This is a HeadGum Podcast. This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch. Hi everyone. Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Emily and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sami and I love watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you don't have

to and Hail Chella continues going strong. This is week five, I believe, and five of 13. Hell yeah, it'll never end. I love when it's not yet half over. Like once we get to- The halfway point is always tough. It's always like, oh, I don't want it to be over. I know.

Well, good news, it's not. It's not yet. So that's- Don't go there yet. Okay. Be in the present where we're still, we're still in the thick of it. We're in the meat of it.

The meatiest portion of Haljela. Yes. Just like how we're in the meatiest portion of summer. I feel like this is- We are. Drew? This is the meat of summer for sure. Peak summer. The peak.

Though it is still lovely in Los Angeles. Hope that's not a jinx, but it has been a beautiful weekend. It's so humid here. It's like you walk outside and you're sweating. Your upper lip is just like immediately coated. It's so gross. Yeah. If you want to know what movie we are recapping,

or if you want to jump straight to it rather, there's timestamps in the show notes. Because first, I don't think really any haunted housekeeping. I guess we could remind everyone that all of these episodes are available as video episodes on our Patreon. And if you sign up for our Patreon, there are also ad free episodes and trailer reactions and other fun things as well.

So, great place to be. That's a great place to be. Tony Collette's, Tony fucking Collette's inner circle. It's the tier you want to be at. But yeah, I guess that's all the haunted housekeeping for now. So, you guys, did anything scary happen to you this week? I mean, mine's nothing, so I'm gonna just get it out of the way. But I promised Joel in our vows that I would cook him dinner once a year.

And I did it. I did it this week. That is such a reasonable thing to promise. Yeah. I mean, it took me 10 months. So, you know, that it's not... I mean, he loves cooking and he. So, you know that it's not, I mean, he loves cooking and he's very, very good at it. Like my dad is in town and Joel made dinner for him the other night and my dad said to me, like I thought you talked about how good of a cook Joel is

just because you really love him, but he's actually like, he's actually a very, like a legitimately very good cook. And I was like, I know I'm not just, I mean, I, it's for real. So- What did Joel make? Wait, I need deets. What did Joel make for your dad?

He made pizza in the pizza oven. It was really fucking good. And he made, you know, he's great understanding of flavors. He came up with his own like toppings and combos and it was so fucking good. And my dad doesn't, he doesn't have cows milk, like I guess lactose intolerant is what you would call it. But like sheep's cheese and goat's cheese and stuff is fine.

So Joel was like exploring different kinds of cheeses he could use and like low dairy option. And it just, it was, he's just so good. He's such a good cook. But so why would I ever cook? Like I don't love it and I'm not as good at it. Like I can follow a recipe and I have a basic understanding of flavors,

but it's not bringing me joy Yeah, and you can feel the joy in the food But Joel was a little under the weather which also happens very rarely. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna make dinner I'm gonna do it and you guys I made salmon How'd it go? How'd you make it? It went well Sammy Sammy can I saw ran into Sammy and Duncan at the grocery store and They were shocked that I had that I had fish in my cart. They were like, wait, you're cooking that? And I was like, yeah.

And it did freak me out a little bit. I did have to call Joel in for a moment because it was skin on, it was just fine. That was the point of it. But there were scales, which I was like, what the fuck? That's what fish skin is like. And it freaked me out. And I was like, what am fuck? That's what fish skin is like. Yeah, and it freaked me out. And I was like, what am I supposed to do with this?

So that was scary. But I found an easy piece of New York Times recipe. If I can do it, anyone can do it. It is corn kernels on one side of the oven pan. You got Sam's attention. It seemed immediately pumped up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the salmon, skin side down, scale side down,

salt and pepper, and then you just coat the tops of the pieces with just a little bit of mayonnaise, a little bit of Kewpie, if you got it, and you broil it for like eight minutes. And it was perfect and delicious. And I put some lime juice on it at the end there and added some cherry tomatoes to that little corn salad situation.

Wow. Added some feta cheese, delightful, delicious, easy peasy. Great. Love it. But now I'm done for the year. Oh my gosh. And I did it. I'm not going to lie. I have never understood what broiling is and anytime my recipe calls for it, I'm like, well, I don't know how to do that. So I'm not going to do that. So it's in some ovens and in our oven, it's a different drawer. It's like that bottom drawer. Yeah. And so broiling is just cooking at a really high temperature from above only. As opposed to the whole putting it like in the middle of the oven and the heats all the way around, you're just cooking it top down. But I don't know like why you decide to do that.

I mean, a recipe told me to. So some ovens, you do it in the main part of the oven and just on a really high shelf, you like move the shelf up high type of thing. And you put on broil setting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But ours is the broiler is below. It seems like it would taste better broiled, but-

Broiling is nice. But I'm just so intimidated by it. I don't know why you do it. It is scary and I was really scared I was gonna like burn myself because I had to like get a big pan in and out of that like little drawer down there where there's so much heat.

Yeah, cooking is scary. That's scary. I almost burnt down someone's house broiling a dessert in their dad's oven. And this was on an ill-fated summer trip with two people who like, I don't talk to anymore. And honestly, I think that this cooking incident was like maybe the nail in the coffin for the friendship

where it was like, it was like not something we could laugh about afterwards. It was like, it was like, it was like you almost burnt my dad's house down type of vibe. When was it? Was this like high school? No, this was like, two years ago. This is like seven years ago. It was like, not that long ago. Yeah. But that was really it was stupid. It was my it was my I was being a complete idiot. And I thought that we could boil something that we couldn't. And it did

light on fire. And I did have to put it out. I did successfully, nothing was burned down. It was not that big of a deal, but tensions were running high. It was like we were in an episode of Kitchen Con. No, what's it called? Hell's Kitchen? What's that show called where he just comes in and yells at you?

Kitchen Nightmares kills. I mean, I don't know why, I'm guessing I literally don't watch any of it. I know who you're talking about. Gordon, it's Gordon Ramsay, right? Gordon Ramsay's. He just screams at you and tells you you're an idiot. I needed Gordon Ramsay in the room,

honestly, to diffuse the tension. I'm trying to, I feel like if I just say his name enough times, the title of the show will come to me, but it won't. Yeah, Kitchen Nightmares sounds right. I think it's Kitchen Nightmares. Anyway. But. But.

I do broil, there's a chicken thigh recipe, boneless skinless chicken thigh, New York Times. You do a little quick little like soy sauce, miso, honey, marinade, pop those guys into the broiler, cook real fast. That's a good, I do that like once a week, weeknight meal. See, honestly, I'd be more scared to cook chicken because the thing, at least I'm like with fish,

if I don't cook, if it's undercooked, everybody lives. I use a meat thermometer like religiously. Yeah, see, there's certain tools I'm not gonna touch. That's, yeah, that's too much. This is a bridge too far. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, I did it. I cooked dinner.

I don't have to cook dinner for, I mean, I could at any point in the year. So maybe I cook dinner again in like three months, but maybe not again for 13 months. You know, I've got plenty of time. Right, right, right, right. Just mark it in your calendar. But if I don't do it, he'll leave me.

He'll leave you. That's how vows work. Yeah. Okay. Well, I guess I just want to tell you guys more in depth about what happened to me, which you already know, but I'm going to talk about it on the podcast. Oh my God. It hurts me even, it hurts me.

This is unreal. I can't believe this happened. So the night before I left California, sorry, this is TMI. If you guys want to fast forward a little bit. Oh my God. Honestly, this is only one of the two things I thought you were maybe going to talk to. I know, that's true. I actually just realized I wasn't sure which one you were going to think I was going to talk about. Both are really bad. I'll talk about both of them real fast. So the night before, traveling, traveling home from California, I am about to get in the shower and I have my period because I always

have my period. I have my periods and I got my IUD eight months ago, just never really went away. And sorry, again, TMI, I took a tampon out and my IUD basically came with it. So my ID just kind of just my body was like, um, we don't want this inside of ourselves anymore. So we're just going to expel it eight months after we're after it's been in here eight months. I literally was in the bathroom, shower full on fogging up the mirrors, like staring at this thing in my hand, like staring at it, like looking at it, like,

what? What? Where do you put it? You can't put it back in. Can't put it back. What the fuck? Can't put it back. It doesn't feel like you can just like throw it out.

No. That feels crazy. I was just looking at it in shock. When it came out, I was like, this is must be kind of a tampon, right? Is this part of a tampon? No, it's a whole separate device. It was like not computing.

It was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And so I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. And so then I Google it. And of course all the headlines are like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. And so then I Google it. And of course all the headlines are like, rage bait, like panic bait stuff, where it's like. Right, you're dying. Yeah, exactly. Like seek emergency medical attention, all this stuff.

No, no, no. And I. All they do when you get it removed at the doctor is they just pull it out. I think the main reason they say that. That's why there's strings attached. If it's like only part of it comes out or something like that.

This is full of it. Sure. If it's like, yeah, broken off inside your body, that would be really bad. Right, right, right. Or if you were like feeling a lot of pain or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think if it pops clean out, it's like, well. It just pops right out.

There was no thinking about it. And anyway, so then I was like really panicking. Like I was in really panicking. Like I was in the bathroom just like full like panic attack kind of like my heart was beating so fast because you're also gonna about to travel the next day. And I just wasn't sure what like the effects of this happening were gonna be.

So then I had, I texted you guys, texted him immediately from the downstairs. I like in all caps texted him like my fucking IUD just fell out. What the fuck do I do? Fuck, fuck, fuck. Come up here. And so then, you know, I had a telehealth appointment with an OBGYN, got an actual OBGYN.

We thank God for that. And she was so funny. She was like, it's just a relief for you, honey. This is just going to be a relief for you now. Because I was telling her I had my period forever. And she was like, this is good. It's just a good thing. It's a good thing.

Honestly, that's what I thought too. I was like, your body was like, we don't like this, so it's done now. And so that made me feel a lot better. But I was also still worried about, because there's something called, they call it the Morena crash, which doesn't happen to every woman.

But when you get an IUD idea, removing the hormones can like cause some side effects to your body. So I was worried about that happening the next day when I was traveling. Honestly, I well, yeah, I mean, my I'm like at the very, very, very tail end of my effectiveness of my I.U.D. And I'm starting to feel like I'm like, is it just going to? I think that it's not working anymore. Is it? Yeah, I think it's the opposite of a crash.

I think I'm on a, it's waning. I'm like, uh oh. It's waning. I don't know how these things work, but you would think that they would have you take it out like significantly before it really stops working. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, you would think, I've been doing a lot of Googling

and everything I'm saying is like, no, it's like up to eight years, up to eight years, up to eight years. And I'm like, okay, so what about when you hit the eight year mark, are we, it's stone cold done? Like how do we know? When do we know?

How do we know? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But anyway, so I don't think I've really had like such bad side effects, although the past couple of days I've been feeling really tired. And then I did have my period for 24 hours, which was amazing. And then I got my period, like the most period I've ever had in my life, like the most intense period. And so I think that I just also I've started taking iron supplements because I'm like, for 24 hours, which was amazing. maybe I'll be back. I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do. Um, anyway, so then the other thing really fast, because I'm taking up so much time.

