When you're strange, people go out in the rain.

Starting point is 00:01:51 When you're strange. That's yes. all right j t do you have sisters because way to way to write a monologue about how afraid women are and maybe that was the point he's like i too am afraid yeah no isn't the same giovanni rabisi i don't know that's a not common name that is one where i encourage roxy to do her thing all right roxy just looked it up geovina rabisi is the cinematographer of this and he was in it and for a second we must have missed it also the

Starting point is 00:02:34 cast I kept being like Will Fitzgerald Where have I watched her? She was in the fall of the House of Usher. She was also in Reacher for a season which makes sense And it's done a lot of other great stuff Which season was Shannon Reacher? I think it's the probably the second one but let me look right now Did you watch Reacher?

Starting point is 00:02:50 Yes in all Oh Um She's not Roscoe is she? No Yeah she's Rosco She's Roscoe and I couldn't piece that the whole time she looks very different she looks very different um so what season was that i don't remember that was one it was one the whole time i couldn't piece that she was roscow man

Starting point is 00:03:11 that's that's an embarrassment on my end i loved reacher but i didn't i don't remember season one as well as like it was years ago but i should have pulled her from fall house of usher which i didn't end up i only watched the first episode but wow what a drastically different character oh man i i can't I don't believe I did not place that. I am obsessed with Kyle Gowler. Holy crap. To me, he was like, whoa, in this. All right, ladies and gentlemen, well, as we go into this,

Starting point is 00:03:43 please do the business of leave a like on this video. Every Thursday, we upload our horror thriller movie reactions. So subscribe, click that bell. Prepper. This is the kind of movie that's a pain in the ass to get around for ad suitability. So I know there's been a lot of reedits. I could already tell the futures and a lot of readouts I went into this

Starting point is 00:04:01 so appreciate all your diligence and hard work on this. We're going to mix up the structure a little bit because I see one question here that I think would be a perfect kickoff from our Royal Reject. We're going to answer this question. Then we're going to go into our review

Starting point is 00:04:14 and then we're going to answer some more questions. So, Kev B, Greg and Roxy, if you had to sum up your gut reaction to this movie and one word, what would it be and why? Roxy, please. You go first, Greg. Oh, man, really?

Starting point is 00:04:28 I was kind of hoping to have. had time to think uh i would say yeah you tried to throw that on me you had already read the question you already thought of it it's unfair it's unfair um i would say my my first reaction is um impressed like that's my i thought this was an incredibly impressive film a lot of times these movies are super duper hyped and a lot of times they do live up to the hype i would say and other times they don't and usually we're together i feel like we're pretty good at like predicting shit together. And we got like a couple of things right, but nothing that was like, I don't feel like

Starting point is 00:05:02 there's anything like monumentally correct to the point where it detracted from the experience or like, oh, we definitely, because there's so much twist and turns throughout. I thought it was just a brilliantly crafted piece of cinema and we can dive more into the depth. So what's the one word for you? I guess it would be particular. Like this movie was so particular and specific. Like every moment, every shot, every sound cue.

Starting point is 00:05:27 They were very detail-oriented with this. The coloring, the choices, the way that they structured it, it was very unique to itself. So it was really particular. Yeah, it's a great puzzle piece of an experience. During the reaction, we were highlighting both of them very much, the Kyle Gellner and I'm sorry, what is her name? Willa Fitzgerald.

Starting point is 00:05:51 Willa Fitzgerald. She does look like a Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald. I was so wowed by her during it. She's amazing. And I felt like there was a tiny bit more of you lifting up Kyle for your personal experience. So was he like the main standout performer for you in this one? I think they both did such an amazing job, but such an amazing job.

