And then in the movie review, 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: we'll talk about the latest installment in the Michael Myers franchise. 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: Halloween ends, and in the trailer park there is a 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: creepy new Killer Dollar movie and I'm a sucker for 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: creepy Killer Dollar movie, so we'll talk about all that. 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: Shout out to the movie crew, thanks for being subscribed 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: in listening every single week. Let's talk movies. In a 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: before in a movie podcast. A man with so much 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking I MTV with 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: glasses from the Nashville Podcast Network. Movie Movie You Want. 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: Today's episode is simple. Is the movie overrated or is 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: the movie underrated? Horror Movie Edition? Before I get into this, 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: just because something is overrated does not mean that it 20 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: is bad. It is very possible to like a movie 21 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: but also know that it's a bit overrated. And some 22 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: of my favorite horror movies, I'll admit are overrated. And 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: some of these movies I build up a lot to 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: my friends, I even build up a lot to you guys, 25 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: and when you watched them, you think, well, I didn't 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: really live up to expectations. But I still think to 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: achieve a level of overrated, there has to be some passion. 28 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: There has to be something different about that movie that 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: even creates that kind of buzz, and then maybe it 30 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: wears off a little bit. But just because something is 31 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: overrated doesn't mean it's bad and underrated. It could just 32 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: be that not a lot of people have seen it, 33 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: maybe it didn't do so well at the box office, 34 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: or over time, you just realized that movies had a 35 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: bigger effect on you than you really considered at the time. 36 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: So overrated, underrated. We're kicking get off with Friday to 37 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: the thirteenth, the original one from nineteen eighty and this 38 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: movie is over rated. I am not sure how this 39 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: movie specifically fawned an entire franchise. I think when you 40 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: put all of the Marquee horror movies, you know, all 41 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: the big names, all the most recognizable serial Killers. Jason 42 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: is always up there, and I like the idea of 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: Jason Moore than I like any single Friday to the 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: Thirteenth movie. I just think they're pretty boring, pretty drawn out. 45 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: There are so many of them, and they get more 46 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: and more ridiculous as they go along. So when it 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: comes to anybody telling me to sit down and watch 48 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: a Friday the Thirteenth movie, I'm not gonna do it. 49 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: It is overrated. How about underrated? A movie from twifteen 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: that not a lot of people talk about or maybe 51 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: have even heard of is a movie called green Room. 52 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: It is a movie about a punk rock band who 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: was forced to fight for survival after witnessing a murder 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: at a neo Nazi skinhead bar. What a tagline for 55 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: this movie. It stars Patrick Stewart as one of the 56 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: bad guys in the movie, Anton yell Chin, who this 57 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: was one of his last movies before he died. And 58 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: I watched this movie and I think this is truly 59 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: one of the most accurate representations of the indie punk 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: rock scene and an indie punk rock band that I've 61 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: ever seen in a movie. And then I love that 62 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: it's not really your typical horror movie because all the 63 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: events that go on in this movie are all things 64 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: that could really happen. It's this band who witnesses this 65 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: murder and then find themselves in a situation where they 66 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: have to get out of this club, but the people 67 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: who own the club do not want them to leave. 68 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: But it leads to a very brutal battle between the two. 69 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: A lot of blood, a lot of violence, a lot 70 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: of harsh skills that will really make your stomach churn, 71 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: and it's a lot of action from the start to 72 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: the finish in a movie I think does not get 73 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: the credit it deserves. So underrated is Green Room from fifteen. 74 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen this one and you're a fan 75 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: of punk rock or want to see Patrick Stewart be 76 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: the bad guy, I highly recommend this one. From Overrated 77 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: is The Blair Witch Project. I think we all know 78 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: this story. It's these film students who vanished after traveling 79 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: into this forest. They're trying to film a documentary about 80 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,119 Speaker 1: the local legend, the Blair Which and this entire movie 81 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: is just the footage that was found. And this movie 82 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: is very creepy. But the reason I think it is 83 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: overrated is a lot of the reason that this movie 84 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: was scary. A lot of the reason that this movie 85 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: was creepy was because of the marketing. It was pitched 86 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: and presented as something that actually happened and that was 87 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: groundbreaking at the time. That was enough to drive us 88 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: to the theater and talk about it. And when you 89 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: watch it with that kind of mindset, it is a 90 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: lot more scary, and it really sparked the fake found 91 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: footage genre. But I just think going act on this 92 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: movie and watching it now in two it doesn't really 93 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: hold up. It's not really that scary, and it just 94 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: kind of feels like you're watching an old home movie. 