What day is it? What? Wait, okay. I have no idea if this works.

I don't know if you guys are receiving this transmission. I had to build a time machine out of the refrigerator at my neighbor's house. It was really gross. I got it to work.

I think I'm in the right place. Guys, just to let you know, we accidentally spoiled some of the movies that are in this episode. And it caused a whole space-time continuum rip. And now nobody in the future cares about spoilers.

And it's just spoiling everybody. And even movie trailers are just giving away everything. And we've ruined the universe for people trying to go and blind a movie. So I build a time machine.

I'm back here to let you guys know we did that. Hopefully I can fix this space-time continuum and people can avoid spoilers. So go into this episode. Know that there might be spoilers.

And if something happens, we're sorry. We didn't need to. And we... This is the best we can do to fix it.

Okay. So I hope this works. Bye. This is Josh.

This is Doug. This is Phil. And this is the 2020. And this is no hotel for me.

In 2020. Yeah. In 2020. Okay, so 2020, I didn't think it was going to feel real.

Like I was like, yeah, no, John Mulini joke. Like I'm not gonna be writing a paper. Check. I'm gonna be drinking moon juice with President Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Yeah. Yeah. But 2020 sounds fine to me. You know, it sounds really fucking weird.

2024. Yeah. That sounds fucking weird. Like I'm going to be like, fuck is like...

What? Like a couple of years ago when they were giving us all this rundown of all the movies are going to be coming over the years and they were talking about Green Lantern in 2020. They're like, wow, that seems like so far away. But then thinking about like, actually, it's not, and it's here now.

Yeah. You want to know like a weird mathematical thing that kind of puts you in perspective of what 2020 is? So, Wonder Years, TV show ran from 1998 to 1993. And it covered 20 years prior to that show.

So 1968 to 1973. If Wonder Years was to air today, you would think it'd be like, what, 99 to 2000? No, it would be 2005 to 2008. If Wonder Years came out today, they'd be covering 2005 to 2008.

Okay, we're gonna pause for a moment to let everybody let their minds get back in their heads. Yeah. But, fuck. But as we talked about the future way too much, we're gonna go back to the past of a week ago.

Sorry, okay. I post this. Okay. Unless you're listening to this in 2024 and the unions have taken over and this is the last vestige of human audio the other here.

Still trying to figure out, is it 2020 or people just gonna say 2020? I think it's really 2020 has to be 2020. Because I would say 2019. I never said 2019.

But 2020 has to be 2020. You can't say 2020. You know, you know, also have a little bit of pride for those glasses. Companies, the novelty glasses.

Yeah, they're like, oh, we can work with them. 2020 is very, very natural. But if I ever time traveled, I would be very potentially saying from the year 2000. Exactly.

Right. We're going back to 2019. Yeah, we're gonna basically get off of the information from the show. Does anybody ever read those?

I don't know what to prepare if I didn't read them. Oh, I need people to listen to us. Oh, like, how would they know the show notes? No, just sharing the show notes.

They're technically show notes. Oh, all right. I'm sorry, there's a difference between show notes and the listeners notes. Okay.

We'll go with that. I'm all from now. Anywho, we're gonna be going through our favorite movies last year. Yeah, 2019.

Yep. So I think for the first little chunk of it, me and Doug will stop some of our honorable mentions. They'll have some great ones on this list that are just gonna get mentioned all the way around. Yeah, by the end of it, I didn't think I had anything honorable.

So the honorable mentions and the sixth new Tanner just gonna be rapid fire. We're not gonna lose him a lot. I'm talking about it because we all want to like deep dive into our top five. Yeah.

So, do you want to just fire through your own old mentions and all? Yeah, I too. One of them is Shazam. Nice one.

Great movie. DC finally breaking through and realize, oh, we can be fun. Yeah, exactly. We're gonna have to wonder when we're dropping Shazam and you know, you know, and he's getting it too.

So that's it. It was super gross, right? Which is about that. And it wasn't bad.

It wasn't good. It just, you know, it's one of those things like literally it's a 9.7 versus everything else. I didn't know. Everything on that.

