Oh, hello, All right, welcome back to FRIGHT Night Flicks.
You're with Dan and Darren. What's up guys?
Today we're viewing the 2006 classic, well, remake of a
classic, The Hills Have Eyes. It looked like somebody, like,
cut her open, you know? But I'm telling you, there's
something going on, OK? And that's that's not even back
yet. This is about a traveling family
that falls victim to a group of mutilated cannibals in a desert
far away from civilization. These are nuclear.
Monsters is what we're going to deal with.
Yeah. Hillbilly nuclear monsters, I
would say Yeah. And shout out to our tribe
member. Sorry, I forgot whoever
recommended this. Funny fact, we actually were
going to do this about six months ago.
Were we? Yeah.
We, I watched on the plane when we're on our trip.
Oh, I do remember watching this movie.
I didn't realize why didn't we do it?
I think you know what? I think it was during Halloween
and we decided we wanted to do all the Halloween movies, which
actually was a great idea. Not not a bad idea, but this one
has been on the back burner for a while.
It's just kind of like a classic.
And by the way, I didn't even realize there was an original
Hills Have Eyes. I've only seen this one.
There's like four of these movies and when we went to pick
it out, I'm like, which one are we even watching?
I guess that makes sense 'cause it is.
Hills have eyes, not hills. Terrible joke.
I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.
That is stupid. That was stupid.
Anyways, what were we talking about?
There's a lot of these movies. Yeah, cool.
Yeah, these movies are known. I think especially this one of
being particularly brutal. In fact, like doing some
research, they had a hard time getting this an R rating.
Oh really? Well, I could see why there's
some questionable stuff that happens.
There's one scene in particular. Well, there's a couple, but one
for sure that is pretty disturbing.
The funny thing is, the first time I watched watch it, I don't
remember that happening, but I did watch it on a plane the
first time, so maybe I wasn't paying.
Attention to that might be a Fast forward.
Scene. Yeah.
Yeah, You know what? Absolutely.
The movie's directed by Alexandre Aja, writers Wes
Craven, Alexandre Aja, Gregory Lavasol, actors Ted Levine.
Do you know who that is? Buffalo Bill, you just read it.
Yeah, I have no idea. Someone like I have any idea?
You can. You can hear it.
Did you not watch Silence of the Lambs?
I did. But God, Daniel, that's been 20
years ago. He's got a pretty iconic voice.
Well, which one was he in this? The big Bob or Bob big?
He was the dad. Oh, oh, that is.
Him. Wow, there you go.
Rotten Tomatoes critics gave it a 51, audience a 58.
So middle of the pack movie, according to the critics.
But we're not the critics, and I think we'll give it above that
personally. Well, I don't know, it seems
fine to me. All right, before we jump in, we
have some housekeeping to go over starting off with our new
schedule. Yeah, we told you guys we were
going to do the Scary Movie series.
We did probably did a. Couple of them.
We're going to do Scary Movie 1 and 2 and then the new one
that's coming out, we watched it and we were going to review it.
And then I texted Daniel and I'm like, I don't think we can do
this. Yeah, well, I don't know if you
texted me, really. I think I might have texted you,
but that's fine. I.
I that's not true at all, I'll pull the.
Receipts though. Here's the hard part.
Scary Movie is a funny. It's really funny and I like
these those movies a lot. How to review it without like, I
mean, you're going to kill all the jokes.
I don't know how to do it. Yeah, I just think it's too hard
because even when I'm watching, I'm like, oh, that's really
funny. What do I have to say about it?
Because it is ridiculous. But that's the point of it.
So it's like there's nothing really to critique other than
just telling you guys the jokes. And it's a comedy.
We're a horror movie podcast. Yeah, so I love the movies.
I'll watch the new one, but yeah, we're not going to reveal
them. Yeah.
So what are we going to review? So now we're going to review
Sinister, which is a really scary movie.
I like it. Classic horror Backrooms, which
is a new release so that'll be fun, and then another classic
Dusk Till Dawn. Dusk till dawn is going to be
fun. There's a new movie called
Obsession. I wanted to do it, but Daniel's
pretty busy right now, so new movies are like really tough for
us. Yeah, it's hard.
You got to go to the theater. You got to like, then afterwards
write the whole review. It just takes a long time.
Yeah, his schedule's all over the place right now.
It'll settle down here soon. But because of that, we'll have,
we'll maybe catch that when it comes out to video, or maybe
we'll do it after Dusk Till Dawn.
We'll see it depending on how the reviews go because there's a
ton of hype behind that movie. Yeah, we can kind of figure out
how it is and if we want to do it, we'll do it.
Yeah, and if it's good, let us know and we'll do it.
All right, now we got to move on to the reviews.
So we have a goal of hitting 80 on Apple, 160 on Spotify.
Just a quick update, we're at 63 on Apple 138 Spotify.
So that's a plus one. Plus one on both and we, you
know what? We'll, I'll take it.
Yeah, I know. Thank you guys for leaving the
review. And once we hit that goal, we
are doing a bonus episode. You might be a while from now.
Well, I don't know. Yeah, guys, start leaving some
reviews and let's do an extra bonus review.
All right, we got to shout out some new members on YouTube.
We have Jeff Casey, Dowdy me fan.
Zach, good to have you guys with us.
Hey, thanks for joining that man.
We appreciate it. Enjoy the bonus movies and I
know some of you have been around before and re upped.
I'm just shouting you out anyways.
Yeah, we don't care. Thank you.
OK, there's one other thing I wanted to mention, you guys,
Everyone go join our Patreon. It's Fright Night Flakes
Patreon, whatever. You can search it up.
It's totally free and we do a lot of our voting on there.
It's because YouTube has like parameters that don't work for
us. Yeah.
When we do polls on YouTube, you can only have 4 votes.
So I'm like, dude, I'm going to Patreon to do all that because I
can have like unlimited number of entries for a poll, which
works for when we're trying to vote for movies to do so you can
join for free and vote on those polls because I'll drop them
every month. Yeah, and we still take our
YouTube members recommendations and everything, but we have to
do the voting over on Patreon. So join.
It's free, just hang out over there.
Yeah, and if you want bonus episodes, you can join for not
free and get bonus episodes. Yeah, on YouTube, our Patreon.
Exactly. All right, let's move to what
the people say. About tell, not tell us.
Tell Don not that one. What?
Which movie are? We doing the wills have eyes?
I forgot those are the reviews we're reading starting with RT
Lee. Inspiring.
This is my Gammy's favorite movie.
She saw in theater and fell in love with the desert atmosphere,
mountainous scenery so much that she packed her things, sold her
house, and moved to that very area to live amongst her new
favorite climate. I gifted her this Blu-ray as a
moving away gift. I saw a tear rolling down her
old wrinkly cheek when she opened it.
This is not real. She purchased an old gossip
station and she was working on renovating it into a nice diner
and small hotel. A few days after getting started
we lost contact with her. We have been calling and texting
but we haven't heard anything back.
She must be really busy with all the remodeling.
Love you Gammy 5 stars. OK, that's a pretty funny one.
I like it. Wrote a whole back story of
Gammy moving to the desert. It's good.
It's a cool reveal. Unique I would say.
Moving on to Matt, it's just so hard to watch this, so many red
flags. A detective doesn't realize
every tire was blown at the same time.
That's actually a good point, yeah.
That's a fact. Yeah, for sure.
The whole family should have been on red alert moments after
the wreck. They should have moved as one
all the way. You would have attacked him like
it moved as one. I thought a lot about this too,
so I'm with. Him.
Yeah. I like how instead of saying
like, stick together, move as one, you know, this guy's a
military trainee all the way to the mountain Rd. with the dogs
leashed on either side of the group.
I like to keep. The dogs on the outside.
Staying on the dirt Rd. resisting any urge to invest.
See killing anyone that made a move on the Group One star.
Now, although I don't agree at all.
With the one star. I actually love his review.
I mean, those are some good tactics to survive.
It's really funny that he thought that much about it.
Like hell yeah. It's flinked by the dogs.
He thought that much about it and decided he wanted to leave a
review to let everyone know how to survive.
That was cool though, I enjoyed it.
Last we have Chelsea bad. Didn't really like.
Thought it was a different movie. 1 star.
That is interesting you get those on these reviews.
Sometimes people just watch the wrong movie and then leave a bad
review. I like that you'd watch the
wrong movie. That's your fault.
But then you go back and review it as a one star because it's
not the movie you thought it was.
People are crazy. Yeah, people are crazy.
Speaking of crazy people, what did you think about this movie
with your initial impressions? Yeah, So I like the atmosphere.
It was Guy, Man. It felt similar to the TCM where
it's that just dirty vibe, right?
There was a ton of TCM vibes. I actually think they took
inspiration from it. I believe I read that.
Oh you can, it makes sense. Kind of these hillbilly family.
It's more. Dirty, hot.
The hot, dirty, gritty fill. Yeah.
And you. It comes through.
Absolutely. I hold on.
Can I say something before we go too deep?
Do I have a choice? No.
I have a real problem with this movie because I always think
it's wrong turn. Yeah, you've done that a couple
times. I don't remember what wrong turn
is, but that makes sense though and I feel like we've already
had this conversation where they do make a wrong turn in this
movie. So yeah, yeah, I know.
So every time I think of this movie, I'm like, oh, I remember
they make the wrong. I mean, I guess they
purposefully make the turn. So is it a wrong turn?
It is a wrong turn in the fact that they would survive if they
didn't do it, but they meant to make it.
Are you asking me a question I don't?
Is that a wrong turn? Well, yeah, they do make a wrong
turn. Yeah, but they're told to make
the turn and they turn there. Well, it was a wrong.
You know what? You're right.
This is wrong decision. Yeah, it's wrong.
That's a new movie coming out. Anyways, I just had to say that.
But go back with your whatever you were saying, guy.
Who knows what I really liked about the movie.
They throw you into this situation, They throw this
family in there, and it's like there's nothing they could do.
They were, once they got the tires popped, they're just kind
of stuck in no man's of land. And I do enjoy, too, the way
that the mutants kind of set them up.
Like they had some tactics with how they were going to destroy
this family, right? I mean, we got comms.
They have comms, they have a distraction, which worked
perfectly well for them, not so much for the family.
It's kind of good too, because the mutants have like, different
abilities. They seem, you know what I mean?
Like there's one really powerful one.
One's kind of the more nimble slash devious one.
They got a real one. Yeah.
It was a problem, Yeah, I thought.
And there was some, like, pretty shocking moments.
And then what I love though, is you build that hate meter where
you can't stand these people. And then we get to see some
retribution. So, yeah, I I thought it was
good. It was pretty, pretty decent.
Yeah, I'll say, too. Like, the characters were
interesting enough, you know what I mean?
Like the main characters? Yeah.
You know, I don't feel like we spent that much time, but I feel
like I got to know them well enough.
And I do think it's interesting who becomes kind of the hero of
this. Like it definitely isn't
expected. No, well I would say it's the
opposite from what you would expect for sure.
