You're Next - Dinner Party Movies
[:[00:00:18] Scott Moran: Receive streaming services and ask the question, what the fuck is that? Does this hold up? And just, what the hell is a good movie? Anyway, I'm Frank Roll. I'm Scott Moran and we are the last video store clerks. .
[:[00:00:34] Scott Moran: I apologize if there's some room noise or it sounds different than normal. I reconfigured the office, but Frank is much closer to the window than I would like.
[:[00:00:45] Frank Roll: Or if you hear like a loud crashing sound, then it's just like a fucking horror movie. And an arm has reached in and fucking dragged me out. But
[:[00:00:55] Frank Roll: I'll throw you. He's just gonna .
[:[00:01:02] Frank Roll: like, toss the lozenges. And you're like, why the lozenges? And I'm like, .
[:[00:01:21] Scott Moran: I saw
[:[00:01:24] Scott Moran: done. Yeah. And they had announced Liam Hemsworth was gonna be the next Witcher whole internet was like, fuck you. No equivalency
[:[00:01:39] Frank Roll: Yeah. What was that? The tutors,
[:[00:01:45] Frank Roll: Yeah. I feel like the first thing that the Caval got me was tutors. I know. I'd seen stuff with him in it before, I felt like, but yeah, he tutors,
[:[00:01:56] Scott Moran: Yeah. It's like, it's like a one scene thing still. He was in 300. Yeah. That's cool. He was around. I still wanna watch. It's a movie that the cover looks like Night Crawler. It's like a murder mystery thing with him. I've had it on my queue forever. Looks like night crawler, like a, I'm, I'm talking about it from a graphic design standpoint.
[:[00:02:18] Frank Roll: If we ever find a reason to watch that one, I'll watch it for like the 10th
[:[00:02:27] Scott Moran: It's one that I was
[:[00:02:29] Scott Moran: nice.
[:[00:02:42] Scott Moran: like I have to, every time I find a movie with Bill Paxton in it that I haven't seen, I freak out
[:[00:02:52] Frank Roll: I watched a depressing documentary series on. , you know, three episodes. What was it called? Crime Scene, the Texas Killing Fields.
[:[00:03:04] Scott Moran: So it was about, yeah, it was, it's a series. It just started on Netflix. Mm-hmm. . I've only watched the first two. It's like this guy was calling and saying it was a cop. All through the nineties from like calling cards and getting managers at fast food restaurants to illegally strip search their employees, and in some cases sexually assault them, it's fucking nuts because the first one you're like, that's a fucked up manager, but hundreds of them.
[:[00:03:36] Frank Roll: was getting managers to get their employees to strip, to search them. Like
[:[00:03:51] Scott Moran: He'd start with the shoes and he'd take a long time and he'd like get, you know, take off their shoes, look in their shoes, remove the pants, remove the shirt, remove the under.
[:[00:04:05] Scott Moran: The first one that they go through is like 2004 near the end of it. Mm-hmm. , and that one's fucked up.
[:[00:04:12] Frank Roll: it a power thing or was he getting off on this? Does it
[:[00:04:31] Scott Moran: It's crazy. Fuck them trying to chase this guy down. But it was back like payphone days. That's just so random though. It's so crazy, dude. That's why I was like, oh my God, I watch this shit. I mean,
it's
[:[00:04:50] Scott Moran: what the incidents like.
[:[00:05:04] Frank Roll: that sounds way more crazy. Mine was just depressing.
[:[00:05:11] Scott Moran: Uh, it was
[:[00:05:27] Frank Roll: Young women, young girls. Just going missing from like certain areas around I 45. A lot of it was happening in a place called League City. Like that's where the, I know where that is. You know where League City is? Oh yes. So that's where the bodies were being dropped.
[:[00:05:41] Scott Moran: It's uh, that's, uh, there's some crazy fucking serial killer shit. Well, and that's the thing
[:[00:05:59] Frank Roll: Yeah. It's like construction dudes, you know, from other states. Yeah,
[:[00:06:04] Frank Roll: crazy. Well, yeah, cuz it's, uh, if you don't know, Houston's kind of swampy in places. Yeah. You do, you know, by the candy.
[:[00:06:19] Scott Moran: And he had these two other boys like grabbing the, the other boy, like, you know, getting them Oh yeah. Like he had like little vampire assistants, huh. But he was like non on their genitals and shit. He had like a mass grave that they quit digging up because they were like, it's just sludge like hundred. Oh, that's fucking
[:[00:06:37] Frank Roll: Yeah. No, this one spanned several right down the road. ? Yeah. No, this one. So yeah, three hours from where we're at. It's three hours from here. Um, that's
[:[00:06:47] Frank Roll: else for other people. Yeah, that's that's not too bad in
[:[00:06:55] Scott Moran: The driving Houston was like driving to another.
