Ep2: The Screaming Bride 👰

Anthony and John discuss and review Scream 7 and The Bride. 

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:00

What's going on, guys? I am the Black Sheep Anthony C. And I am the big John V from South Carolina all the way to Cali. This is a double feature, might I add. One take, real talk on the movies, the games, and the disappointing pop culture. I mean, I would say disappointing, but okay. So we'll get to that. Guys, so today, me and John, we're gonna talk about two movies we saw over this past weekend. And uh yeah, so this is a little touchy subject because one is a franchise that I love and one that John cares about. And another one is frankly fairly, fairly new.

SPEAKER_02 0:46

So without further ado, we're gonna real quick before we start, Anthony, you you want to pitch or give them the elevator pitch on how you were able to see these movies? Yeah, in a minute.

SPEAKER_01 0:57

But yay, so we're gonna talk about Screen 7 and we're gonna talk about The Bride. And the way that I got to watch these movies is because John is an A-list AMC member. And this is not a plug. Hey, AMC, if you want to sponsor, we'd be all over for that. And I've currently became an A-list AMC member. But if you guys aren't an AMC member, I highly recommend it. Especially for if you are an avid moviegoer like our, like we are, you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:31

But if we go once a week, it's it's worth the money.

SPEAKER_01 1:34

Yeah, it is. But yeah, what the but we're gonna jump into Scream first and then we'll work our way over to the ride because that's the order we saw these things, and Scream has been out for longer.

SPEAKER_02 1:44

So I'm gonna let you start because I know this is your baby here.

SPEAKER_01 1:48

So me and John, we we called each other after we saw both movies. Well, I don't think we called each other after. I think we did. We did. We called each other after we saw both movies. And what we do, we give a quick one-word and one sentence of how we feel about the movie. I don't know exactly what John don't like or Doug did like about these movies, and he doesn't know the same about me. But when I called John and I left the theater about Scream, I had one word. And what was that, John? Why. Exactly. So my word for Scream was why. So originally we were supposed to go see Scream Saturday, and I was like, you know what? I want to knock The Bride out. The Bride just seems like it'll be a better movie, had somewhat better reviews. Right now, I think Scream is in the 30 percentile of Rotten Tomatoes. And so I didn't have high hopes, even though I am a fan of this franchise. Literally my second favorite horror movie franchise. So going into this movie.

SPEAKER_02 2:53

It's 31% critic, it's 76% fan.

SPEAKER_01 2:57

That 76% is wrong. Guys, okay, so let's start with the positives here. And and we are gonna touch on spoilers here. So when we touch on spoilers, I will announce it. I will announce it. And Spotify and all these other apps are great with uh bookmarking where we're at in the story. So when we touch on spoilers later in our review, you can just skip on over to the bride and enjoy the hour. So but anyway, I thought this movie had the bones to be something special, but it just didn't, it just didn't do anything for me. I didn't care for any of the characters. I barely cared for Sydney. I didn't, I I still to this day don't care. I'm not gonna lie, that hurt the most. Yeah, I was like, Cindy Prescott, what do you mean I don't care about Cindy Prescott? And I I never I'd never been the biggest Gail fan, but coming off of six, Gail kind of won me over six, five and six, Gail kind of won me over a little bit. All right, but but yeah, man, this movie just I I will say this, and this is a positive, has some of the best kills in the franchise. Some of the best kills. Now I ain't saying it has the best kills, has some of the most creative best kills in the franchise, and it's probably one of the most goriest, if not the goriest movie in the franchise. But it feels like diet scream to me. Am I tripping?

SPEAKER_02 4:42

So I think my biggest issue with this movie is similar to what you're saying. It's not like zero sugar coke. It tastes like Coke, it just doesn't have the bad stuff. Yeah. This is like diet coke. It's still got the bad stuff, and it's not as good.

SPEAKER_01 5:01

Yeah, it is not as good. Yeah, it just like, dude, I'm gonna tell you, if you guys never seen the screen TV show on MTV, this felt like it's it was just a version of that, but with an R rating and more gorier. Like if it just felt cheesy. It did, it was not greatly executed. It, I mean, and to be fair, it's not even greatly shot. That's and that coming off of six, that hurt my feelings the most. This and four are gotta be the worst shot movies in the franchise. And I give four a hard time only because I've watched it once and didn't care for it. This this movie definitely is the bottom of the barrel. They're scraping grunt like crud off the bottom of the barrel, just throwing shit against the wall.

SPEAKER_02 5:55

And you know, I think my issue with this movie, like at its core, is everything has a butt at the end. Yeah. The kills are great, but they're covered in bad CGI.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

Yeah, but especially the one we'll touch on later. But go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 6:14

I was like, yeah, the characters are great, but they don't have any depth, or butt. I don't care about them.

SPEAKER_01 6:19

Yeah, and and then, like, all right, the great thing about the first screen movies is yeah, let's excuse Scream One, okay? You're going into Scream Two with legacy characters, but you can establish characters within a minute or two and make us actually like, hey, I like you ain't even gotta make us care about the character. You can make us care about the situation. You know? Just make us care about the situation then. Oh man, like you, you get like all right, with the whole beginning of screen two. Jada Pickett was left in the movie theater by herself to watch a scary movie, chaotic movie theater. If you grew up in the 90s, you know what it was like when a big movie dropped, and her boyfriend went to the bathroom. We've all been in those situations where we're with our significant other or friends or somebody just left us. And you're in the movie theater by yourself now, and damn, you're like, you know, if you didn't have that phobia, you got it now because you watch Scream 2. You're like, shit, I hope nobody sits next to me. Just off the strength of you hoping some random person don't sit next to you. Like when you pick your movie tickets on your app now, you literally leave a space between you and someone else that can sit next to you, correct? Oh, 100%, yeah. Exactly. So, I mean, just in that, like, we don't care about the characters, but we understand the situation that they're in. I couldn't relate to shit that none of these characters, like, none of these characters at all, like you couldn't, like, okay, I I relate to one character, and that's just because she was black, okay? That's it.

SPEAKER_02 8:02

Yeah, that's that's rough. That's real bottom of the barrel. We're talking real service over relations here. Exactly. And and like dude. And and I hate that because Scream has never been slasher.

SPEAKER_01 8:21

You're going out, John.

SPEAKER_02 8:24

Can you guys hear me a little better now?

SPEAKER_01 8:26

Yeah, go ahead and restate that whole thing over. Go ahead and restate it.

SPEAKER_02 8:28

Yeah, so what I was saying was what I said in my review was all these characters felt like slasher fluff. Like they felt like NPCs that are there to have cool death scenes. And that's never been screamed.

