Join Aaron Alexander, Andrew Gordon & John Humphrey as they race through the chilling return of the Final Destination series with Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025), directed by Zach Lipovsky & Adam Stein (Freaks) and written by Guy Busick & Lori Evans Taylor. College student Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana, The Friendship Game) has premonitions tied to her grandmother’s near-tragic past and returns home to uncover a horrifying pattern targeting her family’s descendants. The film introduces a gripping ensemble: Charlie Reyes (Teo Briones, Chucky) and Erik Campbell (Richard Harmon, The 100)—the tattoo-artist cousin whose gruesome MRI death ranks among the franchise’s most talked-about kills. Bobby Campbell (Owen Patrick Joyner, Julie and the Phantoms) meets his end via a spring-launched vending machine, while Darlene (Rya Kihlstedt, Obi‑Wan Kenobi) is bisected in a lamp-post trap.

Our hosts dig into the film’s inventive Rube-Goldberg death sequences, the emotional family bonds tested by fate, and the standout callback-filled ending that ties back to the original 2000 disaster.

Thank you again, straight air, for partnering up with us yet again i think i've spoken enough let's get into the film final destination bloodlines let's commence great uh-huh memory of tony tarp the legend oh he's he still did great in that in that scenes go out yeah it was a phenomenal you could tell too and how in awe those actors were to be in his presence in that scene. Oh, yeah. Oh, man.

It's going to say, and uncanny, you know, I don't know what all of the surrounding circumstances were of his death, but I can't imagine they would have, like, had an idea. So, like, some of that, just the, it's well within his character. But, yeah, some of the stuff he's saying really feels like, man, this is you saying goodbye. Yeah, for sure. It's fascinating.

Anyways, guys, we just did final. Or we just watched Final Destination Bloodline. We did it. We survived Final Destination Bloodlines. Interesting. Their names are kind of like crooked. Yeah. Yeah.

If you are watching this on YouTube, it's because the fine folks over at Preper, they edited down those highlights and did a fantastic job. So we appreciate all their hard work. Absolutely. Also, if you are listening on Apple or Spotify, please give us five-star ratings. we would appreciate it.

Well, as we always do, if you are a royal reject, you get to ask us some questions. So we're going to get into that and then see how we're feeling as we're checking that out. So, John, do we have those ready? We do. I'm just trying to see where we should begin, but we actually have a very solid turnout for questions here.

Whoa. It's got to say, after watching that, I can imagine a lot of questions. I'm going to start out with this one, just because I think it's funny. Uh, Haseana Ali. Thank you for the question.

Thanks for kicking us off today. This one is, uh, particularly for one of us. Uh, how could Andrew, um, forget the Tony Todd was in an episode of smallville?

I, I mentioned it in the first, I thought I mentioned in the first, uh, final destination film that he was in smallville. Um, go back and look. I'll have to rewatch,

I'll have to rewatch unless it was edited. Because guys remember, unless you can tell me that it was on, the Patreon. That is a patient question, so they would have saw it. Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, if you watch the full-length watch along,

if it didn't make it into the highlights, go timestamp it. Yeah, just let me know, but I'm pretty sure I mentioned it, but I don't remember everything I do or say on these, but if you didn't mention it, you are fired from final destination. He played the character of Earl in season one,

was it? Oh, which episode was it was a, I remember it was, I think the episode was called jitters, if I'm not mistaken, where he's like, oh, jittery. It was a great episode.

But yeah, of course I know Tony Todd, but I'm sorry if I, I don't know why I would forget to mention Tony Todd. That's such an obvious one. So my apologies. My apologies. You were right to ostracize me if I did forget that. So apologies. It's all right, Andrew. We should forgive you and we love you. All right.

Michelle R has this to say. Thank you, Michelle. Rest in peace to the great Tony Todd. Absolutely. Yes. And I mean, you know, for, yeah, he's looking real skinny in this movie. so I can only imagine what was going on but like he's very present

in that scene and gave a fine performance his performance in this film left me with both a tear in my eye and a chill down my spine that twist was so perfect he will be so greatly missed which of his roles has been your favorites

any of his films you haven't seen that you have on your list that was a good call Andrew at the beginning by the way I mean yeah it was once they showed that they were hiding the kid I figured he had to survive and like how are you going to twist that and connect that into the rest of the series that was just a guess there but it's really cool i thought that was a really cool development of the story i thought that was a really cool choice i mean i got to assume too that the creators and the

writers and whoever was working on this film knew that most of us were thinking like he was death as well yeah so but that was i actually like this this way of using it that he has survived death this whole time so he knows the game better than anyone I think that's a smarter choice than actually just making him the human version of death, just letting people know that there's nothing you can really do. Well, now it sells this idea, at least in my head can of like, I guess he is just like living at the morgue, you know, like stay in the harm's way. That's a good point.

Well, also, too, he knows because he's done the equation, he knows there's all these bloodlines because there were so many people at that skyline that he's supposed to be the last, so he knows he's still got a good long time. Yeah. But, yeah, it's just a fascinating way to tie it together. But in regards to what's my favorite role, I have not seen a ton of Tony Todd films to be quite. I haven't seen Candyman or any.

Man's great. Yeah, I do need to watch that. I would love to react to it one day. I know, I think, have the She Jax reacted to candy. I don't think they have. Okay, well, I would love to react to that. I mean, I would love to do, which one? I want to do Candyman, too.

