What's up everybody? Welcome back to a brand new episode of THR Quick Reviews. I'm your host Brian. With me, as always, this is my brother, Nez.
Starting point is 00:00:30 What's up, man? Yo, what's up, everybody? We're back with a quick one. Well, they just... he colony? Yeah, I saw colony. Let's do both of them. We'll give you guys
Starting point is 00:00:46 a two first. But let them know what we're doing, what the first one's going to be. We're doing the brand new, what would you categorize as mascot horror? Children's show horror? I guess. It's just labeled horror here, but it was
Starting point is 00:01:03 a, what is Wikipedia calls it black comedy supernatural horror okay we're here to talk about 2026 as buddy dressed as a unicorn a beloved children's TV host reveals the true self
Starting point is 00:01:28 reviews his true self as a dark and violent force of nature that is Google let's see what IMTV has to say A brave girl and her friends must escape a kids television show. But it doesn't really tell you anything. This is directed by Casper Kelly, which I know him from.
Starting point is 00:01:56 That little short he did for Cartoon Network, too many cooks. And he did a segment in VHS. Was it VHS Halloween? was that the yeah yeah I don't remember which one but
Starting point is 00:02:16 everyone's saying yeah he directed one of those I was like I don't even remember that movie at all this stars Kristen Melotti Delaney Quinn Tofer Grace
Starting point is 00:02:33 Caleb Williams Benny Taylor Eric Baza Patton Oswald Keegan Michael Key Michael Shannon and a bunch of other people Nez what did you think
Starting point is 00:02:52 of Buddy they could have shaved off maybe 15 10 minutes of this absolutely because I mean I get they were trying to set up what this was who buddy
Starting point is 00:03:10 was I mean I mean kind of basically a a Barney rip-off that's what I got if you guys were I'm sure some of you watched Barney I mean I watched it only because of my kids and that's what they wanted to watch and I was kind of curious on what it was but it was kind of that type of type of show of who buddy was the buddy the unicorn I kept hearing everybody talking about it. I just seen pictures. I didn't watch any trailers, so I really didn't know what this movie was going to be about other than, oh yeah, some Barney looking guy. He's going to be killing kids in a TV show. And I was like, all right, that sounds cool. Let me check it out. Because one of my buddies, he saw it, but he said he fell asleep. So he went with me the other
Starting point is 00:04:07 night and we saw it again or he saw it again um but overall did he fall asleep because he was tired or because he thought the movie was boring he fell asleep because he was tired he fell asleep when we were watching again and i was sitting there watching i heard going snow and i just said dude wake up i said don't recline you recline and that's it so that's why i don't recline because i know i'll fall asleep but I mean I was tired but but I got through it so again I really didn't know much about who who buddy was or what the premise was for this for this movie other than him killing kids and everything but I mean sitting there watching it I mean the beginning kind of just stretches out on okay this is this is the setting for buddy and the kids
Starting point is 00:05:04 like a like a Barney type show kind of had that vibes of a peewey's playhouse as well and so I was like okay I mean I like what's going on here and then once it took its turn into what it was going to be like the the horror the rated arness of the film I was like all right I mean but the way everyone was selling it to me like yeah he's killing all these kids so I was like all right I'm with it I mean Have you guys seen an ice tree man On how much death and blood
Starting point is 00:05:37 And guts and that was But this one was kind of tame I was like Okay but I mean I liked what was going on I had to watch something To for someone to explain the ending Because it kind of just ended And that was it
Starting point is 00:05:53 I mean but overall I mean it was okay I didn't like Leave the theater like Oh man That was awesome I want to go see it again and all this.
Starting point is 00:06:03 If I watch it again, it'll be streaming somewhere. But I wouldn't, I don't think I'd go back to the theater to sit through this again. But, I mean, the all-star of the film is Freddie,
Starting point is 00:06:15 Delaney Quinn. I really liked her character on what she, who she was, what she was doing. And as the horror started to kick in. So, but, I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:30 we're not going to spoil this. But at the end, when everything was going haywire, and you were kind of figure out what was going on, I was like, ah, okay. I mean, I see that. I mean, I enjoyed it. Again, I had to watch something for the ending to be explaining me. But, I mean, I did like that.
