WEBVTT

00:00.273 --> 00:02.896
That's why she always outsmarted the killer in the big chase scene at the end.

00:03.330 --> 00:06.275
Only virgins can do that. Don't you know the rules? What rules?

00:07.112 --> 00:10.648
You don't—

00:10.728 --> 00:14.168
Jesus Christ, you don't know the rules? Have an aneurysm,

00:14.185 --> 00:17.525
why don't you? There are certain rules that one must abide

00:17.574 --> 00:21.216
by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance,

00:21.702 --> 00:25.212
number 1, you can never have sex. No,

00:26.093 --> 00:29.490
no, no! Big no-no! Big no-no! I'm a dead man.

00:29.555 --> 00:32.987
Sex equals death. Okay, number 2,

00:33.329 --> 00:35.182
you can never drink or do drugs.

00:38.200 --> 00:41.954
No, the sin factor. It's a sin. It's an extension

00:42.003 --> 00:45.091
of number 1. And number 3, never, ever,

00:45.380 --> 00:48.980
ever under any circumstances say, I'll be right back, because you won't be back.

00:49.172 --> 00:52.306
I'm getting another beer. You want one? Yeah, sure. I'll be

00:52.806 --> 00:56.666
right back. You see,

00:56.749 --> 00:59.450
you push the laws and you end up dead. Okay, I'll see you in the

00:59.950 --> 01:00.244
kitchen with a knife.

01:05.452 --> 01:09.801
It's 2 Dads 1 Movie Shocktoberfest,

01:09.898 --> 01:13.197
a celebration of the spookiest movies of the '80s and

01:13.697 --> 01:17.513
'90s. Now here are your hosts, Scary Steve Paulo

01:17.805 --> 01:22.048
and Nightmare Nic Briana. Hello everybody,

01:22.080 --> 01:25.260
welcome to another episode of 2 Dads 1 Movie. I'm Steve. And I'm Nic.

01:25.389 --> 01:27.875
And today we are wrapping up Shocktoberfest II.

01:28.233 --> 01:32.104
Electric Boogaloo with the 1996 Wes Craven meta

01:32.604 --> 01:36.329
slasher Scream. And this is one of my picks. I brought this

01:36.829 --> 01:39.285
one to the table and I'll be honest, like, this is one of my— one

01:39.333 --> 01:41.742
of the movies I point out to where I say like, oh, this is like

01:42.048 --> 01:45.148
maybe the best movie that is a kind of a parody or at least is

01:46.385 --> 01:50.112
poking fun at its genre while also being like a

01:50.224 --> 01:53.839
crazy good example of the genre. Yeah, yeah. Right. It can be kind of

01:54.339 --> 01:56.247
like, oh, we're going to be super like you know,

01:56.809 --> 02:00.402
referencing slasher movies and we're going to be very meta about the rules

02:00.434 --> 02:03.160
of a slasher movie or whatever. And then we're also going to make it like

02:03.660 --> 02:06.802
a fantastic fucking slasher movie. Yeah, for sure. For my part,

02:07.395 --> 02:10.812
I think I first saw this probably not until college and like I saw it

02:10.844 --> 02:14.148
like once and then kind of forgot about it. I can't remember if I saw

02:14.648 --> 02:17.051
it in college. I know about 10 years ago my wife was like, we were

02:17.551 --> 02:20.323
talking about it and Heather like suggested we watch it or that I watch it

02:20.823 --> 02:23.920
or something. I don't even remember exactly. It just was a thing that You know,

02:24.420 --> 02:26.580
she had actually liked, and I was like so much more into horror movies in

02:26.640 --> 02:29.200
general that I was like surprised that she liked it. So I like went back

02:29.700 --> 02:31.760
and watched it, and I realized like I don't know that I'd ever seen it

02:32.260 --> 02:33.580
all the way through. Like you know this kind of thing where it's like I

02:34.080 --> 02:37.740
remember seeing Scream 2 for some reason, and like owning the Scream 2 soundtrack.

02:38.240 --> 02:40.760
I feel like that was like a really dynamite. Like you know the '90s had

02:41.260 --> 02:43.160
so many great soundtracks, and I feel like Scream 2 was one of them.

02:43.660 --> 02:47.020
What an efficient way to get your singles. Like rather than having to buy individual

02:47.520 --> 02:50.040
albums, get a soundtrack, get like four bangers. Plus I think like there was a

02:50.540 --> 02:53.580
Dave Matthews Band song that wasn't on one of their albums. Oh very good.

02:54.080 --> 02:56.955
That was that was my jam back in the late '90s. So, um, what about

02:57.455 --> 03:00.114
you, Nic? What's your history with Scream? So I think that I saw this,

03:00.386 --> 03:03.497
uh, when it came out in the theater. Yeah. Um,

03:04.155 --> 03:07.378
but then not since then. Okay. Because when I was rewatching this, I was like,

03:07.538 --> 03:10.569
there's certain beats and certain things that I remembered from it, right? Right.

03:10.649 --> 03:13.776
And I remembered, you know, a couple of the characters and the actors that

03:14.276 --> 03:16.679
were in it. But yeah, I didn't know. And I had this period in my

03:17.179 --> 03:20.736
life where I wasn't really into horror for like a long stretch. Honestly,

03:21.073 --> 03:24.472
I've gotten way more into it since we've started doing the podcast. Like when

03:24.972 --> 03:28.288
we did Shocktoberfest last year and got to get exposed to The Thing and

03:28.788 --> 03:31.607
watch the first Nightmare on Elm Street again and stuff. And like, I'm much more

03:31.735 --> 03:34.396
into this kind of movie now. So this is a great time for me to

03:34.896 --> 03:39.238
rewatch Scream. But yeah, I just remember this was like a big-ass deal when

03:39.270 --> 03:42.781
we were young, and then it spawned so many Scream sequels. And then in addition

03:42.813 --> 03:45.907
to that spawned Scary Movie. Right. Which spawned all these

03:45.939 --> 03:49.385
sequels. And my wife and I actually did watch Scary

03:49.885 --> 03:50.668
Movie 2 the other night.

03:52.670 --> 03:55.960
It's fine. Did that hold up? I don't know as much as those hold

03:56.460 --> 04:00.000
up, right? Right, right, right. I feel like if it's not Mel Brooks or like

04:00.500 --> 04:03.180
the ZAZ guys' parodies, I know the Wayans had some good ones, but the parodies

04:03.680 --> 04:06.800
a lot of times kind of fall flat when you're 10, 15, 20 years removed

04:07.300 --> 04:09.820
from what they're referencing. You know, it can be a little rough for sure.

04:10.320 --> 04:13.780
And the Scary Movie and those like Epic Movie and Disaster Movie and the things,

04:14.280 --> 04:17.040
those make like 15% of a funny movie and then a bunch of garbage.

04:17.540 --> 04:21.040
So if you like that 15%, it's definitely for you. I remember watching Not

04:21.540 --> 04:22.640
Another Teen Movie. I don't know if you've ever— and, and I loved all the

04:23.140 --> 04:27.103
movies that it was parodying. Uh, and when they referred

04:27.135 --> 04:30.788
to the, the lunchroom at the high school as the Anthony Michael Dining

04:30.900 --> 04:34.489
Hall, I felt like that joke— I— the movie's

04:34.989 --> 04:38.270
good from that. Like, anything the movie does that's bad is made up for by

04:38.414 --> 04:41.778
Anthony Michael Dining Hall, which is like the best pun I've ever

04:42.278 --> 04:45.479
heard in my life. So I saw that movie well before I saw a

04:45.559 --> 04:48.779
lot of those. And now, like, since I have a teenage daughter, my wife wants

04:48.827 --> 04:51.246
to show her these things. So she's watching 10 Things I Hate About You,

04:51.310 --> 04:54.306
and I'm like, oh, he's doing the Jamie's Got a Gun thing from, uh,

04:54.675 --> 04:57.961
Not Another See, I was way into She's All That

04:58.461 --> 05:01.808
and not all those movies. I missed all that stuff. I never— yeah, so,

05:01.888 --> 05:05.254
uh, it's good to get reintroduced. But anyway, Scream, this is like— this

05:05.754 --> 05:09.198
is Shocktoberfest. Classic, influential, and, uh, yeah, I'm great—

05:09.599 --> 05:12.997
very psyched that we're talking about this today. Very cool. All right, let's jump into

05:13.045 --> 05:16.267
the facts on the movie Scream. Uh, Scream was released on December

05:16.767 --> 05:20.323
20th, 1996 with an R rating, and apparently Craven

05:20.823 --> 05:23.545
had to cut a lot from the first scene and the climax in order to

05:24.045 --> 05:27.184
get that R. The MPAA kept coming back with NC-17 ratings on the

05:27.684 --> 05:31.319
this movie. It has a running time of 112 minutes, was directed by the late,

05:31.400 --> 05:34.990
the great Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson. It stars,

05:35.343 --> 05:38.741
I mean, it stars almost everybody that you saw on

05:38.854 --> 05:42.637
either like a Teen Beat or like Maxim magazine. It feels like at this era.

05:42.845 --> 05:45.923
Right. But Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, and Courteney Cox kind of take

05:46.308 --> 05:49.754
the lead-ish parts of a very ensemble film.

05:49.898 --> 05:53.794
Yeah. Scores, we got a 78% from Rotten Tomatoes, very respectable.

05:54.178 --> 05:57.817
A 7.5 from IMDb, very respectable. And then from the

05:57.833 --> 06:00.975
homie Siskel and Ebert, of course, This is like, I could have guessed this just

06:01.475 --> 06:03.123
without, before even looking it up. But Roger Ebert gave it a thumbs up.

06:03.284 --> 06:06.313
Gene Siskel gave it a thumbs down. Why are we surprised? We're not surprised.

06:06.409 --> 06:10.176
Siskel's a putz. On the awards tip, you know, this was not like an

06:10.257 --> 06:13.527
Oscar winner. This was not like a BAFTA darling. Didn't make any of

06:13.559 --> 06:17.679
the festival circuits. Right. But it had its celebrants and its plaudits.

06:17.727 --> 06:20.981
And so at the 1997 Saturn

06:21.013 --> 06:24.732
Awards, one of our favorites here on the show. Oh yeah. It won for best

06:24.780 --> 06:28.547
horror film. Neve Campbell won for best actress. Kevin Williamson won for best

06:29.047 --> 06:32.987
writer. It was also nominated Let's see, Skeet Ulrich for Best Supporting Actor,

06:33.100 --> 06:36.049
Drew Barrymore for Best Supporting Actress, and Wes Craven for Best Director, all nominated,

06:36.482 --> 06:39.832
did not win. It also was a winner at the

06:40.332 --> 06:43.583
MTV Movie Awards in 1997, Movie of the Year, Best Movie. Oh, right up the

06:43.599 --> 06:47.270
alley of the MTV Movie Awards. Absolutely right. And then nominated but not winning

06:47.302 --> 06:50.973
that year was Best Female Performance, Neve Campbell for that. And then at the Fangoria

06:51.473 --> 06:53.955
Chainsaw Award, it won 4 out of 5 of its nominations.

06:55.317 --> 06:58.395
Skeet Ulrich, again nominated for Best Supporting Actor, did not win, poor guy.

06:58.844 --> 07:02.435
But then at the Chainsaw Awards, it won Best Wide Release Film,

07:02.451 --> 07:06.365
Best Actress for Neve Campbell, Best Supporting Actress for Drew Barrymore, and Best Screenplay for

07:06.381 --> 07:09.332
Kevin Williamson. So lots of activity in the whole horror,

07:09.413 --> 07:13.086
fantasy, sci-fi era, you know, sort of of the awards shows.

07:13.664 --> 07:16.872
Uh, let's see, budget. So this is where Wes Craven comes in,

07:16.888 --> 07:20.064
right? I mean, this guy just does a ridiculous amount with very

07:20.080 --> 07:23.770
little. On a $14 million budget, which like the amount of fake

07:23.786 --> 07:26.978
blood in the climax alone like had to cost— like that's, if you know,

07:27.058 --> 07:29.127
that just had to cost a ton of money. Corn syrup. Yeah. Oh my God.

07:29.304 --> 07:32.817
Uh, on a $14 million budget, it pulled in $173 million

07:32.849 --> 07:35.916
in the box office. Jeez. 12.3 times what it cost.

07:36.446 --> 07:38.952
Uh, and again, for a very hard R that had to be cut down from

07:39.452 --> 07:42.710
NC-17. But, you know, and, and apparently a Christmas release. Like, this wasn't like a

07:43.210 --> 07:46.437
Halloween, you know, type release or whatever. It also wasn't like a Feb— I could

07:46.937 --> 07:49.071
see this being a February thing too. I feel like horror movies do well around

07:49.571 --> 07:53.216
Valentine's Day. Yeah, they're often good date movies. But no, like, Christmas is

07:53.312 --> 07:55.577
kind of a funky place for this one to show up. And this was a

07:55.641 --> 07:59.159
word-of-mouth movie for sure. Like, this was probably not a huge

07:59.336 --> 08:02.885
opening weekend kind of thing because, like, as much as these actors

08:03.385 --> 08:05.838
are all known to us now, right? At the time it wasn't like, oh shit,

08:05.870 --> 08:09.786
the new Lillard joint's about to drop. Like, people weren't all excited. So this

08:10.286 --> 08:13.895
is like Wes Craven creating something, Kevin Williamson, that people loved over time

08:14.395 --> 08:17.169
and like grew and grew as it was in the theater. So fucking awesome to

08:17.669 --> 08:20.620
see that, man. What a— I need him to do some investing for me.

08:20.701 --> 08:24.488
Yeah, for sure. Uh, all right, let's jump into Scream.

08:24.553 --> 08:27.827
So we start with not technically a cold open because we do get the title

08:27.843 --> 08:31.037
card right away, but it's this like opening sequence that's like— that

08:31.117 --> 08:34.390
acts very much like a teaser or a cold open kind of thing. We have

08:34.890 --> 08:37.380
Drew Barrymore playing a character named Casey. She's at home.

08:38.170 --> 08:40.330
First thing I always love about watching movies like this is you go, oh,

08:40.830 --> 08:43.090
look at all these landlines. Everybody's got a house phone and like whatever, which is

08:43.590 --> 08:48.030
not the thing. And she's doing the Jiffy Pop, the old stovetop. So cinema-friendly.

08:48.530 --> 08:52.030
Jiffy Pop is just unbelievable. It's like putting a timer in the bottom of

08:52.530 --> 08:55.590
the screen. It's amazing. And it starts, you know, eventually it's gonna smoke and burn,

08:56.090 --> 08:58.510
right? It wouldn't do that in the microwave. But real quick, I just wanna say

08:59.010 --> 09:00.850
like, as we get started here and Casey's gonna get a phone call in a

09:01.350 --> 09:04.361
moment, I wanna point out something that I read, which is that Barrymore was originally

09:04.698 --> 09:07.278
attached in this to play Sidney, to play the Neve Campbell character.

09:08.079 --> 09:11.140
And apparently it was her idea. I'm not 100% sure about

09:11.640 --> 09:14.121
this. I couldn't like verify this, but it sounded like it was her idea that

09:14.169 --> 09:17.502
she play Casey instead. Because she said,

09:17.614 --> 09:21.540
if the most recognizable face in the cast dies in the first 5

09:22.040 --> 09:24.986
or 10 minutes or whatever, the audience is not gonna know what to think,

09:25.050 --> 09:27.790
who to trust. Yeah. Like what could happen. It's a very like, you know,

09:27.870 --> 09:30.995
precursor. I feel like George R.R. Martin and Game of Thrones, whatever, like, you know,

09:31.059 --> 09:34.488
they took the cue here where it's like, you know, let there be somebody you

09:34.505 --> 09:36.950
think is like, The guy who's gonna be around a while. Oh no, cut his

09:37.450 --> 09:40.170
head off. You know, it's like kind of thing. And so that apparently was Barrymore's

09:40.670 --> 09:43.010
idea, and and I think it works great because she really is by far the

09:43.510 --> 09:47.270
most famous person in movies at this time. One hundred percent.

