00:00:25
Happy Tuesday!
00:00:27
Hello, happy Tuesday.
00:00:31
Oh, I forgot to say hello.
00:00:32
That's okay.
00:00:33
They know.
00:00:35
We got 25 seconds of music that plays before we even start talking.
00:00:39
They better know that we're here.
00:00:41
Yeah.
00:00:43
Uh oh.
00:00:47
It's the week before Halloween.
00:00:48
Hooray.
00:00:50
is next Thursday?
00:00:54
Yeah, it's not Friday.
00:00:55
It's a stupid day of the week.
00:00:56
Nailed it, yeah, yeah, it's always more fun when it's on a weekend.
00:01:01
Yeah.
00:01:03
Are you going trick or treating?
00:01:05
Yep, we're gonna go to the rich people area where they do the full size candy bars.
00:01:11
Hell yeah, that was always my favorite.
00:01:15
Take me to the rich people, Mom.
00:01:18
No, I'm not gonna go trick or treating.
00:01:20
Because I don't wanna be judged.
00:01:24
And I live in an apartment building.
00:01:27
There are kids here though, but they've never come to my door.
00:01:30
Probably because I don't turn my light on.
00:01:33
I don't know, I've never seen them out and about.
00:01:37
Apartment complexes aren't really where the heat is.
00:01:40
That's true, but that's mostly what we got here.
00:01:45
I guess that's true.
00:01:47
They don't go to like the hills.
00:01:51
Ooh, that'd be smart.
00:01:53
Take a little drive down.
00:01:54
Yeah.
00:01:58
You can walk right up to her door.
00:02:01
On Halloween, I bet you could.
00:02:03
I don't think so.
00:02:05
She loves Halloween.
00:02:07
Yeah, I don't think, you know.
00:02:10
Who's to say?
00:02:10
Not me.
00:02:11
I don't, I've never been to Kim's home.
00:02:15
Don't plan on going, so.
00:02:18
Yet.
00:02:19
Once I get a formal invite, you know, I'll drop by.
00:02:26
Well, anyway.
00:02:28
Back to podcasting.
00:02:30
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna change it up.
00:02:33
It was your idea.
00:02:34
You introduced it.
00:02:35
Okay.
00:02:36
Well, I just thought Halloween's next week, so if you're looking for movies to get in the mood, we've got some suggestions for the streaming sites.
00:02:45
Yep.
00:02:47
All of them.
00:02:49
almost all of them.
00:02:52
Yeah, kd's gonna start.
00:02:54
Sure.
00:02:56
All right.
00:02:57
On Max, we should clarify that we're each doing our own lists.
00:03:04
My list is a little bit more mainstream because I don't know shit about fuck.
00:03:08
So I have a really diverse list for all ages and depths of horror fandom.
00:03:18
Yes.
00:03:19
Okay.
00:03:19
So on Max,
00:03:21
can't have a list of must-watch Halloween movies without Scooby-Doo the movie.
00:03:28
And if you're looking for something a little more cozy, Practical Magic.
00:03:33
And of course, Trick 'R Treat is a must-watch.
00:03:36
Yeah, we did an episode on that.
00:03:39
Yeah, we did.
00:03:39
Are we going do an episode on Scooby-Doo the movie?
00:03:43
If you would like to, the live action?
00:03:47
I would assume.
00:03:50
Yeah, for our 500th episode when we have Matthew Lillard guest starring, we'll talk about Scooby-Doo, the movie.
00:03:58
Excellent.
00:04:00
On Paramount Plus, it should be said that The Curse of Michael Myers, H2O, and Resurrection are all available.
00:04:10
Apartment 7A is the new Rosemary's Baby prequel.
00:04:13
That's out.
00:04:14
It's a Paramount Plus original.
00:04:16
Great.
00:04:17
Friday the 13th 1 through 8 are all available on Paramount Plus and I wanted to also include The Twilight Zone, the original show.
00:04:29
All the epis- All seasons.
00:04:32
Hell yeah.
00:04:34
It's a lot.
00:04:36
Probably start it now and it lasts you till Halloween.
00:04:38
you go.
00:04:40
Disney Plus for a little bit more family-friendly vibe.
00:04:42
We've got Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2, obviously.
00:04:45
Halloween Town 1 and Halloween Town 2: Kalabar's Revenge, obviously.
00:04:51
And they also have, like, separate in a playlist, every Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode.
00:05:00
I still, I can't believe you would leave out Halloweentown High that's crazy
00:05:06
I don't know that I ever saw Halloweentown High.
00:05:08
Yeah, you only said...
00:05:10
Kalabar's Revenge is the best, for sure.
00:05:12
Halloweentown High is like, not great, but it's fine.
00:05:18
And then the one after that, which I forgot the name of, they replaced Marnie, so don't watch that one.
00:05:24
Yeah, that one was weird.
00:05:26
No thanks.
00:05:29
On Netflix, I'm gonna recommend Van Helsing.
00:05:34
A classic.
00:05:36
The Babysitter, which is like really campy slasher comedy.
00:05:41
We didn't do an episode on that, did we?
00:05:42
We did not.
00:05:44
Maybe we will one day.
00:05:47
And the Netflix original Adam Sandler classic, Hubie Halloween.
00:05:55
Wow.
00:05:57
I mean, pack it up.
00:06:00
You don't even need to watch anything else, right?
00:06:02
no.
00:06:05
If you've got Prime, you're in luck because both Terrifier one and Terrifier tree two...
00:06:12
what?
00:06:13
Terrifier tree.
00:06:14
The Terrifier Tree series.
00:06:16
You've seen it.
00:06:18
Both Terrifier 1 and 2 are available to stream.
00:06:22
I don't know why you would watch them, but I thought it was important to include because it's Halloween.
00:06:28
Spirit Halloween, the movie.
00:06:30
What?
00:06:31
Yep, you heard it correctly.
00:06:35
Lisa Frankenstein.
00:06:37
It's so cozy and it's horror rom-com.
00:06:40
I love Lisa Frankenstein.
00:06:43
And then of course we're going to mention the brand new Prime original baking competition, Killer Cakes with Matthew Lillard.
00:06:48
Hell yeah, our boy.
00:06:54
Yeah, he doesn't, one day he'll know.
00:06:58
He's really the people's boy, let's be honest.
00:07:03
No, of course not.
00:07:05
On Hulu, I'm almost done sort of.
00:07:10
All of the Halloween episodes of Family Guy, including a 25th anniversary Halloween special.
00:07:18
In a playlist.
00:07:21
Immaculate is now streaming.
00:07:24
That's brand new.
00:07:25
So that's fun.
00:07:26
That's like freshly out of theaters.
00:07:29
The one with Sydney Sweeney.
00:07:30
It came out pretty early this year.
00:07:32
No.
00:07:34
June.
00:07:36
In the summer.
00:07:37
Yeah.
00:07:39
I'm guessing June.
00:07:39
it was earlier than that.
00:07:42
It came out in March.
00:07:45
I was like, we watched that in Discord like a long time ago.
00:07:50
And then When Evil Lurks, which we have done an episode on, that's genuinely a terrifying movie and the scariest one on this list.
00:07:58
And then also I just want to include something spooky and fun.
00:08:01
The FX TV show, What We Do in the Shadows.
00:08:06
Yeah, it's all on Hulu.
00:08:07
And I'm gonna throw in this one for free before I do my last platform.
00:08:10
ThanksKilling is streaming with ads on Tubi.
00:08:15
And we all know that Halloween is the gateway to Thanksgiving.
00:08:18
That's so true.
00:08:20
Yep.
00:08:22
You can save that one for Thanksgiving night or the morning after.
00:08:25
Eat all your candy.
00:08:28
Okay.
00:08:28
And then finally, I'm saving the best for last really with Peacock.
00:08:33
Teacup is the brand new James Wan show.
00:08:38
And then I'm going to be honest with you.
00:08:41
This is not sponsored anyway.
