00:00:27
Hi.
00:00:28
Welcome back to our 80th episode of Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:00:34
Yeah, sorry.
00:00:35
I jumped in because I wanted to say that it was our 80th episode.
00:00:37
I got excited.
00:00:40
Yeah.
00:00:41
Craziness.
00:00:43
Who let us yap for this long?
00:00:46
No one.
00:00:47
ago we were releasing our 75th episode.
00:00:49
But yep, yeah, it wasn't that long ago.
00:00:53
It was like a month.
00:00:54
Yeah.
00:00:55
Well, fun.
00:00:58
Yeah, happy Tuesday.
00:01:00
We are kind of filming these ahead of schedule.
00:01:03
We've mentioned a couple of times, but both of us are going on vacation.
00:01:06
So we're just trying to prep so that everybody has content for when we're gone.
00:01:11
But that being said, this episode's coming out in like two weeks and any news that we
00:01:15
try to give you is going to be obsolete by that time.
00:01:18
You'll have already heard of it.
00:01:20
So we're not going to do news today.
00:01:22
But since we're a little bit over halfway through the year now
00:01:26
we thought it'd be fun if we looked back and talked about some of our favorites and
00:01:30
least favorites that we've talked about this year.
00:01:33
So kd, I want to know, let's start with bottoms first.
00:01:37
What are your bottom three movies that we've reviewed this year?
00:01:41
Okay, so far.
00:01:44
I didn't put them in the right order though.
00:01:47
So the third worst, not the worst, the third worst.
00:01:53
Got it.
00:01:53
The Watchers.
00:01:55
Okay.
00:01:55
Yeah, I was really disappointed by that one.
00:01:59
I had...
00:01:59
I mean, I didn't even have high hopes going into it because I didn't even know
00:02:02
what it was.
00:02:03
But I think we talked about it in the episode.
00:02:05
After realizing what they were trying to do, I was really disappointed.
00:02:08
Yeah, yeah, that's fair.
00:02:10
Yeah, so second worst.
00:02:13
Okay.
00:02:14
P2.
00:02:15
Interesting, because you liked that when we talked about it.
00:02:19
like it, but you know, we're, yeah.
00:02:22
In hindsight, you know, hindsight is 20 -20.
00:02:26
would say it is 2024.
00:02:28
Good one.
00:02:32
Yeah, it's not that good.
00:02:34
Yeah, no, but no, neither is P2.
00:02:38
P2 was just mediocre.
00:02:40
And we've had a lot of really good movies, so it was hard to pick just three that
00:02:43
were bad.
00:02:44
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:46
Yeah.
00:02:48
And the worst, the absolute worst that we have seen so far is without question,
00:02:53
Night Swim.
00:02:54
Night Swim was a January clunker.
00:02:57
It was fucking terrible.
00:02:58
So dumb.
00:02:59
Sports and horror do not mix unless you're Jordan Peele.
00:03:04
I bet that that one will slap.
00:03:05
How about you?
00:03:06
Bottom three.
00:03:08
You already said them.
00:03:10
In the same order.
00:03:12
You're fucking joking!
00:03:16
my god!
00:03:17
Literally Watchers P2, Night Swim.
00:03:22
Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth.
00:03:25
Yeah, they all just, they're not great.
00:03:28
They're not the best movies ever.
00:03:32
Yeah, they're like fine.
00:03:34
Not Night Swim.
00:03:34
That movie sucks.
00:03:39
The Watchers and P2, put it on the background when you're having friends over
00:03:42
and make fun of it a little bit.
00:03:43
That's fine.
00:03:44
Night Swim, just don't watch it.
00:03:46
Just don't watch it at all.
00:03:49
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:50
All right, top three.
00:03:52
Okay, I forgot to order these also and I just realized that I have five.
00:04:00
So let me...
00:04:01
Okay, my third favorite.
00:04:05
Okay.
00:04:06
My third favorite is...
00:04:11
it's so hard.
00:04:12
It is.
00:04:12
Annihilation.
00:04:15
I just really fucking love Annihilation.
00:04:18
It definitely deserves a spot in the top three.
00:04:21
Maybe in my top three horror movies all the time.
00:04:24
Yeah, very good.
00:04:27
Okay, my second favorite we've reviewed so far this year,
00:04:31
Mm -hmm.
00:04:31
The Fly, the remake.
00:04:36
So good.
00:04:38
So good.
00:04:39
And the original one was good too, but not on the top three.
00:04:42
And my number one, can you guess what my number one is?
00:04:44
Silence of the Lambs.
00:04:46
Yeah.
00:04:48
I was between that and The Babadook, because I know you really liked The
00:04:51
Babadook, so.
00:04:52
Yeah, Babadook and Tremors were the other two that I had on my top five that I had
00:04:56
to like whittle down.
00:04:59
Yeah, so good.
00:05:01
Yeah, when I was like, we should do top three, bottom three, and then I
00:05:04
immediately regretted it.
00:05:05
So I was like, wait, I have 10 top threes.
00:05:08
I don't know.
00:05:11
I know.
00:05:13
I'll start whipping them out.
00:05:15
Don't you worry.
00:05:17
No, the new movies coming out this year might do that for us.
00:05:20
yeah, honestly, the track record that we have so far.
00:05:25
Yeah.
00:05:26
Okay.
00:05:29
For my like honorable mentions that are like fantastic films, but I didn't include
00:05:33
them in my top three, The Fly and The Haunting of Hill House.
00:05:38
Honestly, also throw in Tremors and The Silence of the Lambs.
00:05:41
All of those bangers of films.
00:05:44
Some of my favorites.
00:05:47
My top three though.
00:05:48
we're not gonna have any overlap.
00:05:50
We're not going to have any overlap.
00:05:52
Not at all.
00:05:53
Top three.
00:05:55
Third place.
00:05:56
Raw.
00:05:57
I know you didn't like it.
00:05:59
I fucking love that movie though.
00:06:01
It's so good.
00:06:03
Yeah.
00:06:04
So Raw's up there.
00:06:06
Number two.
00:06:07
Actually a new movie.
00:06:08
I Saw the TV Glow.
00:06:10
That is by far my favorite movie that's come out this year.
00:06:15
I'm obsessed.
00:06:17
I literally have
00:06:18
like the hat and the record coming soon.
00:06:22
And then number one, obviously, Jennifer's Body, come on.
00:06:26
I thought you were gonna say Scream.
00:06:27
I thought you were gonna say Scream.
00:06:29
No, because it wasn't like the OG, otherwise I would have.
00:06:33
Well, it was, but it was all of them, so I didn't.
00:06:36
I thought for sure you were gonna say Scream.
00:06:38
No, I fucking love Jennifer's Body.
00:06:40
I mean...
00:06:43
Also the Scream series though.
00:06:47
My top 10.
00:06:50
Because I'm allowed to do that.
00:06:53
Okay, and then lastly, what is the one movie that you're most excited for that's
00:06:58
coming out this year?
00:06:59
Or not that's coming out this year, but that we're going to talk about this year.
00:07:03
Yes.
00:07:04
Yeah.
00:07:05
three years.
00:07:07
This might be a little cop out because it's actually the next episode.
00:07:11
It's Longlegs and it is coming out this year.
00:07:14
It's coming out the month that we release it.
00:07:15
So what is it?
00:07:16
July?
00:07:17
Is that July?
00:07:18
Yeah.
00:07:20
Yeah, I just I really like Nick Cage in a scary movie.
00:07:23
We've done two of them already this year.
00:07:27
Neither of them were my favorite, but or maybe one of them might have been last
00:07:30
year.
