weekend of camping. Intended to break Scott out

of his post -breakup depression quickly turns

into a weekend of bloodshed as his friends are
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.540
picked off one by one by the urban legend that
00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:25.459
haunts the very woods they're in. But first,

this morning, my beard an absolute nightmare.
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.700

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:37.280

So do you like true crime stories, but with a
00:02:10.689 --> 00:02:12.330
little bit of a twist, a little bit of comedy
00:02:12.330 --> 00:02:15.789
added in there, and a lot of personal opinion?
00:02:16.310 --> 00:02:18.870
How about you, Jen? I do. Okay, because it took

tell us what you think. We look forward to hearing
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.819
from you. 30 Screams or Less starts now. Corey,
00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:38.379
what did you think of Death Woods? I'll be honest,
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.620
the trailer made this look like absolute nonsense,
00:02:40.819 --> 00:02:43.219
so naturally we decided to dedicate an entire
00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:45.719
episode to it. I went in expecting something
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.039
we'd laugh at for 90 minutes and then spend the
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.889
review absolutely destroying. Somehow, that terrible
00:02:50.889 --> 00:02:53.469
decision completely paid off. This was gory,
00:02:53.650 --> 00:02:56.250
campy, suspenseful, and way more entertaining
00:02:56.250 --> 00:02:58.710
than the trailer had any right to suggest. It
00:02:58.710 --> 00:03:00.710
knew where to embrace the ridiculousness without
00:03:00.710 --> 00:03:03.069
turning the entire movie into a joke, and it
00:03:03.069 --> 00:03:05.009
actually managed to build some legitimate tension
00:03:05.009 --> 00:03:07.150
along the way. Then the ending came along and
00:03:07.150 --> 00:03:09.550
completely caught me off guard, which I absolutely
00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:12.050
was not expecting. I went into this ready to
00:03:12.050 --> 00:03:14.189
talk an unreasonable amount of shit. Then the
00:03:14.189 --> 00:03:16.469
movie was actually good. Do filmmakers realize
00:03:16.469 --> 00:03:20.639
how inconvenient that is for us? It makes our
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.960
job so much harder. Fuck. I mean, shit. We're
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.599
just trying to have a good time here and make
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.340
jokes at director's expenses, but here they are
00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:33.300
putting out decent movies. Go fucking figure.
00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:36.199
Yeah. All right. Here we are. We got to commit
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.039
to the bit anyways. Yeah, it was a pretty fun
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.840
run -of -the -mill type slasher movie. Nothing
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.400
super fancy. Pretty good kills, though. And still,
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.439
you know, the camping vibe and the frigging house
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.539
in the woods and all that stuff. Your generic
00:03:52.539 --> 00:03:54.479
stuff, right? It's absolutely nothing new at
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.719
all. No, nothing. It was done well. It was done
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.120
very well. However, I need to get this off my
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.180
chest right at the beginning of this. Okay. The
00:04:02.180 --> 00:04:05.280
audio. What was wrong with the audio mix? It
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.060
was so bad, dude. No idea, man. I didn't want
00:04:07.060 --> 00:04:08.900
to blow the speakers out in my TV from turning
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:11.219
the shit up so loud. I had to turn the subtitles
00:04:11.219 --> 00:04:15.159
on. Yeah. I went subtitles as well because here's
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.339
my thought. Is that initially I was thinking
00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:19.740
that they were going with the Grindhouse type
00:04:19.740 --> 00:04:21.759
style. It seemed that way because they showed
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.399
like fake trailers at the beginning. Yeah. And
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:25.980
then they did that now your feature presentation
00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:29.579
thing just like Grindhouse. Yep. So yeah. Exactly.
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.600
So that was my initial thinking is that they're
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.740
going a real Grindhouse approach of you have
00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:38.879
the movie trailers, the sound kind of not great.
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.759
then you have like the scratchiness and all that
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.939
shit on the uh screen and i didn't get that feeling
00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:49.279
as i'm watching it so if that was like one of
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.839
their approaches initially i maybe it tapered
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.300
off or something because after a little while
00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:57.120
it started to seem like a pretty standard horror
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.720
movie nothing super crazy but that sound man
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.639
i agree at the beginning i was like what the
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.959
fuck is happening here because i was having a
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.579
hard time hearing some dialogue like the ambient
00:05:08.810 --> 00:05:13.290
such as maybe crickets chirping or ambient sound
00:05:13.290 --> 00:05:16.329
and stuff like that was almost overpowering the
00:05:16.329 --> 00:05:19.870
actual dialogue. I don't know if maybe the microphone
00:05:19.870 --> 00:05:22.389
wasn't held close enough to some of these actors,
00:05:22.509 --> 00:05:25.269
but especially that first scene where it's like
00:05:25.269 --> 00:05:27.490
those four people hanging out and they're talking
00:05:27.490 --> 00:05:30.949
and clearly the mic is like far away from one
00:05:30.949 --> 00:05:32.910
of them, like maybe it's too high, but that at
00:05:32.910 --> 00:05:35.870
some point as he stands up, it gets louder. So
00:05:35.870 --> 00:05:38.310
I'm thinking, okay, the person stood up. closer
00:05:38.310 --> 00:05:40.839
to the microphone. Yeah, he was too far away.
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.040
So as soon as he got closer, I'm like, okay,
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.360
now I can hear what he's saying, which obviously
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.040
being the sound guy, the boom guy, I think they're
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.959
called, you want to make sure you're trying to
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.300
like get in there, not get in the shot, but make
00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:54.139
sure you're getting as much sound as possible.
00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:57.740
And I think maybe he was just too high and it
00:05:57.740 --> 00:06:00.060
was just too out of range. Because of that, you
00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:02.579
had inconsistencies with audio. It had to be
00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:04.079
something like that. You had the parts where
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.040
like the score would kick in or you'd have like
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.600
those jump scare sounds and it would be so loud.
