00:00:25
Hello, happy Tuesday.
00:00:28
happy Tuesday.
00:00:30
Welcome back to Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:00:32
Welcome.
00:00:33
I'm so excited to talk about, I Saw the TV Glow.
00:00:36
I- You sound like an NPC.
00:00:37
I am so excited to talk about.
00:00:47
But yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:00:50
I'll kick us off.
00:00:52
Okay.
00:00:52
Roger Corman, he was a legendary filmmaker who was often referred to as the King of
00:00:58
the B's, as in B movies.
00:01:01
He was behind Little Shop of Horrors and Attack of the Crab Monsters.
00:01:06
He's passed away at 98 years old.
00:01:09
He was a pillar in the horror community, really the movie community.
00:01:13
John Carpenter tweeted on the night that Roger passed saying that Roger was one of
00:01:17
the most influential movie directors in
00:01:20
John's life, a great friend, and someone who shaped John's childhood.
00:01:24
So, large praise coming from John Carpenter.
00:01:26
For sure.
00:01:28
Definitely a sad loss.
00:01:31
Yeah, but 98, that's a big full life.
00:01:33
Yeah, for sure.
00:01:35
On my end, switching gears entirely, a 39 second teaser has been released for an
00:01:44
upcoming movie called The Substance, which is going to star Demi Moore.
00:01:49
The movie has been described as "an explosive feminist take on body horror."
00:01:55
Yeah.
00:01:56
So if you want to see the teaser, it is on Deadline .com.
00:01:59
Something tells me I'm not gonna enjoy that.
00:02:03
Something tells me I might.
00:02:06
Feminist body horror that sounds terrible.
00:02:09
That sounds like I don't want to watch that like ter- like terrible as in like...
00:02:14
You know.
00:02:15
Yeah.
00:02:17
Eeeh.
00:02:17
Okay, well, I thought Demi Moore was retired too.
00:02:20
Yeah, I can't think of anything she's been in recently.
00:02:22
Maybe this is her renaissance.
00:02:25
Yeah, I'll be honest and say I don't really keep up with her work, so she could
00:02:30
have been doing a lot of things that I would probably have no idea.
00:02:33
Yeah, fair.
00:02:34
Okay, I've got a tiny one.
00:02:36
It's very niche, but I thought it was interesting because I saw it on TikTok.
00:02:42
Madeline Petsch, you know, from The Strangers: Chapter One.
00:02:48
She did an interview.
00:02:49
She revealed that the axe scene from the trailer and from the movie, obviously,
00:02:54
where she's got her face up against the door and the axe, that was not CGI.
00:02:58
And her scream was real.
00:03:00
Her head was on the door and there was a person on the other side of the door with
00:03:04
an axe that chopped entirely through the wood next to her face.
00:03:08
Hell yeah, brother.
00:03:09
Yeah.
00:03:10
We love a good practical.
00:03:12
We do, although I'm sad a lot of people said that movie was ass.
00:03:17
We'll be the judges of that and we'll probably agree.
00:03:21
Yeah.
00:03:22
Ha!
00:03:25
Okay, last one for me.
00:03:28
Sony Pictures has announced that the next sequel in the I Know What You Did Last
00:03:31
Summer franchise already has a release date.
00:03:35
It's set for July 18th in 2025.
00:03:38
I didn't even know that they were having another movie in that franchise.
00:03:43
How, what movie is this?
00:03:46
What number?
00:03:48
Technically the fourth?
00:03:49
But a lot of people don't talk about the third one.
00:03:56
So, yeah.
00:04:00
But yeah, it's said that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr.
00:04:03
are in talks to reprise their roles.
00:04:06
So nothing's been officially confirmed yet, but I think Jennifer Love Hewitt said
00:04:10
earlier this year that she would be down, but she hasn't seen a script or anything.
00:04:15
So who's to say?
00:04:16
So confident to have a release date of a movie you haven't even cast yet.
00:04:22
Yeah.
00:04:23
Well, tune in in a few episodes when we announce that that movie's been pushed
00:04:26
back.
00:04:32
All right.
00:04:34
As the NPC at the beginning of the episode said, we're here to talk about I Saw the
00:04:38
TV Glow.
00:04:40
From the mouth of the director, Jane Schoenbrun, I Saw the TV Glow is a movie
00:04:45
about two lonely teenagers who find each other through their shared love of a
00:04:49
strange kind of scary kind of sweet TV show.
00:04:53
They get together every week to watch it.
00:04:55
But when their obsession gets out of hand, their sense of reality gets called into
00:04:59
question.
00:05:00
It stars Justice Smith as Owen and Brigette Lundy-Paine as Maddy.
00:05:06
It just released May 2024, has a 6 .8 currently out of 10 on IMDb and a 65 %
00:05:13
audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and 84 % certified fresh critics score.
00:05:17
Certified fresh.
00:05:19
By the critics, not by the audience.
00:05:23
By the critics.
00:05:26
Yeah, when I saw this, I saw this in theaters on...
00:05:29
Thursday of last week, I think.
00:05:32
Mm -hmm.
00:05:32
Right?
00:05:33
It doesn't matter.
00:05:34
And at that point, it had a like 98 % critic score and like a 20 % audience
00:05:42
score.
00:05:42
There was a huge discrepancy.
00:05:44
So that's a little bit more aligned now, but sheesh, the initial audiences did not
00:05:50
enjoy this movie.
00:05:51
Yeah, well, I guess like the initial audiences who went on to review.
00:05:59
Yeah, I saw this yesterday and as soon as the credits rolled, like everybody just
00:06:08
kind of sat there for a minute in silence.
00:06:11
Everybody was like, wait, what?
00:06:14
And then I was like the first person to get up and go because...
00:06:20
as a behind the scenes for the listeners, I have this thing I like to call cave girl
00:06:26
hours where my body just won't let me sleep and so I sleep for like four hour
00:06:31
increments at most and that's been happening for like a week and a half.
00:06:35
So I'm already not in a great mental fortitude spot and I knew- I was like, I'm
00:06:44
gonna start crying and so I literally...
00:06:49
power walked to my car and sobbed the entire way home and then like four hours
00:06:54
later I was still crying and I was like guys somebody send help because I don't
00:06:58
know what's happening...
00:07:01
Ooof.
00:07:03
Yeah, this gave me kind of an existential crisis, I'm not gonna lie.
00:07:07
Yeah.
00:07:09
See now you know how I feel after watching Everything Everywhere All At Once.
00:07:12
That's exactly what happened to me.
00:07:13
Yeah, that's fair.
00:07:14
Yeah, this one hit a little differently.
