00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: get to that review because I don't think as big

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: I was expecting. And then a ton of trailers came

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: let's get started in a world where everyone and their

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: mother has a podcast. One man stands to infiltrate the

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast.

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: a walking a MTV with glasses. From the Nashville Podcast

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Network Cases Movie Movie Podcast. I love Halloween, I love

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: scary movies. I love horror franchises. So today, continuing the

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: theme in October, I put together my mount Rushmore of

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: horror franchises. So these are four movies that have i'd

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: say stood the test of time, from the originals to

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: the remakes, to the reboots to everything in between. I think,

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: hands down, these are the top four franchises that if

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: I was putting together amount Rushmore and carving the big

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: iconic characters, putting their faces on display for everybody to see,

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: these are the movies I would put up there. So

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: a few things I considered when putting this together is one,

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: the amount of films they have to how much money

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: they made at the box office. Three, You've got to

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: consider the iconic look of these characters, because a lot

39
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: of what makes these movies great and why they are

40
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: so different is how they look. Literally, they are icons,

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: and you can go to the Halloween costume store. You

42
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: can get your mass, you can get your costume, and

43
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: you know exactly what those characters represent. And also that

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: these movies have really stood the test of time, and

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: that everybody is familiar with these Everybody knows who you

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: talk about when you mentioned these characters. And I know

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: the term iconic really gets thrown around so much like

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: everybody says everything is iconic. But I truly believe these

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: four that I have picked are iconic. You could put

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: up just their image, their face, and you know exactly

51
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: what movie it's connected to and what that movie is about.

52
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: So that's why I decided to call it Amount Rushmore

53
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: of horror four movie franchises. Let's get right into this

54
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: one at number one. I think it's no surprise my

55
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: favorite Halloween and scary movie of all time is Halloween.

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: I think it is the O G classic scary movie

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: and there are so many reasons why this franchise is

58
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: my favorite, and it all goes back to the original

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Night movie and what they were able to do and

60
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: completely change the genre. I think Halloween really set the

61
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: standard for what a scary movie could be and what

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: a franchise could go on to do. By creating such

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: an iconic character. Not the first scary movie, not the

64
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: first to do horror right, but it was the first

65
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: one that really gave filmmakers this template of, oh, I

66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: want to make a Halloween movie like that, I want

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: to make a scary movie and kind of take what

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: they already did. We're so successful at and without Halloween,

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have had any of these other big iconic

70
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: characters like that. Why I think that is is because

71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: there's something so simplistic about the first Halloween movie, and

72
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: it's everything from the plot of it happening in a

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: normal town that could be anybody's town who watches that movie,

74
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: and also just the simplicity of Michael Myers. He's just

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: this crazy, deranged dude who escapes and goes to terrorize

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: some babysitters. This could literally happen everywhere. So you have

77
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: the setting, and then you also have the iconic Michael Myers,

78
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: which he really kind of set that standard of Okay,

79
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make a scary movie, you gotta center

80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: around this character. You gotta give him a look, you

81
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: have to give him a little bit of a backstory,

82
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: and that's what they did. So well in this movie,

83
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: from the white mask that shows no emotion whatsoever, the

84
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: black jumpsuit, the black boots, and the big kitchen knife.

85
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: And then also what I did considering everybody I put

86
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: on this list is the amount of films from the

87
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: first Halloween movie. There have been eleven movies. With all

88
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: the reboots and the remakes, it's really just gone in

89
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: through all of these reincarnations of Michael Myers kind of

90
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: being more of a simplistic character, to them trying to

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: give him some backstory to him, to him just being

92
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: a brutal superhero apparently. And I just think after Halloween

93
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: came out, it changed what all scary movies like this

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: we're going to be a change with slasher movies were

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: going to be. But it was that beauty of the

96
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: first one that really kind of set the standard of

97
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: they were able to do this movie with only three

98
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars when everything else coming out at that

99
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: time was, you know, spending millions and millions of dollars

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: and is able to do it. It's basically an indie movie.

101
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: It was a film crew that was just out of

102
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: high school, really learning how to use this new camera

103
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: that came out at the time. You know, how they

104
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: were able to really get people in that movie as

105
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: viewers of like, Okay, you're walking along and experiencing this

106
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: as the characters in this movie was because of that

107
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: new technology at the time, and they were I think

108
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: the second movie to ever use this. So you know

109
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: those classic scenes of just like setting the stage, looking

110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: at the house or walking through the house and the

111
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: very opening scene that's all was never seen before. They

112
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: really kind of changed how you would watch a movie

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: and how you could experience suspense as a viewer. And

114
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: I think the great thing about John Carpent the original

115
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: director of the movie, it was what he didn't show

116
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: that made the movie so great. If you go back

117
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: and watch the original Halloween, there's not a whole lot

118
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: of blood in it. Yes he is stabbing people, slicing people,

119
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: strangling people, but some of the stuff is implied. And

120
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: there's a way that that movie makes you look one

121
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: way and then makes the action happen on the other way.

122
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: It's able to scare you by like Michael Myers just appearing.

