362 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:18,000 So, I think we are just also accustomed to Halloween being the spooky time of year, 363 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000 that mixing a joyous occasion like Christmas or just winter holidays in general, 364 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,000 with a story about murder or ghosts, it kind of seems like it would be... 365 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000 I don't know that juxtaposition there doesn't make the most sense. 366 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000 And then when you put it together, it's just so satisfying that I think 367 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,000 because we don't expect it to make sense is why it's so good, if that makes sense. 368 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000 Yeah. 369 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,000 You think that Christmas movies all have to be about happiness and family and falling in love, 370 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000 and Hallmark makes us think it's about two white people in Christmas sweaters 371 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000 saving the town square with cookies. 372 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000 And then when you watch you see one come out and it's about ghosts and murder 373 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000 and Santa slaughtering people, you're like, this isn't intriguing, it kind of mixes it up. 374 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Yeah. I agree. I think two people are just obsessed with true crime and stuff, 375 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,000 so the more these types of movies come out, the more people you will have that want to watch it. 376 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000 Especially nowadays I feel like true crime, not saying that these are true crime, 377 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,000 but it's in that genre. True crime is just becoming more and more popular. 378 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000 And people are psychologically into true crime. 379 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000 I know me and Olivia R into true crime or true crime fanatics. 380 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,000 Well, she is more than me way more than me. 381 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:47,000 So I used to be in one of my favorite podcasts besides this one, of course, they're breaking up. 382 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000 They just, you know, wine and crime pour one out for a wine and crime podcast. 383 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000 But I have to get to a new true crime. 384 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000 But no, I agree Nicole, like we all have a blood lust. 385 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,000 We're all blood lusty and thirsty. We want that. Gore. 386 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,000 Yeah, I also think Nicole went said, I wish I could see real dead bodies. 387 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:16,000 She's a real dude. She was reviewing some of the side for the holidays. 388 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Yeah, homicide for the holidays. And she's like, it was okay. 389 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000 And you either liked it because it did show the dead body. 390 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000 I did. Yeah. Yeah. They show the real dead bodies. 391 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000 They do. They show the real crime scene photos. 392 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000 You sick fuck. I love it. 393 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000 That's good. That's good. 394 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Blood lust. That's why we want it. 395 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:44,000 It's a blood lust. Yeah, I think I think it's also like people are expected to be happy 396 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:51,000 during the holidays. And like, you know, if you like even if you are a part of like a really tight-knit family, 397 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:58,000 they are stressful, like just being around immediate family, extended family can be a really stressful time, 398 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000 where it's not the Christmas we knew as children. 399 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:08,000 And so that kind of like those children's movie rewatching those movies and those stories 400 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000 necessarily might not resonate. So it's, I feel like it's also like these people seeking out kind of like an 401 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:24,000 aged up version of holidays or kind of putting the silliness of Christmas, but putting it into a horror one. 402 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:31,000 So yeah, I think it's been really, really interesting, you know, like some really early examples of these movies were like 403 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:38,000 whoever slew anti-rew, silent night, bloody night, black Christmas, and some of the other ones. 404 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,000 The one that I remember as a kid and I'm not sure if you guys have seen this, it came out in 1997. 405 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,000 It's Jack Frost. Now I will just claim here. This is not the one with Michael Keaton, right? 406 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000 It's not the Michael Keaton one. It's not the Michael Keaton one. 407 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000 It's not the Michael Keaton one. Yeah, no, it's not the Michael Keaton one. 408 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000 With the sad dad who like isn't there for a child. 409 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,000 Turn to a snowman or something. Yeah, why are all Christmas movies about absentee fathers? 410 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,000 Side down. That's weird. Yeah, that's suspicious. 411 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:18,000 So it's the one with Shannon Elizabeth, so the girl from American Pie and 13 Ghosts. 412 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000 Okay. 413 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:26,000 And so I don't know why they all have the same name. It's probably because it's like an older material that's like re-adapted. 414 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000 So it can't be copyrighted. Like Jack Frost has been around. So it's like what? The 20s? 415 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000 I mean, so many of these movies have the same title as we'll get to later. Like Silent Night. 416 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:43,000 There's tons of movies with that name. And I think that's just, you're trying to go off a holiday trope in the state of that set. 417 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,000 Yeah, the trip. 418 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000 Yeah. And they came out similar times. But if you've never seen the horror Jack Frost, it is so good. 419 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000 It's got the crap out of me as a kid. But it's the story is it's about a serial killer Jack Frost. 420 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:04,000 He's being driven to be executed. And so his caught and the truck carrying the murderer encounters a blizzard accident. 