WEBVTT - Deep Cuts Horror Hit List #3 “Host” 

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Hey, there are folks. It is Wednesday, October twenty ninth,

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and the number three movie on our horror hit list

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>is actually number one when it comes to Rotten Tomato score.

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.240
<v Speaker 1>And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ.

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>We continue our horror hit list. We are now in

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>our top three. This one has the highest Rotten Tomato

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>score of any of the thirty movies we have on

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>our list. Robes put into some kind, put into words

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>our affection for this movie.

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 2>We love this movie.

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 3>It is so digestible and fun and every time we

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 3>watch it, which is now I think countless times, we

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 3>still feel the excitement, the rush, yeah, and the appreciation

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 3>of it.

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>It's on as we're talking right now. Yes, it's on

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>in the background, and you're right, Rose, we have seen

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>it so many times. The scares work, the creepy factor

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>works each and every time. This is number three. I

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>can't believe maybe number three. Tell the people what number

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 1>three is on our list.

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 3>It is Host and it was released in October of

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty. Very important date, yes, because this is a

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 3>pandemic film that is brilliant. I mean, talk about artists

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 3>using the current situation that we were in at that

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>point and using it for horror. It really was effective.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 3>I actually remember where I was when I watched this.

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 3>I was sitting next to NICKI, and this movie scared

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 3>the Bejesus out of us.

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you, we have to consider folk and we

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>need to get into it a little. Why did I'm

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>just putting this together October twenty twenty. We weren't that far.

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>We weren't a full year into the pandemic necessarily, just yet.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>To think that they put this together. I didn't realize

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>it came out so quickly twenty. I mean, they shot,

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>they wrote, they shot, and had this thing out for

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>us to die very quickly that year. And I think ropes,

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>this is definitely the shortest on our list. This might

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 1>be the shortest horror movie on our radar.

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeh, fifty seven minutes is the runtime that is usually

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 3>a red flag.

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh, And I remember thinking, okay, what is this? Someone

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 3>word of mouth told me, Hey, this movie is streaming,

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 3>And obviously we didn't have a lot of new entertainment

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 3>coming around at that point in our world, so it

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 3>was exciting ooh, something new, and it delivered. It is

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 3>officially a horror Mystery. It's rated R and here's the synopsis.

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Six friends hire a medium to hold a seance via

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 3>zoom during lockdown, but they get far more than they

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>bargained for as things quickly go wrong.

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 1>That's all you need to know, right, Even that gets

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>me going and gets you know. We always love a

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>horror movie that gets you having an argument with the

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.959
<v Speaker 1>person you're watching it with, or you're right, you're throwing something,

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you're yelling at the screen. You're doing this for fifty

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>seven minutes in this movie, but you're doing it before

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the movie even starts. Because there's no way in hell

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I would do a seance.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>We had that conversation again yesterday. You're like, would you ever?

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 3>And at this point, I think, just with all the

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 3>movies we've seen, you even said this this morning, I

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't even let a Ouiji board in my apartment, and

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 3>I agree with that. I just think, you know what,

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 3>why tempt faith? We don't know what's out there. I

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>reserve space for the fact that there is something out there,

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 3>So why would I beckon it to to come to

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 3>life or to have permission to haunt or terrorize me?

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>No, no, thank you, And that's what they're doing in

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>this movie a seans via Zoom. Now, this again did

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>not have why public release. This was in the middle

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>of the pandemic. There was no box office. There wasn't,

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>no weren't. When did they even open back up a

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit?

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember.

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 3>It took longer than I thought it was going to

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 3>I know that much. But this was yeah, fresh entertainment, fresh, creative,

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 3>amazing movie that I don't think any of us expected.

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>And wow, was it incredible?

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Incredible and it was immediately relatable. We were all having

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>zoom meetings and doing this at the time. Or the

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>director of this one, Rob Savage, is his name? Did Boogieman? Rotes? Oh,

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>this is the guy that did Boogeyman that we like.

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Now some of the actors here, there were six, but

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>among the cast Haley Bishop, Jimma Moore, Emma Webb, Carolyn Ward.

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Those names sound familiar to Europes. No, I only say

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>that because of this. Hayley, Jimma, Emma, Carolyn. They used

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>their real names in the movie, and we mentioned that, folks,

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>because it was an intentional move to add to the

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 1>authenticity of this film.

