Jo and Amelie tackle three screeners in one jam-packed Streamin’ Demons episode: Row (a tense psychological thriller on the open sea starring Sophie Skelton, Bella Dayne, and Akshay Khanna), Bad Man (Seann William Scott leads a sharp small-town action comedy with Johnny Simmons, Chance Perdomo, Rob Riggle, and Kaitlin Doubleday), and The Jester 2 (Jo’s pick for best horror movie of the year, featuring Michael Sheffield, Kaitlyn Trentham, and Dingani Beza). From Amelie’s real-life boat stories to a heartfelt debate over the Jester, this one’s got laughs, depth, and some raw emotion.

KEY MOMENTS
- Opening chaos – Jo and Amelie hit the ground running with three films: Row, Bad Man, and The Jester 2.
- Main plot or twist – Row ratchets up psychological tension with Sophie Skelton, Bella Dayne, and Akshay Khanna. Amelie connects the film’s ocean isolation to her real-life sailing experience.
- Character study – Bad Man features Seann William Scott, Johnny Simmons, Chance Perdomo, Rob Riggle, and Kaitlin Doubleday in a quirky small-town crime story with an unexpectedly sharp edge.
- Jo’s take – Jo crowns The Jester 2 the best horror film of the year and links Max’s outsider struggle to Amelie’s past.
- Amelie’s take – Amelie praises Row as her favorite of the three, values the grounded realism in Bad Man, and calls The Jester 2 fun, light, and perfect for a laid-back watch.
- WTF Moment - Jo flames Art the Clown, rezzes him, then Flames him to death again.

Intro
00:00:06
Jo

00:00:23
Amelie

00:00:36
Amelie

00:00:38
Jo
Aren't I? Aren't a stinger? Yeah, no, of course. I look forward to this. I look forward to this. And we are recording three. For those you who don't know, we're doing three movies today. It's going to be Roe, Batman, and Jester 2.
00:00:55
Jo
Spoiler. We are going to spoil the crap out of these movies. We will probably give you a small little heads up. Blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:08
Jo
But if you don't want things... complete Well, do you want to do spoilers or no spoilers today?
00:01:14
Amelie
I wish to not spoil for the movie because they're good.
00:01:17
Jo
Okay. Okay.
00:01:21
Amelie
They deserve a non-spoiler.
00:01:22
Jo
Tell you what, we will not spoil these movies today. Never mind. No more spoil alert for this movie thing. And we will go we and we'll go like this the entire day. I'll use this voice instead.
00:01:36
Jo
We will talk about them. We'll set them up. I don't give ratings anymore. You can rate them if you want. I don't rate movies anymore. But I will say all three of these are screeners. So thank you everyone who gives a screener.
00:01:50
Jo
And thank you at home. The home edition. Like and subscribe now because we got some I wouldn't call them all three horror movies. I think it's like one is psychological drama, and then the other one is like action comedy, and then the last one is like horror.
00:02:11
Jo
Sorry, let's just hit my mic. The last one's horror.
00:02:13
Amelie
Yeah, yeah, exactly, yes.
00:02:14
Jo
yeah Yeah. And then talked about this beforehand, but I've got a special... treat for all of us two things numero uno amelie and i got a screener of the thunderburst not the one and not the marvel film but the actual old british show and uh yeah we're gonna watch it and just record us it's like a reaction video for up us watching it because i started to it was like there's no way yeah this is completely it and it
00:02:44
Amelie
deserve It deserved it. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:02:50
Jo
reminded me of way back when for, don't think I'm an NDA with this, but we'll we'll say some horror hostess and hosts sometimes, most of the hostess, would watch cartoons with people, like basically cartoons with us on the internet and just kind of like chill out, especially during a pandemic.
00:03:12
Jo
And it kind of reminded me of doing that. I thought like we'll bring that back just for you guys. And Amelie and I will 3, 2, 1 go. it we we're not going to We're not going to actually show any of the Thunderbirds don't want to get sued.
00:03:25
Jo
But it's just a reaction of us giggling. We won't use the whole thing. Otherwise, it's just watching fucking two things. we'll We'll see. We'll see how it happens. But that's numero uno. Number two-o. Box Human wants to do a conjuring movie of Dawn.
00:03:40
Jo
And the conjuring movies we will spoil the shit out of. But, you know, that's coming me up later. But right now... but We've got Ro, Ro, Ro, Badman, or Badman, singular, Badman, and the jester too, too, too, too legit to quit, all that more on this stream of demons.
00:04:02
Jo
So, we watched all them, yes?
00:04:06
Amelie
Yes we did!
00:04:08
Jo
Cool. And we agree that they're not all... We we are expanding beyond horror, so obviously Batman was not ever going to be horror. But would you consider Roe horror?
00:04:22
Amelie
Ha ha!
00:04:25
Amelie
No...
00:04:26
Jo
No, right?
00:04:27
Amelie
No...
00:04:27
Jo
and
00:04:28
Amelie
No, no, no...
00:04:28
Jo
It's... On IMDb, for those who don't know, it's the first movie's going to Roe. it is 2025...
00:04:36
Jo
And here we go IMDb. ah ah Directed by Matthew Lasaso and stars Sophie Skelton and Bella Dane and Ash K. Khanna.
00:04:48
Jo
After a failed transatlantic WR, world record, sorry. Today's reading brought to you by world record attempt. A woman washes ashore on a bloodstained rowing boat.
00:05:01
Jo
With all of her crewmates missing, presumed dead, she must try and piece together fractured memories that will be able to prove her innocence. They list it a psychological thriller, an adventure mystery thriller.
00:05:13
Jo
I agree. i think I think it's a psychological thriller. So it's not horror, but it's one of those things where i'm like, this is a movie I think you would like.
00:05:25
Jo
i thought you would like this movie. I think you found it interesting.
00:05:27
Amelie
yeah
00:05:27
Jo
Yeah.
00:05:28
Amelie
Yeah, you're right. I really love that movie. Actually, out of the three movies you asked me to watch, it's my favorite.
00:05:36
Jo
Really? That's surprising.
00:05:36
Amelie
i yeah And I'm going to say that's a movie you deserve to be watched on cinema. So not every kind of cinema, you know, like more particularly...
00:05:45
Jo
Yes.
00:05:49
Amelie
Intellectual cinema, because we have two kinds of cinema. In France, we have the small cinema, whether it's a theatrical release or a very specific movie, and the more public open cinema.
00:06:01
Amelie
I would say a simple cinema would be perfect for that movie, and I would watch it and not get bored.
00:06:05
Jo
Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, I think you're right.
00:06:09
Amelie
Because...
00:06:11
Jo
i think you're right. I think this is we we made this distinction before in our last episode, like James Bond, course, is similar movie. I think Roe is better on the big screen than the small one.
00:06:26
Jo
Because of the vastness of the ocean or the water, you know, like you want to be kind of afloat with them.
00:06:33
Amelie
Yes.
00:06:34
Jo
And I think this works really well in the cinemas. And in fact, that's great you say that because you can watch Ro right now in the cinemas. Go see it. Check it out. I believe it's currently in the cinemas.
00:06:47
Jo
I could be completely wrong on this. No. Okay. Release date. Okay. Sure. It released in Kazakhstan. That shit. Nice. so
00:06:59
Jo
I won't get that. It's only an hour and 58 minutes and they use it correctly. I don't think any parts go long.
00:07:07
Amelie
correct Correct.
00:07:07
Jo
I think it's a pretty tight movie. and have you... Okay, I didn't know this. and that we We talked about this. It's almost like a date night version of of a podcast.
00:07:19
Jo
But I didn't know this about you. We talked briefly about the notes. But you were living on a boat...
00:07:28
Amelie
I lived two weeks on a skipper boat in Australia. So not in the middle of the ocean, but on a bay.
