Starting point is 00:02:01 Tadda! Yeah. Tadda. What did you think of the movie? Oh, you know, I think that 4% Rotten Tomatoes doesn't do it justice. Oh, of course not. No. No. No.

Starting point is 00:02:18 You know, I was disappointed. They didn't do the cabinet move where all the cabinets open, like they do in paranormal. activity i love that the most out of and if you haven't seen me andrew recently reacted to all of them that's up on the channel but uh i wanted the cabinet and you did a haunted house and i did marlin way and that is true um i didn't like that one as much as but it was um no as the paranormal as the paranormal activity sure yeah yeah yeah yeah yop yop yop yop um yeah this was a movie that i sat and i watched

Starting point is 00:02:54 and I got through. I got through. Now I laughed sometimes. Sometimes I would have to laugh just so that I wouldn't sigh and or cry. Sure. In thinking, why am I here? Dude, there were bars in that. Sigh, cry, why killing the game?

Starting point is 00:03:13 It was good. It was good. It's a movie. They did a thing. Is it a movie? I liked the. Is it a movie? The bloopers are kind of funny, but you know, you know what made me think I'm like,

Starting point is 00:03:24 We haven't seen Ashley Tisdale in forever, right? She did high school musical, probably got big off that, and then she, this, I assume, came after her. But I'm like, girl, you got to keep it together. If she broke that much and I was Molly Shannon, I had to do that physical comedy scene like a million. I'm sure she kept it together a few times, but I would be like, girl, you need to lock it down. Yes. Go think of some sad shit. So that I can finish my job.

Starting point is 00:03:50 Yeah. made it to the end. I know it's not fully the end, but we're close. Don't worry. This one would be the last one on my list. Don't ask me to rank the scary movies. Don't do it to me, okay? Listen. I think it's a pretty easy. The bottom of my list. I think it's pretty easy to at least agree on the idea that in the scary movie ranking, you have one, three and four somewhere competing for top three. Yes. And then you have two at number four and you have four. And you have Five at number five. Five. I agree with that.

Starting point is 00:04:27 I feel like, I mean, I'm sure some people will, I guess you would say that maybe some folks I know will debate whether four or two deserves that number four slots. But yes, this definitely ranks toward the bottom, at the bottom. Yeah. It's funny. I'm curious to look up who the director was, and obviously we've changed hands again. You know, you get two Wayans Brothers, Scary, movies, you get two Zucker, Abram Zucker, scary movies.

Starting point is 00:04:56 And now there's still those... Oh, I look up trivia while you're... Those folks are still involved with this one to a slight degree, it seems like, but also the timbre of this just felt different. Like, it's weird. Yeah, definitely did. I agree with you on that. Yeah, it's like the quality of the filmmaking, and we've talked about this over the

Starting point is 00:05:15 course of these movies, you know, some of them feel more like real movies than others. And I feel like this one had the least, the weakest... grip on really translating like the film styles and they really, really leaned heavily. Like each of these movies has a bunch of like slapstick and people get hit by stuff and people

Starting point is 00:05:35 flying out of frame. But this movie really relied on that seemingly the most. This was like random adult toy jokes and a bunch of yeah slapstick bits and stuff like that and it's weird because it's not like exactly out of character

Starting point is 00:05:51 for this franchise. However it was a lot lower on either you know clever sight gags or clever word player or any like you know I feel like you need to temper dumb and silly with a little bit of clever and this had the least amount of clever I feel like in it and uh yeah two it's odd because you know you get and and these are episodic but you get charlie sheen back as just charlie you get simon rex back and he's apparently charlie sheen's brother still but he's a guy named dan they're not georgian anymore or whatever and I'm just like why why like Simon Rex was in the last movie and so is Charlie Sheen and I know that they died or whatever but like everybody dies and comes back because

