This Saturday, we're going to be doing epic Real Rejects live stream.
Everyone, shut the time we're going to be on the stream.
This schedule's down below.
Keep a lookout.
The schedule is down below.
All right, Freddy and Jason, here we go.
Wow.
That's wild.
He's going to text Andrew.
He's been, won't leave us alone for the last little bit.
Oh, Sean Cunningham, you love to see it, Tara.
Listen, how are you going to pull that out when we just finished Freddy versus Jason?
Give me one minute of a reaction first.
I just had to text him.
Just give me one second.
We've been waiting our whole life for this, and that's the first thing you do?
I just felt bad because Andrew was trying to get in here.
He could have just came and sat in here, but he just kept trying to talk to me through the window.
We just watch a huge movie, be with me here and now.
What do you think?
I just don't.
I'm confused by the wink at the end, which I did think was really funny.
I actually really, really enjoyed this movie.
All the actors were really good.
You were right.
name is Jason Ritter.
Yes, good job, rocks.
All the actors are like, they're prime time, and I really enjoyed the story, like, a lot.
And especially at the end, it was almost as if it did not become versus.
It was like, Jason was helping the kids survive from Freddie, and now as he's, like, walking
out of the lake, it's like, they're buddies.
And I'm like, all right.
Did it seem like buddies to you walking out?
Not buddies.
He's holding his head.
He already chopped off most of it.
of his body but I don't know they to me I'm like y'all got close in trying to kill each other
that's what I felt like I'm like y'all you all formed a bond in trying to kill each other
I don't know why I feel that way because obviously not they're still going to want to
kill each other at all times but um yeah I mean I really enjoyed myself I thought they did
awesome a really good job of the makeup and um you know like the practical
effects looked awesome and the cg i didn't didn't really bother me much they did a good job with that too
i think that this movie was so good like i because everything not it's not like everything we've
been watching it in smaller budget but this just felt monumental it felt like they put in the tlc for
both fandums it was equal freddie and equal jason yeah it was so cool to see them interact when it because
it's versus even though it takes an hour and a bit to get them to go against each other right like we got
multiple fights between them i really cared about the characters like i just thought that they did
such an iconic job here i got to look some things up i got to give us some i got to give us the as you
say juice yeah look up some trivia um let's see what i got for you yeah okay
I was trying to think of like the dream stuff like how all the kids were together in realizing like yeah it is Freddie and he is back and that it was a little different in this one that the sheriff even knew like it's Freddie he was like we don't say his name out loud I liked that aspect of it that everyone really was on board that it was actually Freddie and that it was a kid's idea to like set him up with Jason.
I have to tell you something.
I have to tell you something. Yeah, go, go, go.
I have to tell you something.
Wow, what?
The person who directed this movie is named Ronnie you.
Ronnie you directed something that you and I are obsessed with, which is
bride of chucky.
Wow, that is so fun.
I'm obsessed with that.
So he did Bride of Chucky.
and then he did this after he did 98 bride of chucky this was 2003 wow we love Ronnie you and we
didn't even know it that's awesome I love that that's amazing that's great that Sean chose him too
as the you know like Sean Cunningham's name is all over these he made a good choice choosing you
the girl that we really liked Lori is named Monica Kina um she was in Dawson's Creek which
I never watched.
Did you watch Dawson's Creek?
Maybe a few episodes.
I don't remember.
Okay, I didn't watch that.
She was in 40 days and 40 days and nights.
She did six episodes of Beavis and Byhead.
That's cool.
Three episodes of Private Practice.
I would have thought after this,
she would have, two episodes of Great Anatomy,
tons of shows.
I would have thought after this she would have been like a megastar.
I thought she was so, so good.
Right.
Yeah, I agree.
so so good this jason wasn't our most recent jason this jason was ken kursinger um who is not our uh the
not the other guy i forget his name but that's not that we've been liking recently yeah jason
ridder okay so i did get that the girl uh kane hoder was the old guy kane hoder thank you
katherine isabel is the other girl like the drunk girl who ended up dying oh yeah she was good
um she was really good but also same thing like none of i just think that so many of them were
so so good in this
like the best group of actors
Lockland Monroe was the blonde guy that we were
like oh we knew him for sure
the cop
yeah he was in scary movie
white chicks
uh night of Roxbury
done a million things so
okay all this cast works they all book
they all be out here doing the damn thing
let me get you do some trivia
let's do it here we go
according to Robert England
his Freddie makeup was so thick
that he couldn't tell how hot it was
from the fires during filming.
