Julian Contreras Jr: Yes, you did. You talked talk to me about that one.
Kendahl: Screw you to the person that wrote the ending of that movie. I don't care anymore. We're leaving it at that. That's the dumbest thing in the world.
Julian Contreras Jr: I told you they changed it.
Kendahl: Oh I was mad.
Julian Contreras Jr: and
Kendahl: I was mad
Julian Contreras Jr: Yes, you were. You texted me like as soon as it ended.
Kendahl: oh the second This no no no no the second it happened I put I threw my phone down and I said Are you serious? And my son goes, what? He had just been reading the book.
Kendahl: And I said, I'm not telling you. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. He goes, what? And I'm like, I'm not doing this. This is stupid. I'm so mad
Julian Contreras Jr: okay
Kendahl: So talk about.
Julian Contreras Jr: So it's worth it's still worth a watch, yes, but the ending was...
Kendahl: it's a good watch it's a hard watch but it's a good watch yeah it's just geez why Like...
Julian Contreras Jr: Definitely changed.
Kendahl: Anyway. Okay, moving on. So... But... though there is there is one i do want to talk about it's a brand new one it's called the last house
Julian Contreras Jr: I have not seen this one.
Kendahl: And.
Julian Contreras Jr: You told me it was on Netflix.
Kendahl: Yeah, so there's there' was a stunt that was done in Los Angeles. This guy's up on a billboard. He's living in this billboard, and they're just kind of watching him for a couple of days, and then one day he just disappears.
Kendahl: And it's like he's stuck inside this house. Well, that's what the show is about. Right. So you have the guy's name is Louis. ti literor li terary I don't know how to say his last name. But, I mean, the guys the guy has done a lot of movies, and they're they're movies that you've heard of, right? So he is the director of Fast X.
Kendahl: He did. He did. the movie called the delivery. I don't know if you saw that one. the brothers Grimsby, he did that one. Now you see me he did that Clash of the Titans, Incredible Hulk, Transporter.
Kendahl: Like, this guy is... been out there, right? He's done some movies that people have heard of.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay.
Kendahl: So good movie. or Or a good list and this movie is called the last house and it basically is about this family who is literally one day It starts raining and they cannot leave their house.
Kendahl: Can't leave it. It's it's locked shut. And it was like, it starts following them day by day. How do they survive? and then Is it the world? Is it the neighborhood? Is it the block? Is it the few houses what's going on? And the mystery kind of stays that way for most of the movie.
Kendahl: i The reason I wanted to talk about this, because I was telling you about this, I... I was really surprised. so i go online i start looking at it rotten tomatoes right now is sitting at a whopping 27%.
Julian Contreras Jr: Wow.
Kendahl: So here's the fun part. Or not the fun part. Here's the other part. The audience score is a 28. And I thought... What? Now here's the thing In...
Kendahl: In all of this movie... i I had the same questions I started reading on these audience scores. It was, okay, they didn't really explain a lot. it just seemed like it all kind of happened really quickly And the whole time there's a lot of questions that you're having that end up not being answered.
Kendahl: I'll give it that. But this movie is... entertaining, to say the least. like I had my entire family. sitting through this until this whole movie and i mean it's it's not a really long movie it's an hour and 50 minutes so it's just under two hours
Julian Contreras Jr: right
Kendahl: And. it's pretty enthralling Like, I'll be honest with you. There's a couple of low moments where it's like, okay, you want to do the old TiVo thing. You know, come on.
Kendahl: But... That's not... throughout the film. And the acting? is decent like these are pretty much not as many known actors
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay.
Kendahl: it's decent The plot... is weird. But it's decent. But then it kind of ends in a weird way. And. I'll admit. it gives you this like Uh... Oh. Kay?
Kendahl: Sure. But watching the movie throughout the movie, it's good. And I think this movie is not getting enough good credit because... It's fun. It's...
Kendahl: it's different? It definitely. present this very different concept. His family lives ultimately in this house for a very long time. I'm not going to say a lot about it because it's a very, very new streaming. It just barely came out. And I don't want to give anything away of how long or anything like that. But.
Kendahl: Hands down. The plot... Twist is interesting. does it It also is like. Okay, that sure. I get it
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay.
Kendahl: And I can understand why people don't like it because of that. But ultimately... this was this was This was a fun... movie This is exactly what we talk about. Shut off. shut the world off, shut the news off, shut all that stuff off.
Kendahl: and turn on something that just makes you forget about it. And that's exactly what this movie does
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah. I will say like what's funny about our.
