Whorror Icon Podcast (00:20):
Hey Cuties, and welcome to Horror
Icon, your queer playground forall things scary, sexy, and
stupid.
I'm crybaby the spooky slut fromyour Wettest Nightmares.
And today we are doing somethingnew.
We're doing something new, baby.
Um, sorry.
I'm excited.
Today we're going to be doing atear list.
We're ranking the deaths fromall of the final destination
(00:43):
movies but before we start, ifyou're watching this video, you
may notice that I look a littledifferent.
Yep.
I am out of drag You know, I'min my masculine presenting them
both form.
And, if you're listening, no I'mnot.
If you're listening, I'm paintedfor the gods and I'm cinched.
(01:04):
And I'm slutty.
And I'm cty.
And,.
Am so stupid.
Sorry.
no, Here's the tea.
I'm gonna keep it 100 with you.
Pulling back the curtain.
It's what I do.
For the past two months now, uh,mama has been dealing with some
chronic pain, unfortunately,and, as it turns out, it has
made it quite difficult for meto get into drag and to perform
(01:29):
and to do gigs and stuff likethat.
everything's fine.
Like, it's not like a terminalgrave situation or anything like
that.
Uh, it just, it just fuckinghurts.
It hurts like a bitch.
you know, It limits my mobilitya bit it exhausts me.
It takes a lot out of me to dealwith pain all the time.
Um, but all in all, I am stayingoptimistic.
(01:52):
I am starting physical therapythis week and I have no doubts
that I will be back to myregularly scheduled slutty
cross-dressing shenanigans inlike no time.
but I figured I might as welluse this as an opportunity to
try something new, right?
I've been wanting to do a tierlist for quite some time So
(02:16):
let's try something new while Iwait to heal.
and I'm actually, I'm veryexcited for this.
'cause this is, it's acelebration the new final
destination's bloodlines justcame out this weekend, which I.
Finally, Final destination hasbeen one of my favorite
franchises ever since I was akid.
There's just something aboutthis, the premise of it and the
(02:39):
execution, the execution of itall that just like, I really
enjoy.
And it's been 14 years since welast got a final destination
movie and I really liked thatone.
So I've been like, on the edgeof my seat, just hungry for a
new final destination movie.
And it's finally here.
So we're celebrating.
So with that said, we are gonnabe talking about all of the
(03:03):
death scenes.
from every final destinationmovie, from the first one to and
through bloodlines.
So.
Spoiler warning, baby,, I, Idon't want anyone coming at me
in the comments, i'm telling youright now, big old spoilers
ahead.
Okay?
If you haven't seen bloodlines,do yourself a favor.
(03:25):
Be gone.
Get outta here.
Go grab your friends.
Watch it.
It's a fun theater experience.
Highly encouraged seeing it intheaters It's, it's such a fun
time.
let's talk about like what finaldestination is.
Now I'm sure a lot of, you know,like if you're a horror fan, you
know, a final destination is,but surprisingly, I have a lot
(03:46):
of viewers and listeners thatdon't watch horror movies, which
thank you, thank you, thank youfor being here.
I hope that being here helpsmake horror more.
Palatable and accessible for youbecause it is a really fun
genre.
So, yes, for those of my friendswho aren't familiar with Final
Destination, you have like your,your group of people, your
(04:09):
ensemble, and then yourprotagonist has a vision.
They have a premonition, about adisaster or an accident that is
about to happen and fucking killeverybody.
they end up freaking the fuckout convincing a handful of
people to leave with them.
Right before the accidenthappens cheating death, so to
(04:31):
speak.
But then death comes after themall one by one and kills them in
the order that they would havedied in the accident.
So that's in a nutshell whatfinal destination is.
what we're gonna do is we'regonna go through each movie and
we're gonna talk about all ofthose death scenes, including
the premonitions.
(04:51):
And we're going to rank themnow?
what am I thinking about whenI'm ranking these death scenes?
There's a couple of things.
First off, I'm just thinkingabout personal impact.
Um, I think it's kind of anobvious one.
Did this traumatize me?
Is it something that I'm alreadyafraid of?
Is it something that I am nowafraid of because I saw this
movie?
(05:12):
There's also creativity.
I mean, we talked about this.
I'm like, Tiffany Valentine, Ifucking love a creative kill.
And I love it even more ifthere's a sense of irony behind
it.
Like, ugh, that gets me off.
So that's gonna be a factor.
along with that, I'm, this mayor may not carry a lot of
weight, depending.
(05:32):
I'm gonna be upfront with youright here on this, but I am
gonna think about like how goodit looks Do the effects look
like shit or do they take me outof it?
And then ultimately how much didI enjoy this death scene?
Is it something that I had agood time watching?
Let's look at our tier lists.
Uh, there's gonna be five tiersand our top tier are S tier.
(05:54):
The lead tier is gonna betrauma.
Mama, Am I traumatized?
Well, yes.
This is like our legendary,iconic fucking death scenes or
the ones that just stuck withme.
Next up, we have, I look prettygood for a dead bitch, and these
are the ones that I can reallyappreciate and I, I did enjoy.
(06:14):
Maybe they're not quitelegendary status, but they still
deserve their flowers.
our mid-tier we have, girl, youtried it it's there.
Didn't love it.
Didn't hate it.
Not tonight is our second tolast one.
Those are just the me.
Uh, could have been better.
This bottom tier is gonna be forthe ones that I actively do not
like.
(06:35):
And there are quite a few that Iactively do not like.
And this final tier is called,fuck the Big Picture, Clint.
ScreenRecording_05-20-2025 (06:44):
Fuck the big picture, Clint.
Whorror Icon Podcast (06:46):
So those are our five tiers.
Trauma.
Mama, I look pretty good for adead bitch, girl, you tried it.
Not tonight.
And fuck the big picture, Clint.
So without further ado, let'sjust jump right on in.
And we're gonna start with thefirst final destination film.
The first premonition, thepremonition to kick off this
whole Shenanigans Flight 180.
(07:08):
This one's great.
I personally don't have a fearof flying, but I know a lot of
people out there do have a fearof flying.
And the way this is shot isquite visceral, intense with the
turbulence and the screaming andthe milk duds, rolling back and
forth on the fucking airplaneand the, the wing blowing out.
Watching Alex Browning's skinget all crispy and stuff.
(07:29):
Ugh.
It's, it's naty.
It's great, it's epic.
And for pure respect and justfor kicking it all off, it's
going in trauma.
Mama.
It's a great premonition, it'sactually quite wonderful, quite
scary.
And again, it's, it's the og sowe gotta respect it.
Next up we have Todd Wagner.
our first victim to death'sdesign.
(07:51):
Poor baby Todd.
So this sequence, I like this alot.
Uh, it's a bathroom sequence.
Todd's alone in the bathroom.
He's getting ready for bed orwhatever.
And, it's a lot of misdirect'cause we have water on the
floor that's moving towards him.
he's shaving and there's a razorand there's scissors and there's
the boombox that's plugged in.,Is he gonna electrocute himself?
(08:13):
Is is he gonna accidentally slithis throat open, like what's
gonna happen?
And it's like, no, none of that.
He's gonna slip in the water,he's gonna get caught in the
fucking clothes line that'shanging in the shower.
It's gonna wrap around his neckand he's gonna get hanged.
It's, for me, it's impactful.
I hear a lot of people talkabout this one as if it's mid,
as if it's like, it's not good.
(08:33):
And I'm like, mama, this isit's, it's quite a good scene.
I love the way it's shot, thecinematography.
Oh, it's very uncomfortable.
Watching him struggle in thebathtub slipping and sliding all
over the place his eyes get likebloodshot and it's just, it's
good.
Even if there are just like acouple of goofy moments with how
it wraps around his neck, Idon't care.
So Todd's going and I lookpretty good for a dead bitch.
(08:54):
This is the first one to kick itoff.
It's good, it's uncomfortable.
It gives us a great idea of howdeath is going to be working and
what the rules are like in thefinal destination universe.
uh, Rest in peace.
Todd.
Terry, Cheney.
Ugh.
Terry.
Sweet baby.
Terry, this one's great.
this is almost the exactopposite of what we get with
Todd.
So with Terry, they're on likethe side of a road.
(09:17):
They all bump into each othersomehow her boyfriend and Alex
are fighting and she's over it.
She's, she's had enough so she'sbacking away from them into the
street and she's yelling at herboyfriend and she's just like,
if you wanna spend the rest ofyour life beating the shit out
of Alex, then you can just dropfucking dead boom, she gets
fucking splattered by a bus.
(09:38):
Dude, it's out of nowhere.
Very jump scare, It's great.
I fucking love this.
This is probably the onlyvehicle kill that I will put in
trauma Mama.
'cause it's going up in trauma.
Mama.
'Cause it's the first time wesaw it and it was.
Completely different than whatwe had already seen in this
movie.
And it's just so entertainingit's the kind of kill that like
(09:58):
when it happens, you jump andthen you immediately start
giggling and you just need a fewminutes to calm down.
And fun fact, the directorsinserted an extended shot of
Alka Seltzer in a glass to calmthe audience down after this
kill.
So, that has to go on Trauma,mama, right?
poor Terry.
Next up we have Valerie Lewton.
(10:21):
before we get into Valerie's.
Actual death scene.
We're gonna do a little bit ofhorror trivia.
We're gonna do some historyhere.
In case you haven't noticed, alot of characters in the final
destination universe have namesthat are like nods to horror
icons or legends in horror past,Terry Cheney, Lon Cheney.
Uh, we have, Billy Hitchcock,and then Valerie Lewton is named
(10:45):
after Val Lewton, who producedCat People.
Cat people, for those of you whodon't know, is one of the first,
if not the first, jump scarethat we ever get in, in horror
movies.
it's a really wonderful sequencethere's a lot of tension.
Your protagonist is walking downthe street and she thinks she's
being pursued.
And it's like this freneticcutting back and forth.
(11:08):
And then this tension is cutwith a bust, just barreling in a
frame, making this blaring loudsound.
That kind of jump scare iscalled the Lewton Bus.
That's what it's known as.
So it is a little bit of amissed opportunity that Valerie
Lewton didn't get splattered bythe bus.
Like I think that would've beenreally poetic and fun.
(11:28):
But, she still gets a fuckinggood death scene too.
I'm just gonna, while I talk,I'm putting her in trauma.
Mama.
This is probably my favorite onefrom this movie, from the first
final destination Hers is extraas fuck, death kills her the way
I would kill a spider in myroom.
Like it's overkill, dude.
First off, she's traumatized shelost all of her students.
(11:50):
She lost her colleagues.
She's just mama's going throughit.
She's drinking tea from a mug.
she freaks out.
She dumps the hot tea out of thecup, immediately pours cold
vodka in.
So the cup cracks, and thenvodka is leaking everywhere,
leaving like a little trail, andthen it goes into the computer.
The computer explodes.
It goes into her jugular.
She's bleeding everywhere.
(12:11):
The vodka catches on fire.
It goes into the kitchen thatexplodes.
A knife falls into her chest, achair falls on the knife, and
then the house explodes.
Like this is the most extra Imean, honestly, justice for Val,
I feel so bad for her'cause she,ooh, mama went through it.
But it is traumatizing it.
If you, you watch it, if there'sany death scene.
(12:32):
From the first movie that you'regonna watch, you need to watch
Valerie Lewtons'cause it's themost poor baby.
All right, next we have BillyHitchcock, played by Sean
Williams.
Scott Stiffler, and just pointof order this character Billy
Hitchcock is a fucking loser I'msorry.
I don't mean to be likeinsensitive or anything, but
it's really weird to seeStiffler playing a loser, I
(12:54):
digress.
This sequence is on the side ofa train track.
right before this moment, one ofthe character's cars got smashed
by a train.
He didn't die.
He got saved by Alex.
And right after that happened,the train's going by and Billy's
just fucking screaming ateverybody losing his shit.
Before we know it, a piece ofscrap metal from the car shoots
(13:17):
out.
And it not even a full D cap,it's a half dec cap.
Billy Hitchcock doesn't have thehonor of getting fully
decapitated.
It cuts right through thefucking half of his head.
It's gross.
It's so cool.
So I'm gonna have to put thisin.
I look pretty good for a deadbitch.
'cause this is also.
When we learn a little bit moreabout how death operates in
these movies, we already knowthat death is gonna kill them in
(13:39):
the order that they should havedied.
