00:00:25
Hello?
00:00:27
Hello, happy Tuesday.
00:00:30
Oh, you beat me to it.
00:00:32
Oh, sniped it right out from under you.
00:00:36
I know, I wanted to feel special this time.
00:00:39
Yeah, well, there you go.
00:00:43
Welcome back to Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:00:46
That's us.
00:00:47
It is.
00:00:49
We've got lots of news.
00:00:52
Horror news.
00:00:53
Yeah.
00:00:54
As a behind the scenes, it's been a few weeks since we filmed.
00:00:58
So there were some news that we had to catch up on.
00:01:03
start.
00:01:04
It was confirmed that Neve Campbell, Neve Campbell?
00:01:08
Neve Campbell.
00:01:10
Neve?
00:01:11
She's coming back.
00:01:12
She's returning for Scream 7 which I feel like I knew was coming.
00:01:17
I feel like they had to because they fucked it up so bad, right?
00:01:22
That I think their only option was offering her a shit ton of money to come
00:01:26
back.
00:01:26
But it still hurt.
00:01:27
I'm really disappointed in her, if I'm being honest.
00:01:30
I wish that she would have just let them fall flat on their f*cking faces because
00:01:34
that's what they deserve.
00:01:37
Yeah.
00:01:38
Also spoiler alert that she's able to come back.
00:01:42
Oh, to you.
00:01:45
For you.
00:01:48
If it helps- I mean, we did discuss, though, in our episode on Scream that it
00:01:52
was Wes Craven's wish that Sidney never dies.
00:01:56
So.
00:01:57
Oh, okay, yeah, that's right.
00:01:58
Spoiler alert, they so far have kept his wishes.
00:02:05
of series that have probably run their course, there is a Paranormal Activity
00:02:11
video game coming out in the next two years or so.
00:02:15
I think they said 2026.
00:02:17
This is like early development, but it's by the makers of Mortuary Assistant.
00:02:22
So it's bound to be pretty spooky.
00:02:24
I did enjoy Mortuary.
00:02:28
It was fun.
00:02:30
confirmed to be an immersive found footage game that explores the lore behind the
00:02:36
activities that are going on.
00:02:38
And it was also revealed, yes, the paranormal activities, if you will.
00:02:43
was also revealed that there's a system in the game where the decisions you make
00:02:47
determine how scary the game actually is.
00:02:52
Okay, interesting.
00:02:56
Yeah, I feel like, I mean, I'm gonna play it.
00:02:59
Let's be honest.
00:03:01
Duh.
00:03:01
Obviously.
00:03:02
next for me, let's talk about Late Night With the Devil.
00:03:08
We do.
00:03:09
I think we do.
00:03:10
Yeah.
00:03:11
It's been talked about a lot.
00:03:12
I'm sure no one has not heard of this, but it was released.
00:03:18
It came to light that they used AI for some transitional images throughout the
00:03:22
film.
00:03:23
And again, a lot of people have talked on it, but we're just going to reiterate what
00:03:26
everybody else is saying.
00:03:27
It sucks.
00:03:28
It's really stupid that they did this and it -
00:03:31
I was really looking forward to this movie and now I'm not going to see it because of
00:03:34
that and that sucks because I wanted to see it.
00:03:39
But I know a lot of people have said it's only like five seconds, it's not that big
00:03:43
of a deal, but we have to put our foot down now because if we don't, it's just
00:03:47
going to get worse.
00:03:48
Next time it'll be 10 seconds and then 30 and then a minute and then 10 and it's
00:03:51
like, we just have to say no, we're not allowing that right now so that they know
00:03:58
that that's where we stand.
00:04:00
Yeah, and to be clear, the reason that it's a problem is because it's taking the
00:04:05
opportunity away from artists
00:04:06
you're taking jobs away from amazing, talented artists so that you can use
00:04:10
cheap, shitty AI instead.
00:04:13
even under the Twitter thread, there were so many artists posting their renditions
00:04:16
of this transitional scene and they were so beautiful and it sucks that they
00:04:20
couldn't have paid someone for that art instead.
00:04:24
I just, it sucks.
00:04:27
If it were a like low budget movie where it is artists that are trying to get their
00:04:37
work out and they don't have the money to pay other artists, maybe it would have
00:04:42
been okay.
00:04:42
so that's another thing though, because this was an independent film.
00:04:45
And so people were saying, oh, maybe they didn't have the money for it.
00:04:49
But I still just, I don't think it matters.
00:04:52
I think that's why people were so disappointed with this.
00:04:54
you expect this to come from Disney, right?
00:04:57
You don't expect this to come from independent artists who care about their
00:05:01
work.
00:05:01
that's supposed to be where the heart is.
00:05:03
And I think that's why this movie hit a little bit differently.
00:05:07
And I do think there are appropriate usages of AI.
00:05:11
I know in Dune 2, they used it to track the eyes so that they could recolor them,
00:05:15
right?
00:05:16
And that's not taking a job away from someone, that's assisting someone and
00:05:19
making their job easier.
00:05:21
So that to me feels very different than completely replacing a person with shitty
00:05:28
AI art.
00:05:30
Yeah, fair, fair.
00:05:32
Yeah.
00:05:36
Anyways, it sucks.
00:05:39
on opening weekend it made $666 which is very spooky and probably a lie but for
00:05:50
that reason alone we shouldn't we shouldn't go and see it anymore yeah
00:05:55
that number and prove a point.
00:05:58
Exactly.
00:06:01
uh, shifting gears here.
00:06:02
There was a TikTok going around like a week or two ago about the red room in
00:06:07
Haunting of Hill House and how people didn't like that Hugh, the dad, didn't get
00:06:14
his own red room.
00:06:15
Have you seen this TikTok?
00:06:17
Okay.
00:06:18
As a reminder, the red room is a room that turns into basically whatever is the most
00:06:24
calming or fitting for the person that's in that room.
00:06:27
So in this TikTok, the creator had this theory that said that Hugh's red room was
00:06:32
basically the entire house.
00:06:35
What's most fitting for Hugh is the house creating tasks for him to complete, one of
00:06:39
which is the locked red room door, because that's what Hugh's there to do.
00:06:43
He's there to essentially flip the house.
00:06:45
So the house is like, flip this bitch.
00:06:48
Great theory, someone tagged Mike Flanagan in it and he confirmed it.
00:06:54
So that's fun.
00:06:55
Yeah.
00:06:57
Yeah, I like that.
00:06:58
Yeah, I like a little lore to be dropped every now and then.
00:07:03
Yeah, I don't know if you saw his TikTok.
00:07:06
He also stitched someone who posted a photo of, Hamish Linklater, who played
00:07:12
Father Paul Hill in Midnight Mass, they posted a photo of him in the church set
00:07:18
and he was wearing a pear costume.
00:07:21
Yes.
00:07:22
And they were like, what is this about?
00:07:24
And Mike Flanagan just stitched it and was like, he said he was in "des-pear" because
00:07:28
it was his last day of filming.
00:07:31
Oh my god.
00:07:34
Which is not as fun, well, it's maybe more fun lore, but it's not as like
00:07:38
intellectual as the Haunting of Hill House one.
