This is like what I put on when I'm like, oh, I need my comfort sweatshirt. I love this baby. I'm so happy. Are you so happy?

Starting point is 00:00:32 Let's go. What a shout out. Prepper, thanks for hanging down these highlights. You guys have been killing it. You guys are doing so much right now. Really appreciate you. Hell yeah. All right.

Starting point is 00:00:46 So we'll give our talk, and then we'll go through some cues, and then we'll look up whatever you want to talk about. I'm only going to speak when spoken to, because last time I tried to step in, and then I got reamed like Reba. No, Miss Roxy, please. Yeah, that was good. It was really very good.

Starting point is 00:01:10 It felt it didn't feel like a horror movie as much as it reminded me of watching earlier on Real Rejects Twisters. The Twisters the OG years, Twister the OG and Twister and then Twisters. OK. Remind me of watching

Starting point is 00:01:23 Twister the first one because it was like a motley crew of people that had a good reason to be together. They're also dealing with seismic waves and trying to figure out. But I thought that that was really cool about this. I like that we weren't dealing with a family, but it felt like everybody really gave a crap about each other. You really believe that people would risk their lives to help save other people in this group because it's a town of 14 people. They all know each other. You really believe that people would risk their lives to help save other people in this group because it's a town of 14 people.

Starting point is 00:01:47 They all know each other so well. I also like that this movie just took its time. It breathed where it needed to breathe. I thought that the design on the sandworm was really interesting or whatever you want to call it. To me it wasn't too distracting how much it looked like a wee-wee. Or I guess... Or a bee- it looked like a wee-wee or I guess or a beehole or be whole we wee be whole we whole we it's a wee wee be whole calm good time I I like that. There's a love interest. You know I'm a lover of love shipper ships Anything with a romantic story to it. I also love a good bromance I thought this was a really fun like buddy movie so for all the reasons yeah, I get why this is popular. How'd you feel I? Thought that was a really fun. Yeah, it's like a b-movie pulpy creature feature horror action comedy

Starting point is 00:02:36 It's like a whole bunch of different genre splices the sensibilities that I love like there was so much I I really love like the look I think the obvious thing to say is like the creatures look cool. The creatures do look cool. The creatures are awesome. But I loved more when they were messing with the perspective of like watching the props. It's just like classic universal when you're seeing like things getting pulled around and you inked around and or the grounds moving up and down like all that stuff. Or like the stairs. That was the best. That was some of the best parts of me or like the car engine stuff.

Starting point is 00:03:05 I had I thought that was a really fun time. And yeah, I agree with all the points you're making about this. Well, the ensemble felt like they all really knew each other. There was a sense of authenticity to the way they all jived the way they all bonded with each other. And then I thought about that too, like the director seemed like he was having a really fun time. There's some definite Sam Raimi inspirations in the way it's captured with its point of view. Like Sam Raimi really made that popular with Evil Dead. But then, and then for this to be doing that, but it felt like it was appropriate. And it was funny. It was like a funny movie a lot of times.

Starting point is 00:03:38 I had, I thought it was an excellent cult movie. Yeah, that is the kind, it doesn't really entice me to want to watch more Tremors movies. Right, right. Because they kind of did everything I was hoping they would do in this movie. Yeah, yeah. I'm not like, I need to know the lore. There was that one point where I started to wonder if they were going to go down some lore rabbit hole since they were actually raising logical questions, you know? And I like that they

Starting point is 00:04:05 treated it like a real animal, you know, trying to understand where this might have actually come from and raising good theories. I guess I would be interested in that. I would be interested in if we're going after this as billions of years old, why does it not dormant anymore? Like if we are going to do sequels, we are at some point going to need to address why now and where's it coming from right? Yeah I just wonder if they would maybe kind of do this say I think there's like six of these that my assumption I could be way wrong is that they would just sort of do the same thing over and over. So you don't think we'd ever explain why now and where they're coming from? I imagine maybe by

Starting point is 00:04:41 part four. I think they would go, eventually they would figure it out. But part of the fun is not knowing what it is. We kind of need the help of the people at home to know, are we supposed to watch the rest of these? Like, is this a good franchise? Because the fact that you were looking on Amazon and everybody, and they had good reviews, I'm shocked. I've only ever heard of the first one of these.

Starting point is 00:05:02 Like, maybe you guys tell us the second one's amazing also, but then after that they're not good. I'm just curious, do you like this franchise? I mean, there was a time, I don't know if the other ones went to theaters. Maybe part two did. But, you know, it's from the era, like the wrong turns, when, you know, a lot of these movies would get a bunch of sequels that went straight to VHS or DVD.

