Starting point is 00:00:47 You have to have the age legal for consuming some alcohol. Thank you to Acorns and Huell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. We're ready to get scared, guys. I am scared already. All right.

Starting point is 00:01:03 I'm shaking in my boots. All righty. Final destination three, comments. If you are watching this on YouTube, it's because of those fine folks over at paper. They were editing down those highlights and the dangerous scenarios of the final destination that they probably had to go through.

Starting point is 00:01:23 We appreciate all their hard work. Working so hard over there, so we appreciate them. And if you are listening on Apple or Spotify, please give us five stars. We would really appreciate it. Also, make sure you get notified with new videos coming out so you can ring that bell. Yes, we're going to have more Final Destination videos. I'm sure we're picking out more actors.

Starting point is 00:01:46 So, John, how are you feeling, my friend? I'm feeling like it might be a good time to answer a couple questions from the patrons before we get into our thoughts on this moment. motion picture. What to think, what to think, what to think. Let me pull up some, but this was certainly a ride. Goodness, gracious me. I'm excited to get into everyone's thoughts, but yes.

Starting point is 00:02:16 100%. I'll leave that to you, Andrew. I'll leave that to you, Impressions. While you're looking that up, I'm going to look up the essentials for final D3. Final D3, this one had Elizabeth Winston in it. You are not going to believe what Julie was in. What do we got? A lot of stuff.

Starting point is 00:02:38 Wow. You want to tell the people, Andrew. You have one guest to guess what Julie was saying. She was in Smallville. What? And she was in the episode that I mentioned with the guy who was also in the gym. What's his name of the athlete who got with the swords or I guess the weight machine? the episode was called Recrued Season 4, Episode 13.

Starting point is 00:02:59 She was a sorority sister. I do remember. That's why she looks so familiar. I feel. I feel. I feel. I feel. That there's so many Smallville actors

Starting point is 00:03:06 with the theme song being, somebody saved me. It's about them all dying because no one could save them. I just want to see like a thing. I want to see a thing where Clark Kent is, I guess that's what the show, I'm going to look, when I rewatch Smallville now,

Starting point is 00:03:18 I'm going to think of it as like final destination, except Clark saved them all in this case. Yeah. Appreciate you. looking that up, giving me some time to pull up the patron questions and in figuring out

Starting point is 00:03:32 where you recognize her from, I am still 0% closer to knowing where I recognize it from. He's also in suits. I have not seen that either, but I know people love suits. All right. So, the first patron question

Starting point is 00:03:45 comes from Cody Enos. Shouts out to you. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Cody. Appreciate you, man. All right. Appreciate you, boo-boo. So now that we're three movies in. Okay.

Starting point is 00:03:55 Which movie would you most likely survive in? Out of the three? Oh, my goodness. I don't know. Are we the ones having the premonition? Is that the... Sure, why not? I just think...

Starting point is 00:04:10 Which of all that we've seen and of the tone of each movie? Oh, easy. This one. I'd survive this one. I just... I feel like each movie gets crazier and crazier with the death, so I would go with the first one. I don't know. I'm kind of with Aaron in a way.

Starting point is 00:04:30 Yeah. The first one and the second one, they, there, they were a little bit more like the timing of the deaths and the gruesomeness of the deaths were on point here. I feel like the circumstances were like a bit crazier and even more obtuse

Starting point is 00:04:48 in the first couple. There was, I feel like a little bit more of that like insane Rube Goldberg machining of stuff. Not that that's not present here, but I feel like it was like way dialed up in the last movie. I feel like the suspense and misdirection was definitely stronger in the first two movies. I would survive best

Starting point is 00:05:04 between one and two because all I got to do is dodge a fallen brick. Let's face real. I wouldn't survive any of it. I believe in you. All right. Eric Gonzalez also, thank you for chiming in on the page of questions. Final Destination 3. If you had

Starting point is 00:05:20 to survive in this movie's universe, what irrational fear would suddenly feel very real to you. Ooh. Ooh. Wooden trucks with wooden logs.

Starting point is 00:05:37 Or now drive-thrues. I don't know. One of those two. I don't know. I guess I'm always like irrationally afraid of like the grid getting overloaded and melting down. So I guess something that involves like some kind of crazy power

Starting point is 00:05:50 outage that then causes mayhem in the absence of whatever safety guards were tied to that power. And I'm going to stick with the two I said. And then also, too, I'm going to stick with, like, my hand possibly going into a drainage, the garbage disposal, I'm getting stuck. Okay, I'm tossed between two options, but two of them are tied, right? So, oil spill or banana, both involved slipping.

