KFI Later with bo Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
And we love sequels or do we not love sequels?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Because there are some movies, some franchises, they've probably become
really long in the tooth and they may not need
another sequel. And there's just some bad movies that don't
deserve a sequel at all. But here we're going to
tell you about ten upcoming movie sequels. I want to
get everyone's thoughts on this as far as whether we
want to see them or not or is it just
(00:53):
too much? If I said, well, I am gonna say,
do we need another?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Mark?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Oh, I think they've cut off his board. I didn't
do that, Mark, I can't. I didn't do that to
you that. I guess that was Stefan because he does.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
To like you. What's what's the matter? Mark?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Your your Your MIC's cut off? Let's get the camera
on Mark real quick, Daniel.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What's wrong? Mark? What's wrong? Mark? Stephan? There we go?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Sorry Stephan? Why what happened there? I honestly don't know.
I must have done that. It was a mistake.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, we know which side he's on, Mark Beetlejuice, yes
or no?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Absolutely? Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I thought the last one was lots of fun, didn't you. No,
I'm not a Beetlejuice fan. Okaya, I didn't see it.
I didn't see the last one. I didn't like Beetlejuice
that much the first time around. That's something that I
was like, oh, Beatle, I know the character, and you
say beetlejuice, beetle juice, beetle juice, but the character was
annoying and obnoxious, and it was like it was like
(02:05):
hard to watch. I was like, get this freaky thing
out of here, this is uh breaking your character. Usually
I'm the one who wouldn't like something like this.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
That's not Beetlejuice was not my jump. Okay, all right,
do you want to see a Toy Story five? Absolutely? Yes, sir?
Ye sign up. I don't. I don't think I do.
I do wouldn't cross the street for it. I was
fine with we.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
We We spoke to John Ratzenberger for Toy Story four.
At that point, I was pretty much done. I was like,
how many times can you end the story of the
kid growing up and you know's my.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Thing as a lifetime toy collector. I love the idea
of this story. I want to see more. I want
to see where they can go beyond Woody and Buzz.
I want to see where they go.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Like the third one was like almost a perfect ending,
perfect ending, but I did like four.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah. See see that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Now we're getting to multi generational toys being passed on,
and I don't know if toys in this portion of
the twenty first century still makes sense in the same way.
It's about the kids, all right, let me tell you,
let me ask you this. Are your kids gonna play
with dolls in the way that you have not action
(03:24):
figures but dolls.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You have Andy, which is a doll. Yes, Andy is
a doll.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, Buzz light Year is a toy that probably doesn't
have any type of This appeals to when my children,
who are way past the age of toys, when they
like toys.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yes, my daughter loved dolls. She loved barbies and dolls
and all that. My son loved Thomas the Train and
all those little action figure things. They actually liked the
toy story, toys, Slinky and Woody, and they liked all
this stuff. So I'm like, this is cool for them.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Way now, when would they playing with them when they
were kids, when they went how old is your son? Now?
My son is eighteen. But you know what, he'd want
to see this. He would absolutely want to see this,
all right? This the Resurrection of the Christ? What no?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Oh oh yeah, Mel Gibson's ye. What's it's the second
one called the Passion of Christ. The first one, This
is the Resurrection of the Christ Passion to electric Boogle
of the Loop.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yes, number seven on this list would be Roadhouse two.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Why oh another Jake Jillenhall one. No way, well it is?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Is it with him?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
With Jake Jillenhall, So it clearly didn't. It did well?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Then it has fifty million viewers. Look, here's the problem.
Here's the here's the problem. Here's the problem. You can't
go town to town murdering, killing, blowing places up at
at dive bars. He can't go to another town with
all the murder that's following him.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
The first Roadhouse can't do it. Stop it. So this
is critic from more of a legal perspective than a
film going well, it was a bad movie.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Though.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Here's the thing. No, it was it was They called
a roadhouse? Why because it wasn't a roadhouse. No, it
should have been road Apple. It was terrible.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And you can't have Jake Jillenhall, who is, to your point,
a known figure in MMA, continue to beat up people
and never get sut. It can't okay, it'd be you
can't have it if it was just a random person
like Dalton, all right in today's world. But to have
a known MMA fighter doing it as well, it just
(05:36):
makes no sense. And what made Roadhouse so good? Was
it fit for nineteen eighty nine? Whatever it was not
in twenty twenty five. You can't repeat that.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Jaycy Penny is coming to town because of me. Wait,
let's ask Carnecia real quick. Have you seen that movie?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
No?
