Speaker 1 (00:34):
What's Up?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And welcome back to thirteen thirty nine. I'm your host,
mister Ripper, and as always, I have my little co
host here with me, the one, the only, the man,
the myth, the legend, the only one that's ever been
mistaken in the big.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Foot twice at Virginia B. Todd of Thunderounder.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
What's Up and the quies and we're here here with
your top ten best of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You've heard the worst, now let's hear the best, the
best of the best. The cream of.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The krub is a mocho man once said back in
the day. So I think you're gonna be a little
shocked with our top ten list twenty twenty four. Horror
movies were really good. One they were really good, and
it was a lot. And to reiterate that, we've.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Seen sixty two movies around that one.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, Todd, your list was about it sixty two also,
right right, yeah, right there.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
This was probably the hardest that I think I've ever
had to do.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It was really difficult because there were so many, you know,
cult knows that I loved him about five, but there
were so many good ones that it was it was
very difficult on what I put above another.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
A lot of.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Movies this year thirteen thirty one. Over here we have
been kind of against the grain, so to speak. Everything
that everybody praised, we kind of was scratching our head
and everything that people shouted.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
On we loved.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
A lot of people hated Alien and we loved it,
and some people hated Terrifyer and some people hated immaculately.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
And for some reason, Late Night kept getting shitted on
a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I just I don't know why, understand why I'm going
to be the one to kick off this top ten
because Missus Lanta did not want to go first, not it.
So at number ten, I have one that I think
got slept on a lot. I didn't hear anybody else
(02:28):
talk about this movie except for us, and that's Low Life.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Low Life.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It was a to be exclusive and it's one movie
that I think should have went to the theaters. We did
a review on it because we loved it that much. Normally,
if it's a streaming movie, it's got to kind of
get a blessing from all three, like holy shit, we
got to talk about this movie.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And I think that's the only streaming one in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
We did I saw did that one go to theaters?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That was in theaters? Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, they should switch those.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
They should have paid I think they paid people to
talk about that movie.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Whatever. So that's my nine ten, Miss Lanta. What do
you have for your number ten?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I have a movie that some may not actually consider horror,
but it falls in that horror genre to me, and
I loved it so much. I watched it three times
in one and that is Your Monster.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's a goody, that's a fun time.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I was very surprised how much I liked it because
Melissa Barrera.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Sucks, but this was I felt like this was her
kind of role, like she she fit really well in
that kind of horror comedy, silly elspet like characters.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I agree with that, and it kind of ruin what
what good I had in watching Screen five and six,
because we watched Your Monster and then we went back
and rewatched Scream five and six. I don't know why
to watch it, but I just wanted to go back
and revisit it, especially six, because me and Thunder paid
six and we wanted to make sure that we were justified,
(04:00):
and we were Melissa Barrera seemed to be a lot
more shittier than I remember after watching Your Monster.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But she was good in Your Monster, So that's weird
how I feel about that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I think maybe she's just one of those actresses that
just does better in a less less serious role.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Probably maybe maybe funters from down up chair.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Well my number ten, First of all, I like both
of those choices. At number ten, you guys got just
watched Your Monster the other day with you, and it
was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I liked it. I mean, I have no complaints. I
definitely agree that.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yeah, scream Ream six on a third, fourth watch or
how many times I watch it still sucks even probably worse.
It doesn't get better as I watch it, as some
movies do.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
This one doesn't. We were just hooking holes the whole time. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Anyway, Low Life was really good to shout out to
that neither one of them in my top ten.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
My number ten is you guys might be shot. It's
it's NOSPARAUTI.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Whoa number ten?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Number ten? It made the top ten, So that's cool. Well,
you know, I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I had ten movies that I gave the same score to,
so I had to really crunch down on the last
two spots, which is basically I had to choose my
best two out of those ten.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That did not make the list.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Of eight of them, I had to be likeugh, but
but yeah, I like Nosparato enough to make it one
of those movies that just made me.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
By the way, Low Lives.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Came in at number eleven eleven, it was hard for
me making my top ten two because I didn't give
it a fives out. Actually this year, after going through
my list and everything, so my top six is like
all five.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You know how many fives? I gave? Five? So you
gave one more than I did. What was you saying?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I didn't count exactly how me I gave, but I
know I gave a lot. And I'm curious to see
because this is my first year really doing ratings for movies,
so I'm curious if I'm going to buckle down there
be a little more hesitant to give those next year.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Here I am am yeah, and I will say that
my top ten, I really am proud of it, because,
like I said, the first five or all fives, the
next three or all four and a half, nine and
ten are both fours, So I will say that all
of these movies I think are excellent in my top ten.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Oh nice, nice, nice.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Well, my number nine is another straight to streaming service movie.
Okay that I'm really mad you go to theaters. But
it's mister Crockett. Cockett, mister Crockett, mister Crockett.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And these streaming movies came out of nowhere, like we
really didn't know anything about them. We just saw I'm like, oh,
what's this, we'll watch it.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, surprise.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Mister Crockett was so fucking good, so refreshing, a great
new twist on kind of stuff we're familiar with.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
We're kind of familiar with. You know that.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Quirky TV character that's a killer, but it's never been
done to this extent, And we really haven't had a
kid serial killer since Freddy Kucko that was was done well.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, I guess you could count I Reckon chuck.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You maybe, yeah, But he focused on adults, mister Crockett,
and Kruger was kind of focused on kids and teenagers.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
If you want you, I guess you first. Yeah, is
is kind of ye.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I mean, it's definitely more Nightmare on ELM Street is
because it's in that fantasy world type of deal, and
you are trying to, like, you know, draw in the
kids to kind of you know, turn them against the parents,
and you know, I'm your friend.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
To the union exactly. We didn't review this movie.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We just couldn't get around to it because it came
out at a time everything, everything was fucking dropping, and
unfortunately it fell short.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You know, I feel like we still killed to do an
episode on it. It's worth it because it was so
good it is.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I want this to be a franchise. I really do.
I want so, mister Crockett. I don't know what it
is about this. I thought the special effects were good,
practical effects. The acting was flawless, like just flawless act acting.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
If you get a chance to watch it, I think,
who is it Hulu?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I can't remember what.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I think it's on Hulo? Anyway, look at mister Crockett.
This is definitely worth a time. I could not not
put it in my toxicens. Miss Landa, what's your number nine?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well? My number nine. We also did not see in theaters,
but I can't remember if it was a theater release.
But I had a great old time with it, and
that was an oddity.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
No, I think it was. It was theater.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Briefly, but but I don't think our theater got it.
Maybe that's why we didn't go see it. Yeah, But
adity for me was it's really really difficult for a
movie to get me gar and like my heart's racing
and I'm like on the edge of my seat genuinely,
and this movie fucking did it.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I thought the movie was done very well. It was
my number eleven of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
it was almost in.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
The top ten.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Well, I don't think you've ever seen me react the
way that I reacted to that movie to anything else.
I was very like, like, oh my gosh, maybe the Strangers.
Maybe yeah, the Strangers.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You were quite freaked out about.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
That because in both of those it's really I mean,
there is that light supernatural aspect to Audity, but it's
a person, and that's what that's what gets me is
when it's when it's a person.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
It had one of the best intense feelings in a while.
It done that very well.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It was really good.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I think that's the thing with the top ten is
that you're gonna notice for me is I'm kind of
going off of original I guess more this year because
everything was done so well. So I'm looking at like
you had the better creative ideas and what was done,
you know, just a little bit better, what was a
little bit more original.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's why Audity was right there.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I mean between like Lowlights and mister Crocket, low Lights
was it was quite original, but it wounded up being original. Yeah,
that's the great thing I like about Low Lives, Like
we've seen cannibals before, but they flipped the script on
you and the good families, the Cannibal family and the
quote unquote rednecks are good people. They kind of do
(10:27):
a Tucker and Dale versus evil twist on you, and
I really like that.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
But mister Thunder, what is your My number nine is immaculate?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Immaculate.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, it's surprised me because when this movie came out,
I wasn't looking forward to the subject matter because I'm
so fucking over the whole None demon ship. But this
one one of the best of the bunch this year.
