1
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: Hey, there are folks. It is Wednesday, October twenty ninth,

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: and the number three movie on our horror hit list

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: is actually number one when it comes to Rotten Tomato score.

4
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ.

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: We continue our horror hit list. We are now in

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: our top three. This one has the highest Rotten Tomato

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: score of any of the thirty movies we have on

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: our list. Robes put into some kind, put into words

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: our affection for this movie.

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: We love this movie.

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: It is so digestible and fun and every time we

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: watch it, which is now I think countless times, we

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: still feel the excitement, the rush, yeah, and the appreciation

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: of it.

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: It's on as we're talking right now. Yes, it's on

16
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: in the background, and you're right, Rose, we have seen

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it so many times. The scares work, the creepy factor

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: works each and every time. This is number three. I

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: can't believe maybe number three. Tell the people what number

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: three is on our list.

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: It is Host and it was released in October of

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. Very important date, yes, because this is a

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: pandemic film that is brilliant. I mean, talk about artists

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: using the current situation that we were in at that

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: point and using it for horror. It really was effective.

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: I actually remember where I was when I watched this.

27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: I was sitting next to NICKI, and this movie scared

28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: the Bejesus out of us.

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you, we have to consider folk and we

30
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: need to get into it a little. Why did I'm

31
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: just putting this together October twenty twenty. We weren't that far.

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: We weren't a full year into the pandemic necessarily, just yet.

33
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: To think that they put this together. I didn't realize

34
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: it came out so quickly twenty. I mean, they shot,

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: they wrote, they shot, and had this thing out for

36
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: us to die very quickly that year. And I think ropes,

37
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: this is definitely the shortest on our list. This might

38
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: be the shortest horror movie on our radar.

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeh, fifty seven minutes is the runtime that is usually

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: a red flag.

41
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: Yes.

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: Oh, And I remember thinking, okay, what is this? Someone

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: word of mouth told me, Hey, this movie is streaming,

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: And obviously we didn't have a lot of new entertainment

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: coming around at that point in our world, so it

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: was exciting ooh, something new, and it delivered. It is

47
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: officially a horror Mystery. It's rated R and here's the synopsis.

48
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: Six friends hire a medium to hold a seance via

49
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: zoom during lockdown, but they get far more than they

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: bargained for as things quickly go wrong.

51
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: That's all you need to know, right, Even that gets

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: me going and gets you know. We always love a

53
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: horror movie that gets you having an argument with the

54
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: person you're watching it with, or you're right, you're throwing something,

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: you're yelling at the screen. You're doing this for fifty

56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: seven minutes in this movie, but you're doing it before

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: the movie even starts. Because there's no way in hell

58
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: I would do a seance.

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: We had that conversation again yesterday. You're like, would you ever?

60
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: And at this point, I think, just with all the

61
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: movies we've seen, you even said this this morning, I

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: wouldn't even let a Ouiji board in my apartment, and

63
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: I agree with that. I just think, you know what,

64
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: why tempt faith? We don't know what's out there. I

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: reserve space for the fact that there is something out there,

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: So why would I beckon it to to come to

67
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: life or to have permission to haunt or terrorize me?

68
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: No, no, thank you, And that's what they're doing in

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: this movie a seans via Zoom. Now, this again did

70
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: not have why public release. This was in the middle

71
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: of the pandemic. There was no box office. There wasn't,

72
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: no weren't. When did they even open back up a

73
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: little bit?

74
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: I don't remember.

75
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: It took longer than I thought it was going to

76
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: I know that much. But this was yeah, fresh entertainment, fresh, creative,

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: amazing movie that I don't think any of us expected.

78
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: And wow, was it incredible?

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Incredible and it was immediately relatable. We were all having

80
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: zoom meetings and doing this at the time. Or the

81
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: director of this one, Rob Savage, is his name? Did Boogieman? Rotes? Oh,

82
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: this is the guy that did Boogeyman that we like.

83
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Now some of the actors here, there were six, but

84
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: among the cast Haley Bishop, Jimma Moore, Emma Webb, Carolyn Ward.

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: Those names sound familiar to Europes. No, I only say

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: that because of this. Hayley, Jimma, Emma, Carolyn. They used

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: their real names in the movie, and we mentioned that, folks,

88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: because it was an intentional move to add to the

89
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: authenticity of this film.

90
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 3: It feels like you are actually watching six friends stuck

91
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: in lockdown in their individual apartments, trying to do something

92
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: fun and entertaining during the pandemic. I mean, it really

93
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: does feel like you're kind of let into their zoom call.

