Mom’s got a Date with a Vampire
Andrew: All right, I'm coming.
RJ: You ready, then?
Cas: Are we good?
Andrew: I just hit record, and you said.
RJ: That oh, my that's Danish statement right there.
Andrew: Oh, yeah.
RJ: All right. You are now listening to the backseat critics.
Andrew: The movie review podcast.
RJ: Welcome back to the back secrets. My name is RJ.
Andrew: My name is Andrew. And this is the podcast where we review movies that you should generally steer clear of. And this week, we have a guest.
Speaker D: Hello. Thank you for having me on.
RJ: He's kind of a return in know, semi.
Speaker D: I was part of a larger broadcast, previously, of a very bad movie.
RJ: And we did a crossover. We did a crossover that was also.
Speaker D: For a holiday movie.
RJ: Actually done two crossovers with him.
Speaker D: Yeah, I had you guys on my podcast, Switching Stances, which is semi, in the grave.
RJ: Semi m in the grave.
Speaker D: Logistically, it's just been a nightmare work and stuff. Anyways, but thank you for having me back on.
Andrew: Yeah, no, thank you for coming back on. for those who don't know, this is Koss.
Speaker D: Yeah, I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Koss. you might know me from play. No games, podcast. A slightly more popular podcast than this one. Just slightly.
Andrew: Oh, yeah.
Speaker D: not slightly.
Andrew: Definitely more.
RJ: You know what? You say that, but our rookie numbers are better than Play No Games rookies numbers.
Speaker D: Let me tell you, your numbers are much better than, Switching Stances, and that is that. But thank, you for having back on, guys.
Andrew: Yeah, no, happy to have you. for those who don't know, we were on the Switching Stances podcast, but we were also on The Plano Games, crossover, where we talked about Babes and Toyland Keanu Reese, which we will not be revisiting tonight.
RJ: Why not?
Andrew: Because we're talking about our mom had a date with a vampire.
RJ: Okay, we got to talk about something.
Speaker D: Mom's going to say mom.
RJ: All of a sudden, this just got awkward.
Andrew: My mom's married to a vampire. All right, so we're going to kind of dive into some news topics and then hit that. we're going to do 1 minute summary this time. And you two minute summary. We don't have the patience for two minutes.
RJ: We cut that down.
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: When did you guys cut that down?
RJ: For a second there, we did 30 seconds.
Andrew: Yeah, we did 30 seconds.
Speaker D: You guys haven't been the same since, five nights at Freddy's, huh? You have shell shots that broke the system.
Andrew: We're shaking. We're gathering them in. We're looking at the soldiers, and it's not looking good.
Speaker D: I'm dead.
RJ: That's five nights at Fredie killed us. We watched that, and we're like, what is going on?
Andrew: I was half asleep.
Speaker D: nothing better than computer game. Computer game movies, actually.
Andrew: We need more.
RJ: An android game. It was like a computer game.
Speaker D: It was literally like a mini clip game.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: Start on PC.
Cas: Really?
RJ: I thought I said on android.
Speaker D: It's like a steam game. A free steam game.
Andrew: Yeah.
Cas: Really?
Speaker D: Just like slenderman and CSGO.
RJ: Because I see it on my phone all the time and that's how I know kids.
Speaker D: when I work, I feel like.
RJ: There is what's that?
Speaker D: I think there has to be a Counterstrike movie.
Andrew: Was that saving Private Ryan?
Speaker D: Saving Private Ryan. Blackhawk Down, Hacksaw Ridge.
RJ: That's, like, mental of honor.
Speaker D: More inglorious bastards.
Andrew: No, but this reminds me of future episode Doom.
RJ: I love Doom.
Speaker D: EW.
Andrew: I love video game movies.
RJ: That's all we're going to do.
Speaker D: Have you guys seen the Mario movie?
RJ: Yes. You know what? We kind of reviewed it.
Andrew: Wait, we did? Both oh, yeah, we did.
Cas: Is it worth a watch?
Speaker D: It's on Peacock and it's which one? The new one. I don't want to watch the old one.
RJ: Okay? Have you watched it?
Speaker D: I've seen enough.
Cas: You haven't seen enough.
Speaker D: If you haven't watched all the I heard the new one. It looks like a really cute out.
RJ: Stop it. It's good.
Andrew: Yeah, the old one's good.
RJ: The old one's good. The old one is worth a watch.
Andrew: It's worth a watch. The old one is worth a watch because there's Bob Ah haskins it was shot in Warehouse in, like, New Jersey or something. But also M. They also used a lot of, CG and special effects software for the first time in that movie that is now industry standard across Hollywood. So that was kind of like, kind of the first place that was used. So it's kind of interesting to see how that's aged. But the new one, it's fine.
RJ: You know what?
Andrew: It's totally fine. And has Chris Pratt playing Mario, which is weird. The old one, which is weird.
RJ: I want to throw it out there.
Andrew: And, Charlie Day as Luigi. I still have trouble seeing it. I, still have trouble with that. But it's fine.
Cas: Okay.
Andrew: It's fine.
RJ: The old one, it's hard to find it anywhere to watch. I believe it like, unless you have it on DVD.
Speaker D: I feel like a lot of these video game movies get thrown in the bin virtually, too.
RJ: It's hard to find a lot of video game movies. You can watch it somewhere to find on a streaming site. you can't do that on the old one. You can't find it on a streaming site anywhere.
Andrew: Archive.org. When we tried to watch Archive.org, I believe so, yeah.
RJ: We had to pass around a DVD to watch it.
Andrew: that is not legal advice or anything.
Cas: If you happen to find it there.
Speaker D: Or something, everyone go to Stream East.
RJ: We just got banned.
Andrew: Damn.
RJ: Okay, we got Fly, our podcast, pirates Booty. Pirate Bay. Pirate Bay. Back in the day, remember?
Speaker D: One, two, three. Movie I got caught the, Put Locker.
RJ: Yeah, I got caught in how'd you get caught. Comcast. If you watch some people, I guess, decide to let comcast know, like some bands or something. So when you try to download music or a movie, they alert comcast on your website back in the day. And then comcast goes, hey, you've been illegally downloading movies. If you don't delete it, we will, report you.
Cas: Whoa. Yeah.
Speaker D: Well, that's why you don't download it.
Cas: Yeah.
RJ: What?
Speaker D: You don't download it? I don't pull lucky. You just watch it like a YouTube video.
RJ: I had a ton of movies.
Speaker D: You downloaded them?
RJ: Oh, yeah.
Andrew: Back in the day.
RJ: I learned how to fight things back in the day. Viruses because of it.
Andrew: Anyway, there's a whole chunk here I'm going to have to cut out. Thank you.
Speaker D: Okay, let's get back to, mom's.
RJ: Got a day with the vampire, huh?
Speaker D: Are we doing news first?
Andrew: Yeah, we're doing news first.
Cas: Okay.
Andrew: Why don't you hit your topic?
Speaker D: Yeah, so I want to talk to the Disney experts about this. so Disney has now fully acquired the remaining stake of Hulu for about $8.6 billion billion with a B. and I guess I just wanted to I know RJ. Big Disney fanatic over here.
RJ: Oh, yes, sir.
Speaker D: I know Disney's been kind of struggling the last year or so financially as well. But I think more just in the view or, how they're perceived in society. Is this a win for you or is this a non factor?
RJ: To me, this is a non factor. You already have Disney Plus. Most of what you need from Disney Plus or what's going to hit the crowd, their target audience is on Disney Plus.
Andrew: Hulu.
RJ: You're targeting people you don't even need, I guess. Unless they're trying to draw an adult audience, I guess.
Andrew: See, so no, I had this idea back in 2019 when Disney bought Fox and, fox Entertainment owned majority of Hulu. my thought was that Hulu was going to become kind of the stomping grounds for kind of adult entertainment that was owned by Disney.
Cas: Stuff.
Andrew: Like, deadpool stuff. always sunny. Yeah. Always sunny. Just like anything like that that was aimed at an older audience that wouldn't really fit into that know, Disney princess kind of atmosphere.
RJ: Don't they have the adult Disney Plus mhm?
Andrew: They do, but not to like.
Cas: I.
RJ: Thought you can put parental controls on Disney Plus.
Andrew: You can, but I think they're wanting to split up a bit more.
Speaker D: And also, there's not really a lot of great adult options on Disney Plus. No, I've never subscribed to it. But I've had a buddy who I was able to use his account and I had it on my TV. And I just found myself not really going on there.
RJ: Disney plus.
Andrew: I see 100% well, we 100% condone password sharing over here at Backseat Critics.
Speaker D: There you go. But it's like, outside of, like, the Mandalorian and the Star Wars stuff. I really didn't have anything else to watch on Disney Plus.
RJ: You grew up in a different area than us. That's probably why. Because if you went back and watched it, I mean, you have recess, you have Doug, you have the whoa.
Andrew: He's, like, five years younger.
RJ: Yeah, but he grew up in it.
Andrew: I wouldn't say that's. A different era.
RJ: It's 100% different era. He's a different generation.
Speaker D: I am a Gen z. I am a Zoomer. And for me, for example, when I think of childhood shows, it's more Cartoon Network for me. See, it's codename. Kids next door. It's Billy and Mandy. and those were the better shows.
RJ: Growing up for his generation. They were 100% the better shows.
Speaker D: When I think of Disney Channel as a kid, I think more of the live action stuff like Hannah Montana, like, Sweet Life of Zach and Cody. to a degree, maybe. I actually think Cartoon Network shows are better than anything Disney's made.
RJ: I disagree.
Speaker D: For the channel.
Cas: For the channel.
Andrew: RJ, as someone in your generation, I agree with costs.
RJ: No. You're Adventure Time. regular show. Twin Peaks.
Andrew: Twin Peaks.
Speaker D: Not Twin Peaks. What's the other one? It's like a rip off of Twin.
RJ: Peaks, but the cartoon oh, Gravity Falls.
Speaker D: Gravity Falls. Yeah. That was, like, towards the end I caught right at the end of that.
Andrew: Gravity Falls is solid.
Speaker D: Is it?
RJ: Yeah, it is 100% Disney.
Speaker D: Oh, yeah, whatever.
Cas: It sucks.
Speaker D: Then,
Cas: For me?
