1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,200
Hello demonic ones.
Welcome to a bite of I'm Derek.
2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,920
That's Noah.
And today we are talking about
3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:18,160
The Conjuring last rites.
The 4th and The Conjuring.
4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,360
The final Supposedly they said
that there might be a prequel
5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,440
series in the work.
I don't know, but this is the
6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,040
end of the franchise.
I guess no more.
7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,320
No more La Yarona, no more
Annabelle's.
8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,560
This is it.
Yeah, yeah, all the the series
9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,400
has come to an end with this 4th
and final.
10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,440
We did revisit one through 3.
That's our last episode.
11
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,160
The reason why there was a
little bit of a break just
12
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:38,920
putting out there.
We did unfortunately lose our
13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,800
cat.
So we're taking a little mental
14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,480
health grieving process.
But we are back over on Patreon,
15
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:47,160
we picked up a bite of the week
where we talked about the latest
16
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,200
movie, TV, whatever, pop culture
news.
17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,920
So, you know, support the show
and get free episodes every week
18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,960
we talk about things that
happened.
19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,440
Nothing says how to come back
from grieving a loss than The
20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,600
Conjuring last rites.
You know, but when we lost our
21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,400
first dog a couple years ago, we
were doing The Last of Us.
22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,400
It was a very emotional journey.
And now this, I'm like, guys, we
23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,840
timed it very wrong again.
But it's fine.
24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,160
But yeah, make sure you leave
subscribing, leave a review,
25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,000
commenting if you're watching
this, liking all that amazing
26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,600
stuff.
Spoilers ahead for the entire
27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Conjuring franchise universe.
It could be spoiled.
28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,600
If you haven't seen these
movies, go watch them 'cause I
29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,080
and then come back.
Absolutely.
30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,880
So let us officially take a bite
of The Conjuring Last Rites,
31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,960
written by Ian Goldberg, Richard
Nang, and David Leslie Johnson
32
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:43,520
McGoldrick and directed by
Michael Chaves.
33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,760
Ed and Lorraine Warren have
taken a break from their cases
34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,960
of the paranormal to focus on
Ed's health and their personal
35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280
lives.
However, they are forced to take
36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,600
on one last haunting when a
demonic presence threatens one
37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,800
of their own.
Oh my gosh, so.
38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120
It's ended, it's here.
All roads lead here.
39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,400
What did you think?
I OK, I have come to the
40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,120
conclusion after watching all
three conjurings and then
41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,920
watching this one that what I
think that they set out to do
42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,120
either intentionally or not
intentionally, is that these
43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,120
movies are like this might sound
weird, like comfort horror.
44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000
You know what I mean?
Like people don't the the body
45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,400
count doesn't go up the the mod
experience, the the anti isn't
46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,120
raised up every single
installment, right.
47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,840
It's kind of what I said, and
when we were revisiting the
48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,520
first three that like these are,
you kind of know what's going to
49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,640
happen.
You get introduced to the
50
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,040
family, then the Warrens, then
they all come together.
51
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,600
I felt like this was the same.
But that did disappoint me
52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,720
because it was their final one
and the marketing and everything
53
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,720
made it seem like this was the
case that ended it all.
54
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,640
OK.
It was not as scary as the
55
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,960
others.
It was just literally the last
56
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,160
case that ended it all.
Yeah, so I I got everything that
57
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,760
I love from The Conjuring movies
a little less than, but I
58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,000
thought it was fine.
I don't think it's my favorite
59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,240
in the series, but if you like
The Conjuring, I don't think
60
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,360
you'll be necessarily
disappointed.
61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,480
I just think for a series closer
or franchise closer, that's
62
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,160
disappointing.
Yeah, I mean, in general, I, I
63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,240
enjoyed this, right?
I was entertained.
64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,960
I I, I am such a fan of this
franchise, so being with them
65
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,960
one last time really meant a lot
to me.
66
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,000
I was happy to be there, but I
think one of the things that was
67
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,480
working against it, at least in
my opinion, is that I don't
68
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000
think that this last one stands
alone.
69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,200
So I think that you needed to
see the other three to really
70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560
kind of get what was going on in
this last one.
71
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,000
Because we had Judy all grown
up.
72
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,440
We had a lot of throwbacks.
We had Ed's health, which is
73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,080
something that becomes a big
deal in the third one.