94
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like there's a script.

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like there's acting involved, and it's all

96
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: shot by them.

97
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: I mean, the budget had to be almost nothing.

98
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: Why do I I swear I saw what one hundred

99
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars? Yeah, I think I saw the.

100
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: Poodle about right, and yet to have it fall on

101
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: the list it does. In terms of critics and audience reviews,

102
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: it's pretty impressive.

103
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: It's very impressive. And to that point, the audience reviews

104
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: were one thing. The critic reviews were another. This might

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: be the movie. It has one of the biggest, if

106
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: not the biggest gaps we've seen in what the critics

107
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: thought and what the audience.

108
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rotten Tomato score is ninety eight percent from

109
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: the critics that I looked to see. There are only

110
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: a few other films who have one hundred percent, And

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: then I think it's one film has one hundred percent.

112
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: It's His House. If you've ever seen that movie, that

113
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: horror movie, His House.

114
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty. Oh I thought it was good. I didn't

115
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 2: think that it was hundred percent.

116
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: And then under the Shadow, I've seen that one that's

117
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: really scary, but the Wailing those are two foreign films.

118
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: So and then get out the babaduk, let the right

119
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: one in and Host so it's right up there. Actually,

120
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes released its top two hundred horror movies of

121
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 3: all times based on their ratings, and this is right

122
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: up there at the top.

123
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Oh wow, this is a and again, this is a

124
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: fifty seven minute movie that's almost got one hundred percent rating.

125
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: That tells you a lot about how well done this

126
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: one was. I was surprised. I was taken aback. I

127
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: was very disappointed by the audience.

128
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: Score, only seventy one percent.

129
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: Why yeah, let's get into that here. Here first is

130
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: the critic consensus lean suspensable and scary. Host uses its

131
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: timely premise to deliver a nastily effective treat for horror enthusiasts.

132
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: Now horror enthusiasts. Yes, we're going to get into who

133
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: it's for. This is one I think is for everybody.

134
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: If you were just looking to dip your toe into horror,

135
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: we'll get into that as well. So here you go.

136
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: Some of the sample critic reviews. Host is a tense,

137
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: fear inducing story that takes creative twists on the concept

138
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: of found footage film. What do you think about.

139
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: That found footage?

140
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: I guess it was kind of the grimy likely you're

141
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: looking in on something, kind of a thing, but it's not.

142
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: A found It's a live event that's unfolding with folks

143
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: using rudimentary cameras in the sense they're either using their

144
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: laptop camera or their iPhone cameras. And maybe that's why

145
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: it's the found footage feel to it, because there is

146
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: no found footage. They're just actually experiencing these things live

147
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: on a live stream.

148
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: Here you go. The it remains resolutely its own thing,

149
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: a smart, inventive, and genuinely scary time capsule steeped in

150
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: the dread of a global pandemic. I didn't consider that

151
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: part adding to the dread you feel in this movie

152
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: because your trapped just like they.

153
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: Are, right, and I think it tapped in on that

154
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: feeling a lot of folks had when they were watching it,

155
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: that they were home alone in a small room and

156
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: the idea of a demonic presence somehow accompanying you in

157
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: that room is frightful because where are you going for help?

158
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: How are you getting out of your safe space? That really,

159
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: in that moment was the only safe space we felt

160
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: like we had. So everyone felt terrorized by the outside world,

161
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: so to have that terror come into your small little

162
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: world seemed even more frightened.

163
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the next critic, what you're saying

164
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: there said, the director crafts a creepy and a nerving

165
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: horror film that uses lockdown to its advantage. Even the

166
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: homes where they were in their backgrounds looked they weren't

167
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: all proper and put together. It looks like a little

168
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: college kids dorm room almost. It looks so authentic when

169
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: you see their bedrooms, and it adds to the drama

170
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: of the movie. It so does. Okay, Now, I didn't

171
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: find pretty much any negative reviews when it came to

172
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: the critics because it was ninety percent. There were several

173
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: let me see what you think of this. One says

174
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: an hour long zoom call where people yell and bump

175
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: into things a lot. That was someone giving a negative

176
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: review about it. Do you think what to my question,

177
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: there is it for some people go into it looking

178
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: at that, and it is. There are just people on screens.

179
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: You're watching a zoom call, and there's not a lot

180
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: of necessarily big action, just a little subtle thing here,

181
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: a chair moves there. It's all effective to me. But

182
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: do you think some people found that.

