Honeydew

Hi. We were just wondering if we could borrow your phone. Oh, please. It's where I'm at. That was you two must be starving. Room for dessert. There's no online phone service over here. Sound? You like God above me? We work over and don't change my God's feet. Naily? But we have been given an opportunity for an absolutely... It's your killer host, my name is Parker, your resident horror fanatic. I'm Caroline, Scaredy, Scream Queen. I'm Ian, scary movie, skeptic. And welcome to... What's your favorite scary movie as a horror film podcast where we're on a journey to find our favorite scary movie one at a time? Whether you hate them, or love them, join us and discover yours.

Hey guys, hey Parker, what's up? This guy, the pollen levels. Oh yeah, I actually the other day it was wearing a mask in an Uber to my local vaccination site because it was a difficult area to get to and both of my nostrils were a little clogged up and there was a moment where I thought I was actually going to die because I was so mucusy wearing my mask in an Uber and all I wanted to do was pick my nose but I couldn't take That's why you just do the little pinch and rub through your mask. No, that makes a worse. Or you just get a little straight into a scratch. Yeah, it's like a, like a Kleenex attached to your face.

Or you just open the door and follow their driving and just stick my head out, make it. No, just open the door and flop out. I've had a song stuck in my head all day. You know what it is? Hmm. She's a maniac. No, no, but that's a good song, um, that's a good song. Uh, no, Lana Del Rey's honeymoon. And you know what? Instead of singing honeymoon, you know what, I've been singing what? Honey, do. Yeah, honey, do. Nailed it. Nice. Thank you. Yeah. In fact, actually, I was training with Lana Dore herself on how to have a central voice. So leave in the reviews if you were just seduced by my singing. I'm just hanging out with Lana Dore.

Well, you heard it here first, that's right. What's your favorite scary movie is covering Honey Doe? And spoilers, it's happening right now, but not spoilers because Honey Doe comes out on VOD the day after this episode posts. It's been in theaters for about a month. So, we are going to do a bit of a non-spoiler section for all of you people who have not had the pledge of seeing honey do yet so that you can get our basic review of this movie without having the specific spoiled, you can decide if you want to watch it or not. You can go watch it or not and then listen to our spoiler-rific review of honey do. So, buckle up, hold on to your butts because we're about to rock and roll.

I'm squeezing it, squeezing my butt. He's clenched. Clenched. How do you do? Is that like, um, like, the green ones? Yeah, uh, like, when you get mad. Like, uh, like, uh, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like It's honeydew melon. Yeah, it's the green one. I always call those kids who know what. No, can't hope is orange.

I know, but I always used to get them confused which ones musk melon Musk melons. I've never heard of that. You don't like huddle it. I like the orange one, not the green one. Anyone that likes green melon? Cannelope is the orange. But yeah, the green one. I always thought the green one was like the not ripe cannelope. Like I always thought it just wasn't good yet. No, they're different. It's actually a little sweeter. to me debatable. I feel like people put them on a fruit platter, and it's always the thing that it's just like cauliflower. It's the cauliflower of fruit. Okay, well cauliflower is delicious, but yeah, honey do I don't get it. And also, I don't know, maybe I didn't have my glasses on psychic I have 2020 vision, but I didn't see a single honey do in this movie, did you?

No. Okay, well I said we wouldn't do spoilers, so I hope that didn't upset anyone, but no honeydoof from what I can tell in this movie, honeydoof, but honeydoof was released like I said tomorrow. So in the year 2021, and it was written and directed by Devoro Milburn, and this is Devoro Milburn's If I'm saying that correctly, I hope I am, and if I'm not, I apologize. Milburn says he developed the idea after his friend Dan Kennedy, a cinematographer approached him about creating a horror film. So Kennedy did the cinematography and Milburn did the editing for this movie, which I think really makes it feel like an auto or experience. Like I felt like there was vision in this movie and I think that's always fun to see

Yeah, definitely handsy. We have Malen Bar as Riley. She is in an interesting looking upcoming horror film called The Beta Test. Cool name. And some New York City Theatre. Saw your Spielberg. Oh, please the role of Sam. You guessed it. Interesting. He had a small role in the post in 2017 and was a production assistant on Indian and Jones in the Kingdom of the Crystal School. So pretty exciting. He's carving a path away from his father's work. way to go. We also have Barbara Kingsley in the role of Karen. And I actually noticed this during the movie, but she is a theater actress and I could tell. I could, you know, she has that I was getting mad vibes like Hansel and Gretel, the woman who was in that.

