00:00:25
Hello.
00:00:26
Hello?
00:00:28
Happy Tuesday.
00:00:29
Yeah, happy Tuesday.
00:00:32
I hope everybody's having just the greatest February ever.
00:00:36
Yeah, and a happy Valentine's Day a couple days ago.
00:00:40
Yeah, that sounds correct.
00:00:43
I don't know what day it is anymore, because we're filming beforehand.
00:00:49
I mean, not that we always do, but you know, a little bit more ahead than we usually do.
00:00:54
Yes, slightly.
00:00:57
Just a little.
00:00:58
well, we're here today to talk about the brand new, last month, film, Send Help.
00:01:08
But first, in our last episode, we promised that we would predict the Oscars.
00:01:17
We're doing it.
00:01:18
Our qualifications are nothing.
00:01:21
We just like movies.
00:01:23
Yeah, no qualifications at all.
00:01:25
I mean, two and a half years of horror podcasting gives us some.
00:01:32
Something.
00:01:33
Something.
00:01:34
we definitely have seen some movies.
00:01:37
Yeah, we've...
00:01:39
I haven't even seen all the Oscars movies.
00:01:41
Me neither, but I didn't last year either and we did this.
00:01:44
And we did pretty well.
00:01:46
Between the two of us, we got a lot right.
00:01:49
So, you guys don't know about that, but for your reference, Katie and I did this together last year.
00:01:58
Off cam.
00:02:00
We got quite a bit right.
00:02:01
Yeah, so now for posterity, we're doing it on camera.
00:02:06
Yeah, and we're probably gonna go all wrong this year.
00:02:09
Of course.
00:02:12
Okay, well, shall we?
00:02:13
Yeah, let's do it.
00:02:16
What does yours start with?
00:02:18
uh
00:02:20
I just pulled open the official oscar.org nominees page, but the uh spreadsheet I'm going to keep them in is the same as we did last year, which starts with Best Picture.
00:02:36
god, okay, I think that's backwards for me, so I'll go down here.
00:02:39
okay.
00:02:39
Well, the website starts with actor in a leading role.
00:02:43
that more?
00:02:45
Great.
00:02:46
We'll do that and I'll just fill it in from the, you know, we'll figure it out.
00:02:52
Great.
00:02:53
All right.
00:02:55
First up is actor in a leading role nominees, Timothy Jaleme, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Michael B.
00:03:01
Jordan and Wagner Mora.
00:03:04
What do you think?
00:03:06
I would like Michael B.
00:03:08
Jordan to win, but I think Timothee Chalamet will.
00:03:10
I think there's been a huge circle jerk for Timothee Chalamet, and he'll end up winning.
00:03:15
him circle-joking himself?
00:03:20
That's what I've seen.
00:03:21
it's all the film bros also.
00:03:25
Yeah.
00:03:26
We'll see.
00:03:27
also, listen, to be clear right now, I want Sinners to Sweep.
00:03:32
Any category it's nominated for, that's my personal pick.
00:03:36
I don't think that's gonna happen.
00:03:39
I, yes, I think it's between Timothy and Leonardo, realistically.
00:03:47
I don't know, I went to me last year.
00:03:50
I think I'm gonna go Leo this year.
00:03:52
Okay, risky business.
00:03:54
He's lost everything he's ever been nominated for.
00:03:57
Well, that's not true.
00:03:59
He has an Oscar for The Revenant.
00:04:00
Now it was whole big thing.
00:04:02
Yeah.
00:04:04
And I don't know, there is something about the Oscars doesn't really like to give Oscars to young actors.
00:04:10
They'll give it to young actresses, but not young actors.
00:04:14
It's rare.
00:04:15
And I think also it would kind of be funny.
00:04:20
Not, listen, I have nothing against Timothee Chalamet, but he wants it.
00:04:24
He wants it so bad and I respect it.
00:04:27
I respect that he's open about it, but I think it would kind of be funny if he went on this whole tear to get an Oscar and they were just like, no.
00:04:38
We'll give it to the guy that we've barely even considered for 45 years.
00:04:42
Leonardo DiCaprio has an Oscar, he's done pining over it, we can give him however many we want, you know?
00:04:49
That type of vibe.
00:04:50
In fact, Timothy Chalamet will be the next Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:04:52
It'll take him another 35 years to get his first Oscar.
00:04:56
It's not his first Oscar.
00:04:57
Has he gotten one?
00:04:58
Has Timothy not gotten one?
00:04:59
No.
00:05:01
That's why he wants one so bad.
00:05:05
Yeah, he'll get one one day.
00:05:08
But I do think it's between the two of us.
00:05:09
I think one of us will be right.
00:05:11
That's my prediction.
00:05:12
Yeah, okay.
00:05:16
And I'd love that.
00:05:17
Thank you.
00:05:18
I wouldn't love if you...
00:05:19
I'm more petty than that.
00:05:22
great, okay.
00:05:24
Just kidding.
00:05:25
I'm just joking.
00:05:27
Okay, actor in a supporting role.
00:05:32
do you want to go first this time?
00:05:32
Sure.
00:05:33
I thought you were gonna say them all.
00:05:34
No?
00:05:35
Okay.
00:05:35
yeah, okay, yeah, actor in supporting role.
00:05:38
Benicio del Toro, Jacob Elordi, Delroy Lindo, Sean Penn, Stellan Skarsgard.
00:05:45
Again, I want to center sweep, but I do think Delroy Lindo being nominated was kind of a surprise, even though well-deserved.
00:05:53
He did fantastic in centers.
00:05:57
I think I have Stellum Scarsgard for this one, but I think this one's a little, yeah, I think this one's a little bit more gray for me.
00:06:08
I don't think there's like a clear one.
00:06:10
I could see Sean Penn taking it.
00:06:12
I could see Benicio taking it, so.
00:06:15
But I have Sean-Stellan.
00:06:17
I got him written down.
00:06:18
I gotta support my SCARS guards.
00:06:20
Yeah, yeah, he's my favorite scar scar the hottest one
00:06:24
Some have said, Q.
00:06:28
It was between Benicio and Stella for me and I Stella.
00:06:33
Yeah, I think the long shots are a lordy of lendo.
00:06:36
Even though I wouldn't mind seeing either, I think they both did incredible,
00:06:41
Yeah.
00:06:42
Yeah.
00:06:43
Alright, cool.
00:06:44
Next up, have actress in a leading role.
00:06:47
Nominees are Jessie Buckley, Rose Byrne, Kate Hudson,
00:06:50
Renate Renzve and Emma Stone.
00:06:53
oh
00:06:54
I go first this time.
00:06:56
yeah, sure, if you want.
00:06:58
I would love in Emma Stone win surprisingly because I don't love her and I haven't seen begonia yet but I just feel like begonia was fun and quirky and it would be nice to see
00:07:11
that win but I think it would be it's like old hatch because she didn't she win for poor things last year
00:07:18
I don't think that was last year.
00:07:20
I think that was, yeah.
00:07:22
She won four poor things.
00:07:23
I just don't think it was last year.
00:07:27
So I went with Jessie Buckley.
00:07:30
I did as well.
00:07:31
I think it's hers to lose.
00:07:33
She's pretty much kind of swept for everything so far.
00:07:36
I would be very surprised if she does not win.
00:07:40
Yeah, that feels right.
00:07:42
Aw, Kate Hudson.
00:07:44
Yeah?
00:07:44
for Kate Hudson.
00:07:48
Okay, actress in a supporting role.
00:07:50
Some horror in this one.
00:07:52
Elle Fanning, Inga Lilias, Amy Madigan, Wimmy Mosaku, and Teyana Taylor.
00:08:00
Who'd you go with?
00:08:02
You're the same.
00:08:03
uh
00:08:05
I would love Amy Madigan to win.
00:08:08
I would love Wooden Me to win.
00:08:11
yeah, of course.
00:08:14
Um
00:08:14
I do realize that I think I wouldn't be surprised if Amy Madigan won.
00:08:20
I like, to me the definition of acting is like transformative, right?
00:08:24
It should be transformative and that she is unrecognizable in that movie.
00:08:29
And it's just great.
00:08:31
She's so good.
00:08:32
But yeah, I think one battle after another is gonna do a little bit more sweeping than that.
00:08:37
So Tiana it is.
