Speaker 1: So much. You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast.
Speaker 2: Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and borders
Speaker 2: that this podcast is recorded on from Mamma Mia. Welcome
Speaker 2: to the Spill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm Laura
Speaker 2: Brodnick and today I'm joined.
Speaker 1: By Ash London. Thank you for having me again. My love.
Speaker 2: So excited you hear, because we're talking about a topic
Speaker 2: very close to your heart, your broken heart, I should say,
Speaker 2: because I show that you love very much has recently,
Speaker 2: unexpectedly come to an end, and that has got us
Speaker 2: thinking about all the TV shows that we fell in
Speaker 2: love with that ended because they were canceled and on
Speaker 2: a cliffhanger. So we're going to get into that along
Speaker 2: with Weekend Watch. But first I understand that you have
Speaker 2: some important breaking news to share.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, one of the greatest things about the
Speaker 1: last couple of years is that eyebrows have come back
Speaker 1: into the forefront right. The bushy brow is back. We're
Speaker 1: not over plucking brow. Artists are now like superstar in
Speaker 1: their own right, and it's been a wonderful thing. I thought, though,
Speaker 1: we were done with the bleached eyebrow, Laura, I thought
Speaker 1: we were done. I thought we were past that. We
Speaker 1: had Kendall doing it, we had Julia Fox doing it
Speaker 1: in the past. But Lady Gaga, and this is very
Speaker 1: mid to late thirties of her. Because I do this
Speaker 1: as well, she's hopped on the bleached eyebrow train two
Speaker 1: years late. Have you seen the photos.
Speaker 2: I have seen the photos, and at first I was
Speaker 2: confused because I thought the same thing as you, that
Speaker 2: they were a throwback photo from over a year ago
Speaker 2: where the bleach brows had a moment, but that we
Speaker 2: quickly moved on from it. Thank god, she's bringing it
Speaker 2: back to It's almost like she's trying to be retro,
Speaker 2: but she's gone just a bit too soon.
Speaker 1: She needed at least another year or two to be
Speaker 1: retro technically ten years in this day and age will
Speaker 1: give her a year or two. I think she's showing
Speaker 1: her age, babe. Like I said, this is what I do.
Speaker 1: I watched the trend happen and I laugh at it,
Speaker 1: and then once it's over, I finally tried out and go, oh,
Speaker 1: I like this, yea exactly, this is just you know.
Speaker 1: And she is playing Harley Quinn in a film. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's something to do with that, just give it to her.
Speaker 1: For that reason. It's like it's a film thing.
Speaker 2: That movie is coming out, so we've seen some kind
Speaker 2: of leaked photos from the set. It's because it's a
Speaker 2: bit more of a dramatic take on Harley Quinn with
Speaker 2: Joaquin Phoenix. I don't think she'll be wearing the Margo
Speaker 2: Robbie outfit exactly. It'll be like a pared down version
Speaker 2: of that. But even so, for someone who's kind of
Speaker 2: known for like pushing the envelope with meat dresses and
Speaker 2: the crazy shoes she used to wear, so she was
Speaker 2: always like a little bit ahead of some of those,
Speaker 2: not even a head, just creating her own past. So
Speaker 2: it's a bit interesting now that she's gone that way.
Speaker 2: Must be something to do with the movie.
Speaker 1: Of course it is, And here we are talking about them,
Speaker 1: and she's got a new movie coming out, so maybe
Speaker 1: this is part of the with the great master plan?
Speaker 1: What can I do that hasn't been done? I've pretty
Speaker 1: much done everything. How about I just bleached my eyebrows
Speaker 1: and then it's working. So well done to you, gugs. So,
Speaker 1: as Laura mentioned, I am in morning at the moment.
Speaker 1: About two weeks into the morning period. And that is
Speaker 1: because my Lady Jane on Prime Video, which was a
Speaker 1: show I fell deeply in love with very quickly, has
Speaker 1: not been renewed, and it still doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 1: I'm currently on my third watch of the show. Only
Speaker 1: Oh you're the third watch. Now I'm on the third way.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll do a second I hadn't thought about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: did you love it? I did love it. Yeah. It
Speaker 2: took me while to get onto it because at first
Speaker 2: I thought like, oh, is it too much kind of
Speaker 2: historical drama, which is at my jam. But then when
Speaker 2: I kind of realized it had that romanticy fantasy element,
Speaker 2: I was like, sign me up. That is all I
Speaker 2: want to watch.
