1 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. Sit It's Friday night, October twenty fourth. 2 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: You are looking for a good horror movie to get 3 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: you in the move for Halloween is just a week away. 4 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: But we got one for you, and Kevin Bacon's daughter 5 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: is in it and she is very, very skewy. Welcome 6 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: everybody to this episode of Amy and TJ. We continue 7 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: to count down our horror hit list. We are at 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: can you Believe it? Rose? We have made it to 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: number eight and this is one of our newer entries 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: on the list. 11 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: We in fact it's new, but there's already a sequel 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: and oh yeah, that was spectacular as well, but we 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: have to stick with the original smile for our number 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: eight on our horror hit list. It was released in 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, so three years ago. It's longer. It 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: might be one of the longer or longest movies on 17 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: our list. It's an hour and fifty six minutes. But 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: I have to tell you it is so entertaining. It 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: lies by. I had no idea that this was a 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: little longer than the others. Usually you can tell. 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: You can feel I did not. It surprise me as well. 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: This is a two hour horror movie. And those are 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: few and four between. 24 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: Actually, there really are not many, because it's hard to 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: keep that kind of suspense going for that long without 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: it getting ridiculous. But this one manages to just strike 27 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 2: the perfect balance horror, mystery thriller. And here's the synopsis. 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: After witnessing a bizarre traumatic incident involving a patient, a 29 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced she is being threatened by an 30 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: uncanny entity. Hmmm, does that really give it what it deserves? 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: I have an alternate down there that kind of starts 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: off the same way. After witnessing a bizarre traumatic incident 33 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: involving a patient, doctor Rose Cotter starts experiencing frightening occurrences 34 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: that she can't explain. As an overwhelming terror begins taking 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: over her life, Rose must confront her troubling past in 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: order to survive and escape her horrifying new reality. A 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: little more but still vague. 38 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: It's vague, And it's so interesting that they don't talk 39 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: about the smile. The smile about the sinister nature of 40 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: someone smiling at you but with mal intent, and we 41 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: all know the difference between the two. And it's the 42 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: creepiest thing ever. If someone smiles when they're angry, and. 43 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: I want to give this person credit. I don't have 44 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: her name, but when we saw the movie poster for 45 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: this movie, we knew we were going to see this 46 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: because it's the young lady on all the movie art 47 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: who has a very sinister smile on her face, demonic smile, 48 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: and it is just wonderful. It's so good, it's so great. 49 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: So this movie did gang busters. It made one hundred 50 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: and six million dollars domestically at the box office, another 51 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: one hundred and eleven million at the international box office. 52 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: This is a whopping two hundred and seventeen point four 53 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: million dollars. 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 2: That's why there is already been a sequel. I love 55 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: they knew they had a winner, And honestly, I think 56 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: after you watch this, you're gonna want to race out 57 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 2: and see Smile too, because it picks up right where 58 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: this one leaves off, which is really cool. I love 59 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: when horror movies do that. So this is really a 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: fun one two punch. If you love this one, you 61 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: were going to have a blast with the sequel. 62 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: Okay, I don't want to get into the sequel, but 63 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: the opening sequence of the sequel is so good. Yeah, yeah, sorry, 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to give too much away. I'm going 65 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: ahead of myself. Sorry. 66 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: Yes, but the cast, as you mentioned, so Ce Bacon, 67 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: that is Kevin Bacon and Kiras Sedgwick's daughter, and she 68 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: is so good in this film. She's so creepy. As 69 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: you mentioned, Jesse t Usher is in this. Kyle Gellner, 70 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: you know. 71 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: Him and you love everybody, and you know his face 72 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: and you're go say, where I see him? Where did 73 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: I see him? He is a great actor. He was 74 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: in The Strange Darlings, which isn't too far from maybe 75 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: being on a list as well. He's a hell of 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: an actor. 77 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: I feel like in so many of these movies, I 78 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: know the faces, yes, I just don't necessarily know the names, 79 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: because I think up until now horror movies just haven't 80 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: gotten the accolades they deserve, and so maybe the people 81 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: who unless you were already a star coming into it, 82 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: you don't necessarily get known. Your face is known, but 83 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: your name isn't known as much. 84 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: But uh director, oh yeah, but I'll saying they elevate 85 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: these movies with their performances. Know their name or not, 86 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: like we always say, justin long when we see them. 87 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: It's just like a warm blanket. Okay, we're gonna be okay, 88 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: it's so true. 89 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 2: All right. The director is Parker Finn on this. And 90 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: the Rotten Tomato score actually a little lower than I 91 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: would have thought, eighty percent, still really really good for 92 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: Rotten Tomatoes. And the audience score is pretty much in 93 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: line with the critics at seventy seven percent. 