WEBVTT - Deep Cuts Horror Hit List #20 “Would You Rather”

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey they're folks. It is Sunday, October the twelfth, and

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the next movie on our list will have you rethinking

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 1>your next dinner party invite. And with that, welcome to

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.959
<v Speaker 1>this episode of Amy and TJ's Halloween Horror hit List.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>As we continue to go through our deep cut movies,

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 1>we're on number what.

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Now Rold twenty.

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>This was not for the for the faint of heart.

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 2>No, you have to be in a mood to watch this,

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 2>but once you're in that mood, it is gripping from

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 2>start to finish. The movie is would you rather?

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Did you play this game as a kid? I'm still

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>as an adult?

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Absolutely. This was more of a It wasn't as

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 2>a kid. It was more of like a drinking game

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>in college.

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>How do you play that? Would you rather? As a drink?

0:00:54.680 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Would you rather it? Just you would kind of do

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 2>a Truther or dare version of it? Basically, there's all

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 2>sorts of twists and turns, but yes, play and it's

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.199
<v Speaker 2>usually like two terrible choices and you have to pick

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 2>which one you'd rather do?

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>And yes, that's exactly what the movie, and sometimes.

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 2>The dare would be to do one or the other.

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.119
<v Speaker 2>It was not diabolical like it gets in this movie.

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>It would be like, would you rather kiss Jimmy or

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 2>sit on Billy's lap? Like that kind of a thing.

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>What did you do?

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just made up a total Why I

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>made it all up?

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Baby? When was this though?

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>You're hilarious? Oh you're so funny. Anyway, we all know

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the game. We all might love the game, but you

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 2>might not love it so much after you see this

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>movie because whoa, this gets this gets evil.

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>This is an intense once you figure out what's happening,

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you are on edge. There is no relief in this

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>movie once that dinner starts.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>There's so much tension in your body when you're watching this.

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 2>So I actually wanted to put this in someone else's

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>words because I laughed when I was looking at some

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 2>of the critics reviews. One critic put it like this

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.959
<v Speaker 2>and said, this is not a criticism, but this movie

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>is a contender for the feel bad movie of the year.

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this one stings, man, because it The other gripping

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>part about it, Erobes, is that it puts you. You

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>put yourself in the position that many of these people

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 1>are in, and you ask yourself, what would I do?

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>In that position, and you're asking yourself these questions. So

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you're having moral questions, well they're having moral questions. You're

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>asking yourself how much you could take, how much money

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 1>is worth for it? It is. It's kind of awful

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>at times. And the main I was about to call him

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the protagon is he's a star, but he is definitely

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the antagonist, the guy who runs this dinner. He is

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 1>as he is almost you don't take them seriously, like

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>he seems like such a caricature of the guy he's playing.

0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>He's so over the top that you.

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Love it, right because you know no one could actually

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>be that horrific, right, He's miles to hope not. The

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>release date was twenty twelve. The runtime sweet spot our

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 2>thirty three minutes. Of course, it's rated R and it's

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>a horror mystery thriller. Here is the synopsis to the movie.

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Desperate to help her ailing brother, a young woman unknowingly

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>agrees to compete in a deadly game of would you Rather?

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Hosted by a sadistic aristocrat that absolutely reads now the

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>box office. I didn't realize this. This was out in

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>limited release and video on demand, so there are no

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 2>numbers about how well it did, because for whatever reason,

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>it just went almost straight to video on demand back

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twelve. But it has a stellar cast, some

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>of our absolute favorites. Britney Snow. You know and love her.

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I always think of pitch Perfect, but she does a

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of horror movies too.

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>She is so solid in her Oh she was, she

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>wasn't she?

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Yes, I mean she's in a lot of movie

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 2>if you look her up and you'll know her face immediately.

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>But love Britney Snow, Jeffrey Combs, who's so good in this,

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Coyne, Lawrence Gilliard, Junior, John Hurd, you know his

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 2>face so so well, Sasha Gray, Charlie Hoffheimer, you've known

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>him too. Like I'm telling you, a lot of these

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 2>folks might not be household names, but once you see

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>their faces, you know them. June squibb Eddie Steeples. It's

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a big cast. They're all seated around this table and

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 2>all directed by David guy Levy. But this movie is

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess sadistic and diabolical is the best way I

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>could describe it.

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And that is probably why the audience score is so

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>low and rutten to me. This is not an indictment

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of acting. No, but for some people roll stuff like this,

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to say I enjoyed that movie.

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 2>This is one that you kind of have to say.