123
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: It's not just stabbing in blood, which I think a

124
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: lot of other horror franchises went on to do. But

125
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: it was almost just a simplistic approach. It had just

126
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: this really indie movie feel to it that I think

127
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: everybody who experienced it at the time came out and

128
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: then even people like me who watched it as a

129
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: kid would see and be like, Oh, I could make that.

130
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I want to do that too. And it was from

131
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: the first one, and they made eleven movies of this

132
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: that I just think he is the George Washington on

133
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: the Mount Rushmore of horror. I think the best film

134
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: with is the ninety eight Halloween, but I think an

135
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: underrated one would be Halloween h two oh from I

136
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: think that one is the only movie since to kind

137
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: of capture that same energy and that same vibe as

138
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the first one, but put it into the nineties, which

139
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: at the time it seems so like more cutting edge

140
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: and so much more like it would be modern times.

141
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: But if you went back and watch that one now,

142
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I think it still holds up, but it still feels

143
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: very nineties. And I think the other major thing that

144
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: the franchise has going for it is the title of

145
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: the movie. It's not called Michael Myers, It's called Halloween.

146
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: So us knowing that, us seeing that we just think

147
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: to watch it every single Halloween. When the first one

148
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: came out, it was a really slow burn at the

149
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: box office to where it wasn't just a straight out hit.

150
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: It did all right the first month, did all right

151
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: the second month, but it was the ability that it

152
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: was connected to that holiday that the year after that

153
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: and the year after that they were able to put

154
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: it back in theaters because people still wanted to see it,

155
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: still wanted to experience it around Halloween. So that is

156
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: my George Washington to horror. Going with Halloween. Moving on

157
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: now to what would be Thomas Jefferson on Mount Rushmore

158
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: of horror, I'm going with Nightmare on Elm Street. There

159
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: are nine movies, without a doubt, the first one is

160
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: probably the best from but a very underrated one would

161
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: be Nightmare in Elm Street Three Dream Warriors. And what

162
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: Nightmare on Elm Street was able to do is it

163
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: came out, of course after Halloween, and you know in

164
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: the eighties everybody was still trying to capture what Halloween did.

165
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: You know, Okay, we should make our version. What what

166
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: was Craven was able to do with Nightmare on Elm

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: Street was take a simple plot and build it around

168
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: that people dying in their sleep, which came from an

169
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: actual news story that was happening of these people who

170
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: would monitor their sleep and whenever they would have nightmares,

171
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: they would log their nightmares, and there was this whole

172
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: story of people not waking up and dying in their sleep.

173
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: So he took that story, created a character that was

174
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: based on a bully when he was a kid named

175
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: Freddy Krueger, and like, okay, so what if there's somebody

176
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: killing you in your sleep? Which is a great premise,

177
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: especially back in the eighties. That's something that would terrorized everybody.

178
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's what great horror franchises do is

179
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: they take something that you can watch, but after you

180
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: turn that movie off, you're worried about it a little bit.

181
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: You're worried about, in this case, if you fall asleep,

182
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: what if that would happen to you? Or in Halloween's case,

183
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: what if you are home at night and an intruder

184
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: comes and tries to kill you or slash slashy with

185
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: a knife. I think that is what great horror movie

186
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: franchises did. And this one just really left a mark

187
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: on everybody who saw it, and it created another iconic

188
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: character of Freddy Krueger from the burned face, the old

189
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: creepy hat, but of course the striped sweater that everybody knows.

190
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: But I mean even another element that I didn't even

191
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: get to is the iconic knives for fingers. There's just

192
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: so many elements to the costume. And then you add

193
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: in Robert England who played him, who looked like the

194
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: perfect Freddie. They couldn't have cast a better person to

195
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: capture the look, but also the voice and the vibe

196
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: of how creepy Freddy was. And unlike I was talking

197
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: about and Halloween Now You'm Mare on Elm Street really

198
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: kind of ramped it up with the visual all out

199
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: blood and brutal death scenes to the point it kind

200
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: of messed with your mind. And I think the scene

201
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: that sticks with me from the very first one is

202
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: when Johnny Depp's death scene happens, sinks into the bed

203
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: and all the blood rushes from the bed, like there's

204
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: just so much blood and it's a little bit over

205
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: the top. And I think that's what Nightmare in Elm

206
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: Street kind of knew it was. Because they are playing

207
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: in this dream scenario, they were able to do these

208
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: things and did not come across as cheesy. But not

209
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: only that, I think what nightmar in Elm Street got

210
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: right was the protagonist in the movie and the original

211
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: one at being Nancy and this character who fights back

212
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: against Freddie and it's a strong female lead who's an

213
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: just a person, you know, getting chased and falling down.

214
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's also what Halloween kind of captured

215
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: is the writer on that was a female and was

216
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: able to create strong female characters, which wasn't really represented

217
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: in any kind of horror movie. Still doesn't, I feel like,

218
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: get represented the best. And along the same lines of Halloween,

219
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: Nightmare in Elm Street has been rebooted. They try to

220
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: make it darker, and there's just always a demand for

221
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: people to want to see a new Freddy Krueger movie.