00:08:39
Yep, I agree.
00:08:40
Next up we have animated feature film.
00:08:44
Nominees are ARCO, ELIO, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Little Amelie or the character of Rain, and Zootopia 2.
00:08:52
I personally think if we're going based on cultural significance, it's got to be K-pop Demon Hunters.
00:08:59
um Do you think the Oscars does cultural significance?
00:09:04
Sometimes.
00:09:05
You
00:09:07
If it...
00:09:08
Sometimes.
00:09:09
Yeah, I agree.
00:09:12
also have Kpop demon hot tooth.
00:09:13
Yeah.
00:09:14
I mean, the others are just not.
00:09:17
I didn't see Little Omelie.
00:09:18
Never heard of Arco.
00:09:20
But it would be it would probably be a Disney movie.
00:09:24
If it weren't K-pop, Demon Hunters and I don't think Elia where Zootopia 2 were up to snuff.
00:09:31
So keep up Demon Hunters.
00:09:33
Yeah, I agree.
00:09:35
like K-pop Demon Hunters.
00:09:36
Great film.
00:09:38
Mm-hmm.
00:09:39
Yeah.
00:09:40
I think it deserves.
00:09:42
Okay next up we have animated short film.
00:09:46
Butterfly forevergreen, the girl who cried pearls, retirement plan and the three sisters.
00:09:55
I have not seen a single one.
00:09:57
Me neither.
00:09:58
Going off vibes alone.
00:10:01
went off of vibes.
00:10:02
I chose retirement plan because I would love to retire personally, but I really like the idea of the girl who cried pearls.
00:10:10
That's fun.
00:10:11
That was my second pick, so nice.
00:10:15
Yeah, I like it.
00:10:18
Yeah.
00:10:18
Seems like Butterfly is the...
00:10:21
favorite.
00:10:23
Ah, well, we can't get them all right, you know?
00:10:28
Yeah, maybe there'll be an animated short film Upset and one of us will win.
00:10:35
Alright, next we have a new category, Casting.
00:10:37
First time at the Oscars that they are doing this category.
00:10:41
Nominees are Hamnet.
00:10:43
Oh.
00:10:44
What am I imagining?
00:10:46
Imagine being a casting director up until this point and now you can win an Oscar for it.
00:10:51
Yeah, like, OK.
00:10:53
So annoying.
00:10:55
Maybe they're just happy that it's getting recognized, you know?
00:10:59
I'm more petty than that, but yes, some people may f-
00:11:02
now that they like fighting for like free tuition, you know?
00:11:06
Yeah, we had to pay but like shouldn't kids be able to go to college for free?
00:11:10
I think so.
00:11:13
God, it's just awards based.
00:11:16
Too petty.
00:11:17
Love that.
00:11:18
Yeah.
00:11:19
All right, nominees for casting are Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent and Sinners.
00:11:26
No Incentors.
00:11:28
This one, because it's not just casting.
00:11:31
It's like achievement in casting or like.
00:11:34
What's the actual title?
00:11:36
Is it just casting?
00:11:38
I thought it was.
00:11:39
I thought it was more than that.
00:11:40
Either way.
00:11:42
Extenders was my pick.
00:11:43
By a landslide.
00:11:44
don't think any...
00:11:44
I mean, of course Timothy Chalamet is going to play a little white boy.
00:11:49
Yeah, exactly.
00:11:51
I also in sinners.
00:11:52
Yeah, of course.
00:11:54
It has to be.
00:11:55
It has to be, come on.
00:11:57
Such a diverse cast.
00:11:59
Well, it's not really diverse.
00:12:00
It's just...
00:12:02
not white people, which is really refreshing.
00:12:04
uh Not what we usually see at the Oscars.
00:12:07
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:08
It's diverse in the grand scheme of movies, maybe not for itself, yeah, it's it's gotta be.
00:12:14
And if it's not, we riot.
00:12:16
And I think every single person in that movie just absolutely knocked it out of the park.
00:12:21
Not a bad person acting in that whole film.
00:12:25
Mm And to find like it's a musical to find all the people doing the acting really well that can also sing really well and not make it like cheesy.
00:12:36
found Miles Caden, give him the Oscar just for that.
00:12:40
Because that kid was just sitting in his basement.
00:12:43
Yeah.
00:12:44
Was it like a phone recorded video?
00:12:47
Yep.
00:12:47
Yeah, no, you're right.
00:12:48
turned the light on.
00:12:49
He just sang in the dark and Googler was like, yep, get in my movie.
00:12:56
Next is costume design.
00:12:59
We have Avatar, Fire and Ash, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme and Sinners.
00:13:06
For costume design, I was going back and forth between Sinners and Frankenstein.
00:13:13
I'm gonna give it to sinners.
00:13:15
I think it's gonna be Frankenstein, but I'm gonna give it to sinners, personally.
00:13:20
What do you think?
00:13:21
I think it's going to be Frankenstein, but I gave it to Avatar Fire and Ash.
00:13:25
there you go.
00:13:25
So we both think it's gonna be Frankenstein, but we're gonna give it to something else.
00:13:31
Not that.
00:13:32
Have you seen Avatar Fire?
00:13:33
Yeah, I even seen the first Avatar.
00:13:35
haven't even seen the first Avatar.
00:13:36
was the one person apparently who didn't ever see that movie.
00:13:42
Sorry.
00:13:42
Fire and Ash that has the most diverse costuming of any of them.
00:13:46
So I figured if it's gonna win for any of them, it should be this one.
00:13:50
okay, see I have fire and ash for something else, so.
00:13:53
Yeah.
00:13:56
Look at that.
00:13:57
I love fire and ash better than you.
00:13:59
All right, next up I have cinematography.
00:14:05
Yep,
00:14:06
All right, cinematography.
00:14:07
We have Frankenstein, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Sinners, and Train Dreams.
00:14:14
I picked Sinners for this one for the same reason I picked Sinners for editing, spoiler alert.
00:14:20
Because there should be something said about the whole Michael B.
00:14:26
Jordan of it all.
00:14:28
You know what I mean?
00:14:29
Like he's in the same scene and like passing shit to himself and so.
00:14:35
What?
00:14:36
Yeah, yeah, but also like the nighttime scenes and they were just like well lit and.
00:14:43
It is, it really is.
00:14:44
So yeah, I gave it to centers.
00:14:47
I also gave it to Sinners, more so because Autumn Arkapaw, who's the cinematographer, is one of very, very few women who have been nominated for this and I would love to see her
00:15:01
win.
00:15:01
Yeah.
00:15:07
Mm-hmm.
00:15:08
hashtag women supporting women.
00:15:11
I guess so.
00:15:13
Um, okay, next is directing, right?
00:15:16
Yep.
00:15:17
We have Kully Zhao for Hamnet, Josh Safdie for Marty Supreme, Paul Thomas Anderson for one battle after another, Akeem Trier for sentimental value, and Ryan Coogler for sinners.
00:15:30
Who'd you give it to?
00:15:31
Alright, so my broad prediction is that for best director and best picture, it's like one battle after another in Sinners, and I think it's not going to be the same movie.
00:15:48
I think one is going to win for one and one's going to win for the other, and that's going to be like the upset.
00:15:54
Not really an upset because I think a lot of people think that that's who it's between, but I think people think it's going to be one or the other that wins both.
00:16:01
Okay.
00:16:02
So I chose Ryan Coogler.
00:16:04
I think, yeah, spoiler for Best Picture, but I think Coogler's taking director and little PTA won't get it.
00:16:11
But I would kind of also love a Chloe Zhao upset, if I'm being honest.
00:16:17
I think that'd be cool.
00:16:19
But they did, yeah.
00:16:21
But they always love movies directed by women and then they don't give them best director.
00:16:29
True.
00:16:30
Remember when Barbie was nominated for Best Picture but Greta Gerwig didn't get a director's nom?
00:16:35
Yeah, crazy.
00:16:38
The North remembers.
00:16:42
Anyways, I have Kugler down.
00:16:44
What about you?
00:16:46
I would rather not be pissed off so I picked Paul Thomas Anderson for one battle after another just to like soften the blow of when it is actually him and it's not my preferred
00:17:01
pick Brian Coogler.
00:17:02
Yeah, I listen, I love a little bit of heartbreak, so.