94 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: All right. The critic consensus as well, here this is 95 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: how I guess how do they come up with this? 96 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: Are they just kind of aggregating they I. 97 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: Don't know, but I always like it, and I always 98 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: feel like it kind of nails it. 99 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: So it's kind of a consensus here among the critics. 100 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: It says deeply creepy visuals and a standout Socy Bacon 101 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: further elevates smiles on settling exploration of trauma, adding up 102 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: to the rare feature that satisfyingly expands on a short 103 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: I didn't know about the short story it came from. 104 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know that either, but so many of 105 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 2: them do. Stephen King a lot of his short stories 106 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: end up becoming phenomenal movies, so that makes sense. And 107 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: then the audience consensus, you may need to pay close 108 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: attention in order to keep up with the story. But 109 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: fans of slow burning horror should leave smile with a grin. 110 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: I don't think it was slow burning. I felt like 111 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: it it picked up pretty quickly. 112 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was hard to keep up with either, 113 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: but and. 114 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: I was scared the whole time with each twist and turn. 115 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, I didn't find it difficult to keep up with. 116 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: So I put this negative critic review at the top. 117 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why, but somebody said I did not 118 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: have fun watching this, relying too much on jump scares 119 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: and not enough payoff. Huh. I think there's so many 120 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: scenes in this movie that don't involve jump scares but 121 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: make your skin crawl. Not because of violence, but I 122 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: mean email, the birthday party scene. Nobody died in that, 123 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: but you were so uncomfortable the time the woman comes 124 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: up to the window. There's no violence involved, but it's scary. 125 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: I love the Yes, I mean that is so good. 126 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: So wait, is this the same negative review? It's formally okay, okay, 127 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: this is a good one, all right. It's formal technique 128 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: transforms a film full of cliches into an average story 129 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: that manages to make an impact at the right moments 130 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: that seems a little harsh, though it's wow, you started 131 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: off negative, You're gonna end positive. I'm hoping we'll see 132 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: all right, smile. It is an intense horror film dealing 133 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: with survivor's guilt that exceeds all expectations. By the film's end, 134 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: I found my palm sweating, something I'd never experienced. I 135 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 2: totally get that, But it's funny. I didn't really feel 136 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: like the film was dealing with survivor's guilt. 137 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: Okay, then let's do the next one for you here, 138 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: the negative one soci began, gives what a film purporting 139 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: to take trauma seriously deserves. But when the only solution 140 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: to ridding oneself of specific trauma is to either kill 141 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: yourself or someone else, just how seriously can we take 142 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: it beyond it's overload of jump scares? 143 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: Wait, I didn't think this was a serious movie about trauma. 144 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: This is a horror film. 145 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: Would people find meaning and storylines? And yes, it's fine, 146 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: and people look for those things, but they seem to 147 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: be looking for something serious. But then they don't also 148 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: realize it's a horror movie. So we have to do 149 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: a twist. It seemed like everything should have been literal. 150 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fascinating to me when there's a movie because 151 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: I'm actually reading these off for the first time. You 152 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: put this together. I am so surprised because I thought 153 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: this movie was such a gem. I mean, obviously we 154 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: put it a number eight, so we loved this movie. 155 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: It's interesting to hear criticism of it in something I 156 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: would never have even consider another one. Though the ending 157 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: may go against the rather spelled out message, the film 158 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: has plenty of good characters, ideas, and best of all, scares. 159 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: I just don't think there was enough love for this 160 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: movie from the critics. 161 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: Well, I mean they're looking for something else of meaning 162 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: and examining trauma and the way we're supposed to do 163 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: it and the way you deal with it is not 164 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: by killing somebody or killing yourself. That's not how we 165 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, we know, because it's a horror movie. 166 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't know it. 167 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm doing. 168 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: People look for a little different meanings. I put a 169 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: bunch of critic or excuse me, audience reviews in here 170 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: for a reason because there were a lot and a 171 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: lot of good win so I'm gonna blow through them. 172 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: One here is negative, but I also found it funny. 