00:07:35
Jo
Right.
00:07:36
Amelie
So long story short, me and my partner decided to go around the world and we joined a website called WeWork. So you post your CV, explain your story, what you want, if you're vegan, if you're traveler, if you speak different language.
00:07:46
Jo
OK.
00:07:53
Amelie
And we met that couple who are both Australian and decided to go from Australia to New Zealand in a skipper boat.
00:08:02
Amelie
So brand new skipper boat they both they were fixing etc top-notch and we stayed two weeks there to clean the barnacles to help repaint and it was really interesting like it's a very very small boat but inside it's very full so you have the toilet on the back you have your little bed etc and
00:08:02
Jo
Right.
00:08:22
Jo
and
00:08:26
Amelie
So that far was really interesting to meet these people who live on boat. We met also people who live 365 days a week, a year on a boat.
00:08:37
Amelie
Like it's a brand new new world.
00:08:37
Jo
Right.
00:08:41
Jo
Yeah, I think... That is isolating. So you were off the coast of Australia. Could you imagine being on that boat in the middle of nowhere?
00:08:48
Amelie
Correct.
00:08:51
Jo
Yeah.
00:08:52
Amelie
Yes. Actually, yes, it makes sense. When you leave there, the first 24, 48 hours when you don't have the habit, it's strange because you need to find your balance and you get out and there's just the sea, the water.
00:09:03
Jo
Yeah.
00:09:08
Amelie
But it's very calm. It's very peaceful. I think it's something you would like because you are in the complete in darkness. There is no light around from the road.
00:09:20
Amelie
It's complete darkness.
00:09:21
Jo
Yeah. Rocking.
00:09:21
Amelie
You look at the horizon, you can see the star. And you can smell the sea. And it's quiet, but peacefully quiet. And when you fall asleep, you fall asleep with the boat rocking.
00:09:34
Jo
rocking
00:09:36
Amelie
And it's one of my best experiences. I remember being in the middle of the late um the bay and it's so dark.
00:09:48
Amelie
It's beautiful. You can see the world around you with the light and you're just in the middle of the nature. I've been to jungle, mountains, the field.
00:10:01
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:03
Amelie
But being in the middle of the ocean, it's completely different. It's very peaceful. So when you watch the movie and you see complete darkness and the waves going on, and I'm like, yeah, that is that's the feeling.
00:10:21
Amelie
That's why I love that movie, because you have the feeling. You have the feeling of being in one couch, closing the door to have your time for yourself and in in your pouch.
00:10:30
Jo
yeah
00:10:31
Amelie
The toilet was inside, but just this little thing, you know, of you need to go up and you need to do this to do that. The owner of the boat moved their boat in the ocean for us to go to an island.
00:10:45
Jo
That's cool.
00:10:45
Amelie
It's very impressive.
00:10:46
Jo
Yeah.
00:10:46
Amelie
Everybody does something. You cannot do nothing. Everybody does something. You grab a rope. You tongue on the left. You tongue on the right. You grab something else.
00:10:57
Amelie
You stop the boat, etc., etc., Everybody does something and you need to be a good swimmer. And they go really, really deep on the sea or the ocean.
00:11:07
Jo
yeah
00:11:08
Amelie
So when you jump, you jump. sir yeah pa pi You get ji need to swim. It's really interesting.
00:11:15
Jo
And that's the thing. i can't swim.
00:11:20
Amelie
you You don't swim? C'est
00:11:23
Jo
can't. I don't know how to. Yeah, it's true.
00:11:26
Amelie
vrai? It's true?
00:11:28
Jo
I never got, well, put it this way. My dad tried to teach me, but he tried to teach me a very difficult way.
00:11:41
Jo
meaning not the very most kindest and patient person in the world about swimming lessons. It was kind of like the ones like, you know, good luck, fucker.
00:11:53
Jo
Like, well, I didn't drown, but I didn't really learn swimming that much.
00:11:58
Amelie
That's really interesting. Somebody who is so athletic like you, I would think, you know, you would go to the gym, have shower, go for a swim with someone to help your back.
00:12:09
Jo
Go... Who has a pool?
00:12:14
Jo
I mean, I grew up in places like my friends and swim because they all had, where they I guess they were on the lakes and stuff like that. But no, we, like no one taught us how swim as a kid. if If you weren't doing that every time, then no, man.
00:12:28
Jo
We never got into that. But I do love boats. I love boats.
00:12:30
Amelie
Mm-hmm. But you don't swim.
00:12:32
Jo
I mean, I love the love boat, especially.
00:12:33
Amelie
That's so interesting.
00:12:34
Jo
I think dreams come true on a love boat.
00:12:34
Amelie
Mm-hmm. You like boat.
00:12:37
Jo
Yeah.
00:12:38
Amelie
Yeah. But that's so interesting because you're an athlete.
00:12:39
Jo
Love moves.
00:12:41
Amelie
Like you're champion of Tenkwendo. I would think you met people who would have helped you to learn how to swim in professional swimming pools or this kind of thing. Like, you know.
00:12:49
Jo
professional swimming pool what do you think my life is you think i'm just like hanging out like hey michael phelps anyways you know yeah they're different sports although a lot of people from my training team the team i was training with back in the day they were coral driving they were scuba diving and reef diving
00:12:53
Amelie
Yeah. Like, you know.
00:13:12
Amelie
I don't like that. It's very claustrophobic for me.
00:13:16
Amelie
People propose to me to do so. Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:13:16
Jo
Yeah, well, I'm saying like they were swimming and stuff like that.
00:13:20
Jo
So you're saying that's claustrophobic?
00:13:21
Amelie
No, because you have the mask. you know me, it's claustrophobic.
00:13:22
Jo
Yeah.
00:13:23
Amelie
I can't. I can't. I can't. I saw the thing. I tried to put the thing on my feet and on my nose, and I'm like, hmm, I don't know.
00:13:32
Jo
So there's some things about this so that you can connect this just to the movie then, because that means there's some things about what they were going through in this movie that would be too claustrophobic for you, even though you're, you know, you love swimming, you're in the boats.
00:13:45
Jo
And for me, it's like a circle of hell.
00:13:46
Amelie
yeah
00:13:47
Jo
i I would love to be on the boat, but once you see the waves come in and crashing through, i'm like, no, F this. Like anyone anyone's like, want to world record?
00:13:53
Amelie
i
00:13:54
Jo
Like not really in anything.
00:13:56
Amelie
It's so interesting. like I'm so impressed by, for example, Helen McCarture, who was alone in a boat with a computer and trying to stay awake, or awake. She stayed awake for 40 days, like with micro sleep and everything.
00:14:15
Amelie
In France, There is a lot of French who try to go through the Atlantic with a boat and it's really interesting.
00:14:21
Jo
yeah
00:14:22
Amelie
They do what we call micro sleep. They sleep for 20 minutes maximum and they wake up and they stay awake and they do their little routines. They have a small computer to to communicate with planet Earth.
00:14:34
Amelie
Like it's really interesting.
00:14:34
Jo
yeah So you're saying the areas where you grew up and the real life experiences out there mimic roe the movie Row pretty well then where they have
00:14:44
Amelie
Yes, yes. Oh, yeah, yeah. I came from Calais. And you always have somebody like an American who's trying to swing from Dover to Calais.
00:14:57
Jo
sure Okay.
00:14:57
Amelie
Or, for example, Ellen Marcature is coming to Boulogne-sur-Mer to present a new boat because we have Boulogne-sur-Mer, who is a city where a lot of explorers from France came from.
00:15:10
Amelie
We have in France yeah is the region Britannique, so you have the spectacular boats went around the world and stuff like that. Yeah, my region is on the sea.
00:15:21
Amelie
It's true.