Starting point is 00:06:54 But, yeah, like I said, they could have shaved a few minutes off of this, and it wasn't what everyone was saying. Everyone was like, ah, it's one of the greatest movies ever. And the theater was packed. My buddy's going again tonight to see it. He took his daughter to see it a few days ago, and she loved it, and she wanted to go see it again. So he goes, hey, man, you want to come see it?
Starting point is 00:07:16 And I'm like, I'm too tired. So, but again, I mean, I thought, I liked the movie. I thought it was good. Good to see on the big TV screen, because I love the aspect ratio of, how it looked when it was like the the the the the TV set for you old schoolers with the square in the middle and then when it kind of goes into the real world I mean that all that stuff's in the trailers whole was nothing uh like spoiling it so but I mean then then the it kind of
Starting point is 00:07:49 fanned out and it used up the whole screen but every time I went back to the TV show setting it went it got into a square but but again overall I liked the production of the film, the effects and the blood and all that when that started. But it was just okay. I mean, like I said, I don't think I'm going to go see this again in the theater. But what did you think of it? Well, I've been hearing about this for the past year, because if everybody don't know, I do the news,
Starting point is 00:08:24 post the news and stuff on our social media. So I've been hearing this about it for, probably a year maybe a little over a year and it's just been getting hyped and height and height and then I seen this YouTuber Stoney the Great which if you guys haven't watched his stuff go check it out
Starting point is 00:08:48 he does really great stuff he did a review on Buddy and sold me on it said that this movie doesn't give a fuck it kills kids so i'm like okay i'm gonna check it out because uh if anybody didn't hear our ice cream man episode i did not like it as much as nez did so i checked this out and it started pretty slow and then when it got into the story i was i was starting to get into it but then when the kills happened i was just kind of like this is not
Starting point is 00:09:31 what I was sold on. Yeah. It's not ruthless. It's not R-rated. Very safe, very tame. But with that being said, I did like where the story was going. I do agree with you. It could have about 15, 20 minutes shaved off would have probably been nice.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I did like the aspect ratio changes. All these voice actors, did not know they were in a patent of Oswald Michael Shannon the only one I knew was Keegan Michael Key was the voice of buddy I didn't even know Tofer Grace and Clinton Howard were in this
Starting point is 00:10:15 so it was cool to see them show up but I was still entertained but I was left a little disappointed by the end of the movie yeah I was too I mean I mean I didn't know all these big stars were going to be in this movie i mean patten oswald once uh he
Starting point is 00:10:40 played uh the voice of strappy it was um freddie's backpack and like you said keegan michael key was buddy tofer grace was uh i don't know what's count well he was a dad i'll say that so when he popped up on the screen i was like whoa okay and then I didn't know Kristen Melotti was in it. I've seen her in a few things. She was in that. She was a main character in that show, The Penguin on HBO Max.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Yeah. So I knew she was in it from like pictures and stuff. I didn't know Clinton Howard was in it. When he popped up on the screen, I take it nobody in that my screen, he knew who he was because I was the only one. They went, whoa, yeah. We're not spoiling it,
Starting point is 00:11:33 but his character is a little. questionable. Yeah, there was I'd say I'd be spoiling. There was something with his character and his little puppet too as well. Buffy, uh, buddy. He does some questionable things too.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah, he did. I was like, you know what scene I'm talking about. I was like, whoa, where are we going with this? I know. I was like, damn. And Michael Shannon, I did not know that was him until the credits were rolling. He was the voice of Willie, the little puppet. Cowboy puppet.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Yeah, that was with Glenn Howard. I was like, whoa, what's going on here? In that one scene with them two, I was like, whoa, what's happening? Yeah. Oh, man, but yeah, I mean, it's worth a watch. We're not saying don't go see it. If you want to go see in the theater, you'll probably have a good movie theater experience
Starting point is 00:12:46 because this is the flavor of the month. Every showing that I would click on, it was like pretty much full. I mean, my whole role I was in was full. And I was just like, wow. I was like, why? I mean, I guess maybe it's just word of mouth and people are curious and want to see it. Well, it's kind of also besides like backrooms and analog, creepypasta stuff,
