1
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody. It is Monday, October twenty seventh. We

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: have made it to our Top five and our horror

3
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: movie hit lists, the top five movies that we love

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: that we think maybe a lot of people have not

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: heard of. And number five on our list is not

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: for you if you are claustrophobic with that. Welcome to

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: this episode of Amy and TJ. Roobes. This was one

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: where I knew you were.

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: Realin when we discussed our shared love of this film.

10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: Yes, we knew we had a kindred spirit. At least.

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: It was actually towards the beginning of our friendship that

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: we both realized that we loved The Descent.

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: This is a fantastic movie. I think a lot of

14
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: people do. This isn't too much of an underground It's

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: a cult.

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: I see what we did there.

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Now what it's a It's not really this is a

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: This is a mainstream hit, isn't it.

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: I think it is now.

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: I think now that we have streaming services and you

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: can watch movies that maybe fell under the radar before.

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: This wasn't a movie that I knew of anyone going

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: to the theaters to go see. But I actually believe this

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: was the summer of two thousand and six. I'm trying

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: to think if I how I saw this either on

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: a DVD or what.

27
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: Were you doing in two thousand and six? Two thousand and.

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: Six, I was given I was giving birth to Annalise,

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: is what I was doing.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: I was moving to Atlanta.

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: So that's so funny.

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: Wow, so wow. Anyway, summer of two thousand and six, folks,

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: is when The Descent, our number five movie came out.

34
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: The Descent, Yes, it's an hour and thirty nine minutes long,

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: rated R. It has classified these ways horror, mystery, and thriller,

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: adventure adventure, that is for sure.

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: That's right.

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: So here is the synopsis for The Dissent. A year

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: after a severe emotional trauma, Sarah goes to North Carolina

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: to spend some time exploring caves with her friends. After

41
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: descending underground, the women find strange cave paintings and evidence

42
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: of an earlier expedition. They then learn they are not

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: alone underground predators inhabit the crevasses, and they have a

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: taste for human flesh.

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: It actually did really well in the box office.

46
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: Did I didn't remember it having a box office run.

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: But I think I literally was on maternity leave when

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: this was out, so I'm thinking that somehow maybe I

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 2: got to see it as soon as it hit a

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: streaming service. Back then I had some time on my hands,

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: so I remember watching it by myself, perhaps a middle

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: of the night feeding. But it made twenty six million domestically,

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: thirty one internationally, so fifty seven million total.

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: That's great with the budget less than ten million.

55
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a good looking movie. You just said

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: you watched it alone. That is not something we're going

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: to be recommending. This cast includes Sean on the McDonald,

58
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Natalie Mendoza, Alex Reed, Saskia Mulder, Nora Jane Noon. I

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: didn't recognize a lot of the faces in the movie.

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: It was a British indie flick, was it not.

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: Yes, it was set in North Carolina, but I do

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: believe there was I believe there were British makers.

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: That was what I recall.

64
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Yet, and the lead was I think she's Scottish, and

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: so yeah, it certainly I forgot who was in North

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: Carolina because everybody has an accent, and it seemed yeah,

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: so you're right. The director here is Neil Marshall. Now

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: we always love to say don't take our word for it.

69
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Written Tomato scores for the critics and robes. The audience

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: seemed to.

71
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Like it, Yes, eighty seven percent for the critics and

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: the audience seventy six percent.

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: Maybe just because it's.

74
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: A little gory, a little gross, a little scary. Little look,

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm claustrophobic. I have to say, heights don't bother me,

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: but you like to me, like worst case scenario would

77
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: be trapped in a submarine or something I would lose

78
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: lose my mind.

79
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: Like the idea of.

80
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: Having to go into a submarine scares the but Jesus

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: out of me. And so the reason why I was

82
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: able to watch this movie alone though, by the way,

83
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: is because I have.

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: Zero plans on caving anytime soon.

85
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: So I felt like, you know what, I can watch

86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: this and be totally creeped out and still feel safe

87
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: in my living room nursing a little baby.

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 3: Just it was just it was a sweet moment.

89
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Two things, you know, One you knew you were never

90
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: going to go into a cave and get trapped, correct.

91
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: And two if there are these creatures down there, you're

92
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: never gonna go find out any correct. All good, very

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: good way of putting it. The critic Gonzendus put it

94
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: this way, deft direction and strong performances from its all

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: female cast. Guide The Descent a riveting, claustrophobic horror film,

96
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: that the cast is their their dynamic is pretty.