But now we learn that whensomebody gets saved they get
skipped and death moves on tothe next person.
this is a learning moment forall of us.
Last but not least, we haveCarter Horton.
his happens at the very end ofthe movie.
We have Alex, Carter and Clear,they're the three that survived
(14:01):
the events of the movie from theoriginal group, and now they're
in Paris and they're drinkingwine, and they're just like,
Ugh, we're alive.
This is wonderful.
But Alex is still fuckingparanoid as he should be because
he knows he's next.
there ends up being this wholesequence of events.
On the streets of Paris thatcaused this giant sign to almost
(14:23):
crush Alex.
But Carter intervenes and saveshim.
right before we cut to credits,we see Carter standing there and
he's just like, okay, I savedyou.
Well, who's next?
And we see the sign swinging upbehind him and the screen cuts
to black.
So it is technically offscreen.
I'm not the biggest fan ofOffscreen Kills, but I do think
(14:44):
it's a fun button for the movie.
'cause that right there lets usknow that once death makes its
way through the list, it's gonnacycle back around and keep
trying.
I'll give it points for that,but not much beyond that.
I'm gonna put it on not tonight'cause it's not super special,
but it's not like awful.
I don't hate it, but I don'tlove it.
(15:05):
So it's just gonna be meh.
It's gonna be right there.
Now we're moving on to finalDestination two, the sequel.
First up we have Alex Browning.
Yes.
Alex Browning dies.
No, he doesn't die in thesequel.
He dies in between.
So because of that, I'm alreadygonna put it in Fuck the big
picture, Clint, because killingoff your lead between movies is
(15:26):
a huge disservice.
I understand scheduling didn'tallow for it, so they had to
find a way to kill him off,whatever.
But then it turns out that theway he dies, we see this in a
newspaper clipping, is from afucking falling brick.
How lame is that?
How lame is that?
This isn't pride.
And people were killed.
(15:46):
They were, nobody was killed atStonewall.
Nobody was killed.
Nobody was killed at Stonewall.
Yeah.
automatically killing off theprotagonist in such a lame way.
Fuck the big picture, Clint.
Route 23.
This is the car pile up.
So this is the premonition.
This is the big incitingincident of this movie and
automatically trauma.
Mama.
I can't name a single person inmy generation that does not
(16:10):
switch lanes if they are drivingbehind a logging truck.
And that alone probably tellsyou everything you need to know
about how this this pile upscene works.
there's a big logging truck.
Logs fall in fucking chaosensues, car accidents galore.
This is probably of all of likethe big premonition disasters.
This one, I think is the mostaccessible.
(16:32):
a lot of people drive.
when I moved to New York, thebiggest thing that I was excited
about was not having to driveagain I was stressed every
single time I was on the roadbecause of that shit.
So the Route 23 premonition pileup.
Absolutely Trauma.
Mama.
Evan Lewis.
this is, this is a fun sequence.
It's very playful.
He is in his apartment, hisstove catches on fire, his hand
(16:56):
gets stuck in the garbagedisposal, which is terribly
nerve wracking.
there's lots of stuff that we'reled to be wary of.
But none of that ends up beingwhat takes him out he ends up
escaping the apartment, goingdown the fire escape.
lands on the sidewalk, and he'slike, Ooh, okay, I'm safe.
Slips on some spaghetti that hethrew out the window earlier,
falls on his back, and then thefire escape ladder drops down
(17:20):
and impales him in the eye.
It's fun.
It is it like groundbreaking?
No, but is it a serviceablefinal destination death scene?
Yeah.
So I'll probably, I'm gonna putthis in, girl.
You tried it for now.
We'll see.
This is, I might rearrange someof these at the end.
We'll find out.
Tim Carpenter.
(17:41):
I'm just gonna straight up sayit right now.
This is, I have two favoritekills in this movie and this is
one of them.
So I'll explain it as I bringTim up to trauma.
Mama Tim is an ambiguously agedkid.
He's supposed to be a kid.
I think the character wasoriginally supposed to be eight
years old, but they asked to agehim up'cause they didn't want to
(18:02):
kill a child on screen, whichfair.
But Tim's is great it takesplace at the dentist office,
which is something that.
A lot of people don't like andthere's this whole sequence of
events that happens while he'sthere that makes you think like,
oh, maybe he's gonna suffocatethe laughing gas is going crazy,
Is he gonna get electrocuted?
I don't know.
Much like with Evan, none ofthat is what kills him what does
(18:23):
kill him?
He's outside there's like abunch of pigeons on the road, so
he runs to like,, make themscatter and fly as teenage boys
do.
And those pigeons end up flyinginto like a construction worker
who's navigating this crane thathas a pane of glass on it, he
ends up knocking into a leverand the pane of glass drops and
it crushes this little fuckingkid.
(18:45):
It's so good.
The effects on this arewonderful.
I think in general, the effectson final destination two.
Are probably some of the bestones they hold up to this day.
Tim Carpenter definitely goingup in our top tier trauma.
Mama one of my favorites of alltime.
And then Next up we have Tim'smom, Nora Carpenter, she gets
(19:06):
her head stuck in an elevatordoor and ends up getting
decapitated.
I think that's a very commonfear I think about that almost
every time I go into anelevator.
what leads to her gettingdecapitated.
Uh, it's okay.
Like the writing's not thatgreat.
There's this creepy old man inthe elevator with her that has
this box of like prosthetic hookhands.
(19:27):
her hair gets caught in one of'em, and that's how she ends up
getting stuck in the elevatordoor.
it's good.
It's it.
By no means is it bad.
It's just, it's not my favorite.
So, this is gonna go with Evanand girl, you tried it.
Kat Jennings.
Ugh.
Kat is such a wonderfulcharacter.
I fucking love her.
She's so cty.
I'm just gonna say, now this ismy other favorite death from
(19:49):
this movie.
It's so great.
I'm just gonna drag this up totrauma Mama while I speak.
'cause this is definitely goingin top tier.
Uh, what ends up happening, the,the whole crew, the people who
are still alive, are driving tothe hospital to try to figure
out how to cheat death, as theyalways do.
And they get to a car accidentshe ends up getting pinned into
(20:10):
the driver's seat, like a fencepost goes through the door and
across her lap and she's stuck.
A PVC pipe comes through theback of her seat.
Doesn't impale her during theaccident, but it's like it's
there.
one of the other characters,Eugene, he has to go to the
hospital and she's stuck in thecar, So emergency services show
up and they're trying to use thejaws of life to get her out.
(20:33):
And she's like smoking acigarette.
She stressed as fuck Theyslammed the jaws of life into
the car door and the airbag goesoff and it shoves her head back
onto that PVC pipe that camethrough the back of her seat.
It's so good.
It's so fun.
And then immediately after this,we get another death.
the cigarette that Kat wassmoking falls out of her hand
(20:55):
after she dies.
And there was a news van thatparked not too far away from
here, but it was leaking gas andher cigarette lights that gas on
fire.
The news van explodes and itcatapults this wired fence
towards Rory, and it trisecthim.
It cuts him into three pieces.
(21:16):
This is another wonderfully donepractical one.
three slabs of human beefbasically, and he's going in.
I look pretty good for a deadbitch.
It's not one of my topfavorites, but it's really good.
I appreciate that one.
so after Rory, we have EugeneEugene's, the one that was
injured initially in that caraccident that happened.
It's kind of a two for, it's himand Clear.
(21:38):
It's an explosion.
I'm, I'm not the biggest fan ofexplosions, he's like on a
respirator.
And there's again, this wholesequence of events with the
oxygen leaking and the ventsclosing, and then there's a
spark from the electricaloutlet.
I'm not a scientist.
I don't really understand how itworked, but he blows up in the
hospital.
It's okay.
I mean, I'm not, again, I'm nota huge fan of explosions.
(22:01):
I kind of find most of themboring I think there's way more
exciting and personal ways tokill people.
So I'm better put Eugene and nottonight, but for Clear, yes.
Clear Rivers from the firstmovie.
She's the only returningcharacter from the previous
film.
She is in this one and that'show they kill her, and I don't
(22:21):
like it.
She's going and fuck the bigpicture Clint.
I'm sorry.
having a protagonist from theprevious film die with somebody
else in a kind of like boringway.
Not my gig.
I'm sorry.
Kind of disappointing.
then last but not least, forthis film we have Brian Gibbons.
Now Brian he wasn't part of the,the core group that almost died
(22:43):
in the pileup.
Brian, was saved by Rory.
He was almost hit by a car andRory pulled him outta the way.
And because of that, I guesssome, the logic of this one
doesn't fully land in my skull.
But I guess like Briantechnically cheated death
because somebody that wassupposed to be dead saved him
from dying.
(23:04):
I don't know.
But Brian, he's kind of ourclosing kill.
It's the one that happens rightbefore credits.
This one's a lot more fun thanCarter's, I think.
They're all at a barbecue.
Him, his parents, and then thetwo protagonists that survive
this film, and he blows the fuckup.
I know I just said that I don'tlike explosions.
This one is more fun than abasic explosion because, it's
(23:27):
very, it's comedic and also hisarm lands on his mom's plate
right in front of her.
It's very cheeky.
So, this isn't going to fullygo.
It's not in the bottom.
I'll put it in the middle fornow.
Girl, you tried it, but it'll belike the last one in that tier,
I think.
Let's move to final destination.
(23:48):
Three Devil's flight.
This is the rollercoaster one.
A lot of people like this one.
A lot of people say that this isone of the best ones.
I personally don't fully agree.
It's okay.
I do think rollercoasters are agood, fear.
You know, I think it'sreasonable to have, an accident
take place on this'cause a lotof people are scared of that,
(24:10):
but there's just something aboutit that isn't as satisfying to
me as Flight 180 or the pile upThere's also like some good
amount of CGI there that I'm notsuper crazy about.
Devil's flight I'm gonna put youin, girl.
You tried it, but it'll be atthe top.
I feel like that's my mostcontroversial opinion right now.
Ashley and Ashlyn.
(24:31):
Oh.
This one is fucking iconic.
I feel like if you don't knowthis one, who are you?
Ashley and Ashlyn.
This is the tanning bed one.
It's so fun.
They get trapped in a tanningbed and they burn alive, and we
get a wonderful match cut fromtheir two tanning beds.
A flame next to each other, totwo coffins next to each other
(24:52):
at a funeral.
It's fucking great.
Legendary trauma.
Mama going right on up there.
All right, Frankie Cheeks.
Frankie is, this is when westart to get into caricature
territory.
We move away from real peopleand we move towards meat bags
that you're supposed to want todie.
Every slasher.
This happens Friday the 13th,all up and down their ass.
They have just human meat bagsthat you don't relate to.
(25:15):
Frankie is one of those, he's apervert.
He ends up, getting an enginefan to the back of the head.
In a drive through a truck losescontrol falls downhill, smashes
in the truck behind him, and theengine fan comes and just like
fucks his shit up.
It's cute.
It's gory some of the, the, thebetter effects in the film.
(25:36):
I'm gonna go ahead and put itin, girl.
You tried it in our third tier.
Louis Romero in the gym.
This motherfucker, he'sweightlifting.
this is like toxic masculinity,100%.
This scene is just a bunch ofdudes just like, ah, that's the
entire scene.
some swords fall from a wall andslice the cable to the
(25:59):
weightlifting machine that he'susing and the weights fall down
and, and crush his head.
I do like head crushes.
I think it's fun.
I do think that they overusedcg, like,'cause I think they did
it practically, but they used alot of CG on top of it.
So it was just kind of like, eh,ooh.
This is also gonna go in.
Girl, you tried it in our thirdtier.
(26:19):
I feel like.
I feel like girl you tried.
It's gonna be kind of like mycatchall.
We'll see, I am probably goingto rearrange some of these.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, I'mgonna move Evan Lewis from the
second one up to, I look prettygood for a dead bitch because
compared to the other ones, uh,his is, his is quite good.
So we already had a promotion.
Erin Ulmer.
Okay, this one is fucking great.
(26:42):
This takes place in a departmentstore.
This poor girl falls backwardsonto a nail gun and just gets
nails through the back of herhead and her hands, in front of
her face and it gets likenailed.
In that position.
It's the, the way she jerks andit's, oh my God.
It's quite traumatizingactually.
And also, I mean, yeah, this isgoing in trauma.
