Hello?
00:00:28
Hello.
00:00:29
is now a good time?
00:00:32
No, try back later please.
00:00:35
Sorry, I don't know why I was taken aback by you starting the podcast after you said, ready?
00:00:40
And then started the podcast, you know what I mean?
00:00:42
But here we are, so.
00:00:45
we are.
00:00:46
Well, happy Tuesday.
00:00:48
Happy Tuesday.
00:00:49
Welcome back to the Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:00:52
Yep, that's us.
00:00:54
I'm Cassidy.
00:00:55
And I'm KD.
00:00:56
And we're here today to talk about Weapons.
00:01:01
It's our August new movie.
00:01:04
taking the world by storm.
00:01:06
Yeah.
00:01:10
and we're gonna tell you all about it.
00:01:13
Yeah.
00:01:14
Spoilers to come.
00:01:16
Go see it first.
00:01:19
Or don't.
00:01:21
Who's to say?
00:01:22
If you have no interest in seeing it, stick around, I guess.
00:01:27
Yeah.
00:01:28
But first, news.
00:01:31
News, horror news?
00:01:34
I'll kick us off with a terrible one.
00:01:36
Terrible news and then.
00:01:38
Yeah, it's terrible and then I'll.
00:01:42
Round it out with some really great news.
00:01:44
Comedian Matt Rife, the fucking cube shaped comedian who whose entire repertoire is made up of repertoire repertoire.
00:01:58
Why did I say repertoire?
00:02:00
don't know.
00:02:01
Anyway, all of his jokes are DV.
00:02:02
He sucks.
00:02:03
He's so stupid.
00:02:04
Not all of them, but he does do, yeah.
00:02:08
He does, yeah.
00:02:08
Yeah.
00:02:09
somehow he's still relevant.
00:02:10
Anyway, he purchased Ed and Lorraine's, Ed and Lorraine Warren's house.
00:02:15
This is a disaster.
00:02:16
I'm doing really great.
00:02:18
You're honestly nailing it.
00:02:19
I'm enthralled.
00:02:21
Thank you.
00:02:21
He bought their house and a cult museum and now he's the legal guardian of Annabelle.
00:02:28
He wants to turn all of that into a one of a kind ghost hunting experience.
00:02:35
Fine, whatever.
00:02:36
I'm disappointed in Lorraine's estate that they would like sell to him.
00:02:41
I don't know.
00:02:41
I don't know.
00:02:42
I just, I've got a sour taste in my mouth about the franchise now, which is a shame because we saw the trailer yesterday before.
00:02:50
actually think that this is entirely in line with who the Warrens were.
00:02:55
Yeah, well, because I think they're grifters and Ed Warren, like, famously groomed a child and had an affair with her.
00:03:03
I think he seems like he would love Matt, right?
00:03:07
Yeah, that was in the contract to make the Conjuring series.
00:03:11
Lorraine was like, you can't include anything about an affair.
00:03:17
So I think they're kind of sleazy people.
00:03:20
Makes sense.
00:03:21
He seems like a befitting...
00:03:24
owner?
00:03:25
Yeah, heir, heir to the to the to the estate.
00:03:32
Okay, that's fair.
00:03:33
That makes me feel a little better.
00:03:36
Weirdly.
00:03:38
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:39
I'm not going to lie when you said I have Matt Reif news, I had forgotten all about that because his new controversy is like the whole elf cosmetics thing.
00:03:48
And I was like, how is she going to tie this into horror?
00:03:51
yeah, I mean we just haven't done news since all this.
00:03:54
This was announced at the beginning of August and we played a game last week.
00:03:58
Yeah, we haven't covered it yet.
00:04:00
Yeah, and it's also like weirdly not covered as much as you would expect that kind of thing to be.
00:04:07
Almost makes me feel like it could be fake news, but he did post about it, so it's on his Instagram.
00:04:13
I saw too many people posting about, not too many, like it was everywhere, but too many actual news sites posting about it for it to be fake.
00:04:22
But yeah, I didn't get that much hype, especially, is weird because the new movie's coming out, so you'd think anything about the Warrens would be big news.
00:04:35
Yeah, yeah, That trailer scared the shit out of me.
00:04:40
yeah, the new, the new conjuring one.
00:04:44
Yeah, it's the first I'd seen it was yesterday when we watched weapons.
00:04:49
Yeah.
00:04:50
I'm sorry that happened to you.
00:04:52
don't like things on the ceiling, you know?
00:04:54
So you loved this movie then?
00:04:56
What happens is great.
00:05:00
That's funny.
00:05:02
All right, well, my turn.
00:05:06
The Toxic Avenger.
00:05:08
It originally played on the festival scene two years ago, and I think they've played it a few other times since then.
00:05:15
But what has screened for people is it's always been the cut down rated R version, not the unrated version.
00:05:23
Nobody's seen that version yet, but it is set to release in theaters later this month, the unrated version.
00:05:30
And now there's reports that theaters are getting cold feet.
00:05:34
no.
00:05:35
because there's a scene that shows Toxy's penis, which multiple articles have called his monster dong.
00:05:44
So...
00:05:46
It's making theaters nervous.
00:05:48
But filmmakers have said they were also nervous about putting, you know, like movies like Terrifier 2 and 3 in the theaters and that they did well, so shouldn't deter them too
00:05:58
much.
00:05:58
If I'm honest, this news kind of feels like just a marketing ploy.
00:06:05
Like, it's already set to be in theaters in like two weeks, so you're not pulling it.
00:06:10
Don't act like that.
00:06:11
You've already agreed.
00:06:13
I feel like it's just to like drum up
00:06:15
excitement about how crazy the movie is going to be, you know?
00:06:19
Yeah, people are gonna be, they're gonna wanna see the monster dong.
00:06:23
Yeah, you gotta get tickets to see the Monster Dong in IMAX.
00:06:27
yeah, it almost got banned from theaters.
00:06:29
That's how bad it is.
00:06:30
I can't wait to see it.
00:06:32
Yep.
00:06:33
Yeah.
00:06:34
This reminds me of,
00:06:37
Well, I don't know, yes.
00:06:40
No.
00:06:41
God, what is his name?
00:06:42
It's embarrassing.
00:06:44
He's like one of my favorite actors.
00:06:46
from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Matilda.
00:06:49
Danny DeVito.
00:06:50
Thank you.
00:06:51
Yeah, Danny DeVito.
00:06:53
Have you seen It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
00:06:56
Yes, not all of it, but some of it.
00:07:02
The monster dong.
00:07:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:06
condom for my magnum dong.
00:07:09
Mm-hmm.
00:07:10
Mm-hmm.
00:07:11
Yeah.
00:07:11
That's what all those articles reminded me of.
00:07:13
Because literally they all say monster dong, which is almost even more proof that that is planted by the production company.
00:07:23
Yep.
00:07:24
Yep.
00:07:25
Yeah, they wouldn't all call it that.
00:07:27
no.
00:07:29
Anyway, okay, better news for me.
00:07:31
Not better than your news, better than my first news.
00:07:34
And honestly,
00:07:36
No, actually, tell us in the comments after whose news ranked the news in order of best to worst.
00:07:44
shoot.
00:07:46
Okay, so my good news.
00:07:47
The Philadelphia Film Society held the first annual The Black Girl Lives Festival, which celebrated black women in horror and aims to retire the black character dies first trope
00:07:57
and the underutilization of black women in horror.
00:07:59
They showed four short films written by, directed by, or starring black women.
00:08:04
They had a vendor fair of local black vendors, including tarot card readers and...
00:08:09
other sort of like spooky and occult vendors, super fun.
00:08:11
And then they had fireside chats with all the teams before the films.
00:08:16
And the event producer said they're already looking forward to expanding the event next year.
00:08:21
That's really exciting.
00:08:22
Yeah, super fun.
00:08:24
I hope it's more of like a national thing next year.
00:08:27
Yeah, that'd be cool.
00:08:29
That was actually the news article that I had open when I messaged you saying, what's your news?
00:08:34
Because I was like, oh, maybe she's doing this one because it's really cool.
00:08:38
Of course you had sniped it out from under me.
00:08:41
Yes.
00:08:42
Yes, yes.
00:08:45
But yeah, that's awesome.
00:08:46
Yeah, I'm excited for, I think all four of the shorts are available.
00:08:52
I could be wrong.
00:08:53
Whatever shorts are available, we'll link in the comments.
00:08:55
I mean, in the description.
00:08:56
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:57
I want to watch him.
00:08:58
Mm-hmm.
00:09:00
All right, last news from me.
00:09:02
We know that Scary Movie 6 is happening, it's already been announced.
00:09:05
We already know the Wayans brothers are coming back, thank God.
00:09:10
We did, yes, it's currently set to come out in June of next year.
00:09:14
Deadline recently confirmed that Anna Faris and Regina Hall are going to be coming back as well to...
00:09:23
revive their roles as Cindy and Brenda.
00:09:27
So I think after the Wayans brothers were confirmed, this was what everybody was waiting to hear.
00:09:32
It's like, is the whole gang getting back together or?
00:09:36
Cause yeah, it kind of fell apart after the Wayans left and then those two left too.
00:09:41
And it was like, okay, there's no saving this now.
00:09:44
But Ferris and Hall provided a joint statement saying, we can't wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life.
