Starting point is 00:01:24 Could be. Harrowing. It was. I don't do horror, John. I'm sorry, Troy. We found the perfect convergence. My horror movies are saxophone lead and grandpaws celebrate. Often, you can't rain all the time in them, you know?
Starting point is 00:01:45 Yeah, they're lighter. It's okay. It's okay. I won't do this to you anymore. It's about death stalking someone perhaps, or it's a catchy meta commentary on horror. So when people get eviscerated, it's funnyish. Sure, sure, I get you. I'm discussing scream.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I didn't mean to take advantage of your trust today. Oh, God. In fact, guys, look, to make Koi feel better, if you happen to be listening on Apple or Spotify, why don't you just leave a rating, maybe five stars. Coy, it really helps Koi's morale, and it also helps these, you know, podcasts and whatnot to travel far and wide, as we hope they always will.
Starting point is 00:02:22 And buy shirts to support my therapy bills. Oh, shirts, what do you mean? You mean, like, one of these? The ones we're wearing? Like this nifty for the occasion. Exactly. I dressed with this guy who looks kind of like he could be a vampire, even though he's based off of Vectna.
Starting point is 00:02:39 And one from, you know, squid game. We got there. Yeah. That was like, I don't know what that other one is. Rejagnation shop.com. That's a great place to support the channel. We got a whole bunch of designs up there. They're designed for the most part in-house.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I've got a couple licensed things as well. But it's one of our favorite ways to support. so if you feel so inclined and you want to get that reject drip all over your physical form that's a place to do it Boy! That was harrowing, Manubinette. I knew that. I knew I knew him from something.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Okay, okay. I was waiting for the full-on credits. The credits were great. They were very ominous. Now we're into the actual, like, read-through credits. I'm exhausted. Yeah. Whole thing, sound design, score, still carrowing into my nightmares as we speak. Yes, keep talking.
Starting point is 00:03:25 I'm just make sure you're still. the point of focus. Okay, I did slide around a bit in this reaction. There was towing, there was froing. There was twoing and froing. It's all gooding. All right, so this was better than I thought it was going to be, but better has an asterisk
Starting point is 00:03:41 because I mean traumatizing. It was more affecting than I thought it was going to be. Only because I just didn't I don't feel like I heard about it a lot. I mean, I remember when it came out hearing a lot about it. And I remember like people loving it
Starting point is 00:03:57 but I haven't in the last 15 years heard about it so with the quality that it was that surprises me yeah yeah exactly it doesn't make a lot of vampire lists you know what I mean like when people are like oh vampire movies like you have a certain amount of them that they discuss I get yeah there are a number of
Starting point is 00:04:13 like either classics or other like really notable examples that I think get brought up before this but I thought yeah I enjoyed this as well and I wasn't quite I didn't know quite what level to expect because kind of of that sort of non-reputation it seems to have in both comic book and horror movie sort of discourse and whatnot. And yeah, like I thought that this was a really fun and immediate experience. If I have any complaint about it, it's mostly just that it's so straightforward that, you know, there's not really a lot of other meat on the bones.
Starting point is 00:04:52 So it makes me wonder what the comic itself was like in terms of like what greater themes or characterizations might have been happening. But just as like the promise of the premise and you know being certainly like I like all stripes of horror and I can certainly get down with some carnage and some gore.
Starting point is 00:05:13 And I thought this certainly brought that lean, mean, you know, carnivorous kind of horror. And it had that in spades for sure. And I had, you know, like the place, the setting is a character, the cold. And the contrast between the cold and like when things are burning up and stuff like that. Like all those things I thought were really evocative. And I liked the cast a lot. You know, I thought they assembled both in the characters who, you know, the actors who we know quite well,
Starting point is 00:05:42 as well as, you know, like the various character actors and things. Like I thought everybody brought a lot of presence and where the script didn't always have necessarily like, again, as much. thematically happening. I thought the actors brought tons of presence and dedication to kind of fill in the gaps. I was behind
Starting point is 00:05:59 Danny Houston at breakfast, not a week ago. And now, think twice. I have a very different experience. I was like, oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Like, I didn't say hi or anything. I was just, I remember going like, hey, Danny Houston. And now, terror. Now fear. Now,
Starting point is 00:06:15 I'm glad I, you know, reluctantly was like, oh, is Danny Houston. I'll be over here. Because now I'd be running. I'd be leaving. 2007. Guys, this was how many years ago?
