Episode 182: Zach Cregger's "Weapons" Review

S9 E182 · The Popcorn Podcast
Avatar
29 Plays13 days ago

This week on The Popcorn Podcast, Tommy and Ryan step into the tense, unpredictable world of Zach Cregger’s latest film, Weapons.

From its haunting atmosphere to its unconventional narrative structure, we explore how Cregger builds on the success of Barbarian while carving out something wholly new in the horror-thriller space. We break down the film’s interwoven stories, its commentary on violence in America, and the performances that keep you glued to the edge of your seat.

Weapons
In this episode, we unpack how Cregger uses shifting perspectives to keep audiences off-balance, how tone and pacing work in tandem to escalate dread, and what this film might signal for his future projects in the genre.

Episode Highlights:

💥 Storytelling in Shards: How fragmented narratives can amplify suspense.
🎭 Performances Under Pressure: Standout turns from the ensemble cast.
🔪 Violence as Theme: The ways Weapons comments on fear, power, and survival.
🎥 Cregger’s Evolution: How this film compares to Barbarian and what it says about his style.
🔮 Looking Ahead: Where Cregger might take his career and horror next.

00:04:55
Ryan
well so
00:04:59
tommy cresta
So everyone who voted to like get the list put together, like who actually gets nominated, then from all that, they pick 20,000 of those people and then those people vote.
00:05:03
Ryan
yeah thankful
00:05:08
Ryan
okay
00:05:08

What if they only pick people that voted for those people by accident?
00:05:12
Ryan

tommy cresta
um James Gunn to write and direct the next Superman family film.
00:23:21
Ryan
He's gone to Raider.
00:23:25
tommy cresta
So I don't...
00:23:25
Ryan
I now. I don't
00:23:26
tommy cresta
The way that they word this, I don't know if they mean the next Superman film is a Superman family film or they mean the next film in the Superman family.
00:23:26
Ryan
but way we learn this i in the next and mean Yeah.
00:23:34
tommy cresta
So does that mean we're getting another film?
00:23:34
Ryan
i mean it didn't
00:23:36
tommy cresta
Like a Superman sequel?
00:23:36
Ryan
It is pretty vague.
00:23:37
tommy cresta
Or Supergirl sequel?
00:23:38
Ryan
we go or
00:23:38
tommy cresta
Or does this just mean the next movie that has to do with Superman and James Gunn?
00:23:41
Ryan
I don't know.
00:23:41
tommy cresta
I don't know.
00:23:42
Ryan
Or it could be like just a Superboy movie.
00:23:42
tommy cresta
Or it could be like just Superboy movie. Or could be...
00:23:44
Ryan
Or it could be so the whole Superfamily where it's Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, and whoever.
00:23:45
tommy cresta
Which I would be so... The whole Superfamily. Yeah. Superman, Supergirl, Superboy. Yeah.
00:23:50
Ryan
You know, whoever else.
00:23:51
tommy cresta
but That would have to mean that Superman Lois have a kid.
00:23:54
Ryan
Or they could do the Lex clone thing.
00:23:54
tommy cresta
or they do the Lex clone thing. Oh, the clone. Yeah.
00:23:57
Ryan
Yeah.
00:23:58
tommy cresta
But he just did that.
00:23:58
Ryan
just did
00:24:01
tommy cresta
That was the villain of the movie.
00:24:01
Ryan
the That was.
00:24:02
tommy cresta
That was.
00:24:04
Ryan
This one could work.
00:24:04
tommy cresta
That would work.
00:24:05
tommy cresta
That one, Ultraman was a dumbass.
00:24:05
Ryan
Because that one, Ultraman was a dumbass.
00:24:07
Ryan
they They didn't do it right.
00:24:08
tommy cresta
That's going to be what's-his-name. I'm telling coming back as Bizarro. He went to that universe.
00:24:12
Ryan
Oh, yeah.
00:24:12
tommy cresta
is
00:24:13
Ryan
Yeah.
00:24:13
tommy cresta
He's got to.
00:24:14
tommy cresta
But it could be like, you Lex perfected the clone. Yeah, maybe.
00:24:14
Ryan
We could be like, you know, Lex perfected the cloning thing.
00:24:17
Ryan
Yeah. Sorry, Mark.
00:24:18
tommy cresta
That'd be pretty cool. Um... We got a new trailer for him starring Marlon Wayans and Tariq Withers.
00:24:22
Ryan
so
00:24:24
tommy cresta
I truly think this movie is going to be a disaster.
00:24:24
Ryan
i truly do this
00:24:28
Ryan
Yeah, it looks...
00:24:28
tommy cresta
Yeah, it looks...
00:24:29
Ryan
ah Maybe it could be okay, but...
00:24:29
tommy cresta
I mean, maybe.
00:24:31
tommy cresta
I think Monkey Paul got this movie because Jordan Pio didn't get weapons.
00:24:31
Ryan
I think...
00:24:33
Ryan
I've got this movie because... <unk> of
00:24:38
Ryan
Maybe. I just feel like that from the trailer, it just seems like they're trying too much.
00:24:39
tommy cresta
I just feel like that from the trailer, it just seems like they're trying too much.
00:24:42
Ryan
Like, if if it was a movie about, like, you know...
00:24:42
tommy cresta
Yeah, like I don't understand. it was movie about like, you know, if it was like a psychological horror about
00:24:47
Ryan
If it was, like, a psychological horror about, you know, trying too hard to...
00:24:49
tommy cresta
you know, trying too hard to, you know, he's a football player, and he's going too far, and he gets into steroids and all this, and he's going to push too far.
00:24:51
Ryan
Just, you know, he's a football player, and he's going too far, and he gets into steroids and all this, and he's getting pushed too far. so
00:24:56
tommy cresta
So much cooler.
00:24:56
Ryan
That could be pretty cool.
00:24:57
tommy cresta
The demonic stuff seems like it's pushing it so far.
00:24:58
Ryan
Yeah, there's like cult stuff and like they're bleeding everywhere.
00:25:00
tommy cresta
Yeah. yeah eating everywhere
00:25:02
Ryan
It's like, all right, that's...
00:25:03
tommy cresta
I think it's going to be that he made a deal with the devil or something.
00:25:03
Ryan
it's going to be like me to with
00:25:05
tommy cresta
Yeah, probably something like
00:25:05
Ryan
Yeah, probably something like that.
00:25:06
tommy cresta
It's going to go so far.
00:25:07
Ryan
so
00:25:07
tommy cresta
Which is, go yeah, like you said, too far.
00:25:08
Ryan
Which is going to, yeah, like you said, too far. I think if they made a psychological thriller about just like going too far into the things you love, that could be pretty interesting.
00:25:09
tommy cresta
I think if they made a psychological thriller about just, going too far into the things you love, that could be pretty interesting. Yeah, it's kind of like a movie that just came out.
00:25:16
Ryan
it's kind of like...
00:25:19
tommy cresta
ah Magazine Dreams did that really well.
00:25:19
Ryan
Magazine Dreams that really well.
00:25:21
tommy cresta
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
00:25:21
Ryan

Well, at first, they kept saying Jordan Peele's him.
00:25:25

So I thought Jordan Peele directed this.
00:25:29
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:30
tommy cresta
And then I was like, oh, no, it's Jordan Peele's Monkey Paul produced this.

00:25:34
Ryan
Yeah, I might go see it, but.
00:25:35

00:25:37
Ryan

Because they are just letting him off the chain to be himself in this.

00:26:31
tommy cresta
New Final Destination film is in the works with the Final Destination Bloodline co-writers to return, which is very good because I think it is possibly the best film in the franchise.
00:26:32
Ryan
Yeah. It loses steam little bit, but possibly the good. They were still yeah it was good
00:26:41
tommy cresta
Yeah, it was good. Me and Sam watched it the other day.
00:26:42
Ryan
me and sam
00:26:44
tommy cresta
She hadn't seen it. And I did agree watching it again. The first half of the movie's writing is really good, especially in a Final Destination movie.
00:26:48
Ryan
half writing
00:26:52
Ryan
yeah
00:26:52
tommy cresta
But it does really lose like the quippy writing yeah as the movie goes.
00:26:53
Ryan
but it does really but in writing year
00:26:57
tommy cresta
loses steam bit.
00:26:57
Ryan
loses steam a little bit but the kills are still good
00:27:00
tommy cresta
yeah
00:27:00
Ryan

I think the hospital kills are great.
00:27:00
Ryan
the hospital
00:27:02
tommy cresta
The MRI ones.
00:27:02
Ryan
The m MRI one's really cool.

