Introduction and Year-End Wrap-Up
00:00:04
Speaker
Welcome. For real. All right. Welcome back to Fright Central. I'm Doc back here again with Keck and this will be our end of the year kind of wrap up of what we just kind of watched recently. We'll go into our favorite TV movies in January.
00:00:31
Speaker
But yeah, this will be the last one. This will probably be out around Christmas.
Upcoming Horror Movie Releases
00:00:36
Speaker
So I guess Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Yeah, seriously. Well, is there any content that see that still get to come out that's going to be coming out in the next couple of weeks before the new year?
00:00:51
Speaker
Uh, any like horror content that, you know, that's going to be coming out before or just after Christmas in theaters. I don't think so, but I know there's a bunch coming. Like, you know, that's either out now, like, um, Christmas bloody Christmas, uh, by the guy who did VFW and, uh, they're doing, uh, they're doing another bloody Christmas.
00:01:14
Speaker
No, it's called Christmas Bloody Christmas. It's I saw it last night. It's basically like what if the Terminator was a Santa Claus and like it's. So it's not. Yeah, it's not that. I mean, there's some good gore in it, but like overall, it's kind of especially compared to like his other movies. I mean, you watched VFW.
00:01:38
Speaker
Oh, I loved it. Yeah, I was almost human and he did bliss as well. So like I thought he had a good track record, but this one I thought wasn't that great. So yeah, that it fell short of expectation. Yeah, I think so. It was a little VFW is great. How one was in terms of like his progression,
Plot Summary: Violent Night
00:02:04
Speaker
When was VFW made in order? Is this like his first film? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think it was almost human. And then I think Bliss was next. And then I think VFW. Or it could be VFW, then Bliss. I don't know. They came out around the same.
00:02:23
Speaker
within like a year of each other so but then i mean vfw was freaking excellent so i mean you know if he had a dud then so be it but uh glad he gave us vfw that was a that that was that was a very very fun movie yeah that was very very very fun movie um what else uh has been uh on your uh itinerary
00:02:47
Speaker
Uh, I haven't really like got anything on my list just right now. I mean, like, like I said, it's the end of the year. So, uh, nothing's really like stood out for me, at least tar wise. I mean, I do want to see that, uh, violent night movie with, um, David Harbor as the, as Santa Claus. It's basically diehard, but Santa Claus is John McLean. Oh yeah. I, I don't, I don't know about that.
00:03:13
Speaker
Oh yeah, it's like John Leguizamo and like his group like, you know, invade some rich people, you know, trying to rob them for money. It's basically the diehard plot. But then like Santa Claus is real and he's played by David Harbour and like he ends up like saving the family and stuff like that. And it's supposed to be like a horror action comedy is how it looks.
00:03:38
Speaker
And that's how this you you saw this already or now it's about to come out. It's out now. Yeah. Oh, it's down there. Oh, OK. Cool. Cool. Cool. Yeah, I've been. I recently watched.
Art the Clown and Terrifier Series
00:03:50
Speaker
Well, I watched the terror fires because I had seen the first that we talked a little bit about it, I think, you know. Yeah, I think I mentioned it to you. Oh, how we talked a little bit about
00:04:05
Speaker
the director because Art the Clown, the killer in all his movies, Michael Myers, if you will. I was just looking at films that he has done, like All Hallows' Eve and Terrifier,
00:04:27
Speaker
one, Terrifier two, mostly everything else he did were all shorts. So like his whole career has kind of been about like this arc, the clown character who is like this really
00:04:40
Speaker
really horrifically fucking sadistic mute mime clown. And I gotta tell you, when you had mentioned Terrifier to me, I was like, why are you watching it? Like, because I had seen it years ago. I remember thinking, like, aside from, like, seeing, like, one of the most beautiful actresses ever, like, otherwise, I just remember that being gory and I remembered him sawing a woman in half.
00:05:07
Speaker
But otherwise, I didn't really think very much more of it. But then when you had told me Terrifier 2 came out and I looked up on IMDB and I saw that it got like really good ratings. And then I noticed that some people had dressed up as arctic clown on Halloween. And now apparently there's like a lot of interest in the character and
00:05:31
Speaker
I'm almost certain that they're going to be doing a third one. Yeah. I think the only reason I had brought it up was because it was out, like it came out of theaters as like a limited run. And I'll, and then like, it was getting good reviews and I was like, well, let me go back and watch the first one. Cause I remember when I watched the first one, I was just like, eh, it's whatever. Like the core is good. Whatever. So I'd gone back and watched the first one and then like.