Starting point is 00:06:25 Well, it'll be 17 this year, which is just a terrifying number. Oh, no. That is too many years since 2007. It feels like 2007 was like five years ago. I know. Anyway, my thoughts, I personally don't generally dive into this genre because of how you might have experienced my visceral reactions to things. I am very affected.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I'd prefer to stay affected by things. I think it's good to have a strong fighter flight, but that does mean like, I'm physically exhausted. I went to the gym this morning before this, because I was afraid this would happen, not knowing that this movie was 60 miles per hour to start and then accelerates to 200. It starts at 60, and then it just goes.
Starting point is 00:07:06 7.5,000 people give it four and a half stars. I agree with those people. Yeah, this is solid for me as far as like, it's like an A-minus. One of the things, oh, there's a sequel. One of the things you had mentioned was, you know, the mean of the bone and those elements. And I think that's one of the strengths for me personally
Starting point is 00:07:22 is I really enjoy a nice commentary and I really enjoy a nice like humanity and like those motifs and horror film that can make you more introspective and all those things but I also like when a movie is like I'm going to use Mad Max as an example like Mad Max is an action movie that has a lot
Starting point is 00:07:42 of meat in the bone if you want to find those things but you can also go like movie and enjoy the bombast this to me I'm sure if I wanted to stop think about, you know, the journey of what Josh Hartnett went through and, like, you know, separation and family. And there's, there's elements that are there, even if they're not, like, you know, as much as part of the story, but you can find
Starting point is 00:08:02 that. To me, I really enjoyed that this was kind of a beat them up, drag him out, you know, violent for violent sake, especially maybe because I don't watch a lot of this, so this is like, I'm good for a while. Like, this is probably my quota for quarter one. Like, I'm
Starting point is 00:08:18 set for violence. I personally, and I know the comments are going to be like, But I don't even like watch the raid and shit Like I don't even like martial arts violence Oh the raid is so good though No and I can respect it but I won't throw it on Like I you know what I mean like if I see a fight scene And someone like is breaking an arm
Starting point is 00:08:36 It's not joyous for me Like just my experience of art is like If there's trauma on screen I'm affected So I don't like put on movies And I know a lot of people are like yeah hyperviolence Not for me personally But our Serbian film reaction I mean obviously next week
Starting point is 00:08:52 But then again, like, I will watch Requiem for a dream often. So, like, it's weird. Like, I think my exposure to, like, drug trauma is different than, like, physical trauma. So, like, I have no problem with, like, ass to ass. Like, I can hit first person I have ever encountered who has not said specifically, I don't need to watch that movie ever again. I've probably watched Requiem, like, nine times. But I think it's good for me to be like, okay, don't do it as. mini drugs you know what I mean like stick with mushrooms
Starting point is 00:09:24 like it's a good cautionary tale but this is like you know the opposite where it's just like I'm a beat you up with violence and it's not my thing but I was able to get so much out of it because it was so like immediately it knows what it is it doesn't let off the gas I was worried about 40 minutes in when it had been so brutal for so long that I didn't know where to go like my biggest concern was like okay we've got an hour left
Starting point is 00:09:48 because I don't know the runtime like it's probably going to be an hour and 30 minute movie and it ended up being a two hour movie of just violence but I was worried about 40 minutes in like how are we in ending act one and we have more to go so I was really impressed that it stayed so aggressive and stayed so malicious like it's a mean-spirited movie but the mean-spiritedness doesn't always land well for me a lot of times movies that are mean-spirited I don't enjoy because I'm like why would I why would I do that to myself this I love that it was really really mean but just the last 10 minutes there's so much beauty in that sacrifice there's so much beauty in their love and like even though the
Starting point is 00:10:21 movie is like, screw you, it still, it still lands in a way that- Screw you audience. Why are you enjoying this? What have you done? Yeah, so I got a lot out of it. And I really liked that it was very visceral. Yeah, I usually don't. Well, yeah, I mean, I think that's, those are some of the greatest strengths the movie
Starting point is 00:10:40 holds. And I guess that's kind of where, if I'm torn on anything, because, yeah, like, you know, I agree. I think it's nice to have a movie that is immediate, again, that is kind of confined to circumstances where we don't have to cut to like a lot of like oh here's a flashback or something yeah to explain their lost relationship like yeah i i appreciate the the way this movie is operating most certainly and i liked again the mood and the characters and whatnot uh and for me it's yeah i think as a person who watches more of this kind of movie specifically without you know