SPEAKER_01 8:44

No, it's never been screamed, dude.

SPEAKER_02 8:46

Like to go the extra mile with that. Look, I'm okay with you know bringing back certain characters or ideas, but if you're not gonna do anything with these, then don't put it in the series that's known for being medicine.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

And and not giving anything away. But I felt like Gail and the twins were here to have two cool moments. That's it. I don't think they had any good moments. No, I'm just saying, like just the two good moments outside of the house, one good moment outside of the house, and then the one moment that really didn't go anywhere inside of the bar. All right. Oh, yeah, okay. All right. And then yeah, man, that moment was cool. I did like that, though. Yeah, the moment where they, you know, I mean, outside of the house. That's all I'm gonna say until we get to the further end.

SPEAKER_02 9:34

But we'll bring up the spoilers, we'll get on.

SPEAKER_01 9:37

Yeah. But yeah, man, it's just, I don't know, man. It's just, I don't know. As a fan, like a fan boy, I if you guys heard our Mount Slash more, I took Ghostface and replaced Freddie and Jason. Okay, two horror icons, because this franchise was so solid. Even if you didn't like John doesn't like three, I don't like four, but I'm not gonna sit there and say that they're terrible movies. They're great fun horror movies. There's no fun to be had in this movie.

SPEAKER_02 10:17

Like, harsh in the fact that I've always said if Scream Three is the worst movie in your slasher, specifically slasher for anybody.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Scream four. Scream four, but go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 10:31

We'll do whichever one you feel, right? You're doing all right, you're doing fine. This felt like a bad slasher movie.

SPEAKER_01 10:39

Yeah, it did.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

I was like, what? No, it can't be true.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

It was true, and and I'm gonna say something that a lot that needs to be said and political shit aside, right? Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera were sadly missed here, like like crazily missed here. And Jenna, and this says something because I like Jenna Ortega, she does absolutely shit in the screen movie, she's just there.

SPEAKER_02 11:17

Like, brother, you're preaching to the choir here because this felt like not only is it weird to me that they're not in this movie, which for you know, people who don't know, if you want to know, go look it up why they're not here.

SPEAKER_01 11:33

Yeah, it's strictly political. It's very political. It is, it's stupid, and we're not gonna. And we yeah, we don't do politics here, so but uh, but yeah. But but go ahead, John.

SPEAKER_02 11:45

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But just to like, okay, you've planned this trilogy, you've got this, okay, we're gonna riff legacy movies because that's what this whole trilogy has be been, right?

SPEAKER_01 11:57

Like, we're gonna rift on legacy movies. Yeah, they even mentioned Jamie Lee Curtis and you know, I mean, all this other stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:04

Yeah, mention how Nev Campbell's a screen queen and all that stuff. But my biggest issue with this movie, like outside of everything having a butt, is it doesn't have anything to rift. Like, there's nothing new it's trying to say. There's nothing it's rifting, it's just let's off reboot the first screen, the worst.

SPEAKER_01 12:25

Yeah, it just and it's like and then makes it a little bit of terrifier, you know. Like let's let's they they literally this this is no substance, like no style, no substance. It just like dude, it's just it's like I do not no horror, yeah, like nothing, bro. And a sloppy conclusion, sloppy, like everything, man. Everything just felt sloppy, bro. Like everything felt sloppy.

SPEAKER_02 12:56

This is a mild spoiler, like before we get into like the full spoiler. How are you gonna put glitter on ghost face?

SPEAKER_01 13:05

There was glitter on ghost face?

SPEAKER_02 13:07

Do you didn't notice there was glitter on ghost face?

SPEAKER_01 13:10

What you mean?

SPEAKER_02 13:11

There was glitter.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

Well, so with when the other No, I'm saying, like, what what had glitter on it is all you need to tell. It's his suit, his black suit. Yeah, they I mean the suit normally has like a shimmer to it.

SPEAKER_02 13:28

This felt real pronounced, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

I mean, in in certain iterations, his the the gown does have a little shimmer to it. So I mean, that's why I guess I didn't pay attention to it. I because I can't remember exactly what scream it was, but I'm pretty sure it's like the earlier, earlier trilogy that he there's like a shimmer to the gown that he wears. And I can't remember if it's two or three, or you know what I'm saying? I can't remember exactly which one, but there's a shimmer to the gown.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

Okay, all right. Well, I'll I'll leave my words. I thought I was tripping.

SPEAKER_01 14:02

Yeah. I mean, no, no, but it's something if you're not like an adamant screen watcher, you wouldn't notice it. You know what I'm saying? Nah, I've never noticed it until this movie, so that threw me off for a loop. And see, I didn't even notice it. You know, you get what I'm saying? Like, I didn't even notice it.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

Yeah, that's right, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 14:19

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:19

We you are the screen guy.

SPEAKER_01 14:21

Yeah, like I didn't even notice it.

SPEAKER_02 14:24

But uh, you know, like do you want to start getting into spoilers since we're moving?

SPEAKER_01 14:29

I mean, we can we we if we can hard we can give a we gotta give our scores first. So we're gonna give our scores first. But but yeah, man, I mean, for Nev Campbell to be gone for a whole movie, and for her to come back like people wanted, and nobody cares. You get what I'm saying? Like nothing, it felt like nothing mattered.

SPEAKER_02 14:53

That that's because I don't like her daughter, I don't like her daughter's boyfriend, I don't like any of her friends.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

Nah, I mean, like, nobody, like, okay, you, and then like there's a death, and and this is the the coolest thing about this movie, and I'm and I'm I'm just gonna be real with you, is the opening scene.

SPEAKER_02 15:12

Yeah, and even then, like, that's got the caveats.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

It's like I know, but I'm just saying, this is just the cool, that's the coolest thing about this movie. That's the most tension, honestly. Like, that scream tension that they're known for, that scream to some people is anxiety, it's anxiety-ducing. But that's the only scene. That whole five to I think like five to ten minutes, maybe, is the only scene that has the first movie. Yeah, that that's the only scene that has any real tension, guys.

SPEAKER_02 15:46

And then again, same thing. It's got the caveat with bad CGI.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

I mean, I can't call it bad CI. I think I think that whole first one was like more practical than anything. Well, I'm talking about uh when uh when something happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What what's what did it come in there? But um, but John, what did you give this movie?

SPEAKER_02 16:08

So for Scream, and this is like I was trying to be fair, right? Because I haven't seen Six. You have.

SPEAKER_01 16:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:15

Um and if I'm judging this as a Scream movie, right? So like scream by Scream, this is a step down, it's not as good, and it certainly doesn't have the strength that the other films do. Now, is it the worst Lasher movie I've ever seen? No.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

Isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 16:36

He's about to say he's about to say gotta go.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

He said terrifier exists.

