Welcome and Introduction
00:00:00
Speaker
going holy shit
00:00:20
Speaker
Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Hazardous Opinions. I believe this is Ashley's second episode joining us now and Eric's back. Thank God we found him. Hey, guys.
00:00:33
Speaker
Yeah, there he is. So I wasn't really happy with my intro last time. Don't worry. I'm going to do a lot better. I was a little out of practice, but today we're going to cover some horror and a little bit of comedy. And with coming into the summer, it really does match the feel of this horror comedy, thankfully. So hopefully you guys will enjoy that.
Film Introduction: 'Totally Killer'
00:01:00
Speaker
So the movie we're covering today is totally killer from 2023 and it is a prime original. So it is streaming on there for free on letter boxed. It's a 3.1 out of five stars. So pretty good above 50% doing great.
00:01:22
Speaker
Yeah, this one's a pretty recent one, one of the 2023 hits that I did not get to until recently, directed by Anachka Khan, director I'm not familiar with. But we have some good young talent in here as well, Kieran and Shipka as our protagonist Jamie, Olivia Holt, and Charlie Gillisby being some of our bigger names. And like Hunter said, this one's on Prime Video.
00:01:49
Speaker
So for those of you that haven't seen this yet, this is a wonderful Back to the Future slasher-ish horror comedy. So we have the Sweet Sixteen killer who kills a lot of people in 1987, and then many decades later decides to return for another kill, the mother of Jamie, our protagonist.
Time Travel and 80s Nostalgia
00:02:13
Speaker
And then Jamie decides to go back in time from her genius very plot convenient friends time machine and try and stop the murders. And we get some very interesting back to the future time travel issues from there. So what do you guys think of this movie?
00:02:33
Speaker
All right, I'll go, even though it's my pick and all nerves are on me. So I'd give this movie an eight out of 10. I would say it's not perfect. But actually, that's one of the aspects I love about it.
00:02:51
Speaker
Like it's horror comedies are very tough to get just perfect. Like that 10 out of 10. So this one, I just felt good at an eight after I'm not even going to do any points like 0.5 or anything.
00:03:06
Speaker
But yeah, I really enjoy this movie and it means a lot because my wife and I both discovered it together and she never watches horror at all. So that's a little more special and she really enjoyed it. So kind of sticks in my mind because of that. But Ashley, what do you think? I'm giving it a 7.8 and I'm. Do I want to tell you why I'm taking like two points from an eight?
00:03:34
Speaker
Yep. Describe as much as you want about it. Yeah. Because of the CGI blood in a couple of scenes. Damn it. Taking away two points. Takes you out of it, man. Yeah. I understand. I understand. So seven point for me. Okay. And I really enjoyed it because I'm biased and I love stuff that takes place in the eighties.
00:03:57
Speaker
That's a big up for it. I agree. That's a big positive. Even though it was clearly written by someone who probably was not physically there in the 80s. No, no. I mean, I'll get into points later. Same, but I still like. Yeah, the 80s vibe. That's a good topic to talk about with this movie. Andy. Yeah.
00:04:18
Speaker
I'll go and then we'll hear what Eric thinks. And I'm actually agreeing with Ashley here. I think 7.8 is like perfect rating for this. Just below the 8 level. My issues aren't with the CGI blood though. Mine is with the jokes that don't land throughout this movie. They're just a little...
00:04:38
Speaker
a little too many of the the same type of joke um but i i really like this movie i'm obsessed with time travel and uh like 80s music so this was a really fun slasher eric
00:04:53
Speaker
I'm going to go with Hunter on this. I thought, I think it was a really good movie. I'll go with the eight and reason because like, uh, I am a big fan of like time travel and. Stabby movies. Um, and this is a perfect blend of both happy day. It was great. And, um, I'm just, yeah, I'm a big fan.
00:05:17
Speaker
Well, this might be the closest we've all been in ratings in like any movie. Just so everybody knows we didn't meet up with each other and be like, okay, yeah, you and I match up and you and I match up. That's kind of a little funny. I think we're on teams here. So is this how we're going to fight during the episode? Between a point two rating difference. Perfect. Okay. Yeah. Eric, we can take them, right?
00:05:40
Speaker
Yeah, we got this. All right. Awesome. We're physically in person, so we could definitely take you. Shit, Eric, I'm screwed. I'm on my way. Drive all the way. Come on. It's not going to take that much time. I might be alive by the time you get here. Oh, it's on site. It's on site. All of y'all, we're going.
00:06:04
Speaker
Can we start this out with talking about podcasts and movies being that we're on a podcast?
Podcasts in Films and True Crime
00:06:10
Speaker
I love that this is becoming such a thing. YouTube hasn't blown up in movies as much as I thought it would be. It's like podcasts, like all the Godzilla and Kong movies. That's a central thing. Only Murders in the Building. That's all a true crime podcast.
00:06:26
Speaker
And we get our Dubasage, Chris Dubasage, who's doing his podcast, going everywhere around. Dubasage. What kind of name is that? It felt very real. I'm like, yeah, True Crime podcast would be doing that touring around the city it happened.
00:06:46
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, since the movie opens up with the podcast aspect, and it's not like a cold open, like a lot of slashers like, you know, take screen with Drew Barrymore, and she gets killed. That's like the whole sequence in the beginning. But this you start off in the town, the whole feel of the town, and the podcast. So like, what I put in my notes about the podcast,
00:07:16
Speaker
was it kind of touches on the good side of true crime and the interest in it, but as well as how people expose it in negative ways at times too. You know, there's that kind of gray line that you feel there already that they're commenting on in the writing.
00:07:36
Speaker
Yeah. With the, uh, Angie wanting more, more death. Exactly. Exactly. Like it goes along with the, we'll get there, but the murder of one of the motive of one of the killers. Um, I, when it opened up, I loved the claymation miniatures that depicted the crimes that were happening. It reminded me of hereditary. And I also just love miniature stuff and making miniature stuff and sculpting in general. Yeah. So I really loved the little aspect of it and it was cool.
00:08:05
Speaker
It was nice how it glossed. That's not a right word to use, not glossing over, but kind of getting us into what happened in the town in a nice edited. I agree. So I, I get you. But back to Angie, I thought she was hilarious for saying that because I'd also think of more people thinking of a serial killer and not a spoiler or anything, just bringing up a plot point. But at the end of the movie.
00:08:37
Speaker
after the timeline was changed, there was six murders. There was six deaths in the movie. There was six like total. I guess if you count the killers, right? Yeah. That's very true. It's not from the serial killer. He didn't kill six people, but she was like, I was thinking like six or something. That's actually good pickup. There was six.
00:08:59
Speaker
Yeah, it was probably intentional. Yeah, probably. I definitely picked up a lot more when I watched this through the second time that I missed, like same her conversations with her parents originally and then her using that when she meets the younger versions. Now I'm like, oh, now I actually know what to listen for when she was about to reference it. So. Oh, very true. Yeah, I do. There's some more connections with typically like.
00:09:26
Speaker
her dad being like saying like, I was buff when I was younger. Yeah. And then you actually see it. And then I didn't pick that up the first time when I watched, it wasn't until the second time like, Oh yeah, he was really buff. I thought it was funny that he dressed up as Zac Efron for Halloween. Right. And like, I love.
00:09:43
Speaker
It's kind of jumping ahead, but it is a little part when she meets her dad. And it's that whole edit between the younger version and the older version wearing that muscle shirt. It's just so funny that it's like, that's his body.
00:09:58
Speaker
I actually kind of like the back and forth when we're doing screenshots. It's almost like a little bit of holding the viewer's hand, be like, oh, yeah, this is this person. Don't you remember? But like when we're introducing the Mean Girls, the the Molly's. And it flashes forward to each of their their deaths and stuff to remind you who they are. I liked all that. I do, too. It wasn't too much hand holding. Did you guys feel the Molly's were obviously a nod to the Heathers.
00:10:27
Speaker
Do you guys watch that movie? I haven't seen the movie, but I get what you're talking about, especially since it's an 80s. I actually I know they had like little flashes of the past selves and the present selves. But I wish I got one more because. I had to think of who the the cop was to the cop girl, the Randall Park Randy. Yeah, the Asian actor, Asian Jim.
00:10:55
Speaker
Asian Jim. Asian Jim. Yeah. Randall Park plays Asian Jim in the office. I think his name is Lynn in the movie. Yeah. The one where it's the girl with the unflattering haircut when she's insulting her. Yes. Yep. That goes up to be the sheriff. That's that's her dad. There you go. Yep. Yeah. Her I kept thinking was she was one of the mean girls. I was like, oh, wait, no, she's not being targeted.
00:11:20
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, kind of same. You do get mixed up a little bit. But like you said, Andy, rewatching this definitely helps connect all the characters because like this opening kind of opening to the movie helps introduce us to the townspeople as well. Like they kind of slowly get introduced and you feel like it's an actual community. Like these people went to high school together all these years ago and they're still in the same town.
00:11:49
Speaker
you know, so like it's easy differentiating everybody on a second watch is what I am one watch. So I mildly struggled a little bit with that. Exactly. That's why I'm trying to say like, I totally get you if you're struggling with that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:08
Speaker
Yeah, I definitely did on the on the first watch where it was like I got the principal guy. I was like, OK, that's him. But it was the like the gym teacher. I think I was like, who is that guy in the winter in the past? I know who he was. Yeah. So because he's only got just the one scene, which is like crazy. Avoid the knife. Save your life.
