Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch. Hi everyone, welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy and I love watching scary movies. And so I watch them so that you don't have to. We're missing Henley this week. We miss her. We love her. She'll be back. Cut her some freaking slack. The woman has been nonstop with being with us, even though she's got a lot going on. She's got a lot going on. Yes. She's doing great, but she's taking a
Starting point is 00:00:52 little break and we respect the choice. We respect the choice. We respect Henley. We really respect our friend Henley. Other than that, other than Henley not being here right now, Sammy, did anything scary happen to you this week? Uh, well, you know, I had a sort of scary thing where it's getting a little warmer in Los Angeles and I'm keeping those doors open. Sure. More than usual. And my house is a very, I live in an old apartment building where absolutely none of the doors
Starting point is 00:01:23 have airtight seals on the screens that's honestly inch gaps around every it's massive it's anything could get through to be completely honest any small animal probably basically yeah ew you know what i started there's been worms in here ah they like crawl in like earthworms like earthworms this happened twice and the cat i'll notice because the cats will just be sitting staring at a spot at the They like crawl in Like earthworms? Like earthworms This happened twice Twice? I'll notice because the cats will just be sitting Staring at a spot at the floor And it's just right at the door
Starting point is 00:01:53 Doorstep Sure So they must have Ew Wiggled in Ew Through the gap There isn't even like dirt nearby
Starting point is 00:02:02 What are they doing? They climbed up the stairs You have stairs at both doors what do they think they're gonna find in here nothing good death by cat uh so yeah i guess just the general increase in bugs in the house is the scary thing because actually the flying bugs you know how much i hate mosquitoes my number one enemy on this planet earth i want them wiped from existence um uh and so there's been these little flying insects coming in that i thought were little mini mosquitoes because you know they get so small there's the really small ones yeah and those are the bad ones those are
Starting point is 00:02:34 the fucking mean ones yes but whatever it is i was sitting at my desk working and just every five minutes a tiny little bug would fly right up in my face and I could I smashed it and killed it. And that's how I figured out they weren't mosquitoes because the mosquitoes are pretty good at evading death, at least in my experience, because I hunt them a lot. But these ones I kill and they're like little they're almost gnats. I'm going to I'm going to take a picture of one and post it. I need help identifying this mystery bug someone will know because it's a little bigger than a a gnat i can picture it i do know what you're talking about it's not a bathroom fly have you ever had bathroom flies those are so gross with their like round little circle wings and they will not even
Starting point is 00:03:21 try to escape death at all those Those ones are so easy to kill. I guess I'm just getting nervous and scared about the, the upcoming is bug season for battle in my apartment. Cause I have no protection from them. So any tips and tricks to minimize the bugs in, in my house, I put, I'm, I'm trying to reinforce the doors and the gaps
Starting point is 00:03:48 and fill them with little foam things. But, you know, I'm just going to be a crazy person all summer long. So stay tuned because we'll probably talk about this again. Anyway, it's good. We're going to have more updates for sure. Yep. Yep. Wish me luck.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I do. What about you, Emily? Anything scary happen to you this week? Well, for whatever reason, this year for my birthday, which which has passed, it's no longer my birthday. But my one thing I wanted to do was to watch The Sound of Music and specifically to make Joel watch The Sound of Music because he'd never seen it and had no interest. And I knew the only way I was going to get him to watch it is if I was like, this is what we're doing for my birthday. And so
Starting point is 00:04:32 our very lovely dear friends who have a wonderful home theater set up agreed to host us, which they did last night. Sammy, you know, you were there. And we watched The Sound of Music. I've seen it so many times. It's like my most Sammy you know you were there And we Watched the sound of music I've seen it so many times
Starting point is 00:04:47 It's like my most nostalgic Movie But I have not sat down and really watched It as an adult Which was a wonderful experience and a lot of things Hit differently As an adult which My biggest takeaway and we talked
Starting point is 00:05:03 About this last night The barrenness it totally rules an adult which is the biggest my biggest takeaway and we talked about this last night the baroness it totally rules i would challenge anybody who remembers the baroness as like the bad lady you know because she does temporarily you know she makes maria go back to the abbey or encourages maria to go back to the abbey for a little bit uh sorry if i'm spoiling the sound of music for anybody um but she's just like she's just trying to do what she can to keep her upcoming marriage intact. And then when she she knows that she's lost, she handles it with dignity. She is she's incredible.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I was like, this woman is amazing. Why are we not focusing on how cool the Baroness is? So that was a big one. That was a big one. And then another thing is so I've talked about on the podcast before that I had a past lives reading a couple years ago. I forgot about this. And she told me that two of my past lives, my most, I suppose, important past lives that have informed my soul were a nun who left the convict. Convict? You got convict on the mind i got convent
Starting point is 00:06:07 she left the convict maybe there was a convict she left a convent and formed a little like community in the in the woods so that was that was my one past life and then another past life was a puppeteer in world war ii and we're watching the sound of music and we've made it to the puppet scene and i was like oh my god i'm maria no that my past lives were just maria's journey no wonder you love this movie so much and you loved it as a kid it's because your soul recognized my soul recognized it as your past lives and joel did say he was like, he loved it. Spoiler alert. I fucking knew he would. He didn't want to see it. I was like, you're going to love it. It's a great movie.
Starting point is 00:06:50 But today he said, he's like, I feel like I understand you better now that I have seen The Sound of Music, which is a beautiful thing. And anyway, I just feel like anybody who hasn't watched it as an adult, yes, it's long. And yes, there are Nazis, um which is you know maybe not
Starting point is 00:07:08 a fun viewing but it was wonderful and i really it was like maybe one of my very best birthdays it was very fun i guess that's not scary but it was a good time it was yeah it was a great time i had a wonderful time i hadn't seen it as an adult either. It was wonderful. It was wonderful. Captain Von Trapp is so hot. Oh my god. Christopher Plummer is so hot. And I like knew that but again watching it as an adult I was like oh my god. What a man. Also I read somewhere that he like hated being
Starting point is 00:07:36 in that movie and I need to look more into that because that's really upsetting. Maybe that's the scary thing. Well he didn't do any of the singing and I was thinking about that a lot, that the only person maybe Liesl, but also Julie Andrews, the only people who do their own singing. So I was like imagining
Starting point is 00:07:52 them being on set and like speaking like what I was just I couldn't stop thinking about what those scenes were like in filming where they just speaking in the cadence of a song. And if so, that must have been really awkward or just singing poorly or singing really badly. Which also would probably be harder for the person acting against you.
Starting point is 00:08:08 To be like, no, this is good. I like this. That's acting, baby. I guess we got to know more about what that whole experience was like. But that is not the only movie I watched this week, Sammy. No, it's not. I also watched a very different movie. Which is this week's movie
Starting point is 00:08:25 and it is final destination three came out in 2006 directed by james wong which every time i always go oh james one and then i go nope james wong yep um directed the previous ones as well it's written by glenn morgan and james Wong, based on characters by Jeffrey Reddick. It is starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Ooh, baby. Ryan Merriman, Amanda Crew, Chris Lempch, Alex Johnson, Sam Easton, Texas Battle, Shelyn Simmons, and Yankay Crystal Lowe. And it is available to rent for $3.99.
Starting point is 00:09:03 A steal. An absolute steal. You're not going to regret it. And this week, we have a guest joining us to discuss this movie. She is an actor and comedian, host of fellow HeadGum podcast, Newcomers, and the podcast Freedom with our horror respondent, Paula F. Tompkins. She's also a member of the comedy group Wild Horses, which I would recommend anybody who isn't familiar checking out.
Starting point is 00:09:28 We are so happy to have her. Welcome, Lauren Lapkus. Oh, my God. I have so much to say about everything that's been said. Like, I'm just, I can't. First of all, the worms climbing the stairs. I'm really stressed. Like concrete stairs.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Getting into the house stresses me out. I'm like, that's a lot of effort for a worm and you have to be afraid of them. Anyway, I just had to say that I've been holding that for like five minutes, but, um, and sound of music I haven't watched in forever. Um,
Starting point is 00:09:53 but it was, it was a good movie. It was a cute movie growing up, but it does. I think I didn't realize that. I thought you were going to say the scary part you realize now was the Nazis, which I think took me a long time to,
Starting point is 00:10:02 um, understand. Certainly it read as a lot scarier as an adult and like given where we're at now just being like oh these are the biggest losers in the room but they got power and everybody has to fucking do it it's like it's so interesting yeah i think when i was little i was like this is the boring part i don't understand it's not colorful anymore yeah um but yeah oh but yeah. Oh God. Crazy. Um, my scary thing. If you want to hear my scary thing. Okay. So, um, my daughter is almost two and my husband
Starting point is 00:10:34 and I took her to a playground and this playground had like this, it was kind of like old, it was very new school in the fact that they have like the rubbery floor you know how now that's like a new thing at playgrounds when we were i mean when i was a kid you might be young enough that you did have that i don't know i feel like it was becoming a thing it was becoming it was certainly like oh it wasn't it wasn't standard it was usually like wasn't everywhere yeah okay we had lots of wood chips okay Okay. Yeah. Wood chips. Yeah. But anyways, they have that. Then they also have some things that are definitely old and like very metal based. And like this, they have, there's this slide that like looks like it's a huge sculpture. It looks like a big snake with its mouth open with a plastic tube in the middle. And that's where you go inside and like go down this tube. And the stairs to climb it
Starting point is 00:11:22 were metal rods that are like a foot apart each which to me is the whole length of a child yeah yeah so of like a six-year-old and up could do it themselves but so I like climbed up there holding her but as I was holding her I realized like the shoes I was wearing were horrible for doing I had like no traction and I was like this is actually I could fall like I could just fall with her it was so horrible but I couldn't go back because I had no like ability either way you're like well no and so then we went in the tube and I'm almost six feet tall and it was I mean it's not it wasn't made for me at all and so I was like I'm a big lady going in here now and then that was really hard and then I was like at the end I got out and triumphantly was like saying Something to my husband and then I stood up and
Starting point is 00:12:05 Bashed my head into the snake Sculpture and it hurt so bad And it was also embarrassing because I was like really Hitting your head in public is The worst I feel like Because you have to be like oh it doesn't hurt but It sometimes hurts so bad That you're like involuntarily crying
Starting point is 00:12:21 It was like my teeth are like Chattering like yeah I was literally like, oh my God. And then just like stood straight up into a structure. So especially what a fall from grace. You were so proud of yourself. I know. I know. It was really pathetic.
Starting point is 00:12:35 So that's my scary thing that happened to me. Parenting is really hard. Yeah. And that's my big takeaway. And that's why. And that's exactly why. And that's the only reason why, actually. Everything else, really easy. I hear, especially with a two-year-old, I think it's probably pretty standard stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:52 There's nothing to even say. Yeah. When I do that at home, if I stand up into an open cabinet door, I'll immediately burst into tears. It's just an instant thing. No, it's so horrifying when you have no idea something's coming like that. It's also just very surprising. Yeah. And to be surprised by pain is one of the worst ones. Not good. Not good. Really sorry that happened to you.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Thank you. That's really tough. It's kind of my final destination moment. It could have been. Yeah. Your head would have burst like a balloon. Just pop my brains everywhere. sets off a chain of events a little like plastered tooth of the snake falls into the ground and then it like triggers a little trip on that and your head falls into a grill and yeah um could have been that could have been funny actually um have been funny, actually.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Yeah, we will get into it. There's, you know, plenty, plenty of that to come. But Lauren, what is your relationship to scary movies in general? Okay, so I'm really, I would say I'm not much of a scary movie person. I tend to be freaked out. And I have, you know, I close my eyes at night after watching a scary movie, and I see like the worst thing from that movie, and I feel scared. So I kind of limit it to like I loved Scream growing up and I so I love all the Scream movies and then that kind of thing is the kind of movie I like. I also prefer a movie where there's a killer and the killer dies at the end. The story is closed. Right. They're not still out there. That happened one time and he's gone. I don't like when it's like a ghost. I don't like when it goes to the worst.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I don't like I don't like nuns with blood. I don't like like anything, anything like that, like exorcisms. I hate that. I can get very freaked out by that. So I tend to not watch a lot of scary movies. But every once in a while I I get roped into something. My husband loves them. So we'll watch stuff from time to time.