Speaker D: Yeah. I look at those old shows on Disney Plus, and I'm like, literally.
RJ: you watched the Mighty Ducks TV show?
Speaker D: No. EW.
Andrew: There's Gargoyles.
RJ: Yes. Oh, my goodness.
Andrew: Jesus.
Speaker D: I watched Lucky. The Irish. First thing I did when I got my buddy's, Disney login password, I watched Lucky. The Irish said, this is why we.
RJ: Have a different generation.
Speaker D: I said, I'm good. I don't need anything else from, Disney Plus. No, I don't even rewatch old cartoons.
RJ: I don't know. They're 100%. Okay, we're going to go to the live action shows, right?
Cas: Okay.
RJ: Smart guy, huh? Yeah, exactly.
RJ: Great, show.
Andrew: I'm from the same generation as you, RJ. Smart Guy. No idea what you're talking about, family.
RJ: We watch Smart Guy every night.
Speaker D: Sorry, man. I watch HBO. Max.
RJ: Boy Meets World.
Speaker D: that show stinks.
RJ: Oh, get out of here.
Speaker D: Talking about Girl Meets World?
Andrew: No, that show stinks.
RJ: No, I'm talking about Boy Meets World. Boy Meets World.
Speaker D: The original house. Are you going to say that?
RJ: No, we are skipping over that. Boy Meets World.
Andrew: Boy Meets World. Great show.
Speaker D: okay, here. You know better than me is even Steven on Disney Plus.
RJ: Yes.
Speaker D: All hard. I'd watch even Steven 100%.
RJ: I watched the whole series of it. And the movie.
Speaker D: The movie's funny.
Andrew: Worth it.
Speaker D: But did you watch the proud family growing up on Disney Plus? Would you watch that? would you watch that today?
RJ: Eventually.
Speaker D: Eventually, eventually.
RJ: That means I got some other things I need to watch. Some Wheel of Time I need to.
Speaker D: Watch see, but that's like I don't know. I see no value in watching that, though.
Cas: Chucky.
RJ: I need to watch Chucky. I'm getting onto that.
Speaker D: For me, it's like if I watch a show, I'd rather it be something I haven't watched before. That's going to make me feel, a specific way. Not nostalgia. Like, I want to like a new experience, you know?
RJ: That nostalgia was great during COVID Okay, fair enough. When you had time to burn is great.
Speaker D: When you had time to fair enough. But now it's like, I don't have time to burn. So if I watch something I'm very meticulous about what I watch, it has to be above an 8.0 on IMDb. It has to be, like, a season. Plus, if it's just a season, that's fine. If it's more, if I'm waiting for.
RJ: A new season of a show to.
Andrew: Pop out Netflix, it's got to be over four seasons because they'll cancel anything under.
Speaker D: That's a good point.
RJ: I don't mind popping on, like, tailspin or something really quick if it's just, like, really quick if I have nothing.
Speaker D: Okay. This is where that generational gap comes between us. If I got an hour to kill.
RJ: Oh, no, not an hour. Let's just say you woke up in the morning, you're working on TV show. You're all caught up on all your TV shows that you like to catch up.
Cas: Right? Okay.
RJ: You have about a half hour before you got to go to work.
Cas: Okay.
Speaker D: YouTube?
Andrew: Yep.
RJ: You watch YouTube?
Speaker D: I watch more YouTube than any TV show ever.
RJ: Wow. I plug on a TV show that I've watched in the past. Or Car.
Speaker D: No, because for me, when I watch TV, I have to be fully engaged.
RJ: Really?
Speaker D: For me, television, movies, I'm fully engaged. I don't even look at my phone because it's a plot. It's written out. I can tell. It's, like, the way it's done, and I want to be into it. YouTube is I'll put an hour long YouTube video or a podcast while I play video games, or if I have 30 minutes to kill or anything like that. That's what YouTube is for. I will have a YouTube video playing while I work at my desk.
RJ: I guess your YouTube is my, nostalgic, I think.
Speaker D: Yeah, I think that explains it.
RJ: Yeah. Background noise.
Speaker D: Background noise.
RJ: All right, we got, one more.
Speaker D: Andrew, who's right.
Andrew: I mean, I'm, like, split between you because I do watch more. I do ask you who's right.
Speaker D: We just made an agreement.
RJ: Get out of here.
Speaker D: I just want to hear opinion. If you're folding laundry, are you putting on a show or are you putting on a YouTube video on your I'm.
Andrew: Throwing on the YouTube video, exactly.
RJ: From your feed, right?
Andrew: Yeah, I'm throwing, like, tested or something like that.
Speaker D: Tested like me. Tell me why Amelia Earhart crashed your plane.
RJ: Like, that type of video.
Andrew: I want to learn some random facts.
Speaker D: Or what's the first class on St. Jemima's?
Andrew: Dance or whatever it is. Like that disease that made people dance back in the 14 hundreds. I want to learn about that stuff. Okay. While I'm folding my laundry, I want to watch Doug. I love Seinfeld.
RJ: Manny.
Andrew: I don't need to see Seinfeld for the 400th time while I'm folding.
Speaker D: Exactly.
RJ: Yes, I do.
Speaker D: can we get back to the Hulu?
Speaker D: So for you, it's a non factor. RJ it's a non factor, but $8.6.
RJ: Billion is they are trying to monopolize things.
Speaker D: I don't know. I will say this as someone who doesn't have a Disney Plus subscription. Doesn't have a Hulu subscription. because I have cable. If I could get a Disney bundle now with Hulu, I know you can already get it with Hulu included, but if there's a better one or if they merged Disney Plus with Hulu into One Price or one app, I would be more inclined to get that.
Andrew: Then if they moved Disney Plus's content.
Speaker D: Into Hulu or Hulu into Disney Plus.
Andrew: And just had them as separate things, I'm game.
Speaker D: Yeah. Because I do think Hulu is between Disney Plus and Hulu. Hulu is by far the better service.
Andrew: Yeah. It's easier to navigate sports.
Speaker D: You have up to date, like cable television. That is the premium.
Andrew: If you pay for HBO, Max, you get all that content within Hulu so you don't have to ever leave, which is kind of nice.
Speaker D: What do you mean? I have Max? What do I get?
Andrew: So if you pay through as, like, an add on through Hulu, you actually get to oh, through have okay. Just makes a little bit easier.
RJ: I have spotify premium and I get hulu through that.
Speaker D: Yeah, they don't do that because I had between that and it was with commercials, which I didn't like.
RJ: We do get the commercials, but it's okay. We roll with it. I roll with it.
Speaker D: you know, just get cable at that.
RJ: Why would I pay for cable? You know what? The only thing I really pay for right now is Disney Plus.
Speaker D: Here's the thing. At the end of the day, if you have Hulu, Disney Plus, Netflix, Max, all this stuff, it's as much as a cable plan.
RJ: Let's be honest. Let's be honest really quick here.
Speaker D: Cable does stink, though.
RJ: Just get voodoo and just download what you want or buy what you want.
Speaker D: You're a dirty boy.
Andrew: Why don't you buy what you want? Hulu, Disney Plus, and HBO.
Speaker D: What's the best one? It's Max.
Andrew: Max has a better content. They have a horrible interface. Yes, it's crashes all the time. Yes, it's better to watch Max's content from Hulu if and whenever possible. But, Max, I'm going to be the.
RJ: OD one out here. I know I'm a piss off cost right here.
Cas: No.
RJ: Don't say Netflix.
Andrew: Do not say don't say Disney Plus.
RJ: Paramount.
Speaker D: That's even worse.
RJ: I'm, a Paramount guy.
Speaker D: Okay.
Andrew: What are your thoughts on being the new co host? of the backseat?
Speaker D: I have such a love hate with Paramount because all summer, I was like, man, I need to cancel my Paramount subscription. I need to cancel my Paramount subscription.
Andrew: RJ are you Mike Three?
RJ: I am Mike three.
Andrew: Okay, mute.
Speaker D: Unmute him.
Andrew: Unmute him.
Speaker D: this guy. The whole summer like, I need to cancel my subscription. The only reason I have Paramount Plus is because UEFA Champions League is on there. It's the only way to watch UEFA Champions League, which is like, it's the best soccer.
RJ: Actually, wait, I'm going to retract my statement. I'm going to retract my statement of.
Andrew: Paramount if you say Netflix.
RJ: Peacock.
Speaker D: Oh, I actually do like peacock.
RJ: All right, I'm bringing in peacock. They are coming out.
Speaker D: They've been doing really great stuff.
RJ: They've been bringing out more newer and newer movies that are coming out.
Speaker D: Like Mario.
RJ: Oh, strays. Strays.
Speaker D: Strays.
RJ: Strays. That's the Jimmy Jimmy fox.
Speaker D: That movie stinks.
RJ: That movie's hilarious.
Andrew: That movie stinks. Loved it.
Speaker D: Have you watched that? I thought it was cool. They have the whole John Wick collection, and then they have that show.
RJ: They do.
Speaker D: I want to watch that show because I like the John Wick, universe.
RJ: There's a Chucky show. Yeah, they're the John Wick. The Continental.
Andrew: Oh, that's a show.
Speaker D: It's a show within the John Wick universe.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: Oh, sick. Yeah.
Speaker D: I need to catch up on the most recent John Wick movie, Metal.
Andrew: The newest one is actually really solid.
RJ: You don't like twisted metal.
Speaker D: Nah, the show but Peacock is actually when it launched, it was Kaka, but now I can say it's.
RJ: It's stepping up its game.
Speaker D: I would say I probably watch peacock. for me, it's like it's ESPN is number one. ESPN plus, because just the person I am. Then it's Max. And then I'd say it's Peacock.
RJ: Actually, if you take away this is going to be a hot take. You take away the Prince of Bel Air out of the Fresh Prince universe and just watch it as it is. I enjoy it.
Andrew: EW.
RJ: I enjoy the Prince of Bel Air. Not as like Will Smith, fresh Prince. I just enjoy the Bel Air show. that's a hot take.
Speaker D: That is so what paramount plus does stink.
RJ: I enjoy Survivor for reality TV, I.
Speaker D: Guess, if you like that.
RJ: Oh, that's all I watched from the had appendicitis.
