Regings victims, for those of you who delight and dread, who fantasize about fear, who glorify gore, welcome.
You have found the place where the horror returns.
Listeners beware.
This podcast contains major plot spoilers.
and the foulest of language.
Join us in celebrating the old and the new,
the best and the worst in horror.
Welcome back, everyone, to the horror returns.
We're missing Lance today, but we got a great replacement, Tavares.
Thank you for showing up.
No problem.
Thank you all for having me.
And of course, Brian's here.
Tavarice, you want to shout out your stuff, man, student in the game and all that?
Oh, yeah, yeah, Student at the Game Podcast.
You can find us on TikTok.
I've been doing a lot of TikToks lately,
so hopefully y'all find those entertaining.
YouTube and Apple Podcasts, a Student at the Game Podcasts.
And, you know, we're talking about, well, it's football season.
We're going to be talking about football and upcoming NBA season,
and we're going to be doing some movie reviews.
Got a movie review for the long walk coming up pretty soon in the next couple days.
So, hey, check us out.
All right.
Sounds awesome.
Well, you want to start us out with Cool the Week?
Anybody got anything they want to jump out there with?
Let's see.
Go ahead, Tom Fires.
All right, yeah, I have a couple things on my Cool other weeks.
I've been watching a lot of stuff lately.
One show that I'm really feeling is Alien Earth on F-A-Buddy.
Yeah, I'm four episodes in with about four and a half.
And, like, it doesn't feel like a typical.
a show like each episode it almost feels like a mini movie yeah you know and it's like to me i
felt like it's a lot of pressure to do a show like this off of a franchise that means a lot to me
like aliens because i'm very critical on certain things in the aliens movies because i'm a big fan of the
first two and i think they do a real good job of expanding and letting informing us about that whole
universe and stuff. And, you know, in the show, it's a lot of unknown, a lot of unknown actors for me
on the show, but I think they do a brilliant job. I thought they did a hell of a job at picking
the talent of the show. And one of my concerns was, is that if this is going to be one of those shows,
well, okay, say, Ellie and Earth, are they going to just talk about xenomorphs, or are they going to
also show them in there? But also, they show the xenomorphs and they show the facehuggers. And I'm like,
Okay, all right, this is, they put a lot of effort and I'm not sure what they budget was for this show, but it doesn't look like they went cheap on it.
You know, it looks like they wanted to, it almost feels like the plot of Alien Earth, maybe it could have been a movie, but they said, you know what, let's just keep all the stuff that probably would have been deleted footage or something.
I'm playing with Alien Earth right now is that it's the once we think.
Oh, okay.
I'm like, ah, fuck, man.
I can't believe his episode's over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they leave you one more.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, there's definitely some plot holes.
Yeah.
You know, there's some things where I'm like, but why are they doing that?
You know what?
Never mind.
I'm just enjoying the show.
Yeah, yeah.
And I love it.
I love the main girl, like the Android chick.
She's super cool.
Oh, yeah, she's real good, man.
You know what?
And I did find out that's, um,
the actor of Kyle Chandler,
Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights,
that's his daughter.
Oh.
Yeah.
Look at that.
She looks a little familiar,
like maybe I've seen her somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is the first show I've seen her own,
but I'm like you, she does look.
She might have played in something four or five years ago,
but she,
well, I'm not sure how old she is,
so she looks like she might be like mid-20s.
Yeah.
But you know how some of them,
like if you go watch something that there was in like five years
ago they may look actually like a teenager or a middle school or something you know so yeah but yeah
i'm not sure what else she was in prior to that but she's carrying it and timothy oliphon is fantastic
then that's his name i couldn't now i'm about to say josh jose dummel i know they look the
same yeah yeah man yeah that's what i'm like i'm like man yeah i know that's not josh but i'm like he
looked like Josh.
And one of them, I think it was Timothy O. Plent.
He said that when he ran into Josh one day, he said, man, people be mistaking me for you
and stuff.
And he was like vice versa.
So they played a trick on Josh's mom.
They had Timothy take a picture with Josh's current wife and kids.
All right.
And they sent it to Josh's mom.
And it was like she doesn't even, she didn't even spot the difference.
You know, she got the picture up in the living room and missed up.
And one day he had to tell her, he said, Mom, well, you know that's not me.
And she was like, no, that's you right there.
You know, so mom had to put an extra glasses on and be like, oh, that's not you.
So. But yeah.
Oh, yeah. Missed opportunity.
If they haven't done a movie together, man, where they brothers or twins or something.
Yeah.
I love that dude and everything that he's in.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's definitely my cool with a week, too.
That and I watched Landman finally.
With Billy Bob Thornton?
Yeah.
He's great in that show, man.
He has the perfect, like, country comedy thing going.
Yeah.
It works.
I like it.
Okay.
Yeah, I like Billy Bob, man.
I see clips of the show.
Because the same people who made Yellowstone, the guy who made Yellowstone made that, right?
Yeah. Oh, and that's another one. That was going to be my cool of the week last week,
except I didn't make it to the show was, uh, uh, God damn it. What was that movie with Jeremy
Renner and they're up in Wyoming and it's in the snow.
Oh, river or something. Yeah.
Wind River? Is it Wind River? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was also a Taylor Sheridan thing. And a lot of
those guys are also in Yellowstone and a lot of those guys are also in Landman.
Okay. I've heard good reviews on that movie. And I've,
I've seen a few clips.
They got a good cast in there.
It got Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olson, John Bernthal in there.
Yeah.
But yeah, that's been on my list on Netflix,
but I just hadn't had a chance to watch it
because I was like, man, that movie,
it looks good based off the trailer by itself, man.
I think his other show starts up again this week, Tulsa King.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, okay, with Sylvester Stallone?
Is that Netflix?
Is that Taylor Sheridan, too?
Damn.
Yeah.
And Taylor, you know, I didn't realize because let me see, last week, Kim Cokes, the actor who played Trigger, Tigger on Sons of Anarchy, he was doing an interview talking about Taylor and stuff.
And because he had mentioned, you know, when, you know, when Taylor left Sons of Anarchy, you know, I'm like, that dude was on Sons of Anarch.
And then they showed his face. And I'm like, oh, he was the sheriff. They got killed like in season.
I think it's beginning
season two or season three.
You got dragged by the car?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm like, and I'm like, oh, that's the dude that's been all over the place.
Like, like, because every time I see his name or whatever, it seems, you know,
Yellowstone, the Yellowstone spin-offs and all this, the landman and stuff.
And I'm like, man, it makes me think about a Zoolander when Mugatu kept saying,
and Hansel is so hot right now.
I'm like, man, Taylor Sheridan is so hot right now.
He's all over the place.
You know what I'm saying?
And I'm like, that's that dude right there.
Because it's another, it's a movie he directed with, I think it's with Chris Pine and
what's the actor.
I think his name is Ben Foster.
It's like kind of a Western Bank Heist movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I forgot.
I haven't had a chance to see it, but it's on my list.
but it like the reviews for that is like 98% or something you know so I'm like man this dude
he's killing it man yeah definitely check out wind river that's that's a fantastic one that was that was
my second watch and it just it I didn't realize all these people were in it that were from yellowstone
and I was like oh that's that chick oh that's that guy yeah yeah also he he's doing kind of like
the um the adam sandler thing where it's like we got a lot of those same people in his
movies and stuff.
Oh, yeah.
And Adam Sand, the longest yard.
I watched that over the past couple weeks, too.
That's a great one.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, I could never get enough of that movie.
Man, that's a classic, man.
The casting in there, like, the mixture of having all these athletes and wrestlers and
stuff on there, man.
And the fact that I think that's the only time.
Yeah, that's the only time we ever got, like, we never got to see Goldberg versus
Stone Cold in the ring.
but we get to see them on the longest yard.
You know, that was about the closest thing,
see them on screen together, you know.
Yeah, I'll take it with Michael Irvin out there.
Oh, yeah, man, Mike, man.
I remember when I saw that movie, I think it came,
did he come out like an 05 or something like that?
And I'm like, man, I'm like, the playmaker still got it.
It was that one pass where he went to the tribe,
when he went to the tree out and jumped up and he caught it with one hand.
And I'm like, all right, playmaker.
said still smaller shit.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, man.
But yeah, what I loved about that movie, too, man,
is that Sean Salsbury, he worked with Adam Sandler to the point where he actually,
they actually had him, you know, that wasn't no stand in.
That was actually Adam Sandler throwing those passes.
So I thought that was cool, you know, like to take time to do that.
Because it's like, I mean, they could have easily put somebody to come in and quarterback
for him.
but the fact that he was able to learn enough as far as the QB mechanics and be able to execute that.
I thought that was brilliant, man.
Yeah, look pretty good playing basketball too.
Oh, yeah, for real, man.
Some people, man, like, when they get out there, you can tell, man, that dude can hoop once he started playing.
Because I'm like, okay.
Like, it was one move he hit Michael Irvin on.
He hit him.
He crossed it in between his legs and brought it back and pulled up.
And I'm like, oh, I'm like, yeah, Adam can hoop.
Yeah.
He got some game, man.
That wasn't no, that wasn't no, you see movies sometimes,
they'll show the actor pulling up for the jumper,
but then they'll zoom out on the shot.
And it's like, that's clearly not that same act.
Completely different person.
Cut away.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
That's what I'm like, come on, man.
You know, so it's like, you know, I thought that was cool, man.
That was cool, man.
I love that movie.
What did you got, Brian?
Yeah
Current with Alien Earth
You guys
Like where the later episodes are gone
Alright
Yeah I was mad at where the last one ended
I'm like I need more right now
And I think
Next week is the final episode
Oh shit
Okay
Okay
Okay so I don't have a lot of episodes to catch up with
Because what's that like episode
Is it 10?
It's seven
Okay
Yeah, no, there's going to be eight episode seven's out now, so.
Okay, okay.
