00:00:25
Hello.
00:00:27
Hello?
00:00:28
Happy Tuesday!
00:00:30
Happy Tuesday.
00:00:32
Welcome back to Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:00:34
That's us.
00:00:35
huh.
00:00:36
Every week it is.
00:00:37
Every single week it remains to be us.
00:00:43
Yeah.
00:00:44
How are you liking your short hair?
00:00:45
it's cute, right?
00:00:47
I curled it.
00:00:48
I know.
00:00:49
Yesterday, I...
00:00:51
like 10 o 'clock at night, we got home from Target, I bought entirely new makeup,
00:00:55
curled all my hair.
00:00:56
I mean, I did, I curled my hair.
00:00:59
All of it.
00:01:00
Put on makeup, took a picture, wiped it off.
00:01:06
Yeah.
00:01:07
Thank you.
00:01:07
like that's my girl.
00:01:09
Mm -hmm.
00:01:11
Yeah, that's like the third time you've seen me wear makeup.
00:01:13
Yeah, that's true.
00:01:16
God, I wish I were you.
00:01:19
I don't wear it very often.
00:01:20
I probably should.
00:01:21
See that?
00:01:21
I say if you don't have to, don't do it.
00:01:25
If I didn't have to put on...
00:01:27
Well, I mean, I don't have to, but...
00:01:28
No.
00:01:30
You have a great complexion.
00:01:31
enough, I don't at all.
00:01:33
But thank you for saying that.
00:01:36
If I was confident...
00:01:38
Yeah, it's because I...
00:01:41
I wouldn't know.
00:01:42
cause you've never seen it!
00:01:46
Anyways, enough about us.
00:01:50
News!
00:01:52
Kick us off.
00:01:54
Please.
00:01:55
We have an update on Jordan Peele's fourth horror movie.
00:02:00
Yes, yes, yes.
00:02:02
It's gotten a release date.
00:02:03
October 23rd, 2026.
00:02:09
So far away.
00:02:11
He posted on social media today, actually, the day that we're recording this.
00:02:15
Just the date.
00:02:17
That's it.
00:02:17
No other context.
00:02:18
We don't have a cast.
00:02:19
We don't have a synopsis.
00:02:20
We don't even have a title.
00:02:21
The title that we thought we had, however many months ago that was, that we thought
00:02:25
there was a title, gone.
00:02:26
Scrapped.
00:02:27
Yeah, I realized that, because Him, which was previously The Goat or whatever, that
00:02:33
he's just producing that.
00:02:34
I thought that that was his fourth film, but no.
00:02:37
No.
00:02:39
Yeah.
00:02:40
But I guess we have a date.
00:02:41
A week before Halloween, two years from now.
00:02:44
That's so depressing.
00:02:45
I mean exciting, but too far.
00:02:49
I need it now.
00:02:51
We've been talking about it for a year.
00:02:53
I know.
00:02:53
I guess that's the curse of reporting horror news.
00:02:59
Long wait.
00:03:01
Yeah.
00:03:05
The 2015 sci -fi psychological thriller Circle is getting a sequel.
00:03:13
Yeah, the original kind of gained like a cult following after it was released on
00:03:17
Netflix and that supported it enough to get another one greenlit.
00:03:22
So it's going to be called Circles.
00:03:25
Cute.
00:03:27
Because there's two of them.
00:03:29
there's more than one this time.
00:03:33
But yeah, filming is expected to start later this year.
00:03:36
Cute!
00:03:38
I thought Netflix's Circle was a reality TV show.
00:03:42
People put in a building.
00:03:43
So that is The Circle.
00:03:46
This was just a movie.
00:03:48
I don't think it was even a Netflix film.
00:03:50
It was, it just gained popularity after it went to streaming.
00:03:54
Like when it was released, it didn't really make much of a buzz.
00:03:56
And then it found its audience on streaming.
00:04:01
Yeah.
00:04:02
for it.
00:04:04
Robert Pattinson of Twilight and Batman fame and other movies, I guess, is going
00:04:11
to produce a remake of the popular 80s horror film Possession.
00:04:16
I heard about this.
00:04:17
Today?
00:04:18
Maybe.
00:04:20
As I thought.
00:04:22
He's gonna get support from Parker Finn who directed Smile.
00:04:26
It sounds like Parker Finn's gonna write it.
00:04:29
We don't have a cast yet, but there's rumors that Warner Brothers, A24, Netflix,
00:04:34
and a couple other studios are all in a bidding war over the rights to it.
00:04:37
Alright.
00:04:37
I've never seen Possession.
00:04:40
So someone tell me if I should.
00:04:43
Okay.
00:04:44
Maybe I will.
00:04:44
You mentioned Smile.
00:04:46
I have semi -related news to Smile.
00:04:50
Loosely.
00:04:52
But you know, segues, segues, we love them.
00:04:56
Okay, so Kevin Bacon, who we love, and Kira Sedwick are planning to co -direct
00:05:03
and star in a horror movie because they're like huge fans of the genre.
00:05:09
And...
00:05:10
Of course, they've cast their daughter, Socie Bacon.
00:05:17
Nepotism reigns once again.
00:05:20
Anyways, Socie Bacon, starred in Smile.
00:05:23
So that's my connection.
00:05:24
We brought it home, full circle.
00:05:27
There we go.
00:05:28
I think the real news is that Kara Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are married.
00:05:32
I didn't know that.
00:05:35
yeah, for like a while.
00:05:38
Yeah, I mean, they would have to be.
00:05:39
I don't remember either of them being married recently.
00:05:43
Cute.
00:05:46
nepotism.
00:05:48
nepotism.
00:05:49
You sly dog.
00:05:53
is a sly dog.
00:05:54
Everywhere you turn there's a nepo baby.
00:05:57
Yeah, it's just all of Hollywood.
00:06:00
They're all nepotism babies.
00:06:03
Or they had rich parents.
00:06:04
Doesn't have whatever it is it is.
00:06:05
parents.
00:06:07
Well, nepotism is more like your parents getting you a job.
00:06:12
But like, yeah, I mean, having rich parents is definitely...
00:06:17
It's much easier to follow your dreams when you don't have to worry about income.
00:06:22
Yeah, so fair.
00:06:23
Okay, one more for me.
00:06:24
It's video game news.
00:06:27
The makers of Jurassic Park Survival and the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
00:06:32
remake are releasing a Quiet Place video game called The Road Ahead.
00:06:39
-huh, and this week we got our first look.
00:06:41
Also today, the day that we're filming.