95 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: So it's not really one that I would recommend now. 96 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: I love it for what it did, but in the 97 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, I think it is overrated. On 98 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: the contrary of that, underrated. And yes, the two movies 99 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: are fairly similar, and Paranormal Activity wouldn't have even existed 100 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: without the Blair Witch Project. But in two thousand and 101 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: seven when this movie came out, it really kind of 102 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: reinvented and recapture the original energy that the Blair Witch 103 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: Project did, and it was able to make a whole 104 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: lot of money, and it surpassed Blair, which as one 105 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: of the most profitable movies of all time. It is 106 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: now the most profitable movie ever made. The movie cost 107 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: only fifteen thousand dollars to make. That's it. That's an 108 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: incredible feat in itself to make something that gets so 109 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: much success at the box office for fifth thousand dollars. 110 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: It still holds the record as the most profitable movie 111 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: of all time, making a hundred and ninety three million 112 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: dollars worldwide. That is an incredible return on that investment. 113 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: And unlike the Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity spawned an 114 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: entire franchise. There are a lot of sequels, some of 115 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: them better than others, but nothing will really recapture what 116 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: the first one did. So I just think it doesn't 117 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: get enough credit on how cheap that movie was made 118 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: and how much that came from it. So I'm saying 119 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: it's an underrated movie. Up next and overrated. The Silence 120 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: of the Lambs from This is a movie that I 121 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: remember watching for the first time and thinking when does 122 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: it get scary? And I think the reason this movie 123 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: stays around so much and the reason it has some 124 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: longevity is because of how well it did with the 125 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: critics how well it did at the Oscars, and even 126 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: though it is the only horror film ever to win 127 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: Best Picture, I think that just adds to my case 128 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: of it being overrated. I don't even really consider this 129 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: movie a horror movie ever, because it didn't really scare me. 130 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Is the acting good, Yes, Jodie Foster and Anthony Hompkins 131 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: amazing in this movie, But it's not scary, So don't 132 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: give me any of that. Get it out of my face. 133 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: Silence of the Lambs overrated. Over on the underrated side 134 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: from two thousand and one. Jeepers Creepers, I think is 135 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,119 Speaker 1: an underrated horror movie. It's about a brother and sister 136 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: driving home. They're out on the countryside and this really 137 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: creepy truck starts pulling up behind them, and then they 138 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: later discover that he is this weird flesh eating creature 139 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: and he is out to eat anything and everything around him. 140 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: I really loved horror movies in the two thousands. I 141 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: think they were very ambitious, and I think that there 142 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: were so many of them that movies like Jeepers Creepers 143 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: get left out of the discussion. When we're talking about 144 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: some of the bed movies to watch around Halloween time. 145 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: This movie is a pretty simple premise, but I love 146 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: the villain in this I love Justin Long in this movie. 147 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: I love the dynamic of brother and sister trying to 148 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: save each other. And I always felt like this movie 149 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: had some very serious, sinister undertones that I don't think 150 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: they get enough credit. This movie was massive when it 151 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: came out, and now a whole lot of people don't 152 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: really talk about it. So I'm saying Jeepers Creepers now 153 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: is underrated, overrated from one of the best movies according 154 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: to so many people, But I think Hereditary is overrated. 155 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: It's about this family who loses their daughter and then 156 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: all these creepy, disturbing things started happening in their life. 157 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: It feels like a fever dream when you watched this movie, 158 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: and I do give it some credit. The first time 159 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: I watched this, I did enjoy it. But this was 160 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: a movie that so many people hyped up to me, 161 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: saying it was their favorite horror movie of all time 162 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: when it came out in two eighteen, so there was 163 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: just no way that it was going to live up 164 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: to expectations that I still have that around me when 165 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: I even sit down to watch it now. Of is 166 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: it a great horror movie, yes, but is it one 167 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: of the best ones in the last five years. I 168 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: don't really think so. So saying that this movie is overrated, 169 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: I'll also give you another movie that, even though I 170 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: love it, I agree that Midsummer is probably an overrated 171 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: horror movie. And I am guilty of hyping that movie 172 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: up and it falling flat for a lot of people. 