Starting point is 00:01:04 liquidation candidate. We're now right to find the best of the
Starting point is 00:01:08 best of the house, and much more. With offers over offers,
Starting point is 00:01:15 I can go back day to be how much I'm going to do you
Starting point is 00:01:19 want to the liquidation because it's very very It's always a discovery here through Reject Nation, and we're about to discover some classic comedy.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Yeah, we are. Let's jump into this thing. Oh, my goodness, gang, we did it. We watched scary motion picture, the fourth. And, oh, my goodness, gracious name. I see, I was right, Holly Madison. Hey, all right. Right. You did it. You know your Playboys. There we go. You're welcome. Know your playboy bunnies. Yep.
Starting point is 00:02:07 As you should. For the articles. Of course. Tara. As a spoof movie aficionado, being that this is your favorite genre of cinema. And there's a high bar to live up to in your personal book. All right. How do you feel? Just first thoughts about scary movie. motion picture forever. Here's how I thought it snagged me is because I love the movie War of the Worlds. I love that movie and so that made it more entertaining for me because I understood the references like right away. I have not seen the grudge so I
Starting point is 00:02:46 didn't but I still like that. I really liked the... I feel like if you know the J-horror tropes you'll pretty much get it. You kind of get it. Yeah well I thought... It's like the ring in that way. I thought everything looked good. Like everything looked horror-esque, the set for War of the World's, every scene. Sucker and Craig Mason, were the voices of the two billies. Oh, of the, of the, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:10 They did a really good job. They sounded like him. Like, there is something about his voice that makes me feel very nostalgic or, like, home-like. Like, I really like his voice so much, which is weird, because he is saw. No, I get it, though. Like, somebody should make, you know, it would be great, because, uh, you know, If Tobin Bell himself did like an ASMR channel.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Oh my God. I would listen to it all the time. It's just jigsaw giving you affirmations. Yes. And you could just, yeah, you can just chill to it. Sign me up. I'd be down for that. What I was going to say is that I really liked the sets that they did.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Everything looked really, really great. Especially the War of the Worlds. All of those scenes were exactly how, kind of how it looked in the movie. They did a great job with that. Great. with the lighting, great with like the war stuff, even the special effects with the aliens look
Starting point is 00:04:04 the same, the alien in the house. The only CGI thing was really when the arms took up the people, but the rest of it actually looked really, really good. And I think the tripod CGI was pretty good. It was pretty good. I mean, it wasn't like perfect, but it was pretty sinking good. It's better than you expect
Starting point is 00:04:19 and it looks actually better than like the tentacles do. That's what I meant, like the thing that grabs them, that's obviously CGI. And the rest, but the rest of the special effects and that looked really, really great. And I thought they, they did a really good job with that. And I like when they can, I mean, maybe they had a boosted budget for this because it's obviously the fourth one.
Starting point is 00:04:40 So they were able to make it look very realistic, which I appreciate, even if I'm not like laughing my ass off at everything, because I'm like, parody sometimes to me, I'm like, I can't be laughing the entire time, right? Except that they have, like, every other line is a thing that you're like, is laughable. Yeah, right? It's either like a silly joke or a reference or, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, that's sometimes the hard line to toe for me. It's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:13 But I liked it. I thought that it was fun. Would you say this is your favorite of the four? Of the four. I kind of get that sense, but I could be wrong. No, I think so because I think, honestly, the fact that it's where of the world really got me going, and I loved it. Sure. Because I love that movie, and so I really like that reference a lot.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Absolutely, and it's funny, looking at the comments on scary movie three, a lot of people were like, you know, okay, well, now it's all downhill from here. You've witnessed the last good scary movie. And it's been, you know, a long time since the last time I saw this. And I feel like, you know, three was probably more familiar in the revisit than four was. But, you know, I really enjoyed this, too. Like, it's weird. People were like, oh, get ready for a drop-off. But I thought this was just as fun and enjoyable as the previous one.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Those people want pee and diarrhea and projectile vomiting every five seconds. Okay. That's what I want, Tara. Okay. Just pee Geyser, the whole movie. just bomb core everywhere projectile everything all bodily fluids all the time yeah no yeah i thought this was a lot of fun and it carried over the same sensibility that you shifted to in the previous movie with the zucker abram zucker kind of airplane style mad capness i mean you know it's the way
Starting point is 00:06:40 brothers ones have the slapstick they have the crude humor um and i feel like what what sort of separates these is is that yeah there's that sort of um gleefully silly spirit that is like more innocuous in a way and it gives everything this sort of a different kind of comedic absurdity that I find very charming and enjoyable and again this is you know that it has those wordplay jokes and those sight gags that even when they're obvious or dumb or stupid they still get that like begrudging laugh out of you I love I love little moments like you know we're already finishing each other's dinner. Dinner.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Or I saw a face in that house. Did it have a nose? Or the lock, go on three. That was a fun. Yeah, the lock thing. That's like who's on third base, kind of, kind of. You know, that was fun.
