We debate our top horror movies of all time | Reviews: Faces of Death, Exit 8

WEBVTT
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:12.279
Horror podcast. I'm Todd, joined by, of course,
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.460
the one and only, it's Becca, my wife. Hi, my
00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:21.600
wife. I think we're going to do that gag every
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.480
fucking time. People are going to get sick of
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.879
it. And we're going to watch every horror movie
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.879
together, which is why we're back with another
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.500
spoiler -free speed run. I think this is number
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:35.100
seven. For this episode, we are finally going
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:38.439
to revisit The List. This isn't really much of
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.020
a game. I tried to figure out a way to score
00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:43.079
this. Who knows? Maybe when I'm editing it, I'll
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.460
come up with something stupid. But ever since
00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:49.740
we started, we have had a list on Letterboxd.
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.780
Follow us over there at Ghostbeast. And every
00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:55.479
single movie that we cover, we put it on the
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.960
list and we give it its scientifically accurate
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.479
designation. Unfortunately, now we're at like
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.819
over 180. movies on there it's gotten pretty
00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:10.200
big and who could say maybe i've gotten a little
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.519
uh little lax with some of the placements because
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.939
as that list has gotten bigger and bigger it's
00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:20.939
gotten pretty fucking messy i think every time
00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:24.180
i look at it now um it starts to make my brain
00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:27.700
hurt so i know you've been wanting to do this
00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:29.900
for a while you've been wanting to go back and
00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:32.359
see if we can clean it up a little bit i've been
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.200
opposed to that I think you realize that it does
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.560
need a little bit of cleaning up. I feel like
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.299
it defeats the science if we do that. But like
00:01:41.299 --> 00:01:44.319
it really has gotten to the point where when
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:45.939
I'm going through, I'm like, oh, yeah, it's better
00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:47.239
than this, better than this. And then I'll see
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.099
something that was just randomly thrown in the
00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:52.299
middle of the list. It's just like, why the fuck
00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:55.060
is this here? It's making it very confusing.
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.819
So we're going to do our best today. We're just
00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:00.040
going to spend some time going through starting
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.560
at number one. See if we can make this more definitive.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.640
It's also going to help because we have a little
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.139
bit of space from the movies. Sometimes it could
00:02:09.139 --> 00:02:12.060
be hard when we first see a movie or really hot
00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:14.740
on it, you know, that can fuck up our ratings.
00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:17.599
So who knows? This might actually get a little
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.400
spicy. We'll see. And then we also we watched
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.460
Faces of Death recently and Exit 8. So we're
00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:28.020
going to talk about those, do some little spoiler
00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:32.370
free reviews. I think we enjoyed both of those,
00:02:32.490 --> 00:02:35.030
but they just maybe didn't need full episodes.
00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:37.810
You know, just wanted to at least have them covered.
00:02:37.990 --> 00:02:41.750
It really helps with the top tens. We want to
00:02:41.750 --> 00:02:44.889
watch everything, but we don't want the feed
00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:48.509
to be nothing but 2026 movies. So this will help
00:02:48.509 --> 00:02:50.789
to break it up a little bit. Other than that,
00:02:50.789 --> 00:02:53.750
though, I mean, what do we got? So you are working
00:02:53.750 --> 00:02:56.189
on a comic book. I'm sure you can't talk about
00:02:56.189 --> 00:02:58.250
it. I can't talk about it just yet. No surprise.
00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:02.319
Well, let's talk about the mystery movies a little
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.479
bit. We love the mystery movies here. There was
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.719
a horror mystery movie recently that we have
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.740
discovered on Reddit. There is an insider who
00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:15.020
helps to uncover the mystery. And so when we
00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:18.960
saw that it was Ice Cream Man, we just figured,
00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:21.539
you know what? I think we can stay hope for this
00:03:21.539 --> 00:03:24.740
one. Seems like that was a good idea. Because
00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:27.919
it ended up being that, right? It was. Yeah.
00:03:28.219 --> 00:03:31.419
That's why. Everyone is talking about Ice Cream
00:03:31.419 --> 00:03:34.819
Man right now. Terrible. It's crazy because leading
00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:37.780
up to that, I wasn't very interested in that
00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:40.699
movie. Me either. And it's funny because I think
00:03:40.699 --> 00:03:43.080
before all this, I wouldn't say that I'm like
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.520
an Eli Roth hater or anything. Like, I liked
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.479
Thanksgiving. We both liked that one. I think
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.300
it's difficult because more and more I hear about
00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:57.000
Eli Roth. He seems like a terrible person. Yeah.
00:03:57.460 --> 00:04:00.580
And using AI and then trying to pass it off as
00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:03.659
not using AI. Okay. We'll get to that. That whole
00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:05.500
thing just left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm
00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:08.560
talking, this is a four ice cream man. I think
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.039
like, yeah, we've kind of come to realize he
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:16.060
might be a shitty person. I try very hard to
00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:17.899
distance, you know, the art from the artist.
00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:20.279
I know that's harder for you to do. Oh, yeah.
00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:23.180
For me, I think it kind of takes a lot for me
00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:25.819
to. Just say like, yeah, I don't want to fucking
00:04:25.819 --> 00:04:29.060
see this for like reasons outside of the quality
00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:31.500
of the movie. Because I like just seeing everything.
00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:33.959
I mean, we watched fucking Green Inferno on our
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.240
first date, you know? Well, yeah. Well, no, I
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.019
didn't really know who Eli Roth was then, you
00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:45.000
know? Had you not seen like Hostel or Cabin Fever?
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.040
I have seen Cabin Fever in high school, but I
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.079
didn't see Hostel. So I wasn't really familiar
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.680
with Eli Roth when we were making our date. That
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.319
was the only horror film that was in theaters.
00:04:56.740 --> 00:04:59.420
That's why we saw it. Yeah. But I'm just saying,
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.560
like, I wasn't a big hater. It was more that,
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.800
like, everything I saw about Ice Cream Man just
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.600
seemed completely unappealing to me. Because,
00:05:07.660 --> 00:05:09.439
like, we like Thanksgiving. That wasn't that
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.540
long ago. But that's, like, look, I love a good
00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:15.459
themed slasher, holiday slashers. Those are good.
00:05:15.579 --> 00:05:18.139
I still think that's a good one. But Ice Cream
00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:19.899
Man just felt like it was trying too hard to
00:05:19.899 --> 00:05:23.379
be, like. Edgy and gory and violent. It seemed
00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:25.420
like it had nothing else going for it. And that
00:05:25.420 --> 00:05:28.740
just doesn't really do it for me Yeah, well the
00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:32.019
posters looked like AI to me Immediately when
00:05:32.019 --> 00:05:34.779
I saw the marketing. Yeah, and I was like, I
00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:37.180
don't know about this something seems off And
00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:39.139
then of course now it comes out that he did use
00:05:39.139 --> 00:05:42.639
AI so it's like well fuck that and then you know
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.759
He supports genocide. So it's like I I don't
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.949
know it's all around it just worse and worse
00:05:49.949 --> 00:05:52.290
of a person it seems like the more i find out
00:05:52.290 --> 00:05:56.290
about him and i think i'm good i think he should
00:05:56.290 --> 00:06:00.269
stop maybe find a new career path go somewhere
00:06:00.269 --> 00:06:03.329
else i don't know yeah i think we maybe we dodged
00:06:03.329 --> 00:06:06.209
a bullet on that one um i did think it was funny
00:06:06.209 --> 00:06:09.290
yeah the next day seeing all the people who saw
00:06:09.290 --> 00:06:11.850
it at the mystery movie talking about how fucking
00:06:11.850 --> 00:06:14.990
awful it was even aside from all the controversy
00:06:14.990 --> 00:06:17.399
it just apparently i mean we haven't seen it
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.680
i don't want to like talk out of my ass no it
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.139
sounded like it was a really really awful movie
00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:24.899
but then hearing that it had full -on ai scenes
00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:26.699
and of course you have people like coming out
00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:28.620
of the woodwork to defend it and be like oh you
00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:31.319
don't know you don't know that's ai until eli
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.720
roth himself said that yes they used ai uh i
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.360
think it's like maybe no surprise if you listen
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:43.079
to us if a movie is using generative ai We're
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:44.980
just not going to see it. I think that's one
00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:47.939
of our like lines in the sand. Yeah. I am cool
00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:52.079
with being like a salty ass old man who just
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.379
will not under any circumstance watch this stuff.
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.639
I'm not interested in like, oh, maybe this is
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.420
like the future of VFX. Maybe there is going
00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:02.939
to be a time when this is much more commonplace.
00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:06.339
I'm still just not going to watch them. Yeah,
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.980
I'm good. There's so there's so many movies out
00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:11.959
there. I'm not missing out. We have two of them
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.680
coming up. The funny thing is, I think one episode
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.759
is going to come out the week before this episode.
00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:21.959
So we get to do this again. So I think next Monday,
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.680
the one that people really think it's going to
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.879
be is Buddy, which we're pretty excited about.
00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:30.560
We're big fans of Casper Kelly. I will die on
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.899
the hill that his short in VHS Halloween was
00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:37.029
the best one by far. And I'm pretty sure this
00:07:37.029 --> 00:07:39.230
is his first feature film. So I'm like excited
00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:42.009
to see what he does with that. We'll see. That
00:07:42.009 --> 00:07:44.889
one's going to be crazy turnaround. Whatever
00:07:44.889 --> 00:07:47.189
the movie is, we're going to watch it Monday.
00:07:47.629 --> 00:07:50.230
We're going to record Tuesday, edit Wednesday,
00:07:50.490 --> 00:07:53.250
put it out Thursday. So we'll see. We'll see
00:07:53.250 --> 00:07:56.750
what it is. I'm more interested in what's coming
00:07:56.750 --> 00:07:59.970
out the 24th because there's not a lot that I
00:07:59.970 --> 00:08:03.329
can think of. Maybe like It Ends. That's one
00:08:03.329 --> 00:08:06.899
people talk about a lot. Okay. That was on the
00:08:06.899 --> 00:08:09.939
Letterboxd video store. People said it was very
00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:11.939
good. I think it's some kind of cosmic horror
00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:14.819
thing. The movie we really want to see is Camp
00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:21.439
Miasma. And that is looking impossible. I don't
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.600
know why this is still happening. Yeah, it's
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.819
one of my... Of this year, it was Camp Miasma
00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:31.519
and Obsession were the two that I was really,
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.149
really pumped to see. And it looks like... camp
00:08:35.149 --> 00:08:38.610
miasma is going to be really hard to find yeah
00:08:38.610 --> 00:08:40.870
well i think i think we've got it figured out
00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:43.470
look we're big shun run heads of course we gotta
00:08:43.470 --> 00:08:45.990
see this in theaters i don't think we've seen
00:08:45.990 --> 00:08:49.190
any of their movies in theaters and i think it's
00:08:49.190 --> 00:08:51.610
mostly because we couldn't find them yeah in
00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:54.570
theaters this time yeah it's got like a super
00:08:54.570 --> 00:08:58.710
limited release right now and i think what i
00:08:58.710 --> 00:09:01.009
saw is that when it finally gets a wider release
00:09:01.009 --> 00:09:04.200
there's like two theaters that are both like
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.179
40 minutes away from us we're gonna make it happen
00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:11.019
it just sucks that it comes to this yeah especially
00:09:11.019 --> 00:09:14.419
when every theater i look at the show times and
00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:18.039
it's like 50 showings of spider -man just taking
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.340
up every single fucking theater get that shit
00:09:21.340 --> 00:09:23.759
out of here i've heard so many like we used to
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.519
go and see all these big i would like i still
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.480
like spider -man yeah i'd still i would love
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.100
to go see in theaters but now like I've seen
00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:34.399
so many instances of like just people being out
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.500
of fucking control at the movies. Look, the movie
00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:41.019
theater is not your home. Okay. It's a shared
00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:44.299
space. It's getting so much worse. I don't know
00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:47.259
what's happening. Shut up. Put your phone away.
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.720
Keep your shoes on, please. Yes, please keep
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.860
your shoes on. I don't know why in 2026, we're
00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:57.100
still having this conversation. Like keep your
00:09:57.100 --> 00:10:01.149
shoes on. That's gross. It's just I can't with
00:10:01.149 --> 00:10:04.570
that. I think people have gotten even worse since
00:10:04.570 --> 00:10:08.110
COVID. People are like way too comfortable. People
00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:09.990
need to be a little bit uncomfortable in public.
00:10:10.129 --> 00:10:13.750
We need to go back to that. And like, I want
00:10:13.750 --> 00:10:16.110
to be clear, like I'm I don't care if you bring
00:10:16.110 --> 00:10:17.950
a blanket to the theater. It gets cold in there.
00:10:18.049 --> 00:10:20.710
I totally get that. But like, keep your shoes
00:10:20.710 --> 00:10:24.450
on. I care. You need to be uncomfortable. That's
00:10:24.450 --> 00:10:27.889
too comfortable. Oh, we did. We just watched.
00:10:28.329 --> 00:10:30.970
Infinity Castle, the new Demon Slayer movie.
00:10:31.490 --> 00:10:33.389
I feel like I want to talk about that a little
00:10:33.389 --> 00:10:35.429
bit, even though it's not a horror movie. Maybe
00:10:35.429 --> 00:10:37.769
this is the place to do it. I mean, is it not
00:10:37.769 --> 00:10:41.309
like horror anime? Maybe. I don't know if I'd
00:10:41.309 --> 00:10:44.470
call it horror. I guess adjacent. It's weird.
00:10:45.169 --> 00:10:48.330
What did you think of that? What? Infinity Castle.
00:10:48.649 --> 00:10:51.350
I thought it was good. Okay. I'm ready to see
00:10:51.350 --> 00:10:54.009
the next part. I feel like with the first one.
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.299
it got to a point like towards the end where
00:10:57.299 --> 00:10:59.000
i'm like all right let's fucking go and it's
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:03.299
credits and it's like fuck okay um why did you
00:11:03.299 --> 00:11:05.539
not like it you seem more negative watching it
00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:07.399
so i was like oh i don't know if that is still
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.740
on this train okay it's good because i was tired
00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:15.100
i think i liked it too i think they're getting
00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:19.039
a little too indulgent with this series oh yeah
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.700
because like what the fuck man it's two and a
00:11:21.700 --> 00:11:26.700
half hours long there is so much filler like
00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:29.120
the pacing in that is nuts it did not need to
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.980
be two and a half fucking hours long yeah it
00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:33.600
was long and it was killing me because i've read
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.279
all of the manga manga i never listened so hey
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.580
just edit it nobody needs to know don't explain
00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:45.080
yourself just move on that one comment like five
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.879
years ago because i i know i can't pronounce
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.279
anything I don't care. It's the benefit of having
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.100
human podcasters. We make mistakes, okay? It's
00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:57.840
okay. I've read the whole story, okay? And by
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.039
the end of this, I was like, I'm pretty sure
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.639
there's a fucking lot left. I don't know if they've
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.179
said how many of these there's going to be. I
00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:08.299
feel like there has to be at least three at this
00:12:08.299 --> 00:12:12.799
point. Even just not knowing the story from the
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.799
manga, I feel like there's definitely a lot left.