09:47.770 --> 09:49.710
Courtney Cox obviously had the Friends thing going on and everything, but like she was

09:50.210 --> 09:53.650
not known for movies at this time. And Barrymore's face, like the

09:54.150 --> 09:57.110
trailer for this, it's like it starts with her. She's like the thing that's presenting

09:57.610 --> 10:00.870
the phone and everything. Yeah. So I love that. I wonder if that trickled down,

10:01.370 --> 10:04.730
that advice trickled down to Steven Seagal with executive decision. He was like,

10:05.230 --> 10:08.510
"Yeah, if the biggest star in the motherfucking movie gets killed." First five minutes.

10:09.010 --> 10:12.550
I mean, why do I think I just I just

10:13.050 --> 10:16.250
maybe maybe I'll give it to him. Maybe Steven Seagal

10:16.750 --> 10:20.190
was that yeah altruistic. I think sure yeah no he seems like

10:20.690 --> 10:24.630
notoriously generous guy that everyone loves to work with. I think so. I think so.

10:25.310 --> 10:28.670
Okay, so how does this this scene start

10:29.170 --> 10:31.430
off here? Right, so Casey gets a phone call and it's this kind of funny

10:31.930 --> 10:33.610
sounding voice. You know, it's like I you know you can kind of tell listening

10:34.110 --> 10:36.090
back to it's like what it does sound sort of like a voice modulation of

10:36.590 --> 10:39.390
some kind like hey how's it going? You like scary movies? You know. This stuff.

10:39.890 --> 10:43.120
And she's just kind of playing along at first. Yeah. Um, but then the,

10:43.290 --> 10:45.650
the, the caller, you know, they're talking about your favorite scary movie. She says,

10:46.150 --> 10:49.130
well, my favorite scary movie is Halloween. Uh, you know, the guy with the mask,

10:49.630 --> 10:51.950
whatever. And then he says, have you seen Nightmare on Elm Street? And she's like,

10:52.450 --> 10:54.410
yeah, the first one was scary, but the rest of them sucked. Which is a

10:54.910 --> 10:57.830
great little line because Wes Craven only did the first one. Yeah. Uh, and then

10:58.330 --> 11:01.110
he says something about being able to see her. I want to know,

11:01.610 --> 11:04.490
what's your name? I want to know who I'm looking at. And she's like,

11:04.990 --> 11:07.370
you mean talking to? And he's like, no. And he calls her Blondie. And that's

11:07.870 --> 11:10.454
kind of what sets her off realizing Right, because she's in this whole thing.

11:10.566 --> 11:14.176
So all this movie was filmed up in like Sonoma and Marin County. Yeah,

11:14.416 --> 11:17.705
like like Santa Rosa kind of area. Definitely looks that way. Yeah, and so it's

11:18.205 --> 11:20.833
like a lot of really remote homes, you know, really nice, but they're kind of

11:21.333 --> 11:24.892
like out in the middle of nowhere. And so she's you know, and and of

11:24.924 --> 11:27.957
course it's this gorgeous big house. So like the entire ground floor feels

11:28.457 --> 11:31.085
like it's windows. It's a huge patio door and like big front windows, all this

11:31.585 --> 11:34.823
stuff. So now she's worried somebody's actually looking into her house and looking for.

11:35.898 --> 11:38.964
And, uh, and yeah, then, and then she— so he says, uh, tell me your

11:39.464 --> 11:41.693
name. That's right. I want to know who I'm looking at. Yeah. And that kind

11:42.193 --> 11:45.288
of freaks her out. And, you know, there's a couple times where she'll say like,

11:45.609 --> 11:48.995
forget this, like, I'm hanging up, or you're silly. And then, you know, gets the

11:49.495 --> 11:51.965
callback and it gets like more and more intense. And they do such a great

11:52.465 --> 11:55.512
job of like building that. Yeah. Uh, another interesting thing, I can't remember the name

11:56.012 --> 11:57.823
of the actor, but the actor who does the voice on the phone is,

11:57.903 --> 12:01.579
is never either of the people that ended up— okay, right, at the end it's

12:02.079 --> 12:05.685
a different actor who was never seen on set. So, and when Craven did

12:06.185 --> 12:10.222
these phone calls, the phone calls were done live. So the actors responding

12:10.319 --> 12:13.749
to the phone calls from, quote, the killer do not know what the person

12:13.845 --> 12:16.491
looks like who's on the phone. They have not heard, they have not read the

12:16.991 --> 12:19.777
lines or heard the, like, it's all new in the moment. Oh, interesting. So they're

12:20.277 --> 12:23.224
reacting a little more naturally to like this thing. And it was something about Wes

12:23.724 --> 12:26.077
Craven was like, I didn't want them to get to know that actor and get

12:26.109 --> 12:29.973
to know him as himself. I just wanted them to understand that his voice

12:30.473 --> 12:33.295
meant danger, you know, whatever. This is a very cool little thing.

12:33.969 --> 12:36.762
Yeah. But basically she starts saying the line, my wife's favorite line in this thing,

12:36.778 --> 12:40.420
which is, I have a boyfriend, he's big, he plays football, and he's gonna fuck

12:40.468 --> 12:43.116
you up or kick your ass, whatever she says, something like that. And, and he's

12:43.616 --> 12:46.245
like, oh really? Like, you know, you should turn on the patio light. And sure

12:46.745 --> 12:49.936
enough, there's this, you know, classic high school jock. He's got the letterman

12:50.436 --> 12:53.643
jacket on, whatever, but he's duct taped his mouth. He's already bleeding and he's already

12:54.143 --> 12:56.163
been— looks like he's been roughed up and he's like strapped to a chair.

12:57.014 --> 13:00.596
in her back— you know, in her backyard. There's a moment here

13:00.612 --> 13:03.905
where he gets attacked, right? She turns— she's told to

13:04.405 --> 13:07.342
turn the light back off, right? And he pleads with her not to, kind of

13:07.438 --> 13:10.426
through the gag or through the thing. And then we don't see— like, in the

13:10.926 --> 13:14.859
version I watched, I remember seeing a version of this movie where we see

13:15.807 --> 13:18.810
a knife go through Steve's gut and, like, his guts spill out. Yeah. And I

13:18.859 --> 13:21.364
feel like that I must have at some point in my life watched a director's

13:21.864 --> 13:24.625
cut of this, like an unrated version, because that's the kind of thing that Craven

13:25.125 --> 13:28.073
had to do to dial back in order to get the R rating instead of

13:28.573 --> 13:31.377
the NC-17. 'Cause basically Steve gets gutted, and there is a moment a little bit

13:31.877 --> 13:34.328
in just a few minutes where she'll run past him and we do see some

13:34.828 --> 13:37.856
entrails or whatever. But like, I remember watching a version of this where it's like,

13:37.872 --> 13:42.170
right across the middle. It's gruesome. I mean, and then, you know, using teenagers

13:42.282 --> 13:46.115
and stuff, it makes it so much more intense and fucking crazy. So she's

13:46.615 --> 13:50.349
being asked by the person on the phone like trivia questions

13:50.381 --> 13:54.134
about scary movies. 'Cause at first in the conversation, it's like

13:54.214 --> 13:57.540
a little bit, Flirty. It's a little bit familiar, and she thinks,

13:57.680 --> 14:00.240
"Oh, maybe it's someone I know just messing with me, or it's my boyfriend or

14:00.740 --> 14:04.220
whatever." Yep. So he's asking her like, "Oh, we're gonna do some trivia on scary

14:04.720 --> 14:08.240
movies. Play a game. What's your scary favorite scary movie?" She says

14:08.740 --> 14:11.660
Halloween. Right. Right. So he asks, "Who's the killer in Halloween?" That's right. Yeah.

14:12.160 --> 14:15.700
So he's asking these trivia questions. The second question is, "Who's the killer

14:16.200 --> 14:19.940
in Friday the 13th?" Love that trick question. She's like, "Jason. Jason.

14:20.440 --> 14:23.640
It's Jason." He's like, "Wrong." Right. And it turns out, like if you've seen the

14:24.140 --> 14:25.060
first Friday the 13th, it's Jason's mother who's doing the killings in that one.

14:26.932 --> 14:30.368
before Amalavorty rises from the fucking lake or whatever.

14:30.929 --> 14:34.172
Um, so yeah, so that is what triggers them to

14:34.221 --> 14:37.576
like, well, Steve's fucked. Yep. Like, you got that question wrong.

14:37.656 --> 14:40.594
You got it wrong. And then, and then the, the killer kind of busts through

14:40.964 --> 14:44.062
into the house, and then Casey's trying to run. She is able to like run

14:44.110 --> 14:47.161
around and kind of avoid for the most part, and then gets outside. And it's

14:47.661 --> 14:50.339
kind of interesting, she like— the, now the popcorn is like burning, so it's filling

14:50.372 --> 14:54.070
the house with smoke. She keeps peeking back into the house and sees

14:54.570 --> 14:57.050
the killer, like, running around and looking for her or whatever. So she kind of

14:57.550 --> 14:59.590
feels like, maybe I can get away. And then a car starts coming up the

15:00.090 --> 15:02.710
road, and she recognizes the car. It's like her parents' car. You know, we don't

15:03.210 --> 15:05.230
know that right away, but, like, she recognizes the car. She starts running towards it.

15:05.730 --> 15:07.950
Well, that's when she's getting— now I think the killer comes through the window.

15:08.450 --> 15:10.890
She bursts through the window. Right, yeah. Oh, man. And is just chasing her down

15:11.390 --> 15:14.180
and, like, ends up, you know, she's on the phone still.

15:14.350 --> 15:16.990
So it's like the phone call hasn't ended, or at least her end, you know,

15:17.490 --> 15:20.910
isn't hung up. And so then she gets stabbed, like, tackled and

15:21.410 --> 15:23.290
stabbed, and the killer, like, starts dragging her off, but she's still got the phone.

15:23.340 --> 15:26.840
So then her parents get home, they see like the broken back door where

15:27.340 --> 15:30.000
the guy busted in, the smoke in the house, the popcorn, like whatever. And they're

15:30.500 --> 15:33.520
like, where's Casey? And so the mom like picks up the phone to dial 911

15:34.020 --> 15:36.520
and she can hear, since the receiver on, you know, on their end is on,

15:36.840 --> 15:40.320
her like moaning and kind of trying to space say something. It's very

15:40.820 --> 15:44.200
terrifying. Very Fugitive coded. Oh my gosh, so bad. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

15:44.700 --> 15:47.940
And the most horrifying thing about this scene is like when she

15:48.440 --> 15:50.960
first gets stabbed, she gets stabbed through the lung. Oh yeah. Or we're meant to

15:51.460 --> 15:54.187
believe, right? Because she sees her parents and you see her doing the, Right,

15:54.203 --> 15:57.041
like, cannot— it's like that feeling when you're having a dream where you're trying to

15:57.090 --> 16:00.537
scream and you can't get any sound out. Like, so viscerally, like,

16:01.018 --> 16:04.289
that works so well. Yeah. And again, to your point about Drew

16:04.305 --> 16:08.089
Barrymore doesn't want to be, uh, or, or wanted to be killed, like,

16:08.138 --> 16:11.152
at the beginning you're like, okay, well, she's kind of getting away, or she's not,

16:11.216 --> 16:14.487
right? Like, so there's a ton of tension in this scene. Yeah. And for me

16:14.987 --> 16:17.999
in particular, because my sleep paralysis demon looks exactly like Drew Barrymore,

16:18.015 --> 16:21.430
it was very triggering, uh, for that moment. But yeah. Um,

16:21.930 --> 16:23.530
so yeah, so basically, you know, her parents get home and then, and then they

16:24.030 --> 16:26.790
bust out, back out to go like get the cops or do whatever, like go

16:27.290 --> 16:29.330
to the neighbors or something like that, like the Dazas. And that's when they see

16:29.830 --> 16:32.810
her like hanging from a tree having been disemboweled. Yeah.

16:33.310 --> 16:36.950
Uh, completely. And so— Killers make quick work of stringing people up. That's one thing

16:37.450 --> 16:40.840
that— it's like digging holes and stringing people up.

16:41.190 --> 16:44.270
Hannibal Lecter stringing those guards up, you know, when he's in his like

16:44.770 --> 16:47.770
cage within a cage thing. 2 minutes. Like, how long does that— like, you already

16:48.270 --> 16:50.810
have the ropes made? That was artistic too, because he had the guy splayed open.

16:51.310 --> 16:54.790
Like, this is at least a little messier. swing there, like, before it showed that

16:55.290 --> 16:58.770
there was a swing set. But yeah, um, absolutely incredible way to start

16:59.270 --> 17:01.230
this movie. So yeah, and that's how— that's how we kick it off, that whole

17:01.730 --> 17:03.730
opening sequence. Like I said, it's not technically a cold open, but it really plays

17:04.230 --> 17:07.430
like one, right? Because this is just setting the tone, setting the storyline. We now

17:07.930 --> 17:11.670
have a situation where 2, you know, again, teenagers— Andrew Barrymore was like

17:12.170 --> 17:14.630
21, I think, when she made this movie. Almost everybody else that plays a teenager

17:15.130 --> 17:17.190
in this movie was old enough to like rent a car. Like, these are not—

17:17.690 --> 17:21.430
no, not real Beverly Hills 90210 style teenagers. I think Lillard,

17:21.930 --> 17:25.063
Ulrich, and Kennedy were all like 26 or something when This movie was made.

17:25.961 --> 17:29.923
Um, but yeah. Oh, and, uh, the other thing is that the, the smoke

17:30.423 --> 17:33.356
alarm is not going off until the parents are already there, even though the kitchen

17:33.856 --> 17:35.730
is filled with smoke. This is why you should never have a large house.

17:35.922 --> 17:38.922
Always have a small house so that when it catches on fire, the smoke alarm

17:38.970 --> 17:42.178
gets it, uh, sooner. It's very important. It's very important. Yeah. So,

17:42.643 --> 17:45.723
uh, and then there's also like— yeah. So this is like 15 minutes,

17:45.771 --> 17:49.155
13 minutes, I think. Great scene though, to like kick us

17:49.655 --> 17:52.699
off. Yeah. And then we flash to— we're at school. Well, no, no.

17:52.764 --> 17:55.986
First it's, uh, uh, at— we, we see Neve Campbell playing Sidney.

17:56.194 --> 17:58.631
Oh, she's in her bedroom. That's right. At night. It's like the same night,

17:58.695 --> 18:01.756
basically. Uh, and later that night, and she's in her room, she's wearing like,

18:01.821 --> 18:05.043
you know, this little like night shirt, nightgown thing,

18:05.091 --> 18:08.056
whatever. But she's like getting ready for bed, and there's like a knock at her

18:08.556 --> 18:11.904
window, and she opens her window, and it's her boyfriend Billy, played by Skeet

18:12.404 --> 18:14.869
Ulrich. And he's like sneaking in through her window and kind of like, you know,

18:15.126 --> 18:18.428
it's this standard, uh, more '80s but also '90s sort of thing of like the

18:18.928 --> 18:22.211
boyfriend sneaks in, do you want to bang? No, you don't. I won't pressure you.