74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,240
So if you're going into this
fresh being like, oh, I'm going
75
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,440
to see a scary movie, I I really
think you got to start with one
76
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,400
of the other ones before seeing
this last one.
77
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
And I think that could work
against it for audiences.
78
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,000
Yeah.
Well, again, I, I do think it
79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240
would be weird if you did see
this without seeing the other
80
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,959
ones, or at least the first one,
right.
81
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,440
I feel like if you saw the first
one, you'd be fine.
82
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,320
Granted, you should see the
other ones because they're good,
83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,360
but if you saw that.
But there is a lot of callbacks
84
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,160
and I think for me personally,
and I'm sure we'll get into it,
85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000
but the callbacks, there was too
many.
86
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,000
It was almost like the basement
I think was exactly the same
87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,160
from the first movie, which I
thought was bizarre.
88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,160
Like even the layout of the
basement was the same.
89
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,200
It just seemed almost like I get
like in franchises, right?
90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,200
When they're ending, they want
to show people that got the
91
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,640
franchise to this point right?
So we see people in the past, we
92
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,400
see callbacks, we see Easter
eggs and stuff, which is fine,
93
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,320
but I think the movie relied too
much on that.
94
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,120
But in the inverse, I love the
family drama part of it of like
95
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,200
the Warrens.
Everything that the was
96
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,800
happening with the Warrens, I
almost forgot it was supposed to
97
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,240
be a horror movie in some
aspects because it was like like
98
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,840
meet the Exorcists, not meet the
the parents, but it was like
99
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,120
meet the exorcist, right?
And she's introducing Tony to
100
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,640
her parents.
So I liked that aspect of it.
101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080
So I, I, it was, it was
interesting.
102
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,800
I'm not sure what they were
trying to do with this movie,
103
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,480
but it didn't feel like a
finale.
104
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,280
I, I almost wonder if it was a
balance issue, right?
105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Because we did start off with
that similar thing of kind of
106
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,920
looking at a case that wasn't
well in the past.
107
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Let's say it wasn't the main
case for this, but this one very
108
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,640
particularly connected to the
case of this.
109
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,960
And we get a glimpse of the
warrants from the past.
110
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,240
Then we have Ed's birthday
party.
111
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,920
Then we learn that Judy as a
boyfriend.
112
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,600
Then we hear about this other
family.
113
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:57,040
And so it was all these pieces.
And then like you're saying, all
114
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,720
these really great throwbacks
and Easter egg things, which I
115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,360
really loved.
But I think that could they were
116
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,520
trying to smush a lot of stuff
in and they weren't necessarily
117
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,160
sure what direction they were
going in.
118
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,240
It was like it's a case which is
like the the other movies in the
119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,880
franchise, but we also have to
wrap up their family story as
120
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,360
well.
Yeah, which is interesting
121
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800
because I do feel like in the
past Conjuring movies, we love
122
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,080
Ed and Lorraine Lauren, right?
We've talked about this.
123
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,560
If you if you want to hear all
of those thoughts, listen to the
124
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,960
episode in the past.
But we love them.
125
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,760
But one of the interesting
things about the movies is that
126
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,160
we don't really learn too much
about them outside of just the
127
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,640
little times that we're spending
with them, right?
128
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,200
We just love them and they play
them so true and straight and
129
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,920
like great that we're just here
for them, right.
130
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,040
And so I think adding this much
background to them was
131
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,360
interesting to do in the final
one when it was like, by the
132
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,480
way, there's still like a case
you guys have to do.
133
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,880
So like that's going to be the
climactic part.
134
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,080
That almost was like, Oh, let's
just tie it to like a case that
135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:01,880
they did.
Yeah.
136
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,720
I.
I think one of the things that I
137
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,920
had mentioned in our last
episode was when I saw the first
138
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Conjuring, to me, it felt like
it was mainly about the parent
139
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,480
family, and then the Ed and
Lorraine were the people that
140
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,840
came in to help them.
And we see that in the second
141
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,600
one and the third one a little
less because it's like detective
142
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,680
story.
This one, it really felt like
143
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,920
these are the Warrens, and then
they just happened to be on the
144
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,960
job for one or two nights.
Yeah.
145
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,480
Which I do, I do appreciate.