00:07:44
Significantly less intellectual, but you know.
00:07:48
Yes, cute, I actually love that.
00:07:51
yeah.
00:07:53
Okay, last news from me.
00:07:58
The The Twisted Childhood Cinematic Universe is now an official thing.
00:08:08
It includes movies like Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey and its
00:08:13
sequel, Bambi the Reckoning, Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare, most of these are
00:08:20
upcoming by the way, Pinocchio Unstrung, and...
00:08:29
They're saying it's going to be "like the Avengers" and they will all be converging
00:08:37
in the film.
00:08:40
Poohniverse.
00:08:42
Monsters Assemble.
00:08:46
So the Poohniverse is officially a thing.
00:08:51
And it's gonna be horrible and I can't wait.
00:08:56
I already know it's horrible.
00:08:57
Yeah, it's gonna be bad in the best way, I think.
00:09:05
So there's that.
00:09:06
And I think it's fun, because there's a lot of childhood domains that are now
00:09:10
public domains that could be added to the Poohniverse.
00:09:17
So I think, yes, I think they did.
00:09:24
Okay, well...
00:09:28
Great.
00:09:30
I'm glad that you're excited.
00:09:33
Thanks.
00:09:36
I'll say it because it needs to be said.
00:09:37
People are, excited about it, but also last piece of news.
00:09:41
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
00:09:43
The teaser trailer just dropped.
00:09:45
Um, and you get to see all the characters, including Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice.
00:09:48
So go and watch that if you haven't.
00:09:50
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:52
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
00:09:53
Long -awaited sequel.
00:09:55
I hope they make a third one and call it.
00:09:59
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
00:10:00
oh.
00:10:03
B3, the reckoning.
00:10:05
Hahaha!
00:10:08
Ah.
00:10:09
Well, we're here to talk about The Final Girls.
00:10:14
We are.
00:10:16
I'll tell you about it.
00:10:18
The Final Girls is a 2015 horror comedy.
00:10:24
It's about a girl named Max who was recently orphaned.
00:10:27
She goes to see a screening of a B horror movie that her mother made 20 years prior.
00:10:31
When Max and her friends find themselves in the world of the film itself, they must
00:10:35
apply their knowledge of horror tropes to survive.
00:10:38
is directed by Todd Strauss -Schulson.
00:10:42
had a $4 .5 million budget and it stars Taissa Farmiga, Malin Ackerman, Nina
00:10:47
Dobrev and Adam DeVine.
00:10:51
Star studded.
00:10:52
It is.
00:10:53
It really is.
00:10:53
I'll tell you also It has a 76 % on rotten tomatoes and a 6 .5 on IMDb.
00:11:00
Not bad.
00:11:02
They like it.
00:11:03
They really like it.
00:11:05
They didn't like it enough to give it money, but they did like it.
00:11:12
which correct, it did very poorly in the box office, but it has kind of a cult
00:11:18
following.
00:11:19
I mean, they're still doing panels about it to this day.
00:11:22
I watched one from Halloween of last year, but just goes to prove that if you like a
00:11:26
movie, don't pirate it, go and see it in theaters, support the people who are in
00:11:32
the film, and then maybe you'll get a sequel.
00:11:36
Yeah.
00:11:37
They've kind of confirmed.
00:11:38
Because that has been a thing like, oh, where's Camp Bloodbath 2?
00:11:42
when are we getting the sequel?
00:11:45
And it didn't make enough money, so no one's going to fund it.
00:11:49
Which is sad.
00:11:52
It's a bummer.
00:11:53
It is...
00:11:54
I feel like it had...
00:11:56
It got a limited release though, right?
00:11:58
Like it wasn't...
00:12:00
I think it premiered on at South by Southwest.
00:12:03
Weirdly enough.
00:12:05
Yeah, but I don't think it got a wide opening.
00:12:07
Let me see.
00:12:10
Yeah, the film received a video on demand and limited release on October 9th, 2015.
00:12:15
Yeah.
00:12:16
So, I mean, that makes sense that it didn't do well because to this day, I
00:12:21
don't think a lot of people really knew about it.
00:12:24
remaster it and release it again in theaters.
00:12:28
And then we'll get our sequel.
00:12:30
We deserve it.
00:12:31
I mean I do, I don't know about the rest of you.
00:12:37
haha
00:12:38
I personally have earned this.
00:12:42
watched this movie three times since Wednesday.
00:12:45
Yeah, we watched it together actually, which we don't normally do.
00:12:50
Yeah, you weren't really paying much attention though, so.
00:12:56
Awkward.
00:12:57
Yeah.
00:13:00
it's got a ton of ties to other horror movies, both like in the actual movie and
00:13:06
just like kind of behind the scenes.
00:13:08
my favorite of which is.
00:13:11
So Joshua John Miller was one of the co -writers and then director Todd
00:13:15
Strauss-Shulson both kind of took on the project to deal with the deaths of their
00:13:21
fathers.
00:13:21
Joshua John Miller's father is Jason Miller from the original Exorcist.
00:13:27
Yeah, he played Father Karras?
00:13:30
Karras?
00:13:32
Who's to say?
00:13:33
Karras.
00:13:35
I think it's Karras.
00:13:36
I've only seen that movie once and I was really drunk.
00:13:40
The last time I saw the movie was with you and I was also very drunk.
00:13:44
Yeah, I was like koala stuck to your leg in bed.
00:13:49
I was holding on for dear life, I had the spins so bad.
00:13:53
It was an experience.
00:13:57
But yeah, that is a fun fact.
00:14:00
You love a nepo baby, so.
00:14:03
And there's another nepo baby in this.
00:14:04
I didn't know he was even a nepo baby.
00:14:08
Yeah, Cato Alexander Ludwig.
00:14:14
I don't think that's how you actually say that.
00:14:17
His mom was in Friday the 13th, part eight.
00:14:21
There's eight of them?
00:14:24
I think there's more than eight of them.
00:14:27
There's too many.
00:14:28
And that one's called Jason Takes Manhattan, which sounds like an episode of
00:14:34
Sex and the City.
00:14:36
Just wait until you get to Jason X.
00:14:38
That's where the real party is.
00:14:41
He's in space.
00:14:43
In space?
00:14:48
What they ran out of cities?
00:14:53
That's insane.
00:14:55
Those movies need to stop.
00:14:56
And that's exactly why we got this movie, making fun of It.
00:15:00
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:02
it checks out to make fun of the Friday the 13th series.
00:15:06
Yeah.
00:15:08
Mm -hmm.
00:15:09
of unrelated, tangently related.
00:15:11
I don't think that that actually makes you a nepo baby if your mom was in the eighth
00:15:15
installment of a terrible horror franchise, I'm sorry.
00:15:19
I am inclined to agree.
00:15:24
But who's to say?
00:15:27
Maybe she just made an insane amount of money.
00:15:31
Is that the only thing she's been in?
00:15:33
I don't know.
00:15:34
I don't know, but it's fun that she was in the Friday the 13th movie.
00:15:37
It is fun, continuing that horror slasher tradition.
00:15:42
I like it.
00:15:44
Um...
00:15:49
You good?