Starting point is 00:07:33 It's one of those things that breaks the necessity for you to know a bunch of references and just go, like I, you know, you need references for what kind of movie this is, but it's always like a nice little break when you just get an honest to goodness joke that's just a joke that happens to be situational
Starting point is 00:07:49 to the parody. Totally. You know? And again, I thought the blend of things to parody was pretty smart in terms of okay, War of the Worlds, that gets your big global stakes, and then the grudge gets your sort of personal stakes, and then they find
Starting point is 00:08:03 these kind of fun and goofy ways to blend the movie plot circumstances together just enough so that they kind of coalesce into a story. Like, all these movies are sketch-based. But this one, yeah, like, it's weird. I thought three was really funny
Starting point is 00:08:19 and it again had that sort of light silly Zucker flavor that is enjoyable but I think this one in a way had maybe slightly more at least on the filmmaking side I feel like the previous one was like a shift in the humor
Starting point is 00:08:34 and we talked about like the first movie feels like a real movie the second movie feels like a Halloween episode of something and then the third movie feels like a parody movie and this one does two but I thought this one in terms of yeah the lighting the look of things the way they recreated the film stylings and stuff like that while not maybe quite as on that again this is the way scary movie feels kind of like a scream type movie it's not a hundred percent on that level but this was certainly like it felt a bit more cinematic than i was expecting maybe yeah yeah i think it did and i think it wasn't as the third one was like the little hand going in food and all that right no that was the second one that was your favorite one scary movie The struggle is so real
Starting point is 00:09:20 because I just saw the guy in this one and I have PTSD. Well, that's the other weird thing too is you have PTSD, dude. You don't have a lot of connecting tissue between the original two and everything after that except for Anaferra's and Regina Hall killing it continually.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Yeah. But yeah, you got Carmen Elektra back from the very first movie and you got Chris Elliott back from the second movie which is just like one of those interesting like, you know, at that point in time you just have to know like okay we are bringing some people back from the last one I don't know
Starting point is 00:09:52 people weren't as online there wasn't as much discourse back then but it does seem like an interesting wrinkle now that you know all the behind the scenes turmoil of like how these movies got taken away from the Wayans Brothers and blah blah right but despite all that drama and stuff like that like this moved
Starting point is 00:10:10 in a way where yeah like it just kept on going there weren't too many jokes that outstayed they're welcome there are I agree with gross out beats and moments. But even the thing, like, you know, she's giving the sponge bath to Chloris Leachman, which is gross. Yeah. But, like, that, I feel like could have gone on for, for a long, long time.
Starting point is 00:10:31 You're right. You're right. You're right. Thank goodness. But, yeah, a lot of fun slapstick bits. And again, these live and die on just the commitment of the cast. And, I mean, hats off to Onifaris for continuing to hold these down. And I think Craig Birko, like, I liked the involvement of both Simon.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Rex and Charlie Sheen in the last one. I thought it was fun that they turned up here. And again, even that makes me curious about the circumstances because clearly they were willing to show up, but the story didn't have much for them to do other than a couple of gags. So, like, that's interesting. But I thought Craig Bierko was a great choice for, you know, the foil to Cindy's energy, to Alan Ferris's energy.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Great match for Tom Cruise. And just something about the way his comedy was in this movie. like I believed again that earnest commitment to the sincerity of the situation but he's also got that for me a very charming comedic energy that often tickled me and that really does sell again those silly you did have a nose you know like he really sells the concern of those moments yeah thank you to huell for sponsoring today's video now guys I'm going to give you all the God's honest truth of how this sponsorship came to be sponsorship came to be We got contacted about basically partnering up with Huell. Before we agreed to anything, the very first thing I said was I would like to try the product first. I did a Instagram post on our Real Rejects one. It was the first time you see me trying the Huell product. Basically going like, hey, we might not partner with them.
