But anyway, we're on the side of a mountain in North Carolina. We had Parker travel all this way because we were covering all 12 hours cabin in the woods and we thought we have a cabin in the woods immersion yeah and I thought I cannot I cannot sit at home when the most momentous occasion of our entire lives is transpiring right the second balance right now

be shuddled here. Scurry down to the mountains to get to Carolina, and because down to the mountains. Oh, so south. Yeah, she was I'm talking part of her house about when she comes. You'll never believe such a different context now. This is, you can climb on the mountain. Listen to that, there's no delay. We can just really feed off of each other. This is what we call riffing. Usually, it's like Caroline says something. And then 10 seconds later, I'm like, What? What are you saying? Or all say something I think is funny. And then 10 seconds later, Caroline's like, Does that mean we're doing this weekly? You're a journey down the road. 24 hours on the road.

No comment. Anyways, Parker, what was this moment just occasion that you just had to see our faces? Well, it's not even life changing for just me, just you or just you. It is life changing for the listener. It is life changing for the country and the world. It is life changing for... Culture, culture, cinema, podcast, what else is out there? There are movies. A technology, Apple, Amazon, consumerism, developers, developers, greed, okay, so now that we What did you do? I'm gonna end this for you. Yeah, that we have sacrificed, or given tribute to the, the commerce, the commerce gods of America. We can reveal that today, right now in your ears, whenever you're listening, it is the 100th episode of What Your Favorites.

It feels like just yesterday, and in the words of Parker's father, this wasn't even a thought in the ball-sax. I didn't know where that was going to go. And here we are, 100 episodes deep. Well, I would like for everyone to raise a glass, including you, listener. For the record, Caroline is raising an off-deep woods, misguid us, right? Bugs, right? And I would like for us to all cheers right now. What's your favorite scary movie? Cheers. 100 episode! Oh, man, in real life, our listeners are going to love this. The sweet scent of bug spray, can you taste it? Yeah, it's all in your drinks now, sorry. We're also recording this live outside on a porch, so if you hear a little knee, sure.

We did had a little ambiance with this episode. Yeah, we actually have a live DJ in the background playing nature sounds just for the occasion. I hired a hundred band of crickets. That's where all our Patreon money is gone. Yeah, a hundred piece made. Nature ASMR. All right, all right, all right, all right. So for our hundredth episode, I thought what better way to celebrate than with a movie, let me tell you. I've actually been saving this movie. People have been writing in the fans have been clamoring for the cabin in the woods and I thought I refuse. I refuse to watch this until I can sit in a room stare at Caroline and Ian as they watch the movie.

And we had a lot of time to stare. Dreams come true, it's true. Carolina needs Wi-Fi sucks. And so we took mini-shared break to, you know, just past the time and bond a little bit. Yeah. It's a... Sound great. The start of a scary movie. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, a little truth or shraid. Yep. And... Should we get into it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have wasted enough of time. So yeah, the cabin in the woods We're in a cabin in the woods and you know what the true cabin in the woods is what my heart and my chest And we're all just in there That's not my best, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the cabin in the woods, cabin in the woods, that was rough.

You may know, or you may not, if you're sitting at a table with me, that this movie came out in the year 2012, but it did not come out in the year 2012. It did, but what was supposed to come out in February of 2010 from MGM, but was delayed by MGM because they wanted to rework it But I hated that phase. It was not in 3D because then MGM went under financially and delayed it indefinitely as it transitioned to new leadership. Then MGM's new executives wanted to get rid of all of the projects that were made under the old leadership. I could see this being a 3D movie. Yeah, maybe. I don't want to. I don't want to.

I don't want to. 3D is what I meant. Well anyway, they sold it to Lines Gate and then it was released in April of 2012. So it was quite the journey here, as I've mentioned on the podcast before, Scream 4 came out in 2011, this came out in 2012. Your next came out in 2013. So the cabinet in the woods, directed and co-written by Drew Goddard. This was his directorial debut, can you believe that? Wow. That's all given around over applause. He went on to write and drag bad times at the El Royale in 2010. Oh, that makes sense. Does it? It does. Okay, it doesn't make sense, but again, congrats to him. Yeah, we all saw them.