00:05:52
Speaker
it kept doing like well enough in theaters that they just, you know, kept where they were like, it was only supposed to be like a limited run of like a week. And then like did so well, they were like, okay, well, here's another week. Okay, here's another week. And it was at the time where like, there wasn't a lot coming out, but like, it was still doing well with like a bunch of other movies that were out. So it was doing well enough to stay in theater. So, I mean, I think I mentioned that I did think it was a little too long. I didn't think the story was that great, but I mean, I did think that the gore was pretty good. That's for sure.
00:06:21
Speaker
Yeah, I thought the gore at times was almost a little bit overkill. What it was is that the gore, the way it was done to this guy, he's very sadistic. Like he doesn't like just want to kill you.
00:06:39
Speaker
Like he really enjoys like sapping like every last inch of pain out of his victim that he can. But he likes to kill you rapidly though. It's not like days of torture or anything like that. But when he kills you, he likes to hit you with maximum impact if you kill.
00:07:01
Speaker
like ripping off your skin and then hitting you with salt and bleach or something like that. And, you know, you know, doing stuff like that. He takes like great pride into it. He seems to enjoy preying on females over males. And, you know, but yeah, I mean, I I enjoy Terrifier too. It was a bit long.
00:07:30
Speaker
Uh, it got a little bit beat. It got a little bit ridiculous. I thought at the very end, uh, because there wasn't in the, in all Hallows' Eve and the first terror fire. Somebody told me there's all Hallows' Eve part two.
00:07:46
Speaker
if that is true i didn't see it on imdb and i haven't seen it personally i didn't see either but i think they're both kind of like um anthology movies if i'm not maybe well i know the first one there was an all-hazif that was a short yeah so yeah i think they're
00:08:06
Speaker
Yeah, he did a he did a lot of shorts involving the art, the clown character. But, you know, I mean, I don't know, I in general liked it. And, you know, I mean, there's not too much more, I guess I could say about it, because there's nothing like really remarkable
Terrifier Sequel Potential
00:08:26
Speaker
in it. I mean, it's just this clown that goes around
00:08:30
Speaker
fucking killing people and doing it in very gory, brutal manners. There's not too much more to say than that. There was, I had never seen, I can't remember her name, but the actress in Terrifier 2.
00:08:47
Speaker
is a beautiful young actress. I had not seen her in anything else before that, but she has this Xena warrior princess vibe going that I thought was kind of weird and didn't really like
00:09:03
Speaker
fit into it. Yeah, I thought it was gonna be some weird thing where like, her father was gonna end up being art the clown or something like that. Like, they didn't go that direction. It was still like, okay, what the fuck? Like, it was real weird. Yeah, there was like magic sort of involved at the end where she's like, sort of comes back from the dead and I don't know, like she's dressed like Zena with wings and stuff like that. And I mean,
00:09:28
Speaker
I don't know, I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to them making a part three because even though at the end of the second one, our guy's head chopped off, but the way in which they ended it, check it out if you are into
00:09:47
Speaker
good gore. They're almost definitely going to make a part three. Oh, yeah. Head chopped off for not like art the clown. You know, he shot himself in the head point blank. Carve his brain came out at the end. And he seemed to come back. It was fine. Like that scene at the more like it didn't really even phase on that much. Yeah, he put a new eye in the end.
00:10:13
Speaker
Yeah, he cut somebody's eye out, put that eye in. His vision seems to be all right now. The brain, like his skull missing, didn't faze him that much. He did care about his clown suit because he went to the dry cleaners, the laundry mat to wash it and stuff. So he cares about his appearance. That's cool.
00:10:37
Speaker
But I mean, I don't know. I enjoyed it. I'm a fan of the franchise. I don't I was saying that. I guess you could call it franchise. I with the interest and with the well reception, like you said, in theaters, I think that there's going to be another one. But I'm wondering if like it if it gets produced by like a larger
00:11:01
Speaker
company like, say, Paramount or something. I'm wondering if they're going to ask him to turn tune down the sadistic violence or not. So I'm not sure if like, major studios will accept it. But I do foresee a Terrifier 3.