Starting point is 00:06:17 The other one, unrelated to those two. I got mine. Hold on. The other two unrelated to those two, superpowered bidet. blah blah blah blah blah right now you gave me something to think about now you made me the booty hole you made me you made me think of something with the banana one slipping on stairs oh no slipping on stairs that's bad that's rational i've done it before all right all right not not bad i'll keep thinking it on that one wooden stairs with my socks

Starting point is 00:06:47 i'm wondering there there's got to be some more some more juicy irrational fears to be played on But that's not bad. The irrational fear of nail guns, I think, would definitely feel a lot more pertinent in this universe as well as of this movie. Let's see. Bubble Troy, next up, ever been stuck on a ride? I think, yeah, I have, actually. Not in this fashion, but... I know.

Starting point is 00:07:15 I've definitely been stuck on a Ferris well before. Stuck on a Ferris. We all have been stuck on, you know, like everyone gets stuck. on the Haunted Mansion at some point at Disney or something like that. Yeah, I was going to say if I have, it's probably been on a calm ride but I will say this.

Starting point is 00:07:29 I remember there's a ride at Magic Mountain in Valencia called Ninja. I waited an hour to get on that ride and the ride broke down. I shit you not right when I was like about to get on. I was like, thank God that didn't happen when I was on.

Starting point is 00:07:45 Death intervened right at the right time. But no one obviously passed away but seriously I was like so happy and lucky because I heard that the people were stuck for a few hours. And I was like, I felt bad for them. But I was like, I was literally about to get on the ride to it and broke down a minute later. That's crazy. You got to save that day.

Starting point is 00:08:01 Seriously. Tiffany wants to know. Shouts out to me. Shout out to you. Will you ever ride a roller coaster again? Absolutely. Absolutely. Eventually.

Starting point is 00:08:11 Eventually. Not age of soon, but yes, for sure. I love roller coasters so much. Magic Mountain, Disneyland. Definitely. I also do living a roller coaster. I do enjoy. roller coaster so probably but i've definitely got to think about this and my older age in my older age

Starting point is 00:08:28 my back doesn't like roller coasters but i will also i will say this before i get on a roller coaster i will ask the people on the roller coaster if i have a premonition of some kind and i ask to get off the ride will you guys be willing to let me off the ride or do i have to stay on they're just going to shoot you on the spot to skip ahead yes i'm going to ask i will this movie has made me where to ask that question because I felt like that that's just, you're allowed to get off if you ask. You think so. You should, well, you know, sign a

Starting point is 00:08:59 waiver. Boyfriend at the top wasn't so lucky. It was not. They didn't care. All right. And then finally, from Patreon, we got Jessica. Hey, Jessica. Thank you. Jessica, Howser. Appreciate you. Out of all, three movies so far, which death was the one that sticks

Starting point is 00:09:15 out as the most surprising or terrifying for each of you personally? And is it based on a fear you have had or just from the movie. For instance, a lot of people say it'll never drive behind a log truck on an interstate after these movies. Personally, I would never have to begin with. The movie only confirmed my fears about it. If we're not going, it's a great question. If we're not going on the premonition, I would go with premonition number two, but if we're not going on premonition, I'll go with the I one in the second movie. That was, that was gnarly. And I've never, like,

Starting point is 00:09:48 I've never want, I mean, I don't want to go out anyway, but. Through the eye. No, thank you. There's a lot of them. Yeah, there's some... That one just stuck out to me first. Most terrifying. I feel like the one with Mrs. Luton, Miss Luton. In the first movie, where she burns, or no, she gets cut in the neck first, right?

Starting point is 00:10:08 There's just a whole lot of stuff happening, and that one felt, I remember, especially, like, mean and sad, and it was, like, this poor woman alone in her house just, like, trapped and just, like, everything's going wrong, and no one can get to you, no one can hear you. and then all the shit burns down. So in a way, like that one is like particularly chilling just because of A, the emotional tonality of the scene. But also, yeah, the chain reaction of events was pretty harsh. But I'm trying to think. I feel like there's another, I mean, I was definitely shocked big time by the barbed wire fence guy.