18:22.339 --> 18:26.390
How about some over-the-top Like, it's all this kind of negotiation that

18:26.890 --> 18:29.590
teenagers sort of get into, and like, how far can you go? My favorite version

18:30.090 --> 18:33.450
of this ever is, um, in High Fidelity, John Cusack is talking about

18:33.950 --> 18:36.410
when he was a teenager, his character was a teenager dating this girl in high

18:36.910 --> 18:39.990
school, and he would try to touch her chest over her clothes, and she would

18:40.490 --> 18:42.990
push him away. So he would reach between her legs, and he said it was

18:43.490 --> 18:46.010
like, it was like getting turned down for, you know, it was like asking to

18:46.510 --> 18:49.390
borrow $10, getting turned down, and asking for $1,000 instead, you know? And it's like,

18:49.890 --> 18:51.710
I've always thought that was kind of a funny way to put it. Um,

18:52.210 --> 18:55.620
her boy— and Skeet Ulrich's shithead boyfriend here, right? Oh yeah. Very. And we don't

18:55.668 --> 18:59.588
know anything about Sidney's backstory yet at this point, but still he's just being like,

19:00.520 --> 19:04.409
hey, you know, our relationship reminds me of the TV-edited version of

19:04.457 --> 19:07.445
The Exorcist. Yeah, we're basically saying like,

19:07.590 --> 19:10.900
hey, we don't do anything graphic enough to not be shown on TV, you dumb

19:11.400 --> 19:14.660
bitch. Like, he's so— He also mentions like, we started hot and

19:15.160 --> 19:17.969
heavy, right? Gee, I wonder what happened. And as we do learn Sidney's sort of

19:18.469 --> 19:21.760
story here, it's like, you fucking asshole. Seriously, first of all, until we really

19:22.260 --> 19:25.240
know he knows exactly what happened, even knowing what everybody knows about what happened,

19:25.272 --> 19:28.222
you know? It's like, that's shitty. So he's, he's putting the pressure on her,

19:28.238 --> 19:31.205
but she's like, not like, okay, see you tomorrow. Yeah,

19:31.269 --> 19:34.813
yeah, we're all done. Uh, great '90s moment here. Uh,

19:35.294 --> 19:39.143
not great in terms of actually good, but very '90s is this fucking slow

19:39.643 --> 19:42.944
cover of Don't Fear the Reaper. This is such like a this era thing.

19:43.216 --> 19:46.808
And actually, this is very much a Ryan Murphy thing. Like, all his TV shows,

19:46.840 --> 19:50.335
like the American Horror Story, I feel like there'd be some slowed-down

19:50.688 --> 19:54.118
version of a song that's like not that good, you know? But if you put

19:54.618 --> 19:58.046
it in like this emotional, like singer-songwriter vein, it sounds like— It's

19:58.546 --> 20:02.310
also sort of the way Bridgerton did like all modern songs in like

20:02.406 --> 20:06.317
Victorian instrumentation or whatever, but it's all like, you know, Nicki Minaj

20:06.817 --> 20:09.972
or like Beyoncé, but it's like played with like a, a, you know, a string

20:10.165 --> 20:13.290
orchestra or whatever. Like, yeah, right. Um, but yeah, so the other thing we get

20:13.790 --> 20:15.839
in this scene that we just want to mention is that, uh, Sidney's dad comes

20:16.339 --> 20:18.532
to the door. Oh, I thought I heard screaming or whatever, you know. Um,

20:18.805 --> 20:22.390
and, and So, and we— it establishes that he's going away for work.

20:22.890 --> 20:24.750
Like, he's going to bed, and then in the morning he'll be up and gone

20:25.250 --> 20:27.010
before she gets up in the morning. Basically, he has to like travel somewhere for

20:27.510 --> 20:29.570
work and he's gonna be gone for the weekend. So this is somewhere to get

20:30.070 --> 20:33.670
paid a shitload of money based on her house. Unbelievable. Really, all these

20:34.170 --> 20:37.770
homes, every house in this movie is just stunning. And it's crazy, except for

20:38.270 --> 20:40.290
Stu's at the end, which looks like a fucking haunted house. But like, you know,

20:40.790 --> 20:44.290
that looks like the Clopex place. But like, uh, yes, yes, totally. But yeah,

20:44.790 --> 20:47.800
so, so then, uh, Yeah, so then we cut to like, so Dad's

20:48.300 --> 20:50.995
gonna go, we're just establishing all these bits, right? Billy's the boyfriend, he wants to

20:51.011 --> 20:54.560
bang, she's not prepared to do that. Dad is gonna be gone for the weekend.

20:54.608 --> 20:57.530
We figure this is like a Thursday night, Friday's tomorrow, and then the weekend,

20:57.578 --> 21:00.934
right? Dad's not gonna be around. Very important. So then we cut to the

21:01.434 --> 21:05.607
morning, uh, it's— we're back at school. There's news vans everywhere because 2 teenagers

21:06.107 --> 21:09.380
who go to this school, Woodsboro High, Woodsboro being the fictional town that

21:09.880 --> 21:13.570
we're sort of like dealing with here, Uh, they're dead and, and gruesomely,

21:14.070 --> 21:17.210
right? These were, these were, you know, they were gutted like fish. They were murdered

21:17.710 --> 21:20.770
kind of thing. And so, uh, we get established a few more characters here.

21:21.270 --> 21:24.190
We meet Tatum, played by Rose McGowan, who's Sidney's best friend. Uh, and I'll be

21:24.690 --> 21:27.290
totally honest here, like, I thought Rose McGowan was one of the hottest things walking

21:27.790 --> 21:30.830
on the earth back in the mid to late '90s. Like, absolutely, she looks stunning.

21:31.350 --> 21:34.740
Uh, she looks— I mean, it— Yeah, I was like, I was like,

21:34.770 --> 21:38.530
whoa, you know, like, oh, and I know she dated Marilyn

21:39.030 --> 21:41.030
Manson for, for a while. I'm like, oh, Marilyn Manson, great decision maker. Yeah.

21:43.167 --> 21:46.892
Um, that girl has done— that girl has dealt with some shit, that's for sure.

21:47.197 --> 21:50.584
So, uh, oh my God, yeah. Um, so it's

21:50.649 --> 21:53.924
so like— it's so funny how irresponsible

21:54.727 --> 21:58.484
this whole situation is, right? Like, there's no time for like notifying

21:58.596 --> 22:01.824
next of kin or whatever, just like media frenzy at the fucking

22:01.872 --> 22:04.473
high school, right, with a bunch of kids. We have, uh,

22:04.938 --> 22:08.342
Courteney Cox's character Gail— Gale Weathers. Looking like April O'Neil

22:08.535 --> 22:12.590
in this scene. For sure, with the yellow. This is

22:13.090 --> 22:16.490
a good poll. Yeah. Um, and she's so like— yeah, the way that they're in

22:16.990 --> 22:20.370
these, these kids' faces and everything, it's, it's really unbelievable. But we find

22:20.870 --> 22:23.930
out, you know, uh, what Tatum says to Sidney is like, oh, this is the

22:24.430 --> 22:27.830
worst thing since— and then kind of trails off, right? Right. So we find

22:28.330 --> 22:31.770
out pretty soon that like Sidney's mom was killed about a year ago. Raped and

22:32.270 --> 22:35.690
murdered. Very, like, very brutally. Exactly. And, and so we also get

22:36.190 --> 22:39.770
an introduction here to, uh, the principal, Principal Himbry, played by

22:40.270 --> 22:42.770
Henry Winkler in, I believe, an uncredited role. I don't think he's actually listed in

22:43.270 --> 22:46.650
the credits, which is wild because it's Henry Winkler. He's the anti-Steven Seagal.

22:47.150 --> 22:49.810
A, everybody likes him, and B, he doesn't care if he gets credit or not.

22:50.090 --> 22:53.470
And the range— he's on the spectrum, the Seagal to Winkler

22:53.970 --> 22:57.590
spectrum. We're going to place people here, right? Like Brad Pitt is more

22:58.090 --> 23:01.110
Seagal, but Tom Cruise is a little more Winkler, you know? Otherwise you might think

23:01.610 --> 23:04.450
those guys are similar, but they got different attitudes about this stuff. Um, but yeah,

23:04.950 --> 23:08.850
so, so basically, yeah, Sydney's mom a year ago, brutal murder, terrible. The principal comes

23:09.350 --> 23:12.090
off a little creepy to begin with. He's like very, uh, uh,

23:12.590 --> 23:15.431
whatever, kind of like You know, the kid— there's some kids who put on the

23:15.931 --> 23:18.222
mask. The whole point of it is that the mask and whatever that they find,

23:18.720 --> 23:22.761
uh, or no, wait, yeah, that's right, they find

23:23.261 --> 23:26.451
a mask. Or is that later? So there's a— let's see here, because the kid—

23:26.951 --> 23:30.685
the kids are running around. First we meet the friends. That's right. So, so first

23:31.185 --> 23:34.085
we got, we got Sydney and Tatum, we got Rose McGowan and Neve Campbell,

23:34.454 --> 23:37.133
and then they're meeting like their other— the rest of their crew, right?

23:37.341 --> 23:40.854
Right. Who is, uh, Matthew Lillard. Stu. Stu.

23:41.175 --> 23:44.680
Yep. And then Randy is played by Jamie Kennedy,

23:45.180 --> 23:48.120
right? And then Skeet Ulrich is Billy, right? Billy met him. But yeah, so it's

23:48.620 --> 23:52.480
like the 5 Billy Loomis. Isn't Dr. Loomis the doctor in

23:52.980 --> 23:55.980
in Halloween? He's in the witch. I don't know. No, no, no. In Halloween,

23:56.480 --> 23:59.480
the Michael Myers Halloween. Yeah, that's right. It is Loomis. So there's a there's a

23:59.980 --> 24:04.000
shout out there. Oh my god! During this scene,

24:04.500 --> 24:07.740
I mean, they're really Lillard and Kennedy must have had a bet to see who

24:08.240 --> 24:11.060
could be the most hateable. Like throughout this little scene here,

24:11.560 --> 24:15.320
Jamie Kennedy is like Hollywood said, "Hey, what if?" Is

24:15.820 --> 24:19.700
there a way we could do that? And he, he fucking calms down later,

24:20.200 --> 24:22.280
but this scene, I'm like, dude, if I have to sit through the whole movie

24:22.780 --> 24:25.460
of this. I mean, at least he's minor. And I'll be honest, like, I,

24:25.960 --> 24:28.720
I, I don't want to hear any, uh, uh, slander against Lillard. I'm a big

24:29.220 --> 24:32.460
Matthew Lillard fan. Uh, I really think he's, he's wonderful. And I think that he's

24:32.960 --> 24:34.560
one of the few— Well, I hear a lot of good stories of him as,

24:35.060 --> 24:38.160
like, a person. But there's also, like, a range he has that's kind of

24:38.660 --> 24:41.620
wild. Like, there is, 'cause especially when you do learn— Yeah, I hate his character,

24:42.120 --> 24:43.480
which is the function of it. Exactly, right, exactly. But there's only so much of

24:43.980 --> 24:47.204
that that you can do. that type of behavior. Because think of

24:47.236 --> 24:50.572
the guy who's like, that's what a cool guy acts like, when they watch

24:50.604 --> 24:54.196
this movie. And then they're just all like, like the fucking— so,

24:54.549 --> 24:57.564
uh, flip side though, Jamie Kennedy, it feels like it's just being Jamie Kennedy at

24:58.064 --> 25:00.371
times. And I don't— yes, I don't get that vibe as much of like— and

25:00.871 --> 25:03.466
then when he's normal, they're saying, hey, be less Jamie Kennedy for this scene.

25:04.637 --> 25:07.379
And for Lillard, they say, hey, can you Jamie Kennedy it up a little bit?

25:07.427 --> 25:10.924
Exactly right. Yeah. But they're, they're having this talk about like the actual murder,

25:10.988 --> 25:13.939
and they're being super insensitive and super like gross about it.

25:14.067 --> 25:17.242
Like, I mean, total boys trying to like

25:17.530 --> 25:20.593
shock their, their female friends kind of thing, right?

25:20.978 --> 25:24.842
But they're basically doing like a— Matthew Lillard's doing like his O.J.,

25:24.986 --> 25:28.177
like, if I did it, right? Yeah, yeah, thing of like how he would have

25:28.209 --> 25:31.432
done it. Yeah. Um, okay, so then we get

25:31.496 --> 25:34.767
back to Sidney's house. Yeah, that's right. So we're at Sidney's house that night and

25:35.267 --> 25:38.680
she is gonna stay the weekend at Tatum's. And so she's like waiting

25:38.792 --> 25:41.181
and Tatum said like, I'll pick you up at 7 or something like that.

25:41.437 --> 25:45.390
She falls— Sidney falls asleep on the couch And it's like dark by

25:45.890 --> 25:47.490
the time she— which is like way later than 7. I got confused at first

25:47.990 --> 25:51.270
because then Tatum calls and she like picks up the phone, um, and says something

25:51.770 --> 25:54.150
like, oh, like, I fell asleep. Oh, it's, it's late. It's after 7. And I'm

25:54.650 --> 25:57.530
thinking to myself, yeah, like, unless this is the dead of winter, like, yeah,

25:58.030 --> 25:59.830
it's dark out. It would be way after 7, you know, kind of thing.

25:59.970 --> 26:02.510
Um, I think she was just saying you were supposed to come and snap me.

26:03.010 --> 26:05.130
Right. That's my bad. But basically it's like, okay, I'm on my way, kind of

26:05.630 --> 26:08.630
thing. And then she hangs up the phone, phone rings again, like, and I think

26:09.130 --> 26:11.310
she answers something like, what'd you forget? Or something like that. And this is like

26:11.657 --> 26:15.384
you know, hi, Sidney. Like, it's the killer, right? And so the killer calls her

26:15.593 --> 26:19.031
and she, she does not play along the way Casey does.

26:19.240 --> 26:22.421
No. Um, and the killer is a little more— She thinks it's Randy. Yeah,

26:22.437 --> 26:25.104
she thinks it's Randy. It's like her immediate thought. Exactly. 'Cause he works at a

26:25.604 --> 26:28.911
video store. Like, he would be the guy calling with like movie trivia and shit

26:28.944 --> 26:31.675
like that. They do establish that he's like a big movie nerd, you know,

26:31.739 --> 26:34.952
kind of thing. And she, so she, you know, was like, thinks it's Randy,

26:34.968 --> 26:38.149
whatever. And then finally the killer's like, well, I'm not Randy or whatever, you know?

26:38.726 --> 26:41.772
Uh, and then now she, you know, and she makes a joke, she makes a

26:42.272 --> 26:44.833
comment about, I hate those movies where the girl runs up the stairs instead of

26:45.333 --> 26:48.552
running out the door like she's supposed to. Yeah. Well, she like locks the door,

26:48.680 --> 26:51.485
the front door, and then unlocks it because the killer says, well, I'm on your

26:51.985 --> 26:53.601
porch, whatever. So she goes out there and like, haha, I called your bluff,

26:53.665 --> 26:56.566
nobody's here. Goes back inside and does the little chain lock on the front door,

26:56.694 --> 27:00.156
and then the killer busts out from the hall closet and like attacks her.

27:00.765 --> 27:04.003
And this was— I really like this because this is like the first time we

27:04.503 --> 27:07.609
see how Sidney reacts to being in danger. Like Casey, like Tried to hide and

27:08.109 --> 27:09.965
then tried to run. Like that was kind of her thing. And Sydney immediately is

27:09.981 --> 27:13.058
like, "Fuck you, Shane. I'm gonna fight back." Like whatever happens, right?

27:13.362 --> 27:16.551
But because she put the chain on the damn door, that's not a quick.

27:17.048 --> 27:18.939
You know, you can't just do that quickly. So she's not able to get the

27:18.955 --> 27:22.480
front door unlocked. She runs up the stairs. I think it's like a nice little

27:22.980 --> 27:25.765
very clever. I mean, the way that things fall into place in this movie,

27:25.781 --> 27:28.762
it's just like wow. Shout out that Kevin Williamson. Yeah.

27:29.451 --> 27:33.474
Um, yeah. And when And

27:33.974 --> 27:36.904
he says like, uh, if you hang up on me, you'll, you'll die just like

27:37.404 --> 27:40.864
your mother. And like, oh right, fucking crazy, right? So she gets chased upstairs.

