Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:05

Welcome back, No Takers. This is Noah Aram with another episode of the On Real No podcast.

SPEAKER_01 0:10

And this is Aiden, and my role as Brad got cut from Scary Movie Sex, and I was replaced with a Wayne's brother.

SPEAKER_00 0:16

Oh, you you did didn't you see they're calling it scary movie with no with no number? Because you know, Scream 2022.

SPEAKER_01 0:24

Well, that marketing didn't quite hit my for you page, though. I have not seen that.

SPEAKER_00 0:30

You know, I saw a lot of marketing for this movie, and most of it wasn't great. But I I I, you know, I went against my I went against my better judgment, and I should have kept my uh good eye on that bulbous ass forehead bitch. I don't know who I was talking about. I guess Anna Ferris. I don't know. Are you talking about Marlon? Are you talking about Sean? You know, I'm talking about Marlon.

SPEAKER_01 0:50

I'm I'm gonna talk about Marlon. I actually I knew this movie was coming out. Obviously, I was you know kind of anticipating it, but I don't recall seeing a lot of marketing. I definitely saw like a lot of Regina and Anna on a press tour. Because you know, I'm I'm a YouTube watcher, so I'll see the little videos like, oh, what's in my bag? Or let me try some British snacks. And I'm like, oh, what you got coming out, Sue? Because they only do that when they got something coming out. Exactly. They don't just do that for nothing. So when I see somebody where I know they're in a movie and they're doing that shit, I'm like, oh, it's coming out, Sue. Which is kind of like this movie. Literally. I was like, oh, I guess it's jumping out, Sue. Because Anna Ferris is fucking talking about what's in her purse.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

Well, let's talk about what's in our fucking purse, which is this movie that we have some mixed feelings on, which is unfortunate because I think I think we were looking for it.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

I thought you were really gonna ask me because I was gonna say if I had a purse, I would always have my handy-dandy fan.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

Oh, it's a fan for a second. I thought that was a staple. I was like, why the hell you gotta staple it? What are you staple? I mean on the fly. Something, something. Well, I I I've got my I've got my chapstick. I've got my oh, we gotta make sure the label faces the camera. I gotta staple your doors of the man. We're we're getting paid for this.

SPEAKER_01 2:12

No, no, we're not. Don't mind. We probably can get an affiliate code if you know.

SPEAKER_00 2:19

Let's let's have our person reach out to them. But um yeah, scary movie six, scary movie six. Someone should have reached out to Marlon Wayans because uh he I I I think he I I think he insisted upon himself this time around.

SPEAKER_01 2:35

I mean I I I do want to see the level of writing on the script, like who contributed what, right? Who was getting some credits? I would love some insight into the writer's room and it's you know, demographical makeup, comedic makeup. Uh-huh. You know, just to get a sense of what was going on, because um, the script and direction of this movie was questionable. Was not it. Very questionable. Very much. And you know what? I will give them that the idea was great. Well, not great. The idea was solid. Yeah. Like as a reboot movie, and it's not reboot, but kind of like, you know. The requal. Long time coming, yeah, kind of requel. Getting into the meta of it all, which is how our movies are developing. Smart choice. Yes. And also kind of referencing it around Scream's new reboot and their new generation and kind of tying into that. Also a smart choice. Yeah. Not tying in a lot of the other movies and making them more feel like sketch comedy segments in between the main show. Yeah. Not a great choice.

SPEAKER_00 3:41

Yeah. No, I agree. I think that timing-wise, this was this honestly was, I think, as good of a time as any for this franchise to make its return. I think, like you said, with the whole like the repo angle of the new Scream. I mean, it's not even just Scream. Like, I mean, a lot of these franchises have been getting brought back, you know, Scream, I know what you did last summer. Like, you know, there's been a lot of these kind of 90s slasher franchises that have been making their comebacks, and I think it's 90s, like 70s and 80s, even. Because I mean we got we got fucking Jamie Lee Curtis and yet another Halloween trilogy just a few years ago. Um which they wrapped up.

SPEAKER_01 4:13

That's why they referenced her in this. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

Yep. But um, so yeah, I think the timing was right. I think the material was good. I just think that unfortunately the execution was lacking. But I did wear my little ghost face chain in honor of this episode today just because I had it. Period. Well, I was gonna wear my Ma wig, but I left it in my car.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

Damn, I left mine at work. It's in my desk drawer. But Regina Hall made sure to get hers. Honestly, I like to believe that Regina refused to sign on the movie unless she could wear that wig the whole time.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

Well, I was gonna say, I was kind of surprised she wore it the whole time. I thought she would switch the hairstyle around a little bit. But I guess not. I guess I guess it's just that wig.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

Honestly, her and that wig were just such a good comedic choice because I couldn't help the tackle whenever I saw her.

SPEAKER_00 5:03

Well, it sends me that like the the the mock character doesn't say it kind of sends me that like the most she did as far as like leaning into the mock character was putting on the fucking wig and serving some jello shots. You know, it was very subtle.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

It was more like, oh yeah, I'm doing this now.

unknown 5:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:18

So very referential, but yeah, you know, she didn't, you know. She didn't bleach no, she didn't take no white boys tape tape lips together, whatever mode.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

Well, before we get deep into this movie, I do want to just touch on the franchise as a whole. Obviously, scary the scary movie franchise. I mean, this is a this is a big one. These movies were huge back in the 2000s. I mean, they the when you look at the box office and stuff, these movies were outperforming the movies they were making fun of and spoofing. Uh and I mean this was and the that original like scary movie one to three, maybe four, like run, that was like during peak like spoof parody movies. That's when we had all the other ones, like date movie, not another teen movie, just all of them.

SPEAKER_01 6:05

I know. Parody movies were definitely in their prime in that era, and scary movie was no exception, and I think was an extension of the Wayne's brothers. I kind of like brand back then. They really dominated the comedy scene. So yeah. It was a natural extension.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

Yeah, and I also think that that was also the peak of kind of like kind of like edgy comedy, like in terms of like um people really seem to enjoy like something that was like a little bit shocking, really pushing it as far as like being potentially offensive and whatnot. There was a lot of that at the time. And I guess it's like that's kind and I mean we'll get into this with the Chris of the movie, but I feel like it's kind of having that type of comedy is very much having a resurgence now. But in a lot of ways, it feels it doesn't feel it feels more like forced and lazy now than it did back then. Damn. That's just my opinion. Um not and it's not just this specific movie of scare of the scary movie franchise, but in general, I feel like I've seen like a lot of like, oh, edgy comedy's making comeback, but like it's gotten very it's gotten very lazy in my opinion.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

No, I definitely agree, and I feel like I don't know, people either go for like the easy jokes to low-hanging fruit to where it feels dated. Yeah. Or they're not like very careful about it. Because I don't believe that comedy is like dead or you can't make funny jokes. You know, yeah. You just have to be very funny and thoughtful with it, which is you know more of a challenge. But a lot of comedians do it well and quite great. Like I will say, I think Miss Pat should have been on Scary Movie Six. I think she would have spiced this cast up. Right.