00:07:31
Renfield was...
00:07:32
Renfield was early last year.
00:07:36
Yeah, Renfield was, April of last year.
00:07:43
Yeah, I don't know where you've been, but...
00:07:46
14 months ago can already walk and talk.
00:07:49
Yikes.
00:07:52
But yeah, no, I liked Arcadian a little bit and I'm hoping I like Longlegs even
00:07:55
more.
00:07:56
What about you?
00:07:57
Yeah.
00:07:58
Did you put Longlegs?
00:07:59
my God, amazing.
00:08:00
movie I've been looking forward to the most, so it's not going to change.
00:08:04
Please don't let me down.
00:08:07
I'm so nervous for it, but I feel like I'm building it up.
00:08:11
I need to calm down and be like, all right, it's just a film.
00:08:16
It'll be fine.
00:08:17
Like a three out of five, it'll be fine.
00:08:20
Whatever.
00:08:21
I haven't seen any of the marketing that you're so excited about either.
00:08:23
So it's like.
00:08:24
Yeah, I don't know why you're so excited about it.
00:08:27
You don't even know anything.
00:08:29
Yeah, I guess that's fair.
00:08:30
Yeah, no, I just, I think they've just done a really good job at marketing and
00:08:34
I'm really excited for it.
00:08:36
Mm -hmm.
00:08:36
Well, good.
00:08:37
Nice!
00:08:38
We're on semi -same pages.
00:08:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:43
We're very in line with movies that we did not like.
00:08:48
Yeah.
00:08:49
All right, well, should we talk about what we're here to talk about?
00:08:52
Let's do it!
00:08:53
Twist my arm!
00:08:54
Okay.
00:08:56
We're here to review No One Will Save You.
00:09:00
It's a Hulu original film starring Kaitlyn Dever - about a woman named Brynn who was
00:09:05
living alone on the outskirts of a small town after the deaths of her childhood
00:09:08
best friend and mother.
00:09:10
One night she hears strange noises coming from her kitchen where she comes face to
00:09:13
face with aliens.
00:09:14
This movie had a massive $23 million budget.
00:09:18
And since it was a streamer, it's hard to say exactly how much it made.
00:09:21
I couldn't find anywhere how much it made back.
00:09:24
But it has a 6 .3 out of 10 on IMDb, an 82 % critic score, and only a 56 % audience
00:09:31
score on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:09:33
And I say that it stars Kaitlyn Dever because that's literally it.
00:09:38
It's just the one person.
00:09:39
There's like nobody else in it.
00:09:39
it.
00:09:39
There's a mailman.
00:09:43
Yeah, I mean for a minute.
00:09:46
very much about her.
00:09:48
Yeah.
00:09:50
Yeah, that is.
00:09:52
We talked about this movie.
00:09:53
You prepared me for this movie.
00:09:54
I didn't know it was this one.
00:09:55
But you did tell me that there was going to be a movie without any dialogue coming
00:09:59
up.
00:10:00
I did, yeah, a long, long time ago I said, one day we will watch a movie with like
00:10:07
two lines of dialogue and that was this.
00:10:11
Yeah, it is literally it's two lines, five words within 30 seconds of each other.
00:10:17
Yup.
00:10:18
She just says, "I'm sorry, Maude.
00:10:19
I'm sorry." Like an hour into the movie.
00:10:23
Yeah, three different words, five words total.
00:10:28
Five words total, three different words.
00:10:32
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:34
And Brian Duffield, I think he wrote and directed.
00:10:39
What was, nevermind.
00:10:41
I was gonna say what was there to write but the story.
00:10:44
So that was dumb.
00:10:46
Yeah.
00:10:47
gonna happen?
00:10:51
But he said he really didn't plan for it to be a movie without dialogue.
00:10:56
Like it just kind of happened as he was writing the story because he kind of like
00:11:04
was writing everything that happened and there wasn't really a need for anybody to
00:11:07
talk.
00:11:08
And then he said he got to the part where she goes into town after like she kills
00:11:15
the first alien and she goes into like the police station and she just like opens her
00:11:19
mouth to talk.
00:11:19
But then...
00:11:20
the mom spits on her and she just leaves.
00:11:22
And he got to that point and he was like, I don't even really need dialogue, do I?
00:11:27
And so he just kept writing it without it.
00:11:28
Cause he was like, it's one person.
00:11:30
Like she's not talking to herself, you know, like he knew that he didn't want
00:11:34
like heavy moments of exposition where people just tell you what's happening.
00:11:38
The Watchers.
00:11:41
But he also told Kaitlyn while they were filming, like if she felt the need to say
00:11:47
something, if like that
00:11:48
arose in her while she was shooting a scene.
00:11:51
Like he's like, I'm not against it.
00:11:52
Go for it if you want to.
00:11:54
And she was like, I don't need to talk.
00:11:57
So.
00:11:58
mean, she does throw in a couple like, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:02
And, you know, like single word.
00:12:07
I don't think it's like actually written in the script, but in the subtitles, there
00:12:12
were a few single word lines thrown in.
00:12:16
Yeah, there's like grunting and definitely like, ugh, or like, stuff like that.
00:12:21
definitely says no a few times.
00:12:24
I think she says help.
00:12:26
I don't remember this.
00:12:27
I was really paying attention to the subtitles because I liked all this the
00:12:31
sounds that they made for the aliens like gurgling and gargling and warbling.
00:12:37
Yeah.
00:12:38
There is like a, you mentioned there's kind of like a disconnect between critics
00:12:43
and audience here.
00:12:45
And I was reading through the audience scores and the critics score just to like
00:12:49
see what people said about it.
00:12:51
And a lot of the people in the audience were like, did not like that there was no
00:12:56
dialogue.
00:12:58
Like a lot of people felt that it was like gimmicky and stuff like that.
00:13:02
And I did not think
00:13:03
that, I felt like it worked very well to the point where like, it's pretty
00:13:09
unnoticeable when you're watching it that there's no dialogue because there doesn't
00:13:12
really feel a need to be.
00:13:15
Like it's obviously noticeable because anytime you're watching a movie and people
00:13:18
are talking it's kind of weird because you're not used to it, but...
00:13:21
Yeah.
00:13:23
I mean, I have said I don't like that.
00:13:26
I don't like when there's no dialogue.
00:13:28
But you're right, it really worked in this one.
00:13:30
I hated it in WALL -E.
00:13:31
WALL -E was so boring at the beginning of the movie because it was just like, look
00:13:37
what we can do.
00:13:38
We can animate space.
00:13:40
Just like, shut up.
00:13:42
But not literally because I want you to talk.
00:13:44
-E, so I can't confirm nor deny if you're feelings are - Okay, we don't really have
00:13:51
the same taste in animated movies though, so I don't know if I would share that
00:13:55
opinion.
00:13:55
you mean?
00:13:56
What's the best anime and movie of all time?
00:13:59
WRONG!
00:14:00
SHREK!
00:14:01
Shrek.
00:14:02
But then Mulan is like very...
00:14:05
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:07
Okay.
00:14:08
I just know like when we rated all the Disney Pixar movies, we did not have a lot
00:14:13
in common.
00:14:14
Yeah, that's fair.
00:14:17
Justice for Cars.
00:14:19
Cars is a great film.
00:14:20
Kachow.
00:14:22
Cars is a great film.
00:14:23
issues with.
00:14:25
You were just throwing out?
00:14:28
Yeah, that's wrong.
00:14:30
Just blatantly wrong.
00:14:33
You just said you hate it.