27:41.312 --> 27:45.015
Uh, she can't— she picks up the phone, she gets chased into her bedroom,

27:45.079 --> 27:48.831
right? And then does another slick move where she closes the door and then opens

27:48.863 --> 27:52.534
the closet so that when the door tries to open from the hallway,

27:52.550 --> 27:56.188
it like gets stuck on the closet door. Which actually has his hands— the fun

27:56.220 --> 27:59.122
part was established when her dad knocked on her door. The reason her dad didn't

27:59.622 --> 28:02.889
just come in when Billy— is that she had done the same thing. Fucking screenwriting.

28:02.953 --> 28:06.440
Exactly. Before that even. Um, and the

28:06.940 --> 28:10.040
Scream guy, his arm is through there with a knife swinging at her. She picks

28:10.540 --> 28:13.660
up the phone, the phone is dead, but luckily I can go to 911.com.

28:14.260 --> 28:17.640
It's so weird. It was so weird. But she's got like an

28:18.140 --> 28:21.740
AIM chat room 911 thing, dude. I don't understand it. It's like

28:22.240 --> 28:25.250
suddenly we're in WarGames and like Matthew Broderick's putting the phone on a little receiver.

28:25.720 --> 28:28.780
Exactly. Calling into Whopper. Like, it's so bizarre. Like,

28:29.280 --> 28:32.020
what's the nature of your emergency? So as she's doing that, it shows that she

28:32.520 --> 28:35.988
establishes contact and is saying like, what's going on? You know,

28:36.165 --> 28:39.133
the killer's kind of gone, and then there's something at her window,

28:39.214 --> 28:42.231
right? And Billy's very much— startles her. Startles her. And it's Billy

28:42.263 --> 28:45.360
again, right? And he's coming back through, and she— again, we established just the night

28:45.392 --> 28:48.810
before, this one night ago when Billy popped in, that he had never done

28:48.842 --> 28:52.276
that before. This is not like the normal way Billy comes over. Yeah, right.

28:52.372 --> 28:55.470
Especially given that Billy knows Dad is gone.

28:55.807 --> 28:59.257
Neil is, is not there. So it's very strange. But he immediately is like,

28:59.594 --> 29:02.145
like, oh, I saw him, I scared him off, I scared him off, or whatever.

29:02.482 --> 29:05.672
But like a cell phone drops out of his pocket, which is like— it

29:06.172 --> 29:09.439
was '96, so like, yeah, people had cell phones, but like not very many people

29:09.939 --> 29:13.479
had cell phones, especially teenagers. Just not real common. And this is

29:13.527 --> 29:17.118
like, you know, basically Sidney is now terrified of Billy.

29:17.374 --> 29:20.981
Yeah. 'Cause it's like, you're there, you've got a phone, and like, what the

29:21.481 --> 29:25.293
fuck's going on? And then because she did contact 911, almost immediately showing

29:25.389 --> 29:28.980
up is some sheriff's deputies, including Dewey, which is played

29:29.252 --> 29:32.843
by David Arquette and is Tatum's older brother, who is also like a sheriff's deputy

29:32.859 --> 29:35.610
and just a few years older than maybe like, 21 or 22 or 24.

29:36.110 --> 29:37.950
I don't know what he says, but it's like he's just a few years older.

29:38.330 --> 29:42.160
And, uh, they find the mask and the costume and all this stuff.

29:42.310 --> 29:45.630
No knife or anything, but they find those things. And apparently they make a point

29:46.130 --> 29:49.190
to say this is sold at every— he even says five and dime,

29:49.690 --> 29:52.690
which is like nobody in fucking '96 would have said five and dime. Folded every

29:53.190 --> 29:55.690
five and dime in the state. Oh, we need to small town vibes this script

29:56.190 --> 29:59.550
up a little bit. Can you change that to five and dime? And the way

30:00.050 --> 30:03.819
that Dewey— so, so Casey runs down the stairs fucking horrified. Or Sidney,

30:04.316 --> 30:07.737
and opens the front door, and the mask is right there,

30:07.769 --> 30:10.965
and you're holding it up. And this is Dewey holding the mask.

30:11.158 --> 30:14.852
It's so bizarre. Almost like it was in front of the peephole.

30:14.997 --> 30:17.630
Yes. Right? Which is like— and this is the thing we should mention, right?

30:17.711 --> 30:21.629
They do— Williamson and Craven do such a good job in this movie of letting

30:21.806 --> 30:24.793
us believe any number of, like,

30:24.809 --> 30:28.246
7 different characters could be the killer. Yeah. There's so

30:28.746 --> 30:31.908
many red herrings and misdirections and different things. You know, we now have good reason

30:32.004 --> 30:35.457
to suspect Billy. He was there. He's got the cell phone. Okay, we have

30:35.957 --> 30:39.696
some reason to suspect Dewey only because like also he was there very conveniently.

30:39.952 --> 30:43.083
Yep, he's got the mask. He's weirdly holding it up to the thing. Like there's

30:43.583 --> 30:46.921
very strangeness going on kind of stuff. Um, but they do— and he also probably

30:47.098 --> 30:50.566
would have known that her dad was gone because he would have been aware that,

30:50.726 --> 30:54.050
that Sidney's going to their house. Yep, exactly right. He's got all the right information.

30:54.098 --> 30:56.314
Yeah, so there's all this stuff that's like, okay, well, it could be these guys.

30:56.812 --> 31:00.020
Um, but yeah, so basically Dewey and the other cops, they arrest

31:00.520 --> 31:02.460
Billy, and Billy is like yelling out to Sidney, like, Sidney, tell them, like,

31:02.960 --> 31:04.740
it's not me, tell them. And she's kind of like, I don't fucking know.

31:05.240 --> 31:07.800
Yeah, I don't know. It's not you. You were there, bro. Like, you showed up.

31:08.300 --> 31:10.680
And that's kind of what she says, like, well, he was there. Yeah, you know.

31:11.180 --> 31:12.580
And he's like, yeah, the cops said I scared him off or whatever. But it's

31:13.080 --> 31:16.280
like she doesn't really buy it, um, nor should she, frankly.

31:16.780 --> 31:20.120
Oh God. Uh, um, yeah. And, and they're,

31:20.620 --> 31:24.020
uh, and they're trying to find Sidney's dad, and he's not answering.

31:24.520 --> 31:27.531
Like, he had given her information about, I'm staying at this hotel, like Call me

31:28.031 --> 31:30.624
if you need me. So Sydney's at the police station now,

31:31.234 --> 31:35.065
and Billy's being held, right? And it's fucking

31:35.097 --> 31:38.319
crazy. I mean, you're in a small police station, but like Billy's across the room

31:38.463 --> 31:41.493
from her, right? Which is like in a holding cell, just like in an office.

31:41.573 --> 31:45.148
He's just chilling. And as they're leaving the police

31:45.180 --> 31:48.018
station, the whole thing is swarmed again by cops,

31:48.707 --> 31:52.458
or by press, which again is like, you're getting

31:52.490 --> 31:55.860
news pretty quick. I think they have a cop like in Seven.

31:56.360 --> 31:59.680
They have a Somerset or a Mills like selling them some information so they

32:00.180 --> 32:04.060
could show up there. But Gale gets in Sidney's face, you know, asking questions,

32:04.560 --> 32:08.120
and then Sidney just punches her, which is nice. She slugs her.

32:08.620 --> 32:11.800
And so we get this little— or not quite yet. I think next is Sidney

32:12.300 --> 32:15.420
goes to Tatum's house. Yep. And Tatum's mom is like— they're kind of in bed,

32:15.920 --> 32:18.580
but Tatum's mom is like, oh, there's a phone call for Sidney, right? And she's

32:19.080 --> 32:20.820
like, oh, okay. And she gets it. My dad? And she's like, I don't know.

32:21.320 --> 32:23.266
So she goes and takes the phone call, and it's the killer again. Yeah.

32:23.523 --> 32:27.817
And so now we're establishing, oh no, the killer called Sidney while

32:27.849 --> 32:30.782
Billy is in jail. Ooh, maybe it can't be Billy,

32:30.878 --> 32:34.099
right? That kind of thing. Um, and then here's the part we get a little

32:34.599 --> 32:38.570
bit of news information that gives us some exposition about what happened to Sidney's

32:39.070 --> 32:42.656
mom. And so the storyline here, I think we've seen enough to

32:43.156 --> 32:44.339
this point in the movie, we can kind of figure it all out. But like,

32:44.820 --> 32:48.057
uh, basically, uh, there's this man named

32:48.105 --> 32:50.977
Cotton Cotton Weary, I think, or— yeah, Cotton Weary.

32:51.314 --> 32:54.765
And I had totally forgotten that he was played in his momentary appearance on

32:55.265 --> 32:57.815
screen by Liev Schreiber. I was surprised too. I was like, that's the best actor

32:58.315 --> 33:01.604
in this whole movie. Absolutely, 100%. Pure acting talent. By a mile. By a

33:01.684 --> 33:05.183
mile and a half. Henry Winkler is next. Yeah, you know, as likable as

33:05.199 --> 33:08.361
he is, like, you know. Um, but yeah, like, Liev Schreiber is like

33:08.861 --> 33:12.101
in this little, uh, uh, you know, footage clip, news footage clip

33:12.117 --> 33:15.585
of like having been the person arrested and is on death row. Yeah, for the

33:16.085 --> 33:19.780
rape and murder of Sidney's mom. And Gale, Courteney Cox's character, does not believe

33:20.280 --> 33:23.820
that he did it. She says the only actual, like,

33:24.320 --> 33:27.680
evidence or whatever that, like, put Cotton away was Sidney's testimony.

33:28.180 --> 33:31.440
Sidney's identifying him. Yeah. And she's like, I don't believe that you actually saw him,

33:31.940 --> 33:33.980
like, all this kind of stuff, whatever. And I might be jumping ahead a little

33:34.480 --> 33:37.960
bit. These little bits of information come in several parts of the movie. But basically,

33:38.460 --> 33:41.800
that's why Sidney hates Gale. And that's why Gale is so interested in what's going

33:42.300 --> 33:45.500
on, because she's writing a book about Cotton Weary and, like, the actual

33:46.000 --> 33:46.660
murder and all this stuff. And Gale's convinced that Cotton Weary didn't do it.

33:48.576 --> 33:51.882
Exactly right. It's convinced there wasn't any evidence other than, uh,

33:51.962 --> 33:55.814
Sidney's, uh, uh, testimony, and that she very much, just given the circumstances

33:56.314 --> 33:58.109
of like it was dark or like whatever, it could have been somebody else.

33:58.157 --> 34:01.159
Like, oh, you saw a jacket and not like whatever, all this stuff. Um,

34:01.335 --> 34:04.208
but yeah. Um, so, so they're back at school again,

34:04.256 --> 34:07.899
right? And Billy's been released, right? And, and as Sidney— so now the

34:07.931 --> 34:10.210
word is out that Sidney has been attacked by this,

34:10.660 --> 34:16.405
this killer, and she's got this other reporter in her face

34:16.905 --> 34:19.080
Like, how does it feel to be almost brutally butchered? And then Tatum like pulls

34:19.580 --> 34:23.120
her away, and then the reporter's like, the people deserve to know.

34:23.200 --> 34:26.980
It's like, Sidney, you gotta bring more punches next time because she deserved a

34:27.480 --> 34:30.799
damn uppercut there. It was really bad. But now there's all

34:31.299 --> 34:34.460
these people because this mask is so commonly available, we're told. Which, by the way,

34:34.960 --> 34:38.660
just side note real quick, it was actually a generic Halloween costume mask

34:39.160 --> 34:41.960
before this movie. Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if it was made. Okay. Yeah,

34:42.460 --> 34:46.180
the production design crew created one Um, and, you know, Craven was like,

34:46.340 --> 34:49.500
okay, whatever. And then apparently he or another production assistant or somebody stumbled upon

34:50.000 --> 34:53.320
this mask and, and sort of outfit. It was called, um, like— It was

34:53.820 --> 34:56.920
called William Shatner, right? No, it was called— that's Michael Myers. Uh, no, it was

34:57.420 --> 35:00.060
called like the, you know, Ghost Grim Reaper or something. Was like the generic name.

35:00.560 --> 35:03.400
Yeah, it was used. And they— and Craven just liked it way better. Um,

35:03.900 --> 35:07.320
the Weinsteins, who are, you know, the executive producers of this, kept pushing him

35:07.820 --> 35:10.460
to change it. They're like, it looks too goofy, it looks too silly. Yeah,

35:10.960 --> 35:13.700
don't— we're not doing this. You're not using this mask. This mask looks awful.

35:14.257 --> 35:17.707
And so Craven cut together a very, very quickly cut

35:18.207 --> 35:21.702
together a version of the opening sequence with Casey to show to the Weinstein brothers.

35:22.119 --> 35:25.361
And after that, they said, okay, do whatever you want. Nice. Like, this works fine.

35:25.665 --> 35:28.393
And so it really was like a generic, you could find it. Like, you know,

35:28.474 --> 35:31.731
I don't remember seeing it before this movie, but like, arguably, depending on what part

35:32.231 --> 35:35.951
of the country you're in, you might have been familiar with that mask before

35:36.451 --> 35:39.545
this movie came out. Like, it did exist as like— That's crazy. Like a five

35:40.045 --> 35:43.640
and dime, you know? Yeah. Like Halloween masks. And is it produced by the evil

35:44.140 --> 35:47.420
mask company from Halloween 3? Oh no, it's not. Silver Shamrock? No, no,

35:47.920 --> 35:51.080
unfortunately that was, uh, it was, uh, it's too generic for even them, you know.

35:51.580 --> 35:54.960
That's, that's, it's not Irish enough. So, so these students, uh, like you said,

35:55.460 --> 35:58.040
they're, they're running through the halls with the mask on to fuck around with it.

35:58.540 --> 36:01.720
And again, we're 2 days removed from like 2 students being brutally killed

36:02.220 --> 36:05.080
and then someone else being attacked, and we know this thing's still on the loose.

36:05.240 --> 36:08.360
And they're running down the hall and Winkler takes them into the office and he's

36:08.860 --> 36:12.440
fucking pissed. He's being tough guy. Oh, he's got these huge scissors.

36:12.820 --> 36:16.200
These fucking like opening of a new gas station cutting ribbon scissors.

36:16.700 --> 36:20.240
These are only for mayors in fake in like ceremonial hard hats.

36:20.740 --> 36:23.420
Yeah, it's like if you've got something in between bonsai and a hedge that you

36:23.920 --> 36:26.820
need to need to trim, you know? But he's so but he's like you know

36:27.320 --> 36:30.400
shaking them at the kids and he's like oh you monsters your whole generation da

36:30.900 --> 36:32.920
da all this stuff and it's like this is like is the principal the killer?

36:33.420 --> 36:36.360
Like he's certainly comfortable wielding a weapon like all this. They are the size of

36:36.860 --> 36:41.720
the Lebowski dream sequence. We're gonna cut your Johnson. off scissors.

36:42.220 --> 36:45.800
Um, but yeah, so he's like, he's telling these kids like, you're both expelled.

36:45.980 --> 36:48.480
Yeah, you know, immediately. Which is like, I don't think he has the power to

36:48.980 --> 36:52.380
do that. No, but, but I do like that as a first move, just because

36:52.880 --> 36:56.240
I would be like, this is so egregiously awful what you're doing.