00:08:43
If you had to pick one platform for horror, it's got to be Peacock.
00:08:47
Okay.
00:08:48
have like this horror 101 playlist that has everything you could possibly imagine on it.
00:08:54
So I would say get Peacock for all of your horror watching needs.
00:09:01
I would say Shudder, but that's just me.
00:09:03
Well, Shudder doesn't have a lot of the mainstream stuff.
00:09:06
You know, it doesn't have any of the Halloweens, Friday the 13th?
00:09:10
I mean, neither does Peacock, but Peacock's got like The Fly.
00:09:15
Get Out.
00:09:16
not true.
00:09:16
It does have Friday the 13th.
00:09:20
It's got Friday the 13th, quite a few of them.
00:09:23
It's got It Follows, it's got Audition, it's got a couple that came out this year, Oddity, Stopmotion.
00:09:32
It just released Daddy's Head, which is kind of making its rounds.
00:09:36
So there's a couple mainstream on Shudder, but there's also some good underrated ones, know?
00:09:42
The People Under the Stairs, Wes Craven, the V/H/S series, if you like found footage.
00:09:47
Not the newest V/H/S is on- actually wait.
00:09:50
Yeah, that's the Shudder.
00:09:51
Yeah.
00:09:51
Okay.
00:09:52
Nevermind.
00:09:53
Yeah, egg on your face.
00:09:59
Anyways, was that, that was, that was not sponsored by Peacock, but kd's list of...
00:10:07
Yep.
00:10:10
That was my list.
00:10:11
I like it, I like it.
00:10:13
Well, we know that you've only seen 90-some horror movies ever, and I've seen a bit more than that.
00:10:21
So if you've already seen all the ones that kd mentioned, I'm going to mention some underrated ones that you can watch on the streaming sites.
00:10:28
I don't have Disney Plus, so I had to just go off of memory, but I think Don't Look Under the Bed and Phantom of the Megaplex are the two underrated spooky ones to watch there.
00:10:36
And we did confirm they were available.
00:10:38
Yeah, kd did, because she has it.
00:10:39
She has a child.
00:10:40
So not that you can- Yeah, you can absolutely watch Disney Plus as an adult, but I'm poor.
00:10:52
But I remember Don't Look Under the Bed scared me as a kid.
00:10:54
So and then for Netflix, they have The Ritual and A Classic Horror Story, both of which kind of have like very folk horror vibes.
00:11:03
So if you're into that, check those out.
00:11:06
It also has You're Next which is an underrated slasher and then Creep if you like found footage And I think they have Creep and Creep 2.
00:11:13
I suggest both Do both.
00:11:16
Sequel's just as good
00:11:19
Creep had a miniscule budget and was very successful.
00:11:24
Nailed it.
00:11:26
And then on Hulu, you can find some fun horror comedies like Little Monsters, Fresh, or Tragedy Girls.
00:11:34
All very fun vibes, if you like that.
00:11:37
It has some foreign gems like Titane or The Host.
00:11:41
Titane is by the same director as Raw, which we talked about.
00:11:45
And The Host, we're actually gonna be talking about soon.
00:11:48
That's by Bong Joon-Ho, so you can't really go wrong there.
00:11:53
We did talk about Fresh.
00:11:55
We did an episode on Fresh.
00:11:56
And then also on Hulu is Smile, so if you want to get ready for Smile 2, and you haven't seen it, there you go.
00:12:06
Next week!
00:12:08
And we're talking about it.
00:12:10
And we're talking about it.
00:12:11
Oh my gosh.
00:12:15
Can't get better.
00:12:16
And then Paramount Plus, they've got some good sci-fi picks like The Faculty or another one we did an episode on which I'm surprised you didn't mention, Annihilation.
00:12:28
Yeah, one of kd's favorites.
00:12:31
Yep.
00:12:33
And then they also have the Spanish film, The Orphanage, not to be confused with The Orphan.
00:12:40
The Orphanage, it's available and it's also one of my personal faves.
00:12:44
Love that movie.
00:12:45
Haven't seen it in a while and I plan to revisit it.
00:12:47
So there's that.
00:12:50
And then everybody's seen the show, but not enough people have seen the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
00:12:54
So that is also on Paramount+.
00:12:55
You should definitely watch it.
00:12:57
Very, very fun 90s vibes.
00:13:00
Peacock, it's got some slow burns.
00:13:04
2015's The Invitation and Honeymoon, both kind of underrated, suggest both.
00:13:12
It's also got the, yeah yeah, I just made kd watch it.
00:13:16
She has seen it.
00:13:19
Probably.
00:13:20
It's also got the horror comedy The Final Girls.
00:13:25
We also did an episode on that.
00:13:27
We both...
00:13:29
This list brought to you by Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:13:32
list brought to you by movies we've already talked about.
00:13:36
I'm just promoting past episodes.
00:13:39
That's the whole point of this.
00:13:41
And then if you like found footage, there's also the South Korean movie, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum.
00:13:47
Pretty spooky.
00:13:48
I suggest it.
00:13:50
It's a pretty good...
00:13:51
I like to think of it as like if Grave Encounters...
00:13:56
was like actually scary and not kind of like funny.
00:14:02
Okay, then this movie will scare you even more.
00:14:05
I think Grave Encounters is kind of funny because it's like obviously making fun of Ghost Adventures, you know?
00:14:10
Yeah, whereas like this one's just kind of straight.
00:14:12
They play it a lot more straight.
00:14:15
The same kind of vibe.
00:14:17
And then moving on to Prime Video, they have Lake Mungo.
00:14:20
We just talked about that last episode.
00:14:21
I'm going to keep mentioning last episodes.
00:14:25
You said you were going to pick deep cuts.
00:14:26
We've already talked about all these movies.
00:14:29
OK, not by us.
00:14:32
they didn't listen to them because they haven't watched them.
00:14:36
So you can watch them and then go listen to our podcast episodes on them.
00:14:40
It also has The Slumber Party Massacre, which I also made kd watch recently.
00:14:46
Very fun 80s slasher campy.
00:14:49
Kind of so bad it's good.
00:14:54
Yeah, halfway on purpose.
00:14:57
Halfway not on purpose, but I love that movie.
00:15:01
And then Haunt, if you want a slasher that's like actually creepy, go for that.
00:15:07
And then finally Dog Soldiers, very underrated werewolf movie, highly recommend.
00:15:15
And then finally, last streaming service, Max.
00:15:20
I would suggest The Visit, if you like found footage and M.
00:15:24
Night Shyamalan, cause it's got both.
00:15:27
If you like body horror and 80s vibes, watch The Brood by Cronenberg.
00:15:35
Yeah, there you go.
00:15:38
If you wanna cry, watch I Saw the TV Glow.
00:15:42
Or if you wanna be confused, because it's gonna go one of two ways.
00:15:45
Either you're gonna love it and cry, or you're gonna hate it and be like, what the fuck was that?
00:15:52
And then It Comes At Night is a slow burn thriller that I feel like didn't get enough credit because it wasn't marketed properly.
00:15:58
But yeah, I definitely recommend that.
00:16:02
And then last but not least, kind of have to recommend Bodies Bodies Bodies since we're going to talk about it this episode.
00:16:09
Yeah.
00:16:11
Perfect segue into our overview of Bodies Bodies Bodies.
00:16:15
Thank you.
00:16:15
If there's one thing I do, it's segue into our podcast episodes.
00:16:21
I'll give the overview.
00:16:23
I wrote it.
00:16:24
Great, I didn't, so this worked out perfectly.
00:16:30
Great.
00:16:31
of 20-somethings gets stuck at a remote mansion during a hurricane, a party game gone very, very wrong ends with a dead body on the ground and fake friends every turn as they
00:16:40
try to find the killer among them.
00:16:43
This is a tw-
00:16:46
God.
00:16:47
Sound effects in the middle of my summary.
00:16:55
Yeah.
00:16:56
This is a 2022 movie directed by Halina Reijn on a three million dollar budget.