Speaker D: Okay, yeah, then maybe Paramount isn't bad. But other than that, no good movies because it's CBS, and I hate CBS.
RJ: Well, I'm a Survivor fanatic.
Speaker D: Okay.
RJ: I like Survivor and then also during NFL season.
Andrew: Perfect.
Speaker D: You get one game. You get the local game on Paramount Plus, which is not. They cheaped out on that because I have cable. So it's like, oh, I can watch on my cable account, or I can watch on my Paramount Plus account.
RJ: And so I enjoy what I have.
Speaker D: Fair enough.
Cas: Fair enough.
Speaker D: Fair enough. Okay, let's get back to it.
Andrew: you guys are looking at me as if you're waiting for who's the lead here?
Speaker D: Who's the Robert of the show?
Andrew: so we're going to go into our one, minute summary, okay. And costs, please.
Speaker D: not me.
RJ: Yes.
Andrew: Since you are our guest. Okay. We're going to go with our man RJ. Okay.
Cas: Thank God.
Andrew: all right, RJ.
Speaker D: I'm really bad at summarizing stuff, and.
RJ: I pass it off to Cost.
Andrew: No.
RJ: He is.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: So it would be unfair for Cost to do it. It's going to be too good. All right, RJ, go.
RJ: So we have this guy who actually no, rewind.
Andrew: We have this mom we have this still counting against you.
RJ: We have this mom who gets a divorce with her kids. Kids set up a mom for a date, makes her run into him in the grocery store. Turns out he's a vampire. Little boy, little youngest son believes that he's a vampire. Says, oh, he's a vampire. Other two kids don't believe him. Mom goes on a date with him. The other two kids slowly find, ah homie's, a vampire. At the same note, a van. Helsing is trying to hunt him down. Eventually, he catches him at the house. Mom. Dad. No, not dad. Mom is under the trance of the vampire. And basically, at the end of the day, they trap him inside the coffin with some steel, 10 seconds with some silver nails. And the movie ends with him talking in the coffin.
Andrew: I feel like you skipped over some bits there.
RJ: You know what? This is why we call it the 1 minute summary, because it's so quick.
Speaker D: Pretty short movie, though. It was, like, an hour 20, something like that. It was a pretty short movie.
Andrew: Yeah.
Speaker D: Perfect.
Andrew: I appreciate that.
Speaker D: Well, you have to remember it's a Disney Channel original. So with commercials, you're looking at, like, 2 hours, probably.
Andrew: Yeah.
RJ: Pop that popcorn. But family around the TV.
Andrew: More movies need to take this. Please stop being two two and a half hours when you could tell your story in an hour and a half.
Speaker D: That is true.
Andrew: I don't give a Zack Snyder. Take notes from Disney Plus. Disney Channel original.
Speaker D: Look at that. Stop those Zack Snyder stray. right there.
Andrew: You had it coming.
RJ: Stop those fluff scenes.
Andrew: All right, we're, going to get to our first topic, which means we're going to, I guess, spin that wheel, which goes for a very long time.
RJ: And it's still spinning. You don't know. It's actually land on something, but the wheel is going. What does it say? It says that we're still spinning. And it is done. Actually, the spin is done.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: So we wait for the little blinky light to stop blinking. Yeah. No, I built in a little sound effect to make it, spin. Yeah, you guys can't hear it, but I can.
RJ: He's got headphones in. We ain't that cool.
Andrew: But our first pick is, scenes. We're going to pick our favorite scenes.
RJ: Oh, gosh.
Andrew: And RJ, since you did the two minute summary, you're not going to go first.
RJ: Wait, correction. 1 minute summary.
Speaker D: 1 minute summary.
Andrew: Sorry. Habit. Whoa.
Cas: Whoa. Sorry. Favorite or what? The scenes?
Andrew: Whoa.
RJ: No, just scenes. Favorite scenes.
Speaker D: yeah, so for me, I mean, I even told you guys before the movie started, but when, the I would say main character, it seems like the middle child boy was the main character. I can't remember his name goes, into his closet to grab a T shirt. It's all the same T shirt, just different colors. That was such a Disney Channel original movie. Touch. I absolutely loved, outside of that other scene I liked, the car dealership scene, I think was really up.
Andrew: We do one scene at a time. My man.
Speaker D: Oh, man. I apologize.
RJ: Yeah, you're not step out of line here.
Speaker D: And then when they put him in the coffin and.
Cas: I'm just going to steal them all from you.
Andrew: This has been another episode of Backseat Critics. We're just stopping it here.
RJ: We've let this slide in the past days in Toyland, and we looked at each other you know what? JMac actually sorry.
Speaker D: I feel like such a robber right now. Just taking control.
Andrew: That's fine. We're not going to be like Rob. We do one take the staying in the episode.
Speaker D: Okay?
Andrew: We'll let you have those cuts. We'll let you have those two scenes. Why don't you explain that second?
Speaker D: That was just one. That was just one.
Andrew: We'll let you have that second take.
RJ: The T shirt scene.
Speaker D: Yeah, the T shirt scene.
Cas: Okay.
Speaker D: specifically, if, you guys pick up on the little detail, it is a T shirt for Headless Horsemen, who's the band that they keep talking about that plays at the fall, festival or whatever they were going on about.
RJ: It knows the mom's songs.
Speaker D: They never show the band, even though the band is such a big that's.
Andrew: What was weird to me is, like, after watching, they even get a certain amount of these Disney Channel original movies. It's like, okay, at some point, you expect a band that's talked about this much to play during the movie, and instead, what we get is a rockabilly band, which is not yeah. Doing her best at singing. And she's like, hey, I haven't sung in 15 years.
RJ: As if we couldn't tell and we couldn't tell that she was actually some celebrity from St. Helens, Oregon, all of a sudden.
Speaker D: Yeah. Like, everyone in the town knew. Or they were like, oh, your mom's. Your mom's, Linnae Hollins or whatever. Oh, yeah, we'll take care of that guy like all this your mom's Linnae your mom gets. Yeah, exactly. but at the end of the day, to keep a movie at an hour, 20 minutes, you don't show the Headless Horseman band playing. No, you get the rockabilly band.
Andrew: But honestly, I would have taken them cutting the rockabilly band and showing the Headless Horseman band, which we all know would have either been some new metal band or a SCA band. I'm not quite sure because it would.
Speaker D: Have been a Halloween themed something came out like 2000.
Andrew: So I'm like, maybe not smut band. smut. I'm in.
Speaker D: Smut in right now, by the way.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: Oh really?
Speaker D: Smut's very in right now. All the girlies read the Smut is what hear.
Andrew: Wow.
Speaker D: Yeah.
RJ: interesting.
Speaker D: Take a note, take a note. Catch up on your smut.
RJ: Yeah.
Speaker D: RJ favorite scene, please go.
RJ: He said Andrew.
Speaker D: Nope.
RJ: I'm actually going to go to that rock concert as my favorite scene.
Speaker D: The rockabilly one. The rockabilly concert where they have the.
RJ: Like where they kick him out, they.
Speaker D: Have the leukemia, Elvis Presley.
RJ: I just like where they brought this guy and he's like, hey, can you go save my this kid's trying to do anything he can to sabotage the day.
Speaker D: Here the kid from Spy Kids. Yeah.
RJ: Anything he can do, whether that be send up some buff guy or to say, hey, this guy is stalking my mom. Try to get him out.
Speaker D: Yeah.
RJ: Enjoyed it.
Speaker D: You don't touch Linnae in that town.
RJ: Don't touch no. She is a national treasure in that town.
Andrew: The town of St. Helens, Oregon, 50 00 10,000 people, they all know her.
Speaker D: We talked about this while we were watching it, that it was such like a St. Helens, maybe Eugene like type of town.
Andrew: Yeah.
RJ: Scapoos.
Andrew: All right.
Speaker D: With a Ferrari dealership out of the.
RJ: Blue, only maybe with two.
Andrew: Okay, what's the percent of the budget that they blew on that car?
Speaker D: I don't know. It's the year 2000, so it's quite cheap.
RJ: They rented it.
Speaker D: They either rented it or is a.
Andrew: Fake or is it a Jetta with like a chassis thrown over, a body kit?
Speaker D: Most likely it is just a kit car. Most likely. Otherwise in 2000. Probably m in 2000. No, a car didn't really sell for over a million back then. They rented today, though. Today that car would be like at least 10 million.
RJ: They rented that?
Speaker D: They rented it or it was a kid car. Fast and Furious does a lot of kid cars, by the way.
Andrew: Oh yeah.
Speaker D: Just so you guys wanted to know.
Andrew: yeah, whenever I looked up the facts, which I didn't do for this movie and don't feel like doing now, yeah, that was something I wait.
Speaker D: But while we were watching the movie, you said you couldn't find a budget for the movie.
Andrew: I could not find a budget even on the Wikipedia.
Cas: Page. Yeah.
Andrew: I looked on Wikipedia. I looked on IMDb.
Speaker D: Maybe it wasn't.
Andrew: I mean, but.
Speaker D: You saw they kept highlighting that red car.
Andrew: Yeah.
Speaker D: That was almost like its own character, I feel like.
Andrew: And this is just a theory.
Speaker D: A game theory.
Andrew: Just a game theory.
Speaker D: A movie theory.
Andrew: The director wanted that car.
Speaker D: It was his car.
Andrew: He had the credentials. He had the resume. He's like, hey, let me film this movie. And for this movie, we need this car tax write off, paid for by the studio. He's like, hey, movie's done. Why don't I take that car off.
Speaker D: Your an old Adam Sandler method, maybe. Andrew, favorite scene, please.
Andrew: Oh, man. I was really cost.
RJ: Just take over this show.
Speaker D: I'm sorry. I'm being a big robber right now.
Andrew: Yeah, you are. Wow.
Speaker D: I apologize. Please do whatever you want.
Andrew: I enjoyed the clarification that you're a big Robert.
Speaker D: I'm a big Robert right now.
Andrew: my favorite scene is going to be the bit where they drag the coffin down the stairs and into the water.
RJ: How did they lift coffin is at least 200 pounds. How did he lift that?
Speaker D: Yeah, that was impressive.
Andrew: And then he's all of, what, 5ft out 10ft out into the water. Yes. And he can't be touched by the vampire.
Speaker D: Dimitri's given up.