[:[00:07:10] Frank Roll: The community's growing just right around where all these bodies were dropped and all this shit took place. You move the headstones,
[:[00:07:16] Frank Roll: move the bodies. Bingo. There's a damn church, like, I don't know, a couple hundred yards away. , I don't know if that church was there when this was going on, but I mean, the closest thing to where these bodies is a church.
[:[00:07:34] Scott Moran: Now this is, I thought you called them oldies,
[:[00:07:45] Scott Moran: I know, man, that's weird.
[:[00:07:49] Frank Roll: it's because the other week I watched the documentary about the Persian cat Nestler rusty
[:[00:07:56] Frank Roll: Well, I think the more you watch Tiger King, you understand what went on. No. , not at all. . Um, I'd watch the documentary about the wrestler. Bred Persian cats.
[:[00:08:33] Scott Moran: movement.
[:[00:08:53] Scott Moran: I watched two seasons of Mr. Robot and stopped. I was loving that shit. Oh yeah, I remember you talking
[:[00:08:58] Scott Moran: that. You never finished it. So me and Kelly met in like 2019 and uh, she didn't watch the fourth season cuz that was when that aired. So I was like, we should finish this. Watched two seasons of Mr.
[:[00:09:31] Frank Roll: thought Freddie Mercury was Mr.
[:[00:09:39] Frank Roll: everything but Mr. Robot.
[:[00:09:45] Frank Roll: in crime scene. Uh, the Texas killing Fields. Was it
[:[00:09:49] Scott Moran: No. . It's fucking the defeat in your
[:[00:09:53] Scott Moran: fucking well. This is the last dinner party. We're already, we're at dessert. Yeah. Past Christmas. This one was family too. , but still a dinner party movie. I would still argue that this is more dinner party movie than all the other things. It is. Why were
[:[00:10:09] Frank Roll: You know? Did we have any middle class dinners in there? I'm thinking about it. Coherence was probably the closest, but even
[:[00:10:18] Frank Roll: But I mean a modest house in ca, that's still
[:[00:10:21] Frank Roll: The director of the movie. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[:[00:10:24] Scott Moran: house. No. Cuz who the fuck has dinner parties, man? Oh, I think that's what, that's the bottom line.
[:[00:10:32] Scott Moran: They're not cleaning that house up that shit.
[:[00:10:38] Scott Moran: Yeah, those are called potlucks.
[:[00:10:40] Frank Roll: people. No. God damn it. It's gonna be a
[:[00:10:46] Frank Roll: If anybody brings any kind of fucking casserole, you're
[:[00:10:57] Frank Roll: don't want a Snickers. I would eat a Snic. S what you talking about? I need like four of those fuckers right
[:[00:11:02] Scott Moran: Yeah. I did that at one in New York City and I did it several times here because, what the fuck was I gonna bring him? Not from New York City.
[:[00:11:17] Scott Moran: trit Wing got . That's, that's one of my favorites. High up tour stories. I wonder if Kyle talks about that on his podcast.
[:[00:11:30] Scott Moran: Oh, he was big and gay, so it was a special one. Oh yeah. Very flamboyant. Teddy, let me hold you
[:[00:11:45] Scott Moran: I right? Did you know that? A uh, herd of unicorns. It's called a blessing. No shit. It's a blessing of unicorns. I mean, it's not real, but how
[:[00:11:58] Scott Moran: is.
[:[00:12:03] Frank Roll: does that committee consist of? ? What are the
[:[00:12:15] Frank Roll: I'm not gonna argue that. I was trying to think of, so I'm like, nah,
[:[00:12:25] Frank Roll: Coherence. You know, I work in a building full of engineers. I brought up how I really liked the new images from this James Webb, you know, satellite with the fancy camera.
[:[00:12:49] Frank Roll: Through the James Web Telescope?
[:[00:12:52] Frank Roll: Fucking amazing. I'm just saying.
[:[00:13:06] Frank Roll: the whole time we talked about it, talking about a completely different movie.
[:[00:13:10] Scott Moran: Yes. Have you seen this one? No. Oh, great. . Yeah, awesome. I like
[:[00:13:26] Scott Moran: That's crazy. I Now I wanna know what you were thinking
[:[00:13:28] Frank Roll: I know. And now what I was thinking of, I definitely cannot remember the name of, but I can still picture the cover, so I'll look for it some more. But that's why the Night B, well, the day that I was gonna watch it, I sent you that text like, is this what we're watching? Because I was like, you fucking idiot.