SPEAKER_02 16:41

Yeah, yeah, terrifier don't exist.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

John hates terrifier.

SPEAKER_02 16:45

I hate those movies, bro. Those movies are so tasteless.

SPEAKER_01 16:48

But you say you gave it a what?

SPEAKER_02 16:49

I'm gonna I'm gonna go for it.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

Okay. I and honestly, I gave it about the same. I came out this movie and it's just like, why? I don't think it's the worst thing I've ever seen. I think there's they had potential. I know there's a better script out there for this movie somewhere. Usually is. I can't even say, you know, as a fan of this franchise, I was very let down. I gave it a four and a half. And the only reason I gave it a four and a half is because I did enjoy some of the kills. I ain't gonna say I I enjoyed majority of the kills. You get what I'm saying? I I I thought, except for like one or two, I'm gonna say that.

SPEAKER_02 17:36

You know what? I am gonna say this though. Still, if this is the worst movie in your slasher franchise.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

Yeah. I've seen, I've seen worse from from the OGs. I've seen worse from Leatherface, seen worse from Jason, seen worse from Michael Myers, seen worse from Freddie. Uh hell, I've seen I've seen worse from my favorite. I've seen worse from Chucky. You know what I'm saying? This isn't, this is, now guys, this isn't C to Chucky. You get what I'm saying? This isn't C to Chucky bad. You know what I'm saying? This is this isn't Jason, this isn't Jason takes Manhattan bad. You get what I'm saying? This isn't fucking Nightmare on M Street. Which one was right before New Nightmare?

SPEAKER_02 18:16

Oh, oh, we don't need to talk about Freddy's Dead.

SPEAKER_01 18:19

Yeah, Freddy's Dead. Well, I I honestly I don't hate Freddy's Dead. I ain't even gonna lie to you. I think Freddy's Dead is cheesy. But I would put this on the par with Freddy's Dead. I'd I'd because I if you asked me what I would give Freddy's Dead, I'd give it a five. So this is like right there with I enjoyed Freddy's Dead more than I enjoyed this one.

SPEAKER_02 18:42

Yeah, I have this over Freddy's Dead, but obviously like where we differ in.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

Yeah, you but you're more of a Freddy person than I am. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 18:52

Yeah, I was saying I'm a bigger Freddie game.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

Yeah, I mean, still, but anyway, got yeah, four and a half from me or from John, do do with that information if you will. If you must watch this movie, right? I would say wait till you can catch it on Paramount Plus. Don't pay for it. If I paid my money to see this movie, I'd be a little upset. You get what I'm saying? I'd be a little more upset. So we probably would end up with a John. If you had to pay for it, would this movie not get a three? Oh, yeah. No, 100%. Like, dead serious. And this is with us using like the AMC A-list pass. Got our tickets for free. Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, that was bad. Yeah, I gave it a four and a half. But if I paid 10 bucks or more for this movie, I'd be pissed. It'd be a two and a half, three. I'd be pissed. I ain't gonna lie, I'd be hot. But, guys, this is the point in the show where I gotta let you know, we are about to go into spoiler territory for the next like 15 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 19:59

So I'm gonna give you a countdown.

SPEAKER_01 20:01

Hold on, hold on. So at this point right here, feel free to skip along to the beginning of the bride. I will make sure that I notify some point in the book markings or whatever that, hey, this is where the bride review begins. But with that being said, John, give us a three countdown. Three, two, one. You have been warned. So, John, touching in total spoilers now. Who's your least favorite character?

SPEAKER_02 20:37

Oh man, dude, they all fucking sucks. I'm not gonna lie, her daughter sucks.

SPEAKER_01 20:42

Yeah, dude. I hated the daughter. Listen, what's crazy? I had hopes for the daughter because she was in 1883 and she killed it. But you want me to buy a 25-year-old as a 17-year-old? I do not believe that shit. Okay. Sorry. And her friends felt more. Did this feel like very Wednesday? Oh no, you ain't never watched Wesley. This felt very Wednesday heavy, dude. The kid, the little creepy kid, you know what I'm saying? He was in Wednesday.

SPEAKER_02 21:14

I've seen a little bit, so I do know what you're talking about. And like, it's not like her performance is bad, but every time she gets angry, I'm like, what is your problem? Like, why is this the way you're acting? Like, maybe you know, I could understand if she uh like if Nev Campbell like didn't have the past she had, but like, bro, you're telling me that she's never communicated the stories or the mystery?

SPEAKER_01 21:51

Like I mean, here's the thing when your mom's life is that well documented, why would you need her to? You get what I'm saying? When your mom, your mom literally has movies, documentaries. We're talking in this universe, right? Your mom has movies. To our knowledge, right? We're in the seventh movie. So that means there's six stab movies out there. You got, I don't know how many Gail Weather books you can read. Your mom published a book. And you got damn how many documentaries? True. How many it is? We know with the world we live in how many documentaries they would be, right?

SPEAKER_02 22:33

Yeah, bro. Or even like, yo, we know, like, what, you know, what documentaries they're gonna be, or what, or whatever you want to say, right? But who wants to relive the trauma across the street who's literally trying to think a podcast about your mom.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

Exactly. You you're you're friends with someone who's obsessed with with your mom. Like, come on, bro. Come on. Let's let's keep it real. But uh off that note, I'm gonna give you my biggest gripe about this movie. You want it? Go for it.

SPEAKER_02 23:10

That's what I'm here for.

SPEAKER_01 23:11

The fucking killers, bro. The the in their fucking like, dude, I could get the killer, like, dude, every killer has great motivation. These gotta be the worst fucking motivational killers ever. And they telegraph who the killers are.

SPEAKER_02 23:27

Oh, it's so bad, dude. It's so bad, bro. Okay, so I'm not even gonna lie, Anthony. The killer, and I should have known the second I saw her. I forgot that, and this is again one last warning before I say it right now.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

Hold on, hold on. Rewind, rewind. You went out for a second. What'd you say?

SPEAKER_02 23:50

I said what one last spoiler warning before I say it. Here we go. Ain't no spoiler warning. This is so spoilers, dude. Go ahead. The fact that the mom is the killer, and I forgot she was in the movie until the moment I saw her.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

And I was like, Well, John, I think that that says more about your tension span. Dude, I was like, I mean, what dude? I knew it. Listen, I'm gonna tell you like this. One, I knew it was the creepy dude, Carl. Because why'd you just stick this peepy ass nigga in here for what? You know what I'm saying? Two, I knew it was the mom, the second Sidney, like we have no history of Sydney with this girl. And then she called her Sid.