Starting point is 00:10:47 That was wild. That I was not. I did not see that coming. and that definitely like threw me for a jolt in a way that I hadn't seen coming. I think slipping on spaghetti with a ladder to the face was pretty rough. So the one I said, right? Oh, yeah, that's, yeah, that's pretty bad. I mean, that's spaghetti.

Starting point is 00:11:04 I'm also, I'm quite surprised that we didn't get a Tony Todd, like, on-screen appearance physically here. I'm surprised by that. And it wasn't just that he got- Swipping in the shower was also bad. Oh, when he was stuck with the neck, yeah. Yeah, and it wasn't just that he got the eye, the thing through the eye. Obviously, he was already dead at this point. I just ripped the thing through it out of his, yeah, yeah, totally.

Starting point is 00:11:30 Oh, my goodness gracious. It was insane and awesome at the same time. But yeah, it was definitely, I was sad and that we didn't. I mean, I was glad we got his voice, at least in this one. It was sad not to see the character in the movie, but so glad we got the voice. That or just exploding grill? I think the pervert dude kind of got it off easy because he died with. I'm not realizing he died.

Starting point is 00:11:50 Yeah. Yeah, because we just saw his middle finger come up in the car in front. You just figured that was just some random, you know, person and then come to find out. That was shocking, though.

Starting point is 00:12:01 It was not expecting that to be him. I like that, though. Just making sure I didn't list any, miss any sort of potentially juicy deaths. But yeah, yeah, I guess that's what I got for right now. I'm like, yeah, I feel like that was the most memorable one. Obviously, the lag one, the log ones are memorable. I mean, Claire's too,

Starting point is 00:12:18 but I knew once she left. that hospital room. She was a goner, but she was such a... I was sad for Cleaver. Yeah, I was sad. I mean, not sad for Ian. He's a douchebag. But, I mean, sad for most of the people. The one, oh, the woman who was going up in the elevator and she got like...

Starting point is 00:12:32 Her head. That one was pretty rough. That was barely rough. That's pretty scary in terms of like the experience of that would be all of these would be awful, but that one like as imagining yourself in those shoes and how drawn out that is of her

Starting point is 00:12:49 head sticking out and like them trying to get her out of the right that's yeah like that was pretty harsh in terms of just the vibe and i'll say this too for us as an audience besides the one being like the subversion of expectations with the hand in the the the garbage disposal oh yeah the one with the in the dentist where we thought something was going to happen that was freaking me out and then obviously the glass and then the glass panel smushed him i like i prefer the the glass panel death over iian's death in this one oh yeah yeah yeah yeah the glass panel definitely it's just the way that dummy crumbled it was like

Starting point is 00:13:21 smushed very striking very striking unforgettable yeah there's definitely been some memorable one so for sure

Starting point is 00:13:28 yeah but that that premonition though was I mean all three premonitions have been just really quick before we get into our thoughts did you guys have

Starting point is 00:13:36 any particular premonition of the three I don't know if you're gonna I guess you count the subway one too but was there one that stuck out to you for me it's still two

Starting point is 00:13:44 too too strong I feel like one was still very shocking. But the log into the face was unforgettable. You mean which movie has the most shocking set pieces? Like the opening, right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:59 Yeah, the opening. The opening premonition. That one just stuck with me the most. I loved them all. They're all great, but that one stuck with me. Because one is the most I mean, the one and two is the most mundane and seems like the most plausible to just happen on the day to day. The other two, you have to go specifically.

Starting point is 00:14:15 The other two, you have to pay admission. to die or pay for a ticket rather i feel like the roller coaster is still pretty well grounded because it's just a thing that is still a commonplace thing it's still really smart because like everybody most people go on the freeway part two most people have been on a plane part one and then most people have gone on a roller coaster i think they're all pretty grounded but yeah uh i think some people have never been in planes though i've like the yeah like the one that's the most common will probably be just being in a car because that's part of most places in America's day-to-day is riding in cars.

