00:00:25
Hello.
00:00:27
Hi.
00:00:28
Hi.
00:00:30
Happy Tuesday.
00:00:31
Happy Tuesday.
00:00:33
Welcome back to Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:00:36
That's us.
00:00:38
That is us.
00:00:44
We're gonna start us off with some news.
00:00:48
I'll go first.
00:00:50
Okay.
00:00:52
Filming for Leigh Whannell's Wolfman, which is another installment in the
00:00:57
Universal Monsters or the Dark Universe brand.
00:01:00
Kicked off a couple weeks ago and the movie was set to be released just before
00:01:04
Halloween this year, but it's been bumped.
00:01:08
I know, we have to wait till January now.
00:01:10
Which isn't too much longer of a wait, but still 2025.
00:01:13
Yeah.
00:01:14
I'm looking forward to that one because of everybody who's attached to it.
00:01:18
Leigh, obviously, is exciting.
00:01:21
Christopher Abbott from Poor Things is playing Wolfman.
00:01:26
Lauren Blum, Jason's wife, is a writer on it.
00:01:32
And then Ryan Gosling is producing it.
00:01:36
It's just kind of like a fun little ensemble team.
00:01:38
Yeah, I like that.
00:01:39
Yeah.
00:01:43
I also have news on a movie that got pushed back.
00:01:46
A lot of pushbacks being happening.
00:01:48
I know, I'm kind of disappointed because I was looking forward to it.
00:01:51
But Cuckoo, the upcoming movie starring Hunter Schafer, was originally scheduled
00:01:56
to come out May 3rd.
00:01:58
It's been moved back three months to August 9th.
00:02:02
So, yeah.
00:02:05
I know, it looks really good, but they do have a new poster, so that's something.
00:02:09
Okay, as long as you give the people what they want.
00:02:13
Posters.
00:02:14
Yeah.
00:02:16
That's what everybody wants, right?
00:02:19
I mean, I know that's the top of my list.
00:02:22
Hahaha!
00:02:25
Um, speaking of Wolfman...
00:02:30
If you were like me as a kid and you were obsessed with Free Willy and your sexual
00:02:35
awakening was probably the dad in that movie and now as an adult you freak out
00:02:39
about horror movies, then boy do I have news for you.
00:02:45
I Thought you were going to say your sexual awakening was the whale.
00:02:48
Well, that's the part you don't say out loud.
00:02:52
Because Michael Madsen, who plays Glenn in Free Willy, plays the big baddie in a new
00:02:59
video on demand movie called Monster Mash.
00:03:03
Wow, they did the mash.
00:03:06
The monster mash.
00:03:09
film.
00:03:10
Madsen plays Dr.
00:03:11
Frankenstein, who has kidnapped Dracula's daughter.
00:03:14
Dracula then enlists Wolfman, the Invisible Man, and a few other friends to
00:03:18
help save her.
00:03:19
I saw the trailer.
00:03:20
It kind of looks like a DCOM or at the very least a passion project.
00:03:25
But hey, Daddy Glenn's in it, so I'll be supporting.
00:03:30
Interesting.
00:03:31
You know how every once in a while there's like movies that come out in Hollywood
00:03:36
that are basically the same movie?
00:03:38
Like No Strings Attached and Friends with Benefit came out the same year.
00:03:41
And it's typically because a script will get optioned off and then like people will
00:03:45
adapt it into different scripts and stuff like that.
00:03:47
And that's why they all happen.
00:03:49
I wonder if this has anything to do with Abigail.
00:03:53
Because Abigail is an upcoming movie that was originally titled Dracula's Daughter.
00:03:57
It's essentially supposed to be about...
00:04:00
the daughter of a vampire getting kidnapped.
00:04:02
Interesting.
00:04:03
So is Hotel Transylvania.
00:04:06
Oh my god, why is everybody kidnapping Dracula's daughter?
00:04:10
What is he, Liam Neeson?
00:04:11
What's happening?
00:04:12
Well, she doesn't get kidnapped in that one.
00:04:14
She just gets married.
00:04:16
This is the same thing.
00:04:19
Ask any married person.
00:04:21
Okay, married people have to stop doing that.
00:04:25
No one's making you get married.
00:04:28
Well, sometimes you do get made to get married.
00:04:33
That's true, and I feel terrible for those people, but...
00:04:38
I don't know.
00:04:39
Calm down married people.
00:04:42
Okay, your turn.
00:04:44
Okay, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 has been greenlit.
00:04:50
Oh, I'm so sick of talking about Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.
00:04:54
I haven't even seen the first or the second.
00:04:57
I should probably get on that.
00:05:00
But yeah, it got greenlit, it's got a bigger budget, they're adding in Rabbit,
00:05:04
heffalumps and woozles, so it's gonna be a party.
00:05:10
You know, I'm really sad we didn't take you on the Winnie the Pooh ride at
00:05:13
Disneyland while we were there because it's a fucking acid trip.
00:05:17
Interesting.
00:05:21
I guess I'll have to go back.
00:05:25
Kachow.
00:05:26
Kachow.
00:05:30
Last one for me.
00:05:33
James Wan is directing a Stephen King adaptation called The Monkey.
00:05:37
His short story.
00:05:39
And we finally have the full cast.
00:05:43
Theo James from White Lotus, I think was already announced.
00:05:46
He's also in Divergent.
00:05:47
Elijah Wood from Lord of the Rings, obviously.
00:05:50
Rohan Campbell from Halloween Ends and Sarah Levy from Schitt's Creek.
00:05:54
Also Eugene Levy's daughter.
00:05:58
Oh nice.
00:06:02
Yeah.
00:06:02
films wrapped so it could come out anytime.
00:06:07
Keep your eyes peeled.
00:06:08
Fans of Stephen King.
00:06:09
could come out any time.
00:06:14
It is coming out tomorrow.
00:06:16
I'm kidding.
00:06:19
It's not.
00:06:19
But we love an Elijah Wood mention.
00:06:22
Shout out Iowa.
00:06:25
Cool.
00:06:28
There's three celebrities from Iowa, okay?
00:06:33
So.
00:06:35
And he's the one we care about, so.
00:06:40
Um, Alright, last news from me.
00:06:44
It was announced that Adam Robitel, who's directed horror movies such as Escape
00:06:48
Room, The Taking of Deborah Logan and Insidious: The Last Key, is set to direct
00:06:53
the sequel to Ready or Not.
00:06:55
Samara Weaving is also set to return as Grace.
00:07:00
For those out there who have seen it, if you know, you know, I'm not really sure
00:07:05
the ending of that movie warranted a sequel, but I guess we'll have to see how
00:07:09
they make it work.
00:07:11
So yeah.
00:07:14
You don't know, but they know.
00:07:17
Everybody else knows.
00:07:19
The people know.
00:07:20
That's what matters.
00:07:22
Yeah.

00:07:30
Please?
00:07:32
Please?
00:07:34
Anyway, we're actually here to talk about the 1976 horror film, The Omen.
00:07:45
Take it away, kd.
00:07:47
Yes.
00:07:49
Okay, American diplomat Robert, played by Gregory Peck, adopts Damien when his wife,
00:07:55
Catherine, played by Lee Remick, delivers a stillborn child.
00:08:01
After Damien's first nanny hangs herself, Father Brennan warns Robert that Damien
00:08:06
will kill Catherine's unborn child.