Speaker 1: Yes, And like sexual chemistry between those two characters like you.
Speaker 2: Which is make or breakthrough show, That's what I. Oh,
Speaker 2: that's all I care about.
Speaker 1: Like five minutes in after side, whether I want them
Speaker 1: to bang or not. I wanted them to bang. That
Speaker 1: wedding seed at the start. For those who haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: and this is not a spoiler because it happens in
Speaker 1: the first episode, she thinks she's marrying one guy, but
Speaker 1: it's actually his brother who she met last night. And
Speaker 1: had amazing sexual attension without a part, but doesn't realize
Speaker 1: that she's about to marry him the next day. And
Speaker 1: then at the freaking wedding, she gets to the end
Speaker 1: of the aisle and turns around, and You're like, and
Speaker 1: it's such a slow burn. It's so funny. If you
Speaker 1: like The Princess Bride, if you like The Great even
Speaker 1: if if you like bridgeton any of those films it references,
Speaker 1: it's so similar. I mean, I could just spend this
Speaker 1: whole episode just talking about talking about how much I
Speaker 1: love this show. But Prima said it's low viewership is
Speaker 1: the reason it got canned. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: real reason is. It can't be that, because I feel
Speaker 1: like this thing is just finding more fans daily.
Speaker 2: And I feel like the fandom has been so kind
Speaker 2: of broken hearted and talking about so much because they
Speaker 2: felt like it was canceled at a moment where it
Speaker 2: was kind of felt like it was supposed to kick
Speaker 2: into season two. Some shows feel one and done, whereas
Speaker 2: this did feel like it should have gone.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just a cliffhanger for like the main two
Speaker 1: love interests. Literally every character in this show's plot line
Speaker 1: ended on a cliffhanger and the fact that there are
Speaker 1: books and apparently the book's actually quite hard to find
Speaker 1: now because I think they only have a small run,
Speaker 1: and now all the fans of My Lady Jenna desperately
Speaker 1: on Amazon trying to get the I need to know
Speaker 1: what happened. But yes, it does really get open a
Speaker 1: wider conversation of shows that were canceled before their time
Speaker 1: at the Pinnacle at the point where we needed more.
Speaker 1: And the more I thought about it, the more I
Speaker 1: realized that over the year's Babe, we have been robbed.
Speaker 2: So many times. Yes, so many times. So many of
Speaker 2: my favorite shows, even things like Veronica Mars, which is
Speaker 2: one of my favorite shows, got canceled. I think it's
Speaker 2: when you know they got canceled without the writer's knowing,
Speaker 2: so obviously that came back cross series afterwards. Even shows
Speaker 2: like gial More Girls, people don't realize got canceled just
Speaker 2: because they put a safety net last episode in there.
Speaker 2: People don't realize that they got canceled in terms of canceled,
Speaker 2: like when they filmed that last episode, the writers and
Speaker 2: cars didn't know was the last episode. So it's like,
Speaker 2: would you have ended it like this, I don't know
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 1: Before I get into a couple of my favorites that
Speaker 1: were canceled, FYI, the following shows have been canceled, some
Speaker 1: at a good time, some perhaps prematurely. Yellowstone, we know
Speaker 1: that there's been some drama. Kevin Costner The Good Doctor,
Speaker 1: which has had twenty five seasons. Love that show after
Speaker 1: fourteen seasons. Blue Bloods is done with Tom Selleck, old Man,
Speaker 1: Young Sheldon, don't care. Did you ever see The Flight
Speaker 1: Attendant with Kaylee Koko?
Speaker 2: Yes? I watched the first season and it freaked me
Speaker 2: out a lot. I mean, even though I'm like I've
Speaker 2: never I'm like, I've never actually committed murder and covered
Speaker 2: it up, but I'm feeling quite tense that this could
Speaker 2: happen to me.
Speaker 1: You feel like that might happen to you, then you'll
Speaker 1: be stuck in a fine, very stressful Yeah, that's done,
Speaker 1: and kurb your enthusiasm finished. But if we're talking about
Speaker 1: ones before their time, and I don't know if you
Speaker 1: were across this show because it was a very long
Speaker 1: time ago. I want to hark back to nineteen ninety four,
Speaker 1: when Claire Danes and Jared Leto started a show called
Speaker 1: My So called Life. Do you have any memories of
Speaker 1: this show?
Speaker 2: But I didn't watch it then, but I've watched it.