Starting point is 00:14:51 Yeah, I feel like of the openings, I mean, the first movie definitely pulled me in. And I think it as like, it's weird, because they both have both, this one may be less in a way than the other. Maybe just because I'm used to it now. The first two struck me as this weird balance of, yeah, like you have like this wacky teen comedy dialogue. And then all of a sudden a very serious, tense, wreck sequence. and I remember thinking especially for the time like the plane crash was really intense and really well done

Starting point is 00:15:22 I think the second movie opening does successfully up the ante in a way that lures you in like it has I feel like everything in part of three is a little faster and a little more compact and I feel like the first movie obviously is setting the tone for the whole thing and the second one that prologue felt like

Starting point is 00:15:40 okay we're doing bigger and badder as we do in sequels and I remember thinking like man the way we're like jumping around to these different cars and kind of establishing you know these people who seem unlikely to be together was also a fun dynamic and then once the chain reaction of the logs falling and everything else like like that one really felt I think like okay freak accident that's in a place we all go to but also like the chain reaction the Rube Goldberg quality was probably the most kick in there I think I think probably too for me yeah i probably agree with you should we check yes i'm sorry sorry no yeah because again two is the most plausible because we all ride on the freeway

Starting point is 00:16:24 yeah especially here in illay yeah seriously we like live on the freeway i was gonna say should we we've gone to a lot of discussion by let's check in on our feelings how are we feeling how are we feeling johnald i feel i feel great i feel grateful to be alive this was really fun i had a fun time with this movie

Starting point is 00:16:42 i look forward to these because uh the They give in a similar way to like the fun of a saw movie. You know, they give you that sort of squirmy kind of fun, except these movies obviously are a little lighter in tone than a saw movie, even though saw movies can be fun. You know, these are these teen, again, they have this like teen ranch element meets. Yeah, like crazy death trap motif. And I liked, I don't know, like I feel like these have been pretty.

Starting point is 00:17:14 consistent with each other thus far i think it's you know probably not too hard to come up with what a ranking would be for any individual viewer but like this one uh continued the fun that i've been expecting out of this franchise you know it was a blast uh just to see what they could come up with and i do like that this one uh each of these has had a different pitch and flavor of drama I hesitate to say because the first movie certainly kind of I think the most comprehensively

Starting point is 00:17:48 hones into the survivors guilt the shared trauma that will later become a theme it's in all these movies but the first one felt like once the accident happened there was a real tangible and unified feeling Paul that was cast over everything the second

Starting point is 00:18:04 movie has a bit more wild and wacky of a tone after the pro like in the first movie there's still the teen ranch elements after the prologue but i felt like the movie kind of coalesced after the prolog in a nice way the second movie is like a tonal roller coaster in a very fun way um and then this one you know i i say would i would assert is like yeah the most streamlined it still has like a lot of the core tenets of the franchise that you've come to expect and i did think that this one partly because mary elizabeth winstead is such a committed and talented actor that she can

Starting point is 00:18:38 sell almost anything um you know i had no idea she was the lead of this movie and i thought she did a terrific job and i thought that this one in some ways like i really liked her and not her boyfriend i liked the two of ryan merriman yeah ryan merriman of smallville fame i i liked the two of them together and i liked the um way that they grounded the movie and i liked their um expression of yeah the guilt and the anguish and the sort of bargaining with the situation and the you know the whole thing about like should we even attempt to figure out how we're going to go should we even try it out smart this thing do I even want to look at the pictures and I thought the picture motif was pretty nice you know not necessarily expounding heavily on the mythology but I don't think you necessarily always have to like the second one also had that kind of thrill of like ooh and now we're trying to figure out if we can usurp the order like what happens if we force a baby who was supposed to die to be born you know um but you Yeah, I mean, this was still, I think, had all the kicks and thrills that you want out of one of these movies. It had a lot of fun, squirmy deaths, maybe a little less drawn out than the previous ones, which doesn't, like, hurt it.

Starting point is 00:19:53 In some ways, I'm like, you could have drawn some of these out even further for me. But still, there was a lot of memorable kills and stuff. Well, hello again, Hewle, H-U-E-L, today's video sponsor. Lately, I've been loving talking about Hewle because I've used it as an excuse to give you guys updates on my fitness journey. Back in January of this year, I was 218 pounds. Last time I weighed myself, I'm down to 179, but this time I decided to take a fancy picture. Close to the mirror. Good lighting.

Starting point is 00:20:19 And I did have to flex, but I'm making progress. I'm almost at the six-pack. Look at it. Almost at the six-pack. It's almost 40 pounds down, and one of the biggest game changers for me has easily bit. I staying consistent with healthy go-to meals, such as Hewles, Black Edition, ready to drink. As a matter of fact, I just shot a video with Anne. Andrew and Aaron this morning, both came without having had any breakfast.

