twenty five. Happy new Year, by the way, from all
of us at thirteen thirty one to you and your household.
We are going to be going over the best of
twenty twenty four, and then we're gonna be going over
(01:17):
the worst of twenty twenty four, and then we're gonna
be talking about the things that didn't quite make the
cut in twenty twenty four. But today we're gonna be
talking about the worst, the crim deal of the krim
that rose to the top. That was the dog shit
of the dog shit.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
There was some dog shit.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
It was a lot of dog shit. Quite a few,
quite a few.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
We watched over sixty two horror movies, I believe.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, it is the count we were at when we
were tallying up everything.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
And that's sixty twenty twenty four specific.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes, no, it was. It was a lot more horror
movies than is just that that that's just sixty two
movies that came out in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh yeah, because I mean you got to think I
got caught up on the Alien franchise, on the Purge,
on all of the Christmas horror movies. Oh yeah, A
lot has been watched this year.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We probably watched it roughly about one thirty one fifty
I would say, at least, you know, catching you up
and stuff like that, refreshing, refreshing our our manublum am lugata.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So to speak.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Also catching a couple of throwbacks at the theater. It's
been it's been fun.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's been a good year. We're not here to talk
about good We're here we're here to talk about the ugly,
and there's a lot of ugly to disperse. So we're
kind of doing this one a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
We're going round the table.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
We're gonna be doing the round the table discussion, jumping
right into it, it's gonna be ladies first, Todd, what
do you have at number ten?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Well, well, starting off my number ten, the the Bad,
I kind of have ten through six the bad and
five through one the ugly. Yeah, so starting off, it's Trap, Trap,
Trap Trap. It number ten the one that I was
(03:02):
actually looking forward to because Josh Harten and I'm a
big fan of his. And yeah, it just didn't hit
the mark. It was a night Shyamalan daughter music video
for two hours.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, fun fact, I'm gonna throw in there real quick
that it was pretty much to let you know that
his daughter is a singer and try to make her popular.
It was originally supposed to be seventeen song in that movie,
was her own original stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, dog shit, Yeah, out of here with that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, it's it's not in my top ten, believe it
or not, Miss Lannam. What do you have at number ten?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Funny enough, I too have trap as my number ten.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Wow, Well that's interesting. Is there anything that you would
like to elaborate that maybe we didn't say in the review.
By the way, if you want our overall scores, you
can go back and listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
If you want to. We're not gonna be going over
the scores and in depth shittiness to these.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, once again, miss Lantam, sorry for interrupting.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
What was something you wanted to add or did you? Well?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Trap was a little bit hard for me to There
was a few that were fighting for the number ten spot, right,
Trapp was just really missed the mark and was just
very overpredictable.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, it was pretty shit, made no fucking sense. Well,
my number ten is Smile Too. I put Smile Too
at number ten because I thought so highly of Smile one,
which you know, I was one of the few people
that was very high on Smile Like. I loved it.
It was kind of like it follows but better. Sorry
(04:41):
if that bugs you, but that's kind of how I
felt about it. And Smile Too was just a Lady
Gaga concert that I couldn't escape and it was not good.
I predicted the ending twenty minutes into it. Yeah, something
like that. It was cut and paste. It wasn't scary.
It lacked everything the first one did, and it felt
(05:03):
like a cash grab.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
That's pretty interesting that all of our tens have to
do with these pop stars.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
That is funny.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Maybe that will become a trope. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
No, by the way, we're gonna be doing a trope episode,
so no pop stars, no pop stars.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Number nine. My number nine is Taro. Oh okay for
different reasons you like, Like you said, you can go
back and look at the full in depth. This is
one though that it's fucking stupid, but I kind of
don't mind. It's kind of goofy fun, but it's still bad.
It's still bad, Miss Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
My number nine is Kuku Cuckoo crap a doodle doo.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, it's not a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Rock of dookie, RockA dooky well, funny enough speaking at doukie.
My number nine was Taro. Actually I was todd on this.
It missed the mark. The Tarot monsters in it were
pretty cool and that's about it. Yeah, it was just
it fell flat, yes, honestly. But number eight, mister Thunter,
(06:04):
My number eight is one we actually didn't talk about.
And I don't know if you guys got around to
watching it, but it is the Beast within. I did
not watch The Beast with them.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Well, I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time,
but I will just say that it was disappointing to
say to least, there were several opportunities to do some
really skier tactics in this film and they did not.