Starting point is 00:14:49 But I usually leave that to him and try not to. Yeah. Was there one as a kid that really stuck with you? Do you have a moment where you're like, oh, I don't watch these movies and maybe here's why? Honestly, the things that scared me, I don't even know what happened in the movie. But I remember there was an Ernest movie.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Do you know what Ernest movie is? Is he scared stupid? Probably. Or like he goes to camp or something. I don't remember which one. Someone has brought up Ernest before. Is there something where you have to kiss the monster on the lips in order to neutralize it? That makes a lot of sense and I hate that.
Starting point is 00:15:24 That's bad for many reasons. That's disgusting. I have to kiss the scary thing you hate otherwise it's gonna keep coming. Yeah but it was like I think there was something in that that freaked me out and then my brother making fun of me about that and making it scarier. So most of the time it was like the thing might not have been that scary but then talking about it and like making it scarier was the the part that stuck with me. Yeah. But yeah that's the first movie i think of as being a scary movie but i'm not even sure which one it was um i just tended to be very like i would never have wanted to see like it or something and i actually saw it in theaters and i was like this is i'm gonna be killed here like just something
Starting point is 00:15:59 bad is gonna happen here it just was so scary to me yeah i have a very hard time escaping the tension of the moment. Like, even in these movies, which are insane and very silly, like, in the build up to the bad thing, I'm like, it's, like, very hard to separate myself from anything scary. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I don't know how people do it. No, I will say with this kind of movie, though, and this is why I picked this, is, like, it's so campy that it's like it's almost funny. There are times that it's a little much, but like it's not really scary. You're just kind of especially because it's from like a perfect era to make fun of. I was like, this isn't going to really freak me out. There are points that I rewound it to see something again just to see how absurd it was, because some of the like death moments are so insane that you just have to see it again when we did
Starting point is 00:16:45 Final Destination 2 there's a person that gets completely pancaked by a falling pane of glass that is I think so hilarious he just completely explodes like completely the body disappears and that's just simply not what would
Starting point is 00:17:01 it's like when you did like flower pressing in your book only a body. Yeah. And it became juice. And they really, I think that these movies would probably be so much fun to write on because all you have to do is come up with, especially because they're all always like we're seeing like an insane chain reaction. That's like, it's never, it's like this thing runs into this thing, which rolls into that,
Starting point is 00:17:22 which it's like the mousetrap rube goldberg that makes no sense yeah exactly every single time no i said the same thing watching it like this would be so fun to write because you just have to go okay so then the most insane death i can think of and it doesn't have to be realistic at all not even a little bit in fact yeah maybe you'll remember you'll be able to help me out with this because in in watching it and then even in going back and taking notes i was like why does this lead to this like i'd be like they're showing like a thing leaking i guess that's important i don't know why i just know it leads to the thing that leads to the thing that leads to the death sometimes i feel like they have like misdirects
Starting point is 00:17:55 and you're just supposed to be stressed about everything that you see because any it's fun like standard object in the house becomes dangerous in a final destination movie so everything's dangerous you're just on edge uh you know a snake slide anything's fair game you know it's it's all it's all possible the worm that crawls onto your doorstep you could slip on that could be you could slip on the worm yeah your cat could be going for the worm you could trip on your cat yeah and your head falls into a grill yeah i also love being like, it's a clue about things. I'm like, there's no mystery. There's never a clue.
Starting point is 00:18:28 It's not a clue. What do you mean? We talked about this when we did especially Final Destination 2, which I feel like really goes a lot with this. Death is just like so bored. Death is just having, just like, what else can, I don't know, give him this clue and then make him go in here. And it's just like, just kill him don't know give them this clue and then make them go in here and it's just like just kill them what are you doing yeah it's
Starting point is 00:18:49 a fun time we're going to get into it I'm going to give us a little bit of trivia which is that the budget was 25 million and the box office was 119 million so nice great job good for them did pretty well they did pretty well it has a
Starting point is 00:19:06 43% on Rotten Tomatoes a 41 on Metacritic and a 5.8 on IMDB they like it more I was gonna say IMDB is usually harsher usually harsher but they they liked it um a little bit of trivia the so this opens with
Starting point is 00:19:22 a roller coaster sequence um and the cast members had to ride that roller coaster 26 times in the scene to shoot that scene which would be awful wait that's horrible not to mention the scene is about it breaking apart which is like
Starting point is 00:19:38 I don't want to do it so many times seriously that's that's what I think about all the time we talk about scary movies and the filming process being like I would be so worried that you would Always be like welcoming The thing to happen Yeah
Starting point is 00:19:52 Just by picturing it Yeah I mean they were okay but they did have to ride it 26 times and it isn't quite as intense As the rollercoaster in the movie They like you know added in like CGI, some extra loops and turns and stuff. But even still, that's a lot of that's a lot of time. Do you guys like roller coasters?
Starting point is 00:20:14 No, I'm done. I used to. I loved them as a kid. And now I love them as a kid. It was fun. And now they're so terrifying. I know they make me sick. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Go ahead. Oh, yeah. I like will every now and again. But I can tune my head about it. They often make me sick oh my god go ahead oh yeah i was like will every now and again but i i'm too in my head about it they often make me sick and also i'm scared yeah i went on the one at um california adventure uh-huh like the like big loop one yeah and i don't know if i didn't realize it was gonna go in a loop or something i don't know what but i was i went on it and i was so shocked that i was going upside down that i was so scared like it was truly like i was like i need to get off of here like this is so scary yeah and it was just not fun at all and then i felt sick the rest of the day like to my stomach
Starting point is 00:20:54 so it was just it was horrible i was like i think i aged out of this but yeah i remember joel and i went to disneyland last summer and we rode that one and i in my memory i was like oh this is like a fun road and it's disneyland it's a fun roller coaster and I in my memory I was like oh this is like a fun and it's Disney this is a fun roller coaster and similarly we went on I was like what the fuck like I was like this is not what I thought it was so fast it made me feel sick it just like shoots you out and upside down so fast I mean I guess
Starting point is 00:21:16 that's what a roller coaster is but yeah I was like this isn't for me I know well I also don't like when they go really slowly up like a wooden rickety thing up to the top and then you go down like that's so scary. I think I just don't. I think it's done. I think it might be done.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I also never really understood like the carnival rides as an adult. Like I'm like, I'm not going on that. No, carnivals in particular are terrifying. I went on a ride, the zipper, a famous one. I think people die, but people die on that one. I went on that when I was 10. It was so scary. Just the straight like up down with cages.
Starting point is 00:21:48 You're in like a cage and you're like rolling back and forth. Oh God. Like I was in line for that one. And I hate this. Like a screw or something fell out of it. So they stopped the ride and someone, a mechanic climbs up and starts screwing something back in. And he like gives the thumbs up. He's like, all right, go.
Starting point is 00:22:08 And I was next in line and I just got in. I was like, well, I'm about to die. And I just did it. I was like, well, I don't want to humiliate myself. So I guess I'll just die in this. I'll just die instead. A little death trap. That's so scary to see like a piece of it fall down.
Starting point is 00:22:24 He's like, I'll put this back like that's just not it shouldn't be happening yeah i have seen a few scary sites at county fairs there those rides are not safe well they they're not they take them down and put them up all over the place no absolutely not absolutely not and you know this movie it's not gonna it's not gonna encourage you against that feeling um right. A few casting what ifs. We had, remember this is 2006, which feels like this is some 2006 casting here. Love it. Ashley Tisdale auditioned for the role of Erin.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Didn't get it. Vanessa Hudgens auditioned for the role of Julie. Very 2006. Oh. Either of them would have been great. It could have been a high school musical. Horror reunion. It could have been.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Maybe they were like, uh oh, we can't do that. Yeah. Disney got involved and thought, no, no, we don't want them to be seen this way. Yeah. After reshooting the ending. So they had to reshoot the ending because people like, you know, premiere. Not what do you call it? The audience test audience was not not happy with the ending.
Starting point is 00:23:23 So they had to do a reshoot in the winter of 2005. The production on the film finally wrapped. This can't be true. Anyway, it's an IMDb. And you know that I never fact checked that. But IMDb says the film wrapped on January 31st, 2006. And the film opened on February 10th. That's not possible.
Starting point is 00:23:41 That's not possible. Even if they just reshot like one the ending that's insane when that's crazy I don't when did they when did they shoot the film they just reshot the end the ending so I guess the whole rest
Starting point is 00:23:57 of the film was like ready to go is just like a scene I'm trying to remember if it's just in her room I think it's part of the subway part. Oh, right. The subway, but still like,
Starting point is 00:24:08 and I think I tried to do some research. So I'll, I'll say it when we get there. I tried to do some research on what the ending was and I found very little information. So it's, I don't know. It was actually the part with the rat that they reshot.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Cause that would be, you can do that. You can get that done. A little rat. Sammy, you're going to love it. Sorry. There's a rat. I love rats. I should would be, you could do that. You could get that done. They just added in a little rat. Sammy, you're going to love it. Sorry, there's a rat. I love rats.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I should not be scared from this rat. No, I think the rat makes it out just fine. Okay, great. Yeah, the rat lives. Yeah, this is a success story for the rat, for sure.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Okay, and then here's a bit of trivia that I absolutely hate and I'm going to put it onto you guys because I had to learn it. Chellin Simmons didn't want to do the tanning booth scene topless. But she agreed after the director convinced her that it was necessary because it made it more realistic.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Oh, nice. OK, that's the worst reason. It was so because none of it's realistic. It's not like bacon inside of a tube. It's not real. So that's one thing to be like, well, you have to be topless because it's not realistic if you're not. And another thing to be like, this is the scene is your tits the whole time.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Like it's just closeups on their tits. You don't even see their face. Like, but then they could have had a stunt double or like, you know, a body double if they, if she really didn't want to. But that's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:22 When I got to that scene, I was like, this is so 2006 like you know or just the past to be like yeah and we just zoom in on the tits frying and zoom in on her tits frying and zoom yeah this is insane it's really it's this is crazy it's honestly the biggest part of the scene um yeah our yeah that's unfortunate don't love it and it goes on for so long so long that death we'll get there but that one now and stuff um
Starting point is 00:25:49 it was a closed set but you know I still don't love being like no no we have to it's more realistic you'll feel fine no and it's a closed set but then yeah right but then it's just like it's a closed set and we're gonna like it's gonna the camera's gonna move past you you know it's like no no no it's a closed set and then the world forever will uh just stare at your tits for five straight
Starting point is 00:26:09 minutes um that sucks yeah hate that so well hope they're hope they're doing okay maybe the residuals are good yeah to balance it out a little bit and then last little bit of trivia is that ryan merriman and mary elizabeth winstead also started together in the ring to the year before. So a little horror, little horror friends. That's crazy. And now, Lauren, I had wanted to ask you, how how familiar are you? Did you ever growing up watch any of the Disney Channel original movies? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:38 So do you recall Ryan Merriman from, you know, Smart House? Yes. I couldn't place him, but Mike told me that's who that was I was like oh yeah And the luck of the Irish Oh too big too big ones I don't remember the luck of the Irish It was great
Starting point is 00:26:54 He's a basketball Thank you he's a basketball player who turns into a leprechaun His family is Irish And he finds out And then it leprechauns go It's really He's like from a family of leprechauns And he has to like learn how to
Starting point is 00:27:11 And he didn't realize that his whole family Are actually leprechauns But they're a normal size and then he starts shrinking It's really An interesting time It feels like they just took Teen Wolf and they were like Let's make it leprechauns. It's worth a watch. It's worth a watch for sure.
