Hey, this is Catherine Kami, aka M-E-G from Sleepaway Camp, and you're listening to The Horror Returns.
Greetings, 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.
You know what's up everybody?
The horror returns, episode five,
0.04. Tonight, we are
giving you the British
Zombie Week, I assume Lance, or one of you guys make this
up. Brother Phil will be here
when he can. Brother Lance is
doing this thing. Life gets in the way for all of us.
But brother Brian is here. What's up, man?
What's up, man? And we've got a guest.
Matt Wood, from the other side of the world.
how you doing Matt?
Very good, Kev.
Yeah, thank you again for having me on.
It's been a while.
Actually, I can't remember the last thing I did with you guys.
Maybe it was, oh, God, maybe March Madness, I think.
I'm with the last thing.
I think so.
Or was it where we did Pink Flamingos, the...
Oh, I can never forget that one.
No, you can't forget that one.
Yeah.
All good fun.
But, yeah, it's always good to be on the show.
Thanks again for having me.
All right, man.
I assume I'm supposed to read this intro,
but we're flying by the seat of our pace tonight.
We're wanging it this week.
Yeah, if you guys listen to Brian and I,
you know how we roll,
so we're going to do it our way.
But, of course,
we're going to start off with a cool of the week.
Matt, what is your cool of,
what is your cool for this week?
Well,
I've been in a bit of a horror film,
funk for the last
sort of
six or so
weeks.
I don't know just
post no
maybe two months
basically since
we did
31 days of
October
obviously I did that
and went hellful leather
on that
and then
I don't know
I think I just
you know
over the year
course of the year
I'm like Brian and yourself
watch a lot of films
and I just kind of
got burnt out
and I was like
you know what I can't watch
anything new.
And I just kind of start watching
war films and stuff
aside.
But I have got myself
back into it this year.
Started off with the film
called Primate.
Okay. I presume you guys see that.
Yeah, of course you see it because you did the
review last week.
Did you see it, Nez?
I remember. I did see it.
I did see it. I saw it. I wasn't on the show.
I was not a fan.
of it like the boys here it was the kills were good I loved all that I thought that was cool
but it was just okay we haven't we've seen this before I just kind of uh it gave me the more
kujo vibe so I was kind of like yeah yeah yeah I'm I'm down with you in honesty I just felt
yeah we'd seen before I was expecting more of a sort of family drama
you know, with them bringing the sort of chimp home and then learning about it a bit more.
And then it's suddenly just going a bit fucking bonkers and unpredictable rather than the rabies route.
And like you say, that kind of Coojo thing.
So, yeah, I was a bit disappointed.
I mean, as you say, the kills are excellent.
I'm not going to spoil those for you.
But so, I mean, some of those are really, really good, good fun.
but it was it was more like a um yeah like kujo but like a what you call it a oh god brain's gone
dead you know uh just half fuck it whatever um anyway so yeah six six out of ten for me on that one
yeah i probably be the same score i would give it like a six i mean i mean my son enjoyed it but i was
I was like, oh, okay.
I mean, if it wasn't for the kills,
my score would probably be a lot lower,
but, I mean, it started off with a bang
for that first kill when a guy getting his face ripped off.
But then all the, as it went along,
to me, it seemed like it went a little too fast.
It was like rabies and then...
Yeah.
I thought they were going to be like running around the jungle
and it chasing them or something.
I didn't know they were going to be stuck in a house,
but...
I'm keeping my score at eight.
Just as for big.
end.
Eight.
Wow, you really did enjoy it.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's good, though.
That's good.
What else have I seen?
I've seen a film called Killer Whale,
which has just come out on VOD.
Yeah, this is fucking awful.
Really not good.
This is basically very similar to the shallows.
with Blake lively.
It's just, yeah, it's a poor man's version of that.
Really bad CGI.
The acting was pretty mid to weak.
Yeah, I found it really dull personally.
Yeah, you've seen it, Brian.
Yeah, I 100% agree with you.
It's a shallow rip-off, just replaced a
shark with a killer whale and
I didn't care about any
of the people and then they did that cliche
the friend had
something to tell the other friend that
she's been meaning to tell her for so long
and they tried to add
drama to it
the drama which is pretty much
non-existent. It's just so boring
nobody cared. Yeah
but yeah
so I would skip that
one unless you're
so gone on this. Is it streaming?
no okay well it's out there yeah what what movie is it killer whale killer whale killer whale
you've seen the shallows right yeah just replace her with a different actress a different blonde
actress and instead of a shark killer whale ah what part of the world is this taking place
probably florida
Florida. I don't think they swim down there.
No, I think they went to like the Bahamas or something.
It says Thailand.
It would be some weird shit to happen in Florida though.
I think they're mostly in the Pacific.
My knowledge of killer whales, I don't know if they're warm water mammals, but okay.
I don't know everyone.
I think they're more in your neck of the woods, dude.
Yeah, I figured they were more of,
you're at, Brian, around that area.
Oh, yeah. Oh, they are. Yeah.
So, I mean, that's, I mean, I want to see this because, uh, being a native,
I'm like, really? I mean, why is it trying to kill you? They usually don't go after people.
My knowledge of it.
Oh, there's a ridiculous backstory to order 66.
I mean, if you, if you guys seen the awesome film, uh, from 1977, Orca,
I mean, there was a reason why that that whale was going after the fisherman and everything.
Because he, I don't want to ruin it if you guys haven't seen it, but you should have seen it by now.
Classic.
Oh, that ain't that, this movie.
Oh, okay.
So, yeah, I love Orca.
But this one, is it CGI the whole time or is it at least real killer whale at times?
When it's the whale by itself, it looks pretty good.
but then when the whale's doing any kind of attacking anything,
it's completely CGI and it's like the worst.
Like,
are you look at the whale riding its eye?
90s CGI where it's kind of bouncing off the page.
That CGI we talk about when we're like,
it's 2026.
Why is it's,
why does it look so bad?
We've come so far.
Sci-fi channel classic.
I'm going to have to see the trailer so I can at least get an image of what this is.
Philip, do you have a cool of the week?
Let's see.
I watched the new running man.
Okay.
Yeah, not bad.
I mean, I don't know if I'd call it my cool of the week, but it's all I got.
I watched that one, and then part of the old one until I fell asleep.
It was really good seeing Arnold just being Arnold in a movie.
That was fantastic.
But yeah, no, I like what they did with the new one.
I'm still, like, on the fence about this guy.
I feel like I really like him.
But he also has, like, the most punchable face I've ever seen.
You know what I mean?
Glenn Powell.
Glenn Powell, yeah.
He looks like a fucking dick.
but I mean, I'm sure he's the nicest guy in the world.
Yeah, that's why I looks like a dick.
That's why I don't like him.
I mean, the movie was awesome.
I walked out of enjoying it, but I was kind of, I just, this dude, I don't know.
I didn't like him.
Well, it's probably because he was the asshole and Maverick.
Yeah.
And then the asshole and Twisters or whatever that one was called.
So I'm just kind of like, uh, all right.
It's like even when he plays the good guy, he's kind of
an asshole.
All right, really quick.
All right, I'm watching this killer whale trailer and
I'll
I'll find it.
Yeah, and give it a shot.
It looks like they're just in front of a green screen.
Yeah, oh, there's a lot of green screen stuff going on.
All right.
Straight to sci-fi specials.
They saved money.
They didn't spend a lot of time at the beach.
I'll check it out.
Brian, what do you got?
All right, let me run through my list real quick.
Start with TV.
I checked out the first episode of the Game of Thrones spinoff
A Night of the Seven Kingdoms.
Oh, is that already out?
Yeah, just the first episode.
I don't know how to feel about this one.
I didn't know this was going to be a comedy series.
That's kind of what I gathered from the previews.
I haven't seen it at all.
because he's like the main character is like super tall so he's like hitting his head on door frames constantly
and the opening you get that familiar game of thrones theme song and then it immediately cuts off to him
taking a shit behind a tree well that's fun action buddy comedy is that what it is well he's got
a little squire with him a little kid that that might be fun the relationship with them but so far
the tone is kind of throwing me off.
And, uh,
I watched the entire series,
uh, season of his and hers,
a new murder mystery series on Netflix,
starring John Bernthal and Tessa Thompson.
Oh, yeah.
Pretty solid.
Yeah.
She plays a news reporter and he's a detective and there's like a string of murders
that happen that they're,
have a connection to
and there's also connection between them
that they get into so there's a lot of
twisty tourneys in there
so it was pretty decent
and it's only six episodes
what's that on
Netflix
okay
plus he seems like good casting for a cop
I like John Barrentel
yeah
I'm waiting for Punisher
and all that come out
come back yeah
movies I checked out
of course we talked about
the killer way
you can skip that one.
Checked out the rip.
How was that?
It's a lot of dialogue.
It's almost two hours and most of the action doesn't happen until like the last 30 minutes.
Oh, okay.
They're like undercover.
They get a tip to go search a stash house.
They find money.
Matt Damon said the tip was for $150,000 and they end up finding $20 million.
and there's a lot of which cop is dirty who's trying to steal it.
There's other group involved that's coming after them.
It's fine, but like I said, it's a lot of dialogue,
a lot of trying to create the tension of, you know,
because it's Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Stephen Young,
Glenn from the Walking Dead, a whole bunch of other people.
So they kind of try to steer you in this direction, that direction,
who might be the dirty cop.
Goodwill hunting two.
Hunting season.
And...
Or if anybody's seen Jay and Silent Bob,
there is a whole...
It's...
Yeah, yeah.
Watch it.
And my last movie I checked out was
Brian Fuller, who did the Hannibal series.
He directed a new movie called Dust Bunny,
starring Mads Mickleson.
and Sigourney Weaver.
Basically, it's a little girl who believes a monster from under her bed has killed her parents and ate them.
