movies, but I don't know.
She just kind of comes off as maybe...
pretentious or something?
I don't know.
If there's something about her, I kind of just don't like.
I hate to say that.
But having said that, I think the movie's actually pretty good.
I enjoyed it.
It had its funny moments.
The camera work was, yeah, like you were talking about, amazing.
Like, they're turning sideways and going up the stairs
and doing like a half shot between the elevator
and the outside of the elevator and stuff like that.
That's all one continuous motion.
I thought the ending really sucked.
Yeah, and not great.
Like, that was, I think that was the downfall of this movie.
It had a really shitty ending.
And it was kind of a bland story.
Yeah.
But the actors were great.
I thought Jared Leto was awesome in it.
He was really funny.
He had some good moments.
Forrest Whitaker is always awesome.
Dwight Yoakum.
Yeah.
It didn't click. That's who that was.
And then you said it and I was like, oh, yeah, how could I forget him?
This thing.
He's only got in a couple of movies.
Yeah, he has a sling blade.
He acts him a lot, quite a few things.
Yeah.
But I liked the chemistry between the three villains for a moment there.
There was like a, they're like on the way up the stairs or something.
And they, I think it's when they first see.
or something.
And it's a shot that pans down at them.
And it looks like it's just straight out of a comic book the way that it's set up.
It looks really cool.
It was a decent movie, man.
I'll take it.
Yeah, I agree with you guys.
This is probably mid-lower tier of Fincher movies.
Definitely has that Fincher style when you're watching it.
You know he directed it.
Jody Foster's fine
Probably as far as Kristen Stewart
One of her most enjoyable
Films I've seen her in
I'm not a big fan of her
You don't love New Moon
Brian
You don't like Twilight New Moon
Before you said
When you just said New Moon
I was like I don't even know what you're talking about right now
Twilight man
It's the second new
God look at the fucking
This is when she could still keep her mouth closed
I don't know
she's scenes where she's just sitting there with her mouth open.
But of course,
love Forrest Whitaker, Dwight Yolkham,
who I will now always think of Beetlejuice when I hear it.
So I thought Jared Leto was,
he played that douchey role perfect.
Oh, perfect.
He's a douche in real life.
So he plays the douchey characters so well, right?
There were a couple of aspects of this.
I wish they would have just kind of gave us a little bit more on.
uh,
Fortis Whitaker's,
Fortis Whitaker's motivation.
Yes.
Like earlier in the movie,
you say,
they say you need the money.
And then later on,
he kind of mentions his kids,
but not really.
And I just felt like he was a way too nice of guy
to even be doing this kind of thing.
So I kind of wanted to know what was your motivation.
And,
um,
another thing I didn't quite get is,
uh,
when she, Jody Foster's character, Meg, was it Meg, Meg Altman, was looking at the apartment in the beginning and they shut the door to the panic room and they made you kind of think that she has a problem with in closed spaces, which later on when she goes into the panic room, that's not the case at all.
Yeah, they mentioned it one more time in the whole movie.
So I don't know if this was an aspect of the movie that was with the original people that were.
cast and they kind of changed it.
It just, it just kind of threw me off.
They just, she just led you to believe that she had some kind of, was going to have a
panic attack being in the panic room.
And that did not come back at all.
How much fucking money does this lady have, man?
That house.
It's all her husband's money.
Yeah, it's all that, the hobbies.
That house in New York has got to be millions.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they, they mentioned it.
Somebody asked if her mom's,
rich and she's like no my dad is she's just pissed off so yeah yeah and and clearly the first time
i watched this movie too i never put two and two together that jared letto's character junior is
clearly one of the the kids of the when they're talking about yes uh at the beginning yeah yeah
and that the first time i just did not register this i'm like oh okay so he has a motive okay oh yeah
it's his parents that they're fighting over and they even mentioned they can't well yeah they
don't but they're like they can't find half it's when they're
doing she's doing the tour of the place you're like her kids can't find the rest of the money so yeah clear
the money's in the bottom of the panic room they're waiting for them so yeah i guess i just didn't
realize that the first time clearly this like i said this is i think i've seen this movie maybe once
possibly twice and i mean i love finch is one of my favorite directors but this is like one of the
blind spots of his uh filmography for me for sure yeah and yeah it was a good it was a good rewatch though
I had forgotten a lot.