00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:11.000
and I'd be, like, grabbing my remote to turn
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.980
the volume down, and then the dialogue would
00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:15.439
kick back in, and I can't. I mean, my ears are
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.480
obviously blown out from going to shows for 20
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.939
years, but I don't know what was up with the
00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:22.160
mix. Yeah, I don't know. I thought there was
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.139
a lot of wavering. You've got to think that,
00:06:24.220 --> 00:06:26.220
like, when they watch this in post, they could
00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:28.660
have enhanced it somehow, but I don't know. I'm
00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:31.439
not a filmmaker, which is fine. So here's my
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.199
thought process, too, is like being in a band
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.319
recording. You can record in a studio and you
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.459
hear it through the speakers and it sounds amazing.
00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:42.319
Right. But the thing is, you need to test the
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.120
audio on different devices and make sure that
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.519
it sounds good, because for anything, they could
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.100
have mixed this movie in a studio with really
00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:54.550
good sound. And they're like. you know, very
00:06:54.550 --> 00:06:56.610
expensive speakers and looking at this shit and
00:06:56.610 --> 00:06:58.610
they're like, okay, this sounds great. And then
00:06:58.610 --> 00:07:01.129
you have it on like just a regular home TV or
00:07:01.129 --> 00:07:05.050
something. And you're like, Ooh, that's not as
00:07:05.050 --> 00:07:08.069
crisp as it should be. And so they maybe didn't
00:07:08.069 --> 00:07:10.610
master it properly. I don't know, but I know
00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:12.850
that's usually the case with us bands. We want
00:07:12.850 --> 00:07:15.250
to actually listen to it on different devices.
00:07:15.370 --> 00:07:17.189
We want to listen to it in the car. We want to
00:07:17.189 --> 00:07:19.670
listen to it on headphones, listen to it in speakers,
00:07:19.889 --> 00:07:23.790
make sure it's a consistent mix all around. And
00:07:23.790 --> 00:07:25.970
I don't know if maybe that was missed, but the
00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:28.949
audio is a little funky. Honestly, that's probably
00:07:28.949 --> 00:07:33.209
the only real downside about this movie is the
00:07:33.209 --> 00:07:36.029
audio. The audio is the problem. 100%. And I'm
00:07:36.029 --> 00:07:38.069
not going to get to my rating yet, but the sound
00:07:38.069 --> 00:07:40.310
hurt my rating, my final rating. And that's the
00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:42.569
only thing that hurt it. Yeah, I get it. If it's
00:07:42.569 --> 00:07:44.329
not obvious what it's going to be at this point
00:07:44.329 --> 00:07:45.889
since you've been talking about it so much and
00:07:45.889 --> 00:07:48.189
basically ranting about it for 10 minutes, but
00:07:48.189 --> 00:07:50.329
other than that. I mean, we've been ranting about
00:07:50.329 --> 00:07:52.550
the audio, but what we haven't been ranting about
00:07:52.550 --> 00:07:55.269
is the cinematography. I thought the cinematography
00:07:55.269 --> 00:07:57.889
was great. I did have a little bit of a gripe
00:07:57.889 --> 00:08:01.709
though with the color grading. So very faded
00:08:01.709 --> 00:08:04.350
look to it. I thought like maybe if they chose
00:08:04.350 --> 00:08:06.790
a different kind of like coloring to it, it could
00:08:06.790 --> 00:08:08.930
have made it pop more. Like it didn't have to
00:08:08.930 --> 00:08:11.209
have that flat type look to it. I understand
00:08:11.209 --> 00:08:13.350
what you're saying, but I also feel like that
00:08:13.350 --> 00:08:15.389
might have been intentional because they're hitting
00:08:15.389 --> 00:08:18.649
that 80s mark, that 80s slasher mark, just like
00:08:18.649 --> 00:08:22.750
Friday the 13th did the same thing, right? 80s,
00:08:22.750 --> 00:08:25.910
90s movies, that washed out look, colors aren't
00:08:25.910 --> 00:08:28.110
bright kind of thing. I feel like that was intentional.
00:08:28.430 --> 00:08:30.790
Corey, you make a good point is that they were
00:08:30.790 --> 00:08:34.190
trying to maybe make this seem more like the
00:08:34.190 --> 00:08:37.740
80s because obviously. This screams 80s. If you
00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:40.159
think about it, you know, with the cabin and
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.940
the campers and the, like, woods, skinny dipping,
00:08:44.179 --> 00:08:47.700
alcohol, drugs, everything. Throwing them all
00:08:47.700 --> 00:08:49.779
in there. It started, like, right away, too.
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.919
Yeah, no, they weren't fucking around. It was
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.059
just like, zero to 60, here's all the horror
00:08:55.059 --> 00:08:58.179
tropes, right? And, yeah, maybe they just wanted
00:08:58.179 --> 00:09:00.600
to have that look. And I was kind of thinking
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:04.029
they wanted to have, like... The screen look
00:09:04.029 --> 00:09:06.549
almost like that real faded look. Like hypothetically,
00:09:06.590 --> 00:09:08.830
you're watching a movie that was recorded by
00:09:08.830 --> 00:09:11.889
some fucking dude who is recording the movie
00:09:11.889 --> 00:09:14.529
with a camera. That kind of look. Really fucking
00:09:14.529 --> 00:09:18.370
faded. Really bad sound quality. Bootlegging
00:09:18.370 --> 00:09:21.070
a movie theater movie? Like bootleg. Like maybe
00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:23.570
a bootleg look. I don't know. Yeah. So I'm like,
00:09:23.669 --> 00:09:25.549
oh, you know, you're walking down the street
00:09:25.549 --> 00:09:27.529
and some guy's selling DVDs and you're like,
00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:31.870
oh, Deathwoods. Okay. I'll check it out. 20 bucks.
00:09:32.330 --> 00:09:35.110
It's clearly a CD that's just ripped, or DVD
00:09:35.110 --> 00:09:37.909
that's ripped. It's got fucking Sharpie marker
00:09:37.909 --> 00:09:40.470
on it. CD -R. CD -R, all that shit. Yeah, exactly.