(27:05):
Mama.
This is one of my favorites.
A personal note, my older sisterat one point looked very similar
to how Erin looks in this movie.
So that's just another layer oftrauma on this one for me is
just she looks like my sisterand I just, I can't fucking deal
with that.
So anyway, Perry Malinowski.
(27:25):
Now you may be asking yourselfwho and Yes, exactly.
Fuck the big picture.
Clint.
Perry is one of the mostforgettable deaths in this, and
it's a bummer'cause her death ispart of a twist of the film.
Like every final destination hasa, a third act twist where they
find out something, you know,they find out new information or
(27:49):
they come to a new realization.
With this one, with FinalDestination three, the whole
movie, there's like two peoplethat got off the ride that, uh,
Wendy, our lead does not.
They, she doesn't know who theyare'cause we only have the
picture of the back of them.
Come to find out that those twopeople are Wendy's sister and
her friend Perry, and we findthat out when Perry dies.
(28:14):
This is our only scene withPerry.
We got no chance to get to knowwho she is or anything.
She just gets impaled and that'sthat.
So, fuck the big picture Clint.
Uh, there wasn't really anythingimpactful about that one.
if I didn't have this listalready laid out in front of me.
I would've forgotten about her.
All right.
So Ian McKinley.
Ian McKinley.
So this is one of the firsttimes in final destination where
(28:36):
we have one of the characterstake, a pretty heavy
antagonistic stance.
And not just in like the bullykind of way, but in the life
threatening kind of way whereit's like, oh, this motherfucker
is gonna try to kill me.
That's this guy.
After his girlfriend Erin, thegirl with the nail gun dies, he
just loses his shit.
And so we're at like this countyfair or something like that.
(28:58):
And, he is kind of egging Wendyon, and I guess what they say is
he unintentionally interveneswith how Wendy was supposed to
die and takes her place.
But he gets crushed by a cherrypicker and, um.
Kind of similar to explosions.
Crushes are hit or miss with me.
This one's kind of a miss, itjust, it, it looks kind of
(29:20):
goofy.
I do like that half of his bodyslides out and he's flipping a
middle finger now that I thinkabout it.
I think it'll go, I don't know.
It's still gonna go and nottonight.
I'm not a big fan of, ofcrushing like that.
Tim's was just next level.
If it's not Tim Carpentergetting crushed, I'm probably
not interested.
Similar to how, if if it's notTerry getting hit by a bus, it's
(29:42):
just, it's not as good.
So yeah, Ian McKinley's gonna goand not tonight.
And then, ah, final Destinationthree does something new.
We end this movie with apremonition as well.
This is a train premonitionWendy, and like the other two
surviving people, are all on asubway in New York City and the
train crashes.
simply due to proximity bias, Iam gonna put the train in our
(30:06):
second tier.
I look pretty good for a deadbitch because I think about this
a lot.
I think about whether or not thetrain I'm on is going to derail
or crash, and it does kind ofscare the bejesus outta me.
oh, And this also, it's, it'sshown to us as a premonition,
but it's also implied that itdoes happen there's no way that
Wendy and her friends could havegotten off the train before this
(30:29):
happened because it happens toher while she's on the train,
the premonition.
So it's implied that our threemain characters are three
survivors.
Die in this train accident.
Julie gets crushed by a tire,not a tire, a wheel, a train
wheel.
That one's okay.
I'll probably just put it in nottonight.
Even though I do love Amandacrew, she plays Julie.
(30:49):
Kevin, however his is great.
The train's like tilted and he'sagainst the window and he ends
up falling through the windowand just basically gets grounds
to death, like hamburger meat.
That's another thing that Ithink about.
If I'm ever leaning against thetrain doors, I worry so badly
that they're gonna open whilethe train is moving and I'm
gonna fall out and fucking die.
Kevin's gonna go and I lookpretty good for a dead bitch
(31:09):
'cause that is a legitimate fearof mine.
And then Wendy, hers is prettyterrifying.
The train crashes and she endsup alive outside of the train on
the train tracks.
And then she ends up getting hitby another train.
So that one I'll put in, I'llput it in.
Girl, you tried it just becausewe don't get to see anything
happen really.
as much as I would love to skipthis next movie, I have to be a
(31:35):
good journalist and I have tocover it.
Final destination four.
The final destination plottwist.
Most of these are gonna go andfuck the big picture.
Cleanse the Speedway accident.
Now there is something that Ilike about a big accident,
happening in an arena or like avenue or something like that,
because that is scary, gettinglost in a crowd and stuff like
(31:56):
that.
But just, I don't like theeffects.
I don't find NASCAR specificallyrelatable.
And this is my least favoritemovie, the franchise.
So the Speedway is gonna go in,fuck the big picture.
Clint.
Nadia, Nadia's, the first one todie.
She dies actually just outsideof the speedway after everybody
escapes.
(32:16):
She gets crushed by a tire.
And this one's kind of fun.
I don't fully hate this one.
It looks kind of goofy when shegets hit, but the aftermath is
quite excellent.
So because of that, she's notgonna go and fuck the big
picture.
I'll put her one above.
She's gonna go a knot tonight.
All right.
Carter Daniels the racist guy.
(32:38):
So this is when, I'm just gonnasay this now.
Final Destination four.
There is not a single likablecharacter in this movie.
I'm sorry, there's not, there'ssome that may come close, but
generally.
I don't like any of thesecharacters.
Carter is the worst of them.
He is a Dixie whistling racistmotherfucker who ends up getting
(32:59):
lynched outside of this blackguy's house.
'cause he was gonna put like a,a flaming cross on his lawn or
something.
It's, while I appreciate thepoetic justice of it all, the
thing about final destination isit's at its best when the death
scenes are relatable, whenthey're rooted in like a
legitimate everyday fear.
(33:19):
Not everybody is going to beputting flaming crosses on
people's lawns.
I mean, I don't know, half thecountry's probably doing that
right now at this point, giventhe political climate.
But I digress.
I just don't think it's.
A relatable death scene.
And I hate this character andnot in the fun way.
So fuck the big picture.
(33:39):
Clint, Samantha Lane, she's amother.
So Samantha is at a salon andthere's a lot of stuff happening
in this space.
The hairspray touches the flatiron and it looks like it's
about to explode.
This is leaking and the chair isgonna fall, and this, the
Clippers and the fan looks likeit's gonna fall from the
ceiling.
And there's so much going on andnone of it ends up actually
(34:00):
being what kills her.
What does kill her is a rock.
Yeah, a rock.
There's somebody mowing a lawnacross the street.
They run over a rock and it goesthrough her eye.
It's a bit kitschy.
It's not the worst in this film,but it's not great.
It's gonna go a knot tonight.
Andy.
So Andy first off, is kind of ababe.
He's pretty hot.
(34:20):
He's daddy.
But apart from that, his deathis not that spectacular.
It looks goofy as fuck.
He, he's like a mechanic and apressurized gas tank ends up
shooting out from the garage andpushes him through a fence and
he gets chopped up into littlepieces or something.
It looks terrible.
It's not, it's not great.
And again, it's one of thosewhere, it's not really a
(34:43):
relatable everyday fear.
So,, Andy is also gonna go andfuck the big picture Clint,
despite the fact that I wouldfuck him.
hunt.
Hunt is probably one of theleast likable characters in this
film too, however.
He has, the best real deathscene in this movie.
His is something that I wasafraid of that I have read news
reports about happening.
(35:04):
He's the motherfucker that getsstuck, at the bottom of a pool,
at the pool drain.
He gets suctioned down, as firstonto a broken pool drain.
And he ends up gettingdisemboweled his insides become
outsides, legitimate fear.
Pretty well shot.
I think it's a fun sequence.
We're gonna put that one in.
Girl, you tried it.
Jonathan Groves again.
You may be asking me crybaby.
(35:25):
Who?
And.
Yes.
Fuck the big picture, Clint.
Who is this guy?
I'm telling you, if I did not doresearch before this, I would,
he would not be on this list.
He'd be with Perry.
But this is like a cowboymotherfucker who was not part of
the main friend group.
But he was supposed to die inthe accident.
Didn't die in the accident.
He's in the hospital when hedies.
(35:46):
A bathtub in the room above him,like overflows and the tub falls
through the ceiling and likecrushes him or something.
It's, it's whatever.
It's not satisfying at all.
This was also supposed to belike a twist of the movie.
'Cause they didn't know that hewas on desk list.
I don't know.
It's, it's not great.
Ah, the theaters so much.
Like with Final Destinationthree, Our main character Nick.
(36:09):
Has a premonition about anexplosion at a movie theater in
the mall, again, I don't likeexplosions, but the saving grace
by a mile of this premonition.
Is the escalator.
In the explosion, the escalatorjust falls apart and you just
have the gears grinding andworrying, and one of the
characters gets sucked into theescalator.
(36:30):
Also, a legitimate fear.
So because of that, I'm gonnaput this in, girl, you tried it,
it's not gonna go any higherthan that, the escalator alone
is why it's there.
Otherwise it would be much,much, much lower.
George Lanter, he's the securityguard at the Speedway, and he
gets hit by a speeding ambulanceala Terry Cheney Nowhere near as
(36:51):
satisfying, nowhere near asshocking.
He is probably the most likablecharacter and there's nothing
satisfying about how he goesout.
So fuck the big picture, Clint.
And then finally we have Janet,Lori, and Nick.
So these three, they're thethree survivors of the initial
wave of, of death's list.
they're also a post creditdeath.
(37:13):
They're sitting in a coffee shopand a semi-truck crashes through
the window and kills them, butwe don't see it.
We do see, however, some MortalKO looking ass X-rays of their
skeletons breaking and crackingand how they died, which I think
is a clever way to work aroundnot having the budget to have
(37:34):
like an elaborate death scenefor these three characters.
So because of that, I will giveit some points, for creativity,
but it's still not wonderfulit's not quite, fuck the big
picture clan.
I'll put it in not tonight.
Simply because as somebody whohas worked, on film and had a
micro budget, I can appreciate aresourceful solution, to not
(37:56):
having money to do what youwant.
So there's that.
So now we're on to finaldestination.
Five.
This film felt like a return toform, especially after the
steaming pile of shite that wasthe final destination.
God, I'm probably being too hardon that movie.
I mean, it's still fun.
It's just the worst one of them.
(38:17):
I'll be nicer, I promise.
But whatever.
This isn't about that oneanymore.
We're onto final DestinationFive, and that film kicks off
with a bridge collapse.
Um, baby, this one's prettygood.
After the Speedway incident, andno offense to the rollercoaster,
but this one it had scale to it,it was much bigger and much more
(38:37):
terrifying.
Again, I walk across theWilliamsburg Bridge all the
fucking time.
It's something that is in mymind what if this bridge goes
down?
I'm gonna put this one and Ilook pretty good for a dead
bitch.
It's a wonderful premonitionscene.
one of the highlights is one ofthe characters kind of like
almost falls off the bridge andhe's holding onto the side.
(38:58):
And then this, va of hot tarspills all over him.
Oh my God, it's awful.
So good.
It's a great way to start offthis movie.
Candace Hooper girl, girl.
She's going right up to trauma.
Mama.
This sequence is fuckingwonderful.
Candace is, it's the gymnasticsone, And I know what you're
(39:18):
thinking.
Cry baby.
Gymnastics isn't an accessiblefear.
Like not everybody doesgymnastics.
I don't care.
Alright, I'm gonna be ahypocrite here for a second.
This sequence is a masterclassin tension.
It's a masterclass inmisdirection.
Oh, there's so much happening.
You have water leaking, an openelectrical wire.
a little screw on the gymnasticsbalance beam.
(39:42):
you're watching this characternavigate all that, wondering
what it's going to be that'sgoing to take her out.
what ends up happening, it'snone of those.
Her teammate ends up stepping onthat screw on the balance Beam
knocks over a bowl of chalk intoa fan and it blows into
Candace's face while she's onthe, the high bar.
And she ends up flipping allkinds of crazy and just cracks
(40:04):
her spine like it's seeing ahuman body do.
What hers did It's so good.
So Trauma.
Mama.
Isaac Palmer.
He's, he's a sleazeball, he'skind of in the same category as
like Frankie from the thirdmovie.
pervy and gross and, He dies ina massage parlor he gets
(40:24):
acupuncture.
He falls off the table and theneedles go all up into his skin.