I don't know, man, I was really impressed. I felt
on it about this movie. It was kind of familiar
(10:58):
how all the church movies go, but it was a
little bit more faster paced, and it really didn't kind
of slow down to where I'm like, god, this movie's dragging.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
It was a lot of like weird shit in it
that I was like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I like it, so it was good.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I wasn't feeling it at the time, and unfortunately I
didn't get to go back and ever watch it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
But I had Immaculate at number twelve.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, yeah, but I loved about Immaculate, or one of
the things that I loved about Immaculate was that it really,
you know, like I said, we kind of were expecting
it to be the typical noun possession movie and it
wasn't that, and that was refreshing to get something different
very much.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So good Lord go against the Green. That's what I say,
speaking of Nune isn't going against the Green. One that
very much surprised me was the first Omen, and that's
my number eight rate. That movie shouldn't have been as
good as it was, honestly, Okay, So Immaculate and first
Omen is very neck and neck and storyline it's almost
(11:59):
like like like very very close even came out, but
we figured out like three weeks apart or something like
that one was in March. One was in April, like
the end of March morning, Yeah, which is crazy. The
first OMEN, I felt like, not out of the park.
It was just so fucking good and unexpected. You know,
a lot of a lot of prequel movies we get
(12:19):
you kind of dread because because they're not really really
done good often and this movie you just just fucking
nail did it. Like it was so good and I
was very pleasantly surprised. I love the cinematography in it.
I love the route they went with it. I love
how they tied it in with the OMEN at the
(12:40):
end of the movie. It was just done very very well.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well. But Miss Lanta Alana, what do you have.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
A number eight? We have spoken about already, but I
have number eight?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh okay. We didn't dive too much into it to it.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, well I know, and I don't feel like we
need to. We did do until you know, a podcast
episode on it. But it was another one where we
were but just kind of scrolling through see what was
on streaming came across and we're like, we're like, okay,
but a try. And it had a nice sight twist
to it. The story was great, the acting was great,
everything about it. I thoroughly enjoyed, even even the way
(13:13):
that we did the ending, which if anyone who's not
seen it, I don't want to scroll anything but go
go watch it or go lit over episode.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And said, yeah, thunder my number eight. I have the
substuf set number eight. Yeah. Yes, we did a podcast
on the substance. Yeah, good old fashioned body horror.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Kind of one of those films where for me personally
just came out of nowhere, you know, didn't really get
any hype on the movie, but I watched it and
it blew me away. I loved the film, so I
have had it number well, piggybacking off the weight.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We just said, go your own way off, I'm gonna
piggy on your back because my number seven is the
sub simpsonce.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It's been a very long time since we've got such
a good body horror movie. And the storyline was just
done so well. The acting was just top tier.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Here. You know, it's good to see an old face
in a new film.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, exactly. I went into this movie blind. I didn't
see a trailer, I didn't see anything for this movie.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Movie. I actually didn't know anything about it.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Now thinking about it, and I think that's why I
preached so much before. The best way to watch a movie,
for the most part is blind.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Like you can take it all in. I think that's
why it got so high.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
On my list is because it was just like, Wow,
this has done so fucking well.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Practical effects are amazing, scores amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It just knocked it out of the mark. It was
a shame that we didn't get to see it in theaters.
That's the only thing I really hated about it. It
was too big on. That was nitpicky. But the rest
of it is just absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
A to watch.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If you haven't watched it, you need to watch the subs.
So miss Lanta, what do you have your number seven?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
My number seven is Long Legs.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Wow, Okay, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
The originality of it was incredible. Nicholas Cage is fantastic
what he does basically from here on out. I had
a real, real, real hard time with the order. Some
of them I feel like are kind of interchangeable depending
on my mood. Dude in a way a way, so
I don't want to me putting at number seven of it.
I think I think lower of it it was. It
was absolutely amazing, very unique, very unnerving. I had a
(15:34):
blast with it. But number seven is Thunder Thunder.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
My number seven is a sequel and it's Terrifire.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Three, Hooky do Art the clownn Arthur Clown.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I will boost all the time about how we love
this series, that we love this franchise.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We can have fun with all the movies.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Tear Fire three did not disappoint honestly, what I got
I was.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I mean, I just wanted.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
To be grossed out, just good old fashioned, over the
top slasher film, and that's exactly what we got. Of course,
you know have that hangar of an ending where it's
just like, yeah, fours coming got away. Though, yeah, I
would say that. You know, I think two is still
my favorite, but three is right there, literally right behind
(16:23):
it on my list as well.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I think that two.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And three is going to be like Halloween one and
two for me is going to be so interchangeable depending
on the day in my mood.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
But speaking on the mood, my.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Number six is no Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
No Saratu had a very haunting, beautiful atmosphere with a
great story. A more in depth look into the No
Sparatu character that we haven't really ever gotten in one
hundred years.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Just snelt it, I think, I said I.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But we as a podcast all agree that it was awesomeome.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
It was beautiful. It was the most visually stunning on
movie that I've seen in a long time time.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I know this movie for people is either they like
it they really don't like it. It's not really in between,
because even the people I hear about, there's so much
negatively in the end to where I really feel like
it falls into they really don't like it. They're just
trying not to bash it because it was done so well.
(17:36):
It's not like it was a be ready movie and
you can do ship on it beginning get in it was.
It was very old done and I like it and
it's gonna be a rewatch when it comes out. But
miss Landa, what.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Do you have a have a sex number?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I had here with Hugh yourself out?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Wow? Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I think so many of them that are on my
top ten were ones that kind of surprise because Heretic
was seemingly going that religious route, and I just I
felt like they did such a good job of changing
what you were expecting.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It to be.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
It was not exactly how the trailer portrayed, right.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Mister Thunder, what do you have it here? At number six?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I got the first omenment, Like I enjoyed this one
as well. This movie was either really going to be
good or really gonna suck, And honestly it ended up
being probably the best Omen film since the first film. Yeah,
considering this is the first, but yeah, I mean it
(18:37):
was shocking, right right, Yeah, And it was What I
really loved about this is, you know, this is an
old time franchise. They can make money just off of
the name itself. Yes, it's been around since the late
seventies or whatever. They wasn't afraid to go far in
this film and be disgusting and be shocking and be
just even more than any of their Omen film they
(19:00):
came before it.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, it's crazy that it actually got love and respect
and treated. You get that often with sequels or prequels.
That's why it's on me and Todds. Yeah, top ten
because we love the Omen and this movie. It made
me happy watching it and it did what Immaculate did
(19:22):
because I said, you know, it's kind of the same
things going on. But I think the first woman just
did it better?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I think the reason I put the OMEN a little
bit above immaculate is that the OMEN, like I said,
was a franchise, and a lot of times you get
movies in a franchise that the filmmakers want to protect
and not not give so much, want to be basic
with it, you know, because they're scared of sucking it up.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But this one it was like, yeah, throw that, yeah, baby,
coming out of the JOHNA.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You're going to see it. Yeah, demon CDs. Now it's
time to get to the top five of twenty to
twenty four, the Grand Finale, the Big Five, and at
number five I have alien rodulous. I know a lot
of people I've seen on the interwebs said it was
(20:17):
okay or didn't care for it. I didn't see a
lot of people boasting about it, and to them, I
don't know, we did not watch the same film film.
This to me is the best sense of the first
two to hands down. I don't know how you can
put this movie down and say it's disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
And two or I mean three or four is better.
I think this movie.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Is on par with Part two, and I think Part
two is the best one, So I don't understand the hate,
and I want more rain. And we wanted an alien
movie that returned to horror, back in space, characters that
we can get behind a good story and fucking aliens.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
And we got it.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We got practical effects with actual people back.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
In xenomorph suits. It was perfect. You know, haters gonna
have whatever. Ever this what's your five?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well my number five? Alien Romulus? Okay, which which this
was really fun for me. We did this a couple
of times this year. Alien was one I had never
seen anything in the franchise. Yeah, every single one.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
We had a marathon right before we watched the big,
big Alien Romulust on the big screen.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yes, which was so fun. Obviously my first one on
the big screen screen. But that was fun for me
and I feel like having had just watched them all
and it all being so fresh in my mind. Alien Romulus,
I agree with you, is right there with Alien and
Alien two.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It is right there with aliens. Agree agree, funter, what
is when you're big five? Number five? My number five
is heretic? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Again, I wasn't expecting much much because I hate you Grant, so.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, you were not looking forward to this movie. No.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I thought this movie was going to fucking such balls, honestly,
But I'll tell you why I like it. It had
a very unique, quirky kind of sense of humor to
it when it could have played it straight. And if
it would have played it straight, I probably would have
hated this movie because it was so goddamn quirky with
the way the characters were.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Bouncing off of each other. That is what made this
movie highly entertaining. I had to put it in my.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Top five and it was super refreshing to see Hugo movie.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
He fit that character so well.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And I must add, just because it's quirky doesn't mean
that it's not serious or it was a comedy or
anything like that.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
It wasn't. It was It was.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
A film that A twenty four tries to make. They
try to make these off the wall, quirky characters and
it all kind of falls flat.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
To me. This is how you may make it. Yeah,
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You can have some characters that are charming and quirky,
but they're not good people. It's it's very hard to
understand you're you're getting behind a person that.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Is a little off as crazy as hell, but he's nice.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, but you're doing It's kind of like he's like
a real life Mormon. It's like if you've ever watched Creek,
well we really don't know his realm because he changes
his name every movie. The Creep is a very charming character,
but he's a serial killer and we know he's crazy
and he's cuckoo. There's just something about it.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It's a charm about him.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
You just can't help him getting behind these characters that
just have a charm, like my number four with Art
Terrifier for it is just a charm about the way
that David Howard Thornton makes Art so.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Lovable, the coirkiness.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
And with Terrifier three we also got that Christmas aspect
added to it, which we don't have a lot of
good Christmas movies, so now we have, you know, one
to watch Joint Christmas. Yeah, he just you know, knocks
it out of the park. But there's just something off
about Art the Clown. But god damn it if not
everybody loves them. People really don't get behind Terrrifire. But
(24:30):
well not all people. I'm just saying some people. The
people that don't really get behind it's still like the
character of Art for clown, so it's something magical there there.