Andrew: Who can hypnotize people to do whatever they want, like come towards him and also fly.
Speaker D: You saw that clip when Van Halsen got there where he flew across the house. But the coffin was too far out. It was a whole 5ft out of this whole thing.
Andrew: He got the kid to shuffle towards him with just like staring at him. Be like, hey, you're going to come towards me so I can bite you? It's like, oh, it's some water. Oh, I can't do it. I can't do it right now.
RJ: Inconvenience vampires can't do the steeple chase anymore.
Andrew: Yeah, I was asking that during the movies. Like, what's the size of body water that the vampire can't cross?
RJ: 2Ft deep steeple chase.
Speaker D: I don't know.
Andrew: I don't know either.
Speaker D: I don't know.
Andrew: I feel like the writers for this movie didn't know either.
Speaker D: They were making rules up as they were going.
Andrew: Yeah. Just scene by scene. All right. Costs.
Speaker D: Scene number two.
Andrew: Scene number two.
Speaker D: okay. I'll say the dealership scene as, someone who, works in the auto industry to a degree, as well as knows a lot of people that, are salesmen. I thought that scene was really well done. where the greasy car salesman comes in. He's like, when I saw you pull up to the lot, I knew this was the car for you. And then he, used a clipboard to start a fire.
Andrew: Yeah.
Speaker D: Impressive.
RJ: Weird.
Speaker D: That was cool. and then he ends a scene, of course, where it's like, yeah, he bought the red one. He's like, of course it was red.
Andrew: Yeah.
Speaker D: I like that scene. That scene was like peak 2000s straight to cable movie.
Andrew: All right, RJ.
RJ: My number two scene is actually going to be the very beginning of the movie where they actually have like, a fake vampire movie going.
Andrew: Are you looking up scenes right now?
RJ: No, I'm actually looking up awards from this movie right now.
Andrew: There's awards for this?
RJ: Yeah, believe it or not. No, I'm trying to figure out how this they had four nominees. I don't know what awards it was in. One winner, the one winner of this movie is actually Arazzi. I don't know. It's actually the little brother in the movie. He won the best TV Movie Comedy or Drama young actor award for Age under ten or under. And I want to know what award this is competition was.
Andrew: I feel like we should win award for a movie review based in Portland, Oregon that's been running for under two years.
Speaker D: 100%.
RJ: I don't know how that happened. That's such a specific that's what I'm looking up. I was just like, how did this.
Speaker D: And I'm curious what the other nominees were.
RJ: Oh, yeah, I'll tell you right now, actually. So best, performance in a TV movie comedy leading young actor was actually the middle child. The older brother in this movie. Best performance in a TV movie comedy leading young actress. would have been the Sister.
RJ: And then also as well. Best family TV movie. cable series was the show or the.
Andrew: Movie. anyways, I'm working on this straw.
RJ: M. my number two scene was the beginning of the movie, though.
Speaker D: The fake vampire movie.
RJ: The fake vampire movie actually kind of.
Andrew: Like I was like, I kind of hate you for taking that. But yeah, I was really hoping that the rest of the movie was going to be like that level of cheesiness and corny.
RJ: Cheesiness and yeah, you thought that was going to start out where you're like, that's going to be the vampire.
Andrew: And he's going to good enough but bad enough. Like, okay, yeah, this is going to.
RJ: Be the movie that's going to be the vampire. But then it was just like the gets oh, yeah, there's a Van Helsing in this that's going to try to get after him. And I could see that that vampire.
Andrew: Looked like somebody that would file my taxes.
Speaker D: Yeah, that was a bad vampire. Yeah, that looked like Ray Donovan.
Andrew: Thank you. Thank you.
RJ: I was trying to place him.
Cas: Thank.
Speaker D: You. Yeah, exactly. Lee Strider.
Andrew: Do you guys ever see, was it Lee Strider in, it was Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson in,
Speaker D: I only know him, I'll be honest, as Wolverine. Not Wolverine. Sorry. wolverine's brother.
Andrew: Beast. There's like a 1990s movie saber tooth.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: Maybe it's not Tom Hanks. It's, Steve Martin, Rita Wilson, Lee Schreider, and some other people. but Lee Schreider is a, he's a cross dresser through the whole movie. Sick. And dude goes all out at it.
Cas: Good.
Andrew: It's awesome. Okay. Worth a watch just for that. And then watch that back to back with, like, Ray Donovan or him and X Men. so my number two scene is going to be the bits. I really hate that you took that opening scene, RJ I really hate that you took that opening scene. is going to be the bit where the little kid sticks up to.
RJ: The vampire smacks on the back of the head with a because we have.
Andrew: The thing to not the vampire, which is to, stab the guy. And we're garlic.
Cas: Right.
Andrew: And we're not even doing that. We're not even doing that. We're just like, hitting the guy on the head.
Speaker D: He was hitting him on the back of the head pretty hard.
RJ: That's pretty funny, though.
Speaker D: That could have killed him.
RJ: Yeah.
Andrew: No. Vampire kept picking up that wooden steak.
RJ: You think that wouldn't kill you?
Speaker D: Depends how strong the kid is as.
RJ: An eight year old kid.
Speaker D: Okay.
Andrew: Most question how big of a wooden stick does it have to be? Does a splinter work?
RJ: It's not like a two by. No, you actually have to stab them.
Andrew: It's got to go through them.
RJ: Does it?
Andrew: Yes.
RJ: I've watched enough vampire shows that watch this. It's got to go through the heart.
Andrew: I don't think there's any established thing to say. It's got to go through them.
RJ: It's got to go through the heart with the.
Cas: Windstake.
RJ: Yeah, look it up. Vampire lore disagree.
Speaker D: It has to go through their,
RJ: Has to go through the heart.
Speaker D: Has to go through their heart.
Andrew: that's.
Speaker D: Lame.
Cas: Yes.
RJ: I've watched the originals. I've seen this. I know.
Andrew: I'm talking about but you like that.
RJ: Scene with twice the little shit kid.
Cas: You like that?
Andrew: I was a little too hydrated through the rest of it.
Speaker D: Little cool ranch. I thought the fight scene was better than that.
RJ: Cut it out. The kid was hilarious.
Andrew: So why don't you go for that for your number two?
Cas: Three?
Speaker D: I should have maybe. I don't know. That's my number three.
Cas: Okay.
Andrew: Do we get three scenes?
RJ: Yeah, we get we do get three scenes.
Speaker D: Okay. My final favorite scene is the fight scene.
Andrew: If you can call it that.
Cas: Sure.
Speaker D: Because, it was weird.
RJ: Two minute fight at best.
Speaker D: Two minute fight.
Andrew: Slaps a vampire on the way out.
Speaker D: You don't really see vampires look like that. Like, weird. Him, flying through the house, going outside, like going through the door. They close the.
Cas: Door.
Andrew: I do appreciate that they kept the movie under an hour and a half by cutting out all the times the vampire could have walked across the room by just having him blur across it. Yes. You saved us a good 30 seconds here and there.
RJ: Yes.
Cas: Fantastic.
RJ: Or in the bushes. He went in the bushes. And grabbed the dove.
Speaker D: Oh, yeah, the kid out. See, he could smell her then, but he couldn't smell her when he got kicked out of the club.
Cas: Right.
Andrew: I feel like a different writer wrote each scene and they weren't in contact with each other.
Speaker D: Yeah, there were so many like yeah.
Andrew: We'Ll get back to it. Oh, man.
RJ: RJ all right, my number three.
Andrew: Scene taking too long here.
RJ: I, know. I am trying to think about this real.
Cas: Quick.
RJ: I'm going to say the supermarket.
Speaker D: That is a good scene, actually. Yeah, something about it.
RJ: Something about that scene where at first you see the guy in the trench coat and you're like, oh, this is definitely going to be the guy that she's going to be, trying to meet up with her.
Andrew: It's an interesting scene because they're like, just going around trying to find out who the guy is.
Andrew: M. Yeah.
RJ: I'm going to say that that's the scene. It's kind of a little comedic.
Andrew: Slightly comedic.
Cas: Comedic. Think about all the potential dates.
RJ: There was lots of guys looking for pampers in that supermarket. Pampers and grapes.
Cas: Whoa.
RJ: You know what they're looking for? Some Cool Ranch doritos.
Speaker D: I don't think they had those in 2000.
RJ: Yeah, they did.
Andrew: You think?
Cas: Yes.
Speaker D: As far as I'm concerned, though, if.
RJ: I'm fact actually doritos made in Disneyland.
Speaker D: Doritos made in Disneyland.
RJ: There's a restaurant that made Doritos.
Speaker D: You just made Doritos not taste good.
RJ: They're made in Disneyland. What year, according to what I'm being told, is 1986 when Cool Ranches came out.
Speaker D: And that's why it stinks.
RJ: It's actually made by, no, there's a, there's a Hispanic restaurant in Disneyland and that's where Doritos, was made.
Speaker D: Oh, I heard it came from a Hispanic restaurant. Didn't know it was in Disneyland.
RJ: It was in Disneyland, actually. They have a really good lime chip. Lemon, lime chip that I recommend trying.
Cas: Okay.
RJ: So kind of like a lemon lime.
Speaker D: Is that our Mexican restaurant in Disneyland? Seriously, dude, come on, we get it. Is that restaurant still in Disneyland?
RJ: 100% Rancho Dell.
Speaker D: Zacala it's still there?
RJ: Yeah, it's right behind, Thunder Mountain.
Cas: Right.
Speaker D: And do they sell freshly made doritos there?
RJ: not Doritos, but they sell their lemon lime chip.
Andrew: There. Intel or paid by Disneylands?
Speaker D: Please. Personally, I think Legoland is better.
RJ: What's that?
Speaker D: I've always wanted to go, Legoland is way better than Disneyland.
Cas: I've never been.
Andrew: I've never been.
Speaker D: When I was a kid, I went to both. Last time I went to Disneyland? When I was twelve and I like Legoland more.
RJ: Okay, that's fine.
Andrew: But you're a shill for Disney.
Speaker D: No, I fall years old, I was like, Legoland feels way more age appropriate to me.
RJ: I used to do the Lego magazines.
Andrew: Back in 31 year old man. RJ legoland should still feel more age appropriate than Disneyland. Not these days. Nothing is sadder than going to Disneyland.