No wonder this hit streaming, and not saying that all
streaming movies are shitty, but this is one of the
reasons why movies hit streaming. Gotcha, it could have just
(06:38):
been so much more. And you talked about being disappointed
with Smile. I mainly was disappointed with this movie, like
it had the potential to be something. Yes, this was
coming off of a remake. You've never seen the original
Beast Within. It's a fairly good movie. This one just
it relied too much on the drama and not enough horror.
(06:59):
Candy Atlanta Number eight, well, my number eight is Tiaro.
Oh okay, Well you hated it a little bit more
than we did.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I did. It was one that I was really looking
forward to because it speaks to me and my likings.
But it just really it just fell super super flat
and was really disappointing.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It was very disappointing for the listeners out there. By
the way, I feel like.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
My top ten worst is going to have a lot
of people's top ten best in it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
If you're listening.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Sorry, it's just what it is. Number eight is VHS
Beyond Oh. I thought this movie was dog shit. We
didn't do a review on this, Todd, you watched this right, Yeah.
VHS movies have some really good ones, like really good ones,
and this one started off good with the alien in
(07:50):
the house. It was very resident Evil style, and then
it was just a big fucking chicken in there. It
was an alien chicken, and then everything from there just
fucking fell apart. I don't see how anybody had this
in their top ten personally. That's just a little brief summary.
It was dog shit. I fucking hated it. No thank you,
no boying oh. Number seven.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Todd at number seven, I have The Strangers Chapter one.
This is a remake or a reimaging that nobody asked for,
and not only did it fall flat, but it offered
absolutely nothing new in this universe. It didn't do anything
(08:31):
better than the first two did. It did not make
me look forward to chapter two at all. It was
just a dull reimaging for something that nobody fucking asked for. Agreed,
Miss Atlanta, what's your number seven?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
My number seven? I have Boneyard Liz mel Gibson, who
was I will say, was the best part of that movie. However,
it did not make up for the entire rest of
the film.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It was very, very, very shitty.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
It's nor Fest honest. I mean, I like true crime
films about true crime.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
It's just man, I mean, it was like sci fi bad.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It was like straight to TV sci fi Jesus Christ, Sharknado.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Bad, Sharknado.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yes, it was. It was that bad.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And I can't believe fucking Mel Gibson wasn't. It's such
a fucking stain on his career. Hopefully nobody else watched
this movie, but my number seven, speaking of taking a
swim as night swim Okay, the movie was so fucking boring,
so paced by numbers.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I felt like his nice one was very dull.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
It was dull.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
The demon, swamp monster things in it looks stupid as fuck.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The CGI CGI was terrible.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
The acting was okay ish, what was it Kurt Russell's son.
He did pretty good as the dad, but that was
the only saving grace in that one. Just me personally,
number six todd Well to finish off the rest of
my bad before I get to my ugly It's one
movie that a lot of people are gonna have in
(10:08):
their top.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
But I fucking hated it. And it's in a violent nature.
I knew it was coming. Yeah, you're probably surprised it's
not higher up.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Actually no, not really. It was a lot more shittier one.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
There's there's five more that I think are shittier than that. Yeah,
but the yogurt scene is a fantastic scene. Everything else
it's like a leaky, fucking commode to me, I.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Don't get the hate on it. I personally thought it
was a pretty good movie.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
To steal a line from you, it was fucking boring. Okay,
fult if.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You're not aware, if you missed that episode, go back
and listen. We are a house divided over in a
violent nature.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, divide these nuts. What do you got at number six?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Number six I have? You shouldn't have let me in?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That one, which is it to me is really funny?
Is I was like, damn, this is like such a
shitty vampire. But now we have nos Fara two, and
how do we have these two in the same year?
Is mind blowing.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, it's been a lot of sheety vampire movies, especially
since Twilight.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Catapulting it exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It definitely felt like that teen romanticized. They're infatuated with
the idea of vampires. This was a book written for teens.
This is the film adaptation of that, and it just
was not enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, it was like, I love you, I can't bite you.
I will bite you because I love you, and they
will kill you.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Stupid you sound like Casey.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That's that's not true. Nobody knows out there in podcast
LAMB who Casey is. I don't even think Casey listens
to this thing. He's our buddy. If you're listening, I
love you. My number six is one movie that Lana
hated stop motion ugh, which a lot of people had
stop motion in their top ten, and I don't see
(11:53):
how personally the story wash The clay animation was pretty good,
reminded me of like tool videos that made me appreciate it.