Still watching, I talked about watching The Walking Dead with my daughter.
I'm doing a re-watch.
She's doing the first time, so we're working away to season four.
All right, all right.
She's quickly learning, don't hold on to characters that you think are going to be around a while.
Yeah.
So.
That's true.
So y'all entering season four, so are they, they're still in the prison then, huh?
Right now, right?
Where we're at, they just left.
They just left?
Okay.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
I was happy they left that damn place.
Yeah, they was there too long, man.
Yeah, Rick.
We got to get some crops.
Come on, y'all.
Man, yeah, they was there too.
Yeah, she thought that was weird, Farmer Rick.
Yeah.
It was right after he, we got crazy Rick, seeing his dead wife everywhere.
and then all of a sudden he's
farming pigs and
planting crops and
yeah let's see
checked out a few movies
a couple of indie ones
Brute 1976
Brute okay
This one that is
Takes from the devil's rejects
The Hills Have Eyes
Texas Chancesall Masker
puts it all into
one movie and that's
the problem with this movie
It borrows too heavy
To where it's not nothing original
Yeah
And I don't know if I just got a copy
Where it was edited
But there was the kills work
There was a lot of off-screen stuff
Yeah
And there was a there was one kill
It was weird
It was a guy in an outhouse
And he looks over
And he sees a hole
I'm pretty sure you guys
Are familiar with a glory hole
Oh no
he sees a finger sticking in inviting him so you know you you already see where it's going
and on the other side somebody has a drill
they put a black bar over what's going on
really yeah yeah i didn't understand why why even have it in the movie if you're going
to censor like that yeah yeah that's so they must have been like that
Not that I particularly want to see it.
Yeah.
But if you're going to do that scene, you know, you might as well commit all the way to it or not do that scene at all.
Because it's the thing I remember most about the movie.
And they just completely censor the whole thing.
Yeah.
So I can't recommend Brut in 1976.
One I can recommend that it does borrow from other movies is a movie called Diced Reloaded.
It's a new slasher movie.
It definitely takes inspiration from Halloween and terror fire.
Okay.
The difference with this one is it shows the kills and they're all practical effects.
So it's basically the same premise as Halloween.
Someone young does something when they're young gets sent away to,
an institution. Flash forward to this
person in institution. He's this big
hulking man
that wears his mask and
somehow escapes
and goes on a killing spree.
Oh man. And
you're going to want to watch this one for
the practical effect kills.
So that one I do recommend.
All right. What was it called?
Dice reloaded.
Where is that? Where did you
set in? You got a rented
Dice reloaded.
So is that a sequel?
I think it's a
I think originally it was a short film.
My next one I found on Hulu.
It was a,
it's labeled as a horror comedy,
but it's kind of light on the horror.
It's called I Don't Understand You with Nick Kroll.
Oh, okay. I like that guy.
Yeah, he plays this guy.
Oh, the comedian Nick Kroll?
Yeah, him and his husband
go on a trip to
Italy
they're doing the
you know
tasting the food and all that
and they get a call from somebody
who they're trying to
hopefully adopt their baby
it's Amanda Siegfried
and she says
she wants them to adopt her child
and so life is good
life is great
and they go
have dinner at this farmhouse
because it's supposed to be authentic
Italian cooking
and the old
old lady that's cooking for them ends up dying.
And they're worried about
everybody thinking they killed
her and they're trying to cover it up and which
leads to chaos
and event after event
things happening. And the movie's called
I don't understand you because
everybody around them
neither doesn't speak English
or speaks very little English.
So it was
pretty decent. It had some laughs there.
Nick Crowell's funny.
The guy that played his husband was funny.
Amanda Siegfried's in the movie for maybe like two minutes.
It seemed like maybe she wasn't busy on a Thursday and filmed some scenes.
So that one's on Lulu.
That one I recommend.
And my last one I'm going to talk about is a movie I missed a few weeks ago.
I wasn't able to see when we did it.
And it's Switchboard, the remake.
Oh, yeah.
it was okay
yeah
it was way better than I thought it was gonna be
yeah
the effects were cheesy
but it was cheesy
in a good way
I like the setting
I like the
the not making it a
a Ouija board again
kind of doing something
making it like an ancient
basically like the
inspiration for the Ouija board
artifact
yeah
yeah
and I thought the main girl
did pretty good
there were some good effects
in there, there were some bad effects in there.
So is that a new movie?
Yeah.
Yeah, they did a remake
of Witchboard.
That was the thing that happened.
Yeah.
So I think out of those,
I think I had to go
Dice Reloaded as well cool.
Okay.
And you say Dice Reloaded, you say to remind,
I know you said it reminded you of Halloween,
but what was the other movie you said it reminded you of?
also?
Just the way he was doing the kills.
It kind of reminded me a terrifier.
Okay.
Terrifier.
Okay.
All right.
Hey, that's Michael Myers and Terrifier.
What's Terrify?
What's the do name?
Art.
Art.
Art.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can't go wrong with that.
Let me see.
I had two more on McCool of the week on.
Oh, my bad.
I mean to cut you off.
No, it's okay.
Hey, we got lost in alien earth, man.
You know, so can't get that short, man.
But it's, um, you, season five on Netflix.
I'm on, that's the, that's the, that's supposed to be the final, final season of the series.
I didn't know.
That was still going.
Yeah, it's about eight episodes.
Yeah, yeah, they did.
Well, season four ended in, in like, like late 20, 23.
Well, no, like it's like in spring of 2023.
So they've been on like a two-year hiatus on it.
So, but I wasn't a big fan of season four.
That was the worst season to me.
But season five is, it seems like it's more redeeming.
They added a new cast member.
Madeline Brewer, she was on, what's that, what's the show?
I don't know if you watch Handmaid's Tale.
She was on the Handmaid's Tale.
She was the one who had like the, she had the eye patch or whatever.
She just had one eye.
But she's, she's brilliant in there.
And Joe Goldberg, I mean,
character that man is it's almost like you know you got to end it at five seasons because it's like
how much stuff can this one dude just get away with you know before it becomes too ridiculous
but um that and my final one was um it's a new show called the girlfriend on amazon prime
it stars um um robin right you know um the main villain from forrest gump she's known as
the main villain from forrest gump is genie yeah jenny and um
Yeah. And Olivia Cook, Olivia Cook was in, she was like Norman Bates girlfriend in the Bates Motel series. Yeah. And she's also told her, she's cute. She's in House of Dragon as well. Yeah. But she's brilliant, man. The whole premise of the show is her boyfriend, like him and his mother, speaking of Bates Motel, they have like a relationship that's pretty cringe.
like the Norman and Norma Bates or whatever, you know, but it's just ridiculous.
Like the mom, she's kissing him on the mouth and all this stuff.
And I'm like, but the mother-in-the-girlfriend, they go back and forth each episode doing petty stuff trying to want up another.
So it's more of a, it's more, I guess you can call it like a little thriller, comedy or whatever, you know, but it's pretty good.
They unloaded all the episodes.
So it's just about six or seven episodes.
So I'm on episode three.
So pretty good show.
Pretty good show.
Good watch.
But that's it for my cool little week right there.
All right.
Brian, we got any news?
Got a little bit.
Kind of light on the news this week.
First, we start with AEW wrestling star Maxwell Jacob Friedman.
It's the latest to join the cast of Violent Night 2.
It's kind of getting into the acting thing.
We last seen him in Happy Gilmore, too.
He was the eldest son of Happy Gilmore.
Oh.
The bigger one.
Oh, okay.
He was beating up his brothers with wrestling moves.
I wouldn't know him a person.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's a fan favorite in AEW.
He's kind of like if his contract was up now and WWE would have the opportunity
to sign him they would.
Okay, okay.
Plays the bad guy very well.
Oh, hey, but that's a good thing.
That's a good thing.
You know, a lot of times, like, everybody, like,
it seems like everybody always want to play the good guy,
but they can't play the good guy, like, good all the time.
But when you can find somebody that can play the heel,
like, that's why we used to always love about Triple H, man.
Like, Triple H to me was one of the best heels ever,
and it's like, I remember there was one point of time with Triple H.
This was like in 2001 when he came back from like an ACL injury.
He was huge and yoked.
And people was cheering for him.
And I was like, man, I'm glad he's back, but I missed the villain triple H.
You know, so when he went back into villain mode, I'm like, all right, you know, that's,
some people are just destined for that role.
So if old buddy could continue on being a villain, should.
Yeah, he might get the WW
pretty quicker than, you know.
Yeah, he even uses,
he even uses his promos.
Oh, yeah?
Like, when he doesn't get his way, he's just like,
I'll just go sign with the other company.
All right.
Let's see.
Paul Walter Houser,
everybody knows him as Stingray from
Cobre Cay,
old man in Fantastic Four.
He is the latest to join
Zach Craigers' Resident Evil movie.
Are they making another Resident Evil movie?
Yeah, the guy that did, directed weapons and barbarian is directing President Evil.
Okay.
So is this one, okay, so a couple years ago, they did like a reboot of Resident Evil, so is this going to be-
Starting over.
Okay, all right, cool, cool.
All right.
Yeah, I like that.
Yeah, because I scrolled across like a Resident Evil, like, series, and I was like, nah.
on Netflix.
I don't really, yeah, I don't really remember seeing a whole lot of good stuff about this.
I think that one got, as soon as they dropped it on Netflix, it immediately got canceled.
Yeah.
They have a Resident Evil, hold up, a Resident Evil series?
Yeah, on Netflix, it wasn't good.
I tapped out like two episodes.
What was it?
Is it, I'm not familiar with that.
Is it animated?
No, it's live action.
Really?
Yeah.
So they, yeah, no.
I figured I would have heard more about that.
That's how good it is, Tavares.
You never heard of it.
But that's crazy.
Because see, now, so maybe I got it mixed up.
So did they not do another Resident Evil live action movie that didn't have?
A couple years ago.
Okay.
