next two weeks. Here on the

0:58

podcast and we're kicking it off.

1:01

With. Twenty third teams warm

1:03

bodies. Would have fun sub genre Honestly

1:05

like I was looking into it to

1:07

do a potential article for the website

1:09

and ah. Urges Ah, me. romance. There's a

1:11

lot. Oh I know that we got lease

1:14

of Reagan's damn cat. Well I guess my time as

1:16

episode comes at a will already be in theater but.

1:18

Technically my boyfriends back there. Life after

1:20

Beth? Ah, there's there's a lot of

1:23

oh, my significant other or my love

1:25

interest who I'm not dating yet has

1:27

died and up. See do they are

1:30

reanimated. They're falling apart and smelly. but

1:32

I think I might be having a

1:34

crush on a. Deeper Bride of Frankenstein

1:36

in a category. Now. Yeah,

1:38

neither do I. So and I mention

1:40

that Lisa Frankenstein is our like I

1:42

don't they. I never think of Frankenstein

1:44

as a zombie movie the same way

1:46

that I never think of the story

1:49

of Jesus Christ as as Humphreys decor.

1:51

Also. A Bride of Frankenstein. As much

1:53

as like we said, we kind of

1:55

like celebrate the two of them as

1:57

an institution of Monster Horror Year Bride.

2:00

Really into a similar? that? He right?

2:02

Really, Really? Bride. Of Frankenstein is Not

2:04

a love. Supreme nod, nod or wrong

2:06

the summer All not a rom at

2:08

all. Side note though Pm Zuma of

2:11

After Best it's great of a nuisance.

2:13

Aguilar. Yeah, I'm doubling and to that

2:15

list. Ah so if you are in the

2:17

future listening to this, it's on the website.

2:20

To. Warm bodies had you. Know.

2:23

Like thought that I hang. Up

2:26

or maybe city minutes a movie of

2:28

the on. I just watched the trailer

2:30

that years like they got it. We

2:32

were hit over the head with the

2:34

trailer when it came out. I think

2:36

we were just outside of the demographic as well.

2:38

This is very keen Romance Here in is based

2:41

on a novel which is cool which is great.

2:44

And. If you weren't obsessed with The Walking

2:46

Dead when The Walking Dead was in

2:48

it's heyday which we weren't than this

2:50

was really not exactly. You're like, I

2:52

need less zombies right now. I need

2:54

I need less of this. And Title

2:56

Ix. Yeah, because I think we

2:58

went down the i'm like Zombie survival guide

3:01

route. We read World War Z and then

3:03

we. We watched it and then it was

3:05

com or not the greatest. So that was

3:07

kinda like the end of a branch of

3:09

zombie isms for us for a while and

3:11

this is kind of flip through the cracks.

3:13

I think we were just a little too

3:15

old for. It when it came out in

3:18

the morning. thirteen which mistakes. I think this

3:20

was a really good movies. It's sweet and

3:22

maybe on the other hand though maybe if

3:25

we have seen him back and twenty thirty

3:27

we wouldn't liked it which is like know

3:29

I know this is bullshit. you know we

3:31

just disease to sweep. I get over. This

3:34

love story, right? Is it is

3:36

way more romance and it is

3:38

horror? Yes, Despite the fact that

3:40

you're following, the protagonist of this

3:42

movie is a rotting corpse, It

3:44

wonderful. What? A sweet little detour

3:46

from the stuff that we normally watch and

3:48

cover on the podcast. Like I don't think

3:50

we've ever covered something so. ah. Sweet.

3:53

Tooth The. Business. Or no, probably not.

3:55

and me maybe something with the super water room and

3:57

the closest you know, the next week's episode Return of

3:59

Living Dead. Three, Not going very. The leader

4:01

now on is gonna be a funky little

4:03

exercise too because it's kind of a bit

4:05

of both of those things, like kind of

4:07

a bit of a movie we don't normally

4:09

cover, but also. Straight.

4:11

Directive: Video Harm

4:13

me. Iowa. Or

4:17

so ripe. I feel like we've got probably

4:19

already mentioned a couple of them already. But

4:21

what are our three good things about warm

4:23

bodies? Maybe for anybody out there like us

4:25

who was just like attorney, then he was

4:27

dumb young adult romance in my life. Yes,

4:29

the number one I'm gonna go with

4:31

zombie Peel the It's something that you

4:33

don't normally get a zombie with an

4:35

interior monologue like the exterior of the

4:37

zombie is everything you expect a zombie

4:39

to be, you know, shuffling? granted, shrugging?

4:42

yes. But inside he so articulate, nice

4:44

that so many emotions and feelings he

4:46

just can't convey them. He's like a

4:48

regular teenage boys. El

4:50

nio. To see Nicholas Hoult in

4:52

this role Now because even watching

4:55

Ren Field. You. Knew how

4:57

similar it was his Warm

4:59

Bodies character yes what? ah

5:02

type of oddly specific podcast

5:04

are lots of first person

5:07

narration of an undead person.

