Starting point is 00:00:00 It is the cold habitual And it is the cold of the cold at his summit Cozlight

Starting point is 00:00:08 T'envee a fruade celebrate to be able to have the age legal for consuming

Starting point is 00:00:12 the alcohol Thank you to Huell for sponsoring this video more on them and just a bit Oh,

Starting point is 00:00:18 maybe this a DPC movie Let's go We should create a playlist Listen, if you don't know Are already dead

Starting point is 00:00:29 Parents Club, y'all, you out there, and you've been supportive of me and Greg, so we appreciate you. Let's watch The Autopsy of Jane Doe and see if we're right. That is about a Jane Doe. Man. Wow. Man. The way you felt about Talk to Me is how I feel right now. I feel you. I feel you. I feel you. I feel you. That movie was gross. That was so good, but, man, I don't, I cannot watch. I don't think I don't want to watch that again.

Starting point is 00:00:59 That was too much. What is 5.1 out of 10? No, 5.1 is Dolby surrounds the surround sound. Oh. I was like, no way. That movie was bomb. Okay. So I guess talk to me, Greg.

Starting point is 00:01:19 Okay. How are you feeling? I feel like a little nauseous. Yeah. I actually feel. I'm like holding myself. I actually felt. nauseous. Like, this is really gross. We are really with the autopsy. I thought it was super

Starting point is 00:01:36 clever. I did. I thought it was extremely clever. And I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the ending of what happens with the sun. But the journey to it, I was legit, like, terrified. There was like a 10 minute chunk where I was like, this is really freaking scary. I think maybe the point is like you know brian cox is like please spare him don't hurt him and she's like fuck all of you yeah you can't bargain yeah she didn't agree to that she was like i don't need to yeah why would she show sympathy and they're still and because she's still alive they're still hurting her right yeah yeah yeah yeah well i think as just like a because it's two halves right like the first half is the

Starting point is 00:02:29 when I didn't even know if it was supernatural or not that half yeah I thought that was clever I'm like well I could watch a whole movie of them trying to like unpack what happened here mystery by

Starting point is 00:02:39 it felt like her body yeah it was really clever and you're like this doesn't make any sense but but the last half isn't jarring because it seems so out of this world

Starting point is 00:02:51 that all these things are happening within her body but there's no external signs of how any of these injuries or damages came to be. So I thought it was very engrossing. And then when the supernatural like, that's just like smash the license shake

Starting point is 00:03:10 happens. I was terrifying. I was actually like really good. Like the buildup to the ghostly stuff was really scary. Smart too is what they must have done with their budget. Right. There was like five actors in this entire movie and there's pretty much one location um with several like many locations of course but they needed the money for the body yeah and for the actors oh there's so much went into the makeup yeah that was very important and i think if you're going to do your you know morgue movie you want and you want the body whore

Starting point is 00:03:46 that's very integral and i also sell you on the realism the makeup on that was phenomenal yeah really good really good that was and if it wasn't as good we wouldn't be as grossed and freaked out because when like it was also the sound design like the squishiness of stuff the crunch the way it looked and sounded at the same time

Starting point is 00:04:09 what do you think because I feel like this movie it wasn't just about nudity and violence and like just grotesque imagery and stuff they clearly from the top there was this father son relationship there's the the mom who we find out who committed suicide,

Starting point is 00:04:28 there's a lot more going on and we hear the dad, Brian Cox's character, immediately start giving these like life advice things, you know, look before you leap and like continuing to, oh, that's funny because he leaps off the, I guess he falls off that.

Starting point is 00:04:44 But there's all of that. Like, what do you feel like this movie was trying to tell us? I don't know. You know, what i mean like it feels like there's like a greater message here and it's kind of like something about which like you know that to me i was thinking about one of the parts where maybe if i ever have a second viewing or maybe i'll watch like a breakdown of this movie that'll that'll that'll you know someone else who did the the analytical time to write a video essay on a couple of watches

