| 0:00.0 | What do you think? I think we're dead meat. Real dead meat. |
| 0:07.0 | You dead meat! |
| 0:12.0 | Go ahead and laugh you ass. Find the final good bosses and get some dead meat. |
| 0:17.0 | Welcome to the Dead Me Podcast, the extension of the YouTube channel Dead Me. I'm James. |
| 0:21.0 | I'm Chelsea and we're a boyfriend and girlfriend and we like to get scared together. |
| 0:25.0 | Today I have a game that we're going to play that was actually inspired by an email I got from Christian Glossner. |
| 0:33.0 | He gave me the idea to do a little game where you have to guess the horror movies based on the reviews it got when it came out. |
| 0:41.0 | So, famously a lot of horror movies like The Shining I think is one a lot of people think of as a movie that is a classic now but got kind of shitty reviews when it first came out. |

| 1:38.0 | I go to film school. |
| 1:40.0 | We learned about film criticism as an art into of itself and I've come to really appreciate Roger Evert but yeah it's a complicated relationship. |
| 1:48.0 | Yeah, so if you ask a lot of horror fans about Roger Evert they many or most would say all that guy hates horror and this image of him hating horror probably has origins with a specific episode of at the movies hosted by Siskel and Ebert. |
| 2:03.0 | If you are really young or don't know about Siskel and Ebert they had a show where they would review new releases. |
| 2:10.0 | Yeah, so it was Siskel and Ebert and then Siskel died and then he became Ebert and Roper. |