Starting point is 00:06:35 they're episodic so like why are they different and also why is Simon Rex like a different actor now because right a different totally different character because he's still like wide eyed and over the top and he has that you know like we've talked about that like on a Ferris sort of like you know innocent flustered kind of quality but here he felt like he was performing in some kind of kids TV show rather than committing to an absurd you know character of some kind I don't know exactly how to articulate it but it's like in the previous movies even when his responses were over the top they still like matched the rest of the movie in a way that like sold what was happening whereas here he felt like detached from everything

Starting point is 00:07:19 and just like he was just like I'm playing a silly guy for a silly movie and and like I thought Ashley Tisdale did what she could with this some of the supporting cast and a lot of the other comedians who show up like do a fine job in the moment but I don't

Starting point is 00:07:35 know this is not oh post post credits I just had the most bizarre dream demons apes a ballet you have a very active subconscious Hey, the idea took hold Lindsey Lohan's coming over to spend the night

Starting point is 00:07:50 with you. Wow. That's what we like to see. You were driving. Oh, no. I was like, where's this guitar roof going to take us to? Yeah, yeah. Oh, boy. So it was directed by Michael D. Lee.

Starting point is 00:08:16 who has also directed the best man girls trip a lot of the best all the best man's the best man the final chapter of best man holiday a Harlem night school movie a lot of movies that I haven't really watched Malcolm D. Lee yeah yes okay yes you are right with that interesting and guess how much this budget was five a million dollars 20 million I'm like why on okay on why effects maybe i guess like i don't know like they got some gore gags in the evil dead bit that were pretty you know bloody and stuff like that where they must have had to have at least throw down for some prosthetic limbs and some blood cannons and whatever else uh and i'm sure that some of the

Starting point is 00:09:04 supporting comedians probably cost a little bit of money more than that's true any you know random not random but just like just hiring an unknown actor or lesser known actor or whatever yeah uh this doesn't feel like all 20 million of those dollars wound up on screen but then I wonder maybe it was in like the ape costumes maybe it was in yeah some of the other these other elements and aspects it makes me wonder too seeing those bloopers like what maybe didn't make it in yeah because they shot a lot there was a lot that did like her biting that shoe I mean that has a lot of like props especially when they put the over uh she was in the dungeon the dungeon and like you have the goats and she's like thrown around a bunch of

Starting point is 00:09:44 more just seem like we there's probably a lot more stunts and a lot of stuff that we did not see yeah that they just had just in case and then came to the final yeah it seems like they wanted to give themselves options or whatever things to cut to you which I'm sure you would want to do and like yeah she eats the shoe and clearly they must have had to have some kind of you know edible prop breakaway shoe for her so that must have been planned so yeah like I don't begrudge them that because I'm like sure you need options but at the same time it makes me wonder how you know all of the, I would love like a cross-section of how each one

Starting point is 00:10:19 was made to kind of know how we got to each conclusion. Yeah. This just had like the choppiest filmmaking, like scenes like you pointed out would be going from set sound to ADR. Lips weren't matching half the time and I couldn't tell if it was just because

Starting point is 00:10:34 they were editing out swearing. Swear words, that's what I thought, yeah. And, you know, a lot of obvious jokes. There were a few jokes that I did find legitimately like that caught me off guard or you know whatever but it had the least uh the the the ratio of obvious humor to like sneaky sly you know clever humor was way skewed in this totally like i didn't hate this experience but i did sit here the whole time kind of increasingly

Starting point is 00:11:04 going like what is this and why is it this way that is that was me most of the time but my favorite part was who do you work for when she's with the doll and she's pouring the water i was like that is my favorite that that that legitimately made me laugh i really liked that part yeah totally that was a lot of fun totally random and strange but yeah but yeah caught me off guard and it was kind of funny or like yeah the little miniature car was like that was fun that's a choice where it's like it's so obvious that it's kind of funny or things like that and i'm sure there are a few other moments but yeah this was not the best one this is not the best scary movie who's Kendra

Starting point is 00:11:44 she looks so familiar and her name sounded like a real person but I don't know if that's the case or not okay let me find her real quick her name is Erica Ash and she has also been in Survivor's Remorse which is like a show she was in outlaw Johnny Black I don't know any of these

Starting point is 00:12:05 another unthinkably good things okay she's been in a lot of stuff that I do not recognize I thought she was like an actual celebrity dancer or somebody or TV personality who they got to act in this or something I like I liked her I thought she was one of the more committed performers yeah I liked her and Ashley Tisdale together I agree with that I don't know yeah yeah I will find the trivia let's get some trivia going in here I was going to say, which one did you like better?