36:56.740 --> 37:00.040
Like, A, the school should not be operating for— it should be no school the

37:00.540 --> 37:03.200
rest of the week, right? At least. Like, yeah. Which, like, now I'm not even

37:03.700 --> 37:04.740
sure what day of the week it was. Like, I thought it was going to

37:05.240 --> 37:07.040
become the weekend, but then it clearly isn't. So it's the middle of the week

37:07.540 --> 37:09.378
sometime. That, that part I was just wrong about, because they keep having to go

37:09.878 --> 37:13.346
back to school. Right. Um, but here we get, uh, so then,

37:13.619 --> 37:17.941
uh, Sidney goes to the bathroom. Yep. And there are these 2 girls talking about

37:18.359 --> 37:22.295
how Sidney, like, might be the killer herself,

37:22.311 --> 37:25.123
or like, you know, whatever. This is like cheerleader chick who's got this crazy theory

37:25.623 --> 37:29.203
about how, you know, she went crazy because her mom got killed. Yeah. And since

37:29.703 --> 37:32.979
clearly Billy didn't do it since they released him, so obviously that means he's completely

37:33.075 --> 37:36.478
innocent if you're like arrested and released. Like, clearly you did nothing wrong. You know,

37:36.510 --> 37:39.092
all this kind of stuff. And she's like hearing this in the stall, and it's

37:39.592 --> 37:43.150
like hard for her to hear. And finally these bitches leave. She goes back to—

37:43.262 --> 37:47.063
These two girls in the thing, terrible. The other, the one

37:47.111 --> 37:50.704
who's speaking less with the short hair, head to toe, worst look

37:51.204 --> 37:55.403
I've ever seen. Like clothing, haircut, every single thing. I'm like—

37:56.077 --> 37:59.268
Also, again, on the topic of actors who are not teenagers

37:59.364 --> 38:03.133
playing teenagers, the cheerleader one is a mother of 2. Like, this is not a

38:03.633 --> 38:07.126
person who's like, Like, real young, this woman. Like, I've seen that lady

38:07.158 --> 38:09.226
at soccer games. Like, you know what I mean? Like, that is a soccer mom

38:09.306 --> 38:12.817
right there. It is crazy. Um, so Sidney— so these,

38:12.993 --> 38:16.424
these awful— and again, great device to like move things along.

38:16.616 --> 38:19.950
These awful girls leave and Sidney's like kind of checking for feet under the

38:20.450 --> 38:23.493
stalls. Well, she starts hearing something and she's like, what's going on? Right? And then

38:23.993 --> 38:27.517
she sees a couple feet. Well, because she hears Sidney, the whispering. Sidney is like

38:28.017 --> 38:30.082
whispering. Oh yeah, yeah. See, I watch all these— I know I watch all these

38:30.098 --> 38:33.705
with headphones in, so all I heard was cars driving by the front of

38:34.205 --> 38:37.622
my house. But yeah, so she hears whispering, whatever,

38:37.638 --> 38:40.914
so she starts looking around. And yeah, then like 2 boots sort

38:41.414 --> 38:43.805
of like come down, like as if they were sitting maybe up on the toilet,

38:43.886 --> 38:47.339
and then the bottom of that outfit, right? So she knows

38:47.839 --> 38:50.375
what's up now. Now, you know, bust— the killer busts through the door of the,

38:50.471 --> 38:53.812
of the, uh, stall, tries to attack her. She like does a slide

38:53.828 --> 38:56.735
move. I know, that was a very cool move. Very, very, uh, uh,

38:56.816 --> 39:00.157
True Lies bathroom fight kind of going on. Yes. Um, with no guns.

39:00.430 --> 39:03.540
But yeah, so So she slides out and is able to like run away and

39:04.040 --> 39:06.360
get away, and the killer doesn't follow her out of the bathroom. Like, obviously,

39:06.860 --> 39:10.400
like, that's the thing. But now, like, uh, the, the classes

39:10.900 --> 39:13.400
get suspended. Yeah. The principal calls out over the PA like, hey, with everything going

39:13.900 --> 39:16.880
on, like, everybody go home, no classes. The, the,

39:17.380 --> 39:20.680
uh, police are putting together a 9 PM curfew. Nobody's allowed to be out after

39:21.180 --> 39:23.660
9 PM. Get on out of here. Um, and then there's this great moment where

39:24.160 --> 39:27.240
now the principal's basically alone in the school. He's got the mask, he's like looking

39:27.740 --> 39:30.110
at it, but he's kind of like, like looking around, or he thinks he hears

39:30.610 --> 39:33.450
something or whatever, and he looks out into the hallway and it's like, huh?

39:33.950 --> 39:37.190
And he's like— and the guy looks up and it's, it's this janitor dressed

39:37.690 --> 39:41.290
like Freddy Krueger. Oh, that is Wes Craven. Nice dress. Yeah, and the hat and

39:41.790 --> 39:44.950
the, and the red and green striped sweater. And he goes, huh? And the principal

39:45.450 --> 39:48.550
goes, not you, Fred. And like, it's the little things like that I fucking love

39:49.050 --> 39:52.750
in this movie. That is like a top-tier random janitor moment, right up

39:53.250 --> 39:56.450
there with Billy Madison. What about you, Sideburns? You want some milk? I'd rather have

39:56.950 --> 40:00.493
a Like, I think those are neck and neck for me. Like, I really like

40:00.993 --> 40:04.344
that. Um, yeah, so, so the principal's there and he

40:04.425 --> 40:07.907
keeps hearing— he hears a knock on the door again, right? And he comes

40:07.955 --> 40:11.390
out, nobody's there, uh, and he ends up getting— And

40:11.406 --> 40:14.616
somehow the killer is like behind the door in his office, or it's

40:15.116 --> 40:17.232
not— it's hard to tell exactly how the killer gets to where he needs to

40:17.264 --> 40:20.875
get sometimes. But sure enough, you know, he, uh, Principal Himbry closes the

40:20.939 --> 40:23.993
office door and there's the killer, attacks him, kills him. him, just, you know,

40:24.009 --> 40:27.172
stabs him, the whole deal. So now, like,

40:27.236 --> 40:30.383
the principal's dead too. So we've got what? We've got, uh, Steve is dead,

40:30.448 --> 40:33.928
Casey's dead, the principal's dead. Sidney was attacked 2

40:34.008 --> 40:37.141
or, I guess, twice really, not 3 times, but you know, there's all this

40:37.641 --> 40:40.468
stuff. And then there's a great line in here. Tatum and Sidney are like chatting

40:40.516 --> 40:44.182
again, uh, and I remember just saying that Tatum says something about

40:44.230 --> 40:47.533
watching a Wes Carpenter movie. Yes. And I just love that line too, where it's

40:48.033 --> 40:52.131
like she doesn't know well enough to separate Wes Craven and John

40:52.631 --> 40:53.772
Carpenter. Uh, they also say some shit. I forget who mentioned this because I just

40:54.272 --> 40:57.576
wrote the phrase down. Yeah, they mentioned Richard Gere's gerbil. Yeah, the Richard Gere

40:57.769 --> 41:01.236
gerbil story, which is very funny. Uh, it's having kind of a renaissance

41:01.736 --> 41:05.264
lately. Um, and again, the news people before

41:05.312 --> 41:08.586
classes are suspended standing outside there— 2 are already dead,

41:08.843 --> 41:12.535
who's next? It's like irresponsible. Fucking stop it. Well,

41:12.567 --> 41:15.119
and Gale, it turns out if they mention something— I think when she was talking

41:15.619 --> 41:18.830
to Dewey at one point She's on, I don't remember what they call the show,

41:19.330 --> 41:21.710
but it's essentially an Inside Edition or Hard Copy kind of thing. It's not,

41:22.210 --> 41:25.610
you know, it's definitely like news magazine style. Gotcha, yeah. Not like Channel 4 News

41:26.110 --> 41:29.010
or some shit. Like, she's like a tabloid, like a TV tabloid person.

41:29.360 --> 41:32.870
And so there is that element of like, no, it has to be

41:33.370 --> 41:36.110
sensational 'cause that's the whole point. That's why people tune in. This is also,

41:36.610 --> 41:39.910
you gotta remember, like really early in the 24-hour news cycle, cable news

41:40.410 --> 41:43.310
kind of phenomenon, right? Like, I mean, that really started in like the early '90s.

41:43.810 --> 41:45.970
We're only a few years into things like CNN and Fox News and whatever.

41:46.190 --> 41:49.660
really being right. So it was like a current affair and

41:50.160 --> 41:52.480
stuff like that with the things that we had. Exactly. And that's, and that's who

41:52.980 --> 41:56.540
she's like based off of or whatever. So yeah, so now

41:57.040 --> 41:59.680
we're at the video store. That's right, we get to the video store where Randy,

42:00.140 --> 42:02.860
Jamie Kennedy, works, which makes a lot of sense. Yep. Did you ever work at

42:03.360 --> 42:05.340
a video store? You worked at a Blockbuster? I worked at a theater. Oh,

42:05.840 --> 42:07.700
that's right. You just— not at a video store. I worked at a theater for

42:08.200 --> 42:12.140
a few years. I had a bunch of friends that worked at Blockbuster. Matt Jones,

42:12.640 --> 42:15.900
Matt Silbert, everyone named Matt. Yeah, I mean, that,

42:15.916 --> 42:20.235
that job again in high school was like, that was the, the holy grail

42:20.735 --> 42:23.189
of things. I did the warehouse. It was like across the street from Blockbuster,

42:23.221 --> 42:26.496
so we did music and, uh, then you're in line early for the tickets

42:26.996 --> 42:29.707
when you had to physically line up to buy Pearl Jam tickets. Yeah,

42:29.803 --> 42:33.544
fuck. So this is, this is very nice though. And, and the Randy

42:33.576 --> 42:36.835
character, and then now I flip on him because, yeah, from this scene on I'm

42:36.868 --> 42:40.223
like, okay, he should have been like this at the beginning, right? I don't

42:40.303 --> 42:43.730
like him being so weird at the very beginning. It's like

42:44.230 --> 42:47.790
too much Malibu's Most Wanted at the start or something. He has a

42:48.290 --> 42:51.550
hard time turning that off. Yeah, I think so, exactly. Yeah,

42:52.050 --> 42:55.430
'cause he starts off as like the, almost like as if Seth Green in Can't

42:55.930 --> 42:58.870
Hardly Wait was parodying him, even though that movie was later parodied in many ways.

42:59.370 --> 43:01.070
Totally. That's what it feels like, until you're right, at this point now he gets

43:01.570 --> 43:04.810
kind of picked on. We see that he's like, yeah, he's quote friends with like

43:05.310 --> 43:07.310
Stu and Billy, but they don't actually like him. They just like fuck with him.

43:07.810 --> 43:09.130
He's like the screech of the group. He's for sure. He's the stray guy who's

43:09.630 --> 43:13.003
like been a childhood friend, but doesn't have a girl, you know, know, um,

43:13.228 --> 43:16.498
and, and he's kind of talking about the video,

43:16.530 --> 43:20.185
the, uh, horror movie formulas and stuff, right? You know, this is the way things

43:20.217 --> 43:23.599
happen. And he's saying too, like, that he's suspicious of Billy. He's like,

43:23.663 --> 43:26.019
oh man, if you were— if you were— that's out— that's in bad taste,

43:26.051 --> 43:29.081
right? If you were like a suspect in a brutal murder, why'd you be hanging

43:29.113 --> 43:31.501
out in the horror movie section or something like that? Yeah, which is maybe a

43:32.001 --> 43:35.140
little much, but, but yeah, it's like, uh, you know, we get all this stuff

43:35.640 --> 43:37.705
and he starts laying down— you're right, like all these kind of— he talks a

43:37.769 --> 43:41.088
lot about the— he's the meta horror guy, right? Like, a lot of the stuff

43:41.120 --> 43:44.503
that comes in the movie, uh, is, is all about, uh, you know,

43:44.824 --> 43:47.838
basically just like it comes from him. It's because he knows movies and he knows

43:47.870 --> 43:51.205
horror movies. Um, it's interesting that they're kind of doing

43:51.237 --> 43:54.605
the thing that they always do with like a, like a vampire or a

43:55.105 --> 43:58.677
werewolf movie where they have the person who's explaining like, well, you know, the garlic

43:59.177 --> 44:02.525
thing's actually bullshit, but they can't be near holy water, and like running all that

44:03.025 --> 44:06.582
down. And then they're turning that into like the slasher killer, and that's its own

44:06.630 --> 44:09.775
type of thing. So very cool with Randy going through there.

44:10.241 --> 44:13.691
Funny line is that they're

44:14.191 --> 44:16.901
talking about like if you were in a movie, who would play you? Okay.

44:16.965 --> 44:20.448
Yeah, right. And Sidney is Sidney. They're talking about who they play. And she

44:20.948 --> 44:24.508
says, with my luck, they'd cast Tori Spelling, who plays the Sidney role

44:25.008 --> 44:27.814
in Scary Movie. That's right. So again, like just,

44:28.360 --> 44:31.184
just these guys all winking at each other behind the scenes. Well, and funny thing

44:31.248 --> 44:34.603
too, I didn't mention this earlier about the name Scary Movie in particular. That was

44:34.651 --> 44:38.670
originally the name of Kevin Williamson's script. Oh, funny. And it was actually changed

44:39.170 --> 44:43.030
by the Weinsteins after production started. So production started on this movie as Scary Movie,

44:43.440 --> 44:46.590
and the Weinsteins came in and said— because they got to put their fucking chubby

44:47.090 --> 44:49.970
little fingers in there. Yeah, they're like, no, that's like too generic, we don't want

44:50.470 --> 44:52.770
that. Like, I think they possibly even said they were concerned about the copyright or

44:53.270 --> 44:56.630
something because it's such a generic term or whatever. So they came up with Scream,

44:57.130 --> 44:59.810
and Wes Craven was basically like, okay, fine, that's fine. Like, it's still sort of

45:00.310 --> 45:03.650
generic enough that it'll work. But then when the Wayans wanted to do their parody,

45:04.150 --> 45:06.330
it's like, well, Scary Movie's right there, man. So good. You get to use it.

45:07.090 --> 45:10.530
But yeah, so the key here is that Stu, the Matthew Lillard character,

45:11.030 --> 45:13.410
is throwing a party tonight. We don't get the sense of why his folks are

45:13.910 --> 45:17.230
not around, but they're not apparently. I don't think he even says— Because he's 24.

45:17.730 --> 45:21.310
Right, exactly. He's fucking 26 and has a mortgage. Um, but yeah, so like,

45:21.810 --> 45:24.490
that's— they're, they're like renting a movie. Like, Randy's like, I'm gonna bring over like

45:24.990 --> 45:27.630
a Halloween or, or, uh, I know he says prom night or whatever, like a

45:28.130 --> 45:31.710
couple of Jamie Lee Curtis, you know, type movies. Yep. And so,

45:32.210 --> 45:34.610
so then, uh, everything we see, we get this little montage almost of like all

45:35.110 --> 45:38.377
these these things in town closing down for the curfew, and it's— again, it's still

45:38.409 --> 45:41.615
light out. I know, they're saying, they're saying the curfew's at 9 PM.

45:41.791 --> 45:45.607
It's already been established a few days ago it's pitch-ass black at 7 PM,

45:45.623 --> 45:48.781
which is what I thought. And then we've got like a mom having

45:48.829 --> 45:52.276
a picnic with a little kid in like the park and like quickly scooping

45:52.776 --> 45:56.091
him up and running away. It's like, it's 3:15, as if an air raid siren

45:56.187 --> 45:58.913
just went off and the Purge is about to begin. Oh shit, we gotta get

45:59.413 --> 46:02.920
home. Like, give me a break. Like very weird because Tatum and Sydney are still

46:03.420 --> 46:06.400
food shopping. Yeah, they're supposed to bring all the food apparently for this enormous party,

46:06.900 --> 46:09.650
this big old party, fucking 7,000 square foot haunted house.

46:09.820 --> 46:13.860
Um, because when we get this establishing shot of Stu's house, it's crazy. It's huge.

46:14.360 --> 46:18.040
Ridiculous. Yeah, and there's a, there's a scene I really liked with the,

46:18.540 --> 46:21.920
the sheriff and Dewey. Yeah, kind of talking back and forth about their theory.

46:22.420 --> 46:24.940
But it's funny, the sheriff's out there smoking a cigarette and Dewey's like, you know,

46:25.440 --> 46:28.530
I thought you quit, whatever. And Dewey's like got an ice cream cone. And then

46:29.030 --> 46:31.290
it keeps showing back and forth. The sheriff will take a puff of the cigarette

46:31.790 --> 46:34.970
as Dewey's taking a lick of the ice cream. Really funny. There's also a moment

46:35.470 --> 46:38.090
there where I swear we get a focus on the boots of the sheriff because

46:38.590 --> 46:42.630
he like steps out the cigarette. Oh, yes. That I think was meant to evoke

46:43.130 --> 46:45.590
the boots in the bathroom. I don't know if they were the exact same boots.