5:09

Saying that of an unlikely

5:11

for zag an embargo say

5:13

like romance but like. Redfield

5:15

as more of a destructive abusive relationship

5:18

with an romance it off I love

5:20

He learned to love him salad. He

5:22

really excels in this as months or

5:24

narrator up. some know plenty of movies

5:27

where he narrating as a give even

5:29

narrates in their kill All Your Friends

5:31

which is a movie about like the

5:34

music industry in the late nineties. Anyway,

5:36

good thing number Two. Zombie. Rob

5:38

Corddry. And I'll leave it

5:40

at that. The Asus Rog got Rob

5:42

Corddry comedic genius. like not that the

5:45

guy none the not exactly a stand

5:47

up comedian. maybe not even necessarily a

5:49

household name. But if you seen Hell

5:51

baby like the sort of like as

5:53

I can love hell they will babies

5:55

the best. He's the father in Hell

5:58

babies is. he is at some. The

6:00

Icc. Force every time. he ended

6:02

up in Hock. Until late away late

6:04

in the movie because he's a

6:07

wonderful comedic elements. Say I were him

6:09

when he gets only says may be one

6:11

word and a time You've probably got five

6:13

words of dialogue in the first eighty minutes

6:15

of this movie and every single one of

6:18

whom the bag her her even like facial

6:20

reactions are hole where I just. Love that

6:22

they're best friends and they know that their best

6:24

friend the I have no justification for it. They

6:26

just see each other and sit next. To. Eat

6:28

Something. I'm a bombard And here

6:30

and to Good thing number three.

6:33

I think this movie has of

6:35

fun twist on the zombie mythos.

6:37

I guess he they make eating

6:39

brains super interesting. In this movie

6:41

it's almost like doing heroin plugin.

6:43

Get of the Return of the

6:45

Living Dead they like a week

6:47

or how. We didn't bring that up

6:49

again is very akin to that in that

6:51

returning the living dead you know they establish

6:53

their brains are the primary cuts of meat.

6:56

And zombie. The Us. But they do

6:58

it because they want to feel alive. Was

7:00

the only thing that stops them from

7:02

feeling dead for a minute and they

7:05

expound on that a bit here because

7:07

when you eat a person's brains your

7:09

seeing their memories that you're living your

7:12

life you forget for is that a

7:14

split second that your dad at you

7:16

which which is used for absorb the

7:19

zombie main character are to learn about

7:21

his love interest because he eats or

7:23

boy I love that Not in dark

7:26

for what a great little twist in

7:28

Generals is like every zombie. Kill

7:30

the person and ease their brains and

7:32

real lives. All of their memories like

7:34

they get to experience life again for

7:36

just like flashes of a second. Genius!

7:39

Touch. Love that he does. Yes, So

7:41

unique to this movie and I'm

7:43

surprised it hasn't been done before

7:45

now because it adds another layer.

7:48

I guess we're we never, never.

7:50

In the zombies. You were never

7:52

in the zombie perspective of riot.

7:54

They're just walking, shuffling antagonists, But.

7:57

It's good. This was as surprising

7:59

watch and also I think a

8:01

great addition to the Roms. Arm

8:03

cannons Zip average. Kim has told

8:05

me there are quite a for.

8:08

To I doing of my life I

8:10

just want to connect. I cannot connect.

8:14

All. Right? Because I'm dead. Introduce

8:18

myself, my name, And

8:21

on that I have left. The

8:24

bomber. I should be so

8:26

hard on myself. I mean, we're all dead. This

8:29

my best friend. We've have almost

8:31

conversation sometimes. Collies.

8:41

I will to that. Was

8:44

done conflicted about his. Dad.

9:34

And. He steals and he's learning to

9:37

be seen any. News

9:49

on how can you

9:51

help you. Somebody

10:32

who's currently sitting at a six point

10:34

eight added ten on I'm The Be

10:36

In eighty one percent on Rotten Tomatoes

10:38

because it's probably one of three horror

10:40

movies the critics watched and twenty their

10:42

teams and a two point nine out

10:44

of five on ladder boxed. Him

10:47

an iphone realization the Millers movie. Oh

10:49

we both dead zone even

10:51

lie. I don't sudden know. I think this

10:54

was mostly you think? I'm gonna give you full

10:56

credit on this one at a genius move on

10:58

your part. Okay so we made

11:00

it all the way to the

11:03

balcony sequence. is he out of

11:05

the sequence when I realized oh

11:07

really Romeo and Juliet seen occasionally

11:09

the going on so hard in

11:11

duets and then I realized that

11:13

are lead characters were name's Julie

11:15

and. Are you would see what's your guess on what

11:17

his real name As of the end of the movie he

11:20

decides he doesn't want because he can't remember his name. All

11:22

he knows that it started with an R. They.

