Speaker 2 (00:04):
Start.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I'm ready to party the Elvis Duran after party.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Only weekend not a better time to talk to our
friend Juju Green of course, goofy on all your socials. Juju,
what are we watching this weekend? I want you to
scare the fecal matter out of me.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
All right, So there's a bunch of movies that we
can watch. I got actually one movie before we get
to the scares, because it does release this weekend, gets
a lot of awards buzz, and honestly it might be
a big Halloween item next year anyway. Begonia starring in
a Stone directed by Yogo Slant Demos. Yes, that movie
comes out on literally on Halloween this weekend. It obviously
features in a Stone with a shaved head about two
(00:50):
conspiracy theorists who kidnapple a woman, a corporate woman, and
they think that she's an alien. But the movie doesn't
do you any favors. You have to pretty much watch
the twist and turns to figure out what's going to happen.
It has one of my favorite Emma Stone performances. Jesse
Plemmons is also in it. He's amazing, and it's just
it's one of my favorite movies of the year, like period,
it's it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Jesse Plemmons is one of those actors who's so good
at what he does that I never want to meet
him in real life because I believe that he's a
bad guy. He's always a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
He's the best bad guy.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Very convinced another Stone.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
What a great actor.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
He's been the best bad guy since he was the
Bully and like Mike with Bow Wow, Oh god.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I didn't even realize that was him.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yes, that was totally him. I have met him in
real life. He's actually a very very nice guy, super
sweet guy.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
He's an actor.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
We don't believe you. Just a great actor, all right,
all right, next up we got Okay, so we have
one re release, a new release that came out in theaters.
But I got to point out Sinners is doing a
re release in seventy millimeter in theaters this weekend for Halloween.
So if you miss Sinners and you missed like the
(01:57):
big format that everybody was like gushing about, definitely check
out centers in theaters at your nearest Imax theater. Trust me, guys,
it is a whole new experience like watching that movie.
Like it's already great when you're watching it at home,
but to get the sound, to get like the aspect
ratio changes, it's a whole new like vibe. So have
you got you guys have seen Centers.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I've seen it a bunch of times as my son's
favorite movie. Anytime someone's like, what should we watch, that's
the movie he says to watch.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, that is the correct answer. That correct. That is
the correct answer.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Every home in America an Imax theater every time. Okay,
could you buy us one? I don't think I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Asking for too much A sorry, all right, great, great,
great great great? We got HBO Max just put out
Weapons and Weapons is one of the again, one of
the best movies of the year. That's and it's literally
their number one movie on HBO Max right now. I
personally love Weapons. Another one of my top ten favorite
movies of the year. It's directed by Robert Edgards and
(02:54):
Zach Zach Craiger. Sorry, and it has so many twists
and turns in that damn thing. You have no idea
which way it's going to go. It's so creepy and
it features a bunch of scary children doing the nauto
run and I don't really mess with that.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
So and Aunt.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Gladys is gonna be one of the most popular Halloween
costumes this year. Gladys and Gladys from Weapons.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Is it for me to get my Aunt Gladys costume?
Ready to get?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
You will be a great Aunt Gladys. Oh my god,
we should do that.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I think there's an insulter and insult.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
No no, no, no no no a performer.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Okay, all right, yes, get the way, get the glasses
and the smear lipstick. I think you can do it, dude,
I'm good at at all. Right. This one actually just
released last Sunday, and I believe a new episode is
dropping today. It Welcome to Dary, which is the prequel
series to the IT movies that came out a couple
(03:46):
of years ago. I'm a big fan of the IT
movies and this one I saw the first episode. The
ending is insane. It's almost comparable to Game of Thrones
type stuff, like the way they said, oh, nobody's safe here,
and if you love it, you get a full I can't.
I think there's like ten episodes this season or something
like that. We're gonna get ten episodes, and it's it's
(04:08):
the show is pretty dope so far. It's it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You're a huge fan, right, Danielle.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh love those clowns. I hate clowns.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I'm not watching it.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Sorry, Well, here's a good thing. There's no clown in
the first episode. Penny Wise is kind of like lurking
in the shadows, but he's still really extra. There is
a demon baby though.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I can handle a demon baby. I love demon baby.
I just don't like clowns.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Were there you go? So I let him very least.
Check out the first episode. There's a very terrifying demon
baby in it that flies and does a bunch of
like creepy things. But if you're a fan of it,
it Welcome to Darry. It's a lot of buzz. The
internet's like really talking about it right now, and it's
a week to week thing. It's you. It's not like
one of those bingeable things. So if you want to
get in on the conversation and around the water cooler,
(04:52):
I think it Welcome to Darry is a really good
watch for sure. Okay, all right. Next one is a
new film on Netflix. This one is a zombie flick.
Raise your hand if you like zombie flicks. Here, I'm
a big zombie flick guy. This one is actually from
Indonesia and it's called The Elixir. And if you're looking
for like some some it's it's it's It's a pretty
(05:13):
straightforward zombie flick with a little twist. It's about a
man who tries to create an elixir to basically reverse
his aging, and then he basically sets off the zombie
apocalypse in this village in Indonesia, and it's pretty. It's
pretty balls to the wall. It's also kind of hilarious.