00:08:09
Shortly thereafter, Brennan dies and Catherine miscarries when Damien pushes
00:08:13
her off the balcony.
00:08:14
As more people around Damien die, Robert investigates Damien's background and
00:08:18
realizes
00:08:19
His adopted son may be the Antichrist.
00:08:24
Like I said, it stars Gregory Peck from To Kill A Mockingbird.
00:08:29
I knew I recognized him from somewhere.
00:08:31
It has an 84 % on Rotten Tomatoes, a 62 % on Metacritic.
00:08:35
It's won all sorts of awards.
00:08:37
It has $60 .9 million in earnings from the box office on a $2 .8 million budget.
00:08:45
Crazy.
00:08:47
60 .9.
00:08:52
Ayyyy.
00:08:52
Yeah the kid's the antichrist.
00:08:54
Tough Break, that's rough.
00:09:00
Really unfortunate.
00:09:01
Yeah, parenthood.
00:09:03
Am I right?
00:09:04
Yeah, I think a lot of parents think that about their own children.
00:09:08
I think that about other people's children, not my own.
00:09:12
I don't have a child to think that about, but sometimes I see kids and I'm like,
00:09:16
yeah.
00:09:18
Apparently the kid that played Damien actually was the Antichrist though.
00:09:25
Like straight up people hated working with him.
00:09:28
He was chosen for his role for a reason.
00:09:33
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:36
Do you want to tell people the reason?
00:09:38
wanna - I'll tell them.
00:09:40
Okay, yeah, you tell them.
00:09:41
I'll tell them.
00:09:43
So in casting, apparently casting this child was a nightmare, which is really
00:09:48
hard to find the perfect fit.
00:09:51
And then Harvey is the kid's name, comes to his audition.
00:09:55
The director says to come at me.
00:09:58
And he fucking does.
00:09:59
That kid rips that guy apart.
00:10:03
He's like kicking him in the face, kicking him in the groin, clawing at him.
00:10:07
Like he had to be torn away from the director.
00:10:11
Yeah.
00:10:12
And then the director's like, yep, that's the one.
00:10:16
That's our kid.
00:10:19
Insane.
00:10:21
Yeah, well, that kid's been waiting his whole life to get permission to attack
00:10:26
someone.
00:10:27
Yeah, what his whole life he was like five.
00:10:31
Yeah, that's true.
00:10:33
Yeah, Billy Whitelaw, who plays the second nanny.
00:10:38
I can't remember her name.
00:10:40
Bay - Bay - Baylock.
00:10:45
Nailed it.
00:10:48
Baylock, as you can see in the reflection of my glasses, me like opening the IMDb to
00:10:52
see it.
00:10:55
She said that he was always misbehaving on set and that he was
00:10:59
just awful.
00:11:01
That's a direct quote: "He was just awful."
00:11:08
They like taunted him too, apparently.
00:11:12
Like they tried to get -
00:11:13
the director's tactics were questionable.
00:11:19
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:22
they like taunted and they're like, we're gonna come over there and goose ya if you
00:11:29
don't act angry.
00:11:31
And then he would act angry.
00:11:32
Whatever works.
00:11:34
I don't know, I think I'm a firm, I think I'm a firm believer that children just
00:11:40
shouldn't be actors.
00:11:43
I know movies like this couldn't really exist without it, but like just dress up
00:11:47
an adult in a way I can say he's a five year old, I don't care.
00:11:50
I'd rather see that than kids on set, because as we know now, Hollywood is a
00:11:57
terrible place for adults, let alone children.
00:12:02
We see that time and time again, but it's just, just use a puppet.
00:12:07
There's a reason why there's child labor laws, which for some reason don't matter
00:12:15
when it comes to Hollywood for some reason.
00:12:17
I don't know.
00:12:18
I don't know.
00:12:20
Yeah.
00:12:24
You know who was fun to work with?
00:12:25
with.
00:12:28
Who?
00:12:28
The dogs.
00:12:30
Yeah.
00:12:32
Apparently, the biggest problem working with them was that the dog just wanted to
00:12:37
lick everybody.
00:12:38
Just such a friendly little pup.
00:12:41
which is so cute.
00:12:42
I love that.
00:12:44
And also I read that the, like the popularity of Rottweilers increased after
00:12:50
this movie came out, which I also really enjoy because a lot of the times when
00:12:56
animals are shown as, you know, scary in a movie, it impacts them.
00:13:01
Just look at Jaws, like I'll never forgive Jaws for what it did to sharks, but.
00:13:09
But yeah, so it's nice that Rottweilers didn't get demonized for this.
00:13:14
Yeah.
00:13:15
They're just sweet boys.
00:13:17
Yeah, remember the Rottweiler in P2?
00:13:19
Oh yeah!
00:13:20
That didn't cause a spike in adoptions of Rottweilers.
00:13:24
That's because nobody watched P2.
00:13:26
True, true, true, which is too bad.
00:13:33
Yeah, also speaking of animals in this movie, there's a scene where the fishbowl
00:13:40
falls to the ground and they just bought like sardines that you eat and they
00:13:48
painted them orange and used that because Richard Donner refused to kill any
00:13:54
goldfish for the movie.
00:13:57
That's cute.
00:13:59
Yeah.
00:14:00
You know, in order to buy the sardines they have to be killed.
00:14:06
Yeah, yeah, but he I did think he was like they're already dead.
00:14:09
So that's you know, you can make use of them.
00:14:12
We're not gonna kill goldfish.
00:14:14
They can still live
00:14:17
I suppose.
00:14:18
But then you just wasted food.
00:14:22
Okay, I'll let Richard Donner know.
00:14:24
Next time we'll just fucking kill some goldfish.
00:14:28
Jesus.
00:14:29
I'm just joking.
00:14:32
I'm joking.
00:14:33
I'm joking.
00:14:35
me that.
00:14:36
I can't stop.
00:14:38
I can't stop quoting that.
00:14:39
Give me that.
00:14:42
Apparently they like made the baboons attack the car too.
00:14:46
Speaking of animals.
00:14:48
Yeah, which also like you're so adamant about not killing a goldfish, but yet
00:14:52
you'll like kidnap.
00:14:54
I've heard two different stories, one that they kidnapped the baboon baby and kept it
00:14:59
in the car.
00:15:00
And then the other was that that didn't work.
00:15:02
So they had to take like the leader of them and put him in the car and that
00:15:08
finally got them going.
00:15:09
So I don't know which is true, but I heard both of those in different articles and
00:15:15
stuff.
00:15:16
So I don't know.
00:15:18
But...
00:15:20
That seems questionable.
00:15:22
yeah, and apparently Lee Remick, her like reaction is absolutely genuine because
00:15:29
those baboons were pissed.
00:15:32
Yeah.
00:15:35
Yeah.
00:15:35
How'd they get the giraffes to run away?
00:15:38
What'd they do to them?
00:15:39
Sneeze?
00:15:41
Giraffes are so skittish.
00:15:43
Literally breathe incorrectly.
00:15:46
That's fair.
00:15:46
Yeah.
00:15:48
That scene reminded me of the scene in, uh, not Lord of the Rings.
00:15:51
What the hell?
00:15:52
Last of Us?
00:15:54
Yeah.
00:15:56
No, Last of Us.
