Episode 181: "Together" Review
30 Plays15 days ago
This week on The Popcorn Podcast, Tommy and Ryan dive headfirst into the twisted intimacy of the new body horror film Together, starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie.
Blending psychological dread with grotesque physical transformation, the film offers a chilling exploration of codependency, self-erasure, and the terrifying lengths some couples will go to stay connected—literally.
Together
In this episode, we dissect how Together uses body horror as a metaphor for emotional fusion, examine the chemistry between real-life partners Franco and Brie, and debate whether the film's creeping discomfort leaves a lasting mark—or just makes your skin crawl.
Episode Highlights:
🔪 Love as Decay: How the film weaponizes romance and domesticity to unsettle viewers.
🧬 The Body Betrays: A breakdown of the film’s best (and most disturbing) practical effects.
💔 Performances on the Edge: What makes Franco and Brie’s dynamic so unnervingly believable?
🧠 Themes That Linger: How the film echoes classics like Possession and The Fly.
🎥 A New Chapter for Intimate Horror: Where Together fits in the modern horror landscape.

tommy cresta
Written. with red scribbled writing on it.
00:01:04
Ryan
Yeah. No, it's like when you, um when you brought the mics and stuff to Disney. You were literally walking around the airport with a cardboard box filled with wires. And you were like, this is not, this doesn't look good.
00:01:16
tommy cresta
This does not look right. And no one questioned me on it.
00:01:21
Ryan
Yeah, no, went through TSA. Totally fine. It was fun.

i I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. It was a joke, but i don't know.
00:01:44

I posted the Spider-Man announcement video.
00:02:05
Ryan
Oh, yeah, I knew that wasn't going to go well.
00:02:07

00:02:14
tommy cresta
stupid. but
00:02:15
Ryan

00:02:16
tommy cresta
But Supes can post the whole thing on his page.
00:02:20
Ryan
Well, yeah, but he puts his face in it, doesn't he?
00:02:22
tommy cresta
Yeah, why does that matter?
00:02:24
Ryan
Because you're changing it. If you post the video flat out outright, you can't do that. But if you change it in any sort of way or like use it, put your face in it, put your audio in it.
00:02:31
tommy cresta
I did! i put wrote on it!
00:02:34

00:02:36
tommy cresta
So...
00:02:37
Ryan
You gotta like put your face and like, I forget the exact word um I should use, but yeah, just put your dumb face in it and just smile and be like, that's all you gotta do.