Starting point is 00:06:20 We see between Samara weaving and what is? the girl's name that everybody loves who is the star of that chess show oh, Anya Taylor Joy Anya Taylor Joy and like the big eye white blonde girl companion girl too

Starting point is 00:06:41 companion girl um she's Sophie Thatcher yeah we see that type a lot um even like going back in the day my favorite performance of all time is Charlize Theron and Monster so which is very is different, but Charlese looks more like them,

Starting point is 00:07:00 obviously not in the movie. But we see that type more, and it's not to take anything away from Willis' performance. It was phenomenal, but not as different or surprising to me as what he did. Because, like, the ability to go out of your own body and know that you are playing a cop,

Starting point is 00:07:24 which right now is super unpopular, you're playing a guy who's chasing after a woman you are labeled as the devil and to like fully embody that and also like to the point where when he is strangling her and she's not saying her safe word and you're like I know something's off

Starting point is 00:07:43 but the way that he was selling it and just so there there was something about his performance to me that was just like this guy seems effed up and lost in a way that we don't depict men on screen ever and we we do do this with women a lot more.

Starting point is 00:07:59 Not all the time, and especially not that bait and switch aspect. But I mean, I don't want to, there's a movie I want to point out, but I feel like it's such a spoiler if I pointed out. So I'm not going to say what movie is. About the guy? About the girl. Where we did do this. Where, yeah, you find out that she's actually like a mastermind killer.

Starting point is 00:08:20 And I think you guys would know what there's not too many of them that are really huge, but there's one in particular that I can. Did I watch it this year? See, I don't know if you've seen it, so I don't want to ruin it. But did I watch it for the channel this year? No, you did. Because it reminded me, you just brought up Sophie Adder, kind of reminded me of companion a little bit,

Starting point is 00:08:33 where we start one way and then, like, we see kind of the switch, but then she's not evil, whatever it is. But there, there, we, I was so impressed by Will. I think she was amazing. There was not one thing about her that wasn't excellent. He was just more unexpected to me, I guess. Yeah, I think both roles are kind of a deconstruction. What, to me, this whole movie is,

Starting point is 00:08:56 is a play on the genre and a flip and the the the I don't know what specific genre of type of film it is like the thriller capture victim breaks like the typical movie structure of a film like this would be meet cute whatever they go back to the hotel and then like I could I could already see the beats of a typical structure and then you find out he's really a killer he's torturing her then she escapes and then slowly over the course of the film she finds her a confidence it becomes more violent and into her own and she takes down the killer you know but she's a changed woman by the end and she's more like you know finds her own agency but that's usually the structure companion was yeah that's that's

Starting point is 00:09:39 primarily the structure of a lot of the movies when the when the main protagonist is a woman who's a in a victim situation I would call what you just described genre wise as kind of like romantic drama which is a bit of what this what like

Starting point is 00:09:56 this kind of took from a romantic comedy structure with its beats but continue yeah yeah and they do like a final girl like a lot of times this girl would be a final girl basically and uh i was so wowed by how this movie kept bobbing and weaving and knew how to mess with the audience who knows these kinds of movies to the point where it was such a immediate like it was one of those things where like I had two minds at once the whole time of like I couldn't help but try to predict what was going to happen but I was also so in the moment you know I was so like enveloped in in the moment of what was happening like I love that they mix up the chapters it's it's a it's a battle of perspective right and then you go into that the first couple where you are depicting her as like the person who is being hunted and then when you go to them in the in front of the Blue Motel and they're kicking it. We were both there and like, this is so endearing.

Starting point is 00:11:02 This is surprisingly like really, and the more it goes, there's that part in my brain at least that's going. Okay, I feel like there's something like villainous about her, but I still feel like he's a villain. You know, I still kept thinking he's a villain in some way. But then as the movie kept going, you're like, I don't feel like he's maybe a villain, you know? And it took a while before my,

Starting point is 00:11:25 mind got there of thinking he's not a villain well they're dropping hints like we we don't have the same shelf in the refrigerator but we know he's married he's in his ring and we we've referenced her so you think a little bit villainous we see him strap up on his ankle you think a little villainous when we start of course we see the car chase we see the pretty early on here kitty kitty so I think that that's exactly what they were trying to do that's why it works his character to me was just so shocking like because they had dropped all that stuff as opposed to kind of we dropped like we dropped evil stuff about him but we were dropping evil stuff about her like you you pointed it out and I was thinking about it too from the second