Everything on the list is gonna be good. We're not gonna really do our usual like, what was it worth being last year because I don't think I have one. I don't have a version of it. I didn't think I had one.

If I, if I, if I, if there was a worst, I don't think I saw it. What was your other honorable mention? This one I wanted to include on my list, but it's sort of a weird, you can't really include it because it wasn't movie, but it wasn't movie. It was, it was a movie in the fact that it had a long run time, but it wasn't a movie in the much as like it had like a move.

It's invaders named into the Fortas. Nice. Oh, yeah. That I wanted to include on my list, technically.

I'll give it, I'll give it a quick shout out for Rocker's Mind Life's Decline then also. Yeah, it's, I wanted to include it, but I just couldn't in my brain justify like taking some, one of these 10 movies off my list to include Zem. Even though I have a tattoo on my body, I just couldn't include it in my list. There are Netflix films that, you know, that have, you know, broken new ground.

Oh, a couple of them. A couple of them are on my list. Yes, I was thinking. Yeah.

It's just, it's just Zem Canyon and an hour and ten minutes and it wasn't a movie in the fact of like, it was, you know, originally again, released at theaters or anything like that. Well, you don't remember the thing with the, the Vitters M movie and the Rocker movie, how they were initially going to be released were going to be Nickelodeon specials. Right. They were never meant to be theatrical.

But when you watch both of them, they are not the normal Nickelodeon fair as of today. They were the Nickelodeon fair of the Nicktoons era. Yeah, they're definitely definitely the one on Netflix. And Nickelodeon was probably like, um, we love them.

Yeah, but we're gonna put you over here. Hey, Netflix. Yeah. Which is great because Netflix and the Clinton just sign the news of the deal, which means we might get more rockers in.

Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Okay. Okay.

My honorable mentions were gonna start off with yesterday the movie without the Beatles. The Beatles movie with no Beatles. Yeah, it was really good. It was a great one.

It was on a lot of people's worst movie list of the year, but I don't think they understood what they were watching. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing with, I mean, when we get to my list, one of these was a movie that got critically kind of torn apart by some people and critically praised by another. You know, it really has to be your perspective of the movie.

Yeah. And that's the one thing I can probably say about all of our lists here compared to like the mainstream. Oh, it's all 10 lists of 2019. We're gonna have somewhere a lot of people are like, what?

But it's still to us. These movies fucking wrong. Oh, yeah. I mean, we don't pull ours based off box office numbers or critic numbers.

It's like, literally like, did this make us, no, no, honestly, where did this make us happy? Yeah, exactly. And how happy did it make us? The next one did that too, in which with the year of all the live action Disney remakes and everything, this was a pleasant surprise for me was Dumbo.

Yes. I really honestly dug that one because I avoided it like the play button. I forgot it was on Netflix. And everything and it showed up.

I was like, fuck it. I'll watch it. I was like, wow. Okay.

They did this really freaking well. Yeah. See, it was one that I wanted to include on my list, but it was again, I had 10 other ones that I felt were just better. So I didn't include it.

Let's see. I had the twofold thing with Tim Burton. Yeah. Yeah.

Next one is super with Camille and Batista. Which is seriously just a funny fucking movie. Did you see his picture? Did he even get a chat?

Oh my God. I still remember the tweet where he, Camille, talked about, oh God, I just accidentally called my personal trainer Daddy. And then Batista pipes in with like, no, oh, that's gonna be cool. Everybody's gonna call everybody Daddy.

Did you see the tweet from him about the one who's changing their picture of the gay category? So his picture can be, you know, yeah. Yeah. I've done it.

Yeah. That's a badge of honor right now. Right now. Right now.

Right now. But yeah, Stuber is one of those where it flew in a lot of radars, but it's gonna be one of those if you just randomly watch. You're gonna be like, oh, why didn't I watch this sooner? I see it.

I really honestly see it being the, the front house movie. The one that's every flat house in the weekend. It's gonna be the weekend movie. Yeah.

Yeah. The clerk's just the popular. We all see it up and watch high school high. Oh, yeah.

Exactly. I think that's what's going to happen. It's just gonna have the test of time by being the movie that kids watch on weekends. Yeah.

