Thank you for sending them in. Let's go. Jay Nelson 2-2-3-9. I love the real rejects watching the movies and TV shows with you guys
Starting point is 00:01:41 has become a daily thing for me. This is my first time ever leaving comment asking a question and seriously can I express enough how much you guys have become a part of my life and I feel like you guys are friends of mine. I love that. Sienna has become my favorite scream queen of recent years and Lauren Lavera does such an amazing job
Starting point is 00:01:57 expressing the trauma art caused her in the last movie. I know I'd be so terrified of this man trying to get my loved ones or myself killing us in a horrific way. I wanted to ask you, how do you feel about his acting the movie? What's your favorite scene of hers? Each of you have. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Golly. Oh, about her acting. Okay, got it. Okay. That's a tough one. Favorite scene. Yeah, she's just a really great job. it's tough there's a lot of really good ones yeah when she's talking to gabby after it's clear gabby read her journal i thought that was a really nice back and forth because it's a tough moment and you know she could like totally go off on her and you watch her kind of like manage what's going on explain to her then like the okay well i guess you know now so yeah like there's something wrong with you know i'm dealing with this trauma and you know i
Starting point is 00:02:54 record these things so I can bring them to people who can help me. It's like the way the scene was articulated. I thought of just a lot of the, yeah, little personal scenes, the mom and her daughter at the beginning of the movie. Totally. But for Lauren Lavera in specific. Yeah, I mean, she had so
Starting point is 00:03:10 many moments. I feel like any scene they gave her that was just character-oriented was super lovely. Yeah. I think my favorite was her going off from the podcast girl, putting her in her place. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, that was a good one.
Starting point is 00:03:25 And then obviously when she goes to, like, fight, she looks like a badass. I love it. That scene also when she's talking to her aunt and they're reminiscing about mom. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:35 She has, like, really good emotional depth. She can play it really grounded. I like that about her, too. Okay, next. R.C. Flores. Tara, you made it. Barely. I hope you are mentally well, exactly.
Starting point is 00:03:50 The past few movies added more lore to art, the demon that possessed Vicky and Sienna and her father. By the end of Terrified 3, do you think the lore makes sense? Does it help make the films more interesting? I like it. I liked it.
Starting point is 00:04:05 The fact that the sword is like a thing. I'm like, that's fun to me. Yeah. Yeah. I think, you know, it's funny. I feel like this did a great job of getting me excited for four. I feel like more excited for four than I was excited going into three. Because I feel like it's a true cliffhanger in the way that.
Starting point is 00:04:23 oh we got to get our lick back rather the second one sort of felt like it was a resolve with like a little button this one ends on a oh there's going to be more because we have to finish this off yeah right but yeah I think the lore makes sense well for the most part
Starting point is 00:04:39 I'm a little I guess a little perplexed or confused maybe you guys can provide some clarity on that so whoever his assistant is that's the demon who's trying to you know cause chaos and they feed off of like tormented souls or like people that are that are crazy or pseudo killers or whatnot.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I just don't know what art is exactly. I think they've left that purposely ambiguous, but like is it the assistant to the demon? Or is like the art the vessel to whatever the demon that's embodying somebody's a figure is? That's the part that's a little murky for me. It does make me excited to kind of, now that we're all caught up and stuff to kind of go online and see what the general kind of breakdowns or stuff. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Because I think it's really fun. fun, you know, it's a nice way to separate these out, and I think they have a really fascinating take on how to do the lore, because you know, it's a tightrope act, I think, that they're walking, because if you do too much supernatural mumbo-jumbo,
Starting point is 00:05:38 and she's the chosen one, and she's got this magic. If you do too much of that stuff, then there's no stakes, but I think, you know, they do a nice job of making these mostly in the tradition of, like, grounded is the wrong word, but, you know, like a slasher movie where, you know, the only sort of supernatural element seems to be that the killer can be all these places at once.
Starting point is 00:05:59 You know, like a lot of the movie feels more like that, more like something of the real world. And then they bring in these fantastical elements just enough that they do equate to this interesting peripheral magic to me. And I like that this one goes on to expound that, yeah, like these are, this is some kind of demonic force. and I don't know if art is just like a freak of nature or some kind of hell spawn thing that's half human and half demon or whatever like clearly they're you know she births this head to keep him alive
Starting point is 00:06:35 and his body is sort of its own supernatural thing and he gets put back together rather than yeah like a spirit traveling from him to a new body or something like that so I am curious like about the next step of the lore And I think that, yeah, they do just enough of, like, the sword is magic. And, you know, there's some kind of demonic presence at play here. And Sienna being some kind of chosen by angels figure is like, again, I feel like that could easily be super duper silly. And I feel like in this movie, somehow they earn it with the tone.