00:09:51
and be reunited with our great friends Keenan, Sean, and Marlon, three men we'd literally die for in Brenda's case again.
00:09:59
Yeah, very cute.
00:10:01
It makes me more excited.
00:10:02
I'm more willing to give it a chance now that everybody's back.
00:10:05
yeah.
00:10:07
And maybe as it gets closer, we should start like a pool of what movies we think they're going to make fun of because I feel like they will tackle like the new age stuff, like
00:10:16
Barbarian and and like all the, you know what I mean?
00:10:20
gonna definitely see like hereditary.
00:10:24
I feel like some of them might be a little bit more difficult to do.
00:10:29
Like Barbarian is kind of funny.
00:10:32
So it'd be harder to do that.
00:10:34
And they talked about that.
00:10:36
We should actually do, we should have a marathon.
00:10:38
But they talked about that when making the first one, because they were parodying Scream.
00:10:44
And they'd write jokes and...
00:10:46
they'd be like, wait, no, Scream already made that joke because Scream was so self-aware, but yeah, I'm excited.
00:10:53
Yeah.
00:10:54
Well, stay tuned for our pool of movies.
00:10:58
I'm excited, that'll be fun.
00:11:01
Cool, well, shall we get into it?
00:11:05
Yes.
00:11:07
Okay, Weapons.
00:11:08
I'll just give you a little overview.
00:11:10
Weapons is a 2025 horror mystery written, directed, co-produced and co-composed by Zach Cregger of Barbarian fame.
00:11:18
Speaking of, it released on August 8th of this year, just a couple short weeks ago, and has already grossed $116 million at the global box office on a $38 million budget.
00:11:29
It stars Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Benedict Wong, Amy Madigan and Austin Abrams.
00:11:34
quick summary.
00:11:35
When all but one child from the same third grade classroom mysteriously vanishes on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind
00:11:44
their disappearance.
00:11:45
It has a 7.9 out of 10 on IMDb, a 3.8 on Letterboxd, and a 94 % critic score and 86 % audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:12:00
People love it.
00:12:01
They do.
00:12:02
They really do.
00:12:02
3.8 seems low for a letterbox.
00:12:05
I feel like all the pretentious people really like this one too.
00:12:08
So like it would be weird for letterbox to have anything less than like a four.
00:12:13
I'm surprised by that.
00:12:14
see movies that are four and above.
00:12:17
I know, that's what I mean.
00:12:19
Yeah.
00:12:20
this be one of them?
00:12:22
Who's to say, not me?
00:12:24
Yeah.
00:12:25
I haven't rated it on letterboxd yet, so I haven't contributed to the scoring.
00:12:31
Maybe if we do, that'll change it.
00:12:34
Maybe.
00:12:35
In what way?
00:12:36
Stick around to find out.
00:12:40
I'm gonna drag it low, I'm gonna drag it so, no I'm just kidding.
00:12:45
Zero, because of my rating.
00:12:49
No, I think the lowest rating you can give is half.
00:12:52
Which I have done.
00:12:52
And I'll do it again.
00:12:56
What'd you rate it at half?
00:12:58
Good luck, Chuck.
00:13:00
No.
00:13:01
Half a star?
00:13:02
I rated like a film that was made entirely out of AI.
00:13:06
And then, I'm pretty sure I gave Half a Star the third Conjuring movie.
00:13:14
I hate it so much.
00:13:16
I hate, I can't, I can't even pretend to like that movie.
00:13:20
I hate it.
00:13:21
I'm sorry.
00:13:23
Okay, no, I don't judge.
00:13:26
I can't even think of a movie I hate enough to put give a point.
00:13:28
Well, Terrifier.
00:13:30
There you go, yeah.
00:13:33
I had no idea Josh Brolin was in this.
00:13:37
And then his first scene, like he's like blurred, you know, you can't really see him and it just his voice or whatever.
00:13:42
I was like, oh my God, that sounds like Josh Brolin.
00:13:44
Wouldn't that be funny if he was in this?
00:13:46
And he was.
00:13:48
Yeah, I like him.
00:13:50
Yeah, he was really good in this.
00:13:52
Everybody was.
00:13:54
Wasn't a bad performance there.
00:13:57
I was especially impressed with...
00:14:00
Amy Madigan.
00:14:02
Yes, not what I was gonna say.
00:14:05
I was gonna say, uh, Cary Christopher, who played Alex.
00:14:09
The little kid?
00:14:10
Yeah, he did good.
00:14:12
Yeah, he has long eyelashes.
00:14:14
throwing the water on his dad.
00:14:16
was so heartbreaking.
00:14:20
Yeah.
00:14:21
at portraying the confusion that was probably being felt.
00:14:27
Yeah.
00:14:28
How was your theater experience?
00:14:31
It was good.
00:14:31
It wasn't very full because I went to a showing early in the day on a Friday.
00:14:37
So was like most people were at work.
00:14:39
Yeah.
00:14:41
But I my favorite part was.
00:14:47
Justine falls asleep in the car and the door opens and the mom comes at her.
00:14:54
Because at first, she comes over, stops, and then just walks out of frame.
00:14:58
And there was just nervous laughter in the theater.
00:15:01
And then as soon as you heard the car door open, there was a woman a few rows in front of me who just goes, no.
00:15:12
Yeah, same experience.
00:15:14
We had a pretty full theater, which I was really happy about because that just totally added to it.
00:15:22
The scene where, oh, shoot, uh there's so many characters that I'm supposed to remember their names.
00:15:28
I don't remember.
00:15:30
The addict.
00:15:32
Oh, okay.
00:15:33
James?
00:15:40
Yes, Austin Abrams where he runs and like dives into his into his tent and zips it and then that's opening and he stabs the police officer in the face.
00:15:52
The guy sitting like two seats to my right had to get up and take laps after that.
00:15:57
He was like, he was like, oh shit.
00:16:01
Yeah, between this movie this year and Oddity last year, I'm never gonna get a tent again.
00:16:07
It's just not happening.
00:16:09
I'm so sorry.
00:16:11
It reaffirms my hatred for camping.
00:16:14
I shan't be doing that.
00:16:16
Yes, I agree.
00:16:17
And I thought of oddity then too.
00:16:19
That's the oddity tent scene is like one of the most effective jump scares ever.
00:16:25
I agree, especially in the past like 10 years.
00:16:29
I think if you ask me the best jump scares, it would be that and...Haunting of Hill House.
00:16:36
Hill House.
00:16:37
When she comes through the middle of the car.
00:16:39
Absolutely.
00:16:40
Those two scenes shit my pants.
00:16:43
yeah, this movie though, this movie too, when she lays back in bed, that got me, yeah.
00:16:50
I mean, I don't like ceiling stuff.
00:16:52
I hate ceiling stuff.
00:16:54
But that was just a really good jump scare too.
00:16:57
It was, yeah.
00:16:58
I think this movie did a good job of balancing fake outs versus actual jump scares.
00:17:04
Because like the first two times she peeks through something, nothing happens.
00:17:10
So by the time she gets to the house and she's looking through the newspaper and sees the couple sitting there, then by then I'm like, okay, nothing's gonna happen.
00:17:19
Nothing happened the first few times.
00:17:23
and then it did, it did happen.
00:17:25
I have what might be a killer cuties first.
00:17:29
An exclusive fun fact.
00:17:32
I'm so excited.
00:17:33
I hope you say a fun fact that like I saw everywhere and you just didn't see.
00:17:39
No.
00:17:40
Okay, I'm so excited.
00:17:41
What's your exclusive Killer Cuties fun fact?
00:17:44
Okay, in Miss Gandy's classroom on the back wall, there's a board about whales.
00:17:53
Mm-hmm.
00:17:56
It has the two cetacean parvorders or their systematic names on it.
00:18:03
Those are Adontoceti and Mystoceti.
00:18:06
Adontoceti is toothed whales, Mystoceti is baleen whales, right?
00:18:10
But it misspells Adontoceti.
00:18:14
They missed an O, they just put Adontoceti.
00:18:18
Wow.
00:18:20
Killer Cuties exclusive.
00:18:22
You won't get that kind of fun fact anywhere else.
00:18:25
uh
00:18:27
It really bothered me.
00:18:32
That's, yeah, I think that is maybe something you and four other people in the entire world noticed.
00:18:40
Yes.
00:18:41
And we're all naturalists for the American Censation Society.
00:18:45
I guarantee it.
00:18:45
Mm-hmm.
00:18:50
what grade are these kids?
00:18:51
They're like 10, right?
00:18:53
Third grade, okay.
00:18:54
And in that case, like you just have a general teacher who teaches you like everything.
00:19:00
Because for a second I was like, what does she teach?
00:19:04
Because they're learning about parasites, there's whales in the background, she's learning that they're learning how to read clocks, but that makes more sense.
00:19:12
You don't have specialized teachers anymore.
00:19:14
It's just the one.
00:19:16
I mean, the first two things you said were both part of science, but then clocks.
00:19:23
relevant to the plot.
00:19:25
It's obviously clocks and...
00:19:28
Time and parasites were two themes throughout.
00:19:32
Yeah, for a minute there, I thought we were getting a zombie movie.
00:19:36
Like, a la Last of Us, because they use the same, like, cordyceps.
00:19:41
Yep.
00:19:42
When the Marcus and his husband were watching TV, it was about quarter steps.