00:09:40.789 --> 00:09:43.009
Kids these days will never know. They will never
00:09:43.009 --> 00:09:45.950
know. Everything is digital to them. They fucking
00:09:45.950 --> 00:09:48.950
don't know that good shit. I still collect it.
00:09:49.029 --> 00:09:50.570
I still, I'm sorry, I don't collect digital.
00:09:50.610 --> 00:09:53.110
That makes no sense. We lease digital. I still
00:09:53.110 --> 00:09:55.730
collect physical, because down with the man,
00:09:55.870 --> 00:09:57.870
I guess. I don't know. Yeah, you got a sweet
00:09:57.870 --> 00:10:01.210
find this week. Yeah, I did. What a fucking find,
00:10:01.210 --> 00:10:04.730
huh? Holy shit. Did you watch it? Not yet, because
00:10:04.730 --> 00:10:06.809
yesterday I was focused on doing stuff around
00:10:06.809 --> 00:10:09.289
the house and watching this movie in time for
00:10:09.289 --> 00:10:11.909
the podcast. But I want to check to make sure
00:10:11.909 --> 00:10:17.289
it works. If it works, well spent $3 to buy Dogma
00:10:17.289 --> 00:10:23.610
on DVD. That movie's hard to find. Apparently
00:10:23.610 --> 00:10:27.809
the Blu -ray version is a fucking relic that's
00:10:27.809 --> 00:10:30.750
just super hard to find that you have to pay
00:10:30.750 --> 00:10:33.509
out the ass to get it. The one that I have, that
00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:36.470
Dogman DVD that I bought, that is a really interesting
00:10:36.470 --> 00:10:39.409
looking DVD. I don't even know if it's probably
00:10:39.409 --> 00:10:41.710
eligible in our region. Maybe that's why they
00:10:41.710 --> 00:10:43.809
fucking got rid of it. Maybe it's like an overseas
00:10:43.809 --> 00:10:45.570
version. I don't know. Region lock or whatever.
00:10:45.830 --> 00:10:48.379
Yeah, region lock. We'll see. Worst case scenario,
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.620
rip it and like on my fucking DVD player and
00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:54.559
we'll see what happens. I don't know. But yeah,
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.259
sometimes you can find some decent stuff. I almost
00:10:57.259 --> 00:10:59.860
picked up the movie Tomcats, which is like fucking
00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:03.799
one of those sex rom com type movies that came
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.960
out in the 90s. It's a stupid movie and I enjoy
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.080
it. Sometimes it needs to turn my brain off,
00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:11.740
Corey, because all I do is fucking think and
00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:15.480
it's exhausting. My brain is exhausting. Mm hmm.
00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:19.120
I hear that. Yeah. i feel it oh yeah okay good
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.159
we're on the same page let's get back into it
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.200
because we don't need to go into a whole fucking
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:31.000
spiel about my mindset i guess okay so back to
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.899
the movie here so there was a scene and you know
00:11:32.899 --> 00:11:35.019
that group of people i don't know if you know
00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:37.320
who these people were but the the hillbilly people
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.990
from like that restaurant yeah Did you know who,
00:11:40.049 --> 00:11:42.669
there was one guy, I knew, I recognized him right
00:11:42.669 --> 00:11:45.850
away and I had to go to IMDB. Nathan Mowry. Do
00:11:45.850 --> 00:11:47.730
you know who that is? No, but that name sounds
00:11:47.730 --> 00:11:51.769
familiar. You've seen him wrestle before. Have
00:11:51.769 --> 00:11:55.490
I? Yeah, he's a deathmatch wrestler. Wait a second.
00:11:55.649 --> 00:11:58.610
Hold on. He does a lot of the ICW shows that
00:11:58.610 --> 00:12:03.500
we go to. Really? Yeah. Oh, shit. You know, you
00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:05.679
mentioned the name. I'm like, that sounds familiar.
00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:07.840
I feel like I've heard that. Let me look it up.
00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:11.019
Nathan. Actually, no, he's not Nathan Mowry on
00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:13.080
here. What was his name on here? No, it was.
00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:15.100
I think his is a real name. So if you click,
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.779
you're talking about IMDB. Yeah, I am. So if
00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:19.399
you do that and you scroll towards, so click
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.559
top cast. Yeah. And then scroll towards the bottom.
00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:26.110
Nathan Mowry is Earl. Okay. And now go on Google
00:12:26.110 --> 00:12:28.049
and just type Nathan Mallory wrestler and like
00:12:28.049 --> 00:12:30.970
images. Oh, yeah. Look at that. He's in the Fozzy
00:12:30.970 --> 00:12:36.309
Judas video. Fozzy Painless video. And I'm too
00:12:36.309 --> 00:12:38.629
old for this shit. Heavy metal fairy tale. Okay.
00:12:38.730 --> 00:12:42.169
Let's see what. Yeah. Okay. I do recognize him.
00:12:42.289 --> 00:12:47.210
Holy shit. Wow. Good for you, Nathan. Going from
00:12:47.210 --> 00:12:49.990
deathmatch wrestling to acting, not bad. He's
00:12:49.990 --> 00:12:51.970
also, I was looking at it, I think his ex -account,
00:12:51.970 --> 00:12:54.230
too, also states that he's a director, I believe.
00:12:54.269 --> 00:12:56.549
So I don't know what he's directed. Keep him
00:12:56.549 --> 00:12:58.450
busy, for sure. I thought for sure when I saw
00:12:58.450 --> 00:13:00.029
that, I'm like, he directed this, didn't he?
00:13:00.149 --> 00:13:03.230
No. No, definitely not. But anyways, yeah, Nathan
00:13:03.230 --> 00:13:05.950
Mowry, deathmatch legend. So if you've never
00:13:05.950 --> 00:13:08.870
gone to deathmatch wrestling, it's a good time.
00:13:08.990 --> 00:13:11.490
If you can stomach it, it's a good time. The
00:13:11.490 --> 00:13:13.870
grossest thing I've ever seen, Corey, was the
00:13:13.870 --> 00:13:16.830
guy got hit in the head with a wiffle ball bat
00:13:16.830 --> 00:13:21.289
that has like thumbtacks all over it. Oh, I love
00:13:21.289 --> 00:13:23.629
that. Thumbtack Mohawks. Yeah, the thumbtack.