00:15:59
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:01
It's like one of my favorite scenes in a video game.
00:16:03
Yeah, that is a good scene.
00:16:04
Yeah.
00:16:05
Um, Mrs.
00:16:07
Baylock, the new nanny that comes in, I think originally she was supposed to be
00:16:14
like all friendly and Irish.
00:16:16
And then, uh, they kind of changed it because Billy Whitelaw did her audition
00:16:23
and did it more cold and the way that it's appeared in the, yeah, in the film.
00:16:29
And they decided that that's what they would go with, but she wasn't.
00:16:34
they weren't sure if they even wanted to keep her at first.
00:16:38
And they ended up only keeping her character because of Billy Whitelaw's
00:16:42
performance.
00:16:43
They just loved her so much they didn't want to cut her scenes.
00:16:47
But basically there was like a golden rule that nothing was allowed in the script
00:16:53
that couldn't happen in real life.
00:16:55
So they didn't want any apparitions or demons or entities or anything like that.
00:17:00
And they felt like...
00:17:01
Mrs.
00:17:02
Baylock was so over the top, like obviously evil, that it was pretty clear
00:17:08
that, you know, she was sent straight from hell, right?
00:17:13
So they wanted more ambiguity at the beginning and they felt like that kind of
00:17:19
took it away.
00:17:20
So yeah, which I honestly, if I'm being real, I feel like they should have left
00:17:27
her out.
00:17:28
I think I would have liked it better if you weren't sure if he actually was evil
00:17:34
or if this was just a series of crazy coincidences and the dad was losing his
00:17:39
mind about it.
00:17:40
You know what I mean?
00:17:40
Yeah, totally.
00:17:41
Yeah, she took any...
00:17:44
Uncertainty out of it.
00:17:46
Yeah.
00:17:48
Yeah, it was...
00:17:51
Yeah, because I mean, the minute she walks in, I'm here to protect you and he gives
00:17:55
this evil look, like it's like, okay, there it is.
00:17:57
And that's pretty early on in the movie.
00:17:59
So I think from then on, you know, okay, he actually is the Antichrist and it's not
00:18:04
just this paranoia that's taken over.
00:18:08
And I think I would have liked it better if it was just paranoia that took over.
00:18:13
Yep, agreed.
00:18:15
Yeah.
00:18:15
Agreed.
00:18:16
Gregory Peck literally came out of retirement to be in this movie,
00:18:21
supposedly, which I guess helped the director and the crew get more people
00:18:28
signed on to the film because it kind of validated it that oh Gregory Peck so
00:18:34
interested in it.
00:18:34
He's going to be in it like it must be good.
00:18:37
We've got something here, you know.
00:18:39
But I guess he said that he took the opportunity
00:18:44
because he kind of also felt that guilt, that fatherly guilt, because his son had
00:18:51
just recently passed from suicide a few years prior.
00:18:56
So he accepted the role of the tortured father to kind of deal with that.
00:19:04
Which is rough.
00:19:06
Yeah, yeah, that's awful.
00:19:09
I feel like that's kind of...
00:19:12
We talked a little bit about that during The Final Girls where they wrote the
00:19:16
script after the loss of their parents and as a way to deal with that through the
00:19:20
art.
00:19:21
I'm glad that he had an outlet to work through that, but that's also...
00:19:25
Doesn't make it any easier, I'm sure.
00:19:29
Yeah.
00:19:32
He also, when he took the role, he took a huge cut in his salary.
00:19:40
But then he took our advice.
00:19:46
And he wanted a guaranteed 10 % of the film's box office gross.
00:19:51
And since it went on to make more than $60 million in the US alone, it became one of
00:19:57
his highest paid performances.
00:19:58
Always take royalties.
00:20:01
Royalties, royalties.
00:20:07
Number one rule in Hollywood, always take royalties.
00:20:10
Always take royalties yep
00:20:13
Although I'm sure we only hear about the success stories of that, like there's
00:20:16
probably someone who's like, oh yeah, I took a cut in my salary just to get
00:20:20
royalties and then made like $10 and they were like, oh, shouldn't have done that.
00:20:27
It's worth the risk.
00:20:29
If you don't need the money up front, it's worth the risk.
00:20:31
If you need the money up front, I mean, maybe think about it, but.
00:20:35
Yeah.
00:20:36
Yeah.
00:20:38
The other thing about Gregory Peck, well, two things.
00:20:41
One, Dick Van Dyke was supposed to be in this role, which I don't know if you know
00:20:48
Dick Van Dyke from anything other than Mary Poppins, but.
00:20:53
He had a whole show.
00:20:55
He did.
00:20:56
He did also have his own show.
00:20:59
But yeah, I just he said that it was stupid to have turned down that film.
00:21:02
His word stupid.
00:21:05
But anyway, back to Gregory Peck.
00:21:09
He apparently needed to re film a lot of scenes because he refused to be seen with
00:21:15
a double chin.
00:21:19
That's so real of him.
00:21:22
Honestly, the most real thing I've ever heard about a celebrity ever.
00:21:29
100%.
00:21:30
That would absolutely be me.
00:21:32
I'd see the dailies and be like, we need a reshoot.
00:21:35
There's no way.
00:21:37
There's no way this bad boy is getting there.
00:21:39
No, I'm literally looking at my double chin right now and I'm like, do we refilm
00:21:43
this episode?
00:21:46
Every time I cut down on TikTok, I'm like, kd reshoots now.
00:21:54
Yeah.
00:21:56
Yeah, I love that.
00:21:57
I love that little fun fact.
00:22:02
Do you want to know my other fun fact that doesn't have anything to do with Gregory
00:22:06
Peck?
00:22:08
David Warner, he plays Jennings in this, the photographer that finds out the omens
00:22:19
that are signifying people's deaths and then works with the dad.
00:22:24
He kept his severed head because he gets decapitated in the film.
00:22:31
He also refused to watch that scene, but he kept the head for years until he got
00:22:38
divorced and his ex -wife got custody of it.
00:22:41
Oh no!
00:22:44
Maybe she watched the scene and they thought she appreciated it more.
00:22:48
Aww, sad.
00:22:51
One of these days it's gonna go up on auction.
00:22:54
How on earth do you lose custody of your own head?
00:22:57
That's crazy.
00:22:58
Insane.
00:23:00
That is insane.
00:23:02
Sorry, I'm laughing at this man's divorce.
00:23:04
I'm sorry David Warner, if you're out, if you're, I don't even know if, I don't know
00:23:07
if he's out there.
00:23:09
Probably dead, but you know well, let's look yeah
00:23:14
2022.
00:23:16
Apologies to him.
00:23:18
Who?
00:23:19
he's in Titanic, by the way.
00:23:20
Um, he looks like
00:23:23
the guy in Harry Potter whose name is...
00:23:30
I don't remember.
00:23:32
But he looks like a guy in Harry Potter.
00:23:35
Bill Weasley.
00:23:39
You think that man looks like Bill Weasley when he's young?
00:23:47
Like in this movie?
00:23:49
In the Omen, he looks like Bill Weasley, yes.
00:23:51
I mean, not like as an old man.
00:23:55
Hold on, hold on.
00:23:58
David Warner The Omen.
00:24:01
No.
00:24:02
Nope.
00:24:02
I'm not seeing it, babe.