It was just long, you know, and
146
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,520
I, I felt like doing that much
almost slowed the momentum a
147
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,760
little bit of, of the movie
itself.
148
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,840
One of the things that we did
talk about in the the three
149
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,640
conjurings before, you know,
James Bond had done the 1st 2
150
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,360
Michael Chavez is that.
Chavez.
151
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,200
I was saying Chavez when we were
doing it.
152
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,000
That's what I assumed it was.
Apparently not.
153
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,240
I did the same.
So I apologize to to Michael.
154
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,720
Sorry, Michael, but So what we
kind of look for in these movies
155
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,160
is The Conjuring moment, right
in the first one, you could
156
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,760
really point it to a couple
different ones, but like the mom
157
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,960
being upside down in the chair,
like there's a big climactic
158
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,360
moments.
And this one, I felt like it was
159
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,120
almost missing it just a little
bit.
160
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,920
We got the Annabelle moment
right of it growing big, which I
161
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,360
was not a fan of.
I really didn't like that
162
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,320
because one thing I've loved
about The Conjuring movies is
163
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,240
even though it looks impressive,
it's usually like low tech and
164
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,080
not necessarily super huge CGI.
As it's gone on, it's leaned a
165
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,720
little more into that and then
the mirror, which can lend
166
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,880
itself to some cool like camera
tricks and stuff.
167
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,520
But I, I'm not too scared of a,
a ornate mirror, you know, so it
168
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,320
was lacking in, in that.
And like a, a guy in overalls,
169
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,480
like I, I was just like waiting
for like, oh, what is like this
170
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,080
conjuring's moment, like the
crooked man, Where, where is
171
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,440
that moment?
And I was kind of disappointed
172
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,480
that we didn't get that.
Like we saw Lorraine and a bunch
173
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,240
of blood, but you know, OK.
Yeah.
174
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,760
I mean, even if we look at that
basement scene again, she falls
175
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,400
into this big puddle of blood
that doesn't necessarily exist.
176
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,920
And something similar happens in
the second one, right?
177
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,160
They're in a basement, there's a
flood.
178
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,600
They're swimming around.
They can't do it.
179
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,600
So again, is it that they were
pulling these things from the
180
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,840
past to kind of tie it all up or
that they run out of ideas?
181
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,640
That I don't know.
But I I agree, even in that
182
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:27,920
final climactic moment where
this demonic mirror is chopping
183
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,360
people in half trying to at
least there's we don't see
184
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,480
anything.
Well, I think I what is really
185
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,960
funny, the more I think about
that moment and again, like I I
186
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,360
think they shot this movie
really well.
187
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,520
Like it's it's all pretty much
in handheld, which gave like an
188
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,800
interesting depth of field,
which made it, you know, fear
189
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,000
more 80s than before, which I
liked.
190
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,840
But like that.
But like the climactic moment
191
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,760
was like the smurls kind of get
literally moved out of the
192
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,440
picture, right.
So I thought that was
193
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,200
interesting.
And then it's just like the dad,
194
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:05,200
the Jack Smurrell and Ed and
Tony kind of helping just moving
195
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,400
a mirror.
Like I, it was interesting.
196
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,240
I was like, this is like how
they're going to end this.
197
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,480
Like this franchise is like just
moving a mirror, which I did
198
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,520
like it's spinning and it kind
of, I guess tearing Tony up a
199
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,640
little bit.
But that that was interesting.
200
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,480
I was just like, where's the
where's the where's the ghosts?
201
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920
Where's the demons?
You know, my, my biggest worry
202
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,960
in that climax, and I really
mean this, is that I hope no one
203
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,480
touches the mirror, right?
That was the big thing.
204
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,520
Don't touch the mirror.
Oh, no, they touched the mirror.
205
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,960
Whereas in the past, it's
literally like trying to
206
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,920
exercise a parent or, you know,
trying to kill a child or
207
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,680
something.
You know what I mean?
208
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:42,920
Like the stakes were much higher
in those other ones than they
209
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,880
were in this one.
And I think, you know, as far as
210
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,560
the Smurls are considered,
again, we have a family dynamic
211
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,760
here.
It feels very similar of them
212
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,920
living in this house and they
can't leave and they're stuck
213
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,400
there and they're trapped.
I didn't.
214
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,680
I didn't appreciate their reason
for not leaving.