00:06:43
There's an official reveal trailer on YouTube now and it's kind of giving
00:06:47
phasmophobia.
00:06:48
Yeah, you're like walking around with a bunch of handheld equipment trying to be
00:06:51
quiet.
00:06:52
And it looks like the biggest enemy is going to be the map, which like sabotages
00:06:55
you into making noise and then you die.
00:06:59
That's, I mean, we only get like maybe 60 seconds of what looks to be gameplay.
00:07:05
But you're like, you're trying to be quiet and you step on class or you close the
00:07:12
door a little too hard.
00:07:13
And then here comes an alien.
00:07:15
Here comes the alien.
00:07:18
All right.
00:07:19
that comes out later this year, which will tie us over between Quiet Place Day 1,
00:07:24
which releases later this month, and then A Quiet Place 3, which is supposedly
00:07:28
scheduled for next year.
00:07:29
Yeah, well.
00:07:31
This episode is going to be released in July.
00:07:36
So A Quiet Place Day 1 is already out if you're listening to this, but when we're
00:07:40
filming it, it is not yet out.
00:07:44
I know we had to.
00:07:47
It's summer.
00:07:48
We've got vacations.
00:07:49
We've got to record in advance.
00:07:52
in Scotland right now?
00:07:53
Yeah, this comes out July 2nd.
00:07:56
my God, if you're listening to this, Katie's in Scotland.
00:07:58
Yeah.
00:08:01
okay.
00:08:02
Last news from me.
00:08:05
Longlegs comes out this month.
00:08:08
If you're listening to this July, it comes out in July.
00:08:14
It has some of my favorite marketing for a horror movie in recent memory.
00:08:18
It's just been like very cryptic, like little, you know, snippets and stuff.
00:08:25
Really been loving it.
00:08:26
They've continued this viral campaign by creating a website.
00:08:30
that shows and shares how the fictional serial killer in the movie is killing his
00:08:36
victims.
00:08:36
I've been tempted to go look.
00:08:38
I haven't yet because I kind of want to go into this as blind as possible.
00:08:43
But if you're interested, it is there.
00:08:45
It's called thebirthdaymurders.net.
00:08:49
So apparently there's info on the serial killer and there's crime scene photos.
00:08:55
Yeah.
00:08:57
fun.
00:08:57
I know.
00:08:59
I'm kind of nervous about that one because I'm really excited about it.
00:09:02
What you've just told me is the extent of my knowledge of that movie.
00:09:07
I know.
00:09:09
my God, I get the like little snippets on TikTok and it's like.
00:09:13
I don't even get that.
00:09:14
The marketing's been good.
00:09:16
I have two TikToks.
00:09:18
I have, you know, my main TikTok and then I have the horror TikTok that I go through
00:09:23
for news and stuff.
00:09:25
My main TikTok is dogs and Taylor Swift.
00:09:28
Fun.
00:09:28
Anyway.
00:09:29
All right.
00:09:30
Well, if you're here, you probably came for X.
00:09:33
Literally and figuratively.
00:09:35
Ha!
00:09:35
I'll give you a quick synopsis.
00:09:38
X is the first of three movies in the X series written and directed by Ti West.
00:09:44
It's about a group of actors in the 1970s who set out to make a porn in a remote
00:09:48
cabin in Texas.
00:09:49
The elderly couple whose land the cabin is on turns out to be much more dubious than
00:09:54
they originally appear, and the actors and crew find themselves in a desperate and
00:09:59
ultimately hopeless fight for their lives.
00:10:01
Released in March of 2022, it starts Mia Goth as Maxine and Pearl, as well as Jenna
00:10:06
Ortega, Brittany Snow, and Kid Cudi, which I didn't know until writing this synopsis,
00:10:12
is an A24 film shot on a $1 million budget, which made $15 million at the box
00:10:17
office.
00:10:18
Did pretty good.
00:10:19
And finally, it has a 6 .5 out of 10 on IMDb and an impressive 94 % critic score
00:10:24
and 75 % audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:10:27
The critics loved it.
00:10:29
And audiences mostly did.
00:10:32
But yeah, critics really like this movie.
00:10:34
Yeah.
00:10:34
Do you remember...
00:10:37
Do you remember Ti West's name?
00:10:40
I do, but I don't remember, I was gonna say that we have watched something of his.
00:10:47
I don't remember.
00:10:49
He did the honeymoon segment in V/H/S.
00:10:53
That's right.
00:10:56
I did know that.
00:10:57
I would not have known what segment it was, but I do remember that he was part of
00:11:00
that.
00:11:02
Weird.
00:11:03
That's all he's done?
00:11:05
No, I think that's all you've seen.
00:11:11
But yeah, no, he's done other things that are on our list.
00:11:17
But yeah, they filmed in New Zealand.
00:11:22
When Ti West went down there, they had a mandatory two week COVID lockdown because
00:11:27
this was height of the pandemic.
00:11:30
So during that quarantine in the two weeks, he wrote Pearl, the prequel.
00:11:35
And A24 saw the script, they greenlit it before they even started production on X.
00:11:41
Well, I guess before production had wrapped, I think they had started by then.
00:11:45
And yeah, he just asked Mia Goth if she wanted to stay and she said yes, and they
00:11:50
just...
00:11:51
filmed it right after they finished filming this and it released later that
00:11:56
year.
00:11:56
Crazy.
00:11:58
It was crazy, because I remember when it came out and then all of a sudden they
00:12:01
were like, the sequel or the prequel is coming out.
00:12:03
And I was like, wait, what?
00:12:05
Like, I haven't even had time to see the first one.
00:12:07
What do you mean?
00:12:07
Yeah, just to like recap that timeline because I was obsessed with this.
00:12:13
Production on X started in February 2021.
00:12:16
Then he had the two week quarantine in his hotel right before that where he wrote
00:12:21
Pearl.
00:12:22
A24 greenlit it before March of 2021.
00:12:26
So like within two months again from what I can tell.
00:12:29
So literally a month later and then they filmed back to back.
00:12:33
X was released March of 2022, Pearl was released September.
00:12:36
Crazy.
00:12:37
Pumping them out.
00:12:39
Seriously.
00:12:40
There's interviews of Mia Goth saying that she hear- She's like almost trying to be
00:12:45
secretive about it.
00:12:46
She's saying that she had known Pearl's backstory.
00:12:49
This is in interviews for X.
00:12:51
And she said that was really helpful in her being able to portray the character,
00:12:56
obviously.