SPEAKER_03 7:39

I agree.

SPEAKER_01 7:39

I agree. I think she could have, you know, done a little more fun with the improv of it all, maybe had things land a little more. Yeah. But maybe some people didn't want to be outshine.

SPEAKER_00 7:48

Who? Maybe so, maybe so. Yeah, I agree. I think that I think that the problem is like with kind of edgy comedy, like you said, like it's kind of gotta be thoughtful. There's gotta be, there actually has to be like a joke. Because I think the problem with a lot of people that try to do edgy type comedy is they just say something just blatantly offensive and leave it at that. And that's where I think the laziness comes in, where it's like, okay, well, it's not just it's not just funny to say something offensive and leave it at that, and like there's nothing else there.

SPEAKER_01 8:20

Or they just want to like punch down, which is kind of like a group that already has to deal with too much. Right. Especially if, you know, versus your demographic. It's like if we, you know, spend the episode drag and trans, people's like, for what?

SPEAKER_00 8:33

Right. Well, I'll think that. It's like peop, it's like you have these people that like they just want to be an asshole and yell some slurs or something and say it's in the name of comedy. I'm like, no, I think you're just kind of an asshole. Right?

SPEAKER_01 8:43

You didn't even try to make it funny. Because I've been in, you know, stand-up rooms. You know, I enjoy a comedy show. You like it? The comedian have me looking at them side-eyeing them like, what you talking about? But then they get me back in the next second with the next joke. Right. You know, like it's a skill, it's a talent, and you gotta respect it. But you gotta be good at it. Which not to say that they're not good comedians, but yeah. I don't know. There was a Reddit comment from let me get the Reddit's name, X Red Waffle, who said, This movie feels like the script was written in 2015, locked in a drawer, and didn't get taken out until last year, and had like a couple of changes from Modern References, LMA. I mean, I tend to agree with.

SPEAKER_00 9:24

Yeah, no, I kind of saw somebody, and part of what made me nervous when this movie was being promoted was the way they were promoting it, because they were kind of like some of the promo material. I don't know if you saw because you said you didn't really see a lot of promo, but a lot of the promo material was like, kind of like, oh, canceling cancel culture. We're pushing every line, like we're crossing every line. Um, like it was kind of like a little bit cringy of like, kind of like what I said, where it's like it's almost felt like okay, okay, I'm kind of worried you guys are like going for like the offensive just to be offensive route, and like that's it. Um and then also I like you, I saw somebody that said that a lot of the jokes about like I guess about like being woke or whatever, felt very like 2022 or something. They were like, this is like these jokes are from like like peak anti-woke era of a few years ago.

SPEAKER_01 10:20

Yeah. Like Sydney Park's whole character, who was supposed to be a representation of Mindy from the screen series. Yeah. Who I think her name is D or D. Yeah. But that's one Sydney Park is gorgeous. Sydney Park is gorgeous. I want to just get that out there. I remember her from Black to Raven when she'd appear on that show, running around as the badass Girl Scout or whatever. But you know, her character as that stand-in just felt like dated and weird and not even realistic.

SPEAKER_00 10:47

Right. Well, especially because, and I was gonna say for that specific one, like with parodying like Mindy from the Scream franchise, was that it felt interesting to me that they decided to make her kind of like them, sorry, that that they kind of decided to make um this character kind of like the main mouthpiece for like the woke jokes. Because like when you for people who have seen uh Scream 5 and 6, like Mindy's not really that. Like Mindy's like the horror movie expert, the annoying, like one kind of like explaining the rules of like the tropes and stuff like that. And we only got like one little scene with a little bit of dialogue um in this movie during like the whole like who's the killer scene where they all meet up in the living room, like in the in Scream 5. That was the only point in the movie where this character even really did that. The rest of this character screen time was all about just making like jokes about pronouns and um consent and protests and stuff like that, um, and ray and like racial stuff. Like that was like the rest of the character. I was like, that was not Mindy at all in any of those movies.

SPEAKER_03 11:53

So it it felt like an interesting joke.

SPEAKER_00 11:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

It just felt like shoehorned in when she, like, even at the scene where Brenda dropped them off the school, she's like, Well, I gotta go to Afghan American history, y'all. And it's like, well, was that needed? Yeah, she said stay black. It's like all right, yeah. And I guess it's supposed to be, you know, exaggerated over the top representation of it, but they could have went a completely different direction. And like you said, taking advantage of like the horror movie niche part of it all. Especially since the movie did embrace like being meta in such a grand way. But then to not leverage that to the best of the ability, it was kind of like, alright. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:31

Maybe they wanted maybe that's the joke they wanted to do. Well, I feel like to me, it almost felt like they didn't even really it felt to be like they didn't even either really watch Scream 5 or 6 and really know about Mindy's character. I almost felt like they were like, oh, this character is a queer person of color. They're the woke character.

SPEAKER_01 12:49

Yeah, pretty much. If any Mary to Medicine R R H O A castmate were to make a scary movie six appearance, who would you want in it?

SPEAKER_00 12:59

Um what well, you know, since since I know that she has a great working relationship with the weigh-ends, I I would say Drew Sodora. Especially now she's got her new body.

SPEAKER_01 13:10

I could see Drew in this movie. I could see Drew in the movie. She went and got her new body so she can go do the movie. But I feel like Drew would insist on playing herself, but that's neither here nor there. But since we did just talk about Miss Mindy, or you know, the D day, but how did you feel about, you know, the kind of copy caricature approach that they had with the screen people? Because I kind of liked it. You could kind of immediately see who everybody was. Although I feel like they were throwing shade at Mikey Madison making that character such a whore, because Amber wasn't that much of a whore.