00:15:22
Jo
So, yeah.
00:15:22
Amelie
I tend to forget. It's true.
00:15:24
Jo
that That makes sense because that's why you connected to this one. i I do like this movie and I agree this should be absolutely seen in a big theater because it's it gives you that isolation feeling because although they are in a boat together, there's a group of them on the boat, for those that know. it It's about a movie with a bunch of people going on a boat trying to break a world record attempt by traveling across from one part of the world to other.
00:15:50
Jo
Sure. Have we seen it before? Absolutely. But have we seen it with people who are, we'll say, not murdering each other, but also not not murdering each other?
00:16:01
Jo
Like, we we see it from two of our ends of it. We we see this woman who's washed up the shore, and we kind of see it through her fragmented memories. So the narration is not exactly reliable, not because she's lying, but her memories are fragmented.
00:16:15
Jo
And sometimes we see it from, I believe, an honest view of what happened. but for you know We get information for things that when she was not there, so she could not have that memory. So see a bit of both.
00:16:27
Jo
And I think they did that really well as a layering in the story part of it.
00:16:27
Amelie
Correct.
00:16:32
Jo
Now, there are parts of the movie without spoiling, I'm not going to spoil it. I think you mentioned something about an incident that happened during the movie. You're like, oh, my God, I can't believe that guy did that.
00:16:45
Jo
Me neither. I'm like, oh, my without without mentioning it, without mentioning it.
00:16:46
Amelie
Oh, mon yes. so this is the plot this is the plot of the movie, ladies and gentlemen.
00:16:52
Jo
Yes.
00:16:53
Amelie
Four people. Two women and two men who's been training for three years to break a record. They are in a sort of skipper. Small skipper, but they just roll. There is no...
00:17:04
Jo
Row, row, row your boat.
00:17:05
Amelie
Excellent. It's between Canada and Ireland. So for three years, they study, they try, etc.
00:17:11
Jo
Really?
00:17:15
Amelie
And what happened is we are watching the movie. It's the third day. And we see the two ladies having a conversation. And so it's a break. They're trying to eat.
00:17:26
Jo
Right.
00:17:27
Amelie
And they've got pouches with food. they're like, OK, this is the food, etc. They already ate the food. Because during their conversation, they're like, oh, this is the food. Off. I advise you to do this, to do that.
00:17:39
Amelie
They open the pouch. And they look for a sort of kettle. They look. Don't find it. Open the door. And they're like, hey, Captain, Captain, where is the kettle? Where is the kettle?
00:17:51
Amelie
And the guy, you don't see him, and says with a nonchalance, oh, I take it off because of the weight of the boat.
00:17:55
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:17:59
Jo
yeah
00:17:59
Amelie
So they close the doors, they look at each other other like, well, with water. Just there, if I train for three years and have kettle for three years, and the guy, three days into the tour, I hear...
00:18:20
Amelie
I throw and I throw him out of the boat. When you prepare ah ah travel in jungle, on sea, ocean, in a different country, you decide to move to Australia, decide to move to do through Asia, etc.
00:18:31
Jo
Yeah.
00:18:40
Amelie
You make your research, insurance, food, backpack, shoes.
00:18:41
Jo
Yeah.
00:18:41
Jo
Yeah.
00:18:48
Amelie
I don't know if I have my shoes. These shoes, ladies and gentlemen, these shoes are fantastic for hot weather and for rain.
00:18:53
Jo
That was right there.
00:18:59
Amelie
It's Australian boots. People buy in Australia, especially people from the outback, because they're fantastic.
00:19:06
Jo
Right. Right.
00:19:07
Amelie
You see, no lace, really easy to see inside in case of spider, in case of snake. And I've been wearing them. for five years and they're really, really strong.
00:19:20
Amelie
That's just a pair of shoes you're going to say. No, ladies and gentlemen, it's hours and years of study and reason for that.
00:19:23
Jo
right
00:19:29
Amelie
If the dude decides just a week before to throw the kettle, I'm throwing the guy out. So when I watch the movie, I notice some stuff and and ah and I laugh little bit saying, oh, they have fun, they're...
00:19:36
Jo
Yeah.
00:19:44
Amelie
on their boat, where is the computer? Because they all have a computer to check the location and to send SOS and communicate with planet Earth, basic basically.
00:19:58
Amelie
It's mandatory. But the kettle thing, I was like, are you... No, no, no, no, no. no
00:20:05
Jo
Welcome to the streaming demons come for the movie review. Stay for the shoe knowledge.
00:20:11
Amelie
Few knowledge. No, but you need to understand when I heard that from the get-go, I'm like, what?
00:20:12
Jo
Yeah.
00:20:17
Amelie
And he didn't inform his team.
00:20:18
Jo
Okay.
00:20:20
Amelie
Normally, before you enter your boat, you're like, okay, guys, we are four people, da-da-da-da-da-da. So just so you know, I've decided to take off the kettle, right, for weight.
00:20:33
Amelie
So we're going to eat this much. We have this much pouch. We do this. We do that. Patati-patata.
00:20:39
Jo
Right.
00:20:39
Amelie
You find out
00:20:39
Jo
But this also might be the way the story is being told though. That's what saying. You're not going to see any of that. That's a setup, right?
00:20:44
Amelie
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:45
Jo
You're not going to see the movie. It's not going to show you bit by bit be 12 million hours long. So you're going to have it when she washes up the shore of Scotland. She's on this, this, uh, smile from Scotland and you have a police person there to see who's, you know, is she really the, you know, those strange persons there.
00:21:06
Jo
And so we kind of see it at the end of the movie and then it backs up to the beginning, right? And it shows here and there where you have, like you said, her best friend, Lexi, we're talking about, of course, Megan is the character in the film.
00:21:12
Amelie
yeah
00:21:21
Jo
And then her best friend, Lexi, and then the captain, Daniel, And then the mystery of man that may or may not be, you know we' you know, we're not sure if the police is gaslighting her or her memory is bad or a bit of both.
00:21:34
Jo
Who knows? Who replaces Lexi's boyfriend who was supposed to go but did not, right?
00:21:39
Amelie
Yep. Yep.
00:21:41
Jo
Not Lexi. And then we don't know how reliable Megan is as a narrator. I will say this. There were times during this film I was wishing for people to die.
00:21:58
Jo
There were times during the film, like, I hope this, because they're being an a-hole.
00:21:58
Amelie
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah
00:22:02
Jo
I'm like, you this guy is an absolute a-hole. And did you ever watch Ren and Stimpy's Space Madness episode? Space Madness.
00:22:10
Amelie
Yes. Yes. yes
00:22:14
Jo
ah
00:22:18
Jo
in the bathtub that's no longer there, and he's going through, and he's eating in the bar of soap. He fucking hit my mic again. Eating in the bar of soap, and he thinks it's like an ice cream bar. That's this movie in a nutshell. This movie is basically space madness happening in the ocean.
00:22:33
Jo
Ocean madness. I believe. Name the movie. Final offer. So you don't know who's being good and who's being nice. You don't know one thing the other.
00:22:43
Jo
But they start cracking.
00:22:47
Jo
Like paranoia is running high.
00:22:47
Amelie
No, not at
00:22:49
Jo
Things happen. Bad things happen. And then mistakes are made to compound those bad things happening. And that one dude, do you think that Daniel, who's the captain, the captain guy, do you think he is a likable person?
00:23:06
Amelie
not not at all
00:23:08
Jo
No. He's a dick. He's like a rich dick.
00:23:13
Jo
He's a rich prick, basically. He's like, I'm bored my life. i'm let's Let's break a world record or some shit. Okay. So dad would be proud of me. Hmm.
00:23:23
Amelie
and on on on on and on on on on No, no, no. And he make decisions who are really bad. Like every decision he make, I'm like, I would kill the dude.