215
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,840
Their reason for not leaving was
like, we're broke and it's like.
216
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,600
You don't even know anyone.
Well, but like you're in the
217
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,040
80s, you know what I mean?
Like, I know it's kind of rough,
218
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,440
but like, is dying better than
not?
219
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,680
Yeah, it was just a weird like,
also, why are the parents there?
220
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:17,440
Like do the parents live with
them or could they go to their
221
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,840
parents house or they live down
the street?
222
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,240
I was just like a weird
unanswered questions or I was
223
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,480
like, and there was this like
undercurrent of like domestic
224
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,680
abuse and violence that was like
with the ghosts and could be
225
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,480
with the family that I think
they just kind of glazed over,
226
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,200
which would admit made that part
of the story a little more
227
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,680
compelling.
Yeah, I mean, to me it felt like
228
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,400
they just socio economically
they couldn't pay to go to a
229
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,800
hotel.
Maybe they didn't have any
230
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,360
family.
Obviously the eight of them all
231
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,760
live together in that one house,
so even the the younger family
232
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,600
couldn't live on their own.
So that didn't bother me so
233
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,360
much.
I also have to say 1 positive
234
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,480
thing is that sometimes I think
when things are set in the 80s,
235
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,040
it can feel very costumey,
right?
236
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,000
We can automatically go to like
tubular and things like that.
237
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,600
And so this took place in the
80s.
238
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,240
I felt like they didn't go too
over the top with the costume
239
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,280
design because I think that
that's really easy for costume
240
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,960
designers to do when it comes to
the 80s, just because we think
241
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,920
of Lemay dresses and you know,
Jazzercise and things like that.
242
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,440
So big, teased Poofy.
Yes.
243
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,280
So I appreciated that about
this.
244
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,560
They felt like real human
characters in this world.
245
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,160
And I even think with Ed and
Lorraine, this is the oldest
246
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,360
we're going to be seeing them
out of the franchise and they
247
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,760
still looked great.
You know, I did.
248
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,640
I thought it was funny that they
still dressed how they dressed
249
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,120
in this time, especially
Lorraine.
250
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,840
She was like a Stark, like, your
outfit's out of place now
251
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,640
because if you see her next to
Judy, Judy with very much was
252
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,720
like Stevie Nicks and Lorraine
was like, I don't know,
253
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,120
Victorian doll.
Yeah.
254
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,960
So it was interesting to see
them both together of like, oh,
255
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,880
like the times are literally
changing.
256
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,600
They're eventually going to, I
guess, teach a a new generation
257
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,920
of exorcists in some way.
But I, I did think that that was
258
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,200
that was nice.
I like seeing them kind of this
259
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,680
is they're actually literally
retiring because there's a new
260
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:15,440
generation here.
Let's talk about Judy a little
261
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,160
bit.
I really liked her.
262
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,120
I thought she was really good,
really strong, and I liked that
263
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,600
idea of us kind of feeling like
the gift has been passed on,
264
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,200
right?
There is the one person in the
265
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,760
relationship who has these
psychic abilities and there's
266
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,720
the other person there that is
going to protect them and uphold
267
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,600
them through all these trials
and tribulations.
268
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,800
So I appreciate that.
And I think that this, the
269
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,120
actress that played Judy, who I
had mentioned isn't the one that
270
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,760
played her in the first 3
movies.
271
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,480
Mia Tomlinson think she did a
fantastic job, especially in the
272
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480
scene where she's trying on the
wedding dress in the endless
273
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,560
mirrors.
Yeah, I I think the saving
274
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:58,280
graces for this movie for me is
the cast, the performances,
275
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Judy, Ed and Lorraine.
I think Tony was fine.
276
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,760
But really they're the ones that
I sat in my theater seat for
277
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,240
over 2 hours to watch, right?
Even though this was a new actor
278
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,720
that played Judy, I love the
character, right?
279
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,760
And we did see younger Judy to
now and I think she looked like
280
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,760
her, like it look like, man,
that could be her grown up,
281
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,600
right.
So as fans of this franchise
282
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,640
seeing being with these
characters for over 10 years, it
283
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,280
was nice.
And to see that I think they did
284
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,840
a good job with Judy.
I loved the wedding scene, even
285
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,760
though I was like, it's kind of
cheesy for them to bring
286
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,480
characters back.
