Home Show Ready Or Not

3. Greetings, Empire member and or members. If you're hearing the sound of my voice, you are part of a very special group of people.

Because you at least once have checked out the Clubhouse podcast in your life live every Sunday night, seven Eastern, four Pacific from the all new vocal studios in North Dallas. Your one-stop shop for all things pop culture. Welcome.

Because it's time for another home show. Number 480 for those of you playing the home game. Welcome.

My name is Rob. I am the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast. And when I used to play hide and seek, nobody would look for me.

But that's okay. Joining me across the desk is the official fact checker of sooner or greater productions. And a man who hides from the world because sometimes he needs to.

You may know as Igboonu, but his mom and name I'm Don Ford. I'm gonna call him Don Ford. Sometimes you just gotta take a break.

Yeah. You know. Yeah, it just happens.

And it's the same thing with hide and seek with me. Yeah, they would go hide. We'll look for you.

Whatever we do one of these, it is to review something and this is no exception. New guys to the scene, but guys that have known each other for a long time. Matt Betnelli, open and Tyler Gillett, direct, ready or not.

Before we start this whole thing. Cut it, English one. Yeah, try it.

I think Jason and their band The Rock for the invite. That would be Murock. That's a big name.

Murock. Don's just, he's a little confused today. Yeah, just, we're starting off.

We're getting warmed up. We love our vendors. They let us see movies and stuff early so we can talk to you guys about them so you can spend your.

Entertainment Dollar wisely. Let's get into it. So this is the story of Grace played by Samara Weaving.

Uh-huh. It's her wedding day. Mazeltoff.

She is Mary, absolutely. She is marrying Alex Ledomas, played by Mark O'Brien. The Ledomas family has made their fortune in board games.

They have a very, very beautiful mansion, multiple generations. The start is with board games with any expanded to other thing. Right.

And franchise teolia. They're doing a, they do very well. Yeah.

But they have this tradition when someone new joins the family. The family gets together in this very special room in the house. And there's a magical box.

And a blank card goes in the magical box. And it spits out a card with a game on it. And at midnight, the family gathers to play this game.

And that's it. It's not really yet. It could be a random game.

It could be checkers. Could be a maid. Checkers?

You don't know. Yeah. So there's only one card you don't want.

Yeah. And of course, being this movie, Grace draws Heidenseek. Uh-oh.

Which is great. Because it's a great game. But there's one small problem.

Is that Heidenseek involves the rest of the family hunting her with weapons. She has to make it to sunrise. That's the point of the game.

And so much more. Yeah. Also in this film, Adam Brody plays Alex's brother Daniel.

You've got Henry Cezerni. Now, if you don't know that name, I want you to go back to the original mission impossible film with Tom Cruise. And I want you to think of this particular line.

Kitchwich, you've never seen me very upset. The guy he's talking to is Henry Cezerni. Okay.

Also, Andy McDowell is in this as well. Groundhog Day. Mm-hmm.

There's so many things. Multiplicity. I'm from Texas.

Why do you know that? Mm-hmm. This runs about an hour 35.

And you're probably thinking yourself, wait a minute Rob. This is a horror movie. What are you doing?

And I had that question. I did. Let me answer that question for you.

Okay. When I saw the trailer for this, it harkened me back to a 2013 film called Your Next. This is, to me, this is not a horror film.

It's suspenseful. It's a thriller. But it's not a horror film in the purest sense.

So I was like, okay, I think I may be able to handle this. I think we can do this. I've really enjoyed this movie.

I had a lot of fun with this. So did I. Well, you did a couple of things in there.

Because you and I actually were sitting next to each other in this one. And there were moments where you looked at me and you made the little sound effect that you made last week on the show. Yeah.

The eyes and eyes and eyes and eyes. Lost words. And I get it.

Yeah. But it's so hard to talk about this movie because you don't want to spoil anything. It takes a weird turn in the third act, yeah, but it was there's only one time where I had to close my eyes Really, because it got a little bit much for me.

Okay, you'll tell me off there The fence Okay, you okay Because the rest of it was just just a lot like your next it was There was almost a comedic element To the violence Not not in a cartoony kind of way, but more of an oh, that's gonna leave a mark Yeah, kind of away and so this so that's why it's easier for me to deal with When you're looking at horror films that are about slasher's and stalkers and People like keep open their eyes and you're they're looking right at you and they have that part of it I'm out but when the music in the background that tries to make it scary and get your heart rough and yeah When there's a little bit of a tongue in cheek value to it like there is here I'm okay with it and this film does that very well the thing. I love about it is If you go to my written review at www dot the clubhouse podcast.com. That's our website I really like the fact that it's kind of in a way a dark comedy and I will give you that there is some scenes Miner spoiler Sorry, I gotta find it Okay, three two one Somebody dies in this film.