00:14:35
no, I don't hate it.
00:14:37
Of all of the Pixar movies, it's the worst.
00:14:40
No, that's incorrect.
00:14:41
That's a crazy take.
00:14:43
I'm sure Wall-E's great.
00:14:45
okay.
00:14:47
It's really not, but you watch it and you come back and tell me.
00:14:54
What were we talking about?
00:14:55
The alien movie, No One Will Save You.
00:14:57
No, but like more specifically, I don't remember.
00:14:59
I was going some I was going somewhere.
00:15:01
yeah, usually, usually that bothers me.
00:15:03
And by usually, I mean, I've only ever seen one other movie that has that and
00:15:06
it's Wall-E and that bothered me.
00:15:07
But in this one.
00:15:10
You're right, it it made sense.
00:15:11
I mean, who the fuck?
00:15:12
She's not talking to anybody.
00:15:13
Why would there be dialogue if there was it would be annoying because who the fuck
00:15:16
are you talking to?
00:15:18
Nobody.
00:15:19
I didn't even notice there was no dialogue until like 40 minutes in when I was like,
00:15:24
has she said anything?
00:15:25
Has anybody said anything?
00:15:27
And I've moved my cursor, I was like, my God, it's been 40 minutes and nobody said
00:15:30
anything.
00:15:30
Yeah.
00:15:31
Yeah.
00:15:32
People have very high expectations of a movie with one person in it.
00:15:36
Yeah.
00:15:37
Weirdos?
00:15:38
You want people to talk in movies?
00:15:39
Get out of here.
00:15:41
I'm just kidding.
00:15:43
people to talk when it makes sense.
00:15:45
They would have the exact opposite reaction if she did talk.
00:15:48
Who the fuck is she talking to?
00:15:49
Why did she have to talk so much?
00:15:50
You know what I mean?
00:15:51
yeah, I just, I don't know.
00:15:53
In this story, it just didn't feel necessary.
00:15:58
Nothing needed to be explained.
00:16:00
It was all being shown to us.
00:16:03
Maybe not in the order that some people would have liked.
00:16:05
I think some people probably had a problem with the fact that we didn't find out what
00:16:09
happened to Maude until very late in the movie.
00:16:11
And by some people, I mean, I definitely had that problem.
00:16:14
Really?
00:16:15
I was just really excited for it.
00:16:17
I was like, can you please just...
00:16:18
Like it didn't...
00:16:19
I feel like it makes, like that's when you expect it to happen.
00:16:24
When she's being probed.
00:16:26
Well, no, but I feel like I expected the ending to be us finding out what actually
00:16:33
happened.
00:16:35
But I also felt like it was pretty like you kind of knew what happened.
00:16:40
Obviously not like the context in which it happened, but like you knew that she
00:16:44
killed Maude and you knew that it wasn't necessarily an accident because I don't
00:16:51
think you're going to get outcast from an entire town if it was like,
00:16:54
a car accident or something where it was like not in your control.
00:16:58
Like we knew that she had something to do intentionally with her friend's death.
00:17:04
right, yeah, absolutely.
00:17:05
Yeah.
00:17:06
the probing, actually, since you mentioned it, was not originally going to be in the
00:17:13
UFO.
00:17:15
They weren't even going to have a scene inside the UFO.
00:17:19
They added that in post because they weren't sure where it should take place,
00:17:24
like in the forest or wherever.
00:17:26
And they basically just had footage of Kaitlyn pretending to be paralyzed.
00:17:31
They were like, what do we do with this?
00:17:34
You know, we have to have this scene somewhere and I guess Brian Duffield
00:17:38
didn't specify who said it but apparently someone was just like, she should be in
00:17:42
the UFO and he was like, why didn't I think of that three years ago?
00:17:45
Of course she should be in the UFO, like duh.
00:17:47
I kind of liked the take on the UFO that they did have a nice, it was interesting.
00:17:55
Kind of not, it wasn't very mechanical, which I appreciated.
00:18:00
It was more like metaphysical.
00:18:03
Mm -hmm.
00:18:04
I thought that was kind of a fun fresh take on UFO.
00:18:07
Yeah, I feel like the alien design was definitely like an homage to like...
00:18:11
older movies and like the classic grays type of design.
00:18:16
And then the UFO was like kind of that on the outside, but then on the inside it was
00:18:21
like definitely kind of a fresher take on that.
00:18:24
Yeah, well, the the like traditional, like iconic design of aliens is from the 50s.
00:18:32
The people who were abducted kind of all drew the same general- Yeah, they all kind
00:18:37
of drew the same general shape.
00:18:41
So whenever you see aliens in like the little green guy aliens, that's
00:18:48
inspiration from the people of the 50s in the Americas.
00:18:51
Yeah.
00:18:53
And that was, Duffield said that he just kind of missed that that hadn't been on
00:18:59
screen in a really long time.
00:19:00
Cause there's just like, everybody wants a new fresh take on aliens, which is fair.
00:19:04
Like you want to get creative.
00:19:05
You want to show something new.
00:19:07
But he was like, I kind of just missed like the old school aliens.
00:19:10
So he wanted to do that.
00:19:12
But then obviously like they show the shark very early in this film.
00:19:16
So it's like immediately walks in.
00:19:18
Hello.
00:19:19
Hi, I'm here.
00:19:20
So that's why he created like almost a hierarchy or like a culture of aliens so
00:19:26
that just because she defeated one of them doesn't necessarily mean that she can go
00:19:30
up against the rest of them.
00:19:31
So they all have like different designs and kind of different purposes.
00:19:34
And he said he was very inspired by like religious hierarchies for that, but I
00:19:40
didn't get that, but he was very set that that was his influence.
00:19:44
So.
00:19:45
Well, interesting.
00:19:48
Stephen King really liked the way they portrayed the movie itself.
00:19:54
He posted about it, he said on Twitter a couple days after it released, "Brilliant,
00:19:59
daring, involving, scary.
00:20:01
You have to go back 60 years to a Twilight Zone episode called The Invaders from 1961
00:20:06
to find anything remotely like it, truly unique." And I take a little issue with
00:20:11
that.
00:20:13
okay.
00:20:14
because it's a little bit signs.
00:20:16
It's funny you should say that.
00:20:17
That's Brian Duffield's favorite alien invasion movie.
00:20:21
Yeah, yeah, I mean, come on, the like little marks it makes on the ground, the
00:20:30
crawling on the roof, the like peeking over, the like, you know, walking through
00:20:34
the doorway.
00:20:36
It just, it was very reminiscent of Signs.
00:20:37
So I'm surprised that Stephen King said that it was truly unique.
00:20:41
I do think it was unique enough to be a fresh take, but I don't agree with Stephen
00:20:47
King at all.
00:20:48
Silly, silly Stephen.
00:20:51
Yeah, I agree that I think you can see aspects of this a lot sooner than that
00:20:58
episode of the thing.
00:20:59
But I do understand that he was kind of like, this is very much an homage to like
00:21:04
older, older movies.
00:21:07
Even the title, he said he took that from like the 50s style of horror movies where
00:21:12
it's like.
00:21:13
They're coming for you!
00:21:15
Like stuff like that.
00:21:15
Like no one will save you!
00:21:17
And he even said he like really wanted to put an exclamation mark at the end, but he
00:21:20
chickened out.
00:21:26
But yeah, he said that his favorite alien invasion movie is Signs.
00:21:29
And one of the reasons why they show the aliens so early is because like he said,
00:21:36
yeah, I'd watch Signs and be like,
00:21:37
they just kind of like hang out in the cornfields for a while before they attack
00:21:40
and that's to build suspense, right?