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.990
Yeah. I just couldn't believe how little actually
00:12:18.990 --> 00:12:21.710
happened in this two and a half hour movie. But
00:12:21.710 --> 00:12:26.149
it followed the manga closely? Yeah. I want to
00:12:26.149 --> 00:12:30.330
say there was some stuff added. I won't get into
00:12:30.330 --> 00:12:32.250
it because I'm not 100 % sure. It's been a while.
00:12:32.789 --> 00:12:34.669
It just, I don't know. There's something about
00:12:34.669 --> 00:12:38.120
the pacing that was just too fucking much. For
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.059
something that like in the comic, it's basically
00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:43.799
just nonstop action once you get to this part.
00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:46.480
And I guess they can't just do that for a full
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.159
movie. I think you answered your question. That's
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.639
probably what's happening. I know, but it's still
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:54.000
like it just spent so much time doing very little.
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.639
I don't know. I don't want to be too much of
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.720
a hater. It just really does feel like that series
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.960
is so big at this point that they're just like,
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:02.840
we're going to do whatever the fuck we want now.
00:13:03.059 --> 00:13:04.700
I mean, it's called Infinity Castle. People are
00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:10.029
going to slurp it up. Anyway, why don't we just
00:13:10.029 --> 00:13:12.149
let's get into it. We're always wasting too much
00:13:12.149 --> 00:13:14.870
time. I'm a little scared about this because
00:13:14.870 --> 00:13:19.070
usually when we do stuff like this, I drag my
00:13:19.070 --> 00:13:22.690
computer downstairs and we connect it to our
00:13:22.690 --> 00:13:25.330
shitty ass TV or we could barely see anything.
00:13:26.169 --> 00:13:29.049
Today, we're going to try to screen record on
00:13:29.049 --> 00:13:35.299
your iPad instead. So like we always say. Something
00:13:35.299 --> 00:13:36.879
like this that is very visual because we're going
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.799
to be going through the list and moving stuff
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.639
around. We're going to try to make it as listenable
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.600
as we can if you're just audio only. But on YouTube,
00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:48.259
we're going to have a video that shows all of
00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:51.480
our shenanigans. But since we're recording on
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.820
your iPad, I'm just praying to fucking God that
00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:58.419
this works out. I don't know. I'm going to have
00:13:58.419 --> 00:14:01.980
no video. So let's we'll find out. Yeah. But
00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:04.139
I think what we're going to do, we're probably
00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:06.580
going to spend like 30, 40 minutes on this. I
00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:07.379
don't know if we're going to get through the
00:14:07.379 --> 00:14:11.279
whole list. I think we'll go through in like
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.759
blocks of five maybe and see how we feel. Okay.
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.179
And just keep going down from number one. Because
00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:20.899
I feel like we should make the top of the list
00:14:20.899 --> 00:14:25.480
as clean and accurate as possible. As it gets
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.139
further down, it doesn't matter as much. So we'll
00:14:29.139 --> 00:14:31.519
just, we'll see how far we get. But why don't
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.360
we we're going to take a quick break and then
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:40.220
we're just going to get right into it. All right.
00:14:41.059 --> 00:14:43.019
I don't think there's any easy way to do this.
00:14:43.659 --> 00:14:45.720
We're going to try our best. We're definitely
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:47.679
not going to do the whole thing. I can already
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.179
tell because we're going to do like five at a
00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:52.200
time. And there I think there's 189 movies on
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.299
here. So here's what we're going to do. I'm going
00:14:55.299 --> 00:14:59.440
to read five movies. After I read them, if there
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.879
is something in here that you think needs to
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:06.100
get moved around, say objection. And the first
00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:11.320
one to say that gets to make a move. Okay. Do
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.840
you have a better idea? Just talking through
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:20.019
it. Where is the fun in that? All right. So our
00:15:20.019 --> 00:15:22.679
top five right now, I actually feel pretty good
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:27.299
about our top five. Top five is number one. Brain
00:15:27.299 --> 00:15:33.000
Dead, aka Dead Alive, aka one of the best movies
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.500
ever made, aka my number one favorite movie.
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.120
I think that's good at number one. It's good
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.919
at number one. Number two, Alien. Number three
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.440
is The Witch. Number four is Cat People. And
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.960
number five is Black Christmas. I feel like there's
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.820
a pretty good assortment because the first two
00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:57.490
movies are like kind of I mean, obviously we
00:15:57.490 --> 00:16:01.450
both love all these movies, but Brain Dead and
00:16:01.450 --> 00:16:03.649
Alien are two that are like very dear to me.
00:16:03.690 --> 00:16:05.490
I feel like the witch and cat people are very
00:16:05.490 --> 00:16:08.970
dear to you. And then we both love Black Christmas.
00:16:09.509 --> 00:16:14.509
Do you have any problems? Oh, I do. I think I
00:16:14.509 --> 00:16:18.789
want to switch. Did I hear an objection? Objection.
00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:21.460
All right, what do we got? I think I have a couple,
00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:24.980
actually. So I think I want to move Cat People
00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:27.940
up one. I was going to ask if you felt good with
00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:29.919
The Witch at number three. I definitely want
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:36.639
to move them around. And I think I want to move
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.440
Black Christmas. Because I do love Black Christmas.
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.480
But I can see a movie peaking out that I feel
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.559
like should definitely be number five. okay well
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.139
we'll as we go through okay we'll see if we can
00:16:48.139 --> 00:16:50.779
come up with something that'll move up okay i
00:16:50.779 --> 00:16:53.820
think yeah i was actually gonna say i don't know
00:16:53.820 --> 00:16:56.799
if the witch was the number three movie no of
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:58.899
ghost beast so this does feel better we got brain
00:16:58.899 --> 00:17:02.720
dead alien then cat people then the witch then
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.819
black christmas by the way i will not suffer
00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:11.680
any insult to cat people okay Because we noticed,
00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:14.359
we got on that, we should have brought this up
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.920
in the beginning. Oh yeah, we should have. We
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.339
got on that, the bloody disgusting database that
00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:21.640
they put up. It's like, I guess they're competing
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:23.859
with Letterboxd. I don't know. I don't think
00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:26.480
I'm going to switch anytime soon, but it was
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.059
fun. It was fun to go through. And when I realized
00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:31.299
like the people, because they have a leaderboard,
00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:34.079
which is nuts. Yeah. That shit gets me going.
00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:37.579
As soon as I saw a leaderboard and I saw that.
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.740
Number one had like 700 movies logged. I was
00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:42.839
like, those are some fucking rookie numbers.
00:17:42.940 --> 00:17:45.279
Get the fuck out of here. I know I could beat
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.880
that. So I went through and once I got up to
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:51.859
like 800, it put me in first place and I was
00:17:51.859 --> 00:17:55.420
like, fuck yeah. I took a screenshot. I'm going
00:17:55.420 --> 00:17:57.240
to have to throw that in the video. Oh, yeah.
00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:59.200
Because that shit's forever. Now the first place
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.720
person has like 2 ,000 movies logged. Something
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:05.710
like that. Seems a little suspicious to me. We
00:18:05.710 --> 00:18:08.670
were number one for a bit. And yeah, wasn't it
00:18:08.670 --> 00:18:11.869
you saw cat people in there? The only other review
00:18:11.869 --> 00:18:13.950
was like two stars or one star or something.
00:18:14.150 --> 00:18:16.569
Get the fuck out of here with that. Yeah. Anyway,
00:18:16.650 --> 00:18:21.369
so that's our top five. So moving on. Number
00:18:21.369 --> 00:18:25.430
six, we got Possession. Then Suspiria. Ooh, already
00:18:25.430 --> 00:18:30.769
interesting. Then Aliens. Then I saw the TV Glow.
00:18:30.769 --> 00:18:33.750
And then number 10 is It Follows. Okay. Well,
00:18:33.829 --> 00:18:36.880
I definitely object. or objection, whatever.
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:41.960
Possession's got to go number five, I think.
00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:44.059
Oh, I thought you were going to move up Suspiria.
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.700
Oh, I'm not even there yet. But do you think
00:18:47.700 --> 00:18:50.839
Possession is above Suspiria? You know, I was
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:52.619
looking at the rating we put, and I was thinking,
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.460
like, hmm, why was it like that? This is one
00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:58.220
of those where, like, we gave Possession five
00:18:58.220 --> 00:19:01.490
stars and Suspiria four and a half. I really
00:19:01.490 --> 00:19:04.029
think it's because when we saw Possession, we
00:19:04.029 --> 00:19:06.930
were so fucking surprised by it. We were just
00:19:06.930 --> 00:19:09.730
like, where has this movie been all our lives?
00:19:09.829 --> 00:19:14.430
It made us feel crazy. Yeah. No, I think Suspiria
00:19:14.430 --> 00:19:16.490
could go above. Maybe that's number five. That
00:19:16.490 --> 00:19:21.250
does feel a little bit right, I think. That feels
00:19:21.250 --> 00:19:24.630
right to me. Now... There's definitely some...
00:19:24.630 --> 00:19:27.690
We got some... cleaned it up to do here i think
00:19:27.690 --> 00:19:32.410
i think this is pretty good so that puts so spirit
00:19:32.410 --> 00:19:35.950
five then black christmas is at six then possession
00:19:35.950 --> 00:19:38.970
then aliens then i saw the tv glow then it follows
00:19:38.970 --> 00:19:42.630
i actually feel pretty good about that what were
00:19:42.630 --> 00:19:46.190
you gonna say um was there something else you
00:19:46.190 --> 00:19:49.170
wanted to move yes there are things i want to
00:19:49.170 --> 00:19:51.549
move but at the same time it feels like you're
00:19:51.549 --> 00:19:54.279
just getting into the weeds Yeah. Well, look,
00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:58.079
this is going to be our definitive list. We need
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.460
to actually make this definitive. Just what were
00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:02.859
you thinking? Just speak about it. I think I
00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:05.980
want to move. I saw the TV go up, but at the
00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:09.559
same time, it's like it's so tough to like. Listen,
00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:13.200
that's a fantastic, fantastic movie. But like,
00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:16.500
let's let's simmer down. That's a 2024. Look,
00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.940
we got Camp Miasma coming up. That might actually
00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:22.549
go higher. So, yeah. I feel like number nine
00:20:22.549 --> 00:20:25.309
is pretty good. I could probably switch six and
00:20:25.309 --> 00:20:28.529
seven. Oh, put possession above Black Christmas?
00:20:28.910 --> 00:20:32.029
Yeah. All right. I'll give you that one. Okay.
00:20:32.430 --> 00:20:37.009
I'll build up some goodwill for my spicier takes
00:20:37.009 --> 00:20:40.009
later. I'm charging up right now. Oh, great.
00:20:40.210 --> 00:20:42.809
Okay. All right. So that's pretty good. That
00:20:42.809 --> 00:20:46.049
means our Suspiria made it to number five, possession
00:20:46.049 --> 00:20:49.210
number six, Black Christmas seven. Aliens, eight.
00:20:49.369 --> 00:20:52.009
I saw the TV glow, nine. And It Follows is ten.
00:20:52.589 --> 00:20:56.829
Let's move on. Next. All right. Now we're in
00:20:56.829 --> 00:21:02.589
11 through 15. We got Nope. We got Pearl. Then
00:21:02.589 --> 00:21:06.869
Sleepaway Camp. Interviolent Nature. And Obsession.
00:21:06.970 --> 00:21:10.130
All the way up to number 15. That's pretty spicy.
00:21:11.069 --> 00:21:14.769
I guess I'd have to see what's below it. But
00:21:14.769 --> 00:21:17.390
I think it's pretty good. I don't have any objections.
00:21:18.269 --> 00:21:21.549
I almost want to put Sleepaway Camp above Pearl,
00:21:21.890 --> 00:21:25.950
but I think this is pretty good. I think it's
00:21:25.950 --> 00:21:30.069
pretty good, too. Okay. All right. Wow. Perfect.
00:21:30.549 --> 00:21:33.369
First time. We are right on the money with these.
00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:39.789
So let's get to 16 through 20. Oh. Oh, that's
00:21:39.789 --> 00:21:44.549
tough. So we have Sinners, which we put Obsession
00:21:44.549 --> 00:21:49.809
above Spinners. We put obsession above sinners.
00:21:50.190 --> 00:21:54.609
Then we got weapons, red rooms. 28 years later,
00:21:54.930 --> 00:21:58.009
that's crazy. I think Bone Temple was better
00:21:58.009 --> 00:22:00.410
than 28 years later. Yeah, Bone Temple was better.
00:22:00.490 --> 00:22:02.329
I wonder where the fuck Bone Temple is. I don't
00:22:02.329 --> 00:22:04.190
know. We'll have to find out, I guess. And then
00:22:04.190 --> 00:22:06.609
20 is we're all going to the World's Fair. I'm
00:22:06.609 --> 00:22:09.789
just going to say real quick so people can really
00:22:09.789 --> 00:22:12.720
understand why we're doing this. That's a perfect
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:17.019
example right there of 28 years later being apparently
00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:20.079
a few spots at least above Bone Temple. Because
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.200
when I'm finding a space, I'm just going through
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:23.539
like, yeah, it's better than this, better than
00:22:23.539 --> 00:22:25.160
this, better than this. Until I find something
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.480
that like just speaks to me and feels right.
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:29.680
Because the list is too big to go through every
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.140
single fucking thing. But that's how you wind
00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:33.940
up with stuff like this where if you keep scrolling,
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:35.839
it's wait a minute. It's like, where did this
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:42.009
come from? Now, do you still think? sinners is
00:22:42.009 --> 00:22:45.670
below obsession i honestly those two i can't
00:22:45.670 --> 00:22:48.890
even like that's tough they were both so huge
00:22:48.890 --> 00:22:53.710
and we loved both so much i don't know i thought
00:22:53.710 --> 00:22:55.809
that was could be controversial but i think uh
00:22:55.809 --> 00:22:59.190
we're both feeling now what's interesting here
00:22:59.190 --> 00:23:01.690
is i think you liked weapons a lot more than
00:23:01.690 --> 00:23:05.630
i did yeah i think so i think that came out in
00:23:05.630 --> 00:23:09.480
our top 10 that year but What we've got here
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.440
currently, I can't think of a reason to put any
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.859
of those above it. See, I would probably put
00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:18.579
Bone Temple above weapons. Okay, well, we're
00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:21.460
not there yet. So where the fuck is Bone Temple?