The next one is because unfortunately I can have every Marvel movie on my list. Right. I had to make room for other movies too. So Captain Marvel.

Okay. That's a very good talk about the Sisive. Yeah. That and Captain Marvel rocks to me.

It showed that Marvel can still do like the kind of lesser known movies and still make it awesome. And then also to my soft spot, Stanley's cameo reading all that script. You know those, you know those original like judging scales that they used in courts where it was like you would get weight down by. If I had any weight on my guilt side and I had to use the amount of Marvel movies I've seen last year's to get me out of jail, I'd be abstained.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad I got a kid and then I only get, like I only get a chance to watch maybe my movie a night.

And I'm spending it with my wife. I mean she's not that interested in Marvel. Yeah. Right.

You know I'm lucky she's taken me to see in 1917. I mean I'm super happy about that. But like so it's only one of those days that like if I ever like break my legs and bedridden. I'll just tweak her sevens and be like dude I'm broken about watching Marvel.

That's actually an awesome way of doing it. Like I said I fell down the rabbit hole really late. I watch the Agents of SHIELD and stuff like that. Supposedly the way you're supposed to watch them and I'm like dude what the hell am I doing?

Yeah and I do want to watch them especially because of how big of a Captain America outside of the Marvel movies fan I am. That's my Marvel comic is Captain America. But I just think I'm so behind that I'm almost like it's almost too much of a monumental task for me to catch up. Oh yeah.

I have to have a serious grave in Marvel. Well luckily the Infinity Saga is done so you can at least catch up that way. Yes. So now it's like Skywalker's Saga is done Infinity Saga.

Okay. My final honorable mention is Toy Story 4. Such a good freaking way to wrap that up. Everybody like when it was released on DVD like guess that target.

We're like oh we're gonna do another one. I'm like have you seen it? You know they won't. Because if they do it I don't think Tommy's or Tim Allen would be willing to come back because it was such a perfect thing.

Yeah and I still toy with doing a What If article for you toy with Toy Story? Yes I did. Unintended. Doing a What If article for the site and I have an idea for deleted scene for Toy Story 4 which would be perfect.

I'm gonna leave it for that. And also to Toy Story 4. Gave the world 4 key. Yes.

Yeah. That little little bastard. All right. All right.

I do have like kind of a side tracked one. Oh okay. So this one okay. So I'm going to introduce this one.

Okay. So yeah. I like you know a little bit about this. Let me sit the tone.

Okay. So you know anybody has those moments where you got to drunk to remember what happened. The thing is is no one is not leaving in California or like an alcohol level. You can just whatever you want.

You can just blaze up. Well starting to happen now in the desert and is appeared to happen in this situation is what we are now calling Hazing Moments. It's where you experience something but you were so monumentally high that your body just I have the tiger on but your brain was like nope I'm good. Yeah.

It's kind of an event of like in the past with me and Phil when I would do drunk texting you. Oh god. No. I remember anyway.

Yeah. Because I have one of those Hazing Moments with the hustle. And have to wait and rebel Wilson. We make up the dirty ones.

You see what's funny is you had a Hazing moment about the movie and that you've seen it and you didn't remember any of it. You told me the movie and I didn't know it really was. Yeah. But I was even high because I would get high.

But I was at dinner with my girlfriend and her family. And just momentarily threw it. I'm just feeling weird. And I'm like okay I'm not sick.

No this isn't sick. What's going on? I'm fucking hot. Because earlier we had some dabs.

We mess with those and my metabolism I realized is fucking wet. You're just now figuring that out? Yeah. Oh this was a mung metal sign.

Yeah. We get through dinner, get through night conversation and dinner about my trip to London and whatnot. And then Kim comes up to you and goes hey let's go catch him with him. He's getting caught.

We're driving the movies and I'm like um. I'm fucking hot. The part that makes this so endearing to me is you're older than me. But like you're talking to me like my little brother just got high.

Like oh like I was out partying with some friends and I smoked and I was going I was going I was going I was going I was going I was going I was going I was going I was going I was going I was one of those moments where you were like three years old. But also to I'm there with her family. Right. No religious family.