00:19:48
the ants being taken over or whatever, which I want to say that that like exact.
00:19:56
Maybe not.
00:19:57
It kind of looked AI.
00:19:59
But that same vibe happened in Last of Us where they're like, look at this video of ants being taken over by cordyceps.
00:20:07
That's what's happening to people.
00:20:09
Mmm.
00:20:11
So it was reasonable to assume zombie and it kind of was zombie sort of we, I mean, they didn't really die or be reanimated.
00:20:19
Nevermind.
00:20:21
Infection-y.
00:20:23
Sorta, yeah.
00:20:25
It's almost like it was witchcraft.
00:20:29
Guess it was.
00:20:31
witchcraft.
00:20:33
I think I had already decided it was witchcraft because they kept showing her car that said witch.
00:20:39
So I was like, okay.
00:20:40
It's obviously like, they're trying to just get us in that mindset of that's what's going to happen.
00:20:47
Were there any other parasite scenes I'm trying to remember?
00:20:51
I feel like those were the two.
00:20:53
obvious references to parasites.
00:20:55
Yeah, them learning about them and the TV.
00:20:59
Yeah.
00:21:01
And then there was the time, of course.
00:21:03
2.17, should we get into that?
00:21:05
Yeah.
00:21:07
What does it mean?
00:21:09
Well, kind of up for interpretation, I think.
00:21:13
They did kind of to capitalize on that.
00:21:15
had theater showtimes that were at 2 17 to push that a little bit.
00:21:21
Kind of fun.
00:21:22
Yeah, that was fun.
00:21:23
And then I think Cregger said that there were two meanings, but it's also not really plot relevant in his mind.
00:21:34
I think what happened is that Cregger made a film.
00:21:38
And he made it about a specific thing.
00:21:41
And then everybody who watched it was like, I think it's also about this other thing.
00:21:46
He was like, I don't think that's what it's about, but sure.
00:21:48
Yeah, you can think that.
00:21:51
So to clarify, Cregger has said, well, a he's a part, he was a part of the whitest kids, you know, which was comedy trope that got turned into a TV series of sketch comedy.
00:22:02
And his friend, Trevor Moore, was also in that troupe.
00:22:06
And this movie.
00:22:07
is basically a tribute to Moore, who passed away in 2021.
00:22:12
So it's, yeah, the whole movie is kind of a tribute to him.
00:22:17
Specifically, the seven hot dogs that the couple shares is a direct reference to one of their sketches.
00:22:24
Mm-hmm.
00:22:26
But he also said, Cregger, that the ending specifically is about...
00:22:32
the dynamic of children who have alcoholic parents and how that inversion of care happens.
00:22:39
So while he's fine with people, you know, having different interpretations of the movie, that was what he intended it to be about was, which I think makes sense.
00:22:49
It's very like that parasitic, like this substance is introduced and all of a sudden like you lose a big part of you.
00:22:55
And I think it's pretty well themed throughout too.
00:22:58
I mean, obviously Justine is an addict.
00:23:01
Paul is an addict who she has, through her influence, he kind of relapses.
00:23:06
Obviously James's character is an addict.
00:23:08
Mm-hmm.
00:23:09
addiction is a huge theme throughout it.
00:23:12
However, a lot of people, I think fairly, have seen parallels to school shootings.
00:23:21
I didn't see that at all.
00:23:23
didn't either while watching it and then afterwards I was seeing everybody talk about it and I was like oh okay that does kind of make sense.
00:23:34
Obviously like there's the huge assault rifle in the sky which Cregger's said came to him in a dream so I don't think that really carried the meaning that people are seeing but
00:23:44
they're seeing you know assault rifles and then obviously
00:23:49
teachers being blamed, police not doing their jobs, angry parents, principals trying to wrap everything up and like, you know, deal with that onslaught.
00:24:00
And then with 217 specifically, a lot of people have found meaning through that as well.
00:24:11
So the original script says that it takes place around Valentine's Day.
00:24:17
which the Parkland shooting happened on Valentine's Day.
00:24:20
There were 17 people who died that day.
00:24:23
The assault rifle ban in 2022 tried to pass.
00:24:26
The house got 217 votes, but it failed in the Senate.
00:24:31
So yeah, there were some things like that where people were definitely finding connections, which I can understand.
00:24:39
Weird.
00:24:40
Yeah, I didn't think of it that way.
00:24:43
I didn't either.
00:24:44
But after people were talking about it, I was like, that makes sense.
00:24:48
Although a lot of people were claiming like that is definitively what it's about.
00:24:53
I saw a lot of other people being like, no, Cregger specifically said that wasn't his intention at all.
00:24:59
But I think art is art is meant to be interpreted.
00:25:05
You can find different meanings.
00:25:07
Yeah, you mentioned that the rifle in Archer's dream em came to him in a dream.
00:25:15
It was through transcendental meditation.
00:25:18
It was.
00:25:19
which is how Vanessa Hudgens met her husband.
00:25:22
Fun fact, another Killer Cuties exclusive.
00:25:28
But he also cited David Lynch as a key influence, which it was, like that was Lynchian.
00:25:34
It just, yeah.
00:25:37
Which I also, people were so confused by that.
00:25:40
I saw a lot of people referencing that as like a plot hole.
00:25:45
And I was like, well, that's not a plot hole.
00:25:46
That's, it's a dream.
00:25:48
So weird things are happening in dreams.
00:25:52
Also, I'm pretty sure there's a poster in the room with a gun on it, which kind of coincide right where he falls asleep.
00:25:59
So it makes sense that that would kind of appear in his dream.
00:26:02
Also people have pointed out that was.
00:26:04
maybe how he figured out that the kids were running in a straight line like a bullet.
00:26:08
So like, then he started mapping their trajectories based on that dream.
00:26:15
Obviously then there's
00:26:17
the theme of the kids being used as weapons, a weapon, weapons.
00:26:24
the only person too in the movie that says the word weapon.
00:26:29
If I remember correctly, he's the first one to say it definitely.
00:26:32
He says weapon, like they're being used as weapons.
00:26:36
Mm.
00:26:38
Were you sad that the weapon wasn't a nuke?
00:26:41
Well, yeah.
00:26:43
Yeah, I'm sorry that happened to you.
00:26:45
Yeah.
00:26:47
A little bit more, yeah.
00:26:50
Yeah, that's okay.
00:26:52
Also real quick, two things I forgot about the 217 thing.
00:26:55
One, two people left in the classroom, 17 went missing.
00:26:59
217, that's actually more of like a direct reference.
00:27:03
And then also, Cregger said in an interview that he, that was just his first instinct.
00:27:11
And that then he thought about the shining, which the room is 237.
00:27:16
And he thought about changing it to 237, just to kind of reference that.
00:27:20
But he said,
00:27:21
I wanted to stick with my first instinct, so he kept it to 17.
00:27:25
Well, I mean, if you really think about it, the time that they show first is 2.15.
00:27:34
Yeah.
00:27:35
2.15 is when Gladys wakes up Alex, he comes downstairs, and then 2.17 is when she snaps the stick.
00:27:42
right when she actually initiates them leaving.
00:27:45
Yeah, so really what we have to think about is why did he pick 215?
00:27:51
Because it just took her two minutes to do the stick.
00:27:55
Yeah, that's the big brain way of thinking of it.
00:27:59
It's not about 270.
00:28:02
It's about 250.
00:28:04
Yep.
00:28:06
I guess in one interview, Cregger was saying that there was a lot of comedy that he had a lot more comedy that he had added.
00:28:15
And he promised himself, I guess, that if the comedy didn't elicit laughs from test audiences, he would just take that out.
00:28:22
He wanted the humor to really come from authentic reactions and not be forced or like his own brand of humor.
00:28:31
So if anything happened in the test screen where they didn't laugh, he took it out.
00:28:36
which is a huge bummer because I want his humor.
00:28:40
You know, like I want, I would not, like I'd sit through a three hour cut of this.
00:28:45
That was just his jokes.
00:28:49
Yeah, just to experience how he originally thought it should be.
00:28:53
I mean, I get pandering to your audiences, but also like you got to stick to your art.
00:28:59
Yeah, I think there's also a line though of like, is this actually funny or do I just think it's funny?
00:29:06
But like I wanna know what he thinks is funny.
00:29:09
I don't wanna know what everybody thinks is funny.
00:29:11
I wanna know, I mean I do, but I also wanna know what he thinks is funny.
00:29:15
Okay.
00:29:17
Super macabre.
00:29:19
I know we were just talking about comedy.
00:29:21
Yeah, hard switch.
00:29:23
I like it.
00:29:24
Somebody, I don't know if it was Zach Cregger or if it was just somebody on the internet, but somebody compared the way that the children run to that pickage, pickage?
00:29:33
Pickage.
00:29:34
The pickage.
00:29:38
picture image is how I got there.
00:29:40
The picture of um a child running away from a bomb in Vietnam and how her arms are sort of like weirdly outstretched.
00:29:52
um It's called Napalm Girl or the Terror of War.
00:29:58
I had never seen that image before.
00:29:59
I don't recommend seeing it because you won't be able to unsee it.
00:30:03
It's terrible.
00:30:05
And I would like to think that they're not taking inspiration from that for a comedic horror film, but there's it's related.
