Join Aaron Alexander, Andrew Gordon & John Humphrey as they face Death’s deadly blueprint once more in David R. Ellis’s 2003 horror sequel Final Destination 2. After a premonition of a catastrophic pile-up on Route 23, grieving college student Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook, Psych, Dead Like Me) saves fellow travelers—including returning survivor Clear Rivers (Ali Larter, Final Destination, Resident Evil) and skeptical Officer Thomas Burke (Michael Landes, Lois & Clark, Crime Story)—from oblivion. As each narrow escape triggers increasingly elaborate “accidents,” the group races to decode death’s design before it claims them all. The film delivers some of the franchise’s most iconic set-pieces: the bone-shattering log-truck crash that flattens a diner, the suffocating tanning-bed horror, the gruesome hair-in-the-drain mangling, and the spine-tingling funeral-home showdown that reunites them with a familiar face (including Bruce Campbell’s memorable cameo). Alongside Cook and Larter, the supporting ensemble—Nora Carpenter (Lindsey Haun, Ghost Whisperer), Eugene Dix (Terrence C. Carson, The Lion King live action), Kat Jennings (Maja Davis, The Wedding Planner), Evan Lewis (David Paetkau, Tremors 2), and bereaved father Tim Carpenter (James Kirk, CSI)—brings heart and terror to every death-defying moment. Join Aaron, Andrew, & John as they break down every jaw-dropping kill, ingenious booby-trap, and twist of fate in Final Destination 2—and find out if anyone can ever outsmart Death!

This week's videos are sponsored by Price Picks, the easy-to-use fantasy sports betting app.
More on them in just a bit.
But without further ado, let's go to our final destination.
Wow.
Lunch is served.
Wow.
This is missed up, y'all.
Oh, my God, dude.
What a meanie.
What a meaning.
Yeah, because she was saying, they were saying, Aaron Douglas.
Yeah, they were saying, that's two-thirds of my name.
They were saying that the guy who had that characteristic trait pulled him away from being hit by the car.
Bro.
And then that happened.
Oh, yeah.
That's what I was going to say.
That's good.
They slipped it there right under our noise.
I think his name was Rory.
Hey.
That was good.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Wow, you guys.
Guys, turn the audio down?
He did.
You want to more?
No, it's good.
It's fine.
Once through the post-credit scene.
I'm just kidding.
It's probably not.
I mean, who knows?
This movie invented post-credit scene.
Yes, it did.
Probably.
Death is about to show up and recruit all the other faculties of the known universe for a special team.
Special team.
Nick Fury, Final Destination.
Guys, first of all, we want to.
Of course, it's nature.
We want to thank the people of a prepper for a, wow, wah-ha-ha-ha.
Couldn't on these highlights.
It's like a chain reaction in the editing room.
It is what I imagine.
It's like somebody knocks over like a soda onto a keyboard and then like one computer like pops up and like hits another and then like the video comes out.
That's exactly how that what happens.
At least I hope it is.
Also, if you're listening on Apple or Spotify, make sure to give us how many guys?
Five, Cinco.
Six stars.
Five six stars.
Also make sure to go to RejectationShop.com.
Boom, boom, boom, pow.
Boom, boom.
Get your shirts.
We got this new one and a bunch of other coming on the way.
Guys, boys, jents, survivors of the final destination.
Ghost and Jusuf.
Hey.
What do you think of the movie?
First of all, I want to apologize about all the Smallville stuff.
I'm sure you guys.
Own it, my friend.
No, own it.
It's not my fault they had like every damn actor in it because apparently there's only
smallville actors in Canada that live there.