Yeah, I would, if we could do that one day, it'd be awesome. I don't know if this This isn't kind of as a film performance But I mean I loved him in the flash The episode we obviously in this series And I love them in Spider-Man He's Zoom, the voice of Zoom I loved him in Spider-Man too

He's got an amazing voice It can be terrorizing But also very soft-hearted at times too So he's got that versatility And he's just incredible presence And he's just so versatile And that he can be charming, charismatic And also scary at the same time

i think there's not enough to be said about him but i definitely want to watch more of his stuff that was incredible what he was able to do in just one scene have such a prolonged effect on the rest of the film and in just such a short amount of time so what about you guys are any other roles of his that you stand out to besides these i haven't seen a ton of films tony todd like you um i if i have seen another stuff outside of final destination and film i can't remember member right now, but I thought he was great as Zoom in Flash. And he's awesome as Venom. And he's awesome

in these films. So, yeah, that's the extent of my Tony Todd knowledge. I'm so sorry. I loved him in the crow. He's in the... He's in the Crow. In the Brandon Lee Crow movie. He's one of the henchmen of the main villain. Of Top Dollars, he's one of Top Dollar's henchmen. I totally

forgot he's in these. He's got glasses. And I totally forgot. He's great in the crow. I love him than that. I've watched the Crow. Yes, you reacted. I go check that. Go check that. check out that reaction he's great and uh i mean i think candy man is hard is i feel like the one a lot of people will point to and that's certainly like what comes to my i mean you know he's fun in hatchet um he's fun in you know i'm going to go with he's in an episode of psych and that made me so happy uh so you know and to see him in a you know a slightly more sort of humorous

uh setting but also kind of playing off of his persona and all that stuff i think is really fun but uh golly i'm trying to think of a good deep cut i what i want to do is watch the remake of night of the living dead because i love the original movie that's like a classic movie that i really do enjoy um and i've heard good things about the one that tom savini directed and and actually being reminded uh that he's the star of that movie has me actually like really kind of chomping at the bit um to go check it out but yeah he's in an episode of Syke where I think it's the one where we meet Gus's Barbershop Quartet and

Simey years. Sike has a lot of horror movie love and it's a show that like you know they have a lot of guest actors over time and it's one of those shows that at least from my estimation it feels like you know if you got the invite I'm sure there are a lot of Smallville actors on it as a matter of fact but if you get the invite to do a psych it seems like that's a from what I have seen a fun opportunity for an actor to bring some of their A game that

we associate with him, but also to have like a good amount of fun. And I feel like that was absolutely true of his appearance there. And now I'm going to go back and rewatch that after we're done with this. Speaking of which, I didn't recognize any smallville actors in this, but if there were any, please let me know. Because I do know that there was one I was missing

in at least one in Final Destination 5, which was the actor played Dr. Fade in season 9, I believe was episodes 11, I think, Salvation, or one of those episodes. But you guys let us know if there were any small the actors in this besides Tony Todd, of course.

Oh, yeah. I think he's in tales. He's in Tales from the Hood three. That's right. There's a different guy. Anyway. Yeah. Thank you for the question. That was a good one. And yeah, I mean, like Tony Todd, like, he's in a bunch, a bunch, a bunch of stuff. So, like, if you guys have a deeper cut from his, you know, filmog that you'd like to throw our way, by all means, please.

Absolutely. Do so. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Kev B. Thank you. did any of the film's new death sequences surprise you in terms of creativity or tension yes

yes i got this one stuck with you the most the MRI scene oh my god i think that is that is going to take the case watching the piercings and then seeing it go lower and lower into his private section that guy i got the worst of it yeah it was so yeah twice yes death was like really The first was bad, too. That was quick and shocking. The which one? Grandma through the face. Yeah, dude, that was Narls Barkley.

Oh, yeah. You mean IRIS? Yeah, Grandma Iris. Yeah. And Iris in the premonition with the finger. Yeah. Yeah. And then a lot of good

A lot of good vertical crushes in this movie. And Howard with the, the mower going over his face after stepping in glass. There's so many fun creative. And again, this film just did a good job of playing not only the paranoia of the characters

once they believe, messing with us the audience. I just, I love how they're able to do that. We're just waiting and waiting and thinking something is going to happen and then they subverted in a different way, but in a creative and fun and scary and gruesome way. This film did it really,

really well. 100%. And then I'm going to rope these two questions together because this is a common theme among our Q&A here. Noel Beltran asks, what do you think are your top five final destination deaths bloodlines included and i'm going to include cody g 24 as well thank you both cody g asking what has been y'all's favorite death of the franchise so top five and that number one will be it for you um i can tell you which ones i hated the most like to to look at the lasic one for

sure the that's an early one the one through the eye and final destination too yeah that was pretty bad Oh, the tar coming on. Tar was pretty bad. The MRI one was pretty bad too. What else? Let's see, number five, or I guess we can piece these together as we go. Start talking out loud. Number five.

This should be collective top five. Maybe like the racist guy from. Oh, the tow truck. I'm going to tow truck. If anything that movie gave us that one, but in that movie, the one with the pool. The pool sucking one could have been top five. But suck at five.

It could have been. But suck could be five. I feel like if they executed but suck. That's why. One did. But suck would be. It could be there. It could have been top five.

But suck could be top two. They didn't execute it. If they didn't. The idea was there. But suck gets in at number five because the first half to set up is so good. It's so good. And the payoff is just not as good as the setup. It has you hyped for.