All right.
I think we're ready for scores.
Yeah, let's do scores.
Chad, one to ten.
I'll give this a soft seven.
I think it's pretty harmless entertainment.
I mean, it's like an hour of 50 minutes.
It's not like anything you haven't seen before,
but like it's still a pretty decent, like, tight thriller.
Performances are pretty good all around.
You get fucking Dwight, Beetlejuice, Yonk.
Just fucking hamming it up here.
Just looking ugly as sin.
Yeah, I give it a soft seven.
You're a fucking bus driver, row.
Yeah, I think seven's pretty on the mark for this one.
Because it is sort of one of those movies that you've seen a hundred times.
But like, a little bit better.
It stands out more than that.
Yeah.
I think Fincher is the reason for that, right?
He kind of makes it stand up.
out a little bit more, yeah.
Yeah, but it is just kind of a,
there's not really a ton of plot.
No.
And the ending was like,
not satisfying at all.
It's like they just ran out of money
and ended the movie or something.
How fucking old is her husband?
Yeah, no shit.
Yeah, she's pretty old.
And then he went and got him a younger woman.
Well, you can do that when you're rich.
I guess.
Well, and then, yeah,
To pull back there, when she calls him, it's Nicole Kidman on the phone.
Really?
Yeah, so he kept her in the movie a little bit with that.
He's like, bitch, put her on the phone or put him on the phone.
I'm not talking to Nicole Kimmer that way, Jody.
So, I mean, man, it would have been really interesting to see it with Nicole Kidman and Hayden Penitieri.
Yeah, it would have been a different movie, but yeah.
I like it.
All right, Brian?
Yeah, I go with a seven.
I think originally I had to set a seven and a half, but like I said, there was a few parts of the movie.
I wish they could have just gave you a little bit more of or kind of dealt more deeper into.
But yeah, lower, small, seven, almost six and a half.
But it's a decent little home invasion movie.
Yeah, it's pretty harmless.
For that genre, I think it's pretty well in there.
That's good.
Decent movie.
generic movie with the good director
yeah absolutely
which i mean fincher's never written like any
fucking movie like that's not his thing he doesn't write
he's a director he's a visual storyteller
so he's good at that
all right
uh on to don't breathe
to
uh hiding out for years in an isolated cabin
uh norman nordstrom
has taken in and raised a
young girl orphan from a house fire.
Hold on, that's his name.
Norman Nordstrom?
Yeah, Norman Nordstrom?
Because they list ahead of him in the credits as the blind man.
Yeah, he's both.
I take it you haven't listened to.
All right, here you go.
Let's start this now.
So Lance, your guy's buddy,
did a commentary with Pete and I
on binge this past Wednesday
for the original Don't Breathe.
That's on our network.
It's available now
on our main feed for you all to download listen.
But yeah, we talk about that a lot on that podcast because they didn't know that either.
They're like, Norman?
I thought he was the blind guy.
It's like, no, his name's Norman Nordstrom.
Norman Nordstrom.
Well, my name is Norman Nordstrom.
I'd probably be one of known.
I want to be known as a blind guy too.
Well, to each their own, I guess.
I don't know.
All right.
Well, their quiet existence is shattered when a group of kids.
kidnapper show up and take the girl, forcing Norman to leave his safe haven to savor.
Director and writer is...
I don't know how I feel about that.
The description?
The Norman Nordstrom.
Oh.
Yeah, not quite as intimidating.
Director and writer is Roto.
Iguise.
Also known for screenplays of
Evil Dead and Don't Breathe.
