Welcome back, one and all, to the horror returns.

I am not Lance. I'm Philip, and I'm getting over cold, so bear with me. But Lance may join us a little later tonight, but we do have Brian, as always. So. A rock. And Pedro is with us. What's up, man?

Hey, what's up? Nice to be back. So I try to come on here at least once a month. So this is my once a month for the month of June. No, I think I also, I want to join you guys for that commentary. I think is it Maniac Cop? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm excited for that. That'll be fun. So that's, I think that's in a couple weeks. But, yeah, so I'm excited to be here. I was a little more excited before I watched the movie that we're going to talk about today. I don't want to talk about two movies, but the main movie, but we'll get to it. Okay. Yeah, this is probably going to be a short show. Yeah. Yeah. Well, what are you going to do? Well, all right. Well, we'll start it out with the

cool of the week. What's a good thing you got? Well, I will say, I will say that we got World Cup Fever over here in Los Angeles. Uh, Mexico, actually they want today and they actually kicked things off for the entire World Cup because I think they were the first game. So right here in LA is kind of the city kind of shut down for that. It's kind of a big deal. So just kind of feeling the excitement. I know we're going to host quite a few games, which is going to be hell for traffic, by the way.

I'm already just dreading that. A lot of tourism, stuff like that. So yeah, so kind of just, you know, giving into the atmosphere of that. There was all kinds of barbecues I got invited to today. I couldn't go to anyone because I had to work. but I'm excited and I will see what happens. Mexico doesn't really, they're not the best,

they don't have the best national team, but I don't know, it's like a fan base that's very loyal and they always just believe, even though they haven't really done much. So we'll see. It's probably going to be one of those like Brazil, you know,

they'll say Germany, the same national teams that always win. Yeah, so Argentina. Argentina, that's another one. You're right. So yeah, so that's kind of what's been going on. I'm actually still doing my MCU revisit. I'm hitting two movies every month leading up into Secret Wars.

That's how I timed it. I hit up this month. I hit up the original Ad Man, which is nice to revisit. And also, well, the Avengers Age of Ultron. So good movies still. They still hold up. So, yeah, that's kind of my cool of the week. Just kind of been doing that and just working a lot.

Understandable. Yeah. Getting ready for getting ready for the summer. And here in California, the summers are getting more and more intense. I know, I know Philip being from Texas is going to just laugh at us over here because we're bitching about like 85 degree weather. But we're not used to that over here. It's getting more and more of a normal thing as the years go on and on. So now we're hovering up in the lower 90s, which again, anybody from Texas are going to laugh at that.

But yeah, I'm starting to get, I'm starting to prep myself because I get very moody. during the summer. Yeah. It's already hot and I'm so done with it. Yeah. So. But anyways, that's kind of, that's, that's what's happening all over here. How about you guys?

Yeah. Brian, you got anything? Yeah, I got a few things. First with TV, I started Spider-N-O-R. How is it? I tried the first episode and I wasn't, it didn't get me. But I wasn't really paying attention. I'm digging it so far with the whole night.

1930s aesthetic and the they make you feel like it's 1930s and Nick Cage is doing Nick Cage things so that's always a plus

yeah it is I was going to say the same thing yeah that's a show that I feel like it should be bigger than it is I don't know I don't know if it was the lack of promotion or if it's on Prime it's not an official MCU entry I don't know what it is but I feel like I almost feel like it's being disrespected. It's just kind of like because of the source material. It's like nobody's

really talking about it. But yet the people that do talk about it always talk about it in high praise. What a weird show. I don't know. It's just weird to be in that middle ground of like you're over with some people, but other people don't really care. And yeah, I don't know. I'm going to check out eventually, but I'm the same way. It's like I'll get to it when I get to it. It doesn't seem like it's something that we need to watch right now. Right. I also checked out the first episode of Cape Fear on Apple TV Plus, the new series. How was it? It's different from what I remember of the Robert De Niro movie, because we got Javier Bardem playing that character.

And instead of Nick Nolte being his lawyer, it's Amy Adams was his lawyer. okay and i don't know if this was the case for the movie but patrick wilson played the prosecutor and he ends up being her husband oh okay flash forward while he was in prison they got together so i don't know if there's anything that has to do with him going to prison yeah there's some some things changed up for that Yeah, this sounds like a very expensive show. I mean, that cast alone, you got Amy Adams, Javier Bardin, Patrick Wilson. I mean, those are all like almost, I don't know Patrick Wilson is an A-level actor, but he's up there.

And but the other two- Definitely B-plus at the very- Yeah, and the other two definitely are still, you know, at least, you know, critically acclaimed actors. And so they really put all their eggs in that basket. When I first heard about this concept, I was like, do we need another Cape Fear? because this is like the third or fourth time they're remaking this story. Is it? I don't even know.

Yeah, they had the movie from the 60s. And then I think there was like, oh, yeah, there was the obviously the Robert De Niro one, the one that our generation remembers. And then there's this show now. So yeah, they've kind of remade it quite a few times. But then I saw the cast and I was like, oh, shit. And then as a lot of the review started coming and people were praising it. So, I mean, I'm going to check it out as well. But it's Apple TV.

they're not afraid to waste money, you know? They like to waste money that Apple TV, so I'm not surprised the kind of cast that it has. Yeah, so, and I see like CCH Pounders on here. I'm a big fan of hers. She hasn't done anything in a while, but I like to, when she pops up on stuff.

So yeah, so we'll see how it goes. But you said you liked the first episode, right? Or you thought it was okay? Yeah, I liked it. I'm going to continue with it. I think there's two episodes out as we're recording this. And I know, it's executive produced by Martin Scorsese, and I also think Stephen Spielberg might have also been an executive producer on it.

Damn, okay. Everybody was on board for this one. Okay, movies. Man, it's been so long since I've seen the original that I don't really remember the story anyway. So I'm kind of down. I don't have Apple TV, but... Do you remember the Seidio Bob remake of the... Yeah, Simpsons Halloween or whatever.

I do. I forget about that. That was fun. But yeah. Yeah, Robert DeNero hams it up in that movie. You should revisit it. It's worth a revisit. Yeah.

Yeah, I remember watching it like maybe 10 years ago or something. And it definitely holds up, but it's been since then since I watched it. Yeah. In the movie in the Robert De Niro, when they only had a daughter, right? Yeah. Yeah, they changed things up on this one from what you're saying. a daughter and son. So they made some, they made some changes.

Well, they need more characters because obviously they're going to need more time to fail. So there's more stories to kind of visit, you know, so they are going to need more characters in the TV show. Yeah. All right, movies I checked out. I checked out Chum, the new shark movie. What's it called? Chum. Chum, no, I haven't.