00:21:41
And he's like, I think he said, "Flying to earth is an immense achievement and it
00:21:47
feels like walking in the front door is pretty simple." So he just wanted them to
00:21:51
just walk in and be like, we just flew through God knows how much space to get
00:21:56
here.
00:21:56
Like, yeah, we're just walking in.
00:21:57
Like we don't care.
00:21:58
Yeah.
00:21:59
Also, like, I loved Brynn just like nailing a blanket to the door.
00:22:08
Like, why didn't she prop up the door with the couch?
00:22:10
And then maybe then put the blanket on for like reinforcement or something, or like
00:22:14
use the nails to put the door back in the door frame.
00:22:17
Like, there was a little bit of, yeah, I guess so.
00:22:22
Did you watch the behind the scenes video?
00:22:25
That was on YouTube?
00:22:27
It's pretty cool.
00:22:28
The door reminds me of that because the door actually does fall on her.
00:22:32
And it looks like she did a lot of her own stunts or else her stunt double looked
00:22:35
very much like her.
00:22:39
The door falls on her and it's just like connected by this little wire and it stops
00:22:43
just like right before she is crushed by the door.
00:22:47
And then the other one I thought was really cool is that the car is actually
00:22:51
exploding as she's running away from it.
00:22:53
That was not
00:22:53
put in digitally.
00:22:55
That's an actual explosion.
00:22:57
Yeah, it was really cool.
00:22:58
Yeah, like that.
00:22:59
I know Brian Duffield kind of talked about how a lot of what they would show was
00:23:07
based on the budget.
00:23:08
So like, they'd be like, every time you show an alien, it's this amount of
00:23:11
dollars.
00:23:11
So like, budget accordingly.
00:23:14
So he was like...
00:23:15
He said at one point, yeah, I was trying to get like sneaky with it and be like,
00:23:19
we'll just show the shadow of an alien.
00:23:21
He's like, turns out digitally, that's not that much cheaper than just showing the
00:23:25
aliens.
00:23:25
So he was like, I should have just showed the alien because it didn't save us that
00:23:29
much money.
00:23:30
no!
00:23:32
No.
00:23:33
Do you want to know what they had names for the aliens?
00:23:38
So in like the official script and on set they would refer to the aliens as the
00:23:44
following: The Gray, the first one was The Gray.
00:23:48
I thought you were saying the following.
00:23:50
Like they called them the following.
00:23:51
Got it.
00:23:51
no, no, no, like they each one had different names.
00:23:54
So the first one was The Gray.
00:23:55
The second one was The Little F**ker.
00:24:00
The one with the long arms is called The Daddy Long Legs - which throughout the
00:24:05
entire rest of the article, every time he refers to that one, Brian Duffield calls
00:24:09
him Daddy.
00:24:10
And then The Parasite were like the little things that go in your throat.
00:24:17
cute.
00:24:17
I just call those handheld aliens.
00:24:20
yeah, yeah.
00:24:21
Bluetooth.
00:24:21
Yeah, grenades, alien grenades.
00:24:26
Daddy and The Little F**ker.
00:24:27
That's us.
00:24:28
I love it.
00:24:29
That makes me Daddy.
00:24:31
Am I The Little F**ker?
00:24:34
Aww.
00:24:36
I wanted to be Daddy.
00:24:38
can.
00:24:39
I'm like a foot taller than you.
00:24:45
Funny.
00:24:49
Daddy and The Little Fucker.
00:24:51
Renaming the podcast.
00:24:53
Renaming our Twitch streams.
00:24:56
Absolutely, everything is being renamed to Daddy the Little Fucker.
00:25:00
I'll talk about it quickly because I know you don't care.
00:25:05
I really loved the score of this movie and I feel like a movie without dialogue is
00:25:12
even more important for the score to do a good job of conveying emotion.
00:25:19
And Joseph Trapanese is the composer.
00:25:23
He did the score for this film.
00:25:25
You don't hear his name a lot.
00:25:27
I did not recognize it.
00:25:29
I never heard of him.
00:25:30
But you should absolutely know his name.
00:25:32
He has worked with everybody.
00:25:34
He worked with Daft Punk on Tron Legacy.
00:25:37
He arranges music for huge artists like Kelly Clarkson.
00:25:42
He's arranged orchestral pieces of her music for her.
00:25:46
He's conducted orchestral pieces in songs by Dr.
00:25:51
Dre.
00:25:51
Yeah, he's all over the place.
00:25:53
My -
00:25:53
favorite collab he's done.
00:25:55
He worked on a movie called The Raid: Redemption with Mike Shinoda, who is in
00:26:01
one of my favorite bands of all time, Linkin Park.
00:26:04
Hey.
00:26:05
Yeah, so he's not like newer on the scene, but he's definitely like getting
00:26:12
increasingly bigger projects.
00:26:13
And I think he has like the makings of being one of the next household names.
00:26:18
Hell yeah, Trapanese coming at you.
00:26:24
Absolutely, me too.
00:26:28
joined his Patreon.
00:26:29
Wow, she's in.
00:26:33
I like that.
00:26:34
I do feel like the score worked very well.
00:26:36
Obviously, like, I feel like I did actually pay attention to it this time
00:26:40
because there's no dialogue that I was like, I probably should pay attention.
00:26:46
But I did.
00:26:47
And also for your sake, I try to pay attention more often to the score when I
00:26:51
can.
00:26:51
But yeah, I feel like it definitely like moved with the story very well.
00:26:55
Like it helped- Like set-
00:26:57
Well, I mean, every- music sets the tone for the movie, but like, you know what I
00:27:00
mean, especially in this one, I feel like it just had more impact because of the
00:27:04
fact that the music's kind of all you get to go on.
00:27:09
yeah, I mean the sound design overall was very good.
00:27:12
I loved the noises that the aliens made, the UFO made.
00:27:18
It was all very unique.
00:27:21
I would love to know where some of the sounds are coming from because I again
00:27:26
think that they used some big cats in there.
00:27:29
I'll have to find it.
00:27:32
Brian Duffield did an interview where he talked a lot about like making the sounds
00:27:37
for the aliens because he was like, I wanted them to be chatty as fuck.
00:27:40
Like he's like, they're not talking, but they are communicating the entire time.
00:27:45
And I can't remember which article it was, so I'm so sorry.
00:27:50
I will find it after and I'll send it to you.
00:27:52
But he mentioned who he worked with to make the noises.
00:27:56
So maybe that could help you find out.
00:27:58
They were like big, they worked on something else, but now I can't think of
00:28:02
what it was.
00:28:03
But anyways, I'll find it.
00:28:05
Yeah.
00:28:08
I like when we know what all they piece together.
00:28:12
Like we know like Jurassic Park, they used baby elephants and lions to make the T
00:28:18
-Rex sound.
00:28:18
I just like knowing where it comes from.
00:28:22
Hmm, yeah.
00:28:23
Should be a Foley artist.
00:28:25
I would love to be - have I ever told you my business idea?
00:28:28
Well, you've told me one of them.
00:28:31
not that one.
00:28:32
I mean, that's the obvious one.
00:28:34
And this could be an extension of it, honestly.
00:28:37
It's like a Foley experience where you go in and you have like all the stuff laid
00:28:41
out and you get like a cartoon playing and you get to do the Foley of the cartoon and
00:28:45
then you take it home with you.
00:28:47
Like it's a video of, yeah, the cartoon with your Foley on it.
