This was more of a It wasn't as 15 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: a kid. It was more of like a drinking game 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: in college. 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: How do you play that? Would you rather? As a drink? 18 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: Would you rather it? Just you would kind of do 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: a Truther or dare version of it? Basically, there's all 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: sorts of twists and turns, but yes, play and it's 21 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 2: usually like two terrible choices and you have to pick 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: which one you'd rather do? 23 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: And yes, that's exactly what the movie, and sometimes. 24 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: The dare would be to do one or the other. 25 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 2: It was not diabolical like it gets in this movie. 26 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: It would be like, would you rather kiss Jimmy or 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: sit on Billy's lap? Like that kind of a thing. 28 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: What did you do? 29 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I just made up a total Why I 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: made it all up? 31 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: Baby? When was this though? 32 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: You're hilarious? Oh you're so funny. Anyway, we all know 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: the game. We all might love the game, but you 34 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: might not love it so much after you see this 35 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: movie because whoa, this gets this gets evil. 36 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: This is an intense once you figure out what's happening, 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: you are on edge. There is no relief in this 38 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: movie once that dinner starts. 39 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: There's so much tension in your body when you're watching this. 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: So I actually wanted to put this in someone else's 41 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: words because I laughed when I was looking at some 42 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: of the critics reviews. One critic put it like this 43 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 2: and said, this is not a criticism, but this movie 44 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: is a contender for the feel bad movie of the year. 45 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, this one stings, man, because it The other gripping 46 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: part about it, Erobes, is that it puts you. You 47 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: put yourself in the position that many of these people 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: are in, and you ask yourself, what would I do? 49 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: In that position, and you're asking yourself these questions. So 50 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: you're having moral questions, well they're having moral questions. You're 51 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: asking yourself how much you could take, how much money 52 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: is worth for it? It is. It's kind of awful 53 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: at times. And the main I was about to call him 54 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: the protagon is he's a star, but he is definitely 55 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: the antagonist, the guy who runs this dinner. He is 56 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: as he is almost you don't take them seriously, like 57 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: he seems like such a caricature of the guy he's playing. 58 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: He's so over the top that you. 59 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: Love it, right because you know no one could actually 60 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: be that horrific, right, He's miles to hope not. The 61 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: release date was twenty twelve. The runtime sweet spot our 62 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: thirty three minutes. Of course, it's rated R and it's 63 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: a horror mystery thriller. Here is the synopsis to the movie. 64 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: Desperate to help her ailing brother, a young woman unknowingly 65 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: agrees to compete in a deadly game of would you Rather? 66 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: Hosted by a sadistic aristocrat that absolutely reads now the 67 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: box office. I didn't realize this. This was out in 68 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: limited release and video on demand, so there are no 69 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: numbers about how well it did, because for whatever reason, 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: it just went almost straight to video on demand back 71 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: in twenty twelve. But it has a stellar cast, some 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: of our absolute favorites. Britney Snow. You know and love her. 73 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: I always think of pitch Perfect, but she does a 74 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: lot of horror movies too. 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: She is so solid in her Oh she was, she 76 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: wasn't she? 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, I mean she's in a lot of movie 78 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: if you look her up and you'll know her face immediately. 79 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: But love Britney Snow, Jeffrey Combs, who's so good in this, 80 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: Jonathan Coyne, Lawrence Gilliard, Junior, John Hurd, you know his 81 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: face so so well, Sasha Gray, Charlie Hoffheimer, you've known 82 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: him too. Like I'm telling you, a lot of these 83 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: folks might not be household names, but once you see 84 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: their faces, you know them. June squibb Eddie Steeples. It's 85 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: a big cast. They're all seated around this table and 86 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: all directed by David guy Levy. But this movie is 87 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: I guess sadistic and diabolical is the best way I 88 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 2: could describe it. 89 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: And that is probably why the audience score is so 90 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: low and rutten to me. This is not an indictment 91 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: of acting. No, but for some people roll stuff like this, 92 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: it's hard to say I enjoyed that movie. 93 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 2: This is one that you kind of have to say. 94 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: Now hear me out, I love this movie. Don't judge 95 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: me for loving this movie because it is evil. So 96 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: the Rotten to score sixty one percent, but the audience score, 97 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: and this is usually a movie I would completely shy 98 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 2: away from and stay away from because this would tell me, nah, 99 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 2: thirty seven percent. But you again, and no indictment on you, 100 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: because I loved it. You're the one who told me 101 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: about this movie. I did not see this movie. I 102 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: think I really do look at audience scores. I don't 103 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: necessarily look at critics scores. But this one wasn't a 104 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: big theatrical release. There was no big box office or 105 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 2: no big promotion for it, so this would be one 106 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: of those movies you would actually see and decide whether 107 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: or not you want to watch. And a lot of 108 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: times I do base it on reviews. 