00:24:05
Yeah, I'm not seeing it at all.
00:24:08
That's insane.
00:24:10
Sorry.
00:24:12
Well, I see it.
00:24:13
I'm sure there's somebody else out there that sees it.
00:24:15
I mean they both have, you know, eyes and noses.
00:24:18
Is that what you're talking about or?
00:24:20
have blue eyes that are incredibly set back underneath straight perpendicular or
00:24:25
parallel eyebrows to the ground with a somewhat larger nose.
00:24:31
No, David Warner's eyes are much more set back.
00:24:39
You know what?
00:24:40
We can post up some pics.
00:24:41
I don't see the resemblance.
00:24:42
This feels like a very Michelle comparison on your end.
00:24:49
Michelle is our friend who has face blindness.
00:24:52
Literally.
00:24:55
But what are you going to do?
00:24:57
You don't always hit.
00:25:01
I see it.
00:25:04
Great.
00:25:04
well...
00:25:06
Anyway...
00:25:10
I'm going to talk more about the decapitation scene.
00:25:13
it is my favorite part of the whole movie.
00:25:15
It's a good one.
00:25:17
It's not my favorite decapitation scene.
00:25:20
What is your favorite decapitation scene?
00:25:22
of the three that we've seen, Hereditary.
00:25:27
Yeah, Friday the 13th.
00:25:30
Yeah, Hereditary and this.
00:25:32
Those are like the three decapitation scenes in horror.
00:25:36
We've seen them all now.
00:25:39
Yeah?
00:25:40
Nothing left to see here.
00:25:41
Yeah, Hereditary is by far the best.
00:25:43
This is second, followed by Friday the 13th, which I remember none of.
00:25:48
No, it's literally the ending scene.
00:25:51
That's how she kills Mrs.
00:25:55
Voorhees.
00:25:57
I remember it because it's funny.
00:26:01
And I remember this because it's funny.
00:26:06
That's actually, fun fact.
00:26:08
I've only seen this movie one other time.
00:26:10
So this was actually kind of interesting because it was it honestly kind of felt
00:26:15
like my first time watching this movie because I haven't watched it since like.
00:26:19
I was probably 12 or 13.
00:26:21
I know and I watched it because my cousin made me watch it because he was like, this
00:26:25
is so funny.
00:26:26
And we watched the decapitation scene.
00:26:28
Well, we watched the whole thing, but we rewound and watched it multiple times
00:26:33
because it was kind of fun.
00:26:34
Like the different angles and stuff.
00:26:37
It was so dramatic.
00:26:38
But actually, Richard Donner, that was like his intention when he edited it.
00:26:43
Edited the scene.
00:26:47
Got it?
00:26:48
Because he wanted to have it in a way that if you closed your eyes when it was about
00:26:52
to happen, that when you opened them, it was still happening.
00:26:55
So you couldn't avoid it.
00:26:57
Oh my God, that's so funny.
00:26:59
And I really love that.
00:27:02
And then also like the wine spilling down was supposed to be blood because if they
00:27:07
would have actually put blood, apparently that would have given them an X rating.
00:27:10
So they had the wine spill instead.
00:27:14
Yeah, there's actually like not a lot of blood in this movie.
00:27:18
Yeah, no, not really.
00:27:19
Yeah, they kind of did the deaths in ways that it wouldn't.
00:27:25
Is blood what makes it X?
00:27:28
I don't know if back then that might've been more of a factor.
00:27:33
Cause that was, like there were a lot of comparisons to The Exorcist when this came
00:27:38
out as well.
00:27:39
I mean, critics like tore into The Exorcist when it came out because it was
00:27:44
so gratuitously gory and this movie came out and a lot of people praised it because
00:27:51
of its discreet use of gore.
00:27:55
So yeah.
00:27:57
But I think the decapitation scene was almost what gave it an X.
00:28:01
Sorry.
00:28:04
The decapitation scene was what almost got it an X rating, but it didn't.
00:28:11
Imagine thinking that The Exorcist is gory.
00:28:15
I don't even think that.
00:28:16
Well, you saw a TV version of it.
00:28:20
Oh, true.
00:28:22
That's true.
00:28:23
I should watch it again.
00:28:24
Yes, there were some scenes that were definitely cut out because they could not
00:28:30
be aired on cable television.
00:28:33
Yeah.
00:28:34
So there definitely were some gory bits in that movie.
00:28:38
Obviously, we've come a long way since then and there's insane shit in movies now
00:28:43
that just wasn't a thing back then.
00:28:45
But I would say The Exorcist...
00:28:48
I think it holds up in terms of...
00:28:51
It's impact.
00:28:57
Yeah.
00:28:57
Back to Damien.
00:28:59
Great.
00:29:01
Damien was originally gonna be called Domlin.
00:29:05
because the writer David Seltzer had a friend who had a kid named Domlin and real
00:29:14
life Domlin was obnoxious.
00:29:16
So he was like, this is the perfect name for this kid.
00:29:20
But David Seltzer's wife was like, you cannot do that.
00:29:23
Please don't do that.
00:29:25
So we just changed it a tiny bit to Damien.
00:29:28
Yeah, I think that's also really funny.
00:29:31
I would absolutely make a terrible character someone that I didn't like in
00:29:37
real life.
00:29:37
That's hilarious.
00:29:41
Also, it reminds me of...
00:29:46
The Adam Sandler movie, Just Go With It.
00:29:50
Have you ever seen that?
00:29:51
Oh, well, Jennifer Aniston's character in it, like has her kids call their number
00:30:00
twos Devlins because that's the name of a girl that she hated.
00:30:05
They just call their poops Devlins.
00:30:09
And I think that's really funny.
00:30:12
Yeah.
00:30:13
That's immediately what I thought of when I read that.
00:30:17
Devlin.
00:30:19
Devlin.
00:30:24
Is, um, unrelated.
00:30:26
Changing the subject.
00:30:28
Is there some sort of curse associated with this movie?
00:30:32
Oh, okay.
00:30:34
Never mind.
00:30:35
I thought I read something about that.
00:30:38
I'm shutting down 40 years of people talking about a curse about this movie
00:30:44
right here right now.
00:30:45
There's no curse.
00:30:46
Okay, well.
00:30:49
And it's that easy.
00:30:51
No.
00:30:53
No.
00:30:55
You're correct in saying that people think that this movie was cursed, much like they
00:31:00
thought The Exorcist was cursed, much like they thought Poltergeist was cursed.
00:31:05
I honestly think it was mainly PR just seizing the opportunity of coincidences
00:31:13
and accidents and capitalizing on that.
00:31:16
And I don't know.
00:31:18
I think it's so fucked up.
00:31:19
And also a lot of it hasn't been verified.
00:31:25
But like there's a thing about...
00:31:27
Well it's like, oh like two people's planes got hit by lightning on the way to
00:31:32
set and it's like, okay, planes get hit by lightning like a shocking amount.
00:31:36
Like that's not uncommon at all.
00:31:38
And also if they're both flying into the same storm, not that weird.
00:31:43
And then there was also a rumor that...
00:31:46
Gregory Peck had to reschedule his flight and the flight he was gonna be on went
00:31:49
down and everybody died.
00:31:51
And I'm like, first of all, only Hollywood would see a plane crash where every person
00:31:57
died and be like, oh my God, our set's cursed.