It had some pretty good practical effects, but other than that,
it fell flat to me.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Todd, what's your number five? Well, speaking of stop motion,
it's number five on my list. Well, I hated it,
maybe a notch above you. Yeah, it definitely definitely sucked. Yeah,
I'm with you. I did think the stop motion was
pretty cool. It's a pretty unique idea. It just the
(12:29):
rest of the story just fell flat. I mean, they
could have done some cool things with it, but they
decided to go a little bit artsy with it, and
in the end, it just didn't make a whole lot
of sense.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The best way I can think to put it is
that you have a really great center idea, but you
don't have nothing to build up to that idea, so
you feel stuff around it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, that's what it felt like to me.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Because I'm not knocking the clay animation in it, because
it was great. It was done very well. It was
very creepy. It was very dark and demented. Like I said,
Tool videos. If you're not a Tool fan, look up
the metal band Tool watch their videos. It's you're watching
stop motion. It's where they got their influence, I promise you.
But anyway, we're not gonna spend twenty years talking about
(13:16):
stop motion.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Hate us. If you want to, I'm sorry. It is
what it is. Misstlanta. What's your number five?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
My number five is the Crow?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Well mine too, So really we can dive into this together.
We reviewed the Crow.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
We sure did definitely recommend you go back and listen
to that if you're curious about our opinions. But this
was something that was branded as a remake, which absolutely
should not have been branded that way.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No, it shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
That's why I have it in at my number five
is because it's not bad visually compared to the other movies.
The other movies look worse than this, Like it's visually done.
The fight scenes in it are pretty okay. The overall
arcing story of it just does not drive home what
(14:05):
the crow is. If this would have just been another story,
as another crow, it would have been cool. It wouldn't
have been shitted on by me and I would say
over ninety percent of people. And I think it's funny
that Scarsguard is in my top worst of twenty twenty
four and he's gonna be in my top best Wink
(14:25):
Wink of twenty twenty four, which is hilarious to me.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
That is really funny.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I agree with y'all. I think the Crow, the essence
of what it is, just did not feel like it
should have. No. That might be because Brandon Lee set
the bar so high or whatever. I don't know. I
just it's not in my top ten. What's your number four?
Number four? Number four is Cuckoo.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Cuckoo, Cuckoo a little bit higher than Atlanta over here.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, I wow, wow this movie. Yeah, I thought this
movie was going to be about somebody like going insane
or being crazy, like you know, No, they actually were
talking about the fucking bird. Yeah, and a fucking bird. Yeah.
You had fucking bumbling buffoon cops in this fucking setting
(15:20):
pillows on fire. God, it still goes me. You had
a mute Asian little girl that seemly didn't matter at
all until the end, and then it still didn't matter.
And you had a main character that I couldn't get
behind at all. No, yeah, this was This was not
(15:41):
a cool, batshit crazy movie. This was just a shitty movie.
To me, it was just a batshit movie. I couldn't wait.
I couldn't wait for this fucking thing to be over.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
The time, I was like, what are we watching?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And again you mentioned a little while ago, a lot
of your worst are going to be in people's best. Yeah,
Cuckoo's in their stop motions in there. I've seen all
of them being praise. But i've small Small two has
been in a lot of people stopped tanto.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, I knew yeah. Over here at thirteen thirty one.
Our horror movie tastes probably slightly different than your popular community,
so to speak. But this is just our opinions.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Honestly, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I think the best way to explain it is we're
not saying that these are the absolute worst movies, or
when we talk about the best, that they are the
absolute best. But they are in our opinion, how we
felt about them.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yes, these are our best, our worst, according to our
personalities and our likes. We don't like.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It right, it doesn't work for me, Dog, it's gonna
be for me. It's gonna be a no for me.
Speaking of number nomber four, I try to transition out
the fuck it? What's your number four, Alana?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
My number four is mouse Trap? That was rated, and
there's nothing wrong with be rated. This isn't a well
done be rated film.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I don't even know if I call it be rated.
This is I don't even want to call it a movie.
