| 0:03.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:08.0 | Hello and welcome to Colors of the Dark. |
| 0:26.4 | I'm your co-host Rebecca McKendry. |
| 0:28.4 | And now with all new internet, actually both of us got all new internet, but especially |
| 0:32.6 | Elric Kane, who also got a new fucking computer. |
| 0:35.7 | Yeah, a new old computer. |
| 0:36.9 | It was old. |
| 0:37.6 | It existed for a year before I opened it and then I opened it. I wait to the wheel. You opened it. Like I only got a new car when my car was totaled, right? Seems! I got a new car this week. I'll say new to me. Oh, because your car had a computer malfunction? A totally meltdown. no it was awful in the middle of the five. And then I was sitting on the edge of the five. And then they towed it to a shop. And they were like, nope, sorry, the car is done. And I was like, fuck. Could have been worse. When your car broke down, it could have been flooded. And there could have been sharks. Yeah. So that could have been worse. That's called the segue. That is, that is a brilliant segue. A brilliant segue. A brilliant segue. Okay. So let's just go ahead and jump in to thrash. Okay. I thought of you when I heard about what this movie was. I know. This movie is everything I needed in the world. And I got to tell you, I'm just going to say this up front. I do not know what everybody is so angry about. Like, well, and I'll say it depends on which site you're on. Like if you're on like Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB, you know, it's mid-range reviews. If you go to letterbox, it has like a 1.6 now. And I'm like, I don't know what's wrong with y'all. It wasn't perfect. I have fun. I don't use those. Like I know sometimes with sometimes with really old like deep cut type titles, I might look at that and take their numbers seriously as a judgment. But I don't otherwise anymore because with new films, there's always weird things attached to how |
| 2:01.1 | it was seen, how it was rated. Like, an old film means that people like us rated it because they |
| 2:05.6 | want, if some obscure Japanese movie, it's going to be someone I kind of trust that they watch it. |
| 2:09.6 | But with new movies, everyone, I don't trust anyone. Right. No. And so I'll get to some of those |
| 2:15.6 | in a sec that I'm kind of like, is this like honest? |
| 2:19.2 | But yeah, I don't trust a lot of letterbox because I find a lot of it to be a little film nerdy, which I love. |
| 2:26.8 | I love letterbox. |
| 2:28.0 | But yeah, it's, you definitely know the crowd that you're getting there. |
| 2:31.3 | That said, you know, across the board, thrash has not gotten |
| 2:35.0 | amazing reviews, you know, with reason. It's not exactly the greatest movie you're ever going |
| 2:40.4 | to see. But I had a really good time with it. Elric said that the premise, like, immediately was |
| 2:44.9 | like something I would love. It is about a small town in, I think it was South Carolina. |
| 2:50.2 | It was one of the Carolinas where they're about to get a hurricane. |
| 2:54.2 | And it's basically about people who can't leave. |