00:12:42
Speaker
He's telling everybody to run as soon as they see the killer like no shit Yep. Thank you captain obvious. Yeah Yeah, definitely wonderful self-defense tips
00:12:54
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. Also, the cinematography, since like you kind of see how the movie is going to be in that sense, like the color grading and everything, I thought
00:13:09
Speaker
It was really clean and the camera movement was not too static and not too in motion. You know what I'm saying? Like too cutty. Yeah. And like all over the place. It was nice. And the cinematography, it's like clean and vibrant. And it kind of reminds me of Netflix stuff, but it does it in a better way. I have something perfect to add to that. Aha. OK. You know, I told you Ryan left me alone so I can do my homework.
00:13:38
Speaker
Yeah. He walked into the house and he tuned in on the first chase scene with Jamie. Yeah. No, with Jamie. Oh, sorry. I'm jumping ahead a little bit. Okay. At the carnival. No, you're fine. At the carnival. And he was like, now looks like a sci-fi original. The way it looks.
00:13:54
Speaker
And I was like, no, it doesn't. He's not as bad, though, just a little bit. I was like, not as bad as Exodus believer, right? He's like, no, no, no, no. No, just my first glimpse of it. It looks like it's shot like that. So like in the same thing, same, same, but different. Yeah. Yeah. OK. It didn't bother me that much. I still love the vibrancy. So I liked the light tone that they took with the murders and stuff, like with how they framed the camera, like especially with with Pam Hughes.
00:14:23
Speaker
Jamie's mother at the beginning it was like like the few static shots like you talked about and they had the one on the back door It was almost like a comedic shot of him coming in Yeah, and like yeah, at least I laughed at it. I thought it was just very silly but I like she took it very light-hearted the whole time like she's like you don't think I prepared for this and pulls out the gun and I'm like this was exactly how Jamie Lee Curtis in the new Halloween should have been I
00:14:50
Speaker
That's in my notes and Jamie's actually named after Jamie Lee Curtis. Really? Yes. I believe it. But I literally have Jamie Lee how in 2018 vibes in my notes. Yeah. I wonder if her other name at the end is another reference, maybe Tony Collette or something.
00:15:06
Speaker
Oh, when her name is changed at the very end when she gets a new name. Yeah, well, because everything changed, she ended up having a older brother, an older gay brother, and her name was not James. He was Jamie now because he was former. I'm your mother. Yeah. Yeah, I did notice something fairly in the beginning ish.
00:15:33
Speaker
after Jamie's mom was killed, um, they were talking about on the news that all their last names were as Hughes and Pam, Jamie's mom was dressed as Molly Ringwald and later on John who's directed breakfast club. Yep. And then the four Molly Ringwald's at the party. Oh yeah. And I have one more breakfast club reference that I caught on to Vernon high school. Like the Vernon was the town principal Vernon, the breakfast club.
00:16:02
Speaker
Wow. You picked up a lot. I love the breakfast club and I recently watched it as well. So I picked up on a lot of that. I've only seen it twice, but I, I do enjoy that movie. I think I need to rewatch it again. I had one gripe, but not really a gripe. I thought it was kind of funny.
Time Travel Comedy and Plot Devices
00:16:20
Speaker
Um, okay. Was the, I was like, Oh, I love that their team is the devils. And then later on when Jamie goes back on the, it's like, uh, the Vernon red devils. And it's like a native American of just like, I depicted a huge nose, which is like a stereotype. It made me laugh. And I was like, well, don't like that that the devil's anymore, but just kidding. Cause it was actually really funny.
00:16:44
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Like what did Jamie say? She said, Oh, there's the blatant racism. I was waiting for that. Yup. Yup. That was like, see Andy, when you're talking about the comedy about this, since we're kind of on that line. Yeah. I felt like a lot of lines like that got me like that one got Ashley and I felt like her being self-aware to the changed times and everything.
00:17:09
Speaker
Like it's not such a pointing out to us like, Oh, Hey, look at what we're doing. It's just, it's kind of funny, like to plop somebody in there from the present and like, see how much has changed. Yeah. Like, like I get where they were coming from. It's like.
00:17:27
Speaker
Haha, like, look how far we've come now. Oh, and I did like the the Red Devil saying and then the the problematic t-shirt joke when she first steps out of the time machine. Yes. I was like, yeah, that's funny because you did see those even up to the early 2000s. You'd see that kind of stuff. It did not say female body inspector, though. It said something. They worded it was a different. Oh, he did. But it was the same. Yeah.
00:17:50
Speaker
And then he just kept going with that line of jokes, though. And I think those got tiring for me by the end. Like, what was it? The like unwanted touch or something at the party. And then she went on like a tirade about drunk driving. And I was like, OK, maybe it's a it's a little much. At least like the line delivery didn't hit for me in those later ones.
00:18:11
Speaker
One of them for me that I was like, okay, was, uh, when Jamie went back to the past and she was trying to go into class and the school staff was like, can you verify that? Or she's like, can you verify what is that? Or.
00:18:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. When she went up to the front desk. Yeah. She only just let her in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was so casual. Yeah. Actually, I really liked that the comment about TSA. Yeah. She's like, Oh, I bet flying in airports is just crazy right now or something like that. Very true. Yeah. Like just a random thought that would pop in your head when you time travel like that. I like that. That inner dialogue comes out.
00:18:52
Speaker
Yeah, that was one of the ones I liked. I just, yeah, maybe it was just the line delivery or something, or just too many of those little jokes, but like. It ran out of steam for you. The later ones didn't hit as much. Yeah. One, I can think of where I stopped my head. It was just DNA. What's that? I wrote that in here too. I was like, did they not have that part? Late 80s. I didn't look at the exact year. Yeah, actually the first year they started using DNA used to solve crime was 1986.
00:19:23
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So probably didn't make it to them because it was so new. Small town in Washington.
00:19:32
Speaker
That makes sense. Cause this took place in 1987, right? 87. 87. Yeah. So definitely didn't hit a small town. Yeah. Oh yeah. Like everybody knew everybody's like, it just had that feel. It's the perfect year though. And I think they did this so intentionally because back to the future is two years old enough where people know the references in the past.
00:19:53
Speaker
Yes. But scream and the other big slashers have not yet come. That was kind of a fun in between to set it. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. I like when she mentioned scream. She's like two killers like scream. She's like, oh, wait, that is not yet. Actually, you get out of my head. I have that in my notes, too. Of course, you know, I'm going to highlight scream. You're wearing a scream shirt. I am right now. We're not doing video episodes yet, guys. But if you could see me, I'm wearing a ghostface tee representing the horror today.
00:20:24
Speaker
Yeah. So I suppose we can go more in order. We're kind of jumping all around, but like, we, you know, we had stuff to say, had reason. So I was going to start with Jamie's dad, the actor of Lachlan Monroe. Did not know that was his name. That's an awesome name.
00:20:42
Speaker
I always I love him so much and everything he's in and I can never his name never sticks. Exactly. He sticks in my head like bench warmers scary movie. And also, oh, there's one more that I'm forgetting about white chicks.
00:20:59
Speaker
Oh, my God. Yeah, he's one of those. He's one of my highlights in white. He was really funny in there. Didn't you guys like light up when you saw him as her dad? Holy crap. Yeah, I mean, he's in a lot of he's in a lot. He's in a lot. Good crap. First. Yeah. He he's a really good that guy, I would say. I agree. Still.
00:21:19
Speaker
Yeah. Holy crap. Yeah, he's he's in a lot of stuff. He's got like three hundred credits. Oh, yeah. He's just he plays little parts here and there and then like pretty highlighted parts like those that I mentioned. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I love him, though. And like him as her dad. And then you also have her mom played by Julie Bowen. Julie Bowen. Thank you. Oh, my gosh.
00:21:48
Speaker
Julie Bowen. She has had my heart since Happy Gilmore. If you guys are big fans of Happy Gilmore. Was she in Happy Gilmore? I just recently watched that. She's the woman Adam Sandler Happy gets with. That's her. Oh. Mm hmm. And she's also in chibi Halloween. I know I recognized her. I should have to be Halloween after a couple minutes sending to revisit it.
00:22:10
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, no, she just I like her a lot. She seems just so nice and motherlike. So I'm just glad it was that team as her parents. It just it fit with Kiernan Shipka being Jamie. I don't know. It was nice. Yeah, I like Julie Bone. She's in some good shows I like. Yeah, I'm sure she's in more, but all that comes to me is like with Adam Sandler, you know. Yeah. So yeah, it was nice seeing her pop up again.
00:22:37
Speaker
I have a possible plot hole I wanted to run by you guys. See what your thoughts were. I would love for you to run it by us. So the Chris Dubasage spoiler talk, but, uh, he ends up being our secondary killer. And so he kills Pam Hughes to start assuming that's just cause she was also part of the mean girls. So that's probably why he picked her.
00:23:01
Speaker
But why even go after Jamie at all, like when he's going after her in the carnival? Like, does he not think that one murder is going to spark interest in the pod enough? That is a good point. I was like, why? It's like, why is he going for two kills right away and risking getting caught? Especially because Jamie didn't do anything to him. Yeah. Yeah. No, I also I didn't write that down, but I was thinking that too. I want to say it kind of has something to do. Like if you want three kills again or something like that was the only thing I thought of.
00:23:31
Speaker
Probably. I wonder who would have been the third Ben. Probably the friend. Yeah. Write down her friend's name. Yeah, her friend. I forgot the friend. I don't either. Amelia. Yeah. Amelia, there we go. Yes. She's a pretty good friend. She reminded me of Janie. She's a great friend. Well, I have in my notes like that mother daughter pairing. Her mom is awesome too. Yeah, they both really helped her out. Yeah. And like without asking, she was building that time machine with the intention to save her mom. Exactly.