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I have not.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You don't do this again. It wasn't it almost like
you're sitting next to me.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
You have a knife in your heads.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
He's I got the seven eleven. I got the seven eleven.
J C.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Petty kind because it made the photo back Brad Wesley
means nothing to you, does it?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Oh my goodness?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Oh it's also not Roadhouse without Sam Elliott. He made
that movie. It's not Roadhouse without Patrick Swayze. He's true enough.
The remake wasn't very good at all.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I mean, you really don't have anyone from that cast.
If they at least had a cameo from the first one,
I would be more inclined to accept it. It's like, Okay,
it's been endorsed by one of the original cast members.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Who's even still alive besides Kelly Lynch Sam Elliott, Oh,
I guess he is.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, sorry, the one that he mentioned, Well, he's getting
up there. I mean he was in the original mission. Impossible,
he's he's getting up there in years now.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
No, with the exception of that, I think all of
the limits are dead.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I'm being serious. Yeah, yeah, Ben Gizar is gone.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
But you could have you could have, like you could
have some of the people that he that he trained, like, yeah,
I worked under Dog. It could be like a whole
thing of like Dalton is dead and we're carrying.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
On the No.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I know they can tie it in, but I would
want to see actual people like No, that's that's if
David had a bit part in the movie.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
He could Oh, he could be the one that's opening
up the bar. Now times are change. They could go
in and be like, yay, my man, He's.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Like, yeah, times have changed. No, I've got the bar.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I doubt it if you're still tending bar at eighty years. No, no,
I say he owns the bar. Okay, he owns the
Double Ducee. He owns the Double duce Dogma. I would
say yes.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Like the first one that that story had, that story
ended with like a I wonder what it's next?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I actually I would reach out to Kevin Smith and say, hey,
what's what's the timeline on hat I'm on?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, what is this all about? Patrick Swayze? Dirty dancing too?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
No, they are doing that into me. I'm like, didn't
that town learn us less than the first time. It's
like trying to do another footloose. You just can't. Number
four on this list is The Ice Road to Road
to the Sky. I don't remember The Ice Road.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I don't That is a good movie. What do you
know about movies? You have to see Roadhouse about this one?
This one is really good.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Ice Ice Road. What that's what with Liam Neeson? That's
why I didn't see it.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
That's the one with Laurence Fishburn who died in the
first one.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah, see I watched nothing that has Liam Neeson in it,
so that's why it isn't.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah. Sorry, here's my thing.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Here's a thing I found out about the true Niss
after taken. I found after I will never go back.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Blue Streak two, Hell's no, what is Blue Streek.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The that's not the train one? Is it? Isn't this
the one where he got beat up. He's a cop.
He's a cop, but he's not a real cop. He's
a fake.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
He's a fake cop. He's a fake And weren't they
like metro cops or something.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I don't know, but it was it was bad.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That doesn't need I mean, it wasn't bad, but it
wasn't doesn't need a second, doesn't need it. It's almost like,
what was the one he was like a night? Oh yeah,
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I forgot.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I think it's literally called like night day or night
something like that something night.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I know he goes back to like to back in
the medieval time. I remember that, Uh, Spring Breakers, Salvation Mountain.
I didn't see the first one. That's one of those
Independent A twenty four.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It was it was weird.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yeah, the young people would see that. Yeah, people, And
that's the harmony Karin One. Yeah, that's kind of messed up.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, I don't. I can't imagine a sequel to that exactly. Hey,
Mark the Return of the Living Dead.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Uh, that's I think John Russo then the one that
was played for comedy and not George Romero.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I was not a fan of that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
There's going to be Trash's revenge, the Revenge excuse me,
the Return of the Living Dead universe.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yeah, I'm not so crazy about the the Georgia Merrow
Night Dawn Day movies though, those are good and the
quality kind of declines as he goes on. But Night
and Dawn you can't go wrong with those ever.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Ever, ever?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay, all right, if you say so, I mean and
some barbecue, some ribs. What do you know about barbecue?
Half black man?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Oh, you want to tell me about music again? You
get into that. Yeah, let's do that. We don't have time.