00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:24.900
But for now, yeah, I think this is pretty solid.
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:28.400
So wait, do you leave 28 years later? Are you
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.240
going to move it down and then... Well, I think
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:35.170
it is not as good as Red Rooms. No. I think I
00:23:35.170 --> 00:23:37.549
could put it above where I'll go into the World's
00:23:37.549 --> 00:23:40.309
Fair. I love that movie, but that definitely
00:23:40.309 --> 00:23:46.210
felt like El Shombron's debut. And I still that
00:23:46.210 --> 00:23:49.809
movie like means a lot to me. I loved it. But
00:23:49.809 --> 00:23:53.869
I think like compared to I saw the TV glow and
00:23:53.869 --> 00:23:56.910
now with Camp Miasma seeming to like blow them
00:23:56.910 --> 00:23:59.650
both out of the water. I could see that one going
00:23:59.650 --> 00:24:02.029
down a little bit on the list, but we'll see.
00:24:02.190 --> 00:24:04.799
Okay. But you think this is good as it is? I
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:07.019
think it's good for now. Right. Yeah. So let's
00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:09.240
see. We're going to have to revisit 20 years
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.160
later. What the fuck? Still no Bone Temple. Oh,
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.700
that's crazy. Oh, okay. So now we got 21 through
00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:19.460
25. We got the Vortilak. We got Long Legs. Then
00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:23.359
Hocum, which is also crazy. I don't think that's
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.519
Damian McCarthy's best movie, but then we got
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.599
The Ritual and then we got X. Now, objection.
00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:33.859
Okay. I have an objection too. Fucking few. I
00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:35.859
got a few too. It's going to be interesting.
00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:38.220
We might be on the same page. I think I'm going
00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:40.500
to... I would move up the Vortilak. Yes. Quite
00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:42.599
a bit. I want to move it up quite a bit as well.
00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:47.539
I think I would put it right under weapons. I
00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:50.000
would actually put it above weapons. Well, then
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:55.319
it's going above weapons. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. The
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.859
Vortilak has definitely stuck with us. Yes, it
00:24:57.859 --> 00:25:04.779
has. So its new spot is number... 17 read number
00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:11.319
17 under sinners above weapons okay yeah i have
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.539
a few what do you got uh okay long legs has to
00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:20.799
go up i think long legs it's so funny i think
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.940
like certain movies because you you definitely
00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:28.019
like long legs more than i do and i still love
00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:31.930
long legs i just I am really obsessed with Oz
00:25:31.930 --> 00:25:35.029
Perkins' filming style. I really love it. I know.
00:25:35.250 --> 00:25:37.369
I don't know what it is about it, but it really
00:25:37.369 --> 00:25:39.990
resonates with me. I could see it going up one.
00:25:40.529 --> 00:25:42.769
Going up above We're All Going to the World's
00:25:42.769 --> 00:25:45.609
Fair. I was going to put it above 28 Years Later.
00:25:45.690 --> 00:25:48.190
Is that not for you? You know what? Since we're
00:25:48.190 --> 00:25:50.630
going to move up Bone Temple, we could do that.
00:25:50.869 --> 00:25:56.230
Okay. So that puts it... under red rooms which
00:25:56.230 --> 00:25:58.210
i think is good i think red rooms is a better
00:25:58.210 --> 00:26:01.549
like serial killer thriller story above 28 years
00:26:01.549 --> 00:26:07.589
later and then honestly okay little little tease
00:26:07.589 --> 00:26:12.670
tuck that away uh i think i'd actually move up
00:26:12.670 --> 00:26:16.250
the ritual above hokum okay yeah because the
00:26:16.250 --> 00:26:20.150
ritual feels like it is really that's this fucking
00:26:20.150 --> 00:26:23.190
thing The Ritual has really persisted as this
00:26:23.190 --> 00:26:26.970
like just fucking super, super solid, good movie.
00:26:27.069 --> 00:26:29.190
It was like awesome the first time because it's
00:26:29.190 --> 00:26:31.410
so surprising and weird. And then rewatching
00:26:31.410 --> 00:26:34.509
it was like, this still holds up so well. And
00:26:34.509 --> 00:26:39.470
Hocum, I still, I love Hocum. But you don't want
00:26:39.470 --> 00:26:42.529
to move it. I think like now that I have some
00:26:42.529 --> 00:26:45.069
distance, especially looking at his other movies,
00:26:45.269 --> 00:26:49.480
I think I'm not as hot on it. I'm still I'm pretty
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.799
hot. I'm just not like fucking blazing like I
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:57.440
was. It was very good. Yeah. What if I take the
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:01.140
ritual and put it above 20? Oh, shit. OK. Yeah.
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:05.140
Yeah. I just think the reveal of that movie is
00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:08.799
just so fucking cool. It's like so cool. It does
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.900
a lot of cool. Yeah. That's so it's below long
00:27:12.900 --> 00:27:17.950
legs above 20 years later. Now, here we go. We
00:27:17.950 --> 00:27:22.309
found Bone Temple. 26 through 30, we got the
00:27:22.309 --> 00:27:25.609
Bone Temple, Strange Darling, The Substance,
00:27:25.809 --> 00:27:30.170
Shin Godzilla, and then Godzilla Minus One, which
00:27:30.170 --> 00:27:34.549
that one, there are definitely some that I make
00:27:34.549 --> 00:27:37.750
that are specifically meant to be controversial.
00:27:38.130 --> 00:27:41.390
Okay. I know for a fact I put Shin Godzilla right
00:27:41.390 --> 00:27:44.950
above Godzilla Minus One just to fucking stick
00:27:44.950 --> 00:27:48.180
my feet in the sand. I mean, shoot. No, I don't
00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:49.759
think that's a thing. What am I trying to say?
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.819
I don't know. I'm making a stand. All right.
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:58.500
I'm sticking my feet in the sand. Ten toes down
00:27:58.500 --> 00:28:03.920
in the sand. Ten toes down. Fuck, what did they
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:08.779
say? Deadass. Deadass. Watching a lot of Love
00:28:08.779 --> 00:28:14.200
Island. Deadass. Um, I have some objections.
00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:16.420
Well, hold on. So right away, let's deal with
00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:22.460
Bone Temple. Bone Temple's, whoops. Bone Temple's
00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:30.380
definitely going up. So, I think... I see you,
00:28:30.380 --> 00:28:35.440
like, peeking. I think we're getting a little
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:39.740
crazy. I'd put it below Weapons and above Red
00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:42.589
Rooms. Okay. All right. Moved all the way up
00:28:42.589 --> 00:28:49.430
to 19? Mm -hmm. Where were we? Right here. Okay.
00:28:49.990 --> 00:28:55.190
Wait. Dang, X moved down to 26. So, what are
00:28:55.190 --> 00:29:01.529
you thinking? I need to peek up here really quickly.
00:29:01.750 --> 00:29:10.420
Okay. Just to see some things. Okay. I... personally
00:29:10.420 --> 00:29:12.700
feel like especially since we've re -watched
00:29:12.700 --> 00:29:16.660
shin godzilla i really think it should like come
00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:21.420
up maybe around here between 24 which is we're
00:29:21.420 --> 00:29:24.720
all going the world's fair and then um above
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:29.559
hokum you are my soulmate for sure i was totally
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.400
thinking like shin godzilla i know i was doing
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:35.279
this yeah i know a dickhead it deserves to be
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:40.000
much higher I just feel like Shin Godzilla is
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:45.160
like the perfect match of kaiju and horror. Like
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:47.900
they've really figured it out on this one. Yeah,
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.900
totally. So I put it below the ritual and above
00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:55.559
20 years later. Yeah. Okay. Could easily go there.
00:29:55.700 --> 00:30:04.740
Was that number 23? Yeah. So. Oops. Don't peek.
00:30:06.970 --> 00:30:10.250
these i actually feel pretty good about you know
00:30:10.250 --> 00:30:14.970
what i might move hokum down okay i think i would
00:30:14.970 --> 00:30:19.230
put hokum feels better to put it here below strange
00:30:19.230 --> 00:30:23.250
darling above the substance okay so i guess i'm
00:30:23.250 --> 00:30:25.869
gonna be a little spicy because i do feel like
00:30:25.869 --> 00:30:29.930
a substance should go above hokum all right that's
00:30:29.930 --> 00:30:31.750
it i can get down with that you want to move
00:30:31.750 --> 00:30:37.210
it yeah okay I think it's hard for Strange Darling
00:30:37.210 --> 00:30:40.369
because, again, that's another one where I really
00:30:40.369 --> 00:30:44.630
loved the filming style of it. Yeah. And the
00:30:44.630 --> 00:30:47.549
substance was great, you know, body horror. So
00:30:47.549 --> 00:30:50.750
it's hard to budge there. I think this one is
00:30:50.750 --> 00:30:53.670
interesting because we've only seen Strange Darling
00:30:53.670 --> 00:30:58.450
the one time in theaters. So that's a very interesting
00:30:58.450 --> 00:31:01.150
one because I know a lot of my rating comes from
00:31:01.150 --> 00:31:04.390
the fact that it was just so unexpected. Like,
00:31:04.390 --> 00:31:07.150
I will always pop off if something surprises
00:31:07.150 --> 00:31:09.450
the shit out of me. That's why, like, Redux Redux,
00:31:09.569 --> 00:31:13.049
we saw that recently. I think I was, like, more
00:31:13.049 --> 00:31:16.289
positive than I may have been otherwise just
00:31:16.289 --> 00:31:18.750
because, like, it felt like it came out of nowhere.
00:31:18.769 --> 00:31:22.390
It really surprised me. That gets me going. Strange
00:31:22.390 --> 00:31:24.690
Darling, I have no idea how I'd feel about it
00:31:24.690 --> 00:31:27.809
if I rewatched it. But that first viewing in
00:31:27.809 --> 00:31:29.789
the theaters was, like, fucking awesome. Oh,
00:31:29.789 --> 00:31:32.339
yeah. And I think... I might be wrong here, but
00:31:32.339 --> 00:31:35.799
was this one a mystery movie or no? No, we just
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.500
went to a weird theater where there were like
00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:41.279
all these old people. Yeah, this one was so great
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:43.539
to see in theaters. Yeah. I just remember having
00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:46.000
a really good time watching it. So you feel good?
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:49.359
Yeah. About these? Yeah. All right. I'm already
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:51.720
feeling a lot better about the list. So now we
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.579
got 31 through 35. This gets very interesting.
00:31:56.059 --> 00:31:59.640
This is very interesting. 31, we have Psycho.
00:32:00.190 --> 00:32:06.069
Then Del Toro's Frankenstein. Then Alien 3. Then
00:32:06.069 --> 00:32:08.910
Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal
00:32:08.910 --> 00:32:14.049
Person. And then Terrifier 3 at number 35. Seems
00:32:14.049 --> 00:32:16.869
very high. Yeah, I definitely have objections,
00:32:17.009 --> 00:32:20.289
but I think I'm like lost on where to start.
00:32:20.890 --> 00:32:27.910
Okay. I am wondering if Psycho can move up. Yeah,
00:32:27.910 --> 00:32:30.069
Psycho definitely needs to move up. Where would
00:32:30.069 --> 00:32:36.049
you put it? I would put Psycho maybe... Ooh,
00:32:36.170 --> 00:32:39.769
I'm going way further up than I expected. You
00:32:39.769 --> 00:32:42.950
know what? The more I look at it now, I think
00:32:42.950 --> 00:32:46.990
I moved 20 years later down a lot. You moved
00:32:46.990 --> 00:32:49.170
it down too much? No, I think I would keep moving
00:32:49.170 --> 00:32:51.869
it down. Oh, okay, yeah. I really think The Bone
00:32:51.869 --> 00:32:55.430
Temple... 20 years later, look, I love that movie.
00:32:55.509 --> 00:32:57.970
I think a lot of it was because... It had been
00:32:57.970 --> 00:33:00.509
so long and seeing it come back was like, fuck
00:33:00.509 --> 00:33:03.829
yeah. But then the Bone Temple came out and it's
00:33:03.829 --> 00:33:06.569
like better than that one in like every single
00:33:06.569 --> 00:33:11.650
way. So it really stole all its thunder. I did
00:33:11.650 --> 00:33:14.650
like 28 years ago. I liked it, but it's just
00:33:14.650 --> 00:33:23.069
like there are just so many movies. No. I tried
00:33:23.069 --> 00:33:26.089
to put it above Frankenstein. Becca did not like
00:33:26.089 --> 00:33:31.819
that. Shit, that's tricky. Okay, let's put it
00:33:31.819 --> 00:33:35.000
there for now. Right under Alien 3. Where do
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.819
you want to put Psycho? Okay, so I think Psycho
00:33:37.819 --> 00:33:43.220
could really go up quite a bit. Oh, you don't
00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:46.240
feel this way. Am I going too far? Maybe. Okay.
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:50.380
Where would you put it? Okay. Honest, I would
00:33:50.380 --> 00:33:55.779
put it probably around Weapons and Bone Temple.
00:33:56.400 --> 00:34:00.940
okay i mean it's psycho um yeah yeah but okay
00:34:00.940 --> 00:34:03.920
you know i'm willing what take it put it wherever
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:08.340
you think it should go okay there we go this
00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:12.019
could be so stupid for you to fucking because
00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:17.059
it goes really fast okay so i'm just gonna plop
00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:20.199
it there okay so right under the bone temple
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:23.300
and above red rooms yeah that does feel pretty
00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:26.849
good And I feel like Psycho and Red Rooms kind
00:34:26.849 --> 00:34:29.989
of go together nicely, too. I guess I should
00:34:29.989 --> 00:34:32.329
have said this up front, because I think there
00:34:32.329 --> 00:34:34.909
are some people who would probably hear like
00:34:34.909 --> 00:34:37.130
putting Psycho below the Bone Temple and would
00:34:37.130 --> 00:34:41.170
be losing their fucking shit. This is like, this
00:34:41.170 --> 00:34:44.369
is deeply. No, what were you saying? I just,
00:34:44.429 --> 00:34:46.329
I feel like your dad, especially, would be like,
00:34:46.349 --> 00:34:51.420
what? This list. It is, of course, completely
00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:54.980
scientific and definitive. It is also deeply,
00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:57.639
deeply personal, just like everything else on
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.820
this podcast. I think it's boring as shit to
00:35:01.820 --> 00:35:04.820
try and make some kind of objective list or to
00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:09.340
try and revere, respect. We're going to be ultra
00:35:09.340 --> 00:35:12.179
personal here. I do. But I do think that has
00:35:12.179 --> 00:35:14.619
a small factor, though. Some parts of that have
00:35:14.619 --> 00:35:17.219
a small factor. I try to ignore that. I'm flushing
00:35:17.219 --> 00:35:19.320
it from my brain. Maybe I'm misunderstanding
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:23.360
you. I'm thinking like giving it its accolades
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:27.019
for like composition and art direction. Well,
00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:30.559
no, if that's what you responded to, I'm talking
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:33.400
more about like, you know, Psycho, that's a classic.