00:17:02
It's distributed by A24, Sony Pictures and Stage Six Films and made nearly fourteen million dollars at the worldwide box office.
00:17:09
It has a 6.2 out of 10 on IMDb, a 69 % on Metacritic,
00:17:15
and an 86 % critics and 69 % audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:17:21
Which was down for a good chunk of today.
00:17:24
I don't know if you noticed that.
00:17:26
Rotten Tomatoes.
00:17:27
Mm-hmm.
00:17:29
Yeah, they were down.
00:17:30
Must be nice.
00:17:32
Yeah, well I called them and they said, don't worry, we'll get it up and running for you, for the pod.
00:17:38
So, yeah, no worries.
00:17:40
Thank you.
00:17:41
Yeah, where should we start?
00:17:45
I mean, I've got thoughts.
00:17:48
First of all, Pete Davidson, wipe that fucking look off your face when you're talking about zucchini bread.
00:17:52
Zucchini bread is the best fucking bread out there.
00:17:56
Oh, my God.
00:17:57
The face he made?
00:17:59
Unjustified.
00:18:01
face I would have made.
00:18:02
I've never had zucchini bread, but if I was having a party and someone brought me zucchini bread, no, that's not true.
00:18:08
I would actually be very nice if someone brought food to my house, but to my friends later, I would be like, zucchini bread?
00:18:15
What the fuck?
00:18:17
Until you try it.
00:18:19
Yeah, I would have a slice.
00:18:20
It's that good, huh?
00:18:23
Interesting, why?
00:18:24
like, because it's got the it's like carrot cake.
00:18:28
Like, you know, carrot cake is like vegetable in bread.
00:18:34
Zucchini bread.
00:18:35
It's mostly sugar, and the zucchini just provides moisture.
00:18:41
Is it sweet?
00:18:42
It's very sweet.
00:18:44
It's a dessert bread.
00:18:45
No, it's very good.
00:18:48
I was expecting it to be like...
00:18:49
the same face as Pete Davidson!
00:18:55
That's rude.
00:18:57
I just wasn't expecting it to be sweet.
00:19:00
That's throwing me off.
00:19:03
That's why I was comparing it to carrot cake.
00:19:05
Yeah, I thought you just meant like the concept of vegetables in things.
00:19:13
Why do they call it bread then?
00:19:14
I don't expect bread to be sweet.
00:19:17
You never had like raisin toast?
00:19:20
Not on purpose.
00:19:21
Oh my God, raisin toast is really good too!
00:19:26
Or like, cinnamon bread.
00:19:28
Yeah, I guess, yeah.
00:19:30
There's cinnamon in zucchini bread.
00:19:32
Okay, I trust you.
00:19:35
I do.
00:19:38
I will try zucchini bread.
00:19:42
I don't know where to get it.
00:19:44
At the grocery store across the street from your house.
00:19:47
Yes.
00:19:48
Yes.
00:19:50
No, but it's a pretty popular item.
00:19:53
It's in the bakery and it's like, you know, it's a little loaf.
00:19:58
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:59
I'll check it out.
00:20:01
I'll report back.
00:20:03
Thank you.
00:20:05
That wasn't where I was gonna start, but I'm glad we got that off our chests.
00:20:11
Yeah, that's true, that's true.
00:20:12
I was gonna ask,
00:20:14
who did you think did it when you were first watching?
00:20:18
Like, were you suspecting anybody or did you kind of catch on?
00:20:23
I knew something was off when Pete was the first one to get killed.
00:20:29
Yeah.
00:20:30
Why?
00:20:31
Well, my first instinct was he's faking it.
00:20:36
So that that was - he's like he's like trying to get a laugh out of everybody or some shit.
00:20:39
I don't fucking know.
00:20:40
But that was my first instinct.
00:20:41
So from then on, I was like, something's off with the way that Pete died.
00:20:45
And I just can't figure.
00:20:47
I just can't figure it out yet.
00:20:48
Yeah.
00:20:51
So I mean, I was like, I think I followed the
00:20:55
the intended speculation train of different folks throughout the film.
00:21:02
What about you?
00:21:04
I caught on pretty quickly that there wasn't like a killer amongst them.
00:21:12
Like I was like, okay, they killed Greg in front of everybody.
00:21:16
Like we know that.
00:21:17
I pretty much deduced that Emma's was an accident.
00:21:22
Because I was like, at that point, I was like, it would be really interesting if like, it was just the paranoia of this.
00:21:28
But I kept going back to Pete's I was like,
00:21:30
But he died, so like he, you know, had his throat slit, that's not it, you know?
00:21:34
I kept being like, someone had to kill him.
00:21:37
But I kind of suspected that it was Max, like the guy that shows up at the end.
00:21:41
Like I was like, I bet like that guy just came in and did it and they're all like turning on each other or something.
00:21:46
Like that's what I thought, it was like an outside force.
00:21:51
But yeah.
00:21:52
Yeah.
00:21:53
Glad it didn't go that way.
00:21:55
arrived at the conclusion that it should be an accident.
00:21:59
That made it, I think.
00:22:00
That's why it's so memorable.
00:22:02
It's such a great idea.
00:22:03
I can't believe it kind of hasn't...
00:22:06
I've never seen this before.
00:22:07
It
00:22:08
Yeah.
00:22:10
was just an accidental death and everybody went crazy.
00:22:13
Maybe I have.
00:22:14
No, I've seen like fake outs where you think people are dying and then they're not, but...
00:22:18
I don't know if I've seen them actually like turn on each other.
00:22:21
Just start killing each other because they think someone's...
00:22:24
There's a murderer there.
00:22:26
I can saber champagne.
00:22:28
I believe that.
00:22:29
That seems like something that I, yeah, you could do.
00:22:33
Thank you.
00:22:35
I've never done it with a sword.
00:22:38
I do it with a knife.
00:22:40
Okay.
00:22:41
Sure.
00:22:43
Thanks.
00:22:44
We'll put it on our Amazon wishlist.
00:22:48
Yeah.
00:22:50
Ahh...
00:22:51
Do you want to say the fun fact about that?
00:22:53
I feel like you were queuing yourself up to talk about Lee Pace.
00:22:58
Yeah.
00:22:59
I also would just want to say that Lee Pace is in like all of the good franchises, Lord of the Rings and Twilight.
00:23:05
He plays my favorite character with my least favorite name in Twilight.
00:23:10
You're going to have to look it up.
00:23:13
He's so good.
00:23:14
But yes, he practiced sabering the champagne bottle
00:23:20
with the sword he used when he was in The Hobbit film series.
00:23:25
Yeah, he played...
00:23:27
Thank you.
00:23:30
I was just making sure you knew how to say it.
00:23:36
Yeah, I probably didn't say it right.
00:23:39
I think it's Thranduil.
00:23:40
Thranduil?
00:23:40
Thranduil?
00:23:42
Thranduil.
00:23:43
The Hobbit movies sucked.
00:23:46
Lord of the Rings movies are good.
00:23:47
The Hobbit movies were not as good.
00:23:48
My favorite thing about The Hobbit movies is that the dragon is...
00:23:53
we talked about this motion capture of Benedict Cumberbatch's face.
00:23:57
Yeah, it's Mr.
00:23:58
Cumberbatch.
00:23:59
I like that though, that's a little fun fact.
00:24:02
Yeah.
00:24:03
I would have done that too.
00:24:05
Why wouldn't you?
00:24:06
Yeah, I mean if you got the sword handy.
00:24:09
Best way to do it.
00:24:10
I like that they kill off the two guys first.
00:24:13
Me too.
00:24:15
Well, I think it was a little bit of a waste of Pete Davidson, but that's okay.
00:24:18
The fun fact about me, this is actually the first film I've seen Pete Davidson in.
00:24:24
Okay.
00:24:25
I've never seen any of his film work.
00:24:26
I've only ever seen his comedy.
00:24:28
I think I've seen him in other things.
00:24:31
Such as?