00:07:17
And again, I'm very tired, so that probably didn't help the situation, but...
00:07:24
I mean, if it makes you feel any better, I was very well rested when I saw this.
00:07:28
And then I sent our like core group of friends a very long winded confused
00:07:37
Snapchat as I was walking out of the theater.
00:07:42
Aha!
00:07:44
Yeah, it, it definitely made you feel something.
00:07:47
I cried at the end in the theater, shamelessly.
00:07:50
I don't know why you had to leave to cry, but.
00:07:52
I don't know.
00:07:52
You were tired.
00:07:53
yeah, and I think I knew I had time.
00:07:56
I was like, okay, if I can get somewhere, let's go.
00:08:03
But yeah, I thought it was funny.
00:08:04
You were, she was telling us a story in Snapchat that had nothing to do with the
00:08:08
movie, but every once in a while you'd just be like, and I just saw this movie
00:08:11
and I can't, and I was like, and that was before I'd seen it.
00:08:16
So I was like, what's going on with this movie?
00:08:19
Yeah, yeah, no, that ending was something.
00:08:23
Yeah, I knew I was, yeah, I almost teared up.
00:08:26
Well, I did kind of tear up in the theater when he was at the birthday party and just
00:08:32
like breaks down and starts like screaming.
00:08:37
Yeah, that was the part where I was like, I'm cooked.
00:08:42
It's happening.
00:08:44
Yeah, for those that don't know the director and the cast, everybody has said,
00:08:52
everybody that had a part in this movie has said that this is a trans allegory
00:08:57
about like wearing a mask and figuring out a way to take off the mask and kind of be
00:09:05
your true self.
00:09:06
Mm -hmm.
00:09:06
I don't relate to that obviously specifically, but very similarly, I think
00:09:14
almost identical.
00:09:16
I read more of it, I read it more as a like just very high level how to find
00:09:22
happiness.
00:09:23
And at the end where he's like kind of cutting himself out and like he's like
00:09:27
shining from inside.
00:09:28
I was like, my God, like he can be happy now and go on with his life and live his
00:09:32
true life.
00:09:34
I don't know.
00:09:34
I-
00:09:34
I read into it obviously a little bit differently, but funny how like that is
00:09:38
very much what coming out being trans is about.
00:09:43
Is you're stuck in a body you don't want to be in or in a mindset you don't want to
00:09:49
be in.
00:09:50
And you have to go through all of this in order to find, you know, or announce- be
00:09:56
your true self.
00:09:56
I don't know.
00:09:57
I'm trying to speak more, you know.
00:10:01
No, I like it though, because this is a movie that can be interpreted in like a
00:10:04
thousand different ways.
00:10:06
And at its core, yes, like the director has even said that they were going, like
00:10:13
they were working through dysphoria and beginning their transition.
00:10:16
So this movie kind of aligned with that.
00:10:20
And I think they even said that this is a movie about recognizing something that's
00:10:24
wrong and about the process that goes into that recognition.
00:10:28
So even if...
00:10:30
you- know, you're not trans, I do think that that's something that is relatable to
00:10:33
a lot of people.
00:10:36
And yeah, I'm not trans, so I can't relate to that part, but I do think that it was
00:10:41
kind of a broad enough experience that a lot of people in the LGBT community or
00:10:46
period can relate to that.
00:10:48
But yeah, I kind of saw it as-
00:10:50
Well, one interpretation that I read was that Maddy and Owen were both like
00:11:00
substitutes for people dealing with gender dysphoria and Maddy choosing to live out
00:11:07
their life truly, whereas Owen decided to go with what society expects them to do.
00:11:14
And then realizing slowly that like that was not
00:11:18
the choice that he should have made.
00:11:22
So I thought that was really interesting as well.
00:11:26
And I mean, the movie is also very literal in that the director said that the way
00:11:36
that they dealt with, you know, being kind of stuck is relating to or finding
00:11:45
characters in pop culture.
00:11:47
I'll let you talk about exactly which characters because I know you want to.
00:11:53
And I mean, that's exactly what's happening in the movie, right?
00:11:56
Is the- Maddy is literally relating to the TV show by going and being a part of the
00:12:05
TV show.
00:12:06
So.
00:12:06
Yeah, well, and that's the thing, I think, why this movie can resonate with a lot of
00:12:11
people, even if you're not trans or not in the community.
00:12:15
Just having things that are so nostalgic and relating so much to them and having
00:12:22
that be such a big part of your life and then also- you can't stop the passage of
00:12:28
time and then all of a sudden you're 40 years old and you rewatch these things and
00:12:32
they don't hit the same way and everything's different and you can't stop
00:12:36
it and now I'm gonna start spiraling again.
00:12:41
But yeah, man.
00:12:48
But yeah, the director, Jane, also said that when they write a script, it
00:12:54
typically starts with just an idea that gets lodged in their brain.
00:13:00
And it's never a fully fledged idea.
00:13:03
It's just like one thing.
00:13:05
And with this, they said it was "the idea of being haunted by an unresolved
00:13:09
cliffhanger in a children's show, and specifically those characters in the show
00:13:14
being in danger.
00:13:16
And just that feeling of not having that resolution, making it really hard to exist
00:13:20
in the real world, to the point where you're almost taking on the pain of the
00:13:26
characters in the show."
00:13:27
Been there.
00:13:27
Yeah, another thing that I thought about, I'm trying to be a lot more eloquent than
00:13:36
I am, I'm just not.
00:13:37
So just take it for what it is.
00:13:39
I feel like this movie really personified that like pit in your stomach feeling that
00:13:47
you get when you finish a series, whether it's a book or a show or whatever, you
00:13:52
know that feeling where you're just like, what the fuck do I do now?
00:13:55
Yeah.
00:13:56
Like this movie personified that for me and and I got the same feeling without
00:14:00
without ever like without knowing anything about the movie without ever having
00:14:05
experienced the world of like the movie or The Pink Opaque or whatever.
00:14:08
After the movie was over, that is how I felt.
00:14:10
I felt like I had just finished the Twilight series and I was 17 years old or
00:14:14
I had just you know, I Don't know walked out of the last Hunger Games, but I don't
00:14:20
know.
00:14:20
I'm doing a very bad job of speaking about this.
00:14:23
you nostalgic for something you've never even experienced.
00:14:26
It was so weird.
00:14:31
Yeah, I got done and I came home and I was crying and I started reading through
00:14:39
Letterboxd reviews, which didn't help because some of the -
00:14:41
People said like the most beautiful things about it.