SPEAKER_02 24:43

Yeah. Like, who are you?

SPEAKER_01 24:45

Yeah, like she called her Sid, like they're just, you know what I'm saying? Like that, right? And then I knew it was damn knockoff of I knew it was that every time I see him, I think he's fucking Rusty, Rusty Griswold from fucking from damn Lational Lampoons Vacation. Because he played Rusty in damn National Lampoons Vegas Vacation. But anyway, I knew it was him. He's like, oh, that's John. John, yeah, John Doe. Like, what the fuck? Get the fuck out of here, bro. Get out of here.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

How are you gonna know? Because clearly, like, you know, he's in the movie, right? Yeah. Like, I guess, okay, we can finally say the whole tagline of this movie is what if Stu Marker is still alive?

SPEAKER_01 25:33

Yeah, we saw, yeah, that's like not like we didn't see his head get crushed by a fucking 200-pound fucking 1999 fucking Xenith TV that would squish him, man. Get the fuck out of here. And then blew up on him, like literally.

SPEAKER_02 25:49

And smash me off.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

Smash his face, electrocute him, and blew up.

SPEAKER_02 25:55

Like, what throws me off even more though is like Scream has always remained. Sorry. I'm sorry about that. Relatively grounded, like to some degree, has been, you know, somewhat grounded. Bro, there is no actual possible way you thought that bringing Stu back was going to be a good idea, and you thought people were gonna be interested in it because it was a gimmick.

SPEAKER_01 26:28

That's all it was.

SPEAKER_02 26:30

Yeah, but no one wants that.

SPEAKER_01 26:33

I mean, dude, everybody, I guess because they brought Billy back somewhat. Now they want, you know what I mean? They wanted to, you know, feel fueling. Yeah, they were trying to link it. Yeah. But all right, so talking about the CGI, I think the the damn the bar tap scene was fucking horrible. Like it was a dope kill until the fucking fluid, like yeah, why the fuck do you feel the need to put CGI beer coming out of his mouth? You think we think you think we're too dumb to know that's a bar tap?

SPEAKER_02 27:16

I I'm not even gonna lie, that's not even the CGI death that made me the most angry.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

Which one was the one that pissed you off?

SPEAKER_02 27:24

Mine was the uh the stage one.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:30

Yeah, bro. I was like, dude, I was so fine with it.

SPEAKER_01 27:33

Dude, you know what it reminded me of? You know what it reminded me of? Sci-fi movie? No, fucking red man from Bride of Chucky.

SPEAKER_02 27:42

Oh, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 27:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:45

That's awful, bro. Dude, it was so bad. I was like, what is it?

SPEAKER_01 27:50

Well, I said, listen, the first kill, I was like, this shit is terrifier. I thought, I ain't gonna lie, I thought at one at the beginning, with the whole, I'm telling you, the opening scene is the best scene in this whole movie. Like, with the doll and the howls and the phone calls, like it was that was the peak of this movie. That's sad to say.

SPEAKER_02 28:12

Very unfortunate. Because like I was enjoying, like, I think everything in this movie just has a butt at the end of it. And I forget that dude's name, the guy who plays the boyfriend at the start of the movie.

SPEAKER_01 28:25

Yeah, I forgot.

SPEAKER_02 28:26

I've seen him in a million things.

SPEAKER_01 28:27

Yeah, he is a bunch of shit. But I mean, like, dude, the opening scene was dope. I thought the open scene was great. Like, Scream does have some of the best opening scenes in core cinema. I don't think there's a bad one. I gotta go back to maybe four. I say maybe four. I don't know. But yeah, man, no, I think like, dude, but coming off of I can't wait for you to say six. And you've been like, dude, yeah, major down. Like, for real. I got six, I got six at number three. I got six at like number three, bro. I ain't gonna lie to you.

SPEAKER_02 28:57

And then one and two or one and one, right?

SPEAKER_01 29:00

Yeah. It's one, two, six. Then I'll go three, five, four, and this.

SPEAKER_02 29:11

Yeah, ours are pretty close. I just have I have three where he has four.

SPEAKER_01 29:17

Yeah. But yeah, man, like, dude, I didn't care. Listen, man, the husband was the biggest hero. Dude, the the husband was the biggest hero, and then still getting his ass pulled. That's I just don't understand. So how did he survive? That's what I wanted the when this, hey, when that I screamed out in my theater, I said, This motherfucker's still alive? Like, what the fuck? How? Like, I was like, I gotta be tripping, right? I thought I was crazy. Because I was like, oh, okay, but he was dead. Yeah, he's dead. And then they brought the summit to him, like, how the fuck is he still alive? Like, what the fuck? Like, I need I need answers, bro. And then talk about the cheesy fucking key. Oh my god, bro. The cheesy ending, bro. I literally, like, bro, dude, the cheesy ass ending where they knock old girl off, right? I'm Sydney's Prescott's daughter. Like, what the fuck, bitch? What the fuck do I gotta do with anything? Yeah, also, like, you've been incompetent this whole time. Whole fucking time. Whole fucking time you're trash. Now you want to be fucking helpful, bitch. And look, you could, they could have gave us a great Sydney ending. Daughter taking care of the husband, you know, chef's kiss, right? No. Not even gonna lie to you. I don't think Cindy's daughter needs to be in this movie. No, there's no purpose. She serves no purpose outside of having friends that be killed. And we, and then, and then you could have just killed her. I ain't gonna lie to you. You could have pulled a fucking Halloween, uh, a 2020, I mean 2018. Ain't it the one where Lori's daughter died? No, no, no, it's Halloween Kills. Halloween Kills. Yeah. So Halloween Kills, you could have pulled a Halloween kills and just killed a daughter. I ain't gonna lie to you. We wouldn't have cared. It would have given us more motivation for Sydney. I ain't gonna lie to you.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

Yeah, bro. Like, I'm just not invested in her kids, bro. Like, I don't fucking care.

SPEAKER_01 31:12

Yeah, no, nobody gives a damn. But let's let's let's wrap let's wrap it up, dude. Let's wrap this up. But yeah, dude, this I don't really give a damn. It's like four, bro. I don't care if I see it again. I ain't gonna lie to you. I'll re-watch four before I watch this one again.

SPEAKER_02 31:28

This was almost as bad as the McDonald's CEO tasting his own burger.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

This is the equivalent of the McDonald's CEO tasting his own burger. Yeah. Yeah, dude. I walked out with like two minutes left in this movie. Like, I watched the rest of this movie in the fucking hallway, bro. I'm just like, I gotta go. There's a bunch of nothing left. But yeah. But yeah, man, this is not it. Alright, on to the second movie of the weekend, The Bride.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

Alright, well, I think I'll take the reigns on this one since you started Scream.