[:[00:13:47] Scott Moran: just when it hits you well, it's good. You checked with me. Yeah,
[:[00:13:58] Scott Moran: would be weird. Yeah. If we were sitting here and you were like reading the summary and you were like, what the fuck?
[:[00:14:06] Frank Roll: did. I'm really misinterpreted
[:[00:14:10] Frank Roll: I know sometimes we don't always see eye to eye, but
[:[00:14:22] Scott Moran: like this one. I think this one is a, uh, completely different kind of dinner party movie than the other four. Yeah. A little more horror thriller. Yes. But, uh, still had all the parts. Yeah.
[:[00:14:46] Frank Roll: that's. Who the fuck what movie was. I'm sure you know this and if we're gonna talk about it, that's What movie was Amy in? I
don't
[:[00:14:54] Scott Moran: I forgot to look her up. I meant to, she
[:[00:15:00] Scott Moran: chick. I've seen everyone in this movie in something else. Because I like this kind of movie. I like
[:[00:15:12] Frank Roll: It's gonna blow your mind who she was. You
[:[00:15:33] Scott Moran: Eric showers, Talia Blast Musics makes a drink. Nothing's. When Eric gets out though, he finds Talia dead with the title of the movie, written in Blood on the Window, the seconds before he takes a fucking machete to the head. Then comes our classic dinner party setup, though, unlike the other four films we watched, this movie also qualifies as a slasher, a weekend away, a family reunion movie.
[:[00:16:01] Frank Roll: one. Yeah, I'm not even gonna try, but I, I, I believe
[:[00:16:11] Frank Roll: I was gonna
[:[00:16:12] Scott Moran: That's what it said on Wikipedia. Fucking random. And they prepare for the house guests. During this, we see Erin, our protagonist and her boyfriend, Crispin Paul and Aubrey's son. also making the journey there in the car.
[:[00:16:28] Scott Moran: Microsoft Word did not like that shit. I bet wealthy people.
[:[00:16:47] Scott Moran: Aubrey sensibly goes outside. Paul goes upstairs to check. Paul's search is interrupted by Crispin and Aaron's arrival, and they find the mom outside crying. Not sure why. Very emotional.
[:[00:17:05] Frank Roll: Yeah, like on her part right there. Fuck
[:[00:17:11] Frank Roll: in our summer home if I'm in place that fucking rural. And then I see that like my significant other comes in on the same level as the house as me when I just. Know that I heard shuffling above me. Somebody's in that fucking room that's not supposed to be here.
[:[00:17:28] Scott Moran: so everybody settles in for the night and goes to sleep. Another place that this movie sort of differs from our other ones. The couple settles in for the night, the following day. The other family members arrive. Brother Drake and his wife Kelly arrive in the morning and just before dinner, brother Felix.
[:[00:18:00] Scott Moran: Drake, Paul twists his ankle trying to get away the family retreats to the front hall. Aaron suggests it's a bad idea to try to leave and making a run for the car. Amy is killed when a razor wire trap across the threshold slits her throat, and big spoilers start here. If that already wasn't enough for you, they're trapped, but the animal mass killers aren't just already in the house.
[:[00:18:39] Frank Roll: No, not Amy. Sorry. . I fucked that up. Erin fucked it up. . Fuck it. I had Amy on the brain, man. I totally forgot to look up what she was
[:[00:18:52] Frank Roll: Yeah, getting there was not the easiest for me. I had small, I had small things. Overall, I liked this. I had, I had good for what it is.
[:[00:19:02] Scott Moran: far as this quality slasher movie. It's a really good one. Did you look up that song? I didn't. I fucking hate that song. So in the opening of this, if you haven't seen it, , when the neighbors get killed, the song she puts on, which is one of the fucking most annoying things I've
[:[00:19:22] Scott Moran: it just plays on a loop. The entire movie. Anytime they're at the neighbor's house and it's like,
[:[00:19:40] Scott Moran: think you nailed it. Okay. Yeah. A little too, uh, into the strokes, but also a little like, they, like Bob.
[:[00:19:50] Scott Moran: Yeah. One of 'em is definitely wearing a vest with like frayed frills all over
[:[00:19:57] Scott Moran: Maybe. Maybe. But not real. No. Like they play with just practice orange jams, , and like a drum set with like one symbol. That's what it sounded like to me, and it was that time, 2011, the dark.
[:[00:20:17] Frank Roll: man. I just want to sing. Well, you're next. I know.