00:28:51
They kind of did that at Universal Studios for a while.
00:28:56
It's okay.
00:28:56
I thought it was my i- I thought it was my idea.
00:28:59
Well, you don't get to take it home.
00:29:00
It's not like that.
00:29:01
But it was - so Universal Studios, they used to have a special effects show.
00:29:06
They got rid of it for a fucking Fast and Furious ride.
00:29:10
I'm still angry about it.
00:29:12
Anyways.
00:29:16
It is.
00:29:17
But.
00:29:19
But I loved it.
00:29:20
It was such a cool show.
00:29:21
I went to see it multiple times.
00:29:22
I was in the show for Christ's sakes at one point.
00:29:25
But anyways, they had different sections where you could volunteer to be in it.
00:29:33
And so one was like a little joke gag thing with astronaut effects, but you're
00:29:40
not actually in there.
00:29:41
It's like a joke.
00:29:42
But anyways, one is the horror section.
00:29:46
Obviously, that's what I was in.
00:29:48
Heheheheh
00:29:49
They pretended to cut off my arm and I had to scream as loud as I could.
00:29:53
Yeah, I have a video of it.
00:29:54
I'll send it to you.
00:29:56
And then the last one was they would get a family of four and they would do a live on
00:30:03
on stage - would have to try to match everything up with what was happening on
00:30:06
the thing.
00:30:07
They gave these people very little prep, so it was just funny because obviously
00:30:10
they're not doing it very well.
00:30:14
But it was kind of like in that realm of...
00:30:16
they got to see a scene and then try to do the effects with it.
00:30:19
And it was really cool to watch.
00:30:22
Yeah.
00:30:22
Mm.
00:30:23
All right.
00:30:23
it was a great part of the show and that's why I'm saying I think this would be a
00:30:27
great business endeavor.
00:30:28
People would love that.
00:30:28
Cute, thank you.
00:30:30
My chair is so loud.
00:30:31
Every time I put my leg underneath my other leg, it just like makes a lot of
00:30:35
noise.
00:30:36
Yeah, say it in my squeaky.
00:30:38
Also, maybe like don't send me that video because I don't like hearing you scream.
00:30:43
It really bothers me.
00:30:45
I don't know, freaks me out.
00:30:47
Like in the escape room when you screamed, that really freaked me out.
00:30:52
That's, I did not like that at all.
00:30:55
When I was like screaming for him to let us go?
00:30:58
I was joking!
00:31:00
but it was like, literally like my bones chilled, like my bone marrow froze.
00:31:07
It was terrible.
00:31:08
I hated every second of that.
00:31:13
It's okay.
00:31:13
I mean, it's just, perhaps to your acting, I guess, because it was like viscerally
00:31:18
believable.
00:31:20
Really, I d - I think about that all the time and how uncomfortable it made me.
00:31:26
Yeah, I really didn't like it.
00:31:28
that that impacted you.
00:31:29
I'm so sorry, I wouldn't have done it.
00:31:32
okay.
00:31:32
I didn't know that's the first and only time I've ever heard you scream and I
00:31:37
don't plan on hearing it again.
00:31:39
If it helps, I giggle immediately after I scream in the thing.
00:31:42
It's a very different scenario.
00:31:44
For context, we went to an escape room and they had a live actor in there with us,
00:31:48
like pretending to be this murderer who was like, he was just there to help us
00:31:52
with clues really, but he would like bang on stuff and like pretend to be scary.
00:31:56
And one of our friends asked him for a hint and he was like,
00:32:00
beg for it and she was like, please and I was like, no, no, no, you have to beg.
00:32:06
So I like got on my hands and knees and was like screaming for him to help.
00:32:11
And apparently that really impacted kd and I apologize, I didn't know.
00:32:15
It's okay.
00:32:16
I wasn't gonna tell you, but it just made sense to bring it up now, I guess.
00:32:19
No, it's just like now I have that sound to put into my, you know, terrible
00:32:27
fantasies of, my God, what if Cassidy gets murdered?
00:32:32
Damn.
00:32:33
Yeah.
00:32:35
Fuck.
00:32:36
And the sound is the worst part for me.
00:32:38
Yeah, the worst part for me would probably be getting murdered.
00:32:44
probably.
00:32:45
I mean, that ultimately would probably be the worst part for me too.
00:32:48
But yeah.
00:32:51
Anyway, now you know.
00:32:54
Now I know, I'm so sorry.
00:32:56
Well, I'll send it, you don't have to watch it.
00:33:00
Yeah, on mute.
00:33:03
You can just see me scream and then I'll giggle right after, because, you know.
00:33:08
Well, that's honestly also the last thing I need because I've got the sound and now
00:33:11
that would I couldn't see we were in the dark.
00:33:13
That's true, yeah.
00:33:15
Yeah, the blood that was spraying, because they have fake blood, obviously, like they
00:33:18
were pretending to cut my arm off.
00:33:21
And so it was like spraying me with fake blood, but it was so cold.
00:33:25
So I was like, get it off.
00:33:29
and then at the end, here's another fun fact.
00:33:32
We're not even talking about the movie anymore.
00:33:34
We're talking about my Universal Studios experience.
00:33:36
But at the very end, they have like, the backdrop is like a bunch of horror icons,
00:33:41
like
00:33:41
full -length figures of horror icons.
00:33:45
And one of them's Michael Myers.
00:33:48
And it's a real guy.
00:33:50
And so he gets up.
00:33:51
Yeah, so at the end they're like, you were a great sport.
00:33:53
Like, let's take a picture on stage.
00:33:55
So they take a picture with your back to it.
00:33:57
And then he gets up and like comes and scares the person.
00:33:59
But I'd already seen it.
00:34:01
So I knew.
00:34:03
So I was there with my family and I was like, is it funnier if I'm just like...
00:34:07
What's up, man?
00:34:08
Or is it funnier if I like, pretend to get scared and they're like, you have to
00:34:11
pretend to get scared.
00:34:11
That's the whole reason they do it.
00:34:12
Like, otherwise it's gonna ruin it.
00:34:14
So you can also see me pretend to get scared by him.
00:34:19
that's funny.
00:34:21
Cute.
00:34:22
I'm sad they took that out.
00:34:24
I also really liked the animal show.
00:34:27
Yeah.
00:34:28
those two that they took out and they were great shows.
00:34:31
I loved going.
00:34:32
Yeah, the animal show was really great.
00:34:33
I mean, it was like real acting animals, animals that had been like the dog from
00:34:39
The Proposal was in it for a long time.
00:34:42
Yeah, I'm kind of hoping they like relocate them, but I haven't heard
00:34:46
anything about it, so I don't know.
00:34:47
it was a while ago.
00:34:48
It's what, been two or three years now?
00:34:51
Longer.
00:34:53
I think it's only been like a year since they took it out.
00:34:56
Yeah, it's been longer than that since they said that that was their plan.
00:35:00
But I want to say we went to see the show like
00:35:04
two years ago.
00:35:05
I don't know.
00:35:06
Time's melding together.
00:35:07
Mm -hmm.
00:35:09
Seriously.
00:35:10
Anyways, back to this film.
00:35:13
else?
00:35:13
Any other fun facts?
00:35:15
I mean, the only other thing that I found that I thought was interesting was
00:35:19
Duffield's kind of explanation of the ending, which was just that the aliens
00:35:28
were compassionate towards her and saw that, you know, she had the potential to
00:35:36
be kind of like rehabilitated from this trauma that she had experienced and from
00:35:40
this mistake that she had made.
00:35:41
Yeah.