183
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: To be maybe people who want big action films, somebody

184
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: who wants, I don't know, something loud and fast paced.

185
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: This isn't it.

186
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: But man, the tension builds and it builds it such

187
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: an effective pace. I mean again, it's only fifty seven minutes,

188
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: but when it starts going, it ramps up quickly.

189
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: But you say people want something loud and fast paced.

190
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: I want, what is with your attentions by that you

191
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: can't do for fifty seven I.

192
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: Don't understand it either, because also the character development was

193
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: awesome in the beginning, where you're learning about two girls

194
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: and their personalities, and I just I was invested in

195
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: them and therefore was invested in what happened to them

196
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 3: in the end.

197
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: Do you make a good point about the how effective

198
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: character development is in fifty seven minutes? You're right? You

199
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: find out something, You learn something about each and every

200
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: one of the women. Even the filters on the yes,

201
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: like that tells you something about her personality. Correct, that's

202
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: a very good point. All right, a few more here,

203
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: couple of jump scares, but that's it. That was somebody's

204
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: negative review.

205
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, then you're not appreciating the build up

206
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: and the dread and the oh my god, what's happening.

207
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: Part of it.

208
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: Another man review here said, it keeps you intention throughout

209
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: the movie. Everything looks very natural and entertaining, with good

210
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: scares without abusing screamers, although it seems to me that

211
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: it fails a lot in its villain. The ending is

212
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: quite predictable, and the summoning of the demon is terrible.

213
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: Even so, they are fifty seven very enjoyable minutes.

214
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: I don't understand the criticism, yeah at all.

215
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: I really don't, because, by the way, I disagree completely

216
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: about the ending.

217
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: The ending is my favorite part.

218
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: We actually have rewound it several times just to watch

219
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: the ending again.

220
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: I remember when I first saw this, and I will

221
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: just say that the screaming came from the other end

222
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: of the television when I was watching it, but to

223
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 3: the point where the whole house was like, what just happened?

224
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: And I was telling the kids you have to watch

225
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: this movie and wait until the end.

226
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: O MG.

227
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: A well chosen concept, but I wouldn't consider this movie

228
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: scary and yet also not that entertaining to watch. Still,

229
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: I would recommend it if you don't know what to

230
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: watch and not looking for a particular deep movie. This

231
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: is why I struggle with putting too many audience reviews.

232
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: When something is so well reviewed by critics, people seem

233
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: to just be looking for something to I.

234
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: Think people do, like you say they some people like

235
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: to be contrariants and they like to say, oh, well,

236
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 3: the critics, you know, just fell into the you know whatever,

237
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: the illusion of this. But I see it differently as

238
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: a real person who doesn't like X, y Z whatever.

239
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: This is an awesome movie.

240
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: Everybody has a right to their opinion. But clearly, and

241
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: I know you've seen it as well, when you read

242
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: through some of the reviews, you're looking for a criticism

243
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: of the acting, of the writing, of the directing, and

244
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people just go but I don't know

245
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: what you people are talking about, yes, immediately, just.

246
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: I do sometimes think it's expectations. I think sometimes people

247
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: look at reviews or they see something is supposed to

248
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: be so good, and then they have a certain expectation

249
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: about what the movie is supposed to be and then

250
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 3: they're disappointed.

251
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: So we probably disappointed a lot of because we said

252
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: really high expectations all of these movies.

253
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: That is true, That is true.

254
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: I get that this movie is absolutely brilliant. And you

255
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: know what, if you don't like it, is only gonna

256
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: take fifty minutes of your day anyway. So just trust

257
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: us on this one. But why did this one make

258
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: our list? Who's it made for? Who's it not made for?

259
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: In the moment you're all waiting for, what did robot

260
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: come up with to pair with food and drink? With

261
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: this movie, you're gonna explain all.

262
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: That building expectations.

263
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: Hey, you've been delivering so far, she will deliver again.

264
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: Stay here, continuing our conversation about number three on our

265
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: Halloween Horror hit list. We're talking about Host, A brilliant

266
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: little gem will run you under an hour and you'll

267
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 3: get well, I hope, just like us, you'll get years

268
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 3: of enjoyment from this movie because we continue to watch

269
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 3: it and we'll do so for the years to come.

