1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Hey, the folks, it's Tuesday, December twenty third. Time to

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: get the family around the TV and watch Miracle on

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: thirty fourth Street, or maybe it's a wonderful life. Don't

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: come to our house because you're gonna see Crampus And

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and Teacher.

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: Do people find that strange? I suppose I think you

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: would recommend a not just a horror movie, but specifically,

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a Christmas.

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Horror movie, a holiday themed horror movie.

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: And if you all haven't checked it out, if you

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: just look that up on Google or Rotten Tomatoes, you

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 3: will see dozens and dozens and dozens of gory, scary movies,

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: all themed for Christmas.

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: What does that say about one who chooses this type

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: of entertainment.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: I guess it might say that we're looking for a

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: thrill along with the fireplace and the presence wrapped the tree,

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: looking for a little thrill.

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that's fair. We want something that I guess messes

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: up that norm, that perfect holiday package. Right, Sometimes we

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: know how Christmas movie is gonna go, yes.

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: And sometimes it can make us feel bad about our

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: own lives. Whereas if I watch crampis my life's looking

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: pretty day good.

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: Some folks, we decided we love you all know we

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: love our horror movies around here, So we decided we

27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: give you a few recommendations. Now tread lightly here. I

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: don't know what you probably shouldn't introduce these to a

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: mixed craft. You should know this group pretty well before

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: you put this movie on any movies on.

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 3: Yes, we watch these with our daughters because I actually

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: think I raised my daughters to enjoy, Like I tried

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: to just give them enough of a sample and then

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: got them on board so that we've not created a tradition.

35
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: By the way, we're doing it again this year, but.

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: On Christmas Day, after we open our presence and eat

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: our turkey, we all go to the movie to watch

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: a horror movie. So last year it was Nows Faratu,

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: and this year it is Anaconda.

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: So is that that's horror comedy? Probably right?

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: Yes, it's horror light okay, yeah, but it still counts.

42
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: It still counts, all right.

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: So we thought we'd give you some recommendations. These are

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: things a little off the beaten path. And then there's

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: one classic we're going to give you as well that

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: you might not a lot of people might not consider

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: it a Christmas movie.

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Or a horror movie, but we're calling it both.

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Yes, so we'll do that, and I am gonna start

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mix up the list totally on you, Robes,

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna start the bottom because this was a

52
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: cool movie we found out of nowhere and it was

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: one of our favorite little delights. Now, the movie is

54
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: There's Something in the Barn. And you know, Robes, I

55
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: love when people just tell you what you're gonna get. Literally,

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: there's something at the bar.

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they weren't playing on words. There is actually something

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: in the barn. It's twenty twenty three rted R. It's

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: an hour and forty minutes, and here is the synopsis.

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: An American family fulfills their dream of moving back to

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: their roots after inheriting inheriting a remote cabin in the

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: mountains of Norway, but there's a surprise waiting for them,

63
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: and maybe say it's in the barn. But the funny

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: thing is when this first starts out, I thought, oh no,

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: it's going to be a foreign language film, and I look,

66
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: I've seen many amazing foreign language films, even foreign horror films.

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: We love, but sometimes you're not in the mood.

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: So I almost turned it off because it starts with

69
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: Norwegian just wanted to let you know, and then it

70
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: flips over to English completely. But the first time you're like, wait, no,

71
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: I'm not going to watch a Norwegian movie right now.

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: It's an American family, so it completely goes to English.

73
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: But this is just a fun, funny with just enough

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: gore and creepiness that just makes it a delight.

75
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: It is, and it's an unexpected delight. We didn't know

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: what we were going to get. Another synopsis here, I

77
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: can't remember where I saw this, and one of the

78
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: two different ones. But an American family inherits to home

79
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: in Norway to find their Christmas festivities, sparking murderous rage

80
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: in a small but vengeful entity. That's a good synopsis.

81
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: This is a bonkers movie.

82
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: Yes, you have to keep the barn known happy, and

83
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: if you don't keep the Barn known happy, well that's

84
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: what happens in this movie. That's where there's something in

85
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: the barn was born.

86
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: What do you think about the ritten Tomato scores here

87
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: eighty one percent for the critics, fifty one percent for

88
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: the audience.

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: That's pretty big prizing to me because I obviously I

90
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: agree with the critics. I think this is a I

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: think it's such a fun, smart, just scary enough kind

92
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 3: of movie.

93
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: You know what.

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: I think.

95
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: I didn't read the bad reviews by the audience, but

96
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 3: if I had to guess, they might have wanted it

97
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 3: to be scarier. They might have wanted it to be

98
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: more frightening and less funny. That would be the only

99
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: thing I could think. People might have had expectations that

100
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: it was going to be more one thing than the

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: other and were disappointed because it was a great film.