222
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't think any of the remakes and reboots that

223
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: have come since the originals have really you know, been

224
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: up to par and created that same energy as the

225
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: first one. But it's still just so fun to watch

226
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: and it's one of the best franchises of all time

227
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: in a movie that I still watch and and I'm like,

228
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: how do they pull this off? Like how did they

229
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: think of this? Like what how sick and twisted do

230
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: you have to be to come up with some of

231
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: these dead scenes? And that is what is the best

232
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: part of the Nightmare on Elm Streets. You want to

233
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: know how they're gonna kill people. Is it gonna be

234
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: inside of a video game? Is it going to be

235
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: in a junkyard? There was just so much creativity in

236
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: the dead scenes and how creepy Freddy can appear. It's

237
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: such a great touch that no one else has really recreated.

238
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: And Freddy Krueger himself is almost bigger than the movies

239
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: of his humor, his one liners, and his just overall

240
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: creepiness that I had to put him on the Mount

241
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: Rushmore of Horror, taking the Thomas Jefferson spot, going with

242
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Nightmare on Elm Street, moving on now to the slot

243
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: with Theodore Roosevelt on the Mount Rushmore of Horror. It's

244
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: a movie that scared me as a kid for many reasons.

245
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: And we're going back to the whole idea of you

246
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: watching something in an afterward being worried that it's going

247
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: to happen in your real life, like this movie could

248
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: actually come true. And after I watched Child's Play, I

249
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: didn't want to see any kind of weird doll. I

250
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: was always creeped out by old dolls that had real lifelike,

251
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: realistic eyes or mouths. Those always freaked me out. And

252
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: I probably watched Child's Play way too young. I was

253
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: so scared after watching that I had to watch a

254
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: bunch of cartoons to kind of clean my palette and

255
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: not be afraid to go to sleep. And I think

256
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: for me, this was the original movie franchise that I

257
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: had to watch all the time. And I don't know

258
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: why I would do that to myself. There's just something

259
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: so scary about Chucky, a doll coming to life, who

260
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: this serial killer was able to put his body into.

261
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: And the thing about Child's Play has there have been

262
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: eight movies, and they've all been relatively good. I know

263
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: some of these other ones they drop off a little bit,

264
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: have some bad movies, but I think overall Child's Play

265
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: just has consistently good movies because you kind of know

266
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: what you're getting yourself into. When you watch a Child's

267
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Play movie, you have to kind of suspend yourself a

268
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: little bit from reality. And I think Chucky is just

269
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: such a great character because he is this doll coming

270
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: to life. And the stories around him are always relatively good.

271
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: In any kind of reincardnation, I think he is still

272
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: just consistently scary. I think, hands down the original one

273
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: from n is the best one, but Child's Play two

274
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: is right up there with being just as good. And

275
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: a rarity here is that Child's Play three with the

276
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: older Andy the Military School like it is a solid trilogy,

277
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: which is hard to do with horror. Usually by the

278
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: third movie, they kind of run out of ideas and

279
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: every nothing's really scary anymore because they're doing the same

280
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: thing over and over. But Child's Play has a solid trilogy.

281
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: And like all the other horror franchises, there's been reboots,

282
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: there's been sequels. You got the Seed of Chucky, Bride

283
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: of Chucky, which gets a little bit cheesier. But I

284
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: would say an underrated movie in the Child's Play franchise

285
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: is the version that came out with Aubrey Plaza as

286
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: the mom. And what we see with all these horror

287
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: franchises is when they revisit the original one, they kind

288
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: of try to keep that same essence of the first one.

289
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: They allude back to some of the things that happened

290
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: in the original one. It's kind of bringing us back

291
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: there to like, oh, you remember why you like this movie.

292
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: But I thought the version did a pretty good job

293
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: of that, while at the same time modernizing it, kind

294
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: of having its own style and not just trying to

295
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, we're doing the same movie exactly the

296
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: same way. Again. I know it didn't get that much

297
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: of attention when it came out, but I really like

298
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: that one. And even to this day, you don't have

299
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: a new movie this year, but on the Sci Fi

300
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Channel there is now a Chucky TV series, and I

301
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: think that wouldn't happen for any of these other horror

302
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: franchise because what you have in the Child's Play movies

303
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: is Chucky himself has a pretty big personality. He has

304
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: his own kind of storyline to where him talking throughout

305
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: an entire movie or doing things isn't completely weird, and

306
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: when he's on screen, he is as big a character

307
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: as all the other protagonists in the movie, and him

308
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: speaking the entire time kind of works. So I'm haven't

309
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: checked out that TV show yet, but I'm probably going

310
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: too soon. I'll admit from the trailer it looked a

311
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: little bit cheesy. So in the third slot as my

312
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: Theodore Roosevelt. I'm going with child to play. Moving on

313
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: now to the final slot in the Mount Rushmore of Horror,

314
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: the Abraham Lincoln slot. And I think this is where

315
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: I struggled with the most. And I'll go through some

316
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: of the ones I was considering and some of the

317
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: ones that were close to making this slot. And you

318
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: also just have to consider, you know the amount of

319
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: movies there are, the actual face you would carve in,

320
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: and just how recognizable all of these characters and these

321
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: movies are. One I was thinking about was Scream, which

322
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: was an overwhelming response of everybody online who I asked

323
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: when I put the poll out there for you guys

324
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: to to comment on what is your favorite. I was

325
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: kind of surprised that so many people love Scream, and

326
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: looking back on some of the movies I was considering

327
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: adding them one because of ghost Face, the character himself,

328
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: like I had a mask of ghost Face when I

329
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: was a kid. And I think about Scream, it's just

330
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: the classics slasher teen movie. But when that first one

331
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: came out, there were so many iconic things from that

332
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: movie that at I felt could have easily made this list.

