from Review It Yourself
Sean and Sarah reach the Final Destination (for now) of the franchise, with the oddly-fantastic Final Destination 5 (2011).Discussion Points:-Sean compares this series to the Jaws franchise.-Sarah wonders how The Final Destination (2009) turned out so badly.-Sean moans about modern-day films and the rising cost of visiting the cinema.-The importance of a gut-instinct when picking which film to see.-Sarah and Sean wonder how on Earth this fifth film became, arguably, the best film in the series.-Sean and Sarah clash over whether the evening meal is "your tea" or "your dinner".-Sean debuts his cockney impression.-Which character steals the show.-Sarah questions whether the setting of the film and whether they manage to pull it off and make it believable.-Sarah loved how the film gave the characters time to react to this horrific event and began to question the current trajectory of their lives. -Seeing grief push Peter onto a very dark path.-Sean recorded this episode with a cold, hence the breathiness. Raised Questions:-How did they do this?-Do you remember the 3-D craze?-Does anyone care about the preamble in these films?-Why don't Sean and Sarah review more modern films on the podcast?-Why do studios continue to "subvert audiences expectations" all the time?-"I thought you'd just had your tea?"-Sean questions Sarah's digestive distress.-When are they going to have someone British in this franchise?-Did you see the twist coming?-Was making the survivors group co-workers a genius move?Thank You to Ben from 'Push Pull Health' and Ryan Walker from 'The Walk The Line Podcast'.Time Stamps:0:10Welcome to Review It Yourself3:32A Return to Basics for the Franchise5:57The Cost of Cinema7:36Modern Films and Audience Expectations11:03Meet the Characters16:31Time Travel or Prequel?22:53The Ripple Effect of Tragedy30:36The Bridge Disaster40:58Reactions to Tragedy46:27Humour in Dark Situations52:20Hidden References and Clues54:17Film Quality Contrast57:12Gymnastics Scene Impact1:03:12Turning Safe Spaces Horrific1:06:09Eye Surgery Tensions1:08:25Unconventional Villain Development1:14:31Dark Twists and Confrontations1:30:47Plane Crash Call back1:42:32Nostalgic Technology References1:48:49Listener Engagement and ReflectionsThanks for Listening!Find us here: X: @YourselfReviewInstagram: reviewityourselfpodcast2021YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReviewItYourself Hosted on Acast.
