Starting point is 00:01:09 How are you, dude? I'm feeling good, man. I'm glad we had a talk. We usually have talks that derail my schedule, you bastard. Let's get to it. All right, guys, well, we just watched Scooby-Doo zombie island. My very first Scooby-Doo animated thing I've ever seen. If you leave a like on this video, that'd be very much appreciated.

Starting point is 00:01:32 Be sure to subscribe, click that notification bell as well. And Prepper. Thanks right now in these highlights. Now we don't have much time right now. We've been delayed in between the reaction and the review. Some stuff happened. So we got to keep this brief. But Aaron, your first honest to God thoughts, hand on Bible.

Starting point is 00:01:51 It's not a Bible. It's my other hand. I like this movie. I thought it was a lot of fun. I definitely had that 90s flare. there were some kind of corners cut in the animation but i thought it was really fun overall i think that added to the charm i really like the background animations i thought the designs for the zombies were really cool about the twists from the cats was was fun and kind of campy and yeah i thought i liked

Starting point is 00:02:14 the the campiness of the the setting and the reveal and i like the music i thought the musical number the music that was played in the third act was really fun and i think that it just highlighted that what they showed in the live action movie was accurate to have things kind of play out between all these characters you know i can't remember if it was the first one or second one word fred was kind of doubtful and you know daphne does have some semblance of skill and shaggy and scuba usually the one stumbling upon the thing and then being all to themselves and and kind of eating everything in their wake or just being some semblance of goofy so yeah i think it continued that and put them in a fun little one-off adventure and a

Starting point is 00:02:57 a cool setting and yeah I had a good time with it what did you not like about it what did I not like about it um I think the maybe the it was both charming and not off putting but

Starting point is 00:03:13 I think the animation was it's dated but it's also can be distracting at times and maybe take away from some of the gravity of the situations but I also liked it and it's like a so bad it's good kind of a way um it was maybe a little short you know you don't really get to

Starting point is 00:03:33 have an in-depth connection with these characters but i don't know what this movie was necessarily about um it's not extremely deep i don't think it was trying to be i don't want to fall to move or something it's not trying to be but i think for the things that it's set out to be i think it succeeded in those regards so yeah i don't think i disliked too much about it i think it was kind of what I expected from Scooby-Doo movie. What about you, man? What do you think? I give it a one out of ten.

Starting point is 00:04:04 Worst reaction. For my first time, go around, I actually, I mean, I love the animation. I thought the animation was excellent. I'm not used to seeing animation like that anymore. And like the charm of a very 90s, I'm assuming, direct-a-d-D-D-H-S type of animation or made for TV type of animation.

Starting point is 00:04:26 Probably. This still looks great. It looks better than a lot of actually theatrically release it today, honestly. It beats out a lot of the computer stuff. So while there was like some times in the frames and stuff that, but we see that with hand-drawn animation on shows today. Invincible, like a show, like a huge show like Invincible makes fun of that, that they cut corners intentionally.

Starting point is 00:04:45 So I'm not bothered by it because you could tell there's so much like they have to draw like all these frames and I love like the movement, the motion. and so much of the time the way they handle like the foreground of stuff the background a lot of times like the foreground of the characters is really crisp and the backgrounds kind of look like blurred out paintings and i love the aesthetic of that uh the louisiana vibes i thought was really great too yeah i i'm a sucker for louisiana vibes in um in movies and shows like the you know the supernatural angle of them i i don't know what it is about it there's like a certain

Starting point is 00:05:23 type of charm that i don't know how louisiana feels about being typecast or looked at i'm sure people like i think people actually like go on tours in louisiana to kind of let's see some gypsies or some shit like that or fortune tellers you know i think gypsies is an offensive word you couldn't hear me i was doing air quotes because it's offensive now um so yeah i liked i really i enjoyed that that side of it and i thought my favorite part was a scrooby and shaggy personally i could see why they are the highlights of it um the the the the the the whole thing with wanting to know like what the hell the mystery actually was i like how everything tied back in almost every single thing we encounter tied back in like to even having one more twist on top of it with the detective as well and i appreciate the commitment to actually giving us some truly spooky visuals with the supernatural side yeah it was really good some pretty neat stuff and it was fun i'd did crave more and you know it's the thing is like that first live action movie i thought did a