SPEAKER_00 13:44

Well, it kind of felt like um, because the thing is, I think they they combined, because with most of them, they were like just a direct, like one-to-one like spoof of the characters. But for the Amber character, they oh god, I'm forgetting her name. Uh Liv. They come they combined Amber and Liv, Chad's girlfriend from Scream 5, together into one character.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

Oh, see, I don't even remember his girlfriend from Scream 5. So that's the one.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

Yeah, the one the one with them candy apple red tips.

SPEAKER_01 14:16

That makes sense. I was kind of like, is she supposed to be, you know, oh Mikey Madison? But then she did the whole Welcome to Act Three bitch, and I was like, okay, she is.

SPEAKER_00 14:24

Yeah, no, because for most of the movies, she was like, it seemed like she was supposed to be a stand-in for that character Liv, the one that got shot in the hit. Um, the one the one that was Chad's girlfriend that got killed or whatever. But then like at that point, suddenly it's like, oh no, she's actually the Amber character, one of the killers. Um so yeah, I don't, I don't know. For her, like, I will say she was kind of like funny. Her like super over-the-top, like sex positive thing, like vibe that she had going on was kind of amusing. Um, but definitely it started to wear thin eventually. Um she did end up her and uh her and the Chad spoofed ended up giving us like the kind of the wildest scene in the movie with that with that eating out moment. Oh, would he done rolled her clot to a blunt? I know he even licked it. And got the lighter.

SPEAKER_03 15:16

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 15:17

I was like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 15:19

Um the fact that that scene right before with his quote unquote uncle where they were next to each other while looking closely at that actor, because he kind of had some good skin. He kind of ate he sat well with the high school people because they did you know why frames. A lot of them were in the shot. But right next to I don't know if it was Marlon or Sean in that shot. It was Marlon. Right next to them, I'm like, oh, you look like a 35-year-old man.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Right. Well, and the thing is that like they they could have acknowledged that I made the joke because, like, in the very first scary movie, they made that joke where they were joking about like, like, oh, who would play us in in the movie and whatnot? And they're like, yeah, there'd probably be some people in their late 20s and early 30s playing high schoolers, and they kind of like looked around.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

Well, they like lightly make a joke at it because later on in the movie they're like, oh, you know how many Waynes brothers we got to cast in this movie? Which I didn't realize till after that Brad mixes Greg Wayans, who was part of their family and is their actual nephew, I think. So that's funny. You know, if that's but I do think he embodied the caricature of Chad quite well. Oh. Even though he's not light skinned, he kind of had like that bougie, you know, J. Crew, I day white girls kind of look. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:27

Which is perfect. I think especially since the focus was Scream 5 rather than Scream Six, because um, I feel like Chad was a more developed character in Scream Six, and Scream 5, he was a little bit more shallow of a character. Um and I felt like his like little spoof version uh pulled it off really well.

SPEAKER_01 16:44

Uh and I I And I thought the um Jack was funny because he was such he was literally just Richie. He was one on one. And how he was so obvious with it, be like, oh, you know, girl, I just you know, this glove I'm just wearing it, which I thought was one of the funnier bits of the movie.

SPEAKER_00 16:58

I screw I screamed when he was talking to Tuesday in the hospital talking about she's like, Why are you wearing gloves? And he and he said something. And he said, Um, he said he made some kind of OJ reference, and she's like, But yours fit.

SPEAKER_01 17:13

You know, I really like Tuesday, who I have to look the actress up, Miss Savannah Lena C. Yeah. But she seemed like she was having fun with the role. So I think of the newer cast members, she was probably the strongest performance to me.

unknown 17:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:25

Because the rest of them are kind of just like, especially next to Anna Ferris and uh Regina. Yeah, like that scene in the living room, they were just getting ate up.

SPEAKER_00 17:34

I know they were like all the focus was Regina, and then Anna showed up, and all the and then it was just Anna and Regina. I was like, damn, y'all, y'all are gasping for air right now on this scene.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

I was watching it, like, yeah, yeah, get up. Somebody throw a pot. Somebody throw a pie.

SPEAKER_00 17:50

Yeah. Well, what pissed me off was um, well, actually, you know, I'll wait until we get more into like the legacy characters. I want to talk more about the newer characters. Um, but kind of speaking of the newer characters, I did kind of I did find um our our non-binary version of 13 Reasons Why. Um, I thought he I thought um he well actually no, he wasn't non-binary, he was a trans man um in the movie.

SPEAKER_01 18:13

But him Well yeah, he was supposed to be Dylan Minette, or they were supposed to be Dylan Manette.

SPEAKER_00 18:18

And then we had the shit we had him and his sheriff dad and everything. And like that was kind of funny, like, especially because I feel like they kind of did go against like what I was expecting for that one, like when they introduced him and um his dad was like talking about like toughen up or whatever. And like, um, and when he was like, Oh, just treat me like one of the guys, I thought like his dad was gonna get rough with him. When he socked his dad in the face and knocked his ass down and was like, Don't be a pussy. I was like, I did cackle. I did cackle. Yeah. They had some funny scenes. They had some funny scenes. That's like at the at the house when he's on the phone with Ghostface, and um Ghostface like called ice on all their all the all the people that work for them. Um and that that moment was funny. Fucking him talking about they're the backbone, they're the backbone of our society, and I'm too white for those jobs. That was one of the times my entire theater theater did cackle. One of the few. One of the few. So I thought that character was fun. You know, I thought I actually thought like a lot of the new characters were fun. I kind of liked, even though she couldn't necessarily keep up with Anna Ferris, I did enjoy um Cindy's daughter in this movie because that act, yeah, that actress, she kind of did have a little bit of that goofy, dumbass thing that Anna Ferris has going on. So I thought the casting worked there.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

You know, she really committed to the Anna Ferris of it all. Like the voice, the mannerisms. I'll give Olivia Rose Keegan her, you know, some snaps for that. You know, I will say in terms of look and feel and aesthetic, it's clear that they cast for that over anything else, I feel like for the most part. But it kind of fits for what they're going for. Yeah. So that worked. So though, you know, the comedic chops of all of them weren't quite up to par, especially versus Anna and Regina. But that's I think that's a tough call. You know, that's I'm asking for a lot for them. So I'm gonna be nice. Well left. I will say, um, Sherry Altaria's Gail Hailstorm. A lot of Gale scenes had me cackling. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:21