Wait a minute hold on walk me through this Okay, so by the start you know what you mean you go all the way through that for that? No People die In these maeloms died, but when they died they did it in a way that was sometimes in a way come the quiet There was a little bit of a comedy value The manner or the situation of the person dying or how they died and all that stuff or the after and even where it comes back Some of it comes back later too. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, and then point where like We're at this press screening. That was pretty full at the Angelica, which we love There's a lot of times. What do you mean pretty full?

They were turning a ton of people away. It was it was packed and how Even critics and stuff were laughing when somebody gets killed That's the man in a movie like this you're supposed to yes, and that's what I love the magic about it Where they could make a dark situation and make a comical where you laugh But if it happened in real life you'd be going oh lord. I mean, I thought this was paced really well Yeah 90 minutes good pacing not too long not too short.

It didn't drag. It's a constant go go go go go go In a thing another put a thing I put in my review is that they're Yes, it's a horror film, but there wasn't that bad of a suspension of disbelief in it No, it kept it on the rails. I mean, there's a couple of things you like that might take a little bit of time to do but overall For this type of film, especially disc leave was was incredible.

There's no animals dropped on anyone or a fan No, I just thought this film was a lot of fun. Oh, so did I I had a good time with it There's there when we see some scary films mean the fantastic faithful you yeah, no, there's no we in that Talk about me in my the my great wife the fantastic faith. You're lovely wife.

Yeah, so sometimes when there's a film when one of those scenes is kind of scary Or they should kind of grab me by the leg and put her my the arm and then she'll put her head against my shoulder and start kind of laughing or Gripping me and she did a couple times at the funny parts. So she cut even laughed So she enjoyed it, which kind of make me happy about the whole thing, but Now of course, I don't see any acting nominations next year. I don't think that was the intent here So now, but I will give it out there are a couple of rules, which I really enjoyed I think there's a couple so like Melanie Scrofano who plays Emily that was one of the mentioned.

Yeah, how she has a little nasal issue Look at yeah, didn't how Christian Braun with the other one you mentioned a brun. I'm sorry. Yeah, the the gentleman who's like wanting to learn how to use a crossbow And we're looking on YouTube and not going you after the mission He's like, I just want to figure out how to do this.

He's just here kind of for the ride and did it in a comical way But Scrofano, I loved her and she had to learn how to use a weapon safely. That's the best way I could say on that Oh, absolutely And lastly, I think Rostin did pretty decent too As the kind of butler man John Ralston. Yeah, I don't play Stevens But the kind of turning effect was Brody too.

I think he did get on his acting and they played that guy who's kind of Adam Brody played Alex's brother Daniel. Yeah, kind of in that middle situation. You could say but The thing and this is going to be totally spoiler free, but I loved the end the last couple minutes the You could say the big finale I thought the ending how they ended the situation and answered the question was Yeah, I guess it takes a weird turn in the third out.

So get ready for that. See that comment But it's like okay, and again laughter with you know bad events happening is the best way to see this just now granted It's rated R Yes, and I think it's more rated R for the language than it is anything else. Well, no the violence Well, there's a little bit, but a lot of it's comic violence, but a lot I mean you hit the rated R for for language within the first two minutes Well, I'm not doing the wedding thing though as she's preparing absolute That's right.

You're right on that But the thing how like for instance where the after effect with the Uh-huh. I yep. Yep.

Yep. Yep. Yep.

Yep. Yep. Yep.

One of the first kills. Yeah, I can say that And that was comical but still of course. Yeah This is one I don't think you'd want to show at the church overnight for the teens.

Oh, yeah, okay I mean you've done the research. I'll I'll defer to you. This is one I would not recommend to my pastor for the team that a church But this it's still a lot of and this is the kind of film don't go by yourself bring a group of people and have fun with it and because that we you can experience this together Which I guess is going to lead us to the final analysis and the way we do the final analysis on this show We're not going to give you a thumbs up thumbs down We're not going to give you a letter grades numbers cross-bow shots anything like that Up to two questions question number one is would we see this film again if the answers know that we're done here But if the answer is yes, the follow-up question becomes how far are we willing to go to do so from the best of the best of the worst of the best here are the rankings Full price to the theater Down to a toilet show don't do a matinee down to early morning on a week in Down the second one of the dollar theater down to actually physically purchasing it down Distreaming it down to cable don't would you see ready or not again?

Oh definite How far you want to go to do it? I'm gonna recommend this as a afternoon or twilight have fun with it take the You know, I can't give the cover I had a lot of fun with it, but you have to be the right genre don't go in for a you know Taking the little kids for a little thing. No, I agree.

I would definitely see this again I'm I'm I might go a little twilight I might go a little step above you, but make sure you go with a big group of people so you can all experience this together because this movie is a lot of fun Samarrow weaving does a great job leading this cast in Matt Betnelly open and Tyler Gillett's ready or not okay for this whole thing.
