Mike and Ari are happy to report that Wrong Turn 6 is one of the most unabashedly horniest movies we've ever covered on the show. Eschewing the traditional hot couples hooking up, this one has more of flair for kink, sadomasochism, and voyeurism. At least, it certainly does compared to most slasher movies, let alone the sixth entry in a long running, straight to video franchise. Is it a great movie? No, but it's a hell of a fun watch marked with some truly cheeky humor, a number of spectacular kill sequences and a standout performance from Sadie Katz as the villainous Sally, it just might be our favorite of the whole series

(00:32):
None. Hello everyone, and welcome to
the Pot and the Pendulum the horror movie podcast.
It covers all of the franchises one movie and one episode at a
time. And as always, I'm your host,
Mike's Noonian. I got to say, this week, I feel
like I need a little break. I've been working hard.

(00:53):
I am feeling burned out. It is time to pack an overnight
bag, hit the road and hid head for a little R&R as we head to
the Last Resort. This is my last resort.
This is my last resort. This is my Oh, we're still going

(01:14):
there. OK Papa Roach.
OK, thank you so much. We get a little bit excited for
a new addition to the board. Oh, new addition to the
soundboard. That's right, that's right, we
are here to talk. Wrong Turn 6.
As always, I'm not alone sittingin the Co host chair and she is
the author of Millennial Nastiesand as our long established

(01:35):
criminal genius, she is the onlyperson I would trust to stay
steal the priceless Knick knacksfrom said last resort.
Ari, how are we doing? You love a good humble.
People have said that about you.Yeah, you.
It's been said. It has definitely been said
about Ari. If there's one thing she loves,
it's a good humble, a good figurine, A good.

(01:56):
Knicker a glass goose with a little bow tie on.
For some reason I feel like that's at a grandma's house.
Oh my God, I remember all of thethe glass that that took me back
to Grandma's right. There in the pantry or the
covered thing that you're not allowed to touch.
Yeah, it's yeah. My grandma let us go in the

(02:17):
pantry and she always had buttoncandy, Hershey kisses or Hershey
bars in Coca-Cola. Like that is the thing I
remember the most. That's incredible.
She had this like little galley kitchen where like she brought
up her four sons like a 2 bedroom apartment where like my
dad and his three and they just this tiny, tiny place.

(02:39):
They did have like a back junk room that you were not allowed
to go in. So that might have been the
maybe more Knick knacks there maybe.
I think when she passed, like mycousins cleared it out and said
they just found like, you know, the old cliche of, like,
mattresses stuffed with cash. Yeah, that is pretty much what
they found. Yeah, Grandma.

(03:01):
So. Good for.
Her, yeah. So OK, well, before we dive into
tonight's episode and talk a little bit more about grannies
that can get it, Oh, I just feeldirty.
Oh, just realized I was talking about my own grandma and then
said that. Let us start with a small bit of

possible. So patreon.com/pod of the
Pendulum, Ari's whole series on I spin on your graves there
Brian's series on Nosferatu. Have you guys recorded on that
yet? Not yet.
I'm still sitting here nervouslywaiting.
Putting it off to the OK, not that I would know anything about
putting Patreon episodes up at the last minute, but tons of

(05:13):
really cool stuff out there. All right, Ari.
Yes. What are your initial thoughts
in this movie like? What are your first thoughts?
My goodness, what a weird, nastylittle gem.
I had so much fun I So this was the first time watch and I only
have seen this movie once just acouple of days ago, and I'm

(05:35):
really sad that I haven't seen it again because I feel like
there's actually quite a lot to dig through and like.
I'll have even more to say afterI sit with it for a while, but I
didn't expect it to be so so enjoyable.
It's it's after the opening kill, the opening kill is pretty

(05:57):
standard. And after that you really see
we're doing a tone shift, we're doing something else and that
was just really refreshing to see after like not especially
loving 5 too much and really hating 3.
This was a nice boost. I hated like my hatred for Five

(06:18):
could fill and could fuel a nuclear reactor.
Like that is how much I hated that movie so.
And also I did not like Part 3 at all.
Like those are two movies that made me question whether or not
I even liked horror movies anymore, let alone wanted to
continue to do a horror podcast.And I gotta say, like this was a

(06:41):
really good bounce back. It felt like Part 4 and Part 6
were really great bounce back entries after two really awful
movies, and you can hear our thoughts on those two entries if
you like. But like I said, like they're
just two of the least favorite things I've ever covered in.
I definitely found myself enjoying this one a lot 'cause

(07:03):
like you said, after you get to that first kill, which is pretty
bog standard, I have like one note on that which I think
you've saw here in my notes and which I don't know if you agree
or disagree with, but we can debate.
I just found myself strapped in for a good time.
And even like that first, like one of those kills in the first

(07:26):
scene is like really good. Yeah, it's like a great.
The beheading with the hooks, yeah, yeah, that was so
creative. I was like.
This is great. Yeah, but I was definitely there
was a lot of things to like really enjoy.
Like I'm not saying this is a good movie.
Like this is not like a particularly.
There's a lot of things you can question and some of the choices

(07:49):
are a bit suspect. And you know, there's I think
one really stand out performancethat we'll get to.
And the rest of them not the best.
They're kind of, but I think we're bad.
I like these characters a bit more overall, though.
There's one in particular where you're like, Oh my God, like you
could not wait for her to get her come up.

(08:10):
It's. The rude jersey Fake jersey
girl. The fake Snooki, Yeah.
Why was she doing a Snooki thing?
I was bizarre. Yeah, I couldn't figure that
out. And why was she so aggro in
everybody? Yeah, but we'll definitely talk
about that. Like the past few films, there's
not a lot in terms of the background.

(08:31):
The only note I had here really was this almost got completely
pulled from the shelves in kind of memory hold because there was
a court case in October of 2014.It was filed in Ireland that
there was like the unauthorized use of a photo of a woman who
went missing in County Wexford and the judge basically as a

(08:59):
result of a lawsuit. It was essentially like Fox is
like we could either spend a lotof money to fight this and
probably lose or we can pull themovie.
So at the time in November, 20thCentury Fox like recalled every
DVD in every Blu-ray release of the film that was out there.
Now if you had like if you were like a wrong turn Stan, if you

(09:22):
were like an OG wrong turn fan, just think like there is the
potential will be sitting on pretty probably a pretty
expensive piece of a collectibleat that point.
You love to have a banned movie in your hands.
Oh my goodness, like a real video.
Nasty. Because they had no plan to re
release or reissue the movie. They're like it's wrong turn 6.

(09:45):
Like we're not. This is in Casablanca 2.
You know, electric boogaloo. Back in the habit, yeah.
It's basically when Humphrey Bogart got into his break
dancing phase. A short lived, very not well
known and and in in Rick in Casablanca 2 he gets in a break

(10:07):
dancing contest with the Nazis and then finds out that he lures
them away from Nazism by like popping a fresh beat I think.
And it's really a story that is timeless and it's really, it's a
hero's journey. It really is.
Have you seen Casablanca too? I highly.

