The Reel Rejects - THE LONG WALK (2025) IS F***ING HEARTBREAKING!! MOVIE REVIEW

Starting point is 00:00:00 Apparently it's a good movie. Time to ruin it for everybody. Let's go. Well, boys, we don't watch the long walk. That's right. We kept pace. Yeah, buddy. Every mile of the long road.

Starting point is 00:00:25 Well, man, I want to thank Prepper for editing down these. hard lock they really sacked up when they sat down at their ending machines did a good job boys gonna walk it off showed a whole lot of sack oh yeah they didn't well thanks very much for being here everybody throw your sack on that like button and the subscribe button and the notification bell and put five sacks on the rating scale for any podcast listeners to the audio version of this. People were mean how many people showing up in our live stream. Yeah. I'm watching

Starting point is 00:01:05 this. A while since I watched the movie that kind of just messed me up so much. Yeah. Oh, wow. Oh, boy. Yeah, this was quite a piece. It was a really good one. All right. Well, we do not have cues from the patrons. My fault, it's a last minute shoot, so

Starting point is 00:01:21 didn't have time to put something out there. Sorry, Royals. Normally, our Royal Rejects get an opportunity to participate in our reviews by asking it specifically. questions so we'll just have to guide this thing our selves erin i'll go to you first my man what were your expectations going in and how did this movie deliver on the expectations would you say i think my expectations going in were more so that this was going to be um a movie that had like some semblance of it being a thriller but from the trailer it

Starting point is 00:02:00 looked like it was fairly straightforward, but I definitely was surprised by how much heart this movie had. And even though you know that the movie's going to be down to essentially one guy at the end, how much nuance there was amongst that premise and, you know, the different things you learn over the course of the story about each guy and then the perseverance of the human spirit. And we learn about the process of grief over the course of the film was was really powerful and how us, you know, having a shared experience only strengthens the bond through hard times and learning about, you know, why we do what we do and what motivates us and how our past informs us both for the better or for the worst. And I feel like there

Starting point is 00:02:53 is a lot to take away from this movie. Definitely some stuff I'm going to be chewing on. long past this recording but yeah i think this is a really powerful film overall awesome glad to hear john same question to you my friend expectations and what did it ultimately deliver yeah this uh it's weird it's you know i in some senses this is the movie i expected it to be but you know it's the nuances it's the flourishes it's the specific details and everything that make it sing you know i expected a very linear sort of rumination on the circumstances let us hear and the human spirit under intensely harsh conditions and that's a lot of what we are doing but yeah it's just the strength of the ensemble the strength of the direction and the pacing and i don't know the original

Starting point is 00:03:44 source material but this at least as a screenplay really saying in a lot of ways and uh and yeah I think there are oh just yeah this definitely like kept on mounting in terms of like emotional tonality because at first you're like okay we're in for a sci-fi vaguely sci-fi

Starting point is 00:04:05 dystopian you know message piece of some kind and and yeah past a certain point it started to get really emotional beyond just the sort of like okay I know we're going to confront death like I think the movie does a lot to like yeah

Starting point is 00:04:19 walk you up to the lines you are expecting because you know again it's a pretty linear experience but then pushing you past that point of emotionality and really feeling the depths of heartbreak uh was something that i wasn't not expecting but was very potent and very striking so yeah this was great how did you feel how are you feeling now what did you expect i feel amazing you feel so much catharsis boy yeah i feel it feels good to watch a really good movie that's that's one and it's is something that had an interesting nuance about everyone's on their deathbed in this film. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:58 They often talk, you know, you hear people speak about when someone's on their deathbed, they're sort of evaluating what really matters to them in life and the things they wasted during that time. And oftentimes you see these characters boiling it down to their relationships in life. and that's what that's what sung to them the most it was rather it's weird it's like it's such a messed up movie and it's also incredibly bleak same time there there is a sense of appreciation for the now that i think it gives of instilling in us to appreciate what we have right now as we are alive you know and it for being a you guys were like talking about it during it how this long walk is essentially just a metaphor for life in a lot of ways and while everyone's going through their journeys and some themes are a little bit more specific whether they're talking about you know um entertainment through suffering entertainment through violence desensitized america the pitch of freedom actually being in a systematic oppressive world there's there's these themes that are like a larger surrounding of the world