It's a shark movie? Yeah, you can skip. skip it. Oh, I was going to put it on the list. It's typical group of people rent a boat, go out into an area where they shouldn't be, get stranded,

get attacked, get picked up by another boat, another situation happens. It seems to be, that seems to be the very generic shark movie story, it seems like. Yeah. I really like,

I know you guys missed it because it came and went so fast, but I really liked that Rennie Harlan when I saw it in the theaters. Oh, what was it called? I'm trying to look for it right now. It had the guy that played Two-Face in Christopher Nolan's Batman.

Yeah, the one with the plane crashing in the water, right? Yeah, that was a really good movie. I actually went to the theaters to see that one because my daughter wanted to see it. She's a big shark movie fan. Oh, so you did see it? Yeah. So it is all right.

Okay, okay, okay. It was silly, but it was fun. Yeah, it was Rennie Harlan. He directed that one. Coming off that horrible, what do you call that? That movie he made where he fucked it up. Oh, the strangers.

The strangers, yeah. Oh, yeah. Ficked it out three times. Yeah. Oh, Deepwater. What a generic title we couldn't remember. Deepwater, it's called. Yeah.

Well, I had almost forgotten that I'd seen it. like which plane crash shark movie because there's a couple of them you know yeah but even this one oh look jinn jim simmons produced that one wow okay oh yeah i remember seeing his name on there that's awkward as fuck right there um no but i was strip out because ben kingsley's in it which which is like you wouldn't really see him in a movie like this um it's like like beneath him in a lot of ways but there he was there he was that's true Yeah, because I remember like it coming on and I was like, holy shit, Ben Kingsley is in this. And then like, there's a, he gives it as all in every scene.

Yeah. But like not everybody does. But yeah, I was just tripping out that I was seeing it in the movie theater. We really don't get those kind of movies in the movie theater anymore. But yeah. He was earning his paycheck. It seems like it was better than chum or whatever this one's called. Yeah.

The irony of the name is not missed on that. And I think I'll go with my cool of the week being, I'm a fan of the In Search of Darkness documentary series, the horror documentary series. Okay. I checked out Night in Search of Darkness, 1990 through 1994. What do they just go through like the different movies in that era?

Yeah, and they have, of course, you know, actors, directors, writers. All right. that were associated with the movies talking about it. Yeah, I like, I like those movies because I like to take notes. You know, you get some gems that, some hidden gems. And I like to just write down those films and then try to check them out later on. The only thing about those movies or that documentary series that I don't like is that eventually, like, after two hours,

like, your brain is just flooded. Like, it just can't take any more of, like, just this talking head. Oh, I definitely watch this in a second. because it's yeah yeah it's six hours it's six hours long I usually have it in the background as I'm cleaning my apartment or something you know like dusting the walls or some shit because to sit there and actually watch this you're just going to get so it's draining actually just so much information and then it's actually like a lot of above the surface stuff they never get too deep into a movie because they have to go right to the next one to the next one but as an introduction to different movies right

that you could take notes on and watch later that's why I like these documentaries because you get a lot of new movies you've never heard of, especially during this era, 19 to 94, where there's a lot of like underground B movies that we've never even heard of that never made it to like Blu-ray or even got a theatrical.

They've all been on VHS. So, yeah, so for that reason, they're good now. Is this on Shudder or did you rent it somewhere? It's on Shudder. Okay, I'm going to check it out because I think it started it, but I never finished it. And then they also have 94 to,

they finished it, right, 95 to 99. That one's also out there. Yeah, I'm going to start that one this week. Is that one also on Shudder? Yeah. Okay, because I've never seen that one at all. And you're right, there are some hidden gems in there that I didn't know about that might pop up on an episode one day. There you go.

Contribute to that spreadsheet. We need to, so. Yeah. Always good to watch the classics. And that's what I got this week. just like this week. I'd never heard of this one. Let's see.

My cool of the week, man, I did not get a whole, a chance to watch a whole lot horror. I did want to watch a couple things, but I didn't get around to them. I watched Ace Ventura, though, with my kids. Okay. Definitely still holds up.

I love that movie. That could be classified of horror in certain scenes, yeah. Lace is out. Don't never forget. Lace it. out. Gun is digging into my hip. The crying game montage. That's great. Yeah, but it was definitely still holds up.

Yeah, my kids wanted to watch some, some Jim Carrey movies because they like the Sonic movies. So trying to show them some classics. You all need to do like that, like that 1994 trifecta in one day. Yeah. With the mask and dumb and dumber. Yeah. So they've seen the mask and dumb and dumber. but this was the first time watch for Ace Ventura.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah, they liked it. So now we got to check out the second one where he comes out of the rhino butt. Yeah, that was not as good, but it's still, it's okay. But it's not as good as the first one. I don't think so anyway. Oh, this is you're the cable guy. Oh, that one's a classic.

It's been a long time since I've seen that. But I feel like that humor is more adult. Like, I didn't really understand what was happening in the cable guy, so I was like in my mid-20s. you know actually yeah because because when it came when i was an adolescent and i was looking more for that hard hard kind of like you know like the ace ventura kind of humor yeah more like an adult like very dark humor that you have you're right you have to be an adult for a while to really understand what's happening um yeah i don't think i really got this one when it first came out either

right ben stiller directed that was his direct i think that was the first film he directed and then it was a bit it was kind of like jim carrie's first like flop quote unquote flop because again, it was very dark and it wasn't what people expected at the time. So, yeah. But now it's kind of a cool classic. So a lot of people love the cable. Yeah. But you know what's a trip I think about that?

Because, like, Jim Carrey's 1994. Like, I'm trying to think of another actor that had that kind of like, I mean, he had, like, the number one movie three times in that year. making an insane amount of money, by the way. Essentially, what happened is that he had three obsessions in that year because it wasn't just the expectation that Jim Carrey was going to draw money. It was this young guy who just had three like $100 million hits in one year, which was insane. Like that's unheard of.

Like, I don't think anybody, I'm sure if people do some research, there's another person that has done that. But that was insane to me. And even back then I was like, holy shit. And then that blew him up. you know, then he became what he became. But yeah, what a trip, man. I think we forget how big he was, man,

because like if he just, if you look at his IMDB, it's like just smash hit after smash hit after smash hit. Yeah. They're all good. Right, for sure. Anyway. I mean, I feel like Adam Satter had that had that one-to punch of like Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore.

