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, 00:33:40.420 --> 00:33:43.160 everyone, help out our algorithm by liking, following, 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:46.400 and subscribing to us on Facebook, X, Instagram, 00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:50.619 TikTok, Threads, YouTube, and Slasher.