SPEAKER_01 32:06

Alright, that's fine.

SPEAKER_02 32:08

I mean, yeah, go ahead. Man, this movie, so and similar, so me and Anthony have a little more of an idea of how we felt about this compared to the uh scream one.

SPEAKER_01 32:23

I think Scream was a little more, we were on the same page. I think this one hit a little different provocate, but stuff.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

So this was a I think the best way I can explain this movie is it's the most disappointing masterpiece I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

I can't I'm gonna say this. I can't say it's I feel like there could have been more. Honestly, I feel like there could have been more in this movie. I had fun with it. Like it was beautifully shot. Honestly, this was one of my front runners for Oscars next year. And I just based off, you know, I mean, everything that I've heard. I thought I had this in the Odyssey. I mean, of course, this is gonna, you know, lose to the Odyssey, I believe. I mean, without seeing the movie. I think Odyssey is a win. Yeah, that's a but without seeing the movie. You get what I'm saying? Like, but I had this as a you know, female Oscar nomination, Chris Christian Bell nominated for an Oscar. I think possibly could still happen, but I don't know, man. But for me, I don't I I enjoyed this movie a little bit. I had fun with it. I just wish the chaos was more structured. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 33:43

Okay. You want to elaborate?

SPEAKER_01 33:45

I'm gonna I'll elaborate more in the I'll dig deeper in the spoiler version. No spoilers. Yeah, but but right now I think I get what you're saying, but like if it's spoilers. Okay, where I feel like this movie suffers from an identity crisis. Where I want to watch The Bride and Frankenstein, I really don't care about these two detectives.

SPEAKER_02 34:13

I okay, so my thing was like this felt like Joker Fuller de Flu, Folia de Fu Bonnie and Clyde, and Bride of Frankenstein had a weird baby. And this is that baby because so much of the movie, it felt like it was not a hundred percent on what it was trying to be. And while that's maybe not innately bad that it's doing different things, it commit, it doesn't ever commit to one theme, it doesn't ever commit to like one genre.

SPEAKER_01 34:52

I mean, I think that's that that's the bag that of words that is this movie. I think this movie is this, and once you get once you see this movie, you know how chaotic the bride herself is. I think this movie is an embodiment of her basically, you don't say, as a movie. Like one minute you got this, next minute you got that. You know, so so guys, this isn't a spoiler. So she is possessed by what's the woman's name that wrote practically. Mary Shelley herself. Yeah, Mary Shelley herself. So she goes back and forth with the whole Mary Shelley and Ida or Tinney or whatever name she goes by, her name, you know what I'm saying, in the in this in this movie. And and let's let's just keep it real. Lawlessly bounces back and forth between both characters.

SPEAKER_02 35:47

Oh, yeah, dude. I'm I'm not gonna lie. That so for anyone who doesn't know, this movie stars Christian Bale, and it also stars oh, I just had her name, Jesse Buckley. Jesse Buckley, yeah, and Jesse Buckley slaughters this role. It is so unbelievably good.

SPEAKER_01 36:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:13

Like the little take she does, the the vernacular she uses, the cadence she speaks with.

SPEAKER_01 36:20

Yeah, when this movie catches when this movie catches on, I said it, I said it at the end of the movie. And when this movie catches on, this is gonna be the number one Halloween costume out there. It's gonna be the bride. You're gonna see a lot of the bride.

SPEAKER_02 36:37

You're gonna see a lot of her this week, this year for Halloween So, all right, and obviously this is this is not a spoiler. Who do you think delivered better?

SPEAKER_01 36:50

Jessie Buckley? I think, okay, so here's my thing. I think she delivered better because she had more time to execute. You get what I'm saying? But Christian Bell is no slouch in this movie. I think he he took the assignment, he knocks it out of the park. He plays a vulnerable Frankie. He plays a he plays a because you gotta think, he's he's somebody who's been hiding in the dark for hundreds of years. And and and now he meets this girl, and she's breaking him out of his shell. And now he's more in the public eye than ever, and he's adjusting because he wants her to love him. And I mean, honestly, I think it's a beautiful story. Could have been executed just a little bit better, you know, just a little bit better.

SPEAKER_02 37:45

And I like I do think so their relationship is both extremely well actualized and very, very undercooked.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

And I mean, but what more, but what do you what do you what more do you expect from two dead people? You know, one just got reanimated and reprogrammed to believing she's this person and having a exactly like see this is this is what I said about this movie. This movie requires more than just one watch to judge it. Totally. I'm gonna say that.

SPEAKER_02 38:26

You know, I do agree with that. I think I need a true rewatch.

SPEAKER_01 38:32

Yeah, and and I wanna see, I wanna, I'm gonna watch it when it comes back, when it comes on HBO Max or whatever it is, since HBO got acquired by Paramount by the time it hits, you know, streaming. I this is a movie I wouldn't mind revisiting, bro. Like, and it's it and like like like I said about Scream earlier, Scream is the one movie I don't want to touch again. This is in a sense, I don't mind re-watching this movie. I had I think this is a good love story that it's a complex love story of that. And because she's not just okay being the bride of Frankenstein just because you said so. You know, just because you're the only you're the only dead person reanimated doesn't make me want to be your your bride. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's fair. And and let's just talk, man, like honestly, this is probably John's gonna be like, what? I'm gonna be real with you. This is probably one of the most beautiful movies I've seen since centers. What? Yeah, I think cinema cinematography wise, costume design-wise, and oh, okay, okay, okay. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I said beautiful movie that I've seen, like shot. You know what I'm saying? Not I ain't on the level of centers, don't get me wrong. But I think far as cinematography, I think style to to immerse you into the world that it is, I think this is by far one of the most beautiful movies out there.

SPEAKER_02 40:10

Yeah, that's that I agree with. Because I think, okay, unlike Scream, not everything in this movie ends with a butt. Yeah. But I do think everything in this movie could use a little more room to breathe, especially considering it's already two hours long.

SPEAKER_01 40:30

Yeah, and see, I feel like this movie needs a little more detailing. Like, that's the only thing this movie suffers from. There's a there's a lot of whys here. Like, why did this happen? Or what happened here, and how long this happened. You know what I'm saying? I think this movie suffers from, I know there's a director's edition. And the director's cut is probably because Noorn Warner Brothers, right? This movie's two hours, right? Knowing Warner Brothers, there's probably another 30, 40 minutes of movie on the cut move floor that we've seen it with Batman versus Superman. You know, even though Batman vs. Superman isn't a highly regarded movie, if you watch the director's cut, it makes that movie way much better.