Starting point is 00:06:17 But they do a really great job on just focusing on what these characters are going through and the themes kind of come out through that versus the inverse. I feel like some other movies might have gotten a little bog down with commentary, commentary, and let's put some characters in here. And there was a really cool way they worked inward that went out. So that's what made it such like an emotional experience. and I love the execution of it because I didn't know what really to expect

Starting point is 00:06:50 I remember really liking the trailer but I thought it might have been more like kind of what you were saying Aaron a little more like thrillery a little bit more like body count heavy and gory and you know horror esk more and more screwed up as we go

Starting point is 00:07:07 it's more the you know green mile shawshank side of Stephen King than it is the you know welcome to dairy or something I don't know

Starting point is 00:07:19 the penny wise instead of the more supernatural or the more over the top high concept king it's the yeah like human spirit

Starting point is 00:07:26 ruminations on life and spirituality and things like that yeah it's like a kind of a more toward that side of the spectrum

Starting point is 00:07:34 but like with a little bit of that sci-fi stuff thrown in for you know good measure well not sci-fi but it feels

Starting point is 00:07:40 dystopian you can't quite tell it irregular in it feels like all 40s it does all 50s based off of the clothing the cars the newspaper the guy was carrying around he was I think yeah I couldn't tell who was on the cover but it looked like it could have been oh my god fucking breakfast at Tiffany's for Audrey Hepburn I could have been Audrey Hepburn on the cover of a newspaper so at least that was what I was pick it up on or just could have been modern day it just some parts of the world that just look like the

Starting point is 00:08:12 from an older time period. Either way, the relevancy of this experience doesn't seem to be bogged down by time period. They make it feel kind of timeless in this execution. Is there a character you connected to you the most, Aaron? Oh, I probably say Peter. You know, I really liked his optimism and his love for Ray over the course of the story.

Starting point is 00:08:40 and even in the face of all of his troubles he found a way to find a sense of purpose and fight for the people that were in his shoes or in his sort of situation that he wanted to enhance the lives of and I feel like on that level I really resonated with with his character you know that's why I write poetry for myself but also for so people who feel like lost or invisible or who don't have a voice to those words can see themselves in that and i feel like a semblance of connection to to him and that front yeah he's also just a great actor but from a from a spiritual connective point that is why i liked him the most john he's definitely the character that you most want to be i feel like i mean they're all i feel like you know it's one of those things where a lot of them are can are containing parts of us i mean you know Hank is Certainly a character that felt very familiar, felt very close to home, sort of just like the, yeah, the sort of like, you know, fun, cut up guy who's trying to keep the morale up. I mean, I think a lot of us could kind of port ourselves over onto Ray, because I think if anybody signs up for this, you might have some kind of idea of a stand you might take in the way that that's going to be sort of tested and altered and shifted as you undergo the psychological maelstrom of this experience. You know, like I thought Ray was a really relatable character because, I mean, granted, he's the audience Cypher in a lot of ways, but yeah, somebody who has a reason to do this, but who is sort of actively grappling with a grief that has led them here. I thought was very interesting.

Starting point is 00:10:25 Yeah, it felt like a guardian angel, Peter. Yeah, Peter definitely did. I feel like Ray is like, like, Peter's the aspirational character to me. I'm like, I don't know if I would relate to him so much as I wish I could be like this guy. Whereas, yeah, like, a Ray feels. more like he's the kind of every man of the group while also being like a lead character well you know like structurally I expected this movie the only thing I got right was when he called him son

Starting point is 00:10:52 yeah out of that I got like this is where a lot of how I can't predict you how this would go is not what I would end up happening and like I thought right at the bat that Ray would get killed like really early on it was crazy it is cool to see a movie that

Starting point is 00:11:10 defies what most films would do. An average film would probably go down the path of when they're closer to the finale, everyone's kind of turning like they're seasick in a way. You know, they're all turning on each other, maybe hallucinating. And it's all like one man for themselves where like cannibals having to survive out here. Or the closer they get to the end, like the world around them, start standing up for them because they like them so much. Like, no, we must stop the long walk.