And she finds out that her neighbor, Mads Mikkelson, is a assassin, and she hires him to kill the monster.
It's very fantasy, a lot of action.
Where does Sigourney Weaver fit in?
I believe she is like Mads Mickleson's handler
Like he gets the jobs from her
That seems to be her
Jam lately
Yeah she pops up in these like minor roles
Yeah the overseer
She's the big bad that's in the movie for five minutes
Bitch
I had a lot of fun with this one
And I'm a big fan of Mads Mickleson
I like a lot of the roles he does
And he's pretty great
what did I just see him in?
He wasn't he wasn't the bad guy
Oh wow
Um
Well he played like an ass kicking good guy in something right
Fuck
Oh
You're like an eye patch or some shit
Or am I thinking
Oh
That idiot
That idiot
That played
They played Gambit
Um
Oh
Magic Mike
Um
Yeah
Yeah
Um
The one when he was hiding in Toys or Russ
Oh
Roof Man.
Madd-Mickleston was in that.
Was he?
Am I thinking of the right guy?
The guy from Rogue One?
Is that how you talking about?
Yeah.
Yeah, he was in a roof man.
He was...
Oh.
I think it was like a church guy or something.
I heard that was pretty good.
It was.
It was actually pretty good.
It was better than my thought was going to be.
Yeah.
He does not look like the real dude at all.
But I've got to get a good looking.
I feel like it looks weird.
in that movie.
It was actually pretty good.
It was a little interesting on what he did to hide.
He looks like cancer patient Channing Tatum or something.
I don't know, man.
There's something off about him.
Well, he was just living off of him and him.
It's like towards for us.
My cool of the week, you guys talked about it.
I'm not sure.
I think I made one of your guys as best of list.
Bagonia.
Yeah.
I saw that.
That movie one.
That movie was awesome.
Wasn't it?
I was like, okay, you're kind of leading me this way.
I'm not really sure if it's going to go that way.
And then when it got to the end, I was like, whoa.
Yeah.
I like this guy that made this movie.
I like that Poor Things and there was another one he had done.
Poor Things was where she was like the Frankenstein chick or something, right?
Yeah, when she was just banging everyone she could.
Yeah.
It was a weird movie, man
Naked through the whole movie
But I liked her in this man
She does it for the art man
Shaved her head and everything
So
But I liked what was happening
If you guys have not seen Begonio
We won't do spoil it or anything
But it's definitely worth watching
It's streaming on Peacock now
They could not have stuck the landing more
Uh-uh
I knew it was gonna be weird
And it was weird
do the whole thing. And the special effects, I thought they did a really good job
when shit got crazy, especially that last 40 minutes of the movie, 30 to 40 minutes,
it just went wild. I was like, damn, what the hell's happening here? I wasn't expecting all
that. But yeah, that movie was awesome. Other than the movie we're going to talk about later on,
yeah, I got out to the theater and seen that. If you can, if you have a,
depends on wherever you're at in the country or the world.
If you have the Cinemark XD or one of those ones with the super high loud speakers.
Oh, yeah.
Definitely.
Definitely.
Definitely go see 28 years later, the Bone Temple in that because it was loud.
It was so loud.
My old ear, my old man ears, I had to put my ear plugs in.
I was like, damn loud.
But speaking of Bagonia, really quick, the Academy Award nominations are out.
I'm just going to run through the best pictures.
These are the nominations.
There's 10 of them.
Bagonia.
F1,
Frankenstein,
is it Hamnet?
Yeah.
Party Supreme.
Yeah.
One battle after another.
The Secret Agent,
sentimental value,
Sinners and Train Dreams.
Yeah, sinners broke record.
16 nominations.
Wow.
Actor, director.
best picture
song or best song
I don't know what song it is in it
unless it's that one when I seen when everybody was
dancing but uh yeah
I'm gonna go the guitar scene I think
I'm gonna go golden from K-pop demon hunters
I love that song so they're nominated
there are a couple of good stuff
there's a couple of real stinkers too
but there's a couple of good ones
Has everybody seen K-pop Demon Hunters?
I don't know I
I've seen it a couple of years.
I haven't actually watched it, watched it, but I know all the songs.
I feel like I'm in a small group of people that have not seen it.
Yeah.
See, I heard the songs more than I'd seen the movie because of my grandsons.
And then when I finally sat through the whole movie, I was like, oh, okay, that's what these songs are about.
So I think that was why I enjoyed it so much.
I went to the sing a long one.
Is it more of a musical?
Yeah, pretty much.
when they break out in the song.
I'm tapping out.
But like old school Disney
musical is like it's like a
Disney type of stuff. Yeah.
I'll watch
it if my daughter wants to watch it.
I've asked her a couple
times and she's just like, nah.
Because that song Golden, it did win a Golden Globe
was the last week.
And when we did our
best album and best song
of the year, I heard Golden
so many times. I couldn't escape it and it just
stuck in my head. So I said
all right, I had to go with that. And now what we
did talk about it. I said, watch, it's going to be nominated
for Academy Award and it is.
So my
fingers are crossed with them. But as far as movies,
I've only seen five of them. I need to see
the other five to finish my Oscar watch.
For me, it's out of
sinners and begonia.
I know the little kid in that
Hamnet movie is going to be in the new
Exorcist movie.
Do we need another one?
Okay.
That last one was
good.
Wait, what happened to the series?
Was there a series or was it always a movie?
I heard that's coming later.
Oh.
I don't know if it's before or after this movie,
but I have to pick out of these.
I'm going to go with sinners.
For a horror movie
slash musical
type of thing, I mean,
I'm all.
for it. I'm surprised
that it
that is nominated
for Best Picture. Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
The substance last year was a shocker.
Should have won. It was robbed.
Yeah.
Yeah. Good movie.
And I hope Ryan Cougar wins
Best Director as well as
Disney from Oakland.
Yeah. That's the reason
I'm going with him. Horror movies are
where the creatives are right now.
I mean, that
it was more...
Weapons got a lot of nominations.
Unless you're creating some social justice drama
What other Oscar Bate movie could there be except horror?
Like you can get as weird as you want to
I mean we got two well
Yeah Frankenstein and it was a horror movie
But I could see why it was nominated
So what
Yeah I'm gonna go with that one
Bologna yeah it's if it wins I'll I'm not gonna be mad
but I would really want sinners to win
for a horror movie to win best picture
I think it would be
I know Silence of the Lambs won best picture
whenever that was 90 something
to me it wasn't a horror film
it was horrific yes
Silence of the Lambs is not a horror film
That it was more of a
He's a serial killer that eats people
No
Silence of the Lamb is not a slasher film
It was more of...
Trying to find another serial killer that skins women and wears their skin.
No, I thought it more of a thriller, a crime thriller to myself, man.
Don't get me wrong, I love that movie.
But I was like, this is not a horror movie.
Same thing with Jaws.
Jaws ain't a horror movie either.
But anyway, yeah, sinners, it gets my vote.
What is it?
It's like an action adventure.
I mean, Steve's an adventure.
Steven Spielberg said it.
Somebody asked.
Who's going on the adventure?
Those guys, they went fishing.
And that's what happens.
Some people argue me on the...
Generations are terrified to go in the water because of that movie.
People argue with me on the internet.
Well, it was a giant monster.
I said, okay, with that rationale, I said, is Jurassic Park a horror movie?
And then people go, no.
It's horror adjacent.
It's giant monsters.
He's chasing killing people.
Yeah.
Actually, that's a good point.
I see, if you're saying, Jaws is a horror movie,
movie in Jurassic Park isn't I would probably lean more with Jurassic Park with giant monsters trying to chew you to eat you up and everything but that was just a fishing adventure movie yeah they just didn't they didn't lean in enough in Jurassic Park to the horror aspect but it very well could have been a horror movie put that on the blue way it's just a fishing adventure movie
Steven Spielberg himself somebody asked him is is Jaws a horror movie he said no so I'm going with the the director but anyway
All right, moving on.
Fill up, you could take over now.
You're here.
All right.
What are we into?
Horror headlines?
Yeah.
Let's go, Brian.
What do we got?
Have you guys seen the summer camp movie,
Marshmallow?
Yes.
No.
Did I?
Maybe I did.
They announced that it's getting a sequel.
Everybody that made the movie is returning to do the sequel.
I thought this was a good little
underrated little indie horror movie
and if you haven't seen it
I'd go in without watching a trailer
Oh, that's
Well, let me stop the trailer
Yeah, don't do that
I just started it
Is that the one with the
Is that the little boy?
Yeah
Yeah, that's right
It was all right
It was all right
Yeah, I think I really ended up liking it
Because I didn't watch a trailer
or anything and the end
the twist at the end was something
I didn't expect to happen.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, fair enough.
Have you guys seen...
Oh, go ahead.
Sorry, I was going to say,
is that coming out...
Is that coming out this year
or just in...
Up for production?
Up for production.
They just announced that it's getting a sequel.
Oh, so this is...
It's on...
on AMC Plus.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Let me write that down, so I won't forget it.
Have you guys seen the mock trailer?
Bitch, don't go in that house, bitch?
Yes.
Yeah.
It's a house bitch.
Narrated by Snoop Dog and directed by Eli Roth.
He is now turning this into a feature-in-length movie starring Snoop Dogg.
And it will still be.
titled, Don't Go in That House, Bitch.
I just saw Eli Roth down in Vegas.
Fantastic.
Did you tell him you got a co-host that hates his work?
No.
I just shook his head and that was it.
He was cool.
I mean, just for the second that I met him.
I didn't get into the cabin fever screening, man.
It was sold out.
I was mad.
Well, you could have asked him about our next.
little news bit
a little bit more on Eli Roth.
Thanksgiving 2 filming has been
delayed due to scheduling
conflict.
It's not canceled. It's just
trying to get
all the actors
scheduling synced up
to film the movie.
Yeah, they want to come back.