[:[00:20:45] Frank Roll: Vincent is Aaron Nicholas. Tucci is Phoenix. Wendy Glen is z AJ Bowen is Crispen. Joe Swanberg, also award director as well as writer of 2020s, the rental as Drake. Rob Moran as Paul. No relation. I don't know. Maybe Barbara k Crampton is Aubrey. Sarah Myers is Kelly. Amy Seitz is Amy. Oh, it's just Amy spelled different.
[:[00:21:13] Scott Moran: No shit. Yeah. You didn't know that. I
[:[00:21:30] Frank Roll: That's
[:[00:21:33] Frank Roll: Your next was filmed in 2011 on location at a rural Missouri mansion that had been unoccupied for 12 years and was shot in one month for only 2 million. It premiered at the Toronto Film Fest in 2011, but did not receive a worldwide release by Lionsgate until 2013. Grossing over 7 million in its opening weekend.
[:[00:21:57] Scott Moran: its biggest flaw. Does it need to be original when it's like this? We're watching dinner party movies, . I think we've proven in the last month that it doesn't need to be original to be good.
[:[00:22:07] Frank Roll: quick, while we're right there, did you see something weird about the youngest brother in that first picture? They
[:[00:22:17] Frank Roll: Z, right? Yes.
[:[00:22:21] Scott Moran: That's when I knew. That's when you knew like at that very, when was the, was that at the very beginning
[:[00:22:40] Frank Roll: I'm trying to be sneaky, like .
[:[00:22:46] Frank Roll: I bet if you went
[:[00:22:50] Frank Roll: so in this family portrait, it's like a, you know, family portrait. Everybody's, you know, his face is like off to the side like his, he's angled a bit differently.
[:[00:23:10] Scott Moran: with the kid. Interesting. They threw you off enough though. I think he's around a lot, but I don't know.
[:[00:23:19] Frank Roll: man. I was just waiting for it and then I was like, well, maybe not. Maybe they're doing the thing where they're misdirecting me. I
[:[00:23:34] Scott Moran: This community of directors. Mm-hmm. , they call this Mumble Gore. Really? Yeah. And I don't know why, but I like it. Like, I know it probably has something to do with Mumblecore, that it's kind of punk.
[:[00:23:48] Scott Moran: Yeah. They all come out of the woodwork, and that actor who plays Eric in the opening of the movie he was in until Dawn,
[:[00:23:59] Frank Roll: was the one banging the chick in the house. Right? He's the
[:[00:24:11] Scott Moran: I mean,
[:[00:24:16] Scott Moran: that kind of overjoyed me that you really didn't know what you were getting for
[:[00:24:28] Scott Moran: champagne glass.
[:[00:24:36] Frank Roll: I was saving that and
[:[00:24:42] Frank Roll: I was saving that thinking.
[:[00:24:45] Scott Moran: it some more. Yeah, we're gonna beat this horse until it's dead. So , we'll get to it. Not, not all right now. Not all right now. Well, we're moving on to something else.
[:[00:24:59] Scott Moran: dick. Such a dick. To Barbara k.
[:[00:25:16] Scott Moran: Off and on. I came from an all
[:[00:25:22] Scott Moran: wasn't Timmy, Jimmy, Timmy, Timmy. That shit was weird,
[:[00:25:27] Scott Moran: will, but I feel like they tried to throw you off with like Drake's a dick,
[:[00:25:31] Frank Roll: He did a really good job
[:[00:25:40] Frank Roll: table, he just met his sister's boyfriend, the director
[:[00:25:47] Scott Moran: That's what I like. Commercials
[:[00:25:52] Scott Moran: He, he fucking nailed that part. Yeah. He's a good director, but, Man. Annie wrote the rental. So he wrote the rental. Isn't that kind of crazy? Because I feel like that overlaps here. That's a weekend away. Yeah. And one day we'll do all weekend away movies.
[:[00:26:07] Frank Roll: a horror, you know? They are. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't normally end happy. Did
[:[00:26:19] Frank Roll: Yeah. At the books. The
[:[00:26:21] Scott Moran: At the seminar. Yeah. He gets mad about his family member and he punches it. That's him. . He pops up in some things and they're all kind of this level stuff. I really like him though. He was, uh, in the signal, not the one with Cowboy Curtis. Okay. Once again, the
[:[00:26:37] Frank Roll: He's
the
[:[00:26:43] Frank Roll: that's him. So I need to rewatch the signal. That one, you know, not with Morpheus.
[:[00:26:52] Frank Roll: See, I feel like I've seen that one twice, and I've only seen the signal with the Joshua Jackson knockoff once.
[:[00:27:10] Frank Roll: felt like they had cleaned the blood off the sliding glass door in the back though.