So they did the live action movie and the series.
Yeah.
Okay.
Are they connected?
No.
They just kept doing their own things, kept putting out.
I think they were even putting out.
like animated movies that were not connected either.
Okay.
I see some of the animated movies, but I didn't know they had a,
they did a live action series.
I don't see how they keep getting that wrong with Resident Evil, man.
I don't get that.
Yeah, hopefully Zach Craigger gets it right.
You know, we all like weapons.
We all like Barbarian.
And everything I read, he seems to be a big fan of the game.
We're up playing it.
So, okay.
So that's, that's important.
That's good.
I hope's for that one.
Yeah, for real.
Because you have a, with all the games they have,
you have a lot of source material, you know, to piggyback from.
So that's why it trips me out when people,
when they're making a Resident Evil movie or a series or something,
and you're not utilizing the highlight points from the game, you know.
Like I thought one of the biggest fumbles,
well, let me see, is it Paul Anderson or Paul West Anderson?
which one that did the Resident Evil movies.
I'm sure everyone has married to Mila Djokovic.
Yeah, yeah.
And I love her character.
And I thought it was risky to do it that way,
but I thought she was badass in all the movies.
So I'm cool with her,
but I never liked how they did the Nemesis character.
Because that character in the video game scared the crap out of me, man.
That was the first time where I played a video game where you see a bad guy right there.
And normally, if you want to just leave the room, you can leave the room and they don't follow you.
And you can take a break, regroup yourself before you go fight them.
But no, with Nemesis, you exit the door.
He follows you.
So that right there, you know, and he was just so hard to kill.
And so I'm like, he's hard to kill in a video game.
But in the movie, y'all only used them one time and he got killed off.
You know, so that's what I'm like, oh, man, they missed opportunity on that, man.
They could at least did two more movies with Nemesis in there.
All right.
Let's see.
Just when we thought we were done with Insidious, Insidious 6 gets announced, release date
August 21st, 2006.
Wow.
And they're bringing Lin-Shea back again.
Maybe it's time to stop.
Wow.
They got six.
It's six in Citi.
movies?
Yeah.
I think I stopped after the third one.
I stopped after the third one.
Wow.
I don't think you're missing much.
Yeah.
They should have stopped after.
What was the last one we reviewed?
The Red Door.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Should have stopped right there.
Oh, wow.
And our final report,
the thing we're going to report on,
is not set in stone,
but it's being reported
that from deadline
that A24 is
close to securing a film and TV
deal for Texas chainsaw
massacre.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
A 24, Texas chainsaw massacre, I'd watch that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, so does that, would that be a series or a movie?
I think
what is rumored to be happening,
if they close this deal, they'll have the option to do a series
or a movie if they want to, or both.
okay they'll have the rights to do both all right all right so it looks like we're going to be getting so we could we could potentially get a texas chainsaw series and i know they're currently shooting the um what is that the the friday the thirteenth series the prequel series that'll probably be wrapping up soon yeah and i heard rumors of a potential Halloween series i think but um i'm not sure which characters they're going to
be covering on that.
Yeah, the only thing I heard about that is that they're scrapping everything and the series
would take place after the original movie.
Okay.
Everything, everything, all the timelines that we watched over the years would be nothing.
Oh, man.
It seems like every five to ten years they do that.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
I don't hate it.
That's the news.
All right.
Let's head on.
down to the trailer part.
Bring you the big, the small,
and sometimes the very, very weird.
What do we got today, Brian?
We got the latest installment
of Netflix Monster Series
with the Ed Gein's story
starring Charlie Hunnam
and Aunt Jackie
from Roseanne as Mother Gein.
Is that Charlie Hunnam?
Yeah.
Oh.
Fons of Anarchy?
Yeah, that's Jacks.
You know what?
I watched that trailer twice, and I'm like, who?
I'm like, who is that dude?
Yeah, he looks familiar, but you can't quite place him.
At first I thought he was Ben Foster, and then it was one part.
I'm like, he looked like Heath Ledger, but I'm like, this can't be an old Heath Ledger movie.
He's passed over 10 years ago, and I'm like, wow, that, why, that's a hell of a transformation.
So we'll start with you, Tavar's.
what did you think about the trailer for the series,
about the character that basically inspired so many horror movies?
And key words, you said, inspire,
because I'm looking at this trailer.
And at first, I'm like, okay, is this related to, like,
Texas Chainsaw Massacre or something?
Because there was a scene where in the trailer where he had, like,
a shelf where it had different faces on it.
It looked like he had cut the faces off.
And then, yeah, and then he had another clip where he had the face and a wig and he was dancing.
And I'm like, that instantly reminded me of Buffalo, was it Buffalo Bill inside the Lamps?
And I'm like, okay, so maybe this is a prequel to Buffalo Bill or something.
And then after the trailer, I went in, I went and looked at like what the show was about.
and was crazy. I still didn't realize it was Charlie Hunman because I didn't even look at the cast.
And I'm like, oh, this is, this story, this character, this guy here, his story inspired Psycho and Texas chainsaw Masker and Buffalo Bill and others.
So that's why I'm like, wow.
Because it mentioned like in the casting, it said somebody's playing the director, Alfred Hitchcock.
And I'm like, yeah, okay, because I'm like, okay, so I guess they're going to talk about the whole inspiration with Psycho.
But yeah, it's, I'm shocked that this is straight to Netflix.
This looked like something that should be released in the movie theater.
I mean, based off the trailer alone, I mean, but yeah, it looks real good.
I think if the trailer, if the show is as good as the trailer, I don't know, man.
I think Charlie Hunman, I mean, I think we might see him.
nominated for like an Emmy for Best Like TV movie or something because that does not that looks
nothing like him that looks nothing like him so that's what I'm like okay and it looks like
like he's going to kill this role literally and figuratively so yeah but I liked it what you think
Phil yeah I'm I'm a little amazed it took him this long to do an Ed Gein's story um I'm I'm super
stoked about it and I like the other monster series that they've done on Netflix with uh uh
Jeffrey Dahmer and the
Menendez brothers one was all right
I mean it was at least entertaining
but the Jeffrey Dahmer one was really good
I'm hoping they really bring it home with this one
yeah I'm watching it just like Tabar said
the transformation Charlie Hunnam did
you know but obviously like makeup
and what they'd done to his hair
and he's doing a voice that is nowhere
near what his real voice sounds like
or what jazz sounds like.
Yeah.
And never, I know the person, Ned Gein,
but I never really got into the story,
and I've heard so much about.
So it'll be interesting to see what this man's life was about.
He inspired so many characters in horror history,
so many movies.
So, yeah, I'm down for this one.
And we don't have long to wait.
It will be on Netflix.
October 3rd.
Sweet.
Yeah, I'm glad they kind of warmed up with a couple of series before they did this one.
Yeah.
So hopefully it should they hit the ground running.
Yeah.
All right.
Our next one is The House Made.
Horror.
Well, not horror.
Mostly thriller.
The latest movie where they tried to tone down the look of Sidney Sweeney.
Put glasses on her.
I told my daughter they did the movie thing.
All they need to do was like put her in a ponytail.
Yeah.
This is directed by Paul Feig.
You might know him from bridesmaids and a couple of other comedies.
Really?
Oh, okay.
This also stars Amanda Siegfried and Brendan Scalar, Schellner.
The only thing I know him, I know he's like in Yellowstone.
one of the spin-offs, but the only thing
I remember from is when we reviewed that movie
Drop.
Yeah, okay. Oh, that's it. Okay. I remember
him. Okay. Yeah.
He seems pretty good. Plus,
Amanda Seafrid and, you know,
I, like,
you can't go wrong with those two.
Oh, that's right. You know, in the trailer, the whole time,
I'm thinking the husband
in this trailer, I'm thinking that's
I thought that was Clint Eastwood's son.
Is it Scott? Oh, Scott.
Yeah, I thought it was him. But, okay.
All right. Now that you said the movie Drop, now I have a reference point where I remember, what's you said? Brandon. Is that his name?
Brandon Sclanar. I don't know if I'm pronouncing his name right.
Yeah, you know, he's been rumored to, for Batman. Yeah. I can see him being Bruce Wayne. Based off what I saw he dropped. I can see him playing that part.
Yeah. So, Tarvarez will start with you.
all right well when i saw that sidney swiney was in here i'm like
sydney she's all over the place like yeah she's the it girl yeah it's like
like what's crazy like the past year and a half i think it feels like every couple months there's a
trailer with either sidney swenny or glen paul in it and i'm like i'm like i'm like okay
i'm like they did a movie together yeah they did a movie together i'm not sure how good it's
did, but I mean, I remember her in Euphoria, and I thought, you know, I thought she did a brilliant job.
You know, she was, I would classify her as kind of like a scene stiller in that show because she was more of a supporting character.
But then in the second season, they elevated her to more of a number two or whatever.
But I don't know.
I think she's okay as far as acting, but I mean, hey, I think she has potential.
The trailer, let me see.
I love Amanda Seifred.
I think she's a brilliant actress.
I think on this movie here, I can see,
I remember when the movie Jennifer's body came out,
and the hype was all about Megan Fox and Megan Fox,
and then you watch the movie, you realize like, man,
Amanda Seifred, like, to me, was running circles around
Megan Foxy and acted in that movie.
I mean, I don't know if she took it personal and said,
I'm going to bring my A-game,
but I got a feeling based on.
off this trailer, Amanda Seifred is going to be bringing her A game on this too. But I'd have no
idea what the hell is going on in this movie because I'm like, normally we watch movies like this
where you got the young, pretty looking house sitter. Like normally is somebody that's sent
from an agency or something, but it looks like Amanda Seifred. Looks like she sought out her.
And they show clips. It look like, I don't know if this is illusions or not, but it looked like,
okay, the babysitter was messing around with the husband and stuff.
So I don't know if that's hallucinations or something.
It wouldn't surprise me if it is.