00:05:56

00:06:01
tommy cresta
And then Goblet... Goblet of Fire.
00:06:04
Ryan
Oh, yeah, that's fine.
00:06:06
tommy cresta
So your start is Batman 89, Tropic Thunder, Children of Men, Superbad, and Jurassic Park.
00:06:06
Ryan
All right.
00:06:11
tommy cresta
Your skip is Dunkirk, Iron Man 3, The Last Jedi, Ghost Protocol, Goblet of Fire. It's pretty good.
00:06:17
Ryan
I'm actually fine with that. That's pretty good.
00:06:18
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:06:18
Ryan
I like that. I don't know if I'd really change anything.
00:06:19
tommy cresta
No, i probably I think the only thing I probably would switched is probably Children of Men and Goblet of Fire. That's the only thing I would switched.
00:06:30
Ryan
Yeah, but that's you like Harry Potter. That's it.
00:06:32
tommy cresta
I love Harry Potter. I almost did Prisoner of Azkaban.
00:06:33
Ryan
I think
00:06:34
tommy cresta
Because I think that's the best Harry Potter.
00:06:36
Ryan
it wouldn't have mattered.
00:06:38
tommy cresta
But it's but's the same director.
00:06:38
Ryan
I would have cut it.
00:06:39
tommy cresta
now I was like, I can't have the same director on the list twice.
00:06:40
Ryan
Yeah, it's current.
00:06:42
tommy cresta
yeah He should have done more Harry Potters.
00:06:42
Ryan
Um,
00:06:44
tommy cresta
That movie is so cool.
00:06:45
Ryan
Yeah. Wait, why are you cutting Children of Men? You don't like Children are Men? Alright.
00:06:48
tommy cresta
No, I like Children of Men. I like all the movies on here.
00:06:50
Ryan
You know who directed it?
00:06:52
tommy cresta
What?
00:06:53
Ryan
You know who directed it? Alright,
00:06:55
tommy cresta
The same guy who did... Yeah, that's why I said I can't have two of his own movies on there.
00:06:57
Ryan
I was making sure you knew. Yeah, Harry Potters. Okay. That's fine.
00:07:03
tommy cresta
yeah Good list of them. think that might be your best one so far. like that one. You did good.
00:07:09
Ryan
No, last week's was perfect. I forget exactly what it was, but it was good.
00:07:11
tommy cresta
I forget what last week's one. I have it. Yeah, Chronicle, Sicario, The Shawshank Redemption, Seven, The Northmen. Yeah, that was pretty good.
00:07:21
Ryan
Yeah.
00:07:22
tommy cresta
I think I would, yeah, I said I would have switched ah The Northmen with The Conjuring. That's it.
00:07:28
Ryan
Yeah.
00:07:30
tommy cresta
Yeah, that was a good one.
00:07:30
Ryan
That's good. Who signed your hat, by the way?
00:07:33
tommy cresta
Cole Hamels.
00:07:34
Ryan
Colin Amos?
00:07:36
tommy cresta
Yeah, he said next time like he if he gives me this, he I better not throw it away like the baseball he gave me.
00:07:43
tommy cresta
My bad, Cole.
00:07:45
Ryan
Yeah.
00:07:46
tommy cresta
Didn't mean it.
00:07:47
Ryan
Yes, you did.
00:07:47
tommy cresta
Oh, shit. Lost my notes.
00:07:50
Ryan
You meant it with the Tywon Walker ball. We destroyed that thing.
00:07:53
tommy cresta
We destroyed the shit out of that.
00:07:57
Ryan
And now you're all Mr. Cywon Walker.
00:07:59
tommy cresta
i was a Cywan Walker guy the first two years of his contract.
00:08:04
tommy cresta
And then i lost he lost me for two years.
00:08:05
Ryan
No, the first year of his contract. The first year. He had like a five ERA and you're like, but he gets wins because he just got all the run support.
00:08:11
tommy cresta
First off, he had a fourth three And he had 15 wins.
00:08:16
Ryan
Okay.
00:08:17
tommy cresta
That's pretty ah electric.
00:08:17
Ryan
one One because of him.
00:08:22
Ryan
He averaged a not quality start. You're like, but he still gets wins.
00:08:26
tommy cresta
Yeah, he won games. That's all I cared that's all i cared about.
00:08:31
tommy cresta
Oh my god, my brightness on this laptop is so high right now.
00:08:34
Ryan
Then he got his ass benched in the playoffs.
00:08:37
tommy cresta
No, he moved to the bullpen and didn't get benched.
00:08:40
Ryan
I don't remember him pitching once out of the bullpen.
00:08:42
tommy cresta
He didn't.
00:08:43
Ryan
Yeah.
00:08:45
tommy cresta
um But the new, the film here talk about is Together. As I said, the body horror film starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie. It's directed by Michael Shanks and is currently sitting at a 91 on Rotten Tomatoes. A 7.1 out IMDb. 3.5 out of on And a 76% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:09:07
tommy cresta
The critic consensus is given an extra sinew of authenticity by the metatextual casting of Alison Brie of Dave Franco. At the top of their game, together is a body horror that's emotionally sticky and as it is memorably gnarly.
00:09:20
tommy cresta
See, I don't think it's memorably gnarly.
00:09:23
Ryan
Yeah, there's a couple moments, but overall, it's, you know, I think the body horror aspect was kind of a little overplayed in the marketing.
00:09:23
tommy cresta
That's probably my that's far of my biggest takeaway.
00:09:35
Ryan
You know what i mean
00:09:36
tommy cresta
Yeah, like it did didn't didn't feel like it leaned into... like I thought it was going to really gnarly.
00:09:40
Ryan
mean?
00:09:41
tommy cresta
and We didn't didn really get that.
00:09:43
Ryan
Yeah, like pretty much you kind of see everything in the trailers. As far as the body horror stuff goes. There's a few scenes like in the cave and like towards the end of the movie. Like you know what i'm talking about with that thing.
00:09:53
tommy cresta
Yeah, that was cool.
00:09:54
Ryan
That was cool. Yeah I like that.
00:09:55
tommy cresta
That was creepy as hell.
00:09:56
Ryan
But yeah. um
00:09:59
tommy cresta
That scares first act for me.
00:10:02
Ryan
Yeah the first act like i you introduced the movie as a horror comedy. It's the first half in the movie is the first really two acts are horror. And then the third act is like horror comedy.
00:10:12
Ryan
It just kind of like switches in that third act which I wasn't a huge fan of because I thought the
00:10:12
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:10:18
Ryan
The horror, although there wasn't a ton of it, it was effective. Like, the best scare in the movie is in the very beginning with the, like, you know, he's kind of hallucinating something.
00:10:21
tommy cresta
Mm-hmm.
00:10:24
tommy cresta
Get the fuck of me. The mom.
00:10:27
Ryan
It's fucking scary as shit.
00:10:29
tommy cresta
That whole sequence was so good.
00:10:29
Ryan
Really, really good jump scare. Yeah, it was great. But, um yeah, when it switches more into comedy, just kind of, I feel it was still good, but it just lost me a little bit.
00:10:39
Ryan
I wish it kind of stuck with the horror, you know, tone it had in the beginning. But, yeah. It seemed like you did not like it nearly as much as I did, though.
00:10:50
tommy cresta
Yeah, the more I sit with it, the more I like it, just because I really think that their performances were good.
00:10:51
Ryan
You were.
00:10:55
tommy cresta
And of course, they have great chemistry. They've been married 10 years almost.
00:10:58
Ryan
Mm
00:10:59
tommy cresta
And I think that both of them are really talented actors. And they have great comedic timing in this. Like, just the way that they're able to bounce off one another. And you can tell that there definitely is some improv to their lines.
00:11:11
Ryan
hmm.
00:11:11
tommy cresta
And of course, they're going to just work together. And it's really just them and one other actor in this movie. That is the cast.
00:11:18
Ryan
Yeah.
00:11:19
tommy cresta
And... After the first act. The first act is other the characters. But it it really just becomes them.
00:11:23
Ryan
Yeah.
00:11:25
tommy cresta
And then ah the other teacher.
00:11:27
Ryan
Yeah. There's a couple like friends they kind of talk to now and again, but that's, that's really it.
00:11:27
tommy cresta
But.
00:11:30
tommy cresta
Yeah. But I mean the whole movie. Comes down to. Oh god. Codependency. And I think i said to Ryan.
00:11:37
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:11:38
tommy cresta
When we were leaving. believing Like driving home. That I thought it was a really cool concept. For a horror movie. Is that it was something I never thought about. Like that this would be a cool idea. And I wish they just kind of leaned more. Into the scares with it.
00:11:50
tommy cresta
And more into the body horror of it.
Horror Movie Marketing and Codependency Themes
00:11:53
tommy cresta
And they there's moments where they do. But then all in all, I feel like it doesn't do enough of the scares with it.
00:12:01
Ryan
Yeah.
00:12:01
tommy cresta
It shows you like how it can be creepy, but it doesn't scare you enough with it. like I really think there's two major scares in the entire movie.
00:12:10
Ryan
Yeah.
00:12:11
tommy cresta
There's one at the end of the second act, and there's one the very beginning. The one at the very beginning scared the shit out of me.
00:12:14
Ryan
Yeah. I think the. yeah that was that was a really good one. um The whole like body horror, like the mending together thing, which is... They didn't show them in early trailers, but they've released like promotional stills with just the the hands together.
00:12:28
Ryan
So you kind of know that's that's what's happening now.
00:12:29
tommy cresta
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:31
Ryan
um I think that that aspect, like it was a very cool idea. And I think the execution, it's all CGI. But I think it looked pretty good for what and for what they were doing. It was pretty in-depth.
00:12:41
Ryan
You could see kind of the fingers like going through somebody's skin. and it was It was pretty unsettling.
00:12:44
tommy cresta
yeah
00:12:45
Ryan
But I think the best... like body horror part of the mending together stuff. I won't go totally spoilers, but the hair scene was like to me like, oh my God.
00:12:57
tommy cresta
Like the hair scene, the poster hair scene?
00:13:00
Ryan
The was it in a poster?
00:13:02