When he got in to have his makeup removed,
it had bonded itself to his face.
Oh my God.
No.
Ouch.
The final film in which Robert England plays his role,
the role, Freddie Kruger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That songs, I want more.
Yeah.
I love him.
James Wan was originally going to direct this film.
It was already committed to directing Saw
2004 and was too busy with other film projects.
Standing at 6'5,
Ken Kursinger is the tallest actor to date
to play Jason Borges. He did seem huge.
Yeah, he did seem very large.
This is the first Friday movie not filmed in the United States,
and the filmmakers had to search for a new house
that would resemble the famous Freddie Cougar,
Elm Street House, from the first seven nightmare films.
Yeah.
The biggest problem that occurred on set was a fight between
director Ronnie Yu and Catherine Isabel, who played the drunk girl, Gibb, who had signed onto the film on the promise that she would not have to do nude scenes as she has a strict no nudity clause in her contract. During the shoot, you went back on the promise and repeatedly tried to pressure her to get naked, eventually settled on using a body double. That makes me not like Ronnie. That's gnarly. It was in our contract. We don't go past that. Once it's written down, you don't bug him about it. You have plenty of other nude people in this.
Even if it's in your contract.
Otherwise, she said she didn't want to.
Right.
Yeah.
But she said she didn't want to a long time ago.
And you put your name in the contract saying, okay, no nudity, great move on.
But you bring it up on set.
That's unprofessional as hell.
Bummer, because he did Briot Jackie, too.
Yeah.
While several journalists and television hosts have tried to embarrass Kelly Rowland over her role in this film.
What?
She's always responded by saying that the film was a hit and she enjoyed making it and therefore has nothing to be ashamed of.
what are you yeah like everybody needs to calm down and stop being judgmental prick she did a great
job she was so good so good the lake at camp crystal lake was also being used to film the final
scene for x2 xmen united didn't you just watch that uh i don't know which one i think we're on
four now i don't know i forget the names of all of them three okay um at the same time this movie
was being filmed the two film cast even stayed at the same hotel brian singer got to appear
on set during Jason's first kill to see Jason's costume and commented they got the makeup
right.
Ah, love it.
Robert England was excited at the casting of Catherine Isabella's Gibb as he was a big fan of
her cult film Ginger Snaps as a Canadian werewolf film.
I've heard of that, but I never saw it.
I never seen it.
I need to know, you got to talk to the people because I need to know was that Evangeline
Lily?
Oh God, that's so funny.
You can look up was Evangeline Lilly and I.
extra in
background
Freddy versus Jason
yeah I don't think there
excuse me I am not I
and if you saw me on during this movie you guys
know I've been on a switch meds but I'm doing
a lot better it was her
she didn't interrupt you during
it was her she had a walk on role as a high school
student you knew it was her
I saw I was like that's Evangely Lily
that's so funny it's so crazy about
that is what a great lesson to you and me
like yeah just keep at it
also crazy because Evangeli
and Lily, regardless of how you feel
about it, it's one of the most beautiful people that's ever been
seen in life. Totally. For every
background, I was immediately like,
that's our... Yeah, absolutely. Zeroed
in. She's hard to miss.
Damn, girl. Okay, so did this live up to your hopes
and dreams and expectations? Yeah, I think that
with all of the showdowns between both of them
and how they brought back a lot of OG stuff, like one, two,
Friday's come for you, and then the Jason's stuff,
the mom comes in, and then we combine both of the world,
including the lake and the freaking boiler room where Freddie was burned.
Like that is just classic bringing both of the movies and all the stuff together.
Excellent.
Where do we go from here?
Good question.
I don't know.
Are we like done?
No, I don't think.
I think there's more Jason stuff.
Really?
I don't know.
Wow.