Starting point is 00:13:17 this is kind of like the flavor right now with the, you see Mr. Crockett? Came out on Hulu a couple years ago. Let me see. Mr. Crockett. Oh, yeah, I did see it. There's another one on screen box called, I think I get in the name right, Monkees' magical merry-go-round. It's pretty much buddy.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Okay. Mr. Crocker. I know what it is. I haven't seen it. And, of course, you got, like, five nights at Freddy's, and going back a few years ago, the Banana Splits movie. So this has been kind of a thing the past few years. especially with all these
Starting point is 00:14:06 Winnie the Pooh and Mickey or the mouse Have you seen Pinocchio on strong? No, is that out? Yeah, it's available to rent. Oh, because people are, one of my friends at work, he's like, I want to go see that,
Starting point is 00:14:20 it looks good. I liked it. And I'm like, okay, I guess it didn't come to our area in the theater, so. Pinocchio doesn't, Pinocchio doesn't give a fuck. and buddy didn't either in this
Starting point is 00:14:36 I mean for a way he was acting um there's more to the story because once it gets to the end when we're kind of revealed on what what's going on what's what buddy is doing and I was kind of like
Starting point is 00:14:54 okay I like I mean the guy I wrote this man he actually sat there and thought about it so I don't know if there's going to be a sequel I assume this is doing really good in the box office because like I said I mean especially in Reno every screening had just a ton of people in there and when did this come out
Starting point is 00:15:19 this came out on the 28th of last week yeah yeah okay see well shit we're only on the fourth all right so A week and some change or two weeks now. But everybody is still rushing out to see this movie. I think it's getting good word of mouth. And there's these videos going around about parents taking their kids to this movie
Starting point is 00:15:53 because they didn't know it was a rated R movie and all this. And I was like, man, it's just, that's bullshit. I mean, it was just. Well, that guy, Stoney the Great, I was talking about. I guess he got some hate for people saying that he was glorifying children getting killed. And he had to make a video just basically saying it's a fucking movie. Oh.
Starting point is 00:16:19 He's not glorifying children actually being killed. It was actually kind of tame, and we don't really... We don't really see any of the kids killed. A lot of off-screen stuff. Yeah. I mean, the first kid that gets it, we'll give you this one. It was like, we didn't even know. He just kind of disappeared.
Starting point is 00:16:41 We knew what was happening. He was kind of smarting off to Buddy. And then Buddy took him off to the side. And that was pretty much all we seen. And then we found out later that that kid is dead. So I was like, okay. I mean, I was like, I wish I could have seen that. In movies, when, in movies,
Starting point is 00:17:02 when kids get killed, especially with something like this? I mean, yeah, you want to see it. But, oh, man. Yeah, we're not glorifying it. We just it's a movie. It's make believe. Yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:17:18 if you're doing it, let's see it. I mean, like, like ice cream man, all those kids that were murdering and disemboweling people, I was like, whoa. I mean, I gave a shout out to those parents that let them be, in that movie. And this one
Starting point is 00:17:34 as well, but it didn't seem, it wasn't as brutal as ice cream in. Or something as recent as it, Welcome to Derry. Yeah. Those are kids, those kids were getting it left and right. Yeah, this one was just like, if we'd see the buildup to it and it was kind of like an off-screen thing. So, but I mean, I mean, there's more stuff
Starting point is 00:17:56 at the end. I don't, I don't want to spoil it. And I really did like that. when we find out kind of how these kids got to the buddy world. So I was like, when, uh, what's her name, uh, Freddie, the main girl, when she gets the part at the end, I kind of wanted more of that. Yeah, I was, I figured that there would be more, but I don't know. I mean, is there a sequel coming or? Well, it's made 9 million, but I'm not seeing what the budget was.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Budget couldn't have been too hard for this. I mean, it got 89% on the tomato meter and 76 for the popcorn meter. I mean, you take rotten tomatoes for what it's worth. I mean, everyone is other than everyone is talking about it and everybody's rushing out to go see this movie. I mean, I did too. I was intrigued on what was going on. So, but I still like, eh, it was okay.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I didn't leave the theater like some people were like, oh, man, that was awesome. And because it was like during the violence and everything, they were kind of going, ooh, ooh, and then when you're laughing, when you're supposed to laugh, they laughed. But I don't know. I was looking at it more for the acting. I mean, like I said, what's her name?