Gretel and Hansel. Greta on Hansel, there you go. And that woman was also a broad act on the dress. So yeah, and I, I thought the same thing when she said, she said, you'll listen. I thought, oh my God, take me to the theater. Mm-hmm. Yeah, she was just projecting for that last person in the audience, you know. Anyways, Barbara, Barbara was on Broadway in August, Osage County, and lots of other small roles like the flight attendant and in Jessica Jones. Mm-hmm. Love Jessica Jones. The flight attendant, that was a fun show. Here's a little press release summary. quote, honey do you tells the story of a young couple played by Spielberg and Barr, who are forced to seek shelter in the home of an aging farmer, Kingsley, and her peculiar son.

When they suddenly begin having strange cravings and hallucinations, taking them down a rabbit hole of the bizarre. the rotten tomatoes as of April 9th, the critic score is 74%. The audience score is 19%. Wow. It might be a record low. Oh, I doubt it. I bet we've seen some some rock bottom scores, but, but I'm not saying anything. We'll discuss. We'll discuss. The critics consensus is, quote, atmospheric horror built on layers of creeping dread. Honey do finds fresh Great things for writer, director, de Vero Milburn. Hmm, interesting. Now like I said, we're gonna start spoiler-free. So that you listener can get an idea of whether or not you wanna go watch HoneyDoo. So we're gonna do two things.

The first thing I wanna do is I wanna go around the table and let's all say our favorite thing about HoneyDoo and are something HoneyDoo could work on. And I will take the plunge to start. So my thoughts on honey do, first of all, very cool sound score. There is like a lot of music and sound effects. They're using popular songs like O'Holy Night and the National Anthem. And they're kind of infusing those with... The National, that's probably the most popular And they're infusing it. Some would call it pop. And they're infusing it with, like, synth scores and, like, strange, like, poppy sound effects. You know what I'm saying? [UNKNOWN]: Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, yeah, I thought it was very cool and had a lot of shouldered, bit bore a lot of the weight of building some of the tension, having some of the jarring energy of some of the scares, I thought the sound score was extremely cool.

Now, something I didn't like about this movie is you know, I know, I'm emotional, a little upset. The feeling that I do not like is ending a movie and thinking like, well, I guess I'm stupid. because this movie ended and I was like, I don't get it. And the probably the least fun thing for me to do is to then go to the internet and type in, honey do explained. And since it's such a new movie, none of those are out yet, so I was just like, I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get it. Yeah, I think I have some more detailed thoughts um, more on what they don't. But um, yeah, I think if you are not a fan of kind of a a frustrating or a purpose, purposefully, um, like surreal frustration driven thing, then I think that maybe honeydew might be your new enemy.

Hmm. What do you guys think? I also loved the soundscore slash music, um, but just to make it a little bit different than Parker's answer. I think that they did a really good job in... interweaving but not necessarily like laying the background story out on the table. I forget the term. What it scanders? Yes, there's some sort of, um, it's called Sordico, some sort of toxic then within the weep that has poised into a bunch of cattle and then people who eat the cattle and bake the bread who didn't get rid of the Sordico. Yeah, so I think they did a really good job explaining sort of go. There was like that brief dialogue she's watching the videos.

They actually do a really good job of, you know, like showing the pages that she's reading and like the diagrams and that kind of stuff, where it... wasn't like fully just like, oh, this old lady is going to tell you how it happened, but you get the context clues in a nice way. So I enjoyed that. Also, roll the tapes because a few episodes ago. I don't remember which one it was, but I had read an article about this exact thing. Sort of go. And I mentioned it on the podcast because people were like going crazy. I don't remember what context I mentioned it, but I had read an article that was circulating social media about this phenomenon that happened in the New England area.