00:30:15
It definitely they look similar.
00:30:18
It is, it was in the original script.
00:30:21
Yes, so.
00:30:24
that is where they got the idea from it.
00:30:28
It also, I'm pretty sure in the original script says, arms outstretched in a downward V, like someone holding heavy bags.
00:30:36
And then it says, like that photo.
00:30:39
So don't know, well, yeah, I guess it doesn't, I don't know if that was the inspiration or if that was just a relevant image that they could pull from to show what they meant.
00:30:50
But.
00:30:51
they had it nailed when they said arms in a V holding heavy bags like that.
00:30:57
That was all they needed.
00:30:58
They didn't need to pull back an absolutely gut-wrenching image of historical gravity.
00:31:07
Yeah.
00:31:08
I mean, I don't think they meant...
00:31:10
He's also said in interviews that he didn't mean for it to be...
00:31:13
That it wasn't supposed to be comedic.
00:31:15
It was supposed to be scary.
00:31:17
So I don't think they were trying to like make fun of that in any way, shape, or form.
00:31:26
other inspirations.
00:31:28
Mm-hmm.
00:31:30
Cregger has said if there's three movies that inspired weapons, would be Magnolia, Prisoners, and Hereditary.
00:31:38
Which, I've seen two, I haven't seen Magnolia.
00:31:46
I know that Magnolia is the like multiple.
00:31:49
Yeah, yeah, The like chapters for each character.
00:31:54
Right, it inspired the structure.
00:31:56
I know that much about Magnolia as well.
00:31:57
I have seen Prisoners in Hereditary.
00:31:59
I can definitely see their influence in it.
00:32:01
You should watch Prisoners.
00:32:03
It's so good.
00:32:04
It's like two little girls go missing and it's like the dads trying to find them.
00:32:10
It's Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Hugh Jackman.
00:32:15
No.
00:32:17
Yeah.
00:32:18
I wouldn't consider it horror.
00:32:21
More like a mystery thriller.
00:32:24
But you should still watch it, it's very good.
00:32:26
Sure.
00:32:28
And then in another interview, someone said that it kind of reminded them of Stephen King, and Cregger said that maybe subconsciously that was in his mind because he remembers when
00:32:39
he was a kid and watching the trailer for Needful Things, which is a Stephen King adaptation.
00:32:44
And he said, the more I thought about it, the more I think that that was kind of a subconscious influence on it because when he watched it as a kid, he was like, this is
00:32:52
about this town just
00:32:54
absolutely imploding because of a mystery that they can't solve.
00:32:58
And so that's obviously kind of what's happening here too.
00:33:02
Yeah.
00:33:05
There were also lots of Pied Piper vibes.
00:33:10
People were drawing a lot of parallels there.
00:33:12
Obviously the children are led away by a mysterious force and that force is malevolent.
00:33:19
Their parents are obviously distraught by that.
00:33:22
Very sort of like similar.
00:33:25
Mm-hmm.
00:33:26
and I guess in the Pied Piper, I didn't know this about the Pied Piper, but one of the victims ends up killing the witch also in the Pied Piper.
00:33:36
And in this one, they all kill her.
00:33:39
Yeah, that was great.
00:33:42
Yeah.
00:33:43
I didn't know that this was body horror.
00:33:46
I don't remember Barbarian having any like super big body horror stuff, but this...
00:33:53
this body horror gory, but...
00:33:57
not the like extended scene of shaving somebody's face off or.
00:34:02
No, that's just gore.
00:34:03
Body horror is when your body is transforming into something scary.
00:34:09
So like the fly, that's body horror.
00:34:13
See, I wouldn't call the fly body horror because it's like...
00:34:16
I don't think you have the correct definition of body horror.
00:34:21
Body horror is not just gore.
00:34:23
It's when the horror is about your own body, like transforming or becoming something monstrous.
00:34:31
It's not just gore.
00:34:33
Gore is just gore.
00:34:35
Okay.
00:34:36
It's like camp all over again.
00:34:38
Yeah, learning something new.
00:34:42
Yeah, so like Toxic Avenger is probably body horror because he gets transformed into the Toxic Avenger.
00:34:48
The fly, the substance, transformation of the body.
00:34:55
Okay.
00:34:55
Yeah.
00:34:57
But this was just gore.
00:35:00
Maybe if the witch had like transformed a little bit more, like something had like happened to her, then maybe?
00:35:07
But yeah.
00:35:11
Either way, I wasn't expecting that.
00:35:16
It was fun.
00:35:17
We had a great time.
00:35:18
The whole theater, giggling, kicking our feet.
00:35:21
Yeah.
00:35:23
Her running, way funnier than it needed to be.
00:35:27
The whole ending scene was very funny.
00:35:30
Yes.
00:35:32
They also said it took four days to shoot that.
00:35:37
And Cregger said, he's very, very into planning everything out.
00:35:42
So he said that was the most planning he had to do was timing everything and making sure everything was shot correctly and moved well.
00:35:52
he said trying to corral that many kids to actually do what he wanted them to do was very difficult.
00:35:59
can only imagine.
00:36:00
Yeah, he said he had like nightmares about it afterwards, but it worked out well.
00:36:06
Yeah.
00:36:08
They had, what was it, like 176 kids, more than 170 children on site on the busiest days of filming.
00:36:20
And they obviously had like child labor coordinators.
00:36:22
Everybody was keeping the kids engaged while there wasn't filming actually happening.
00:36:28
Big production, lots of kids.
00:36:29
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure all those school scenes, you gotta have a lot of little ones running around.
00:36:36
Mm-hmm.
00:36:37
Extras.
00:36:39
Yeah.
00:36:40
some casting fun facts.
00:36:43
Rooney Mara and Elizabeth Olsen were both offered the role of Justine?
00:36:49
Is that her name?
00:36:51
Justine?
00:36:52
They both had to turn it down and then Pedro Pascal was also originally cast, but ultimately had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.
00:37:01
And annoyingly, he had to drop out because he was starring in the Fantastic Four First Steps, which Julia Garner is also in.
00:37:09
And she didn't have to drop out.
00:37:12
And she was the main character on this movie and a pretty main character in Fantastic Four.
00:37:16
Yeah, I haven't seen Fantastic Four, so I don't know how much she was in it.
00:37:20
I mean, she's like the big bad or she's a big bad.
00:37:24
Yeah.
00:37:25
Sometimes though the villain's not in a lot of scenes, they just have a big impact.
00:37:30
I, someone who's seen it, let me know.
00:37:33
Cause I could see he's in every scene basically.
00:37:36
So him not being able to do it does make sense if that's the case.
00:37:41
Yeah, they just switched.
00:37:42
They switched.
00:37:43
She had the main role in this one and a side role in that one.
00:37:46
He would have, yeah, I get it.
00:37:48
I get it.
00:37:48
get it.
00:37:50
Well, an archer's a pretty big role in weapons, too.
00:37:55
I believe so, yeah.
00:37:56
I think he was supposed to play Josh Brolin's character, which means two big commitments rather than...
00:38:03
Yeah.
00:38:05
Yeah, no offense to Josh Brolin, but Josh Brolin portrays a unloving fatherly figure better than what I would imagine Pedro Pascal would.
00:38:13
I mean, not that Pedro Pascal couldn't do it, but I just imagine Josh Brolin as that person.
00:38:18
So not in real life.
00:38:21
Just like that's who he plays, you know?
00:38:24
Yeah, he's a little bit more...
00:38:28
He's good at playing the villain, yeah.
00:38:31
And not that Archer's the villain, but I think the point of this movie is that all of the characters are deeply flawed and they're like real people.
00:38:44
the cop, he was my least favorite.
00:38:47
This guy stinks.
00:38:49
seriously, I at one point found myself rooting for him and I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with me?
00:38:54
I never rooted for him.
00:38:56
that every time I saw someone complaining about plot holes, which by the way, every time they said there was a plot hole, it was just they weren't paying attention.
00:39:04
But not to say that this is like a perfectly mapped out movie.
00:39:08
Cregger himself has even said that he's found holes in it.
00:39:12
But because it's from everybody's perspective, he's like, well, they're just unreliable narrators.
00:39:17
So this is just their version of what happened.
00:39:20
And I think that makes sense.
00:39:21
Even in the opening monologue, she says like a lot of this has been lost because
00:39:25
nobody will document it, right?
00:39:27
But anyways, regardless.
00:39:30
The biggest plot hole this movie, no, the most, it's not a plot hole, the most unrealistic part of this movie is a cop punching someone and then being worried that he's gonna get
00:39:40
fired for it.
00:39:41
No, you're not, you're gonna get paid vacation and be fine.
00:39:44
m
00:39:45
especially being like sort of like pseudo son-in-law of the chief, like you're not worried about that.
00:39:52
Yeah.
00:39:53
not even a little bit.
00:39:54
Yeah, he's fine.
00:39:57
I was so worried, like it would have made sense.
00:40:00
I, it's probably was the intention was to get you worried about that.
00:40:04
I was so worried he was just gonna hit the, James with his car and then nobody would know that the kids were down there.
00:40:10
That's what I was worried about, which is like a very reasonable.
00:40:16
yeah, based on how he was acting.
00:40:19
Very realistic.
00:40:21
That was another that people were like, the biggest plot hole is that the police didn't figure any of this out themselves.
