With IT: ...Welcome to Derry on the way + The Life of Chuck out now & The Long Walk coming in September, Coy & Roxy give their Carrie Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Coy Jandreau & Roxy Striar as they dive into Brian De Palma’s chilling 1976 adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, where shy high‐schooler Carrie White (Sissy Spacek, Coal Miner’s Daughter, Badlands) discovers her hidden telekinetic powers after years of torment. Raised by her fanatically religious mother Margaret White (Piper Laurie, The Hustler, Children of a Lesser God), Carrie endures cruel bullying from classmates—and a humiliating prank in the girls’ locker room—that pushes her abilities to the breaking point. Coy & Rox break down every unforgettable moment—from Carrie’s first telekinetic outburst in the locker room to the iconic prom scene where sheep’s blood “pours down” on Carrie and her powerful revenge unfolds. They’ll dissect the slow‐burn suspense of the white‐washed house finale, the surreal use of split‐screen during Carrie’s rampage, and Piper Laurie’s Oscar‐nominated performance as the deranged mother hook that anchors the film’s horror.

When the frustration grows and the doubts start to creep in,
we all need someone who has our back.
To tell us, we'll be okay,
to remind us of our ability, to believe,
because their belief in us transfers to self-belief
and reminds us of all that we're capable of.
We all need someone to make us believe.
Hashtag, you got this.
Stop.
Do you know how fast you were going?
I'm going to have to write you a ticket to my new movie,
The Naked Gun.

The frowice at its
summit.
Coors Light, you've been a fraud.
Celebrate in a fashion responsible.
You have to have the age legal
for consuming the alcohol.
Thank you to Liquid Ivy
for sponsoring this video.
More on them in just a bit.
Without further ado, let's get scary.
Scary, Carrie.
Three, two, one.
Carrie.
Woo!
You know, some classics are classic for a reason.
Irving, that was...
Man, that was good.
Carrie.
I can't believe that.
No, it's the other one.
Yeah, but turn the other one back up because...
Yep.
Carry.
Carrie, Carrie.
That was incredible.
Yeah.
I'm a little overwhelmed.
Yeah, I mean.
I got so scared.
I got actually so jump scared by the hand.
That got me so I cannot.
This is one of the first reactions.
I'm like,
I can't wait to see that because I got so scared.
Yeah.
I was so,
it was scary,
but like I was processing so much that I can't even believe that movie.
That was crazy.
Every scene surprised.
That was crazy.
And I knew the image of a third act moment.
Like it wasn't the end because we didn't know where it was going to go after.
But we both knew where something had to land.
And it was still surprising every seat.
That was crazy.
That was such a great movie.
I'm so impressed.
Me too.
Me too.
Incredible.
Well, if you're just joining us on audio, we just watched Carrie for the very first time.
As is our new tradition, we're going to answer some questions off the top.
But before we get to that, I want to thank the wonderful folks.
at Prepper, without whom this could
certainly not exist online.
That was a hell of a thing
and so intense.
So yeah, this could not be on YouTube
without Prepper's very diligent work.
So thank you, Prepper. Also, please like, subscribe.
Comments, let us know if there's
any other classic horror we should watch because that was
that was amazing. That was fantastic.
Unreal, dude.
All right. Let's kick it off with,
we'll talk about the review after we answer these
questions from patrons. Thank you patrons, as always
for keeping us afloat, but also sending
in your questions.
Sanrak asks,
where does Carrie rank
among the King adaptations?
If either of you
haven't seen enough to judge,
which adaptations
would you want to watch
on the channel next?
I'd have to look up
what are all the King
adaptations that I've seen.
I've seen Dream Catcher.
I have seen...
Do I even have a phone?
I don't know.
Stephen King.
Where am I and who am I?
I've missed a lot of them.
I have no phone.
You had a phone to start.
I don't know.
It sits out here in these streets.
Tell us all the kids.
I'm a big, big fan
of... Just tell us all of them. All of them?