00:12:56
But it does seem like she's trying to be quiet about oh, we also filmed Pearl.
00:13:01
yeah, she probably couldn't have said that quite yet, but yeah, I'm sure that did
00:13:07
help just like knowing who she was.
00:13:10
Yeah.
00:13:11
Also, when I guessed this movie and I said Maxine and Pearl are the same person, I
00:13:16
wasn't completely wrong.
00:13:18
You would- they are played by the same person.
00:13:23
But two different characters.
00:13:25
Which actually like, it threw me off the first time I watched it.
00:13:31
I don't know what it is about old age makeup that like I can just clock
00:13:35
immediately.
00:13:37
But like as soon as I saw her, I was like, because I didn't know that she played it
00:13:42
when I went into it.
00:13:43
Like I didn't know that she was playing both parts.
00:13:46
But as soon as I saw Pearl, I was like, that's old age makeup.
00:13:50
And so like, I kept expecting like a Midnight Mass type of thing.
00:13:52
Like I was like, is this supernatural?
00:13:55
Like, does something happen?
00:13:56
Like I didn't, I was so confused.
00:13:59
And then the movie ended and I was like, wait, why?
00:14:04
And then I like realized that it was Mia Goth and was like, okay.
00:14:09
Although her voice kind of, I think I kind of like could figure out that it was her,
00:14:12
because her voice is very distinct.
00:14:14
Yeah.
00:14:15
Yeah, even with her Southern American accent.
00:14:20
Yeah.
00:14:20
Howard was who tipped me off of the old age makeup.
00:14:24
Like I clocked him immediately.
00:14:26
I was like, terrible makeup.
00:14:28
It wasn't terrible But yeah, no, so like once I knew he was I was like, okay, so
00:14:33
this lady probably is too.
00:14:34
I did not realize Yeah, which was like almost like why did you even put
00:14:40
prosthetics on him at all?
00:14:42
Yeah, I think they wanted them to be like older, older.
00:14:45
Yeah, and I think he's done like character work like that before like monster work
00:14:51
before the guy who plays Howard.
00:14:54
I could be making that up.
00:14:55
he was in the Lord of the Rings movies and the Hobbit movies.
00:15:00
So yeah, he's probably done.
00:15:01
Uruk-hai.
00:15:03
Uruk-hai?
00:15:06
who's that?
00:15:06
Is that Lord of the Rings?
00:15:07
of the races in I'm just guessing.
00:15:12
Who's to say?
00:15:13
Anyway.
00:15:16
Yeah.
00:15:16
Mia Goth said that, so it took six to eight hours to do her makeup and there
00:15:23
were 30 individual prosthetic pieces.
00:15:25
She said at first that was really restricting, she hated it, but eventually
00:15:30
she realized that she could
00:15:32
harness that restricting feeling and use it to get into character while she was
00:15:36
literally watching herself age in front of a mirror.
00:15:39
Yeah.
00:15:39
There's a time lapse on YouTube if you haven't seen it.
00:15:42
It's very cool.
00:15:43
That's just like, ugh.
00:15:45
To sit there for six to eight hours just getting your makeup done and then you
00:15:48
still have to go act.
00:15:51
For like, what, 12 hours?
00:15:52
At least to make the day worthwhile.
00:15:55
I'd be so tired.
00:15:56
and they were like probably backwards because they filmed at night a lot.
00:15:59
Yeah.
00:16:00
Yeah, brutal.
00:16:01
Yeah.
00:16:04
I was surprised that this is her first lead role.
00:16:06
Mia Goth?
00:16:07
Mm -hmm.
00:16:08
Yeah.
00:16:08
Yeah.
00:16:09
She's like.
00:16:10
I've only seen her in like...
00:16:12
I feel like this is like the movie that kind of like...
00:16:15
made her career.
00:16:17
Because she's been like, I've definitely seen her in other things as side
00:16:21
characters, but.
00:16:22
But yeah, this definitely skyrocketed her.
00:16:25
Yeah, I kept confusing her with...
00:16:26
I saw one girl, dated Kanye for a minute.
00:16:30
She's in Uncut Gems.
00:16:31
Julia Fox.
00:16:32
Julia Fox.
00:16:33
For whatever reason, I keep getting them confused.
00:16:35
They do not look alike at all.
00:16:37
No, they really don't.
00:16:39
They just got the same vibe about them, you know?
00:16:42
okay.
00:16:43
See, I feel like I like Julia Fox's vibe, and I'm like, iffy on Mia Goss vibe.
00:16:48
And the other way around.
00:16:51
I've grown on Mi- Mi- Mia Fox.
00:16:53
I've grown.
00:16:54
What's her name?
00:16:55
Mia Fuck.
00:16:55
Mia Fuck.
00:16:56
I did it again.
00:16:57
Mia Goth.
00:16:59
Mia Goth has grown on me.
00:17:02
I don't like Julia Fox.
00:17:03
I don't like her at all.
00:17:04
just seems funny.
00:17:05
Yeah.
00:17:06
She seems camp to me.
00:17:08
Like I feel like she's like over the top, but like she kind of knows what she's
00:17:11
doing.
00:17:13
Whereas like, I don't know, Miya got just, I'm not sure about it.
00:17:19
Is it the eyebrows?
00:17:21
No, it's her kicking someone in the head.
00:17:23
What with the lawsuit!
00:17:28
lawsuit.
00:17:28
I forgot about that.
00:17:30
I don't think she did it on purpose.
00:17:33
Even before that, I don't know.
00:17:34
Something's just off about her.
00:17:35
Hmm, I think it's the eyebrows.
00:17:37
I really think it's the eyebrows.
00:17:39
I think it's the voice.
00:17:40
That doesn't help.
00:17:42
Her accent, her real accent sounds fake.
00:17:45
It does.
00:17:46
This accent kinda sounded fake too.
00:17:48
What this Texas accent?
00:17:51
Yeah, I just didn't think the southern accent fit her very well.
00:17:54
Which is so funny because she made a comment in an interview about how like
00:18:00
acting in like the South of America is like she felt at home.
00:18:06
Like what?
00:18:07
Where is she from?
00:18:09
She's from Europe somewhere.
00:18:10
like being in the South of America or pretending to be in the South of America?
00:18:15
This was filmed in New Zealand.
00:18:18
Got it, okay.
00:18:22
Okay.
00:18:23
Yeah, I just thought that was a very strange comment that she made.
00:18:26
It felt at home for her to play a farmer and a southern girl, a little southern
00:18:32
girl.