Kendahl: So.
Julian Contreras Jr: Podcast title. obviously But. Sometimes there's people that are doing other movie reviews or TV show reviews. And they get so close to saying.
Julian Contreras Jr: the name of our podcast. every time they started with shut off and I'm like, do it. Say it.
Kendahl: ha
Julian Contreras Jr: and But they just don't. But that's funny.
Kendahl: It's okay.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay, so that was the last house. I am definitely going to give that a watch.
Kendahl: Yeah, try it out. I would love to hear what your thoughts on on it, because... i I agree in the fact that the movie sucks for an ending. It's hands down.
Julian Contreras Jr: You said no spoilers.
Kendahl: I hate... Well, no, I mean the movie they has that has a terrible ending It does.
Julian Contreras Jr: Oh.
Kendahl: its
Julian Contreras Jr: Awesome. It's a long walk all over again.
Kendahl: No, it does it now No, no, no Not that.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay.
Kendahl: No. don't start me on that But... But the thing is, is that the lead up to where it comes to the end. is definitely worth the watch.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay.
Kendahl: I liked it.
Julian Contreras Jr: I am gonna go to...
Kendahl: So.
Julian Contreras Jr: A huge blockbuster that somehow you haven't seen yet.
Kendahl: Oh my gosh. Okay, I'm going to let you talk about it, and then I'll tell you why I haven't seen it.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay. I'm obviously talking about the fantastic. Christopher Nolan. In the Odyssey. I don't know how you haven't seen it.
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: You've told explained it to me a little bit, but.
Kendahl: Oh.
Julian Contreras Jr: I was actually. This is going to sound weird, but I went to brunch with a couple friends. Couple guy friends. And all of a sudden they were like. Hey, do you want to go see this movie? I was like, I don't know. I'm kind of.
Julian Contreras Jr: Kind of busy today. And they really twisted my arm for 15 seconds and said, oh, it's playing over here at this IMAX and there's three seats left. And I thought I was like, Okay, let's go.
Julian Contreras Jr: They're like, what, really? Like, yeah, it's fine. I'll just put everything else off. So they... Like I call it a little, uh, they bro -napped me.
Kendahl: Sure.
Julian Contreras Jr: Drove over to the IMAX. theater and My one friend who was there at breakfast, he had just seen it the night before.
Kendahl: Oh, okay.
Julian Contreras Jr: And he was seeing it less than seven hours later.
Kendahl: Haha. i mean I have heard nothing but good about it, and it it breaks my heart that I have not seen it.
Julian Contreras Jr: See ya.
Kendahl: But again, I'll tell you guys in a minute.
Julian Contreras Jr: I really really loved this movie Going into it, I think we talked about it and it seemed like we weren't going to like it at all. But I feel like it's the information that was getting put out there.
Julian Contreras Jr: was on purpose. Just to say, oh yeah, this movie is going to be trash. It's going to be garbage. It's doing all this stuff. It's doing this. nobody's gonna see this movie and this thing just raked in
Kendahl: Mm hmm.
Julian Contreras Jr: The reviews. The money. the people watching it over and over again in IMAX which is hard to get tickets for
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: I haven't tried this week but I don't know if it's probably still hard to get tickets, probably why you haven't seen it yet.
Kendahl: I wish that was the reason. Ha ha.
Julian Contreras Jr: But everybody did. A fantastic job in... this movie. I did watch a little reel that. They were. Talking about Tom Holland's character.
Julian Contreras Jr: And they asked him how old he was. And he's like, I think I'm. Am I 18? And then he's going back and forth with Matt Damon. and there he's like I think he was 20.
Julian Contreras Jr: And I did the math. He's like, well, if you left it when he was two.
Kendahl: Mm hmm.
Julian Contreras Jr: You came back 20 years later, that would make him 22.
Kendahl: Mm hmm.
Julian Contreras Jr: and he's like oh that's right and then tom holland looks at the camera and he's like I think I've made a mistake because I played him as 16.
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: And they all start laughing. so i mean did he play him a little young Yeah, that I mean, that could be the only critique in that.
Kendahl: Oh.
Julian Contreras Jr: Like, he didn't have... like the the super masculine energy of his dad you know he was kind of like i need to find my dad i need to do this but he wasn't really like the man of the house
Kendahl: Yeah.
Kendahl: Got it.
Julian Contreras Jr: And but. That's nitpicking. Honestly.
Kendahl: Well...
Julian Contreras Jr: I've only seen it the one time.
