And this one, 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: number one on our list comes to us from none 6 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: other than M Night Shamalan, but you probably never heard 7 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: of it. And with that, welcome to this episode of 8 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: Amy and TJ. Deep Cuts, wrapping it up with a 9 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: number one here. Everybody thinks they know every M. Night 10 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: Shamalan movie for the most part, don't they. 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: That's right. But when you say this word, or at 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 2: least it's a one word title, a lot of folks 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: will say, huh, what never saw that one? 14 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: If you even give people an opportunity to start naming 15 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: his movies, how long before they come up with this one? 16 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 2: I think it would be a while. If ever so. 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 2: The movie our number one movie on our Halloween Horror 18 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: hit list is Devil from twoenty ten. People are going, huh, 19 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: it's just an hour twenty minutes and oh my goodness, 20 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: it's rated PG thirteen. 21 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say, folks. I I yes, 22 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: I very early in the countdown, I railed against PG 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: thirteen horror movies. I just I usually just don't watch them. 24 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: I don't stop. 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: Two in our top five and three in the top 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: ten are PG thirteen two. 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: I mean, so I got an egg on my face. 28 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: I completely in real time. That just went out the window. 29 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: But this is a PG thirteen thriller. 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: Yes, that is pretty much what it is. It is 31 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: a we have gone like, can we be fully honest 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: here and talk about our We have gone back and 33 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: forth because when we started making this list, we hadn't 34 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: looked at any of the critical reviews. We didn't consider 35 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: any of that when we made this list, and we 36 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: came up with our top five pretty quickly, and we 37 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: agreed on our number one without any debate. Then when 38 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: we started to research the movies, we actually question whether 39 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: or not we should move this from the number one spot. 40 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: Because it wasn't that well reviewed. People didn't know a 41 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: whole lot about it, and it just seemed to be 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: a dud of an m Night Shyamalan movie. No, no, no, no, 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: we're standing by it. I asked you. 44 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: You said nope, Because when we came up with this 45 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: list just based on our feelings and our reactions to 46 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: movies that we watch a lot of. We felt like 47 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: both of us this was the number one movie. We 48 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: have questioned that now that we've read what other people 49 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: think of this movie, so you know, but we're gonna 50 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: stand by what our original decision was, which was to 51 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: make Devil number one. Even my oldest Eva, who loves 52 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: horror movies, when she found out what our number one was, 53 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: she said, really. 54 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: Hey, it was before it's time. Okay, this is a 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: wonderful little film, and we will explain why it's so wonderful. 56 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: And one more tease here. The whole thing takes place 57 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: in an elevator. 58 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: Yes, there's very little other action. I mean, they do 59 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: have some scenes they cut back and forth from, but 60 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: mostly all the horror is happening in an elevator. So 61 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: here's the synopsis. Five Strangers Day begins with an elevator 62 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: ride in a Philadelphia office tower, but what happens next 63 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: is anything but ordinary. The elevator gets stuck, and the 64 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: trapped passengers, who expected to be together for just a 65 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: few minutes, now face the revelation of their secrets and transgressions. 66 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: Frightening events turn annoyance into terror as they begin to 67 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: realize that one of their number is Lucifer himself. 68 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: Wow. They I appreciate that they that that was the 69 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: snap they gave that out. So that is what we're 70 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: dealing with. How many in the elevator was five? 71 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: There was five strangers? Yes, and I you know, a 72 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: lot of the complaints that I saw from folks and 73 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: critics was that there wasn't enough character development. But I 74 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 2: actually really was invested in who which one was the devil, 75 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 2: what their past transgressions were that got them in this elevator, 76 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: because you realized that they were all there by design. 77 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: Character development is what they had issue with. Yeah, I'm 78 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: reacted to everybody, so did I. 79 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: And look the box office. It did better than I thought, 80 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 2: sixty two point six million internationally. But M Night Shyamalan 81 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: has a draw. When you see his name attached to 82 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: a movie, a lot of folks will go check it 83 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: out just because it's M Night Shyamalan and the cast 84 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: Chris Messina, you know his face, you might not know 85 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: his name. He was in Boogeyman, most recently a Big 86 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: Lawn Order guy. He was an argo. Ben Affleck loves 87 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: to put him in his movies and then Jenny O'Hara 88 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: is also in the elevator. Again, these are folks. When 89 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: you see their faces, you know them. You just don't 90 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: necessarily know their names. 