102
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: I thought it was.

103
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: It was equal on probably more funny than scary, but

104
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 3: it had enough of both.

105
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: See, I thought this might have been flipped. I thought

106
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: maybe the audience would like this better than the critics would.

107
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: This is such a surprise of a movie. It was

108
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: like you just get slapped by a movie. If you

109
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: can imagine doing that that you were expecting whoa wait

110
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: what and you don't even know what just happened to you.

111
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: It's that kind of a freaky fun movie. And it

112
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: has the whole climax at the end the scene. It

113
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: is a blast of a movie. Now here's The critic

114
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: consensus about it says, the movie unwraps a wildly entertaining

115
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: holiday rampage filled with witty jokes, creature, feature charm, and

116
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: eye popping practical effects. Now the audience dislikes for the

117
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: most part, they just thought it was They couldn't get

118
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: on board with the premise.

119
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: Really, that's so interesting.

120
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't very deep. Some people DECI, yeah.

121
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be.

122
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: And honestly, if I'm watching a holiday horror flick, I

123
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: really don't want to think too much. I've already announced

124
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: that by choosing that genre.

125
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's weird that they had access to the same

126
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: synopsis we did and came out of it.

127
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 2: What was done?

128
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

129
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

130
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: Well, right now it's streaming on AMC Plus and on Stars,

131
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 3: so it should be readily available.

132
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: All right, the next movie on our list here, This

133
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: might be a tough one for some people. It's called

134
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: Better Watch Out. Great great title from twenty seventeen, But bro,

135
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: this is once we get to the synopsis here, I

136
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: think you know what I need to ask you this.

137
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Do people need to be told ahead of time? Or

138
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: are we ruining it by telling what the main plot

139
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: there is.

140
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's oh wow, there might be a bit of yeah,

141
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think at some point.

142
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: All right, we'll just read the synopsis.

143
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair, all right.

144
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: This is Ashley travels to the suburban home of the

145
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: Learners to babysit their twelve year old son Luke at

146
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: Christmas time. She must soon defend herself and the young

147
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: boy when unwelcome intruders announce their arrival.

148
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: So we cannot give it.

149
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Away, but check out the second synopsis.

150
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's okay. Here's the second synopsis. On

151
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: a quiet suburban street, a babysitter must defend a twelve

152
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: year old boy from intruders, only to discover it's far

153
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: from a normal home invasion.

154
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: That works, Okay, we don't give an a thinking. So

155
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: the twist, at least on this one. What a lot

156
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: of people in the audience had a problem with is

157
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: the idea of what the twist ends up being.

158
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: That was my issue.

159
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: They had a hard time stomaching what the twist was,

160
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: which wasn't something you found out at the end, You

161
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: found out early and it is the main theme of

162
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: the movie. Yes, and a lot of people said, this

163
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: is not believable.

164
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: So if you go, I would just say it's a

165
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: delightfully fun, entertaining movie. If you already say okay, there's

166
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: going to be something that is exceptionally improbable, and then

167
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: just lean into the absurdity of it, and if you

168
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: can laugh with it and not be judging it, like

169
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: come on, that would never happen. So if you start

170
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: saying that, then you don't know how to enjoy a

171
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: horror movie, because most horror movies have at least three

172
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: of those moments we're like, come on, that would never happen.

173
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: And that's usually when either someone reminds me like that's

174
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: because it's a movie and it's not real life. So anyway,

175
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: if you can suspend that judgment for what they need

176
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: you to accept in order for the movie to be entertaining,

177
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: you just go into it saying I will accept what

178
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 3: they get with you.

179
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: I love watching this movie. It was fun as ridiculous

180
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: as it was, but yeah, it's it's it's lunacy, but

181
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: it was fun to watch. And I think the young lady,

182
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, she's has a lot of credits to

183
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: her name, Olivia de Jong. Maybe it's your name, but

184
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: she plays Priscilla opposite what's his name, Airon right.

185
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: I can't remember his name. Yes, I'm never gonna come

186
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: up with it, but yeah.

187
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: She had that role. She has a couple of good credits, yes,

188
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: very very solid. And the Montgomery there, I don't know

189
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: his first name either, but docker doctor Montgo Montgomery. He's

190
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: the guy that plays Billy and Stranger Things. Oh.

191
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: Yes, of course he's great in it.

192
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: Yes, he has a small but very important and fun

193
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: and memorable role. But the movie feels twisted in a

194
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: lot of ways, like it's it's like that's sick.

195
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, well the audience dislikes the twist and it's twisted,

196
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: so they didn't.

197
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: Like either one of those.

198
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

199
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: The Rotten Tomato score eighty nine percent, audience sixty three percent.

200
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm shocked.