333
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: No one would beat an Eye. But the reason I

334
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: didn't add it is there's not that many screen movies

335
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: compared to these other franchises. There's four, with the fifth

336
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: one coming out next year. I just think overall, the

337
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: body of work came out in the nineties, there's not

338
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: as much there to work with. So I didn't add Scream,

339
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: but it's an honorable mention. The other one I was

340
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: considering is a horror franchise that I feel is a

341
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: little bit underrated, probably because they're a little bit cheesy

342
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: and it's Leprecn. I think the first two lepri Con

343
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: movies are super great. After that they did get a

344
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: little bit ridiculous because how many plotlines can you make

345
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: with this little LEPrecon who is going around and killing people?

346
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: But the first one is a great horror movie. You've

347
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: got a young Jennifer Anderson, and I just think the

348
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: actual character of Leprecn is just a fun serial killer,

349
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: and the way he takes people out I find really entertaining.

350
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: But I just couldn't see his face next to all

351
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: these other characters here, so I didn't feel comfortable putting

352
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: him in my Mount Rushmore. The other one I was

353
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: considering was Saw the thing about Saw is there are

354
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: so many movies, there's eight of them, not including Spiral,

355
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: that they all kind of blend together. To me, I

356
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: can't really, aside from the first one, differentiate what happened

357
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: in which you saw a movie. While they have great

358
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: death scenes, and I think that kind of reignited the

359
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: horror genre for the time that it came out, and

360
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: it had that same kind of effect of we wondered

361
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: what we would do in that situation and if we

362
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: would survive. I just couldn't really see Jigsaw's face next

363
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: to all these other characters not as iconic, and all

364
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: those movies kind of feel like the same movie to

365
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: me over and over again. They're great, but they're just

366
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: not my favorite. I couldn't see them up there. And

367
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: then the other one I was I don't know, I

368
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: feel basic for liking these movies, but I really like

369
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: the paranormal activity movies. I think the found footage scares

370
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: are great. There's something about paranormal things and movies that

371
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: really get to me and really scare me. And they

372
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: freaked me out after watching them because I can't go

373
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: to sleep. Every sound I hear in the house. I

374
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: think there's a Ghost and those movies were able to

375
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: be made on such a low budget and went on

376
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: to be one of the biggest, like most profitable franchises.

377
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: But there's really nothing you could put up that's memorable

378
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: from that movie, Like there's no ghost that's in each

379
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: of them. It would just be like a blank slot

380
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: on the Mount Rushmore So, as much as I like

381
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: those movies, and I feel like I have to defend

382
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: myself for liking those movies, I couldn't justify that pick.

383
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: And the other one you're probably thinking, like, oh, how

384
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: could you not include this pick is Friday, And I

385
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: think Friday is a trash franchise. There's several reasons why.

386
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: First of all, when they made Friday Thirteenth, they were

387
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: basically saying, hey, let's just rip off Halloween, like that

388
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: is all Friday the thirteenth is. To me, it's a

389
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: Halloween rip off except you name him Jason and he

390
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: has a hockey mask instead. And there's just nothing that

391
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: I feel is super original about those movies. The style

392
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: of the Way to Kill People, it's just a straight

393
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: up slasher movie. The backstory of Camp Crystal Lake I

394
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: find uninspiring, and there's nothing about Jason himself. That really

395
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: sticks out to me. He is really just a blank canvas,

396
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: has zero personality because even though he is just a

397
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: guy in a mask, I feel like Michael Myers actually

398
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: has a personality. Why Jason, There's nothing about him, There's

399
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: no backstory there that I'm really curious to find out

400
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: more about. As I'm watching those movies, He's just killing

401
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: basically a bunch of horny teenagers. And I think if

402
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't for that hockey mask, those movies wouldn't have

403
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: had the same kind of impact they had. Like that's

404
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: really it. He has a hockey mask, and you associate

405
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: it with Friday to their Teeth, which when it comes

406
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: on the calendar you probably think about those movies. Other

407
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: than that, there's nothing about those movies that I feel

408
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: as iconic. Just came out at a time where it

409
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: was a big movie, but I just feel like it's trash.