Starting point is 00:07:12 And the whole comic book thing with the dad and, like, all the kind of collective trauma and also impasseled. that happens through this character that her dad drew for her, I think, is a fun thing to lean into and, too, like, it is conscientious because without being, like, super hackneyed, it is, like, playing to the now in terms of, like,
Starting point is 00:07:33 you know, she's a sort of a superhero a little bit, you know, she kind of looks like Wonder Woman a little bit, and, you know, you get a movie like Black Adam or something not long ago, like, they're resurrecting essentially like a big hell demon guy, so, like, in a way, it almost feels like they have
Starting point is 00:07:48 subtly taken stuff from like, you know, the popular blockbusters of the now and added it to this slasher movie to like make it a little bit more interesting and to do a different take of instead of just the killer is supernatural and that's how they're always undead. It's more sort of like, no, no, no, like there's a rabbit hole here and there's like a mouth to hell that opens up at the end. And yeah, and yeah, there's like just enough that's all kept away from that so that when you come back into it, you're like, oh, damn. Interesting. I wonder what else is, you know, lurking in the underworld. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:22 And, yeah, I like the idea that, like, the demon is something that her father was grappling with and that, you know, helping kind of, I don't know. There's enough in there for, like, you to do a head cannon in a way that's not you just, like, making up for them not thinking about it. You know, like, there's enough for you to wonder about. Yeah. So, yeah. And with all that fantasy stuff, it would be hard to keep it. It would be easy for people to laugh at it and be like, this is ridiculous. If you didn't do it the right way, they did it the right way.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Resonant Z, hello, hello. Hope you guys enjoy the third movie and huge props to Tara from making it through them. Do you think the reputation of the movie made the movie seem worse than it really was? Also, does art being funny help you get through the movie? Have a good rest of your day.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Here's hoping you guys will watch Terror Fire 4-2. All right. I don't know. I didn't know anything about the reputation of the movie solely what I heard was Roxy telling me not to do it. I shouldn't be on this reaction and I might die.
Starting point is 00:09:17 that was all that I knew of it. But how about you guys? Yeah. I knew to a degree the reputation of these movies. It's interesting. Like, I get the sense people love two the most, and I feel like two does the best job of, partly because you're leveling up from one to two
Starting point is 00:09:38 in terms of like scale and scope and resources and storytelling and everything. So there's like a more impressive jump that you're making. But also, I think two has like a really nice blending of it's like really it really moves and like yeah it draws you in with the character stuff but you kind of move quickly from like horrific set piece gore gag to like the next
Starting point is 00:10:01 thing and there's like a snappy rhythm whereas I feel like this movie is a little more challenging in a way because it has like more air in the tone and it moves a little bit more deliberately and it's like there are times where you're sort of, especially the first half of the movie, sort of trying to figure out, okay, what is the shape of this movie really
Starting point is 00:10:22 and there will be just a number of horrific scenes playing out and I can see there being more room and opportunity for people to quit during this movie. I think art being funny does help, but again, with the pace and the tone of the second one, I think it helps like more
Starting point is 00:10:39 there, whereas in this one his humor is still funny to me, but it's also a little more sickly. and like this is this felt somehow more depraved and disgusting and like mean-spirited in the portrayal of the violence and of art than somehow the previous like the previous movie he still felt kind of like silly and whimsical yeah and uh he really feels like a hate demon yeah yeah for sure uh but definitely looking forward to four for sure uh definitely for sure uh I think this movie
Starting point is 00:11:13 I knew that they were messed up franchise, I knew that this was unrated, and I knew that people loved them, and I feel as though in some ways it lived up to and surpass my expectations in some ways in the sense that
Starting point is 00:11:30 I didn't realize the first one was going to have freaking like diarrhea in it. I feel like they cut back on some of the other bodily fluids and focused more in the gore as the movies went on. so in that way he peed on him in this one and there was a big VOM thing happening
Starting point is 00:11:47 so we just traded bodily yeah I mean there was VOM stuff in the last one too no there was like she like freaking had something come out of her you know what I'm talking about on the train yeah she like had some pieces come out of her so it's weird because each of them have
Starting point is 00:12:04 their own little gross things that they come out of I felt like and each of them had like a funny kill for me so it's tough kind of analyzing them but i think as far as gore goes they definitely got some imagination to say the least yeah but it it is still really horrible um in a fun way uh sometimes but i think overall it definitely uh it didn't seem worse i think about on par this has the right size reputation it's the right exactly it's right there in the middle but as far as art being funny
Starting point is 00:12:41 goes i thought he was less funny in this one than he wasn't the first two yeah yeah for sure just more depraved but um yeah still uh i don't know what you would call it i don't think enjoys the right word but i know i had a time i sometimes enjoyed myself and there were some crazy kills um shout out to that guy's butt cheeks that was awkward and his peener i think that's it is uh art is funny and charming but i found that this one did less charm with him. Like the first two movies have these weird moments. Like when he's
Starting point is 00:13:14 riding the tricycle in a circle in the first movie and he balks the thing and it's like it's kind of charming. Or there are like these there's still moments like when he's handing out the toys before the bomb goes off. Like there are moments in here that are still like oh here's a little comic strip with art but I don't think they did that as much here.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Yeah, he crossed the line of chopping up a kid. Like they took it further than I thought they ever would. Oh see I never didn't expect him to I was like, really, this is where you think they're going to draw the line? I'm like, I feel like their business is to find the line and then, you know, run a chainsaw up. It's butt crack. Damage for life.