Speaker 2: I think I found it like later on as like
Speaker 2: an elder teen and watched it back then and became
Speaker 2: obsessed with it like everyone else and so heartbroken that
Speaker 2: it was just there was the one season right.
Speaker 1: One season, one season so good, and it was like
Speaker 1: addressing topics that like teen shows were not talking about
Speaker 1: back then.
Speaker 2: My most toxic trait is that, even though I know
Speaker 2: how wildly problematic that man is, I find him even now,
Speaker 2: even now, Ash, I find him wildly hot.
Speaker 1: How can you not if we just got from a fable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even at the Mecca when he dresses a cat
Speaker 2: and he pulled the cat head off, and like, you
Speaker 2: know what, he's still hot.
Speaker 1: I don't make that wall still have sex with him.
Speaker 1: And he was a teenager in this show, and just
Speaker 1: the cheek, bones, the eyes, the skin, just absolutely stunning.
Speaker 1: I've got some audio here of Claire Danes years later,
Speaker 1: and she's next to I can't remember the actor's name.
Speaker 1: He is the guy that plays Sheldon in the NERD
Speaker 1: show Jim Something.
Speaker 2: Right that Jim Parsons. Do you mean from the Big
Speaker 2: Bang Theory. Yes, I'm not saying I'm a fan, but
Speaker 2: I know his name.
Speaker 1: Don't lie, no judgment. This is Claard End's talking about
Speaker 1: the show, the cancelation and a reboot.
Speaker 2: And I think it was maybe just a little too
Speaker 2: ahead of its time.
Speaker 1: Like Jim and his prophecies. Yeah, exactly. TV was so different.
Speaker 1: I mean it was well, I think it was kind
Speaker 1: of radical to be to have, you know, to be
Speaker 1: inside a teenage girl's brain like that, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now there's so many platforms that that could survive
Speaker 1: even if only ten people watched it for a couple
Speaker 1: of years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a very different environment. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm still very dear friends with Winnie Holds from the
Speaker 2: creator and actually many people involved with the show.
Speaker 1: So but I don't know, I probably not, but.
Speaker 2: I'm so grateful that it's had this this afterlife that
Speaker 2: it's had. Is it her voice so specific, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know that voice anywhere, right, It's so true.
Speaker 1: And Brom and Julie it happened, like, you know, a
Speaker 1: year off of the show, and it was a Mova
Speaker 1: clutter and she wasn't going back, but yeah, it was
Speaker 1: ahead of its time. If you're listening and you've never
Speaker 1: seen the show, you can get some episodes on YouTube.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's an official way.
Speaker 2: I feel like the whole series might be on Disney.
Speaker 2: Plus I feel like I'm going to watch. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: just think so telling that it's decades and we're still
Speaker 2: talking about that show, like that show still comes up
Speaker 2: in conversation all the time.
Speaker 1: And it was one one seasons an unbelievable scenes.
Speaker 2: We'll speaking of other things out a one season. I'm
Speaker 2: not saying this is the best show in the world,
Speaker 2: but out of all the shows that got canceled on
Speaker 2: a cliffhanger, this is the one that keeps me up
Speaker 2: at night the most because I was like, I just
Speaker 2: want to know. I don't even care if you make
Speaker 2: the whole show, just tell me what the twist was.
Speaker 2: And that was The Society on Netflix. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you ever watched that one. So it came out
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. So it's Catherine Newton, who is probably
Speaker 2: hard to book now that she's in the Marvel movies,
Speaker 2: but she was the star over then. But it was
Speaker 2: a big, big, ensemble cast of teams, and the idea
Speaker 2: was that they all went on this field trip. They
Speaker 2: live in a small little town in America, they go
Speaker 2: on a field trip, they come back late at night,
Speaker 2: and the whole town is empty. Everyone is gone, And
Speaker 2: then they can't leave the town, and so they have
Speaker 2: to kind of.
Speaker 1: Why can't they leave the town? Well, we don't know, Ash, we.
Speaker 2: Don't know, and we're never gonna know.
Speaker 1: What now annoyed. I didn't watch a second of it,
Speaker 1: and I'm angry about the canes, thank you.
Speaker 2: So then all of a sudden they can't leave this
Speaker 2: town to make their own society, and it gets like
Speaker 2: quite a little bit Lord of the Flies, where they're
Speaker 2: trying to set their own rules, but of course the
Speaker 2: rules of corruptora all the sort of stuff some them
Speaker 2: fall in love. There's for people who are abusing people.