11:24

Throw around some random name's the trying to

11:26

figure out what. She did all the our names

11:29

any didn't say yes to any. Of the sudden

11:31

as she went with like the standard was

11:33

enough for are now he didn't even say

11:35

ryan. Aren't name is Ryan. his name had

11:37

to be Rome. Not. Presently

11:39

ever ever, Really gonna go off. The

11:41

romeo and Juliet of it all. had

11:44

to be Romans. and yeah, we got

11:46

to the fucking balcony. Read with the

11:48

oh shit from instead of the Montagu's

11:50

in the Capulets, it's the corpses and

11:52

the living. Yeah, Like I I like, I

11:54

is kind of assume that we were in a

11:56

with naturally a romeo and juliet thing but I

11:59

didn't know a specific. a Romeo and

12:01

Juliet thing. I think it's just because

12:04

so many romance movies are like, oh, they're

12:06

not allowed to love each other. We're from

12:08

another world. That's exactly it. That's just every

12:10

romance. And who's to say if that's directly

12:12

from Romeo and Juliet or if that's just

12:14

the one that we always call it? Well, and

12:16

also, stories need conflict. And so even

12:18

in a love story, you have to

12:21

have something pulling the two characters apart.

12:23

And why not make it their shitty

12:25

family? But the best part about it is

12:27

that as soon as you said that, we

12:30

just started picking this movie apart. Even his

12:32

best bud, Rob Cordred. That blew my

12:34

mind. His name in the movie

12:37

is Marcus. So he's not exactly

12:39

a Mercutio-type character, but like 100% that's

12:41

what they're pulling from. He doesn't die.

12:43

He's already dead. He kind of saves

12:46

the day, to be perfectly honest. My

12:49

only question for you, what

12:51

does that make the bony's?

12:54

Because there is a sort of hierarchy

12:56

of zombies in the movie. It's

12:59

just a hierarchy of living. We've got humans, we've got

13:01

zombies, and we've got these skeletons. Don't they just call

13:03

them corpses? I don't know if they say

13:05

zombies. No, the humans say corpses.

13:08

That's all. Like nobody necessarily uses

13:10

the word zombie. It seems like

13:12

Nicholas Holt is maybe the only person

13:14

that kind of does. But the

13:16

bony's, as the zombies refer to them.

13:18

They're fun. Yeah. They're kind of like zombies that

13:21

have given up on life and have just sort

13:24

of devolved into something more animalist. And they're

13:26

like giant charcoal skeletons. Yeah, they look

13:28

like they're burned more than me. And

13:31

somehow they get taller. They're much bigger than

13:33

humans. They're made of

13:35

humans, but it's like they lengthen a

13:37

bit. They're scarier when they're taller,

13:39

yeah. Where do you

13:42

think they fall in all this? If they had to be

13:44

anybody from the Romeo and Juliet story, who do you think

13:46

they are? The Sands of

13:48

Time. The Sands of Time! I

13:50

don't know. They're

13:52

just a gang of Tybalt strutting around. The

13:54

poison? I

13:56

Don't know who, Yeah, exactly. Like Who else, Who else,

13:58

Who fucking help me? Get me. Third

14:01

antagonists is that are the stars Ah and

14:03

arts and are in instead of Fair Verona

14:05

it takes place in the Montreal air pull.

14:07

Her sister is that what it was daughter

14:10

of it was in the movie but that's

14:12

where they shot at him and like shot

14:14

in and around Montreal. we were really pagan

14:16

and from Hamilton were like Gabi Hamilton's. Yeah

14:19

just the has an overpass goes nearly

14:21

industrial area was like this. Isn't really

14:23

in the Hamilton areas so maybe some of

14:25

it's buds. Yeah, did the crazy thing of

14:27

at the beginning of this movie is that

14:29

you we've got a whole bunch of fun

14:31

voice over from Nicholas Hoult, as are the.

14:34

Zombie. He started explaining like

14:36

no more ago. really bad posture,

14:38

oh so great when I was

14:40

and Dad Hammers is watching them

14:42

shuffle around, bump into other people's

14:44

Sort of like talking about how

14:46

the zombie thing works. And

14:48

he's got an apartment. He does have an apartment

14:50

at. The weirdest thing about this whole movie? To

14:52

me, Yet you live in an old

14:54

airplane. Philo. That all. Airplane. He

14:57

collects vinyl and he's.

14:59

He's he's got all east. He's

15:01

got Corona beers. I'm feeling sailed

15:03

and ready for somebody. Must have

15:05

already been there like these isn't

15:07

must not. Nobody must have looted

15:09

that play and I'm not believing

15:12

that he's not. The mini boss

15:14

is it's a world where

15:16

the zombies aren't. Fully.