Yeah. You know, but it wasn't like, Jim Carrey level because that guy he became like a cultural icon. Well, and the water boy, Adam Sandler's got a Yeah, yeah, the water boy was a really great. Big Daddy.

Big Daddy was really fun. Yeah. But that was, I feel like at the tail end of the wedding singer was also along with those movies. Wedding singers great. Yeah, he was also knocking him out back then. Yeah, that one with Drew Barrymore

in Hawaii. Well, he did a couple. Fifty first dates. 50 first dates is one of my favorite movies. Yeah, because she was also in the wedding singer with him. Yeah, that's true. Then he started getting into dramatic roles, punch, drunk, glove, and rain on me.

Yeah. Yeah, he had a pretty cool little arc there, and then he went away for a while. Well, he went to Netflix, and then his career, that's where he just tanked. Yeah. Well, now he just comes out with, like, silly shit. Well, after uncut gems.

Like, that Hubey Halloween one? like that's a that's a very underrated i know like part of me doesn't hate it it's silly and it's stupid but there's times where it genuinely made me laugh yeah i'm surprised there hasn't been a sequel to that yeah because it's really dumb all right well that's what we got how about horror headlines brian what have got we got a few uh bruce camel says he's done playing ash and the evil dead legend confirms that he has no plans to return as the franchise

moves on the new characters in story. Yeah, he's been saying that for a while. He keeps getting asked with all the new movies coming out. I bet that makes him happy. I know. And then he has cancer, unfortunately.

He's still dealing with that. Yeah, yeah, he announced he had cancer about a few months ago. he was vague about it but he definitely announced it so i don't know he i don't think he i don't think even if he wanted to he could come back um but i think ash versus the evil dead the tv show was kind of like the evil dead part four of that series and once that happened i mean he was just done yeah what do you guys think about the the new one coming out i'm excited for it yeah i saw a preview i mean it looks it looks pretty intense and then they already fit they already shot the one for next

year. Which one's burn? This year or next year? This burns this year. Rath is next year. Yeah. Okay. And then you go out of the mummy

asked another evil dead movie. You might as well for the people that have seen that one. They know what I'm talking about. Yeah. But yeah, no, I'm looking forward to it. There hasn't been a bad evil dead movie.

I mean, there just hasn't, you know. That's true. They're not all super memory. But no, and that's my concern is that they're really starting to like use you it's hard to separate them at this point now and then because it's essentially the same plot with the dead ites coming back and a lot a bunch of people in a in a small location. So we're starting to get to that point where you can differentiate them and that's not good. You know, you want to think about when good movies you want to separate them and whatnot.

But yeah. And it's more about the books now. The books are the ones that are supposed to carry all these things because they're all they're all scattered all over the country or whatever. There's supposed to be three books, and they're all kind of all over the place. But either way, I mean, but still, I'm going to go check it out,

and you always want to support those kind of movies. But yeah, as far as Bruce Campbell coming back, I don't think that's going to happen. That's okay. Ari Aster has revealed he wrote a hereditary prequel but says it never feels the right time to make it, and it might never happen. I don't know.

Never say never. I mean, he's gonna need that payday eventually, you know? He wrote a prequel so he could have that paycheck in his back pocket when he needs to cash it. Yeah, so I don't know what else there is to say in that movie, but whatever, I mean,

that's his movie. He could do whatever he wants with it. Yeah, that's what I was trying to figure out what a prequel would be of except like the same story, but. Probably with earlier in the time. With the mother that passed. Yeah, but I don't know because that movie is all about the performances, though.

Yeah, it's very atmospheric and a lot of, you know, what the director did counts is valid, but so much of that is just the performances as well. And you're not going to have that cast coming back. So I don't know, we'll see. Let's see. Mike Flanagan's The Exorcist has wrapped filming. That movie has so much pressure on it. Like, I feel bad for Mike Flanagan because there's so many like haters that are ready to just fucking hate that movie to

pieces and fucking tear it apart. Dude, I'm ready to love it. Yeah, it has your boy in it, Phil. Chewya Tell, Edu4. Oh, I love that guy. Sweet. It actually has a really good cast. But yeah, we'll see what happens.

It's just David Gordon Green really fucked up the last one. And with the Halloween fuck up, he just left a lot of people with a bad taste. So now it's like, why are you going to do another exercise? And I think they've all kind of sucked except for part three and part one. You know, they've never really has been another good exorcist movie. See, the fact that it's another exorcist movie coming out so quickly after all these others make like actually gives me hope. They're like, all right.

Those others don't count. This is the one. Yeah. I mean, it's my flagging. He's got enough equity with all of us to where we're going to trust them. You know, I mean, he's and he's a fan himself. Like he knows the pressure. He knows that it's going to be put up against all the other flops.

and horrible movies. So hopefully he knows what he's doing. He knocks it out of the park. I mean, I'm looking forward to it. I mean, I'm ready for another exorcism movie as far as, like, from his perspective, and we'll see. But it's going to be hard for him

to get over that hump with how critical people are nowadays. And I guess we'll leave off with the new Blair Witch Project is headed to theaters in 2027. right. Well, that's another one. That's going to be. So we have a new Blair Witch, where do you go in that? New actresses, new Texas chainsaw massacre. And there's, there's an argument to be made that none of those three movies are really necessary, but we're going to get them anyway. And that's not counting, now, now here's the thing, that's not counting the amount of sequels backrooms is going to give us, the amount of sequel's obsession is going to give us. So,

yeah, we're in for it. Weapons is. coming up with a sequel, so, or a prequel, I guess I should say. Yeah, which that one has me worried because the director is not directing that one. Oh, wow, I don't know that. He just, did he write it at least? Yeah, he was writing it, but he's not directing it. Hmm. It's like when a toddler says something funny and then you laugh and then they just keep saying it.

Yes, that's exactly what it's not funny. And so you start hating the original. Joe. It's like, Jesus. Like, it was funny once. All right, let's move on. Yeah, so. But it makes money. At the end of the day, money's when matters.

All those films we just mentioned are going to make a shit lot of money because people want more of it. Even though it's going to hurt the story, the money is going to make more money where it's going to justify fucking up the story, which is fine. That's Hollywood. That's how it works. Because obsession,

excuse me, excuse the Obsession is the highest grossing horror movie at 2026, and Backrooms is 824's highest grossing movie. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Obsession has a lot of controversy right now because people want to get paid now all of a sudden. You know, now that it made 200, I think it's at 200 million or something or close to it. You have all kinds of people that worked on it. Because originally it was less than a million dollars.