Starting point is 00:12:38 Haunted House or this? Haunted House commits to doing... Probably haunted house. Haunted House commits to all the paranormal activities that has access to and kind of at least keeps on that, even though there's a bunch of obvious, you know, crude humor in that movie, too. But I think they actually did the cabinet thing.

Starting point is 00:12:55 I can't remember. You guys are my memory sucks. Yeah. I like we got some Evil Dead here. Me too. And I mean, yeah, I feel like they could have done more with paranormal activity. I thought a lot of their paranormal activity stuff could have been better.

Starting point is 00:13:09 I thought it was fun that they went with Mama. That's a nice, like, one to mash up, even though that movie hasn't. That is one I have not seen. It's pretty decent. It's not certainly as iconic as some of the movies that they have parodied up to this point.

Starting point is 00:13:25 I don't know if it really captured. Like, I remember it being one of those movies that made more of a splash than I think might have been expected, but I don't remember it being as ubiquitous as like the movies that have made up the basic structure of the previous ones like the grudge or the ring or signs or scream or you know various other things right right um okay so this was the least financially successful entry in the scary movie series you don't say nuts right um an affairs did not return obviously other cast members regina hall Kevin Hart Anthony Anderson they were offered they did not take those on. I don't blame them.

Starting point is 00:14:07 Hey, I'm real proud of you. You could see how, yeah, this kid, like, especially the two of them doing Swan Lake Black Swan, like that could have easily been on a Ferris and Regina Hall. What? What? Oh my God. You guys? I hope you freak out

Starting point is 00:14:23 as much as I, like, okay, listen. What do we got? Lindsay Lohan refused to kiss Charlie Sheen during filming due to his erratic behavior, a body double was used instead. Wow. That is awkward A.F.

Starting point is 00:14:46 That is insane. That means that means that she was on set. He was being erratic and weird. She had to make the request because normally you're like, well, us kissing is going to have to be seen on camera. you don't call they would have to like call that day for a body double unless they had one on hand that is awkward as hell i'm sure charlie she was like wait what we're not like we're not we're not doing this we're not doing it uh we're not juicing i love that trivia they yeah they did have some odd

Starting point is 00:15:18 chemistry in that scene oh my i can't believe that's so much drama yeah well and i was gonna say like yeah i feel like these movies exist in a weird time capsule especially for charlie sheen because Lindsay Lohan, like, oh, yeah, it's right around the time all her, you know, public troubles happened, and so we're making fun of that. But Charlie Sheen, I feel like, you know, scary movie three and four, I think predate his, like, true transcendence into tiger blood and, you know, public insanity.

Starting point is 00:15:46 And now we get him back to make fun of that. Right. And also we're probably not, as it sounds like from that trivia, we're not out of that period for him yet. Like, if he's still acting that erratically for him, her to go, I need a body double to kiss. That makes, that's... That's wild, man.

Starting point is 00:16:04 Like, that's a long way to go for your, like, oh, we're making fun of our, of our, you know, legal troubles joke, you know? And I get that Charlie Sheen is probably one of the few people they offered to come back who agreed, and they probably had to pay him a lot to do it, even though he's only in this one scene, but wow. Yeah, because it says, this didn't feature,

Starting point is 00:16:20 obviously, any of the main characters from the first four films. Anna Farris said that she was too old to return, and Regina Hall became expensive. initially in 2009, I assume, due to a bunch of shows she was in. And then the Weinstein company decided this was going to be a reboot, which meant there would be no returning characters. But you have returning actors. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:16:44 You do have returning characters. Dumbies. I know it was a longer time between this one, I think, than the, because four was like 2006 or something like that. So this is, you know, what, seven years later? Right. So, you know, we got a decent gap, but... Reject Nation, I'm here to interrupt this video just for a little bit to let you know that for a limited time at rejectionshop.com, we have exclusive apparel, just like the one I am wearing right now on my body.