He also wrote Cloverfield in 2008, World War Z in 2013. He created the Netflix Daredevil series and wrote episodes of Lost, Alias, Angel, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This was also co-written and produced by Joss Weedon, who was best known as the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and the director of some Avengers shit, and recently the infamously reviled theatrical cut of Justice League. It's been known for a while that Just Weedon sucks, and it really blew up last year when Ray Fisher from Justice League accused Weedon of severe mistreatment and cruelty on the set of Justice League, which many co-stars corroborated and then Buffy Stars, particularly charisma carpenter, started sharing their horrible experiences with him on set as well.

So you know what I don't love? Bugs. People who are mean for no reason, so Just Weedon, get out of town. We did not support that behavior in this podcast. Get out of here. Um, for reference, while the movie was loading last night to watch, um, the little screenshot that shows up under the title, and looked at it and was like, I feel like this is going to be like, Buffy the vampire slayer. And what do you know? Just out of nowhere. He called that. I'm pretty good at that. Out. Okay. Are you? I think I'm pretty good at like. For reference, it was a man in a Letterman jacket, so you had it. You guys need to give me a compliment at some point.

I am good at being like, oh, this has that vibe. Sometimes you say things that are just way off though. Yeah, that was actually crazy because there's no reason for you to reference that. Then I was like, well, right on the money this time, We have Kristen Connelly as Dana, she was in the Bay in 2012 and House of Cards. Hmm, I've not seen, I have not particularly- Me, well, I watched the first season. I thought y'all loved it, that's why I put it in. Uh, we also have Fran Cranz, as Marty. Um, he was a fun character. Yeah. Like Tim, uh, he was in the village in 2004, and you might be the killer in 2018.

Also Jesse Williams, as Holden, he was in the remake of Jacob's latter in 2019. And Grace Anatomy, those eyes. I didn't even know that and then I saw on his list that he was in a lot of grades in Adam. Oh, he's like one of the stars pretty prominent character and I'm just like looking at him. He's beautiful. Quite the stomach on that guy but in your opinion. I'm... those eyes. I feel okay. I could talk about those eyes all day. Um... Keep going. This may be also a star. It's Chris Hemsworth as Kurt and a Hutchinson as Hutchinson as Jewels. So Gourney Weaver was the director? Yes. That is her character. She's the director. Oh, oh, oh, that's right.

That's right. Also directed by Sigourney Lee. And I literally giggle. Yeah. She popped up at the end. She walked, well, I was, you hear her voice on the elevators. And I thought that maybe you'd connect that to finding Dory. Yeah, yeah. But you did it because I was like looking at you waiting for you to come. Well, she has that. I mean, a lot of people have that like voice, you know. Well then her head bobs up at the end and you just go. So that was fun. And Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford. Two big stars. They were the guys behind the horror horror. The guys behind the horror. If you know what I mean. Bradley Whitford had a big old crush on him from the west wing.

And then you want to watch his asses fast for you. He really wants. He, uh, aged. But. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

And summary of this movie goes a little like this. Oh, no, some like this. A group of your average college kids are headed out for a little lake vacay as they're being observed by some sort of suit and tie corporate guys. Slowly, the college students start slipping into archetypal characteristics and behaving as including reading Latin from a book that awakens a family in Hillbilly zombies. They're picked off one by one until only two remain, sneak into a secret elevator, and discover an underground facility full of scary movie monsters. Massacre, the director of the organization explains that ancient gods live beneath the earth and must receive the sacrifice of five teens, virgin optional, to keep them at bay.

The two survive and the old gods awaken the end. Wow! First take. Now that. The Rotten Tomatoes Critics score is a 92 percent, and the audience score is 74 percent. Critics consensus is quote the cabin in the woods is an astonishing metafete capable of being funny, strange and scary frequently all at the same time. What's your consensus Parker? which is why scheduled it for 100th episode. I saw this movie in 2012 in the movie theater and was obsessed with it and watched it a lot of times in high school and I think it's an absolute delight through and through I think it's funny. you'll know that I like to laugh in my horror movies. I think it's a little scary jump here and there.