Then the next day we traveled back the same day that New York City experienced a bunch of flash floods. At first we thought our flight was just delayed like three hours. Then it was only delayed an hour and a half. Then they had to take a different flight path to avoid the thunderstorm. So it was like a six and a half hour flight instead of a four and a half hour flight. Then 30 minutes before we were supposed to land, they were like, Newark airport isn't letting any flights land right now. They've grounded all the flights. So they told us we need to circle. Scary airports we're flying into right now.

Don't love, don't. Exactly, exactly. Not to throw them under the bus, but I did not put these tickets. No, it's not their fault. It's not their fault. It was my father-in-law's fault for booking these tickets. Yeah, that's what we blame.

So then we had to circle, but then we ran out of fuel. And so then we landed in Norfolk, Virginia. And then we were in Norfolk, Virginia at like a seemingly empty airport, by the way. Has anyone ever gone to the Norfolk, Virginia airport? I am picturing station 11 that you guys are just like outside on the star back and it's like... It was so weird because we landed, I was looking out the windows and I was like, okay, this is going to be fast because there's literally no one else here. Like who else is here?

Well, it wasn't fast because there was no one else there. So they had to like literally bring in people to like do the fuel. They'd stuff with the bathrooms they had to fix. Anyway, so we were there for three hours. Then we had to take a long flight path to Newark. So it was another hour and a half in the air. Then when we landed, our gate wasn't available. So then we sat on the tarmac for another hour. And they ran out of food when we got in the air

in the beginning of the flight. There was no food the entire time except snacks, like snacks of banana chips and goldfish. And like that was it. And May and Silas did really well. They did really well. We were on that flight for probably 11 hours and we were only supposed to be on it for like five hours.

And they- Brutal. It's a fucking nightmare. Honestly, once the plane touched down in Norfolk, Virginia, I think we all just looked at each other and we were like, okay. And I think Silas and they were like, I think we just live on this plane now

with our mom and dad and like, we're okay, we'll just live here. And that's just our life now. Yeah, I mean, that's where it's nice that children don't really have a concept of time. Like they're like... Like this is it. We are on this plane to you, tell us we get off.

Like that was never, that's the same if it's, we're here for 30 minutes or fucking 12 hours. Like what do we know? Yeah. Give us some goldfish and we're good. Yeah. May watched some of the Liza Minnelli documentary, which was really fun.

Children are loving it. And then Silas watched so many episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, because that was like one of the only things that was working on the TV. And I don't know, we just all went a little insane. And then we eventually got home. How many hours on that travel day?

Let's see, we got home at like 3.30 in the morning. So that was 12.30. And we left the house at like 6.45 a.m. So it house at like 645 a.m. So it's like 645 a.m. till 1230. That's like 18 hours. 18 hours. Of what should have been like a eight, eight hour experience. There's a really particular type of insane that I feel as someone who loves snacks,

when you can only eat snacks, it like makes me feel like I'm immediately like, this is wrong. Like your body is just like vaporizing it the second it goes, it just like poofs into nothingness. It makes you more hungry. Yeah, yeah. I don't even know what I ate that day

because I was giving all my food to Salus and May. I was so amped up, I like couldn't go to sleep when we got home because I was like like so like the adrenaline was so high. I was really like feeling super amped and they had yeah we had to wait for our luggage for forever and Silas found a play area. I have these pictures of Silas playing in like a playground in the New York airport at like 1 a.m. Like it was just a weird day, really weird day.

Wow, what a freaking week. Anyway, I'm fine. I cooked salmon. And there were scales. I mean, it is a little scary. It's a little spooky. Do you nature up close and personal like that? My God. It really looked like a fish. Anyways, Amy, little spooky. It's a little scary. Seeing nature up close and personal like that? My God.

It really looked like a fish. Anyways, Amy, what did you do? Mine is short. I am, excuse me, moving in with my boyfriend, Duncan. Oh, ever heard of him? Never heard of him. Ever heard of him? Huge news.

Some call him Owen. His name is Duncan. Yes. Henley's father-in-law who booked the plane tickets also calls him Owen. Yeah, he kept calling him Owen, but he was saying so many complimentary things about him. He loved meeting him and wanted to keep talking about him. He just kept calling him Owen. And we were like, who are you talking about?

So, yeah, surprise. We've been dating for a year and now we're moving in together. So that's a little scary, but you guys already know this, We've been dating for a year and now we're moving in together. So that's a little scary, but you guys already know this, but just wanted to tell our listeners that our new house has a basement and an attic. So kind of the two scariest rooms possible. Really scary. We're sealing those bad boys up though.

No one's going in or out. Okay. We're sealing those bad boys up though. No one's going in or out. Okay, but I do something that is both scarier and less scary to me about your basement is it's a two person job to get in there. Like you can't go, you cannot go in there alone because you can't get the door open. Yeah. So it means, but yeah, but that's the scary thing is that if you somehow found yourself in there, you'd be trapped. You might be trapped.

Depends how strong you are. Why would they make a basement like that? To trap women or anyone with weak upper bodies, which is women. You just got to get really, really strong. Just got to get really strong, Sammy. Yeah, I got it. For your new house. Absolutely jacked.

You just gotta get really strong, Sammy. Yeah, I got it. For your new house. Absolutely jacked. Duncan does travel a lot for work, and so there will be extended periods of time where I'm here by myself, and long-time listeners of the pod will remember when I lived alone in Washington,

in Bellingham for a couple months. That was some of the most scared I've ever been in my whole life, watching paranormal activity too in a huge house by myself. Big houses are scary. I don't know. The big houses are so scary. I'm not gonna be used to the noises for a while.

And moving into a new place, it's freaky. Oh, I will say one other scary thing that happened is when I brought the cats over, immediately Mac found, he hid under the sink Oh, I will say one other scary thing that happened is when I brought the cats over immediately, Mack found he hid under the sink and we're like, that's fine. He'll like, feel safe for under there. That's fine. He can stay under there. Eventually go in to like check on him. Where did he go? We look in a little further and see that there is a very small hole under the sink that goes

to the space behind the dishwasher. That's like impossible for us to reach into to get him out of. Plus he's like so far back there. I can't even, can't even touch him. So that made me panic for a little bit, but then I kind of came to the realization of like, okay, he got in there, he can come out. Yeah, he will, he will come out of there eventually because he can't, he won't let, he can come out. Yeah, he will come out of there eventually because he can't. Is he still in there? He won't let himself just waste away behind the dishwasher.

Yeah, so he did eventually come out. It took about three hours, but he's out now. He's much braver and he's been exploring. But yeah, having cats in a new place, I'm like, when I can't find them, I'm like, where are they? I like don't know where their places are yet. And so that's a little scary too. It's a big adventure for all of you. It's a big adventure for us all. So moving is also just a fucking nightmare. You always think it's going to be not that big of a deal or

like even you're like, yeah, it's going to suck, but we're going to get through it. It's all that is true, but it's's also so much worse than you ever anticipate. Oh my God, it sucks so bad. It sucks so bad. It's like the moving part sucks, but then you also have to make it into a home. Once you get everything in there, you're like, oh, right, I still have so much I have to do. Unpacking is such a nightmare.

We have so much of that to do. But then it'll be great. But then it'll be great in, you know, weeks or months from now. In weeks or months at some point in the future, it'll be great. Yeah.

Anywho, let's talk about this week's movie, which is I know what you did last summer. Remake? Reboot? Reboot? It's not a remake. It is in the same universe as the first film, meaning like it acknowledges the events of the first film.

Yeah. So I think it's just, I think it's a sequel. Along the same timeline. Yes, or a reboot. Hard to say. It's like what Scream did, which is funny because I feel like that's kind of the, I know what you did last summer. MO.

Vibe in general is just like, what's Scream up to? Yeah, we're going to do that. Was directed by Jennifer Caton Robinson, written by Jennifer Caton Robinson and Sam Lansky, story by Jennifer Caton Robinson and Leah McKendrick based on characters by Lois Duncan, starring Chase Wee Wonders, Madeline Klein, Jonah Howard King, Tyreek Withers, Sarah Pigeon with Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Geller. Wow. Didn't she die? She did.

Okay. Apparently part of the trivia was that Jennifer Kate and Robinson, because she directed Do Revenge also, which Sarah Michelle Geller is in. So they're like good friends. So she kept being like, how do we get her name in the original is Helen Shivers. It's like, how do we get Helen Shivers back?

Like, like maybe you didn't die. And Sarah Michelle Geller was apparently like, I was so very much dead. My body was on ice. I was frozen and killed. Definitely dead. There's just simply no way I could have survived. But she found a way and-

Incredible. Okay. We'll get to that, of course. I mean soap operas do it all the time. Yeah. Yeah. Or like, oh my God, guess what? You have a twin. Oh my God operas do it all the time. You know like. Yeah or like oh my God guess what you have a twin. Like oh my God.

Yeah that would be fun. This movie has a 37% honor on Tomatoes. Oh. 43 on Metacritic and a 5.7 on IMDB. I honestly, I had a good time. I thought it was fun. I was gonna say I feel like I've seen like pretty mixed things I know some people who really enjoyed it.

I had a really good time but I did go in with really low expectations. I rewatched the original before this. It's also like a bad movie. Sorry if that's like- I was gonna say, the original's not rated super highly. No, they're all below 50%. It's just nostalgia. I still know what you did last summer

is I think in the single digits on Round Tomato. It's knockoff Scream. Like that's what it is. And Scream is good. And so it's, yeah, it's, I was a little surprised rewatching the original because part of my brain was like, yeah, I know what you did last summer.

And Scream, the two like key teen slashers of the 90s. But like Scream is one of the best horror movies ever made. And I know what you did last summer is just not. It's not even close. Okay, now, all right. I'm here to defend I Know What You Did Last Summer because it's perfect for the vibes. It's just... It's the vibes!

The cast is perfect. Is it where Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar met? Is that where? I think so, but I'm not positive. Because if that's the case, Then it was all worth it. It was all worth it. It was all worth it.

It was the beginning of one of Hollywood's greatest love stories. Yeah. Truly. And you can feel that when you watch the film. I'm not saying that, I'm not shitting on it. I'm just saying it's like, it is what it is. And they're fun and they're stupid. And like kind of the plot is kind of weird.

I think the original, I know what you did last summer, like whole reveal concept is like really weird and not satisfying at all. Like most, it's supposed to be like a whodunit and it's like someone you know and like. I don't even remember who it is. I didn't remember either. It's like a guy with a hook.

It's just the guy that they thought that they killed in the opening scene. Right. He survived. And so it's like, oh. Okay. And it's some guy that like, when you see him, it's like, we've never seen this man before.

And so it just feels like really anticlimactic and unsatisfying. I've never seen, I still know what you did last summer, but apparently he comes back and it's the same killer, but he's a ghost. Okay, so anything goes. It's also so funny to be like, oh my god, I got hit by a car, I almost died and my celebration of my new lease on life is I'm gonna hunt down teams. Yeah, it's just silly.

