we definitely watched the wrong movie we did we absolutely watched what did we watch what did we watch
we watched you guys we watched a nightmare on elm street we watched a nightmare on elm street
2010 oh my god he's going to absolutely kill us
Oh, you can't be sexy until you're British?
Right.
All righty, then I understand the assignment.
Shall we or shall we not watch a nightmare on Elm Street 5, dream catcher?
No, how to catch the dream child?
The cold dream catcher.
No, but she wants the child to be caught in a catcher to get away from Freddy.
Take two.
Shall we or shall we not watch a nightmare on the street 5, a dream child?
No, that's not it.
Sure.
Take three.
Shall we, shall we not watch the nightmare at Elm Street.
The 20-10 reboot.
Woo! Baby, she did it.
Thank you so much.
She did it.
Shall we?
Yeah.
Here we go.
Now we've rewinded a little bit to the credit.
Dream, dream, dream, dream.
Just so you know where we're at.
We're singing it for you.
Not again.
Oh my God.
Click it, click it, click, click, click.
Oh, my God, I'm dying.
Ruby.
Ray, you had it.
I did get it. Yes.
Thank God.
otherwise, I don't know if she would come back from.
Where did I pull it from?
You did, you.
From the depths of somewhere.
It only took you five hours.
You know when you think one name and you're like, that's not who it is, that's not it is, but I got to Rooney Mara.
I can't believe he did that because.
Can you believe I pulled Rooney Mara?
No, because when I'm under pressure.
She's actually unbelievably famous and I can't believe I couldn't pull her, but then I did.
When I'm under pressure trying to find something, there's no way I'm going to find it.
Okay, let's chat.
You dug deep.
You found it.
My partner in crime.
Yeah, my fellow horror horror, my scream queen, my she-jacked.
Yeah.
That was a lot.
That was a lot.
And I really got to hear your thoughts on this.
So that was our fifth nightmare announcement free movie.
It was by far away the most different least connected.
Yeah.
Seemingly, at least on first viewer, viewing.
Right.
What did you make of that?
I mean, I, when it was, okay.
In the beginning, it was like, telephone when we were like,
wait are we we were trying to find the connections let that go there was more jump scares at least
for me in this like i was legitimately scared i think like five times so i appreciated that i i again it's on
its own i did miss the red and green lighting in the in the boiler room that they used like
in different aspects of all the other movies they had always a red and light red and green light in
there and they used a lot of orange in this. That's fine. The shots look great. I really liked all of the
actors. They were all really believable. There was no one that was over the top, no one that I didn't
believe. The only kind of thing that bug me, like I said in the beginning, was the CGI stuff,
except for when she falls through the roof and that blood comes out. You have to do CG. That looked
amazing. The CGI with the wall, I'm like, I wish they would have went practical. But,
And at the end, I'm like, that would have been dope if there was a way they could do practical with Connie Britton and like an eye thing coming through.
I know it's like it's easier to do CGI.
But I did like this story a lot, but I did remember, we both remembered like her flying around the room.
But I did make that comment in movie two, three, four.
I was like, I wish they would have used like maybe taking some inspiration flying her around the room instead of what whatever they did in the other past ones, which was a little.
more underwhelming.
Yeah.
I like that they called back
a lot of the stuff.
I knew when she went in the hospital,
she didn't say,
don't give me the drugs,
stuff like that that I could see coming.
But I still really liked
the way that they did that.
And I especially liked,
I didn't like it in the moment,
how they dug deep into his character.
We finally got to see him be killed.
And I really like that.
And also the fact that we saw him,
the way they timed that up,
that we see him be killed and go,
I'm not, I'm innocent.
We both were like, wait, do you think he might be innocent, might be guilty?
Interesting spot to then reveal, oh, he's definitely guilty after that.
Kind of keeps the audience guessing, which I appreciated, because it did for a moment go,
wait, is he innocent?
And Freddie might be just like in this weird guy.
But I really like that we finally got to see how the parents killed him, that he's burned
alive.
I appreciate that because we dug deep into him being a pedified.
which was so ugly and terrifying.
I freaking hated it.
And I was like, if we don't get to see him die of violent death
and they re-burn him all over again,
I'm going to be mad because I hate this character.
And I'm glad that we got the vengeance.
And that made me really happy.
Yeah, I'm definitely with you on that.
This movie majorly required me to get out of my own damn way.
Yeah.
Because I got to tell you, for the first,
the movie was like a 90-minute movie.
for the first 40 minutes.
Yeah.
I was like, not my nightmare on Elm Street.
Right.
Nancy.
We were mad about it.
Yeah.
That's not my Nancy.
That's not my Freddie.
No.
I don't know who you are Nancy and Freddie,
but you're not my Nancy and Freddie.