Is that Eli Roth again?
Yeah.
Lance's arch nemesis.
First one.
Absolutely. Yeah.
What was a killer's name in that?
Just the Pilgrim or whatever?
Oh, he had a name.
Yeah, he had a name.
I feel like the Pilgrim would be a good name.
Sounds good to me.
I can't, I don't remember his name.
Yeah, he had a name.
I don't know.
I haven't seen this movie.
I haven't seen.
How did it?
I brought up the Exorcist earlier.
Mike Flanagan's The Exorcist gets a release date of March 12th,
27. That one, Flanagan. Is that a
series or a movie? Movie.
Oh, Flanagan's doing the movie. The Carrie
one that he's doing is the series.
Okay. And that one was suspecting
we're going to get a trailer
for that one real soon because they finished
filming about a month ago.
What is this called?
The Exorcist. Yeah.
They haven't gave it
titles just Mike Flanagan's The Exorcist,
starring Scarlett Johansson.
And it is not a remake.
It's a new story.
They're not remaking it or expanding on the original story.
It's a whole new take.
Good decision.
What's wrong on, Lance?
What's wrong, Kevin?
Sorry, I called you Lance because Lance is usually the
I didn't like that last one
The Believers or whatever the hell it was called
I was just like really
Oh you like you like Mike Flanagan
I like him but I didn't like
That last Exorcist movie
Yeah
It has nothing to do with that one
Yeah that last Exorcist movie was kind of
Yeah
They could have called it something
They could have just called it the believers
And just left
The Exorcists out
I mean but Mike Flanagan
Every minute he's done so far
The Haunting on Hillhounds
and Dr. Sleep and Midnight Mass.
I thought those were good.
Dr. Sleep is probably my favorite.
I liked what he did there.
Oh, yeah, I forgot he did that one.
All right.
Man, I was kind of hoping for a series out of this one.
But I'll take a movie.
Mike Flanagan movie.
Done.
Well, he did Ouija Origin of Evil.
Yeah, the good one.
Oh, that was the good one.
Was that the second one?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, that was the good one.
I don't remember that first one was garbage.
Yeah, the first one.
one was garbage.
Let's see.
The new Paranoma activity movie gets a release date of May 21st,
2027.
And I wasn't looking forward to this one,
but when we looked at that trailer last week,
undertone about the podcaster,
and we talked about how sound design
was probably going to play a big part in the movie.
I think if he can,
he's directing the new paranormal activity.
I think if he can,
bring a good sound design
an atmosphere to the new one. I think it'll turn out
to be something new and different.
Yeah.
That's another one where you can just pick
whatever story you want to do with
paranormal activity.
Yeah, great. Yeah.
Like it doesn't have that I thing to do
with the rest of it.
That last one was terrible.
Next to Ken.
Well, this tells me something
that this one's going to theater as
opposed to that last one went straight to streaming.
They probably have a little bit more faith than this one.
If you guys didn't see the last one, all you got to do is watch the end.
That's the most exciting part.
I didn't mind it.
I didn't mind it.
I didn't like it.
The ending was awesome, but I was just like, ah, come on, something happened.
Is that the bit with the well?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's fine.
I'm going to have to rewit.
I at least saw it one time.
I watched it the one time,
Brian,
we might have to...
There's like eight of them.
We all blend together.
I liked all of them,
except for the last one.
I didn't mind most of them.
I didn't like the 3D one.
What is it?
Ghost dimension.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Did you see it in 3D?
Because the 3D looked good.
The 3D looked good.
That was about it.
It was all right.
I mean, I...
Wasn't that the one with like the Xbox thing?
Yeah.
That was...
That one.
No, they did.
No, what?
No, that's right.
I thought that was the 3D one.
No.
With the Xbox Connect.
It should have been.
That one would have been cool in 3D.
My favorite one, other than the first is the marked ones.
That one was awesome.
Oh, the little spin-off one?
Yeah, when they were in the hood, in the Mexican hood.
Yeah, that one was hell of good.
I like they connected it to the first one.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man.
I don't want to fall down that whole, Brian, but we might have to do watch that one.
for frightful reflections.
All right.
Put it on the list.
Yeah.
The Conjuring First Communion,
the prequel movie,
is coming to theater
September 10, 2027.
I thought they were done with it.
That's what I thought.
When we reviewed
the last conjuring,
I set it on here,
they're done with Patrick Wilson
and Vera Formiga. They're not done with
the Warrens. These movies
make too much money for them.
are they just going to get the younger
conjuring what?
The Conjuring First Communion.
I think they're going to get younger actors,
but I don't think it will be the actors
that were in the last one in the flashback.
I think they're just going to get
more known people.
Yeah.
I think they've already done a lot of the
of the Warren's most famous cases, at least.
So, I mean, but you know,
they could delve into some.
I wouldn't mind if it was a series.
Yeah.
Different case each episode.
Monster of the Week thing?
That'd be cool.
Yeah. That'd work.
And lastly,
you got something to add, Matt?
No, no, I was just thinking,
yeah, they're kind of done, really.
I think they should have just put it to bed.
Yeah.
So I watched a thing on the Y files on the Warrens.
and most of
it gets a little disappointing.
But
I don't even remember the last one.
Pretty bullshit.
Everybody's got a book deal.
Who were they fighting in the last one?
Ghost.
I know, but
yeah. I remember the one with the court case.
The demon.
It was the family, wasn't it?
They did that TV movie.
Remember?
I don't know if you were on that one.
They did like a TV movie in the 90s.
Oh, I had to look at pictures.
All right, okay.
I have to rewatch this because I don't remember.
All I remember was the one before.
The devil something.
Cold case one.
Yeah, the devil made me do it.
Not good.
That was a COVID time.
You know, we keep saying it's not good,
but I do remember that one.
I remember that one more than the last one.
Yeah.
Because that was the one
when it went straight to HBO
when...
It's because it's your mind
making you remember the not good one.
Maybe.
I mean, I was excited for it
and I wanted to go to the theater
but the world fell apart.
So we had to watch it at home,
but...
I might have to go back and watch the last two.
So...
Hey, you got a new friend.
Yeah.
He's being cool.
Mine just tries to eat me.
And finishing up horror headlines,
we got casting news on the second
Evil Dead movie that's coming.
The first one's already done filming,
which is Evil Dead Burn.
The second one,
they're about to start production.
Cast Jessica McNameh,
Charlotte Hope, and Zach Guilford.
And this is,
going to be directed by Francis
Galaloupie.
So is this a separate story or is
like a continuation
or spinoff of something that's
happened? Both new
ones that are coming out are
spin-offs. They're in the
universe, but they're not continuation.
Okay. I just
seen the hell is that chick's name.
I think it was the mom
and Evil Dead Rise.
Alyssa Southerland.
Yeah, I saw her. She was in Vegas.
yes who man
oh she's tall too
she's tall too I was like she came
walking by and she just went high and went whoa
that was all I said whoa
and then she kept walking
so I was I was surprised
but I did talk to
um
uh Jane Levy
from uh the Evil Dead
the remake she gonna come back
uh I don't know she not had a
great time making that movie
I was talking to her about that TV show, Suburgatory.
Oh.
Everyone was throwing Evil Dead stuff at her and this and that.
I said, what happened to this show?
I said, did he get canceled?
She would know, they just told us, don't come back.
We're done.
She was, so I was like, oh, man, if you guys haven't seen Suburgatory, it was a good show.
That's the first thing I had seen her in until Evil Dead came out.
But, yeah, that was my Evil Dead experience.
weekend past weekend
all right that's the news
all right
on to the trailer part
where we take a bring you the big
the small and sometimes the very
very weird
Brian
what are we getting
the first and only trailer
we got is the mortuary
assistant
from what I understand
this is based off a video game
okay I feel like the name
sounds familiar
although it is a little generic
is this
what I understand it's a very
popular video game
I've never heard of it I'm a
gamer I've never heard of it
is it a video game trailer
no it's a film adaptation
oh here I'm watching the video game trailer
the video game trailer
scary
I was gonna say damn now I kind of want to play the game
yeah I think you're
supposed to like get your
autopsy work done before
ghosts like
possessed of corpses and
try to get you or something. I might
have just made up my own game
but I think that's what it's about.
It'd be kind of fun.
Is this? Yeah, just look
on PlayStation. Just look on PlayStation.
Yeah, the mortuary assistant.
Is this straight to shutter or in the theater?
This is getting a theater
release first.
It's like operation, but if you screw up, there's demons.
Oh, it's an anthology?
I'm watching the trailer.
No, no.
That's not it?
No.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm watching the mortuary collection.
My bad.
Which is, that's not bad either.
Yeah.
It looks like an exorcism movie.
Oh, okay, here we go.
All right.
Yeah.
I'm curious about the trailer.
It looks good.
This is also a show.
It looks like a cross-chain
like evil dead
and, uh, or autopsy of Jane Doe.
Yeah, there you go.
Those kind of vibes.
What was that movie that took place in a whole, uh, mortuary?
Uh, yeah, autopsie of Jane Doe.
Probably the autopsy of Jane Doe.
No, no, no, yeah, not that one.
They did, there was another one that was similar to it.
Yeah, I saw in the theater. What the hell was it called?
Corps of Anna Fritz.
I, um,
No, no one.
Oh, you're talking about the one where the girl gets a job in a mortuary.
She's like a security guard or something.
I think so.
What the hell is that?
Ooh, I'm watching this, everyone.
We're getting yelled that.
Yeah, oh, my gosh.
See, I like this stuff.
I know what you're talking about.
Yeah, whatever that movie was.
The girl, I actually, the main actress agreed to come to an interview with us,
and then her people got involved.
involved and shut it down.
If anyone's...
I think we should know what that is.
If anyone is anybody and you want to come on the show,
just come on. Leave you people out of it.
Yeah. Oh, dude, this looks creepy.