00:18:33
Like, what?
00:18:33
What?
00:18:35
I don't know.
00:18:36
Do they have a southern population in Europe that I don't know about?
00:18:43
No, there's no south and there's no farms in all of Europe.
00:18:50
Is it the same?
00:18:52
I don't know.
00:18:54
I've never been to the farms of Europe.
00:18:56
I'll let you know next week.
00:18:58
I'll be there.
00:19:01
One of my favorite fun facts about this movie is the title, which refers to the X
00:19:10
rating, right?
00:19:12
And that was used by the MPAA from 1968 to 1990.
00:19:18
And it was to indicate a film that was only suitable for an audience aged 16 and
00:19:23
older.
00:19:24
And the idea behind the rating was that it wasn't trademarked.
00:19:28
So...
00:19:29
filmmakers could release it under that rating without having it be reviewed for
00:19:35
age certification, right?
00:19:36
So they could just basically self use that rating.
00:19:42
They could assign it to their movies themselves, use it, and then they wouldn't
00:19:46
have to do it.
00:19:46
So like A Clockwork Orange, when that was released, they used the X rating because
00:19:49
they didn't want to get that R rating that, you know, limits who's going to see
00:19:53
it.
00:19:54
Okay.
00:19:54
Porn started exploiting it.
00:19:57
So they would just release porn to theaters under the X rating because they
00:20:03
could.
00:20:06
And so, yeah, theaters ended up stopping, like they would stop even allowing any X
00:20:14
movies to play because it started getting associated with porn.
00:20:17
And so then it kind of forced people who weren't doing porn, but...
00:20:23
That wanted to avoid the R rating to just get the R rating.
00:20:27
So yeah, and then they discontinued the X rating and it's now NC 17, which is
00:20:32
trademarked.
00:20:33
So you can't self apply it.
00:20:34
You got to get it rated unless it's an unrated film.
00:20:38
So.
00:20:39
Interesting.
00:20:40
Yeah, but I think that that's like accurate to this movie, right?
00:20:46
Porn.
00:20:47
Yeah, Ti said that he wanted the movie, like first and foremost, to be a love
00:20:50
letter to film.
00:20:51
But he mentioned that in the 70s porn sort of like leveled the playing field because
00:20:57
of the whole X -rating thing.
00:20:59
Because it allowed people to become movie stars essentially.
00:21:02
Like big silver screen stars.
00:21:04
Silver screen?
00:21:05
Stars.
00:21:07
And he said that specifically about that he enjoyed exploring the characters that
00:21:12
really showed the entrepreneurial spirit of that.
00:21:16
like the characters in X did.
00:21:18
I thought that was fun.
00:21:19
Yeah.
00:21:20
We've talked about how it's filmed in New Zealand.
00:21:23
Mm -hmm.
00:21:23
Which is weird, because when I think New Zealand, I think Lord of the Rings, right?
00:21:27
So like, because that was filmed there, so like, this setting just doesn't feel like
00:21:34
New Zealand to me, but obviously it's an entire country.
00:21:39
But I thought they did well with choosing the sets and stuff, because it looks like
00:21:43
it could have been in Texas.
00:21:45
But anyways.
00:21:46
what about I mean, the Lord of the Rings?
00:21:49
What it what do you think about the Lord of the Rings?
00:21:53
What do you think of?
00:21:55
I think of like lush green hills and forests and stuff like that.
00:22:00
Is that not what was in X?
00:22:03
Well, yeah, but it was more like farm.
00:22:06
They had like the dusty roads and stuff like that.
00:22:10
It looked more rural, I guess, than like the fantasy world that is Lord of the
00:22:15
Rings.
00:22:16
fantasy, than a fantasy Hobbit town?
00:22:20
okay.
00:22:20
what I picture as New Zealand is a fantasy Hobbit town.
00:22:24
Weird, because I, I mean grass, trees, for.
00:22:29
I s - I don't - okay.
00:22:30
that this looked similar to Lord of the Rings.
00:22:32
Well, I mean, I didn't think that intentionally, but when you said, I don't
00:22:37
understand how you don't see it as Lord of the Rings now.
00:22:40
It's like grass and stuff.
00:22:41
Okay, yeah, just grass.
00:22:44
Hills.
00:22:45
I do agree, it looks like Texas.
00:22:47
Thank you.
00:22:49
Do you think Lord of the Rings looks like Texas?
00:22:51
I don't think Lord of the Rings looks like Texas.
00:22:55
Anyways, that wasn't my point at all.
00:22:58
My point was that apparently you could tell that it was filmed in the southern
00:23:03
hemisphere at the shot of the moon coming up because it's flipped.
00:23:10
Yep.
00:23:11
Yeah, which I think is fun.
00:23:15
Yeah.
00:23:16
I love a space fact.
00:23:18
It's a space movie.
00:23:20
It is at its core.
00:23:23
It's about space.
00:23:25
Yeah.
00:23:26
and time.
00:23:26
Space and time.
00:23:27
This movie's got a lot of foreshadowing.
00:23:30
So much.
00:23:32
Should we go through them all?
00:23:34
Okay.
00:23:35
My favorite, Bobbi Lynn, is shown next to a mural of a blonde woman with an
00:23:41
alligator pulling off of her bikini, or off her bikini.
00:23:45
She dies by crocodile, or alligator, I guess.
00:23:48
I mean, if they're in New Zealand, it's a crocodile, but if they're in Texas, it's
00:23:52
an alligator.
00:23:54
Wayne tells RJ that people's eyes are gonna pop out of their skulls and then he
00:24:00
dies with a pitchfork to the eyes.
00:24:02
Disgusting.
00:24:05
Wayne also tells RJ never mention a woman's weight and then Howard has his
00:24:12
fatal heart attack immediately after saying that Lorraine is heavier than she
00:24:16
looks.
00:24:18
That's a really good one.
00:24:19
Yeah.
00:24:19
Jackson, played by Kid Cudi, mentions several times that he's threatened by
00:24:25
farmers with guns or he's been threatened by farmers with guns and then he's shot by
00:24:29
Howard, farmer with a gun.
00:24:32
And Howard mentions that he's worried Pearl might fall and break her hip and
00:24:37
then she does, right before Maxine drives over her face with a truck.
00:24:40
Yeah.
00:24:41
Yeah, I like that when it kind of like all connects and you can find those little
00:24:44
Easter eggs of...
00:24:46
I like it when it's like hinted at but not completely spelled out for you.