91 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: You know, there's an act. I never knew his name 92 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: for sure, Bokeem would bind. Okay, he you will immediately 93 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: recognize him. He was being in a lot of black movies, 94 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: frankly Jason's lyric Dead Presidents, and he played in Life 95 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: with Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. He has been all 96 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: over the place. 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: Another really familiar face. 98 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: Oh you knew him as soon as you saw his face. 99 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: Yes, security guard. 100 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was great. But you had an emotional 101 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: reaction to him. The old lady I had a reaction to, 102 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: the young girl was annoying to me. And the guy 103 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: in the suit, like everybody in there. In a very 104 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: short amount of time. As far as character development goes, 105 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: you get them. 106 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: You have a feeling towards them, Yes, immediately, and it's visceral. 107 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: So I yes, I disagree with that. Produced and written 108 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: by M Mike Shamalan. The director was John Eric Dowdell. 109 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: But get this. The Rotten Tomatoes score there are forty 110 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: nine percent. Wow, I haven't seen it from the critics, 111 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: and the audience score is even lower at forty three percent. 112 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: Come on, folks, we got to get these numbers. 113 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: Up all right now. The critics consensus actually was pretty 114 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: good when you consider what that Rotten Tomato score just was. 115 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 2: It's better than many of the other films M Night 116 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: Shyamalan has been associated with. But Devil never gets more 117 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 2: than a few low budget thrills out of its fingdishly 118 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 2: promising premise. 119 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: It is a promising premise. I am never going to 120 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: say I wish they had done this or wish they 121 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: had done that. I can maybe understand why someone might 122 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: say that, but this thing works still perfectly to me. 123 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: I actually loved the fact that it was low budget 124 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 2: in the sense that there weren't huge special effects. There 125 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: wasn't some big dramatic action scene. This actually the tension 126 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 2: and the fear and the horror slowly and creepily develops 127 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 2: in a way that I thought was so good. The 128 00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: subtlety of it. 129 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: It so brilliant tension throughout. I mean, you start with that, right, 130 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: just start with it was what was the other movie? 131 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: I said, just by the fact just the setup itself, 132 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: the scent, Yes, in the cave like this, just the 133 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: scenario adds or the terror. What don't we every time 134 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: we go in an elevator, don't we fear two things? 135 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: One it getting stuck, two getting stuck with a couple 136 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: of assholes in. 137 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: Here or the devil. 138 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: Well, they usually don't have to worry about that, but 139 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: it does. It plays on those fears. Even if the 140 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: elevator doesn't get stuck, you worry about who might get 141 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: on with you. And it is even that for me 142 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: set a stage. 143 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: And maybe because we live in New York and we're 144 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: in elevators every single day of our lives, it struck 145 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: a higher horror level for us because think about it, 146 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: maybe a lot of people who live in suburbia or 147 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: whatever don't ever or rarely get into an elevator if 148 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: maybe they're in a hotel or a high rise. But 149 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: some people probably aren't in elevators very often. 150 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: Well, it is a horrible sceni we have to face 151 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: and make decisions about every single day of exactly. 152 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: So, yes, we are very hyper aware of elevator issues. 153 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: Some critic reviews here for you, and I did find 154 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: some good ones that I put in here, and I 155 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: did put a bad one in as well. If most 156 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: of Shyamalan's films take a long time to get laughable punchlines, 157 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,559 Speaker 2: Devil is quite the opposite, rushing headlong through all manner 158 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: of crazy plot points and red herring characters, an ideal 159 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: streaming time passer, short and packed with twists. 