Yeah, and I mentioned it. So any true fans out there find the episode. Yeah. Tell me what it was. Profit to find that wind. I remember saying it because I read this whole thing about it and I thought it was fascinating. Well, and thank you because I remember thinking, oh, I should look up if this is real, and then I forgot. So it was wrong then everybody. Here's Caroline's address and you can hunt her down. It was real. I read an article about this and then the movie started and I was like, oh my god, anyways, things I did not like there were like a lot of effects that were used visually Um, like obviously like the split screen thing, that was like a theme, which didn't bother me as much, but there were like little things Where like the screen would go blurry, and I think that they were trying to like emulate like people hallucinating, but there are also some weird like jumps.

but you could tell that they did not actually pan the camera that it was an effect. Yeah, and there were also times where like it would, it seemed to be like they were trying to get the point across that like time has passed or like a word at before time or like something like that, but it wasn't consistent enough for it to really develop as a theme visually, so. I don't know. I mean, it was just an artistic choice, but it didn't like hurt or benefit the film in any way. Yeah. I think like the mix of those effects was like you saying it wasn't enough to develop a theme. I think in a way it actually was thematic in its choice for being various.

It could have been, but I didn't, like, it wasn't enough to actually make it effective. A little tensioner, just like, oh, just like, oh, the screen is blurry for a second. That's the only time we're ever going to do that. Well, Parker, I have a hot take for you if you want a little more tension. Oh, let's hear it. My sizzling. I can feel it. I have a lot of thoughts here, but first I'll open with this. I think almost the exact opposite on everything you just said. So, ow, that was a hot thing. When, like, to me, I, one of the things I didn't enjoy the most, I didn't enjoy the most was actually the way they educated us on the disease.

or the whatever it's called sort of go yeah sort of like talk for some reason and maybe it's just because you know I have a lower IQ than Caroline I didn't actually pick it up as as quickly or as thoroughly as I felt like I should when they were explaining it and I felt like they were very obvious about explaining it but I still didn't get it. And so, that might just me be, but, um, no, no, I get what you're saying because kind of on the opposite of my, my, um, loving the sound score, I had a little bit of trouble with, like, some of the, like, loudness balance. Like, I couldn't always hear what that little document I was saying.

I couldn't always hear what the old lady was saying. Yeah, I remember thinking during that little document or you like, damn, I bet this is important because I don't think they'd probably start the movie with something not important, but um, I, I felt really good. Yeah. Also, side note. I don't know what you all think, but I feel like in the first, like, couple minutes, I, I was clearly like, Oh, this has to be an East Coast scary movie. Um, I know that Devaro Milburn lives in New York and I know that these people lived in New York and, um, but I don't know what you mean, explain. I feel like there's a very clear difference between, at least West Coast and East Coast film, but also transcends into scary movies.

Like I feel like the actors and actresses, the aesthetic of the thing, like the different portions of the film, like the transitions and the, like, you know, like little more theatrical acting, a little more artsy style. I don't know how to put it in words, but it just to me, it didn't feel as indie as, you know, maybe I thought it would be, but because it felt like it was very well done, but it did feel feel very intellectual and very like, um, I don't know, not rough, but refined, but with a rawness that you get from what I experience as New York and East Coast, especially Northeast, like film versus L.A. stuff, for stuff in the West Coast.

That was quite beautiful, Ian. It might start getting some of our listeners angry, but No, I thought that was lovely refined but raw, I like that. I really, it's very interesting film to me. Hmm, well, let's go ahead and if you have not seen Honey Doe and you don't want it spoiled, I would recommend you turn off this podcast right now and set it aside, pause, not stop so that later you can play and we'll be, you can come back and we'll be ready The daughter has no legs! Yes! I'm okay. So my first thought on this, which is something we actually could have said in the non-spoiler, either part because it's happening in the first few seconds.