Starting point is 00:19:33 She was the All-Star. Delaney Quinn is Freddie. She really did a good job. Or even Caleb Williams. He played Wade or CJ. I liked him. One kid was funny with the glasses. Oh, man, that kid pissed me off.
Starting point is 00:19:51 I mean, he just did something that pissed me off. I was like, man. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. But he was funny to me during their little journey. yeah I did like that I mean because if you watch a trailer or Barney and everything you know what's all shot on a little sound stage and the way they draw things in the back because they were the one of the kids got hurt and they were saying buddy was telling him yeah he went off to was it Crystal City or Diamond City yeah Diamond City to see the doctors there's better doctors there because I guess that kid who got hurt, he went to see the nurse.
Starting point is 00:20:34 There was a nurse in Buddy World. I liked how when they got out of the yard. And it was like, soon as you get out of the yard, it turns into a scary forest. And they were trying to get the Diamond City or whatever. And they kind of show it, but it just, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:55 it looks like it's painting on the wall or something like that. And the way the kids are looking at, like, got to get over there and then when they get there and they find it and they're like, hey, wait a minute. I think that was a part that really
Starting point is 00:21:09 made me laugh. But then again, if you're curious and you don't mind sitting in the theater watching this, because it was the beginning to me was the part that drug. I mean, I get it.
Starting point is 00:21:25 I mean, they were trying to set it up for you for what to come, but I was just like, they were trying to give you that Barney TV show feel. Yeah. The only thing I could find was the budget seems to be around under 3 million. Yeah. So so far, let's say it is three, even three, that's made three times its budget already.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Well, if anything, I mean, the sets, they had to build. I don't know how much that costs, but I'm sure it costs a lot. Yeah, and I'm sure. Keegan Michael Key, Pat and Oswald, Michael Shannon they probably didn't come cheap or maybe for all we know they knew the director. This was a favor. I guess maybe. I mean, that's the only way I can think.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I'm sure they didn't get millions to be in this. So I don't know. They're showing way too much in the trailer. Geez, they just showed kind of almost the ending. I won't tell you what it was, but when you see it, you'll know. So, but there's a phone number that you can call that's in on the, the trailer. They show it really quick.
Starting point is 00:22:53 I was kind of like, wait, what is this? I didn't. Because a buddy of mine said, called it and then I guess he started getting text messages from from buddy and I'm like what wait what so um effort I'm gonna call it everyone and we're gonna see what uh buddy has to say so if you want to call them too I'll tell you the number it's 5 71 uh, 642,
Starting point is 00:23:36 uh, 8339. 8339. I wasn't supposed to press a 1, was I? Oh, we'll see. Why don't we don't get ding for this? Yeah, I better stop.