Starting point is 00:06:30 surprisingly good job at getting me connected to the characters and making it about the characters and that was one of the things that in the part two that i i felt kind of but my my uh the intuition i had was that um the second movie would be more accurate to the way the cartoons are which is more like this yeah you know which is you just have the the two dimensional personalities and you're going on an adventure with them which is exactly what i sort of expected and this movie gave me um but i did in terms of the lens of a movie wish that because i i didn't really feel like this movie actually captured what makes each of them so distinct other than a couple of little notes you know like i didn't really get a sense of like the the fred's personality

Starting point is 00:07:19 or daphne or velma's personality honestly like i well i felt like daphne would actually uncover stuff she's like the actual smart nerd one of the group and then she would intentionally uncover stuff and then shaggy and scuba would stumble into things i don't really yeah but i agree with you on uh velma and i'm sorry on uh fred and daphne yeah other than them you know having a reality show i don't really know what they brought to this yeah and velma um yeah i mean like velma would have like the i i admit i think the movie and the live action movies are longer and because it's a live action movie they're intentionally going to give you more personality and more of these shades that I'm sure through the time spent in the actual

Starting point is 00:08:00 cartoon series you get. So this is made for people who spent time in the cartoon series. So they're not going to be having the same wants and cravings that I am having. And I can totally respect that. I'm just, I've got to be honest, my personal feeling on this experience because that was a good, like, um, a good first time. first go-around though to be part of this this journey and i was still found a very charming i still found it very amusing and it's really cute and endearing you know like i could see especially like it's made for little kids too and so for little kids like this is like perfect entertainment and uh if you're someone who grew up on this it's it's perfect too and like if you laugh this

Starting point is 00:08:44 the love for scooby-doo and watching it i can see why it's like this is one of the great animated movies of scooby-doo um but i don't know about like someone like me who's not as familiar with it but i still i would be lying if i said i didn't have a good time watching it i had a really good time watching it and it was uh i'm still i'm still charmed by a lot of it i really appreciated it regardless yeah they're okay if there's one i could ask for more of kind of like the ending wrapped up fairly quickly so maybe if there was a uh a way to maybe elongate that or like go more into that i think that could have been cool and yeah i thought this was the one i don't remember the movie title i don't remember any other details about the movie that i thought this was but i know

Starting point is 00:09:27 that it has uh a rock band girl trio called the hex girls and i don't remember anything else about it but yeah um but other outside of that i thought this was a really fun time yeah hey i got some questions from the royal rejects oh should we should all right let's get to it now to help out with the editors here we're going to give some claps here some claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps claps i'm gonna do cat let the cat first that's an easy one what's your favorite scrooby-doo movie for me from the three i've seen i was still rank number one okay yeah um i'm gonna go too i like i like two monsters unleashed that it was it was really fun seeing the the classic ones the classic monsters and stuff this one is is also really fun but yeah i'll say two is

Starting point is 00:10:23 No, my favorite. All right. Malick Curry. Hey, where would you rank Zombie Island among the other animated Scooby-Doo films you've watched? That's great because I don't remember any of them. So I'm going to say it's number one. Yeah. Out of all them, this is my number one favorite animated movie.

Starting point is 00:10:43 For sure. Oh, God. All right. Look, guys, it's summer, which means more sweating, more heat. way more reasons to stay on top of your hydration I value liquid IV so much you guys have no idea I've been working hard this year as many of you have been so kind to notice strict diet consistent exercise managed to lose 45 pounds starting from January of this year they're with no shortcuts no shots no shots fired at people who do shots by the way I'm just saying I made real progress

Starting point is 00:11:16 and one thing that's really helped me along the way is this bad boy right here so when I'm filming for hours or hitting the gym or dealing with Valley Heat or dealing with a broken AC like I'm filming right now. Might see some sweat pours on me. Liquid Ivy is a staple in my routine. And this summer, they've dropped a flavor that's perfect for the season. It's called Arctic Raspberry. It's crisp, refreshing, and feels like a cold plunge for your taste buds.