00:15:51
You got anything else to say?
00:15:53
I was gonna, I'm sorry, you started coughing and I was gonna just like
00:15:58
smoothly transition and talk but then I got nervous that it was now on me and so I
00:16:04
was like looking through my notes trying to find a fun fact that I wanted to talk
00:16:08
about and then now we're here and now it's weird because I made it that way so and
00:16:16
that's why I thought this is great she's muted.
00:16:20
no one will know if I just keep talking and I didn't.
00:16:23
I just didn't.
00:16:24
So...
00:16:26
Your bad.
00:16:27
My bad, it's truly my bad.
00:16:34
Fun fact.
00:16:35
Yeah
00:16:39
Now that, you know, we've made it weird.
00:16:43
I made it weird.
00:16:45
I will take the fault for that.
00:16:49
The director, Todd Strauss-Shulson, said that he always thought of Alia Shawkat as
00:16:56
Gertie.
00:16:58
And so when he reached out to her manager, he kept getting the run around from them.
00:17:03
So he was just like, okay.
00:17:05
So he just emailed her, and was like...
00:17:08
will you be in this movie?
00:17:09
And it worked!
00:17:12
I don't think that's the professional way to do it in that industry, but sometimes
00:17:16
you gotta do what you gotta do.
00:17:18
Yeah, and if a director is reaching out, going around my agent to reach out to me
00:17:21
personally, I'll at least read the script.
00:17:24
Right?
00:17:25
And also sometimes it's like...
00:17:29
the agent's wrong, obviously, like in this case, or the manager.
00:17:34
And also there were so many people that came out from the Barbie movie who were
00:17:38
like, oh yeah, my manager said no, and I was like, what do you mean?
00:17:41
I'm obviously gonna be in Barbie.
00:17:43
I think Michael Cera said that his manager told them no, and he had to be like, call
00:17:48
them the fuck back, of course I'm doing Barbie, like what do you mean?
00:17:52
Yeah, sounds like they need new agents.
00:17:54
That's what I'm saying.
00:17:56
Disgusting.
00:17:58
That's, yeah.
00:18:00
They can join Dakota Johnson's agent after Madame Webb.
00:18:05
I didn't see it, but I kind of want to though.
00:18:10
It sounds like a nightmare.
00:18:11
It sounds like they knew it was gonna be a nightmare.
00:18:13
They knew it was.
00:18:14
She is not a good actress.
00:18:17
Like that was your first indication.
00:18:19
She sucks.
00:18:20
Sorry, Dakota.
00:18:21
You're a nepo baby.
00:18:22
I mean, what are you gonna do?
00:18:26
Money gets you everywhere, including in a Marvel movie.
00:18:29
But I think they knew it was gonna be bad and they really leaned into that.
00:18:32
And like the PR is making it fun.
00:18:33
People wanna go see it just because, oh, how bad could it possibly be?
00:18:36
Very fucking bad.
00:18:38
I think it's, but the problem though is that what I've heard is that it's not even
00:18:44
like funny bad.
00:18:45
It's just bad.
00:18:47
So that's not good.
00:18:50
Because...
00:18:53
I think The Room is a masterpiece and that's bad, but it's so bad it's funny.
00:18:59
So if you're so bad and you're not funny.
00:19:04
That's not good.
00:19:07
Then you're Thankskilling 3.
00:19:09
Who wants that?
00:19:12
Man, they should have stopped at Thankskilling 1.
00:19:15
Thankskilling 1 is a fucking masterpiece.
00:19:17
Yeah, they didn't though.
00:19:22
Yeah.
00:19:26
I like back to this movie, not Madame Webb.
00:19:32
I like that the running time of the movie is the same as Camp Bloodbath, the movie,
00:19:38
within the movie.
00:19:39
So they're both 92 minutes long, and I love that.
00:19:43
That's just, to me, perfection.
00:19:47
I love it when they do little shit like that.
00:19:49
It gets me going.
00:19:51
Yeah, I like a little shit too.
00:19:57
Uh
00:19:58
Everyone loves a little shit.
00:20:00
Yeah.
00:20:01
Can we go back to other horror movies for a second?
00:20:03
Because I had this whole section about other horror movies and we just derailed.
00:20:09
Friday the 13th.
00:20:12
Speaking of, the song that everybody's singing after the first murder, "Michael,
00:20:18
Row Your Boat Ashore".
00:20:21
Hallelujah.
00:20:22
Hallelujah.
00:20:24
That's the same song that they're playing in the pre -credit sequence in Friday the
00:20:27
13th from 1980.
00:20:30
They're also wearing the same yellow shirts or similar yellow shirts.
00:20:33
Yeah.
00:20:35
I've got more, but you go next.
00:20:39
No, I was just gonna say I think they did a good job at doing little homages to the
00:20:44
movies that they were kind of poking fun at.
00:20:48
But tell us more, you're on a roll.
00:20:50
Yeah, I got so much.
00:20:52
I listen to so many interviews.
00:20:54
I love that.
00:20:55
Nancy, the mom, but.
00:21:00
was modeled after Ginny from Friday the 13th 2.
00:21:08
And then Tina, the Adderall dancer.
00:21:13
The Adderall dancer.
00:21:15
was modeled after Linda from Halloween.
00:21:19
Yeah.
00:21:20
and then Jodi.
00:21:24
was modeled after Morgan from The House on Sorority Row, which I haven't seen, but I
00:21:31
bet it's fantastic.
00:21:33
And then Nancy and Tina were named after Nancy and Tina from Nightmare on Elm
00:21:40
Street.
00:21:41
Yes.
00:21:42
So many ties back to other movies.
00:21:44
It's cute.
00:21:47
Yeah.
00:21:48
We've talked about that before, I like that that's a thing in horror that you see
00:21:52
a lot is those little nods to the movies that came before.
00:21:56
And obviously this one's very clearly poking fun at that genre.
00:22:01
So they're going to do that.
00:22:03
But even in movies that aren't like that, you see a lot.
00:22:05
And I just, I think it's fun.
00:22:08
It's like we're one little...
00:22:10
friend group, you know?
00:22:12
we've all got our inside jokes and -
00:22:15
Yeah!
00:22:17
Yeah, this is exactly what this movie is making fun of.
00:22:21
Oh yeah, 100%.
00:22:23
Yeah, it is.
00:22:25
fan, you're a fan of this movie.
00:22:26
Or you better be.
00:22:29
Yeah!
00:22:31
Okay, it's your turn.
00:22:35
I've talked enough.
00:22:36
Okay, Angela Trimbur, she plays Tina, and she improvised the entire dance sequence.
00:22:45
She drank a bunch of energy drinks, worked herself up, went for it, and nailed it.
00:22:53
That's my favorite scene.
00:22:55
When she's crawling on the floor.
00:22:57
Oh my God.
00:22:59
Hilarious.
00:23:01
That would be really fun to do.
00:23:02
But also I feel like...
00:23:04
Good for her and a lot of actors, because you have to really just not care about
00:23:11
embarrassment at all to do that.
00:23:14
And I think that that's great.
00:23:17
Good for everybody else behind her not breaking character.