46:46.090 --> 46:48.250
I didn't go back and check. I think that's a great point. But I think

46:48.750 --> 46:50.530
that was another sort of like, could it be this guy? Right. Like, you know,

46:51.030 --> 46:53.550
there's so many of those things. Or Dewey has the same boots. Or something.

46:54.050 --> 46:55.850
Yeah, exactly. Because we definitely like Dewey, we get, I think, as a legitimate,

46:56.350 --> 46:59.190
it could be him. Like, they try that. I don't know that the sheriff,

46:59.239 --> 47:02.363
we get enough pieces of that, but like Dewey, Neil, you know,

47:02.379 --> 47:05.439
Billy, like there's so many people that get— I mean, Randy, for a while we

47:05.727 --> 47:08.627
were led to believe it's Randy. Like the principal, there's so many people that they

47:09.127 --> 47:11.992
let us think could be the killer, which is one of my favorite parts of

47:12.492 --> 47:15.837
the movie. Yeah, it's very well done. Um, so we're at the

47:16.337 --> 47:19.362
party now. Dewey has brought Tatum and Sidney, I think, like, like given them a

47:19.862 --> 47:23.575
ride. Yes. And then Gale is there, like, not far behind. And Gale and Dewey

47:23.607 --> 47:27.881
are being very flirty with each other. It's like we see the real life relationship

47:28.026 --> 47:31.998
happening, right? Between— what

47:32.498 --> 47:35.760
an odd pairing. Yeah, that never made sense to me. I guess it's one of

47:36.260 --> 47:39.527
those— like, look, as an overweight, bald, funny guy,

47:39.816 --> 47:43.438
I really should respect the idea that sometimes being funny is the way into

47:43.938 --> 47:47.311
a girl's heart. And David Arquette must be fucking hilarious at some

47:47.811 --> 47:50.450
point in his life because I don't really see it, but like, that's gotta be

47:50.466 --> 47:53.606
what happened, right? He must be a funny, funny guy. I've heard her,

47:53.622 --> 47:57.263
like, years ago in interviews, talking about him, and, you know, she's just like over

47:57.763 --> 48:00.982
the moon. Everything he does is brilliant. Oh, and he does music, and I love

48:01.014 --> 48:04.925
when he does the— sings these songs so soulful. And it's really funny because she

48:05.425 --> 48:08.067
used to date Adam Duritz from The Counting Crows. That's right, yes. And it's funny

48:08.567 --> 48:13.341
for Adam Duritz to be like, she said all that stuff about my music.

48:13.934 --> 48:17.188
David Arquette just playing a guitar at a campfire is getting the

48:17.688 --> 48:21.596
same props as August and everything after. What the fuck? But apparently Courteney Cox's

48:21.613 --> 48:25.107
type is weird-looking dudes who like are vaguely musical. Like,

48:25.123 --> 48:28.992
that's kind of like her guy, I guess. Like, artistic weirdos

48:29.137 --> 48:32.254
is Courteney Cox's type. I missed my— I missed my chance, I guess.

48:32.752 --> 48:36.302
Yeah. Um, so Gale— Gale has kind

48:36.802 --> 48:39.371
of gone into the party with Dewey, and Dewey's like, oh, she's my guest.

48:39.580 --> 48:42.423
And Dewey's like fucking with people, like, hey, put that beer down. Are you— ah,

48:42.568 --> 48:45.653
just kidding. Which is like, that is actually a minor drinking alcohol,

48:45.685 --> 48:48.993
and you are actually a law enforcement officer. It's probably something you ought to actually

48:49.493 --> 48:52.402
deal with. Um, and she manages to,

48:52.714 --> 48:57.130
to put a camera Yeah. In the party. Yeah. Very discreet.

48:57.630 --> 49:00.010
Just cameras sitting on top of— Sitting on a VCR or whatever. But I do

49:00.510 --> 49:03.010
love that this camera thing works because, or the way it works, 'cause it's got

49:03.510 --> 49:06.450
like a 30-second delay. Brilliant. So fantastic. Such a great choice.

49:06.950 --> 49:09.730
'Cause they could have made it a thing that just real time, like whatever.

49:10.230 --> 49:12.410
Like they could have. 'Cause they have like the van, they have all that capability.

49:12.910 --> 49:15.310
Oh, if you had told me they had that ability 'cause they're the news van,

49:15.810 --> 49:18.510
I would've bought it in a second, even in 1996. But having the delay gives

49:19.010 --> 49:22.270
this great thing that keeps showing up over the next, 'cause we're basically into the

49:22.770 --> 49:26.524
3rd act here. And this 30-second delay matters in several

49:26.540 --> 49:29.990
different spots, which is really great. I think Stu asks

49:30.490 --> 49:32.557
Tatum for a beer. That's, by the way, I don't think we mentioned, but Stu

49:33.057 --> 49:35.381
and Tatum are dating. So Rose McGowan and Matthew Lillard, they're dating as well.

49:36.167 --> 49:38.654
He asks her for a beer, for refill, whatever. So she goes out to the

49:39.154 --> 49:42.328
garage to go get some beers, and she decides to grab 6 or 7 and

49:42.828 --> 49:45.536
just carry them in her arms. Like ridiculous. Like just bring the whole fucking 6-pack

49:46.036 --> 49:49.082
at that point. But the door back into the house gets locked on her.

49:49.483 --> 49:52.114
And so she like kind of knocks like, hey idiots, like what the fuck,

49:52.130 --> 49:54.954
you know, kind of thing. So then she goes to like open the garage door

49:55.454 --> 49:58.419
to walk out and come back around. She opens, sets the garage door open,

49:58.548 --> 50:01.339
and then starts walking towards it and it starts closing again. And that's when she

50:01.839 --> 50:04.420
turns around and the killer is there. But you know, it's just a guy and

50:04.920 --> 50:07.275
it's not holding a knife. It's the guy in the mask. And again, we've established

50:07.775 --> 50:10.596
this is a well-known costume, right? And they're do— they've been doing it to fuck

50:10.644 --> 50:13.548
with each other over the last few days. So of course at this party where

50:14.048 --> 50:17.320
everyone's getting drunk, like And I think she thinks it's Randy. I think

50:17.820 --> 50:19.820
she talks to him as if it's Randy or whatever, and the guy kind of,

50:20.320 --> 50:22.759
you know, like shrugs, like, you know, kind of plays a little pantomime for a

50:23.259 --> 50:26.200
minute, but then pulls out the knife.

50:26.700 --> 50:29.300
Yes. And it's like, whatever. And so I think, like, you know, cuts her arm,

50:29.800 --> 50:32.700
like really just kind of slices a bit of her arm. She drops the beers,

50:33.200 --> 50:35.340
but then she starts fighting back. She's throwing beers at the guy, like cracking them.

50:35.840 --> 50:39.560
Chucking the bottles. Really great stuff. Yeah. And then my both

50:40.060 --> 50:43.509
favorite and least favorite moment in the entire film happens. Yeah. I love the creativity

50:44.009 --> 50:46.699
of this kill. It's like one of my— it's— I will point out this as

50:46.795 --> 50:50.337
one of the most creative kills I've ever seen. And it also is so physically

50:50.837 --> 50:53.286
impossible that it's hard for me to kind of like deal with. Yeah. Right?

50:53.382 --> 50:57.084
Garage doors have so many sensors, and this is a rolling garage

50:57.148 --> 51:00.337
door. This is not the old-school flip-up, right? This is a rolling garage door.

51:00.594 --> 51:03.911
There's so many things that would've stopped— like, first of all, the weight. It's not

51:04.411 --> 51:06.764
gonna be able to carry a person. You know, it would've— as soon as there

51:07.264 --> 51:09.361
was any resistance, it would've stopped, like all this stuff. But the fact that it

51:09.473 --> 51:12.746
lit— she goes through the like cat door, door and gets stuck. Yeah,

51:12.939 --> 51:15.797
I guess her boobs or something. Yeah, but her boobs were through. That's the thing.

51:15.894 --> 51:18.672
So she either should be able to go back or go forward. It's weird where

51:18.721 --> 51:21.901
she gets stuck. And obviously it's just for the moment. As somebody with

51:22.174 --> 51:25.563
the automatic garage door who's run into times where it's like, I'm trying to

51:25.611 --> 51:29.144
leave the house and it's closing, and then like a flap for a

51:29.644 --> 51:32.726
box like crosses the plane of the sensor and then it goes— it's

51:33.226 --> 51:36.099
like, mother— exactly. Like, I wish I had that reliable of a garage door.

51:36.468 --> 51:40.560
So yeah, like you said, It's, it's unlikely that it would actually work

51:41.060 --> 51:43.820
that way, but what a creative way to, uh, to have somebody die in a

51:44.320 --> 51:47.600
horror movie. Yeah, from a guy who's like written hundreds of deaths, you know?

51:48.100 --> 51:49.800
Exactly. And that's the thing too, is like, so I love it because I love

51:50.300 --> 51:52.460
the creativity behind it, but I also kind of like, fuck, it's like the least

51:52.960 --> 51:56.540
realistic way anyone dies in this movie, or in many other— not all,

51:57.040 --> 51:59.800
obviously, but many other movies. Yeah, yeah. Um, but now, but Tatum is dead and

52:00.300 --> 52:02.640
also kind of like not seen by anyone. Like, that's the other key too,

52:03.140 --> 52:04.860
is like this garage is sort of off the side of the house. You know,

52:05.360 --> 52:07.569
sometimes houses are built like that, right? The garage door's in Not in the front,

52:07.585 --> 52:10.700
so like nobody sees her right away or anything. Killer goes back into the

52:11.200 --> 52:14.779
party apparently. I'm surprised that a party of people who need beers send someone

52:14.795 --> 52:18.375
for beers, don't get their beers, and nobody goes— like forget about checking

52:18.488 --> 52:22.197
on the person, go get the beers for everyone. Or was there like other beer

52:22.697 --> 52:25.216
in the inside fridge? I mean, there's all kinds of like potential questions here.

52:25.729 --> 52:29.310
But basically Sidney and Billy are gonna go chat because Billy's kind of like,

52:29.326 --> 52:32.827
you still don't think it's me, do you? Like whatever, like it obviously isn't me,

52:32.955 --> 52:36.712
da da da da da, whatever. And this is when they— like

52:37.212 --> 52:40.920
Sidney decides, okay, We can bang. Yeah, apparently she decides like I need

52:41.420 --> 52:44.890
to trust that it wasn't you. It's not you. Whatever. Let's go ahead.

52:45.390 --> 52:48.900
And then kind of simultaneously with this happening is Randy down in the living room.

52:49.400 --> 52:53.040
They're watching Halloween. Yeah, the original. And he's talking about the rules of

52:53.540 --> 52:56.120
a horror movie. And and this is like one of the more famous honestly will

52:56.620 --> 52:59.760
almost assuredly be the intro clip right for this episode because it's great stuff.

53:00.260 --> 53:03.520
And he's talking about how like you know the virgin always survives. You don't ever

53:04.020 --> 53:06.120
have sex. Don't ever drink or do drugs. Like everything he says, all the people

53:06.620 --> 53:09.896
are like oh no that sucks. Yeah, whatever. And he's like never say. gonna be

53:10.396 --> 53:12.637
right back, whatever. And that's when Stu gets up and goes like, I'll be right

53:13.137 --> 53:16.934
back. Yeah, yeah, kind of thing. Um, and then it's like when he mentions nudity

53:16.982 --> 53:20.220
at one point, we cut back up to Sid and Billy.

53:20.652 --> 53:23.923
But of course, uh, uh, Neve Campbell did not agree to do— to be nude

53:24.003 --> 53:27.850
in the film, so there's like, uh, creative camera work, but she's taking her top

53:28.350 --> 53:31.104
off and Billy and her are gonna get down, get down to business up there,

53:31.617 --> 53:34.967
as kids are wont to do. Yeah, so we got that, we got that happening.

53:35.304 --> 53:39.094
Uh, Dewey approaches Gale outside, right, and says like,

53:39.158 --> 53:42.468
hey, there's a, you know, someone said there's like a car down

53:42.968 --> 53:45.295
the road, like in the bush, go check it out, like do you want to

53:45.795 --> 53:49.135
come with me? And this again, like, is it Dewey? Like,

53:49.392 --> 53:52.557
Dewey's still a suspect, right, in our minds, at least in the audience,

53:52.605 --> 53:55.545
for sure. And this is like a little shady, and is he gonna now do

53:56.045 --> 53:58.581
something to Gale, right, whatever? Because I do feel like we have given— been given

53:58.614 --> 54:02.052
no reason to think that Gale could possibly be the killer, right? I mean,

54:02.068 --> 54:04.920
for one thing, the voice on the The phone's obviously male, and even if it

54:05.420 --> 54:08.300
is sort of like adjusted, it sounds very male. So there's not really any women

54:08.800 --> 54:11.880
in this that are ever pointed at, right, as suspects. But could it be Dewey?

54:12.380 --> 54:16.220
I don't know, maybe. Well, so at the same time that, uh, they're walking

54:16.720 --> 54:19.780
down the street, I can't remember what it is, but all the guys at the,

54:20.280 --> 54:23.540
at the, uh, party still who were watching Halloween with Randy decide to get up

54:24.040 --> 54:26.620
and leave. There's something going on at the school or something. I don't remember what

54:27.120 --> 54:30.060
exactly. Oh, the principal! They found the principal. That's right, they found out that the

54:30.560 --> 54:33.060
principal died. And he's like hanging from the football field goalposts or something like that,

54:33.560 --> 54:35.780
right? And so they're all like, oh my God, we gotta go see it.

54:36.280 --> 54:37.810
We gotta go see it. Yeah. And they all— and they were all like,

54:37.820 --> 54:41.580
when they find out the principal's dead, they're all like celebrating. They're cheering.

54:42.080 --> 54:45.780
Wow. Like, brutal, dude. When they— when they first showed the party they

54:46.280 --> 54:50.039
had, like, after he canceled classes, they're playing School's Out by Alice Cooper. It's like,

54:50.539 --> 54:54.040
we need a new song about school being out, even in 20 years later in

54:54.540 --> 54:58.680
1996. Um, so, uh, so Dewey and

54:59.180 --> 55:02.260
Gale end up finding in the bushes a car, and it's Neil Prescott's car,

55:02.760 --> 55:05.970
Sidney's dad's car. Yeah, because they almost get hit by the drunk assholes leaving the

55:06.470 --> 55:09.470
party and they run off the road and kind of, you know, they dive and

55:09.970 --> 55:11.930
Dewey ends up on top of Gale and there's like a moment for them.

55:12.430 --> 55:14.950
And then yeah, they find this car and Dewey's able to recognize quickly. I don't

55:15.450 --> 55:17.150
know if it's something that he already knew what license plate to look for or

55:17.650 --> 55:20.370
whatever, but he recognizes that it's Neil Prescott's car and he's like, oh my God,

55:20.870 --> 55:24.010
Neil's here. Like, that's his first mind. It's not that Neil's in trouble or something

55:24.510 --> 55:27.910
happened to Neil. It's that Neil is here and he's the killer. Because that's the

55:28.410 --> 55:30.979
thing is the sheriff and Dewey have been suspecting, could it be Neil? It's a

55:31.236 --> 55:34.754
1-year anniversary from his wife's rape and murder. And so is it, is it

55:35.254 --> 55:38.208
just, is he snapped finally and he's getting revenge? Like, is that kind of what's

55:38.708 --> 55:41.373
going on? And he probably went through the whole process of being a suspect,

55:41.421 --> 55:45.052
at least for a little while, when his wife was killed. Yes. So the

55:45.552 --> 55:48.892
cops know this guy very well. Exactly. Um, we cut back to the

55:49.392 --> 55:52.394
house, back to Stu's house, where, you know, Billy and Sidney are wrapping up their,

55:52.587 --> 55:56.025
their little session, getting dressed, like, whatever. And, and Sid

55:56.073 --> 55:59.370
still is not— she's not She's not 100% convinced that Billy's not the guy.