But so, obviously, the theme, some of the theme of the movie is set up with this, um, I don't know if it's all scripture, but definitely scripture in there about body is a temple. This daughter is saying these things. that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who is in you, who you have received from God, you, I'm not your own, you were bought, you were bought at a price, And therefore, honor God with your bodies. It actually, her voice, you know, that vine, that guy that says, when life gives you lemons, that guy, I didn't realize that was the daughter speaking. I think it was because she was like shoveling food into her mouth while she's saying this body is a temple monologue.

Yeah, so that kind of sets up the theme and that's another one of the things I did like about how any do is this idea of like like what are you putting into your body your body is a temple it needs to be protected obviously um what's her name Riley is like really into that and kind of policing her boyfriend Sam on like what he shouldn't shouldn't be eating because Of course, they're having negative health effects on him and then on kind of the flip side Karen and Company are all about indulgence and they're eating these like really fat meats and cakes and of course people as well And so then, that gets into the interesting territory we've discussed in cannibal films about, you know, eating yourself and consuming humanity.

And what's frustrating to me is that I don't see a connection. in honeydew for what any of that means. I think it's all interesting, but honeydew I think leaves you a little bit of blue balls. Do we know for a fact that we're eating humans? Yeah, she takes a chunk out of his butt and then fries it up in front of the daughter and feeds it to her. Yeah, what was his name? Was his name Goony? Yeah, so they're basically like goony is like her cattle. Yeah, um, because she said they had to get rid of the cattle. So goony is the people are their new cattle like I said I did feel a little frustrated with an index I didn't feel like I really got what had happened and it's this like whole trippy so the thing that's frustrating to me also about like the synopsis

is that it says like in the summary that Ian read, it says when they suddenly begin having strange cravings and hallucinations taking them down a rabbit hole of the bizarre. And I just don't think any of that was clear. These are not strange cravings because they're eating cupcakes and corn and what they think is stake that I assume is people. Um, those are normal things to eat. And then to me, it just like wasn't very clip like I remember thinking like, oh, I bet maybe there's some sort of co in the bread she's baking and maybe it's also in the meat as well, but then I never really felt like they've been drugged like I don't know.

I'm just not quite sure. What that whole Alice and Wonderland thing didn't show you that they were drug. No, it did But the thing is is like, but it was all real in the end. No, it wasn't. They didn't hallucinate in it Yes, it was because then they woke up and they were also wrapped up and No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

And he's like literally in that- The Pope, I think. Tell us in Wonderland. Yeah, and then the- There, it's like a fever dream with all of the cartoon storylines and him. That was a dream. In the barn. But like, that also was my least favorite part of the movie. I thought that was not good. That felt low budget. But I just like, I don't know. I felt like nothing was meaningful enough. You know, it was just like, here's a couple of ideas, and let's move on. I don't know. I think I would challenge that that it was pieced together well, especially with the, you know, the cartoons playing. There's like little things that you pick up on that they're like mirroring.

And I think it's because they're in this, they're all in this mental state and they're just like watching that constantly. But like, It shows Betty Boop at the end, you know, taking the cake and then, like, eating a little of the icing, like, exactly the way that Karen had done with the cupcakes and the fridge. I mean, pick that up. And then also, like, Betty Boop is, like, kissing another character on the cartoon, and then it's, like, shortly after that, it's that weird scene where she's, like, making her daughter have sex with salmon. that whole thing. I can't pick up those scenes. There's a good amount of correlation between the frames in the cartoons that they chose to show with what's happening.