00:35:43
And so he put a little bit of humanity into the aliens.
00:35:48
I don't think that that's a very good explanation for the ending, but that's
00:35:53
what he said.
00:35:55
yeah, and I've heard him talk about it multiple times in like multiple different
00:35:58
interviews.
00:35:59
And he kind of elaborates in like different ways every time.
00:36:02
my understanding was like, they're there to assimilate into like human culture,
00:36:07
right?
00:36:08
And like take over.
00:36:10
So my thought was they can learn a lot more from her and they know that because
00:36:14
she's so isolated, she poses no risk to them.
00:36:17
Like she's not gonna fight for these people.
00:36:19
She has no...
00:36:20
connection to these people whatsoever.
00:36:22
So she'll just go along with it.
00:36:24
So it doesn't, I felt like it was him saying, and he even said in one interview
00:36:30
that originally he had thought like, there'll be like almost a classroom
00:36:35
session of her teaching them things, but he felt that that was too on the nose.
00:36:38
So he opted for a more ambiguous ending.
00:36:43
But yeah, my thoughts is that she's kind of gonna be a teacher of some sort.
00:36:49
And.
00:36:49
they're gonna learn from her and they know that.
00:36:51
She's not a risk to them.
00:36:53
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:54
Yeah, he said, it's an interesting culture.
00:36:58
We've conquered it.
00:37:00
That doesn't mean we have to erase it.
00:37:02
Yeah, yeah.
00:37:04
And I know he also said that he was like, he really just loved the character of
00:37:09
Brynn so much.
00:37:10
Because originally he had two separate ideas.
00:37:12
One, he wanted to make kind of this weird alien movie.
00:37:15
And then one, he wanted to do something with her character.
00:37:17
And eventually he found a way to merge them.
00:37:19
But he had thought of her character like way before that, just based on like actual
00:37:26
true crime stories.
00:37:28
The movie Heavenly Creatures is based on a real murder.
00:37:32
the Parker Hume murder and then he also said the Slender Man murder case were like
00:37:37
two that he was like, these kids did something and they were so young, like
00:37:42
they still have their whole life ahead of them.
00:37:43
Like how do you live after doing something like that?
00:37:48
And obviously I think Brynn's a little bit more of a sympathetic character.
00:37:53
Hers wasn't premeditated, theirs were so a little bit separate there.
00:37:59
Definitely feel like,
00:38:00
hers was like a heat of the moment.
00:38:02
I don't think she meant to kill her necessarily, but yeah, so I do find that
00:38:09
interesting.
00:38:09
But I did find out a lot of people who in the audience who didn't like this movie.
00:38:14
It was either like the no talking or the ending they didn't like.
00:38:17
Which I get.
00:38:19
Totally.
00:38:21
Yeah, I have some things to say about the ending in my overall score.
00:38:30
Without giving too much away.
00:38:33
But no, I also, I don't remember if it was the director that said this or if this is
00:38:37
just kind of like a general consensus, but I like the idea of the ending is kind of
00:38:40
like an allegory of the resolution of guilt and the resolution of like trauma.
00:38:47
Like she's kind of over that hump.
00:38:50
And the aliens are just that, you know, allegory of she has to slowly make peace
00:38:58
with all these people.
00:39:00
Yeah.
00:39:00
then she can kind of like re -assimilate back into society.
00:39:04
I liked that a lot better than, you know, it's actually aliens.
00:39:10
Or whatever.
00:39:11
it.
00:39:13
Yeah, yeah, I know he was very intent on giving her like a happy ending, which is
00:39:22
weird because I kind of see this as like.
00:39:23
almost like a similar ending to like Midsummer where it's like they found this
00:39:28
family that they were longing for like this community that they wanted so badly
00:39:33
but like is it a happy ending?
00:39:36
I'm not sure if this is you know actually a happy ending I think Brynn's maybe is a
00:39:43
little bit happier than Dani's - Dani's is not a happy ending Brynn's I don't know
00:39:48
maybe the aliens will be nicer than the townspeople were
00:39:52
I mean, it does seem that she got what she needed, which was kind of like a
00:39:58
reintegration into
00:39:59
older, like more vintage -y.
00:40:02
I don't know.
00:40:03
Yeah, that was, he talked a lot about her clothing choices as well.
00:40:08
Cause well, he said like, he likes that if you watch the beginning, you're almost
00:40:13
like, is this a period piece?
00:40:14
And then she goes to town and it's just a normal town.
00:40:17
Like it's not set in the past at all.
00:40:20
It's just her style.
00:40:22
But he said he kind of wanted her to dress like how a 10 year old would think adults
00:40:26
dress, which is like this kind of vintagey, like retro style.
00:40:31
Mm -hmm.
00:40:32
because it was just kind of cementing the fact that A, she'd been on her own for a
00:40:37
very long time, and also like her being this outsider and kind of in her own
00:40:42
bubble and very removed from the rest of the people.
00:40:45
Yeah, well, I mean, she hadn't been alone for that long because the mom died in 2019
00:40:49
and the movie came out in 2013 or 2023, 2019 to 2023.
00:40:55
So if it was set at the same time, she was only on her own for like four years.
00:40:59
She still would have been adult.
00:41:02
She only would have been 18 at that point.
00:41:04
Yeah, but I actually made several comments as we were watching the movie.
00:41:09
I watched it with Dylan.
00:41:11
I loved what she was wearing.
00:41:14
Mm.
00:41:15
I love the like tweed pants with the belt and the cute shirt.
00:41:18
I would totally wear that.
00:41:20
Yeah, her outfits were very cute.
00:41:21
So cute.
00:41:23
I also did comment though, why didn't she have a cell phone?
00:41:25
And Dylan's like, she's trying to be vintage.
00:41:28
She doesn't need one.
00:41:28
But like that was weird.
00:41:30
did she need, who was she going to talk to?
00:41:33
That's true.
00:41:33
And she did kept, she probably didn't want anybody to be calling her because she did
00:41:37
pick up the phone several, or maybe just once and hang it up.
00:41:40
yeah, she picked it up and hung it up.
00:41:42
I think they were shouting like extremities at her, not happy.
00:41:46
Yeah, so I think that actually made sense with her character, like A, with her
00:41:51
style, but also B, like, I don't think she really has a need to connect even more so
00:41:56
with the outside world.
00:41:57
Mm -hmm.
00:41:57
I think personally, if I lived in a town and everybody hated me because I was, I
00:42:03
murdered someone, I mean, also though you inherited property.
00:42:08
So maybe I wouldn't move.
00:42:10
I'm like, I would move, but then I'm like, do you know how much houses are these
00:42:14
days?
00:42:15
and that property, but probably not.
00:42:17
I thought I had the exact same thought.
00:42:19
Exact same thought process, like, bitch, just move.
00:42:23
But yeah, that property on the outskirts of a little tiny town that nobody knows
00:42:29
wouldn't sell for shit.
00:42:30
Yeah, but also it would be impossible to buy outright.
00:42:34
So just, you know, I don't think she had a choice.
00:42:38
It was so cute.
00:42:39
I love the like stained glass, like dividers between rooms, you know?
00:42:45
So cute.
00:42:46
Yeah.
00:42:47
All right, last fun fact I have.
00:42:48
Okay.
00:42:49
In the flashback at the very end, we see how she killed her best friend, which was
00:42:53
she picked up a rock, swung around and hit her in the side of the head.
00:42:57
It's exactly how she kills the first alien.
00:43:02
Yep.
00:43:02
Like beat for beat, she's on the ground, grabs it, picks it up, whacks.