[:[00:27:23] Frank Roll: You don't make as big a batch of whatever you were
[:[00:27:28] Frank Roll: quick
[:[00:27:36] Scott Moran: Mm-hmm. . Well, in
[:[00:27:46] Scott Moran: characters. I thought that was also interesting that the outsider was almost the, like, not just the hero, but she was also sort of, and most of the other ones where we had an outsider, they stirred things up.
[:[00:28:09] Frank Roll: think that they would've made defense contractor,
[:[00:28:15] Frank Roll: Really fast. You know, I mean, cuz Tka and Amy, they were probably, I didn't mind.
[:[00:28:21] Scott Moran: No, we really didn't.
[:[00:28:23] Scott Moran: They're done. Yeah. They went out fast for coming so late. Mm-hmm. . But when she's standing over and you see that blood and you just see like, like you're like, oh, this is a different movie than I thought it was
[:[00:28:54] Scott Moran: Like they, they eased into it.
[:[00:29:02] Scott Moran: Yeah. But I like that she was Australian and uh, and it was a survival thing. It was a survivalist colony.
[:[00:29:08] Scott Moran: of Mad Max.
[:[00:29:13] Frank Roll: the home aloneness for you to say that
[:[00:29:21] Frank Roll: R-rated Kevin McAllister them.
[:[00:29:27] Frank Roll: I just think of the family guy where it's like, if it was home alone with, uh, what was it reasonably, it's like basically if real burglars had broken in and Kevin was there.
[:[00:29:52] Frank Roll: uh, the title brings it all together of that little segment, but, uh, no, I mean, The song Looking for the Magic by the Dwight Twilley Band. Great song, .
[:[00:30:05] Frank Roll: No, I'm just gonna randomly talk about it every five to 10 minutes. That way you can hate me
[:[00:30:14] Scott Moran: And then when Kelly finds the neighbors, it's always in a slasher movie. That character is fucking doomed. Oh,
[:[00:30:26] Scott Moran: They took the Vicodin
[:[00:30:32] Scott Moran: He tries to have sex at a weird moment, like right after she gets outta the shower. He
[:[00:30:50] Frank Roll: I don't know. I just think that the timing of like how far he got with it was
[:[00:30:55] Frank Roll: it was gonna happen, gonna happen, and then she's like, I'm not feeling this right. Or whatever. The mutually like, mm-hmm. Yeah. It was just like, you know, he gets that far, then she's like, no.
[:[00:31:11] Scott Moran: was also, it took me looking up the masks to figure out what some of them were, because one of 'em was like a tiger, but they were all white, so it was hard to tell. Like I got, yes, it was a sheep,
[:[00:31:22] Scott Moran: wolf, a sheep, a tiger, and a fox.
[:[00:31:31] Frank Roll: See that's the thing. There's one of 'em that they showed in one scene or that they could, and they can do like a saw later on. You know what I mean? There was somebody else, it was hard
[:[00:31:45] Scott Moran: I know that one is, uh, Also, he's right about that home invasion. Scared the shit outta me, man. I'm telling you, the Reynold scared the fuck outta me towards the end and uh, the strangers fucks me up.
[:[00:32:08] Frank Roll: They're the good ones. You know what I mean? Like in the frame. And I just like that. I'm like, well it'll gimme that extra like half second to do something if somebody's really trying to tear that fucker
[:[00:32:23] Frank Roll: She was on her toes, you know? No hesitation thing.
[:[00:32:33] Frank Roll: kind of hight, strung, but I mean, think of what she had to deal with. I mean that, I mean, Drake as a son.
[:[00:32:40] Frank Roll: yeah. Who knows what Felix was experimenting with.
[:[00:32:51] Scott Moran: was the, I didn't see that. That's, that's crazy. I've seen it so many times. I've never noticed that.
[:[00:33:02] Frank Roll: And then like, oh no, and there he gets fucking stabbed in the throat. You know? Like I was waiting for it to twist around and be like, Nope, you were fucking wrong. But I wasn't kind of,
[:[00:33:16] Frank Roll: Cuz I didn't see the other thing.
[:[00:33:24] Scott Moran: Yeah. When? Because then Crispen goes for help and doesn't ever come
[:[00:33:36] Frank Roll: No, that wasn't the
[:[00:33:46] Frank Roll: Yeah. So I was wondering that because okay, so I've never stabbed anybody. Yeah, no.
