WEBVTT - Deep Cuts Horror Hit List #10 “Countdown” 

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>May there are folks. It is Wednesday, October the twenty second,

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and we have made it to our top ten favorite

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>horror movies that you might not know about, and number

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>ten on our list today might be a bit of

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a tough sell. And with that, welcome to this episode

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>of Amy and TJ. Roabes. This is maybe the or

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>second one of the second lowest Rotten Tomato scores.

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Correct. This one is of distinction in that the critics

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 2>gave it a very low rotten Tomato ah, but the

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>audience gave it a high Rotten Tomato score, which I

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>always think is the perfect combo, because if the critics

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 2>were looking for something I always keep using this word elevated,

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>but some sort of you know, yes, an elevated horror

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>movie experience. But if the fans just wanted to have

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>some fun and they loved it, I know that's going

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>to be a certain kind of movie we're going to enjoy.

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Always said that that is almost how you find a

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>horror movie. Critic hat it, audience loved it. That's for me,

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if we've ever missed on one.

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 2>No, I think when the audience loves it in spite

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>of the critics. It's exceptionally good.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, so this one is special in that category.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>And tell the folks robes number ten on our list

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>as we count down. Number ten movie is countdown.

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that seems appropriate. Yes, its release date was just

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>actually almost exactly six years ago, October twenty fifth, twenty nineteen.

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>It's an hour and thirty minutes, just a ninety minute

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 2>just I don't know, explosion of fun. That's how I

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 2>would describe it. And this is our only PG thirteen. Yeah,

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 2>horror movie. In fact, I feel like if you were

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 2>known that ahead of time, you wouldn't have watched it.

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe so I've known about this one for years. I

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I found it, But PG thirteen, I'm

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>thinking back to the movie. We've watched it again here

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>in the last couple of days. How tough some of

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the death scenes are? The scares? Huh? Maybe not.

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 2>It's creepy. I definitely have a few jump scares in there,

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 2>but it's not gory to the point where or foul

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 2>enough that it got that many rs. So, in fact,

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 2>that is and was among some of the complaints.

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>By folks that was scary enough for gory And yes that.

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>The PG thirteen held it back, which I agree it

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>probably did, but it helped, I think significantly at the

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 2>box office because.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know until this moment it was PG thirteen.

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and now you're like, second guest, No.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I love that I didn't know that because I probably

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>held it against it in some way been prejudiced against

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the movie. I am really loving that. I didn't know

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:47.839
<v Speaker 1>until this moment.

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll be honest. I didn't know until I did the

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>research either. I assumed it was a rated R. But

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>it does speak volumes for the box office. This is

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the reason why some movies do PG thirteen because obviously

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 2>you get in a much younger group of folks who

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>can come in, spread word on social media, et cetera,

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>and your movie can do Gangbusters that way, even though

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 2>you might piss off some diehard horror fans who like

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 2>things a little bit grittier. But box office forty eight

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>million dollars internationally, twenty five point six domestically, So it

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 2>did really well.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>World back, that's a hit for that budget.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>That's a hit six point five million for the budget.

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>That's it. So yes, this did really well, and the

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 2>rating could have had a lot to do with it.

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>The cast was great though, so her name you might

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 2>not know, Elizabeth Layle. She's the star. But if any

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>of you listening love the Netflix series You, which I

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>have been obsessed with, she is beck in You, so

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>you will know her face. She's been in a couple

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>other movies as well. Jordan Callaway such a cutie. Had

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>not seen him before, haven't seen him since. But that's

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>her co star.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh black guy, yeah, oh yeah, look the Nelly look alike.

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, I love them together too. I was rooting

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>for them the whole time. And then Ta Litha Elena

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Bateman again a name you might not know, but if

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>you are a horror movie fan, she is the little

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>girl who has polio in Annabel Creation. So she's the

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 2>star of Annabel Creation, which I think is one of

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>the best of the Conjuring adjacent movies. It's so good.

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>If you haven't seen that one, we didn't include it

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.239
<v Speaker 2>because it's a part of our classics. The whole Conjuring

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>series would take up the entire list pretty much. But

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>she is the star of Annabel Creation. So some familiar

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 2>faces and I think some great acting.

