I'm I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez, joined as always by my co-host, my husband, and my brother.

Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez. Hi, I'm Travis Hunter. This week, we're recording live from the Cahiki Palms Motel discussing the 2005 horror

crime film, The Devil's Rejects.

This film was written and directed by Rob Zombie.

Serving as a sequel to Rob Zombie's debut film, House of a Thousand Corpses, The Devil's

Rejects gives us another chapter

in the saga of the Firefly family. Embracing his hatred of sequels, Rob Zombie set out to

make an entirely different film that could surpass the original. With the familiar characters

and a new cast complete with classic horror icons, the Devil's Reject sets itself apart.

So, what did you guys think about the Dev's rejects the first time you saw it? It was about 20, 21 when I watched this the first time. When it came out? When it came out? Yeah, and I did not care for it. I just, I don't know, man. It didn't do anything for me. And then watching it for the show,

it still kind of didn't do it. Do anything for me. But you didn't like House of a Thousand Corpses either. I didn't, but after watching this, I do a little more. Really? That is something just

very quickly that we talked about before we sat down, that watching this film again. Right. Because none of us had seen it in a very long time. We all wanted to retroactively change our House of Thousand Corpses score. Yeah. I think that's fair. And what's weird to me is because always growing up, well, no, because we loved both of them as kids. Yeah, yeah. But I think later on, whenever we talked about them, we were like, well, House of a Thousand Corpses is kind of the weird one that's like, okay. And the Devil's Rejects is a really good film. Yeah. But then after watching it again, I feel like I appreciated House of a Thousand Corpses more. And I was surprised. So what would you all give it now? I took a peek before we sat down and T and I gave it a 5.5 and you, John Paul, gave it a three. Oh, I give it a four. All right. Yeah, we'll give it one more. He's not going crazy here. What about you, T? I said just a little more.

I think I would move from a 5.5, honestly, legitimately, because I rewatched it last night as well.

And there is a weird, chaotic energy to it.

Yeah.

But there is like kind of the style of it is interesting.

Right.

And it's most of all, and we'll get to this in a bit, House of a Thousand Corpses is fun. Right, right. Yeah. And this movie's not enough. Not so much. No. So I think I'm going to move from a 5.5 to a 6.5. All right. I agree 100%. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to go. So we all just went up a point. Yeah. No, that's fine. So, all right. But T, what did you think? All right. So, I mean, as I said before,

I did have more of an appreciation for House of a Thousand Courses after watching this.

That's not to say that I hated this film. Yeah. I actually enjoyed quite a bit of this film. And then there was a lot of it that just flat out didn't work for me. Yeah. But I think that having watched it, what? Okay, so 2005, I'm 14, you're 15 or 16. Yeah. We're, this is like perfect for us.

Right, right.

Right up our alley.