Starting point is 00:12:05 that she's in the car and you hear like that dun so and yeah the first part when her hand that was the first clue to me that there's the sound the sound cue I said it looks like a zombie like yeah and then when it does an evil horror sound of the of like wait a minute she's the I thought she's the she's the protagonist escaping why would they do a horror movie music cue and I felt like that was a massive indicator and you even pointing out like how they're both not driving in the same lane yeah i think this is meant to make you question you know so there was that's what i mean it's this good like visual directing and good visual hints but i do like the peeling back of the layers and ultimately how they're both like transforming over the course of the film and how

Starting point is 00:12:43 she becomes accepting over the course that she is indeed the devil that she's that she keeps seeing throughout the entire thing. And if you guys have seen the studio, it constantly makes me look at more bookends than ever. Got to love a good bookend. And I thought there was a brilliant bookend for a transformational process. I thought that was awesome.

Starting point is 00:13:02 And it's very absorbing. And like, this is a great, this is an amazing journey with technical precision from the directing all around. I agree. I agree. I thought this movie was like truly almost flawless. One thing I think they could have done to switch up a little bit is at the end,

Starting point is 00:13:19 have the two cop rolls switch positions where like maybe the woman's trying to do things by the book and the man is like look at this like clearly a victim because I do think that we did see a lot of like like the women kind of like her doing that and making that mistake it's kind of hard for me to describe what I'm thinking but actually I don't want to get trashed on I've taken it back rewind what I just said and don't make me say it I mean, if while we keep talking, you do want to bring it up again? No, no, because I know people, they don't like when I say things like this, but I just think that's like subverting our expectations of what a female character can do versus a male character. It's very, very common to have the male cop be the one who is right and the female cop be the one who makes a stupid mistake. And we saw that again here, which is totally fine because we also have a bad-ass female lead who doesn't, make mistakes she like is outsmarting everybody but it's just every time I see I watch a lot of cop shows as you know and it's always always the woman who's like making the dumb mistake of being thinking emotionally and the man who's thinking logically and maybe there's validity to that in life but I think it would have been cooler to see that switch where he sees somebody and wants to help and she's like we got to do this by the book because we see the opposite all the time and this movie was all about like flipping and so it would be cool to see that Well, she's really good at playing into the victim role.

Starting point is 00:14:52 She is. And then she, because, yeah, she encounters, like, the two women at the hotel, praise on them. I mean, in fairness, like, at Begley Jr., falls for it, too. But a woman is the one who ultimately takes her down at the end of it all. Which I thought was, like, a neat thing. And I like the way they established how the small town is, like, you believe this, everyone in this town would have a gun. Completely agree. and like this the writer is a man

Starting point is 00:15:19 that he like I'm I feel very confident that he has a lot of close women in his life because I love the way he wrote these characters and like some of the speeches were just so so great so I think he did an amazing job not with just the writing the directing also is just the one thing that I can point out that to me

Starting point is 00:15:36 I was like oh I think it would have been better for a switch that's fair that's really fair and kudos that you finally rabisi I'm shot incredibly man I want to see what else he's DP'd because that to be his first would be crazy. I mean, he was truly like, the cinematography is some of our favorite stuff in the movie. That one shot

Starting point is 00:15:55 with the smoke where I was like, that's one of the cool shots I have seen in a long, long time. And for me and you watching this as the little friends fans that we are. Well, I love a movie when a camera can feel like a character appearing in. Like there's some type of presence and it wasn't until

Starting point is 00:16:11 much later on where I kept wondering, like, why are there all these shots where the camera's coming from below and there's other shots where the cameras coming from above? A lot of that, it could feel like the religious symbolism of, like, God judging and you're playing the devil's game when you're looking up. And there's a lot of shots of with her, especially when the camera's, like, pointed down, looking up at her. So it's like, as a genre subversion, I thought it is such a good job. I was wildly impressed with her work because I know the cliche of what they normally do. And I really believe, like with Willa.

Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah, I think. Me too, Greg. I don't want anybody to think I wasn't. I think she was phenomenal. Yeah. the way she like flips around and she was so believable and you have to even though it's non-linear you have to really as i feel like the actors both of them have to really understand how this movie's going to unfold for the audience even though like the sequence of events is not the same way the

Starting point is 00:17:04 characters are experiencing it but you have to kind of play into as well in the way the audience will experience it so it's such a hard thing for actors to do as opposed to no what am i just supposed to be in this scene because you have to sort I imagine sometimes you have to kind of lean into this one quality because of this is what the audience is expecting in this moment for this character to be at that time so smart. I also thought that

Starting point is 00:17:26 that long shot at the end of her I don't know how you do that. I mean that performance was like I think that both of them honestly were Oscar caliber performances in this like really truly amazing. Okay so Giovanni

Starting point is 00:17:42 Rabisi was the DP on a music video in 2014. Okay. Then on a short in 2014, then he did another music video in 2020 and then another music video in 2020. So this is his first

Starting point is 00:17:56 directorial debut for a feature. I mean, sorry, DP debut for a feature. And he produced it, so he was able to, I think because he produced it, he was able to be like, well, I'll produce this if you let me be at the DP for it. Or maybe they couldn't

Starting point is 00:18:12 find the right DP and he's like, okay, I'll do it. Because I can't think of a DP who would have been better at this in the world. Like, that was to me so, so unbelievable. Oh, and the music also, too, was, like, phenomenal in this film. Yeah, Craig de Leon was who did the music. I don't know him, but he's done for a bunch of TV shows. Oh, yeah, for Fatal Attraction, for Big Vap, A Man in Full, Shadow Force. Velma.

Starting point is 00:18:42 did you see that Goliath yeah a lot of shows all right damn I know you hate when I do this but I really want to look up what the budget of this movie

Starting point is 00:18:54 I don't hate it look it up what do you think one two million dollars oh really that's probably a little high honestly

Starting point is 00:19:02 oh really I would have guessed like five I mean you got at Bagley Jr I mean oh yeah these actors by this point in this career estimated it's four

Starting point is 00:19:12 million dollars grows 4.8 worldwide in the opening weekend so good for them this was so so so good i mean if if i'd watched this last year it would have been on my list of favorite movies from last year that was amazing that was amazing that is a is it based on a real story i highly doubt okay let me look because that'd be crazy right yeah i think you can just say shit really yeah i believe you can you're not it's a movie yeah it's not Yeah, I'd be very surprised if it was actually a true story. But there's some real-life influences, he says. I'll go to look at those.

Starting point is 00:19:53 Let's read some cues from the patients first. Or some of a lot of these are just like comments, actually, those bruising them. We like to clap before to make it easier for them. Maggie Mays just says, oh, my God, strange, darling. Can't wait for that reaction. Well, I hope you enjoyed this reaction. Thank you for supporting us.

Starting point is 00:20:09 I kind of feel like I blacked out for some of it, where I was just like smiling ear to ear with how much I liked it. And then all of a sudden I was like, I have not said a word in 20 minutes. I'm just so enamored by this. Yeah, you stopped asking questions at a certain point. Did I? Very much not like you.

Starting point is 00:20:24 It was like a 10 minute stretch. You were asking quite a few questions. Yeah, about one-fourth of the questions you asked. Why do you hate my question asking? I don't hate your question asking. Rudy Jignation, as many of you know, I got very serious about my health this year. Since January, I've dropped nearly 50 pounds and a little over 10% body fat.

Starting point is 00:20:46 And when one is committed like that, you start to realize it's not just about hitting a number on a scale. It's about building a sustainable lifestyle.

