00:00:06.719I am your daughter.
00:00:07.200 -->
00:00:08.320I had to choose that one.
00:00:08.480 -->
00:00:08.720Yeah.
00:00:08.880 -->
00:00:09.119Yeah.
00:00:09.519 -->
00:00:10.560Well, I like that scene.
00:00:10.720 -->
00:00:10.880Yeah.
00:00:11.199 -->
00:00:12.160The seance scene.
00:00:12.400 -->
00:00:15.839I was gonna keep it longer, but then it starts with the screaming and it's like, when do you cut the screaming?
00:00:16.320 -->
00:00:16.800Yeah, yeah.
00:00:16.879 -->
00:00:17.039Yeah.
00:00:17.199 -->

00:00:50.640Today we are looking at a film suggested to us by a listener.
00:00:50.799 -->
00:00:55.439It is Alejandro Amenabar's 2001 film, The Others.
00:00:55.600 -->
00:00:58.399It scored 84% on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:00:58.560 -->
00:00:59.600Let's get into it.
00:00:59.840 -->
00:01:01.679Chad, could we get a summary, please?
00:01:01.920 -->
00:01:16.959In 1945, immediately following the end of the Second World War, a woman who lives with her two photosensitive children on her darkened old family estate in the Channel Islands becomes convinced that the home is haunted.
00:01:17.200 -->
00:01:17.439Yeah.
00:01:17.920 -->
00:01:18.239Yep.
00:01:18.480 -->
00:01:24.319There are several, and lots of them are a lot longer than that, but I think that kind of gives us the gist.
00:01:24.560 -->
00:01:26.719Yeah, and I like that it doesn't give away the twist.
00:01:26.879 -->
00:01:27.040Yeah.
00:01:27.120 -->
00:01:27.280Yeah.
00:01:27.439 -->
00:01:27.760All right.
00:01:27.840 -->
00:01:28.319Thank you.
00:01:28.480 -->
00:01:34.640Now our sinister sip for this eerie film is the ghost sip from the haunted wall.
00:01:34.959 -->
00:01:35.200Okay.
00:01:35.920 -->
00:01:36.400Cheers.
00:01:36.640 -->
00:01:37.599Cheers, everybody.
00:01:41.359 -->
00:01:42.319Oh my god.
00:01:42.719 -->
00:01:44.879I could smell it and I knew I wasn't gonna like it.
00:01:45.120 -->
00:01:46.319These are stiff ones.
00:01:46.560 -->
00:01:47.120Yeah.
00:01:47.439 -->
00:01:50.480This is whiskey, vermouth, and gin.
00:01:50.879 -->
00:01:53.120Oh man, that's double on the gin, right?
00:01:53.359 -->
00:01:54.480Like the other one was a gin.
00:01:54.560 -->
00:01:55.200This is a gin.
00:01:55.280 -->
00:01:57.120I don't know if whiskey and gin really go together.
00:01:57.359 -->
00:01:59.680Not with vermouth as the mixer.
00:02:00.799 -->
00:02:01.519I hate that.
00:02:01.680 -->
00:02:03.519If anyone wants it, it's a programs.
00:02:03.920 -->
00:02:04.079Sure.
00:02:05.280 -->
00:02:05.680There you go.
00:02:05.920 -->
00:02:07.120Let's let's split it.
00:02:07.280 -->
00:02:07.519Yeah.
00:02:07.599 -->
00:02:10.240I was like, I'm not waiting for a few drink on that.
00:02:10.560 -->
00:02:16.479I taste the whiskey first, and then afterwards the other stuff comes in, but I actually don't mind the whiskey.
00:02:16.960 -->
00:02:19.360I don't like whiskey, so it's very whiskey forward.
00:02:19.439 -->
00:02:20.800And then I like gin.
00:02:21.039 -->
00:02:23.520Oh, that's it's a sipper as well.
00:02:23.599 -->
00:02:24.879Just take little little sips.
00:02:25.039 -->
00:02:25.439Little sips.
00:02:25.680 -->
00:02:26.159And it's good.
00:02:26.319 -->
00:02:28.240I'll just keep finishing the one from the last episode.
00:02:28.719 -->
00:02:30.479That was also a little sipper.
00:02:31.280 -->
00:02:34.560Oh not wasting my calories on that yet.
00:02:34.960 -->
00:02:35.919Oh, I forgot the sugar.
00:02:36.080 -->
00:02:36.960No, just kidding.
00:02:40.479 -->
00:02:41.759No sweetness whatsoever.
00:02:43.439 -->
00:02:44.080All right.
00:02:44.560 -->
00:02:50.159Well, I'm sure this isn't the first time we've seen this film, but let's get into our first or current impressions of it.
00:02:50.400 -->
00:02:52.159Chad, what did you think of the others?
00:02:52.479 -->
00:02:57.280I have seen this film before in the theater when it came out, and I like this film a lot.
00:02:57.439 -->
00:02:58.400I thought it was good.
00:02:58.479 -->
00:02:59.280I love the twist.
00:02:59.360 -->
00:03:05.280I think Nicole Kidman is a great actress, and I like the way the kids acted with her.
00:03:05.520 -->
00:03:10.400They weren't annoying, I didn't find, and I enjoyed the story.
00:03:10.560 -->
00:03:12.800So I really enjoy this film.
00:03:13.039 -->
00:03:25.840On a second watching, I think it reminds me a little bit of Sixth Sense, where once the thing is revealed, you're just kind of sitting through a movie until if you already know what's gonna happen, then it's the payoff just isn't there.
00:03:26.000 -->
00:03:26.319Yeah.
00:03:26.479 -->
00:03:30.000So to me, it's more of a a one and done type deal.
00:03:30.080 -->
00:03:35.919Like you really don't need to revisit it more than because once you get that whole thing, then you're you're like, what?
00:03:36.240 -->
00:03:36.479Yeah.
00:03:37.039 -->
00:03:38.080But I still enjoyed it.
00:03:38.159 -->
00:03:38.879I thought it was good.
00:03:39.039 -->
00:03:40.960Obviously, not as much as I enjoyed it the first time.
00:03:41.120 -->
00:03:44.400When I watched it the first time, I remember remember being like, Oh, that was awesome.
00:03:44.639 -->
00:03:45.280Like, yeah.
00:03:45.439 -->
00:03:46.000Yeah, for sure.
00:03:46.159 -->
00:03:46.400Thanks.
00:03:46.479 -->
00:03:46.639Sam?
00:03:46.879 -->
00:03:47.039Yep.
00:03:47.199 -->
00:03:48.319I would say probably the same.
00:03:48.560 -->
00:03:49.759I I really enjoyed the movie.
00:03:49.840 -->
00:03:50.560I thought it was good.
00:03:50.719 -->
00:03:51.120Same thing.
00:03:51.199 -->
00:03:52.560Nicole Kidman was great.
00:03:52.800 -->
00:03:59.439Some things I picked out this time, um, that I that yeah, that I but I see I I didn't mind rewatching it.
00:03:59.599 -->
00:04:05.360So even though I knew the twist, I couldn't remember how it came to fruition, like how it was revealed.
00:04:06.560 -->
00:04:08.080So but I knew the twist.
00:04:08.240 -->
00:04:09.360So I knew what it was.
00:04:09.599 -->
00:04:16.240And I found similar with the Sixth Sense where I'm looking for clues to what yeah.
00:04:16.480 -->
00:04:19.680And I didn't find it as obvious as Sixth Sense was.
00:04:19.839 -->
00:04:23.360But maybe it's because I saw Sixth Sense a few times as well.
00:04:23.519 -->
00:04:25.439So I didn't find it as drawing.
00:04:25.759 -->
00:04:30.480Obviously, there's some things that you're like, okay, those people are creepy and they're pale and whatever it might be.
00:04:30.639 -->
00:04:32.879Um, but I still liked it.
00:04:32.959 -->
00:04:35.360I think it still holds up, even if you've seen it before.
00:04:35.439 -->
00:04:38.399So this is not the first time that I've watched this.
00:04:38.480 -->
00:04:47.040I've talked about it on a previous episode that the first time I watched this was at an old theater in Taiwan, and I had to drive home at night through rice patties.
00:04:47.360 -->
00:04:48.720Oh, that that was this movie.
00:04:48.879 -->
00:04:49.040Okay.
00:04:49.360 -->
00:04:49.519Yeah.
00:04:49.600 -->
00:04:53.439And this movie creeped me out so much the first time I watched it.
00:04:53.680 -->
00:04:55.920Yeah, it was just so unsettling, so unnerving.
00:04:56.079 -->
00:04:58.240And I had seen it a couple times since then.
00:04:58.399 -->
00:05:01.199And every time I still liked it, watching it again this time.
00:05:01.360 -->
00:05:07.120It was funny because like all my one-liners are the sort of like, here's the twist, foreshadowed.
00:05:07.279 -->
00:05:08.720Like it's yeah, yeah.
00:05:08.959 -->
00:05:16.399I don't think it's as obvious as Sixth Sense, but like when you're look if you're looking for the reveal, there's a lot of lines that it's like, oh, okay.
00:05:16.560 -->
00:05:18.560Oh yeah, yeah.
00:05:18.800 -->
00:05:23.040But I still liked it, even knowing the twist, I still enjoy this movie.
00:05:23.199 -->
00:05:26.800The audio in it, I'll get into that, but like, yeah, it just it pulled me in again.
00:05:26.879 -->
00:05:27.759So I quite liked it.
00:05:27.839 -->
00:05:28.480Yeah, nice.
00:05:28.560 -->
00:05:30.480Yeah, I think it would have been a good one to see in theaters.
00:05:30.560 -->
00:05:32.639So I'm jealous that you guys saw it in theaters the first time.
00:05:32.800 -->
00:05:34.000Yeah, it it's definitely a theater.
00:05:34.240 -->
00:05:37.519Like it's it's gotta be loud and yeah, like have space.
00:05:37.680 -->
00:05:38.079Yeah, yeah.
00:05:38.240 -->
00:05:40.480Yeah, it's definitely not a laptop or a cell phone movie.