00:32:00
Go fuck yourself.
00:32:02
Like, those people died.
00:32:04
I don't think you had anything to do with that.
00:32:09
So yeah, it's just things like that that I, no.
00:32:14
And also I'm me, so I don't believe in curses and shit like that.
00:32:17
I think it's stupid.
00:32:18
And I think it's capitalizing on tragedies.
00:32:21
And I don't like it.
00:32:23
And also Richard Donner is a firm non -believer too, so.
00:32:28
Oh, okay, well then.
00:32:29
in the curse.
00:32:30
Yeah.
00:32:33
Anyways, sorry for all The Omen Curse believers out there.
00:32:42
Would love to hear from those people.
00:32:45
You can honestly you can google The Omen curse and you'll find copious amounts of
00:32:52
articles Yeah Yeah, oh, okay, and you still at you were like oh, this is gonna
00:33:00
be fun to talk about I just shut it down
00:33:02
Yeah.
00:33:04
Well, you know.
00:33:06
I'm so sorry.
00:33:07
That's okay.
00:33:13
I was gonna say, you know, this is what it feels like when you shut me down when I'm
00:33:19
talking about scores, because I was trying to teach you a lesson, but that's also you
00:33:24
shutting me down.
00:33:25
So that didn't do anything to help my case.
00:33:28
But do you wanna talk about scores?
00:33:31
I would love nothing more to talk about scores since I so rudely shut you down on
00:33:37
the curse.
00:33:39
tried to make a segue.
00:33:42
So Jerry Goldsmith is the composer.
00:33:44
He did not want to go to the Oscar ceremony because he had been nominated
00:33:49
twice before.
00:33:50
He hadn't won.
00:33:51
He's like, what is the fucking point?
00:33:53
I can't handle losing again.
00:33:54
I'm not going to go.
00:33:55
But he did.
00:33:56
He won.
00:33:58
He won for best original score, his only win.
00:34:02
And then Ave Satani is the original song was nominated for Best Original Song.
00:34:08
It's the only song from a horror movie to be nominated.
00:34:11
for Best Original Song.
00:34:13
Which is kind of crazy.
00:34:15
Yeah, I mean...
00:34:17
I'm -
00:34:17
iconic scores in horror movies.
00:34:20
I guess song itself.
00:34:22
itself, yeah, but I mean, Hannibal?
00:34:25
by Hans Zimmer.
00:34:26
should have at least been a contender.
00:34:28
I don't know, I don't think it was nominated.
00:34:31
The academy doesn't know anything, kd.
00:34:33
I really don't.
00:34:35
I was looking the other day on how to be part of the voting.
00:34:39
Yeah.
00:34:40
Couldn't find anything.
00:34:41
Yeah, it's...
00:34:44
Do they even really vote?
00:34:45
I'm pretty sure you just pay for your Oscars.
00:34:47
It's like the Hollywood stars, you know?
00:34:51
I don't know.
00:34:53
Well, I don't think you actually pay for it, but I do think there's the whole
00:34:57
campaigning thing that happens that I think heavily, heavily sways the decisions
00:35:03
that are made.
00:35:04
Yeah, of course.
00:35:07
Yeah.
00:35:09
But yeah, I knew that.
00:35:11
And so I was paying attention to the score this time.
00:35:15
I didn't like it.
00:35:18
Okay, I was like, maybe I am really bad at scores, but I feel validated that you
00:35:23
didn't like it either because it felt very loud and not fun to listen to.
00:35:30
It did add to the humor sometimes.
00:35:35
There you go.
00:35:36
I was like, hearty laughing throughout this.
00:35:40
We should do how funny it was at this time because I thought this movie was very
00:35:44
funny.
00:35:45
It was so funny when they zoom in on the dog looking at the first nanny and it's
00:35:50
like, da da da!
00:35:51
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, that was, yes.
00:35:54
That got me, that got me.
00:35:56
There were moments like that where it was just like obviously like the style of
00:36:03
films has changed a lot so now it just feels so ridiculous.
00:36:09
So there were just cheesy moments like that where I was having a blast.
00:36:14
I thought this was a romp.
00:36:18
Watching this did make me think about, are people gonna feel that same amount of
00:36:26
cringe watching today's movies in 30 years, 40 years?
00:36:30
And how could they possibly feel that way?
00:36:32
Because our movies now are really well made, you know what mean?
00:36:36
Yeah.
00:36:37
Who's to say?
00:36:40
Time will tell.
00:36:42
Yeah, catch us on episode 975 of Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:36:53
We'll grow with that.
00:36:57
Because like I know my mom, my mom has talked about how when she was a
00:37:00
babysitter, she watched The Birds and she was like losing her mind.
00:37:05
It was the scariest thing she'd ever seen.
00:37:08
And she's like, I rewatched that when I was in my 40s.
00:37:11
And I was like, this is so dumb.
00:37:16
You can tell that the dead body is a dummy.
00:37:19
So it's like.
00:37:20
Yeah, that's what I'm saying though.
00:37:22
Like in 40 years, are we going to look back on today's movies and think that or
00:37:25
have we peaked?
00:37:27
I don't know.
00:37:29
Hard to say.
00:37:30
I know.
00:37:34
I don't think I can ever look back on some movies today and think that they were bad.
00:37:40
I can think of one off the top of my head.
00:37:43
I can think of a lot of movies today that I think are bad right now, but that's
00:37:47
not...
00:37:48
I'm saying like, well, there's still critically acclaimed movies that I think
00:37:52
are ass, but like, the movies that I love right now, I don't know if I'll look back
00:37:58
on them and think like, that doesn't look good.
00:38:02
Right?
00:38:03
That's what I'm saying.
00:38:05
Because it's just like, we've peaked.
00:38:09
We've done a very good job at making things look realistic.
00:38:12
But I also think we've kind of like almost gone too far into the CGI world where we
00:38:18
might keep going with that and then it's not gonna look good.
00:38:23
Because like I think a lot of the Marvel movies are not gonna age well.
00:38:27
I think you're gonna look back at that and be like, that looks like a green screen.
00:38:31
You know what I mean?
00:38:33
Do.
00:38:34
already do like Iron Man looks terrible.
00:38:37
I personally even think and this is coming from me, I think Avatar is going to age
00:38:41
out at some point here pretty soon to the original one.
00:38:44
The second one, maybe not so much.
00:38:45
But the first one is getting it feels clunky.
00:38:50
After seeing some of the other movies, especially the second one compared to the
00:38:55
second one.
00:38:56
agree more.
00:38:58
I have coming from someone who watched the first five minutes 10 times, it couldn't
00:39:03
get through it.
00:39:04
No, I did watch the ponytail sex scene.
00:39:09
I had to see what people were talking about.
00:39:11
That scene holds up.
00:39:12
It's okay.
00:39:12
You know.
00:39:15
It was fine.
00:39:17
I just had to see what all the hubbub was about, you know?
00:39:21
Were people like into that or something?
00:39:24
No, it was just like people kept talking about it like, oh my god He fucks her with
00:39:29
his ponytail.
00:39:30
Yeah, and I was like, whoa what?
00:39:34
Google that scene real quick.
00:39:36
Whoa.
00:39:40
I had to see.
00:39:41
I had to find out what was going on.
00:39:42
avatarxhub .com.
00:39:47
Not that I've ever been there.