Starting point is 00:05:24 Like, From Dusk Till Dawn lived on that way for a long time. This movie screamed 80s to me, so it's interesting that it came out in 1990. I mean, it was right at the end of 80s, so the 80s influence would still be predominant more than the 90s influence. Right, but just it was such an 80s movie. Like if I had just watched this

Starting point is 00:05:40 and wasn't thinking about Kevin Bacon specifically in this being After Footloose or whatever, I if I just watch this and said what year was this I would have guess it was mid 80s 80 86 maybe because it was just so the characters the clothing but it also makes sense because they're in a rural place it takes longer for the trends to change right like it's not gonna look like it's in the 90s somewhere like here what did you think about the kids that leaves it to good stakes I like the kids kids. They're fine boys a little stupid I wish she died girls a little dumb to didn't mind

Starting point is 00:06:13 Upset that sheep died wish that boy died Greg out. I don't even remember the little girl died I don't remember that I didn't say that Did you say she died? I thought you said she's a sheep oh sheep died sheep yeah you're worse I wish the little boy died he was awful little shit well girl didn't die I didn't think they were gonna kill either of the kids it seems like it's starting right around like the late 80s they started transitioning to not killing as many kids of movies if there's one thing I would have liked from the movie is if they did kill off more people though Like they a lot of the people that were killed off were people who you'd had zero investment You know like these random people working on the road. Although I think my favorite set piece is actually

Starting point is 00:07:02 Like I cared about him care about the shop owner that that one like stung but the the one that was my favorite set piece would actually be the old the old couple when the guy gets pulled to the ground and they swarm her in the car that that was directed it was very well there was a actual like it was like fun but it was it was also really tense and spooky yeah that was a that was a great sequence anything with the monsters was actually really well done right let, let me ask you this. Going into this movie, it was no secret to the audience that you and I are not having the best time.

Starting point is 00:07:30 Mm-hmm. For separate reasons. I forgot about my troubles for a while. You did? That's nice. Did you? No? I think I was very distracted.

Starting point is 00:07:39 Yeah, it happened. Yeah, sometimes. But I was so grateful to be watching a movie of this type. I was just like, oh, thank God this is the kind of movie. Like, I was glad that this wasn't super duper scary right now, because I kinda needed something a little more fun, and this was more fun than scary to me. Yeah, you know, when we're having days like this,

Starting point is 00:07:55 it takes like some extra concentration. Right. But I do notice when I'm filming a reaction, I pay attention way better to a movie or a show than when I'm at home, honestly. I try to watch shit at home and my mind is like zigzagging and I'm just getting on my phone and I'm not very good. So I like filming here because I'm forced to just

Starting point is 00:08:14 only pay attention to the movie. I'm with you with that. There's some moments where like remember we heard a couple characters names or like when we saw the cop car in the helmet and you're like, who is that or those names? And I was just like, I think if I was a better version of myself today,

Starting point is 00:08:27 I might know the answers to those questions you're asking me. I like to be very detail oriented. But no, I think that it was definitely the perfect kind of movie today. I'm really glad we saw it. And if people say the second one is great, I would be interested in watching more of these

Starting point is 00:08:42 if that was, if it was supposed to be good. And if this one does well too. If it gets like 20,000 views ain't gonna be enough. We need at least 21,000 views. We got editors to pay, we got mouse to feed, and I said mouse to pee so I don't get it anymore. Well we got some questions here from the Royal rejects. I'm going to hop around this time. Jump, jump, jump, jump around. I'm going to start off on Tim Pierce. What superpowers would you use to fight underground? Goddamn monsters.

Starting point is 00:09:16 Tim Pierce asks superpowers. I mean, if you had super strength, you could just like literally obliterate it if you were Superman. Super speed. Yeah, it wouldn't be able to keep up. You'd tire it out from its cardio. And you could go get help. Oh, yeah, I didn't even think about that. If you're the one with super speed, wouldn't you be the help? I'd be like, what do you mean? You're the one I go to finding help. No, if you have super speed, then you come back with a helicopter and come get the people.

Starting point is 00:09:47 That is true. And you just let it own that land. Yeah, yeah. Give up on the land. I mean, I don't think you'd want to stay living there after this. That's true. Maybe. Did they lay eggs?