Starting point is 00:11:15 the comic book tie-in or whatever like this is the kind of thing where i'm like okay cool i've seen a number of very immediate movies that, you know, kind of use their confined circumstances as, you know, sort of the whole aesthetic. And, uh, and so, yeah, it's like, if I, if I crave any more me, it's kind of just because of that, but it didn't, like, ruin the experience. Yeah, and like, your exposure, the type of film is going to have you seeking maybe more variety within those parameters that you are more familiar with, whereas, like, this is very different for me. So I was just overwhelmed. Um, yeah. And I love, like, I mean, Ben Foster's performance was insane, but I love that everyone
Starting point is 00:11:50 was strong enough that you, you know, you had those attachments, you had those connections, you had like those moments, but the movie didn't have to make you want to have a backstory. Like, I didn't need to know any more about Mark Boone's character. Yeah, I didn't, I didn't either. I would agree with that. It's like, I don't feel like we need to know much
Starting point is 00:12:06 in terms of like, yeah, like deep dive in the character, because the point is the immediacy of the situation. And I'll pick apart shit and other types of movies that don't do that. I'll be like, okay, well, we could have, why didn't we? And this one, I was like, thank you for not. to be partnering with a brand I've been using for nearly two years now, and that's Harry's Razors. I'm generally more drawn to anything that goes against the norm, and Harry's does just
Starting point is 00:12:27 that in the grooming world. They saw the high prices in the industry and decided to blaze their own trail with quality and affordability. I keep a beer, but whenever you see these cheeks in the neck clean, and that's the work of Harry's right there. Keeps my wife happy and Harris makes it effortless.

Again, they offer top quality, thoughtfully designed grooming products, including shampoo, conditioner, and amazing body wash without the premium price. Quality affordability.

Yeah, I think the only thing that maybe I would have, and again, I'm torn, it's good, because Like each point I come up with a counterpoint of your own. Yeah, it's sort of like part of me goes, okay, so the most interesting thing about this movie,
Starting point is 00:15:58 the hook of the movie is the premise that you're stuck in a place where the sun will not shine, will not be out, you know, won't be visible from your vantage for a whole ass month. And like, that's a great setup. And then you have these vampires that are so, again, feral and animalistic. and they were almost reminding me of like I am legend or something in a way because they have their own language and their creature like but they're sort of humanoid they almost feel like halfway between
Starting point is 00:16:28 and I like these little glimpses we got of you know you get just these tiny little slivers of like what their world is like and what their society is like with a couple lines yeah the fact that yeah it's like oh you know we spent so long convincing everybody that we are you know folklore that we're the stuff of nightmares
Starting point is 00:16:47 that we're not real, that were some kind of fantasy and we can't let this get out. And, like, that stuff I thought was quite interesting. And then you start to realize, like, oh, okay, you know, every year, I guess, these vampires must migrate to another, you know, isolated, locked off town and do this again. So there were just things about the lore
Starting point is 00:17:06 that it was making me wonder about and then making me go, damn, this seems like a unique take on vampires themselves. And now I'm torn as to whether I want a deeper dive into that or as to whether like it's very effective just letting you wonder about these things
Starting point is 00:17:21 and you have Ben Foster who is like you're like what is this guy I guess he must just be like a familiar or something he's called the stranger in the credits which I really dug because he was
Starting point is 00:17:29 he was just a stranger to the town and he just like ruined lives yeah I like that we didn't know anything like his accent was the character development like you know what I mean just that drippy it was like sometimes it had appellation elements
Starting point is 00:17:41 sometimes it was just so it just sounded like scary like in an unnerving way. It sounded like disconcerting no matter what he had to say. Yeah, I was like, ah. The whole thing about him was off. And yeah, like, what a great hook. What a great presence. I really liked, especially
Starting point is 00:17:56 like the mounting of everything. There were times in the middle where I was like, okay, we're kind of on a repeat cycle of like, all right, we're hiding out, and then we move over here. And then we cut to Danny Houston, and he's got his vacant look thing going on, and then he's going to do something crazy,
Starting point is 00:18:12 or there's going to be like a gorse set piece, and then we're going to move again to A similar place. Yeah, next place. And then we're hiding out. And then we got to move again. And then, and so there were times when I would be like, okay, so how are they, how are they persisting as long? I feel like the only, if I have one actual gripe, it is that they survive this month.