00:23:22
Yeah, I'd be cracking up
00:23:26
It sounds like that like I mean they put bloopers in the final credits, but it
00:23:33
sounds like It was a really funny movie to shoot everybody was always laughing and
00:23:38
crying.
00:23:39
We'll get to that in a second but everybody was encouraged to improv and go
00:23:43
off script as much as possible and Thomas Middleditch which is
00:23:48
What's his name?
00:23:50
Starts with a W I think.
00:23:52
Duncan doesn't start with a W.
00:23:55
And then Adam DeVine obviously.
00:23:57
A lot of their improvs are in the final cut.
00:24:01
Yeah.
00:24:04
Yeah, I always think that's fun too.
00:24:07
When you get to improvise a little bit.
00:24:11
Also, Adam DeVine, who again plays Kurt, and then Chloe Bridges who plays Paula.
00:24:19
She just pops in and out real quick in the movie.
00:24:22
Yeah, she's kind of in and out.
00:24:24
Yeah, but they first met because they were seated next to each other on the plane
00:24:29
that they were taking to set.
00:24:31
Adorable.
00:24:33
But Adam didn't know that Chloe was in the movie.
00:24:37
She knew that he was in the movie.
00:24:40
And so she started just chatting with him and he was like, okay, and talked to her,
00:24:45
but was like, why is this girl talking to me?
00:24:49
And then they did the movie together.
00:24:51
They fell in love and they got married in 2021.
00:24:56
Aww, how sweet.
00:25:01
Aww, I love that for them.
00:25:03
That's a long Hollywood marriage, three years.
00:25:06
Three years is a lifetime in Hollywood.
00:25:11
Literally.
00:25:13
lifetimes.
00:25:15
Speaking of lifetimes...
00:25:19
Just kidding, this was a stretch.
00:25:21
Alexander Ludwig's character mentions playing high school football and shooting
00:25:28
arrows, archery, which is a call back to his former lives in the Hunger Games and
00:25:35
When the Game Stands Tall.
00:25:37
Yeah.
00:25:39
So cute.
00:25:40
He was also in another movie called Final Girl.
00:25:44
Totally unrelated, but yes.
00:25:46
Not, yeah, nothing to do with this movie.
00:25:49
I think it has Abigail Breslin in it.
00:25:53
Yeah, it's no, it's no, he's a terrible person in it.
00:26:02
God.
00:26:03
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:07
But yeah, how fun.
00:26:10
He's great at playing terrible people.
00:26:13
I think that's why in this movie I just don't like him.
00:26:17
I'm sorry, because he just looks like he sucks.
00:26:22
Not I'm sure he's a nice guy in real life, but because he's played these characters
00:26:26
that suck.
00:26:27
I'm now my brain is conditioned to be like, I hate that guy.
00:26:32
You know what I mean?
00:26:33
And he's blonde.
00:26:35
What's a girl to do?
00:26:36
Um...
00:26:37
Oh.
00:26:39
Sad.
00:26:40
Poor Alex.
00:26:43
He looks like an Alex.
00:26:46
Yeah.
00:26:48
To be clear, I'm sure he's a fine person in real life.
00:26:51
I don't know him.
00:26:53
Sucky characters though.
00:26:54
So, not in this.
00:26:57
Just every other movie I've seen.
00:27:06
Malin Ackerman, Nancy slash Amanda.
00:27:13
Todd Strauss-Shulson, the director of the movie said that she was the hardest or her
00:27:18
role was the hardest to cast.
00:27:21
But she came in, did her interview, nailed it.
00:27:23
It was literally weeks after giving birth.
00:27:27
She was a brand new mom to a baby, obviously, baby girl.
00:27:33
Um, and I meant to say girl.
00:27:37
Yeah, I meant to say baby girl.
00:27:39
Um, and her marriage had literally just ended.
00:27:43
Right after she had the baby?
00:27:45
around the same time.
00:27:47
Yeah, brutal.
00:27:49
So all of the things that she was expressing about motherhood and solo
00:27:54
parenting and stuff was True, it was real.
00:27:59
Which is probably what made her so good for the role, but.
00:28:02
Yeah, she and Taissa really carried those heavier hitting sad moments in the film,
00:28:10
which there were a lot of.
00:28:11
I know, it's a surprisingly emotional film for the premise because it's so goofy at
00:28:18
times and then it's so like...
00:28:22
Like, why am I tearing up to Bette Davis Eyes while a mom essentially does a
00:28:27
striptease in front of her daughter?
00:28:28
I don't know, but I am, so somehow it works.
00:28:35
No.
00:28:36
was literally her strip teasing in front of her.
00:28:39
Very strange.
00:28:42
But the scene where they're saying goodbye or whatever, Todd Strauss-Shulson talking
00:28:50
about him again, the director, I mentioned that he and one of the co -writers were
00:28:56
both using this film to help heal from the passing of their dads.
00:29:01
Todd said that that's by far his favorite scene and he said "Josh and my dads were
00:29:08
in that room and we were both saying goodbye to them and it was an incredibly
00:29:12
emotional scene for the entire group." and he says even to this day he watches it
00:29:18
back just to say hi or bye to his dad because he can feel him in that scene.
00:29:22
I know wasn't that so sad?
00:29:24
I know.
00:29:28
Oh!
00:29:29
I know.
00:29:31
This is a comedy.
00:29:32
I just like to remind everyone.
00:29:33
is a comedy, but that's so sad.
00:29:37
Yeah, I've definitely cried at this movie many times, but that's fair.
00:29:43
I've lost a parent, so it's definitely that movie where it's like, you feel it,
00:29:49
you know?
00:29:51
It's rough.
00:29:52
It's rough out there.
00:29:53
Aw.
00:29:55
No, it's fine, I cry at everything when I'm alone.
00:29:59
I literally joke constantly that I cry at Easy A.
00:30:03
That's not a sad movie.
00:30:05
I've seen it, but I don't remember that movie at all.
00:30:08
Oh, we can watch it and I'll cry in your arms.
00:30:11
I don't like her.
00:30:13
In my arms?
00:30:15
Specifically?
00:30:17
Wait a minute!
00:30:21
Wait a minute!
00:30:27
Now that you mention it, I kinda do wanna watch Easy A.
00:30:33
bumping that to the top of my watch list.
00:30:36
Oh shit.
00:30:40
We have fun here.
00:30:47
I think there were like a few bumps with it getting made.
00:30:48
They had to do a couple of rewrites.
00:30:51
A couple, quite a few, but they originally optioned the script to New Line Cinema,
00:30:58
but the studio wanted to eliminate the entire mother daughter plot.
00:31:03
And they were like, no, again, that's the whole reason we did this.
00:31:09
So then they wound up going with Sony.
00:31:14
but they liked the emotional core, but they didn't like the slasher aspect as
00:31:18
much.
00:31:19
So they had to tone it down.
00:31:20
It was originally supposed to be rated R, much more extreme.
00:31:25
And they went down to a PG -13, because more marketable.
00:31:33
I guess the director ended up being happy with it, but he also said that we missed
00:31:37
out on a scene in which Tina's boobs get chopped off and go flying through the air.