201
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: That's a big disparity as well. The critics consensus, carried

202
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: by its charismatic young cast, Better Watch Out is an

203
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 3: adorably sinister holiday horror film.

204
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: That's a really good way to put it, adorably sinister.

205
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: Adorably sinister holiday horror film.

206
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: They beat us in the description that is actually exactly

207
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Leddy is now the one I mentioned off the top

208
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: here folks, Crampis. I think everybody gets the idea. Everybody

209
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: knows who Crampus is at this point, right, But this

210
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: one's from twenty to fifteen, and I was surprised this

211
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: was not a rated R movie.

212
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: I am too.

213
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: I you know what though, I I did go see

214
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: this in the theaters when it came out, and I

215
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: did bring children with me, so that would make more

216
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: sense now.

217
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: But that's never a stop. No.

218
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: I've actually been shamed in the movie theater for bringing

219
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 3: my kids to some of the conjurings.

220
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: To this day, lady, if you're out there, please no,

221
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: she still talk to me, I do.

222
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: I said, please turn around, please turn around and stop speaking.

223
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: But yes, Crampis, I did bring children to this in

224
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, rated PG.

225
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: Thirteen.

226
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: It's an hour and thirty eight minutes. Yes, it's perfect

227
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 3: in that sweet spot. The synopsis is this, while the

228
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: holiday season represents the most magical time of year, ancient

229
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: European folklore warns of Crampis, a horror beasts who punishes

230
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: naughty children at Christmas time. When dysfunctional family squabbling causes

231
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: young Max to lose his festive spirit, it unleashes the

232
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: wrath of the fearsome demon as Crampis lays siege to

233
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 3: the Angle home Mom Tony Collette, who is so good

234
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: in this pop Adam Scott who he love. Sister Uh

235
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: and brother must band together to save one another from

236
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: a monstrous fate.

237
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: It's great.

238
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: The cast is great. I can't remember this guy's name,

239
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: the comedian in there, the the ball guy who's over

240
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: the top. Yeah, you know what, this is how people

241
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: will remember him. He was the sports anchor for Anchorman

242
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: and Anchorman.

243
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I can see.

244
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: Yes. He was Ron Burgundy's sports guy. It's that guy.

245
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: I didn't even put that two and two together.

246
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: I want his name, but he's like But it's a

247
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: fun cast and they are nailing it. I don't know

248
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: how PG thirteen they get away with. Still they create

249
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: some scares. But I didn't realize it was a PG

250
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: thirteen movie.

251
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't either.

252
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: And you know what, this Rotten Tomato score is pretty

253
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: low given the way we I really loved it. So

254
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 3: the critics gave it sixty seven percent, the audience gave

255
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: it fifty two percent, and it made for Hey, it

256
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: made forty two million dollars worldwide. So it did well, right,

257
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: that's pretty decent for a horror movie.

258
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, got Yeah, I didn't list the budget here, but yeah,

259
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: you can't imagine.

260
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't that big.

261
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: So the critics consensus, Crampis is gory, good fun for

262
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: fans of non traditional holiday horror, that's hilarious. Now we

263
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 3: have traditional and non traditional holiday horror with a fondness

264
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: for Joe Dante's B minus movie classics, even if it

265
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 3: doesn't have quite the savage bite its concept calls for.

266
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: So what are the audience not like about this film?

267
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, they came into this. I have here one quote

268
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: from folks saying, if you come into this movie with

269
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: a serious attitude, you will miss out on the demented

270
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: Christmas fund And I think that was the theme throughout.

271
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: That was an expectation of.

272
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: More, something scarier, scarier, or more believable if you will, like,

273
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 4: come on, folks, it's a family is hiding out from

274
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: a horned demon. Right, It's okay to take some liberties right.

275
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, And you know what, and they did have fun.

276
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: The cast had fun with it. It was comedic at times.

277
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: You know, you hear Crampis maybe people wanted that dark,

278
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: you know, Christmas time more where this was some evil entity.

279
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: They wanted more viciousness or something. But I thought it

280
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: was wonderfully done. I loved it.

281
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: We have one more to recommend, folks, but we're going

282
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: to recommend a Christmas horror movie that some people don't

283
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: even agree as a Christmas movie or a horror movie.

284
00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: What movie are we talking about? Stay here? Grimlins is next.

285
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: We continue here on Amy and TJ with some I

286
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: guess odd Christmas movie recommendations. It's weird. Somebody says to you, hey,

287
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: you gotta get Christmas movies you recommend and we throw

288
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: out Crampus. You think where people look at us like we're.

289
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: Great, Yes, I think better watch out.

290
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: We almost went with It's a Wonderful Knife, but we

291
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: decided not to so like, there's a lot of fun

292
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: names and twists on some of these movies, so it

293
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: would be slightly embarrassing and we'd probably be judged for suggesting.