The place catches on fire, buthe ends up, going out by his
head, his head gets crushed bythis big Buddhist statue that
falls off of the wall, which iskind of a nice button.
It's not amazing by any means,but it's, it's fine.
It's serviceable.
but I just, I don't like how heis.
(40:46):
It's gonna go a knot tonight.
I'm sorry.
The way he died wasn'tsatisfying enough.
I know that sounds weird, but itjust wasn't.
Next Olivia Castle.
first off, what a babe.
She's gorgeous.
I wanna look like that.
Throwing that out there.
But she, is the LASIK one.
She's getting LASIK surgery andthe machine goes haywire and
just starts fucking her eye upshe ends up escaping the
(41:10):
machine, but she ends uptripping and falling out the
window to her death.
This one's tricky because I likethe LASIK of it all.
I don't like the falling out ofthe window part of it as much.
I'm gonna put it in girl, youtried it, uh, just right in the
middle.
I think that's appropriate whereit belongs.
Roy Carson.
to rewind every movie, they'retrying to figure out how to
(41:32):
cheat death and how to, how tobeat death's design, and none of
'em really do.
But in this movie, thecharacters find out that a way
to cheat death is to killsomebody.
And by killing somebody, theytake their time, whatever time
they had left on their life, andthey will no longer be on
death's list.
So what happens with Roy?
We have Nathan, who was next ondeath's list, he's like a
(41:56):
foreman in like this factory.
And he gets into a fight with,with Roy and it kind of becomes
this yelling, shoving match.
And Nathan.
Shoves Roy in the way of afalling hook that was meant for
him.
Roy ends up getting the hookthrough the, the chin and the
head.
So death skips Nathan.
This one's pretty good.
(42:16):
It's pretty gross.
I'm gonna pop it and girl, youtried it.
We don't have much of aconnection to him, so it's just
more so because this is how wefind out.
That killing somebody actuallydoes work.
It allows you to be skippedbecause, instead of Nathan dying
next, we jump straight toDennis.
This one's pretty fun.
It's a very fast one, kind ofcheeky because after Roy dies
(42:38):
they're asking, well, like,who's next, who's next?
And then a wrench falls off ofsomewhere, and gets flung into
Dennis's face.
And it just absolutely crusheshim and it looks disgusting.
So I'm gonna pop that one.
I think I'm also gonna put thatone in.
Girl, you tried it'cause it'slike, it's fine.
Hold on, I'm gonna take a secondand I'm gonna, I'm gonna
evaluate real quick.
Yeah, Dennis is gonna go andgrill.
(42:59):
You tried it.
Oh, we're actually, we'remissing a character here.
It doesn't matter'cause itwould've gone and fuck the big
picture client.
But there's a cop.
There's like a detective thatgets shot.
He has nothing to do with any ofthese characters.
He's not on desk list oranything.
He gets shot by Peter.
So just so you know, I was gonnathrow him on fuck the big
picture Clint, but whatever.
I guess I don't have to worryabout that now.
(43:19):
next up we have Peter.
Peter is another character thatgoes into antagonist territory.
'Cause the thing is Molly, Sam'sgirlfriend.
Never died in the premonition.
She was always safe.
She was not on death's list.
She was fine.
Peter was not happy about this.
As soon as his girlfriendCandace died in the gymnastics
situation, he loses his shit andhe wants to play God and he
(43:41):
wants to kill Molly to takewhatever time she had left so he
can survive.
So he tries to kill her, butPeter gets skewered, with just
like a meat skewer.
'cause they're in a restaurantwhen this happens.
fuck the big picture, Clint.
Molly and Sam, so spoiler ruler,This is when we find out that
final destination five was aprequel.
(44:04):
Because Molly and Sam end up onFlight 180 from the first movie,
and that's how they die.
So, because of that, because itwas such a delicious twist and I
just loved seeing it happen,Molly and Sam are both gonna go
up on, I look pretty good for adead bitch.
'cause it was just verysatisfying, to see that come
full circle.
Nathan is our last one.
(44:25):
He's the guy that pushed Roy infront of that hook.
Again, it's kind of like a, alast minute pre-credit kill.
he's in the bar for Roy'smemorial and we find out that
Roy had uh, an enlarged bloodvessel in his brain or
something, and he was gonna dieany day.
And so Nathan's like, oh shit.
And as soon as he has thatrealization, a wheel from Flight
(44:49):
180 after it explodes, crashesthrough the bar and crushes him.
It's okay.
Again, I'm not the biggest fanof crushing.
Um, I do like that littlecheekiness of him not really
being in the clear.
So I'm just gonna put it in, nottonight.
It's not the worst, but it's notthe best.
Alright, finally, we are finallyat bloodlines.
(45:11):
So last call, if you haven'tseen bloodlines yet.
Once again, I highly recommendseeing this movie in theaters.
It is so much fucking fun.
I had a blast.
And we're gonna start with theSkyview Tower.
This is the premonition, theopening premonition.
And when I say that this is a, ahuge contender for my favorite
premonition, my favorite,disaster.
(45:32):
I'm obsessed with this.
It's, it takes place in this,tower restaurant and just a
bunch of shit goes wrong wherelike, the entire tower, crumbles
apart and everyone dies.
Like You have people fallingthrough this glass dance floor
to the ground below.
a gas leak and there's anexplosion.
There's a woman that's, set onfire, which by the way, set a
(45:52):
record for the oldest person toever do a fire, fire stunt, then
yeah, you have the tower justsplitting in two and falling
apart.
It's fucking great.
This is definitely going intrauma, mama, especially because
I am very afraid of heights.
So this hit a special cord withme Anytime I'm on a skyscraper,
that's the shit that crosses mymind.
(46:13):
Next we have Iris Campbell.
She's the one that had thevision and with the Skyview
Tower, It's not like the othermovies where only a couple of
people survived.
No, nobody died.
So we're talking hundreds ofpeople on, or I'm not, I don't
know if it's a hundred, but nota lot of people were on death's
list.
Iris she was the second to lastperson to die in the
(46:35):
premonition.
So it took death a long time toget to her.
She's a grandma now, and she'sbeen in hiding because she knows
what's up.
She's trying to save her family.
But her granddaughter, Stephaniewent to visit her because
Stephanie has been having dreamsof this premonition.
So that's a lot of backstory.
Anyway, Iris, she ends up dying,in a weird way.
One of those weather veins onher roof ends up falling down
(47:00):
and, lands on the end of a fireextinguisher and gets launched
into the back of her head.
it's pretty shocking, but it'salso like, we kind of knew it
was coming because, she toldStephanie like, okay, if you
don't believe me that this ishappening, just step back and
watch what happens.
I mean, it was pretty gross.
It wasn't like super rooted in arealistic fear, I don't think.
But, I liked it.
(47:21):
I'll put it in.
I look pretty good for a deadbitch.
It was pretty gory.
Howard Campbell.
So this is Iris's oldest son.
He's the next to die.
Now this one, uh, Woodstocks isthis death scene They pretty
much showed how everything wasgonna happen during the trailer
for this film.
they're at a barbecue.
He ends up stepping on a pieceof glass and falling backwards
(47:43):
exactly as a rogue lawnmower.
runs over his face.
There's a whole sequence ofevents that leads up to it, but,
it's a great scene.
I do wish that they didn't ruinit in the trailer because I feel
like it's one of the stronger.
Death scenes in this movie, butthat doesn't dilute the fact
that it's great.
It's very fun to watch and it's,it's pretty gory and lawnmowers.
(48:03):
There's just something aboutlawnmowers to the face that's
like, oh, I'm looking at yousinister.
Howard, he's gonna go on.
I I look pretty good for a deadbitch.
It's gonna be up there.
It's great.
Julia Campbell, so this is hisdaughter.
this one's a very funny one.
'Cause essentially how she dieswas predicted by Stephanie, She
ends up in the back of a,garbage truck and she gets
crushed.
The effects don't look superwonderful on this, but, I don't
(48:26):
know.
I, I really like this actress.
I can't remember her name.
It's like Anna something.
She, she was great.
This scene was funny and youknow, the back of a garbage
truck.
There's kind of a soft spot inmy heart.
I think a lot about child's playThree.
That's one of my favorite deathsfrom that movie.
And it's just fun.
this is also gonna go and I lookpretty good for a dead bitch.
This could also just be recencybias.
(48:47):
I don't know.
We will reevaluate.
Next up Eric Campbell.
best character in this movie,hands down.
I do want to fuck him, but thathas nothing to do with it.
He's just, he's so funny.
He is so fucking funny.
He's also a tattoo artist andtatted, so of course like I'm
gonna love that shit.
But how he dies is very fun.
(49:10):
It's an MRI machine the MRImachine goes haywire and it
starts ripping out all of hispiercings, which as somebody who
has piercings and who has hadpiercings unintentionally ripped
out of my body.
That struck a special nerve withme.
then he ends up getting, pinnedto the entry of the MRI machine
with the wheelchair and likegetting snapped in half and
(49:32):
pulled through the the MRImachine hole.
It's gory, it's wonderful.
It's trauma, mama.
It's gonna go right up there.
Bobby Campbell, his brother dieslike immediately right after,
Bobby is allergic to peanuts.
So this whole time, they weretrying to cheat death by giving
him an allergic reaction andthen bringing him back to life
to break the chain.
Obviously doesn't work becauseEric ends up getting killed
(49:54):
before he gets a chance to dothat.
And then immediately after theMRI machine pulls this spring
from a vending machine rightinto his head and it looks
pretty good.
I'm trying to see if it's, Ifelt like it was a little
underwhelming, but it's becauseit literally comes 30 seconds
after one of the, the best deathscenes in this movie.
So, I'm gonna try not to letthat color my judgment here.
(50:15):
It's still pretty good.
Bobby is a likable, all thecharacters are likable.
and it's, It was nice and itwasn't predictable.
It was.
Quite subversive with a sense ofhumor.
So I'm gonna put you and I lookpretty good for a dead bitch.
Bobby, that was pretty fun.
we're in our last three,Darlene, Stephanie and Charlie.
Oh, Darlene.
(50:36):
Darlene, Darlene, Darlene.
So here's the thing, I have abone to pick all this time
there's been talk about howfinal destination was finally
gonna have a death with arevolving door, They even showed
it in the trailer.
They showed little teasers of,of Darlene getting stuck in the
revolving door.
There was none of that in thismovie.
Apparently what had happened wasthey shot that and then they
(50:59):
decided that they didn't want tokill her off so soon in the
movie and they wanted to giveher a little bit more time to
get a redemption arc with herkids.
'cause she's estranged from herchildren.
I get it, I get the, thestorytelling of that.
But I am so disappointed that,that's not how she died.
She ends up dying, in, wellthere's like this explosion at
(51:20):
Iris's, little safe compound.
She kind of saves her kids fromdying in that explosion.
and then she immediately getscrushed and we know how I feel
about crushing.
So I'm sorry, Darlene.
Fuck the big picture Clint.
We could have had a super badassrevolving door death and we got.
Crushed, whatever.
Stephanie and Charlie, so thisis at the very end.
(51:43):
a train nearby derails andalmost runs them down.
it stops before it crushes themand then a logging truck somehow
ends up coming over that and thelogs fall down and crush them.
It's cheeky because of thelogging truck.
I don't like the effects as muchon this one as I would like to.
(52:06):
It also just the entire thirdact of this movie feels a little
rushed to me and this is kind ofpart of it.
That's my biggest thing withthis movie which makes sense
'cause they rewrote it andre-shot it for Darlene.
But, our main characters goingout at the end of the film, it's
not the worst thing.
But it's not the best.
I'm gonna put them in Knot toKnot and that's that.
Holy shit, that took forever.
(52:28):
Thank you for being here withme.
And that.
Yeah, that's it.
That's our ranking of the finaldestination deaths from the
first one all the way throughbloodlines.
Let me know what you think.
I would love to hear what someof your favorite deaths are.
If you don't agree with me,please let me know.
Also this is probably going tochange.
This is a living, breathingdocument.
(52:50):
Mama.
I'm a Gemini.
All right.
I may feel this way right now.
Tomorrow might be a completelydifferent thing.
So, yeah, that's what I got.
Tell me what you think.
until next time, cuties, don'tbe scared unless you're into
that sort of thing.
Bye.
What is your book of Well,hanging out with your Smartest
and Funniest Friend.