Starting point is 00:05:16 can break it down for me and be like oh okay i get it because i think like the ghost stuff and the mystery and just the immediate effect of the experience is what I really love and the acting. I think the emotional through line is a little weak. If that's, I don't know, weak, I think that was the least strong of the film. What do you mean? Of the story of the father and son and the grief tale that I think they were ultimately telling. Yeah, yeah, because it was clear that they wanted that implemented in here. and it feels like there was a longer version that might have been left on the cutting floor because we hear the girl even be like you haven't told them we're leaving yet and it's like that guilt of leaving when the mom left you know like the whole thing i feel i'm with you that maybe we could have dived even deeper into that or have a bit of a more solid button like the i guess that you still get it because the part of emil hirsch is saying tell me about you know talk to me talk to me talk to me and he eventually starts lamenting a lot of the pain and when they're

Starting point is 00:06:20 wrapped in the elevator so they do have that conversation ultimately um so i guess we don't really need but then he died but then they both die so it's like what's the point yeah it's kind of feel like there's a bit of a butt of missing but if you think about it if emil herch didn't die he would just go to jail forever like there's no way that they wouldn't pin this entire thing on him i wonder if they what part of the video recording stayed good i can't imagine imagine any of it because it looked like it was a I think it's all burnt that's what I mean that's what you need backup recordings

Starting point is 00:06:56 they need an OBS system I still want to do a sequel yeah what is how else is he in I got to look this up because he's like a big big star he looked familiar to me but I and I've heard his name but that's crazy because the way you said it was like I definitely should know who he is if I'm not mistaken

Starting point is 00:07:14 I don't know the specifics he was really rising he was like the star of speed racer He was really star, he was the movie Alpha Dog, I think. It's all things I haven't seen. So he was in Prey, which I didn't see. He was Inside Man, which I didn't see. Okay.

Starting point is 00:07:32 See that Justin Timberlake movie, Alpha, something? I think it's called Alpha Dog. I don't know the one you're talking about. Like Justin Simerlake's first movie. He was the main guy. I did see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but I don't remember him in that. It was Marco Robbie's best friend. I forget who that real life counterpart is.

Starting point is 00:07:46 Okay. Yeah, I just don't. I guess I just missed a lot of his stuff. He was really rising and then something happened to get him canceled. And I don't remember what. Oh, he got canceled. I believe he did. I don't know exactly what.

Starting point is 00:08:02 Does this take my word for it? Everyone look it up. Something happened in his career so he stopped booking these big roles. Huh. But he liked Sean Penn's movie that Chompin directed into the wild. I didn't see that either. Is it good? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:08:13 Yeah. And he's really good in it too. I think he's a good actor, obviously. He's a good actor. But, yeah, his career is. I'm not going to dip. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault after being accused of putting a female studio exec in a chill cold out of Utah nightclub during Sundance. Jesus.

Starting point is 00:08:32 That's bad. He served 15 days in jail. Oh, that's it. All right. Well, that would make sense. Oh, I kind of recognize in these pictures. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow, okay, definitely recognize him here.

Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah. Wow, that's so interesting. He looks so different without the facial. hair. Brian Cox, obviously, I love. And who is this actress? Because there was something kind of like haunting about her. See, I didn't, I kind of don't like the, I think this movie is really great and surprised me from beginning to end. I wasn't a fan of the killing off cliche of the girlfriend. No, I'm not talking about her. What actress? Jane Doe. Oh, yeah. Because when we see her face like that's gonna be a real person right yeah imagine they at least like did like a haunting

Starting point is 00:09:24 look to her i feel like i think i've seen her some like other horror movies i don't even see her listed on i mdb jane do okay olwin katherine kelly who i don't know she doesn't even have a picture on here oh my god she's like a jane do actress kind of wow i don't know i can't imagine this led to like her getting a lot of work i mean she she she is the cover of a big movie I know, I know, I know, but it's just, like, she had like a haunting face, kind of. That was, that's interesting. I wonder how they found her. The girlfriend, Ophelia Loveabond, she was, oh, she's in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Starting point is 00:10:03 She's in no strings attached, all of her twist. She works. Minks, that's what I know her from. Minks. Oh, my God, she's the main girl in Minks. Oh, so she's like an actual. I loved that show. I kept thinking I knew who she was.