00:11:18
Speaker
probably with a larger budget and being real ridiculous. And I'm looking forward to that. I hope there is. Yeah, I think it made enough money where like, even if they don't do and get a bigger studio, he'll have the budget from that that movie that he made money off of to do this one. So it is sort of like explain some of the story a little bit better. Yeah, that would that would have been cool.
00:11:44
Speaker
I like that he's got that like mute vibe going to like that whole mime thing like you know no dialogue he doesn't even I haven't even heard him grunt in pain like you know like when he gets like stabbed or something like that or shot like he makes no sounds whatsoever like even Michael Myers made sounds even Jason made grunts before like that motherfuckers straight up mute so
00:12:13
Speaker
I don't know. If you're into like gory horror, I recommend Terrify. I really have much more to say about that. I like the soundtrack, the 80s, like 80s vibes. Yeah, that was cool too. Yeah, that was cool too. You know, like I said, all the actresses are beautiful. So, you know, you have your slasher horror, like eye candy type thing going on too.
00:12:39
Speaker
of the
00:12:56
Speaker
And I don't know. I think you could just start with Terrifier. You don't like I didn't see All Hallows' Eve. I didn't know about it until you mentioned it. I'm just saying if you want to see all three movies that he's made and you want to see all of Arctic Clowns start with All Hallows' Eve, which is basically just Terrifier part like 0.1 and then go into Terrifier one.
TV Show Overview: Yellow Jackets
00:13:21
Speaker
and then Terrifier 2 and you'll have seen the story of Art the Clown. Other than that, I've been watching this show, I believe it's made by Showtime called Yellow Jackets. It's about like this high school soccer team that gets sort of like, it's sort of a cross between if you've seen a live where that rugby team crashes
00:13:50
Speaker
I think it's like somewhere in Argentina and they're like, you know, snow bound in the plane. I thought it was like the Alps.
00:14:00
Speaker
Yeah, in the Alps somewhere and there are the Indian, I don't know, somewhere. But anyway, they have to resort to cannibalism. And then there's also like, sort of like, that was like willing cannibalism in, you know, alive. Like if they died, like, you know what I mean? They would get eaten. This also had a cross of like Lord of the Flies in it too, where it was sort of survival of the fittest.
00:14:28
Speaker
There's also elements of comedy. There's noteworthy performances by Christina Ricci. She was really, really, really good in it. Juliette Lewis, who I haven't seen on the screen that much recently, may have returned in it. And her performance was great. I mean, my goodness gracious. I had to look up Juliette Lewis's age though, because
00:14:55
Speaker
uh i found out she was 49 she looks like she's like 70 like you know she uh has not i mean i don't know if it was done intentionally that way or if she just hasn't like aged really well but she looked um well she was supposed to play like sort of like a drug addict and yeah she pulled it off like really really well but hey i'm a joy at lowes fan not trying to talk shit
00:15:21
Speaker
The girl just walked a little bit banged up in this. She really played her character. Well, that's for sure. It is interesting. You know, it starts off where you think like, oh, wow, this is going to be full on like from the first, like maybe 15 minutes of the first episode. You're like, oh, wow, this is going to be really brutal. And I was like, you know,
00:15:46
Speaker
You know, pure horror. I haven't, you know, I had not even heard about, I was like, how did this one pass me by? But then what I didn't realize is that Showtime had already agreed to two seasons. So season one was just going to be the first half of the story. Season two comes out in March, I believe. I did not know that going in. So I was expecting them
00:16:13
Speaker
to get into like the real hardcore cannibalism as the show went along and I kept waiting and it never came. So the body of the first season like in between like episodes like two
00:16:31
Speaker
to like maybe eight or something. They have some, there's like, I wouldn't say it's flashbacks because they are showing like both things. They're showing them as adults and they're showing them stranded
00:16:46
Speaker
as teenagers at the same time. This story just keeps going back and forth. I wouldn't say that they presented it as flashbacks. So you have the two stories kind of running concurrently. I don't know. There was suspense involved, but it kind of gets like a little bit like soap opera in the body of it, if you know what I mean. Um,
00:17:14
Speaker
There's not like, but there's always like an element of like horror and suspense going on. But like, I thought the body of it because like, um, it deals with their lives as grownups and they're having like affairs on their husband.