00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:35.880
It's Alfred Hitchcock. Oh, I see what you're
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.820
saying. I'm just ignoring all of that because
00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:40.920
I think it's fucking boring. We're just going
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.219
vibes. Very personal. I feel like for me, Alfred
00:35:45.219 --> 00:35:48.380
Hitchcock is very personal. with his movies yeah
00:35:48.380 --> 00:35:51.219
they were they were some of those like comfort
00:35:51.219 --> 00:35:54.659
horror movies that i would watch so totally i
00:35:54.659 --> 00:35:57.320
think that's where some of that might be coming
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:02.780
from so a level a uh 2026 movie is above psycho
00:36:02.780 --> 00:36:07.199
tldr i if this was a personal list i would probably
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.139
keep moving it up but i feel like i'm also we
00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:15.090
do have to compromise yeah now this i think feels
00:36:15.090 --> 00:36:17.190
pretty good i know you probably want to move
00:36:17.190 --> 00:36:20.250
frankenstein up but i don't think frankenstein
00:36:20.250 --> 00:36:24.610
can beat the godzilla minus one wall um i think
00:36:24.610 --> 00:36:28.610
it could and i think it could go above uh probably
00:36:28.610 --> 00:36:32.449
maybe just under the substance and above hokum
00:36:32.449 --> 00:36:36.030
i feel like i could move easily move it up there
00:36:36.030 --> 00:36:38.769
here here's what we'll do okay here's the compromise
00:36:38.769 --> 00:36:44.480
we're gonna put Frankenstein above hokum, but
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:48.059
then we're gonna put oops Godzilla minus one
00:36:48.059 --> 00:36:54.900
above Frankenstein Okay, all right so now it
00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:57.760
moved up to number 30 it's below Godzilla minus
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:02.579
one above hokum Some of these are getting fucking
00:37:02.579 --> 00:37:06.800
bullied That's the like unintended side effect
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:08.780
is we are bullying the shit out of hokum and
00:37:08.780 --> 00:37:13.519
28 years later I feel like we could move Humanist
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.119
Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person down
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:18.800
a little bit. And it's not that I don't like
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:22.320
the movie. We'll get there. Do you think Terrifier
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.260
3 should be above it? Yeah. Okay. I will say
00:37:27.260 --> 00:37:30.380
as someone who took a little convincing to watch
00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:34.579
Terrifier, I have really enjoyed the way that
00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:37.760
it evolved, especially in the third one, just
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:41.250
because it felt way more campy. And a little
00:37:41.250 --> 00:37:45.489
less like fucking dreadful. I think Terrifier
00:37:45.489 --> 00:37:49.150
3, this is a little controversial, but I think
00:37:49.150 --> 00:37:51.409
that's my favorite one. No, I agree with you.
00:37:51.570 --> 00:37:55.010
Because I think they finally found the tone.
00:37:55.130 --> 00:37:58.389
Yeah. With that one where it's like super campy.
00:37:58.389 --> 00:38:01.630
It's like very obviously very fucking gory. It's
00:38:01.630 --> 00:38:04.710
also super inspired by Black Christmas. Yeah.
00:38:04.750 --> 00:38:07.250
And they did well executing that. But it's like
00:38:07.250 --> 00:38:10.699
it's the perfect. line of being like campy and
00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:12.679
having like a sense of humor while also being
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.739
like fucking horrifying and super gory. I know
00:38:15.739 --> 00:38:17.559
a lot of people are still scared of the Terrifier
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:19.699
movies. I recommend you can just jump in the
00:38:19.699 --> 00:38:22.159
three. Honestly, you don't need to see all these
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.699
fucking movies. Yeah, the lore is just kind of
00:38:24.699 --> 00:38:27.199
there. It's not like necessary to know. I don't
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:31.179
give a shit about the lore. All right. So now
00:38:31.179 --> 00:38:36.239
we're number 36 through 40. We got Mads. Then
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:40.159
we got Frawika. then the hunger then the love
00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:44.179
witch and number 40 is the long walk i have objections
00:38:44.179 --> 00:38:48.960
but this is also insane grouping of movies like
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:54.820
uh okay so the love witch has to go up some you
00:38:54.820 --> 00:38:57.280
think it's how far up but see this is where i'm
00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:59.860
struggling is because i don't even know where
00:38:59.860 --> 00:39:02.860
to put mads frey waka and the hunger because
00:39:02.860 --> 00:39:05.780
i also love i think frey waka could definitely
00:39:05.780 --> 00:39:09.150
go above humanist vampire seeking consenting
00:39:09.150 --> 00:39:12.030
suicidal person all right so let's start this
00:39:12.030 --> 00:39:14.010
i've already got some ideas too we're gonna start
00:39:14.010 --> 00:39:16.949
moving around froco goes above humanist vampire
00:39:16.949 --> 00:39:22.730
below terrifier three i'm gonna put mads above
00:39:22.730 --> 00:39:29.809
20 years later yeah below alien 3. yeah i feel
00:39:29.809 --> 00:39:31.809
like we're starting to build like fortifications
00:39:31.809 --> 00:39:34.630
now it's like you're gonna have trouble getting
00:39:34.630 --> 00:39:37.789
past this bad boy alien 3 is like we're gonna
00:39:37.789 --> 00:39:43.789
be holding strong i think um i would also move
00:39:43.789 --> 00:39:48.210
the hunger up a bit um oh boy now we're bullying
00:39:48.210 --> 00:39:53.869
human's vampire no we're not bullying it's the
00:39:53.869 --> 00:39:56.969
hunger i watching that was just like insane to
00:39:56.969 --> 00:39:59.769
me that i had it's taken so long to see it was
00:39:59.769 --> 00:40:03.380
just like oh my god uh it's like artistically
00:40:03.380 --> 00:40:05.739
very beautiful well hold on do you think the
00:40:05.739 --> 00:40:10.239
love which is above the hunger yes okay i'll
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:12.920
let you make that decision why you don't think
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:16.739
so i'm like 50 50 so that's fine we can move
00:40:16.739 --> 00:40:19.360
that up but this is what i'm saying move love
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:21.400
which above the hunger i don't know if i can
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:27.079
okay second guess yes i was gonna say move humanist
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.059
vampire down that's probably the easiest way
00:40:29.469 --> 00:40:31.150
Because I don't know if The Hunger is above Fravica.
00:40:31.329 --> 00:40:34.630
So you're bullying. Yeah, I'm bullying Humanist
00:40:34.630 --> 00:40:36.969
Vampire. Well, I mean, and then you have The
00:40:36.969 --> 00:40:38.789
Long Walk. So I feel like it would go below The
00:40:38.789 --> 00:40:42.449
Long Walk because I know you love that movie.
00:40:43.250 --> 00:40:47.869
Oh, man. What sucks is like we did a fucking
00:40:47.869 --> 00:40:51.250
episode on Humanist Vampire. Here's a little
00:40:51.250 --> 00:40:53.530
Ghost Beasts trivia. I think that's our worst
00:40:53.530 --> 00:40:56.510
episode we've ever done. Yeah, we were both just
00:40:56.510 --> 00:40:59.699
not feeling it that day. And I think it's got
00:40:59.699 --> 00:41:05.239
more views by like 50 ,000 on YouTube for some
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.099
reason. And I don't remember that movie super
00:41:08.099 --> 00:41:11.099
well. So that makes it really tough. We put it
00:41:11.099 --> 00:41:12.980
really high, so we must have really liked it.
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.380
I mean, I can remember parts of it and I still
00:41:15.380 --> 00:41:19.760
stand with it. I did really like it. I just am
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:23.159
seeing more movies that I would push up a bit.
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:28.199
Yeah. Then... Okay, so let's move it down then.
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:34.400
Below the long walk. What are you thinking now
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.000
for the hunger and the love witch? That's the
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:44.019
question. I would keep it there because my brain
00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:47.300
can't process having to go above all of that.
00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:51.539
Here's the compromise. Oops. I put Frolico below
00:41:51.539 --> 00:41:54.079
the hunger. So we separate the Love Witch and
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:56.880
the Hunger now. Keep them away from each other.
00:41:57.739 --> 00:42:04.159
So now 35 is Terrifier 3, then the Hunger, then
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:07.639
Frawika, then the Love Witch, and then the Long
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:10.639
Walk. Now, how do you feel about that? Because
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:11.659
I know you really love the Long Walk. I think
00:42:11.659 --> 00:42:14.920
it's good. Okay. Long Walk is a compromise. I'm
00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:18.099
fully aware. Because I was going to say, I don't
00:42:18.099 --> 00:42:20.139
know if I could put Love Witch below. Yeah, we're
00:42:20.139 --> 00:42:24.230
good. We're good. All right, number 40. Jesus,
00:42:24.449 --> 00:42:27.309
this is like, we're taking so much more time
00:42:27.309 --> 00:42:29.369
than I expected. We got to go a little bit further.
00:42:29.730 --> 00:42:32.650
I think if we get to like 50, it should be fine,
00:42:32.730 --> 00:42:35.730
right? Okay. Yeah, we could at least get 50.
00:42:35.869 --> 00:42:38.829
We'll come back to this. Yeah. But now number
00:42:38.829 --> 00:42:43.630
40 is Humous Vampire, then The Invitation, then
00:42:43.630 --> 00:42:49.309
Oddity. Okay. Then Society, and then Tales from
00:42:49.309 --> 00:42:53.739
the Hood. This one. We can fuck this up, I think.
00:42:54.099 --> 00:42:57.500
Yeah. Okay, so wait. The thing that's tricky
00:42:57.500 --> 00:43:01.860
for me. You did not like Oddity as much as I
00:43:01.860 --> 00:43:04.960
did. I liked it, but yeah, you liked it more
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:07.820
than I did. How did you feel about it compared
00:43:07.820 --> 00:43:11.440
to Hokum? I think I personally liked Hokum more.
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:19.269
Okay. Well, I'm going to do this shit. Here,
00:43:19.369 --> 00:43:21.650
this will be, here's our compromise. I'll put
00:43:21.650 --> 00:43:24.590
it above the Long Walk, below the Love Witch.
00:43:24.730 --> 00:43:27.610
I would put it actually much higher, but this
00:43:27.610 --> 00:43:35.530
is good. 39. Okay. Where's Hokum? Jesus. Did
00:43:35.530 --> 00:43:39.769
you not like Hokum as much? No, I didn't like
00:43:39.769 --> 00:43:43.469
it as much. Okay. We can move it down. Let's
00:43:43.469 --> 00:43:46.400
move it down. Do you want to switch them? No,
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:50.579
we don't need to, because I think the way you
00:43:50.579 --> 00:43:56.000
feel about it, we're going to bully Hokum. Okay,
00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:58.460
I feel good about this. Below the hunger, above
00:43:58.460 --> 00:44:01.300
Frawlika. What do you think? Well, I know you
00:44:01.300 --> 00:44:04.380
also really like Frawlika. I do too. Which one
00:44:04.380 --> 00:44:07.400
would you say? I'd put Hokum above Frawlika.
00:44:07.579 --> 00:44:11.059
Okay. That feels good. At least they're closer
00:44:11.059 --> 00:44:14.780
together. That's a good compromise. So where
00:44:14.780 --> 00:44:19.429
were we? here we just added that moved up phantasm
00:44:19.429 --> 00:44:22.610
to number 45 which that's also that feels like
00:44:22.610 --> 00:44:28.289
okay so i have some issues here um society could
00:44:28.289 --> 00:44:31.630
probably go up i agree for me start moving it
00:44:31.630 --> 00:44:39.889
okay i'm continuing to figure out where this
00:44:39.889 --> 00:44:42.590
goes this is really hard actually i think it
00:44:42.590 --> 00:44:47.059
can go pretty i would put it up higher okay This
00:44:47.059 --> 00:44:56.480
is where it gets like interesting. Yeah. I think
00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:59.059
maybe actually it's kind of nice it being right
00:44:59.059 --> 00:45:02.800
below the substance. Yeah. But it's above Godzilla
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:07.099
minus one. That got a big upgrade. That's I feel
00:45:07.099 --> 00:45:12.880
good about that. Okay. So let's go back. So now.
00:45:14.940 --> 00:45:18.039
It's so tricky because like, okay, I'm just going
00:45:18.039 --> 00:45:19.860
to do this. I think Tales from the Hood is better
00:45:19.860 --> 00:45:22.539
than The Invitation. Yeah, I think it can keep
00:45:22.539 --> 00:45:25.699
going up, honestly. I'm going to keep it below
00:45:25.699 --> 00:45:28.619
Long Walk. Okay. So it's below Long Walk, above
00:45:28.619 --> 00:45:31.519
Humanist Vampire. Then we got The Invitation.
00:45:32.900 --> 00:45:36.059
Phantasm can go up. Phantasm, that one's also
00:45:36.059 --> 00:45:40.039
tricky. Well, maybe right below Tales from the
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.179
Hood, maybe. I'd put it above. Okay. I'd actually.
00:45:50.409 --> 00:45:52.909
Whoa. That phantasm is great. Unfortunately,
00:45:53.050 --> 00:45:57.489
yesterday, Reggie passed away, which is really
00:45:57.489 --> 00:46:01.429
sad. I really fell in love with the phantasm
00:46:01.429 --> 00:46:04.989
franchise. OK, what the heck is going on over
00:46:04.989 --> 00:46:09.570
here? OK, OK. Here's where I'd put it. And yes,
00:46:09.690 --> 00:46:12.409
we should have said this up front, too. I got
00:46:12.409 --> 00:46:15.300
like write down topics or something. Reggie passed
00:46:15.300 --> 00:46:18.699
away yesterday. Very sad. He was in hospice for
00:46:18.699 --> 00:46:22.880
a while. So we knew this was coming, but it sucks.
00:46:23.099 --> 00:46:25.179
I'm still really glad they were able to make
00:46:25.179 --> 00:46:27.579
Phantasm V and bring everybody back together.
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:33.639
It feels even more profound now, almost. So that's
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:37.500
cool, but he will be missed for sure. Yeah, last
00:46:37.500 --> 00:46:40.659
fall was really special watching all those movies.