(10:27):
Recommend it. I have not even seen Casablanca
1. Oh my, you've.
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
I'm literally a trash goblin watching the most garbage movies
of all time. You've seen Hostile 3, correct?
Yeah, and that's like the worst movie I've ever seen.
But you haven't seen Casa Flanka.

(10:48):
I know. I want to.
I will. It's just like.
I don't want to shame you. We're all friends and all that
means is like you have the opportunity one day.
Exactly to. Experience it for the first
time. I have a treat ahead of me.
I'm excited for. That and I do think that I will
like, yeah. We did it for Valentine's Day at
the Brattle Theatre. Every Valentine's Day shows it

(11:09):
and my wife and I went on a little date and it was really
nice. Anyway, I'm a big romantic jerk
at heart. Anyway, the movie was eventually
reissued and just the photo was blurred out and I wonder if like
that scene when they're in the hotel room and they're looking
at pictures and everything looksblurry.
I was going to ask you about that.

(11:31):
I think that. Must be it my mind.
Yeah, I'm like, and my eyes failing me right now, like is
this something, what's going on here?
I think that must be it. That has to be that.
OK, yes, because if you also experienced that, because I was
like, is there something wrong with my disc?
Like, is there something wrong with my TV?
Like, do I need to adjust my settings?

(11:51):
Because they're looking at a wall of photographs and
everything else in the scene looks correct, but all of the
photographs are blurred. And it felt like a shining
moment where we're supposed to look for Jack Torrance in the
pictures on the wall. Like, I was like, oh, we're
going to see Danny in these family pictures or like someone
who looks like him, you know? But then I couldn't see

(12:12):
anything, and I felt like something was wrong.
But actually now this makes a lot of sense.
Yeah. And even when they show like the
one picture that's not blurry, like when it's the three, you
know, when it's like sawtooth and three finger in one eye,
when they show the three of them, like the way that picture
looks, it almost looks like likea shadowbox picture, like

(12:34):
they're way in the foreground. Yeah of it.
Like it's almost like a fake 3D effect.
And it's like a very weird thing.
It has to be that. OK yes.
So movie gross is about 1,000,000 bucks on DVD and
Blu-ray sale. So, you know, at this point
we're like a far away away from the days of Part 2 where, you

(12:57):
know, you're raking in almost $10 million in DVD and Blu-ray.
And I think it's in part for twothings.
Like one, it feels like the format has peaked.
Like we're not quite in the fullstreaming days like we are right
now, but they're definitely there.
Like people are starting to stream on Netflix and and I

(13:18):
think Prime is out by then stillpre shutter.
But also like this is the 6th movie in the wrong turn series
in part three and five. You know, like we're not no
great shakes. I think that like nobody was
going to clamor for it. Yeah, and 2014 is such an
interesting time in horror, too.Talk about that.

(13:42):
So that's when The Babadook comes out, and that is when
people, you know, clock the turninto elevated horror, which is
not a phrase that anybody uses seriously, but we all know what
we mean when we use it. So there you go.
But really like we start gettingmovies about intergenerational
trauma and mental health and mental illness and grief and

(14:05):
scary stuff in the family. Like we start to get those
movies around that time and we get into really wonderful things
like Hereditary and get out the witch, lots of others.
And we're really we we've fully wrapped up the nasty era like
2014. We've we've pretty well wrapped

(14:26):
it up by them. But Wrong Turn 6 is like
somebody told millennial nastiesthey couldn't do
intergenerational trauma and Ronturned 6 said hold my beer.
Sure. And it was like, we're going to
show up in this era and we're going to do mental illness and
generational trauma and creativeediting and we're going to hang

(14:47):
with you guys. You're getting movies like The
Conjuring franchises in full swing Yes, like you're getting
Annabelle that year you're getting like the probably big
horror release in terms of like mainstream aside from Annabelle
with something like the purge anarchy comes out that year.

(15:07):
So those are your bigger franchise movies along with like
the babadook. You get something it follows yes
that year as well. Creep is 2014, yes.
So how would. That be good.
So you're getting like, if not elevated like smarter horror
movies. Quieter.

(15:28):
Yeah. You know, more like subdued.
High concept, yes. And then and then you get stuff
like Kevin Smith does Tusk that year, which is kind of it's.
So weird. Yeah, it's super weird and kind
of awesome. I haven't watched it since I
went to like the press screeningat Fantastic Fest in 2014 and I

(15:52):
really dug it. I mean, I'm for a long time was
a huge Kevin Smith fan and it's like a movie that I think he
birthed after getting super stoned and talking about it on
his podcast. Like what would be a wild idea
for a movie? And they just lay out the whole
movie in like 5 minutes on his like at the time, like super

(16:14):
popular podcasts. And then he's like, I think we
should do this, like, the worst thing that happened to Kevin
Smith, who I will admit was not like, the greatest filmmaker in
the world, but I really enjoyed his stuff.
And he said this at like, a showI went to where he, like, talks
about his career. He's like, I have 3,000,000

(16:35):
followers on Twitter. If I just make movies for them,
I'll be fine. And I just felt like that was
probably the worst kind of attitude as an artist you can
have, because I think this is the last thing he did that
showed like a lot of real effort, and everything else
after that has been really, really bad.

(16:55):
What was after Tusk? Clerks 3, Yoga Hosers, Jay and
Silent Bob reboot, things like that.
Gotcha. So yeah.
Oh, and the guest. The guest is also.
Really. 2014, yeah. Oh, I thought you meant that was
Kevin Smith. No, no, no.

(17:15):
Kevin Smith did not do the guest.
I didn't think yes, the guest is2014.
What we do in Shadows, the movie, it's a it.
And so Wrong Turn 6 is really out of place here.
It really is like. But I love that for it.
Because not only so. Glad it didn't get, you know,
chucked into the. Pin because not only are like

(17:38):
nasty movies done, but like noneof those movies we mentioned are
slasher films either, right? So that genre is like it's
hibernating. Slashers, I don't think will
ever truly be dead, but they have like a resurgence for a few
years and then kind of quietly go back to sleep.
And then someone realizes, oh, we own the IP for Halloween, so

(18:02):
we should probably do something with that and print some money.
Yes. Yeah, So, yeah, So the opening
sequence of this, and we're not going to go beat by beat through
it, but I felt and tell me if you agree or disagree.
This was one of the most egregious examples of like,
super hot girlfriend, just like an absolutely stunningly

(18:25):
beautiful woman dating a total doofus and jamoke that I've ever
seen in a movie. Like.
I mean he was a regular dude, you know what I mean?
It's not like he was bad lookingat all.
He was a totally normal, handsome looking dude.
It's just that you put him next to this absolute supermodel who
was only there to be naked and get murdered.

