WEBVTT - Deep Cuts Horror Hit List #14 “Re/Member”

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>It is Saturday, October the eighteenth, and we have got

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>a movie for you. It is a foreign language coming

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>of age teen horror film that isn't rated very well

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>on Rotten Tomatoes, but trust us, there's a reason it's

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>number fourteen on our list. And welcome to this horror

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>hit List episode of Amy and TJ. We are getting

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>into the top fifteen. And this was one. In the

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>last episode at Least Rose, we warned everybody, Okay, this

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>is the one. If y'all didn't think we were crazy before,

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you might question us on this one.

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I was actually surprised.

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 3>I remember exactly where we were when we watched this,

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>and we were both it was exactly what we needed.

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 3>It was a morning horror movie and we were kind

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 3>of our own horror at the time, and so this

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>was just such a fun departure from real life that

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>also fit the bill of the type of movie we like.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 2>And I was surprised. You know what, I've just kind of.

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Come to realize. Do you and I ever disagree about

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 3>whether we like a horror movie. We've almost always had

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 3>the same reaction.

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, we might have to find one. Okay, we

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>might have to find one. I don't have one that

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I disagree. There's some we enjoyed mine.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what substance, Yes, okay, that is the one.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I liked it. You hated it.

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 3>That's rare, though, and this could have been one where

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.639
<v Speaker 3>I could see, even people who are of like mind

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 3>and love horror movies. One person might love it, the

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 3>other person might not. I was actually, I think this

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 3>is the moment when I looked at you and I

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 3>thought he's the one. We both get this movie the

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 3>mom I'm kidding, but it was one of many. But no, seriously,

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't think this movie is for everyone. And the

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 3>fact that we both loved it. I just liked it,

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.559
<v Speaker 3>but loved it spoke volume.

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>But it's for some folks. They're very specific reasons, like

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>there are some people don't look like some demonic possession

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and creeps them out. Others don't want to see the

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>gore and the guts. I am a body. Horror is

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the thing I do not handle and don't ever want

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to see. And that's why the substance, as awesome as

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody was in that movie, and even the story and

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the idea of it.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Excuse you, you couldn't, but it's funny you like. This

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 3>one has body horror in it for sure.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's just violence, like like I could take

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a brutal death. Don't give me the sounds and these slow.

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Sewing up a cut like with stitches and needles.

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I get that things.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Get did, things get deformed and all that. I'm not

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a big fan of that. So this is I didn't

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>know and we didn't know what to expect. But I

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>see the release date on It was October fourteenth of

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two, and that is about two months before

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>shit hit the fang with us at ABC. Yeah, so

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>this might have been a thing that we had had

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Netflix on and go oh there was a new something

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and we turned it on.

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly I remember.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 3>It was in the early days of us not knowing

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 3>what our lives were going to look like, everything was

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 3>turned upside down. We just happened upon this movie on

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Netflix a few months after its release, I believe, and

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 3>we were transfixed by it.

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>So a few Japanese teenagers really helped us through it all.

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>So thank you to the cast of Remember. And it's

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>not just the word remember, it's actually spelled out a

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>very specific way.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Here, like as in Remembering a Body Yes re slash member.

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, if you go looking for it, that is

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>what it looks like. And it is number fourteen on

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>our list. Released as we mentioned in October of twenty

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty two, one hour and forty two minutes long. It

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't come with a rating. But the genre is horror,

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>drama and sci fi. I thought that was a good

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>way to put it. And we have two. I've never

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>had to say it in plural synopsis, synopsis synopsis, I

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I never had to say it before. We

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>got two different one and I liked them both, so

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I included them both. The first one here the synopsis

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>for this movie. Six high schoolers stuck in a murderous

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>time loop must find these scattered remains of an unknown

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>victim to break the curse and finally see another day.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>That's well said.

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't come up with that better recepts, all right? There

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>was another.

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>There's an alternative.

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 3>A high school student and her friends are trapped in

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 3>a time loop by a ghost, and the only way

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 3>to escape is to find the corpse of the ghost's

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:44.840
<v Speaker 3>previous victim.