Starting point is 00:22:32 hasn't seen house at the fall of the house of usher i have not seen it maybe one day yeah it's a Mike Flanagan show. I know. It's a disappointment of myself that I haven't seen it. Me too. It's the only Mike Flanagan show. I haven't watched fully. Apparently, Malner was almost forced to drop the non-linear narrative. Oh,

Starting point is 00:22:50 that would have sucked. Do you think that would have drastically impacted your opinion in the film? Yes. A thousand percent. Also, how does this compare to other non-linear films you've seen? Usually, the non-linear films that I've seen are either like Momento, where we're going back, one way to the

Starting point is 00:23:06 or like sliding doors where it splits off. I don't think I've ever seen something like this where we know for fact we're doing six parts and then we name the parts in which we're doing it. This is the first time I've seen something done as specifically as that. And I thought it worked brilliantly. Yeah, a lot of the time nonlinear movies to me

Starting point is 00:23:27 feel like from the get-go, they're intentionally structured to make you be like, all right, what's going on? Look how clever this is. And a lot of times, like, cleverness can work. I really feel like he crafted a movie that was linear. And he's like, what if I just mix up the structure? It felt genuine in the way the structure.

Starting point is 00:23:43 Maybe he wanted to from the beginning mix it up. But there was something in the way it was done that didn't seem like it was, look at me, look how clever we are with this. It just, it felt really natural. Like, you just, to me, it lent more into the natural side of perspective. Like, if you just see these chapters first, you will have a different interpretation. I thought that was a smart way. Mike Joyce, you know Mike Joyce.

Starting point is 00:24:10 You think Strange Island was so well received because of its nonlinear storytelling. I mean, it's a part of the effect, right? I don't think it would have been as well received if not for that, because then if you think about it, okay, so it would been about a serial killer who is a woman, she meets this man, she tricks this man, and then we see her almost kill him,

Starting point is 00:24:30 and then he chases after her, and then she still wins. that's not like as enticing at all as opposed to us being like why is she on the run from him what happened so yeah I do think that's part of it but I also think it's because the cinematography the music the performances the dialogue was awesome the lack of dialogue at the beginning really brings you in so for all the reasons I mean I guess you could have done it from his perspective where he's like meets a girl at a hotel brings her back to the bar I don't know if you know when he's a car That's another thing, too, that I thought this movie, why it worked so well, sometimes when there's the, though, there were a cop reveal, they're like, really, this guy? But he's so perfectly cast. You're like, oh, I could see how he's both a serial killer or a cop in this town. He could definitely be both. And I love the clues that, oh, no wonder he can have the firearms, all this shit. And actually, having a holster around your ankle is such a cop thing to do.

Starting point is 00:25:32 and that's such a giveaway like even reflecting upon it and the stash cop stash he was a cop and smile for a reason Raymond Terry has a living a nice comment Strange darling is a trip

Starting point is 00:25:44 I love what it did thank you so much for the kind words we did answer that one and then I saw a couple more here Eric Horsman he's the one with the real rejects tattoo was also the way that he was like I promise I'm not a serial killer

Starting point is 00:26:00 and he kind of has like a little smile and it's like yeah because oh my god i'm the exact opposite yeah but also probably has killed so it was just like an interesting way for now to look back at that that little smile and then when you're in that scene he's like draped in blue son of a bitch damn oh that's neat oh that's so cool Roxy. Finally, Strange Darling, my 24 best of. So good. I saw in theaters twice in one week.

Starting point is 00:26:37 Yeah. Great to hear. Don't know how much about what y'all talk about that makes the movie great. Cinematography lighting. But the movie and Willa F deserve an effing Oscar, at least a nomination. Absolutely. I think horror performances to this day

Starting point is 00:26:51 are so overlooked. So I guess my question is, why do you think so many independent movies, horror other, yeah, there you go. Get overlooked so much. Is it because of a horror stigma due to all B movies looking at you, Corman Wood, and they're just not taking seriously. Science of the Lambs accepted. I mean, I've talked on this subject quite a bit, but I'd be curious to know your perspective.

Starting point is 00:27:11 Like, I remember when you first came here, we watched Black Phone together, and you have grown so much when it comes to horror now. Why do you think horror gets so overlooked, and it comes to these categories? Well, first of all, I completely agree. Like, I talked a lot about how I thought Naomi should have been nominated for Smile 2. She was so phenomenal. And I agree, if this movie was going to get a nomination for, performance it should have been Willa she was doing like so much of the heavy lifting um she she was

Starting point is 00:27:37 really truly phenomenal um trying to think of the people who were nominated last year there's a lot of great performances but i think that number one horror is not for the masses and that is and it's not trying to be for the masses this isn't a movie that you could recommend to anybody you know it's a movie you would recommend to specific people you know and a lot of oscar movies are they try to be like prestige for the masses. Anybody can watch it, digest it, understand, and fully pull from it. So I think that it's almost in a way not commercial enough. So I think that that's why they overlook it.