tommy cresta
The eyes?
00:13:04
Ryan
The eyes.
00:13:06
tommy cresta
Oh, in bed.
00:13:07
Ryan
In bed. Yeah, yeah, that scene.
00:13:08
tommy cresta
oh I thought you meant the poster of the eyes like going together.
00:13:09
Ryan
That scene was like, oh. Yeah.
00:13:12
tommy cresta
And they're like their eyelashes blending.
00:13:12
Ryan
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, that's cool, too. That was cool.
00:13:15
tommy cresta
That's a really good poster.
00:13:15
Ryan
But No, the hair. Yeah. In bed. That scene was like, yeah, wasn't even because it it was creepy, like the setup of it.
00:13:19
tommy cresta
That's a creepy ass scene.
00:13:23
Ryan
But when you finally see what's happening, it's not even scary. It's just like uncomfortable, which is kind of what body horror to a point is supposed to be like there.
00:13:27
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:13:30
Ryan
are You can be horror, just like regular old scary with it.
00:13:30
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:13:34
Ryan
But then you can also make it just gross and uncomfortable. And I think that scene was the best uncomfortable scene for me.
00:13:43
tommy cresta
That scene was, I forgot. I already forgot about that. Yeah. ah Most of the, like what you're saying, like when them come combining together is CGI. I knew that I know when they were stuck at the arm was real.
00:13:54
tommy cresta
Cause they released like a picture of them together.
00:13:56
Ryan
Oh, was it?
00:13:57
tommy cresta
Yeah, like that was practical.
00:13:58
Ryan
Okay.
00:13:58
tommy cresta
Like at the arm. Because they wore like a sleeve.
00:13:59
Ryan
Then it looked pretty good.
00:14:01
tommy cresta
And then they... Like when they were like laying together and trying to push away, that was real.
00:14:06
Ryan
Yeah.
00:14:06
tommy cresta
And then when they sawed through, that was real. But all the other stuff, you can tell it's CGI. Because their bodies just look a little different.
00:14:11
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. But again, it doesn't look too bad.
00:14:14
tommy cresta
i
00:14:15
Ryan
and i thought it looked fine.
00:14:15
tommy cresta
No, for especially for the budget, which I bet you was nothing on this movie.
00:14:19
Ryan
Yeah.
00:14:19
tommy cresta
And whatever that... the The thing in the cave that we keep hitting at.
00:14:23
Ryan
Yeah, that was all practical.
00:14:24
tommy cresta
That thing looked really good, which was definitely real.
00:14:24
Ryan
That looked cool.
00:14:28
tommy cresta
ah But yeah, I give Michael Shanks a lot of credit. This was definitely a tall order to do with such a small budget.
00:14:33
Ryan
Yeah. 17 million, by the way. 17.
00:14:36
tommy cresta
That's way bigger than I thought it was.
00:14:37
Ryan
Yeah. yeah Still not a ton, though.
00:14:40
tommy cresta
No.
00:14:41
Ryan
But I guess for like this movie, it's really only three settings.
00:14:45
tommy cresta
i mean, how much did they have to pay them, though?
00:14:48
Ryan
Yeah. I mean, I bet they did it for fairly cheap. I mean, you get to work with your partner and just kind of like do a fun little movie. I'm sure they didn't.
00:14:54
tommy cresta
I guess they got...
00:14:54
Ryan
They probably got paid, but I'm sure they they didn't ask like too much.
00:14:56
tommy cresta
And they're producers, so they got back in, probably.
00:14:58
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they they were probably fine just doing it for a lesser price. But also you get like, there's really only three, four settings. It's like the apartment in the beginning and then their house.
00:15:12
Ryan
um The other teacher, what was it? Jeremy or something? Or Jamie?
00:15:14
tommy cresta
Yeah, Jeremy.
00:15:15
Ryan
His house and then the school for a little bit that she works at.
00:15:18
tommy cresta
Yeah, which is like, I think one scenes at the school, two scenes are at the school.
00:15:22
Ryan
Two. Yeah.
00:15:25
tommy cresta
Seeing the school was good. Like the sticking together scene. and Seems very painful.
00:15:31
Ryan
Yeah, very.
00:15:35
Ryan
Yeah.
00:15:35
tommy cresta
But I like the, i think I like the concept more than the actual execution.
00:15:43
Ryan
Yeah, i mean, I can see that. I think, I mean, with the concept, there's definitely more to do, especially when you kind of learn more about why this is happening and what it is. You kind of There's another movie that you could have done.
00:15:55
Ryan
You know what i mean?
00:15:56
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:15:56
Ryan
If you go more towards that older era that you kind of see, there's, you know, it would be a very different movie. And I'm not saying that would have been better or worse, but just there's, you know, another story you could have told that could have been interesting. But I think for what it was, I really liked this movie.
00:16:12
tommy cresta
Yeah. i i I feel bad because I feel like I walked out so much more angry than... And I feel like that's just more of me in the moment the last couple times I've seen movies I've been excited for is I just want them to be so good and I'm expecting...
00:16:20
Ryan
Yeah.
00:16:26
tommy cresta
and Especially with horror movies because I think I want to be so scared. And I feel like i got so I was just so lucky have not seen so many horror movies when I was doing the horror countdown by myself. That like Hell House, Paranormal Activity.
00:16:38
tommy cresta
Like there were so many big name franchises. that in Like big name in the horror community that I had never seen before.
00:16:40
Ryan
Yeah.
00:16:44
tommy cresta
So then of course I'm be terrified when these movies come out.
00:16:48
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:16:49
tommy cresta
But yeah, I wish they definitely leaned more into the horror aspects of this story. But yeah, I think the scene in the cave, like when he when he's he's breathing in the whole rooms, moving with him and he looks over at her, her breathing like really quick.
00:17:02
Ryan
Yeah.
00:17:04
tommy cresta
That freaked me out a little bit.
00:17:04
Ryan
Yeah.
00:17:06
tommy cresta
But like because so I will say the I think I love the first half of this movie.
00:17:06
Ryan
yeah
00:17:11
tommy cresta
I think. Just like Barbarian, I love the first act of Barbarian, I think. I think there's a little part it just really doesn't. Jive with marketing that markets something one way and then goes completely a different direction.
00:17:25
Ryan
Yeah, I feel like the same with Barbarian. It's like they marketed it as a full-on like horror, suspenseful kind of movie, and then Barbarian kind of turns into like a monster horror and second in the third act.
00:17:37
tommy cresta
It's also just a comedy in the third act.
00:17:40
Ryan
Yeah, yeah. And I think that's that's where you don't like it is you get you get excited for a horror movie that's going to scare you. And then when it leans away from the scares and goes more into like maybe suspense or like drama or even comedy, then you're not a you're not a fan because you just get – you get your hopes so high for these movies.
00:17:58
Ryan
You really you really want to be scared.
00:17:59
tommy cresta
I want to get, I want to be scared.
00:18:01
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:03
tommy cresta
God, I just want to get scared. Hopefully weapons is scary. I will be. Beyond disappointed if weapons isn't scary.
00:18:10
Ryan
I mean, but weapons doesn't look like it's it's not going to be like a horror horror. It's going to be like a horror with like there's definitely going to be comedy beats in that movie.
00:18:19
tommy cresta
Well, but yeah i'm still I'm going into it like that because I know what he did with Barbarian.
00:18:20
Ryan
Because it's just so. Yeah, because it's just it's going to be such a like outlandish, crazy story or collection of stories that there's going to be like, you know, it's going to be that type of movie. So that's that's what I'm going into weapons thinking.
00:18:36
Ryan
That's what is that tomorrow?
00:18:36
tommy cresta
Conjuring.
00:18:38
Ryan
Or no, it's the 3rd. Why did I think it was June? I thought it was August 6th. I don't know why.
00:18:42
tommy cresta
thought today was August 6th?
00:18:44
Ryan
Yeah.
00:18:44
tommy cresta
No, today's August 3rd.
00:18:45
Ryan
It's not. It's the 3rd. Yeah.
00:18:47
tommy cresta
It
00:18:48
Ryan
Because it would be... It's coming out on the 8th, so you'd probably show times on the 7th, the night of. Yeah.
00:18:54
tommy cresta
I'm very excited for that movie. I'm excited for that.
00:18:56
Ryan
Yeah, so am I.
00:18:57
tommy cresta
excited for The Conjuring. I'm excited. Like, just horror movies. What else do we have coming?
00:19:03
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:19:04
tommy cresta
What's next?
00:19:07
tommy cresta
feel like there's...
00:19:07
Ryan
don't know what else is next.
00:19:09
tommy cresta
Yeah, Weapons... Oh, there's a horror movie called Strange Harvest coming out. Toxic Avengers coming out.
00:19:16
Ryan
Hell yeah.
00:19:17
tommy cresta
I'm so excited for Toxic Avenger.
00:19:19
Ryan
It's going to be so... It's going to be very fun or dog shit, but I feel like it's going to be fun. it's gonna be Even if it's bad, it's probably going to be fun bad.
00:19:29
tommy cresta
Yeah, but it could also drag.
00:19:31
Ryan
Yeah. I don't think it's that long though, is it? thought it was pretty short.
00:19:34
tommy cresta
and
00:19:36
Ryan
i don't know I don't know if they even released the time. I'm just kind of thinking.
00:19:38
tommy cresta
It's an hour and 42 minutes.
00:19:40
Ryan
That's not too bad.
00:19:43
tommy cresta
I'll give Naked Gun credit. It was only an hour and 20 minutes.
00:19:45
Ryan
Yeah.
00:19:48
tommy cresta
Damn, all the Conjuring movies and all the Harry Potter movies are all going to be back in theaters.