Starting point is 00:27:27 It's worth it. It sounds wild. It really is. And he, so that's like my brain's association with Ryan Merriman. And he was great in it. Does he have spiky hair in this? He has, yes, but also flat. It spikes down like bangs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Yeah. It's so 2006. It really was was some of the hair oh man the hair how about that guy with the big poofy black hair it was like sort of ryan cabrera-esque very much which was a total moment yeah it was so huge and mary elizabeth winstead's hair the like the swoop bangs to one side. I had that exact haircut. I think I had it for 20 years. Yeah, I had it for a really long time. And the low rise flares.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Oh, my God. The style. Oh, and the first scene, the style is just crazy. The fashion is out of control with the thong sticking out and the blue and the pink. Which is coming back. Thong sticking out? Thong sticking out or coming back? I have seen some thongs sticking out again the blue and the pink. And I was like, this is just thong sticking out. Thong sticking out or coming back. I have seen some thongs sticking out again.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Oh no. Why is that so sick? That was crazy. I feel like, well, we were like kids and that's when that was happening. I mean, I was old enough to do it,
Starting point is 00:28:38 I guess, but I didn't do it. But it was, that's so, it's like all, it's usually just teenagers doing that, which is even. Yeah, it's awful.
Starting point is 00:28:51 As an adult now, you're like, that's really disgusting that your full ass crack is out. And I can see your whale tail. It's shocking. It's shocking. It's absolutely shocking. It's absolutely appalling. It's meant to be under. It's underwear. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:29:03 It's called that, ladies. Ay, ay. But yeah, a lot of that going on in this movie. And I guess to give us a little bit of a visual, we should watch this trailer. Oh, I can't wait. Oh, great. The ones who got off that roller coaster are still going to die. Unless we can figure out how to stop it. I never thought I could see my own death before it happened It's actually a really good trailer
Starting point is 00:29:57 It's a very good trailer It gives you everything you want and nothing else Yeah and it doesn't give it away It really doesn't Weirdly Yeah I thought it was going to be like the whole thing. Sometimes I feel like old trailers used to just show you the entire movie.
Starting point is 00:30:10 No, it really is a good trailer. I was quite pleased. It's fun to show us little peeks of those last two movies. It's like I'm getting excited again. Remembering those and being like, oh right, this is what I'm in for. Remember how crazy that was? Remember that? Yeah, and I'm not sure if I saw those I think that
Starting point is 00:30:25 maybe I did like at the time but I don't really remember but yeah they don't really ring a bell on that trailer for me the plane crash sometimes things that are too real like that it's just too much I think that's the scariest opening of the movies I've seen well the logs on the back of the truck has haunted me
Starting point is 00:30:41 the logs is scary I mean I always think that's going to happen I don't know if that's from this or yeah. I feel like a lot of people have that instinct to now. The thing that haunts me from the um from 2 is the thing under the brake. Oh. Like a
Starting point is 00:30:56 water bottle or something that gets stuck. I gotta say Sammy you when you were driving the other day you had one of your sandals off and it was down there by your brake and it took everything in me to not be like Sammymy get your fucking shoe out of here yeah that's not safe okay don't do that don't do that next time sammy i know you do a lot i've seen you do it before um i'll move it back just put it to the passenger side okay just put it to the passenger so you like to take your other shoe off when you're driving i sometimes take them both off
Starting point is 00:31:22 it's illegal don't report me it's illegal yeah it is illegal to drive barefoot isn't that weird yeah well i guess it kind of makes sense because it's kind of harder to get good pressure on the you know how i found out it was illegal do you guys remember that show and now i can't remember what it's called but it was two guys that would compete it's on comedy central or mtv or something and they would have a theme each episode and there was one episode where the thing they were competing for is who can break the most laws and the sounds very
Starting point is 00:31:49 that was and get away one of them was like I'm gonna drive without my shoes on and I was like a really easy one to get away with he was killing it though no one can see because he was like I'm not impressed my dude I know but he was wait why do you like to do it I need to hear more about this
Starting point is 00:32:05 it just feels comfortable and now it's like habit i'm not even i don't actually even think about it i just take my shoes off when i i don't know yeah i guess it just feels comfortable also these shoes are kind of funny i find it interesting i do it when it's hot sometimes i gotta just get my shoes right off my feet yep Yeah. But other than that. Yeah. Okay. I mean, you're right. I mean, the dangers maybe outweigh the benefits. I mean, I'm fine with the barefootedness. The law disagrees, but I just move.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Just put the take them off and put them in the passenger footbed, you know, break. Even if you have a passenger there, I will sit with your shoes. Could you hold my shoe, please? I won't hold them, but I'll put them in my feet. Oh, I'm about to drive. Can you please with your shoes i don't mind my shoe please i won't hold them but i'll put them in my feet oh i'm about to drive can you please hold my shoes um anyway yes a lot of these things it's really interesting how i had never seen this movie but i knew of the deaths from this movie some of them like yeah there were things that just existed in pop culture because of these movies that it was impossible to not know about.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Yeah, I think the part that was really funny, which showed how much I didn't know the movies, was that in the first scene, like what's the character's name? The girl, the main girl? Wendy. She's like getting nervous. And then the whole accident happens on the roller coaster. And I was like, oh, my God, they killed everyone in the first five seconds and it was like in her mind and then i was like oh and then mike was like you didn't know that wasn't it that's the whole thing i was like what a huge twist i'm watching this for the first time so lauren you this is your first viewing
Starting point is 00:33:40 of any final destination movie and you jumped in i think so but i also i just have a really uh bad memory for movies and stuff so it's possible i've seen them but i just didn't know and i definitely didn't know that was like how they work where it was like it's in her mind and then and then it happens yeah yeah um well in the past few years i have hit a point where i only want to be wearing clothes that are comfortable it happened it. It happened to me. But you know what? I still also want to look cute. And these are two desires that are often extremely opposing. And I don't want to have to sacrifice. I want both. I want comfort and I want to feel cute and confident. And guess what? Skims has freaking done it again with their soft lounge collection.

I'm ready. We got our opening title sequence, which is a very spooky carnival. We're getting, like, tarot cards and ominous music and a carousel
Starting point is 00:36:39 going around and, like... It was fully Are You Afraid of the Dark? I was like, this is... and it was 10 minutes long. It was fully are you afraid of the dark um i was like this is and it was 10 minutes long i did watch the whole thing because i was like i think i need to know what's going to happen here but i was like this isn't allowed now like we don't let this happen like we were watching sound of music last night we were remembering like oh man opening title sequence used to be really long and i said actually they did this in final destination three they take just as long to tell you everybody but we don't have that patience now
Starting point is 00:37:06 we don't want to we don't the names can be like tiny in the corner while like a scene is happening yes show me something else like yeah I like the thing they do in trailers now as if a trailer is still too long for our attention span in new trailers they'll play a mini trailer in front of the trailer
Starting point is 00:37:22 to be like here's a preview of the trailer have you guys noticed that on YouTube videos? It'll be here's like a five second trailer for the trailer. It's so stupid. Yes, they do that. That's really sad. I don't know. Like bigger movies.
Starting point is 00:37:34 And it's crazy. I think they did it on Scream 6. That's insane. Our attention spans are so low. I can attest. Mine is bad. It's short. Completely short.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Yeah, mine's horrible. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so we're in this fucking title sequence for 10 minutes and then we are At a carnival we are at The carnival theme park type Thing we learned that it is grad
Starting point is 00:37:56 Night and we have our Four friends Seniors getting ready to graduate we've Got Carrie and Kevin Kevin is Ryan Merriman they're a couple and then we have wendy and jason and they're a couple and we see that carrie jason and kevin were on that ride that goes just up and down and up and down your little feet dangle up the front you know yeah they're doing that and they get off and they loved it and and wendy wasn't on it she's
Starting point is 00:38:24 we're getting the sense she doesn't love a roller coaster. But she takes a picture of them. I have a question. Yeah. Is Wendy in the previous movies or no? No. Okay, good. This is I found it really interesting how scared she was.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Immediately. Immediately. I was like, like, I just thought, oh, maybe she's in the old movies. And then that's why she's always afraid of everything. No, she's just really afraid. And I was like, this isn't scary to me as a viewer to watch someone be really afraid of a carnival. Like it's there's nothing happening. She's immediately way too freaked out for the circumstances.
Starting point is 00:38:55 And we see so she's taking pictures on her little got like a little Canon digital camera. Very nostalgic for me. Mary Elizabeth Winstead. This is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Character named Wendy. And so she takes a picture of him on the ride and we see she looks back at her picture and the ride is called the high dive. And she looks at her picture and in her picture
Starting point is 00:39:11 the V isn't lit up. And so it just says high die. And she's like, gets freaked out about that. Like I was glad I was watching it with Mike because I was like, why do I care? He goes, now it says high die. I go, oh, oh, I was like, what? So the V's out? now it says high die. I go, oh, oh. I was like, what? So the V's out?
Starting point is 00:39:26 Like, I did not get that. And I'm not dumb, OK? No, it feels very like, immediately it's just like, you get these movies, right? Yeah, yeah. Because I haven't seen them. Yeah, yeah. I was like, so the V went out? What is it?
Starting point is 00:39:39 Is it the fifth? And he's like, that's the part that doesn't matter. It's high die. High die. It's not about a V. It's not a movie about V's. the part that doesn't matter. It's like, I die. It's not a movie about bees. The letter B doesn't matter. But she is a little freaked out.