Starting point is 00:24:12 I don't know if we're going to get ding for it. Well, that's what it is. So, but, um, I don't know, but my buddy, I guess he texted it too and he started getting text messages from buddy. I don't want all that but
Starting point is 00:24:28 kind of reminds me of uh, did you see wrinkles the clown? I've never seen that one. That's like a little documentary. Yeah. And there's a number you could call. And, uh, we talked about it on the East Society a few years
Starting point is 00:24:44 ago and I called it. Isn't wrinkles like if you want to scare your kids? Yeah, if you got bad kids that are acting up and you want to put some fear in them, you call up wrinkles and he comes over and scares the hell out of your kids or does something.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Oh man. But yeah, again, buddy, I mean, if you're curious and you want to see it on the big screen, I say go for it. But again, I mean, I'll watch it again once it starts streaming somewhere. But, I mean, I liked
Starting point is 00:25:17 when we kind of revealed on what what's going on and why you kind of like i mean there really isn't a why on what buddy's doing but you can see how how the the characters in buddy world got to to buddy world the kids the other actors that are there's a mailman there's a nurse and and all that so i liked that on how how how how they did that but we don't get all that to the end. So, but
Starting point is 00:25:53 if you got to rate it, what are you going to give it? Um, just off of the first watch, I think, uh, seven, seven and a half. Um,
Starting point is 00:26:07 I'd be right in the middle. I probably just give it a five. So, but, um, I give production, uh, 10 because,
Starting point is 00:26:17 I mean, they had to build all this, the, the sets of everything. So, and I really liked all that. If there was CGI in it, I didn't catch it.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Do you think that was there any? I'm trying to think back. I don't think there was. If there was, it was minor. Yeah. And I don't know about AI. I didn't see anything in that.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Usually the internet is blown up when we, when they figure out something's AI. Yeah. So, I mean, because they were going for it for ice cream, man. And the kills for what I'm remember all practical yeah well the kills that they show yeah so I mean I liked I
Starting point is 00:27:02 liked what was happening in this but all right boys and girls that's buddy The next one The next one is Colony It's a rated hour It was two hours and three minutes Uh Professor
Starting point is 00:27:46 C. Jung attends a biotech conference only to witness a spiral into is it catastrophic or whatever. When a rapidly mutating virus is unleashed as the outbreak spreads and the infected begin to transform
Starting point is 00:28:08 authorities seal off the entire facility. All right. This is directed by Yon San from what I understand is the guy that directed a train to Busan Peninsula yeah Peninsula and some other things written by Choi Q. Siok I think that's like you saying and Jan Sangho I'm a butcher all these names but I'll give him a shot Junji
Starting point is 00:28:44 Hewn hewn Ko Kyo Hawan or Wan I don't know I can't pronounce it G Chang Wu Kim Shin Rock Go Seoul
Starting point is 00:28:58 Angus Angus Angung Bangus and some other people but Good job Brian
Starting point is 00:29:12 what did you think of a colony I liked it I didn't like it as much as a train to Busan. And when I heard it was from the same guy, I was hoping that we get a little more train to Busan, but this was a little more peninsula. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Because this was a little more action horror. And Train to Busan had a little bit more emotion, a little bit more heart to it. And I was wondering if this was going to be set in the world of Train to Busan. but we get kind of different acting zombies in this one which I thought was cool
Starting point is 00:29:52 and I like the setting I missed a lot of the dialogue because when you're watching the action you're not really reading the subtitles so this is definitely it needs a rewatch but for the most part I liked it yeah
Starting point is 00:30:11 this this movie was awesome they could have shaved a few minutes off I don't think it needed to rebe quite two hours, but... You think 90 minutes is the sweet spot? Yeah, I mean, you can get your point across and everything. With the Korean zombies, I mean, I've noticed that there's similarities from train to Busan to peninsula to what was that show?
Starting point is 00:30:42 Kingdom, hashtag alive and stuff like that. I mean, like our Walking Dead and Romero stuff, and everyone was just, excuse me, kind of just trotting along. I mean, these ones, they really did a,
Starting point is 00:30:59 um, a different take on how the zombies or the infected were. I liked how they kind of like worked in stages on, from when you first turned, and then, these ones were kind of like Bub, they can learn as they were going along.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I mean, they couldn't talk or, well, I don't know that one scene, but I mean, but overall, I enjoyed it, man, but once it got going, I mean, once it kicks in, you can watch like the first 20 minutes on YouTube. Somebody, somebody threw it up.