Yep. Yep.
00:20:36
Ryan
That's insane.
00:20:37
tommy cresta
Well, people think scalpers bought the tickets.
00:20:37
Ryan
Fuck.
00:20:40
Ryan
Yeah, probably.
00:20:42
tommy cresta
Bastard.
00:20:43
Ryan
That sucks.
00:20:46
tommy cresta
Oh, we got Freakier Friday.
00:20:50
Ryan
Fun.
00:20:52
tommy cresta
and she so excited oh Nobody 2.
00:20:56
Ryan
Yeah, that should be good.
00:20:57
tommy cresta
That's the But yeah, we got Weapons and that.
00:20:58
Ryan
Okay.
00:21:03
Ryan
Yeah, we got some things going. Weapons is going to be next.
00:21:05
tommy cresta
got Charlie Hort.
00:21:07
Ryan
We'll see weapons next. It'll
00:21:08
tommy cresta
I'm so excited. Hopefully it's good. I was so excited for Barbarian, so
00:21:11
Ryan
be good.
00:21:12
tommy cresta
Zach Kregor, you go for two.
00:21:15
Ryan
But you're on the minority of Barbarian. People really like Barbarian.
00:21:19
tommy cresta
Have you watched Barbarian yet?
00:21:21
Ryan
No, but I know people like it a lot.
00:21:22
tommy cresta
You should watch it.
00:21:24
Ryan
Okay, I'll probably like it.
00:21:26
tommy cresta
Yeah, but you should that's what I'm saying. You should watch it for before weapons.
00:21:27
Ryan
All right, I'll watch it. Okay, I will.
00:21:31
tommy cresta
Because then we then I can see what you think.
00:21:34
Ryan
Yeah.
00:21:34
tommy cresta
Especially now that you know what it is.
00:21:36
Ryan
Yeah.
00:21:39
tommy cresta
um
00:21:39
Ryan
Will do.
00:21:41
tommy cresta
What did want to say about this movie?
00:21:45
tommy cresta
Again, we were doing... Because we don't want to break out of our habit, everyone, of like not doing it. We want we want to stay on track. But there wasn't really a movie else we wanted do together. So this was just a shortened episode.
00:21:59
tommy cresta
Yeah, I loved all the performances. And again, it's just one of those movies where we both said that soon as they showed the other teacher, were like, this guy's got to be involved.
00:22:07
Ryan
yeah
00:22:08
tommy cresta
Like, there's no... like and i didn't don't think i I don't think I like the idea of them actually becoming one person. I don't think I thought that's what it was going to be.
00:22:20
Ryan
i mean i didn't really think that's what it was going to be because i didn't i didn't know i thought maybe they would blend together like the like the dog well i guess we can do spoilers now since we kind of gave our thoughts so this is spoilers so the opening scene with the dog i thought
00:22:31
tommy cresta
That
00:22:34
Ryan
It may have been like the scariest scene in the entire movie.
00:22:34
tommy cresta
was a good scene. That was creepy as hell.
00:22:36
Ryan
It was awesome. um But I thought it was just going to be like that. Like I didn't know there was a quote unquote good outcome where it can go right and you two can become like a one person.
00:22:49
Ryan
But I will say like Jamie, if you look back at the the old tapes that he has and the old pictures of like the two of them together, him and his and and his partner, um he still looks the same.
00:23:01
Ryan
Or am I crazy? like It didn't look like he changed...
00:23:03
tommy cresta
Yeah, like that's not two people.
00:23:06
Ryan
Yeah, like it's just, it's just, Jamie is on the outside and then the other guy, I forget the name. I don't even know if they gave him a name. I'm sure they did, but I forget.
00:23:13
tommy cresta
He did. don't remember it.
00:23:14
Ryan
Yeah, I don't remember. He, when Alison Brie punches him in the face, you see the other guy come out for a second.
00:23:20
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:23:20
Ryan
You see them like split a little bit. But then in the end with Franco and Alison Brie, like the main couple, they... become one person and have like aspects of themselves.
00:23:32
Ryan
Like it's CGI that their faces come together. It looks weird and it has like shorter hair and it's just Dave Franco's voice and like more so her face.
00:23:37
tommy cresta
Looks horrible, first off.
00:23:41
Ryan
and it's very weird looking, but don't understand why Jamie, I could be crazy. Maybe they just like, maybe they found an actor to try to make these two guys, the younger versions, like look the same.
00:23:52
Ryan
So it is, you know, both of them together physically, But to me, it just looked like young it looks like young Jamie was just Jamie. And there was the other guy who was inside of him.
00:24:02
Ryan
So maybe like, i don't know, maybe they can like switch out and like Jamie is like out and being the teacher and like living, making the money and stuff. and then the other guy can come out now and again and, you know, have his own life somewhat maybe.
00:24:14
Ryan
But I don't know, maybe not.
00:24:15
tommy cresta
i Yeah, like don't understand how like the being one person works.
00:24:20
Ryan
Well, it's just one. You just become one.
00:24:22
tommy cresta
Yeah, but like can they can can you have kids?
00:24:25
Ryan
No.
00:24:27
Ryan
You are one person.
00:24:28
tommy cresta
Hmm.
00:24:29
Ryan
I mean, he says it. It's the most intimate possible thing.
00:24:34
Ryan
Because you're literally one person, oneself. I imagine you can communicate to each other and you're just always constantly together, obviously. So it's just.
00:24:41
tommy cresta
That's horrible.
00:24:43
Ryan
Yeah.
00:24:44
tommy cresta
That sounds like the worst thing in the world. It's
00:24:48
Ryan
I'm not disagreeing with you, but that's that's that's what it was.
00:24:49
tommy cresta
also just bad. Again, this movie this whole movie is showing how bad it is for everyone listening. This movie is just showing you how bad it is to be codependent to someone.
Final Thoughts and Fan Questions on Horror
00:25:00
tommy cresta
It's not healthy. There's a difference between loving a human being and then being codependent.
00:25:03
Ryan
There's a healthy...
00:25:07
tommy cresta
Codependency is to a point. is like
00:25:09
Ryan
Yeah, to a point. like There's a healthy amount of it, but it's to the point...
00:25:11
tommy cresta
yeah Yeah, like living together and loving someone and not being able to be your own person.
00:25:13
Ryan
like Yeah, living together and... The director was saying before, he's like, I've realized that me and my wife, I think, were like you know we watch the same movies, we watch the same shows, we eat the same things, we have the same friends, we live in the same place.
00:25:28
Ryan
Codependency is fine, but... But to a point where it's like if one if both partners are OK with it and have like a healthy amount of distance from each other, like you have your own friends, maybe you're like, you know, you can cross things.
00:25:41
tommy cresta
Yeah, you still want your own life. you You want to go do your own thing.
00:25:43
Ryan
Yeah. To an extent. Yeah. But it's also unhealthy when it's one person is far more codependent than the other. And you kind of see that in this movie where. um Franco's... Franco is a little bit more dependent on Alison Brie because she's bringing in the money. She actually has a job.
00:26:01
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:26:02
Ryan
like he's He's a struggling musician who just kind of is still chasing it even though he's... What do they say? He was like 35, something like that.
00:26:09
tommy cresta
Yeah, 35. 35.
00:26:09
Ryan
So yeah, and she's kind of supporting him where he's... you know She's thinking about like breaking up with him a little bit, but she still loves him. So there's kind of a point of that where it's kind of unhealthy on Franco's end, even though he's not like...
00:26:24
tommy cresta
Even though she might be codependent on him at first because she's the one that seems to love him more.
00:26:24
Ryan
you know,
00:26:29
Ryan
yeah. I mean, she, she wants it to work out so bad that he's kind of like, you know, she does the whole,
00:26:34
tommy cresta
Because they even bring up a valid them being like twinning and he changes.
00:26:38
Ryan
yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah. It's just kind of like, it's a weird faltering relationship in the beginning, but then they, you know, they learn that they, they do love each other and they want to be together forever.
00:26:42
tommy cresta
weird dynamic.
00:26:49
Ryan
So they become one single person.
00:26:50
tommy cresta
It was a weird happy ending to a movie.
00:26:53
Ryan
Yeah.
00:26:53
tommy cresta
think i wouldve preferred if she died too, which sounds horrible, but I think it would for a better ending than that weird ending we got.
00:26:54
Ryan
um
00:26:57
Ryan
She died. don't know.
00:27:02
Ryan
I don't think so. I don't know. We got the happy ending.
00:27:08
Ryan
You don't like happiness, so i don't I know why you don't want that.
00:27:09