Yeah. And then I think after then it kind of dragged for me.
00:27:04
Ryan
A
00:27:07
Ryan
little bit.
00:27:07
tommy cresta
A little bit.
00:27:08
Ryan
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:27:09
tommy cresta
like go i feel like stuff the three final deaths kind of dragged for me.
00:27:09
Ryan
Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:27:13
tommy cresta
Like the whole scene at the house.
00:27:13

That scene kind of Just cause I knew exactly how they were going to, play the idea.
00:27:19
Ryan

tommy cresta
But that was just me. But I am excited for Adam Steen, the guy who directed and wrote it, to come back.
00:27:24
Ryan

00:27:27
tommy cresta
Because I still think it's her...
00:27:29
Ryan
i still think
00:27:30
tommy cresta
I don't think they died at the end.
00:27:30
Ryan

00:27:32
tommy cresta
i think I think it's her premonition now.
00:27:32
Ryan
you think I think it's her premonition now. Yeah, her own premonition.
00:27:36
tommy cresta
Yeah, her own.

00:28:32
Ryan
That was the best part of the trailer.
00:28:33
tommy cresta
I don't think this is going to be good.
00:28:33
Ryan
don't think. I think it's got a shot, but yeah, it's gonna.
00:28:34
tommy cresta
I think it's got a shot. It's going to have to really catch me. Yeah. It's going to, I'm also not as big of an office fan.
00:28:40
Ryan
almost not
00:28:41
tommy cresta
So this is more for you.
00:28:42
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:28:42
Ryan
Yeah.
00:28:42
Ryan
I yelled at you for that. Cause I know you're lying. um
00:28:45
tommy cresta
I'm not lying.
00:28:47
Ryan
But um i I feel like if they get the heart in this show, then it could be good.
00:28:47
tommy cresta
Terrible relationship. Yeah, she's such terrible girlfriend. She cheats on her fiancé.
00:28:53
Ryan
But if they miss, because the the thing with The Office is that it is funny, but then the characters, and like when it gets serious, you actually do care.
00:28:54
tommy cresta
they miss because the the thing with the office is that it is funny but then the character' like get serious you yeah
00:29:01
Ryan
Like Jim and Pam, ah something I haven't watched The Office in a while.
00:29:02

Ryan
I watched it when I was in grade school.

00:29:27

00:29:28

00:29:40
Ryan
Who knows?
00:29:41
tommy cresta
Who knows?
00:29:41
Ryan
She could have been successful in that.
00:29:41
tommy cresta
have successful, man.
00:29:42
Ryan
You never know.
00:29:42
tommy cresta
She could have been.
00:29:42
Ryan
Yeah.
00:29:43
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:29:44
Ryan
um
00:29:45
tommy cresta
That's I've always felt about it.
00:29:45
Ryan
Yeah, no, the paper is going to have to really get like you to care about the characters before it gets good.
00:29:46
tommy cresta
Yeah, no, the paper's gonna have to really get, like, you care about the characters before it gets good.
00:29:51
Ryan
Because if you don't care about the characters, it's not going work.
00:29:51
tommy cresta
if you don't care about the characters, it's not gonna work.
00:29:53
Ryan
It can be as funny as you want.
00:29:53
tommy cresta
can be as funny as you want, it's not gonna be super entertaining if you don't give a shit.
00:29:54
Ryan
It's not going to be super entertaining if you just don't give a shit. Because I don't think, I doubt it's going to be as funny as, you know.
00:29:57
tommy cresta
Because I don't think, I doubt it's gonna be as funny. Yeah, you also don't have Steve Carell and Ed Helms in this.
00:30:00
Ryan
you also
00:30:02
tommy cresta
Yeah, no.
00:30:02
Ryan
Yeah, no.
00:30:03
tommy cresta
And John Krasinski.
00:30:03
Ryan
And yeah, Damo Gleeson is a great actor, but he's I don't think he's done much comedy before.
00:30:04
tommy cresta
Yeah, Donald Gleeson's a great actor. I don't know how his comedic stuff is.
00:30:09
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:09
tommy cresta
Yeah. But again, we could be wrong and this show could be a hit.
00:30:09
Ryan
ah yeah we could Yeah, that's true.
00:30:11
tommy cresta
Yeah, that's true.
00:30:12
Ryan
And again, like even The Office, like Steve Carell was not a fucking known guy.
00:30:12
tommy cresta
And again, like, Even The Office, Steve Perrell was not a fucking known guy.
00:30:16
Ryan
The same with Ed Helms wasn't.
00:30:16
tommy cresta
Yeah, just he he'd least just gotten denied from SNL when The Office came up.
00:30:19
Ryan
Yeah. Ed Helms wasn't huge. Like, you know.
00:30:23
tommy cresta
John Krasinski was not known at all.
00:30:23
Ryan
umzinski Yeah, nothing.
00:30:25
tommy cresta
Yeah, nothing. Frank Wilson.
00:30:27
Ryan
So the craziest thing is that um I think it's like season three of The Office.
00:30:28
tommy cresta
I think it's like season three of The Office. He's running away the whole time.
00:30:30
Ryan
He's wearing a wig the whole time.
00:30:32
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:30:32
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:32

00:36:25
Ryan

00:36:27
Ryan
some
00:36:29
tommy cresta
Because I think this is before Alien.

00:36:34
Ryan
yeah so
00:36:34

00:36:35
tommy cresta
Oh, maybe it's them sending the ship up. Like Ridley, Ridley ship up.

00:37:04
tommy cresta
What is your, I'll let you go first.
00:37:04
Ryan
What is your...
00:37:05
tommy cresta
what are you What are your initial thoughts, Ryan, that you want to share with everyone?
00:37:08
Ryan
I thought that it was very, very good.
00:37:08
tommy cresta
I thought it was very, very good.
00:37:10
Ryan
I thought all the acting was good.
00:37:10
tommy cresta
I thought all the acting was good.
00:37:11
tommy cresta
I love how was told in the semi-chronological order. Yeah, like chapters?
00:37:11
Ryan
I loved how it was told in the semi-chronological order.
00:37:16
Ryan
Yeah, because it's all it's all chapters about and you see each character's perspective, but I love how all of the chapters kind of end, they end and then ah the next chapter starts like halfway where the last chapter was and then goes halfway past where the last chapter ended.
00:37:17
tommy cresta
Yeah, because it's all chapters about you seeing each character's perspective, but I love how all of the chapters kind of end. They end, and then the next chapter starts like halfway where the last chapter was.
00:37:30
tommy cresta
It goes halfway past where the last chapter ends, and then it kind of
00:37:32
Ryan
And then it kind of like it's not, they don't all start from the same day.
00:37:33
tommy cresta
Like, it's not, they don't all start on the same day. So you don't always have to, like, refresh re-hash the same points.
00:37:37
Ryan
Yeah, it's yeah, I liked how they were told.
00:37:38
tommy cresta
I did like that. Yeah, I liked how they were told.
00:37:41
Ryan
so
00:37:41
tommy cresta
Because I was kind of, I was like, we going to have to see the same scenes over again?
00:37:44
Ryan
Yeah, which is kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.
00:37:45
tommy cresta
And it didn't. And it gave us different angles.
00:37:48
Ryan
Yeah, it was always something different and it was always something that kind of like revealed.
00:37:48
tommy cresta
It was always something different. It was always something that kind of revealed.
00:37:51
Ryan
It was a great order that they decided to, you know, that the stories told in.
00:37:51
tommy cresta
It was a great order that they decided to, you know, that the story's told in.
00:37:55
Ryan
um And then the the last chapter, which is Alex's chapter, you see, you know, the whole thing even from before um all the important stuff.
00:37:56
tommy cresta
And then the the last chapter, which is Alex's chapter, you see, you the whole thing from before. All the important stuff.
00:38:03
Ryan
So I thought the movie was very good.
00:38:03
tommy cresta
So I thought the movie was very good.
00:38:06
Ryan
i really liked it.
00:38:06
tommy cresta
really liked it. I'm trying to think what else.
00:38:08
Ryan
I'm trying to think what else. Everybody was good.
00:38:11
tommy cresta
Everybody was good. The performances were all great.
00:38:12
Ryan
The performances were all great. I like that none of the characters are totally good.
00:38:14
tommy cresta
I liked that none of the characters are totally good.
00:38:18
Ryan
Everybody's kind of an asshole.
00:38:18
tommy cresta
Everybody's kind of an asshole.
00:38:20
Ryan
You know what mean? For better, for worse, whether it's justified or not, nobody's a saint in this movie.
00:38:21
tommy cresta
For better for worse, whether it's justified or not, nobody's the same in this movie.
00:38:24
Ryan
Everybody has something you can look at to be like they're kind of a piece of shit.
00:38:24
tommy cresta
Everybody has something you can look at be like they're kind of piece shit. Except Alex.
00:38:29
Ryan
Yeah, except Alex.
00:38:29
tommy cresta
Yeah, except Alex.
00:38:30
Ryan
But he's, you know, he's a 10-year-old kid, so it's not...
00:38:30
tommy cresta
But he's 10 year That's what I'm saying.
00:38:34
Ryan
um But yeah, the Julia Gardner's character is, without spoilers, like she's, you can tell she wants the best, but then
00:38:36
tommy cresta
But yeah, the Gardner's character is, without spoilers, like, she's, you tell she wants the best, but. Oh no, she's just a piece of shit. She might be the worst person.
00:38:49
Ryan
she's up there, but like, I don't You can tell she wants the kids to be found.
00:38:49
tommy cresta
She's up there, but like, I don't she can tell she wants. Yeah, she wants to be, yeah, for the kids.
00:38:53
Ryan
Yeah.
00:38:54
tommy cresta
I mean, but like.
00:38:54
Ryan
Yeah.
00:38:55
tommy cresta
But again, like I said, she's kind of going about it wrong way.
00:38:55
Ryan
But again, like I said, she's kind of going about it the wrong way.
00:38:58