Starting point is 00:28:15 I don't think they should, but I think that's part of why. And also, I think there is a stigma against genre films in general, whether it's superhero movies, horror movies, or otherwise, where they think it's not as difficult. Like they think the material is not as difficult. It's not as difficult as embodying a historical figure or, you know, embodying somebody who's more regal or whatever. And as an actress, that's, like, absolute horseshit. And I don't know a single actor who doesn't think that's horse shit.

Starting point is 00:28:48 So, but I think that that's sometimes how the academy seems to vote. Yeah, I think all across the board with any of these things, maybe SAG is a little bit more. I actually don't know. but there's definitely a genre bias when it comes to a lot of these awards things we see it we see with the Emmys you know and you're right I think with horror they do seem like they have to fall in a very specific camp to be noticed like they have to be commercial but they have to be elevated horror commercial like substance like substance like get out and um signs of the lambs like you cited exorcist they have to be that right level it can't just be like the conjuring and

Starting point is 00:29:28 have a great performance and it can't just be an elevated horror movie like this. It's got to be both. Like, there's such a big requirement. There's also horror movies typically have a lower budget and a lower marketing budget and there's a huge game behind how much money you have to put into your marketing

Starting point is 00:29:44 in order to be nominated for an Oscar. We saw that last year with the Mikey Madison movie, right? Where they put as much as the budget of the movie into their marketing budget and push for the Oscars. And I love that movie. I loved her performance. I'm just saying that is true and it does happen. So I think that there isn't the same kind of financial

Starting point is 00:30:03 push for these movies. They're also, I've been learning a lot about what gets nominated and what doesn't. There's not as much of a story behind this, right? Like if you think about something like substance, you think about Demi Moore, art imitating life, the fact that she was out there talking about how she never thought that this moment would happen for her. There was a story and people were able to get behind that story and the nomination comes through. For this, there isn't much of a Hollywood story to it. It's actors that are less known

Starting point is 00:30:34 and a story that is for specific people. The Giovanni Ribisi part of it gives it a little bit of an but I think that they don't look at it as much of a Hollywood. That's true. A lot does also depend on who the talent is

Starting point is 00:30:50 that's attached. Okay. Jay Rushden strange to Jay Rushden this movie reminds me a Pulp Fiction will ever make reaction

Starting point is 00:31:02 to Pulp Fiction there. Yes, there's one person here who hasn't seen Pulp Fiction. Who is it? I'm waiting for the day, Aaron. You know what's crazy is that I was actually thinking about that during this, but I think it's only because

Starting point is 00:31:13 she looks so much like Uma Thurman in her wig when things are dark. And I was like, oh my God, this is giving Pulp Fiction. And when she is over him and you can't see what's going on, it just felt like,

Starting point is 00:31:26 i don't know like a moment tarentino's like non-linear ways or like he's so associated with non-linear and nolan's very non-linear too um and last one which was the first one ryan williams can't wait for strange darling reaction easily one of my favorites from last year uh i appreciate everyone who came in here to leave a comment thank you ryan thank you guys for supporting us here so cool this was an amazing time um would this would have been one of your favorite from last year yeah i still probably would have given the edge to the substance honestly is my favorite movie of last year that was such a good one we love that i know it's it's really hard for me to top that one i agree with you that was so good uh but this

Starting point is 00:32:05 a thousand percent would be in like the top for sure this was that like this was another one i think i said about the substance where i was like i want to get behind the laptop right now i want to write because it has that inspirational thing where it's low budget but they're taking advantage of their their uh their what's the word i'm looking for fucking assets they have access to. Yeah. Yeah. Resources, God damn. That's the word. Resources. Use your resources wisely.