Starting point is 00:11:37 Something like that, yeah. There's another Stephen King movie. we out right now that is kind of doing some of that. Oh, no. But this, Richard Bachman, okay. But I love how,

Starting point is 00:11:50 you know, with the store, when you get to raise Ark at the end and how he was saying, like, the only guarantee we have in life is death. It's literally the one thing in life. We can never escape. We will all eventually die. And it's easy to look at this micro experience on

Starting point is 00:12:05 earth, this one little moment in time. If you're on this walk, just look out for yourself screw everyone else there can only be one person standing but when you look at life it's like well we're all actually on a long walk in life we're all going to die at some point so we might as well be nice

Starting point is 00:12:19 to each other along the way and I think that's part of like what the beautiful messages of this movie it's one of those things who are like I feel inspired right now and how long will I remember this for the heat of a stressful moment so I love that like well Ray's art goes through it's weird

Starting point is 00:12:35 how he at the very when he's confronting his mom and he's like I made a mistake. I'm effed up. I'm like, I did what my dad did. And then he actually goes on an arc that is more like what his dad is,

Starting point is 00:12:47 where he sacrifices himself for something he believes in. And for people he loves. For someone he loves, yeah, for someone he loves. And it is more along the belief system that his dad wanted him to uphold and not really an act of revenge,

Starting point is 00:13:03 whereas Peter was the guy who was always looking for the light. And it's a bit of a conflicting ending for me, that's the last couple moments like I like the tragedy of it and I like the I like bleakness

Starting point is 00:13:18 sometimes and then sometimes I feel like this movie never walked into bleak and violent for bleak and violence sake which I thought was a really cool restraint for a movie that had some like violent moments and some gross moments it would never felt

Starting point is 00:13:33 exploitative in the way they handled it or it was just trying to get a reaction it seemed to seem to elicit the kind of reaction you'd want in the moment of these characters and as an audience member and at the very end you know this Peter's always talking about seeing the light

Starting point is 00:13:48 and at the end he's walking into darkness after he kills someone and he's kind of walking away free and I don't know if it was supposed to be like a thematic thing of like did he actually die and now he's walking into hell or something like that you know there was a lot of talk about religion and

Starting point is 00:14:05 faith and I like how through conversation you see see how there's certain characters and there's certain ways of how they want you to believe that feel like, you know, some people, when they want to break down the zealot side of Christianity and then the zealot side of being an American, how those two kind of go hand in hand, you know. It's like the Pledge of Allegiance. It feels like a real kind of prayer act to God, to one nation under God, you know. There is a religion that, yeah, intermingles of patriot.

Starting point is 00:14:39 definitely good way to put it and so that that's the one part of the ending where I'm a little bit I don't know how I feel we just watch it like 10 minutes ago so I don't I don't know how I feel if I really like that final choice I appreciate like the dissent but part of me is like I'm just kind of wish you know I actually had a little bit of a good win here and it's got to be this got to be the example of light at the end of it all you know I'm fascinated at the point that like you this this world can uh shatter the light within us guys We're not just going to the movies. Oh my God, can someone pick that up?

Starting point is 00:15:11 We're going into the movies. Right now, I am here at Cinemark. Would someone please pick up the phone? Right now, I am here at Cinemar to experience D Box. Look at how, cameraman, that's fine. It's just chaos around here. It's immersive.

Starting point is 00:15:23 If you guys want to feel the story, truly be immersed into it, like if you're watching Wicked 2 and you want to feel Elfa Buff flying, if you want to feel like you're actually going to the zoo and Zootopia, if you want to feel the flight, the battles, and Pandora, If you want to feel the ocean swirls and Spongewiles wild underwater energy. D-Box is the way to do it.

Starting point is 00:15:44 What D-Box is, they are motion-enabled seats synchronize with the film. That way you're feeling every action, every twist, every single turn. You could have vibrations. There's intensity levels. You get four levels of intensity. This way you can control whether you want a little bit subtle, a little bit more action-heavy, a little bit more bombastic. It's a way to have a true physical connection instead of just, you know, being overpowered.