00:31:45
actually think I'm okay with that.
00:31:47
Yeah, okay, well, I thought it sounded fun.
00:31:54
I prefer the Lisa Frankenstein dick scene, but that's just me.
00:31:58
Yeah, that was a pretty good one too.
00:32:00
But that was implied.
00:32:01
It was a shadow.
00:32:02
It wasn't actually a dick.
00:32:03
It sounded like this was gonna be actually tits soaring.
00:32:11
We'll never know.
00:32:14
Too bad.
00:32:15
Yeah, the things we lose when we go to PG -13, you know?
00:32:19
Ha ha!
00:32:22
Yeah, that's boobs and gore.
00:32:23
It's like the two things you can't put in a PG -13 movie.
00:32:27
They don't belong here.
00:32:29
Yeah.
00:32:31
the killer in the movie is called Billy Murphy, which I also, I was trying to find
00:32:36
anything about that being a reference to Bill Murray.
00:32:41
Just because it sounds like Bill Murray.
00:32:43
I don't know.
00:32:45
Every time I read it, I was reading Bill Murray.
00:32:47
But like, I don't know.
00:32:49
Maybe that's just a me thing.
00:32:51
But anyways, Bill Murphy's mask.
00:32:55
They changed it quite a few times during filming.
00:32:59
And during, or because it had such prominent eyebrows, they called it the
00:33:03
Eugene Levy mask.
00:33:06
Which I think is really funny.
00:33:09
I know.
00:33:11
Yeah.
00:33:14
That was the end of that fun fact.
00:33:16
Yeah.
00:33:17
I thought you were going to tell us that it made us an appearance.
00:33:20
It's in a scene in the movie.
00:33:23
Yeah, it's in a scene where somebody is looking out the window or something.
00:33:27
Yeah.
00:33:28
Yeah.
00:33:30
speaking of Bill Murray, not Bill Murray, Billy Murphy.
00:33:36
Yeah.
00:33:38
Um, the sequel is supposed to be about him, but like the actor that plays him is
00:33:44
the dad of the like, the yeah, I mean, the not Max, a Max figure.
00:33:53
a Max figure.
00:33:55
Yeah, like a teenage girl.
00:33:58
A different teenage girl.
00:34:01
I don't know.
00:34:03
Well, I mean, yeah, but.
00:34:04
you find out that Billy was, the guy who played Billy was her dad, because they
00:34:09
hooked up on set.
00:34:12
That's what I thought it was.
00:34:14
That's how I read it.
00:34:16
I like that.
00:34:17
That's not that I was watching an interview with.
00:34:21
What's his name?
00:34:21
Todd, the director?
00:34:22
Yeah, that's not what he meant by that?
00:34:24
I don't know.
00:34:26
I don't think so, but.
00:34:28
Well, he should do my idea.
00:34:31
Yeah, I like that idea better.
00:34:33
Maybe that is his idea.
00:34:34
I don't want to.
00:34:34
I mean, that's not what I understood, but.
00:34:40
Cute though.
00:34:41
Yeah, I think that would have been fun.
00:34:43
I'd watch it.
00:34:46
Me too.
00:34:47
Yeah.
00:34:49
and then Duncan.
00:34:51
Mm -hmm.
00:34:52
during the end credits blooper, there's a scene with Kurt in the hospital.
00:34:57
That's not a blooper.
00:34:58
That's an actual scene from an alternate version of the ending where Duncan's like,
00:35:05
the studio really liked Kurt's character, so they brought him back for the sequel.
00:35:11
He wasn't actually dead.
00:35:14
Which is a bummer, because that would've been cute.
00:35:18
I think so.
00:35:21
We were robbed, I'm telling you.
00:35:23
We were robbed of The Final Girl's sequel.
00:35:25
Yeah, yeah, which also.
00:35:30
fault but mine.
00:35:32
I mean, I watched it three times.
00:35:36
Too late!
00:35:38
Almost 10 years too late, kd!
00:35:40
I know, ugh, God, yeah, almost, 2015.
00:35:44
Which, speaking of which,
00:35:45
The entire time I was watching this movie, I was like, oh my God, no wonder they cast
00:35:49
Adam DeVine for Pitch Perfect.
00:35:51
Of course they would.
00:35:52
I mean, look at him.
00:35:53
He's doing amazing.
00:35:56
Because I thought that that was his first role was Pitch Perfect.
00:36:00
I don't know why I thought that.
00:36:02
I'd never seen him in anything else.
00:36:04
either.
00:36:05
He was on Workaholics for like forever.
00:36:08
Oh, see, I never saw that show.
00:36:10
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:12
No, he'd definitely done things before Pitch Perfect.
00:36:15
But I think Pitch Perfect moved him more into the mainstream.
00:36:22
for sure.
00:36:23
And then he did this movie.
00:36:24
I don't know.
00:36:27
Yes.
00:36:29
Okay, well...
00:36:31
Yeah.
00:36:31
Yeah, wait, Pitch Perfect came out before this movie.
00:36:33
That's what I'm saying.
00:36:36
I kept saying, oh yeah, no wonder they wanted him for Pitch Perfect because look
00:36:40
at how good he did in this movie.
00:36:43
Yeah, but wouldn't it be...
00:36:45
Why wouldn't they want him in this movie?
00:36:46
Look at how good he did in Pitch Perfect.
00:36:49
Pitch Perfect came out first.
00:36:51
Right, that's what I'm saying.
00:36:52
I thought.
00:36:54
Okay, you personally thought.
00:36:57
Got it.
00:36:59
Oh, we got there.
00:37:02
Yeah, why wouldn't it?
00:37:04
Perfect was, oh wait, now I'm confusing myself.
00:37:11
You don't even know what you're saying.
00:37:14
You thought Pitch Perfect was his breakout role, but then he did this first.
00:37:21
Yeah, I don't know what I'm trying to say, but I did think that he did this first.
00:37:25
Okay.
00:37:27
Which is why I was surprised to find out.
00:37:31
Never mind.
00:37:32
Yeah.
00:37:36
Let's move on.
00:37:37
This movie was filmed in 26 days.
00:37:40
They had a super tight budget.
00:37:45
They built, I'm just gonna keep talking.
00:37:48
They built the cabin for the booby trap sequence so that the motion camera would
00:37:55
fit, because the motion camera wouldn't fit in any of the cabins at this camp.
00:37:58
They're at this camp.
00:38:01
It's a Christian girls camp in the middle of Louisiana or some shit.
00:38:04
But anyway, none of the cabins would fit the camera on the tracks.
00:38:07
So they built a cabin that would fit the camera.
00:38:12
And there's literally an inch of space on any of the sides of the camera.
00:38:18
They had one night to film, with that entire set that they built.
00:38:25
And then they didn't have enough money to demo it.
00:38:27
So they just left it there and told the girls.
00:38:30
sure that it was structurally sound enough that it could be used by the, I think it
00:38:35
was a Girl Scout camp that they were at.
00:38:37
Cute.
00:38:39
Yeah.
00:38:41
They got a little piece of set to use for their camp.
00:38:45
Yeah.
00:38:48
Any other fun facts you got for me?