And I felt like weird fandom possessive over the OG nightmare on Elm Street where I was like,
what's this?
Agreed.
Who's this?
What's this?
And then once I stopped trying to like figure out.
and make connections like did they name her after Nancy because Nancy once I just was like wait this is a what if this was the first movie in the franchise would I like it yeah and the truth is yeah yeah this did a great job of setting up a world it didn't it paid homage to our previous worlds but it didn't build upon them in the way that the previous ones have right one two three and four build build build five was like um actually we are a nightmare in elm street movie
but we are our own movie and this is why like this would be a cool place for younger generations
to have started to reconnect with it absolutely and then you can go back and see where it comes from
but i'm not saying this is better than the original because the original is the best yeah but this is
actually now i think my second favorite movie in the franchise wow because i think they did such
a great job like you said with the cast yeah and reimagining this now no comparison to robert
English. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. We're both mad about that. But I don't know
whether it's because he didn't want to do it, whether he was older, whether he was not around
for it. I don't know. If it's that they wouldn't pay him enough, that's silly. But this was
a major, this was a reboot. So they were recasting every character. Yeah. I don't know if that's how
they actually identify this, but that's how I would identify this as a total reboot. I loved this. I
love the premise, I love the actors, I love that I pulled Rooney Mara, I love Katie Cassidy,
I thought the chemistry in here was great, I thought the ending was great, I was nervous that
we were going to go too vulgar in terms of, I don't like, see, like, I feel like torture
porn is too much in movies, and the way that nowadays we just like show it for a horror
effect, it's just too much. So I'm glad we didn't see the images of the kid in the photos.
Me too. I'm glad we didn't see something bad happened to Rooney Mara here as he's putting
his finger down or dress that didn't escalate quicker and get worse.
I think that they showed the right amount for us to hate his guts, but not to feel like
they were doing it out of enjoyment, you know?
Yeah, I really think that at first I was like, that's tough dialogue, that's tough
with the, I want to call it ASMR, with the ADR, like tough, some tough things.
There was some, yeah.
Where I felt nitpicky.
And then I was just like, Roxy, shut up.
You know, does that ever happen to you or something?
Yeah, totally.
Because we're just overly aware of it.
Like, I mean, we've been calling, we call ADR out in most of the movies we watch it, especially
if we're like, we can really recognize it.
But it's just, we've watched so many movies.
So, yeah.
And then eventually, like we said, once we let the idea that it's a complete reboot, is this
the same Nancy?
And once we let that go, we're like, just let it be.
Yeah.
Let it be.
then that was easier.
It was also a good, a good, like, let it be with, without Robert, England.
Let it be.
Let it be.
See, you said England and then let it be and then.
And it was supposed to be, let it go.
No, but let it be and England.
Oh, right.
Right, right, right.
I was on the right track.
Let me tell you some things about this movie.
Well, I'm first of all super curious.
Do you think people like this?
Because we haven't heard anything about this.
So I'm guessing people didn't, but then I feel that's still.
But see, here's what I think.
There wasn't enough of a young crowd to go,
why am I going to watch number five of a nightmare on Elm Street?
I'm not going to go see that because they haven't seen the rest,
not knowing that this is a complete reboot that's like kind of modernized.
I don't know that it calls it that.
It probably doesn't, but come on, ma'am,
we're seeing a lot of the wall, the her moving around the room, no drugs.
Like, it's, there's a lot of, in the bathtub.
All that is all the same.
and I just think that kids probably were like,
I'm not going to go see five.
I don't even know what Nightmare on Elm Street is.
All right.
So let's take a look at this.
Wow.
That fans were older.
A Nightmare and Elm Street 5.
Guess what year or this came out?
I think it said two, it came out in two, I don't,
I think on the screen it said 2000 something.
Yeah, this can't be right.
Tell me what this says so that I don't feel crazy.
1889 there's no way no no no no nightmare in elm street 5 a child child it says no i disagree
that's wrong yeah i mean katy cassidy wouldn't have been the let's see when this actually came out but before
i do that yeah on the rotten tomato meter this is 31% whoa what's the audience score 31 also wow
see i that's what was my my last point was just if you're if you're horror fans of this entire
and you get to this movie, you're like, why are you messing and using all the same shots from
the first one?
I still think it's a good movie, but they're probably, and like us, we love Robert England.
I know, I'm probably saying it wrong, but to see the new, we, that took me 30 to 45 minutes
to get over.
I was mad about it.
I was like, why are you recasting?