You know me, I'll kill anybody,but.
Whorror Icon Podcast (00:20):
Hey Cuties, and welcome to Horror
Icon, your queer playground forall things scary, sexy, and
stupid.
I'm crybaby the spooky slut fromyour Wettest Nightmares.
And today we are doing somethingnew.
We're doing something new, baby.
Um, sorry.
I'm excited.
Today we're going to be doing atear list.
We're ranking the deaths fromall of the final destination
(00:43):
movies but before we start, ifyou're watching this video, you
may notice that I look a littledifferent.
Yep.
I am out of drag You know, I'min my masculine presenting them
both form.
And, if you're listening, no I'mnot.
If you're listening, I'm paintedfor the gods and I'm cinched.
(01:04):
And I'm slutty.
And I'm cty.
And,.
Am so stupid.
Sorry.
no, Here's the tea.
I'm gonna keep it 100 with you.
Pulling back the curtain.
It's what I do.
For the past two months now, uh,mama has been dealing with some
chronic pain, unfortunately,and, as it turns out, it has
made it quite difficult for meto get into drag and to perform
(01:29):
and to do gigs and stuff likethat.
everything's fine.
Like, it's not like a terminalgrave situation or anything like
that.
Uh, it just, it just fuckinghurts.
It hurts like a bitch.
you know, It limits my mobilitya bit it exhausts me.
It takes a lot out of me to dealwith pain all the time.
Um, but all in all, I am stayingoptimistic.
(01:52):
I am starting physical therapythis week and I have no doubts
that I will be back to myregularly scheduled slutty
cross-dressing shenanigans inlike no time.
but I figured I might as welluse this as an opportunity to
try something new, right?
I've been wanting to do a tierlist for quite some time So
(02:16):
let's try something new while Iwait to heal.
and I'm actually, I'm veryexcited for this.
'cause this is, it's acelebration the new final
destination's bloodlines justcame out this weekend, which I.
Finally, Final destination hasbeen one of my favorite
franchises ever since I was akid.
There's just something aboutthis, the premise of it and the
(02:39):
execution, the execution of itall that just like, I really
enjoy.
And it's been 14 years since welast got a final destination
movie and I really liked thatone.
So I've been like, on the edgeof my seat, just hungry for a
new final destination movie.
And it's finally here.
So we're celebrating.
So with that said, we are gonnabe talking about all of the
(03:03):
death scenes.
from every final destinationmovie, from the first one to and
through bloodlines.
So.
Spoiler warning, baby,, I, Idon't want anyone coming at me
in the comments, i'm telling youright now, big old spoilers
ahead.
Okay?
If you haven't seen bloodlines,do yourself a favor.
(03:25):
Be gone.
Get outta here.
Go grab your friends.
Watch it.
It's a fun theater experience.
Highly encouraged seeing it intheaters It's, it's such a fun
time.
let's talk about like what finaldestination is.
Now I'm sure a lot of, you know,like if you're a horror fan, you
know, a final destination is,but surprisingly, I have a lot
(03:46):
of viewers and listeners thatdon't watch horror movies, which
thank you, thank you, thank youfor being here.
I hope that being here helpsmake horror more.
Palatable and accessible for youbecause it is a really fun
genre.
So, yes, for those of my friendswho aren't familiar with Final
Destination, you have like your,your group of people, your
(04:09):
ensemble, and then yourprotagonist has a vision.
They have a premonition, about adisaster or an accident that is
about to happen and fucking killeverybody.
they end up freaking the fuckout convincing a handful of
people to leave with them.
Right before the accidenthappens cheating death, so to
(04:31):
speak.
But then death comes after themall one by one and kills them in
the order that they would havedied in the accident.
So that's in a nutshell whatfinal destination is.
what we're gonna do is we'regonna go through each movie and
we're gonna talk about all ofthose death scenes, including
the premonitions.
(04:51):
And we're going to rank themnow?
what am I thinking about whenI'm ranking these death scenes?
There's a couple of things.
First off, I'm just thinkingabout personal impact.
Um, I think it's kind of anobvious one.
Did this traumatize me?
Is it something that I'm alreadyafraid of?
Is it something that I am nowafraid of because I saw this
movie?
(05:12):
There's also creativity.
I mean, we talked about this.
I'm like, Tiffany Valentine, Ifucking love a creative kill.
And I love it even more ifthere's a sense of irony behind
it.
Like, ugh, that gets me off.
So that's gonna be a factor.
along with that, I'm, this mayor may not carry a lot of
weight, depending.
(05:32):
I'm gonna be upfront with youright here on this, but I am
gonna think about like how goodit looks Do the effects look
like shit or do they take me outof it?
And then ultimately how much didI enjoy this death scene?
Is it something that I had agood time watching?
Let's look at our tier lists.
Uh, there's gonna be five tiersand our top tier are S tier.
(05:54):
The lead tier is gonna betrauma.
Mama, Am I traumatized?
Well, yes.
This is like our legendary,iconic fucking death scenes or
the ones that just stuck withme.
Next up, we have, I look prettygood for a dead bitch, and these
are the ones that I can reallyappreciate and I, I did enjoy.
(06:14):
Maybe they're not quitelegendary status, but they still
deserve their flowers.
our mid-tier we have, girl, youtried it it's there.
Didn't love it.
Didn't hate it.
Not tonight is our second tolast one.
Those are just the me.
Uh, could have been better.
This bottom tier is gonna be forthe ones that I actively do not
like.
(06:35):
And there are quite a few that Iactively do not like.
And this final tier is called,fuck the Big Picture, Clint.
ScreenRecording_05-20-2025 (06:44):
Fuck the big picture, Clint.
Whorror Icon Podcast (06:46):
So those are our five tiers.
Trauma.
Mama, I look pretty good for adead bitch, girl, you tried it.
Not tonight.
And fuck the big picture, Clint.
So without further ado, let'sjust jump right on in.
And we're gonna start with thefirst final destination film.
The first premonition, thepremonition to kick off this
whole Shenanigans Flight 180.
(07:08):
This one's great.
I personally don't have a fearof flying, but I know a lot of
people out there do have a fearof flying.
And the way this is shot isquite visceral, intense with the
turbulence and the screaming andthe milk duds, rolling back and
forth on the fucking airplaneand the, the wing blowing out.
Watching Alex Browning's skinget all crispy and stuff.
(07:29):
Ugh.
It's, it's naty.
It's great, it's epic.
And for pure respect and justfor kicking it all off, it's
going in trauma.
Mama.
It's a great premonition, it'sactually quite wonderful, quite
scary.
And again, it's, it's the og sowe gotta respect it.
Next up we have Todd Wagner.
our first victim to death'sdesign.
(07:51):
Poor baby Todd.
So this sequence, I like this alot.
Uh, it's a bathroom sequence.
Todd's alone in the bathroom.
He's getting ready for bed orwhatever.
And, it's a lot of misdirect'cause we have water on the
floor that's moving towards him.
he's shaving and there's a razorand there's scissors and there's
the boombox that's plugged in.,Is he gonna electrocute himself?
(08:13):
Is is he gonna accidentally slithis throat open, like what's
gonna happen?
And it's like, no, none of that.
He's gonna slip in the water,he's gonna get caught in the
fucking clothes line that'shanging in the shower.
It's gonna wrap around his neckand he's gonna get hanged.
It's, for me, it's impactful.
I hear a lot of people talkabout this one as if it's mid,
as if it's like, it's not good.
(08:33):
And I'm like, mama, this isit's, it's quite a good scene.
I love the way it's shot, thecinematography.
Oh, it's very uncomfortable.
Watching him struggle in thebathtub slipping and sliding all
over the place his eyes get likebloodshot and it's just, it's
good.
Even if there are just like acouple of goofy moments with how
it wraps around his neck, Idon't care.
So Todd's going and I lookpretty good for a dead bitch.
(08:54):
This is the first one to kick itoff.
It's good, it's uncomfortable.
It gives us a great idea of howdeath is going to be working and
what the rules are like in thefinal destination universe.
uh, Rest in peace.
Todd.
Terry, Cheney.
Ugh.
Terry.
Sweet baby.
Terry, this one's great.
this is almost the exactopposite of what we get with
Todd.
So with Terry, they're on likethe side of a road.
(09:17):
They all bump into each othersomehow her boyfriend and Alex
are fighting and she's over it.
She's, she's had enough so she'sbacking away from them into the
street and she's yelling at herboyfriend and she's just like,
if you wanna spend the rest ofyour life beating the shit out
of Alex, then you can just dropfucking dead boom, she gets
fucking splattered by a bus.
(09:38):
Dude, it's out of nowhere.
Very jump scare, It's great.
I fucking love this.
This is probably the onlyvehicle kill that I will put in
trauma Mama.
'cause it's going up in trauma.
Mama.
'Cause it's the first time wesaw it and it was.
Completely different than whatwe had already seen in this
movie.
And it's just so entertainingit's the kind of kill that like
(09:58):
when it happens, you jump andthen you immediately start
giggling and you just need a fewminutes to calm down.
And fun fact, the directorsinserted an extended shot of
Alka Seltzer in a glass to calmthe audience down after this
kill.
So, that has to go on Trauma,mama, right?
poor Terry.
Next up we have Valerie Lewton.
(10:21):
before we get into Valerie's.
Actual death scene.
We're gonna do a little bit ofhorror trivia.
We're gonna do some historyhere.
In case you haven't noticed, alot of characters in the final
destination universe have namesthat are like nods to horror
icons or legends in horror past,Terry Cheney, Lon Cheney.
Uh, we have, Billy Hitchcock,and then Valerie Lewton is named
(10:45):
after Val Lewton, who producedCat People.
Cat people, for those of you whodon't know, is one of the first,
if not the first, jump scarethat we ever get in, in horror
movies.
it's a really wonderful sequencethere's a lot of tension.
Your protagonist is walking downthe street and she thinks she's
being pursued.
And it's like this freneticcutting back and forth.
(11:08):
And then this tension is cutwith a bust, just barreling in a
frame, making this blaring loudsound.
That kind of jump scare iscalled the Lewton Bus.
That's what it's known as.
So it is a little bit of amissed opportunity that Valerie
Lewton didn't get splattered bythe bus.
Like I think that would've beenreally poetic and fun.
(11:28):
But, she still gets a fuckinggood death scene too.
I'm just gonna, while I talk,I'm putting her in trauma.
Mama.
This is probably my favorite onefrom this movie, from the first
final destination Hers is extraas fuck, death kills her the way
I would kill a spider in myroom.
Like it's overkill, dude.
First off, she's traumatized shelost all of her students.
(11:50):
She lost her colleagues.
She's just mama's going throughit.
She's drinking tea from a mug.
she freaks out.
She dumps the hot tea out of thecup, immediately pours cold
vodka in.
So the cup cracks, and thenvodka is leaking everywhere,
leaving like a little trail, andthen it goes into the computer.
The computer explodes.
It goes into her jugular.
She's bleeding everywhere.
(12:11):
The vodka catches on fire.
It goes into the kitchen thatexplodes.
A knife falls into her chest, achair falls on the knife, and
then the house explodes.
Like this is the most extra Imean, honestly, justice for Val,
I feel so bad for her'cause she,ooh, mama went through it.
But it is traumatizing it.
If you, you watch it, if there'sany death scene.
(12:32):
From the first movie that you'regonna watch, you need to watch
Valerie Lewtons'cause it's themost poor baby.
All right, next we have BillyHitchcock, played by Sean
Williams.
Scott Stiffler, and just pointof order this character Billy
Hitchcock is a fucking loser I'msorry.
I don't mean to be likeinsensitive or anything, but
it's really weird to seeStiffler playing a loser, I
(12:54):
digress.
This sequence is on the side ofa train track.
right before this moment, one ofthe character's cars got smashed
by a train.
He didn't die.
He got saved by Alex.
And right after that happened,the train's going by and Billy's
just fucking screaming ateverybody losing his shit.
Before we know it, a piece ofscrap metal from the car shoots
(13:17):
out.
And it not even a full D cap,it's a half dec cap.
Billy Hitchcock doesn't have thehonor of getting fully
decapitated.
It cuts right through thefucking half of his head.
It's gross.
It's so cool.
So I'm gonna have to put thisin.
I look pretty good for a deadbitch.
'cause this is also.