But also, maybe it was a bad idea to hire a young hot nanny.
Yeah, yeah.
But it seems like the wife, the mom, she did this intentionally.
And it got me thinking, like, is this going to be something like on, like on Skeleton Key
or Get Out where they bring in the young person?
So they can swap the body or something, you know?
Like maybe the mom, the wife is like sick.
So she's going to, she picked her Sidney Sweeney to maybe switch her spirit into or something.
So, but it, I don't know.
It also reminds me of it's an old movie, what lies beneath.
I think that's the name of it with Michelle Pfeiffer for back in the election for.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm like, it's a lot going on.
but I would just have to watch the movie
because I don't want to do too much research on it
and then I figured out the plot.
But based on the trailer, I mean, scale the one to ten,
I get the trailer eight.
I mean, it looked pretty suspenseful and intense.
So I liked it.
Okay.
What's your talk about?
Yeah, I'm definitely down.
Sidney and Amanda Cepridor are fantastic.
And put them in a movie together.
Can't go wrong.
But yeah, like, I don't understand the context.
because first of all, my wife would never hire a young hot nanny.
And if she did, I would have to fucking hear about it every day.
I would pull my hair out.
I like the fire.
I don't give a shit.
Yeah.
But they always do it in the movies.
So we'll see where it goes.
Yeah, I'm, I'm interested because of who's in the movie.
But as far as what's going on, I'm a little confused on who.
supposed to be the bad one
the way the trailer played.
Yeah.
Because it was kind of going back and forth.
Not Sidney, I think.
Yeah. Or that we don't know, maybe.
Yeah.
But as far as like Sydney Sweeney movies,
I'm more interested in that Christy Martin movie.
She's playing the boxer.
Yeah, that looks good. Yeah, that looks good.
Yeah, because she did a transformation too
for that one to
played Christy Martin, the
famous female boxer.
Yeah. He's got some acting
chops on her. Yeah, that one
I'm a little bit more interested in this one, but
we'll end up watching it. That one comes out
just
in time for the holidays, December
19th. Oh, okay.
Oh, man. Perfect holiday movie.
Perfect Christmas movie, yeah.
And our final
trailer, Phil, you said
you had the song stuck in your head all
the whole time after you watched it.
The movie we didn't think needed to be rebooted,
but it did Anaconda, starring
Jack Black, Paul Rudd,
Sandy Newton, Steve Zahn,
Daniela Melcher,
a whole bunch of other people,
and this is directed by
Tom Gormickin,
not familiar with him,
Phil will start with you since you got the song stuck in there.
Yeah, my Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, huh?
They were playing it in the background of the trailer.
I was like, this is great.
I like the direction that they're taking where it's not just a remake of the movie.
They're like making a remake of the movie.
So like Jack Black is supposed to be directing it.
And like Paul Rudd's helping him out.
And so they're trying to film this anaconda movie from what I gather.
And then Paul Rudd accidentally kills the anaconda that they get for the movie.
So they have to go find one.
And it's a wild anaconda that just starts eating people.
And it looks hilarious.
I love everything about it.
Like I didn't know this was a movie that I needed.
And I sort of rolled my eyes before I clicked on it.
And after I watched the trailer, I cannot wait to see it.
Yeah, I like that scene of the bank because they,
need what, $2.2 million?
Yeah.
We can give you a loan of $9,000.
Very real, realistic.
And it just immediately cuts to them, like, in the jungle filming.
Very realistic.
Toboros, what do you think?
Yeah, it threw me off.
Like, I remember hearing about Anaconda remake.
And I was like, okay, cool, let me see the cast.
And they had Jack Black.
I'm like, all right, you need a comedic person in there.
And then I'm like, Paul Run.
I'm like, you're going to have both of them in the movie?
I'm like, so how serious is this movie going to be?
I mean, and watching this trailer, seeing what they was doing,
I instantly had a callback to Be Kind Rewind.
I'm like, are they going to do a Sweden version of Anaconda or something?
And I'm like, okay, and I'm like, this will work.
I'm like, all right.
And then once the, the, what,
you call it the the fake anaconda gets destroyed i'm like oh i see what they do they're going all right
they're going to be flipping it on us okay now it's going to be a real one i'm like okay i mean it's
it's going to be entertaining man because it's like to be honest with you i don't even know
how you really have a legit script when you have paul rudd and jack black in the movie together
that's a good point it's going to be a lot of improv in that and what better thing to improv
off as a dog on anaconda, you know?
So I'm like, oh, they're going to kill this, man.
I saw in the comments, a lot of people,
they was comparing it to Tropic Thunder as well.
Yeah.
And I'm like, okay, I can see the vibes on that.
And I'm like, yeah, this is going to be insane, man.
I can't wait to see this.
I'm like, and it's like, it has me wondering.
I'm like, I'm going to watch this movie.
I'm going to be like, I wondered by the end of the movie.
am I'm going to look at this as like a horror movie,
kind of like what the original intended to be.
Or is it going to be more like a,
I don't know, like a, more like a comedy,
but I'm like, it's just hard for me to take Jack Black and Paul Runt,
both of them in their serious.
I mean, you know, like, I remember Jack,
we talked about Jack Black recently.
Last time I was on here, we was in,
I know what you did last summer too, you know.
And he was,
he was quirky in that
and even his death was quirky
but Paul Rudd though
what I will give him credit for I think he has
the ability to
he can be comedic but I think
he can be very very serious as well
because I think about him
the first movie I saw him in
like it wasn't clueless it was
Halloween the curse of Michael Myers
and
like and I'm like man
this dude here
it wouldn't shock me if he played a serial killer in the movie after I saw that movie.
But then his roles after that was mostly quirky comedic roles.
So I'm like, I don't know, maybe once the movie gets very, very serious, maybe Paul Rudd starts becoming like very serious and more of a, shoot, this might make him more of an action star.
I mean, I know he's done the Ant Man movies, but even in Ant Man, he's, I don't take him serious at Scott Lane.
you know, he's still Paul Rudd, you know.
So I can see him flipping that switch in this movie,
but I can also still see him not flipping the switch and just being Paul Rudd.
But it looks real good.
And Phil, yeah, that song was in my head too, man.
That was the perfect song.
Like, I love it when in trailers, when they get the music right,
because I feel like that sets the tone when you're getting ready to watch the movie.
Because see, now when you get ready to watch the movie,
you're ready to bypass the trailers.
You're ready to get, get to the anaconda.
That song is going to be in your head, man.
So, yeah, but I liked it.
I loved it, man.
Scale the one to ten, I get that trailer a nine, man.
Yeah, it's for sure going to be a comedy.
They're going to drop it under the shit out of this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's like, like, well, I watched the first two Anaconda movies growing up at the movie
theater, but then the other ones, I think they went straight to release on sci-fi.
didn't take them real serious when they was on sci-fi.
It's like, okay, I just want to see the snake to do this thing.
But, yeah, that might be the right way to go with this franchise
because it gets to a point where it's like even the originals,
it got to a point people wasn't taking those sci-fi and a condo movie series.
You know, they was just like, all right, man,
this is just so ridiculous that it feels like a comedy.
Well, even the first one's a little silly.
first one had such a great cast
I know yeah
Jennifer Lopez
John Boyd oh yeah
Owen Wilson
yeah I forgot he was in it
you know what
and see
that's the only thing I felt like
that was missing on the trailer
I'm like so who's gonna be like
the John Voigt of it
because I'm like when in the first one
the whole crazy accent
he had and it's like it's just
his facial expressions in that
first one man john boyt it was just like
it's some people you meet it's like even when they're trying to be nice
they just look so malicious you know and it's like he shows up in the movie yeah
you probably will yeah you got to man you got to so yeah so i think it's cool i'm looking
when does it come out this is uh christmas day
25 that's a christmas movie all right
I'll be going to the theaters to see this one for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, for real.
That's a perfect Christmas movie.
We got two of them so far.
All right.
That was our final trailer.
We had more trailers this week, but probably should have had them on because I didn't
know news was going to be so light, but we'll talk about them next week.
Well, hey, let me ask you all this.
Did you ever talk about the Marvel Zombies trailer?
Did you all cover that one yet?
No.
No, I haven't seen it.
I am down for this one.
I've seen it.
Okay.
Yeah, what you think about it?
I love what they're doing.
I think with what we've seen in the trailer and hopefully what we get in the series,
I hope this fast tracks Blade from it happening.
Yes.
That final scene in the trailer with Blade was awesome.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It was amazing, man.
Just too bad it wasn't voiced by it,
Herschel Ali.
I know, right?
It's like,
now...
Have they already filmed it?
The movie?
Yeah, Blade.
Film nothing.
They don't even have a script.
All right.
Yeah, they can't find a...
They can't seem to get the...
I don't know.
I don't even think they even have a director yet.
I don't know.
They'll say they have a director,
and then months later,
director leaves,
talk about creative differences
and stuff like that.
But then they'll get another director
than the writer will leave.
It's just back and forth.
Yeah.
And that's what I'm like, man,
like y'all could have,
because they announced he was going to be Blade back in 2019 before COVID.
Does a comic come before COVID?
And I'm like, you know what?
Y'all would have been better off just letting Wesley Snipes do like an old man
Blade movie or something and then bringing him or Hershey.
But I heard that Kevin Faghyg, he said that right now,
that's on their.
list. It's a priority now.
And I'm like you.
I think after this series concludes,
I think it's going to
spring some momentum towards the Blade movie.
Because that whole scene where he was just
slicing and dicing the zombie-fied ghost,
dude, I must have watched that
probably about a hundred times
that day that trailer came out because I'm like,
keep it simple.
That's all I want to see Blade do.
It's like, pull his swords out and just
kill those fuckers and throw some one-liners out there.
You know, you can make any vampire movie you won't.
Just add Blade in it.
That's how you make a Blade movie.
Like in the movie Cinners, like Der Roy Lindo was going to be in Blade,
but he left and he went enjoying sinners.