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>She's how many years older right in this one? Than Annabel.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I actually went back and looked because I was like, wait,

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 2>she was a little girl.

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>She was playing more of a hardcore teenager in.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>This correct But the difference is only I believe three years.

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>But that's the difference between being a little girl and

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 2>being a teenager. We've seen it happening with savine O.

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 2>God Like, think about it at she was nine three

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 2>years ago. Now she looks like she's eighteen.

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>So it was don't go that far.

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, she kind of does.

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>She kind of does.

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>The director justin deck. So anyway, the Rotten Tomato score

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>the aforementioned. The critics gave it a twenty six percent.

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>That's is it the lowest on our list.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I think we might have had one in the teens.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll have to go back and check screepers. But the

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 2>audience score is at seventy two percent. That's good, so

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 2>a much big difference, and again I think that's a

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>bell weather of success in terms of watchability. All right, critics, consensus,

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 2>here we go, and prepare yourselves for some bad reviews

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>here that we are going to completely disagree with. But

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the critics consensus reads countdown may offer a few fleeting

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.679
<v Speaker 2>jolts for horror fans with barren ces, but it lacks

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>enough wit or creativity to have a lasting impression.

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>It lacks enough wit in creativity. I don't take too

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>much issue with what they're saying, because did you read

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the synopsis yet?

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>You skipped right over the gift over the synopsis?

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Good, and then we'll get back to that review

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and it'll make sense. So good.

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's this, sorry, thank you for that. When a

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 2>young nurse downloads an app that claims to predict when

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 2>a person is going to die, it tells her she

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 2>only has three days to live, with time taking away

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>and death closing in, she must find a way to

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>save her life before time runs out.

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, obviously that's ridiculous.

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>That's an awesome, awesome premise for a movie.

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Though, for a supernatural mystery thriller thing. That's exactly what

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of a teeny bopper. It has to do with phones, apps, time,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>How much do you have left? Do you want to

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>know how you're gonna die? And you yes? All of

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>those things get you kind of worked up, and it's

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a part of the experience of this movie. So now

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>go to the review.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Thank you all, right, I get that. So sample critic reviews,

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 2>and it did take some time to find a good

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.799
<v Speaker 2>one among the critics, but I did find a couple.

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Countdown is pretty damn fun and does an exit one

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>job of tapping into technology driven terrors for the modern

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 2>age that completely surprised me and left me thoroughly entertained

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 2>to boot is exactly.

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>What I would say entertaining movie.

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, here is another. This is I put it in

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 2>the good category. I didn't like this movie at all,

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>but damn I had a good time.

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's fair. All right.

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Here's another one. You could get drunk and laugh at it.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>That's fair as well.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Here is another one. Think Final Destination plus flatliners, but

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>minus all of the fun.

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's too much. I don't even want to think

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>about what they were trying to say.

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Disagree too, because it is fun. It is a fun

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 2>movie period. Here's another negative review by a critic. Countdown

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 2>relies too heavily on jump scares, but still fails to

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>distract from a gimmicky premise, a poorly developed script, and

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 2>thin characters.

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a gimmicky concept. Yeah, I have an app I

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>download and it tells me exactly when I'm going to die.

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I that's a gimmick.

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I loved this movie because of that, and I actually

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>loved the conversations people were having when they found out

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 2>they had eighty more years to live. Yeah, but they

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 2>found out they had seventy two. And then it was

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>all in group settings. When was at work? When was that?

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it began at a game, like a college

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>drinking game. But yeah, you know, especially if you were

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.239
<v Speaker 2>that age, you absolutely would have downloaded that app.

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Everybody would be curious about that app because you would think,

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>there's no way it's for real, so I might as

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>well just have some fun with it. And then it

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>gives you a number, and then what are you gonna think?

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh my GOHI what if it's right. It's just that

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>it makes you have those types of conversations. So if

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it sparked something in you and the people around you,

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the movie did a good job gimmicky or not exactly.