It's going to take hours. Let me see. There's so many.
There's literally scrolling. Oh, these can't be
all. Those are all Stephen King. He's very prolific.
Okay. All right. I'm just
going to start. Stand by me as
a Stephen King adaptation. He read Stromas too.
See, she's out here not trusting. No.
Shawshank Redemption is a King
adaptation. He's a very prolific writer. Stephen King.
Those are all, I know
both of those are Stephen King. I do
weird stuff. That's true.
I don't, I used Google because I don't use AI,
not a monster. I'm not a Stephen King. That's what
this is. This isn't? The top thing
on Google is always AI now. I will go to the bottom because I
ignore that so my algorithm doesn't go to
AI. Skip down. You're at the top.
No, but this is image church.
Let's go to Wikipedia.
Let's look at a, let's look at an adaptation.
List. Okay. List of adaptations are
Stephen King. I can trust that. Tell us.
Okay. We can trust Wikipedia.
Better than AI.
You're right. Okay. Stephen King,

the ones that Stephen King
is directly involved with
actually doing.

Okay.
So I've seen only of those
the only one I've seen is it.
Same.
Okay.
And then I want to see thinner.
I want to see Pet Cemetery.
I want to see Maximum overdrive.
These are all the ones
based on his books.
1976.
Carrie.
So this is the first adaptation
of any of his books?
It is the first one
that it was just adapted
without his involvement.
So there's two categories
with Stephen King.
But you said 76 is before 82.
Good call.
Yeah, that's crazy.
It's so good.
The math.
The math.
Look at you.
No one dates.
76, Carrie.
80, the Shining, which I love.
Yeah.
I love the shining and Dr. Sleep.

Nope.
I've not seen either of those.

No.
They're remaking it soon.
I watched it on the channel.
It's written under a pseudonym, Richard Bachman.
1990, Tales from the Dark Side of the movie.
Graveyard shift, misery.
I saw misery as a kid.
Yeah, I saw it as a kid that scared the crap in me, but I don't remember it.
I just remember, like, a slab hanger to a one.
Do you have so many that we could do a whole, Stephen Kingathon.
This is, if you guys, if you guys were on Stephen King's on.
Let's see.

2025, the long walk and the running man.
Okay, so I haven't seen almost any of his...
I've seen like three.
Yeah, me too.
The best of his movies to me is of the ones that I've seen,
of the five that I've seen is Shawshank.
This was so good, though.
It, the mist, this shining are all great.
where do you think this
between this and the shining do you feel like
I like this a little more than the shining really
and I haven't seen it in so many years
that's the thing is I watched it when I was a kid
and was like sneaking in an all rated movie
but this just kept surprising me with each scene
being different and not knowing what was going to go
the fact that I knew some about it and it was still able to like
keep me on the edge of my toes
that was incredible I would love to do a whole
Stephen Kingathon with you
yeah which is so fun because
Samrax said which one do you want to watch next on the channel
Yeah, let's just do, like, it would be fun to do
chronological. You guys let us now. Because we just did the
first one. Even if we only do 10. But we just
did 76, so we could do the next big one
chronologically. Totally, but there's
80. There's like 80. Yeah. Okay, so if you guys
want that, let us know. That was a long question. So sorry,
great question, but we had to read.
Sci-fi extremist, is there a
horror film franchise that you think could continue
to be rebooted every new generation? It would
work because the story is so good. This one.