00:13:23.629 --> 00:13:26.190
Well, it wasn't that. He got hit in the top of
00:13:26.190 --> 00:13:29.769
the head and it was a geyser. It just like spurted.
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:32.769
You were at that show. I know. That was Matt
00:13:32.769 --> 00:13:36.090
Tremont. Yes, Matt Tremont. The audible from
00:13:36.090 --> 00:13:40.330
everyone in the room was definite because everyone
00:13:40.330 --> 00:13:44.830
was like, Jesus, like what is happening? It was
00:13:44.830 --> 00:13:47.870
brutal. That was very, very brutal. But they
00:13:47.870 --> 00:13:50.669
are just fucking carnies. They are fucking nuts.
00:13:50.970 --> 00:13:54.070
Wrestlers are bonkers. But I thought it was cool
00:13:54.070 --> 00:13:56.129
that he got to do this film and they had a pretty
00:13:56.129 --> 00:13:58.559
prominent role, you know, until. They all get
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.840
clipped. So we witness that whole initial death
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.720
scene. We lose that first crew. Yeah. And then
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.960
we meet the new cast. Right. And I love how they
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.000
get to the camp and the guy, as soon as he starts
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.879
taking all their cell phones, I'm like, well,
00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:13.659
we all know they're going to be in trouble at
00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:15.100
some point now and they're not going to be able
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:16.860
to call anybody because the cell phones are all
00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:19.980
in fucking freezer bags. Of course. Of course.
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:25.220
So. I do have one gripe about that is that clearly,
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.259
okay, I think that was Kyle. Kyle took everyone's
00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:31.000
phones and threw them in a bag, probably brought
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.879
them in the car. Now, I'm thinking to myself,
00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:35.840
as they're being pursued and they're supposed
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.480
to be running back to the car, why didn't someone
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.320
go back to the car and fucking grab one of those
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.860
phones? One of them has to be still working.
00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:47.419
Out of the five of them? No, the four of them.
00:14:47.419 --> 00:14:49.419
Out of the four of them, there has to be. No,
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:51.879
six of them. Out of the six of them. There has
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.200
to be one phone that's still got somewhat of
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.539
a charge on it. You will never know. Actually,
00:14:56.580 --> 00:15:00.559
we might. Maybe. Oh, yes, maybe. Yeah, because
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.379
it was an open -ended ending. We'll just say
00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:06.720
that. But I want to talk about one thing, though.
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:09.460
The deaths. I got to tell you, there were so
00:15:09.460 --> 00:15:12.500
many fucking deaths in this movie. Oh, I know.
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.100
And they all looked great. Yeah. They weren't
00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:18.039
like... So this could be considered an indie
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.740
movie, right? Right. Typically, budget's just
00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:23.419
not there for indie movies, but they made all
00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:25.659
these kills look really good. There was one that
00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:27.620
I really liked was the axe to the top of the
00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:30.700
head. Oh, the split in half type deal? Like log
00:15:30.700 --> 00:15:33.139
splitting. Yeah. Top of the head. It just looked
00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:35.480
so good. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was great. There
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.100
was like buckets of blood in this movie. Mm -hmm.
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.669
One of... The one kill that had me like, oh,
00:15:42.690 --> 00:15:48.509
fuck, was the girl that was bent over. Oh, yeah.
00:15:48.830 --> 00:15:51.269
What was that? Was it a crowbar? No, that was
00:15:51.269 --> 00:15:54.850
a machete. A machete. Yep. Straight in. I'm like,
00:15:55.009 --> 00:16:00.590
oh, God. Yeah. Whoa. That was brutal. Yep. There
00:16:00.590 --> 00:16:03.110
is no coming back from that one. No. You know,
00:16:03.110 --> 00:16:06.220
there was this one. kill that just made no sense
00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:08.820
to me though this guy that was just hanging out
00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:11.960
in the woods you know the big bearded guy he's
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.159
like the hunter type hanging out in the woods
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.620
i honestly thought that he was going to be like
00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:19.320
the main protagonist like the guy that's been
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.799
chasing the killer all this time and he was going
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.919
to get into this big battle with them and like
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.620
the people that were camping would get away or
00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:29.519
try to get away and he would eventually die at
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.460
some point or completely incapacitated to the
00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:34.649
point where he's Almost dead, but he's still
00:16:34.649 --> 00:16:36.710
alive and he comes back and does one final kill
00:16:36.710 --> 00:16:39.269
or takedown of the killer type thing. Almost
00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:41.990
like in Jason X, where you have that one security
00:16:41.990 --> 00:16:44.570
guard who's fighting Jason and Jason stabs him
00:16:44.570 --> 00:16:46.629
and he comes back at the end and fucking knocks
00:16:46.629 --> 00:16:51.730
Jason into space. That sounded so dumb. Come
00:16:51.730 --> 00:16:53.509
on, that movie is... Pushed him right out the
00:16:53.509 --> 00:16:56.409
door. Yeah, because... Oh, do you remember the
00:16:56.409 --> 00:16:59.009
part in Jason... X, Jason 10, whatever you want
00:16:59.009 --> 00:17:02.610
to call it, where Jason is flying towards the
00:17:02.610 --> 00:17:05.869
ship that is trying to get away. He's fighting
00:17:05.869 --> 00:17:08.990
gravity. Yeah, he's just defying gravity, defying
00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:12.809
all sorts of gravity in space. And as he's flying
00:17:12.809 --> 00:17:15.710
towards this other ship, you have the one security
00:17:15.710 --> 00:17:18.289
guard guy, and he comes from the side and grabs
00:17:18.289 --> 00:17:21.329
Jason and just gets launched into space, falling
00:17:21.329 --> 00:17:24.569
to Earth and burning Jason up. Through the atmosphere.
00:17:24.970 --> 00:17:26.730
That's what I'm talking about. Like that kind
00:17:26.730 --> 00:17:29.289
of guy. You know, the guy who has this big boss
00:17:29.289 --> 00:17:33.329
battle type deal. And that death went so fast.
