In a world where everyone and their 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.839 mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.600 ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.920 A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.000 a walking I M. David which Glasses from the Nashville 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:04.959 Podcast Network. Jesus movie movie about to get into my 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.959 conversation with Corey Felman and Jamison new Lander talking about 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.039 the movie The Lost Boys, which they played the Frog Brothers. 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.800 The movie came out back in nine seven and it 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.399 is celebrating its thirty five anniversary this year, which The 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.360 movie is about a family moving back into their grandfather's 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:26.000 house in a California town nicknamed the murder Capital of 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.800 the World. The kid in that family is Corey him 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.559 the other famous Corey from the eighties, and Corey's brother 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.959 in that movie gets involved with the vampire gang and 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.360 that's where Corey Felman and Jamison new Landers characters come 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.040 into play, who work at the comic book store in town, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.360 and they are also undercover vampire hunters, so they helped 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.200 Corey Jim's character save the rest of the town from 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.880 this vampire gang. Corey has been in movies like The 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.480 Goonies where he played mouth stand by Me, Gremlins, and 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.600 of course The Lost Boys where he and Jamison new 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.080 Lander first met. The Lost Boys, I'm sure that fun 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.559 horror energy of the eighties. So if you haven't seen 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.440 this movie in a while, or you haven't seen it 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.560 at all, it's actually available now on four K and digital. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.359 If you want to go and watch it. We talk 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.280 all about the behind the scenes of what they remember 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.040 from making this movie, and we even talk about Corey 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.800 him who him and Corey Felman were really good friends 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.440 up until he passed away in And another thing I'll 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.320 mention is, whenever I get to do these, they usually 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.760 want me to stick to the movie they are promoting, 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.040 which is The Lost Boys, and that's what I try 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.600 to do. Sometimes I get notes back saying you gotta 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.200 stick on the movie. So I worked in questions to 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.480 get them to talk about the movies they've been in 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.000 without just going after it. But I knew the task 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.640 at hand. I just know I couldn't bring you, guys, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.720 a Corey Felman interview without talking about the Goonies. That 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.880 would be a disservice to you. I really love this 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.839 conversation with an eighties icon. So here we go. Let's 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.720 get into the interview with Corey Felman and Jamison Newlander. Hey, movie, Mike, 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.520 how you do it? I am great. It's an honor 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.600 to get to talk to you guys. I gotta say 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.480 I rewatched The Lost Boys over the weekend, in a 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.760 movie that only took twenty one days to film. But 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.040 here we are, thirty five years later talking about it. 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.040 I wonder how often do you guys rewatch the movies 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.240 that you've been in. Well, Corey's got a lot more 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.160 movies to rewatch, to watch them a lot. I watched Lost, 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.840 I watched I watched Lost Boys a lot. And you've 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.600 been in four movies with me. Yeah, I've been a lot. 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.440 You know. I tend to like really look at myself, 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.200 like I'm really sort of vain in that way, Like 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.440 I just really look at myself again and again and 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.639 again and and uh so I kind of obsessed about myself. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:37.440 So I watched my lot. At least he's an honest guy. 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:43.600 You about you, Corey? Uh yeah, probably more than I'd like. Um, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.480 but I'm you know, I love watching the movie when 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.400 it first comes out. I love to to criticize myself 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.000 or criticize the whole thing, or appreciate it as well. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:58.120 But you know, I have to say, after thirty forty times, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.320 love for the passion of it, you know, kind of 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.840 wears off a bit. But you know, like for example, 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.120 over the weekend, I did a convention. I've been on 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.320 tour with my band all over America, over the last 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.760 five weeks. One of those events that I actually performed 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.440 at was a Lost Boys convention, which was strictly just 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.120 for Lost Boys. Were doing another one actually on Halloween. 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.600 They're doing a big Lost Boys event in Dallas, Texas 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.880 where they're showing the movie and I'm performing. Im gonna 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.960 see if I can get you out there. But anyway, 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.000 so you know, there's a lot of that with Lost Boys. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.279 And then like I just did a convention over the 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.560 weekend where it was more centered on Goon East and 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.200 they actually showed the movie in this giant, uh like 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.679 theater for you know, plays like theater for the arts, 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.760 and on the stage they had an entire orchestra. It 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:54.120 was the it was the Utah Philharmonic and yeah, and 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.800 it was really cool. So so watching the entire movie 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.240 scored in real life was to be awesome, I must say. So, 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.320 you know, every once in a while, there's a little 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.599 special attribute, like when Gooneys came out in four K 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.000 had to watch Goodies and four K obviously I'm gonna 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.400 want to watch this one in four k. Uh. So 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.160 it's always nice to see, you know, the changes when 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.400 they freshen it up and sweeten it up and stuff 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.760 like that, but it's got to be something very special 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.599 to make me go watch it again. Well yeah, And 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.039 also the thing about Corey is that it's like for me, 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.920 I can watch my movies, like, you know, Lost Boys 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.679 is big eighties movie for me, but it's like Corey's 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.279 got Lost Boys, Goonies, you know, stand by Me, uh, 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.800 you know, License to Drive, Gremlins. I mean, the list 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.400 goes on, so you can't be watching those constantly or 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.640 you're not gonna get anything else done. Yeah. I don't 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.880 think my ego is big enough to handle that. You know, 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.240 I can only fit in so much. But you know, honestly, 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.640 it's fun when, like I said, when it first starts, 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.400 when you first see him, it's exciting. And then as 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.599 time goes on and it dissipates and the thing is 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.760 then it becomes kind of that thorn in your side 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.559 of like, oh my god, don't make me watch this movie. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.479 So like the organ thing was beautiful, but I stayed 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.120 for ten minutes and then I was like, Okay, Jamison, 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.840 you started to list all of Corey's movies and this 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.480 was the first movie you ever did, right, the first 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.440 big movie I've done some things here and there, but 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.560 you were already in the Blob right when the Blob 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.800 after So when you come into a movie like this 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.200 and Corey has just been in all of these big 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.599 eighties movies, how does that feel getting to work with 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.400 him for the first time and being cast as brothers. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.160 So it was a dream come true really because I 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.800 was watching Corey. I was watching both cories. Actually, you 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.160 know Corey and Goonies and and you know Gremlins and 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.520 and you know him in like in in Lucas and 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.680 things like that, so we're BULLI yeah, And so it's 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.440 like for me, it was a dream come true. I 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.240 was sitting there working with these guys, and you know what, 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.719 they were all really sweet. They were all really nice, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.839 great guys to work with, really giving on camera. You know, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.560 when we worked together, it wasn't like, you know, oh, 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.200 you've only done a couple. It wasn't like that at all. 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.960 They were just very welcoming. It was beautiful. That's why 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.599 we're still friends. That's hazed him the old time. We 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.160 hated him the whole time. He would never talk to all. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:08.160 This beautiful friendship done and Corey, this was the first 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.560 time that you worked with the other Corey was that 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.640 like an instant connection of you guys just having that 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.239 on screen chemistry as well as off screen. Absolutely, And 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.760 and the interesting thing is that we were actually set 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.960 up to be uh you know, kind of enemies or 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:27.040 something like that, you know, Nemesis or something. Yeah, because uh, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:31.080 you know, the backstory is I was in love with 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.040 this girl. There's always a girl, you know. So I 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:38.320 was with this girl, Robin Lively actually as a kid. 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.000 Uh you know, like she was like kind of the 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.600 apple of my eye because I met her at the 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.679 Youth in Film Awards and right, and I became friends 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.640 with her brother. You know, we became really close, Jason 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.680 and I. Um, and so she started dating Corey. But 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.880 to me, she was giving me the friend thing, you know. 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:58.920 It's like, oh, we're just gonna be friends. Like you're 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.040 so cute, we're so some Yeah you can give him 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.960 back like best friend in the world. You're like a 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.360 brother to me. And then I like see like her 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.080 getting all like swooning over this guy that I don't 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.440 know who he is. She's like, Oh, Corey is so cute, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.360 he's so this, and he's so that. I was like, 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.680 who's this guy? I'm right here. You know, you don't 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.440 have to say Corey third person. I'm right here. But no, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.160 she was like, no, this other Corey. He's an actor too. 