i really liked this movie too!! i felt like it was the perfect amount of shyamalan goofiness, and leaned into it the best of all of his movies. the convenient plot holes made sense to me and josh hartnett did a fantastic dexter-esque characterization of a psychopath. loved your takes and you guys keep it interesting! just subscribed and i am excited to check out your other stuff!
I enjoyed the first 2 acts despite the writing conveniences. The 3rd act is where it became a bit much and completely unbelievable. It started strong though
We really enjoyed it but we totally understand!! Some of the dialogue is off kilter and as for Josh Hartnett I really liked that performance, but it’s a very specific kind of weird for sure!
I feel like if you weren't sort of on board from the first minute then it's disappointing, but if you were then it was pretty great. Feel free to disagree that's just what I think.
No twist. Night TOLD us in interviews this is a different kind of film unlike anything he’s done before. Those aren’t plot conveniences, they are hyperbolic improbabilities! Every obstacle put in his path he slides over effortlessly. That’s absurd! Cooper is so clever, so creative, we are rooting for him. How over the top is that, rooting for a guy who slices and dices people up?! I also think Night did a great tongue in cheek nod to Hitchcock. But doing more of a spoof of the serial killer thriller genre. Night and Hartnett say they had so much fun making it with some scenes just hilarious to them. Night also said he likes his audience to THINK as they watch, he will never underestimate them. Hubs and I saw it twice we liked it so much! Once we caught on to the preposterous concept, we sat back and enjoyed the fun. Hartnett just killed that role! Punny that 😄 Playing serial psychopath and doting daddy both straight serious and deadpan comic is a tightrope he walked beautifully. (You’re too young to know that when studios created a heartthrob persona for him or superhero type when he was 19-23 he walked away, out of the spotlight and into making small independent films many of which are terrific. Watch Lucky Number Slevin and Bunraku. Directors realized his versatility then. At the height of his fame he had paparazzi on his lawn, fan girls chasing him down the street, his face on every movie magazine. He surfaced again 2014-2016 to do Penny Dreadful. You didn’t see that?!) Anyway, back to the movie, the scene where Cooper and Rachel give us the reveal is just such great acting. Intimate, kind of poignant, and then Here, let’s have a piece of pie before you kill me. He lays the cleaver down, takes off his shirt and digs into the pie.😂 I agree something better is needed to transition from arena to house. Saleka is a very good singer but she can not act. Tsk tsk Daddy. She broke down the tone of the movie and it only picked up when she left. Can I say something guys? You needed to edit this. The silly back and forth in-joke parts are reallllly annoying. Are you going to review a movie or play verbal patty-cake? And the guy in the black shirt, sorry, is pretty inarticulate in expressing himself. I like the part where you talk about the technicals of filming. I hadn’t appreciated the camera angles before. We get to stream it later and I’ll be checking out that virtuosity. I’m soooo glad to watch a review where the reviewers “got it.” So many of the others failed to see the parody, the sense of humor woven into an in depth character study.I love both Hartnett and M Knight and hope they do something again down the line.
Hey guys, wishing you all the best in your future with this podcast, but I'm two minutes and a half into watching my first video with you, and I'm already clicking out. An audience doesn't want to hear you explain what your podcast is. By virtue of clicking on the video, we're ready to hear a review. Cutting straight to talking about a twist and someone's OCD without recapping the film is also crazy.
I wrote that, too. I think they needed to edit out all that silly giggling laughing, bantering off-topic stuff. I too found it verrrry annoying. I just kept with it though because white shirt seemed to know the sense of humor in the film where others don’t and made some astute observations. I’d liked to have had him do a straight review without a partner. Then he could go out with black shirt, have a beer, and play what I call verbal pattycake together.

We really enjoyed it but we totally understand!! Some of the dialogue is off kilter and as for Josh Hartnett I really liked that performance, but it’s a very specific kind of weird for sure!

Why's the video cropped different?

I don't think I've ever been attracted to two movie reviews so much
It was soooooo bad