00:17:33.589 --> 00:17:36.250
There was no fight whatsoever. He comes out and
00:17:36.250 --> 00:17:38.329
he's like, I'm going to kill you for killing
00:17:38.329 --> 00:17:40.970
my family, blah, blah, blah. And then the killer
00:17:40.970 --> 00:17:45.000
just one shot fucking kills him. Oh, okay. Just
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.660
knocks him down. Bearded man, right? Yep. So
00:17:47.660 --> 00:17:49.640
that was one of my gripes, too, actually, now
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:51.200
that you mention it, because he kind of was a
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.819
useless character. Yes. We see him several times.
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.940
Yep. Yeah, and then you see him in that final
00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:58.380
scene, and he just gets ripped apart by the killer.
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.059
Right away. It happened so fast. It was almost
00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:03.819
a pointless character to be in the movie. He
00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:05.720
seemed like he was going to be a big pivotal
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.279
character. Right. But then nothing came of it
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:10.539
whatsoever. Yeah. And then like, I thought maybe,
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:12.940
so we get sort of a, well, we don't know it's
00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:14.779
her at the time, but we get the flashback of
00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:17.480
Phyllis Rose's character and the husband. Did
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.440
we know that was Jessica at the time, the little
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.619
girl? No. Okay. I don't think they actually mentioned
00:18:22.619 --> 00:18:26.319
it. So they talk about Dawson, this kid Dawson,
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.130
who's this, what? this child that they had that
00:18:29.130 --> 00:18:30.990
they abandoned or something like that. Yeah.
00:18:31.109 --> 00:18:35.849
He was a child through a previous marriage. Nope.
00:18:35.950 --> 00:18:38.569
That's what it was. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But she
00:18:38.569 --> 00:18:41.369
mentions that he survived and I'm like, all right,
00:18:41.450 --> 00:18:43.839
I know where the killer is. Yeah. That's what's
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:46.180
going to happen. Nope. Nope. Not going to spoil
00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:48.559
it. But still, I had a feeling at the beginning
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:50.160
that that's the kind of the route that they were
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.279
going. They were like planting the seeds right
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.599
there that Dawson survived and he was still living
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.640
in the woods like, you know. Yeah, exactly. Or
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.319
it could have been something like, oh, no, I'm
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:02.500
not going to give it away. I'm not going to talk
00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:04.799
about it. So, Corey, I got to talk about this
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.599
because if there's one thing that people should
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.180
know from horror movies is you just don't go
00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:14.779
into fucking abandoned houses. You think so,
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.740
right? You would think so. But these people don't
00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:20.160
watch movies. They don't know. I guess not. Because
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.019
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a clear indicator
00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:25.859
of don't fucking go into someone else's house
00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:29.279
that you think is abandoned and you're actually
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:31.700
looking around to find someone. You don't just
00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:33.960
walk into someone's house and go, hey, is anyone
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.569
here? If someone entered my apartment right now
00:19:38.569 --> 00:19:40.509
and be like, hey, is anyone here? You better
00:19:40.509 --> 00:19:42.829
believe I'm pouncing. And you don't know who's
00:19:42.829 --> 00:19:44.910
going to pounce. Like Leatherface. Leatherface
00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:47.049
comes out of fucking nowhere. Leatherface comes
00:19:47.049 --> 00:19:49.309
out of the basement. Yeah, and grabs you and
00:19:49.309 --> 00:19:52.150
that's it. You're fucking toast. And they just
00:19:52.150 --> 00:19:54.509
kept going into this house. Everyone that went
00:19:54.509 --> 00:19:57.329
into this house died without fail. Every single
00:19:57.329 --> 00:20:02.619
time. Fucking ridiculous. I was just thinking
00:20:02.619 --> 00:20:06.019
to myself, stop going in. It was so funny when
00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:07.559
they went in there at one point and then you
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.099
see like all the bodies all over the place. Yeah.
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:12.039
Like people that we've never met before. So obviously
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:13.700
there's people that have been killing each other,
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:16.059
killing people for a while. Exactly. There's
00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:18.660
just fucking bodies all over the house. It looked
00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:20.980
like John Wayne Gacy's house. Oh, it was bad.
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.940
The kill is probably like another, like he's
00:20:23.940 --> 00:20:26.599
fucking stacking them up like dead mice or something
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.500
because it just kept happening every single time.
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:31.619
You know what? What I found funny, though, that
00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:34.980
deathmatch wrestling guy. So the killer stabbed
00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:37.619
him in the brain. Just right in the top of the
00:20:37.619 --> 00:20:40.759
head. Right in the head. And he's fighting him
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.960
still. Like, he's struggling. I'm like, you know,
00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:45.660
that's something a deathmatch wrestler would
00:20:45.660 --> 00:20:48.900
do. Yeah, but isn't that like insta -death? It
00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:51.779
should be. Or is it just nerves at that point?
00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:54.299
Yeah, nerves. Because there was someone in this
00:20:54.299 --> 00:20:57.019
movie that got beheaded. Was it their eyes were
00:20:57.019 --> 00:20:59.339
still blinking? yeah the eyes were still blinking
00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:02.740
and stuff and i think that's possible i mean
00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:05.170
i haven't seen any decapitated heads or anything
00:21:05.170 --> 00:21:08.029
like that but i think it's possible that the
00:21:08.029 --> 00:21:09.990
body is still moving like the nerves are still
00:21:09.990 --> 00:21:12.569
fucking going crazy so if anything you know it's
00:21:12.569 --> 00:21:15.309
possible the eyes are still moving around whether
00:21:15.309 --> 00:21:18.509
the eyes are still seeing their head on the side
00:21:18.509 --> 00:21:20.630
because the brain is still technically alive
00:21:20.630 --> 00:21:24.430
for a couple seconds i don't know right i'm not
00:21:24.430 --> 00:21:26.890
a scientist i don't know exactly how it goes
00:21:26.890 --> 00:21:29.869
but can you imagine let's say you get decapitated
00:21:29.869 --> 00:21:37.289
right Okay, go on. You get decapitated, thinking
00:21:37.289 --> 00:21:40.130
to yourself, fuck, this sucks. Like, you can't
00:21:40.130 --> 00:21:42.150
feel anything. The rest of your body's gone.