It's just silly. It's just silly. I just googled, I know what you did last summer and all the top headlines are are Jennifer Love Hewitt's not talked to Sarah Michelle Gellar since 1997. I did want to talk about that because all of her quotes about it, she was like asked about it, are like, there's nothing, there's no beef between us. Like we just don't talk. Like I don't know why. We're just people who worked together once in the 90s.

Yeah. Do you talk to everybody you worked on a like two month job with one time? I think we just associate. Everyone's just like obsessed with the fact that they don't speak. They are again, both in this movie, but they did not speak.

There's a huge difference between we haven't talked and we don't speak. It's like choosing those words is also very, oh, we just, yeah, we just didn't, we didn't click. We're not best friends. We're coworkers from a thing in the past versus like, they don't speak to each other. It's just crazy that I Googled just the movie name and all the news headlines that pop up literally three, Jennifer Love Hewitt has not spoken to Sarah Michelle Geller since she was 18. Jennifer Love Hewitt's not talked to Sarah Michelle. It's like,

I didn't even Google either of those two names. I didn't Google any of this. This is this like immediately what you're feeding me. We need women to dislike each other. That's what Jennifer Love Hewitt's statement is. She's just like, this is a thing that happens with women where you just like really want to put some drama where... We're not asking if they've talked to Freddie Prinze. Right.

You know? What? What? That's just so weird. Yeah, it's weird, man. But you know what? Again, I've said it once, I'll say it a million times, guys, it would be so easy for us to publicly feud. I mean, we're taking nothing at all. Nothing at all.

Well, this could be us in the headlines. This could be us. People would be just as interested. Did you notice how far Sammy and I were sitting from each other in the Headgum Studios for the Paul F. Tompkins? I mean, it is true. If we were like very famous, which, you know,

we obviously are, we are, but like, it is so funny how quickly someone could see a photo of like how far the mics were apart on the couch and be like, they weren't even looking at each other. And did you notice, did you notice it happen at Comic Con too? Trouble in paradise. They like actually don't want to even looking at each other. They weren't even looking at each other. And did you notice, did you notice it happened at Comic Con too? Trouble in paradise. They like actually don't want to sit next to each other ever.

Emily had to sit on the other couch. After we go viral for being really hot, we're gonna go viral for a public feud, yeah. That's the game plan. Because if there's one thing the internet loves even more than women feuding, it's hot women feuding. I know. That's right.

The budget of this movie was $18 million. So far at the time of this recording, it has made $24.6 million, but we're just recording it at the end of opening weekend. So I think when this comes out a little bit higher. Yeah. Yeah, not like, not insane, but I think enough. You could do enough. To nothing to scoff at. No.

And some trivia for us is just that Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn't like horror movies. These are the only horror movies she's ever done because she does not like them and she's scared of them. Fair enough. Okay. I thought that was interesting for our purposes. Yeah. And then I guess originally Mike Flanagan

was set to do this reboot. Oh, that would have been good. That would have been cool. There would have been a lot of monologues. Mm-hmm. But it's like a good one for monologues, I think. A good movie for monologues. I would be really interested to see that version. I think this was like a perfectly exactly

what I wanted version of this as well, where it's just kind of like silly, self-aware, modernized but still with like a lot of references and, you know, nostalgia for the original. But yeah, Mike Flanagan, I feel like, I'm really curious what direction he would have got. Cause he's not really like silly, goofy director guy. Silly, goofy director guy. He's pretty serious.

And so, I'm- Would have been interesting. Interested what that would have been. Okay, and that is all the trivia I have for us. I did just Google it and this is where Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Guttler met, but they were friends for several years before they started dating, which we love to see.

Yeah. I really do just love them. They really seem happy together and it's really nice. I mean, they stand the test of time. No one does that in Hollywood. No one does that. They did the Scooby-Doo movies together. They've really been through it all.

They've done everything. They've done everything together. They've done everything together. I really do love them. Let's take a look at this trailer. Yay, I want to. I want to. This time I want to. Usually I don't love them. Let's take a look at this trailer. Yay, I want to. I want to. This time I want to.

Usually I don't want to. Baby, you okay? Why don't you go upstairs and do that guided meditation you like. Thank you. Find a peaceful setting and close your eyes. Imagine a white light calling you. Hello?

Now feel that love entering your body and emanating out from your chest. Take a deep breath in and remember the energy you give to the universe always comes back to you. No, wait. No!

Do you think this is some kind of carnivore we did? What if someone saw what happened? You need to handle this. This isn't the first time there's been violence like this in South Florida. It's not going to stop. I need to start drinking. Someone is coming after us. I need your help.

I just have one question. What did you do last summer? This place is so beautiful. It makes me want to die. Look's fun to me. It's fun. I feel like I, I don't know why. I mean it is, it's a stupid prep. It's a stupid premise. There's tons of potholes,

but there are in the original as well. I think the characters are really likable. There was a lot of little funny parts. Madeline Klein, is she also in Glass Onion? Yes, she was in the one with Kate Hudson. Yeah. Oh, that's that one. She's great.

I thought she was so likeable in this. And as we say, she's got it. She's got it. She has it. She's got it. And... I really like Chase Sweet Wonders as well. Yeah.

It just like gave me, it was everything you want out of a teen slasher. It's just... A red bath bomb is so funny. I know that, but that did get a lot of laughs in the theater. It's so funny. It would be, it was so silly, but I really, that's a really funny thing. Yeah, I'm using the guided meditation. And also, Freddie Prinze Jr. looks great.

I mean, he's looking, and so does Jennifer Love Hewitt. They both look amazing. It's just also the concept that like, they would need to turn to them as experts in this situation. It's one of my favorite, favorite tropes in a movie like that, like they did it in Scream 2. It's so, they do it in Final Destination

where they're like, I need to talk to somebody who's been through this before. It's like, well, this is different now. Like, you're just bringing up trauma for these people. But I love it. Yeah, whatever. I'm letting all that go. The only way to survive a murderer

is to talk to somebody who survived another murderer. A different murderer in a different, completely different situation. Completely separate thing decades ago. Whatever worked for them will work for me. Oh my God. Oh, it's so silly. I love it.

But it's very fun. And let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. We begin with the shots, shots of a beautiful coastline. We are in Southport, North Carolina, but this, this, this coastline I'm fairly certain is Australia. It was a lot of it was shot in Australia.

I was going to ask where did they actually shoot it? I kept, I kept, well, you can, you know, Australia and North Carolina are so similar. So similar. We meet our protagonist, Ava. This is Chase Sweet Wonders. And she is coming home from college for the summer to Southport. And she's going to her high school best friend's engagement party. She's trying on different outfits. She seems a little nervous. She's gonna be, you know, seeing her high school sweetheart for the first time in a year since they broke up.

And she's like talking to herself being like, who cares what he thinks? Like, it doesn't matter. So clearly she's like trying to impress him too, or like look good. So she heads to this engagement party. And it's the most lavish engagement party I've ever seen. This is clearly extremely wealthy people. It's on like a compound mansion. There's hundreds of people there catered on the waterfront. And we find out,

so Ava's best friend is Danica. This is the bride-to-be played by Madeline Klein. And she is engaged to Teddy, who is the son of the owners of this property. They're like real estate tycoons. And he's played by Tyreek Withers, who's also gonna be in him later this year. This is the Jordan Peele produced, like football horror movie thing that I'm really excited for.

So yes, we see Teddy's mom and dad giving a toast. Sorry, find out that he's very influential real estate developer in Southport. Danica is kind of encouraging Ava to maybe hook up with Milo tonight like old times. Clearly the four of them were always together in high school, Danica, Teddy, Ava, and Milo. And so- Four normal American names. Danica, Teddy, Ava, and Milo. And so Danica is like, come on, just like old times after the engagement party ends, the four of them stay and catch up a little longer. They smoke a little weed. It's 4th of July, by the way. I can't remember. Is it 4th of July in the original? I think it might be, but seems like. Yeah, I think it is.

That would make sense, but I couldn't remember. So they say, you know, for old time's sake, let's drive up to the lookout spot where we have the best view of the fireworks and as they're getting into the car to drive up there they spot one of their old high school friends name stevie. Girl that they're kind of whispering about before they. Approach her and they're like stevie shit haven seen, haven't talked to her in a long time. Like, didn't she go to rehab after her dad stole all their money and left? And so like Stevie's been through some trauma and it sounds like they had a falling out

and haven't really been great friends to her, obviously. And so they're feeling guilty. Meanwhile, we're hearing Stevie having a similar conversation with her friend that she's working with, co-worker. She's being like, oh yeah, I used to be friends with them, but I haven't seen them in a long time. Ava is like, we should invite Stevie. And we all used to be so close. And so we should just be nice and invite her. So Ava and Milo walk up to Stevie, who is, she's loading like empty crates. She works for the company that was providing the alcohol

for the event, which to me, I was like, she was just in rehab. Like why is she working for Also, she's 20 years old. Wait, so they were coming home from their freshman year of college. Is that what you said? I, but then one of them is engaged. Some people, yeah, they'll know. I engage really young. Sure. Yeah, I know. I've heard, I've heard of it. I'm just clarifying. Like, is she still in college and getting married? I mean, sure, why not?

I don't actually know what year in college they are, but yeah, they're in college. That much is true. All right. So they go to invite Stevie. Stevie seems reluctant, but her coworker is kind of nudging her like, you should go.

I can handle the rest of the cleanup. You know, we'll go have some fun. So Stevie. It's not gonna be fun, Stevie. Stevie decides, all right. She's gonna go. So they get in the car, Danica is driving, she's sober. And they of course are going along very windy,

cliffside roads. And at one point Teddy screams, look out as like a funny, hilarious prank. And I love it when people do that when you're driving. So Danica slams on the brakes, it's a fake out. And he's like, ah ha, just testing your reflexes. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Even if like I'm driving and Tim like is looking And he's like, ah-ha, just testing your reflexes. Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha. Even if I'm driving and Tim is looking at his phone

and sees something, goes like, like about a news story or anything, I feel like my heart goes into my throat and I get so mad. I get like illogically mad. And it's a big pet peeve. I hate that, hate that. Yeah, I mean, and certainly you shouldn't be doing this. This is worse.

So Teddy's being pretty obnoxious. He's drunk and stoned and Danica's like, oh, he gets so annoying when he smokes weed. They pull off at the lookout, which is not a lookout. It's nowhere, there's no like side of the road. They're basically just stopped in the middle of this road on a blind curve, extremely dangerous. Like the actual opposite of a lookout. Yeah.

Unless it's like a lookout. Look out if you're here. Look out. This is actually just lookout. Yeah. That's what they meant when they said this was the lookout. This is lookout. Look out.

That's a really genius observation. You can see here, if you're watching the video episode where they pull over to the side of the road, there's no turnoff. There's no even shoulder. Yeah, they're still just in the lane. They're in the road and it's dark. And it's people just curved around.

And like a rock cliff next to them. Yes, exactly. Really, really dangerous. Teddy is standing in the middle of the road watching the fire. It is a good view of the fireworks. I'll give them that, but it's also just, climb up this hill, climb up this hill right here. There's just no parking.