Starting point is 00:17:13 This is a reject sweater, the brainchild of the she-jacks, Tara Erickson, and Roxy Stryer. They really were like, you know, we don't want to just only do a Christmas one. We want it to be a full holiday celebration. I absolutely love this design. I've been wearing this sweater an awful lot wherever I go. It's a fantastic thing for you to gift yourself or to gift to someone else this holiday season. And the other things that were launched were the brainchild of one Aaron Alexander, something that I was jealous that I never thought of. And that is the Scar Bucks Coffee.

Starting point is 00:17:43 They got the Scarbucks hoodie. They got the Scarbucks Coffee mug. There's also the Rejects mug as well. There's also an addition to that, the Agatha Bruce hoodie. I absolutely adore all these designs. I am so impressed with the three of them were able to concoct, along with the amazing artists who help support them, of course. We really care about finding material that fits very comfortable.

Starting point is 00:18:01 Is it comfortable or comfortably language? And on top of that, too, designs that we really feel resonate with us and can also resonate with those who watch us. You beautiful reject citizens. There's a barcode here that you can scan if you want to go to the shop or you can go to rejectnation shop.com. Treat yourself or treat someone else. Either way, it's a great way to support the channel

Starting point is 00:18:19 and to support your wardrobe collection. And the Wayansbergs, they were asked, like the studio asked, them and they said no, but like they made their own horror movie spoof in A Haunted House, which performed so well that it got a second one. Simon Rex stated there may not be another scary movie installment due to the financial failure, negative feedback in the absence of the original cast members. I don't know that it's just because the absence of original cast members, I do think that Anna Ferris and the other ones added a lot to the spoof like in their acting.

Starting point is 00:18:51 They really, um, they took it a little more seriously, which added more to the spoof and comedy effect, right? You really believe the sense of panic. Yes. Even if it's always silly. Because if it's going to be this bad, I need you to pretend that it's real. To really commit and don't either

Starting point is 00:19:10 act like you're in a silly thing. No. Not at all. And again, not to shade the performers who were more natural or closer to the line, but yeah, it's like you need that breathless, like commitment to the terror. Whereas like, you know, Ashley,

Starting point is 00:19:25 Tisdale like I thought she did a fine job you know carrying the movie along but I feel like there could have been more of that of that real sense of like oh you know you're terrified of the situation you're flustered you're you're deteriorating that was not there in anything that she said she was like um mama might be here we have to get the kids I was like she you know you want it to be like them to actually believe that mama is there and we have to get the kids out yeah and you want them to respond at least like there's a ghost or a demon and like how again, not that it has to be naturalistic or realistic, but to have that level

Starting point is 00:20:00 like, yeah, Anna Ferris always has that level of, like, why and I, like, oh! Exactly. You know, like, you believe that she's terrified of the situation, rather than, like, frustrated by it. Yeah. And, like, that's an approach to comedy having people be above, you know,

Starting point is 00:20:14 the circumstances that normal people would be freaking out over, but I don't think that works in this situation. No, not at all. Not in a scary movie parody. No, when it's, when it's going to be a parody and it's going to be written this badly, it's not even written badly

Starting point is 00:20:28 it's just it's not a great movie so the actors need to take it seriously to go on top of the writing make the writing seem like it's like five stars because it's a spoof do you know what I'm saying like I think anyway although oh yeah go

Starting point is 00:20:42 just last point I'll make it here they often told us one thing they often would touch on in school in film school and stuff was that like an underrated and often overlooked you know like an amateur thing to overlook is the reaction shot reaction shots sell a lot of the things happening on screen

Starting point is 00:20:58 and I feel like this movie could have benefited from action shots that weren't mostly comprised of people looking at whatever the gag wasn't going well that's weird yeah like be and have the characters involved in the situation rather than pointing out that oh this is absurd

Starting point is 00:21:15 and awkward and gross or whatever right because as the audience we know that that's what we're supposed to say that's what we're supposed to be doing and the people in the movie should be there and present and I think be a part of that situation. Ashley Tizale, she took ballet to prepare for this. Wow.