00:05:42.240 -->
00:05:45.120You really need the the sound effects and stuff for it.
00:05:45.360 -->
00:05:45.920Yeah, yeah.
00:05:46.079 -->
00:05:46.879Yeah, all right.
00:05:46.959 -->
00:05:49.279Let's get into our tropes hall of shame.
00:05:49.519 -->
00:05:51.040Sam, kick us off, please.
00:05:51.360 -->
00:05:52.160Creepy house.
00:05:52.319 -->
00:05:52.800Yep, yep.
00:05:53.040 -->
00:05:55.839Doors shutting and opening and creaking.
00:05:56.000 -->
00:05:57.439Yes, those are my first two.
00:05:57.759 -->
00:05:58.800All right, thank you.
00:05:59.040 -->
00:06:03.120My first one is the hired help that shows up without explanation.
00:06:04.480 -->
00:06:05.519You see, you have some.
00:06:05.839 -->
00:06:07.120You made me think of the change language.
00:06:07.279 -->
00:06:09.920Like, I would I was waiting for them to say, like, we were sent by the agency.
00:06:10.160 -->
00:06:10.959Right, yeah.
00:06:11.199 -->
00:06:13.040Uh, and my other one is the fog.
00:06:13.439 -->
00:06:14.480Yes, so much fog.
00:06:15.519 -->
00:06:30.560So, my question, uh, I had the fog as well, but my question about that is like the fog is uh almost a character, like yeah, so I wouldn't really classify it as a trope because there is an abundance of it, but it keeps them locked in that area, right?
00:06:30.720 -->
00:06:33.279So it needs to be there to it's like a gateway.
00:06:33.439 -->
00:06:36.160Yeah, it's purposeful, it's not just like we're out on the moors at the end.
00:06:36.319 -->
00:06:41.759Yeah, because like there are times where you're in a you're in a cemetery and there's just like a shit ton of fog.
00:06:41.839 -->
00:06:42.160Yeah, yeah.
00:06:42.319 -->
00:06:43.120It's like, well, why?
00:06:43.199 -->
00:06:45.920Yeah, but this is there and it has a purpose.
00:06:46.240 -->
00:06:51.839So that's why I wasn't like sure if I would classify it as a trope because it's almost its own thing.
00:06:52.319 -->
00:06:53.600Yeah, for I I agree.
00:06:53.680 -->
00:06:54.319Yeah, good point.
00:06:54.480 -->
00:06:57.680Uh Chad, uh, so uh what tropes did you have then?
00:06:57.920 -->
00:06:59.839Well, I did have the oversized mansion.
00:06:59.920 -->
00:07:00.160Yep.
00:07:00.399 -->
00:07:03.439Like it seems I don't know why they have to be so large.
00:07:03.600 -->
00:07:07.680Like with that, with three kids in that huge estate.
00:07:07.920 -->
00:07:08.319Two kids.
00:07:08.480 -->
00:07:09.360Oh, two kids, yeah.
00:07:09.519 -->
00:07:10.000Two kids.
00:07:10.240 -->
00:07:14.160Well, so four of them, like because the husband, if he's around, right?
00:07:14.319 -->
00:07:15.439That's just massive.
00:07:15.519 -->
00:07:18.560I think and there's always a room that's covered in sheets.
00:07:19.360 -->
00:07:24.399Like, I don't know why it's just like get rid of the room or like and change it into a play pen or something.
00:07:24.560 -->
00:07:25.040I don't know.
00:07:25.600 -->
00:07:27.279Move the furniture elsewhere.
00:07:27.519 -->
00:07:28.160Yeah.
00:07:29.360 -->
00:07:30.480Those were my two.
00:07:30.560 -->
00:07:31.120All right, thank you.
00:07:31.279 -->
00:07:32.240Sam, did you have some others?
00:07:32.399 -->
00:07:32.959Yeah, I did.
00:07:33.040 -->
00:07:35.439Uh sneaking out of the house, hanging onto a drain pipe.
00:07:35.600 -->
00:07:35.759Yep.
00:07:35.839 -->
00:07:36.160Oh, yeah.
00:07:36.639 -->
00:07:39.120Seems specific, but it happens in every spooky hole.
00:07:39.279 -->
00:07:40.079It does, yeah.
00:07:40.399 -->
00:07:42.639And then the kids see something and they're not believed.
00:07:42.800 -->
00:07:43.040Right.
00:07:43.199 -->
00:07:43.439Okay.
00:07:43.600 -->
00:07:43.839Yeah.
00:07:44.079 -->
00:07:44.480Thank you.
00:07:44.639 -->
00:07:47.279I also had a piano plays, but no one is there.
00:07:48.079 -->
00:07:48.240Yep.
00:07:48.399 -->
00:07:49.680And then Chad, did you have any others?
00:07:49.759 -->
00:07:50.240No, I'm done.
00:07:50.399 -->
00:07:50.800All right, Sam.
00:07:51.439 -->
00:07:52.720I just had the seance.
00:07:52.879 -->
00:07:53.040Yeah.
00:07:53.120 -->
00:07:53.279Yeah.
00:07:53.439 -->
00:07:54.079That's my last one.
00:07:54.240 -->
00:07:55.120Oh, I guess, yeah.
00:07:55.279 -->
00:07:58.079There's always a seance in a ghost dome, it seems.
00:07:58.319 -->
00:07:58.720All right.
00:07:58.879 -->
00:07:59.279Thank you.
00:07:59.360 -->
00:08:03.759We're gonna get into the don't go back in the house and what could have prevented them going through this.
00:08:03.920 -->
00:08:05.439And I didn't have one.
00:08:05.519 -->
00:08:09.600I put I just said like my don't go back in the house comment is I don't die?
00:08:09.680 -->
00:08:10.079I don't know.
00:08:10.240 -->
00:08:10.879Yeah.
00:08:12.000 -->
00:08:15.519It would have been pre her going crazy, right?
00:08:15.680 -->
00:08:16.000Yeah.
00:08:16.160 -->
00:08:18.160So you would have to like get therapy.
00:08:18.560 -->
00:08:21.040Deal with the grief of your dead husband better.
00:08:21.439 -->
00:08:22.639Yes, I don't know.
00:08:22.800 -->
00:08:23.040Yeah.
00:08:23.199 -->
00:08:23.360Yeah.
00:08:23.600 -->
00:08:25.839Chad, is is that your don't go back in the house?
00:08:26.079 -->
00:08:33.919Yeah, like I didn't know what to what to put because they're already dead and they're in this thing, and I I was like, like, how do you prevent that?
00:08:34.080 -->
00:08:36.720She went crazy and yeah and did this to her kids.
00:08:36.799 -->
00:08:40.399So I guess it would be, yeah, pre-madness.
00:08:40.799 -->
00:08:42.639Go go seek help.
00:08:42.799 -->
00:08:44.960Like get the doctor, talk to somebody.
00:08:45.039 -->
00:08:46.879I I guess that's all I got.
00:08:46.960 -->
00:08:47.200Yeah.
00:08:47.440 -->
00:08:48.559I I don't really have much.
00:08:48.799 -->
00:08:49.919Yeah, no, it's it was a tough one.
00:08:50.080 -->
00:08:50.639Sam, did you?
00:08:50.960 -->
00:08:52.399I just said don't murder your children.
00:08:52.639 -->
00:08:52.799Yeah.
00:08:55.039 -->
00:08:56.240That's her PSA today.
00:08:56.960 -->
00:08:58.080Lock up the pillows.
00:09:00.639 -->
00:09:02.960Everything else is locked in the house.
00:09:06.399 -->
00:09:07.039All right.
00:09:07.279 -->
00:09:08.240Thank you for that.
00:09:08.320 -->
00:09:10.320Uh let's get into our one-liners.
00:09:10.399 -->
00:09:12.159What stuck out from the film for you, Chad?
00:09:12.399 -->
00:09:21.120I had when she asks the daughter, it was like she's on her like three days of punishment reading the Bible or whatever.
00:09:21.440 -->
00:09:30.159And she comes in there and and Nicole Kidman's character is questioning the daughter, and she's like, I told you there was someone in the house and you punished me.
00:09:30.240 -->
00:09:31.440Now I don't know what to say.
00:09:33.279 -->
00:09:35.039She was a great sassy daughter.
00:09:35.279 -->
00:09:35.919She was, yeah.
00:09:36.240 -->
00:09:37.039I really liked her.
00:09:37.120 -->
00:09:38.879I even put there, I really like the daughter.
00:09:38.960 -->
00:09:39.200Yeah.
00:09:39.360 -->
00:09:41.519And then I said, I like this line.
00:09:41.840 -->
00:09:45.200Uh she says all this stuff about ghosts is rubbish.
00:09:45.360 -->
00:09:48.080And then she expects us to believe everything in the Bible.
00:09:48.399 -->
00:09:48.879Oh, yes.
00:09:48.960 -->
00:09:50.879That I think that might have been my test of time.
00:09:51.120 -->
00:09:51.440Oh.
00:09:52.480 -->
00:09:53.039Sorry.
00:09:53.200 -->
00:09:53.840No, no, no.
00:09:54.159 -->
00:09:56.159I was just like, I love that, like pointing out the irony.
00:09:56.320 -->
00:09:56.559Yeah.
00:09:56.799 -->
00:09:58.320Anne was great for questioning that.
00:09:58.399 -->
00:09:59.840Uh, Sam, what lines did you have?
00:10:00.159 -->
00:10:04.720I had when the husband comes back, uh, Charles, and she goes, Charles, you look so different.
00:10:04.799 -->
00:10:06.720And then he just says, Sometimes I bleed.
00:10:06.879 -->
00:10:12.240And it just like the line delivery on that, and just how yeah, yeah, sad it is.
00:10:12.879 -->
00:10:20.559And then I also had the like when Grace admits to what she did, like her delivery of that, and like how she's like looking off into the distance.
00:10:20.639 -->
00:10:22.240I could read the whole thing, but it's kind of long.