It's gory, which is always what you need when you have a horror comedy. And yeah, that's kind of my base, my overall. What about you? I didn't know anything about this movie and it threw me for a loop in a very delightful way. One of the first things I said when I was like starting to catch on to the plot was, is this like hunger games? Hmm, not too far off, but I love the layers that it threw in there. Hmm, hmm, well you guys are really making me feel good. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

you know, when I was going into this movie, the cabin in the woods, you just assume you're going to get a cab any movie. But I don't think, like, I don't, I wouldn't put this in the genre of backwards cabin movies. I know that might be a shock. But I don't think this genre Well, originally I was thinking like, oh, this is literally what Tucker and Dale is fun of like that category of movies that they were playing off there, especially like stopping at the gas station, like the creepy guy, the RV and like all of that stuff. What year was Tucker and Dale? I think he's around 2009 maybe? Oh. But they had plenty of stuff to play off of then before this movie, but then as soon as we get that little glimpse where the eagle was flying over the mountain and that little glitch in the system, I was like, oh shit, this is taking a turn, I did gas when that happened, I was like, all right, here I am.

Yeah, well, in your right that it's not like a backwards horror movie because it's making fun of those backwards horror movies just like the Tucker and Dale and even though maybe more like slasher movies because I think what the whole point of the movie is obviously it has the little cut scene with the Japanese horror movie going on at the same time where they're running that similar trial in Japan And so this movie is supposed to be a parody of all American horror movies, so it's taking a note from, you know, like the guy at the gas station in Friday the 13th, obviously the cabin has some big time evil dead vibes, some hillbilly people, maybe reminiscent of like a combo of like

Texas chainsaw and the hills have eyes and Who else could those people be I mean wrong turn and had the RV in there? Yeah, yeah, and then of course the teens which are why they use the RV, I'm not quite sure. Yeah, you got to go to a cabin. You know, we're also what they'd be rolling their joints. The five teens, I think, is the focus of the movie and that's the format of the slasher movie. And so, of course, we find out at the end that they're supposed to fit the archetypes of the horror, the athlete, the scholar, the fool, and the virgin. And also, you know, like the full's name is Marty, which is like Randy from Scream.

So I think this movie is really pulling a lot of references, even before you get to like the the labyrinth of horror movie monsters that are down there. Did any of you think that they didn't really do a good job like developing the characters? Like, I feel like it didn't get to know. I feel like part of that was purposeful because the whole point of having those different characters is that they fit those arcades. Yes, and that's the point also is that we don't know the characters. Like they say like Jules dies her hair blonde right before the start of the movie and she's a pre-med student, but we get to know her as she's being stupid and silly and did see and sexy.

and same thing with Chris Himworth's character. He's a sociologist, he's really smart. And in fact, the guy who's the scholar, Dana's sexy boy, well, Caroline's sexy boy toy. He's the one that in the trial and the cabin is being all sensitive and smart, but he's actually the athlete of the group. So it's like we're not supposed to know who they are because we're we're supposed to see them as like the sloppy stereotypical characters in a horror movie. So I think that's that's the point. So another point. So this is actually supposed to be a parody. Yes. It's not a parody, it's like a deconstruction. You know, it's like when you watch any cooking shun, they're like, this is a deconstructed PB&J, this is a deconstructed horror.

I think that's like a little bit of where may have fallen flat, it's like I felt like at some points, they felt like, or I felt like they were trying to so hard to make it funny, like, that moment where the guy calls them on the phone, the gas station guy. Yeah, and there's like speaker phone gas. Yeah, like that. Yeah, that was a lie, but it wasn't. Yeah, well, there's some cringy humor. I think some of that might just be that this was made in 2009. And then was supposed to be about in 2010. And then came out in 2012. I think there's some late odds of humor in there that isn't as subtle as we might expect humor to be now.

it was like Jurassic Park humor well that's the 90s I know but that's what it made me think of Jurassic Park humor Like, you know, in the first Jurassic Park, like the nerdy programmer guy, like... He's great. That's the kind of humor it was. I wouldn't have not saying that it was bad. I didn't know. I don't agree with this reference. Get that out of my house. But your house? I think that some of the humor is really good. Like, when she makes out with the moose... That is so funny to me. And she walks by and she goes, me? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I I'm just now coming up with this question. So this house was planted there by this company that does the sacrifice.

Yeah. What's up with the two way mirror then? Who doesn't? I mean, yeah. Just spooky. Maybe it has to do with one of the monsters. Maybe it's like a, maybe, you know, there was kind of like the pen had to ask monster that was torturing people. You know, I don't think Pen had to do this. There were other ones who were like doctors or something torturing, so maybe one of their traps is like, they would have to watch the other one being like ripped up. Interesting. Interesting. Second question that I formed live on air. Did one of the Bradley Whitford said when the couple was having sex in the woods, and he was like, we need a shot of the boobs, yeah.