421 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,000 And he gets transformed into a mutant snowman as what is want to do. Yeah. 422 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000 So it is like the Michael Keaton Jack Frost. But instead it's a really evil person. 423 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:24,000 And so it follows the story of the sheriff who like caught this guy originally. And he somehow knew that he would return. 424 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:33,000 As a snowman. No, just that he would come back like after he caught him. But you know, they think he died in that accident. 425 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:41,000 So it's kind of like them finding this killer snowman. But I just remember him like for can murdering someone with his nose. 426 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Like his little carrot. And I was afraid of it forever from the Olivia could need carrots for years. 427 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,000 She gets wings and she's like celery only my god.

was like, that kind of reads as a little anti-vax. 618 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,440 Like he was the one who was right. 619 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,520 Everyone else who took the pill died and he didn't. 620 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:27,000 So I read an interview with the director who is a, she's a feminist director. 621 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,960 Camille Griffin, written and directed. 622 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,720 She's making fun of conservatives for a lot of the movie. 623 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,040 Even the main kid is saying things like, well, why don't the poor people or like the immigrants 624 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,360 get the suicide pill and they're like, that's just the way it is. 625 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,320 We get it and they don't. 626 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,600 So they're speaking a lot to like white privilege and rich privilege in this film. 627 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,680 But then in the end, it does kind of smack of anti-vax. 628 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,960 And she said in the interview, she's like, that was not my intention in the slightest. 629 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,200 She said, I made this movie before COVID. 630 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,200 I'm very pro-vaccine. 631 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,920 Like, and she goes, the fact that it came out after COVID and that's what everybody's like, 632 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,120 oh cool anti-vax film. 633 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520 She's like, I'm fucking kicking my self-friend. 634 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,880 That was not the whole point of the movie was. 635 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,520 But like one thing that they say in the movies is like, if you survived, you would become 636 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,440 like a weird zombie thing. 637 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,040 Yeah, like they say. 638 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,040 That's what I thought it was. 639 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,960 I am a catch man. 640 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:32,720 I kind of caught that like they said that no one could survive and he ends up surviving. 641 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,120 Like the guy who was a doctor was like, this isn't something you can survive, but he 642 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,840 we're all going to die. 643 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:38,840 And then it kind of does. 644 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,800 I mean, he's all alone and there's no resources in his family's all dead. 645 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,520 So yeah, yeah, he's going to die. 646 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,520 He's going to die. 647 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,200 It is definitely, it's a dark film. 648 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,200 It's got its funny points to it. 649 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,520 It's got kind of a dark comedy undertone. 650 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,120 And as it gets closer to the point where it's like, okay, they're all going to have to die 651 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,120 soon. 652 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,120 They're all going to take the pill. 653 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,280 Then you kind of start getting that kind of anxious feeling in your chest and your gut. 654 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,760 And they're all dealing with like the leftover drama that they have, you know, his friends 655 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,760 at the end of the world. 656 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,040 And I don't know, overall, I really liked it. 657 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,520 I thought it was very well done. 658 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:20,040 It is kind of depressing and dark, but also Christmassy and scary. 659 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,040 Yeah. 660 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,040 I liked that one. 661 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,040 That was good. 662 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,040 I was very happy when I watched this on Sounder. 663 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,040 Like he lives girl with the fuck. 664 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,240 Well, no, I remember in my mind being like, well, I think he's like a zombie thing because 665 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,840 how do you have a brain? 666 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,480 How do you have a brain aneurysm and then like have cognitive thought? 667 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,840 Yeah, he was definitely bleeding a lot. 668 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,160 He was bleeding out the brain like a zombie. 669 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,040 I mean, he's not going to do well. 670 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,800 That's what he might be. 671 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,400 He might be alive for a little bit, but he probably should have taken the pill. 672 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,400 Yeah. 673 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,400 Dive his family. 674 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,400 Yeah. 675 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,400 Right. 676 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,440 At the whole time during the movie, I was like, what'd I take it? 677 00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,440 What'd I do? 678 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,560 And then I was like, I would definitely take it because I have for like most of my life when 679 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,160 I've watched a zombie movie, I've just been like, if people were eating people around 680 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,680 me, I'd just headshot baby. 681 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,680 Yeah. 682 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,080 So I would definitely take the pill. 683 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,080 Definitely. 