00:24:32
Set It Up.
00:24:34
I've never even heard of that.
00:24:35
What's his name again?
00:24:38
Pete Davidson.
00:24:39
I was typing in David Peters.
00:24:42
I can see why you'd be confused.
00:24:44
Yeah, same guy.
00:24:46
I swear he was in the movie Set It Up.
00:24:48
He's like a side character though.
00:24:51
Which is honestly kind of an underrated rom-com.
00:24:54
If you don't like horror movies and you want to watch a rom-com instead.
00:24:59
minutes into a horror movie podcast, but...
00:25:02
you're one of those people, because there's so many people who want horror movies spoiled for them because they don't want to watch them.
00:25:08
So maybe there's that type of person listening.
00:25:11
And they're like, my god, yeah, I would like to watch Set It Up instead of any horror movie you guys just talked about.
00:25:17
Yeah, Set It Up.
00:25:19
He was a side character in that, so I saw him in that.
00:25:22
I saw him in
00:25:24
The Suicide Squad.
00:25:26
He was in that.
00:25:28
And then this.
00:25:29
Squad.
00:25:30
Which is crazy.
00:25:31
He was in the better one of the two.
00:25:36
The first one, don't bother.
00:25:39
Is the first one the one that ends with like Harley Quinn listening to like Bohemian Rhapsody or some shit in jail and Joker comes and breaks her out?
00:25:47
Okay, yeah.
00:25:48
I've seen the end of that one in a hotel and I regret even watching that much of it because he sucks.
00:25:55
he's, I, you know how I feel about him.
00:25:59
He's not in the second one.
00:26:02
And they basically, so the second one's just called The Suicide Squad.
00:26:06
And they were just like, kind of starting fresh.
00:26:09
It's just kinda new.
00:26:09
So I would watch that one.
00:26:11
Huh?
00:26:12
right?
00:26:12
Margot Robbie was the only person they kept.
00:26:14
I think they kept one other person.
00:26:18
Yeah, the guy who played Rick Flag.
00:26:23
I want to say he was in both.
00:26:26
They didn't even keep Will Smith?
00:26:27
No, but, so they were gonna...
00:26:31
Why do I know so much about the fucking Suicide Squad?
00:26:35
I don't even fucking like superhero movies, but I do like Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, so yeah.
00:26:43
I'll watch her in that all the time.
00:26:45
James Wan?
00:26:46
It's James Gunn.
00:26:49
James Gunn did The Suicide Squad.
00:26:51
You're right.
00:26:52
Anyways, they were gonna recast Deadshot?
00:26:59
Is that who Will Smith played?
00:27:00
Yes.
00:27:02
Will Smith played Deadshot in Suicide Squad and they were gonna recast Deadshot with Idris Elba because Will Smith didn't want to come back for it.
00:27:13
And then Will Smith was like, well, maybe I'll do something in the future.
00:27:17
So they were like, okay, we won't recast.
00:27:19
So they left Deadshot alone and they recast him
00:27:22
as Bloodsport instead.
00:27:26
Yeah, so Idris Elba is still in it, but just they added a different character instead of rehashing Deadshot.
00:27:32
Cute.
00:27:33
Yeah.
00:27:35
That's crazy.
00:27:36
remember why I know all this.
00:27:40
Crazy.
00:27:41
Yeah, anyways, Pete Davidson is in that too, but I'm pretty sure he dies like very quickly in that as well, so...
00:27:49
Maybe that's his thing, he just dies quickly.
00:27:52
I mean, he's got a face for radio.
00:27:55
That's not a nice thing to say.
00:28:00
I'm joking.
00:28:03
It just makes sense if they kill him off early.
00:28:07
I'm just kidding.
00:28:08
it doesn't even like matter though because he just has that erra- like that aura that he looks like he fucks like he says it in this movie he looks like he fucks and he's right.
00:28:19
Like he does so it doesn't matter he doesn't matter.
00:28:23
So you agree you think he has a face for radio.
00:28:27
I'm not commenting on that either way.
00:28:32
I'm saying that funny guys who look like they fuck don't have to be traditionally handsome.
00:28:40
I'm picking up what you're putting down.
00:28:45
No, actually Pete Davidson is
00:28:48
exactly my type but one of my type.
00:28:51
Great.
00:28:52
And I didn't like him being mean.
00:28:54
Really bothered me.
00:28:57
Yeah.
00:28:59
Yeah.
00:29:01
Or like, or like, I mean, bad boy Pete's fine, but not mean boy.
00:29:05
Yeah.
00:29:06
Well, I think that this was supposed, like they're all kind of supposed to be the worst, you know?
00:29:12
Yeah, that's kind of the point.
00:29:13
Yeah, and I didn't like it.
00:29:15
I mean, it was great for film, but I didn't like seeing him be mean.
00:29:20
Yeah, it wasn't part of your fantasy.
00:29:23
Yeah, it was, yeah.
00:29:25
He was good at it though.
00:29:27
Yeah, I thought he did well.
00:29:29
Yeah.
00:29:30
The whole reason I brought that up and then we started talking about fucking Suicide Squad for some reason, was because Halina Reijn basically said that she loved the face-off
00:29:44
between David and Greg, the two characters, Lee Pace and Pete Davidson.
00:29:51
That's why I was thinking Dave Peterson because his name is David in the movie.
00:29:55
That's it.
00:29:56
Okay.
00:29:57
Anyways, but...
00:29:59
she said that she was just like a sucker for the way men compete with each other.
00:30:03
So she wanted to really showcase that.
00:30:06
And then also in an interview, she said that they knew that they wanted the men to die first.
00:30:11
And then basically the whole cause of everything is like this male toxic competitiveness that starts it all.
00:30:19
Because if he had just been a normal person, he wouldn't have slit his own throat and then no one would have died.
00:30:28
And I kinda like that.
00:30:29
Yeah.
00:30:31
Men will be the downfall of humanity.
00:30:34
Well.
00:30:35
If they haven't already done that.
00:30:37
Time will tell.
00:30:39
More about Pete Davidson.
00:30:40
He's all I'm going to talk about.
00:30:44
And Lee Pace.
00:30:46
He actually punched Lee Pace during the tequila slap scene, which is fucking crazy because if they use the actual sound, like he landed that punch pretty fucking good.
00:30:57
I'm hoping there was some folly artist working there somewhere, because that was...
00:31:02
that sounded like it hurt.
00:31:04
Yeah, but Lee gave him permission to do that, so it's not like he knew it was coming.
00:31:09
Yeah, that you don't just punch someone without asking them first.
00:31:13
Yeah.
00:31:14
And you know what?
00:31:15
So this movie is the only live action Among us that I ever need just to throw that out there.
00:31:23
And I think that there is one of each people, I'll let you decide, in our friend group, one, you can assign everybody in our friend group to one of the characters in this movie,
00:31:36
and I am definitely Pete Davidson's character getting annoyed the fastest.
00:31:41
Like angry, yelling, screaming, telling people to shut up.
00:31:45
Now I'm nervous of who you think I am in this.
00:31:49
Well, I didn't actually think it out.
00:31:50
I just know for a fact that there's each one of us has a person.
00:31:54
Okay.
00:31:55
Who would you be.
00:31:56
I know who I want to be, but I don't think that's who I actually am.
00:32:01
Alice.
00:32:04
I think you could be Alice, the comedic relief.
00:32:06
Yeah, absolutely.
00:32:08
She's my favorite character in this whole thing.
00:32:10
I love Rachel Sennott.
00:32:12
I think she's amazing and I'm so happy that she's...
00:32:16
This was kind of the start of her...
00:32:17
She got like a whole bunch of stuff all at once.
00:32:19
Like, Shiva Baby came out and then she was, I think, at a party announcing the fact that Bottoms was gonna get picked up the same day that she found out that she got this role.
00:32:32
So it was like everything kind of all happened at once.
00:32:35
But I think she's...
00:32:36
hilarious in this.