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Now hear me out, I love this movie. Don't judge

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>me for loving this movie because it is evil. So

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the Rotten to score sixty one percent, but the audience score,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 2>and this is usually a movie I would completely shy

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 2>away from and stay away from because this would tell me, nah,

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven percent. But you again, and no indictment on you,

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>because I loved it. You're the one who told me

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 2>about this movie. I did not see this movie. I

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 2>think I really do look at audience scores. I don't

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 2>necessarily look at critics scores. But this one wasn't a

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>big theatrical release. There was no big box office or

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 2>no big promotion for it, so this would be one

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 2>of those movies you would actually see and decide whether

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 2>or not you want to watch. And a lot of

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>times I do base it on reviews.

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>She I think it might have been her that caught

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>my attention. I don't know why this one came to

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 1>my attention, but there's just certain actors and actresses we

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>were talking about justin long not long ago as well.

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 1>You know you're in good hands. He's in a horror movie. Okay,

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm in this young late Britney Snow she's in a

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>horror movie. I think that's how it came about. But

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the premise itself in so much of it. Yeah, there's

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>some blood and guts and gore, and it is horror,

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>but there are It makes you have so many questions,

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>so many moral questions that I enjoy having a conversation

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>after the fact about a movie that's just kind of

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>a throwaway, silly, ridiculous, disgusting at times thing you ask

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>yourself some questions. What would I do? We finished watching

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>it earlier and I said, do you have anything in

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 1>your life that you would do blank blank blank for

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>like we just saw them do in the movie.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>And we said no, No, there was nothing I said

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 2>short of my child's life being on the line. And

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 2>even then, I still don't think I could do what

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 2>these folks were.

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Forced to do.

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes or yes forrest is the right word, because once

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>they were there, that was the Hotel California. They could

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.919
<v Speaker 2>check in, but they could never leave. Right, So the

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>critics consensus can you explain this to me, I actually

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't totally understand this. Though restrained by most torture porn standards,

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 2>would you rather brilliant premise is ultimately harmed by its

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>tendency towards blood and guts.

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>True that there are some movies we've seen. First thing

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>came to mind was hostile. There are some movies that

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>have this torture in them. Uh, you know what, even

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Saw I shoy it.

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I think this is. If I had

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 2>to liken this movie to any other movie that most

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>people who like horror movies have seen, it would be Saw.

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So by those standards, it's just a bit under that.

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not that it's not that cruesome, but so much

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>of the gruesomeness here deals in the build up and

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that they're this enclosed, this confined space where you are

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>forced to perform these acts or you're gonna die, to

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>where there's an intensity of sitting across the table from

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>people you're having to make a decision about what type

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>of pain you're gonna put them in or put yourself through,

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and what decisions are they gonna make. That intensity stays

0:07:59.040 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>for the entirety of the movie.

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, So you're not facing some unknown evil. It's nothing supernatural.

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>There is no masked man. In fact, all of the

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>people who are orchestrating this atrocity are right there in

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 2>front of you, smiling and watching and showing their faces.

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>So it's a very different twist on horror.

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>And even in some of the moments that they're having

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>at dinner, wouldn't you say? You don't agree completely, You'll

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 1>see what I'm saying. The scariest moment of this movie

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>happens happened several times when the lead bad guy says

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.239
<v Speaker 1>would you rather? And you're like, what's it going to be?

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Those are the moments would you And they say would

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you rather? Do this horrible thing? Or this horrible thing?

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And then you have thirty seconds Oh that's right the.

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Car They have a timer that adds to the tension. Yes,

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So here are some of the critic reviews. Would You

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Rather is a horror film in the tree truest sense,

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>opening up frightening doors in our minds and making us

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 2>look at parts of ourselves. It's not easy, but it

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.680
<v Speaker 2>is well done and extremely compelling.

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one. Yes, I agree with that wholeheart.

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.199
<v Speaker 1>The compelling part of it. It is you find that

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty second clock is a big deal. You got thirty

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>seconds to make a decision, so you don't have time

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to contemplate and real you have to make a split

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>second decision.

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Yep, I think you're gonna like, I'm gonna give you

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 2>two more critic reviews that I think you're really going

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to fall in line with and entertaining an incredibly demented

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 2>commentary on how easily our wills can break when given

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 2>the proper price.

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Tag Man got heavy on us there. That is, it

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>is a little insight into desperation, what you are willing

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to do and willing to do to somebody else. And

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>look all those these folks weren't there for selfish reasons.

0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>They were there to try to say the lives of

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>somebody else. So yeah, it does add a very a

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>very interesting piece of humanity to this story.