Would you say your expectations were subverted Totally
subverted. So subverted bro.
Yeah, I think the storyline, I mean, we got like nuclear
weapons involved government, like secret doings.
Yeah, mutant communities. It's Oh my God, is that the leaf
blower? No, not our help.
Yeah, Doug starts off as a complete nerd, and you just
weren't expecting him to be aggressive.
And yeah, he turned into quite the character.
I think that it almost started off kind of he was like a a hole
where I was like, I didn't know really how to feel about him.
And he kind of, he had a beautiful character arc.
Well, yeah, I don't know if it was a hole, but he did, Yeah.
A little pretentious, right? Like he was above the family.
The family seemed more of like a gritty, you know, the dad's a
police officer, he's more techie, that type of dynamic.
Yeah, well, OK, that's enough of the characters.
The mutants though, something I would have liked is a little
more of them, a little more story, or like seeing them live
a little bit. Yeah, well, we do see where they
live. Yeah.
You don't really know what their cultures like.
Well, all these mutants have names and they're like
characters. But I mean, I had to dig to
figure that out. Yeah, 'cause most of the time
they're kind of in the shadows. You don't really see them, you
just kind of hear them. Yeah, and there's a couple that
I didn't even realize. I think of the same mutants that
show up a couple different times, but you don't really
notice it. So there's two we really get to
know, then the rest you kind of just see as they, well, get
murdered. Yeah, but I thought it was a fun
movie. It is kind of dark.
It's not one I really want to watch over and over, it's not
that type of thing, but it was a fun.
Watch. Yeah, well, we'll get into that
again. That sounds like a final rating.
No, I'm not. Just the initial impression
still. All right, let's move.
To the breakdown it all begins in 1945.
In 62, the United States conducted 331 atmospheric
nuclear tests. Is that real?
I mean, there's probably some truth to this.
OK, but this is a movie, so I knew you didn't have the answer.
Today, the government still denies the genetic effects
caused by the radioactive fallout.
Damn, this is our fault guys. We cut to the New Mexico desert
where we have a large river flowing water.
OK, I've tried that four times. It's a water flowing the New
Mexico desert. OK, Can I just say that?
Where? When does that happen?
Well, it's the beginning of the movie, Darren.
Is that? Is there more to that?
Yeah, there's three men in hazmat suits.
Oh, now I remember. Yeah, that's right.
So there's three dudes in hazmat suits using a Geiger meter like
they're measuring radiation with a pancake probe.
OK. Just wanted to let you know
that's what that was. Do you?
Did you know that beforehand? Yeah, hazmat specialist.
Bro Oh that's right, this is your territory.
Anyways, they're obviously checking for radiation in the
area. OK, First thought though, I was
like, do you know how hot it would be in those suits in the
desert doing that? You would get heat exhaustion.
I've never wore those suits. I honestly didn't even think
about it. I thought maybe they had a
cooling system in there. I don't think these.
No. They just look like they have a
breathing apparatus. Yeah, that'd be brutal.
Because this. Seems like in the middle.
Of summer, That's what it feels like.
I don't know. Well, is there a winter season
in the desert? We're not in it.
If there is radiation readings are off the charts and that's
when some dude comes flying at them just covered in blood.
He explodes out of nowhere. Right.
And you're like, who is this guy?
Right. And that's what they're
thinking. They look at him and they're
like, well, who is this guy? And they're kind of wondering
what's wrong. This guy's like staring at him.
All of a sudden, Pickaxe gets buried into his head, coming out
the fright of his mask. Yeah, and I'm like, oh man,
we're starting this right off the bat.
I had a problem with this. Why?
It doesn't look real to me. The pickaxe through the front
looks like it's glued on the front of his mask.
Oh, I, oh, you mean well, that's probably what it was.
Yeah, I didn't buy that. It went through his head.
I didn't pay attention that much to it.
I was more shocked that they just threw us right into it.
Yeah, well, he's dead. So he there's a couple other
dudes left and one of them's crouched over and he gets a
pickaxe to the back which looks like it would hurt.
That would suck. I'd hate to get hit anywhere
with a pickaxe. That's not it because we have
one of the greatest feats of strength I've seen in a horror
movie. I mean, this is on like
Leatherface was strong, Myers is strong.
This dude may be stronger because he picks this dude up
off the ground with a pickaxe in him.
He like has him over his head, swings him around, smashes him
into rocks. Just like it looks like it's no
effort. Well, and that's what I like is
we're seeing this monster like little glimpses and he is big
and only big. He is obviously insanely strong.
He's like the Thor of mutants. Oh, I like that.
Yeah, instead of a hammer, a pig axe.
Yeah, that he buries into people and not a good guy.
No, Yeah. So not that much like Thor
except for Strong. Well the last hazmat dude looks
around and he's like F this these guys are all dead I'm out
of here. Tries to make it to the top of
like a mini rock mountain and he's about to Crest the peak
only to get a pickaxe in the back.
Was it was that? Throw.
Now that was a Berry in the back.
Oh, so he chased him. Well, the bad guy chased him.
OK. All right.
So man, what a start to the movie.
And that's what I like is they show us what's going to be
coming down the road. This is now what we're expecting
to see. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I mean, it can only get better.
Well, I mean well. Depends which side.
From a viewer perspective, sure. We cut over to a truck and on
that license plate reads 615-R, five each.
All right, Dan, what does that mean?
I have no idea. I just wrote that down so
stupid. I thought it might mean
something to someone. I feel like it has to, right?
You would think like, is it one of those you have to like, read
into it? 615 Rish.
Rish. Rish.
I have no idea. Well anyways that's all I
explain if you want to know the the more interesting part is
there's chains on the back of this truck and whether those
attached to that would be the scientists bodies.
OK, we're still on the scene, so they're taking the bodies.
Yes, they drug the bodies off with the truck.
OK, So these are some disturbed people.
I would say, Dan, you know what? That's the only time you see
these people really using vehicles.
Well, we do know they know how to drive because they do like to
consolidate vehicles. Right.
Yeah, I guess somebody has to move them over there.
Well, we actually don't know who the one who's driving is, though
it could be the friendly or the familiar.
These aren't vampires, but, you know, they do have, like, a
helper, right? Oh, you turn the main, dude.
Yeah. OK, we'll get to that.
So the movie opens up. I mean, that's, like the intro
scene. Then we get to this cutscene
where they're showing a lot of, like, atomic bomb testing along
with some genetic mutations that have occurred.
Did you know that these were actually not nuclear genetic
mutations? And they were real, some of
them. No.
What do you mean? These are some of the birth
defects from the old Agent Orange in Vietnam.
Oh, really? Apparently that's horrible.
Yeah, it's a disturbing set of images, to be honest.
I'll be real, I skipped through it.
I just didn't want to sit there and watch it, so sure.
Wow. All right.
Well, I mean, I'm like, yeah, this is a long intro.
I get what they're going for. You got forward.
I mean, come on, You got to like fill the movie.
You got to like, see what it gives you, you know?
I feel like I felt it. Great.
We cut over to Gas Haven, which just happens to be the last stop
for 200 miles. Convenient.
Yeah, they have cold beer and they have a temperature on the
wall, like a big thermometer. 103 I wasn't that impressed with
it. Well, I mean, it's just hot.
It's not unbearable. It's a hot temp.
Well, The funny thing is, during filming, apparently it was in
excess of 120°. That's too much though.
Unbelievable. But it is believable.
That's how they filmed. But the temperature set 103, I
was like, you guys got to boost that up.
Yeah, you know, that is funny. Why did they decide on one O 3?
Who knows, maybe the prop guy just put it there.
Who knows? I don't want to talk about
temperature anymore, Daniel. OK, so in this gas station we
meet the local gas station attendant.
One might. Hey, one might call him the
Harbinger. He, well, Harbinger usually
warns. He kind of sends them in.
Yeah, you're right. He's just the.
The murderer, he's just a bad person.
Well, I mean, he's not that bad. I mean, he is bad, but he does
have a conscience, we see. So he hears something outside.
He walks out with his shotgun. First thing I noticed.
Nasty neck rash. Oh, did he had one?
He did. Well, he's just kind of gross.
I don't think he takes care of himself.
Just saying there was a nasty rash.
I don't know. I thought maybe that's supposed
to be a mutation. Oh, you think he only partially
mutated early mutation. OK, now he seems to think
there's someone named Ruby out here and he's like looking
around for the camera pans to like a dilapidated fence, says
no trespassing United States government Department of.
Energy, Yeah. So we get, we get what we're
doing here. The we know.
What are we saying? We all know what's going on.
He looks around, can't find her, says it's over and you're on
your own now. So here's the deal.
Ruby is a mutant. This guy, she, she is a prettier
mutant, though. Oh jeez.
Like, relax. Well.
I mean, not like that, but. She's a nice mutant.
We'll get to know her. She's the good mutant.
And I believe this guy. I honestly, I think he's their
father. Really.
Yeah. I think in the original story,
because this is a remake and I think this guy was the father of
the mutants. That's why you'll hear him say
some stuff like he feels guilt. Oh OK.
That kind of kind of makes sense.
I guess I was wondering how they reproduce.
I thought there may have been like a hostage type situation
but I don't know. Either way, they don't really
like dive into who this guy is well.
Other than the fact that we know he helps out the mutants.
Yeah. Well, and part of that is like
when he returns to the station, there's a duffel bag in it.
He opens up the duffel bag and it's like a gift bag.
It has pearls, jewelry and then there's like a bloody ear and A
to go container. I don't know why they gave that
to him. I think he eats it.
Oh, I think, I mean, we're, we're dealing with cannibals,
that's for sure. Oh.
I guess you're right. There's not really a ton of
food. But he has a gas station.
They have food in there. So actually, he can get food.
Yeah, but I mean, once you get the taste of human meat, you
can't go back. That's right.
I guess so. I think, again, they don't dive
into everything about him. I think he's supposed to be seen
as their father. We'll go with that.
But that's not explained at all in the movie.
Right now, moving on to our main cast of characters, Big Bob
pulls up and he's he's in a like suburban pole and an Airstream
trailer and they're on a big trip on their way to California,
San Diego in particular, and then they're stopping off for
some gas. Yeah, so we have a family trip,
a little family vacation that they just want to go through the
desert to see the sights, I guess.
Yeah, I mean, I guess some people do like driving through
the desert. I'm going to be honest, don't
really care to. No, I don't want to drive like a
long distance with the family. It kind of is miserable.
And towing a trailer, you got to go slow.
It's just a lot. And this isn't just like a small
family. You got a son-in-law with you, a
baby. I mean, taking a baby through
the desert sounds horrible. Yeah, it seems awful.
For sure. Anyways, let me introduce you to
the cast. We got Big Bob.
He's the ex cop. He's running the show, kind of
the patriot. I mean, he is the patriarch of
the family, right? Yeah, he's gruff.
Very straight to the point I would say, But he's a nice guy.
I liked him. Ethel's wife also a nice lady.
She's. Attractive for an older lady.