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>It feels like you are actually watching six friends stuck

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 3>in lockdown in their individual apartments, trying to do something

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 3>fun and entertaining during the pandemic. I mean, it really

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>does feel like you're kind of let into their zoom call.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't feel like there's a script.

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't feel like there's acting involved, and it's all

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 3>shot by them.

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the budget had to be almost nothing.

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Why do I I swear I saw what one hundred

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars? Yeah, I think I saw the.

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Poodle about right, and yet to have it fall on

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 3>the list it does. In terms of critics and audience reviews,

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 3>it's pretty impressive.

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>It's very impressive. And to that point, the audience reviews

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>were one thing. The critic reviews were another. This might

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>be the movie. It has one of the biggest, if

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>not the biggest gaps we've seen in what the critics

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>thought and what the audience.

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the Rotten Tomato score is ninety eight percent from

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 3>the critics that I looked to see. There are only

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 3>a few other films who have one hundred percent, And

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 3>then I think it's one film has one hundred percent.

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 3>It's His House. If you've ever seen that movie, that

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 3>horror movie, His House.

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty. Oh I thought it was good. I didn't

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 2>think that it was hundred percent.

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 3>And then under the Shadow, I've seen that one that's

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 3>really scary, but the Wailing those are two foreign films.

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 3>So and then get out the babaduk, let the right

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 3>one in and Host so it's right up there. Actually,

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Rotten Tomatoes released its top two hundred horror movies of

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 3>all times based on their ratings, and this is right

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 3>up there at the top.

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, this is a and again, this is a

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven minute movie that's almost got one hundred percent rating.

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>That tells you a lot about how well done this

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>one was. I was surprised. I was taken aback. I

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>was very disappointed by the audience.

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Score, only seventy one percent.

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Why yeah, let's get into that here. Here first is

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the critic consensus lean suspensable and scary. Host uses its

0:06:55.520 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>timely premise to deliver a nastily effective treat for horror enthusiasts.

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Now horror enthusiasts. Yes, we're going to get into who

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>it's for. This is one I think is for everybody.

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>If you were just looking to dip your toe into horror,

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that as well. So here you go.

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Some of the sample critic reviews. Host is a tense,

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>fear inducing story that takes creative twists on the concept

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of found footage film. What do you think about.

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.239
<v Speaker 2>That found footage?

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess it was kind of the grimy likely you're

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>looking in on something, kind of a thing, but it's not.

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 3>A found It's a live event that's unfolding with folks

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 3>using rudimentary cameras in the sense they're either using their

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 3>laptop camera or their iPhone cameras. And maybe that's why

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 3>it's the found footage feel to it, because there is

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 3>no found footage. They're just actually experiencing these things live

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 3>on a live stream.

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Here you go. The it remains resolutely its own thing,

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a smart, inventive, and genuinely scary time capsule steeped in

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>the dread of a global pandemic. I didn't consider that

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>part adding to the dread you feel in this movie

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>because your trapped just like they.

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Are, right, and I think it tapped in on that

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 3>feeling a lot of folks had when they were watching it,

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 3>that they were home alone in a small room and

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 3>the idea of a demonic presence somehow accompanying you in

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 3>that room is frightful because where are you going for help?

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 3>How are you getting out of your safe space? That really,

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 3>in that moment was the only safe space we felt

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 3>like we had. So everyone felt terrorized by the outside world,

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 3>so to have that terror come into your small little

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 3>world seemed even more frightened.

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly what the next critic, what you're saying

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>there said, the director crafts a creepy and a nerving

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>horror film that uses lockdown to its advantage. Even the

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>homes where they were in their backgrounds looked they weren't

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>all proper and put together. It looks like a little

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 1>college kids dorm room almost. It looks so authentic when

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>you see their bedrooms, and it adds to the drama

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>of the movie. It so does. Okay, Now, I didn't

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 1>find pretty much any negative reviews when it came to

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the critics because it was ninety percent. There were several

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>let me see what you think of this. One says

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>an hour long zoom call where people yell and bump

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>into things a lot. That was someone giving a negative

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>review about it. Do you think what to my question,

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>there is it for some people go into it looking

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.319
<v Speaker 1>at that, and it is. There are just people on screens.

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>You're watching a zoom call, and there's not a lot

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of necessarily big action, just a little subtle thing here,

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>a chair moves there. It's all effective to me. But

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.719
<v Speaker 1>do you think some people found that.