Starting point is 00:13:54 T.J. Hyde and Sarah Friesson, Terry Sheeach's for the short. What concepts or expansion of any of the characters would you want to see the outcome of fourth and possibly final movie? Jonathan, justice for Jonathan. bring him back do some retroactive continuity tell me that they were lying and they just stole his glasses and he's still at school being like where are my glass yeah yes and have gabby come up with the sword somehow this is like i don't know maybe she's not dead and she has a sword the sword saves her i don't know maybe we do a spinoff movie of her fighting demons in hell finding her way back up to earth to then work with sienna to take art down love this love this I just, sorry. Oh, no, go ahead, go ahead. I just saw a movie called Death Stalker.
Starting point is 00:14:42 It's like a sword and sandals, you know, like freaking, you know, guys in monster suits and, you know, blood and guts and stuff. You know, like a Conan kind of movie. And part of me is like, if they made a Terrifier 4 where she is, like, battling hell demons and you make it almost like some kind of weird red Sonia thing, I think that would be kind of sick, actually. That would be dope. I mean, I watch it.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Hell, yeah. All right. Leon 3. This third movie connects to Terrify our movies to the rest of Damien Leon's past short horror films such as the Ninth Circle, which was the first appearance of art and had plenty of demon creatures, including Satan itself. Do you all think Terrify 4 may and should show
Starting point is 00:15:20 some of the origin story for art and the demon that possessed Bicky? Huh, that would be cool. I did not clock it when we saw the book, the Ninth Circle. I did not know that that was his. So that's a fun little piece of trivia. Thank you, Leon, for that. um i mean i would like the origin that'd be fine with me
Starting point is 00:15:40 i wouldn't be mad in origin but i think something that'd be really funny like right before he finally dies he just like finally is like oh fuck yeah i yeah it's uh it all depends on what they come up with part of it's like i'm happy to not have an art origin almost i would be like split the difference like the joker tell me tell me the Vicky Origin or something, that demon, not Vicky yourself, but like, you know, I could accept a bunch of explanation for
Starting point is 00:16:10 other things and have the joke be that you never really learn what art's deal is, but it all depends on what they come up with, really. It sounds like the Ninth Circle kind of has what I was thinking of, or do, yeah, some kind of Dante's Inferno thing. Yeah, Terrify for, honestly, I'm not sure, and I do
Starting point is 00:16:26 wonder what the thing with the little girl. I'm still kind of curious about that, and part of me was like, oh, is the little girl at the beginning going to have something to do with that in the prologue not as of this movie but part of me now because this one does seem like it's more set up for a sequel i wonder if they're like and bring it in for something because it didn't happen here and it was such a prominent thing in the second movie and unless there's an explanation for that that i have missed or something or the little girl oh from the first hallucination little girl and i was like is that just the
Starting point is 00:16:57 demon's essence as it appears in the mind's eye or something or is that a different thing or is that a once based upon a real actual girl you know uh i don't know i i'm happy to see them kind of change up the flavor in a they've done like a few different kinds of slasher movie they've done like your classic low budget thing they've done a Halloween type movie and now they've done like a you know silent night deadly night christmas thing so now part part of me is like yeah go for another flavor the next time around fourth of july okay hunter princess How do you feel this one compares to two? This is one of the rare good Christmas horror movies out there for me personally.