I remember having a problem with his name the last time, too.
Contrary to the first film,
Don't Breathe, the main character changes from a villain to an action hero.
All right.
Chad, what did you think about it?
All right.
I really enjoy the first Don't Breathe.
I think it's a pretty fun little movie.
It is.
Yeah, it kind of came out of nowhere.
It didn't expect much out of it.
And then it made all the money.
Like it was made for $9 million.
It made $26 million opening weekend.
Five years ago, came out five years ago, 2016.
Oh, exactly.
And then it went on to make like $180 or something like, I know, $157, I think, internationally,
on a $9 million budget, which is kind of surprising that it took five years to make this sequel, right?
Because, I mean, the first kind of leaves it, like,
leaves it a little bit open in it, but not necessarily anything clamoring for a sequel.
Yeah, I kind of didn't think there was going to be one.
No, yeah.
And then while you're watching the marketing for this movie, you're like, all right.
So now he's a good guy.
Wait a minute.
This rapist motherfucker is, what are we doing here?
I had a decent time with this movie, man.
It is definitely not as good as the first at all.
I think the first one is kind of head and shoulders above this.
But I think if viewers go into this movie accepting it for what it is,
which is just a, it doesn't make Norm Norman, Brian, your favorite, Norman.
Yeah, it doesn't make, yeah, Normie, Normie.
Look out for Norm.
We talk about this on the comment.
He's a little bit like Placy, Placy, quiet place.
He's a, he can't, he can't see.
So he's just attacking off instinct.
So he's a little bit of Placy from our binge.
into commentaries for
yeah I had a decent
time with the sequel it's not as good as
the first by any means
it's the body count is ramped
way up in this movie
and they make him more of a
almost like a supernatural
type he gets fucked up though
by these these uh all the
people that break into this house they're like
ex-military so they're no slouches by any means
and there's some creative kills in this movie enough
but it it's
the tension, the claustrophobia of the first movie is not really here at all.
But if all that aside, I still had a pretty decent time of this movie.
What did you think about this movie, Brian?
I don't know.
I'll just see what you thought.
I can't say I'd enjoyed it as much as you did.
Okay.
I really had a problem with them trying to make him a good guy.
Yeah.
And it was like my problem with the green night
How
That guy
I don't want to get on the green night again
I don't know I didn't like you on that one
Yeah you can't be a good guy
I thought shit
I listened to your guys podcast from last week
And I thought that like from what you guys were saying
You guys go all give it like a six and a seven
I was like wow I don't think I don't think they liked it that much
I think they were lying about their ratings
I visually
Oh 100%
You know it's
It's what you expect from A24 is just how they portrayed the character.
Yeah.
I just, same way with this movie.
I just, I can't, I could not get, I couldn't get behind him.
Yeah.
I knew what kind of a person he was.
And this was, of course.
You cannot rape people and be a good guy.
Yeah.
This, this, this happens after the first movie.
So you know what kind of, you know, I mean, he's a fucking rapist, you know,
give a fuck if you didn't force yourself on women.
You used a fucking turkey baster.
I couldn't get behind it.
I felt the tension wasn't really there as it was in the first one.
I think it was just because they were trying to up the body count with all the different,
I guess ex-military people.
Some of them I kind of question if they were ex-military,
like the Marshall Mathers looking guy that kept calling everybody bro.
He got his, yeah, he's the one from the trailer that gets his mouth and nose super glued, right?
Yeah.
Let's just kind of just leave his mouth that.
way for the rest of the movie.
I was a little disappointed in some
of the kills. There was
a few moments where something's
about to happen and they just cut away.
I hate that
so much.
I get that in a PG-13 movie.
I never really understand that in our movies why you do
the little cutaway scene there.
I did think the
actress, what was her name? Let me try to look at it out real quick.
They played the daughter.
Yeah.
Can't find it right now.
Madeline Grace, I thought she did pretty good in this.
You know, I've never seen her in anything.