00:39:50
Oh, that's a real site?
00:39:54
Is it?
00:39:54
Say sike, is it?
00:39:55
I know what I'm doing after we finish.
00:39:57
hahahaha
00:40:03
Oh my goodness, okay, what, what were we talking about?
00:40:07
The Omen.
00:40:09
We can talk about Avatar some more if you want.
00:40:11
No, no, I don't want to talk about Avatar at all.
00:40:14
The Omen.
00:40:17
Which was originally going to be called Antichrist.
00:40:19
And then it was going to be called The Birthmark.
00:40:24
But then apparently they changed the title.
00:40:27
Well, OK, so there was like a large portion that was being shot in the
00:40:32
maternity ward because of the beginning scene.
00:40:35
And.
00:40:36
the crew would put up signs saying filming The Birthmark and apparently like patients
00:40:41
would complain because they didn't want mentions of birthmarks in the maternity
00:40:46
ward because that was going to bring bad luck which apparently was a thing back
00:40:50
then.
00:40:51
Now I think it's the opposite.
00:40:52
I think now birthmarks are seen as good luck but I don't know what a weird thing.
00:40:57
So they just started changing the signs to filming The Omen, just as a placeholder
00:41:01
and it just stuck.
00:41:04
And I just found a birthmark on myself like the other day.
00:41:07
Oh, that you've never seen before?
00:41:10
I know, I never really noticed it.
00:41:12
Is it a mole?
00:41:13
Because you should go to the doctor.
00:41:16
Okay.
00:41:17
Yeah, without question.
00:41:18
It's like, yeah, it's not a mole.
00:41:21
Yeah, I have a birthmark, but it's on my ear, so no one will ever see it.
00:41:28
Yeah.
00:41:31
My headphones cover it.
00:41:35
It makes me kind of want to get a tattoo on my scalp.
00:41:38
You know, 666.
00:41:40
Wouldn't that be cute?
00:41:41
Wouldn't that be cute?
00:41:42
just like a fun little Mark of the Beast.
00:41:45
can't see it, but it's there and it's cute and you can tell people about it and be
00:41:50
like, oh yeah, have you ever seen The Omen?
00:41:51
Look, you know, if it ever comes up in conversation.
00:41:57
Oh yeah, The Omen.
00:41:58
like branded though so that it's scarred.
00:42:01
But then hair wouldn't grow there, you know?
00:42:05
That's true.
00:42:06
Yeah.
00:42:09
I can just get it elsewhere.
00:42:09
I can get it on my thigh like the priest.
00:42:12
His is on his thigh.
00:42:14
His is on his thigh.
00:42:16
Cute.
00:42:18
Yeah.
00:42:18
I have some fun facts about the writing process.
00:42:21
Okay.
00:42:23
So a lot of writers refused to work on it because of the subject matter.
00:42:28
And then initially David Seltzer, who ended up writing it, refused the offer
00:42:35
because, well, I don't know why he initially refused it, but then he realized
00:42:41
he'd never read the Bible.
00:42:42
So he was like, yeah, I'll give it a go.
00:42:45
Also he needed to do it for money.
00:42:48
So he was like, yeah, I should probably say yes.
00:42:52
Get that bag.
00:42:53
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:54
And then he set it in London because he wanted to go on a trip.
00:42:59
He knew he'd get to go.
00:43:01
So he just set it in London.
00:43:03
But he is quoted as saying, "I did it strictly for the money.
00:43:07
I was flat broke.
00:43:08
I do find it horrifying how many people believe all the silliness." And he's also
00:43:13
admitted that he made up the poem that was allegedly from the Book of Revelation.
00:43:18
So there were no there were there were quotes in there.
00:43:23
The verses Father Brennan quotes about the eternal sea are non -biblical and written
00:43:27
for the movie.
00:43:29
But I think there is a detail about the Antichrist rising from the sea, which is
00:43:34
in Revelation 13.
00:43:36
But yeah, a lot of people were convinced after watching this that that quote and
00:43:43
Damien being like a biblical name were real.
00:43:46
They weren't.
00:43:48
Yeah, see, I got to watch this movie with my husband, who is a walking Bible.
00:43:53
So he knew.
00:43:56
knew.
00:43:57
Yeah, he went to Christian school all through school.
00:44:02
So he doesn't have the, he has the misfortune of having it ingrained in his
00:44:07
brain.
00:44:08
He's like, that's not, that's not in the Bible.
00:44:13
Anytime, even if I know, even if I know something's in the Bible, I'll be like, is
00:44:17
that in the Bible?
00:44:18
You can tell me.
00:44:22
I like that.
00:44:23
Yeah.
00:44:24
Well...
00:44:25
Should we rate it?
00:44:27
Sure.
00:44:28
Anything else?
00:44:29
Take that as a no.
00:44:30
we could probably talk for days about this, but there's, it's like, there's a
00:44:35
lot, you know?
00:44:36
But you guys, you're adults.
00:44:39
Go Google it yourself.
00:44:40
Yeah, we've already talked for 45 minutes.
00:44:44
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't need to listen to us anymore.
00:44:47
Uh, okay, let's rate it then.
00:44:50
How scary did you think it was?
00:44:52
one.
00:44:53
As I said, I was laughing a lot.
00:44:55
I just thought it was really funny.
00:44:57
Sorry.
00:44:59
What about you?
00:45:01
I gave it a 1 .5.
00:45:02
Okay.
00:45:02
only scene where I laughed was the decapitation scene.
00:45:05
Oh, not the dog?
00:45:07
dog and the woman.
00:45:09
But the dog standing up in the window with the stuffed animals, and it's like, you
00:45:17
can't really, I mean, you know it's the dog, but it's like.
00:45:21
Is that the dog?
00:45:23
You know?
00:45:25
Kind of freaked me out.
00:45:26
Yeah, just like some of the, yeah.
00:45:29
And then just, you know, the vibes.
00:45:33
I wasn't laughing, but it wasn't like really scary.
00:45:36
It was just a 1 .5.
00:45:38
Okay.
00:45:39
That's fair.
00:45:40
How sexy did you think it was?
00:45:42
Not even a little bit, but I gave it a 1 .5.
00:45:48
So maybe a little bit.
00:45:52
What did it for you?
00:45:54
don't, I think it was Gregory Peck.
00:45:55
I think it was his eyebrows.
00:45:58
Oh, okay.
00:45:59
But I don't know.
00:46:01
Just something, just something.
00:46:03
It was like...
00:46:04
compelled you to not give it a one.
00:46:06
Yeah, it was like, maybe it's the Antichrist.
00:46:09
Not the child, but like, you know, the thought of the Antichrist.
00:46:14
I don't know.
00:46:15
Emerging from the sea.
00:46:16
I don't know, but it wasn't a one.
00:46:20
Okay.
00:46:21
Did you give it a one?
00:46:23
Okay.
00:46:25
Yeah, I didn't.
00:46:28
It didn't do it for me.
00:46:31
Yeah.
00:46:34
Antichrist could be hot, but the Damien thing ruined it, you know?
00:46:39
It doesn't...
00:46:41
Eliminated everything, you know?
00:46:44
Yeah.
00:46:45
How fucked up did you think it was?
00:46:49
A one.
00:46:51
I've just seen better decapitations.
00:46:56
I have too, surprisingly enough.