Speaker D: Never mind.
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: it's okay.
RJ: Actually, really quick. I'm actually saddened by Lego because now their sets are like $600.
Speaker D: They're super expensive.
Andrew: They're so expensive.
Speaker D: Well, they're marketing so much to adults now where they have, like, the because they are collection, botanical collection.
Andrew: M. the architecture, the car ones.
Speaker D: I get the car ones and I'm.
Andrew: Like, car ones are sick.
Cas: Scenes.
Speaker D: Scenes from a movie or scenes from a movie or like a TV show.
Andrew: Yeah, like they did Friends seinfeld or.
Speaker D: Like the ones where you do, like, a Van Gogh painting in Legos.
RJ: Yeah.
Cas: Expensive.
Speaker D: They're very expensive. But god damn, they're awesome.
Andrew: They're so good. They're awesome. They're so good.
Speaker D: Yeah.
Andrew: so, my third favorite scene is going to be the rockabilly scene.
Speaker D: That was his favorite.
RJ: That was my number.
Cas: One.
Speaker D: Your.
Cas: Face.
RJ: You know, the guy with the electric guitar that's like the size of an acoustic. You got some stuff to cut out later. It's going to be fantastic while you're going through this.
Speaker D: Come on.
RJ: Andrew favorite scene. Well, he's got to write this down so he knows where to cut out. Andrew, we're going to cut, cut, cut. it out right here.
Andrew: I was really counting on that.
Speaker D: Oh, come on.
Andrew: There are so many good scenes.
RJ: Okay, we're there. Okay, let's be honest. Silver nails.
Speaker D: No, that was a good one.
RJ: No. Silver nails.
Cas: No.
Speaker D: What about when they're eating the sandwich? Shares the sandwich.
RJ: That was a cute sandwich.
Andrew: That's actually where I was going to go. Hey, that's where I was going to go. sandwiches are delicious. I appreciate the conversation. The kid asked, did your mom make this for you? And the guy had explained, no, I don't live with my mom.
Speaker D: I live in hotels.
Andrew: Yeah. Which brings up other questions.
RJ: Way worse.
Speaker D: How does he not his mom? how has he not met her yet? That's when you know, don't look at.
Andrew: Me like that, RJ. I'm not cutting that.
Speaker D: But do you think that's foreshadowing?
Andrew: Lynette oh, yeah.
Speaker D: That's going to be his.
Cas: Son is penn.
Speaker D: Helson going to date the mom after a, hundred percent.
RJ: They did mention at the very end.
Speaker D: They got a date at the end of the day. Yeah. Lynette's been around, let me tell you. Especially in the last 24 hours.
Andrew: She doesn't date, but she just sees other people.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: I think what she said.
Speaker D: Yeah, I see the silk robe.
Andrew: Lynette all right.
Speaker D: I've seen the X videos. yeah. She was quick to, get another date on the books.
RJ: Yeah. After that bad date, she's like, next.
Speaker D: I think in her book, it wasn't even a bad date.
Cas: She's quite bright.
Andrew: I like how she's like, hey, you're a great guy. I just don't see any future in this. You want to go ride some bumper cars?
Cas: Yeah.
RJ: And try to continue the date?
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: Next topic. All right.
Speaker D: spin the.
Andrew: Wheel. Too need to get set up some sort of speaker here so you guys can hear.
RJ: Now, this wheel just takes forever and it spins for RJ.
Andrew: Feel free to find another wheel if you want.
Cas: It's still spinning.
Andrew: Oh, yeah. No, there it is. There it is. We're done. We're done. Next, scene characters.
Cas: Okay.
Andrew: Since you went first, no, RJ, you'll be going after me.
Cas: Okay.
RJ: I got to stay at my number two role. Don't take my favorite character. Take his favorite character. Take his favorite character. Take it now.
Cas: Take it.
RJ: Take it now.
Andrew: I actually don't know whose favorite character take it now.
RJ: Take it. But I'm going to go with the vampire.
Andrew: whoa.
Speaker D: Really?
Andrew: Why?
RJ: Because the dude was so no Suave.
Cas: No.
RJ: Rico suave.
Andrew: The guy was so no. Such a try hard on. Trying to pass be all, shut up. RJ was like, trying so hard to.
Speaker D: Be like, romantic to this chick.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: And then when she's like, no, not feeling it, he goes like full raper mode. He's just like, yeah, no, you're mine now. You're hypnotized. You're coming home. And it's like, why didn't you start with that?
RJ: We're going to hit that grapevan.
Andrew: And he's my favorite because he did that. he's just so inconsistent and so stupid.
Speaker D: He was not him. No, he wasn't him.
Andrew: Become another person also.
Speaker D: Become another what's with the British accent?
Andrew: Yeah, that was usually at least maybe like a he did a blood. Yeah, like a fake German accent.
Speaker D: Maybe some Eastern European accent.
Andrew: Maybe like Eastern European would make more sense.
Speaker D: Come back to my castle.
Andrew: German is like kind of what you hear a lot. Yeah, but he's just like, no, I'm just doing British. That's just what I do. I feel like they told him, like, hey, you're going to do European accent?
RJ: All right, so I'm going to come in with my number two. That's going to be the Van Helsing character.
Andrew: Damn it.
Cas: Aka.
Speaker D: You knew that was my favorite.
RJ: Rizzie Maguire's.
Speaker D: Dad. Yeah, he ate the sandwich. AK. Robert Carradine aka. Sandwich Eater.
RJ: Robert Carradine, aka.

RJ: Yeah, he was solid.
Speaker D: He was good.
RJ: We found out he was dad does that.
Speaker D: He was him.
Andrew: Who wore it better, him or Justin Timberlake?
Speaker D: now here's my real question.
RJ: Rosie O'Donnell.
Speaker D: Rosie O'Donnell.
Andrew: She wore it better.
Cas: Yeah. Who's?
Speaker D: a better Van Helsing. Him or Hugh Jackman?
RJ: Hugh Jackman.
Andrew: M. Never seen he's got the I.
Speaker D: Actually like that movie quite a bit. That's like a guilty pleasure movie of mine.
Cas: Really?
Speaker D: That would have been way better to watch than mom's gotta Stay with a Vampire.
Cas: I'll say.
Andrew: Why didn't we start with that?
RJ: Well, it's because it's actually a good movie.
Speaker D: It's actually like a decent movie.
RJ: And we review movies that you should steer clear of.
Andrew: Andrew yeah, but we saw, Five Nights at Fredy's last week.
RJ: A movie you should.
Cas: Steer.
Speaker D: We got to do a sports movie next time. Just to make Andrew uncomfortable.
Andrew: The Titans.
Speaker D: rebound more along the lines of bench warmers.
Andrew: Rebound.
Cas: Blow.
Speaker D: I want bench warmers.
Cas: Baseball.
Speaker D: That's another guilty pleasure movie.
RJ: Mine baseball, but anyways hugh Jackman.
Cas: Better. HIV.
Speaker D: Van Helsing?
Cas: Yes.
Speaker D: You don't watch, eh? no, I don't watch baseball. I'm trying to think, are there any other Van Helsing's in movies?
Andrew: Peter Cushing played him for years and years in what? Just like any vampire movie. Oh, really? Yeah, from maybe like the late 50s, early 60s through like, the 70s.
RJ: There's the early Stokers, Dracula and those sorts of things too.
Andrew: That there's different that came through Anthony, Hopkins. I did not like him. There's different in that. I enjoy the movie mostly, but I.
RJ: Didn'T like, actually Stan Van Helsing. Stan Van Helsing. Stan Van Helsing.
Speaker D: Van Helsing.
Cas: Okay.
RJ: No, actually that's the scary movie they created, Stan Van Helsing.
Andrew: I got terrible movie. A future episode I got really excited about, was it Interview with a Vampire? Not the TV show, but the original movie. Tom Cruise one. Yeah. Learning that like, oh, hey, it takes place in Louisiana. Thinking that, hey, maybe it's going to be some hicks in Louisiana playing like, Deliverance. But they're vampires. But it wasn't anything like that. That's really disappointing. That's all I got, guys.
RJ: All right, KAS, what's your number one.
Speaker D: Character? Well, it was Van Helsing, but since you took him, he's not my number one anymore.
Cas: Stolen.
Speaker D: And, that's okay. I'll say my number one character is the sister.
Andrew: Okay.
Speaker D: because she somehow rode a bike with a skirt, on, which I thought was really impressive. And she played the dumb blonde character really well in the movie. Okay.
Andrew: even the damsel run out of characters, fat.
RJ: Yeah, I'm going to do some obscure characters.
Speaker D: and you know what? She, looked like the mom. So for that, I thought she did a great job of doing the role. I hate everyone in this movie. I hate every single character in this movie.
Cas: Why?
RJ: It's a great movie, KAS?
Speaker D: It is a phenomenal.
Cas: Movie.
Speaker D: Your movie. I chose the movie.
Andrew: He's had his name on this movie for almost a year.
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: And it's a phenomenal movie. I just forgot that they hired like, the worst people ever to be in it.
Cas: Yes.
Andrew: So, my number two yes is going to be.
Cas: Yes.
Andrew: The big muscle guy that kicks the, Dracula guy. Samoa Joe.
Cas: Joe.
RJ: Imagine if it was Samoa Joe.
Andrew: Maybe a ten times better. That's hilarious. kicked the vampire out of, the club.
Speaker D: Dude, he beat a vampire up.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: Good for you. The vampire was like, convinced the other buff guy to walk away or that he was being blown away. He's convinced kids that he's like, hey, you're going to come towards.
Cas: Me?
Andrew: You ah, okay. Over there.
RJ: She got the hiccups. The jackal got the hiccups.
Andrew: If you're going to talk, grab a mic. She got the.
Cas: Hiccups.
Andrew: The, club owner, but yeah, basically, like, the bouncer. He knew about Lynette? He knew about Lynette?
Speaker D: Of course. Lynette Hansen's. Your mom.

Andrew: I remember her well.
Andrew: Fishy your younger brother.
Speaker D: Actually, my son. Okay. Club owner.
Cas: Awkward.
RJ: Oh, Andrew wants a piece of candy.
Andrew: Is what he's trying to say.