00:17:06
Yeah, no, couldn't be me.
00:17:08
One more and it's all over.
00:17:11
Very fair.
00:17:13
Alright, next I have documentary feature film.
00:17:17
Nominees are The Alabama Solution, Come See Me in the Good Light, Cutting Through Rocks, Mr.
00:17:21
Nobody Against Putin, and The Perfect Neighbor.
00:17:25
ah I picked perfect neighbor.
00:17:27
That seems to be the consensus.
00:17:30
Look at us go, me as well.
00:17:33
I honestly chose it because it's the one I've heard of.
00:17:35
Yeah, I heard of Mr.
00:17:37
Nobody against Putin, but I don't feel like even if the movie is.
00:17:43
I just don't like Putin.
00:17:44
great, yeah.
00:17:47
Then we have documentary short film.
00:17:49
All the empty rooms armed only with a camera of the life and death of Brent Renau.
00:17:54
Children no more were and are gone.
00:17:57
The devil is busy and perfectly a strangeness.
00:18:01
I have all the empty rooms.
00:18:05
Okay.
00:18:07
That's my pick.
00:18:09
No reason.
00:18:13
Okay.
00:18:15
Yeah.
00:18:15
the devil is very busy.
00:18:18
So I agree.
00:18:19
working overtime, some would say.
00:18:21
Yeah.
00:18:22
Alright, next up we have film editing.
00:18:25
Nominees are F1, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Sentimental Value, and Sinners.
00:18:32
Yeah, I spoiled this one.
00:18:34
I went sinners for this one.
00:18:36
Again, for the Michael B.
00:18:37
Jordan of it all and how he's interacting with himself very seamlessly.
00:18:43
I did not, I went one battle after another for this one.
00:18:48
But you know me, I'd love to see sitters.
00:18:51
Yeah.
00:18:52
Yeah, I'll vote for the upset on that one.
00:18:54
But the the consensus is between one but often other and F1 it feels.
00:18:59
Yeah, I think F1 is gonna get something.
00:19:03
I just have it for something else.
00:19:05
Which I don't know why.
00:19:06
That movie should not be at the Oscars at all.
00:19:09
What are we doing?
00:19:11
I don't know.
00:19:14
Couldn't tell ya.
00:19:14
girl.
00:19:15
Big fan.
00:19:17
Not of the movie, of the sport.
00:19:21
We're an F1 family.
00:19:24
But I didn't see the movie because I fucking hate Brad Pitt.
00:19:27
I hate that guy.
00:19:28
does it.
00:19:30
Apparently a lot of people because that movie did really well.
00:19:34
Yeah, unfortunately.
00:19:36
next up we have...
00:19:38
right, is it my turn to read?
00:19:41
International feature film.
00:19:44
This one's easy.
00:19:46
Secret Agent, Was Just an Accident, Sentimental Value, Syrah, and The Voice of Hind Rajab.
00:19:53
Yeah, I think this one's gonna be sentimental value.
00:19:56
same.
00:19:57
Same, same.
00:19:59
Yeah.
00:20:00
An easy one.
00:20:01
I think so, who knows, maybe the voice of Hind Rajab will upset, who's to say?
00:20:07
Not me.
00:20:09
Alright, next up we have live action short film.
00:20:12
Nominees are Butcher Stain, A Friend of Dorothy, Jane Austen's Period Drama, The Singers, Two People, Exchanging Saliva.
00:20:20
As much as I love the name two people exchanging saliva and would be interested in participating in watching that film, mostly watching, maybe participating, I went with the
00:20:31
singers.
00:20:31
I just went with the consensus.
00:20:33
okay.
00:20:34
I went with two people exchanging saliva because I like the name.
00:20:37
I think that's fun.
00:20:39
Friend of Dorothy also sounds great.
00:20:42
Is that not about the wizard at the walls?
00:20:46
Well, so the term a friend of Dorothy was typically used to describe gay people So I'm assuming it's about gays, which I love.
00:20:58
Yeah, so if you ever hear the term a friend of Dorothy, it means they're gay.
00:21:05
Yeah.
00:21:06
I never considered Dorothy my friend until now.
00:21:08
Hmm?
00:21:10
She loves you, she's your friend.
00:21:11
Wow.
00:21:13
Getting close.
00:21:14
Next up is makeup and hair styling.
00:21:17
It's between Frankenstein, Kuko, Kukoho, Kukoho, Kukoho, Kokoho.
00:21:23
Wait, let me do it again.
00:21:25
Kokuhou, Sinners, The Smashing Machine, and the Ugliest Stepsister.
00:21:31
Shout out m
00:21:35
it based off Shrek?
00:21:37
So, no, pretty famously based off of Cinderella, but...
00:21:42
Wha- So is Shrek.
00:21:45
Yeah, so why would this be based off of Shrek and not what Shrek is based off of?
00:21:50
Because Shrek is better than Cinderella.
00:21:52
That seems like-
00:21:52
saying Hamlet is based on The Lion King.
00:21:56
No, it's based on Shakespeare's Hamlet, which actually it's kind of not, but it's like a back story, you know, it's kind of about that.
00:22:04
Great, thanks for spoiling Hamnet for me.
00:22:06
You didn't know?
00:22:08
No, it's not called Hamlet, it's called Hamnet.
00:22:13
You didn't know it was...
00:22:14
Okay, sure, yeah, sorry.
00:22:17
Who's your pick?
00:22:18
for makeup and hair styling, I have Frankenstein.
00:22:23
You as well?
00:22:24
Look at us go.
00:22:26
We don't have as much discourse this year, but that's fun.
00:22:29
Maybe we both, we either win together or we lose together.
00:22:32
Love that for us.
00:22:36
Yeah, as long as I'm not winning more than you, everybody's happy.
00:22:40
yeah.
00:22:41
Next up we have Music Original Score.
00:22:44
Nominees are Begonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, and Sinners.
00:22:52
Yeah, I put sinners.
00:22:55
Not really a choice.
00:22:55
As much as I love Alexandra, just blah.
00:22:58
You did Frankenstein.
00:23:00
It's gotta be sinners.
00:23:03
It's gotta be.
00:23:04
Frankenstein was kind of a nothing burger.
00:23:07
Begonia was fun.
00:23:09
Yeah, didn't...
00:23:10
Listen, if I notice the score, I'm like, it's probably good because I don't notice it that often.
00:23:18
Sorry.
00:23:19
I did notice the score in begonia.
00:23:23
It was very good, however.
00:23:25
Ludwig Gorn sends my goat.
00:23:27
I gotta give it to sinners.
00:23:29
Yeah, for sure.
00:23:31
That one I feel like is almost like
00:23:34
A lock.
00:23:35
If Sinners doesn't win, that's crazy.
00:23:37
yeah, I agree.
00:23:39
Yeah, for those nominees, I agree.
00:23:42
Next is music original song It's between dear me from Diane Warren golden from kpop demon hunters I lied to you from sinners sweet dreams of joy from Viva Verde and train dreams
00:23:57
from train
00:23:59
I keep going back and forth on this one.
00:24:02
think it's going to be golden and nothing, it's a great song.
00:24:07
I loved K-Pop Demon Hunters.
00:24:09
I'm not trying to like shit on it at all.
00:24:11
I just think like...
00:24:13
I lied to you is streets ahead, you know?
00:24:18
So I'm deciding if I want to just sit in my disappointment if I choose it and it doesn't get it.
00:24:25
But I think I have to live my personal truth and just be disappointed.
00:24:29
So I'm going to go, lied to you.
00:24:32
What about you?
00:24:36
You're here to win.
00:24:37
oh
00:24:38
Which is ironic because Golden and I Lie to You are not my favorite original songs from either of those movies.
00:24:44
Mine either.
00:24:45
I think I lied to you was fantastic.
00:24:48
Don't get me wrong.
00:24:51
However, last time I seen the sun is unbelievable.
00:24:57
That was my top song for my Spotify rap.
00:25:01
Mm-hmm.
00:25:02
Last, no, not even close.
00:25:06
We have seven more.
00:25:06
We gotta, we gotta get cooking.
00:25:08
we gotta go.
00:25:09
Okay, next up is Best Picture.
00:25:11
Nominees are Begonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Values, Sinners, and Train Dreams.
00:25:21
I win one battle after another, because I don't like disappointment.