What we need to do is put a counter.
for the rest of the franchise at the bottom of the screen and just like just take a shot
one take a shot every time you hear me say that an actor is from from smallville I guess but
what's going to happen is Superman's going to come save this yeah I want to see Tom well I want to
see Tom welling now when Michael Rosenbaum and Kristen Kroc all them in one of these movies but
I'm I'm feeling fine icky as well but I think that's the point of these movies yeah
I mean this movie does what a sequel is supposed to do it's supposed to up
the anti up the the death toll up the uh how gruesome they are and again i thought some of them
were just extremely inventive and i think we talked about it too as we were watching it i really
like how they subvert your expectations of what you think is going to happen then it happens
a totally different way i think that's a fun way for it to happen because then it catches you
off guard unexpectedly so i think that was a lot of fun to happen i really did
like in regards to, by the way, as also, as we mentioned, I really did not expect Allie Larder's
character clear to, I definitely expected her to die, but I thought it was just going to be a
cameo role and then within 10 minutes or so of her being in it. So I'm glad that they gave her
a longer, you know, screen time than I was anticipating. I'm sad of obviously what happened
because I really did connect and I grew to love her character. So I was very sad in ending.
for her character, but I thought that was also fascinating how they connected the first two films
because it definitely could have felt forced with how they did it, but I thought they did it in a way
that was like it was interesting and how they were explaining, you know, how death work is
working backwards in the whole Rift effect. So I thought that was interesting. And I'm very
curious how, and I'm not sure if other people come for the story and the characters otherwise
are people like, for the article. Yeah, I just want to see like elaborate and inventive.
deaths in these films, but I actually really, again, I was, at least, you know, for the main two
characters, and I thought all the other actors did a pretty good job, but I actually liked
those two characters. I like their interactions. I like their chemistry. I was invested. I didn't
want anything personally to happen to them. So, you know, from that perspective, the movie got me
on the hook there. I'd still, if we're comparing, I probably still like the first movie a little
bit more, but I still really enjoyed this one. It was, again, it was very elaborate. It was scary
at times and also a lot of fun at the same point and I like the emotional dramatic beats that
it hit and yeah I got some more stuff I want to say but Donald how are you feeling my friend
I'm feeling good you smallville doubt I'm small I'm ready for another season of smallville next week
with you guys shows nothing like what I had expected I don't know when Superman's going to show
he's also in smallville on the right I'm not even joking he really is a premedition I am having a vision
of the next video uh no this is really fun
And this franchise has a wild blend of tones.
The first installment has a similarly kind of offbeat blend of tones.
And I'm fascinated by the way that this is growing because, you know, ultimately the thing that ties everything together, the kills, the elaborate death trap sequences and whatnot.
And, yeah, it is kind of a fun, you know, obviously the kind of like transferring curse,
genre is a thing
you know that probably predates this
a lot of the like major examples come from around
this time or later and then you know
there's like stuff like saw which is about to begin
or is beginning
around the time of this movie and so yeah
to me it feels like the best version of
watching yeah both like
saw but also like it follows
or the ring or you know one of those movies or like
you said smile and
yeah like the tones of these are
off the wall
I do appreciate like there's something
about them that I can't quite put my finger on
that like it feels like it shouldn't work
and yet it feels like it works
because the tones are what they are
like the beginning of both of these movies
felt like we were in some kind of
wacky national lampoon
teen movie or something
where like especially at the beginning
of this one like girl comes to the car she's like
I brought my whips and chains she gets in and she's like
I'm getting horny
she's like what is happening what is this
and like her friends in the car
it's like you know it's a little short
where like everybody is like a stereotype of some kind
and you know like there are all these kind of stock lines
and things that are happening but then
the premonition comes and the big you know log truck sequence
takes hold and like that was really cool
and the way that they again did that thing
where they start to you know spread the attention around
and show you everybody who's going to be involved
in this elaborate crash and who might get saved
and who our survivors are going to be and all that stuff
like there are serious
I wouldn't call these like serious
but there are moments where seriousness creeps in
this didn't have as much of
like the first movie I think was a little bit more unified
and how it did the
sort of like a bunch of survivors
bound by this traumatic near death experience
like that felt like even though the first movie
did have some teen movie qualities
in the characterizations
the first movie felt like it really leaned into that
once the plain tragedy
was solidified, whereas this movie kind of goes back and forth between being like there
are moments of seriousness and, you know, that are, you know, it's like, well, the girl and her dad
are sitting there, you know, and like the lights all amber again and, you know, they're contemplating
what's happened. But then it'll like kick back up into like, well, this scene feels like a sketch.