00:10:22.399 -->
00:10:22.639Right.
00:10:22.799 -->
00:10:33.600Um, but when she is she just starts with like, at first I couldn't understand what the pillows were doing in my hands, and then it just goes on, and the the delivery was awesome, the way she says it, the camera, everything about that.
00:10:34.080 -->
00:10:35.600Holding the two children, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:35.919 -->
00:10:38.720As she's explaining what she did to them, and yeah, oh yeah.
00:10:39.039 -->
00:10:39.440So good.
00:10:39.679 -->
00:10:40.399That's true, yeah.
00:10:40.639 -->
00:10:44.240I had silence is something we prize very highly in the house.
00:10:44.399 -->
00:10:44.799Oh, yeah.
00:10:44.960 -->
00:10:49.440Just there's a lot of good lines, and then the main housekeeper, I don't remember her name.
00:10:49.600 -->
00:10:50.720Oh, the the woman.
00:10:50.879 -->
00:10:51.360The woman.
00:10:51.519 -->
00:10:56.240Yeah, that's um Miss Mills says the only thing that moves here is the light.
00:10:56.399 -->
00:10:57.120Oh, I had that one.
00:10:57.519 -->
00:10:58.159I had that one, too.
00:10:58.480 -->
00:10:59.840Because nobody else is moving.
00:11:00.159 -->
00:11:01.120Yeah, yeah.
00:11:01.360 -->
00:11:04.399Uh Chad, what's another couple lines you had?
00:11:04.639 -->
00:11:06.720I had doves are anything but holy.
00:11:06.960 -->
00:11:08.080They poop on our windows.
00:11:08.320 -->
00:11:08.879That was my laugh.
00:11:10.399 -->
00:11:13.039Just the way you said, they poop on our windows.
00:11:14.879 -->
00:11:21.679Then I had I think sometimes the world of the living gets mixed up with the world of the dead.
00:11:21.919 -->
00:11:22.080Yeah.
00:11:22.320 -->
00:11:23.600Yeah, that was a good one too.
00:11:23.759 -->
00:11:28.000I also had Anne saying, like, she won't stop until she kills us.
00:11:28.240 -->
00:11:28.399Yeah.
00:11:28.559 -->
00:11:28.799Right?
00:11:28.879 -->
00:11:28.960Yeah.
00:11:29.519 -->
00:11:30.240That's what happened.
00:11:30.399 -->
00:11:35.360And then I just liked, I think it's when she's closing the curtains, but I'm not 100% sure.
00:11:35.440 -->
00:11:37.360But she's my name's Anne, and I'm walking.
00:11:37.519 -->
00:11:39.120I'm walking, and my name's Anne.
00:11:39.279 -->
00:11:42.960Like a scared child just talking to themselves to calm down.
00:11:43.360 -->
00:11:45.120Like, say something, but what do you want me to say?
00:11:45.279 -->
00:11:46.480And then she goes into that.
00:11:46.559 -->
00:11:46.799Yeah.
00:11:47.120 -->
00:11:47.279Yeah.
00:11:47.440 -->
00:11:48.799Uh Chad, any others?
00:11:49.039 -->
00:11:53.039I love the fact that they bring up, but they don't really address it.
00:11:53.120 -->
00:11:54.960But when they always say that day.
00:11:55.200 -->
00:11:55.519Yes.
00:11:55.759 -->
00:12:02.240Like when it when that day happened or when mom did that day, or what or whatever.
00:12:02.320 -->
00:12:09.440But they bring it up lots, and then throughout the movie, you don't know what that day was until the end and it's revealed.
00:12:09.519 -->
00:12:10.480So I really like that.
00:12:10.639 -->
00:12:12.559Yeah, the hints of like what the fuck happened.
00:12:12.879 -->
00:12:13.120Yeah.
00:12:13.200 -->
00:12:13.519Yeah.
00:12:13.679 -->
00:12:14.879So and and that's it.
00:12:14.960 -->
00:12:15.440That's all I have.
00:12:15.600 -->
00:12:19.440And that segues well to my last one where it's again Anne's delivery.
00:12:19.519 -->
00:12:20.240She was so good.
00:12:20.960 -->
00:12:22.960But she's just like, Mommy went mad.
00:12:23.200 -->
00:12:23.519Yes.
00:12:24.639 -->
00:12:25.600So so well done.
00:12:25.759 -->
00:12:26.080Yeah.
00:12:26.480 -->
00:12:26.799All right.
00:12:26.960 -->
00:12:31.440Well, we we've all said we like this film, but some things did not hold up for Sam.
00:12:32.320 -->
00:12:34.159I I wrote, okay, I wrote two.
00:12:34.320 -->
00:12:35.200And then Sam.
00:12:35.600 -->
00:12:37.039Well, Chad and I both had none.
00:12:37.120 -->
00:12:37.279Yeah.
00:12:37.759 -->
00:12:38.720Sam, what didn't hold up for you?
00:12:38.879 -->
00:12:39.919Um, so I said I had two.
00:12:40.000 -->
00:12:40.879I actually only have one.
00:12:41.039 -->
00:12:41.200Okay.
00:12:41.440 -->
00:12:51.200And it's really silly, but when the two kids are out in the house or out of the house and Nicole Kidman's looking for them and she yells children instead of their names.
00:12:51.279 -->
00:12:52.240It's just so stupid.
00:12:52.399 -->
00:12:54.799Like I would never be like, children, come in.
00:12:55.120 -->
00:12:55.759Like, you know what I mean?
00:12:55.840 -->
00:12:57.759I don't know if it's somebody help the children.
00:12:57.919 -->
00:12:58.080Yeah.
00:12:58.960 -->
00:13:00.000Children, children.
00:13:00.159 -->
00:13:01.600And it's like you would yell their names.
00:13:01.840 -->
00:13:02.639Why would you be like, Anne?
00:13:03.919 -->
00:13:04.960Yeah, it's just so weird.
00:13:05.039 -->
00:13:08.559And that's like what you would call like a group of kids that you don't know.
00:13:08.799 -->
00:13:11.759Like you would be screaming, you'd be like, Anne, Anne, right?
00:13:11.919 -->
00:13:13.600Like you wouldn't children.
00:13:13.919 -->
00:13:16.480Is it a posh British thing where like the parents are removed?
00:13:16.559 -->
00:13:17.919But she was not a removed parent.
00:13:18.240 -->
00:13:20.080No, she stayed at home with them entirely.
00:13:20.399 -->
00:13:20.960She was locked.
00:13:21.360 -->
00:13:24.240So for me, that didn't hold up, like just because it's like, yeah.
00:13:24.320 -->
00:13:27.120I like the nanny could say, children, come with me, kind of thing.
00:13:27.200 -->
00:13:29.039But she was like with her kids all the time.
00:13:29.279 -->
00:13:30.480She would have yelled her kids' names.
00:13:30.559 -->
00:13:30.720Yeah.
00:13:30.879 -->
00:13:31.279All right.
00:13:31.519 -->
00:13:31.840That's it.
00:13:32.000 -->
00:13:32.240I think.
00:13:32.480 -->
00:13:32.559Okay.
00:13:32.799 -->
00:13:32.960Yeah.
00:13:33.039 -->
00:13:34.559So nothing too scathing.
00:13:34.639 -->
00:13:35.360That's good.
00:13:36.159 -->
00:13:37.919I'm not a scathing person.
00:13:38.159 -->
00:13:38.879Come on.
00:13:39.120 -->
00:13:43.039Only when it comes to like alien space movies.
00:13:43.120 -->
00:13:43.360Yeah.
00:13:43.519 -->
00:13:44.559Alien vampire movies.
00:13:44.799 -->
00:13:45.840Alien truck movies.
00:13:46.559 -->
00:13:46.639Yeah.
00:13:46.960 -->
00:13:48.399Alien truck vampires.
00:13:49.039 -->
00:13:49.840That's our next one.
00:13:50.000 -->
00:13:50.480That's our next one.
00:13:50.799 -->
00:13:52.879We need to find an alien truck vampire movie.
00:13:54.639 -->
00:13:56.320That's our decade break.
00:13:56.720 -->
00:14:00.000Oh, things to piss off Sam is the theme.
00:14:00.080 -->
00:14:02.480And it's just absolutely.
00:14:02.720 -->
00:14:04.000Oh, can you imagine?
00:14:04.080 -->
00:14:04.480Yeah.
00:14:04.720 -->
00:14:11.039One whole uh like podcast is dedicated to the movie that just rips Sam apart.
00:14:11.759 -->
00:14:12.720Just kills me.
00:14:12.799 -->
00:14:13.519I quit.
00:14:14.720 -->
00:14:15.759This is not okay.
00:14:15.919 -->
00:14:17.759I have a life other than this.
00:14:18.960 -->
00:14:20.080We're back to two hosts.
00:14:24.639 -->
00:14:25.200All right.
00:14:25.360 -->
00:14:27.039So that was what didn't hold up.
00:14:27.279 -->
00:14:29.679And gratuitous, most gratuitous scene.
00:14:30.000 -->
00:14:30.879None of us had anything.
00:14:31.039 -->
00:14:33.279Thinking back, did anything come up to you guys?
00:14:33.519 -->
00:14:41.679I guess the locking of the doors, like it happens so much, but I mean it needs like she feels like those kids need to be locked in all the time.
00:14:41.840 -->
00:14:44.399Like every every door needs to be closed as you leave.
00:14:44.559 -->
00:14:44.799Yeah.
00:14:45.120 -->
00:14:46.320And that's to keep the light out, right?
00:14:46.720 -->
00:14:46.879Yeah.
00:14:47.360 -->
00:14:49.919I understand the doors need to close, but why lock them?
00:14:50.000 -->
00:14:53.360Like, does she not think that Nicholas is old enough to not open the door?
00:14:53.600 -->
00:14:54.080Open the door?
00:14:54.399 -->
00:14:56.159Because the kids know their condition.
00:14:56.320 -->
00:14:56.559Yeah.
00:14:56.720 -->
00:14:56.879Yeah.