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 2>And within the first few minutes of the movie, someone

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 2>finds out that they're gonna die in a matter of hours,

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 2>so it sets off I think a very fast pace

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 2>based situation where you have a pretty immediate death and

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 2>I have to say, I was riveted the entire time,

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.599
<v Speaker 2>and I couldn't wait to figure out how someone was

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 2>going to try and escape their death that so far

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 2>as you watch the movie unfold, no one is able

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 2>to and then all of a sudden you get the

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>main character, TikTok, TikTok. So, yeah, you're at the edge

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>of your seat.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any other negatives in the Uh?

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Well that was just from the critics. I do have

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 2>some negatives. Well, actually I found some, so it was

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.439
<v Speaker 2>easy to find positive ones'm on the audience. The negative

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>ones just got so mean. I just didn't feel like

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 2>put them in there, and I didn't want to turn

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 2>off anyone listening from watching because of these snobby critics.

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Well shown what from the audience reviews, the people who

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>took issue with it. It was there a theme to.

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Boring, that it was gimmicky, that it wasn't scary enough,

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 2>that it wasn't gritty enough.

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 1>It's it wasn't that's okay.

0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 2>It's like bubble gum.

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>It was a bubblegum horror movie. Yes, that's it.

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.439
<v Speaker 2>It's like yeah, And there's a time and a place

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 2>for them. And that's why I think we definitely wanted

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 2>to include it because I think it's fun sometimes to

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>have a bubblegum horror movie. And this is, yes, exactly

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>what it is. Sample audience reviews. Here's a couple fun ones.

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 2>This is one of those movies that I know is

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 2>not very good, yet I can't help enjoy throwing it

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 2>on every five or six months.

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Was it comfort Yeah, so it's.

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Like chicken soup for horror movie fans.

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a comforting movie. It's not going to scare the

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>hell out of you. You're going to catch something that

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you missed once before. It's not even one you have

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to sit down and even pay close attention to. You

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>can go into the kitchen and grab another drink. You

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>can maybe even take a bathroom break and keep it

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>rolling and you'll be fine. It's one of those movies.

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 2>It's highly digestible, and it's one you can watch over

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>and over and over again. So I thought that was

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 2>a good point. Okay, here's another one. Better than I

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 2>thought it would be. It is helped with a pretty

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>nifty final act and some humorous supporting characters. A slow

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>start and bland main characters. Not get down a star,

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>but this is a horror film that suffers from its

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>PG thirteen rating. If the and I don't know this word,

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 2>if the quinnoessences of breaking the user agreement were more severe,

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.199
<v Speaker 2>the film would tension up and the scare.

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Factor were more severe.

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fine, fine, they wanted more terror, they wanted more horror.

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 2>That's okay. So here's another one, and this is I

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 2>actually think a lot of the people who went on

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 2>to write these reviews read the critics reviews before they

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 2>watched the movie. So this next one, I honestly expected

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 2>to dislike this movie, but it was so much fun

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.960
<v Speaker 2>to watch. The characters had some genuinely funny moments, and

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 2>there were even a few scenes that really creeped me out.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I agree. I felt the same way. Here's another one.

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Not too bad. Could have been better, but hey, we

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 2>needed a thriller horror movie and it delivers on its

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 2>version of what could possibly happen. And with things in

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 2>today's age, why not have an app that's going to

0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>tell you if you're going to die in four hours?

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 2>You know you have downloaded it to lol make a

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>good point.

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people might do so, and

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>it sparked those conversations. It was fun. Ask yourself, right now,

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>ask the person sitting next to you as you're listening

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:14.559
<v Speaker 1>to this, would you download an app that would tell

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>you exactly when you're going to die?

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 2>We have had this exact conversation, and my answer at

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 2>this age is absolutely no.

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my answer is the same because it would change

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the way you live. Right. Life is more beautiful because

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>we know this one right here, this could be our

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>last podcast exactly.

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 2>But if you actually know in twenty twenty nine I'm

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 2>going to die, that is terrifying. I don't want to

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:39.320
<v Speaker 2>know that.

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And how is it going to happen?