(18:47):
Yes, she did great at both. Things was wonderful at those
jobs. Yeah, she did.
She showed up to work and clocked in and it was great, the
guy said. He's a normal looking dude so I
don't. Know he was so hairy.
Yeah, I mean, I kind of like hairy dudes.
OK, fair enough. You know, that's where I'm
coming from. I just like when she's like

(19:09):
standing at the foot of the hot spring and he's just in like, I
almost wondered, like, was this guy friends with a director?
Did he win a bet? Like was there some?
Be in the presence of this beautiful.
Woman was there some contest on like Ain't it Cool News or Dred
Central or it's like win a smallrole and Ron turned 6 and that

(19:31):
was the role that you were goingto win.
That's head cannon I like. It that is that I I would like
to and goodbye and good riddanceto ain't it Cool news as well as
we record this episode the worstblight in despite some good
writings coming from there. One of the worst blights in like
film journalism and fan entitlement that has ever been

(19:53):
so smell. You later.
I am not familiar at all so I'm going to have to Google that
later and like. Ketchup on the lore.
Fair enough. All right.
Where do you want to go with this?
Sorry, Take the wheel. OK I I where to even begin.
I love this movie so much so I like the point you made and I

(20:17):
didn't clock this. And Speaking of another movie
that I love that this movie has a lot in common with Texas
Chainsaw 3D. That movie comes out in 2013,
and we've got Heather inheritingfamily property and going down
to see it with her friends and leather faces there.

(20:39):
And you know, hilarity ensues. This is basically that plus
Midsummer. And like and even in comparison
to Midsummer, the protagonist's name is Danny in this.
Movie. But so we've got our protagonist
Danny, and he is a long lost relative of the Hillikers and

(21:00):
they find him after he had crashes out on Wall Street and
has a very public mental breakdown.
And they're like, this seems like the guy we want in charge
of things. So they bring him and his friend
down to their resort, which is quite a stretch of the word
resort. I was like, this is a dump in

(21:21):
the middle of nowhere. This is not a resort.
I thought it was kind of beautiful.
They the property definitely hadthe potential to be beautiful.
The property itself was beautiful, especially in the hot
spring. That was gorgeous.
The hotel itself is like fallingapart.
Fair enough. That's.
True in charge of like. Three fingers, not a good

(21:42):
maintenance person. No, he's not.
He does have their skills. He's an artist.
Yeah. So the whole movie centers on
the hillockers trying to get Danny on board while his friends
die one by one. And they're eating people.
So you mentioned here. Do you think the friends would
even have to die if they weren'tsuch Dicks throughout the whole

(22:06):
movie? I'm not sure because I think
that's a good point. So they, the family doesn't
realize that Danny's bringing friends and he brings like 2 car
loads of friends. It's a lot.
And they're like, well, we're going to have to think about how
to deal with you. And so it they really just their

(22:29):
end game is keeping Danny aroundso that he can have sex with his
long lost cousin and keep the hilliker blood strong.
So if they could have sent the friends away, they might have
lived. But the friends all act up and
get haunted by the hillikers. Yeah, they act like total jerks.

(22:53):
I mean, there's really no other way to describe them than being
like, because it's not just thatthey're there, it's also that,
like, they're making, like, inbred jokes.
They're making hillbilly jokes and backward.
And if you're a Jackson, you're like, hey, you know, this is my
family that you're talking shit about right now.

(23:15):
So Jackson, you know, I think he's not wrong.
He's absolutely like not wrong when it comes to kind of
defending his family. Although I found like, we've had
three presidents here, you know,Teddy Roosevelt, I think was it
Hoover, Herbert Hoover and Jefferson Davis?
I thought like, oh, that's, thatwas a pretty good little joke.

(23:39):
And, and their reaction like Jefferson Davis, like that was
good. I so do I not understand enough
history to get the joke? Oh, sure.
Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederacy
during the Civil War. So to call him a president like
was like that's. Oh, that's some deep.
See, that's what I'm saying thatwould.

(23:59):
Fly now, I think. Now I think that joke is like,
not even a joke. It's like, yes, President
Jefferson Davis. Right, this movie has smart shit
to say. Yeah, man, I am telling you.
But you have like Jillian, who she's so like when she when they
walk into her the bedroom they get right the suite they get

(24:23):
that room is giant. For one, yes, they have like
what looks like a larger than king size bed, like massive,
like 15 foot like vaulted ceilings.
It's not a dump. You know, it's not like they
brought them to like a Motel 5 1/2 because we can't even get to
6. And she's like, my best friend

(24:45):
is like the owner can't you do better?
And she's like giving him shit. It's like, girl, you're the
worst. Like I can't wait for you to
die. Yeah, yeah, the friends in this
one. Like there are a couple of guys
who I was like, I barely clock what you're about.
And then there's Jillian, who isreally rude, and then Tony, the

(25:06):
girlfriend who last the longest.But like, I think we're meant to
really hate Jillian in. Particular Oh yeah, you're
absolutely meant to like, despise Jillian, but good for
her because it will be the last resort that she ever checks
into. That's true.

(25:28):
She checks in, but she doesn't check out.
And her boyfriend like, kind of walks the line between being an
asshole and being like a good friend.
Because yeah. He's like, we're here to
support, you know, our buddy, like, yes, he had a breakdown,
but you know, he's still our friend.
He's like kind of on her whenever she goes overboard when

(25:52):
they meet with the cop who got those missing posters up very
quickly. In like 20 minutes. 20 minutes,
yeah. Yeah, Angus doesn't get on the
bus. So the town is like, OK, we got
to print missing posters. I'm like in movies they usually
tell you you have to wait 48 hours.
Exactly, it's like old white woman gone missing.

(26:14):
Let's get we have like a a speedthat Kinkos on speed dial at
that point, like we have this upand going.
But Brian, it's like, of course,we'll help out.
We'll keep an ear about and Jillian's like, well, is there a
reward? Like what's?
Right. Isn't the reward doing a good
deed? Right.
Come on, Jillian. Yeah, No, she is very.

(26:35):
They have her from the beginningpointing out how much everything
is valuable. Like antique wise.
She's like, this is a this is Confederate silverware and this
is something else. And she just knows how much she
can get for everything. And she's stealing, yes.
And she's like, got stuff in theback.
And that's when Brian's like, how much is this worth?

(26:58):
He's like, let me help you out Like Brian.
Flips. Is not above like absolutely
looting his friend's property ifit's going to make him a buck?
Yeah, absolutely. Can we talk about Agnes for a
second? Yes.
What are your thoughts? So listen, sexually harassing
servers is not funny and you shouldn't do it, but Agnes was

(27:22):
hilarious. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Continue. No, that's OK because she she
drops a fork so she can pinch Jackson's butt and then she gets
all dressed up for him to carry her luggage out.
And like, it would be cute and acceptable if she was just
flirting with him and not pinching his butt.
That's what puts it over the line.