00:24:50
You know what I mean?
00:24:51
Well, I didn't notice any of those until I read the fun fact on IMDb.
00:24:55
Yeah, I think the only one I noticed was like the mural.
00:25:00
Yeah.
00:25:01
I didn't even recognize that.
00:25:02
mention Psycho.
00:25:05
And then later they find like the partially submerged car, like Marion
00:25:10
Crane's car in Psycho.
00:25:12
Cute.
00:25:13
And then in MaXXXine, the new one that's coming out, she's like on the back lots at
00:25:18
the Psycho house.
00:25:20
Yeah.
00:25:22
Yeah.
00:25:23
The Universal back lots, which we've walked through.
00:25:26
We've walked on the steps of the Bates Motel.
00:25:28
Yeah, well, I haven't.
00:25:31
We didn't do that.
00:25:33
We walked past it.
00:25:36
No, we walked past it.
00:25:38
The hotel.
00:25:39
Yeah, no, you're right.
00:25:39
The hotel.
00:25:40
Yes.
00:25:40
The house.
00:25:41
No.
00:25:42
Yeah, not the house.
00:25:43
You can't, I don't even think you can go in the house.
00:25:45
You can go up on the steps and get a picture with Norman, but you can't go
00:25:48
like, yeah, no, we walked on the steps of the motel, not the house.
00:25:53
You're so right.
00:25:55
I don't know why.
00:25:56
I don't know why I argue with you.
00:25:58
I was.
00:25:59
I was probably clinging to you with my soiled pants.
00:26:03
Literally, I peed my pants.
00:26:06
Because I kept screaming so loud.
00:26:07
Yeah, you were screaming a lot.
00:26:10
My favorite was when we'd just be walking through a hallway and nothing was
00:26:13
happening and you'd keep screaming.
00:26:16
something was gonna happen Eventually, I might as well prep a little but no some of
00:26:23
the jump scares Yeah some of the
00:26:27
just enjoy watching other people go through haunted houses.
00:26:31
yeah.
00:26:31
Yeah, I'm really good at entertainment in a haunted house.
00:26:34
Nobody here will go with me.
00:26:35
I literally have to fly my ass out to LA to go to a haunted house.
00:26:38
Well luckily you can fly out here and I will do it anytime.
00:26:41
When Universal opens that permanent exhibit in Vegas, we're going.
00:26:46
100%.
00:26:48
Ooh, it's gonna be so fun.
00:26:50
Yeah.
00:26:53
back to the film.
00:26:54
sorry.
00:26:56
We just like talking about us.
00:26:57
You know what?
00:26:59
What is a podcast if not our self -indulgent opinions and life stories?
00:27:06
Another little like foreshadowing thing.
00:27:09
The guy who's in the basement when Lorraine finds him like tied up, his face
00:27:15
is on the milk carton that Jackson drinks out of.
00:27:18
He's like one of the missing people or whatever.
00:27:22
Yeah.
00:27:23
Which also a fun fact, this movie takes place in 1979 and they didn't do that
00:27:28
until 1984.
00:27:29
So missing people were not on
00:27:32
milk cartons at the time that this was filmed.
00:27:35
What's that called, an anachronism?
00:27:37
Yes.
00:27:37
I could be wrong.
00:27:39
I could have just made that up.
00:27:40
word that you just use.
00:27:42
Anachronism.
00:27:44
A thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than which it exists,
00:27:48
especially a thing that is conspicuously old -fashioned.
00:27:52
Yep, and anachronism.
00:27:54
Nice.
00:27:54
Wait, I think I do know that because I think there's like another movie.
00:27:58
Well, there's a whole category on IMDb of anachronisms.
00:28:02
interesting.
00:28:04
Yeah, there's a movie that we'll watch.
00:28:06
I feel like I'll probably put it on the schedule when the sequel comes out, but
00:28:10
it's called It Follows.
00:28:13
And it's like...
00:28:16
about a clown.
00:28:17
No, that's It.
00:28:20
But It Follows is about like, no, I won't tell you what it's about.
00:28:24
But it's just like you can't pinpoint like when when it takes place because all of
00:28:32
the like furniture and set decoration looks older.
00:28:36
But then like they use technology that's not even created yet.
00:28:42
So it's like it's so weird.
00:28:43
And they did it on purpose to kind of be like-
00:28:46
Anachronistic, I think.
00:28:48
Like, you couldn't really pinpoint where it was.
00:28:50
Like, there's futuristic stuff, but also, like, old -timey stuff.
00:28:55
It was weird.
00:28:55
The word anachronistic sounds like a deadly sin.
00:28:58
Yeah.
00:28:58
Little bit.
00:28:59
Anachronistic.
00:29:01
She was too anachronistic.
00:29:03
Killed her.
00:29:04
Yikes.
00:29:05
You know, I definitely thought It Follows was a sequel to It.
00:29:07
Mm -mm.
00:29:08
Well now I know not to guess that when I have to guess that.
00:29:12
Because I would have.
00:29:13
not about Pennywise.
00:29:16
Too bad.
00:29:17
Oh no, it's okay.
00:29:20
Ti West also, when he was kind of developing this, said that he wanted to
00:29:26
bring the shock value back to horror films that he remembered growing up.
00:29:29
He really wanted to focus on the taboo and the edginess that he remembered.
00:29:34
He specifically called out like the scene from of is it Wayne that steps on the
00:29:39
nail?
00:29:40
Mm.
00:29:40
I think so, yeah.
00:29:43
the poor guy got impaled a couple times.
00:29:46
Yeah, yeah.
00:29:47
Sucks to be Wayne.
00:29:48
Is Wayne who's standing in the door with his shlong out too?
00:29:53
Is that who was standing in the door?
00:29:55
Or was it Kid Cudi?
00:29:56
I don't remember Wayne being naked.
00:29:58
It's when Howard comes to the door.
00:30:00
I don't remember.
00:30:01
the door and then somebody opens the door and his schlongs out.
00:30:04
You remember that?
00:30:06
He was enormous.
00:30:11
Might have been him then.
00:30:12
Kid Cudi?
00:30:12
No, Wayne.
00:30:13
Because I remember him opening the door for Howard.
00:30:16
But he does it the first time.
00:30:17
Who does it the second time when the schlong's out?
00:30:19
Who's to say?
00:30:19
I'm gonna have to re -watch it?
00:30:21
rewatch it.
00:30:22
I wonder if that was a prosthetic.
00:30:24
Been on your mind a lot?