00:40:43
tommy cresta
That happened. Don't come to my house. Yeah, but I really liked the movie.
00:40:46
Ryan
Yeah, but I really liked the movie. I think it lived up.
00:40:48
tommy cresta
I think it looked up.
00:40:49
Ryan
There were only a couple points where it was like a little slow, but then things picked up immediately.
00:40:49
tommy cresta
There were only a couple points where it was like a little slow, then things picked up immediately.
00:40:54
Ryan
It felt like every scene was important.
00:40:54
tommy cresta
It felt like every scene was important.
00:40:56
Ryan
Every scene had like a point to it.
00:40:57
tommy cresta
Every scene had like point to it like it was it was good think the only thing i didn't love which getting out spoilers was the the shot with the air the dream i i still have no idea what that meant i don't understand i'll talk about word spoilers but like i thought it was gonna mean but it just didn't mean anything so i was kind of confused by that but it just looked very no it wasn't sequence but it still felt real yeah
00:40:59
Ryan
Like it was it was good. I think the only thing I didn't love, which getting out of spoilers, was the the shot with the AR-15, the dream. still felt like it.
00:41:12
Ryan
I don't understand it because I'll talk about it more in the spoilers. What like, you know, I thought it was going to mean, but then it just didn't mean anything. So I was kind of confused by that, but it just looked very out of place, even though it was a dream sequence, but it still felt real and like grounded.
00:41:28
Ryan
But yeah, I don't know.
00:41:28
tommy cresta
I thought it was going say he was like in the military and had some issues.
00:41:32
Ryan
um But yeah, what did you think?
00:41:33
tommy cresta
But, yeah, did you think? So I went into this, I think people know this, I went into this with much, much lower expectations.
00:41:38
Ryan
so i
00:41:43
Ryan
because outfit is not a good thing.
00:41:44
tommy cresta
Just because of how I feel about Barbarian. I think Zach Kroger is very talented in what he does with film.
00:41:46
Ryan
I think that I'm very comfortable looking at the film.
00:41:49
tommy cresta
i I get what Barbarian is and I get that it's very well made and stuff. It's just not a movie that I like. So I went into this.
00:41:56
Ryan
I so I wouldn't expect me walk out and get sick.
00:41:58
tommy cresta
expecting to walk out thinking this movie was going to 50, it going to 60, like very low.
00:42:00
Ryan
But I don't know if didn't know if I was going to play it.
00:42:03
tommy cresta
i didn't think I was going like it.
00:42:04
Ryan
And I walked out extremely surprised when I thought I did it.
00:42:04
tommy cresta
And I walked out extremely surprised. I liked it way more than i thought I did. i still don't like it as much as I think the Rotten Tomatoes people like it, but I like it definitely way more than I thought I was going to.
00:42:08
Ryan
still don't like it as much as I was going to play it. But I like as a point. way more high-five years.
00:42:15
tommy cresta
I think all the performances were really good.
00:42:15
Ryan
I think all the characters are really good.
00:42:17
tommy cresta
I think the standouts for me were Amy Madigan as Gladys, Austin Abrams as James, and probably
00:42:17
Ryan
I think the standout team are even mad at the Gladys, Austin, you know, James, like, it's all the same.
00:42:24
tommy cresta
It's all the side characters from Eric and the little kids, Alex, Carrie Christopher.
00:42:26
Ryan
And the look is Alex.
00:42:28
tommy cresta
Not that Julia, Julia a Garner, Jasper on that great bad.
00:42:28
Ryan
Not that Julia, you know, but I think those side-fathers are so good in the world.
00:42:32
tommy cresta
just think those side characters were so good in their roles.
00:42:35
Ryan
And I think it's really good.
00:42:36
tommy cresta
And I think the story is good. I like how creepy it gets and it actually delivers on some scares throughout the movie.
00:42:38
Ryan
I like how he gets the act of the way from the stairs up to me.
00:42:43
tommy cresta
Again, ah of course, I want to be more scared, but it definitely, there are scenes that stuck with me, like I thought about later on.
00:42:43
Ryan
Yeah. Super creepy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:52
Ryan
scene
00:42:52
tommy cresta
There's a scene specifically outside of the house at pretty early on that was just creepy.
00:42:55
Ryan
yeah
00:42:57
Ryan
um creepy it was
00:42:58
tommy cresta
and And they go back to it a little bit later on.
00:43:00
Ryan
little <unk>t
00:43:01
tommy cresta
doesn't deliver the same kind of creep to it because kind of know more what's going to happen. yeah
00:43:04
Ryan
yeah
00:43:05
tommy cresta
But the first time, it delivers.
00:43:05
Ryan
the first
00:43:07
tommy cresta
And it is weird and it's creepy and it's really cool.
00:43:07
Ryan
yeah weird the Yeah. This movie, the the scares are much more like suspense and like just like...
00:43:11
tommy cresta
This movie, the scares are much more like suspense. Yeah. Just like...
00:43:17
Ryan
um Yeah, it's suspenseful.
00:43:18
tommy cresta
Yeah, suspenseful. That's what I'm trying to think of.
00:43:19
Ryan
What's the word I'm trying to think of? I don't know.
00:43:20
tommy cresta
Like... I don't It's not...
00:43:23
Ryan
There's a couple like jump scares and like payoffs like that.
00:43:23
tommy cresta
There's a couple, like, jump scares. Like... Yeah, but a lot of them are just slow burn.
00:43:26
Ryan
A lot of them are very slow.
00:43:26
tommy cresta
them built up.
00:43:27
Ryan
Yeah, it's just built up.
00:43:28
tommy cresta
Just built up. Definitely a couple of good jump scares, though.
00:43:30
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, the one guy, you, real good.
00:43:30
tommy cresta
Yeah. mean, the one got you. Real good. The ceiling.
00:43:33
Ryan
The ceiling.
00:43:35
tommy cresta
Fuck, yeah.
00:43:35
Ryan
Fuck yeah.
00:43:35
tommy cresta
Why?
00:43:36
tommy cresta
And the one with Josh Brolin got me.
00:43:36
Ryan
And the one
00:43:39
Ryan
Oh, yeah, in the bed.
00:43:39
tommy cresta
Oh, yeah. In the dream. Yeah.
00:43:40
Ryan
Yeah, okay. Yeah.
00:43:41
tommy cresta
The best scare, though, is one that happens to James when he's in the woods and he hears the girl laughing.
00:43:41
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. one
00:43:45
Ryan
when what here's
00:43:49
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:43:50
Ryan
yeah
00:43:50
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:43:50
Ryan
i thought
00:43:50
tommy cresta
I thought about that the next day. i was, what was I doing?
00:43:55
tommy cresta
Oh, I was driving back to my house. and you know how it's the woods where I stepped in the beehive? I thought about it and I was like, fuck that.
00:43:55

00:43:59
Ryan
and really
00:44:02
tommy cresta
I just kept driving. was like, don't even look.
00:44:03
Ryan
yeah dont yeah
00:44:05
tommy cresta
But yeah, there so this movie does deliver for me on that part.
00:44:05
Ryan
yeah this
00:44:08
tommy cresta
So I was very happy and I thought Zach Craig really amped it up in this movie.
00:44:08
Ryan
very
00:44:11
Ryan
really
00:44:12
tommy cresta
And I think everything I had issue with in Barbarian, he improved on, so.