(27:44):
But still, I was like, all right, Agnes, you, you go get
it. Get yours girl.
He's like, you're going to, you're going to get it.
She's like, I'm going to hold you to that.
And I'm like Agnes. She's like Blanche's character,
like the character of Blanche inGolden Girls.
You know what I mean? Like the hypersexual senior

(28:04):
citizen. This opinion might be unpopular
OK But I wonder if you just get to a certain age and you no
longer give a fuck where pinching the server on the
bottom isn't Like if you're like80 years old and you have like
basically two weeks to live. And if you're not like a total

(28:26):
Leech about it and there's not amassive power imbalance where
being a little bit of that kind of perv maybe isn't the worst.
That it's more like you still got it grandma or you still got
it gramps versus what a creep and a weirdo.
I'm going to go ahead and disagree.
That's fine. I'm not saying my opinion is

(28:48):
right. No, that's OK.
I want to agree with you in spirit, but then I'm like if I
was on the receiving. End of practice.
Think I would punch an old man? I think you would punch an old
man anyway though. Well, no, only I mean within
reason. Name your top five old men you
would punch. Vince McMahon?

(29:10):
Yep, five times. Vincent, man, five times.
OK, fair enough, fair enough. I think if Agnes pinched me on
the butt, I would kind of wink and have a little laugh about.
Yeah, have a little fun with it.Jackson's reaction is very I

(29:30):
mean, everything about Jackson is real intense.
He's very intense. Yeah.
And then her death is so like, you know, she's going to die
because the film is telling you that.
It's it's signaling that. But still, her death was so
abrupt to me and surprising because she just gets like a
knife to the chest thrown at herfrom a dark hallway.

(29:54):
And then I figured, oh, Jackson set the boys on her, but he
didn't. The boys went rogue.
The boys are back in town and they went they.
Sure are. I want a fan cut of these boys
just partying it up. That would be some behind the
scenes of the makeup set to likea little thin Lizzie.
Sure. Someone should make that happen.
Yeah. Someone with more video skills

(30:16):
than us. I I don't know.
I kind of love Agnes. I kind of feel like I get what
you're saying about like it's not.
OK. Let me ask you a question.
If, If, if it wasn't an old man,but if Agnes pinched you on the
bottom a little more acceptable or still.
See if if I say it's acceptable now I have to deal with whatever

(30:36):
consequences come from that whenold women start pinching me on
the butt. So I have to say no because I
can't live in a world where I'vesaid yes to this pre.
Emporation we start a patron level for like senior citizens
only or they can pinch one of the Co hosts on the butt and
depending on how high that levelis they get to pick.

(30:57):
I mean, everybody has a price. I've said it before.
Ted Dibiase said it and you've said it.
You've always agreed. I've always agreed with
everything Ted Dibiase. Said yeah, absolutely so.
There you go. I could pitcher Brian letting
Agnes pinch cuz Brian just very.He's such a chill dude.
Yeah, he's very chill in his tracksuit.
Little tracksuit going, oh Agnes, you can, you're going to

(31:20):
get yours one day and then does a mock shake his fist secretly
he's stewing inside. And I think Steven also would
appreciate. I think Steven would make like a
funny face and a noise. Yeah.
Nicole might cut her. Yeah, I think yeah, unless they

(31:40):
agreed upon it beforehand. True.
Nicole could be open minded to it.
That's true, but you. Don't surprise Nicole.
No, you definitely. One thing you don't want to do
is surprise. Nicole, don't do it.
Absolutely don't want to do that.
Absolutely not. Anyway, before we like lose Co
host because yeah. Because we're here talking shit
they can't defend themselves. I do think though that Agnes is

(32:03):
little escapade at the beginningsets it it it sets us on a
journey for a very sexual wrong turn movie with the likes of
which have never been seen. Never have.
Never. Not once.
So the original is sexless. Completely.
Yeah, almost completely. There's like the, oh, there's

(32:24):
like a couple at the car, Yeah. Yes, yes, Two's got some
interesting things in it. 3 has some like lecherous camera work
but no like sex acts. 4 has sex.5 yes. 5 is aggressively
heterosexual, I think. You said yes, that was wrong.

(32:47):
Turn no homo. It was but.
The 6th 1 is like all of the sexin the series up until this
movie. I would call slasher sex.
Yep. Where it's like the kind of sex
that you see in a slasher film and you just sort of go, OK, we
know why this is here, this is just to show boobs for a few

(33:08):
minutes and call it a day. The sex in Wrong Turn 6 is like
psychological thriller sex. Like Brian De Palma style sex.
Yes, yes, very much so. And it's, you know, it's, it's
meant to make you go, is this gross?

(33:29):
Is this titillating? Is this hot?
Because it hinges on incest, which bad, you know, upon the
pendulum famously against incest.
We've always said that. But you know what the number one
most searched for like? It's like the most searched for
term when you go to like a porn site is like.
I've. Heard that stepmother, step

(33:50):
sister, stepbrother like that isand obviously because like in
those movies like it's not really relatives getting it on.
It's like that titillation because it's so taboo.
Exactly. It's a taboo.
And that's what this is, is likethe kind of like sex here where
you said like, I don't quite know how I feel about this.

(34:10):
And if you're like feeling a bitturned on by it, you're like, am
I supposed to? Is there something wrong with
me? Like there's a non vanilla
aspect to the sexual encounters here that are like, and there's
a power dynamic as well. And some of the scenes like that
kind of like definitely there's some role reversal and there's

(34:31):
like that like definitely like a, a push for not just like
sexual conquest, but dominance as well that you really never
see in a, you know, especially adirect video 6 entry of a
slasher movie. Sex is running under the whole
movie because you, as you find out, I mean, you kind of figure

(34:54):
it out if you have ever watched a movie before.
But as the villains explain, when we start, you know, act
three, they've brought Danny here to keep the bloodline
going. And so the whole setup for this
movie is, you know, so Danny canget Sally pregnant.
And so like, Sally's got this sexual energy to her that is

(35:19):
just, it's almost like cracking her apart.
It's like radiating out of her. Like every interaction she has
is so charged with sexuality. I thought Sadie Katz, who played
Sally, was like the MVP of this movie.
She was incredible. Far and away, like she was like
a head and shoulders above all of the other performers because

(35:44):
like, you're right, I think she does bring that sexual energy to
it. And there's like a it's odd
because there are parts of her like it's I think she's were
meant to think she's a virgin, correct or.
I wasn't sure on that either. Or that she had tried to give
birth and it failed. Maybe it it's really unclear

(36:05):
because her brother keeps telling her save herself but
then also you get the sense thatthere's been failed pregnancies
so I'm not sure. So I don't know if that meant
that others had had the failed pregnancies and she hadn't.
But so there's like this idea that like there's still like
she's, I hate to say like a prize, but like there's like

(36:26):
supposed to be some sort of purity to her and that adds to
the allure. But there's also this like
sexual confidence in her that you don't often see and you
never see it in a kind of movie like this.
And it's incredible. But even above and beyond that,
like there's a couple moments when she like really like I put

(36:46):
Hulks up in the in it where she has that confrontation with Tony
at the end of the movie. And also like when she squares
up against like 3 finger and Sawtooth and one eye where she's
like screaming at them because like they've ruined her

(37:10):
interaction. Like when she was like basically
enjoying herself as a voyeur andthey ruined that.
And she shows like absolutely NoFear towards them and like neck
veins are popping out. She knows exactly what kind of
movie she's in and she's having a ton of fun with it.