00:47:00
seen the multiple Hereditary decapitations, this one feels pretty mild.
00:47:08
I only remember one decapitation in Hereditary.
00:47:11
There's more than one?
00:47:12
Yeah the mom.
00:47:15
Oh god yeah.
00:47:17
Oh fuck.
00:47:17
I remember that now.
00:47:18
Oh shit.
00:47:20
Jesus Christ.
00:47:26
No wonder I forgot that one.
00:47:28
Yeah, yeah.
00:47:30
Your brain was protecting you.
00:47:33
that was very intentional.
00:47:36
Ooh, yikes.
00:47:39
The other one was just fun.
00:47:42
Bonk.
00:47:46
That was wild.
00:47:48
Yeah.
00:47:48
But I mean, I gave it a 1 .5.
00:47:51
Okay, for the decapitation or?
00:47:53
mean, there is a decapitation.
00:47:56
There's not a lot of those.
00:47:58
Which we just established.
00:48:00
There's not a ton.
00:48:01
I'm trying to think if there's other horror movies with decapitations.
00:48:06
I'm sure there's some.
00:48:07
big three.
00:48:09
This Hereditary, which has two, so four, and Friday the 13th.
00:48:16
Oh, I didn't like the fence through the arm.
00:48:20
That was uncomfortable.
00:48:22
And I didn't like the pole through the shoulder.
00:48:28
Okay.
00:48:28
So just a little tiny bump to 1 .5, you know?
00:48:32
Got it.
00:48:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:33
Are you looking at a decapitation?
00:48:35
No, I just thought of one though.
00:48:37
Oh.
00:48:39
What?
00:48:39
can't believe I forgot it because I think it's my favorite decapitation in a movie
00:48:44
have I seen it?
00:48:46
No, you haven't.
00:48:49
You've seen the first film in the franchise it's in.
00:48:52
Oh, is it a Final Destination?
00:48:56
Oh, it is?
00:48:57
Oh, fun.
00:48:58
That makes sense.
00:48:59
That checks out.
00:49:00
It is, it is.
00:49:02
Yeah.
00:49:05
Those movies sound fun.
00:49:08
Oh, they're a blast!
00:49:11
I wouldn't know.
00:49:12
You haven't let me watch them yet.
00:49:16
Hahaha!
00:49:18
Sorry.
00:49:19
I do know that two girls die in tanning beds.
00:49:24
Yeah, I know you do.
00:49:25
You keep spoiling things for yourself.
00:49:29
Maybe when the sixth one comes out, we can do like a more thing.
00:49:34
Is that next year, I think?
00:49:36
I can't remember when that one drops, but I know.
00:49:42
Okay, overall, what did you think of The Omen?
00:49:47
I gave it a three.
00:49:50
It was okay.
00:49:52
Yeah.
00:49:52
I think it deserves a little extra credit for just how iconic it is.
00:50:02
Okay.
00:50:02
I really appreciate that they were able to make something
00:50:06
without having to show like spirits or monsters or anything and it still be
00:50:13
scary.
00:50:13
Like there was no possession, there was no exorcism, there was no demons, ghosts, any
00:50:20
of that.
00:50:22
They were able to make something scary based almost solely off tension.
00:50:27
I think that that's interesting and exciting.
00:50:31
And I really like Gregory Peck.
00:50:35
I didn't know that until this movie.
00:50:38
Because the only other thing I think I've ever seen him in is To Kill a Mockingbird
00:50:41
and he shoots a dog, so I hated him.
00:50:43
Fair.
00:50:43
But yeah.
00:50:46
Yeah, I give it a three.
00:50:49
What'd you give it?
00:50:50
I gave it a 2 .5.
00:50:55
I just like, I appreciate it for like it being a classic horror movie, but it's not
00:51:05
for me.
00:51:06
I think if they would have cut out the whole like evil nanny thing, maybe I would
00:51:10
have liked it a little bit better.
00:51:12
But as it is, I don't know.
00:51:14
I just felt like when I wasn't laughing, I was just really bored.
00:51:19
I don't know.
00:51:20
It was, it was very sloggy to me and.
00:51:24
It's just not my favorite movie.
00:51:26
And I was thinking back over like prior movies that we've rated and like, I think
00:51:32
I just owe an apology to The Thing and Evil Dead because I like both of those
00:51:36
more than this movie.
00:51:37
And I gave those bad scores.
00:51:40
They're much more fun to watch than this one.
00:51:45
So.
00:51:46
Dead is more fun to watch than this?
00:51:49
Yeah.
00:51:51
Crazy.
00:51:52
Evil Dead happens in one room.
00:51:55
So does Saw.
00:51:56
What do you mean?
00:51:58
Yeah but Saw does that well.
00:52:01
Yeah.
00:52:04
Hahaha!
00:52:07
I just think, yeah, I feel like, but that's a part of who I am as a person as
00:52:12
my mind changes all the time.
00:52:15
So as it stands right now, yeah, I would rate both of those above this one.
00:52:20
Crazy.
00:52:21
I just don't, I'm fine if I never watch this movie again.
00:52:29
Sorry.
00:52:30
Little disappointing, but I get it.
00:52:32
Yeah, I feel like that's yeah, a lot of people might not like that answer, but I
00:52:38
have to be true to my heart, you know?
00:52:41
And I just am not a fan of The Omen.
00:52:43
I gave it extra credit because of its reputation.
00:52:48
Yeah.
00:52:50
So, yeah.
00:52:52
A lot of horror enthusiasts love it.
00:52:55
This was included in a list of the 50 worst films of all time and how they got
00:53:03
that way.
00:53:03
And also my favorite thing that was said was that one critic nicknamed it
00:53:07
Rosemary's Boo Boo.
00:53:09
Which I think is really funny.
00:53:13
Yeah, which we'll watch that eventually too, but it's a much better film than my
00:53:19
opinion.
00:53:20
Oh.
00:53:22
Hmm.
00:53:27
Would you survive?
00:53:28
I think so.
00:53:30
Okay.
00:53:31
I don't see why not.
00:53:32
I mean, who am I in this?
00:53:35
I'm not having another kid.
00:53:40
My kid's not the Antichrist.
00:53:42
How do you know?
00:53:45
I just do.
00:53:46
Maybe your husband switched it up or like Gregory fucking Peck did in this movie.
00:53:52
Which is still crazy.
00:53:54
fact that he didn't even check to like, like he didn't even see the body.
00:54:00
Be like, I just want to see my son.
00:54:03
Why?
00:54:03
He wasn't there for the birth.
00:54:06
Bro was pulling up just to find out.
00:54:08
That was common in the 70s.
00:54:11
That was common.
00:54:15
Oh, we didn't even talk about the abortion thing.
00:54:20
Oh yeah yeah yeah, she's like, I want an abortion.
00:54:22
He's like, no.
00:54:25
But he wasn't like no because not your choice.
00:54:33
He explained it.
00:54:34
He said no because he believed in the Antichrist thing.
00:54:39
I think that character would have said yes, absolutely.
00:54:44
He would have supported her had he not been like embroiled in this Antichrist
00:54:48
thing.
00:54:52
I don't know.
00:54:53
There's no way to tell.
00:54:55
Yeah, you had a little thing for him, so you want to believe that.
00:55:00
Yeah.
00:55:00
Because he was a very supportive husband otherwise.