Starting point is 00:18:32 But a lot of the survival happens through editing. It's like, I don't disagree. At one point, I thought like, okay, day one through seven is very similar to day seven through 16 or whatever the next. And then you cut to like, we're on the last day. And I was bothered by that until. I realized, like, my back hurts. Like, I realized, like, I was so tense that I didn't mind because I wouldn't want them to interrupt that flow to give me more because of the reaction.
Starting point is 00:18:56 So, like, the juice was worth the squeeze that I don't want to go back and think about, like, the nuance of what I would have done differently. Because I liked that I was like, good God. Yeah, and I think that's the thing is, like, the more wrapped up you are in just the immediacy of the moment, I think, the better this movie plays. I like that the director looks like one of the vampires. I know. He's just a straight mean mugging over here.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Look at that guy's face. He's so, and that's a compliment. He looks so intense. And I'm like, oh, he did hard candy. This is after hard candy and this is before Twilight eclipse. What a trajectory. So he got his bag on Twilight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:31 And what's he been doing since? Yeah. And he's been doing it. Oh, he did a director of Breaking Bad episode. He did a Breaking Bad episode. So he's good. Well, deserved. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:37 So Twilight was his money. Then he did Breaking Bad to like go back to his roots. He's done a lot of telly. He's done a lot of telly since then. He directed power. Two episodes of Powers? That was a Brian Michael Bendis adaptation, a comic that was on the PlayStation Network. So it never had a chance to do much because it was on a network no one had.
Starting point is 00:19:55 This was literally... If you had PlayStation Network, you know, just... Yeah, if you're a PSN, but literally 2015 before streaming was what it was, there was a network on the PlayStation. And this was a giant, like, $100 million budget show that no one got to see. What's his name was on? It had a great cast. It was Neil Blomkames guy. Oh, Charlton Coppenter?
Starting point is 00:20:13 Cholto Copley's on a Brian Michael Bendish show that no one saw. Damn. Crazy. Who was the girl? I think you opened up Melissa George. Yeah. I was also going to ask just what the comic.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Home and away, so she's an Australian. That's like the soap opera. Everybody from Australia launches from. Yeah, yeah. Heath Ledger was on Home and Away. That's like the CSI of Australia, where like every actor is on an episode of like procedural here. Everyone in Australia is home and away.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Everyone in Britain's on Doctor Who. run home and away. Hell's yeah. Let's see. And she's a lot of TV. Light of me. She's good at dialogue. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Yeah, I didn't recognize a lot of the cast, which I also kind of enjoyed to like, they're all that. They're all faces you've seen, but you probably couldn't name. Yeah. Mark Boone, I love popping up and stuff. What's a man who Bennett?
Starting point is 00:21:01 I know his name. Yeah. That was driving me nuts. I was going to ask what the book itself is like. Oh, dude, look up like imagery after men who. Oh, that's ready with Deathstroke. Yeah, it's okay. Oh, and he was.
Starting point is 00:21:12 A Zog. Yeah. who's the evil guy in Hobbit Azog the defiler he's like the main villain Damn Yeah look up the comic I want you to see the imagery It's pretty dope all right But is it is it pretty similar in terms of
Starting point is 00:21:27 Oh yeah it's very black and white leaning You know there's a lot of contrast It's got a lot of like really aggressive linework Stephen Niles wrote it so it's really cool to see that he got First screenplay screen play credit on this Okay yeah I mean look at the cover And that's the thing, too, is I think if you have the knowledge of the book, it's got to be pretty gratifying to see the imagery brought to life the way it is here. They did such a good, oh, it's a webcomic, the new one.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Because even getting just like little glimpses here. See, that's what I'm used to that imagery here. It definitely, yeah, it definitely looks like those swirling snow plumes and, yeah, like the shocks of red. Hyper-aggressive line work. Yeah, and I really liked, you know, the mood of the cinematography and the contrasts with the colors and everything and the blood and all that. and yeah like again i think that's i think that we're we're mainly in agreement in terms of yeah i think it's like a b plus a minus uh for me as a movie i go like a b like yeah it's like it's there are a couple things that could push it further into like a territory for me but uh in terms of
Starting point is 00:22:30 yeah just like what do you expect to get from a movie like this and and and what is you know it trying to adapt you know i i definitely had a good like fun punchy time with this i'm so tired that's how I know I liked it because I'm like so affected and like broken and Josh Hartnett again we talked to the top like he is one of those actors I think doesn't get the credit he deserves because he started he came out of the gate with like 10 movies and like he literally was turning down Superman within like his first two years in LA so I think there was an
Starting point is 00:23:00 element of oh this guy's everywhere and I think people like don't like that I think a lot of times people are like oh this guy's too much and I know some actors actually like people I know take a couple years off to get out of the limelight so they don't like overwear their exposure so that way people don't have that reaction. So I feel like Josh Hartnett taking a couple years off coming back with a Nolan film and doing like, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:19 a few things after that show he did that horror show. I think it was really smart of him to kind of pace his career, but I've always been a huge heart net fan. I'm really glad like, I mean Hollywood Homestead was like his fifth thing. It was opposite Harrison Ford. Like what a damn. Right. Like you come out the gate at 20 and you're just like, by the way, I'm a movie star.