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 3>To be maybe people who want big action films, somebody

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 3>who wants, I don't know, something loud and fast paced.

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 2>This isn't it.

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 3>But man, the tension builds and it builds it such

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 3>an effective pace. I mean again, it's only fifty seven minutes,

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 3>but when it starts going, it ramps up quickly.

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>But you say people want something loud and fast paced.

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I want, what is with your attentions by that you

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>can't do for fifty seven I.

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Don't understand it either, because also the character development was

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 3>awesome in the beginning, where you're learning about two girls

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 3>and their personalities, and I just I was invested in

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 3>them and therefore was invested in what happened to them

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:16.719
<v Speaker 3>in the end.

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you make a good point about the how effective

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>character development is in fifty seven minutes? You're right? You

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>find out something, You learn something about each and every

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the women. Even the filters on the yes,

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>like that tells you something about her personality. Correct, that's

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a very good point. All right, a few more here,

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of jump scares, but that's it. That was somebody's

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>negative review.

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, then you're not appreciating the build up

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 3>and the dread and the oh my god, what's happening.

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:42.679
<v Speaker 2>Part of it.

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Another man review here said, it keeps you intention throughout

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the movie. Everything looks very natural and entertaining, with good

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>scares without abusing screamers, although it seems to me that

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>it fails a lot in its villain. The ending is

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>quite predictable, and the summoning of the demon is terrible.

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Even so, they are fifty seven very enjoyable minutes.

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand the criticism, yeah at all.

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I really don't, because, by the way, I disagree completely

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 3>about the ending.

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>The ending is my favorite part.

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>We actually have rewound it several times just to watch

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the ending again.

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 3>I remember when I first saw this, and I will

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 3>just say that the screaming came from the other end

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 3>of the television when I was watching it, but to

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.199
<v Speaker 3>the point where the whole house was like, what just happened?

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 3>And I was telling the kids you have to watch

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 3>this movie and wait until the end.

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>O MG.

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>A well chosen concept, but I wouldn't consider this movie

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>scary and yet also not that entertaining to watch. Still,

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I would recommend it if you don't know what to

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>watch and not looking for a particular deep movie. This

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>is why I struggle with putting too many audience reviews.

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>When something is so well reviewed by critics, people seem

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to just be looking for something to I.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Think people do, like you say they some people like

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 3>to be contrariants and they like to say, oh, well,

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 3>the critics, you know, just fell into the you know whatever,

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 3>the illusion of this. But I see it differently as

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 3>a real person who doesn't like X, y Z whatever.

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 3>This is an awesome movie.

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Everybody has a right to their opinion. But clearly, and

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I know you've seen it as well, when you read

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>through some of the reviews, you're looking for a criticism

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of the acting, of the writing, of the directing, and

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people just go but I don't know

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>what you people are talking about, yes, immediately, just.

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 3>I do sometimes think it's expectations. I think sometimes people

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 3>look at reviews or they see something is supposed to

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 3>be so good, and then they have a certain expectation

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 3>about what the movie is supposed to be and then

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:48.719
<v Speaker 3>they're disappointed.

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>So we probably disappointed a lot of because we said

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>really high expectations all of these movies.

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 2>That is true, That is true.

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I get that this movie is absolutely brilliant. And you

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>know what, if you don't like it, is only gonna

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>take fifty minutes of your day anyway. So just trust

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>us on this one. But why did this one make

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 1>our list? Who's it made for? Who's it not made for?

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>In the moment you're all waiting for, what did robot

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 1>come up with to pair with food and drink? With

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>this movie, you're gonna explain all.

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 2>That building expectations.

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey, you've been delivering so far, she will deliver again.

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Stay here, continuing our conversation about number three on our

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Halloween Horror hit list. We're talking about Host, A brilliant

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 3>little gem will run you under an hour and you'll

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 3>get well, I hope, just like us, you'll get years

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 3>of enjoyment from this movie because we continue to watch

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.319
<v Speaker 3>it and we'll do so for the years to come.

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 3>And why are we doing it? Because this movie is

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 3>just we said it it's brilliant. It's so well done,

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 3>it's so well acted. Did it's a fun ride that

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 3>it's amazing to me with in terms of like technology

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 3>and in terms of what like sometimes what we expect

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 3>from movies. This is so simple there is There are

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 3>no bells and whistles, there are no special effects. It's

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 3>just so well done. And because it's so simple, I

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 3>think I appreciate it that much more because it probably

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 3>made it feel more realistic.