00:14:44
Like how it relates to that and nostalgia and this feeling of despair and melancholy
00:14:49
and like going through your life and the passage of time and I was just reading
00:14:52
through these reviews crying even harder and I was like, cancel the podcast, we
00:14:57
can't do this.
00:14:58
Yeah.
00:15:00
Yeah, it took us a lot of time to like build up the momentum to even start
00:15:04
recording this morning, which by the way, fun fact, it's morning.
00:15:08
It is morning, which I feel like is easier to tell when we record in the daytime from
00:15:15
my perspective because I can't block out the sun.
00:15:20
So yes, it is daytime.
00:15:22
But also, yeah, we were like, we'll record at 10.
00:15:26
It's 11 now.
00:15:28
And we're like 15 minutes into the episode.
00:15:34
It's like that scene in Bambi 2 where Bambi is like, one, two, two.
00:15:48
That's what we did.
00:15:50
seen Bambi 2.
00:15:52
You don't need to, that's the best scene.
00:15:54
I mean, after the first, yeah, that movie was too sad for me as a kid.
00:15:58
I did not like sad movies as a kid.
00:16:00
Yeah.
00:16:00
we grow up and that's- sad movies, yay.
00:16:04
Yeah, now I watch this and I'm like, should I go see it again?
00:16:07
hahahaha
00:16:12
Ugh.
00:16:13
All right, I'm just going to start touching on some of the inspirations for
00:16:19
this because you and I both know that I want to talk about it anyway.
00:16:25
So, yes, The Pink Opaque is the TV show in the movie that the two kids are like
00:16:33
obsessed with, which by the way, anybody out there who has TV connections.
00:16:40
Chop chop, let's get it rolling, because I would love to watch The Pink Opaque.
00:16:44
That shit would have been my jam.
00:16:48
But yeah, some of the fictional television shows that it was inspired by were The
00:16:53
Secret World of Alec Mack, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Are You Afraid of the
00:16:58
Dark.
00:16:59
Those were the ones officially listed.
00:17:01
I also feel like there was definitely some Twin Peaks in there, just in the vibes.
00:17:07
No, Twin Peaks is an old show that got like a reboot.
00:17:12
Yeah.
00:17:15
Old, I think it was the 90s.
00:17:18
I guess that's old now.
00:17:20
But yes, so definitely, I think that's also maybe why it hit so hard for me was
00:17:28
because like, I am also obsessed with the show that this show is based off of,
00:17:33
right?
00:17:34
So.
00:17:35
So yeah, I definitely could tell in the movie that it was inspired, that that was
00:17:40
part of the inspiration for it.
00:17:42
And then they decided to just like slap it right in my fucking face because
00:17:48
throughout the film, in order to watch the show, Owen's character keeps lying to his
00:17:54
parents and being like, I'm spending the night at my friend's house, but really he
00:17:57
would go to Maddy's house and watch it.
00:17:59
And so there's a scene where she's like, I'm running away, let's go, you're coming
00:18:03
with me,
00:18:04
and he's too scared.
00:18:05
He's like, I can't do it.
00:18:06
So he goes to the kid who he's pretending to stay at his house and is like, talks to
00:18:12
his mom and it's like, you have to tell my parents that I'm lying so that I get
00:18:15
grounded and I don't have to go with Maddy.
00:18:19
The mom is played by Tara, which A, they took her name for The Pink Opaque and B,
00:18:26
or sorry-
00:18:27
It's played by the woman who plays Tara in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
00:18:31
So namesake is already a reference, but then also it's Amber Benson who played
00:18:35
Tara Maclay in Buffy.
00:18:38
And I was like, as soon as she opened the door, I was like, God damn it.
00:18:41
Hahaha!
00:18:45
Did you know it was based on Buffy before you went in?
00:18:47
didn't.
00:18:49
No.
00:18:50
As I was watching I was like, okay, definitely inspired by something I know.
00:18:56
And then yeah, I saw Amber and I was like, my God, Tara.
00:19:00
And then I knew I was gonna cry even harder.
00:19:03
Why are they putting it in my face?
00:19:05
Did you see there was an interview with Jane Schoenbrun and a couple of the cast,
00:19:13
I think, where they said that the movie inspirations for like the movie as a
00:19:20
whole, as opposed to the TV shows, were The Mask, obviously.
00:19:24
That might have been a joke, though, because they also said, Liar, Liar.
00:19:26
So that might have been a joke.
00:19:28
But Scream.
00:19:30
They straight up said that Scream was also an influence.
00:19:33
I love that, because yeah, very 90s vibe.
00:19:35
They definitely had a lot of humor in this.
00:19:39
So yeah, I could definitely see how they pulled from that.
00:19:43
Yeah, but it might have been because the kid that plays the son of the mask is in
00:19:47
Scream, so that also might have been a joke, but for your sake, we'll say that it
00:19:50
wasn't.
00:19:50
feel like you could definitely see some influences to a lot of like 90s media.
00:19:57
Yeah, totally.
00:19:59
Well, it was filmed in 35, the whole thing.
00:20:05
And then the scenes for The Pink Opaque were then transferred to VHS.
00:20:13
And that is what is produced on screen is the 35 millimeter transferred to VHS and
00:20:20
Betamax.
00:20:21
Which is fun.
00:20:24
Yeah, so.
00:20:25
Yeah.
00:20:26
And they also had a lot of, not a lot, but a few 90s stars who made little cameos in
00:20:35
it.
00:20:37
Michael C.
00:20:38
Maronna and Danny Tamberelli, who were on The Adventures of Pete & Pete on
00:20:43
Nickelodeon.
00:20:44
They show up for a little bit.
00:20:45
Fred Durst.
00:20:46
The lead singer of Limp Bizkit, he plays Owen's dad.
00:20:52
Crazy.
00:20:53
Crazy.
00:20:54
Yeah, I didn't even recognize him.
00:20:57
I mean, he was always partially obscured.
00:21:00
Yeah.
00:21:02
Yeah, but in an interview with Vulture, Jane Schoenbrun said that their inclusions
00:21:09
were less about reverence and more about being haunted by familiar faces.
00:21:13
I thought that was like a really smart touch of including faces that a lot of
00:21:20
people who grew up in the 90s would recognize and be like,
00:21:23
Yeah.
00:21:25
Yeah, and one- and I think that really worked because one thing that really
00:21:28
struck me about this film was that the dad was I mean, for me, very much the scary
00:21:33
like the- like he was very scary.
00:21:36
He was very menacing and that I related a lot to that.
00:21:39
I mean, my biological dad.