But when we come back.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
When you tell us what you did as a youth
and all of your hulanism.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
You can't impose conditions on me being right about Fats Domino.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
What's the name of the show we got to go? Really,
what's the name of the newscast? We gotta we Gotta four.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
No, but real quick, the movie was Petro's teams me.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
It's literally called Black Knight. That was the night Black Knight.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So bad.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, he like fell in the moat at at an
amusement park or something.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It goes like back in time or something. Yeah. So
it's like a kinetic Yankee with Martin Lawrence something like that. Yeah,
something like that. No, no, no, if you haven't seen it,
do not seek it out.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Negative k IF I Am six forty live everywhere in
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
KI Later with mo Kelly. We're loving on YouTube, Instagram,
the iHeartRadio app. And I get a lot of uh
trolling from folks when I tell them.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I've never been to a drive in movie in memory.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
In other words, my parents told me about the times
they would take me to the drive in with my
sister because they didn't get a babysitter. But I don't
have any first hand memory of ever going to a
drive in movie theater.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
There's so much fun. Now, I hear they are you
have gone as an adult? No, I have not. I
have not and it's only because I think I've always.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Preferred the in theater experience the idea of just sitting
in my car. It doesn't sound comfortable to me now,
but I was always I was single for most of
my life, so that really wasn't a consideration.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And there weren't any real drive in theaters around me.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I'm trying to think there was one in the Carson area,
and I think, uh, did the Rodium have one?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I can't, I can't don't know. I can think one
of the swap means.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Daniel says, yes, yes, Okay, so the Rodium had one,
but I never went. And I hear, to Mark's point,
great things about them. But what if I told you
about a drive in theater in Vermont which is massive
and people drive up to it, and there are houses
(12:57):
close enough where if you're in your own backyard, and
if you go to our YouTube simulcash, you can see
it right now. You can watch movies from your own backyard.
If you've ever been to Chicago. And I know Mark
knows something about this. There are folks who will watch
the Chicago Cubs games on top of their apartment buildings
because it's when it's within eyeshot of the field.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I was always fascinated by those those buildings and what
their rent must be.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Or it has to be through the roof, because that's
an added feature. The problem with this is this movie theater,
this drive in movie theater. The owners of the drive
in theater are telling residents that unless they pay for
the movie, to not hang out in their backyard.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Virtual eyes.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Wait a minute, Well you're telling me I gotta go
inside or something the movie. The movie is playing, and
if I sit in my backyard in my lawn chair
with a beverage and some snacks, you're telling me you're
gonna walk by my fence and say, hey, you goheaside.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That is exactly what this movie movie theater is trying
to do. They're saying that if you are not paying
for the movie and you're in your backyard watching it,
you're an effect stealing from us.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
No no, no, no no no, you are ruining my night.
I'm trying to chill in my house. You got this
bright screen blazing in my backyard.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Look, I don't know what to tell you, twala, but
this fool who owns the movie theater is threatening to
sue anyone who watches the movie from their backyard in
plain view.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
In plainview, I mean it is his movie theater, fireproof
or something. I don't understand those threats because that can
all go up in a blaze.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Now there is a law where're saying, like you cannot
build a contraption, in other words, to make viewing it easier,
Like you can't put up a deck which is so
high which allows you a better view of it. But
if you're just in your backyard, No, no, no, I pay
for this.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
This is my house. It is my backyard.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I wish your mother follow would try to tell me
when I can and can't go with my backyard unless
I want to entertain people. Look, no one told you
to place that movie theater in view of my backyard.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah nobody.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Also, you'd think with movie or with drive ins being
nearly extinct now, somebody owning one of the few remaining ones,
wouldn't do anything to make bad will with the public.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Look, if he wants to, that's his business. But I know,
I know there is no way in the world. This
is one of those fights that if I were a homeowner, Oh,
we're going to have this fight. Yeah, we're going to
go to court. I would love for you to make
the argument that I cannot go in my backyard and
look out over my wall and see whatever I can see,
and if your movie screen just happens to be there,
(15:50):
so be it. Because clearly, clearly the houses predated the
movie theater.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Plus, how would they enforce it? Well, he's talking about
suing them, that's the thing. Oh, that would be the
enforcement mechanism.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I'm going to counter sue for disturbing my peace, for
noise pollution, for being an a sola to the tenth degree. Look,
I promise you don't do that. As Cartneci would say,
don't do that. Okay, don't do that. We've gotta have problems,
(16:25):
one of the homeowners said.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
This past week and a few of us family members
were over and we had our chairs out on the
deck and Grandpa had burgers on the grill. We were
about ready to watch the movie when the owner of
the drive in came to the edge of the property line.