00:24:01
Speaker
Yeah, like, she's like, just let me help you right away. Don't even have to talk her into it. Definitely. Also, thank you totally killer for introducing a killer eight minutes in to the movie. And still keeping the suspense and plenty of questions throughout. Honestly, like, it didn't wait
00:24:23
Speaker
Sometimes like after watching death proof, we don't get that kill of Rose McGowan until how long into the movie? Quite a lot of bar scene before we got there. Yeah. Yeah. So not faulting it like there. I'm just using that as an example, like he was just introduced and you had questions the whole time. Mm-hmm.
00:24:49
Speaker
Just enough character development to make you care for the mom and then get rid of her. Exactly. A great fight, like an actual legit fight. Yeah. That's what I love too. Like that was a different, it's not even cold open because it's not right at the beginning, but like the first kill is, yeah, it's nice that she's actually prepared and like ready to go.
00:25:13
Speaker
One thing they didn't address, which is weird because they addressed DNA in the eighties. She cuts him in the modern day. They just don't bring it up again. Like she gets one stabbing at Chris. Andy, stop being so goddamn picky. I got to pick these apart. If they're going to bring up DNA, like they have to keep it. Very true. Keep it on. Like if she would have waited a couple of days for however long it takes to get it back and could have figured it out and then go back.
00:25:43
Speaker
That's going to be haunting me now. Yeah, it would have been a whole other issue because she would have went back and been like, oh, this is the killer. It wasn't actually the killer. But that would have been an interesting thing to see.
00:25:54
Speaker
You want to know another really crazy plot hole that's been really grinding my gears? Yes, Eric. You were watching Robocop, which came out in 1987, but Robocop didn't come out on VHS until early 1988. Good catch. Is that for real? That's for real, man. Digging into the years.
00:26:19
Speaker
Oh my goodness. I didn't catch that. That's on the, that's on IMDB page. That's amazing. All right. Thank you. Yeah. That's, that's, I mean, that's cool though. I did like seeing all the, uh, VHS tapes, the physical media of the movies, even if I didn't watch them. Yeah, they were all eighties movies. I was like, no, no, no. And I was like.
00:26:44
Speaker
But I've seen that one, I've seen that, yep. And then at the very last one was Scanners by David Kern. I was like, yes. I was like, I got one. It had like all the essentials. Blade Runner. Blade Runner, exactly. Added to the 80s nostalgia and media kind of, you know, just having those planted there and like for movies fans watching a movie,
00:27:09
Speaker
You'll probably be like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, you know, like just going down the row. So that was, that was a nice addition. I thought it was an interesting thing that they wanted to watch, like probably at the time, one of the more violent 80s movies, like right after they just witnessed the death of their friend. True. Maybe that's not the way to cool down, but to each their own. But had to kind of keep the horror tone in the movie, I guess. Yeah, I get you.
00:27:35
Speaker
I mean, there is time travel in this movie, guys, so it's not really realistic, I suppose. Yeah. You're telling me I can't turn an arcade or a photo booth into a time machine? Son, I'm going to crush your dreams right now. No, don't tell me. She cannot.
00:27:57
Speaker
What? I'm so sorry. I did like at least the plot point. It wasn't just like, oh, Amelia is like a super genius and just whipped this thing up. Her mom has been doing this for working on it for decades and now she just finished it. Work done it.
00:28:13
Speaker
Yeah. Also because Jamie gave her the idea because she went back in time. So it's like, you're already like altering timelines because she went back in time. Do you think they remember her from like being back in time or whatever? They do. They do.
00:28:30
Speaker
I hate time travel movies. They don't make any sense to me. Sometimes I can relate to because I know you guys love Tenet, but I won't even watch it because I know I won't get it. I do not. Tenet. Yeah, no, Tenet's not even a good time travel movie. That's just weird.
00:28:46
Speaker
It's, uh, Christopher Nolan being smarter than us. Yeah. He knows it. No one. Sometimes I still didn't watch Inception cause I know I just won't get it. Inception. You might. Yeah. It took me so much dreams. Yeah. But yeah, just time travel movies though, in general, sometimes I'm just like, yeah, no, definitely. What were you saying about Randall Park, the sheriff though?
00:29:12
Speaker
In the movie, he says, oh, I hate time travel movies. I never make any sense to him. Oh, okay. You're relating to him. Yes. After he blows his cigarette smoke into Jamie's face. Yeah. Oh my God. That was one of the biggest things is secondhand smoke just being totally ignored. Everybody's smoking. Oh yeah. Like in buildings everywhere still.
00:29:35
Speaker
What I was going to get into about the time travel aspect about this, I'm kind of with Ashley that it drives me nuts at times because I'm a person since I've been a kid, I have asked a lot of questions about plots of movies and they need to make perfect sense in me, like in my mind.
00:29:55
Speaker
And I have to have it mapped out. If I love the story, I want to understand it fully. Right. That's how I am. Yeah.
Family Dynamics and Relationships
00:30:02
Speaker
So with time travel, this movie was refreshing because it's more of a basic time travel and they do not try and go in the analytics of it all. Yeah. It's not the time turner Harry Potter mess. It's just like you go back in time. It's the most simplest version of time travel, I guess. Yeah. Like time change stuff. Yeah. Now you go to the future. It's different.
00:30:25
Speaker
And there's no duplicate of yourself to come back to or anything like that. That's the weird thing, though, that Eric brought up the good point about is like, would there be a duplicate of her? Because she would have been born on a different date unless there's some weird stars align thing where she's exactly the same and she influenced her birth date.
00:30:45
Speaker
These are questions I also have when I think of myself going back in time. Because like she was technically reborn in the timeline before she came back. They would have experienced the birth of Jamie before she came back. So there is a second Jamie somewhere.
00:31:06
Speaker
You're making my brains split and they just don't acknowledge it, which is probably for the best, but yeah, they don't acknowledge it, but like they, like, she just comes back to the present and then everybody's like, Hey, good to see you as if nothing changed. Uh, and like, I don't know if she just like took over her.
00:31:27
Speaker
past self. I put quotes on that because technically there's herself that's going through time and then herself that's coming back from the past into the present. I think their explanation that resolves it is also something that kind of confused me for the other stuff where it was the Mandela effect is I think the past and the present and future, et cetera, are all happening at the same time.
00:31:55
Speaker
They're just happening in different parts of the river as they explained it. Like, cause when she was changing things in the past, it was influencing things in real time for the people in the present. And all of a sudden they were like, Oh wait, that didn't actually happen like that. Why am I remembering it different? She shouldn't be actively influencing them. She would have been completely erasing it in other time travel movies.
00:32:21
Speaker
oh okay i guess that makes sense because they did jump back and forth like that so that makes me think that herself goes back in time but really she's only gone she's actually gone from this timeline but when she comes back she's still herself in that timeline but like just went to a different part of the river what you're saying right
00:32:42
Speaker
Yeah, I kind of get what you guys are saying. I think, holy listeners, I hope you're still with us. She's probably only gone for like a couple hours. Yeah, that's what it seemed like.
00:32:54
Speaker
Yeah. Time travel just gets wacky, man. I thought it was funny when she was talking to Amelia and she was giving her like the gist of time. I think she was talking to Amelia, but she was like, I saw it in game, but it didn't really make any sense to me. Yes. I loved that quote. It felt like a very modern movie since they referenced a Marvel movie that took place not to. Oh, yes. When she's going back talking to the mother of the mom. Okay. Yeah.
00:33:22
Speaker
And she keeps referencing other movies. She's like, Oh, you haven't seen that yet. You'll see it. Yeah. Or the, uh, yeah. Talked about scream. How they thought like scream is just like, you think drew Barrymore's in it, but she's actually not. That was another good scream. But wait, you didn't see screen yet. I love that quote. I love some of the quotes in the self-aware.
00:33:47
Speaker
Things are different in the 80s to Kiernan Shipka's character, Jamie. Can we jump to when she goes back? Like when she first gets there? Yeah. I think we're there in this story if you'd like to. Yeah. I thought the... Oh, I remember when this was present day when they had the science fair at the carnival. We need more carnival scenes in movies.
00:34:13
Speaker
Ryan, when Ryan came in, he was like, nope. When he said it looked like a sci-fi original, I think it reminds me of the one with that, the lady with the short hair at the carnival. And I was like, hellfest? And he was like, yes. Oh my God. Yes, actually. But yeah, carnival. And then when they got there is when I noticed that I did not have my sink lights on. Oh, sure. So I made sure to turn them on for the carnival scenes, because that's when I noticed that the colors were not showing. Yep, yep. That could be a good part to do the sink to.
00:34:42
Speaker
was Amelia's mom's name. Lauren. Lauren. When she was like, I need to talk to you. And she finds her in the classroom. Yeah. And so she's from the future and whatever and pulled out her iPhone. And Lauren is like, is this the time machine? Could be. I mean, technology has come a far away. Yeah. 20 years of movies that would be the time machine.
00:35:07
Speaker
Oh, definitely. Ashley, I was going to say to again, get out of my head because I had that in my notes with the amusement parks. We need more movies with the amusement parks. I love and I just like scenes that I don't know if you guys watched Euphoria, but the whole carnival scene.
00:35:24
Speaker
Yeah, that was good. I was just thinking about that too. Here we go. Yeah. I feel like we get a lot. Like I've seen a lot in later recent movies, like us. It's like all carnival stuff. Oh, that was in the beginning. Yeah. When they go and it's like going through everybody, it kind of reminds me of the Lost Boys when they get to Santa Carla and it's like going through like on the boardwalk.
00:35:48
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Lost boys. We got to cover that one. We probably should. We probably should. I mean, hey, is that about vampires? It is. Yes. Shut it. That's that's what I heard. And they like they like eat people. Like with with knives and shit. No. What? Maybe I got mad until you haven't seen lost boys. I haven't.