Julian Contreras Jr: But I absolutely loved it. I give it a 9 out of 10.
Kendahl: You know, I think one of the things that's interesting about this movie, though, is there's a couple of fun facts that I found out about this movie. One is, did you know Christopher Nolan does not own a cell phone?
Julian Contreras Jr: No, but good for him.
Kendahl: Yeah, he does not have a cell phone And when somebody.
Julian Contreras Jr: It's not because he can't afford it. I'll tell you that
Kendahl: Well, somebody asked him, like, how do you get through with like emails and texts and phone calls and stuff? And he says, well, if I have to make a phone call, I'll do it on a landline in my home. he said but if i have to email or text he goes i have people that surround me that do that for me.
Kendahl: And I thought to myself... privilege much, but... But at the same time, he said it just... He feels like if he had a cell phone. He would be. addicted to looking at the world around him differently.
Kendahl: And he feels like not having a cell phone allows him. to see a world that doesn't exist so that he can produce something. that we can see.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay, I like it.
Kendahl: And I was like, okay, I get it. So that was interesting and then to this film has so much practical effect in it in places that people were like Oh, no, that was CGI. And even at one point, the actors.
Kendahl: We're expecting to be in a position where they had a green screen or they had like you know bobbleheads or or puppets. in in a cgi moment and it ended up being Just. pure practical effects.
Kendahl: and it blew and even they were blown away by the way it turned out on film because they did not expect it to be as They just didn't expect it to be what it was, what it turned to be out. you know like One of the scenes is when Matt Damon's character is fighting the Giants.
Kendahl: Well, it turns out that's just a 411 actress. against... I think it was like a half a dozen guys that were like seven something.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay
Kendahl: so Yeah, of course it looks like they're giants compared to Matt Damon, who's six foot, and these guys look like they're 12 foot something. Well, yeah, it's because you would literally have... a woman that was presented to look like matt damon from the back from the back position And.
Kendahl: you know, she's just under five foot. And these guys are massive compared to her, you know?
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay.
Kendahl: So. And then I don't know the scene. but the scene where the The pig transition is what i been I've been told.
Julian Contreras Jr: Oh, yeah. yeah
Kendahl: That was Practical Effects.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah, I have seen that they explained it on one of the videos I was watching
Kendahl: yeah It's crazy to me.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah.
Kendahl: So, but yeah, I mean, so, alright. All that being said, here's the here's how I have not seen this movie. Okay. So.

Kendahl: And I do have a better sound system. And so when I do watch movies, I'll be honest with you. it's Very entertaining. it's I'm not watching it on on a -inch phone screen or a 10 -inch monitor at my desk.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah. On an airplane.
Kendahl: you know Hey, you know, I watched it with you on the airplane. We'll talk about that in a minute too, but that that was also pretty good.
Julian Contreras Jr: All right.
Kendahl: But, all right.
Julian Contreras Jr: i have a little story when we were walking to our seats it was an imax theater so it was
Kendahl: Okay.
Julian Contreras Jr: It's super steep
Kendahl: Mm -hmm.
Julian Contreras Jr: So. Right before we go in there. We realize that we're late, but we figure there's going to be trailers. But apparently, when do you watch it that early in the morning. They don't play the trailers. They just go right into the movie to get as many iMac shows.
Kendahl: They're like. they're like let's just get this over with
Julian Contreras Jr: So. I missed the first 10 to 15 minutes, I've been told, is the whole Travis Scott part. So I haven't seen that yet. Maybe the next time I watch it.
Kendahl: Okay. Okay.
Julian Contreras Jr: I'll see it. So I'm like, okay, I'll lead the way because. They're both hard of seeing. I'm like, where are the seats? He gets the tickets out. It's like. It's K -1, 2, and 3. K is the very top.
Julian Contreras Jr: All right. So I'm like, okay.
Kendahl: Ha ha.
Julian Contreras Jr: One, two, three. It's on this side. We ask. I start marching up these stairs and as we're watching, I'm like, oh crap, the movie's already on. So I make an eye contact with. every person that i'm walking by because they're like what What's your problem?
Kendahl: yeah What are you doing?
Julian Contreras Jr: Thank you. Why are you late? And I'm like, I know, I know.
Kendahl: okay
Julian Contreras Jr: I'm sorry. We get all the way to the top. To K -1, 2, and 3. And guess what? There are butts in our seats.
Kendahl: Oh, geez.