00:25:25
Yeah, this was the one where I was like...
00:25:29
That are sinners.
00:25:31
But I also don't know if like, I just want sinners to win.
00:25:35
I mean, listen, yeah, I do.
00:25:36
I want sinners to win everything, but I think one battle's gonna take this picture.
00:25:42
We bounced around a little bit.
00:25:44
Next is production design
00:25:47
sorry, I was just going off the Oscars.org.
00:25:50
So I think your site bounced around.
00:25:54
I think that makes sense because that's usually when it's announced.
00:25:56
It's the last one that is given the award.
00:26:00
alphabetically, picture goes before production design.
00:26:03
Great, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:26:05
So is that what's next for you, production design?
00:26:08
Okay.
00:26:08
It's between Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, one battle after another and sinners.
00:26:16
This one I also gave to Frankenstein.
00:26:19
I know.
00:26:20
I gave this one to centers.
00:26:22
Nice.
00:26:23
I like it.
00:26:25
Yeah.
00:26:27
Cut.
00:26:28
Damn.
00:26:30
Alright, next up, sound.
00:26:32
F1 Frankenstein, one battle after another, Sinners and Sirat.
00:26:37
Yeah, I give that one F1.
00:26:38
That's my F1 pick.
00:26:40
Yeah.
00:26:40
is my 1F1 that gets something.
00:26:41
m
00:26:45
Yeah, they do be making sound.
00:26:47
They, you know, I've heard their sound there.
00:26:50
my god, I lied to you.
00:26:54
I did give Avatar Fire an action.
00:26:56
Yeah, that's crazy.
00:26:57
I was wondering what you gave for this category if it wasn't that.
00:27:03
Dinosaurs is a good bet.
00:27:04
Anyway, we're getting ahead of ourselves.
00:27:06
Mm-hmm.
00:27:07
Is it me?
00:27:08
uh Visual effects.
00:27:12
Avatar, Fire and Ash, F1, Jurassic World Rebirth, The Lost Bus and Sinners.
00:27:17
This is where I gave it to Fire and Ash.
00:27:20
Yeah, I also gave it to Fire and Ash.
00:27:22
It just makes sense.
00:27:25
Mm-hmm.
00:27:27
It's an achievement for sure.
00:27:29
Yeah.
00:27:31
Two more.
00:27:32
Alright next, writing adapted screenplay.
00:27:36
got Begonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, and Train Dreams.
00:27:42
I did one battle after another.
00:27:44
I did as well.
00:27:47
seems reasonable.
00:27:50
Yeah, I feel like that's.
00:27:54
The obvious choice maybe, but.
00:28:36
okay, last category.
00:27:57
Writing original screenplay.
00:28:02
Blue moon, it was just an accident.
00:28:03
Marty Supreme, sentimental value and sinners.
00:28:08
Sinners.
00:28:09
Sinners, sinners, sinners.
00:28:11
Yeah, if not Marty Supreme, but I think it's a long shot for Marty.
00:28:17
Mm.
00:28:18
I just don't see how something with a scene of Mr.
00:28:22
Wonderful spanking a little white boy wins against sinners.
00:28:29
Yeah.
00:28:30
Did you know that that happened in that movie?
00:28:32
Wish I didn't.
00:28:34
No, it's fine.
00:28:37
Sometimes you have to hear something that ruins your whole day, you know?
00:28:40
Yeah.
00:28:41
Oh, is this the first time you're hearing it?
00:28:44
you know Mr.
00:28:45
Wonderful from Shark Tank.
00:28:46
I knew he was in it because he's the worst and he won't stop talking, but I did not know that happened.
00:28:57
Genuinely, that doesn't seem like a movie I'm ever gonna watch, but...
00:29:02
Bare-assed.
00:29:04
No butt double.
00:29:06
It is him spanking Timothee Chalamet with a ping pong paddle.
00:29:12
That's great.
00:29:13
What a segue, too.
00:29:15
Let's talk about bare asses because there is one in the movie we're talking about today.
00:29:19
There we go.
00:29:21
And honestly, thank God for both of us.
00:29:24
ah Yes.
00:29:25
Thank God for me.
00:29:27
Thank God for my friend Caleb who went to see the movie with me who also loves Dylan O'Brien.
00:29:31
Shout out to Caleb.
00:29:34
Hi, Caleb.
00:29:35
Yeah, it was just a great time for anybody who loves Dylan O'Brien and wants to see his butt.
00:29:41
Let's talk about Send Help!
00:29:44
Give us an overview.
00:29:46
All right, little summary.
00:29:48
A woman and her overbearing boss become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash.
00:29:52
They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive or not.
00:29:56
But ultimately it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.
00:30:00
That's from Google.
00:30:02
This is directed by Sam Ramey.
00:30:04
It's written by Damien Shannon and Mark Swift.
00:30:06
It stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien.
00:30:08
It had a budget of $40 million and I need to look up how much it's made now because I wrote this.
00:30:14
last weekend and I know it's made more.
00:30:18
It currently has made $36.7 million at the box office.
00:30:24
It's still out, so it's on its way to recovering its money, but it has been top of the box office, so that's good.
00:30:31
It currently has a 7.2 out of 10 on IMDB, a 3.5 out of 5 on Letterboxd, an 87 % audience score, and a 93 % critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:30:42
Wow, they like it.
00:30:46
The people like it.
00:30:49
The critics like it too.
00:30:51
Yeah, just people in general.
00:30:54
Yeah, everybody likes it.
00:30:56
Do we like it?
00:30:59
Stick around for 22 more minutes.
00:31:01
It's very specific.
00:31:05
Do you want me to talk more?
00:31:08
Oh great!
00:31:08
Yeah, whatever you feel it in your heart.
00:31:10
I just didn't.
00:31:12
I don't know where to start.
00:31:13
Yeah.
00:31:15
Lots of parallels to other films.
00:31:18
Misery for one, which I see it.
00:31:22
Yeah.
00:31:24
Castaway seems like a amateur comparison.
00:31:30
Like, just because you're stuck on an island doesn't mean that it's Castaway.
00:31:33
Exactly.
00:31:34
I also thought it was funny that those two movies, that's like one of the first INDB facts, is like, oh yeah, it's pretty similar to these things.
00:31:42
Because one of the first interviews I saw about this movie on the press tour was Sam Rami being like, yeah, we really tried to like not have those comparisons.
00:31:51
He's like, I don't know if it worked or not, but so, poor Sam Rami.
00:31:56
I don't think it worked.
00:31:57
I can sort of see misery, but and then lost which just because you plane your plane crashes on an island.
00:32:06
Again, very loose and survivor.
00:32:11
I don't know if they meant the show, but that also feels like a very loose like, of course, survivors in the movie.
00:32:19
It's a major plot point.
00:32:21
nodding towards that.
00:32:24
Which also, by the way, apparently Jeff Probst, they reached out to him to try to get him to have a cameo at the end.
00:32:30
And he couldn't, he said yes, but they couldn't make it work scheduling wise.
00:32:36
Yeah, I know.
00:32:38
He seems sad about it though.
00:32:40
So, cause it was him in an interview talking about it.
00:32:43
He's like, yeah, he reached out to me and I was like, my gosh, this is so cool.
00:32:47
And then it just, there was like no overlap in their schedules that they could make it work.
00:32:51
And I was like, that would have been cool.
00:32:54
Why not just let Mr.
00:32:55
Beast host the show for a day?
00:32:58
I'm gonna kill myself.
00:33:00
What are you talking about?
00:33:02
That he does.
00:33:04
I know, that's why I can't- I'm sorry, I know, I know it's annoying.
00:33:08
I don't like New Survivor, I'm sorry.
00:33:11
Get Mr.
00:33:11
Beast out of here!
00:33:13
Period.
00:33:15
happily watched Survivor since Redemption Island.
00:33:19
I haven't happily watched it since they kept going back to Fiji.
00:33:25
Yeah, what happened to different islands?
00:33:27
We don't want the same island.
00:33:29
And that island is too close to a resort.
00:33:32
And it takes away the survivor aspect of it, because they know how to survive on Fiji.
00:33:37
Everybody does at this point.
00:33:39
Yeah.
00:33:40
Yeah.
00:33:40
Bring him to Phoenix.
00:33:42
The streets.