Starting point is 00:39:50 But then they quickly, you know, like, oh, let's go. We got to go. They have tickets for the Devil's Flight roller coaster at 915. A little timed entry. And they're all excited. And they decide we're going to get some food first. They're going to get some fried Snickers. And they're talking this whole time i fucking love these movies the way that their characters are just
Starting point is 00:40:09 like oh i can't eat if i uh eat snickers before i go on the roller coaster i'll die and then one of them goes a fried snickers won't kill you they're just like saying kill die 10 000 times because also you wouldn't say you would die. You would say I'll barf. You wouldn't say I'm going to die if I eat this. It's not going to kill you. Yeah. So they go and they sit down to get some food.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Wendy, we learn, is taking these pictures for the yearbook. And then the other girl says that she's going to dump her boyfriend and he comes back to the table all happy. And I was like like that was really mean like she just like told the other girl like I'm gonna dump him really soon I can't deal with this and he comes back he's like I got the Cheetos or whatever
Starting point is 00:40:52 they're having that's so that's and he this is also this is extremely 2006 I just feel like we need to remember what that was like in media and in the world and he she's taking pictures of the yearbook so she's taking pictures of everyone yearbook so she's taking pictures of everyone and kevin who's ryan merriman he takes her camera from her and takes an upskirt photo of a girl walking by that was insane and they all are just like oh come on guys
Starting point is 00:41:16 girl walks by in a short skirt he sticks his arm out so fast takes a picture and then he's like and um mind you this is like one of our protagonists and yeah we're supposed to care about him and so that's why he goes to then get the food for them and that's when Wendy says to her friend Carrie she's like I don't know how you put up with him
Starting point is 00:41:36 I'm such a control freak that I just could never date a guy like that has nothing to do with that and that's a sexual predator like it's okay i'm gonna break up with him um after we graduate and then yeah then he comes back oh it was after the skirt thing it was after the skirt thing okay it's a little better it's a little better but it still is like i don't know i think that's maybe a unforgivable thing he just said and we need to address it i think you should break up with him now and tell him that he sucks
Starting point is 00:42:02 yeah break up with him on the spot yeah that shows sucks. Break up with him on the spot. Yeah, that shows how much we did not care about that at the time. We're like, so he's just annoying. I gotta break up with him. He's one of those guys. Yeah, it's not great. Let me sort of get introduced to like who all the other little high school characters are via
Starting point is 00:42:19 the photos that Wendy's taking of them. She's like responsible for these grad night photos for the yearbook. So we get, um, Ashley and Ashlyn, who are the hot girls. You can see their, their whale tails.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Um, she takes a picture of them. Do we have a, a guy named Frankie cheeks? Incredible. Character name. Which one is that? He's the bald guy with the camcorder.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Oh, yeah. Yeah. And Frankie cheeks. We learned, uh, he graduated a couple years ago he's like he's the archetype of like the older guy who's like still hanging around and um is terribly objectifying to these women then we have our football jock um who's doing that like hammer on the thing that makes the bell strong. He's a strong guy.
Starting point is 00:43:10 This goth couple with the biggest, tallest, poofiest jet black hair you've ever seen. These are different groups of people. They're not all there together. We're just getting glimpses. They're going to be on the rollercoaster together presumably, but they're not.
Starting point is 00:43:26 They will be on the roller coaster. They're not all buddies. They'll know each other. It's like this is our high school class, basically. And then as they're heading over to the roller coaster, Wendy sees her sister who isn't supposed to be there. She's not a senior. And the vibe. This is Amanda Crew.
Starting point is 00:43:43 And her vibe is insane. She is. This is like, honestly, iconic. I know her vibe is insane. This is like honestly iconic. I know her from Silicon Valley. So then to see her in this. Oh my God. It's so funny. She has on like a paperboy hat that's like cocked down over one eye.
Starting point is 00:44:01 And her hair is like stick straight as it was at the time, you know, in the fashion. Incredible. And it was, she's like so bitchy to her sister it was just an amazing little moment i was like this is so cool to have this as something you've done in your career because it's just it just captures a moment in time it's so and and like probably huge for her at the time yeah oh for sure yeah like incredible yeah uh she beat out vanessa hudgens right right um but yeah so she she, Wendy's like, what are you doing here? You're not a senior. And she goes, oh, hi, Miss Cutest Couple Ra Ra, which is like to make fun of her.
Starting point is 00:44:33 It was so weird and bizarre. But Wendy takes a picture of her to be like proof for mom and dad that you were a grad and that you're not supposed to be. Then they get to the roller coaster and Wendy does not want to go on this this roller coaster she's been terrified the whole night oh my god and there's a moment where it's like she has to go through the turnstile and it's like once you go in you cannot leave ever or whatever and so she like clicks in and she's like ah she's like so scared so this woman is having a breakdown she's so scared it's it It's truly, it's actually kind of annoying as the viewer because you're like, I think that we should
Starting point is 00:45:08 get to the point where she gets scared. Right? Yeah. Right. You don't want to start there. She's so instantly terrified of everything. It was like, you have a problem. This is not something that's happening. Yeah. And she does say, we have a little moment between her and Jason. Jason's her boyfriend
Starting point is 00:45:24 where he's like, you know, I think like fear of roller coasters is about fear of losing control. And you're such a control freak that we she says she's a control freak 50 times in this movie. And again, I don't think it's an important. No, we never get that sense at all. No, she's that's not it's not true. It's not true.
Starting point is 00:45:41 But she has believes this narrative about herself and so does everybody else. And so it's like, it's just your fear of losing control. Like, it's going to be fine. She's like, yeah, it's not true but she has believes this narrative about herself and so does everybody else and so he's like it's just your fear of losing control like it's gonna be fine and she's like yeah it's okay i i can do it but she's very freaked out he's her boyfriend he knows this but then it's time to get on the roller coaster and she's like oh i can't ride in the front i'm way too scared to ride in the front and he really wants to ride in the front and so he and kevin flip a coin of like who's gonna have to go to the other car with his girlfriend and kevin loses so kevin has to go ride in the back with her and her boyfriend's like see at the end like you're gonna be fine i'm like if you're so concerned fucking go in the back with her yeah high school man i don't know no he didn't care he didn't care
Starting point is 00:46:18 so carrie the friend and jason her boyfriend are at the front In a different car and Wendy and Kevin go to Get in it It's like I think it's one of those roller coasters Parallel tracks So they're like basically in a fully different Track than the other ones They get they're in row
Starting point is 00:46:40 Six not six six six Just six but Wendy looks at it And it like zoom. She's so scared. Oh, my God. Yeah, it feels it all feels like she's scared way too soon. Yeah. Is there does there end up being just because I know in Final Destination two.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Similarly, she's very freaked out, but it's because she's seeing things that are from the previous movie. Are any of these tying back to the previous movies at all? Because there's no in the second one, she's seeing a bus from the high school that it happened to in the first movie. And she's like, oh, that's a bad sign. So they're just choosing arbitrary objects for her to be scared by. A hundred percent. It's that the V disappeared and that it's the number six and it's the thing that says like no going back which is like part of the roller coaster. Yeah which everyone is reading. I mean she has like
Starting point is 00:47:31 no reason to be afraid. There's not like a history for her of something bad. Is there right? Like no. So she's just being really weird. She's just being really weird. I don't know why they wouldn't use the device from the Final Destination 2 where she knows about the previous one and
Starting point is 00:47:47 is getting... No, and in fact, she definitely doesn't know about it. We'll get to that, but she 100% doesn't know about it. She is Lauren in this situation. She doesn't know that this has ever happened before. But she's really freaked out. She gets into the seat with Kevin and Kevin's
Starting point is 00:48:04 being nice to her and is like, it's going to be fine. Come on. the seat with Kevin and Kevin's like being nice to her. And it's like, it's going to be fine. Come on. You know, you can do it. Um, and they get in their car. They're about to take off. They put their little, you know, lock themselves in. And Kevin, there's gum on his thing.
Starting point is 00:48:16 And he's like, oh, he gets his hand stuck in gum. But then it's time to go. Let's send that, send that roller coaster off. And we see, this is where I was like Lauren maybe you understand this more than me we see like a pipe leaking somewhere on the roller coaster that I was like that's clearly important but I would have
Starting point is 00:48:34 no way of telling you what that does or why it matters but they zoom in a lot so you're like okay I think it shouldn't be I know I think you're trying to like explain why it's getting fucked up but it's like everything just starts breaking everything just starts breaking there's no fucked up, but it's like everything just starts breaking. Everything just starts breaking. There's no way this leak made it all
Starting point is 00:48:49 happen. Yes. People's harnesses are coming open and then people are falling next to them. And then it's just chaos. Wheels start flying off of the roller coasters. Bodies are going off. A. Many bodies are going off.
Starting point is 00:49:05 A bunch of bodies are flying out. Then like someone gets fully chopped in half, right? Isn't there somebody? Yeah. Is that later? I mean, it's all, it all feels like it sort of happens at once. I got to say, I, I feel like there was so much opportunity with the roller coaster situation to like really make some interesting deaths happen.
Starting point is 00:49:26 And instead, it's just like it just dumps everybody out onto the ground. Yeah. One person does. The jock guy gets like flown out and he's holding on while he's like Ryan Merriman, like grabs his hand and he's flying and he gets like flown into the side of the thing and drops and dies. And he gets like flown into the side of the thing and drops and dies. And then because Ryan Merriman's out of his seat, there's a bar that's just jutting out that does chop him in half. And so then hamburger style. And so he's half his body sitting next to Wendy, who's screaming and freaking out.
Starting point is 00:50:01 They end up going upside down. And for whatever reason, it like stops upside down. And so now they're all hanging and holding on and like one by one people are like, I can't hold on anymore. And they let go and they drop and die. And then then Wendy gets flown out and we see her
Starting point is 00:50:18 falling to her death and right as she hits the ground she comes to back in her seat. She's the one that ride Has a premonition She's the one People can I was like Praying this whole time
Starting point is 00:50:30 Have it not be her Because she's too nervous And anxious Nobody's gonna Fucking believe her Exactly They thought she was insane They wanted to take her
Starting point is 00:50:38 To an institution Damn it Everyone immediately Like she gets up She's like Nobody get on this ride I gotta get on this ride Yeah so she
Starting point is 00:50:43 She's back in the rollercoaster seat And it's typical in final destination the same thing she he she sees him find the gum again and that hurts her being like oh my god we gotta get off before and yeah i mean it's like i gotta get off in real life did not like real life once they cut back to reality he doesn't care that there's gum he's like what he's like touching this gum he's like what it's like you still would think it was gross. Like, that's okay. Yeah. Also, I was like, this was the part.
Starting point is 00:51:09 So when she died, I was like, oh, so it's going to be like a whole different cast. And they kill those people immediately. And then it's like we meet the real people. Yeah. And then I was like, oh, it's in her eye. Yeah. She saw it all. Do you guys remember when Fabio got hit in the face by a goose?
Starting point is 00:51:26 Yes. On a roller coaster. Oh my God. Yes. Yeah. So bad, you know, it's possible. This is a realistic film. Some bad things can happen on roller coasters.