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Right? And even if you do get another fifty years,

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 2>say still the last five you're like TikTok, it's always

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be weighing on you. No, no, no, no, no, no,

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 2>it's better not to know, all right. When we come back,

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna tell you why I've made our list, who

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 2>it's for, who it's not for, what to parrot with,

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 2>where to watch it, and a ts for number nine.

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Continuing our conversation about number ten on our horror hitless

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Countdown to Halloween, it is countdown the name of the movie.

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 2>It's PG thirteen, It's horror, supernatural, but it is so

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 2>much fun. If you're looking for something super super, super

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>duper scary, maybe this one isn't for you. But here's

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 2>why it made our list number one. It's fun. It's

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>a fun horror movie. They aren't always fun, but this

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 2>one keeps things fairly light. It's entertaining. We love the

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 2>premise of the movie. Well acted and just a good

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 2>time all around.

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a fun movie there. It's rare to have fun

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 1>horror movies. Even the jump scares okay, fine, some you

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 1>see them coming. Some of the stuff is predictable. We've

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>watched loo horror movies, yes, and that's okay to have

0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>this movie be what it is. But this is a

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>rare one that you're not necessarily scared. You're not hiding

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>under anything. You're kind of smiling at the screen and

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>at the characters. And who's insult there that say that

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>there was not a lot of depth through. Yeah, well

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>they were saying. I mean they were fun and what

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>they should have been, and just young folks who found

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and they were odd pairing as well. That worked. I

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>loved all of it.

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>I did too. It reminded me a little bit of

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 2>another gem that we love that we didn't include on

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the list for whatever reason. But Happy Depth Day. That's

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>a great It reminds me a little bit of that movie.

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 2>So who is this for? Well, you don't get to

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 2>say this very often, but it's good for the whole family.

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 2>But seriously, you could watch this with your teenagers and

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 2>even the people who put out the ratings of movies.

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Whoever those people are at the National Picture Association, I'm

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 2>not sure agrees Pg. Thirteen. So actually, if you have

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 2>older children in the house, maybe even some tweens, this

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 2>one is fun. They're interested in dipping their toe into

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>horror movies, this is a fun one to do it.

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this is a good introductory horror movie. It's also

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>this is why I recommend with a big group you

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>got fun with this one, because even the people are

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a loud a little bit, and then you're young at

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the screen, you're not going to miss anything necessarily. I

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 1>think this is the fun when you get everybody having

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a debate. Yes, you'll be talking during and after, Yes,

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>about the scenario.

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>And I love the we talk, but I love the

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 2>conversations that come about. Do you start talking about do

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you want to know what's the best way to die?

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you just get into these I know it

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 2>sounds funny to say those are fun conversations, but the

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>what ifs and the just speculative conversations that ensue are

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 2>worth it in and of itself. Now, who's it not for?

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I think we've made it pretty clear anyone who is

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>looking for highbrow horror, this is not your movie.

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Again. There's just place. There are places for this sometimes, right,

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I want to hear Kendrick Lamar sometimes just gimme

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Yin Yang twins right place for all of it? Doesn't

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that all right? This high thing? So that was no

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>insult to either one of them brothers, right, But what

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying is just I'm surprised, as we've gone through

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>this process, just how few folks critics are willing to

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 1>accept that there is a lane for this type of movie,

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>for this type of thing that's just kind of a

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>teeny bopper fun ride.

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and it's teeny bopper and fun, But I really

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 2>do think I thought it was clever. I thought the

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 2>premise was interesting, I thought the acting was good. I

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 2>thought the scares were compelling and.

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Sufficient sufficient horror movie.

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 2>That's yes, but I just I love this, So yeah,

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 2>it's not for you if you're looking for something, you know,

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 2>like Nosferatu, like this is the opposite of that. Right,

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 2>all right, food drink pairing, you know what you need

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 2>to just keep the fun atmosphere. I'd say have some

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 2>beer flowing, some popcorn, keep it light and fun. And

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned this is a great party group movie, so

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 2>if you're having some sort of up on Halloween movie fest,

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 2>this would definitely be included. I think it's just fun.