RJ: What kind of piece of candy? Okay, my, number two character is going to be I'm going to have to make the other half of the same.

Speaker D: That was funny.
RJ: anyways, we're going to talk about my guy with the other half of the sandwich is the little brother as the number two character.
Andrew: Really?
RJ: Yes. That man saw the vampire as who he is.
Speaker D: The kid knew.
RJ: The kid knew.
Speaker D: He also was the only one that saw him turn into a bat outside of the supermarket.
Andrew: That's true. Instead of going into the van, he's like, well, I kind of wish he went into the right van, because that would have been less of a red flag.
Cas: Yes.
RJ: He was, an innocent little kid, and he won an award for the character he played. So congratulations to.
Cas: Him.
Speaker D: Number two character.
Andrew: Solid. My number three.
RJ: No, hold up. We skipped a man. You can't just skip the guest.
Speaker D: We have a guest head ass. He picked this movie. I'll do the middle brother, aka the kid from Spy Kids. because the main character, in my opinion, he was the main character of the movie. he's the main character. He's the Superman at the end of the day. at first he was a little.
RJ: Annoying, and then at the end, he was annoying.
Speaker D: definitely like a booger eater. I'd say on a scale of one to ten, this guy's a booger eater.
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: but I love the fact that he had the same shirt with the band that we never got to meet.
Andrew: That was fantastic. was not expecting that.
Speaker D: I love his deep knowledge of monsters and, cryptides that's all I can say about whatever his name.
Andrew: Is. my number three is going to be the.
Cas: Babysitter. Why?
Andrew: They wrote her in as a horrible babysitter, and she was she forgot about the kids and we forgot about her.
Speaker D: Oh, my God.
Andrew: It was a perfect storm.
Speaker D: How much screen time do you think she got?
Andrew: A minute, 30 seconds.
Speaker D: Turns out that was like, young Emma.
Cas: Stone.
Andrew: I honestly thought that was, like, the older sister with pigtails for a second. I'm like, oh, wait, no, that was the same act.
Speaker D: She was off the screen. I was like, oh, that was the babysitter.
Andrew: Yeah, that's where I was like, oh, wait, no, that wasn't the older sister. That was the babysitter. Yeah.
Cas: Okay.
Andrew: And then they just never touch on her again because I guess staying at the house, assuming the kids are still.
Speaker D: There, she probably went home. I guess she's like, oh, the kids left.
RJ: How she got paid in all this? Does she get paid by the brother and the sister?
Speaker D: I'm more curious about how she's doing her taxes.
Andrew: She's not. She gets royalty checks.
Speaker D: No. whether she's a W two a W four employee, I need to make sure those taxes are paid.
Andrew: Not for long. All right.
RJ: My number three character is going to be actually the car salesman in the movie.
Speaker D: Oh, that's a good one, I think.
Andrew: Yeah.
RJ: That man was hustling and selling cars all day. Oh, yeah. Lights are up, and he is still selling.
Speaker D: It was dark. I don't know if I've ever seen a car deal in the middle of the night.
RJ: I bought a car in the middle really? One time.
Andrew: Damn sketchy.
Speaker D: Like, that it was scratched.
RJ: It was not.
Cas: You know what?
RJ: It was from a dealership. And they actually called me and said, hey, you got to return the car, because we actually weren't able to secure a loan for you. And we walked away with it.
Andrew: Oh, man.
RJ: Did you take it back? I did. I was like, Why? We agreed to this price. I was like, why would you agree to this price if you didn't secure it?
Speaker D: That's weird.
RJ: It was really weird. It's actually from a well known dealership, too, so it's really weird.
Speaker D: Do you want to say their name?
Cas: Expose them?
RJ: no, but it rhymes with.
Speaker D: But what's, like, the name of the dealership?
RJ: Boyota. Ah of oh, okay.
Andrew: All right, here. I'm not sure about my translation skills, but I think that was Toyota of Gladstone. We'll tag them down.
Speaker D: Below.
Andrew: That's funny. All right.
Speaker D: KAS. Are there even any more characters? Yeah, go for it. I'm going to say the teacher. The teacher that makes, the main character get in front of, the class and read his paper. I just think, especially in today's world, where we have teachers, on strike to get better wages, she was a prime example of a, good teacher.
RJ: I agree with that.
Speaker D: Teachers deserve more. Yeah. And really, me saying that, it just emphasizes the fact that I did not like the mom as a character.
Andrew: The mom was.
RJ: Horrible. The mom is Sabrina. The teenage witch is aunt.
Speaker D: Yeah.
RJ: No, she was short on that.
Speaker D: What's funny is the way she plays Sabrina's aunt is the same way. She played the bomb 100%. So it makes me worry that that's just her acting style, 100%. And that's concerning.
RJ: Isn't that how she plays, like, every I think that is her acting style. I think she plays every character I've seen her in anything like that.
Speaker D: And the crazy thing is, she's not that old today. From what you showed. She's like, 50. That old. 50 something?
Cas: Yes.
Speaker D: So she was 30 something when this movie came out, but she looked like she was, like, 40 something.
RJ: She looked yeah, she looked like a mom. that means she was probably in her she was in her twenty s.
Speaker D: I was thinking, like, thirty s or.
RJ: No, she would be in her thirty.
Speaker D: S. Yeah, because she's, like, late 50s now.
RJ: Well, no, she was it 52 or something like that.
Speaker D: Oh, she only 52? I thought she was 59.
RJ: Okay, maybe she was 59. Let's look it up really quick. Anyways, I think the what's our next topic?
Andrew: The babysitter has done a whole host of stuff.
RJ: Oh, you found the babysitter.
Andrew: Actually, Joanne Bouland is her name.
RJ: She's actually in another Disney movie, too. Boolem Booland megaplex phantom.
Andrew: The megaplex. She's also in, Land of the Dead and, saw Four.
RJ: Yeah, and she's back, actually, in that Netflix series Lock and.
Andrew: Key.
RJ: Anyways, all right, so let's move on.
Andrew: Here to our last topic, which I'm not even going to spin the wheel for because it's set or what moments. And I don't even want to talk about sets.
RJ: Oh, okay. So we can talk about what moments.
Andrew: We'Re going to talk what moments. Okay. And costs. We're going back to you. RJ doesn't get his first turn this time.
Speaker D: so moments.
RJ: What's difference between listen scenes.
Andrew: What moments are just like just moments that made you go, what?
RJ: No, small moments.
Andrew: It could be, like, interactions.
RJ: You said it wrong. It's moments that made you go, what?
Andrew: it's just like, small interactions. It doesn't have to be a full scene.
Speaker D: Got it.
Andrew: Just a moment that made you scratch your head and like all right, what.
RJ: M can you go first? For instance, let's put an example real quick. Bates in Toyland. Back to our episode in Bates of Toyland.
Speaker D: Oh, don't take me back.
RJ: How they go back and all of a sudden, they're able to hear and fight off this monster disease just by singing a song about Cincinnati, Ohio.
Speaker D: Okay.
Cas: Yeah.
RJ: So that is a what moment.
Speaker D: I had to watch that movie on two times. Speed, by the way.
Andrew: Good man.
Speaker D: Like, halfway through, I'm like, I can't, I can't, I can't.
Cas: Why?
Speaker D: I watched it on two or maybe three times speed. Fantastic movie.
Andrew: I could not stay hydrated.
RJ: Watch it again.
Speaker D: I could not. Okay, Andrew, please go first.
Andrew: All right, so my number one, what moment was when the little kid's red flag was when the guy turned into a bat instead of getting into.
Speaker D: The Really good.
Andrew: CJ it's fantastic. I mean, just as good as stuff in, The Mummy.
RJ: It's actually kind of like Or Avatar way of.
Speaker D: Water. Why that scene?
Andrew: What made you go, what?
RJ: Because, I guess the kid was he got it. He knew what's up because I guess.
Andrew: The kid was like, oh, hey, I'm going to watch this guy get into the van and that'll be okay. But then he turned in the bat.
Speaker D: He's like, oh, hold up here. I love the way he dropped his groceries before he turned into the bat.
Andrew: I didn't even catch that.
Speaker D: He threw the groceries.
Andrew: I was so focused on him just turning into this gelatinous blob. This massive bat smeared him into this bat. Norman bat. They turned to, like, a door, I guess. Can't fly over water of any size.
Speaker D: Too many.
Cas: Questions.
RJ: What's your number one?
Speaker D: My number one moment. oh, dang, I had it. Now I'm having a brain.
Andrew: Fart brain, toots. We believe in you.
Cas: Man.
Andrew: If you want to skip, you can skip. go to RJ and then we can come back.
Speaker D: Yeah, go to RJ and come back to me.
RJ: Oh my gosh. All right. My number one brain fart moment. Like some people in this house or some people in this podcast number, one moment. What moment is actually going to be where he can smell the sister inside the bush, but he couldn't smell the sister inside the house? You're outside. I feel like there'd be different aromas floating through the air. Like, why would you be able to sister outside compared to inside, where you should have been like, oh, yeah, sister wasn't here.
Speaker D: Yeah, that was a strange one. And that kind of goes back to the whole water thing, too, where it's like selective powers, I feel like, kind of selective plot armor.
Andrew: Do you think that the other townsfolk can walk into a room and be like, lynette.
RJ: Was smell like teenagers. Ivan News can smell like teenagers. So it's possible. Oregon has got the nose for Lynette.
Andrew: Damn.
Speaker D: yes, Andrew, I do think the whole town can smell her. all right. Mine came back to me. Yeah, go for it. the spoon scene.
Andrew: The spoon. Oh, on the nose.
Speaker D: Yeah, that was the most like I.
Andrew: Thought they were going to go with like, oh, the spoon silver or something like that. But they're like, oh, no, it's on the nose.
Speaker D: And there's so many folk stuff you could probably find with vampires or whatever for them to just make up something on the spa, technically, about a spoon. I don't know.
RJ: That was while you're watching it, I was kind of really hoping for him to be like, oh, here's a piece of garlic bread.
Cas: Right?
Andrew: They're in, like, an Italian restaurant or anyone. He's eating spaghetti.
Speaker D: Here's a piece. And they could have done a play on that. Really the only garlic thing they did was when they're like, oh, and would you like garlic bread?