00:21:42.309 --> 00:21:45.390
But there's still that small little instance
00:21:45.390 --> 00:21:49.490
where your brain's like, not good, not good.
00:21:49.650 --> 00:21:52.170
And then your eyeballs are looking around, probably
00:21:52.170 --> 00:21:54.269
around real quick. And then, boom, you're toast.
00:21:54.410 --> 00:21:57.000
You're done. I would think that, okay, so it
00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.339
has to be like an instant cut. It can't be like
00:21:59.339 --> 00:22:02.519
this prolonged thing. Like if it was like a guillotine,
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:06.200
right? Guillotine, like things are still somewhat
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:08.960
in order in the brain. Not like we're talking
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:10.940
to hacking here. Nothing like that. You've already
00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:13.660
been gone at that point. But that would be pretty
00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:16.160
fucking awful. Your head's just rolled off to
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:18.500
the side. Can't do anything because you're just
00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:21.660
going to die in about 30 seconds. And that's
00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:26.549
it. I don't know. Do brains stay alive when decapitated?
00:22:26.710 --> 00:22:29.410
Someone answer the question. Hit us up on any
00:22:29.410 --> 00:22:31.210
sort of fucking social media platform. Let us
00:22:31.210 --> 00:22:33.269
know. Some scientist is going to chime in. Well,
00:22:33.410 --> 00:22:36.009
actually, you know what? I want that knowledge.
00:22:36.230 --> 00:22:39.930
Fuck yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Message us. Yeah,
00:22:40.049 --> 00:22:42.390
message us. Let us know. All that good stuff.
00:22:42.589 --> 00:22:44.509
We could just Google it, but it'd be way easier
00:22:44.509 --> 00:22:47.319
if you let us know. I'm not about to Google that
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:50.779
at all. I'm not about to ask ChatGPT. I'm not
00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:54.119
about to ask Google. We already looked up scalpels
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.160
on Amazon and Google to see if we can buy them.
00:22:58.259 --> 00:23:00.720
You did. I didn't. I did, yes. You're already
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.099
on a list. I'm already on a list for that. No,
00:23:03.220 --> 00:23:05.279
you're fine. I'm already on a list for that.
00:23:05.609 --> 00:23:07.670
I don't have any questionable stuff. Apparently,
00:23:07.670 --> 00:23:11.190
I do now, looking up scalpels. Now, if I look
00:23:11.190 --> 00:23:13.509
up decapitations, everybody's going to be like,
00:23:13.549 --> 00:23:15.130
you know, maybe we should pay attention to this
00:23:15.130 --> 00:23:18.029
guy a little bit. Maybe see what he's up to.
00:23:18.269 --> 00:23:20.230
Yeah. Of the two of us, you're the questionable
00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:23.150
one. I guess I am now. Shit. Okay. Well, I'm
00:23:23.150 --> 00:23:25.369
just fucking looking up to see if scalpels can
00:23:25.369 --> 00:23:28.690
buy. You can buy them on fucking Amazon or whatever.
00:23:28.930 --> 00:23:33.359
I'm intrigued. That's all. I'll just say it was
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:34.880
a school project. Yeah, what school do you go
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:39.500
to? I don't go to school. You say it with your
00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:41.180
head down just like that. I don't go to school.
00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:43.400
I don't go to school. My school days are over.
00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:45.880
Thank fucking goodness. I don't know. We'll see.
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.799
Maybe I'll go back. I doubt it. But yeah, I thought
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:50.720
this was a great movie. Had a good time watching
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.960
it. I didn't find myself bored or checked out
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:58.000
at any point. I did wonder why there was so much
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.380
hide and seek happening. The hide and seek scene?
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.579
Yeah, that really went on for a while. It did.
00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:07.099
What a concept, that version of hide and seek.
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.660
Yeah, I know. interesting because if you're caught
00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:13.160
you have a choice of doing truth or dare so it's
00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:15.720
like what do they call it like a meta game type
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.680
deal right fuck if i know fuck if i know so yeah
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:21.680
they're doing the whole uh meta thing where it's
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:24.079
like a game within a game so you could either
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:28.460
show your tits or answer a uh like a question
00:24:28.460 --> 00:24:31.299
whatever and or whip your schlong out what's
00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:33.240
that and or whip your schlong out exactly yeah
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.279
yeah so you could do that but most of the time
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:40.259
they opted for just Truth. Truth. That's it.
00:24:40.339 --> 00:24:42.920
So, like, okay. Well, except for Kyle. Kyle was
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:48.700
getting his from that one random girl. That was
00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:52.319
Julie. Yes. That was Julie. That's right. No,
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:54.660
that wasn't Julie. Julie was one of the four
00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:56.299
people that got killed at the very beginning.
00:24:56.420 --> 00:25:00.799
That one was... No, it was Julie. I'm wrong.
00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:03.759
You're right. Yes. Susie's the one that got killed
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:05.940
in the beginning. Thank you. Yep. Julie's the
00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:08.380
one that was making out with Kyle. Yeah. Thank
00:25:08.380 --> 00:25:10.740
you for clarifying that. But yes, Julie was making
00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:13.559
out with Kyle. And then was it not Michelle?
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:16.599
What's the other one? Jessica. Jessica. Catches
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.539
him. Catches him in the act. And I thought that
00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:21.940
was a weird dynamic anyways, because you can
00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:27.039
tell that Kyle was clearly checking out. My God,
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.539
just lost her name. I don't know why I'm having
00:25:29.539 --> 00:25:31.480
such a hard time with the names on this movie.
00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:35.759
Capronica? Yes, Capronica. No, not Capronica.