00:36:15
Speaker
Well, you need to. It was sitting on the shelf at my mom's house. And then I like this is like I'm just trying to go into memory of like what I know about it, which is not much. I looked at the case and I got the vibe that it was like vampires and shit. So. Well, there's some great carnival scenes in that one. That's very true. Vampire movies. Yeah. Yeah. Daybreakers. Daybreak. I haven't seen that one. Oh, I have it. I haven't seen it, though. No, I'll say blade.
00:36:43
Speaker
Oh, maybe the new blade or the old and new blade. Yes. Oh my goodness topic episode. Daybreakers is fun. I think that's what it's called. It is very, very bloody. It's awesome. Okay. I do like well done vampire movies. I'm down for that. Why 16 stab wounds going back to like the kilos itself.
00:37:04
Speaker
I mean, he just wanted to be memorable because there wasn't that many, people aren't usually stabbed that much and they were 16 years old and it was just to make his signature or something. It was a cheesy little calling card that they put in there. I think it was self-aware with that, the sweet 16 killer. Yeah, very catchy and memorable. Exactly.
00:37:25
Speaker
I'm wondering if it's like the first one was just a crime of passion, happened to be 16 on 16. So they called him that. And then the second and third murders happened. You just went with it.
00:37:36
Speaker
That was my theory. I did think the mask looked a little like Beavis. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, I was going to say about the mask. I just had a little note just like Happy Death Day kind of matches the tone. That's what I was thinking. I had Happy Death Day vibes for sure. Like a very silly mask. Exactly. I think they were aware of that too. And it was he felt like a cartoon character, but like a brutal cartoon character like he was very cold. The original killer, I can't remember his name.
00:38:07
Speaker
Oh, he ended up being the principal guy. The principal. So like like watching this the second time was going back and like reviewing scenes with him, knowing it like when he's the hall monitor and he's outside with the van talking to the two kids.
00:38:24
Speaker
I was like, he's just so cool about it. Yeah, he has no sign of derangement or anything. Doug, Doug, Doug, Doug, like he's like, no, you guys are safe with me. Like he says the right things that should be red flags, but he said like he has such a good inflection about it.
00:38:42
Speaker
Yeah. He's like, yeah, to karate and stuff. And like, he's giving you the info to know, but like he's not saying it in a weird way to obviously tip you off. Yes. Kind of comparing it to ski Erlich as.
00:38:56
Speaker
Billy and scream. His lines are like pointing at him and he says him creepily. But like with Doug, he is he seems like a genuine nice guy. Yeah. And he's not on your radar at all. And then he becomes the principal. So like that was one of the questions I had was because he died in the past. He was no longer the principal. Yeah, he was not. OK, so that's why I was trying to. But he was.
00:39:26
Speaker
He was, and then he was killed. He's, then he wasn't. Yeah. Okay. And so people probably had a memory of him being the principal. He wasn't. Okay. Got it. Yeah. Once he's killed in the past. Sorry. That might've sounded confusing to anybody listening. Yeah. Time travel is wacky.
00:39:47
Speaker
Also, all across the board, the dialogue is easy to follow and keeps attention. I liked how even though there were quite a few characters in this movie, they all felt like their own, which was nice. Yeah. And their relationships were nice to see, even though.
00:40:04
Speaker
You have people like Randy, the flat top haired kid in the past. He was so mean and like gross, like kind of just a stereotypical bully. You know, who was he in the future? He was the gym teacher, the gym teacher. Okay. Okay. Got it. Yeah. So it kind of became a weirdo. I guess he didn't go anywhere. Like he still became just sports.
00:40:31
Speaker
Like, because he seemed awkward in the future, in the present, I guess. Very true. Yeah. Remember, avoid the knife, keep your life. Like, I could hear him buffoonishly saying that in the past. He did lose pretty much his whole clique with these murders, so kind of makes sense. He probably went on a completely different path. God, he's lonely. Yeah. Randy. Well, maybe he shouldn't have been a bully. Blake and Pam went off and hooked up, so he was alone.
00:41:01
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So I was gonna say with that point, it was really nice seeing that Jamie's parents, they were just meant to be together, even without her meddling. When she goes into the past, they seem to still want to get together. And she's like, No, no, don't. But they still do. You know, so like, I liked that. She didn't have to interfere too much.
00:41:30
Speaker
I feel like she did incidentally interfere by telling her that she was going to get with him. I think that's why she pursued him early and that creates the brother. Right, right. So it's funny how things change when Jamie gets back there. It wasn't their meet up. What was the story they always told?
00:41:52
Speaker
on the, the quantum ride thing. Yeah. The quantum leap ride in college. So her brother's like 20, 20 years older than her 19 years older. Yeah. So they get together younger now since Jamie went back. So it was nice. And with time travel movies, what I appreciate about time travel is not their confusing nature.
00:42:16
Speaker
but like a situation with Jamie seeing her mom and dad when they're her age and getting to know them that way and learning kind of what her parents see like through their eyes. She kind of gets their point of view after all this now and it was after like
00:42:36
Speaker
seeing her parents in the past. And don't we all kind of wonder how our parents were in the past, like kind of curious? So she got that opportunity to actually meet them. I thought it was pretty funny when she is introduced to her mom and her friends and stuff. And they're just like, oh, so horrible. Her mom was, I'm like, that's Pam. And yeah, I got two points. I was like, they probably deserve to die.
00:43:00
Speaker
Yeah, they're playing dodgeball or whatever. That should be nobody wants to hear how much you love your mom. That's in that's in my notes because I love my mom so much. And I'm like, too bad you're going to hear about it. Yeah, Eric, that was a good impersonation. Yeah, I felt so bad. She looks so good. Yeah, that sucks.
00:43:21
Speaker
Oh man. And like Pam is just whipping those freaking dodge balls. No problem. How is that move legal? She's like, she feels like a Regina George right away. And thank God she transforms into older Pam recognize young Pam from anything. I do, but where from did you watch cruel summer? No. Oh, I recognize her from cruel summer. The Hulu original with Kevin Smith's daughter.
00:43:48
Speaker
Oh, okay. That's where you've seen her. Yeah. Okay. I know I've seen her in other things. Olivia Holt. Olivia Holt. What else is she in? That sounds familiar. That's about it. Jimmy Kimmel Live. Yeah. Cruel summer, some, uh, the runaways, um, the runaways, Marvel thing. Yeah. Spider-Man animated. Like the Kirsten Stewart runaways? No, the Marvel runaways. Nope.
00:44:18
Speaker
The marble actually has nazi cloak and dagger. Oh, that was a summer for me. Yeah. She does some Marvel stuff. Um, and then, uh, Tiffany was obviously Quinn from scream six. Yes. Tiffany's the first to die, right? The red head. Yes. What's her name? I always like remember it. And then it leaves me. Liana Liberato.
00:44:38
Speaker
There we go. Liberado. All right. I need to keep that in my memory because she was good in school. Like you said, you know, there's a big cast in here because you got all these people from the present. You got their duplicates of the past. So you got just quite a huge cast jackets. Yeah.
00:44:57
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. True. It did feel like yellow jackets kind of. Yeah. Also Jamie's POV also stepping out of the photo booth right away. I just wanted to say it was done well.
00:45:11
Speaker
in all, you know. You mean how it looked like there was like a slight warp to the TV when she got out? Yes, yeah. And it does feel like a transformation of the set, even though it's like the same set. They just did the right changes to where you felt transported to the audience. The contrast was higher. It just was brighter. Yes, reminded me of Final Girls when they get transported to the movie. I love Final Girls. Yeah, me too. That's what it kind of the same thing I gave.
00:45:40
Speaker
I'll get to final girls later on. Yeah. The soundtrack for this movie, though, is killer pun intended. Literally. Yes. I did really enjoy this. Oh, yeah. The one that gets in my head every time is well, first we start off with.
00:45:56
Speaker
As soon as she steps out, it's Venus, I think it's called. I'm your Venus, I'm your fire. Oh, yeah. I mean, Michelle, I just watched that the other day. And then as the killing scene in the cabin was my favorite one. Very good. The whole music with that, as well as the choreography of the moves of everyone fighting the killer. Just amazing attention grabbing scene.
00:46:43
Speaker
That is probably my favorite sequence in the movie because as well as that kind of fight with the killer being choreographed well, and you can actually see what's going on. The camera movement is really well done. And the music choice keeps you just like you said, Andy, but also like the cabin feel.
00:47:04
Speaker
It feels like Friday the 13th or like some old slasher. Yeah, which is really I loved when they showed up there because then it really did turn into like a to me, I thought it was going to be like a whodunit because there's like the just the people that are there. Turns out it wasn't that but it made me feel like that it was going to be.
00:47:24
Speaker
It did. And it's probably good that they didn't go in that direction because it wouldn't have fit with the whole rest of the movie if you just all of a sudden switch it. And when I watch stuff like that, I don't normally try to figure out who the killer is. I just like you just sit and find out. Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:45
Speaker
I actually, Ryan's usually pretty good about predicting stuff. So whenever I found out that the three besties were the ones that got killed, it made me think, why are those three? Why the three best friends and the fourth friend Pam later? And then I tried to ask Ryan, but he wasn't with me. So I, while I was watching, so I tried to like explain it to him to see what his theory would be.
00:48:09
Speaker
But it was too big and he couldn't because he didn't know what the character is. But if he was watching with me, I would have liked to. So I'm wondering if he would have got it right, because he has like a weird intuition with that kind of stuff. They don't even drop the hints that much, like watching through this a second time, trying to pick up to see it. Like they mentioned Fat Trish Trish like once when she was listing off who could be peeved. But then they're like, OK, no, it was a red herring. It's not her brother.
00:48:38
Speaker
Yep. And then you don't actually find out till the killers revealed. Oh yeah. Yeah. That was the boyfriend. Yeah. We probably should have thought about him. Very true. Yeah. Yep. I get you there. I do have in my notes, I separated the killer's motivations and, you know, kind of looked at them like, are they too similar? Did we need two killers in this? But I feel like it did this.