00:23:31
Jo
Yeah.
00:23:33
Amelie
I would kill the dude.
00:23:34
Jo
Yeah. Yeah. Like everyone. And other people, we're not saying that other people make great decisions, but by far for being the captain, especially, he is the worst person you want as captain on this ship.
00:23:50
Jo
Like the worst. Like you might as well a piece of fish as a captain. Like, oh, put a little hat on it. So yeah, it's it does tension well. The movie does tension well. There's not a lot of special effects.
00:24:02
Jo
doesn't need any. you know like Shutter Island didn't have a lot of special effects. It's the tension that builds the movie. and and I believe for an hour 58 minutes or something like that, it runs well.
00:24:17
Jo
But there are some flaws with the movie. Flaw numero uno.
00:24:27
Jo
I am not entirely sure
00:24:33
Jo
Who in the hell would agree to going to break a world record with some like sort of a friend, but some like total a-hole?
00:24:36
Amelie
you
00:24:45
Jo
It's like they had to know the guy was an a-hole before they said like, yeah, it's cool. Let's join your crew. Right? I mean, I get it. Maybe they're... I don't understand. Like, I don't understand the the dynamics. or I know the two women were friends.
00:24:58
Jo
And one was supposed to be the boyfriend. And some random person last minute stops That should be a flag to stop. you You plan this all this time. It should be a flag to stop.
00:25:09
Jo
And then no one's got a weather forecast? I don't even leave the fucking house without a weather forecast. Like, what's it going to be like for the rest of a week? What's it going to be like?
00:25:20
Jo
Oh. horrifically bad on the water, we probably shouldn't be doing this this time. like of you know let's Let's do it next time. They kept following through.
00:25:30
Amelie
You're laughing. You're laughing. But me being in Malaysia and advising people to take X, Y, road for the walk, they wouldn't listen.
00:25:45
Jo
Yeah.
00:25:49
Amelie
Dude, we had have German girl who broke her arm.
00:25:59
Amelie
for everyone to listen. There were heavy rain and there was a path number 10. And we advise everyone do not take the path number 10.
00:26:10
Amelie
Every villager stop taking it. There is a dog who has rabies at the end. It's very slippery. Be careful. Oh, don't care. We've got the good shoes. We hardcore travelers, na-na-na-na-na-na.
00:26:23
Amelie
We were doing a quiz trivia in the hotel. And the German girl just passed in front of everyone with her arm like that.
00:26:32
Amelie
With a special cluster.
00:26:32
Jo
Oh God.
00:26:32
Jo
Yeah. Jeez.
00:26:35
Amelie
Oh, she was ashamed. She ran towards a a ah room. There is one girl who stood up to look after her. She came back.
00:26:43
Jo
yeah
00:26:44
Amelie
The room was quiet, dead quiet. She was like, she broke her arm in path number 10. She slept, hit her arm next to a tree. and she broke one of her bones and she had to get operated.
00:26:57
Amelie
And everybody turned to me and said, so path number 10 is not taken by the villager and it's been raining for the past two weeks. Therefore, that's why we advise you to not take path number 10.
00:27:10
Amelie
And the following days, everybody was on my ass to say, so this is the shoes I'm going to use. Is that the good shoes? ah I'm going to that path.
00:27:16
Jo
Right. Right. Again, come from the truth.
00:27:17
Amelie
Is that good? Etc. People don't listen. Like, they're really dumb. So that kind of situation, oh, I'm sure. Like, the French guy who took his kayak.
00:27:26
Jo
So you're saying this would definitely happen. Okay.
00:27:29
Amelie
Oh, yeah.
00:27:30
Jo
Yeah, that was the one of the things like...
00:27:30
Amelie
French came from my region. Kayak in Canada, in the middle of the lake, the Indian lake. You know, I died. I'm like, yeah. Did he prepare? Did he contact everyone to be safe, etc.?
00:27:43
Jo
Yeah, and...
00:27:43
Amelie
are No. Bum.
00:27:45
Jo
That was driving, I'm not saying that's driving me nuts. I think it's part of the character background on their level of preparedness for an event that's supposed to be breaking the world record.
00:27:56
Jo
They're woefully unprepared for this. Woefully unprepared. And yet it's realistic. That's what finger we're saying. We're not saying it's not realistic, the plot's not being unfair.
00:28:08
Jo
It's realistic. And the acting, I do not like the the captain. Dig. It's because the acting is so good. If the acting was poor, we wouldn't care about any of the characters.
00:28:18
Amelie
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:28:21
Jo
There's only four characters and they have to, well, five and a half characters really, but you you spend most your time with four characters and they have to carry the entire film with almost no budget.
00:28:32
Amelie
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:28:32
Jo
Their co-star is a boat.
00:28:34
Jo
think that's the effing co-star is a boat. Starring the boat.
00:28:37
Amelie
And you shared.
00:28:39
Jo
Yeah, and they they carry the film. They absolutely carry the film. I don't know any of the actors. If they were at my supermarket or not, I wouldn't be able to pick them out. But they are fantastic.
00:28:52
Jo
And they do make the film. The directing, every little cut and paste and every little thing that they did works in this movie.
00:28:54
Amelie
so
00:29:02
Jo
It's an interesting movie, and it's something that's a psychological thriller.
00:29:03
Amelie
Yeah, and so detailed.
00:29:06
Jo
Yeah.
00:29:07
Amelie
It's so detailed. Like for example at the beginning you can see the captain having blisters on his end and trying to clean his blisters.
00:29:15
Jo
yeah
00:29:17
Amelie
Or example one of them is really sick Like when you travel, you get blister on your feet, you've got back pain, you're sick, but not sick as a home.
00:29:25
Jo
their their face from the sun and the dehydration in their lips. Yeah.
00:29:30
Amelie
Yeah.
00:29:30
Amelie
Or for example, za mean
00:29:30
Jo
Like the blisters on the back because they're, yeah.
00:29:35
Amelie
they need to row every day and night. So when two are sleeping, the two other are awake. So the girl are together, the men are together, right? And they walk by shift.
00:29:35
Jo
Yeah.
00:29:47
Amelie
You do the same when you travel in Asia, in the jungle. When Stefan was sleeping, I was awake.
00:29:52
Jo
Right. Right.
00:29:54
Amelie
When I was sleeping, he was awake. And you need to be always alert. Somebody needs to get food.
00:29:59
Jo
Always alert.
00:29:59
Amelie
Somebody needs to rest and be at peace.
00:30:01
Jo
Insurance.
00:30:02
Amelie
Always, always, always. And I really like that tension and that little details, commitment details, because, hmm,
00:30:08
Jo
They do well. Yeah.
00:30:14
Jo
Yeah, so you like this one. I like this one. I saw this one. I'm like, man, I think you would like this one. And I do agree this is a great one to see it in the movie Row 2025. Don't take our word for it. Check it out in the theater. Honestly, I think it's a great movie. you're it The movie goes by quickly.
00:30:33
Jo
And the tension is there throughout. And they do it well. And you care about the characters. That's why it works.
00:30:40
Amelie
Yeah.
00:30:40
Amelie
Yeah. yeah
00:30:40
Jo
You care about each character.
00:30:41
Jo
Even the ones you don't like, you still care about them. And that's why it works. And now, moving, shifting gears, Bad Man. Bad Man, written, directed by Michael Dilberti with J.J. Nelson, starring Sean William Scott and other people.
00:31:01
Jo
I don't if I'm kidding. Chance Perdomo and Rob Wrigley. Sorry. Sorry, Rob. I just pronounced your name again. This one is in Colt Lake, Tennessee. Sam Evans tackles a meth epidemic.
