Starting point is 00:01:06 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.

Starting point is 00:01:26 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.

Starting point is 00:01:39 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,

Starting point is 00:01:49 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.

Starting point is 00:02:08 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.

Starting point is 00:02:24 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.

Starting point is 00:02:42 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

Starting point is 00:02:58 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

Starting point is 00:03:07 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?

Starting point is 00:03:18 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.

Starting point is 00:03:29 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

Starting point is 00:03:43 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,

Starting point is 00:03:59 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.

Starting point is 00:04:15 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, 1982, which I haven't seen. 1985 cat's eye and silver bullet nope have not seen

Starting point is 00:05:20 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.

Starting point is 00:05:30 Good call. Yeah, that's crazy. It's so good. The math. The math. Look at you. No one dates. 76, Carrie.

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.

Starting point is 00:08:38 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

Starting point is 00:08:56 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

Starting point is 00:09:11 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

Starting point is 00:09:29 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.

Starting point is 00:09:45 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

Starting point is 00:10:19 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

Starting point is 00:10:52 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

Starting point is 00:11:32 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

Starting point is 00:11:57 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

Starting point is 00:12:12 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

Starting point is 00:12:29 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

Starting point is 00:12:46 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.

Starting point is 00:13:03 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

Starting point is 00:13:40 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.

Starting point is 00:14:01 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

Starting point is 00:14:21 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.

Starting point is 00:14:56 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.

Starting point is 00:15:21 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.

Starting point is 00:15:47 So no matter what summer brings, tear, poor, live more. You can go to liquid iv.com and get 20% off your first order with code rejects at checkout. 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,

Starting point is 00:16:14 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.

Starting point is 00:16:36 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,

Starting point is 00:16:42 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,

Starting point is 00:16:48 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.

Starting point is 00:16:59 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.

Starting point is 00:17:14 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.

Starting point is 00:17:39 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.

Starting point is 00:17:49 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.

Starting point is 00:18:17 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.

Starting point is 00:18:33 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.

Starting point is 00:18:49 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

Starting point is 00:19:09 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

Starting point is 00:19:23 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

Starting point is 00:19:37 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

Starting point is 00:19:50 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

Starting point is 00:19:59 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

Starting point is 00:20:07 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

Starting point is 00:20:19 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.

Starting point is 00:20:38 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.

Starting point is 00:20:52 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,

Starting point is 00:21:05 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

Starting point is 00:21:21 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

Starting point is 00:21:36 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

Starting point is 00:21:46 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

Starting point is 00:21:55 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.

Starting point is 00:22:07 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,

Starting point is 00:22:18 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.

Starting point is 00:22:28 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

Starting point is 00:22:52 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

Starting point is 00:23:14 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

Starting point is 00:23:30 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.

Starting point is 00:24:05 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.

Starting point is 00:24:19 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.

Starting point is 00:24:32 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

Starting point is 00:25:07 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.

Starting point is 00:25:39 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.

Starting point is 00:25:57 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.

Starting point is 00:26:08 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.

Starting point is 00:26:28 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.

Starting point is 00:26:44 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.

Starting point is 00:26:56 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

Starting point is 00:27:12 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

Starting point is 00:27:29 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

Starting point is 00:27:45 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.

Starting point is 00:28:06 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.

Starting point is 00:28:31 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.

Starting point is 00:28:49 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.

Starting point is 00:29:15 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.

Starting point is 00:29:35 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.

Starting point is 00:29:49 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

Starting point is 00:30:01 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

Starting point is 00:30:16 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

Starting point is 00:30:38 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.