That actually happened twice. I got one of the
actresses from
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
The Redhead, Brad Pitt
smashes her face.
Oh, nice. She agreed to do an interview and then
all of a sudden she was like
here's the email to my people they need to speak to you first.
I was like, well, this interview's not happening.
Yeah.
Well, this looks good.
A lot of, looks like there's going to be a lot of jump scares.
You think it might be too many jump scares?
Hopefully they just didn't show me the whole thing in the trailer.
That's probably it.
Which I hate when they do that.
They show you the whole movie.
And then some trailers, you would show you the ending.
Let's see.
Synopsis follow.
The movie follows Rebecca Owens, a mortuary science graduate who takes a night job
at Riversfield's mortuary.
What begins as routine jobs soon turns sinister as she faces terrifying supernatural forces.
Yeah, it's kind of like that film without the girl is,
like a new cop
and she goes to the precinct
which is closing down
what's that called? The last shift? Yeah that's it.
Yeah that's it. Yeah that's
you kind of get those vibes.
That was really good, really good. Did you guys
ever see the remake?
It was a remake? Yeah, that was really good
really good as well. Yeah, Malam
I think. Malum.
Malum.
2023, I think, wasn't it?
Yeah, I think the same director
basically did a Sam
Amy Evil Dead got a little bit more money and
Ray did it.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good.
Okay.
Oh, I did see this one.
Malam?
When does this one come out?
This one comes out February 13th in theaters and then I'm sure they'll
announce the shutter date after that.
It does look like Evil Dead slash.
Autopsy of Jane Doe thing.
That was a good description.
Yeah. Interesting.
I'll watch it.
All right.
On to some listener
feedback this week. We're going to shine
the podcast spotlight on
Eternal Darkness of a Not-So-Spotless Mind.
Hey.
Hey. Hey.
A film review podcast
with a focused on horror movies and related
topics hosted by
our buddy Matt here.
And Kate. A couple of fools.
chatting about horror and stuff.
Thanks.
All right.
That's great, but we're not doing them anymore.
Oh, no.
Yeah, no.
Unfortunately, yeah, Kate's,
check out the old ones.
Yeah, no, unfortunately, it's really sad, but yeah,
we've had to agree it to a close.
Yeah, basically, Kate's work schedule has got to get too much
because she started a new business.
and she hasn't got time to do it unfortunately
I mean she's gutted we're both gutted
but that's just life isn't it
you know so understandable
all good things come to an end
go go check out their old episodes
they're fantastic
and Matt you're always welcome to come on anytime
and maybe we'll make it kind
thank you Brian absolutely
wish this space
and yet some more feedback
on the upcoming TV series of the bird
um Ryan McDid that's probably not how you say that says rebooting original stories for the generation that never heard or even seen the originals
uh Lee Matthews says the peacock original thing is a bit misleading yeah uh Randall Perkins says so stunning so brave
classic
I think that movie is going to make
record breaking numbers streaming
just for the fact that people are going to
hate watch it
yeah
yeah probably
and then viewership will drop
right after that
all right and in regards to
28 years later the Bone Temple
Todd Haig says
feels like this franchise has completely
gone on
off the rails.
Watch the movie,
then come talk to me.
In regards to Deep Star 6,
Richard Collins says,
I used to watch this all the time
when I was a kid.
Lorraine Lone says,
fun movie,
love the underwater horror flicks,
watched it the other day.
And Don Lowry says,
loved this as a kid,
seeing that thing,
bite buddy in half
was something I wasn't
expecting. Absolutely loved it.
All right. And in regards
to the 2006, Black Christmas.
A good remake.
That was the remake from the original.
Yeah.
Pat Crusoe says,
Not sure if it's coincidence. Only good
remakes happen to be horror.
My Bloody Valentine, Dawn of the Dead,
Snyder's only good movie.
Oh.
The blob, Night of the Living Dead, the Fly,
and Black Christmas
to name a personal few.
and Nez stepped away for a second,
but if he was here,
he'd hold up his copy of 2019's Black Christmas.
Maybe not wrong on those others, though.
Yeah.
He makes a valid point.
Mm-hmm.
Because the remakes are definitely the better on,
with the exception,
maybe Dawn of the Dead,
night of the Living Dead.
just because it's hard to go against the originals.
Yeah.
But they were still solid.
All right.
Matthew Gudro says the departed,
the magnificent seven,
the Maltese Falcon,
true grit,
some like it hot,
etc.
There's plenty,
but horror has the highest volume
for a singular genre.
The 1941 Maltese Falcon
is the third adaptation,
and some like a,
Hot is a remake of the 1950s
German film,
which was adapted from a French film
from 1935.
Huh.
Look at the big thing on,
Matthew Goudreau.
All right, in regards to
Dr. Jackal and Mr.
Shark, Steve Carlton says, what in the
AI hell is this nonsense?
If they only
spend five minutes and a prompt
on the poster, there's no luck for
the film.
Film is in
quotations.
Yeah, you guys,
if you haven't seen it,
you guys got to look
at the poster.
It'll tell you
exactly what the movie's
going to be.
Do something
ridiculous that people
will watch.
In regards to
the autopsy of Jane
Doe, there you go.
Madison,
Estes says,
good movie.
All right,
well, that's all we got
for that one.
I guess that wasn't
super quality
feedback,
but you get
the idea. Um, our
intro and logos come from
Steve Carlton from the geeks. He's got some great
great t-shirts that just
came out on the website. If you go to thehorror
returns.com, uh, you can find
her stuff there. Check out some of the t-shirts. They're awesome.
Yeah, just dropped as Jasper the clown.
Yeah.
With, uh, with the regular
version and a variant, uh, bloody version.
Both on our T public shop.
Bloody version is pretty solid.
Original skull artwork from Natsuani.
And please consider becoming Patreon patron,
let you pick the movies for a future show at Ian Mount.
And for $5 or more a month,
also pick commentary for a future bonus show.
All right, let's get to it.
We fight zombies with our friend Matt this week,
and 28 weeks later from 2007.
We'll start with that.
Six months after the...
the rage virus was inflicted on the population of Great Britain,
the U.S. Army helped secure a small area of London
for the survivors to repopulate and start again.
But not everything goes according to plan.
Director is Juan Carlos Fresnadeo,
also known for last year's Damsel.
Oh.
The Millie Bobby Brown movie.
Yeah.
Not a bad one.
Yeah.
Uh, writers are one
Carlos Fresnadillo
with Rowan Jaffe and
Enrique Lopez Levine.
All right.
Um,
the farm that Don and Alice
hide out in the start of the film
is the same farm that appears in
Children of Men from 2006.
Huh.
Nice fun.
Oh.
Uh, the boy who arrives at the
cottage in the beginning of the film,
claims to be from Sanford.
Sanford is the name of a fake village
used by British police to train recruits
and practice emergency preparedness drills.
The street plans
of which is based on
Dundee, Scotland.
Sanford
is also
the fictitious locale
for another action comedy
Hot Fuzz.
This may be an end joke
based on the fact that the team behind
Hot Buzz had previously made
Sean of the Dead, a zombie
comedy that poked fun at 28
days later by
dismissing rage infected monkeys
as a source of its own zombie
plague. By mentioning Sanford,
the makers of 28
weeks later now seem to be returning
the favor.
A little back and forth.
Sort of.
Matt,
you know, start us out on 28 weeks later?
Yeah.
Sure. So, yeah, so this came out in 2007.
This is my first watch. I've never seen this before.
I've seen the original.
It's got a big cast.
But, yeah, for some reason, I didn't get around to watch on this.
And then, yeah, I watched it last night.
I really quite enjoyed this one.
It had all the rage zombie stuff.
I kind of want.
I mean, I'm not, I'm not, I'll be honest,
I'm not the biggest zombie movie fan.
However, I find the rage zombie,
you know, the fast zombie,
quite exhilarating, you know,
it's pretty intense.
It creates, yeah,
creates a vibe that makes people anxious
because it's so fast-paced
you're like, oh shit, what's going to happen next?
What's going to happen next?
And it's, you know, the film's really intense
in that respect.
Yeah, I like the characters,
like the story and how it went.
Yeah, visually, really quite impressive.
Yeah, I see it.
I really quite enjoyed it.
Yeah, that's all I can say right now
without any, well, spoilers, 2007,
but I won't spoil it.
I won't spoil it.
Okay.
until like uh niz what do you think i like this one i thought it was uh
it was more of a movie movie not like how the the first one was indie and the way they filmed it all
they got more actors that that we knew yeah yeah so i mean i really love what was going on this
my favorite part in the whole film was the very beginning with um that guy's only gazo to me from uh for
for the full Monty.
Robert Collar.
Yeah, but the beginning, man, that was like horrific and sad.
And what would you do if you were in that situation?
And the way the rage virus, I'm watching this,
the way the rage virus affects you so quickly, like instantly pretty much.
It was crazy.
And then as we find out the whole city is quarantined and there's this part of the city
where we can't go and the military's involved.
We got Hawkeye and we've got,
what's his nuts?
Edress.
Like gentlemen, Edress, we got him.
Oh, Edgerson.
And what's your name from Insidious and all that?
So, but I thought it was really good.
I liked what was going on.
There was, of course, there was a bigger budget in this.
So we got more scenery.
And then at the end, yeah, it's not much of a spoiler.
It just came out years ago.
I liked what they did.
I liked how it pretty much
it continued from the first story
and then just rolled right into this.
But yeah, I really liked this one.
I thought it was awesome.
Okay.
Brian, what do you think?
Yeah, I agree with everybody.
I like this one too.
The cast was good.
Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner,
Idris Alba.
The one guy that pops up in everything,
Harold Peronaut, he was the helicopter pilot.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
And Imogen Putes acting in a real movie.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
In a real movie, not the Black Christmas remake.
I like that one, Matt.