270
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: And why are we doing it? Because this movie is

271
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: just we said it it's brilliant. It's so well done,

272
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: it's so well acted. Did it's a fun ride that

273
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 3: it's amazing to me with in terms of like technology

274
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: and in terms of what like sometimes what we expect

275
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 3: from movies. This is so simple there is There are

276
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: no bells and whistles, there are no special effects. It's

277
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: just so well done. And because it's so simple, I

278
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: think I appreciate it that much more because it probably

279
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: made it feel more realistic.

280
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: I respect this movie so much how they pulled this off.

281
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: We want you a lot of horror movies. We know

282
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: a lot, We know the tricks, we know sometimes with

283
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: the graphics that are neat at the CGI. We know

284
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: all this stuff. You know. We also know that every

285
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: movie has to have that line in it and said, ooh,

286
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: we have no signal. Right right, we know everything, and

287
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: to have a movie this fresh that surprises you that

288
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: you actually don't see what's coming, what they're doing, and

289
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: why is to pull it off this effectively. I'm even

290
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: more impressed to hear that it came out in October,

291
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Like they put this together pretty quickly. When did they

292
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: start on this during the pandemic?

293
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

294
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: I mean, well, yeah, we all got into lockdown in March,

295
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: so there wasn't a lot of time. You're right, when

296
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: you think about how movies are made, this is almost

297
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: unheard of.

298
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they needed the pandemic to pull it off.

299
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just so. And the way it was

300
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: shod it's raw. It just I love this movie and

301
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: the woman who's putting them through the seance the medium, yes,

302
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: or whatever she has. There's a couple of comedic moments

303
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: in there. I don't know how they got this in

304
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: fifty seven minutes. I would like to see a long,

305
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: longer form. Oh yeah, of a director's cut. I wonder

306
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: how long it is.

307
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: I would have continued to watch for sure. So who

308
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: is this for?

309
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: We think it's for anybody. I don't think you have

310
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: to be a huge I mean, if you're a horror

311
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: movie aficionado, I think, obviously we know you'll appreciate it.

312
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: But even if you don't tend to like horror movies,

313
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: this is a fun movie to put on for. You know,

314
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: a lot of times you have mixed company. I've dealt

315
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: with this, We've all all dealt with this threat our lives.

316
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: When you love horror movies, half your friends don't, or

317
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: sometimes even more than half your friends don't. This is

318
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: one I think you could introduce them to and say, hey,

319
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 3: let's sit down.

320
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: I promise this isn't.

321
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: So scary that you'll be mad at me, but you'll

322
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: actually appreciate how fun it is.

323
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: This one doesn't come with a warning from us so many. Hey,

324
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: if you don't like there's a little killing in here,

325
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: there's a little guts in here, there's a little it's

326
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: really not that. I don't feel like I need to

327
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: give anybody a heads up necessarily. I think anybody can

328
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: watch this and dip a toe, and if somebody's at

329
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: your house, you get to make the call on what

330
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: movie is being watched.

331
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: Ha ha.

332
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't like it, you can leave, you can

333
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: go to another room. But yes, it is a compromise

334
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: for horror belief.

335
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: And who is it not for. I think anyone who

336
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: has a Buiji ward in their house, or anyone who

337
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: actually participates in seances. I think this would freak you out.

338
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: Maybe you think it's maybe I don't know, maybe that

339
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: would even make it more thrilling to watch. If you

340
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: do have those things in your home, or that is

341
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 3: something you regularly do. But to me, that would scare

342
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 3: me to the point where I wouldn't want to watch

343
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 3: this movie.

344
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: This is further confirmation not to mess around because this

345
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: thing is not It doesn't bring in a Wiji board.

346
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm not just specifically that, but like some outside like

347
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: there's a magic dagger or they're right using something as

348
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: a part of it. This is just simple conversation and

349
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: lighting of candles. That's it. We all got candles in

350
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: the house. We got candles burning right now. Like it's

351
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: just it hits you in that it's not so foreign,

352
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: like we could all get caught up in this, and

353
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: that's scary to me. And I don't think this is

354
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: for people who aren't open minded when they come into it.

355
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: I say that because of a lot of the reviews

356
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: they seem to just, oh, this is a zoom call.

357
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: It's so boring. Why would anybody just watch? Like, if

358
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: you're not open minded to what this movie can be,

359
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: and you just turned off because you think it's boring

360
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: to see people sitting on a computer screen.

361
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

362
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: If you're already turned off by the idea that literally

363
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: the entire movie is a zoom call, then yeah, just

364
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: skip it. That's fine food drink pairing, all right, I

365
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 3: hear it is, so obviously you're gonna need to have

366
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: some shots because it would be fun to play along

367
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: with the characters. There is a part of the movie

368
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 3: where they do shots, and it's when one of the

369
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: other characters says a specific phrase, and so it's.

