Cruise or Hanks?

Cruise as Hugh or as the naked guy on the roof

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:17:21Read transcript
  • It's obviously Cruz (as transcribed): Risky Business Cruz of 1983 as Hugh, or Cruz right now as the scary naked guy on the roof, Digger Cruz.
  • A Digger tangent: it wasn't hated as much as people did and was liked, and the official zag on Digger is expected when it hits streaming.

Picking Nits

A movie date while being followed; romancing her instead of a random woman or sex worker; the naked guy on the roof; whether gunshots stop it and why it bleeds; no further police involvement after she reported the kidnapping; the shell phone's video function

  • Would you go on a movie date if you were being followed, and why is Jeff Hugh romancing her when he could find a random woman in a bar or a sex worker.
  • Jeff Hugh is called the biggest scumbag in the movie, taking her to a diner like an Applebee's after the date.
  • Why was the naked guy standing on the roof without going to the house; asked in a Reddit AMA how he got on the roof, the director answered very carefully.
  • Do gunshots kill them or slow them down: it disappears and comes back in some other form, as Yara got back up, and why it bleeds that much in the pool has the answer that it looks really cool.
  • At some point they should let law enforcement know more, though she is nervous nobody will believe her; the hosts correct themselves that she did tell the police at first that Paul (as transcribed) kidnapped her, and the police said they could not find him; the nitpick is why there is no further police involvement once guns are involved and Greg is killed across the street.
  • Does the shell phone have a video function to record the entity, given good video cameras on phones by 2014.

Sequel, Prequel, Limited Series, or All-Black Remake

They Follow; no prestige TV version; a prequel with the tall guy as the original It

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:22:30Read transcript
  • They Follow, or They Follows, is coming, but this conversation shows why there should not be a prestige TV version: they'd have to answer too many questions.
  • A Carrie tangent: all eight episodes watched over a weekend in Boston, called really good though the framing lore and coven aspect weren't needed, with a lot of Lillard as the principal.
  • They Follow has Justine Lupe from Succession, Jackie Earl Haley (as transcribed), Melora Walters and Michael Gandolfini.
  • An It prequel would reveal Tall Guy as the original It, who played basketball in Romania and pissed off a witch on an away game in Transylvania.

  • The answer is Long Legs, who invented this.
  • Stephen A. apologizes as Hugh for the movie theater date, having a sexual entity demon following him and still taking her out, correcting himself midway like the Lane Johnson apology: he took Jade (as transcribed) to see Charade and it was a ruse, then it wasn't a ruse.
  • Jeff Hugh lives and doesn't really apologize: he gave her the wrong name, Kevin, faked a house he was renting with prescription pills, and when they find him through yearbooks he sits on the lawn and leaves, with nobody calling the cops.

Clarence Worley Should Have Died

A clearer final follower; Jay and Paul as evil spirits; a what-have-we-done news report ending

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:26:31Read transcript
  • Should Jay have died, or should it have been more clear they were being followed at the end, since the last person wasn't wearing weight (as transcribed).
  • It's conceivable that Jay and Paul are both evil spirits walking around.
  • Instead of a Graduate ending, the two of them walking down the street, a news report of sex workers across Detroit dying mysteriously would leave them on the couch thinking about what they've done.
  • That ending would answer the lack of accountability for Paul's move, maybe Jay's with the boat guys, and Jeff Hugh's; Stephen A. apologizes to the three men on the boat.

Probably Unanswerable Questions

Where does Jay's date rank among the worst movie dates? Was naked guy on the roof an It? Does it work for all kinds of sex? Did Paul wear a condom? How does the entity choose its form? What if everyone had sex at once? Could you isolate the person? Does its touch kill, and could having sex with it reverse the curse?

In the discussion (13)
Approx. transcript time · 01:27:53Read transcript
  • Where does Jay's date with Hugh rank among the worst movie dates in movies: Ellen Barkin and Mickey Rourke in Diner, and Jada Pinkett and Omar Epps at the premiere of Stab, where she gets stabbed to death.
  • Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson at the theater in The Departed, and the family outing in Cape Fear with a cigar in the theater, are added.
  • What if Naked Guy on the Roof wasn't an It but a neighborhood creep, grandpa out again; the movie is called a bellwether for old people being scary.
  • Does it work for all kinds of sex: David Robert Mitchell has answered in interviews that it works for queer sex and condoms don't work, and the hosts debate non-penetrative sex between two women.
  • Does digital penetration count, the kids could have tested the limits, and the demon is on its own clock, since Greg is sure he beat the system before his own mom gets him.
  • In a threesome all three people get it, which raises whether she had sex with all three boat guys.
  • Did Paul wear a condom with the sex workers: probably not, since he would want it spread, so Paul probably got a real STD.
  • Is Jay off sex for a while; she does not enjoy sex with either Paul or Greg.
  • Does the entity choose a person to get to who it wants to kill: the answer is it shows up as what will unsettle you, a loved one or a seven foot Romanian basketball player, with naked Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy and Ben Roethlisberger imagined.
  • What if everyone in Detroit had sex at the exact same time; it's just one entity with a clear path, so whoever you have sex with is next.
  • One human sacrifice in government solitary confinement, a block of ice, burial 500 feet underground or outer space like the Martian, but it can get on a plane or a space shuttle, and when that person dies it comes back to Jeff Hugh.
  • Earlier, flagged as an unanswerable, the hosts argue whether Jay had sex with the boat guys at the lake to buy herself time before the pool and Paul.
  • One more idea after the double feature: when the It touches you, do you just die, and could you reverse Uno it by having sex with the It; since it grabbed Jay by the hair and her ankle without killing her, the touch is not enough, and it has to have sex with you, grinding against you, as seen once with the mom.