Yeah, and I did like the cartoons. Did you guys see the Netflix film? I'm thinking of ending things last year. No. No. So, I think that this movie is like a very exact child. Like, and it's tough because, obviously, Deborah Milburn did not see anything even in things before he made this movie. So, that is just a reference, but then that and Texas chainsaw massacre. Obviously, that was a huge inspiration for this movie. not only does it have like a similar grit to it or is Ian said rawness, but also and not just cannibalism either, but the emphasis on family and lineage and the importance of like the kitchen and the dinner table. I think that there are some really strong correlations there

What's interesting, you saying that I'm going to throw a wrench into our listenership, like you draw lines between Texas chainsaw and this movie, but not to spoil the ending. Why would I spoil it? Why would I enjoy this movie over Texas chainsaw? What is the nuance? You're going to find in by the quality of Texas chainsaw, masqueror. Well, it's not the, it's not the, the, No, because I don't like the newer Texas chain cells either. Yeah, because they're replicating similar quality. Calm down, calm down. This isn't a Texas chain cell. No, it's the references and the themes that are the same. It's not that I'm saying this is the same as the Texas chain cell. In fact, I think the vibes are somewhat different.

It's that I think that the films, this film is definitely having an interplay with the themes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, like I said, a family and then kind of eating the world, consumerism, of course, cannibalism, consumerism. eating, who are you willing to step on to get to what you want? So like, she wants Karen wants her family, and so she's willing to eat all these people that come through so that she can have the family that she wants. And I think that's a very Texas chainsaw thing. But again, like I don't get, so the movie ends, of course, with the daughters had on some sort of like, was it like it looked like a teddy bear to me?

Um, and then like Barbie dolls, she like, makes them have sex. Yeah. And so, yeah, I'm not quite sure, because it's like, so why is she eating them? If she's then wanting to use their, their fluids for procreation, like, I don't know. I'm a little confused. What do you guys think? I, that really threw me off. I don't know, and then like, if they were bearing the daughter at the beginning of the movie, but she wasn't dad, then why do they have all funeral? Maybe they weren't bearing the daughter. Who would they have been bearing then? I don't think we see any other character. someone who ran out of meat, I don't know, I don't know.

Yeah, I think just there's so, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there are just so many questions that go unanswered, but to me just in ways that aren't like, ooh, I have food for thought, but more like, what? That frustrates me a little bit. Yeah, also the, the, the, dad, youless, what, who does not, youless, what's his name, youless, youless, you, you, he doesn't seem as out of it as the rest of everyone. Like, Karen has clearly been affected by this. The daughter is like dead. Completely brain dead. Like, he just seems like a good old boy who listens to his wife. Yeah, but also, I feel like she has very clear moments. And Sarah always made me wonder like, yeah, is she acting crazy just to crazy or is it in and out because she has very clear moments to I think it like she's like high.

Yeah, maybe. I found Karen absolutely hilarious. I love every every second. She was on screen. I was like, oh, give me another line. Give me another one. That was so fun. Um, that first shot of birth in the screen when she just smiling at Sam. Yeah. Uh, she just, you know, Hi Sam, she is just so funny, and if you want to talk about an actor, chewing up their material, Karen, she is eating it. She is like, oh, you want to perform in? I'll give you a performance baby. Yeah, she nailed that role. Yeah, I thought she was hilarious. Something I do really like about honeydew is how it's vicious. Like this is an upsetting depressing disturbing movie.

This is a movie that's not interested in making us feel happy as viewers or comfortable as viewers. I think that's always really exciting in horror. I think when movies go too far out of their way to be like well we don't want people to leave the theater and tell their friends like oh don't go see that that's a bummer you know that's annoying so it's nice that this movie was like you know what this movie's a bummer and we're not going to try and hide it if we're just going to be weird and a bummer and so kudos honey do for doing it as hard as it does it yeah yeah But on the flip side, a little bit weird for the sake of being weird.

I like some of the split screen stuff because sometimes necessary, it's showing us visual parallels that are interesting sometimes. It's doing it to be cool. And there are a few things like that throughout the movie where it's like, is this necessary? I feel like at the beginning, I enjoyed it, but like, I felt like there were some pacing and like Wes Anderson inspirations on some of the scenes and also the narratives at the beginning and I was like totally here for where I thought it was going in the first 10 minutes with the how the script and the narration was going with the characters. Then I feel like a transition out of this quirky creative back and forth into a traditional plot, I don't know what you'd say, script.