This was just a Yeah. It was a fucking nightmare,
and not in a good way. The acting was terrible,
the mask was terrible, the practical effects was terrible. The
storyline made no fucking sense. Sorry to take over something.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No, it's okay because you're saying all the right things too.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, it sucked, dick, and not in a good way,
like using too much teeth.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Like, ah, you're hurting me, but I'm sorry, go ahead,
mouse trap.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
No, I mean you pretty much said it all. It
was nothing about this movie made any sense. It just
wasn't It wasn't good. I almost put it higher on
the list.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Actually, I can understand that.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Well, my number four Todd's already brought off, and that's
The Strangers chapter one of three. Yeah, it's supposed to
be one this year too well part two this year.
Not looking forward to it. I had it higher on
my list because it was insulting to me as a
Stranger's fan, as a slasher fan that I am. I
(18:14):
think I make it very well known that like Slashers
are my go to.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I love, love, love love.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
The Strangers, the first one, the original, the og because
it got isolation done right, it got suspense done right,
it got creepiness done right. It hit everything perfect to me.
Characters that you cared about, shocking things that happened that
you don't see coming, think it might come, and then
like you're shocked that it comes, but you still knew
(18:42):
it was coming, but you didn't think it was coming,
Like mind fucks with you. It's perfect, perfect modern slasher.
Just my personal opinion. You know, somebody out there is
probably like a movies not I don't care to me,
it's great. It's one of my top ten favorite slashers.
This movie is high on my list because it did
everything wrong that that fucking movie did right.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yes, yeah, it literally was like, let's take everything that
that movie did good and shit all over it and
make it less special and do it typical and predictable.
And it just at this point chapter two, anything that
they made should be better. Chapter do do toughly.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I mean, hopefully we get a pooh, blood and honey
situation where the first one was dog shit, but the
second one we're like, oh damn they listened.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
To well, I'm not even looking forward to it now,
because I heard the director wanted to get their story,
so they wanted to go ahead and hurry up and
get part one out so that they could focus on
what he wanted in part two and three.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So he made the first one kind it so he
made the first one for the studio of what they wanted.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
From what I read, he wanted to take it get
the first one out. He really didn't want to do
the first one from what I read or the director,
I can't remember if it's a man or a woman,
and they wanted to get that out so that they
could do their own original thing with the story.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That tells me one of two things. Either A he
thinks he has a better direction for this story, yes,
or B he's playing he just wants to use the
Strangers name to game notoriety to do like kind of
like a Wrong Turn deal, I think, where it's absolutely
nothing to do with what the fucking Wrong Turn movie
(20:20):
is supposed to be about. I said it in the review,
it's going the cult route. Yeah. If you guys don't
know The Strangers Chapter two trailer is out, now go
look at it and see what the ripper over here
is talking about. It's definitely going cult route. And I
called it before that came out, And we do not
(20:40):
like that because it takes away from the lure of
those three maniacs. And when you put it in a
whole town, I mean, we're going fucking children of the
corn here. It's exactly what's gonna happen at like saying,
less fucking scary, man.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
No, it's not scary at all, children of the corn.
The reason why it's creepy is because it's kids, and
you can get by with it. When you make a
whole town of crazy people, you just it's nothing to it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
If you were gonna do the whole town, you should
have done that. You know.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
In the beginning, I get upset because they shit on
a slasher that I really liked. It's like freaking the
remake of Nightmare on Elm Street. It's the equivalent of that.
If you're a Nightmare fan and you know what he's
talking about, you can relate with what I'm talking about.