00:47:19
Ryan
I think
00:47:21
tommy cresta
um But yeah, no.
00:47:23
Ryan
it's something stupid about keeping me extremely in wanting to know what was going on.
00:47:23
tommy cresta
i I think weapons did a really good job of keeping me extremely interested in wanting to know what the what was going on in the situation. Like, who was at fault.
00:47:34
Ryan
was Yeah. i want Mystery.
00:47:35
tommy cresta
And I wasn't expecting what it was.
00:47:37
Ryan
Yeah.
00:47:37
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:47:37
Ryan
I mean, it it holds its cards like close to the chest.
00:47:38
tommy cresta
You find things out when they want to.
00:47:40
Ryan
You don't, you find things out when they want you to find things out.
00:47:40
tommy cresta
i yeah you find things out when they
00:47:43
Ryan
There's no like holes you can kind of look through and be like, Oh, I think I figured it out.
00:47:43
tommy cresta
there's no like whole I think i figured it out.
00:47:46
Ryan
You have no idea until it comes.
00:47:46
tommy cresta
You have no idea. No idea. Until it comes. and And that's not to say it's like a surprise or like of left field.
00:47:49
Ryan
And that's not to say it's like a surprise or like a out of left field. Like that doesn't make sense.
00:47:52
tommy cresta
Like that doesn't make sense.
00:47:53
Ryan
Everything makes sense.
00:47:53
tommy cresta
Everything makes Oh yeah, no, they, they, they show you what's going to happen when it happens.
00:47:55
Ryan
Yeah. They just, hear yeah.
00:47:59
tommy cresta
Like they just build up the history very, very well.
00:47:59
Ryan
They just build up the mystery very, very well. That was done. Great.
00:48:02
tommy cresta
Yeah.

Comparisons with 'Barbarian'

00:48:03
tommy cresta
The Bandic Wong scene when he first appears, like when things go wrong, that was creepy as shit.
00:48:03
Ryan
I feel like day before we saw this cause I hadn't seen it yet just wanted watch the Zach Greger movies last movie.
00:48:07
tommy cresta
Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like Barbarian didn't have any of that for me. Like there was not one scene where like, Like, it was little eerie at first when Bill Skarsgård was around, but after that, I didn't feel any tension.
00:48:17
Ryan
Um,
00:48:19
tommy cresta
I feel like that first, because watched Barbarian day before we saw this, because hadn't seen yet, just wanted the exact idea of what we saw.
00:48:19
Ryan
feel like that first because i watched barbarian the day before we saw this because i hadn't seen yet and just wanted to watch the zach kraor movies last movie um I feel like I liked it more than you, but I also knew going into it that there were a lot of people who didn't like it.
00:48:27
tommy cresta
I feel like I liked it more than you, but I also knew knowing that there were a lot people who could get in the market, lot people loved it.
00:48:32
Ryan
a lot of people who loved it.
00:48:33
tommy cresta
And you also knew, like, how I ended up.
00:48:34
Ryan
I knew the general story. Yeah, I knew.
00:48:35
tommy cresta
Yeah, I know, yeah.
00:48:35
Ryan
Yeah. I also knew it was coming, but I felt like the best jump scare in that like was um right before she kills Skarsgård when like she turns the phone flashlight up and it's just behind him and grabs Skarsgård.
00:48:36
tommy cresta
also knew it was coming, but I felt like that's jump-scaring, that, john like, was, um, right before she kills Skarsgård, when he turns the phone flash on.
00:48:49
tommy cresta
Oh, and smashes head.
00:48:49
Ryan
Yeah, that was good.
00:48:50
tommy cresta
Yeah, yeah.
00:48:50
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. but that
00:48:51
tommy cresta
But that's what saying. After he's gone, there's...
00:48:53
Ryan
Yeah, after that.
00:48:54
tommy cresta
After that, also kind respect that because a lot of monster movies will try to hold on to that, like, that scare of seeing the monster for the first time, whereas Barbarian like, yeah, people have already seen it.
00:48:54
Ryan
But I also kind of respect that because a I feel like a lot of monster movies will try to hold on to that, like that scare of seeing the monster for the first time. Whereas Barbarian was like, yeah, people have already seen it.
00:49:05
Ryan
We got the one scare out of the way.
00:49:05
tommy cresta
We got the one scare. Now let's, you know, just show the monster for what it is.
00:49:07
Ryan
Now let's, you know, just show the monster for what it is.
00:49:09
tommy cresta
Because that is annoying when movies have a monster that looks scary, and then they reveal it for first time.
00:49:10
Ryan
Because that is annoying when movies have a monster that looks scary, and then they reveal it for the first time, and it's scary.
00:49:14
tommy cresta
It's scary.
00:49:15
Ryan
And then they just keep trying to bank on that same scare of like revealing it in the dark.
00:49:15
tommy cresta
And then they keep trying to bank on that same scare. Yeah.
00:49:20
Ryan
I respected Barbarian for just being like, alright, we did the reveal scare, let's just show it from now on.
00:49:20
tommy cresta
I respected Barbarian for just being like, alright, we did the reveal scare. Barbarian's monster wasn't scary.
00:49:26
Ryan
It was creepy looking.
00:49:26
tommy cresta
was creepy.
00:49:27
Ryan