[:[00:33:56] Scott Moran: It takes a fucking while to die. Well,
[:[00:34:14] Frank Roll: That's, you know what I mean? See? Yeah. It's all about reaction and. How far you're willing to take it. , or just how quick you are on your toes, you know, like, Hey buddy. Hey Felix. Maybe like four or five small needles to the chest isn't kicking in quite good enough. Maybe something to the eye side
[:[00:34:32] Scott Moran: Aaron's final girl kills. Get way more intense as time goes on because that first one, she beats that guy with a meat tenderizer. Meat tenderizer. The big what? What
[:[00:34:43] Scott Moran: the big fucking meat tenderizer? I've never seen one that
[:[00:34:50] Scott Moran: combo
[:[00:34:54] Frank Roll: I mean, are they doing like these huge like roasts every night? What the fuck do you. The thing was huge. How, how, um, what's something to put it in perspective, because she wasn't like a short, short person. I don't believe she wasn't tall either, though. So maybe it was a little outta outta
[:[00:35:11] Scott Moran: And that's, it starts with like a, which is bigger than, I'd say, bigger than an apple. Yeah. And it starts with a bludgeoning and then it escalates to like when we get to Felix and Z, that shit is brutal. because she fucking kills him with a blender. I was hoping
[:[00:35:25] Frank Roll: I was hoping And then it happened and I was like, yes. I was like, oh, fuck yeah. Yeah. There was just like that. Yeah. She did
[:[00:35:39] Scott Moran: But I appreciated it being
[:[00:35:53] Scott Moran: she almost hit Erin with that board with nails full nail.
[:[00:36:00] Frank Roll: she turned around, Hey, Erin nails right to the face. Yeah. She did not go that route. And then even right before she gets it, like, what is she doing? Like growling at her, hissing her, whatever. She ing her teeth. Yeah. Like, ah. And I thought it was like, oh, it's gonna be one of those, oh, who gets to the ice pick?
[:[00:36:22] Scott Moran: We're jumping around real bad, but, uh, She tries to fuck him next to her dead mom. Yes. Oh yeah. Let's go back there. The machete is sticking out of mom, still in the bed, and then in the next shot it's gone. And also it would be with the fox cuz he had the machete, right?
[:[00:36:39] Frank Roll: was the shorter guy. Which I don't remember which one was.
[:[00:36:46] Frank Roll: at the very beginning when they found her like that, they had not yet weaponed up. Somebody's gotta pull out on mom's head is what I was thinking. If you were really
[:[00:37:00] Scott Moran: Wait, what wire? The wire across the front
[:[00:37:03] Scott Moran: saying, like it just like . It just got more shit hanging off. And nobody else fucking ran into the wire. It was just Amy. It was like Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead. He just got dirtier and dirtier and then
[:[00:37:16] Frank Roll: Again, Amy, guess who she is? Ferris Alien. Covenant. Danny McBride's chick. Yeah. Okay. She was an alien
[:[00:37:23] Frank Roll: She, what was the chick from? Um, Clea. Deval. You know how she's got that distinct face? Yeah. I felt like she looks like her, and I feel like I thought that in covenant too.
[:[00:37:45] Scott Moran: times throughout the year.
[:[00:38:03] Scott Moran: Oh, really? Mm-hmm. . But those are little things I like about this kind of slasher movie because I think it has to be a little bit cheap.
[:[00:38:20] Frank Roll: I don't know how I would do, I could be really bad. I don't feel like as, as if he was the strongest actor. I liked what he did.
[:[00:38:34] Frank Roll: He knew what he was doing because I thought that sometimes Drake was a bit heavy handed with it and it was almost like the nanny, nanny booboo kind of, I don't know.
[:[00:38:44] Scott Moran: mean, it could have, oh, you know what? AJ Bowen was also in Ready or not, he's the husband of one of the daughters, so he's, he's in a lot of these kinds of movies. I respect his. I'm sure he is just a cool guy and they like him. Yeah, but he's good in it, all of it. He's kind of crazy.
[:[00:39:02] Frank Roll: scary. And like you're saying, everybody did a good job. They
[:[00:39:16] Scott Moran: Oh, that was great because that was a solid trap with the ax and the, the brick attached to it. Mm-hmm. to weight it down. Yeah. That's some real puzzle shit. That's some real survivalist colony skill. Motherfucker
[:[00:39:40] Frank Roll: her because he sees her doing like the final kill and he isn't attacking her. He is unarmed. So you're like, oh, it's gonna,
[:[00:39:49] Frank Roll: point. It. She could play
[:[00:39:52] Scott Moran: Doesn't matter. The cop got fucking
[:[00:39:58] Scott Moran: really like, it just ends right there. And I think Aaron survived. You think Aaron survived? Yes. I am always under the assumption that if you don't die on camera, , like really die.