Starting point is 00:23:36 And like, to do a buddy cop with Harrison Ford like at the, at the jump, like crazy. yeah um god good for heart and i saw i'm hiking once he's good he's a good day see as tall as he looks he is as tall as he looks he's got that from my recollection yeah i can't find out who the lady vampire was he looks like she played the nun but anyway she did definitely look like it also they did a really cool job with the snake image like that i've always thought the uh vampires in 30 days and i did this very snake like Voldemorty angular and they did a really good job of like replicating that yeah man see if you said that on the
Starting point is 00:24:10 left there scroll down slightly uh second row see yeah see that like imagery in the left see it kind of has that energy of like the snakeiness yeah go google some 30 days of night comic cells just just to fill in this part of the yeah sorry guys to fill in the visual portion it's only page one on google if you take 30 days of nights comics so you'll see all this stuff it was an idw comic so it's interesting that dark horse helped them produce the film i got to look into how that collaboration worked out yeah um but yeah i had a really great time it's not like an a a a a for me but b plus a minus just my experience during the film and the acting I thought was strong. As a super immediate like exploitation film with a comic book vibe and a cool hook, yeah, I think
Starting point is 00:24:49 they did a nice job. Like, yeah, like I said, you know, there are ways in which it could be richer for me. There are ways in which, you know, you could have added maybe a little bit more to the script to really elevate some of the elements of the direction or you could have done a couple other things with the direction to maybe make up for those gaps. But for the most part, like I said, I mean, you saw the reaction. having a blast watching this. So, yeah, like, when I want something lean, mean and straight to the point, like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:16 this is something to read for. You know what I just realized in this moment? The guy that looks like Dave Batista. His head was kind of like a shark's fin. It was. My hat is the number one comment of the DPC video. We opened that video with, like, I've never seen this. I only know this song lyric.
Starting point is 00:25:32 And the audience was, like, someone was so bad that I had got the song learned wrong. But, like, why would I know if I only know from a lyric? It makes more sense as a hat. Yeah. But I'm guessing it's one of his hat sideways. It's like a fin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like a beanie.
Starting point is 00:25:49 He squishes the beanie vertically. And then it's like a shark spin. Yeah. Guys, LL, specifically, if you're watching this. That's the only thing this movie needed. Please, if L.O. Cool J would have just... That's the A we were looking for. The level up.
Starting point is 00:26:02 But yeah, this is an absolute blast. Let us know in the comments. Let us know in the comments. Is there anything else you want us to watch? I personally would prefer not more. horror, as you may guess. That was a lot for me. Forced us to watch horror.
Starting point is 00:26:13 There's a few comic book movies I actually haven't seen. I'm going to go through and see if there's anything that is coming on an anniversary or something. Because I realize there are like a couple of lead extradinary gentlemen like things we've done. I've never seen LXG. I've avoided it out of respect for Sean Connery's career because he
Starting point is 00:26:29 chose that instead of Gandalf. Did you know this? No. He didn't want to sign on for like a ton of movies so his retirement instead of doing Lord of the Rings, and they were offering him something like 10% at the back end. He would be up there with Matt Damon
Starting point is 00:26:44 if he had done Avatar as the two most successful actors of all time, and they both turned down those roles. I can't imagine this. Back end on Avatar turned down by Damon, back in on Lord of the Rings, turned down my Sean Connery. So I've never seen Alex G out of a sense of pain for the Scotsman. All right, that is going to
Starting point is 00:27:00 do it to Lovellies. Please leave a comment below. Let us know what role you turned down worth billions of dollars.