Mystery Elements and Suspense

00:50:00
Ryan
feel like...
00:50:00
tommy cresta

00:50:00
Ryan

00:50:08
tommy cresta
Because this movie's really hard to do, like, the... Yeah.
00:50:10
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, the mystery stuff, it's just kind of the whole thing, which, again, was done great.
00:50:14
tommy cresta
I agree.
00:50:14
Ryan
I think the...
00:50:14
tommy cresta
I think the... Was done. um I agree. I think the movie...
00:50:17
Ryan
Yeah, you're really trying to figure it out.
00:50:17
tommy cresta
He's really trying to figure it out.
00:50:19
Ryan
um
00:50:19
tommy cresta
Zack Krayger.
00:50:20
Ryan
Well done.
00:50:20
tommy cresta
Well done. Working on... you see he wrote a DCU script?
00:50:23
Ryan
He did?
00:50:24
tommy cresta
He did. A henchman movie.
00:50:24
Ryan
and
00:50:25
tommy cresta
for joke A Joker and Harley Quinn henchman movie.
00:50:25
Ryan
the
00:50:28
tommy cresta
So he said it was written before this was done.
00:50:28
Ryan
he Shit.
00:50:30
tommy cresta
But then the whole thing with James Gunn all happened.
00:50:31
Ryan
and Yeah, you probably just...
00:50:33
tommy cresta
And he's like, now he actually wants to like...
00:50:35
Ryan
Yeah, go ahead and do it.
00:50:35
tommy cresta
Yeah. Ship it. That would pretty cool.
00:50:36
Ryan
um Yeah, that'd be cool.
00:50:38
tommy cresta
Yeah, that would cool.
00:50:39
Ryan
um I think the the weapon was just...
00:50:39
tommy cresta
Batman. think the weapon was just...
00:50:43
Ryan
I feel like...
00:50:43
tommy cresta
I feel like, this movie's called Weapons, and I think that at the end, it's that, like, the kids become the weapons against Gladys and against the witch, and that's kind of like the...
00:50:44
Ryan
Because movie's called Weapons. And I think that at the end, it's that like the kids become the weapons against Gladys and against the witch. And that's kind of like the on-the-nose...
00:50:52
tommy cresta
Yeah, the kids are the... Like, everyone's a weapon.
00:50:53
Ryan
Yeah.
00:50:54
tommy cresta
That's like the whole...
00:50:54
Ryan
Yeah.
00:50:55
tommy cresta
Gladys can make whoever a weapon.
00:50:55
Ryan
Gladys can make whoever a weapon. So I think it was just the weapon...
00:50:57
tommy cresta
So I think it was just the weapon, the gun being a weapon in himself and a weapon that everybody recognizes.
00:50:59
Ryan
The gun being a weapon in and of itself and a weapon that everybody recognizes. and then having the 217...
00:51:03
tommy cresta
And having the.217... Oh, was saying that, like...
00:51:05
Ryan
It was saying like, yeah, that that time triggered the weapons.
00:51:05
tommy cresta
He was saying, like... Triggered the weapon? Yeah, that time triggered the weapon.
00:51:09
Ryan
I guess it's something like that.
00:51:09
tommy cresta
I guess it's something like
00:51:10
Ryan
But it's still, i don't know.
00:51:11
tommy cresta
i didn't think about that.
00:51:12
Ryan
I thought it looked kind of odd.
00:51:12
tommy cresta
I thought it looked kind of It looked a goofy to me.
00:51:14
Ryan
Yeah, it was just kind of out a place for a movie that's so like real and grounded.
00:51:14
tommy cresta
Yeah, it was just kind of out of place. Yeah.
00:51:17
Ryan
And then you kind of get, it is a dream sequence, so you can throw whatever the fuck in there.
00:51:18
tommy cresta
I agree. It is a dream sequence, so you can throw whatever in there.
00:51:21
Ryan
But it was just like, yeah, it was the one thing in the movie I was like, that's weird.
00:51:22
tommy cresta
It just seemed a little too far. It was the one thing in the movie. I was like, that's weird.
00:51:26
Ryan
But...
00:51:26
tommy cresta
That's how I felt about the kid chasing. like It felt like the way she would look back and be like, ah!
00:51:28
Ryan
felt like the way she like
00:51:32
tommy cresta
It just felt like a little over.
00:51:32
Ryan
just really I don't disagree with you.
00:51:34
tommy cresta
don't disagree.
00:51:35
Ryan
I felt that too, but.
00:51:35
tommy cresta
I thought that too. Because the idea of the kids chasing you and being like feral is a scary thought.
00:51:36
Ryan
i
00:51:40
Ryan
Yeah. it was telling
00:51:40
tommy cresta
It was kind of like how they were chasing her.
00:51:41
Ryan
ah the Yeah.
00:51:42
tommy cresta
yeah It seemed like it went like... he went Yeah.
00:51:43
Ryan
It went on for too long. Yeah.
00:51:44
tommy cresta
if she' gotten like just out of the house
00:51:44
Ryan
If she had gotten like just out of the house or maybe like to the neighbor's yard.
00:51:47
tommy cresta
I thought that's what it was going to be. The kids are destroying homes.
00:51:48
Ryan
Yeah. She runs like three. I mean, she's smashing through windows and going through.
00:51:49
tommy cresta
See, that didn't get laugh out me. She was scary. destroying homes which was
00:51:53
Ryan
Which was funny. I like that.
00:51:54
tommy cresta
i like that
00:51:55
Ryan
When the kids are like, when the kids trying to climb the fence and then just drops and they're stepping over each other.
00:51:55
tommy cresta
when the kids are like the kids trying to climb the fence then to drop see that would see that didn't get a laugh out of me i like
00:51:59
Ryan
That one was funny. I like that. But i also, I felt like it was like, you know, you build up this scary character for the whole movie or like the second half when you actually see her and she's so evil and wicked and you're just counting the whole time like, please kill this bitch.
00:52:02
tommy cresta
but also i felt like he was like you know you build up home like she was scary And she's so evil and wicked. You're just counting the whole time.
00:52:13
tommy cresta
Please kill this bitch.
00:52:14
Ryan
And then i feel like...
00:52:14
tommy cresta
And then... Kill... what The payoff was good.
00:52:17
Ryan
The payoff was good, yeah.
00:52:17
tommy cresta
payoff was good. When they, like, ripped her apart, that worked for me.
00:52:18
Ryan
yeah That was great.
00:52:19
tommy cresta
That was great.
00:52:19
Ryan
That was fun to watch.
00:52:20
tommy cresta
That was fun to watch.
00:52:21
Ryan
But I feel like it was just the, um like, you're so angry at the whole movie, and you're so like frustrated with trying to figure it out and watching these asshole characters.
00:52:21
tommy cresta
But I feel like it was just the, um... Like... You're so angry the whole movie and you're so, like, frustrated and trying to figure it out watching these asshole characters. So that they're, like, here...
00:52:30
Ryan
They're just like, just feel better.
00:52:30
tommy cresta
like, just feel better.
00:52:32
Ryan
You know, just put in this fun scene at the end.
00:52:33
tommy cresta
You know? Just put in this one. and Dude, the the, like, speech at the end did make me laugh.
00:52:34
Ryan
Mm-hmm. They make it a night out.
00:52:38
tommy cresta
That was good. they Some of the kids even learned got even spoke again this year.
00:52:39
Ryan
They use something like Ethan's phone.
00:52:42
tommy cresta
yes Yeah, see, don't think that was a joke, but I know why.
00:52:43
Ryan
Yeah, see, I don't think that was a joke, but I know why you're laughing at it.
00:52:46
tommy cresta
No, but the way that the girl delivers it comes off as like, she's trying to make it like, but see, look.
00:52:46
Ryan
Yeah, I know. No, yeah. <unk>s trying to make it like Yeah, it does sound like a little kid, like, not understanding that it's super serious and trying to make it like, this is better, right?
00:52:52
tommy cresta
he does selling a little kid like Yes. But it seemed like Zach Kragger's sense of humor is he's like.
00:52:59
Ryan
Yeah, he's a dark guy. Yeah. Which I did, like, at the end of Barbarian, too.
00:53:02
tommy cresta
which i did like at the end No, they definitely meant it as a joke. Because the other lines like.
00:53:05
Ryan
the other one
00:53:06
tommy cresta
The parents get fed by spoons to get fed.
00:53:06
Ryan
hair ski Yeah, somebody else is feeding them soup now.
00:53:08
tommy cresta
so It was down. Yeah.
00:53:10
Ryan
Yeah. No, I mean, that it was kind of joking.
00:53:11
tommy cresta
Other aunt raises him now.

tommy cresta
No, it's just, he talked about a bunch of interviews.
00:53:41

00:53:41
tommy cresta
He said, I think the general idea with weapons was that Gladys was kind of like the stand-in for the alcohol.
00:53:49

And then the part with Alex's story, which was kind of... Oh, they're like they're not doing anything and stuff like that?
00:53:49
Ryan
And then the part with like Alex's story, which is kind of.
00:53:52
Ryan
all the like there Yeah, that it's like there's this thing controlling his parents and making it hard for him to live.
00:53:54
tommy cresta
Yeah, and it's like there's this thing controlling his parents and making it hard for him to live.
00:53:58
Ryan
And he has to kind of like step up in certain ways was kind of a metaphor for his parents, you know, the things that he experienced in his young life.
00:53:58
tommy cresta
he has to kind like step up and circle It's kind of a metaphor for his parents. You know, the things that he's in his young life.
00:54:04
Ryan
So that's what I've seen.
00:54:04
tommy cresta
Oh, wow. what I was thinking. That's really cool.
00:54:06
Ryan
thats really Yeah, because i saw I saw a couple interviews like that, and then and know you're not going to know who i'm talking about, but Ryan Hollinger on YouTube, great horror YouTuber, just does like breakdowns of horror movies.
00:54:07
tommy cresta
Yeah. Because I saw couple interviews like that, and then... know you're not going to know what talking about, Ryan Holland, you're YouTube, great horror YouTuber. Just does, like, breakdowns on horror movies. I watched it.
00:54:17
Ryan
I watched it after I watched my films.
00:54:17
tommy cresta
It's just crazy. I know, but it's so crazy that you watch all these horror breakdowns for...
00:54:21

00:54:22
tommy cresta
You have really shifted on the horror things. Oh, yeah.
00:54:25

00:54:27
Ryan
yeah Yeah, I did.
00:54:28
tommy cresta

00:54:28
tommy cresta
Because I always found it interesting.
00:54:28
Ryan
Because I always found that interesting.
00:54:29
Ryan
Because I always found like horror movies, I feel like when you look into it in the more like metaphorical sense, have some of the most metaphors and things to break down in them.
00:54:30
tommy cresta
I always found, like, horror movies, I feel like, when you look into it in a more, like, metaphorical sense... so metaphors and things to break down in them.
00:54:40
Ryan
But you know just shown in this package of like scares and entertainment.
00:54:40
tommy cresta
But, you know, just showing this package of scares and entertainment.
00:54:44
Ryan
So I always found those videos pretty interesting.
00:54:44
tommy cresta
So, i always found those videos was pretty interesting.
00:54:46
Ryan
But Ryan Hollinger is pretty good...
00:54:46
tommy cresta
But Ryan Hollweg is pretty good, seemingly cool guy.
00:54:47
Ryan
Seemingly cool guy. I think he interviewed...
00:54:48
tommy cresta
I think he interviewed, what was the last, I forget.
00:54:51
Ryan
What was the last... I forget. He interviewed somebody big and it was was cool.
00:54:54
tommy cresta
He interviewed somebody big and it was cool. But he did a breakdown on weapons, like the dares of effort came out.
00:54:56
Ryan
But he did a breakdown on weapons like a day or two after he came out. Which he never does.
00:55:00

00:57:16
tommy cresta
So i was i was all in on it. It was cool to see how the people really can't die either.