Starting point is 00:17:39 It doesn't hold up to the second movie. Huh. Well, I'm damaged either way. I mean, I thought that this one had more emotional depth to it. They were trying to build up the story, I believe, between her and Gabby and her family a little bit more, showing us that she is human, that there is no way to cope through what she's. been through she's like seeing things now her life is kind of ruined in a way they hit us hard with that of like what are the repercussions of what she's been through um so i like that part of the
Starting point is 00:18:15 story and i don't know what you're saying doesn't hold up in the second movie because they cut through a guy's butthole so and we saw his balls and his penis i think so i think hunter maybe is just saying that they prefer the second movie. Yeah, okay. This definitely holds a candle to the disgustingness of the second movie for sure. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't say this doesn't hold up to that.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Anyway, for me, I would say the second movie, I'm chewing on it because I think what they did here is still interesting, which is nice. I think the second movie at the outset is the most streamlined and propulsive and pacing is better. Yeah, of the three. Yeah. And I was always compelled, but this one does feel like
Starting point is 00:19:05 you're kind of watching vignettes and things happen, and then eventually the plots collide. And I get that, like, half the movie is the Sienna journey, and then the other half of the movie is art doing stuff, slowly, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:19 making his way back to where Sienna is, and then things will eventually collide. This felt like a little looser, but it is a pretty solid Christmas-themed slasher horror movie. It has a lot of, of great aesthetics and stuff like that. I think it's still strong. I think it's still interesting.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I might rank it second or, you know, I think two and then one or three kind of flip-flop in the rank for me. I'm in the same boat with you. Yeah, I think the story and structure overall of two is a lot stronger, but I like the character stuff in this one more than I do in two. Because, yeah, like, I understood what the mama's coming from, but I just found are kind of annoying. And I really appreciate the story.
Starting point is 00:19:59 story of somebody going through something as horrible as the experience of art and trying to cope with that and trying to find a sense of normal so you know they're struggling and then not knowing if what she's experiencing is real or if it's just the paranoia from her trauma and that stuff coming ahead but yeah that being coupled with arts just journey of miscellaneous murder and mayhem didn't make it feel as cohesive as the first one as the second one did so I'd probably put two three and one yeah yeah you could agree with that too has the best pacing for sure um okay should we scroll down because great yesterday was like if it doesn't if he told us not to read of all of the ones if they said if time i've been hearing about mint mobile ads
Starting point is 00:20:43 for years at a certain point i realized i was the only one in america not saving money with ryan reynolds full fomo my friends were bragging about paying only like 15 bucks a month while my old wireless company was charging me enough funds to fund my own independent movie so i finally yes to saying no no contracts no hidden fees no nonsense midmobile's entire thing is simple premium wireless starts at just $15 a month you get unlimited talk text high speed data all on the nation's largest 5g network you can keep your phone keep your number and switch instantly using e-sim not only did i switch i stayed because i was getting the same coverage i had before but now for a fraction of the price did the math can have hundreds of dollars a year back in my pocket back in your

Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Because don't you guys have to do four at 4 p.m.? I'll just go to fun service. D.K. Lounge, which holiday do you want to see Terrifier 4 take place? I'm hoping Thanksgiving since there's not enough Thanksgiving horror movies, and I can totally see art dressed as Pilgrim. Yeah. Well, I already threw out Fourth of July, but I don't know. Kwanza.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Kwanza. I think we're a little too close to Thanksgiving. I mean, part of me is like Easter would be very funny. St. Patrick's Day, there's Lepricon. I don't know. They maybe do a new year. Valentine's Day art. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Christmas is a hard one to top, you know? And, like, if we're going from Halloween to Christmas, you've set yourself up in a weird place because you've done, like, the two big skipstone holidays. Yeah. And you've gone to Christmas, so I'm like... What if it's New Year's? It could be?