I think everyone has
trauma around high school, around puberty, around
how they're raised, around
feeling like people are judging you it's it it's common themes unfortunately so this one is
definitely that for me yeah this was really really good and definitely it suits itself to like you said
just the the premise of high school trauma somebody coming in and something going wrong that could
be rebooted um i think that the scream movies kind of don't miss through the generation so they
seem to have done a pretty good job with those so far i'd reboot the faculty because i think that's
timeless. Like, it's invasion of the body snatchers, but with teachers. And, like, that's very
like evergreen. Uh, Logan. Chuckie. I want more Chuckie, but I need the, but the reboot was
actually the least good one. Oh, that's unfortunate. Uh, Logan Nelson. Do I, and also, like,
the classic slashers, they go on forever because they're, like, we're scared of, you know,
someone with a knife. Like, we're just scared. Uh, Logan Nelson, do you have any adolescent
horror stories? Was high school this rough in perception or reality? Well, in reality, I think
a lot of people would be dead if high school's this rough. Uh, everybody but Sue. Yeah.
everybody but sue i did not have that what i'll let you answer first answer the last two first
do you have any adolescent horror stories so many um everybody has adolescent horror stories right
it was a dark time in our minds whether or not it was that dark is relative nobody gets out on
skates no nobody gets carried yeah so many was high school uh this rough no no i i mean i was like
i was a kid at every lunch table kind of guy i like i didn't have one group i had a lot of groups
I'm still friends with a few friends when I school which is pretty rare
But I definitely like I felt like an outsider trying to fit in
So I was friends with everyone a little bit because I didn't feel like I fit in every anywhere fully
So I was very much the kid that was like I'll sit here for 10 minutes
I'll go over there for 10 minutes. I'll go over there for 10 minutes and that like looking back was definitely me trying to like find my place
So I mean I got out but I feel much better about who I am now than who I was trying to be then
I was definitely an Abercrombie frosted tips guy when I was actually a nerd
Did you ever work there? I didn't work at Abercrombie
they asked me to because I worked out a lot
and I was like scared of not being good enough
like I remember that was like the pinnacle
of a cool job and I was like I'm not worthy of Abercrombie
but I worked in a movie theater
from the week of my 14th birthday until I was Twitter
and your mom worked out of the theater. Yeah yeah so
but like six years I worked at the theater that whole era
so cool Alan Smithy are you excited
for the Mike Flanagan Carrie TV show
I heard in the book Carrie is overweight and made fun of
for her appearance I have a hot take
I think her being traditionally attractive
made it more compelling
because I think that there is a element
of people that think that people
when they're attractive don't have
trauma or people judging them
and I think making her not overweight
was a very interesting take
if that is the case
as opposed to that being like
make fun of the fatty
I hear you on that
I would have to see because she was so pretty
I think that was interesting
she was so pretty but I don't know
that they think in the 70s that she was
like I couldn't tell whether
You know, she, whether this was like, she's all that, you take off the glasses and you're hot.
They lit her like they knew she was pretty.
But they also, she's not traditional.
She's not like the girl next door pretty.
She's like ethereal.
I don't know.
She was like conventionally gorgeous.
I thought she was like ethereal, like where it's like that kind of like goddess amongst us, but not like, you know, just magazine cover easy.
Oh, see, I did see her like that.
And I think it was brilliant casting because she was great.
But I'd be curious to find somebody who's like.
attractive but different attractive you know like um how a lot of super models are these days with like
interesting birth marks or like interesting teeth or something um because i think she she just she looked
like a like a true but i don't know i could see it either way and in the book maybe that makes
more sense too and you're reading it you understand why i think both work yeah both are great
mike flanagan's one of my favorites i think he's just an absolute brilliant creator i love him and uh kate
Siegel, his wife, I think
they're both brilliant, brilliant in the
horror space. I don't miss a live action
series of his. So now I feel
like I'll be better equipped. Yeah, I'm really glad
I saw this before that, because I love him and I would have seen
I would have seen it and then I would have known too much about this.
I didn't even know that was happening. I didn't either.
You just informed us, Alan Smithy, thank you.
Let's talk about the movie.
You go first. I've been talking a lot.
Oh, what do you want to know how I feel?
I assume. All right,
Reject Nation, Summers here in between
workouts filming traveling stain hydrated has never felt more important i actually get really excited to
talk about these guys because i use them every single day yes i've mentioned it in several videos
at the start of this year i weighed 218 i basically dropped about 42 pounds thus far starting
january 25th and if there's one thing i've learned during this entire fitness journey proper
hydration makes a huge difference and how you feel and how you perform it really does matter
And my go-to is the sponsor Liquid Ivy.