Speaker 2: It's a whole thing. But there's this whole mystery of
Speaker 2: what happened to them, and it builds and builds and
Speaker 2: builds till the last episode where it flashes back to
Speaker 2: the real world and there's all these pictures of them
Speaker 2: up because they've gone missing in the real world. So
Speaker 2: it's like, where are they always that a twist. So
Speaker 2: it finished and it had super higher ratings. It was
Speaker 2: one of the victims of the writer's strike and all
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff that happened at the time. But
Speaker 2: the thing is, they had announced season two, they had
Speaker 2: confirmed it was happening, all the cast had signed on,
Speaker 2: and then they completely canceled it and there's no way
Speaker 2: they can bring it back now. And the hard thing
Speaker 2: is that, like a lot of shows that get canceled
Speaker 2: ahead of their time, sometimes the writers can give you
Speaker 2: an idea of what the twist was going to be.
Speaker 2: All they're based on books, so at least you can
Speaker 2: go to the No, there's no book, there's no nothing.
Speaker 2: And so now I will just live out the rest
Speaker 2: of my days on this earth not knowing the plot
Speaker 2: twist that I was so invested in.
Speaker 1: No, they can't do that to you.
Speaker 2: It was like some sort of a pied piper situation.
Speaker 2: I think they were alluding to that the adults in
Speaker 2: town had done something bad and so something had happened
Speaker 2: and the children were taken or were the townspeople dead
Speaker 2: and the children are left in the world, like it's
Speaker 2: hard to kind of know, but there was something there,
Speaker 2: But It's not going to be like a Lost or
Speaker 2: something where they kind of just they're like, oh, we
Speaker 2: didn't plan to run this long. We have no idea
Speaker 2: what we were building too, so we're just going to
Speaker 2: throw this out there like it was going to be
Speaker 2: some sort of big reveal and now we'll just never know.
Speaker 1: You deserve a one page at least, just like exactly,
Speaker 1: please release. Maybe the writers will do a novel or something.
Speaker 1: That's what we need in this day and age. They
Speaker 1: can't be behaving like that. We deserve more. We're the
Speaker 1: one signing up and paying twelve dollars a month to
Speaker 1: have four hundred streaming services on our television. Yes, we
Speaker 1: deserve to know what's happened the end.
Speaker 2: We're coming up next more dramatic scenes around our favorite
Speaker 2: shows that have been canceled and we can watch, so
Speaker 2: stick around for that. So when I was asking a
Speaker 2: bunch of people in the office and in my group
Speaker 2: chat about shows that had been canceled before their time
Speaker 2: on a cliffhanger, one title came up more than any other.
Speaker 2: And this has made me angry too, because once again,
Speaker 2: I just want to know what happened, and that is
Speaker 2: Santa Clarita diet.
Speaker 1: I forgot all about this because I watched it, and
Speaker 1: then I think I must have been waiting for the
Speaker 1: next season, and then I got caught up with other things,
Speaker 1: then forgot i'd ever watched it. Now I'm angry.
Speaker 2: You'll be waiting a long time because it did get canceled.
Speaker 2: So that show it kicked off in twenty seventeen. It
Speaker 2: went for three seasons before I got canceled. And if
Speaker 2: you don't know the name of the show, you probably
Speaker 2: know best as the Drew Barrymore zombie show.
Speaker 1: Zombie.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, because that was a whole thing. She'd obviously
Speaker 2: be known for rom comms and things for many years,
Speaker 2: and then she went into TV and that was a
Speaker 2: big deal. But the fact that she went into TV
Speaker 2: as a woman, like a suburban mum, you know, who's
Speaker 2: supposed to be like very normal, even though she looks
Speaker 2: like Drew Barrymore so, who she doesn't look normal exactly
Speaker 2: becomes a zombie and to kind of stay a normal person,
Speaker 2: she has to eat human flesh. It's all about her
Speaker 2: and her cot husband and stuff, trying to yeah.
Speaker 1: Look at him. After this, I remember about this.
Speaker 2: Little suburban family trying to keep their life normal, keep
Speaker 2: her condition a secret, while also making sure that she
Speaker 2: has a steady stream of human flesh and blood to eat.
Speaker 2: And the last moments.
Speaker 1: Of the stream of human flesh.