It's so unsafe. So they see some headlights approaching a car is coming. Teddy's in the middle of the road. They're yelling at Teddy to get out of the road. He's drunk and high and laughing and he's like, I'll fight him. And he's like, I'll like man versus car. Like he's gonna stop.

He has to stop. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. And the car is not stopping coming full speed at him. And at the last second, Milo like dives and knocks Teddy out of the way. They both dodge the car. The car doesn't stop at all. It absolutely would have killed Teddy. Teddy's laughing and laughing. Oh my God. So silly what I just did. To be young.

Everyone else is extremely pissed, obviously, and screaming at Teddy, like, what the fuck is wrong with you? And in their fight, now they're kind of all standing in the middle of the road because there's nowhere else to stand because there's no shoulder. Because they're in the road and they were stopped in the road. That's where they are. And another car because they're all distracted, yelling, fighting, they don't notice another car coming. And that car swerves to avoid hitting them and crashes through the guard rail and is like dangling off the edge of the cliff now. Oops.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha They're trying they after like a moment of shock they're like, okay, we got to get them out of there. The car is locked. The guy's seemingly unconscious. So they're trying to break the window, but Teddy's yelling at everyone like hold the back of the car so it doesn't fall, which is like, what do you mean hold the car so it doesn't fall? But they are trying. They're, you know, I guess trying to put some weight on it to try to whatever. Not going to work long term, but I guess maybe buys them a couple seconds, minutes. He is unable to get into the car to get the guy out. The guy kind of like comes to at the last moment, I think like punches through the glass like

he's trying to get out or I don't know why. But that motion I think knocks the truck off balance and tips it over the edge and it crashes at the bottom of a cliff with the man still inside. And the man got a good look at everyone who was around him, right? He made a good eye contact. Yeah, you gotta believe it. And he thought, if I make it out of this.

If I make it out of this, the first thing you do. The havoc I will wreak on this group of children. I will get them. I will use all the fishing tools I can find and I will get these jeans. So now we're panicking, obviously. Most of us are saying we have to call the police. Some of us are not.

Some of us are saying, let's think about this. Let's take a minute, take a breath. But to their credit, eventually they all arrive at, okay, yes, we need to call the police. Teddy goes off screen to call the police. We're like, do we trust Teddy that he's calling the police? He comes back and he's like, okay, cops are on their way. We should go. Ava is, of course, confused.

Don't we need to stay? Shouldn't we? Don't we have to give a statement? Shouldn't we try to get down there? The guy was still alive. This might be like, he might still be alive. We could try to pull him out. We're all freaked out, not thinking straight. Teddy is eventually able to convince them. They want us to come to the police station. We're going to give our statements there. It's not safe for us to stay here.

I don't know. I can't. Is Teddy about to kill all of them? I mean, it's not safe for us to be standing in the road as evidenced by everything that's happened since we got into the middle of the road. Yeah, so now he's come to that conclusion. Okay.

And so, oh, Stevie also at some point is like, we have to, I think we should go like, I am, I don't know if she's still on probation or something, but there's like some things she's really stressed about too, where she's like, I can't like have another thing with the cops, please, can we go? So they decide, okay, let's go. And they all get back into the car and Teddy, I think Teddy's driving. No, maybe Danica is still driving, but they turn into Teddy's house and not the police station. Questions are asked. I thought we were going to the police station. Teddy says, they do pass police cars coming up as they're with sirens on. So he's like, see, police are there. And he reveals that he had just called his dad, who's very powerful

man. He says, like, my dad is going to make this all go away. Like it's the it's like a really dangerous curve. People crash there all the time. My dad is gonna, the cops are there, they're like, the guy is probably dead. And it's just gonna fuck up all of our lives and not change anything if we like are put at the scene of the crime or something and is able to convince them. He's like, none of us can ever tell anybody. And Ava is the one that we can is like really, really struggling. Ava? Ava, none of us can tell anybody. It is, I mean, we see this happen over and over again in movies, but this one in particular

is just a wild choice just because like they really didn't do anything wrong. I mean, they were in the road, they should have been in the road, but it's not like they, like they could, it's not going to, it wouldn't ruin their lives for them to be implicated in this. Not anymore so than knowing that they were responsible. Right, and not taking responsibility. That's the part that's going to ruin their lives. Right, right.

But I do feel like the stupidity of teens is really important to these franchises. Yeah, I know. Teens are this dumb, they are. Yeah, fair. Yeah, and they all have like a personal... Something to lose. Something to lose. And Ava is the only one that you can really see is like really struggling

with it, but she's outnumbered and feels an obligation to her friends, I guess, but kind of like angrily storms off. She's like, fine, I'm not going to tell anybody. Cut to one year later. You see Ava hooking up with an extremely hot girl in an airport bathroom. There's like people with like suitcases rolling in. She, they like hook up and then they go out of the stall and are cleaning themselves up at the mirror. And then Ava's like, it was nice meeting you. And she gets on the phone with Milo. Milo's going to be picking her up from the airport. And she's like, how long of a drive is it back south? I can't remember. So she says something about Southport. And the girl that she was hooking up with hears and is like, oh, are you going to Southport? Can I get a ride with you?

And she says, okay. So Milo picks them both up. This girl's name is Tyler and she is a podcaster. Oh no. So she's gonna be the hero. We can only assume. Or she's gonna be the hero? We can only assume. Or she's the first one. The hero of the movie.

The first one killed. And it's why she's extremely hot. It's why she's extremely hot. It's why. Because she's a podcaster. It's why. So she has a true crime podcast called Live, Laugh, Slaughter. Uh oh.

And she is. She is gonna get to the bottom of this case, you guys. Yeah, she is in Southport covering the massacre of 1997, which is of course the original film. Right. And they drop her off wherever she's going and you know, bye bye for now, Tyler. See ya.

We arrive, it's... The audience is screaming desperate to see her again because they love her so much. Bring her back. Well, I thought this was a movie about a podcaster. That's what everybody's screaming. Ava and Milo are going to Danica's bridal shower, which we're a little like one year later, a bridal shower.

Really interesting timing out of these things shower, which were a little like one year later, a bridal shower, really interesting timing out of these things until we see her fiance come in and it is not Teddy. She is engaged to somebody else now. This is Wyatt. I thought this was a very funny reveal. It is funny. It really got me. So we're doing it again. This girl loves to have pre-wedding celebrations. Yes, and this one is quite lavish as well, but Teddy was the very rich one. So this one's like, not quite as crazy as that one.

Regular rich. They gather around, everyone's sitting in chairs and like around the presence we're going to open the gifts. Danica opens Stevie's gift. We see that her and Stevie have gotten really close and Ava feels kind of weird about this. She's like happy that they've had that support but it's clear that Ava has not really been keeping in touch with them because there's obviously a lot of- Traumatized. Yeah, we're all traumatized here. And so Ava's kind of watching there.

Stevie's like kind of the best friend now, it seems. And then Danica finds just an unmarked envelope and says, oh, I'll open this one next. And of course it is the card itself is still like a bridal shower card, which I think is funny. It's like a floral print card, but then she opens it and it says, I know what you did last summer. Wow. So in this universe, they're all like, everyone's fully aware of the 1997 massacre. Like it's like all the facts are out in the open or is that why do we think the podcasters there to like uncover to people not know? People know about it and there is reference to Teddy's dad and the police and like local politicians like trying to downplay it because it's been bad for tourism. So they've tried to kind of make it as...

Not a big deal. Yeah. It was no big deal. It was no big deal. And you can still come here and spend money here. No one will get murdered. Yeah. Okay. Danica is obviously really freaked out by this.

She takes a moment, steps to the side, calls over Milo and Ava and Stevie, shows them the card and says like, this is obviously Teddy, right? Like he's like, he's so mad at me. He's gone completely off the rails this past year. I know you did last summer, you were engaged to me and now you're engaged to somebody else.

Right. That does seem reasonable. Yes. And so Ava, Milo and Stevie go to confront Teddy and find out if it was him. Teddy is living on his family's yacht on the dock in front of his family's home. Funny.

The yacht is covered in empty beer bottles. Clearly, he's not doing great. They show him the note and say someone gave this to Danica at her bridal shower. And he seems like really genuinely perplexed by it and is like, is this a joke? Like, what, what is this? Are you guys fucking with me? And it's pretty convincing. We're like, okay, he seems like genuinely and he's like, I don't want anything to do with this. Danica broke my heart. Like, please just leave me alone. And like kicks them out. I mean, if he's not involved,

it is pretty shitty of them to come over and bring that to him. Yeah, so he kicks them out. We cut back to that night, Danica and Wyatt at their house, cleaning up after the bridal shower. Danica hears something outside. Of course, it's floor to ceiling windows, not a curtain in sight. It's dark outside, so she can't see anything. But anyone outside could see her perfectly clear. She's pretty jittery.

Wyatt comes down, sees that she's upset about something and it's like, what's going on? She's like, I don't know. And he's like, I know it's wedding jitters, isn't it? You're obviously just like, it's about me. And he says, why don't you go upstairs, take a bath, do that meditation you like." And so she does exactly that. And like we saw in the trailer, throws in a red bath bomb. Very funny. Very funny. And puts on big noise canceling headphones to do her meditation in the bath.

Wyatt downstairs also hears something and then the pool lights turn on outside. He's walking towards the big windows, can't see anything, calls out hello. The lights turn off and he's kind of like, all right, I guess nothing to worry about. That was just a weird little thing. Turns back to walk towards the kitchen when he is shot through the shoulder

by a fucking harpoon gun. Oh my God, yikes. Which was like pretty, I was pretty stoked to see this. Like that's a fun idea for someone who's in like a, in a fisherman franchise. I can't remember if there was harpoon in the other ones, but it's like, if we've got like fishing hooks, harpoon gut just makes sense to also. We have other means of spearing.

It's also tough because I mean, that was the trailer, which also the trailer does not just show anywhere. Now I'm starting to think about like Silas just stumbling upon a trailer like that. And it's like, that was a pretty, it's like a pretty thorough kill in a trailer. You know what I mean? I don't think they would play it in front of a children's movie, but. Yeah.

No, they, cause what's this movie rated PG-13 or R? It's probably PG-13, yeah. Oh. Actually, I'm not sure. Yeah, they might play it on TV. They might play it on TV. If you were watching. I feel like, I mean, certainly I think they were playing

scary movie trailers on TV when I was a kid. I don't know how graphic they were. It is rated R. So it would likely only be rated. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, the other thing about that is that then they don't also he doesn't die right away, which is also always worse. I would say a lot of the deaths in this are like pretty gnarly. And yes, this one, he is pulled back by the harpoon. And so he's like fighting against it. And you see the like little notches in it,

like hooked into him. And then eventually it does like pull back all the way through and he collapses and he's trying to crawl away when the harpoon gun shoots again, this time through the stomach and he's being pulled towards the killer and we see the big black rain boots

and fisherman slicker, they call it that a lot. That's fun. The slicker, I guess that's what it's called, but. You guess that's what it's called, but it's silly. I would have called it a raincoat, but he's wearing rain boots, fishing boots, and fisherman's slicker. Fisherman boots and a fisherman's slicker.