00:17:29
Speaker
And one of them is running for state senator of New Jersey.
Anticipation for Yellow Jackets Season 2
00:17:34
Speaker
So yeah, they're, by the way, it takes place. The girls are from New Jersey. So that's where the soccer team is from. And they are stranded. They're flying from New Jersey, I believe, to Seattle. They don't make it clear exactly where the plane goes down.
00:17:54
Speaker
So I'm going to deduce that the flight path from Jersey to Seattle would probably take you across like very rural northern Montana or extremely rural Washington state where, you know, there's, you know, there's, you know, 50 to 100 square miles, like probably on an abit.
00:18:18
Speaker
But what's a little bit different is they're quickly able to find shelter. They find like this cabin out in the woods, which made me think like.
00:18:28
Speaker
They can't really be that far out there if like, you know what I mean? They found a cabin that somebody built and there's even an airplane there. It's kind of where it's got a lot of potential. But the first season was like just kind of like a buildup to everything. I'm not going to get too much more into it because there's a lot of cool shit that happens.
00:18:51
Speaker
But I know you haven't seen it, so I don't want to go into too many spoilers. Yeah, I'll watch it before Season 2 comes out. Yes, but like you said, you said it's not coming out till March. Yeah. So you have plenty of time. So it's nothing that I would say is like something pressing. Other than... Speaking of...
Wednesday Addams Series Discussion
00:19:15
Speaker
Oh yeah i watch the new wednesday wednesday adams series which has catherine zeta jones playing morticia luis guzman is catherine zeta jones plays morticia
00:19:32
Speaker
Yeah. And Louise's mom plays Gomez and Fred Armisen plays. Louise Gomez plays what? Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah, it's more accurate to the original like comic book of the way like the design is and stuff like that. Oh, I didn't I didn't even know it started off as a comic book. Yeah.
00:19:54
Speaker
Yeah, I did way back in the day. Jennifer taking place Wednesday, Adams and. Yeah, she looks great. The makeup is everything. Yeah, she's perfect. Gwendolyn Christie plays like the principal and then Christina Ricci plays like one of the teachers at the school as well. That was the thing I did notice because like I I haven't actually like sat down and watched the full episode. Obviously, if I didn't know who he's guzm on.
00:20:21
Speaker
Katherine Zia Jones, what characters in it? I haven't, but they're only like two episodes maybe. So yeah. Yeah. Well, Rebecca has been watching it and I often will like listen to it if I'm in the next room. So I'll like walk in. If I hear something cool, like.
00:20:37
Speaker
a guy guy's dick, like eaten off by piranhas. It's like the opening scene. So like I was like, what the fuck is all that screaming? So I went in, like, you know, I was able to see like how they had like Jenna Ortega set up. And I saw the scene where she was like fencing some girl or something like that. They were like,
00:20:58
Speaker
Some kind of reminded me of Harry Potter, the school that they were at, sort of, because there's for like freaks and geeks and the basic plot is like, she like, you know, uh, gets that swim guys, uh, you know, Dick like bitten off by the pros because they were messing with somehow she's not juvenile. Yeah.
00:21:19
Speaker
And well, because they have the Gomez's have like influence, I guess. And so instead of being charged wherever she gets sent off to like a school for outcasts like her. They're very wealthy, right? The Addams family was like very, very wealthy. Yeah.
00:21:37
Speaker
And yeah, they have like hands and stuff. And yeah. And she has like this, like, you know, like scene power as well. And I just like, I mean, I enjoyed the show, but at the same time, it felt way too much like the Chillin Adventures of Sabrina. We're like, I never.
00:21:56
Speaker
I know you don't watched it, but I but it's basically like, you know, this teen girl who has these powers goes to the school for other kids like her, even like the the the school rival that she has, you know, the person that you saw her fence with. Yeah. Look very similar and act very similar. Like, really? Yeah. And like, yeah, they they even team up at one point. You know what I mean? So like, oh, well, I can't. I thought it was a little bit similar to that. I want it more like.
00:22:25
Speaker
And not like, when I say like, I want it more Am's family, I don't necessarily mean like, more of like the whole family, which is always nice, because like, I thought everyone was really great. But I just mean, I want it to have that more feel where it's like, she's the outcast in a normal society. You know, kind of like the original Am's family were like, they were the only weird ones. And like, they had to live in like this normal world.