00:32:38
I love Alice so much.
00:32:40
Yeah, she was funnier than Pete.
00:32:43
She, yeah, she's by far the funniest character in this.
00:32:46
Yeah, and one of my criticisms was like, they underutilized the comedic talent in this movie.
00:32:53
And I think, I feel like she should have had a few more good scenes.
00:32:59
See, I thought this movie's hilarious.
00:33:00
I think it's like, perfectly...
00:33:03
It's hilarious, but it could have been funnier.
00:33:06
I thought it was a good balance.
00:33:08
We'll get to that.
00:33:09
We're still talking about fun facts.
00:33:11
Did you, did you recognize the scene?
00:33:15
Cause one of the sound bites for this movie was kind of trending on TikTok for a while there.
00:33:23
It's the part right after she gets shot.
00:33:27
And she's like, you're the murderer.
00:33:29
I knew it.
00:33:30
You're such a bitch.
00:33:31
You're such a fucking bitch.
00:33:34
That was all over TikTok.
00:33:37
hear that on TikTok.
00:33:40
That's funny.
00:33:43
Yeah, that was the best scene by far.
00:33:45
That whole exchange, that and also around the same time, the exchange of her being like your upper middle class.
00:33:59
Your parents teach at a university.
00:34:02
It's private or it's public.
00:34:05
the...
00:34:06
Like from when the gun gets picked up until when she gets shot, when Alice gets shot is fucking hilarious.
00:34:12
I think like until she dies it's almost hilarious.
00:34:17
It's just so good.
00:34:21
She's great.
00:34:22
Yeah.
00:34:24
Yeah, that was a top tier.
00:34:29
I wish there was more of her.
00:34:30
Is that so much to ask?
00:34:32
Is that unreasonable?
00:34:34
not at all.
00:34:36
I get what you're saying because I also feel like - I think Alice is like everybody's favorite character when they watch this movie and everybody wants more of her.
00:34:45
But it's also like you can't just have a whole movie about Alice because then she's not as endearing, you know what I mean?
00:34:49
Because you can't, there's a formula to these things, you know?
00:34:57
You have to kill the cutie, kd.
00:34:58
That's the whole point.
00:35:01
the point I know.
00:35:03
But I mean, to be fair, I only docked it a quarter of a point for that reason.
00:35:07
So yeah.
00:35:10
A little foreshadowing there, I like it.
00:35:13
Foreshadowing.
00:35:15
If I took as many shots as they took throughout this movie, I'd be fucking dead.
00:35:19
Yeah, you have like one mimosa and you're dead, so I can't imagine you in this state.
00:35:26
My doctor thinks I'm allergic to alcohol and my liver rejects it more so than the normal person.
00:35:31
Interesting.
00:35:33
I still drink it.
00:35:34
Please drink responsibly.
00:35:38
Not like these people.
00:35:40
Or me, apparently.
00:35:42
Or kd.
00:35:43
Yeah.
00:35:44
I loved the kind of cinematography decision, I guess, that the only source of light were cell phones, headlamps, glow sticks.
00:36:00
And they really had to, the cast really had to like hit their marks in order to get the lighting correct.
00:36:08
That would be really tricky as
00:36:12
you know, an actor, you're not really thinking about the lighting.
00:36:14
That's like not really your job.
00:36:16
But I bet that was super fun to have to worry about that a little bit.
00:36:21
Yeah, I feel like it's just kind of an interesting experience, I guess.
00:36:26
Yeah, they really just used their phones and the headlamp and the glow sticks to light everything.
00:36:32
And I think the cinematographer Jasper Wolf, he would hold a flashlight sometimes too that would kind of blend in.
00:36:41
Yeah, as someone who like yells about lighting all the time, because I hate it when I can't fucking see what's happening, this was a good example of a movie that was very dark
00:36:51
but showed you everything you needed to see.
00:36:53
Like everything that was important to the plot was shown very clearly.
00:36:59
I was never sitting there squinting trying to see what was happening.
00:37:03
So I appreciate that.
00:37:06
Yeah.
00:37:08
The other thing fun about the lighting, did you see that each character was like assigned a different source of light?
00:37:14
That's super fun.
00:37:15
because it's supposed to like represent them as a person.
00:37:18
Yes.
00:37:19
So Bee has her phone strapped to her hip, which shows her selflessness for helping her mother and others.
00:37:27
Jordan uses a headlamp showing her spotlight for no nonsense confrontation.
00:37:33
Alice covers herself in glow tubes, which is self-explanatory.
00:37:39
Which also, I think it's funny that in a lot of like the fun facts and interviews, they're calling them glow tubes, but I grew up calling them glow sticks.
00:37:48
Same.
00:37:50
Yeah.
00:37:50
the only one there.
00:37:52
Then Emma never really uses a light.
00:37:57
She was the most introverted of the bunch.
00:37:59
And then Greg and David never use any light sources because they're men and they suck.
00:38:07
Exactly.
00:38:08
Yep.
00:38:11
Well, well, okay, actually, I take a little bit of, I don't know that I agree with that completely because I think it would be funny to assign Greg as the like red light mask as
00:38:22
his light source because he was very like hippie dippy, you know.
00:38:27
Yeah, I liked Greg.
00:38:28
I thought he was funny.
00:38:30
Yeah.
00:38:31
That's his light source.
00:38:32
He's the only one that was in the military.
00:38:34
He's a veterinarian.
00:38:39
An assistant to veterinarians.
00:38:43
God, this movie is so funny.
00:38:48
Why'd you call him G.I.
00:38:51
Joe?
00:38:52
him!
00:38:54
I would have said the exact same thing.
00:38:58
That's like why she's so brilliant of a character is because like that's a person like that's absolutely like just a dumbass.
00:39:06
Like an endearing dumbass that you know, you know?
00:39:11
Well, you don't know any of those.
00:39:13
I wanna be one.
00:39:15
Hahaha!
00:39:16
Did you see what Amandla Stenberg said to one of the film critics?
00:39:22
Hell yeah.
00:39:24
Which, but is Aman- is Amandla Stenberg the girl from The Tooth Fairy?
00:39:30
No, that's...
00:39:31
Madison Pettis?
00:39:36
You know Amandla Stenberg, though.
00:39:38
I know I do, but I don't remember what from.
00:39:41
She plays Rue in The Hunger Games.
00:39:43
My God, duh!
00:39:45
I'm just watching The Hunger Games!
00:39:47
I know, that's why I thought you were gonna say that.
00:39:49
I knew she was like a lot younger in some movie that I love.
00:39:53
I love The Tooth Fairy too.
00:39:55
Yeah, who doesn't?
00:39:58
I don't think I've ever seen that.
00:40:00
It's with The Rock and Madison Pettis.
00:40:04
You just found out it was Madison Pettis two minutes ago.
00:40:08
I was more of like a, like a, Pacifier type of girl, you know?
00:40:13
Crazy but that that that was our generation.
00:40:17
Tooth Fairy was the next generation.
00:40:20
That's why I missed it.
00:40:21
Yeah, I was still watching it because I had a little brother.
00:40:24
That's fair.
00:40:25
I was the youngest.
00:40:27
Anyways, Amandla Stenberg, a la Rue, from The Hunger Games, She messaged a New York Times film critic named Lena Wilson.
00:40:39
After Wilson called the film, a 95 minute advertisement for cleavage.
00:40:44
That's what she said in her review.
00:40:48
And Amandla messaged back saying, your review was great.
00:40:51
Maybe if you had gotten your eyes off my tits, you could have watched the movie.
00:40:56
Which I think is a perfect response.
00:40:58
I don't even...
00:41:00
You don't even see her tits.
00:41:01
I don't even remember that much cleavage and I just watched it today.
00:41:06
The main character is wearing a crew neck t-shirt the whole time.
00:41:12
I didn't think it was that, I mean like not to spoil what's to come, but like I thought it was a sexy movie, but not because you're seeing tits all the time.