I'm just a very fortunate guy who gets to work with brands that I had already been using.
A lot of my diet consists of a lot of no sugar added, and this is their sugar-free hydration multiplier.
It's been great.
My go-to is the raspberry lemonade.
I've also tried their Arctic Raspberry, and that thing is clean, refreshing, no fake aftertaste.
There are definitely moments where I'm hit with fatigue or that midday slump.
I think you guys all know how that feels.
And genuinely, a lot of the time, a hydration boost like this does more to turn my energy
and moved around more than a caffeine or some stimulant.
One stick, 16 ounces of water.
It hydrates better than water alone.
Sometimes I mix it with my protein shakes as well.
They're powered by LIV hydra science,
which is the ultimate fancy way of saying.
It's a precise mix of electrolytes, essential vitamins, and nutrients.
You get three times the electrolytes of the leaving sports drink
and eight essential vitamins, all in a non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free formula.
So whether I'm post-workout mid-shoot or just running errands at a 90-degree heat in Los Angeles.
It's a bad boy keeps me going.
So no matter what summer brings, tear, poor, live more.

That's 20% off with code rejects at liquid iv.com.
Thank you again, Liquid Ivy for sponsoring this video and making my day-to-day so much better.
That was a crazy way to build suspense.
Yeah.
That was just really, truly wild.
Like, we just watched, when we were watching a movie,
I was sitting like this,
for a movie that wasn't that scary.
Yeah.
You know, like I've been doing almost every Thursday,
you guys see my face because I am doing all of the horror franchises.
And I do all of them because before I came here,
the first thing I ever reviewed for Real Rejects was Black Phone.
And I said to Greg, I don't watch a lot of horror movies.
He's like, great.
So we'll do the Black Phone.
I know you won't have seen it and you won't have a lot to compare it to.
my favorite recent
her movies.
It was amazing.
And I watched that
I was like,
that was amazing.
He was like,
okay,
let's try some more horror
thing.
And I started doing horror
stuff and I was just like,
oh, I like,
love this genre.
And I didn't know.
I love the horror genre.
So now it's been fast forward
two years and every single week
on this channel,
if not one,
but two times I watch a horror movie.
So now I've got a lot more
in my repertoire to kind of compare it to.
So usually now when I'm watching horror movies
like I'm doing the wrong turn franchise right now.
And I just have fun with it
because it's like,
This is so stupid and so fabulous.
This was brilliant.
Yeah.
This was really, truly brilliant.
You know, this was brilliant filmmaking.
And so it's kind of cool to see how diverse the horror genre is.
And the only reason we can have stupid, silly horror movies now is because the genre got big enough because of true masterpieces like this.
So it's really interesting to watch.
There's the other, what is the movie that I watched with Greg?
It was really good where a girl's face is covered in blood.
She was like, went swimming in this blood and she comes out.
It's a poster cover too.
A dissent?
Yes.
Yeah.
It's exactly what it is.
The dissent clearly borrows from this.
Oh, yeah.
Clearly borrows from this.
Absolutely.
And a lot of the high school horror movies clearly cover for this.
Jennifer's body clearly borrows from this, you know?
There's a lot of things that I've watched here that it's like, oh, this was laying the foundation for so much.
And then watching it hold up to this day as bruce.
brilliantly as it did, I also really am a big fan of religious horror because religion
can be horrifying.
And so...
Catholic Guild in Boston.
Never leaves you.
In all religions, there's horrifying aspects, you know?
Like, anything that's extreme can be really scary.
And it's not me casting judgment.
It's just me saying that it lends itself well for horror.
Sure.
When you go extreme.
And mythology does and knowing, like, rituals and imagery and stuff.
Right.
So I thought that that was interesting.
the mom was wild, but she didn't seem unrealistic.