Starting point is 00:51:35 What if they'd had a goose fly? When in time did that happen? Had that already happened when this movie came out? Because if they chose to not use a goose and then it already happened in the world, that would be really upsetting missed i think about how scary that was for fabio i feel like we all were too busy like making fun of it it would be i think he got really hurt he got really hurt yeah his nose is like bloody yeah the goose died well no one talks about that enough yeah yeah that's it let's talk about
Starting point is 00:52:01 the goose um yeah that would be that would be really bad um but she freaks out and they they stop the ride they pull her off kevin gets off with her and then basically one by one all the people on their car uh oh what happens is god fucking 2006 lewis the football player so wendy's freaking out ke Kevin gets off with her. They're like talking to security and she's like, I saw the ride's gonna crash. Everyone's gonna die. And Lewis gets off the ride and says, hey, to Kevin,
Starting point is 00:52:34 can you control that bitch? Oh boy. Yeah, that kind of language comes out quite a lot. Quite a lot. And Kevin comes up to me and goes, you know, man, you're a real piece of shit Louis fuck you and he goes Fuck moi
Starting point is 00:52:47 Get into a fist fight And so they get escorted off And basically the chaos just they're like Hey everybody on this car you gotta get off The ride and so that's Ashlyn And Ashley Frankie Cheeks Kevin, Wendy, Louis
Starting point is 00:53:04 And the guy with the big Black hair and his girlfriend they all get Frankie Cheeks Kevin Wendy Lewis and the Guy with the big black hair and his Girlfriend they all get off the ride And Jason her boyfriend is seeing this on the Other car and is like hey that's my girlfriend let me off I want to go help her like let me off and they're like Nobody else is getting off the ride like let's go
Starting point is 00:53:20 Start the ride which also Feels like a crazy thing to be like you can't Keep him there if he i mean i guess they can he wants to get off but he didn't i guess you know the sign said there was no going back once he got on that's true and they did tell and everybody could read that it wasn't just yeah yeah so they escort her off and she sees that they start setting the roller coaster off with jason on it and she starts freaking out again uh because she knows her boyfriend's about to die and they yeah they escorted her out they're like we need to call what is your home phone number they're like you crazy you crazy ladies uh really really being
Starting point is 00:53:54 awful to her and just get the fuck out of here like they did not care at all that she was upset like they were just like just shut up just like they just did not like how she was freaking out and um i also was thinking that her part in this movie is really hard because she has to like scream and cry a lot for the entire thing she basically is only like really upset or bawling or just like begging someone she's great yeah she's great in this yeah so then do the does everyone then take her seriously i guess guess I forgot about that element. Is that when you see it happen for real, then it's like, oh, she was right? Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:32 No, they don't. They escort her out and the security guard is asking, you know, like, what's your home phone number? And then they all hear a loud crash and they see people flying out of the roller coaster and she is sobbing and freaking out because Jason has died. Cut to she's at
Starting point is 00:54:54 high school. She's cleaning out Jason's locker. There's like one of those things up on a bulletin board with everybody's pictures and candles and a lot of people died on that roller coaster. A lot. And Mike said that I guess they got to that in memoriam part much quicker
Starting point is 00:55:12 than the past movies. I would say this movie runs so quick. Yes. It's just immediately like, yeah, they all died. Which, by the way, that's like hugely traumatic. Like it was a roller coaster, like the roller coaster exploded and all of your friends died and then they're like keep going 20 people plummeted to their deaths right behind you
Starting point is 00:55:32 awful then nobody is dealing with this trauma appropriately they all so yeah she's like walking through school you know sad and alone and being rained on and everyone is sort of looking at her like she's kind of a freak as she walks by. I mean, they feel sad for her, but they're they don't think of her as like a hero who saved their lives. They're just sort of like sad for her. Boyfriend died. Pretty weird. Pretty weird night. And the rest of them who got off the roller coaster all sitting together or like under an overhang, signing each other's yearbooks.
Starting point is 00:56:03 This is where we learn that the goth guy um the high school is mckinley high school and his last name is mckinley he's like how lame is it that my last name is the name of my high school and ashlyn and ashley are there and they see wendy walking by looking all sad and they're like we should be we should like do and the portrayal of these women is How old were they the actors Because now you're saying this about this I mean they would have had a person not wanting To do that scene I'm like she wasn't a child But like she would be really young
Starting point is 00:56:33 Yeah they seem a little Older like they have the energy of like 20s but yeah But yeah young but they come over To her and they're like hey we're going tanning For graduation after this like do you want to come with us uh here's our phone number and as they walk away they're like god that was so nice of us we're like so nice um to have invited her and this is at the point where i'm like oh god the tanning bed oh no yes um i had heard of this one
Starting point is 00:56:59 uh but kevin comes up to her and he's the only one who's like oh my god you like saved our lives I know and so he tells her this has happened before and they're walking in the rain and they're both acting like that doesn't matter at all soaked absolutely drenched you can go under something or acknowledge that it's wet yeah it's very wet where you are um and she says something to him like you know we don't even like each other. We wouldn't be friends if it weren't for I was dating Jason. You were dating Carrie. Like, we don't have to act like we're friends.
Starting point is 00:57:34 He's like, I did some research to try to figure out, you know, what happened to us. And this has happened before on flight 180. A group of kids were going. And so, you know, Lauren, for you, a group of kids are going on a flight to Paris. I was happy for the info. And one of them had a premonition and he got off but then in the you know all the people who got off the plane started dying in freak accidents and she's like doesn't want to hear it isn't buying it she's like shut the fuck yeah we're not friends leave me alone shut up get away like in the car she's like that's so fucked up of you to say because he's like we're gonna die yeah um yeah he's really
Starting point is 00:58:05 he's really trying to work this out with her and she's not having it um and she gets home and then if she has interaction with her sister julie who again julie fucking hates her um she comes in her room again the most traumatic thing that could ever happen to anyone has happened and she's wendy sitting at her computer and next to her on her desk is this charm bracelet and julie storms in and it's like oh grandma left this charm bracelet to me in her will like i can't believe you have it this is my charm bracelet and like storms out and wendy turns around crying and she's like hey i'm having a really hard time oh yeah it's like i need someone to talk to I feel like I caused
Starting point is 00:58:49 my boyfriend's death I didn't do enough to stop it and this again she says I'm usually such a control freak but I just didn't do enough to control the situation and this is where she says she's like I can't talk to mom and dad like I think he says like I don't Have mom and dad to talk to you're all I have yeah they don't exist Do they not have parents They never show them they never So I don't know there's never a picture of them No yeah it seems like maybe these two high schoolers
Starting point is 00:59:16 Are living alone Yeah taking care of themselves So because she's having A hard time Julia says like You can have the bracelet I'll leave this here With you I'll come get it like you know When I come visit you after you move away
Starting point is 00:59:31 After high school and she's like Thanks and she asks She says can I borrow your The camera I'm going to take pictures For graduation because Wendy has already said she's not going And Wendy says yeah you can have it but I need to Charge it so go get ready I'm have it but i need to charge it
Starting point is 00:59:45 so go get ready i'm gonna plug it in and charge it which was again very nostalgic for me the like getting out the little usb and plugging your camera into your computer to get the pictures up and so she looks through the photos for the first time which must be deeply traumatic but she pulls up the pictures she starts looking through them but, we see that Ashlyn and Ashley have gotten to the tanning salon. Oh, boy. And the guy who owns it or runs it is like out back on his cell phone talking to his girlfriend. And he holds the door open like props that are open with like some tanning lotion or
Starting point is 01:00:17 whatever. Yeah. Like, which honestly, that's not heavy enough. Like it was just kind of like, yeah, it was just like it's like holding the gap open, but it's a tube of lotion. It's not going to. Like it was just kind of like, yeah, it was just like, it's like holding the gap open, but it's a tube of lotion. It's not going to, yeah. Plastic tube.
Starting point is 01:00:29 Yeah. And he tells them like, oh, you guys can go like, you know how to do it. Go do it for yourselves. So they decide to go into the dining. Also really crazy.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I mean, absolutely insane. They're like, so it's really like 17, 18. Like you just go, just go in there and do it. They just crank up the number
Starting point is 01:00:48 of whatever it is. She's like, oh, we could go a little hotter this time. Yeah, we need to get really tanned for graduation. And they also, so in doing this, they're like lock the front door of the tanning studio because they're like, we don't want anybody coming in on us naked. So they lock the door. So we know that's going to be bad. But back at Wendy's,
Starting point is 01:01:06 she is looking through the pictures. And all of a sudden, inside her bedroom, a really ominous breeze blows through. Her power starts to flicker. And she looks at the picture. The last picture she took of Jason standing in front of the roller coaster. And the way he's standing, it looks like the roller coaster is going to go right into his head and she looks the picture she goes oh my god and i'm like what yeah what are you getting from this yeah like like a huge light bulb moment for her i'm not understanding why let me tell you i didn't understand a single clue they found i was going what like i i just was not following a single clue i didn't get a single clue they found i was going what like i i just was not
Starting point is 01:01:45 following a single clue i didn't get where their thoughts were going yeah but it's immediately obvious to her but she then looks at the picture of ashley and ashlyn which is of them holding a big blow-up palm tree that they won at one of the rides at the carnival and that is another big light bulb moment for her where she's like oh my, my God. And she tries to call them and they don't answer. And again, I'm like, OK, that's so funny. It's like the it's like the writer decided to skip the part that was the actual to like make that make sense. And she's like, we'll just do their reactions as if we've written. She gets it.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Right. And if you don't get it, you just aren't paying close enough attention. Yeah, it's obvious the clue. Palm tree tanning? Sun? Yeah. Sure? Yeah, I mean, yeah. She's like, oh my god, it's all right here. Yeah. But, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:36 she's right. So, cut back to the tanning salon and they're getting in their little tanning beds, which, again, I was like, this is insane. Getting into that is i mean do people i mean people still do that yeah i think they still are around yeah it's i don't understand horrifying it's so scary to get in there i would be scared of that without yourself with fucking and that's it and you're just blazing in UV, like which we just know is bad.
Starting point is 01:03:06 It's just crazy. So wild. Especially when there are so many options for like spray tans. There are so many ways to do it. Yeah. I mean, I guess there really weren't in 2006. No, no. Yeah. But I'm sure it was all toxic. Please don't do it anymore. It feels really bad um even if this doesn't happen which is that again we get a real
Starting point is 01:03:27 you know a rube goldberg of how this ends up causing their death which is they bring a drink in the way they talk to each other too they have a huge slurpy they have a big slurpy and one of them says the other shit i forgot my ipod and the other one goes sucks bitch yeah and i just loved their energy then they're like there's a cd player we can play and then like that seems like it's gonna kill them for a second or something like some cds fall and then they're like they put on a song and then they have headphones that are connected to it so they each have one headphone i didn't understand opposite sides of there i didn't understand the logistics of this i didn't understand i was like why don't you just play the cd player like it's a boom box
Starting point is 01:04:08 yeah so they put the drink gets put the slushy gets put on a thing above like i guess a heater for the room or the thing that controls the electricity and we see condensation start dripping so we're like okay that's bad um and they get they take their tops off, uh, and we look at their tits a lot. They just zoom in on them over and over. Zoom in. And then even the point where like, then it starts and they're listening to like roller coaster. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Okay. Which did not, I, that didn't hit me until I was taking notes of like, they very narrowly avoided dying on a roller coaster. I didn't even think of that. and like 50 people they know just did and they're just like roller coaster like that would be so triggering yeah that's supposed to be that's supposed to be a funny joke for us i guess i think so but in reality they would be like skip this song skip it fuck fuck no yeah and what i actually said was like, what a random song. I didn't get it at all. But they're loving it.
Starting point is 01:05:07 And yeah, we start to see one thing is leading to another. The dripping into the electricity. The temp is going up, up, up. They're starting to feel hot. And then a shelf falls. This is pretty fun, I thought, because it was so crazy that it was like... I do not recall how it happened. You tell me.
Starting point is 01:05:29 I think what happened was that the shelf broke, like, and then where the CDs were, and everything falls and then the shelf itself just, like, falls between their two tanning beds and then, like, into the doors of, like, underneath, like, between between the doors so they can't lift up
Starting point is 01:05:46 out of it. I didn't fully get how that works. I don't know how it got there but it did seem to like wedge them shut. In like a door handle like a bar to keep it from. It does that. Yeah. And I also just got something else that when they die
Starting point is 01:06:01 and then you go to their caskets that it's like two tanning beds. Yeah. Because I was like why are they having a mutual like a joint funeral? I was like I think they have a joint funeral. But we watched this I think is one of the gnarlier ones which is just like we watch them crisp up just crisp
Starting point is 01:06:17 up and they're like screaming and trying to push out but that's obviously very hot and they can't get out and they're like their bodies are turning burned and scaly in these things i like imagine i feel like you'd have to at some point like stop feeling your body right i feel like you'd be in your your brain i mean maybe i think really please i don't think it would happen fast enough no i mean it'd be awful but i think at some point you would stop feeling it. Probably.