Starting point is 00:16:08 Over-stimulated. It's kind of dark in here. Overpowered. Over-stimulated. Sometimes there's just too much happening. This is about not distracting. It is about actually being in the story itself. You want to see some footage of me, you know, actually trying it out. You should head to your local cinema and experience D-box move with the movement. That's the new tagline. He's got paid $2,000 for that.

Starting point is 00:16:42 Yeah, I mean, it did feel very human for him. Yeah. Go through, he had another loss. You know, he lost his parents, lost his uncle, all of his people. So then for him to make that choice in the end and not get the like just kind of re, not a revalue, but go through that same cycle of pain that he had been living his whole life, only for him to do it once more. I guess I just wanted a little movie. Well, it's the point of the afternoon that we can't change in the end. A bit of a movie thing going on.

Starting point is 00:17:10 He's like post second chance. So it's like, what is this third chance? What is that even? What is that? You know, and after something's so harrowing. And yeah, I mean, like the choice to go into like a sort of magical real sort of like there's nobody here on the street. He's alone. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:26 Is it a comment on him as a person as this sort of singular figure now who, I don't know. If you take it too literally, then you're like, well, are they just going to shoot him after this? Or is everybody going to, like, start a riot and be like, the major's dead. You know, this is great. Or, like, why would one person? The implication was that if he shot him, he'd get killed. Yeah, that's the implication for before. So, like, I don't know, I guess you can, you can certainly read that as this, we are, we just cut to him in the afterlife.

Starting point is 00:17:54 Or maybe symbolically, he does make it out and just winds up down this lonely road again because, you know. But right before he said that, he was like, give this to my kids. implying that he was going to one he was going to shoot him but two that he would live on past this moment oh I thought he was just saying that to get the gun oh I see I'm right between you both because I'm like I think you're saying it to get

Starting point is 00:18:15 that gun right now yeah and I don't know if yeah I don't know if the kids part is a true and honest he doesn't have kids no I know but that's what I'm saying that he's going to live on to have kids I don't know if there's an additional layer of like after I kill you I want to give this gun to my kids or if it's simply the ploy

Starting point is 00:18:32 that gets it into his head oh yeah I read it as purely, I'm actually like, I'm not even questioning it on it. I read it as like, it was purely a ploy. Yeah. Because he knew, they said, like, Mark, the major says something, like, he won't do it. He just wanted all the money. Don't throw it all away.

Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, throw it all the way. That's an implication that he will die or lose all this. So he wouldn't say, like, I want it to give to my kids if he's specifically getting it to kill the major. Yeah. So, I don't know. Would you think of the major, John? What you think of Mark Hamill's

Starting point is 00:19:03 performance he was in the movie he was good he was he's good he's good uh he's doing his thing his voice is fun to listen to he's appropriately sinister he's not like he's just a figurehead of the movie sort of he's not like a real guy my favorite moment with him is toward the end when they're when uh ray tells him to shut up you know and he's like mouthing off to him at that point you know he's he's doing a good job and he's lending his weight as a performer but it is not like a stretch for him. Yeah, I feel like he was serviceable. He represents, you know, the system that's keeping them in line

Starting point is 00:19:43 and the person that's like that's wronged him, especially Ray. It's interesting that someone like Francis Lawrence did this because in a way there's like parallels between, like you said, Hunger Games and this. But I feel like Hunger Games is like looking at like the... It's a little spectacle. Well, this is like... This is inverted hunger game. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:02 Like, this is more about the individual. that bomb bass we just went character drama and only character drama yeah but to put people in situations where they die for the sake of you know bettering their lives or community similar premise but yeah focusing in on the individual rather than and as a way as a way to drive the economy yeah it is some good shit yeah i love reality tv and there was a lot of shit in the movie a lot of people taking a lot of poops and there's one shot in particular was like wow i can't believe they showed that holy showed that shit you know Someone had to work on that in post.