Starting point is 00:09:59 But you know, when you have like an area 51 situation, that's why I was watching. I was like, oh man, this town could be worth a lot more money and they could like actually get tourists and stuff. Well, the government would take over. All right. Previewed a little bit of the second part of this. It sounds fun. Start us in madness. I love Trevor's. It's one of my go to movies to put on when I'm sick. Nice. What an interesting healing. No, I get why. Yeah, it's good for the mind. I hope you had so much fun watching this. You both seem like active, busy people. Do you think you'd be able to sit, walk quietly enough

Starting point is 00:10:28 to survive a grab-boyed invasion? Are they called the grab-boys? This is like the second time we've heard this, grab-boyed? That must be the thing. What was the first time we heard it? Didn't he just say grab-boyed? He did not say grab-boyed.

Starting point is 00:10:41 No, that right there, that person said grab-boyed. Who? The bottom one. Oh, you were reading ahead, okay. Speed reading around. I was like, what are you talking about? I. No, that right there. That person said grab boy. The bottom one. Speed reading. I was like, what are you talking about? I've never heard that word before. The power of ADHD. You can do shit like that.

Starting point is 00:10:51 Good for you, man. You think you'll be able to walk quietly enough to try to grab boys this way? Uh, yeah. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. When I, I've always thought that I would do decently in a quiet place. I am able to shut down so easily.

Starting point is 00:11:05 When I have to, I am gone. Like you will not notice that I exist. Well, the problem with these, and like this is gonna sound like I'm being an immature little boy, but sometimes, you know, people get gassy. You can't control that. I'm not people.

Starting point is 00:11:20 You're not one of those people. Yeah. You know, I like to have digestive enzymes and probiotics. And if we're living in a quiet place, I will be consuming that fiber products, you know. You never know. But you think you're shaking the ground with your gas? Like, could you just make it to the roof? I mean, if you're holding it in long enough, can you imagine?

Starting point is 00:11:35 Especially in a quiet place, we wouldn't survive. I don't know if I'd make vibrations. And you can't suck it in at all, like... Yeah, you definitely don't understand. No, I don't get it. That's what we're still doing. Yeah, a little weird. Just, yep, okay.

Starting point is 00:11:48 Anyway. No, like you're like squeezing in your... We have more. God damn it, woman. Did you know that Kevin Bacon considered this the lowest point in his career for many years? What? I thought he was great. He only took the role for the money.

Starting point is 00:12:02 He was broke. Kira was pregnant with their first child and his mom had become ill. And he couldn't believe how far he'd sunk. God damn, I had no clue about any of this. But now he says it was the most fun he's ever had working on a movie. RIP Fred Ward, I imagine that's the other guy.

Starting point is 00:12:16 That's the best friend in it. He was great in this. Yeah, I think Fred Ward and him were great. I thought Kevin Bacon was so good. He was one of the parts I was very complimentary of because he's having fun and he blends in with the cast. He's definitely the lead, but he doesn't feel like they're composing a movie around him. You know what I think is amazing though, and what a great lesson to everybody, is that

Starting point is 00:12:38 sometimes we think something is like a low point for us, but then looking back on it, we're like, no, that was actually, I made the most of that, and I'm so proud of myself for doing that. I think about that all the time. I was just talking to Greg before this, just now, about something I really, that I have to do for money, that I don't feel like doing, but I have to do. That sounds more nefarious than it is.

Starting point is 00:12:58 It's just a- Oh, it's as nefarious as it sounds, people. This is a job, and it's a totally fine job, but the point being is, you never know what opportunities can come from taking things that you think might not be, might be, quote unquote, below you, or not where you're at in that current moment. And I think that it happens to even people

Starting point is 00:13:16 that we really admire. And I'm glad that he was able to then put his ego aside and have fun with this. Because I could imagine why, after the career he was having, reading this script it might read like you know this is not a big director you don't know any of the other cast really like it's about this worm underground I could imagine reading that and him being like but then it ended up being awesome so that's cool yeah and also at that time, horror, nowadays, actors

Starting point is 00:13:46 are way more drawn to horror. But back then, it was the lesser than Franchise, less than their genre. And that's so true. It's one of those things where you're like, I wish I realized the fun I was having in the moment, instead of taking that for granted. That's a good point.