tommy cresta
No, I don't like, I don't like that. I don't get why all horror movies need to have good endings. I feel like that doesn't, i don't know.
00:27:17
Ryan
They don't all have good endings.
00:27:18
tommy cresta
A lot of them do.
00:27:20
Ryan
It's true. lot of them don't.
00:27:23
tommy cresta
I feel like I'm a lot... Name me maybe five horror movies that don't have a good ending.
00:27:28
Ryan
Hell House.
00:27:32
Ryan
The first one does not have a good ending.
00:27:33
tommy cresta
Yeah, you're right. Bird Hell House does not have a good ending. have
00:27:37
Ryan
I'm trying to think.
00:27:38
tommy cresta
They do die.
00:27:40
Ryan
um Nightmare on Elm Street. That's classic. I'll try to think more modern stuff.
00:27:46
tommy cresta
That's fair, though.
00:27:47
Ryan
Yeah.
00:27:49
Ryan
I'm trying to think.
00:27:53
Ryan
You think of some too because you've watched way more horror movies than I have. trying to think of modern yeah strangers does not yeah open up modern horror movies
00:27:57
tommy cresta
Strangers. That's the one I always think of. cause i always think That's why I think that the Strangers is like the one I'm always like, that's the best. Because they die.
00:28:06
tommy cresta
feel like the Boogeyman does and the Woman in the Yard has a happy ending. again Imaginary.
00:28:10
Ryan
yeah depending on which version of the descent you watch that usually doesn't have a good ending neither of them are good endings but the one she gets away and the other one it was a dream
00:28:12
tommy cresta
Night Swim.
00:28:19
tommy cresta
First off, they both have...
00:28:22
tommy cresta
Yeah. yeah Unless you watch the sequel. Because then she goes back.
00:28:29
Ryan
yeah
00:28:29
tommy cresta
Which is so stupid. Should have never been a sequel. Yeah. yeah the first The theatrical version should have been the only ending of that movie. Where she doesn't get out.
00:28:38
Ryan
yeah Cabin in the Woods is kind of like a in the middle ending because they do win but the world also gets destroyed.
00:28:42
tommy cresta
Yeah like an MCU. Yeah. Like they're okay. I mean they're stuck in those cases.
00:28:47
Ryan
Well no they die.
00:28:48
tommy cresta
But.
00:28:49
Ryan
No they're dead.
00:28:50
tommy cresta
They lived.
00:28:51
Ryan
They're dead as shit. They live and then they release the world destroying. They're still on Earth which gets destroyed. They're dead.
00:28:56
tommy cresta
No, they get stuck in the they get stuck in the glass thing. The things they've released, they get stuck in one of those cases, don't they?
00:29:03
Ryan
I know. No, but then they go out and they kill Sigourney Weaver and then they release the fucking, the bad.
00:29:04
tommy cresta
Yeah, so they're okay.
00:29:09
tommy cresta
I need to watch that movie again.
00:29:11
Ryan
No, there's like the the guy, because they're killing all these people to keep this fucking world-destroying monster appeased. And then they need, don't they, isn't that they need her to die because they need the virgin blood or some shit?
00:29:23
tommy cresta
Yeah, the virgin blood they need.
00:29:23
Ryan
And then, yeah, they need her to die. And then i think, don't they kill Sigourney Weaver and put Sigourney Weaver's blood in the thing? And then the bad guy gets pissed off and he destroys, you see the hand come out and he destroys the world.
00:29:35
tommy cresta
Yeah, because there's like a joke they make because that she's not a virgin.
00:29:41
Ryan
Yeah.
00:29:42
tommy cresta
yeah yeah You've still never seen that movie.
00:29:44
Ryan
I've seen most of it. I've seen the ending, so I know that.
00:29:47
tommy cresta
James Angenese. That's his name, right?
00:29:50
Ryan
James A. Janisse. I have watched that video, but I have seen most of the movie.
00:29:51
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:29:53
Ryan
Actual movie.
00:29:54
tommy cresta
Great movie. Filmed two years before it was released. filmed then fin Filmed and edited two years before. And then it got canned.
00:30:04
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:05
tommy cresta
And then Chris Hemsworth got but famous because of Thor and then they released it.
00:30:05
Ryan
Really?
00:30:08
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:10
tommy cresta
Cool little factoid for all of you.
00:30:12
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:14
tommy cresta
um But yeah, if I will say with everything I just said about this movie, I still gave it What did I give it?
00:30:22
Ryan
Oh, the Smile movies do not have very good endings. I mean, good endings, but not happy endings.
00:30:27
tommy cresta
Yeah, I guess maybe...
00:30:28
Ryan
Both of them.
00:30:29
tommy cresta
i guess maybe I feel like horror just needs...
00:30:30
Ryan
Bring Her Back. Bring Her Back has lukewarm ending because the girl gets away, but the guy, the boy dies.
00:30:35
tommy cresta
Yeah, they all get away.
00:30:37
Ryan
No, the boy gets fucking drowned in a puddle.
00:30:40
tommy cresta
Oh, boy.
00:30:41
Ryan
The main the main kid. I forget the names already. But his sister, the the blind girl, she gets away, but she's her whole fucking family's dead. And she just gets picked up.
00:30:50
tommy cresta
Oh, bring her back. I was thinking, talk to me. Yeah, he does die.
00:30:53
Ryan
Yeah. Talk to me doesn't have a happy ending.
00:30:54
tommy cresta
Yeah, maybe but maybe I'm wrong. I'm sorry. that Yeah, you're right.
00:30:57
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:58
tommy cresta
Maybe it's just because bad horror movies have happy endings that most of the time I disassociate that.
00:31:03
Ryan
Yeah.
00:31:05
tommy cresta
Maybe that's why.
00:31:05
Ryan
Like, long legs.
00:31:05
tommy cresta
Maybe I just like because good horror movies have bad bad endings most of the time. Because all the horror movies just named are considered really good horror movies.
00:31:09
Ryan
Yeah. Long legs at a... Mm-hmm. Long legs had a lukewarm ending because she gets she gets the girl out of there.
00:31:18
tommy cresta
Banging movie.
00:31:18
Ryan
The little girl, but then the the detective already we got possessed and kills his wife.
00:31:21
tommy cresta
All the alien movies.
00:31:23
Ryan
Well, yeah.
00:31:24
tommy cresta
They're lukewarm endings every time. Long legs. No, I mean Romulus especially. That creepy fuck comes out
00:31:36
Ryan
Yeah.
00:31:36
tommy cresta
What would you give this movie? I gave it a 66. I
00:31:39
Ryan
I would. Damn. 82. Because I still thought it was good.
00:31:43
tommy cresta
i mean, a 66 is still...
00:31:43
Ryan
I didn't.
00:31:44
tommy cresta
and It's not bad.
00:31:46
Ryan
It's not good. Would you watch a movie? If you were watching looking for movies and you were like, oh, 66, I can find something better. you're not going to watch that movie.
00:31:54
tommy cresta
i would. 82 is a really good movie.
00:31:57
Ryan
Yeah, I thought this was a really good movie.
00:31:59
tommy cresta
Yeah, so I'm...
00:32:00
Ryan
With issues.
00:32:00
tommy cresta
F1 an 81. 81. ah gave f one and eighty one
00:32:04
Ryan
Okay. I thought this was better than F1. F1 was more fun than this movie, but...
00:32:08
tommy cresta
Yeah, no, you're probably right. It's probably better made movie than F1.
00:32:12
Ryan
Yeah.
00:32:13
tommy cresta
I think...
00:32:16
tommy cresta
Better made, I didn't i didn't like it as much.
00:32:16
Ryan
Because like we said, like, yeah, you can you can not like it as much as me.
00:32:20
tommy cresta
That's why I think I gave it a 66. Out of enjoyment, this would be 50. ah fifty
00:32:25
Ryan
Yeah.
00:32:25
tommy cresta
But quality goes up.
00:32:26
Ryan
Because like, yeah, like we said, like when it, yeah, when it makes that transition to like horror comedy, I wish it didn't.
00:32:27
tommy cresta
Because filmmaking-wise, I really liked it.
00:32:34
Ryan
But at the same time, the comedy does still work. Like we both laughed at several jokes.
00:32:37
tommy cresta
Oh, one of the funniest scenes is when it cuts away from the Saw scene.
00:32:40
Ryan
Yeah. Like it it does.
00:32:41
tommy cresta
i left it I got a good laugh.
00:32:42
Ryan
Yeah. The jokes work. like it's not It's not like, oh, it turned to comedy and it was just bad comedy. It was good comedy. I just wish it wasn't comedy. But for what it was, it was still a good job of trying the of doing what it was doing.
00:32:54
tommy cresta
What would you give Happy Gilmore to?
00:32:54
Ryan
So. 97?
00:32:59
tommy cresta
Actually, what would you give Happy Gilmore to?
00:33:01
Ryan
I don't know. It's not as good as the first one, but it was still fun. 73? 73? seventy-th three
00:33:08
tommy cresta
ka Our scores are not that different for how much of you hated on me from how I reacted to Happy Gilmore.
00:33:12
Ryan