But speaking of relating number three, well, my number.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Three is Mousetrap. Again. I hated it more than you, Okay,
and I'll take pride in that.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I hate to skip over you real quick, but I
got mouse Trap at number three too. Let's sit on
it together.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, everything that you guys said b rated the I
mean this not only should this be in the fucking
five dollars DVD, Ben, it should be at the fucking bottom,
very very bottom, like this coaster for your beer. Yeah,
this is like the reason why you shouldn't give filmmakers,
like low budget filmmakers money to make their projects. No,
(22:04):
like this would be the argument against it. Like normally
I would be like, give people a chance, let them
start out. If this is what they would have brought
to me. And I was like a producer behind this,
you know, putting money to get this production going, and
they brought this to me, I would probably shoot the
director and try to get my money back in the
(22:25):
face and then shoot him in a dick. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I can't believe that somebody and they have the nerve
to put this together and was like, all right, yeah,
this is gonna be great, and they have the nerve
to put old like nineteen thirties Mickey Mouse shorts in it. Well,
this goes to show why when domains come open, it's
not necessarily a good thing. No, it's not because not
(22:52):
everybody has a great ideal with it. We'll see how
Steamboat Willie does this year. David Howard Thornton, I love
him to death, but the only good thing he's done
is art.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's true. I'm just saying I'm sorry. Yeah, the mean
one man it had potential. It had potential, but it
went too much serious. It should have been over the
top horror comedy. Yeah, you really don't get the kills
in it at all. It's not a very satisfying film.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
No, it's not satisfying because they don't get creative with
the Christmas kills. You can get so creative with lights
and bulbs and candy canes.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I mean, I mean, look at what is it, Violent Night.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Violent Night.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I mean Violent Knight has so many like over the
top kills.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
This movie could have easily went in that comedic route
with the over the top kills and theatrical aspect of
the Grinch not talking, which I kind of thought was
a weird choice. Yeah, I thought it was a weird
choice that they made the Grinch silent. I've seen David
have Award Thornton in videos doing readings of like The
(24:04):
Joker and stuff like that, so I know he can
bring something to the table other than being a silent actor. Now,
if he wants to be the twenty first century Charlie Chaplin,
I mean, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Well, I was just wondering if he's gonna almost get
typecasted into roles like that.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
If he keeps going that way, that's the way it's
gonna be. I don't want that for him.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, hopefully now that Damian Leon has made a few
bucks off of the Terrifier name, maybe he can go
back and redo his own movie, kind of like what
Ramy did with Evil Did too. Yeah, he could do that.
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I mean, the Keys is to the Kingdom and he
has it, which I'm very interested to see if they
give him the keys to the Friday the thirteenth Kingdom.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
There's a lot of a.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Lot of talk about that every since he put that
lure in the water, and you know he would like
to do it. He said he would like to do it,
So there's apparently some rumble going on with him doing
the next Friday movie.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I don't know if we'll ever get one in our lifetime. Lana,
what is your number?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Trace my number three? We have already spoken about it
is night Swim.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
And we can speak about it some more.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I just what's funny is we were talking about earlier.
It was the very first horror movie of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, they normally stink in January.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
It was a stinker for sure. Like you said, the
main guy that played the dad, it's funny. I think
he's Kurt Russell's son, but I can't remember what his
name is. He did an okay job. There were a
couple of okay things about it, but overall very forgettable.
And I know that we've seen a lot of films
since then. Thinking back on it, obviously, I've put a
lot of thought into the list. There just wasn't any
(25:44):
redeeming qualities. It wasn't entertaining. I have no interest in
going back and watching this film none.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, it's a hard past for me too. Dog.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Like I said, you know, everything that you said reiterated,
it just fell flat.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Todd, What is your number two? My number two movie
is not a film that we reviewed, and I don't
even think you guys watched it. It was a movie
I saw on tub and it was called The Town
Without Halloween. No, I haven't even heard of it. Well good,
it's a horrible film. They tried to capture like what
(26:19):
a trauma film would be. Oh no, and they god, yeah,
they're like worse than a trauma film. I mean it was.
It was the most goddamn awful. Again, this is the
type of movie that I would argue of giving a
young filmmaker money to make. And I don't know, man,
(26:40):
it's we have so much streaming service and everybody's starving
for content like what we provide. Not everybody talks good
like what I do. But but yeah, and to Be
and Max and all the they're starving for content. So
unfortunately they take a lot of shit. And this is
(27:00):
one that to be got this year. And I thought
this was gonna be like a little fun, little not
so serious movie. It was fucking dreadful. And but you
know me, once I start, I have to finish. Unfortunately, unfortunately,
and it was goddamn dreadful. Yeah, I don't recommend you
even watching it, just to know what you're talking about,
(27:23):
know what I'm talking about. Damn Okay. I actually thought
about not including it on my list and just being like, no,
I didn't watch it. That's terrible that you would like
to not acknowledge a movie that you watch because it
was that like that, it literally did not matter at all.
(27:44):
It was so goddamn dreadful. I had to put it
on it.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
It's like you watched the movie and you're like, I
hate myself for watching.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
It's like, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Even gonna tell him about this, and he didn't. He
kept his word to that, Miss Landa, what's your but too?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You got too?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
You boys have already spoken about it. I hated it
a little bit more than you did, but you alluded
to in that stop motion.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah you don't like that Clay animations.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I don't, and I tried to remember that watching it
is that I already have a negative bias towards Clay mation.