00:14:57.039 -->
00:15:00.480So you think that they would because at the end they're like, it doesn't hurt anymore, right?
00:15:00.639 -->
00:15:00.720Yeah.
00:15:01.120 -->
00:15:04.240So they know what it feels like to be hit by the sun.
00:15:04.559 -->
00:15:04.879Yeah.
00:15:05.120 -->
00:15:10.639So I just don't um yeah, because she constantly and the dungeon master key set.
00:15:10.879 -->
00:15:12.480Like she's got the bigger ring.
00:15:12.799 -->
00:15:14.799Yeah, that's another trope I guess I missed.
00:15:14.960 -->
00:15:19.440But she also has copies to the that she gives to the maid.
00:15:19.519 -->
00:15:21.039And it and what does she say?
00:15:21.200 -->
00:15:30.399Fifteen fifteen different keys for all the 50 doors that is it because okay, I'm wondering, is it because they keep opening randomly?
00:15:30.480 -->
00:15:31.600So she like you know what I mean?
00:15:32.000 -->
00:15:33.200So she locks them so they can't.
00:15:33.679 -->
00:15:37.279Oh, because the people are she wants them.
00:15:37.519 -->
00:15:37.679Yeah.
00:15:37.840 -->
00:15:38.240Yeah, yeah.
00:15:38.559 -->
00:15:40.159That that must probably it, yeah.
00:15:40.240 -->
00:15:40.639Yeah, yeah.
00:15:40.879 -->
00:15:43.759Because I remember her like how pissed she was when the one door opened.
00:15:44.480 -->
00:15:45.519She's like, Who's doing this?
00:15:45.679 -->
00:15:46.639Yeah, she meant to be.
00:15:47.840 -->
00:15:48.159Yeah.
00:15:48.240 -->
00:15:48.559Yeah.
00:15:48.960 -->
00:15:49.600All right.
00:15:49.759 -->
00:15:56.399Well, not much for the gratuitous, but maybe some things were terrifying or titillating, and I'm gonna go first.
00:15:56.639 -->
00:16:13.840I didn't find anything titillating, but for me, at the end of the movie, especially if you don't know the twist that's coming, when Nicholas is at the gravestone and the three employees are walking towards him, like just still creeps me out when Anne sees them and she's like, run, Nicholas, Nicholas.
00:16:14.000 -->
00:16:17.519Yeah, they they seem really menacing when they're just kind of plodding towards them.
00:16:17.600 -->
00:16:18.240Yeah, yeah.
00:16:18.399 -->
00:16:20.240So that terrified that was my terrifying moment.
00:16:20.320 -->
00:16:27.519There's other things in this movie that creep me out, but that was like that was the like note that hit and then carried over till like I got home, basically.
00:16:27.840 -->
00:16:30.639Yeah, uh Chad, what was terrifying or titillating to you?
00:16:30.879 -->
00:16:33.200Well, I had where she's playing with the Marionette.
00:16:33.279 -->
00:16:33.600Oh, yeah.
00:16:34.080 -->
00:16:42.159And when I remember when I saw that first, and it's in the trailer too, but I remember when I saw that first, and you see the old lady's hand, and I was what the hell is that?
00:16:42.320 -->
00:16:50.559And then she comes around and she's laughing, and you have that young kid's voice with the old woman's face, yeah.
00:16:50.799 -->
00:16:52.720And like, mommy, I am your daughter.
00:16:54.000 -->
00:16:55.919Yeah, it's it's super creepy.
00:16:56.080 -->
00:16:56.960So that one got me.
00:16:57.120 -->
00:17:00.320Yeah, and that's why I chose that clip for the opening because it is perfect.
00:17:00.559 -->
00:17:00.960Yeah, right.
00:17:01.200 -->
00:17:03.279And it was it was great, and other things were too.
00:17:03.360 -->
00:17:05.440So let's get into our test of time.
00:17:05.680 -->
00:17:07.519Chad, what was your test of time?
00:17:07.759 -->
00:17:12.960Well, I thought the acting still holds up, like it's it's really well done.
00:17:13.039 -->
00:17:14.480Yeah, and that's and the story.
00:17:14.640 -->
00:17:19.839Like I I like the story and I like the the way it was brought to life on the screen.
00:17:20.000 -->
00:17:20.400Yeah, yeah.
00:17:20.640 -->
00:17:22.880Especially like they say don't do movies with children.
00:17:23.119 -->
00:17:23.759And pets.
00:17:24.000 -->
00:17:27.039And pets, but Nicholas and Anne were spot on.
00:17:27.279 -->
00:17:27.599Awesome.
00:17:27.680 -->
00:17:27.839Yeah.
00:17:28.000 -->
00:17:28.240Yeah.
00:17:28.799 -->
00:17:29.119Yeah.
00:17:29.599 -->
00:17:38.480Anne was the like the the bitchy little daughter that uh and she wasn't that bad, but she was just calling to question, like like a daughter would do as they get to a certain age.
00:17:38.559 -->
00:17:40.319Like she's just like, well, why are we doing this?
00:17:40.480 -->
00:17:42.160And why like why is this?
00:17:42.240 -->
00:17:44.000What why do you believe this blindly?
00:17:44.720 -->
00:17:47.200And uh, so I really, really did like the kids.
00:17:47.279 -->
00:17:47.519Yeah.
00:17:47.920 -->
00:17:49.680Sam, what were your some of your tested times?
00:17:50.000 -->
00:17:51.599I think a lot of these kind of like overlap.
00:17:51.839 -->
00:17:57.359I know Chad, you kind of said, I just I think just the film in general, like in here.
00:17:57.440 -->
00:18:02.000I have I really liked the twist because you don't like the first time I remember not seeing it coming at all.
00:18:02.240 -->
00:18:02.960Yeah, I didn't see it.
00:18:03.440 -->
00:18:05.839Um, I thought the acting was really good in it.
00:18:06.000 -->
00:18:07.200I liked the outfits picked.
00:18:07.279 -->
00:18:08.880I liked Nicole Kidman's outfit.
00:18:09.039 -->
00:18:09.279Yeah.
00:18:09.440 -->
00:18:12.400The tension that was built in the film um as a whole.
00:18:12.559 -->
00:18:13.440I liked the vibes.
00:18:13.599 -->
00:18:15.359I liked that it was like kind of like gothic-y.
00:18:15.599 -->
00:18:15.759Yeah.
00:18:16.000 -->
00:18:18.799I liked, yeah, I liked the how saturated colors, right?
00:18:19.039 -->
00:18:21.039Yeah, like it was just bright and green.
00:18:21.119 -->
00:18:23.200It was it was all kind of dead.
00:18:23.359 -->
00:18:24.240It was diffused light.
00:18:24.319 -->
00:18:24.799It was so good.
00:18:24.880 -->
00:18:24.960Yeah.
00:18:25.200 -->
00:18:27.599So I just think like the like they did a really good job.
00:18:27.680 -->
00:18:31.680I think it's well written, I think it's well acted, and I think it's the setting and the cuts are good.
00:18:31.839 -->
00:18:33.599The film, the videography as a whole is good.
00:18:33.759 -->
00:18:35.920So yeah, I think just the film is itself.
00:18:36.000 -->
00:18:36.480Yeah, yeah.
00:18:36.640 -->
00:18:36.960All right.
00:18:37.039 -->
00:18:42.240Uh, a couple for me, I love the way it starts almost like a bedtime story where it's it's the black story.
00:18:42.480 -->
00:18:44.160She starts talking and she yeah.
00:18:44.480 -->
00:18:46.240Now, children, are you sitting comfortably?
00:18:46.400 -->
00:18:50.960Yeah, and then she starts to tell the story, and it's like and it lulls you into comfort.
00:18:51.039 -->
00:18:53.680It's like, oh, it's a bedtime story or it's a fairy tale.
00:18:53.839 -->
00:18:59.519And then my second test of time is it cuts to harsh light and Nicole Kidman screaming.
00:18:59.759 -->
00:19:03.200Yes, and I remember that in the theater, just being like, Oh fuck.
00:19:03.279 -->
00:19:06.240Yeah, because it just comes out of nowhere, it's so good.
00:19:06.400 -->
00:19:06.720Yeah.
00:19:06.960 -->
00:19:14.880Well, and it's one of the things that I I actually did have another test of time, and I said, All the jump scares still work, like they still got me.
00:19:14.960 -->
00:19:15.440Yes.
00:19:15.599 -->
00:19:20.559And maybe because I hadn't seen it, like I'd only seen it one other time when I went to it in the theater.
00:19:20.640 -->
00:19:23.359And then when I watched it this time, I was like, Oh fuck.
00:19:23.519 -->
00:19:24.079Oh, geez.
00:19:25.119 -->
00:19:29.440It just got me when the piano room door slams in my face and knocked her back.
00:19:29.599 -->
00:19:31.039Yeah, I was like, Whoa.
00:19:31.279 -->
00:19:31.759Yeah, yeah.
00:19:32.000 -->
00:19:33.200Did you have any other tests of time?
00:19:33.359 -->
00:19:34.160No, that's it now.
00:19:34.319 -->
00:19:34.400Sam?
00:19:34.799 -->
00:19:35.839Really, this time, I'm done.
00:19:36.000 -->
00:19:37.200Yeah, for real.
00:19:37.759 -->
00:19:43.119No, but just to kind of on what you said with the bedtime story kind of thing, usually that's something we criticize.
00:19:43.200 -->
00:19:47.920So in all the movies we've seen before where they've done like a voiceover or like some type it's not been done well.
00:19:48.079 -->
00:19:52.319Yeah, well, usually it's like like I'm thinking about Jack Frost, like, call me a bedtime.
00:19:53.039 -->
00:19:53.680Yeah, yeah.
00:19:53.920 -->
00:19:55.839Just like this one doesn't great.
00:19:56.319 -->
00:19:57.759Yeah, it goes well with it.
00:19:57.839 -->
00:20:03.759Yeah, well, it really sounds like a mother telling her kids, yeah, like trying to get them to sleep, right?