00:33:43
Like, downtown.
00:33:45
some Phoenix, Arizona!
00:33:47
Just drop a man.
00:33:48
It's like 30 degrees hotter in downtown Phoenix than it is in the desert.
00:33:55
They'd never make it.
00:33:58
Anyway, the biggest comparison, the one that people seem to like actually sit with is Triangle of Sadness, which I haven't seen.
00:34:06
Yeah.
00:34:07
Does that resonate?
00:34:10
So when we did our predictions, I had you do it because...
00:34:18
Mm-hmm.
00:34:19
a spoiler-free review and said that the reveal at the end was similar to another film, and I immediately knew it was Triangle of Sadness.
00:34:27
So I went into the movie knowing, or having a pretty good idea that there was going to be.
00:34:34
something on that island that is humanity and they were just on the opposite side of it.
00:34:40
However, I will say they made that pretty obvious early on so I wasn't that mad about it being spoiled because I feel like as soon as she was like, don't go to that side of the
00:34:49
island, everybody knew.
00:34:50
So it wasn't, yeah, I was happy that that reveal almost was given away early.
00:34:56
That way I wasn't upset that it was this big twist.
00:34:59
But I do see the comparisons.
00:35:02
However, I will say when I watched Triangle of Sadness, I was like, oh, this is just, you know, an adaptation, not an adaptation, but I was thinking this is just the 2005 hit
00:35:16
Amanda Bynes movie, Love Wrecked, which is the same concept.
00:35:20
So I don't know why they're getting all high and mighty now.
00:35:25
Yeah, because it had already been done before Triangle of Sadness.
00:35:29
Yeah, I don't.
00:35:30
This two of my complaint, you just summarized two of my complaints about this film.
00:35:34
One, it's not original at all.
00:35:40
It just feels very overdone, which is fine.
00:35:43
It was well executed, but it's it just it doesn't feel very original.
00:35:47
And two, it would have been better.
00:35:52
And again, I'm not saying I did not like it, just to be clear.
00:35:56
It just I.
00:35:58
It was given away too early with that comment about, yeah, you'll be scratching your skin off.
00:36:04
There's people over there.
00:36:05
We're not stupid.
00:36:06
Yeah.
00:36:08
See, neither of those bothered me.
00:36:11
But I think that's because at this point, I mean, we talked about it with villains last week too, is there's a lot of movies that that is very similar to, but it's a fresh take
00:36:20
on that idea.
00:36:21
So that doesn't bother me because I feel like everything now is something else.
00:36:25
Everything's been done.
00:36:26
It's so rare to see like a truly original idea.
00:36:32
So.
00:36:33
Yeah, I think this is a very fresh take on tropes we've seen before, so that doesn't bother me.
00:36:39
And then, yeah, I don't know.
00:36:42
I don't think it...
00:36:44
To me, it didn't matter that I knew that because it was more about watching these characters interact and seeing how it all plays out rather than having a big twist or
00:36:55
something like that.
00:36:55
Like, that didn't matter as much to me.
00:36:59
but I could see how you might want something like that.
00:37:01
Yeah.
00:37:03
It's not my biggest complaint with this movie.
00:37:06
Ooh, I'll say that.
00:37:09
Wow.
00:37:11
Teaser.
00:37:14
What is your biggest complaint with this movie?
00:37:16
not enough Dylan O'Brien at.
00:37:18
No, I'm kidding.
00:37:18
ah My biggest complaint with this movie is that I feel like some of the CGI is not that good.
00:37:25
Some of the special effects.
00:37:28
It was like, yeah, Remy hasn't made a horror movie since 2009, you know?
00:37:33
But I also feel like that's kind of his...
00:37:36
can't be zany vibe.
00:37:39
So not a huge complaint, just...
00:37:42
yeah.
00:37:43
Sometimes visually I was like, yeah.
00:37:47
I mean, the airplane crash, the bore, both.
00:37:52
Yeah, a little egregious.
00:37:55
But yeah, it added to the zaniness.
00:37:59
wasn't.
00:37:59
Yeah, but I did.
00:38:01
not expecting.
00:38:03
I mean, I was expecting a plane crash.
00:38:05
I was not expecting it to happen the way it happened.
00:38:09
I was laughing so hard during that whole sequence.
00:38:15
Him just like hitting her window and she just puts the shade down.
00:38:21
So funny.
00:38:22
Yes, I giggled more at the boar scene.
00:38:25
thought that was funny and visceral and it helps.
00:38:31
yeah.
00:38:31
Not that I knew it was gonna be a horror comedy, but it was pretty funny.
00:38:35
it was very funny.
00:38:37
But no, I forgot what I was gonna say.
00:38:39
special effects.
00:38:41
yeah, I even went so far as to Google if they had used AI at all because it was just like not put together well, but that it, can't find any sources that say that it was that, so.
00:38:52
It didn't look AI to me.
00:38:53
It looked just kind of like not the best CGI ever, you know?
00:38:59
yeah.
00:39:00
Let me tell you what, I can fucking spot it.
00:39:03
Coyotes walked out.
00:39:04
I knew immediately it was AI.
00:39:06
I was like, that is an AI coyote if I've ever fucking seen one.
00:39:10
mm-hmm.
00:39:12
But yeah, so be happy to know there were no sources saying or even speculating whether it was AI.
00:39:16
So I was just.
00:39:18
I didn't have that concern.
00:39:19
I don't think Sam Raimi is that guy.
00:39:21
I don't think he's the type.
00:39:23
Because he'll do practical as much as he can.
00:39:27
I think that's just like his 80s roots.
00:39:29
Why didn't he just do a plane crash thing?
00:39:31
Crash a real plane.
00:39:34
Was that too much to ask?
00:39:35
he can.
00:39:37
Well, how much could a plane cost?
00:39:40
Less than CGI, I'm sure.
00:39:42
Do it twice, and it won't cost as much as your shit CGI.
00:39:46
I CGI is a little less expensive than you think it is.
00:39:51
Yeah, okay.
00:39:54
You mentioned it, this was Sam Raimi's first horror movie since 2009.
00:39:59
Mm-hmm.
00:40:01
and his first film at all since twenty twenty two.
00:40:06
Yeah, which that's not crazy, but I know a lot of people were excited to have him back in the horror realm.
00:40:17
Yeah, I'd never watched any interviews with him until...
00:40:20
this morning and they were...
00:40:23
he's kind of fun and quirky and just like a cute little guy.
00:40:26
Yeah, I like him a lot.
00:40:30
I don't like his...
00:40:31
I don't like a couple of his movies.
00:40:34
But I do like him.
00:40:37
Which ones, Katie?
00:40:38
Tell me which ones.
00:40:39
I think you know.
00:40:43
Yeah.
00:40:44
Bruce Campbell was in this movie.
00:40:46
Yep, which he typically has cameos, but...
00:40:50
just a little one.
00:40:52
He's the what he's the CEO that dies or whatever in like a picture.
00:40:57
Yeah, he's Bradley's father.
00:41:01
Yep.
00:41:03
Which makes sense.
00:41:05
Longtime friends.
00:41:07
Longtime collabs.
00:41:10
which Rachel McAdams also was in.
00:41:12
Doctor Strange.
00:41:15
Yeah, at this point I feel like everybody and their mother has been in a multiverse movie.
00:41:21
So I'm not surprised.
00:41:22
I didn't know Rachel McAdams was in it, but I'm not surprised.
00:41:27
Yeah, I don't think I knew she was either, but I also haven't seen like any Marvel movie since Iron Man, so not surprising.
00:41:39
not even Iron Man 2.
00:41:42
Maybe?
00:41:43
Oh, I may have watched the first Avengers too.
00:41:46
I don't remember.
00:41:49
I mean, Endgame is a great place to end.
00:41:53
So you weren't far off.
00:41:55
is that right after that?
00:41:57
Couple movies after.
00:41:59
okay.
00:42:00
Maybe one day I'll.
00:42:04
Watch them.
00:42:07
Yeah, we're not.
00:42:08
Probably not, but who's to say?
00:42:11
Yeah, who knows?
00:42:13
Speaking of Bruce Campbell, though, this film is dedicated to Scott Spiegel, who's a former classmate and longtime friend of both Sam and Bruce.
00:42:20
He passed away last year.
00:42:23
So they dedicate this one to him.