It felt like, oh, my God, I hate that some people's parents are like this.
Yeah, I like that about it.
But some people's parents are, yeah.
So just all across the board, and then not to mention the elements, like how things were lit, the score, which was crazy, the buildup for things.
I thought the dialogue was very natural across the board, but you don't always get in horror.
So this is just an A plus.
Yeah.
How about you?
I love this.
I give it an A.
I really liked that it
I thought I didn't like horror
So like that's been my journey
You came in with not having seen a lot of horror
Discovering you loved it
I'm coming from a place of like
It had to crawl out of a hole of my judgment
I was like I don't like this genre
And I think the problem was
When I was coming up in horror
A lot of it was sophomoric
And I didn't see the foundational stuff
And then on top of that
What were you kind of
Like I don't know
I love scream
And Final Destination
and I love
like I guess Cabin the Woods
is comedy horror
like those are the ones I like
I don't like saw
I don't like hostile
I don't like the tourist one
like I don't like body horror
that's like torture porn
like that doesn't suit me
and I think the problem was
I saw a mix of that
and then I'd see like
Jeepers creepers 3
or some shit
I'd see like the sequels
to the good ones
that like deteriored over time
so the problem was
like my friends that like horror
would always watch like
oh the dumb it's so dumb
it's fun
like the fifth in a series
like Lepricon 7
Like I don't need that
So now that I'm seeing the things like
This and a couple years ago
I watched Rosemary's Baby
Because my fiance loves classic Hollywood
And like you know
Her performance there
And I think I watched a few things on the channel
That have slowly like pushed me towards like open-mindedness
And I think this I went into with a full open mind
Not under the lens of like I don't like horror
I went like I've heard this is great as a movie
Genres separate
But now I'm wanting to watch more horror
because I don't want to have that connotation.
I think it's really dumb to assume you don't like an entire swath of something.
It's such an exhausting way to like operate.
I want to get rid of that.
You know what I mean?
It's like, I hate this entire thing people love.
Like that's dumb as hell.
Completely.
I used to always, I was like, I like, I like all music, except for country music.
Yeah.
And it's like, you get older and you're like, actually some of the songs are cool.
This is dope.
Yeah, that thinks, I used to think about classical.
It's like, where are the words?
And now I'm like, I have raw emotion in music form.
So like, I don't want to ever generalize.
So this was me coming in going,
like, oh, I think this is going to be a good time.
It was insane. I love that. Each scene
is going to be a different journey. And I think
it was formatted in such a way that you
are wondering what's next. And I think
that the movie itself is so masterfully
directed. Brian DePalma, I'm pretty
sure he did Scarface. I know he did
Mission Impossible one, but I'm 99% sure he did
Scarface. He's one of those directors
he's one of those directors that like
is just like a legend
for a reason. And this was
really cool to see like the movie I think of him
as being known for.
You're just gone
It's just gone everybody
This is uh let's see
Brian De Palma
The man
I'm useless to you
This is me finding it
On my own
Scarface confirmed
It just makes you wonder
Where did
In this time
He did Carlito's way
Which I've never seen
Snake Eyes which I've never seen
He's got a lot of great work
But yeah he did Mission Impossible
He did Scarface
He's done dressed to kill
You didn't watch sneakers
No the Nicholas Cage one
Oh
That classic cover at every blockbuster near you
I thought you were talking about.
Yeah, this is like a classic DVD cover.
I thought you were talking about the more recent one.
It wasn't it called Snake Eyes?
Maybe.
G.I. Joe Snake Eyes?
Yeah.
Nope.
I haven't seen that either.
But yeah, a lot of people, it's fun because of this channel having eight of us,
people are always wondering.
Yeah, Henry Golding Snake Eyes.
Oh, that's so funny.
I haven't seen it.
Skip it because the other G.
J.J.J.J.
But it's funny because this channel, everybody's like,
oh, there's no way you guys haven't seen blank.
I grew up.