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:42.719
Yeah, it's crazy the timing, because we just
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:46.360
went through the whole thing. yeah um but i yeah
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:50.039
i i moved it up to number 25 so it's below shin
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:51.920
godzilla above we're all going to the world's
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:55.239
fair yeah i think that's good that sounds good
00:46:55.239 --> 00:47:02.960
much more scientific um i think that's pretty
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:04.760
good what do you think you want to stop there
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:08.469
or we gotta at least get to 50. oh okay Let me
00:47:08.469 --> 00:47:10.510
see. Hold on, hold on. Oh, I thought there was
00:47:10.510 --> 00:47:12.570
more down there. Are you good with these? Yeah,
00:47:12.570 --> 00:47:16.289
I'm good. Okay, then now 41 is Oddity, then The
00:47:16.289 --> 00:47:19.889
Long Walk, then Tales from the Hood, then Humanist
00:47:19.889 --> 00:47:23.849
Vampire, and then The Invitation. So now let's...
00:47:23.849 --> 00:47:28.929
Story of our life. We're not getting through
00:47:28.929 --> 00:47:30.889
nearly as much as I hoped we would, but at least
00:47:30.889 --> 00:47:33.949
we have like a solid top 50. I think getting
00:47:33.949 --> 00:47:36.650
to 50 was good. Yeah. Yeah. And we'll come back.
00:47:36.650 --> 00:47:37.690
You think we're going to be able to do this whole
00:47:37.690 --> 00:47:40.289
list? There's no way. Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:47:40.969 --> 00:47:45.809
But now, 46 through 50, we got The Boxer's Omen.
00:47:45.989 --> 00:47:50.389
We got Ganja and Hess. Then Begonia. Then The
00:47:50.389 --> 00:47:53.869
Craft. And then Messiah of Evil at number 50.
00:47:55.190 --> 00:47:59.110
What do you think? This is getting really tough,
00:47:59.309 --> 00:48:05.039
honestly. There's part of me that wants to like
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:08.320
move Begonia up a little bit. Oh, really? Yeah.
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:11.659
But at the same time. Oh, you were going to move
00:48:11.659 --> 00:48:16.940
it down. Spicy. Why were you thinking that? I
00:48:16.940 --> 00:48:19.539
think I did just really enjoy that movie. I don't
00:48:19.539 --> 00:48:22.199
know. Has it like grown for you as you've sat
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:25.659
on it? Oh, yeah. Okay. I think as I've sat on
00:48:25.659 --> 00:48:29.380
it. I don't want to say I like it less, but I'm
00:48:29.380 --> 00:48:32.139
not as excited about it as I was. Oh, I still
00:48:32.139 --> 00:48:34.300
think about that movie sometimes. I think the
00:48:34.300 --> 00:48:36.699
way that they intertwined the concept and then
00:48:36.699 --> 00:48:43.199
the ending was just really cool to me. Here,
00:48:43.380 --> 00:48:47.980
I got an idea then. So I think I would actually
00:48:47.980 --> 00:48:53.059
move Boxer's Omen above Humanist Vampire. We're
00:48:53.059 --> 00:48:55.000
going to continue to bully Humanist Vampire.
00:48:55.469 --> 00:48:57.289
That puts it below Tales from the Hood. I think
00:48:57.289 --> 00:49:00.510
I would move it up higher, but this is a compromise.
00:49:00.590 --> 00:49:03.050
I know you're not as crazy about these movies
00:49:03.050 --> 00:49:08.170
as I am. Only because animal abuse is hard. But
00:49:08.170 --> 00:49:12.289
I do enjoy watching them. Yeah, I know. I mean,
00:49:12.309 --> 00:49:13.590
if you want to move it up, you can move it up.
00:49:13.590 --> 00:49:15.570
No, I think that's a good spot. And then the
00:49:15.570 --> 00:49:17.449
other thing I was going to say, after what you
00:49:17.449 --> 00:49:21.650
just said, put Begonia above... We'll put it
00:49:21.650 --> 00:49:24.139
above The Invitation. How does that feel? Yeah,
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:27.360
that's fine. Okay. Yeah. So below Humanist Vampire,
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:28.940
I'm sick of bullying it. I want to leave it.
00:49:29.179 --> 00:49:32.719
I think I'm being too negative. So Humanist Vampire
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:36.420
is number 45, then Begonia, then The Invitation,
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.260
then Ganjin Hess, The Craft, Messiah of Evil.
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:42.579
How do you feel about this? I think it's fine.
00:49:42.820 --> 00:49:46.170
It really, like... I could maybe move Messiah
00:49:46.170 --> 00:49:48.949
of Evil up some, but... Fuck, I was just getting
00:49:48.949 --> 00:49:51.550
ready to say. Okay. Put Messiah of Evil above
00:49:51.550 --> 00:49:53.670
Ganjin House below The Invitation. What do you
00:49:53.670 --> 00:49:55.650
think? Yeah, I think that's good. Very good.
00:49:55.789 --> 00:50:01.110
I feel good. So, we got a nice top 50, I think.
00:50:01.329 --> 00:50:03.809
I feel good about this. This is off to a good
00:50:03.809 --> 00:50:09.429
start. Yeah. We only have like 150 to go. You
00:50:09.429 --> 00:50:11.469
know what's crazy is by the next time we do this,
00:50:11.469 --> 00:50:13.969
we'll have added. I know. That's part of what
00:50:13.969 --> 00:50:16.090
I was thinking. There's going to be so much shit
00:50:16.090 --> 00:50:18.369
added. It's going to fuck all this up again.
00:50:19.389 --> 00:50:22.630
I'm almost certain that there may be a movie
00:50:22.630 --> 00:50:26.889
that pushes up in here. Oh, yeah. I could see
00:50:26.889 --> 00:50:29.769
Camp Miasma, definitely. If it winds up being
00:50:29.769 --> 00:50:33.329
better than I saw the TV glow, then it's going
00:50:33.329 --> 00:50:36.769
to shoot the fuck up. We'll see. But I feel good.
00:50:37.469 --> 00:50:40.849
About this, we have a solid top 50 now. So if
00:50:40.849 --> 00:50:43.809
you don't follow us, go check us out on Letterboxd
00:50:43.809 --> 00:50:46.510
at Ghostbeast. You'll see the list in all its
00:50:46.510 --> 00:50:48.429
glory. You get to see how fucking messy it is
00:50:48.429 --> 00:50:52.969
after 50. But now one through 50. Perfect. Perfect
00:50:52.969 --> 00:50:56.710
list. We'll definitely we'll come back to this,
00:50:56.710 --> 00:50:59.909
though. Yeah. We got like a good number of things
00:50:59.909 --> 00:51:03.010
now, which is like good and bad because we got.
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.699
We have our scary tier list, which we still haven't
00:51:06.699 --> 00:51:10.260
finished. We have the decade heads, which we
00:51:10.260 --> 00:51:12.719
have a lot left on that. And now we got the list.
00:51:12.860 --> 00:51:16.079
So we got a few things that are like to be continued.
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:20.420
Yeah. Okay. Maybe. Oh, and letterbox. Well, that's
00:51:20.420 --> 00:51:22.539
like evergreen. You can always find that shit.
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:25.599
Yeah. I was thinking for October, we might go
00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:28.639
back to our scary movie tier list. Seems appropriate.
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:32.019
Okay. So maybe next month we'll go back to Shitterbox.
00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:33.920
I know that's your favorite. I love playing that.
00:51:34.059 --> 00:51:36.800
So we'll probably do that next time. But this
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:39.960
is a good start. And we're definitely going long.
00:51:40.099 --> 00:51:45.099
So why don't you stick around for our movie reviews?
00:51:45.219 --> 00:51:47.840
We're going to start with Faces of Death. And
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:50.639
then after that, we'll go to Exit 8. And you
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:56.360
get to see where they are on the list. We watched
00:51:56.360 --> 00:52:00.639
Faces of Death from 2026. directed by Daniel
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:04.679
Haber, who also directed Cam. Remember that movie?
00:52:05.460 --> 00:52:08.579
Vaguely. It's pretty good. So yeah, this is the
00:52:08.579 --> 00:52:14.619
2026 version of the 1978 movie. This is not a
00:52:14.619 --> 00:52:18.460
remake. How familiar were you with the original
00:52:18.460 --> 00:52:21.039
Face of the Death? I'd never heard of it. I thought
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:22.920
so. I've talked to a few people. I talked to
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:24.980
someone at work and none of them had heard of
00:52:24.980 --> 00:52:27.400
it, which kind of blew my mind. But maybe that
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:32.440
just means that I was maybe... Super cool underground
00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:35.559
horror fan? No, that's not what I was going for.
00:52:35.940 --> 00:52:38.239
I think it just confirms I was a little edgelord
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:41.420
when I was a teenager. Okay, yeah. Look, early
00:52:41.420 --> 00:52:45.619
2000s internet was a much scarier place, if you
00:52:45.619 --> 00:52:48.000
could believe that. But I think that's like part
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:51.880
of why when we heard about this one, we were
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:55.059
pretty reluctant to check it out. Like I know
00:52:55.059 --> 00:52:56.760
I wasn't really paying a lot of attention to
00:52:56.760 --> 00:53:01.510
it. I was expecting something that was like big
00:53:01.510 --> 00:53:04.929
time, splatterhouse, very gory, very intense.
00:53:05.530 --> 00:53:07.969
I feel like you were too, because you seemed
00:53:07.969 --> 00:53:10.550
like pretty down on watching this for a while.
00:53:10.809 --> 00:53:14.590
Well, when I first saw the poster and stuff for
00:53:14.590 --> 00:53:16.329
this movie come out, like when that came out,
00:53:16.369 --> 00:53:19.539
I was like, okay, that looks cool. And then you
00:53:19.539 --> 00:53:23.480
told me, I think, right before the movie, like
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:24.940
maybe a couple hours before the movie, we were
00:53:24.940 --> 00:53:27.460
just talking and you told me what it was about.
00:53:27.579 --> 00:53:31.219
And I was like, oh, OK. So I fucked it up. I
00:53:31.219 --> 00:53:33.159
guess that makes sense since you didn't even
00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:35.380
know about the original. That's the interesting
00:53:35.380 --> 00:53:38.679
thing. I guess it's funny how that can happen
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:43.519
when we we deliberately try not to look too much
00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:46.380
into. horror movies because we want to be surprised
00:53:46.380 --> 00:53:49.079
we don't watch a lot of trailers unless we are
00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:52.119
forced to yeah when we go to the movies never
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:55.000
saw a trailer for this and knowing what the original
00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:57.519
was i guess i just had some kind of overblown
00:53:57.519 --> 00:54:00.440
expectations and that's the funny thing is like
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:03.219
this this movie like i'm not gonna sit here and
00:54:03.219 --> 00:54:05.940
act like this was you know one of the greatest
00:54:05.940 --> 00:54:08.559
to come out this year or anything like that i
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:11.619
think my feelings are like very complicated okay
00:54:11.619 --> 00:54:17.539
about this But I was very surprised by it in
00:54:17.539 --> 00:54:21.760
like a very good way. Okay. Definitely interested
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:24.659
in talking this through because I really have
00:54:24.659 --> 00:54:27.000
no idea how you felt about this. You seemed pretty
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:30.960
positive when we were watching it. Okay. I guess
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:35.079
we'll get to it. I guess so. Yeah. I think part
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:37.719
of what surprised me, which I'm sure plenty of
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:40.599
people listening are like, fucking duh. This
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:43.619
is not. a remake of faces of death this is like
00:54:43.619 --> 00:54:48.059
a um like an extension on it well specifically
00:54:48.059 --> 00:54:51.800
it's a movie that is about faces of death it's
00:54:51.800 --> 00:54:54.340
about the original movie because the original
00:54:54.340 --> 00:54:57.820
movie exists in universe and is like a major
00:54:57.820 --> 00:55:00.179
part of the story yeah because this without like
00:55:00.179 --> 00:55:02.760
giving anything away you know this is all spoiler
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:07.659
free this is really about a serial killer who
00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:10.760
Also happens to be an influencer which by itself
00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:14.480
is like pretty interesting idea but he's specifically
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:18.019
emulating the Kills that were in the original
00:55:18.019 --> 00:55:20.199
which I guess will set up a little bit because
00:55:20.199 --> 00:55:22.760
I think especially the younger audiences might
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:26.500
not know about the original faces of death I've
00:55:26.500 --> 00:55:29.940
never seen the whole thing all the way through
00:55:29.940 --> 00:55:32.840
I definitely saw clips from it back in the day
00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:35.340
Back when I was on like rotten calm and shit
00:55:36.329 --> 00:55:37.889
Yeah, when you described it to me, I was like,
00:55:37.949 --> 00:55:40.150
oh, okay. So this is like prehistoric rotten
00:55:40.150 --> 00:55:43.489
.com. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's not even really
00:55:43.489 --> 00:55:47.329
a movie. It's like it is something that is trying
00:55:47.329 --> 00:55:51.530
to recreate all these like apothical. I'm going
00:55:51.530 --> 00:55:53.690
to look up if that's a word. It sounds like it.
00:55:53.769 --> 00:55:57.070
It's a word now. It's trying to emulate all these
00:55:57.070 --> 00:56:01.130
like wild stories of like crazy deaths and things
00:56:01.130 --> 00:56:04.650
like that. While. Hypothetical. That's not what
00:56:04.650 --> 00:56:08.119
I was. Oh, okay. Sorry. While also interspersing
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:12.539
it with real footage of like actual accidents
00:56:12.539 --> 00:56:17.340
and real people dying. And the effects were believable
00:56:17.340 --> 00:56:20.099
enough in the fake parts that I think this is
00:56:20.099 --> 00:56:22.539
one of those movies like Cannibal Holocaust where
00:56:22.539 --> 00:56:25.539
they got law enforcement involved and they had
00:56:25.539 --> 00:56:28.019
to like explain the special effects and make
00:56:28.019 --> 00:56:30.059
it clear like, no, this is not a snuff film.
00:56:30.260 --> 00:56:32.579
That was the reputation that this was a snuff
00:56:32.579 --> 00:56:36.289
film. But OK, so there is. real footage in it
00:56:36.289 --> 00:56:38.610
though there is and that's actually something
00:56:38.610 --> 00:56:40.969
i guess we could talk about real quick is like
00:56:40.969 --> 00:56:43.869
um this movie it's weird there's a part where
00:56:43.869 --> 00:56:46.449
you know they talk about the original movie because
00:56:46.449 --> 00:56:50.170
it's part of the story and they say like oh yeah
00:56:50.170 --> 00:56:52.230
everything in that they thought it was real but
00:56:52.230 --> 00:56:54.789
it's all special effects and that's not true
00:56:54.789 --> 00:56:57.730
that's not true at all like all the big scenes
00:56:57.730 --> 00:57:00.650
in that were fake but they definitely included
00:57:00.650 --> 00:57:04.130
actual footage so it's weird that they like skipped
00:57:04.130 --> 00:57:07.179
over that I think it's weird to lie about it.
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:09.360
Honestly, I think even if it's just like you're
00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:13.460
doing this for the movie, it feels dishonest.