173 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: So if I say Hereditary is overrated, I'll also say 174 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: that one of my favorite horror movies, Midsummer, is actually 175 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: an overrated horror movie. So you get two for one there. 176 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: Underrated from is a movie called Don't Breathe. This is 177 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: another movie that wastes very little time to get going, 178 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: and I love that when it comes to a horror movie. 179 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: I feel like so many of modern day horror movies 180 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: those first twenty minutes are so utterly boring when they 181 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: try to set the stage. I love it when you 182 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: just get it into the action, you start pumping some 183 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: adrenaline immediately, maybe get a kill scene in the very 184 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: first scene or first couple of scenes. But that is 185 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: what I feel about Don't Breathe. It's about this group 186 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: of thieves. They are younger, probably mid twenties, and they 187 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: go and break into a blind man's house because they think, oh, 188 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: this blind man is helpless, we can rob him for 189 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: all of the fortune that he has. And then they 190 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,479 Speaker 1: find out that he is not as helpless as they 191 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: sought him out to be. And then it gets pretty 192 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: crazy as he is there defending his house and they 193 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: get stuck in his house and they try to navigate 194 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: it without him finding them. And I recently discovered how 195 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: to tell if a horror movie is really good if 196 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: you can watch it with no sound. Now, this movie 197 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: came on the other day at the gym and I 198 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: was on the stair machine and I watched probably the 199 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: last twenty minutes of this movie while doing that, and 200 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: there was no sound. But I still found this movie enjoyable, 201 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: and by watching without sound, I was still able to 202 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: see and understand what was going on. I still felt 203 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: the anxiety that I felt when I first watched this movie. 204 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: So I think that is the true test to a 205 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: horror movie, if you can turn off the sound and 206 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: each scene still makes sense, and each scene still has 207 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: some suspense, maybe a little bit scary in this case, 208 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: it's probably a little bit more suspense than it is 209 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: a straight up horror movie. But if that still range true, 210 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: you have a really great movie. Don't talk about the 211 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: sequel to this movie. That one wasn't as great, but 212 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: don't breathe from Underrated Overrated From the sixth Cents with 213 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: Bruce Willis. I know this movie spawned the hype around 214 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: m Night Shamalan, but I would still put this on 215 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: the lower end of the movies I like from him, 216 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: because this movie really doesn't get good until you figure 217 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: out the twist. The movie has been out over twenty years, 218 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: so um, I'm gonna spoil it. Don't feel bad about it. 219 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: But he was dead the entire time. The scariest thing 220 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: about this movie is that dude was dead the entire 221 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: time but still went to work. That was the real 222 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: tragedy here. So from the sixth Cents, it's just an 223 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: overrated movie. Underrated. The Invisible Man from this is a 224 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: movie that I felt would have had a little bit 225 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: more life to it if the entire world didn't shut 226 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: down just a couple of months after it came out. 227 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: I felt like this movie had a chance to make 228 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: a bigger impact after it came out on in theaters 229 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: and then went to streaming. But something in between this 230 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: movie coming out and the entire world shutting down. I 231 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: felt like people instantly forgot about it, and when it 232 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: was available on streaming, nobody was trying to watch a 233 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: movie like this. But the movie stars Elizabeth Moss, who 234 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: I think is great in this. I'm not the biggest 235 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: hands made tail fan, but really enjoyed her performance in this. 236 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: It's about her character and her relationship with her abusive X. 237 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: He ends up taking his own life, but she suspects 238 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: that his entire death was just a oaks and there 239 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: are all these coincidences that start occurring in her life. 240 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: She's trying to prove that he isn't dead, and she's 241 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: having to prove to people that she's being hunted by 242 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: somebody that no one can see. I think this is 243 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: definitely one of the best movies of the twenties so far, 244 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: and probably one that a lot of people miss. So 245 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: I'm going with The Invisible Man Underrated up next Overrated 246 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: from bird Box, and I'm a big fan of bird Box. 247 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: I love what it did for Netflix and creating really 248 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: their first viral hit. The movie that everybody watched around Christmas, 249 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: and we all talked about and enjoyed as a whole, 250 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: as an entire country. I felt like everybody watched this movie, 251 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: and that was the first time that happened with Netflix 252 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: that it wasn't a show that everybody was watching together. 