And you obviously can't see the fisherman's face. He's got like a hood on it, shadow. Slicker hood. Slicker hood. And Wyatt is begging for his life. He says, please, you can have the code to my crypto wallet. There's a lot of little like jokes like that in it that are a little annoying, but like some of them hit

and some of them are like, okay. And then the fisherman pulls out that iconic hook. And we just see it slash across. This is all intercut, by the way, with Danica just like peacefully in the bathtub, like breathing in and out and reaching like such a such a level of Zen. And we see why it is killed. She gets out of the bathtub. She's like, Oh my God, Wyatt, I feel so much better. She's walking downstairs, calling out to him. He's not responding.

She starts to get a little worried. And then as she gets to the bottom of the stairs in the living room, finds his body propped up by the harpoon, like through his chin. So he's like propped upright and written in his blood on the mirror in the living room is you can't erase the past. So long message to write in blood.

I know, how long did that take him? This was a long bath, I guess. Yeah. You think that like the killer here, sir, like the top turning officer. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh killer here, sir, like the top turning off is like, shh, shh, shh, shh, oh, oh, oh, oh, pop, pop, pop, pop, put a thrusting, uh, sort of, uh, uh, uh,

it's just like really, really watching to get the note out. You have, start writing, get more blood, keep going. This is, I remember this from the first one. He, similarly, like they were always running, screaming, running for their lives. And no matter what, Michael Myers style, just walking in those fisherman boots. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Slow and steady, baby. Slow and steady. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. That's his mantra. So now we see after this, the five, group of five that were involved in the accident, getting together. Danica is obviously not doing well.

Not doing great. No. They're freaking out, someone must have seen us, this is what is going on. There's mention of the guy who died. So we do know the person in the crash died. His name was Sam Cooper. So this is where they first mentioned him. And they're like, but we tried to His name was Sam Cooper. This is where they first mentioned him. They're

like, but we tried to find if Sam Cooper had any relatives or friends. We couldn't find anything. Then they're like, maybe Teddy's dad told someone. Could that have been something? Then Milo says, what about your weird friend, the podcast girl? She's doing a podcast on someone who got a note that said, I know what you did last summer. And there was a fish hook involved in that one as well. Like that's pretty weird that she's here in the same time that we're going through the same thing. So we're throwing some suspects out there, some leads to maybe follow up with. They're debating. They say, I don't think it's the podcast girl,

but she might like be worth talking to because- You don't know what we're capable of. You don't know what we're capable of. Could be anything. Could be anything. Don't underestimate podcasters. Pots and pans. Don't villainize them. So Ava decides she's to go talk to Tyler alone. And Tyler had offered her to

like give her a tour of the where the deaths had happened and like fill her in on the massacre of 97 because she knows a lot about it. So Ava goes and is like, Hey, can you actually, yeah, like I'm curious to know more about what happened here. And Tyler is taking her on this tour and she's like, Hey, we're going into this building, which is, it was the clothing store where Helen Shivers and her sister, Elsa Shivers, I believe were murdered. And so. It's one of the crime scenes. It's not that story anymore, obviously, but it's kind of a warehouse empty thing now. There are still creepy mannequins covered in plastic sheeting that were in the first movie. Tyler's showing her all this, like, isn't it so spooky? And she says, she's like, I'm

going to go upstairs and see if I can find something. There's something I want to show you. And Ava's getting a little creeped out by how into all of this Tyler is. And she's like, okay. So she texts the group chat, which I think is called, I can't remember. I can't remember what it's called. We did it last summer. It was us. It's something really funny like that. Guilty as charged.

The ones the guy knows about. It's like, don't say anything to anyone. Group chat. Big group with a big, big secret. Big group with a big, big secret. That's just been off of Big Little Lies. Big group with a big, big secret that's just been off of Big Little Lies. Big group with a big, big secret. And she texts all of them saying, okay, Tyler is weird. Can someone meet me here? I'm a little

freaked out. And after she sends the text, she looks up and someone in a fisherman's slicker and fisherman boots. Oh, no. Already? With a big hook is standing in the middle of the warehouse looking at her. And she's like, Tyler, like, that's not, this isn't funny. What are you doing? Why are you dressed like that? And then from the, like, second floor balcony, Tyler comes over and is like, what?

Are you, like you talking to me? It's not Tyler in the fisherman's slicker. Although I guess we did establish that could be a ghost, judging by the second one. I gotta watch that second movie because... We also could be pulling a scream thing where it's two killers and one of them still is Tyler. You just never know.

You never know. One's a ghost, you never know. Once it goes, once Tyler. And that's the like fun whodunit element that I feel like there's a little bit of in the original, but like shockingly not that much. Like I feel like they're kind of like, is it one of us or is it the guy we almost killed?

Well, it's the guy we almost killed. Whereas this one, I think, brings in some more suspects, which is what you want to do in a mystery type setting. So Fisherman is not Tyler lunges at Ava. Ava and everyone in fights with this fisherman, other than Wyatt, I guess, is pretty good at fighting back, which I appreciated. They're really, really fighting for their lives. She finds a knife somewhere and she's swiping back at a fisherman and slices his abdomen in a way that we see, not in a lethal way, but in a way that you're kind of like clocking it like,

I feel like that's gonna be important, yeah. Yeah. And she locks herself in a room and smashes his head in between the door. Nice. And he drops to the floor, and she is hiding in this room, and then opens the door.

He's gone. That's the other thing that likes to happen a lot is like the second you take your eyes off them, they disappear. And you don't hear a thing, even in a little fisherman slicker and those big boots, you don't hear a damn thing. So silent. It's not like squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeaky. Nope. The stealthiest outfit anyone can wear.

All rubber, head to toe rubber. Big boots, head to toe rubber. And she has like, by the way, this whole time, like been screaming to Tyler, like run, get help. And so Tyler's at this point, like running to try to help her when this big like diving cage falls from the ceiling and traps Ava in it. It's like a shark diving type cage thing that now she's locked inside of, like a little mouse trap. Tyler's trying to help her out of it. She says, no, just go get somebody, go get somebody.

Tyler's now trying to find her way back out of this building, but I think the way they came in is not, it's like either locked now or something. I don't know. For some reason she has to go up through this elevator shaft where she's pulling herself up with like a pulley. And of course the fisherman comes back, intercutting between Ava screwing out bolts from the cage and trying to get the door off the hinges. That's working. We're seeing that Stevie has seen her text and is coming because she said Tyler was weird. And so Stevie's now arrived at the front door, but again, can't like open it. And Stevie's like banging on it and Ava's calling out to her, we're in here, help, help, help. We see the fisherman is like swinging the hook at Tyler's feet. He's like below

her on the bottom of this like elevator platform thing, trying to get her and then she gets up to the second level, which is where all the mannequins are. He gets up there as well. I can't really remember the details of this chase, but it's reminiscent of Helen Shivers' death because this is where she was killed, which is why we were there in the first place. And eventually the fisherman stabs Tyler, I think through the throat and Tyler pulls the hood or hat off. We see her see the killer's face. But we don't see it.

We don't see it. And she says, she says you. No, say a name. Like I really think, I mean, I get it. Obviously I get why, but in that moment, I do think you'd say the person's name. You know, you would. Yeah.

Like if someone I knew, you wouldn't say you. or at least knew their name, maybe she doesn't know this person's name, but like I look at their face and they've got a hook in my throat, I would say, your name, Andrew. I would be like, Andrew? You know, but I wouldn't say, you.

I wouldn't. And. I wouldn't. And I felt like Andrew was safe because there's no Andrews in my daily life at this point. Yeah. You didn't want to subconsciously accuse one of us of killing you. Yeah, I think you're right. Obviously for plot purposes, they just couldn't do it.

They couldn't do that. So Tyler is then flung off the second story of this building with the hook in her neck. She's like hung into it. It's like daytime. There's lots of people out. This is like a very horrific scene. People are screaming. Killer's gone. Stevie gets in and saves Ava. They get out of the cage, but Tyler's dead. Killer's gone. And like, Wyatt and Tyler did not do this thing last summer. No, they did not do this thing. That's a really good point.

No, they did not. They were not involved. So, it's pretty unfair. Pretty fucked up. Yeah. Pretty fucked up. If it was, if there was people who were involved, it wouldn't be fucked up.

No, it'd be totally normal, because that's what you do when you have to get revenge. Vigilante justice. Vigilante justice. A few hours later or so, the police are there at the crime scene and they're being very dismissive of Ava and Stevie who are like, there's a killer obviously. We saw they're wearing a fisherman's slicker, fisherman's boots. They had a hook and the police are kind of like super distracted like, okay, you guys, if you wanna talk more about this,

come to the town hall we're having tomorrow. We'll discuss more there. What could they possibly be distracted by besides the murder that just happened? I don't know, I mean, like reporters. Where the weapon was clearly a hook. Yeah, I don't know. But they're also remind you. They don't want. I mean, like reporters. Where the weapon was clearly a hook. Yeah, I don't know. But they're also remind you.

They don't want it to be a big crime. It's really trying to not make it a big deal. So, okay, the police are not going to be helpful. So Ava decides she has to find someone who's been in this situation before and ask for advice. So she finds Jennifer Love Hewitt, Julie Jones, I think is her name. And she finds Julie.

We see Julie at first is now a, seems to be a professor of psychology, giving a lecture about the effects of trauma. A little on the nose, but it could make sense. She walks out of the lecture hall after class is over. Ava runs after her to stop her, says, someone in a fisherman's liquor has been killing my friends. Julia, of course, thinks she's fucking with her. She's like, very funny. Like, leave me alone. And Ava through her like genuine distress and desperation is able to like convince her like, no, this is, I'm

not joking. I like really need your help, please. So Julie takes her, I think to her house, which is kind of an interesting thing to do, but you know, weirder things. They've got a certain bond. Yes. So they are getting, she's filling her in on the details on what's been happening and Julia, Julie, Julia, shit. But she gives that line that we saw in the trailer, which says, well, I just have one question for you.

What did you do last summer? Julie James. OK. What did I say? Julia Jones. Julie Jones. Julia Jones. Julie Jones. So similar. Whatever. Julie James. So Julie tells her after hearing about everything, she's like, whoever this is has a connection to the person you killed and it's personal for them.

So you can't run and you can't hide because they're going to follow you wherever you go. So all you can do is figure out who it is and find them before they find you. I mean, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that sounds right. So we are now taking it into our own hands. And the only kind of lead we have is that in the original police report of Sam Cooper's death, that fateful night is that he was driving a stolen car. And so they're like, well, we can't find his friends or family,

but maybe we can find who he stole the car from and see if that's anything. Is that gonna be anything? Could be something. Could be something we don't know. So they go to the impound lot that is in town, I guess the only one there like the car had to have come through here. So they ask this guy for details on a truck that would have

been totaled last 4th of July. They pretend to be the person's sister or something to like kind of butter this guy up so that he's just given them, I assume like confidential information. And we find out the truck belonged to a local pastor. Oh my God, they love to do this. Pastor Judah. Judah. Judah Gillespie.