410
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: It's not at the time, not worth a Mountain rushmore

411
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: because of Jason. So the movie I decided on, I

412
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: feel it maybe a little bit controversial given what I

413
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 1: just said about Friday the thirteenth. What I think is

414
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: the better, more iconic character has six movies in the franchise,

415
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: all which are solid installments. The first one came out

416
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: back in the seventies and nineteen seventy four, and when

417
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: this movie came out, it wasn't your average serial killer movie,

418
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: wasn't your average slasher movie because the guy's name was

419
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: leather Face and he had a chainsaw. I love the

420
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: Texas Chainsaw movies, and it's because of leather Face. He

421
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: is this tormented person and there's just something on a

422
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: deeper level that I identify with leather Face, and throughout

423
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: the franchise you kind of feel for him a little bit,

424
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: coming from this really messed up family, being this just

425
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: weird character, and there's just something so hardcore about his

426
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: weapon of choice of killing people with the chainsaw. And

427
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: that first one is just so sick and twisted, from

428
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: the opening scene to the final scene where it's just

429
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: this madman in a mask made out of another human skin,

430
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: basically in a fit of rage with this chainsaw in

431
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: my head. That is one of the most iconic horror

432
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: scenes of all time, and was every installment of Texas Chainsaw.

433
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: I thought they really kept that energy and that style

434
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: of leather Face. So I think the first one from

435
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four is the best in the entire franchise,

436
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: But one of my favorites is the one that came

437
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: out in two thousand three with Jessica Biel, which wasn't

438
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: kind of an ode to the original one, but since

439
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: it came out in the two thousand's, the technology was

440
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: a lot better with special effects and makeup, and it

441
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: just had this still kind of classic horror feel with

442
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: a modernized touch. They've remade it since, done different versions

443
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: of it, and for me, I think they're all still

444
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: great and what I look for in a horror movie

445
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: like this, I like horror movies that are a little

446
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: bit sick and twisted, and I think Texas Chainsaw really

447
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: gets that right. So if I was carving up another

448
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: face right there in the Abraham Lincoln slot, I would

449
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: give it to leather Face and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

450
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: So that is my amount rushmore of horror. You got

451
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: Halloween with Michael Myers, Nightmare on Neil Street with Freddy Krueger,

452
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: Child's Play with Chucky, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre with leather Face.

453
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: Let me know what would have made your top four.

454
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: Send me a tweet at Mike Destro, DM me on

455
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: Instagram or send me an email movie Mike d at

456
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. I'm gonna get into a spoiler free

457
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: movie review now. I've been talking about horror franchises all

458
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: episode long, and we just happen to have a new

459
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: one in the Halloween franchise. Halloween Kills, which is available

460
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: streaming on Peacock also in theaters, made about fy million

461
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: dollars over the weekend, which is pretty good opening for

462
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: a horror movie, for an R rated movie, and you

463
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: know how I feel about Halloween being my favorite horror franchise,

464
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: and I teased it at the beginning it a little

465
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: bit disappointed by this one. But before I get into

466
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: my full review, here's just a little bit of the trailer.

467
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: My grandmother set the fire. Ohe told you told me

468
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: what little Mars is alive, and then I couldn't have

469
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: survived that fire. So let's go back to when that

470
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: trailer came out. I, for one, I liked it. When

471
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: I talked about it first, I was like, I like

472
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: that they showed all the violence in it. I like

473
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: that they win hardcore and we're like, Okay, here's all

474
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: the blood in this movie. Straight up like, this is

475
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: what this movie is going to be. But then when

476
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: I watched this movie again, I won't give you any spoilers.

477
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: What they tried to do and what they tried to

478
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: recapture in Halloween Kills is the essence of the first one.

479
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: You have Lorie Strode back played by Jamie Lee Curtis,

480
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: and then you have some of the characters coming back

481
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: from the original movie, some of the characters coming back

482
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: from Halloween Too, And this one is a sequel from

483
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: the version, but in a way, it's kind of a

484
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: remake of Halloween Too. I feel like it's the same

485
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: kind of concept. So this one takes place right after version,

486
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: the same Halloween night, just rolling into the next day.

487
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: And in the trailer you see that they thought they

488
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: killed Michael Myers and the fire when they put the

489
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: house up into flames, but you find out he made

490
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: it through the flames and he killed the entire firefighter crew.

491
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: This is all in the trailer. So what the movie

492
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: is is Michael Myers coming back killing a bunch of people,

493
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: and essentially the town coming together to take down Michael Myers.

494
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: That's what this movie is. So it's essentially if you

495
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: remember Halloween to that original sequel, it's almost that exact

496
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: same movie. So there have been a lot of reincarnations

497
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: of Halloween before this one. There was the Rob Zombie remakes,

498
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: which kind of had that same style of being just

499
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: over the top, a little more brutal, a little more hardcore,

500
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: but they didn't really have any identity. And then when

501
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: the version came out, I actually really like that one.

502
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: I thought they were able to take what the original

503
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: one was and kind of modernize it and still kind

504
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: of keep that essence of Michael Myers. And the thing

505
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: that I realized that I love about Michael Myers while

506
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: watching Halloween Kills is the kind of simplistic approach of

507
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: the way he kills people, and that it's not super

508
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: hardcore and violent, and it's what you don't see sometimes

509
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: that makes it better. Now that one did have a

510
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: good amount of gore, a good amount of blood, good

511
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: amount of just straight up slashing, But what they went

512
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: for and Halloween Kills is that Michael Myers almost becomes

513
00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: this over the top villain with like almost the supernatural hours,

514
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: so he's like not human, which they kind of try

515
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: to justify with like yo, he's pure evil and that's

516
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: why you can't kill him. But what this movie gets