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.680 He's so cute, he's so awesome, and so I didn't 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.760 know he was. And then when I was doing my 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.560 wardrobe fitting for Lost Boys, Joel says, we've got the 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.520 two Corries. It's gonna be a crazy and I was like, 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.480 what do you mean? Wait? What two corries? Who are they? 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.720 I mean, I'm here, but I'm just one person. So 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.320 he's like, no, no, no, Corey Ham And I was like, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.120 there's that name again. Uh so you had met? Yeah, 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.480 so that was the backstory why you know, we could 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.120 have been rivals. But then I get a phone call. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.560 I come home from school one day and there's a 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.200 message on my answering machine. Remember those, you know, you 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.480 play the list tape so anyway, you have linking life. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.679 So any way, so I come home and there's this 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.439 message like, hey man, how are you doing buddy? It's 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.800 Corey came. We're gonna be working together. I thought we 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.760 should connect, you know, maybe you can like hang out, 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.200 go to the beach whatever. And I'm like, wow, okay, 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:16.200 now what I expected. Very friendly, very open. And the 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.200 first day we met, we went to the beach together. 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.199 We had this great time. We went back to his place, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.280 we connected, we told stories. It was just it was 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:28.800 like an immediate spark, an immediate best friend connection. And 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.360 you know, it never changed, you know, it was throughout 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.959 his whole life, you know, until the end. We were 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:38.040 we were close. Jamison. Looking back on filming this movie, 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.720 do you have a favorite picture from the set, like 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.880 just hanging out or if it's like a promo picture, 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.600 what's your favorite picture from the movie. Well, you're saying 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.920 like mental picture, me like like an actual picture like 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.200 you maybe you have in your house somewhere, or just 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.720 one that you've kept over the years. I mean, um, 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.400 that's an interesting question actually, because there's a bunch of pictures, 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.559 and there are some nice candid pictures of of us 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.000 hanging out outside the I'm a bookstore, Um, which I 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.600 think probably will would be the ones that I don't 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.280 even have them, I don't think, but I could probably 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.600 track them down you're looking for them. I'm just just 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.199 like where I was. I was in my groove then, 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.080 you know, the comic book store. I was in my group. 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.640 Those scenes were about us and the work we've done 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.640 was really paying off and everybody was loving it as 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.719 we were doing it, and so, um so I think 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.280 that's probably the those images of me just really being 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.280 a part of the part of the crew and in 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.960 my groove. I think that's, uh, that's probably it. What 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:34.480 about you, Corey, Um, you know, I was I was 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.280 in a lot of transition, you know, working all the time, 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.360 going from one movie to the next, and constantly doing 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.040 photo shoots and paparazzi and all that kind of stuff 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.640 that you know, you do the team magazines. You're literally 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.560 doing like photo shoots every day. Um So, I don't 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.320 think and I wasn't very good at saving stuff. You know. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.440 My mom didn't really teach me very well how to 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.640 be organized. So that's something that all came later in 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.840 life as I matured and I grew up and I 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:03.319 started to you know, actually saved things because they mattered. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.520 So I can't say that I saved a lot of stuff. 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.360 But there's certain things that I see in magazines or 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.000 you know, they'll pop up from time to time on 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:16.320 the internet, and I know that there's uh probably around 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.680 the same thing that you're talking about there's some white 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.000 photos of like us hanging out on the bikes, I remember, 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.160 and there's like there's stuff that's just off the set, 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.040 but on the set, you know what I mean, we're 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.240 in we're in our character's clothing, but we're like smiling 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.720 and laughing and hanging out and those are those are 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.120 nice pictures And I think it's probably the same set 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.840 that he's talking about. What about the issue number one 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.560 of Vampires Everywhere? Is that still in existence, the one 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.440 you guys all signed. Not only is it in existence, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:51.960 but there's replica after replica replica, Like pretty much every 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.840 time we do a convention, at least five people have 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.079 got one of those, you know what I mean, Like 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.679 there there's somebody out there that's like printing mass quantities 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.400 of them. And the interesting thing is they've even figured 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.280 out what the pages were in between, because it's not 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.160 just the cover. There's actually the the copy of the 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.920 pages that were in the original, which is, you know, 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:17.920 kind of a loosely illustrated vampire comic. But and and 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:22.440 it even featured Keeper right that like Keeping. Yeah, so 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.959 it was interesting. But yeah, I like to sign those prey. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.559 You never need to call us, you know, So you're 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.560 telling me the one I got on eBay is a fake, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.040 it's not the real one. Well, it depends on what 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.600 you paid. I think the original real one. I don't 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.240 know if that exists anymore. But not. So we're all 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.560 real in a way, right, Well, they all look the same, 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.920 and I, in fact, I've got one in my entry 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.840 way sitting on my grandmother's piano, which is an antique piano. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.920 So you know it's there. And if you see us, 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.520 well we'll sign it and that'll make it official. I 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.760 won't sign it outside that. Well, I appreciate the time, honor, 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.800 get to talk to you guys. Thanks for being there. 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:05.600 Moved all right, have a good one. All right, let's 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.240 get into a movie review. Now. Let's talk about a 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:13.040 movie called Smile. Its stars Kevin Bacon's daughter, Soci Bacon. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.800 It's from first time director Parker Finn, and the movie 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.960 has done some very creepy marketing. Maybe you've seen during 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.800 the MLB games there's just this girl standing there smiling. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.280 They paid her to do that. So I thought that 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.839 marketing was genius and top level. When you're trying to 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.640 promote a movie like this, the only thought I had 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.199 when I saw that was either this movie is going 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.600 to be amazing and they just went above and beyond 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.800 it their marketing to get everybody interested in this movie, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.640 or the movie was kind of bad and they needed 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.440 some kind of viral moment or gimmick to get people 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.600 to go watch this movie. So by the end of 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.560 this review, I will tell you which one it ended 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.640 up being. But before I get into the full review, 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.040 here's just a little bit of the Smile trailer. A 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:04.240 patient in your God brutally in front of you. I 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:09.640 need to find an explanation for what happened. I don't 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.200 know twenty cases involving the nineteen victims of the direct line, 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:21.640 linking them all together, he said, only nineteen. What is 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.600 it that everybody else we've seen it is dead in 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.760 your life? I've seen it too. The movie had my 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.760 interest from the very first time I saw this trailer. 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.040 It looked eerie, it looked creepy, and you pair that 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.920 with the marketing. I was excited for it, but I 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.720 was also hesitant because anytime there is a tactic like that, 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.360 it's either going to be something I love or something 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.800 I just hate. And what ended up happening with smile 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.320 is I would lean more towards on the side of 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.320 hating it. So what this movie is about, it's this 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.960 character named Dr Rose Cotter played by Kevin Bacon's daughter, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.880 soci Bacon. First time director Parker Finn, So maybe that 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.000 has a little bit to do with the overall feeling 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.800 of this movie. But she witnesses this crazy, bizarre, traumatic 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.560 incident at the very beginning of the movie, involving a patient. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:14.160 She works at this mental psychiatric facility as a therapist 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.040 and trying to help all these people who come in 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.960 with these unusual problems, and there is this patient who 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.800 is trying to explain to her all of these things 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.880 she can't explain happening in her life, involving some kind 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.800 of a demonic presence. And after that interaction with that patient, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.320 Dr Carter as well starts having all of these frightening 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:39.360 experiences and then is going throughout the entire movie trying 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.240 to get some answers. And this movie had a very 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.720 promising start. It had an eerie feel in the beginning 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.800 from that opening scene. It was a little bit hard 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.640 for me to watch. And I don't get scared by 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.040 horror movies. I love horror movies. I love blood and guts, 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.440 so that stuff doesn't really bother me at all. But 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.160 I found myself early on being a little bit creeped out. 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.320 I felt a little bit like I wanted to look 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.200 away at certain points, but I was into it, and 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.800 those first ten minutes really kind of got me hooked, 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.000 and I was like, all right, this is about to 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.160 be a really great movie. And then the movie really 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:17.600 really dragged. And I don't know why. Horror movies just 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.640 tend to really want to set the stage too much 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.600 for these characters really getting into Dr Rosecotter's life in 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.640 a relationship. But I just wanted more action. I wanted 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:32.240 more of all of these demonic presences, all of these interactions, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.960 because that was the best part of the movie. And 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.040 the sad thing is a lot of those were in 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.120 the trailer. So Luckily I hadn't rewatched the trailer going 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.040 into this movie. I was trying to forget it a 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.160 little bit. But when I was going back and pulling 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.320 a clip from it, they put all the best parts 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.240 in the trailer, So if someone had just freshly watched 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.960 that trailer, they really had the entire thing spoiled for them. 