00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:16.800
And it definitely took me out when they started
00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:18.880
showing footage because I've never seen it before.
00:57:19.039 --> 00:57:21.699
And I was like, I didn't know if I was going
00:57:21.699 --> 00:57:24.780
to be watching something real or if it was special
00:57:24.780 --> 00:57:26.760
effects. And I don't like that. It took me out.
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:32.500
That's a whole can of worms, as they say. I think
00:57:32.500 --> 00:57:34.219
the movie has a lot of interesting things to
00:57:34.219 --> 00:57:37.460
say about that. We'll definitely talk about that.
00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:40.179
But yeah, the only stuff they show in this, it's
00:57:40.179 --> 00:57:42.760
from the made up scenes that are just special
00:57:42.760 --> 00:57:45.500
effects. And that's confirmed. Oh, yeah. I think
00:57:45.500 --> 00:57:48.280
it would totally go against the themes of the
00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:52.329
movie if they did that. I do think. I think they
00:57:52.329 --> 00:57:54.690
should have been honest and said it was real
00:57:54.690 --> 00:57:57.510
and fake footage. I think it's weird. That's
00:57:57.510 --> 00:58:00.510
what's weird. Because there are a lot of people
00:58:00.510 --> 00:58:02.869
like me who have never heard of this movie. And
00:58:02.869 --> 00:58:05.489
you're just going to take that as fact. Because
00:58:05.489 --> 00:58:07.530
why wouldn't you? Well, I'm wondering if there's
00:58:07.530 --> 00:58:09.610
like context that I missed. Because I know when
00:58:09.610 --> 00:58:11.650
they said that, it made me stop for a second.
00:58:11.710 --> 00:58:13.530
Because I was like, wait, what? Like, I'm pretty
00:58:13.530 --> 00:58:16.429
sure that's not true. And it kind of threw me
00:58:16.429 --> 00:58:19.909
off for a minute. So maybe I'm like missing something
00:58:19.909 --> 00:58:22.429
in the way this was. done in the movie but that
00:58:22.429 --> 00:58:24.409
like yeah that did surprise me and people should
00:58:24.409 --> 00:58:27.170
know that yes there are real people dying in
00:58:27.170 --> 00:58:30.210
the original yeah but the movie i'll give it
00:58:30.210 --> 00:58:33.030
a lot of credit i think it's not as clever as
00:58:33.030 --> 00:58:36.369
it wants to be but it is more clever than i expected
00:58:36.369 --> 00:58:40.530
it to be because specifically it's a it's a woman
00:58:40.530 --> 00:58:45.230
played by barbie ferreira i've tried for so long
00:58:45.230 --> 00:58:47.889
not to say people's names on here because i can't
00:58:47.889 --> 00:58:52.880
pronounce But she works at this like fake TikTok
00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:56.219
as part of like the moderation crew, which like,
00:58:56.280 --> 00:58:58.880
oh, that's that's quaint. Because I highly doubt
00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:01.440
there's real people reviewing this shit, especially
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:04.340
now. Honestly, I think a lot of it is a work
00:59:04.340 --> 00:59:06.460
from home situation. I'm not sure. No, she was
00:59:06.460 --> 00:59:08.539
in office. No, no, no. I mean, in real life.
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:11.079
Oh, yeah. Well, that's see that. I don't know
00:59:11.079 --> 00:59:13.460
about that because the security aspect of that
00:59:13.460 --> 00:59:15.460
seems really crazy. I don't know. I don't know
00:59:15.460 --> 00:59:17.780
anything. I don't know either, but I've only
00:59:17.780 --> 00:59:20.360
gone off like things I've seen on TikTok, people
00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:22.880
talking about the moderation, but I don't know.
00:59:23.179 --> 00:59:26.380
Definitely seems to be. I mean, if they do exist,
00:59:26.519 --> 00:59:29.199
these are the people that are all over our fucking
00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:32.079
TikTok account because I swear, I swear to God,
00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:33.820
I'm not going to go into a whole thing about
00:59:33.820 --> 00:59:37.119
this, but I'll never forget when we posted our
00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:41.539
Thanksgiving episode on Thanksgiving and it was
00:59:41.539 --> 00:59:45.159
getting rejected over and over and over for community
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:49.429
shit. And I was losing my fucking mind going
00:59:49.429 --> 00:59:52.050
through the video, like frame by frame, like
00:59:52.050 --> 00:59:54.909
what could this be? And there was a part where
00:59:54.909 --> 00:59:57.849
a police officer is holding a gun for literally
00:59:57.849 --> 01:00:01.730
like three frames. So I took that out and then
01:00:01.730 --> 01:00:06.710
it just went right through. Like, it sucks. And
01:00:06.710 --> 01:00:08.949
that was like actually something that happened
01:00:08.949 --> 01:00:10.769
in this movie that was so interesting. There
01:00:10.769 --> 01:00:13.980
is like. She would keep getting these like instructional
01:00:13.980 --> 01:00:17.539
videos, like specifically for like feminine problems,
01:00:17.840 --> 01:00:20.900
you know, and she would reject those against,
01:00:20.980 --> 01:00:22.900
you know, community guidelines. And then she'd
01:00:22.900 --> 01:00:25.860
get some like fake horror movie. And it actually
01:00:25.860 --> 01:00:30.219
it felt very timely because her supervisor was
01:00:30.219 --> 01:00:31.920
straight up like, oh, yeah, homegrown horror
01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:34.760
stuff. That's so hot. Like, put that out there,
01:00:34.900 --> 01:00:38.099
which is how this killer's stuff winds up on
01:00:38.099 --> 01:00:40.460
the platform. But I mean, there's like there's
01:00:40.460 --> 01:00:43.260
obvious messaging there. There does seem to be
01:00:43.260 --> 01:00:47.179
something being said about, you know, extreme
01:00:47.179 --> 01:00:50.099
violence in movies with special effects versus
01:00:50.099 --> 01:00:55.039
real video of people being killed, because we've
01:00:55.039 --> 01:00:56.800
talked about that, that that's something that
01:00:56.800 --> 01:01:00.159
really bothers us. And I think there are a lot
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:02.219
of people who look at horror fans a certain way
01:01:02.219 --> 01:01:05.099
because they think, oh, we just love blood and
01:01:05.099 --> 01:01:08.000
violence and all this awful shit, not realizing
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:11.389
like. No, I can tell the difference between what's
01:01:11.389 --> 01:01:14.809
real and what's not very easily. And I can watch
01:01:14.809 --> 01:01:16.949
something like Terrifier, have a good time with
01:01:16.949 --> 01:01:19.489
those special effects. But then watching someone
01:01:19.489 --> 01:01:21.369
get hit by a car or something is fucking awful.
01:01:21.510 --> 01:01:24.389
And I never want to see that. There's such a
01:01:24.389 --> 01:01:27.269
huge line. It also plays into like, you know,
01:01:27.289 --> 01:01:31.230
I got in the horror very young. And I think that's
01:01:31.230 --> 01:01:33.909
an attitude that's changing a lot nowadays, especially.
01:01:34.230 --> 01:01:37.130
It's not the Wild West like it used to be. But
01:01:37.130 --> 01:01:40.050
like I could tell. Something was a special effect.
01:01:40.250 --> 01:01:43.250
And even though I know I opened this by talking
01:01:43.250 --> 01:01:47.650
about rotten .com and shit, that stuff like did
01:01:47.650 --> 01:01:50.670
have a much different effect on me. And I do
01:01:50.670 --> 01:01:52.789
think that's shit that like I should not have
01:01:52.789 --> 01:01:54.650
been looking at that when I was a teenager. No,
01:01:54.769 --> 01:01:57.610
of course. But I could tell the difference and
01:01:57.610 --> 01:02:00.730
it definitely affected me differently. And it's
01:02:00.730 --> 01:02:03.150
an important distinction. It's something that,
01:02:03.150 --> 01:02:05.920
yeah, they. do play with in this movie. And it's
01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:07.659
tied to the original Face of the Death. So you
01:02:07.659 --> 01:02:10.179
kind of have to address that. And it's part of
01:02:10.179 --> 01:02:12.059
the reason why when I look at that original,
01:02:12.300 --> 01:02:15.840
that shit is trash. Like that is not like that
01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:17.679
shouldn't be regarded as like a part of horror
01:02:17.679 --> 01:02:20.260
history or anything. And actually, I think it's
01:02:20.260 --> 01:02:22.639
exploitive. It goes against everything that I
01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:25.179
love about horror, which is that nobody gets
01:02:25.179 --> 01:02:28.320
hurt. Like one of the top things. And it's fucked
01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:31.300
up because I read there were families of people
01:02:31.300 --> 01:02:34.179
that were a part of that who were like, trying
01:02:34.179 --> 01:02:36.099
to keep the footage out of the movie and they
01:02:36.099 --> 01:02:38.780
were ignored. That is fucked up. That is fucked
01:02:38.780 --> 01:02:40.659
up. And honestly, I think it's even more fucked
01:02:40.659 --> 01:02:42.920
up that the movie has now ignored that history
01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:45.539
of it. Look, I'm trying not to go too hard because
01:02:45.539 --> 01:02:48.460
I'm wondering if I missed something. But yeah,
01:02:48.559 --> 01:02:52.800
that does seem like a kind of dark spot. A movie
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:56.019
that is actually like my thing when I got halfway
01:02:56.019 --> 01:02:58.019
through it came up with the genius fucking joke
01:02:58.019 --> 01:03:01.519
that this is more like Faces of Woke because
01:03:01.519 --> 01:03:05.909
the movie does feel... surprisingly woke with
01:03:05.909 --> 01:03:09.170
the subject matter and everything I mean think
01:03:09.170 --> 01:03:11.730
about like I don't I don't want to go too far
01:03:11.730 --> 01:03:15.329
in deep tale but like there are some uh dog shit
01:03:15.329 --> 01:03:19.969
ass cops in this that completely ignore the female
01:03:19.969 --> 01:03:24.650
late lead character yep in favor of a man which
01:03:24.650 --> 01:03:28.010
uh also I would say that scene was really triggering
01:03:28.010 --> 01:03:30.980
I could tell yeah it was uh i mean it's real
01:03:30.980 --> 01:03:34.679
it's very real it is very real yes speaking of
01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:38.099
this uh this dude though this movie has the stranger
01:03:38.099 --> 01:03:41.900
things freak playing the killer billy billy it
01:03:41.900 --> 01:03:45.019
took us like half of the movie yeah i think you
01:03:45.019 --> 01:03:47.360
pointed it out and i was like oh yeah that is
01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:49.539
him well the whole the whole time i'm like i
01:03:49.539 --> 01:03:54.079
know this freak like who is this guy It drove
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:56.139
me so crazy. I had to look it up. And yeah, it's
01:03:56.139 --> 01:03:58.059
like apparently you just shave off his mustache
01:03:58.059 --> 01:04:00.739
and he's like a completely new dude. I thought
01:04:00.739 --> 01:04:03.760
he was actually pretty great. Yeah, I think him
01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:06.639
and Barbie did a really good job. He's good at
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:11.099
playing that kind of freak. Like he has this
01:04:11.099 --> 01:04:14.519
like he has this like intimidating kind of cold
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:18.460
energy. You can definitely trace it back to the
01:04:18.460 --> 01:04:21.320
Stranger Things guy. But that element of it,
01:04:21.340 --> 01:04:24.139
like as a slasher. Was pretty effective. He was
01:04:24.139 --> 01:04:25.820
pretty good. You said that he was, like, the
01:04:25.820 --> 01:04:28.079
collector's son. Yeah. I don't know if you remember
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:30.440
that. Yeah, I forgot about that. That cracked
01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:34.260
me up. Because he is also, like, very fucking
01:04:34.260 --> 01:04:37.659
overpowered. Yeah. Like, he's able to... He's,
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:39.639
like, a master of disguise. He could, like, trick
01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:42.019
the cops and everything by dressing up and acting.
01:04:42.400 --> 01:04:45.019
But then he also... The way he would, like, stalk
01:04:45.019 --> 01:04:47.659
people and fuck with them and, like, is also,
01:04:47.739 --> 01:04:50.599
like, a fucking martial arts master or some shit.
01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:54.699
too overpowered he also had these like elaborate
01:04:54.699 --> 01:04:58.239
killing things that he did which is also very
01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:00.659
collector -like i mean that was uh yeah that's
01:05:00.659 --> 01:05:02.780
the whole idea is it's it's like i said it's
01:05:02.780 --> 01:05:05.219
recreating the setups from the original movie
01:05:05.219 --> 01:05:09.860
um as tiktok shorts which were popping off yeah
01:05:09.860 --> 01:05:13.900
they were it's funny i saw that like this was
01:05:13.900 --> 01:05:17.800
uh really made in 2024 okay i can't remember
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:20.420
if it was like in pre -production for a long
01:05:20.420 --> 01:05:22.260
time or if it was shot early but i know there
01:05:22.260 --> 01:05:25.679
were some decisions made oh no they shot it they
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:30.780
shot it around 2026 because in 2024 no so this
01:05:30.780 --> 01:05:33.559
was like conceived and written in 2024 i think
01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:37.659
it had a long pre -production okay because when
01:05:37.659 --> 01:05:40.780
it was first being pitched apparently they had
01:05:40.780 --> 01:05:43.760
to explain tick tock to the studios oh my god
01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:46.360
think about think about 2024 it's like not even
01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:49.099
that long ago When they were finally getting
01:05:49.099 --> 01:05:52.199
around to making this, they had to tangle with
01:05:52.199 --> 01:05:55.880
the idea that, you know, now AI is so prevalent
01:05:55.880 --> 01:05:59.400
and that would completely wreck the entire story
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:02.179
of this movie. So that's why the movie actually
01:06:02.179 --> 01:06:04.780
takes place in 2024. Because they were like,
01:06:04.840 --> 01:06:07.619
let's just not even write that shit into the
01:06:07.619 --> 01:06:10.179
story. Let's just say, no, this is two years
01:06:10.179 --> 01:06:12.599
ago. And it did make me realize, like, we are
01:06:12.599 --> 01:06:16.539
running into a whole new problem in horror where,
01:06:16.599 --> 01:06:20.659
like. But I mean, you just rolled your eyes hard
01:06:20.659 --> 01:06:22.840
as shit. I'm not even talking about that. Yeah,
01:06:22.840 --> 01:06:26.420
I'm over it. I'm not getting into that. But you
01:06:26.420 --> 01:06:29.880
think about how the cell phone was such a problem
01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:32.219
when they were writing Harmony. Because it's
01:06:32.219 --> 01:06:34.360
like, oh, there's a killer. Pull out your fucking
01:06:34.360 --> 01:06:36.500
cell phone and call the cops. So you have to
01:06:36.500 --> 01:06:37.880
come up with a reason like, oh, shit, there's
01:06:37.880 --> 01:06:41.159
no service. Or, oh, you dropped it. Or the killer
01:06:41.159 --> 01:06:43.559
took it. Like they have to write that into the
01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:47.650
movie. And I think moving forward. we're going
01:06:47.650 --> 01:06:49.710
to have to tangle with like the existence of
01:06:49.710 --> 01:06:52.969
AI. So anytime there's like internet videos or
01:06:52.969 --> 01:06:55.369
something featured in a movie, they have to have
01:06:55.369 --> 01:07:00.150
some line about AI to like write that off. Kind
01:07:00.150 --> 01:07:02.550
of sucks. But that's like, it's just weird that
01:07:02.550 --> 01:07:04.909
that's a new like cultural touchstone in horror.