15:18

Ravenous monsters that have

15:20

no. Inner. Dialogue will.

15:23

They are initially because at

15:25

the very beginning Nicholas Hoult

15:27

character are is like the

15:29

seed of Awakening. who's. Living

15:32

has. I don't think the other zombie

15:34

characters have a hangout. I don't think

15:36

they've been collecting thing. I think so.

15:38

Either you or you're right, but you don't think

15:41

they haven't like I'm going to have an inner

15:43

monologue. Know it might be like.

15:47

This is his other in my thoughts are the same

15:49

and that is the same of the saying outlet outside.

15:51

Yeah, and maybe they're trying to

15:53

form words in there because you

15:55

really see it when are kind

15:57

of awakens Marcus by proxy. My.

16:00

Kind of showing him his relationship in

16:02

his situation. That's when he starts to

16:04

form words. So. I don't know,

16:06

I think. Our. Is really the

16:08

start of it and go for whatever

16:10

reason he's. A. little more

16:12

human. He's. Retain some of his

16:14

humanity in a way that some of the other

16:17

zombies haven't. And. He

16:19

falls in love at first sight

16:21

of Julia assumed Julie. Ends.

16:24

Rather, Than having her eaten by a

16:26

group of zombies that he's a part of.

16:29

He sort of disguises her with his zombie

16:31

guts so she doesn't smell like a human.

16:33

Yeah, he definitely stuck his fingers in like

16:35

a hole in his semi gray. Yeah, we'll

16:37

we learn when he gets injured later that

16:39

like the brown says that he's been smearing

16:42

on her is coming from inside. and it's

16:44

not like the totally and you didn't think

16:46

that a media like he thought maybe it

16:48

was theses. Matter

16:50

how is that bad? Are thicker I

16:52

was. Why would you out of out of media

16:54

make I know. It is the how

16:56

he conveniently as well go on his

16:59

hands Several days are using is a

17:01

new words hovered and diseases. ah no

17:03

I just I don't know your. It's

17:07

a disgusting world and I don't

17:09

like to think about it at

17:11

all. It's a classic apocalypse, apocalyptic

17:13

scenario. We've got a group of

17:15

survivors of living by a wall.

17:17

They're they're locked off their protected

17:19

from these zombies. Julie's of course

17:22

the daughter of a renegade army

17:24

guy who's running the whole operation.

17:26

The governor of the Wall Town

17:28

is played by John Fucking Mouth.

17:30

submissive while is great and so

17:32

they're on some surges like Xv.

17:34

Okay, So I have is I have been

17:36

in here because there's this app that I know

17:39

I brought this up. I mean on the podcast

17:41

a couple times that there's as app called Runs

17:43

On Me Run. Oh yes. And it's

17:45

this work out app where you can

17:47

play music like your own music your

17:50

own thought of my playlist but it

17:52

interrupts with this audio stories that you

17:54

play along to. And it's this story.

17:56

It's this movie. you're a runner who

17:58

Leave Is it? The reason we

18:01

will be a runner. And you

18:03

leave this walled off area like

18:05

safety to go collect supply. Yeah,

18:07

yeah, to get antibiotics in medicine and.

18:10

Was like the game I play the are

18:12

you with a group? Are you by yourself?

18:15

Year with a group? Okay so you won't

18:17

die. ah I don't I have

18:19

not great at the games. Around where

18:21

did the whole arrived in your office

18:23

of the family Guy said no. And

18:25

you have like an earpiece in that's

18:27

with the game is yeah and it's

18:29

people at the tower who are spotting

18:31

you and tell you like where the

18:34

zombies are when the zombies are coming

18:36

Paris. The replay by Dave Franco and

22:01

they make they do make a point.

22:04

Of having our Nicholas Hoult

22:06

see he calling are seeing

22:08

Julie before he eats her

22:10

boyfriends brains like he is

22:12

smitten by her immediately. It's

22:14

not just that he's. Gaining

22:16

the experience of her boyfriend and

22:19

having like this false. Ah,

22:21

I see class crushed crushed. Is

22:25

that to it's helping inform. The.

22:28

He's understanding who she is and learn

22:30

more about her through her memories and

22:32

like What's great about that is that

22:34

he kind of experiences their relationship aren't

22:36

limited. It's a movie like I'm sure.

22:39

it's just flashes of images you know,

22:41

a you would probably expect at ya

22:43

have all of their memories downloaded in

22:45

my quick little snapshot makes much more

22:47

cinematic. Yeah, in the movie it's linear

22:50

so like he's he keeps some of

22:52

his brains it is. I love that.

22:54

Like fuckin' tater tots. The Well Brigham.