00:40:27
But they...
00:40:28
the most realistic part of this entire thing is that the cops didn't do their jobs.
00:40:32
But that's also, well, I do feel like cops and detectives are different species of people.
00:40:37
em I feel like detectives have it a little bit more together than cops do.
00:40:44
in a small town like this, they're all the same people.
00:40:47
Well, that was a specific plot point.
00:40:50
He even said, I'm not a detective, I'm a cop, which is a thing.
00:40:56
they also had that whole scene of Gladys making Alex clean the house and make sure that they were covering up their tracks.
00:41:03
So they were throwing them off.
00:41:06
I saw so many people say, they never even checked Alex's house.
00:41:10
Were you not watching the movie?
00:41:13
I swear people watch this with their fucking eyes closed.
00:41:16
Oh, I saw people, yes, I saw people saying, well, you're telling me the cops never checked the ring cameras?
00:41:23
They did, they said they did.
00:41:25
That is a whole thing that happens.
00:41:29
Well,
00:41:30
it to us on screen.
00:41:33
I guess that's true.
00:41:34
point was like, you're telling me this guy did it, but the cops did it.
00:41:37
And they did.
00:41:39
Archer said, I know the cops have already seen the footage.
00:41:43
Two, yeah, which by the way, fun little cameo from the two main characters, not main characters, but two characters from Barbarian.
00:41:51
That was fun.
00:41:52
Yes, Justin Long and Sarah Paxton have a little cameo.
00:41:57
Yeah, that was fun.
00:41:58
Which by the way, I realized I was dodging spoilers for this movie like nobody's business.
00:42:03
I realized I did see a spoiler.
00:42:04
I just didn't know it was for weapons.
00:42:07
What was it her saying that she's in the movie?
00:42:10
No, was someone had posted a picture of Justin Long and was like, congrats to Justin Long for finally surviving a horror movie.
00:42:18
And I was like, I remember thinking, is this weapons?
00:42:22
But then I was like, I don't think he's in it though, because I didn't see his casting anywhere.
00:42:25
So as soon as he appeared on screen, I was like, it is.
00:42:29
So I knew he lived, but they never get shown again.
00:42:31
So it didn't really spoil much.
00:42:33
Yeah, the person that I went to see the movie with hadn't seen Barbarian.
00:42:37
So when he popped up on screen, I was like, oh my God, look who it is.
00:42:40
And she's like, don't know what's the significance of this.
00:42:43
Like, are you excited?
00:42:44
So then I had to explain after the movie.
00:42:46
not know who Justin Long is though?
00:42:49
okay.
00:42:49
I was like, that's still like a fun cameo.
00:42:53
Has she not seen aquamarine?
00:42:55
Is she not?
00:42:58
Well, hopefully not.
00:43:01
I love Tusk.
00:43:04
Yeah, I figured it didn't surprise me that Sarah Paxton had a cameo though, because that's his wife, right?
00:43:12
Zach Cregger?
00:43:12
Oh, I didn't know that.
00:43:13
That's fun.
00:43:14
You did, because we definitely talked about it on our episode of Barbarian, but yeah, that was a long time ago, so.
00:43:21
Yeah.
00:43:23
I didn't even remember that we had talked about Scary Movies, whatever, the Scary Movie reboot.
00:43:29
didn't, I was like, it would be so embarrassing if I brought this as my fun fact or as my news and we had already talked about it and I didn't know.
00:43:37
So I literally went through our YouTube videos to double check, make sure that we, and sure enough, we had talked about it.
00:43:46
So I was like, I'm not going to do this one.
00:43:48
That's funny.
00:43:49
And then I did it.
00:43:52
Yeah.
00:43:52
Well, because it's new news.
00:43:54
Mm-hmm.
00:43:56
Also, like, casting adjacent.
00:43:58
I was trying to remember where I knew Amy Madigan from.
00:44:02
I think it's Grey's Anatomy, but I feel like there's, like, a very...
00:44:06
I remember when were watching Saw 5 and I saw that one guy and I could not figure out what he's from.
00:44:11
And he's just, like, from everything.
00:44:13
That's sort of Amy Madigan also.
00:44:15
Yeah.
00:44:17
She's just like in everything.
00:44:19
She's an Oscar winner.
00:44:21
She is.
00:44:21
What did she win in Oscar for?
00:44:22
What's it called?
00:44:23
She won Best Supporting Actress for a movie called Twice in a Lifetime, which, yeah, I've never heard of that either.
00:44:31
But apparently, she killed it in it.
00:44:36
I was gonna guess Field of Dreams, because I know that's a popular one that she did, but that, I think that was nominated for Best Picture, but it didn't win.
00:44:46
Yeah, she's been in a lot though.
00:44:49
The original screenplay is online.
00:44:51
You can read it.
00:44:53
I did read through some of it, which is how I knew that the napalm picture was referenced in it.
00:44:59
Yes.
00:45:00
Killer Cuties exclusive fact.
00:45:02
No.
00:45:05
A lot of people online have read it as well.
00:45:09
But there were some changes.
00:45:10
James's character was originally called Anthony.
00:45:12
Marcus's was called Andrew.
00:45:15
The ending is different.
00:45:17
In the end, there's no voiceover.
00:45:20
It just ends with it zooming in on Archer holding his son, who's still clearly catatonic.
00:45:27
Test audiences did not like that.
00:45:30
They were like, it can't end like that.
00:45:32
So they added in the more hopeful ending of that eventually the kids started talking again.
00:45:40
So a little bit more bleak, not surprising.
00:45:42
America loves...
00:45:43
to change bleak endings into a little bit happier ones.
00:45:48
And then...
00:45:50
There was an interview with io9 where somebody said that there was originally going to be a Gladys portion.
00:45:59
That's not I don't I didn't see that in the original script.
00:46:02
So maybe that was just something they talked about while doing the movie.
00:46:05
It was just supposed to be her backstory,
00:46:07
I think so, yeah.
00:46:08
um They decided to cut that.
00:46:12
A lot of people want a backstory for her.
00:46:14
I kind of like it that it's a little bit of a mystery, but...
00:46:18
I was disappointed.
00:46:19
I know it ended up being fake news, but I was disappointed to hear that there was supposed to be a prequel, which again, fake news.
00:46:25
It's not happening.
00:46:26
Well, we don't know.
00:46:27
It is in talks, but it has not been confirmed.
00:46:30
People are saying that the prequel is confirmed.
00:46:33
That's not true.
00:46:34
Amy Madigan herself has said, I'm not saying no, but anything could happen right now.
00:46:39
Like, that's not a confirmation.
00:46:41
I think...
00:46:43
Just like leave it as a standalone.
00:46:45
I know, I think everybody wants to make a franchise out of everything right now and I think there's just some movies that shouldn't.
00:46:52
It's not needed.
00:46:53
We got everything we needed from this and that's fine.
00:46:58
yeah, Cregger has proven that he excels in original ideas just with his two like just with the two movies with barbarian in this.
00:47:08
So if you're listening, Zach, to me, my advice, which weighs so much is to just do another original, please.
00:47:18
Cregger is just waiting to hear what we have to say about it before he signs on.
00:47:23
Well, and that's the thing too, he's already, so sorry to burst your bubble, his next project we already know, it's Resident Evil.
00:47:31
So not an original, but.
00:47:33
like it's, I mean, I don't expect him to only make originals, but you know.
00:47:41
that though, he does have another original already planned.
00:47:44
So he seems like he's gonna be busy.
00:47:46
So even if they did a prequel, to what extent he would be involved is kind of unknown.
00:47:52
So that's why it is very, very early.
00:47:54
It's basically New Line wants a prequel.
00:47:57
No clue if that's actually gonna happen or not.
00:47:59
Mm-hmm.
00:48:01
Yeah.
00:48:01
uh
00:48:02
But yeah, and then the other change that I saw was that...
00:48:06
It wasn't originally going to be a gay couple.
00:48:10
Marcus, which was Andrew in the original script, had a wife named Ginny.
00:48:15
And they were the couple.
00:48:17
and he like strangles her to death instead of bashing her head in.
00:48:23
That was the longest scene of my life, by the way.
00:48:25
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:29
It really did.
00:48:31
Anyways, no real reason on why that was changed.
00:48:36
Some people have speculated that it's because they didn't want like a really graphic display of kind of domestic violence.
00:48:47
However, then it's just, know, gay people dying.
00:48:50
it's like, it's still domestic violence,
00:48:53
100 % it still is, I think just because domestic violence is more often than not committed against women, it might have been a little bit more upsetting for people, but...
00:49:04
I don't know.
00:49:05
I have mixed feelings.
00:49:06
I think that's like my biggest complaint with this movie is that scene, so...
00:49:11
Yeah.
00:49:12
I'll talk about that more in my ratings, though.
00:49:15
Yeah.
00:49:19
But yeah, couple little changes there.
00:49:22
The with the children leaving their house, there's the song playing.
00:49:29
I took like multiple college courses specifically on the Beatles.
00:49:33
So I've heard like every Beatles song ever.
00:49:36
I know you don't like them.
00:49:37
know.
00:49:37
eh They're not, they're not for everyone.
00:49:40
Most people, but not everyone.
00:49:42
I'm not even sure that I like, I don't love them.
00:49:45
But anyway, eh I just, it was a easy humanities class.