Starting point is 00:10:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. minks she was excellent in i really like that show um okay so good act really strong performances that helped there was a couple times where i thought some of the dialogue was a little shoddy and the actors really had to sell it and i thought that was impressive what they were able to do in certain moments yeah sometimes they're they're writing a line that's what i mean i think the experience of the like the mystery and the ghost stuff was really fun yes and then other times it can be like are you trying to be a little bit more like fun

Starting point is 00:10:48 movie now because that's not the vibe I'm getting from you at all movie yeah yeah totally like you guys are having fun with it like I'm spooked I couldn't even look at the screen for half of it yeah it was a really uncomfortable experience and they also wrote the nun two

Starting point is 00:11:04 oh I heard that one's better than the nun one did you see Eli I don't know what that is okay Eli was that movie that I've heard of with the girl from Yellowstone Kelly Riley and they also wrote yeah

Starting point is 00:11:20 Fear the Walking Dead Oh sweet He kind of got a walker death at the end I did Yeah kind of I did like I did like I think like having Brian Cox And they're attracted into a strip like this

Starting point is 00:11:32 Like this is essentially a play And I thought it was a really well constructed Why do you feel like it was a play This is just mainly in this one location The entire time and it's really hinges On the performance of these two actors Playing in going back and forth Oh like fences

Starting point is 00:11:47 Yes another movie like a play yeah just like fences yeah this is movies like fences and closer and the though and them going back and forth i thought was great and and i so i could see why these two actors would be drawn to it because it is about them feeding off of each other and i and they have to sell like their fear of the situation is really dependent on us being us buying into the the heights this movie decides to go to which i thought that was great Something like Brian Cox is it was consistently great. It's kind of like an overused phrase.

Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah, he's so, so, so talented. Okay, a couple of things. I'm just looking at some of those IMDB trivia on this. That's kind of interesting about the body. Although there are some prosthetics used, the role of the naked corpse for the most part was played by actress, Owen, Catherine Kelly. Andre, the director,

Starting point is 00:12:38 felt that it was necessary to have a live actress for the part to help connect the audience on a human level. On some level, the decision was also a practical one, as And Andre believes that doing some of the close-up scenes with a prosthetic would have been impossible. And then also he said that Owen, Catherine Kelly had the most difficult role in the film. And he credited her with making everyone else comfortable on the set. Kind of interesting. She made me unbelievably uncomfortable.

Starting point is 00:13:04 Making them comfortable on set when in prolet, I imagine everyone, I feel like you'd have to make her feel more assured that she's comfortable. Yeah. She's the one in the most vulnerable position. Hard time. Reject Nation, I currently am on a very specific macro plan. Calories, fat, carbs, protein, you know the goods. And what's very fortunate for me, some of the brands that we have partnered with recently are products that I've already been using.

Starting point is 00:13:33 So throughout this journey, I want to keep you guys updated on my health and fitness goals. January 25th, that was 218 pounds. At the time of filming this one, just under 198. A little lighter than the last time I mentioned today's sponsor, Huell, baby. That's right. I already had already tore it open because I just had a wine earlier today. This is my own order. This is that I paid with my own money because I love the product. It's one of my go-to drinks on this journey. And Huell's black condition, ready to drink is a complete meal in a bottle. It's packed with 35 grams of protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals. So you're not just filling up.

Starting point is 00:14:11 You're fueling up, as we like to say. Here's why I keep coming back to it. It's freaking efficient. It's ready. Just grab it, drink it. Dunzo. It actually tastes great. That's so important. A lot of protein shakes look good, but taste bad.

Starting point is 00:14:23 This one, smooth, delicious, and no chalky aftertaste. Got low sugar, high protein, good macros. Fits into my plan without ruining any of my progress. The other thing, too, is I got more flavors than chocolate, vanilla, ice coffee, strawberry banana, which is what my wife, Olivia, loves to drink. Or if you can't decide, you just grab a variety box. That's an option, too. It's affordable.

Starting point is 00:14:44 Each bottle is under five. bucks. Make it an easy choice for anyone looking for a quick, nutritious meal. If you want to give it a go like myself, here's the deal. You go to huel.com, use my code rejects, and get 15% off your first order, plus a free gift. That's huel.com code rejects.