173 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Not enough smiling, way too long between people smiling, creepy smiles. 174 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: I could have gotten more smiles. The more they did it, 175 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: the more I loved it. 176 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, but they're effective when it happens. Oh, 177 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: it's great, all right. Smile is an incredibly creepy and 178 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: overall unsettling horror film. It creates, or it certainly rather 179 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: has a overall deeper meaning to the story of what 180 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: happens when someone witnesses the truly horrifying trauma and how 181 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: it sticks with you throughout your life and eats you 182 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: up from the inside. 183 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: Nope, I never ever considered anything other than something supernatural 184 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 2: and scary. 185 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: This is one you'll find funny. Simply says, stressful and boring? 186 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: Can those two things exist? Are you ever sitting around 187 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: stressed and bored? 188 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: No? You can't be both. That's so fun you oxymoron. 189 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: You're gonna love this one. Then. Smile presents a gripping 190 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: psychological horror rooted in dread rather than jump scares. Yet 191 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: it falters with a weak story foundation and underdeveloped character arcs. 192 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: While the visuals, sound design and unique camera work, bill suspense, 193 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: effectively repetitive effects, and a predictable ending slightly dull the impact. 194 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: I'm so sorry that Juilliard grad didn't like Smile? What 195 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: was that? Wow? Have you looked up in the dictionary? 196 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: Takes yourself too serious? Wait? You just picked all neggetive? 197 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 2: Was there any I don't like any good reviews with this. No. 198 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: The concept of this movie is impossibly unique. 199 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: Which is unique is never good if you if you 200 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: were going to date somebody and someone said, well, she's unique, 201 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 2: that's not a good review of. 202 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: Something it is. No, this is this is, folks, what 203 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing with in the house. You don't wait to 204 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: see the rest. It is impossibly unique, which in itself 205 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: is a huge reason to be drawn in. If you're 206 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: a fan of ghosts and haunting type movies, this will 207 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: absolutely be right up your alley. Christ on sale. It 208 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: was a compliment another here Smiles the first horror film 209 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: to truly genuinely scare me. 210 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 2: So yeah, it is scary. I guess it's funny because 211 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: I do appreciate that somebody at least recognized that this 212 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: is about ghosts and haunting. I just I think, I 213 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: think that's great if you found a message about survivor's 214 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: guilt or grief. But I really do think the whole 215 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: point was that if she hadn't then been haunted herself, 216 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 2: she probably would have gotten over her patients very disturbing experience. Again, 217 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 2: we just I would never have gone there and thought 218 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 2: that that was what the movie should have or was 219 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 2: supposed to be about. 220 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: So why is it on the list for you? Why 221 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: is this one not just on the list it's in 222 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: number eight. 223 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 2: It is up there because it scared me in a 224 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: way that I have not been scared in a while. 225 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: With that creepy scare. It stays with you, that smile. 226 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: When I closed my eyes at night, I could see 227 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 2: it and it would scare me, like it's hard to 228 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 2: get an image like that out of your head. And 229 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: they just did such a good job of using it 230 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: effectively where you really did feel like, oh my god, 231 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: if someone looked at me, if I linger, or if 232 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: I'm in their presence, I could then catch that demon 233 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: or that demonic thing could be anyway. It really creeped 234 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 2: me out. So yes, I loved it. 235 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: It does I think to the creep factor it I mean, 236 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: it's a hell of a scenario. The only way you 237 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: can break this curse is if you got to kill 238 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: somebody or you have to die and just that idea, right, 239 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: like one of those impossible scenarios. What do you do? 240 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: The performances in this are off the charts. Ve got 241 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: cal Penn shows up again. 242 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: He has been showing up in some horror movies. 243 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: Another small but very significant role that he plays in 244 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: this one. And I do love. Yes, there are some 245 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: deaths and whatnot and some jump scares, but I love 246 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: that this movie disturbs you without violence. I love that 247 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: it does freak you out without anybody having to bleed 248 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: or there are a few. 249 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: People who do bleed though, and that's very freaky as well. Yes, 250 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: I agree. 251 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Well, folks, stay with us here just a second. We'll 252 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: tell you if this movie is for you, and we'll 253 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: also tell you if it's not for you. And of 254 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: course always the drum roll, Excited to see what food 255 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: and drink pairings Robaka has come up with this time. 256 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 2: Stay here, Welcome back to Amy and TJ, where we 257 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: are talking about number eight on our Halloween horror hit list. Smile. 