When we learn a little bit moreabout how death operates in
these movies, we already knowthat death is gonna kill them in
(13:39):
the order that they should havedied.
But now we learn that whensomebody gets saved they get
skipped and death moves on tothe next person.
this is a learning moment forall of us.
Last but not least, we haveCarter Horton.
his happens at the very end ofthe movie.
We have Alex, Carter and Clear,they're the three that survived
(14:01):
the events of the movie from theoriginal group, and now they're
in Paris and they're drinkingwine, and they're just like,
Ugh, we're alive.
This is wonderful.
But Alex is still fuckingparanoid as he should be because
he knows he's next.
there ends up being this wholesequence of events.
On the streets of Paris thatcaused this giant sign to almost
(14:23):
crush Alex.
But Carter intervenes and saveshim.
right before we cut to credits,we see Carter standing there and
he's just like, okay, I savedyou.
Well, who's next?
And we see the sign swinging upbehind him and the screen cuts
to black.
So it is technically offscreen.
I'm not the biggest fan ofOffscreen Kills, but I do think
(14:44):
it's a fun button for the movie.
'cause that right there lets usknow that once death makes its
way through the list, it's gonnacycle back around and keep
trying.
I'll give it points for that,but not much beyond that.
I'm gonna put it on not tonight'cause it's not super special,
but it's not like awful.
I don't hate it, but I don'tlove it.
(15:05):
So it's just gonna be meh.
It's gonna be right there.
Now we're moving on to finalDestination two, the sequel.
First up we have Alex Browning.
Yes.
Alex Browning dies.
No, he doesn't die in thesequel.
He dies in between.
So because of that, I'm alreadygonna put it in Fuck the big
picture, Clint, because killingoff your lead between movies is
(15:26):
a huge disservice.
I understand scheduling didn'tallow for it, so they had to
find a way to kill him off,whatever.
But then it turns out that theway he dies, we see this in a
newspaper clipping, is from afucking falling brick.
How lame is that?
How lame is that?
This isn't pride.
And people were killed.
(15:46):
They were, nobody was killed atStonewall.
Nobody was killed.
Nobody was killed at Stonewall.
Yeah.
automatically killing off theprotagonist in such a lame way.
Fuck the big picture, Clint.
Route 23.
This is the car pile up.
So this is the premonition.
This is the big incitingincident of this movie and
automatically trauma.
Mama.
I can't name a single person inmy generation that does not
(16:10):
switch lanes if they are drivingbehind a logging truck.
And that alone probably tellsyou everything you need to know
about how this this pile upscene works.
there's a big logging truck.
Logs fall in fucking chaosensues, car accidents galore.
This is probably of all of likethe big premonition disasters.
This one, I think is the mostaccessible.
(16:32):
a lot of people drive.
when I moved to New York, thebiggest thing that I was excited
about was not having to driveagain I was stressed every
single time I was on the roadbecause of that shit.
So the Route 23 premonition pileup.
Absolutely Trauma.
Mama.
Evan Lewis.
this is, this is a fun sequence.
It's very playful.
He is in his apartment, hisstove catches on fire, his hand
(16:56):
gets stuck in the garbagedisposal, which is terribly
nerve wracking.
there's lots of stuff that we'reled to be wary of.
But none of that ends up beingwhat takes him out he ends up
escaping the apartment, goingdown the fire escape.
lands on the sidewalk, and he'slike, Ooh, okay, I'm safe.
Slips on some spaghetti that hethrew out the window earlier,
falls on his back, and then thefire escape ladder drops down
(17:20):
and impales him in the eye.
It's fun.
It is it like groundbreaking?
No, but is it a serviceablefinal destination death scene?
Yeah.
So I'll probably, I'm gonna putthis in, girl.
You tried it for now.
We'll see.
This is, I might rearrange someof these at the end.
We'll find out.
Tim Carpenter.
(17:41):
I'm just gonna straight up sayit right now.
This is, I have two favoritekills in this movie and this is
one of them.
So I'll explain it as I bringTim up to trauma.
Mama Tim is an ambiguously agedkid.
He's supposed to be a kid.
I think the character wasoriginally supposed to be eight
years old, but they asked to agehim up'cause they didn't want to
(18:02):
kill a child on screen, whichfair.
But Tim's is great it takesplace at the dentist office,
which is something that.
A lot of people don't like andthere's this whole sequence of
events that happens while he'sthere that makes you think like,
oh, maybe he's gonna suffocatethe laughing gas is going crazy,
Is he gonna get electrocuted?
I don't know.
Much like with Evan, none ofthat is what kills him what does
(18:23):
kill him?
He's outside there's like abunch of pigeons on the road, so
he runs to like,, make themscatter and fly as teenage boys
do.
And those pigeons end up flyinginto like a construction worker
who's navigating this crane thathas a pane of glass on it, he
ends up knocking into a leverand the pane of glass drops and
it crushes this little fuckingkid.
(18:45):
It's so good.
The effects on this arewonderful.
I think in general, the effectson final destination two.
Are probably some of the bestones they hold up to this day.
Tim Carpenter definitely goingup in our top tier trauma.
Mama one of my favorites of alltime.
And then Next up we have Tim'smom, Nora Carpenter, she gets
(19:06):
her head stuck in an elevatordoor and ends up getting
decapitated.
I think that's a very commonfear I think about that almost
every time I go into anelevator.
what leads to her gettingdecapitated.
Uh, it's okay.
Like the writing's not thatgreat.
There's this creepy old man inthe elevator with her that has
this box of like prosthetic hookhands.
(19:27):
her hair gets caught in one of'em, and that's how she ends up
getting stuck in the elevatordoor.
it's good.
It's it.
By no means is it bad.
It's just, it's not my favorite.
So, this is gonna go with Evanand girl, you tried it.
Kat Jennings.
Ugh.
Kat is such a wonderfulcharacter.
I fucking love her.
She's so cty.
I'm just gonna say, now this ismy other favorite death from
(19:49):
this movie.
It's so great.
I'm just gonna drag this up totrauma Mama while I speak.
'cause this is definitely goingin top tier.
Uh, what ends up happening, the,the whole crew, the people who
are still alive, are driving tothe hospital to try to figure
out how to cheat death, as theyalways do.
And they get to a car accidentshe ends up getting pinned into
(20:10):
the driver's seat, like a fencepost goes through the door and
across her lap and she's stuck.
A PVC pipe comes through theback of her seat.
Doesn't impale her during theaccident, but it's like it's
there.
one of the other characters,Eugene, he has to go to the
hospital and she's stuck in thecar, So emergency services show
up and they're trying to use thejaws of life to get her out.
(20:33):
And she's like smoking acigarette.
She stressed as fuck Theyslammed the jaws of life into
the car door and the airbag goesoff and it shoves her head back
onto that PVC pipe that camethrough the back of her seat.
It's so good.
It's so fun.
And then immediately after this,we get another death.
the cigarette that Kat wassmoking falls out of her hand
(20:55):
after she dies.
And there was a news van thatparked not too far away from
here, but it was leaking gas andher cigarette lights that gas on
fire.
The news van explodes and itcatapults this wired fence
towards Rory, and it trisecthim.
It cuts him into three pieces.
(21:16):
This is another wonderfully donepractical one.
three slabs of human beefbasically, and he's going in.
I look pretty good for a deadbitch.
It's not one of my topfavorites, but it's really good.
I appreciate that one.
so after Rory, we have EugeneEugene's, the one that was
injured initially in that caraccident that happened.
It's kind of a two for, it's himand Clear.
(21:38):
It's an explosion.
I'm, I'm not the biggest fan ofexplosions, he's like on a
respirator.
And there's again, this wholesequence of events with the
oxygen leaking and the ventsclosing, and then there's a
spark from the electricaloutlet.
I'm not a scientist.
I don't really understand how itworked, but he blows up in the
hospital.
It's okay.
I mean, I'm not, again, I'm nota huge fan of explosions.
(22:01):
I kind of find most of themboring I think there's way more
exciting and personal ways tokill people.
So I'm better put Eugene and nottonight, but for Clear, yes.
Clear Rivers from the firstmovie.
She's the only returningcharacter from the previous
film.
She is in this one and that'show they kill her, and I don't
(22:21):
like it.
She's going and fuck the bigpicture Clint.
I'm sorry.
having a protagonist from theprevious film die with somebody
else in a kind of like boringway.
Not my gig.
I'm sorry.
Kind of disappointing.
then last but not least, forthis film we have Brian Gibbons.
Now Brian he wasn't part of the,the core group that almost died
(22:43):
in the pileup.
Brian, was saved by Rory.
He was almost hit by a car andRory pulled him outta the way.
And because of that, I guesssome, the logic of this one
doesn't fully land in my skull.
But I guess like Briantechnically cheated death
because somebody that wassupposed to be dead saved him
from dying.
(23:04):
I don't know.
But Brian, he's kind of ourclosing kill.
It's the one that happens rightbefore credits.
This one's a lot more fun thanCarter's, I think.
They're all at a barbecue.
Him, his parents, and then thetwo protagonists that survive
this film, and he blows the fuckup.
I know I just said that I don'tlike explosions.
This one is more fun than abasic explosion because, it's
(23:27):
very, it's comedic and also hisarm lands on his mom's plate
right in front of her.
It's very cheeky.
So, this isn't going to fullygo.
It's not in the bottom.
I'll put it in the middle fornow.
Girl, you tried it, but it'll belike the last one in that tier,
I think.
Let's move to final destination.
(23:48):
Three Devil's flight.
This is the rollercoaster one.
A lot of people like this one.
A lot of people say that this isone of the best ones.
I personally don't fully agree.
It's okay.
I do think rollercoasters are agood, fear.
You know, I think it'sreasonable to have, an accident
take place on this'cause a lotof people are scared of that,
(24:10):
but there's just something aboutit that isn't as satisfying to
me as Flight 180 or the pile upThere's also like some good
amount of CGI there that I'm notsuper crazy about.
Devil's flight I'm gonna put youin, girl.
You tried it, but it'll be atthe top.
I feel like that's my mostcontroversial opinion right now.
Ashley and Ashlyn.
(24:31):
Oh.
This one is fucking iconic.
I feel like if you don't knowthis one, who are you?
Ashley and Ashlyn.
This is the tanning bed one.
It's so fun.
They get trapped in a tanningbed and they burn alive, and we
get a wonderful match cut fromtheir two tanning beds.
A flame next to each other, totwo coffins next to each other
(24:52):
at a funeral.
It's fucking great.
Legendary trauma.
Mama going right on up there.
All right, Frankie Cheeks.
Frankie is, this is when westart to get into caricature
territory.
We move away from real peopleand we move towards meat bags
that you're supposed to want todie.
Every slasher.
This happens Friday the 13th,all up and down their ass.
They have just human meat bagsthat you don't relate to.
(25:15):
Frankie is one of those, he's apervert.
He ends up, getting an enginefan to the back of the head.
In a drive through a truck losescontrol falls downhill, smashes
in the truck behind him, and theengine fan comes and just like
fucks his shit up.
It's cute.
It's gory some of the, the, thebetter effects in the film.
(25:36):
I'm gonna go ahead and put itin, girl.
You tried it in our third tier.
Louis Romero in the gym.
This motherfucker, he'sweightlifting.
this is like toxic masculinity,100%.
This scene is just a bunch ofdudes just like, ah, that's the
entire scene.
some swords fall from a wall andslice the cable to the
(25:59):
weightlifting machine that he'susing and the weights fall down
and, and crush his head.
I do like head crushes.
I think it's fun.
I do think that they overusedcg, like,'cause I think they did
it practically, but they used alot of CG on top of it.
So it was just kind of like, eh,ooh.
This is also gonna go in.
Girl, you tried it in our thirdtier.
(26:19):
I feel like.
I feel like girl you tried.
It's gonna be kind of like mycatchall.
We'll see, I am probably goingto rearrange some of these.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, I'mgonna move Evan Lewis from the
second one up to, I look prettygood for a dead bitch because
compared to the other ones, uh,his is, his is quite good.
So we already had a promotion.
Erin Ulmer.
Okay, this one is fucking great.
(26:42):
This takes place in a departmentstore.
This poor girl falls backwardsonto a nail gun and just gets
nails through the back of herhead and her hands, in front of
her face and it gets likenailed.
In that position.
It's the, the way she jerks andit's, oh my God.
It's quite traumatizingactually.