00:33:14
tommy cresta
63.
00:33:15
Ryan
sixty three Okay. You just don't like fun.

tommy cresta
I liked it.
00:33:17
Ryan
You just don't like fun. It's fine.
00:33:20
tommy cresta

00:33:26
Ryan
What was that?
00:33:27
tommy cresta
Well, you didn't even give the movie a score.
00:33:30
Ryan
Oh.
00:33:31
tommy cresta
I gave to Warfare.
00:33:31
Ryan
Oh, yeah.
00:33:31
tommy cresta
Your closest is an 89 for Sinners.
00:33:32

00:33:40
Ryan
Okay. Okay.
00:33:42
Ryan
Okay. What
00:33:44
tommy cresta
because then... ah Something else I watched. I just scrolled past it. I mean, you both gave it a really high score.
00:33:52
Ryan

00:33:53
tommy cresta
Yeah, 88 and 87 from us.
00:33:53

00:34:09
tommy cresta
Dude, Wolfman. Still at a 75. I've seen a movie twice. don't care what anyone has to say about that movie.
00:34:14

00:34:27
tommy cresta
Mission and Impossible, 86.
00:34:30
tommy cresta
But yeah, i I think though, if you are a fan of like body horror and stuff, this is still... a really well-made body horror movie. There are so many worse movies out there.
00:34:40
tommy cresta
So many worse horror movies, so many worse movies in total. It's, go watch it. It is enjoyable. It is still a good movie. It still has some good scares in it.
00:34:51
Ryan
Yeah.
00:34:51
tommy cresta
Um, yeah, and if Ryan, if i mean, Ryan gave an A2, that shows you someone who, I mean, Ryan has definitely grown his enjoyment the horror genre a lot.
00:35:01
Ryan
Yeah.
00:35:01
tommy cresta
I mean, but, I mean, it is a good, it is still a good horror movie. And a 66 for me, is that's still a good time i think that's so good score.
00:35:08
Ryan
Yeah. And even outside of horror, it's still, it's just a good movie.
00:35:12
tommy cresta
Yeah, like, I mean, it's well made.

00:35:55
Ryan

00:36:00
tommy cresta
Terrorfire 3 is not a fun movie. That was maybe one of the
00:36:02
Ryan
If you see Saul X alone, you're like, that was a lot of fun. I like that. You should talk to somebody.
00:36:05

00:37:36
tommy cresta
The one from, fuck, Urban Legends. Me and Sam watched it during Halloween. And we it got to like the explanation of why she was doing what she was doing. And me and Sam were like, this is such a valid reason to kill people.

00:38:13
Ryan
Oh, there's definitely one.
00:38:14
tommy cresta
he
00:38:15

00:38:15
tommy cresta
It might be the one from Saul. that That one did stick with for a while.
00:38:17
Ryan
Yeah, the leg. The leg was tough.
00:38:20
tommy cresta
The leg was tough. It didn't it didn't shy away from like showing it. Hearing it.
00:38:25
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:38:27
tommy cresta
Terrifier 3's bathroom scene was pretty terrible. The chainsaw.
00:38:33
Ryan
Yeah.
00:38:33
tommy cresta
Little kick in chopped up in beginning.
00:38:35
Ryan
Well, also the... i mean, for you, The Strangers, just the end of that movie stuck with you forever. You still bring it up every chance you get.
00:38:41
tommy cresta
No, it's not the end. It's the beginning. so It's when she's getting the glass of water and he like he's in the shadow behind her.
00:38:45
Ryan
The beginning.
00:38:48
Ryan
Oh, yeah. He's just standing there.

Ryan
Yeah.
00:38:56
tommy cresta
It freaks me the fuck out every time I go in there.

tommy cresta
No one died, but...
00:39:14
Ryan
I was like, no. ah Yeah, that sucked.
00:39:19
tommy cresta
If you were trapped in a horror movie, which one would would you actually just actually survive? Yo, I'm beating...
00:39:27

Which woman would I survive?
00:39:28
tommy cresta
I'm not gonna lie. I am beating the absolute dog shit out of Chucky. I mean, I'm throwing hands. I'm shooting.
00:39:38
tommy cresta
And The Strangers. I think I would actually survive The Strangers movies.
00:39:43
Ryan
Maybe.
00:39:44
tommy cresta
First off, I wouldn't do...
00:39:44
Ryan
Pretty smart, though.
00:39:46
tommy cresta
Yeah. But also wouldn't shoot my friend.
00:39:49
Ryan
True.
00:39:49
tommy cresta

tommy cresta
No.
00:39:53

00:39:58
tommy cresta
and wouldn't be stupid about it. I feel like I could... i feel like The so Strangers are smart, though.
00:40:04
Ryan
Mm
00:40:04
tommy cresta
like They knew what they were doing by getting Glenn Howard and killed. like Letting him get in there and stuff.
00:40:08
Ryan
hmm.
00:40:08
tommy cresta
they If they wanted they could have killed him, but they knew what their plan was.
00:40:11
Ryan
Yeah, no, they do. um
00:40:14
tommy cresta
Yeah, I feel like Chucky, though. I feel like I could beat Chucky up.
00:40:19
tommy cresta
Michael Myers would pick me up and beat the piss out of me.
00:40:22
Ryan
Yeah, I'm trying to think of a good one. Saw, I wouldn't survive. I'd be like, no, it's fine.
00:40:27
tommy cresta
Just kill me.
00:40:28
Ryan