Starting point is 00:31:41 But when we see what's going on and we see why this is happening, It was basically a disgruntled employee or something, trying to get his attention to the main guy that runs this building where all the science stuff is going on. And I liked how he just, he called like the cops and told them like, hey, this is going to happen here.
Starting point is 00:32:10 So I'm letting you guys know all hell's about to break loose. And then when it did, it did. But also, like I said, I'm watching the trailer. These infected, of course, they're going to run after you and bite you and eat you and all that. But there was some other things on what was going on in this, which I won't spoil. Yeah, that was a big surprise. Yeah. I was acting.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Uh-huh. I was like, oh, okay. Because if you guys remember in train to Busan, when the lights went out, it's like they couldn't see. And we kind of had that in this. a little. But there were some other things that this director decided to change with the lore of the Korean zombies and everything. So I liked what was happening in here and what was going on. I mean, the acting, I thought everybody did get, did a good job.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I was expecting it to be, they kind of went into the whole human factor on the characters on what was going on and them trying to survive. Yeah, but not as much as trained to Busan. Oh, no, man, that movie had me in tears. I mean, I just saw that recently a couple weeks ago when they brought it back to the theater and I was sitting there crying, especially at the end. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:33:30 That destroyed me the very, very first time I watched, the first time I saw that, I was at work and I was watching it on my phone and I was sitting there crying my eyes out at the end. I was like, why am I crying? But she wouldn't sing the song too To her father
Starting point is 00:33:49 But she sang the song for her father Yeah I was like Oh man But yeah But with this one was going on I want to see it again Will I buy it? Hell yeah
Starting point is 00:33:58 I'm gonna buy this when it comes out I mean this is definitely in my In my top 10 Of horror films of the year Because I was really juiced for this Because when I went and seen it man That was a hell of people in there Um
Starting point is 00:34:12 I thought this was that that other one hope yeah that one I think that was next week yeah I think on the ninth I think that's I don't want to say dinosaurs
Starting point is 00:34:26 but is it like big monsters or something I think it's like aliens or something okay I mean that one it looks good I know it's supposed to have Michael Fastbender in it what I think I don't know
Starting point is 00:34:39 but I mean with this one man this this movie was awesome I love I loved it. I wanted to go see it in the theater again, but it's only playing like one time now. But it's still in the theater, but it only gets one showing. So, but yeah, again, once it comes out in the physical media or whatever, I'm buying this one because I really did love it. I thought every character, especially the main girl. I assume this Sejong, I think that was her.
Starting point is 00:35:14 but she was the no that was a guy that started at all I can't remember there's a character in it that's that I'm about the final girl
Starting point is 00:35:32 yeah her and that other guy was like her ex-husband but they still worked together yeah and shout out to that guy that character's wife man she was still like
Starting point is 00:35:43 I mean she knew that her husband was working with his ex and she she didn't care. Some people are like, hell no, but I mean, I don't know. I will say, without spoiling it, I will say people work together more easily than they do in other zombie movies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:05 I mean, again, they're showing way too much in this trailer. But, I mean, for those you to have seen it, you know on how these, these weren't your traditional zombies running after you trying to eat you. There was other stuff going on. I liked how it had that, that Demons 2 vibe because everyone was stuck in this high-rise building. And the police were outside, quarantine and keeping everybody in there. So it kind of had that, that feeling of it and what was going on. Have we done Demons 2?