01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:08.119
I would refuse to call it that. I think it's
01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:11.860
going to be like a smear. A really dirty smear
01:07:11.860 --> 01:07:16.059
on the history of film and art. It's a new thing
01:07:16.059 --> 01:07:18.519
that has to be considered. Mark my words, the
01:07:18.519 --> 01:07:20.960
bubble will pop. It's already starting to pop.
01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:25.539
It's coming. But overall, I mean, I was kind
01:07:25.539 --> 01:07:30.079
of surprised. It wasn't what I expected in a
01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:32.659
good way. And I think as a slasher, it does a
01:07:32.659 --> 01:07:34.730
pretty good job. Like maybe could have used a
01:07:34.730 --> 01:07:37.750
little more slashing, but it surprised me. I
01:07:37.750 --> 01:07:40.909
mean, how did you feel about it overall? I have
01:07:40.909 --> 01:07:44.909
mixed feelings on it. Yeah. I was triggered towards
01:07:44.909 --> 01:07:47.849
the end and that kind of like took me out for
01:07:47.849 --> 01:07:51.309
a little bit. Yeah, it was tough. Yeah. But I
01:07:51.309 --> 01:07:56.210
really liked Barbie and Dacker. I'm sorry. I
01:07:56.210 --> 01:07:57.809
don't know how to say that. You could take the
01:07:57.809 --> 01:08:00.369
heat for that one instead of me for once. I don't
01:08:00.369 --> 01:08:05.460
know. What's his last name? Montgomery. Mr. Montgomery.
01:08:06.300 --> 01:08:10.460
His performance. I think they both did really
01:08:10.460 --> 01:08:13.500
well. I would really love to see Barbie as a
01:08:13.500 --> 01:08:16.479
scream queen or something or final girl in another
01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:19.460
movie. I think she did really well. But overall,
01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:23.260
I thought the premise of this being like TikTok
01:08:23.260 --> 01:08:26.500
moderator doing like like looking through finding
01:08:26.500 --> 01:08:28.500
a serial killer. I think that whole premise is
01:08:28.500 --> 01:08:31.239
really interesting. My personal take is that.
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:34.239
they didn't need to faces of death they could
01:08:34.239 --> 01:08:37.279
have made it this their own thing inspired by
01:08:37.279 --> 01:08:39.300
this and i think it might have been a little
01:08:39.300 --> 01:08:42.539
stronger but that's me coming from not knowing
01:08:42.539 --> 01:08:45.380
what faces of death was before this i yeah i
01:08:45.380 --> 01:08:47.399
was gonna say i think the problem is just that
01:08:47.399 --> 01:08:51.239
maybe this generation and i'm not trying to act
01:08:51.239 --> 01:08:53.180
like like we're the same fucking generation but
01:08:53.180 --> 01:08:56.079
i mean like there are there are still a lot of
01:08:56.079 --> 01:08:58.779
people who don't really know about that movie
01:08:58.779 --> 01:09:01.579
i think it was like very infamous back then it
01:09:01.579 --> 01:09:04.859
has kind of fallen out of the cultural consciousness
01:09:04.859 --> 01:09:08.920
in a way that's maybe okay so yeah it is kind
01:09:08.920 --> 01:09:11.159
of it's kind of weird to hinge the story on that
01:09:11.159 --> 01:09:13.819
when uh it's probably going over a lot of people's
01:09:13.819 --> 01:09:17.380
heads maybe i mean when we record this stuff
01:09:17.380 --> 01:09:19.899
i try to not read reviews or anything until after
01:09:19.899 --> 01:09:23.560
so i met i'm curious to like see like maybe on
01:09:23.560 --> 01:09:26.659
letterboxd like what people are saying about
01:09:26.659 --> 01:09:29.800
this if people knew about faces of death like
01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:34.739
what the ratio is there yeah yeah um but why
01:09:34.739 --> 01:09:36.979
don't we let's quickly do a content warning um
01:09:36.979 --> 01:09:40.659
i think oddly enough this doesn't have like as
01:09:40.659 --> 01:09:42.880
much of a content warning as i expected it to
01:09:42.880 --> 01:09:46.319
because it is like you know it's based on that
01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:49.340
movie which is known for the extreme violence
01:09:49.340 --> 01:09:52.340
um and it's imitating these kills but i think
01:09:52.340 --> 01:09:54.750
like At the end of the day, it's actually not
01:09:54.750 --> 01:09:58.010
super graphic, I think, with the kills. Yeah,
01:09:58.130 --> 01:10:00.829
I think since they like set up the premise of
01:10:00.829 --> 01:10:03.750
it, you kind of like know what to expect gore
01:10:03.750 --> 01:10:06.229
wise. Well, even specifically, some of them are
01:10:06.229 --> 01:10:08.390
like, you know, this isn't really spoilers is
01:10:08.390 --> 01:10:12.029
early in the movie. There's a guy getting electrocuted,
01:10:12.050 --> 01:10:16.010
you know, and that's not exactly a super gory
01:10:16.010 --> 01:10:19.319
one to choose for this. So it feels like they
01:10:19.319 --> 01:10:21.600
don't go like all the way with that. Yeah. They
01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:24.239
never really feel like super dreadful either.
01:10:24.619 --> 01:10:27.239
It's just kind of. This is why I do feel like
01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:29.640
it should have been detached a little bit from
01:10:29.640 --> 01:10:31.500
Faces of Death and been its own thing. Because
01:10:31.500 --> 01:10:33.880
I don't know. Maybe they could have. Could have
01:10:33.880 --> 01:10:36.079
reframed it. Been a little more creative. I don't
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:38.640
know. I don't want to shit on it too much. There's
01:10:38.640 --> 01:10:41.100
parts of it that I did like. No, I liked it.
01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:44.460
Yeah, that's just the thing is that was our expectation
01:10:44.460 --> 01:10:46.479
going in was we thought this was going to fuck
01:10:46.479 --> 01:10:48.840
us up and be like Terrifier level is nothing
01:10:48.840 --> 01:10:52.000
like that. It's actually like pretty average
01:10:52.000 --> 01:10:55.640
for a slasher, I think. But do you want to mention
01:10:55.640 --> 01:10:58.680
the other thing that really got you? It's a really
01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:01.819
complicated thing to try to put into words or
01:11:01.819 --> 01:11:06.100
label. It's just there's a scene where this woman,
01:11:06.319 --> 01:11:09.390
the main character, she's like. clearly in distress
01:11:09.390 --> 01:11:11.689
i think she's even like covered in blood or something
01:11:11.689 --> 01:11:13.949
like she's like really stressed out and trying
01:11:13.949 --> 01:11:16.550
to tell them what's happening and they don't
01:11:16.550 --> 01:11:19.090
believe her and in fact they take her to the
01:11:19.090 --> 01:11:21.930
fucking house and that is what well that's like
01:11:21.930 --> 01:11:25.130
she gets framed as like being crazy right yeah
01:11:25.130 --> 01:11:28.529
and they immediately are like okay yeah like
01:11:28.529 --> 01:11:30.710
they don't even question it or anything like
01:11:30.710 --> 01:11:32.890
oh okay she's crazy just because they believe
01:11:32.890 --> 01:11:37.010
what he said so that part is pretty triggering
01:11:37.609 --> 01:11:40.489
uh yeah we try not to get like super specific
01:11:40.489 --> 01:11:44.170
with triggers but if it affects one of us of
01:11:44.170 --> 01:11:46.409
course we're going to talk about it so something
01:11:46.409 --> 01:11:48.109
to keep in mind if that's something you think
01:11:48.109 --> 01:11:51.510
would affect you yeah and then there's also uh
01:11:51.510 --> 01:11:55.090
grief grief is kind of like the underlying like
01:11:55.090 --> 01:11:58.229
map of this story hey that's nothing that's a
01:11:58.229 --> 01:12:01.729
lot of horror so yeah it's gonna sneak its way
01:12:01.729 --> 01:12:06.710
into everything but yeah it was um It was better
01:12:06.710 --> 01:12:09.829
than I expected. And I think what got me the
01:12:09.829 --> 01:12:11.810
most, it's like I said, as a slasher, I think
01:12:11.810 --> 01:12:14.850
it's pretty average. But I think everything it
01:12:14.850 --> 01:12:18.550
was doing with the messaging, the bigger story
01:12:18.550 --> 01:12:21.829
beats, I think it affected me personally just
01:12:21.829 --> 01:12:24.569
because I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it
01:12:24.569 --> 01:12:27.289
to go that way. And I always like when a movie
01:12:27.289 --> 01:12:28.970
can kind of surprise me, even though it's not
01:12:28.970 --> 01:12:31.609
like the most surprising thing. I think I just
01:12:31.609 --> 01:12:34.050
really did not go into it thinking that's the
01:12:34.050 --> 01:12:37.050
direction it was going to go. Yeah, I really
01:12:37.050 --> 01:12:40.729
like Charlie XCX, her part. She's like... I didn't
01:12:40.729 --> 01:12:42.989
know she was in it. Oh, yeah. Well, you know
01:12:42.989 --> 01:12:44.909
what was really good about that is like at first
01:12:44.909 --> 01:12:47.770
I was like, is that Charlie XCX? I didn't realize
01:12:47.770 --> 01:12:50.670
she was in this movie. Who is she? She's in the
01:12:50.670 --> 01:12:53.050
office. She's like the girl that's hanging out
01:12:53.050 --> 01:12:55.050
on the rooftop. And then she kind of like bullies
01:12:55.050 --> 01:12:59.510
her a little bit, I think. Okay. Yeah. But I
01:12:59.510 --> 01:13:02.510
don't know. I like seeing pop girlies coming
01:13:02.510 --> 01:13:05.829
into horror. There's a lot of that lately. So
01:13:05.829 --> 01:13:07.789
yeah, it was a fun one. But I think that's all
01:13:07.789 --> 01:13:11.609
I got. Then let's rank it. This might be kind
01:13:11.609 --> 01:13:14.409
of spicy. Okay. Let's see how you feel. Okay.
01:13:15.289 --> 01:13:19.609
I put it below VHS Halloween, but above Evil
01:13:19.609 --> 01:13:25.390
Dead Burn. Yeah, I don't know about that. Okay,
01:13:25.470 --> 01:13:30.449
okay. Almost slipped that through. I put it above
01:13:30.449 --> 01:13:33.189
Last Voyage of the Demeter, below Evil Dead Burn.
01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:36.779
So you really like this, huh? You really didn't
01:13:36.779 --> 01:13:39.500
like this? I mean, like, it was okay. We can
01:13:39.500 --> 01:13:41.659
keep it there. It's fine. You want to move it
01:13:41.659 --> 01:13:43.520
down more? No, that's okay. I don't want to,
01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:46.520
especially if you liked it. Keep it there. Oh,
01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:51.039
fuck. Hold on. I know. The list is insane. Okay,
01:13:51.119 --> 01:13:53.119
this is why we got to fix the list. And what's
01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:56.899
funny is we're recording this separately. But
01:13:56.899 --> 01:13:58.600
I think this might be in the episode where we
01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:03.510
do that. Okay. I put it above Bone Lake, below
01:14:03.510 --> 01:14:06.350
The Collection. Yeah, it should be with his daddy.
01:14:06.369 --> 01:14:09.949
That makes more sense. That puts it at number
01:14:09.949 --> 01:14:17.550
140 on our list. For now. We also watched Exit
01:14:17.550 --> 01:14:21.529
8, which was released in America in 2026, in
01:14:21.529 --> 01:14:28.189
Japan in 2025, directed by Genki Kawamura. And
01:14:28.189 --> 01:14:33.550
I saw he directed a... um drama before this but
01:14:33.550 --> 01:14:37.289
this is uh the only horror movie that uh was
01:14:37.289 --> 01:14:40.189
on his filmography i feel like this movie came
01:14:40.189 --> 01:14:43.689
out because everyone saw the back rooms and what
01:14:43.689 --> 01:14:46.170
that was doing and they were like we need that
01:14:46.170 --> 01:14:48.470
fucking liminal horror we need this shit right
01:14:48.470 --> 01:14:50.949
now because i think it only got like a limited
01:14:50.949 --> 01:14:54.029
theatrical release i think that makes sense because
01:14:54.029 --> 01:14:56.470
i i think i might have remembered looking up
01:14:56.470 --> 01:14:59.550
showtimes and it was like impossible yep but
01:14:59.550 --> 01:15:03.270
uh did you know this is based on a video game
01:15:03.270 --> 01:15:07.569
no okay did i tell you that while we were watching
01:15:07.569 --> 01:15:11.449
it no because i said are they gonna make a game
01:15:11.449 --> 01:15:16.409
of this and you're like it's already yeah so
01:15:16.409 --> 01:15:19.470
i guess we should say um i know this is based
01:15:19.470 --> 01:15:22.770
on a game i know nothing about the game at all
01:15:22.770 --> 01:15:26.069
no idea take that into account with our commentary
01:15:26.069 --> 01:15:29.619
here because i think like I mean, it did remind
01:15:29.619 --> 01:15:32.699
me of PT, which I am aware of. There's a reason
01:15:32.699 --> 01:15:35.720
why you ask that. And it's because the movie
01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:39.340
feels like a video game. Yeah. And it's so funny
01:15:39.340 --> 01:15:42.039
because what I was thinking early on, I was like,
01:15:42.100 --> 01:15:45.439
man, I wish I didn't know this was based on a
01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:47.960
game because it made it feel a little awkward.
01:15:48.060 --> 01:15:50.739
But the fact that you said that anyways means
01:15:50.739 --> 01:15:53.939
I think maybe that is just a big problem with
01:15:53.939 --> 01:15:57.869
the movie itself. Maybe. Because it's a cool
01:15:57.869 --> 01:16:00.689
concept. If you don't know what this is about,
01:16:00.949 --> 01:16:03.350
the easiest way to explain it without spoilers
01:16:03.350 --> 01:16:07.930
is you have this lead character who is just called
01:16:07.930 --> 01:16:11.350
the Lost Man. He isn't even given a name. He's
01:16:11.350 --> 01:16:13.689
going through a Japanese subway when he finds
01:16:13.689 --> 01:16:17.609
himself in these repeating hallways. And he's
01:16:17.609 --> 01:16:21.430
tasked with this rule that if there are no anomalies,
01:16:21.609 --> 01:16:24.890
he should move forward. If there is an anomaly...