I did really like seeing those
287
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,880
characters and James Wan making
an appearance in the crowd,
288
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,000
which I thought was nice.
But yeah, I like Judy a lot.
289
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,640
I think her story was great.
I liked the idea of her getting
290
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,360
the visions or the clairvoyancy
that her mother had.
291
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,880
It did really annoy me though.
It fell into that trope and trap
292
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,200
of oh they're going to have the
same ability as me, I need to
293
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,440
protect them and shelter from.
It's like why though?
294
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,760
Like you know what could happen
and also you.
295
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,440
Would think that over these
years, Lorraine has learned that
296
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,400
hiding it is not the answer,
right?
297
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,000
Right.
It's what's giving them their
298
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,360
livelihood.
It's what's connected them to
299
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,360
their faith.
Why would she decide that for
300
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,600
her daughter?
Just because maybe seeing her
301
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,120
daughter as a little girl, she
was scared.
302
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:14,880
Well, right.
Yeah.
303
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,920
I mean, she, I think the idea is
to protect them, right?
304
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,520
So it won't happen.
But she should know from her own
305
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,320
experience that you can't
necessarily completely shut that
306
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,560
off, right?
It's like you're going to be
307
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,040
getting bouts of visions and
stuff, which she did regardless
308
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,920
of teaching her how to shut
those out.
309
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,320
So there was just a few things
in this movie were like the past
310
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,120
movies didn't really fall into
generic tropes like that.
311
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,840
And this movie really I was
like, why aren't you telling
312
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,520
each other things?
This is weird.
313
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,440
Like, can y'all communicate?
You guys aren't usually like
314
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,560
this.
So it was weird of like, I know
315
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,480
why you're doing it to push the
plot forward, but it's really
316
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,720
annoying because your characters
don't do that.
317
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,400
Yeah, I understand that and I
think so.
318
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,520
Another interesting bit about
this movie is that we do see a
319
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,040
younger Ed and Lorraine Warren
loved it, yeah, played by
320
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,440
different actors, but they
looked so much like them.
321
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,360
They did such a great job at the
casting there.
322
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,800
But we see in that first scene,
this mirror demon once tried to
323
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,720
take Judy's life when she was in
Euro, right?
324
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,680
And then she was stillborn when
she was born, but they brought
325
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,720
her back.
So maybe that has something to
326
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,400
do with, I don't know, Lorraine
being so protective of her,
327
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,920
perhaps.
But you know, again, it was
328
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,640
really rooted in this family
story and what it led to to now.
329
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,120
I like that.
I think it was nice to have like
330
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,840
they're one of their very first
cases come back to them, right.
331
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:45,920
Did I think it was as bitey or
as like intense or the the one
332
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,040
that ended it all for them?
No, I don't like that.
333
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,280
I think that's what was like
disappointing because they
334
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,880
themselves hyped it up.
But I liked that there was a
335
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,080
through line with that.
As soon as they saw that mirror,
336
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,720
they're like this is the same
mirror.
337
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,520
It's scary, right?
But I think in the inverse of
338
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:06,839
that, every conjuring we we get
a name for the demon or the
339
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:10,640
entity, right?
We have Valik, which we know
340
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,000
from the nun, right?
We have Bathsheba from the first
341
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,640
one, The third one.
What was the third one's name?
342
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,400
Do we do we even get it?
Oh, it was the the Occultist.
343
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,119
Yeah.
And in this one, I think one of
344
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,560
the things that was really
missing was a name.
345
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,280
Yeah.
We learn in the first one, when
346
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,480
you learn the name of the demon,
you have power over it.
347
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,640
So for them to not know the name
of this demon that was
348
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,520
apparently using the three
ghosts as a shield, kind of like
349
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,600
in the second one, was odd, was
an odd choice.
350
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,200
I felt like, OK, I guess they're
done.
351
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,880
Right.
And you know, it's, it's funny
352
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,840
because one of the pieces that I
like of The Conjuring so much is
353
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,480
when they're putting the clues
together to figure everything
354
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,840
out, to see what happened to
this family in this house and
355
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,760
where this demonic presence came
from.
356
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,360
And you know, in the third one,
I thought they went there too
357
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:01,000
far, right.
It was 2 paranormal detectives.
358
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,120
This one was nothing at all.
They didn't do any research.