Starting point is 00:15:00 Fuel your body right, even on the go. Hopefully, you love it just as much as I do. Yeah, okay, one of the reasons that she was selected for the role was because of her knowledge of yoga, which helped her control her body and breathing. Oh, fascinating. How interesting is that? I suppose it

Starting point is 00:15:15 is an underrated. I suppose it's a very easy thing to overlook of the challenge of that because you also got to find like the right emotion and we're looking for that one stagnant thing to where you can admit the fear and like the history of the pain this person went through and the sat like you got to find the right look and she freak us out and you got to be still when her mouth is open closed like just yeah and then the the focus on the and you kind of have your chest going up and down you can't be breathing imagine laying there too yeah just like

Starting point is 00:15:49 I suppose it is a very physically demanding it's a surprisingly physically demanding one that I suppose actually really eased over a look yeah that's cool I'm glad you looked that up gotta give her credit where credit is due but yeah I didn't like the girlfriend dying I thought that was a too like it was too much of a cliche move and I thought it didn't do anything for the movie

Starting point is 00:16:08 well I actually thought that part was just the only part that was kind of confusing like where did she how did she get in when they couldn't get out and the ghost must let her in and then additionally when we see the guy coming towards us why then is she step like where'd he go yeah um i'll give them the benefit it's fine but that was the part that i was just like hmm yeah i feel like you know like in the beats of a film they usually have their all his lost moment and they they needed a given all his lost moment so i thought that that was kind of like a fridging moment just to like All his last moment is the dad dying, the cat dying.

Starting point is 00:16:46 The girlfriend seemed just so kind of... That's the finale. Cat? No, no, no, the dad dying. Is this the oldest lost moment? I feel like the finale. I don't think so. If the protagonist of this movie is the sun, the darkest night of the soul would be the dad dying.

Starting point is 00:17:02 Well, no, I mean, look at it. It wasn't. That wasn't the structure of this movie. Yeah, I think in this, it was girl dies and then the dark night of the soul is them having the conversation in the elevator the grief and then they go into the finale where they confront the body and then figure out like we need to go because nobody makes it out alive that is the truth but like what i think maybe would have made for a stronger choice is something at the end which would have made yeah the the girlfriend character just kind of felt unnecessary to me because she was so weird to me

Starting point is 00:17:34 that i wasn't like rooting for them to be together so when she died i was like I kind of forgot all about her and and uh it didn't there's it did feel a little bit like it didn't amount to anything and uh and it didn't know nor does it feel like it sets it up for anything misleading you know like I didn't really understand if there was like a bait and switch or something the one thing I do think is interesting though is that the witch didn't kill the girlfriend which like she's clearly going after the men yeah I mean obviously but damn I I like the butt in two to reveal it. Because they don't explicitly say this is how there's some good visual language here. They don't explicitly say that this is how she probably killed the people at the big. Yeah. But they captured the same to show you like, oh, she did it. Because I was thinking that too, like even though people at the top, it's like they were men and women, but probably what happened here is what happened there where some of the deaths were accidents and some of them were by the witch and some of the, you know, like all kind of mixed in.

Starting point is 00:18:35 It was really good. The thing that I'll give them the most is watching this was like an incredibly visceral, horrific experience like talk to me was, where it's kind of like you, I never want to watch this again. That was horrific, but they did an excellent job making me feel that way, and that's what they were going for. Yeah, and I appreciate how it's really easy to elicit a response in an ongoing long autopsy scene. and you know you could just chalk it up to like it's not scary it's just an autopsy so it's like easy gore or something like that if you wanted to be like a cynical perspective but they don't rely on that the part that makes it really intriguing is like what the hell's going on inside this body like this is so weird it's not just an autopsy it's the entire mystery surrounding it and slowly unpacking the myth the mythical side of what's happening in her without but they allow you to transition into it without it being like a a jarring switch up uh and i thought it might lose me when it switched up you know when it just goes cut to black let's go like full on now you're trapped in here at one point you said out loud like this movie is so beautiful looking it is i think it's i think it's like the art design

Starting point is 00:19:50 the glues and greens and the red yeah yeah color pops in this film really did i would be interested to see what this andre what he works on in the future because i i think that he did the direction and the D.P. We're both really, really solid. I don't know anything about it. I mean, it's been recommended our way. Who, wait, how old is this movie? 2016, I think it said.