00:20:03.920 -->
00:20:04.960It doesn't, yeah.
00:20:05.200 -->
00:20:05.519I don't know.
00:20:05.599 -->
00:20:14.400I bought I bought it this time, whereas you're right, that because I have been heavily critical of voiceovers that in other movies, but this one worked.
00:20:14.559 -->
00:20:15.200Yeah, yeah.
00:20:15.440 -->
00:20:17.200I'll just finish off with a few more of mine.
00:20:17.359 -->
00:20:24.799When Victor wakes up and the curtains are open, like so many other movies, and we the scared acting does not work.
00:20:25.440 -->
00:20:29.440This little kid, like you could hear the terror, and they played it perfectly.
00:20:29.599 -->
00:20:30.240Yeah, yeah.
00:20:30.400 -->
00:20:31.119So well done.
00:20:31.359 -->
00:20:35.200I loved the camera angles, the camera movement, the use of space in that house.
00:20:35.279 -->
00:20:42.559Like it was very disorienting to understand the layout and the number of doors and movement, like, but that made you feel lost as well.
00:20:42.720 -->
00:20:43.759It was it was well done.
00:20:43.839 -->
00:20:50.480It wasn't it wasn't like the ginger snaps basement that like it was like they've turned like eight corners in a sub basement.
00:20:51.119 -->
00:20:51.839Where are they?
00:20:52.000 -->
00:20:55.519Yeah, like the the geography of the house was well used, I thought.
00:20:55.599 -->
00:20:59.279Yeah, and I think like the mom knowing the rooms that don't get light, that kind of stuff.
00:20:59.519 -->
00:21:12.400Yeah, because like at the end, of course, when she's like, This is our house, this is our house, like that kind of thing, you could see how people who freshly moved in, yeah, how terrifying it would be to like have these locked doors and not know the layout yet.
00:21:12.480 -->
00:21:16.079So they're still learning that and how much creepier it would have been for them, right?
00:21:16.240 -->
00:21:16.640Yeah, yeah.
00:21:16.799 -->
00:21:18.640And I loved uh oh no, go ahead.
00:21:18.720 -->
00:21:18.880Go ahead.
00:21:19.039 -->
00:21:24.799I I loved when they're opening up the curtains or and it's like each room the camera spins and lights up.
00:21:24.960 -->
00:21:29.279Yes, and it's almost like a doll's house set, but they it was just so cool.
00:21:29.519 -->
00:21:51.200One of the things that uh just through talking, I didn't write this down, but the thing I loved, and I hope you guys don't have this in another category, but was the final shot where she is with her kids and she does say this is our house, and and the kid Victor is looking at them, and then they just fade away and he's staring at them, and the guy's like, Come on, Victor, let's go.
00:21:51.440 -->
00:21:55.759They get into the into the car and and he's still looking back and driving up.
00:21:55.839 -->
00:21:59.519But that that image of them in the house as it fades.
00:22:00.319 -->
00:22:00.480Yeah.
00:22:00.640 -->
00:22:01.519I thought was really cool.
00:22:01.759 -->
00:22:01.920Yeah.
00:22:02.000 -->
00:22:02.400Oh yeah.
00:22:02.480 -->
00:22:06.559I realized I said Victor in the curtains, but it's Nicholas that wakes up because Victor was opening the curtains.
00:22:06.640 -->
00:22:06.799Yeah.
00:22:07.359 -->
00:22:11.119Well, and then there's that like touch his cheek to let let him know he's real.
00:22:11.200 -->
00:22:15.039And then he t touches him and he's like, ah, he just like loses his mind.
00:22:15.119 -->
00:22:15.359Yeah.
00:22:15.519 -->
00:22:17.920It was very well done for such a young actor.
00:22:18.079 -->
00:22:18.240Yeah.
00:22:18.480 -->
00:22:22.319And it's it's very subtle because she's wearing an elasticated cuff.
00:22:22.400 -->
00:22:22.559Yeah.
00:22:22.720 -->
00:22:25.359And it's a blue like shirt cuff that touches him.
00:22:25.440 -->
00:22:27.279So it is a different person in the room.
00:22:27.680 -->
00:22:30.799So that's the first time that if you don't know, you think you're seeing the ghost.
00:22:30.960 -->
00:22:31.119Yeah.
00:22:31.519 -->
00:22:37.359And you never notice, or I never really put this together, but they never get out of their jammies, right?
00:22:37.440 -->
00:22:37.599Yeah.
00:22:37.759 -->
00:22:41.839But they're always in what I'm assuming she killed them in.
00:22:42.000 -->
00:22:42.240Yeah.
00:22:42.559 -->
00:22:44.400And is and they're always in that.
00:22:44.559 -->
00:22:49.599No matter what time of the day it is, when they're doing their lessons, they're always in their their nightclothes.
00:22:49.680 -->
00:22:49.759Yeah.
00:22:49.920 -->
00:22:52.640And there was part of me that thought, like, are the kids still in the bed too?
00:22:52.720 -->
00:22:57.599Because there's this scene where Grace is apologizing to Anne and Anne is sleeping.
00:22:57.839 -->
00:23:03.759And Anne does not move or wake up, even though she's being, I'm like, kids sleep really deeply.
00:23:04.079 -->
00:23:08.480But then as Grace leaves, Anne opens her eyes to show that she was feigning sleep.
00:23:08.559 -->
00:23:08.799Right.
00:23:08.960 -->
00:23:12.319But I was like, oh my God, is that that's the positions they died in, maybe?
00:23:12.559 -->
00:23:12.960Yeah.
00:23:13.119 -->
00:23:13.359Yeah.
00:23:13.599 -->
00:23:14.000Ugh.
00:23:14.160 -->
00:23:14.400Yeah.
00:23:14.720 -->
00:23:19.039My last test of time, just because it was an interesting kind of twist on the trope of the seance.
00:23:19.200 -->
00:23:28.319But I loved, especially as it's being revealed that holy shit, they're dead, and you see the seance, and the woman's doing the writing, and you hear Ant like, yeah, I'll be like, That's my daughter.
00:23:28.559 -->
00:23:30.160She's saying that's her daughter or whatever.
00:23:30.240 -->
00:23:30.480Yeah.
00:23:30.640 -->
00:23:36.480And then Nicole Kimbinn out of frustration is like like shaking the table, like, look at me, look at me, because she doesn't realize she's dead yet.
00:23:36.559 -->
00:23:36.720Yeah.
00:23:36.960 -->
00:23:38.960And then it cuts to like the table shaking on its own.
00:23:39.039 -->
00:23:40.640Like, I just thought that was so well done.
00:23:40.880 -->
00:23:42.880The cut of that scene was really well done, too.
00:23:43.039 -->
00:23:48.000Like, well, on the paper, when she's ripping up, picks some pick rips up the paper and like throws it away.
00:23:48.160 -->
00:23:51.279Like, could you imagine being in that and seeing that happen?
00:23:51.440 -->
00:23:53.920Like that would just be insane.
00:23:54.400 -->
00:23:55.920And the fact they're like, oh fuck.
00:23:56.160 -->
00:23:58.240They're like, Well, oh, yeah, we'll leave in the morning.
00:23:58.319 -->
00:24:00.079And it's like in the morning.
00:24:00.559 -->
00:24:01.519I am leaving right now.
00:24:02.000 -->
00:24:03.039No, I'm already gone.
00:24:03.200 -->
00:24:03.759I'm out.
00:24:04.079 -->
00:24:05.519Victor's traumatized.
00:24:05.680 -->
00:24:10.559We've just seen paper get ripped in front of us by a being that's not here.
00:24:11.200 -->
00:24:12.720There's a big shape hole in the wall.
00:24:14.000 -->
00:24:15.119Maybe they don't want us here.
00:24:15.359 -->
00:24:19.519It's like that Eddie Murphy scene where he's like, you know, you walk in and he's like, get out.
00:24:19.599 -->
00:24:21.119Oh, fucking see you later.
00:24:24.720 -->
00:24:26.799Yeah, they were so non-plussed.
00:24:26.960 -->
00:24:27.200No.
00:24:27.680 -->
00:24:29.200Oh, thank you for the lovely time.
00:24:29.359 -->
00:24:29.680Yeah.
00:24:30.000 -->
00:24:33.039Like you could see a bit of fear in the in the mom, right?
00:24:33.200 -->
00:24:33.279Yeah.
00:24:34.160 -->
00:24:38.319But the father was just like, no, no, let's investigate this further.
00:24:40.000 -->
00:24:41.200Oh, I'd be so pissed.
00:24:41.359 -->
00:24:43.200I'd be that's where I'm waiting in the car.
00:24:43.440 -->
00:24:44.960Like already there.
00:24:47.039 -->
00:24:47.440Have fun.
00:24:47.599 -->
00:24:48.160I'll be out there.
00:24:48.880 -->
00:24:50.799This place, like you wouldn't even get to sleep.
00:24:50.880 -->
00:24:51.920I would never get to sleep.
00:24:52.319 -->
00:24:52.480No.
00:24:52.799 -->
00:24:53.839There's no way.
00:24:55.839 -->
00:24:58.079I would ask the like seance people to take me with them.
00:24:58.400 -->
00:24:58.640That's right.
00:24:58.720 -->
00:24:58.799Yeah.
00:24:59.200 -->
00:25:00.240Okay, have fun here.
00:25:00.319 -->
00:25:00.559Yeah.
00:25:00.720 -->
00:25:02.880I'm sure there's a hotel just down the road.
00:25:02.960 -->
00:25:03.680I can I can go.
00:25:04.000 -->
00:25:04.480Anywhere else.
00:25:04.640 -->
00:25:04.799Yeah.
00:25:05.119 -->
00:25:06.000Anywhere else but here.
00:25:07.839 -->
00:25:10.960Well, their reaction was hilarious, and some other things were as well.
00:25:11.279 -->
00:25:12.960Sam, did you have anything for laugh out loud?
00:25:13.039 -->
00:25:13.200No.
00:25:13.359 -->
00:25:13.599Nope.