00:31:15
Jo
He is sidelined on arrival of Bobby Gaines, an undercover agent. Despite Evans' local ties, Gaines is hailed as a hero. Suspicions arise on Gaines, which unravels a complex narrative.
00:31:28
Jo
Based on a true story, if I remember this correctly. This is a action comedy. They actually listen to this action comedy, crime, and thriller, but it's it's an action comedy. It's an action comedy. i I saw the screener, and I saw that Sean William Scott was in it.
00:31:46
Jo
I'm like, holy shit, this is like him playing Lethal Weapon again. think that was him in Lethal Weapon. Whatever, it was not. Oh, well. and know I was like, oh my god, this is this again.
00:31:58
Jo
And I will say that although he's mostly known, yeah, in the of the open, mostly known for American Pie early, early, early, early on in like 1999, right?
00:32:16
Jo
He is a fantastic action comedy star. he He really is. like i've I've seen movies where, he can pull the entire movie off just himself.
00:32:30
Jo
And I think Batman, it does have a decent cast. You like Batman too, yeah? Yeah.
00:32:39
Amelie
Yeah, I love it. It's very funny. It's very refreshing.
00:32:44
Jo
Yeah, is's it's it's a funny little thing. i mean
00:32:48
Jo
mean, listen, it could been it could have been a TV show. Honestly, this could have been a TV show and like, oh, we we watched a season of the TV show, right?
00:32:52
Amelie
Yes. Mm-hmm.
00:32:56
Jo
It didn't have to be a movie, but it made a good movie. It made it... the Sorry, one day Joe found where his mic is.
00:33:00
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:33:04
Jo
It was a decent movie and it allowed you to kind of unwind from like the psychological drama of it. It's a good way to unwind. Right?
00:33:15
Amelie
Yes, it's a small movie.
00:33:16
Jo
Batman.
00:33:17
Amelie
It's really nice. It's really funny. And I really like the plot and the way the characters are.
00:33:21
Jo
Yeah.
00:33:26
Amelie
It's small village in America.
00:33:26
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:29
Amelie
There is nothing very bad happening and suddenly a murder. I have to say, without spoiling anything, I like the first scene, the beginning, and I really like the end of the movie.
00:33:41
Jo
yeah
00:33:44
Amelie
The middle, I found it really funny, really cute, really refreshing.
00:33:44
Jo
yeah
00:33:49
Amelie
You have a take of the deep America and it's just a funny haha and I really like it. But when I watched the movie, I liked the bad guys at the beginning and I liked the ending and I liked the synopsis.
00:34:00
Jo
Yeah.
00:34:07
Amelie
It's really interesting and I was like, at the end of the movie, I did. Oh, fuck. I didn't know that. And I was on my ass. I didn't know. I was like, I didn't expect that.
00:34:18
Amelie
I expect something more traditional, let's say.
00:34:20
Jo
yeah
00:34:22
Amelie
But I'm like, that's good.
00:34:23
Jo
yeah
00:34:24
Amelie
Like it gave really sense of that movie.
00:34:28
Jo
Yeah, it's a fun thing. It's weird because, again, I don't really read synopses when I ask for scripts. I was like, oh, Sean William Scott's in an action movie. yeah Give it me.
00:34:41
Jo
I'd love to see that. Or if I i look at, like oh, it's based on, bla you know, it looks interesting to me. It is a movie that we've seen a thousand times before.
00:34:57
Jo
Plot-wise, it's small-town people can't do shit movie, right? It's Mayberry. Mayberry for meth problem.
00:35:10
Jo
That's basically the pitch. And it takes an outsider to set it right. And then you're thinking it's be like fucking Walk walk Tall with like The Rock or with Kevin Sorbo or whoever's doing Walk Tall now.
00:35:26
Jo
or like Machete with Danny Triho, and you you're thinking, like okay, this is going to be a really intense, you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger takes on the rest of the town movie.
00:35:40
Jo
It is not. It is not. In a very wonderful way. And there's there's some parts in this movie, like, I'm trying not to spoil it, but there's one part where the protagonists need money to pose as drug dealers or to try to make a buy.
00:36:02
Jo
And I'm not sure if the guy just, like if if one of the cops were to rob someone, like I actually don't know, I might have blacked this out, but there's sort of some things you like, huh, that's interesting. Like, and the way they do it and the way they set it up and the way they go through everything, it has a great turn in act three.
00:36:22
Jo
And you kind of sense that maybe they they they they do a little bit of breadcrumbs, so you know you might have guessed a little bit of it, but the turn in Act 3 is fantastic. And it really makes the movie.
00:36:36
Jo
You're right, you you know like the way it ends. You're right, the middle was is fun. The middle is fun. The beginning and the end are fantastic.
00:36:44
Amelie
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
00:36:46
Jo
Fair? Yeah, think it's fair. yeah And, okay, We were talking about, you know, do you need to see this on the big screen?
00:36:59
Amelie
No.
00:37:00
Jo
Not really. and This is more of a, you watch it unwind and unplug. This would be great if you were on a date. Or you just want to watch something with your spouse.
00:37:12
Amelie
I would advise you to watch it with a cold beer and a good burger.
00:37:13
Jo
You know?
00:37:17
Jo
Yeah. Yeah, just chill just it's one of things we just want to chill out. It's not quite Harold and Kumar, but it's also quite not-not.
00:37:25
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:37:27
Jo
you know And we've got some great...
00:37:27
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:37:28
Jo
cast the The cast, again, is fantastic, and they play the roles really well. Like, Sean William Scott is amazing in it, as always. Rob Rigola is...
00:37:43
Jo
If you've seen one Rob Riggle part, you've seen them all. If he's doing the comedic, you know one of those type things. But he's he's he's really putting it on his chef. sand chef Jesus Christ.
00:37:53
Jo
Chief Sandy. But here it is is. It's all these very cool things, man. They gain double days in the Levy poll.
00:37:59
Amelie
and that And I really liked for this movie, the way they filmed the movie. The quality of the picture.
00:38:07
Jo
Yeah.
00:38:08
Amelie
Did you notice?
00:38:11
Jo
Yeah, it's the the budget for the entire movie. I am not even sure. that Probably not whole hell of a lot. But it looks fantastic.
00:38:20
Amelie
No.
00:38:24
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:38:24
Jo
It looks fantastic. It's not only an hour and 30 like that hour and 30 minute long. So yeah, they do a great job at this. And I do have something kind of sad about that. I didn't know this. since all Again, I don't read this enough. I just like, oh, it's a good movie.
00:38:41
Jo
The guy who was playing DJ, Chance Perdomo, he he passed away.
00:38:48
Amelie
Oh.
00:38:49
Jo
That's his last movie.
00:38:51
Amelie
Oh, man.
00:38:51
Jo
Yeah.
00:38:53
Jo
Yeah, that that's his last movie, that the guy was playing DJ.
00:38:54
Amelie
Oh.
00:38:58
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:38:58
Jo
He died last year my ex's birthday.
00:39:00
Amelie
Oh.
00:39:04
Jo
So, yeah, it's one of those, it's a last movie.
00:39:04
Amelie
Ooh.
00:39:07
Jo
It's a good movie. But, man, i wish it wasn't his last.
00:39:09
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:39:12
Jo
And for those who don't know where her chance was, like Gen you know, he did that one, the Cypher, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, that was also him.
00:39:14
Amelie
Mm.
00:39:21
Jo
Midsummer Murders, because everyone's on Midsummer Murders. But, man, is a good movie. Yeah. And boy, oh boy, oh boy. that it just It's sad to see it.
00:39:35
Jo
But he and he plays a great role. He's such a good actor. He's such a good actor.
00:39:40
Amelie
Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:42
Jo
And but that's what I think. I think the last two movies especially is the acting. i will watch the I would watch this cast act out a school play and be entertained with it.