So there were people that were working, you know, it was an independent movie with non-union. So now all of a sudden you have like the art director wants their cut. And actually she didn't say she wanted her cut. She just wishes that she would have made it like a union movie when they were filming it. But that's kind of unfair because nobody had money at that time. So there was no way to predict it was going to be the phenomenon and it became. Like literally no way to predict that. And yeah, I mean, it's sad to see how like money kind of creates this device.

when it comes to even even with artists you know because like wow somebody got like mega rich off of this movie and it wasn't the people that worked on it yeah because they're selling those damn uh well the willow thing yeah yeah they were i went to monster polusa and they were they were they were all over monster polusa now like they were they were selling those little props at the convention well i mean it's it's caught fire so i get it but yeah i mean i i understand both sides of that, you know, it's sort of how it works. Yeah. Behind every funeral is a fucking money

lawsuit. Yeah, exactly, exactly. So we'll see, we'll see what happens with the sequels. And that's the news. All right. All right. Let's take a little trip down to the trailer park. We're going to bring you the big, the small, and

sometimes the very, very weird. Brian, what is our first new trailer to talk about? this week. Our first two of... Pretty good, Austin, if I do say so myself. Yeah. The first two of, I guess, survival thriller,

teaser trailers is Fall 2 Dead Point. The stars Virginia Gardner, Grace Carolyn Curry, and Harriet Slater. And this is directed by Michael and Peter Sprigg, Sprigg. I think they did something I've seen.

Do we recognize any of the girls? The Virginia Gardner one, I think I've seen her in something. Okay. Oh, no. They directed Winchester. Oh, yeah.

It's interesting because the first one was more of like a streaming phenomenon. And this one going to get a whole theatrical it looks like. So, so. Oh, I would too if I was them. This would be cool in the theater, I think. But the fall part one,

it got a limited. I think it got a limited, but it really blew up on streaming. It's when everybody discovered it. And it's a good movie. I wouldn't say it's a great, it's a good movie, very tense, just because they're all stuck up there in that big old fucking antenna or whatever the fuck it is.

Yeah. Whereas this one, see, but it's funny because for part one, you kind of understand why. they got stuck up there just because there's things to do up there. In this trailer, they just seemed like they were fucking idiots. Like, how do you get stuck in that situation where there's like a little plank or whatever, a little wooden thing and you're stuck in the side of a mountain and then you got to walk them little bars to get to your little backpack?

You know, I mean, they got some explaining to do on that. I'm sure they'll explain it, but I don't think that's the point. Yeah, I think the whole thing is that. I think there was a whole walkway that probably collapsed. Yeah. But here's the thing. That's very important, Philip, because that's going to, that's going to decide whether I root for them to survive or I want them to take a tumble. You know what I'm saying?

That's very true. If they got put in that situation out of incompetence, then, hey, you know, life's a bitch. What are you going to do, you know? But if something happened to where it was in their fault, then we're going to root for them to get out of it, you know? So it's very, that little detail of how they got in that predicament is very important. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and you want to be able to root for them so that you want to feel the tension.

the scary part when they have to look down. Yeah, well, it seems like that trailer did give a spoiler, but we'll see. Yeah. But, you know, I- And I'm not seeing a whole lot to be excited for. Yeah, I don't recognize them. But one of the girls was like the older sister in Shazam. Oh, okay.

Okay. All right. So she's like, she's been in some stuff, but. but yeah like i don't know i it sort of uses the same gimmick as they did in the first one and i'm kind of okay with that because heights are kind of fun and cool and scary and i think in the theater is a perfect place for this movie like it would be fun to go see it in uh like the x yeah or you know whatever the big omnibeter or whatever if they still do that shit like if if virtual reality had really taken off the way that they wanted it to

would be really awesome in that. But yeah. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. They're the only ones really that I've seen use this gimmick and like to that effect. And they just did it again because nobody's picked up the baton yet. Right. No, yeah, yeah.

I mean, some of the shots I imagine are going to be like you said, Taylor for the audience to kind of get a little queasy as there, you know. You know, another good gimmick that would have been good for this, like a 3D gimmick, too, right? Where you're... Virtual reality.

Yeah. But that would have been a really good gimmick. But like Philip said, I didn't really get over with our culture. So... It's a stupid of headsets. They have to do something about that. Maybe when it's just glasses. Yeah, there we go.

All right. The fall two dead point hits theaters September 2nd. All right. month. That's when they throw out all the movies that don't believe me. And our final teaser trailer is Whale Fall from director Brian

Durfield Duffield and it stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Shue, and Emily Rudd. Whale Fall? Whale fall. He falls into it in Wales mouth. All right.

Technically. It's a weird name for a movie. but yeah and i don't i don't know how are they going to keep us involved for an hour and a half like is he going to be in the wells mouse for an hour and a half or i hope i hope he's in the stomach for most of the time like the whole the the trailer really sucked me in i was like uh well all right that's cool this sort of has the same gimmick it's like the it's like fall but it's under water which is fun you know that's always a lot of fun i like that's like now this i've seen a video of somebody that saw the trailer in the

theater and they were in those 4DX chairs, the ones that shake and spray water. Uh-huh. And that looked pretty crazy. Oh, well, I don't know. You all went. What hell's that? Yeah, these kids in their 40x

chairs. I've never been to one. Where do you put your food? You keep it with you and hope for the best. That's all you could do. tuck it but yeah but like the whole time

I was like is he gonna get eaten by the whale oh my god he's gonna get eaten by the whale yes let's get eaten by the whale I haven't seen a person gets eaten by a whale movie in I don't know how long let's do that stars

that Austin Abrams guy he's in that new Resident Evil and he was the junkie guy and weapons oh okay oh I like him all right well i mean

i guess the only thing i've seen him in his weapons but he was he was a likable character for being such a piece of shit so him so him and josh broding are going to work together again huh because they work together in a weapons true what josh bone is in everything it seems like so he's uh he's building up his retirement

yep he got john ortees who i like when he shows up and stuff um it's got a good little cast going I just don't know how much of the story they have to justify an entire feature film out of that. Like that's my thing. Yeah.

I mean, literally the plot is a guy gets eaten by, not eating. He's inside a whale for a while. But if it's like an hour and a half, you can make that happen. Is he going to like light a match inside the stomach and then like try to read a map in there? We're like, I don't understand what's going to happen here. Like, are we supposed to take this serious? Is it like a thriller, a comedy?