But at the end of the day, he is by
far one of the most sadistic serial killers that we
have had on screen.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Atlanta, what is your number four?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
What's your number four? And you when you was worried about.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Your list, I was, well, we'll see see. Yeah, like
you said, I mean Art the Clown. Now, David Harthorton
just does such an amazing job bringing a silent character
to lie life with like giving a silent character so
much character.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, it's crazy. He's just it and I really hope
he doesn't get type cast. But he's rolling down that road.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
He is a little bit. It is kind of iron
I mean Terrified three, Like you said, it was Christmas theme,
so it was different in that aspect. It's hard for me.
I go back and forth between Terrifire two and Terrified three,
which one's my favorite because I love like in different ways.
I love that all three of them have a little
bit of a different feel, like they're almost their own thing,
but they go together absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, I had Terrifier three higher on our list because it's.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I don't care I'm.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Right, and I'm actually I'm definitely not as much of
a slasher fan as you. I enjoy them, but it's
not like my top categories right now. You're romantic, I do,
I'm a girl, but no, but this one it just
is so entertaining and something about it, about Arthur Crown,
it just captures me. And I had such a fun
(26:06):
time with it, and that's not for me with my lists,
more about like how did it make it feel?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Speaking of feeling, mister Thunder, what are you feeling at
number four?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Well, well, I'm feeling at number four. I have Maxine, Maxine.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I think I liked this movie a little bit better
than y'all did. It is not in my top ten.
Well that's okay.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
I had you know, I don't have Oddity or mister
Crocket or low Lives, but you know, it is what
it is. A lot of people didn't like this one
one or whatever, and that's totally fine. Like I said,
you know, my saying is, did I have a good
time watching this in the theater?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
And I did. I enjoyed every moment of it.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
I enjoyed Goff's character in this as I do in
Pearl Annetts I like the time period.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I like the eighties time period.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I like the fact that she's an inspiring star that
doesn't give a shit about anything but herself. Yeah, she's
something in it. Yeah, I mean I took her. I mean,
even though she's a horrible person, I found myself rooting
for her, wanting to succeed in this film.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Speaking of rooting, I'm rooting for my number three, and
my number three.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Is Late Night with the Devil. Late Night with the Devil.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
We just rewatched it again and it is just one
of those movies that was a delight to watch. The
practical effects, special effects, the story, acting, the atmosphere, it
was just beautiful, so well deserve of being in the
top five, all the praise in the world. I'm so
(27:43):
glad we got to watch this in theaters. It definitely
hits different in the theater than it does at home.
But I think that's the great thing about being being
theaters that sometimes you just get that feel and that
viby just just can't.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Get it home.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Well, I think partially got partially that you know what
to expect and you're way at home.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Right right exactly, and this movie is just if you
haven't watched it. Go watch it at home Shutter, which
is one of the huge streaming services you can get.
It's it's worth the money, other than to the Bob
that's free. But I can't poast enough about this movie.
It's just one of those that's great. And my top
six they're all five, So keep that in mind. It's
(28:25):
very hard to organize a top ten this year for
me because a lot of them deserves.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
To be number one on this Lanta. What do you
have at number three?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Number three? I have Namphile, which you know we're watching it.
We just watched it today and it just kind of
revalidated that it deserves to be for me the top three.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, one hundred percent. It's just one of those movies
that was ad a left field, original, great concept, BEAUTI.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Beautiful, another one kind of went in blind, didn't know
at all what to expect that.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The ones we went in blind to
were very very on point. Yeah, and I'm very happy with.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
And on contrast, some of the ones that we had
seen so many trailers for and we're excited for fell
foul Line.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Very Lord, have mercy thunder. What do you have here?
Number three? I have at number three, Long Legs.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Long legs, alright, Yeah, I enjoyed this one.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Kind of had that crime thriller ve to it, yeah,
in the beginning and then all kinds of twisting turns,
especially when you get to the end, and it was
a good ride. Nicholas Cage gave a great performance as
an aging rock star, glam leather.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Face looking thing.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Accurate.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
He was creepy. He was supposed to be creepy. He
was odd, he was supposed to be odd. This was
a very a great movie that was on the.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Back of the lead actress. I can't I can't remember
any name.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
She really, you know, led this movie until Nicholas Cage
commanded the screen. It was just just great between back
and forth between them, and it really reminded me.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Of like that old school seven five to it. Speaking
of something with good vibes. My number two is heretic? Nice?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, heretic Jesus Christ. There's so many times and so
many movies that when we talk about religion, it gets
so muddy and it gets so ignorant to the point
where you just can't watch it.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And this movie did not do that.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
This movie made everybody question everything, and.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's what I was worried about, are they going to
sit here, Is it just going.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
To be a Bible bashing fest. Is it going to
be knocking all religions? Is the twist that atheists are
stupid or non believers are stupid.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But they didn't go that route. They made you question.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
In everything, they made you think think it was brilliantly.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I really enjoyed.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
I didn't say this when it was my number five,
but I love the fact that it was all the
above that you just said.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
And it's so surprising because we all knew about heretic
and we were well you in particular, was worried about
Hugh Grant.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I wasn't too worried about.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It, but I was worried that he wasn't going to
be able to pull off a horror character like I've
seen him in.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
You know, he's type casting that rom coms role.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I mean, that's what we know him for, that's what
Todd hates him for, That's what I like.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah, he just hasn't done
anything for me to compare anything to Like you said,
you didn't know how he was going to be in
this type of role.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Right, So going into it.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
You know, I kind of figured if he got the opportunity,
probably could do it, and he proved it. Maybe one
of these latent life late bloomers, you know, like one
of those Michael Kane type of actors who plays in
these sophisticated it rolls and then when he gets older,
he's like, it, I'll do something like this.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
The movie just blew me out of the water. I
enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
It was so great, It was so fun, it was refreshing,
It was done so well, and it didn't disrespect anybody,
and then it was open to everybody.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking. It was like,
you know, is this right? Is that right? Is this right?
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And then the message at the end is like it's
kind of all.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Bullshit, but you know what's not bullshit? Landless number two.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Hopefully hopefully my number two. I think both of you
have already spoken about, and that is a substance. Yes, wow,
I'm surprised that. I, Oh my gosh, this was the
first very heavy body horror film that I could not
keep my eyes off of, even as cringely as like
some of the nails and eye scenes that normally Ali
(32:54):
turned away from I was glueden and it's still cringing
in the inside. They did such a I think. I
think only the reason why is because the practical effects
were done so well that it was just like I
didn't want to miss anything. And the storyline I've related
so much. The storyline as a woman was so relatable. So,
(33:16):
I mean, can I praise her enough?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah, give me more. So awesome seeing her play in horror.
We just talked about Hugh Grant. He's never done more before.
Is this her first horror.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Movie, like true true horror? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
The only thing that you can compare this to is nothing.
I mean, I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Ghosts, but that's just me.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
That's just well, well that falls into the your monster category.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Edward says her hands. Lisa franklinsty.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Ghosts.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
It's a gold Berg's lips. Todd's number two, number two.
I have Alien Romulus.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I didn't say much earlier because I knew it was
coming up, and anyway, I'm with you. I'm going back
and forth between which one I think is better, the
first alien or Alien Romulus, because Aliens is my solid
number one exactly. I just don't have a solid number two.