So I want to shout out her. Right. Well, yeah, because getting into the legacy characters, we can start with her. Um, she was one of our OGs from the very first um scary movie, and she was hilarious in that movie back in the day. The fucking in the very first scary movie, the scene where she's like interviewing that girl that's being murdered and interviewing Ghostface while he's murdering her and like completely just not giving a fuck. That cracks me up every time I see that. Where she's like, What are you feeling right now? Um, she really gets the bit. Yeah. No. She's funny. And she was really funny in this movie. I felt like she like slipped right back into the character like over 20, you know, almost 30 years later. Um, and it was like as if she played this character yesterday. Um, and her like death scene with the whole substance parody was hilarious. That part actually did make me laugh. Like ghost face shaking ass in the back. Um, but that like w wearing the ghost face mask, but also wearing the little like the little hygiene mask. Um injecting her with the stuff. Um, I thought that was a really funny parody of the substance. And they actually they did a good job with uh recreating the little backsplitting scene. I was like, this this is a good this is good for like a low budget spoof movie.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

You know, that was one of the better references in cameos, especially because it tied into her, if you want to call it a storyline. Because her, you know, aside from her little Republican Candace Owens TV moments, her first introduction was kind of like showing up on the scene, and you'd be see a bunch of TikTok dancers and OnlyFans girls trying to report on the news. I'm here with OnlyFans News, and she's like, I can't keep. Up with this shit. So you know it tied in together. It tied in together. When she knocked over that girl's ring button, the girl's like, My equipment.

SPEAKER_00 22:09

That scene was one of the times I was actually laughing in the movie. Yeah. There there was a can't I can't now I'm I'm blanking out. There was a funny Candace Owens line in this movie. Talking about that's like Candace. Oh, somebody said something about like that's Candace Owens wife.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

I do remember that.

SPEAKER_00 22:25

And I I that part made me laugh. Um she was funny. We had we had Officer Doofy back. Um who I thought it was funny the way that they like because like when he first came back, like you know, he was the killer in the uh first movie. And like at first I just weren't acknowledging it. I was like, are they gonna acknowledge it? And then they did, and like they he was like, Well, I'm not now. I thought that was funny.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

I don't know, and him saving the day where you know, putting his finger up his AS.

SPEAKER_00 22:58

Yes, hit his little shenanigans. Um, you know, that's I don't know, that's a character that definitely has not aged well, considering like the whole point of the character with it's just like a parody of Dewey from the scream films, but like with special needs. And it's kind of like, oh. Like even at the time, even at the time watching the original screen movie, it's like, oh, this this is definitely punching down.

SPEAKER_01 23:20

Right. And even like one of the worst Gail lines when she was like, you know, referencing towards Gail and Stewie's relationship, talking about, well, I can't do blowjobs anymore because of me too. It's like, what, girl? Oh my god. But then I should ask her what you gave him a hand job, and he and he was hopping away at the at the van. I can't. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:40

Um she can still do hand jobs, apparently. But I guess, I guess Dewey did, I mean, Doofy did have a purpose in kind of giving us that recreation of Dewey's, you know, iconic death scene from Scream 5. You know, we gotta we gotta kill off the legacy characters to show we have stakes. Um Although also dying in scare in the scary movie franchise, as Brenda will tell you, does not necessarily mean much. Um speaking of which, I want to talk about how uh we mentioned earlier, but with the Mindy character Dee, we kind of got almost like we kind of got a reference to Brenda's death scene in the original scary movie, which was a reference to Jada Pinkett Smith's death scene in Scream 2 in the movie theater, where basically Dee was just um saying a lot of woke stuff and really annoying everybody on the subway. So, so after Ghostface stabbed stabbed them, um everybody else tried to take in a swipe too, just like they did in the movie theater with Brenda Death. But honestly, that reference kind of what didn't hit for me because it just reminded me of how good that scene was from the original.

SPEAKER_01 24:46

Yeah, that one was kind of the representative of how dated the movie was, I feel like, with the whole approach to it. But I I like the homage to the cute little subway scene from from Scream 5, which was heavy in the promo or Scream 6, whichever one that was. Yeah. Which I think was probably homage to another horror movie.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

I don't know. Well, I mean, I guess if you think about it, in that scene, if we if we want to get meta, they're referencing Scream 6 and Megan at the same time while also referencing Scary Movie, which ref which also references Scream 2. Oh yeah, that was the little Megan Cameo just dancing around.

SPEAKER_01 25:23

Dance around. I feel like my good sis Megan deserved better, but right.

SPEAKER_00 25:27

But I'm still mad about Megan 2.0, so. Well, I feel like there was a lot of things though where they like wanted to reference movies, but like they were like trying to fit so many in there because like that was like our ref our Megan reference. And then like um they did a reference to Long Legs, but like it was like literally just like a brief, like a very brief scene of the character from Long Legs just looking creepy, and that was about it. Um Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:53

And like I said, a lot of the references just felt like sketches that were tangential to the main scream storyline that were kind of just shoehorned in. Like specifically the get out and um Sinners ones, which I was personally very excited to see what they would do with that material and kind of just felt like non-linear sketches that really didn't hit truthfully. Like the Sinners one was very all over the place, starting, you know, with the Sinners gag, but turning into an I am delivered reference, which is very 2013 of itself. Yeah. And it was like, oh, okay, whatever. Although with that scene, I remember watching the theater, like, why are there so many, like, you know, member of our community background actors in this scene? And then when they started twerking, I was like, okay, this is this is why the casting call ended up that way.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

Yeah, and I just I think because like I would never expect these movies to necessarily have like, you know, some amazing, you know, great, solid plot. Um, but I expect a little bit of a plot because I feel like in the in the past because this franchise, like it was more than that, like more than what you're describing as far as just like a series of sketches or whatever. It was like they were paroding these movies, bringing them together, and there was overall like a thorough plot all the way through. Um and yeah, this movie did feel very disjointed in that way.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

Which goes back to that original Reddit comment of just like slightly changing things for modern references, because I was impressed, like the amount of like relatively recent things that they referenced. Like Sinners, you know, was just out last year. Like Michael just won that Oscar.

SPEAKER_00 27:25

I was I'll say, Yeah, they they referenced the they they referenced the damn Michael biopic, and that's that's still that's still in theaters.

SPEAKER_01 27:32

Oh yeah, that little Jermaine B. That Jermaine Bett did make me laugh. That that was actually funny. And the Kai Sinato cameo sketch. At first I was kind of annoyed, but then when Ghostface decapitated him, I was like, what?