Speaker 2: We've all got to deal with. So it got canceled
Speaker 2: on the cliff he me because don't I remember these
Speaker 2: odor you haven't watched it. Not a spoiler, but in
Speaker 2: the last episode, a zombie spider crawled inside her husband's ear,
Speaker 2: and so to save his life. Yeah again, could happen
Speaker 2: to anyone. In order to save his life, she bit him,
Speaker 2: which means that he would have become a zombie or
Speaker 2: something would have happened him in the next series. And
Speaker 2: so everyone's like, yes, I'm so pumped for this, and
Speaker 2: then Netflix, once again the culprits here canceled it.
Speaker 1: But she's been fine ever since though, I mean she
Speaker 1: since launched her awkwardly close talk show.
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh she's fine, it's us She's fine.
Speaker 1: I know this is kind of off topic, but it's
Speaker 1: something that occurred to me this week. As you know,
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with rom coms. Yeah, it occurred to me
Speaker 1: this week that we think of Drew Barrymore. As you know,
Speaker 1: a very famous actress, and perhaps now more for her
Speaker 1: talk show. I mean, it's a huge call for me
Speaker 1: to make Babe, I think Drew barrymore of any actress
Speaker 1: if we're talking rom coms. She's the queen of the
Speaker 1: rom com And it's weird that we don't automatically think
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore when we think great rom comms. But if
Speaker 1: you think about it, like the wedding singer ever After,
Speaker 1: Perfect Catch, Never Been Kissed, the one where music and
Speaker 1: lyrics with human like love that movie, I know it's
Speaker 1: completely relevant to we're talking about what it needs to know.
Speaker 1: She has done so much, which again is another reason
Speaker 1: why it's like good honor for doing three seasons of
Speaker 1: a zombie show, a show in any case when you're
Speaker 1: a huge actress, and then yeah, TV show is like huge,
Speaker 1: But then to do it about zombies, it's a lot
Speaker 1: and good on it, Yeah, Drew, And I'm gonna I
Speaker 1: just but the talk show, the close talking and the
Speaker 1: touching of faces and arms, it's a very hard to watch.
Speaker 2: You're so right that there's been like a bit of
Speaker 2: a raisure of her in the rom com stakes. For
Speaker 2: people always say in Rasia, yes, always say, Kate Hudson,
Speaker 2: Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, all the people, and like Drew
Speaker 2: Barrymore is up there also again off topics, she should
Speaker 2: have got an Oscar nomination at least for writing in
Speaker 2: Cars with Boys. That's all same, let's all say on
Speaker 2: the matter. But yeah, so a lot I've moved into
Speaker 2: a whole Drew Barrymore episode, which I would do. But yes,
Speaker 2: Santa Clarita diet on the list of shows that were
Speaker 2: canceled before our time. And the thing about these cancelations
Speaker 2: is there's so many things that come into my think
Speaker 2: of what you're saying before about like audience, viewership, writers, strikes, availability,
Speaker 2: all those kind of things, but they are just become
Speaker 2: such a moment in time where if you can't get
Speaker 2: it to work in that moment, it's gone forever. And
Speaker 2: I don't know if it takes away from the show,
Speaker 2: but it does make me hesitance sometimes to watch a
Speaker 2: show that I know got canceled before the end, of course,
Speaker 2: but I still think if anyone hasn't watched My Lady Jane,
Speaker 2: they should, Well, we know what you think.
Speaker 1: We're about to do weekend Watch, And I just want
Speaker 1: to say before we do that my weekend what will
Speaker 1: be it will also be a now that a third
Speaker 1: viewing of My Lady Jane hashtag no regrets. Emily Bata,
Speaker 1: who plays the main chick in it, is being cast in.
Speaker 1: Emily Henry, who is it huge rom comust People with
Speaker 1: Me on Vacation is the first of her books. It's
Speaker 1: going to be made into a film. So maybe there
Speaker 1: was some scheduling conflicts. Because you know, none of the
Speaker 1: cars see that bumm that the show got canceled. I
Speaker 1: feel like maybe they all have other.
Speaker 2: Shit today, have got other stuff going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Edward Bloomer is just kind of getting started.
Speaker 1: So I feel like we will get more from the actors.
Speaker 1: We just won't get more from these characters unless by
Speaker 1: some miracle, Prime listens to me personally and gives us more.
Speaker 1: Then thank you very much. Please watch My Lady Jane.
Speaker 1: Go to my Instagram. I've got the link to the petition.