359
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,440
They didn't go out to find any
information.
360
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,040
Well.
They were reluctant to take
361
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:12,520
cases physically, like actual
cases, you know, So it was
362
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,480
interesting for them to like,
OK, fine.
363
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,440
But then immediately get to
exercising it.
364
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,880
Yeah.
She was like, that's so Raven.
365
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,600
She's just like, oh, it's a
family of three and there's a
366
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,760
demon using them as.
Puppets, yeah, which again, I
367
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,440
think is like weird that we got
a story where like a big
368
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,760
malevolent valic was using a
ghost if somebody manipulate
369
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,800
them, but then we didn't really
see the wizard behind that
370
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,760
manipulation, right.
So I think like just kind of
371
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,280
wrapping up our thoughts or
this, you know, the movie.
372
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,120
I didn't appreciate them
torturing that dog for no
373
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,720
apparent reason, Simon.
But I'm glad Simon survived,
374
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,840
unlike Sadie from the last first
one.
375
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,640
I think it was a fine
installment, but this feels like
376
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,360
more like a third, not a final.
I am a little disappointed as
377
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:05,800
like we watch these Conjuring
movies that even though this is
378
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,480
like the highest grossing horror
franchise and film history, the
379
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,640
more they've gone on, the less
it looks like it has money, if
380
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,880
that makes sense.
Like the first one is just
381
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,960
unbeatable.
It's unbeatable and sound design
382
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,840
and acting and scares and just
using it.
383
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,240
And so like when we finally get
to this fourth one, AKA like I
384
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,040
think the 8th movie in the whole
franchise, I wanted more.
385
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,800
I wanted a little a little
punchier.
386
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,840
And it's always so interesting
to me sometimes when you see
387
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:41,080
movies where the first one it's
like 1 writer and it's stellar,
388
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,240
and then by the third one it's
like 3 writers and two people
389
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,960
helping to write the story.
On top of that.
390
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,680
It's like something doesn't feel
as authentic as it did.
391
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080
And I think maybe that has
something to do with like we
392
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,400
just have to get this last one
out there.
393
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,000
I don't know.
But I think I feel a lot of the
394
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,760
same sentiments that you do, but
I still liked it.
395
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,560
And I, and I think The thing is,
is that I wanted to kind of get
396
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,480
into some of these callbacks
that we keep mentioning.
397
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,960
So I'm going to list some off
and then we can stop and talk
398
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,800
about them.
So the thing that Noah mentions
399
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,760
that there's a lot of guest
appearances here, right?
400
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,000
So at the AT Ed's barbecue in
the beginning for his birthday,
401
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,440
we have Brad the cop from the
first one and we even get a
402
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,800
glimpse of Drew who was their
assistant in the 1st 2:00.
403
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,160
Annabelle obviously is back in
action.
404
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,800
We get the call back to the Miss
Me from the pre story of the
405
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,680
first one.
We get the music box in the kids
406
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,440
room mimicking a music box and
one and two very much looking
407
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,160
like the crooked man spinning
thing.
408
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,680
We have another spooky doll
Susie.
409
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
We have Valek being spelled out
in some children's blocks.
410
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:46,840
That's what that was.
Spelling.
411
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,560
Dang it.
Yeah, so we see that again.
412
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,240
We have Judy Zlocka coming back.
We have the basement hauntings.
413
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,920
We have, you know, in the first
one we had hide and clap.
414
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,440
In this one we see the kids play
a prank on the mom, which the
415
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,280
ghost uses again to trick the
mom.
416
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,600
Again.
The animals, some died, some
417
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,160
didn't.
One of the other things I
418
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,400
thought of was that we see Ed
making pancakes for the family
419
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,960
again and them taking care of
them.
420
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,240
I really liked Tony being like,
is this part of it?
421
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,880
Is this cause like he's, he's on
the investigation, right?
422
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:21,600
And even though Ed says no, yes,
it 100% is part of it because he
423
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,000
does that every time for the
family.
424
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,720
And I think it's just a
comforting thing, right?
425
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,920
Absolutely, because he does say
part of our job here is to also
426
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,080
take care of this family because
they've been through so much.
427
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,520
And then that end wedding scene,
Judy's wedding, we have Julian
428
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,440
Hillard as David from the third
one.