That really confused me because I was like, okay, is this actually like a hunger game thing where they're like broadcasting it for people. or like he said something of like the people upstairs like to see it well yeah he had a couple of interesting comments like that because uh he was like it's for the client or whatever and of course they're being little vague because they don't want to give away the surprise at the end but i think he says i wrote down a few more quotes um uh there's one where he says the virgin's death is optional as long as it's last the main thing is that she suffers And so I think that for the actual plot of the movie, it's that they are putting on a shell.

Like they have to appease these old gods by like giving them a shell. And I mean, of course, we are then stepping in almost as those characters because we're watching the same thing that the old gods are watching. You know, we're being the same warriors. And so then on another metal level, it's like, you know, every horror movie we watch could be another ritual to appease these gods of whichever country, you know, that movie comes from. We've watched Japanese horror movies on here. We've watched Spanish ones, you know. You could think of it that way as well, and this movie is then framing that, which I love this, that, you know, we watch Friday the 13th and we're like, oh, that's so shitty.

The writing is so ridiculous and the acting so bad, but could we be watching people orchestrate all of that happening for us? You know? I had a thought in my throat. Do you think our world will ever get to a reality TV show where people actually die? Would you watch it? I'm just saying the Colosseum existed at one point in time. Well, what's the show where they release people into the wilderness? And they just have to... That's not the one I'm thinking of. But is that one where they just have to live in the wilderness for as long as they live? There's one that I'm thinking of that's maybe more of like, I'd have to ask my sister.

I thought it was more of like a discovery channel type thing. I don't know, but I mean, it's kind of, I mean, we watch people go through hard stuff. We don't watch them die, but I think I would be sad. I like watching fake death. I'm just saying this theme has been brought up so many, I mean, like, yes, you have, like, the call is that. But then, like, hunger games not too far off from that concept, so this is not too far off. You know, Caroline. I'm staying. That's an interesting thought, but I'm seeing, I'm seeing a hand in the classroom. Not, uh, number two of it. Yeah. Yeah. Either of you agree with this thought.

I'm going to have to hear it first. I would have loved if I could have changed the movie and I know Parker you love when we speculate about stuff like this, but I don't think I would have gone with the whole gods thing. I would have gone with like actual like paying customer's that like they choose their question or a clone. Yeah, Westworld. I do think that's interesting. I think that's been done in one of the purge movies, which obviously came after this. But I think what's hard about that is that the whole premise of this movie is that the world, the fate of the world rests on this happening. I like the idea of it being not just a corporate thing, but it's an ancient ritual.

I think it's nice. Again, yeah, I don't know how you feel about the old gods. I think so. I think it kind of added this whimsy of keeping the monsters or like the antagonists kept. Like you get into that supernatural world, like why not take it to like, we'll go on. Yeah, I think that's it's supposed to be ridiculous, like as ridiculous as possible. But I loved like the cataloging of all of the the demons and even though they're taking bets on who they're going to pick I think I thought like the office stuff was really funny and like when they're all celebrating you can see Dana being tortured in the background and there's like the guy that's like

So I know that you really love the bad way. So I got a stick and she just walks away. Like I thought that was really fun. He's like, I'm an intern. Yeah. Yeah. But the scene where they go down the elevator and they're in the boxes and they're seeing all of these, like demons and whatnot, I just kept thinking of monster's ink. with the doors yeah well i love that um you know the creators of this movie are big horror fans and i think that that's obviously very apparent that there's a lot of horror references in love in this movie and what i love there's a line that i love where the woman who's supposed to be kind of like the square who keeps bothering the two uh like

You know the the guy says this is like something from nightmares and then she says no There's a very nightmare Yeah, and I love that because it's like it's not just that horror movie You know are taking what we're afraid of and making them into monsters, which it does But it's also then how much horror movies are like feeding like the fear of america in the case. I do think they really got to flex their creativity with those monsters. There were just like so many of them. I was saying they're thinking like all of these different ideas could have been like 20 movies. Yeah, I have so many questions around like who pays the payroll for that team?