She wasn't terrible in the movie.
The writers were.
I like that they're kind of progressing a story along
because you got Roseburn who kind of plays a cliche character,
the doctor who is trying to warn people.
has the facts but nobody's listening to her.
And one of my favorite scenes
is, which I have a question
to ask you guys. One of my favorite
scene is when they find out
Robert Carlisle's wife is still alive and they bring
her back and he sneaks
in to see her and he kisses her and the saliva
from her mouth instantly infects him.
I thought she bit him.
No.
It's not. Oh, okay.
Did she do that on purpose?
I think so.
Because when he's...
It seemed like it.
Flipping out on the floor,
she kind of has like this look on her face.
Like that's what you gave.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She got that.
Yeah.
You left me.
You left me look.
Yeah.
Which turns real violent for her because he just beats her and then shows both his thumbs in her eyes.
Which says he always sticks out to me.
And then another scene that's still.
sticks out to me is
Hawkeye, Jeremy
Renner, does not make it to the end
of the movie. He meets
the end of some flamethrowers
trying to help them escape.
That was quite surprising.
I wasn't expected that, to be fair.
Yeah, Roseburn
doesn't make it either.
Well, he's always got to be the one to sacrifice
himself. Yeah.
Here's the question for you.
I only asked this because I was
I got off early from work the other day
and I was trying to hurry and get to Costco
before it closed.
I didn't want to wait for the shuttle
so I was kind of just jogging along.
I'm a fat guy, boys and girls.
And then what came into my head
as I was kind of trotting along,
I was like,
what if there was a zombie outbreak
and all this?
And like they said,
and I was the zombie land,
the fatties went first?
Do you think you guys,
as much as running as
do with these fast zombie movies.
Like at the beginning of this, when Gazzo's running from the house,
and then he's just hauling ass.
There's a whole group behind him.
And then another group comes over the hills.
So there's probably like about 30 of them running after him.
Do you guys think you have the will and the strength to outrun a mob of infected?
No anymore.
I have bad joints.
I was going to say, man, I'm older than I used to be.
my best
scenario is probably try to fight it out
the best I could
yeah
yeah same
I've got ammo for that
yeah
it depends on how many
if there's a mob
I'm just all right man
I'm gonna jump off something
and kill myself
as far as running
oh man
I was huffing and puffing
just jogging to the parking lot
and
I don't think I don't think
I don't think I don't think
I'd make it.
Like they said,
the fatties went first.
I'd fight them like the alpha
from the new one.
I'd take as many as I could with me.
So.
Looking up stuff
for this movie, I found out,
have you guys heard about how much money
this movie lost on marketing?
They did?
No.
No.
Because they had a street team
basically spray paint
the logo of the movie with a
website address.
and they spray painted it all over the city in different areas.
Come to find out they didn't own the website yet.
So somebody that looked up the website,
realized they didn't own it and he bought it for basically nothing.
And they had to like negotiate a deal to buy it back from him.
Not even buy it back because they never even owned it.
dude
smart guy
yeah yeah
you should have thought about that
before you started doing that
yeah definitely
definitely true
maybe you set up the website
before you start paying people
to advertise it
all right Phil
what did you think about it
it's all right
it may be my least
favorite 28
whatever later movie
but
That doesn't mean it's not good.
It did have a killer cast.
It was definitely more of a Hollywood production movie than the very indie-ish original one.
But I liked it.
I think it was solid.
All of these movies are pretty good as far as zombie movies go.
And this one's got the cast and the story to back it up.
I do, it is slightly forgetful, though.
I don't know.
I just remember the beginning.
I didn't, I didn't rewatch this, but I've seen it enough times.
And the beginning stuck out to me the most.
Yeah, watching.
Yes.
Yeah.
Because I rewatch these with the first one and the first 28 years later,
because I kind of went through the series before we got to the new one with my daughter.
Yeah.
And this one, you don't really need to watch it to go.
along with the overall story of the franchise.
It's kind of like a side story.
It is. It doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of it.
This is the Tokyo Drift of the series.
Yeah, that's a good one, though.
Tokyo Dr. Dr. was hell of good.
I know.
Tokyo Drift was hell of good.
I mean, I liked what they did here because, I mean, just the way the first one ended,
we're like, so did they make it?
I mean, well, what happened?
How we got to see is an airplane up in the sky.
that was flying over over the little help sign gives you a little extra lore but a but a good a good a good solid bubble of a movie and uh i think i think it works that way yeah i think it yeah it tied up a lot of loose ends from the first but then it also looked like they were going to set it up for um you know 28 months later in paris yeah did you get that you know at the end yeah and i thought okay well what happened
to that film. Where did that go?
Obviously, they shelved it all just...
Yeah.
I spent too much money and casting on this one.
Yeah, because at the end, we see them all,
the infected all running towards the Eiffel Tower.
So...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I would like to see...
Did it reach America, or did it just stay over there?
So that's what I wanted to know.
I mean,
Zach Snyder's Dawn of the Dead.
If you watch all the extras on the Blu-ray or DVD, whichever one you have,
they showed like a little fake news thing on how it infected.
And it just spread throughout the world super fast.
So in that film, it was happening all over the world.
I wanted to know, did this somehow make it to America or other parts of the world?
So, I mean, I don't know.
because they never really mentioned like America.
Well, if it gets, if the infection goes that fast,
it might be pretty easy to contain, I would think.
And I'm one of the few, I don't really think these are zombie movies.
They're just more of an infected people because they weren't really eating anyone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But we'll come back to that when we talk about the new one.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, because they technically, they don't, they don't get the virus.
die and come back.
Yeah.
They just change.
It's not like if you
sprinkled the virus on
injected into a dead body.
It was going to bring the body back to life.
It was just like it was living.
The virus was living through
living people.
And that's how they were.
Did they?
Yeah.
Did they rip anybody apart?
No.
I don't think so.
Can you can you just?
stab them or make them bleed out
and then they die and go away.
It was pretty much like that. I mean, they didn't, they weren't
like superpowered until
20 years later with the alpha.
It was more like a real life take
on what a zombie
infestation might be.
It was, it was just like that
infection, the rage virus
that they made and it just
made you crazy and
spit blood all over everyone.
They might, they would, they,
They were biting people, but they weren't eating anyone because the mom in this one, she had that bite mark on her arm.
Or she had bite marks all over her.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They didn't like take.
They were just infecting you.
They weren't like taking chunks out of you.
It was more like rabies, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because in some of these movies, when they bite somebody, they're not munching down on them.
They just bite them and then they go to the next person.
Well, rabies is about the closest real.
thing we have to zombies so I think that makes sense well it made um what was that monkey's name
ben it primate it made it go crazy all right scores matt what do you think uh i'm gonna go for right
well so i don't know if you know my scoring i'm harser the most uh but i'm gonna give it seven out
10 so probably 7 out of 10 is more likely to be an 8 out of 10 for everybody else if that makes
sense fair enough no i enjoyed it i'll go up a point more i'll give it an 8 i enjoyed the whole
movie there you haven't i thought everybody was good and i was entertained um i would put it in the
order on how they came out i love the first one and then this one um i would have liked the 28 months
later but yeah i don't know that just seemed to just fall apart but i was glad that they came back to
it all these years later but this one uh it was just continuation it wasn't continuation for our
heroes from the first film but it was more of just this this is happening in other parts of the
uk so yeah i was like cool i like what was going on yeah the overall story of course of how
it went wild and then they kind of calmed it down to where we can kind of go back to somewhat
of a normal life before all hell broke loose again.
So I like it.
They said, yeah, they said they'd starved, hadn't they?
Yeah, because at the end of the last one, yeah, they said they were starving and just dying.
So I figured, but I assume somewhere along the way, it just kept infecting people before maybe those people's dropped.
They got affected by someone and then, you know how it goes.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, Brian?
Yeah, I'm going to meet you guys right in the middle with a seven and a half.
I thought the cast was great.
But I do think you don't need to watch this movie in the overall franchise story.
I mean, it's a good watch, but if you're going into it thinking stuff is going to carry on in the other movies,
it doesn't really happen like that.
But it's still a good watch, though, seven and a half.
Yeah, separate little side movies.
I'm gonna give it a 7
That was good
Definitely good
This whole series is pretty freaking solid
Um
Again I end
This one's pretty awesome
And it's my least favorite one
So there's that
That's a good sign
All right
On to 28 years later
The Bone Temple
From right now
26
As Spike is inducted into
to Jimmy Crystal's gang on the mainland.
Dr. Kelson makes a discovery that could alter the world.
Director and writer is Ni Acosta, also known for Candyman and Little Woods.
The voiceover in the trailer is the writer and futurist Arthur C. Clark,
taken from his appearance on the BBC Horizon program on September 21st, 1964.
Okay.
The Bone Temple set was constructed from around 5,500 skulls and 150,000 bones, each of which was individually cast, attached to 1,000 uprights or columns.
I would assume cast as in, like, their fake columns.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would hope.
Disappoints me.
Well, you know, you always think about the poltergeist thing where they use the real bones.
That's true.
All right, Matt, what did you think about the new one?
I'm coming in as the lance of the show, I think.
Oh, no.
I'm afraid so.
didn't like this.
I didn't like the last one either.
Yeah, that one was all right.
For me, okay, for me,
I just don't like the direction
that both of them have gone in.
I think, yeah,
this whole temple thing is bollocks.
The whole fucking alpha male is bollocks.
the whole Jimmy Saville thing
what the fuck are we doing
I don't get it
I don't know why they're utilizing that
in the film there's no sense
I will get to that we'll get to that
unless you want to talk about it now
explain to us the Jimmy Saville thing
who is this the one they based it off of
okay Jimmy Saville
was a TV
personality who came to the forefront in the in the 70s really he used to do a show
called Top of the Pops which is like a music show where you know music was was played live and
there'd be like people dancing but even on there he would be on the show and he'd be like
touching the girls asses and doing stuff like live on camera but it was like oh it's Jimmy it's
Jimmy and then he did this show called Jim Will Fix It,
where basically kids would write in and get him to do good deeds for them.