(37:31):
I really enjoyed it. And then her line to livery, I
actually wrote down the line when she's like on top of, I
forget who it is, but Jillian's boyfriend Brian.
So she's on top of Brian and she's like, I can make you feel
better than that stuck up bitch.And I'm like, OK, that's hot.
I'm sorry. Like she could do anything to me

(37:54):
in that moment. Nothing would be off the table.
It's just her delivery and that whole line.
I'm like, fuck yeah. Like Sally, you get it?
You absolutely get it. And if that performance hadn't
been so strong, like if that hadbeen a different actor who
couldn't go, you know, 10 out of10 all the time like her, this

(38:15):
movie would maybe be ridiculous and unwatchable.
Sure, it would be OK. It would still be.
There's something to like. Yeah, yeah.
But she really like puts it headand shoulders.
Bob yeah, I usually watch moviestwice for the show, like
especially if it's a first time watch, which this was for me.

(38:38):
And so I watched it Tuesday night for the first time.
And usually the second viewing is a little bit of a slog or I'm
on a second screen or I'm takingnotes because I've already just
watched it. I was like looking forward to
the second viewing. And I was like, you know,
definitely like hope, hope the wife doesn't come down for some

(38:59):
of this, Like what are you or mydaughter doesn't come down.
Like what are you watching? I was looking forward to it.
And it was really because of like the character of Sally,
which I thought was just a really fun, well developed, kind
of, you know, king friendly character.
Yes, yes. And a couple of the kills, 2

(39:24):
kills in particular, that I'm thinking of are very sexualized
in a way that also hasn't reallybeen the case in the Wrong Turn
films. So Jillian and her boyfriend are
having sex in this? Oh my God.
Talk about the Chamber. We got to talk.
About talk about the fuck chamber.
The fuck chamber? So there's this like secret door

(39:46):
that leads to OK Have you ever seen the movie The Skulls from
like 2001? I've heard of it.
The Joshua Jackson, yes, secret society.
I've not seen it. OK, well, it's.
Ridiculous. And I love it.
But there's a this reminded me of the set in this, but it's got

(40:08):
like, it's kind of, it's almost like a theater where you've got
a sunken section in the middle where people can stand around on
an elevated platform and look down.
And it's a beautiful room. It's like ornate stone carvings.
It looks, you know, court, kind of like it could be a temple or
a religious place of worship. But in the center is a table

(40:34):
with leg stirrups. And anybody who's ever had to
have a pelvic exam, deliver a baby, have any type of procedure
like that, has had their feet inthese stirrups.
They're not sexy. They're like depends on.
Who you are, No. And I guess it depends on who
you are. But she, you know, Jillian sees

(40:55):
this and she's immediately like,OK, we're going to have sex
here. And I'm like, think about what
this place is used for. Like, it's, I mean, they clock
pretty easily that it's for other people to watch them have
sex. But I was like, do you think
it's consensual sex, Gillian? Because it's probably not.
But then we learned later that it probably.

(41:17):
Is it is, Yeah, I took it because I think because we know
like the family and the whole like I kind of clocked it as it
was OK, because it wasn't there were no other restraining
devices there. Do you know what I mean?
So. There aren't like wrist straps
or anything. I was just like, why the feet
stirrups? But and and they're not
interested in sex with anyone outside of the family.

(41:41):
Like they're not engaged in any sexual assault or any like
sexual violence. Like this death is the closest
you come to like a like sexual violence.
And even then it's like there's no sex.
It's just the implication of like how it happens is pretty
nasty. So Jillian is laid back on this

(42:04):
contraption and the boys the thethe hilliker boys like split her
basically and RIP her legs. Off even before that, like you
have Sally hiding in the shadowsand kind of pleasuring yourself.
Like, you know, she's not reallyhiding either.
Like, almost like she wanted to be caught.

(42:25):
I thought that like Jillian and and her boyfriend were going to
see her, but before that happensthe the boys come.
The boys are back in town and they and they give like Brian a
nasty head gash with like one ofthe statues.
And you're right, like Jillian is basically her legs are kind

(42:46):
of ripped from her body. Like she's like, yeah.
And it's a very like, see the sexual undertones there, that
idea of like penetrating someoneso deeply that you're splitting
them in half. Yes.
And for? Three men over her is a huge
like power play. It's really great.
It's grotesque, but it's very creative and.

(43:09):
It's not like they are not assaulting her sexually, they're
just straight up murdering her. Which is still not good.
No, it's not good. I'm not saying do it, but you.
Know we are not a pro murder. No website.
No. What was the next one I have?
Like I clocked like 3 in particular, but what was the

(43:30):
next one you had? The next one I had I guess there
are more but I was thinking of the firehose.
Oh yeah. That can I be honest with you
and I mean this complimentary that almost made me sick.
That was one of the more brutal deaths I've seen in a horror
movie and I loved it. I'm a feeling a little sick

(43:54):
thinking about it right now. Complimentary.
There's a I don't remember the guy's name.
I need to watch. It's Stoner character.
It's like the tokens Stoner character that we get in pretty
much all of these. Yes, but he's in that sex

(44:15):
chamber near the end of the movie.
Was he in sex chamber or was he in like the kitchen kind of
pantry area? I thought he was OK, I could be
wrong. Because they're holding him down
but more twisting him around like his body is almost like
it's almost like they've taken his hips and have done a 180.

(44:38):
Wow. Because his like ass is up but
his chest is facing forward. Oh God, it's.
Horrifying. Painful.
Yes. And so they shove like a like
like a fire hose or like a very strong hose up his ass and.
All I could think of was like Michael Richards and UHF yelling
you get to drink from the fire hose if have you ever seen UHF?

(45:03):
Yes, yes, I have. So you know the scene in a.
While but yes I do remember thatand they just fill him up with
water until his stomach burst. It's horrifying.
The thought of it is horrifying.Because you see like his stomach
bulging out, so you know. It's coming.
They they take their time. Like that's one thing this movie
does with its kills is it takes its time and like, I think that

(45:30):
they look pretty good. They don't look stellar, but I
think they look pretty good. And so you do, you see his
stomach filling up and filling up and you're like, Oh my God,
just burst already because I can't deal with this anymore.
And then it's like a little spray.
That's what's kind of funny. It's just like kind of like a
poof. And then it comes on.
You kind of almost expect more to kind of gush out.