It's very it's very hard to control your high and uncontrollable. And I'm very proud of myself. I was able to maintain it. So I got out of that fucking house but then during that movie she gave the test.

She was like are you okay? I just went in balls. I was looked like I probably shut myself. I was too high around my family story but mine is sad versus you're just fucking out of that story.

So the hustle is my hazy mention of here. Oh my god. So the hustle was like was a gender flip remake. Yeah.

I'm just kidding. Okay now let's get to the mid-gritty. Let's get to the mentions are out. I'm done.

Yeah. My hazy miss my my my my moment of last year where I'm like I'll try it. Why did I try this? You always had there's always an any new mind altering substance situation.

There's always going to be the one day where it just goes too far. And that's and that's where you get your bearing. You've got the extreme on one image. You know that you go I'm going to write it right.

You got the hopeless test. You got the the mid-road. Yeah exactly. Okay.

So I think what best to do with this situation. Oh no this because you're explaining yourself. You don't necessarily have a particular order for your movies. I think what would be best is if you just gave us like five just rapid fire.

Oh no dude. Give us a couple. Wait. What do you want to?

No I've got I've got ten here. I can put them in order. Guys. That's what it comes to me.

I won't go. I'm like yeah this is. Okay so we just don't want to do the six through ten. Let's do the six to ten.

So we'll do it. We'll do ten. Ten to ten. Ten to six.

Okay. Actually Phil you know I'm sorry. I'm going to talk about that. Okay good.

Good. Cool. So my ten would be the playable movie. Okay.

The funny on this one is that I have not seen the film. Now I've seen the trailer but what gets it on the list is the fact that the Ecto-1 drives around in the world in a free way. Okay. You know there's a free frequency going hmm you know with the sirens blazing and all.

So you know there's that gets it a little thing there. Okay. But you know for me it's kind of like you know people that you know lovey ET right. Yeah.

I'm one of the few that likes Mac and me more. And I think you know what's the point. You and Paul are the friends. Oh yeah.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I know exactly right. All right. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

You have to make sure that you love it too. Oh it's an awesome movie. I think we're just comparing Coke and Pepsi with that. Yeah.

Coke and Reese's Pieces. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah.

It's be technical. But yeah. No. So I think Lego movie kind of falls under that.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Compared to the Lego movie.

I get the feeling that I'll enjoy a playable. I mean I love the Lego movie because I like playing with toys. Yeah. But I kind of got into the playable thing because you know they have the ghost direction because a lot of them.

There's going to be an active future one. Nice. And I wanted to give that one a mention because it went under the radar. Oh it's still playing there?

Yeah. Well I'll definitely have to check it out. But you know I saw that you know that there was the Echo One Easter Egg and I went you know what? I saw the trailer and I'm like I'm getting the feeling that I'm going to get that kind of vibe from that movie.

You know everybody is going to be comparing it kind of unfairly to the Lego movie. But I understand it's you know the same kind of animal. Yeah. They should have done it justice.

I hear most of the two. I watch it. But that's why that one's on the one. Nice.

Even though I haven't seen it. Okay. All right. So so technically I'm counting this one in 2019.

It was made in 2018. Didn't get any distribution until 2019. So I'm counting it as a 2019 movie. Well if it was released in 2019.

It was released in 2019. Okay. We'll discuss that one of these. You're also going to find that most of my list is for movies.

I did get the right off there. All right. You might be the killer. Oh yeah.

So so quick super puts an office to our version. You might be the killer. A there's a murder spree at a children's camp. The head camp counselor calls his best friend and as he's talking to her.

They start figuring out that he might be the one who's killing everybody. Yeah. So it's very meta. I think I'm going to go.

It used to be on shutter but it's not on there anymore. So yeah. The only way to get an hour is either digital, you run enough prime or bio. Yeah.

But it's really good. And as much as they're revealing the whole entire plot right in the beginning there is a twist at the end. Yeah. Yeah.

So that's my number. That's my number. Good choice. Okay.