I don't think she's really been in anything.
But I thought she did a good job in this.
But I thought I thought the villains were just generic.
Very much so.
The twist at the end, I had already figured it out before it was revealed.
Oh, okay.
it just
I don't know
this was a complete
drop off from the first one
I don't know if that had to do
with Fete Alvarez
taking a step down
from directing it
and letting the writer
take the reins
I don't know
but I was really looking forward
to this one
and I was kind of disappointed
Yeah
I see I just didn't have that high of expectations
because I thought
yeah I thought pulling off a sequel
anyway was hard enough
so I'm like all right
I'll go in very
reserved. And yeah, you're 100%
right. The villains are pretty
generic. I actually didn't really see
the twists coming. Because yeah,
it's the same as the first man.
They do subvert the ex-but, like,
he's a good guy, kind of. He's
eight years after the original. He's living
in seclusion, and he's got
this little girl now, of course, you have this weird
thing underneath. But then, yeah,
it kind of flips it, but
the villains definitely are generic
and they don't really stand
out. But for me, I just kind of took this more as like, I don't know, he's making more of like
Norman. That's his name. Yeah, he's a horror icon now. Making, yeah, it's kind of making
Stephen Lang, this Norman character kind of like stand out as like a horror type icon. You know,
getting him like this, he's got two, he's got two sequels now for this, this franchise. So,
and we talked about that a little bit on the commentary. It's like Stephen Lang, it took him a long time
get clout really or anything in like hollywood because i mean avatar is really his like big standout
i mean he's in tombstone and stuff and throughout but like avatar and then this are like his is
fucking two big roles and of this millennium at least um yeah yeah so i don't know i i i didn't have
any really expectations for this i kind of went in very low and it was entertaining enough for me it
It worked fine.
Definitely not even anywhere on the first level.
The first movie is way better than this by far.
Like, not even close.
But I had a decent enough time with this.
I don't know if I'd really revisit this at all.
But I had, it was fine, fine for what it was.
Yeah, that's kind of where I stand.
But yeah, are you excited for this at all, Philip?
Or like, where do you stand with this?
No, man, I kind of wasn't.
Yeah.
I did enjoy the first movie.
but I didn't get a chance to watch this one.
Sorry, guys.
I got the kids this weekend with me.
Oh, that's fine.
Mama's out of town, so I didn't have any place to leave them.
Probably did something better than watching this.
Huh?
Probably did something better than watching this.
Well, yeah, sounds that way.
But, yeah, and I mean, I was sort of excited about it because Stephen Lang did such an awesome job in the first one.
But then, yeah, it seemed like such a different movie.
and you know
we got to get out of this habit
I think of just
oh well if this movie made money
we should make a sequel of it
because it just
cheapens the whole fucking thing I think
that's not how studios work though
I know at all
they say oh wait
there's any potential for a franchise
let's go
just keep running until the souls of the shoes are gone
that's right exactly
exactly
Well, this one took a big chunk out of it, I bet.
I can't imagine it made a ton of money.
Yeah, I think it's on track for like a $10 million opening weekend.
So in a pandemic time, it's not great, but not completely shitty.
I can't imagine this was made for a ton of money.
Yeah, well, maybe we'll get a don't breathe three and then that's it.
Apparently there's an after credit scene that I did not stay for, though.
Okay, I'll talk about it in spoiler.
You stayed for it?
Okay.
Yeah.
What's your score, Chad?
I would give this a soft six.
Six on ten.
All right.
Like I said, I didn't enjoy it as much as you.
This, for me, is an easy four on ten.
Oh, what did you see?
A not good one.
Normally I line pretty much even with Brian.
All right.
Well, let's go into spoilers and see what I missed.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
This is a motherfucking spoiler alert.
You've been fucking warned.
All right.
Yeah, like I said, I cannot get past the fact that he's a rapist.
And now he's a abductor of children now.
Well, because he rages and steals children.
He's a good father.
It's your next action here.