22:56

Wow. He's calling her, he's gotten gooey

22:58

brains in his pocket yeah, her boyfriend or

23:00

in and says he doesn't. Sleep at

23:03

all. The zombies don't dream. They don't

23:05

sleep. They don't rest. There always is

23:07

shuffling around looking for food. That's my

23:09

nightmare. The. Cell and

23:11

says their heads up a sudden I get

23:14

bitten at one am not going to want

23:16

see will that hides it because to don't

23:18

be that yeah ah to zoom in the

23:20

fucking head Police. Somebody will be one of

23:22

those people who shoots themselves in the had no,

23:25

you're like my way to make a i'm a

23:27

cow as often, but not so much of a

23:29

coward that I won't tell you that isn't good.

23:31

Gray, I. Yes, Place you me in

23:33

the fucking had a shuffling eternally. Does

23:35

not sound fun. Not sounds awful, but like

23:37

all Julie sleeps, he eats her boyfriends brains.

23:40

He is even a gray live with like

23:42

you know, Eating

23:45

and girls boyfriends brains to learn

23:47

more about her as maybe not

23:49

exactly like what I would call

23:51

the healthiest decision but but. This.

23:53

Is the life I lived a silver they

23:56

are you do about it still like he

23:58

he experiences like they're meet cute. He

24:00

sort of like sees the beginnings of the apocalypse as

24:02

well. the one. That I really like

24:04

here is that they really don't

24:07

expand on. The. Beginning We're

24:09

not seeing through Perry's eyes

24:11

or through Julie's eyes. How

24:13

this all began. Last they

24:15

talk about. It. Together like

24:17

auto, he miss airplanes and you're like

24:20

oh shit, we're already deep into the

24:22

apocalypse now. I love that. Zombie

24:24

movies can get bogged down by that. I mean even

24:26

the beginning. There is a guy rumor how it happened

24:29

yellow. Yes, I can. The apocalypse. Started

24:31

doing it at our minds and movies.

24:33

Or maybe the river Atlanta years of

24:35

the murder of a virus? Who knows

24:37

more. So they don't have a curious yet

24:39

because it seems that was eradicated way quickly.

24:41

Fun! People were people have basically given

24:43

up on the idea of a cure

24:45

like know in the snow. Worth trying

24:47

one if you don't have a cure

24:50

than your own of the source so

24:52

they probably have no idea how it

24:54

began. Yeah exactly. Ams is my favorite

24:56

part about that is that he he

24:58

continues eat this guy's brains up and

25:00

to the point where he literally sees

25:02

himself articles hold, sees himself through Perry's

25:04

eyes and attacking and killing hair. I

25:06

honestly think there's something cut out here because

25:08

I'm just I just how they shot it

25:10

and how they framed it. He. Doesn't

25:12

eat human anymore after this, does he? He.

25:15

Only ever eat Perry's brains.

25:17

But. Does. He continued eat berries brains after.

25:19

this moment is a. Jazz. Oh, that's how

25:22

he keeps experiencing more and more of the

25:24

memory. But I thought that was the last memory.

25:26

Hims like catching up to himself. There

25:28

are two instances of him eating brains after,

25:30

like after he started hanging out with Julie,

25:32

but it doesn't seem like they have to

25:34

eat a whole lot and channels. Yeah,

25:36

or maybe he's abstaining because he wants

25:38

to be a better spot to be.

25:41

A better zombies will. Even. Marcus isn't

25:43

really eating a whole lot, they kind

25:45

of shuffle around a whole bunch like

25:47

I think their metabolism is much slower.

25:49

Their dads like been a really need

25:51

food to Liz. It's. I

25:54

guess in a guessing it to live believe it

25:56

or needs food the way you and it's been

25:58

Aura Hubbard nine. A compulsion like. If there's

26:00

a human in the area though, go

26:03

after them. But otherwise, yes, just meandering.

26:05

Know you're not growing any more. Than willing

26:07

need the food. Is not really cackled in

26:09

this movie because I don't think it's a

26:11

surprise that are gets more and more human

26:13

like the the longer the movie goes on.

26:15

Yeah. We'd. Never see

26:17

him eating human food. Know

26:19

as more he was I'm very angry. And then

26:21

there's a second scene. Where did he get Julie

26:23

like a fruit cup and she's like oh my

26:26

God is incredible. Kim's is like eat. A cherry.

26:28

If it didn't go far we guy you'd say

26:30

I did One I wanted a cell for I

26:32

wanted to do it's too early like to eat

26:34

it before he with human enough. And I'm

26:36

on it. Blood everywhere. I wanted him to

26:38

projectile vomit on July. The Habit Events: Yep,

26:40

that's true. Romance: And

26:43

we, yeah, I get his until the end

26:45

of the movie where he becomes full human

26:47

like. Up until then he's He's always mostly

26:49

zombie I guess. But. Yeah, the

26:51

longer he the longer he stays and

26:53

hangs out with Julian. like the more

26:55

he experiences love the more he remembers

26:57

what it was to be human. He

26:59

is be. Coming and sort

27:01

of curing himself. and like that

27:04

love even just like them holding

27:06

hands of enough for Marcus to

27:08

remember. Logs. In general.