So we got one more time. Okay. I'm going to go with 10 and then just throw my nine to you. Yeah.

Just double just double. Yeah. Okay. My number 10 is scary stories to tell the dark.

This one flew under a lot of rados. But if you were a kid, when we were kids, yeah, and you see these books and everything. As soon as you heard that this movie was announced, yeah, one you're like, yeah. And then for the movie nerds, you're in game.

Oh my god. I was a seller for me. And then I blind bought it. It was an easy blind buy.

And as I mean, again, we're watching everything. I when the monsters popped up. I started going to my phone to go to Google images to kind of the artist rendering books to and they did the end of the job. Very accurate.

Very. What's really wonderful is most of them were practical. Yes. You know, none of them were overly.

Very big proponent for practical effects. I like to call the starting to make a comeback. Sure. Yeah.

It's a good. And that aspect of a kids or movie is really hard to find lately. And is a good one. And I believe the house of the clock in a while was 2019 also was.

That was 2019. And that was really, really, really. Another really good kid scary movie. But for my list, I have to throw out scary movies to tell the dark.

It's scary stories to tell the dark. Oh, yeah. See with me, I didn't read those books as a kid. And I still had a rent.

So I had no like desire like the oh, I see it. But it's been everybody said. So good. I want to see about it.

I have it. I have no. You got the digital copy. Do I?

Did you send me? Yeah. I got to go back. We text so much that like if I respond to something, if I look at something, I'll do this.

And do this like 100. We text more than we text our particular counters. Sorry. She's right there.

Yeah. Okay. For my number nine, it's a Spider-Man bar from home. All right.

That's such a good movie. Honestly, I won't be the I'll I'm not enough to admit the reason it's low on the list was the fucking bullshit that happened after. Almost end of it. And we have discuss it.

And this is my chance to discuss it because luckily they freaking got hammered down everything. But you two, I think Tim saw how pissed off I was by the fact this show was happening. It was one of those moments where it was just like fuck big business. You both could go fucking suck a dick.

Oh my God. We should have really talked more because the thing is I knew the thing is I kind of do the business thing they were playing. I was talking to my nephews, right? Yeah.

And I went, they're going to come to a deal. I think it's suicide not to. Well, that's the whole thing with all of it going, you know, the way. But the way that is weak though.

I call Billy that this was it. This like there was the mean floating around of I think it was Jordan pill from King Bill with the sweaty face. And it was the name of when Uncle Ben heard about Sony being Spider-Man back. It was like, Oh God, I'm going to kill it.

And just everything that Marvel built with it. And it was just like, you got to be freaking kidding me. It's pretty much. It's just done that.

It went that far. I know. And but also too just to have like, I'm going to come and spend a little bit on that one too where it's like, you give us that ending where they reveal Peter Parker's Spider-Man. And then it's like, Oh, it's rebooted now.

It was like when they did the release and fears and added the extra minutes, I'm like, you better have it. Where's the dream sequence at the end? Yeah. And then wake up and then going like, Oh, I was never in Avengers.

I don't want Spider-Man to wake up in a snow globe. Yeah. That's not that's not that's not. I'm saying out of it.

I'm just because I have my own. If I talk about it, it's just going to keep going. Yeah. And we're not going to get to it.

I do want to at the one year anniversary of the event. I do. I do say we revisit it. Because it's actually something like the the precedence of what happened with the movie Glass versus what happened with Spider-Man.

Those are two completely pole opposite dreams of what can happen when businesses do business together. And so those need to be analyzed because nothing like this has ever happened on either stage. So to watch something that should never happen, get built up and then destroyed is a very interesting discussion, especially because you and I kind of stand on opposite sides of it. Yeah, exactly.

And I hope I just stick with the glad idea that Tom Holland got drunk and fixed everything. Oh, yeah. That one's awesome. Yeah.

It's like a worthless. I'm number nine. So Josh will just stop. Like, does anybody care?

Can I just say? I really don't like singing. Oh, fuck me. Didn't make that.

I guess that's your number nine, too. Oh, it is now. Honestly, I guess we'll just. I thought it was, you know, the thing was is when I put that down.