I'm not understanding how everywhere I looked this up, it's saying that it came out in 1989.
when did the first the first when did nightmare on four come out there's no way no
of course not katy cassie all these people were anymore they couldn't have been they wouldn't
have been that age 1988 was four i need to be able to use the google when was it
nineteen eighty seven they're doing a weird thing no no no no they're saying that it came out
1987 was three 1988 was four and five was 1989 i'm like in 1989 we didn't
have Nokia phones, yo? Like, that's wrong. That's what I'm saying. That's absolutely wrong.
Okay. Go to the IMDB. I am. Okay. I'm mad about it. I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't
understand. That's wrong. There's no way. It's saying it's right. Oh, my. There's no way, dude.
Those, those actors were not that age in 1989. It also says the top bill person in this is
Robert England. So I don't agree. Did we? Oh, it's a.
audio book that came out in 89 oh that's what they're getting we're getting it mixed up with to put in all
that movie yeah but this is iMdb but but oh this is going to kill us both this don't this is there's
no what is happening nightmare on elm street five movie movie
What is wrong with me right now?
I actually can't move forward.
It won't stop saying that, but I disagree.
This is all wrong.
What's wrong with the Google machine?
It also is saying it was Stephen Hopkins who directed this, and that is not what we just
watched.
What are we missing?
Did we watch the wrong movie?
Did we watch the wrong freaking movie?
Truly what's happening right now.
Did we watch like, hold on six.
six when did six come out i'm gonna go to katy cassidy i'm gonna scroll till i find a nightmare movie
and then i wouldn't see okay in 2010 katy cassidy was a movie called the nightmare on elm street we
definitely watched the wrong movie we did we absolutely watched what did we watch
we watched you guys we watched a nightmare on elm street we watched a nightmare on elm street
Oh, Greg's going to kill us.
Oh, my God.
He's going to absolutely kill us.
We got to get out of you.
How did I?
Reject Nation, when I heard that this company wanted to partner up with us yet again,
I was so enthusiastic about it.
Reason being, I had already been using their product for well over a year by the point we first ever collaborated with them.
So the fact that we get to have this ongoing partnership just makes me a happy camper.
And that is, of course, for the app, Rocket Money.
Now, if you guys don't know what Rocket Money is, don't worry, I got you covered.
I'll tell you about them in just a little bit.
But before that, I wanted to share with you guys why I love this app so much.
It's actually a very personal reason.
You see, like many of you guys, I too grew up in a home where money did not come easily, needless to say.
The predominant conversation in my family household was undoubtedly about financial struggle, financial worry.
And that does a number on you.
So it certainly seeped into my adulthood when I was trying to learn how to become financially
independent. And to this day, as someone who talks a lot about working as mental health,
who's proudly going to therapy, no matter how much lack we might have in money one day
or how much success we might have in money sometimes, I still have to have this ongoing
conversation about my relationship with money. I'm half Filipinos. My mom's always talking to me
about taxes to this day. I think, though, it does start with how you manage the finances you
currently have. See, before I ever acquired any type of reasonable living money, I heard someone
speak about how you have to learn what to do with a dollar now. Essentially, the talk was about
don't wait until you have like a bunch of money and then start figuring out what to do with it
afterwards, like you got a bunch of toys to play with. If you want to acquire more in life,
you have to first figure out what you're going to do with what you currently have. And that's why
I love this app. It's applicable for any financial stage you are at in life. Come to think about it,
it would have been very beneficial for me when I was in a real struggle boat years ago.
So, in summary, as someone who is constantly having an ongoing working relationship with
how to handle money, rocket money has helped make that relationship a lot healthier in my life.
So what are they, if you don't know what they are?
What they are is a personal finance app that simplifies managing money by canceling
unnecessary subscriptions, lowering your bills, and crafting a budget that fits your specific lifestyle.
I'm telling you, Reject Nation, there's no greater feeling than when you look at the following month
then you see that, oh my God, I have saved money.
I've spent less, and progress equals happiness.
The best part is rocket money does a lot of the heavy lifting by analyzing your spending,
then customizes notifications to stay within your budget goals.
It's not just about saving money.
It's about actively seeing and feeling your financial progress.
And one of my favorite qualities about their service, too, is when it comes to monthly subscriptions.
We've been blessed to be able to expand the team and hire more people,
but with that in mind, that also comes with a lot more expenses.
So as this business has been growing, having to track exuberant amount more has been just as important.
So now I have to track a lot of these business expenses, then I've got to track my own personal finances.
So in general, it's already been helping out a lot with that.
But as you want to make things more efficient, you often find yourself signing up for a lot of apps for free trials that you quickly forget about.
Next thing you know, you're paying a hefty fine for it.
I'm sure, even if you don't have a YouTube channel, there's some way you can relate with that.
You see, because they track your monthly subscriptions.
and they make it super easy to cancel the ones you do not use.
A couple of clicks, and you're putting money back into your pocket.