But it just I get angry thinking about it, Like
I don't like this movie.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
It's just so odd. I could just imagine a little
Lana is like a little girl watching you know, Santa
Claus is coming to town and just fucking throwing her
hot pockets at the fucking TV.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
You're like, God, damn Santa and Clay.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
It was this spatula from my easy pig Oven. Thank
you very much.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Huge, It's me. But you do like Nightmare before Christmas?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I do it. It's the exception.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
But Nightmare is on a way big different level than it's.
Still Clay animation is, but it's a different level. It's
almost to the point where it breaks the bound trees
of cartoon and Clay animation because they're both together. But
she's also biased because she likes musicals. YEP.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I think.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I think if Stop Motion was a musical should have
been on part well.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I hated Gumbay as a kid Gumby, so it was weird.
It was clay animation, I didn't but it wasn't entertaining.
It was odd. It was very weird but settling. But
one animation Clay animation show I did like was a
show called Bumping the Night. I love Bumping the Night.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
The Night.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, I love it. I love it, love it, love it.
I'm gonna eat these socks. Yeah. Yeah. He literally he
literally talked like a jazz singer. Yeah. And he was
like a little monster that socks. Yeah. He kind of
looked like a booger with eyes.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I thought it was pretty cool, but you know, yeah,
so you hated stop Motion.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That was your number two, Todd was, you know, the
the forgettable name, the town without Halloween, the unforgettable Town.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I was gonna say, Ripper, what's your number two?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
My number two's cuckoo. I fucking hate this movie. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
If there's somebody out there to put this in their
top ten.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
But I will say what's hilarious to me is that
I think this is the number one scene that made
you crack out.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Of it still does. Oh my god, I have not
left any fucking.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And that was the pillow catching fire that I mentioned earlier.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Oh, I didn't tell you that it's on streaming service.
Now we went back. Excuse me, I went back fast
forward it to that scene just to make sure that
I wasn't on some dumb shit. Okay, I fucking giggled.
He is running round.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
They proceeded to watch it like five more times.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
He runs around the goddamn building with the pillow and
there's fucking just fucking flying out of the pillow.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
And then he comes in and he holds it up.
He goes and he goes there in it catching fire.
It's like a five second It's like pow. Did we
ever find out if that happened because somebody anticipated that
(31:20):
or if it was just him being a dumb detective.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Okay, So my professional opinion on this as a person
that has shot quite a lot of guns in his lifetime.
I'm not a gun guy, but I've just shot a
lot of guns. The heat from the gun or the bullet.
The fire when it shoots out could cause it to
catch fire. Yeah, if you don't have a silencer, right,
(31:45):
that's my second thing. I think that he was trying
to do it as a silencer, but I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Why.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
So in the end, he's just a dumb ass detective.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
He's just a dumb ass detective that caught a pillow
on fire.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
And it's it's kind of crazy because when we first
meet him, we kind of get this sense that he's
smarter and knows things.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
That, Yeah, he's supposed to be smarter than the average bear.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And he doesn't know that a fucking pillow covering over
a gun will catch fire. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
I mean, well, he specifically stuck that motherfucker in the pillow.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I guess, you know, if they would have if he
would have killed that girl, I guess, or whatever it was,
I guess we wouldn't have had any more story to
go off of. I mean, we had very little to
go off of anyway. But god, damn, is just I
don't know, stupid h bismon.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Well, I think it's safe to say we can all
collectively agree that our number one is the same you
want to do it on three.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, okay, let's do it all right. One two three.
I saw the TV. Yeah, and I have heard such
praise for this movie about how it's so artistic and
how it's all these scenes are you know, supposed to
represent this and this and blah blah blah. This movie
(33:11):
fucking sucked. Okay, I can understand something being artsy, something
a message being getting across the subtext in an artsy film.
This movie was just fucking horrible. It was. It was
fucking boring.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I had to do a lot of deep diving after
to figure out a couple of things, which when, like
I said, when we reviewed it, I thought that it
was like a transgender thing was going on, but I
wasn't sure, Like I said it to you with a
question mark, right, I was like, I think it's something
like that, Like I think he's having like some kind
of like confliction or finding himself in like this woman character.
(33:51):
But they didn't do a good job at the mental struggle.