I assume it's on your list. Wow. It was it. This year was so fucking hard.

I signed up for a star's free trial. Like, like leading into this year, we talked about how much movies were going to be out this year where it was like, oh, God, this is a great year to be a movie nerd. And then when it comes to doing this shit, yeah, it's not a good time because you got to freakin' treat your favorite child. You got to sort of sold on the teaser trailer.

Oh, fuck yes. So I don't want to, I want to wax and electrolyte much about it because we, well, you got to get two R5s and fours and threes. But the thing where I like to buy a barn, everybody knows the kid is the evil fucking villain. You know, so we know all that.

Like, I'm not spoiling anything for you. You didn't watch the trailer. Fuckin' on. I'm gonna spoil it.

Batman wakes up and realizes it was all a dream. So what I like, though, is there wasn't a moment with that kid where it was like he did a good thing and it was torn going to... He's a fucking smart. You know, from the fucking wits.

But I actually like that, too. The one scene I will point out and have to re-hat the job and just the... Oh, oh, oh, oh. Scissors.

My body order, man. It's beautiful. The whole thing. And then at the end, the closing credits were just teasing.

They were just like, Oh, they're more. With Michael Riker. And I really would like to see a super-sequel. Oh, yeah, yeah.

And I have an idea for it. Nice. Where Rayand Wilson is in a mental hospital and everything. There's a kid interning at the mental hospital because friends with Rayand Wilson and Rayand Wilson trains him.

Nice. The kid is a cosplayer. Ah, larken. Yeah, so he knows how to make suits.

Oh, he becomes super 2.0 with the Crimson Rich 2.0. Oh my god, that's funny. Okay, so this is my nine and your nine. So why don't you go and Josh or get his nine?

No, my eight. Okay, well my number eight was Terminator Dark Fate. Again, another movie I did not see. But now I know how Liny and I am towards the Terminator franchise.

So you have some episodes of it. Exactly, and I also wrote an article. So yeah, but Terminator's one and two. I know that those are the gold standard.

I mean, you're not going to beat those. See, I did take a try. They do try. They do try.

They started with Terminator 3. It's not as bad as I think everybody else thinks it is because, you know, it's like, you know, a cover company, you know, whatever it is, a game of any piece. Not as good as number two, no. Yeah, but I tried to give a break and then you had Terminator Salvation.

I didn't enjoy that much. Yeah, but to give that it's due from my fan towards that. You got your fan towards the Terminator 3. Salvation gives us the war.

That's the big thing with me with Salvation. It gives us the future war. Oh, yeah. But hey, no problem.

One of the things is, you know, one of the things that makes it, you know, it's the tagline. The tagline of Terminator. Yeah. To me, the battle for the future is not fought in the future.

But we'll be fought tonight in the present. That's the whole thing. And it's a whole time-traveling opera. Yeah.

And when you take the time travel out of it, that's my issue with it. I know it's a war. And I understand what you want about it. Yeah.

But then you bring the staple back with Genesis. And then with Terminator Dark Fate, you know, you've got this whole new thing. And it is busted beyond belief. I mean, with this whole, okay, Trena, Skynet succeeds and, you know, doing something.

But now this thing called Legion is joined up against, Skynet still exists in an alternate reality. It's busted. But it's still fun to think about. But what lands on the list for me is we've come a long way with what we can do with CG.

And when they recreated John Connor, Sarah Connor, and Arnold, all young, they look like they jumped right off of Terminator 2. And that's what we see in the scenes. Yeah. You know, for a long brief moment in the movie, it's just really, it's kind of a trap seeing this new footage when it's really not ever for a long, but it's almost you can't believe it's CG.

It's unbelievable how smooth it is. So, Krabby movie or not, I really got to get it points for that execution. For that, yeah, for at least seven minutes. Or, no, no, no, sorry, about three minutes of film there.

It's kind of interesting. I did give you props on that. And there's a good reason how long you're listed. I guess down to eight.

You guys are going to kind of surprise on position of this one. You probably would think it'd be higher. Jameson and Bob Reeboot. Is my number eight.

Do you want your number eight? I mean, that's okay. I know a lot of stuff that came out. So, yeah.