00:21:42
Anger issues and it's like an eggshell parent is what was being- and I can only
00:21:49
imagine if that is coming from,
00:21:52
like a place of Jane knowing that, growing up and being trans and having not come out
00:21:58
yet and knowing that they are trans and their parent is an eggshell parent, that's
00:22:03
fucking terrifying.
00:22:05
Yeah.
00:22:06
So all the scenes with the dad were very uncomfortable for me.
00:22:10
I mean the whole movie was uncomfortable, but that especially.
00:22:12
Yeah, and Jane also kind of talked about that.
00:22:15
Like they touched on that a little bit in an interview.
00:22:19
Because they kind of talked about how...
00:22:20
they wanted to include little bits of things.
00:22:24
Like they didn't want it to just be about, Owen has an angry dad and that's a stand
00:22:28
-in explanation for something.
00:22:30
So they kind of said, if I, the idea was more, if I show you these three things and
00:22:37
then continued to explore what I'm exploring at the center of the film, what
00:22:42
is your relationship to the exposition?
00:22:45
And
00:22:45
Jane themselves even was like, maybe that's a little pretentious, but that was
00:22:49
kind of the vibe that they were going for when making the film.
00:22:55
And I kind of liked that too.
00:22:57
Yeah, because it's definitely, I feel like they gave us enough information, but also
00:23:05
left enough up that you can interpret it in a meaningful way to yourself.
00:23:11
Yeah, absolutely.
00:23:12
Yeah.
00:23:13
Also the font they use for The Pink Opaque is the same font used for the opening
00:23:16
credits of Buffy.
00:23:18
Yeah.
00:23:21
Oof.
00:23:23
That's cute.
00:23:25
I do really love the tattoo.
00:23:27
The like super cute little ghost with glasses.
00:23:31
Yeah, the visuals of this movie were incredible.
00:23:38
Huge fan.
00:23:39
Yeah, Mr.
00:23:40
Melancholy.
00:23:42
Also a very unnerving scene.
00:23:48
I was gonna say smash, but then I pulled back.
00:23:51
I was like, maybe calm down for a second.
00:23:54
Yeah, I don't know about that.
00:23:56
If it helps, I was gonna say it more as a joke.
00:24:04
Well...
00:24:09
They can't see our faces.
00:24:12
It's a podcast.
00:24:15
For anybody listening.
00:24:20
She's making suggestive faces.
00:24:23
Yeah.
00:24:24
You started it!
00:24:27
I did it again.
00:24:32
God.
00:24:34
No, that was the scariest part of the whole movie.
00:24:37
Like animation and then un-animation and that was...
00:24:43
It was, yeah, it was very unnerving.
00:24:45
Mm -hmm.
00:24:47
Yeah, the zoom in grainy picture, part of his face moving.
00:24:55
Yeah.
00:24:57
I want a Pink Opaque show.
00:24:59
I need it.
00:25:03
I need it.
00:25:04
Maybe that'll be like their next short films.
00:25:09
They'll just do a series of, Jane will do a series of short films based on The Pink
00:25:15
Opaque.
00:25:16
Which by the way, The Pink Opaque is named after an album by a Scottish rock duo whom
00:25:22
I have never heard of, but they're like an 80s, 90s rock duo from Scotland.
00:25:28
with the Cocteau Twins?
00:25:30
Cocteau Twins?
00:25:32
Something?
00:25:33
Yeah.
00:25:34
It's a great name.
00:25:35
I want to see it.
00:25:36
Give it to me, Rachel!
00:25:37
Please!
00:25:39
me to me please.
00:25:43
Did you know this movie was produced by Emily Stone?
00:25:46
Don't ever call her by her government name like you know her.
00:25:53
She's credited as Emma Stone.
00:25:57
but she wants to be called Emily.
00:26:00
Okay, then she can change her stage name.
00:26:03
She's trying to and people aren't respecting it.
00:26:07
She hasn't yet.
00:26:11
Emily.
00:26:11
It's like when Anne had the way it was like, call me Annie.
00:26:14
And it's like, no, I don't know you.
00:26:16
What do you mean?
00:26:17
And that did not last.
00:26:22
Well, I don't know.
00:26:23
I've never seen her in real life.
00:26:25
Maybe people do call her Annie in real life.
00:26:28
She said that she was like, like when fans come up to me, I want them to call me
00:26:31
Annie because that's what I go by.
00:26:33
And I'm like, not to us, you don't.
00:26:35
Well, it's the opposite though in this case, like Emma feels like the nickname
00:26:41
-y, like Emily is more professional.
00:26:45
You know what I mean?
00:26:46
To me, I don't know.
00:26:47
Anyway, she wants to be called Emily, I'm gonna call her Emily.
00:26:50
It doesn't feel right though.
00:26:53
It's like when Snoop Dogg wanted to be called Snoop Lion.
00:26:55
Like, it's just not happening.
00:26:57
I'm sorry.
00:26:58
that was...
00:27:01
wasn't that a marketing joke though?
00:27:02
Like, wasn't that a marketing tactic?
00:27:05
I think that was a marketing thing.
00:27:08
I just feel like celebrities can't, you can't just change your name like that,
00:27:11
just off the cuff.
00:27:13
What do you mean?
00:27:14
Like Machine Gun Kelly wanting to go by Machine now.
00:27:16
I...
00:27:18
I...
00:27:20
I don't know.
00:27:21
I don't ever think about that man.
00:27:24
Well, there was some there was some TikTok of like a guy saying take the gun out of
00:27:28
your name because it's promoting violence.
00:27:31
Yeah, and he was like, bet.
00:27:32
I'll do it.
00:27:33
And then I think he, I don't know.
00:27:35
Yeah, I feel like he just wanted to go by like The Machine or something like that.
00:27:40
I don't know.
00:27:41
The guy's a creep.
00:27:43
I don't respect him as a person or as his name.
00:27:50
I do pop culturally enjoy following his on again, off again relationship with Megyn
00:27:55
Kelly though.
00:27:56
That's not her name.
00:27:59
Megan Fox?
00:28:02
Megyn Kelly?
00:28:03
What the fuck?
00:28:05
That would be some pop culture.
00:28:11
Yeah, that's...
00:28:13
God, why is her name even in my brain?
00:28:16
I don't know.
00:28:17
And to conflate that with Megan Fox, I'm gonna be honest, I love Megan Fox, but her
00:28:22
being with him made me be like, I don't know about that, Megan.
00:28:27
wrong with him?
00:28:27
He's like said on multiple occasions that minors are hot.
00:28:33
That's how the whole like him and Eminem feud happened because he was talking about
00:28:37
Eminem's daughter and how hot she was when she was like 14 years old.