Where are they located? Well, maybe it's like the government knows that we have to do this and so Like the government paying off aliens from invading Exactly Something else that I think is interesting is that I saw somewhere quote from Joss Wheaton who again needs to get his act together because we don't like shit heads, but and we don't like mistreatment in the work place. That's running rampant in America. So Joss Wheaton get the fuck out of here. But I did see a quote from him where he was also saying this movie was a response to the torture porn craze of the mid-thousands, you know, saw 2004 on to, I don't know, probably 2010 is when that was wrapping up.

And so I do think that the idea of us being warriors and watch, like this movie is pointing out that not only are these people suffering, but we're watching them suffer and we're enjoying them suffer as part of the movie. And I think that is really fun to have to turn the old eye around on ourselves. Speaking of a warrior. would you or would you not have covered that mirror with well who's on the other side if i was watching if i were watching that guy greys now i would not have covered it um i would have watched yeah me too yeah if that sexy young Dana was on the other side would you have covered it

Unbuttoning that blouse too scaredly. Oh, that's such a double stay under You can do whatever you want. We're all about to die anyways in this cabin All right, so there are quite a few monsters in this movie. I wrote down the ones that I noticed that were heavily featured obviously there were a ton I saw where we'll have like a misty spirit, pinhead ballerina, giant snake zombies, mermaids, strangers, little girl clown unicorn, mermaids, tentacle monster, zombies, I already said zombies. Ballerina? Yeah, who would you pick if you had to be horror movie by one of these? Whatever that, what did that guy do that was like, had like the saws in his hand. Yeah, that was like see that.

We did. It was like the pinhead guy. We saw in one of the security cameras, he was holding his little supposed to be like the limit configuration. Which if you want to hear our hello razor episode, he can head back in time. That must have been like season one or something. And he's standing and there's another one of him and they have someone tied up hanging upside down. Oh, and if you think back to them, maybe that movie's all about torture and pain and pleasure. He was an interesting dude. Yeah, yeah, maybe not him, but he looked like he was going to be kind. I, he wasn't. I hate to break it to you. Who would you pick?

You got to pick a way to go. What do you think that ballerino with the most normal mouse does? Yeah, no, I wonder if she like latches onto your face or maybe she does a nice dance with you. I don't know, yeah. I don't know. I would choose that, that sounds nice. I think I would pick, okay. I'm about to say something that my blow your mind, because if you listen, you know one of my biggest fears is snakes, but that giant snake was like a quick death. Yeah, one, I thought about that too. One, I also hate snakes. I hate snakes. I saw that and I was like, is that too far? like the clown stabs people a bunch of times uh so did the unicorn which honestly unicorn death might be worth it I think that's pretty cool that's pretty cool all right well any last thoughts before we wrap up I have a note that says corny weaver baby I think

this movie had a lot that you're gonna be terrified parker a lot of potential like i love the intersection and now that it's like supposed to be a parody i didn't i didn't really think it was like supposed to be a parody. So, and now that I know that it's supposed to be a parody, because I didn't really pick that up. I thought it was just trying to be kind of funny, but also a movie. It makes sense. With that being said, I would love to watch a movie with similar thematic elements of bringing the horror movie, but then like the And they'll like basically the second dimension, third dimensionality of it together because I would be there for it.

But I would agree. I don't think it gets better than this. I think that was I think it's good. I think it's like they did it and they did it well. I think like a hardcore serious version of like scary movies being facilitated. Yeah, I mean, I think I would love a sequel where they just do exactly this again with just other people. I would love that. And yeah, I could have done without some of the jokes. I think they could take it to the next level. Like, I know they had to kind of establish like the tropes of all of these different archetypes and like have that cabin in the woods, but I think this movie with a different horror staple concept could be really cool.

Well, yeah, and since it's, I mean, they could go to other countries, like they like they could do a ring type thing in Japan, they could do, they could say in American, do like a conjuring haunted house, ready to eat it. They could do a mid-Summer cult facilitated, oh, they could do it. Yeah, they could be like a rich street. Yeah, yeah, I think there's a lot of fun things and unfortunately, it seems like this movie was kind of hard to get released So I doubt we would ever get another one, but I would love I would love to Would you yeah, yeah, so All right, let's see hundred episodes so think carefully about this What would you say from the cabin and the woods?