00:42:26
Very sweet.
00:42:29
It also has a little Easter egg, which all of Remy's films have the 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88, which was Ash's car in The Evil Dead.
00:42:40
I think that's the first time he did that.
00:42:43
Just kind of been a recurring thing.
00:42:46
Throw the Oldsmobile into any movie.
00:42:48
I like it.
00:42:51
Yep.
00:42:52
But you can see it in the parking garage at the beginning of the movie, behind Linda.
00:42:59
Cute.
00:43:00
was honestly, I was wondering, didn't recognize it as an Easter egg.
00:43:06
I was wondering what that car was doing there.
00:43:09
Like, why would that be there?
00:43:11
Yep, little nod to their roots.
00:43:13
Yeah, cute.
00:43:16
I have like one more Evil Dead fact.
00:43:18
In an interview, Sam Rami was asked if it was Ash versus Linda who would win.
00:43:25
If they had to go head to head.
00:43:27
He said she would definitely out think him, outsmart him and outplay him.
00:43:31
But he's got a chainsaw, so I might give it to him.
00:43:35
Yeah, a lot of the cast was also at, including Sam, were asked about whether or not they would survive on Survivor.
00:43:42
Mm-hmm.
00:43:43
Sam Raimi said no, Dylan O'Brien said absolutely not, and Rachel McAdams was tentative about whether she would survive or not.
00:43:54
Yeah.
00:43:55
The press tour for this movie?
00:43:56
Kind of.
00:43:57
I've been living for it.
00:43:58
I'm a little obsessed with it.
00:44:02
Dylan and Rachel are very funny together.
00:44:06
And I just love how in every interview he somehow manages to bring up how much he loves the hot chick.
00:44:12
So I think that's really funny.
00:44:14
Because same.
00:44:16
Great film.
00:44:17
yeah.
00:44:19
Also, did you see the one where he was talking about when they were discussing their characters and stuff?
00:44:27
And he said Rachel was just like, yeah, you're playing a guy who's a bully.
00:44:33
I played a bully once in a little movie about high school.
00:44:37
He was just like, are you talking about Mean Girls?
00:44:39
What the fuck?
00:44:40
Everybody's seen that movie.
00:44:41
She's just apparently that type of person where she's just like, yeah.
00:44:47
I was in this movie, you might not have heard of it, and everybody's heard of it.
00:44:51
Yeah.
00:44:53
Which there's an homage to Mean Girls in this film where she's singing one way or another at the end.
00:44:58
Mm-hmm.
00:45:01
That was in Mean Girls.
00:45:04
I had a time where I hated Mean Girls, but I'm back on the Mean Girls loving train.
00:45:09
Oh, why did you hate it?
00:45:11
Were you a mean girl?
00:45:13
You were like, it was hard to see yourself portrayed like that.
00:45:17
somebody on the cast was dragging the company that I work for and I was at the sort of like butt end of it, but like in hindsight, I wish they would just continue to do that
00:45:27
now.
00:45:28
Yeah, I remember you being upset about that and I remember thinking, I hope he's meaner.
00:45:34
oh
00:45:36
Yeah.
00:45:36
I mean, I...
00:45:38
It was personally affecting me because I was the one that had to deal with it.
00:45:42
But now?
00:45:43
Feel free.
00:45:44
Terrible company.
00:45:47
Yeah.
00:45:49
recommend bashing it online if you're a celebrity.
00:45:52
sure.
00:45:52
Anyone.
00:45:53
Anyone.
00:45:55
Yeah, no, more about Survivor and press tours.
00:45:59
They even tossed around the idea of Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien having a Survivor crossover.
00:46:05
I don't know if it was part of the...
00:46:07
where they've had Mr.
00:46:09
Beast and all that on the game.
00:46:11
I don't know.
00:46:12
But they tossed it around and unfortunately it never came to be.
00:46:16
Depressie.
00:46:17
Yeah, it would have been fun.
00:46:20
Apparently they shot all of the Linda Little, her audition for Survivor.
00:46:26
They shot it just in one afternoon on an iPhone, just to kind of make it a little bit more realistic of what she would actually do.
00:46:35
But Remy said that they just did one day of rehearsal and then it was either the next day or a couple days later they just shot everything.
00:46:44
And he said Rachel contributed a lot to what her character was going to be doing.
00:46:48
m
00:46:49
He said that it was a lot of fun and also insane to watch an actor like Rachel just like through an iPhone.
00:46:57
was like, that was kind of a crazy thing to just.
00:47:00
which I can imagine.
00:47:02
She's very good.
00:47:04
That's my lie in two truths and a lie.
00:47:07
Is that you're friends with Rachel McAdams?
00:47:09
Or that you shot her through an iPhone?
00:47:10
Nope.
00:47:11
That I've applied to Survivor.
00:47:14
Oh great, that's believable, I would believe that.
00:47:16
Yeah.
00:47:20
I would, I would.
00:47:21
If I had time and if I could get away from work, I would apply to Survivor.
00:47:25
And I feel like I could be cast.
00:47:27
Yeah.
00:47:29
I could see you on Survivor.
00:47:30
Yeah.
00:47:32
I don't think I'd win.
00:47:34
I don't have the social game for that.
00:47:38
Or the physical game.
00:47:39
I don't have any of the game for that, actually.
00:47:42
You're just happy to be there.
00:47:43
Yeah, I don't have to drink water, so I'd be good at that.
00:47:48
just dead in two days.
00:47:49
That's about to you.
00:47:51
No, no, I'm really good at not drinking.
00:47:52
I didn't drink water for years.
00:47:55
You are so hard to be friends with Katie.
00:47:58
Well, now I drink water, except for the last few days, but like now I drink water all the time.
00:48:04
I'm drinking over 100 ounces of water every day at minimum.
00:48:08
Usually it's more than 150.
00:48:10
Good.
00:48:11
I drink a lot of water.
00:48:13
Now.
00:48:15
Finally.
00:48:15
You got to make up for the five years you didn't.
00:48:18
Yeah, not a damn thing's changed.
00:48:21
My skin still sucks.
00:48:23
I don't have any more energy.
00:48:25
My bladder still gets infected.
00:48:28
Unfortunate.
00:48:30
Anyways, back to this film.
00:48:32
Mm-hmm.
00:48:34
Apparently it was hard to Dylan O'Brien's role.
00:48:39
Apparently, according to Sam Raimi, there were quite a few actors who like they would meet with, actors would express interest in doing the film.
00:48:49
And then after like sitting down with Raimi and McAdams, they would back out.
00:48:55
No real explanation on why.
00:48:58
Maybe it was the copious amounts of fluids that were going to be thrown in their face.
00:49:02
Who's to say?
00:49:03
But he said it was just difficult.
00:49:06
They kept being like, maybe it's this person and then they'd back out or it just didn't click with Rachel or whatever would happen.
00:49:12
And then finally, Zanaba Zizi, who I think produced this movie and has worked with Sam Raimi a lot, I think suggested Dylan O'Brien.
00:49:23
And Raimi was like, yeah, I love his movies.
00:49:25
Get him in here.
00:49:25
And he said yes and they were like, perfect, let's do this.
00:49:29
And Rachel McAdams was actually why he said yes.
00:49:32
I mean, I would also say yes because of her.
00:49:37
Speaking on the fluids, you mentioned the fluids.
00:49:41
Whenever anyone was getting blood on their face in this film, it's Sam Ramey behind the camera throwing the blood.
00:49:46
And Rachel McAdams said it was a right of passage for to get Sam Ramey to throw blood on her face.
00:49:51
eh And he said, Sam Ramey said that nobody does it as well as he does.
00:49:56
So that's why he's got to do it.
00:49:58
Yeah, I think I saw that same interview.
00:50:00
He was talking about how very early on in his career, he realized how much of a pain in the ass it is to throw the liquids or the fluids or whatever and then have to reset
00:50:12
everything because you can't just do another take.
00:50:14
You have to reset the actor and they have to go through hair and makeup and all that kind of stuff.
00:50:18
And he said it only took him a couple of times of an assistant not getting it right for him to just take it over and be like, I'm going to do it.
00:50:28
We're not wasting any more time or money.
00:50:31
So fair.
00:50:33
I feel that way about a lot of my work.
00:50:35
Might as well just do it myself.