Okay, this kid has nothing to do with anything from the first movie.
He just fucking finds this kid on the street who wanders out of a burning house and keeps her.
The CG at the beginning of this movie is so bad, though.
It is awful.
Have you seen, do you remember seeing that, Brian?
Like how bad it was?
Yeah.
Or noticing it?
Yeah.
Like, is this out of a, like, a Nintendo 64 video game?
Like, what is this?
Yeah, it's pretty rough at the beginning of this movie.
It was just a test.
Yeah, that's why I was asking, you know, did they kind of take a step down with FedA not doing this movie?
I don't know.
The quality seemed to not be there.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure this is way, way cheaper too, yeah, because it was all filmed in the last year, I think, too.
So, yeah, I can't imagine this cost more than like $8 million to make.
Yeah, and, yeah, Marshall Mathers, Eminem, as one of the ex-military guys, I just, I couldn't with this.
this guy just like the blind man's getting away bro he's over here bro and when you find out the
reveal of what they really want with the girl i just i don't know because i felt like i didn't know
if they were trying to kill her throughout the movie or if they were trying to kidnap her what was
you know it was like the all the military guys weren't on the same mission yeah no yeah yeah
well the yeah well the the other one's like uh i'm not forced to
that and he he helps him out too
so so who was she
you want us to spoil it yeah
we're in spoiler territory oh okay we are
so so
norm
comes upon this girl phoenix
norman norman Nordstrom
get it he he names his daughter
or his abducted daughter he names her phoenix
yeah oh okay because she comes from a house fire
comes from a little meth lab meth lab fire
yeah that's true
And she's got a little white strip in her hair,
kind of like Gene Gray, Phoenix,
kind of turns into it.
Get it?
Oh.
Phoenix.
Yeah, there you go.
And it comes to find out that the guys that are coming to a break in his house
is Phoenix's father as part of the group that's coming to grab her.
And they have ulterior motives.
Yeah, they have ulterior motives behind it.
He was in jail for the last few years because his meth lab explosion.
and then it kind of ramps up from there.
Was the meth lab explosion the reason that the house was on fire and he found the kid in the first place?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
That makes sense.
So.
Does he still have a woman locked up in his dungeon?
No.
He has a new house.
He doesn't have a dungeon.
Yeah, he found hers like an eight-year-old or whatever she was.
She was primed and ready already.
So he had a new daughter.
Yeah.
And the reveal at the end went, is the reason why the father was trying to get her back because she had thought the mom had died in the fire, but it turns out the mom had lived, but she needs a new heart.
And it has to be from an exact donor, like from a family member.
And it was just kind of sitting there.
And I kind of pointed it out.
My wife had pointed it out before me.
She was like, they're going to, because there was this kind of news thing going on.
a TV about a doctor that was
harvesting organs on the black market.
And then you kind of catch a glimpse of him
at the hideout because their hideout
is like an abandoned hotel or something.
And I'm just like, how's gonna take this girl's organs?
So he was trying to steal his daughter's heart.
For the wife.
That is completely the opposite of what any man
on the face of the planet would do.
Well, and she's also, well, she's the cook.
So she's the cook of the meth lab.
So if they don't have her, they don't have product.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Outside of the little girl, there is nobody to root for in this.
And they give Stephen Lang this moment at the end where he's just like, after he's murdered
everybody and he's telling the girl, oh, you need to get away from me.
I'm a bad person.
I was like, you don't need to tell us that.
we know you're a fucking horrible person
and I just
I don't know and then one of the best
death scenes in it was ruined by him
I guess using his
quote unquote catchphrase
the now you'll see
what I see as he's sticking his thumbs
into somebody's eyes
so I
there was not a whole lot I liked in this movie
yeah it's not it's not
it's not as good as the first okay
just I feel like if you go into this movie
just say throw the first one out because it's not going to be as good as that.
Well, because see, when I was going into the first one, I was like,
oh, well, this looks like the same movie.