00:41:21
Just because the vibes and the cast, you know?
00:41:27
Yeah, yeah.
00:41:28
Didn't hurt.
00:41:29
But yeah, there was no cleavage at all in this movie.
00:41:33
I like barely.
00:41:36
Like she's wearing a tank top.
00:41:37
Amandla Stenberg's wearing a tank top.
00:41:39
Like you can see a little bit of cleavage, but it's not like overwhelming at all.
00:41:43
There's no close up shots of it.
00:41:45
There's no like focus on it.
00:41:47
That reviewer is like the same type of person who says that girls can't wear tank tops at school because their shoulders are gonna distract boys.
00:41:53
Like, you gotta calm down.
00:41:55
Yeah.
00:41:57
Lena Wilson.
00:41:59
Yeah, boo.
00:42:01
Did you notice the A24 logo?
00:42:02
Yeah, it's glow sticks.
00:42:06
So cute.
00:42:07
I know.
00:42:08
I know I can't remember what episode we talked about it, but I'll never stop thinking about the fact that they change the logo for the vibe of every movie.
00:42:16
I know there was another movie that we talked about that for.
00:42:19
I think it was probably Midsommar or something like that where, yeah.
00:42:23
wasn't Longlegs.
00:42:25
No, well Longlegs is NEON.
00:42:27
We've done other A24, we've done Hereditary and Beau Is Afraid and I'm just naming Ari Aster films now, but I want to say it was Midsommar because it's the flower logo and I
00:42:39
liked that too.
00:42:42
It might have been Beau though.
00:42:44
It might have been, but I can't remember what Beau's was.
00:42:48
we should rank all the A24 logos and their perspective movies.
00:42:53
This one's great.
00:42:55
and this one actually when the one for I Saw the TV Glow come came out, I was kind of like, that kind of reminds me of this one because it's also very glowy and it's obviously
00:43:04
more purple for that movie.
00:43:06
But.
00:43:07
I don't know what a small little thing to do that like I'll lose my mind over.
00:43:14
I love that shit.
00:43:17
Yeah, and it's also like it's it's so good for branding and marketing like you get merch with the logo but like the logo for your favorite movie and it's just like a subtle little
00:43:28
nod to it.
00:43:28
It's very smart.
00:43:30
But they don't sell those.
00:43:31
They don't sell like things of the logo for each movie.
00:43:35
It's very annoying.
00:43:37
I know, as a dedicated AAA24 member, I agree with you.
00:43:42
As someone who used your Triple A membership to buy things that I wanted.
00:43:48
I agree.
00:43:50
Yeah.
00:43:52
I would buy a nice like, crewnext sweater with the glow stick logo on it.
00:43:58
Or like better, a crew next letter with all of the different logos on it.
00:44:03
Like on the back?
00:44:04
That'd be kind of sick.
00:44:07
No, that's too much for the front.
00:44:08
I'd like that on the back.
00:44:10
Like the regular one on the front, up here or something.
00:44:12
regular one here.
00:44:13
Okay, somebody call A24 because we have some merch that they need to do right now, because that's a brilliant fucking idea.
00:44:22
I would buy that.
00:44:24
And then they could even, my God, it's branding genius.
00:44:30
It's merch genius because every time they add like five more movies with new logos, they can push out another.
00:44:36
Now you got to buy the new one because the new movies are on there.
00:44:39
Yep.
00:44:40
It's like Apple iPhones.
00:44:42
Just push them out.
00:44:43
could be like the Harkins cups that they do every year where you have to get a new one every year to get your drinks for a dollar.
00:44:50
I think it's $2 now.
00:44:52
I don't know what that is, Harkins?
00:44:54
What's Harkins?
00:44:55
Harkins is the movie theater.
00:44:57
Harkins, you buy their cups, you get $2 refills all year.
00:45:01
And it's like a fun design that has like all the new movies from that year, but also pays homage to like a bunch of older movies too.
00:45:08
My God, I love that.
00:45:10
And they also have a t-shirt.
00:45:11
You buy the t-shirt, you get a free refill on your popcorn.
00:45:14
It's great.
00:45:15
Okay, similar, but kind of unrelated.
00:45:19
There was a bar I used to go to when I lived in Iowa, because it was right on camp, well, not on campus, but right across the street from campus.
00:45:28
In my younger years, and they had dollar mug nights.
00:45:32
And so you go and you buy a mug, like a drink in a mug, and I think it was like $2 or $3 for your first one, but then you keep the mug.
00:45:41
And then every Thursday they do dollar mug nights and you can bring your mug back and refill it for a dollar.
00:45:46
So you could get a Long Island Iced Tea for a dollar.
00:45:50
And it was great.
00:45:51
It was so smart because a lot of college kids lost their mugs.
00:45:55
But then like you have friends like mine who show up with like eight mugs in their hands like who miss- who needs what.
00:46:00
Just passing them out.
00:46:02
It was so great.
00:46:03
That was my favorite night.
00:46:04
Thirsty Thursdays, dollar mug nights.
00:46:06
They would also do seven dollar liquor pitchers.
00:46:09
See, didn't get the real college experience because I started college when I was 16.
00:46:16
I got the real college experience because I dropped out.
00:46:20
So I was just going to party.
00:46:21
I wasn't even going to school.
00:46:23
Yeah, I mean to be fair I dropped out too, but I didn't get to party.
00:46:28
Yeah, going at 16 would not be fun.
00:46:30
I went at seven- No, I had just turned 18.
00:46:35
I graduated at 17, turned 18, went to college, and then dropped out after like a year and a half and just drank a lot.
00:46:45
Fought for your right to party.
00:46:46
I did, and that was back when like Four Locos still had the recipe that's like illegal now.
00:46:53
I'm telling you, I should not have survived my twenty's.
00:46:56
Yeah, no worry.
00:46:58
You don't get hangovers because you're immune.
00:47:01
The first time I ever got drunk I didn't get a hangover.
00:47:05
Yeah, I was...
00:47:08
was about to say how old I was, but then I was like, I was at my...
00:47:15
a family Fourth of July party.
00:47:18
They let let you drink?
00:47:19
Well, I feel like Midwestern families.
00:47:22
yeah, well, the parents all went to do something.
00:47:26
I think they went to a bar or something like that.
00:47:29
And then when they got back, I was gone.
00:47:34
They were like, let's go see the fireworks.
00:47:36
And I laid face down on concrete.
00:47:40
And I fell asleep for a bit.
00:47:41
And then I woke up.
00:47:42
And then the next morning, my mom was like, let's go.
00:47:44
We're going boating.
00:47:45
That's your punishment.
00:47:46
At like 8 a.m.
00:47:48
And I had a great time.
00:47:48
Went tubing, I was like riding the waves, and my mom was so mad that I wasn't hungover, because she thought it was going to be this great, like you have to go sit in the bright
00:47:58
lights in the hot sun and like feel sick on the water.
00:48:03
I had a great day.
00:48:05
That's my fucking nightmare.
00:48:08
Tubing in the hot sun after one drink would kill me.
00:48:12
I would simply pass away.
00:48:14
My friend was with me and it was her punishment as well and she did not have a good time at all.
00:48:23
Yeah, she was hurting.
00:48:26
Poor thing.
00:48:27
Anyways, drink responsibly again.
00:48:28
That's the message of this episode, drink responsibly please.
00:48:35
Well, back to the point of this.
00:48:40
Talking about Bodies times three.
00:48:43
Bodies X3.
00:48:45
There were some...
00:48:48
There was one scene that did get cut and one scene that almost got cut.
00:48:52
The kissing scene at the beginning of the movie was going to be a lot longer.
00:48:57
And we trimmed it down a lot, which like, okay, fine.
00:49:02
But I wouldn't have complained if it was longer.
00:49:06
And then the scene where Sophie and Emma kiss, they did cut that and both of the actresses were like, what the fuck?
00:49:14
They were disappointed by that.
00:49:15
So they put back in.
00:49:18
Much to the delight of me, everyone.