Oh, Judah. That's not a good name for a pastor. There's no S at the end, okay, Hanley? That's right, you're right, you're right. Not Judas. So now, I fucked up the order of this, by the way. We're at the town hall that every concerned citizen can come to to hear what the heck is going on.

The heck. That's also so funny that the police would wanna quiet this down. So they're like, just make an announcement at the town hall. Massive public forum, yeah. Well, because the announcement that they make is that Tyler

was a very troubled young woman and she killed herself. And so they are covering up this crime. The group of five are five main characters, a big secret gang with a big secret. They are yelling what they know to be true. This was not a suicide. This was not an accident. This is a murderer following the same MO of the murders that happened here in 97. Don't ask us how we know. The townspeople are gasping. What's happening? Police and I think Teddy's dad, Grant, real tur guy, is up on the stage as well trying to calm everyone down like, no, no, it was a suicide. It was definitely a suicide. She was so troubled. Definitely really troubled. When Ray Bronson, AKA Freddie Prince Jr. steps Junior steps in to the town hall and says,

you should listen to them. Yes. This has happened before and we need to pay attention or it's gonna happen again. He gives some like little, it's not quite a monologue, but it's like a real moment. Well, if Mike had gotten his hands on it. I know.

And you guys, I had forgotten this. I'm so sorry to say, but Freddie Prinze Jr. is the actual worst actor in the world. Yeah. Is he really bad? It's shocking. It was like- Oh no, that breaks my heart. I feel like he's so cute.

No, he's funny. He's doing great. He's so cute. He's so cute. He has a cute face. It's perfect. Honestly, he's so cute. He's so cute. He has a cute face. It's perfect. Honestly, he's so lovable. There was a lot of reminding me of Keanu Reeves in certain performances in Freddie Prinze Jr. where it's just so earnest, but like...

Just him trying to act. It's just him acting. He's like, hey, everybody. This is me acting. We's like, hey everybody. This is me acting. Gotta take this seriously. Yeah, and his soul is good. And you can tell when someone's soul is good. Yeah, I'm not saying he's a bad person. Just a bad actor.

Just a bad actor. I'm saying he's a bad actor. Yeah, those things are not related. Those are different. I mean, what has he been up to this past 30 years? I mean, living probably his best life. Yeah, I think he's doing great. But I mean, what probably his best life. Yeah, I think he's doing great. But I mean, like, what does he do with his time?

I think he's a podcaster, Henley. He does have a podcast. So the pinnacle of success. Oh, wow. So he's doing fine. He's doing really well. He's actually doing the best that anybody can ever be doing. At most respect.

OK. At most respect. He deserves our utmost respect. So Ray is on the side of the kids, obviously saying we need to take this seriously. This is not a joke. But the police and Grant are silencing them saying, okay, town hall over. It was a suicide. No further questions. Goodbye. Anyone can talk to Pastor Judah, our priest, if they have any feelings about this situation. It's been stressful for us all. So go to church if you're stressed.

Go to the town priest. He'll kill you, but don't worry about it. If you complain. But don't worry about that. So the group, the gang, the big group with the big bad secret. The big bad secret, big group with the big secret.. With the big bad secret, big group with the big secret. That's a big bad secret. They follow Ray back to his bar and we find out that this is the bar that Stevie works for. Why does she work for a bar?

Why does she work for a bar? But he is, it's like on the docks. He's got like, I don't know, it's like kind of like a fisherman's bar, you know? And this is in the original too, because he was suspected of being the killer in the original because he has a boat. He loves to fish. And he loves to fish.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but we find out that like Stevie is like, Ray, I didn't know that this happened to you. This has been covered up so well that the identities have not been revealed, or not common knowledge. And so Stevie's like shocked to find this out and is like, oh my God, well, Ray is my boss and like has been a really wonderful person to me. So like we can confide in him as well. So they again, sit down with someone that it's happened to before we've got our experts here. So trust him., sit down with someone that it's happened to before. We've got our expert here. It's going to be so helpful. So helpful.

We can trust him. We can tell him what we did. We can tell him our crimes, our sins. And he says, you just have to figure out who did it and get to them before they get to you. Well, he says the opposite. He's horrified that Julie told them that. We find out that him and Julie are divorced and they hate each other. Which is very funny. I forgot they were, did they, they were supposed to- They were a couple in the original. Yes.

And I guess they got married. They got married and then they got divorced and now they hate each other and they don't speak. And he's like, that is so typical of her to say some- They don't speak. They don't speak. It's not that they haven't talked, they don't speak. Yes.

And he says, I can't believe she told you to look into this yourselves, like that's so dangerous. And- I mean, true, they're your children. It's like, what you should do is get on a boat and like go somewhere where no one can find you. Two really great options. That's not gonna work either.

That's not gonna work either. So as an expert in the field, I have to say, you either need to hunt down this killer yourself or live on a boat in the middle of the ocean forever. Yeah, but keep in mind that Julie and Ray are both extremely traumatized individuals. Sure. Without regular concepts of, you know, safety.

Safe, safe, safety. Safe, safe, safety. Safe, safe, safety. Safe, safe, safety. While Stevie and Ava and Milo are chatting with Ray some more, Danica and Teddy have gone to the local cemetery to find the graves of the original victims, because part of the cover-up was that like things have been scrubbed about this from the internet as well. Like they're really trying to

this is a powerful town. Make it seem like this didn't happen because of tourism. Yeah, real estate tourism and real estate and people need to buy houses here. Bye bye bye. And Danica and Teddy, things are obviously a little bit tense between them. They are exes. She was engaged to somebody else quite quickly a year later. But at the same time, this is obviously very extreme circumstance. So we are coming together at this time. We are coming together. We're leaning on the people who are sharing our big bad secret. And why it's out of the picture. And Teddy's really hot, obviously.

And they're going to get engaged again. Is that how it ends? Everyone lives happily ever after and nobody else has to die. So they find the graves of, I think his name's Barry Cox, is Ryan Philippe's name from the original, your brother. That sounds familiar. Or your father. Barry Cox, yeah.

And Helen Shivers grave, we see that Helen Shivers is wearing her Croaker Queen crown. If you'll recall, she was a Croaker Queen. The Croaker Queen. Danica is also a Croaker Queen, so she feels a real kinship with her. And then they see Sam Cooper's grave, their victim, and it has fresh flowers on it.

And they're like, somebody does know him. They're just not online. They see a groundskeeper ask him, did you see who put flowers on this grave? He says, no. They say, there's a camera right there. Will you just go check and tell us? He's like, OK. OK. It's quite a quite an ask.

And he goes in to the security office and is looking at the security footage immediately killed by fish. Fish. Wow. God. Spray of blood against all the cameras. And fishermen cuts the line to the security cameras. Cut back to Teddy and Danica waiting in the cemetery. It's like dark now. They've clearly been waiting for probably an hour.

It's like the time difference, it's from day to night. So it's been at least an hour or two, which I thought was very funny, that they're just kind of like, how long is he gonna be? He'll definitely come back. And so Teddy is like, this is crazy. I'm gonna go find him.

You stay here. Let's separate, let's split up. He definitely wasn't murdered. And so Teddy goes to look for the groundskeeper. Danica is just standing alone in a cemetery. And so Teddy goes to look for the groundskeeper. Danica is just standing alone in a cemetery. It's foggy, misty, spooky. And she's squinting, looking through the mist. Thinks she sees something and out from the shadows comes

a slicker and vision remotes. Slick, slick, slick. And a hook, a silent slicker, the silent slicker. The silent slicker. Gross. And he attacks Danica, chases her. Again, she's doing a really good job, like fighting back, like hitting, throwing elbows, kicking them in the dick and stuff. Or crotch, we don't know.

Or crotch. We don't know what's there. Something or something or not, we don't know. He chases her. I'm just saying he because- Maybe, maybe. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Statistically, yes, but maybe, I don't know. She gets chased into a warehouse

where they're building the annual Croaker Queen float. Oh boy. As again, a fun throwback to the original. And she hides under the float. It's very tense. It does have a lot of good scares in it, like tense moments, chases and so this is she's hiding under this float. We see him with his hook, stepping his boots on the float and he's right above her and she's being so quiet. Like, oh my God, I hope he doesn't find me.

And the hook bursts through the float right in front of her face. He grabs her, pulls her out, throws her. She's trying to fight back, but then he throws her against like a curb. It's like a cement corner and she hits the back of her head on it. And I don't know why I'm like, I was just really blown away

by Madeline Klein's performance in this. The like face she made felt so what like, what you would do if you hit your head really hard unexpectedly, like she seems like more confused than in pain, she's like scared and confused and is like reaching for her head and then kind of like starts like, like almost losing consciousness in a way

that just felt very realistic to me and scary. And the killer is slowly but steadily approaching her and is raising that hook, about to slash her when Teddy knocks him off the float, punches him, turns to check if Danica's okay. Oh, no, you don't turn, you don't turn. Takes his eyes off that killer, turns back, killer is gone. Oh my God, so fast.

But Danica's alive, she's obviously got a pretty serious head injury, but they, I don't think they would take her to the hospital. They go back to Teddy's house, bandage her up. She seems okay, but she's, you know, been better. She's concussed at a minimum. Probably concussed. And they decide like Milo and Ava and Stevie also come over. They're all like called group meeting. Big group, big, big group, big, big secret. And they say, nobody's sleeping alone. We have to all stay together. We cannot separate and kind of tells Ava, you and Milo could share a room. She's still trying to play matchmaker, even in this moment.

Oh, what a good opportunity. Everyone's in the mood. God, it closes the door, he opens the window. And. You have to stay. We can't sleep alone. In my guest room together. I don't know.

Uh oh, oh there's only one bed. Oh my God, what's this, a bottle? Are we gonna play spin the bottle today? I'm so glad, I have my head hurt. The only thing that made me feel better is if my friends slept in the room next to me together and I don't know, took their clothes off and kissed. But this means that Teddy is staying with Danica. So this is where they have their kind of reconnecting moment where

he gets in bed with her and is holding her. And he says, like, I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to you. Like that was, that was really horrible. And I'm so glad that you're okay. It's a sweet moment. And we see in the other room, Milo and Ava very quickly start hooking up. They're just like, okay, you know. What else are we gonna do? We might die. Yeah, tensions are high, there's a lot of adrenaline. Like I gotta do something with this energy.

So they start aggressively making out, passionate. And they get on the bed and Ava's on top and she grabs Milo's hand and puts it on her throat and she says, choke me, punish me, I deserve it. And he gets really freaked out. Like, it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I need a minute. I need to, I need to take a breather. And she's like, oh, we don't have to do that. I'm sorry, like, we don't have to. And he's like, it's okay, I just need a little fresh air. We just said we weren't gonna do that.