Starting point is 00:23:01 It's just go in order. The thing is then there are at least... There's at least one horror movie for every holiday, so... I don't think the fourth one needs to necessarily be a holiday. What if it's like summer vacation? I think they need to go more fantasy. I think it needs to be like a road out of hell or some kind of real left turn now, because they've done three kinds of slasher movie,
Starting point is 00:23:24 and this one certainly had that sort of like Rob's... Halloween 2, like, oh, being the final girl doesn't make you a full on superhero. It's actually traumatic and you've got to unpack that and it's hard and it's messed up. So I like all the drama they've done and I feel like if they did something, yeah, I feel like part four is the time for this franchise. I would like level up in another way rather than doing kind of a, like they changed how the construction of this movie was and they took a strong holiday motif and I think they've done like three
Starting point is 00:23:57 they've extrapolated on the slasher movie three times now I think it's time to break a little further out of the slasher movie mold for part four I guess I would say and also do you I think we all think we want Jonathan to be alive Leon three we don't have tons
Starting point is 00:24:13 of times because we have a lot of questions but I did see if you're like oh is Jonathan still alive we want him to be alive I don't it could be a thing that they're prepping for Ford that if he surprises us i'd be stoked yeah just that real quick yeah i hope jonathan's not dead and i feel like them having that happen off camera and the skull thing i think yeah right potential for them to be saving stuff for part four and uh and to your thing above just a real quick uh this is to leon but uh yeah
Starting point is 00:24:42 that's sort of hibernating thing i thought was interesting and him you know yeah like sitting in weight and you know crewing cobwebs and the demon also like stuff like that i thought was really neat and interesting so like i hope that they lean more into that primordial ickiness and that sort of i don't know evil dead like quality and this idea that they're like these sinister forces of nature almost yeah and aaron did call out during the reaction about the eye so we did notice that and they did change back once the sword went in at the end yeah so we did we did notice that which i did think was pretty dope this is the one where he seems the most like unsettlingly scary and mean and sinister rather than any kind of fun or silly
Starting point is 00:25:24 or anything like that. You mean. Cody G-24. I absolutely love this movie. I remember watching it for the first time on Christmas Day last year. Wow. What was y'all's favorite scene of this movie?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Personally, it was the mall bomb scene. It caught me so off guard. I didn't get as big a lull out of that as his guns, but I do appreciate that they checked off another thing of like, oh, wow. You just brought a grenade to the mall? Okay. It's always like kind of disturbingly grounded when they do stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:52 like that in these movies so like that did strike me but it's hard to beat that shower scene yeah I love that you're asking me about a favorite scene from this movie as if I would have one yeah the bar the Santa's at the bar was kind of fun that was kind of a fun like sketch in the middle of the movie
Starting point is 00:26:08 yeah but the uh the one in the shower was damn you're like snuff film territory yes that was totally that was wild that was my favorite if I had to pick money yeah I guess I'll just go cutting the guy's ball on Pino's off and JK. Jinkies, I had the privilege of meeting
Starting point is 00:26:27 both Damien Leone and David H.T. during his screening of the film during the Q&A, Davy said that this was one of this was the only film in the entire series where he almost threw up. Yeah, thank you while filming a scene because most people hadn't seen it yet. He didn't say which scene it was, which when he, oh, when a guy goes, would cut the guy, the ball the thing, up the butt. Boom, you're thrown up. I'm thrown up. I'm thrown up. maybe also the rat in the throat
Starting point is 00:26:51 with the thing down the woman's throat thing yeah when she's like sputtering and it's coming out of the tube and like that that looked really you had to like really research something quite specific in order to get something like that I wonder if it could be that
Starting point is 00:27:07 I'm trying to think like the the stuff in the shower is just so much and it's so over the top but part of me is like I could see I don't know like some of that stuff you don't have to have him on that for us. Yeah, yeah. It's a tough one.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Oh, those ups and stuff. Yeah. Might be all of them. It might, I guess my guess would be the tube and the, yeah. Okay. I think my favorite kills would either be, you know, butt crack or he's like ripping the head
Starting point is 00:27:35 just like the face of his head. Oh, yeah. Rips the whole skin off that dude. That was a wild. After box cutting him. Ugh. Okay, Mikkel Morgan. Now that y'all have seen three movies out of three, which scene has the best kill for me
Starting point is 00:27:49 It's still the bedroom scene in part two. You know what? I'm kind of with you with that on Morgan. I'll just say your last name. I'm a little bit with you on that one. Except butthole. I don't know if I can get it out of my mind. That scene was hard to beat in its gruesomeness and composition, as I recall it.