Starting point is 00:20:35 That's right. They borrowed some assets from the Green Inferno. They called Eli Roth. Like, we need some diarrhea quick. And it also feels like an anti-war film. Yeah. Well, yeah, because the Long Walk itself feels like if you, it does bear resemblance to what I have to imagine and what many war movies depict. You know, minus all like the specific battles, you and this battalion marching towards death,

Starting point is 00:20:59 kind of getting to know each other with the full knowledge that you'll probably be ripped away from each other any second. from now like it is like a war movie but minus the actual the only war elements is the execution and it's like go die for your country you even have as they're walking by there's people saluting them you're inspiring people productivity is going to go

Starting point is 00:21:17 up after you you know ship out yeah what was the most impressive thing about this movie for you guys the shit scenes the shits yeah how they didn't really fall behind that long if that was Aaron you know I would be through yeah dude

Starting point is 00:21:31 one mile in You'd go down how we wanted to. Yep. I'd find the first bathroom. Wouldn't make it. I don't like any of these options. Just kill me. I don't want to go on my pants.

Starting point is 00:21:45 I don't want to have to walk and try and do it. I don't want to squat in front of you guys. Just kill me. Kill me now. The most impressive moment out of this. Or just like the aspect of the film. Weird. How it managed to be

Starting point is 00:22:01 incredibly. thoughtful, sad, and yet entertaining. And that's probably not the word you associate with this movie, but I was thoroughly entertained in spite of how much of an experience in the dark shadows that puts you in. It was still, it wasn't like self-indulgent and like, get the audience, sad, go. You know, like everyone had real personality. everyone felt like real people and never felt like that because even that could have felt telegraphed even that could have felt like punch up their personalities to make you care about them it seemed very sincere in its execution that's probably my favorite aspect of it because it's got all the technical prowess like it's beautiful to look at the the music is you know pensive and reflective of the moments that we're experiencing there's some cool like symbolic shots of animals uh but now as a as a movie it's like even without all that other extra stuff you're able to this isn't one of those films i think the only time with an audience where they might go i don't get it is the final moment which seems like very open to interpretation of what's happening in that final section uh i kind of take it as he died and he walks into like the darkness of hell in that moment considering all the christian theology that kept popping up throughout this film um because i don't think he would live out of this

Starting point is 00:23:33 maybe he goes to heaven instead yeah maybe he does yeah i do think that is impressive because yeah it's like this this it wasn't any one thing it had a bunch of things that you would expect but yeah it felt very human it wasn't like overly like a movie like this could be very pretentious a movie like this could be uh suffocatingly bleak or sad and it's like all the things but it definitely like allows you to acclimate in a way like oh i'm watching a movie movie capital m movie and then as it goes and it gets a little more reflective over time like it really does kind of like unfold the emotionality or the potential for that and the way they zeroed in like you said there's kind of a convergence of themes happening and there's so much about like the

Starting point is 00:24:18 malleability of the human spirit like under any circumstance you can kind of adjust and find like even tiny versions of joy or comfort in the worst situations and I do think that it kind of walked that walk and uh yeah it was very interesting very interesting in that way yourself her i felt like the pacing is probably the largest impressive thing or one of the the bigger impressive things the fact that this movie's under two hours yet it spans five days of all these guys just walking and doing that in a way where it doesn't get boring and it's not and it's very believable that you're watching these guys walk for the amount of time that they've been walking through their

Starting point is 00:25:04 performances, through the transitions. I feel like one of the first major times I noticed it was when Ray was walking and then it cut to his flashback or his dream and then cuts back and it's already nighttime and it's like falling asleep. I was like, oh, okay, that's a cool

Starting point is 00:25:20 way for them to show like transitions of day and time and the fact that you know, these are these factors that would come into play if someone were walking for five days, you know, Maybe you get a little bit of food here. Maybe you got to poop, but you better hold it because, you know, you're going to get shot. And the fact that you're able to have, you know, resonant character arcs that are paced well with the type of story that it is coupled with the fact that this is a very tight movie considering the type of plot it is was, yeah, extremely impressive to me.

Starting point is 00:25:51 It's sure in some ways it's like a one location film. Even like it's not. It's not. They're walking like through states and stuff and they go into different towns. but it's really just like a different set dressing for the same location, which is just the road. Just the highway. Yeah, with fields and pastures and the occasional river.