I agree with that. The idea is still is still in 10. So five is butt suck Four I'll put the racist guy Because it's just kind of like funny But also kind of satisfying in a way Three I might put the teacher from the first movie

That was a gnarly It's a nice classic one That was gnarly Very sad and kind of you know Like just the Rube Goldberg meanness of that She got slashed first And then the knives then fell right Is that what happened

Because the first one we watched a while back um golly i guess do we count the the print like the log truck as is that like too many things well does premonition count or a specific person within that long truck thing or just the entire thing can i loophole the log truck in by by using this movie oh my god no okay we'll take the log truck off we'll take the log truck off number two two most gruesome death oh my oh the gymnastics one Gymnastics was nasty that was nasty that was awful all right and then number one MRI machine for right now we're calling recency bias but that was like yeah disgusting and I'll put bonus the LASIC one yeah for your list I mean I that yeah LASIC would be like an easy contender for an argument to get into

my and I saw some comments on that video saying like I made the mistake of watching this movie and one month later, I had a LASIC surgery to do. And I told the staff, there's going to be two or three people here watching. They're like, did you just see the new final destination movie? Like, yes, we've had a few people asking about that.

So, better to be cautious. Okay, because we're going by favorite, right? Not most gruesome? It's favorites. Yeah, favorite deaths of the franchise. Top five deaths, bloodlines included. Okay. I think the guy from five with the boot on his head,

uh that because he was just he was a douche bag so i like that one oh at the massage parlor massage parlor oh yeah yeah it was pretty great um i'll say butt suck for four because you know the idea of it's hilarious um the guy who had his head crushed the black dude got his head crushed i think and also four three or four i think that was three the weights yeah yeah oh yeah with the swords that were there and then the weights crushed him right yeah yes yes that was funny um oh man the teacher has to be number two that that was a really terrifying one because that woman was scared out of her mind and she did such a great job acting wise in that scene actually no i'm taking i'm moving everything down i'm taking um what's the what was the what i say for number

five um uh what did he say five yeah but suck no that was four that was four oh i'm taking buda out I'm taking boot out It's a live ranking Yeah yeah yeah in real time here And Number I think Gymnastics Three gymnastics

This is God Three MR machine is two Okay And I'll say the teacher And one is number one All right Let's just go with that list

That sounds good It's a collective favorites list And Grusoms list Top five Alex Browning Offscreen with the Brick All five slots. Okay. Fine. Six is a lot of through the face. Yeah, we'll go with that one.

That sounds good. That guy had the nip rings too. Didn't he? Yeah. Great question though. Absolutely. I would think to like an interesting one, top five favorite characters. And actually, Resonance Z as well asked one of my favorite things about the Final Destination movies are the fakeouts and the Rube Goldberg style death scene sequences. Now that you've caught up to all the movies, which death scene are seen stick out to you the most. I guess to, we've talked obviously.

this has been a big point of curiosity do you think any of them had a particularly effective fake out oh that's a great one I think that that scene where they were having the family well I'm not gonna cut I had a barbecue or like in mourning

for the for grandma iris again it just it shows it highlights why this film series is so well done just subverting your expectations and way I just like the Pildo of not knowing. And then the way the, the Julie or whatever her name was, like, pretending like she was joking, like, oh, it's a bug.

And I'm like, and then you're waiting and like, you're seeing them bouncing and like that the, the, what was that that was underneath the, the trampoline? The rake. Yeah. Seeing the rake underneath. I mean, there was like, I would say that was a highlighted moment for sure. Like, just thinking upon all the films, I would just say like, just recency bias, that one really stood out to me,

waiting for someone to choke on the glass, but then someone ended up, but then Uncle Howard stepped on it and then mode over. I was the last thing I was expecting. I don't know about you guys. I was expecting someone to just drink it. I think that's the normal. Oh, sure.

Yeah. I think gymnastics is the great thing out for me. That's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah. Because there were so many other factors and that how she actually went out was the last thing I expected. That was not what I was expecting at all.

And I mean, I liked the long game fake out in this one with what was the name Eric or whatever, the guy who got crushed in the MRI machine contextually because you do think like, oh, damn. I guess he does get skipped. you know or he isn't a part of this you know and he gets like a pretty elaborate fake out death scene yeah and then also

too yeah I agree with that and then also too with how Stephanie is that right the main character how she kind of predicts what's going to happen to Eric and then it doesn't happen with the soccer ball and then going into the garbage truck and then it happens to Julia but it's kind of in the background and then they got it like

that was a pretty good fake out as well I thought props to the tanning bed too that was good that was a good one which which the which one was on three three yeah that's a it's a hard one man because there are so many good ones that yeah like we watched a lot of people die yeah we watched a lot of elaborate deaths yeah i'm trying to think back on all of them but i think the thing we can all agree with is death is a mean and evil piece of shit death is a catty bitch yeah so lovely said oh my goodness oh my god how

about that little kid after he walked out this guy that was hilarious that was so mean That was, that was, well, and yeah, that was like a, I'm like, oh, the guy in the elevator. Oh, the old guy in the elevator was rough. And I, and also the garbage, uh, oh, she's getting crushed. That was pretty rough. Was pretty gnarly to watch. That one also had a very hilarious, like the way she gets beaned in the head, knocked into the can and then immediately, like, they, they did a, you know, Rube Goldberg, obviously is like a way you describe a lot of these things, but more so than in some of them. Anyway, this one felt really like it was doing like,

here is the Rube Goldberg machine that we built even beyond just a chain reaction of circumstances or whatever. And I was going to say, there's a fake out in what, two with the girl in the car and the whole thing where it's ultimately like the airbag goes off and she gets her head impaled after like surviving. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, when the firefighters are trying to get her out, right? Yeah, there's some good fakeouts there. that's a really good one actually good call all righty who else do we thank you for the question yeah absolutely um okay let's see gabriel wants to know if you were to write the next installment what would be your idea for the opening premonition disaster i would not have i would not have the