00:49:04
Speaker
story some justice, I guess, or, you know, kind of a, kind of a nice cherry on it, you know, that it was two killers, and very far apart from each other, like, the principal was
00:49:22
Speaker
Yeah, the principal was killing when he was younger, was done. And then it was picked up by the podcaster. It's kind of funny how those overlap. Yeah. Yeah. It's one of those interesting ones where it's like, he's technically like a serial killer, but he met his motive. He's done. Like he got his three kills he wanted.
00:49:39
Speaker
Kind of a spree killer almost instead. Yeah. And then of course you get the podcaster that just wants to revive everything. And I thought his motives were a little weaker, but like it's still, it worked. Yeah. I think comparing the two motives, I do like Doug's motivation. I liked more for sure. Yeah. Instead of, Oh, and need to keep the podcast going. So is Doug the one who killed Tiffany?
00:50:06
Speaker
He kills the first three in the past. Yeah. I thought what was the, uh, music artist's name? Oh, that. Didn't he keep changing the band name? Yes, because he was going to get, he was going to like hook up with Tiffany in the past after Jamie said something. Yep. And then.
00:50:29
Speaker
You can cut this out if you want. But whenever they're making out, she was like, I have to use the bathroom. Too many BJs. And he's like, not room for one more. And she was like, oh, no, I don't do that. I'm like, what the hell BJs were you talking about? And if that wasn't that one. What they reference it on the way to the cabin for the second murder.
00:50:50
Speaker
he says i brought bj wine coolers okay okay okay yeah there's a play on yeah yeah i didn't catch that till the second time too i was like what is she talking about yeah and then i also like i caught it when uh
00:51:07
Speaker
He denied her whatever and she went into the bathroom and was just like, he's going to write a song about these. And then in the future, she gets killed on the waterbed. And then he changes his artist name to a waterbed away. Yes. That was horrible. He still wrote a song about her.
00:51:27
Speaker
I'm like, of course, you're going to draw some inspiration from this traumatic thing that didn't even happen to you, dude. I thought that was funny. He got more and more emo as the kills happened. Have you seen that in the background? Very true, yeah. Dark and soon. Yeah. From a rocker to just full emo. When they were commenting, when she said, you, I don't do those.
00:51:50
Speaker
You guys pee out of those things. That was a good addition and just such a funny open thing to say, like that somebody's probably thinking, you know, God, that was hilarious. And also that waterbed kill was actually a, obviously I'm not a psychopath and enjoy watching people die. But this fictional, obviously,
00:52:17
Speaker
murder scene is done well. The waterbed just added to it and had that 80s feel to it, too. Yeah, that was one of those things I completely forgot was now obsolete. I was like, oh, hey, waterbeds. I remember like those being in history. Right. Yeah. Do you remember those? Because like I feel like I remember. I think they were somewhere. They were when we were growing up for sure. I think I know. Yes. New.
00:52:43
Speaker
one family that had one, and I went on it once, that's it. Me too, but I can't remember exactly how it was for me. It's a funny childhood memory. But yeah, I liked that the water was going everywhere. When I think waterbeds, I like the scene on
00:53:00
Speaker
bride of chucky where she throws the wine glass up our wine bottle and it comes down with the glass i've seen that part like the water explodes with like the blood mixing yeah i love that part that's a memorable part water beds are just good to have in a horror movie i guess yeah so they're at the cabin yes
00:53:21
Speaker
And pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza. That's what I have in my notes. I have in my notes. I said, why would Jamie hide pizza? And they're all looking for it. They're like, she must've hit it. I was wondering about that. It was like, is weed actually more potent?
00:53:41
Speaker
Nowadays. Yes, it is. It is. Yeah. They were even commenting on that. Like Jamie was saying, I have notes on that too. Talked about it, but I didn't know if that was like a real thing. Like if weed was just not good in the eighties. Cause like she's like eight, five brownies and I'm like, it's not gonna be fucked up. Yeah. She's just like a roasting her weed and she's like, leave me alone. Leave my stash alone. She's like, I put a pound of weed in the brownies. I'll pound. He was so funny.
00:54:11
Speaker
Nowadays, that just sounds like death. Like it had no effect on Jamie at all. It could have a gummy with 100 milligrams in it. Exactly. Yeah. Just one gum. Like I can have a gummy like this.
00:54:26
Speaker
Now, that was hilarious. I like that little joke. I didn't like them like running around all stone, though. And like she's trying to get the future sheriff girl. I can't remember her name. Yeah. To let her in and she's just staring at her and you can tell she's just out of it. Oh, yeah. Looking for the pizza and. It. It pissed me off that they locked Jamie out of the cabin. The only sober person. And there's there's a killer on the loose.
00:54:54
Speaker
Yeah. Like when you guys, when she walks down the stairs and she's like, I can't remember what she says exactly, which is like, you guys like pretty much deserve to dive. This is like how you are. And then at that point I was thinking the same thing about them. Yeah, basically kind of commenting on like how eighties teens were in the eighties movies, you know, just so unaware of everything. And I think Pam, like.
00:55:19
Speaker
Constantly kind of gets shown is like she's not actually mean girl. She just I guess like round ran with the wrong crowd Yeah, yeah, she like pulls Jamie aside. I like that he could tell he just wants food and he's like Jamie's like I think she just wants us to be alone together like there's not actually pizza She's trying to like get him to go off with her and yeah Jamie just keeps trying to break it up through the mouth the movies like too horny cut it out and
00:55:44
Speaker
Yeah, I love how she had to get in that situation with her parents. It's just it's a weird thing to think about. You have to wait to make me. You have to wait to make me. Yeah, no, that was good. And also thinking about Pam, how Pam is to
00:56:06
Speaker
Jamie's grandma. That was kind of interesting that Jamie was able to see that relationship, how it was and why her grandma doesn't come around. And it was kind of mirroring Jamie and Pam's relationship where it was like Jamie's a teenager, leave me alone type of thing. Stop being so overbearing. And now Jamie gets to see that. I like that in stories and making the lesson worth it. I agree. I really like that too. And she was like, no wonder grandma doesn't come around.
00:56:36
Speaker
Exactly. She kind of like said that under breath. Like she just
00:56:40
Speaker
She's on the outside looking in now, which is nice. Yeah, you know. Yeah, I love all of the all of the interactions between Pam and Jamie in the past are just great. Like their relationship is very nice. It's not only like, oh, Jamie gets this opportunity, but like actually seeing it play out. The actors did. And like together when Jamie pulls some self-defense move on Randy and then Pam's like,
00:57:08
Speaker
How did you do that? And she's like, I want it for my mom. Yes, I love that part. I love that, too. Yeah. Thankfully, Jamie's a little more prepared to as a protagonist, and it makes sense because we saw what Pam did. Training her. Yeah, I like then like right after the dodgeball scene, too, when they're still kind of like at odds with each other, not friends yet. She's like, oh, mom, a mama sita. She does that twice in Spanish. I'm like, that's fucking awesome.
00:57:37
Speaker
I like when the first time she does it, her mom or Pam talks back to her in Spanish. It's like three years of Spanish bitch. Doesn't one of the friends say that? Oh, no, it was all Pam. Okay. By Pam. What did Pam like say three years of Spanish bitch? Okay. I thought one of the friends was like chipping in, you know? Yeah.
00:57:58
Speaker
Well, it was like cool things to learn. Like she probably didn't know that about her mom. Yeah. And how Kiernan Shipka delivers that. Mom. Mom, Masita. Aye, aye, aye. You know where I'm from birthday parties are considered so lame. Like, I don't know. Maybe you should cancel it. Maybe you should fuck off and die. Jesus, Mom. Masita. Aye. Aye, aye, aye.
00:58:28
Speaker
I miss it. Oh, habla es español esta bien pete a la miree more. Three years of Spanish, bitch. She calls her mom like four times. Yeah, it was. Yeah, she's slipping up. I mean, wouldn't you though, too? Yeah, I'm not used to calling my mom by her name or anything. Yeah, no. Or my dad. Weird. I have one tiny other pothole.
00:58:57
Speaker
that want to ask about. Of course. This is a tiny one. So Amelia's mom, Lauren, she can make a whole ass time machine or pretty much got it to the completion with her notes, but she can't convert some other type of charger to a phone charger in the past. That should be a simple thing for like how much science you're doing is conducting electricity into a phone. Yeah, that's true.
00:59:24
Speaker
I just thought that was an interesting like, oh, this is the time crunch we're being forced to, but it's like, shouldn't be a problem. See your plot holes you're bringing up, I think do kind of swim in the vein of me saying.
00:59:41
Speaker
that I gave this an eight and it's hard for horror comedies to be perfect. Especially when you're introducing a back to the future aspect to the story, you got to focus on that and like what else, you know, like there are going to be little plot things with time travel. You got to be careful. And I kind of just accept this movie how it is, but I do see your plot holes and they're good points.
01:00:05
Speaker
Yeah, if she doesn't start studying economics, I like that little one. Yeah. Right for the test on Wednesday or whatever it was. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's right. That would suck to be stuck in the past. You're going to live a great life because you know all the stocks to invest in and everything, but like you growing up and knowing that this isn't your world really, or you're 20 years too early for it. Yeah. Have you guys ever seen
01:00:34
Speaker
Pleasantville with Reese Witherspoon and Tobey Maguire and I get transported into the old TV series, the old black and white toys TV series. Damn. I added that to my watch list because I think you recommended it to me. That is a really good like present day people in a long time ago movie. Oh, kind of comparing to this a little bit. I would like that one. You will love it. I need to watch it. And you like Tobey. I like Tobey. I like Spider-Man.