Like with the, you know, cop and the woman giving birth, you know, and some of the, you know,
ensemble. Like everyone's kind of on a different wave, some of them, at least, in terms of how big
everyone's performing but like there's there's a weird thing where like all these disparate tones like
there are these things that feel like momentary sketches there are other things that feel yeah like
they're going for the dramatic other things that feel like they're going for comedy other things
that feel like they're going for irony and somehow all these things like coalesce to being a very
fun wild feeling movie experience uh and so like i get why this franchise is so lovable and so
fun for so many people because yeah you feel that kind of like gleefully start
donic, giggly quality behind the camera.
There's so many, I feel like I can go on forever trying to dissect this, but, you know, why the tone is what it is and how it works and why.
Because sometimes you feel like you're watching a TV movie or a TV show or a soap opera or a horror movie or or or, but it kept making choices that I thought were interesting.
I liked the expansion on the lore and the ripple effect and the sort of like new life thing.
like if we're going to redo a lot of the structural elements of the first movie like you pointed out
I like that they kind of lean into the ensemble and and oh god there's there's one specific thing
that I wanted to touch on but it's eluding I want to hear at this moment but yeah this is this is a
good time oh allie larder I like as much as I'm upset that she had to die here uh I was kind of
of all right with the way they did it in a way like it's so unceremonious and it's so like oh my god
It gets, like, charred up.
And a part of me is sort of, like, not 100% sure if I like that.
And it is a little bad.
But at the same time, to have it be the fake out of like, no, we beat it.
We did it.
She goes in to talk to Eugene, who I'm like, oh, this man gets to live.
You know, like, he made it.
He somehow, after all this torture.
And then they blow up.
And I was like, that sucks, but also like.
And she was originally supposed to death reestablishing dominance.
I get it.
And she was originally supposed to be charged in that airplane.
That's true.
That's a good call.
It's well tied around.
Aaron.
Reject.
the basketball playoffs are heating up and if you want to turn your takes into something real you've got to check out prize picks our go-to in the daily fantasy sports world if you've never tried it here's how it works it's relatively simple you pick two to six players and you guess whether or not they'll get more or less than the stat line price picks sets this week i'm looking at the basketball board and selecting donovan mitchell for more than 26 points jason tatum for more than nine rebounds nikola yokech for more than 25 points
and Anthony Edwards for more than four assists.
Basketball terminology.
It's that simple.
If your picks hit, you win.
Even my dumb noggin can keep up with that.
And the more picks that you string together,
the more money you can make,
up to 1,000 times your entry.
And what's cool is, it's not just basketball.
You can mix and match players across different sports
like baseball, football, hockey,
even esports.
It's like building your own custom bet.
It's all based on player stats and you're in full control.
Plus, they invented something called flex play,
which means even if one of your picks
misses, you can still win cash.
And payouts are super fast.
I've seen it hit in under 15 minutes.
So here's what you can do.
You can download the app today and use code rejects to get $50 instantly after you play
your first $5 lineup.
Again, that's code rejects, $50 instantly after your first $5 lineup.
We've yacked enough.
How are you feeling?
How are you feeling?
I just want to say that the black man did not die last.
He was close.
He was very, very close.
He was third to last.
by technicality.
Him and Allie Larder like a tie, wouldn't you say?
Maybe they died together, you know?
Yeah, so second, second to last.
Second to last, I'll take it.
I was close.
Third to last?
Because the guy with the barbecue arm?
Well, he's, he was last.
Okay, you're right.
They're tied for a second or third to last.
Either way.
That was close.
Yeah, this movie was fun.
This was a fun.
Having fun.
Fun, stressful time.
Yeah.