00:57:30
tommy cresta
But also like your point. Like you see how everything works.
00:57:33
Ryan
You never see it without the main...
00:57:33
tommy cresta
You never see it without the main whoever's chapter it is, it's always through their eyes.
00:57:37
Ryan
Whoever's chapter it is, it's always through their eyes. There's never like a scene with just Gladys in a room where you just like reveal the whole thing.
00:57:39
tommy cresta
There's never like a scene with Gladys in a room where you just like reveal whole thing.
00:57:43

00:57:43
tommy cresta

00:57:45
tommy cresta
It's Ben and Gwang's Andrew watching.
00:57:46

Ben Jones' character sees it, Alex watches it and that's how he learns how to do it, which is important for how he you know saves save the day, you know, six the kids on her and kind of...
00:57:48
tommy cresta
Alex watches it and that's how he runs He's got to do it. He's important for how he saves the day. He sticks the kids on her. Alex is a brave dude. Brave kid.
00:57:56
Ryan
Yeah. right Super brave kid.
00:57:58
tommy cresta
Super brave kid.
00:57:59
Ryan
Yeah, but I like that where it's it's not like there's never a shot of just like
00:57:59
tommy cresta
Yeah, but like that where it's not like there's never a shot of

Perspective and Tension in 'Weapons'

00:58:03
Ryan
revealing how it works.
00:58:03
tommy cresta
revealing how it works.
00:58:03
Ryan
It's always through the characters.
00:58:03
tommy cresta
always through the character's eye.
00:58:05
Ryan
Every chapter is genuinely from that person's perspective.
00:58:05
tommy cresta
Every chapter is genuinely from that person's perspective.
00:58:08
Ryan
There's never an outside perspective in someone's chapter.
00:58:08
tommy cresta
There's never an outside perspective in someone's chapter. And it works.
00:58:11
Ryan
It's always just... Yeah, it works very, very well.
00:58:12
tommy cresta
it works very, very well. And I like how there's so many just when you are watching from someone's perspective, you are watching from behind them.
00:58:14
Ryan
like how... you are you are
00:58:20
tommy cresta
Like you feel like you are in that like their view of everything.
00:58:20
Ryan
feel like
00:58:23
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:24
tommy cresta
like yeah it is most of the time the back of their head and what they're looking at.
00:58:24
Ryan
your it is
00:58:28
tommy cresta
Especially Julia Garner.
00:58:28
Ryan
but julia Yeah.
00:58:29
tommy cresta
a lot of the time it is what she's seeing. Yeah.
00:58:31
Ryan
A lot of you over over the shoulder shots, especially with her.
00:58:31
tommy cresta
a lot
00:58:34
Ryan
Yeah.
00:58:35
tommy cresta
You know what scene creeped me out and then it wasn't scary?
00:58:35
Ryan
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:58:38
tommy cresta
The scene when Paul's girlfriend's following her around in the liquor store. Oh yeah. That was freaking me out at first. I was like fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
00:58:45
Ryan
Yeah. i was waiting for it to be somebody under control and then it's just
00:58:47
tommy cresta
somebody
00:58:49
Ryan
wasn't
00:58:49
tommy cresta
It wasn't. It was just something.
00:58:50
Ryan
yeah
00:58:51
tommy cresta
But that that's the point.
00:58:51
Ryan
but that
00:58:52
tommy cresta
Is that why I liked this so much more than Barbarian? Is it felt like that i I had that dread.
00:58:55
Ryan
like
00:58:57
Ryan
which I wanted to do.
00:58:58
tommy cresta
Which I wanted to feel to remember.
00:58:59
Ryan
Even in a back year, I was so nervous.
00:58:59
tommy cresta
Even in a packed theater of a movie that I was so nervous that I was going to be so scared of.
00:59:03
Ryan
was pretty good nervous.
00:59:05
tommy cresta
Like a good nervous. Like I wanted to be scared. I never felt.
00:59:07
Ryan
I never felt good.
00:59:08
tommy cresta
But with this I was like, holy fuck.
00:59:08
Ryan
I was like, holy fuck, this movie's...
00:59:10
tommy cresta
This movie Especially when the woman comes out the door in the at the house.
00:59:12
Ryan
Especially when the woman comes out the door. Yeah, with the scissors.
00:59:14
tommy cresta
With scissors.
00:59:15
Ryan
That was probably the creepiest part for me.
00:59:15
tommy cresta
spell Holy fuck.
00:59:17
Ryan
Yeah, the music too.
00:59:19
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:59:19
Ryan
It's just the like strings.
00:59:20
tommy cresta
The high string.
00:59:21
Ryan
high string Yeah, it was really good.
00:59:21
tommy cresta
The high string.
00:59:23
Ryan
And then, I mean...
00:59:24
tommy cresta
Insidious does that really well. They have like that same high string noise that they like to do.
00:59:26
Ryan
yeah Yeah, that's what I thought of when I heard it.
00:59:27
tommy cresta
That's what I thought. Fuck, man.
00:59:29
Ryan
um
00:59:30
tommy cresta
That's good.
00:59:30
Ryan
Yeah, and especially the payoff for that when she stops at the car window and then it just goes dead silent and then she walks around to the back door.
00:59:30
tommy cresta
Especially the payoff of that, when she stops at the car window, and then just goes dead silent, then she walks around the door. Did you hear the lady?
00:59:37
Ryan
Did you hear the lady? I think it was the lady next to Nate just goes like, oh, fuck.
00:59:38
tommy cresta
think it was the lady next to me. Just goes like, oh, fuck. Yeah. And then just hearing the car open, i was like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck.
00:59:42
Ryan
Yeah. can i stay the car
00:59:45
Ryan
Yeah. I mean, that was perfectly executed because you're waiting for it to get stabbed.
00:59:46
tommy cresta
That was perfectly executed. I did the thing that you just brought up to me the other day.
00:59:52
tommy cresta
What? I did like but the hand thing I do.
00:59:52
Ryan
What?
00:59:53