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I respect this movie so much how they pulled this off.

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>We want you a lot of horror movies. We know

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot, We know the tricks, we know sometimes with

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the graphics that are neat at the CGI. We know

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. You know. We also know that every

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>movie has to have that line in it and said, ooh,

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 1>we have no signal. Right right, we know everything, and

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to have a movie this fresh that surprises you that

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you actually don't see what's coming, what they're doing, and

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>why is to pull it off this effectively. I'm even

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>more impressed to hear that it came out in October,

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Like they put this together pretty quickly. When did they

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 1>start on this during the pandemic?

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, well, yeah, we all got into lockdown in March,

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 3>so there wasn't a lot of time. You're right, when

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 3>you think about how movies are made, this is almost

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 3>unheard of.

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but they needed the pandemic to pull it off.

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was just so. And the way it was

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>shod it's raw. It just I love this movie and

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the woman who's putting them through the seance the medium, yes,

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 1>or whatever she has. There's a couple of comedic moments

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>in there. I don't know how they got this in

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven minutes. I would like to see a long,

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>longer form. Oh yeah, of a director's cut. I wonder

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>how long it is.

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I would have continued to watch for sure. So who

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 2>is this for?

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 3>We think it's for anybody. I don't think you have

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 3>to be a huge I mean, if you're a horror

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 3>movie aficionado, I think, obviously we know you'll appreciate it.

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 3>But even if you don't tend to like horror movies,

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 3>this is a fun movie to put on for. You know,

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 3>a lot of times you have mixed company. I've dealt

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 3>with this, We've all all dealt with this threat our lives.

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 3>When you love horror movies, half your friends don't, or

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 3>sometimes even more than half your friends don't. This is

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 3>one I think you could introduce them to and say, hey,

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 3>let's sit down.

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I promise this isn't.

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 3>So scary that you'll be mad at me, but you'll

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 3>actually appreciate how fun it is.

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>This one doesn't come with a warning from us so many. Hey,

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>if you don't like there's a little killing in here,

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a little guts in here, there's a little it's

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>really not that. I don't feel like I need to

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>give anybody a heads up necessarily. I think anybody can

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>watch this and dip a toe, and if somebody's at

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 1>your house, you get to make the call on what

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>movie is being watched.

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Ha ha.

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I don't like it, you can leave, you can

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>go to another room. But yes, it is a compromise

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>for horror belief.

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 3>And who is it not for. I think anyone who

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 3>has a Buiji ward in their house, or anyone who

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 3>actually participates in seances. I think this would freak you out.

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you think it's maybe I don't know, maybe that

0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 3>would even make it more thrilling to watch. If you

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 3>do have those things in your home, or that is

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 3>something you regularly do. But to me, that would scare

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.440
<v Speaker 3>me to the point where I wouldn't want to watch

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 3>this movie.

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>This is further confirmation not to mess around because this

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.120
<v Speaker 1>thing is not It doesn't bring in a Wiji board.

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not just specifically that, but like some outside like

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.679
<v Speaker 1>there's a magic dagger or they're right using something as

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.679
<v Speaker 1>a part of it. This is just simple conversation and

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>lighting of candles. That's it. We all got candles in

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the house. We got candles burning right now. Like it's

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.879
<v Speaker 1>just it hits you in that it's not so foreign,

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.719
<v Speaker 1>like we could all get caught up in this, and

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 1>that's scary to me. And I don't think this is

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 1>for people who aren't open minded when they come into it.

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I say that because of a lot of the reviews

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.880
<v Speaker 1>they seem to just, oh, this is a zoom call.

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 1>It's so boring. Why would anybody just watch? Like, if

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you're not open minded to what this movie can be,

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and you just turned off because you think it's boring

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.919
<v Speaker 1>to see people sitting on a computer screen.

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah.

0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 3>If you're already turned off by the idea that literally

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 3>the entire movie is a zoom call, then yeah, just

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 3>skip it. That's fine food drink pairing, all right, I

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 3>hear it is, so obviously you're gonna need to have

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 3>some shots because it would be fun to play along

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 3>with the characters. There is a part of the movie

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 3>where they do shots, and it's when one of the

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 3>other characters says a specific phrase, and so it's.