Starting point is 00:20:42 And, of course, they were hungry. First thing they did, they got themselves a hule in the office fridge, baby. Because I bought plenty. It's a complete meal in a bottle, man, it is tasty. It's packed with over 35 grams of protein, 27 vitamins of minerals, slow-release carbohydrates, and low sugar, plus fiber. No prep, no cleanup, just grab it, go, shoot a reaction or whatever else you do. Yeah, whether I'm filming, working out, or frankly, too tired to cook, which is pretty much every day, this bottle's been a lifesaver. That actually tastes good, too. My favorites are like the main ones, the chocolate and the vanilla, but I also really do like their strawberry banana. I also got iced coffee. And when in doubt, you could always go with a variety pack if you don't know which one you want. And at under five bucks a meal, it's top my routine and my budget. And now to be able to provide for the host here. He was already sold over 500 million worldwide. And if you're looking to eat better, stay on track. Or just stop skipping meals.

Starting point is 00:23:35 before i go to well very well said before i go to aaron just because it literally just popped up i oh because of her hair i did not even recognize mary uh was it mary elizabeth lincoln is that supposed to be her that's her on the front left she didn't her ride in the front in the movie no and also

Starting point is 00:23:51 it's to show her fear that she's right yeah she didn't want to be in the front she got a front row seat for death yeah and that's him i didn't recognize him with his hair like that either yeah yeah that's a great poster shot and oh and you see freddie in the Yeah, you see Freddy's hat. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:24:06 Anyways, Aaron, real roomy. How are you feeling, buddy? I'm feeling as good as you can watching one of these. But overall, you know, this movie is still fun. I especially have a blast watching him with you, too. Yeah, I think this one still maintains that level of fun and intrigue. And obviously, we've had the first one established what these movies are. I feel that this one is not.

Starting point is 00:24:34 the strongest out of the three i don't think it's terrible by any means but i feel like because the way that the deaths were constructed and the way they played with your anxieties and anticipation for it to just go a completely different direction that you weren't uh considering was done a lot stronger in the first or in the second movie because i feel like they played with that in the first movie and then they realized in the second movie oh this really works let's do more of that and though they did try to do that with some of the deaths here i felt like it was just the way that it was executed didn't hit as hard wasn't as punchy within this one that said i feel like mary elizabeth would said was a a great lead i feel like she brought a level of of heart

Starting point is 00:25:19 humanity to this character and maybe part of that is her performance part of that is knowing her just beyond this role and like what we've become accustomed to from our from her uh filmography but I think, you know, this being a horror movie, I feel like she rises above, you know, with the standard of what we are accustomed to for these films. Yeah. But yeah, but some of the deaths in this one, uh, even kind of made me laugh, which is, like, yeah, it was so funny. These films are self-aware.

Starting point is 00:25:50 It was funny seeing the difference in reaction to the, the football player dying, because, like, they just smashed his head, and I thought that was hilarious. And you guys were both horrified. Um, because I just, it was just kind of comical to me. me it just like felt like something out of a cartoon but i mean it is a lull like the timing is is kind of hilarious like it reminds me of that cut there's a cut in the director's cut of midsamar where you cut from like a a plate of food or something like literally to a face being smashed with a hammer and it's like it's shocking and it is graphic but also it's like

Starting point is 00:26:26 hilarious and after the whole fake out with the swords you're like who who thump you know like it's it is like it is silly they did that on purpose but yeah i'm still having a blast with these movies even if this wasn't my favorite one but i think that um yeah it's just i'm still engaged i'm still excited to see what the rest have to offer i think i was just missing against some of that plot uh connectivity between the first and second one because this one's wholly separated except for referencing those events but also the intrigue and the development and the furthering of the mythology that's a great point that the first two had kind of built upon this one just kind of like a standalone thing yeah but yeah

Starting point is 00:27:15 overall it was fun um and i look forward to seeing more interesting ways people can be taken out by uh the petty bitch that is death oh she's on uh Amanda crew is on Silicon Valley oh there you go You discovered it. You discovered it. I'm happy. I'm happy. I know I've seen your face a bunch. But yeah, I was kind of expecting like, not that they have to and not that there's a million things you could do. But the second one seemed intent on being like, we're going to expand the lore of how this all works. And this one has some interesting takes on how to interpret death's plan. But it's not as much of a sort of like, ooh, here's a new expansion on the lore or anything like. Definitely. Yeah. I will say like I still really enjoy to. specifically these two characters. I thought their chemistry was great. I really enjoyed their interactions. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, that one scene where she was,

Starting point is 00:28:08 you know, really pouring her heart out to her sister with the bracelet. I mean, she killed it in all her scenes, but specifically that scene, again, really stood out to me.