517
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: wrong is with all that blood and violence and you

518
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: see Michael Myers on screen so many times, it kind

519
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: of takes away the personality of him, Like I wouldn't

520
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: really see him doing this. I know he's known to

521
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: be a killer and known to kill people, but not

522
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: in the style and I didn't really like that. What

523
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: I did find myself liking is when they went back

524
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: to some flashbacks set in the seventies. They kind of

525
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: had this old school film look how the original ones did,

526
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: and I almost felt like they should have just made

527
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: it like that, like made a remake but still said

528
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: it in the seventies instead of continuing along with the

529
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: story and the movie. It starts out okay, but then

530
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: it just super drags in the middle and then tries

531
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: to ramp up into in the end of it, but

532
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: it gets to the point to where it's almost just

533
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: too cheesy. I wasn't into it. I wasn't buying this story.

534
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: I wasn't entertained by the death scenes, and I didn't

535
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: care about any of the characters living or dying. I

536
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: felt like the story was so weak and there was

537
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: nothing about this one that made it feel like it

538
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: was worthy of a sequel. What it actually felt like,

539
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: since they are making a trilogy, there will be one

540
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: more in this whole series of Halloween movies. It felt

541
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: like that Bridge movie, like they weren't giving you everything

542
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: in this one to the point to where they could

543
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: make the third one and be like, okay, Like I

544
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: hate it when movie franchises do that, like, Okay, make

545
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: this one great, because I'm here watching this one now,

546
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: this is the one I want to be entertained by.

547
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: If you don't get it right on this one, what's

548
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna make me want to watch the third one? So

549
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: I just felt like Halloween Kills lacked identity. It wanted

550
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: to represent what the first one was, but be like, oh, hey,

551
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna make it so much more violent and Michael

552
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: Myers is gonna kill people in the most brutal ways,

553
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make sense. I felt like Michael Myers

554
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: always had this kind of cadence to him, He had

555
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: this motive, and it wasn't here, like you have to

556
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: get his character just right and you have to give

557
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: him an identity, and this one didn't have that. And

558
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: by the end of the movie. I wasn't rooting for

559
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: the protagonists in this movie. I was rooting for Michael Myers.

560
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: I felt bad for him. I wanted him to take

561
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: over the entire screen and just be like, all right,

562
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: you guys are all dumb, this is cheesy, this is horrible.

563
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna waste everybody. That's what I wanted by

564
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: the end of this movie. So I'm, for one glad

565
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: that I didn't go see it in theaters. I watched

566
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: it on Peacock, which I have the free version, But

567
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: you pay the five bucks and you're able to watch

568
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: this one. There's no like weird commercials in between, aside

569
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: from when you first click play. So I think if

570
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: you're a big fan of the Halloween movies and you've

571
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: seen all the other ones, like me, you'd probably be

572
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: curious to watch this one and judge for yourself. But

573
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: just no, it's not that great. You're gonna feel disappointed

574
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: after watching it. Probably around the midpoint of the movie,

575
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna be ready for it to end. If I

576
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: went to see this in theaters, I probably would have

577
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: left really disappointed. But I am surprised that it is

578
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, doing pretty well at the box office. I

579
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: think that's given the time, given the month, given you know,

580
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: the legacy of the franchise, that people are going to

581
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: go see a new Halloween movie. I think the problem

582
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: is when the third one comes out, that people are

583
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: gonna be like, well, you know that last one wasn't

584
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 1: that great. I'm gonna wait on this one. So if

585
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: I had to write this movie, I would give it

586
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: two point five out of five jack O Lanterns, And

587
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: I think that's mainly due to the reason that I

588
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: love Michael Myers and I felt like he carried this movie.

589
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand his motives. I didn't really understand

590
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: why they made him this way. I think it's the

591
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: worst version of what this character is supposed to be,

592
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: what he's been in the past, and why In a way,

593
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: while I was watching it, I didn't feel like it

594
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: pertained to his character, Like he wouldn't be killing people

595
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: in this way. It's not how all the other movies

596
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: have approached it. It's still kind of entertaining to watch

597
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: somebody get a knife in the eye. So I think

598
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: that's why I gave it a two point five out

599
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: of five. Like, given that it's not what I was expecting. Overall,

600
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: I think it was a little bit just boring. When

601
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: you see somebody get taken out in an interesting way,

602
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: like to the point of where their eyes get you know,

603
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: sunken in because he's has so much pressure on their head,

604
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: that's still kind of entertaining to watch. So if you

605
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: just made like a quick cut of this movie of

606
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: all the death scenes, I think that would probably rank

607
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: higher for me. But having to watch the lame backstory here,

608
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: the fact that it all takes place at night, and

609
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: the details of the movie just kind of get washed out.