97
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: Cool, so good and in fact, look and we I

98
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: think you and I when we first realized we shared

99
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: a love of this movie, when we both said, and

100
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 2: the Descent Too is just as good. Now the critics

101
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: don't give it the same reviews. I believe, but I

102
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: thought it was such a good It picked up where

103
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: this one leaves off. So if you love this movie,

104
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: please please check out the Part Too basically.

105
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: So we can give Yeah, we'll give you a two

106
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: fer on this one the Descent. And The Descent Too

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: is wortheeing as well. Now some critic reviews. I included

108
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: a lot now blazed through them because I think you'll

109
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: relate to a lot of them in their shorts. Some

110
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: of the critic reviews, it's brutal, bloody, and brilliantly entertaining. Yes, correct,

111
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: all right, you will feel like you have descended to

112
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: the pits of hell.

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: It is true, you feel like you are right there

114
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: with them. I mean you do, like you my blood

115
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: would like, like, actually chill when I saw what they saw,

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: like your heart actually stops with them. You feel like

117
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 2: you are in these caves with these women.

118
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't think about it this way. So

119
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: much of it they had to be up close, even

120
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: the fights in the this and that nothing is happening

121
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: from a distance in this movie. Another one, often terrifying,

122
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: often brilliant. Another one saying parents would be best to

123
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: protect their children from the concept went psychological trauma of

124
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: letting them see this.

125
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: Honestly, yes, to think that there are creatures like that

126
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: living beneath you is really freaky, like super duper freaky.

127
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: Here is one for you that was negative. A mindless,

128
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: mindless tense fright fest.

129
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: A mindless tense fright fest. Yes, mindless. I mean, I

130
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: don't know.

131
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: I think there was a lot of mind games going

132
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: on there. What I liked about this movie is, yes,

133
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: you're dealing with this creature, but you don't even see

134
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: a creature.

135
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: By the way, for the first half of the movie.

136
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: Didn't we clock that and.

137
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: At least an hour.

138
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: Because it's terrifying, first of all, just being beneath the

139
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: surface like that they're going into uncharted territory. They didn't

140
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: realize they were getting into this. At least some of

141
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: the women in the characters did not know they were

142
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: putting themselves in this pioneering position. But you're scared for

143
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: them just being trapped, let alone having a subspecies of

144
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: humans down there attacking them.

145
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: That doesn't even come to later. But there are also

146
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: ten within the group.

147
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: Because there was a tragedy to begin with, there was

148
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: some husband Sharon, I think that was going on. So

149
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: I actually to say it's mindless makes no sense to me.

150
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: There were a lot of other plots going on that

151
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: made it really interesting.

152
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: They're fighting each other, they're fighting to stay alive, and

153
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: they're fighting to get the hell out of there, right,

154
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: so mindless I find sometimes we've talked about this on

155
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: some of the episodes. If not we you and I

156
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: have talked about this. I sometimes see the higher the

157
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: rating like the dumber the negative ratings.

158
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: They're trying to find a way.

159
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be contrary, they don't necessarily take on that

160
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: I didn't like this acting or this writing. It was

161
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: just I don't understand why anybody even liked this. It's

162
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: just mindless.

163
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: Huh, what's that's a mindless comment? I like this critic review.

164
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: No one really enjoys nausea. But for those of you

165
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: who bragg that a horror movie is so scary that

166
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: it made me sick, here is The Descent, Hey, grown ups,

167
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: only gorefest that is bound to have you cringing and

168
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: jumping out of your seat at least once.

169
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: Well said, I like that gorefest is correct. This is

170
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: one of you know what, there's some that seem gratuitous.

171
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Are going a little long this for the sake of

172
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: the I guess there is a nature to these creatures

173
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: that has to coincide with how they go about feeding

174
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: and fighting and killing.

175
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: There's a savageness to it.

176
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: And they capture that in the dark. Now. The Descent

177
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: is so expertly made that it more than holds its

178
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: own as a full throttle horror flick. Yes, it's the

179
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: director's decision to provide it with a psychological bent that

180
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: puts it firmly over the top.

181
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly.

182
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: He toys with our mind this whole movie.

183
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: You're rooting for these women to get out of there

184
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: and to get away from these things, like so you're

185
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: so invested in them escaping.

186
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: You are so into it and on the edge of

187
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: your seat the entire time.