160 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: That's a good one. That's a good way to put it. 161 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: We're not trying to say this should have been nominated 162 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: for an Oscar. We're trying to say this is an intelligent, tense, 163 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: feel little nugget of a film. 164 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: Yes, here's another one. A taut, expert and engrossing thriller 165 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: with a sense of visual restraint that is refreshing in 166 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: this age of a borrent overexposure. 167 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: You know what, and m Nighthemalan has done some creative 168 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: things with cinematography before, this ain't one of them. Ye, 169 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: he was confined in an area in putting this film together. 170 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: I didn't think about it that way. That's a good so. 171 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: I actually love yes, what some of these critics said, 172 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: because it made they articulated why we loved it better 173 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: than I could. Here's another one. The dialogue is terse 174 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: and convincing given the premise and doubtell who's the director, 175 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: ratchets up the suspense with economical efficiency. The final twist, 176 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: while a stretch, is highly satisfying. 177 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: It is you're like, okay, okay, they got me kind 178 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: of a thing. Would you still like it? Yes? 179 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: Yes, And I would urge anybody who hasn't seen this 180 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 2: don't google it because pretty quickly they give it away. 181 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 2: It's really annoying. And my Shamalan's twists are the best 182 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: part about his movie. So please, please, please, if you 183 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: haven't heard of this movie, if you haven't read anything 184 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: about it, don't do it. Now. Watch the movie first. 185 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: Okay, we should. We will make sure we should put 186 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: that in the description of this episode that do not 187 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: look this film up. For this thing to work, you 188 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: have to go into it not knowing how it's going 189 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: to end. 190 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 2: Yes, if you already know the final twist, it's okay. 191 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 2: Obviously we've rewatched this movie multiple times, so we love it. 192 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: But it's so much better if you don't know the twist. 193 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: Here's a negative review. Devil features nothing new, exciting, or suspenseful. Instead, 194 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,119 Speaker 2: it gives us shallow, we developed characters and an ultimately 195 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: forgettable story. 196 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: Couldn't disagree more, Okay, fine, shallow we developed it's five 197 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: people who have an hour and twenty minutes. Yes, you 198 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: can't go to everybody's. 199 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 2: I thought it was really cool how we learned about 200 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: how each of those people, each of those characters ends 201 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: up in the elevator, because you'll learn this isn't giving 202 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: away too much that they were chosen. 203 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, by the devil. 204 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: Here's some audience reviews, one of the best. And by 205 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: the way, even though the audience review scores were lower 206 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: than the critics review, I found so many more positive reviews, 207 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: and a lot of them recent. So this was out 208 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 2: in twenty ten. What I love about Rotten Tomatoes is 209 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: that obviously people watch it streaming or they purchase it, 210 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 2: and then they put new reviews in which are I 211 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: think viewed through the lens of perhaps the perspective that 212 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: when you initially saw the movie you might not have. 213 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: So I think some of them are really interesting. One 214 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: of the best stories of m Night, A little bit 215 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: like Stephen King's style, low budget but very intriguing. Only 216 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 2: the ending could be different, in my honest opinion, very 217 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: good anyway, I but I the ending was perfect. 218 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: Still, the whole thing was intriguing. That was a mystery 219 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: in there that I love it, guessing couldn't figure it out. 220 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: Help. Here's another one. A total underrated movie. 221 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: Yep. 222 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 2: Great cast, amazing soundtrack, and wonderful direction make this a 223 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: must see. 224 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: Yep. 225 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 2: Don't believe the ratings. Just watch it and decide for yourself. 226 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: You will thank me later. We could have written that. 227 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: Here's another one. This movie is severely underrated. It has 228 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: pretty decent acting, a good plot, lots of love and care, 229 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: and a very good twist ending with many good kills 230 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: and jump scares. 231 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: Yeah there's no bad acting as well. Yeah, there's no 232 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: bad acting in this movie. 233 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: Agreed. Okay, here's an fun another good one. It's fun, 234 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 2: honestly a fun movie, very nice idea, and even though 235 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 2: it could have been developed more, it makes for a 236 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: cute thriller. The ending is isn't the poetic justice we expect, 237 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: but a more realistic take on forgiveness and moving forward. 