slightest idea that's one thing i appreciate about the series is they're able to constantly surprise me and that is a very big pet peeve of mine i do not particularly like predictability so i really would not have the slightest right now on where they would go we haven't done a boat yet a boat I'm on a boat I haven't done death on a boat yeah we've done a cruise ship that's a lot of people

but maybe a yacht like speed two didn't work we'll make this work okay a boat how about this I think where else we could do it because we've done a bridge we've done the sky view we've done an airplane we've done a freeway

it's the opening of a brand new either public park or like play place and then the ensemble is all children you follow the movie and it's all kids so like oh one of them goes in the ball one goes in they get the premonition and then like

someone gets impaled on a juice box and someone like falls in the ball pit and chokes on a ball it's like final destiny exactly stranger destinations yes they could do it at a zoo or a circus as much as I do not like those places the possibilities an aquarium

yeah where do people see the thing is yeah like this actually was really nice because like the opening of a restaurant

the opening of some kind of attraction and two to go into the 60s or whatever that was and to have it be like oh you know the restaurant of tomorrow

was another I think they're good at picking like yeah big group activities that you know like anybody could end up in going on a flight or driving on the freeway

or going on a roller coaster, you know, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I think cruise ship's a good one. Yeah, cruise ship would be really good, actually. I was going to say, where you can get a lot of people. Oh, my God. Or a redux of flight 101, 80, take it to the future to a spaceship. Spaceship, final destination.

Holy shit, though. That would be interesting. Oh, my God. They go up into space, they go up to the space station. Yeah. And then, like, the chain reaction starts on Earth, but then finishes on the moon.

That would be nuts. Or whatever. I was going to say, I feel like, I feel like my perfect, you know, opening sequence will come to me as we chat further or as I have time to reflect on these. But I think these would be very fun. And I believe we had one more question or comment or concern. And thank you guys for the sheer amount of enthusiasm here. Thank you so much. Okay, doke.

Let's see. Some Johnny. Sam Joani, I hope I'm getting you right. Thank you for the question. Do you believe that things are predestined to happen, or are we really in control of our own futures and fates? And if you were given information, oh, water park. Oh, water park.

My prologue is water park. I was thinking water park. Volcano. Like an explorer or something. We're on tour in a volcano. Yeah. No, you're in a national park. They're looking at an active volcano.

No, shit goes down. Yes. Anyway, do you believe that things are predestined happen or do we, or we really are in control of our own futures and fates? And if you were given information of your own possible future, like your death, do you think knowing and looking for it everywhere is what would actually bring it to fruition? It's all about fate and free will. Yeah.

That's a great one, too. I, that's a great question because I think, you know, there is that the movie, the story of the time machine always strikes me as, like. like a particular instance of this. I'm sure a lot of stories and perhaps stories before that have done this. But yeah,

that idea that like the harder you work to prevent whatever end you think is in sight, like you're just going to lay the tracks for it to get to you. Right. God, I have no idea.

Because two, in these movies, when they think it's over, usually there is like a time jump or a gap where they're like, it's been fine for a few weeks anyway, you know, and I'm not even thinking about it. So maybe you do kind of manifest it somehow.

That's definitely. letting them have their guard let down but I don't I mean I have no idea if there's a predestined fate or not I think it's I think it's fun to imagine

like maybe like life's multiple choice you know like certain during certain paths you make certain decisions dictate yeah your uh your death later on the line like death

will remember this you pick up a cup instead of a fork or something or I don't know any number of things you decide to go out one day instead of staying in and dictate the course of events of your life.

Small things. Yeah. I guess for me it would be that. It's kind of like maybe not a direct line to fate, but it's like each choice that you make opens up a new like few roads next. And whichever one of those you take opens up a couple potential roads

next, you know, and there can be an aspect of fate to that, I believe, but I think it's kind of an interplay maybe of both. There are some things that are just a given, and we will all wind up dead one day. Unless they make those breakthroughs that we all know are coming and, you know, any day now. And in regards to the second part of the question, like, if we knew that there was a certain date or like if we could prevent it or not, like, I thought the film did a great job of highlighting, like, look at Iris and what she had to do to survive that. And even clear rivers, too.

like look at how they had to basically abandon life and go into you know kind of this state of mind of just everything around me is a present danger and I don't know if it would I mean granted of course you can tie at any which moment but I don't know it doesn't sound like a fun way to live

granted a gruesome way doesn't sound like a fun way to die either but I don't know if like the way I look at it as when it happens, it's going to happen. You know, it's just, it's going to be sad, obviously, for me when it happens. Bill, though I'm not going to remember it because I'm going to be gone. But I just choose to live my life happy and free willed in that sense. And I think I'd be miserable, just even trying to prevent it. So, you know, just, again, taking it from a place of, God forbid, when it happens, it happens.

All right. Final Destination, War Movie. Guys about to step out on the battlefield. has a premonition. And then it's like, oh, shit, I got to save my battalion, and he does. But then it's all, like, in a war setting. So it's, like, extra grim and messed up. Safari.

Safari destination. Final destination vacation. And the last one, I believe we have today, is from Hosena. Scuba diving. Ali, once again, as Kimberly from Final Destination 2 is the only protagonist to survive the franchise. Do you think she should return in a new scene? equal and become the new blood worth Tony Todd and use her knowledge on death to help others. That is a smart marketing technique.