See, you at least have one up on me. You wouldn't say anything yet. Yeah. You wouldn't be meeting Kevin Smith.

Yeah. It's a highlight of 2019. But, in fact, he had his heart attack and won his movie career. And, on yo-gos, it was just a good movie.

He always likes to have his wants he can abuse. But to be able to do Reeboot. And when you do see Reeboot, you see Jameson and Bob straight back. Absolutely.

Yeah. And then all this movie, he described, like, leading into the movie, he described it as like the last ten minutes of Big Fish. Oh! Where they're taking his guy out to the, like, and everything.

And he's dying and everything. He sees everybody from his life. And in Reeboot, there is a sequence like that. And I'm not going to give anything away.

and also too this is the movie that rock heaven and then after that all after after that but only now right because as uh... ken sant put it is like one one parrot one part of that there can keep the house about stories from twenty years ago and it was not but uh... so they've actually opened up and that's a no they cannot speak as the the scene that i think it is really it's beautiful it's point again the fact that uh... that was able to work that together and such a lot of because he was able to get then and be like all i can pull this off properly and just the whole fact of everything that was pulled off with jane son bob re-boot and was pulled out well and with such huge heart because ken sant has that fucking huge ass heart and the fact that he can almost killed before that but i think i want to be able to get back to you but the fact that he could pull off a movie where he plays on bob and then also have ken sant in the movie too that's so really bad that it comes out uh...

into weeks actually on the so everybody took it out of the world to go out so that was my number eight time number eight eight eight uh... this one was originally higher on my list but as i start adding more to my list just start kind of going further and further down now it's a good one to do ready or not with the great movie and now it would look like it might have been a club yeah like freaking right burning right now we're like right at the door they're just right there they're the pop-up the pop-up clubs to show that we saw them yeah i see i want to write your not uh... very simple story very original um... they blended cg and practical effects enough to wear it works there all the blood spatter was was cg um...

but the the cuts and the skin and the skin and that stuff that was practical well the the barn alone yeah the barns and it's very uncomfortable or the bottom of that body horror from the job right now so for me what i really liked about writing or not was they just went the full way yeah like they didn't stop what they were doing or like cut it just short they were like all right we've set the story up and we're gonna finish it and that's exactly what you'd expect it's it's it's pretty cool yeah and as you get to the end name once the ending happens it's a twist ending but then once you go back and think about who you like oh they couldn't have been in any other way what i'd like to is there's absolutely positive in the way they do this no no no no it's a one then you deserve it that's that's it's a seller for me yeah it's kind of like cabin in the woods which don't get me wrong as a as a horror fan in my favorite horror movies tend to have sequels you know and there's always sequels and horror it's just you know it's all it is if they do a sequel to write your not just do another do okay do right about it well that's the thing those the family i mean i mean i mean no no no no no no just do right over right over yes right over this one was i just do you do a whole different family no i don't have to go down the through the list yeah right about right after the frat five say but so as much as there's always sequels and horror because of there's gonna be This is going to be Disney Horror. I do like when a horror film will go, no what? No, no fucking sequel. Like that's it.

This is it. This is the world. It's done. Well, especially with any of that movie.

Yeah. It likes to be a disservice to that movie. Absolutely. And I do have to say one thing and two, to reference the nonverbal person here in the room.

I don't know what it is, but the actress and that, Samara Weaving, whenever you two in my brain look a lot like, you're just the right head versus the blonde and the red head. Just there's certain traits that you guys have that I'm just like, that looks like, all right. You can take him. What?

She's been on an episode already. That's right. Yeah. Cocksmith.

Don't go slandering her name with Newark, California. All right. You're in the right. My number eight would be the Lego movie too.

It was a good one. Yeah. Yeah. That was, it was fun.

It was just a good companion piece with the first one. You know, critics and stuff like that. They kind of give it their hate, but I think it takes them. Well, everything in their sophomore releases, like the first one always gets like, oh my God, this is freaking awesome.

Yeah. And then the sequels depend on the movies and stuff. Sometimes they get taken care of. But it was good.