610
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: It just feels nothing really stands out from the movie

611
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: just wasn't my favorite. I won't go back and rewatch

612
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: this movie. I'm so invested in the Halloween franchise that

613
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: I'll end up watch seen the final one, but this

614
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: one left a bad taste in my mouth. So that's

615
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: what I think about Halloween Kills. I would say skip

616
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: it for now unless you already have Peacock and you

617
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: just want something in the Halloween theme to watch it

618
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: this year. Other than that, not worth your time. All right,

619
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: This is normally what I do movie news, but today

620
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing something a little bit different. I'm opening up

621
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: movie Mike's Trailer Park. And that's because over the last

622
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: week I've seen so many new movie trailers, and I'm

623
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna play these for you and also break down what

624
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: I think about each of these movies, and I'm gonna

625
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: play them for you in order of the one I'm

626
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: the most excited about and the one I'm least excited about.

627
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: So the first one that came out over the weekend

628
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: was the new trailer for The Batman, which I have

629
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: been so excited to see, this one with Robert Pattinson

630
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: as Batman. It was supposed to come out earlier this year,

631
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: actually on my birthday, but it's now been delayed till

632
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: March four. The plot of this movie, it's really kind

633
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: of unknown at this point from what I've seen online.

634
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: It's basically based on the comic book of like Batman's

635
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: first and second year of being Batman. He's dealing with

636
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: some corruption inside of Gotham City and then he discovers

637
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: this serial killer known and seen as the Riddler. It

638
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: looks like it's a little bit more of like less superhero,

639
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: more crime and mystery in a way. But man, this

640
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: trailer looks stunning. Here's just a little bit of the

641
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Batman trailer and dead Back. God, Oh my god, so

642
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: so what you're seeing this trailer if you go and

643
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: watch it. At that point right there, it's Penguin trying

644
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: to get away from Batman. There's this big explosion. He

645
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: thinks he destroyed him, but then from the explosion you

646
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: see the Batmobile coming out. A lot of things I'm

647
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: excited about after watching this trailer. One the most, The

648
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: thing that kind of stands up the most for me

649
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: is how good this movie looks. It looks so cinematic

650
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: and so well done on a different level than The

651
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: Dark Knight. The production on this just looks so good

652
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: that it can't be a bad movie. And that excites

653
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: me because it's going to get compared to The Dark

654
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: Knight no matter what it's taking the you know, realistic,

655
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: darker approach, probably going a little bit harder on that

656
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: from what I've seen in this trailer, but it's going

657
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: to get compared to that. But this movie already looks

658
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: like it has an identity of its own. The other

659
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: thing I'm excited about is all the characters in this

660
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: look amazing, and I love that they have all these

661
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: villains you got the Penguin, the Riddler, you got Catwoman

662
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: in there. And the third thing is how convincing Robert

663
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: Pattinson looks. I think he's an under rated actor, and

664
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: when everybody you know heard he was cast as the Batman,

665
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: people kind of questioned it. But I see him, I

666
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: hear his Batman voice. I think he looks really convincing.

667
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: I also think the bat suit looks awesome, so already

668
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: I love the overall vibe and feel of this movie.

669
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: It comes out on March four, two, and I can't

670
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: wait to see this one. The next one I'm excited about,

671
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: mainly because I've been seeing The Rock post so much

672
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: about it on Instagram, and it's a character I don't

673
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: really know a whole lot about. But it is a

674
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: spinoff of d C Shazam, which is a pretty solid

675
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: d C movie, but the movie is about the anti

676
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: hero Black Adam. It comes out on July two, starring

677
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: The Rock. Here's just a little bit of that trailer,

678
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,959
Speaker 1: so really more of a teaser than a trailer, because

679
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: you just kind of see the Rock for the first

680
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: time as this character, and what you heard there is

681
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: him basically turning a guy into a Stone. You don't

682
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: really see a whole lot of like his face or

683
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: what the Rock is gonna actually like straight up just

684
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: look like it's a really big teaser. They came out

685
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: over the weekend, DC had their whole event, so they're

686
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: not giving away a whole lot about what the movie

687
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: is going to be about. But I think I'm more

688
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: just excited to see The Rock as an anti hero

689
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: and if it's anything like the Shazam movie, which I

690
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be as kind of funny and

691
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: comical as that movie, but I kind of like the

692
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: style that d C is going for. I think if

693
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: they get away from that whole Superman, their most recent

694
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: version of Batman, get away from kind of the Justice

695
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: League style, I think they have a shot to be

696
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: the new kind of go to comic book movies. They

697
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: have these great characters that we see, they're just haven't

698
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: been executed so well on the big screen. But I

699
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: think with this whole kind of series of movies they

700
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: have coming out, they have a really good shot. So

701
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see them to get into the anti

702
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: hero space with Black Adam. Next up in the trailer

703
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: park is a new movie starring Ethan Hank, called The

704
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: Black Phone. It comes out on February four. It's about

705
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: this child killer played by Ethan Hawk. He takes these

706
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: kids away into a soundproof basement and you see this

707
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: thirteen year old boy who is essentially able to receive

708
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: calls from this like old disconnected phone and talk to

709
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: this killer's past victims. Sounds pretty great. Here's just a

710
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: little bit of that trailer. I'll be home in the morning.