253 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: I love Sandra Bullock. I really loved everything about this movie, 254 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: but it was also one that we were all watching 255 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: and experiencing at the same time and telling everybody to watch. 256 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: That built so much hype and expectation that I feel 257 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: like that's all we really remember about this movie. And 258 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: I think what makes it a little bit overrated is 259 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't have a whole lot of rewatchability. And that's 260 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: what I like in my horror movies. I like horror 261 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: movies that I can watch every single Halloween and still 262 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: have some enjoyability to it. But this one really doesn't 263 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: have that. You get a one and done. So I 264 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: think it served its purpose. It did what it did, 265 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: but now it's just kind of an overrated movie that 266 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: we all remember from eighteen So bird Box overrated. One 267 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: more movie I want to talk about, and I think 268 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: this may be the most underrated movie out of this 269 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: entire list. And it is from n and it is 270 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: called From Dust Till Dawn. Easily, let me say that again, 271 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: Easily the best vampire movie ever made. It starts George Clooney, 272 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino, Cheech Martin, Danny Trejo, Salmahiak, Juliette Lewis. That's 273 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: an incredible cast and it's also just one of my favorite, 274 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: if not my favorite, I'll just say this is my 275 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: favorite George Clooney movie. It's this and Up in the Air. 276 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: This is what I like him in. And it is 277 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: a horror movie about these two brothers played by George 278 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: Clooney and Quentin Tarantino. It's a movie about these two 279 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: criminal brothers going around the United States basically just bandits. 280 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: They raw people and then they hijacked this family's r 281 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: V and get them to smuggle them into Mexico, where 282 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: they go to meet up with another one of their 283 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: criminal buddies at this truck stop that they later find 284 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: out is really just populated by vampires, and then insanity ensues. 285 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: And I love it because the horror scenes in this 286 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: movie are also a lot of fun. It's kind of campy, 287 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: but the action is real and that's what makes this 288 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: movie one of my favorites, and I think it's very 289 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: easy to make a cheesy vampire movie. I think when 290 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: it comes to the Mount rushmore of just famous monsters, 291 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: vampires are often just kind of cheesy, the whole suck 292 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: your blood thing. I think Twilight connotation. When it comes 293 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: to vampires. Very few people have made a great vampire movie. 294 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: But without a doubt, From Dust Till Dawn is my favorite. 295 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: I think it's the best. I think it is underrated. 296 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for? 297 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: Go watch this one now? And that is overrated and 298 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: underrated Horror Movie Edition. And now, before we get into 299 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: the movie review, I promised you a very exclusive interview, 300 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: and this is a conversation I recorded with my mom, 301 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: who actually loves horror movies. And the thing about my mom, 302 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: she is from Mexico. She primarily speaks Spanish, and we 303 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: kind of have this hybrid way of speaking that for 304 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: the purpose of this interview, I only spoke in English, 305 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: so most of you could understand at least one side 306 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: of this conversation. But my mom here speaks mostly Spanish. 307 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: It's kind of a blend between the two, so you'll 308 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: hear it go back and forth. And that's just kind 309 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: of a switch we have in our brains, is Mexican 310 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: Americans to go back and forth between Spanish and English. 311 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: But my mom loves horror movies. It's her favorite genre. 312 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: And this is her and I talking about some recent 313 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: horror movies that she watched, and then I asked her 314 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: the question what is her favorite movie of all time? 315 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: And if you listen to this podcast for any amount 316 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: of time, you know that it is a comedy and 317 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: one that is often viewed as one of the worst 318 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler movies ever made.

It was 338 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: in a movie called The Conjuring. That one's pretty scary. 339 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: That one. I watched that one. I had nightmares. After that, 340 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: we watched maybe three or four movie we went to 341 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: we want to watch the Ero now. But you know 342 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: that was not scary. It wasn't. It was scary, but 343 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: not not not that bad like the movie is the 344 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: annabaka I don't know, my god, Yeah, it was scary. 345 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: No more scary movies.