I go upstairs. I'm hoping to have a SOB.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I think I might like Alien Romulus a little bit
better than the original classics and crazy right, you know
a horror you know fan like me, that's that's almost sacer.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
It's very funny that we have two prequels in the
top ten, and prequels, like I said, are normally dog shit.
In our opinion, we got some one of the best
prequels we probably had in the.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Past ten years, maybe longer, no longer.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
We are at the Grand Finale, and my number one
is Long Legs, The Legs, The Long Legs of Long
with Nicholas Cage. I have been going over this list
(35:28):
over and over and over and over and over and
over again, and I've switched a lot of my number
one throughout. The one movie that I kept competing at
number one was Long Legs. I know this term is
used often in the horror community. This is the best
horror thriller silences. You hear that comparison often, and for me,
(35:52):
this comparison is true. The atmosphere was dreadful. There's so
much going on in the background with with the demons
and devil shadows. Nicholas Cage is just fucking over the
top every bit of what you want him to be.
The main story. I can't remember her name, I'm sorry,
off the top of my head, just just fucking nailed
(36:14):
the character that she was playing. A lot of people
were like talking about like her character and her acting.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
She fucking played a great character.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
She brought the characters to life, and she did exactly
what what Jody Foster. She did exactly. She did exactly
what Jody.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Foster did in Soundents of the Lamp.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
And granted, you know, her Southern accent was a little
over the top, but you know, the autism that she
brought to the screen was over the top too.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
But it's great. It was a great character to get behind.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I love the atmosphere, the spin on this kind of
devil aspect that it's kind of burnt out. But this
movie didn't throw ship on. This movie brought it to
a new love level that we haven't seen. It still
felt fresh, and it still felt fresh, and there could
still be more.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I want more long legs.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I don't don't really want Nicholas Cage in it again
because I don't want that character to be shipped on.
I think it'd be great to see someone new in
every movie, a carrier tight character that we get it
I look forward to hopefully more longly, and if not,
we got the instant classics. I hate to use that term,
(37:30):
but this is one of those movies that's going to
be talked about ten to fifteen years from now. It's
going to be in the all time greatest at some
point within the next fifteen years years. Moment it's true,
the moment that you've been dreading, what is your number
one one?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
You know what it is? It's no.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
It is I. I know that there's a lot of controversy,
a little bit divided in the room. But for me,
I said earlier, it's the most visually stunning movie that
I've seen in a really, really long time. And I
thought that lovely Rose Depp performance as that character was incredible.
Just the back and forth between being this sweet you know,
(38:18):
missing her husband stay at home wise to being being
possessed by no Feratu, like her mind being controlled, and
the transitioning with the convulsions, and it was just impeccable
to me. And I loved the storyline. It's funny because
you know, we said it's kind of kind of a
slow burn kind of not but it didn't feel like
(38:39):
we were in the theater that long because I was
so enthralled by the movie and I just I could
not not put it as my Number one.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I'll boast about it for a little bit, but I
think it's the dark, dark, Gothic romance movie we've ever
had on the big screen. It was very well acted,
well written, and the performances. I know, I said it
was well, but the performances were top not to the
point of mister scars Or knocked it out of the park.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yes, it's really fun to me when I can tell
that the actor truly put everything they had into the
roll down to you know, we've spoken about it on
the podcast episode specifically for No Spat, but the way
they she took vocal less less to lower the octopus
voice so that he nailed the sound he embodied or Lock.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Speaking of embodying mister Thunder, what is embodied in your
number one?
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Well, I don't think it's a surprised this Late Night
with the Devil.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
Yeah, yeah, I've been waiting for something to dethrone it
in my eyes close.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
But I don't know, man, I just I guess I
watched this at the right moment. I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
I loved everything about this movie. I loved the fact
that it's telling me that this was a lost from
the late seventies. I felt like I was watching that.
But when we got into like real time in the movie,
like on the set, and I still felt like we
were in the seventies. Yeah, Yeah, I still felt like
this was a real show. These you know, kind of
(40:16):
shock shows. You know, we're gonna bring some magic people
and we're gonna bring some.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Johnny Carson Late Night Show.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Yeah, the heyday of those shows that were so popular
back then because it was the last thing you saw
before you went to bed.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Because after that it was like the national anthem. It
was like like.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
It was literally really nothing that you could fucking watch
else on television. So the performances, I thought they were
knocked out of the part. I enjoyed it a lot.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
The aesthetic of the seventies in that movie is one
percent like on par or like you feel like you're
watching something in the seventies, for sure.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
And we talked about this a little bit earlier with
the substance. There was somebody or in Late Night that
I don't think we kind of picked up on or
the substance really like put it in our face, like, oh,
that's obviously body horror. But yeah, we had like cool
little dream sequence type of deal.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
That was. Yeah, it was. It was pretty disgusting. Hypnotism
and everything like that. You just just tore and self apart.
Yeah that was. That was really disgusting.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I don't get really grossed out, but when you started
pulling the actual forms like his neck, that was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
And I will say that you talked about Lily Rose
depth being possessed. I think the only other character this
year in a movie that rivals her being possessed so well,
it was the little girl from Late Night.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
The little girl fucking creeps me out. It still creeps
me out. The way she looks, it's just so ut. Yeah,
it's unsettling. I honestly, if they did a Exorcist remaate
or some kind of exorcist movie and they hurry up
and cast her while she's still young, yeah, yeah, I
(42:12):
would be hesitant to watch because it would creepy me out,
like her performances.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Fucking out of this world.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
I feel like this should have been, you know how,
like the real Amityville horror murders happened, and then somebody
wrote a book and then somebody made a movie. I
feel like like Late Night with the Devil should have
really happened, and then somebody wrote a movie, and then
somebody should have made a movie.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
I feel that, Yeah, you know what I'm saying. It's
like this really happened. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
Way, it feels like I should read in a true
crime book that the Warrens fucking investigated this creepy stuff
that happened on this set of a late night seventies
show show.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
But the tape's never been found, right, you know what
I mean? I think it's pretty cool that all of
our number ones is in our top ten. Yeah, and
this year has been been really to make a top ten. Honestly,
twenty twenty four has been one of the better years
in horror, and I think it's progressively getting it better.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
I would agree with that. You know what I find interesting?
I noticed the theme that there were several movies in
all of our tartans that had lead actors or actresses
that are not known for work. Clift Cage isn't known
for horror. You Grant has never been in more that
I know of. To me, Moore, there's several level that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
It was kind of a breakout year, first dives into
horror and a lot of original stuff came out. Yes,
and if some reason you heard our top ten and
you didn't you hear a movie, it's a possibility we
didn't didn't give a chance to watch it.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
I know we didn't.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Get to watch Coffee Table, a couple other ones that
a lot of people talked about, or it can be.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
One that was very close. You have to lower it
down to ten, right, So there's so many good ones
that didn't quite michelst And.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
I'm sure that we'll get around to watching some of
these films that other people talk about as well give
your opinions and stuff about them. But I don't know, man,
I feel like a lot of the height movies I
thought was shit.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
I tend to find that I don't agree with most people,
not because I'm not because I feel like I'm an
elitist or whatever. Maybe they feel like they're an elitist.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
I don't know, you're a fucking gatekeeper. Yeah, I'm a gatekeeper.
Speaker 4 (44:31):
It's a lot of films, like you said, TV Glow
that we talked about the last episode.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Mm hmm. Man, it seems like, uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
People just think a twenty four shits out fucking gold,
and I think they just shit out shitty shit.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Yeah, they shit the.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Bed a lot, but also can put out some bangers too.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:52):
Yeah, I mean Maxine is an a twenty four film
that was in my top ten.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
And was anything else. It was the twenty four. Well,
Hereta is really good. Yeah, twenty four. When they get
it right, they definitely get it right.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yeah, and get it right a lot better than Blumhouse
here recently. I will I will say that, don't think
that we're Blumhouse fans neither.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
Oh Bumhouse gets it it gets it wrong. And I
think a lot of fans just clamor for something different.
They want films that they haven't seen. There's a lot
of films that are similar.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Blah blah blah. They they're customs. They're like, oh, I've
never seen that.
Speaker 4 (45:35):
But just because you haven't seen it doesn't make it
make it good exactly.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yeah, And just because it's an original idea doesn't mean
it's a.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
Good idea, and just because you don't understand it doesn't
mean that you're dumb.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
And that's a really smart movie. Yeah, it doesn't mean
you're better than anybody else.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
I'm not down with anybody that tries to come off
it they're better at me, like we're equal here. Why
why can't we have like an open conversation. Why can't
you hear my point of view of why I really
don't like it, my falls in it, and look at
it from my perspective, and then I'll look at it
from your perspective. But I'm very satisfied with our number one.