27:10

That moments really great to because it almost they

27:13

get awakens all of the zombies in the area

27:15

and they're like a level of respect. And

27:17

there will there also the Marcus having

27:19

seen Julian are together as he starts

27:21

looking at advertising in the airports and

27:23

he says like considering it in a

27:26

way that the other for zombies like

27:28

what the fuck is this guy do

27:30

and and then they all start to

27:32

like see it as well, like they've

27:34

remember humanity and like love is the

27:37

unlock code for all of I love.

27:39

That love is the cure for a zombie.

27:41

As them when I when an abstract. Concepts

27:43

such as the others the I promise it

27:45

does have like the one dumb moment of

27:48

the movie which was in the trailer and

27:50

I truly thought was going to be. Such.

27:53

An annoying repetitive thing in the movie

27:55

where you see their hearts like beat

27:58

inside their chest and go round. So

28:00

it's very it happens once it's very Grinch

28:02

like and then they're not grew three sides.

28:04

Yeah, that's exactly what it was But it's

28:07

there because the bony's turn on the

28:09

zombies and they do it because they

28:12

can hear a heartbeat Yeah, exactly.

28:14

They're they're coming back to life.

28:16

Uh-huh. So they're almost a food source. Exactly Which

28:19

is what leads to the human corpse

28:22

team up Yeah,

28:29

no, it's it's a cute

28:31

movie and we even get a

28:33

makeover makeover We get a full makeover sequence.

28:36

I love it so much You know

28:38

what? I also just love is that

28:40

the supporting characters in this movie are

28:42

actually friends Nobody double-crosses anybody everybody super

28:44

supportive. Yeah, Julie has a best friend

28:47

and she's her best friend like through

28:49

and through She

28:51

holds her father at gunpoint for her Ar

28:54

has a best friend who's a zombie

28:57

who could eat his girlfriend, but instead

28:59

gets the golf cart and saves the

29:01

day Yeah, exactly and they all team

29:03

up my the best fucking part I

29:06

was like one of the funniest little

29:08

bits to of this whole movie is

29:10

when our comes back with Julie and

29:13

you know like they're Humans they've

29:15

tried to talk to the humans the humans

29:17

do not give a fuck. They're like you're

29:19

a zombie I'm not listening to this I'm

29:21

gonna blow your goddamn brains out and they're

29:23

starting to get worried because there are there's

29:25

there's recon that more and more corpses are

29:27

forming this large group outside of the tower

29:29

and The bony's are right

29:31

behind their skeletons. They're not calling them bony's the

29:33

skeletons are like right behind them and they're worried There's

29:36

some sort of like war that's

29:38

about to be waged and there's no way

29:40

they could win. They're completely outnumbered And

29:43

when R and Julie get back to to Marcus

29:45

and all the rest of the zombies you're like,

29:47

okay guys I don't think

29:49

the humans are gonna help us. You know, we basically

29:52

got a human army to the left of us

29:54

We got skeletons to the right of us. Y'all

29:56

ready to fight and the zombies are like The

30:00

Marcus translates more than goes, they said

30:02

fuck yeah. Like, goddamn,

30:04

one of the best parts. And

30:07

then yeah, they all just like, gang warfare.

30:09

This is West Side Story with zombies, right?

30:11

Like it's the same idea. West Side Story

30:13

is just Romeo and Juliet also. You know,

30:15

like we've got warring factions, we've got a

30:17

romance that can't be done, and we're all

30:19

gonna fight in the end. And there's a

30:21

lot of really good needle drops in this.

30:25

Oh, there's a lot of needle drops. All agree

30:27

to that. You don't like them all? I

30:29

like them all. The best needle drop

30:31

gets yanked away from you. But it's

30:34

funny. But it's funny. I don't love

30:36

all the needles. Some of the needle drops are

30:38

just a little too... Okay,

30:40

I'll say it. I don't like Guns N' Roses,

30:42

okay? I don't

30:44

like Guns N' Roses, and I can't

30:47

remember who the other one was. It was like a Bob Seger needle

30:49

drop, and I was like, I don't care for this much at all.

30:51

But the zombie slow walking towards the

30:54

climax of the movie with like music

30:56

blaring? Yeah, like Hurricane is playing by the

30:58

scorpion. I love it. There's also the pretty

31:00

woman needle drop for the makeover makeover. Oh,

31:03

I love it. Which

31:05

even Julie was like, are you serious right now? Are

31:07

you gonna play this? And her best friend's like, what?

31:09

It's hilarious. And

31:11

then of course we have to go to... I don't remember who

31:14

it is. Trendy 2013 music. Yeah,

31:16

it's something from the Drive soundtrack. I

31:18

can't remember who. R

31:20

has essentially become human by the end of the movie.