OK, they have three kids. Bobby, he seems like a high
school kid. Brenda, maybe college, I don't
know. Got the vibe.
Definitely wants to go to California.
Definitely has like the cool girl vibes, right?
Yeah, seems totally cool. Then we have Lynn.
She's married to Doug and they have a kid named Baby Catherine.
I do like the the baby's called Baby Catherine.
Just like, cute putting baby in front of it.
Yeah, it's like a formal name. It's little baby Catherine.
Let's start calling Dan baby Dan.
Let's not put it in the comments.
Baby Dan Doug, her husband, is the sales.
He's a salesman of phones. I said that backwards, but he's
into cellular phones. Big tech guy.
Back in the day, this was tech. Yeah, I guess he doesn't really
do anything techie in here, but he sells.
He's a salesman, yeah. So, phones, we've covered it.
But he's not techie. I mean, he sells phones.
I thought it was techie. He seems kind of nerdy to me.
Does he do anything that would tell you he's techie?
In fact, he doesn't know how to fix an AC, so that's.
What I'm saying, he's not handy, he's more techie.
Alright, whatever, He's not into this trip.
Doesn't even really seem to be a fan of Big Bob.
Yeah, well, that's what I was saying though.
He seems like more of the nerdy type, whereas Big Bob is more of
the hands on, you know, manly dude.
Yeah, yeah. So there's tension between the
two, all right. They also have two German
shepherds, Beauty and Beast. Yeah, These dogs are out of
control, by the way. They don't follow any orders.
They just seem like. Wild dogs.
OK, I'm glad I do like the dogs and I am a big fan of German
Shepherds. I used to have one.
Yeah, OK, well yes, I agree. I like dogs too, Didn't said.
Didn't it make that clear? OK, but you are, I'm glad you
brought it up. Because they have no control of
these things. They are constantly on the
loose. They know they're around and
like they let them out accidentally all the time.
Well, and then when they get out, they just run wild.
They don't just like as far as they can go.
Yeah, there's no like calling them back.
They are just wild beasts. Yeah, by the way, you mean you
got the Beauty and the Beast thing, right?
I mean, yeah, one's beauty, one's the beast, all right?
It's kind of cute, no? Well.
Who wouldn't get that? There's a whole.
Relationship with these dogs in a very touching moment.
I just want to like, talk about them, you know?
Touching moment. Oh, I think one of the most
heartfelt moments of the movie. Yeah.
OK. I can't see what you're saying.
OK, that's ridiculous. But yeah.
All right, back to the gas station.
Big Bob kind of shows his abrasiveness.
Like when he pulls up, he doesn't like, go in there and
knock on the door. He just honks and yells for
service. Yeah, he's.
Kind of annoying I guess in that way.
Yeah, I thought that was annoying.
It's like, just go knock on the door.
Like, obviously this ain't like a Chevron, but.
You know it's just like the typical father-in-law, right?
Loud, abrasive, annoying. Come on, we know, come on, can
say we both made no people like this.
So Big Mom ends up talking to the attendant.
And that's where Ruby sneaks up and stills Bobby's sweatshirt.
So Ruby's the mutant girl. We don't see her, we just see
the sweatshirt get taken. She's constantly watching them.
Not bad. She's going to be the good
character. But she does need a sweatshirt,
so. Oh, that's why she's in a red
sweatshirt. Yeah, that'd be it.
Yeah, I didn't connect the dots. Still now does come off like a
little red. Riding Hood at times.
Yeah, I mean, it stands out, mutant.
Riding Hood Yeah, yeah. So we talked about these dogs
and they just have no control over them.
That one gets out immediately, runs loose, goes into the gas
station. Lynn has to follow it ends up
going into like the guy's room where that duffel bag is.
Now the dude comes in, he's like, what are you doing here?
Kicks her out, but he realizes she may have seen this duffel
bag and he's a little concerned about that.
So immediately after this incident, he goes out and he's
like, hey, I know you guys are traveling to California.
If you want to take a little shortcut, I know a spot.
It'll save you like 2 hours. Not that this matters that much,
but we did see when we first saw this guy, if we did see, we
first saw, wow, brilliant review here that he was having like a
hard time taking the bag like he didn't want to.
It seemed like he had done something for these people and
this was a gift for him doing that.
And that's what we're going to find out.
He's he's basically feeding the mutants people.
Well, I guess I mean we don't. You just put.
This is how you put it together. Well, yeah, but I'm telling them
we might as well just say that that's what's happening.
Sure, we'll go with that. Now Bob gets this information
again, this is where the review that guy said he's a detective,
he should know better with some of this stuff, and he decides
he's going to take this little excursion on the Dirt Rd.
Yeah, and this is where I could see some people being a little
irritated with the movie because it does seem unbelievable that
they would actually take this just path in the middle of
nowhere. Like, I don't think I would ever
do that. Well, there's a couple problems.
One, they're towing a trailer. You don't want to take a trailer
on a dirt Rd. in the desert like that.
Just seems like a bad idea. Yeah, you're not familiar with
this area, and just driving up into the mountains seems like a
horrible idea when you don't know where you're going.
Really. And you got a baby with you, all
these people. I mean, it just seems bad.
Honestly, I think they should have paved the road for the
movie. It would have been, I'd be like,
OK, that looks somewhat more realistic, just paved like the
first 100 yards just so they'd start going.
Yeah, yeah, OK, maybe you can put a sign up.
You know what I mean? That would have been a shortcut
arrow. So we travel on the road, they
take the shortcut, and we go inside the trailer where Bobby
and Doug are chilling. Everyone else is up in the
Suburban, and I say chilling, but I should say sweating
because the AC is not working. Yeah.
He set it up for me to talk and then just said it, so I don't
know what to say all. Right.
Well, Bobby fixes the AC, shows off some of his little skills,
and then Doug's like, all right, great, now we can breathe.
Lights up a cig. OK, this was another little part
that I thought was unbelievable because he lights up a cigarette
but he's not supposed to be smoking.
Like he mentions his wife didn't want him to find out or
something. Everyone's going to know you're
smoking in there. I had a problem with this, too.
You can't smoke in a trailer and think nobody's going to smell
it. Yeah, it's like, it doesn't go
away, but like, cigarette smoke lasts forever.
I mean, too longwell, Bobby also notices a problem with this
because he's like, hey, didn't you say you quit smoking?
And does my sister know about this?
Doug looks at me and goes hey F your sister.
I actually thought that was a funny line.
I liked it made me like him. He say it in a funny way.
Well, and then he's like, well, Big Bob's going to be mad.
He's going to smell it. And he's like F Big Bob, too.
It sounds like something you would say.
Yeah, actually he kind of does. I kind of liked it too.
I was like, this guy just don't give a shit, you know?
Yeah, he's just kind of fed up. You could tell he's annoyed.
He's even on this trip. He didn't want to go, but he's
here supporting his family, so the.
The drive is going great until out of the dirt rises a spike
strip and Bob runs right over that spike strip as one would.
You can't see it. All four tires immediately
flattened. They crashed into a giant rock.
This rig is out of service. Yeah, and this is where the
whole story starts. They are stuck in the middle of
nowhere in the desert, just with their little camper and truck.
Well, it gets worse because one of the dogs immediately escapes
and takes. Off guy this freaking dog man.
I mean, don't they know? Shouldn't they leash these?
Things, I mean, at one point they put it on a leash, but that
doesn't work either. So these guys, these guys are
wild. They should not be tamed.
No, no, they're meant to be free.
These are. Wolves.
All right, so they got a couple problems out here.
They've crashed. They have no cell phone service.
There is none in this desert, of course.
No, they have ACB radio, and I thought that might really come
into play, really, doesn't they? It doesn't work because there's
big hills around, Bob explains. Also, they hear some breathing
on it later. That's really all you know.
Does no other communication come through that at all?
The CB, yeah. What do you mean?
Like what? Oh, I don't know.
I thought maybe we heard people on it.
I don't remember that happening. I just thought maybe.
No, I think they just mentioned that they hear like they pick up
some chatter, but it's like someone breathing.
Oh, just another ominous little warning.
Right, so we have a dog. We got to go find a dog.
Bobby chases after it, wrangles the dog, but above him there's
someone crawling, watching everything he's doing.
Do we see it crawling or do we just kind of see an image of
someone right? I think this one might be Ruby
again. Yeah, I think Ruby was around.
There's there's a lot of people around.
So at this point Brenda decides, you know what, I'm stuck in the
desert, I might as well get in a bikini and do some sun tanning.
Little did she know that might come back to bite her in the
ass. Well, or yeah.
Well, we don't know. Maybe.
Because some of them may be
watching and may be liking what they're seeing.
That's actually very true. I think maybe they did.
That does make sense. So Brenda's out there doing
that. Big Bob pulls out a hand cannon
and a pistol, gives 1 to Bobby. The pistol, you know, the
smaller one. Yeah, which we see.
Bobby seems to be very familiar with guns as well as Big Bob.
So at that point I'm like, OK. We have some guns.
Maybe we're kind of safe in this situation.
Well, they would be, except I believe Big Bob hasn't told his
son anything about gun safety. Well, he seems.
To know well, yeah, it's not safety, yeah, he does point the
gun at. People, he immediately points at
a Doug, like the gun barrel at Doug.
This is a loaded firearm. I did think that was kind of
funny. It was ridiculous.
Well, it's funny because Bob doesn't seem to care.
He's like, hey, don't mess with Doug.
He's a Democrat. Doesn't believe in Doug.
Doug. He doesn't believe in Duck.
He doesn't believe in guns. Yeah, OK.
Republican, Democrat. We ain't getting into that stuff
on here. Either way, guess what?
You shouldn't aim guns at people.
You're an idiot. You shouldn't.
Like you shouldn't have a gun if you're gonna aim it at someone.
Yeah, but these people are carefree.
I don't think you're getting it. Dan Well, this dude's a cop.
Like he should know. Well, he was a cop.
He's not anymore. Yeah.
We don't know what happened there, do we?
No. Yeah, 'cause now he's gonna be a
private investigator and maybe got tired of the rules.
Man living on the edge. No, no, he should know the
rules. I mean I.
Agree. OK.
Either way, the funny part to me, did you notice Bobby was
like he was trying to tell Doug, like, hey, you should use these
guns. Like they make you feel so
powerful. And while he was saying that,
his voice cracked. Oh, I don't know.
It made me laugh. I don't even know if it was
meant to happen. Either way, I thought it was
funny. That is funny.
I don't know that I caught that. It doesn't bring back a memory,
so I don't think I saw it. Lynn ends up going in the
trailer. She's looking for a sweater or
something. But out the window, she notices
on the hill, like a light glimmers like there's a mirror
or something. Almost seems like a signal.
Yeah, like something's out there, 'cause it's kind of going
in and out, right? It's not like a steady glimmer.
Well, it's like a signal, you know, signal off, signal off.
Yeah. If people are far away, that
might be a way to signal each other.
A signal, yeah. All right, so we're stuck out
here. We got to come up with a plan,
Bob decides, you know what? I'm going to walk to the gas
station. And Doug, you just walk the
other way on the road and we'll just figure it out that way.