SPEAKER_00 27:46

I just feel like I feel like some of that, like the way they really leaned into like the whole streamer thing and like the social media thing, influencer thing. I don't know how well that's gonna age because like I feel like influencer culture like changes so much every few years that it becomes like a whole different thing. Um and that's the thing is I think with a lot of things in this movie, because you know, I think anytime you're doing a movie that's like essentially built around referencing like what's hot at the time or what's popular, like the big movies and like what's out there um in pop culture, there's always gonna be the risk of it being of it feeling dated. But I feel like this movie is like really gonna feel dated. I mean, it already, like we mentioned, feels dated. I feel like so it's gonna feel even more.

SPEAKER_01 28:28

You know, a lot of the humor and like what they're talking about already feels yeah. 2017-ish.

SPEAKER_00 28:36

I mean, we we got the we got the whole bit of like of Doofy being like paranoid as fuck about COVID.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

Mm-hmm. And the most modern thing is talking about Tiana Taylors and Demi Moore's lack of Oscars, which I like when Gold's face would get a little shady when his back was against the wall.

SPEAKER_00 28:54

I I actually I really liked the Tiana Taylor opening because especially because A, like, based off the trailers, and the movie did end up being more referential to Scream 5. So I was expecting the opening to be a direct parody of the Scream 5 opening. So the fact that we opened with like a Scream 6 opening parody with Tiana Taylor, like I actually I was pleasantly surprised and I really enjoyed her scene, and it made me it made me get my hopes up for the rest of the movie, which ended up letting me down. But um, yeah, her opening scene was.

SPEAKER_01 29:23

So it did the opposite for me. Once I got through that scene, I was like, I see what Noah was fucking talking about. See, that was when I that was when I sent you the message, the text, like, oh, well, I was kind of texting you through my whole pre-show experience because I was at a theater I don't usually go to, and I was somebody had to know about that. And I was like, after Tiana's here, I was like, oh, I see what you were talking about.

SPEAKER_00 29:43

Oh, see, and I like it.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

I just felt like did a black person write that? I don't know. I just feel like if you let Tiana riff for like 10 minutes, you probably could have gotten a funnier take than that. But I'm not in the industry. All I do is pedal products, so what do I know? You know what? You took an improv class. You can you can talk your shit. Improv scanned up and sketch. So I'd say you can talk your shit. I actually do have a note about that because and I low sketch class at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective. Oh. You know, you're kind of taught to build tension. Especially when you're leveraging the rule of threes, as you know, comedy. A lot of things come in threes. So something I did notice that I was like, I I wouldn't have done it like that, was when Brad and Ghostface had yelled a moment. And I did cacko when Ghostface whips Brad. And he's like, What's with the 12 years of slave shit? Yeah. And then Ghostface goes right to a noose, which is like, holy shit. He's talking about I didn't mean it like that. But he comes down to a gun, which is just like, okay, I feel like the noose was a lot more than the gun.

unknown 30:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:46

But in comedy, they they tell you to kind of build tension, like, save the funniest thing for the end. So I personally would have put the noose last. Like, you start with the whip, and it's like get to race show, it's like, okay, gun. And then be like, are you gonna do another black brother like that? Right. And then go to nootes. So it's like a gag.

SPEAKER_00 31:00

But that's just me. That's just me. I I did cackle it at time back into the beginning of the movie where he's like, Wow, D was right, race is still an issue in America.

SPEAKER_01 31:12

That's true. Brad and his fucking bullshit. I can't. Although I wish they joked at how, you know how well I guess it was more Scream 6, and you did point out that he was more of like a Scream 5 Chad. But I wish they would have done something about how Chad was always getting fucked up and never died. Which I thought that's where they were gonna go with that scene.

unknown 31:30

Right.

SPEAKER_01 31:31

They could have. They could have.

SPEAKER_00 31:33

Um well, and then um and then as far as like other characters, obviously we have the Wayans Brothers back and they really beat it into your head that like, oh, they're back in this movie. They're they're they've taken back their franchise. They they really that's that's you know, half the dialogue. Well that they were the killers, they have to establish an editor. Right. It's that did like make me laugh that like they were out of the killers and that was their motive.

SPEAKER_01 32:07

They were like, yeah, busy yeah, y'all did the movie without us. Fuck you. You worked for the Weinsteins. I was like, oh wow, they really made that the reason, huh? That was kind of a gag. They're tie into how meta the movie was overall.

SPEAKER_00 32:21

Right. Well, and the fact that so much of the promo material was like basically like really pushing the fact that, like, oh, the Wayans brothers are back for this one, like, you know. And I think that kind of ties into, especially with a lot of times, and it ties into the whole requel thing too, right? Because a lot of times these requels they kind of will ignore other sequels and just tie back to the original. They'll bring back the OGs from the original, they might even bring back like a director or something from the original or writers from the original. You know, you saw it um with Scream 7 recently, where they were like, oh, Kevin Williams gonna is gonna direct it. Kevin Williamson is gonna direct it, and Nev Campbell's back. Um, like, please come see this movie. Um so I I thought I thought that aspect was funny. And yeah, that that being their killer motive, like, really did crack me up at the end.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

Like, I thought I did find that and I also like I don't think Anthony Anderson needed to be there, but I did cackle at Shaq.

unknown 33:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

And they were like, bitch, you were in the movie for five minutes.

SPEAKER_00 33:19

And he's like, and I had Dr. Phil cut off his phone.

SPEAKER_01 33:23

I wonder the way the brothers were like, You'll be on your podcast, like, oh no, no, no, no, like I'm I don't know the reference. I've never heard Shaq you know on air like that, but I was cackling in the theater, like I got it.

SPEAKER_03 33:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:38

When I um and I love that um that they kind that they kind of um that they were like directly referencing. I think um who was it? Because like when they were like complaining about the other character, like the other actors continuing to like work on the movies after that. I think like um Cindy was like, I was under contract. And um and Anthony was like, I didn't know y'all got pushed down. I also I also liked that at the end they ended up killing off like just the entire remainder of the new cast. Um they're like, So that was funny.

SPEAKER_01 34:17

I was gasped when Cindy was born to gas like both her daughters.