Starting point is 01:06:47 So they're just, they're cooking and screaming. And then eventually the tanning beds. Oh, and Yuri has, the guy who runs it has been fully locked out. The back, the tube exploded. And so he can't get back in. The front door's locked. They're screaming. And then the tanning bed just bursts into flames.
Starting point is 01:07:01 And then they fully just, I think some glass shatters. And it's bad. It's a really, really, really bad way to go yeah yeah and so unnecessary so it makes it even worse so unnecessary it was bad for their skin to begin with yeah and yeah then we cut to their funeral and they are having a joint funeral and at this funeral, Wendy calls Kevin and on his cell phone he picks up and she goes, I'm with Jay. And he looks over and she's like across the cemetery at
Starting point is 01:07:34 Jason's headstone and it's like what a weird way to phrase that. Yeah. But he goes over to her and she, this is where she reveals her photo theory Which were you as shocked by this as I was Lauren with the first picture
Starting point is 01:07:50 She pulls out wait what was it Abraham Lincoln oh yeah I don't No fucking sense So she she pulls out like printouts That she has and one is the first one is Abraham Lincoln she's like and it Has like a vague very Faint line through the top of his head actually his hair and then
Starting point is 01:08:11 she's like see this photo was taken before and then i'm like so it went through his hair it doesn't look like he's gonna be killed it wasn't even like actually a good image it was like yeah very very like q and a copy machine decided this is true and it's 100 makes it's like the evidence is right here see he has a line on this picture i'm like so and that's right where he was shot in the head the next picture but then oh then then i think she was the next one 9 11 yeah because she brushes past i think they cut something and i'm curious if the trivia had anything like this. Because my theory was that she had said something horrible.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Because it was like she just shows this picture of you can tell it's the Twin Towers and then there's a shadow of an airplane on the building. Which doesn't tell you anything. When did that happen? I don't understand what you're trying to show.
Starting point is 01:09:03 What does that mean? It just doesn't mean anything. No, but she thinks it absolutely does. But she just shows it without saying a word and then they move on. And so I'm like, she said something that was too far. There was some dialogue there that afterwards they were like, ooh. Why would you say that? Because like she didn't
Starting point is 01:09:20 explain it at all. And then she just moved on to the next one, which I think was the flight 180 or something. Or was that something else? i think it was a picture of the accident from final destination two where they're on route 180 and she's like see it's the same number as it was a clue about how those people were gonna die it was honestly like an improv scene or something where you're just like these things connect like you just like you're just talking like it doesn't have anything to do with anything there was nothing like if you wrote that you'd be like i need to think about this more because there's not she's not really proving anything
Starting point is 01:09:57 with this no you're watching it you're not going like oh like there's nothing there there's nothing there and she's like i have all these photos that i took of everyone it's like and so then look look at this photo of jason the roller coaster's going into his head it showed how he was going to die and then this picture of ashlyn and ashley uh it these photos they're all it's all the clues and then she almost faints she yeah and and kevin says the problem with this is you could look at any photo ever and do this. 100%. No, she doesn't even have a point. She's like... She's just showing pictures of
Starting point is 01:10:32 things that connect to things that were bad. Like, yeah, this guy got killed. The Twin Towers. She's just like, see? And it's like, that's not anything. You don't have a theory. But she almost faints. And so Kevin's like, oh my God, when was the last time you ate? I don't remember. And so he's like,aints and so kevin's like oh my god when was the last time you ate she's i don't remember and so he's like okay we got it we're gonna go get food
Starting point is 01:10:49 so they go to go through a drive-thru and like we're gonna look through the pictures on our way to the drive-thru and as they're they get to the drive-thru and they that's where they start explaining their theory that Jason and Jason was in the front row of the roller coaster. And so the people in the front of our roller coaster would have been the first to die. So Ashlyn and Ashley were in the front row. We need to think about who's next. Who's going to die next? And they realized that Frankie Che cheeks was right behind them it's the worst name i believe at one point too he calls himself franklin cheeks which is just really it's
Starting point is 01:11:33 actually worse um they realize he's gonna be next and so they they look at his photo and they're like let's let's you gotta look at like what the clue might be it's all right here and it's a picture of him climbing a rope ladder at the carnival they're like okay so maybe oh kevin goes it's obvious he's gonna fall off a ladder and she's like but it's a rope ladder maybe he hangs himself um you know it might not be that obvious like all the other ones have been yeah i was gonna say yeah that'd be on track, they're in the drive-thru and there's a car in front of them ordering at the window and then a car pulls up behind them. So they're wedged in. This scene is very scary.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Then a truck starts backing into them from the side. Doesn't see that they're there. And by the way, he's backing fully into a building anyway. Even if he doesn't see their car. I think across a grass area. It's like... He's backing down and then there's a truck that's out of control that starts coming down. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:32 So they get wedged in by this one truck. Who backs up onto their door in the drive-thru. I'm like, you are horrible at driving. It's not fast. It's slow. You're operating a vehicle. Yes. But they're stuck.
Starting point is 01:12:47 And yeah, they see from the top of the hill, another truck, like a moving type truck, rolling down the hill and realize there's nobody in the driver's seat of that car. Oh my God. Oh my God. We got to get out. And so they're honking to the car in front of them to be like, you got to pull forward. There's a car coming at you. And they can't get out because they're wedged in.
Starting point is 01:13:05 They haven't like pieced together yet that they're safe because they're not next on death's kill list. They're not concerned about that. I mean, I would be concerned about this truck. I mean, I think the car in front of them isn't moving. He doesn't even turn around. He just flips them off and is like, I gotta order my food. Shut up. And so they at the last
Starting point is 01:13:22 second burst out of the windshield. Yeah, he breaks the windshield and then they jump through. And then the truck comes and smashes into the back of the whole line of cars. And then this guy's head explodes. So it's a chain reaction where all these cars get. I had to watch this back to be like, what happened? Yeah. Because it's I think what happens is the crash pushes the car engine of Kevin's car. And so the guy in the front is in a convertible.
Starting point is 01:13:55 So he's got no protection. engine of Kevin's car gets flung out into the back of the head of the guy driving the convertible. But what happens is the engine fan goes and slices the whole like back of his head off. Oh, wow. Yeah. And they just watch that. And they just watch it happen. And they see, oh, my God, guess who that person was?
Starting point is 01:14:27 Oh. That was Frankie Cheeks. Okay. Okay. I feel like if we had seen that it was Frankie Cheeks beforehand, that could have built some suspense for us as audience members who know that it follows a- It might have been good. Yeah. It might have been good.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Chronology. Because I wasn't stressed because I know that they're not going to die in this scene. Yeah. No, but Frankie Cheeks dies bad. His head gets nasty. Really disgusting. Interesting. I feel like they don't usually show it from somebody else's perspective, though. It's usually you are in that
Starting point is 01:14:54 scene with that character. No, yeah, it really caught us off guard. Yeah. Alright. Sorry, Frankie. What the fuck? That wasn't the photo! But they go back to Wendy's house and they're like what what the fuck that's not wasn't the photo um but they go back to wendy's house and they're like we got to look through all these pictures and we need to see everyone who was on the roller coaster does it have to be a photo that she has taken is that is
Starting point is 01:15:13 that at least limited to the pictures from her camera from grad night but the abraham lincoln and the 9-11 photos those are just from the. Those are just to prove that a photo is proof. She didn't even explain that idea. No. Because I feel like pulling them from the internet is like it could be literally any photo, but yeah. This theory is tricky. No, it's rock solid.
Starting point is 01:15:41 We need it to be. We need this. we all need this So they're looking through the pictures To see who else is on the roller coaster and they realize There's a row of A couple people that they can't see who they are Because when she was going to take a picture That's when the guy running the ride
Starting point is 01:15:57 He like put his hand in front of her face and was like hey No cameras on the ride so we have Like mostly an arm And some blurred people behind Him like we don't know who those people are but uh they're gonna die by arm stuff we who knows and we know that um who we know that oh okay so they're looking through the photos they see a picture of carrie um and they have a sad moment and kevin says this was truly crazy he was like you know I was going to propose to her after graduation
Starting point is 01:16:27 which we know she said she was going to dump him and also you're 18 they're 12 yeah it's like crazy doing that this is crazy no it's because she died that he feels like yeah sure yeah and then we flip to the next photo and we see
Starting point is 01:16:43 in the background of the upskirt photo That Kevin took Is Frankie Cheeks And what's right behind Frankie Cheeks Is a fan So that once again they're like there it is The theory is correct
Starting point is 01:16:58 Wow And so they're reinvigorated on their theory They look through the photos they see that Lewis The football jock, is next. And in his photo, he's doing that hammer on the bell thing. And there's all sorts of stuff in this photo. There's like a ride that is probably racially insensitive. That's like a ninja holding like two big swords.
Starting point is 01:17:22 And then there's the hammer thing. So like, OK, a hammer is something's going to fall on his head. But no then there's the hammer thing so they're like okay a hammer something's gonna fall on his head but no there's also the swords and Kevin goes oh my gosh he's at football training camp right now and the team is the Sultans and their picture is two swords like that's the clue
Starting point is 01:17:37 so they're like we gotta go find Lewis okay and meanwhile Kevin's like, I don't want to look at our photos. Like, we're probably in there, but we can't see how we're going to die. Not until we have to. We haven't looked at their photos yet.
Starting point is 01:17:53 You not curious at all? It might be helpful. Let's keep it a surprise for later. We don't know that it's going in order. Why don't we just see what all the things are? Especially because these pictures are just clear-cut evidence and we would know 100% what's going in order like why don't we just look at it and because these pictures are just clear cut evidence and we would know 100% what's going to happen
Starting point is 01:18:09 but they go to see Lewis at the gym and at this point Joel had like wasn't really watching with me except for every time we would gear up towards a death he would like come back over and he was like oh as soon as they got to the gym he was like oh the gym like he like remembered this death scene again great places to the gym he was like Oh the gym like he like remembered this Death scene again great
Starting point is 01:18:26 Places to go for these deaths like Going to a big gym full of like really Intense high school football players who are all like The energy in this scene Is The most chaotic place I've ever seen in my life They're all like
Starting point is 01:18:40 Like screaming And it's like Really an upsetting place um but they go to see lewis and he thinks they're they've lost it um he's like you're seeing patterns everywhere because you feel badly about what happened and you feel guilty um but i'm never going to die those are words he says I think they say that in two also. Like we're going to live forever. They love to say that in these movies. I'm never dying.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Why would you say that? It's just absolutely not true regardless of circumstance. It's a movie. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You will die. Yeah. But he doesn't think he will.
Starting point is 01:19:21 But Kevin is trying to convince him like look at these photos man. This is proof. Also, again, like to be acting this way, I'm never going to die. When once again, a bunch of your classmates and people we were with just died on a roller coaster that you almost were on. Then two other of your classmates died in a crazy freak tanning bed accident. Then another one of your classmates just got a car engine in his head like you at least would be thinking that death is possible yes at this point yes but he doesn't think that um and kevin's trying to convince him and wendy is doing her
Starting point is 01:19:55 a really scared thing where she's walking around the gym seeing death signs everywhere uh she there's an ominous breeze i think once again we see lewis go to one of those i don't know what this machine is no but you pull your arms in yeah and a bar pulls weights you know everyone knows everyone knows and it's under two swords up on the wall crisscrossed two big swords which I'm like are those actual sharp swords? Why would they be hanging there? Why? They should actually be plastic like Party City swords.