Starting point is 00:11:43 It just tastes so like I crave it as just an actual drink. I find I crave it. And what I love is how easy it is. You guys just saw me do it. You just tear, pour, and shake into 16 ounces of water. And it hydrates you two times fast in the water alone. Sometimes it makes me with my protein shakes. It's powered by LIV hydra science with three times the electrolytes of leading sports drinks,

Starting point is 00:12:03 plus eight essential vitamins and minerals. It's non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free. Free, it makes you feel free. I pretty much don't travel anywhere without it. And generally, if you prefer going sugar-free most of the time like myself, You can try their lemon lime, their rainbow sherbert, their white peach, their white peach is delicious. No artificial sweeteners and still taste amazing. So if you're working hard, playing hard, or sweating through your shirt this summer or while filming in a studio with broken AC,

That's Liquidiv.com code rejects. tear poor live more even coy genre will attest he used it the other day thank you liquid ivy for sponsoring this video hasina ali please read it big one uh yes scooby do matthew little took over the voice role of shaggy and the animated scooby-do series in films since the original actor casey casum retired in 2009 would you react to any of these later scooby-doo animated movies i think

Starting point is 00:13:10 Lillard did a the standalone Scooby-Doo sequel to Zombie Island called Return to Zombie Island and do you think he is a great replacement after watching the live-action films? I think he would be an excellent replacement and I didn't know they did a sequel. I'm curious to know where the sequel goes considering they stopped the people that ran Zombie Island. But yeah, I think he is a great shaggy, both in live action and animated. And I would love to watch that. I mean, what this movie really did for me too, because I only knew like,

Starting point is 00:13:40 some of the you know lines that heard in passing of shaggy's voice oh wait i did see that warner brothers scooby do one that superhero one this is way better than that that was number two in my animated list um the but this really did highlight for me even more so is like how perfect matthew lillard was in the live action for sure because i was like damn i i feel like matthew lillard's voicing this guy i know it's not matthew lither when i'm watching this but I kept seeing and hearing Matthew Lillard every time we were cutting back to Shaggy. Yeah, he captures the spirit of it really well. Probably one of the best adaptations from source material or original cartoon to a new thing.

Starting point is 00:14:22 And also what this also highlighted for me too was, um, uh, Linna Carlin. Yeah, yeah, I was like, damn. Yeah, even though the voice and stuff like, then the mannerisms. Yeah. I was like, holy shit. Yeah, they really, that one I had no real connection to. And that one, uh, that this has highlighted that for me really well. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:37 I think she's underrated in what it comes. comes to comparing one to one but yeah because matthew lillard stills the show in that regard but yeah i think both them do great all right we got a we got a thick one here all righty sarah mirandes all the scooby-do movies are my comfort movies it's such an easy watcher because there's mystery involved that keeps you engage exactly i think the the mystery is a big saving part of it is like even though i'm not really latching on to like heart of the characters uh i'm like but i really want to figure out this damn mystery. I love how scary for a kid's movie this one is.

Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah, I agree. Probably one of the scares the series. They really committed to that. Do you prefer the more lighthearted ones or do you prefer the more dark and scary ones? I don't have any other reference, but I would assume that I naturally, just for my sensibilities, whenever they go dark and scary, I am completely more drawn to that, like 99.9% of the time. So I can already answer in advance that I would be more drawn to that. what about you uh i would i like the the darker toned ones i don't know i think they each have like a

Starting point is 00:15:42 different variety of a thing to offer but i would say the darker tone ones feel more akin to what they're trying to go for when it with them going after monsters and ghosts and stuff yeah watching this one made me think oh i feel like there's a variety of different things we could do if we were to ever get another live act scoooo movie i think there's um a real opportunity to do a genuinely scary mystery with having comedy flourishes in there. Yeah, yeah. You could do like a Logan version. Yeah. They're all just retired.

Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah. He's just like old man and Fred's all seen out. Yeah. Recomminations of other ones like Cybercase, which is ghost, Lockness. Oh man, no, I have this written down already. Don't you fret? Second question. Do you prefer the earlier animation to the more recent ones? You've made

Starting point is 00:16:30 a comment about the eyeballs or the pupils? Yeah, because I know the yeah the original hannah barbara ones they had just like dots for eyes and this one they actually had colored eyes i'm like oh i forgot that that was a thing or maybe yeah i didn't remember that they had actual eyes and i was like huh i guess it makes sense that fred has blue eyes but i never really thought that daffini did so that was interesting to see that but um yeah i don't know there's something charming about that original animation but i think them adapting it for a later audience is Also really cool.

Starting point is 00:17:05 I think my favorite Scooby-Doo property is what's new Scooby-Doo. They came on like the 2000s era. That theme song, if you guys remember that show on that theme song, let me know in the comments below. But yeah, I think I would say that the newer one holds a closer place in my heart. But, you know, I always got to love a classic. But yeah, if I'm going to pick one, I would pick darker and newer. For sure, for sure. Let's see here.

Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah. Well, they ended off for me. There's just something nostalgia about the 70s, the 90s. Don't mind the early 2000s. But hey, the late Tony Tons suck in their opinion. It's okay, Sarah. It's okay to have that opinion. But thank you for the in-depth question. Pierre the Reject.

Starting point is 00:17:50 Love your name. What did you guys think of the soundtrack? That is one of my favorite parts of this movie. I love actual, like, getting a band together to do an in a movie type of song, you know, with like a whole band. and it's all just composed just for the film i find that's so charming and i miss that they just don't do it anymore and i miss it so much i think it's one of the cheesy corny things that i think is actually really charming and i wish they were bringing it back so i loved it yeah i really liked it too not only the original music they did for here but the the the redux or the the newer version of the

Starting point is 00:18:32 classic Scooby-Doo theme i was like yeah i'm all about that i really set the tone for the beginning of the movie but also the song they did at the end the one they played in the credits was also really good i'm like i'm gonna look this up after i'm actually you're i was thinking that too i was thinking that too yeah yeah the movie the music slaps heck yeah all right our last one jossi soto zombie island is considered just about the best scooby-doo film there is nay scoob from warner brothers superhero What did you guys think about the reveal of the supernatural being real? I felt like it would be from the get-go.

Starting point is 00:19:09 And what did you guys think of the soundtrack? We have talked about that. I still listen to its terror time again. That's the name of the song. Thank you. Yes. And do you guys plan to complete the quartet, Witches Ghost, Cyber Chase, and Alien Invasion?

Starting point is 00:19:21 Maybe. We'll see how this one goes down. Yeah. memory of but I would um I would be down if yeah if you guys show up you guys want to watch them I would love to do these movies what do you think about the reveal being supernatural I think that's clever I thought it was cool I mean I changed it up from the the usual thing we're expecting so to see them interact with something that is actually of the supernatural was a nice change of pace and I hope that trend continues I could see how that would make it the scariest one too and I think

Starting point is 00:19:58 it's a good payoff for see that's what I mean I think for people who like grew up with the cartoon and then they're watching so many mysteries where it's like no it's some guy in a mask it's a hologram you're watching that for so long yeah that's why I was asking in the middle of the movie of like is this the first time this gang has encountered

Starting point is 00:20:16 something that's a supernatural is this their first time because that was the sense I was getting especially by Fred's dialogue of how much he kept rejecting the possibility that this is real so I could see how that's such a payoff for people who were

Starting point is 00:20:31 so conditioned by that but I felt like the movie was really conditioning you for it will be a real super because they did the montage of everything. Yeah, I'd want to see if there's a continuity to these films. I know I'm pretty sure the ones that they've all mentioned came out in the 90s. But yeah, I wonder if they

Starting point is 00:20:49 reference these other experiences and having those experiences inform how they approach this new thing or if they're just all one-offs and they forgot what happened as soon as they leave the island. But yeah, either way I'm excited. Yeah. Well, I had a fun time. I'm glad we did it. Aaron, I hope you had a good time. I know you got to get out of here. Thank you guys so much for being here.