So if you're like me, you found hidden subscriptions or pay for services that you totally forgot about.
Rocket money was a lifesaver in uncovering those and even negotiated some of my bills to about, like I'd say, down by 20%.
So if you want to join me on this journey of consistently taking care of your finances, do not want to start later.
The best time is to start right now.
So please do yourself a favor.
rocket money and see how much you too can be saving. That way you can stop wasting money on things
you don't use. Believe me, when it came to my accountant and tax season, that was a really big note.
Visit rocketmoney.com slash rejects. They've helped me and I'm confident they'll do the same for you.
That's rocketmoney.com slash rejects. Your wallet will thank you. Because Rocket Money has over
five million users and has saved a total of $500 million and canceled subscriptions, saving members up to
$740 a year when using all of the app's features.
So a great way to support your lifestyle and a great way to support the channel is by going
and downloading the Rocket Money app yourself.
And if it does help you, please go ahead, draw me a message.
I'd love to hear if there's some way by just conveying this message, it has helped you out
too.
Thank you, Reject Nation.
Did I, you saw me click the child one.
You saw me go to it.
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.
God, you saw me, click this.
What are we going to do?
Look how I go to it.
What are we going to do?
Oh, my God.
I'm having a meltdown.
I'm having a meltdown.
Okay.
All right.
So here's the deal, people.
We're human.
This is how I started the video.
I said, we can do no wrong.
Oh my God.
You guys, we watch the wrong movie.
It's fine.
Listen.
We're going to have to go back.
We're going to have to listen.
I don't know how we go about it.
Here's what's going to happen.
In two days, we're going to figure it out in our schedule and we're going to actually click five.
He has the footage for the 2010 one that we just watched and you'll see a hilarious blooper about how, yeah, we watched that.
But luckily, it had nothing to do with five.
Wait, so what happens?
You guys, I swear to God, I clicked five.
I was like, it's so weird that's called Dream Child.
I was like, this is a complete reboot, dude.
I'm sorry.
Oh my God.
I clicked it.
I felt,
I feel so vindicated because I, did I not say like five times?
I'm like, what is it happening?
Literally, look how play is like it's grayed out on here.
I'm taking the freaking video.
Okay, he's, I asked Greg to come out here.
Greg, we majorly.
It's literally grayed out.
I clicked it.
Okay, hold on.
Let me explain them what happened.
Explain him.
We finished the movie.
She had clicked on this movie.
It played.
We just watched to.
2010, A Nightmare on Elm Street.
And we're trying to look up facts and we're like, this did not come out in 1989.
We're yelling about like, I did you watch the night, a nightmare on Elm Street, 2010.
But look how this.
I know.
You got it.
You mean it was a brand new.
Yeah, I said this seems like a reboot.
We kept saying it's a reboot.
Like what?
This has got to happen.
I know.
And we're like, Greg is going to freaking kill us.
But here's what we'll do.
in any day in the next day
we can work out of schedule
and we'll do five I swear to God
look how it's great out I was really
you guys went the whole movie without
I said 50 times this feels like a reboot
I'm super confused why is this five
why is a dream child Nancy why are their names that way
like for real okay
here's how I think we make it work
we we we maybe use
we use that as like a blooper we watch five and then be like here's do an intro now saying
i don't know what to do before we cut i wanted to know what i don't know what to do oh my god we just
redo the entry the entry no because throughout we make so many comments dude we make so many
comments oh like this feels like a but we need to say okay we need to say right now i said at one point
i wish i know he's gonna kill me okay first of all i am not one to throw somebody under the bus but
This is terrible.
This is my fault.
No, it is absolutely, y'all.
But I should have picked up on it.
I clicked, I swear to God, I clicked the play,
and then I moved, probably moved the screen,
and it went to a different freaking film,
and y'all didn't notice it.
And it's my fault.
The best part of the thing is, Greg,
is I start the video by saying,
we are the best we can do no wrong.
Everyone loves us.
No one can bring us down.
We did so much wrong,
and it is absolutely my fault.
And I love you guys,
but that now that's the blooper, that's a back, the stage, behind the screen.
We messed up.
I messed up.
That's what happened.
So maybe it'll be funny for y'all.
Okay.
Listen, we already spoke.
We love the movie.
We're going to watch five.
Now we have to just end the reaction, too, which we didn't.
Which we didn't.
Because during.
Wait, so you guys didn't end the video?
We did.
We started looking up trivia.
We were in the middle of the video.
Did she realize in the middle of looking up that you guys watched the wrong movie?
Correct.
And is that on?
camera
yes
then just
let it end
yeah
I mean we let it end
we love you
we love you
we'll see you
we just forgive us
for everything
that's bad
bye
see how like I must have
went
if this wasn't
you guys