I like when he goes to 353 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: I think they go to eat at a restaurant and 354 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: then they think he's his waiter. Yeah, he's walking around 355 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: and then you just starts taking orders, taking people of water.

We'll come back and talk 365 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: about Halloween and after this Horror Movie Month continues here 366 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: on the podcast, and about to get into a spoiler 367 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: free review of Halloween ends the final chapter out of 368 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: this entire franchise. I have so much to say about 369 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: this movie. I just want to get right into it. 370 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: So before we do that, here's just a little bit 371 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: of the Halloween Ends trailer. You pretend like you moved on, 372 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: but you're actually just obsessed with death. What are you 373 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: gonna do when Michael comes back for you? Because he 374 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: is coming, but this time something feels different. He's more dangerous. 375 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: So I will say that I love the Halloween franchise. 376 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: Michael Myers is my favorite character in any horror franchise. 377 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: I kind of feel now about Halloween how I do 378 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: about w W E Like I love wrestling as a kid, 379 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: but now it's a little bit more as the novelty. 380 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: And I love theeen Halloween movie. That was the highest 381 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: grossing Halloween movie of all time, and that movie really 382 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: set a new tone. It gave it a modern field, 383 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: but still like an ode to the classic. I left 384 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: the theater after watching that movie thinking, like, Michael Myers 385 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: is back. They have him right, I am down to 386 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: watch an entire trilogy. But then completely ruined that with 387 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: Halloween Kills. And they made Michael Myers basically like a 388 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: superhero who could brutally kill all these people, and they 389 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: went very hardcore, and they took the tone that they 390 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: had in Halloween and completely ruined that. They made the 391 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: people in the town dumb, They made the entire storyline 392 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: just so convoluted that I finished watching that movie and 393 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: had such low expectations going into Halloween. And that's kind 394 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: of where I was going into this movie, because they 395 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: just really ruined what they created right before that. So 396 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: I had low expectations. And that's where we start here 397 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: because this movie takes place four years after that last 398 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: encounter with Michael Myers Laurie Strode played by Jimmie Lee Curtis, 399 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: who is back in this She is living with her 400 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: granddaughter and trying to write a book, and since nobody 401 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: has seen Michael Meyer, she's truly trying to liberate herself 402 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: from everything associated with all the killings in the town. 403 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: You know, she lost her daughter and her granddaughter obviously 404 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: lost her mom, so they're just trying to live a 405 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: normal life. But then there's this new character who comes 406 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: into play. He's this young dude in his mid twenties 407 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: who when he was younger and in college, he was 408 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: babysitting this kid and was accused of murdering him. So 409 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: so you get introduced to him and all the things 410 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: he had to deal with and all the backlash she 411 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: had to deal with after being branded as this killer 412 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: who killed a kid, and it really kind of sours 413 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: his personality and makes him a little bit more dark 414 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: and twisted, just having to live with that reputation, even 415 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: having to encounter the parents of that kid later in life. 416 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: And then he gets introduced to Laurie Strode's granddaughter and 417 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: they form a relationship. And I will say that I 418 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: enjoyed the first half of this movie. I thought they 419 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: were really going somewhere. I liked his story, and they 420 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: were trying to kind of not go back on all 421 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: the same old things that they would do for a 422 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: Halloween movie. They were actually trying something new, and I 423 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: wanted to see if it was going to work. But 424 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: then the movie completely went off the rails and the 425 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: plot just starts to get all over the place where 426 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: for a movie about the ending of Halloween, Michael Myers 427 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: is barely even in this movie. He hasn't been seen 428 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: because he doesn't really come into the town he is hiding. 