I like doing like I was like and I'll sit next to you.
00:59:55
Ryan
Yeah. was sitting next to you.
00:59:58
tommy cresta
So I like cross my arms again. I was like like don't let me see that. I did it.
01:00:01
Ryan
Yeah. No, but it was, I mean, that's one of the perfect points to what I was saying earlier with like the the scares.
01:00:02
tommy cresta
I mean that's one of the perfect points of what saying earlier. Like the scares.
01:00:07
Ryan
There's a couple jump scares, but this movie is scary because it just builds up just tension, suspense and everything, especially with that scare.
01:00:07
tommy cresta
There's a couple jump scares. But this movie is scary because it just builds up. Just tension. Suspense. And everything. Especially with that scary there's no there's no real scare.
01:00:14
Ryan
Cause there's no, there's no real scare. Like she just, she gets in.
01:00:16
tommy cresta
Like she just It's just how she moves and the music and everything around it.
01:00:19
Ryan
Yeah. It's scary. Yeah. It's scary how she moves.
01:00:21
tommy cresta
It's scary she moves and then she gets in the car and just cuts off piece
01:00:21
Ryan
And then she, she gets in the car and just cuts off a piece of the hair.
01:00:24
tommy cresta
Yeah. That's it.
01:00:24
Ryan
That's it. and You're sitting there.
01:00:25
tommy cresta
Just like the James, the waving scene I mentioned in the woods. like I mean, soon as he gets to town, I know it's going to be.
01:00:27
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:00:32
tommy cresta
like in my In my head, I was like like, okay, you know it's going to be the cop now.
01:00:32
Ryan
and my no yeah
01:00:36
tommy cresta
Yeah. And I did.
01:00:36
Ryan
and i did
01:00:37
tommy cresta
like I was like, this is where it is. It's not scary anymore. But the thought in my head, I was so like, now she's out there and you know there this creepy woman is out in these woods.
01:00:39
Ryan
but the thought in my yeah yeah you know she's there
01:00:45
tommy cresta
Yeah.
01:00:46
Ryan
she a
01:00:46
tommy cresta
I thought she was going to kill them in the woods. Was that Gladys out there?
01:00:49
Ryan
that
01:00:52
Ryan
yeah
01:00:52
tommy cresta
Yeah. Yeah, that was creeping me out.
01:00:53
Ryan
you
01:00:54
tommy cresta
Because that's who also was in the dream.
01:00:54
Ryan
was dream
01:00:56
tommy cresta
But she was dressed in that polka dot outfit again.
01:00:56
Ryan
press
01:00:58
tommy cresta
But you never see Gladys in that polka dot outfit.
01:00:58
Ryan
You never see Gladys.
01:01:01
tommy cresta
So could Gladys make herself be seen in people's like dreams?
01:01:01
Ryan
Yeah. Or was it Gladys? Because it wasn't it in the...
01:01:04
tommy cresta
wasn't and
01:01:05
Ryan
It was the same person.
01:01:06
tommy cresta
It was the same person.
01:01:07
Ryan
It was in the dream.
01:01:07
tommy cresta
Whoever was in James was in the dream.
01:01:10
Ryan
was the same person.
01:01:10
tommy cresta
was the same person who was in the woods. And then you see her again at some point.
01:01:12
Ryan
And then you see her now. Because I feel like that was a different looking person, wasn't it?
01:01:14
tommy cresta
feel like that different looking person. yeah It looks almost like a a man.
01:01:16
Ryan
like It almost looks like a a man. Yeah.
01:01:19
tommy cresta
Yeah, I don't know.
01:01:19
Ryan
So maybe there was something...
01:01:20
tommy cresta
It was creepy as fuck, though.
01:01:21
Ryan
yeah Maybe she just had somebody else under under her control kind of like lead people to do certain things.
01:01:23
tommy cresta
It's creepy as shit.
01:01:29
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
01:01:30
tommy cresta
But yeah, this movie did a great job with the suspense.
01:01:30
Ryan
Yeah.
01:01:32
tommy cresta
like It didn't feel it didn't have to be didn't have to rely on jump scares.
01:01:32
Ryan
he didnt
01:01:37
Ryan
yeah but again
01:01:38
tommy cresta
But again, this movie is not a horror movie.
01:01:39
Ryan
hard yeah it's smooth
01:01:41
tommy cresta
It's movie is definitely a thriller with scum. with great tension and great suspense.
01:01:45
Ryan
yeah
01:01:47
tommy cresta
Again, i feel like marketing teams need to pay attention to this stuff.
01:01:47
Ryan
again mark
01:01:51
tommy cresta
Lean into the idea that it's not a horror movie.
01:01:51
Ryan
mean
01:01:54
Ryan
yeah
01:01:54
tommy cresta
Lean into that this is just a mystery. Because I feel like if you do that and then it has scares, people are holy shit, like this movie was scary without even being a horror movie.
01:01:56
Ryan
like feel like you do that like
01:02:03
tommy cresta
yeah and then
01:02:03
Ryan
Yeah.
01:02:04
tommy cresta
But I mean, this movie doesn't need any help.
01:02:04
Ryan
but i mean
01:02:06
tommy cresta
This movie made 138% its butt already.
01:02:08
Ryan
Yeah.
01:02:09
tommy cresta
This movie's going I mean, Barbarian made crazy money.
01:02:11
Ryan
um very money
01:02:13
tommy cresta
This is going to make great money.
01:02:14
Ryan
Yeah, this is going to do good. Especially, I mean, everybody's talking about this.
01:02:15
tommy cresta
Especially, I mean, everybody's following movies.
01:02:17
Ryan
And I feel like for the wrong reasons, because like, like you said with Barbarian, but Zach Krager is a victim of not great marketing.
01:02:17
tommy cresta
And I feel like for the wrong reasons, because like, like you said with Barbaric, Zach Craig is a thing of a not-great

Horror vs Thriller Classification

01:02:24
tommy cresta
movie. Yeah, people are saying it's like the best horror movie.
01:02:25
Ryan
Because people are saying it's terrifying.
01:02:26
tommy cresta
People are saying it's terrifying.
01:02:27
Ryan
And then... um
01:02:28
tommy cresta
I don't think it's a terrifying movie.
01:02:29
Ryan
No, it's not.
01:02:30
tommy cresta
No, it's not.
01:02:30
Ryan
I feel like people might be disappointed by that.
01:02:30
tommy cresta
I feel like people might disappointed by that.
01:02:32
Ryan
I think people will find it scary.
01:02:32
tommy cresta
I think people will find scary. Yeah.
01:02:34
Ryan
But I think people are going to be disappointed.
01:02:34
tommy cresta
But I think people are going to be disappointed.
01:02:35
Ryan
i think If word gets out there that it's like, it's it's good, but it's not as scary as people are saying.
01:02:35
tommy cresta
If word gets out there that it's like, it's good, but it's not as scary people are saying.
01:02:39
Ryan
People might lose interest, yeah which is bad.
01:02:39
tommy cresta
People might lose interest. Yeah, like, um...
01:02:45
tommy cresta
Chuck, the movie guy, the guy that we're doing a Hell House with, I was watching his review, and he specifically was like, he's like, this is not a horror movie.
01:02:45
Ryan
Just
01:02:52
tommy cresta
he's like He's like, just because something has jump scares does not automatically make it horror.
01:02:53
Ryan
because something gets filmed scared does not automatically get harder.
01:02:56
tommy cresta
yeah Which is so true, and it's...
01:02:57
Ryan
Which is so true and
01:03:01
tommy cresta
The movie that scares Ryan more than anything in the world is Georgina Han Asylum.
01:03:01
Ryan
The movie that's characterized by anything in the world is going to be on set. That movie has jump scares in it.
01:03:05
tommy cresta
That movie has jump scares in it. The jump scares are not what make that movie scary.
01:03:08
Ryan
Jump scares are not what make that movie scary.
01:03:10
tommy cresta
yeah The whole everything else around the movie makes it scary.
01:03:11
Ryan
The whole, everything else around it. Yeah, it's knowing that everybody's just constantly in danger and fear.
01:03:13
tommy cresta
It's knowing that In fear. Yeah.
01:03:17
Ryan
yeah
01:03:18
tommy cresta
That's what makes that movie scary.
01:03:18
Ryan
That's what makes Hell House so scary to the idea of Hell House.
01:03:19
tommy cresta
It's what makes Hell House is so scary because the idea of Hell House and the idea of the clown to me is what makes it scary to me.
01:03:22
Ryan
The idea of the clown in the movie. But again, it's strange this.
01:03:25
tommy cresta
But again, The Strangers is scary because just the stuff in the background, building a suspense.
01:03:28
Ryan
so in the back
01:03:30
tommy cresta
But ah jump scares don't make something a horror movie.
01:03:31
Ryan
um scar
01:03:32
tommy cresta
And this is not a horror movie. And it's, I don't want Zachary to get put in the, like, that he can only make horror movies when I feel like this guy can make anything.
01:03:34
Ryan
don't want but in yeah but you can only get And we've been saying like it's it's a scary movie because it's suspenseful but it's it's suspenseful in moments where it needs to be where they get scary but a lot of the movie is characters trying to figure out this mystery and like talking with each other you know arguing yelling at each other most of the time but yeah exactly.
01:03:40
tommy cresta
We've been saying, like, it's a scary movie, but it's suspenseful. But it's suspenseful in moments where it needs to be. where it gets scary. But a lot of the movie is characters trying to figure out this mystery, like, talking with each other, you know, arguing and yelling each other.
01:03:53
tommy cresta
Great drama, too. Like, great acting, writing.
01:03:55
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
01:03:57
tommy cresta
Yeah, but we're saying, like, the scares are from the suspense and tension.
01:03:57
Ryan
But we're saying like the scares are from the suspense and tension, but it's not, that's not throughout the whole movie, like a Kojima or a hell house where, you know, like, yeah, it's like those movies, those true horror movies are like, there's always something right around the corner like something could be Washington right now.
01:04:00
tommy cresta
But it's not that's not throughout the whole movie, like a Godzilla or a Hell House. Yeah, it comes and goes. Yeah, it's like those movies, those true horror movies, are like, there's always something right on corner, like, something could be watching the brain.
01:04:13
Ryan
This movie, that's that's kind of true, but most of the time you don't really feel it.
01:04:13
tommy cresta
this movie, that's that's kind of true, but most of the time you don't really feel it.
01:04:16
Ryan
It's more so just figuring out this mystery.
01:04:16
tommy cresta
It's more so just figuring out this mystery.
01:04:19
Ryan
And then as they get closer and closer, you know as the movie goes on, and you get closer and closer to figuring out the the mystery, then it starts getting scarier and scarier because you know they're getting closer to the evil.
01:04:19
tommy cresta
And then as they get closer and closer, know, as the movie goes on, and you get closer closer figuring out the mystery, then it starts getting scarier. They're getting closer to people.
01:04:30
Ryan
You know what i mean?
01:04:30
tommy cresta
Yeah.
01:04:31
tommy cresta
No, I agree. And then that was really good point.
01:04:31
Ryan
That was a really good
01:04:35
Ryan
But, yeah, just not part of the music.
01:04:35
tommy cresta
But, yeah, it's it's not a horror movie. It's a thriller, which I know a thriller is very close to horror, but as Ryan...
01:04:38
Ryan
You know, Riddler is very close to Harper. bri
01:04:43
tommy cresta
Very accurately said, horror is a continuous feeling.
01:04:43
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. continuous feeling
01:04:46
tommy cresta
It is from beginning to end.
01:04:47
Ryan
to end
01:04:48
tommy cresta
Horror has that like first act of like, oh, everything's good.
01:04:49
Ryan

