Lots of great foreshadowing in this movie:
Wayne saying “peoples eyes will pop out their heads when they see this” and then gets his eyes pulled out with a pitchfork.
Bobby Lynn is first seen walking out of a building showing a blonde woman having her swimwear ripped off by an alligator
Jackson mentioning how farmers pointed their guns at him back in Vietnam
Howard mentioning his weak heart several times.
There’s a shot of the van’s tires running though the cow guts at the start that looks near identical to a shot of the van tires running over Pearl’s head when Maxine kills her.
Wayne saying to have success with women theres 2 rules: don't take your eyes off a beautiful woman, and never mention her weight. Howard makes the comment "She's heavier than she looks" when dragging Lorraine and that's when she startles him and he has the heart attack. Plus they say to Jenna Ortega’s character “you don’t want to give the old man a heart attack, do you?” and her skull spitting out blood towards him is what ultimately does give him one

We haven’t but this could be a lot of fun! Maybe a live?

I guess Jenna Ortega was just... stuck in the middle.

I'm not a fan of most slasher films but I really like this one. Ti West seems to have a knack for making films that feel like they were made in the time period they occur.
The provocative themes create a sense of discomfort that enhance the tension.
Pearl is a must watch. Mia Goth's performance in that film is incredible.
All I can say in closing is ... "spunk?".

Off topic question but have y'all ever done a ranking (maybe into tiers) of all the shows and movies you've watched on the channel? If not, would you consider doing it in the future? I would love to know which movies/shows you've enjoyed the most, which were the funniest or scariest, or which characters you liked the most, which villains were the best, etc.

Well, it is what it is. But a great thing about you guys is that, unlike other channels, you watch horror throughout the year, not just in October.

Thought for a second you said you had to go back to listen to it, because you like steak. jk

Good to know! Our spooky season got a little thrown off by all of our copyright issues so I’m not sure how many films outside of the polls we’ll be able to do! Still working on shift around the schedule!

Can't say I understand the popularity of this movie. Thought it was just ok the first time I watched it. This will be the second time. Maybe I'll catch something I missed the first time around.

Definitely watch Pearl as well. Maxxxine is meh, I don't feel one way or the other.
Not sure if you got other horror movies besides the ones from the polls but I'd love to see you react to 'The Omen' (1976). It's one of the few classics that you haven't got to. The prequel that came out this year, 'The First Omen' is also very good.

Karen Gillan actually is in the film but just as a voice on the radio (the woman selling steaks). She had worked with Ti West on one of his earlier films and did the vocal cameo as a favor.

The general consensus is that this one's good, Pearl is great, and Maxxxine is neither. I mostly agree with that, except I thought Maxxxine was as good as X but in different ways.