Starting point is 00:14:04 was having in the moment. Right. Instead of taking that for granted. That's a good point. Matt Lofkin for Roxy and Greg. That's us. Yep. I first saw Charmers as a kid after my dad had recorded it on video. I didn't know what I was watching until it was too late. After that I wouldn't go on beaches. Oh, I remember drives. I was scared it might be underneath me. Yeah, I had the same thing with anaconda. I was afraid to use the toilet because I thought a snake would go up my bumhole. To this day at 34, if I go on a beach and if I still find myself wondering what if they're down there? My question to you is does this movie give you the same shivers and have any other monster movies give you the same fears? Ah, I answered prematurely. Jaws putting you off of swimming, for example. Jaws was another for me. So thanks to tremors and Jaws beaches were fun there's a lot of beach talk here love you guys love you Matt Lofkin do you have something like that Roxy? It's not a movie but two things there are two

Starting point is 00:14:53 articles I read in the newspaper when I was a kid that prevented me from wanting to do two very specific things for like my entire life and really scared the crap out of me do you want to hear what they are? I would love to hear it. Okay, the first one was, I was out visiting California and I believe it was in the LA Times or it was in some major newspaper. I read that somebody went to Venice Beach and stepped on a needle and died because they contracted a very serious disease

Starting point is 00:15:20 from that needle, just like a beach goer. So every time I go to Venice Beach, which is frequently, I live on the west side of town so I go to Venice Beach every time I look down every step I take. That's smart. That scared the crap out of me. And then the other one was that for those of you guys who don't know which is probably the vast majority of you there's this Jewish tradition called the Hora and you'll see it at a lot of Jewish celebrations where you lift people in this chair and you lift them up and you dance around them. And in the Boston Globe growing up, I read that the people that they lifted had had a heart attack and died. And I was really

Starting point is 00:15:57 scared to do that at my mutt mitts for that because I was like, what if I had a heart attack and die? And my parents had to remind me that the person who died was in their 90s. Oh, Jesus. A little bit different. And those were the two things that really scared me. Anyway. Those are good answers, man. Oh, I remember them.

Starting point is 00:16:13 Like, those were the things that I read and was like, oh, no. I'm going to die. Yeah, my famous one is that around the time I saw a preview for Anaconda and I saw a news report, maybe the news report was like a preview for Anaconda and I saw a news report. Maybe the news report was doing it because of Anaconda where a woman sat on a toilet and there was a snake

Starting point is 00:16:31 there and it killed her. And I didn't realize I was like in my 30s which is now that I was like as I've been afraid my for there's like solid 10 years where I was like oh my God is going to snake that's going to go up my butthole when I sit down.

Starting point is 00:16:46 And then I realized like, wait, there was never anything in the story about it going up her butthole. It's just something I've totally made up. So it must have just bitter. But I had this whole thing I convoluted as like a real thing. I was like, I don't think there was anything about that. I'm like, why would that even work? What are the mechanics here? Why did your mind go there? I don't know. I was a little boy. I was like, I don't think there was anything about that. I'm like, why would that even work? The mechanics here.

Starting point is 00:17:05 Why did your mind go there? I don't know, I was a little boy. I just assumed it's an entryway, you know? Thomas Doherty, what would your strategy be? I got a meeting, Rox. I know, but we're on story time and you promised you would tell me the story. I'll tell it right after the questions.

Starting point is 00:17:22 Reject nation, I have officially lost over 45 pounds this year. I am still working on a couple of extra goals for body composition development. And I'm proud to say I've done it with no injections, no crash diets, just pure discipline, consistent training, and yeah, fuel with fuel. When I started back in January, I was like 218 pounds and now I'm averaging between like 171 to 173. And one of the things that's helped me genuinely stay on track with having such a busy schedule, especially now that we have this like office away from my home, I got a fridge right over

Starting point is 00:17:56 there that is packed with so much of this. Huel's Black Edition Ready to Drink.

But they could have been at the house and doing the bait thing. Or right when they got to the guy with the bombs, like, there's your solution. Just bait it out. If you guys were able to shoot it to death, you can get it in its mouth. It's like not far-fetched. Bait it out, Greg Alba, 2025.

Starting point is 00:19:59 That's what I'm talking about, peeps. And yes, I loved his performance. KJ Gold. Tremors is a really fun creature feature action comedy. What small size critters would you love to see become a giant animal menace? Mine would be Godzilla sized guinea pigs. Oh.

Starting point is 00:20:13 That would be wild. That would be creepy. Oh, yeah. Anything like that. Mice, rats, guinea pigs. What about a goldfish? I mean, it would need water, right? I mean, it would still be pretty scary underwater.