00:22:52
Speaker
And everyone kind of looked at them strange where like I didn't like the fact that like she went to like a place where like there was other people that were like werewolves or vampires and like other stuff like that. I was like, that's not what Adam's family is. You know what I mean? But other than that, I still enjoy the show. But that kind of crushed me because I was in the other room and Becky's yelling. She's like, Brandon, Brandon, Brandon, come in here, check this out. And I'm like, oh, I was looking forward to it. I'm thinking this whole thing. She had paused it and hit play.
00:23:22
Speaker
And I thought it, I guess like a Wednesday's roommate is a werewolf and she had rainbow claws. And I was like, you called me in here for fucking that. Like that's extremely fucking big time. And you were the person that clarified me that she had, I guess.
00:23:42
Speaker
painted her claws. Well, no, she painted her nails and she couldn't fully transform as a as a werewolf yet. So like that's why she was kind of there at that school and like she could only bust out her claws. She was like at that school to learn how to transform into a werewolf. Yeah.
00:24:00
Speaker
Oh, okay. And that's where like your parents had sent her, you know, because they were like, oh, you'll learn, you'll be with other people, other werewolves like you, and hopefully you'll, you'll know, you know, transformers kind of like going through puberty. You'll figure that whole thing. Yeah, I don't see that girl, that girl.
00:24:18
Speaker
turning into a werewolf, but whatever. She did by the end. But the one parallel thing I had noticed, and this is what ties into Yellow Jackets, is that Christina Ricci's character from I did watch some of her and I was like telling Becky, I was like, that's like basically her exact character from Yellow Jackets.
Christina Ricci's Roles Compared
00:24:42
Speaker
So I was wondering if like when they approached
00:24:45
Speaker
Richie to do it. They were just like, yo, you know, could you just basically take that character from yellow jackets and just carry it on over and, you know, instead of being like, you know,
00:25:00
Speaker
a psychotic nurse, you're a head mistress of, or, you know, a teacher at this school. But you told me. She definitely has a darker side and she's more involved in the story than just a teacher. I didn't see that far along so I didn't know.
00:25:16
Speaker
I thought she was just like a normal teacher, but when you said that she had a darker side, then, yeah, she pretty much just took the character from Yellow Jackets and just moved. She even was like dressed to her the same as she was in Yellow Jackets. So there was like a parallel there. But, hey, that's cool. I mean, hey, it worked for fucking Johnny Depp. Like when he was Hunter S. Thompson,
00:25:43
Speaker
Uh, and he got the call to do pirates of the Caribbean. They were just like, Hey, uh, we're basically looking for the character. You play this Hunter S. Thompson, but instead we want you to be an eccentric pirate and the hearts of Caribbean franchise did very, very well. And Johnny Depp pretty much went crazy from that point on.
00:26:01
Speaker
Yeah, it seemed like once I think I feel like you followed Hunter S. Thompson along around too much. We're like that kind of way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He got way too invested into that character. Yeah. And then, you know, and then at some point married Amber Heard. We will never, ever talk about that on this. Yes. But is there anything, anything else?
00:26:28
Speaker
noteworthy that you've seen recently other than Pearl that we were going to mention? Well, I had mentioned Pearl a little while ago. I know you just got around to it. It was still on theaters.
00:26:40
Speaker
I think it's going to be available soon, but I watched the menu for Thanksgiving and bones and bones and all for Thanksgiving. Yeah, I planned on doing. I wanted to do a double feature of the menu and bones at all, but I didn't get a chance. I ended up watching bones at all a couple of weeks later. Now, did you see this in theaters? Yes. Okay.
00:27:05
Speaker
Yeah, Bones at all is, you know, described as like a drama horror romance.