[:[00:40:08] Frank Roll: done well and especially because she's the established badass of the movie and it's clearly a high and Right. That was, we're very close to the shoulder. So you're like not the heart side. You don't really have anything vital that high. I mean, that's muscle, tendon,
[:[00:40:23] Scott Moran: Like, I like that Final girl at the end of, uh, Texas Chainsaw Masker. Mm-hmm. , where you're like, that girl's fucking nuts. Now and Erin is in deep shit because she killed all these fucking. , she was an outsider and she's the wild card, but they end right there, which is a nice Scott place to end. It was good.
[:[00:40:46] Frank Roll: really appreciated the last 15, 25 minutes of that movie. I thought the end just that was, that was the good stuff. Yeah, they went all the
[:[00:40:56] Frank Roll: I was just looking at my notes.
[:[00:41:00] Scott Moran: out. . I did think that he would fucking die, like it looked like a punctured his fucking lung. He made like wheezing sounds and all that, and then he just passed out and woke back up. We needed him for a more story.
[:[00:41:15] Scott Moran: maybe.
[:[00:41:28] Frank Roll: once, when I was 13, I got in a fight. I got punched in the nose from behind, it fractured my nose, and it, it did something to my orbital, like it messed up my eye a little.
[:[00:41:50] Frank Roll: So we would cut through there to go to Dallas nightclub parking
[:[00:41:57] Frank Roll: Yeah. People were like, come over to my house after school. Cuz you know, I was like, wasn't at school. And then I'm all like 13 and all pilled out.
[:[00:42:21] Frank Roll: I didn't feel it. I got steps in with a nail in my heel.
[:[00:42:37] Frank Roll: grabbed the wood and just pulled the fucking nail outta my foot. No. , that's same thing happened to me.
[:[00:42:53] Scott Moran: alcohol. . Yeah. When we were kids you didn't
[:[00:43:01] Frank Roll: That's the thing. I'd just been, and they gave me a shot, dude, that was so badass. I, they gave me a shot. I was out for like three, four. Oh, that was great. And then you wake up and you're going home for a couple days with hydrocodone.
[:[00:43:15] Frank Roll: I'm saying the power of the pills, man, you might be right about that. I don't like pain pills anymore cuz I like, I feel like I get aggressive, like I'm just looking for a fight with somebody. Andy's shit funny. So, I mean, it's not fun, but I'm, I'm thinking that the.
[:[00:43:32] Scott Moran: Well, I think that the big similarity between protagonists anyway, where everybody was sort of on the cusp of a decision that she's meeting this guy's family for the first time. So it's sort of
[:[00:43:49] Frank Roll: Or do you just have to kiss ass for a couple?
[:[00:43:57] Frank Roll: family. You know all these stories. If one of 'em is marrying like the rich one, they're cool with
[:[00:44:02] Scott Moran: But that shit Crispen was saying was like, you were gonna be the witness, , we were gonna leave you alive. They're
[:[00:44:12] Scott Moran: It's a weird idea to, to do that. Why are you not? Just like, I get that Felix was the younger one, so he was, they were trying to kill everyone that could, like, they didn't want Drake to have that money , so they were like, fuck that shit.
[:[00:44:33] Scott Moran: they. Full on military. Well, and
[:[00:44:38] Scott Moran: tactical, like maybe special forces, but not, no, I mean, like, maybe it's not super special, like ,
[:[00:44:53] Scott Moran: You fucking military family brain. I, I mean, I don't know anything about that. So I just was like, I.
[:[00:45:12] Frank Roll: Are you a radar guy? Are you a cook?
[:[00:45:18] Frank Roll: closet, the master closet. That was the master bedroom, which means that the parents stayed a night in the room with him in the closet. Oh, fuck yeah. They didn't open that closet.
[:[00:45:27] Scott Moran: about to open that closet when Crispen
[:[00:45:37] Scott Moran: but, but you haven't stayed there a while. Why not check before you get to bed? Just, I'm
[:[00:45:42] Frank Roll: I'm always afraid of sp like . I don't want them near a bed or, you know, I've been stung by scorpions. So like, uh oh, the, uh, bachelor bachelorette thing before my wedding, there was a centipede in this fucking weird lakehouse thing that we, this is the biggest goddamn centipede I've ever seen in my life.
[:[00:46:03] Scott Moran: I don't know that I would check the closet for those sort of things.
[:[00:46:15] Scott Moran: little bit and now we know that this was part of that evolution.
[:[00:46:18] Frank Roll: and I mean, not to mention that that can be real life , so, and I just watched Barbarian, goddammit, um, .
[:[00:46:34] Frank Roll: I get that there was a plan, but I mean, would that end game have really worked with the police and lawyers and insurance and the banks?