Starting point is 00:20:29 I feel like a bobcat, like bobcats already freak me out because they look like giant cats. So I think like a bobcat would be like a freaky ass thing. A moth. Yeah, bugs were, I think bugs were like a big thing in the nineties as like something to fear. Yeah, still. oh my the thing. I'm most afraid of everybody here knows Greg had to experience it once as cockroaches. Yeah Oh imagine that giant. Oh my god. That'll be awful stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop Eric Horstman my man tremors my go-to when I'm feeling shit

Starting point is 00:21:04 Just a good fun time the pair up of Bacon Ward and Gross McIntyre are the best oh yeah too I love them as a couple I was so worried when the guy was when I thought the husband would die I'm like no I love them as a husband and wife I like how they were both like capable and had guns and you know I agree wasn't just like taking care of the woman who are some of your favorite comedy action pairings Side note I met Michael Gross when he was on my all-time favorite sitcom growing up family ties Nicest guy ever also met Reba VIP backstage concert and just as sweet as damn. Oh, that's awesome. This movie must mean a lot to you I loved the Owen Wilson Jackie Chan team up recently. I

Starting point is 00:21:42 Watched it for the channel and I was like oh they are so good together. Their chemistry is unreal. The Rush Hour films are phenomenally bigger. I prefer their chemistry and their pairing. I think there's something I'm way more into but I would probably go Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan is my number two. I also am obsessed with Abby and Alana and they do some action stuff. They end up doing some stoner action stuff together. That's fun.

Starting point is 00:22:15 Those are my answers. I did like Seth Rogen and James Franco on Pineapple Express. Cancelled. Yeah. Oh, there's one action comedy franchise that I can't list. Canceled! KevB, if you lived in Perfection, Nevada, love that.

Starting point is 00:22:32 How do you think you try to stay alive when Graboids start attacking? Oh man, that's a common question. Alright, what's the second question then? Maybe... Second answer. I feel like we didn't try to light them on fire at any point And they just have a lot of access to like shit like that like yeah oil and stuff There's just things that we could have tried. Yeah spraying them with under pest control I think they had a budget problem. They couldn't do some shit. Yeah, or it would have ended the movie a lot earlier

Starting point is 00:23:01 They had to pad out that runtime. I think the movie could have been trimmed down by like 10 more minutes. I actually think so too, yeah. That's all 10 minutes. I think there was like a little stretcher, like come on guys. Yeah, I agree, I agree. Kevin Meek, love this movie so much.

Starting point is 00:23:14 Favorite B movie ever. It was filmed in Lone Pine, not far from LA. There's a really cool mountain bike trail out there called Movie Road Trail. What? I would love to see that. Oh, I would love that. Real rejects trip, let's go baby that's my jam dude that's awesome 17 miles long and takes you through beautiful scenery where several phones

Starting point is 00:23:33 been shot oh thanks for this I it is now a good moment to tell you that I don't know how to ride a bike I don't know how to ride a bike it takes me a while to figure it out but I'm glad we're not alone on that. Okay. Yeah, it was until my 20s when I finally got a grip on it. Def, worth checking out, can be a tough place. Nah, man, that sounds like a perfect time for me. The practical effects and real location make this movie kind of infectious. I love when you guys share your mini reviews.

Starting point is 00:23:58 Yeah, me too. And Kevin Bacon, of course. What is another film of this caliber that sticks with you for some of the same reasons? Those reasons being practical effects, real location. B-movie, I think, yeah. I mean, the obvious one would be like Evil Dead 2, just because of all the practical effects that are in there. I mean, that would be my answer, if I'm being honest.

Starting point is 00:24:18 If I don't wanna try to sound smart in my go-to, I would say that one. I love that too, which I also watch for this channel. There's so many horror movies that do this that are exactly what you just described But what was the name of that movie that you had me watch on the day? I was supposed to watch another movie and then I doubled up to watch them and it is like

Starting point is 00:24:41 Jackie Chan directed it and starred in it police story story? Yeah. Isn't that a B movie? I mean it's a Hong Kong movie. I don't know if it's a B movie. Well, I guess like the budget was supposedly much lower, I thought. Isn't that what makes something a B movie? That's what I think about when I think like, oh my god, there was such cool, like the way this was shot and the way that they did things was just so cool. And it was all like practical stuff. Yeah. and the way that they did things was just so cool. And it was all like practical stuff.

Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah. It's not scary, but with him going down the... Yeah, I think B movies normally associated with like pulp horror, pulp action. Okay, so not that one. I'll come up with a movie. That's just a good action movie in a different country. It was.

Starting point is 00:25:20 It was. But America first. America always first. We were the first thing ever to exist on this. Sorry, sorry. Resonance Z. That's a cool title. Resonance Z. That's clever. Resonance.

Starting point is 00:25:35 Tremors is probably one of my favorite comedy horror movies. The characters are smart. That's another thing I respected is like, other than the fact that it took too long to get around to a thing and rarely do anything to put themselves in danger They also actively try to gather information react to new information clever ways I like that the tremors were also adaptable and uh would outwit the humans My question and that one of them was smarter than the others Yeah, and then one of our humans was smart enough to figure out that that one was smarter than the others