00:30:25
Yeah, a little bit.
00:30:26
Yeah.
00:30:26
I'm telling you it was really big.
00:30:29
It's sad that it didn't stick with me enough to like remember this.
00:30:33
don't soon forget a schlong that giant.
00:30:36
Yeah.
00:30:36
Anyway.
00:30:37
schlongs.
00:30:38
This was Brittany Snow's first nude scene and she said in an interview, what did she
00:30:47
say?
00:30:47
Direct quote, incoming.
00:30:50
She said, I think there was a lot of confidence in terms of our characters and
00:30:53
a part of the nudity came from the confidence that our characters exuded.
00:30:55
It almost felt necessary because not only were we filming a porn, but our characters
00:30:59
would have been so comfortable with that.
00:31:01
It was an exercise in me feeling confident about my body.
00:31:04
I was pretty proud of myself.
00:31:06
And that's nice.
00:31:07
I feel like if you're gonna do a nude scene in a movie, I feel like that is the
00:31:11
outcome that you would want them to feel.
00:31:14
If you're gonna do a nude scene in a psycho biddy film, that is how you should
00:31:20
feel also.
00:31:21
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:22
We'll talk more about that later.
00:31:24
Great.
00:31:25
But yeah, I always feel bad when you hear about people regretting doing nude scenes
00:31:29
or stuff like that, so it's nice that she felt empowered by it.
00:31:33
Mm -hmm.
00:31:33
I was surprised to see the iconic Jenna Ortega scream in this movie.
00:31:42
You didn't know it was in this?
00:31:43
Nope, I didn't even know she was in this until she showed up on screen.
00:31:46
Yeah, she is in this.
00:31:49
Yeah.
00:31:50
Until a few minutes ago.
00:31:53
But no, the scene where she's doing that, she filmed it extremely hungover.
00:32:00
She went on a bar crawl with Kid Cudi the night before.
00:32:03
Hahaha!
00:32:03
Imagine screaming that loud and that expressively being hungover.
00:32:07
Well, no you can't because you've never been hungover Must be nice
00:32:11
I did have a hangover, kind of.
00:32:17
Remember I told you, after New Year's this year.
00:32:20
yeah.
00:32:21
and I was like kind of nauseous the next day.
00:32:23
Shut up.
00:32:24
I was kinda nauseous.
00:32:26
You haven't been hungover until you've seen death the day after you drink.
00:32:31
yeah, that hasn't happened to me yet.
00:32:33
You'll try again later.
00:32:34
Try.
00:32:35
Maybe next New Year's.
00:32:37
Yeah, maybe every New Years now it'll just get progressively worse.
00:32:41
as you get older.
00:32:42
Yeah, I hope not.
00:32:44
It's just not fair.
00:32:45
I wanna drink as much as I want and not have a hangover.
00:32:47
Sorry, some of us are just blessed.
00:32:51
ha ha ha.
00:32:53
Built different.
00:32:54
Yeah, it's the alcoholism that runs in my family.
00:32:58
I have that too and it doesn't give me no hangovers.
00:33:00
Hahaha!
00:33:02
You're like all the downsides, none of the benefit.
00:33:04
seriously.
00:33:06
My addictive personality and I still get hangovers.
00:33:09
yeah, it's a rough life.
00:33:11
Yeah.
00:33:11
Any other fun facts about X?
00:33:15
My only other fun fact that I had was that there actually is an adult film called The
00:33:20
Farmer's Daughter.
00:33:23
Yeah, and I guess it was infamous because it starred an acclaimed mainstream writer
00:33:29
and actor in Spalding Grey.
00:33:32
And if I'm being honest, I've never heard of it.
00:33:35
Yeah, not very acclaimed.
00:33:38
I guess back in the day he was.
00:33:41
what year did it come out?
00:33:44
it came out in 1976.
00:33:46
he was in
00:33:47
Grey's Anatomy the film, which I didn't know that there was a film called Grey's
00:33:52
Anatomy.
00:33:54
No, no, no, not like the show at all.
00:33:56
He was in Kate and Leopold.
00:33:59
He was in, that's newer.
00:34:02
What's back in the day?
00:34:03
none of these are acclaimed?
00:34:05
Writer- he wrote Alive From Off Center which was a tv series he wrote Swimming to
00:34:12
Cambodia, Trying Times - these are just like one episodes of tv- Monsters in a
00:34:17
Box, and Grey's Anatomy.
00:34:20
The movie?
00:34:20
Yeah, the film.
00:34:23
Yeah, I don't know.
00:34:24
Honestly, I haven't really heard of any of these things, but apparently, he was an
00:34:30
acclaimed actor back in the day.
00:34:33
according to who.
00:34:34
Not us.
00:34:35
Not me.
00:34:37
What about you?
00:34:38
Any other fun facts?
00:34:39
No, I'm ready to rate it.
00:34:42
You're ready to rock and roll, huh?
00:34:44
All right, let's do it.
00:34:46
Alright, how scary did you think it was?
00:34:48
I gave it a one.
00:34:50
Okay.
00:34:50
I don't know, I think it was the vibe of the movie.
00:34:54
Because it was just kind of like a fun romp.
00:34:56
It didn't really scare me that much.
00:34:59
What about you?
00:35:01
I give it a 1 .5 because it's a vibe thing.
00:35:06
I think you throw most of this cast together and whatever they make you just
00:35:09
know is like inherently know that it's supposed to be scary.
00:35:13
I wasn't scared, duh, but I knew that it was supposed to be scary.
00:35:21
So 1 .5.
00:35:22
could recognize that it was supposed to be scary.
00:35:25
you're trying to scare me.
00:35:27
You're not doing it, but yeah.
00:35:31
How sexy did you think it was?
00:35:33
Yeah, so you know for a film that's literally porn, you'd think it would be a
00:35:36
five.
00:35:37
But I think, I think that there's just too much elderly slashing going on.
00:35:43
And I think that that's unfortunately the point.
00:35:45
But even still, I gave it a three out of five.
00:35:47
Okay.
00:35:48
And if I'm being honest, one of those points is for the alligator kill.
00:35:51
That really did it for me.
00:35:53
That was hot.
00:35:54
Yeah, I'd love to be killed by an alligator.
00:35:56
Yeah.
00:35:56
I mean, not sexually, but maybe.
00:35:59
Don't know until you try.
00:36:01
Exactly.
00:36:03
Life motto.
00:36:04
I actually agree with you that like it's a porn movie, right?