Is your most memorable murder? I had one, and then I'm changing it right now to intelligent guy driving and the thing just goes right through his face. Hmm, and the RV and the sink and just nice. Well, and shocking, I think that's like the scariest jump of the movie. Yeah, the second one was the Merman. Oh, Merman's what I'm doing. That was so good. I love how cheesy it is. I love like the dramatic music. Oh, come on. Yeah, and the spraying out its little blow hole and just the Merman. Yeah. Yeah. Let's get a mermaid movie. Let's get cabin in the woods to Mermaid. Hmm. Like Prana 3D meets cabin in the woods. Mermaid 3D.

Hmm. One thing that I didn't mention before, I kind of loved that the first half of this movie you're on edge of like, oh, like before the zombies come out of like, oh, what's it going to be? Because you know that something's coming. And like they jump in the lake and you're like, this is definitely something's going to happen on the lake and you're just kind of always wanted. And I've said before that I love humor and horror movies, but it has to be really like, and it has to be really like tied into the horror. And so when Chris Hemsworth makes the joke and he's like, What's that? What's in the water? Yeah, like that's a stupid joke.

And he which I love the commitment. He pushes her in full belly flop. Love that but I love that that's funny And it's exactly the same thing where like you think for senior like oh my god. What's in there? Yeah So they really play, they play, yeah. Yes. You've got me so good. Most memorable murder. I think I have to go with Chris Hemsworth. But I was not expecting after that motorcycle jump for that perhaps that's another thing they make you for that's like the bird at the beginning stand out moment they make you forget and then it's a surprise again well I didn't think that it would be right there and there's such a build up and they're trying to escape and you're like on this emotional journey and then it's like kind of funny

Yeah, I don't know what you guys are criticizing my master work is never okay on a scary skill 1 to 5 where you rank in the cabin in the woods Hard one yeah scaringness It's not like scary Although what would you translate that to number he's like in shock that you gave it a low number. I'm just saying it's not scary. I'm going, well, there are a couple of good jumps, but it's gory, too. I think you couldn't, I don't think gory does not translate this gory translates to scary, it's not true. Yes, there are people who cannot handle the gory. I think that one because of the references too because it's scary enough. You can't I don't think this is the entry horror movie for someone.

Like this is a movie you got to build up too for multiple reasons. I would give it a two and a half like in the middle. I'm going to give it a two and but I agree if I'm introducing someone to horror I can't show them this because then everything will be backwards once they actually watch the movies that this is referencing. Or maybe that'd be really fun, maybe that'd be a good experiment. I just don't know, I wanted to bait that point real quick, because I perceive scary, much differently than Gore. Scaringness is like, will I be affected at night? Agreed. Will I think about it, Gore? I can see the glorious movie ever, like a zombie movie, right?

And they just eat the crap out of it. And I'm not going to give a crap about that at night. Well, I would like to say the fear of subjective, and I think about Gore a lot. I watched movie recently where somebody's fingers got pulled off of their body, and I thought about it a lot. That's a lot. That kind of Gore versus like humor Gore is different. I don't know. Well, let's move on. Just know that there's tension at the table. At the cabin in the woods at the recording cabin. Would you give the cabin in the woods a smash or slash? I'd give it a smash I would it it's close to me, but I would also give it a smash There's no way to please him.

It's a smash. It's so I said smash such a smash. I know it's I know you did, but you said it was close Parker, he can't be pleased. Parker can't be pleased. Parker can't be pleased. If you're not with him, you're against him. It's true. It's true. On that note, what's your favorite scary movie? I can't believe it. Still black swan. I am that movie rules. Yeah, it's good. It's good. Carol. Mine is still wrong turn 21. Wow. I lived wrong turn 21 today. Did a little hike on the Appalachian Trail. Oh my god. The whole time I was waiting for a giant log to roll down and switch me. Was it? That scene where they were in their overalls and smiling.

Oh, and they're like, chicken photos. And they're all hiking with their flannel's on. That's what it was. That all being commercial. The death will come later when that truck that just drove by murders us, the truck, not the people. For all of you listeners, we spent the entire dinner last night planning how we would combat any intruders if they came to murder us here. We are in a scary cabin in the middle of nowhere. No where to go, if we have to run on foot, we're going to be running for a long time. I like the challenge of it. My favorite Sky movies, The Cabin in the Woods. Wow. Yeah. It's deep throned.
