- Hello and welcome to this week's PCJ Pop.
My name is Shauna - and I'm Olivia.
- So I'm gonna pop a movie this week that by no means
is gonna, it didn't win any awards
when it came out in 2008, right?
But I just watched it for the first time recently
and I found myself very anxious and scared,
which is what I think it was going for.
The film is quarantine.
It came out in 2008. - Oh, so good.
- You've seen it?
Yes. - Yeah, of course I've seen it.
- So this is a found footage film.
Found footage was really popular in the early off.
- 20, 2008 specifically.
They were gone for it. - Yeah.
Literally, everything was shaky cam found footage.
And some better than others, I like a lot of
found footage movies.
I thought this one was very successful.
It stars Jennifer Carpenter, who most people would know
from Dexter.
- Yeah, I always just think Debbie's quarantined when I watch it.
- Yeah, literally.
Andrew's like, what are you watching?
I like Deb's quarantine.
(laughing)
So, Deb, I'm sorry, Jennifer Carpenter.
Stars as a journalist who is following a group
of firefighters and she has her cameraman following them
and she's making like a new segment or documentary
about a day in the life of a firefighter.
And it starts out kind of cute.
She's kind of flirting with the cute firefighters.
They get a call that's to a building
and all hell breaks loose from there.
And as you would assume by the name of the movie,
they get quarantined in the building
with the people who live there and have to survive
and deal with everything that is going on
and the reason that they were all quarantined.
This movie is a lot of shaky cam,
a lot of screaming, a lot of,
what the fuck was that?
Oh God, oh no, oh geez, you know, like so.
If that's not your vibe, then you probably won't like it.
But have you ever seen the South Park episode
where Randy has the camera and he's like,
I'm so startled.
I don't know, it's just a camera movie.
Jess, can I say that so much?
I'm so startled right now.
Oh God, it's so much.
(laughing)
It's from the movie.
That's amazing.
Yeah, everybody is very startled in this movie,
but so was I watching it.
Like I was very anxious.
And for a minute, I was like,
I'm not sure if I'm enjoying this movie
because my heart was beating so fast and I was like,
oh, it's a horror movie.
This means I'm like, it's doing its job.
Like I was very anxious.
So I am definitely gonna pop quarantine,
especially if you're a fan of horror,
you know, you kind of like the shaky cam,
kind of like be horror stuff.
I thought it was very successful.
I was scared.
I'm gonna pop it.
So this week's PCJ Pop for me is gonna be quarantine.
You can watch it on Amazon Prime.
And that'll do it for this week's PCJ Pop.
