Episode 89 - A Quiet Place Part II

Quiet Place Part II is a 2021 American horror film and the sequel to the 2018 film A Quiet Place, both of which follow a family that is forced to navigate and survive in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind monsters with an acute sense of hearing. The sequel was written and directed by John Krasinski under the studio Paramount Pictures. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe reprise their roles from the first film, and Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou joined the cast. Krasinski also returns from the first film in a small role, seen in a flashback sequence set before the first film. Paramount Pictures began development of a sequel in April 2018 following the box-office and critical success of the first film. By the following August, Krasinski was writing the film, and he was hired in February 2019 to direct. Production took place in Western New York from June to September 2019. Krasinski was credited with writing the sequel based on characters created by Bryan Woods and Scott Beck for the first film. The sequel was ultimately produced on a budget of $61 million, over three-times the original's $17 million. After a long delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the film shifting from 3 times from its original March 2020 release date, the film is finally in theaters and the #talkintv boys are here to give their thoughts on it. Is it better than the original? Does it expand on the Universe? And more importantly, will the new Paramount+ 45 day theatrical window hurt Krasinski & Blunt?