SPEAKER_00 34:22

I was like, really? And then like when they left that when they left the house, like behind them, and I think it was Brenda that was like, you know, these are our kids. And and Cindy was like, fuck them kids. And they walked away with a cake, so I could that yeah, that part I was like, oh, okay. And Regina Hall was kicked the fuck up. I was like okay, right? The the fact that they killed off all the new characters that that was giving more Scream 4 than Scream 5, because Scream 4 was the movie where they killed off every fucking new character they introduced. So the legacy characters would be like, nah, it's still us.

SPEAKER_01 34:53

They should have had Emma Roberts play herself or play Joe or something. Because I feel like Emma Roberts would shine in this kind of movie.

SPEAKER_00 35:00

Oh god. If she I mean, that's I mean, we we know from watching her play like Chanel Oberlin, Madison Montgomery, and a few other characters that like if she can just play a bitchy, you know, elevated version of herself, that that's what she does best. Right. But Regina Hall would have to get the slap her.

SPEAKER_01 35:15

And she couldn't pull her usual antics on set that she likes to pull on screen quick.

SPEAKER_00 35:20

Right. She definitely couldn't try what she tried with Angela Carras on Regina Hall. Who? Oh, she beat her ass. Um beat her auntie's ass. Speaking of Regina Hall, let's get into Regina and um Anak, um, who are kind of like the as Cindy and and Brenda, they really are the highlights of this movie for me. And unfortunately, they weren't that present. Like they kind of were in comparison to previous movies in the franchise, they were a little underutilized and didn't get that much screen time.

SPEAKER_01 35:51

Yeah, no, they definitely could have gotten more to do because they were the most captivating part of the movie. And I was most entertained when either of them were on the screen. And definitely entertained when both of them were on the screen. Like one of my favorite scenes was when we get the whole Amber shooting that moment, and Brenda pretends to get hit with a catch-in packet. But she don't want to go in the house and deal with that. She was like, You think I'm taking my ass in there? And I was kind of thinking, like, that might be us. That might be us.

SPEAKER_00 36:20

I can't.

SPEAKER_01 36:22

I think you would check for a wound.

SPEAKER_00 36:24

I would. I would I wouldn't just I wouldn't just take your word for it. I'd be like, well, hold on.

SPEAKER_01 36:29

I'd be like, you know, I thought you were speaking out if you really got shot. You smiling a little too much. Right. I'd be like I'd be like, you're I'd be like, you're you're a dramatic bitch.

SPEAKER_00 36:37

Um, I don't know if I could do that bit without cackling. I don't know. Right. Well, and also like I feel like, you know, those two were a major force behind people wanting to go see this movie because like I remember when it kind of was getting rumored and announced that this movie was happening. I didn't see anybody get excited until it got confirmed that Regina and Anna would be in it. That's when I saw people get excited and hyped for this.

SPEAKER_01 37:03

They are they are they are a scary movie. Right. Some white bitch fell down a well again. Black people get their ass beat by police every day, but some whitey fell down a hull. Now the whole world got topics.

SPEAKER_00 37:17

I'm beating her ass, Cindy. So many good Brenda quotes. I I I mean, the the the movie theater scene from the first one will always just like that will never fail to make me laugh. Get out of my face, get out of my face. Well, I flung my glasses off, getting all hyped up. But yeah, it was just like I feel like those two were such a driving force that like the fact that they weren't featured as prominently as I think people would have expected for them to be in this movie, especially because like they were featured so heavily in the trailers and everything for this movie, which ended up it's like, oh damn, the what we saw on the trailers was damn near all their screen time. Um it did feel a little bit like a bait and switch. It felt a little bit like a bait and switch, but I bet those checks were still good.

SPEAKER_01 37:59

Now I would have called it a bait and switch because I feel like they had the main narrative. Or maybe because I was so unentertained by the new people that I was just like, oh, okay. Just waiting for them to come back. Pretty much. At least I don't know. They were connected to the storyline. The Wayne Brothers technically were in it, but it felt like they were more in a sketch that was going on alongside the movie. Right. Rather than actually in the movie. Right. Like some of the bits were just so like, just they wanted to do that. Although I will say, I was capping at the K-pop demon hunters of it all, the little animation and him laid up with them Japanese hoes.

SPEAKER_00 38:33

But see, I that scene, I and I think the thing is that. I run on a little long. That's like a little long. I think I'm biased because um, because at work I I work in a damn bank. So um that that K-pop Demon Hunter song, I hear that song on the radio at least three times a day, every single day, Monday through Friday. So I'm just so sick of that song. So once that parody started, I was like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 38:58

We're shaking ass, ass, ass.

SPEAKER_00 39:00

It's our moment. I felt I felt like the I felt like the teacher in the first scary movie. Ah, shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_01 39:10

Would you have preferred the song from Set It Off? Day after day. No.

SPEAKER_00 39:17

Um I I would be very confused why they'd be pair why they would be parodying set it off in this movie. I'd be like, that movie came out if you want to spoof that, you should have done it in screen in the scary movie one.

SPEAKER_01 39:32

Why didn't they try to parody set it off in Euphoria? Well, I know some people want to ruin it and like uh Cleo, but that wasn't happening.

SPEAKER_00 39:41

Wrong lesbian. Wrong lesbian, wrong lesbian. But you know what? I if if they if they wanna if they want to reboot, if they want to reboot or remake, um, set it off, they could, they could have they could have Storm stand around a corner crying while the lesbian fucks shit up.

SPEAKER_01 39:57

I could see Storm playing the Kimberly Elise character who has like her kid drinking bleach. That's the job.

SPEAKER_00 40:04

I you know what, Hollywood, make it happen. You think Zendaya would sign up to that?

SPEAKER_01 40:11

I would want to sign off reboot with Zede. I don't think Zendaya would sign up for that. I don't, but like I think she goes. What I think is the people would want her to play Cleo, but she would want to be Jada's character. Yeah, probably, yeah. But the people want Zadea's Cleo.

SPEAKER_00 40:28

I can't. I I I I would I would love Stud Zaya to play to play Cleo. Um but yeah, and then so we have um, I think one of my complaints is, and look, I have nothing against Marlon Wayans. I have nothing against him. However, Shorty was in this a little too much for me. Like I was a little over Shorty by the end of this movie. And I because I felt like in the first two movies, he made like a great like side comedic relief character because, like you said, in the like the Wayance Brothers in this movie, they kind of felt like they were part of a sketch show. And that's kind of how Shorty's character was in the first movies, where like he wasn't really that integral to the main storyline going on. He would just pop up every now and then for like a weed gag. Um and it worked, it worked. I feel like I feel like he was so present in almost every scene of this movie that like I kind of got like sick of him. And also, like his character, you know, like like I said, in the originals, he was kind of just like this occasional weed gag. And I feel like they kind of tried to stretch it out more into like other things with him being like a podcast bro and a social media influencer and a 25-year senior.