I've seen a hundred fucking times.
And it was not.
And it was better.
Yeah.
You've never seen a turkey baster full of jazz shoved in someone's throat before.
With that random hair in there.
A couple.
There's a couple hairs.
And even with them sneaking around Norm,
when you when you got to what was it like two three people in the first one that was in the house
just just the just the visuals and the mood just you kind of you felt everything you know
it was just so dark and just quiet and this one claustrophobic yeah you feel
this one was a little bit more lit and a lot of more open places yeah this is a totally
different movie than the first I mean yeah it's just it's not the same thing it's not claustrophobic
it just ramps up it's very uh I don't know
if it suffers from sequel ideas. It sounds like
Brian thinks it does, but it's just
way more amped up like
way more intense, like,
not even intense. It's just, it's just
a more straight horror
villain slasher type sequel.
Like, body counts
wrapped up, all that shit's ramped up.
It's not very much, no, no,
the claustrophobia of the first is not here.
The first one is head and shoulders
above this movie, but yeah, I mean,
it's not the same movie at all.
But Norman is like our hero,
in this one, right?
He gets a fucking action hero
montage of him getting his weapons ready
to... That is true. That is true.
He finds
the hideout.
I gotta watch it just for that.
He finds the hideout by using
their dog that they left behind.
He puts a leash on him and tells
him to go home.
He's like, go home.
It walks him home.
I love that this shit, though.
Love them dogs.
But yes.
A montage of him getting his machete and his, I guess, bug bomb canisters.
I'm glad he knew what they was just by feeling the can.
Yeah, good point.
I had braille on it, Brian.
Stop.
Okay.
How dare you?
It seems like that could go very wrong with a prepper.
All right.
I don't know.
You got anything else, Chad?
I got nothing in.
Okay.
All right.
Don't breathe too.
Maybe not so worth it.
Sounds like a watch free guy.
This is the shortest episode of the horror turns ever.
I'm looking at my Skype and this is one hour or two minutes right now.
Oh, wow.
It, you know what?
It seems when Lance is not here, it goes a little bit quicker.
I'm not saying anything towards Lance, but...
Well...
I know once you brought up CG, Lance would have...
Lance is stuck on the CG fire from Escapers.
room too so oh yeah oh like escape room too no okay I think this movie is way better than
escape room too at least yeah I would definitely put this above escape room too not that's saying
much I walked out of escape room too I was like life's too short for this and I just walked out
I did see jungle crews though I'll throw that in there that's an extra cool the week I heard a lot
of people weren't buying elizabeth blunt and the rock is love interest
Um, they didn't have a ton of chemistry, but they were great individually and together.
I, yeah, I thought that movie is fine.
Like, yeah, it's another fine movie.
Like, Blunt is, uh, she's an actress, man.
She's, I think she's a very much, a very charismatic actress as well.
Like, and she just works.
She's one of my favorite actresses for sure.
I think she's great.
I like her.
I like The Rock.
I like the story.
Chemistry.
Mm-hmm.
Is, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, maybe I didn't buy the love.
interesting but they definitely still had some
like friend chemistry at least
yeah
to uh to bring it back
to earlier you were saying

or your kid um

or what is it next week uh next week
I don't even know oh we're doing

Same.
Chappie in District 9, Blom Camp.
Yeah, Neil Blom Camp.
There you go.
Also, yeah, the guy who directed the ritual, his new movie, his name is David Bruckner.
His new movie, the Nighthouse comes out next week as well from 20th century.
It was at Sundance in 2020 with the girl from the town.
Why can I think of her name?
Rebecca Hall.
Yeah, Phil, it's the one she was in Godzilla versus Kong.
one I didn't really buy as a scientist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So that's next week.
And then that guy's also filming the new Hellraiser movie as well, David Bruckner.
So.
Okay.
Yeah.

Be like, oh, this is the shortest horror returns ever.
What the fuck is Chad doing on this show?