Like, oh, could you fix it for me to go in a helicopter or meet some famous star or something?
And he would do this show and he would get these things done.
And then he'd had these children kind of like around him, like sat on his lap.
It's fucking creepy.
anyway he got he was really popular um but and he got in with the royals the royal family they were
kind of saying how great he was uh they started giving him keys to hospitals because he was doing
all this charity stuff uh for kids in need handicapped children uh and stuff but anyway what
transpired and he was quite open about this and people weren't
really taking on board.
He was a massive, massive paedophile.
I mean, just literally all the time.
He was getting kids in.
It was just, it was fucking horrendous.
And the BBC covered it up.
Or just kind of like, they kind of knew about it.
And they kind of, yeah, they hushed it up.
So there's a real big fucking thing.
And he was mates of Rolf Harris,
who's the Australian singer who did the art thing.
He was also a paedophile.
Gary Glitter.
There was a big
pedophile ring
and anyway,
Jimmy Saville was like,
you know,
like the head and
he...
The Epstein from back in the day.
Yeah, basically,
yeah,
but he only died
six,
six years ago.
Just,
he died just as he was,
I think,
you know,
it all basically came out.
Did he have that crazy blonde hair?
So yeah, so he did.
He had that kind of crazy blonde hair.
He used to wear the tracksuits.
Oh.
And he used to wear sort of jingly, jangly chains.
He's going, now, then, now then.
So, yeah, so that's Jimmy Saville, the fucking nonce.
Anyway.
Here's another question.
What is it that he said in the movie?
Okay.
What's that?
How's that?
Oh, how's that?
How's that?
How's that?
That is that.
that is a cricket term
so I don't know
why that was used that makes
absolutely no sense
because he didn't say that
this goes with my theory
that
he knew of this person
and maybe things that he did
and he picked this as a costume
to show how evil
and to be feared he was
because
I think you're probably right
I think you're probably right
I think he basically just like,
it's evil personified.
Yeah, there you go.
And yeah, I think,
I think you're absolutely right.
I think that's a connection.
Obviously,
he wants to be with Old Nick,
you know, Satan.
So I think,
I think you're probably right in that respect.
Why they're using Jimmy Saville,
you know,
I have no idea.
I think it's a bit,
bit twisted to use him,
as a caricature in a film personally
just because I know what the guy did
did you see the movie before
you saw the Jimmy character at the end
before you knew he was in it
the last movie yeah the last movie
oh I see so
when yeah at the end
yeah obviously the Jimmy jumps out with his jimmies
and I was just like
what the fuck
that looks like Jimmy Saville
why what is going on with this I don't get it
and then and then obviously left
the cinema and I was like looking online going
okay so Jimmy Sable what the fuck it
it is Jimmy Sable what what the fuck is going on
I just didn't understand why that was being
utilized
so they made an argument in this movie
well okay so yeah there are a bunch of
bunch of assholes
anyway
back to my opinion
look
I think
I think the film
is produced very well
I think it's shot very well
some of the shots were fantastic
the cinematography really good
and use of the cameras
and stuff
the gore is pretty
decent
this is the stuff that I like
I want to see stuff
getting ripped up and
stuff
I don't think
they
used the rage virus enough in that
I wanted to see the hordes of
the infected. That's what I want. That's what I want. That's why
I know I don't even like zombie rage films but that's what I
wanted and then I think this they kind of distracted
from the original story so much and they're just
you know they're basically taking the concept and then just
going around, well, how can we modernize it?
I mean, I understand that. You need to,
you need to change things and need to make it
different. I just
don't like the direction that they've gone in.
I just like, what are we
doing? What are we doing? I mean,
the whole thing with
old Nick, or whatever,
what was his character's name?
Dr. Ian?
Ralph, Ralph, yeah,
Dr. Ian.
I mean, what was that? That whole
bromance thing. So I don't want to go
into spoilers, but
really
yeah.
Yeah, I don't want to
go into spoilers, but
yeah, yeah,
yeah, no, I don't want to
go into spoilers too much, but yeah,
not for me, this one.
Okay.
Nez, what do you think?
I'm sorry, man, but I thought this one was
fucking awesome.
I thought so.
I didn't know
the, the, the,
the behind the Jimmy stuff.
I knew people were upset about it and why did they choose the imagery for him for the Jimmy in this film and the rest of the Jimmy's?
I didn't know any of that.
I did some reading.
I mean, you kind of went a little more on what I read.
So, yes, that's terrible.
I don't understand why the directors did go that route.
But as far as the real Jimmy being that evil person and the Jimmy, the jimmies,
in the movie to see how evil they were.
Because at the last one, they left us off,
who are these guys?
I mean, we figured out that that was the Jimmy
in the beginning of the film on the first one.
And then at the end, we're like,
what the hell?
Who are these guys?
The tracksuit mafia.
Parkour track suit ninjas.
I was like, who the hell are these dudes?
And then the movie was over.
But when this one rolled in
and what they were doing on how evil they were,
I was like, whoa, okay.
And then also knowing about who they portrayed it on, I was like, oh, okay, yeah, that's, that's eerie.
I think here in America, they probably did like, eh, whatever, didn't take it as much as over there where you're at to where you guys were like, ah, because I'm, some of, I was watching TikTok videos from people over there.
And they were, oh, man, why?
And they were like, mad, boycott this movie.
And I was like, whoa.
So they do portray him as the son of old Nick,
who I've never heard of Old Nick,
but I guess is that like a common thing in England?
In the UK?
No, not really.
I mean, I knew what he meant.
I thought he was talking about Santa Claus.
I know.
I did think that first.
It didn't click Old Nick until he had the conversation with Ray Fines,
and I was like,
Oh.
I was like, I don't get it, but all right.
Jack O'Connell, I mean, he was awesome as sinners and other things I've seen him in.
But this was his movie to shine.
Yeah.
And to be that.
Oh, is this the guy from sinners?
I knew I recognized him.
I just couldn't figure out where.
I liked him more than in sinners.
Yeah, me too.
He was like, oh, my God, who is this guy?
And why is he this way?
But, I mean, we don't know what happened to him between being a little boy up to this point on what he went through to survive and everything to do what he does, to manipulate and basically brainwash the whole Jimmy game to get them to do everything that was going on.
Spike, I was happy that, because at the end of the first one, we do leave off with him.
we find out more, okay, this is
what happened to Spike
what he got involved in
and then
Dr. Kelston, Ray finds to
see a little more
of his backstory. They do
get some flashbacks. They're showing this in the trailer
so it's not a spoiler. So I
was like, all right, because we got just a little bit of him
in the last film. And I was like, is he
an evil person? Is this just some guy
that's just killing people and making
this bone temple? But,
I mean, they explained a little more on that.
Then we see why he's doing what he's doing here.
So I liked all that.
And the music choices that they use throughout the film,
I thought they hit good.
We'll talk about that and spoilers.
But as far as the Samson character,
I was kind of like,
why do we have these new brand of infected people?
the slow-mo's.
Get that man some pants.
Did they like change it up because it wasn't
as big as it was.
It wasn't as big as it wasn't a first
bowl.
And why did I notice that?
Because I had watched the first
right before I went into the theater.
It seemed that I was like, hey, did it shrink?
It must have been good.
Okay.
But it got cold.
Because they were showing it a little more
in this one, especially when he was just
standing there.
And it's like right there on that big
XD screen.
But I was like,
why are there's alphas and this and that now
and the slow mo's?
But they did say that one that the rage infected
mutated into other things.
And it just kind of.
It was basically like steroids to some.
Yeah.
Because I wanted to know,
was Samson already a big giant dude like that?
Or did the rage virus make him?
Well, he seemed to get all the steroids.
Because nobody else was as big as him.
Yeah.
Yeah, but he looked like, because, well, I guess we'll get into it.
And in the, we'll get into it in spoilers.
I can't realize.
I like that we saw a backstory of Samson.
I didn't know we were going to get that.
So I was like, okay, cool.
And all the scenes with Samson and Dr.
Kelson, I liked all that part.
Yeah, like you said.
I'm at the bromance part.
I didn't mind that.
Okay, fair enough.
I liked it.
But it was kind of like, the doctor's out there by himself.
And this is like the only person, Samson, like, that he can call a friend.
I mean, we'll talk more about in spoilers.
So I was like, okay, because we see some of it in the trailer.
So I was like, all right, what they're doing here?
And the way it ended, I knew it was coming to an end.
But then I went.
when the directed by whoever came up onto the screen.
So when is the next one coming on?
Is that later this year?
They just only announced that they're moving forward with making the third one.
They haven't started filming it.
Oh, I thought they made all three of them.
No, they just meant the first two.
Ah, man.
It'd have been better if they just made one big movie and chopped it up.
I know.
Just enough to watch it be.
But I mean, but overall, I walked out of the theater like, man, that was awesome.
I can't wait to see this again.
I did, I mean, other than what was happening on the screen and everything, I teared up during one scene.
And I was like, oh, man, it's a horror movie.
Why am I crying?
So I was like, I liked what was going on.
It was way better than the first chapter.
That one was okay.
And I rewatched it. Shout out to the horror virgin.
They did it for one of their episodes.
And they did mention that there was a lot of talking boring parts that could have went just a minute instead of two or three minutes scenes.
Mainly was spike in his mom.
There was a lot of that.
Like, okay, I get it.
You love your mom.
We're trying to help her.