00:49:24
Yeah, I know the director wanted to open out the movie with like a tender, passionate, kind of primal moment to kick things off.
00:49:39
And it worked.
00:49:40
It was very realistic kissing too.
00:49:42
I feel like that's only, I think it's because men don't know how to kiss.
00:49:47
You really harping on the men this episode.
00:49:50
Yeah, sorry.
00:49:51
I do like some of them.
00:49:54
Not many, though.
00:49:56
To be clear, not all of you.
00:49:59
all of them.
00:50:01
Not all of them.
00:50:03
Not even a little of them.
00:50:04
Not even like a few.
00:50:05
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50:07
Let's get shorter every day.
00:50:10
Just crossin em off one by one.
00:50:13
Yeah.
00:50:15
I like this movie is very much about, you know, our dependency on technology as well.
00:50:23
Halina Reijn said that the last line, "I have reception." was basically meaning like that's more important than anything that like, if we don't have reception, we don't have
00:50:34
oxygen.
00:50:35
Like that's what it feels like these days where we're so connected all the time.
00:50:40
So I thought that was kind of fun.
00:50:43
Yeah, it was perfect kind of stamp on the theme of the film.
00:50:49
Yeah, the tone.
00:50:50
Yeah.
00:50:51
Like you couldn't have said, my God, they're all dead or I'm so sorry or please help us or call 911.
00:50:57
Like you had to say I have reception because that was the most important part.
00:51:02
Which we both had which at the same time, but you went first.
00:51:06
So go ahead.
00:51:09
Yeah, I just think that this movie does a really good job of
00:51:13
poking fun at a generation without being mean.
00:51:16
Like, I feel like it's very much like it's poking fun at Gen Z and I think some younger millennials as well, but like in a way that that group can also laugh along with it and
00:51:29
not in a way that feels mean or
00:51:32
or patronizing.
00:51:34
patronizing or rude or not fun.
00:51:39
I think it did a good job at that.
00:51:41
I agree.
00:51:42
What was your "which"?
00:51:45
I'm sorry.
00:51:47
was hours ago.
00:51:52
Do you have any other fun facts?
00:51:55
Yeah, everybody that is in the pool holding their breath underwater at the beginning of the movie dies at the end.
00:52:01
I loved that.
00:52:04
That was kind of like a fun little in hindsight kind of thing.
00:52:08
Mm-hmm.
00:52:10
And then everybody that was accused of being the murderer...
00:52:14
got killed.
00:52:15
Or no, I'm sorry.
00:52:17
I'm gonna start that over.
00:52:18
Yep.
00:52:20
And then everyone that was accused of being a murderer ended up killing someone.
00:52:25
Yeah.
00:52:27
I was like, hold on.
00:52:30
I was like, Bee was definitely accused, but she did not die.
00:52:33
Yeah.
00:52:34
The other thing that was kind of like a fun in hindsight thing that I didn't catch while the movie was playing, was the underwear that Bee finds in Sophie's bag in the car.
00:52:46
They really kind of gloss over that.
00:52:49
It matches the bra, Jordan's bra in the house.
00:52:54
Yeah, the director was worried that people wouldn't realize that.
00:52:58
I didn't, I'm sorry.
00:52:59
I did.
00:53:01
But that's because I feel like it, like the way it kind of focused on it a little bit.
00:53:06
I was just like, OK, that's interesting.
00:53:08
And then when I saw the bra later and she kind of snatches it out, I was like, there it is.
00:53:16
Yeah.
00:53:16
Yeah.
00:53:18
And you know what, I really relate to...
00:53:22
holding a gun on someone and making them read their text messages out loud.
00:53:27
I get it.
00:53:30
I would never do it, but I get it.
00:53:34
Yeah, I think if it's gotten to the point where I feel the need to hold a gun to you to read your text messages, the trust isn't there.
00:53:44
So that that relationship is probably not going to work out for us anyway.
00:53:48
Yeah.
00:53:50
And also by that point, like it was so obvious that she was cheating anyway, that it was like.
00:53:58
That is something.
00:53:58
Yeah.
00:54:01
That's
00:54:02
the director's kind of like pseudo-confirmed that she was cheating on her.
00:54:07
Because there were a lot of things, like there was like a whole conspiracy theory that Emma actually was killed and some fans thought that and that the director kind of said no,
00:54:18
she didn't.
00:54:20
She just fell.
00:54:21
Which also she said that she was inspired for that death by the real life documentary about the staircase.
00:54:29
If you haven't seen it, you actually should go watch it because it's really fascinating.
00:54:33
You go down the rabbit hole of the owl theory, but crazy.
00:54:38
Yeah.
00:54:40
Anyway, so yeah, kind of like a true crime inspiration for that.
00:54:45
But yeah, she's she's pretty much confirmed Emma's death was an accident.
00:54:50
She was cheating.
00:54:52
Jordan was the one who killed Alice, although accidentally.
00:54:59
I mean, the gun was in Jordan's hand.
00:55:00
That should have been obvious.
00:55:02
Yeah, but sometimes, you know, someone else like hits the trigger or something, you know, in a struggle like that, you don't know.
00:55:09
But she kind of said she imagines that it was Jordan.
00:55:13
Which I think everybody else kind of did too.
00:55:16
Fun movie.
00:55:18
Yeah.
00:55:19
Fun movie, fun facts.
00:55:22
Only the funnest.
00:55:25
Let's rate it.
00:55:26
Okay.
00:55:28
How scary did you think it was?
00:55:31
A one out of five.
00:55:34
Yeah, this is...
00:55:36
It's just not that vibe.
00:55:38
This is a fun, a fun romp.
00:55:41
It's not scary.
00:55:43
What about you?
00:55:44
I mean, I- we were supposed to be scared by the idea of like losing technology.
00:55:50
But honestly I would like kill to be disconnected for just like a day, you know?
00:55:55
I always thought that it would be harder than it was, but then when I went to Croatia this summer, and there was a whole week where we were on a boat and I didn't have Wi-Fi, and I
00:56:06
was in a foreign country and I didn't get cell service there, so I just didn't...
00:56:10
I was not connected to the internet for a full week and I was like, I didn't even really miss it.
00:56:15
I was fine.
00:56:17
So, I think I'd be okay.
00:56:19
Yeah.
00:56:22
Until I needed to like Google Maps something.
00:56:25
Yeah, I can't imagine.
00:56:26
Not having Google Maps would be the end of me.
00:56:29
Yeah.
00:56:31
You gave it a one then?
00:56:33
Nice.
00:56:34
How sexy did you think it was?
00:56:38
Yeah, this movie was incredibly horny.
00:56:40
It was so horny for itself.
00:56:42
And it worked for me, which is all that matters.
00:56:46
I gave it a four out of five.
00:56:48
For the cast and yeah, well, for all of it.
00:56:53
And the vibes.
00:56:55
What'd you give it?
00:56:57
I gave it a 4.5 out of 5.
00:57:00
Also for the cast and the vibes.
00:57:02
And a lot for Rachel Sennott.
00:57:04
Big fan.
00:57:07
Yeah.
00:57:09
How fucked up did you think it was?
00:57:11
A one.
00:57:12
It was kind of just, you know, slasher stuff.
00:57:16
What about you?
00:57:17
Yeah, I also gave it a 1.
00:57:18
I really wanted to give it points, but I just couldn't think of anything.
00:57:22
Yeah, that's fair.
00:57:23
Why wai- you just...
00:57:26
I like that you just wanted to give it points.
00:57:29
I did.
00:57:29
mean, it deserves points for things.
00:57:31
Yeah, I mean, not to say that the more fucked up points the movie has, the better it is, but.
00:57:37
Yeah, no, not always.
00:57:41
Overall, what did you think of Bodies Bodies Bodies?
00:57:45
I have a lot to say.
00:57:46
Uh oh.
00:57:49
This movie was really fun.
00:57:52
Yeah, it was so fun.