00:55:03
But, and he did say, he literally said, I have something to prove by keeping this
00:55:08
baby alive.
00:55:09
We have to keep the baby alive.
00:55:13
But like, so?
00:55:14
That still makes him a bad husband.
00:55:16
Well, if you know, if you know that it's going to kill your wife.
00:55:21
What the...
00:55:23
But he didn't know!
00:55:25
He didn't know anything!
00:55:27
That's the whole point!
00:55:29
He believed it to be true, that doesn't make it okay!
00:55:35
I don't know.
00:55:37
I don't know.
00:55:39
I don't know.
00:55:42
Terrible.
00:55:42
Terrible husband.
00:55:44
Okay.
00:55:46
I mean, yes, I agree and women's women have the choice.
00:55:51
Women's choice, obviously, duh.
00:55:55
But in this movie.
00:55:57
Boo!
00:55:58
Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes.
00:56:03
Well.
00:56:04
shit.
00:56:08
Yeah, this was...
00:56:10
back to would we survive?
00:56:13
This was kind of difficult to put myself in because like, I don't want a kid.
00:56:18
I'm never gonna have a kid.
00:56:20
So who am I here?
00:56:22
I'm not gonna be a nanny either.
00:56:23
That sounds terrible.
00:56:26
Mm -hmm.
00:56:27
You're the dog.
00:56:29
I'm the dog.
00:56:31
I'm living.
00:56:33
the dog live?
00:56:34
Yeah, yeah, the dog lives.
00:56:36
He just gets trapped downstairs.
00:56:38
Yeah.
00:56:39
But Damien lives, so I'm sure he went and got his friend.
00:56:42
Yeah, Damien has a sequel.
00:56:43
Yes, he does.
00:56:46
Which does not follow the plot, by the way.
00:56:49
He is not the president of America's son in that.
00:56:53
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
00:56:54
He's raised by like his uncle or something?
00:56:57
That's dumb.
00:56:58
Yeah.
00:57:00
Um, I don't know.
00:57:01
I just don't see myself in this situation.
00:57:03
Also, even if I did, I think I'd just be like a supportive parent.
00:57:09
Like I would not get wrapped up in this.
00:57:13
So even if my kid was the Antichrist, I'd probably be like enabling them.
00:57:17
So they'd probably let me off.
00:57:19
Easy.
00:57:22
I'd be like, follow your dreams, take over the world.
00:57:24
Hahaha!
00:57:29
Yeah.
00:57:31
son of Satan?
00:57:32
I would love to also be considered.
00:57:35
Hahaha!
00:57:37
Satan, hi!
00:57:40
he need a daughter?
00:57:47
Anyways...
00:57:49
we're livin'.
00:57:51
We're livin'.
00:57:53
Also, they were bad parents.
00:57:54
That scene at the beginning where they're walking through the park and just don't
00:57:59
even look, like they're not even paying attention to their toddler.
00:58:03
He just disappears.
00:58:04
They're like, oh, he's right behind us.
00:58:06
Why are you walking with your toddler behind you, first of all?
00:58:09
Especially next to a body of water?
00:58:11
Yeah, are you joking?
00:58:12
Yeah, that scene gave me so much anxiety.
00:58:16
Yeah.
00:58:16
like that.
00:58:17
You cannot leave your kid unattended around water.
00:58:22
Bad parents.
00:58:24
I have many times.
00:58:29
I just, I'm not, listen, I'm not gonna say they deserve it, but.
00:58:34
I'm joking, I'm joking.
00:58:39
But no, I agree, that's gonna give me a lot of anxiety.
00:58:41
terrible parenting.
00:58:45
Okay, are you ready to predict next week's film?
00:58:50
Okay, do you know what it is?
00:58:53
You do!
00:58:55
I wasn't expecting this.
00:58:59
All right, tell me what Tusk- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59:02
I already kind of...
00:59:05
Well, I gave you like a tiny, tiny hint, but what do you think Tusk is about?
00:59:12
Okay, you don't remember.
00:59:13
Great, go ahead.
00:59:15
Amazing.
00:59:18
Okay.
00:59:19
I think it's about.
00:59:22
Mm -hmm.
00:59:23
An American hunter,
00:59:24
who goes to Africa on a big game hunt.
00:59:31
Yes.
00:59:34
Yep.
00:59:35
is stalked by anti -poachers.
00:59:41
It's like an anti -poaching cult that's also sort of like religious-y.
00:59:47
Ooh, okay.
00:59:49
and they don't have laws and they for the benefit of the animals are allowed to kill
00:59:57
whoever they want.
00:59:58
Thank God.
00:59:59
Yeah.
01:00:00
So they're going after the hunter guy and his like little crew of like, you know,
01:00:10
people that he has to bring with him and killing them all off one by one.
01:00:14
I love it.
01:00:15
It's like justice and it's called Tusk because the final kill is the hunter guy.
01:00:24
after he kills an animal with a tusk probably a rhino.
01:00:29
Ugh.
01:00:30
the poachers take the tusk and then ram it through the guy's skull.
01:00:36
Nice.
01:00:38
It's a great final scene to a movie.
01:00:40
I mean, I'd love to see it.
01:00:43
Yeah, me too.
01:00:44
Well, unfortunately you won't be because not even a little bit close to what Tusk
01:00:50
is about.
01:00:52
Yeah, but I do think this would be a fun one for you to kind of go into into blind.
01:00:57
Yes.
01:00:59
Um, yeah.
01:01:02
Okay, there's not even a tusk involved?
01:01:05
Oh yeah, no, there's a tusk involved.
01:01:08
Yeah.
01:01:10
Is it an elephant?
01:01:11
Oh, it's a walrus!
01:01:13
Fuck!
01:01:15
Oh, I've been really excited for this movie.
01:01:21
God damn.
01:01:22
Ugh.
01:01:25
Okay.
01:01:25
or may not be a walrus.
01:01:28
Oh man, you did tell me that was a walrus movie.
01:01:31
I fucking love walruses.
01:01:33
I've fed a walrus once and they like hoover up their food.
01:01:40
They go...
01:01:41
Oh!
01:01:44
Yeah.
01:01:46
Mm -hmm.
01:01:47
I know I love them.
01:01:47
I fucking love Walruses.
01:01:49
So if the Walrus is the killer in this movie, I'm super into it.
01:01:54
I think you're gonna love this.
01:01:56
Okay, good.
01:01:58
Should I watch it with Dylan?
01:02:01
No.
01:02:02
Oh, damn.
01:02:03
Okay.
01:02:05
I don't think he's ready.
01:02:06
See, I'm getting hints.
01:02:08
I'm getting hints by asking you questions.
01:02:12
OK, all right.
01:02:13
OK, all right.
01:02:14
start saying, yeah, make him watch it.
01:02:15
I'll scar both of you at the same time.
01:02:17
No, we can't hurt him.
01:02:20
We must protect him.
01:02:22
Yeah, no, I would say, I would say there's a few more movies he should watch before
01:02:26
he gets to this one.
01:02:28
Okay, all right.
01:02:29
He's not ready yet.
01:02:32
Okay.
01:02:34
You're ready.
01:02:35
All right, I'm into it.
01:02:39
We'll see.
01:02:42
All right, well, we'll see you then, I guess.
01:02:45
All right.
01:02:46
Cool beans.