Andrew: He's like, no.
RJ: Yeah, that would have been cool.
Speaker D: Here's a piece of garlic bread.
Andrew: Yeah.
Speaker D: Or like, oh, hold my cross for me.
Andrew: Yeah, see, I think they could have skipped a chunk of this movie if they're like, hey, we know he's not a vampire. Quote unquote. We'll just have him eat a piece of garlic bread. We're in an Italian restaurant. And he's like, no, I can't, I'm allergic. And the mom brushes off as allergic. And the kids are like, Hold up, this guy is a vampire.
RJ: Let's just go Salem witch child days and be like, let's just stab him through the steak.
Andrew: he's not a woman.
Cas: That's okay.
RJ: Let's just stab him in the heart with a steak and let's just see.
Andrew: What happens if he dies.
RJ: If he dies, he's not a vampire.
Andrew: That's fair.
Speaker D: Okay.
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: but yeah, I'll say the spoon scene was weird and.
Andrew: Awkward.
RJ: All right, andrew, number two. Scene number two. What scene?
Andrew: Go. The scene right after they introduced the vampire not the vampire.
Speaker D: Wow.
Andrew: the babysitter. When I realized the babysitter wasn't the.
Speaker D: Sister because I was like, back to the.
Andrew: Babysitter. She had a role in this. Where was she? Through 99% of the movie.
Speaker D: That's your what scene is just her.
RJ: Not being in the movie. Lose the little brother.
Andrew: How'd she lose them? also, why'd she look so much like the older sister with pigtails?
RJ: I feel like she's like the babysitter from, Incredibles, but a lot worse.
Cas: No, do not insult the babysitter from The Incredibles like that. Do not insult the babysitter from The Incredibles like that. She is a rock star and she was amazing. You handed to me wrong from right here.
Speaker D: Shut up.
RJ: Okay, I don't know if you catch that or not, but it's okay. The jackal.
Andrew: Talked. I'm just going to put in a banshee screeching sound jackal.
RJ: All right, well, my number two scene is actually going to be the concert rock hall hillbilly rock concert thing that they went to in St. Helens, Oregon.
Andrew: That's your what moment.
Speaker D: Can we actually look 1000% where this movie was filmed?
RJ: Yeah, we can 1000%. It's my what moment. Why would it not be my what moment? I was just curious.
Cas: Okay?
RJ: Why would you not say about it? Because that's a scene and it's also.
Andrew: A what moment is a scene? A moment. How long does a moment last? Because that scene was like five minutes.
RJ: Okay, there's a couple of things about this.
Andrew: For me, a, moment is like first of all, they don't 30 seconds.
RJ: Okay, I'll touch about this real quick. There's a couple of things in this.
Cas: Yes.
RJ: The first.
Andrew: Part even shaking his head.
RJ: We never knew that Lynette was like a rock like, legend in this town. She's not. Apparently she is.
Andrew: There's a reason she hasn't sung in 1815 years.
RJ: But she's like a platinum record artist in this town. For some reason, they knew the song. Like, they're like, oh, yeah, we're the band in this town. Sudden wears the shirts, but they knew how to rock out to her songs.
Cas: No.
Speaker D: You guys are never going to guess where this movie was filmed.
Andrew: Second off.
Cas: What'S?
RJ: Second part of this scene, though, is a guy's guitar. That electric guitar is huge. And it's weirded me out still.
Cas: Yeah.
RJ: That thing is like the size of an acoustic. It should not be for an electric. I've never seen electric that thick.
Andrew: They exist.
RJ: I know they do, but that was crazy to see. All right, Mr. Cost, number two.
Speaker D: Do you guys want to guess? So you said Connecticut, at your house. Indiana.
Andrew: Toronto.
Speaker D: Oh, no joke. Toronto. Missago. Miss Saga. Yeah. Mississauga Ontario.
Cas: Okay. Canada.
Andrew: got massive write offs for, film companies that film, oh, yeah. film in Canada and also use a Canadian crew, for production companies. So I guarantee you if that was passed, by the time Disney was taking.
Speaker D: Advantage of it okay. and it only took two months. Two months to film May and June of two.
Andrew: They took two months to film this?
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: Not a week.
Speaker D: It says May to June 29.
Andrew: That's rough. That's rough. It took them two months to film?
Speaker D: You're surprised it took that long? Yeah, I don't know. Okay. My second moment is when the sister is captured by Dimitri the vampire, and she gets her phone call, and she picks it up and it's her lover. And she's like, yeah, I'm a little busy right now. And then Demetri takes the phone and throws it away. It was kind of like, literally I love that.
Andrew: There was a moment where he's like he looks like he's trying to figure out how to hang it up, and he can't. And so he just throws it.
Speaker D: Yeah. Classic Romanian move right there.
Andrew: british.
Speaker D: I don't know what he is at this point because they started speaking in tongues at one point. That was like, not a real language.
Cas: Oh.
RJ: When helsing yeah, they're.
Speaker D: Like, yeah, some fake Latin. but that literally made me go wet. That was my reaction to that. Just wet. ten out of ten would.
Cas: Hit.
Andrew: All right, now or then who. What awkward.
RJ: Both wrap it up, number three.
Andrew: Let's go. so mine's actually going to be right at that time with that ah, coffin in the water.
RJ: That's a good one. That was actually going to be my next one.
Andrew: I know it was up there for me with scenes, but come on, dude. You hypnotize people to come towards you, you turn into a bat, and all of a sudden you're like, kids.
Cas: 510Ft out.
Speaker D: He couldn't hypnotize the kid to paddle back.
Andrew: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker D: Like I said, selective powers.
Cas: Selective powers.
Andrew: Why couldn't you walk too strong for me.
RJ: Why m can't you turn your head on him?
Cas: What?
RJ: If he's going to hypnotize, why can't you turn your head on him?
Speaker D: Because then he'll jump on your back.
RJ: I don't know.
Andrew: Break your mom's back rate vibes going up.
Speaker D: Well, I think you don't have to look at him for him to hypnotize you.
Andrew: Yeah, no, I don't think that's the thing.
Speaker D: I feel like Lynette wasn't looking at.
RJ: Him when I thought no, they looked she was looking right at his eyes.
Speaker D: But then he went behind her, didn't he?
Andrew: I don't think that strong guy in the club was looking at him. also, he said, you're about to.
RJ: Go home eye to eye contact.
Andrew: Also, maybe it's going to be one of your mean maybe I'll save.
Cas: It.
Andrew: But the bouncer that kicked him out, why didn't he hypnotize that guy? He made clear eye contact with that guy.
Speaker D: He just got mad. He.
RJ: Said, my number videos.com three What Moment? Is actually going to be the scene where he gets actually kicked out of the club, bends the bikes, obviously knows that somebody is in that alley.
Speaker D: Oh, knows it's the daughter, and walks.
RJ: Up the wall anyways.
Andrew: He's like, hey, watch to this power I'm never going to use again.
RJ: Yes. So I was just like, what? You knew that somebody's there?
Cas: Obviously.
RJ: He looked around like, huh?
Cas: Somebody's here.
Speaker D: He even smirked.
RJ: Yeah, he did smirk. He's like somebody's here.
Andrew: Yeah.
Speaker D: He's like, check this out.
RJ: I'm going to do my Spider Man.
Speaker D: Check out this kick flip.
RJ: Watch these sick effects from Disney Channel.
Speaker D: Original movies, and he lead up the wall.
Cas: Yep.
Speaker D: All right, number three cost was my what moment? the fact that the brother sold his sister he sold his sister for that date with that guy that she didn't like just for the ticket to go see the Headless Horseman. I was like, what, man, I can't believe you did that to your sister.
Andrew: You can't believe that this kid did that to his sister? I was dumb wardrobe of that shirt.
Speaker D: I was dumbfounded that he would tell the guy he could go on a.
Andrew: Date with his sister of that one band, and you're like, that's weird. He would set someone up for tickets to this.
Speaker D: just yeah, I know. I was blown away by his audacity in that moment. And how bad of a mother Lynette was. That was my biggest what moment.
RJ: Maybe it's kind of actually crazy that.
Andrew: She didn't realize Lynette was a great mom to everyone else.
RJ: Her ex husband's getting married, and she.
Speaker D: Never knew that, too. I wish they would have brought the ex husband into the movie and then saves them from the vampire, and then they get back in together.
Andrew: Oh, wow. How cliche.
Speaker D: Yeah, fantastic plot twist. The ex husband is the club.
Cas: Owner, actually.
RJ: I feel like Lynette is like, Cartman's mom from South Park.
Speaker D: That reference at all. Yeah, she's been around town.
Andrew: I thought that's what we were saying. No.
RJ: Nobody knows who Carmen's dad is.
Andrew: I thought that's what we were no.
RJ: We get that she's been around town, but we obviously know in this movie who the kids parents are.
Speaker D: Do we? Do we? Maybe Demetrius was the I mean.
Andrew: Okay, better movie idea.
RJ: Better movie idea.
Speaker D: You can't make this movie better.
Andrew: What if the vampire was the ex husband and she just wasn't good enough to be vampire?
RJ: Oh, wait, he hypnotizes her to forget everything.
Speaker D: And the kids.
Andrew: And the kids also.
RJ: And the only person that knows is the little brother's.
Cas: Brother.
Andrew: The babysitter. The dog. The dog. The dog.
RJ: The dog's the only one. There's no dog in this movie, by the way.
Andrew: But this dog knows.
RJ: All right, the car salesman knows.
Speaker D: Top ten vampire movies.
Andrew: Top ten? I don't know if I can name five.
RJ: I can I can do this.
Speaker D: You can name a like, you can name a top ten of your vampire movies?
RJ: I think not. Top ten vampires. Number one.
Cas: What?
Speaker D: Go ahead, please. If you can name your top whatever.
RJ: It doesn't have to be ten. What we do in the shadows.
Andrew: Number that is number one for me, too.
RJ: Twilight. Twilight does not make my top.
Speaker D: Twilight doesn't make the top ten.
Cas: No.
Speaker D: what about that one? New one with Nicholas Cage?
Andrew: Oh, Renfield.
RJ: Renfield is fantastic. Yes, Renfield. Yeah, renfield is good.
Andrew: I haven't seen that one.
Speaker D: Is it on paramount. Peacock.