What is it? got one of those glow sticks that just snap and it looks like he's got a he's got to fight the squid yeah it looks pretty serious it's probably like a modern day Jonah

and the whale thing but yeah survival shit okay yeah I think it was a book yeah well we'll see now I'm intrigued I guess these are questions that we're gonna get answer when we watch the movie so because he's got like the scuba gear off inside the whale which

I don't know. Where's the air coming from? Like, is that real? It was interesting because I was reading this article about this movie, and they were saying that even though whales are not predators, they don't hunt humans, that this actually happens more than people think, either by accident,

like the well is just passing through and just gobbles up like a human that scuba diving, but it does happen often. That was the motivation for the film. Really? Yeah. I did not know that. But it doesn't happen in a predatory.

way. Yeah, it doesn't happen in a predatory way. It just happens because, hey, you're in their territory. What the fuck? Yeah, here's the synopsis. The film follows a scuba diver who, while looking for his father's remains, is swallowed by an

80-foot 60-ton sperm whale and has just one hour to get out before his oxygen runs out. All right. So maybe it's a real-time movie. Is that whole hour's part of the movie? Yeah. You have to get out. probably because they spent an awful lot of time on the

swallowing part in the trailer at least actually that one is that one come on Brian October 15th okay it's a theater movie yes oh I'll watch it yeah

throw it on the schedule with which one though orca you guys haven't done orca you read my mind page You know Ned's showing up on that one. Of course, 10 on 10. And that is the last trailer. All right.

In regards to Psycho 2, Pat Gruso says, just watched this flick recently, and it was decent. Definitely seen worse. kid Oz Perkins was in it. Oh no, Psycho 2 is very underrated. Like it's a lot A lot of people, they have the hot take that it's better than Cycle 1. I mean, that's how good

cycle 2 is. I like the whole series. Yeah, Cycle 3 is good too. Yeah, Psycho 3 is good. Cycle 4 is good. I forgot with the McGarris one, that's right. But yeah, Cycle 2 is a very, very good movie. They're all way better than you would expect

with the inclusion of Bates Motel. well the remake yeah but you know what yeah I mean it

definitely didn't land but I don't know if I'd call it bad because it was just a shot for shot remake yeah it was just Gus von Sond stroking himself

literally that's all it was I wasn't buying Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates though yeah I definitely wasn't they weren't selling it all right in regards to

alien isolation 2. I don't even know what that is. Is that a video game? Yeah. Okay. Kuchiki Sielessim. I probably said that wrong. I'm sorry. But awake returning

This week maybe sort of I don't know about that All right The first one was a movie that I didn't know existed Shriek If you know what I did last Friday the 13th From the year 2000s Wait when did scary movie come out

96 Okay I just wanted to make sure. No, no, I came on the year 2000. Oh, scary movie. I'm sorry. I'm taking a scream. Yeah, no, scary movie.

Scary movie was 2000? Yeah, they came on the same year. So which movie was first? Scary movie. Okay. Huh. Interesting. That's a conversation worth having.

I remember, I remember there's a story behind this movie and scary movie. Something about like, there was a rush to make one or the other first and one of them got to the finish line first which I think was scary movie but yeah so so Shriek wasn't a cop it wasn't trying to take advantage

of the success of scary movie they were both in production at the same time and it just I mean because they got like a lot of the same kind of stuff going yeah yeah and that's probably why they can sue each other because there's proof that they were in production at the same time so yeah well coincidental

jokes, I guess. That makes sense. Check and see who came out first. For a pop culture movie, you know? Let's see. It says a reporter investigates a series of murders dubbed the Spring Break Massacre, which leads to further

mayhem, which is a really bad description, but whatever. Director is John Blanchard, also known for the TV show Kids in the Hall. Okay. Writers are Sue Bailey and Joe Nelms. Scary movie came out first. Scary movie came out first.

All right. It sounds like they were working on them at the same time, though. So maybe it's not as much of a rip off as I thought. The melting mask gag at the beginning of the film was a reshoot. Originally, it was Jason Borges mask, but it would not catch fire good enough to look like it melted into the ghost face masks. So an alternative mask was decided on. That is not a piece of information.

that anybody needs to know. This film was originally intended to have a theatrical release. However, because of the similarities with a much more popular scary movie, it ended up being released direct to video in the DVD's audio commentary. The actor refers to it as that other movie

without ever saying the title. Yeah. Yeah, this was T-Moo scary movie. And they put it direct-to-video doomed from the beginning. Yeah, but that was in the era where direct-to-video, you could still make a lot of money because DVDs were like a hot thing

and, you know, that's true. There was a big profit margin still in the direct-to-video market. It's not like today where one would go on streaming and then the other would get a theatrical. Both of them could have made their money back for sure. Now, that makes sense. It's where the dude made all his money and the big Lobowski, right?

Because it bombed in the theater and they sold out on DVDs, though. Pedro, what do you think about this one? Well, considering I saw it back in 2000, and that was the last time I saw it, I'm going to go ahead and pull out my, I didn't see it for the show card that we all have, by the way, in our back pockets,

and we pull out from time to time. Fair enough. Lance has a punch card. Get one free. But yeah, so I just got so, I'd rather talk about the next movie, because I got so burned on. I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't.

And I was like, fuck it. I'll use my card for this one, which I don't like to pull out, by the way. So I'm not bragging about it. But yeah, but I did see it a long time ago.

And I do remember that this one was a little more like low brow. They're both low braw. Don't get me wrong. But this one was a little more like, yeah, it was more low brow with like jokes that were more tailored towards like, you know, teenagers and stuff like that,

more toilet humor. then I'm comparing it to scary movie, not scary movie, the new one that we just saw. And so, yeah, I mean, I'm glad I didn't watch it again because if I didn't find scary movie 2026 funny, I wasn't going to find this movie funny.

So what did you guys think of it? Brian, what do you think? There are times when I put stuff on the schedule and then I watch it and then I feel really bad that you guys have to watch it. and this is one of those times. This is horrible.

I don't like to use the word garbage when I'm comparing and talking about movies, but this movie is trash. That's a Nescold right there. This movie is trash. It was hard to watch. Yeah, there's nothing funny about this movie, nothing memorable. The recognizable people, Tiffany Ambrathias,

and Tom Arnold Cooley, they're the most recognized people in the movie and they're like side characters who are hardly in the movie. Yeah. Remember, but they were a part of their time though. Back then, nowadays, those people that you, well, except for Kulio, because he's dead.

But those people that you mentioned, they could make this exact same movie now for like way cheaper, you know, because they're like, you know, they're castoffs from another time. But at this time, I mean, Tom Arnold was pretty big. Like, he was a big star. And all three of them were.