684 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,080 Like I would definitely do that. 685 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,080 Absolutely. 686 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,080 I don't want to live through this shit. 687 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,840 I want to die of noxious gas points. 688 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,240 I'd be like the blonde bitch and just buy a really nice dress and be like, I'm dying in 689 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,240 a dress. 690 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,640 I did like how everyone would kind of wore y'all their expensive jewelry's and dresses 691 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,320 that they never got to wear. 692 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,320 Yeah. 693 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,760 That was kind of a trope in seeking a friend for the end of the world to where characters 694 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,280 shows up and she's wearing like a tiara just dripping with all of her jewelry. 695 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,280 She owns it. 696 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,360 And she girls like, why are you wearing it? 697 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,600 She's like, oh, it's everything that I've always wanted to wear but was saving for a special 698 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:46,600 occasion. 699 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,600 And then they all do it. 700 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,600 And then they all do it. 701 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,600 Yeah. 702 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,400 I would probably do that at the world designing. 703 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,400 Most of the honest. 704 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:54,400 I don't think I would. 705 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,800 I would be afraid I would do the wrong amount and die before it. 706 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,040 The world has ended, babe. 707 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,600 I know, but like there's so much more I want to I just want to eat as much as I can. 708 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,280 I just want to eat food. 709 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,080 I'm not caring about the calories. 710 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,080 I'm eating all the gluten. 711 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,920 I love that the world has ended and the only thing you can think is like, I'm not going to 712 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,520 be body shaming myself anymore. 713 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,000 I'm not going to be body shaming myself anymore. 714 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,760 I'm going to just be naked and eating and so happy. 715 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,240 I love that for you. 716 00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:27,600 Let's let's achieve that goal before the world ends. 717 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,560 Naked and eating anything I want. 718 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,400 You know, I'm not body shaming herself. 719 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,400 Not body shaming. 720 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,400 That's a good one. 721 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,400 Yes. 722 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,400 Do not wait till the end of the world to not body shame yourself. 723 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,400 Yes. 724 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,400 Naked. 725 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,400 Yes. 726 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,400 Yes. 727 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,400 Yes. 728 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,400 And where are that jewelry? 729 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,400 Maybe with a fork. 730 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,920 Maybe not naked because then at the past is high. 731 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,920 It'll burn you. 732 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:49,920 Yeah. 733 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,880 Well, it definitely burning off your hands. 734 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,320 It was, it wasn't that bad. 735 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,320 Okay. 736 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,320 We're on a tangent. 737 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,320 I digress. 738 00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,320 Okay. 739 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:06,560 The next one that I watched is, you know, a real holiday classic, the crampus from 2015, 740 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,560 which is one of the most ridiculous things ever. 741 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,320 Crampus, we kind of talked about it before, but it's this lore. 742 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,800 It's like the opposite of Santa. 743 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,040 And so like, people used to say, "Cranpus came when you were bad." 744 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:25,720 Like, they made it a naughty list, but, "Cranpus is this really fricking scary looking 745 00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:30,640 devil-like creature from Eastern Alpine folklore." 746 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,600 So it kind of looks like the Yeti and the Devil combined is how I would describe him. 747 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,800 But this movie is about, like, is so silly. 748 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,360 So it has Tony Collette, Adam Scott, David Keckner. 749 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,880 And it is so silly. 750 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:52,160 So it's like this little kid who still believes in Santa. 751 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,440 And he's, his grandmother is like German. 752 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,520 And so she used to live in Germany, like, back in the day. 753 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,360 And she convinces him to, like, still believe in Santa. 754 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,520 But his cousins are like bullying him and making fun of him. 755 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,520 And they find the note. 756 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,520 They don't work. 757 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,520 They find the note. 758 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,840 And they're like, "Santa is even real." 759 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:18,200 And so he rips up this note and throws it out the window, like, disregarding Santa in his 760 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,200 life. 761 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,440 And like, Santa's not real. 762 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:26,680 And so that, like, sends in this invite for Crampus to come. 763 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,440 And so the story is just like Adam Scott versus David Keckner. 