294
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't. We have to ease y'all into this thing.

295
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: We didn't want to start with It's a Wonderful Knife,

296
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: but it has.

297
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: Yes, we love Justin Long.

298
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Justin Long is our he might be our favorite actor

299
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: of all time. Yes, but one more here do you

300
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: would you have before this debate, put Grimlins in the

301
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: realm of Christmas movie? No, okay, before this, would you

302
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: put it in the realm of horror movie? No? Damn?

303
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Where would you put it?

304
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: Like fantasy? A fantasy movie, a fantasy movie? Yeah? Maybe?

305
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: But then now that you say both of those things,

306
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: and I rewatched it, and I hadn't seen it in

307
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: twenty years probably, Plus I realized it actually is a

308
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: Christmas movie, and it is a horror movie.

309
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: And folks, this is one you can have fun with.

310
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: This is absolutely one you need to revisit. Maybe you

311
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: haven't seen it in a while. Came out in nineteen

312
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: eighty four, but Grimlins has some charm to it. It's cute,

313
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: it's even the evil is coming from such a small,

314
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: funny toy like package that for some reason, you still

315
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: think you could take them if you had to spike

316
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: ye right.

317
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: As a kid, I always thought of the blender.

318
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: It always stayed with me, the blender, the blender, the blender,

319
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 3: and I had forgotten about.

320
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: And then you're like, oh man, we used to talk

321
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: about that.

322
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: So, folks, this is a good one to revisit. Hour

323
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: and forty six minutes, good run time. But if you

324
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: don't remember, it's about a gadget salesman looking for a

325
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: special gift where his son finds one at a store

326
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: in China Town. The shopkeeper is reluctant to sell him

327
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: the mug why, but sells it to him with the

328
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: warning to never expose him to bright light or water,

329
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: or to feed him after midnight. All of this happens,

330
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: and the result is a gang of Grimlins that decide

331
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: to tear up the town on Christmas Eve.

332
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's Christmas Eve and it's great and it's

333
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: terror and I mean, you know, on a smaller scale,

334
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: but still nonetheless it's And you even said, I actually

335
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: remember Sabine just telling us that she her memory of

336
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: this movie was being Afraid. So yes, it's PG and

337
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: you have to know your kid whether or not they'll

338
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: be able to handle it. But it's funny you were

339
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: surprised that she said I remember being afraid.

340
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, because this is given the stuff she watches with us.

341
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: Now, it's hilarious.

342
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: This movie is nothing for her, but she hasn't really

343
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: watched it again. But yeah, I guess that's a heads

344
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: up that these things are scary critics to younger kids.

345
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 3: I actually think, though, as hardened horror movie watchers as

346
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: our girls are now, if we all sat them down

347
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve and we all watched Gremlins together, I bet

348
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: everybody would get a kick out of it, like everybody

349
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: would have fun.

350
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: Oh yes, it's a fun movie. And when she flies

351
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: out the window with the stairs what was her name again,

352
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: Polly Holiday? She passed this season? She did?

353
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: I mean that you absolutely mentioned the scene in Gremlins.

354
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: That was what you'll always remember. Rotten Tomato score eighty

355
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: six percent from the critics, seventy eight percent from the audience.

356
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 3: It made one hundred and fifty three thousand domestically million.

357
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: Oh wow, one hundred and fifty three million, that's what

358
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 3: I meant to say. One hundred and fifty three million,

359
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: six hundred and forty two thousand, one hundred eighty dollars domestically,

360
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: and the critics consensus.

361
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: Whether you choose to see it as a.

362
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: Statement on consumer culture or simply a special effects heavy

363
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: popcorn fleck flick, Gremlins is a minor classic.

364
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 2: That's funny.

365
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: Fine, fine, I'll buy all of that the audience. Again,

366
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: it was a pretty overwhelming positive, not a whole lot

367
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: of dislike, so I didn't find a theme necessarily in there.

368
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: You can see this thing on Disney Plus, Hulu, HBO Max.

369
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Now this makes me want to go watch it right now,

370
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: because I mean, come on, little Gizmo is so cute.

371
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: Gues Phoebe, it's so cute, they argue, and you know what,

372
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: it is worth rewatching. I would watch it again, even

373
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: though we already did last week. I'll do it again, all.

374
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Right, Well, folks, enjoy Christmas night. Don't be scared. Don't

375
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: be scared to recommend it.

376
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: A horror movie.

377
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: To mix things up at Christmas, I make this the

378
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: new tradition. Well for that, for Avery Robot, I'm TJ. Holmes.

379
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: We'll be talking to alls here. Take the bad t

380
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: thin