00:28:42
And then he was talking about how like, I think it was Kylie Jenner, like years ago.
00:28:49
He was like, I wouldn't wait until she's 18.
00:28:51
I don't care.
00:28:52
Like ask any man.
00:28:53
They're not going to wait until she's 18.
00:28:56
Jesus Christ!
00:28:57
He should be in jail.
00:29:01
Holy shit!
00:29:03
Yeah, he's gross, gross.
00:29:04
Maybe he does deserve Megyn Kelly.
00:29:06
HAHA
00:29:08
Maybe that's why I said it.
00:29:11
A Freudian slip.
00:29:13
who he should be with.
00:29:14
Who's Megyn Kelly?
00:29:16
She's like a journalist?
00:29:18
Yeah.
00:29:19
Oh she spells her name really dumb.
00:29:21
Yeah.
00:29:22
I don't, I mean, that's not her fault, to be clear.
00:29:25
That's how her parents spelt it.
00:29:29
Yeah.
00:29:29
Okay, yeah, they deserve each other.
00:29:32
Based solely on the way she spells her name.
00:29:37
God.
00:29:40
Yeah.
00:29:42
Okay, back to the movie we're talking about, because I don't want to talk about
00:29:45
The Machine anymore.
00:29:47
The machine.
00:29:49
Disgusting.
00:29:51
Apparently, one of the producers of the film, we don't know if it was Emily or
00:29:55
not, but...
00:29:59
one of the producers apparently told Jane Schoenbrun that they needed to rewrite
00:30:07
Owen's character because he was too passive and the producer thought that the
00:30:12
audience was gonna be convinced that Owen murdered Maddy when Maddy disappeared.
00:30:16
Which is crazy because that thought never even crossed my mind.
00:30:21
I don't think so.
00:30:24
Because Jane had said that his passiveness was like
00:30:28
key to the story.
00:30:29
And so I think they kept that.
00:30:31
I mean, he was very passive in the movie.
00:30:33
So I think that they kept that in.
00:30:35
And yeah, I don't know, I just never...
00:30:37
thought that he hurt her.
00:30:39
Did you think that?
00:30:40
The only thing I thought about his character was that maybe he was on the
00:30:46
spectrum.
00:30:46
Okay.
00:30:47
Yeah, I feel like that is fair.
00:30:50
which if he is, I'm so glad it was not spelled out, because that would have felt
00:30:57
gimmicky.
00:30:57
Yeah.
00:30:58
I liked that.
00:30:58
like there were...
00:30:59
a few kind of things that were touched on like that, like it's kind of hinted at
00:31:04
that he might be asexual because he's like, do you like boys?
00:31:08
Do you like girls?
00:31:09
I like TV shows.
00:31:11
Not any interest in that type of like romantic exploration.
00:31:20
Also one last connection to Buffy that I'm gonna make which maybe you should like...
00:31:25
earmuffs.
00:31:29
I mean, I've seen the most important episode of Buffy.
00:31:31
That's true.
00:31:32
I also cried during that episode.
00:31:35
For those wondering, if you've seen Buffy, she watched The Body.
00:31:40
So don't call it that.
00:31:45
It's The Body episode.
00:31:48
But anyways, so in the movie...
00:31:53
Season six, episode one of The Pink Opaque, because it gets canceled at season
00:31:57
five.
00:31:57
So then Maddy comes back and starts talking about like what season six was
00:32:01
gonna be.
00:32:02
It was supposed to include the girls being brought back from the midnight realm and
00:32:07
climbing their way out of their graves.
00:32:10
And season six, episode one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is about Buffy climbing her
00:32:15
way out of her grave.
00:32:18
Yeah.
00:32:18
I like that.
00:32:19
I do too.
00:32:21
Yeah, we know.
00:32:26
You will too once you watch it.
00:32:27
I need to.
00:32:28
Okay, when?
00:32:31
I'll start it as soon as I'm done finishing
00:32:34
watching the Transformers movies with my husband.
00:32:37
That is not, I thought you were gonna say Teen Wolf.
00:32:41
I feel like I got to the part in Teen Wolf that you meant for me to stop at.
00:32:46
No, you definitely didn't.
00:32:50
Fine, after Teen Wolf and Transformers.
00:32:52
I know you didn't because you were keeping me updated and you all you didn't you
00:32:56
didn't even finish 3a.
00:32:59
3b is where the money is at kd.
00:33:02
Okay, alright.
00:33:04
That show's done, right?
00:33:06
Teen Wolf, yeah.
00:33:08
Yeah yeah yeah.
00:33:09
Anyway.
00:33:10
If I can't live in my TV shows, I'm gonna have to make you, so.
00:33:13
I'm into it.
00:33:14
Yeah.
00:33:15
Well, what else?
00:33:16
I have another thing.
00:33:19
The director commissioned 16 original songs from their favorite bands for the
00:33:24
film soundtrack.
00:33:25
So everything from the soundtrack, which has the coolest fucking vinyl, I don't
00:33:31
know if you've seen the vinyl for it on A24 .com, it's pink and it's got Candyman,
00:33:37
Candyman, Ice Cream Man, the Ice Cream Man on it.
00:33:40
What's his name?
00:33:40
Mr.
00:33:41
Sprink?
00:33:42
No, not Candyman.
00:33:44
I think it was Mr.
00:33:47
Sprinkle.
00:33:48
It's Mr.
00:33:49
Sprinkles.
00:33:51
Owen calls him Ice Cream Man at one point, I think.
00:33:54
But anyway, his official name is Mr.
00:33:55
Sprinkles.
00:33:56
Mr.
00:33:56
Sprinkly.
00:33:59
Yeah, Mr.
00:34:00
Sprinkly is on the vinyl and it's like this bright pink.
00:34:04
it's so cute.
00:34:05
I love it.
00:34:06
I love that, I want it.
00:34:08
I've been thinking about, I told my family that for my birthday I want a good record
00:34:14
player and they're like, do you have any records?
00:34:15
And I'm like, why would I buy records if I don't have a record player?
00:34:18
Like what?
00:34:22
Anyway, I've been thinking about like, what do I want my first vinyl to be?
00:34:28
That's so exciting.
00:34:30
Yeah.
00:34:31
I...
00:34:32
going to be the amber version of Twilight New Moon's soundtrack, but if I'm being
00:34:39
honest.
00:34:39
Stay true to yourself.
00:34:40
Yeah, I should.
00:34:42
You're right.
00:34:42
I didn't get to choose my first vinyl.
00:34:45
Was it gifted to you?