00:43:07
Yikes.
00:43:08
I know, I kinda like that little mirror though.
00:43:11
After watching it, you're like, Not the muscle memory.
00:43:20
Alright, any other fun facts for you?
00:43:23
No, I'm ready to rate it.
00:43:24
All right, let's do it.
00:43:25
Alright, how scary do you think it was?
00:43:26
I gave it a 1 .5, only because, like it's kind of a romp, but I remember when I
00:43:34
watched it the first time, at the very beginning, when she like goes out in the
00:43:41
middle of the night and like the door is like creaking open and she hears someone
00:43:44
in her kitchen.
00:43:45
I remember that scene, I was like on the edge of my seat a little bit.
00:43:47
I was like, what's gonna happen?
00:43:50
And then it started chittering and I was like, okay, I'm fine.
00:43:52
No.
00:43:53
Chittering.
00:43:55
I give it a two.
00:43:59
Same reason, honestly.
00:44:02
But also, I got a really big fright in the basement scene when she's under the table
00:44:09
and the mannequin falls.
00:44:10
That really got me.
00:44:11
And then it pans to the alien sitting really weird behind her.
00:44:15
That fucked me up.
00:44:17
And then...
00:44:18
I really had to take a breather.
00:44:19
And then literally immediately after starting the movie back up again, the
00:44:22
little aliens in the hallway.
00:44:24
Yeah.
00:44:24
The little fucker.
00:44:26
little fucker.
00:44:28
And then you go outside and daddy is kind of peeking his eyes over the barn.
00:44:35
I was just a little spooked, OK?
00:44:38
That's fair.
00:44:39
It's a little spooky.
00:44:41
Yeah.
00:44:42
I also watched it at night.
00:44:43
Hell yeah.
00:44:44
How sexy did you think it was?
00:44:46
I also gave it a two.
00:44:49
And largely for the same reason I gave Arcadian a two.
00:44:52
Or whatever I gave Arcadian.
00:44:54
because you want to fuck the monsters?
00:44:56
No alien fingers.
00:45:00
Yeah.
00:45:02
There was a lot of finger action.
00:45:03
There was like this.
00:45:05
There was the like this.
00:45:06
There was this.
00:45:07
Yeah, she's doing finger motions for everybody who's just listening.
00:45:10
yeah.
00:45:14
Yeah, there's lots of fingering.
00:45:18
there it is.
00:45:20
What did you give it?
00:45:21
I give it a 2.
00:45:23
Yeah, aliens are pretty sexy.
00:45:25
Daddy Long Legs kinda had it going on.
00:45:27
I get it.
00:45:29
Yeah, I liked his little dances.
00:45:30
yeah, when he's signaling the ship.
00:45:32
Yeah, that was weird.
00:45:36
Super strange.
00:45:36
How, how fucked up did you think it was?
00:45:39
I gave it a 1, but I'm thinking maybe it's a 1 .5 because I don't like the things
00:45:44
going in the mouth.
00:45:46
That was not sexy to me.
00:45:48
That was like a...
00:45:52
like a bug going in your mouth and I don't like that.
00:45:55
You thought that was sexy?
00:45:57
Okay.
00:45:59
I mean, I gave it a 1 .5 for the handhelds too, but specifically for like the motion
00:46:06
they're doing in the throat.
00:46:08
Yeah, that was a little much.
00:46:10
Yeah, going in and out of the mouth didn't bother me.
00:46:12
That was, you know.
00:46:15
what did you think?
00:46:18
I gave it a 2 .5.
00:46:20
Okay.
00:46:21
I really wanted to like it.
00:46:23
I like aliens.
00:46:24
I like probing.
00:46:25
I like fingers.
00:46:28
Doing stuff.
00:46:29
But...
00:46:31
I just...
00:46:33
There were like ten places this movie could have ended.
00:46:36
And it would have made arguably more sense than where it did end.
00:46:42
Like during the first flashback.
00:46:44
I would have been fine with that.
00:46:45
During the second flashback.
00:46:46
Would have been fine with that.
00:46:47
During the weird twin murder stabbing thing.
00:46:50
The ambiguous rainbow.
00:46:52
You know what I'm talking about?
00:46:54
Where she's laying on her back and it's like rainbow lights all over and she's
00:46:56
just like staring.
00:46:58
That would have been a perfect ending.
00:46:59
I feel like those wouldn't have given very much resolution.
00:47:02
Well, yeah, but I would have liked it better.
00:47:06
I don't know.
00:47:07
It just it just dragged on and on and I think it could have still made the point
00:47:13
that the director said that he was trying to make with like the like grief and guilt
00:47:20
with any one of those endings.
00:47:22
I did, however, appreciate the tension, the unique take on the alien physiology.
00:47:28
and I did actually enjoy the lack of dialogue.
00:47:31
Okay.
00:47:32
Alright, so you're part of the audience score.
00:47:36
Yeah.
00:47:37
not very critic of me.
00:47:38
Couldn't be me, literally.
00:47:40
I'm telling you the second that we get on Rotten Tomatoes as critics, all these
00:47:46
movie scores are gonna be adjusted.
00:47:48
Well, mine will offset yours because I love this movie.
00:47:54
I think this movie fucking slaps.
00:47:57
I think it's so much fun.
00:47:58
I think it's such an interesting, cool, unique take on like the alien movies.
00:48:03
I love that there's no dialogue.
00:48:05
I don't mind the ending at all.
00:48:06
I feel like it kind of wraps it up nicely.
00:48:10
And I don't know, it makes sense to me to end it there with like her
00:48:15
kind of getting her community that she's been longing for this whole time and like
00:48:19
finding her place in the world even though it's not it's with fucking aliens but yeah
00:48:27
no so I'm I'm kind of on the opposite, opposite spectrum I really wanted to give
00:48:31
this a 3 .75 if you'll let me four I'm going up
00:48:40
Nice.
00:48:41
Yeah, I like this movie.
00:48:42
I like this movie a lot.
00:48:43
But I do, like, I kind of get why people don't like it.
00:48:47
It is a little bit like...
00:48:50
I don't know.
00:48:50
There's parts of it that I can obviously understand people not liking.
00:48:54
But I don't know.
00:48:55
I love this movie.
00:48:56
I think it's so much fun.
00:48:58
I do love the aliens.
00:49:01
I'll give it that much.
00:49:03
No.
00:49:04
I love aliens more than kd confirmed.
00:49:10
I don't care.
00:49:11
You can't hurt me.
00:49:13
You're trying.
00:49:15
I'll start screaming right now Panic attack live on stream.
00:49:25
All right, would you survive?
00:49:30
No
00:49:31
well, are the people dead or are they just aliens?
00:49:34
Infested.
00:49:35
I think they're dead.
00:49:37
Yeah, no, I'm dead.
00:49:39
I'll put the little handheld alien in my mouth myself.
00:49:42
Great.
00:49:45
I believe that you would.
00:49:49
Would you survive?
00:49:52
No.
00:49:53
Yeah, the odds are not really in my favor considering she's like the only person
00:50:00
that we know of who lives.
00:50:02
And I've never killed anyone even on accident, so they probably wouldn't find
00:50:10
me very interesting.
00:50:13
I unfortunately do have friends, so they would not want me.
00:50:21
Yeah.
00:50:22
No reason to keep me around either.
00:50:23
So yeah, I get you.
00:50:25
Yep.
00:50:26
Two gals.
00:50:28
Dying by alien.
00:50:29
Not the worst way to go.
00:50:31
But I do say that in every movie, because, you know.
