been seeing so much discourse online about this Skinamarink flick, super glad you guys touched on it. While I don't plan on seeing it myself, I just admire the fact that such a strange movie like it could even get a wide release in theaters.
Skinnamarink has made over 1.5 mil on a budget of 15 grand. Its absolutely experimental and I don't think he expected it to go viral in the way that it did. Im interested to see what he makes next with a bigger budget
I was there live for one of the many times Rocco ranted on stage about the BS Wells Fargo pulled yet he happily accepts Wells Fargo gifts. I see how it is, Rocco.
I watched Skinamarink back in the end of november when I first heard about it. I had to search around the internet, until I got to some shady streaming site I had never heard of before, and watched the whole thing. My first thought was... I know how I could have made this like an hour shorter. But my next thoughts were that I really liked the way it built the atmosphere. It's incredibly inaccessible and I'm surprised it's gotten any sort of release at all, I thought it would just fizzle out and disappear because who would pick this up? I don't disagree with any negative opinions on it, but overall I'd say I enjoyed it for what it was. I've never had the experience in a movie that reminded me of being a kid and looking down a dark hallway, imagining what was hiding in the dark, just beyond the spot where my eyes can't see any further. That's what I enjoyed about it.
I'm just confused why it's something that has to sneakily be mumbled into the mic at the last second of a broadcast? If it's something you believe in why not be out-front about it idk
I respect Skinamarink more than I enjoy it, I think. I think it's cool that something this surreal and non linear got a theatrical release, and it has a big cult following. On the other hand, it was PROFOUNDLY boring.
I saw skinamarink in theaters on opening weekend and the critic who introduced the movie said “no movie ever asks you to commit more to be invested” and it’s true. I understand derricks critique but personally it’s the scariest movie I’ve ever seen and it’s not even close and I’ve seen hundreds. I let myself be completely immersed in the execution and I was shaking by the end. Also the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was saying don’t see it in theaters. PLEASE go see this in theaters, especially coming from people in the film making community, support weird little art films like this so more get an opportunity to be released.
I think the movie needs to be more critiqued and criticized by critics. I respect that a movie made on 15k budget was playing at the AMC but there’s a reason why so many people are walking out on it and people are falling asleep. It’s boring and pretentious. People pay $100 of hard earned money to Uber to the movies and this movie will be a waste of a lot of most peoples money. Maybe I’m just not a fan of analog horror and think it’s boring as hell.
The premise of your doors and windows being inaccessible sounds frightening. There's another great British indie sci-fi that did something similar, Await Further Instructions.
This Bill Gates book is the exact sort of thing I would have absolutely lost it over as a kid. I had a CD-ROM called Microshaft Winblows 98 that was basically an entire spoof operating system. Worked better than the real thing too.
Is it just A24 horror that Derrick and Kevin don't like? I'm not into horror but most A24 films I've seen I enjoyed. Most of which are speculative fiction / sci-fi though E.g. Swiss Army Man, Enemy, Under the Skin, Ex Machina, the Lobster: all great watches. Dramas like the mid90s, Florida Project and Ladybird I enjoyed quite a bit too.
A lot of A24 movies get lots of hype built up about them, then the movie ends up just being ok, which I think ends up rubbing people the wrong way. The only A24 movie I've truly loved was After Yang. It's a weepy, melancholy sci-fi story, and I'll be damned if I didn't cry.
@@nothere413 oh yeah they get hyped a lot. Which I find bizarre because they're a distribution company primarily, aren't they? Or at least they used to be. Maybe they're more of a production company now. I think the only one I've truly loved out of that above list is Ex Machina. Maybe the Lobster too. I'll have to check out After Yang though. Thanks for the rec.
I just want to add a few rarely mentioned gems to the A24 list, but also feel like you should go into every movie blind because they kinda spoil the experience, so I will give them super vague descriptions so you enjoy them more: Lamb a couple in iceland, who miscarried, finds that their sheep gave birth to a mysterious... unique baby lamb, and the mother takes her in, as her own child. It's a very unique combination of drama, and wholesomeness, with horror? A very beautifully shot film. Though It does have an abrupt ending that went over at least my head, till my friend pointed out the first scene, and then It made total sense, and then I loved it. Hideo Kojima was sent a prop of the baby lamb, which he posted online so he liked it. Also includes a scene where the lead actress actually birthed a real lamb! Watch this! Climax: a super troupe made of the best street dancers in France, go to a meet before a US Tour, in an isolated snowed in community center. They have an insane one take opening dance sequence, that had my audience cheering by the end of it. Anyways, they unwind with homemade sangria, and as they mingle and gossip about each other, everyone starts feeling weird, like they're on LSD... and beautiful chaos ensues. GREAT soundtrack. Directed by Gasper Noe, so lots of long shots, and impossible angled camera work, and psychological horror. Considering the Director of Irreversible made it, it's actually not *super* violent, and not *super* dark. Funny at times, and totally feels like you're experiencing a bad acid trip in the best way possible, without any over the top surreal special effects, just insane camera work, drama and great acting. It's like a dance movie got dosed into a psychological thriller. They're both foreign films, so expect subtitles, but if you're into foreign films that are different, these 2 are great.
I can't imagine going to the movies with my friend and all of a sudden he gets up and leaves me. Like, doesn't ask if I want to leave, just ditches me to finish the movie alone lol. Bizarre.
I know derrick thinks he's dunking on skinamarink but his wildly emotional reaction to it is just another reason it has legend status already and has made more money than anything they've ever made while being undeniably effective
@@killerdls He didn't say bored he said he was feeling misery. Thats the point. its domestic horror. He can not like a movie but its not a bug its a feature.
@@TenaciousP45 I loved Hereditary and I like most a24 stuff tbh so I agree with you I thought you were talking about Skinamarink. I also like Michael Haneke, Lars von Trier, Ari Aster, ect but some people do not enjoy them cause they are too bleak and depressing which is their opinion
realy enjoyed having hamburgerguy on this episode
Hamdurgerguy?
This Hbomberr fella offering 500$ to eat the card is baller as fuck.
Literally spit out toothpaste laughing when he said that 😂
@Katie Lowen why you eating toothpaste?
@@AndrewB170 I was offered $500😏