Starting point is 00:28:17 And I really was connected to her and her performance. And I thought that was the, again, the heart of the film was her. And again, and Ryan Merriman, I was just,

Starting point is 00:28:27 I was really connected to them. I thought that was, besides the elaborate death, which is obviously what we and the you know how inventive they can be like and the suspense like that's obviously what we for a big part of why we come to watch these movies but it's the characters for me like in a horror film I want to be able to care about the about the characters and I can honestly say for those two I for sure really cared about them and didn't want anything to happen so I I think from that perspective the film definitely succeeded I completely agree with what you were both saying in regards to

Starting point is 00:28:54 I love that the second film again with building off you know the world build the lore of the world building of the first film. I love the way they connected it there. I'm not saying you always have to do that but in regards to the plot, I thought that was one of the strong choices. I really do love how James Wong when he came back and he is the writer. He was the writer and director of the first film.

Starting point is 00:29:13 And he made it a personal choice to say only go for the events of the first film and never talk about the events of the second. They reference it. Oh, did they? Yeah, they reference a long thing. Oh, did they mean? The reference one more. Okay, okay. I thought I must have missed it.

Starting point is 00:29:29 Okay, because I thought that was a personal choice he made. So I would have thought that was funny. It's like, I just remember the film I directed. I must have totally missed it. I was probably just too busy with Smallville references. It was like a news article kind of thing. Oh, but did they actually say it out loud or no? I remember that they showed a visual representation of it, but I don't remember if they said it.

Starting point is 00:29:49 Okay, because I was probably just listening for it. There's more lip service paid to Flight 180. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's why I was probably like looking for. and I was just, I thought that was a funny choice, but which is, it's fine, I would have accepted it, but being the director of the first film, but yeah, again, I don't know, there were, there were definitely times where I thought the film built up the suspense as good as the first two, but I don't know if it was, like you said, Aaron, I don't know if it was as strong as those films for sure. Having said all that, I still had a great time. The film was extremely entertaining. And I do love how it played off the thing and I assume the other films are going to do it too. And I was just, my best guess was you know the roller coaster song like we got with the john at the john denver the flight song and then the the highway to hell i love when they did that theme it's it's just a fun it's a fun thing to play off of but they only did it one time where i think in the the the john denver one that

Starting point is 00:30:43 was played multiple times but they chose a day they played roller coaster yeah with the girls at the bg song instead that that there's someone behind you that like whatever that song is that that that's the song they chose to be the yeah song here yeah i will say too for ryan merriman's character i'm glad because i mean obviously we know like i'm assuming there could have been a romantic you know possibility between the two of them but i'm glad they didn't choose to go that route you know hit her especially her being in a vulnerable position like i think it just shows like what an upstanding person he is because also his girlfriend was planning to break up with him i was what was the point of them adding that you mean her saying that she was going to break up with yeah just

Starting point is 00:31:24 Just in some extra, yeah, juice, I guess. Whether that's in there or not, I'm glad, like, that's why I was all, I mean, not that I wouldn't have rooted for him if he would have gone after. But I think it just, again, it shows the type of class that he has as a person. Like, they're both in extremely vulnerable positions. They're dealing with grief. Like, he easily could have done that. And I appreciate that they didn't go that tropey route. So, without being writ large about it, I like their relationship.

Starting point is 00:31:49 And I do, I did like that, yeah, there wasn't even like a big hint at like, oh, are they going to get together? They could have went that way And I'm glad they didn't There's two people in this situation together And the fact that she doesn't even tell him Like I think is kind of I appreciate in a movie like this When they let a nuance hang

Starting point is 00:32:05 Well, to play devil's advocate on that I don't feel like it would have been him Taking advantage of her Because they both lost somebody You know So there'd be two people bonding over grief And the people that they have both lost Yeah I mean you did have that one moment

Starting point is 00:32:18 Where he grabbed her Not grabbed her but he put his hand on her knee It was more of like a comforting situation where her other knee had guts on it so he was gonna well the thing is like with what they give you here they could easily go that route and it wouldn't feel weird because the way that the the the way that they're written and the way the two performers behave you know really sells like a genuine feeling yeah we're in this together now thing and and yeah like when uh that remark comes around him being like oh you know who you actually do care like you know what am i to you yeah yeah uh

Starting point is 00:32:53 You know, like, that could have easily been a fulcrum that could have led to a charming, like, oh, you do like each other. And it's just as valid that they didn't. And I think it was kind of nice to have a thing like that that could easily be both and justifiably so. For sure. And, yeah, I think what I'm trying to say is there definitely was romantic tension there. But I appreciate, too, like, that he respected his friend enough to not pursue that. He had dibs in life. He has dibs so after death.