And a lot of the.
people who did the costumes for
sinners, they were
actually working on
Blade at first, but then
once they canceled the Blade movie,
some of their ideas with the vampires,
they applied it toward
sinners. And I'm like,
as great as I thought the movie, C sinners
was, you
add Blade in that movie. Yeah.
That makes it even better. And it's like,
how often can you say that? A movie that
is good like that,
and you add some, to me, that's like,
taking a 73 win
Golden State Warrior team and adding
Kevin Durant. You throw Blade in that
oh man that
blade would have just been
just want to see a feel vampires.
Yeah.
I don't see.
I don't see why they don't
do what they're doing with the Punisher
just kind of dropping him here and there
and then he's getting his own like
what do they call it a feature presentation.
Yeah, exactly.
A little hour, a little mini movie.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Hey, they letting John Baranthal as Punisher.
They let him be Punisher, which is good.
I mean, the Punisher, he's very brutal.
He's going to do his thing.
He's not trying to apprehend you.
He's trying to end you.
You know, let Blade, let Blade be Blade, man.
We don't have to overcomplicate this, you know.
Let him do his thing.
Or just.
We need a ghost rider.
Oh, yeah.
Ridio, man.
Like that, like, it's so, like, it's so many misopportunities they're doing right there, man.
Like, you need to, they need a ghost rider for real.
You know, at one point, I thought they was going to have Norman Redis as, Norman Redis as, as ghost rider.
I'm like, okay.
I mean, I can see that, man.
Like, hey, I like, I like, I like Darrell, shoot, you know, just let him do.
He'll be Darrell just with, with powers.
So I can dig that.
You know, so.
But yeah, that, and you know, the whole zombie thing, like, if they could do a Marvel
Zombies live action, I think that'll be even doper because I'm like, man, like, I love zombie
movies, the whole apocalyptic type stuff.
And when you add superheroes to it, it's like, damn, man, how do you stop?
Like, in the trailer, they have Thanos.
He has the Infinity Gump with the Stones, but he's zumbified.
So, yeah.
How in the hell you're supposed to stop that?
And another thing I like that the rating came up during the trailer.
Yeah.
It's going to be TVMA.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
It's going to be a little bit different than the Disney shows you're seeing on Disney Plus.
Good, good.
That's good.
That's good.
Oh, and another highlight on there, which I love and appreciate,
we get to see Tchala in there because it's like I like Shuri.
And I understand their reasons for making her the Black Panther.
But also, you don't have to eliminate the whole character of Tachala
because there were rumors that Ryan Cougler and Figey,
they was going to not include Tachala in any of the, like,
MCU animated stuff as well because of Chadwick Bowman's death.
And I'm like, I love Chadwick Bowman as Black Panther as Tichala,
but that doesn't mean you eliminate the character entirely.
because, you know, that, it's like, hey, you didn't eliminate General Thunderboat Ross after William Hurt passed.
So it's like, hey, man, you know, could take a break from the character, but that character is very important to certain stories y'all trying to tell in the MCU.
And it's just not going to hit right when you don't have to Charley there.
So seeing him with the Scott Lang who looks like the head detective from in living color.
I don't know if y'all remember that character, Damon Wayne's thinking.
Yeah, looking like him, man.
Oh, oh, yeah, Spider-Man was, man, Phil, you need to see that trailer, man.
Spider-Man was killing me, man.
Yeah, he swinging over zombies and he webs like five zombie heads,
and then he just rips the heads off and he's just swinging with them.
Oh, yeah.
That's awesome.
Oh, yeah, Spider-Man, he wasn't holding back.
So that's what I love about it.
It's like Spider-Man is going to kill mode.
So it's like, oh, yeah.
Because we always see Spider-Man when he's fighting villains.
He's holding back while the villain's trying to kill him.
But to see him locked in and loaded, oh, man, that was amazing.
Amazing.
I'm looking it up.
Marvel Zombies drops on Disney Plus the 24th of this month.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
I did watch the animated predator thing.
That was pretty cool.
Okay, that was good.
That's so nice, too.
Yeah, I liked it.
Did you watch it recently?
Maybe a month ago.
Okay, they since added a special end credit scene.
Oh, okay.
If nobody wants to know, I'll just speed,
fast forward ahead a couple of minutes.
But at the end of the,
original version, it was the character from Prey.
Yeah.
And the new version, it shows her, but then it keeps moving across.
And then you see Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch and Danny Glover's character right next to her.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I did say it.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So they said those characters will be back probably in animated form because, you know, they're like 80 years old.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Okay, so they bring in Dutch back.
Okay.
Yeah.
That is long overdue, man.
Long overdue.
I hope they just get somebody to do an Arnold impersonation and not actually Arnold.
I want it to be like over the top.
And I like they're including the Danny Glover's character because the connection with the old-time pistol.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Was in Predator to his Predator.
I love her.
That's right movie.
That's right.
That's right.
All right.
What are they going to include?
What was the other one?
Predators with, what's it?
Adrian Brody.
Is that the actor's name that was in there?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure they could.
Yeah.
But if you can get the Arnold and Danny Glover then, yeah, that's, oh, yeah.
Those are the OGs.
Oh, yeah, for real.
Get all go back to do the voice.
over. Oh yeah. Hey, have me a man, Danny,
do it, man. I don't see why not. They can do that
from their living room, man. Don't got to get up and do anything. Just talk, you know.
He's too old for this shit. Yeah.
For real. That's going to be,
hey, you're going to bring that tag. He's going to bring that phrase
back in style, man. Yeah, that'll be cool.
All right. Those were the trailers.
Okay, well, we're going to skip listener feedback.
but Brian you said you got a podcast spotlight.
Yeah, this week we are spotlighting horror from the high desert.

All right.
We'll move on to our feature presentations.
We're going to start with the human race,
a movie that I did not know existed.
From 2013, 80 people vanish and reappear somewhere unknown.
From diverse backgrounds, they hear rules in their heads get lapped twice or leave the path or touch grass and you die.
The only choice is to race.
DeVars, would you think about the human race?
This movie here really exceeded my experience.
expectations.
Yeah.
Because
why it was today, Wednesday?
I watched it Monday night.
And when I went to Google, I typed in
Human Race, the human race.
And then it was multiple movies came up.
And I'm like, okay, so
before I asked, okay, which one is it?
Okay, let me go see if the year was on there.
And I saw that the year was on that 2013.
I'm like, okay, so this must be it here.
And so I called it on Tooby.
And the, man,
And the beginning, are we doing spoilers with this movie?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, we do sports.
I thought, I really, I really dug to how, I really love how they did the beginning of the movie because there was a young lady.
I think, like, her character had, like, cancer or something.
And she was like, F you, you know, got cancer.
And then they showed his training montage and she beat cancer and stuff.
and she ends up being one of the 80 people selected.
And boom, you see her die.
And I'm like, oh, because I thought she was going to be like the main character that we follow.
Because I'm like, now, you got me interested in her.
And bam, you just killed off.
And then they go into the two dudes who were war buddies and stuff.
And I'm like, so I guess they're going to do a background of each individual person.
but we end up sticking on their storyline for a while,
which is a very interesting storyline.
But the movie, like,
it was some kill scenes that really shocked me to the point
where it's like, hold on, let me rewind that.
Did I really just see them, like, blow the heads off of a child?
Yeah.
You know, and it's like, it's one of those things.
It's like, man, like, it reminded me of soft when you watched the first,
saw movies where these people you wake up, you in a room, oh, let's play a game. Nobody has no
idea how they all got there. So I'm like, wow, this is like, where are they? Because I'm like,
where are the other people that's in the town, you know? But it was intense. And watching this movie,
I'm going to tell you something, it made me reevaluate on what I should be working on when I'm
exercising. I need to do more cardio, you know, because,
What are the rules?
Like, well, number one, don't you step in the grass, you die.
You know, and for me, that would be no problem because growing up, my grandpa did not like when we stepped on his grass.
So I'm pretty good at maneuvering and preventing myself for stepping on the grass.
But, and they said, don't, if you allow yourself to get lap twice, you die.
And I'm like, wow.
And that one, like, it, I don't know, it was intense, man, but it was some people in this movie.
I'm thinking, I'm like, you can't run, you can't walk, you just going to sit there.
Like, come on, man, do something.
But, um.
Yeah, like an old guy with a walker or something.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
In his mind, they're telling him to run and he looks up to this guy.
He's like, I can't.
Yeah.
Now, that right there, I'm like, so that's just completely unfair.
What is he supposed to do?
You know?
But I guess it's more of a test of humanity as well because it's like, well, you have 79 other people who can help him move along.
So, you know, but in this movie here, like it goes to show you in movies like this, it highlights the truth of humanity.
It highlights the bad side and it highlights the good side.
You know, he goes to show you like even people who you think thought were nice in a normal setting.
turns out they're not, their niceness is pretty conditional.
Yeah.
And the same thing, some people you would think are like assholes are selfish, but they have
moments of being heroic and stuff, you know?
But it, it also reminded me of, what's the name of that movie?
It was some type of experiment where it was a movie where it had, what's the guy to act?
who plays Merle on the Walking Dead.
He was in there.
And the movie, the premise of it was
at this corporate building
I think it's like a thousand people.
They were like being interviewed or something in this room
and they couldn't leave the room.
Yeah.
Oh, the Belko experiment.
Yeah, yeah, that right there.
Yeah, because I think it was like a thousand.
Let's say there was a thousand employees.
And they said like
they have to be down to
500 employees
after a couple hours or everybody blows up or something.
And people started killing each other off.
And it was a lot of that in this movie because it's like, wow, man, a lot of people are really out for themselves, you know.
Especially that, that idiot that would not stop running, like the dude in the yellow shirt.
And I'm like, man, I'm like, if you can't catch them, how about you throw something at him, man?
This is ridiculous.
You know what I'm saying?