01:04:52
tommy cresta
Snap the finger. Everything goes bad.
01:04:54
Ryan

01:04:54
tommy cresta
Thriller is, your it's normally a mystery.
01:04:56
Ryan
normally a mystery
01:04:57
tommy cresta
You're figuring something out and there's moments of tension and suspense throughout.
01:04:57
Ryan
bigger something out moments of tension and throughout
01:05:01
tommy cresta
And that's what this movie does so well.
01:05:01
Ryan
that's what this one does so well
01:05:02
tommy cresta
So I feel like it needs to, they need to stop saying it.
01:05:02
Ryan

I heard it immediately.
01:13:27
Ryan
I was like, is that Anakin?
01:13:27
tommy cresta
I was like, is that Anakin? Immediately. immediately I looked it up and was like, yeah.
01:13:30
Ryan
Immediately, I looked it up and was like, yeah. And it's funny because um Justice League, Throne of Atlantis is the third one.
01:13:32
tommy cresta
And it's funny because... Justice League, Growing Atlantis is the third one.
01:13:38
Ryan
um It's... Is it good?
01:13:39
tommy cresta
Is it good? Yeah, it's good.
01:13:39
Ryan

01:13:40
tommy cresta
I've never watched, like, I haven't really watched any of their solo ones.
01:13:40
Ryan
haven't really watched either so long. Yeah, it's pretty good.
01:13:43
tommy cresta
I've only watched, the team ones.
01:13:44
Ryan
Well, that's the Justice League one.
01:13:44
tommy cresta

01:13:48
tommy cresta
Yeah, it's good.
01:13:48
Ryan
it's um It's...
01:13:49
tommy cresta
I watched probably 20 of the 26, think.
01:13:50
Ryan
It's the first one with Aquaman, but it's...
01:13:51
tommy cresta
It's the first one with Aquaman. But it's, it's basically, it's honestly, it's the same story just without the Justice League of the Aquaman movie.
01:13:53
Ryan
um It's basically, it's honestly, it's the same story just without the Justice League of the Aquaman movie cutting some things.
01:14:00
tommy cresta
Oh. Cutting some things.
01:14:01
Ryan
But it's the same thing of like, ah Mira goes up and finds him.
01:14:01
tommy cresta
But it's the same thing of, like, mi goes up and finds me she's like arthur you have to come back or he help atlanti and forms
01:14:04
Ryan
She's like, Arthur, you have to come back and help Atlantis. And Orm's down there as brother, half-brother. But it's funny because, what's his name?
01:14:09
tommy cresta
But it's funny, what's his name, Sam Woodward?
01:14:11
Ryan
Sam Witwer, I think?
01:14:12
tommy cresta
Yeah. Yeah, he voices Palpatine and Perger, Paul.
01:14:12
Ryan
The guy voices Palpatine and Maul. He's done Palpatine a couple times, but he's Orm.
01:14:16
tommy cresta
He's done Palpatine a couple times. He's the one.
01:14:18
tommy cresta
Oh, really? That's pretty funny.
01:14:18
Ryan
So it was Anakin and fucking Maul.
01:14:21
Ryan
So I thought that was funny.
01:14:21
tommy cresta
So, thought that was funny. But yeah, it's the to the Aquaman live action movie, which I just thought was kind of funny.
01:14:22
Ryan
But yeah, it's the same similar story to the Aquaman live action movie, which I just thought was kind of funny. yeah
01:14:28
tommy cresta
Yeah, they probably took it for that.
01:14:29
Ryan
Oh yeah, clearly.
01:14:29
tommy cresta
oh yeah. this The Aquaman movie probably came out first, the animated one.
01:14:34
Ryan
Yeah, I think it was like 16 or something.
01:14:34
tommy cresta
Yeah, i think it was like 16 or something.
01:14:36
Ryan
I want to say Aquaman was maybe like 18.
01:14:36
tommy cresta
Oh, that's like you. Yeah.
01:14:38
Ryan
So I mean close, but yeah, it was close.

01:15:02
tommy cresta
um Those were good choices. I'm going to recommend two different things. i recommend a show and a movie. First, I'm going to recommend The Rookie TV show.
01:15:10
Ryan
I'm obsessed.
01:15:11
tommy cresta
I'm obsessed.
01:15:11
Ryan
It is also my background.
01:15:12
tommy cresta
I'm already on season two. It is also my background show, so I'm not fully paying attention.
01:15:13
Ryan
I'm not going to do a fantastic show. I'm doing lot of stuff.
01:15:15
tommy cresta
I'm doing other stuff while i'm watching it.
01:15:16
Ryan
Yeah.
01:15:16
tommy cresta
But it's really good.
01:15:17
Ryan
Which is really good.
01:15:17
tommy cresta
i mean, the one episode I watched, it's the eighth episode of the show.
01:15:17
Ryan
I mean, the one episode watched, the eight episodes of the show, it is...
01:15:22
tommy cresta
It is one of the best episodes of television I've watched in a long time.
01:15:24
Ryan
One of the best episodes of television I've watched in a long time. Really?
01:15:27
tommy cresta
It is really sad, and it's really accurate to what
01:15:27
Ryan
It is really sad. It's really accurate.
01:15:31
tommy cresta
um It's about a cop having to use lethal force and like the the whole thing that happened when cops do have to use lethal force in a real scenario and like what cops do after.
01:15:32
Ryan
It's about a cop having just legal force. The whole thing happens when cops legal force in a whole scenario. And what cops do after.
01:15:40
tommy cresta
and Because they do become suspects.
01:15:40
Ryan
Because they become suspects.
01:15:42
tommy cresta
They have to go through investigations.
01:15:43
Ryan
Yeah, it's treated like a homicide. Yeah, it becomes a homicide.
01:15:44
tommy cresta
Yeah, it it becomes a haside homicide case. um So that was cool. And then the movie i'm goingnna I want to recommend, I'm going recommend The Conjuring 2.
01:15:49
Ryan
And in the movie, I'm going to recommend the Connick 2. yeah it is definitely more James Bond than the Connery one because he just goes fuck it for better for worse but yeah yeah yeah I think it looks cool yeah I like it yeah
01:15:54
tommy cresta
Fantastic movie. I always used say it's better than The Conjuring 1. It's not better than The Conjuring 1. It is definitely more James Wan than the Conjuring one. Because he just goes fucking... For better or worse.
01:16:05
tommy cresta
Yeah, like balls to the wall with it. Like he has the claymation sequence, which I used to not like, but i love the older one. Because he really just goes for it. and so But like, it definitely gets more that like he's just going for scares.
01:16:18
Ryan
yeah there's more like yeah like the first one
01:16:20
tommy cresta
Like the first one, it seems like it was going... It has to be a movie, so it's a little over the top to what the action story is.
01:16:26
Ryan
But it's more grounded than the second one.
01:16:26
tommy cresta
it's more grounded. Yeah.
01:16:27
Ryan
The second one is like multiple demons and like figures.
01:16:27
tommy cresta
The second one is like... Demon creed volok showing up.
01:16:30
Ryan
Yeah.
01:16:31
tommy cresta
and
01:16:32
Ryan
ah yeah but
01:16:32
tommy cresta
Yeah. But I love The Conjuring too. And it has some great scares in it still. The scene when the toy truck comes back in always scared the shit out of me as a kid.
01:16:38
Ryan
sha Yeah. always good And I love the scene during the interview with the little girl when she like, it's fuzzy in the background.
01:16:42
tommy cresta
I loved seeing that during the interview with the little girl when like, it's fuzzy in the background. And she's transformed.
01:16:47
Ryan
You see her morph into the old man. It's super cool looking.
01:16:50
tommy cresta
Yeah. So I'm excited.
01:16:50
Ryan
so I'm excited
01:16:51

01:16:55
Ryan
I haven't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

tommy cresta
Because I was too young, I think, to see any of them.
01:16:58
Ryan
i yeah
01:17:00
tommy cresta
Because I saw the Insidious's because they were PG-13, so I could go into them.