00:36:09
Well, not a porn movie, it's a movie about a porn.
00:36:13
So you'd think top tier sexiness.
00:36:17
But yeah, no offense to elderly people, but it's just that that killed it a little
00:36:23
bit.
00:36:24
I still gave it a 3 .5.
00:36:26
Okay.
00:36:27
because there was, you know, the vibe of, of, it's a slasher and slashes are always
00:36:32
kind of a little sexy.
00:36:35
So yeah, I gave it a 3 .5.
00:36:36
How fucked up did you think it was?
00:36:39
I give it a 1 .5.
00:36:41
Okay.
00:36:42
Because the point five was just for like the elderly vibe, you know, when she like
00:36:45
crawls into bed with her.
00:36:47
That - I didn't like that.
00:36:48
I don't know what I would do if I woke up and an elderly woman was hugging me in
00:36:52
bed, but I don't think I'd like that.
00:36:53
-
00:36:55
What about you?
00:36:57
You're going to be real disappointed when I give you my overall score.
00:37:01
fucked up.
00:37:01
I gave it a three for fucked up.
00:37:04
Yeah.
00:37:05
The eye stuff.
00:37:07
The old people being hurt stuff really bothered me.
00:37:11
Yeah, the death rattle.
00:37:13
I hated.
00:37:15
The implied sex torture.
00:37:18
yeah.
00:37:19
The demonization of the elderly?
00:37:21
Yeah, that's fair.
00:37:22
The running over of the elderly with a truck.
00:37:25
We were just like all...
00:37:27
pretty fucked up.
00:37:27
You'd think I'd put the alligator kill here.
00:37:29
But no.
00:37:31
that went in to sexy.
00:37:32
Yeah.
00:37:32
Like Gators.
00:37:33
Overall, what did you think?
00:37:35
You want me to go first?
00:37:37
Okay.
00:37:38
I gave it a three.
00:37:41
This film had incredible acting and incredible cast, but Psycho biddy just
00:37:45
does not do it for me.
00:37:48
I didn't love Barbarian either for that same reason.
00:37:52
Like don't get me wrong.
00:37:52
I love a strong like murdery female character regardless of age, but what
00:37:59
makes Psycho biddy, Psycho biddy is essentially associating
00:38:04
aging with becoming ugly and evil.
00:38:08
That genre is kind of known for its history of exploiting actresses who are
00:38:14
vulnerable to ageism, which I think like obviously we avoided that in this movie
00:38:18
because we had a young actress portray the old actress.
00:38:24
But I still had just like a really hard time with the anti aging of it all.
00:38:29
Yeah, so anyway, all that said, there's also a few of my favorite kills that we've
00:38:35
ever seen in this movie.
00:38:37
A few really fun, like, cringey scenes, like scenes that make you go, A really
00:38:41
iconic scene with Jenna Ortega's scream.
00:38:45
And a great team behind it.
00:38:48
So I still gave it a three.
00:38:49
Yeah.
00:38:50
How about you?
00:38:52
I gave it four.
00:38:53
Wow.
00:38:54
I think this movie's a romp.
00:38:55
It's a lot of fun.
00:38:57
I understand where you're coming from with the psycho biddy movies.
00:39:00
That totally makes sense.
00:39:02
I guess I didn't really have as much of an issue.
00:39:04
And I think also, like, I've seen Pearl, so like I know the backstory, so like that
00:39:11
kind of helps in terms of like knowing that it wasn't so much about aging that
00:39:16
made her that way.
00:39:17
So I do have that context for this film
00:39:23
that you are missing.
00:39:26
But yeah, I think it was great acting.
00:39:29
It was like such a great homage to like 70s slashers and that kind of genre.
00:39:35
And it's just a lot of fun.
00:39:39
Great kills.
00:39:41
great kills.
00:39:42
It was really fun to watch.
00:39:43
Wait, why wouldn't I like your - your - because I didn't like the old woman
00:39:48
crawling into bed?
00:39:48
thing.
00:39:49
Like that was the point and I didn't like that as being the point.
00:39:52
I mean, in its defense, I wouldn't like a person of any age crawling into bed with
00:39:58
me.
00:40:00
exactly, exactly.
00:40:01
That's my point, exactly.
00:40:03
Yeah, but to play devil's advocate, that's just a creepy scenario.
00:40:09
It doesn't necessarily have to do with her age.
00:40:11
It shouldn't be implied that it's creepier because she's old.
00:40:16
But I don't think it was in the movie.
00:40:19
I think it was just creepy because someone crawled into bed with her.
00:40:22
Well, that's debatable.
00:40:25
I think they went a little out of their way to make her look ugly.
00:40:27
Yeah, the old age makeup was bad, but that was weird.
00:40:33
Yeah, I don't know if it made it worse that they put old age makeup on a younger
00:40:37
actor or if they would have hired an old actress.
00:40:41
I don't know.
00:40:42
I don't know, just something about like the implied ageism of it all just like
00:40:47
really rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.
00:40:51
I don't know.
00:40:52
Not to say that it's a bad movie.
00:40:54
That's fair.
00:40:55
Hey, if it bothered you, it bothered you.
00:40:57
Yeah, I ranked it as high as you ranked Arcadian.
00:40:59
Haha ha
00:41:03
Would you survive?
00:41:05
Hmm.
00:41:07
no.
00:41:08
Okay.
00:41:09
Because only Maxine did.
00:41:11
Yeah.
00:41:11
And I just built different.
00:41:17
She's built different.
00:41:18
I mean, so am I.
00:41:20
But not like that.
00:41:22
Yeah.
00:41:23
I'm built different.
00:41:25
I'm going first.
00:41:26
Yeah.
00:41:28
Yeah.
00:41:29
Yeah.
00:41:29
Yeah, I don't know.
00:41:30
After the discussion we just had, maybe I'm just jumping into the alligator pond
00:41:35
for fun.
00:41:37
yeah.
00:41:38
You know, could be a good time.
00:41:42
Honestly, it could be.
00:41:43
You don't know until you try.
00:41:45
You don't.
00:41:45
And would you survive?
00:41:48
Yeah, I don't think so.
00:41:50
I think I'd probably just be sleeping until they came and killed me.
00:41:55
I don't know, yeah.
00:41:56
why were they killing people?
00:41:58
probably wouldn't like have,
00:42:00
wouldn't have suspected them, you know.
00:42:03
Yeah, well, why were they killing people?
00:42:07
you know, Pearl.
00:42:09
Pearl's just being Pearl.