01:01:03
Speaker
Correction. I don't know. I love spider-man, but yeah. Hot take. I prefer Tom Holland's over Toby. I grew up with Toby. I get it guys. Oh yeah. Yeah. I'll check that one out.
01:01:21
Speaker
Yeah, I'm excited for that one. I don't think I've watched it because I keep like seeing it on my watch list and I'm like, I can't wait to watch that, but I haven't found it on streamers that I have. Uh, last time I watched it, I rented it, I believe only for a couple of dollars. Okay. Maybe I should just rent it then. Cause William H Macy has a really, really good cast actually. Awesome. Yeah. He's a great actor. We just saw him in, uh, apes. Yes. We saw him in kingdom of the planet apes. Yeah. Monkey.
01:01:50
Speaker
Oh, it was so good, dude. I love the Apes trilogy. I quad quad trilogy, quad or no. Yeah. Quad quad quad. Yeah. I think they're making another three or four now with this new stuff. I think this is technically a new trilogy because Matt Reeves did the first three. Right.
01:02:13
Speaker
No, actually I corrected myself. Matt Reeves did not do the first one. The Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a different director did. He did Dawn and War, the two best ones. Okay. I think it's just referred to as the Reeves trilogy since he did two. Yeah. This is going to be the new director. That's how I've referenced it this whole time. And now I'm like, I'm an idiot. I didn't know. What?
01:02:40
Speaker
Well. We've been knowing that. What else? Guys, why did I bring her on? What else you guys got on the Totally Killer? Okay. Yeah, I can edit. I did have one funny thing that made me laugh. Yes.
01:02:57
Speaker
The boy, I didn't really retain who he was, but like the one that was kind of off to the side, he was like drawing like the stuff in the notebook and. Lurch. Yes. Lurch. He was the brother. He was the brother of Trish. Yeah. Fat Trish.
01:03:12
Speaker
okay that dog ended up being connected yes yes he's just a red herring killer well i thought it was really funny she was looking at his notebook in class and he just had like an just big scribbled letters shoot him in the head i was looking at that too i like paused to read his stuff i was like it's gonna be like a columbine shooter
01:03:32
Speaker
And wasn't it kind of lyrics to like from a band? I thought he mentioned that he likes listening to a band or something when they went into his band or something like that, possibly thought he was scribbling like lyrics and stuff. And then probably maybe some but that's got me laughing. Yeah, no, it was funny. I was gonna ask you guys. Well, I'll save that one for after our notes. Nevermind, because it's kind of a general one.
01:03:58
Speaker
Are we at the point where they're at the carnival for like the final fight scene? We should probably get to, yeah, the final like, yeah, let's do that.
01:04:10
Speaker
You have anything to add about it first? The colors inside the quantum drop. I loved it. And I remember a ride like that when I was a kid at the Minot State Fair. Oh, I loved it. I liked when Lauren was saying there's something to disrupt gravity. And then they look over at the thing and I know that ride as being the Gravitron. So I thought that was a nice little word play for me because that's what I know it is.
01:04:38
Speaker
Maybe they intentionally, because they couldn't take that name for it. Yeah, probably. And another quick thing about that is when the killer is walking sideways in there, that was one of the coolest scenes. That might be my favorite scene in the movie, I think. I liked the encounter in The Quantum Drop. I think they used the ride to their advantage for the movie and showing it to us. They really used that ride to its potential, I thought.
01:05:08
Speaker
I thought she screwed herself out of her future life when she sucked her mom out of the airlock. I was like, they're going fast. And she just got stabbed. At first, I thought, oh, she's going to ruin her reproductive chance by stabbing her in the stomach. And then I was like, oh, shit. No, maybe she's dead. She's gone.
01:05:29
Speaker
You thought there was a dire result because of that, but like it ended up not being fine. I once Pam flew out of there, I want to say you might die, right? Well, they like were saying so fast. If you she was like, well, if we go too fast and whatever, you'll like pretty much explode.
01:05:50
Speaker
Turn to the mist. Yeah. Yeah. The the pink mist in that. Yeah. Doug said earlier, happy to talk about the video game. Yeah, because she's like, Oh, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I liked that. That's one thing that you could like say about him that you're like, Oh, maybe you're a little weird because he was able to excite about the new game. Very. But I kind of wrote that off as I guess just nerdy.
01:06:11
Speaker
And jokes on everybody in the 80s. Nerd shit is in now too. I forgot to bring up that point. Time is a sci-fi geek. Tell anybody and I'll kill you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, Hey, Pam, you don't need to keep that under wraps anymore. You know, if you were here.
01:06:29
Speaker
I was going to say too, with the ending, uh, quantum drop, the stakes are really felt when young Pam is in there with Jamie, when she told her to stay out. It's like, Oh no, something's going to happen. Like you were saying, Andy, her being stabbed has bad results on something, but thank God. Yeah, she flew out of there. It just was. She had a scratch little, little knife wound.
01:06:57
Speaker
Yeah. To Matt, uh, Blake as well. Cause he gets stabbed in the cabin. Uh-huh. That's very true. Yeah. Scared upon over whenever, uh, she goes back. Are we done with the fight scene? Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. So whenever, uh, Jamie goes back to like the future or present day, I should say. Yeah. And she's running through the house and it's so stark, white, clean, everything. And the only color was the rainbow flag.
01:07:27
Speaker
when she's running by looking for her mom. I was just like, why is that the one piece of color in the whole house? And then we later find out that her brother is gay. So I was like, that's why.
01:07:42
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. That was a good catch. I didn't notice that. Yeah. I just, well, I didn't even, I didn't even catch on that. Her brother was gay until they were doing like the end credits and it showed where everyone was after the movie ended. Yeah. And then, uh, her brother was, uh, like had a boyfriend. So I was like, that's why the ramble flag was there. Oh, it didn't even catch that. Yep. And going with your point there, Ashley, the plot really avoids a plot hole with Lauren making
01:08:12
Speaker
a things that are different notebook for Jamie. I thought that was a really nice touch. Yeah, me too. I, yeah. It's like, here's the big thing. So, you know, and good luck. Like you can't expect somebody to just totally like you push them off and Hey, go fly. Learn about your world now. Yeah. Like now that it's present and you change things. Yeah. So it was nice that she helped her out with that. That was.
01:08:41
Speaker
a nice thing to do and really showed their bond that they, you know, came up with back in the eighties. And now they still share that bond, which is nice. Her best friend's mom. It's nice. Oh, I love that. Her parents in the present day when she comes back was dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Cause I love that movie. Oh my God. Can I tell you something? Yes. Never seen it. Wow. I know.
01:09:06
Speaker
It's very entertaining. I watched it a lot growing up. Yeah. I've seen it a lot. I wouldn't say it's like a must watch, but it's good. Okay. That's where Brad Pitt met Angelina Jolie. They were together. Well on it. Boo. Oh, I have one last thing to add, but I didn't. Um, was when DuBassage told Jamie, nice fake blood looks real. Do you remember that part?
01:09:35
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. No, that was her brother walking upright on those stairs. It was somebody. Yeah. At the very end. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I just went like this straight faced because I was like, Nope. I thought of that CGI blood. And that was it. Ashley it's okay. It's okay. I do like my practical blood though too.
Decade Preferences and Time Travel Fears
01:09:58
Speaker
And that didn't really stick out to me. So I'm glad you brought it to my attention. Yeah. Actually, I think that's all I have on it.
01:10:06
Speaker
I do have some general questions for you guys. Yes. Yeah, run it through. Okay. If you guys were the main character in this movie, God help us survive it. Which decade would you like it to be set in? I'm gonna have to go way 90s.
01:10:24
Speaker
90s, you do seem like a, yup. 90s person. Yeah, of course. Okay. I'm still coming from the same year, right? Coming from 2023. Yes. Okay. I would have to also go with 90s. Like as much as I would like either like 50s, 70s or 80s for the aesthetic, like 90s would feel the most familiar where like you're not feeling like a complete outsider when you go back. Okay.
01:10:51
Speaker
I would pick 90s or early 2000s. So you wouldn't go back that far. Those are two good picks. Eric, what are you thinking?
01:11:05
Speaker
I'm going to have to agree with either 90s or 2000s because like anything going past like 80s like is like a deal. That's very true. Oh, no. So yeah, I'm going to I'm going to stick with that. OK, it makes I'll have more than we will. We won't go on about your reasoning. But yeah, I get you. I get.
01:11:35
Speaker
All right. Yeah. No, good picks guys. Okay. So kind of all around the same time. So you guys would be in the past together. All right. Good luck. I'd want to go to a sum 41 concert for sure. Okay. That's why I picked early. You want to actually experience the decade. Like you would go out and do stuff. You, you like wouldn't mind if a killer was after you or trying to kill other people. You're trying to stop it. No.
01:12:00
Speaker
I'd want to go right. If I knew the people, yes. With every. If I knew the people, but if it was just a random killer. Really, like, I don't think she cared too much about her mom's friends. No, they were save them as long as she could go back, enjoy it for a couple of years, enjoy the life and then go save her mom.
01:12:17
Speaker
Yeah, I think she was just trying to be a good person. And yeah, of course, save her mom was the main objective. So the friends kind of just came with that. I would have to say, same as this movie, put me in the 80s. I would say 50s for aesthetic, but I feel that is too past my time and big culture shock. That would be tough. Yeah. Yeah.
01:12:47
Speaker
And kind of, kind of the same reasoning with you, Eric, I would maybe have some issues like in society, if you get what I mean. Yeah.
01:12:57
Speaker
Yeah, society is having a great history. No. I think even just the general conversation, like you hear some clear. Slaying differences like she says dope. Jamie does. So definitely in some different things that the 80s kids say it would be black and white. Like when you go back and you're like, oh, these people don't speak like me at all. I think if you went to the 50s. Yeah.