429 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: And a lot of what I didn't like about this 430 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: movie is the focus on Jamie Lee Curtis and I 431 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: love Jamie Lee Curtis. I think she is the reason 432 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: that these movies have been so successful, and her name 433 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: alone being in this movie and starring in this movie 434 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: is really why people care. She's the only one involved 435 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: in a horror franchise like this that has stayed consistent, 436 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: and that's why I think these movies continue to do 437 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: so well. I think that's why they are so important 438 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: to the fan base. That's really why I would even 439 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: give these movies a chance now, Like I didn't care 440 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: about the rob Zombie Halloween Wanted two back in the 441 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: two thousands, so it was getting her back that really 442 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: even meant something to this franchise. But I think the 443 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: focus on her character and struggling with dealing with Michael 444 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: being alive or not, and her kind of holding onto 445 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: that and people accusing her of things, I think that 446 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: just becomes more the focus on this movie and it 447 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: becomes less about Michael Myers and their final showdown. So 448 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: for a movie that was supposed to be the epic conclusion, 449 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: why didn't it have more Michael? That was probably my 450 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: biggest frustration with this movie, because definitely in Halloween Kills, 451 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 1: I found myself rooting for Michael Myers more because they 452 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: made everybody else in the town so dumb, they made 453 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: all the other characters so watered down and unlikable, that 454 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: he was the only one I was rooting for. I 455 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: wanted him to take everybody out and not die at 456 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: the very end. So that's how I left after Halloween 457 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: Kills and going into Halloween Ends, I just kind of 458 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: wanted to see him be the hero in this I 459 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: was rooting for him, And what this movie really should 460 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: have been called is kind of just like aging Michael Myers. 461 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: He's older, he's slower, he's not as smart. You see 462 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: him more as just a regular human in this movie. 463 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: And even in the trailer, Laurie Strode says something is different. 464 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: He is more dangerous now. He is not more dangerous 465 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: in this movie. He is the weakest he has ever been. 466 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: He doesn't really even get a whole lot of hills 467 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: in this movie, which is weird because they went from 468 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, and Halloween Kills. His count was so high. 469 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: In this movie, he was a little bit non existent. 470 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: He wasn't that force of Michael Myers. And if you're 471 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: going to make him basically a superhero in the movie 472 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: before this and just four years later he is so 473 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: worn out and on his last breath. Just what a 474 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: way for him to kind of go out in this 475 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: movie if it's supposed to be the end, which who knows. 476 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: They could make another one on this, kind of like 477 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: I did with H two ooh, where like he's finally dead, 478 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: it comes back later, Like they could keep doing these 479 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: movies forever. Especially with Jamie Lee Curtis being primarily the 480 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: focus in this movie. I could see them making a 481 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: standalone movie where Michael Myers isn't even because he really 482 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: wasn't in this movie. So I tried really hard to 483 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: turn my brain off and just enjoy this as much 484 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: as I could. I thought it was going to get there, 485 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: and then it just completely loses me. And I kind 486 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: of have to rate these movies a little bit different because, 487 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: like I said before, I see these more it's just 488 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: pure mindless entertainment at this point. So since the bar 489 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: was so low for me, I found myself rating it 490 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: a little bit higher. I found some parts of this 491 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: a little bit minorly enjoyable, but it's just so overdramatic 492 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: and drawn out, and it really doesn't leave you feeling satisfied. 493 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 1: And that was the biggest thing for me. If I'm 494 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: going to see a saga close, I want to feel like, 495 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, at least they at least wrapped it up 496 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: with a nice little bow, and I can move on 497 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: with my life. But I still feel like there's a 498 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: niche on my back that I want to scratch to 499 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: get that true. Michael Myers ending this movie was not 500 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: it for me, So I give it one point five 501 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: out of five pumpkins. I would say, if you're just 502 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: looking to finish out watching all the Halloween movies and 503 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 1: you have Peacock, watch it there. I feel like if 504 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: I would have seen this in theaters, I would have 505 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: hated it even more so maybe not the one you 506 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: want to go watch in theaters. Right now, I'd still 507 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: probably say go with mile and it does not crack 508 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: my top five Halloween movies. Obviously. If I had to 509 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: make my top five, I would easily go number one 510 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: Halloween the original one, and number two I would put 511 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: h two. Oh, I really feel like that should have 512 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: been the end of the entire franchise. At number three, 513 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: I would put Halloween two, which I thought was a 514 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 1: great sequel, and then I would put Halloween four and five. 515 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: After that, probably at six, I would put Halloween Fromen, 516 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: but Halloween Ends and Halloween Kills would be right there 517 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: towards the bottom. So there you go. There is your 518 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: Halloween finale. It's time to head down to movie Mike. 519 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: Let's talk about a new killer doll movie that's coming 520 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: out next year. It's called Megan. It is spelled M 521 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: three G A N and it's about this futuristic doll 522 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: that is supposed to be kind of a companion to kids. 523 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: And I feel like it's almost a modern day way 524 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: to remake Child's Play from back in the day. And 525 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of a sucker for a killer doll movies. 