00:38:52
Oh!
00:38:52
the last day of shooting, on the last day of shooting, they had to do all their fire
00:38:57
scenes.
00:39:00
Do you know this already?
00:39:03
Okay, well, pretend like you don't.
00:39:04
Yeah, pretend like you don't.
00:39:06
They had to do their fire scenes and the stunt team forgot, you're acting too much,
00:39:12
forgot the fluid that they used to put the fires out on the stuntmen.
00:39:21
They had enough for two, God, your fucking face.
00:39:26
They had enough for two takes.
00:39:28
So two people lit on fire and that was it.
00:39:31
And they had two fire scenes to shoot.
00:39:35
You might be asking, oh, well, why wouldn't they just go get more of that
00:39:37
fluid?
00:39:38
Well, because it was three hours away.
00:39:39
So they couldn't and they had one night, literally they're doing the scenes.
00:39:43
They had that night to do it.
00:39:44
It was already dark out.
00:39:46
As the sun is rising.
00:39:49
And 30 minutes before, four busloads of little Christian girls come to be at their
00:39:55
camp, which is where they were filming.
00:39:58
They're doing the running sequence, you know?
00:40:03
Well, first of all, the scene with Billy jumping out of the window went perfect.
00:40:07
They used three cameras to shoot it.
00:40:08
It was great.
00:40:09
They had all the footage they needed.
00:40:12
Back to the running scene, everyone from the crew, like hair, makeup, wardrobe,
00:40:16
everybody set up chairs.
00:40:18
They made popcorn.
00:40:20
They brought their little drinks to come and watch the filming of.
00:40:22
This is the last scene that they had to film and they had one take to do it.
00:40:26
And the sun's coming up and here come the little Christian girls and they did it.
00:40:29
They fucking nailed it.
00:40:31
Of course.
00:40:32
And it was a focus -puller scene.
00:40:35
So you know where the guys are going to walk backwards, you know?
00:40:38
Basically impossible to get right on the first try.
00:40:40
And then they did it.
00:40:41
Not for them.
00:40:43
And then they packed up and went home.
00:40:45
Pack it up!
00:40:47
They didn't even put the guy out.
00:40:49
Left him on fire.
00:40:50
Some say he's still on fire.
00:40:56
They left two pieces of set behind.
00:40:59
Do you think some people were sitting on their little lawn chairs kind of hoping
00:41:03
they fumbled?
00:41:06
I mean, yeah, I would be.
00:41:09
Like, oh man, we're have to turn these little Christian girls away.
00:41:12
Oh, sad, we're have to sit here for another couple days.
00:41:14
Oh, I have to get paid two more days?
00:41:17
Mm, boo hoo.
00:41:19
Boo hoo hoo.
00:41:20
But what probably would've happened is they would've just cut the scene and then
00:41:22
it would've been as good of a movie.
00:41:24
Yeah, true.
00:41:26
If they don't have enough budget to tear it down, I'm sure they didn't have enough
00:41:29
budget to...
00:41:32
Shoot it again!
00:41:35
Probably not.
00:41:36
Yeah.
00:41:38
That's all I had, I'm done now.
00:41:41
Oh great.
00:41:44
I will just say that this movie is incredibly fucking quotable.
00:41:49
It is.
00:41:50
So cool.
00:41:52
Yeah, it's a really fun time.
00:41:54
I think this movie is great.
00:41:57
I'm a fan.
00:41:59
Yeah, every time anybody asks me what any of my tattoos are or mean, I'm gonna tell
00:42:03
them I'm a cherry thief.
00:42:07
I got it in juvie.
00:42:09
I like that.
00:42:14
I like that a lot.
00:42:17
Um, yeah.
00:42:19
Great, should we rate it?
00:42:22
Okay.
00:42:23
How funny did you think it was?
00:42:26
Bet you didn't think I was gonna ask you that.
00:42:27
I didn't.
00:42:29
Ahhhh
00:42:30
Like a 3 .5.
00:42:33
Oh, okay.
00:42:33
That's pretty funny.
00:42:34
I think it's pretty funny.
00:42:37
It's not like a ha ha laugh out loud funny for the most part.
00:42:42
Okay, I said for the most part.
00:42:47
But I feel like a lot of it's more like, I see what you did there.
00:42:53
There are moments where it's like hee hee ha ha.
00:42:58
But yeah, I do think it's a good time.
00:43:02
What about you?
00:43:03
in the entire movie, they won't be singing Kumbaya, they'll be screaming Kumbano
00:43:10
because they could have said Kumbanah.
00:43:15
Oh my God, so fucking funny.
00:43:17
I pissed myself.
00:43:19
Honestly, I think one of my favorite jokes, which we actually kind of talked
00:43:25
about a little bit when we were watching it was they do use the F slur, which like
00:43:29
bad, but it's immediately condemned.
00:43:32
immediately Alexander Ludwig's character shuts it down and is like, I have two
00:43:37
dads, don't say that shit.
00:43:38
And Adam DeVine's character, the one who said it is like, you can't have two dads.
00:43:44
because they're too busy going out all the time and having a good time at the clubs
00:43:48
and it's actually like a pretty cool lifestyle.
00:43:50
I like, I don't know why I think that's so funny.
00:43:54
You just like, immediately you're like, Kurt, baby girl.
00:43:59
You can live that lifestyle too.
00:44:03
Him and Duncan are hilarious.
00:44:06
They're my favorite characters.
00:44:07
Yeah.
00:44:10
Yeah, it's kind of a shame that Duncan wasn't in it that long like, he kind of...
00:44:16
But he kind of had to be the first one to go, you know?
00:44:18
Well, no.
00:44:20
Oh, no?
00:44:23
Who would you have killed off first?
00:44:29
I don't know.
00:44:31
Vicki.
00:44:33
Oh is that Nina?
00:44:35
Yeah, yeah.
00:44:36
But she had to have her character arc, you know what I mean?
00:44:38
She had to like have her redemption.
00:44:41
Because she is like the shitty character.
00:44:43
Her and Kurt are the two shitty ones.
00:44:46
Well, she had some fucking slapper lines, too.
00:44:48
she was the one that said we're just going to watch someone get murdered.
00:44:51
What is this, Detroit?
00:44:53
Yeah, that was wild.
00:44:56
Uhhh...
00:44:57
think that is too, like this movie is not always super politically correct but I
00:45:05
think the way that they kind of shut things down is done pretty well.
00:45:11
they immediately kind of are like, no this is it's bad because this terrible person
00:45:15
said it.
00:45:16
you know Kurt's a bad guy.
00:45:18
So when he drops the f -slur, you're like, yeah, he sucks.
00:45:21
That's why he said it.
00:45:22
You know what I mean?
00:45:25
So yeah, there definitely are parts like that where it's like, Jesus Christ.
00:45:29
Yeah, which I think is it's it's really them poking fun at how some of these older
00:45:34
movies did not age well.
00:45:35
And it's a cute, fun way to do it.
00:45:38
I mean, it's still I mean, maybe you still shouldn't use the word, but if you gotta.
00:45:43
Yeah, it's one of those things where it takes you back.