01:13:26
Speaker
I think the eighties would be just manageable enough. That's why I kind of picked it. And you know, if, if I need to get my curly fro going, you know, be asked into hauling oats, I'll do it. I'll do it.
01:13:42
Speaker
It also takes everything that I possibly could from whatever time period I was in. Yeah. And stuff in the time machine and all the super valuable stuff and just keep it for my own collection that I can't get these days. Just bringing back rare items, bring back Beanie Babies. Yep. Oh.
01:14:01
Speaker
One more quicker question for you guys. With time travel, do you guys need an intricate explanation with how the time travel works or do you just kind of take it at base value and go with it? Since we already talked about that, I kind of wanted to ask that question. I think there's enough different kinds of time travel that you need to do what they did in this movie and say what movie you're going to reference, because then you can build off people's knowledge of that movie's time travel.
01:14:32
Speaker
Yeah. So that's a good answer. It's like end game, back to the future. There you go. Yeah. I would have to have some general questions answered. Just general, not like getting too deep into it though. You don't need. Yeah. I just want to make sure of certain things first before I go do stuff in the past. I'd still want my same mom and sisters. Yeah. I'd still like to meet Ryan, but everything that leads up to that, I could, as long as those things are.
01:15:01
Speaker
Ryan, she'll save you. Don't worry. He won't be lost forever. Okay. Yeah. So not super educated. I just want to make sure certain things would stay the same. Yeah. That's all.
01:15:16
Speaker
Yeah, have awareness of it and what you're doing. Yeah. You would kind of like if you were the character in this movie. Yeah. You need that. I like the time travel that they did choose for this movie. Same. I also don't believe in it when it comes to like thinking of what time travel would actually be. Yeah. Because I believe in like the chaos theory butterfly effect of like the amount of changes she made. She completely fucked up the future.
01:15:41
Speaker
Yeah, there would be a lot more changes. I feel, but I, I like what they did with the changes and stuff. It wasn't too much. Wasn't too little. Eric, what would you say? Do you, do you need like a very intricate explanation or you can just take it as it is? I, uh, I, okay. So time travel like really scares me. Really? Honestly.
01:16:07
Speaker
like that's like it's like a cosmic horror i guess for me because i love cosmic horror i know like like if i were to go back in time and change anything i dropped i don't know like anything could happen and then that just like domino effect changes everything like that just scares me i i don't know i i feel like i would have to know like
01:16:37
Speaker
what stays the same or what I have to do. I have to have a set of rules. I'm sure there's a ton. That's pretty much where I am at as well. I would want certain things to stay the same and I'd want to know how to keep certain things the same while also changing other things, if that's possible. Yeah. If I could change something without it...
01:17:02
Speaker
creating a catastrophe, like, yeah, but, um, yeah, I don't know. Even then, like, I don't know, man, keep that time away from you. Do not let me use it. You cannot trust me with it.
Similar Movie Recommendations
01:17:13
Speaker
And I'd be too anxious. Gotta grieve your parent to move on. Yeah. Yeah. Like just move on. Other than like break all of reality. Yeah. Yeah. No kidding. So yeah, Ashley and Eric are kind of in the same area there and, and yeah, I liked your answer too.
01:17:33
Speaker
I think I'm with Eric and Ashley on this one too. I need some of it and I can just take the rest at face value. But kind of like I said, if I really love the story and I really need to know, I will dive into it. It's a habit of mine and it's not a very healthy one because it just breaks my mind even more.
01:18:04
Speaker
Yeah, okay. Those were my only questions. And after this, I will stop talking and shut up. But I did want to add a new segment to the pod and I didn't tell my co-host this. So it'll just be me. It's my fault. I'll bring it up. And it's kind of self-explanatory. I'll just kind of list three movies that this movie reminds me of. We're going to have similar ones.
01:18:33
Speaker
Perfect. I'd obviously like to say back to the future. It just has that fun light feel from back to the future while using a plot device from it, like time travel and.
01:18:49
Speaker
It wasn't too confusing. And Back to the Future isn't too confusing, I feel, with the time travel aspect. And if you guys enjoy Back to the Future, you will enjoy this movie. It takes quite a bit of inspiration, not just a smidge. And I would also say Happy Death Day, obviously, because that deals with time travel and a killer. It's a slasher comedy as well.
01:19:15
Speaker
But I do prefer this movie over Happy Death Day. I probably have to say, I just think it was more fun, better characters surrounding the main character. And the last one I would say is Final Girls. I'm not going to go on about it because I've already been talking and I want Ashley to go in on that one a little more. Let's see. I would obviously pick Happy Death Day. Obviously.
01:19:43
Speaker
I think I might prefer happy death day to this one. Okay. Even though I think they're both really hilarious. I love both of them. Definitely. I don't hate a happy death day. I'm also a little, cause I love happy death day too as well. So it's the two together that. Yes. Um, gotcha. Final girls, obviously. And not the same type of movie, but it gave me like with the humor and the way it was filmed and stuff, uh, freaky.
01:20:10
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. Really, really enjoyed the comedy of Freaky. And I think this one matched my comedy as well. Like when I find humorous, I'm going to have to say those three tried to pick just three. Those were good. That's a good trifecta there. Yeah. And listeners definitely check out final girls. If you.
01:20:34
Speaker
want to watch this movie and are interested in this one, I'd say that one is in the same vein and it does have a different stories.
01:20:43
Speaker
And say happy death day. I would say two. Definitely. It was more Groundhog Day. It's enough of a change from this one that it's not like, oh, I feel like I'm watching the same movie. That's why we're recommending them. So, yeah, check those out. Andy, Eric, can you think of any other movies that we haven't mentioned that totally killer reminds you of? No, I was going to add Freaky.
01:21:05
Speaker
Um, none that you haven't mentioned. All right. Actually we covered it. Sorry guys. Sorry. But yeah, for, for next time. That will be a little segment at the end and kind of get more recommendations out there for you guys. That's what we like to do. Maybe we can try to compile a longer list so we don't overlap as much and can recommend more movies as long as you get them all covered.
01:21:30
Speaker
Very true. Definitely. Yeah. What are you guys been watching lately? Eric, do you want to want to kick us off? We haven't heard from you in a while. Yeah, go ahead, Eric. Missed you on the whiplash. We did dearly. Yeah. Lately I have.
01:21:46
Speaker
been watching shows. Yeah. So I watched, well, I guess I watched an entire series and it's not even like a series. I want to say it's like an eight part, like it's like a limited series. It's called the terminal. After I, after I, yeah, after I read the book, I found out there was a show and I really liked the book. So I watched that and it was great. How did it compare to the book, you think?
01:22:17
Speaker
There was some, there was things that they changed, obviously. They put things in different, like, it was, it's tasteful differences, I guess. It's not like they're adding new characters and all that stuff. Cause I mean, speaking of like comparing like books to movies, like the gray man, like there was a lot of characters in the gray man that weren't even in the book. Like they just started adding characters, replacing characters.
01:22:46
Speaker
The guy's name isn't six in the book either. So it's like completely different, but that's, that's something else, but like, uh, yeah, terminal list. It's a, it's a good, good series.
01:22:58
Speaker
It's like a revenge story, it's like really sad, but also really, I don't know, it follows like a former Navy SEAL who like turns into a domestic terrorist in short. So it's like, not really. I mean, he's called a domestic terrorist, but like, he's just doing like crazy shit to, you know, hunt down some people that are doing some bad things, I guess.
01:23:23
Speaker
Yeah, it's my recommendation. And I suppose that took up quite a bit of your time. So you probably don't have multiple things to recommend right now or what you're watching. Yeah. Awesome. I did go see the fall guy in theaters.
Recent Movie Discussions
01:23:41
Speaker
Yeah, I thought it was great.
01:23:44
Speaker
It was, it was a lot of fun. Uh, really funny. Yeah. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt were just made for those rules. So shouldn't say as always, but just to be expected. I definitely want to catch that one while it's in. Oh, I'm so excited for that one. David Leitch has become one of my faves. He's good. Yeah. Especially the Deadpool. Bullet train. Cause he did, he directed the first two Deadpools, right?
01:24:13
Speaker
I couldn't tell you. He co-directed the first John Wick. Maybe I'm thinking of somebody different. I want to say, I think you're, no, I think you're right. Okay. I'm not going to look it up right now, but I'm pretty sure. At least the first one, I think, or something. At least. But I agree.
01:24:28
Speaker
Yeah, I'm excited to check out the fall guy. I'm really sad that it's not doing well. Money wise, people just aren't going to see it for some reason. I don't know. I think I heard that the other day, but it's just surprising to me, like, especially after Barbie and Oppenheimer, you have.
01:24:46
Speaker
Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling, like two of two stars from two of the biggest movies of the year. So it just doesn't make sense to me. But like when you think about it, like it wasn't like heavily advertised. Like it was Barbie. Oh, you don't think I thought there was a lot of ads for it. Was there? Maybe I just missed them. But I felt like there was a lot more with Barbie and Oppenheimer than it was for
01:25:13
Speaker
Like even like, I think there was more word of mouth with, with Barbenheimer for sure. And I mean, the advertising teams did like group up with Oppenheimer and Barbie, and they made some interesting advertisements just coming together on that. But I, I do feel like Ryan and Emily were at least out there promoting it quite a bit. I, and especially tick tock, like that's how you see.
01:25:42
Speaker
Definitely advertising for movies nowadays and what the actors do to promote it. Just little clips and stuff. So I felt like I saw it all over the place. Yeah. I guess you're right. I mean, I just was, uh, Oh no, you're good. I mean, if you don't look there, like you don't go on Tik TOK a whole lot, huh? Okay. Yeah, that's probably why. So I don't blame you. That's probably it. But yeah, no, I'm glad you checked it out. I can't wait. Yeah.