01:16:25.390 --> 01:16:27.270
You go backward. I think it's the other way,
01:16:27.390 --> 01:16:30.210
isn't it? Oh, wait, no. Yeah, no, it is that
01:16:30.210 --> 01:16:32.670
way. Because it's scarier that way. Because like,
01:16:32.729 --> 01:16:34.829
fuck, I got to go back through here. Yes. And
01:16:34.829 --> 01:16:37.050
it counts up. And so when you get to exit eight,
01:16:37.130 --> 01:16:41.029
that's when you leave, I guess. I don't think
01:16:41.029 --> 01:16:42.770
any of that's a spoiler. I think that's just
01:16:42.770 --> 01:16:46.590
like the setup. And I think honestly, as a horror
01:16:46.590 --> 01:16:49.850
movie, that's a really interesting concept. You
01:16:49.850 --> 01:16:52.109
know, horror, it really thrives when you have
01:16:52.109 --> 01:16:54.609
a simple idea. You can get across like that.
01:16:55.180 --> 01:16:57.680
And I think that's like that's great. That works.
01:16:58.119 --> 01:17:02.960
But the way that it is shot, the way that I mean,
01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:04.979
the whole beginning of the movie is first person,
01:17:05.039 --> 01:17:07.779
which made it really feel like a video game.
01:17:07.880 --> 01:17:10.340
Yeah, that was kind of interesting, though. The
01:17:10.340 --> 01:17:12.340
first person gave a little bit of like a found
01:17:12.340 --> 01:17:15.319
footage esque feel to it. Yeah, it was still
01:17:15.319 --> 01:17:17.279
cool. This would have been really good as found
01:17:17.279 --> 01:17:21.380
footage. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe better. But the way
01:17:21.380 --> 01:17:25.319
that he is progressing, the way that he's looking
01:17:25.319 --> 01:17:28.079
at the details, it does feel like, oh, I kind
01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:30.279
of want to play this. This seems pretty fun.
01:17:30.420 --> 01:17:34.640
It's like a puzzle game. But it had a negative
01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:36.420
effect on me, though. It kind of took me out
01:17:36.420 --> 01:17:38.680
of it. Okay. Was that not a problem for you?
01:17:38.680 --> 01:17:41.439
I don't think it was really a problem for me.
01:17:41.500 --> 01:17:44.939
I think because I find... i find the game pt
01:17:44.939 --> 01:17:47.380
very nostalgic for some reason i find it very
01:17:47.380 --> 01:17:50.479
comforting it's really weird there's a specific
01:17:50.479 --> 01:17:53.460
playthrough that i love watching over and over
01:17:53.460 --> 01:17:57.239
which is uh it was a giant bomb at the time yeah
01:17:57.239 --> 01:18:02.899
yeah uh it's giant bomb uh vinnie and abby they
01:18:02.899 --> 01:18:06.720
did this like six scary frights or whatever what
01:18:06.720 --> 01:18:10.119
was it called i can't remember like we love re
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:14.140
-watching those and For some reason, like that
01:18:14.140 --> 01:18:17.199
is what clicked in is like, OK, it put me in
01:18:17.199 --> 01:18:20.739
a good spot with that because I love that playthrough
01:18:20.739 --> 01:18:23.479
specifically so much. I've watched it so many
01:18:23.479 --> 01:18:27.239
times. You say six crazy fights. I don't remember.
01:18:27.739 --> 01:18:31.979
I don't remember what I said. When we say six
01:18:31.979 --> 01:18:41.539
crazy fights. Six crazy fights. Six Crazy Frights
01:18:41.539 --> 01:18:45.779
is an annual tradition. It's fantastic. Maybe
01:18:45.779 --> 01:18:49.899
it took me out of... I think my problem is this
01:18:49.899 --> 01:18:54.199
had the potential to be this very strong existential
01:18:54.199 --> 01:18:57.800
horror movie that the sense of being trapped
01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:01.819
in there is very palpable and very scary. I think
01:19:01.819 --> 01:19:04.359
that was the scariest element to me because it
01:19:04.359 --> 01:19:06.659
seems like the game fucks with you. Whatever
01:19:06.659 --> 01:19:09.850
the fuck this is, fucks with you. to keep you
01:19:09.850 --> 01:19:12.649
there yeah so it's like when you right when you
01:19:12.649 --> 01:19:15.710
think you're about to get to the end it'll hit
01:19:15.710 --> 01:19:18.170
you with something tiny to fuck you up i will
01:19:18.170 --> 01:19:20.850
say this movie has really strong references because
01:19:20.850 --> 01:19:24.989
it's referencing mc escher artist that does really
01:19:24.989 --> 01:19:29.909
crazy like illusionary art where it's like looks
01:19:29.909 --> 01:19:32.050
impossible well there's even like an mc escher
01:19:32.050 --> 01:19:35.310
poster in the movie yeah It's heavily influenced
01:19:35.310 --> 01:19:37.430
by that. And, well, one, I think it might be
01:19:37.430 --> 01:19:42.630
a spoiler if I say... No, okay. That's too far.
01:19:42.869 --> 01:19:45.569
Okay. Well, I have nothing else to say then because
01:19:45.569 --> 01:19:50.989
I'll spoil it. I'm trying not to say too much
01:19:50.989 --> 01:19:53.829
about what happens. But, like, I think you were
01:19:53.829 --> 01:19:56.449
really on the money saying this could have been
01:19:56.449 --> 01:19:59.069
a great found footage movie. I think there was
01:19:59.069 --> 01:20:02.130
more potential to push the horror side of it.
01:20:02.430 --> 01:20:04.210
Because there are parts where it can get pretty
01:20:04.210 --> 01:20:08.229
intense and really frightening, but I feel like
01:20:08.229 --> 01:20:10.289
it didn't fully meet its potential. I think there
01:20:10.289 --> 01:20:15.909
also is some weird acting in it. Well, I will
01:20:15.909 --> 01:20:20.149
say you telling me that the director's last horror
01:20:20.149 --> 01:20:23.670
movie or last movie was a drama makes a lot of
01:20:23.670 --> 01:20:25.609
sense. Oh, I was getting to that. This feels
01:20:25.609 --> 01:20:29.229
a lot more like a drama than a horror, which
01:20:29.229 --> 01:20:32.529
is okay. can happen i just don't feel like it
01:20:32.529 --> 01:20:36.229
fits the tone i'm gonna say this shit was some
01:20:36.229 --> 01:20:39.109
serious dad propaganda that i did not appreciate
01:20:39.109 --> 01:20:43.869
what oh oh yeah no this is definitely like yeah
01:20:43.869 --> 01:20:46.569
there's definitely propaganda in there to like
01:20:46.569 --> 01:20:49.489
have kids like yeah and i think like that's like
01:20:49.489 --> 01:20:52.710
a thing in japan yes that's the population like
01:20:52.710 --> 01:20:54.770
also weird it's happening all around the world
01:20:54.770 --> 01:20:57.550
like shocker people don't have kids right now
01:20:57.550 --> 01:21:00.130
if you have kids that's great i'm not saying
01:21:01.130 --> 01:21:03.590
Don't come after me. Look, I'm saying it's a
01:21:03.590 --> 01:21:08.689
personal decision. When you start with the personal
01:21:08.689 --> 01:21:11.789
decision, we've gone too far. No, it's not about
01:21:11.789 --> 01:21:16.130
that. What I'm saying is like, it's okay. All
01:21:16.130 --> 01:21:18.510
I was saying is there's just this element of
01:21:18.510 --> 01:21:23.850
like melodrama, which on the one hand, the movie
01:21:23.850 --> 01:21:26.130
has an idea of what this represents. I don't
01:21:26.130 --> 01:21:29.279
want to like say too much there. about the themes
01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:32.460
but it definitely seems to be it's definitely
01:21:32.460 --> 01:21:36.340
representing something in this guy's life it's
01:21:36.340 --> 01:21:38.460
actually very similar to the back rooms the way
01:21:38.460 --> 01:21:42.539
that um what was that guy's name clark the way
01:21:42.539 --> 01:21:45.300
that clark's subconscious was being reflected
01:21:45.300 --> 01:21:47.399
in the back rooms and that's a big part of the
01:21:47.399 --> 01:21:50.699
story this is doing like a very similar thing
01:21:50.699 --> 01:21:55.079
which on its face is like it's good it's very
01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:57.939
effective But yeah, when it starts getting super
01:21:57.939 --> 01:22:01.319
melodramatic, it's like, dude, I get it. I understand
01:22:01.319 --> 01:22:04.439
what you're saying. Like, go a little too far.
01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:07.779
And I wonder if that is like, if this is one
01:22:07.779 --> 01:22:10.920
of those cultural things that if you're living
01:22:10.920 --> 01:22:14.020
in Japan, you're picking up something else from
01:22:14.020 --> 01:22:17.220
the themes. So that is interesting by itself.
01:22:17.300 --> 01:22:20.079
But like, I was just I was hoping for more horror.
01:22:20.199 --> 01:22:23.960
I think there was a lot more space for existential
01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:28.340
horror. Just ways to like really fuck with you.
01:22:28.640 --> 01:22:31.520
And I think maybe it didn't meet that potential.
01:22:32.399 --> 01:22:35.180
But overall, it was still like, it was super
01:22:35.180 --> 01:22:38.779
cool. Yeah. I definitely liked this. Yeah, I
01:22:38.779 --> 01:22:40.720
liked it too. I think I might have liked it a
01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:44.579
little bit more than you. But I definitely wasn't
01:22:44.579 --> 01:22:48.460
expecting it to be more drama focused. So that
01:22:48.460 --> 01:22:51.180
did throw me a bit. We need to get back in watching
01:22:51.180 --> 01:22:53.460
Japanese horror. We've been kind of out of the
01:22:53.460 --> 01:22:57.819
loop, I feel like. we did have uh do you remember
01:22:57.819 --> 01:23:00.399
at the end of the movie the app crashed on us
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:04.239
yes oh my god it was so annoying definitely don't
01:23:04.239 --> 01:23:07.520
want to say shit about that but like yeah at
01:23:07.520 --> 01:23:09.539
like the very end of the movie the app crashed
01:23:09.539 --> 01:23:11.640
so it just goes to black and it does it at this
01:23:11.640 --> 01:23:14.760
perfect moment it was like oh shit that's a fucking
01:23:14.760 --> 01:23:17.460
dark ass ending and then it was like oh no the
01:23:17.460 --> 01:23:19.979
app just crashed yeah the ending is also very
01:23:19.979 --> 01:23:23.420
melodramatic whatever that app keeps doing that
01:23:24.140 --> 01:23:27.539
it's like after a certain amount of time it just
01:23:27.539 --> 01:23:29.680
crashes it doesn't make any sense i think it
01:23:29.680 --> 01:23:31.420
said it ran out of memory or something in my
01:23:31.420 --> 01:23:34.100
fucking tv like what are you doing i don't know
01:23:34.100 --> 01:23:38.779
anyway um but for the content warning uh i would
01:23:38.779 --> 01:23:41.760
say like yeah the the themes like look we'll
01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:44.779
say i i was trying not to spoil this but i think
01:23:44.779 --> 01:23:46.600
it's i think it's important in the content warning
01:23:46.600 --> 01:23:51.020
sense there's a lot to do with uh abortion in
01:23:51.020 --> 01:23:53.260
this that's a big part of the the themes around
01:23:53.260 --> 01:23:57.020
this space it's a very psychological movie so
01:23:57.020 --> 01:23:59.699
you don't need to worry about things like violence
01:23:59.699 --> 01:24:01.619
like i don't remember there being any actual
01:24:01.619 --> 01:24:05.100
violence in this um that was pretty mild there's
01:24:05.100 --> 01:24:09.199
like some freaky parts but content warning for
01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:13.060
freaky parts yeah it's like i said it's all it's
01:24:13.060 --> 01:24:15.800
all psychological but the um the overarching
01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:20.399
themes about The dad propaganda versus the abortion
01:24:20.399 --> 01:24:23.640
element, that's the heaviest thing you're going
01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:26.079
to get from this. And that's just very personal.
01:24:27.380 --> 01:24:30.819
But I did enjoy this. I think it's a great concept.
01:24:30.920 --> 01:24:34.000
I love these kind of things. It reminds me of
01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:36.300
every other thing like Cube and everything. I
01:24:36.300 --> 01:24:38.779
guess I didn't even mention that most of the
01:24:38.779 --> 01:24:41.479
movie is just these hallways. You're kind of
01:24:41.479 --> 01:24:44.119
stuck in the same space. And I've said many times
01:24:44.119 --> 01:24:46.369
I like that kind of shit. when you have like
01:24:46.369 --> 01:24:48.890
this small space where everything takes place
01:24:48.890 --> 01:24:51.390
and you have to figure out how to make that interesting
01:24:51.390 --> 01:24:54.470
yeah i enjoy that too it really is almost in
01:24:54.470 --> 01:24:58.090
that cube genre like cube and meander and those
01:24:58.090 --> 01:25:00.609
kind of things because he is like going through
01:25:00.609 --> 01:25:06.329
this space that made me appreciate it well i
01:25:06.329 --> 01:25:10.250
think i think it probably was inspired by that
01:25:10.250 --> 01:25:13.029
i mean i feel like this movie like i said has
01:25:13.029 --> 01:25:15.899
a lot of strong references in it so It's cool.
01:25:16.020 --> 01:25:18.739
Yeah. Yeah, look great, too. Yeah. There's a
01:25:18.739 --> 01:25:21.300
great look to it. There's one reference I can't
01:25:21.300 --> 01:25:23.979
mention because it'll spoil it, but. Okay. Would
01:25:23.979 --> 01:25:25.960
have really loved to talk about that, actually.
01:25:26.779 --> 01:25:29.000
Why don't we, let's rank this on Letterboxd.
01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:33.039
Figured out a pretty good spot. Okay. I put it
01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:37.460
above Clown and Cornfield, below Infested. Yeah,
01:25:37.460 --> 01:25:41.779
that's good. It's number 148 on our list. So
01:25:41.779 --> 01:25:45.600
that's it for this month. Yeah. Reminder, we
01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:48.880
release these episodes last week of every month.
01:25:48.939 --> 01:25:52.760
So next one will be September. And I think we're
01:25:52.760 --> 01:25:56.279
doing Shitterbox. Oh, yeah. Nice. Yeah. Yeah.