00:34:47
Yes, I bought a record player because I got all of my parents' records.
00:34:51
Yeah, records.
00:34:52
That, yeah, when my dad passed away, he had them all, so I got them all.
00:34:58
Yeah.
00:34:59
Lotta ABBA.
00:35:01
Lotta ABBA.
00:35:04
And I love it.
00:35:09
It was ABBA?
00:35:10
Peter Gabriel.
00:35:11
Fleetwood Mac, a lot of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, which...
00:35:14
Experienced best on vinyl.
00:35:15
Stevie Nicks.
00:35:19
And then now, Harry Styles.
00:35:22
I do have Harry Styles.
00:35:24
I have two of his records.
00:35:25
I love Harry Styles.
00:35:27
Yeah, that was our first concert together.
00:35:30
It was our only concert together?
00:35:34
Okay.
00:35:34
Alright, yeah, our first of many.
00:35:37
Hehehe
00:35:39
I actually want, I've been trying to get, there's a musical episode of Buffy and I
00:35:45
want that on vinyl.
00:35:46
It sold out immediately and then like it's on eBay for like $200.
00:35:52
So I'm not gonna buy that.
00:35:55
Bro, people love Buffy.
00:35:58
It's a great musical episode too.
00:36:01
I listen to it on Spotify all the time.
00:36:04
What's the best musical episode?
00:36:06
Once More With Feeling!
00:36:07
On, that's a Taylor Swift reference.
00:36:11
No, it's not because it came out in the 90s, or well I guess it was probably the
00:36:15
2000 but.
00:36:16
I mean like, Taylor Swift made that reference.
00:36:17
Makes a reference.
00:36:19
Great.
00:36:19
Funny, you didn't mention that.
00:36:21
Okay, I believe you.
00:36:23
didn't mention what, Taylor Swift?
00:36:25
When have I ever?
00:36:26
says that like very menacingly and it's like the most iconic lyric in the song.
00:36:33
She says that in one of her songs on her new album.
00:36:37
I'm gonna be honest, I was in the first couple minutes of each song and I couldn't
00:36:40
get into any of them, so.
00:36:43
I did.
00:36:44
It just wasn't for me, I'm so sorry.
00:36:46
Weird, but anyway.
00:36:48
What were you talking about?
00:36:50
Yeah, the director commissioned all the songs for the movie.
00:36:55
Yeah, it's very good.
00:36:57
The song, I don't think it's called I Saw the TV Glow, but where they say I Saw the
00:37:01
TV Glow is very, very good.
00:37:03
Yeah, isn't that where Phoebe Bridgers has a cameo too?
00:37:06
Is she in the movie?
00:37:08
I'm pretty sure she's the bass player in the band.
00:37:11
I mean, I know she's on one of the songs, but I didn't know if she was on that song.
00:37:16
I could have swore it was her, but also...
00:37:18
I'm not like super familiar with Phoebe Bridgers' face, so maybe I was mistaken.
00:37:25
But I thought she was the bass player.
00:37:27
I Could definitely be wrong.
00:37:28
Sounds...
00:37:31
Yeah.
00:37:32
in the cast.
00:37:33
With the other band members.
00:37:35
She's not credited as a band member, but she's credited as herself.
00:37:39
Well, with, like, in the middle of all the other band members.
00:37:44
my God.
00:37:45
Yeah, I'm listening to this song right now.
00:37:47
It's called Claw Machine.
00:37:48
That's the one that she's credited on.
00:37:51
And I'm pretty sure that's the song that you're talking about that they're playing
00:37:56
in the movie.
00:37:57
Yeah.
00:37:57
I think it was her, but I don't know.
00:38:00
Somebody who knows better maybe can tell me if that was her face or not.
00:38:04
It was a blonde girl.
00:38:05
I was like, is that Phoebe Bridgers?
00:38:06
Hahaha!
00:38:13
Well, should we rate it?
00:38:15
Okay.
00:38:17
All right, how scary did you think it was?
00:38:20
I gave it a one.
00:38:21
But I think I'm gonna amend that to a 1 .5, because it was very unnerving.
00:38:28
It wasn't outright, yeah, it wasn't outright scary, but it did kind of leave
00:38:31
you with a feeling of dread.
00:38:33
And so I think it deserves a little credit for that.
00:38:37
What about you?
00:38:39
Okay.
00:38:41
Yeah.
00:38:43
It was just standing there, menacingly.
00:38:46
It was uncomfortable and...
00:38:50
Yes.
00:38:51
Yeah.
00:38:52
How sexy did you think it was?
00:38:55
I didn't.
00:38:57
Not even a little.
00:38:59
So I give it a 1.
00:39:00
Yeah.
00:39:03
I give it a 1 .5 only just because of like the vibe, the aesthetics, the 90s.
00:39:12
You know what I mean.
00:39:14
No, but see, I-
00:39:17
way you thought Annihilation's aesthetic was hot.
00:39:21
It is.
00:39:22
Okay, so this is an aesthetic that's hot to me, like neon colors and 90s vibes and
00:39:27
grainy film.
00:39:28
That's hot.
00:39:30
Okay.
00:39:33
It's, well, okay.
00:39:35
How fucked up did you think it was?
00:39:37
I gave it a 1 .5 but I'm also wondering if I should add it up just because it really
00:39:42
impacted me for sure.
00:39:46
While watching it I didn't necessarily think anything was super fucked up but I
00:39:51
think like the way it impacted me I do have to give it a little credit for that.
00:39:58
Yeah.
00:39:59
And that's one thing I struggle with when we're rating these things is like, okay,
00:40:03
do I put the impact under fucked up or do I put the impact under sexy?
00:40:07
Do I put it under overall?
00:40:10
I think it depends on how it impacts you.
00:40:13
This impacted me in a fucked up way, so I'm gonna say that it goes there and I'll
00:40:19
give it a two.
00:40:21
What about you?
00:40:23
Yeah.
00:40:25
Yeah.
00:40:27
I mean, it generally when I'm reading things fucked up, I'm thinking like...
00:40:30
not this.
00:40:33
Which I guess I don't really have to explain much more than that.
00:40:37
It definitely is a movie that gets under your skin.
00:40:42
Yeah, it's unnerving.
00:40:46
Yeah.
00:40:47
some people are a little different and they're better, but like, not me.
00:40:51
I mean, I would hope that most people can relate to this in a way that it's a little
00:40:57
fucked up.
00:40:58
but then I think like my sister would probably watch this and be like, that was
00:41:02
dumb, I just wasted an hour and a
00:41:04
sister doesn't strike me as the kind of person to watch and critique movies of
00:41:10
this nature.
