Episode #762: The Final Destination
Added 2024-10-08 04:00:03 +0000 UTC“It’s a bunch of dead-eyed, CW, catalog models…” - Andrew, on this cast of dead meats
On this week’s episode, the 2024 Halloween Spooktacular continues on the FOUR-OR MOVIE journey with the absolutely dreadful box office juggernaut, The Final Destination! How silly are all these 3D gags? Why did they cut the budget so harshly on this one, thus killing all their special effects? Why did the writers think the script needed that slur when you can already tell that the character is racist? And how in the world do you make one of these movies without the legendary Tony Todd? PLUS: Eric and Steve conjure the Bye Bye Man!
The Final Destination stars Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Nick Zano, Haley Webb, Mykelti Williamson, Krista Allen, Andrew Fiscella, Stephanie Honoré, Lara Grice, Jackson Walker, Phil Austin, and Justin Welborn as Racist; directed by David Ellis.

Why is there so much gas tank-based and/or -adjacent violence in this movie?? Does one of the writers have an extremely specific phobia? Definitely should have gone with the gator death.

2024-10-11 14:15:26 +0000 UTCI am almost 40, and Andrew taught me how fire sprinklers automatically turn on at the end of the episode. A wax cylinder that melts due to heat, fascinating. Thank you.

2024-10-10 17:23:23 +0000 UTCif Dave Matthews Band played during the movie, they could do a Mouse Trap death where the band dumps shit all over a boat full of people

2024-10-10 12:09:22 +0000 UTCI love the first one loved the intro to the second one, but it seemed as though each time there was a new final destination movie it got worse and worse and worse. And this definitely was the worst.

2024-10-09 18:57:40 +0000 UTCThe actor was George *Sanders*, but I 100% made the same mistake and assumed you were making a joke about Shere Khan's suicide. lol whoops. (Lincoln in the Bardo rules, btw, esp. the audiobook.) Have you guys checked out the new screens just added to the Alamo Brooklyn? I took a quick peep when I saw Saturday Night, looks pretty good.

2024-10-09 17:50:15 +0000 UTCI thought of the James Byrd thing too, and I was just like...not in this movie, folks. Not in this franchise AT ALL.
Rose Esposito
2024-10-09 17:47:26 +0000 UTCI’m not sure if it’s intentional, but the racist’s death mimics the lynching murder of James Byrd who was beaten and dragged behind a truck by 3 bigots in 1998. The pool death mimics the actual death of a little girl here in Minnesota in 2008.

2024-10-09 12:09:33 +0000 UTCSomeone should make a movie about the lawyer filing all these class actions "No one thinks about suing the architect but that bridge didn't design itself" "The water bottle fitting perfectly under her brake like that? Clearly a defect that someone should be held responsible for and I think Dasani should answer for it. the car manufacturer too!" "That roller coaster didn't build itself. We're taking those carnies to task!"

2024-10-08 22:05:19 +0000 UTCGood God this really was The Lifetime Channel Presents: Final Destination One of the worst movies of all-time I would venture
JK
2024-10-08 22:05:00 +0000 UTCI appreciate you taking the high road on that joke. A smaller mind like my own would simply refer to it as Mountain Dew-Dew.

2024-10-08 20:48:42 +0000 UTCIf you drink Mountain Dew in the bathroom then it’s technically called a Mountain Loo

2024-10-08 20:44:50 +0000 UTCI must say, George Saunders reference on this week's episode, Magnetic Fields reference on last week's episode, early 20s me is loving this Spooktacular a lot.

2024-10-08 20:21:32 +0000 UTCNot for nothing, this is by far the highest grossing Final Destination film. Wait, no, that is for nothing.

2024-10-08 17:03:50 +0000 UTCI too once hid Mountain Dew all over my place until I read a Dewaholics Anonymous book that helped curbed my cravings.

2024-10-08 15:28:01 +0000 UTCI honestly don't remember a single kill in the movie and now I want to watch Love lies bleeding cuz it rules

2024-10-08 15:15:10 +0000 UTCWhen the Nazi guy calls Mykelti Williamson chocolate I busted out laughing. That seems too endearing to be a racial slur. He already dropped the N bomb. Calling him chocolate is so weird. It's like he's hitting on him! 😂🤣🤣

2024-10-08 15:13:06 +0000 UTCI thought this would be the worst movie I saw this year, then I rented Leprechaun 4.

2024-10-08 14:12:06 +0000 UTCWhat if it was a falling into a sewer situation? That's a common fear people have. There could be a literal disgusting shit-boy involved. Whole movie will be in night vision, of course

2024-10-08 13:45:53 +0000 UTCThe bit about the guy working at the box office hit me like a ton of bricks. I can still hear every 10th person asking for a ticket to "see Saw!" and looking at me like they just made the funniest joke anyone has ever said. Its been 20 years. Let me rest Jigsaw!

2024-10-08 11:47:13 +0000 UTCMaybe one of the producers went to Ohio State.
Mark Ibarra
2024-10-08 11:45:18 +0000 UTCAs an Ohioan, thank you for the Indiana hate. Edit: As an Ohioan, I can assure you that Chevelle has fans somehow. Also I was terrified of the doctor for years and the dentist too (a little younger than the boys but close enough in age to have probably been at the Levee simultaneously) and I finally went this past summer, everything is fine, my teeth haven't been this healthy in years.

2024-10-08 11:32:15 +0000 UTCMan, you better believe I own the Blu-ray which came with the red/blue 3D glasses so you can watch it in 3D. And I think it's pretty funny that the series followed Steve's legislation until this one... only to go right back to numbering their sequels with the 5th one, lol. Thanks for the inconsistent titles, New Line.
Busiris
2024-10-08 07:16:57 +0000 UTCWorst movie in the whole series. My stoned ass loved the twist of the 5th movie, but this fourth one is pretty rancid, and it has the most computer lookin kills.