00:39:55
Amelie
yeah
00:39:56
Jo
It's like, oh, my fifth grader wrote a play. Like, what let's let's put this on. What the fuck? Why why why not? It's great. People are flawed. People are flawed in this.
00:40:07
Jo
And they play the flaws correctly. People are insecure in this. And they play insecurities correctly. The stakes are, they're real enough, right?
00:40:18
Jo
The stakes are absolutely real enough. And things do happen differently. And if it's actually a true story or not, I don't care. i Most things are based on a true story. is a great... Yeah. Yep.
00:40:30
Jo
it is a great
00:40:30
Amelie
But it's a really interesting plot because it's really funny, haha, but it tackles very serious things, like for example, drugs with methamphetamine, the lack of work in small villages.
00:40:32
Jo
yeah
00:40:42
Jo
yeah
00:40:44
Amelie
I came from a small village and we have a metalworking town who just become ghost town and that's terrible and what's happened.
00:40:57
Amelie
People sell drugs, etc. There is no work. The only work you can get is McDonald's. That's why work at McDonald's. And what is the lady doing in the film?
00:41:04
Jo
yeah
00:41:07
Amelie
Oh, maybe they're going to have a Taco Bell. And there it's 2008. It's not in modern days. It's 2008. And you can see what's going on in this small village.
00:41:14
Jo
yeah
00:41:16
Amelie
So it's interesting. But there is a scene I really like. It's when the chef of the sheriff comes to the hero and says, understand. You're having a very bad moment.
00:41:29
Amelie
You're having a murder on your shoulder. Your father committed suicide. Your girlfriend, well, the lady you love, she's really not loving you.
00:41:44
Amelie
So you're you're really having a tough time.
00:41:44
Jo
yeah
00:41:46
Amelie
Yes, chef, I'm having a tough time. Yes, you're having a tough time.
00:41:54
Amelie
okay, see you next week. And he left. And I'm like, what?
00:41:57
Jo
And that's exactly it.
00:41:59
Amelie
And I like that.
00:41:59
Jo
That's what i'm saying. Rob plays that role perfectly. And when I said, like, if you see one Rob role, you see it and all. That wasn't me knocking a Rob at all. It means he is an amazing force of energy and he makes things work.
00:42:14
Jo
deadpan and yet energetic at the same time. it ah It's a fucking talent he has to make it deadpan like that. hu Horrible, horrible, horrible. Well, see you next week.
00:42:25
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:42:26
Jo
And then just to go the opposite direction, 180, and just suckers you in.
00:42:29
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:42:31
Jo
And that's the magic about this cast. like I don't think I can imagine anyone else doing that role than him.
00:42:35
Amelie
Yeah.
00:42:37
Jo
Because the way he can draw that up.
00:42:38
Amelie
Yeah.
00:42:39
Jo
And the way that Sean William Scott is both Like, he's a he's the macho tough man. At the same time, he's almost consciously playing a parody of the macho tough man without saying, I'm playing a parody.
00:42:54
Amelie
Yes. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:42:56
Jo
And that's best thing in the movie. Yeah, it's a parody without being a parody. You know, it's not, it's not what was it, it's not scary movie where you know it's an obvious parody of the horror movies.
00:43:08
Jo
This is its own movie, right? And it's just like your brain lines up with the next thing that happened, the trope. And they go, no we're good. We're going this way.
00:43:20
Jo
And was those moments.
00:43:20
Amelie
yeah
00:43:20
Jo
I loved it. I did. I loved it. And you sent me a picture during but screening. like We said the best actor for the dog.
00:43:31
Amelie
Yeah.
00:43:32
Jo
Yeah. So I would say, yeah.
00:43:32
Amelie
So this is is, I don't remember his name, but he has a hat on his And he's like, you are in front of the kingdom of this senior.
00:43:38
Jo
Those sparkles. Yeah. It's all like.
00:43:44
Amelie
And he's just a sort of grand dog with a hat.
00:43:47
Jo
yeah
00:43:47
Amelie
I'm like, okay, that's the best actor I need to take a picture of.
00:43:51
Amelie
hey
00:43:51
Jo
absolutely and that's and that's the magic of this movie Badman with Sean William Scott it is entertaining there were no movements where I could probably watch this with my mom honestly everything I don't know there's nothing that makes me go like you know
00:44:07
Amelie
Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:44:11
Amelie
No, it's a cute movie. It's interesting. It's funny.
00:44:14
Jo
yeah Yeah, that's exactly it. It's an action comedy. And if you think about it, the plot's going to fall apart. But if you're from a small town, this maps.
00:44:28
Jo
Like, we're both from small towns.
00:44:29
Amelie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:44:30
Jo
And this this fucking maps, man.
00:44:31
Amelie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:44:32
Jo
like we have Our town, it was big when we got a McDonald's. Like, motherfucker, we got McDonald's now.
00:44:37
Amelie
Yeah.
00:44:39
Jo
We're fucking off the hooks, motherfuckers. Take that.
00:44:42
Amelie
Oh, oh, McDonald's.
00:44:44
Amelie
Like, McDonald's. You have a McDonald's in your city. You are in You're the coolest.
00:44:44
Jo
We have a McDonald's now.
00:44:50
Jo
o
00:44:51
Amelie
And I was like, oh, shit.
00:44:51
Jo
No more driving 35 minutes for McDonald's.
00:44:55
Jo
But that's exactly it.
00:44:56
Amelie
Yes.
00:44:57
Jo
It's a small town.
00:44:57
Amelie
No, you're right.
00:44:57
Jo
Yeah.
00:44:58
Amelie
No, you're right.
00:45:00
Jo
yeah
00:45:00
Amelie
Yeah, yeah.
00:45:02
Jo
So it's a fish out of water because the guy, you know, Sean's character is the fish out water. He's like this big, big shot guy. And it works. And it works. And it's endearing. And again, is that the acting is phenomenal. There's some people I can't imagine. as you know I can't imagine other people playing these roles.
00:45:21
Jo
Because they're just so perfect for the role. They're so perfect for the role. And is well directed, well paced.
00:45:26
Amelie
Oh, yeah.
00:45:30
Amelie
Yes. Mm-hmm.
00:45:30
Jo
And they really do hit Act 3 well. They hit Act 1. There's things you see in Act 1 that are clues throughout that you don't know the clues until the end the movie.
00:45:43
Amelie
yes
00:45:43
Jo
You know, nothing happens randomly. But there's no random chance with the movie. So I i loved it. I agree. When I see in the theater, ah i probably would see this in the theater just because, like oh, you know, it would be like...
00:45:59
Jo
just unwinding after a day of work, I would, I agree. Alcohol plus food. Perfect movie. You have one of those VIP theaters with the chairs and the, and they serve you the drinks and they serve you food.
00:46:06
Amelie
and
00:46:11
Jo
It'd be great for that. Just to chill the F out and not give a crap.
00:46:13
Amelie
isn
00:46:16
Jo
Put your brain on pause for two hours and enjoy yourself. This is the perfect movie for it.
00:46:20
Amelie
And laugh, and laugh. Like they're really funny.
00:46:22
Jo
and And laugh for once.
00:46:24
Amelie
I didn't stop laughing. Like I really like it.
00:46:27
Jo
Yeah.
00:46:27
Amelie
It's cool. It's cute. It's not violent.
00:46:30
Jo
Yeah.
00:46:31
Amelie
Yes, there is a death, but it's not violent and yeah.
00:46:31
Jo
No. For an action movie, not really. Yeah.
00:46:35
Amelie
Yeah, it's really good. Yeah.
00:46:38
Jo
So we both say, check this out. Nice. So we're two for two for movies. And the last movie we're going talk about, I got to interview the the director of the next movie, of Joker 2.
