0:00.0	I'm I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez, joined as always by my co-host, my husband, and my brother.
0:34.2	Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez. Hi, I'm Travis Hunter. This week, we're recording live from the Palmary apartment building discussing the 2014
0:41.4	supernatural horror film, Annabelle.
0:43.9	Annabelle was directed by John Leonetti and written by Gary Doberman.
0:47.7	It serves as the first spinoff in the Conjuring franchise, expanding on the insidious
0:51.7	doll that was featured in the first film.
0:53.7	Despite mixed reviews, the film was a monetary success, paving the way for further films in the Conjuring universe.
0:59.7	This film in the Conjuring movies as a whole was recommended to us by friends of the show, Kent and Allison.
1:05.5	They've always been super supportive and we truly appreciate it.
1:08.4	Follow their awesome dog on Instagram at super underscore mutant underscore alien underscore baby.

You know, because it's not really a matter of hating this film, because I don't hate this film. Right. It's just that I think what I expected from it, I didn't really get. And part of that might be because James Wan didn't direct it. I remember reading that at the time, what we thought was that James Juan was retired from horror. Like, that was it. Oh, wow. And that's what I recall, the reason why he didn't direct Annabelle. And so when he came back to direct The Conjuring 2, everybody lost their shit because
2:18.0	they're like, okay, sweet.
2:19.9	He was like, surprise, bitch.
2:21.6	Yeah.
2:22.5	And the thing that surprises me is that John Leonetti is very competent.
2:26.6	He made, he was the DP for the majority of James Juan's films.
2:32.1	He was the DP on Child's Play 3,