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Also good, more specific, Yes, it is a more confusing

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in that second one. Now, this one was not released

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>here in the US. Again a Japanese film, but it

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 1>did make eight point one million dollars at the box office. Now,

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these you don't the names of a

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>lot of these, the cast here, but the director is

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Ichiro Hasumi. I think he has a couple of other

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>horror credits to his name, some TV stuff as well.

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>But again, this is not a huge movie, not a

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>huge cast, and not a huge director necessarily attached to it.

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Ron Tomatoes score here fifty seven percent. That ain't great.

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>The audience score fifty percent. Now you seeing that, would

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.159
<v Speaker 1>you have been turned off immediately by now?

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Really no, I would not, because actually fifty percent, I'm like,

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 3>all right, half the people who watched it loved it.

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 3>I could be in that half, So that would not

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 3>have scared me away at all.

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>That's funny, are you the logic you put behind a

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>ron Tomatoes score. Some sample critic reviews here. The critics said,

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>this a pleasant surprise for viewers without prejudices towards the

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>tropes of juvenile cinema. They're saying, you got to be

0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 1>able to deal with some teeny bopper stuff.

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Correct, There was almost a little bit of a rom

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 3>com in the middle of the horror, so at one

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 3>point we just burst out laughing.

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I actually thought it was welcome comedic relief.

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if it was. It wasn't necessarily

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>funny that they're showing you, but it's so silly that

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>it's happening in that moment you had to last.

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 2>It might even be cultural. I mean, yes, that's what.

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 3>We were thinking, like it could be that in Japanese movies,

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 3>this is just something that happens. Because it seemed ridiculous

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 3>and we were watching it. This band of teenagers, unlikely

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 3>friends who were actually not friends in high school were

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 3>thrust together trying to solve this mystery where they were

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 3>all kind of in this nightmarish loop. But then in

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 3>the middle of it all, they're enjoying volleyball on the beach,

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 3>and it was like, wait, is this Japanese version of

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 3>nine O two one zero? Or am I still watching

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 3>a horror movie? But it actually was hilarious and we

0:06:58.680 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 3>loved it.

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>But I did places and looking this up that yes,

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>this there were culture moments that played to the Japanese

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>culture and books and art and things that they were into.

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It absolutely says, so with that in mind, it does

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>make more sense. Another review here from a critic saying

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>that Remember is, in short, a pleasant experience that succeeds

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>in offering both the thrills of a horror slasher as

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>well as a touching exploration of romantic and amical amical feelings.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so yeah, so there is a little wrong comment.

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>There supposed to But I had not. I loved some

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>people don't want it, and this is not what I

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>should have been into. I love the friendship story.

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I loved that you loved it.

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually did it. This one.

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 3>It had heart, you know, in a almost in a

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 3>silly way. But again, because of the different culture, you

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 3>could almost accept it. I feel like if this were

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 3>an American made movie, it wouldn't have it. It wouldn't

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 3>have landed the way it did.

0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 2>The fact that it was Japanese.

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, edwould No, I don't know that. And if

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>we had someone here in this country doing this movie,

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and it wouldn't have played well probably in a different

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>culture as well, if we did it the way we.

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Do it here in America.

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Right now, I'm really curious to see what the audience

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 3>reviews were like with the fifty to fifty you had

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 3>to have some bad and some good.

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So for many, by the time the big monster

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>shows up, the film will have already devolved into an

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>illogical and silly exercise, and for some the final third

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>will be laughably goofy. I agree, and that would have

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>been in my positive view, all of that sounds about.

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Right, agreed. I don't.

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I think that is a fair depiction of what happens.

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 3>And so this, like we have talked about in this list,

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 3>we have genuinely scary, horrifying, creepy, awful, but also funny, comedic, heartwarming.

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 3>There are so many different types of horror stories, and

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 3>I do think it depends on the mood you're in,

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 3>the person you're with, the time of day, what you're

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 3>experiencing in your life. They can all have a place

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 3>as long as they're well executed. And I think this

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 3>one knows what it is and leaned right into it,

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 3>and we appreciate it.