The Coach Finstock Award for Best Life Lesson

Don't have sex with a guy named Hugh

In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 01:35:56Read transcript
  • Don't have sex with a guy named Hugh, though his name could secretly be Jeff, a stealth Jeff, and you can't take all Jeffs off the table.
  • Should she have known, having never gone inside his house out in the city, where he ran in, popped a pill and read a porno mag?
Friday the 13th

Most Rewatchable Scene

Marcy and Jack's deaths

In the discussion (19)
Approx. transcript time · 00:29:43Read transcript
  • The walk-through starts with the opening scene set in 1958, where counselors sing Michael Rode, Roll the Boat of Shore (as transcribed) before Jason's mom takes them down, and the sex scene never comes.
  • Because of that song it may be a religious camp, which leads to a riff on over the pants contact and the acronym OTPHJ, which one participant, who grew up in Baton Rouge, had never heard.
  • Annie's car ride to Camp Blood, the journey to Crystal Lake, is a good horror setup: a local who coexists with the evil tells her to stop and get out, and the truck driver who gives her a ride grabs her ass as she gets in.
  • A participant who left the Sycamore office imagines being told that Simmons' house is where people go to die, and refusing to come over.
  • She heads to a camp in the middle of the woods while a whole diner warns her off, with a left at the cemetery as another red flag; the butt grab is thought to have been directed, and one participant got nervous the driver was another Texas Chainsaw guy.
  • Starting the killing with a character outside the main narrative shows how much danger everyone else is in; the sequels, especially two and three, open with the last 10 minutes of the previous movie to get a kill in, because the next 40 minutes are kids hanging out.
  • Her scene ends in a graphic throat cut; it is her second hitchhiking ride, and after getting away from the first guy she seems comfortable with the next person, whose car keeps going past the sign.
  • The mom as the villain was a zag in the theater, and it makes sense because every victim greets the killer from the killer's POV; it later became legend, with a film bro kid in middle school explaining that it is actually Jason's mom.
  • Jack, Kevin Bacon's character, and Marcy buying it are a couple of good deaths: the through-the-bed death was filmed with his head over the bed and a fake body, and Jack probably died happy with a quick arrow through the throat.
  • Marcy getting the axe to the forehead is a disappointing death because she saw it coming, and the last thing she sees is the scariest thing in the world.
  • Jason's mom is called one of the greatest female athletes ever, killing since 58 and getting better over time like Derrick Henry, versatile enough to throw a body through a window and keep her blue sweater clean.
  • At the end she explains her reasons like she is doing a podcast, a gimmick Fruising (as transcribed) also had, prompting an impression of Matt Bellany (as transcribed) asking whether one death is a good enough reason to kill the counselors.
  • Alice finds Bill and the rest of the bodies, Bill with an arrow through the eyeball, and builds a barricade compared to Minecraft Mike Tomlin; then Jason's mom shows up saying they were making love while the young boy drowned.
  • Betsy Palmer loses what is scored like a UFC fight, 50 to 45; Alice sitting with her back to the house after leaving her attacker is called a strange choice and a trope, topped only by Jamie Lee Curtis dropping the knife in Halloween.
  • The fight is a lot of shin and box kicking and a frying pan, ending in a good slow-motion decapitation with the machete and the music.
  • The second ending in the canoe is one of the scariest things one participant ever saw; the newcomer whose reaction is requested calls it legitimately shocking, the only scary part for them, having expected a little tease with two minutes left.
  • The ending is thought to be influenced by Carrie's hand coming out at the end and to have been Tom Savini's idea for one more button; Jason was not yet envisioned, his disfigured body is called great, and the jump scare was often imitated afterwards.
  • The pick is Marcy and Jack dying, where you just know you're in Friday the 13th, called the biting of the apple, and another participant had the same scene; it is funny that it is Kevin Bacon, with the softball line quoted.
  • The last participant asked for a most rewatchable scene agrees with the others.