This was 76.
My parents were five.
I didn't have the association to this.
franchise because my parents didn't watch horror now I'm because I was averse getting to discover
stuff so I think it's really fun this channel allowing for the like kind of weak spots in my
filmography to come through and I loved that this was an open-minded experience where I got to be
completely surprised by everything except for one image I didn't know how the image came about
didn't know what was going to happen after that image and I have a fairly strong aversion to the
characters like the mom so I got to really enjoy like feeling torn about she just killed all those
kids, she can't survive this, but also
mom's got to die first. Yeah. So like it was
a really interesting. Yeah. And like
she clearly was ruined that child's life.
She can't get away with that. Yeah. So I had a
really interesting time of the third act after she killed
everyone. I was like, oh, I'm so conflicted.
Also screw that dad who left her
kid knowing that the mom be like
that. No, no. The dad is the biggest
villain we never meet. And she's
the mom's the biggest villain we do meet and then
carries the product of environment. It gets a lot of people
and it ends up being a villain. Unfortunately, even though
she's like our hero, she is of
villain and she certainly sue's villain for sue that ending with sue yeah that was wild man that was
wild like every time you bring up something else i feel like i could rabbit hole about the thing
that you're bringing up for quite some time i am i do think it didn't hurt or disservice the movie
by any means us knowing about that one image because the the fact that when we like you know
the second that the pigs blood whatever when we see the bucket a horror movie
who's not going to introduce that and then not spill it on it.
Yeah.
So we would have known.
Check off's pig bucket.
Right.
Like what are we going to do?
And never mind.
So we knew.
So it was almost kind of cooler building up the anticipation for that, knowing that we saw it.
And I wonder if back in the day, everybody knew too.
If in the trailers, they had to have shown that in it.
Well, I think it was the poster.
That's what I thought.
But I was afraid that I was, no, no, that's what I thought.
Like, I was afraid I was misremembering because maybe the modern poster is that.
Because they're like, oh, everybody's seen it.
We can make that the poster.
I don't know.
Because I think when.
I went to like blockbuster and like Hollywood video back in the day it was on the cover
but that could be the new poster okay so like 100% yeah oh what a great image those two
yeah well um prepper in case you want to zoom in what a great image those two yeah
i mean yeah i could definitely talk about this forever i feel like we've covered uh you know
the director of the acting um the music is incredible the music i think psycho that was definitely
the psycho sound what year was psycho i have a phone now coy oh i'll let you handle it boy i have
have a phone now you check in there i found you found your phone i found my phone which i of course put on that
blue shirt over there because why wouldn't i who wouldn't go put their shirt right there um
psycho okay uh i sound like a psycho right now psycho came out in oh my god this embarrassing for us
had to come out really embarrassing nice and 76 as well not even the same decade
like 50s 1960 psycho pre-dates kids
I should have known that because Hitchcock is like is the 50s 60s.
Have you ever?
Yeah.
Which is obviously before.
But he had stuff into the 70s.
Sure, but not psyched.
But not psycho.
Well, everyone in the comments, I hope you enjoyed yelling at us for not knowing the 16 year gap between these two films.
I'm a little embarrassed.
Someone that was born in the year cycle came out would have been driving by the time this came out.
We're doing great.
But yeah, I was really impressed by that.
They would have been at prom.
They would have been.
Oh, that's true.
That's true.
All those psycho babies.
Yeah, I really love this.
I'm overwhelmed by how good it was.
It was great to have a classic, be a classic for a reason.
It was great that it aged so well that 50 years later next year, 50 years, it is still a generational film.
It is still applicable to so many generations.
It's still good all these generations later.
Love that.
I had a great time.
I'm super curious.
I love when movies end and I'm like, wait, I want to hear all these things about it.
This was nominated for two Oscars.
Do you want me to tell you what they were?
One, Sissy Spaceic.
That's an actress in a leading role.
That's amazing.
She should have been nominated.
And two was for Piper Lorry for supporting role.