And I think that I, I like this one more than
the first one. I think the first one, I tried to do a thing where it took itself seriously at
first and then I felt like as more people started to die, the gravity of the fact that we lost
somebody started to be alleviated and that just kind of leaned into the cycle of death. Whereas
this one, they never took the reality of the situation of all of these people are dying in
horrible ways and like we're we're gonna mourn them and like go over like the guilt trip of what
it's like to be a survivor of you know such tragedy they kind of just lean straight into like
okay we got to figure it out we're going to go to the games we got to collect people yeah and i
appreciated that because i feel like that's where things start to get interesting and they took
the things that worked in the last movie and really leaned into it like i feel like the model for
the last movie was the whole explosion scene and the tension of that and like the different pieces and the subversions and I feel like they tried to incorporate a lot more of that into the sequel which I appreciate it because that stuff is what adds the tension and the quote unquote fun of watching a movie like this and yeah it's such a weird concept to talk about what was your favorite death of the movie just like from like a practical standpoint but you know within the reality of the film I think that's part of that is literally the appeal of watching
people die so I think that that said I enjoyed it in a weirdly morbid kind of way you know because
the deaths were creative some of them were a little goofy the the tension of the different ways
and the domino effect of the deaths were endlessly entertaining and I'm excited to see what other
ways they can find for people to die in hilarious ways I get insane I have a feeling I'm trying
my favorite death and I'm curious to hear what you guys oh I got I got it my minor is tossed up between
the spaghetti ladder slip oh my contextually and the kid getting smushed by the construction
those are my two favorite that was a great just dummy gag the way he like because I expected it
just be flat but they like yeah they put like his his like head buckles forward and his legs like bow out
You're like, oh, God.
You're talking about when he left the dentist, right?
Yeah, when he's like shoeing the pigeons and then the big glass pain falls on him.
Yeah.
He did not.
He did not.
He did not live long and prosperous.
His name is James Kirk and I'm like, hey.
Also, like the mini part of them trying to like scoop up the wet pigeon.
Yeah.
Why is his pigeon so wet?
And like the protracted way that you're like, oh my gosh.
God, like, part of this elaborate death for you, part of this torture is you have to do some silly shit over here.
You have to be degraded by, like, you know, just like wacky trying to, like, wrangle a pigeon and some fish is like, like, stop up the tank.
And then, and then, you know, she gets to at least live a little while.
If they would have went that route, it wouldn't have been my favor, but I would have been grossed out beyond imagination was when his hand was inside the trash compactor inside the sink.
Oh, yeah.
I'm glad the garbage disposal.
I'm glad they did not go that route.
was horrible. Obviously this doesn't count, but I'm still going to go with it. I'm going with
the premonition deaths at the beginning. I thought that was so. Oh, yeah. That was wild.
I love because it was so many things being thrown at once and the way in which everything
happened. And then you got the second portion of what happened afterwards with the suburban again.
I got to go hands down for me. And then with the guy, the first guy I mentioned from Smallville,
the one who called Superman in Man of Steel, the one who got the, the one who eventually
got with the eye when he was burning alive and his junk was burning and then he got hit by the
truck by that was insane yeah i mean yeah that that that that log carrier crash sequence is
pretty spectacular and it's like a pretty great opening set piece to like set the toe yeah but
i love how that scene built a you mentioned it when we were racked that scene built up tension
so well it took its time and like i can just imagine
in so many different ways this is going to go
and I don't like any of them.
Well, that's the fun as, yeah,
is like they are clearly inspired enough
when they're coming up with these
Rube Goldberg death machines.
So, yeah, like, throw a bunch of
icky, squirmy prospects at you
and, like, I think they're good at that.
They're good at, like, foreshadowing
and then, like, throwing you little zigs and zags and stuff.
And it's weird, like, again, the tone thing.