Starting point is 01:20:34 Yeah yeah yeah. Or just not have them at all. Or a picture. Just a painting. A poster of some sort but no it's a no a painting. A work of art. A painting. A painting. I would like it to be painted. So he goes to that machine and it's right under those and like the whole room is like shaking because all these football players are so funny to exercise right under two swords yeah it's really the worst on him that's on him but he's like we avoided death this is a success story for us i'm gonna go to states
Starting point is 01:21:06 i'm never gonna die i just win fuck death i just win and as he like pulls the machine and it shakes the wall and the swords fall and they both come down and they slice the wires on his machine but don't get him and they are like oh my god and he's psyched he's like you see that fuck death I just win and he grabs
Starting point is 01:21:37 the things again pulls his arms in to pull the weights but the wires that hold the weights on have been snapped and they both smash it at his head from both sides and squash it like pumpkin oh my god
Starting point is 01:21:53 it's kind of like my moment of triumphantly jumping out of the slide and then hitting my head like I'm fine I'm never gonna die and again the amount of times that the Two of them Kevin and Wendy have had somebody Else's blood just spattered All over them
Starting point is 01:22:12 Yeah and then they keep going I'm like you got to get Some time alone like this is just too much This is too much Stop seeking this out like you're watching People get decapitated everywhere you look. You've seen the worst things anyone could ever see over and over and over again.
Starting point is 01:22:30 And they decide, okay, well, we got to keep doing this. And why is it the town kind of alarmed? It's like so many teens are dying in insane ways and nobody's stepping in to say anything. There's no like speech
Starting point is 01:22:46 happening also interesting you know how how far are we geographically from where the other two films have taken place because it seems like we're in a world where this has happened twice before i don't even know i don't even know where this one is this one is like new england i can't remember where the other ones are. I mean, I guess it would. I guess probably if this were real happening in three separate locations, it wouldn't be linked together necessarily. Not necessarily. She would link it. True.
Starting point is 01:23:14 I mean. There's also this movie even more so than Chew, I feel. I mean, these movies are just like, hey, a bunch of deaths. Let's see how it happens. This one is there's nothing in between. They literally just go person to person to person to person. Death, death, death, death death death and then and it's an hour and a half and they're in and out and they're in and they're just on like a death scavenger hunt just arriving at each new death scene yeah so the next one is the hardware store another great place for a bunch of deaths to
Starting point is 01:23:38 happen and this is aaron and ian the goth couple we see them getting into all sorts of stuff that could cause their deaths he's shooting pigeons with a nail gun um that he's driving around in a forklift i mean it's a hardware store there's blades everywhere i'm i'm absolutely very nervous they they don't take this very seriously they're like you know whatever he uh ian's like we're biological entities and death is the natural conclusion and he's like climbing on shelves And things are falling down and no one reacts Like it's just it's chaos It's chaos They're like closing down the store
Starting point is 01:24:12 And it's like first of all don't let two teenagers Work closing shift alone But Ian makes the point where he's like Oh well if it's going in a line and the last person's Gonna die or like it's gonna kill everybody Until the last person Maybe you should just kill yourself It's like okay yeah and they do tell him like if we intervene the death will skip that person because that's what happened in the other times that this has
Starting point is 01:24:35 happened so they're just sort of talking it through all sorts of things started they're looking at the photo trying to find where's the clue what's gonna happen they keep thinking they see it like wait look out and that doesn't cause the death but we've seen again another chain reaction has been set off where a box fell on another forklift which is moving pushing things in the back of the store they end up in a narrow little shelf area he's got a buzzsaw going so we're like is that gonna be that but then they see a bunch of wooden stakes on a top shelf start to fall and they're like oh my god that's it they're like ian look out they push him out of the way they all start falling and then shelves are all of a sudden like the whole store is coming apart like earthquake style and then shelves are falling. All of a sudden like the whole store is coming apart like
Starting point is 01:25:24 earthquake style and Ian gets out. They all managed to get out of the way but in all the things falling Aaron gets pushed back into a shelf and it's the shelf where the nail gun was and
Starting point is 01:25:40 it starts just going off and it shoots from the back of her head through her face like 20 times. That part was disgusting. That one was really bad. And they're all just watching this. What was the photo for these two? The photo?
Starting point is 01:25:56 It was. I don't remember. I have no idea what it had to do with this. No idea. I don't think we could have known even if we had seen. I know I saw it. None of it makes any sense. Certainly none of this.
Starting point is 01:26:10 And I don't even think they even deal with it. She's looking at the photo. When the stakes start falling. And she's like that's what it is. And it's like okay. It doesn't matter now. It doesn't matter. But so they intervened.
Starting point is 01:26:21 He doesn't die. But Aaron did. And so they now realize. Okay well the last, but Aaron did. And so they now realize, OK, well, the last two people to die are going to be Kevin and then Wendy. But there are the unknown people. The hand photo people are in front of them. So we have to figure out who those people are. And then it's going to be us. And so they decide to split up and try to figure out who ask around
Starting point is 01:26:46 and figure out who else is on the roller coaster. And as Wendy is going home, we see Ian ominously watching her from his truck. So that's going to be bad. Oh, because he's the one that's maybe considering killing them to try to break this. And as he just watched his girlfriend die in a really, really, really
Starting point is 01:27:01 terrible way. Yeah. But no one mourns anything no one mourns anything we also have never seen a body be dealt with in any way like they don't call the cops just leave it at the hardware store for the opening shift they just don't there's no after this one that we do see wendy and kevin leaving the police station together okay as if they like told the cops about it but again it, it's like, well, okay. Call an ambulance. Like do something.
Starting point is 01:27:27 Yeah. Yeah. So at home, we see Wendy napping in front of her computer and Julie sneaks in and sees the charm bracelet that she absolutely must have and takes it back. And it's like, okay, great. I have my little charm bracelet. And she leaves and she's getting her friends are coming to pick her up and they honk out front to get her which wakes wendy up and when he wakes up and she's got that picture on her computer of the hand the unknown person and she goes oh my god and she's like zooms and zooms and zooms in and on the wrist of the person whose face she can't see is that charm bracelet
Starting point is 01:28:00 yeah she didn't see her sister no a couple of runs in front of her. She was too nervous. Yeah. She was really freaking out. She was not taking in her surroundings. No. Unless it said the number six and then she was really taking it in. Six as in six, six, six.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Six as in if there were two more. If there were two more of these these that would be really bad yeah um and so she realizes that Julie is on her way to the town tricentennial and this is how we know that we're in New England because we go to the town tricentennial
Starting point is 01:28:35 which she calls Kevin and is like we have to go to it's Julie she's next meet at the town tricentennial and he says well okay after Julie we're next so I think it's time that we look at our photos so Wendy looks at her photo and she's like mine is just me with Jason
Starting point is 01:28:52 his face is all blurry and I'm just wearing my McKinley high school t-shirt and you're like okay what's my photo Kevin says she's like it's the one where I flashed the camera in your face after you took that upscore photo and so it's just really, really bright and overexposed. And he says,
Starting point is 01:29:08 you mean like a firework went off in my face? And he looks over and it's like, fireworks display! And we see a bunch of people getting ready to set up fireworks. So they go to the tricentennial and it's like there's a guy on a horse riding through
Starting point is 01:29:23 saying, the British are coming we see Revolutionary war Uniforms and A guy pretending to be Ben Franklin so that's about where We are in the country yeah Somewhere where they do that people care About that yeah sure and as
Starting point is 01:29:40 She's driving to the tricentennial Her radio starts freaking out Which did happen before Frankie Cheeks died. When she was in the car with Kevin, the radio just started like going like and like and the song starts playing. There's someone walking behind you. And so that happened before. It's now happening. And she realizes she's being tailed by somebody.
Starting point is 01:30:00 And we know that it's Ian. So she's freaked out. She makes it to the tricentennial. They find Julie Kevin and Wendy find Julie but she Runs away from them because She fucking hates her sister She's just like leave me alone
Starting point is 01:30:13 So she's running through the crowd They're running after her We see somewhere a cart got like Knocked off its Wheels but we don't know what that's gonna Mean yet but we you, close up on it. And then the fireworks display starts happening. The fireworks start going off
Starting point is 01:30:30 and a horse starts totally freaking out because there are fireworks and the horse is like tied to a rope, which is like tied to a stake in the ground. This part is really scary. This part is very scary. And it just rears up and starts running and of course easily pulls that fucking stake out yeah and is running through the crowd trampling people running people over um and so that's
Starting point is 01:30:59 happening and then kevin and wendy are chasing after julie Julie. Kevin finally catches up to her before Wendy does. And he's like, Julie, you're in danger. We have to talk to you. And she goes like, how about this? And like flips him off again, which is like, Julie, just stop. This has been the worst week ever. Everyone they know is dead. Take a minute.
Starting point is 01:31:22 But when she does that, Wendyendy in her mind's eye flashes to her photo that she took of julia where she was flipping her off the exact same way and she was in front of the carousel which had white horses on it cut back the horse runs through the rope get it was tied to swings around julie's neck and it starts dragging Julie by her head, the crowd by her neck. So she's choking and being dragged by a well crazed horse. Yeah. And no one's really trying to stop that.
Starting point is 01:31:55 Yeah. They're like, there's not enough efforts to stop the horse. There's people everywhere. But yeah. So then they're like, Oh my God. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:32:00 I gotta be honest with you. I probably wouldn't make an effort. I would probably, I mean, I would be scared. It would be a lot. The guy lot the guy i mean what's i always forget his name the main character kevin the main person we were talking about for an hour um kevin was like he has a he has a good plan so he grabs like a sword a lot of swords in this town yeah and he's basically he basically chops into the rope just in time.
Starting point is 01:32:25 She's about to get dragged into some spikes. Yeah, and then she's released. Yeah. Which was pretty amazing. I was going to say, that's a risky sword move. He could have decapitated her. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:32:41 But he does it, and so they, you know, Kevin and Wendy get up to Julie like oh my god I'm like Julie and Wendy immediately says Julie who is next to you on the roller coaster they're next they're next and Julie's friends have run up because you know their friend just got dragged by her neck through the crowd
Starting point is 01:32:58 and one of them hears Wendy saying that and stands up and then the cart that we saw get like knocked off its wheels, runs into a pole and knocks it loose and it flies through the air and impales her straight through her stomach.
Starting point is 01:33:13 And so that girl is immediately dead. I think another horse did that actually. Maybe the same horse. A horse got loose again and it was tied to a pole. They keep tying these horses to things they shouldn't be tied to. And the bull comes loose and impales her. I just think in the moment, I didn't think this,
Starting point is 01:33:34 but now that we're talking about it, there's just not enough of a reaction to all of this. Absolutely. In the moment, I'm like, whoa, crazy. I'm more just processing the filming of it or something. And then I'm like, so I think we're going to need everyone to be told they have to go home like there's not enough like i feel like in scream they which because it's like the main movie i've seen they like they like they make the town like go to bed like it's like we're having a curfew and like let's all process
Starting point is 01:34:00 this is bad like something bad is happening like here they're just kind of like so the carnival I guess we'll keep hanging out but like this girl just got impaled but like like there's not the feeling like it's shutting down you know that was a freak accident it's not gonna happen again we're having a lot of fun and I'd hate to I'd hate to I don't know we all came
Starting point is 01:34:19 here it's the town tricentennial you know it's important um yeah no and they absolutely in this movie too they happen like seemingly within like 20 minutes of each other like it's just like they're just it just they just keep non-stop like no time has passed
Starting point is 01:34:35 yeah no time has passed but because this girl just died now Wendy's like oh my god it's Kevin's next and Kevin somehow he's gotten a little bit away from them. And again, another horse fucking kicks him rear. Both back legs kicks him, shoots him into a grill or like where the fireworks are. And a big fire starts.