00:49:51
Yeah, for sure.
00:49:51
two.
00:49:52
uh Anyway, I was like, my God, this sounds like The Beatles.
00:49:55
I hope this isn't like an AI Beatles song.
00:49:57
Like, what is happening?
00:49:59
No, it's Harrison.
00:50:00
Yeah, I was right.
00:50:02
Sort of.
00:50:02
It was George Harrison from his solo album.
00:50:05
It wasn't AI, let's clear that up.
00:50:10
Yes, you are not right that it was AI.
00:50:12
It is someone from the Beatles song.
00:50:15
Yeah.
00:50:18
and it's called Beware of Darkness.
00:50:21
Yeah, that was the actual fact, not that I'm dumb.
00:50:25
Fun fact, I'm an idiot.
00:50:27
Yeah, Killer Cutie's exclusive.
00:50:30
Not to backtrack a little bit, but we talked a little bit about Gladys and the prequel and all that kind of stuff.
00:50:37
But while they were filming, Cregger told Madigan that she could pick between two different options for Gladys' backstory and play it based on whichever one she picked.
00:50:46
He said, you don't have to tell me which one you pick.
00:50:48
He said to this day, he doesn't know which one she picked.
00:50:51
But one of them was that Gladys was just a normal person using dark magic to cure her disease.
00:50:59
And then the other one was that Gladys was non-human and a creature and she was trying to like mimic a human.
00:51:07
So.
00:51:08
Two options.
00:51:09
He said he doesn't know which one she chose.
00:51:12
Based on an interview with her, I don't think she did choose.
00:51:17
She said, I used a lot of different bits of information, but I wouldn't say it's one or the other.
00:51:23
I think it's a combination of a lot of things.
00:51:25
People ask that question, is she real or is it this or is it that?
00:51:29
She said, good, you guys figure it out, because I can't answer that.
00:51:31
So I don't even think she chose.
00:51:33
I think she just kind of did a combination of both and said,
00:51:38
people can decide for themselves.
00:51:41
Yeah.
00:51:42
that.
00:51:43
I don't know that I like either better than the other either, so that works out.
00:51:49
Yeah.
00:51:50
had either way, it's fine.
00:51:53
I think my interpretation was also kind of that it was a little bit of both that she's, I was thinking she started as a human and then kind of slowly transformed into a creature
00:52:05
because of her use of dark magic.
00:52:09
Cause she uses like her saying that the parents have are suffering from consumption.
00:52:15
Like that's just not, that's such an outdated term.
00:52:17
uses that anymore.
00:52:18
So that made me think, oh, she's just this.
00:52:21
decades old, centuries old thing or person that...
00:52:25
too, she says it's been happening to her for a very long time.
00:52:28
So it's sort of implied that it's longer than what would be normal.
00:52:33
Yeah, some people have also pointed out when she's talking to Alex and telling him not to tell anyone about her, she specifically says, tell no other human about me, which is kind
00:52:42
of a weird thing for a person to say.
00:52:44
So some people were saying that was more evidence of her being a creature rather than a person, but I could see it both ways for sure.
00:52:52
Yeah.
00:52:54
fun.
00:52:56
Well, any other fun facts?
00:52:59
I was just going to talk a little bit.
00:52:59
We've talked a little bit about how Jordan Peele wanted the movie and stuff like that before.
00:53:05
But they talked about, yeah, they talked about that a little bit.
00:53:08
Like Netflix apparently was offering more money than New Line was.
00:53:12
New Line is who ended up getting it.
00:53:14
Netflix was offering more money, but wasn't necessarily promising a theatrical release.
00:53:18
They wanted that.
00:53:19
So that's why they went with New Line.
00:53:22
And then also Monkey Paw is basically partnered with Universal.
00:53:28
So Jordan Peele, obviously we talked about how much he wanted it.
00:53:32
Well, we didn't know until I read this was that the offer that they made was $7 million less than what New Line made.
00:53:40
And Jordan Peele said, you can take that out of my contract to make up the difference.
00:53:44
Like basically saying, like take it out of my paycheck.
00:53:47
I want the movie.
00:53:48
And Universal backed out.
00:53:50
So that's why like there was this whole issue because Jordan Peele basically, yeah, it was like.
00:53:56
more so on Universal's end than Jordan Peele's end where he was willing to pay seven million dollars to get it.
00:54:05
Didn't happen.
00:54:05
New line got it.
00:54:07
yeah.
00:54:08
And then there's some sort of conflict of interest because Jordan Peele's agent was the same.
00:54:15
Peele and Kreger have the same agent.
00:54:18
His name's Peter Principano.
00:54:20
There was some sort of conflict of interest there.
00:54:24
And then after the fact, Peele parted ways with him and his management artist first.
00:54:33
There's not really clear, like, this is why that happened, but, I mean, it does sort of feel like he chose Cregger or over Peel, which would be damaging to that relationship.
00:54:46
Well, I don't know if it was him choosing it over that, but I think that there might've been worries that that was, cause I mean, he has to represent both, right?
00:54:54
So.
00:54:56
Yeah, who's to say if that...
00:54:59
I think he was doing what was in Cregger's best interest, but it's not necessarily his fault that Universal backed out, right?
00:55:06
that's...
00:55:07
Peele was willing to give the money that they were asking for or that they could get, you know?
00:55:12
So I don't know if it was necessarily his fault that it didn't happen, but Prince Bada's obviously not Peele's.
00:55:21
Yeah, but people are saying like this was a huge deal.
00:55:24
when this movie got picked up, they were basically saying it's kind of unprecedented in modern times for directors who are essentially on their second project to get deals this
00:55:35
good.
00:55:36
And Cregger has done other movies, but I don't think they were like full theatrical releases.
00:55:40
So I think this Barbarian was his first like fully theatrical feature film.
00:55:47
And they were comparing it to Night Shyamalan's deals post the Sixth Sense.
00:55:52
Big deals.
00:55:54
Which is also crazy because like the barbarian barbarian and six cents are not to me on the same level at all like six sense Barbarian is very good But it's not the sixth sense
00:56:08
You know what I mean?
00:56:11
exactly
00:56:11
it in terms of like having this sleeper hit and then getting these huge deals afterwards, not necessarily comparing the films themselves.
00:56:19
Because Barbarian, what?
00:56:20
I this guy just came out of nowhere and it did very well.
00:56:24
So I think people were willing to invest that in him.
00:56:28
And rightfully so.
00:56:29
Weapons is doing very well.
00:56:31
it's doing very well.
00:56:33
Yeah, what it's like one of the best original horror score or stories ever.
00:56:38
Like not a franchise.
00:56:41
One of the most successful
00:56:43
like movie wise okay i thought you were just saying you like the story yeah
00:56:50
no, No, money wise, it's performing the best of almost any original horror story.
00:56:59
Yeah.
00:57:00
that is not a franchise, part of a franchise.
00:57:03
Like an original idea.
00:57:04
Which it's been a big year for that, because sinners also...
00:57:07
I think sinners did better than weapons, right?
00:57:10
Had to have.
00:57:11
it's been out for months.
00:57:13
Sinners is still in theaters, Jesus.
00:57:17
I don't think it is, but it should be.
00:57:19
I would go see it again.
00:57:21
Yeah, I wish I had seen it in theaters.
00:57:23
That was my bad.
00:57:25
I know.
00:57:26
Do you have any other fun facts?
00:57:29
I think that'll do it.
00:57:31
All right, let's rate it.
00:57:33
Let's rate it.
00:57:35
How scary did you think it was?
00:57:38
I gave it a 2.
00:57:39
I think it started off stronger than it ended.
00:57:42
By the end it was kind of a little bit more campy and fun.
00:57:45
Yeah.
00:57:46
But the first half?
00:57:48
It a little spooky.
00:57:50
There were definitely some good moments of tension.
00:57:52
A few good jump scares.
00:57:54
The car scene was crazy when I heard that door pop.
00:57:57
I also was saying, no.
00:58:00
What about you?
00:58:03
Yeah.
00:58:03
Similar, one of my higher rated films, or Scarywise, because it had very effective tension, it had really good jump scares.
00:58:11
It might have been higher, but there was a lot of comic relief.
00:58:15
Yep.
00:58:17
Yeah, I don't know it was meant to be super traumatizing, but.
00:58:20
Yeah, I think it towed the line of scary and funny.
00:58:25
It was good.
00:58:26
Yes, good tone.
00:58:28
Yeah.
00:58:30
How sexy did you think it was?
00:58:32
I give it a 2.5 just for vibes, know, just Zach Cregger or being back, Josh Brolin, James Brolin, Josh Brolin, just vibes.
00:58:43
It's like, know, sometimes software is sexy.
00:58:46
This movie is just, you know, sexy, you know?
00:58:49
you say software?
00:58:52
No, you've never heard that or like a job is sexy.
00:58:54
I yeah, you've got a really sexy job.
00:58:57
Like they don't mean like you're in the sex industry.
00:59:00
It's just like a, like, it's like a sexy job.
00:59:02
Yeah.
00:59:03
Like this movie is just like, it's got like a sexy vibe.
00:59:06
What would you, what's the sexiest job to you?
00:59:08
No, I know that 1980s SeaWorld person.
00:59:13
You've already said it.
00:59:14
You've already said it on this stream or on the podcast.