(45:53):
But it was a really it was one of the more creative deaths I've
seen. It was very creative.
Yeah, kudos to that. The other one that I clocked was
like when Sally is tending to Brian and he is capacitated
because he basically, I mean, he's kind of on death's door.
So you're, he has a very tremendous like prosthetic

(46:15):
makeup work there where his likeforehead is split open with what
looks like a baseball size woundto the point where you can see
the skull. So his nervous system is shot
down and Sally is on top of him and like a little nightgown and
she's grinding on him and basically getting her pleasure

(46:39):
in, like taunting him. Like that's where the, you know,
I can make you feel better than that bitch.
But she's also like, do you likethis?
And he's like trying to say no, can't really speak.
And she's like definitely getting her jollies off, not
only in like rubbing against him, but his helplessness as
well. Again, that kind of like sub DOB

(47:01):
thing. This is a very non look, we're
all about consent, you know, in this situation, we, we, you
should be checking in, getting ayes, checking in again, making
sure things are good. That is not this.
It's a horror movie. These things happen.
Her brother comes in is like bring him to the kitchen, which

(47:22):
we know with it's like when the Dudley's say get the tables.
Get the tables. You know someone's going through
a table, you go to the kitchen, you know someone's going through
a meat. Grinder.
Meat grinder, yes, but. The way she offs him, like she
puts the pillow on his face, climbs on and basically gets
herself off smothering him in between her thighs.

(47:44):
Which is very creative. I would not mind going out that
way, I got to admit. Like there are far worse ways to
die. And she like, she's so committed
to the fit at that point that you're just like, yes, of course
this is sexy for her. Like we're we're in, we're with
her on that. And she only ever wears white,

(48:05):
which is a really interesting choice to, like, signify her
purity. But then you see her doing all
of these horrible, impure thingson screen.
Yeah, very creative death. Yeah, the death that's not
sexual, but I thought was still really well executed was the

(48:26):
hunting scene where you had I. Had that scene.
Yeah, what did you? So what did you think?
I thought that honestly, like, especially in this franchise,
but even just in general, the hunting scene is like some
really great filmmaking, like creative storytelling.
So we've got Jackson taking Danny into the woods to teach

(48:49):
him how to bow hunt, and they'rehunting a doll.
And it's interspersed with thesescenes of one of the hilliker
boys hunting like a yeah, the sheriff.
And so they'll be like, oh, lineup the shot and you see the
sheriff. And so they cut it together to
make it look like Danny shoots the sheriff.

(49:10):
That's not what happens. He shoots a deer, The hilliker
boy shoots the sheriff. But the way the scene is put
together and the tension slowly building, it's telling you like
eventually Danny will do this toa human.
It's it's telling you this is Danny's future.
This is what he's working towards.
He is a natural at shooting the deer.

(49:30):
He gets it on his first try and they take that as evidence of
how much he fits into the familyand will be killing humans soon
enough. It's just brutal.
Can you see how quickly Danny isbrought into this clan, how
appealing it is to him? I didn't catch this on the 1st

(49:52):
watch for some reason, that he was adopted, that he didn't know
of his birth family, didn't really know anyone.
And then so this idea of like finding his family was like very
alluring to him. And you see how quickly like
Jackson in particular and Sally as well, they're able to pull

(50:13):
him away from Tony, his girlfriend and all the friends.
And you know, Tony is very much like when the idea of hunting is
first suggested. She's very judge mental against
it like you like he's I've neverhaunted before and I want to
keep it that way. And Jackson, who I think isn't

(50:33):
wrong, says, and I'm not a hunter, but I know people that
have haunted and I know that they tend to take very good care
of the environment. Like they're very respectful of
it. By and large, his response is
like you're, you know, pretty quick words for someone who's
never even done this before. Ken, he's definitely not wrong.

(50:56):
They're able to pull him like Tony is.
Would clueless be a good word? Tony's an interesting character.
She's a much more mature girlfriend than we've seen in
the franchise I think for the most part.
And she seems to really love andcare about Danny.

(51:17):
And like we really only see her focus on Danny.
And so she might be clueless, but I also think she's like
pushing things aside for him. And she's simultaneously trying
to encourage him to get to know his family, but also to watch
out for the red flags. And because she doesn't want to

(51:38):
tell him too straightforwardly, like this situation is fucked.
We need to get out of here. She is dancing around that too
much. And so she does come off as
clueless, but I don't think she is.
Like she kind of feels like something's off, the whole.
Time. Here's why I suggest this
though. OK?
She walks on in on him after he's gone hunting and he's

(51:59):
injured himself. He's lied up and he's shirtless.
Sally is a stride him and he's covered in blood and she's like,
where have you been? No comment whatsoever on the
fact that like, hey, you're cut.Your face and upper torso are
covered in blood right now. Like no sort of like recognition

(52:22):
of that whatsoever. It's and also does not notice
that his entire bottle of mentalhealth medication has been
flushed down the toilet. We get we get the milestone
point in the movie when he flushes his meds.
He doesn't need him now because natures his medicine.

(52:42):
Yeah, RFK junior before RFK. Oh.
My God he has a worm in his brain.
As a person who takes psychotropic drugs and benefits
from them greatly, please don't flush your medicine, guys.
Like if you don't want, if you, if you think your medicine's not
working for you, please talk to your doctor.
Definitely don't put it in the water system.

(53:03):
That's really bad to do. But it is great in movies.
It's such a, it's such a mood ina movie when someone flushes
their meds because you know fromthat point on they are, they're
just off the rails, man. It's.
One of the most dangerous thingsyou can do is to try to quit
your psychotropic meds cold Turkey.

(53:26):
Like there is like far fewer dangerous things you can do.
Like it will increase the risk for like a a an episode
immensely. If you're just like I quit and
then stop taking them without like the without the guidance of
like your psychiatrist or primary care physician, like

(53:46):
please, please, please don't don't ever do that.
Don't do it, Dallas. Do it what Danny did.
But I figured Danny thought thatthat maybe this is my last
resort. This is my that's what he must
have thought what it was, you know, because he wanted to get
to know his family. It was his last resort.
He flushes his meds. He puts on a button up shirt and

(54:09):
he goes. He, he, he goes outside.
He just, he's just like, I'm better now, guys, Yeah.
Danny is he's it's weird becausehe's kind of like a we've said
this about some of the other entries, like I want Jensen
Echols. Like no, we have Jensen Echols
at home and then it's this guy because he definitely gave up

(54:33):
some of those vibes. I would love to hear and I wish
Nicole was here. I would love to hear her take on
the trio of like Sawtooth, one eye in three finger in this
movie. I know she's like not a huge fan
of the series. And fair enough, honestly,
especially up to this. Point.
Yeah. I mean, like, it's not exactly.

(54:55):
We've had ours. Yeah.
I kind of want to hear what her take is and like how the trio
are depicted here in Part 5 compared to the first two films.
Yeah. Because in Part 1, they're
autonomous, like they're workingunder their own agency.
There's really no other humans. Coordinated.
Yeah, Yes, in Part 1 they are. They're on the ball.

(55:19):
In Part 2, you get introduced tothe like the larger family
dynamic, but like they're still working within whatever, like
they're, they're equals within that kind of version of the
family dynamic, the nuclear family.
It's not like anybody is ordering them around or telling
them what to do or abusing them.It's like you're just seeing

(55:41):
like an expanded version of thatfamily part three.
You really only get like 3 finger in Part 3.
Barely in it. Yeah, yeah.
It's like really like they just the budget is like shaved to the
bone. So it's like we can only have
one of them by part by part 4, they're like younger, it's just

(56:03):
them in the asylum. Part 5, they're under the thumb
of like a non neurodivergent family member, like Doug
Bradley's character, who like I said in the last episode, he's
playing the role like he's MO Howard of the Three Stooges.
Like he's hitting them in the back of the head with wrenches.
He's slapping them around. He's calling them idiots.