109 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: She I think it might have been her that caught 110 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: my attention. I don't know why this one came to 111 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: my attention, but there's just certain actors and actresses we 112 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: were talking about justin long not long ago as well. 113 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: You know you're in good hands. He's in a horror movie. Okay, 114 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm in this young late Britney Snow she's in a 115 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: horror movie. I think that's how it came about. But 116 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: the premise itself in so much of it. Yeah, there's 117 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: some blood and guts and gore, and it is horror, 118 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: but there are It makes you have so many questions, 119 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: so many moral questions that I enjoy having a conversation 120 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: after the fact about a movie that's just kind of 121 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: a throwaway, silly, ridiculous, disgusting at times thing you ask 122 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: yourself some questions. What would I do? We finished watching 123 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: it earlier and I said, do you have anything in 124 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: your life that you would do blank blank blank for 125 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: like we just saw them do in the movie. 126 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: And we said no, No, there was nothing I said 127 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: short of my child's life being on the line. And 128 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: even then, I still don't think I could do what 129 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: these folks were. 130 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: Forced to do. 131 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: Yes or yes forrest is the right word, because once 132 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: they were there, that was the Hotel California. They could 133 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: check in, but they could never leave. Right, So the 134 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: critics consensus can you explain this to me, I actually 135 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: didn't totally understand this. Though restrained by most torture porn standards, 136 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: would you rather brilliant premise is ultimately harmed by its 137 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: tendency towards blood and guts. 138 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: True that there are some movies we've seen. First thing 139 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: came to mind was hostile. There are some movies that 140 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: have this torture in them. Uh, you know what, even 141 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: Saw I shoy it. 142 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: So that's what I think this is. If I had 143 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: to liken this movie to any other movie that most 144 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: people who like horror movies have seen, it would be Saw. 145 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. So by those standards, it's just a bit under that. 146 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: It's not that it's not that cruesome, but so much 147 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: of the gruesomeness here deals in the build up and 148 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: that they're this enclosed, this confined space where you are 149 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: forced to perform these acts or you're gonna die, to 150 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: where there's an intensity of sitting across the table from 151 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: people you're having to make a decision about what type 152 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: of pain you're gonna put them in or put yourself through, 153 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: and what decisions are they gonna make. That intensity stays 154 00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: for the entirety of the movie. 155 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: Right, So you're not facing some unknown evil. It's nothing supernatural. 156 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: There is no masked man. In fact, all of the 157 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: people who are orchestrating this atrocity are right there in 158 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: front of you, smiling and watching and showing their faces. 159 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: So it's a very different twist on horror. 160 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: And even in some of the moments that they're having 161 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: at dinner, wouldn't you say? You don't agree completely, You'll 162 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. The scariest moment of this movie 163 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: happens happened several times when the lead bad guy says 164 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,239 Speaker 1: would you rather? And you're like, what's it going to be? 165 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: Like? 166 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: Those are the moments would you And they say would 167 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: you rather? Do this horrible thing? Or this horrible thing? 168 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: And then you have thirty seconds Oh that's right the. 169 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: Car They have a timer that adds to the tension. Yes, 170 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 2: So here are some of the critic reviews. Would You 171 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: Rather is a horror film in the tree truest sense, 172 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: opening up frightening doors in our minds and making us 173 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: look at parts of ourselves. It's not easy, but it 174 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: is well done and extremely compelling. 175 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: That's a good one. Yes, I agree with that wholeheart. 176 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: The compelling part of it. It is you find that 177 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: thirty second clock is a big deal. You got thirty 178 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: seconds to make a decision, so you don't have time 179 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: to contemplate and real you have to make a split 180 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: second decision. 181 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: Yep, I think you're gonna like, I'm gonna give you 182 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: two more critic reviews that I think you're really going 183 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: to fall in line with and entertaining an incredibly demented 184 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: commentary on how easily our wills can break when given 185 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: the proper price. 186 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: Tag Man got heavy on us there. That is, it 187 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: is a little insight into desperation, what you are willing 188 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: to do and willing to do to somebody else. And 189 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: look all those these folks weren't there for selfish reasons. 