Starting point is 00:12:03 This is not a paid Instagram post, but I just wanted to try it since a lot of you guys asked for like health recommendations now and the know kind of what I take only because of the fact that I'm vegetarian. I have very limited protein options. So I gave it a shot and ended up loving it. primarily the chocolate one. Wow, this is really, this is a really great one. One of the best things about it is that, yes, it's pre-packaged, and a lot of times when it comes to, like, the pre-packaged bottles, I'm not a big fan of them normally, which he got me drinking on camera, is one of these, which takes a very long time to put together and can often get messy, and it's just not aesthetically pleasing,
Starting point is 00:12:36 but I'm trying to pack like a lot of vitamins and fiber protein. The best part about Huell is a lot of what I try to package, this one giant shake is already available in this little bottle often taste better than what I can actually assemble myself. It actually tastes great. It's got a high protein intake count as well. And you know what? Brad new bottle. If you guys can see it's filled to the top. This is how good it tastes. If you wanted in one go, it is just as good. It tastes really freaking good. Thank you so much for sponsor in this video. The one thing they want me to say is this is you can get 15% off Huell today with code
Starting point is 00:13:23 rejects at Huel.com slash Rejects. Fuel your best performance with Huel today. They are great and I am already almost out of the many bottles they sent me. If you guys do go check them out at Huel.com slash rejects. You'll see they've got a whole bunch more items available as well. And if they taste anything as good as this, I'm going to be a very happy customer for a very, very long time. So join me on this health journey. I also feel like this is, could be where we figure out maybe that Charlie Sheen is no longer married to Burke Shields because she is not in this movie.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Because remember how that all, or Denise Richards, sorry, Denise Richards, which I think is funny because I was like, I was thinking in my brain the whole time. Like when did they get divorced and when they did wasn't a big blow up and he was like cheating. And then I'm like, the three girls are in that. would he actually sign up to do that recently after the divorce like all these thoughts were going through my brain but um yeah i'm curious about that absolutely we got a ton a ton a ton of cameos in this as well you got shack you had dr philip yeah had fabulous molly shannon you got anthony and and kevin hart back yeah yeah little john this is also too in like the huge like blingera hip-hop phases like everything is there's a 50 cent joke in here uh
Starting point is 00:14:40 funny to see also too it's like what's happening in horror movies what's happening in popular culture which as of these movies is very much hip hop and it's funny to see scary movie one and two like certainly have hip hop elements and references and and you know they're coming from a black perspective more so than these are so there's a different inroad to that but then you shift to scary movie three and four which you know again is like the airplane team but you're also in a moment in pop culture where just like hip hop is so ubiquitous that it's just like funny to me that three and four have the most overt hip hop shit in them yeah um holly madison bridget marquotte and uh marquart and uh kendra wilkinson are your playboy ladies yeah
Starting point is 00:15:25 yeah yeah that's right and then a bunch of other just like so many people who showed up in this were either comedians like alonzo bowden was in here or just uh other i don't know like they've always had comedic actors and and cameos and stuff the japanese ghost women in the office i thought was a great sort of sight gag and stuff like that. Oh, yeah, that's true. This does make me wish for, you know, it makes you want more saw. Part of me wants to see a scary movie
Starting point is 00:15:48 that has a more saw as the main driving. Like, this had the saw wrap around, but one that is more borrowed from those movies. Right? Yeah, exactly. From start to finish, because Saw just like keeps going, he keeps putting you through those like things
Starting point is 00:16:03 and the way that those movies connect in such a smart way. Oh, yeah. And the twist and turns in those movies are so great like yeah I would I would love that too I also love in the credits that there are certain people just credited as were you naked alien
Starting point is 00:16:17 attack my bowels have stopped moving that's a good poop joke that was a good poop joke are there any trivia facts Tara that we can look at before we get out of here we also had some M Night Shyamalan in this movie we had the village got to shout
Starting point is 00:16:33 out some Shamelon too because that's the point in time we're at yeah I'm excited excited to see what waits in store as a new scary movie, you know, crests its way into our world. It's like now with the way-ins is coming back, I have no idea what to expect because we've seen the ups and downs that at least their movies can have.
Starting point is 00:16:53 We've seen some of the ups and downs, and we have one more. We have scary movie five, so we'll see how that goes and who's behind that. But we've seen some of the ups and downs of both flavors of this. And now I'm very curious as to how this will progress into the future. What do you got for trivia? Okay, let's do it. The Saw and Saw 2 from 2005 sets are so exact that they look as if they are the same ones using the original films.
Starting point is 00:17:15 That's what I said earlier too. The Saw Producers ask if they could use the bathroom set for the film, Saw 3. Are you serious? That's insane. They probably saw 3. That was the bathroom. That is amazing. Isn't that great?