Julian Contreras Jr: So. Now I have nowhere to go. I'm in the corner. And i'm I look over to my friend and I'm like. What number did you say? He's at K -1, 2, and 3. And I look at these chairs and it says, one, two, three.
Julian Contreras Jr: And so. Instead of making a huge scene or drama or whatever, but these people know they're in the wrong seat. And my buddy's like, hey, there's three right down here. together so let's just go down there So we go back down the stairs one level and we're on L.
Julian Contreras Jr: And we sit there. And after the movie ends, we talk and I'm like, let me see the phone. like Did you tell me wrong? Because I stood in front of these people for a good. 45 seconds.
Kendahl: Sure.
Julian Contreras Jr: not having anywhere to go and squatting down doesn't make sense because they're reclined so he shows me the ticket and sure enough it was k one two and three these people just Chose the wrong aisle.
Julian Contreras Jr: Made us look like idiots.
Kendahl: hey
Julian Contreras Jr: so I feel bad for half a second. And then I was like, whatever. They were in the wrong. I i knew where I was going.

Kendahl: I had heard about that
Julian Contreras Jr: And they're just dragging this thing. It's the worst movie ever made.
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: It's only this. It's full of AI and CGI. and All of this other stuff. Now, me, i I suppose I'm not smart enough to see the difference between AI and...
Julian Contreras Jr: CGI. I love it. a lot of these kills were ridiculous and you could tell they were done on the computer and they looked Almost horrible.
Kendahl: Okay.
Julian Contreras Jr: Like. Because I'm a terrifier guy, I like my practical effects.
Kendahl: Mm hmm.
Julian Contreras Jr: And there were some practical effects in this movie. But it was followed up. Or... pre -loaded to Bye. CGI or AI.
Kendahl: Okay.
Julian Contreras Jr: I... I personally will never see this movie again. Honestly. But did I?
Kendahl: you and You and a lot of other people.
Julian Contreras Jr: Would... I say I absolutely hated this movie. No, I still had fun.
Kendahl: Okay.
Julian Contreras Jr: I knew what it was going to be. I knew it was going to be nothing but. gory child violence. Just stupid premise. All is a plot holes left and right. Sure.
Julian Contreras Jr: Sure. I'll give you that
Kendahl: a
Julian Contreras Jr: But... Out of three out of ten. I had fun.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah. I had fun. Eli, you can come on the show anytime. i have uh cabin in the woods
Kendahl: Oh.
Julian Contreras Jr: uh, Poster right here
Kendahl: Yeah. I...
Julian Contreras Jr: so

Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah. And i knew I knew what it was going to be. And.
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: Some of the fun banter, like the script. and the way it was delivered i don't know it's probably the delivery but It was. Comical. I think the only time I.
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: Like followed this script completely was when they were having dinner and eli roth was playing the dad
Kendahl: Mm.
Julian Contreras Jr: And there was some fun banter back and forth.
Kendahl: Hmm. Alright.
Julian Contreras Jr: but It just didn't hit. I don't hate the guy at all. I'm not saying retire. I'm not saying worst movie ever made. because i've seen some duds there's some out there that have
Kendahl: Mhm.
Julian Contreras Jr: Razzie's galore.
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: But Ice Cream Man, if you fully just want to see something gross for Halloween... stupid that you could drink to take a shot every time somebody does this Go ahead and do that safely.
Julian Contreras Jr: But.
Kendahl: Safely.
Julian Contreras Jr: I... I... I'm not gonna say I hated this movie at all.
Kendahl: That's funny. all right well i i mean honestly i think there's there's a There's a lot to be said about. being able to Make a movie like that with from el Eli Roth.
Kendahl: he also did there was a lot of publicity stunts with it with the ice cream man thing
Julian Contreras Jr: Yep.
Kendahl: And so. You know i Yeah. Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: it it is what it is kendall i saw it i wanted to give my opinion on it there it is
Kendahl: Yep.
Julian Contreras Jr: I liked it. Won't watch it again. Blah blah blah.
Kendahl: So. uh so the last thing i wanted to talk about so when i was in my on on the way home so i was flying
Kendahl: the The flight was seven hours, so I had to occupy it somehow. And I had the i had the great ability of having...
Julian Contreras Jr: cheese
Kendahl: I know, right? The, uh... The flight that I was on had Three brand new movies I got to choose from. It was Devil Wars Prada 2.
Julian Contreras Jr: All right.
Kendahl: It was the Michael movie. And then it was, good luck, have fun, don't die.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay.