Didn't you think that was kind of a weird plan?
Yeah. I mean, it's stupid.
One, you got to stick together 2 Like Bob has to walk 8 miles to
the gas station. Why don't you both just walk
that way or leave? Doug?
There's the other dude. I guess take the kid.
I don't know. Yeah.
You would think, 'cause they're both older men, well, one's way
older than the other, but you would leave one with the people
to protect with a gun. And then you know what though?
Our boy Doug doesn't know how to use a gun, so maybe.
That's why I would argue Bobby isn't any better guy.
Bobby is just. Ridiculous with the gun.
Annoyingly bad. Thank you.
Yeah, you're welcome. But yeah, I just thought it was
a stupid plan. Let's separate them and then
just walk in, you know, different directions.
And yeah, like the guy in the review said, you don't really
even know why your tires. Popped should be a little
alerted here. Yeah, all your tires are popped
again. That is something that should be
concerning, you know. But that's what they do.
The whole family is going to be stuck at that location except
for Doug and the dad are going opposite.
Directions, yeah. So 2 dudes out, but there is
someone on the hill that is watching them with binoculars.
That's the thing, yeah. That's that's a problem.
Didn't you find it creepy though?
Because as soon as they left, you're just like, man, these
people are just stuck here because you can't go anywhere.
I mean, you can walk, but then with the baby and everything,
that's a hard walk. Dude, it's hot out, like it's
miserable. Well, Brenda decides, you know
what? The dogs have been good for a
little bit. Let's let one out of the
trailer. Opens the door, Beauty takes
off. She's like gone up in the hills.
Bobby jumps out, chases after Beauty, and while he's out in
the rocks, he hears a Yelp. Yeah, so he's way up in the
rocks. I mean, guy who knows he could
barely even see where he came from, right?
He went way deep in there. And the Yelp is concerning.
It sounds like a death Yelp. Yes, not a good Yelp.
A hurt Yelp and he ends up stumbling across Beauty, and
Beauty is gutted. Poor kid, his dog's not only
dead, you look and it's like, oh, this isn't a like the dog
fell, this is like someone ripped this thing open.
Yeah, not good. He wasn't concerned enough to me
like hey, this whatever killed this could be like right next to
me. Like he seemed to sit there a
little too long for me. Either way, I'd argue his
reaction. I think.
I think the panic did set in this idiot.
This guy jumps up like decides I'm going to just Sprint in the
just a random direction, runs off a freaking Cliff.
Like just runs off, falls 20 feet, knocks himself out.
Yeah, you would think, hey, let's just run back the way I
came. But he went rogue, yeah.
It was a straight line, like I'm going to run straight to the
trailer and doesn't matter if there's a Cliff or not.
Yeah, it's stupid. I mean, we do see that with
Bobby, though. He is not very smart.
No, not a good survivalist. You thought he would have been
better? No.
No, not at all. Well, he's knocked out.
Ruby comes over again. She's a little mutant with a
sweater on. Our little friend sticks out her
little Yoda looking hand and. His face thought that was cute.
It's like the fingers are together, you know?
It did look like, you know what? It's funny.
The other immune. He reminded me of a sloth.
Oh, OK, You stole it 100%. That's Sloth's cousin.
Yeah, looks just like him, but it's the cousin that went bad.
Yeah, yeah, it's too much time with the Fratellis, maybe.
Well, while Ruby is caring for Bobby here, blood starts
dripping down from above and she looks up to see one of the
mutants gnawing upon one of Beauty's legs.
I took it as Beauty's legs. I I think it was.
OK that's what I was thinking too.
I'm like wait, is that the dog's leg?
Because I don't remember seeing it missing a leg though.
But Bobby has been knocked out. I took it as they went back,
ripped a leg off and this guy's going ham.
If anything, it's very concerning that there is a
cannibal now they're eating a dog.
Not good, no bad. Also not good that Doug on his
journey has found an abandoned car lot and it appears to be in
a bomb crater. Yeah, so there's a giant crater
with cars all over the place. What we're seeing obviously, is
like, hey, they're not the first ones to be set up on this little
journey. Many have been down this path.
By the way, do you know that bomb crater that was CGI?
Oh really? I you know what?
I didn't notice, but it does not surprise me.
No. So things are starting to get
weird here. And that's when it transitions
to night time. Big Bob finally actually makes
it to the gas station. Only problem is nobody seems to
be there. Yeah.
Which is curious. Yeah.
He does a little exploring, looks around.
He finds that bag of all the, I don't know, jewelry and junk and
the ear, which is concerning. Well, which makes me think he's
starting to piece together what happened.
Right. Well, this next part definitely
is part of that because he looks at the wall.
It's just a wall of newspaper clippings that basically tell
the story what the wall and the clippings basically say nuclear
testing was going on here by the government, right?
They kicked all the miners. There was this was like a miner
town. They kicked them all out.
The miners refused to leave. They called troops in the
military, as they say, raises minor town.
Did you understand that raises Ray RAZES?
No, I have no idea what that even means.
Yeah, I had to look it up. Raise means completely destroy.
Oh, OK. Yeah, I've never heard it used
like that. No, what we know is that they
were supposed to leave and they did not.
Instead, they were treated into the mines.
Yeah, basically they were treated the mines.
People got deformed, lots of deformity.
I mean, but come on man, you know bombs are going to go off.
What are you doing hiding in mines?
Like how long could you live in a mine?
See, you're just shill. You're going to let the
government kick you out of your town?
Well, no, but if they're going to, well, yeah, actually, yes, I
will. If they're going to be dropping
bombs on it, I'm just going to move.
I mean, I'm definitely not going to do what they did.
Well, there's a lot of images of deformed kids, and one of them
has the biggest head I've ever seen.
Is that the guy we see later? We'll find him later.
But there's a big ass head. I mean, we'll see.
Yeah, it's. Yeah, the biggest.
Now, after all this testing and stuff went down, the government
eventually left the area. Then people started
disappearing. And you're saying that because
we. See it on the walls, right?
Correct. Yeah.
They mean there's missing photos
and all kinds of stuff. All right, so that's the back
story. Let's go to the story that's
happening now. And Big Bob, because he sees all
this, decides, you know what, I need to just get out of here.
Finds a car, actually finds the key.
But before he leaves, he notices some feet hanging out of the
outhouse. Yeah, and there's some noises
coming from that direction, maybe some talking.
Yeah, somebody saying their final words.
Oh, although by the way, like the way the feet were hanging.
I don't know if it was just me, but I didn't think it was
possible the way the guy was sitting.
Yeah, I don't know, Dan. I thought he was.
It looked like someone was laying passed out on the ground.
But when we go in there, the dude's just sitting on the oh,
yeah, it would seem like he was on the floor, right?
Yeah. Anyways, he's slamming a bottle
of whiskey with a shotgun and he says I did the best I could,
then puts that shotgun and blows off his face.
Yeah. And they showed him.
Man, that was pretty freaking graphic.
Yeah. Face half gone.
Yeah. I didn't think that was going to
go that direction. I thought maybe he was going to
play more of a role. Yep.
Nope. He's done.
Yeah. So he obviously is dealing with
some maybe regret from the decisions he's made.
You know, he could have, like, just helped this guy out at this
point, and that would be one step in the right direction.
He was over. He'd done too much wrong.
So Bob sees this guy's head come off and now he's got another
problem because he starts hearing someone say Daddy,
Daddy. Yeah, in like a very menacing,
creepy way, right? Yeah, not not.
Good. Not like a son, like daddy or a
daughter. It was like a grown man saying
daddy, but not in like a sexual way.
It was. It was making clear.
Well, Bob feels the same way we do about it and he just starts
blindly firing into the darkness.
I don't like that either. I hate in these movies where
they just shoot randomly, especially for him.
He's a sheriff or whatever the heck he was.
You would know to conserve bullets or at least like you got
to see where you're shooting at. Right, you don't just fire and
hope you're going to hit something.
Maybe just one warning shot to let them know what you're
packing, right? Like a warning, great shot.
That would make sense. But no, he does it like a bunch,
and so does his son. Yeah, well, he learned from his
father. Yeah, well, neither of them know
what the heck they're doing. He runs back to the car, gets
in, and that's when he hears Daddy from behind him.
Daddy creepy. The thing's in the car with him.
He looks in the rearview mirror. There's a mutant there and I
believe this is a Papa Jupiter. Papa Jupiter?
Which one's that? It's one of them.
I think it's the trench coat guy.
I don't. He's the one that will later get
exploded. I think it's the same guy.
They again, they don't show you enough the mutants for me to
know who they are. OK.
I thought it was stupid that he just got straight into the car
because he was out in the open, There wasn't anything really
around him and he had a gun. Why are you going and hiding in
a car now? Also, I do feel like, I mean,
this guy's supposed to be a cop. Maybe check the backseat?
I don't know. Yeah, like, what are you even
afraid of? You got the gun.
I mean, I guess they could have a gun too, but at least like,
yeah, don't go run into a car without checking the backseat.
Horror Movie 101. I mean, he should know better
either way. His head gets slammed in the
glass. This guy knocks him out and ends
up, like, dragging him into the mine.
Yeah. So you're like, what are they
going to do? Because they don't kill him.
What? Is his purpose going to be in
this movie? You hear a lot of chatter, too,
like the mutants talking to each other, you know what I mean?
Like so you can tell they've got a plan.
Oh. That they do, my friend.
OK, so Bob's getting drug off into a mine.
We cut back to the trailer and remember Bobby's missing.
Yeah, I do. So Brenda has to go looking for
him. He's been gone for a long time.
Ends up finding him in the rocks, they grab him, take him
back to the trailer, patch him up, he feels fine.
Doesn't mention anything about the murdered dog yet.
Yeah, I thought this was interesting.
We'll just say he's keeping it from his family, I think, to
keep everyone from panicking. Yeah, I think he was just trying
to. Downplay the whole thing.
Well, and that's one other way to say it, but I think he just
didn't want to everyone to start freaking out.
But I think you need to tell everyone.
Well, we'll get to that for now. Beast.
The other dog starts barking and again, we're inside the trailer,
so that's happening and they hear the dog bark.
Bobby gets the gun, goes outside to investigate.
Hey, guess what? Beast is gone.
Beast. Is gone.
All that's left is like the chain it was attached to.
And I thought at first they took the dog but no.
So Beast just got away? I guess Beast just got away.
His dogs are wild. So Beast is missing, but guess
what? What?
Doug's back and Bobby Emilie almost shoots him.
Well, he's on high alert. Now, Doug, you may be thinking,
he's like, I don't know, mad or terrified.
He's been on this voyage. You walked all this way.
He found that like weird car lot.
Well, he wouldn't be terrified. You think maybe he's just
exhausted though. Yeah, annoyed.
He was annoyed already. Yeah, but no, he's having the
time of his life because he found a bunch of like,
collectibles. I mean, I really like this
character. I thought it was really funny.
He comes back with like these little trinkets he's found.