Cas: Peacock. Okay.
Speaker D: Peacock stepping up.
RJ: I watched Renford and then, actually.

Andrew: Yes.
Speaker D: Dracula and the brothers Hotel Transylvania.
RJ: Get out of here.
Andrew: No, this is the last episode that Cost is on.
RJ: What's that one?
Speaker D: That, you guys want to know something about Romanians and vampires?
Cas: What's up?
Speaker D: They didn't know who Dracula vampires were until like, 1995.
Andrew: Are you serious?
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: Even though Bram Stoker wrote Dracula in the 18 hundreds?
Andrew: Yeah.
Speaker D: Romanians did not know about that until the Internet.
Andrew: That's awesome.
Speaker D: Yeah, because, like, Communism, that sucks. But that's awesome. My parents came to America and they're like, what's a vampire? And I'm like, oh, God. It's kind of us. It's what Americans think we look like.
Andrew: bramstroker's dracula.
Speaker D: I own the book.
Andrew: It's a movie.
Speaker D: I have not seen the movie Fright Night.
Andrew: It is fine.
Speaker D: the book's not that great.
Andrew: It's basically a retelling of the book.
Cas: Watch.
Andrew: it for the special, effects and visuals. They do a really good job. A lot of the special effects are done.
Speaker D: Is it from camera sixty s or something?
Andrew: So it's actually shot like it's done in the 40s. They do a lot of the special effects in camera. but it's shot. it was in the really? Yeah, it's got, god, winona Ryder doing a horrible British accent. It's got Keanu Reeves doing a horrible British accent. It's got Gary Oldman as Dracula, which is actually a good pick.
Speaker D: also with the British accent, I'm assuming.
Andrew: Well, no, no, he's actually doing, ah, like a, it's got gosh, what's his name? Hannibal Lecter. Anthony Hopkins. It's got Anthony Hopkins as, van Helsing. Van Helsing, who is a weird pick. Not my favorite, but it's got, Carrie Elways in it, too.
RJ: 1992 is actually pretty solid.
Speaker D: 7.4. Oh, yeah.
Andrew: it's, Francis Ford Coppola.
RJ: I like the original Fright.
Andrew: Night. I'll put that I'm with you there.
RJ: Original Frightened. It's actually kind of fun. And actually, not really necessarily a vampire movie, but a monster movie with a Dracula in it. And Dracula is the main villain.
Andrew: Monster Squad. Monster Squad.
RJ: Yeah. Monster Squad. Shane Black. Monster Squad is another good one.
Andrew: Shane Black, who, co wrote and was in jack Black's Brother.
Speaker D: No, close.
Cas: Okay.
Andrew: he wrote and directed Lethal Weapon movies. He did. kiss kiss bang bang. He did nice guys. He co wrote and was in Predator and Predators. He wrote and directed. Monster Squad was great, though, dude. is a solid guy. And, he did Monster, Squad, which is like a crappier version of Goonies, but with monsters and, special, effects by Stan Winston, who did the special effects, like animatronics and, guts and gore for, The Thing.
RJ: so yeah, definitely a fun very 80s.
Andrew: Very 80s, but fun. Oh, yeah.
RJ: But fun. final thoughts, actually, really quick. What's your favorite vampire? We just go one just one favorite vampire. One favorite vampire while we're.

Andrew: It's really good, actually.
Cas: Okay.
Speaker D: I, can't remember his name, though. The blonde haired son. Alakard.
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: Alakar, is my favorite vampire as of right now. Castlevania on Netflix is very good, I will say, as the seasons go on, not as good, m, but the first season is really good. It's an 8.3 on IMDb. Highly recommend watching it if you haven't, really well done.

Andrew: All right, guys, final thoughts.
RJ: Final thoughts.
Speaker D: Go for it. I haven't watched this movie in a while. it was a movie I watched a lot as a kid, as I told you guys, because my sister was obsessed with vampires. so we had to watch it. I remember it being better than it was. It was not great. Will I watch it in the future, of course, because it's part of, like, nostalgia, but one through ten rating one through ten.
Andrew: watch rewatch. Watch hydrated. How would you recommend it?
Speaker D: Watch Hydrated? Who are you, Jeremy John or someone?
Andrew: I don't know who that is.
Speaker D: Literally, one of his score things is like, watch Hydrated or something like that. He's like a movie reviewer on YouTube.
Andrew: Anyways, I actually don't know that.
Cas: Okay.
Speaker D: out of ten, I give it a 5.8.
Cas: Okay.
Speaker D: Wow, that hurts. Yeah, and I'm a harsh critic, but, I think a 5.8 is fair.
RJ: Andrew, what you.
Cas: Got?
Andrew: I want to go a little bit lower. Really?
Speaker D: Yes. Fuck you.
Cas: I'm joking.
Andrew: Is that an offer?
RJ: We're getting spicy.
Speaker D: Only in the supermarket.
Andrew: Oh, my goodness. No, I'm four 4.5.
Cas: Okay.
Andrew: It's fine.
Speaker D: Stinker alert.
Andrew: Stinker alert fine. It's so inconsistent. There's not a lot of fun scenes for me.
Speaker D: how much better is Luck of the Irish?
RJ: Oh, my goodness.
Speaker D: It is a lot better. I thought Luck of the Irish.
Andrew: Just goes like, balls to the wall.
Cas: Wild.
Andrew: This is what with games and then the basketball game at the end. And you said there was no good basketball movie. Luck of the Irish.
Speaker D: You know what? You're right. No, luckily, Irish might actually be the best basketball movie ever made.
Andrew: this just felt kind of tame. Disagreed. I would have loved to see some.
Speaker D: Sight of the.
Cas: Steps.
Speaker D: You don't get bad in this movie.
Cas: Yeah. You.
Andrew: Get which is about the most you get.
Cas: Yeah.
Andrew: It's not for me. I have zero nostalgia for it. That's fair. Am I going to watch again?
Speaker D: No, you show your kids.
Andrew: Yeah. Have some kids. Six under. Yeah, sure. I'll throw it on. That's fine. It's harmless. But it's not one I'm going to rewatch.
Cas: Okay.
RJ: I probably put it at five. Personally. Five. I kind of agree with you guys in that.
Cas: Ballpark.
RJ: Probably, good for kids to watch. I wouldn't say six.
Cas: Maybe.
RJ: I think that they'd be a little scared and then they're going to want to sleep, kind of by your side. So I'd probably put it, I think.
Andrew: As far as, like, horror movies go, don't look under the bed.
Speaker D: That movie is terrifying.
Andrew: That one was better.
RJ: Was better. Halloween town is definitely better. this one, I'd still put it I mean, for a kid, if you're trying to make a Halloween lineup for movies, yes.
Speaker D: Put it in there.
Andrew: Throw it in.
RJ: Yes, throw it in there. Otherwise, as an adult, not necessarily. Maybe every five years, you want to throw it in there. Maybe if you want to shake it up a little bit, there's other as we talk about other movies that you can watch.
Speaker D: Get the kid drunk.
RJ: Oh, my gosh. we just went there on this show.
Speaker D: is this the worst movie you guys have watched? Did I recommend the worst movie?
Andrew: Okay. No.
Speaker D: Okay, good.
Andrew: We have seen some last week, we did a, far.
RJ: Worse at Fredy. I would watch this over five nights at Fredy's.
Andrew: This was scarier than five nights at Fredy's.
Speaker D: This was good. It was scary.
RJ: The only good thing, if you put.
Andrew: Matthew Lillard that babysitter was.
Cas: Scary.
RJ: If you put Matthew Lillard in this movie oh, my goodness.
Speaker D: It's not the guy that just that's.
Andrew: that's Matthew Perry.
Speaker D: That Matthew Perry.
Andrew: Matthew Lillard was one, of the two killers in, scream and then Shaggy in the, live action Scooby Doo. And he now plays, like, he does a voice for Shaggy now. That, man what's his name died.
Speaker D: I know who Matthew Lillard is.
Cas: Yes.
Andrew: He, was in Twin Peaks.
Speaker D: He was also in without a paddle.
Cas: Yes.
Speaker D: That's a fun movie.
RJ: He's in lots of things, especially in the 90s. He was, really in the 90s.
Speaker D: He was in five nights at Fredy's.
Andrew: Yes, he is.
Cas: What?
Andrew: Kind of broke the system because he was the only good character.
Cas: Yeah.
RJ: There's nothing we could really talk about except for Matthew Lillard.
Andrew: Damn.
Speaker D: But you like this movie, right?
RJ: This movie more than five nights at Freddy.
Cas: Okay.
Andrew: We have seen descendants one and descendants three, which are far worse. Do not bring up descendants. Two.
RJ: Do not touch Andrew's favorites.
Andrew: That is a perfect movie.
RJ: The perfect movie. Dragon versus octopus. That's all he cares about.
Andrew: Dragon versus octopus lady. I'm into it.
RJ: Have you guys watched the room?
Cas: No.
RJ: I have.
Andrew: you have? Several times.
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: That's a movie you guys got to watch.
RJ: I've watched the Disaster artist.
Speaker D: That's not the same experience The Room is, man.
Andrew: I tried to get, like, wear an.
Speaker D: Adult diaper if you watch that movie, that's the only way I could explain that.
Cas: Movie.
Andrew: I kind of wish Tommy was awarded adult diaper during the sex scenes.
Speaker D: Ah, yeah, exactly.
Cas: Yeah.
Speaker D: It's so good. It's so good.
Andrew: Have you seen any Neil Breen movies?
Cas: No.
Andrew: Oh, start anywhere there. Okay. Dude is wild. I think the only other good bad movie on that level was that we watched RJ Wasn't Here for wow.
RJ: Was, see that face right there? RJ wasn't here.
Andrew: Well, because you wouldn't allow it.
RJ: I, was running was human tornado.
Andrew: AJ, watched that with me. Okay. that's a future guest. Yeah, tomorrow. Well, next week, technically, but two weeks, but it's okay. Well, next week when we wrap this up that's cool.
RJ: As you try to figure this out, how to wrap it up.
Andrew: All right, if, you want to find us anywhere, you can look at us up online. Google exists. Backseat. critics. Be sure to unfollow. tell your friends to avoid us. anything like that. We don't care.