SPEAKER_01 41:39

Um they just need a reason for him to be around and apply. I don't know if that was supposed to be the joke or not, but it didn't really land.

SPEAKER_00 41:47

Right. Like, I don't know if that was supposed to be like a gag of like legacy characters kind of being forced in when they don't really fit into the narrative or what, but yeah, no, by the end of the movie, I was overshorting.

SPEAKER_01 41:59

No, I feel that it just never really felt like a reason for them to be there, even though it was their movie. Yeah. And you know, obviously they're Brenda's brothers, but I thought they could have just played more into that. Yeah. And then although I did, I didn't I didn't like laugh out loud at it. I thought the little Uncle Anne was humorous. He was like, Y'all, y'all social media age always wanna call us unc. And they're like, Well, well, you're actually our brother's sister. I mean, I'm not gonna be a big one.

SPEAKER_00 42:22

Literally our uncle. I I was um I did cackle a little bit when Ray came into the movie and his little church scene. I was like, I don't know what the fuck this has to do with anything, but you know what?

SPEAKER_01 42:39

I like I was excited for the sinner's reference, but then it just fell flat. The get out reference too, I was like, this just y'all don't have to do this.

SPEAKER_00 42:47

Right. Well, especially because like um, they even like because in the trailer for the movie, they had that whole like that gag where um from centers where the characters have like the vampire teeth in, and like um, and and Sean and Marlon start pushing Regina towards them. Um and then they're like, oh, it's just a j it's just a joke. And then uh and that part wasn't even in the movie as that was in the trailer.

SPEAKER_03 43:13

Right.

SPEAKER_00 43:14

So I'm like, what was the point of even doing the centers reference at that point? Right.

SPEAKER_01 43:18

But then and then they also have like Sarah and Tuesday and Jack showing up to the party and not being let in, a la centers, but it didn't really land with me because like Brenda, you know these kids. Right. They had already been introduced, they'd already all become a criminal earlier. You have to need some random crockers from off the street. Like you, you know.

SPEAKER_00 43:36

I I I did love why do you need an invitation? White people always show up uninvited. I I I did love her. Why are her feet dirty? I mean, her feet did look dirty. They were dirty as that. But yeah, no, it it it felt like it felt like they really wanted to reference and spoof sinners, and they didn't know how else to incorporate it.

SPEAKER_01 44:00

Yeah, and they probably only had so much time because the movie is, you know, was relatively recent. It probably came out right before the production. So they're probably like, what are we gonna do?

SPEAKER_00 44:08

What are we gonna do? What we gonna do? We just adding this shit in. I mean, I I I damn near thought um, because in some of the marketing, they were even referencing the backrooms. I was like, are they gonna like film something last minute and throw it in there to show the backrooms? They didn't end up doing that.

SPEAKER_01 44:20

That would have been insane.

SPEAKER_03 44:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:22

Although I would have appreciated more of the Jordan Peel references. Like, you know, either um us or you know, Nope. I would have appreciated.

unknown 44:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:31

I mean, I don't really know how you could do. I guess you could have a monkey fucks it up. Right. Or you could have like a little alien moment. Yeah, they could have done something with the tethered on like an underneath an underground sighty. They could have called Lupita. Lupita not doing nothing. She would have been. Nothing. We could have even gotten Kiki Palmer in here. Right. We definitely this is Kiki's genre. Why didn't they call Kiki?

SPEAKER_00 44:52

Right. I know. I would have loved to have Kiki in this.

SPEAKER_01 44:55

Kiki probably would have outside hat these people. So that's probably it. That's true. Especially at an improv moment, Kiki would be like, okay, that's script as a suggestion, right?

SPEAKER_00 45:04

Well, well, that's true. The newbies were already getting ate the fuck up by the legacy characters and actors. The last thing they needed was Kiki coming to early steal their time.

SPEAKER_01 45:12

Oh yeah. Right? Imagine if Kiki had Sydney Parks around. She would have ate the little Mindy, but I think she would have changed up some of the lines. I don't know. Um go watch I Love Boosters instead.

SPEAKER_00 45:29

Okay. I and I wish I could, but they're not showing it at my theater here. I I wish I could say I love boosters.

SPEAKER_01 45:35

I wanted to see it before it leaves the theaters.

SPEAKER_00 45:38

Yeah. That's it, but it's I'm not gonna get to see it in theaters, but I will be streaming it as soon as I can. Um maybe they'll bring it back when she wins the Oscar, like Mikey. Maybe, maybe. We'll get a little something. Um but um, yeah, and one final thing I wanted to say is that I felt like um the I felt like Ghostface was in this like a little bit too much, too. Like I felt because like I I know he's like the main killer, but it was kind of like in the original scary movie, it kind of was like Scream where he'd pop up every now and again to to do his shenanigans. But like this movie, I was like, oh, he he's in a lot of scenes too. And in a lot of the scenes have nothing to do with the plot. It's just him decapitating Kai. It's an at.

SPEAKER_01 46:20

No, he was essentially a character, but I did appreciate that the switch out mask whenever Ghostface would have like an emotional reaction or something. Right. They'd have like a quick shot of a mask that was something else. I did like that. But yeah, no, there were no other like villains or really people doing kills.

SPEAKER_00 46:36

Yeah. That thing, yeah, no, and I I did like um because that thing with the mask and everything, because like it it it definitely harkened back to the original, like that scene where Ghostface is getting is getting high with Shorty and his friends, and he's and he's got the fucking mask with like the eyes like closed and the tongue sticking out.

SPEAKER_01 46:57

You know, he wasn't in there win too much. Although I I was gagging to kill Jackson, I was like, oh, where where does this go with? He was like, that was not part of the plan. Right.

SPEAKER_00 47:08

Yeah, I feel like there just wasn't the best balance of the characters. Like it felt like some characters got too much screen time and others didn't get enough.

SPEAKER_01 47:17

I know, and it felt so terribly paced for a movie that was only 90 minutes, which is the bare minimum in modern society. Right. And I'm never and you know me, I am never wanted to push for more screen time because I'm ready to go home. But like I I I don't know. The the they were just it seemed like they were trying to hit 30 minutes, but also didn't have enough, I mean, an hour, 30 minutes, but also didn't have enough time to do anything with simultaneously having both of those things just confuses me.