Speaker 2: Did you start the petition?
Speaker 1: No? I don't know that crazy, but all of them,
Speaker 1: multiple multiple petitions. I've never signed a petition in my life.
Speaker 2: First time, Oh god.
Speaker 1: A loser the weekend watch so if we can watch
Speaker 1: this weekend. I love a teen high school film ever
Speaker 1: since the day of like sixteen Candles or I'll watch
Speaker 1: them all ten things I Hate about You, And I'm
Speaker 1: really happy that in the last couple of years, Laura,
Speaker 1: we seem to be getting them again. The young adult
Speaker 1: films are coming back, And even as a woman in
Speaker 1: her late thirties, I still I just love the comfort
Speaker 1: of the high school fielm with all like the nerds
Speaker 1: and the jocks and the skanky girl. Can I say
Speaker 1: skanky girl? Even though it's an empowered thing now? Like
Speaker 1: I would love to be one of the skanky girls.
Speaker 1: This week on Netflix already number two in movies. It's
Speaker 1: called Incoming, and it's all about kind of like the
Speaker 1: younger guys that have gone through puberty and they're now
Speaker 1: in high school, from middle school to high school, which,
Speaker 1: of course in the USA is a been kind of
Speaker 1: coming of age. What's that bell rings were in high school?
Speaker 1: You know what that means?
Speaker 2: Anything is possible.
Speaker 1: She's a half more minute. It's never gonna happen. She
Speaker 1: hasn't met the new meek. I don't want to dance
Speaker 1: around anymore. For a second there, I thought you might
Speaker 1: have been fucking the door. Can you leave parents are
Speaker 1: going to town this weekend. My brother's still on a
Speaker 1: massive region. Wow, you clicks, I'm a three plus one.
Speaker 1: I'm out. I think I'm not too mad.

Speaker 1: That's why I'm gonna move on, Bailey. You're going to
Speaker 1: earn your brother's respect, You're going to stop being scared,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna lose that shitty nickname. What a vetus evers?
Speaker 2: Fuck?
Speaker 1: It looks like one of those kind of young adult
Speaker 1: films that's actually got something in it for older audiences,
Speaker 1: like a couple of the kind of jokes that make
Speaker 1: us laugh, and it's smart. I'll be watching it. It's
Speaker 1: only ninety minute watch, which is I mean for a
Speaker 1: busy gal like, I mean, how much do we love
Speaker 1: a ninety minute film?
Speaker 2: We just have to get out.
Speaker 1: It's not going to change your life. You're not going
Speaker 1: to be thinking about it the second those credits role
Speaker 1: you've moved on. But for that ninety minutes, it was
Speaker 1: a comforting watch. So incoming on Netflix, what about you back?
Speaker 2: Kay?
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you've got a nice team offering because mine's
Speaker 2: a bit more of a horror gory. Keep you up
Speaker 2: at night kind of thing. And you're not a horror fan.
Speaker 1: Never seen a horror film in my whole life.
Speaker 2: Just ever seen one. You might love them, absolutely not. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm telling the m this.
Speaker 1: Last week, I went to the drive in to see
Speaker 1: The Ring. I don't know if you remember that horror film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's a really terrifying movie. No. I lasted six minutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not for you. I would start you off
Speaker 2: from something like maybe like a sexy horror or something
Speaker 2: like it.
Speaker 1: I'm into the sexy. Yeah, but my imagination is too strong.
Speaker 1: And I also live in the middle of nowhere on
Speaker 1: seven Acres where there's like pitch black, it's very quiet.
Speaker 2: That's terrifying.
Speaker 1: It's a no for me. But continue, please help me
Speaker 1: about Well, it's offering that I will not be watching.
Speaker 2: Well, what's even creepy about this new movie. It's called
Speaker 2: The Deliverance and it's coming out on Netflix today. It
Speaker 2: is based on a true story, which I feel like
Speaker 2: you have to almost do now to kind of get
Speaker 2: the hype up around it. So, but this particular true story, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel like maybe you shouldn't listen to this, this
Speaker 2: particular true story goes back to twenty eleven where a
Speaker 2: woman called LaToya Amens and her mother and her three
Speaker 2: children moved into this new house and this little town
Speaker 2: in Indiana. Now, as horror movies have taught us, moving
Speaker 2: into a new house in a tiny town will only
Speaker 2: end in it being haunted.
Speaker 1: Course, especially if you got it at a good price
Speaker 1: and you don't know why you got it so cheap.