Kendahl: And. And all three of them had just barely gone to you like rent from home type status. And so I was like, yeah, sure. Why not? They're all, you know, fairly newer. I'll look at it. And I decided on good luck, have fun, don't die.
Kendahl: Mainly because... Like I. I think it looked quirky so You've got... uh oh my gosh sam What is his name?
Kendahl: i'll get it here in a second so you've got the main character who is basically this crazy looking
Julian Contreras Jr: Rockwell.
Kendahl: Futuristic guy. he walks into a diner.
Julian Contreras Jr: Right.
Kendahl: and It says, hey. I'm from the future and everybody in this diner. is here for a reason and you're going to help me save the future from becoming this.
Kendahl: disgusting, dystopian, like... garbage hole.
Julian Contreras Jr: Mm -hmm
Kendahl: Sam Rockwell. so
Julian Contreras Jr: Yep.
Kendahl: Anyway, he he looks he looks through everybody and he's like Uh, not you. You're, you know... In the last 52 opportunities, you die within the first few seconds, right?
Julian Contreras Jr: Yep.
Kendahl: It's just the the whole first few minutes of this film. is I was laughing out loud. I'm on an airplane and my wife literally keeps looking over at me because I'm laughing so hard. It's just funny.
Kendahl: And. the whole movie ends up being about Like how. Your... like the reality is kind of what you make of it, but I'll give it this much. The movie ends in the most quirky, weird.
Kendahl: I... Totally saw it coming, but it was still good. You have to remember this movie has. no interest to be in reality. It is hands down.
Kendahl: It knows a thousand percent what it is by the time you get to the end of this movie.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yep.
Kendahl: I'm not giving anything away, but there's there's a giant cat giraffe that eats people. At one point.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah.
Kendahl: and It's hilarious.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah, because I did watch it after you recommended me watch and I watched it the next day so I have seen this
Kendahl: Oh, okay. So...
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah.
Kendahl: So.
Julian Contreras Jr: See, I take your recommendations. That's what we're here for.
Kendahl: Yeah. it's it's It's crazy. But it's funny. like I thought this movie was quirky. It's funny. It definitely didn't get enough attention in the theaters because I think it was so weird.
Kendahl: But.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah.
Kendahl: i I thoroughly enjoyed this. i Myself, I'm going to give this movie like a 7 or an 8. I would see it again.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah. yeah it was funny and once you see it the first time then you'll like give it a week and you're like i should watch that again that way you'll catch more of the stuff
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: that's happening because it is one of those movies that does kind of go in chapters
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: it's like he's picking the group and then it shows you the background of how that person got to the restaurant that day.
Kendahl: Yeah.
Kendahl: Right.
Julian Contreras Jr: So you understand the backgrounds.
Kendahl: I mean, and it's... Well, and this movie is is very much a point to like current society of how we're just obsessed with. technology and how it gratifies this this thing in our brain in a weird way all the time and so there is definitely an underlying message in here that
Julian Contreras Jr: Mhm.
Kendahl: You know, we. kind of get sucked into social media and instant gratification and that brain rot material.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah.
Kendahl: But then at the same time, it makes it completely hilarious.
Julian Contreras Jr: Okay. So the way this movie ended very much reminded me of... The devil's advocate. With Pacino.
Kendahl: oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh that's a good i like that yeah
Julian Contreras Jr: so it's Yeah. so If you've seen both. those movies or if you've seen devil's advocate that's the kind of ending you're getting to and devil's advocate is probably one of those movies we should dive into
Kendahl: Oh, geez, yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: Because it was. A 90s. sleeper c colt Hit.
Kendahl: Yeah. it's such a great movie
Julian Contreras Jr: Bye. It's It's amazing. Pacino did a great job.
Kendahl: Yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: Keanu did a great job.
Kendahl: Oh yeah.
Julian Contreras Jr: What's her name? What's her last name?
Kendahl: No, I gotta go look it up
Julian Contreras Jr: Oh my goodness.
Kendahl: But I think the best thing about that movie is that movie is one of those, you after you finish watching it, you're like, oh. It makes you think. Like, did I... Did I pay attention to everything? Was I listening to everything?
Kendahl: Cherie, stay around.
Julian Contreras Jr: Yeah, thank you
Kendahl: So.
Julian Contreras Jr: I knew you were gonna leave me on a cliff there
Kendahl: Yeah. no so but i mean yeah it's it but it's it the movie 100 knows what it is i mean there's no question about it at one point it just gets so off the rails weird and you're just like Yeah. Okay, let's go this way.