Who I am like, okay, now I need to know who that was.
And it's Margaret White, which is her mom.
Ah, yeah, she was incredible with that crazy accent.
What was the girl's name?
Looked like Sidney Sweeney.
Oh, yeah.
We got to look right now.
Is she Sidney's mom?
Her name was Chris.
Okay, her name's Nancy Allen.
And I don't know because they have to be related.
Is Nancy Allen related to?
to see
Ancia Allen and all the robocops
Okay we're not alone in thinking that
Okay what do people say
Is people on Reddit asking are they related
Sidney and Nancy Allen
They just looked so similar
Why didn't the guy who played Tommy Ross
Why don't I recognize him for anything after this?
I don't know his hair was amazing
I hope he got him to hair modeling
Yeah damn but that's really cool
That this was nominated for two Oscars
Especially at that time I feel like there was not a lot of horror
nominations at the
Oscars still isn't, but back then, I feel like
even less. I feel like it might have been the opposite because
there's so much less films made. Like, if you
think about filmmaking now, the ones that actually get a theatrical
release, we're starting to see a shift
into streaming, but before that, you could make a ton of
movies every year. I think in the 70s, you'd
have a movie actually play for 12 weeks. We'd have to look
and see. Yeah, I'm just spitballing.
Do you want to know a few things or no?
Yeah. You want to know something?
I want to know some... When Sissy's Basic
was preparing for her character, she
isolated herself from the rest of the ensemble,
decorated her dressing room with heavy religious iconography and studied Gustav Doris' illustrated Bible.
She studied the body language of people being stoned for their sins, starting or ending every scene in one of those positions.
Fascinating.
Insane.
That is a lot.
That's insane.
Okay.
Nancy Allen, who I just named was the girl who looked like Sidney, claims she never realized her character was going to be so.
evil until she saw the film.
She poured pig blood on a girl.
She thought that she and John Trubolta were playing
such self-centered bickering morons
that they were there for comic relief.
Piper Lorry also thought the character
of Margaret White was so over the top
that the film had to be a comedy.
Wow.
I guess if you're doing your little independent moments,
I could see that.
Damn.
While speaking at a book event in Fort Myers, Florida
in 2010,
10, Stephen King recalled that he was paid just $2,500 for the movie rights to carry,
which may seem like pittance, but he has no regrets.
Quote, I was fortunate to have that happen to my first book.
And what a first book it was?
What a first movie it was.
The name of the high school is Bates High, a reference to Norman Bates from Psycho.
In addition, the four-note violin theme from Psycho is used over and over in the film.
Because Psycho came first, you see.
By almost two decades.
We didn't play the Shmodown.
We managed the Shmodown.
We picked our fighters.
Never could.
Never would.
And anytime anybody asking about it, I'm like,
and this is why.
I've never seen this much trivia about a movie ever.
Yeah, there's probably 82 documentaries about this.
I'm actually going to look into this because this was really relevant.
Yeah, me too.
This is crazy.
Like, I'm still scrolling.
Usually there's like 10 things.
There's 100.
I just scrolled to the, to the, to the,
spoiler ones just to see
but okay the fake
blood dropped on cissy space it kept
drying and adhering to her skin because
of the hot lights the only solution
was to hose her down
when the substance got gluey
that sentence I will leave you
that sentence well sometimes you gotta
hose them down with the hoses on set
when the murder of others gets
gooey gluey
okay well that was a charming
journey of
so much trauma I'm really
glad we saw that if you guys want us to watch any other Stephen king adaptations as
roxy and i have learned we've seen roughly 2% of them please leave a comment below i
definitely think we should see like pet cemetery and thinner and some of the other classics
kujo i've heard is great let us know in the comments below what else uh you want us
watching this does well hopefully we can go on like kind of a journey this was the first
fittingly so that'd be cool to deep dive so uh let us know in the comments below thank you
for watching much love to prepper and to you at reject nation we'll see you soon
Thank you.