I mean, this guy carried them all the way.
I mean, this might have been miles that he's carrying all
this stuff back. And it's just.
Complete junk. It's like, I mean, there was
like a fishing pole, maybe there was some like paddle ball
paddles or something. Yeah, just different little
toys. But he does have some
information that road he was on that ends at the crater, so
that's not a way out. Yeah, it was a dead end.
So now they kind of should know they've been set up.
Don't really acknowledge that, but you know they should.
All right, now we got to get to the scene that you know what
made me feel something a true. Love story.
I don't even know what to say about it.
So we catch up with Beast. Remember, Beast got free, he
took off into the hills and we follow him on his journey where
he finds his love, Beauty dead. It was tough to see, man.
You could just imagine the things these two have been
through. You could see it in his eyes.
Something died in him that day. I'm going to be honest with you,
I actually didn't like the dog acting in this movie.
I'm not even kidding. I mean, they were definitely
untrained, yeah. Well, there's just other scenes
where I just see the dog and he's just looking at the camera
and I'm like, bro, come on, we can't get the dog from the
thing, remember? Oh yeah, great dog.
He. Was a good dog, the best.
All right, we go back over to the trailer.
It's late, everyone goes to sleep.
But that's when Bobby hears Beast barking.
OK, well, but before that, again, I just had issues with
Bobby because, you know, Doug came back.
You think he would have at least told Doug because Doug and his
wife are sleeping in the vehicle separated from the trailer,
right? They're in the track.
That is true. You would think he'd be like,
hey, let's or I think he kind of did say like, let's all sleep
together. But then he lets them go
outside. It's like you're not warning
anyone about the dangers that could be outside.
Well, he doesn't really know. It could have been an animal
attack. Either way, you should have just
said something. Well, I think he does know
though, because it scares him enough that he doesn't want to
tell anyone. You know what I'm saying?
Either way, here's his dog barking.
But the thing about the bark, it seemed a little off.
Oh really? Like it just didn't seem the
right tone for a dog. Or you told me this wasn't a dog
bark. Do you know this wasn't a dog
bark? No, I got.
Fooled. All right, well, he follows the
sound, only to find it's a mutant mimicking the dog.
Oh, what do you mean? Wait, they showed us that?
Well, he goes up there. I think he runs into the mutant
like he notices. It's like a man.
The guy says something. Oh, shoot.
Wait man, I don't even remember that.
Not the dog. Well, that's creepy.
Now, while Bobby's up here looking for this dog that's a
mutant, Pluto enters the trailer and.
Pluto's the one that looks like sloth.
Pluto's sloth. So Pluto was.
Probably the one we saw in the intro that was just destroying
people. Yeah, as we can see later, he
can just walk through walls and stuff.
Well, and you mentioned Bobby leaving, that's another another
thing that happens constantly is people just leave and they don't
tell each other where they're going.
There's no communication at all. It gets worse.
You know, we talked about the dogs, but the humans do the same
exact thing. That is true.
They just scatter like a bunch of cats.
It drives me nuts because like the review said before, you want
them all to gather and just kind of stay as a group.
They don't do it. Now as Pluto enters this
trailer, he seems to take a liking to Brenda and Brenda's
asleep, so he's just sitting next to her caressing her face.
Do you think you'd sleep through that?
Wake up immediately. Usually you feel a presence and
then with somebody's hand on your face and you're in a weird
area. I think you'd wake up, yeah, but
I don't think you would ever think there's a mutant inside
the trailer wall. No.
But either way, you'd probably wake up.
I think so. Back with Bobby again, he ran
into the mutant. That's not the dog.
He takes off back to where everyone is right?
Doesn't run to the trailer first.
He goes to the SUV, wakes up Doug and Lynn, and he tells
them, like, hey, there's people in these hills.
Yeah. Which makes sense because Doug's
the other man there. Like, you know, we got to alert
the people. Sure.
And finally, here's where he reveals, like, hey, I also found
the other dog. It was gutted.
Yeah. So now, hey, we got some
problems. Yeah.
So they get up, Doug and Bobby, they walk over to the trailer
and as soon as Pluto sees them, he gets on the radio and says
now boom, big fireball in the distance.
Now you may be asking a fireball?
What? What could that be?
An explode? Maybe a nuke?
Yeah, like why would they just set off on a nuke?
Why would they have this giant bonfire in the middle of
nowhere? Well that'd be because Big Bob
is crucified and they're burning him alive.
Dude, when I saw that I'm like Oh my God, just insanity.
OK, I had a little problem though.
The distance seemed like like pretty far away.
Like I feel like they wouldn't know he was on there.
Yeah, I agree with that. I don't even know if he was
yelling, if you would hear it, maybe because I guess sound
would travel. There's not a lot out there, but
man, it was far. Yeah, well, do this.
Everyone sees that it's Big Bob and they all start taking off
running. OK, so this gets all the family
from the location to where Bob is, but it doesn't get everyone.
Not everyone, Brenda and the baby are left and no one has
like spotted the mutant in here. It's a giant mutant.
This is, I think, the most unbelievable part because
there's two of them in there, right?
Well, I think it's, I mean, there's a baby.
No, there's two mutants because there's the big one.
The other one hasn't come yet, OK, but there is a gigantic, I
don't know, 66300 pound man in there, right?
And no one looks over to Brenda at all because he's with her,
right? Yes, he's caressing her face.
So they all just run out of the trailer.
That's part of where I'm like, oh come on, like someone would
have seen that. Well, they didn't.
They all leave. Brenda's in there with the
mutant and the baby. But that's not all, because
Lizard hops off the top of the trailer.
Shuts the door and goes inside with him.
Yeah, and he's kind of the short, gangly, kind of the main
villain of the mutants. Yeah, he's got like a gnarly
cleft lip and like a sideways jaw.
Yeah, it's not. It's not going well for him.
Yeah, it's it's not good. This was the plan, right?
To separate them all. I guess so, because yeah, he
waited with the radio. I don't know.
I mean, it's a risky plan, like to try to get Brenda alone, I
guess. I Yeah, yeah.
I don't know. Either way, lizard's in the
trailer first thing he does, spots the pet bird bites off its
head, drinks its blood. You know what my first thought
is what we just talked about another bird getting its head
ripped off. We've we've had a lot of movies
with birds heads gone missing. Why is that a thing?
I don't know. It was disgusting, you know, and
guys, this is where the movie The movie gets real dark.
OK, I don't want to have to talk about this, but we have to talk
about this. Here's why I like that it
happened in the movie is because it.
Builds. No, I'm just saying I don't like
that it happened, but it worked because it builds this hatred
for the main mutant that is. True, I don't want this to
happen, but when it does happen, we can't control that.
Well, and it's so brutal because you're watching, you're like,
OK, can someone please come back and check on Brenda and the
baby? Like no one even really cared
about the baby. Yeah, the baby was a secondary
concern, but the baby's doing fine.
Brenda, not so well because Lizard sees her and he wants her
for himself, so he knocks Pluto out of the way.
This sends Pluto into like a rage.
He just starts destroying cabinets.
And then Lizard knocks Brenda out, pulls out his mutant, and,
well, I think you know where this goes.
Yeah, I mean, it happened. It is what it is.
I wonder what it looked like. Definitely crooked.
All right, so that's going on in the trailer.
Again, We're not happy about it, but it does build some hatred.
Well, and it's just insanity because not only is that
happening, you have Bob burning on a a pole or whatever the heck
he's on, but the whole family just traumatized at that
location. Yeah, well, let's talk about
that. So they're again, they're
standing there watching him burn as he's screaming.
Now, Doug actually brought a fire extinguisher.
Yeah, I thought that was smart, but I don't think that's going
to do anything. Well, he kind of just like
sprays it into the air. By the way, this thing lasted
forever. I feel like he was just spraying
in there for like a minute. Well, you're a fire guy.
Would that work? Well, it would put some of the
fire out. I mean, that was a lot of fire.
But like, first of all, that thing would only last like 10 or
15 seconds pulling it. Oh, really?
Yeah, They don't last that long. But I mean the.
Daniel of Fire Extinguisher well.
First of all, like you probably want to get it.
You're stupid. You actually probably want to
put it on the fire, like spray it like he was just spraying in
there. So it was never going to work.
I'm going to be honest, I don't even remember seeing anything
come out of. It.
Yeah, he was using it. It just, again, it was just
going in there. OK, not a great technique.
Finally, though, he does put Bob out after he's, like, fully
burned to death. Yeah.
So Bob is gone officially. Now, again, we have some more
just random people doing random things.
Lynn returns the trailer. That's the mother of the baby
Doug's wife. OK, she finds Lizard holding
baby Catherine so she grabs a pan, hits him over the head, but
she is like quickly overpowered because he also has a gun.
Does he have his own gun? No, he has Bob's gun.
I think he got Bobby. No, he Yeah, Big Bob.
Yeah, he takes Big Bob's little revolver, whatever the heck it
is. Yeah, so now we got to hey, if
you thought it was bad before, it gets weird.
Not as bad. A little weirder, because what
would Lizard want from Lynn? Mother's milk.
He's very thirsty after what he just did.
You know what? I forgot she had the baby.
So yeah, she's got the milk bag. She's got the milk, So what does
he do? He drinks.
He sucks on her titty while holding a gun to the baby's
head. I mean, it's really not funny.
It is horrible. It is.
It's disturbing. It is.
It's just like, like I said, it makes you just hate this guy
immediately. I'm like please can someone come
and shoot this? Guy Well, Ethel hears your cries
and she arrives in the trailer. But she doesn't have a gun.
No, in fact she doesn't. She has a rock, though.
Doesn't work well against a gun she catches around to the chest.
Boom. She sat down.
At least she tried. I mean, props to you.
Lynn ends up grabbing a screwdriver, stabs into the
lizard's leg, but unfortunately he has a gun and that gun goes
to her head and she gets a bullet to the head.
Dude did not think she was going to die.
Well, she didn't die right away. They bring her.
Back for just a like Doug comes over and then she yeah she comes
back to life and then just dies yeah I'm like why did.
They do that. I thought she was going to say
something, but no, it's just that was it.
Yeah. Whatever, she's dead and she got
shot to the head. Man, some bloods all over.
Dude. Talk about just an insane to
kick this thing off. It's a disturbing scene, yeah,
like really disturbing, but it works.
Though like I said, I'm like Oh my God I hate them.
Yeah, You want that lizard to die?
Yeah, Like violently die. Well, and you're also like, how
are we getting out of this situation?
One would think that, but for now, let's go back to the movie.
Pluto steals the baby lizard, tries to execute Brenda, and
then Which is again, that's harsh after what you did, and
now you're just going to try to kill her, but he's out of ammo,
so he just takes off. I mean, yeah, it is harsh, but
it's a. Lizard, I mean this dude, it's a
savage. Man, Doug and Bobby return.
Bobby shows how bad of a shot he is by shooting a few shots at
the mutants as they're running off.
Doesn't hit anything. Again, just random wild shots.
Like, come on, bro. Doug.