It almost like like balances on b movie, but it
(05:33):
still has like those like hallmarks that you would love
in a zombie flick. I was definitely like on the
edge of my seat, and these zombies are roofless, they're
the running kind. So I'm really I really felt this movie.
I had a lot of fun with it. The Elixir
is a really really great watch.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I saw the trailer and was like, nope, because it's
it's exactly what you said. The zombies are running and
they just have this very specific motion and movement that
freaks me out. And they're coming in mass zombies coming
are supposed to run.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
When they run, don't like limbs fall off and stuff
like you know you.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Would think, but they like honestly, they look like track stars,
just with a different type of running style, honestly, but yeah,
they do, and they do come in mass. There was
multiple scenes where, like, you know, the way it starts,
it maybe starts with like one or two zombies, and
as the movie goes on, you're like, where are these
zombies coming from? Like the infection spreads so much, and
(06:27):
that's also part of the fear, you know. So seriously,
it's it really like I watched it at like eleven
PM and I would just like laughing my butt off,
having a good time. It was. It was awesome, right, Okay,
And then I got a last movie for you guys.
This one is for like people who have kids. We
have a animated Halloween movie. I know, Gama del Toro
(06:48):
has his Frankenstein. We have the Bride movie coming out.
This one is an animated twist on the Frankenstein story.
It is simply called Stitchhead and it's about a little
Frankenstein kid who basically lives in his master's castle. And
the guy isn't named Frankenstein. His name is freak Finder,
which I think is hilarious. Man. He's tasked with protecting
(07:11):
the other creatures that his master creates. And it's a
very cute movie. It's very heartwarming. If you're about to
go see a movie before you go trick or treating
with the kids. I think this one is something that
you can do, like make a whole day out of it.
I pretty much enjoyed it. My daughter enjoyed it. And
it's coming out in theaters today. Actually, it's releasing in
theaters today.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Hey, so I'm gonna ask you this from time to time, Juju.
The countdown in my head, in my heart is on
for Frankenstein. When is Frankenstein coming out? This is I
hope I'm not ruining it for myself by anticipating it
so much.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yes, So Frankenstein releases on November seventh on Netflix. However,
it is in select theaters right now. It is, and
it is and Sele theaters like very select theaters. I'm
pretty sure you guys can catch it in New York somewhere.
You can find somewhere that's showing it. But I've seen
it and it is actually pretty good. I will say
(08:09):
that the movie is told in two halves without spoiling anything,
and I very much enjoyed the second half, which is
primarily about Frankenstein's monster, played by Jacob Elordi. I think
Jacob Elordi gives a amazing performance as the monster, and
that's where the movie's heart is. So I think you're
right to get excited about it. It is Giermo del
Toro right and doing a classic story, but I do
(08:30):
feel like it will take some time to kind of
get going. There's some things to appreciate in that first half,
but I do think it is another like Giamo del Toro,
enjoyable watch for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Oh my god, I can't wait November seventh on streaming,
but it's out in select theaters right now.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Franken, you forgot something very important the K pop demon
Hunter singer.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yes, you're right, You're right. I did forget about that one.
And also a big Halloween costume this year, either Hunters
or or you're one of the Saja boys, and I'm
a Saja boy. I knew you were. I could tell
you my daughter's were me, so I have to like
fill it out juju.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Now we can get on with the weekend Juju Green.
Of course I'll do a search for straw Heck Goofy
on your socials because he's everywhere in this podcast and
everything that has to come, and everything has to do
with movies and streaming and everything. We love it when
you're on with this, Juju. Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Thank you guys. Thank you for having me watch those
movies and we'll talk about it.

the twist and turns to figure out what's going to happen.
It has one of my favorite Emma Stone performances. Jesse
Plemmons is also in it. He's amazing, and it's just
it's one of my favorite movies of the year, like period,
it's it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Jesse Plemmons is one of those actors who's so good
at what he does that I never want to meet
him in real life because I believe that he's a
bad guy. He's always a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
He's the best bad guy.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Very convinced another Stone.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
What a great actor.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
He's been the best bad guy since he was the
Bully and like Mike with Bow Wow, Oh god.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I didn't even realize that was him.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yes, that was totally him. I have met him in
real life. He's actually a very very nice guy, super
sweet guy.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
He's an actor.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
We don't believe you. Just a great actor, all right,
all right, next up we got Okay, so we have
one re release, a new release that came out in theaters.
But I got to point out Sinners is doing a
re release in seventy millimeter in theaters this weekend for Halloween.
So if you miss Sinners and you missed like the
(01:57):
big format that everybody was like gushing about, definitely check
out centers in theaters at your nearest Imax theater. Trust me, guys,

but to get the sound, to get like the aspect
ratio changes, it's a whole new like vibe. So have
you got you guys have seen Centers.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I've seen it a bunch of times as my son's
favorite movie. Anytime someone's like, what should we watch, that's
the movie he says to watch.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, that is the correct answer. That correct. That is
the correct answer.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Every home in America an Imax theater every time. Okay,
could you buy us one? I don't think I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Asking for too much A sorry, all right, great, great,
great great great? We got HBO Max just put out
Weapons and Weapons is one of the again, one of
the best movies of the year. That's and it's literally
their number one movie on HBO Max right now. I
personally love Weapons. Another one of my top ten favorite
movies of the year. It's directed by Robert Edgards and