I mean, you could tell that the kid was meant
to struggling, but not why.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, you never like understood. You just got a bunch
of scenes put together that did not lead to one conclusion.
It was just a bunch of random shit of nothingness. Yeah,
I mean, the.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Story just didn't flow well. And you're right the director.
The director did say that it was like the struggle
with that, But like you said, if I wouldn't have
saw that interview, I wouldn't have even got that. I mean, yeah,
you didn't even originally get that, you know me funny
when I brought it up. Yeah, yeah, I was like, oh, yeah,
(34:38):
there was that one scene where he was like an address,
but I just thought that was just thrown in there randomly,
like every fucking thing else. Yeah, And if you're going
to do something like with mental struggle, you gotta do
better than that. I don't care if you're gay straight
by purple pink, I don't care. I really don't care. Yeah,
(35:03):
the subject of it, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
It's how you present it to me, right, And this
thing came across god damn, like I was in a
fucking autistic person's mind.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
And not in a good way. You're you're sitting here
watching the story trying to this. No, this was not
at all. This wasn't rain Man in the least bit.
You're sitting here trying to watch it and put it
together and you don't understand the weird cuts. The reality
aspect is the lines are blurred. If anything, your main
(35:36):
point is that you know there is a mental struggle
with with people that transition, and that's that's cool, and
I don't have no problem bringing it to light. But
to me, when I'm looking at it now that you
say that, it just looked like to me that the
kid was mentally unstable. Yeah, honestly, I don't. You kind
of like it did more reverse message. Don't mean yeah,
(35:58):
it was like.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
It did more damage. It wasn't like, oh, let's understand
these types of people that are confused. It was more like,
look how confused these crazy people are.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah, it did not convey well on the big screen.
I am glad that we didn't go to the theater
and watch this. I would have I might have walked out.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Yeah. I've tried to listen to people who like this film,
like I want to hear their reasons. Why nothing that
they say, like you said, everything that the director said
that this movie is about echoes, Nothing that you actually see. Well,
everything that people say that they liked about this movie,
I saw none of it. And it's almost like they
(36:39):
made up this movie in their head that was not
on screen, right, and it was like they either made
it up or they're scared because the subject is supposed
to be something that they fight for, so they don't
want to put it down, so they have to champion it,
even though they really probably want to say it's fucking sucked.
(37:00):
It made no sense.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah, it's one of those touchy subject matters that we
have going on in the world. Everything's very sensitive. The
problem is, like you said, it's one of those subject
matters that you know, you've got to cheer for, you
can't cheer against. And it's not that we want to
cheer against it, but we want something to cheer for, right, Right,
that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
You don't. If you don't give me nothing to cheer for,
I'm not just gonna cheer. Yeah. So like naturally, if
you make a film where I'm not into the subject
or whatever, at least make the best goddamn effort to
get me a little invested in it to where I go.
You know what, Okay, I understand a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Your your goal should be for people that are not
for it to understand it, right, that's the people you
should want to watch this movie and to get them
to be more understandable, the ones that are so close
minded and stuff like that. You know you don't want
to shit to splash back on you. I will give
you the perfect movie that did a complex right this year,
(38:04):
The Substance.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yep, yep. And I'm not gonna dive into this no, no, no, no,
definitely not. Substance gets gets it right one hundred percent.
It gets its point across while giving us the goody goody.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, because as a man that watches this movie, I
have a better visual insight of what a woman can
deal with emotionally and mentally and what she has to
go through. Yeah, but wow, you you as a woman
can relate with it.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
So but the TV glow. I'm confused going in, I'm
confused coming out.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, I don't see how me if I was a
trans person, a person of trans I don't know how
to say it. I don't know how to politically correct
say it. But if I was trans and I watched
that movie, I don't see how I could relate with
If that's me on the screen like that, that's how
I fun Yeah, honestly, because to me, the guy wasn't
he looked crazy, That's what That's.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
What would have made me. I'm like, goddamn if if
this is the message they're trying to get across, they're
trying to make us all look crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Yeah, and that to me is more offensive than anything.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
M hm. And he did really come across as this
guy's mentally ill. Yeah, I mean point blank, that to
me is just not the message you want to get across.
But one thing we do want to get across is
that we do have a store over at Tea Spring.
It's full of lovely goodies.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
We've we've got got print on them, it's got prints
on them. We've got cups, koozies prints on them, and