00:40:31
tommy cresta
That's not worth it. Hellraiser. i don't want to be i don't want to be part of that.
00:40:37
Ryan
No, fuck that. No, not Hellraiser.
00:40:39
tommy cresta
Chatterteeth? Fuck that. He scares to think other guys.
00:40:44
Ryan
It's still the funniest text from your dad ever.
00:40:47
tommy cresta
You false Saddam Hussein. That's not as scary Saddam Hussein is not as scary as Chatterteeth.
00:40:56
tommy cresta
ah That question was from Brooke from tam ah Tampa, Florida.
00:40:56
Ryan
God.
00:41:00
Ryan
Tampa.
00:41:02
tommy cresta
Yeah, you just you gotta give your answer, though.
00:41:04
Ryan
I'm trying to think. Did you know the Tampa Bay Lightning is owned by the Yakuza, supposedly?
00:41:06
tommy cresta
All right.
00:41:09
Ryan
I watched the video on this.
00:41:10
tommy cresta
that why they're so good?
00:41:10
Ryan
No, the owner, I think it's the lightning or the, um, who's the other? No, it's not the Panthers. It is the lightning. The, uh, the owner is a Japanese guy who has never been seen or photographed with the team ever.
00:41:23
Ryan
won Nobody's ever met him because they were, they were looking for money to, you know, get by the expansion team and build a stadium and all that.
00:41:25
tommy cresta
Really?
00:41:30
Ryan
And this other buyer came in and they're like, he's got money. Sure. And everybody's like, that's a little, that's a little weird.
00:41:37
tommy cresta
a little suspicious.
00:41:38
Ryan
Yeah. So now the, I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, but this the theory is that it's a money laundering front for the Yakuza, which is pretty it's pretty fun.
00:41:47
tommy cresta
That's a pretty cool theory. you
00:41:48
Ryan
It's pretty cool. Yeah.
00:41:51
tommy cresta
Kucherov's just the front for a money laundering scheme for the Yakuza.
00:41:57
tommy cresta
I'm trying to think of who you could fight.
00:42:00
Ryan
Yeah.
00:42:00
tommy cresta
Trying to fight Volokh?
00:42:03
tommy cresta
Trying to throw hands with a nun?
00:42:04
Ryan
No! Absolutely not.
00:42:07
tommy cresta
You and Annabelle going have a fist fight?
00:42:09
Ryan
Fuck no.
00:42:11
tommy cresta
Basheba?
00:42:13

00:47:39
Ryan

00:47:40
tommy cresta

00:47:41
Ryan
Every fucking... Every bit of that fucking movie. I don't want it.
00:47:45
tommy cresta
And then the stupid ass balloon in my basement.

00:47:48
tommy cresta
That shit was a paid actor.
00:47:49

tommy cresta
um Genuinely scared me that I didn't watch it again.
00:47:59

I don't think there's been a movie I haven't watched again. Because I think I went...
00:48:02
Ryan
Oh, you know what good opening?
00:48:04
tommy cresta
Hmm.
00:48:04
Ryan
X. The cops just walk onto the scene and is like, this looks like war one fucked up horror picture.
00:48:07
tommy cresta
Oh, yeah. It's like, what the fuck happened here?
00:48:10
Ryan
And then the fucking, yeah, the music starts playing.
00:48:10
tommy cresta
And then they pick up the camera and then it hits like the starting...
00:48:13
Ryan
That's a good opening. Not a scary opening, but a good opening for a movie.
00:48:16
tommy cresta
Really good opening, though. To a fantastic movie.
00:48:19
Ryan
Yeah.
00:48:22
tommy cresta
I'm not going to lie. i don't I don't think I'll ever watch Terrifier 3 again.
00:48:27
tommy cresta
Especially that I almost threw up the last time I watched it.
00:48:27
Ryan
Yeah.
00:48:30
Ryan
Oh, another good opening. Talk to me. Remember when the guy, he's at the house party and he's trying to find his brother and he opens the door.
00:48:35
tommy cresta
Oh, and he...
00:48:37
Ryan
Yeah, that's a good fucking movie.
00:48:37
tommy cresta
Yeah, and they stabbed him in the kitchen.
00:48:39
Ryan
Yeah.
00:48:40
tommy cresta
Yeah, and then Connor looked at me he's like, what the fuck did you bring me to go see Because it scared the shit out of him. He was so mad at me.
00:48:46
Ryan
Yeah.
00:48:49
Ryan
It's a good movie. Fuck.
00:48:52
tommy cresta
I still remember getting to see. That was one of the best moments on the podcast was when we made the agreement. I was like, if men debuts above a 70, we got to go see it.
00:49:01
Ryan
Mm hmm. Yeah.
00:49:03
tommy cresta
And then now it sits at like a 60. So thank God debuted high.
00:49:05
Ryan
Yeah. And I think for Talk to Me, I think because they did that. It's all a one take, the opening scene. I think remember the older brother kicks down the door and finds him in the bedroom.
00:49:14
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:49:14
Ryan
I think they only had like three or four doors, I think. And I think it was the last take. They got it.
00:49:20
tommy cresta
Oh, really?
00:49:21
Ryan
Yeah. So they were like, fuck, this might have to.
00:49:22
tommy cresta
That's a good... theyre They're really good sound design because the way the noise the knife makes when he stabs him, it's really creepy.
00:49:27
Ryan
Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah, they're good.
00:49:31
tommy cresta
He doesn't die, though, because that's the one you see later in the movie, isn't it?
00:49:33
Ryan
No, yeah, he survives.
00:49:34
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:49:34
Ryan
The little brother kills himself, but yeah.
00:49:36
tommy cresta
Yeah. um
00:49:39
Ryan
Good movie.
00:49:41
tommy cresta
If you could pick any horror director to make a new franchise, who would it be?
00:49:47
Ryan
Any horror director?
00:49:47
tommy cresta
Alina from San Francisco. Does this mean, like,
00:49:49
Ryan