Film Discussion: Bones and All
00:27:10
Speaker
I would say it was heavily more of a romance first and a horror very second. Like the basic plot is like a young woman who like, you know,
00:27:24
Speaker
she's a cannibal and she like and she falls in love with a lot of cannibalism going on and yeah and she falls in love with like Timothy Chalamet who is also a cannibal and they're kind of like you know uh doing like they're like they're like they're not stranded anywhere they're cannibal because they prefer to be cannibal
00:27:46
Speaker
that they're just born that way and they need to like they can they're like when they're born like when he goes I get they never really say like at like why they are that way that's just like it starts off with her and her father
00:28:02
Speaker
and are together she she doesn't know her mother and her father like just leaves after the most recent incident where she was like you know attacked one of her like students that like us or one of her classmates that like a sleepover so like they have to move again so the father already knows like
00:28:20
Speaker
Um, she's done this before and like leaves her video, like leaves her cassette tapes to like, listen to, uh, like kind of being like, Hey, you don't remember this, but this is kind of like, this is where it first began. And this is, so she doesn't need to like necessarily eat all the time, but she still has this craving for it. Like she can, they actually need to feed. So like they're born and right off the bat, like they realized.
00:28:45
Speaker
The only way they get nourishment is by eating human flesh. No, no, it's no, they can eat regular food. It's just they have a craving for it and they can't get away from it. It's kind of like an allegory for addiction in a lot of ways. So like they're born with this addiction. They're born craving human flesh from a very young age. Yes. And they're aware of that. So it's like
00:29:07
Speaker
If like being born gay, like you're born into cannibals. Yeah. And like she meets like one other, like older gentleman along the way who can like smell her from a distance as like, I recognize your smell as another meat eater. So it's almost like they're like vampires or werewolves or something. Like they can detect their own kind. Like, yeah. You have this thing like, yeah.
00:29:35
Speaker
Yeah, and then then she meets Timothy, Timothy Chalamet, who I thought was really great in this movie as well. But yeah, then like they kind of go on like this, you know, cross country thing where like, you know, she she's going to look for her birth mother.
00:29:50
Speaker
um to see like if that was one of the reasons behind it and stuff like that but it is heavily a romance movie i don't want people going in thinking it's it's a straight-up horror it is more of a romance like love story drama first drama cannibal with like it's cannibal backstory it's variant is very and oh and it's by the guy who who uh did the remake of uh sesperia
00:30:16
Speaker
Luca Guadagnu or LMAO say his name, but the one that Dario Argento so eloquently patronized. Yeah. Yeah. So like, you know, his visual style, it looks it looks really good. What about what about what about the soundtrack? How how how is the music?
00:30:36
Speaker
Music's good. Yeah. Everything about this movie was really good. I'm going to I'm going to check that. It's worth checking out. I just don't want you to be like, oh, hey, that wasn't really that hard. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. No, I get it. It's definitely more of a romance. Yeah. No, I'm I'm I'm cool with that. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, I like to I'd like to discuss Pearl, I guess, in a little bit more detail.
00:31:00
Speaker
You might have to do a whole nother castle. You got a little bit heavy. That's where I was going. I was going to say, I really enjoyed Pearl. I'd like to talk about it a little bit more in depth, but I'm thinking maybe like,
00:31:18
Speaker
our end of the year wrap-ups. We could maybe like discuss that a little bit more because it's definitely like worthy of discussion. I did not enjoy it as much as X. I don't know if your opinion. Oh yeah, I liked X better, but me at golf was really good. We'll do a whole other pass on that. I want to talk about the menu real quick. Yeah, it was, I'm just wanting to say, I thought I really enjoyed it and
00:31:45
Speaker
We haven't forgotten. It's definitely something we're going to discuss in greater length. But yeah, what's the menu? The menu sounds like it would have been the Cannibal film. You would think, but I don't want to spoil it, but it's not. The menu would be a good title for, you know what I mean? Yeah. So that's why I thought they were both going to be like Cannibal movies, but the menu is not a Cannibal movie, but it is with
00:32:11
Speaker
Ray finds is like this eccentric like chef who like, has like this private like island that people like pay a lot of money to go like try this guy's food. You know it's like basically it's like Jeffrey Epstein's island but instead of underage girls are serving.
00:32:30
Speaker
wild game no it's like uh it's like you know a bunch of food snobs you know that like that pay a lot of money to go eat like you know this this highly you know uh held up like chefs like you know he always does like a theme around his menu and like and is the food like normal food or is it like
The Menu Movie Insights
00:32:53
Speaker
Crazy eccentric like it's eccentric food, but it's like everything that like is is unnaturally like made from the island and like he tells a story with his like each menu and each time it's each time it's a different story like
00:33:12
Speaker
One of the characters has done it like has done like it five or six times he's gone out there, but it's like the main the main characters are Nicholas Hall and Anya Taylor Joy.