Well, why don't you chase after him?
I would Chase. Yeah, for sure.
You chase after him. I mean, you have a gun, so they
have a baby. I would chase, yeah.
I would be sprinting and get close.
Then just shoot them. Yeah, that's my plan.
I agree. I totally agree.
All right, let's cut to Doug, because he's now found his wife
dead and his baby missing. I think you could look at this a
couple ways. Go on, my friend.
I mean, one, it's horrible. Dead wife, baby's gone, right?
That's it's awful. That is just what happened.
Yeah. You could also look at it and
think, you know, there's a lot of freedom that was just gained,
baggage gone. I mean, you did see a shot
earlier where he was looking at Brenda, the younger version of
the wife. I don't know, It was that weird
shot right where he seemed interested.
But you know what? Like everyone, we have eyes.
Come on. She looked good.
It's like, OK, I'm just appreciating nature.
I'm just saying you can look at this a couple ways.
He didn't seem to really like his wife that much either.
It's true. Not that he hated her, but you
know it just. OK, I'm not trying to like say
that's a good way to look. I'm just saying you could look
that way. You're.
Just trying to be funny. We're trying to keep it light
here. A lot of bats have just.
Happened trying to decompress here.
Now after all this goes down, we pan to the hill and we see
Google is up there. That's the name of another
mutant. He looks like a pumpkin face,
right Voldemort? Oh, OK.
That it's like a a flush face, but it like the two nose slits.
Yeah, almost like burn victim. I feel like you need to
acknowledge he looks like Voldemort.
Well, I. I thought he looks like a
pumpkin. A pumpkin.
Did he have a stim? Nah, I I mean, but he I don't
know. Did he have like triangle eyes?
No, I don't know. I guess he did.
You know what Voldemort looks like.
Yeah, but we already used this for what was it the You already
used Voldemort. Did you call everyone Voldemort
now? Well, he's up there with the
Knox checking out the whole scene.
And I did love this part. Beast shows up, freaking rips
his throat out. What?
Oh my gosh. The dog kills him?
No. Yes.
Are you sure? Absolutely.
Yeah, wait, 'cause it. Cut away and you hear a beast go
into town. Huh.
Well, OK, you're getting that confused with another scene.
This one, you see the dog kind of attack him.
Well, shout out to Beast. I don't even remember that
happening 'cause I was kind of wondering what happened to the
guy watching everyone. Well he died.
I I missed that? We cut back to the trailer.
Ethel. She's actually alive for a
minute only to have amnesia, doesn't remember anything that
happened, and then she dies. Well, she was close to death and
she was cold and it was just kind of a sad scene.
Honestly. I'm like, I wish they would have
just left her dead. You know what?
Either way, let's just forget about them.
We're left with Doug, Bobby and Brenda and Beast.
Maybe that scene was just to make Doug more likable because
he was kind of consoling her in her last moment.
You know what was funny? Her daughter wasn't even talking
to her. I mean, she did just have a lot
happened to her. But I mean, your mom's died and
you think you'd be over with her, right?
You know, I didn't think about that.
That's true, yeah. Yeah, but she doesn't even
acknowledge it. Not that.
We'll give her a break, all right?
I know Doug and Bobby now get into a little fight.
Bobby basically calls him like a bitch for not going after his
baby. Valid point.
Well, yeah, but also Bobby, I mean, first of all, you could
have shot them totally with that one.
And also you didn't warn anyone at all.
Also a valid point, thank you. That's when they hear the
mutants again. Bobby raises the Blinkie, drops
3 rounds through the front door. Yeah, and I'm like, oh, what's
so? Someone behind the door?
Nope, there wasn't. Yeah, I'm like, why did he just
shoot the freaking door? Doug walks out.
Said door finds an arm chilling on the ground holding a radio.
Yeah, and I'm like, when did an arm get?
Lost. OK, see you don't get it.
Took me actually during the review.
I figured it out writing it. Oh, thank you.
What? What happened?
Well, who shows up here in a second beast?
The dog. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, Yeah, you're right. Beast just murdered a man.
That man had a radio. Oh that's so cool, beast.
Brought it back to them. OK wait, didn't he also he being
Bobby shoot into the. Floor.
OK, that comes up OK. They find the arm of the radio.
Then Doug's like, hey, he sees a shadow and he kind of like
points. Bobby unloads into the floor of
the trailer. The dog's on the other side of
the trailer. They saw the dog's shadow.
That's who's back, beast. OK, so they were shooting at the
shadow. Of their dog.
Just a waste of bullets though. OK, that made sense.
I didn't even connect the dots to all that.
Which makes sense because I didn't realize Beast killed a
man. You see where my confusion was?
I didn't realize it either. But I do love that the dog
brought back the radio. I like dogs being the hero, and
this dog actually was quite the beast.
Yeah, that's true. Well, on this radio they start
hearing a little chatter and they hear someone say Jupiter is
going to finish them off. Yeah, it's just creepy, these
little savages up there just waiting now watching.
Plotting. OK, I have a question for you
here. Doug's got this radio right.
Absolutely. We hear this chatter.
Basically a play by play of what these moons are going to do.
What do you think he should do with that?
Yeah, obviously my first thought is like, yes, you have
information they don't know you have you listen, then you can
hear what they're planning to do to.
You right, Doug does not do this.
Doug gets on the radio and is like give me my baby back.
Of course they don't comply with this.
Yeah, like these savages just burned the doodle alive.
You just saw your father-in-law get burned.
Do you think they're just going to negotiate now?
Yeah. What leverage do you have?
You're right where they want you.
Yeah, I don't like it. It annoyed me too.
That is the big knock on the movie for me is there's just a
lot of scenes where you're like, why would they do that?
True. Don't care, though.
We're going to keep going. So Doug now realizes they have
this gun, or at least Bobby has a gun.
And he's like, hey, Bobby, how many bullets do you have left?
And here's where Bobby annoyed me again, because he tells him
he has a clip and a half. You don't get the problem with
that, do you? No, I'm not a gun guy, okay?
A clip in a magazine are different things.
He has magazines in the pistol, not clips.
Okay? Clips.
Just a different type of holder. Yeah, it's the way they're kind
of attached. Either way, he's just wrong.
It's a big gun thing. I'm not even a huge gun guy, but
I know clips and mags. It's a big thing.
OK, All right. We'll take some people out there
will be like I I get it. Yeah, I get it too, man,
Totally. All right, after all this goes
down, the sun finally rises and Doug is going to want on a
journey with Beast to go find his child.
So I thought this was a little interesting because they didn't
show Doug communicating with anyone on the plan.
It's just like Doug is on his own journey now.
Right. And of course, I mean, at least
he's got a gun and a dog, right? No, he didn't have a gun.
No, he didn't. He didn't dare.
And he took a bat. I'm sorry that was a setup.
That was a setup. Yeah, he just had the bat, which
it makes sense, I guess. Leave Brenda and Bobby with the.
Gun True, that is true. Well, he ends up finding the
door to the mine to a very large door.
OK, hold on. I'm not over this yet.
Why would they even stay there? You would want to stay together.
First of all, obviously power numbers also, you're sitting
ducks. They know where you are.
They can see everything you do. Yeah, you got a radio and a gun.
Just stick together. Yeah, like that dude in the
review. We can't do the double dog,
Flink, but we can have one dog. Yeah, one dog on one side, the
gun on the other. Yeah, well, he goes through the
mine door, ends up finding this large cave system.
There's a bunch of old minor mementos.
Beast basically leads him out of The Cave.
And on the other side of that cave is a small town.
Yeah, so The Cave was like just an entrance to another location
or an exit too, Depends which side you're on.
Which way you're going? Yes.
It's really more of just a tunnel.
Than a cave. Now here is where I thought this
freaking radio. I have so many problems with it.
Doug gets on the radio tells Bobby that he like followed this
blood trail or whatever he followed led him to a town.
They don't acknowledge that the the mutants can hear all this.
Well how did Bobby hear this? Oh, so they they must have CB
radio. It is the CB.
It had to been. OK, they must have.
I don't remember him talking about that, but maybe they did
well. But you know what, Bobby?
Never even replies though, because we just hear it, but we
don't see Bobby near it. That rhymed.
You know what I'm saying though? Yeah, good point.
Whatever. Was it a good point?
It's just a point. It's a point.
Whatever. Back at the camp, we got to do
some prep. Now, I'm not sure what they were
really going for here because they didn't talk about it.
Brenda lights a tire on fire. That happens just, I guess, for
warmth and light. Sure, it's sunny out, but
whatever. Bobby then sets up an intricate
tripwire system, culminating with a baby's.
Rattle Well, and they used the fishing line, right?
Yeah. These are these are Doug's
treasures now being put to use. It was like a poor man's home
alone. Right, dude, But it's like,
here's the do you know how much freaking wire you'd have to use
like this? You're in the desert, it's open
360 around you. How much of this wire are you
putting out? Yeah, and I just seemed to me
like they just put it out in the front, like a square in the
front. They didn't really cover the
back either. I don't even know if that is
true. You're right.
That seems ridiculous. And it's like also totally open.
I mean, I guess it's nice to have like a tripwire system, but
what's the purpose? I mean, I don't know to.
Get notified they're there. I guess whatever they end up
loading the bodies of Ethel and Lynn, throw them in the SUV.
That's just going to come into play a little bit later.
And you got to get them out of the RV because I mean, come on,
you don't want dead bodies in there.
All right, let's go back over to Doug and he's at Nuketown.
Yeah, it's just this big open town.
Well, big open town. It's just like little houses
scattered with dirt everywhere. Well, it's like the typical
nuclear bomb site. The fake houses with mannequin.
There's mannequins. Oh yeah, mannequins are
everywhere. You're right, it is a Newtown.
That is what it is. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Absolutely. Eventually, he finds a house
with a generator, looks in the window, and hey, there's baby
Catherine. Right there, just chilling.
Only problem is syscom's. Strolling out of the house.
I like how you use their names. I know, I looked them all.
Up. Yeah, it's pretty good.
So Cyst, it looks like he's been through a lot.
He's got one of those contraptions like he hurt his
neck. Headgear, I would say, and I
think he has leprosy. He's got a lot of red lesions on
him. So he was dragging a body,
right? I dude, I don't know.
There seem to be a lot of bodies being drug around.
I couldn't like figure out who they really were.
I don't know if they were part of this whole thing or if they
were like just randoms. Yeah, you're right.
I'm like, wait, are these like bodies they took from, you know,
one of their family members that they killed or what?
I don't know. Oh, you mean the the family?
Our family we're following. Yeah, yeah.
Either way, Sis has headgear and he has a shotgun.
Yeah, so he's strapped up. So Doug ends up hiding in a car,
kind of evades the dude like he heard a noise so he had to hide.
No, he does something interesting.
He locks Beast in the car and decides to go.
Without him, Well, I think he's going for stealth mode now.
Go in, grab the baby, get out. OK, Yeah, that's that's probably
true. Yeah, I think think that's what
it was. Doug enters the house when he
finds Big Mama watching some divorce court.