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 2>This is a movie when you watch it, there will

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>be conversations afterwards and maybe even throughout, like you would

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe even pause the movie and have a conversation like

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>this is something where it does it is thought provoking. Yeah,

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>with the moral dilemmas.

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if it doesn't your thought and your conversation

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.439
<v Speaker 1>isn't that profound? You're at least going to turn to

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody and say, what did you do? Right? It's just

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>fun in that way. What would you do? What would

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you do? Which one would you take?

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Because some of the characters make selfless choices.

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and it.

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't end well, but yes, that's very okay. Here's another one.

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 2>It's smart, slick and delightfully sick, with a horrific but

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 2>compelling game of survival that manages to give audiences a

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 2>little food for thought along with their horror.

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow, okay, we do feel valid. Okay, we can do that.

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 1>We need to Okay, we need to do need to

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>be horror movie critics.

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, I think so. We like all of those, but

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 2>here is one of the bad reviews. An ungainly horror

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 2>film that tries to twist the genre in a new

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.439
<v Speaker 2>direction but fails utterly. There are some truly horrific scenes,

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 2>but nothing worth remembering afterwards. Really disagree when they brought

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 2>the tub in, Oh my, I remember a lot. Some

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 2>of the things I wish I could not remember that

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 2>are still with me. So I would love to be

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 2>this critic where I could forget what I saw because

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 2>there are really tough moments that are still in my head. Okay,

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>some audience reviews, I always think these are really interesting

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 2>because these are folks like us who just are lovers

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 2>of horror movies and have their genuine reactions. I thought this.

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.319
<v Speaker 2>These were pretty cool. Despite a downer of an ending,

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 2>This is a great horror flick with despicable characters and

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 2>some gnarly moments without showing too much. I agree the

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:57.959
<v Speaker 2>gore didn't go over the top.

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>That is true. The scenario sounded worst and they end

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>up executing them. That is a very good point. It is.

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>There was a couple killing and some blood and some

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>shocking this and that, but it is not a body

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>horror or a gore type movie at all. That's a

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 1>good point to make.

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 2>And here's here's another one I heard I saw from

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 2>an audience review. It was kind of a med review,

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 2>but it still made me laugh. Okay, this wasn't an

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>amazing movie by any means. There were a lot of

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>dumb decisions and that certain characters made, but overall I

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.839
<v Speaker 2>actually enjoyed watching it. It was a fun movie. Exclamation point,

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 2>and again, it's one of those things where you take

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>it for what it is, which is I thought it

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 2>was innovative. I thought it was clever. It's a game.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>We all know. It's a game we've all played, but

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 2>never like this, and I think that's what made it intriguing.

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>And yes it did. I felt like I was squirming.

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I was uncomfortable. And again, if you don't like being uncomfortable,

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 2>this movie isn't for you, because I was uncomfortable from

0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 2>start to finish.

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, soon as you realize what this thing is, what

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 1>this game is, then you have another hour plus of

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.839
<v Speaker 1>the movie that they're at this dinner playing this game. Oh,

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>this is the doozy. This is a good one. And

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I understand I can't necessarily disagree with a lot of

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 1>what you read. The one there was a little harsh,

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>but I get the criticism. All right.

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.079
<v Speaker 2>When we come back, we're going to talk about why

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 2>it's on the list, who it's for, who it's not for,

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 2>the food, drink, atmosphere pairing, where to watch it, and

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 2>of course it t ease for our next movie on

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 2>the list, continuing our number twenty on our horror hit list.

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Would you rather? All right, We're going to talk about

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>why this made our list. We feel like we've made

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 2>the case, but just to be on record, this is

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 2>an edge of your seat, what's going to happen next movie?

0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 2>It is tense. It is intense, and you have to

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>be in that mindset to want to be in that place,

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.599
<v Speaker 2>because this is not something you sit back, enjoy and

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 2>have fun and watch popforn You are invested and you

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's it's thrilling and sickening all at once.

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Is that a good way to put it?

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it'll make you think I'm okay with that?

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Is this one horror movie? One of the few on

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the lists. I cannot remember a single jump scare, no,

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know what movie.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It's all set in one room. I can imagine the

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>budget must have been almost nothing. That's why they were

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 2>able to just limit release and put it on video

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>on demand, because I can't imagine this costs much to

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 2>make other than perhaps the amazing actors' salaries, because there

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 2>is a stellar cast associated with this. The acting is phenomenal,

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>The script is great, but it is uncomfortable. So who

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 2>is it not for? Not for the faint of heart.