Starting point is 01:35:01 But they grab him and manage to pull him away so he doesn't die but now it's wendy and they're like oh fuck okay we've reached the end of the line it's wendy so what do they think the rule is for all these skipped people that is going to come back to them or that they're all they're not thinking about that but i'm i'm thinking about that because that's what happens all the other ways yeah death does eventually come back for them but they're not worried about that in this moment which you know sure prioritize um but so now they're like okay it's wendy's turn and she sees ian being all creepy and like stalking them and she goes oh my god i was wearing my mckinley t-shirt ian mckinley is gonna cause my death yeah so they're trying to get away from him he starts
Starting point is 01:35:38 taunting them and they he realized like oh my god'm going to cause your death like you caused errands. All right, let's fucking go. Let's get this over with. And he says, well, if you just stay away from me, we can end this. You know, you can save me. We'll all be fine. And once again, he goes, well, I'm fine. It skipped me. I'm not dying.
Starting point is 01:36:01 Yeah. And then a bunch of fireworks go off. They don't like they shoot like at him, but they don't get him. Once again, he's like, I'm never dying. See? And then from above a sign falls and this one I had to watch again because he looks he stands stick straight And then puts turns his head totally Up to look at it and then just watches it Fall it's like you actually had time
Starting point is 01:36:30 To move as you See this you saw it all Watches it and then it just splats him down Yeah and then he's done It's a sign that certainly Was heavy but it Cuts him It splats half his body and sends like his head and one half of his torso
Starting point is 01:36:50 like off to the side yeah it was almost like a stadium like scoreboard or something i don't know what it was but it yeah it just like falls down and he's gone he's gone um and then cut to five months later yeah and w Wendy's on a subway with two new people we don't know. And they're discussing what stop they're going to get off at. They're going to get off at Oswald. Two more stops. And there's a guy on the subway
Starting point is 01:37:16 playing the guitar, you know, trying to get... Now I wonder what they were singing because I'm sure it was like, you're gonna die. Well, so they start singing that. There is someone walking behind you and wendy goes like oh my god and then a breeze blows to the subway his death is here yeah she starts she looks at all the ads on oh that's so silly yeah it's like you can't escape death or taxes they all have something to do with it and one is like a tanning salon and she's like oh my
Starting point is 01:37:42 god oh my god it's all the all the dust she looks out the window of the subway car and sees like her face looks like blurred because of the moving train she remembers her photo with Jason's face blurred she's like oh my god oh my god this is how I'm gonna die and they decide she's like we have to get off at the next stop because we hear an announcement going
Starting point is 01:38:00 like Oswald the end of the line once again the end of the line very ominous, the end of the line. Very ominous. This is actually Tony Todd's voice. Oh, fun. Which is fun. And so she's like, we have to get off at the next stop.
Starting point is 01:38:12 And she, meanwhile, cut to a rat, Sammy. We see a guy throw what looks to me like tomato paste. Do you know what this was? No. It was a tube of something that he was eating. It was like tomato sauce in a tube. It was like a metal tube of tomato paste.
Starting point is 01:38:34 And we see him throw it on the tracks and we see a rat come up to it for a yummy, yummy little snack. Again, it's shot in a way that we're like, uh-oh, but I'm like, okay. There's no way to predict what they're getting at ever. Absolutely no way. And
Starting point is 01:38:50 Wendy tries to get off at the next stop, but as she goes to get off the train, she runs into Julie, her sister, trying to get on. And they're like, oh my God, what are you doing? This is crazy. This is so crazy. What are the chances? She's like, oh my God, I was coming early to visit you. I can't believe I managed to surprise you. So they end up staying on the train
Starting point is 01:39:06 Because now they get along Because she saved her life And she's like Julia says what's wrong You seem freaked out And she says It just started feeling again like it did Before and Julia's like no no no We are like it's not gonna happen
Starting point is 01:39:22 It skipped you it skipped us We're fine Just imagining a horse with a blurry face with a McKinley shirt getting on the train. Like just. It all starts happening. But Julie does say she's like, besides, you know, if anything were to happen, it's going to happen to me first and then Kevin. So you're totally fine until something happens to us.
Starting point is 01:39:42 Like, ha ha ha. OK, you're right. We're fine. Look over and then... Enter Kevin. Kevin has been on the train the whole time. They didn't see him. He's in the corner and they're like, oh no. Go up to Kevin and Wendy's like, what are you doing? Why are you on this train? And he says,
Starting point is 01:39:55 are you okay? You seem freaked out. And then he goes, oh God, it's not happening again. Is it? It is, sweetie. That's all we talk about. That's literally the only thing that's happening. Cut to the rat and the food that the rat is eating, the paste, drips onto the track
Starting point is 01:40:12 which causes a spark. Dripping is causing so many things. Which makes the this movie is about how fragile our infrastructure is. Yes. A spark causes the, you know how the tracks like a trail like shifts to make it go one way or the other
Starting point is 01:40:27 it shorts which makes it move in the wrong direction and immediately this subway car is just flying through the underground like just it starts shaking and
Starting point is 01:40:43 flying so fast completely untethered to anything uh people are screaming julie i think gets like thrown off the train kevin's getting pushed against the window and then he gets pushed out in his again gets chopped aurger style front half off And then the train Comes to a screeching halt Wendy gets thrown out of the train onto the tracks Comes to looks around Oh my god oh my god everybody's dead And she's got her leg is broken
Starting point is 01:41:18 She can't move and she looks up And another train is coming Barreling straight towards her She screams Just as the train's about to enter up and another train is coming barreling straight towards her. She screams. Just as the train's about to hit her. She comes to. Back on the train seeing Kevin.
Starting point is 01:41:33 Now that threw me for a loop. And it shouldn't have. It shouldn't have. Once again, they love to do that. And I was like, um. They got me again. They got me twice. And Kevin's like, oh my God, me again. Fool me twice, you know. Mm hmm. And Kevin's like, oh, my God, it just happened again, didn't it?
Starting point is 01:41:52 And so they go to pull the brakes, stop the train. Those brakes aren't working. Nobody's answering. And we hear screech, cut to black, crash. Credits. Cut to black. I mean, I guess we don't need to see it again. We did just see it. we saw it.
Starting point is 01:42:07 We know what's going to happen. Pretty annoying to have to just watch it again. And I was kind of surprised she died at the end, but I was kind of glad for her because I felt like she's just only living for her death at this point. Although she did seem pretty good in that five months later, considering it was only five months later. She had new friends and she was like, she was doing great. But no, she did seem pretty good in that five months later, considering it was only five years later. She had new friends and she was like, wow. Yeah, she was doing great.
Starting point is 01:42:27 But no, she did presumably die. The one thing I saw that was maybe the ending that got changed is they were maybe going to have the two characters from Final Destination 2 that do survive also on the train. Oh, that'd be fun. To be like, yeah, they all die. Because the whole thing is death. They always die They think they outsmarted death but they didn't Yeah
Starting point is 01:42:48 And then that was what they changed Because people didn't like it I guess I could find no concrete Evidence about what the ending Exactly was which I was upset by I really wanted to know I mean it is
Starting point is 01:43:04 Fun that everybody dies but it also makes it as a franchise a bummer that we can't get the same actors like coming back because they're they are currently making a new final destination movie which i am excited for and it's by the writer of uh scream five and scream six 6. Guy Busiek, I think is his name. So I think it will be fun. I'm excited for it. What number Final Destination is this? It will be number 6. 6. Wow. 6. He wrote
Starting point is 01:43:34 Scream 6 and Final Destination 6. Two more of those. Oh my god. But yeah, it's like I'd love for Devin Sawa to be somewhere. Would love for more Devin Sawa. He is dead. Would love for more Ryan Merriman, to be completely honest.
Starting point is 01:43:52 Yeah. Yeah. No. So they're all. Yeah, they're all dead. I mean, I guess we didn't see the crash the second time. So you never know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:01 Right. Sure. Maybe. Maybe they lived. Right. Maybe they lived. Yeah. Probably not Right. Sure. Maybe, maybe they live. Right. Maybe they lived. Yeah. Probably not.
Starting point is 01:44:07 Probably not. How did you, as someone who doesn't like scary movies, but does like Scream and had not seen A Final Destination, how, how did you feel after you watched this movie? I thought it was pretty fun. I also, I was not scared at all and it didn't stick with me in any way. But I had a good time watching it and it was like I liked the era and sort of like the choices they made. So I feel like
Starting point is 01:44:32 yeah, talking about it now, I'm like they just really didn't process it enough and that's like silly. But you know, it's kind of to be expected with a movie like this. Once it's the third one, they're like, we kind of know what we're getting at. Yeah, they really just I really felt especially the transition between two and three having seen two not too long ago being like oh they even they took even less plot they were just like that doesn't matter it really
Starting point is 01:44:52 doesn't matter yeah which makes me intrigued for how they'll do a somewhat reboot i suppose with this like new one what are they gonna do i feel like our generation now like the way things are now people are going to want more processing i think maybe not because i mean because it's about just people just dying without any sort it's not a killer it's not right i don't know it feels like death yeah i feel like we might get that we could get that the new screams have been like more self i mean scream is a self-aware franchise but it feels like they've been really like addressing what scream even is so i I am very curious to see how they deal with this one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:27 Could be fun. I mean, sure, it will be fun. But how? How will it be fun? In what ways? So what death do we want to die if we had to die away in this movie? Oh. I feel like Ian, right?
Starting point is 01:45:36 Isn't his kind of fast and unexpected? He's kind of alive for a minute after he's been chopped. You know who's the fastest? Lewis, the head pumpkin smash. Yeah, but that's kind of embarrassing. It's definitely embarrassing. He's so cocky during it.
Starting point is 01:45:54 I don't know. I feel like maybe the engine to the back of the head guy? Maybe. Because you have no idea. You're just sitting there. He was about to get some fast food. He's probably in a great, great state of mind. I don't know. The horse seems kind of fun.
Starting point is 01:46:11 Yeah. Being dragged. Oh, I guess the girl who got impaled, that went pretty fast too. Yeah. I'll tell you which one I don't want is the tanning bed. We can all probably rank that one last. That's the worst and runner up
Starting point is 01:46:26 Is nail gun through the head Because again so many Nails yeah you felt Some of them for sure Oh she definitely felt Some of them it took a lot Of those to kill her okay yeah pass I'll pass on that one pass I'll take an engine
Starting point is 01:46:42 To the head Yeah car engine Fan which is again what I think happened Yeah yeah not certain I'll pass on that one. I'll take an engine to the head. Yeah. Car engine fan, which is again what I think happened. Yeah. Not certain. Yeah. Perfect. Potentially that.
Starting point is 01:46:52 Potentially that. Wow. Honestly, it happened so fast that I was like, he's gone. Like I just wasn't like, what was it? It was pretty quick. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there it is.
Starting point is 01:47:04 There's Final Destination 3. It was very fun. It's very fun., there it is. There's Final Destination 3. It was very fun. It's very fun. It's a fun. And again, so fast. Just the quickest little movie that has ever happened. Yeah. It's a good time.