(56:25):
Like he's definitely the leader and he's definitely he's abusing
them. I mean, let's no other way to
put it. Like he's definitely abusing
them in part 6. Like, you get the feeling that
like Jackson and Sally, they're the caretakers of not only the
three of them, but you see like almost like Todd Browning's

(56:48):
freaks, like this much larger contingent of this family.
And aside from Jackson and Sally, all of them present with
some sort of like physical, emotional or intellectual
impairment. I just find that fascinating
that all of the sudden you have like these, it's like kind of

(57:12):
like Leatherface and Texas Chainsaw.
You have these like characters that are now like under the
thumb in some way of the non neurodivergent persons.
Yes, it's an entire community and I mean it's also a fam.
They say the Word family. Enough time in this movies to
rival The Fast and the Furious in.

(57:32):
The Olive Garden when you're here in your family.
Yes, it's basically an Olive Garden commercial.
I was going to make a tour of Italy.
Joke. I I got nothing.
No, but there's a whole community there.
And when we open the wrong turn franchise, the the three boys

(57:54):
are three hillikers. They are the main men and they
know what's up in this community.
They are maybe somewhere among the middle of, you know, they're
not the bottom, but they're certainly not the top.
And they they kind of do their own thing when they disobey

(58:17):
Jackson and they like kind of gorogue.
And then he yells at them a little bit like Maynard and the
fifth one kind of yells at them.But Jackson also kind of stays
out of their way. He's like, just don't kill the
one we need to impregnate our sister and we'll be good and.
Which is a fair thing to. Super normal, Normal request.

(58:39):
There's a whole community of people out there.
And so then you wonder, like, OK, well, they must have a
system of taking care of each other.
Like, one of them is an older man in a rocking chair on a
porch. And then there are some, like,
young ones running around. And so there's just, like,
generations of these hillikers that we don't know anything

(59:00):
about. And so the world really opens up
in this movie more than it has before.
And our three boys, a couple of times they put on robes and they
have like a ceremonial presence,you know, they're they're
they're meant to be there for the conception.
And so, yeah, I. Feels like that was an untapped.

(59:22):
Yes. Plot point like there were
supposed to be more there and they just kind of like forgot to
kind of flesh that out. Yeah.
So my understanding is that thisis supposed to like the next
wrong turn movie is a definitivelike reboot of the series like

(59:43):
because it does move in a much different direction.
My take on this was it was supposed to be a reboot of the
series as well. Like this is a starting point.
You can kind of like flush the other ones you get the visual
of. Like at one point I thought that
was the. Radio tower that they're going

(01:00:04):
like when they go hunting, but it's not.
It's just like basically a deer perch, basically where you would
go and hide. You definitely recall that, but
it's not supposed to be the burnt out remains.
Do you think this works as a reboot of the series, or does it
feel more like a continuation ofwhat you see?

(01:00:25):
I think it could absolutely be areboot.
It can be an entry point into the franchise where you can kind
of take or leave the the ones before it.
The Wrong Turn franchise has a little bit of the choose your
own adventure element of Halloween or Saw where you can
like put certain ones together and create different timelines

(01:00:45):
of events. But you could absolutely just
like if people are listening to this and they're like, this
sounds great. I've never seen a wrong Turn
movie. You could just start with this
one if you want to. Yeah, it feels like almost all
of them are like that. Really.
Like you can watch the second one first and not miss anything
you can watch. Yeah, that's.
True, the fifth one first, or even the 4th one first.

(01:01:08):
And not really. You can watch the third one
first and never watch a movie again.
Cinema Forever. Just quit movies.
Throw out your TV. No, I think what I mean by like
because you're right story wise you absolutely could just watch
any of these stand alone. I think the 6th one in my

(01:01:29):
opinion, and this is my third favorite of the franchise, the
6th 1 is a strong enough entry to be its own starting point.
I don't think you know 3-4 and five are strong enough to be
their own entry like starting point.

(01:01:49):
Gotcha. I got you with this.
Stands out on its own enough andgives you enough.
Yeah. Yeah.
I would say he almost wanted to be a reboot, too, because by
this point, what was supposed tobe like a giant, vast,
unexplored wilderness where you make one wrong, one wrong turn,
and all the sudden you're lost. Well, now you have like a paper

(01:02:13):
mill and in a psychiatric facility and a resort, it's like
this is just everything you havelike hot.
Springs. East Coast Coachella, you know.
Yeah, I was going to say, you got the Mountain Man Music
Festival. Yeah.
It's, you know, it's almost like, is this really the wood?

(01:02:33):
You come to find out it's not really a wood that's a
cul-de-sac. That's really.
Yeah, it's what it is. I With every movie I got further
away from understanding the geography of the place.
It's definitely a little bit difficult.
Yeah. Am I wrong like?
A Universal Studios type theme park, though of all the wrong
turn. Settings.
I would go to that. That would be probably the least

(01:02:55):
well attended. Yeah, I'd be like, woo.
This would be yeah, You're hanging out.
That would be incredible. I do because they just opened up
like dark universe at yes universe and I'm like, I have
not. We last time we went was like 2
years ago and I think like my wife was like you were a

(01:03:15):
universal doubt at this point and now I'm like super tempted.
There's new stuff. Yeah, I know there's like new
stuff I want to check out. I heard like there's like a is
it a Bride of Frankenstein or a Frankenstein coaster that's
supposed to be amazing? So we'll see.
Am I under the wrong impression that Danny, because you

(01:03:38):
mentioned Midsommar, am I under the impression that Danny got
totally Midsommarred into havingsex with Sally?
Correct. Like they drug him and OK.
Yep, they drug him and so you know, by the end of the film
he's all in. He's happy to be here, but they
do absolutely give him the the Christian Midsummer treatment

(01:04:01):
where they take him out to the fire, they explain their family,
they give him some homemade moonshine or whatever, and it
makes him hallucinate so that hehas sex with Sally.
So yes, that is absolutely true.Yeah.
And it honestly didn't seem likethey really needed to convince

(01:04:22):
him that hard, leading to drug him.
He was in like, yeah, he was allin when she was like putting the
ointment on him. And he was like, no, please
don't, no. Stop touching my thighs.
I have a girlfriend, you're super hot and I'm kind of into
this, like don't look at my search history, you know, just

(01:04:42):
like he was like all about that at that point in the oh, the end
is like weird, man. The end is very he turns on Tony
very quickly. Yeah, he does try to give her a
chance to get away, but then, yeah.