00:59:18
So right.
00:59:20
That's a sexy job.
00:59:21
in today's day and age, a sexy job would be like uh a tech executive, which not...
00:59:31
That's just what people say.
00:59:32
That's not what I would say.
00:59:34
Or like...
00:59:35
In fact, I think tech executives are some of the least sexy people.
00:59:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59:39
Well, it's not the people, it's the job.
00:59:41
Like you get all these perks and you're doing like interesting, innovative things.
00:59:48
like working at Google and getting the nap pods and catered lunch and yeah, yeah, yeah, that's sexy, sexy, sexy.
00:59:56
Has that vibe.
00:59:57
It's got that vibe.
00:59:58
It's just got that vibe.
01:00:00
You know, like I get my little nap pod, I get my lunch catered to me.
01:00:04
Yeah, exactly.
01:00:07
It's just vibe.
01:00:08
It's a vibe.
01:00:10
Thank you.
01:00:11
Okay.
01:00:13
What did you give it?
01:00:15
I give it a 2 out of 5.
01:00:17
Kinda the same, like the cast and the vibe.
01:00:20
You know?
01:00:21
yeah, I do.
01:00:23
It's witchcraft too, which I think always gets a little bummed.
01:00:28
She's not the sexiest witch I've ever seen in my life, but...
01:00:32
In fact, I think that this movie did more effectively what Long Legs was trying to do.
01:00:40
You know?
01:00:41
a lot of people compare it to long legs.
01:00:44
And yeah, if we're doing a direct comparison, I'm choosing weapons every time.
01:00:50
I wasn't the biggest long legs fan though, so.
01:00:52
Yeah.
01:00:53
Sorry, Nicolas Cage.
01:00:55
I still liked Long Legs, but it just wasn't this.
01:00:58
This is what I wanted Long Legs to be, like an actually creepy villain that's also hilarious.
01:01:08
You know?
01:01:09
Yeah.
01:01:10
Anyway.
01:01:12
How fucked up did you think it was?
01:01:14
I only gave it a one and I think you're gonna yell at me for that maybe?
01:01:18
Well, now I get it.
01:01:20
like there were aspects of it that were a little fucked up.
01:01:25
I don't know why the her grading his face like didn't bother me at all.
01:01:29
I think it just looked really fake.
01:01:31
I didn't watch it.
01:01:32
okay.
01:01:35
It didn't look very realistic at all.
01:01:38
So it just didn't...
01:01:40
I don't know.
01:01:41
Yeah.
01:01:43
I feel like I remembered...
01:01:46
Oh, I think I gave it half a point just because of Alex's whole story.
01:01:50
It was so sad.
01:01:52
That poor kid.
01:01:53
Just devastating.
01:01:56
But the actual gore and stuff like that, I don't know, it didn't bother me.
01:02:00
The cheese grater, I think, just looked a little too fake and then the kids pulling her apart was just kind of funny.
01:02:06
The vibes were different at that point, so yeah.
01:02:09
What about you?
01:02:10
I only gave it a two.
01:02:13
Yeah, I mean...
01:02:15
It was just the two scenes.
01:02:16
It was her being pulled apart and it was the vegetable peeler.
01:02:18
Um,
01:02:20
The Alex stuff, I just didn't...
01:02:22
That was more scary for me than it was fucked up.
01:02:25
More like emotional than fucked up.
01:02:28
So yeah, I'm gonna give it a two.
01:02:30
Yeah.
01:02:31
Maybe I should give it like a 1.5 though.
01:02:35
Yeah, for all the things you just mentioned.
01:02:37
Well, and for the gays dying.
01:02:40
I didn't like that.
01:02:43
Overall, what did you think?
01:02:45
I thought it was a blasty blast.
01:02:48
Yeah, it was.
01:02:49
I didn't think it was.
01:02:50
It is a blasty blast.
01:02:52
eh It had the right amount of weird, the right amount of scary, the right amount of super happy fun time.
01:02:58
I loved the multiple perspective, sort of overlapping timelines thing.
01:03:03
That was fun.
01:03:04
The overall concept is fun, witchcraft is always a good time.
01:03:07
I really loved...
01:03:09
The villain, I loved Gladys.
01:03:11
I thought she was hilarious, but also like very commanding and like creepy.
01:03:16
um I think if I have to be critical, the acting specifically between Justine and Paul was like very flat.
01:03:26
And I felt like I was like digging through the scenes of them, like just like wading through them, like waiting for them to be over, know?
01:03:34
Waiting with a D and then waiting with a T to get, anyway.
01:03:39
So like the scenes in the bar were just like really painful.
01:03:42
I also think that this is rewatchable, but I think it's only extremely watchable if you watch it in a full theater, watch it with a bunch of friends who have never seen it.
01:03:51
Like it would be way more fun that way than just like sitting at home on the couch and watching it again, which I will do.
01:03:58
I'm gonna watch it again.
01:03:59
uh So for those two reasons, I bumped it down to a 4.5.
01:04:05
Nice.
01:04:07
Yeah.
01:04:08
I loved it.
01:04:10
She really liked it.
01:04:11
I did.
01:04:13
I guess that's not what you gave it.
01:04:15
I did not.
01:04:16
Okay.
01:04:18
I very much enjoyed this movie.
01:04:23
I didn't hate it at all.
01:04:24
I feel like you got worried there for a second that I hated it.
01:04:27
I didn't.
01:04:27
This was a blast.
01:04:28
You were right.
01:04:29
I like Cregger's style.
01:04:31
This felt a lot like Barbarian, not in, you know, content, but style-wise.
01:04:37
Like, even if I didn't know Cregger did this, I could watch it and know that it was him.
01:04:43
So.
01:04:44
Very excited for him and everything that he has coming up because I think he's established himself in kind of what he does and he does it well.
01:04:52
I didn't have an issue with any of the performances.
01:04:54
I thought it was all done very well.
01:04:56
I think...
01:04:58
I know some people say that like the jumping to different perspectives like takes them out a little bit, but I was expecting that after Barbarian.
01:05:05
Yeah, because he does the same thing where it's like these abrupt cuts of, holy shit, what just fucking happened to Justin Long driving down the street.
01:05:14
you know, I was kind of expecting that.
01:05:17
So I think my biggest complaint with this is that I'm just going to be like a little bit of a buzzkill and say that I'm just sick of watching gay people die.
01:05:26
I don't want to do it anymore.
01:05:27
I'm sick of the bury your gays trend.
01:05:29
I think it's stupid.
01:05:30
And especially when we have a president whose regime is like actively trying to erase the LGBT community, I just don't want to see it.
01:05:38
And I get it.
01:05:39
I know people say, hey, it's a horror movie.
01:05:42
Everybody's going to die.
01:05:43
Everybody should be allowed to die.
01:05:44
And that's true in a perfect world.
01:05:46
In a perfect world where bury your gays as a trope didn't exist, sure, everyone can die.
01:05:52
Everyone's fair game.
01:05:54
But when the two most brutal deaths in the entire movie, maybe sans-gladys, are like this gay couple, I don't know.
01:06:01
just, something about that just didn't sit right with me.
01:06:05
It left a bad taste in my mouth afterwards.
01:06:08
And so I docked it a full point.
01:06:09
I still gave it a four out of five, but yeah.
01:06:14
And I get like if they did change it because of like they didn't want to show like a man beating the shit out of a woman.
01:06:21
I can kind of understand that, but I feel like there were workarounds.
01:06:24
Just gender swap them then.
01:06:26
Have the woman kill the husband.
01:06:28
Yeah, honestly.
01:06:29
Yeah.
01:06:31
Which I get then, yeah, people had pointed out, oh, well she has to then be strong and imposing enough to take on Josh Brolin's character later.
01:06:41
But I mean, that's part of the supernatural of it.
01:06:44
She very well could have been.
01:06:45
That's what I'm saying.
01:06:46
I'm like, he went head to head with James later and James kept going and that's a scrawny little guy.
01:06:52
Right.
01:06:53
So I don't know.
01:06:54
I don't know if that's like necessarily a good enough excuse, but I don't know.
01:06:59
I just.
01:07:01
It's kind of like for me, and maybe this is too much, maybe we'll cut this out, but to me, it's kind of like we just read it or tried to, I DNF'd, and it's like the N-word every
01:07:10
other word.
01:07:10
It's terrible.
01:07:12
And I understand like leveraging that as a way to paint your villain as the villain, but like it's just at a point becomes unnecessary.
01:07:25
I don't think for this movie, I don't think it got to that point where it was unnecessary.
01:07:30
I think that there was more celebration of the normalcy of being in a gay couple and going to the grocery store together and, you know, just like living a normal life, having your
01:07:40
seven hot dogs for dinner, like so normal.
01:07:43
So I can absolutely see it both ways.
01:07:46
But that was the first thing that I thought of was like the whole it thing where had they just used the N word one time.
01:07:52
And it be like a painting a picture of like, this guy is a really bad guy.
01:07:55
I would have gotten it, which was sort of what was happening in weapons is she's got no like, she just interrupted a very cute little like fun movie night between a very healthy
01:08:06
relationship couple, whether they're gay or not.
01:08:09
She's just a bad person and she will make people kill other people.
01:08:14
So I don't know.
01:08:15
and to be clear, like I think, I don't necessarily think that the portrayal of the couple was done in bad faith.