[:[00:46:52] Frank Roll: with it. Was it just supposed to be like a home invasion, but only these people died? Was that the, that's kinda
[:[00:47:00] Scott Moran: Mm-hmm. is why not just kill mom and dad? When they're there by themselves and everybody shows up and they're already dead and then the money's gonna be, everybody gets their inheritance. It was like they were trying to break the inheritance down. It's a good point. But they were trying to, they were paying those guys a lot of money.
[:[00:47:20] Scott Moran: Yeah. He was gonna. Pay 'em like $500,000.
[:[00:47:37] Scott Moran: I don't know. I don't know what kind of money is in, uh, defense contracts. Like where was he
[:[00:47:46] Scott Moran: the taxes on that
[:[00:47:58] Frank Roll: There could have been asterisks for. . That's just what I'm saying. I feel like no matter how much they worked on the plan, I don't know
[:[00:48:19] Scott Moran: Yeah, and I kind of liked it that she was like, fucking Liam Neons.
[:[00:48:36] Frank Roll: For sure.
[:[00:48:41] Frank Roll: I, but I think I
[:[00:48:49] Scott Moran: You
[:[00:49:05] Frank Roll: Just that one to me was like, no matter how freaked out you are, that's one of those things like how did that become the number one
[:[00:49:17] Frank Roll: but that's where she also laid the trap with the wood, with the nails, and there was clearly, I'd
[:[00:49:21] Scott Moran: You're right. You're right about that. And she learned that one directly from Kevin McAllister.
[:[00:49:26] Scott Moran: yeah, that one was in there. That got.
[:[00:49:33] Scott Moran: I'm gonna miss watching dinner party
[:[00:49:48] Scott Moran: but it was fun for a first series to.
[:[00:49:57] Frank Roll: And if you're going with your significant other to meet their family at a dinner party and it's in the woods, fucking watch out. Make sure your phone's charged. Maybe get a little survival kit for your, they had that cell phone jammer.
[:[00:50:13] Scott Moran: They thought of a lot of shit.
[:[00:50:18] Scott Moran: There may have been some filmmaking stuff, but there was definitely everything got answered for, for the most
[:[00:50:26] Scott Moran: everyone driving?
[:[00:50:44] Frank Roll: It was an older Lexus. It was. He probably got it right when he started, like the better you know
[:[00:50:50] Frank Roll: Yes. Like you saw a hood open on something at one point when the hood was open. It was like, so did they fuck up the engine? They didn't show what was under the hood.
[:[00:51:13] Scott Moran: No, that was Crispen. Uhhuh. Well, I mean, Crispen knew. Yeah. Crispy. Didn't think he was in danger. You know, he didn't
[:[00:51:19] Scott Moran: under the hood? I have no idea. Yeah. Must have been something that got cut something
[:[00:51:24] Scott Moran: say it got cut, because I don't remember looking at the length.
[:[00:51:41] Frank Roll: Well, there was that time when like 90 was like a standard almost, and then an hour 45 started and then you had an Epic film if it was like two to two and a
[:[00:51:50] Scott Moran: Yeah. And all of these movies were across genre, but they were all dinner parties. They all ran about an hour and a half. Mm-hmm. . And we did all levels of budget here. This one is 2 million, so the invitation was probably, I didn't look it up, but I would guess it was around. Maybe somewhere in there. These movies are definitely cheap to make.
[:[00:52:09] Frank Roll: yeah, I mean, you had a couple bigger names in the invitation. The invitation or Silent Night
[:[00:52:18] Frank Roll: Knightly is not cheap, I'd imagine.
[:[00:52:28] Frank Roll: there.
[:[00:52:31] Scott Moran: I, I think that that was the highest budget that had the highest special effects budget. Without a doubt. Yeah. We had to see that cloud coming towards us. All the tornadoes. That was the biggest budget of all the movies we watched, this one was, uh, closer to Coherence.
[:[00:52:46] Frank Roll: favorites were Silent Night In the Invitation though. Those were like my top two out of. , like preference
wise,
[:[00:53:02] Scott Moran: And those ones, you really get the bottle dinner party
[:[00:53:07] Scott Moran: this one. I think I just, I'm gonna miss it a little bit and I don't want
[:[00:53:13] Scott Moran: Next episode we're gonna do a little year end.
[:that
[:[00:53:20] Scott Moran: minutes ago? ? Yeah. Watch some trailers that things we're excited about for next year. Stuff like that.
[:[00:53:29] Scott Moran: More of a mini episode than anything else.
[:[00:53:46] Scott Moran: dick. Uh, I'm gonna learn to speak, cling on, and I'm gonna fucking do the whole podcast in clinging on.