429
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,440
We have Madison Wolf and Francis
O'Connor as two of the Hodgens
430
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,720
from the second one.
And of course, we have Lily
431
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,080
Taylor as Carolyn and Mackenzie
Foy as Cindy.
432
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,760
Two of the parents have come
from Rhode Island to see Judy
433
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,400
get married.
That's so sweet.
434
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,840
I really love that.
Like that.
435
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,800
To me, I don't know what it is
about Lily Taylor.
436
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,160
Anytime I see that woman on
Scream, I, like, jump out of my
437
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,280
seat.
I'm so excited.
438
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,520
So seeing her there as really
she was kind of, to me, the main
439
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,560
driving force of the first
movie, Yeah.
440
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,720
Yeah.
And I think we we saw that
441
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,000
connection, right.
We saw.
442
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,360
I do feel like, unfortunately, I
like James Wan's direction a
443
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:14,040
little more than Michael Chavs.
I think James Wan kind of
444
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,240
understood the vision that he
was trying to do, and Michael
445
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,400
feels more like a studio touch
to it.
446
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,720
And I don't particularly like
that the first two are vastly
447
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,520
different from the last two.
And it's just like you said,
448
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,480
focusing more on the family
that's getting haunted with Ed
449
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,520
and Lorraine coming in.
But saying that the last image
450
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,120
that we get of Ed and Lorraine
dancing at their daughter's
451
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:42,000
wedding, right before that,
Lorraine says, I got a vision
452
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,760
and she literally spells out the
rest of their lives, which was
453
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,120
beautiful.
And it's everything that they
454
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:48,560
wanted, right?
I love that moment.
455
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,400
I love it.
And it when I heard that they're
456
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080
thinking about making a prequel
series of like young Ed and
457
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,320
Lorraine, I get the actors that
played young them in this.
458
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,320
It'd be amazing.
I kind of was like really happy
459
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,120
about it because I do love these
characters.
460
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,440
I don't like the actual Ed and
Lorraine Warren.
461
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,080
I like these versions.
I like the fictional versions
462
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,640
and I just kind of want more of
them.
463
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,000
You know, I, I think it's, it's,
it's, they created something
464
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,360
very interesting to where it is
a cozy, haunting house movies
465
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:21,800
that like there's some gore and
stuff like that.
466
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,600
But like, I still get surprised
that like this one is rated R.
467
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,360
It does not feel like it should
be rated R because it's like, I
468
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:30,720
could pop this on and like have
it on while I'm like cooking
469
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,880
dinner or something, you know
what I mean?
470
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,760
Like it's just it's super chill.
Yeah, I like, you know, we have
471
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,280
cozy fantasies now, and I like
the idea of cozy horror movies
472
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,080
as well.
That's really my type of horror
473
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,200
movie, really kind of about the
people, about the experience.
474
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,600
There's a couple of jump scares
in there.
475
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,280
And you know, I have to say that
that final scene of Lorraine
476
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,200
having that vision of the rest
of their lives actually brought
477
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,240
a tear to my eyes.
I heard because I.
478
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,120
Really do love these characters.
I love what they've built in
479
00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:00,280
this Conjuring universe.
I love this idea of leading with
480
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,720
kindness and love and faith.
I don't think you see that a lot
481
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,720
in horror movies, and so seeing
their story spelled out
482
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,680
definitely made me feel
emotional.
483
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,000
And then of course, our final
text letting everyone know how
484
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,280
they passed away and how they
were together till the end.
485
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,880
Actually really sad.
Yeah, it was really sad that
486
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,640
she.
She lived a really long,
487
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,320
beautiful life.
I didn't.
488
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Realize she was that old.
Yeah, that's damn.
489
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:26,720
So I, I will say that I felt
moved by that.
490
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,440
I thought it was a nice final
chapter to this book of The
491
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,600
Conjuring.
I will say that when we left the
492
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,760
movie theater, there was this
guy and he was saying to his
493
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,680
family, this movie wasn't scary
at all.
494
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,120
And it's that idea of I don't
necessarily know that it's
495
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:46,360
supposed to be like, so scary.
Yeah, I, I do feel like, I don't
496
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:50,200
think it's supposed to be like
super, super like Uber
497
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,560
terrifying.
But I do think it was missing
498
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,200
some of those like quiet intense
where the score is really
499
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,240
driving the fear.