So I could see why they could only kind of afford them for like a couple of scenes here and there. And I'll keep him credit. Tom Arnold is a little funny. Like just as a person, I think he's kind of funny. Right. Like he's got some talent. He's not a hack. And in this movie, you can tell he's ad-libbing.

There's no script for him. He's just going off the top of the head. and out of the main group of teens, if you can call them teens, because they're clearly adults. The only one I recognize is Simon Rex, who was in, he was in one of the scary movies.

Yeah. Well, in the little guy, he was somewhere else. I've seen him before, but he's balding. And, like, four and a half feet tall.

Like, why is he in this movie? Like, he's clearly what? older than everybody else. Maybe that was part of the joke that they were all older. I think so. I guess it was. And so it was,

it was a little silly. Tim, loves seeing Tiffany and her in a long time. And she was, she was one of my girls in the beginning. She still looks very good for her age nowadays. Oh, yeah.

But yeah, this movie was silly. Nothing was funny. I mean, the school was called bulimia falls high. Yeah. That's kind of trigger now in the culture we live in now. That's a little bit of a triggering word.

The horny teen out of the group, his name was Boner. There was a character that's called Screw from Behind, I think, says here on the cast. Yeah. Well, and not only that, but like, Belemia high is not even funny. That was for sure Tom Arnold joke.

I don't know, man. Yeah, you're right. Barbara, prime suspect. Come on, these are all like very low-hanging fruit jokes here. Like, come on. Nurse Cavorkian? Are you kidding me? Nurse Cavorkian?

Like, you know what? That's so stupid that it is making a big old circle and actually being funny somewhat. Nurse Cavorkian. That's ridiculous. Yeah, it's pretty bad stuff. They had Culeo dressed as prince, and he was the principal formerly known as principal. But I mean, it's hokey, but it's silly and sort of funny.

But now that I know that it's not just a straight rip-off of scary movie, because, like, if that's the case, what are we doing? This shouldn't exist. Like, they should be sued out of existence. but if they were doing it all at the same time and scary movie was just better. I mean, hard to take down the Waynes brothers.

At that point in time, at least. Yeah, because at that time, that was Prime Wayans right there. Yeah, that's when they had the show. I used to love that show.

I just seen them in an interview. They didn't get paid a lot for that show. Which one? Really? The Wayans brothers. Yeah. Man, they mean they get screwed over all the time in Hollywood, it seems like.

But their family's so big, they got their own way in's mafia now. That's true. It works. It's like that skit on the Shapal show, right? When he's trying to go to the audition and then one of the Wayne's brothers beat them, he's like, there's another one. Yeah.

Seriously. I think they say that in a new one. There's a million of us. Yeah. There was like four of them on a living color, at least. Yeah, that was a, yeah, there was Kenan Ivory, Sean, Marlin, Damon, and then there's like a writer, and then there was Kim Wayne's. So I had six right there. Yeah, they had the sisters. Yeah, and then even now they

spawned because now you have Damon Wayne's Jr., who's kind of a pretty big actor on TV, especially. You know, so now it's not how their kids are doing stuff. Well, and the new one, I had to look him up. I thought he was going to be like Sean's kid or something. He He's a Deidre's kid. Oh, okay. He looks like just like Keenan. Oh, the one that played one of the twins? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Now we're talking about the next movie. I guess we got to go back to streak if you know what I did last Friday the 13th. All right, scores. I'm going to go one on 10. 20 years ago when I saw. Yeah, man.

Yeah. I'll give it too because I like Tiffany Ambritheson. Okay. And I think Tom Arnold has his moments. All right. Sometimes it's stupid, but that's just sort of

his humor. He almost makes it work. That was 2000's humor though. There was a few guys that were like that. Yeah. Harry Mandel. All right. Yeah, because there was stuff like the one girl out of the group, how everybody thought she was a lesbian

and they were clearly going to make it so she wasn't a lesbian at the end. It was just, oh, this coincidence I play sports and I want to try out for the WNBA. We'll see.

All right, they did that joke way better and pitch perfect where she was a lesbian at the end. All right. Yeah, I'm going to give it a, yeah, too, I think. All right. On to scary movie.

Two friends find themselves caught up and mayhem involving killers, monsters, and supernatural creatures once again. Director is Michael Titties. It's probably not how you say that, but it's what I'm doing it. That should have been the first red flag is that it wasn't Keenan Ivory Wains. The director was not Keen and Iry Wains. And I did not know that until I sat down and started watching the movie. And I'm like, oh, fuck.

because he's the one that has all the classics. Yeah. Well, what he is known for, though, is a haunted house and half-baked totally high. Oh, that's not. No. Haunted house. Oh, he's a friend of Marlins. Yes.

Oh, that was that one. Okay. Michael Titties. It's just a Marlon Wayans pseudonym. Could be. it could be wouldn't it be funny if we named him titties all right

writers are Sean and Marlon Wayans with Buddy Johnson Marlon Wayans lost 25 pounds in preparation to reprise his role as Shorty which is weird because he looks way bigger than the Shorty from like the two

but then again he's older I'm not going to hold that against him What do you mean he lost 25 pounds He looks big in that movie right? I don't believe that Marlon, has he been fat? No, but he was thicker. He was thicker because he's older than when he was younger. Yeah, he's shorty.

You see him 26 years ago. So he lost 25 pounds of muscle in preparation to play this role? No, he didn't. That's stupid. Maybe because he was on him. Remember that he was a quarterback on him. And this is, maybe they were shooting around the same time. That makes sense. Another weird ass movie, but we've already covered that one. Yeah, Marlon was pretty good in it.

All right. Yeah. Scary Movie 6 marks the return of the Wayans brothers since Scary Movie 2. That was a big part of the marketing, by the way, that they were back. And Marlon Wayans went on his podcast, and he said that the Weinstein brothers stole the movie from them. And they wanted $20 million for part three, Tom to Fuck Off. he hired the guys that did all those 1980s

parody movies, the Sucker Brothers although part three is still pretty decent from what I understand from the reviews but part four and five are atrocious and that was that and so they got they with what happened to Harvey Weinstein they were able to get the rights back and they made another shitty movie

so there you go well does that does their style of comedy still work is really what the problem is White Chicks is actually another movie that I watched with my kids. I love white chicks. A couple weeks ago. I love white chicks. It's one of my favorites.

Show him little man until while you're at it. That's another great movie. I forgot about that one. I didn't see that in a minute. All right. Well, what did you think about this one? I didn't like it at all. And I didn't go into the theater and not wanting to like it.

I'm a fan of these guys. I love in living color. That was a big staple of my childhood. so much great humor that you can't get away with today. I love, I'm a fan of the first two scary movies. I think they were very original. But this one just got so played out. And a lot of that political humor wasn't landing with me.