526 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: My love of it spawned whenever the first time I 527 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: watched Child's Play. I also love R. L. Stein's Night 528 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: of the Living Dummy. That was the scariest book to 529 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: me as a kid. I love that episode of goose Bumps. 530 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: But even movies like The Boy the Conjuring, there's always 531 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: a creepy doll, and there's just something about a doll 532 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: coming to life that makes for a great horror movie, 533 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: and even as an adult, just kind of creeps you out, 534 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: like creepy dolls are just freaky. If you ever go 535 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: into an antique store and see some old, weird looking 536 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: dolls and these dead eyes that are just looking at you, 537 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: it just makes you feel a little bit uneasy. And 538 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: to see when come to life in a movie that 539 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: makes for a great one. But before we talk more 540 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: about Megan, here's just a little bit of the trailer. 541 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: And dreamed of this perfect toy that would protect a 542 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: kid from ever feeling lonely or sad. This is Megan 543 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: hand Regan. I'm Katie. It's nice to meet Katie. Do 544 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: you want to hang out? She's the happiest she's been 545 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: since her parents died. Eat the topics, Katie. Research shows 546 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: if he forced a child to eat vegetables, they'll be 547 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: less likely to choose those foods as adults. Is that so, yes, experts, 548 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: I can turn off. I thought we were having a conversation. 549 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: So Megan is this doll who has this artificial intelligence 550 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: that they're able to program it to be a child's companion, 551 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: and that would make it the parents greatest ally, because 552 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: you can just buy this doll and your kid never 553 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: has to be lonely again. And the kid in this 554 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: movie is her eight year old niece who just lost 555 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: her parents, so she designed this doll to be her friend. 556 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: It comes to life, it can listen, it can watch, 557 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: it can learn. It is her teacher, it is her playmate, 558 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: it is her protector, and she become attached to this 559 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: doll and makes her the happiest she's been since the 560 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: incident with her parents passing away. But then by the 561 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: looks of this trailer, Megan starts to use her artificial 562 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: intelligence to think beyond her capabilities. And I think this 563 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: is kind of the fear we have with a I 564 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: in the real world of how smart will a robot get? 565 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: Will a robot revolt? Will they start not listening to us? 566 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: And that's what you hear in that clip. And this 567 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: movie is from director James One, who also did Saw 568 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: Insidious and The Conjuring, So James One is definitely no 569 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: stranger to horror. He's also a producer on The Black 570 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: Phone and The Visible Man, which I talked about earlier, 571 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: so he really kind of has the pulse of the 572 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: new face of what terror movies are. And I think 573 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: the fact that James One is attached to this movie 574 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: has definitely my curiosity and probably a movie I otherwise 575 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: would have had a little bit of disregard for but 576 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: it actually does look pretty freaky. Also in that trade 577 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: or it shows her get more and more sinister. There's 578 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: a scene where she's running, and I think there will 579 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: be a very fine line between this movie because some 580 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: of the scenes do you look borderline cheesy and with 581 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: any doll movie, even looking back on the original Child's play, 582 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: whenever they run, it just looks kind of funny. But 583 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: I think if the movie is actually able to make 584 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: this doll believable and make those scenes seem a little 585 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: less cheesy and a little bit more intense, I think 586 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: this movie has some promise. It also concerns me a 587 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: little bit that it does give away kind of a lot. 588 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: You learn a lot about the plot throughout this trailer, 589 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: so I'm worried that it gives away too much. Even 590 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: some of the kill scenes in this already seen in 591 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: the trailer, and it's one that you can probably guess 592 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: how it ends. So I think this movie will have 593 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: to be a pretty fun ride to make it something 594 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: worth watching. But that is coming out on January. I 595 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: also just love a good horror movie to kick off 596 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: the year, so maybe it'll be making this links edition 597 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: of Movie Laws, and that's gonna do it for another 598 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: episode here of the podcast.