I'd be great with that when we were talking about her during this reaction, that she and I forgot the other character, the sheriff, right? He survived too, right? I believe so. I think so, yeah, that was amazing. Yes, they were the only two. Yeah, they're the only two of the sheriff. Yes, who by the way played Jimmy in the adventures of, what was it, Lois and Clark.

Yeah, I forgot them. I did not mention that. So many Superman cross-overs. I know, I did not mention that. I saw a lot of comments about that. But, yeah, I would, I'd think that'd be a fun and smart way, again, just showing. Because we got to see that with Iris, like, how does someone live with this? Like, after surviving the game of death for so long?

And, like, it'd be interesting to see these two characters. How, I don't know what the time jump would be, because that movie was made, what, in 2000? and three, or was it 2004? The second one? I don't know if the movie took place in that particular year, but again, it would be interesting psychologically

just seeing where they're at. Because we saw where Iris was at 50 years or however long later. So I think psychologically and dramatically because I think that was the strength of this film. So character-wise, I'd be fascinated with that

and just like the world around them and then the characters, how they would react to them and like how people are obviously going to look at them in a crazy way. Did they start a family? There's a lot of different ways

you could do that if you bring those characters back for sure. Well, gang, stray, it's the free form part of the review. I just want to go down the line and, you know, do some overview thoughts,

do some many stray thoughts that you observed about the movie. Yeah, I'll go first. I felt like this was probably the best one, in my opinion. I know we didn't have a question asking us to rank the films themselves,

but I think if I were two in this moment. He doesn't have to if he does don't know. It's a lot. But I will say that for me we're going to go from best to worst. Starting 6, 5, 1, 1, 2,

3, 4. Yeah. Definitely 4 number 1. And then 4 and then 4 again. Yes. I would say I'm probably around that same boat. It's 6 first. I really like five a lot

Yeah I was great five was fantastic six five Five felt like the most of a real movie since the first one And then this felt even more so Yeah six five would say God one two and three are all great I would go with one two just because it set the standard for And like the world building in that one

So I would say six five one Two three four I think is my order six five one 651-2-3-4 Yeah, I think we might have all the same order Yeah Is that your order to Unless John is a contrarian I think so

Also I picked up a stray Thought here from Jackson and Ryan I'm so excited for all of you to see this And just know that the Tony Todd scenes Were mostly improvised What? That is bonkers Now I can buy the box set for this franchise

My favorite list goes FD-165-2-334 so wait wait one more time one Jackson Ryan yeah one six five two three four so pretty much or just with one first I think that's a great film well I think the question will be yeah like

I feel like one is the one that started at all and there are a lot of great things about the first one so I can see anyone ranking it high and I almost feel like sacrilegious considering not ranking it at number one just because none of this would happen without that movie but yeah but that's crazy to know that

Tony Todd improvised that stuff. Yeah. Like that is even more uncanny and it just makes me wonder like how much he knew at the time and, you know, like, it really does seem like they gave him a send off and I don't know if they even knew they were doing it. Yeah. I have to imagine this was his final film credit. And if so, I don't think I've ever seen a better last performance from an actor than this film. Yeah, man. Especially with the meta nature of it because he was going through the answer.

and then he's just like all right this is it i'm done and then walk close screen like great he was saying goodbye to the character almost he was saying goodbye to us the audience like in that moment's why it like it was so heartfelt and sad oh yeah no i mean absolutely and i mean you know tony todd uh you know a huge figure on the you know horror movie convention circuit like really hands on with you know the people who have made you know his legacy what it is aside from his own talent and all that stuff so it seems like he would be the kind of guy to care enough to, you know, give us some kind of, like, yeah, to actually make it feel like he's talking to us and not just, you know, the characters in context. Yeah. And I also want to say,

too, besides the inventiveness and the gruesome deaths in this film, I think the character work in this film, too, is very well done. Like, I was a little frustrated at first with the mom because I thought the whole reason she went away was because she believed in the death curse and all that stuff. But then, like, as they unpack the layers of that and, because I, I was a little bit upset. Wait, what? You abandoned your children and then seeing,

well, she's just a product of the environment that she grew up in. I was like, oh, I understand. I get that. And you see how alienating it is to try and convince people.

Yeah, of course. Of course. And also, too, like, even though we saw the scene with Iris at the beginning and, like, we're on board with Iris, like spending five to 10 minutes

with her, I was going insane. Yeah. So I can understand, like after five, 10 minutes of this is how I feel like, at minimum 18 years growing up in the same roof treating everything as if it's going to like kill you

and then also too you are most likely a pariah with every family and everyone that you meet because you're not likely you are because everyone's like that's the crazy ladies kids like i got to imagine that's not a fun way to exist like that's how everyone is looking at you and also this is how you are being treated at home too yeah the only the only question i leave the movie with even though all the character stuff was great you know this is the first final destination movie that it's not the first one but the one that did it the best in my opinion um i feel like it did this stuff with connecting like like an arc between the family and then having that connection you really cared about them really bought them as a family uh that they really

just were trying to survive but also this this connection to the mom and then this weirdly brings them all together I thought that was great no for sure and I know he used the word a lot but it was extremely heartbreaking when like they finally got their mom back and it was done in such a tighten in such a harmonious way

and of course they go to the gag that you mentioned that they love to do in the series when all seems well boom boom I'm like don't get her off mid sentence yeah yeah and two it's like she was sorry go ahead oh sorry no no go ahead the question was