55:59.870 --> 56:03.390
So she looks and goes, who'd you call? When, you know, when you got one—

56:03.890 --> 56:05.210
he's like, what do you mean? Like, well, you get one call in jail,

56:05.710 --> 56:08.290
which I don't think is actually true. I think that's like a standard movie sort

56:08.790 --> 56:10.390
of kind of bullshit thing. It's kind of like, if you're a cop, you have

56:10.890 --> 56:12.770
to tell me. Right, yeah, I think it's that kind of thing. But anyway,

56:13.270 --> 56:15.350
regardless, this is, you know, whatever. And he goes, oh, I called my dad.

56:15.850 --> 56:19.180
And she's like, no, like, I saw the sheriff call your dad.

56:19.430 --> 56:22.770
So who'd you call? And he's like, what are you talking about? And she's like,

56:23.270 --> 56:27.150
well, you wouldn't use your one call to call me. like, to pretend,

56:27.650 --> 56:30.130
you know, because of whatever— because they're basically saying, I still think you could be

56:30.630 --> 56:33.870
the killer. Yeah, kind of thing. Uh, and then this is when the

56:34.370 --> 56:38.510
killer shows up, busts in the room, and stabs Billy like several

56:39.010 --> 56:42.250
times, and he's bleeding, and oh my God, he's covered, and she freaks the fuck

56:42.750 --> 56:44.690
out and is able to like get out the window, I think, out on the

56:45.190 --> 56:47.710
roof. She's out on the roof, uh, So I Married an Axe Murderer style.

56:48.210 --> 56:51.590
Yeah, yeah. Um, yeah, and she's out there on the roof,

56:52.090 --> 56:55.050
doesn't really have anywhere to go, but luckily there's like a covered boat. Yeah,

56:55.550 --> 56:58.110
so she jumps down and just kind of softly lands She kind of falls.

56:58.610 --> 57:01.570
I think she like slips over. Yeah, it's— thank God she has like this trampoline-style

57:02.070 --> 57:05.410
boat. Yeah, they're like— yeah, it's crazy. There must be 5,000 cushions

57:05.910 --> 57:07.410
in the back of that thing or else that really would have hurt. But the

57:07.910 --> 57:11.010
boat is in front of the garage, which has the open door and Tatum dead

57:11.510 --> 57:15.010
hanging there. So Sidney sees that, fucking freaking out,

57:15.510 --> 57:19.110
right? Um, I think— does she make her way to the van? No, there's like

57:19.610 --> 57:22.010
a barn or something. She like runs towards like a garage or barn, some other

57:22.510 --> 57:25.430
building that's there, and it's like trying whatever. And that's when Gale returns with the

57:25.930 --> 57:29.721
news van. van and like crashes it. Uh, what does she

57:30.221 --> 57:33.502
crash into? She crashes something. So first I think they're in the van watching the

57:34.002 --> 57:37.172
video. Oh, right, right, right, that's right. So they have this video on tape delay

57:37.252 --> 57:40.985
and it's Gail. And then she's— throughout the movie, Gail is with her cameraman.

57:41.578 --> 57:45.167
Yeah, I don't know the name of the guy, uh, later known for playing

57:45.279 --> 57:48.820
the have you seen my baseball guy in Something About Mary, which he probably would

57:49.320 --> 57:53.098
not be recast in a remake. And then he also played, uh, Dan Doherty

57:53.274 --> 57:56.917
on, uh, Deadwood. Oh, so one of, uh, the main henchmen.

57:57.142 --> 58:00.513
Nice. Um, so they're watching this video and

58:01.013 --> 58:03.869
they're on tape delay, right? They see everyone run out of the house, everyone leaves,

58:03.885 --> 58:07.128
and they don't see that on the video yet. Yeah. And I think they notice,

58:07.401 --> 58:10.725
um, that the killer's behind Randy. Yeah, yeah,

58:10.789 --> 58:14.321
because he's the only one left watching the movie, right? Yeah. And it's

58:14.821 --> 58:17.484
like, dude, he's about to go out, but this is still 30 seconds before.

58:17.773 --> 58:21.274
And really, the killer has made his way out to the van, right? And takes

58:21.370 --> 58:24.760
out the camera. That's right. So he's, he's dead. When Gale ends up coming back

58:25.260 --> 58:27.900
to the van, she sees him dead, and that's when she decides to do her

58:28.400 --> 58:30.620
horrible driving. Well, it's— no, it's more like she gets in and there's like blood

58:31.120 --> 58:34.040
all over the front or whatever. That's right. She uses the windshield wiper and then

58:34.540 --> 58:37.740
he like falls off the roof. Brutal. And then, yeah, then she ends up crashing

58:38.240 --> 58:41.980
the van. That's how that went. Um, and so, but now we're— somebody gets

58:42.480 --> 58:45.800
Dewey's gun. I think Sid— Sidney gets Dewey's gun.

58:46.300 --> 58:48.540
I'm all confused now. Darn it, I just watched this the other day. But like,

58:49.040 --> 58:51.340
Dewey gets stabbed in the back. That's right, right? That's right. He stumbles out of

58:51.840 --> 58:54.230
the van the house having been stabbed in the back. And Sidney goes to kind

58:54.730 --> 58:58.400
of seek refuge in the police Jeep. She's in Stewie's, uh, Cherokee.

58:58.530 --> 59:01.790
And, uh, and, you know, she locks the door and stuff, and she's doing,

59:01.930 --> 59:04.830
okay, well, where's the keys? The visor clearly is where the keys are. And she

59:05.330 --> 59:08.230
looks, there's no keys in the visor, and the killer's outside and kind of dangles

59:08.730 --> 59:11.330
the keys at her and then ducks under. So we had this great scene of

59:11.830 --> 59:14.530
her trying— like, the door lock pops up and then she pops it down.

59:14.590 --> 59:18.530
Again, doesn't work with automatic door locks. Like, there's certain technology that has

59:19.030 --> 59:21.230
ruined things like this. Yeah, you would be able to open all of the locks

59:21.730 --> 59:25.470
super easily today. Like, yeah, yeah. Visually, like, an automatic door lock opening

59:25.970 --> 59:29.270
doesn't look that cool unless it physically, like, pops up and down. For sure.

59:29.770 --> 59:33.210
Um, and, uh, let's see. So she's in there, and then Stu

59:33.710 --> 59:36.750
and, uh, she— what the fuck did

59:37.250 --> 59:40.330
she do? So, so all I remember for sure is, like, somebody gets— somebody gets

59:40.830 --> 59:43.350
a hold of the gun. Sidney gets a hold of the gun eventually. And,

59:43.850 --> 59:47.130
uh, Stu and Randy are both outside saying, that's right, they're the—

59:47.630 --> 59:49.390
he's the killer. No, he's the killer. Like, whatever. Like, pointing at each other.

59:49.410 --> 59:52.750
And Sidney, like, doesn't listen to either of them, just closes the door, locks She's

59:53.250 --> 59:56.410
got the pistol, she's got Dewey's gun. Billy comes down the stairs

59:56.910 --> 59:59.630
stumbling, you know, like, oh, like, but like, oh my God, Billy's alive! Like,

01:00:00.130 --> 01:00:03.030
wow, you know, graphic fall, really good. Good tumble. Tumbles down the stairs and is

01:00:03.530 --> 01:00:06.730
like, oh my God, Sidney, I'm not dead yet, you know, whatever. And, uh,

01:00:07.230 --> 01:00:08.670
he goes to the door and she's like, no, no, no, no, he's out there.

01:00:09.170 --> 01:00:10.910
And she's like, no, no, give me the gun, it's okay, it's okay. So she

01:00:11.410 --> 01:00:13.790
hands the gun over to Billy because now she's seen him get stabbed by the

01:00:14.290 --> 01:00:17.470
killer, so she is 1,000% convinced Billy is not the bad guy.

01:00:18.299 --> 01:00:22.057
And so he opens the door and Randy is there, and Randy comes

01:00:22.153 --> 01:00:25.301
running in, and that's when Billy like turns and like,

01:00:25.366 --> 01:00:28.305
like Randy says something about like, oh my God, he went mad and ran off,

01:00:28.433 --> 01:00:31.453
talking about Stu. And Billy quotes Norman Bates from Psycho and says,

01:00:31.485 --> 01:00:34.954
well, we all go a little mad sometimes, and shoots Randy like in the kind

01:00:35.454 --> 01:00:38.392
of upper chest, the standard, uh, Louis Gossett Jr. Went all the way through.

01:00:38.472 --> 01:00:41.138
Went all the way through, sort of like safe, safe place to get shot.

01:00:41.186 --> 01:00:44.592
So Randy will be okay. Um, but yeah, so now Sidney

01:00:44.656 --> 01:00:48.399
freaks out, Billy like attacks her, and then Stu

01:00:48.431 --> 01:00:51.451
shows up back again, whatever. And now we get kind of the big confession.

01:00:52.029 --> 01:00:55.194
And so there's like all this fake blood everywhere. Billy says it's corn syrup,

01:00:55.242 --> 01:00:57.234
just like they used in Carrie, you know, whatever.

01:00:58.551 --> 01:01:02.085
And they basically confess that like— first, this is one of my issues with

01:01:02.585 --> 01:01:03.836
this movie, that I don't have a lot of them. One of them is like

01:01:04.336 --> 01:01:06.583
this whole thing where Billy makes a big deal about how there's no motive and

01:01:07.083 --> 01:01:10.920
it's so much scarier when there's no motive. Right. Also, I killed

01:01:11.420 --> 01:01:14.336
your mom. because she was sleeping with my dad and broke up my parents.

01:01:14.529 --> 01:01:17.639
Yeah. So I was like, okay, well, that's clearly a motive. Now, I guess the

01:01:18.139 --> 01:01:21.392
idea is that the further killings were just, well, it was fun to kill one

01:01:21.424 --> 01:01:24.470
person. Let's go kill some more. Like, so I guess there is no true motive

01:01:24.970 --> 01:01:28.319
for those. At one point, she asks Stu, what's your motive? 'Cause I have called

01:01:28.819 --> 01:01:31.846
the cops. What are you gonna say? He's like, peer pressure. But basically,

01:01:31.862 --> 01:01:35.967
their idea here is that they are gonna stab each other so that they are

01:01:36.015 --> 01:01:38.709
also injured and can claim, right, that they were also victims.

01:01:39.383 --> 01:01:43.446
But they've got Neil. They've got Sidney's dad. He's like tied up, bandaged over

01:01:43.462 --> 01:01:46.594
the mouth, duct taped, the whole deal. And they're basically gonna frame him.

01:01:46.931 --> 01:01:50.063
They've got his cell phone, his car in the bushes, you know,

01:01:50.207 --> 01:01:52.729
whatever. Like, he's gonna have his hands on the knife, all this kind of stuff,

01:01:52.793 --> 01:01:55.892
and he's gonna kill himself after with the gun after he kills,

01:01:56.471 --> 01:01:59.795
uh, her, basically. Right. So the only people that are gonna survive are Stu

01:02:00.295 --> 01:02:03.938
and Billy. That's their plan. And, you know, they don't have to necessarily explain all

01:02:04.438 --> 01:02:06.186
this stuff, but of course they do because it's standard movie villain stuff. stuff.

01:02:06.667 --> 01:02:09.487
Um, but this is when— if you kill for fun, you have to get off

01:02:09.987 --> 01:02:13.429
on explaining why you did it, right? And Billy goes to stab

01:02:13.813 --> 01:02:16.922
Stu, and they've, they've talked to each other about where to stab and whatever,

01:02:17.018 --> 01:02:19.069
but it hurts, I think, a lot more than either of them were expecting.

01:02:19.245 --> 01:02:22.802
Yeah. Uh, and this is one of, one of Heather's favorite lines in this movie,

01:02:23.267 --> 01:02:26.087
is when Billy turns to ask Stu to do something, he goes,

01:02:26.632 --> 01:02:29.148
Billy, I'm feeling woozy here.

01:02:30.061 --> 01:02:32.545
Like, woozy is just such a funny way to put it. It was good.

01:02:32.945 --> 01:02:36.681
I Stu and Matthew Lillard is bringing like real

01:02:37.247 --> 01:02:40.870
Anthony Kiedis in Point Break energy to like this whole scene. Like, okay,

01:02:40.886 --> 01:02:44.118
that would be a waste of time. Like, I'm just out of

01:02:44.618 --> 01:02:47.946
my fucking mind the way I talk, you know? Like a, like a

01:02:48.446 --> 01:02:52.230
14-year-old trying to do a Jack Nicholson impression or something like that. Or Christian

01:02:52.730 --> 01:02:54.379
Slater, period. Oh, absolutely.

01:02:58.956 --> 01:03:03.237
Um, so, uh, it's— so

01:03:03.737 --> 01:03:06.283
the gun disappears. Like, like Stu goes to get the gun because they're gonna kill

01:03:06.331 --> 01:03:09.795
Sidney, they're gonna do this whole thing, right? Oh, and there at this point there's

01:03:10.295 --> 01:03:13.483
like a sound effect of like the guys who've been stabbed. Yeah, like literally the

01:03:13.563 --> 01:03:16.978
blood like dripping on the floor, which is crazy. So good.

01:03:17.155 --> 01:03:20.458
I was like, oh, that's— that really— because he gets stabbed several times. Like Billy

01:03:20.522 --> 01:03:24.130
takes one. Yep. Uh, in the side, but like he stabs Stu

01:03:24.630 --> 01:03:28.120
like 3 or 4 times. Yeah, way too many times. Way more unnecessary,

01:03:28.620 --> 01:03:30.580
which I think is sort of like Billy's plan all along. For sure. I'm gonna

01:03:31.080 --> 01:03:34.460
kill him as well. Wild card knowing about all your serious shit. Fucking Charlie

01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:38.660
Day over here. Fucking like, um, but yeah, like, uh, so Gale pops

01:03:39.160 --> 01:03:41.620
up with the gun. Yes. They're looking for the gun. They're like, where's the gun?

01:03:42.120 --> 01:03:45.040
And then there's Gale in the door. Yep, exactly right. And she's got the gun

01:03:45.540 --> 01:03:49.060
and she's ready to shoot them and fails to. That's right. Yeah, she just

01:03:49.560 --> 01:03:52.200
like does— has the safety on or whatever. And Billy makes a comment about having

01:03:52.700 --> 01:03:55.428
the safety on, like, is able to get gun back from her. And then he

01:03:55.928 --> 01:03:59.635
does the— one of my favorite evil guy moves is like the Gary Oldman

01:03:59.683 --> 01:04:03.440
in The Professional evil neck crack. Yeah, like where you kind of tilt your

01:04:03.940 --> 01:04:07.309
head and it cracks like 5 times. Great move by Billy, uh,

01:04:07.935 --> 01:04:11.195
or Jimmy, Billy, whatever the fuck. Skeet, uh,

01:04:11.403 --> 01:04:14.871
Skeet, Skeet, Skeet. Um, but they go back to the kitchen. Yeah,

01:04:15.032 --> 01:04:18.484
Sidney and her dad are both gone, and they're like, wait a fuck, now where,

01:04:18.548 --> 01:04:21.840
you know, where, where are they? Kind thing. And so now I

01:04:22.340 --> 01:04:25.520
think— does she call one of them? Like, there's like— she's— or no, the voice

01:04:26.020 --> 01:04:28.040
comes on. She's got the modulator now. Yes. So I don't know if she calls

01:04:28.540 --> 01:04:31.220
them. Yeah, cuz that's right, cuz Stu ends up on the phone and that's when

01:04:31.720 --> 01:04:33.480
she asked him, I have called 911. Stu, what are you gonna tell them your

01:04:33.980 --> 01:04:36.600
motive is? Peer pressure.