This wasn't just a neighborly hello. The owner then told
us the movie was for paying customers only. This left
(16:47):
us quite perplexed, and in order to avoid any confrontation.
My grandparents canceled movie night. I wouldn't cancel anything.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I would have said, stay, you're urs at the property line.
Come across the property line. You're going to find out
what happens when you trespass on my property.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
You can't look if light is coming over the property line.
If you don't want me to watch it, then have
it in closed theater.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
You're telling me I can't be out in my backyard
cooking and hanging out with the family with some lawn chair.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You are more than welcome to erect the fence whatever
the building code will allow you to put in that
zoning area.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I guess it's a mixed zone. Now make sure you
do it on your side of the property. That's right,
that's right. This is real simple.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Now, okay, but no, seriously, you have to go to drive.
The last one I went to, and we've been there
a few times, is the Paramount Driving. There's one in Glendale,
the Electric Dusk. I believe in Glendale. It's really really nice,
really nice, and it is a fun time. You may
not know, but it's a fun time chilling in the car.
(17:57):
Just watch a movie. It's just it's such a throwback
to yesteryear.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It is just fun.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Man dk Fuel in the YouTube chat says, it's like
telling people in Anaheim they can't enjoy the Disneyland fireworks
pretty much, pretty much.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
That's a great point. Yeah, it's up in the air.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I mean, you know, you're not doing anything special to
see it, or put it this way. I live close
enough to Sofi Stadium that there's sometimes I can hear
what's going on in Sofi Stadium. Are you gonna try
to charge me for tickets? Because I could hear Beyonce
shaking her ass? Send the money, you must send them money.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Or And this is something that that we grew up
dealing with in Pasadena. We we had friends who lived
near the Rose Woll not not along the hillside, but
you know, close up in the neighborhood where if there
was someone who was there playing for Samantha, Samantha Granbery,
you know, I know Samantha. Her mother's house is just
(18:57):
down the street from the Rose Bowl, And several times
we used to go there and be able to see
the fireworks and others just standing on top of the hill.
Now the roles where they start lowering the fireworks into
the bowl so but that's like, well, that's just to
your detriment, because now the fireworks show isn't fresh.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
If you live for those who live in the Inglewood area,
you'll know this. If you live near Darby Park, which
backs up right next to Sofi Stadium, there are plenty
of apartments, there are plenty of houses. I imagine you
can hear everything of every concert which is going on
at Sofi Stadium. Sofi Stadium is not completely enclosed. It's
(19:34):
not like the Key of Forum or the YouTube Theater,
which is enclosed.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
It's Sofi is pretty open air.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
It has like kind of a has a colosseum style
opening with pillars so the sound goes out. I mean,
I can only imagine them trying to tell people that
they have to pay some sort of fee each night
they have a concert there. And I know the drive
in movie theater to the point of yeah, it's it's
an ex inspiring business model and you need all the
(20:02):
help you can get. And I know he wants to
get all the money that he can get. But you
cannot tell the people who are It's not like they
were outside of their backyard and on your property. They're
in their backyard. Yeah, and if they were going to
spend money on your business, They're never going to spend
money on your business.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Now, Yeah, I would literally organize a community meaning a
community town hall, and we would vote to have the
drive through closed down for being a nuisance to the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yet, there's probably some sort of noise ordinance that it
has to be in violational because, like I said, I
don't know about the zoning.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It may be mixed zoning.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
But if you're hearing a movie, let's say at eleven
o'clock at night, because clearly the people who are in
their backyard.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Don't need any assistance to hear or see the movie.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, don't need any Yeah, they're not tuning into the
signal like you rid your car, they say, turn to
radio station or whatever and you'll be able to hear it. No,
they're just like in the backyard life Okay, chilling.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And what if you're someone who's like working a graveyard
shift or you have to get up.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Super early, Yeah, yeah, all of that.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Hopefully this will actually go to court because I would
love to see how this plays out. But I don't
see in any world where this drive drive in theater
actually wins case, we'll get tossed, you think, so, yep,
I don't. I would be more of the mindset to
counter suit because if you take me to court, I
have to counter sue, just because I have to get
(21:33):
a lawyer. I have to deal with this and it
may get tossed, but still I have to actually fight
it in court because it wouldn't be small claims.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It probably be big boy court.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So yeah, I would have to counter sue, and I
would counter suit for thousands and thousands of dollars. It
would have to be punitive so it doesn't happen again.