um yeah i didn't even though the story itself played out well i never understood why the granddaughter was having the premonition now like what was the thing that kicked it off for that to be the thing in the first place maybe death was giving her the dreams and wanted to finally get the grandma so they could finally get i my my guess based on the lore because i i if i have any complaint or if there's anything i think the movie could have done just a little more strong it would be what was her name? Samantha is it Stephanie? Stephanie there you go

the Stephanie character I think they I like that you go from the Prologue premonition sequence right into her waking up from this dream this you know shock in the middle of class and then we see it again I didn't I almost felt like this was a longer movie that got

paired down from this is the longest one I think because this is like an hour and 40 something right So like I almost feel like there was probably more character drama that they had to take out and especially probably from the act one of her story because it feels like the premonition in a time economics sense kind of takes up a lot of act one and it felt like oh my God we're just hopping right into like I'm having these nightmares. I got to go back and find my family and figure out these nightmares.

And so like it didn't I felt like oddly enough she was the one character who felt a little kind of a wash a wash in this vast sea of things and in some ways because she's the protagonist and she's trying to figure this out and she's trying to drive everything yet the movie

kind of a lot's time and focus more in the way you would an ensemble it kind of felt like it wasn't fully supporting her as like the lead of the movie even though she's doing great work and even though like I really bought her performance but there were times where like

she is taking it seriously in the way that like the lead of the movie would and should but i didn't feel like she was quite positioned that way in the actual like film making all the time she was like the person the character with the exciting incident who was telling everybody but yeah i didn't give her like the agency of the protagonist like the other ones did trying to stop things actively even though she's the one who had the most information yeah she's like trying to get people to listen to her for so much of it and then you watch those people go off and not do that

and then reap them you know rewards the punishment of that yes so yeah but but even still I thought like the performers were all really strong and it seemed like they must have done a lot of prep work as a team as a unit to make this you know this

mixed family feel real and even the thing where they reveal the one guy is like half is only their half brother and he's not actually like related to the bloodline was like a fun and interesting thing and I thought that was handled nicely and even like the other brother

who the other cousin who again has this more like childlike presence he doesn't seem like the smartest guy but he's not like cartoonishly dumb no like it feel like they really chose characters and they let everybody a build those characters and also build the rapport with each other and yeah like

it's not taking itself so seriously that it becomes silly in the wrong way but it feels like yeah they successfully found a way to ground this movie and make you, yeah, care and not do like there's a lot of stuff in horror now about grief and I fear that grief, you know, the grief

allegory, as much as horror is like a great place to do that has also become like the prevailing trope of the now where it's like, oh, it's another horror movie where it's grief but it's also personified as something else. And so I thought that they handled the family drama in a way that didn't just feel like, oh, here's

a nifty grief hook we can do. It felt more like, oh yeah, I am actually peering in on this family with a sorted history and even the stuff with grandma felt iris it all like that this movie was reminding me of other stuff in the good

way where you're like oh I bet they took notes from these other movies but they're not just spending their time going look I've seen this other movie but like when you go to her hut part of it feels like you're in some kind of evil dead world or like you know that's when the cameras really start to like kind of mess around and you get this omnipresent feeling

that something's lurking and like death is especially concentrated in here and then you go inside and to me it almost played like because of the way the Blumhouse Halloween's played out I don't love what they did with the bringing Lori back as this like she's been hermitted up and just training for Michael's return this whole time like this was a version of that that I actually bought more and I think that her the way that she yeah I think it's good as of that first Halloween movie but this has like a complete thing where they only have it last a short amount of time and she literally is like you know what I am dying

slowly anyway now for sure let me just show you you know like let me just be the example that you need and i thought that was a very striking you know moment to push things off with and a way to do a trope of the now without even having to do it because it's not like she's like a returning character from the actual legacy of the franchise but they're doing this trope of like all the the final girl has like grown up and lived her whole life you know in reaction to this you know particularly traumatic event and I thought that was yeah used nicely and then to double down

on that they bring the mom back after being estranged and in that Halloween movie there's the same kind of thing where she's like mom you've been ruining our lives with Judy with Judy Greer and in those movies it feels a little bit like I don't feel like this is pitched quite right like I get why you would feel this way but blah blah blah

in this version I brought that I bought that more too I was like I get why knowing what your mom passed down to you would alienate you from your family and why you would ultimately feel like, you know what, I can't, I can't not live my life this way and see what I see, but also I can't keep inflicting this on you. So, you know, and then the roundaboutness of the timeline. Like, to me, it felt like the Stephanie character was experienced this, experiencing this partly just because I'm sure whoever was next on the list

above her family tree is gone or whatever, you know, and so now death is hopping over to this other tree. I don't know. Yeah. And also, too, it's a supernatural film, but now that we're talking about her more and also iris has cancer known as you know she's dying also could be too that that it's death is now coming for her and that's why she's getting these premonitions it's just like it's a supernatural film so you just i bought it i was fine with it i mean if they would have explained it great if not it's final destination i don't know she gets her medication or how she got her medication i mean you can order her talk you could yeah oh he said how iris gets her medication? Yeah. Oh, he said

in the scene? Yeah, he says something about, like, I try to help her with whatever medicine I could get my hand there. Even my, you know, even what I have access to, you know, isn't going to do the trick. Because she can't go see a doctor. I was going to say too, you can always order online nowadays but also, I guess you would need a doctor,

but that makes sense. She would need the world's longest, like, secure transfer box. Like, they have at a gas station convenience store. Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that. That makes a really long like arm. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Do you guys have any final thoughts before we, I have it loaded up and ready before we get into Rotten Tomatoes, budget, box office, and then I'll just do a really quick few trivia stuff.

