Summary

Since we're in the middle of "Vacation Month," we're taking a vacation! Enjoy this Patreon-exclusive (well, not anymore) episode that we recorded back in February for our loyal Patrons. Congrats, all you non-Patrons. Here's a taste of what life is like on the wild side. Prep your boring, inane (sex?) fantasies, because we are en route to Blumhouse's Fantasy Island. This is the second Blumhouse production in as many months to feature pretty people battling villains with black goo coming out of their eyes; it's also the second feature in a row from writer/director Jeff Wadlow to feature a gay asian character, so someone's got a fetish. Up for discussion: Trace thinks this film is entertaining and stupid, while Joe thinks it is lazy and boring. We both agree, however, that the twist makes NO SENSE. Of course neither does the island's geography, or the number of characters, or its resolution.  Oh, and there's the fun implications of suggesting being bullied turns you into a stalker/killer. Thankfully we have goddesses Maggie Q and Lucy Hale (plus everyone's favorite lovable asshole, Ryan Hansen) to keep us entertained as we wade through this nearly 2-hour train wreck.  Questions? Comments? Snark?

Bring Home Smile 2 on Digital Now. In this terrifying thriller, an unknown force has latched on to global pop star Sky Riley as reality and her nightmares collide. By the film critics are calling the scariest movie of the year by a mile and get over 40 minutes of bone-chilling extras, including deleted scenes and more.

0:30.1

This is the bloody disgusting podcast network.

0:39.0

Hey, everybody.

0:40.8

As you may have noticed, this seems like a repeat episode.

0:45.2

So those of you who have been Patreon subscribers will have already listened to this

0:50.0

week's episode on Blumhouse's Fantasy Island.

0:53.8

Bum bum, bum.

0:56.5

Now, of course, lest you think we're given a double dip, this is very similar to our episode

1:01.9

on the perfection.

1:03.4

So, patrons, you'll notice that there's a little gift waiting for you.

1:07.3

Which is in the form of an audio commentary on Rennie Harland's Deep Blue C to pair with

1:13.8

our full-length episode on Deep Blue C-3. Now, Trace, I don't know if you remember recording

1:18.6

this episode. I had to go back and listen to it because I remembered nothing, except for the

1:23.5

fact that I was super fucking mad at this movie. Yeah, no, so I actually wasn't going to re-listen to it until you said you were.

1:30.6

And I was like, fuck, I guess I got to be prepared for this little intro we're doing.

1:33.3

I'm glad I re-listen to it.

1:34.9

I will say, everyone, if you take a drink every time I or Joe say, here's the thing,

1:41.6

you'll be dead by the end of the episode.

1:48.4

Much in the way that we talked about if you did a drinking game every time the characters in the movie said the word fantasy, you would also be dead.

1:53.0

But yeah, basically, this is kind of, this episode would have come out kind of around the time

1:57.8

we were in the midst of a bunch of film festivals, and it was kind of quote unquote break for this season and we just thought we'd keep that going this year