(01:05:02):
And it's not her fault she doesn't.
Right, right. Yeah.
He's at this point, he's just all over the place.
He has fully lost the plot. So this is.
What happens when you throw out your medication?
Although probably not in six hours though.
But yeah, he turns on Tony and by the end of the movie he is

(01:05:25):
happily choosing to have more sex with Sally in the in the
fuck palace, whatever that placeis with the stirrups.
How did? She lose her leg.
She got shot in the knee. I missed that.
OK, I kind of missed that. All right, that makes sense.
Then I saw her get hit in the face.
And by the way, Tony, for like acity girl that the kind of

(01:05:49):
country folk were like calling soft, like she fucks Sally up,
like dunks her in the hot oil and then like murders the shit
out of Jackson, like absolutely stabs that man to death.
Yeah, she really goes crazy on him, like with rage.
This is great. You love to see it.
Yeah, unless you're Jackson. Yeah.

(01:06:12):
That you don't want to see. I kind of felt like Danny was
going to be a much kinder caretaker as well.
Like, he's going to. You could see him getting into
profit sharing with the three villains, you know, like, hey,
you know, we're going to have stock options.
Yeah, you could definitely see him, you know, And then, like, I

(01:06:33):
hope so. Sally gets the happiest ending
of all in this movie. So Happy Like this is good for
her film for Sally right where she gets everything she wants.
She gets to be bedded by Danny over and over again until they
have a baby while the her creepycousins watch with monk robes.
On Yep, which it brought me backto my wedding night.

(01:06:57):
It really. You know who can?
Who couldn't relate? Who could not relate to having
their creepy cousins? Well, I it was that.
What else do we have here? What else do we have on long
turn 5? It's.
Like a real quick final little twist at the end.
Not A twist, but like a little extra Stinger where Danny's

(01:07:21):
running his hotel and he's very welcoming and he's like, hello
everybody. And you see, so there's a buffet
going and there's a sign up thatsays Tony's restaurant, which is
very, you know, a little, a little fuck you to her.
And it's like, got a weight it it's kind of a RIP off of Weight

(01:07:41):
Watchers. It's called weight droppers.
Their logos up there. And he says to a woman, how are
are you enjoying our all proteinbuffet?
And she's like, oh, I've lost 6 lbs already.
And so I'm like, wow, we're justtaking one extra minute here to
like shine a light on like diet culture and like the things

(01:08:02):
people will do to lose weight. Like, obviously these people
don't know they're eating human flesh.
They probably wouldn't choose to, but it's like, I'll do
anything to be skinny. I'll even eat human flesh.
And they just throw that it at the end with no examination.
And I was like, oh, we need likean hour to unpack that.
So I love that. It's like in Texas Chainsaw too,

(01:08:23):
when they asked to cook after the chili Victor, he's like the
secret ingredient is the meat and you know what's in the meat.
It's kind of fantastic. No, you're right.
Where you do have that, like it's a very, you know, they're
very like portly bunch of peoplethat are milling about and you

(01:08:44):
can tell like the hotel's been done up again.
You see him like grinding away at some of the like the human
flesh. And I'm wondering like on these
trips, does like one person justkind of go missing every trip?
Do a handful of people just not turn back up?
And then that is how you end up,you know, getting the buffet

(01:09:08):
going for the next one. It was very interesting to kind
of ponder that one a bit. What if the 6th 1 is the first
movie and all the other movies are them collecting victims for
the hotel buffet? That's a really good point.
That's a really. Good point, made me crazy.
Like I don't know if my brain isjust broken from watching all

(01:09:30):
these movies but I feel like I'mgoing to make wrong turn 6 my
whole personality for like about3 weeks.
How would you just like really, what would your personality?
Oh, watching it a lot, posting about it a lot, starting five
different essays that I never finish about it, talking about
it in conversations where it's not welcome.
I feel like I'm going to do thatfor a while.

(01:09:52):
I think you should do that. OK, I think what website wants
an essay about wrong turn 6 Probably none of them.
Somebody wants it out there. Well, I think you brought up
like, you know, we could definitely kink in horror.
You could definitely take that angle.
You could do like diet culture in horror.
You could do that. You could do like city versus

(01:10:14):
country folk and you could do like common misconceptions.
You could have like vampire. Game of Thrones.
It well, I was going to say likeJackson's outfit and he gets
like a matching one for Danny like squashbuckler Vampire
Lestat cosplayers like yes, it's.

(01:10:35):
His costuming is a choice. It is definitely.
It doesn't scream like backwoodsof West Virginia.
It screams like I'm a 17th century French aristocrat.
Right. It's bizarre.
And I'm there for it. I'm absolutely there for all of
it. Well, I think we got it.

(01:10:56):
I think we did. Everybody go watch this movie
because it's actually fantastic if you have.
Not seen Wrong turn 6. Are we doing a ranking episode
for the wrong turn series? I didn't have one in the
schedule, but you. Should probably do one because I
do think there's enough to bait now with because I like 1 246 in

(01:11:19):
the reboot so out of the those are.
Exactly my picks as well. Those are what order though.
The order is going to be the interesting thing.
Yeah, that's. True.
No spoilers. Feel my order?
Yeah, let's not influence one another.
I mean, like, we know my bottom pick.
I mean, that one's pretty prettyobvious.
And that one almost made you quit everything really legit.

(01:11:41):
I legit felt bad. I did not.
I talked. To my I talked to my husband
about it. I was like, I really picked a
movie. It really upset Mike and now he
doesn't want a podcast. No, I did not want you to feel
that I I was. Fine, after we actually talked
about it, I was. Yeah, 'cause even though the
movie was terrible. Talking about it was.

(01:12:03):
Fun is always a lot of fun to talk to, y'all.
Absolutely, it was a lot of goodtime.
So Speaking of good times, Ari, what do you have coming up?
Oh, you know, just hanging out around here mostly so you can
follow all my nonsense at Ari under score Hellraiser on all
the socials. If you want to watch me make
this movie, my whole personalityfor a few weeks, that's where

(01:12:25):
you'll find me. Absolutely I I encourage that
and want you to do that folks. You can find me at Mike's
Noonian on blue ski. Same thing on Instagram.
You can follow the show at pod and pendulum on blue ski pod and
pendulum on Instagram. Follow me at Mike Chump change
over on Letterbox where you can see my reviews on this as well

(01:12:50):
as like tons of others. Like I'm kind of like already at
160 movies for the year. I just like nice.
But yeah, just like every night after work, throw something on
in some days, multiple things. Got to see Sinners this weekend.
Oh I know, I'm excited for that one.
Might do a double feature of that and drop so that.

(01:13:13):
'D be good. But that's really it.
When we come back next week, we will be talking 2021's Wrong
Turn the Reboot, and that shouldbe a fun one.
I think that's what I really enjoyed.
I'm looking forward to kind of watching it again and I think we
have a couple guests lined up for that one as well.

(01:13:34):
So some that would be really fantastic.
But until then, everybody have agreat week.
You know, maybe pack a little overnight.
You deserve a treat. Listen, if you've made it this
far with us, who deserve a treat?
Pack an overnight bag, find a little resort, find a little Hot
Springs. Just try to make sure they have
a vegetarian menu. You are all set.

(01:13:57):
Take care.