00:42:11
I guess I'll have to watch it.
00:42:14
No, I think it's just like the guy in the basement or whatever.
00:42:16
Like I think it's just kind of implied that she is a serial killer.
00:42:22
Yeah, she is.
00:42:24
She's a murderer.
00:42:25
Yeah, which by the way, I...
00:42:28
until much longer or much later after watching the movie, thought that the guy
00:42:33
in the basement was RJ.
00:42:34
It's a completely different guy.
00:42:36
different guy, yeah.
00:42:38
Yeah.
00:42:39
Makes a little bit more sense.
00:42:40
Yeah, no, she's just a serial killer.
00:42:43
Which I think is why he invited the guy, because the guy didn't tell him that he
00:42:47
was gonna have other people with him.
00:42:49
He didn't tell them that he was filming, so I think he accepted him to stay there
00:42:53
because it was getting another victim, but then it was just-
00:42:56
There were a lot more people that showed up with him.
00:43:00
That was my interpretation, I guess.
00:43:04
Yeah.
00:43:05
Well.
00:43:06
X.
00:43:06
Catch MaXXXine in theaters soon.
00:43:08
That's true.
00:43:09
MaXXXine comes out.
00:43:10
What day does MaXXXine come out?
00:43:12
I don't know, August something?
00:43:14
No, earlier, right?
00:43:17
July 3rd.
00:43:18
It comes out tomorrow!
00:43:21
Doesn't this release on the second?
00:43:25
Wait, is that true?
00:43:26
Yeah, this comes out, this episode is, this, yeah, MaXXXine comes out tomorrow!
00:43:31
Yay!
00:43:32
Wow, it's like we planned it.
00:43:33
Wow, I did, but.
00:43:35
did.
00:43:38
Well, everyone can go see MaXXXine tomorrow.
00:43:41
Cute.
00:43:41
Why isn't it releasing on a Wednesday?
00:43:43
What a weird day.
00:43:44
I got tickets to see it early from my Triple A24 membership.
00:43:50
Ooh, are you gonna go?
00:43:53
I'll be in Scotland.
00:43:55
I am in Scotland.
00:43:56
Right now.
00:43:57
in Scotland right now.
00:43:59
I wonder if I can send them to you.
00:44:02
You could go.
00:44:05
All right.
00:44:07
Do you want to present?
00:44:08
Nope, I'll start again.
00:44:09
All right.
00:44:10
Do you want to predict next week's movie?
00:44:16
All right.
00:44:17
We are watching both the original 1958 version and the 1986 version of The Fly.
00:44:27
Yeah.
00:44:28
The Fly.
00:44:30
Well, I think that they're both the same movie, but like remade, obviously.
00:44:34
So I'll just guess the plot of The Fly.
00:44:37
And for context, we're doing that movie because they just announced that they're
00:44:41
making another remake.
00:44:42
another remake of the fly.
00:44:45
So the fly is about a fly.
00:44:50
A giant murdering fly that sucks people into its proboscis.
00:44:57
and kills them.
00:44:58
What's a proboscis for everybody besides me?
00:45:01
Because obviously I know.
00:45:03
The little like mouth.
00:45:06
It's like the like straw mouth, you know?
00:45:10
Yeah.
00:45:11
Yeah.
00:45:12
Proboscis.
00:45:12
Don't you know what a proboscis monkey is?
00:45:14
No!
00:45:16
Look up a proboscis monkey so I can have your reaction live on stream.
00:45:19
Okay, proboscis monkey.
00:45:25
that's a penis.
00:45:27
Yeah, that's...
00:45:28
Interesting.
00:45:29
Okay.
00:45:31
I'm just taking it in.
00:45:34
Whoa Yikes
00:45:39
Well...
00:45:42
Okay, great.
00:45:43
It proboscis' people left and right.
00:45:46
it's just, you know, it's about this woman in, I think it's like New York City or
00:45:50
some shit.
00:45:51
And she's like walking to her friend's house or whatever and this giant fly comes
00:45:56
and tries to proboscis her.
00:46:00
And is unsuccessful.
00:46:03
She runs away and then it's her job to convince the town of people, New York
00:46:10
City, that there are giant murdering flies.
00:46:14
Yeah, there's more than one.
00:46:16
I mean, imagine how fast a fly reproduces.
00:46:21
There's probably a gazillion of them.
00:46:24
Yeah.
00:46:25
Okay.
00:46:26
And yeah, I mean definitely.
00:46:31
Yeah, well smaller.
00:46:32
it's smaller.
00:46:33
Okay, so it's a giant fly, but not that giant.
00:46:35
Yeah, it's like elephant sized.
00:46:40
Because like, you know, the trunk of an elephant and then the pervascis of the
00:46:44
fly.
00:46:46
Yeah.
00:46:47
You know, and then at the end,
00:46:50
I don't know.
00:46:51
I think that they probably, you know what they do?
00:46:55
They pesticide.
00:46:58
They pesticide everything.
00:47:01
And all the flies die.
00:47:04
Yeah, all the flies die, but plot twist, they also kill the atmosphere and then
00:47:09
they're burned up by the sun.
00:47:10
That's the end of the movie.
00:47:10
It's also a space movie.
00:47:11
It's also a space movie.
00:47:14
Wow, okay.
00:47:16
So they very forward thinking that in 1958 they were conscious about pesticides in
00:47:22
the ozone.
00:47:23
I mean there's always, well no, they weren't conscious about the ozone.
00:47:26
They didn't know.
00:47:27
Yeah, but in the movie they knew enough that that would cause that.
00:47:31
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:47:34
Yeah!
00:47:35
They did the pesticides to kill the...
00:47:37
wrote the movie, the writers of the movie.
00:47:41
Yeah.
00:47:43
Yeah, yeah.
00:47:46
No, I love it.
00:47:48
mean, global warming was happening then too, I'm sure of it.
00:47:50
Yeah, they just really know.
00:47:53
When did we find out about global warming?
00:47:55
Was it Al Gore?
00:47:55
I think it was like 90s.
00:47:58
Yeah.
00:48:00
At least like when the general public was made aware.
00:48:02
Well, that's a plothole.
00:48:03
It's fine, I love it.
00:48:06
Cool, I can't wait to watch it.
00:48:08
I have seen the 86 one.
00:48:11
I have actually never seen the 58.
00:48:13
Nice.
00:48:15
So maybe you nailed the 58 one, I don't know.
00:48:20
You did not nail the 86 one, no, no, no.
00:48:25
Too bad.