01:26:13
Speaker
fall guy and then, uh, iron claw finally saw very good. That was good tears. Yeah. Hard apart. I'm still waiting to be in the right mindset to check that one out. You might shed a tear. You definitely it's yeah, I'm waiting. It's heavy. No. And I really liked it. Even though it made us feel the way it made us feel it's, it's powerful in that way.
01:26:38
Speaker
Yeah. I said I loved it, but then at the end where my face is just all red and full of tears, I looked at Cordy. I'm like, why did you make me watch this? I loved it so much that it hurts. Yeah, yeah.
01:26:53
Speaker
I get you. Ashley, she's been watching. Um, since the last episode, haven't been me and Ryan have been so busy like with my birthday and his sister's graduation and traveling and family time. We haven't been watching much, except for still married with children.
01:27:11
Speaker
Okay that you mentioned on your like now watching episodes each time Yeah, we've started we've started stuff but have fallen asleep or you know, so I don't have much to update at the moment. Unfortunately Any rewatched movies Oh watch twister. I Need to check that out before the new one comes out. Yep. That's why I watched that but Oh infested and
01:27:37
Speaker
Oh, dude, I started watching that and I clicked it off. I couldn't. I'm like, I can't do it. Ryan had me shut it off before it ended because he didn't like it before it ended. I barely was watching it and it got to like the part where they're like they walked through the whole tunnel covered and he was like. He turned out like it. Oh, man. OK, so I'm going to finish it. I don't like it, but we really liked it up to the start. I mean, I was still watching it.
01:28:08
Speaker
Okay so you enjoyed it at least and what it kept watching. Yes. Okay. And I don't and he really did too because he liked the the French aspect of it and stuff. Oh good. And like the music and like just everything. Yeah. I don't know at what point it turned for him. Lost him. Yes.
01:28:24
Speaker
I'm curious on that. I'm going to have to talk to him on it because yeah, I don't blame him for not wanting to finish it. It might not be for some people for sure. I didn't think it'd be for me, but yeah. I'm going to go back and finish it though. Awesome. Yeah, you should. Really good French film and shutter original. I'm glad shutter is coming out with quality horror for us. So that's kind of it.
01:28:48
Speaker
I've been wanting to, I have stuff on my watch list, so I want to check out poor things soon. I'm surprised you haven't seen that still. That's another one. Same with Iron Claw. I'm waiting for like the right mindset because I know it's going to be a lot to take in. It is. So just kind of waiting to like sit down and I've also been wanting to rewatch Prometheus for a while.
01:29:10
Speaker
Just rewatch that the other week. So I want to watch that soon. Preparing for Romulus. I still didn't watch the Romulus trailer, but I heard some things. It's, it's, I'll say I have watched it. It's brief. It's not going to ruin anything. I mean, I haven't seen the movie for you, but it's very brief. Okay. The one I watched. I'm still going to try to avoid it at all costs though. Fede Alvarez. I just, I feel like he has it in the bag. I just don't even have to assume. It's going to be some sort of xenomorph and a lot of blood. Yeah. Awesome. Andy, what you been watching?
01:29:40
Speaker
I mean, I'm always watching a lot, as you know. I only got one that I really want to recommend this time, though. A newer movie from the end of last year, I think, called Nefarious. So this one is kind of one of those all in one room.
01:29:57
Speaker
movies it's a lawyer or a sorry a psychiatrist doctor that comes in to interview a man on death row who says he's like being influenced by the devil he was a murderer and or a demon of the devil himself
01:30:16
Speaker
And so he has to declare him either sane or not sane. If he's sane, he gets killed. If he's insane, he used to just live out in prison. So he's kind of interviewing him and trying to go back and forth. Is this guy actually insane and just believes that he's being controlled by a demon? Or is there actually a supernatural thing at play? So it's a really interesting dialogue-heavy movie. Very good thriller.
01:30:45
Speaker
Sounds good. I've heard the name, but I didn't know what it was about. Yeah. That sounds really good. Up your alley. Yeah. That one's on Prime and Peacock. So. That will be going on my watch list, Andy. It was good. I enjoyed it. And it's on Tubi. So it's free. Dang, Ashley, maybe we should have a movie night for that. That one sounds right up our alley. With Ryan? Yeah.
01:31:07
Speaker
No, probably. We'll find a different movie. One last thing. We did check. I didn't finish it, but I checked out the TED TV series on Peacock. Oh, yeah. And from what I watched, it was so funny. Very offensive, but really funny, actually, because it's still Wahlberg and. No, it's this high school boy and they're like live in Brooklyn.
01:31:34
Speaker
And he has Ted, and it's like his family and his cousin. And Ted has to go to high school with him. Oh, and isn't Mark Wahlberg character just younger? Because he grew up with Ted, right? Yeah. Oh, I don't know. I don't remember the movie Ted. Okay, I was just curious. Eric, you probably are very
01:31:54
Speaker
Yeah, from what I got, it's just, you're definitely right. And I didn't really think about it because I haven't seen Ted in like years. You're good. I was just kind of thinking like, did Ted move on to somebody else? No, because it was taking place in the nineties and it just got renewed for season two. Awesome. So glad it's doing well. Then I might have to check. Is there anything else on peacock? That's like, maybe the truck key series.
01:32:19
Speaker
That's on there. Peacock. What else is on Peacock? They flutter in and out with good movies. They do. That's one I always forget about. I have it. I can't say it's consistently a top thing for me. It's one of those like, oh, this one good movie went on there for a month. Yeah, yeah. I think Peacock, what has it, NBC? Isn't that Peacock or something like that?
01:32:44
Speaker
Oh, universal movies go on there. So universal pictures is always good. So I feel like it's a, it's a good one to have in your back pocket, but there's not a ton of the new night swims on there. It's just kind of a lot of random stuff. That's where I watch night swim. So that was nice. So like those universal movies that what's up Oppenheimer.
01:33:07
Speaker
Oppenheimer. Yeah. The universal movies that just come out of theaters, they'll most likely go on peacock, you know? So yeah, I might get it. Yeah. Got it. Nice. What's your watch? Let's see. So obviously last night checked out one of Ashley's favorites, deathproof from Quentin Tarantino and movie lovers might be like, Oh my God, Andy Hunter. You haven't fricking seen that and you have a movie podcast.
01:33:36
Speaker
But yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit I'm kind of going through classics that I feel like I need to see right now. And what's all talked about, you know, I only got so much time.
01:33:49
Speaker
But Deathproof was enjoyable and it was fun to talk to Ashley about it because it means a lot to her. And yeah, Andy and I just had a good time watching it. So can't complain about that. And I won't go into it because it's probably been talked about a lot already, you know? And I've been mostly rewatching things because
01:34:13
Speaker
I've been very busy at work and my mind has run its course at the end of some days. So I kind of just throw on rewatchables that I haven't seen for a while. Just rewatch one of our faves. Which one? John Tucker must die. Oh, heck yeah. That was last week. I was going to bring up some more like more recent ones, but yeah, John Tucker must die is a must of course.
01:34:40
Speaker
And then I checked out SawX last night.
01:34:44
Speaker
Because weirdly, again, guys, I'm not a psychopath, but it's a kind of comfort movie for some reason, like in the Saw franchise, it just, I don't know, it feels more of a comfort movie than the other Saw's for some reason. It was nice to have a different POV. Exactly. Like John Kramer is in a different situation here. So like, yeah. Yeah. I felt like going back to the first couple of movies for sure. Exactly. Yeah.
01:35:11
Speaker
It was just a really good promising entry in the Saw franchise after having how many movies? So it was nice rewatching that because I only saw it once and then I rewatched Cool List. There we go. Finally thought of it. And I was like throwing Cool List one night and I'm just like, yeah. And I, of course I stayed up rewatching it.
01:35:34
Speaker
Oh, I just rewatched a Romeo Michels high school reunion with my sisters this past weekend. Oh, did you? Yeah. So whenever Venus started playing on a totally killer, it just brought me right back to that too. So. Oh, awesome. Yeah. That's always a good rewatch. Okay. Yeah. I might have to rewatch that one sometime soon. Yeah. That's all I got. Yeah. Just mostly rewatchables.
01:35:57
Speaker
Yeah. And then our next movie is actually Ashley's first pick then.
Next Episode Announcement and Sign-Off
01:36:02
Speaker
Yes. So yeah, Ashley. Yeah. And we will be talking about Peewee's Big Adventure. Yes. Tim Burton's first, or his directorial debut. Get ready for it. One that I think only Ashley has seen. Eric, have you seen that one? Uh, no. Peewee's Big Adventure. So you'll be introducing it to three of us. Yay.
01:36:25
Speaker
You got this. I can't wait. It's going to be a good time. Facts for that one. Oh, I believe it. Yeah. I love when you dive into facts and behind the scenes of movies, you know, really well.
01:36:37
Speaker
Yeah. So tune in for that, for our audio film or comedy film, our first full comedy. Is it full comedy or is it like thriller comedy? Okay. Cool. Yeah. First real comedy then. Thank you for getting that in the lineup, you know? Yeah. Yeah. We had to put one in there eventually.
01:36:59
Speaker
And also I'll add a little note to anyone listening. I'm so sorry about my audio last episode. We got the problem figured out. So we're good. Should be good to go. I sounded like I was at the bottom of the ocean.
01:37:14
Speaker
And I apologize. It's okay. I cringe every time I listen to it. JK Simmons just really beat you down. You're just feeling like not yourself. Oh man, he tossed me in the ocean, forgot about me. Yeah. Yeah. So always follow him on the Instagrams and all the other things in the description. Stay tuned for some comedy. Bye everybody. Bye.
