I'm Ready: This is Flyover Film Country. Samara: All right. All right. It's a Walker and Olivia special today. So just us. I'm Ready: Everyone's favorite type of episode, I think, to be honest. Samara: It's my favorite type of episode personally. Like I just think it's it's just stellar. So. I'm Ready: I feel like we're getting all the fun movies too, like just us. Like we talked about Silence of the Lambs, we're talking about Ready or Not 2. I think we might even be talking about the drama next weekend, just next week. Samara: Yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it might just be us next week for the drama, so we'll see what happens. ⁓ I guess, I don't know. But I'm excited. I'm excited to talk about the drama, but today we're talking about Ready or Not 2. Here I come. I'm really looking forward to discussing this movie with you. So, you know, should we just dive right in? I'm Ready: Yeah, I would love to hear, because I texted our group, so I had an interesting viewing experience for this movie, but I would love to hear about yours first, Olivia. Samara: Mm-hmm. Okay, actually, I didn't have quite as interesting of a viewing experience as you did, but it was so... It was like... I saw it Sunday at like 730. And... And also weird to see this movie on Palm Sunday. I watched the first one and then I watched this one. And seeing this movie on Palm Sunday with the amount of times both of these movies say the phrase, Hail Satan... I'm Ready: Yeah. ⁓ Samara: At one point I was like, I feel weird about this. This is odd. I'm going to repent, I think, after this. anyway, so I bought a ticket by myself and there were two seats. There was like an empty seat on either side of me. And then to my left, there were two people who had bought those two seats. And there was like a couple, I think. And the guy who was... I'm Ready: You Mm-hmm. Samara: an older and larger gentleman, his seat didn't have, like the reclining wasn't working. The power recline wasn't working. And so I guess he decided to sit in the seat. I say, I guess he did in fact decide to sit in the seat next to me. And it's like, all of a sudden the arm moves and I'm like, ⁓ this is now tighter. I don't love this. And his I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. ⁓ no. Mmm. Yeah. Samara: girlfriend, wife sits in his seat and I'm like, why didn't you guys just switch seats there? Why did you, why did you scoot over? You know, if that's not big a deal to her and hers was working, why didn't you just... Anyway, so that's how we sat for the first, like, all three previews and for about the first third of the movie. And then he gets up, goes to the bathroom or something. I don't know where he goes. I'm Ready: Yeah. Samara: But he's gone for a little while. And then he comes back and sits in the original, like in the seat his wife was sitting in originally. So I'm just like, why didn't you guys do this to begin with? Why did, why did we have to sit so close to each other? And then I have to worry about like sharing the armrest. Like, what are we doing here, buddy? Anyway, it was, it was weird. And like, he kept talking and we'll talk about this scene, I'm sure later, but the scene where they're like fighting in the, the I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Mmm. Samara: like ballroom where the wedding reception was at and turn around or totally wait, was that the yeah, I don't remember the name of that movie, but or song that that's playing and he starts singing turn around and I'm just like, dude, what, what? And then and then a few, few seats down to my right. There's these two women and they're also talking and I'm just like, what is happening? I'm Ready: Yeah. right. Yeah. What the heck? Yeah. Samara: And it wasn't a lot, but it was like loud enough for me to like be aware of it and really take me out of this movie, which was really annoying because I actually had a good time watching this movie. So. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah, it's so funny. I had a similar experience with, I texted you guys about, so there was a group of people that came in right as the Searchlight Pictures logo is coming up. So right as the movie's starting, a big group of people all comes in at once. I noticed there's like two kids. One of them was a little girl who was probably eight years old, I think. Samara: Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. Too young, too young. I'm Ready: Yeah, too young to be seeing this movie for sure. And ⁓ they like walk to one side and they're like looking and then they walk to the other side like closer to me because I'm sitting. This is one of the smaller theaters at Conway. So I'm sitting in the very back and I've got this woman and her daughter sitting a chair apart from me and ⁓ I'm watching these people and they they walk around. They're kind of looking for seats. and then they all sit in different rows. They all came in together, but they all sit in different rows. And the grandma sits behind all of them by herself in a row by herself. So super weird. And then yeah, know, in the last, you know, the final act of the movie, the grandma's phone starts ringing and her ringtone, it literally sounded like something like this. Samara: That's weird. What? Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: It was like, ding, ding, ding. This is your granddaughter calling you. Like something like that. And she just answers it. She just takes it, takes the call in the middle of the movie. And it's like one of those things where I'm sitting there and I'm like, do I have to say something? Like, do I have to lean up and be like, hey lady. Samara: Ha ha! ⁓ my gosh. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: Get off your phone, please. And thankfully she didn't talk that long and she kind of was whispering, but not that it matters. You're taking a phone call in middle of movie. But I also had a talker in my theater. There was two people sitting in front of me, a man and a woman, and the guy just like would not stop talking. like, so the, I don't know if you saw it, but there was an Samara: Yeah. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: new trailer for that movie, Obsession, that's coming out. Samara: I don't know if I saw that one. Maybe I did. Keep talking. I'm Ready: So there was a trailer a few, about a couple months ago, Savannah and I saw that was really short and really simple for this movie and didn't really let you know a lot about it. And this was one that was longer and let you know more about it. It's basically, it seems to be about a guy who really likes this girl and then he wishes on the back of that candy wrapper that she'll love him and she becomes like too in love with him. So that trailer ends and this guy says out loud, very loud. Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: He goes, every girl in this generation and the woman besides him, besides him dies laughing, just dies laughing. I will, yes. And I'm sitting there, I was like, I don't even really get the joke. Like every woman in this generation is upset. Like I'm trying to figure out the joke at the same time. Like, and I'm also annoyed that he's talking and he continued to do that in the movie too. Samara: ⁓ so they're both the worst. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Ugh. I'm Ready: You know, there's a scene, I'm sure we'll talk more about it, but there's a scene with a lot of blood and he says very, very loudly because he knew he wanted everyone to hear this one because it was so good. When all this blood shoots up, he goes, chunky. And of course, the girl next to him starts laughing and like hits him and is like, Devin or something. I don't know. But I was very annoyed by them and they were pissing me off. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Ugh. Ugh. Freaking Devon. Yeah. So, okay. Here's my... Like, one, you should not talk in a movie theater, period. If you're going to do that, it needs to be a bad movie. Like, objectively a bad movie. This is not an objectively bad movie to do that. It's not a bad... Even if you didn't like it, it's not bad enough to warrant that. I'm Ready: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yes. Samara: There's only been one time I've been to the theater to watch a movie where that felt permissible. And it was this movie, I don't know if you've seen it or maybe you've heard of it. It's called Gretel and Hansel. It came out in 20. It was actually one of the last movies I saw before the pandemic. ⁓ And Osgood Perkins directed it and it had Sophia Lilis in it. And it was not good. I'm Ready: Yeah. I remember that. Mm-hmm. Right. Samara: I mean, it was not a good movie. Everyone in the theater was like kind of making fun of it and joking and talking. And like that was actually a fun experience because we all were like, this is bad, right? Everyone was like, this is a bad movie. ⁓ But that's the only time where I've been like, yeah, this was okay for everyone to talk. I'm Ready: Right. Yeah. Right I I appreciate in a horror movie when someone's being really stupid or like you know something Very creepy is happening. I appreciate an ⁓ hell no or something every once in a while We'll take that but not not ⁓ a Chunky or you know anything else like that I was we when we went and saw barbarian ⁓ Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. sure yeah that's yeah i'll take that Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Yeah. I'm Ready: You know, it was a very one of the more lively like viewing experience that I've had at theater. Like everyone was super into it. We had a couple, you know, there's a lot of moments you want to say, ⁓ hell no. In that movie, we had a couple of stuff like that. And Savannah, I were sitting beside these two teenage boys and I could tell that they had just never. think this was kind of their first time going to the movies and being like in this really kind of like lively, like everyone's laughing and gasping and like together and like Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: they were like kind of building up and building up. And then there's one point where a character like holds a flashlight like a gun or something. And I remember one of them said like, that's not a gun, bro. And it was just dead silence. Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. ⁓ Didn't work. Didn't work. Didn't land. Good. Good. And they, they were humbled in that moment and they needed that. So yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know why people were talking in this movie. It wasn't, there were some moments where it was like, yeah, like a, hell no. Would have been, would have been good, but just chit chatting. Come on. I'm Ready: And they were, yeah, they were quiet the rest of the movie after that. Yeah, they needed that. Yeah. Yeah. I can I propose my theory? Samara: Or a... Uh-huh. I'm Ready: It's because I think it's because this is kind of a millennial movie and that's kind like a millennial thing to do Samara: Mm-hmm. Is it? I'm Ready: I think so. mean and I like like Millennials like getting together and watch a movie and making fun of it as it's as they're watching it Samara: Here's a- They- But- Sure, sure. In the comfort of your own home though. I'm Ready: Right. Well, there's always people, there's always extremists, you know? Yeah. Samara: You're right, you're right. There are, and they ruin it for the rest of us. So the, I will, I will say the people who were doing this in my theater were definitely not millennials. They were, they were at least Gen Xers. So I think the, ugh, I'm so sorry. We, we should be better just as a whole, every generation. So yeah. I'm Ready: Okay. Okay, well so I had a Gen X er and a millennial so we about yeah Yeah. Samara: Man, what weird viewing experiences we had with this film. I'm Ready: I know, yeah, it's crazy, we both had it. So you said you watched the first one on Sunday too, had you seen it before? Samara: Mm-hmm. No, I hadn't seen it before. was like, I gotta watch this first one before I watch this new one, which Isaac had told me a long time ago. He was like, I think you would like it. You should definitely watch it. And I just had never gotten around to it. And Isaac was really high on it. And I enjoyed it. I don't know if I liked it as much as Isaac, but I really did enjoy the first one. And so it did get me excited to watch this, the second one. I'm Ready: You Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: And so, so yeah, so that was the first time I had ever watched it. So I did a double feature and I had a great time. So how, what about you? How do you see that? How many times have you seen the first one? I'm Ready: Nice. Yeah, I've seen the first one only once. I watched it a few years ago and we both, yeah, we had a really good time with it. We thought it was really fun. We both enjoyed it. So yeah, I was excited to watch this one. A little nervous only in the way I am for almost every sequel where it's just not really sure where they're gonna take it if they can top the first one. But yeah, I was excited and I guess let's get into how we feel about this movie and let's talk about it. Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, hold on, hold on. I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do, I'm gonna pull a Walter and do a transition. I'm Ready: Yeah. Okay. Samara: ⁓ I didn't have the sound up. Let me do it again. I'm Ready: ⁓ whoa! Samara: I did it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So yeah, let's get into it. So right off the bat, like what was your initial reaction to this movie after you had seen it? I'm Ready: Yeah, I liked it. I'm not super high on it. I think there's some things that they did that I really like. And there's some stuff about it that I just think it falls into the problems that making a sequel to a movie, ready or not, fall into. And so overall, it was fun. I had a good time. I'm glad I went and watched it, the movies. I don't know when I'll watch this one again. I'm much more likely to watch the first one again. Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Sure. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree with you. think I'm with you there. There were some issues I had with it, ⁓ but overall I had a good time and I do think if you liked the first one, go see the second one. ⁓ I do think the first one was just a little bit better and we'll get into the reasons for that, ⁓ but I also think I liked the cast for this movie more I'm Ready: than this one. What about you? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Samara: There's a little more name recognition with this cast than there was in the first one. So, yeah. I'm Ready: For sure. Yeah, for sure. mean, I didn't even know that ⁓ David Cronenberg was going to be in this movie. And so like seeing him so early on shocked me so much. And I know this it's a great cast. think that is such that is definitely a strength of this movie. It's a great cast. I can't think of anyone that just I was like, ⁓ they're giving ⁓ this is a bad performance by them either. Samara: ⁓ yeah. ⁓ huh. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: I think the cast was good. The setting was interesting, like doing it at this family's golf course and more like kind of in New York, but I do feel like they didn't really capitalize on that that well, which was a bummer in some parts. Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like everyone gave a really good performance. think I really love seeing Elijah Wood play the like just weird characters and while this character wasn't necessarily weird, he definitely has to be unhinged. Like his character has to be crazy to participate in the way that his character participated in everything. So, ⁓ but yeah, I think I'm Ready: Yeah. Right. Right. Samara: uh, Samara Weaving and Katherine Newton had really good chemistry as, as estranged sisters who, who hadn't talked in, I think seven years and were pulled into this really insane situation. Uh, I think, um, Sean, Sean Haddose? Is that how you say his name? Who, who plays Titus and Sarah Michelle Gellar's brother? I'm Ready: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm not sure. Yeah. Samara: ⁓ She plays Ursula, they play twins, and I think they had a really interesting dynamic. So, it... And I love Sarah Michelle Gellar. mean, as a millennial, I grew up with the live-action Scooby-Doo's, and she plays Daphne, but I also, and also a very millennial of me. Although I think this is older millennial. I don't think that many people my age have really watched the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Right. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Samara: But I watched that, I actually watched that in college and she's great. I mean, I love Sarah Michelle Gellar, so anyway, but. I'm Ready: Yeah, know, Sean, how does he, however you say his name, is having his moment right now on the pit as Dr. Abbott and everyone is, ⁓ the thirst traps are bound with Dr. Abbott right now. So, but yeah, I can't think of, I've never seen him in anything that I could remember before the pit. And now I also didn't know he was going to be in this movie because I don't even think I saw a trailer for this before watching it. Samara: Okay Are they? Yeah. Yeah, so. Mm-hmm. Let's see, let's look. He was in Animal Kingdom, which was on, I think, TNT? ⁓ Which I think was actually a pretty popular show. ⁓ I'm Ready: Hmm. Samara: He was in a couple episodes of Fear the Walking Dead. He was in Southland, which is another show that I believe was on TNT. So it looks, oh, he was in an episode of Curl of Minds. Which episode? Yeah, so. I'm Ready: ⁓ man, I'm gonna have to go watch it. There's nothing more, nothing that I love more than just an absolute bonkers Criminal Minds episode. They just can't be beat, some of them. They're just so out there and they're so fun. Samara: Uh-huh. I love Krillin I went through a Krillin Mines phase in high school and throughout most of college. so, so up until I had watched every episode up until I think probably about 2017. And so, so often I'm like, where do I know this person from? And every almost, almost without fail, I will come across their IMDB and be like Krillin Mines should have known. Should have known. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah, man. Hahaha Yeah. that I'm like that I don't know why like I went through a phase when I first started walking working from home. I would watch as an episode of S.E.U. on my lunch break every day. So I'm like that with like I watched like season one through eight of S.E.U. and you know like every actor ever has been on an episode of that show. And so I have so many of them locked with I'm like this person looks so vaguely familiar to me. And it's like ⁓ yeah they played some Samara: Mm-hmm. Okay? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: side character for five minutes in an episode of SVU in season two. That's where I know him. Samara: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That person was an unsub in Cruel Minds. That person was a victim. ⁓ That person played a dirty cop. That kind of stuff. Yeah, I know. do that all the time, too. And it's so funny seeing those actors who end up being in a lot of stuff afterwards. But yeah, good for him for... I'm Ready: Right. Yeah. Samara: you know, his moment right now, the pit and with Ready or Not Here I Come and plays truly a psychopath. Like, just an insane character. So he is, he would meet the criteria, I believe, for antisocial personality disorder. So... ⁓ I'm Ready: Yeah, I mean... I think so. Samara: really lacking empathy, doesn't really care about anyone else, is really only focused on his own wants and desires. yeah, he's kind of a terrible... Not kind of, he is for sure. They're all terrible. That's the thing about this, right? Like all of these people are terrible. So let's, you know, we all, it seems like we both really liked the cast and I do think that was one of the strong... I'm Ready: Right. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Samara: aspects of this movie. Tell me what were some of your, you said that the setting, they didn't utilize it as well as they maybe could have. Tell me some more about that. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think when I think of the first movie, you know, there are like specific scenes that really stick out in my mind. I mean, everyone who watches Ready or the First Ready or Not remembers the scene in the barn. Like, and, you know, I haven't seen this movie in three or four years. And like when I think of the movie, that's the first scene I think of. And I think with this movie, Samara: Mm-hmm. Hmm. Yeah. I'm Ready: I don't think there's a scene like that that just sticks out to me so much. I guess what they were trying to do was the scene in the ballroom is supposed to be that, but I just don't think it really ever reaches the highs of that. And I think that if you're gonna do a second movie with a movie like this, I think you have to do it like John Wick, where they're like, if we're making another one of these, it has to just be. Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: infinitely more over the top than the last one and like John Wick has been super successful with it because if you go back and watch that first John Wick movie you're like ⁓ this really is not like the other like there's a lot of action and it's cool but it is not like the the rest of them because the rest of them are trying to just keep topping each other and they do a great job of it because they're they have you know the setting is always awesome and they have these awesome set pieces and figure out unique ways Samara: Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: to do things and this, just didn't feel like there was ever, besides the very ending, I think, was the really one time where I was like, okay, now we're hitting it, but we should have been doing this, the whole movie. And we're on a golf course and I didn't see anyone get their head smoked by a golf club. I mean, come on, what are we doing? Samara: Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, there's not a single club golf club in that whole place. just what are we doing? I'm Ready: Yeah, no one used a golf club as a weapon on a movie at a golf course about killing people. Samara: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's a good point. I also think like what worked really well in the first one is how contained it was. You know, everything was within the house and there were always these like secret passages and in and or on the property. Like like the barn obviously is different from the house, but like still on the property and it felt really contained. And I think that worked really well. I think that sometimes when it's contained like that, it I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Samara: doesn't always hit, but it did really well, think, for the first one. For this one, because it was so open, right? There were so many places and it's like... And you kept seeing... I did appreciate that they kept referencing the map, that every time she was looking at a map to figure out, like, okay, where do I need to be and how do I get out of this situation? To highlight how big of a space... And so it seems like they were going in the opposite direction of this really openness. And I think it worked a... I'm Ready: Yeah. Right. Right. Samara: against them because it was like, I don't know where we're at. Whereas in the first one, it was like, I know exactly where we're at in regards to the scene. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I think if they want it, like I understand the want to do that, like you're making the second movie, you want it to be bigger and crazier, then you have to like, then use all the different, all the different space that's there, like for interesting fights and like interactions. And we did have the scene in the laundry room was like interesting and fun too. Yeah, so, but it's like, we want, we needed more of that, you know, where it's like, Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yes, I was about to bring that up. That was crazy. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: you're in a hotel and you're at a country club, like there are a lot of different areas that could have been utilized for, you know, interesting fights and interesting scenes. And like we kept going, like we went back to that ballroom two or three times and for really no, like there's no story reason they kept going back there. They would just end up back there. And it's like, why are we not somewhere else? Like, why are we, why is this not happening in a different room and with different Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Sure. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: cool stuff. Like that's what we want to see. And so yeah, I think it could have worked in their favor by utilizing all the different areas that would be in a hotel that big and a resort that big. But you know, we're out fighting by the front gate. Who cares about that? What's fun about that? Samara: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right. Right. And it's a little different from the first one where you see her get through the front gate and try to flack someone down and the guy is like, get off, get out of the road, you crazy bitch. And she's like, rich people. Like, they're so terrible. And so you don't even see them doing like that where it's like, we're going to escape until I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Right. Samara: They run into the twins and the twins are trying to stop them and, ⁓ you know, Katherine Newton's character whose name is Faith. Also side note, I love that at one point when they discovered, you know, it's grace and faith. ⁓ Titus is like freaking Irish Catholics. And it's like, like, it would just, it made me laugh. I was like, let's insult, insult Irish Catholics. It's so funny. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ Just out of nowhere totally random has nothing to do with the plot of the movie or anything Samara: Unprovoked. Yeah, like, unprovoked, no reason. Just takes that little shot at him. And it was funny. It was really funny. What's also, what makes this funnier to me is they're not Irish Catholic, but I am friends with a set of twins whose names are Grace and Faith. So they're not Irish Catholic, but I just do, I do think it's really funny that there's a shot at them because of their names. Anyway, going back to the setting though, like, I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Samara: Yeah, it just, seems like the, only big scenes we got were the initial golf course scene where they're just dropped in the middle of one of the, you know, one of the holes. And then they're also in the ballroom so much, a random hallway and, and the laundry, laundry room. And that feels kind of like that's it for as big of that space as it feels really. I'm Ready: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Right. Samara: contained but not in a way that works. So, ⁓ yeah. But ⁓ what'd you think of the fight scenes? There were a lot of fight scenes with this movie. And so what did you think of them? I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I thought some of them were fun. mean, like the laundry mat, the one in the laundry room is I thought was fun. as the only thing, the only complaint is like the characters in this movie have the most insane plot armor that there is at different points. Like it just it gets a little ridiculous at times, but that's part of the movie. These movies, I think. But yeah, I think. Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, Sure. I'm Ready: Again, you know, there were some fun ones. That one's fun. The ballroom scene. I like. I don't know. I almost wish it was a different song than turn around and that it would have been a little. Samara: Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: Like it was funny in the beginning when they both pepper spray each other and like you cut back from the really intense scene in the hallway with ⁓ Faith getting the crap beat out of her by Titus and then you cut back and her sister and this girl are just like swinging at air. Like that was funny that first time and then it was like two more minutes of them, you know, jumping through the cake and like. Samara: Mm-hmm. Right? Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I'm Ready: smashing a table and like stuff before they finally like actually start fighting again and so for me it just slowed that scene down a lot and it felt like it didn't hit as hard as it should have and as it could have. Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: And then what else? I did really like at least the ending to the kind of the first scene in the hotel with the woman with the katana. Like I really liked that and thought it was smart for her to take her hand and make her stab the other guy. But that kind of leads into a problem I have with this movie. And it's a Samara: Yeah. Yes. Uh-huh. Tell me. I'm Ready: over reliance on people exploding into mist like that was such you know in the first movie it was such like a shocking like crazy thing and then in this movie it happens five six seven times you know like just constantly Samara: Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. A lot. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. Here's, here's one of my issues with this, this one. And I promise we're not going to just complain about everything the whole time. Like there are, there are things I did really enjoy about it. ⁓ including some of the fight scenes. You know, and the first one, the whole, whole thing is like, they are this, this game that this really wealthy family that, that made their wealth by board games and I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: Grace finds out that her now husband, his family made all of this wealth from ⁓ making basically a deal with the devil. And they have to do this thing in order to continue to exist. And if they don't do it, then they will die. none of them, the in-laws are all like, I don't know, but... I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Samara: But everyone in the family for the most part, except for Grace's husband is like, it's real, we have to do this. ⁓ And so in this one, also with the first one, it's like, we have to play the game exactly based on the rules and we have to use weapons from that time, right? And that's kind of a debate within the family, within a couple of the family members of like, I'm Ready: Yeah. Great. Right. Samara: whether or not that's real or, you know, they didn't have these things. So like, can we use this to our advantage now? Right. And in this one, this is, first of all, this is not how you play hide and seek. You do not, you do not drug the, person who's hiding and then drop them in the middle of open area and let them, you know, let the seekers find them that way. That's just like, I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Samara: And so I just feel like I don't even remember what the name of the big bad is. The devil. just, it just seems like, yeah, Labea. Mr. Labea. I don't think Mr. Labea would be okay with us breaking, I say us, them breaking the rules like that. That's not how you play the game of hide and seek. And so that's like such a small, but also it feels like a really big. I'm Ready: Mr. Labao or something? Yeah, I love it, Yeah. Samara: I don't know, it's not a cottonuier, but it just, like plot hole. I'm Ready: Yeah, but yeah, it is a plot hole, think, because we see people break the rules in what happens when you do. We see three people in the movie explode into blood because the rules are broken in different ways. And yeah, they disadvantage her by also chaining her, handcuffing her sister to her, who's not even a part of this at first. Samara: Right. Mm-hmm. Right. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: So it definitely feels like, ⁓ I guess the devil is very strict about some rules and not as strict about other ones and they know which ones to break. Right, exactly, exactly. Yeah, and that's another thing I wanted to say too about this one that in the first movie, again, know, like I'm willing to suspend my disbelief as much as I need to. Samara: The devil is not in all of the details. Just some of them. So yeah. I'm Ready: But in the first one, it makes sense that she does have a chance against these people because they're not trained killers. They're just these people who have to do this thing and they're not like warriors. They work at a board game company is how they made their wealth. But in this movie, it is made very clear that most of these, that at least several of these people have been trained. Samara: Mm-hmm. Right. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: for a long time to kill people. And our characters are somehow, you know, beating them, all of them, consistently. Samara: Right. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Right, and least we not forget, this sequel takes place within 24 hours of what happens in all of the first one. And so, yeah, and here's the deal. Are we overanalyzing a little bit? Probably, yeah, I think so. Because does it matter? No, it really doesn't. ⁓ You know, but I think like, yeah, it's like... So, so she just... I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: survived this literal night from hell and is in the hospital is being questioned for the murder basically the murder of the whole family but but specifically the two bodies that were found were which were ⁓ Adam Brody's character and then Andy McDowell's character and so because they they didn't explode they they died before that happened and I'm Ready: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Samara: So she's being questioned by a detective about it. And then all of this ⁓ happens almost immediately after that, right? And so it is like... I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Samara: There couldn't have been like a week between like I let her recover just a little bit but yes, yeah and you know the the cousin of the twins his name is Kip which I didn't realize his name was Kip until I read it just now on IMDB. Kip talks about his cousins and he's like, ⁓ yeah, their dad trained them. My uncle trained them from the time they were little. I'm Ready: Yeah. Right. Mm-hmm. Hmm. That's funny. Samara: for this exact reason. Because, here's the reason why they're, we, I guess we should probably mention this too. Like, spoiler alert, by the way. ⁓ The whole reason they're doing all these different family members are doing this is so that they can have the high seat at this council and basically have control and all the power of the world. You see at the beginning when you see David Crowe, I'm Ready: Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: Kronenberg's character who is the head of the the council you see him make a phone call as he's watching the news and says all right go ahead and prove the the ceasefire and then it's like breaking news ceasefire has happened and it's like ⁓ okay so it's like implying that hey these people control everything so which is I mean probably not too far off that there's a secret society of ⁓ horribly rich people I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: who control everything. ⁓ I'm Ready: who also just happen to be devil worshipers too. Not related at all. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: Right, right. Yeah, that's the Illuminati though, isn't it? So, yeah, yeah. So, okay. What did work for you in this movie? What did you like about it? I'm Ready: Yeah. Well, so one thing I love I'm so glad that they let our girl Samara look good at towards the end of this movie finally like after just you know for two basically two full movies Getting the crap beat out of her and be covered in blood And I think even poop in the first one maybe in the barn scene there son or something. Yeah Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, definitely animal like carcass. I'm Ready: Yes, yeah, just everything. was like, I'm glad they finally glammed her up, let her look good in this, in that towards the end. yeah, I think, I think the relationship between grace and faith was probably the most, one of the more interesting parts of the movie. And I think that that Samara: Uh-huh. Yeah. I'm Ready: That relationship between two siblings who are in foster care is just something that like, like as they're talking about it in the movie, I'm like, yeah, I can't imagine being in that, in either one of these roles and having to make, you know, the decision to leave and like if you're the older one making the decision to leave and if you're the younger sister trying to understand that and deal with those emotions. And so I thought that that was, Samara: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: you know, a really good and interesting thing that just worked really well and their relationship, you know, it made sense. Their problems made sense. They're back and forth kind of like of I know, like I've been in, you know, arguments with my siblings and sometimes it goes like that where it's like, you feel like you're good and then it comes back and it's like, okay, no, we still have more stuff like we have to work through. And I think that that back and forth worked really well. I think that, ⁓ Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. I'm Ready: I enjoyed the, I did enjoy, despite the fight scene not being my favorite, I did really enjoy the character of ⁓ Grace's husband's ex-fiance being a part of all of this. Samara: ⁓ yeah, her name is Francesca. Yes. I'm Ready: Yes, like Francesca was so funny to me like she came out in the wedding dress and I was like dying laughing And then she rolled up with the rocket launcher and shot it the wrong direction and like That made me laugh so hard like because I did not expect it Samara: That was so funny. Uh-huh. Yeah. That, that, yeah, everyone in my theater laughed at that one. There were probably about 10 to 15 people in my theater and everyone lost it because it was like, because it's like, ⁓ and you knew it was not going to hit hit our girl Grace, but it was like, ⁓ this, this would be terrifying to experience, like stand eye to eye to someone and see, this is a rocket launcher pointed right at me. ⁓ I'm Ready: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah. Samara: And so, but the fact that it went the other direction was amazing. So good. I wasn't sure what to expect. And so that, that happening was just great. Lost it. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's another thing. I think this movie, when it wants to be funny, it is. Like I think most of the funny moments worked and hit for me. And it's like some of the other emotions I think they wanted me to feel didn't work. But I think like when it wanted to be funny, it was. so, yeah, I think there's like we talked about this movie is fun. And despite maybe having some plow holes and stuff, like it's a good time. So what about you? What did you like? Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I also really loved the sister relationship between Grace and Faith. think, you know, I didn't grow up in foster care. Couldn't even imagine what it would be like to grow up in foster care. ⁓ I say I couldn't imagine. I have clients and have talked with enough people who have experienced that or have worked in the foster care system to know it's not a good time. I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. Right. Samara: Like it's really not. And so ⁓ to be with your sister, whether you're the older or the younger one, and to navigate that, it's like, well, no matter what, I have this person with me who will be here to support me no matter what else is happening to us. And the sense of abandonment that faith has I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Samara: and the resentment she has. After she's they've already been abandoned, right? We don't really know anything about I don't recall hearing anything about their actual biological parents or like why they ended up in foster care. But because they're in foster care, you know, they've been abandoned by their biological parents in some way. And so so that abandonment and then the abandonment faith felt from her from her sister Grace, like that's I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: That runs deep, right? that's, but as, as an older sibling, like I can understand and relate to the desire to like, try to go out and do better for yourself so that you can bring your sibling along in some way. ⁓ but it was interesting to see like, they're trying to one up each other the whole time, which is such a sibling thing to do, right? It's like, you know, I'm Ready: Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Samara: Faith is like, well, I live in this really nice one bedroom apartment in New York. And I was thinking, that's not like, but in New York, is a brag. To not live in a studio, it is a brag. ⁓ Right, yeah, to have a one bedroom apartment and not have 15 roommates, that is a big deal. And then talking about her job as like a social media content creator or whatever. I'm Ready: Right. Yeah. Or to not have five roommates. Yeah. Samara: And then her boyfriend, Derek, who works in finance, and they're just like giving each other so much crap for like dating, being with a guy who has money, essentially. And then you find out Derek was not real. Derek was not a real person. She made it up, which is really funny too. ⁓ So, but yeah, I think that they had really good chemistry and it seems like, are you guys actually siblings? I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: Is that the case for you guys? And then same for, which is interesting to see the parallels between those two as siblings, but then also the parallels between Ursula and Titus as siblings, right? obviously there are other terrible rich people here and involved in this, but for sure, Ursula and Titus are like the main bads in this. And so it's interesting to see how I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. Right. Yeah. Samara: Grace and Faith are bickering at the beginning, then as they get closer to the end of the movie, they are solid and together. And the exact opposite is happening with Titus and Ursula, who are twins, who are in theory supposed to be like so tight and so close. And then we see Titus, again, spoiler alert, kill his sister, Ursula, because he felt threatened by her. ⁓ And that sense of betrayal. And so... I'm Ready: Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: It was just interesting to see the parallels and kind of the foils that these two siblings are for each other, ⁓ or sets of siblings are for each other. so, yeah, I really thought that was interesting. Yeah. I'm Ready: Right. Yeah. Yeah, I think. Yeah, it's kind of like ⁓ seeing two people who recognize that there's an issue and trying to like and working through and figuring it out and then two people who won't recognize that like they obviously have very deep issues that they need to fix and work out and you kind of see ⁓ despite like in the beginning of the movie it looks like grace and faith are you know they're constantly fighting their Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm Ready: leaving each other alone and doing all that but at end of the day they ⁓ spoiler again they end up you know together and ⁓ have you know not fixed probably totally but most at least a little fix their relationship and the other siblings one of them kills the other one so it's kind of like Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, it was interesting to see that ⁓ process kind of unfold. I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. Samara: Yeah, I think it is interesting that, you know, Titus and Ursula were acting like everything's cool. And even when she was like, when when Great, no, Faith had the gun pointed at at or maybe it was, I don't remember which one, which one of the sisters had the gun pointed at Ursula. And she was like, she was like, kill him. You know, if you want to kill him, kill him. That's fine. That just means I have it all to myself. And I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: They had a little tussle and then the sisters took off and he was like, you were gonna let them kill me? And she was like, I was just stalling for time. But that was the switch where I think it finally broke. And it's hinted at how he's crazy the whole time. That she has to like reign him in and that was the thing that switched in his head of, ⁓ I'm gonna kill her. So, yeah, yeah. ⁓ I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. Samara: What else? What else stuck out to you? I'm Ready: Yeah, I mean I I like the ending of this movie too. I thought it was fun I do think you know the herd killing Titus was not a shock ⁓ they pretty they telegraphed it pretty what pretty ⁓ pretty blatantly, but I Did really I think you know because at the end of the day? the most satisfying thing that can happen in this movie is all these horrible rich devil worshipers Dying and that's what happened Samara: Yeah. No. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. I'm Ready: So it's like that ⁓ was really fun and I thought, you know, I loved super happy to see Grace win in the end and I'm just hoping, you know, there's not another, you know, another group that's like, ⁓ now she's killed all them and now we can, the rulers of the universe are about to come. Samara: Mm-hmm. a bigger. Yeah. Right, Galactus comes into play somehow. ⁓ Grace is going to return in Avengers Doomsday. Yeah, yeah, I do think you're right. think that they definitely telegraphed. Because like, kept... Every time someone signed, you know, signed in the Big Scary book, they really very much emphasized the pin and how sharp it was because they had to like sign in blood. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: And so it very much is like, hey, this is, is foreshadowing. Um, and so, yeah, they very, they made it very apparent, like he's, he's going to die and he, you know what? He deserved to die. So, and they, they all deserve it because they were all terrible people. Even, even the, I don't remember what her name was, but the like big like bodyguard. on one hand it's like, she works for them, but also you're going to work for these I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he did. ⁓ yeah. Samara: horrible people. But then she also, whenever Grace tosses the ring, that basically it's like, hey, if you're wearing this when the sun rises, you have all the power in the world. You see the bodyguard also dive into the sacrificial pit to Satan and they're all fighting over it. And so seeing them all explode, even the, the cowardly brother who was like, I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Samara: I'm not gonna... I didn't die because I signed everything over so I'm good, I'm good. And then he dies and that's just like, ugh, yeah. So I don't know how they would do a third one and I don't want them to, I don't think. Would I watch it? Probably. Maybe. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, me either. No, I... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. At this point, I don't even know what you could do. I mean, the kind of whole wider organization is dead. mean, we watched all of the cream of the crop of the devil worshipers. I think that's literally what they said in the movie. Was there the cream of the crop? They're all dead. They're all turned to mist. Samara: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Right, yeah. Mm-hmm. I'm Ready: And they're chunky according to the guy sitting in front of me. Yeah, so bad. Samara: Ugh, terrible description. So yeah, maybe here's, they went real big with the second one. And I realized you want to go bigger and better with a sequel, right? That makes sense. I get that. But, you know, I think it maybe would have been different if they had incorporated all of the like North American, you know, members instead of the entire world. I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Samara: And so, I don't know. But you know what? I would probably watch it ⁓ if they came out with a third one, even if it's not necessarily very good. ⁓ So, because the directors, we haven't really talked about them, Tyler Gillett and Matt ⁓ Benettinelli-Opland, they both directed the first one. And I think they wrote the script for both of these movies, but they also I'm Ready: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Samara: have done the most recent Scream films. Well, they didn't do the one that just came out this year. They didn't do Scream 7. They did 5 and 6. And I think that they had a plan for 7. They had something kind of had them as a trilogy. But when all the things happened with the Scream movies, they I think backed out of it. But I'm Ready: Yeah. And then. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. And they had, ⁓ I didn't, I never saw it, but they also did Abigail too, that came out. Samara: Yeah, I was about to say they did Abigail and I was going to ask if you saw it, but I think Katherine Newton was in that too. So clearly they like working with Katherine Newton. So yeah, they've done a few horror-esque movies. So, because they also did VHS. And so, yeah, so. I'm Ready: Yeah, they directed a segment for VHS. They also directed a short called Mountain Devil Prank Fails Horribly. And then they have another short called Roommate Alien Prank Goes Bad. So... Samara: Yeah, so I think like, yeah, please do and share them when you do. Because it definitely seems that they like ⁓ the sort of horror adjacent type of films, you know, because I would say Ready or Not, both one and two are horror adjacent, same for Scream 5 and 6. And I haven't seen Abigail, so can't. Abigail looks more like a horror, but I would guess it's also probably got some comedic I'm Ready: I gotta find those. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Samara: moments in it too. So, but I mean, I have liked their movies and I'm interested to see what they're doing next. ⁓ let's see if it has anything. ⁓ they are directing a movie. ⁓ a TV show with Taylor Logner called Werewolf Hunters. Werewolf Hunter. It looks like it's a documentary. And then they're also, that's really interesting. I'm Ready: Yeah. Okay. Samara: They're also in... it's a pre-production for an untitled... ⁓ They're doing the fourth Mummy movie. With... yeah, with Brendan Fraser and ⁓ Rachel Weiss. So, that's cool. Which again, falls into that same sort of, I think, horror-adjacent kind of genre that they've seemed to kind of... I'm Ready: interesting. Yeah, that'll be. Yeah. Samara: carved out for themselves. I'm Ready: Now I'm falling down the Untitled Mummy Project rabbit hole. ⁓ The guy who's writing it. I'm not given much hope for this movie looking at his. His name is David Cogshell. Cogshell maybe. Samara: Yeah. ⁓ no, who's writing it? I'm Ready: He's written two things that are above a five. Or no, there's a few, I guess, but not a lot of stuff. Samara: Is the Deliverance- was that the one with Sydney Sweeney? I'm Ready: No, I think you're thinking of... ⁓ Ooh, I can't remember now. Not the movie where she's a nun though, that's not this. Samara: Ooh, ooh. No. ⁓ he was a writer on the Scream TV show. I actually, I haven't watched it since college, but I enjoyed watching that in college. So, ⁓ I'm Ready: Okay, yeah, I've never watched that. It also looks like he wrote the, he was a writer on the Lore TV show, which I never watched that, but I used to listen to the Lore podcast like so much. I used to love, especially in college, I loved it. Me either. I'm gonna have to go back now and listen to Mr. Aaron Manke serenade me. Samara: I listened to the lore podcast. I haven't thought about that in years. Wow. Yeah. Because those were like, kind of spooky but not super scary. I'm Ready: Yeah, it was about like more like, I mean, like folklore and stuff and like, yeah, there were some scary, like maybe some scarier stories on there, but it's not like a scary podcast, you know. The show looks kind of spooky, very spooky, though. Samara: Folklore, yeah, which I really liked. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, I really liked it, ⁓ Yeah, I feel like this show looked spooky. I think it was on Prime? So, all right. Well, ⁓ we're at like 55 minutes. Do you have any other thoughts on this movie? Any anything else? I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think so. think, again, like we've said a few times, it's a fun movie. If you like the first one, you should watch this one. ⁓ And yeah, I think this is it for Ready or Not. I think that ⁓ we're not gonna see another one. And ⁓ I'm so curious as to why they moved this movie up because if you guys ⁓ remember from our planning episode last Samara: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. I'm Ready: We were going to watch Ready or Not in October and then we're gonna watch Ready or Not 2 because it was originally supposed to come out in October and they moved it up for some reason. So now we're gonna have to change, we're gonna have to find two, we're gonna be able in October to put two different movies in there. So we've got two open spots. Samara: Mm-hmm. Yeah, which we'll figure it out. We'll get there. We'll probably do something a little spooky. I'm Ready: We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. ⁓ for sure. Yeah. Yeah. We we do. We do. Yeah. But yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm super excited for drama next week. I think this is going to be a super interesting movie and. ⁓ Samara: I feel like we have to, it's Halloween, or it's October. So... ⁓ ⁓ man. I'm Ready: Yeah, I think I saw someone say something that I totally agree with and they've said that ⁓ zendaya and robert Pattinson are a great example of how to market a movie with people who are in a relationship in the movie but not make them act like they're in love with each other while doing all the press and i'm like Yes, this is so true like you can they have good chemistry, but it's not like ⁓ these people are in love with each other and want to cheat on their partners with each other. No, it's like Samara: Yes. Mm-hmm. Right, yeah. Yes. Yes. Right, yeah. on their partner- their very well known partners. Yeah. I'm Ready: Yes, exactly. It's like, ⁓ no, these people like each other and have good chemistry. Like, that's all we need to see. Samara: Yes, yeah. Right. Nan, I am excited to see the drama. I think that maybe this is a conversation for another time. I don't know if we need to get into it with the last few minutes, but I was having conversation the other day with some friends at dinner where we were talking about, who are modern day movie stars? And I think Zendaya needs to be in that conversation. And I I'm Ready: Mm-hmm. Yeah. For sure. Samara: I feel like Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson has done a lot of indie stuff. so mainstream wise, maybe not, but like, obviously Twilight and the Batman. But I think outside of those movies, not a lot of people have seen other things like The Lighthouse or ⁓ Good Times or, you know, whatever else. And so, ⁓ yeah, Tenet. But also Tenet, well, that's a... I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. He was intended to, which is huge. Samara: Nolan movie, it kind of, I feel like I overlooked because it came out around the time of the pandemic. And so I feel like a lot of people overlook that even though it was a freaking trip of a movie and he's good in it too. but I think he has one of the best acting resumes of like more recent movie stars. So. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right. ⁓ for sure. He is on my list now of like, if he is in the movie, I will watch the movie. Like it doesn't matter who the director is. It doesn't matter what it's about. If it doesn't sound interesting me, I'm like Robert Pattinson is in it. I will watch it because like that I know at least there's going to be one good performance because he is good. Even in like. Samara: Mm-hmm. I... Yeah. Mm. Mm-hmm. ⁓ I'm Ready: What's that Netflix movies in the devil all the time even that movie where it's like he's so weak like his performance is so weird and Strange but like it still is good. It's like yeah, and that movie is not that great But it's like he is still so magnetic and interesting in it that I'll watch anything with them at this point Samara: ⁓ yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I liked that movie, but I don't think it's like, incredible, like the best movie ever by any means. liked, I loved his performance in it, though. That the that that is a really specific southern accent. But there's at least one person you know who talks like that, that it's just like, where did you come from? are from the south, but like, where did you come from? So I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, duh. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. We we watched it in college and we would get the the daemons like quote off the top. Samara: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I can't, I know, I know we'll talk about it when we get to that movie too, but the voice, whatever freaky voice he's gonna do in Dune part three, I can't wait. It's gonna be insane. can't, part of me wonders if they're, they're like not gonna release any clips of his character talking in any future trailers for Dune. Just so like, I'm Ready: Thank ⁓ it's gonna be, it's gonna be incredible. Yeah. Samara: when we watch it for the first time and he opens his mouth, it's gonna be the most unhinged and insane voice. I'm Ready: I would guess they're gonna do that, because if I, I don't know yet, I'm reading Dune right now and I wanna read Messiah before watching part three. But I think he's supposed to be a part of this group that are like, they are supposed to be genetically perfect or something, which is funny because of the way he looks. Like in the trailer, so insane. But yeah, I'm sure he's going to have like a. Samara: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. I'm Ready: Something really crazy and weird. ⁓ Maybe he'll just do the his voice from boy in the hair and he'll dust it off Samara: Mm-hmm. Yes, I had that thought too. I had that thought too, because that voice is insane. so. ⁓ Alright, well let's... We can save our glaze for Robert Pattinson and Zendaya for next week when we talk about the drama and also when we talk about ⁓ The Odyssey, Spider-Man, and Toon. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep, yep. You know, we've got two weeks in a row of people who have like five movies coming out this year because we have D-Drama next week and then we have Mother Mary which has Anne Hathaway who I feel like is in every trailer that I see for this year. It's crazy. I hope she's taking a break soon. Like, please stop working. Samara: Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yeah. I would guess she probably is, especially because she has kids and it seems like she's really prioritized her family as a ⁓ working actress ⁓ who's also a mother. I bet she's got a break. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see her in anything for three years. I'm Ready: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, because she has what four movies coming out this year. Gosh, that's so crazy. And Zendaya has just as many. Samara: I think it's five. Yeah, I think I looked the other day and I think it's five. I think Zendaya has four. I'm Ready: And there are four like or like two of them are like mega blockbuster like Going to make like might make a bill both might make a billion dollar type of movies Samara: Yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So what a year for Zendaya and Anathowe. Hey, let's give it up for them. Let's give it up for them. Let's give it up for women everywhere, right? Let me hold on. Let me do my... Yeah, no man doing that. I'm Ready: Let's give it up for them and women. Let's give it up for the women. Ain't no man doing that. Ain't no man doing that right now. Samara: Is it gonna do the clap? Why is it not doing the clap? I'm Ready: Sexist. Riverside. Sexist. Samara: Sexist. Yeah, okay. Well, ⁓ let's go ahead and land this plane then. So. I'm Ready: Yeah, yeah.