00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:39.599
Warily? No. You couldn't say those either. I
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:46.920
did. Caparoni. No, it's not Caparoni. Yes, Susie
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:50.019
was at the beginning. Julie. But Kyle is looking
00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:52.960
at this other girl, and he's clearly going out
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.549
with Julie. And you'd think Julie would be like,
00:25:55.609 --> 00:25:57.769
hey, would you cut the shit? Starting to look
00:25:57.769 --> 00:26:00.829
a little bit too much type deal. But no, apparently
00:26:00.829 --> 00:26:03.490
not. Whatever. Good movie, though. I had fun
00:26:03.490 --> 00:26:05.390
watching it. Honestly, I don't want to give too
00:26:05.390 --> 00:26:08.390
much away. I think we can just get into it. Unless
00:26:08.390 --> 00:26:09.829
there's something else you want to talk about.
00:26:09.910 --> 00:26:11.670
Otherwise, we can just go into our final review.
00:26:11.849 --> 00:26:13.690
No, we're good, man. I was invested in this,
00:26:13.730 --> 00:26:16.079
so I didn't take a bunch of notes. Yeah, I think
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:17.819
that's the only thing that just really fucking
00:26:17.819 --> 00:26:20.279
dragged on for a little while was that hide -and
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.859
-seek scene. By the way, I want to say hide -and
00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:26.039
-seek at night, pretty fun, but hide -and -seek
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.400
at night in the woods that you're not familiar
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:30.920
with, no bueno. Nope. I love how they're all
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.519
just hiding behind trees, too. Oh, yeah. Easy.
00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:36.930
Okay, when I was... younger early like teenager
00:26:36.930 --> 00:26:39.390
maybe even younger than teenager probably 12
00:26:39.390 --> 00:26:41.730
years old i'm gonna say that's probably the age
00:26:41.730 --> 00:26:45.789
my neighbors myself my brother and a few others
00:26:45.789 --> 00:26:49.509
would actually do tag at night like a mix of
00:26:49.509 --> 00:26:53.869
hide and seek tag And we would be fucking hardcore
00:26:53.869 --> 00:26:56.130
hiding in all sorts of random places. We'd be
00:26:56.130 --> 00:27:01.730
hiding under fucking sheds. And dumpsters. And
00:27:01.730 --> 00:27:03.829
dumpsters. There was one time there was a hole
00:27:03.829 --> 00:27:05.970
in the ground with a piece of wood over it. I
00:27:05.970 --> 00:27:08.630
fucking hid in there type deal. Yeah, we were
00:27:08.630 --> 00:27:10.910
hardcore with it. And we just did it kind of
00:27:10.910 --> 00:27:13.150
in like the neighborhood. And we were all over
00:27:13.150 --> 00:27:15.829
the place. Kids don't do that anymore. They don't
00:27:15.829 --> 00:27:17.410
play that anymore. They just hang out inside.
00:27:17.670 --> 00:27:19.789
We used to just throw rocks at each other and
00:27:19.789 --> 00:27:21.690
hit each other with sticks. Oh, kind of like
00:27:21.690 --> 00:27:22.769
that movie. And shoot each other with BB guns.
00:27:24.730 --> 00:27:27.009
Did you make out with them after? Kind of like
00:27:27.009 --> 00:27:29.910
that movie? What? The movie we just reviewed,
00:27:30.049 --> 00:27:32.130
Leviticus. Remember, they were throwing rocks
00:27:32.130 --> 00:27:33.250
at each other. Oh, yeah. And they started making
00:27:33.250 --> 00:27:36.299
out. No, there was none of that. None of that?
00:27:36.380 --> 00:27:38.799
Okay. No. You know what? Kids miss out these
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:40.799
days. Yeah, they just have freaking electronics
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:42.819
now, man. Your parents would kick you out of
00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:45.180
the house and you'd just go outside and drop
00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:47.779
penises in the dirt with sticks. Yeah. Or crack
00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:49.700
your head's friend open with a rock. Exactly.
00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:51.960
I did that a few times. Oh, yeah. We've all been
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:56.279
there. It was such a good time. And I always
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:58.920
had a good time hanging out with my friends until
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.440
like the street lights came on. That's when you
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:03.359
knew like you had to go home because we didn't
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:05.900
have cell phones that like we just relatively
00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:08.480
had at our disposal. Right. It was just like,
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:12.200
oh, lights are on. Time to head back. Got to
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:14.779
get ready for bed, take a bath, all that stuff,
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:17.500
and get ready for school in the morning. That's
00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:20.619
how it was. And, man, kids, they don't get to
00:28:20.619 --> 00:28:23.200
experience that. And I bet if they went back
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.859
in time and saw that, they would think it's stupid
00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:28.500
for a few minutes. And then they'd be like, wait
00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:30.900
a second. You mean to tell me that we're actually
00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:33.660
free to fucking do whatever we want and cause
00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:37.119
chaos and then go back home? Yes. All right.
00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:40.380
Yeah, that's how it was. Have a good time. Go
00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:42.920
out with your friends and do stuff outside and
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.619
then you go home. Man, that's unfortunate. You
00:28:45.619 --> 00:28:47.480
know, if I ever kids one day, I wish I could
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:50.640
do that. Let them fucking run amok till the streetlights
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:52.559
came on. But you can't do that anymore. There's
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.500
fucking diddlers everywhere. It's true. It's
00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:59.259
so true. It's not funny because it's true. It's
00:28:59.259 --> 00:29:02.960
it's not even me joking. It's true. Yeah. I would
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.460
look at, I remember for a little while, I had
00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:08.920
this monitoring service that would just monitor
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:11.279
everything for me. And it would give me notifications
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:13.799
of like, oh, hey, there's diddlers in your area.
00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:15.940
It'll announce a new diddler here and there.
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:20.240
When I was living at my old place, oh, I was
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.160
just surrounded. I'm like, this is fucking gross.
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:27.180
Yeah. Time to move. Yeah. And I did move. And
00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:29.759
they're still in the area. You can't escape them.