00:25:13.680 -->
00:25:13.920All right.
00:25:14.079 -->
00:25:15.759Chad, what was your laugh out loud?
00:25:16.000 -->
00:25:22.319Well, it wasn't really like a gaffar or anything, but the only thing I that I thought was hilarious was they poop on our windows.
00:25:22.400 -->
00:25:24.880So I I kind of chuckled at that line.
00:25:24.960 -->
00:25:38.720Everything else was pretty serious, so I just didn't find uh a lot of humor in this script, which is, you know, usually you can find some dark humor in a in a horror movie or something that you can kind of laugh about.
00:25:38.799 -->
00:25:42.559But this I was engaged, but I didn't find anything super funny about it.
00:25:42.880 -->
00:25:43.920No, no, not at all.
00:25:44.079 -->
00:25:45.920Infanticide is not humorous.
00:25:47.759 -->
00:25:49.599And neither is World War II.
00:25:49.920 -->
00:25:50.720Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:25:53.279 -->
00:25:56.079Where can we find the comic button in this?
00:26:00.000 -->
00:26:03.279And yeah, my laugh out loud was taken with the poop on the window as well.
00:26:03.359 -->
00:26:04.079So nice.
00:26:04.319 -->
00:26:05.839Poop on the window's funny.
00:26:07.920 -->
00:26:09.039I didn't find it funny.
00:26:09.200 -->
00:26:11.039I didn't write it down or even remember it.
00:26:14.480 -->
00:26:14.880All right.
00:26:15.039 -->
00:26:20.720We've talked about the sound a bit already, but let's get into what was eerie or ear splitting in this film.
00:26:20.880 -->
00:26:26.079And for me, I loved the house noises and like Victor's thumping feet and that.
00:26:26.640 -->
00:26:27.359That's what I had too.
00:26:27.440 -->
00:26:27.599Yeah.
00:26:27.680 -->
00:26:27.839Yeah.
00:26:28.240 -->
00:26:28.720Very well done.
00:26:28.880 -->
00:26:30.240The sound effects were very well done.
00:26:30.319 -->
00:26:30.480Yeah.
00:26:30.559 -->
00:26:30.720Yeah.
00:26:30.880 -->
00:26:32.960Sam, did you have something else for eerie ear splitting?
00:26:33.200 -->
00:26:36.559I found that at times the sound was too much.
00:26:36.880 -->
00:26:41.279So like they really had a lot of like suspense music and those types of things.
00:26:41.440 -->
00:26:51.920And one of the things, and I don't know if it's just the version I had or if it's like my speaker setup, but I found that there was a huge discrepancy between the voices and the music.
00:26:52.079 -->
00:26:55.599So I felt that it was really loud compared to the music was very loud.
00:26:55.759 -->
00:26:56.000Yeah.
00:26:56.079 -->
00:27:00.559And so I don't know, like I said, if it was just my version, but it was too like it was very noticeable for me.
00:27:00.720 -->
00:27:03.599And there's like pretty much no silence in the movie.
00:27:03.839 -->
00:27:09.599Like the music fit, but it's constantly playing that suspense music constantly through the whole thing.
00:27:09.759 -->
00:27:10.559And it was loud.
00:27:10.640 -->
00:27:14.319I found I had to turn it down a little bit and then turn it back up to hear the speaking as well.
00:27:14.400 -->
00:27:14.640Right.
00:27:15.039 -->
00:27:18.960I found like Nicole Kidman's character or Grace whispers a lot.
00:27:19.119 -->
00:27:19.279Yeah.
00:27:19.440 -->
00:27:21.039And so I had to turn it up for that.
00:27:21.200 -->
00:27:25.200But then I just sort of lived in the loudness of the music and the house noise.
00:27:25.440 -->
00:27:25.599Yeah.
00:27:25.920 -->
00:27:26.160Yeah.
00:27:26.319 -->
00:27:29.519I had to turn it down a couple of times too because it was pretty loud.
00:27:29.599 -->
00:27:33.519However, I remember seeing it in the theater and where you don't get that option.
00:27:34.319 -->
00:27:38.720And with the stomping and the it really accentuates those effects.
00:27:38.960 -->
00:27:43.359So you do when that first thing stomps and he pulls the curtains back.
00:27:43.519 -->
00:27:45.119I remember being super freaked out.
00:27:47.599 -->
00:27:48.960And you're like, ah, yeah.
00:27:49.279 -->
00:27:53.759So I think it sells it in the theater, but it's the same as Avengers, too, right?
00:27:53.839 -->
00:28:01.279Like all the explosions and stuff are super and the music is super loud, but then the the audio when they're talking, you're like, what's he saying?
00:28:01.440 -->
00:28:02.160Like yeah.
00:28:02.799 -->
00:28:03.119All right.
00:28:03.200 -->
00:28:05.519Now we're gonna move into our what the fuck moments.
00:28:05.599 -->
00:28:07.359Chad, you're the only one that had something.
00:28:07.440 -->
00:28:08.960What made you say what the fuck?
00:28:09.200 -->
00:28:12.559So mine is going back to when I first watched it.
00:28:12.640 -->
00:28:14.160There was no what the fuck this time.
00:28:14.400 -->
00:28:15.119It's the reveal.
00:28:15.200 -->
00:28:15.440Yeah.
00:28:15.759 -->
00:28:21.200When I first watched this film and it all came out that they were the ghost, I was like, holy shit.
00:28:21.359 -->
00:28:22.960Yeah, that is mind-blowing.
00:28:23.839 -->
00:28:25.920And so that really that really got me.
00:28:26.000 -->
00:28:30.960So that was my what the fuck looking back as a young Chad watching this the first time.
00:28:31.119 -->
00:28:32.880So that's yeah, that's what I see.
00:28:33.119 -->
00:28:35.119This is one that I would like, just like with the Sixth Sense.
00:28:35.359 -->
00:28:45.039I want someone who has never seen this movie before, who like never has like, and obviously our listeners uh know the twists, but I want someone who goes into this blind today, like in 2026.
00:28:45.279 -->
00:28:48.000If you've never seen it, I want you to and does it hold up?
00:28:48.079 -->
00:28:48.880Like, does it yeah?
00:28:49.279 -->
00:28:51.359So Louise watched this with me.
00:28:51.440 -->
00:28:58.720Yeah, and I swear she has seen it, because I could have sworn I would have made her watch it in Taiwan on DVD, but she she's like, nope, don't remember it.
00:28:58.799 -->
00:29:00.559And I'm like, you don't remember, you don't remember.
00:29:00.640 -->
00:29:01.039She's like, no.
00:29:01.279 -->
00:29:05.599So I'm like, okay, I'm gonna stop asking because if you keep asking that, she's like, okay, I'm gonna start looking for it.
00:29:05.759 -->
00:29:09.680Yeah, and then yeah, with like half an hour left in the film, she's like, Oh, they're dead.
00:29:09.839 -->
00:29:12.559And I was just like, Oh, like you've ruined it for yourself.
00:29:12.880 -->
00:29:21.680So yeah, I never asked her what keyed her into it, but like she called Nicole Kidman and the kids being dead, like way before I clued in when I watched it the first time.
00:29:22.079 -->
00:29:22.319Right.
00:29:22.559 -->
00:29:30.400So then when Anne yells they're dead, or when you see that when she finds the book of the dead picture in the house, yeah, like Louise is just like, okay.
00:29:30.640 -->
00:29:32.480Oh, so there was no like moment.
00:29:32.960 -->
00:29:34.640Oh, and I was like, Oh my god, wasn't that so good?
00:29:34.720 -->
00:29:36.079She's like, eh, it was okay.
00:29:36.319 -->
00:29:38.960Oh, yeah, but that's because like she gets it.
00:29:39.039 -->
00:29:43.119But I guess it like, I mean, if you watch the Sixth Sense and like 15 minutes in, you're like, Oh, he's dead.
00:29:43.359 -->
00:29:43.839Yeah.
00:29:45.440 -->
00:29:48.640So yeah, it it it stole the what the fuck moment from her.
00:29:48.799 -->
00:29:49.039Yeah.
00:29:49.279 -->
00:29:50.079Oh, that's too bad.
00:29:50.319 -->
00:29:53.119Because I also watched this with Justin, who hadn't seen it.
00:29:53.359 -->
00:29:56.319But with like 40 minutes left, he's like, All right, I'm going to bed.
00:29:56.400 -->
00:29:57.279And I was like, What?
00:29:57.599 -->
00:30:00.160No, you can't, but you need to stay for this.
00:30:00.640 -->
00:30:07.279But I didn't want to like, I was like, Oh, okay, maybe we'll watch the rest tomorrow, and then we never can like I just watched it by myself after that.
00:30:07.519 -->
00:30:08.079That's too bad.
00:30:08.240 -->
00:30:10.799And so maybe I'll make him watch it and I'll report back.
00:30:11.039 -->
00:30:11.599But I don't know.
00:30:11.759 -->
00:30:12.559He was really okay.
00:30:12.640 -->
00:30:17.680Because he's not really like super into horror movies, so like he'll sometimes watch them with me and be on his phone or be whatever.
00:30:17.759 -->
00:30:19.759And yeah, this is very atmospheric.
00:30:20.240 -->
00:30:30.160Yeah, and I yeah, I remember watching this because I went to this with Cathy and she liked it because I when I said, Oh, we're doing the other, she's like, Oh, I've seen that.
00:30:30.240 -->
00:30:34.400And I say, Yeah, we went to it to the theater, and she's like, Yes, yes, I remember.
00:30:34.480 -->
00:30:43.119And and then we started talking about she's like, Yeah, I really like that film, and she's not a horror movie person at all, but she liked that one and she liked the grudge.
00:30:43.359 -->
00:30:46.480Those are the two that she that she bought into.
00:30:46.640 -->
00:30:47.839Yeah, she bought into some good ones.
00:30:48.000 -->
00:30:48.480Yeah, yeah.
00:30:48.640 -->
00:30:52.319I'm glad to hear it wasn't like she really liked Leprechaun in the Hood.