238 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: There were larger themes. Am I is pretty good with that. 239 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: Yes you have horror, Yes you have thrills in a twist, 240 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: but he usually does have heart and a reason for 241 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: why he's writing this story and selling it. 242 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: And you do have a moment that you do stop 243 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,239 Speaker 1: and think and reflect. There is a moment that they 244 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: built into the again, the bigger moral It does have 245 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: a bigger moral thing. 246 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I liked that because there was real storytelling involved. 247 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: Sometimes horror movies are just slashers. This isn't about the kills. 248 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: This is about the story, and that's what I think 249 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: one of the reasons why we loved it. Now here's 250 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 2: a bad review from an audience member. Devil has to 251 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: be one of the most stupidest, which I thought was 252 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 2: ironic that that was the phrase used. Devil has to 253 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: be one of the most stupidest but funniest movies I've 254 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: ever watched. The movie tries so hard to be scary, 255 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: but it ends up being too funny. And there are 256 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: also so too many characters throughout which aren't that interest 257 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: interesting and they are pretty pointless characters. Overall, Devil is 258 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: a movie that tries too hard to be scary but 259 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 2: ends up being hilariously stupid. 260 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: Okay, it's it's okay, fine if you have that opinion, 261 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: but if going into it, I just heads up, homie, 262 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: it's PG. Thirteen. It's trying to be scary, No it's not. 263 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: If it were, it was, it would be a great 264 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: r It's not trying to be scary. 265 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: It's such a good point. You have to go into 266 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: it with the right mindset. All right. When we come back, 267 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about why this is our number one, 268 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: not just that it made our list, but why we 269 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: chose this movie to be number one, Who it's for, 270 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: who it's not for, what to pair it with, and 271 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 2: where to watch it. Continuing now with our number one 272 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: movie on our Halloween Horror hit list, we have been 273 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: counting down all month long to our number one movie, Devil. 274 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 2: Why was this your number one movie? 275 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: Babe? It was a surprise. It was a surprising film 276 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: when I first saw it and then left an impression. 277 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what my expectations were going into it, 278 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: but generally speaking, I mean, I respect m Night Sheemalan, 279 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: but I'm not running to see an Night Shremalan movie. 280 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: Usually signs I loved Village, I get and it all 281 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: of his movies. I've appreciate it, but I'm not some 282 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: hardcore m Night fan, and so seeing this one, I 283 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: this made me a big time m Night Cemalan fan. 284 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't think I saw it when it first first 285 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: came out. I think I was a couple of years late, 286 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: but I think this turned the corner for me as 287 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: for M Night C. Shemalan, because it's just these are 288 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: the types of things when you consider a scenario and 289 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: you can't figure it out, like, how are they going 290 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: to reveal this thing? There are five characters, somebody is 291 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: in control of this thing, how are we going to 292 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: figure it out? And then members start falling off into 293 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: still you can't figure it out. I love that kind 294 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: of stuff. 295 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: I agree this. I remembered this movie because of how 296 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: it made me feel. I was absolutely in a movie 297 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: that had very little action, on the edge of my 298 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: seat trying to figure out where the evil was coming 299 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: from and not being able to do so. I appreciated 300 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: that so much. I have been an M Night fan. 301 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: I love the sixth Sense, I love the Village, I 302 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 2: love Signs, all of those movies. The visit, I will 303 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: go out and see M Night. Oh well, yeah, that 304 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: was the most disappointing of them all. But I will 305 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: go out to see an M Night movie if I 306 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: see it's in the theaters, I will go. They're not 307 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: all great. 308 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: We went to that one we saw trap and everything 309 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: that happened in that arena. It was classic m night. 310 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: We were on the edge of ours so good. 311 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: The first half of it was amazing. I do think 312 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 2: that's where oftentimes his stories sometimes fall apart, is the 313 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: twist isn't that grade or it's kind of an annoying twist, 314 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: Like I remember in Signs it was that the aliens 315 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: couldn't turn a doorknob and water destroyed them. I'm like, really, 316 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 2: they're going to go to a planet that's three quarters 317 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: water when that's their kryptonite. Anyway, I've had issues with 318 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: even movies that I like about his twist. This twist 319 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 2: was awesome, and I think I loved this twist the 320 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: most out of any twist I've seen, or at least 321 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: it got me. And I always just think this is 322 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: a fun movie to watch and to introduce to people. 