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 2>It's not that gory, so it's interesting. It's not there's

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 2>no there's not a lot of blood and gouts. I

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 2>mean there's some, but it's not point where that would

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>be a turnoff. It's just difficult to watch because of

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the moral dilemmas, and you just feel this sense of like, no, oh, God,

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 2>don't tell me they're gonna do that. It's and that's

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 2>where I say it's similar to Saw because you're anticipating

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 2>horror in a way that your whole body is involved.

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 2>So if you don't like that, and I get that,

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 2>because some people are like, look, I don't really like torture,

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 2>and Saw is on the edge from me. You mentioned hostile.

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't like hostele. I don't like extended torture. This

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 2>was right on the line for me in terms of

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 2>movies that I can that I can enjoy and barely tolerate,

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 2>this would be right on the line for me.

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>So probably again we said there's not a lot of

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 1>blood and guts and gore and too much torture. The

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 1>problem is you're tortured the whole movie because you never

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>get a break. You actually know as soon as the

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>game starts that person's got thirty seconds. Then when that's over,

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the next person has to it just continues. You never

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 1>get a beat to do anything.

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't thought about it like that, but you're right,

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 2>that's that's part of it. There is no relief. Oftentimes

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 2>you have comedic relief. You have a break. I think

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 2>we've mentioned before when it's nighttime and you know, the

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 2>the zombies or the vampires are out. You know, when

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 2>it's daylight, you get a break. This movie, there is

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>no break.

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to think even if for a moment of levity,

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>was there even a joke cracked.

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, if there was, I don't remember it because it

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>was so intense.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the guy was so diabolical in everything he

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>did and how he said it. Yeah, this is a

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 1>well it seems like like, gee, Amy TJ, y'all really

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>are recommending this, y'all. Don't make it sound great, right,

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a great experience, and it's.

0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Again, you have to be a certain kind of horror

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 2>movie lover to like this movie. And we won't get

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 2>into why and how, because I I'm not gonna judge

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 2>myself or you on this one, babe, But we do

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 2>like this movie. Obviously it made our list. Now in

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 2>terms of food, drink, atmosphere pairing. You have to watch

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 2>the movie to know why. This might be kind of

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 2>funny because if you like, well, like a brandy or

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.159
<v Speaker 2>a steak, well, they become a part of the story

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 2>in a couple of different ways. There's a vegetarian and

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 2>somebody who has recovered from alcoholism as a part of

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 2>the game itself. Would you rather But that is just

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the beginning. So I just suggested wine and steak or

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>brandy and steak or some sort of whatever you want

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 2>to indulge yourself in. And again, just understand that your

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 2>stomach might be a knots so not sure how hungry

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:44.399
<v Speaker 2>you would be.

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Scotch scotch. This is a scotch movie, Like you need

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.439
<v Speaker 1>This is one where something stress will happen. You go, oh, man,

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.439
<v Speaker 1>I need a drink. This is that movie. After every

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 1>one of those scenarios, you go, you're almost breathing hard.

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Relieve that you just have moment, but the intensity, Yeah,

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 1>you need a.

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Scotch sipping scotch. I actually could get totally behind that.

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 2>That is this kind of movie. And you are the

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:13.160
<v Speaker 2>diabolical lead of this is, as we mentioned, an aristocrat.

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 2>It's set in a gorgeous dining room, it's opulent, there's

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and and for sport. This man is offering you know

0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:23.360
<v Speaker 2>how much money it was. It was it was life

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 2>changing money to whoever wins. So there is wealth all around.

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 2>And these folks who are desperate and they need the

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 2>money for specific reasons. A lot of them have very

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 2>altruistic reasons why they're sitting around this table trying to

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 2>win this money at all costs. So yeah, I think

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 2>that works. Scotch works. Where to watch it, well, you

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 2>can watch it on Hulu, you can watch it on

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Disney Plus, AMC Plus, and of course you can just

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 2>get it on demand, but if you have any of

0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 2>those services, it will be free along with your subscription.

0:18:55.760 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 2>So check it out. Ooh would you rather? And we

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 2>hope you have a really interesting conversation with the folks

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 2>you watch it with. And I do think this is

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 2>fun to watch in a group setting because it does

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 2>create conversation. Our next movie, our next episode. It will

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 2>be number nineteen, reading into the teens. We're counting down.

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 2>And a little tease. I'm hoping I don't give this

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 2>away too much by teasing the next movie. But it

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 2>is a movie that was made during the pandemic, and

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 2>any movie that was made during the pandemic has a

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.399
<v Speaker 2>slightly different look to this, But man, it's a movie

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:36.440
<v Speaker 2>about making a movie, and it's not just scary, it's

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 2>really really funny. All right. With that, we hope you'll

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 2>continue to listen to our deep cuts for now. I'm

0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Amy Roebuck alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