I mean, we get it. The thing about that kind of humor is that's already been done before by better people, like whether it's on comedy specials or on other shows or other movies. Like it almost seemed like they were like three years behind. And they were like just saying all these jokes. that we've all heard before. And none of it landed at all. It was all.

None of it landed. Like, Schlocky. And then, like, yeah, the shorty character was cool, but he seemed, in this movie, he seemed subdued. And maybe it's because Marlins, like, 50 years old. But still, like, I feel like if you compare that character to the first two movies, he wasn't as bombastic.

And to me, a lot of, a lot of the movie was anchored to that character. Because that's a character we all remember. And then you still had Sean with, with his character arc, with, you know, with the homosexual, thing that it just never evolves. It's the same joke. Literally for three straight movies is the same fucking joke over and over. Yeah, you'd think they would have like done something with that. That's not exactly the same thing.

Right. Literally the same joke. And then so I wasn't a fan of the ending, which we'll get to in spoilers at all. Like it didn't land for me whatsoever. The thing about these kind of movies, right, is that they're going to be, especially as we get older and hopefully we mature, because not every human being fits that criteria, unfortunately. But as we get older and we mature, our taste also change.

We want more sophisticated stuff to, you know, stimulate our brains for the most part. Sometimes you just want junk, but for the most part, a lot of this movie was just stuff that just, it doesn't, it didn't resonate with me. And part of it, what I wanted to say more than anything is the genre. The parody genre, inherently, there's no sense. stakes. There's no stakes. So for me, it's like, if I'm going to watch a parody movie, it's watching, I'm watching a cartoon. I don't want to watch a cartoon because nothing matters. You know, people come back from the death. People get ranned over and they get back up and they laugh and it's on to the next scene. So that is, that used to hit with me when I was younger, but it doesn't anymore. So this movie, it was just a chore to get through. And it's only an hour and a half, but it felt way longer just because it was one gag after another after another. And it was some of it, well, really none of it hit with me. Yeah. And again, a lot of those political jokes didn't hit with me. So, so yeah. They all were just lazy. Like even the, the, the Sean character, like, if they're, if you're going to do a big gay joke with him, like, let's make it now. Now he's now he's older and he realizes that he's gay and he's the one that's making the gay jokes, you know?

Yeah, exactly. Or maybe like, because they had the son, right, the son of the guy that had the big meeks, jacket under that, you know. And they also kind of teased. He was kind of like the Sean, the younger Sean were, but they could have done something with that, like you said, where the older one is kind of like now mentoring the younger one. I don't know, like you said, they were all just lazy jokes.

Yeah. And none of them hit with me. And it's even more saddered when you're watching in the theater and like nobody's laughing. That's where it gets a little concerning because I was there with a few other people. And we're just kind of watching the movie. and it's going along and it's like, okay, well, then whatever. And yeah, I made a shit ton of money, though,

because people thought they were going to get back, going back to the 2000s, but it got horrible reviews. I didn't like it. So that's kind of where I'm at. I'll get more into it during spoilers, but what do you guys think? Brian? I didn't like it either. I didn't like a damn thing Michael Titties did with this whole thing.

Damn it, Michael Titties. I mean, it was nice and a nostalgic way to see the original cast back or most of them. Yeah. But none of the jokes hit. You know, they were supposed to go at everybody. Nobody was safe. But nothing was funny.

It was stuff that I've heard before. It wasn't original. I don't know if this kind of movie works in. anymore, man. Well, see, we really can't, because a lot of people like the naked gun, though. That's the thing. And that was just last year. Yeah. The one bright spot, I will say, is what I'm looking at her name,

Olivia Rose Keegan, who played Anna Farris's daughter. I felt like she was channeling Anna Farris. Yeah, she nailed it. With the mannerisms and the way she sounds. I believe that was her daughter. Yeah, she was always high too, which was funny. Yeah. And I like that Anna Ferris brought up the house bunny because that's another one of my favorites.

Yeah. But outside. What did you guys think of the amount of jokes that were throwing at us like a mile a minute? Like it just seems like it was one, like we couldn't digest any jokes because we had a like set up. Right. Exactly. Well, that's sort of how these movies work usually. I mean, but like

Yeah, yeah, that's true, but I don't know, man. I don't remember being by bombarded by so many of them in one shot. You know, it's like, yeah, you know, one after. And then there was also like background jokes at the same time, like pictures and shit going on in the back. Like, I'll get into one in spoilers from the very beginning. And it's like, what the fuck's happening here? Like, let me catch my breath before you hit me with something new. And you have.

Austin Powers did this thing. You know? And Austin Powers is hilarious. Still holds up one of my favorite movies. That's true. Oh. What's going? I don't think Lance muted is Mike. What was I going to say?

Oh, and you have to see all the horror movies that they reference in here, or you will not get the references. Yeah. Right. Yeah, some of them are slightly obscure. Well, that works for us, though, because I think we've all seen all of them just a lot. But not everybody's us. That's the problem.

But I also, like, didn't care. Yeah. And they were parodying something. I just sort of rolled my eyes, you know? Yeah, it seemed lifeless. The movie was very lifeless for some reason. For such a big celebration of having the Wayne's brothers back and all that, it just seems like it was going through the motions.

Oh. Uh-oh. Well, sounds like Michael Titties did it again. There are goals. He muted himself already. He scored a double D for them titties. Oh, okay. All right.

Well, I guess let's go scores and then spoilers. I don't know if there's really not even much to spoil. but I'm gonna go I'm gonna go one on 10 my first one maybe ever yeah man that hurts this is definitely gonna end up

on a worst of Brian I'll give it two just because of that actresses performance in it put him two titties yeah she was yeah yeah

uh uh yeah I two and a half I it was it was fun seeing marlin wayans doing his thing again i haven't seen sean on a long time i love those guys uh it's out but it's kind of just a way in celebration at this point the rest of it was just

really really not good uh just lazy joke writing i don't know if this kind of movie works anymore or if it was just not done very well but you would think if marlin and sean wrote it that they would put a little more effort into it. I feel like they were doing their best to like, hey, we're here to break the mold and we're going to piss everybody off.

But they were just sort of like tapping around. You know, a part that I, I don't know if this is, no, this isn't the trailer because they cut this scene specifically when the movie Michael came out because it was on the internet. I will say that, I did get a chuckle. My only chuckle in the

entire movie was during the germane part. That's it. That was my only chuckle. Are we in the 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. Yeah, let's go spoilers. Okay, well, we're already in spoil. Mine was, uh, I did get a laugh. of the substance one. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. When Sherry O'Terry turned into,

was it Tiffany from White Chicks? That's right. That was a big camera. You know what? Sherry O'Therry probably did one of the best jobs in the movie. She was a hail storm. Hellstorm, that's right. It's good to see her again, too, man.