So he goes out to his car, he gets in his car and he's trying to like psych himself back up. He's- Ah, the fresh air of my car. He's saying like, she just wants you to choke her, just choke her, why can't you do it? Why can't, it's kind of funny. He like, he wants to do it, but he's freaked out

and we're sensing that someone is watching him because of the camera angles and the darkness in the distance and we're not feeling super safe out here by ourselves. And as he goes to walk back inside, the door has been closed and locked behind him. So we can't get back in. He tries to go to the window to get Ava's attention

to let him back in, but before he can, he is lassoed like a rope around his throat and the fisherman is strangling him. And this one's also really gnarly. It's like one of those strangling scenes where it's kind of like, how did they do that? Like he looks like he's dying. And you like are hearing like the bones

in his neck cracking and it's pretty gnarly. And then you hear, yeah, the big crack, the big, big, bad crack. The big one, the big, big, bad crack. The big one, big one. The big one. The big one. And he is dead. It's the first of our core big group gang to get done.

And I will say that I thought it was, I thought Milo was the killer because of Tyler saying, ew, because he gave her a ride. And so I think that's why he's the first one to die, because they're kind of like... -"Uh-uh." -"Not him." -"You thought you knew, but you don't know." -"This one I really don't know."

-"Yeah." -"I have no idea. Did someone have a child in 1997 who's grown up and is doing it now?" Ooh, fun. No, that's not it. Uh, so the killer gets Milo's phone out of his pocket and texts Ava, like, I need some space. I'll call you when I'm ready. Like having a big dramatic reaction to this.

And we see his car drive off. Ava. I need some space. Ava sees the car drive off and is humiliated and stressed. He shouldn't leave, but also I guess I'm such a sex freak that he couldn't bear to stay in the same house with me. And so she's feeling like shit. We cut to Julie at home at night that this same night and Julie has all of her security cameras everywhere. Everything's like connected to her phone. She can like immediately see everywhere in her house at the click of a button. And she hears something outside, checks the cameras,

nothing's there, but is then like going to look out through the back door and her security system says, motion detected, like backyard. And she freezes, grabs the closest whip. There's like scissors on the table. She grabs them and then is like stepping towards the backyard and then we hear motion detected front door. Turns around, it's pretty scary.

And she turns toward the front and she looks at her phone and presses the camera and it's Ray. Ray, you can't be doing this. And she opens the door, she says, I thought someone was coming to kill me and this is worse. They hate each other so much. And they do get a little fight

and he's like, I can't believe he told the kids to do this by themselves. That's so reckless of you. You haven't changed at all. But then there's like a moment of softness where he's like, I just, it felt wrong to not check in on you while all of this stuff is kind of happening again. And I just want to make sure you're okay. So I chose to do it in the night time and the scariest way.

Next day, Ava and Danica go to the church to check out Pastor Judah. He's not there, but there's a girl working there that we recognize as one of Stevie's coworkers from the bar. The one that was like, I'll finish up and you go with your friends. And she has like real culty vibes, I feel like in this scene. She's like, hello and welcome to our beautiful church. Like you guys must be feeling so much grief and Pastor Judah could really help you with that. She says, uh, yeah, Pastor Judah's not here, but maybe I can help you. And Danica says,

can I use your bathroom? She says, yes. And Danica immediately slips into Pastor Judah's office to do some, some digging sleuthing. Ava and this girl are talking and her Hannah is her name. I can't remember if I said that. And Hannah says, yeah, you guys must be really, really dealing with a lot of grief, which I totally understand. We lost one of our flock last 4th of July in a car accident. We're like, uh-oh, we know what that was. Just then, Judah walks in. He's like a big guy, a big pastor. And this man is a big pastor. He's one of the biggest pastors I've ever seen in my life.

Huge pastor. Very menacing, creepy guy, not at all like our beloved Tim. Not at all like Pastor Tim. Just the person you wanna go see if you're dealing with grief or have questions about a murder. A big scary priest. A big scary, menacing cult leader of a priest. We see Danica in his office and just on his desk is a diary that's comically angry scribbles

about the kids that were… I actually didn't read what any of it said, but there's a photo of him with Sam Cooper and angry scribbles and his friend died and he's mad and it's like, okay, so this guy is, this is who we were after. Ava quickly texts Danica. Judah's back, get out of his office. Hannah tells Judah to let them borrow this book on grief that he recommended to her earlier and he's like, oh yeah, it's in my office. Let me go get it. So we're stressed. We're like, did Danica see the text message? She goes into the office. She's out of sight, hidden in a closet. He sees his diary is open and he does a little shifty eye, likes anybody in here, but decides it's fine. It's all fine. Grabs the book on grief, goes and gives it to Ava. We don't really see how Danica gets out of the closet situation, but she escapes

and Judah, there's no confrontation there. They leave, but they go straight to the police office. Police station? Police station, yep. Police police office, police station. Police station, yep. Police officer at the police station. And we see them in like an interrogation room type thing. And they're talking to the chief of police saying, it's Judah, Pastor Judah, he's the killer.

We saw like there's evidence on his desk. You have to go check and you'll find the evidence that you need. He's kind of looking at them like nodding. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. He's like, okay, I'll be right back. He goes and calls Grant and says, those girls are here again and they're being hysterical. Oh, what? Says, I think it might be best if I keep them here for the night so they can't, like, freak anybody else out.

What? And Grant says, like, yeah, I think that's a good idea. So basically, like, we're gonna kill them? What? Or at least falsely imprison young women? I was just gonna say just like extremely illegal. I think let's just keep them here. Yeah, I don't like them.

I don't like the girls. I don't like what they're doing and so I'm gonna lock them in a room. And they certainly won't say anything about that tomorrow. Yeah, we'll really just- We just need a minute to calm down. We'll really teach them a lesson and then they'll never mention it again. Yeah.

So they get locked in this interrogation room, not even moved to a jail cell. They're just locked in the room that they're in. Okay. Pretty rude. Pretty rude. Cut to Teddy. There's mention of how he's been just like working out nonstop in case he has a confrontation, which I think is really smart.

And he's like, I'm just gonna be ready. Like whenever he comes to me, I'm gonna be ready. So, so funny though, to be like, what you're gonna be is sore. Right. Like if you're like, if you're, at this point, how much stronger are you going to get over the course of the next like 48 hours?

Like you're gonna be really tired. Yeah, your muscles will not be working as well. You actually need to rest up. It's very funny. You do you, man. He's got some nervous energy, you know. To ever have the thought of like, I'm being hunted by a serial killer,

like I better work out as much as possible. I'll just get so strong. Yeah. That's why you have to be constantly working out. Chugging creatine. So, we see... There was an earlier scene where he's, like, at the gym, and he was in a steam room,

and written in the steam on the window was, -"You're next." So he is, like, on high alert. And sure enough, we see him now, So he is like on high alert. And sure enough, we see him now alone on the dock outside his family home by his yacht, drinking a beer. They really gave up on that not splitting up things so fast. Yeah, they gave up pretty quick. And just an excuse to hook up and then they all were like, okay, well, okay, see you later.

There is a gated entryway to the dock and it looks like it has a motion detecting like opening thing. And so it just starts opening and closing seemingly for no reason. Teddy gets up to check it out. There is like a statue in this entryway that's silhouetted in a creepy way that seems like

someone's in there, but he seems to know like, oh, no, it's the statue that's in here. And so he goes through the gate to wherever the like control panel is, like he's going to reset it or whatever. And we see that standing perfectly in front of the statue is a fisherman. That's funny. This fisherman is so funny. Is the fisherman large and menacing by the way? I mean, well, we're about to see that Teddy and the fisherman have like a pretty evenly matched fight and Teddy's a pretty big dude. So it's like, yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, right. We're taking that into our calculations of who the killer could be. Teddy doesn't notice the fisherman at first and turns to walk back to the dock. Fisherman stabs him in the back. But Teddy, we know he's been training, training for this moment. He turns, he punches him. He's putting up a great fight, but he is just getting stabbed and stabbed he doesn't have a knife all he's got is his fists and He's that's why you have to have werewolf claws. Why you have to have werewolf claws Wolverine claws Wolverine claws Werewolf claws would do too though any claws

Built-in hand weapons built in hand weapons. That's what that's what I want to do with my hands I don't know what to do with my hands because I don't have werewolf claws. Honestly, Spider-Man web would work too. Oh yeah, that's better than nothing. Built-in hand weapons. He gets stabbed in the knee, through the side of the knee, and he's kicking and punching and fighting,

but he gets stabbed four or five times in various spots. So he is losing steam and he's crawling, like pulling himself up. I think he does knock out the killer for a second. So he gets like a little bit of time to try to escape, but he can't walk. He's just, he's like army crawling toward his house. Henley, you're not gonna like this part. I almost cried. I almost cried in this movie at this part. He looks up and sees his mom through the window

and like can't really speak and is just like, mom, mom. Oh. No, no. I don't care because he's grown up and I don't give a shit about grownups. He's not a kid anymore. It's really sad, I thought. No, that don't care because he's grown up and I don't give a shit about grownups. He's not a kid anymore. It's really sad, I thought. No, that's really sad.

I think sometimes adults calling for their mom is more sad. No, 150 million percent is, especially in a situation like this. This is a really bad situation to be calling for your mom. This, I'm sorry to bring it up, but happened inside when she's like being killed. She calls for her mom. She calls for her mom.

She goes, mommy. That is so sad. That's so, so, so sad. It's really sad. I feel like, and Tyreek Withers is really great in this as well, him and Madeline Klein were real standouts for me. So you threw this, I mean, I haven't like talked a lot about his dialogue or anything, but you really have at this point grown to really

love him. Oh, yeah. Wow. I wasn't planning on feeling anything. I didn't. I wasn't either. It took me by surprise. But he, yeah, he sees his mom and calls out to her. But then I think the killer wakes up, stabs him again or something. We cut away. And so we're now inside the house with Teddy's dad, like sitting in his library, drinking a whiskey, listening to classical music when... That's what all rich people do every single night,

every night. When the doorbell rings and he goes to open the door and Teddy is just like bleeding out on the doorstep, his son. Oh. And he runs to him the doorstep, his son. Oh. Oh. And he runs to him, holds him in his arms. Teddy dies in his arms. That's really dark.

And then the fisherman comes up behind him and hooks Grant through the neck as well. I was going to say, I don't think Teddy rang that doorbell. Kills father and son. Damn. Damn. Well... We cut back to Danica and Ava at the police station. The phones are ringing off the hooks, chaos happening, something's going on.

Where's Stevie? I don't know. Stevie did not go with them to the police station. So, yeah, where is Stevie? But this is the scene where Sarah Michelle Geller is in, where in the police station, Danica has a dream. Oh, that's how you do it. Yeah. A dream.