00:50:38
Yeah, big vibes, Sam Raimi.
00:50:41
Yeah.
00:50:42
Also, apparently Rachel McAdams did not like the...
00:50:48
the vomiting scene.
00:50:49
She just keeps throwing up on Dylan O'Brien's face.
00:50:53
Well, I thought it was funny that she, in the interview I saw, like, she was getting visibly...
00:51:00
nauseous about thinking about that scene, and I was like, you didn't even have it...
00:51:05
Like, Dylan's the one that had it all over his face just piling on every two seconds.
00:51:12
Yeah, that was the worst.
00:51:13
That was so uncomfortable.
00:51:15
Absolutely disgusting.
00:51:18
It was so funny.
00:51:19
That's like the one kink I don't have.
00:51:22
Oh!
00:51:24
No, not too much.
00:51:25
Well, I just, that was not in my brain at all, but sure, yeah, no king-shaming here.
00:51:32
Not for me.
00:51:33
That's how I thought it was funny.
00:51:35
I just thought it was funny because it just kept going.
00:51:39
She would just stop and then, more and then stop.
00:51:43
uh Which that apparently he said when he was, when they were working with the editor for the movie is basically like an ongoing thing where they
00:51:53
watch scenes back and be like, was it enough?
00:51:57
And if they were ever questioning it, it was just keep going.
00:52:00
Just keep doing it more and more until it's just at the point where you're done.
00:52:05
So that had to be one of those moments where they were like, yeah, just vomit on him one more time.
00:52:11
Mm-hmm.
00:52:12
Mm-hmm.
00:52:14
Ew.
00:52:16
Well, do you have any other fun facts?
00:52:18
Yeah, I'll tie this up a little bit with the survival stuff.
00:52:23
Sam Raimi set out to make the most authentic survival movie ever, according to the survivalist, Kylie Ferneau, that they hired to consult on the film.
00:52:31
Mm-hmm.
00:52:32
And Rachel did as many of her own stunts as possible.
00:52:35
Her stunt double described her as jumping out of trees, participating in the fight scenes, like really getting into her role.
00:52:42
But yeah, the survivalist expert, Kylie, built the camp shelter, built a bunch of the tools, weapons, survival items.
00:52:50
She taught Rachel McAdams how to make a fire and collect drinking water.
00:52:52
And after all of that, Rachel said that her favorite and most impressive skill that she took away from filming was being able to open up a...
00:53:04
but useful.
00:53:07
Mm-hmm.
00:53:09
Gotta get your fluids.
00:53:11
Yeah.
00:53:13
But no, even Kylie Furnow said that Rachel did such a good job at her movements and her hand positions and the way she would crouch, like walk around was all very authentic.
00:53:29
Yeah, I like that.
00:53:31
feel like this a lot of this press story has just been people bragging about her, which I'm happy because somehow she's still underrated to me.
00:53:38
don't like I don't know why people don't talk about her more.
00:53:41
think she's fantastic.
00:53:44
Yeah, I know Sam Raimi said something about how she always like approaches things so earnestly.
00:53:51
Even if it's the dumbest thing he's ever told her to do, she'll just be like, okay, yeah, like, where should I go from here?
00:53:57
Like, how do you want me to block this out?
00:53:59
And he's telling her to like, fight ghosts or something stupid.
00:54:03
She's just like, yeah, sure, what do you need?
00:54:05
How do I make this good?
00:54:06
Yeah, she seems like a very nice person.
00:54:12
Yeah, down to earth for sure.
00:54:15
I've got one more unless you have some.
00:54:17
No, please.
00:54:18
Wrap us up.
00:54:20
Yeah, this one's uh just interesting because it's not something that you would typically think about in making a movie.
00:54:25
But one thing that Sam Raimi found was surprising about film and this movie in particular was that they were scouting in Phuket and he found the beach that he wanted to be sort of
00:54:33
like the primary location and started sort of like scheduling out times to shoot based on where the sun would be.
00:54:39
And he's like, yeah, in the morning I want to shoot this scene here on this beach.
00:54:43
And all of those scheduling times were shot down because the beach wouldn't be there at those times.
00:54:48
So he had to hire a tide master to be on set to help navigate when he could be in certain places on the beach to be able to film.
00:54:58
I thought that was just really like an interesting nuance of filming on that particular location.
00:55:04
Yeah, that's something you...
00:55:06
It makes so much sense, but you wouldn't think about it.
00:55:08
You'd be like, yeah, this is a great place for this scene.
00:55:11
And they're like, you have these hours that you can do it there otherwise.
00:55:16
That beach is not there.
00:55:17
Yeah.
00:55:19
That's funny.
00:55:20
I like that.
00:55:21
me too.
00:55:23
Okay, let's rate it.
00:55:25
Hot, let's do it.
00:55:27
How scary did you think it was?
00:55:29
I gave it a one.
00:55:30
It's not really scary at all, but I will say, like, there were a couple classic Rami jump scares, and the dream one did get me, so I was like, I'll give it a little...
00:55:40
little bump.
00:55:41
What about you?
00:55:42
And the jump scares didn't really bother me.
00:55:45
I wouldn't give, they scared me, but I wouldn't consider it part of what made this movie scary.
00:55:50
The only thing that made this movie scary was the plane crash of it all, so I gave it a one for that.
00:55:56
Okay.
00:55:58
I think I was laughing too hard during the plane crash scene to be freaked out by it.
00:56:04
but it is scary idea.
00:56:06
Yeah, it's just the idea of it, Yeah.
00:56:07
oh
00:56:12
How sexy did you think it was?
00:56:14
I gave it a 3.5.
00:56:18
Just like a lot of people covered in blood, I would like to survive on an island with no technology or responsibilities other than collecting drinking water and eating bugs.
00:56:33
Yeah.
00:56:35
Yeah, Dono O'Brien's in it and his butt's in it.
00:56:38
That's fun.
00:56:40
I think this really is a dream for many viewers.
00:56:44
For sure.
00:56:47
I also gave it a 3.5.
00:56:48
I think, yeah, cast, a lot of the vibes, setting, all make it go up, but I did have to subtract some points for the fluence.
00:57:04
It was a little, yeah, very Sam Remme of him to just have snot and puke everywhere.
00:57:12
Ew.
00:57:14
My god, my daughter sneezed this morning.
00:57:15
She asked me if I wanted pancakes.
00:57:16
I was like, yeah, sure.
00:57:17
She goes and gets everything out and is over the stove and sneezed a huge line of snot all over herself and in the direction of the pancakes.
00:57:25
I'm like, you know what?
00:57:27
I'll have a bowl of cereal.
00:57:30
for some reason I am no longer hungry.
00:57:34
That's funny.
00:57:36
How fucked up did you think it was?
00:57:39
You know, I have a 1.5 written here, and now I'm trying to figure out why I gave it that score.
00:57:47
I'm sure there's something.
00:57:50
I also gave it a 1.5 for what it's worth.
00:57:52
Great, so I'm right.
00:57:54
I just don't know why.
00:57:56
I mean, I'll give you, can tell you why I did.
00:57:59
Okay, yeah, maybe the fluids, that's a little...
00:58:03
Yeah.
00:58:04
I also thought it was sad that she killed the guy that was like trying to help the fiance.
00:58:10
I was like, aww.
00:58:13
They didn't really do nothing wrong.
00:58:15
The fiance little sus, because why are you with this guy?
00:58:17
He sucks.
00:58:18
that guy didn't, the tour guide, he didn't do anything, or I guess not tour guide, but...
00:58:24
the guy who was running the boat, the Capitan.
00:58:28
Why did you give it?
00:58:30
Yeah, the vomiting for sure.
00:58:32
And also, as I loved the scene with the rat and the octopus, obsessed with that scene.
00:58:41
Holy shit.
00:58:43
So funny.
00:58:44
friend, Caleb - man.
00:58:46
And he was like, squirming.
00:58:48
And me and my friend Sarah, who is also there, were on both sides of him and we were just like giggling and kicking our feet the whole time.
00:58:56
That was, I mean, it was fucked up for sure.
00:59:01
So I think so, too.
00:59:03
I was hoping she was doing it.
00:59:04
I was like, yes, yes.
00:59:06
And then when she pulled out, such a huge power play, like, my God.
