Reject Nation this past year, I've been taking my health way more serious. I mean, it's physically, mentally, all of it.

Starting point is 00:00:39 I've drawn close to 50 pounds this year. It changed completely how I eat. And yes, that also includes going to the doctors, which used to be a nightmare. Because you know that moment when you're like, I should see someone about this. And then before you know, you're Googling, you're like 14 tabs deep. And you're like, who takes my insurance? Who's even available? What do these reviews even mean?

Starting point is 00:00:56 Every time I just found the process to be such a headache. calling around to see if they're available trying to figure out who takes my insurance, getting stuck on hold for eternity, only to be told the next appointment is months away.

Starting point is 00:02:15 Ladies and gentlemen, Roxy just watched Tremors 3. Did Greg? Greg watched Tremors 3 as well. And we did it because you guys. guys heavily requested it yeah and that led excitement and enthusiasm with an open mind we got some questions with the pictures well we just start there i think it's a good place to start and then we'll just see what happens afterwards sounds good let me just load this one post again and we'll just go in order instead of uh try to think about how to you know organize it keep stalling dude verify that

Starting point is 00:02:54 you're a human all day. Dude, dude. Craig's got to go to the bathroom again. You want to pause? Nope. Nope. Don't you worry. I see one.

Starting point is 00:03:06 Fly. Oh, wait. Fly Pan Am. Bert Gummer versus the Predter 1987 version. Who would win with their full arsenals available? I haven't seen it. You haven't seen Predator? I don't think so. Maybe. Arnold Schwarzenegger? Yeah, I don't think I have.

Starting point is 00:03:22 I might have. I don't remember it. Oh, dude. Oh, Burt would totally Oh, versus the Predator? Oh, no, the Predator would win. I don't think Bert stands a damn chance against the Predator. Honestly, the Predator is just like

Starting point is 00:03:33 He's Burt, but with like, with everything the Grabboid has, pretty much. There's no way, no way. I don't want to ruin what a predator does, but the Predator has, like, everything. He's a walking weapon with guns and shit and has a heat vision. You know, we don't need to get into it.

Starting point is 00:03:47 Flat Pan Am, I'm sorry. Sorry to break it to you, Bert would lose. Liam Harold. You got fun facts for us, Roxy. Okay, let's hear them. Uses footage from Trevor's 1990 for some of the grabboid scenes. Oh, I just like reused it. Way to cut some corners here.

Starting point is 00:04:02 Okay, save that money. For pacing and budgetary reasons, a lot of Shrieker action was cut from the middle of the script. Definitely did not feel that. Ultimately, shriekers only appear in the opening scene as well as there was shed huss later in the film. I was definitely feeling like there was a lot of cut stuff going on. 100%. And then they like stretched it out with a lot of human stuff. to work around the lack of

Starting point is 00:04:25 But the whole thing could have been shorter So it's interesting that they tried to stretch that But yeah All right All right Jay Rushden has just a friendly comment here This movie was fun with the ass blasters Even never been in an elevator or a car When someone farted loudly

Starting point is 00:04:41 Yeah I never been an elevator of a car Yeah that's uncomfortable as hell Yeah see there's not a lot of people Okay wait no we got some What's happened? No rejects I don't know what's going on here guys we did this because you guys requested it kev b first we got some trivia here ass blasters inspired by the bombardier beetles these creatures propelled themselves by ejecting chemicals raised from their tails enabling flight without literal wings the filmmakers brought them to life using a mix of practical animatronics like articulated heads and stunt bodies mounted on carts and early cgi for flight and action scenes because this movie had a tight budget and

Starting point is 00:05:23 schedule some of the digital effects for rush didn't perfectly match the physical models while the ass blasters added something new many people often point out the CGS sometimes look a little bit plastic which affected the suspense in certain scenes did the creature effects suck you into the monster mayhem or did

Starting point is 00:05:39 they make you laugh or roll your eyes Roxy? It's like I wanted to love them because theoretically a creature that farts, fire and flies is so up my alley. That's silly and stupid and wild and different i'm into it but for some reason it just didn't grab me

Starting point is 00:06:00 and i do think that some of the effects didn't look great so uh i was a little bit rolling my eyes and i was a little bit laughing i would agree with you full-heartedly on this one roxy trevers three from brandon nasahoe uh says um or brandon saw ho Chambers 3 is the best one My favorite Wow Wow see there's one comment We disagree with you

Starting point is 00:06:27 Full fartedly Thank you Resonant Z Would you have seen this movie If you knew what the next Evolution would be I remember a friend Spoiling the Ass Blasters