01:08:24
I think it's just one of those things where the gay community has had to watch this happen to all of their representation for forever, right?
01:08:33
Every time it's like, there's a gay couple and then they die brutally.
01:08:35
And it's like, okay.
01:08:38
Did that outweigh it?
01:08:40
I don't know.
01:08:41
Yeah.
01:08:41
I don't know.
01:08:42
I just grappled with it and, and it, I'm not going to say that it didn't impact my enjoyment because it did, but I'm still trying to decide how much and what that means for
01:08:55
me.
01:08:55
And I don't know.
01:08:57
Yeah.
01:08:57
I guess it's kind of.
01:08:59
I understand people who weren't impacted by it and I understand people who were.
01:09:03
Yeah, so fair.
01:09:04
It's very valid to not want to see that anymore.
01:09:06
So valid.
01:09:08
It's just like not right now, man.
01:09:12
Not with everything else that's going on.
01:09:14
For sure.
01:09:15
Yes.
01:09:15
So valid.
01:09:17
But yeah, overall, it was still a very fun watch.
01:09:21
I enjoyed it.
01:09:23
Yeah.
01:09:24
The real question though is, would you survive?
01:09:28
I mean, I don't think so.
01:09:34
Okay.
01:09:36
I don't know.
01:09:36
I mean, I think if I'm in anybody's shoes, it's Josh Brolin's, but like with the body type of Justine.
01:09:45
like, like, or like maybe not the body type, but like the the like.
01:09:53
What am I trying to say?
01:09:54
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
01:10:00
So I don't I don't know.
01:10:02
The only reason he's alive.
01:10:04
I mean, I would be doing that.
01:10:05
I would be pursuing more.
01:10:07
Where is my kid?
01:10:09
Than the other parents, like, what the fuck were they doing?
01:10:11
Just sitting around, not doing anything.
01:10:13
That was also unrealistic to me that the parents seem to have just like moved on other than him.
01:10:19
Even the mom.
01:10:20
Anyway.
01:10:20
um
01:10:22
So I think I would get into the situations that he has gotten himself into, but I wouldn't be able to get out of them.
01:10:27
So I think I'm dead.
01:10:29
yeah.
01:10:31
Yeah, how about you?
01:10:32
I don't know, I'm having a hard time deciding who I would be in this.
01:10:36
Yeah.
01:10:38
Probably the witch.
01:10:42
Am I wrong of everybody in the movie?
01:10:45
If I was a witch though, would just accept my death.
01:10:49
I wouldn't try to kidnap children and suck the life force out of them.
01:10:53
I'm not evil.
01:10:57
You know what you just sounded like?
01:11:00
If I was a witch though.
01:11:01
uh
01:11:04
Exactly.
01:11:05
Yeah, I don't know.
01:11:06
If I'm just part of this community that has been impacted by these kids getting abducted.
01:11:14
Yeah, I think the only way I would be like super involved is if it was one of my kids and I have a really hard time imagining myself having kids.
01:11:21
Yeah, fair.
01:11:24
And also, only one person who's a woman dies, and it's Gladys.
01:11:29
And I don't think I'm a centuries-old witch killing children, so...
01:11:35
I'm just saying the most likely of all the characters?
01:11:38
I think I would be a teacher before a witch.
01:11:43
Thank you.
01:11:44
She does live.
01:11:47
And I would have no trouble shooting Paul, because that guy sucked.
01:11:50
Yeah, honestly, yeah.
01:11:53
I mean, she didn't either in the grand scheme of things, she did it twice.
01:11:56
Yeah.
01:11:58
So I'd say maybe.
01:12:00
I have a shot.
01:12:01
that's not, okay, so you're living.
01:12:04
Yeah, why not?
01:12:05
Yeah, I think I'm being turned into a zombie guy that is then killed.
01:12:09
Yeah.
01:12:11
Yeah.
01:12:11
You're more of a James.
01:12:14
Well, no, I didn't say that.
01:12:17
I just say that I'm not being, I'm not able to fight them off.
01:12:22
No, what?
01:12:23
my favorite line of the entire movie.
01:12:25
I can't come into the police station.
01:12:27
I'm phobic.
01:12:30
He was great.
01:12:33
He was so good.
01:12:34
Yeah, that was...
01:12:37
James was by far like the funniest segment of anything.
01:12:41
yeah.
01:12:42
Oh shoot.
01:12:43
Well, that's it then.
01:12:45
Weapons.
01:12:47
Go see it in theaters with a full theater of people.
01:12:51
Yeah, I do think this is a movie to watch with other people.
01:12:56
You mentioned rewatchability.
01:12:58
Yeah, I think I would rewatch Barbarian just on its own, because I really loved Barbarian, but this movie I feel like I would probably only rewatch it to like watch other people
01:13:10
watch it.
01:13:11
That would be fun.
01:13:13
Yeah.
01:13:14
absolutely true.
01:13:15
Yeah, just the way that people were reacting in the theater.
01:13:18
I would like that again.
01:13:19
I want that experience exactly again.
01:13:21
Yeah, I almost wish my theater had more people in it.
01:13:26
Yeah.
01:13:27
Alright, do you want to predict next week's movie?
01:13:31
Okay, we...
01:13:32
Have you already seen it?
01:13:34
I don't know what it is.
01:13:36
That was a reasonable question.
01:13:37
What if I've already seen it?
01:13:38
Why would you have seen it?
01:13:41
That's like the whole premise of this podcast is that you haven't seen these movies.
01:13:47
It's a request from our listener, Mike.
01:13:53
It's malignant.
01:13:54
We are going to be watching Malignant.
01:13:57
Malignant.
01:13:58
Yep.
01:13:58
Excellent.
01:13:59
Yep.
01:14:00
This is a mom with cancer and they think it's cancer.
01:14:09
Malignant.
01:14:10
Yeah.
01:14:11
They think it's cancer, but it's actually a demon that has put itself inside her.
01:14:18
Wow.
01:14:20
in a bad way.
01:14:22
Just to be clear.
01:14:24
And there's a there's a scene where she's getting, you know, like the scenes in house where like they're fighting behind and like there's somebody in the MRI tube and they're
01:14:37
behind the glass and they're like, they're behind the glass and they're all fighting, you know, I'm talking about in house.
01:14:43
OK, it's one of those scenes where like the doctors are like all fighting and the
01:14:48
The woman with the malignancy is in the MRI tube and they're fighting and that's when one of the big jump scares happens and then they get scared and then they look at the screen
01:15:02
at the MRI and they can see the demon in her.
01:15:07
Yes.
01:15:09
Yep.
01:15:09
And then she gets like totally possessed at that point and leaves the hospital so they can't help her.
01:15:14
I mean, they couldn't help her anyway, but.
01:15:17
now they especially can't help her.
01:15:19
So she leaves and she goes home and the demon has taken over so much that it like knows how she would act in real life.
01:15:30
So now the husband and the kid are at home and she comes back and they're like, mom, are you feeling better?
01:15:36
And she's like, yes, I'm feeling better.
01:15:38
And then it's implied it's not showed on screen because I don't want to see that, that the mom kills the dad and the kid.
01:15:47
That's how it ends.
01:15:48
Damn.
01:15:50
sad ending.
01:15:52
Yeah, yeah, bleak.
01:15:53
And it's also implied that the demon can spread to other people.
01:15:57
Got it.
01:15:59
Yep.
01:15:59
Malignant.
01:16:00
Yep.
01:16:02
Anything?
01:16:04
I'm not gonna tell you.
01:16:05
I think that this is actually a fun one to go into blind.
01:16:08
So I'm just gonna, yeah, I'm just gonna leave you to watch it and you'll see how much or how little you got wrong or right.
01:16:18
Okay, any triggers?
01:16:20
Any, any?
01:16:22
so I don't have to look it up and get spoiled that way.
01:16:25
I'll look it up for you or I'll watch it before you.
01:16:27
And cause it's been a couple of years since I've seen it.
01:16:30
Okay, bones is the only one I care about.
01:16:32
I'll watch the other ones.
01:16:33
say probably.
01:16:35
Great.
01:16:36
Love that for me.
01:16:37
think sound wise, but I'd have to rewatch to be sure.
01:16:43
Yeah, I will.
01:16:48
Great.
01:16:48
all of you next Tuesday.

Anything else?
01:17:13

01:17:21
best news to one of us.
01:17:25
You can give it to Katie because I don't care as much as she does, obviously, but I would like a win every once in a while.
01:17:31
If I could get like one out of every five or so, that'd be great.
01:17:35
Yeah.
01:17:36
Yeah, for sure.
01:17:38
And next week, we're to play another game.
01:17:40
Don't know what it is yet, but tune in for that.
01:17:45
Promise.
01:17:45
I promise.
01:17:47
Yeah, we've decided to start doing more games like that.
01:17:49
Although we should...
01:17:51
The last one was a lot of yelling.
01:17:53
We should maybe do one that's a little less yelling.
01:17:57
Less yelling.
01:17:58
less yelling, but also we have to figure out how to execute it.
01:18:04
I got there.
01:18:06
Execute it.
01:18:08
All right, cool.
01:18:08
Well, we will see you next week.
01:18:09
Thank you for listening.
01:18:11
Have a good rest of your Tuesday.
01:18:13
Bye.