00:30:52.559 -->
00:30:53.119Oh my god.
00:30:55.039 -->
00:30:57.359It's like, I don't know if we can be together.
00:30:59.119 -->
00:31:01.680It's the anniversary of Leprechaun in the Hood.
00:31:01.759 -->
00:31:03.920Let's get in the hood.
00:31:04.799 -->
00:31:07.839Sometimes she'll creep through the produce section, leopard hood, left.
00:31:12.559 -->
00:31:22.720Oh my god, the it's the children of the film could not go into the light, and some other things may have stayed in the shadows as we watched the film.
00:31:22.960 -->
00:31:24.880Sam, what did you have hiding in the shadows?
00:31:25.039 -->
00:31:28.799Uh, we already kind of talked about it, but Anne was low-key a bitch and was good at it.
00:31:28.960 -->
00:31:32.559Like she just those like she you're right, Chad.
00:31:32.640 -->
00:31:34.319It's just like she's like, Well, what the fuck?
00:31:34.400 -->
00:31:37.359Like, she just called people out on their shit and I liked it and I appreciated it.
00:31:37.599 -->
00:31:39.200Yeah, she was a great voice of common sense.
00:31:39.359 -->
00:31:39.599Yes.
00:31:39.680 -->
00:31:40.160Yeah, yes.
00:31:40.319 -->
00:31:40.480Yeah.
00:31:40.640 -->
00:31:42.240Chad, what did you have hiding in the shadows?
00:31:42.559 -->
00:31:51.359So I just had a question about so there's what, two or three scenes where Nicole Kidman gets a shotgun and just walks around.
00:31:51.519 -->
00:31:56.160And then do the others see the lanterns that they bring out?
00:31:56.319 -->
00:31:59.039Like, are they just floating shit around all the time?
00:31:59.440 -->
00:32:02.400Because if they're not there, we saw the paper get ripped, right?
00:32:02.640 -->
00:32:04.160And we saw the table move.
00:32:04.319 -->
00:32:08.880So obviously they can see what these ghosts are doing.
00:32:09.119 -->
00:32:13.759So then do they see them walking through the hallways with the with the lanterns?
00:32:13.920 -->
00:32:17.039Do they see the shotgun just like coming down the hallway?
00:32:17.519 -->
00:32:18.160It's so scary.
00:32:18.400 -->
00:32:18.880What do you imagine?
00:32:19.119 -->
00:32:20.240What is happening here?
00:32:22.160 -->
00:32:31.119And do they see the well, they obviously see the curtains being drawn and being like they don't open them, but they see the curtains being drawn.
00:32:31.200 -->
00:32:31.440Yeah.
00:32:31.759 -->
00:32:33.440Because the kid runs and draws them.
00:32:33.599 -->
00:32:39.599So I just find it a little inconsistent, and I'm wondering what the others can see and what they can't.
00:32:39.920 -->
00:32:45.920I love the fact that it's like because Nicole Kidman, like they keep closing the curtains and the family the like the others keep opening it.
00:32:46.319 -->
00:32:49.119Their solution is well, we'll just get rid of the curtains.
00:32:49.599 -->
00:32:50.640Yeah, no curtains.
00:32:50.960 -->
00:32:51.519Pull them all down.
00:32:51.599 -->
00:32:52.400Yeah, there we go.
00:32:52.480 -->
00:32:53.680Now they'll never be closed again.
00:32:53.839 -->
00:32:54.079Yeah.
00:32:54.240 -->
00:32:55.440Um I don't know.
00:32:55.519 -->
00:32:56.160That's a good question.
00:32:56.240 -->
00:33:00.799Because like the in the piano room, she closes the piano, but then when she comes back, it's open.
00:33:00.960 -->
00:33:01.599It's open again.
00:33:01.759 -->
00:33:05.279There's part of me that I thought, like, does that mean she's not affecting reality?
00:33:05.440 -->
00:33:10.799So she thinks she closed it, but then or they like, yeah, are they are the doors actually being locked?
00:33:11.039 -->
00:33:18.000Or is that just something in her her world or her world that she thinks is happening, but it's not actually happening?
00:33:18.240 -->
00:33:18.799I don't know.
00:33:19.359 -->
00:33:20.880So that was my question.
00:33:21.039 -->
00:33:22.559Is what do the others see?
00:33:22.720 -->
00:33:24.400Yeah, what do they not see?
00:33:24.960 -->
00:33:34.960Because there's a lot of stuff going on in there that I was like, man, if I was in a house and I saw a double barrel shotgun just coming down the hallway, I wouldn't be calling a seance.
00:33:35.039 -->
00:33:36.640I would be getting the fuck out of Dodge.
00:33:37.200 -->
00:33:39.839It's like I am not staying here another night.
00:33:40.160 -->
00:33:44.319Victor's being touched by ghosts, like and a shotgun is zooming down.
00:33:44.720 -->
00:33:46.880A shotgun is walking down the hallway.
00:33:47.279 -->
00:33:55.680And if I was in the room where she had all the sheets and she was flicking those sheets off at the moment, that would freak the shit out of me.
00:33:56.240 -->
00:33:57.359I would not be staying.
00:33:57.519 -->
00:34:03.119So my question is do you see that, or is that something in her mind that's happening?
00:34:03.359 -->
00:34:04.559I think it's something in the ghost.
00:34:04.960 -->
00:34:11.679Like, I think that's like the two like because like you don't see them, you don't see a spoon being lifted up as they're eating the peas at dinner.
00:34:12.159 -->
00:34:14.719And like you don't so I think it's just like their own world.
00:34:14.800 -->
00:34:18.639And I think at some points they cross over because like I think it's like the line you said, yeah.
00:34:18.880 -->
00:34:22.239Yeah, sometimes the world of the living gets mixed up with the world of the dead.
00:34:22.400 -->
00:34:22.639Yeah.
00:34:22.800 -->
00:34:26.159And she does say the like the maid does say, what's her name again?
00:34:26.320 -->
00:34:26.559Mrs.
00:34:26.719 -->
00:34:27.599Mills Mills.
00:34:27.920 -->
00:34:30.960She does say sometimes we'll see them, sometimes we won't.
00:34:31.119 -->
00:34:31.360Right.
00:34:31.440 -->
00:34:31.679Yeah.
00:34:31.840 -->
00:34:33.519Like, so is that the same with the ghosts?
00:34:33.599 -->
00:34:37.039Sometimes they sometimes they see what's happening, and sometimes they don't.
00:34:37.280 -->
00:34:37.840I think so.
00:34:37.920 -->
00:34:38.239Yeah.
00:34:38.400 -->
00:34:40.320So, anyways, just an interesting thing.
00:34:40.400 -->
00:34:42.159I thought I was like, well, what can they see?
00:34:42.320 -->
00:34:43.039What can't they see?
00:34:43.199 -->
00:34:49.440And it's not really explained, but they just kind of in a throwaway line, just kind of say, Yeah, this could happen or it couldn't.
00:34:49.519 -->
00:34:49.679Right.
00:34:50.000 -->
00:34:53.280And it's like, and it's interesting with this one because we see it from the flipped side.
00:34:53.360 -->
00:34:53.599Yeah.
00:34:53.760 -->
00:34:54.000Right?
00:34:54.079 -->
00:35:00.159Like any other ghost movie, you're like, you see what you see, and the ball is rolling down the hallway, or like you hear what you see, but this one we don't know what they see.
00:35:08.880 -->
00:35:10.400It's like Jesus Christ.
00:35:12.320 -->
00:35:13.440That was so good.
00:35:14.239 -->
00:35:19.840Okay, we love this movie, and something might have done it better, or this was the one that did it the best.
00:35:20.000 -->
00:35:21.679Let's get into our freight done right.
00:35:22.000 -->
00:35:25.039And my comment is this is the fright done right.
00:35:25.280 -->
00:35:27.840As far as like from the ghost perspective, right?
00:35:28.079 -->
00:35:28.800This movie did it.
00:35:28.880 -->
00:35:30.079This movie creeped me out.
00:35:30.239 -->
00:35:30.880Very well done.
00:35:31.039 -->
00:35:31.280Yeah.
00:35:31.440 -->
00:35:31.679Yeah.
00:35:31.920 -->
00:35:32.239Chad.
00:35:32.400 -->
00:35:33.519Yeah, that was my point too.
00:35:33.840 -->
00:35:46.400I just thought this one for the genre and what it what it did, and then when it came out, it was kind of other than the sixth sense that has that big reveal, this one has kind of a different reveal, but I I liked it.
00:35:46.960 -->
00:35:47.199Sam?
00:35:47.360 -->
00:35:48.400Yeah, I said the same thing.
00:35:48.480 -->
00:35:49.599I said it's so good.
00:35:49.760 -->
00:35:55.760I said it's comparable to like the shining and sixth sense, um, in terms of like kind of that twist or whatever.
00:35:56.000 -->
00:35:57.840But yeah, and all really good movies.
00:35:57.920 -->
00:35:58.800So absolutely.
00:35:58.960 -->
00:35:59.599All right, thank you.
00:35:59.760 -->
00:36:04.159Now let's get into the research that we did to find out more about the film.
00:36:04.320 -->
00:36:06.079Chad, what did you have for research?
00:36:06.480 -->
00:36:15.840The disease the children have is an actual disease known as xeroderma pigmentosum, which is basically an extreme sensitivity to sunlight.
00:36:16.000 -->
00:36:19.920It is very rare with roughly a thousand people in the world who have it.
00:36:20.400 -->
00:36:26.000And to get the kids worked up, Alejandro would play scary music when they weren't expecting it.
00:36:26.239 -->
00:36:27.360Yeah, that's so cool.
00:36:27.599 -->
00:36:28.960Yeah, we kind of I don't know.
00:36:29.440 -->
00:36:37.199I think I think kids uh and in 2001 there would have been more things, but I think kids really got a bum deal when they're working on films.
00:36:37.440 -->
00:36:40.480It's like you're supposed to be scared or you're supposed to be crying.