Starting point is 00:36:44 I think we only did the first one. put it on the list. But again, I mean, this one, this movie was awesome. I really loved it. What rating will you give it? Oh, this one's an easy eight and a half for me. I'm going to go nine. I'd give it a 10, but it was just,
Starting point is 00:37:05 they could have shaved off a few minutes. It was a little long. But it flew by because when the action kicks in, it goes full throttle to the end. And what happened? At the very end, I was like, oh, cool. So I don't know if there's going to be more or anything, but I don't mind it if they just ended it here. I mean, the world's going crazy and this is how we're going to leave it.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I'm like, I'm okay with it. So, but Coney definitely gets a thumbs up from both of us. And the other one, buddy, see it if you want. I mean, if you're curious. I mean. Yeah, stay away from fairly. Yeah, stay away from trailers for both of these films. So.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Matter of fact, stay away from trailers regardless. Unless it's a teaser, like a little minute teaser. Yeah, like the, the Doomsday. I mean, they're showing a lot, but. They kind of have to. Yeah. Because there was no real build, build up the Doom. Yeah, so we'll, we'll see what happens there.
Starting point is 00:38:14 But yeah, Buddy in theaters now. Connie, it's still in the theaters around here. And if it is, and you guys haven't made it out to see it yet, definitely go see that. It was cool. And you got to read quick so you can at least see what was going on
Starting point is 00:38:29 on the screen. Doing pretty good. It looks like off a $12 million budget, it's made $51 million so far. That's good. Oh, shout out to that one character. It's not really a spoiler.
Starting point is 00:38:46 on it in the trailer. The guy that was carrying his sister around. The handicab lady? Yeah, she was in a wheelchair, but then... I'm sorry, man. That guy's better than me. I was thinking, damn, what she weighed? Like a buck 10, maybe?
Starting point is 00:39:06 Because he was just running around. Yeah. Because she was in a wheelchair. And, I mean, it was his sister. So he was like, well, I'm not just going to leave you here. So he had this little rigging that he rigged up. It was basically like a backpack with kind of a seat on it.
Starting point is 00:39:26 And she was sitting there strapped to him by he's running for a, where everybody's running for their lives. And he's holding on to her and running and running with her back. Yeah, because the way she's positioned, it looks like she's riding him. Yeah. He was like riding him like a taunton. I was like,
Starting point is 00:39:44 damn man again she didn't look that heavy but even still i mean 100 pounds is 100 pounds or even if she's 90 pounds and i guess you can say you probably had all that adrenaline gone yeah because when these these are the fast-moving ones and when they start moving and once they get infected it's it's on and you better just haul ass i mean i in this world i'm i'm sure the fatties would go first for you zombie land lovers but man this movie was really good
Starting point is 00:40:20 I loved it it was just like oh man so I was glad that I got to go see this in the theater but again buddy colony buddies in the theater everywhere it's going strong colony it's dwindling down to one show

Starting point is 00:41:55 Yeah, I almost said sudden impact. Have we ever done any of those dirty hair movies? I think we did one. The one where he's trying to stop the assassin or whatever, the shooter. Oh, the Scorpio or whatever his name is?

I've seen the one for Resident Evil. Yeah, I was looking at it. They had it on the day. I was like, and why? Why is this? This is basically one of those little lunchbox type of things. Yeah, basically he said the movie, he's not redoing the first game as a movie. It's set in the universe as the first game. Okay. But you're going to see a lot of stuff you would see in the game. All right, good. So I'm assuming. in that is in the game
Starting point is 00:45:15 in the movie. I noticed because I was wondering about the popcorn thing why is this when I saw the trailer before a buddy um
Starting point is 00:45:24 this guy's running around delivering I don't know if it was a heart or something medical something they has to keep cool
Starting point is 00:45:32 so it's in that little cooler and I went oh okay that's why the popcorn thing is what it is I mean I wouldn't put popcorn in it.
Starting point is 00:45:45 I kind of want it. A lot of them things I wouldn't put popcorn in. I mean, some of them, like, we've talked about before, you only put, like, maybe a handful of popcorn in it. They, uh, on subject of popcorn things, for those of you that collect them, cool. They had, I guess, there's some new Harry Potter show coming out, right?