00:45:47
But I also think, I don't know, we shouldn't get to a point where people
00:45:51
can't do or say bad things in a movie because they're bad.
00:45:57
Inclusion does not mean promotion.
00:46:01
It's just, you can condemn it and have that be a lesson, you know what I mean?
00:46:07
Yeah.
00:46:09
Anyway, I also thought it was a 3 .5 funny, so...
00:46:13
It's pretty fucking funny.
00:46:16
That's why I watched it three times.
00:46:20
One for each funny.
00:46:22
You gotta watch it a half a time now.
00:46:24
I mean technically I've only watched it two and a half times because the time I
00:46:29
watched it with you it wasn't paying attention.
00:46:31
So I'm just gonna watch it one more.
00:46:34
Yeah.
00:46:37
I think I already know your answer but how scary did you think it was?
00:46:41
Like at least a three.
00:46:43
I'm just kidding.
00:46:44
I'm just joking.
00:46:50
No, I only know that from you saying it.
00:46:55
Because you say it all the fucking time.
00:46:59
I'm just joking.
00:47:01
just joking.
00:47:04
Anyways, go watch I Think You Should Leave Now.
00:47:07
It's Tim Robinson!
00:47:09
I do like him.
00:47:11
I'm gonna send you the clip of it, it's so funny.
00:47:14
Gimme that!
00:47:16
I'm just joking.
00:47:18
It doesn't sound funny when you say it.
00:47:21
Like it's.
00:47:22
here's the thing about, honestly, that entire show, if you've ever seen I Think
00:47:26
You Should Leave Now, is when you watch it, you're kind of like, okay.
00:47:32
But you cannot stop quoting it afterwards.
00:47:35
It just ingrains itself into your brain.
00:47:40
It won't ever leave and it makes it funnier.
00:47:44
Kinda like The Office.
00:47:47
No, the office is funny when you're watching it.
00:47:49
Eh, not the first season.
00:47:52
But.
00:47:52
there are still episodes that I will skip because I'm not strong enough.
00:47:59
Um, yeah, it's a one.
00:48:02
Yeah.
00:48:03
You also thought it was a one.
00:48:05
So how fucked up did you think it was?
00:48:08
I did also think it was one.
00:48:11
Uh, are we not doing sexy?
00:48:13
This is time or?
00:48:14
yeah, we should do that first.
00:48:16
Sorry, go ahead.
00:48:17
was just trying to be funny.
00:48:20
no, no, I gave it a three on sexy.
00:48:25
I know.
00:48:26
I think horror movies at camps always kind of have a sexy vibe.
00:48:30
And I think it's because everybody's kind of funny too.
00:48:34
It makes them hotter.
00:48:36
And I like that this movie is bright and fun colors because that's hot.
00:48:42
And yeah.
00:48:42
They're all wearing 80s crop tops and stuff.
00:48:45
It's great.
00:48:46
So to be clear, it wasn't the like a shadowed incense.
00:48:50
Incense?
00:48:51
Let me start that over.
00:48:52
So to be clear, it wasn't the like shrouded incest.
00:48:57
That didn't feel like a thing to me at all.
00:49:02
No, no, I felt like they were two pals helping each other along the way.
00:49:09
No, that had, I didn't like that, no.
00:49:12
No, no, no, I liked the 80s aesthetic, the crop tops, the fun time.
00:49:24
Because I mean, I was just gonna say like that kind of bumped my score down a little
00:49:28
bit.
00:49:28
I only gave it a two and a
00:49:30
Okay.
00:49:33
because you thought they were gonna kiss or what?
00:49:37
No, it was just, I mean, it was a mom doing a strip tease in front of her
00:49:42
daughter.
00:49:43
That part I didn't think was sexy.
00:49:47
I just thought that was kind of like funny and sad.
00:49:52
Yeah.
00:49:53
Yeah, yeah.
00:49:55
No, that didn't factor into the score at all for me.
00:50:01
Yeah.
00:50:01
How fucked up did you think it was?
00:50:04
Okay.
00:50:06
I gave it a one.
00:50:07
Yeah.
00:50:08
How about you?
00:50:10
I also gave it a 1.
00:50:12
It's very standard.
00:50:13
Because it's making fun of standard horror movies, so.
00:50:16
It's like, you know, nothing we haven't seen before.
00:50:20
the boobs would have given it probably a .5.
00:50:24
Oh, for sure.
00:50:26
Yeah, absolutely.
00:50:28
People were supposed to be decapitated.
00:50:30
It was gonna be a big mess.
00:50:32
I know.
00:50:35
when I fund the sequel.
00:50:40
Oh, just kidding.
00:50:41
Um, overall?
00:50:45
Me?
00:50:46
I always go first.
00:50:49
I'm going to put my answer under the table.
00:50:52
okay.
00:50:55
Okay, go ahead.
00:50:56
I gave mine or mine.
00:51:01
This is my movie now.
00:51:04
No, I gave it a three point five.
00:51:09
I kinda want it to be a 3 .75 because I don't think it's quite a 4.
00:51:14
But it is a fun movie.
00:51:15
It has heart, it's funny, it's like a good time type of fun movie, you know?
00:51:20
I do think there's areas where it could have been a little bit better and that's
00:51:25
why it's not quite there yet.
00:51:28
But overall, I do really enjoy this movie.
00:51:31
I think it's a fun time.
00:51:32
You should definitely watch it if you haven't.
00:51:35
What about you?
00:51:37
Can I guess?
00:51:38
Oh.
00:51:38
shit.
00:51:41
Yeah.
00:51:41
I could tell by your face it was a, I like this better than you.
00:51:45
Yeah.
00:51:47
I mean, not much better than you.
00:51:50
I mean, if you give it a 3 .75, then like, but you're not allowed to do that.
00:51:55
No.
00:51:56
allowed to do that.
00:51:58
I feel like it checked all of the boxes of a good movie.
00:52:03
It had a few drawbacks.
00:52:05
I mean, there were a couple of comments that they made that made me a little
00:52:07
uncomfortable.
00:52:10
I think the acting was a little inconsistent.
00:52:13
Some people really knocked it out of the park, were hilarious, were emotional, and
00:52:18
other people were just kind of like, did you really have to be in this movie?
00:52:23
Nina.
00:52:28
Um, Alex.
00:52:33
I do love him though.
00:52:36
Alexander Ludwig.
00:52:37
That's crazy that I said that I didn't like him in this when you were yelling at
00:52:42
me.
00:52:47
He was unneeded.
00:52:48
Yeah.
00:52:50
He was fine.
00:52:51
Other people did a lot better.
00:52:54
Yeah.
00:52:55
Um...
00:52:56
It was funny, it was emotional.
00:52:59
So yeah, I gave it four.
00:53:01
I love that.
00:53:02
I know.
00:53:04
It's the first movie I've watched three times between when I first watched it and
00:53:08
when I recorded it.
00:53:10
I've done a couple twice.
00:53:13
This is the first one I've done three times.
00:53:16
fun!
00:53:17
Mm -hmm.
00:53:20
Um, would you survive it though?
00:53:24
Uhhhh
00:53:25
You know, you'd think I would think about it beforehand, but I just really don't.