And the whole
Now I did have to stop the movie
On that part where
He encountered the lady that was pregnant
Because I'm like
Okay
This is going to get to him
He's not gonna run
But
Dude kept running
And I'm like
That's why I had to pause the movie
I'm like wow that
I'm like that's intense
And the baby exploded first
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm like, that is intense.
And it's like, I watch a lot of movies and I absolutely have no idea how I have never heard of this movie or even seen a clip or a trailer.
So that's what I'm like, where did this movie even come from?
Like, 2013, like I've been watching a lot of movies my whole life.
I'm like, how did I miss that?
You know, but it, the director of the movie, he definitely understood the assignment.
And, yeah, I thought it was a very horrific movie as far as horror rise.
It was very horror.
So, you know, but I'll save my rating for after everybody else go.
All right.
Brian, what do you think?
Yeah, I enjoyed this movie.
Just like Tavares said, this definitely shows you the inability of humans to work together and figure out.
You know, you had a couple that were trying to, like, let's just stop.
and think about this.
Let's figure out where we're at, what we're doing,
how we can survive.
And then you've just got people that are just like,
no, fuck it.
They said, run, let's go.
And then you had characters that,
like, Tavares again, brought up the main,
the girl in the beginning.
They basically drew Barry Martis in screen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And even with one of the military guys,
the one that died,
I thought he was going to last a little bit longer.
and he was one of the first to go.
Yeah.
And then you got the deaf couple.
In their beginning, you see him, the deaf man, judging everybody, oh, that guy's, that
guy's a murderer, that guy's a rapist, that guy's a pedophile.
And then he ends up trying to rape his friend.
And it just shows you how people could.
actually be when they're put in certain situations. Even her, like, she was so against killing,
but she turned into a straight killer when she didn't really need to be. Yeah.
Trying to kill the cripple. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was. And he was bad ass fighting with
the crutches, swinging around on one crutch on one leg. Yeah. So, yeah, I thought when I,
when I picked this movie, I read the premise and I was like, this is a cool premise. This is a
this will go good with the long walk and I thought I'd never watched it before but I actually
have seen it before when the movie started playing I was like oh okay I remember this one oh and
another good movie that I thought was pretty interesting that's in the same vein as this one
is the circle oh yeah that was a good one yeah which they're coming out with a sequel with that one
could be entitled circles okay so
more circles.
But yeah, I had a good time with this one.
The kills were horrific.
Even though some of the special effects kind of don't hold up to now,
but I excuse that because this was probably done on a lower budget.
Yeah, definitely.
And the movie moved fast.
They told you the rules in the beginning,
introduce you to the main characters,
and then the movie got going.
And I would definitely love to see.
it's probably not going to happen because this movie came out in 2013,
but I would love to see a sequel because basically...
It looks like that's what they were leading to.
Yeah, I'm assuming it's aliens.
Yeah.
And they were basically saying he was in one arena and he got to rest until another one was done.
So I don't know if he's going to be put in another race or something more horrific to do.
But if there's a sequel in the works, I would love...
I would love to watch it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it was definitely on a lower budget,
but you always love to see people's heads explode.
It's always a little bit funny.
That's the way just about everybody dies.
And when I first turned it on, I was like, man, this is about to suck.
And it caught my attention and held it the whole way.
I was pretty happy with it, you know.
I think it's very much a metaphor for life, you know, what they're doing with it.
You just got to kind of keep on running, beat the guy in front of you.
And then, yeah, at the end, so I guess there was some angels that were also doing some sort of race and a couple of other weird races of aliens or something.
And then they were all going to race in the next one.
And so it kind of just cuts off at the end.
and leaves it sort of open.
And I was like, oh, man, I guess this is just never ending.
Maybe that's what life is.
I don't know.
But, yeah, I liked it.
I liked it a whole lot more than I thought I was going to.
All right.
Tavares scores.
Well, it's got one to ten.
See, still going back and forth.
But based on the budget for this movie,
like it looked like the budget looked like it might have been a little over 9,000 or something,
like in the Anaconda movie.
But, you know, it was straight to the point.
They got to the action real quick.
You knew the rules and scoring to 10.
I'll give it an 8.5.
You know, because it, like, movies like that, like I judge it on a different scale because it's like,
I didn't recognize any of the actors in this movie.
Normally, I could at least find one person.
And like you said, the guy with the one leg, he was badass, man.
That whole scene where the deaf look chick had pushed him in the grass, but it's like, technically his leg is not, he didn't land on the grass.
And then he chased her.
And the first thing I'm thinking, I'm like, he's going to have to throw something at her.
And he threw it out of it and got her.
And it's like, hey, you know, it's like, yeah, and I was shocked that she went there with him on that because he had more of a, you know, he came across as a very, very friendly and approachable.
And he hadn't done anything malicious or anything.
He had saved her life before then.
He had snapped a guy's neck.
That was choking her.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And, you know, since we was talking about predator,
when I think about it,
it actually kind of reminds me of
predators, the one that came out in
2010, where her character kind of
reminded me of, well,
her and her friend,
they kind of reminded me
of To For Grace's character
in Predators, where, you know,
he seemed so innocent, and they was like,
oh, man, you know, we'll protect you.
You know, you're not a threat, you know.
But you find out, like, yeah,
he's actually a problem.
You know.
Slimy guy.
And exactly.
And you find out her friend ends up being very slimy.
And she ends up being just as, well, she ends up being slimy.
I'm not going to say just as slimy as him, but they both were pretty slimy.
And it's like, it's like, wow, man.
Like, and then just like predators, after they finished that battle, more people came in.
So they was going to have to prepare for another battle.
So the guy with the one leg.
he has to prepare for another battle.
So that's why I'm like, wow.
And I'm like, and I looked up, see if there was a sequel.
I'm like, came out in 2013.
Maybe a sequel came up, but nothing so far.
But it's definitely worthy of a sequel or some type of extended series or something.
But yeah, I get 8.5.
But yeah, with the actors, like, there was nobody that I've ever seen in a movie or a show before that I could recognize.
But the guy who plays the one-legged dude.
For some reason, certain parts of the movie, he kind of reminded me of Jim Halpert on the office a little bit.
John Cresensky a little bit.
Oh, yeah, a little bit.
Yeah, but I'm like, I know that's not him, but I'm like, man, but that dude that went hard, man.
He went hard.
Like, he was a badass for real.
Like, it makes me want to look him up and see what else is he in.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just want to, I'm going to have to look him up to see what else is he in because I'm like, dude was bad ass for real.
So 8.5 for me.
all right Brian what do you think I'm at 7.5 I would have gave it a little bit higher
but I would have liked some things to be different for one instance
when the deaf guy is back in the real world and he's like pointing out oh this guy's
bad for this and that and that and that I kind of wish that some of those guys were actually
good yeah but they turned out to be like they were some of the world
Yeah.
So I wish a couple things like that would have been different.
But, you know, for what they had to do with probably, as we suspected, a low budget, I thought they did a good job.
And I was entertained throughout.
And I thought the acting was pretty decent.
So 7.5.
Yeah.
I think realistically it gets a 6.5.
But I'll give it an extra half a point because it was such a low budget thing.
So I'll go 7.
Nice.
Yeah.
Definitely worth the watch if you'd never seen it before.
And I never even heard of this.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Let's see.
We'll move on to our next one.
The Long Walk.
Let me read you the thing here.
A group of teenage boys compete in an annual contest known as the Long Walk,
in which they must maintain a certain walking speed or get shot.
This one is directed by Francis Lawrence, written by J.T. Molnar and Stephen King.
Tavars, what did you think about it?
Oh, I enjoyed this movie. I really did.
I was unfamiliar with the book.
I remember Lance had mentioned that he had read the books, but I hadn't read the books on it.
But watching this movie, it makes me want to go and check out the books.
but um like
man david johnson the guy who played peter like
that dude there's happened a hell of a year man
like this dude here was in
was it alien romulus
yeah he was the android
oh yeah yeah
killed it killed it in that movie and it was bad ass
and he killed it in this movie too him and um
you know the actor who plays raymond
as i'm watching i'm like this dude that dude looks
familiar. Like, I can't pinpoint
where I seen him from and while I was watching the movie,
I said, let me look
to the cast and that's
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Hoffman's son.
And I'm like,
wow. Yeah, I'm like,
okay, I see the resemblance. So I'm like
the whole time I'm thinking about his dad.
So, I mean, I thought he did
both of them. They carried the hell
out of this movie.
I mean, their acting was on
point, you know, and
I didn't realize to
to watching the movie.
Maybe they said this in the trailer, and I just overlooked it.
But see, I thought you just, you walk a certain distance and you go under three miles per hour.
Boom, you're dead.
I thought it was just like that.
But the race, there is no finish line.
So are we doing spoilers in here?
Not yet.
Not yet.
Okay.
Okay.
So my non-spoiler part of it is that three miles.
Yeah, I don't think the rule.
Or a spoiler.
Okay.
All right.
So three miles per hour.
That right there, once again, it makes you want to reevaluate how you work out if you're not utilizing cardio.
Because, you know, three miles per hour, that's nothing if you go in 30, 40 minutes or an hour.
But what happens when you get tired or you're getting hungry?
Can you still keep up that pace, you know?
But in the trailer.
an interesting one what happens when you have to take a shit
exactly they answer that in the movie yeah exactly exactly
these are things that we do not think about because a lot of times we may
automatically think about okay food water but like you say what if you got a number
what if you got a drop a duke or something or what if you got a number one like what do you
do you know and um but yeah it's this it was very intense i thought mark hamill like
I forgot that was Mark Hamill, because every time I see Mark Hamill, I think Luke Skywalker.
I didn't realize it was him until just now.
Yeah, yeah.
And him in this role, I thought, like, I've never seen him in a role like this before.
Normally, he's normally the good guy, the heroic guy, in every show, a movie I see him in.