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.040 Because that's what made the movie the most exciting, is 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.680 when those things happened, and it was big and loud 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.080 and kind of cheap jump scares, which is the real 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.360 problem I had with it. The actual horror in this 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.640 movie and the actual scary elements, they were all kind 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.760 of cheap. It was all just kind of out of 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.280 the corner of your eyes, something comes out, big, loud, 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.480 jarring sound, and that was the scare. What was actually 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:22.760 on screen wasn't really that scary or novel. So I 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:27.239 really love movies that explore that paranormal, explore any kind 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.520 of demonic presence. I find that stuff to be the 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.440 most scary thing, and the stuff that really, you know, 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.399 would give me a nightmare after And that's kind of 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.600 the level I look for when I watch a horror movie. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.800 I want something that is going to give me nightmares, 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.840 something that when I go home later I think about 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.560 and when I go to sleep that night it's kind 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.919 of lingering with me. But by about forty minutes in 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:53.639 this movie, I considered leaving. I was unusually bored in 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.000 a movie like this, and I didn't care enough about 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.119 her character to figure out or want to figure or 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.320 out what happens to her about forty minutes in. Already 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.840 knew what was going to happen. I knew what the 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.639 final showdown was going to be. I knew what the 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.360 twist was going to be. I just had it all 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.480 figured out, so I wanted to be tested a little 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.159 bit more as a viewer in the movie just felt 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:22.240 very generic. It was almost exactly like The Ring mixed 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.400 with a little bit of Insidious. It was those two 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:29.720 movies together, but very watered down. So I would dub 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.440 this movie a diet horror movie if you are a 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.200 big horror fan like I am, and you want something 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.040 that's really gonna go there and make your stomach kind 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.879 of queasy at certain points and be something that you 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:44.359 want to tell your other friends who are also horror fans, 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.000 to go run and watch. This isn't it. This is 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.600 more if you aren't really a fan of horror movies, 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.199 This is more probably your taste, because it's again just 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.320 a lot of quick jump scares, nothing too scary. There 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.920 were some pretty good vision Jules there towards the end 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:06.679 that we're interesting, but again nothing so unusual that I 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.400 haven't seen done before. And by the time it does 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.600 get to that point in the movie, you're kind of 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.040 just wanting it to end. Hitting that. To our remark, 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.120 this movie should have never done that. Should have been 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.879 under ninety minutes easily. I felt like there was probably 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.679 just an episode worth of content here. It could have 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.560 been a forty two minute black mirror episode maybe, but 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.880 it didn't really warrant the entire runtime that we got 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.200 out of it. Again, really great job promoting this movie. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.640 I think that's what movies have to do in this 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.800 day and age, create some buzz around it. But in 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.040 this case, it didn't really work out in its favor. 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.200 I would lean more towards hating this movie, and if 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.480 I had to rate it, I would give it a two, 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.359 but since it had that marketing, I'll give him a 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:56.040 point five for marketing. So for smile two point five 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.119 out of five smiles. I think unless you are are 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.520 really wanting to watch something in theaters with maybe some 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.880 friends or your family that will scare everybody, but you 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.639 don't really have the bar set that high. If you 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:12.080 just need that thrill in theaters. If not, definitely wait 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.640 until it's streaming and just kind of skip around through 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.680 all the scary parts. Other than that, man, I really 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.760 wanted to like this movie more, but it just didn't 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:28.120 do it for me. It's time to head down to movie. 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.560 I didn't think this would ever happen, and it is happening. 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.720 Deadpool is officially coming into the m c U and 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.760