31:23

And the only way that we can

31:26

convince Dad that he's human is

31:28

that he bleeds blood. Like Dad has to shoot

31:30

him in the chest and then see that he's

31:33

bleeding and dying to be like, oh

31:35

my God. It's weird that this didn't end

31:37

in tragedy. I was expecting the entire

31:39

time after he got shot for him

31:41

to die. And it'd be like

31:43

the moment he's finally human

31:45

and he's finally convinced. And that's how

31:47

you know he's human is that he died.

31:50

Yeah. And that's how they break

31:52

the wall down. And then it's all

31:54

tragic and sad. Like Romeo and

31:56

Juliet is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But

31:58

no. But no. Sweet little

32:00

happy ending. Would you have liked it more if it had a

32:02

tragic ending? Yes. Really? Yeah. Oh, I don't

32:04

know. And if he ate fruit cocktail and

32:06

barbed in her face! But it's

32:08

this whole movie, it's exactly the same, except it's

32:11

a tragic ending? I don't think that fits. Yeah,

32:14

it's- Tragedy's forecast the tragedy. That's why Romeo

32:16

and Juliet's so good. Like, you know it's

32:18

ill fate. Yeah, but doesn't it start with

32:20

these wonderful delights have tragic ends or

32:22

something that's a first line? Oh, these

32:24

violent delights have violent ends. Bam!

32:27

That's a banger! It is a banger!

32:29

That lays the groundwork! No, I'm- I'm

32:31

agreeing with you! Okay, I find it.

32:33

I'm giving you evidence! No,

32:38

yeah, I would not have wanted this to end in a

32:40

tragedy, unless it started as a tragedy. Like, if it was

32:42

the same- Oh, golly, wiz! I'm

32:45

gonna- I'm gonna watch- Oh, I can't dream!

32:47

Like, I don't know why we turned into

32:49

Mickey Mouse, right? But yeah,

32:51

like, if it was the exact same movie, but it

32:53

ended with John Malkovich killing her boyfriend, that would have

32:55

been a fucking bummer. Okay, so

32:58

I'm sure it's- this is

33:00

the truth. This is a true statement I'm saying.

33:02

Okay. I haven't conferred with you before now, but

33:04

I- I- I'm just gonna start saying every while,

33:06

last thing I have to say with- I'm sure this is

33:08

true! No, I'm making

33:10

a statement on behalf of us. Oh,

33:12

good. We definitely like Renfield more than

33:14

we like warm bodies, right? Absolutely. Yeah,

33:17

so see, it's a true statement. Okay.

33:19

What is it about Renfield you think

33:21

that we like more than warm bodies?

33:23

Because they're very similar, like in terms

33:25

of like Nicholas Holt, being a monster,

33:27

internal dialogue, narrator. Where

33:30

is it more successful, do you think? Is

33:32

it just the story is stronger? Uh,

33:34

well- I've given this a lot of thought. And

33:38

I've got- Because you've said that you liked

33:40

Renfield more than you liked warm bodies, I

33:42

just really want you to back up. Why? I

33:45

go like just like in the eight seconds that it's

33:47

been since you brought up this theory, I have pondered,

33:50

I have scoured the earth and the desert

33:52

of my mind and I've come up with

33:54

three simple words. Nicholas fucking K.

33:56

Yeah, you- What are you talking about? Yeah,

33:58

true. Also, when it comes- down to

34:00

the nuts and bolts of this story, Julie

34:03

hangs out with R in the beginning half

34:05

for kind of no reason. Yeah,

34:07

he's like, oh, it's not safe. There aren't

34:09

really any plot cogs forcing

34:12

them to be together. They kind of

34:14

both know that there's no reason

34:16

for her to stay. That's how you know it's love. Like

34:19

she knows there's no reason for her to be there, but

34:21

she just wants to hang out. Like she

34:23

could just as easily leave. She does try to escape at

34:25

one point. She does

34:27

try to escape. And he's like, what

34:29

the fuck are you doing? I

34:31

told you. No, I

34:34

think I think it's the difference

34:36

in how it approaches its relationships.

34:38

Like Warm Bodies is very much

34:40

a young adult romance and Renfield

34:42

deals with like the complicated, muddy

34:44

adult problems of a bad relationship.

34:47

It's way more violent. It's

34:49

got an incredible supporting cast,

34:52

including Ben Schwartz,

34:54

who's just like the dumbest evil

34:57

henchmen ever. It's

34:59

got way more horror references. It's super

35:01

gory. It's way silly. So it's more just

35:03

age appropriate. I think that for us as horror fans,

35:05

that's probably it. Yeah. I

35:08

mean, this is it's squee versus.

35:11

Yeah. This movie is very sick and

35:13

cute. Yeah. Surprisingly for a zombie

35:15

movie. Yeah. But I mean,

35:17

it's, it's, I don't know. This movie doesn't

35:20

even feel smelly. No, no.

