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!

You have to have the age legal for consuming 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.
Starting point is 00:00:53 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.
Starting point is 00:01:14 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.
Starting point is 00:01:24 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.
Starting point is 00:01:33 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.
Starting point is 00:01:46 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.
Starting point is 00:02:02 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.
Starting point is 00:02:24 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?
Starting point is 00:02:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:00 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
Starting point is 00:03:46 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
Starting point is 00:04:31 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
Starting point is 00:05:08 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
Starting point is 00:05:50 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
Starting point is 00:06:28 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
Starting point is 00:06:44 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
Starting point is 00:06:59 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
Starting point is 00:07:14 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
Starting point is 00:07:35 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
Starting point is 00:07:55 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
Starting point is 00:08:13 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
Starting point is 00:08:48 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:19 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.
Starting point is 00:10:34 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.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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,
Starting point is 00:11:28 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.
Starting point is 00:11:44 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.
Starting point is 00:12:00 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.
Starting point is 00:12:16 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?
Starting point is 00:12:29 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.
Starting point is 00:12:39 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
Starting point is 00:13:17 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
Starting point is 00:14:33 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.
Starting point is 00:15:17 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?
Starting point is 00:15:33 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.
Starting point is 00:16:07 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
Starting point is 00:16:50 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
Starting point is 00:17:16 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,
Starting point is 00:17:34 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
Starting point is 00:17:47 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
Starting point is 00:17:59 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
Starting point is 00:18:21 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
Starting point is 00:19:01 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.
Starting point is 00:19:32 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.
Starting point is 00:19:55 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.
Starting point is 00:20:09 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.
Starting point is 00:20:24 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
Starting point is 00:20:38 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
Starting point is 00:20:54 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,
Starting point is 00:21:08 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.
Starting point is 00:21:27 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.
Starting point is 00:21:38 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.
Starting point is 00:21:51 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?
Starting point is 00:22:01 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.
Starting point is 00:22:37 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.
Starting point is 00:22:48 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.
Starting point is 00:23:05 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.
Starting point is 00:23:24 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
Starting point is 00:23:55 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
Starting point is 00:24:14 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,
Starting point is 00:24:24 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.
Starting point is 00:24:33 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.
Starting point is 00:24:50 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.
Starting point is 00:25:06 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,
Starting point is 00:25:31 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
Starting point is 00:26:06 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
Starting point is 00:26:21 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.
Starting point is 00:26:36 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.
Starting point is 00:26:51 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.
Starting point is 00:27:17 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.
Starting point is 00:27:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:52 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,
Starting point is 00:28:30 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.
Starting point is 00:28:52 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
Starting point is 00:29:06 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.
Starting point is 00:29:22 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...
Starting point is 00:29:32 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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.
Starting point is 00:29:55 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
Starting point is 00:30:16 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?
Starting point is 00:30:37 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
Starting point is 00:30:55 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,
Starting point is 00:31:12 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 That's right, baby. I'm excited too. I can't wait to watch the next one until next time, guys. We're out.