00:41:11
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's not really a horror movie fan at
00:41:15
Overall, what did you give it?
00:41:18
Still deciding.
00:41:20
Yeah, I went I went back and forth a lot.
00:41:22
I landed on a three.
00:41:24
I was going to split the- I was going to cut it down the middle at a two point five
00:41:28
because it was almost unaccessible for a lot of people and I think accessibility is
00:41:35
important in a movie.
00:41:37
But
00:41:37
I do think that it's accessible to everyone.
00:41:39
I think everybody can find, learn, appreciate something from this movie.
00:41:44
Yeah.
00:41:45
And it was beautifully shot.
00:41:47
I did love the aesthetic.
00:41:48
I didn't think that made it sexy, but the 90s aesthetic definitely did something for
00:41:54
me.
00:41:55
Not sexually.
00:41:58
Like some people.
00:42:02
I don't know.
00:42:04
I just it's a good movie.
00:42:06
I will probably watch it again later.
00:42:08
Not now.
00:42:10
I need to give it some time because it was really uncomfortable to watch, especially.
00:42:18
What's his name?
00:42:21
Justice Smith?
00:42:22
No, no, no.
00:42:23
Well, yeah, I gue- yeah.
00:42:24
you talking about the ice cream man, Mr.
00:42:26
Sprinkly?
00:42:26
The moon guy?
00:42:28
Mr.
00:42:28
Melancholy?
00:42:30
Who was?
00:42:32
character.
00:42:32
That's Owen, Justice Smith!
00:42:34
Owen.
00:42:34
Yeah, Justice Smith.
00:42:35
Yeah.
00:42:35
Well, I was going to say Owen's performance, but it's really Justice
00:42:39
Smith's performance, which is why I was like, yeah, I guess that works.
00:42:45
It was very hard to watch because you really feel for him the entire movie.
00:42:50
Like, uncomfortably you are put in his shoes and just like...
00:42:56
And maybe that's what was why I ranked it what I did for fucked up, really.
00:43:00
Mm.
00:43:01
it did affect my overall score of the movie.
00:43:02
It was so uncomfortable to be put in his shoes the way that you were.
00:43:06
Got it, that brought it down a little bit.
00:43:09
No, no, that brought it up.
00:43:12
Well, you've said that three is a bad score, so I'm thinking you did not like
00:43:16
this movie, right?
00:43:17
Because that's your...
00:43:19
You've said that.
00:43:20
Well, I mean, three is a sixty.
00:43:22
So you hated it.
00:43:24
What?
00:43:26
I didn't hate it.
00:43:28
I did like it and I think that I will watch it again, but it was so
00:43:33
uncomfortable to watch.
00:43:35
I won't be watching it again anytime soon.
00:43:37
Got it.
00:43:39
So what brought the score down?
00:43:41
What did you not like about the film?
00:43:43
That it's not totally accessible.
00:43:46
It was a little big brain.
00:43:47
Okay.
00:43:48
You don't like an artsy movie.
00:43:50
I mean, I do like some artsy movies.
00:43:52
I liked this movie.
00:43:54
No, you hated it.
00:43:55
That's what you say to me every time I rate something 3.
00:43:58
No, it's different.
00:44:02
it's different when you rate it to three.
00:44:04
Okay, got it.
00:44:05
Because you go out rate- you like these kinds of movies.
00:44:09
That's horror movies, I mean.
00:44:11
Yeah, I don't think three's a bad score.
00:44:14
like, a five, like, okay, you like horror movies.
00:44:18
You know?
00:44:18
fives don't mean anything to you!
00:44:20
No, they do!
00:44:23
We're fighting now.
00:44:28
Okay, so you don't like horror movies, so a three is a good rating for you.
00:44:33
No, I do like horror movies, but it's not the same.
00:44:36
It's not the same!
00:44:39
You're forcing me to watch them!
00:44:42
You asked for this!
00:44:44
Yeah.
00:44:44
I don't know.
00:44:45
I don't know what I'm trying to say.
00:44:46
contradictions you just made to yourself.
00:44:51
Crazy.
00:44:52
did like this movie, but it was not the best movie I've ever seen.
00:44:55
That's all that it is.
00:44:57
That's all that it is.
00:44:59
And it was really hard to watch.
00:45:01
It was, yeah.
00:45:02
I'm honestly just kind of giving you a little shit.
00:45:05
yeah, OK, thanks.
00:45:06
It's just it makes the rewatchability.
00:45:08
You're always the rewatchability one.
00:45:10
it's got rewatchability.
00:45:12
That's what you say.
00:45:14
Yeah, I do like rewatchability.
00:45:15
And this does not have that because I don't want to go through that again soon.
00:45:20
You know?
00:45:20
Yeah.
00:45:21
Okay, that's all I'm going to say.
00:45:25
Thanks.
00:45:25
Okay, now your turn.
00:45:27
I do want to watch this again, no doubt about it.
00:45:31
I'm ready to get hurt again.
00:45:33
My gosh.
00:45:35
I actually really like this.
00:45:36
I give it a four out of five.
00:45:40
I don't know what happened, but,
00:45:44
actually surprised I made it through the recording without sobbing.
00:45:47
I couldn't stop.
00:45:50
It felt so personal and so relatable.
00:45:54
And it wasn't even made for, it wasn't even about that, right?
00:45:57
But I think that's the beauty of the film is that it was made as this allegory for
00:46:03
one thing, but it's still relatable to a lot of different people.
00:46:07
And yeah, I don't know.
00:46:10
It gave me an existential crisis and I really liked it and I liked the visuals
00:46:14
and...
00:46:14
I don't know if I'm ever gonna stop thinking about him sobbing at the birthday
00:46:18
party and then apologizing to people for it.
00:46:23
Like it's just...
00:46:26
him-
00:46:27
aisle saying sorry was so fucking hard to watch.
00:46:31
and him struggling to breathe and like that being such a relatable thing when
00:46:37
you're like not being who you truly are and like just a physical manifestation of
00:46:43
that and I just I don't know I want to go see it again I really liked it.
00:46:52
Masochist over here.
00:46:54
Yeah, maybe.
00:46:55
I have enough going on.
00:46:56
I don't need to be a masochist in that regard.
00:47:00
But you know what?
00:47:01
If you gotta feel something, you gotta feel something.
00:47:03
I- just...
00:47:05
I probably shouldn't, but...
00:47:08
should sleep instead.
00:47:11
that's step one.
00:47:12
I'm gonna get a good night's sleep.