Like, that scene is very tense,
even though, like, the lead-up dialogue
and the character types
are all very silly
like quite silly
and are like again
out like tonally
like out of a teen comedy
but then when the reality sets in
I guess that's the part of the kind of fun
harsh tone shift
that death often presents
is like it comes out of nowhere
swiftly and violently
I'm trying to think
if there's a if there's like
just another answer to say
to be cool about it
it's the mom on the elevator
beheading
icky
not my favorite
not my favorite death
sequence for like the air the air bag one was insane going quiet the air bag was was what was
crazy work that like that was that dude I feel so bad for that guy bro that guy I do not feel
bad for that guy I was like he's going to live with that for the rest of his life he's
know the airbag is going to blow up I know she wasn't being very kind to him at that moment
but the way he just like chunk and the airbag goes off and I'm like bro you could have been a little
bit more I don't know she could have gotten into the passenger see why you did that no no it was stuck
in her leg that's right she could yeah yeah that's why you could be more delicate at bare minimum or so
i don't know if it was me i'd be leaning over i'll be like this thing is staying way over here until
i'm out of this car but it speaks to the subversion you're talking about because you thought someone
was going to die what it initially went through yeah you think they're safe and then all of a sudden
just boom it's fucking snap of the head they're good at taking the obvious stuff
Like, like, yeah, like, I'm wondering there must be a movie that has done the garbage disposal.
I feel like that often gets used for sure.
Probably because of this movie gets used as a fake out because we all hate that and we are all like, it would be so gross.
Everyone worse.
And like, no one ever wants to reach down there.
And that's, um, ble, blah, blah, ble, ble, ble, the, the car thing too is like you think, oh, somebody surely would have had to have died there.
And I like, yeah, they'll do things.
Like, well, a couple people got wounded and this sets up the next thing, but it's not quite what that was.
You know, like, they're going to doing their coincidental close calls in a way that don't hurt the movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think my third favorite death was the- Let's go in order.
That's what we should start doing on social media.
This is watch Mojo's favorite deaths from Final Fantasy 2.
Every final destination reaction, we do a death ranking.
And then at the end of the franchise, we rank the movies and all the deaths across every.
Every single one.
Powerpoint presentation.
It's a 20-minute video.
Yeah.
Do one of those tier bracket.
You made a really...
S-tier death.
Obviously, I was just,
I was kind of just making a reference
to one of my favorite nightmare in Elm Streets,
the third one, Dream Warriors,
but you also made a point that made me think of it as well.
I was kind of thinking of Allie Larder's clear in this film
as kind of the Nancy Thompson.
She's absolutely the Nancy.
You know, in terms of you've got the survivor from the pre...
Well, I guess in that case,
it was two previous films because she was the first one,
that was the third one, but the previous one in this case.
We didn't have an unrelated sequel between you.
And then you literally, again,
they're going to her first.
guidance and like what do we do in this situation
we are completely out of our element we need
your help we need your guidance and then
spoiler for
oh you haven't seen you don't say
but your spoiler just kind of
just told me without time
wait you're going to see the nightmare films I would
like to oh okay it's a nice inversion
on the nightmare three thing because
instead of like her going to
you know work at a thing with a bunch of kids
like she's going out of the hospital
to help a bunch of people who are united
yeah yeah
who are their own little
But I like those two, like Dream Warriors,
they're all coming together kind of thing,
to beat this supernatural force, if you will.
Yeah, instead of cutting around to a bunch of unrelated people.
Right.
You know, or sort of less related people now.
Yeah.
Whereas, and also, too, I would say in Dream Warriors,
I was really invested in that entire group as well.
And they've all got their own characteristics.
Like in this movie.
How everybody had their own characteristics.
Like that.
Oh, Cockey.
C cocaine guy.
Cocaine guy.
His death is pretty crazy.
That's what I was talking about.
That's definitely up there.
I think his name is Rory.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I was trying to disassociate.
Do you guys have anything else?
Dude, this is Final Fantasy.
The Spirit's with him.
No, you guys are talking about Nightmare and Alistreet.
I was trying to disassociate so I didn't hear anything.
You didn't hear much.
We just talked about the movie.
I was standing to the abyss while you guys were talking about that.
You do.
James Cameron?
Let's get James Cameron's Nightmare on Street.
Three.