00:57:53
I loved reading about all the parallels after the fact, which like shouldn't influence my rating at all, but it absolutely does.
00:57:59
I think that that's absolutely the director, like went out of her way to make those parallels and they're really cool.
00:58:08
I'm giving extra points for like the thoughtfulness of the light source thing and the death foreshadowing thing.
00:58:13
And of course, for like the no killer concept because to your point,
00:58:17
I don't know of any movie like that.
00:58:20
And the fact that you don't is even more impressive.
00:58:24
It was kind of this perfect example of horror comedy without trying too hard.
00:58:28
Also, the cast was incredible.
00:58:30
I wouldn't change a thing about the cast.
00:58:33
All that to say, I gave it a 4.5.
00:58:35
I'll definitely recommend this movie.
00:58:40
It's a perfect gateway horror movie.
00:58:43
Mm-hmm.
00:58:43
I really, really enjoyed it.
00:58:44
The only reason I didn't give it a five?
00:58:48
Two small things, I told you.
00:58:49
I subtracted a quarter of a point for each of these things.
00:58:53
One, because it was a little predictable.
00:58:54
Like I said, I kind of knew something was going on with Pete.
00:58:58
David, I guess.
00:59:01
And then I still feel like they a little bit underutilized the two, like, kind of comic relief.
00:59:09
I think that they could have been utilized a little bit more.
00:59:12
But I couldn't like, I couldn't really hold it against it because they did do a really good job blending horror and comedy.
00:59:18
Which is really hard when you're- when I'm watching the movie.
00:59:23
So yeah it overall it like kept me guessing it was fun it was hot four and a half.
00:59:32
We're back on track.
00:59:34
We had a detour last week.
00:59:37
We're back on.
00:59:38
I don't know.
00:59:39
I got nervous.
00:59:41
I thought you were going to like, Lake Mungo, but then you didn't like it.
00:59:45
So that one was rough for me.
00:59:47
It was, it was hard to cope with that.
00:59:51
but yeah, that's the correct answer.
00:59:53
This is a 4.5 out of 5.
00:59:57
Which I think is funny.
00:59:57
I gave it two ones and two 4.5s.
01:00:01
Yeah.
01:00:02
But yeah, I love this movie.
01:00:05
I think anybody who knows anything about the type of movies I like could watch this and be like, this is a you movie.
01:00:13
It's just vibes all day long.
01:00:15
It's so much fun.
01:00:16
It's hilarious.
01:00:19
I think it has rewatchability because it's still fun to like go back and be like, wait, okay, yeah, no one.
01:00:25
This was all just kind of people killing people, you know?
01:00:29
Yeah.
01:00:32
But it's such a fun movie.
01:00:34
I don't think it's like...
01:00:36
I don't know.
01:00:37
It did well, so I don't want to say it's underrated, but I still think it's one of those ones that I don't see mentioned a lot.
01:00:43
So it feels kind of underrated.
01:00:46
More people should watch this movie and love it, because I love it.
01:00:52
I agree.
01:00:53
Yeah, I'm glad.
01:00:54
I mean, everybody should like this movie.
01:00:56
I'm surprised that you were worried that I wasn't gonna like it.
01:00:59
Well, I didn't think you weren't gonna like it.
01:01:01
I just, you you never know these days.
01:01:03
Yeah.
01:01:04
Yeah.
01:01:05
Would you survive?
01:01:07
I don't know.
01:01:09
It's really hard to say.
01:01:12
I mean, I want to say no.
01:01:14
Well.
01:01:16
Yeah, I want to say no.
01:01:17
Yeah, I think I'm getting accidentally killed.
01:01:23
Which is fine.
01:01:24
I mean, I'm not Pete Davidson because I'm not killing myself with a saber.
01:01:27
I already know how to do that.
01:01:30
I'm not Greg.
01:01:32
Is that his name?
01:01:34
Because I'm not intimidating in the same way that he was where people would be threatened enough by me to have to kill me.
01:01:43
I would probably freak out a little bit.
01:01:46
So maybe I'm like Jordan and people kind of push me over the edge and I fell to my death maybe.
01:01:53
There's potential there.
01:01:54
Yeah, you're shooting someone in the leg.
01:01:57
Yeah, well,
01:01:59
if I had the chance to do that once.
01:02:01
Great, okay.
01:02:04
Alright, you think you're, you think you're goner.
01:02:07
Yeah, I didn't get through all the characters, but you see where I'm going with it.
01:02:10
I just I think I'm dead.
01:02:12
It's just your fate.
01:02:13
All right.
01:02:17
RIP.
01:02:19
No, I think I survive.
01:02:22
I am so much more level-headed than those people, and I truly believe in my ability to, calm down my friends if they're escalating.
01:02:35
Like, I think...
01:02:36
My immediate reaction when we found Pete's character, because I'm not doing that either, would be like, he was outside, let's not overreact and think that it's one of us when it
01:02:46
could have been a stranger.
01:02:47
Let's lock ourselves in, let's hunker down, wait out the storm, call 911, and we're all going to be calm, we're going to sit in a room together, and we're just going to chill.
01:03:00
Also, I would never be friends with those types of people.
01:03:03
that also.
01:03:05
Yeah, that's fair.
01:03:07
Anyways, do you wanna predict next week's movie?
01:03:13
Yep.
01:03:14
Well, I don't know if I should.
01:03:16
I know a lot about it.
01:03:19
Smile.
01:03:20
Yeah.
01:03:22
We'll just do a little one just in case.
01:03:24
And Smile 2, because we're seeing both, so.
01:03:27
okay.
01:03:28
All right.
01:03:29
Just give us a little rundown, it doesn't have to be too in depth.
01:03:31
Okay, well, Smile is about a lady that, no, she doesn't smile.
01:03:41
Everybody else does.
01:03:42
That's the problem.
01:03:44
In fact, I think she is quite depressed and she starts seeing people who do- who are doing the smiling in a psychiatric ward at a hospital.
01:03:57
But they were also depressed.
01:03:59
So it was weird to be like, my God, what are you smiling about?
01:04:03
And then you come to find out there's like a brain parasite that's affecting the people and they kill themselves and other people.
01:04:12
Yeah.
01:04:13
And then in Smile 2, she's not a psychiatric patient.
01:04:16
She's like an artist or something, like a concert person, like a singer, a singer.
01:04:20
Yeah.
01:04:23
Yes, the famous career concert person.
01:04:27
She's like a singer, dancer, somebody famous.
01:04:29
She's just a famous person.
01:04:33
And just like kind of slowly the people around her get the brain parasite for her.
01:04:37
And then Dr.
01:04:38
Taub comes in and tells her that they're out to get her and she's better run.
01:04:44
She better get out of there.
01:04:47
And she does.
01:04:49
Dr.
01:04:49
Taub being in this movie is fucking crazy.
01:04:53
Yeah, the second one, yeah.
01:04:55
From House, yeah.
01:05:00
Closer than I've ever been.
01:05:02
Pretty close.
01:05:04
Not quite though.
01:05:06
Not quite.
01:05:08
Do you know who stars in the first one?
01:05:10
Julia Fox.
01:05:12
No, I wish.
01:05:14
I don't remember.
01:05:16
Her name is Sosie Bacon.
01:05:19
Kevin's daughter.
01:05:22
Kevin Bacon and Kira Sedgwick's daughter.
01:05:27
Yeah.
01:05:30
I don't know.
01:05:31
Great.
01:05:32
It was...
01:05:34
Never mind.
01:05:36
Apologies.
01:05:38
Apologies, Miss Sedgwick.
01:05:39
It wasn't you.
01:05:40
So sorry.
01:05:42
Well, fun.
01:05:43
Yeah, I'm excited to see the second one.
01:05:45
I'm excited for you to see both and to talk about them.
01:05:49
Me too.
01:05:51
Great.
01:05:52
All right.
01:05:52
We'll see you next Tuesday.
01:05:55
Bye.
01:05:56
Bye.