764 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,520 It's like a gun loving Republican, super ridiculous. 765 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,880 And it's like, "I've got to defend the flock." 766 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,440 And Adam Scott is just like, you know, Adam Scott in every movie. 767 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:47,720 And, you know, I would really love, like, a very serious Crampus movie where it, like, 768 00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:52,640 really makes it, like, scary and in the olden times, like, things like the witch, but 769 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,880 Crampus, like, I would love that. 770 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,840 Like, an actual, like, Crampus horror movie that takes itself seriously. 771 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,000 And it's not this movie. 772 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,840 They literally have, like, these little, and merry bands are, like, gingerbread men that 773 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,440 are, like, tea bagging people. 774 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,240 I want to see the rotten tomato scores for those. 775 00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,120 I'm going to assume it's low. 776 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,440 It's 66, which just feels right. 777 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,440 Oh. 778 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,440 Yeah. 779 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,440 66, that's fresh. 780 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,720 Oh, and then the next one for Google users is 69. 781 00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:23,720 It's nice. 782 00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:25,680 I don't think it's, yeah, I don't think it's that good. 783 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,400 I think people were just determined to make the movie 69. 784 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,560 I think that's that was what was happening here. 785 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:38,480 But they have, like, these, it's just really, really silly, but the ending is pretty good. 786 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,480 And I think it's, like, a good horror movie where, like, the ending doesn't turn out the 787 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,860 way that you think it's going to, and it kind of, like, flips the whole, like, Christmas 788 00:37:47,860 --> 00:37:52,440 movie, like, everything's great and everything will be fine, like, trope. 789 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,640 And it gets a little, like, black mirror-ish at the end of it. 790 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:56,920 But, yeah, I really liked it. 791 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:03,840 It's very, very silly and pretty funny if you want to see some Keckner jokes. 792 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,840 It's very, like, his style comedy. 793 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:06,840 Yeah. 794 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,000 But there are a ton of crampus movies as well, but this one is the 2015 one. 795 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,400 What was your next one, Nicole? 796 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,400 My next one was Better Watch Out. 797 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:22,960 And I don't know if there's multiple of these, but if there is, I watched the 2016 version. 798 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,440 I've seen that one too. 799 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,240 I still don't know how I feel about it. 800 00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:30,840 But I'm interested to hear your take on it. 801 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,040 Also just putting it out there. 802 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,680 I watched both of my movies on peacock. 803 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:39,440 You were interested in watching either of those, especially the black Christmas 1974 version. 804 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,440 It's on peacock. 805 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,320 Crampus is also on peacock. 806 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,080 Oh, hell yeah. 807 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:50,540 It is about a quiet suburban street babysitter, and she must defend a 12-year-old boy from 808 00:38:50,540 --> 00:38:56,160 intruders, only to discover it's far from a normal home invasion, which, like, 809 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:02,320 is a great description because for me, I was very shocked by the twist that was taken 810 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,320 place in this movie. 811 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,320 Me too. 812 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,960 It has, I'm going to butcher her name, so I apologize to John. 813 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:08,960 Olivia De Jong. 814 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:09,960 Olivia De Jong. 815 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:10,960 Yep, I was like, never enough with that way. 816 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:11,960 Olivia De Jong. 817 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:12,960 Olivia De Jong. 818 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,960 Olivia's got her stick out for other Olivia. 819 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,640 For downstairs names, right? 820 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,640 Yeah. 821 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:18,640 Yeah. 822 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,800 I actually liked it. 823 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:31,040 I think because of the twist that it had, it starts out with the girl, the babysitter, 824 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:37,960 babysitting the 12-year-old boy, and just like any babysitter and boy, a female babysitter 825 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,040 with the boy, he has a little crush on her. 826 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,040 Oh, yeah. 827 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,040 He's trying to get her interested in him. 828 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:48,880 She's like, no, this is a little weird, like, I'm your babysitter. 829 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,560 And this kind of triggers him. 830 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,280 I don't know. 831 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,880 I should leave a little bastard. 832 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:56,880 Yeah. 833 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,320 Yeah, do we want to give away the twist? 