Starting point is 00:06:39 When the movie originally came out And it took me a while to watch it after because of that No in fact that's the hook Like I would have been so excited To know that You know I just think that they didn't do that hook justice fully no me neither man um i think that hook was once they introduced that i was

Starting point is 00:06:58 like oh shit things are about to like kick in a high gear me too me too and i was ready for it and i kept gearing up and then there's like two moments bird gets swallowed that was cool and then ass blaster and both times were like oh shit just that's like a turn and then nah it just kind becomes a little bit like by the book um you know just the way things go i guess and then um okay last one here could you ever in your lifetime of guess that's what they would call the new evolution and tremors three no i think gliders makes more sense because they glide yeah but the ass blasters is funnier but then they needed to do more funny stuff so yeah fire gliders fire gliders yeah well we could also tell by the questions here that there wasn't much of an engagement on this one i'm kind of curious though because a lot of people wanted us to watch us and we do have people saying it was their favorite like really i mean it's even got like a pretty high ron tomato score out of five people yeah i saw that i don't know it's not like i was like oh i hate this movie i just kept waiting to like it yeah and i never got there fully well look bert

Starting point is 00:08:14 consistently great awesome he's so great i mean the movie would have sucked without him bert saves every moment of this movie yeah because like you go from a guy who's a great because he's not like really a comedic relief in the first one then he's definitely like more of a comedic relief in the second one and then you take that guy and you make him a lead it's kind of a tall order sometimes you do that with a movie you're like ah sometimes they're better fitted when they're supporting character and they uh that's the biggest credit i can give this movie

Starting point is 00:08:42 they managed to make it a lead What do you think about going back to perfection? I like that we went back there. However, the only reason to me that I would want to go back to perfection is for Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon. And we don't have either of them. And we have a bunch of kids. And Riba. Like, I wanted a rekindling of the love and realizing, like, he can't just be hunting these grabboids forever.

Starting point is 00:09:08 He wants to be with Riba. I just wrote my own movie, but it's not this movie. So if we're going to go back to perfection, I wanted some of those. those characters instead we had the two annoying kids and the girl wasn't annoying but the boy was i actually liked the rivalry though and i liked the original characters coming back into this i wish we kind of had more of that leaned in more to that um but yeah so i thought it was good and also could have gone further how about you yeah i think this is a movie with a lot of concepts that they presented that i thought were like there were so many times i thought oh shit this is a cool

Starting point is 00:09:42 concept, beyond the two scenes, you know, even when they introduced the government people coming in and the endangered species and all that, I was like, oh, damn, cool, what a great evolution. Because I'm constantly interested in how they're evolving the world outside of this town, you know, like how popular are the grabboids and shriekers? They've got comic books now and how popular is

Starting point is 00:10:00 the tourist attraction site, you know? And, you know, like, they set up the thing with, like, one of the kids has gone off and it's trying to make money off of this town that he kind of hates it he grew up in. Then you've got the daughter who has reverence and still stuck here. you got the one girl whose uncle died here in the first movie is now running the town like there's there's so much like potential that i love the setups for it and it just seemed like they were never fully met right and these are things that i don't feel like are budgetary problems you know i understand when it's like shriekers or grabboids and then oh they got to trim the budget because you know it's fucking it's a straight to DVD movie and you don't got fred war or kevin bacon coming back so they're not really going to fund this movie i get that but these are the other things that i felt

Starting point is 00:10:46 like if they had you know realize these concepts more lean more into them instead of just setting them up and then letting them kind of fizzle out throughout the course of the movie i think they gave so much more attention to jack and and that girl with random scenes of them sort of bonding to have a romantic ending uh that i'm like oh no there's there's all these other elements that could have just been dialogue it would have made the experience more fun and more interest in the world building could have been more interesting i think you know i'm totally with you so yeah it was kind of a missed and i felt like the movie's like too long well what was it an hour 45 this is the longest tremors movie i feel like a 90-minute movie would have really benefited this movie i don't know

Starting point is 00:11:31 why it was stretched out like i don't even know what the stretch i don't even know what the stretching out purpose was, well, what have we like, they just kind of like drag certain things out that just felt repetitive from the first one. Mm-hmm. You know? Mm-hmm. I do know. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm bummed because we're sitting here, I really like this franchise. We were so

Starting point is 00:11:48 pleasantly surprised with Tremors 2 that I was like, maybe I'm going to be pleasantly surprised with Tremors 3. Me too. Me too. And, like, the people had wanted us to watch it. I saw that Rotten Tomato score and I was just like, oh, yeah. So I just, I think that I, my expectations were too high going into this. And this really was super mid yeah

Starting point is 00:12:06 yeah I would love to like really break this one down but I'm like it's just kind of it's repetitive it's road it pulls from the previous ones and the new characters are not the most likable I like the concept of the