370
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: Fun and knowing it ahead of time, you.

371
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 3: Could just have whatever tequila shots lined up, all right, everybody,

372
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: when the part of the movie comes for shots, yes,

373
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 3: we're gonna.

374
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: Do it with the characters. That would be fun, right.

375
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: Also, you mentioned you loved the medium and as the

376
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: woman who conducts the seance, she is Irish and she

377
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: likes to say spirits. So I suggest that you drink

378
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 3: some spirits and set them on the table. So whatever

379
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 3: spit it you like, just every time she says spit it,

380
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: you could have a sip of your spin it.

381
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: Don't drink every time she says spirit though, because you

382
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: are going to be wasted.

383
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: My other, my other suggestion is setting the mood with candles.

384
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: You mentioned candles. Yes, I think you need to have

385
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: some candles lit. And this is a popcorn movie, period.

386
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: Could you watch this by yourself?

387
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: You can, but you'll regret that you did.

388
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to.

389
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, as a heads up, if you're what, you actually

390
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: get through it to a little ways and you think

391
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: you're okay, and then you realize, damn, I screwed up.

392
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: I should not have watched this.

393
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: My MoMA. Yeah, if you're by yourself and you have

394
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: your computer, op or something, and you're feeling like, oh,

395
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: if I just jumped on a zoom with somebody, i'd

396
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: feel safe. That is gone after you've watched this movie,

397
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: and you'd be looking over your shoulder.

398
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: Can't you watch this one in the daytime? I think

399
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: a lot the screens were lit. I don't think there's

400
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: a lot of night.

401
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: You can watch it in the daytime. You're right, because

402
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: it is on screens. Everything is bright. But I would

403
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: be nervous, definitely. If you're by yourself, you would be

404
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: looking over your shoulder the entire time because it's said

405
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: at night.

406
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: It's just they've got the brightness of the screen.

407
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: This is a nighttime movie or the experience.

408
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: I think it's a night time.

409
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: You should be in and pitch blackness in the room

410
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: with a couple of candles going is how should be

411
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: And my recommendation of food was something you don't have

412
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: to look down at to pick up, like just a

413
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: bunch of those little hard mini pretzels that a little salted,

414
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: something light on the stomach. But it's something you don't

415
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: have to popcorn works.

416
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: Yep, you don't want to have to look down.

417
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: You gotta keep your eyes on the screen.

418
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, because there are things you will miss.

419
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you gotta keep you out one hundred percent.

420
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: All right.

421
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: This one can be found on Netflix. It is available

422
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: on Netflix though.

423
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: Fantastic.

424
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 3: All right, So our next movie will be number two

425
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: on the list.

426
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 2: And how would we tease this one?

427
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: It's the Is it the only one we have that's

428
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: a foreign We had another foreign length, but you can't

429
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: this one. You can't.

430
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: Yes, we had another one we had, remember, and we

431
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: watched it dubbed.

432
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: This one. The dubbing is not available. Don't have that right,

433
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: not right now.

434
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: I have seen reviews that people have watched this one dubbed,

435
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: but I don't recall that I have. I'm fairly certain

436
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 3: I've only watched this one with subtitles. And the thing

437
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: that's interesting is I have found this when you have

438
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: a good movie with subtiples. It ends up you forget

439
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: that you saw the movie with the subtitles, and I

440
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: feel like you don't miss anything because you're almost like

441
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: reading a book and watching a movie at the same time.

442
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, and you're right, you can't take your

443
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: eyes off of it.

444
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: Obviously, this.

445
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: Is an incredible and you know what, this one might

446
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: have dipped its toe into a little mainstream. It seemed

447
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: like a lot of people might have known about this one.

448
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: Lately, but initially I believe, am I correct that I'm

449
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: the one who introduced this to you.

450
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 2: You had not seen it.

451
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: I hesitated to watch it for so long because I

452
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: don't like subtitles. I don't like to have to read. Boy,

453
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: was I wrong? And we assure you this one is

454
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: not PG thirteen.

455
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 2: And we assure you this one is filled with action.

456
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: Whereas obviously host we said is just zoom screens frightening.

457
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: This is the antithesis of that.

458
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna make up for it the next one.

459
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: All right, with that, everyone, thanks for listening. I made

460
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: me roboch alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