190 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: They were there to try to say the lives of 191 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: somebody else. So yeah, it does add a very a 192 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: very interesting piece of humanity to this story. 193 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: This is a movie when you watch it, there will 194 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: be conversations afterwards and maybe even throughout, like you would 195 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: maybe even pause the movie and have a conversation like 196 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: this is something where it does it is thought provoking. Yeah, 197 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 2: with the moral dilemmas. 198 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: I mean, if it doesn't your thought and your conversation 199 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: isn't that profound? You're at least going to turn to 200 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: somebody and say, what did you do? Right? It's just 201 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: fun in that way. What would you do? What would 202 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: you do? Which one would you take? 203 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 2: Because some of the characters make selfless choices. 204 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: Yes, and it. 205 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: Doesn't end well, but yes, that's very okay. Here's another one. 206 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: It's smart, slick and delightfully sick, with a horrific but 207 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 2: compelling game of survival that manages to give audiences a 208 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 2: little food for thought along with their horror. 209 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Wow, okay, we do feel valid. Okay, we can do that. 210 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: We need to Okay, we need to do need to 211 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: be horror movie critics. 212 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: Exactly, I think so. We like all of those, but 213 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 2: here is one of the bad reviews. An ungainly horror 214 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: film that tries to twist the genre in a new 215 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 2: direction but fails utterly. There are some truly horrific scenes, 216 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: but nothing worth remembering afterwards. Really disagree when they brought 217 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: the tub in, Oh my, I remember a lot. Some 218 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: of the things I wish I could not remember that 219 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: are still with me. So I would love to be 220 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: this critic where I could forget what I saw because 221 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 2: there are really tough moments that are still in my head. Okay, 222 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: some audience reviews, I always think these are really interesting 223 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: because these are folks like us who just are lovers 224 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: of horror movies and have their genuine reactions. I thought this. 225 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 2: These were pretty cool. Despite a downer of an ending, 226 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: This is a great horror flick with despicable characters and 227 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 2: some gnarly moments without showing too much. I agree the 228 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 2: gore didn't go over the top. 229 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: That is true. The scenario sounded worst and they end 230 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: up executing them. That is a very good point. It is. 231 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: There was a couple killing and some blood and some 232 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: shocking this and that, but it is not a body 233 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: horror or a gore type movie at all. That's a 234 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: good point to make. 235 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: And here's here's another one I heard I saw from 236 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: an audience review. It was kind of a med review, 237 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: but it still made me laugh. Okay, this wasn't an 238 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: amazing movie by any means. There were a lot of 239 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: dumb decisions and that certain characters made, but overall I 240 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 2: actually enjoyed watching it. It was a fun movie. Exclamation point, 241 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: and again, it's one of those things where you take 242 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 2: it for what it is, which is I thought it 243 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: was innovative. I thought it was clever. It's a game. 244 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: We all know. It's a game we've all played, but 245 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: never like this, and I think that's what made it intriguing. 246 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: And yes it did. I felt like I was squirming. 247 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: I was uncomfortable. And again, if you don't like being uncomfortable, 248 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: this movie isn't for you, because I was uncomfortable from 249 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 2: start to finish. 250 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, soon as you realize what this thing is, what 251 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: this game is, then you have another hour plus of 252 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: the movie that they're at this dinner playing this game. Oh, 253 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: this is the doozy. This is a good one. And 254 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: I understand I can't necessarily disagree with a lot of 255 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: what you read. The one there was a little harsh, 256 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: but I get the criticism. All right. 257 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 2: When we come back, we're going to talk about why 258 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 2: it's on the list, who it's for, who it's not for, 259 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: the food, drink, atmosphere pairing, where to watch it, and 260 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: of course it t ease for our next movie on 261 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: the list, continuing our number twenty on our horror hit list. 262 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: Would you rather? All right, We're going to talk about 263 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: why this made our list. We feel like we've made 264 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: the case, but just to be on record, this is 265 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: an edge of your seat, what's going to happen next movie? 266 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 2: It is tense. It is intense, and you have to 267 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 2: be in that mindset to want to be in that place, 268 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 2: because this is not something you sit back, enjoy and 269 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: have fun and watch popforn You are invested and you 270 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: I mean it's it's thrilling and sickening all at once. 271 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: Is that a good way to put it? 272 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it'll make you think I'm okay with that? 273 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: Is this one horror movie? One of the few on 274 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: the lists. I cannot remember a single jump scare, no, 275 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: and you know what movie. 