35:22

Isn't that strange? Despite the fact that all the

35:24

zombies are like,

35:27

is that a 70 year old girl? Like

35:29

everybody's walking around sniffing fresh blood.

35:32

But I think it's maybe

35:34

an appropriate choice for Valentine's Day. Like when

35:36

I think of Valentine's Day, I don't think

35:38

of adults celebrating Valentine's Day. I think of

35:41

teenagers and kids handing out little cards at

35:43

school. Like Valentine's Day is much more of

35:45

a, yeah, you remember those days. You

35:48

had to make the little box. Yeah.

35:51

Valentine's Day is much more of

35:53

a young adult activity. And

35:56

you know, saying that because he doesn't get me anything.

36:02

No, that's not true. We went to see a live

36:04

quartet thing. It was like the most romantic thing we've

36:06

done in the 800 years we've been together. Yeah,

36:08

it's great. We went to go listen to some...

36:11

We went to the planetarium

36:13

to watch a

36:15

quartet play classical music and

36:17

also music from Breakfast at

36:19

Tiffany. Yeah, and we went on a

36:21

classy pre-dinner date and got grilled cheese. At

36:25

a brewery. Because we're adults. Yeah,

36:28

that makes a lot of sense. And

36:30

I think that adds variety to

36:33

the horror genre overall because sometimes

36:35

you kind of do actually want

36:37

feel-good horror. Yeah. As somebody who's

36:40

kind of exclusively watches dark and

36:42

dreary movies, there are different

36:44

shades in that. I find I often go to

36:46

like a Tim Burton movie when I want something

36:48

a little cheery, but those

36:51

are kind of classified as dark fantasies or

36:54

dark family movies. But

36:56

they all have a little bit of optimism in

36:59

them. And it's nice to have movies within the

37:01

genre that you love that you can go to

37:03

and say, you know, you want to watch a

37:05

romance. Yeah, this is what makes

37:07

horror the greatest genre out there.

37:10

If you want romance, if you

37:12

want comedy, if you want over-the-top

37:14

pretentious art, like you can get all of that

37:17

in horror. Like if you're the kind of person

37:19

who doesn't watch horror movies and you want to

37:21

watch a comedy or a drama, you got to

37:23

walk to different sections of the video store, you

37:25

know what I'm saying? Horror has

37:27

so many different shades that any

37:30

type of story that you want to tell can

37:32

be told through horror or any

37:34

type of story you want to

37:36

see, you can find in the

37:38

horror section of whatever streaming service

37:40

you're watching. Horror isn't just, we all know

37:42

this. And like, I'm preaching to

37:44

the converted here. Like we are casually

37:47

obsessed. Like we don't just watch the

37:49

Gorehound movies. Like we're not always in

37:51

it for just blood and guts and

37:53

like the most visceral fuck your life

37:55

up kinds of movies. All the time.

37:57

Yeah, Friday nights, absolutely give it to

37:59

me. me you know but like

38:01

every once in a while you want

38:03

to watch a squee little fucking rom-com

38:06

like valentine's like valentine's and we want

38:08

to watch zombies find life again through

38:10

love how cute yeah honestly

38:12

i like this movie way more than i thought i was

38:14

going to yeah same i had a lot more fun than

38:17

i did and maybe that's just me clinging on to that

38:19

younger version of myself that's like romance

38:22

you're gonna find

38:24

life through love and he does and i

38:27

really enjoyed it yeah

38:31

no like i i was fully expect because i knew this

38:33

is a movie that a lot of people do like and

38:35

i was fully just like all right well you know fuck

38:37

it like i think i might just get in front of

38:40

this microphone and be like sorry guys i thought it was

38:42

trash but it was a lot of fun it had some

38:44

good jokes it was just and surprising moments of

38:46

zombie ingenuity yeah no like great

38:48

twists in the zombie subgenre i don't know

38:50

why more people haven't taken that enough

38:53

time's gone by just steal it whatever

38:55

yeah yeah i get their memories when i eat their brains

38:57

it's great love it uh yeah so i'm

38:59

gonna give it a three out of four i'm also giving it a three or four

39:01

yeah fun would definitely watch again next

39:03

valentine's day oh yeah and

39:06

and there's a reason why it's kind of recommended a

39:08

lot because it is a very easy watch like you

39:10

could definitely watch this with people who aren't necessarily big

39:13

on the horror genre i think that was the

39:15

target audience like i think they were like okay well

39:17

i mean zombies are huge right now but also like

39:19

i think this is it's

39:21

got shea it's this could be somebody's

39:23

first horror movie yeah it's a very commercial

39:26

and universal horror movie

39:28

i don't know why i emphasize horror like that yeah

39:30

it was like this was a great

39:33

date night movie in 2013 yeah absolutely

39:35

but that's just what we thought of warm