Just in closing, this was really well done. Great. Really well done on the cinematography. Nice, nicely done on the editing. And love the period piece opening. I thought that was a great twist. Love the way they used the lore and made something that felt fresh but well within the boundaries of this franchise. And it's weird because you see something like this and you're like,

we're back but also I'm like part of the charm is that it's been a minute you know not for us in this journey but for you know the franchise and so I am excited very much to see more but I hope they really take their time to cook us up something that again this is a idea you can do so much with so I feel like yeah this felt fresh and this felt like a new coat of paint and it felt like it really had a lot of zap and inspiration and all the actors the way that one guy with the piercings was just like really chill and like throwing his lines away like way more natural than you would ever expect from this franchise and yet no less fun, you know,

and I really applaud what they were able to do for a part six. Part six is in horror, secretly bangers, man. It's a long lineage growing of good part sixes. Yeah, when you're able to get to the six film and you love it this much, that's an impressive feat. What about you, any felt those?

Yeah, no, I thought it was really strong. I like the way that they were able to keep things fresh and new having to rely on the initial flight 180. And it did it in a way where they found a way around trying to go through the motions of the trope because it felt like four where it was like okay well rumor has it like this is what happens these are the rules just felt like really lazy but I feel like this one felt very organic

and then going them finding a narrative way to bring Tony Todd back into it that felt organic that honored his legacy both as an actor and in this franchise I thought was really strong and yeah everything John said this is a I genuinely really good not only movie but a phenomenal yeah absolutely yeah the paranoia they they brought to this film the inventiveness and I love the premonition

and also that we didn't as Aaron pointed out earlier we didn't go to formula and we used a mysterious way to unpack that premonition I just thought that was such a brilliant and fresh and original way to do it knowing that too that's something everyone looks forward

to yeah to make the prolog present in a different way further into the movie. Yeah, because normally, again, we get that the resolve to the premonition right away and then we wait for, you know, what happens after that, that's the formula usually. But like to have us like on hedge, like, wait, wait, I don't know what,

what's going on? So I think that was a really smart way to do it. So great film and I loved all the characters and the drama in this as well. And I do agree with you in regards to Stephanie. Could have been a little bit more there, but still, that's the one little thing. But overall, great film.

I really enjoyed this. Is there something you... I was just checking to see who these directors were. Oh. They did a Kim Possible movie. Oh, really? In 2019?

There was one... So Uncle Howard really quick and then I'll get to the budget and Ron Tamales. He was in one episode of Smallville. I failed. We did it. I failed.

We got one in there. Yeah. We got one. Season 7, episode 7 in Rath. He played Dr. Jansen. Love Dr. Jansen. There was one I missed. Sorry, guys.

And now we can go to... Let me look this way. so you don't see rotten tomatoes here, guys. Just one at a time, please. Let's go critics, rotten tomatoes, critics. One, please. I go, 78. 86.

92. Hey, let's go. That's grown, man. It's a new age. Yeah, I'm surprised. Audience. Especially with the way this franchise goes. 97.

97. Fine. I have to choose a different one in the 90s. You know, the audience is kind of, let me down in the last couple ones. They let us down in the fifth one. I'm going to say 92. Eighty seven. See? What is it with the audience?

Audience. Audience. What are you doing? This was, this is one of the best ones. Okay. Ah, let's go. What do you guys want? Budget or box office? Budget. Okay. What do you guys think the budget was? Hmm.

More expensive. I'm going to go 50 millie. No. 57 millie. 40 million. Should have kept your original $50 million. Dang it. You're still closer, technically, although if you go, I don't know what the rules are when you go over.

But that's really, yeah, because they had some really good looking practical blood gags and stuff and some really good looking CG blood gags and stuff. And again, this once again goes into, I like films that have, I know he keeps talking about

smaller budget, $50 million, but a smaller budget that feels very expensive with what they put on the screen. I don't know how to work it. Yeah. And they put it on the screen. Yeah, absolutely. Worldwide budget.

Excuse me. Worldwide box office. Sorry. How much did the world pay to pull this into reality? Yes, yes, yes, yes. What was the price? Worldwide, I'm going to go 150. 150. 200 million. 272.

Hey, let's go. I know it's been doing good. I didn't know what the number was, but I've heard it has been doing quite well. That's very heartening. We'll do two regulars and two spoilers, and then we'll get out of here. Yeah, I want to hear some of that trivia. Let's go. Let's go.

What's the trives? Where's the trives? Where are you trivia? They were all that one guy's actual piercings. Yes. Final film of actor Tony Todd before his death. He was visibly in rough shape while filming, but he pushed through to reprise his iconic role. Yeah.

And he felt very alive and present. I've seen some final roles where people look close to the door. And even though he was a bit frail, he still looked alive, man. Yeah, no, for sure. You could tell it was probably very tough for him to do, but he was marching on like a champ. Incredible performance. He was like a joyous, you know, thoughtful guy

from what I glimpsed of his just presence out in the world. Yeah. Tony Todd was allowed total creative control over his final scene since he clearly did not have much time left, and the crew wanted him to have the final word. of his career. Wow. His final monologue was one

that the crew encouraged him to use in part some last advice to fans. Wow, man. That's, that's beautiful.

That's amazing. Yeah. What an unlikely place for something so rare. Do one more before I get to the, I'm sorry, before I get to the spoilers.