Starting point is 00:26:07 There's that one dam every now and again. There will be like a small town. But yeah, it does feel like you're kind of in the same place the whole time. I'm obsessed with bookends. I want to see if there's a bookend. What's the opening shot? The letter to Raymond. And then, so the opening of this is what it's, oh, my God.

Starting point is 00:26:27 What's going on? Why is it just not playing? hold on guys okay so walking down okay driving down a road is the opening is the moment here and the bright

Starting point is 00:26:41 road and then the ending of it is looking down a dark road well and you're in the country at the beginning whereas you're in the city at the end and you've got the street lights and the darkness and you know love a book end love a book end love a book and people love a book

Starting point is 00:26:56 movie um love a judy green She's great. Oh, she was great, too. Yeah. Yeah. And they cast a guy who was in stuff to be the dad. Like that one moment, like he left an impression.

Starting point is 00:27:08 They cast a guy who's in stuff. That's right. Guy, guy, he's, you've seen him and stuff. He's in stuff. He's in stuff. He's a guy. Where's the trivia? I want to, I want to see if there's any, like.

Starting point is 00:27:18 Oh, you got to go back. Did they remove the chairs on set? Yeah. Everyone had to be on a treadmill when they weren't on camera. That's my favorite part when I was thinking about this film is that, um, the influencer events and when they were like yeah you're going to watch the whole movie you got to walk in a treadmill the whole time fun promoted i'm like this isn't that kind of movie it is weird like it's not we've seen it's hilarious it's tremendously you're undercutting the

Starting point is 00:27:45 your own movie it is like the the rare influencer type of thing it's literally the top trivia one right there actually like on august 30th 2025 lions gate held a special screening where the invited is required to walk on treadmills at the regulation three miles per hour for the duration of the film and the threat of being thrown out if they slowed down. Coy did this. Yeah, Coy did it. I was like, after a halfway

Starting point is 00:28:09 through, I'm like, that is like a total way to undermine, like, make a joke out of this very serious experience. It's funny because, yeah, as an influencer event in isolation, I'm like, that's actually kind of brilliant, but having seen the movie, I'm like, this is not a fun enough movie for that. I'm just imagining

Starting point is 00:28:25 the people that are like getting emotional while they're walking like Fuck, man. They just got to keep moving. Or the people that actually had to take a shit while it was happening. Oh, so in the actual book, they have to walk at four, but Stephen King requested they change it to three. Really? He thought it was unrealistic.

Starting point is 00:28:42 Interesting. David Johnson didn't speak with Mark Hamel because he wasn't a fan of the last Jedi. Yeah. Bru and Luke, you're dead to me, Hamill. Sidon Phil Wright playing the major an authority figure with totalitarian regime. That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah, you know, you gotta stay method.

Starting point is 00:28:59 I guess that makes sense. Stay method. That's method for you. Dude, Kufur Hoffman said he and his co-stars walked 15 miles a day and 100 degree heat on concrete with no shade, totaling almost 400 miles. Oh, that makes more sense. Stephen King hasn't ever explicitly stated it, but it could be an allegorical critique of the Vietnam War,

Starting point is 00:29:21 senseless death and spectacle of state-sanctioned violence. That sounds very accurate. Yeah. Oh, in the book, the two characters are 16 years old. Oh, geez. That's sad. Really sad. I see.

Starting point is 00:29:36 Uh, no. Uh, no, nothing to know. Uh, no. The book, there were a hundred walkers. With no mention of state affiliations. That's a smart motif to throw in there. Why not? Who got pulled in from Hawaii and Alaska?

Starting point is 00:29:52 They get left out of half the things, and yet they're expected to participate in the long walk. so much shit that doesn't apply to Hawaii and Alaska wow David Johnson almost passed on it because he thought it was too bleak wow you were the heart you you gave a light in that bleakness you brought so much heart wow oh this is a Richard Bachman book too okay Stephen King Stephen King's pseudonym yeah that makes sense

Starting point is 00:30:18 Wow what a year for Stephen King I was going to say is this the phase we've now entered where we're just going to do all the Richard Bachman era stuff Yeah, we've done... He had three movies this year? Dang. Yeah. The Running Man is Stephen King, though, right? I think the Running Man is also a Bachman,