No, yeah, I agree with you. It was predictable. Yeah, there was a as soon as Riley goes quote unquote missing that was a turning point for me like actually post Alice in Wonderland dream sequence and maybe that's on purpose. I think I would agree there. I think like I was with it vibe in with it up until that point and then once they kind of just went into the spiral of like, oh, we're in a weird spot and they're going to eat us. Like, I didn't keep up that creativity. I think it was even earlier for me. I think as soon as I realized, like, oh, they're not getting back out of this house for the rest of the movie, I think that's when I was kind of like, oh, I even thought at one point this was going to be a monster movie.

There are some like zooming shots through the forest. I was like, oh, something's out there. Yeah, but it became something where as soon as they got to the house, I was like, oh, that lady's crazy and as soon as they started showing like the meat, the raw meat, I was like, oh, I bet you see that's people. So I just thought that it was, it was a little too much. I could, I could predict, and I've said on this podcast, I'm a bad predictor. I'm bad at guessing twists always shock me. But, um, this one I was kind of like, oh, I know where I had it, and then it did. And also, I thought the movie was going to be Goryer.

I thought it was going to be violent and gross, and then it wasn't. And I wish it, I think it would have been, if it's going to be this weird, I think seeing a little bit more, it doesn't even have to be Goryer gross, but seeing just things that are more grotesque, I think would have been more unsettling. It was almost like the movie felt a little too clean and safe, and then at the end it was like, oh, okay, it's sad, I guess. Yeah, I'd be only, like, real gore is the blood coming from the eyes. There's a scene in the weird pop-eyed dream sequence where his stomach is kind of ripped open. Oh, his stomach.

But it doesn't look bad. It doesn't look like his stomach is actually ripped open. I will say I did have a jump scare when the old lady attacked him from behind. I jumped. Yeah, she moved very quick. Is very kind of... What's up with the lemons? When life gives you lemons? Like... or they don't know what's salt and they don't have to kill the shots. She also dips the meat in lemonade before giving it to the daughter. Well, I wonder if because citrus is acidic, if maybe that's kind of like they're all high on this sort of coin, that's kind of their jolt of reality. Like, please let me out of this. I'm going to eat so many lemons that I'm saying.

I don't know. That's just a thought. Enjoy my incomplete thought. to be able to do that? I don't know, I'm just guessing, like, of all the things they're eating, like they're eating a lot of wheat and meat and lemons are the only thing off the top of my head. I can think of that maybe couldn't have sort of go in them. That's what I thought, I figured it was like, they're, yeah, their way of not consuming sort of go. Yeah. I don't know if I'll ever look at a plate of meat and potatoes the same. I don't know if I'll ever look at a kiddo gram all the same way because I'll be wishing the whole time that she would be like, oh, what did she say that's so funny?

Oh, you're a couple of sticks. Yeah, my mom says it all the time to me. Does she, I'd never heard that before, and I thought, sticks! Good snap you're like a chicken. Oh All right, you can just snap in Do you guys have any last thoughts about the movie before we do our wrap up questions? I just have like lingering questions about like little things that they introduced that I thought would have bigger meanings, but they didn't. Yeah. Like the radiator and it being hot in there, I don't know. Yeah. That seems like a thing, and then it was not. Well, I think there's only one murder in this movie if I'm remembering correctly. So. What would you say is your most memorable moment from honey, do?

I think just because it definitely definitely made me jump is when the lady puts the shot or pulls the meat out of the guys but from behind or whatever you just she did. Pulls the meat out of his butt. in the barn. No, she's out the shot. She tranquilizes him. Yeah, she's tranquilizing him or tranquilizes him. That was made me jump. So I had memorized that. meat in the butt hot well why did they have oxygen then if I thought I know those were drugs they were sedating them with the um yeah I don't know what that would dedicate almost yeah like uh maybe a little laughing gas or something That's why they took them off, and they were like, Um, I think, when, uh, what's the guy's name and has the goofy name?