00:46:51
Jo
I interviewed Colin a couple of weeks ago and we put it out and it's like, we're doing the interview and the only time like, like, Oh, we're going to I might've bugged the PR company up a million times to interview him, but like, yeah we'll give you the interview. And it was like during my break at work,
00:47:14
Jo
So had like a laptop. we were in the fishbowl and I was like, oh, you know, not im not not a normal setup whatsoever. So if you see the interview, like these posters are definitely not there. It's like some white walls for that.
00:47:26
Jo
But I interviewed Colin Krawchuk and it is checking out on What's Kraken. But Chester 2, Chester 2, I wanted you to see because...
00:47:40
Jo
Because Caitlyn Trentum's performance as Max. You are Max.
00:47:50
Jo
The protagonist of the movie is you. Uh-oh. As we lose camera for a second. And we come back. Looks like Emily had a give me the finger for a minute.
00:48:01
Jo
She's like, oh, I'm Max. I'll show you a Max.
00:48:03
Amelie
So I'm Max.
00:48:05
Jo
Yeah. yeah So we've seen we both seen the movie. Jester 2.
00:48:09
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:48:11
Jo
I'll read that for IMDb. I amdpi should probably do that first. It's a horror movie. This is where I think of a horror. When teen magician Max crosses paths with a sinister jester on Halloween night, she must outsmart a supernatural killer whose magic is all too real and whose tricks always end up in blood.
00:48:30
Jo
Written, directed by Colin Krawcheck. And A, if you've ever seen Black Phone... but The same person who made the mask that we all see on the posters also makes a mask for Jester.
00:48:45
Jo
So like the visual effects are fantastic automatically off the box. But Caitlyn's performance in this movie is fantastic.
00:48:58
Jo
It made me remember when I was a kid. It really did. And kind of not really fitting in and being that outsider. And, you know, even when you try, you kind of get shit on.
00:49:15
Jo
And just there's a very human element to this movie that I think works really well. And when I was watching this movie, I remember how you said you're growing up. you You didn't fit in.
00:49:26
Jo
You're saying I was this geek and, you know, stuff like that. And I'm like, oh, my God. Omelette was Max.
00:49:36
Jo
See, I'm not good looking enough to be Max. and I'm like, Max is like, I'm i'm the ducky Max, I guess. That makes sense to like five people.
00:49:44
Amelie
You know, now you say that, I will rewatch the movie with this perspective and watch it.
00:49:48
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:49:50
Amelie
Because we've been doing now this podcast for all summer and I learned so much about you. And that's really interesting because you open up about you as a teenager.
00:50:02
Amelie
While me, when I was a teenager, when I was 18 years old and I met you, you were already 35 years old. So you were an adult. You were grown-up. You had your heartbroken.
00:50:14
Amelie
you bought your house, you had your PhD, champion of Taekwondo, you were already already a man, you were already an adult, you you live your life. There is a huge difference between me at 18 and me at 35 years old.
00:50:25
Jo
That's right.
00:50:26
Amelie
For example, if 18 years old me was meeting me, 35 years old, she would be impressed.
00:50:27
Jo
I live my life, baby.
00:50:32
Amelie
Why? You're mother of triplets. You travel the world. You went to Australia. You went into the jungle. You speak French, english English, German. You work for an international company. Your best friend is an American. Wow! And you've been to America?
00:50:45
Amelie
Wow, that's so cool!
00:50:46
Jo
Motherfucker, your best friend's an American?
00:50:46
Amelie
You know, you did so much stuff!
00:50:49
Jo
Who is he?
00:50:49
Amelie
Yeah, my brother's American. Well, I'm going to describe it to you because you never met him.
00:50:52
Jo
What a dick.
00:50:54
Amelie
He's amazing. He's got fantastic orange glasses.
00:50:57
Jo
I'm sorry.
00:50:58
Amelie
He's a ginger, but more darker hair, you know. He's two meters tall. And, oh, he's really, really hot, but he thinks he's not. But he is.
00:51:11
Amelie
And you won't believe But he just sounds 50 years old, but you would think he's 35 years old.
00:51:12
Jo
Bet.
00:51:18
Jo
Wu-Tang.
00:51:19
Amelie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:21
Jo
Appreciate. Love on you. No, I'll take it. I'll take that. Every day, any day, you know that. And that's... Okay.
00:51:28
Amelie
But no, yeah, I'm going to rewatch the movie and with this.
00:51:29
Jo
So you didn't see Max.
00:51:32
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:51:34
Jo
I think you need to rewatch because you are Max. You are the... Max is the girl to paint on her clothes. That's going to make sense to anyone who watched Chris Evans before became Captain America.
00:51:49
Jo
Max is the girl to paint on her clothes. Meaning... Max is the completely beautiful girl who is just like, oh, man, she she she likes magic.
00:52:04
Jo
You know, she can't be cool. Like you, come completely gorgeous. Like, oh, no she likes dungeon. She likes comic books. She can't be cool. I'm like, what the?
00:52:15
Jo
what? but Huh? Huh? that's that That's it? That's that's the thing? that So you see that and she's trying to find her way between that weird like Alice Cooper wrote the song 18 weird time of you're not a kid but you're not quite old enough to be an adult.
00:52:37
Jo
I mean you're an adult but it's not like you know you're you're still trying to slough off that high school shit a bit.
00:52:38
Amelie
Correct.
00:52:41
Amelie
Yeah.
00:52:45
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:52:47
Jo
And you see this where she's being rejected and rap by everyone. Her mom, her siblings, like every everyone just fucking rejects her in a big name movie.
00:53:03
Jo
And she's just out there. At the same time, we see this weirdo being created almost like from nothingness of the the Jester, you know the Jester character, right? From nothingness. And unlike a lot of the movies I have a problem with, like i I'm not a big Terrifier fan.
00:53:22
Jo
I get Art the Clown is indestructible, but why? you know what I mean? It's like, it's is not, by having Art the Clown being indestructible, unkillable, Art the Clown always just hellports around the place randomly and fucking kills people.
00:53:42
Jo
it doesn't have an interesting movie to me. Like, Terrified is just not interesting to me. It's not. Because there's no... There's nothing at stake. It's just a snuff fest. Like, oh, how is Art going to kill people today?
00:53:56
Jo
i don't give a fuck. I can see death on TV. I don't need fucking Art the fucking clown doing this. And that's what was kind of like when Michael Myers went from a real person, you know, a real flesh and blood person to like,
00:54:12
Jo
whatever the F the last three fucking Halloweens were. I know I censored myself the first time I said word afterwards. It's like, oh, he's epitome of evil. Like, now who cares an F?
00:54:22
Jo
oh yeah Why make him something he's not? If he's going to be a person, people can die. That is a stake. pe Things are at stake. It's now a fight.
00:54:34
Jo
If it's a snuff fest, who cares? Even Freddy could die. night you know Nightmare on Elm Street, even Freddy Krueger. When Nancy outwits, and at the end we'll spoil her about this one, but when Heather Levenkamp, that's why we like Nancy as a survivor.
00:54:53
Jo
She's smart, she's tough, has nails, and she doesn't always fit in, but she knows this and that's how she survives. With Max, it's the same as Heather's character in Nightmare on Elm Street, which is Nancy, right?
00:55:08
Jo
ah ah We see Caitlyn's doing kind of the same role, where it's a smart person who doesn't fit in kind of cares, kind of doesn't, because she's still in high school-ish, and has the willpower beyond her peers to survive.
00:55:27
Jo
That's what I see in you, and that's what I see in the character of Max, and that's why I really like Jester too. It's not just some rando clown killing fucking people for no reason. Indestructible. It's none of that.
00:55:40
Jo
The Jester has a purpose. The Jester has real-life moments where he connects with the protagonist of Max. And even though the Jester doing some vile stuff, Max still goes kind of like, yeah, but he's kind of cool.