And also, I mean, yeah, this isgoing in trauma.
(27:05):
Mama.
This is one of my favorites.
A personal note, my older sisterat one point looked very similar
to how Erin looks in this movie.
So that's just another layer oftrauma on this one for me is
just she looks like my sisterand I just, I can't fucking deal
with that.
So anyway, Perry Malinowski.
(27:25):
Now you may be asking yourselfwho and Yes, exactly.
Fuck the big picture.
Clint.
Perry is one of the mostforgettable deaths in this, and
it's a bummer'cause her death ispart of a twist of the film.
Like every final destination hasa, a third act twist where they
find out something, you know,they find out new information or
(27:49):
they come to a new realization.
With this one, with FinalDestination three, the whole
movie, there's like two peoplethat got off the ride that, uh,
Wendy, our lead does not.
They, she doesn't know who theyare'cause we only have the
picture of the back of them.
Come to find out that those twopeople are Wendy's sister and
her friend Perry, and we findthat out when Perry dies.
(28:14):
This is our only scene withPerry.
We got no chance to get to knowwho she is or anything.
She just gets impaled and that'sthat.
So, fuck the big picture Clint.
Uh, there wasn't really anythingimpactful about that one.
if I didn't have this listalready laid out in front of me.
I would've forgotten about her.
All right.
So Ian McKinley.
Ian McKinley.
So this is one of the firsttimes in final destination where
(28:36):
we have one of the characterstake, a pretty heavy
antagonistic stance.
And not just in like the bullykind of way, but in the life
threatening kind of way whereit's like, oh, this motherfucker
is gonna try to kill me.
That's this guy.
After his girlfriend Erin, thegirl with the nail gun dies, he
just loses his shit.
And so we're at like this countyfair or something like that.
(28:58):
And, he is kind of egging Wendyon, and I guess what they say is
he unintentionally interveneswith how Wendy was supposed to
die and takes her place.
But he gets crushed by a cherrypicker and, um.
Kind of similar to explosions.
Crushes are hit or miss with me.
This one's kind of a miss, itjust, it, it looks kind of
(29:20):
goofy.
I do like that half of his bodyslides out and he's flipping a
middle finger now that I thinkabout it.
I think it'll go, I don't know.
It's still gonna go and nottonight.
I'm not a big fan of, ofcrushing like that.
Tim's was just next level.
If it's not Tim Carpentergetting crushed, I'm probably
not interested.
Similar to how, if if it's notTerry getting hit by a bus, it's
(29:42):
just, it's not as good.
So yeah, Ian McKinley's gonna goand not tonight.
And then, ah, final Destinationthree does something new.
We end this movie with apremonition as well.
This is a train premonitionWendy, and like the other two
surviving people, are all on asubway in New York City and the
train crashes.
simply due to proximity bias, Iam gonna put the train in our
(30:06):
second tier.
I look pretty good for a deadbitch because I think about this
a lot.
I think about whether or not thetrain I'm on is going to derail
or crash, and it does kind ofscare the bejesus outta me.
oh, And this also, it's, it'sshown to us as a premonition,
but it's also implied that itdoes happen there's no way that
Wendy and her friends could havegotten off the train before this
(30:29):
happened because it happens toher while she's on the train,
the premonition.
So it's implied that our threemain characters are three
survivors.
Die in this train accident.
Julie gets crushed by a tire,not a tire, a wheel, a train
wheel.
That one's okay.
I'll probably just put it in nottonight.
Even though I do love Amandacrew, she plays Julie.
(30:49):
Kevin, however his is great.
The train's like tilted and he'sagainst the window and he ends
up falling through the windowand just basically gets grounds
to death, like hamburger meat.
That's another thing that Ithink about.
If I'm ever leaning against thetrain doors, I worry so badly
that they're gonna open whilethe train is moving and I'm
gonna fall out and fucking die.
Kevin's gonna go and I lookpretty good for a dead bitch
(31:09):
'cause that is a legitimate fearof mine.
And then Wendy, hers is prettyterrifying.
The train crashes and she endsup alive outside of the train on
the train tracks.
And then she ends up getting hitby another train.
So that one I'll put in, I'llput it in.
Girl, you tried it just becausewe don't get to see anything
happen really.
as much as I would love to skipthis next movie, I have to be a
(31:35):
good journalist and I have tocover it.
Final destination four.
The final destination plottwist.
Most of these are gonna go andfuck the big picture.
Cleanse the Speedway accident.
Now there is something that Ilike about a big accident,
happening in an arena or like avenue or something like that,
because that is scary, gettinglost in a crowd and stuff like
(31:56):
that.
But just, I don't like theeffects.
I don't find NASCAR specificallyrelatable.
And this is my least favoritemovie, the franchise.
So the Speedway is gonna go in,fuck the big picture.
Clint.
Nadia, Nadia's, the first one todie.
She dies actually just outsideof the speedway after everybody
escapes.
(32:16):
She gets crushed by a tire.
And this one's kind of fun.
I don't fully hate this one.
It looks kind of goofy when shegets hit, but the aftermath is
quite excellent.
So because of that, she's notgonna go and fuck the big
picture.
I'll put her one above.
She's gonna go a knot tonight.
All right.
Carter Daniels the racist guy.
(32:38):
So this is when, I'm just gonnasay this now.
Final Destination four.
There is not a single likablecharacter in this movie.
I'm sorry, there's not, there'ssome that may come close, but
generally.
I don't like any of thesecharacters.
Carter is the worst of them.
He is a Dixie whistling racistmotherfucker who ends up getting
(32:59):
lynched outside of this blackguy's house.
'cause he was gonna put like a,a flaming cross on his lawn or
something.
It's, while I appreciate thepoetic justice of it all, the
thing about final destination isit's at its best when the death
scenes are relatable, whenthey're rooted in like a
legitimate everyday fear.
(33:19):
Not everybody is going to beputting flaming crosses on
people's lawns.
I mean, I don't know, half thecountry's probably doing that
right now at this point, giventhe political climate.
But I digress.
I just don't think it's.
A relatable death scene.
And I hate this character andnot in the fun way.
So fuck the big picture.
(33:39):
Clint, Samantha Lane, she's amother.
So Samantha is at a salon andthere's a lot of stuff happening
in this space.
The hairspray touches the flatiron and it looks like it's
about to explode.
This is leaking and the chair isgonna fall, and this, the
Clippers and the fan looks likeit's gonna fall from the
ceiling.
And there's so much going on andnone of it ends up actually
(34:00):
being what kills her.
What does kill her is a rock.
Yeah, a rock.
There's somebody mowing a lawnacross the street.
They run over a rock and it goesthrough her eye.
It's a bit kitschy.
It's not the worst in this film,but it's not great.
It's gonna go a knot tonight.
Andy.
So Andy first off, is kind of ababe.
He's pretty hot.
(34:20):
He's daddy.
But apart from that, his deathis not that spectacular.
It looks goofy as fuck.
He, he's like a mechanic and apressurized gas tank ends up
shooting out from the garage andpushes him through a fence and
he gets chopped up into littlepieces or something.
It looks terrible.
It's not, it's not great.
And again, it's one of thosewhere, it's not really a
(34:43):
relatable everyday fear.
So,, Andy is also gonna go andfuck the big picture Clint,
despite the fact that I wouldfuck him.
hunt.
Hunt is probably one of theleast likable characters in this
film too, however.
He has, the best real deathscene in this movie.
His is something that I wasafraid of that I have read news
reports about happening.
(35:04):
He's the motherfucker that getsstuck, at the bottom of a pool,
at the pool drain.
He gets suctioned down, as firstonto a broken pool drain.
And he ends up gettingdisemboweled his insides become
outsides, legitimate fear.
Pretty well shot.
I think it's a fun sequence.
We're gonna put that one in.
Girl, you tried it.
Jonathan Groves again.
You may be asking me crybaby.
(35:25):
Who?
And.
Yes.
Fuck the big picture, Clint.
Who is this guy?
I'm telling you, if I did not doresearch before this, I would,
he would not be on this list.
He'd be with Perry.
But this is like a cowboymotherfucker who was not part of
the main friend group.
But he was supposed to die inthe accident.
Didn't die in the accident.
He's in the hospital when hedies.
(35:46):
A bathtub in the room above him,like overflows and the tub falls
through the ceiling and likecrushes him or something.
It's, it's whatever.
It's not satisfying at all.
This was also supposed to belike a twist of the movie.
'Cause they didn't know that hewas on desk list.
I don't know.
It's, it's not great.
Ah, the theaters so much.
Like with Final Destinationthree, Our main character Nick.
(36:09):
Has a premonition about anexplosion at a movie theater in
the mall, again, I don't likeexplosions, but the saving grace
by a mile of this premonition.
Is the escalator.
In the explosion, the escalatorjust falls apart and you just
have the gears grinding andworrying, and one of the
characters gets sucked into theescalator.
(36:30):
Also, a legitimate fear.
So because of that, I'm gonnaput this in, girl, you tried it,
it's not gonna go any higherthan that, the escalator alone
is why it's there.
Otherwise it would be much,much, much lower.
George Lanter, he's the securityguard at the Speedway, and he
gets hit by a speeding ambulanceala Terry Cheney Nowhere near as
(36:51):
satisfying, nowhere near asshocking.
He is probably the most likablecharacter and there's nothing
satisfying about how he goesout.
So fuck the big picture, Clint.
And then finally we have Janet,Lori, and Nick.
So these three, they're thethree survivors of the initial
wave of, of death's list.
they're also a post creditdeath.
(37:13):
They're sitting in a coffee shopand a semi-truck crashes through
the window and kills them, butwe don't see it.
We do see, however, some MortalKO looking ass X-rays of their
skeletons breaking and crackingand how they died, which I think
is a clever way to work aroundnot having the budget to have
(37:34):
like an elaborate death scenefor these three characters.
So because of that, I will giveit some points, for creativity,
but it's still not wonderfulit's not quite, fuck the big
picture clan.
I'll put it in not tonight.
Simply because as somebody whohas worked, on film and had a
micro budget, I can appreciate aresourceful solution, to not
(37:56):
having money to do what youwant.
So there's that.
So now we're on to finaldestination.
Five.
This film felt like a return toform, especially after the
steaming pile of shite that wasthe final destination.
God, I'm probably being too hardon that movie.
I mean, it's still fun.
It's just the worst one of them.
(38:17):
I'll be nicer, I promise.
But whatever.
This isn't about that oneanymore.
We're onto final DestinationFive, and that film kicks off
with a bridge collapse.
Um, baby, this one's prettygood.
After the Speedway incident, andno offense to the rollercoaster,
but this one it had scale to it,it was much bigger and much more
(38:37):
terrifying.
Again, I walk across theWilliamsburg Bridge all the
fucking time.
It's something that is in mymind what if this bridge goes
down?
I'm gonna put this one and Ilook pretty good for a dead
bitch.
It's a wonderful premonitionscene.
one of the highlights is one ofthe characters kind of like
almost falls off the bridge andhe's holding onto the side.
(38:58):
And then this, va of hot tarspills all over him.
Oh my God, it's awful.
So good.
It's a great way to start offthis movie.
Candace Hooper girl, girl.
She's going right up to trauma.
Mama.
This sequence is fuckingwonderful.
Candace is, it's the gymnasticsone, And I know what you're
(39:18):
thinking.
Cry baby.
Gymnastics isn't an accessiblefear.
Like not everybody doesgymnastics.
I don't care.
Alright, I'm gonna be ahypocrite here for a second.
This sequence is a masterclassin tension.
It's a masterclass inmisdirection.
Oh, there's so much happening.
You have water leaking, an openelectrical wire.
a little screw on the gymnasticsbalance beam.
(39:42):
you're watching this characternavigate all that, wondering
what it's going to be that'sgoing to take her out.
what ends up happening, it'snone of those.
Her teammate ends up stepping onthat screw on the balance Beam
knocks over a bowl of chalk intoa fan and it blows into
Candace's face while she's onthe, the high bar.
And she ends up flipping allkinds of crazy and just cracks
(40:04):
her spine like it's seeing ahuman body do.
What hers did It's so good.
So Trauma.
Mama.
Isaac Palmer.
He's, he's a sleazeball, he'skind of in the same category as
like Frankie from the thirdmovie.
pervy and gross and, He dies ina massage parlor he gets
(40:24):
acupuncture.