Starting point is 00:28:10 This scene in the bathroom is equally memorable in terms of carnage. And it takes something that you saw the very first time around. and kind of slightly recontextualizes it with greater effects more relishing the carnage in camera so that's definitely like a centerpiece scene of the movie but I don't know
Starting point is 00:28:33 if it's quite as like well tied into the rest of the movie as the bedroom scene in part two like I like that you have the podcast didn't watch Halloween 2018 podcasters never farewell like that was cool but it is one of those things where it's like oh these two are clearly here because we want
Starting point is 00:28:49 them to die and they're going to die you know and so yeah i think by a hair it's that bedroom scene but yeah but yeah what do you think did you already say the bedroom scene that you the gun in the first movie still makes me laugh that was so funny yeah it's the bedroom scene or the shower scene uh yeah okay i love it um tj what's your opinion dami leone's directing style and if you think he should tackle another genre or create new stories in the horror realm thank you thank you tj yeah i would love to see him if he directs anything else out if it's new in the horror realm that would be dope especially if it's like i his practical effects are like what makes this for me i do have a great appreciation for all of these films because of that and especially because
Starting point is 00:29:36 the first one he like worked doubled over triple time to come up with all of these effects to show us and we don't get to see that much anymore so of course i would love to see more from him. Yeah, it seems like he has an affinity for fantasy just going off of this most recent movie and a little bit of the last one. So I'd like to see him tackle some fantasy and put his practical skills to use in that sort of setting. And you can even do like some practical gore. Maybe, I don't know the line there, you can make it right at R, but I imagine because it's not real people, if he's cutting up, you know, little creatures and stuff or different sort of creatures with like purple blood, zombie. That's almost going to be fun as well.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure we can get some fun side fantasy action from that. Could be cool. I'm curious what he would do with like a twisted horror comedy that's more of an overtly horror comedy, not just a horror movie that has laughs in it. Or like we said before, something that's like sword and sandily akin to like a death stalker or something like that. But yeah, I think his directing style is quite nice. I mean, like these movies have grown in terms of like the first movie was a nice display of like, okay, you can. take limited means and work within them to create something that clearly caught on. And then the other ones level up in their visual language and his attention to performance and stuff like that. So, like, I think he does have a nice eye for things and some, you know, nice visual language without being too hammy about it. So, yeah, I like his directing style generally, at least as these are evidence of.
Starting point is 00:31:09 And, yeah, I'd be interested in some kind of icky sword and sandals or a horror comedy or something like that. sure Alan Smithy are you guys all right just checking in on you do you need hug yeah yeah we all do I'll take a hug but I'm good they're all good groovy hugs to you Jay Rushden question will you play the new Arcade Terrier game
Starting point is 00:31:29 the game is sideways scroller beat up not sure about that was sentence Jay but it comes out okay it comes out October 17th that's cool they might yeah get me in the arcade for Artcade get them there Reject gaming.
Starting point is 00:31:46 All right. Callowen, this will be my first watch-along. Oh, that's awesome. I joined the She-Jex, so I'm excited. Love that. I feel like Art the Clown is sort of spiritual successor to Freddie Kruger. Yeah, in both humor and style of kills. Which do you think wins at the comedy club?
Starting point is 00:32:02 Oh, God. Probably art. Like, Freddy is just, I think art. I think because of his miming and his, like, I think art. That's a random ass and great act. question, Callowen. Excellent question. I honestly don't know. I think it's neck and neck.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Yeah, it might be. I think they have equal opportunity to slay and bomb. It's the thing. Like, Freddie, definitely as those movies go on, his jokes and punnier, become hamier and punnier. And art, I mean, big respect for the wordless art of clowning
Starting point is 00:32:37 and miming. But I could imagine that either, yeah, going over really well or not at all going over well, And I think either way, the audience is not going to make it out of that theater. Yeah, I agree. I haven't seen The Nightmare now. That's right.
Starting point is 00:32:53 So I can talk to it. I'm biased. He's going to go with art. Okay, Liam, 03, you're saying, you're asking if we will watch All Hells Eve. It's a horror anthology movie that compiles many of Damien Leone's short films and features Art the Clown. I'm sure that we would love to. Not sure if it's on the schedule, but we'll keep it in mind, Leon. I'm sure it's already on their mind to schedule that.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Let's go to D.K. Lounge. Fun fact, this movie is currently the highest grossing, unrated film of all time. Previously, it was the Beyonce documentary at $44 million until Tower Fire 3 premiered number one opening weekend, first making $18.9 million, and we go on to make $90.3 million overall on a $2 million budget. That's how you do it. Also, because I've seen a lot of reactors get confused as to why CNN's hands regenerate from the cuts from her sword. In the flashback, I called this. Her dad says the story was made for her I can't kill her Which is also why she came back to life After being stabbed by it in the previous movie I'm with you
Starting point is 00:33:50 That's what I was like can't hurt Can't hurt It's tight internal logic Yes You earn your supernatural mumba jumba Love that DK Lounge Thanks for that I had no idea Highest grossing unrighted film of all time