Are you hitting us with the Rotten Tomatoes?
what do you guys want to start with budget box office or rotten what do you guys pick i want to start
with rotten all right all right uh aaron you go first real roomy go with critics we'll start
with critics each critics critics let's see let's go 59 42 percent 52 oh okay audience
uh 64
81.
58.
I'm doing bad one.
I was shocked on that one.
I thought people liked this movie.
All right.
Let's go budget.
All right.
You were closer, so you go first.
At all.
30 million.
That's a good guess.
I'm just going to go.
I'm going to go 40 million just to say something different.
26.
26.
Well done.
If I remember correctly, the last one was $20 million.
Wow.
I do not.
Worldwide, we are combining international and domestic worldwide for the final destination
to.
I'm going to go.
If I remember the last one was $100 million.
I could be wrong about that.
I'm probably am wrong about that.
We'll go $170 million.
Dang.
$150 million.
$90,941,000, $1,141,100.
29 dollars on you win all right i won but not very well it was not very pretty the way i just did that
he won by a technicality and this film came out one year before saw one and really quick just to
confirm the director david r ellis why does it say he directed the matrix reloaded no he did not
then this come out the same year as xman united xman two united yeah it did uh he directed shark nights
He directed cellular.
He directed snakes on a plane.
I've never seen snakes on a plane.
I love to watch it.
Have you seen it?
I saw it once in the theater.
Get this man watching that
reaction.
That's the only,
literally the only thing I know about that movie
and the title.
I think he did.
Why he signed on was the title.
And when they were threatened to change it,
he was like,
the hell you are,
I will walk off this movie
and let's call snakes on plane.
Is that a real story?
Pretty much.
I hope so.
Yeah, he also did Homer Bound
too. I was right about that.
They did a reshoot so that they could get
the MF in there. Really?
They did a reshoot so he could say the famous life.
That's amazing. He was like, you better let me
like, there's
a lot of very fun interviews of Sam Jackson
talking about how and why
that movie is what it is.
Oh, I'm excited. I want to see that. He's a very
heavy driving force. Do you guys
want to see us react to snakes in a plane? Please let
us know. It's a squirmy movie too. Oh, wait.
You've seen it, right? I saw it once
in the day. I drug my dad to the theater. I saw. I saw.
I saw it. I saw it. I'm not in.
You guys, you guys react.
I'll do a rewatch house. I'll never see it again.
I'm down for a rewatch with you.
All right. So real logs were tested for the crash sequence, but they did not bounce enough.
Therefore, the logs are CGI in this film.
Those looked good. There were, there were times where partly, I guess, the budget,
because I thought that they got a bigger CG budget for this.
I really like the skeleton hands. I'm just surprised they didn't do the warbly death thing.
But like the logs sitting there watching that, I was like, okay, I bet these are CG,
but like way that first one like clunks onto the road and like bounces back up like
feels super heavy like yes it's pretty sick you know a brain moments still in my brain
rent free when tony todd was like was crazy no i know what to tony todd was nuts i know what two
moments are stuck in your head the old man in the elevator sniffing that woman oh yeah and then also
and then also when kimberleek almost gives him an ear lick i loved oh that
So many interesting choices
But I loved that Tony Todd's see
I am now looking forward to every
One scene interlude with Tony Todd
Please
Or Tony Todd being weird
I hope he gets progressively weird
As the movie has to be
Last one he's going to be walking that around
Like naked and a bow tie
Oh he's dancing with a corpse in the next one
Did he film the newest one that came up before he passed?
I don't think so
I think really
I think maybe
You guys can correct this
I think he is in the movie.
Did he pass last year?
He passed.
I thought, did he come out?
I'll look that up right before we finish here.
RIP either way.
An instrumental version of John Denver's Rocky Mountain High,
the song that accompanied most of the deaths in Final Destination,
plays in the dentist's waiting room.
Sure.
That's fun.
And I guess real quick,
as much as I'm sad that they murked Alex off screen in between the movies,
I didn't hate that as much as I have in other movies, I guess,
even though I would have loved to have had more Sala.