00:49:51
tommy cresta
Yeah, I guess Mike Flanagan.
00:49:52
Ryan
Immediately.
00:49:52
tommy cresta
But does this mean like remake a franchise? of like a heart or like Make a new horror franchise.
00:49:58
Ryan
i mean, if they can make their own, then.
00:50:00
tommy cresta
I mean, James Wan.
00:50:01
Ryan
Yeah, i was going to say James Wan is just thinking of fucked up shit constantly.
00:50:04
tommy cresta
Flanagan's up there.
00:50:09
tommy cresta
I wouldn't mind Cognetti making like a newfound footage franchise.
00:50:13
Ryan
Yeah.
00:50:14
tommy cresta
i would I would like to see him do something along lines of the Descent style. Like in the woods or something.
00:50:19
Ryan
Okay.
00:50:23
tommy cresta
I like found footage in the woods.
00:50:23
Ryan
Yeah, that be cool. Yeah. I mean, if Flanagan just got like
00:50:27
tommy cresta
and
00:50:30
Ryan
I'm trying to think of if there's a long book series. Well, he's doing the Dark Tower series, isn't he?
00:50:34
tommy cresta
Are they scary?
00:50:36
Ryan
I think there's like scary parts of them, but it's just Stephen King like madness.
00:50:39
tommy cresta
I never never got into them.
00:50:43
tommy cresta
um
00:50:43
Ryan
Just random shit.
00:50:44
tommy cresta
I didn't know Stephen King wrote them.
00:50:45
Ryan
I heard they're though.
00:50:48
tommy cresta
Who's the best final girl of all time? Oh no, what's the best final girl performance of all time?
00:50:54
Ryan
I mean, fucking Halloween.
00:50:56
tommy cresta
Sydney Prescott.
00:50:57
Ryan
um Sydney Prescott's up there. Fucking, what's her name? Jimmy Lee Curtis.
00:51:01
tommy cresta
Yeah, Laurie Strode.
00:51:02
Ryan
Halloween is up there. Yeah.
00:51:05
tommy cresta
Sydney Prescott's that girl, though. She'd be dogging out the ghost face.
00:51:09
Ryan
Yeah. Talking about performance, though.
00:51:12
tommy cresta
Yeah, but she's always great Sydney Prescott.
00:51:14
Ryan
No, I know she is. I'm not disagreeing with you.
00:51:18
tommy cresta
i mean, Mia Goth in X. She's fantastic that movie.
00:51:22
Ryan
Yeah, and X. She's great in all three of them. Just that Maxine wasn't very good.
00:51:26
tommy cresta
Yeah, the movie's not very good. Um... Probably they have, like, great final girls.
00:51:35
tommy cresta
I mean, those are the best ones, I think. I don't think the ones in Jason even compare... the Friday the 13th compare. don't think the Slash and franchise compared to those ones.
00:51:45
Ryan
Yeah.
00:51:45
tommy cresta
Uh, the girl in Nightmare on Elm Street's pretty good. The later ones. Um...
00:51:50
Ryan
She is good.
00:51:51
tommy cresta
ah What horror movie twist completely caught you off guard? Nina from Cincinnati, Ohio. Horror movie twist.
00:51:57
Ryan
Cincinnati.
00:52:06
tommy cresta
trying to think of big twist in a horror movie.
00:52:06
Ryan
movie twist. Yeah.
00:52:10
tommy cresta
I mean, don't get around, there are plenty of them.
00:52:12
Ryan
Yeah.
00:52:13
tommy cresta
I mean, the twist and afflicted that i didn't even know with the movie because I didn't know anything about the movie.
00:52:22
tommy cresta
Pretty cool.
00:52:24
Ryan
I mean, Get Out's twist is good. It's not like a twist. It's just a reveal of what's actually happening.
00:52:30
tommy cresta
Yeah, what's actually happening.
00:52:32
Ryan
Yeah. I guess the the twist of the the daughter, his girlfriend, being in on it is good.
00:52:37
tommy cresta
Ooh, that is a good twist.
00:52:39
Ryan
Yeah.
00:52:40
tommy cresta
Oh, Tony Collette being part of it in Hereditary.
00:52:44
Ryan
She's not really part of it. She gets fucking um
00:52:49
tommy cresta
Possessed.
00:52:49
Ryan
possessed. Yeah.
00:52:51
tommy cresta
Overrated movie.
00:52:53
Ryan
You think? Hmm.
00:52:55
tommy cresta
I've never been the biggest Hereditary fan. Her performance is unbelievable in that movie.
00:53:00
Ryan
Yeah.
00:53:01
tommy cresta
Still snubbed for an Oscar.
00:53:05
tommy cresta
Biggest twist in a horror movie. can't think of any of them right now.
00:53:11
tommy cresta
Oh, there's a twist in VHS.
00:53:18
tommy cresta
Beyond. It's really good.
00:53:22
Ryan
No.
00:53:22
tommy cresta
I don't want to spoil it, but... I mean, no, I don't want to spoil for anyone. It's really good. Which horror setting is more terrifying? Haunted House, Abandoned Asylum, or The Woods?
00:53:37
tommy cresta
Man, I feel like I've seen so many of each one.
00:53:38
Ryan
I mean, they're all scary.
00:53:41
tommy cresta
They're all pretty fucking terrible. feel like Abandoned Asylum after Jojima is the worst.
00:53:43
Ryan
Haunted Asylum is scary as shit. Yeah.
00:53:46
tommy cresta
Because they just then...
00:53:46
Ryan
Because the woods is scary in general. But yeah i feel like you can run enough. If you're stuck in an abandoned asylum, there's only so many. There's only so far you can go.
00:53:55
tommy cresta
In a house, you can bust down the door. figure out an asylum is just so big, you might get a lost.
00:53:58
Ryan
Yeah.
00:54:02
tommy cresta
Yeah, I'm going to say Asylum with you.
00:54:03
Ryan
Asylum's scary.
00:54:05
tommy cresta
That's from Greg in Nashville. ah What horror movie villain would make the worst roommate? The Babadook.
00:54:14
Ryan
Probably Freddy Krueger.
00:54:17
tommy cresta
No, could slice up some some food.
00:54:20
Ryan
Yeah, and he's going to be like, these are actually fingers, not hot dogs. how He's going to be an asshole.
00:54:28
tommy cresta
um
00:54:29
Ryan
Michael Myers be fine because he's going to be all quiet, keep to himself.
00:54:33
tommy cresta
Yeah, until you turn the corners just standing there. Breeze
00:54:35
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, he's going to stand in the corner of your room while you're sleeping, but yeah you get used to it.
00:54:39
tommy cresta
like he's wearing a sleep apnea mask.
00:54:41
Ryan
It's fine. You just, you know, he'll breathe you sleep.
00:54:47
Ryan
It's like a lullaby.
00:54:47
tommy cresta
Me and Ghostface would be vibing because we would always watch scary movies.
00:54:51
Ryan
Yeah.
00:54:54
tommy cresta
I mean, Hellraiser would suck. Pinhead.
00:54:58
Ryan
Yeah, that would suck pretty bad.
00:54:59
tommy cresta
He would always be like, you want to play games? you meant No.
00:55:01
Ryan
Yeah. Nosferatu. Nosferatu would be really annoying because he's just trying to fuck you the whole time.
00:55:06
tommy cresta
oh
00:55:07
Ryan
The horny bastard. Yeah.
00:55:10

00:55:21

00:55:30
Ryan

Ryan
He liked it a lot. And then I showed him End of Watch. He liked that a lot.
00:59:45
tommy cresta
Which one do you like? One of the more? was
00:59:49
Ryan
Sicario is a better movie, but End of Watch is more fun for the most part.
00:59:54
tommy cresta
going to say fun.
00:59:54
Ryan
there's There's two dad-approved movies that are good.
00:59:54
tommy cresta
I don't know if that would describe it.
01:00:01
Ryan
I'll give you those two.
01:00:02
tommy cresta
End the Watch so sad, though.
01:00:04
Ryan
Yeah, but the first, like, first two acts and then most of the third is fun.
01:00:12
Ryan
and know so When they're in the car just talking shit, it's hilarious.
01:00:15
tommy cresta
yeah
01:00:16
Ryan
Because the the chemistry between Pena and Gyllenhaal is just perfect. Like, they feel like they have been partners for years. They're just talking shit to each other. It's very funny.
01:00:29
Ryan
Go ahead. Pull the hair off your microphone.
01:00:32
Ryan
You got it.
01:00:33
tommy cresta

01:00:34
Ryan
All right. It's fine.
01:00:35
tommy cresta
I'll get it after. Those are good ones. Both fantastic movies.

tommy cresta
Naked Gun. The original one. Or Police Squad. The show. Just the same thing. It was just the show. But both are... All of them are hilarious. Go watch those movies. Just the movie... The new one with Liam Neeson is also hilarious.
01:01:24
tommy cresta
Go watch any of them. They're the best. If you want to go sit down and watch the dumbest humor you've ever seen, but also just crack up during it, go watch them. Ryan's never seen them.
01:01:34
Ryan
Yeah.
01:01:35

Ryan needs to watch them. They're so funny.
01:01:37