Starting point is 00:33:20 That's right, baby. So, hey, I like that he made his friend, even though it was only on the roller coaster right, as she alluded to. I like that he made his friend a promise that he would protect her. And, you know, he's stuck by that principle. He had a moral compass. And I like that about him. He's a good guy. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:33:36 I have a good guy. Hey. I have the Rotten Tomatoes up. Oh, oh, you already had that. Did you look it up? I didn't look it up. I just added the tab to it. Did you look it up?

Starting point is 00:33:44 I have not. No. Okay. That's y'all's territory, man. I'm not stepping on toes. Well, critics, they're not going to give these kind of movies a high score. I'm going to go 38%. For critics?

Starting point is 00:33:55 38%. Donald, what are you doing with? Critics. 24. 24. That's what you're locking in both of you? Yeah. Okay.

Starting point is 00:34:03 What about audience? Audience. I've been highballing these lately. 75. I'm going to go 65. What did I say again for critics? 38, 30-something. I said 38 and 65.

Starting point is 00:34:20 All right. Both y'all were. too low and too high. That's okay. Critics. 44%. Oh, 6%. I'm pleasantly, okay. I'm pleasantly surprised. I will happily be wrong. I'm pleasantly surprised. Yeah, no, I prefer to be wrong on that end.

Starting point is 00:34:34 Too low. And the audience is, John, what did you say? I said 75. I said 65. You said 75. You said 75. You said 55. 65. It was like in the 80s. John flipped those numbers and you'd be correct. 57. And I said, I said 65. So you win that one.

Starting point is 00:34:51 Well done. I'm surprised. I'm surprised a little bit. Color me shocked. I'd be curious. Okay, now I've got to go back and see what the audience scores were for the previous one. If I'm going to track, because I was going to say, if two and one have higher audience scores than this, I suppose it makes sense to me. I feel like this is a very well-liked franchise, so I'm kind of surprised it's as low as it is.

Starting point is 00:35:14 Yeah, I think we guessed number two. Do you remember your guess is number two? Like 80 something? I don't remember. for audience I'm just telling it because it's not this movie 51 for audience

Starting point is 00:35:25 for critics 58 for audiences I would see that yeah those both surprised me I would have thought the audience would definitely be a little bit higher

Starting point is 00:35:32 but what do you so quickly what do you guys think of the budget was for this film oh okay last one I think was like 20 million

Starting point is 00:35:41 so I'm going to say I'm going to say 30 million because we had two big set pieces um golly that's a good guess I'll say 40 just because 40 million. So it was 40 and 30?

Starting point is 00:35:56 25 million. Hey. Not bad. Okay. Not bad. I can see how this wouldn't be as expensive. Worldwide box office. It was, was it a minute before they made the final destination?

Starting point is 00:36:10 It's two years. No, three years. Three years. This must have done well enough. $25 million budget would it make like $130 million worldwide? Let me go one. 20 no go 110 700 million no should have stayed with your first one oh i said a 120 120 11818 million 890 272 you were literally about a million you were about a million off

Starting point is 00:36:38 i'll take that one i'll take that one always go at your first gas you're probably not going to trivia we've been here a while and it's kind of late but um yeah any final thoughts guys just that i'm sad there won't be trivia oh what do you want me to read Do you guys want? No, it's okay. Aaron has, Aaron has called the game on account of

Starting point is 00:36:56 Aaron's tired. On account of, if you guys are true, I'm, I'm with it if you guys want to do trivia. I'll do three really quick. Comment below if you want us to do have done trivia on this video. I'll do three really quick.