I think if you have a top five or top
(46:15):
ten list, you know, post it on some of our comments.
Speaker 1 (46:19):

Speaker 1 (00:59):
You've heard the worst, now let's hear the best, the
best of the best. The cream of.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The krub is a mocho man once said back in
the day. So I think you're gonna be a little
shocked with our top ten list twenty twenty four. Horror
movies were really good. One they were really good, and
it was a lot. And to reiterate that, we've.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Seen sixty two movies around that one.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, Todd, your list was about it sixty two also,
right right, yeah, right there.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
This was probably the hardest that I think I've ever
had to do.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It was really difficult because there were so many, you know,
cult knows that I loved him about five, but there
were so many good ones that it was it was
very difficult on what I put above another.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
A lot of.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Movies this year thirteen thirty one. Over here we have
been kind of against the grain, so to speak. Everything
that everybody praised, we kind of was scratching our head
and everything that people shouted.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
On we loved.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
A lot of people hated Alien and we loved it,
and some people hated Terrifyer and some people hated immaculately.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
And for some reason, Late Night kept getting shitted on
a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I just I don't know why, understand why I'm going
to be the one to kick off this top ten
because Missus Lanta did not want to go first, not it.
So at number ten, I have one that I think
got slept on a lot. I didn't hear anybody else
(02:28):
talk about this movie except for us, and that's Low Life.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Low Life.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It was a to be exclusive and it's one movie
that I think should have went to the theaters. We did
a review on it because we loved it that much. Normally,
if it's a streaming movie, it's got to kind of
get a blessing from all three, like holy shit, we
got to talk about this movie.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And I think that's the only streaming one in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
We did I saw did that one go to theaters?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That was in theaters? Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, they should switch those.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
They should have paid I think they paid people to
talk about that movie.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Whatever. So that's my nine ten, Miss Lanta. What do
you have for your number ten?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I have a movie that some may not actually consider horror,
but it falls in that horror genre to me, and
I loved it so much. I watched it three times
in one and that is Your Monster.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's a goody, that's a fun time.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I was very surprised how much I liked it because
Melissa Barrera.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Sucks, but this was I felt like this was her
kind of role, like she she fit really well in
that kind of horror comedy, silly elspet like characters.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I agree with that, and it kind of ruin what
what good I had in watching Screen five and six,
because we watched Your Monster and then we went back
and rewatched Scream five and six. I don't know why
to watch it, but I just wanted to go back
and revisit it, especially six, because me and Thunder paid
six and we wanted to make sure that we were justified,
(04:00):
and we were Melissa Barrera seemed to be a lot
more shittier than I remember after watching Your Monster.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But she was good in Your Monster, So that's weird
how I feel about that.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I think maybe she's just one of those actresses that
just does better in a less less serious role.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Probably maybe maybe funters from down up chair.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Well my number ten, First of all, I like both
of those choices. At number ten, you guys got just
watched Your Monster the other day with you, and it
was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I liked it. I mean, I have no complaints. I
definitely agree that.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yeah, scream Ream six on a third, fourth watch or
how many times I watch it still sucks even probably worse.
It doesn't get better as I watch it, as some
movies do.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
This one doesn't. We were just hooking holes the whole time. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Anyway, Low Life was really good to shout out to
that neither one of them in my top ten.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
My number ten is you guys might be shot. It's
it's NOSPARAUTI.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Whoa number ten?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Number ten? It made the top ten, So that's cool. Well,
you know, I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I had ten movies that I gave the same score to,
so I had to really crunch down on the last
two spots, which is basically I had to choose my
best two out of those ten.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That did not make the list.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Of eight of them, I had to be likeugh, but
but yeah, I like Nosparato enough to make it one
of those movies that just made me.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
By the way, Low Lives.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Came in at number eleven eleven, it was hard for
me making my top ten two because I didn't give
it a fives out. Actually this year, after going through
my list and everything, so my top six is like
all five.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You know how many fives? I gave? Five? So you
gave one more than I did. What was you saying?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I didn't count exactly how me I gave, but I
know I gave a lot. And I'm curious to see
because this is my first year really doing ratings for movies,
so I'm curious if I'm going to buckle down there
be a little more hesitant to give those next year.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Here I am am yeah, and I will say that
my top ten, I really am proud of it, because,
like I said, the first five or all fives, the
next three or all four and a half, nine and
ten are both fours, So I will say that all
of these movies I think are excellent in my top ten.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Oh nice, nice, nice.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Well, my number nine is another straight to streaming service movie.
Okay that I'm really mad you go to theaters. But
it's mister Crockett. Cockett, mister Crockett, mister Crockett.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And these streaming movies came out of nowhere, like we
really didn't know anything about them. We just saw I'm like, oh,
what's this, we'll watch it.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, surprise.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Mister Crockett was so fucking good, so refreshing, a great
new twist on kind of stuff we're familiar with.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
We're kind of familiar with. You know that.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Quirky TV character that's a killer, but it's never been
done to this extent, And we really haven't had a
kid serial killer since Freddy Kucko that was was done well.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, I guess you could count I Reckon chuck.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You maybe, yeah, But he focused on adults, mister Crockett,
and Kruger was kind of focused on kids and teenagers.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
If you want you, I guess you first. Yeah, is
is kind of ye.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I mean, it's definitely more Nightmare on ELM Street is
because it's in that fantasy world type of deal, and
you are trying to, like, you know, draw in the
kids to kind of you know, turn them against the parents,
and you know, I'm your friend.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
To the union exactly. We didn't review this movie.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We just couldn't get around to it because it came
out at a time everything, everything was fucking dropping, and
unfortunately it fell short.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You know, I feel like we still killed to do an
episode on it. It's worth it because it was so
good it is.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I want this to be a franchise. I really do.
I want so, mister Crockett. I don't know what it
is about this. I thought the special effects were good,
practical effects. The acting was flawless, like just flawless act acting.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
If you get a chance to watch it, I think,
who is it Hulu?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I can't remember what.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I think it's on Hulo? Anyway, look at mister Crockett.
This is definitely worth a time. I could not not
put it in my toxicens. Miss Landa, what's your number nine?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well? My number nine. We also did not see in theaters,
but I can't remember if it was a theater release.
But I had a great old time with it, and
that was an oddity.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
No, I think it was. It was theater.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Briefly, but but I don't think our theater got it.
Maybe that's why we didn't go see it. Yeah, But
adity for me was it's really really difficult for a
movie to get me gar and like my heart's racing
and I'm like on the edge of my seat genuinely,
and this movie fucking did it.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I thought the movie was done very well. It was
my number eleven of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
it was almost in.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
The top ten.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Well, I don't think you've ever seen me react the
way that I reacted to that movie to anything else.
I was very like, like, oh my gosh, maybe the Strangers.
Maybe yeah, the Strangers.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You were quite freaked out about.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
That because in both of those it's really I mean,
there is that light supernatural aspect to Audity, but it's
a person, and that's what that's what gets me is
when it's when it's a person.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
It had one of the best intense feelings in a while.
It done that very well.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It was really good.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I think that's the thing with the top ten is
that you're gonna notice for me is I'm kind of
going off of original I guess more this year because
everything was done so well. So I'm looking at like
you had the better creative ideas and what was done,
you know, just a little bit better, what was a
little bit more original.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's why Audity was right there.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I mean between like Lowlights and mister Crocket, low Lights
was it was quite original, but it wounded up being original. Yeah,
that's the great thing I like about Low Lives, Like
we've seen cannibals before, but they flipped the script on
you and the good families, the Cannibal family and the
quote unquote rednecks are good people. They kind of do
(10:27):
a Tucker and Dale versus evil twist on you, and
I really like that.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
But mister Thunder, what is your My number nine is immaculate?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Immaculate.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, it's surprised me because when this movie came out,
I wasn't looking forward to the subject matter because I'm
so fucking over the whole None demon ship. But this
one one of the best of the bunch this year.
I don't know, man, I was really impressed. I felt
on it about this movie. It was kind of familiar
(10:58):
how all the church movies go, but it was a
little bit more faster paced, and it really didn't kind
of slow down to where I'm like, god, this movie's dragging.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
It was a lot of like weird shit in it
that I was like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I like it, so it was good.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I wasn't feeling it at the time, and unfortunately I
didn't get to go back and ever watch it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
But I had Immaculate at number twelve.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, yeah, but I loved about Immaculate, or one of
the things that I loved about Immaculate was that it really,
you know, like I said, we kind of were expecting
it to be the typical noun possession movie and it
wasn't that, and that was refreshing to get something different
very much.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So good Lord go against the Green. That's what I say,
speaking of Nune isn't going against the Green. One that
very much surprised me was the first Omen, and that's
my number eight rate. That movie shouldn't have been as
good as it was, honestly, Okay, So Immaculate and first
Omen is very neck and neck and storyline it's almost
(11:59):
like like like very very close even came out, but
we figured out like three weeks apart or something like
that one was in March. One was in April, like
the end of March morning, Yeah, which is crazy. The
first OMEN, I felt like, not out of the park.