00:36:40.559 -->
00:36:48.000I'm gonna slap you in the face and then cry, and then we'll film it, and then you know, here's a lollipop.
00:36:48.880 -->
00:36:57.360Sorry, at least occasional or unexpected scary sounds or music is better than like, well, I can't remember what film was, but the director liked to make the kid cry.
00:36:57.440 -->
00:36:59.440It's like you're a horrible actor and nobody likes you.
00:36:59.840 -->
00:37:01.840Yeah, I do remember that action.
00:37:02.079 -->
00:37:03.440Yeah, Jesus.
00:37:03.679 -->
00:37:04.559Like awesome.
00:37:05.280 -->
00:37:07.280Sam, what did you have for bonus features?
00:37:07.599 -->
00:37:10.880About 5,000 different kids additioned for the role of Anne and Nicholas.
00:37:11.199 -->
00:37:11.760Wow, wow.
00:37:11.920 -->
00:37:18.559Um, Nicholas's the actor James Bentley was cast right away, but Anne's position took a lot longer, which makes sense.
00:37:18.639 -->
00:37:23.280You really have to have a really good kid in that role, and I think she did great.
00:37:23.440 -->
00:37:30.880And then Nicole Kidman actually tried to convince Alejandro Amnabar to find another actress for the part.
00:37:31.039 -->
00:37:36.079She had just come off of filming in Moulin Rouge, and she didn't want to take on a film that explored such dark places.
00:37:36.880 -->
00:37:38.719This movie is a juggernaut.
00:37:39.519 -->
00:37:43.920Budget 17 million, box office 210.
00:37:44.239 -->
00:37:44.639Whoa.
00:37:44.880 -->
00:37:45.679Yeah, worldwide.
00:37:45.760 -->
00:37:48.000It's one of the highest-grossing horror films of all time.
00:37:48.559 -->
00:37:48.960Awesome.
00:37:49.119 -->
00:37:49.440Yeah.
00:37:49.679 -->
00:37:55.920And this one I found interesting, just Nicole Kidman quit briefly during rehearsals because playing Grace gave her nightmares.
00:37:56.000 -->
00:38:00.719And she the quote is like, at one point, I didn't want to make the film because I couldn't even go there emotionally.
00:38:00.880 -->
00:38:03.519It was still very difficult to exist in that state.
00:38:03.679 -->
00:38:06.639When you're doing an intense film, the boundaries blur.
00:38:06.719 -->
00:38:06.960Yeah.
00:38:07.199 -->
00:38:11.280And then fortunately, a Minabar and his team were able to convince her to return to the film.
00:38:11.440 -->
00:38:14.480And then she said, I was so glad to step out of her in the end.
00:38:14.639 -->
00:38:20.000So and I think she was like dealing with separation from Tom Cruise at the same time, and he was a producer on the film.
00:38:20.079 -->
00:38:21.920So, like, she had a lot of shit in the background.
00:38:22.559 -->
00:38:23.199Yeah, that's too bad.
00:38:23.280 -->
00:38:23.440Yeah.
00:38:23.519 -->
00:38:24.559Chad, what else did you have?
00:38:24.800 -->
00:38:26.239I thought this was kind of interesting.
00:38:26.480 -->
00:38:27.840This is to speak to yours.
00:38:28.000 -->
00:38:30.079I think stood the test of time with the voiceover.
00:38:30.239 -->
00:38:33.280The movie opens with Nicole Kidman in a voiceover reading a story.
00:38:33.360 -->
00:38:36.719She begins with words, now children, are you sitting comfortably?
00:38:36.800 -->
00:38:37.599Then I'll begin.
00:38:37.760 -->
00:38:47.039The BBC radio program, Listen with Mother, broadcast in the UK between 1950 and 1982, always began, Are you sitting comfortably?
00:38:47.199 -->
00:38:48.000Then I'll begin.
00:38:48.159 -->
00:38:48.400Ooh.
00:38:48.960 -->
00:38:49.840Ooh, that gave me chills.
00:38:50.000 -->
00:38:50.719Yeah, me too.
00:38:53.039 -->
00:39:04.159And then this was the first ever to receive the best film award at the Goyas, Spain's National Film Awards, with not a single word of Spanish spoken in it.
00:39:04.320 -->
00:39:04.559Yeah.
00:39:04.960 -->
00:39:06.480It earned eight awards.
00:39:06.719 -->
00:39:07.199Crazy.
00:39:07.440 -->
00:39:07.760That year.
00:39:07.840 -->
00:39:08.000Yeah.
00:39:08.079 -->
00:39:08.320Yeah.
00:39:08.800 -->
00:39:10.079Sam, what else did you have for research?
00:39:10.320 -->
00:39:11.760Well, you kind of took mine away from me.
00:39:11.840 -->
00:39:12.800Um when you're sorry.
00:39:12.880 -->
00:39:13.920No, no, not you, Mike.
00:39:14.159 -->
00:39:14.559Um sorry.
00:39:14.719 -->
00:39:16.079Oh, I'm I'm not sorry.
00:39:16.400 -->
00:39:16.960Good.
00:39:17.280 -->
00:39:27.519Um so they were in the middle of divorcing the same week, actually, that the others was released, um, was when Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise actually finalized their divorce.
00:39:27.679 -->
00:39:28.079Wow.
00:39:28.320 -->
00:39:33.920And uh, of course, it Tom Cruise executive produced, like you mentioned, and it was the last collaboration between the two of them.
00:39:34.159 -->
00:39:40.079But I'm curious because they have two adopted kids together that would have been similar ages, like they would have been kind of young.
00:39:40.159 -->
00:39:48.000I think they were like mid-90s or early 90s, if that had anything to do with her having difficulty playing the part, like if that kind of hit it a different way, too.
00:39:48.239 -->
00:39:50.320Yeah, and then of course they're killing their yeah.
00:39:50.400 -->
00:39:55.199So I'm wondering if that like because that would for me be like oh yeah absolutely Jesus.
00:39:55.519 -->
00:39:56.079That's it for me.
00:39:56.239 -->
00:40:05.920All right, I just have that the blind medium is a reference to Don't Look Now, which is a film that we've done on this podcast, and international titles, nothing great.
00:40:06.079 -->
00:40:09.199Croatia get in, which I don't know.
00:40:09.440 -->
00:40:13.679What that doesn't yeah, get in the house, like what or get out of the house.
00:40:13.920 -->
00:40:18.719I was just picturing like a cocking guy, like get in, like see that girl over there.
00:40:18.880 -->
00:40:20.000Oh, yeah, get in.
00:40:20.239 -->
00:40:21.199Just doesn't work.
00:40:21.519 -->
00:40:25.920No, no, Serbia spirits within us, Taiwan.
00:40:26.079 -->
00:40:36.159Weirdly, sixth sense was the translation of their yeah, and like I thought, like, well, maybe this is a mistranslation, but yeah, the Mandarin characters translate to sixth sense.
00:40:36.400 -->
00:40:36.800Crazy.
00:40:36.960 -->
00:40:40.719Yeah, and then Vietnam, I love this house full of ghosts.
00:40:41.280 -->
00:40:43.199Yeah, that's on the nose, isn't it?
00:40:43.280 -->
00:40:46.960Yeah, which I mean it kind of gives away, but then that spoils it, right?
00:40:47.039 -->
00:40:54.559Like that that reveal I guess it does and it doesn't because like is it Nicole Kidman's experiencing a house full of ghosts, or they're the ghosts in the house?
00:40:54.800 -->
00:40:55.519I guess, yeah, yeah.
00:40:55.599 -->
00:40:58.159But yeah, it's a bit more of a giveaway.
00:40:58.320 -->
00:40:58.639Yeah.
00:40:59.119 -->
00:41:04.000All right, it's time to figure out where this movie sits on our watchability scale.
00:41:04.159 -->
00:41:05.440I will go first.
00:41:06.079 -->
00:41:16.239And for me, I know that we've said this is kind of a one and done, or once you know the twist, it doesn't hit as hard, but it still is a very enjoyable film.
00:41:16.400 -->
00:41:19.679Yeah, I think if you haven't seen it, it's an eight.
00:41:19.840 -->
00:41:21.360If you have, it's a seven.
00:41:21.599 -->
00:41:23.360So I think I'm gonna give it the seven.
00:41:23.440 -->
00:41:30.480I think it is a very good film, it is very well done, but suffers for the rewatch, the ability to rewatch it or view it again.
00:41:31.119 -->
00:41:32.000Sam, what about you?
00:41:32.239 -->
00:41:33.679I'm gonna go a little bit higher.
00:41:33.920 -->
00:41:34.960I'm gonna give it an eight.
00:41:35.119 -->
00:41:35.760I think it's really good.
00:41:36.239 -->
00:41:36.480Excellent.
00:41:36.559 -->
00:41:36.719Thanks.
00:41:36.800 -->
00:41:37.119Chad.
00:41:37.280 -->
00:41:40.239So mine I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of take your.
00:41:40.320 -->
00:41:42.480If you haven't seen it, I think it's a nine.
00:41:42.639 -->
00:41:44.079If you have, it's an eight.
00:41:44.480 -->
00:41:44.800Yeah.
00:41:44.960 -->
00:41:48.719So I remember loving this film when I first watched it.
00:41:49.119 -->
00:41:50.960So I I think, yeah.
00:41:51.119 -->
00:41:53.519If you haven't seen it, definitely seek it out.
00:41:53.679 -->
00:41:56.000If you have, it is a good rewatch.
00:41:56.159 -->
00:42:02.159Yeah, because I was engaged the whole time, even though the I knew the reveal, I still really, really enjoyed watching it again.
00:42:02.239 -->
00:42:04.239Yeah, so are you gonna go nine or eight?
00:42:04.320 -->
00:42:04.559Nine?
00:42:04.719 -->
00:42:05.280I'll go nine.
00:42:05.440 -->
00:42:05.679Nine?
00:42:05.760 -->
00:42:05.840Okay.
00:42:06.400 -->
00:42:07.199All right, awesome.