834 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,320 Yeah. 835 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,320 It's going to get a little bit. 836 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,960 I'm just going to give it away because I can't talk to you. 837 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:04,960 The twist is coming in. 838 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,760 The twist is coming in in three, two, one. 839 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:07,760 Okay, go. 840 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,400 The 12-year-old boy is the home intruder. 841 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,200 He's the one that is killing everyone. 842 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,240 And he's a fucking psychopath. 843 00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:21,000 This kid is a little serial killer in the making. 844 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,640 She is insane. 845 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,880 The way it ramps up, I mean, he's a creep from the beginning. 846 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,120 He tries to kiss her. 847 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,920 And they try to kind of write it off. 848 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,960 He's like, oh, he's just a silly boy. 849 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,280 It's will be boys. 850 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:40,080 And I think that is the interesting kind of trope in this movie is how far can we take 851 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,080 boys? 852 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,240 We'll be boys. 853 00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:47,400 Because he goes from trying to kiss her and then eventually committing lots of murder 854 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:54,760 and like, fondling her breast and like, I mean, luring people over to kill them. 855 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,720 And he doesn't understand like the scope of what he's doing. 856 00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:01,960 It just keeps ramping up so violently. 857 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:09,080 I feel like it's like such a common trope in like movies where like plays on you expecting 858 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:14,400 like the babysitter and the kid to like live and win. 859 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,720 But he's evil. 860 00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:16,720 Yes. 861 00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:19,160 He's crazy. 862 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:24,120 But Ashley, who is the main character, she has a boyfriend. 863 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,040 The boyfriend comes over and she's kind of locked up. 864 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,120 She's trapped to a chair in the kitchen. 865 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:37,240 And her boyfriend is searching for her in the house and the boy Luke, who is the trope 866 00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:41,320 girl boy that she's babysitting is kind of following him around the house. 867 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,840 And he's like, you're not going to find her. 868 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:43,840 She's on her period. 869 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:44,840 She's not feeling well. 870 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,840 And the boyfriends like, well, I don't really care. 871 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,160 That's nothing for her to be embarrassed about. 872 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,280 I don't want to help her make her feel better. 873 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:56,920 And it comes to a point where he's just annoyed so he gets his baseball bat hits him. 874 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,320 That doesn't really do anything to the boyfriend. 875 00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,840 He gets back up. 876 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:06,120 The boyfriend ends up getting locked up with the girl with Ashley in the kitchen. 877 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,600 Then he ends up getting murdered, which they quote in the movie, which I love because 878 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:16,600 Homolone is my favorite movie. 879 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,840 Homolone style with the paint can to the face from the banister. 880 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,240 Homolone, which I wish honestly as bad as it sounds, I wish we could have like sought 881 00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:22,240 happen. 882 00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:26,360 Yeah, they definitely cut away very specifically, but I do think yeah, I really like that 883 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:32,360 eerie shot with the blood dripping down mixed with the paint like you know, something. 884 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:38,240 It reminds me almost of in her red itary when her head hits the pole, but it doesn't show 885 00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:43,280 it and you just hear it and you know what happened is really bad and you're kind of left to your 886 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,280 own imagination. 887 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,280 Yes. 888 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:50,680 But I will say my favorite part is the ending when he's in his room and the pencils are on 889 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,760 his little door. 890 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,440 And well, I guess that's not my favorite part, but very adamant. 891 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,840 They're like the police are like, we have one alive. 892 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:58,840 We have one alive. 893 00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,840 Oh, yeah. 894 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,160 And you see Ashley getting into an ambulance and she just sticks a permit of finger at him 895 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,680 right in his window. 896 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,720 And I'm like, yes, queen. 897 00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,920 You tell them exactly what happened. 898 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,680 So I see I was really not root. 899 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,320 I when it got to the end where it looked like he was going to get away with it. 900 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,120 And yeah, we're spoiling this entire movie. 901 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,120 Sorry guys. 902 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,120 Yeah. 903 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,400 When it got to the point where it looked like he might get away with it. 904 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,760 I was like, I don't think I like this movie. 