00:50:34
There's always the worst way to go.
00:50:38
Until we watch.
00:50:43
Honestly, that might be one of the worst ways to go.
00:50:52
Yeah.
00:50:52
off screen decided that we were gonna watch all The Terrifier movies.
00:50:57
Did we decide that?
00:50:58
Is that what we decided?
00:51:00
No, I don't, but I mean, I don't wanna watch any of them.
00:51:05
I was was make you watch at least the first one before the third one comes out,
00:51:08
but if you wanna just fucking go for it, kd, I'm in.
00:51:12
Alright, I shan't see three in theaters.
00:51:17
I simply shan't.
00:51:19
Okay.
00:51:20
Do you want to do one and two then, or do you want to do them all separately?
00:51:23
We can do three after it's not in theaters anymore.
00:51:27
I just need to be able to turn off the sound when I choose.
00:51:32
You know what?
00:51:33
We'll take this offline.
00:51:34
We'll figure this out on our own terms.
00:51:37
Yeah.
00:51:38
Unless somebody has a really strong opinion about it and wants to tell us.
00:51:41
We'll just talk about it off -
00:51:43
listeners is like dead set on how much of the Terrifier films kd sees in one go, you
00:51:50
let us know.
00:51:51
Alright, are you ready to predict next week's movie?
00:51:53
Longlegs, baby.
00:51:55
Hit me.
00:51:57
Longlegs?
00:51:57
Daddy, long legs?
00:51:59
Okay, well, Longlegs is...
00:52:03
Daddy Longlegs is obviously Nick Cage's character's name.
00:52:08
His name is Longlegs.
00:52:10
Why do they call him that?
00:52:11
I don't know, but he, it's another.
00:52:18
I don't know.
00:52:19
I don't know.
00:52:19
I genuinely have no idea.
00:52:23
No, I just, I just, I didn't think about it.
00:52:27
I didn't, I don't wanna, I don't want to go into this with any kind of
00:52:30
expectations.
00:52:31
I do think it's like a monster movie though.
00:52:36
Like not, not aliens necessarily, but I, I'm getting hints of like the Quiet Place.
00:52:46
Vibe, you know, those kind of monsters.
00:52:48
Those are aliens, I understand.
00:52:50
But this is not aliens.
00:52:52
It's just they come out of somewhere.
00:52:55
Caves, maybe.
00:52:57
The ground.
00:52:59
Tremors slash Arcadian vibes.
00:53:04
And.
00:53:07
Nick Cage can control them.
00:53:11
Got it, and that's how he's killing people.
00:53:13
how he's getting wait.
00:53:14
This is a wait.
00:53:15
No, wait.
00:53:15
No, I know this is a murder.
00:53:17
This is murder.
00:53:19
This is a murder movie You told me this a couple episodes ago I'm gonna start over.
00:53:25
I'm starting over.
00:53:26
I'm starting over.
00:53:27
He is long legs He's long.
00:53:29
He's daddy long legs and he's murdering people all over the place.
00:53:34
He's like he's a trucker perhaps that's going across.
00:53:41
Yeah
00:53:41
that's going across the country and he's killing people and he's putting them in a
00:53:44
book.
00:53:45
He writes about them in a book and.
00:53:49
And somebody finds the book and they're like, we gotta find this daddy Longlegs
00:53:54
guy.
00:53:56
And it's like detective, like cat and mouse kinda, detective -y, you know, vibe.
00:54:03
They're having to try to find the murderer before he strikes again.
00:54:07
And so they put in all the stories together and they're like, my God, he's
00:54:11
reenacting a murder that he's done before.
00:54:17
Well, now we have to go and.
00:54:18
save the person.
00:54:21
But they don't.
00:54:24
They don't save the person.
00:54:26
That person dies.
00:54:27
The detective also dies and daddy long legs lives to see another day.
00:54:33
Sequel baby.
00:54:34
Longlegs 2: The Reckoning.
00:54:37
Yeah.
00:54:37
Longer Legs.
00:54:41
Long 2 Legs.
00:54:45
Legs X.
00:54:46
Llllllegs
00:54:50
Lllllllllllllllllllllegs.
00:54:54
shit.
00:54:55
Yeah, no, it's a murder movie.
00:54:57
Definitely.
00:54:57
You spoiled that for me.
00:54:58
Thank you.
00:54:58
Okay, I really wanted it to be monsters.
00:55:01
He did just do monsters though.
00:55:03
Yeah.
00:55:03
Yeah, do you want to guess it too?
00:55:04
No, because I feel like I have more context than you and I want you, I want to
00:55:08
go in blind and I want you to go in blind so I don't want to give you like any more
00:55:11
context than you already have, you know?
00:55:13
Okay, alright.
00:55:15
Thank you.
00:55:16
I mean, I could just mute like I always do when you guess it.
00:55:18
Okay.
00:55:19
Alright, hold on.
00:55:21
She's muting.
00:55:24
Okay, I'm done.
00:55:25
I'm muted.
00:55:25
she's muted.
00:55:27
So my guess, Maika Monroe is starring in it.
00:55:30
She plays a detective that is assigned to the Longlegs case.
00:55:33
Nick Cage is Longlegs.
00:55:35
I don't know if she was guessing that, but I'm pretty sure he's credited as Longlegs.
00:55:41
Thank God I don't really enunciate my mouth very much when I talk, so she can't
00:55:46
read my lips.
00:55:47
Anyways, so then I think...
00:55:51
It is like semi -demonic, so I don't know if it's going to be supernatural at all or
00:55:55
if it's just going to be like he's sacrificing people in a demonic way, like
00:56:00
in a satanistic way.
00:56:02
But I do think it's going to have that element in there.
00:56:05
So definitely could be a little bit supernatural as well.
00:56:10
She's trying so hard.
00:56:12
But yeah, I think she's going to try to find him.
00:56:15
But I also think that there's going to be a personal connection that she has with
00:56:19
the murderer.
00:56:21
and it's gonna kind of be like, Silence of the Lambs-y, you know?
00:56:25
But I think she's gonna catch him in the end.
00:56:27
I'm going to be so sad if it sucks.
00:56:29
have any of the reviews come out yet?
00:56:31
Any of the Rotten Tomatoes or anything?
00:56:33
It's too early.
00:56:36
no, I think there have been screenings of it.
00:56:39
I don't know if there's, I don't know if it's got a Rotten Tomatoes yet.
00:56:44
Let me see.
00:56:45
11 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for critics.
00:56:51
I won't tell you.
00:56:52
And then I did see, I like pulled it up on Letterboxd and like one of the only people
00:57:01
I follow is Cinema Joe and he has seen it and rated it.
00:57:03
So.
00:57:04
I won't tell you what they gave it, but we'll see.
00:57:07
Okay.
00:57:08
Haha.
00:57:09
I mean, it's Nick Cage, it can't be that bad.
00:57:10
Exactly.
00:57:11
Yeah.
00:57:12
All right, well cool.
00:57:13
It's been real.
00:57:14
Yeah, thanks for listening to our episode where kd hates aliens and...
00:57:21
Please.
00:57:24
It's great, the whole time we were talking you seemed like you liked it, so it just
00:57:28
kinda shook me at the end.
00:57:30
Yeah, I really did like the aliens part of it.
00:57:34
I didn't like the end.
00:57:35
Sue me.
00:57:36
Me and the rest of the audience.
00:57:37
I guess you're just not evolved like me, like I'm a critic, so.
00:57:42
I guess so.
00:57:45
Sorry I've only ever seen 80 horror movies.
00:57:47