Big. It's just a large woman.
That is her name. Oh, OK, because you've used Big
Mama before. I have for a big and she is a
Big Mama. Now, the issue or the thing I'd
like to address here, this is mutants, right?
I I think so. This one's just fat and bald.
That was her mutation. That's that's big momma's
mutation normal actually, lady who's bald, that's large, just a
slow metabolism. All I got to say is the big moms
out there. I'm offended, as you would be.
She have our big mods. Well, she doesn't even seem to
notice him though he kind of like sneaks behind, picks up the
baby, goes for the door. But she did notice him 'cause he
gets ambushed, whacked over the head.
We don't really see what happens.
He's just out. Cold.
Yeah, just a quick cutscene and boom, he's gone.
Or is he gone 'cause he wakes up and he's in a pile of body
parts? Yeah, dude, what a horrible spot
to be in 'cause he's trapped in a freezer.
Is that what this is? Yeah, it's like one of those,
like I forget what they're called, the long freezers that
are on the ground. Yeah, and there's body part,
it's in there and they're fresh, right?
There's blood everywhere. It is disgusting.
You imagine how bad that would smell.
Do you know what we watched? We just went over The Descent.
This made me more claustrophobic than The Descent did.
Well, yeah, 'cause you're stuck in a freezer.
Well, yeah, with body parts. Yeah, so it kind of makes sense.
In the Descent they they were stuck, but in a giant cave,
caved in. I mean, both of them are pretty,
you know, claustrophobic inducing.
Anyways, he's able to actually get out.
He kicks a hole in the top or busted open.
Either way, he's out of there. At the same time, Beast, who's
trapped in the car, also finds a little hole and climbs out.
Clever little doggy. Why did they keep him alive?
The dog? No, Doug.
What do you mean why'd they keep him alive?
Why wouldn't they just kill? Him.
Oh, you mean the family? Yeah.
I don't know, actually, that's a good point.
Now when Doug gets out, it seems like he's kind of alone and he's
just kind of like searching around.
And you may be thinking like, hey, these hillbilly people or
these munes, these guys are all monsters, right of.
Course. Horrible people, no redeeming
qualities, Absolutely none. But they are patriotic.
Because as he walks around, he finds a flag buried in someone's
head. Well, isn't that patriotic
though? Or is it like an FU to the flag?
I don't know, but he starts hearing someone sing the Star
Spangled Banner. Oh, it's true.
This beautiful creature. This beautiful creature.
And the guy's having a hard time saying there's a lot of wheezing
going on in between the words. It's pretty clear he's got some
medical problems. And that's when we meet Big
Brain. Where is she?
Answer me. I don't know where she is.
I never leave this place. That's his name.
Oh, that's fitting.
It is a giant, disgusting mutant whose head is so big that it's
flowing over the chair. Yeah, it's a giant.
It's like 5 times the size of a normal head.
Yeah, I mean, the face is the same.
It's the head. I called him Megamind before I
knew his name was Big Brain. Yeah, but even that head is
doesn't do it justice. I mean, this is a gigantic head.
Well Big Brain gives us some lore.
He explains that he never leaves this place and your people asked
them to all leave the town. They destroyed our homes.
They went into the mine. Are these people went in the
munes, went into the mines, bombs went off, turned
everything to ash. Basically it's the same story.
The government turned them all into munes and the normal people
are seen as part of that. Yeah, so that's why they have no
problem killing us normies, right?
Yeah, and I guess they just eat for fun of it.
Why not? I mean, they got nothing else to
do I guess. There's no food there.
I don't know. Well, Doug's hurt enough.
He gets tired of this, raises up his bed and that's when Big
Brain looks at him and says it's breakfast time.
Which is weird because I'm like, what does he mean?
And by the way, we got to say this guy's not moving.
He's in the chair. He can't move.
Yeah, he's. He said he never leaves this
place. Yeah.
At that moment Pluto does his best leather face I would say,
and just explodes through the door with an axe.
You know, it actually reminded me of Jason Voorhees.
There's just the size and plus he's carrying an axe breakfast.
Again, explodes through the door.
Is about to take Doug out, then Beast returns, bites his arm.
Doug sees his break, grabs his bat, runs to the bathroom.
Pause real quick. I had a problem with that
because our poor dog doing all the work and Doug just leaves
him. I'm like, hey, you could have a
two on one situation, what are you going to wait?
This is your time to strike. Yeah, plus you don't want to
leave the poor dog. Like help your dog.
I totally agree. But that wasn't really his dog
though was. It it wasn't so he's barricaded
in the bathroom. Problem with this is that Pluto
can just walk through walls. Yeah, 'cause you're watching the
bathroom door, like, how's he going to get through?
Boom, wall explodes. Pluto's in there with him.
We did see he is very strong. Yeah, he just, I mean, he can
explode stuff. So he grabs Doug by the neck,
throws him to the floor. Pluto like swings the axe, chops
that in half. Doug takes the half, stuffs in
the stomach. Boom, and you're like, wow, he
got him. But you knew though, you knew
that wasn't going to be a death blow 'cause this guy's like way.
Too strong. Way too strong.
Pluto pulls it out. Kind of smiles, right?
Like that didn't work. Yeah, he enjoyed it.
It didn't even bother him. Takes it, slaps Doug across the
face, and then he ends up linebacker tackling him through
a wall. That was cool.
Just a nice little fight sequence here.
Throws him through a window, chops his fingers off.
He does all this stuff. OK, well, the fingers is brutal
because Doug got his fingers down.
That axe went right through him. That would have hurt.
No, I would say everything would have hurt.
You know what would hurt more? Your toes getting chopped off
our fingers. Kind of like the toes would hurt
more. I think the toes because then
you have to. Walk still like your fingers
chopped off. You just don't, don't use that
hand. This whole scene ends up with
Pluto standing over Doug. He's about to execute him.
He's got like his axe to his head.
Well, and it seemed like Doug had given up at this point.
He's just sitting there, he's exhausted.
He has had such a big fight and there's just no hope.
That's when he spots the. Screwdriver picks it up and
Pluto looks at him and just starts laughing.
Oh God. Well, he just laughed.
I thought that was he was like almost.
It was comical, like you're going to try to Take Me Out with
the screwdriver. Yeah, he didn't respect him at
all. Yeah, to this, Doug takes said
screwdriver, buries it into his toe.
Now Pluto kind of like like bends over yelling, screaming
about this. Hey, like I said, that would
hurt your toes chopped off. I I forgot that even happened.
Doug gets up. Remember, that American flag is
buried in that dude's head. Yeah, God Bless America, Doug.
Pulls it out, stabs it through Pluto's neck, then picks up
Pluto's axe, buries it into his head.
I thought it was awesome. I like this sequence.
It was pretty cool. So did I, I thought that was
pretty good. Yeah, I mean, you just didn't
think Doug had a chance. And, man, he just turned it on.
Like, man, this Doug's kind of a beast.
Well, now he's got he's got the taste of blood.
Well, yeah, he's got blood all over him.
Probably right. I mean, I think he's in a blood
fury because he's not done, because he sets his sights on
Cyst. Yeah, that little rat.
So Doug goes behind the car. Oh.
Wait, Oh, you're talking about the guy that's outside?
Yeah. So whatever happened to the guy
in the chair? Bring.
Oh my gosh, you're about to find out.
Oh, now I remember. That's what I got mixed up with.
OK. All right, so Doug took Pluto
out, now he's going to take Cyst out.
He goes out by the car, catches him lacking X to the knee, then
overhead chop to the back man solid.
Cyst is dead. By the way, you know who's
played Cyst? No, Greg Nicotero.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Oh, that's funny. I didn't recognize him.
Well, would you? I feel like I only know him
looking one way with like long. Hair.
I don't think you have any idea what he looks like.
To be honest, I'm not sure I do. No.
You know what I'm thinking of. The other guy.
You're thinking the guy in Dusk Till Don.
What's his name? So Tom Savini.
Savini. Yeah, you're right.
Anyways, we'll get to the trivia.
For now, Cyst is on the ground. OK, I don't know if I said he
was dead, but actually Cyst isn't dead at all.
I think you did, but I feel like we already concluded.
It but we're back. He's not dead.
Yeah, yeah, it just hurt. And that's when Doug decides to
add a little flair. And I did like this part.
Doug's got the axe. The problem is, so this axe, you
got the axe and right, the sharpen, and then there's the
pick on the back, right? Doug takes the axe, flips it so
the pick is now facing cyst, and then he buries it in his head.
Yeah, it was. Graphic cool.
These guys all deserve to die, so I support it.
Now Doug does a swap out, takes the shotgun.
All right, let's get to the part that you forgot about and
confused with another scene. Big brain, He gets on the video
and he goes, hey, kill that baby.
Oh man, I'm like oh, I hope this guy gets it.
And that's when Beast arrives. The real hero of the movie,
honestly doing all the work. Seriously.
And we don't get to see it, but apparently Beast is hungry for
some brains because we just hear Beasts ripping him apart.
Kill the baby. Yeah, I think it's fair to say
that Beasts just destroyed that, that man or boy, whatever the
heck it was. The brain guy.
So now really almost all the bad monsters are gone.
Well, they're mutants. Whatever.
Well, almost all of them. But one that's not as Ruby, the
one we like, and she's with the baby.
But that's when you see Lizard is with her.
He pushes her out of the way because he got that radio call.
He's ready to cleaver this baby. But before he swings that thing
down, he realizes it's no baby at all.
It's a little piggy. It's a little pig.
The likey because they did show a pig earlier, which I'm like,
oh, they got a little pig. But yeah, This is why they had
it. Why were they going to kill the
baby anyways? Or why'd they even take the
baby? I, I don't whatever who knows
either. They're just trying to be mean
at this point. That's one scene that's
happening. There's another scene where Doug
actually finds another baby crib and I don't even know if they
found they were had a crib. Either way, he finds a baby
crib, pulls the sheep back. There's no baby though.
It's a doll. We thought Doug was near the
baby. It was a fake out.
I guess it was kind of a weird fake out because like, they both
seemed close to the baby, but neither the room are close to a
baby. Either way, it's a doll with him
and then a little mutant girl says Mr. Will you play with us?
Yeah. Which is I'm like, oh, this
poor, poor girl. Her old family's death.
Well, it gets worse because Doug takes that shoddy, puts it to
her head. Boom.
What are you talking? About no, that didn't nothing.
That'd be so harsh. Like you saw a different version
nowadays that wouldn't have been kind of funny.
I wouldn't. Oh my.
Gosh, that might have been too much.
Doug ends up leaving the house, spots Ruby running through the
mountain. He's chasing after her.
We'll get to that. For now, let's cut back to Bobby
and Brenda. They're a little tripwire
system. It works.
It goes off. Bobby gets the gun, they go to
find out what tripped the wire, only to find a tumbleweed.
Yeah, so it seemed like a fake out, like.
OK, nothing's nearer, but when they run back to the Suburban.
Ethel is missing and so as we know, they like to steal the
bodies. That was a quick steal too.