01:04:37.100 --> 01:04:40.340
But basically they're like hiding, and then, and then Sidney

01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:44.420
is in the outfit and busts out from like— it looks like store stairs

01:04:44.920 --> 01:04:46.740
to like a basement or something, or maybe a closet. It's something that in the

01:04:47.240 --> 01:04:50.585
hallway and like stabs Billy, I think, with an umbrella. Yeah. That's awesome.

01:04:50.665 --> 01:04:53.823
It's a good move. I mean, I think she heard the story

01:04:53.919 --> 01:04:57.478
about that assassination with like the ricin on the tip of the umbrella,

01:04:57.766 --> 01:05:00.716
and she didn't realize that was a ricinless umbrella, so it was not quite as

01:05:00.812 --> 01:05:03.938
lethal. No, not quite. But still, a nice, nice way to— nice way to get

01:05:04.438 --> 01:05:07.240
at somebody. It's still lethal if you get it deep enough. Yeah, yeah.

01:05:07.785 --> 01:05:10.879
And if you open it from there, that really opens the wound. So, uh,

01:05:11.809 --> 01:05:15.400
so Stu is, uh, She's like struggling with him and

01:05:15.900 --> 01:05:18.820
pushes the TV over. I mean, she also lifts it. Like,

01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:21.980
it's— that is so heavy. Those things are like 90 pounds. Have you ever tried

01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:25.960
to like dispose of one of those? No, never actually. Like, I've let

01:05:26.460 --> 01:05:29.100
movers do it. Like, I can't even like— I remember I had this like,

01:05:29.600 --> 01:05:33.400
it was like 36-inch but like super deep dish. It must have weighed like 350

01:05:33.900 --> 01:05:36.520
pounds. Oh my God. And it moved to too many different houses with me.

01:05:37.020 --> 01:05:39.880
I'm like, what the fuck? This is crazy. So like you said, we need a

01:05:40.380 --> 01:05:43.809
new hashtag for our podcast because we've now seen in 3 different films Yes,

01:05:43.937 --> 01:05:47.389
somebody get a cathode ray tube TV to the face. Yes.

01:05:47.469 --> 01:05:50.247
Well, I know— did Stallone actually take it to the face in Demolition Man,

01:05:50.279 --> 01:05:53.394
or was he just kind of a threat? He swung it around by the cord

01:05:53.490 --> 01:05:57.119
and hit Simon Phoenix with it. Not in the face, right? But he

01:05:57.199 --> 01:06:00.555
did say the very funny, very clever line, you're on TV. Yeah.

01:06:00.732 --> 01:06:04.103
So, so we have CRT television as a weapon. We have it there. We had

01:06:04.603 --> 01:06:07.459
in Grosse Pointe Blank. That's how gross— Grosse Pointe Blank. And here, this is Stu's

01:06:07.539 --> 01:06:10.267
end, is this, because those really are incredibly dangerous. Dangerous once you get inside of

01:06:10.767 --> 01:06:14.642
them. Yeah. Um, but yeah, so, uh, and then we've got one

01:06:14.690 --> 01:06:18.327
last moment here where Gale is back, uh,

01:06:18.519 --> 01:06:21.884
not dead, and she's got the gun again and she shoots Billy. Yes.

01:06:21.980 --> 01:06:24.913
And so now Billy's dead, Stu's dead, Neil and Sidney are alive,

01:06:24.945 --> 01:06:27.397
Gale's alive, Dewey's alive, Randy's alive.

01:06:28.214 --> 01:06:31.723
Everybody else we've met is dead. Basically everybody else who had a speaking

01:06:31.755 --> 01:06:34.864
line except for maybe the sheriff. Like, there's so many bodies in this fucking

01:06:35.364 --> 01:06:38.203
movie. But yeah, and that's,

01:06:38.653 --> 01:06:41.047
that's pretty much how it is. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's like we've got,

01:06:41.063 --> 01:06:44.164
you know, the killers have been— have confessed. Yep. Now they're dead.

01:06:44.742 --> 01:06:48.036
Uh, you know, Gale has got a great set, you know, whatever,

01:06:48.052 --> 01:06:51.250
I don't know, second half of her book about, you know, the actual murder of

01:06:51.346 --> 01:06:54.576
Sidney's mother. Uh, because now, now Billy confessed to

01:06:55.076 --> 01:06:58.015
it and everything, and it's not Cotton Weary or whatever his name is, Liev Schreiber,

01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:01.517
right? Uh, yeah, so there's— that's how the movie ends, and it really is— there's

01:07:01.566 --> 01:07:04.971
no need for an epilogue. No, you know, it's just very clean. I mean,

01:07:05.084 --> 01:07:08.858
like, wire to wire, this movie doesn't

01:07:09.358 --> 01:07:12.842
stray from like what it's trying to do. Like, very, very efficient. So absolutely,

01:07:13.757 --> 01:07:17.034
that is Scream. That's Scream. Yeah, so I'll go ahead and I'll give my notes

01:07:17.534 --> 01:07:20.199
first on it. Like, I, I, like, I really enjoyed this movie. I haven't seen

01:07:20.247 --> 01:07:22.801
it as many times as I feel like I should have over the years,

01:07:22.833 --> 01:07:25.403
but like I've made up for it. I think over the last like 5 years

01:07:25.903 --> 01:07:28.550
I've watched it like 3 times or something. Uh, it's It's just so much fun.

01:07:28.598 --> 01:07:32.063
Like I said at the opening of this, it's a great kind of meta parody—not

01:07:32.563 --> 01:07:35.640
quite parody, but definitely it's like meta about its genre—while also being

01:07:35.673 --> 01:07:38.576
just a tremendous example of the genre. It's a really good slasher flick.

01:07:39.266 --> 01:07:41.897
You know, it's not the original Nightmare on Elm Street. It's not, you know,

01:07:42.715 --> 01:07:45.859
Halloween. I mean, it doesn't quite go up there to me with some

01:07:46.359 --> 01:07:49.870
of the absolute greats of the genre, but it's a ton of fun,

01:07:50.030 --> 01:07:52.982
and it really is great. I really enjoyed it. I'm gonna give it a four

01:07:53.482 --> 01:07:56.144
out of five. I think that's where I'm at with Scream. Scream. Um, super enjoyable.

01:07:56.224 --> 01:07:59.484
Obviously, like you said, spawned sequels and spawned, uh, you know, the,

01:07:59.565 --> 01:08:02.600
the whole Scary Movie franchise really kind of came about because of this movie,

01:08:02.696 --> 01:08:05.121
or at least got the green light because of it. And then also there's stuff

01:08:05.621 --> 01:08:07.353
like I Know What You Did Last Summer and other movies that came out around

01:08:07.853 --> 01:08:09.939
the same time that, you know, there was this horror renaissance in the '90s.

01:08:10.035 --> 01:08:12.749
Like, yeah, I just feel like the early '80s and like the mid to late

01:08:13.249 --> 01:08:15.881
'90s had really fantastic horror movies, and in between those two it was like,

01:08:16.587 --> 01:08:18.755
eh, there was a couple of gems here and there, but like a lot of

01:08:19.255 --> 01:08:21.694
kind of misses. So yeah, so I'm a 4 out of 5 on Scream.

01:08:22.194 --> 01:08:24.713
Scream. All right. Yeah, the late '80s were kind of like, oh, we're getting sick

01:08:25.213 --> 01:08:28.550
of Freddy and Jason. Yeah, a little bit. But yeah, this was such a renaissance

01:08:28.631 --> 01:08:32.051
of the genre. Yeah. So having only seen this one time,

01:08:32.324 --> 01:08:35.631
a lot of it wasn't like super familiar to me, but there were different parts.

01:08:35.937 --> 01:08:39.132
I was like, oh yeah. And I really

01:08:39.164 --> 01:08:42.183
enjoy— I love talking about this with you, by the way. This was good.

01:08:43.162 --> 01:08:46.855
And I think this is one where the convo bumps an extra half point for

01:08:47.355 --> 01:08:50.526
you. Um, but yeah, I don't know like what you would want from this movie

01:08:50.558 --> 01:08:54.149
that it doesn't really give you. The actors are fine, like nobody's

01:08:54.165 --> 01:08:56.859
really that good in it, but they don't need to be really.

01:08:57.051 --> 01:09:00.610
Yeah. Um, and then the little plot holes like the garage

01:09:00.738 --> 01:09:04.553
door thing. What one I had a problem with is that, uh, when you

01:09:04.569 --> 01:09:09.074
go to jail, how they take your shoelaces but let you keep your voice modulator.

01:09:09.699 --> 01:09:12.809
No, but that's the thing is it wasn't Billy calling from there, that was Stu

01:09:13.066 --> 01:09:16.128
calling her. Oh, because they had two guys. So that was Sidney being like,

01:09:16.192 --> 01:09:18.790
I'm suspicious of this, but really, yeah, no, he didn't have That in jail.

01:09:19.040 --> 01:09:22.760
That was stupid. Okay, that makes much more sense because I was like, what the

01:09:23.260 --> 01:09:26.600
fuck? The cops in this town are garbage. Um, but yeah,

01:09:27.100 --> 01:09:30.260
a lot of fun, and it didn't have too much other than the shitty

01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:34.380
Don't Fear the Reaper song. There wasn't a lot of like '90s stuff that irritated

01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:37.900
me. Sometimes I'll be like, yeah, this fucking sucked. It sucked when we were kids

01:09:38.400 --> 01:09:40.880
and we thought we were— it was cool. But this is a blast of a

01:09:41.380 --> 01:09:43.640
movie, and if you haven't seen it, yeah, this is a— it's a fresh horror

01:09:44.140 --> 01:09:47.274
movie. It holds up very well for being 30 years old, you know, other than

01:09:47.290 --> 01:09:50.129
the technology stuff, but that's necessary to make it work anyway. Yep.

01:09:50.658 --> 01:09:54.139
Um, this was a great, uh, a great choice, Steve, and a great way

01:09:54.639 --> 01:09:57.908
to end Shocktoberfest II. Scream is a 4 out of 5 for me as well.

01:09:57.988 --> 01:10:01.469
So that's 8 out of 10 from the 2 dads on Scream. And as

01:10:01.565 --> 01:10:04.997
we are turning the calendar from October to November, next week is of course the

01:10:05.013 --> 01:10:08.526
first Wednesday in November. We're leaving Shocktoberfest II:

01:10:08.558 --> 01:10:12.407
Electric Boogaloo behind. That's it. Uh, we have— last

01:10:12.907 --> 01:10:16.259
year for November we did Cagevember and we did all Nicolas Cage movies. And this

01:10:16.759 --> 01:10:19.952
year, instead of doing like an actor-focused theme month, we're doing

01:10:20.452 --> 01:10:23.613
something a little different where we are going with another holiday theme month.

01:10:24.031 --> 01:10:27.306
And I decided we would call it Feast Mode,

01:10:27.820 --> 01:10:31.754
partly to give homage and to honor my favorite

01:10:32.254 --> 01:10:35.415
NFL player who never played on the 49ers. As a lifelong 49er fan— Who is

01:10:35.463 --> 01:10:38.096
this? Most of my favorite players all at least had some amount of time on

01:10:38.596 --> 01:10:41.998
the Niners. Marshawn Lynch. Cal great, Oakland native,

01:10:42.335 --> 01:10:44.728
my favorite player of all time who never put on the red and gold.

01:10:45.306 --> 01:10:48.694
Uh, he was of course called Beast Mode. So this is Feast Mode. And what

01:10:49.194 --> 01:10:52.355
is the feast of November? It is Thanksgiving. So we're gonna do Thanksgiving movies

01:10:52.611 --> 01:10:55.999
all November long. This was a little harder to do. There just aren't as many

01:10:56.064 --> 01:10:59.660
of them as there are, dude. Christmas movies and stuff. Go to pick horror movies.

01:10:59.917 --> 01:11:03.209
It's like easy, sweet. Christmas movies is fine. Yeah, but this

01:11:03.709 --> 01:11:05.969
was like a little tougher, but I think we got 4 4 really good ones

01:11:06.469 --> 01:11:10.135
that people are really gonna enjoy. Very nice. And, and keeping with like the theme

01:11:10.635 --> 01:11:12.843
of our podcast where we're kind of all over the place, we're not trying to

01:11:13.343 --> 01:11:16.112
be like a horror and action movie podcast, even though that's the kind of stuff

01:11:16.612 --> 01:11:20.134
that, like, you know, to quote Curly Bill, that's our kind of stuff.

01:11:20.759 --> 01:11:24.605
Um, but it's fun to find these movies that are like, that hit different parts

01:11:25.105 --> 01:11:28.643
of you. And, uh, and I picked one for Feast Mode that I had never

01:11:29.143 --> 01:11:33.101
seen before. Oh, interesting. I never saw it before. And, uh, through my Google

01:11:33.117 --> 01:11:36.088
search of what movie takes place at Thanksgiving, like,

01:11:36.313 --> 01:11:38.817
because I had one in my head which is coming in a few weeks,

01:11:38.833 --> 01:11:42.221
but I didn't have the other one. And, uh, and I thought,

01:11:42.430 --> 01:11:46.042
oh, like, I heard a lot of great things about this. They made a sequel

01:11:46.542 --> 01:11:49.944
of it. Uh, it stars people that are very well regarded and stuff and who

01:11:49.960 --> 01:11:53.572
I've really enjoyed in other, uh, work. Yeah. And it's so different than

01:11:54.072 --> 01:11:57.121
anything we've done, but I think now that I'm closer to the age of the

01:11:57.621 --> 01:12:00.814
stars than I was when it came out. Sure. Uh,

01:12:01.456 --> 01:12:04.747
I think maybe it would be the time to go to Minnesota and

01:12:05.247 --> 01:12:08.601
hang out with a couple of grumpy old men. Yes. So we're gonna

01:12:09.101 --> 01:12:12.519
watch, uh, we're gonna watch Grumpy Old Men from '93, I think. '93.

01:12:12.695 --> 01:12:15.553
Okay, 1993. Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon,

01:12:16.067 --> 01:12:19.423
Burgess Meredith. Yeah. Um, I got Ann-Margret,

01:12:19.439 --> 01:12:22.072
Ann-Margret, Darryl Hannah. This is one of those movies that I'll just tell you,

01:12:22.089 --> 01:12:25.157
like, I actually watched this movie several times when I was younger.

01:12:25.607 --> 01:12:28.419
I was into like Neil Simon and The Odd Couple. I used to watch The

01:12:28.919 --> 01:12:30.958
Odd Couple TV show on Nick at Nite, so I was a big Lemon Matthau

01:12:31.006 --> 01:12:34.284
guy. Uh, and so I saw this movie several times throughout high school and stuff,

01:12:34.621 --> 01:12:37.900
even though it really was not targeted at us at all. It's a movie where

01:12:38.400 --> 01:12:42.190
like everybody in this movie is somebody. This cast is like all somebodies.

01:12:42.559 --> 01:12:46.255
Kevin Pollak in a small role. Daryl Hannah. Even Christopher McDonald,

01:12:46.271 --> 01:12:49.830
Shooter McGavin, shows up at the end. For like 2 minutes.

01:12:50.170 --> 01:12:54.010
But yeah, that's awesome. So for our first Feast Mode movie, our first Thanksgiving movie

01:12:54.510 --> 01:12:57.510
of the year, we're gonna watch Grumpy Old Men, go up to Wabasha, Minnesota and

01:12:58.010 --> 01:13:00.470
hang out with those 2. I'm super looking forward to it because I did see

01:13:00.970 --> 01:13:04.390
it several times as a youth. I don't think I've— it's probably

01:13:04.890 --> 01:13:07.970
been 25 years maybe since I've seen it. So very excited to watch Grumpy Old

01:13:08.470 --> 01:13:12.230
Men. And thank you so much for choosing it. I think that's awesome. Heck yeah.

01:13:12.730 --> 01:13:14.790