Starting point is 00:21:31 Good. Thank you. Good on you. Thank you so, so much. You know what's funny is that although a parody, Jerry O'Connell's the first actor to play Christian Gray of the 50 Shades of Grey novels since the film adaptation, it wasn't even in production at this time. Let's go.

Starting point is 00:21:48 The way that they got also from Evil Dead had only released a week before this movie came out, and the way that they were able to spoof it, which is weird to me because it looked very good as they got an early script. Really? Yeah. And they spoofed the trailer. So that makes sense.

Starting point is 00:22:07 That's how they got the... Because they got the imagery of the book wrapped in the barbed wire and the tongue and the we're going to get you. And you were right. This is the longest break in the scary movie films seven years. Seven year gap. Seven years.

Starting point is 00:22:21 Oh, wow. The director didn't even like this film. You may have some taste after all. I've heard better things about Malcolm Lee's other stuff. Yeah, he stated that Bob Weinstein called him to direct, told him their requirement, stated that producer constantly interfered with this film. I believe that. Yeah, I believe that. That's a tough one.

Starting point is 00:22:42 That, when you are messed with so much by a producer, you kind of just throw up your hands, you just go, yeah, whatever. Especially in comedy. Yeah, you just go, whatever they want, I have to deliver, because that's, you're just, you just go, whatever they want, I have to deliver, because that's. what will actually make it to screen, which is probably why they did a lot of options. Number one, producers don't ever really know what they want. They're not actual

Starting point is 00:23:04 filmmakers. Some really good producers are. They do make films better. Yeah. But I'm not surprised. Not always the Weinstein's, though. Not them. I'll read one more. The movie was originally supposed to spoof Scream 4, but the studio dropped

Starting point is 00:23:20 the idea when that film did not perform as well as expected at the box office. I don't think that you may have needed to worry about Scream 4. I think maybe worry a little bit more about what you're doing, you know? Yeah, I don't know. I mean,

Starting point is 00:23:36 I'm just being a brat. I mean, you guys know, though, that like, I have struggled through these movies. This is not like, it's not, I always say, I like a good, a well-written movie with a lot of heart. These are not, and I love horror movies too, but like, these ones, the spoof part of it,

Starting point is 00:23:54 the earlier ones were a little bit better than this one. This one truly, I think, was a letdown because of the things that we have already stated. Yeah. So, you know, it is what it is. Tis what it is. But hey, we got scary movie six with the Wayans Brothers coming back to look forward to.

Starting point is 00:24:10 Yeah, I don't think not doing scream helped or hurt this movie in any way, shape, or form. I mean, you know, the combo of Black's paranormal activity is a good call because that was ubiquitous. And I feel like they could. That was great. They could have done better to lean into that in terms of like, again, they pretty much used the paranormal activity format for not much, really, for just a bunch of really sped-up slapstick gags that we're used to seeing. And I feel like there's a lot.

Starting point is 00:24:43 And even the way that they handled the filming of the found footage, I don't begrudge them doing a hybrid because it is sometimes narrative, sometimes we're in camera POV. I think they could have done a lot with the actual paranormal activity side of it in terms of like the surveillance cameras and the handheld cameras. Like there's so many moments where like someone's holding a camera and you'll see a whip pan. And you can tell that they did a cut there. And they had a whole separate shot that they pan to. And you're like, why? Like I know it's hard and you have to map out a found footage movie in a whole other way.