He falls off the table and theneedles go all up into his skin.
The place catches on fire, buthe ends up, going out by his
head, his head gets crushed bythis big Buddhist statue that
falls off of the wall, which iskind of a nice button.
It's not amazing by any means,but it's, it's fine.
It's serviceable.
but I just, I don't like how heis.
(40:46):
It's gonna go a knot tonight.
I'm sorry.
The way he died wasn'tsatisfying enough.
I know that sounds weird, but itjust wasn't.
Next Olivia Castle.
first off, what a babe.
She's gorgeous.
I wanna look like that.
Throwing that out there.
But she, is the LASIK one.
She's getting LASIK surgery andthe machine goes haywire and
just starts fucking her eye upshe ends up escaping the
(41:10):
machine, but she ends uptripping and falling out the
window to her death.
This one's tricky because I likethe LASIK of it all.
I don't like the falling out ofthe window part of it as much.
I'm gonna put it in girl, youtried it, uh, just right in the
middle.
I think that's appropriate whereit belongs.
Roy Carson.
to rewind every movie, they'retrying to figure out how to
(41:32):
cheat death and how to, how tobeat death's design, and none of
'em really do.
But in this movie, thecharacters find out that a way
to cheat death is to killsomebody.
And by killing somebody, theytake their time, whatever time
they had left on their life, andthey will no longer be on
death's list.
So what happens with Roy?
We have Nathan, who was next ondeath's list, he's like a
(41:56):
foreman in like this factory.
And he gets into a fight with,with Roy and it kind of becomes
this yelling, shoving match.
And Nathan.
Shoves Roy in the way of afalling hook that was meant for
him.
Roy ends up getting the hookthrough the, the chin and the
head.
So death skips Nathan.
This one's pretty good.
(42:16):
It's pretty gross.
I'm gonna pop it and girl, youtried it.
We don't have much of aconnection to him, so it's just
more so because this is how wefind out.
That killing somebody actuallydoes work.
It allows you to be skippedbecause, instead of Nathan dying
next, we jump straight toDennis.
This one's pretty fun.
It's a very fast one, kind ofcheeky because after Roy dies
(42:38):
they're asking, well, like,who's next, who's next?
And then a wrench falls off ofsomewhere, and gets flung into
Dennis's face.
And it just absolutely crusheshim and it looks disgusting.
So I'm gonna pop that one.
I think I'm also gonna put thatone in.
Girl, you tried it'cause it'slike, it's fine.
Hold on, I'm gonna take a secondand I'm gonna, I'm gonna
evaluate real quick.
Yeah, Dennis is gonna go andgrill.
(42:59):
You tried it.
Oh, we're actually, we'remissing a character here.
It doesn't matter'cause itwould've gone and fuck the big
picture client.
But there's a cop.
There's like a detective thatgets shot.
He has nothing to do with any ofthese characters.
He's not on desk list oranything.
He gets shot by Peter.
So just so you know, I was gonnathrow him on fuck the big
picture Clint, but whatever.
I guess I don't have to worryabout that now.
(43:19):
next up we have Peter.
Peter is another character thatgoes into antagonist territory.
'Cause the thing is Molly, Sam'sgirlfriend.
Never died in the premonition.
She was always safe.
She was not on death's list.
She was fine.
Peter was not happy about this.
As soon as his girlfriendCandace died in the gymnastics
situation, he loses his shit andhe wants to play God and he
(43:41):
wants to kill Molly to takewhatever time she had left so he
can survive.
So he tries to kill her, butPeter gets skewered, with just
like a meat skewer.
'cause they're in a restaurantwhen this happens.
fuck the big picture, Clint.
Molly and Sam, so spoiler ruler,This is when we find out that
final destination five was aprequel.
(44:04):
Because Molly and Sam end up onFlight 180 from the first movie,
and that's how they die.
So, because of that, because itwas such a delicious twist and I
just loved seeing it happen,Molly and Sam are both gonna go
up on, I look pretty good for adead bitch.
'cause it was just verysatisfying, to see that come
full circle.
Nathan is our last one.
(44:25):
He's the guy that pushed Roy infront of that hook.
Again, it's kind of like a, alast minute pre-credit kill.
he's in the bar for Roy'smemorial and we find out that
Roy had uh, an enlarged bloodvessel in his brain or
something, and he was gonna dieany day.
And so Nathan's like, oh shit.
And as soon as he has thatrealization, a wheel from Flight
(44:49):
180 after it explodes, crashesthrough the bar and crushes him.
It's okay.
Again, I'm not the biggest fanof crushing.
Um, I do like that littlecheekiness of him not really
being in the clear.
So I'm just gonna put it in, nottonight.
It's not the worst, but it's notthe best.
Alright, finally, we are finallyat bloodlines.
(45:11):
So last call, if you haven'tseen bloodlines yet.
Once again, I highly recommendseeing this movie in theaters.
It is so much fucking fun.
I had a blast.
And we're gonna start with theSkyview Tower.
This is the premonition, theopening premonition.
And when I say that this is a, ahuge contender for my favorite
premonition, my favorite,disaster.
(45:32):
I'm obsessed with this.
It's, it takes place in this,tower restaurant and just a
bunch of shit goes wrong wherelike, the entire tower, crumbles
apart and everyone dies.
Like You have people fallingthrough this glass dance floor
to the ground below.
a gas leak and there's anexplosion.
There's a woman that's, set onfire, which by the way, set a
(45:52):
record for the oldest person toever do a fire, fire stunt, then
yeah, you have the tower justsplitting in two and falling
apart.
It's fucking great.
This is definitely going intrauma, mama, especially because
I am very afraid of heights.
So this hit a special cord withme Anytime I'm on a skyscraper,
that's the shit that crosses mymind.
(46:13):
Next we have Iris Campbell.
She's the one that had thevision and with the Skyview
Tower, It's not like the othermovies where only a couple of
people survived.
No, nobody died.
So we're talking hundreds ofpeople on, or I'm not, I don't
know if it's a hundred, but nota lot of people were on death's
list.
Iris she was the second to lastperson to die in the
(46:35):
premonition.
So it took death a long time toget to her.
She's a grandma now, and she'sbeen in hiding because she knows
what's up.
She's trying to save her family.
But her granddaughter, Stephaniewent to visit her because
Stephanie has been having dreamsof this premonition.
So that's a lot of backstory.
Anyway, Iris, she ends up dying,in a weird way.
One of those weather veins onher roof ends up falling down
(47:00):
and, lands on the end of a fireextinguisher and gets launched
into the back of her head.
it's pretty shocking, but it'salso like, we kind of knew it
was coming because, she toldStephanie like, okay, if you
don't believe me that this ishappening, just step back and
watch what happens.
I mean, it was pretty gross.
It wasn't like super rooted in arealistic fear, I don't think.
But, I liked it.
(47:21):
I'll put it in.
I look pretty good for a deadbitch.
It was pretty gory.
Howard Campbell.
So this is Iris's oldest son.
He's the next to die.
Now this one, uh, Woodstocks isthis death scene They pretty
much showed how everything wasgonna happen during the trailer
for this film.
they're at a barbecue.
He ends up stepping on a pieceof glass and falling backwards
(47:43):
exactly as a rogue lawnmower.
runs over his face.
There's a whole sequence ofevents that leads up to it, but,
it's a great scene.
I do wish that they didn't ruinit in the trailer because I feel
like it's one of the stronger.
Death scenes in this movie, butthat doesn't dilute the fact
that it's great.
It's very fun to watch and it's,it's pretty gory and lawnmowers.
(48:03):
There's just something aboutlawnmowers to the face that's
like, oh, I'm looking at yousinister.
Howard, he's gonna go on.
I I look pretty good for a deadbitch.
It's gonna be up there.
It's great.
Julia Campbell, so this is hisdaughter.
this one's a very funny one.
'Cause essentially how she dieswas predicted by Stephanie, She
ends up in the back of a,garbage truck and she gets
crushed.
The effects don't look superwonderful on this, but, I don't
(48:26):
know.
I, I really like this actress.
I can't remember her name.
It's like Anna something.
She, she was great.
This scene was funny and youknow, the back of a garbage
truck.
There's kind of a soft spot inmy heart.
I think a lot about child's playThree.
That's one of my favorite deathsfrom that movie.
And it's just fun.
this is also gonna go and I lookpretty good for a dead bitch.
This could also just be recencybias.
(48:47):
I don't know.
We will reevaluate.
Next up Eric Campbell.
best character in this movie,hands down.
I do want to fuck him, but thathas nothing to do with it.
He's just, he's so funny.
He is so fucking funny.
He's also a tattoo artist andtatted, so of course like I'm
gonna love that shit.
But how he dies is very fun.
(49:10):
It's an MRI machine the MRImachine goes haywire and it
starts ripping out all of hispiercings, which as somebody who
has piercings and who has hadpiercings unintentionally ripped
out of my body.
That struck a special nerve withme.
then he ends up getting, pinnedto the entry of the MRI machine
with the wheelchair and likegetting snapped in half and
(49:32):
pulled through the the MRImachine hole.
It's gory, it's wonderful.
It's trauma, mama.
It's gonna go right up there.
Bobby Campbell, his brother dieslike immediately right after,
Bobby is allergic to peanuts.
So this whole time, they weretrying to cheat death by giving
him an allergic reaction andthen bringing him back to life
to break the chain.
Obviously doesn't work becauseEric ends up getting killed
(49:54):
before he gets a chance to dothat.
And then immediately after theMRI machine pulls this spring
from a vending machine rightinto his head and it looks
pretty good.
I'm trying to see if it's, Ifelt like it was a little
underwhelming, but it's becauseit literally comes 30 seconds
after one of the, the best deathscenes in this movie.
So, I'm gonna try not to letthat color my judgment here.
(50:15):
It's still pretty good.
Bobby is a likable, all thecharacters are likable.
and it's, It was nice and itwasn't predictable.
It was.
Quite subversive with a sense ofhumor.
So I'm gonna put you and I lookpretty good for a dead bitch.
Bobby, that was pretty fun.
we're in our last three,Darlene, Stephanie and Charlie.
Oh, Darlene.
(50:36):
Darlene, Darlene, Darlene.
So here's the thing, I have abone to pick all this time
there's been talk about howfinal destination was finally
gonna have a death with arevolving door, They even showed
it in the trailer.
They showed little teasers of,of Darlene getting stuck in the
revolving door.
There was none of that in thismovie.
Apparently what had happened wasthey shot that and then they
(50:59):
decided that they didn't want tokill her off so soon in the
movie and they wanted to giveher a little bit more time to
get a redemption arc with herkids.
'cause she's estranged from herchildren.
I get it, I get the, thestorytelling of that.
But I am so disappointed that,that's not how she died.
She ends up dying, in, wellthere's like this explosion at
(51:20):
Iris's, little safe compound.
She kind of saves her kids fromdying in that explosion.
and then she immediately getscrushed and we know how I feel
about crushing.
So I'm sorry, Darlene.
Fuck the big picture Clint.
We could have had a super badassrevolving door death and we got.
Crushed, whatever.
Stephanie and Charlie, so thisis at the very end.
(51:43):
a train nearby derails andalmost runs them down.
it stops before it crushes themand then a logging truck somehow
ends up coming over that and thelogs fall down and crush them.
It's cheeky because of thelogging truck.
I don't like the effects as muchon this one as I would like to.
(52:06):
It also just the entire thirdact of this movie feels a little
rushed to me and this is kind ofpart of it.
That's my biggest thing withthis movie which makes sense
'cause they rewrote it andre-shot it for Darlene.
But, our main characters goingout at the end of the film, it's
not the worst thing.
But it's not the best.
I'm gonna put them in Knot toKnot and that's that.
Holy shit, that took forever.
(52:28):
Thank you for being here withme.
And that.
Yeah, that's it.
That's our ranking of the finaldestination deaths from the
first one all the way throughbloodlines.
Let me know what you think.
I would love to hear what someof your favorite deaths are.
If you don't agree with me,please let me know.
Also this is probably going tochange.
This is a living, breathingdocument.
(52:50):
Mama.
I'm a Gemini.
All right.
I may feel this way right now.
Tomorrow might be a completelydifferent thing.
So, yeah, that's what I got.
Tell me what you think.
until next time, cuties, don'tbe scared unless you're into
that sort of thing.
Bye.