It was just so fucking good and unexpected. You know,
a lot of a lot of prequel movies we get
(12:19):
you kind of dread because because they're not really really
done good often and this movie you just just fucking
nail did it. Like it was so good and I
was very pleasantly surprised. I love the cinematography in it.
I love the route they went with it. I love
how they tied it in with the OMEN at the
(12:40):
end of the movie. It was just done very very well.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well. But Miss Lanta Alana, what do you have.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
A number eight? We have spoken about already, but I
have number eight?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh okay. We didn't dive too much into it to it.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, well I know, and I don't feel like we
need to. We did do until you know, a podcast
episode on it. But it was another one where we
were but just kind of scrolling through see what was
on streaming came across and we're like, we're like, okay,
but a try. And it had a nice sight twist
to it. The story was great, the acting was great,
everything about it. I thoroughly enjoyed, even even the way
(13:13):
that we did the ending, which if anyone who's not
seen it, I don't want to scroll anything but go
go watch it or go lit over episode.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And said, yeah, thunder my number eight. I have the
substuf set number eight. Yeah. Yes, we did a podcast
on the substance. Yeah, good old fashioned body horror.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Kind of one of those films where for me personally
just came out of nowhere, you know, didn't really get
any hype on the movie, but I watched it and
it blew me away. I loved the film, so I
have had it number well, piggybacking off the weight.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We just said, go your own way off, I'm gonna
piggy on your back because my number seven is the
sub simpsonce.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It's been a very long time since we've got such
a good body horror movie. And the storyline was just
done so well. The acting was just top tier.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Here. You know, it's good to see an old face
in a new film.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, exactly. I went into this movie blind. I didn't
see a trailer, I didn't see anything for this movie.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Movie. I actually didn't know anything about it.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Now thinking about it, and I think that's why I
preached so much before. The best way to watch a movie,
for the most part is blind.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Like you can take it all in. I think that's
why it got so high.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
On my list is because it was just like, Wow,
this has done so fucking well.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Practical effects are amazing, scores amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It just knocked it out of the mark. It was
a shame that we didn't get to see it in theaters.
That's the only thing I really hated about it. It
was too big on. That was nitpicky. But the rest
of it is just absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
A to watch.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If you haven't watched it, you need to watch the subs.
So miss Lanta, what do you have your number seven?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
My number seven is Long Legs.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Wow, Okay, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
The originality of it was incredible. Nicholas Cage is fantastic
what he does basically from here on out. I had
a real, real, real hard time with the order. Some
of them I feel like are kind of interchangeable depending
on my mood. Dude in a way a way, so
I don't want to me putting at number seven of it.
I think I think lower of it it was. It
was absolutely amazing, very unique, very unnerving. I had a
(15:34):
blast with it. But number seven is Thunder Thunder.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
My number seven is a sequel and it's Terrifire.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Three, Hooky do Art the clownn Arthur Clown.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I will boost all the time about how we love
this series, that we love this franchise.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We can have fun with all the movies.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Tear Fire three did not disappoint honestly, what I got
I was.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I mean, I just wanted.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
To be grossed out, just good old fashioned, over the
top slasher film, and that's exactly what we got. Of course,
you know have that hangar of an ending where it's
just like, yeah, fours coming got away. Though, yeah, I
would say that. You know, I think two is still
my favorite, but three is right there, literally right behind
(16:23):
it on my list as well.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I think that two.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And three is going to be like Halloween one and
two for me is going to be so interchangeable depending
on the day in my mood.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
But speaking on the mood, my.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Number six is no Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
No Saratu had a very haunting, beautiful atmosphere with a
great story. A more in depth look into the No
Sparatu character that we haven't really ever gotten in one
hundred years.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Just snelt it, I think, I said I.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But we as a podcast all agree that it was awesomeome.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
It was beautiful. It was the most visually stunning on
movie that I've seen in a long time time.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I know this movie for people is either they like
it they really don't like it. It's not really in between,
because even the people I hear about, there's so much
negatively in the end to where I really feel like
it falls into they really don't like it. They're just
trying not to bash it because it was done so well.
(17:36):
It's not like it was a be ready movie and
you can do ship on it beginning get in it was.
It was very old done and I like it and
it's gonna be a rewatch when it comes out. But
miss Landa, what.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Do you have a have a sex number?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I had here with Hugh yourself out?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Wow? Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I think so many of them that are on my
top ten were ones that kind of surprise because Heretic
was seemingly going that religious route, and I just I
felt like they did such a good job of changing
what you were expecting.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It to be.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
It was not exactly how the trailer portrayed, right.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Mister Thunder, what do you have it here? At number six?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I got the first omenment, Like I enjoyed this one
as well. This movie was either really going to be
good or really gonna suck, And honestly it ended up
being probably the best Omen film since the first film. Yeah,
considering this is the first, but yeah, I mean it
(18:37):
was shocking, right right, Yeah, And it was What I
really loved about this is, you know, this is an
old time franchise. They can make money just off of
the name itself. Yes, it's been around since the late
seventies or whatever. They wasn't afraid to go far in
this film and be disgusting and be shocking and be
just even more than any of their Omen film they
(19:00):
came before it.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, it's crazy that it actually got love and respect
and treated. You get that often with sequels or prequels.
That's why it's on me and Todds. Yeah, top ten
because we love the Omen and this movie. It made
me happy watching it and it did what Immaculate did
(19:22):
because I said, you know, it's kind of the same
things going on. But I think the first woman just
did it better?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I think the reason I put the OMEN a little
bit above immaculate is that the OMEN, like I said,
was a franchise, and a lot of times you get
movies in a franchise that the filmmakers want to protect
and not not give so much, want to be basic
with it, you know, because they're scared of sucking it up.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But this one it was like, yeah, throw that, yeah, baby,
coming out of the JOHNA.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You're going to see it. Yeah, demon CDs. Now it's
time to get to the top five of twenty to
twenty four, the Grand Finale, the Big Five, and at
number five I have alien rodulous. I know a lot
of people I've seen on the interwebs said it was
(20:17):
okay or didn't care for it. I didn't see a
lot of people boasting about it, and to them, I
don't know, we did not watch the same film film.
This to me is the best sense of the first
two to hands down. I don't know how you can
put this movie down and say it's disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
And two or I mean three or four is better.
I think this movie.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Is on par with Part two, and I think Part
two is the best one, So I don't understand the hate,
and I want more rain. And we wanted an alien
movie that returned to horror, back in space, characters that
we can get behind a good story and fucking aliens.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
And we got it.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
We got practical effects with actual people back.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
In xenomorph suits. It was perfect. You know, haters gonna
have whatever. Ever this what's your five?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well my number five? Alien Romulus? Okay, which which this
was really fun for me. We did this a couple
of times this year. Alien was one I had never
seen anything in the franchise. Yeah, every single one.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
We had a marathon right before we watched the big,
big Alien Romulust on the big screen.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yes, which was so fun. Obviously my first one on
the big screen screen. But that was fun for me
and I feel like having had just watched them all
and it all being so fresh in my mind. Alien Romulus,
I agree with you, is right there with Alien and
Alien two.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It is right there with aliens. Agree agree, funter, what
is when you're big five? Number five? My number five
is heretic? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Again, I wasn't expecting much much because I hate you Grant, so.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, you were not looking forward to this movie. No.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I thought this movie was going to fucking such balls, honestly,
But I'll tell you why I like it. It had
a very unique, quirky kind of sense of humor to
it when it could have played it straight. And if
it would have played it straight, I probably would have
hated this movie because it was so goddamn quirky with
the way the characters were.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Bouncing off of each other. That is what made this
movie highly entertaining. I had to put it in my.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Top five and it was super refreshing to see Hugo movie.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
He fit that character so well.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And I must add, just because it's quirky doesn't mean
that it's not serious or it was a comedy or
anything like that.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
It wasn't. It was It was.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
A film that A twenty four tries to make. They
try to make these off the wall, quirky characters and
it all kind of falls flat.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
To me. This is how you may make it. Yeah,
I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You can have some characters that are charming and quirky,
but they're not good people. It's it's very hard to
understand you're you're getting behind a person that.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Is a little off as crazy as hell, but he's nice.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, but you're doing It's kind of like he's like
a real life Mormon. It's like if you've ever watched Creek,
well we really don't know his realm because he changes
his name every movie. The Creep is a very charming character,
but he's a serial killer and we know he's crazy
and he's cuckoo. There's just something about it.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It's a charm about him.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
You just can't help him getting behind these characters that
just have a charm, like my number four with Art
Terrifier for it is just a charm about the way
that David Howard Thornton makes Art so.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Lovable, the coirkiness.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
And with Terrifier three we also got that Christmas aspect
added to it, which we don't have a lot of
good Christmas movies, so now we have, you know, one
to watch Joint Christmas. Yeah, he just you know, knocks
it out of the park. But there's just something off
about Art the Clown. But god damn it if not
everybody loves them. People really don't get behind Terrrifire. But
(24:30):
well not all people. I'm just saying some people. The
people that don't really get behind it's still like the
character of Art for clown, so it's something magical there there.