00:33:25
Speaker
Uh, uh, they go to the, uh, Island and he's like this super foodie and she's like not really into it. And like, and then it kind of becomes a, uh, thing about like the chef and his like cooks versus like the people that are there eating this food. And like, he has like ulterior motives for everybody. And like, so like the, yeah, it's really, it was really good. I really enjoyed it. Like, and Nicholas halt, like the whole time, even when like, um,
00:33:55
Speaker
Ray finds is like, you know, giving like these speeches and like, like characters are like, you know, dying real eccentrically. Nicholas is kind of like, yeah, this is really good. Like, like his like, his like passion for like, how into like the fucking food he is, is like so fucking like, like,
00:34:17
Speaker
like does he doesn't care about like what the show is or who's dying I'm just trying to get an idea of like what he they're not like serving anything like it's not like Indiana Jones and the temple of doom no it's like oh a chilled monkey brain it's like it's like store the normal stuff but he just like prepares it like very eccentrically yeah like
00:34:40
Speaker
It's like we wanted one of the one of the because I think it's like five or six different items will come out and like each one has like a little story and one of them is like bread without the bread and it's just like the side. Yeah, it's really like fancily done.
00:34:58
Speaker
Yeah, so it wasn't like a wild game menu or anything. No, but then there's like real weird. John Leguizamo is like this movie star or like this aging out movie star that there and like there's like food critics there as well and like
00:35:14
Speaker
And then Nicholas Hall and then like these other like characters and everyone. And this is like a very exclusive event where you have to be like invited out to the island. Or is it like for the rich and powerful? You have to be invited and it costs like twelve hundred a head to go. Oh, you take like a boat and it's a boat out to like this island. That's not it's not that far out there, but it's very exclusive. Like you can't even pay your way in. You have to be invited. Like you have to be invited and you have to pay.
00:35:43
Speaker
Yeah. OK. Yeah. And then like you can't get off the island unless the front unless you get on the boat. So like there's definitely a. I think it's definitely worth it. I recommend it. A hundred ahead isn't like that crazy. You know, it's not like a million dollars. Eat the kimono dragon. No. But I mean, but the exclusivity comes from the fact that you need to be invited. Yeah. You need to know. Yeah, that's cool.
00:36:11
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. That's definitely something now have to, I love right. Fine. Yeah. Oh, it's definitely worth checking out. I thought it was great. It was, it was definitely one of my favorite, uh, movies that I watched recently, at least in the, in the horror genre, actually hard and, and beyond. I thought it was one of my favorites. So movies are now at the top of my list.
00:36:32
Speaker
Yeah, of things to check out. The only other thing I I don't even know if this is really worth mentioning.
Exploring Severance's Sci-Fi Themes
00:36:40
Speaker
I'll just say very quickly is there was a show called Severance that I had been trying to check out for a while. Oh, yeah, I want to check that out, too. It's on Apple TV. Yeah, I thought it was a comedy and I started watching it. And yeah, it's definitely not. I don't know if it's like horror, but it's definitely sci fi.
00:37:02
Speaker
And I think it's probably something that we'd be, there's like, um, mind manipulation, uh, vibes of like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. If you remember that where like people like go into work and their work is apparently so sensitive that they have like this implant in their brain and it wipes them clean every time they leave work. So.
00:37:27
Speaker
In their mind they're always at work like don't show up and see that their clothes have changed because when they're at work, they remember everything when they leave work they forget everything when they go back to work, they then remember everything again.
00:37:43
Speaker
So they basically have like two personalities, an Audi and an Inny. And that's how it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I heard that the story and everyone that I've talked to says it was really good. I just went in expecting it to be a comedy with, um, I can't think of the name of the lead actor. He was, he's been in tons of stuff, mostly comedies. Uh, he was in parks and recreation.
00:38:09
Speaker
I want to say, yes, Adam Scott. Yeah, he's great. And, you know, you know him from comedy, but this was definitely not a comedy. But other than that, yeah, I mean, on my list of stuff, I plan to finish that out and I'm going to check out the movies. You recommend it. But
00:38:31
Speaker
That's pretty much where I am.
Conclusion and Holiday Wishes
00:38:33