Starting point is 00:25:15 And maybe a movie like, you know, a silly parody movie doesn't need to go to those lengths. But I feel like meeting part way would have been. been nice because yeah there's so many iconic paranormal activity gags that they miss the opportunity on and yeah and various things you guys like that pool looks exactly paranormal activities the house the kitchen it's probably not exactly the same but they did a good job with the environment so why not utilize it in the best way possible also why not try to make it actually scary because we already know it's sort of like ha ha we get it but they could have played a lot more with the silences like that that's what scary movies do they do a really good job of

Starting point is 00:25:53 building the suspense there. And I thought, like, you could take one moment where it's like nine, six, make it sort of silent, somewhat scary, and then, I don't know, scare us legitimately. Yeah, totally. Like, even if you're going to go for your obvious punchline, like, at least create some kind of tension before we get there. Because I think that's the trouble with a lot of this movie. It's just that the jokes and the gags often are quite obvious.

Starting point is 00:26:18 Yeah, it's like, huh. Yeah, and that's always been a part of these movies, but I feel like sometimes you can get away with an obvious joke if you subvert some kind of other buildup to it, you know? Right. Or, yeah, create some kind of tension before hitting us with that. Right. I thought the turning on,

Starting point is 00:26:35 turn it off again, evil dead gag was kind of fun. Yeah, that was fun. Them reading the words and being like, oh, nothing's happening. And then we just keep cutting upstairs. That was kind of neat. That was fun. The Evil Dead, looking left, looking right, and the sound effect. Like, that was kind of fun. There are a couple neat sets and things, but yeah,

Starting point is 00:26:50 this is i feel for for the people involved in this because this did not hit the way you would hope uh but what did you guys think is this your favorite scary movie is this number one for you what's your favorite moment in the film leave us your comments your ideas your thoughts and opinions and we'll catch you in a few years for scary movie six and hopefully that'll be even better until next time uh stay spooky Eric Horsman, my dude, if there is anyone who I would like to engage in various scatological and, you know, bodily, functional and sexual humorous situations with, this has got to be you. I would love to scatological with you. Absolutely. I mean, just, you know, set up a bunch of cameras throughout your house and then we can record ourselves as well.

Starting point is 00:27:49 And I feel like, you know, together, we could make a little adult streaming empire, is all I'm saying. And then, you know, we can dress up as some of your favorite horror movie characters. But we don't even have to stick to that. Like, we could dress up like the girl in episode five of Haunting of Hillhouse. I love the girl from episode five of Haunting of Hillhouse. Every time I go to conventions. Yeah. And that girl from episode five of Haunting the Hillhouse is there.

Starting point is 00:28:13 Bedneck lady, I think. She's not even bedneck lady. She's just a regular before she's bedneck lady. a character. So distinguishable. I could always tell. I know who you. Rose.

Starting point is 00:28:26 Rose. See, we got there. We wouldn't have gotten there without Eric. We got there. It's good thing Eric was here to remark to you of his favorite. That is your profile pick. And, I mean, that actress is terrific. She is.

Starting point is 00:28:38 She is one of the best actresses in that whole ensemble. And totally just so recognizable, I can mention. Yeah. It's just a normal person. Plus, you know That's a good show Yeah, it was a good show. And yeah, Eric also would love to

Starting point is 00:28:53 He's also a vegan. He is. There's other facts. He's the atheists of diets. Dietary practitioners. What do you eat on Christmas? Yeah, Eric. You just eat like bread.

Starting point is 00:29:07 Some nice loaf of Christmas bread. How about a, how about some Christmas cabbage or a Christmas carrot? Or a Christmas. Cous Cous or a Christmas Cabbage. I'm not going to lie to you, John. I'm going to have a hard time contributed to the show. It's all good. Eric's here.

Starting point is 00:29:25 People had a hard time contributing to the script of this movie, so it matches quite well. Thanks for saving me. Yeah, absolutely. I love you, Eric. Happy Christmas and you stay pervy out there.