Starting point is 00:12:22 it's shutting its skin and now it can glide and the like the silliness of the way that they do that yeah I just wish that the story had been a little different what would you have wanted to see in a tremors for after this I don't know I think tremors horse is the one that goes like prequel territory and stuff i don't really know but yeah you know it's like at least in the second one even there was that the little point in that movie i'm like oh we're kind of

Starting point is 00:12:44 just going through the motions here when the shrieker stuff happens it really takes a turn and and i don't i don't feel and yeah they have budgetary problems i don't really feel like they lean too much into the ass blasters concept either and they seemed even easier to defeat than the shriekers they're like too easy yeah the the heat thing also i don't feel like they were consistent with it because like if they go towards the heat and then there's huge fires why are they still going towards you? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:10 Look, there's like 18 of these movies and so we for sure have officially pissed off the fanfix. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't hate this one. I just wish I loved it and I didn't. This was the one that I was like consistently checking the clock for.

Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah, I looked like four times at that maybe more. Once we were at the 45 minute mark, I was like, okay, this movie's like kind of dragging it a little. I know, I know, I know, I know. God damn. And it just felt like, ah, you know,

Starting point is 00:13:37 you're the third one. Go cheesier. Go cornyer. Go campier. With the ass blasters. You got to carry, you had monsters named ass blasters. Just go,

Starting point is 00:13:45 go. I don't need something like, I'm not saying go more serious or like when you do world building. Just like lean into something to make it more fun. But yeah, I think that's the thing is like,

Starting point is 00:13:54 I just did not find this one fun. It was a bit of a slog. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, dragged for sure. And we normally talk for like 20 to 30 minutes on these things.

Starting point is 00:14:03 I feel like we got like five It's worth the talking points in, you know? I mean, we thank goodness for their questions, and I hope that we didn't do you guys dirty. But, yeah, I don't have, I don't like to rip other people's art. And to me, this just, there was so much more we could do with this, and we didn't. So I don't think it was horrific, but it just didn't work as well as I think it could

Starting point is 00:14:23 have if you had spent a little more time on the script. Yeah. I mean, okay, we've got to point us a couple more good things that we'll call it. All right. Like, what was like, uh, what was, what was, oh, you like the Asian American? representation. Hell yeah, there's got to be like one cool moment. It was like

Starting point is 00:14:38 one cool. Well, I like the fact that we, the fact that we thought that they were going to eat the food and that would multiply them, but then the mom and the daughter realized that it actually That's a real bummer. Yeah, bummer, but you know, that was a good moment of watching Bert, like, really feel defeated then because he can't, even doomsday preppers, can't

Starting point is 00:14:56 prep for everything. A very formal moment was actually when he was swallowed and they had to break him out. That was probably my favorite moment. It was really early on. And it looked really good. The orange and the... Yeah, and the jack guy kind of grew on me a little bit. I liked that when we went into

Starting point is 00:15:10 the doomsday prepper room, then he had that slide to get out, too. Oh, man, he blew up his whole dune. I know, I know, I know. That jack guy didn't grow on me. I know, I could tell. I didn't like him, and I do like the girl, and I was kind of like, what?

Starting point is 00:15:28 But, I mean, he got more useful. I just didn't... He was a swindler. And then I know that it's ironic because the creepy dude at the beginning, I was like, oh, I wish the creep stayed around. But he was just like a, I don't know. I didn't love the characters in this one. Hey, man. It happens.

Starting point is 00:15:48 It happens. There are times not a charm for Roxy and Greg, and I think we're going to call it on the trimers franchise. So, yep, yep, yep, leave your positive opinions down below. We went in with a real open mind. All right. I think I went in with two open in mind. I thought this movie was going to be really good. Well, we didn't even really want to watch the second one,

Starting point is 00:16:07 but the comments were, like, so encouraged and they were like, all right, I thought I'm watching the second one. That movie was straight up good. And I thought it would be a similar thing. And I was like, oh, no, this is not a similar thing for us at all. This is kind of dragging. But we've got to be honest. But even though people say we like everything.

Starting point is 00:16:22 Yep. All right, guys. Well, we're going to peace out, and hopefully we don't lose the Roxy and Greg love that we have. No, we won't. You guys, I feel like that. some of you guys think the same thing that we do but either way hopefully you just you still vibe with the what are we groxy that sounds like a venereal disease and that checks out got a case of the groxies that you know shit the regs oh we're the regs we're regs yeah that sounds

Starting point is 00:16:52 more like it sounds like an ass condition like you know no regs is like we're just regular degulars wow this is boring i prefer the ass condition all right guys we'll see you groxy out Thank you. Thank you.