But, yeah, it, I don't know, man, like this movie here and like the previous movie that we talked about,
it makes you question
you get to see
the highlights of humanity
the good side
and the bad side
stuff like this
it could bring out the good side of people
or the bad side
just like you brought up
Phil where you was like hey
it could mean a simple metaphor of life
you know
pass the other person up
you know
and
I don't know man
this this movie was very very intense
and you know
I wouldn't want to be in a situation like
I mean, I used to pride myself on cardio, but it's a lot of aspects going on with this.
You got soldiers following you around, ready to, you know, ready to fire up on you.
You know, they give you warnings, but, you know, but I liked it, man.
I liked it.
I thought the movie was real good.
All right, Brian.
I really liked this one.
I really enjoyed it.
This is, I think, out of Stephen King adaptations, this is up there.
the cast was great
I thought everybody's
performance was phenomenal
David Johnson
was the all star in this movie
they had characters
that I was rooting for
I was hot because I
just the premise of the movie
you know only one can make it
but it had me rooting
for multiple people
it had me rooting against
other people and then they kind of flipped
it gave you a reason
why they're acting the way they are and I was like oh wow and Mark
Mark Hamill was he put on a good performance because he is
definitely not Luke Skywalker in this movie yeah and like we
talked about every time I had a question I was like you know what
happens if this happens what happens if they run out of water what
happens if they need to go to bathroom they they answer all that in the
movie I was like what happens if somebody tries to run what happens that
you know, they give you all that.
And then you're just kind of just going along for the ride.
You're right,
as this movie was intense.
A movie about walking.
Yeah.
Super intense.
Yeah.
And like I said, the, the, the conversations,
I was glued in to the conversations they were having back and forth
because you were watching these guys,
some of these guys become friends.
But they're becoming good friends and close,
but they also know,
what's going to happen because they all can't win.
Right.
And I thought they did a great job telling this story.
And yeah, this is definitely in my top 10 of the year.
Okay.
I don't know if it's my top 10 of the year, but I thought it wasn't bad for sure.
It was an hour and 48 minutes.
I'm glad it didn't go longer than that because I think it would have gotten kind of old.
But the runtime was good.
I thought they got to tell everybody's stories.
they had good conversation, great character development,
especially with the two main guys, you know, Pete and Garrity.
They were, you know, you're definitely rooting for them the whole time.
And you already know, well, I guess I won't get into the spoilers.
But you know where that's going to end up.
Yeah.
And apparently the ending of the book is a little bit different.
Yeah, that's what I heard.
Yeah.
I haven't read it, but that's what they say.
but yeah
I thought it was I thought it was real good
I thought it was acted very well
like I said didn't realize it was Mark Hamill
until just now and he
he made a
great kind of faceless villain
you know I thought that worked for him
yeah but yeah
I like it
for sure I'm a little surprised
that they didn't well
I won't get into that either we'll wait until spoilers
all right scores
Tavares, what do you think?
I give it a 9.5.
9.5, wow.
Brian.
9.
Woo.
I'm going to give it an 8.
Nice.
I thought it was solid.
I don't think it's going to end up in my top 10,
but it was a good solid movie.
All right.
Spoilers.
All right, spoilers.
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
I didn't start like
fighting each other like nobody
really played it dirty
well the one kid
tried
the one with the long hair
when he was antagonizing the one kid to punch him
and they quickly
didn't end up good for the kid that was trying to punch him
but I like that story arc because
that guy was a fucking asshole
yeah yeah but then when he caused that
his death, it like got to him so much that he eventually took his own life.
Because every time somebody brought it up, he was just like, stop saying that.
That's not what I was trying to do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I didn't know that story arc was going to go there.
Ben Wong, the karate kid, the new karate kid.
I liked his character in it.
Yeah, he was good.
I kind of wanted more in his backstory because it gets revealed he's the only one with the
wife. And I was like, you're
kind of young to have a wife.
Yeah, you don't really hear much about him.
He's just sort of there. He's a
tertiary character, you know.
Then you get
Jojo Rabbit
was the kid that got the
cramp in his leg.
One of the first ones that he kills.
Oh, yeah.
But David Johnson
was just,
I don't know, like they were setting
him up to be the guy
that sacrifices himself
and then they switch it on
then they switch it on you and it's
it's Ray
who kind of
does that instead
that I thought that was a very powerful
scene how David Johnson goes back to get
or Raymond goes to get back to get
David Johnson and it was like don't give up
you know keep walking with me
and then what was his name
Peter David Johnson's character
starts walking and he doesn't realize that
Ray just kind of stopped
Yeah, and they'd already had their third warning
so he didn't have a chance to turn around.
Yeah.
So there's so many scenes I could bring up,
but I'll give you guys this opportunity to talk spoilers.
Yeah, it's...
I guess in the book,
raised the one that ends up,
but they kill Pete off before they kill off the last guy.
So he's already lost all his connections
and he doesn't care anymore.
But yeah, it, um,
and the director,
Francis Lawrence
he did the Hunger Games movies
and did all of them except for the
first one. Yeah. He didn't
do the first one? No, I looked
it up. He did the second
one all the way to the newest one
and he's doing the new one that's coming out
and he also did I Am Legend
and Constantine. So he
knows how to do these dystopian
post-apocalyptic type movies.
Okay, because
okay, because
the ending, because
Let me see.
So in the books,
well, anyways,
and the way he was ending,
it reminded me of,
I thought it was going to end
how the first Hunger Games movie ended where
instead of just one person winning,
Katniss found a loophole or something
where her and the other dude,
I forgot his name,
where they ended up surviving,
and they were co-winners.
And so I'm thinking, like,
because I'm like, y'all,
I became, I was interested in everybody's stories, even the ones that was acting like
assholes and stuff.
It's like, okay, well, all right, but I wasn't rooting for the assholes to win, but it's
like the two main characters, all right, I'm rooting for them to win, but I know that's not
going to happen, but I'm thinking, okay, maybe it's going to be like Hunger Games where
they found some type of loophole where Peter and Garrity ended up being the co-winners,
but, no, it didn't do that.
And it's like, I can respect that because you're sticking to the rules and stuff.
And it's like, you know, you're preparing the audience that, hey, a character that you really love is not going to make it.
And also a character you may love may make it, you know.
And I love both of these characters, you know, they had real good storylines.
And the way they carry, like, acting wise, everybody did a brilliant job.
But these two were meant to be the franchise.
players of this movie and they
felt that void on it.
And they carried each other acting
wise and they carried each other
physically and spiritually
and emotionally during the duration
of their walk during that journey.
And, you know,
it's that right there
it highlights the good
parts of humanity, of what
humanity is capable of, you know?
Because it's like, like, the
scene where, um,
what part was that?
where they went up the hill.
Like, this movie was already intense before that.
And I'm like, it got like, I'm watching the movie, but it's like, soon as they got to that hill,
it's like after two seconds, you hear, boom, a big gunshot.
And I'm like, oh, man, like, it kind of, like, it really startled me because I wasn't expecting that.
So it's like, soon as they got, they ready, go up the hill, somebody immediately had dropped under three or something.
or whatever. And then boom. And I'm like, wow. And then as they kept going on that hill,
like bodies start dropping like flies because it's like, hey, I mean, people was tired
watching on a flat surface. It's barely making it. You add that big incline to it? Oh, man,
that was so intense. That's why I'm like, wow. I didn't think this movie could get even more
intense. Well, that one scene where the kid gets his legs run over by the tank.
Oh, yeah.
And they're still like,
this is your second warning.
And I was like, second warning,
he has no legs.
Yeah, yeah.
Man, that, but also like,
oh, the first kid
who had the, who had the Charlie Horse to cramp.
And I'm like, oh, man, I'm like,
and I'm like, man, you young.
I'm like, come on, man.
Like, breathe, like push that.
Come on, man.
Like, hop on one leg or something, man.
And I'm like, but it was one character.
I forgot which one.
That was a brutal kill, too.
Oh, very brutal.
I forgot which one of the kids is was, but he had long hair.
And I'm looking at the casting.
I think it might have been Stebbins, but this was at the very beginning.
They gave him like three warnings, you know, and then he finally got up.
He was tying his shoe, whatever.
And I'm like, I'm like, come on, man.
Don't get yourself killed over tying his shoe, man.
Tuck the shoelaces in or something.
I'm like, what are you doing, you know?
But you're talking about that's part of my strategy or blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, no, man, I'm like, you're playing games, man.
You know, because in the audience, you know, you're watching this.
And it's like, come on, they're like, because I'm, and part of me, we have three boys.
And I'm thinking like, okay, listen, I'm like, man, if that's one of my kids, it's like,
hey, man, just tuck your dog on shoelaces in, man.
Like, what are you doing, you know?
Like, keep it moving, you know?
But, yeah, man, and the question that we did get answered, like, what if you have to drop a deuce?
Yeah, man, that, the one dude who just couldn't stop, it's like, come on, man, like, hey, man, just keep walking.
Let it go in your draws, man.
I mean, just keep going, you know, it's like, I mean, like, come on, man.
And he just couldn't stop, and he was just, like, forget it and just squat it.
And I'm like, man, come on now.
Like, don't go out like that, you know, because it's like when we die, we don't know if we're going to see our highlights and low lights.
But it's like, dang, dude, they're going to show you went out squat and dropping the tubes, baby.
Come on, man.
Listen, I'd love to win the lottery as much as the next guy.
But there's no way in hell I'd sign up for something like this, dude.
Well, there was a line dropped where Ray said, because his father had was killed.
over like his political beliefs.
Yeah.
There was a line saying he,
his father believed nobody was ever,
ever volunteered for the race that they were chosen.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
So he kind of felt like,
even though people volunteer,
the volunteer don't get picked.
It's people who they want to do.
I wouldn't have volunteered nothing.
I'll go live off the land and kill my own food if I have to.
Yeah.