71-year-old stunt woman Yvette Ferguson came out of retirement for a fire stunt in the premonition scene which director Zach Lipfakasi Sorry if I'm mispronouncing you know my mispronunciations Believes to be a world record for the oldest person set on fire on camera

Cool That ass, dude Marley, that's way to go That's wild Okay, let's do two or three spoilers here Iris dies in a similar manner from her premonition Where she fell from the tower into a broken bar Which implanted her through her mouth

That's a good point I didn't think about that. Good point. One's going through the front, the other one's going through the back. Yeah, yeah. Can you get you on the tail end? As of this installment,

Bloodworth confirms there are two ways to escape death after surviving an initial post disaster design. Taking someone else's lifespan, exchanging the time they have left for yourself introduced in Final Destination 5

and causing your own death, then resurrection introduced in Final Destination 2. Hell yeah. He did confirm that. That's not trivia. That's the text of the movie. When Paul tries to convince the receptionist to let him an iris into the restaurant despite

being fully booked, the receptionist says, you're tearing me apart. He ends up dying by being bisected by an elevator. Oh, my man. That's a good one. It had nothing to do with the room. I thought that fact was going to have something. Yeah, I thought it was about to do as well, but I think it was both. For sure.

They know. They know. Yeah. I'm sure they knew everyone's going to associate that first with the room and not look it that way. They earned it. Yeah. Last one. Iris Campbell's book on evading death since her initial survival from the tower accident contains pages pertaining to plane, long truck and bridge disasters, which are main disaster.

All right. She's called Campbell and she's got a necronomicon. What looks like a necronomicon. According to the directors, Iris has wind chimes all over her cabin because in these movies, death comes on the wind. Yes, it does. That makes sense. That makes sense.

Well, gang, we have done it. Yes, we have. That was from the United States of Bloodlines. Thank you again. I did forget to mention at the beginning tale of this review. Make sure you do all the YouTube stuff. Subscribe. Don't forget to like the video. Most importantly, rings that bell.

So you can survive when the next video's coming out. Exactly. Thank you guys for joining us for all these videos. Seriously, this was a blast. I had such a fantastic time with you guys. I'm glad we survived this. And thank you. And seriously,

I want to thank you guys for not spoiling because I do read a lot of the comments. I appreciate you guys. Seriously, that was really kind of you not to do. I'm sure like some of you might have been itching to do it. So the fact that you didn't really appreciate that, very kind of you to do. Thank you.

And we will catch you on whatever is coming out next. So be on the lookout for it and take care. Live long and prosper. This is. All right, Pete, Tony, Todd. Yeah. And now the videos. Flev, you're in, my man.

Flav. Flav. Oh, my. This guy survived the ultimate death trap. Oh, man. I bet Flev could, though. If anybody at the Patreon would surprisingly make it through, it would be Flev. Go on, John.

Tell them what it was that you survived. Was the death trap? Okay. So, Flev is at a psych convention, but, oh, no, look, one of the tables where one of the many guest actors is signed, where, um, where, uh, uh, oh, dang, I forget the guy's then. The guy who says, come on son, he's doing a signing, but there's like a loose screw on his table, right? And the screw falls out and it starts rolling across the ground into the path where you are actually going to be walking in just mere moments. But you don't step on the screw. No, no, no. The screw keeps going and it falls down a drain and it plugs up the drain. And it plugs up the drain hole and then the drain backs up and there's like a water pool growing across the convention hall floor that no one's noticing. Meanwhile, a guy carrying

a whole stack, a pyramid of pineapples, is also entering at the exact same time. Jesus. Trips over a DVD copy of the second movie, Lassie come home and spills the pineapples everywhere and then they all go rolling

and the people in the convention all are like stepping on the pineapples and they're slipping around. They're like fallen over and everyone's dying except for you you're somehow making it through but then oh no what's that it's a comic book accurate copy of the magic head comic from psych and someone's like hey phlev would you like this for free even though it's worth hundreds of dollars and you're like oh my god my lucky day and they step to give it to you but then they trip and then the the comic falls out of their hands and it it gives you a paper cut across the throat and you're like oh my god i think it's actually okay though i think it's actually not too deep and i won't actually die from this

and then as you're counting your blessings in this carnage of pineapple juice you explode just spontaneously awful that's the death trap for you flev i'm sorry you didn't make it to the end there was this thing called flight 180 a bunch of kids premonition i don't know if you heard of it but it's too late now sorry Chris Whamoff, man, C-note, man, man, man, man, dude, Chris Wamoff, crazy, he survived death too. Crazy, Chris, surviving death, well, you've got enough karma points. I guess I could see how it would happen. Literally, people are, like, oh, do I have to kill someone so it could skip me? Chris didn't even do that.

All Chris did was he saw death and looked at death and said, hey, look, I'm willing to go. Oh, Chris. And that selflessness, death was like, I'm going about this all wrong. Yeah. Chris gave death an existential crisis.

Oh. Which is a really hard thing to do. Truth. And then Chris gave death $500, like he does. And death was like, I don't, you don't have to do that. I can't accept this. It was like, I insist, I want to support.

And death's like, I really don't, I don't need this. I'm just a force of nature. I don't do anything with money. Yeah. Chris was like, you don't have to keep projecting or brushing this off. Just accept it. Learn to receive. You don't need to thank me.

And then Chris saw death be filled with all kinds of emotion and tears. Oh, no. and he ended up having death like die death was destroyed in that very moment ending all of the trickery that death has been doing in this final destination game

so Chris you have defeated evil with love and $500 thank you thank you Chris for being the ultimate caregiver appreciate you

Nobody does it like you, Chris.