905 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,080 Like it's really sick that this kid is getting away with this. 906 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,800 Like yeah, boys will be boys. 907 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,520 He's getting away with all of this shit. 908 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,200 He's going to be a little serial killer. 909 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,800 But then when she ends up being alive. 910 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:34,800 And I'm like, okay. 911 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:35,800 All right. 912 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:36,800 Yeah. 913 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,040 I feel a little better even though we're poor. 914 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,320 We won't give away all of the kills because there's multiple in this film. 915 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,640 But within in the very end, did you see the after credit scene? 916 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,760 Where he goes to his mom. 917 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,000 He's like, I'm really worried about Ashley. 918 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,600 I think we should go visit her in the hospital. 919 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,840 And I was like, no, come on man. 920 00:43:58,840 --> 00:43:59,840 Come on. 921 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,800 Yeah, it's like hinting that like the mom might drive them to the hospital to check on 922 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,800 her. 923 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,120 Yeah, they probably did it as like a let's do a second one kind of thing. 924 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,360 It's like knocking her in the hospital. 925 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,880 Like let's try the night after Christmas or something. 926 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:17,880 Yeah. 927 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,120 Like even a little open in the end. 928 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:24,320 I like to think that she got this kid put away and never received a light of day again. 929 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,320 Yeah. 930 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:26,320 Definitely is a good twist. 931 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,320 I agree. 932 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:28,320 I was very surprised with the twist. 933 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,120 I love that. 934 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:35,400 Well, we will end this with a movie that I won't go into too much detail in because we talked 935 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,840 about it on the podcast before and it did just come out last year. 936 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:47,160 It's Violent Night starring our daddy favorite David Harbour as Santa Claus. 937 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,600 I wildly recommend this movie. 938 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,040 So it is about Santa Claus. 939 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,120 He's kind of disillusioned with Christmas at this point. 940 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,520 The Christmas magic is going out of the air. 941 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,520 It opens and he's at a bar and he's like, and there's like a Santa person there and they're 942 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,320 like, how long have you been doing this shit? 943 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:13,000 And he's like too long going to think he ends up going to a house. 944 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,040 It's a very wealthy house and it's being broken into by a gosh. 945 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,280 How do you even describe them like hitman? 946 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,280 Hitman mercenaries. 947 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,280 Yeah. 948 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:29,920 Breaking into the house in order to steal this $300 million cash fortune. 949 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,440 The daughter in the house is hiding. 950 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,200 She has a walkie talkie that she was given to from her dad. 951 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,680 The he promises will connect her to Santa. 952 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,400 And it works. 953 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:47,520 So there are some amazingly gory scenes in this movie. 954 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:56,280 And Christmas themed kills involving candy canes and light bulbs and reindeer. 955 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,720 David Harbour is just incredible as Santa. 956 00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:05,080 I mean, we get into Santa's Viking past and towards the end of it, he kind of rediscoveres 957 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:06,520 what makes him love the same thing. 958 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:07,520 The meaning of murder. 959 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:12,200 The meaning of Christmas is murdering to save children. 960 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,160 Murdering John Leguizamo for the sake of Christmas. 961 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:19,600 I watched that movie on Christmas last year with my family. 962 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:20,600 It was great. 963 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,360 It was really brought us together. 964 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,240 I loved it so much. 965 00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,640 I mean, it's so gory. 966 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,040 And there is a little homage to home alone in it as well. 967 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:34,520 Just kind of setting up those little Christmas traps to take people down and take the bad guys 968 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,520 down. 969 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:40,120 The little girl in it is so adorable in her relationship with Santa's, you know, just 970 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,160 kind of the crux of the film. 971 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:47,080 And she kind of helps him as he defeats all of these bad guys that are all named after 972 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,080 Christmas tropes as well. 973 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,080 And Mr. Scrooge. 974 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,840 John Leguizamo's character, the main bad guy is Mr. Scrooge. 975 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:54,840 Yeah. 976 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,480 I definitely recommend it if you guys haven't watched it yet. 977 00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,480 Again, it just came out last year. 978 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:05,320 I know it's still kind of, it was during the Stranger Things renaissance of David Harbour. 979 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,840 Lily Allen's husband. 980 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:08,840 That's right. 981 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,080 I don't remember