Another character that I thought,
was interesting was the other asshole
the big tall athletic kid
who ended up getting sick
and he was like I've never I haven't been
sick in 10 years and I'm out of all the times
they get sick I get sick now
and then his reveal was
he was the colonels
because I guess the colonel
has dozens of illegitimate children
and he was one of them
and his because when you win you not
only get a cash prize but you get one
wish granted and he was going to have his wish
that his father acknowledged
who his existence
yeah I thought that was good
and then the other character the
the fourth
musketeer in the group
the preacher's kid
yeah I like how he didn't
ever change
he was the same because they were cussing
in front of him and he was like I can't do that
against my upbringing
and he was like that up until the very end
oh yeah oh yeah that's
yeah that's and you know hey
that, you know, he stuck by his morals and his beliefs, you know.
He was showing you that, you know, despite all this chaos that we're going through, you know,
hey, that's, that's something, that's something that keeps him grounded.
He's going to be himself.
So, yeah.
And the Native American dude going out like a boss.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, man.
And you know what?
And I'm thinking in the movie, I'm like, okay, eventually it's going to come a point where we're going to see a couple of
couple of them
try to take the gun away from one of the soldiers,
you know,
and he got the gun from him.
He shot one shoulder.
One,
he shot one soldier.
And I just thought he was just
started taking out a couple of them until they gun him down,
you know,
because it's like,
you know,
and it was one part where,
it's a small line,
but it was very,
it was very memorable for me where,
um,
what was his name again?
Rigarity,
where he had got,
he,
he called for a ration pack from one of the soldiers soldier gave him a ration pack
and then the soldier was still looking at him and he said stop looking at me he said you're
paid to what he said you're paid to to shoot me not look at me so don't look at me and then the
show to the soldier immediately stopped looking at him you know so so I'm like uh I'm like I feel
him on that it's like hey man don't don't be looking at me don't don't be staring at me you know so
but um yeah but his actor was intense man
acting was intense i mean that but hey that's philip seymour hoffman son i mean i don't know if this is
his first movie or not but um yeah he looked like he's gonna be be real good i think he's very good
think things ahead of both of these guys oh yeah but yeah david johnson man but yeah that dude there
now there were some scenes where it seemed like his um because i think he's like from london
or something like that or england you kind of heard his accent kind of come in a bit you know yeah
yeah the other kid too uh the one uh with the uh with the
preacher father.
Oh, okay.
He's also British.
Okay.
He's British actors taking over our job.
I know.
Yeah, I was like, because he was supposed to be from
Louisiana. I was like, you're doing a
fantastic job on that accent.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
No, I was wondering, because he did, he did
have a weird, like, weird speech thing going.
I was like, where's this guy from?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's just doing an American
an accent. I got you. An old sound accent. See, with David Johnson's character though, Peter,
the thing about it, you know, they're supposed to be, I don't know, are they all supposed to be
teenagers, like, with the age or whatever, or early 20s or something? But his character just,
I don't know, it's like it gave me that old soul type vibes, because it seems like, like,
the way he's talking and his whole vibe, his aura. Well, he told that story about,
how he was brought up.
Yeah.
Parents dying and then living with his uncle who beat him every day until his uncle died from drinking and sleeping in ditches and stuff.
So he had a kind of rough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, and, you know, and upbringing like that, like, that can cause some people to become like how his uncle was and stuff.
know, or even worse, become villains.
But he used it and applied in his experiences to go out and help others and stuff, you know.
And he, like I say, man, it was almost to one point in the movie.
I'm thinking, I'm like, man, watch at the end, they're going to trick us.
And it's going to be a situation where David Johnson's character, you find out his character had been died.
But that was like his ghost or something, like helping and motivating them a lot.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I'm like, he was such a good, what is that?
Like a huge moral compass in this movie, you know, it's like the whole four musketeers thing.
Like in one part when they say three musketeers and the one dude is like, well, it's only three.
He's like, well, the four musketeers, you know what I'm saying?
I like there was a fifth guy that was like, yeah.
They were like, no, you're not part of this.
Exactly, you know.
Hey, there's four musketeers in the movie.
Yeah.
So, you know, so that right there, man, it's like.
Like I say, man, this movie here, like, now I'm not going to lie, like, well, it's a Stephen King movie.
So, you know, you're going to have a certain level of gore.
And it's like most of the gunshots, you saw them, you know, you saw what the face exploded and stuff, you know.
Oh, and the karate kid, he was the first one to go for a gun.
And they shot him in the stomach and they left, they left him on the street to don't bleeding out as an example that don't touch the gun.
I thought that was pretty extreme.
right there that they just don't they just didn't kill him they're like no you're going to be an
example to everybody yeah that's and then the the one kid that that was right in the book
the one that he broke his ankle yeah yeah but i was like how did you do that because that's
extremely like broken yeah see see that's what i didn't get because i'm like hold up i'm like i didn't
fall asleep. I'm like, when did his ankle become like that? So I didn't get it.
I was bleeding and everything. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm like, hold up. I'm like, did that happen
after the, when it was going up the hill scene? Because it was nighttime. So maybe I missed it or something,
but I'm like, I didn't, I couldn't comprehend how did his ankle get like, like, did he sprain it or what
happened because it looked like it looked like i don't know it looked like he he got got got ran over or something
you know i mean but i'm like i don't remember that so i don't know but when it comes out on stream
and i'll definitely rewatch it again and maybe i'll see it but yeah i don't i didn't get what
happened on that part yeah there's not a bad copy out there just saying yeah yeah and this
movie here, this was one of the first movies where I can say,
because I'm on TikTok a lot, and a lot of times I get
drive-by spoiled through certain scenes of a movie. I'm like,
I'm like, dang, man, I wasn't even trying to look for no spoilers.
But this movie here, I can honestly say,
the only clips I saw in this movie were like from the trailer or
you go to like the movie site or YouTube, they'll show a
actual clip that the studio released it or something, you know, but it was a non-spoiler, you know.
But also, back to Garrity's character, you know, how the scene where his mom was a
spectator was watching and stuff. And, you know, he almost got killed in front of his mom. And
his mom was like, hey, keep going, keep going and stuff. And then, like, when he died, you know,
he told Peter to, I think he told him, he said, you know, tell my mom, I'm sorry and stuff.
And it's like, that hit hard right there because it's like, man, you just saw your loved one and stuff.
And it's like, it's like, dang, you know, it's like, you almost made it.
But yeah, she's not going to be able to see her son again, you know.
Well, Peter did have that line when he said maybe it's better that you don't get to see your loved ones because they were talking about your body.
to get in town. You're about to see people you know.
And then he was like, maybe
that's a good thing. And then Peter was like, well, maybe
it's a good thing you don't see your loved ones.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, that's
understandable, man. Because that
because you get that far, because
I remember at the beginning,
one of the walkers, they were saying, I thought there
would be spectators. And they said, well,
they don't show up towards
like till you get
further deep into the journey of the walk.
you know and it's like you make it that far and there's probably our moments where you tune out
your loved ones just to keep your sanity and focus on what you're doing but then seeing them yeah you'll reset
that button and then it's like the focus that you had to keep going at three miles per hour and stuff you know
you tend to lose that you know and you know what i saw um there was actually actually
a screening of this movie in late August.
I forgot what it did it at,
but the audience members,
they had to walk on treadmills throughout the duration of the movie.
No, I heard about that.
Yeah, you heard about the, yeah,
and you had to maintain three miles per hour.
And if you couldn't and you stopped,
or you got below three, you had to leave.
And I'm like, wow, that's, I'm like, you know what, that,
and it made me think, you know,
And I'm shocked that like the movie hasn't really hadn't really made a lot of money.
Like I think the budget was like 25 million.
And so far it's made like 12 million.
That's what I'm like, I'm like, I don't know.
I don't know what they did.
They must say they missed the mark on the marketing of this movie.
Because I felt like if you would have advertised certain theaters doing like a treadmill thing with this, I don't know.
I thought that could have maybe kicked off some type of trend
and the movie probably could have got better marketing, you know.
And also while I'm watching this movie,
I couldn't help but to think.
I'm like, man, I wish they would have did a marketing for this movie
with David Guggins.
I don't know.
Y'all know if David Guggins is on YouTube.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
When he talks about, I get out there and I run.
I don't stop.
I'll run out 100 miles.
I don't stop.
And I'm like, I thought that would have been pretty cool to have marketing with that.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I'm like, brilliant movie.
But unfortunately, it's not going to make the money that it probably should because of,
I don't think they approach the marketing well.
I mean, yeah, you said it's Stephen King.
But unfortunately, the past Stephen King movies that was adapted from his books,
it hadn't been really making a lot of money, you know.
But it's like, I thought that was a missed opportunity.
there, man, you know.
Yeah, I think, I think I read, I think a lot of studios aren't really promoting their
movies.
They don't really start until the movie's about to come out.
Yeah.
Unless it's a big budget movie, they're doing it like months and months ahead of time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
But, you know, yeah, that right there, I thought the, but yeah, that whole premise, man,
like that is, that's a deep premise, you know, and it's like,
It makes you think, like, hey, even when the kid, the kid had the cramp, it's like, man, like, being able to maintain three miles per hour for that length of a time, man, that takes a lot on your body, a whole lot, you know.
But yeah, I loved it, man.
I thought this was a real good movie for real, man.
Yeah, I've done some road marches before, but I wouldn't be walking for no multiple days straight.
Yeah, yeah, man.
Yeah, I'm like, you did no sleep feed?
Yeah.
Like, even Forrest Gump, man, when he did his running, he said when I, when I was, when I was, when I was hungry, I ate.
When I was tired, I slept, you know.
Yeah.
But they didn't get to do any of that.
Well, they, they had their rations or whatever, but there was no stopping, you know.
So that, man, but yeah, it was a good movie, man.
It was a good movie.
All right.
I think that about wraps it up.
I don't know what our closer is because I don't have my notes in front of me.