SPEAKER_00 47:44

But well I I think like I think I mean I think you I think you put it best here when you say that it was like a collection of skits and everything where I feel like just throughout the movie, the pacing was kind of hard to gauge because we weren't really like moving anywhere with like a linear story. So I was kind of like, wait, where are we again? Where are we at this point? Right. I didn't like the. Right. And then next thing you know, like we're at the house and everything. I'm like, okay, well, since we're parrying scream five, I guess this is like act three now that we're at. But so it was just it was it was a bit of a mess in that direct in that sense.

SPEAKER_01 48:15

Yeah. And I I feel like maybe I understood where they were going more because I have seen Scream you know, five and six. But I do wonder for somebody who maybe hasn't, what they didn't expect. But I will say I am much more of a horror movie connoisseur now with through my friendship with you, the podcast, exploring the genre. So I didn't feel cute getting most of the references.

SPEAKER_00 48:36

Right, right. Well, and that's and that's the thing is I feel like um I feel like the references were at least like on the nose enough that that I think like a lot of people, like I mean, I feel like if you're like, even if you're not like a big horror movie fan, if you're paying attention to pop culture, like you'll probably get a lot of it. Like a lot of people like people that haven't seen Sinners will probably get the Sinners reference. A lot of people that um haven't seen Scream will get some of the Scream references, obviously. Um, but I I I think it is fun, and I think it is more fun though, like to kind of from that perspective of being someone who loves horror movies watching this.

SPEAKER_01 49:15

Which gets me from the question. I'm very curious to hear your response on this, but this is kind of causing a discussion point of like, you know, can you really spoof modern horror movies? Because like they already comment on themselves of the genre so much and they're already becoming so meta. Is this like too meta almost?

SPEAKER_00 49:32

I feel like it's hard because in a way you can, because like the original scary movie spoofed Scream, which was like the fucking beginning of this meta explosion in horror. Um so I feel like you can do it. I just feel like it's not easy, like it requires a lot. Cause I feel like you have to, because I feel like the problem is when you're when your commentary is already like the same exact commentary that these movies are already making on themselves, I feel like that's where it doesn't work. Like you have to be able to like go deeper than that. Um, it's kind of like the it's kind of like that age-old thing of like, well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna make the joke about myself first because then nobody else can make it because I've already, you know, I've already made a joke that I'm like I'm ugly or I'm whatever, or I'm stupid, or you know, now now who's gonna like what are you gonna do? You're gonna call me stupid. I already said I'm stupid. Um so I feel like it's kind of that with these movies now where they are so self-aware and so meta that it makes it, I think it's still possible to spoof them and parry to them and do these like commentary and stuff on them. It's just harder, I think, than it used to be.

SPEAKER_01 50:38

No, definitely is harder. And I feel like the genre is just so widespread because it's gotten a lot more, you know. There's some psychological movies, just some body horror popping out. Right. So, you know, there's a lot of different angles to explore, and then they kind of try to do everything at once, which is kind of turned into like, like I said several times, no, a screen parody with a sketch show.

SPEAKER_00 50:59

Yeah. What I feel like it's um part of it is because I feel like horror used to like, as far as like, because I mean obviously horror's always had all of these subgenres and everything always like going on at the same time. But as far as like what's popular, because I feel like right now horror has become very popular in the sense that it's gone a little bit more mainstream popularity, where you're seeing like horror being represented at these big award shows, you're seeing horror dominate the box office at times, you're seeing horror have all this cultural cultural like um relevancy. Um and I think the way it used to be is I feel like there could only be like one subgenre popular at a time. Like there would be like phases of time where it's like slashers are really popular right now, and be like, oh, monster movies are really popular right now. Um, haunted house movies are really popular right now. Um and so I feel like right now, where it's like, now it's like, oh no, all these subgenres are popular and relevant at the same time. That probably contributed a little bit to the chaoticness of this movie having to reference all these things at the same time, or at least feeling like it needed to reference all of these things at the same time. I agree.

SPEAKER_01 52:06

And since you said Haunted House movie, underrated haunted house movie, Monster House by Sony, animated movie 2006, kind of iconic.

SPEAKER_00 52:14

That's a that's a that's one of those movies that like I would recommend. Like if someone was like, How do I introduce like my kid to horror without like traumatizing them? I'm like, sh give him Monster House, give him a little goosebumps.

SPEAKER_01 52:25

Right? Now I remember me and my sister just randomly watched it. This is for something to watch. We were both gagged at how scary it was.

SPEAKER_00 52:30

Miss Constance wasn't playing. Right. The the first time I saw Monster House was at a drive-in, and that was pretty lit. Ooh. Yeah. You know, I love the aesthetic of a drive-in. Well, especially because like we're watching this movie while like laying on some grass, like on a grassy ass lawn. Like, oh, we're about to get fucked up by Constance.

SPEAKER_01 52:51

Monster House needs the sequel R reboot.

SPEAKER_00 52:54

It didn't need something.

SPEAKER_01 52:57

SPEAKER_00 53:09

SPEAKER_00 54:02

Well, Aiden, before we, you know, wish our note takers a farewell, um, do you have any final thoughts on Scary Movie Six other than like mixed re mixed results?

SPEAKER_01 54:16

Um, yeah, I want to confront you for call calling me and lowering me into a basement of a furniture store, into a labyrinth called the Backrooms.

SPEAKER_00 54:25

Because I didn't appreciate that. Okay, well, see, now now you're sub now you're subverting the narrative because that in that movie it was actually for for once in in a horror movie, it was the black character that got the white people killed doing screw shit. Did she die? That's up to interpretation. He died. Well, no, but but his two employees that he got to go down there with, and they died. Yeah, well, yeah, so yeah, so yes. And and that poor girl was like, I don't want to do this.

SPEAKER_01 54:51

And while we're talking about that, like, the scariest I've been, scared, most scared I've been in the theater was in that little claymation pirate Clark motherfucker on screen.

SPEAKER_00 55:01

That terrified me. I I think the part that like got me interestingly enough in backrooms was um the part where he puts down the camera where he's going to look for her on the wall and everything, and then suddenly you see the camera get picked up. I almost had a heart attack. I was like, that was scary. I was like, uh-uh, uh-uh.