Goony. What's his name? You list? Goony. Goony. Goony is carrying, when Goony is carrying Riley out, and then gets stuck in the trap, and then Karen comes along and is like, I don't know, loving, even, I don't, weird relationship there, and then I realize what she's been carrying around that whole time is the thing that they used to kill cows with. Yeah, a little bit like arrogant thing. That was a moment. And I also, that, I mean, this whole movie did, but that moment in particularly took, in particular took me to Texas chainsaw when they go through that big description at the beginning about how they killed the cows, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I think the same thing when she is so like distraught that she has to kill Gouni but also like she's evil.

So of course she's going to do it. It's another thing where it's I do like these things where this like diminished idea of family and that she's creating her own little family but ultimately she's she's number one. She doesn't care about her family. I'm a matriarch of course. I am going to pick for my most memorable murder moment. Excuse me. Caroline, I like what you were talking about with him carrying Riley. I thought that was very gorgeous. but I think I'm going to go a little bit sooner to when she is cooking them dinner and not even a specific moment I just think her little mannerisms are so funny like how she's not really saying anything but Riley's like oh I'm a vegan and she's kind of shovels around and then she's turns around with like two little stalks of corn and Riley's like that'll work and she's like you know like just going around the kitchen so I think that that would be it for me

On a scary scale, one to five, how would you rate our honey do? I'd give it a three and a half. Oh, wow. You were scared? I think it's creepy, and I like that kind of, like, suspenseful creepiness. I enjoyed it. I would give it a, two, and a half. Hmm. I'll give it just a flat, too. I think it's disturbing. I think it's gross. I think it's gritty and grimy. But not particularly scary, IMO. So then, I'm feeling a little upset on the podcast. Would you give honeydew a smash? or a slash I will be giving Honey do a smash. I think there's a lot of opportunity for improvement with this movie It is far from perfect and the plot is also Need some reworking but Overall aesthetically First of all, we didn't even talk about the coloring in this freaking movie.

Go for it. Beautiful just like the contrast and the depth of the colors I just felt were perfectly executed. But it's that, like I said, that New York style film that I just can't get enough of, you know, you know, you're in your mid teens and you're kind of, you know, going through that. No phase and you're like moody and you like think up these cool ideas and then you go to film school that is what you're getting here Yes, I'm here for I wish I wish the first 10 minutes was the entire movie and then it would be a upset But for now, it's just a smash Yes, I would call this a very A24 aesthetic movie and I know that you're a fan of the bad boys like mid-Summer and hereditary.

Yeah, it's they want to be A24, they're not there. But they're in training and yes, Devoro Milburn when they began conceptualizing this film was at NYU. So you're right on the money. Oh, I know I am. Caroline. I am taking this honeydoe, raising it above my head, and smashing it on the ground. It's a smash. Wow! Okay, because I was like, that's an interesting wave describing that because that sounds negative, but positive. But if it were a slash, I would say, fruit ninja, knife, slash. Well, you know what? It's a smash. Just pass that samurai sword to me because it's a slash. I, you know, I think that what you said earlier about how you have some lingering questions.

I think there are good lingering questions in there are bad lingering questions. And I just, I have bad lingering questions. More in the style of God's syllabus is Kong, where I'm like, but I just don't get it. Like it just doesn't make sense to me. Um, not, not like, ooh, how fun I have questions. And if you want to hear us discuss Godzilla vs Kong, you can of course head over to our patreon at patreon.com slash scaring movie pod. How can you put this movie in the same bucket as Godzilla vs Kong? I know, that movie's far superior. No, my god. Alright, but we don't want to spoil, we don't want to spoil for those who want to go over to Patreon.

Alright, so on that note, you ladies, what's your favorite scary movie? I'm sticking with Wrong Turn 2021. And I, like I said, first 10 minutes, I was like, oh, shit, upset city, but unfortunately it is not going to upset. I'm going to stick with Black Swan. Hmm, and I'm going to stick with the strangers pray at night, which we covered on our Patreon. So, speaking of Patreon, we will not be back next Monday, April 19th.