But at the end of the day, he is by
far one of the most sadistic serial killers that we
have had on screen.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Atlanta, what is your number four?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
What's your number four? And you when you was worried about.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Your list, I was, well, we'll see see. Yeah, like
you said, I mean Art the Clown. Now, David Harthorton
just does such an amazing job bringing a silent character
to lie life with like giving a silent character so
much character.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, it's crazy. He's just it and I really hope
he doesn't get type cast. But he's rolling down that road.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
He is a little bit. It is kind of iron
I mean Terrified three, Like you said, it was Christmas theme,
so it was different in that aspect. It's hard for me.
I go back and forth between Terrifire two and Terrified three,
which one's my favorite because I love like in different ways.
I love that all three of them have a little
bit of a different feel, like they're almost their own thing,
but they go together absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, I had Terrifier three higher on our list because it's.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I don't care I'm.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Right, and I'm actually I'm definitely not as much of
a slasher fan as you. I enjoy them, but it's
not like my top categories right now. You're romantic, I do,
I'm a girl, but no, but this one it just
is so entertaining and something about it, about Arthur Crown,
it just captures me. And I had such a fun
(26:06):
time with it, and that's not for me with my lists,
more about like how did it make it feel?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Speaking of feeling, mister Thunder, what are you feeling at
number four?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Well, well, I'm feeling at number four. I have Maxine, Maxine.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I think I liked this movie a little bit better
than y'all did. It is not in my top ten.
Well that's okay.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
I had you know, I don't have Oddity or mister
Crocket or low Lives, but you know, it is what
it is. A lot of people didn't like this one
one or whatever, and that's totally fine. Like I said,
you know, my saying is, did I have a good
time watching this in the theater?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
And I did. I enjoyed every moment of it.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
I enjoyed Goff's character in this as I do in
Pearl Annetts I like the time period.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I like the eighties time period.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I like the fact that she's an inspiring star that
doesn't give a shit about anything but herself. Yeah, she's
something in it. Yeah, I mean I took her. I mean,
even though she's a horrible person, I found myself rooting
for her, wanting to succeed in this film.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Speaking of rooting, I'm rooting for my number three, and
my number three.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Is Late Night with the Devil. Late Night with the Devil.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
We just rewatched it again and it is just one
of those movies that was a delight to watch. The
practical effects, special effects, the story, acting, the atmosphere, it
was just beautiful, so well deserve of being in the
top five, all the praise in the world. I'm so
(27:43):
glad we got to watch this in theaters. It definitely
hits different in the theater than it does at home.
But I think that's the great thing about being being
theaters that sometimes you just get that feel and that
viby just just can't.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Get it home.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Well, I think partially got partially that you know what
to expect and you're way at home.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Right right exactly, and this movie is just if you
haven't watched it. Go watch it at home Shutter, which
is one of the huge streaming services you can get.
It's it's worth the money, other than to the Bob
that's free. But I can't poast enough about this movie.
It's just one of those that's great. And my top
six they're all five, So keep that in mind. It's
(28:25):
very hard to organize a top ten this year for
me because a lot of them deserves.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
To be number one on this Lanta. What do you
have at number three?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Number three? I have Namphile, which you know we're watching it.
We just watched it today and it just kind of
revalidated that it deserves to be for me the top three.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, one hundred percent. It's just one of those movies
that was ad a left field, original, great concept, BEAUTI.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Beautiful, another one kind of went in blind, didn't know
at all what to expect that.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The ones we went in blind to
were very very on point. Yeah, and I'm very happy with.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
And on contrast, some of the ones that we had
seen so many trailers for and we're excited for fell
foul Line.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Very Lord, have mercy thunder. What do you have here?
Number three? I have at number three, Long Legs.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Long legs, alright, Yeah, I enjoyed this one.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Kind of had that crime thriller ve to it, yeah,
in the beginning and then all kinds of twisting turns,
especially when you get to the end, and it was
a good ride. Nicholas Cage gave a great performance as
an aging rock star, glam leather.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Face looking thing.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Accurate.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
He was creepy. He was supposed to be creepy. He
was odd, he was supposed to be odd. This was
a very a great movie that was on the.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Back of the lead actress. I can't I can't remember
any name.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
She really, you know, led this movie until Nicholas Cage
commanded the screen. It was just just great between back
and forth between them, and it really reminded me.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Of like that old school seven five to it. Speaking
of something with good vibes. My number two is heretic? Nice?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, heretic Jesus Christ. There's so many times and so
many movies that when we talk about religion, it gets
so muddy and it gets so ignorant to the point
where you just can't watch it.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And this movie did not do that.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
This movie made everybody question everything, and.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's what I was worried about, are they going to
sit here, Is it just going.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
To be a Bible bashing fest. Is it going to
be knocking all religions? Is the twist that atheists are
stupid or non believers are stupid.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But they didn't go that route. They made you question.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
In everything, they made you think think it was brilliantly.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I really enjoyed.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
I didn't say this when it was my number five,
but I love the fact that it was all the
above that you just said.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
And it's so surprising because we all knew about heretic
and we were well you in particular, was worried about
Hugh Grant.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I wasn't too worried about.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It, but I was worried that he wasn't going to
be able to pull off a horror character like I've
seen him in.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
You know, he's type casting that rom coms role.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I mean, that's what we know him for, that's what
Todd hates him for, That's what I like.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah, he just hasn't done
anything for me to compare anything to Like you said,
you didn't know how he was going to be in
this type of role.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Right, So going into it.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
You know, I kind of figured if he got the opportunity,
probably could do it, and he proved it. Maybe one
of these latent life late bloomers, you know, like one
of those Michael Kane type of actors who plays in
these sophisticated it rolls and then when he gets older,
he's like, it, I'll do something like this.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
The movie just blew me out of the water. I
enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
It was so great, It was so fun, it was refreshing,
It was done so well, and it didn't disrespect anybody,
and then it was open to everybody.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking. It was like,
you know, is this right? Is that right? Is this right?
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And then the message at the end is like it's
kind of all.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Bullshit, but you know what's not bullshit? Landless number two.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Hopefully hopefully my number two. I think both of you
have already spoken about, and that is a substance. Yes, wow,
I'm surprised that. I, Oh my gosh, this was the
first very heavy body horror film that I could not
keep my eyes off of, even as cringely as like
some of the nails and eye scenes that normally Ali
(32:54):
turned away from I was glueden and it's still cringing
in the inside. They did such a I think. I
think only the reason why is because the practical effects
were done so well that it was just like I
didn't want to miss anything. And the storyline I've related
so much. The storyline as a woman was so relatable. So,
(33:16):
I mean, can I praise her enough?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah, give me more. So awesome seeing her play in horror.
We just talked about Hugh Grant. He's never done more before.
Is this her first horror.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Movie, like true true horror? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
The only thing that you can compare this to is nothing.
I mean, I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Ghosts, but that's just me.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
That's just well, well that falls into the your monster category.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Edward says her hands. Lisa franklinsty.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Ghosts.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
It's a gold Berg's lips. Todd's number two, number two.
I have Alien Romulus.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I didn't say much earlier because I knew it was
coming up, and anyway, I'm with you. I'm going back
and forth between which one I think is better, the
first alien or Alien Romulus, because Aliens is my solid
number one exactly. I just don't have a solid number two.
I go upstairs. I'm hoping to have a SOB.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I think I might like Alien Romulus a little bit
better than the original classics and crazy right, you know
a horror you know fan like me, that's that's almost sacer.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
It's very funny that we have two prequels in the
top ten, and prequels, like I said, are normally dog shit.