I used to love Sherry or Terry. Yeah, yeah, she did a good job in the movie. But yeah, that was a cool part. but I like the germane part the most. I wish they would have done a whole parody just of Michael the entire time. But yeah. So, but you guys, do you guys feel the deputy dofy was a little, they held back on him? Yeah.

Well, other than the fact that he was the villain in the first one and we're just supposed to forget, even though they bring it up. Yeah. Remember, he was also true. He was Kaiser Solzay in the first one. Yeah. Yeah, what happened to that? I was wondering about that. See, that was funny.

See, that part when, at the end when he just walks normal and he's like a regular guy. Yeah. And then, you know, that was funny. Dude, the first scary movie's really funny. Right. And they all die and then just come back in the second one, like nothing happened. Yale swallows. But, but yeah, no, yeah, you're right.

It seemed like he was a little held back. I think they all were. Like I said, even Marlon Wayne's character, Shorty, like, he was. in as bombastic as he's been in the other ones. He had this weird subplot of how he's like a streamer, and I guess he, that's why he makes his money. Well, yeah, they had the sneak

Kaisenade in there because he's the biggest streamer in there. Yeah. Is he the one that gets his head chopped off? Yeah. Oh, I know that was. But that was the long sequence when I was bored. Like, it was such a long sequence. Yeah. Bro, like, it's not funny. They're just

looking at the screen laughing. And then that happens, because they're playing I guess they're playing a game I didn't know this game existed. If I was younger, I would have taken note of it where you get slapped in the back of the head and you got to guess what it was. That was, that's yeah, and then

Ghostface ends up cutting his head with a little ass knife too, which was even, I guess it was funny. But yeah, no, I don't know. I just thought this movie was just blah. Like, it just, yeah, like Phillips said, this movies even kind of work anymore. I know that the naked gun kind of got over, but then we had Spinal Tap Part 2, which was also horrendous.

And there's been quite a few of the ones. Oh, I forgot about that. I never even watched it. That one sucks too. So save your time on that. And yeah, I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. Well, but see, in Spinal Tap is sort of a different thing because that's more of like a deadpan thing.

I feel like that should work if the jokes are there. Yeah. This one sort of like seems like it should work with rapid fire jokes, but none of them are funny. And the concerning part to me is that, yeah, it was a critical failure. Like the critics did not like it, but it was a big financial success. So we are getting another one. So it made it made over $100 million worldwide on a budget of like 30 million. So, man, I'd rather see white chicks too.

Yeah, that would be pretty. Can we talk about this ending? I don't even remember what happened. It sucks. They had chaps on at the end with their butts exposed. Oh, yeah. No, no. The reveal that it was Anthony Anderson and Shaquille O'Neill.

Oh. I feel like they had, this is what I felt like when I was watching this. I feel like they had bigger stars. Okay, first of all, let's set the picture for the people that don't care about spoilers or have I've already seen it. The whole ending of the film was a big knock at all the movies they were not in. scary movie three, four, and five. So if they would have had, if they were able to have Charlie Sheen in one of the masks,

that would have been awesome. Oh, yeah. You know, because he came, when the, what the Sucker Brothers came on board because they had to work with him and fucking, what is it, Hot Shops, Part Doo and all those other fucking movies. He came on board for part three and four, I think. And then, you know, it was,

so if he would have been under a mask, that would have been cool. I feel like they had bigger stars. And then they backed out and they just settled for Anthony Anderson and Shaquio Neil. Shakio only came on a came on a cameo in part four. Like he wasn't, he shouldn't even been there. That was another part that got a chuckle, though. I did. Marlon Wayne, Shaquille O'Neal impersonation that got me.

Oh, that's right. I did laugh at the Kevin Hart jab. Yeah, that was funny too. I thought it was going to be Kevin Hart and it was Shaquille O'Neal. And it was like, well, it should have been Kevin Hart. That motherfucker does everything. Right. it and then and then it ended up being okay so then they blew that off right they killed those

the the people that were not in the that were hired to be in the movies they weren't in and then it became a whole thing of like fuck the legacy thing because the legacy characters in real movies those are the ones that take over from no no the younger characters take over from the legacy characters and then they just killed all the younger characters and then that was the end of the movie they kept their rights to their own property and then they walked away with their asses exposed. I didn't hate that part. Well, the asses was dumb.

Well, although I guess it does given the situation. She has a nice ass for being an older lady. Yeah. An ass double in here. But yeah, so I didn't like it. I didn't even stay for the, I'm sure there was mid-credit.

I didn't stay. I walked out of the theater. I was like, I was done with this. There was a bar. in as what's his name from Nasferatu spoof oh okay

you didn't miss anything yeah I didn't see that either so yeah so I was like yeah I don't I'm not yeah so I was done by that point but let me see let me see if there's other highlights I don't know again they try to do the subway scene again

from a from a scream five or six or whatever the fuck. And they try to do a political joke about pronouns. But I think that's on the trailer though. Yeah. And then essentially what it was to me, it was pretty much a remake, a comedy remake of Scream 5 because everything was,

all the kills were from that movie. You know, the white kid that gets stabbed in the neck and scream five, you know, Cuba Gooding's kid who gets shot in the backyard. The subway scene, was that six? I don't know. Who knows? But they were all just knockups of that. They won't movie, you know?

They didn't give us, like, different movies to, you know, to parody. And then what do you guys think of the whole thing about how, like, we knew it was the boyfriend and that was the whole joke. Like, everybody knew it was the boyfriend, but he would always change the subject. I didn't hate that especially when he when he gets hit with the frying pan then he has a big old knot on his head after he takes out of the mask

yeah I didn't make me check a little bit I didn't hate that like it was like almost there it just wasn't funny like the jokes were just lazy I guess that's one way to put it it was yeah it was kind of there and then it just wasn't it was weird like the

the main the storyline in general like I like that idea where they killed off the young people. And, uh, and, and, and, you know, they were taking over their own thing and walking away with their asses hanging out, which was, didn't think about it until. Maybe, maybe that was like they were showing their asses to like other people that took their franchise from them, you know? Yeah.

But like, like, I feel like this, the story's sort of there. The jokes just weren't. Right. Okay. That's one way to put it. Yeah, so that's pretty much it. Well, there it is. The new scary movie.