00:59:12
Yeah, that scene was great.
00:59:14
Yeah, but fucked up all the same, so 1.5.
00:59:16
Mm-hmm.
00:59:18
All right, overall, what did you think of Send Help?
00:59:22
I mean, I spoiled a little bit my minor disappointments with this film were that it was a little predictable.
00:59:30
eh It wasn't like terribly original.
00:59:34
I would have preferred a slower burn to the the twist.
00:59:39
eh I just like saw it coming from 10 minutes into the film, which was a little is what it is, but still so well executed, so fun and funny, well acted.
00:59:51
Beautiful like the location the filming was beautiful.
00:59:54
I love a survivor tie.
00:59:56
I love survivor.
00:59:58
I Gave it a 4.5
01:00:00
Hell yeah!
01:00:02
I really liked it and I really want to watch it again.
01:00:04
I would love for my husband to able to watch it, but there was an eye thing.
01:00:06
that was the other fucked up thing I didn't like.
01:00:08
Oh yeah, their fight near the end.
01:00:10
He like scalps her and gouges her up.
01:00:14
You're right, yeah that ending scene I was like, shit.
01:00:18
Very funny.
01:00:19
but like in a very graphic, like, should I be enjoying this as much as I am kind of way?
01:00:27
I think that's kind of Remy's whole vibe.
01:00:30
It's just, what the fuck is happening here?
01:00:33
For sure.
01:00:35
I like it, yeah.
01:00:36
I also very much enjoyed this movie.
01:00:39
Trashuary?
01:00:40
Over.
01:00:41
Cancelled.
01:00:42
Good movies are coming, we are back to good movies coming out in January.
01:00:47
Yeah, I agree.
01:00:48
Trash-weary.
01:00:48
It's done.
01:00:49
yeah, yeah, it's over, it's canceled.
01:00:51
This was great, I really enjoyed it.
01:00:53
I think both Dylan and Rachel are very, underrated actors and I'm glad that they're finally kind of like getting their flowers a little bit.
01:01:01
So I was very happy with their performances.
01:01:05
Sam Raimi just has that like very specific brand of zaniness that I think either works or it doesn't.
01:01:16
This very much worked for me.
01:01:17
I loved that they leaned into the camp.
01:01:19
I love that they kind of just pushed everything a little bit too far almost, but to the point where it worked.
01:01:26
Yeah, some of the special effects took me out a little bit with, I think especially the boar scene, but it was kind of just...
01:01:35
I don't know.
01:01:36
Sometimes I'm willing to forgive it.
01:01:38
I feel like I was more willing to forgive it this time.
01:01:41
So overall, I gave it a four out of five.
01:01:43
Not that far off.
01:01:44
Half a point.
01:01:47
Yeah, great film.
01:01:50
I know.
01:01:51
Well, whatever.
01:01:52
Still highly recommend.
01:01:53
Great film.
01:01:55
Yeah, go and see it.
01:01:56
Send Help if it's still out by the time this episode releases.
01:02:02
Alright, most importantly though, would you survive?
01:02:07
think that I've watched enough of Survivor and learned enough about survivalism to be able to survive until I saw that first boat.
01:02:17
Mmm.
01:02:19
At which point I would say, let's get off this island.
01:02:23
But with a little asterisk that I do understand wanting to keep myself stranded on an island with Dylan O'Brien.
01:02:31
Mm-hmm.
01:02:32
If I'm putting myself like actually in my shoes and it's like actually my real boss, we're getting out of there as soon as possible.
01:02:41
Boss, like prior bosses?
01:02:44
Maybe I stick around a little bit extra, cause some psychological warfare.
01:02:50
But yeah, I think overall I survive.
01:02:53
Whether or not I get the hero's welcome and treatment that Rachel McAdams' character gets at the end is up for debate, but I'm alive.
01:03:02
Yeah, for sure.
01:03:03
Yeah.
01:03:04
How about you?
01:03:06
Yeah, I think if I survive the plane crash, which that's the whole premise, so I think we're saying we do, I'm definitely not a Bradley.
01:03:14
I'm not really a Linda, but I'm probably more of a Linda than I am a Bradley.
01:03:20
However, where me and Linda differ is that I am not trying to stay on that island.
01:03:26
I'm good.
01:03:26
So yeah, as soon as I saw the first boat, or as soon as I found the house on the other side of the island, I'm out.
01:03:33
We're good.
01:03:34
We're getting out.
01:03:35
I agree, me and my current CEO, we're having a great time.
01:03:40
We're getting out together.
01:03:42
Me and her against the world.
01:03:44
Yeah.
01:03:46
previous CEO, a little bit more like Bradley, but I guess we're getting off.
01:03:55
we're getting off the island because I'm not staying.
01:03:57
That's crazy.
01:03:59
I think I have seen enough.
01:04:00
I have enough skills that I could at least last until help got there, which as we know was it didn't take that long.
01:04:10
So.
01:04:11
I think I'm good, especially if I find that house, which I think would be my first game plan if I'm getting stranded on an island is to circle it.
01:04:19
I'm gonna get my bearings and see where we're at and if we are on a deserted island.
01:04:24
So as soon as I saw that house, bye.
01:04:30
Great, well, fun movie.
01:04:32
Glad we both enjoyed it.
01:04:33
Very fun theater experience.
01:04:36
It was good.
01:04:36
All right, do you want to tell us about next week's movie?
01:04:42
Is it still the dark and the wicked?
01:04:44
Sure is.
01:04:46
Okay, the only vibes I got off of this movie from the title are that it's set in the same time as the witch.
01:04:55
Very similar vibes, basically black and white, natural lighting.
01:04:59
And it's about a family that kidnaps elderly people and sells them to a cult of cannibals.
01:05:07
Jesus.
01:05:08
Yeah.
01:05:10
Yeah, so the family is the dark and the people eating the people are the wicked.
01:05:18
It's like two separate people doing really bad stuff.
01:05:21
For sure, for sure.
01:05:23
Yeah.
01:05:25
Great.
01:05:26
How does it end?
01:05:26
Do they just keep, they keep going?
01:05:29
I think one of the old people figures out that they're being sold to like, because it's like not, it's kind of like the giver where like the babies don't know that they're going
01:05:41
to be killed, you know?
01:05:44
And they're like, yay.
01:05:47
God, I forgot you haven't read that yet.
01:05:51
It was about, like, a black and white world of colorlessness.
01:05:56
I didn't know babies were getting killed.
01:05:58
It's crazy.
01:05:59
Sorry.
01:06:00
Spoiler alert!
01:06:01
Lois Lowry calm down.
01:06:04
I fucking love that.
01:06:07
ah But anyway, I think one of the adults is like sentient enough to know like, oh shit, like I'm not going to like my promised retirement sort of I'm going to be eaten.
01:06:25
They fight back and they die because they're old, but it dismantles the system.
01:06:31
they cause enough of an upset to save the future elderly.
01:06:37
Mm-hmm.
01:06:40
Sounds great.
01:06:41
That's not the movie we're gonna watch, but sounds interesting.
01:06:48
Yeah, no, not really anything.
01:06:50
But one of these days we'll start writing one of the movies that I come up with off top of my head.
01:06:55
yeah, for sure.
01:06:56
I would love that.
01:06:59
Alright, well, we're gonna watch The Dark and the Weak next week.
01:07:04
And do you want to go in blind?
01:07:07
You always do.
01:07:08
Yeah, great.
01:07:09
Great.
01:07:09
Love that.
01:07:10
I won't even tell you a little bit about it.
01:07:12
Good.
01:07:14
Alright, awesome.
01:07:14
Well, thank you guys for listening.
01:07:16
I'm glad we both enjoyed Send Help.
01:07:18
I was rooting for this movie so hard.
01:07:20
I'm so glad it was good.
01:07:23
I wanted it to be good in my heart of hearts, so I'm very happy.
01:07:29
But yeah, that was great.
01:07:30
Let us know in the comments.
01:07:33
Let us know your Oscar predictions.
01:07:35
Yeah, we asked that last week, but for real now.
01:07:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but actually do it this time.
01:07:39
Yeah.
01:07:44
Coming up next month.
01:07:45
I'm excited.
01:07:48
And yeah, we'll see you next week for The Dark and the Wicked.
01:07:53
Bye.
01:07:54
Bye.