We see her like kind of wake up in the police station, but something's a little different. The lighting is different. It feels dreamy. And we're hearing Danica, Danica. And her and Sarah Michelle Geller just have a fun scene where Sarah Michelle Geller is basically like, you're gonna die just like I did

because you did a horrible thing and you're a horrible person. And then she's like CGI digitally de-aged also. Weird. The scene's a little weird, but like kind of fun. But dream logic. Dream logicky. And then she starts like deteriorating into a corpse and is like, you're going to die just like I did. And then Danica wakes up in the

police station. And this is where all the chaos is happening. The chief of police opens the doors, like you guys are free to go. And everyone's like running out and they're like, what the fuck is going on? They run to like following the commotion to the dock where Grant and Teddy are both hung up like fish. Like, you know, you see those like, like when sharks are those photos of sharks being hung, they're like hung upside down, like with hooks all in them. It's so upsetting and like,

it's really, really horrible. Wait, do we think that Stevie is part of the cult because she worked with that person who seemed right and she worked with? We have questions certainly. We have questions about Stevie. Stevie had waited for them outside the police station too, so she is back with them now. They see Milo's car in the parking lot. And they're like, oh, thank God Milo came back finally

and open it, find his dead body inside. So now like Danica, Ava and Stevie are just like, oh my God. It's like a lot, it's a lot all at once. It's a lot at once. And Stevie's like, okay, fuck this. We're doing the boat thing. Let's get out of Dodge.

And they get on the boat and- Unless it's Stevie. We see the police now believe that it was Judah. So we like see them busting into the church, guns drawn. Like Judah seems to be praying silhouetted towards the window, but yes, he is indeed impaled in a prayer position. His eyes gouged out. He's dead. Stevie, you nuts, girl. This is too much. Yes, Stevie's doing a lot. Stevie's doing a lot.

And someone in the church looks at a picture on the wall and is like, isn't that Sam Cooper? This might be Ray. And Ray is like, and next to him is Stevie. And we see a picture of Stevie and Sam Cooper arm in arm. Wild to have missed that when they went into the church before. It really is. Really wild. It really is.

So we see Danica and Ava in the boat. I mean, Stevie really played it cool that night when they killed him. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're gonna- What was up with that, we're gonna hear a little bit about that. So Danica and Ava are obviously like doing so, they're doing so bad.

They're like both just absolute shells and they hear the anchor drop and they're like, what the fuck, did Stevie just drop the anchor? And then Stevie, of course, who we now know is the killer, comes in with the raincoat on. Slicker. Slicker. Excuse me.

How dare I? And kind of fumbles for a second and then takes it off and she's like, this thing is so fucking hot. And she has their big turn, evil plan reveal. And she says, yes, I loved Sam. I didn't know that it was him until I read it in the papers. And I thought about killing myself, but then I thought, like, why not just kill all of you?

And... And like some other people, all of you guys completely abandoned me at the most painful time in my life when my father left, like never heard from any of you ever again. I like, I fucking hate you guys. And then you like made me be an accomplice in the death of like the person I love the most. And I wanted you to feel how that felt. And so I killed your your partner so that you'd have to feel what I felt. I see. And then also Judah, just because. Yeah. And then we see Ray,

because Ray has seen this photo, I think, and has figured out. And so Ray is now in his boats coming towards them. Oh, no. I told him to get on a boat. Yeah, so he's coming to them. Oh, dang. And he arrives just as Stevie pulls Danica, is holding the hook to Danica.

Ray gets on the boat with a gun and is like, Stevie, don't do this. You don't have to do this. And she's already done a lot. She's like, I'm fucking doing it. She stabs Danica in the stomach, throws her off the boat. And she's like, and I'm she's like, about to say something evil again. And she's like, and I'll do it again. And Raja shoots her flies off the boat. And we're like, bye. Hell yeah. But Ava, my, is just collapsing with grief. It's just way too much for handle. And they ride back to raise bar. Did Danica die? Is Danica definitely dead?

Yeah. I mean, well, they're like both fallen off. We didn't like see where they went. So feels like we, so you never, you never know if you don't actually see, but both of them fell overboard after being shot or stabbed. So that's as much as we know. On the way back, Ava has called Julie and said it was Stevie this whole time. I'm like really confused. I don't know how she pulled this all off by herself. Because we need, don't we need a big man? Do we need a big man? And so- Freddie Prinze?

Julie is then looking- Tell me his acting really does it. Does his acting come through? Well, okay, so what makes, I actually don't know how Julie put that together, but Julie looks at a photo of Stevie and Ray and knows that they're really close, and so just puts it together through that.

And then Ava doesn't know yet. But then Ray. How validating to be like my ex-husband, who I hate turns out he's a murderer. I was right. All right. I was right on top on that one. And so she she Ray offers Ava like, do you want a fresh shirt? Cause they're like covered in blood. And she's like, no, I'm okay.

And he takes off his shirt and he has the slice where, the slice. Where she sliced him. And so she puts together and she's like, no, I'm good. I'm gonna go actually, bye. Thank you so much for everything. Goodbye. Doors are obviously all locked.

He turns on her and is like, he's like, Oh, Ava, we were even going to let you live because Stevie said that you were like the kindest, like you didn't want to, you wanted to call the cops. You wanted to do the right thing, but now you're loose end. And I like have no choice. Now we have to kill you. Ava's like, what are you talking about? You killed your, you killed killed Stevie and he says, did I? So that was presumably staged. God, they're so coordinated. Are they like, fuck me? They're so coordinated.

I didn't get that vibe, but. Okay. Still a lot to do for your weird teenage employee. The motive is very, very weird in general for him. Okay. For her, it totally makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's movies like this that I feel like give people license Very weird in general for him. Okay. For her, it totally makes sense. Yeah. It's movies like this that I feel like give people license

to believe in conspiracy theories. Because it's like, no one is this organized. No one is this in charge. No one is this organized. No one is this capable behind the scenes. Like, it's just... It's just not happening. Yeah, we see Julie pulling into the parking lot.

She's rushed there. She busts in and sees Eva stumbling out of a back room. She's been stabbed in the back. She's like spitting blood out of her mouth. Can't quite tell if it's like a fatal stab, but it's not good. Julie has her confrontation with Ray. Ray comes out and he is doing his like, oh, Julie, I thought it was such a complication when you got involved. But now I see that as the perfect alibi and I can pin it all on you,

like traumatized girl that never got over her past had to recreate it. Not me, I got over her past had to recreate it. Not me, I got over my past. But it's just like, that's exactly what he's doing. And he's like, so I guess I have to kill you too so I can pin it all on you. And she says, what are you waiting for? Call back.

The line. Call back to the original. And then just to really nail it down, she says, what are you waiting for? She screams it. Just the camera to a 360. No, unfortunately, no, but it is still satisfying. And he's got the hook and he raises it and we hear a...

And he looks down shocked and he has been harpoon-gunned through the heart by Ava. Wonderful. Drops Dead. Wonderful news. And Ava and Julie are picking each other up. They made it through this, final girls together. They say, fuck the 4th of July. So I presume this was the 4th of July in the original as well.

So that's why they both hate it. And not for any other reason, because 4th of July in the original as well. So that's why they both hate it. And not for any other reason because Fourth of July is really good. We cut to Danica's body washing up on shore. And she does cough up water. She is alive. A woman finds her on the beach. She just says hospital. Cut to Ava and Danica both bandaged, worse for wear coming out of the hospital in casts and slings and it's pretty funny. They made it. They are being discharged from the hospital. They're like, my God, we've made it through. We feel like fucking shit, but we're alive. And they are sitting at a table together and Ava says to Danica, you know, Stevie's still alive. And I think she says that she's in prison,

but now I can't remember, but they're like, should we kill her? Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Roll credits, but then there is a mid credit scene with Brandi who is from, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, where she's watching like all the shit

that happened on the news. And her partner says like, isn't that your college roommate, Julie? And she's like, yeah, what the fuck? She's always getting into this shit. And then knock, knock, knock, Julie shows up at the door and she says, I'm so sorry to do this to you again, but I just got this and shows her a note

of a photo of Julie and Brandi. Her name's Carly, Carla, with Brandi's face crossed out and the note says, it's not over. And- and the note says, it's not over. And... One of the notes said, I know what you did summer 19, I know what you did 19 years ago, summer. Wow, wow. And yeah, Julie says, sorry, we are like, sorry to do this.

Sorry. So sorry. And Brandi says, who are we fucking up this time? And so it's leaving the door open for a sequel. So sorry. As Brandi says, who are we fucking up this time? And so it's leaving the door open for a sequel. I feel like they left a big wide door open. Hey, look, give me another movie with Brandi. Like, that actually, I'm like, hell yeah.

Me too, I want to see more of Brandi. Yeah. So I, yes, understand that a lot of people didn't like it because they are, again, stupid movies, but like very, like- It's fun. What did you think it was gonna be? Like, it's just fun. Yeah.

It's just fun, we're all having fun. Yeah. It's gonna be stupid because it's stupid. And- It's not trying to make any big sweeping arguments about the world. There's no social commentary happening here. Ray does say, in part of his like explanation

for why he's doing it, he's like, they're forgetting about us and they're erasing us from the past. And there's a little bit of a meta thing of nostalgia and nostalgia is overrated and Jennifer Love Hewitt comes in with the, who fucking cares if they forget us? That's life. Get over it. That's kind of fun. But yeah, really weird. Really weird for Ray to be the killer. But, you know, whatever. Whatever. At least it's someone that we know and not like have a relationship with. Like, I feel like that's a good correction from the original words.

Like, oh, this guy that we've never seen before. Yeah. And it's fun for it to be Freddie Prince. Yeah, it is fun. Yeah, because he's got such a good soul. He's got such a good soul. Yeah. And it's fun for it to be Freddie Prinze. Yeah. It is fun. Yeah. Because he's got such a good soul. He's got such a good soul. Yeah, and you can feel it.

And you can really tell. Did he act his way through his good soul to being a villain? No, he couldn't do it. It's a performance. It's a performance worth seeing. He gave a performance. He gave a performance in a movie.

And you can watch it. It's a real movie. He's great. He's great. He's great in life and he's great at a lot of things. I'm sure. Yeah. Okay. Well, that was fun.

That was fun. That was a hoot and a half. That was fun. It's a fun one. I had a good time and sorry if you didn't to the people who did not like this movie. I don't know what I don't tell you like this was this has always been the bad version of scream And that's what this was again, and I went in expecting that and I got what I wanted Yeah

Yeah, so if you didn't like it the problem is with you. Yeah Yeah Okay, what's a voice that we can end with? I just want to do what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? I don't know. There's no real voice. So I'm just going to say from all of us here at Too Scary Didn't Watch, goodbye. Goodbye. Bye. We did it. We made it. Thank you all for listening to another episode of Too Scary Didn't Watch.

We'll be back next week with a new episode. We love you. That was a head gum podcast. Hey, I'm Gareth Reynolds and I have a new podcast on head gum called Next We Have. Now this show is for people with short attention spans, which is everyone. I mean, you're probably trying to skip this ad right now, but don't because you now legally have to listen to the show. That's how law works. Next We Have is very simple. Each episode has three short segments. For instance, Lisa Gilroy and I write insane

revenge yelp reviews for callers who had bad experiences with a business, the Doughboys play a game called Meal or No Meal, and Stef Tolov and I go head to head on a thought provoking game called Guess That Sound. The show is as dumb as it sounds, and we probably have more fun than we should, but it's a great time and you should listen or watch new episodes of Next We Have every Thursday on YouTube or your favorite podcast app.