SPEAKER_02 41:18

It's not even close, by the way. Like the director's cut of that movie and the theatrical cut are not the same movie.

SPEAKER_01 41:23

Yeah, it's not. It's not. And that's and I mean, hell, another Warner Brothers movie. Look at look at one of your all-time favorites. Damn shit. Blade Runner. Yeah, look at Blade Runner. Yeah, dude. That's I mean, but this is a track that I feel like Maggie Gyllenhaal went to them with a three-hour movie, and they said, Maggie, you gotta cut it shorter. And I'm I'm I mean, and she cut it down to two hours and a half, and it's gotta be a little bit more shorter. So there's a lot of detail here because I see a lot of plot points. I see a lot of plot points, and we'll get into those here in a minute. That they left out, I mean, not leave out. You you could tell there's a lot of things that she wanted to run with, but didn't have the time to put it in. You get what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 42:12

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. There was a lot that I got introduced to that you could tell was either like getting cooked or like, you know, they had just put it in the oven and then they take it out as soon as they put it in.

SPEAKER_01 42:28

Yeah, and I feel like this movie could benefit from 15 to 30 minutes of extra film. And I think this movie had a two-hour and 30-minute runtime. Because I'm gonna be real with you, I wasn't bored at all in this movie. That's just my take from this. Like, I was more bored in the horror movie than I, you know what I'm saying, than I was in this movie. This movie had my interest from the word go. Now, just because I'm interested and wasn't bored doesn't take away from the fact that there's a lot of holes here. You know? There's a lot of questions I need to ask that I need to answer. So, but yeah, man, I mean, I feel like this is like by far a beautiful movie. Real beautiful. Do you want that to be our segue into spoilers? Not uh, I mean, we gotta, dude, what is up with you wanting a spoiler shit? We ain't gave a ranking yet. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the way you said that, I was like, oh, okay, I'm gonna like segue into our scores and spoilers. No, man, we gotta give our ranking, man, for the people who probably want to end the video right here in the podcast right now. Like, but before we get there, we gotta give a synopsis and we gotta give a before we touch anything spoiler related. So we gotta give a synopsis and we gotta give, you know, a a a ranking. So, John, what is your synopsis and what is your ranking? What is give Your overall takeaway to give us your ranking.

SPEAKER_02 44:05

So I think if I'm just gonna, you know, keep this as simple as I can. This is a okay movie stuck in the you know potential of a great movie because I think it's similar to what you're saying, it needs more breathing room, it's not awful. Like there's the makings of something really good here. It just missing something, it needed a little more umph in the right direction, but it is well made and gorgeously shot. So for that, I'm gonna go six. Like, I think this is just a clean six out of ten.

SPEAKER_01 44:49

Okay. And this is where we differ a little bit. Because I think it's a good movie. I just feel like it had the potential to be a great one. You know, I think this is a this is a good movie, and if you take it for face value and just immerse yourself into the chaoticness that it is, I don't, I mean, and you gotta ignore a few little holes here or there. I think this is a good movie, has some strong bones that need a little bit more meat on. That's it. And like I said, I really hope there's a director's cut that we get a director's cut. And when we do, I'll be there to be one of the first people to watch it. Beautifully shot, beautifully acted. Nobody here misses St. Mart except for Penelope Cruz. And that's just because I don't like Penelope Cruz. I don't think she can act. I don't think she can act, okay? But I think she did better here than anywhere else, you know, that I've seen her in outside of Blow. And and her role in Blow is just dumb Colombian, aggravated wife. And I think that's easier for anybody to connect. But uh but I think nobody misses a beat here. I love the Jake Gyllenhaal uh obsession. I love the connection that is made here. I I love the chemistry that these two get off the bat, feeding off each other. Like I said, dude, this is a great date night movie. John just didn't have a date to it. And I feel like this is a great movie that, you know, that will become a cult classic, regardless if we get a director's cut now or later. I give it a seven, dude. I give it a solid seven.

SPEAKER_02 46:44

I think we're, you know, okay, so like I don't think we're super far off. No, we're not.

SPEAKER_01 46:49

I mean we're six and seven are like six and seven are right there. Yeah, we're six and seven are right there next to each other. You said we weren't far off, yeah. Not too far off.

SPEAKER_02 46:59

Oh, I think you just had like aspects you enjoyed more aspects I just liked more. Yeah. Um, but I'm gonna give you guys your your countdown. Here we go.

SPEAKER_01 47:13

Just so we get the bookmark, guys. If you don't know what he's counting down by now, we're about to we're going into spoilers for the bride. And if you end your journey here, we appreciate you guys for tuning in. And if you're not, come on down into this rabbit hole with us. Now count off, John, to our spoiler warning.

SPEAKER_02 47:38

Three, two, and one. Spoilers are here now.

SPEAKER_00 47:46

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 47:48

Go ahead, John. So you know, I am gonna start with this. I you know, I really love the the love for cinema this movie had. Like, you can tell that this was made by someone who loved movies, yeah. And I think that's always something I love to see in any type of film. But what consistently, like, I'm looking at, I'm looking at, I'm looking at, I'm like, I'm like, ah didn't love that. Like this, don't love that.

SPEAKER_01 48:23

Okay, what did you love?

SPEAKER_02 48:27

Oh, yeah, I'm I'm getting cool, I'm getting good, I'm building up, man. I'm building dog excuse me. But I just I I felt like everything was just cut so short. So, for example, guys, are the it towards the end of the movie, basically he figures out that Ida, who is the bride slash Frankenstein, it's crazy. That's not a spoiler. Because that's revealed in the first 20 minutes of the movie. But Ida figures out her identity, like learns her real truth, and they start like arguing and breaking up, and then they're just over it, and like five minutes, I was like, oh well, that falling out felt kind of pointless.

SPEAKER_01 49:24

Well, if you ever dealt with somebody with schizophrenia, yeah, it's kind of like that.

SPEAKER_02 49:29

Well, she didn't she is schizophrenic, obviously.

SPEAKER_01 49:32

Yeah, that's what I said. So, like this movie, see, if you look on it, if you if you go into this thing and it, this is this is the thing. If you go into it expecting it just a straight romance novel type thing, this this is supposed to be a chaotic, unstable, tox-tick relationship.

SPEAKER_02 49:50

Because he's trying to-yeah, the whole time, bro.

SPEAKER_01 49:57

It's nothing but built, it's a relationship built off of lies. You get what I'm saying? So, and and then you got her who's mentally unstable, who's dealing with who one, she don't know who she is, and then two, she's dealing with a being possessed. Like that's crazy as hell already, you know. And then he just wants to feed this hunger of be not being lonely, you know?