Starting point is 00:17:31 That's awesome. Props to the props and set dressing department because I will give it to, especially this movie. had some good set designs. Okay, how much do you think that Anna Farris got paid for this movie for doing this? $30 million. Oh, no. The interest is more than this cost to make, a million bucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:51 So Anna Farris' stage, she did not want to do this movie, but could not turn down the million dollar paycheck. I would not either. She didn't want to do it. She did not want to do it. Doesn't say why. She doesn't want to be just scary movie forever. Although I will say, before you continue, props to her, because I still thought she was funny and I couldn't tell she didn't want to do this. And I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:18:17 I couldn't tell it. She didn't want to do this. My assumption is she just wants to do all of them because she's been, yeah. Yeah. I feel like across these movies, she has been, like, for the ups and downs, she's funny. She's been holding it down and I appreciate her sticking it out. Yeah, me too. so there was there's something that appeared in the poster for this movie that never ended up in the film what do we
Starting point is 00:18:40 just take a guess it's an animal but like an animal that's in a movie kangaroo jack no king Kong was in this poster and never appeared in the movie what don't know why okay was peter jackson's king Kong out around this time or something how yeah how would you even what would you even do with that right um well they would have King Kong show up with a large banana. And take a dump. Let's take a dump. The inability of Shaquille Neal to make a free throw in order to save himself a Dr. Phil is somewhat an inside joke,
Starting point is 00:19:16 although consider one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He's often criticized for his poor free throw, which you called out. In addition to this movie, Deborah Wilson often impersonated, oh, Oprah Winfrey, so that must have been her on Mad TV. Okay, I knew her vibe was familiar. Week, since we haven't seen the grudge, this is why Bill Pullman was in it. He starred in the movie.
Starting point is 00:19:38 He's in the grudge? Yeah. So that's why. We got to watch the grudge some, or I guess you and Roxy will have to watch the grudge someday because I have to get a special passport to do horror now because it's your turf. I don't know, man. Okay, I'll read the last one. This is the first scary movie franchise to be shot in high-deaf video. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It looked a little high-deaf. Yeah. The deaf was defining. Totally. The set design, though, bingo. Well, not bad. Tara, four movies in. We got one more to go for this current cycle.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Rank them. Oh, my God. Rank them, Tara. Two is at the bottom. You all know I can't with that, okay? What happened in three? Because I get them all confused. Three was...
Starting point is 00:20:19 Three is the ring and three is... But, yeah, what habit? But they were running... Brenda was running through... It was the one where they're running through the hallways, right? No, that's part two. That is. Part two is the one.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Okay, so part one is scream, essentially, and I know what you did last summer. Part two is there in the mansion. Yeah, at the bottom, I know. So you have all that stuff in the basement and the shit. Yeah, and then part three, you are eight mile and you are the ring and you are signs, Charlie Sheen, and they're on the farm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:51 And then you're in rap battles and shit, and then you're in. Right. Okay. A lot of, like, a lot of more familiar settings. Then I think that this one, four, is at the top, one goes after that, then goes three, and then goes two. Okay, that's an interesting ranking, for sure. Yeah. I don't even know, man.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Like, that's a difficult question. I would like to fire you for asking me that. But I won't. I'll keep you. No, thank you. Like, I hate that question. I do, too, because I would have so many different ways to look at a ranking that I don't even know how I would actually do the ranking. And each time we've watched one, I've had a very,
Starting point is 00:21:32 fun time sharing them with you. And I am obviously going to put the one that everybody hates at the top because I am not the person for this franchise, although you guys have chosen me to be. I am here for you. You are the spoof queen. I am surprised because, yeah, I thought this was really funny and it didn't feel like a noticeably, even in hindsight, it felt less of a, it didn't feel like a step down or like a, or like oh goodness, you know, I really see what people were talking about in this one. Like I would definitely
Starting point is 00:22:06 put two at the bottom just because two is a bit of a, it has a few specific tricks. And not that these movies don't all have a few specific tricks, but the second one, yes, is the sort of like gross and off putting one. Three and four are almost interchangeable in a sense because they have that same
Starting point is 00:22:24 gleeful spirit and at least right now, like I enjoyed this one quite a bit and I feel like in some ways, again, the seams of the filmmaking are a little less apparent than in the previous movie. Like you said, like there's something about like the brightness of some of that lighting that does make it feel like a parody movie versus this one had a bit more of that commitment to shadows.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Kiaroscuro and other filmmaking terminology that I'm sure was heavily considered, pondered, and employed on the set of this movie. Anyway, this has been a lot of fun. And hey, we just witnessed Tara's favorites. That means that this trajectory in terms of joy is on an upward And now it's just up to scary movie five to put the cherry on top By being the best parody movie of all time
Starting point is 00:23:09 Can they stick the landing? We will find out soon enough gang people Tara you got anything else to say we good No go get your sweater Rejectnation Shop.com follow us on social media Come say hi you know the juice Yeah appreciate your game that's our appreciate y'all and Game over.
Starting point is 00:23:28 We'll see you here on the next one.