But I'm like, next, you could have been showing more slowmos or more of the alphas running around or just the regular infected.
but I don't know
I'd or give me more kick ass
I'm hoping he comes back at some point
in the third movie so but I don't know
but what we got in this one
I left the theater like man
that was awesome I immediately text
uh the Zisu shout out
to my boy from the East Society
happy belated birthday brother
I had texted him usually because we like
January is like a slow month for movies
but I had texted
dude, I already got my first best-of movie of 2026 on my list right now.
And he's like, all right, I'll go see it.
But yeah, I left the theater like, man, this is awesome.
I can't wait to see it again.
All right.
Brian, what do you think?
Sorry, Matt.
I have to agree with that.
I know, I know.
But I, I don't know on this one.
I hear what you're saying, how the rage zombies, the infected are kind of like a sideline
and a backstory to everything.
thing. They're basically walking dead
this movie franchise. It's
more about the characters, the
people.
And knowing that, I'm kind of just
on board with it now, because
that's the direction they're going, then I'm
just going to accept it.
Yeah. And I like the progression
of
Spike. Like Nez said, we
continued with his story.
I thought
Jack O'Connell as
Jimmy, Sir Jimmy Crystal,
I thought he
knocked it out the part.
Now knowing what the character
based on, it is horrible.
If it was me writing the movie,
I would have not even went that direction.
But as a character,
I thought he knocked it out the part.
I do have one hang up with him.
And we'll get to that in spoilers.
I like the jimmies,
who my daughter, because I was like,
how do you know which Jimmy is which?
And she pointed out they all have like,
one's like Jemina and others like,
Jimmy Fox and
one unfortunate kid was
Jimmy Shite.
So.
Well, a few of them all
kind of blended in and then there were
like a couple of girls who stood out.
And
I like the progression of the alpha character
and I do have some thoughts
about his relationship with Dr.
Ian.
And I thought, I do agree with you
at the cinematography.
and everything was shot incredibly.
I thought Nia Dacosta,
I think this movie,
her directing this movie upgraded from the original one
because I rewatched the first one,
the 28 years later.
And my score,
I think I gave it a seven.
I think I'm a first one.
Yeah,
I think I'm going to bump it down to like a six.
Okay.
Because it was a little boring at times.
Yeah, I can understand that.
But I thought this was,
this one was an upgrade.
for everything that first one was trying to do.
Yeah.
And I really enjoyed it.
Yeah.
I agree, man.
I loved the romance part.
Anything that Nick Fines was,
or that Ray Fines was in,
like I was,
those were the parts that I was waiting on.
Because I was curious.
I was curious with him,
you know,
to see what was happening.
Like,
is this guy going to snap and break him in half here in a second?
or like are they becoming friends like is it going to get better of us
cure yeah well that I mean I was saying a lonely guy out there you know
big somebody take here we go um wow but uh I thought I thought I thought those scenes were
were pretty awesome uh the jimmies
Like, I love to hate them.
And so I thought they did a really good job of casting the good ones versus the bad ones.
And the soundtrack was amazing.
There's a scene towards the end that we'll talk about in spoilers.
That was basically a music video and was amazing.
I was jamming.
But yeah, man, I died.
I was, this might be my favorite one so far.
I really like this movie.
Yep.
All right.
Scores.
Matt,
what do you think?
5.5.
5.5.
Nez.
No, this is hella good.
This was 10.
This was 10 all the way.
10. Wow.
Yeah.
Brian?
I'm at an 8.
Yeah.
I don't bring us back to reality.
I'm in an 8, too.
Yeah, had a really good time with this one.
This will probably be top 10 of the year.
Yep.
Not number one, but it'll be up there.
All right.
Spoilers.
Excuse me.
Spoiler alert.
Yeah.
What I was saying about Jimmy,
my one hang up with him was he was so feared by the other Jimmies,
the fingers, as he called him.
but we never saw why
because everybody did everything for him
yeah I was like
why has one of these not like murdered him yet
I mean we had one
what was there Aaron Kellerman played Jimmy Inc
the girl that was kind of like
are you full of shit
yeah she's like the
the good one right
the one that left was Spike at then
yeah yeah yeah yeah we had
you know oh
Jimmy Inc. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she was
the only one question in
anything. Yeah.
And I was just kind of, I was
telling my daughter after the movie finished, I was
like, other than stabbing
Dr. Ian, he didn't do anything.
I mean, he was menacing,
he was evil, but he didn't show me why
the other ones were so
scared of him and scared
to Satan, his father.
That's a good point.
maybe like all bullies really they just kind of
they just put themselves on people and just scare people
just by being assholes yeah I don't know
maybe it's just like that kind of dark charisma as it were
just kind of scaring people into into obeying I guess
yeah because when they when they come across a new person that they might add
you have to fight your way in you have to kill whoever you pick
to fight and replace them
and everybody's just
I'm just watching
I'm just like
why is everybody going along with this
they're wearing the track suits
with the wigs
and they're taking orders
from a guy with the tiara
on his head
yeah there was that point
when he was laying down
laying down with the binoculars
and I thought
God somebody could just go up
just slash his throat
yeah
yeah I thought that's when
what's her name
was going to take her turn
because when he looked at
Dr. Ian with the binoculars
she said she noticed
that he's never seen
that man
before in his life.
Yeah.
And I was like, okay, now you're realizing he's full of shit and everything he's saying,
why ain't you doing anything about it?
When he's down there talking to Dr. Ian, why are you stopping Spike from leaving?
Yeah, they could have all just walked off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very true.
Well, and from the very beginning, when he stabbed that dude in the leg and like,
nobody seemed to give a shit.
Well, that one guy did that tried to kill Spike later.
Well, like, yeah.
He said that was my best mate.
That was his buddy.
But like, what about the rest of the jimmies?
As the rest of the jimmies, do you not look at that and go, oh, he doesn't give a shit about us.
Why am I doing this?
He was just pumping fear into them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that's why whatever he, how he manipulated all of them, he was, what's her nuts?
The girl from Solo, Jimmy Inc.
she um she was kind of like i'm gonna ride
this is not how i took it she i'm gonna ride along with him
for him to get me to where maybe i can run off
but i think those other guys were more scared
of what jimmy because he did have i mean if jimmy
because boy he was telling those guys
all right now do this do this some of a couple of them
they didn't even hesitate
well he had they they were bought into the cult
yeah i think she stuck around because i think she
part of her wanted to believe
wanted to believe in something
like but then
maybe this
yeah sorry
Spike came along
and
gave her a little more hope
because he we could obviously
clearly see he didn't want to do
any of it during that one scene when they were
going to kill that family
in that house he like ran outside and started
throwing up. Spike came made for this world
I don't know well I think she was
like, man, he's just a kid.
He wasn't about that life.
What are you doing?
Like the other guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I think they all enjoyed being badass, though.
I think they enjoyed it.
Yeah.
I mean, I mean, even Jimmy Inc.
I mean, she had an inverted cross, you know, scraped into her skin.
Mm-hmm.
No, nobody does that unless you're fucking asshole.
Yeah.
It's like, you know, they mix Charlie Mansion.
and Jimmy Saville.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
But the music is the one I want to talk about.
They had that number of the beast maiden scene
at the end where they played almost the entire song.
Yeah, that was cool.
That was good.
So great.
It was so great.
Like I liked all the musical scenes leading up to it.
They had like some Duran Duran and stuff.
they're right very very british uh but then they
ray find's character was
supposed to be old nick the devil right
and so he's like all right well let's let's play it up if i'm gonna do it let's do it
and so he put on this whole fucking performance
of uh good thing he had that little over the beast goth looking
yeah overcoat the fire spinning and shit at the it was just
he looked like it was completely he did it was
completely unnecessary, but it was such a cool scene.
I like after he got stabbed and she realized he's not Satan.
Yeah.
He was like, you still put on a good joke.
And he was like, well, thank you.
Yeah.
I mean, the use of Duran Duran, Rio and ordinary world.
Because if we see the doctor when he's walking along in the beginning, he's singing Rio.
Yeah.
And then when he gets back to his little, uh, his little.
little layer he pulls out the i can't remember which album it was from duran duran he puts it on i like that
but that scene when it was him the doctor and samson and they had ordinary world planned
that's the part that got me i loved what we were seeing and i just i love that song it's great song
and i was sitting there that's what i was like oh my god that's when the tears started coming out
that was a 90s song less yeah so i was like oh my god but yeah at the end of the end of the end of
when he was preparing, he walked over to his albums,
and then he pulled out Maidens' number of the beats.
I was like, fuck yeah.
Yeah.
The way he used it for them,
when the Jimies came rolling in,
and it did that intro to the song,
I went, oh, my God,
and then it just rolled right into the song.
I was singing.
I was, too.
I don't think there was a good amount of people in the audience.
a bunch of young kids and some older people.
I don't think they even listen to Maiden,
much less know that song.
But I was singing along that whole time.
And when it came to six, six, six,
I had the horns up and everything.
That was one of my favorite bands of all time.
I love that song.
I've got a question.
I've got a question.
Did Dr. Ian,
did he blow some kind of drug or something
into the, I mean, wait, yes.
It's something.
Like a hallucinogen in their face.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Although that seems like it would have been the perfect opportunity to take that
motherfucker out.
That's what I thought he was going to do.
I thought he was going to drug him.
I didn't think he was going to do that because
despite what the world's gone through and everything that he's been through himself,
he's still a doctor.
But I thought he was, he knew they were coming to something bad was going to happen.
It was about to go sideways.
I thought he blew that on them to put them in that little hallucinated state that the way Samson was, not so much as being just doped up on opium.
But I was like, like, okay, let me get them a little high so I can go in there and take them out if I have to.
I thought they were going to be in that state.
I think it just kind of maybe took the little edge off them and how they felt.
That was it.
But then, because once they sprung into action, it was like, no.
No, I felt like he was a doctor all the way up to the point where he tried to change the deal and said,
I need a sacrifice.
And he told Jimmy Crystal that it's going to be you.
And it's not me that's going to kill you.