And that's the thing the drive in operators, they don't
have any money. That's and that's why, all right, partly
why they're asking for this money.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
But they don't have a leg to stand on in
this one. Oh and by the way, this just in
the Glendale wants closed for the season.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
For the season.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Well, the paramount has got to be opened, Mark, I'll
check on that. Yeah, the Paramount's got to be open.

This is the Runner Report.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
I wasn't about to watch the new Karate Kid movie
opening this weekend, and I have no intention and of
talking about it except for this right now, right here.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
We know everything we're going to know about it, and
if you're gonna see it, you're gonna see it. But
I went into a little horror film called Bring Her
Back more or Less blind. I hadn't even seen the trailer.
All I knew is that it was from the people
who did a respectable little horror movie called Talk to
Me three years ago, the Philippoo brothers, Danny and Michael,
and I got my hair blown back.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Here's just a little bit of the trailer.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
We we're gonna put you with a foster mom called Laura.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
You can love her.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Welcome to your new home, George's room.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I want to show you something else this.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Way be stuffed. I'm a weird little girl touches a
stuffed dog.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
How did she comes Cathy being gone?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
How did you cope with your daughter being gone? I
didn't bring her back? If you say bring her back
like later done, it doesn't sound so scary. It's a
little Australian horror story starring Sally Hawkins, who you might
remember from the Shape of Water as the nice lady
who gets it on with the fish man. She's not
so nice in this. Here's the one line description. A
brother and sister uncover terrifying ritual at a secluded home
(24:17):
of their new foster mother, and that doesn't even begin
to cover it. I'm not even sure this is a
review so much as a warning. This isn't a dopey
date night horror flick like that awful Final Destination movie
I reviewed here a couple of weeks ago. It's not
a bloody good time, as some of the hack critics
called that. It's messed up. It's disturbing. It's transgressive, shocking
horror for people who are into movies like Hereditary or
(24:40):
Midsummer and some ocular trauma. I was a child protective
services worker about a lifetime ago, and I can tell you,
having placed some kids in foster care, that's frightening enough
without the supernatural element. Let me put it this way.
There was just one couple in the late night screening
with me last night, and they were blabbing really loud
in the first part of the movie, and I gave
him a sh but I wasn't sure they heard it,
(25:01):
And as I was thinking about yelling at him to
shut the f up and waiting to see what they did,
I realized the movie was so unsettling that it had
shut them the f up. A little more about it.
After their father dies, a boy who's about to turn
eighteen in three months, and his younger sister who's vision impaired,
not blind impaired, they get placed in a foster home,
and their new foster mom goes from being quirky to
(25:24):
something a lot worse fast. She's still grieving her dead daughter,
and she's got a mute little boy who can't be
trusted with. The cat can't go outside a big white
circle surrounding the house. In horror movies, circles around things
are to keep terrible things in or.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
To keep them out.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Kids often ruin horror movies and pretty much everything else.
Let's be honest, but this is possibly the creepiest kit
I've ever seen in a movie. The new boy and
his sister just want a place to stay for the
three months till he turns eighteen, and then they'll move
out and he'll take care of her. But they're not
going to make it three months. And I don't want
to tell you a lot more than that. In terms
of plot species, it's a bit of a slow burn
(26:01):
with building dread punctuated by some seriously shocking incidents. I'm
pretty case hardened as a horror fan, but one of
these made me jump. Another one made me say Jesus
out loud in the theater, So now that couple probably
wanted to tell me to shut the f up. And
when things really get gone, you're in the hands of
some talented satus who crank up the discomfort and the
(26:23):
sickness so high you might want to leave. It's not
an easy watch, which is a major compliment for a
movie like this. It's easily one of the best horror
movies of this year so far. I'd say it's tied
with Sinners for best, but it's such a different, smaller, nastier,
more traumatizing experience that you can't really compare the two.