00:29:29.819 --> 00:29:32.920
They're everywhere. It is what it is, man. But
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:35.259
it's too bad. Too bad kids can't do that stuff
00:29:35.259 --> 00:29:37.740
anymore, but whatever. But enough of that. I
00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:40.119
think we should just go back into the movie and
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:42.819
talk about our final review. Corey, what do you
00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:45.279
give Deathwoods? A four out of five. I enjoyed
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:47.500
this a lot. This is proof that you can absolutely
00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:50.859
nail an 80s aesthetic in 2026 and actually make
00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:53.599
it believable. Is it original? not even remotely
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:55.859
we've seen the whole people go camping in the
00:29:55.859 --> 00:29:57.720
woods and everything goes horribly wrong set
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.119
up a thousand times but honestly that's probably
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.460
my favorite slasher setting so i'm an easy sell
00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:05.000
the score was great the cinematography looked
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.220
fantastic and they did a really good job building
00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:09.759
dread the acting was also surprisingly solid
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:12.200
across the board it takes a familiar formula
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:14.880
and just executes it really well which sometimes
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.660
is all i need from a slasher my biggest complaint
00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:20.230
which we've talked about was the audio mix and
00:30:20.230 --> 00:30:21.829
that's the only reason this isn't a five out
00:30:21.829 --> 00:30:23.750
of five for me i don't know what the hell was
00:30:23.750 --> 00:30:26.049
happening there but one minute the dialogue was
00:30:26.049 --> 00:30:28.549
ridiculously quiet and the next the movie was
00:30:28.549 --> 00:30:31.029
blowing my windows out I know my hearing isn't
00:30:31.029 --> 00:30:33.509
exactly pristine after 20 years of loud music,
00:30:33.589 --> 00:30:35.890
but this was bad enough that I eventually turned
00:30:35.890 --> 00:30:38.609
subtitles on. Yeah. When even my damaged metal
00:30:38.609 --> 00:30:41.210
show ears are questioning your audio mix, we
00:30:41.210 --> 00:30:43.970
might have a problem. Yeah, we definitely had
00:30:43.970 --> 00:30:47.109
a problem with the audio. I agree, man. But you're
00:30:47.109 --> 00:30:50.089
right. This is very run of the mill. You're pretty
00:30:50.089 --> 00:30:53.880
much standard slasher type movie. Now, I believe
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:57.160
it was Quentin Tarantino that once said, everything's
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.880
been done. You just tell it in your own different
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.099
way. And this is what it was. Everything's been
00:31:04.099 --> 00:31:06.700
told. We've seen it before. This was just told
00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:09.960
in a different manner. And that's fine. And we
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.680
enjoy our slasher movies. It's arguably our favorite
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:17.549
genre. for horror and a lot of times it's great
00:31:17.549 --> 00:31:19.009
but then every once in a while you have your
00:31:19.009 --> 00:31:22.509
duds this was luckily not a dud and with that
00:31:22.509 --> 00:31:25.390
i'm gonna go into my review now for me if we
00:31:25.390 --> 00:31:27.430
were still doing the point system like we were
00:31:27.430 --> 00:31:29.509
way back in the day i probably would have given
00:31:29.509 --> 00:31:31.930
this a three out of five but i'll be nice and
00:31:31.930 --> 00:31:34.269
round it up to a four out of five it was a fun
00:31:34.269 --> 00:31:37.190
slasher flick and honestly a quick watch at a
00:31:37.190 --> 00:31:40.829
soaking 83 minutes loved that perfect length
00:31:40.829 --> 00:31:44.920
too so short hour and 23 minutes And it's bonkers.
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:46.900
That's not something you hear of these days.
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.319
I was just talking to someone about Avatar, the
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.579
new one. I'm just like, I don't have half a workday
00:31:52.579 --> 00:31:56.329
to watch this movie. Yeah, I still haven't seen
00:31:56.329 --> 00:32:00.069
any of the new ones. It's three hours and I think
00:32:00.069 --> 00:32:04.049
43 minutes. That's so fucking long. You know,
00:32:04.170 --> 00:32:05.990
I sidetracked this a little bit. I was actually
00:32:05.990 --> 00:32:08.609
reviewing today. There's an anti -Elon Musk movie
00:32:08.609 --> 00:32:10.569
coming out that's going to be in theaters. It's
00:32:10.569 --> 00:32:13.430
four hours long. Oh, my God. What the hell are
00:32:13.430 --> 00:32:15.250
they saying for four hours? Well, he's done a
00:32:15.250 --> 00:32:19.170
lot of bad shit, so. All right. Okay. Wow. All
00:32:19.170 --> 00:32:21.029
right. But getting back into it. Tell you I'm
00:32:21.029 --> 00:32:23.220
not watching it. Yeah. I'm good. I'm not watching
00:32:23.220 --> 00:32:27.380
a four -hour movie on Elon Musk. I might watch
00:32:27.380 --> 00:32:31.039
a four -hour movie on Avatar. i might maybe split
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.480
it up in portions we'll see so yeah soaking wet
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:38.720
83 minutes it pretty much nailed all the slasher
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:42.259
prerequisites house cabin in the woods hillbilly
00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:46.299
element nudity alcohol and then the deaths though
00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:48.740
good nothing super special some of them like
00:32:48.740 --> 00:32:50.640
the one where we're talking about the machete
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.880
going in the girl that was intense but we've
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:55.819
seen these kind of kills before it doesn't make
00:32:55.819 --> 00:32:58.720
it bad by any means just pretty run of the mill
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.799
the sound throughout the movie could have used
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.619
some work as background elements and ambient
00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:06.759
sounds often overpowered the dialogue making
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.940
it hard to hear and that's why you and i we decided
00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:13.039
to just throw on those captions so if you're
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:14.579
gonna watch this movie throw on the captions
00:33:14.579 --> 00:33:17.500
also we talked about this before the color grading
00:33:17.500 --> 00:33:20.140
on it felt almost too faded would have been nice
00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:23.960
to see a more rich color but that's me nitpicking
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:27.200
and uh as we talked about probably aesthetically
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:30.440
on purpose that said the gore was good every
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:33.960
actor did really well in it and the overall cinematography
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:37.000
was pretty good if you want to watch death woods
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.420
you can watch it now on screen box All right,