276 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: It's all set in one room. I can imagine the 277 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: budget must have been almost nothing. That's why they were 278 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: able to just limit release and put it on video 279 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: on demand, because I can't imagine this costs much to 280 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: make other than perhaps the amazing actors' salaries, because there 281 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: is a stellar cast associated with this. The acting is phenomenal, 282 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: The script is great, but it is uncomfortable. So who 283 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: is it not for? Not for the faint of heart. 284 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: It's not that gory, so it's interesting. It's not there's 285 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: no there's not a lot of blood and gouts. I 286 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: mean there's some, but it's not point where that would 287 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: be a turnoff. It's just difficult to watch because of 288 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: the moral dilemmas, and you just feel this sense of like, no, oh, God, 289 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: don't tell me they're gonna do that. It's and that's 290 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: where I say it's similar to Saw because you're anticipating 291 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: horror in a way that your whole body is involved. 292 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: So if you don't like that, and I get that, 293 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: because some people are like, look, I don't really like torture, 294 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 2: and Saw is on the edge from me. You mentioned hostile. 295 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: I don't like hostele. I don't like extended torture. This 296 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: was right on the line for me in terms of 297 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: movies that I can that I can enjoy and barely tolerate, 298 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: this would be right on the line for me. 299 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: So probably again we said there's not a lot of 300 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: blood and guts and gore and too much torture. The 301 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: problem is you're tortured the whole movie because you never 302 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: get a break. You actually know as soon as the 303 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: game starts that person's got thirty seconds. Then when that's over, 304 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: the next person has to it just continues. You never 305 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: get a beat to do anything. 306 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about it like that, but you're right, 307 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: that's that's part of it. There is no relief. Oftentimes 308 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 2: you have comedic relief. You have a break. I think 309 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: we've mentioned before when it's nighttime and you know, the 310 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: the zombies or the vampires are out. You know, when 311 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: it's daylight, you get a break. This movie, there is 312 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 2: no break. 313 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think even if for a moment of levity, 314 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: was there even a joke cracked. 315 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: Honestly, if there was, I don't remember it because it 316 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: was so intense. 317 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the guy was so diabolical in everything he 318 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: did and how he said it. Yeah, this is a 319 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: well it seems like like, gee, Amy TJ, y'all really 320 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: are recommending this, y'all. Don't make it sound great, right, 321 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: It's a great experience, and it's. 322 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: Again, you have to be a certain kind of horror 323 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: movie lover to like this movie. And we won't get 324 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: into why and how, because I I'm not gonna judge 325 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: myself or you on this one, babe, But we do 326 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: like this movie. Obviously it made our list. Now in 327 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 2: terms of food, drink, atmosphere pairing. You have to watch 328 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: the movie to know why. This might be kind of 329 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: funny because if you like, well, like a brandy or 330 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 2: a steak, well, they become a part of the story 331 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: in a couple of different ways. There's a vegetarian and 332 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 2: somebody who has recovered from alcoholism as a part of 333 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 2: the game itself. Would you rather But that is just 334 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: the beginning. So I just suggested wine and steak or 335 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 2: brandy and steak or some sort of whatever you want 336 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: to indulge yourself in. And again, just understand that your 337 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: stomach might be a knots so not sure how hungry 338 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: you would be. 339 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: Scotch scotch. This is a scotch movie, Like you need 340 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: This is one where something stress will happen. You go, oh, man, 341 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: I need a drink. This is that movie. After every 342 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: one of those scenarios, you go, you're almost breathing hard. 343 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: Relieve that you just have moment, but the intensity, Yeah, 344 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: you need a. 345 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 2: Scotch sipping scotch. I actually could get totally behind that. 346 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: That is this kind of movie. And you are the 347 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 2: diabolical lead of this is, as we mentioned, an aristocrat. 348 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: It's set in a gorgeous dining room, it's opulent, there's 349 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: and and for sport. This man is offering you know 350 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 2: how much money it was. It was it was life 351 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 2: changing money to whoever wins. So there is wealth all around. 352 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: And these folks who are desperate and they need the 353 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: money for specific reasons. A lot of them have very 354 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 2: altruistic reasons why they're sitting around this table trying to 355 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: win this money at all costs. So yeah, I think 356 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: that works. Scotch works.

But it 369 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: is a movie that was made during the pandemic, and 370 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: any movie that was made during the pandemic has a 371 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: slightly different look to this, But man, it's a movie 372 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 2: about making a movie, and it's not just scary, it's 373 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: really really funny.