188
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: From the sample audience, Now, I didn't even I've never

189
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: used this word before. Uh. Claustrophobically terrifying. One of the

190
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: best horror movies ever made. Another thing that the scent

191
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: is a thrilling surprise from start to finish. Here is

192
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: my favorite, though Robes, I am now officially scared of

193
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: the dark. It starts off with a bang with the

194
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: two deaths, and immediately I knew I regretted watching this.

195
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: They gave it five stars.

196
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: In parentheses, gave it five stars, but you're, like anyone

197
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: who loves horror movies totally gets that.

198
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 3: Yes, this is.

199
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: Truly one of the creepiest movies you will ever see.

200
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: Fantastic all female cast, a terrific storyline, and so many

201
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: atmospheric and terrifying scenes.

202
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 3: I love this.

203
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: This is the only movie that made me so uncomfortable

204
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: with the claustrophobic scenes near the beginning that I seriously

205
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: wanted to leave the theater.

206
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a good review.

207
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: I think that is the If we're recommending this one,

208
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: we say why this one made our list? And I

209
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: think this is one of the reasons for me Robes

210
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: is that if monsters never showed up, this was a

211
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: horror movie on its own. There are scenes and where

212
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: they're stuck and a couple of women start panicking because

213
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: they think they won't be able to get out that

214
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: you are breathing. You find yourself breathing hard watching this.

215
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: It was a horror movie.

216
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 3: Yes, before the creatures.

217
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: Yes, and even the dread of their they say that

218
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: at one point, I think they said they were a

219
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: mile or something underground, so there's no light, and so

220
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: there's dread from the jump. As soon as their batteries

221
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: go out on their lights, it's gonna be pitch black.

222
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: Even the idea of that can you racing against time.

223
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: Against batteries, even that attitude this being a horror movie for.

224
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: It it is.

225
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it is so scary from start to finish.

226
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: It is a wild ride. So when we come back,

227
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,239
Speaker 2: we're gonna tell you, Yes, we'll get into the specifics

228
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: of why it made our list, who it's for, who

229
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: it's not for, what to pair it with, and where

230
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: to watch it. Plus of course you will tease ahead

231
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: to our number four on the list. We are in

232
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: our top five people, and we continue our conversation on

233
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: the dissent.

234
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: It is number.

235
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: Five on our Halloween Horror hit list, and it has

236
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: been one of our favorite horror movies for almost twenty

237
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: years now, and we hope it will soon be one

238
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 2: of your favorites as well.

239
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,359
Speaker 3: It is terrifying.

240
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: It has all the elements of being stuck somewhere claustrophobic,

241
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: you're underground, you're fighting within your own factions, and now

242
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: you've got these flesh eating, subhuman, subterranean creatures after you.

243
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: It's so scary and it's so good, and the critics

244
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: and the audience finally actually agree with us. It doesn't

245
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: always happen, but this is one of those where there

246
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: seems to be an absolute consensus. Why it made our list, Well,

247
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: we bonded over it, so it had to be on

248
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: the list. It's one of our favorite first horror movie

249
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: conversations we ever had. And it's it's so intense. I

250
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: think that was like it's heart pounding. It never lets up,

251
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: and you are on a ride and you're like you're

252
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: on this fast moving train and you can't get off it.

253
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again when there's a horror movie does a

254
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: formula to where if you don't see the monster the

255
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: bad guy, you're not supposed to be scared. This is

256
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: a movie where you are terrified before a monster ever

257
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: shows up. And they were able to create this tension

258
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: and this I don't know, just the lighting and the

259
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: setting and everything about it. They created an environment. This

260
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: is an experience of a movie.

261
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I totally agree with that.

262
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: And the acting is incredible from people who you don't

263
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: even know, so just really phenomenal act do really good.

264
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: I was gonna say storytelling, but I was horror telling.

265
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: But it's kind of both horror storytelling.

266
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: Who's this for? If you love a monster?

267
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: And there are certain we've talked about in this list,

268
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: lots of different subgenres of horror movies, But I love

269
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: a creature film, and this is an unexpected one, not

270
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: one you've seen before, yes, and not one really i've

271
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: seen since. I think they're so good at just giving

272
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: you glimpses of these things and you're waiting for it

273
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: and you don't and there oh, but the way they

274
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: did it, it's so realistic looking.

275
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: It's not over the top.

276
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: It actually is exactly what you think subterranean cave dwelling,

277
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: flesh eating things would like half human, what they would

278
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: look like.

279
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: Ooh ooh, this is one we have to say here.

280
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: You have to have to have to watch this in

281
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: the dark. It needs to be pitch black in the

282
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: room because so much of this. Yes, they're in caves.