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why this is the first one where

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 1>this is popped into my mind. Candy. This is a

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:16.959
<v Speaker 1>candy Swizzlers sitting out, some gummy bears and whatever you do, chocolate,

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Eminem's peanut m and ms. Yeah, it feels like that

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of a movie.

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 2>DJ coming to the table with some food pairing. I

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.480
<v Speaker 2>like that. I won't bring up the raisinets and popcorn

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 2>because that set you off last time. It's a salty

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 2>sweet snack and it's fun.

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 1>People.

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.440
<v Speaker 2>People don't didn't make it up. I learned it from

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.160
<v Speaker 2>other people who showed me the way.

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Wow where you all had a commune together.

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.439
<v Speaker 2>It was the party in the I think I actually

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 2>was oh, yeah, I was in high school. I'd have

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 2>friends buying the raisin ets.

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this is just something you did in a weird circle.

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.119
<v Speaker 2>No, we thought a weird circle. I think this is

0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 2>a well known thing that people do. They put raisin

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:54.880
<v Speaker 2>ets in their popcorn.

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Raisinets are the things that are covered in chocolate. Is

0:17:58.440 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>it hard?

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 2>They're true, there's a hard case.

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Case, That's what I'm saying. So, but they look like

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>hard things. You put those in a bucket of popcorn? Correct?

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.120
<v Speaker 2>So good, so good, by the way. I also think

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 2>this is a movie you can watch alone and have

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 2>a blast party of one. There aren't many movies that

0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:19.639
<v Speaker 2>you can do that. But I think I actually watched

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 2>this the first time by myself, and I've watched it

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 2>so many times I can't even remember funny enough the

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 2>original showing. But I feel like I watched it alone.

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Don't hold me do it. But it's definitely okay to

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:33.920
<v Speaker 2>do so. Now, where can you watch it? This was

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a problem. Yeah, we searched and

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I even tried to buy it because I loved the

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 2>movie so much. I thought, we'll just keep this in

0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 2>our arsenal, our library of horror movie. No I couldn't

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 2>even I couldn't find a place to buy it. So

0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Amazon Prime right now is showing it, but you have

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 2>to watch it with commercials. That's a bit of a bummer,

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 2>I know. But it was on Netflix. It just went away,

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.639
<v Speaker 2>so maybe it'll come back. Just I'm absolutely gonna keep

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.679
<v Speaker 2>my eye out, in fact a watch list so that

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.880
<v Speaker 2>when it becomes available, I can purchase it. Okay, that's

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.920
<v Speaker 2>fun because this is how much I love the movie,

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.440
<v Speaker 2>and we watch it enough that this is one to buy,

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:10.639
<v Speaker 2>true because we will go back to this like what

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 2>kind of mood am I end? Ooh I'm in a

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 2>countdown mood? Yeah, we are definitely like that. And by

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the way, here is a pro tip. Stay for the credits.

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.960
<v Speaker 2>There is a fun additional scene that was actually it

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.680
<v Speaker 2>made me love the movie even more. I forgot about

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 2>it until we rewatched it, and I was like, oh,

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I love when movies do that. And when you see

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 2>people not leaving, you're like, oh, at the theater.

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Don't see that a lot in horror movies.

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't happen often. And it was comedic and funny

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 2>and it just worked. The whole ending worked, so stay

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.199
<v Speaker 2>for that also, please stay tuned for tomorrow where we

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 2>have number nine on our countdown to Halloween, and this

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:57.160
<v Speaker 2>one is a complete departure from countdown. It's still fun,

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 2>it's still entertaining, but it's it's definitely rated R and

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 2>it's highly reviewed.

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 1>It's twisted, it's a little sadistic, and Thor himself plays a.

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Starring Yes, it's so funny. I had written in here

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 2>as a tease. Has a devilish twist with some excellent

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 2>award winning actors.

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Twist. This is a twisted movie.

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.359
<v Speaker 2>There are twists within the twist.

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, this is such a twisted movie.

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 2>And cannot give one more hint. This movie is set

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:40.880
<v Speaker 2>in our favorite setting for a horror movie. And with that, everyone,

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 2>thank you for listening. I'm Amy Roboch alongside TJ. Holmes.

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:45.200
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk to you soon.