258 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 2: This is the original twenty twenty two, and this movie 259 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: stays with you, just a creepy, demonic smile that just 260 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 2: ends up being the undoing of everyone who sees it. 261 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 2: It's quite the movie, and it was well reviewed, and 262 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: it did amazing amazing at the box office. Is now streaming, 263 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: and if you like it, you can actually keep on 264 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: watching Smile too, because we actually highly recommend the sequel, 265 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: which doesn't always happen. So this is a great COMBA 266 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 2: waiting for Smile three, though. 267 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: I think they've okayed, I really I think they do. 268 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: I do think a Smile three in the works. 269 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: All right, So who is this for? I think we 270 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: think this is for everybody, as long as if you 271 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: don't want to get too scared by those images of 272 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 2: the creepy smile, you can just cover your eyes for 273 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: a little while. 274 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a movie. You don't necessarily want to 275 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: run out and you're going to be grossed out. But 276 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: every once in a while it's fun to want to 277 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: squint or cover your face because something's scaring you just enough. 278 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: This is a fun experience. 279 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: You've seen me doing that all the time. Somehow I 280 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: feel safer if my hand is in front of my face, 281 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: even though I can see through my fingers. You just 282 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: feel protected. But yes, this right, and you say this 283 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: is for fans of it follows. 284 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: Do you remember that horror movie? That horror movie. It's 285 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: a cult favorite, but yeah, that kind of concept of 286 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: passing something along to break a curse and yes, time 287 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: ticking down all that. If you like that kind of concept. 288 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: Wait, you just reminded me of one of my favorite 289 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: horror movies with Denzel Washington and he witnesses an execution 290 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: and the guy sings, time is on your side, fallen. 291 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: That's the name of it. It's so good. But it's 292 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: the same concept. The evil spirit jumps from person to 293 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: person and oh my god, it's I'd never realized that, 294 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 2: but yes, it reminds me of that. Who was it 295 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: not for. 296 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, anybody who's kind of creeped out a little easily 297 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: by ghosts and hauntings and spirits and not necessarily possession. 298 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: I don't think this is. 299 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 2: There's a little bit of possession. 300 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: Though, with this matter of passing this thing along. 301 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: I mean it's a possession. Actually it is possession. If 302 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: this one creeps yet, you're forced to do things you 303 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: wouldn't ordinarily do in this movie. 304 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: It's just the one act, isn't it at the end. Yeah, okay, yeah, 305 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: we don't want to give too much away who it's 306 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: not for if you need like a little comedic break, 307 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: if you need just something to break up the tension. 308 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: I don't remember a moment this, even cow Penn is 309 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: not funny. 310 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, that's a very good point. You might 311 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: think that that would have been a moment, but it wasn't. 312 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: This is a horror drama, thriller, it's not. There's no 313 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: comedy in it. That's a really good point if you're 314 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: looking for anything, it's not. It's fun in a scary way. 315 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 2: Like if getting or being scared is fun to you, 316 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: which it is to us, then that's how it's fun. Yes, 317 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: but it's not necessarily a blast exactly. But man, it 318 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 2: leaves you feeling something. I would not watch this alone, 319 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: and I do think this could be a fun group setting. 320 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: Certainly would want to be with my significant other for sure. 321 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: Wow, okay, we can leave it blank. What is your 322 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: food here? 323 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: It is? I actually did a little thinking on this one. 324 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: So you're watching smile, so we want to just make 325 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 2: sure that we're all good, because you know, you're going 326 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: to be playing with the person or the people are 327 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: you're with smiling at them creepily, So you don't want 328 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: anything staining your teeth or in your teeth. So no 329 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: red wine completely out. I'd stick with white wine or champagne. 330 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: Fine with beer two and then maybe a crue de 331 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: tape platter with a ranch dip, because celery, carrots, all 332 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: that are really good for keeping your teeth white and 333 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: clean and all of that. 334 00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: I look this up. 335 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: It's true. Dentist suggest you eat raw vegetables or raw fruit, 336 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: but you get into the berries, they could stain your teeth, 337 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 2: so stay away from those. A cheese plate is good, 338 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: and maybe some grapes, and now your teeth are shiny 339 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: and clean and white and ready to smile. 340 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: I don't even know where to begin with you on 341 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: this one.