Starting point is 00:37:07 All right. Final Destination three. Three for final destination. That's appropriate. Tony, Tony Todd, who betrayed William Bloodworth and Final Destination and Final Destination 2 provides the voice of the devil

Starting point is 00:37:18 above the entrance to the roller. He also provides the speaker voice saying this is the end of the line in the subway towards the end of the film. I knew that was him. All right, he's here. We're good. We're good. He's here. The cast members on the roller coaster had to ride it 26 times on the same night in order to shoot the film's main premonition scene. Gosh darn.

Starting point is 00:37:40 The ingenuity, I mean, it was nicely shot. It was. Still creative out here and I appreciate it. The scene taking place in the tanning booth was a closed set. Only the camera operator and director were present with Shailan Simmons and Yan K. Crystal Lowe and blackout curtains were hung to keep the scene

Starting point is 00:38:00 private. Good. Still weird. Still weird. Still weird. Still weird wiggly scene. There was 17 and sad boobies out. Why? I guess. Oh, yeah, you're right. Everyone looks so much older than what age they're supposed to be.

Starting point is 00:38:15 Oh, they're almost 18. Yeah, that's right. Oh, I retroactively don't love that. I wasn't really thinking about it at the time, but also, uh, oh,

Starting point is 00:38:30 yeah. Well, this was a fun one. Yeah, no, I was a fun movie. I'm really enjoying the series a lot. I'm excited to continue.

Starting point is 00:38:40 Bring on more. Yes, bring them on. Does Elizabeth Winston deserve a better photo for the front of this movie? That's a whole other person. I still think it fits in with toned of these films.

Starting point is 00:38:51 I didn't realize that was her. We're looking at that for three videos now. I had no idea that was her. It's a good poster, but somehow her face looks like another person. Yeah. And the hair. Anyways, guys, what did you think of Final Destination 3? Let us know what your ranking of the orders are thus far of the three.

Starting point is 00:39:10 If you want to do the whole thing, that's fine too. But what did you think of this film? We'd love to hear and make sure you join us for, is it the final destination? The final destination? The final destination. We will be posting that most likely one week from today, so be sure to be on the lookout, and

Starting point is 00:39:26 we'll see you then. Be safe. Bye. John. Yes. How would Riley Peterson die in Final Destination World? Okay, Riley Peterson, right? He's at a dog park, and as he walks into the dog park,

Starting point is 00:39:44 we see a thing that says, uh, bones. There's like an advertisement for bones. So maybe that's foreshadowing. So he walks into the dog park. Sure. And he lets his dog off the leash. But the

Starting point is 00:39:58 dog, he lets the dog off the leash, but the dog takes off before he can get the leash off the dog. So the dog is just trailing this loose leash all across the dog park. And what we also realize is that Riley brought a picnic basket for himself. And when the dog yanks

Starting point is 00:40:14 the leash off the picnic basket, like, you know, gets all caught up in the leash and it dumps the food all over Riley. Now he's covered in bacon and bacon grease. And so there's the dogs like running all around the park and like greeting the other dogs. Well, no, the leash, the leash like it gets caught on a sprinkler from the sprinkler system. It rips a sprinkler off, causing a geyser to erupt from the middle of the dog park. And then there's a bunch of other people at the dog park there too who are like not paying attention

Starting point is 00:40:47 because you go there to let your dog off the leash. so you can use your phone in peace for a while. And people start to look up. And then, you know, the dog is trailing like this big pipe now, hanging off the leash. And then all of a sudden it's like knocking people over, people dropping their phones into the dog park grass, and it's all getting wet because of the water.

Starting point is 00:41:08 And then the phone's short out, though. You think the phone's going to go electrocute everybody, but they don't. It's a mislead. What really happens is Riley goes then to the water fountain that dogs are supposed to drive. drink out of because this whole thing is like really intense and it's making it his mouth parched. And so Riley takes a drink and all of a sudden, you know, there's a mobile dog

Starting point is 00:41:33 grooming truck that's approaching while all this is happening. But because of all the spraying water, it gets water sprayed across the windshield. And so the driver can't see and the driver's losing control of the car. And then the car flips over and it goes all the way toward the dog park and it flips and we think it's going to crush Riley but it doesn't it lands right behind Riley on top of a couple of other people and then Riley explodes wow and that's how it happened final destination and he turns into a pile of bones because that was the foreshadowing from the top because what happened oh somebody accidentally pierced the engine of the dog washing van with a bone a dog bone causing that explosion that then

Starting point is 00:42:19 engulfed Riley and now Riley is not but a pile of bones left over all right well done I am death destroyer of worlds