00:53:28
Yeah, yeah.
00:53:30
I would, after 64 episodes, think that you would think about this question at least
00:53:37
once, but...
00:53:40
No.
00:53:42
Maybe by 100 episodes.
00:53:44
Yeah, a few more.
00:53:48
Um, I mean, everybody does, sorta.
00:53:54
I mean they have to get through the second movie but like eventually they're gonna
00:54:01
get out of the movie whether they die or not.
00:54:05
You know what I mean?
00:54:06
I do know what you mean.
00:54:08
So I think I'm living.
00:54:11
I think you are too.
00:54:14
Yeah, absolutely.
00:54:17
This feels kind of low stakes, because even the people that died were alive for
00:54:22
the sequel, so.
00:54:26
Yeah.
00:54:26
I think I'm alright.
00:54:28
Also, it's like, you know, horror movie rules, and I know the rules.
00:54:35
I can navigate that just fine.
00:54:38
Yeah, yeah, fair.
00:54:41
And to go even one step further, the one character that died but still made it to
00:54:50
the sequel.
00:54:50
You know, Kurt.
00:54:52
correct.
00:54:54
He made it to the sequel because the director thought he was so funny quote
00:55:00
-unquote.
00:55:01
I'm fucking funny.
00:55:02
I'm hilarious.
00:55:02
Of course they're gonna keep me.
00:55:04
So I think no matter what the scenario is I'm living.
00:55:08
You do give off big Kurt vibes.
00:55:11
Thanks.
00:55:12
Yay, feminism.
00:55:15
I'm just joking.
00:55:17
I'm just joking.
00:55:20
Gimme that.
00:55:25
If I haven't encouraged you to watch Final Girls today, I hope you at least go watch
00:55:29
that sketch from -
00:55:33
You have one takeaway from this episode.
00:55:38
Yeah.
00:55:40
all right, are you ready to predict next week's movie plot?
00:55:47
All right.
00:55:48
Do you know what it is?
00:55:50
You never do.
00:55:52
All right.
00:55:52
I kind of like that though.
00:55:53
I like that it's like a little treat.
00:55:55
It's a surprise.
00:55:56
Yeah.
00:55:57
Also, sometimes I need to move stuff around, so that's also good.
00:56:02
cause then you're not like, oh I was expecting this movie, you know?
00:56:07
Anyways, next week we're gonna be talking about Cube.
00:56:12
Cube.
00:56:15
I know exactly what Cube is about.
00:56:18
I've never even fucking heard of this movie.
00:56:20
Did you just add this to the schedule?
00:56:22
It's been on the schedule the whole time?
00:56:28
think I switched it.
00:56:31
No, I didn't.
00:56:32
I switched the week after this movie.
00:56:34
The next two movies after that were not there previously.
00:56:38
Cube has been on there for a while.
00:56:42
Okay, can you send me the poster?
00:56:43
Can I see the poster?
00:56:45
What the hell?
00:56:47
Okay.
00:56:49
All right.
00:56:49
I'm just gonna go based off what I know about cubes and horror movies.
00:56:55
Cube is about a group of detectives.
00:57:04
Mm -hmm.
00:57:06
who are fighting a bad guy and um
00:57:19
There's a cube.
00:57:20
And the cube is a puzzle.
00:57:24
and they have to solve it.
00:57:27
And when they try to solve it, a voice from the heavens.
00:57:32
starts coming.
00:57:34
You're just describing Hellraiser because that's what you know of from Dead by
00:57:41
Daylight.
00:57:43
what I know about cubes in horror movies.
00:57:45
Is that stupid fucking puzzle.
00:57:49
where you solve the puzzle and he says, you summoned me, I came.
00:57:55
And so...
00:57:58
And one by one, they're trying to solve the puzzle, but they can't do it fast
00:58:01
enough, and he comes all over them.
00:58:05
and they die.
00:58:06
because of the cum.
00:58:09
Didn't think that far through, but probably.
00:58:11
right.
00:58:13
It's toxic.
00:58:14
Yeah.
00:58:16
But no, I think it stands.
00:58:17
I think the cube is a puzzle of some kind that needs to be solved.
00:58:22
Okay.
00:58:25
Or it's a source of great power.
00:58:28
Okay.
00:58:30
Obviously.
00:58:32
They're either trying to find a cube that is a source of great power or trying to
00:58:37
solve the cube because it's a puzzle and they don't, everybody dies.
00:58:42
The end.
00:58:43
dies.
00:58:46
Yeah.
00:58:47
Oh, there's probably also three people because cube.
00:58:51
Run that back for me.
00:58:52
power of three?
00:58:55
Cubed.
00:58:59
Okay, I think a lot of people associate like four with squares and cubes, but
00:59:05
that's fine.
00:59:06
because there's six sides to a cube.
00:59:08
You know.
00:59:09
You're not wrong.
00:59:11
Thank you.
00:59:13
Great, okay, so three detectives.
00:59:17
Mm -hmm.
00:59:18
are either solving a cube puzzle or it has power, they have to find it.
00:59:26
Everything.
00:59:27
Just some people.
00:59:29
Got it.
00:59:30
And then they don't.
00:59:32
And they die?
00:59:33
If the cube is a source of power, there's probably robots involved.
00:59:38
course.
00:59:40
If they don't find it everybody dies and I'm guessing that they don't find it and
00:59:46
they also don't solve it so They suck
00:59:51
This is a, this is a sad one.
00:59:55
No, nobody's winning here, huh?
00:59:57
Well I wouldn't say it's sad, but it is...
01:00:01
hopeless.
01:00:01
Not a lot of hope.
01:00:04
It's bleak.
01:00:06
Bleak.
01:00:08
Yeah.
01:00:09
Yeah, it's gonna be great.
01:00:12
You know?
01:00:12
Yeah.
01:00:13
I'm gonna Google it now.
01:00:15
No, don't.
01:00:17
I just wanna see the poster.
01:00:22
Well, it is a cube.
01:00:24
It's a cube.
01:00:26
It looks like fucking, what's it called?
01:00:31
Ehh...
01:00:32
Portal.
01:00:34
Yeah, a little bit, huh?
01:00:36
Yeah.
01:00:38
Well, in one in one poster, it looks like Portal and another poster, it looks like
01:00:42
the Tesseract from Transformers, right?
01:00:45
Is that what the Tesseract's from?
01:00:47
I don't know.
01:00:49
Great.
01:00:51
I don't actually know how much of this I should tell you.
01:00:55
Oh, okay.
01:00:56
I feel like, yeah, this might...
01:00:58
I don't know.
01:01:00
What do you think?
01:01:01
Yeah, do you like having a little hint of what it's going to be about or do you like
01:01:04
going in blind?
01:01:06
I should probably go in blind.
01:01:08
Yeah, I like that.
01:01:09
I'll just tell you this has a cult following.
01:01:13
That's it.
01:01:16
Okay, well, The Final Girls also has a cult following, so let's start there.
01:01:20
Um...
01:01:22
but from the poster alone, I can tell that this was not a great movie.
01:01:30
Jesus!
01:01:34
Well, I guess we'll find out next week.
01:01:40