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, for us as well, maybe we did find

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it at the right time, not just time in our lives,

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>but also right time of day. We were just in

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the morning, turn the TV on and see it there

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and it gave us an hour and a half of

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>not thinking about anything else, and it was a good time.

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 2>It was right, truly this.

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 3>We watched this movie in the first few weeks of

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 3>not having a job and not knowing if we were

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.559
<v Speaker 3>gonna have a job, and feeling so stressed and lost

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 3>about all of that and what we should do with

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 3>our lives and our time and where our heads.

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 2>So this was just the perfect escape.

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, to see Japanese teenagers killed repeatedly, Yes, that's what

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>we needed. Also another review here, I haven't seen this

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>word before and enjoyable ish horror. That was okay, but

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I probably won't watch it again. The film starts off

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>good with a gory murder, but afterwards it gets quite

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>slow for a bit, and after a while there are

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>some more gory murders in quite a horrific monster, But

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>then the film goes back to trying to be a

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>drama and gets a bit boring.

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I never thought it was boring. No, I never thought

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 2>it was boring.

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I did think it was hilarious and funny and entertaining.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.319
<v Speaker 3>For it to flip back and forth to different genres, Yes, you.

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Know what we should add It did add to this

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 1>movie being funny is again it's his foreign language in Japanese,

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>so you can choose to read along with the subtitles,

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>or you could do like we did.

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 2>With the dub.

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.079
<v Speaker 3>And we love the dub because the dub actors, I

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:45.239
<v Speaker 3>don't know who you are, but it's always comical.

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>It gives us life every time because you're supposed to

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>be some Japanese teenager twirling around on a beach and

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you're actually some twenty year old white guy in a

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>booth in La trying to voice it. It's hard to

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>put yourself in.

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 3>That it makes it even funnier. I love Dove movie.

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 3>It's great, and especially when it's horror, because somehow it's

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. It just adds a whole other layer

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 3>to the entertainment when you're watching and hearing the dub voice.

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>So we highly recommend the dubbing. Now one more for

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you here someone here saying I like Asian cinema in

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>general because I finally find it pleasantly weird perfect. The

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>plot sounds intriguing, the idea nothing new, but if you're

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a fan of Time Loop, it could be worth a watch,

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>or at least that's what I thought. Unfortunately, After a

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 1>good beginning, the movie turns from a horror with potential

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>to a weird friendship trip where the movie completely loses

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>its way. Kind of agree with that too, Yeah, but we.

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Were okay, we were willing to get lost.

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 1>It was a friendship trip. It was funny, these sweet

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>tender moments that I'm seeing these again Japanese actors with

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>very American sounding dubbing. It's made for a bizarre movie

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to watch. I enjoyed it. Why this one? I think

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>we made it pretty clear here why this one's on

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>our list rose that meant a lot to us at

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the time. We didn't realize, but it gave us an

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>escape and it is. It's a pleasant surprise.

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we just recently rewatched it and it held.

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Just wanted to say, so when we come back, we're

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>going to talk about why it made our list, who

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 3>it's for, who it's not for, what to pair it with,

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 3>and to tease.

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 2>For our next movie on the list. To stay with.

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Us continuing our episode on remember Ree with a backslash,

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 3>member number fourteen on our Halloween Horror hit list. And

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 3>this is a departure from a lot of the other

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 3>movies we have on our list. First of all, it's

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 3>a foreign film. It's we watched it dubbed, it's a

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Japanese film, and it blends a lot of genres and

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 3>is abrupt in some ways where suddenly you're in the

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.319
<v Speaker 3>middle of some gory horror shot and then you have

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 3>kids coming of age playing volleyball on a beach. But

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 3>that relief and that back and forth was actually a

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 3>huge part of the reason why we loved it and

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 3>thought it was hilarious and interesting and fascinating and fun

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 3>to watch period for a horror movie.

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 2>So we went through some of the reviews. They are

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:20.199
<v Speaker 2>certainly mixed.