00:47:16
Step two.
00:47:17
I get hurt again.
00:47:19
I go watch this movie.
00:47:21
Next time I'm just gonna sob in the theater.
00:47:23
I don't care who's looking.
00:47:25
Yeah.
00:47:27
Yeah.
00:47:31
Alright, would you survive?
00:47:32
Nobody died.
00:47:34
This wasn't even a horror movie.
00:47:35
They didn't mention that at all during our 54 minutes conversation of this horror
00:47:40
movie, but I don't know.
00:47:41
I don't even really think this is a horror movie.
00:47:44
I do.
00:47:46
Yeah.
00:47:47
I mean, not in like the typical sense that you think of it, but I think it's
00:47:52
unnerving and...
00:47:54
Yeah, it's a scary drama.
00:47:56
has that feeling of dread.
00:47:59
Well yeah, it's a horror drama.
00:48:00
Okay.
00:48:00
But yeah, I definitely think it has elements of horror in it.
00:48:03
Yeah.
00:48:04
Okay.
00:48:05
Okay.
00:48:05
Would you survive?
00:48:08
Yeah, I think so.
00:48:09
Kinda depends on like your interpretation of it, right?
00:48:12
Yeah, I mean.
00:48:13
Is Owen actually trapped?
00:48:16
Is he slowly dying in this coffin?
00:48:18
Being buried under the ground?
00:48:21
Cause I want to be honest, if someone came up to me in my life right now and was
00:48:24
like, you're actually in Buffy and you're buried and you have to go bury yourself
00:48:29
again to get out, I'd be like, okay buddy, step away from me.
00:48:36
Well, I think that was his reaction.
00:48:39
Yeah, but it's also, I mean, the whole movie is kind of metaphorical, so I think
00:48:43
we can give ourselves a pass and say that we survived.
00:48:46
Yeah, well, and survive and thrive are two different things.
00:48:52
That's true.
00:48:54
I would survive.
00:48:55
I don't think I'd thrive.
00:49:00
Yeah.
00:49:02
All right.
00:49:03
Do you want to predict next week's movie?
00:49:05
Do I get to?
00:49:06
Yeah?
00:49:07
okay, yeah, I do.
00:49:07
Maybe I'm a little ahead of myself.
00:49:09
Yeah, you are.
00:49:12
As a behind the scenes, kd has already watched the films we will be talking about
00:49:20
in our seventy fifth episode, but we're only on episode seventy two right now.
00:49:25
This is episode seventy two.
00:49:26
So, yeah, yeah, we got we got a few in between.
00:49:32
Just two more episodes.
00:49:37
Yeah, take that-
00:49:39
take that for what you will.
00:49:42
Okay, so next week, we are going to be talking about the movie Tremors.
00:49:49
The earthquake movie.
00:49:50
The earthquake cave movie.
00:49:52
The Earthquake...quake?
00:49:54
I can't say that.
00:49:55
The Earthquake cave movie.
00:49:57
Tell me about it.
00:49:59
I've been like really wanting to watch this one.
00:50:00
People talk about it on TikTok all the time, but I skip.
00:50:04
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it's cave earthquake and there's monsters.
00:50:10
No, I don't think so.
00:50:12
So they, yeah, so it's the world is struck by almost endless earthquakes, constant
00:50:22
earthquakes.
00:50:23
All the time.
00:50:24
And the only places that have held up are caves.
00:50:29
Solid.
00:50:29
Yeah, so they have to go into the caves and you know what?
00:50:33
There are monsters where Yeah, where an ancient society of beings have been able
00:50:43
to survive.
00:50:46
My god, can you imagine this was a dinosaur movie?
00:50:48
It's not though, but that would be really cool.
00:50:51
Have been able to survive underground because the tremors don't hit below the
00:50:56
crust of the
00:50:59
earth.
00:51:00
So very similar to that other cave movie we watched.
00:51:05
There's this like, yeah, there's this like pale...
00:51:08
they've been able to live underground.
00:51:12
But
00:51:12
now...
00:51:14
Mm -hmm.
00:51:15
the tremors are coming to affect the caves.
00:51:19
So they have to like fight their way.
00:51:21
Who's gonna be the ones to go up above ground?
00:51:23
Is it gonna be the modern day humans that are went to the caves to escape or the
00:51:31
ancient species of whatever?
00:51:34
Who's gonna get out?
00:51:35
And it's gonna be the humans.
00:51:36
It's gonna be the humans because I think there's a sequel.
00:51:37
Great.
00:51:38
Tremors is not about earthquakes.
00:51:42
It is not about caves.
00:51:44
It is a monster comedy horror film.
00:51:48
That sounds fun.
00:51:50
Starring Kevin Bacon.
00:51:53
That's right.
00:51:56
Shit, we talked about it during Friday the 13th.
00:51:59
Yeah!
00:51:59
Creature feature.
00:52:01
It is a creature feature.
00:52:03
Is Kevin the Creature featured?
00:52:06
No.
00:52:08
Kevin's a man.
00:52:11
Okay.
00:52:13
think you might be able to argue that the creatures are a little...dinosaur -y.
00:52:19
Not in appearance, but...
00:52:23
Ancient and survived a meteor?
00:52:25
Ancient.
00:52:27
Are they aliens?
00:52:31
I don't think so.
00:52:31
There's one thing I love, it's an ancient alien.
00:52:34
I don't know if they ever like fully.
00:52:38
I'm sure they
00:52:39
quite a few tremors movies.
00:52:42
Are they lizardy?
00:52:43
Is that why they're dinosaur -y?
00:52:45
No, they're just, they're old.
00:52:49
They've been here a long time.
00:52:51
That sounds like dinosaurs.
00:52:52
That's why I said you can make an argument.
00:52:55
Okay, I'm into it.
00:52:56
Yeah.
00:52:56
everything I was sure about is not what it is and everything I was like, it's
00:53:00
probably not that, it's definitely what it is.
00:53:02
Yeah, yeah, a hundred percent.
00:53:07
Cute.
00:53:08
But yeah, this movie was made in the 90s.
00:53:12
It came out in 1990.
00:53:13
And we just did a movie reminiscing on the 90s.
00:53:16
So what perfect timing.
00:53:18
Perfect timing.
00:53:19
All right, well, we'll chat about it next Tuesday.
00:53:26
Next Tuesday, innit..
00:53:28
Sorry for that.
00:53:30
Anyways.
00:53:33
Thank you for listening.
00:53:34
I'm sorry you had to hear all of that.
00:53:37
And also, we'll see you next week when we talk about Tremors.
00:53:41
Bye!