SPEAKER_02 50:27

Now, so that I did really like that, like the actual reason, and obviously, this is you know unanimous among all versions of this story. I do really like, you know, him being like, you know, this is just about me not being alone, man. I just don't want to be alone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:49

And I don't want to so, so like the things that I felt like this thing had holes in it was you you built this whole Joker thing for her where she gained a following. I mean, just like Bonnie and Clyde did when he did a bunch of crazy stuff, they gained a following. But they didn't do anything with it. You know, like the I would love to see these women committing crimes because they mentioned that there's a lot of crimes being committed, and they pinned them all on her. Not the people that did them, they pinned them all on her. We didn't only, we all we saw was a bunch of women running through the streets, humping on cars and shit. We didn't see any crimes being committed. I would love to see a few. I would love to see a few robberies, a few murders, and a few women beating up a couple guys, you know, and you know what I mean? That gives me some some stuff to run with. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 51:41

Did you see the uh the short post-credit scheme or like the mid-credit scene? Okay, yeah. Because other than them, like, you know, cutting.

SPEAKER_01 51:50

Yeah, you mean like the montage and shit, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:53

Yeah, yeah. But very much more. More of a montage.

SPEAKER_01 51:55

Yeah, it's more of a montage. Yeah. We yeah, we watched it. But uh, but like, man, it's just like I said, I had fun with this movie. I wasn't bored at all. I didn't, I wasn't looking at my watch, like, damn, man, how much longer this movie got. I feel like you could have put some more blocks there for, you know, for the relationship to be a little more stable. I love the drive-in thing scene. The driving scene where he gets shot in the head. I love that scene. Like, because then for a second, like, because you know how sure she was, right? In her head, like, I'm just a bride. You know what I'm saying? And but then to know that you're alone and to feel a fraction of the loneliness that Frank felt. You get what I'm saying? A fraction of what this man felt.

SPEAKER_02 52:47

She felt for so short, too. Like, you know.

SPEAKER_01 52:51

But like, you know, she felt the fraction of loneliness just to want him back. You know, I I mean, I hope we get a director's cut. I hope we get a sequel. I love, I, I like this movie, dude. I ain't even gonna lie. I thought, going off of everything I seen, like the reviewers I watched, the the I was like, man, I said, I don't know if this movie's gonna be good. And I don't know where I'm gonna end up on the fence here. I I think this movie is a solid seven. Want to give it a 7.5 just because of the style. I ain't even gonna lie to you. Like, just because beautiful it was.

SPEAKER_02 53:28

See, that that was the thing for me. I love like the production side of this movie. It looks great, it sounds great, the acting is great.

SPEAKER_01 53:41

So, question, dog, did you have like a highlight scene? I mean, my highlight scene, dude, two of them. I got two of them. And they both came from Frank. So I like the scene Fresh Out the Club where the first murder happens, where he stomps old buddy head, he, Edward Norton's this son, bitch. Dude. Yeah, okay, okay. That was a great scene. And then, and then the second, there's so many good scenes. And the second scene is the them getting pulled over. Broad daylight, and she's trying to lie her way out of it, and the cop's not buying it, then he fills her up, kinda, and then Frank pops him in the head.

SPEAKER_02 54:20

Okay. Oh, that was that was a good scene.

SPEAKER_01 54:23

Yeah, and then any movie theater scene. I thought the movie theater scenes looked very good.

SPEAKER_02 54:30

It's so fun, bro. And again, you know, like you can feel the love for cinema there.

SPEAKER_01 54:34

Like, so what about you?

SPEAKER_02 54:38

So for me, I love the dance number when they're getting hunted down. Yeah. No, oh, like that go ahead, go ahead.

SPEAKER_01 54:46

No, no, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 54:48

Oh, I was like, man, that scene just felt so cathartic, and it felt good for Frank, too, because I was like, man, like you can tell this dude's just so happy. Yeah. Like, just to finally like meet. Live. Even though, even though he's like, Yeah, I don't know who this guy is, like, just happy as hell.

SPEAKER_01 55:09

But I'm gonna tell you, I love that scene because it it shows the lines that fans are willing to blur to meet somebody that they that they're a fan of, and it doesn't go the way you think because you think you know this person, they don't know who you are.

SPEAKER_02 55:26

Yeah, and and you can tell Jake Gyllenhaal is very awkward in that scene.

SPEAKER_01 55:31

Yeah. But I forgot. I gotta, I gotta, I gotta do another one. Go for it. Her monta her her monologue.

SPEAKER_02 55:40

Oh, yeah, her monologue is was great. I was including that in that scene.

SPEAKER_01 55:44

Yeah, I know, I know. I was I just said I just gotta add one for myself. Like, yeah, her monologue is top tier. I ain't gonna lie to you. Like, dude, the dead has something to say, like shit. And then she started calling up people and then telling them, yeah, she's here, she's here. Like, she's you know what I'm saying? Like, dude. And then uh Sajgar's face through the whole time, dude. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 56:09

Like, and the movie has a lot of tension.

SPEAKER_01 56:17

It's it's just again, everything is always the caveat of like, I wish that was a little more fleshed out, or I wish Yeah, and and then that's why I keep saying that I do want a director's cut for this movie. Because I believe if we got a little bit more information, just a just a touch of a little bit more information on a lot of things. Like my biggest gripe is okay, one, how long was she dead for? And then two, bro.

SPEAKER_02 56:47

And then two, because it can't be that long.

SPEAKER_01 56:49

Yeah, and then two, if her death was a cover-up, right? If her death was a cover-up, how the hell did him and the doctor know that it was a woman's grave?

SPEAKER_02 57:04

And I know some people are gonna be like, oh, that's semantics.

SPEAKER_01 57:07

Like, why are you guys asking those questions? But here's the thing, though. If they did a little nod, like I didn't need, I don't need a 10-minute scene of them grave hunting. You get what I'm saying? Like, just give me a little something like, hey, it could be a rose petal. Hey, this grave looks fairly fresh. And look, you know what I'm saying? Hey, it has this on it. That's how we know it's a woman. You get what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 57:34

Like, oh, we were looking for names, or you know, something.

SPEAKER_01 57:38

Yeah, something sub because like we literally get them grave digging in. And it's like, it looks like the first grave they got to and they opened it and brought her back. And that's that's that's a gripe I have. I know it's a small one, but that's a gripe I have.

SPEAKER_02 57:52

I also had a bit of an issue in that, like, so I was under the idea that because what he initially says is he's like, hey, you know, we're gonna find a bunch of body parts.