In our opinion, we got some one of the best
prequels we probably had in the.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Past ten years, maybe longer, no longer.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
We are at the Grand Finale, and my number one
is Long Legs, The Legs, The Long Legs of Long
with Nicholas Cage. I have been going over this list
(35:28):
over and over and over and over and over and
over again, and I've switched a lot of my number
one throughout. The one movie that I kept competing at
number one was Long Legs. I know this term is
used often in the horror community. This is the best
horror thriller silences. You hear that comparison often, and for me,
(35:52):
this comparison is true. The atmosphere was dreadful. There's so
much going on in the background with with the demons
and devil shadows. Nicholas Cage is just fucking over the
top every bit of what you want him to be.
The main story. I can't remember her name, I'm sorry,
off the top of my head, just just fucking nailed
(36:14):
the character that she was playing. A lot of people
were like talking about like her character and her acting.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
She fucking played a great character.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
She brought the characters to life, and she did exactly
what what Jody Foster. She did exactly. She did exactly
what Jody.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Foster did in Soundents of the Lamp.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
And granted, you know, her Southern accent was a little
over the top, but you know, the autism that she
brought to the screen was over the top too.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
But it's great. It was a great character to get behind.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I love the atmosphere, the spin on this kind of
devil aspect that it's kind of burnt out. But this
movie didn't throw ship on. This movie brought it to
a new love level that we haven't seen. It still
felt fresh, and it still felt fresh, and there could
still be more.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I want more long legs.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I don't don't really want Nicholas Cage in it again
because I don't want that character to be shipped on.
I think it'd be great to see someone new in
every movie, a carrier tight character that we get it
I look forward to hopefully more longly, and if not,
we got the instant classics. I hate to use that term,
(37:30):
but this is one of those movies that's going to
be talked about ten to fifteen years from now. It's
going to be in the all time greatest at some
point within the next fifteen years years. Moment it's true,
the moment that you've been dreading, what is your number
one one?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
You know what it is? It's no.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
It is I. I know that there's a lot of controversy,
a little bit divided in the room. But for me,
I said earlier, it's the most visually stunning movie that
I've seen in a really, really long time. And I
thought that lovely Rose Depp performance as that character was incredible.
Just the back and forth between being this sweet you know,
(38:18):
missing her husband stay at home wise to being being
possessed by no Feratu, like her mind being controlled, and
the transitioning with the convulsions, and it was just impeccable
to me. And I loved the storyline. It's funny because
you know, we said it's kind of kind of a
slow burn kind of not but it didn't feel like
(38:39):
we were in the theater that long because I was
so enthralled by the movie and I just I could
not not put it as my Number one.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I'll boast about it for a little bit, but I
think it's the dark, dark, Gothic romance movie we've ever
had on the big screen. It was very well acted,
well written, and the performances. I know, I said it
was well, but the performances were top not to the
point of mister scars Or knocked it out of the park.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yes, it's really fun to me when I can tell
that the actor truly put everything they had into the
roll down to you know, we've spoken about it on
the podcast episode specifically for No Spat, but the way
they she took vocal less less to lower the octopus
voice so that he nailed the sound he embodied or Lock.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Speaking of embodying mister Thunder, what is embodied in your
number one?
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Well, I don't think it's a surprised this Late Night
with the Devil.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
Yeah, yeah, I've been waiting for something to dethrone it
in my eyes close.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
But I don't know, man, I just I guess I
watched this at the right moment. I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
I loved everything about this movie. I loved the fact
that it's telling me that this was a lost from
the late seventies. I felt like I was watching that.
But when we got into like real time in the movie,
like on the set, and I still felt like we
were in the seventies. Yeah, Yeah, I still felt like
this was a real show. These you know, kind of
(40:16):
shock shows. You know, we're gonna bring some magic people
and we're gonna bring some.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Johnny Carson Late Night Show.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Yeah, the heyday of those shows that were so popular
back then because it was the last thing you saw
before you went to bed.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Because after that it was like the national anthem. It
was like like.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
It was literally really nothing that you could fucking watch
else on television. So the performances, I thought they were
knocked out of the part. I enjoyed it a lot.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
The aesthetic of the seventies in that movie is one
percent like on par or like you feel like you're
watching something in the seventies, for sure.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
And we talked about this a little bit earlier with
the substance. There was somebody or in Late Night that
I don't think we kind of picked up on or
the substance really like put it in our face, like, oh,
that's obviously body horror. But yeah, we had like cool
little dream sequence type of deal.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
That was. Yeah, it was. It was pretty disgusting. Hypnotism
and everything like that. You just just tore and self apart.
Yeah that was. That was really disgusting.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I don't get really grossed out, but when you started
pulling the actual forms like his neck, that was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
And I will say that you talked about Lily Rose
depth being possessed. I think the only other character this
year in a movie that rivals her being possessed so well,
it was the little girl from Late Night.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
The little girl fucking creeps me out. It still creeps
me out. The way she looks, it's just so ut. Yeah,
it's unsettling. I honestly, if they did a Exorcist remaate
or some kind of exorcist movie and they hurry up
and cast her while she's still young, yeah, yeah, I
(42:12):
would be hesitant to watch because it would creepy me out,
like her performances.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Fucking out of this world.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
I feel like this should have been, you know how,
like the real Amityville horror murders happened, and then somebody
wrote a book and then somebody made a movie. I
feel like like Late Night with the Devil should have
really happened, and then somebody wrote a movie, and then
somebody should have made a movie.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
I feel that, Yeah, you know what I'm saying. It's
like this really happened. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
Way, it feels like I should read in a true
crime book that the Warrens fucking investigated this creepy stuff
that happened on this set of a late night seventies
show show.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
But the tape's never been found, right, you know what
I mean? I think it's pretty cool that all of
our number ones is in our top ten. Yeah, and
this year has been been really to make a top ten. Honestly,
twenty twenty four has been one of the better years
in horror, and I think it's progressively getting it better.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
I would agree with that. You know what I find interesting?
I noticed the theme that there were several movies in
all of our tartans that had lead actors or actresses
that are not known for work. Clift Cage isn't known
for horror. You Grant has never been in more that
I know of. To me, Moore, there's several level that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
It was kind of a breakout year, first dives into
horror and a lot of original stuff came out. Yes,
and if some reason you heard our top ten and
you didn't you hear a movie, it's a possibility we
didn't didn't give a chance to watch it.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
I know we didn't.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Get to watch Coffee Table, a couple other ones that
a lot of people talked about, or it can be.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
One that was very close. You have to lower it
down to ten, right, So there's so many good ones
that didn't quite michelst And.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
I'm sure that we'll get around to watching some of
these films that other people talk about as well give
your opinions and stuff about them. But I don't know, man,
I feel like a lot of the height movies I
thought was shit.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
I tend to find that I don't agree with most people,
not because I'm not because I feel like I'm an
elitist or whatever. Maybe they feel like they're an elitist.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
I don't know, you're a fucking gatekeeper. Yeah, I'm a gatekeeper.
Speaker 4 (44:31):
It's a lot of films, like you said, TV Glow
that we talked about the last episode.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Mm hmm. Man, it seems like, uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
People just think a twenty four shits out fucking gold,
and I think they just shit out shitty shit.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Yeah, they shit the.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Bed a lot, but also can put out some bangers too.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:52):
Yeah, I mean Maxine is an a twenty four film
that was in my top ten.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
And was anything else. It was the twenty four. Well,
Hereta is really good. Yeah, twenty four. When they get
it right, they definitely get it right.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yeah, and get it right a lot better than Blumhouse
here recently. I will I will say that, don't think
that we're Blumhouse fans neither.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
Oh Bumhouse gets it it gets it wrong. And I
think a lot of fans just clamor for something different.
They want films that they haven't seen. There's a lot
of films that are similar.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Blah blah blah. They they're customs. They're like, oh, I've
never seen that.
Speaker 4 (45:35):
But just because you haven't seen it doesn't make it
make it good exactly.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yeah, And just because it's an original idea doesn't mean
it's a.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
Good idea, and just because you don't understand it doesn't
mean that you're dumb.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
And that's a really smart movie. Yeah, it doesn't mean
you're better than anybody else.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
I'm not down with anybody that tries to come off
it they're better at me, like we're equal here. Why
why can't we have like an open conversation. Why can't
you hear my point of view of why I really
don't like it, my falls in it, and look at
it from my perspective, and then I'll look at it
from your perspective. But I'm very satisfied with our number one.
I think if you have a top five or top
(46:15):
ten list, you know, post it on some of our comments.