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Fun and knowing it ahead of time, you.

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Could just have whatever tequila shots lined up, all right, everybody,

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 3>when the part of the movie comes for shots, yes,

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna.

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Do it with the characters. That would be fun, right.

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Also, you mentioned you loved the medium and as the

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 3>woman who conducts the seance, she is Irish and she

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 3>likes to say spirits. So I suggest that you drink

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.399
<v Speaker 3>some spirits and set them on the table. So whatever

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.640
<v Speaker 3>spit it you like, just every time she says spit it,

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 3>you could have a sip of your spin it.

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Don't drink every time she says spirit though, because you

0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:57.680
<v Speaker 1>are going to be wasted.

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.400
<v Speaker 3>My other, my other suggestion is setting the mood with candles.

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 3>You mentioned candles. Yes, I think you need to have

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 3>some candles lit. And this is a popcorn movie, period.

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Could you watch this by yourself?

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>You can, but you'll regret that you did.

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't want to.

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as a heads up, if you're what, you actually

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.920
<v Speaker 1>get through it to a little ways and you think

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>you're okay, and then you realize, damn, I screwed up.

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:22.919
<v Speaker 1>I should not have watched this.

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 3>My MoMA. Yeah, if you're by yourself and you have

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.119
<v Speaker 3>your computer, op or something, and you're feeling like, oh,

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 3>if I just jumped on a zoom with somebody, i'd

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 3>feel safe. That is gone after you've watched this movie,

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:33.200
<v Speaker 3>and you'd be looking over your shoulder.

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Can't you watch this one in the daytime? I think

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot the screens were lit. I don't think there's

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of night.

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 3>You can watch it in the daytime. You're right, because

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 3>it is on screens. Everything is bright. But I would

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 3>be nervous, definitely. If you're by yourself, you would be

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 3>looking over your shoulder the entire time because it's said

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 3>at night.

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 2>It's just they've got the brightness of the screen.

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>This is a nighttime movie or the experience.

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a night time.

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 1>You should be in and pitch blackness in the room

0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 1>with a couple of candles going is how should be

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 1>And my recommendation of food was something you don't have

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to look down at to pick up, like just a

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>bunch of those little hard mini pretzels that a little salted,

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.800
<v Speaker 1>something light on the stomach. But it's something you don't

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 1>have to popcorn works.

0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Yep, you don't want to have to look down.

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 1>You gotta keep your eyes on the screen.

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because there are things you will miss.

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you gotta keep you out one hundred percent.

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 1>This one can be found on Netflix. It is available

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:23.360
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix though.

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic.

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 3>All right, So our next movie will be number two

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 3>on the list.

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 2>And how would we tease this one?

0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 1>It's the Is it the only one we have that's

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a foreign We had another foreign length, but you can't

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 1>this one. You can't.

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we had another one we had, remember, and we

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 2>watched it dubbed.

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.199
<v Speaker 1>This one. The dubbing is not available. Don't have that right,

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 1>not right now.

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 3>I have seen reviews that people have watched this one dubbed,

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 3>but I don't recall that I have. I'm fairly certain

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 3>I've only watched this one with subtitles. And the thing

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 3>that's interesting is I have found this when you have

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 3>a good movie with subtiples. It ends up you forget

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 3>that you saw the movie with the subtitles, and I

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 3>feel like you don't miss anything because you're almost like

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 3>reading a book and watching a movie at the same time.

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.800
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate it, and you're right, you can't take your

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:13.359
<v Speaker 3>eyes off of it.

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, this.

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Is an incredible and you know what, this one might

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 1>have dipped its toe into a little mainstream. It seemed

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of people might have known about this one.

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Lately, but initially I believe, am I correct that I'm

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 3>the one who introduced this to you.

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:31.959
<v Speaker 2>You had not seen it.

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.679
<v Speaker 1>I hesitated to watch it for so long because I

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 1>don't like subtitles. I don't like to have to read. Boy,

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 1>was I wrong? And we assure you this one is

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 1>not PG thirteen.

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.679
<v Speaker 2>And we assure you this one is filled with action.

0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Whereas obviously host we said is just zoom screens frightening.

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 2>This is the antithesis of that.

0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.760
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna make up for it the next one.

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, with that, everyone, thanks for listening. I made

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 2>me roboch alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