323 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: I think that's it. This was a twist maybe that 324 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: I like. I didn't mind the twists and Signs about 325 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: the water and the can't turn a doorknob and all that. 326 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you had a problem with that, but you 327 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: do realize that aliens were coming and making crop circles. Yes, 328 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: that part you had no problem with it. 329 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: They were communicating to the mother ships. That made total 330 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: sense to me, but no I do. And so this 331 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: movie is fun because I have recommended this movie. I 332 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: don't know if you have to to folks who have 333 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 2: never seen an m Night movie, who don't really like 334 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: horror movies. I just think this has a universal appeal 335 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: because again, it's more of a thriller. It's still a 336 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: horror movie for sure. You've got supernatural, you've got deaths, 337 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: you've got mystery entury, but there's a thriller element to this. 338 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: Like even my parents that don't like horror movies, they 339 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: love this movie. It's that good. So who was it for? 340 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: It's for everyone. 341 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say, there's no one. I wouldn't recommend this 342 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: movie to hardcore horror movie fans. There's something there for you. 343 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: If you hate horror movies, there's something in here for you. 344 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: I just I can't even give my heads up to 345 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: people who don't like blood and gore. And it's not 346 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: going to be a problem. Anybody can watch this movie 347 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: and it's PG. 348 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 2: Thirteen, So it's fun for the whole family. Who is 349 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: it not for? I guess anyone who's going to be 350 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: critical and go into it with some sort of expectation 351 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: that it has to be this, that and the other, 352 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 2: and really other than that, I can't I can't imagine. 353 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 2: I was shocked reading people's reaction to it, saying it 354 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: was stupid. I just didn't think it was stupid at all. 355 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: I thought it was super smart. 356 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: Of course, to pull that off is in the writing. Yeah, 357 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate a good story, but yeah, some people. I 358 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: think some people are going to have to take issue 359 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: with this or go what or I didn't see that, 360 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: or I don't know. People to be critical, it's what 361 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: people do. 362 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: It's fine, that's fine, it's fine, that's okay. We stand 363 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 2: by our number one and in terms of I love 364 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 2: this about the movie, to food, drink, and how to 365 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 2: watch it, where to watch it. You can watch this alone, 366 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 2: You can watch this in the day or at night. 367 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: To me, this can be watched anywhere, anytime, with anyone 368 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 2: or no one. 369 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: Yes, and then again we always note this, but it 370 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: can be watched in the day for a reason because 371 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: it happens in a lit elevator the whole movie, so 372 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: you can see without the glare of the sun if 373 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: you're watching. 374 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: Yes, and so in terms of what to pair with, 375 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: you know what, go lean in hard with the devil theme. 376 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: You know, it's Halloween, so just like be all in 377 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: deviled eggs, red velvet cake, fireball shots. Those are my suggestions. 378 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: Jesus crime Ay, well, at my party, we're gonna serve 379 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: healthy snacks. No, I don't know. 380 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: It might be a hell of a morning the next 381 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: day after your deviled eggs, red velvet cake and fireball shots. 382 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that. But you know, it's 383 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: a hell of a good time enjoying the movie, so 384 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: have fun. 385 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: Where do you find this didn't we have a hard time. 386 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: We could not find it, and so we went ahead 387 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 2: and purchased it on Apple TV. I think Fandango at 388 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: Home you can also purchase it. So for me, this 389 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: one was so good that this is when we'll go 390 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: back to. We've gone back to enough times so we 391 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: didn't even want to wait. Look, it's great when you 392 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 2: can get it on Netflix or something that most people 393 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 2: have a streaming service. But I think this one costs. 394 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: You can run it for three ninety nine or you 395 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: can buy it for fourteen ninety nine, which we chose 396 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: to purchase it you. 397 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: Use the word cute earlier in somebody's review. I think 398 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: that's a it's a weird I've never thought about it 399 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: that way. This is a cute little movie.