SPEAKER_01 58:06

No, she said that. She said, What do you expect me to do? Put a bunch of body parts back together. That's what that's what the doctor said.

SPEAKER_02 58:13

Yeah, so I was like, I was a little upset. I mean, not a huge deal. Like, it's not like, oh, this is like a whole point off, but I was a little disappointed they didn't do that. I was like, oh man, it's gonna be all skitched up and stuff too.

SPEAKER_01 58:27

Yeah, I mean, and then like, dude, it's just you know, like, there's a lot that just a little bit more information would fix. You know, just a lot of little information would fix, man. And I'm trying to remember the movie in my head. Like, you know, like I said with the women, dude, I'd like to see more of the women commit crimes. I would love to see more of, you know, how they're like them on the run, you know. They seen, you said they seen X amount of movies. I didn't see them see that many movies, you know what I'm saying? You know, every killing, you know, every every time they was a murder or something like that. And then me and my brother-in-law made this synopsis. We made this, we made this observation at damn near at the same time. I'm like, where the hell did they get these pitchforks that quick and these in these damn torches? Where the hell did they get these torches that quick, man? That was funny. I was like, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm telling you, this is shit. This shit happened. Hey, hey, like Rob Burgundy said, well, that escalated quickly. You know, I said like shit.

SPEAKER_02 59:39

I said, No, really, wasn't like, weren't you guys just around the corner? Like, what?

SPEAKER_01 59:44

Dude, I'm gonna tell you like this. This movie is what Joker 2 wanted to be.

SPEAKER_02 59:51

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 59:53

And just on that, I wanted to give it an eight. I ain't even gonna lie. On that, and in how beautiful this movie is, it deserved to be an eight, but I can't get past the questions that I had. You know, I have a lot of questions, I have a lot of questions.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:10

I do like, so something I said in my review was I love this, even though not everything works, right? Even though not everything fits seamlessly together, I love that this movie tries to be its own thing. It tries to do its own thing.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:28

Would you say, would you say they kind of stitched it together, John? Shut up, Anthony. I'm just saying, man.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:35

Yes, they stitched it together.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:37

I mean, like, dude, I really feel like, listen, Maggie Gyllenhaal went in here and and she's fucking with our minds, dude. Like, you gotta be almost crazy to love this movie. And I think I might be almost crazy, bro. I don't hate this movie, dude. I do not hate this fucking movie. I I literally am looking forward to my second rewatch. Like, like, like on the on like it's a move, don't get me, don't get me wrong, this movie is nowhere near as good when I say this. Like Cinners. I couldn't wait to rewatch Sinners. I can't wait to re watch this movie, bro. And in and and see what I missed and and give it a better critique.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:17

And you know, you can tell, because obviously Maggie Gyllenhaal directed this, right? This is her, I believe, sophomore outing as a director.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:25

I believe so. Do you know go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Say what you're gonna say, and I got something to give you.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:31

Yeah, I was just gonna say, but like, you know, if this your sophomore outing, this is the second movie you ever made, like, alright, you're doing all right. Yeah. Like, that's fine.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:41

I mean, dude, you I ain't gonna lie to you. I don't see why Jesse Buckley and Christian Bell would get nominated here. I don't see why not.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:51

Like, you can't both did a great job.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:53

Oh, yeah. But do you know how this movie came about? Did I send you the video about how this movie came about?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:00

No, what?

SPEAKER_01 1:02:01

Yeah. So the move the reason Maggie Gyllenhaal wanted to make this movie. Did I send you that? No, you did not. It's the most hipster, crazy, batshit fucking thing ever. She saw, she was at a party and she saw a guy with a Bride of Frankenstein tattoo. That's so sick. And she went and re-watched the first Bride of Frankenstein. And for y'all who don't know, in the first, I haven't I have not watched it. Close as I've came is to my favorite retelling of the Bride of Frankenstein, which is the Bride of Chucky. So, yeah, I mean, you laugh what you want, it's the same shit. But she she said that what bugged her was that she's only in the movie for like a couple of minutes. And she was wondering, like, who is this woman? Like, what's going through her mind? And she only has one dialogue, and it's a screen. That's it. And and to be fair, hey, WB has their hands on two brides that kick ass Creature Commandos, and now this one. That's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:12

Yeah, bro. Also, like her design, like everyone's design in this movie looks so good.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:20

Good. Yeah. Dude, I'd rather not. And she knocks the fuck everything over. Bro, I'm telling you, that scene, by far the funniest scene in the movie.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:28

She's like the most relatable thing I've seen in a movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:30

Yeah, I'd rather not. And then it just knocks shit off the table. Dude, I'm telling you, I like this movie, bro. I went to this movie expecting to be like, it's gonna be okay. And honestly, I'm not sitting here saying, like, I love this movie. I'm not sitting here saying, I just can't wait to rewatch this movie and see if my opinion stands. Because me and John believe that a second viewing will reveal to you how you really feel about it. Some movies, some of some movies don't deserve a second viewing. But some movies deserve that second view, and I think this is one of them.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:07

And then there's I'm gonna need a second watch here, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:10

Like I'm telling you, dude, I have it as a seven. My heart tells me that this movie is an eight. I'm being real. I have it as a seven, but my heart tells me this movie is an eight. I don't know what it is.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:24

Again, this was just real. Like, I don't feel hurt watching this movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:30

Like, I was like, Okay, so I got one thing, and then we gotta get out of here. But go ahead and finish what you're saying.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:36

I was gonna say, like, you know, Scream offended me because I I had high expectations for a franchise. I had mid-expectations for this movie, and I got a little better than what I was expecting, and that felt nice.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:52

Like exactly. And so, what the hell was I gonna say? Damn, I don't forgot. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Nah, but yeah, dude, um, I just like I said, man, this movie is something that I feel like you should check out for yourself. What wherever you land at on the side of the fence, you know, that's on, you know, that's cool. But I did, I can't, I like I said, I just I I went into this movie expecting not to like it. And I mean, not not not not to like not like it, but not to love it. You get what I'm saying? And I'm not saying I love it. It's way better than Scream 7.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:34

This is not even close. Someone's like, what? You can't compare them. Oh no, we can.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:43

We can, and we did, and we will. But like, dude, I'm telling you now. Uh, dude, I just I don't know, man. I had something else to say, and I'm gonna remember it after we get off. But bump it. It is what it is, man. I think I can't wait till this movie comes out on streaming. Check it out again. But John, yeah. Guys, this has been another version, another rendition, another take of One Take Real Talk. And it was all in one shot. One take. Keep it real.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:22

Keep it real.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:23

Peace. Peace.