711
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: We're going I'm staying over at suseas tonight, snoop the fire,

712
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: the papers calling the grabber. You don't actually believe that

713
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: story to you because he can't hear you, and he

714
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: doesn't really take that same but he does. We'll really

715
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: stick out for me. From this trailer is the mask

716
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: that the guy wears played by Ethan Hawk. And just

717
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: the style of this movie. It has a really great

718
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: like mystery horror field to it doesn't feel like anything

719
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: over the top. I feel like this has the great

720
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: premise behind it, the great look to it, and with

721
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: Ethan Hawk as the main villain in this movie, I

722
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: wish this movie was coming out this year, Like I'm

723
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: so in the mode of watching horror movies. Right now.

724
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that this one's coming out on February four. Like,

725
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: if this movie came out right now, I think it

726
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: would be great, fantastic. It was the one that I

727
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: was like, man, I can't believe that doesn't come out

728
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: till next year. But hopefully that one will be worth

729
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: the wait. Next up in the trailer park is The

730
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: Flash that's coming out on November four, another DC Hero here.

731
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: They didn't really put out a full trailer, but they

732
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: kind of gave the first look of the Flash and

733
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: here's a little bit of that. Why do you want

734
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: to stake? I'd like to say this one, you change

735
00:38:42,680 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: the future and you change the past. Oh So, I

736
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: remember watching the Justice League, and aside from Wonder Woman,

737
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: I think the second best thing to come from that

738
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: movie was The Flash. And they brought back the same

739
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: actor to play the Flash. It looks like they're alluding

740
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: to Batman being in this movie. So I don't really

741
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: know what they're going to do with this one, but

742
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: I think the Flash is a fun character. I think

743
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: he brings a great life to that. I also think

744
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: younger kids are into the Flash from the c W show.

745
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: Next up in the Trailer Park is the new screen

746
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: movie Scream five. It's happening three attacks so far. Do

747
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: you have a gun? I'm Sydney Prescott. Of course I

748
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: have a gun. Something about this one just feels different.

749
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 1: So this one is taking place twenty five years after

750
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: the original. They're bringing back Naomi Campbell, bringing back more

751
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: of the original cast. You got new people behind the

752
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: ghost face mask, same lines along of the I'm killing teenagers.

753
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: But I think this is a perfect time for this

754
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: movie to come out. That will be released on January two.

755
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: I always like a solid horror movie in January. I

756
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: think this one is going to be it. And then

757
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: finally in the movie Mike's Trailer Park, we have Home

758
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: Sweet Home Alone, the reboot of Home Alone, coming to

759
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: Disney Plus on November twelve. Here's just a little bit

760
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: of this trailer, and I'll let you know what I

761
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: think the family left for their big vacation is that

762
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: everyone the cars are leaving now, but forgot one little thing. Mom, Dad, Uncle, Blake.

763
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: You don't even know I'm here. They don't even know

764
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm here. My mom and dad have going to Tokyo.

765
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm totally on all right, It's enough of that trailer,

766
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: so I was curious to see how they were going

767
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: to reboot this series, and basically they're modernizing the first

768
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: one and kind of doing the same thing again. But

769
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: this felt like a straight to VHS movie to me,

770
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: Like they didn't learn from Home Alone three, they didn't

771
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: learn from Home Alone four. It just is taking what

772
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: the original one was and doing this whole like, oh,

773
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: you remember the first one, here's just another random installment

774
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: of it. And what people don't get about the first

775
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: Home Alone is there was so much attention to detail

776
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: in that movie, from everything in the movie having a

777
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: Christmas feel, like the house, the wallpaper was red and green,

778
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: and there were just all these elements to give it

779
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: that feeling of Christmas. And this one just feels like

780
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: a slap together reboot has no identity, Like just from

781
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: seeing that they're trying to change a little bit by

782
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: changing where they go, changing that they're British, they changed

783
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: the plot up a little bit. This one's about this

784
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: married couple who tries to steal back some valuable heirloom

785
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: from this family, but the kid has left at home alone.

786
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: So I'm sure they'll be like some modernized technology of

787
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: like I don't know. He's like a ring cam that

788
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: the parents can see him. I just don't have anything

789
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: and good to say about this one. And it's a reboot,

790
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: a remake that I am just can't believe they're doing.

791
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: And I think this is why people get annoyed about reboots.

792
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: It's taking something we all know and love and ruining that.

793
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: So that is a trailer park a bunch of new

794
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: movies you can look forward to one at the end

795
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: of this year and the rest they are all coming

796
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: out in two But that is the episode for this week.

797
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: I do have to get in the listener shout out

798
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: of the week, and I'm going over to Twitter for

799
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: this one. It is from at Okay Barbie Doll a

800
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: k a. Barbie McGuire, who tweeted me about the new

801
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: Halloween movie. This is her review. She said, they absolutely

802
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: ruined the Halloween franchise. Michael Myers was the only scary

803
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 1: guy that freaked me out, but not anymore. Halloween Kills

804
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: was beyond bad. Hashtag so disappointed. And this is just

805
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: one of the tweets and the Instagram messages that I

806
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: got kind of agreeing with me, and I thought I

807
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: myself was crazy for feeling this way about this movie.

808
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: But I saw the overall reaction. What's kind of what

809
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: I had? Oh, I feel good knowing that other people

810
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: didn't enjoy it as much as they thought they were

811
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: going to. So unless you thought that was just me

812
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: feeling that way about Halloween, there's more and more reviews
