Hello everyone! The clip you're about to hear is from one of our exclusive Patreon episodes on a recent horror release, and just like all of our other episodes, it might include major spoilers for said horror release, so don't listen to it if you haven't already seen it. You've officially been warned. And if you'd like to hear the full episode, just head on over to patreon.com/horakwiers and subscribe today. Without further ado, here is your exclusive Patreon clip. You know, we program this because we knew it was going to be a big title. We were trepidacious, maybe a little cautiously optimistic going in, principally because it's got fucking Lupita in it, so I thought she doesn't make bad movies. So I had some trust in her, but this is not a series that I rewatch at all. Like, I don't think I've ever gone back and rewatched a quiet place or a quiet place, too. Yeah, I might have rewatched the first one before a quiet place, too. I probably say so in our episode on whether I did or not, but I- You didn't even go back and listen to that. No, I'm not gonna do that. Here's the thing though. So like, and again, I do think this is my favorite one of the trilogy, so yes, I'm recommending this. Yes, I will remember this. But at the same time, I think I- I'm waffling between a three and a half and a four, which sounds like faint praise for me. I just says my favorite in a trilogy, but I think all of these movies, none of them are bad. I think they all really good, solid, mainstream horror entertainment. Oh, she put an extra word in there, and now I need you to explain it. Just because I feel like, again, this movie made a lot of money. I mean, they had the highest opening weekend of all three films in the trilogy with 53 million dollars. I think that this is a horror franchise, and it is horror that brings in non-horror fans, and I really like that. I respect the movie for that, and I don't know what it is because I don't even necessarily think it's like a tame movie. I mean, yes, it's PG-13 horror, so we're not doing a lot of gore stuff, but these are still monster movie, creature feature, alien invasion things. So I'm happy that it's bringing these people. But to me, yeah, I mean, I don't think there's anything like groundbreaking, I guess I want to say about them, but they're all very solid entries into the genre. Yeah, I would definitely agree with that claim, solid, is kind of the word that comes to mind for me. There hasn't been a bad one. I wouldn't say that any of these are my favorites, and yet you're right. You know, if a new one comes out, I'm thinking, okay, well, it's probably going to be good. So I will set my ass in a theater and go out and check out the sand design because that for me is the big selling feature of these films is that we are firmly entrenched in a theatrical, you know, mode where people come out and they sit their ass in a theater and they shut their fucking mouse because the movie more or less encourages us to stay off of our phones, to remain engaged, to be, I guess, sensorally alert to what is going on on screen.