It's going to be one of them.
Yeah, because I mean, I knew one of them was going to go down.
So I was like, oh, man, that was, it was good.
It was sad.
And Spike, he was just, he knew who that.
doctor was and he just kept his
mask on but then when the doctor
looked over at him and saw his
eyes and realized hey that's spike
and he went over and then he got
shanked I was like oh I was
hoping he would like make
it out of there somehow but
so now he seems to have found some
sort of half-ass cure
yes
that now he's dead no one
yeah it's I mean
it basically
cured
20 weeks later
I don't think it cared him
It cared him of his symptoms
But he still carries the virus
Yeah, I mean
Because if you remember his eyes were like blood red
But then when he was in the train
When he had that flashback
And when he was a kid
And when he started talking
When the lady came up and asked him
If he had a ticket
And he goes, no, I don't have a ticket
And that's when he realized all those other
Infected people were in there
I was cool
I did like the fact that we got the
see what the infected sees.
Yeah.
They just see everybody, like, everybody is angry and rageful like them.
And that's all they see.
Even people that are not infected, that's what they see.
Well, but like the more, the more close to reality he got in the further along in the movie,
Samson got smaller.
Like, he wasn't as swollen or purple.
He was still fucking up people.
Yeah, no, he was still fucking people up.
He was breaking backs and ripping arms off.
Yeah.
still a monster, but he looked like he was
250 pounds instead of 350.
That one bit into his shoulder
and took like a big chunk out of it.
And he was wearing
a loin cloth. He, as he was looking more human
until the end when he started
tear the other fuckers up again.
I mean, because, I mean,
I assumed he was getting back
to somewhat normal because
usually the infected, noly
infected, and they'll leave you alone.
They were all looking at him.
like, is he?
We're not really sure because, like I said, his eyes were all red in the beginning.
And then when he was, before he started to talk, his eyes looked normal.
But he still had that strength.
Then I'm a kick ass.
And that's when he just took out all, everybody on that train, which was awesome.
I was hoping he was going to get there and mess up the jimmies.
I was waiting for him to come charging in.
Yeah.
It didn't happen.
Is Jimmy Crystal dead?
I don't think so.
I don't, we don't know.
We just see him hanging upside down for the sacrifice.
But that was no joke, man.
They nailed those.
Why?
Those train.
Yeah.
They straight up crucified him upside down.
He had already been stabbed where Jesus got stabbed with the, with the spear.
Yeah.
Has he lost it?
Because he saw Samson as if he was Satan.
well if if you were looking for a Satan walking around the world that'd be I mean
the one right there plus maybe the drugs that they were the drugs yeah yeah yeah that's what he
visions because uh yeah the way samson came in with a look like that dude and um what was that
tom cruise movie legend yeah darkness yeah he looked like that um and he was like father why
have you forsaken me it was great dude yeah that he would and then yeah
when we see Jimmy hanging upside down
and we just see Samson come on the screen
like really quick.
I mean, so I wanted to know
I don't think he's dead. I mean, I don't
think Samson
is how he is now. Like he's
still infected, but he's
he can talk and he can see better.
Oh no, is he going to have a resurrection?
I kind of had a feeling maybe
in this next one
if they do go back to those characters.
He's infected now.
He's infected now.
And he's going to have his own little demonic resurrection.
So I'm hoping that they at least go back and finish and let us see about Jimmy.
Because I don't think he's dead.
We didn't see the guy.
I think they're going to go a different direction.
I think with the way they set it up at the very, very end with Killian Murphy,
I think that had more of a feel to the original films.
I think they may go with it a completely different director again,
and they may go down a different route, like the old school route.
Yeah, the Jimmy's may just be done.
That may just be a little piece in this adventure story for Spike.
Because, I mean, the majority of his crew, his fingers, they all died.
Jimmy, I know Jimmy's still alive, but Jimmy Inc. and Spike when they went running off.
And then I was like, oh, my God.
is this Jim and then Jim walks onto the screen.
We see that, um,
that little young black girl.
And I assume Selena's not around anymore.
The,
the girl from the first movie.
Because at the end,
it was a Selena,
uh,
Jim.
And I can't remember a little white girl's name.
The,
the one that survived.
Um,
anyway,
her,
I assume maybe she just went on.
I kind of have the feeling that Selena died.
Um,
and then that,
That was their daughter, so Jim was raising them.
Because that wasn't the house that they were in at the end of the last one.
Yeah, because weren't they on like an island or something in the last one?
No, they were, they just went out into the country, like way, way, way far away from everything.
Because that's when they said, oh, the, the infected just died out because they didn't have, I guess, food or whatever.
On that road that we see, we see them.
Wasn't there a plane?
Wasn't there a plane flying in?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So to see Jim pop on there and then they hear screaming and then they look outside and they break out the binoculars or that periscope or whatever, I thought the way it ended was amazing.
We start to hear that music from the first film, the end to end music.
And then when she was like, are we going to help them?
Anyway, yeah, they walk off the camera and then boom, the movie was over.
that's when I went ah
so
we're gonna get Jim
Jim comes back
I know a lot of people
thought that that little skinny
dead looking infected person
in the first chapter
everyone thought that was Jim
I did too
looks like him
but it wasn't him
so it's good to see them
they show him really quick
it's when Spike and his mom
were walking across some field
and she's talking to Spike
and we see this infected guy
coming out of the
And it looked just it looked just like Jim.
Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Everyone thought that was him.
I did too.
Because when they announced, yeah, he's going to, he's coming back as well for
for this.
I didn't, I thought that was him, but it wasn't.
So to see Jim come back and to see that his daughter and it's been 28 years later.
So I would say she's, who know, maybe 12, 13, if that.
But to see what they're going to do, I thought they made all three movies.
already because or did they just make these two and one and then we'll see how two does before we
make the third one so but well that's the plan they were going to see how to this this one does
but before this one came out they went ahead and greenlit the third one because i i can't i can't
wait for for the next one will it be as good my opinion as good as this one i want it to be
But I don't know.
I mean, again, I'm happy that the gym character, Killian Murphy, Academy Award winner, Killian Murphy comes back in this.
Because I want to hear how he survived all this time.
Well, it looks like he's going to be a main character in the third one.
And Danny Boyle's going to come back to direct this next one.
Oh, cool.
Did they shoot this one as well with iPhones?
I think so.
The combination of iPhones.
regular cameras.
Very cool.
I watched the making on how they did the first one,
and it was all iPhones,
except for the drone shots that they did.
It was crazy.
It was,
I thought this one was,
I wanted the first chapter to be like,
oh, man, it was good.
I was just like,
it was all right.
I saw it twice in the theater.
But this one,
I went in.
I don't believe the hype
when they go, oh man, it's one of the greatest
movies ever. I'm like, we just started the year.
What are you talking about? And
when they have all these show these
videos of people, they got to go to the advanced
screenings coming like, oh my God, it was so
scary. It was awesome and all that. I'm like, I don't believe
any of that. I'm just,
I'm going and watch it, and I left the theater like, damn, that was good.
They did not use no iPhone
for this one. Oh, they didn't?
No.
That Iron Maiden scene was worth
at least two points on its own.
That was so great.
That was amazing.
I couldn't believe it.
Inside of me, when I saw, okay, he's got the number of the beast album.
Yeah.
Obviously, they're going to play 6666.
Yeah.
The Beast song.
I didn't know it was going to start off with the intro.
Because when the intro started, I went, oh.
I got the.
Like, when we watched, what was the show that that came from?
That 60s spy show.
fuck I don't know we did a whole thing on it we watched it for the for the show
oh the one where he gets like sent to that island or whatever he's on like an island
it's like the 60 spy thing that's where that that's where that audio comes from is from that
show okay and I remember watching that show and going oh that's where it came from
from but it's that whole that whole front loaded scene on the on the
Number of the Beast song.
I mean,
other things,
too,
what made me think about it after was,
the world is going to hell,
and you're trying to survive.
Damn,
it was awesome that he grabbed.
I mean,
who knows,
maybe he found it during his,
his scavenger running around from finding things.
To find a vinyl,
a vinyl print of a number of the bees.
Pick up some records and some books and some morphine and,
you're good to go.
Kick back.
Yeah, and that whole
Samson getting addicted to morphine
Coming back and just tripping out the whole time
I was like he's gonna moon
Get just like he got addicted
Because he kept coming back for more more
I think he wanted to be addicted
Because I think he was making him feel something other than rage
Yeah, because that first time that he had talked
I mean that scene was sad
Because the doctor was raised
to kill him.
He was like, look, man, I'm, I can't keep giving you this.
This is my supply for when I need it.
He wasn't using it to get high.
He was just, I think he got high because Samson was here because I want to be high with you.
But I was like, that's kind of iffy, bro.
What if he comes out of it before you do?
Right.
Well, at that point, he's been alone for a long time.
What's the worst that's going to happen?
He gets killed.
I thought, I thought he had.
basically made peace and he's basically
inducing himself with morphine
expecting Samson to
kill him while he was
out of it. Yeah.
Basically, if he kills me, he kills me.
If he doesn't, he doesn't.
Right. I think he was quite surprised
that he hadn't.
Yeah, that whole back and forth
bromance scenes with them. I loved
all of that. And like I said, to
throw in Duran Duran on top of those
scenes. I was like, oh man. And those were like amazing shots, wide shots. Yeah.
Out where they were, out in the countryside of the Bone Temple and everything. So I was like,
man, this, this movie was awesome. So, but I mean, yeah, I mean, I gave it a 10. I loved it. I
can't wait to go see it again. My son wants to see it. He saw the, he saw the first movie,
and he's seen the first chapter of this. So he's excited to go see this one. So probably go see it
when he comes back from visiting his brother.
But yeah, this movie was awesome.
I loved it.
Nice.
Well, all right, boys and girls.
I assume that's it.