It was also filmed on a shoestring budget. Gotta respect that

Harry rocks. The excitement over that Pokemon card rocks. What a show. RIP Bill Gates.
This is not a podcast I frequent (I’m here because of Hbomb), but the podcast vod itself and this have been incredibly entertaining
I’m a Skinamarink enjoyer
Legendary after show
Iconic ending

2022 was a good solid year for Horror.
Cant wait for the new chapter of the book read.
Paranormal Activity fan vs Skinamarink enjoyer

Oh God Parroty Interactive software. They also did a Myst spoof called "Pyst"
I loved Skinamarink lol
Hereditary was a solid movie, but I can see why it’s not every one’s cup of tea.
Derrick revealing that card like he's going for the full monty.
i haven't been keeping up but Harris got me watching this. anyway derrick watch barbarian if you haven't.
Derrick already saw it and talked about Barbarian in podcast 664 at the 44 minute mark. Sounded like he liked it!

Dramas like the mid90s, Florida Project and Ladybird I enjoyed quite a bit too.
Every movie derrick has ever recommended has been bad, so it's probably great

@@ealing456 No, you're right. They're just a distributor.
I just want to add a few rarely mentioned gems to the A24 list, but also feel like you should go into every movie blind because they kinda spoil the experience, so I will give them super vague descriptions so you enjoy them more:
Lamb
a couple in iceland, who miscarried, finds that their sheep gave birth to a mysterious... unique baby lamb, and the mother takes her in, as her own child.

I really agree with Derrick on the arthouse horror movie thing. Hereditary especially, it is 20% horror movie and 80% traumatic family tragedy.
Trans rights yo!
31:25 yo do a powerbomb fucking slaps!! Its from the team that did murder falcon and its really awesome!
I know derrick thinks he's dunking on skinamarink but his wildly emotional reaction to it is just another reason it has legend status already and has made more money than anything they've ever made while being undeniably effective
It was neither effective nor does it have legend status.
It was flavor of the month and already forgotten... it made like 2 million lol.
4:12 Bean shit