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 3>But why it made our list it just I think

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 3>I love the way some movies make you feel, and

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 3>this movie, I remember how I felt when I watched it.

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 3>I felt I was laughing, I was entertained. I felt

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 3>I was in the moment. I wasn't thinking about anything

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 3>else that was going on in my life. I was

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 3>there for it, and I was immersed and invested in

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 3>the story. And I feel like any movie they can

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 3>do that that can pull you in is worth watching

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 3>and worth recommending.

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>And again this is me. I enjoyed the friendship story.

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate. There was a kind of a loaner. Then

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>they got the cool kids here, You've got the athlete

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>over here, you've got the cute guy over here, and

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 1>all these people are not really mixing together until they

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>were forced together and had to form their own family

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 1>and their own love and their own structure based on circumstances.

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I loved how it showed us what they were and

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>what they became, and what they found out is that

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>we are actually the same, and it took a monster

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>chasing us to realize we're not different at all.

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 3>What's more uniting than a common foe, right, And that

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 3>is kind of the premise of the movie. I feel

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 3>like it was a little bit like sixteen Candles meets

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 3>a ghost story. And I know you don't necessarily know

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 3>what sixteen Candles is all about, but for me, that

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 3>was a coming of age or breakfast club something where

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 3>you have an unlikely group of people coming together again,

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 3>another white coming of age movie that you did not see.

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I love when you start giving me cultural references to

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>help me understand another cultural reference, and all of them

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard of.

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 3>What's a black coming of age movie that you think

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 3>about and you say that that reminds me of coming

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 3>up coming.

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Of age movie for black folks. Yeah, yeah, we don't

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>have that's usually just the beginning and an end. We

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>don't get a chance to go through. Who wants to

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 1>sit and look at a black life on the big screen?

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>This is another I'm sorry I asked, all right, who's

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 2>it for?

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 3>This movie is for anybody who wants to be entertained

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 3>and who is not going to Who's again? I think

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I've said this for Sometimes you're looking for an elevated

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 3>horror movie experience, this is not for you. You don't

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 3>if you are looking for something to scare you, to

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 3>make you think deeper, this is not your movie.

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 2>This is just.

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Fun, laughable, laugh out loud, but still in the horror

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 3>genre kind of a movie. And I just think you

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 3>definitely need to be in that mindset when you sit

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 3>down to watch it.

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Illogical, I think said in that word was using one

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>of the reviews. It's illogical. I won't trying to make

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>sense of what's happening. It's kids in a time loop,

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>for God's sake, They're waking up every day living the

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 1>same damn day.

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's groundhog Day.

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 3>As well, there's another movie that it could be, like

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 3>groundhog Day meets a ghost story?

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.720
<v Speaker 1>A ghost story? Is that a movie? Or you just

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>saying anything.

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Ghost like a haunting, some sort of a haunting story

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 3>with a groundhog Day and a sixteen candles all mixed

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 3>in one.

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know I was missing another cultural reference of yours.

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so anyone? Yes, I like who it's not for you?

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Wrote anyone who needs things to make sense?

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is not your movie?

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 2>But isn't that We've talked about this before.

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 3>In horror movies, you just really do have to suspend

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 3>logic and judgment.

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 2>And often most movies that is the case, even.

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>The High bra Ones, right, who didn't people love get Out?

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't that a horror movie?

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? How much of that made sense?

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Like almost none of it? But it was just a fun,

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 3>watch wild movie.

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they're all a logical.

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 3>I remember when we watched it, we had we were

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 3>so surprised. We did not think it was going to

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 3>be good. Look, a lot of times, we let's be honest,

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 3>we will deliver pick bad, campy, horribly active movies just

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 3>to laugh.

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.160
<v Speaker 2>We actually thought this was gonna be one of them.

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 3>It's not far from it, but we can't tell how

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:11.719
<v Speaker 3>well it was acted because of the dubbing.

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know that I'm usually an immediate no. If

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I see there's a foreign language subtitle, don't want to

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>do it. I don't know why we did this.

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 3>For some reason, you were like, all right, let it rip.

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we didn't know it was dubbed. And then we

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.560