I feel like it was like right behind them.
So they must have found the tripwire.
Are more than likely they just came up the area that there was
no tripwire. Yeah, who cares about the
tripwire and just snatched a body.
Bobby isn't going to let this go, though.
He's going to follow this blood trail and take care of some
business. One would think he would.
So he does. He goes up in the mountain and
that's where he finds the trench coat dude, who I think is Papa
Jupiter, the dude from the car. OK, so he spots him.
Unfortunately, Bobby Bobby isn't ready for this moment.
This was just just frustrating to watch honestly because it's
like this guy isn't even paying attention.
He's eating. Bobby alerts him and then just
starts sprinting and just panicking running away like
tripping and falling. It's like bro, get it together.
Dude, he's running, he has a gun and he's he's not even looking.
He's just shooting at like random, just wasting ammo.
Yeah, just dumb. So we got that going on back in
the trailer. Brenda decides now to make a
bomb, opens propane tanks in the trailer with her.
I got the vibe that this was maybe their plan, like once they
got alerted they were going to just blow everything up.
You know what would have been like a lot better of a?
Plan is Bobby just kills the guy with the gun.
Yeah, I know this was kind of ridiculous.
Instead, Bobby runs into the trailer with her.
This trailer is being filled with gas.
Like at this moment, absolutely trench coat dude.
Instead of like just going for the door, just like bust through
the window. Somehow they're able to bind his
hands to where he's like handcuffed to the window.
They run away. Trailer explodes.
No, well, wait, that's not what happened.
What happened then? He didn't he he got his hands
unbound and then didn't he open the front door 'cause there was
the matches they had the little. Contrast This was so stupid.
You're right. OK, he he did give free.
You're right. He got free as they were running
away. This is the most convoluted,
just overdone plan I've ever seen.
Yeah, they had matches set up and whatever he opened like,
slid across them, lit them, ignited the gas.
Yeah, I think it was like the front door something.
He had to slide it open and boom, that's how he explodes.
That was a lot. Yeah.
Again, we could have just shot him.
That would have been good, too. Or just find a creative way for
them to, like, get justice on him.
I don't like the explosion. It's not personal, you know what
I'm saying? Oh, and it actually didn't
really kill him. He was badly injured, though.
Oh, is he not fully dead? I think he has one last little.
Yeah, he's he's alive. He's alive.
Barely back to Doug. He ends up catching up to Ruby
and the baby. She's ready to give him over
like, or the baby over again. She wants to help them.
She's a nice mutant. But before she can hand him the
baby, the Lizard King comes flying off the top ropes.
He did. He jumped from above.
Yeah. Yeah.
Now we got us a fight scene. Lizard knocks him out with a
spike strip. I did like it.
He was using it. It was like a whip, right?
Yeah. He like, what?
Shit. You need a Jones or something?
It was dumb. He ends up knocking him out or
dugout. And then Ruby takes off with a
baby. Doug wakes up like a second
later, sees them running, follows after him, ends up
catching up to Lizard Gun, butts him in the face, blows a hole in
the stomach and one to the neck. I'm like, oh, awesome, right
Justice. I can't wait for this guy to
die. Except for we all know, like
it's, you know, he didn't finish him off.
And not only that sounds weird, but he's just like standing over
the body kind of kicking it. Then he drops the shotgun at his
feet. Instead of just giving the last
shot to where, you know, like this guy, you need to see him
die, like you need to do that instead.
Yeah, He drops the shotgun right next to the dude, turns around,
gets baby Catherine. Yeah.
The only thing I could say that would justify his actions is
like, Doug's been through a lot, he's exhausted, maybe he wasn't
thinking straight. It just seems like an incredibly
stupid thing like that no one would ever do.
Well, we obviously know where this is going.
He's got the baby behind him. Lizard has arisen and he also
notices the shotgun. So he picks that up, starts
statement of Doug Ruby, sees this happening, runs straight at
him, tackles him off the Cliff. I guess they both die.
We don't see what happens. Well, I thought maybe she would
have done that thing where she used his body right where she
landed on top so he took most of the brunt of the fall.
Maybe that could have happened and she survived.
I don't know that that happened, though.
We. Never see her again.
I think there is a Part 2. Maybe she's alive.
I hope so, because, yeah, poor Ruby.
She had a nice little arc. I mean, that was nice that she
did that for them. It was a beautiful moment.
Yeah. I mean, I honestly, I wanted.
I wanted more justice. I guess that was nice that one
of their own killed him. But man, I hated.
That guy, he deserves some real bad stuff.
Yeah, actually he would have been a good one to watch the dog
tear him up. Yeah, that would have been good.
For sure either way, Brenda and Bobby now again they're the
trailer explode. They find the trench coat dude.
He's all charred up. Brenda Berry's an axe in his
head, so now he's dead. So.
That was a nice rhyme. Thank you.
Doug returns with Catherine and Beast and that's the end of the
movie that. Was wild man, that was a lot
it's. Kind of a lot to process.
I mean, it's cool. I like what they set up.
I'm not going to go into the rating now.
So yeah, well, you are. This is the rating and back.
I'm here, man. Like I said, it's not a pun,
it's not a pleasant story at all.
It's pretty brutal. But I love the revenge aspect of
the whole thing. Like they really made me hate
these characters and want the mutants to die.
Not all of them. I like Ruby, but the bad ones.
So I mean in that way it really. Worked.
Yeah, I would say this movie. I mean, usually you give a
rating, but I'm going to jump in here for a second.
I like, I like a little back and forth before I drop a score.
It's brutal. I think it's disturbing.
I mean, there was some those that trailer scene was gnarly.
I mean, there was some really touching moments, like the dogs,
you know, you. Really.
That really sat with you didn't. They they did like that the
dogs, Ruby tackling the lizard off the hill.
There was some interesting stuff, but mostly disturbing.
Very disturbing. Yeah, you did care.
You're right. You did care for Ruby.
I liked her. It was sad to see her go.
And yeah, even the family. I liked the characters.
I mean, Bobby was whatever. That guy sucked.
But I like Doug and and Brenda seemed cool I guess.
I mean, my favorite part is like Doug's arc, that he kind of was
like a douche at 1st and then you up like him and he took it
to the mutants. Yeah, He was like a savage for
sure. Yeah.
So let's go ahead and give a score of the movie.
Yeah, I liked it. It was good.
It was a fun kind of horror movie.
I wouldn't say it was scary. It was more like revenge arced.
It was revenge horror. Revenge arced.
I'm taking that out. It was like a revenge horror
movie, right? I wouldn't say any of it was
really scary, except for, you know what, at night when they
attacked. That was kind of scary.
It was more disturbing. It was disturbing.
I'd agree with that. Yeah.
Anyways, I liked it. I thought it was fun.
I'm going to give it like a 6.7. Nah 6.5 all.
Right, I was going 7.2 all. Right, that's good.
All right, we'll make it quick and easier.
Yeah, let's move on to some survival rules and then we'll do
some trivia. One, stay on the main roadway.
Let's not do these paths that are a dirt path through the
desert. Just a bad idea.
Yeah, that never works. Well, it works for the bad guys.
Conserve your ammo, don't just shoot randomly at stuff.
I mean there was so many bullets shot at nothing.
Another one stick together again.
I got to be honest, that review guy had this thing dialed.
They need to do what he said. Yeah, but not as fun of a movie.
Yeah, true. When getting into strangers
vehicles, just check the backseat.
Well, I mean, even when you get in your own vehicle, I think I
always kind of look just to see if you're in a situation in a
strange land and you don't know who's around, just look in the
back. Yeah, absolutely.
You don't even know where you're hearing those voices from.
You would assume maybe they're in the back seat.
You got to just protect your neck.
Did this guy throw his voice? Though Ventriloquist.
Yeah, like how did he? Even get in the back seat.
F and who cares? Last one.
Watch where you're running. If you're sprinting on a
cliffside, just be careful. Maybe take a peek before you
take a step. All right, let's get to some
trivia. The gas station was built on
location in Morocco. That's where it was filmed.
Cool. It was so authentic that
occasionally someone not even involved in production would
stop by to buy gas. That's pretty cool.
Mutants were created by CGI. Physical effects are both.
That's kind of interesting. So I didn't even notice CGI.
Yeah. They must have done a good job,
because I didn't notice it at all.
It was all practical. Yeah.
Ruby was actually a mixture of the two, using tracking dots for
distortion and prosthetic teeth. Oh, interesting.
Yeah, she didn't even look that mutiny.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The CGI, like, they didn't look
like crazy. They looked very, I don't know,
like I could make those practical.
You could make those. I mean, I couldn't.
I'm just saying like a normal person, like a someone who was
in that field at that time. All right, whatever, man.
They did a good job with the CGI.
They didn't overuse it, which is good.
Almost all Big Bob's actions and lines were improvised.
OK, that's cool. Well, he did a good job.
Yeah, he see, I mean, his voice is good.
He's just got a great voice. Yeah.
Great voice, great character. Greg Nicotero was featured as
Cyst, the mutant with Halo headgear.
Yeah, cool. We went through it.
But not Tom Savini. Not Tom Savini.
Definitely not. There was allegedly great
difficulty shooting the scene where the gun was pointed at the
baby. Not because the baby was scared,
but because the baby wanted to play with a gun.
Oh, that's disturbing. Maybe a future serial killer on
her hands it. Just makes me think like would
you ever let your baby be in a movie like.
This. What do you think baby
Catherine's doing now? Gosh, she probably alright.
She probably is. No.
This is in when? 2006.
Oh, you're right. Yeah, we're not that young.
Not even close. That is interesting, though.
Who knows? Shut up, baby.
Catherine. Now grown up Catherine.
Yeah. Bobby's handgun is a Beretta
Cougar 8045 and Bob's revolver is a Taurus Model 66.
Just for you getting guys or gals.
Whatever. Don't care.
Originally the trailer attack scene was supposed to be more
gruesome. Wow.
Apparently the director had an idea of replacing the birds with
kittens and having the mutants put the kittens in a blender
with milk, turn it on and drink it.
Dude, I got to say, that would have been so shocking.
It would have been a moment. That, I agree, is too far, and
Wes Craven agreed. He was like, Nah, that ain't
happening. I don't know though, because it
might have been one of those scenes.
Like dude, did you see what happened to that movie?
Dude, but it's all who's taking kittens in a trailer, you know
what I mean? Like you can.
I don't even know why birds were in the trailer.
I only remember in that shot they were in a cage.
We're travelling to California. This isn't like the Dust Bowl or
something where you've packed up all your stuff.
Yeah, why would you take a bird with you, dude?
Can't they live forever or just on nothing?
I mean, why? Yeah, you're on a vacation.
You don't want to take, like, all your pets.
Well, I mean, I guess you kind of have to if you have no one to
feed the pet, though. Like legit, right?
Maybe there would be kids in there.
It's a bad idea. It's a lot.
That's a lot. Whatever.
Whatever, let's move on to the end.
Yeah, this is the end. Before we go, got a shout out to