00:55:58
Jo
He's giving me the time of day. He's my friend. They bond through magic. It's kind of cool that way. we You and I, I your dresser? No. You know, so did you, which yeah.
00:56:10
Amelie
Probably.
00:56:14
Jo
Am I? Uh-oh. So what did you think?
00:56:18
Amelie
Are you evil?
00:56:18
Jo
what Yeah. Am I? I don't know.
00:56:23
Jo
What did you think?
00:56:25
Amelie
I watched it. It's easy to watch. It's not my favorite movie. But yeah, enjoyed watching it. It was interesting. It was entertaining.
00:56:36
Jo
It was entertaining, yes. It was interesting, it's entertaining. Did you... Okay, do you like the movies where it's... And I'm not talking about Jason Voorhees. We understand Jason Voorhees is supposed to be almost indestructible, but he can't just really teleport all over the place.
00:56:53
Jo
Someone at home just punching the screen, I get it. Whatever. You know, he's there's some rules, there's some logic rules. But did you like how the Jester actually has a purpose?
00:57:05
Jo
In the movie versus just some random psycho.
00:57:09
Amelie
Uh, yeah. It was interesting.
00:57:11
Jo
Okay. Yeah.
00:57:12
Amelie
Like...
00:57:13
Jo
they They do an interesting twist on it. They do. Did you care if the Jester lived or died?
00:57:24
Amelie
I was a movie with with the the back character. i Not really. Not really.
00:57:32
Jo
Really?
00:57:32
Amelie
I didn't...
00:57:33
Jo
i
00:57:33
Amelie
No.
00:57:35
Jo
I felt bad for the Jester. Maybe I'm more Max than you.
00:57:39
Amelie
Really?
00:57:40
Jo
Yeah, maybe I'm more Max than you are. actually felt bad for the Jester. Like, i i I cared what happened to the Jester. I didn't care what happened to most of Max's high school friends.
00:57:53
Jo
I think we all kind of agree that most of them are crap.
00:57:56
Amelie
yeah yeah yes that's That's interesting because the bad guy is interesting. like You follow the bad guy, the bad guy is interesting, but compared to the high schooler, you're right.
00:58:07
Amelie
They're just Eh, character. i I don't know if it's the actor play. I don't know if it's just the way it was filmed. But for me, the character was just side character, you know what I mean?
00:58:23
Jo
Did you, okay, did you grow up with people like that in your high school?
00:58:30
Amelie
Yeah, even worst.
00:58:32
Jo
Yeah, same, same. And that's why i'm kind of like, they are shallow because those kids were shallow.
00:58:41
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
00:58:41
Jo
I think the acting is good because they're acting shallow. like We're talking about Barry and how the people on Barry have to act poorly, like they're bad actors because his acting class. I think the same thing with gesture too, that the, the people that the high schoolers are just shallow.
00:59:00
Jo
And so the those people portraying them have to act this way.
00:59:05
Jo
and know And sometimes ah ah it works better than other times. Now, without spoiling anything, I found it interesting that the Max is a sympathetic character and so is the Jester for me.
00:59:20
Jo
And they find sympathy in each other. like they actually Some have like almost like a true friendship.
00:59:24
Amelie
Okay.
00:59:28
Jo
Even though, let's say, it gets out hand a gets out of hand a bit. gets out of hand of bit But it's almost like a true friendship for a while. You know?
00:59:40
Jo
And that's why I think if you rewatch this and think about like, are you Max or not? I think you're Max. I think you're Max. I do.
00:59:47
Amelie
okay
00:59:48
Jo
But this is The Jester 2. I would watch The Jester 2 in the theaters because i think it I love the... Honestly, I love the movie. It's an hour and a half movie. It's an hour and a half horror.
01:00:01
Jo
It is... Pretty much all the things I like in horror, it does have some gore, but the gore makes sense. It's not just gore for gore's sake, usually. It is sympathetic character.
01:00:13
Jo
The special effects are fantastic. The the acting is solid. And there really is a way that I want to see Jester 3. I know Colin's going to be like, what the fuck, Jester 3?
01:00:26
Jo
But I want to see a sequel. I want to see more of this. i want to see this on Joe Bob Briggs' The Last Drive-In. This would be a great Last Drive-In movie. Jester 2 would be an amazing Last Drive-In movie Joe Bob Briggs.
01:00:38
Amelie
Yeah, yeah.
01:00:40
Jo
You know, and I would i would watch this. Some of it reminds me of the the movies I loved growing up with in the theaters. The horror movies I loved growing up with in the theaters where I'm not trying to figure out 12,000 plots, but it's entertaining as hell.
01:00:49
Amelie
Oh.
01:00:56
Amelie
Oh, yes, yes, it's very simple. Like I watch it with a Coca-Cola and a packet of chips at night after a long day at work, easy, relaxing, chilling.
01:01:01
Jo
Yeah.
01:01:05
Amelie
You watch it, you laugh a little bit. Yeah, it's it's not it's not too intellectual like some movie franchise. It's chilling, it's light, it's easy, it's pop, it's nice.
01:01:22
Jo
Yeah, and and I think, and I'll just leave it at this, for the Jester 2, if you love horror, I would actually 1,000% see Jester 2. It's in theaters starting September fifteenth In theaters soon. So go see Jester 2 in the theater. I would love, going to go see in the theater again. Screw it.
01:01:40
Jo
mean, I saw it. I'm still going to go the theater see it. And this is absolutely fantastic as a movie.
01:01:51
Jo
And I believe the critics agree with me. If they don't, who cares? I say watch it. That's all I know. And this is be something that you can absolutely watch again.
01:02:05
Jo
I like this better than most of the lightest b Blumhouse movies. And I love Blumhouse. I think this movie blows them away. The last couple of Blumhouse offerings, it does.
01:02:16
Jo
So if you like horror, check out The Jester 2. Especially if you like the indie horror feel. This is smooth. The acting is top-notch. The effects are amazing. The mask work is black, bloody phone.
01:02:31
Jo
So absolutely cool. So that is it. We did three movies. My God. Three movies in one hour. Not bad. Not bad. Not bad. And remember next time we will get back to Dexter. Did you watch it in the end Dexter?
01:02:43
Jo
Did you watch the end of the season?
01:02:45
Amelie
Yep.
01:02:45
Jo
Okay.
01:02:46
Amelie
Yes.
01:02:46
Jo
We will get back to Dexter soon. We've got one more movie thing coming up and it's going to be us watching the Thunderbirds. I'm pretty sure that's it.
01:02:55
Amelie
Yes.
01:02:57
Jo
That's the name of it? The Thunderbirds? That's the actual name the theme? It is co cuckoo bananas as box human would say. And we'll we'll do a small little watch party on that just ah ah just to chill out.
01:03:08
Jo
Like we'll do one at a time.
01:03:08
Amelie
Yes.
01:03:09
Jo
They're 50 minutes long. And so if you have to watch, okay.
01:03:11
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
01:03:15
Jo
If you have to watch one movie at the theater, I think it's going to Ro. Right?
01:03:20
Amelie
Yes, correct.
01:03:21
Jo
think Ro you have to watch in a theater. But I think all three make sense to watch. Like, they're they're you're not going to feel wasted.
01:03:26
Amelie
Yes.
01:03:28
Jo
I would watch Jester 2 in the theater, too, by the way. As I said before.
01:03:32
Amelie
Mm-hmm.
01:03:33
Jo
And Batman. man they we had some good screeners. Like, well, I'm gone in the days. wherere We're hating on movies. So thank you all for putting these wonderful movies out there. Keep making them. We'll keep watching them. Until next time, we bid you good day.
01:03:48
Jo
Bye, everyone. Like and subscribe now, motherfuckers. Deuces.