Yeah.
At around the five-minute mark,
the school bus full of kids chanting pile-up is from Mount Abraham,
the same school as all the victims from Final Destination, the first film.
And I like that, too.
I liked how they were like, yeah, I was supposed to be at this place,
but some girl got smeared by a bus, and some dude got hit by a train.
Yeah, I like the expansion of the lore.
I'm like, okay, I see it's all connected.
Got the dots going.
The Stony Brook Institution Sanatorium that Clear Rivers places herself in
is the same sanatorium used in the opening of Halloween resurrection.
Hey!
Who called that crap?
Do you, Andrew?
You want the MVP of the video.
I was just saying that for fun.
I had no idea.
I know it's like every location in Canada has to be the same one,
the same lakes, the same hospitals.
I just want you to know, Andrew, if it gets tense enough in one of these reactions,
I want to take that sock off.
and throw it across the room okay that's good it's all good i know where you live oh you can take my sock off
okay that's good a pigeon breaks through the window it gets inside the waiting room in the dentist's office
according to some superstitions a bird being inside a building means that someone in the building
will die wow so does opening an umbrella indoors
Damn.
Oh, James Kirk, who portrays Tim Carpenter, the kid after the dentist,
who portrays Tim Carpenter in the film,
had previously been an uncredited extra in the first Final Destination.
Let's go.
Get that Canadian acting pool.
Canadian.
In Final Destination, several characters have names that pay homage
to various horror film directors.
In this film, Kimberly Corman's name pays homage to horror director.
Roger Corman,
while Nora and Tim Carpenter
are named after Janizio
Carpenter.
That's what I was saying.
Jesus the Carpenter.
Cat's car is seen at the
180 mile marker the number
of the Doom Float from
I know this nationia. A lot of
180s. I hope somebody
in the next movie dies on a skateboard
while doing a 180.
That would be sick.
Keegan Connor Tracy was cast
as cat five days before filming.
Keegan Michael, Conner, Tracy.
I know what character that is.
Yep.
Loved.
Yeah.
Cat.
R.P.
Well, let me just look up really quick about...
Was Cat cigarette lady?
I believe so, yeah.
Let me just check...
Cigarette Lady.
Let me just check Tony Todd.
He passed away November 6th, 2024.
Do you want me to tell you if he's in the new film or no?
Let's keep it a surprise.
Okay.
I'm not...
I will not look it up then.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
That's all the fun facts.
Twibia that we have today, gentlemen.
Oh, beautiful.
That was fun, though.
That was fun.
You guys have many final thoughts where we get out of here?
Final thoughts.
Just I'm enjoying the franchise a great deal.
Obviously, I normally don't like grotesque horror like this, but this is a fun franchise.
I've been engaged with the characters and I actually like the lore in the world building
in terms of the story with death and all that.
I actually find it fascinating and engaging.
I'm still locked in right now.
So I'm curious, as I always am, where the next one is going to go
because I really did like the way they bridge the gap in this one
with explaining how they were all connected.
And so I know that Kimber, or not Kim,
or what, was it Catherine, is that her name?
The girl on the left here.
I think so.
Whatever her name and the officer from the post.
Oh, or was she cat, I don't know.
Whatever, whatever, the two main characters,
the cop and her, it didn't look like on the poster of the third movie
that they're going to be involved.
So I'm curious what the connection is going to be
or if it's just going to be its own thing
even though it's got the name.
Yeah, if they stop that.
But I'm really enjoying the franchise last far as.
Yeah, I'm excited to see more spooky creative deaths.
These are imminently watchable.
And by comparison to something like a saw
or various other movies,
I absolutely get how these became so popular.
Totally.
These are very fun despite how Iggy and squirming me there.
And I'm enjoying, having fun with you guys.
bring on the third one, baby.
More small.
A third one.
Bring on Smallville season three.
That's right, baby.
I'm excited too.
I can't wait to watch the next one until next time, guys.
We're out.