Speaker 1: Everyone else in the neighborhood's like, we know, we.
Speaker 2: Haven't gotten to the movie yet. This is the real
Speaker 2: life story that was reported in the newspapers. So they
Speaker 2: moved into the house and they started experiencing weird things,
Speaker 2: like swarms of flies would attack the kids. There were
Speaker 2: like bootmarks on the floor after they'd gone to bed
Speaker 2: someone had been walking through. There were strange sounds. But
Speaker 2: then things get kicked up a notch because the family
Speaker 2: all reported to the police at the time, and they
Speaker 2: had like doctors and stuff come in that they had
Speaker 2: been possessed, and there were reports of like the youngest
Speaker 2: boy like rolling his eyes back in his head and screaming,
Speaker 2: you're all going to die, and he would then like
Speaker 2: walk backwards up the wall. The classic horror movie things.
Speaker 2: All of these different things, like the mum would attack
Speaker 2: her kids. There was all this craziness and it all
Speaker 2: got reported in a story that was in the Indianapolis Star,
Speaker 2: which was the local newspaper, and it then went kind
Speaker 2: of global and people were calling it the demon House
Speaker 2: and it became this thing. But there were also allegations
Speaker 2: at the time that the mum was quite behind on
Speaker 2: her rent and that she was making her children and
Speaker 2: pretend to act possessed and child services and stuff a
Speaker 2: colls so she wouldn't have to pay her rent.
Speaker 1: Nice of course hard to say.
Speaker 2: But then there were also photographers who went and took
Speaker 2: pictures of the house late night and there were shadowy figures.
Speaker 2: It became this whole thing of like is the house
Speaker 2: haunted and there was like a documentary made about it?
Speaker 2: Or is this the biggest proof that this supernatural things
Speaker 2: do exist? So that all happened, that was a cute time.
Speaker 2: And now one Lee Daniels as in Lee Daniels, who
Speaker 2: is known for Precious which he has got multiple Oscar nominations,
Speaker 2: The Butler multiple Oscar nominations, has turned this into a
Speaker 2: new movie that's out on Netflix, and the cast is
Speaker 2: pretty stacked. So it's Andrew Day who plays the mum,
Speaker 2: but you've also got Omar Epps, Monique who obviously wanted
Speaker 2: an oscar for Precious, and the amazing actress, and also
Speaker 2: Glenn Close just in there for good measure.
Speaker 1: Remember, before we get started, whatever it says to you,
Speaker 1: do not listen to it. It will play on your heart,
Speaker 1: it will play on your mind. Father, we asked that
Speaker 1: you Quinson sanctify us for this deliverance evidence get back.
Speaker 2: It tells us kind of these real life stories of
Speaker 2: like this family that move into this house. But it
Speaker 2: does really show you a lot of very not graphic,
Speaker 2: but very intense, like possession scenes, haunting scenes. So if
Speaker 2: you like horror movies and you want to see this
Speaker 2: new offering it's quite atmospheric and interesting, then you'll like it.
Speaker 2: But if you don't like horror movies, then maybe steer clear.
Speaker 1: What defind scarier murdery killer horror movies or supernatural?
Speaker 2: Supernatural? For me, which is wild because also I live alone,
Speaker 2: I should be worried about you know, slashes or killers.
Speaker 2: But for some reason, the only horror movies that really
Speaker 2: freak me out have a supernatural element. This isn't the
Speaker 2: scariest movie I've seen by a long shot. So if
Speaker 2: you're a horror buffer, you'll be like, oh, this is fine,
Speaker 2: But like it was, something about Possession is quite terrifying.
Speaker 1: What is the scariest movie you've ever seen?
Speaker 2: It follows, which is such a simple premise. It's such
Speaker 2: a simple movie and I watch it as an adult.
Speaker 2: It's just about this entity that once you sleep with
Speaker 2: someone who has it, this entity will just follow you, slowly,
Speaker 2: walking behind you until you die. It is the most
Speaker 2: simple movie and not even the most graphic, but just
Speaker 2: something about it terrified me that I couldn't walk outside
Speaker 2: as an adult. I couldn't walk outside in the daylight
Speaker 2: for days on end. I still can't. It's so freaky.
Speaker 2: So okay, want to miss on your list. So that's
Speaker 2: our weekend watching this week a coming of age teen
Speaker 2: movie and a movie of possession, both on Netflix. Well,