I think David Cronenberg would watch Bring Her Back and
(26:43):
think what's wrong with the guys who made this? The
guys who made it, the Philipoo brothers get so much
done with a little four and a half million dollar
budget that it's inspiring. I can't wait to see what
they do when a studio throws some actual money at
them to play with, and they will do. Not bring
your kids to this movie. Not bring your grandparents, Do
not bring anyone decent. This is nightmare fuel. It's about
(27:05):
grief and child abuse and protective love and possession and
what you do to get back someone who's loss absolutely
tortures you, and you won't be able to shake it
off right when you walk out of the theater into
the fresh air either. This one stuck with me. Sally
Hawkins terrific as the foster mom, but the scary little
boy upstages. Everyone give this kid either an oscar or
(27:26):
a bowl of raw meat. But that's not the pull quote.
Here's your pull quote, publicist. Bring Her Back made me
want to cry into a puddle of my own vomit.
Can't wait to see it again with a full audience
so I can watch them. I can't predict how much
Bring Her Back is going to make because it's strong stuff.
But I often see lists on Reddit of most disturbing
horror films and all the usual suspects are on it, Cannibal, Holocaust, Hereditary,
(27:49):
like I mentioned up top, the original French version of
Martyr's a Serbian film, which I won't watch. If you
know anything about that one, you'll understand why I think
Bring Her Back is going to become a permanent fixture
on those lists. We may have a new cult classic here, mo,
when are you and Twala and Fushian? I gonna go
see this? You sold me?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Really?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Already cult classic? I think possibly? Yeah, Yeah, it's that good.
But like I said, it's some serious business. And I
looked at some of the objections to the movie by
critics who panned it, and there aren't very many who do.
Their main objections seems to be that it's just too unpleasant.
A horror movie that's too unpleasant, it did its job
too well.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
The fact that you compared it or you brought up
Servian film like okay, you sold me, well, I haven't
seen that, And like I said, that's one of the
few that I won't because it's kind of a touchy
subject for me, especially as a former CPS worker.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
But if you're looking for a light, enjoyable horror film,
it is not this one. I mean, there's a time
and a place for everything. This is when you're in
the mood for something a little extra spicy. I compare
movies to food a lot. This is not comfort food.
Also a handsome little dadbod here on my part. There's
youruna report.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Moe. Wow, that was succinct. Well we were short on time,
No I did I.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Not say before the segment, take as much time as
you need, or you can carry it over into the
next segment.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I think people know everything they need to know about this.
I went in without knowing much at all, and I'm
glad that I did. And in fact, I just told
a couple of my horror friends see this, don't read anything,
don't watch the trailer. Tell me what you think when
when you're shuffling out traumatized.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
See. I'm not a big fan of today's horror.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I'm not a big fan of the genre overall because
I don't I don't need anything impact in my sleep.
I don't need to be traumatized I don't need to
jump out of fear. I don't like you in those
feelings at all. That's why I want you to go
with me and Tauala. It's fun to watch people watch
horror films that you've already seen. Nah, no, I'll pass. No,
(29:52):
I don't watch horror. Yeah no, I do not watch.
I don't believe the two of your dirty cowards. I
think we're gonna all see it together. It's a you're
gonna grip my arms in terror. It'll be fun. Nope,
how passed? Maybe Stephan will go with you? I would
there you go, got a date? Yeah, Stephan, he's got
some nerve when it comes to watching movies. He's asked
(30:14):
me about a few, and I've made some recommendation our
manhood like that reverse psychology is actually gonna I mean, hey,
you know what, go for self?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I mean, you know, nothing is gonna make me jump
up and say.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
What how dare you? I'm watching it now? No, no, sir.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
No Gauntlet can be throwing this really get me to
see some sick, twisted, uh fetish film for Team Shuttings.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Or whatever the hell it's about.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
It.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I understand.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
I understand the two of you are very sensitive, and
we can go to a break real fast. So the
two of you can go pee sitting down. It's fine.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Oh I almost cut wow wow, mother, so fast attention
FCC mother, father, Say.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
What Daniel cut off his camera? Stephen cutoff?
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Is Mike. We're gonna go meet him in the studio.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I think it's a whole. I think it's a hallway.
Uh filtered, unfiltered.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Okay, let's take this. Okay, we'll take this to the hallway.
I have work to do. Okay, well, we'll just bring
it in the newsroom. Then I'm locking the door. Oh crap,
the door doesn't have a lock.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
More informing, more engaging, it's more stimulating. Say aside and
the K O S T HD two Los Angeles. Orange