Starting point is 00:20:12 Okay. Damn. It was 20. Who recommended it? The people. The people. Yeah, it's 2016. And this guy, Andre, the director, he's done things that I don't know.

Starting point is 00:20:24 The last voyage of the Demeter. Oh, that just came out. What is that? It's the Dracula on the boat movie. Oh. Okay. Well, he did that. He did Mortal in 2020.

Starting point is 00:20:34 No idea what that is. No, me neither. And it's with people, I don't know. Scary stories to tell in the dark. Oh, you hate that movie? What is that? Oh, gee, I'm a little tour produced. That's a good one.

Starting point is 00:20:44 Okay, well, he did that one. Oh, with Austin Abrams. You haven't seen that? No. Oh, my God, I should have you and someone do that one. Troll Hunter? I heard that's a good one. I haven't seen it.

Starting point is 00:20:54 I don't know what that one is. I've never heard of any of these. Okay, and his first one, his first movie ever was in 2000 called Future. murder. That sounds funny. And I don't know that one either. And he writes a lot of them too, but he didn't write this one. And he's produced, wow, he produced a movie called Uma with Sandra O and Darmat Moroni.

Starting point is 00:21:19 Okay, now we know what he's worked on. Well, just curious, because, like, I thought that he did a really strong job with this, actually. Yeah, I thought for the most part was pace well. and I appreciate that it didn't go full 824, that it had the sense to have a little bit of fun. It wasn't 824, right? No, it was IFC, so that's why it's still bleak as hell, you know? Totally.

Starting point is 00:21:43 These independent films are so bleak. Yeah, so I appreciated that they were willing to, I think that was kind of, if this was 824, it would have been nothing but misery. But I think because it was an 824, they managed to have a little bit of fun. So trying to go through in my mind, Like the tooth, the flower, like the even the things written on the inside of her body, I still have some questions.

Starting point is 00:22:07 I understand she's witch you tortured her, but like, how did you guys? Yeah, how did you guys still pull this off? And I get that she like reformed by when she killed people, she was able to like re-solidify because this actually made her become a witch when she wasn't one. But I still have some questions. Yeah, I'd be curious to maybe I'll just watch someone's great video about. like how we did orphan and then first kill goes back i kind of want to see herge suffer get killed well yeah like what happened yeah yeah and i love i went to salem as a kid and i just went this past year i'm a big uh well big witch trials girl i i think it's so

Starting point is 00:22:47 fascinating what happened the time period so devastating it's disgusting what happened not just with the women but the men as well who were accused of being witches and helping witches um and they did truly effing torture them. Yeah. And it is wild to learn about. So I think I would love to see kind of like a prequel to this. Like what went down. It's like a really uncomfortable prequel.

Starting point is 00:23:08 Yeah. Just watch this woman suffer. It's become this corpse. No, not because I want like suffering, but just like how. I want answers. Like what was the flower for? They made her swallow her on tooth. They cut out her tongue like and then she survived.

Starting point is 00:23:25 Like what was the spell? yeah just i have questions anyway that's before i get myself in trouble my thoughts on the movie anything else greg before we get sat to here great music that's all so yeah the music was bomb suspense building for sure i give it uh uh uh an eight out of ten okay i think that's solid i'd say like 7.5 maybe 8 i'm with you uh yeah i'll go to i mean the in the fact that i just I don't know if I fully enjoyed it.

Starting point is 00:24:02 That was what he was talking to me where I was just like, I hated this experience. So I did boost. I was going to say 7.5, but I boosted it because I'm like, I'd logically know that this is better than a 7.5. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give it a higher. That's true. That's true.

Starting point is 00:24:15 This was really well done. But the way this movie made me feel like, oh my God, I don't know if I could do that. Part of ratings for me are rewatchability, like how rewatchable is the movie. Yeah, I got you. This is not. And I know some people can easily re-watch this. Serial killers? Uh-huh.

Starting point is 00:24:31 I'm making fun of the people who could re-watch this, and yet I just said, I want a prequel where we see all the things go down. Sick and twisted. Okay, thanks, rejects. We'll see you next time. Okay, later.