I think it was missing that part
500
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,720
to it, right.
The sound design wasn't as good
501
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,480
as the other ones.
And I think it kind of just
502
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,400
plays into that, right?
If like, we're supposed to be
503
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,680
scared of a mirror, right?
And a guy in overalls like it's
504
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,840
not going to work.
But I feel like this movie,
505
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,640
oddly, was more of a family
drama than it was of an actual
506
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,120
haunting.
Last rites more like last
507
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:21,600
wrongs.
I did.
508
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,080
Well, we didn't say Father
Gordon does make an appearance
509
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,360
in this and he does
unfortunately not make it out of
510
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:27,680
the series.
So he does.
511
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,360
He's like, really the only
casualty.
512
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,080
Trigger warning.
Honestly though, for Death by
513
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,920
hanging 3 three different times,
it's pretty rough.
514
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,520
Yeah, yeah, that's that, I guess
now makes sense why it's rated
515
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,120
R, right?
Yeah, that's true.
516
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,320
A girl vomiting blood doesn't
put it at rated R.
517
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,320
But that was Grouse, though.
That was Grouse, yeah.
518
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:54,920
OK, so this is until the show
comes out, our final kind of
519
00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:00,400
talking of The Conjuring, right?
We ranked our first three in the
520
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,360
last episode.
Just to remind people my ranking
521
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:09,840
was what was it 132 I believe
and yours was 123 going in best
522
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,440
to least.
What is your ranking now with
523
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,040
the 4th 1?
Oh gosh, you know, I think my
524
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,760
love for this franchise is
blinding me a little bit, but
525
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,480
I'm going to go into that and
lean into it.
526
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:29,280
I'm going to go 1243.
So this is just skipping ahead
527
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,240
of #3 into the third position.
Interesting.
528
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,920
I'm I think I actually have to
say the same.
529
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,200
I'm changing my rankings.
I'm going 124 and three.
530
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,000
Honestly, yeah, because I think
the more I think about it, I
531
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,520
think we were just so fresh off
of watching 3 and I think it was
532
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,960
intense in some ways that the
first two weren't in like real
533
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,120
horror, right, Which I did like.
But the more I think about, it's
534
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:56,000
like, oh, that didn't feel like
The Conjuring.
535
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,280
That just felt like a Hills have
Eyes type thing, right.
536
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,200
But I just like you.
I love these characters.
537
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,400
So I think just seeing them very
exceptionally happy and they got
538
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,720
everything that they wanted just
warms my little exorcist heart,
539
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,640
yeah.
I think for me, if this one had
540
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,720
a little more detective work in
it and didn't have that dumb
541
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,960
giant Annabelle.
Yeah, that was weird.
542
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,800
I also, I don't understand.
Like I guess she was terrified
543
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,160
of Annabelle ever since she was
little.
544
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,720
I was just like confused why
Annabelle was so involved in
545
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,000
this.
It almost, it felt overplayed.
546
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,440
I was like, Annabelle got 2
movies.
547
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,600
We've seen her in almost every
single Conjuring.
548
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,360
Like get her out of here.
Let her.
549
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:35,880
Retire just hates Judy, right?
That's it.
550
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,800
She just, she just hates her and
she's willing to take her down
551
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,760
at any.
Cost.
552
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,400
Please do no.
No, not Judy, but I really do
553
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,800
hope we get a prequel series.
I would love to see Young, Ed
554
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,960
and Lorraine seeing more cases.
I'm really curious to see if
555
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,880
it's going to be like one off
per episode or just one case for
556
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,680
the entire season.
I'm I'm really interested to see
557
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,680
that.
Yeah, I'm not sure too sure who
558
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,040
would have the right.
Is it paramount?
559
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,320
It's going to.
Was it HBO that might be doing
560
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,040
it?
I don't know.
561
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,520
All right, we'll see.
We'll find out.
562
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,800
Yeah, let us know who you
thought of last Rite slash The
563
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,760
Conjuring franchise, because now
it's done.
564
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,040
I don't even think there's any
spin offs or anything planned so
565
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,640
except for the prequel series
so.
566
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:19,520
Guess what?
Annabelle 4.
567
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,120
She's back, baby.
Keep forgetting there's the
568
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:25,840
third one.
All right, Well, till next time.
569
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,400
Bye.