283
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: There's it's very low lighting, and a lot of these fights,

284
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff happens pretty quickly in very low lighting.

285
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: Yes.

286
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: Yes.

287
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: And also if you love like survival adventure type of

288
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: horror movies, this is that's got that element to it

289
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: as well. A race against time, a race against creatures,

290
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: and a race against just even your own conditions, like

291
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: trying to get out of something. It's it's so good, now,

292
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: who is it not for this is? It gets pretty gory.

293
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not over the top. It's what it should be. Yeah,

294
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gratuitous for what this is. But yeah,

295
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: there are some I guess there's the A lot of

296
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: the sound is disturbing as well, and a lot of

297
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: these fights, and there's some All the weapons are sharp,

298
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: all the deaths of brutal, the injuries are even.

299
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: There are some injuries.

300
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: There's at least one arm remembering that's really tough, really tough.

301
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: And I do think what one of the critics said

302
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: about not letting your kids watch this, This to me

303
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: is stuff of nightmare. Like the creatures like no, but

304
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: when you see their faces it can haunt you. Like

305
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: this could keep you up at night, and certainly if

306
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: you're young and just seeing their faces. I again was

307
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: not scared because I just was able to rationalize it

308
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: and say, I'm not.

309
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: In a cave. These aren't things that are walking around

310
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: New York City, So.

311
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm kind of okay, Well, the l train you seeing that.

312
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: It is Halloween, like, we could see some of that.

313
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: But yes, if you don't like Gore, if you don't.

314
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: Like anything that's I mean, honestly, if you don't want

315
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: to be too scared, this isn't. It's intense and it's scary.

316
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: So you have to want both of those things, the

317
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: intensity and the fear.

318
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: There are no breaks in this movie. Once they go

319
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: in that cave, you just sit up. It's going to

320
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: be a ride until the absolute vary end.

321
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so in terms of what to pair it with,

322
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: so you think you should have to watch this, it

323
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: is better to watch with someone. Oh absolutely, I watched this.

324
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: I remember when I was on maternity leave, I watched

325
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: this and I watched The Extorcism of Emily Rose, and

326
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: both of those for very different reasons.

327
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: Literally, I regretted it.

328
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: I was I was in the woods by myself with

329
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: that my baby, and I think my mom. It was

330
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: like all girls, like it was literally an all female

331
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: cast in the house. It was really dumb. But so, yeah,

332
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: you should probably watch this with somebody. I would say

333
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: that would be fun. And yes, in the pitch black

334
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: in the dark at night, and look, I don't know,

335
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: I think it's so intense. I wouldn't eat a lot

336
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: like popcorn, keep it simple popcorn. I was like, this

337
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: is like the acid inducing type of movie, So you

338
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: want to keep those things just to a minimum.

339
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: So salty snacks, that's what I would say.

340
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: I cannot tell folks what not to eat. Yes, why

341
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: in God's name were we having medium late.

342
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: Terrible? We even said we have to admit what we

343
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: were watching when we read what we were eating while

344
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: we were rewatching it. And yes, medium rare filet mignon

345
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: is not something to pair.

346
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: With this movie. It was a big mistake. I totally

347
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: forgot about that.

348
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: I don't really think you should probably eat medium rare

349
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: steak with just about every single horror movie period. You

350
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: should just go ahead and do that ahead of time

351
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: and then keep to the light snack.

352
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, Where to watch this?

353
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: This is on Amazon Prime if you've got a subscription,

354
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: but we found it pretty easy to find. And then

355
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: the descent too is also there as well, I believe,

356
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: so you can just do one and then number two

357
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: right afterwards. All right, next up our number four this week?

358
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: How would you describe this one? How would you tease this?

359
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: This is another one of our all time favorites that

360
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: we both bonded over as well.

361
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: Yes, this is a sleeper and a shocker that it's

362
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: in our top five for a number of reasons, including

363
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: it's PG thirteen.

364
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: We were shocked you said this to me yesterday. Can

365
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: you believe this? Robes two of our top five are

366
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: PG thirteen something that you avoid at all costs, and

367
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: we had no idea.

368
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: But it does include perhaps our favorite horror movie actor

369
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: of all time, mister Justin Long. So looking forward to

370
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: telling you about number four tomorrow, but for now, hopefully

371
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: always appreciate you hanging with us. I hope you've got

372
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: some good out of these horror movies, but we got

373
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: some doozies for you this week, but always appreciate you listening.

374

375
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:29,680
