 Welcome to the Adam Does Movies live show for Friday night. You know, I was actually running to get here in time because I was watching a little film with my wife and we still sadly have 45 minutes left of it. It's a movie I've seen before and this is gonna kind of tease into, it's really gonna segue perfectly into tonight's show which is about movie thrillers I recommend. We're getting close to October. Rocktober as I call it once in a while for fun. We got about 15 days roughly before October hits and we go into a scary movie season. But before that, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about thrillers. Thrillers, I actually enjoy quite a bit more than pretty much any other genre except for maybe a comedy and an action from time to time but thrillers are just so damn good. And I think it's only fair that September becomes the month of thrillers and when we can really celebrate them. So as I was saying, the movie I was watching leading into this and I'm gonna share it with you right now and I have to apologize to some people in the Adam Does Movies community because I was wrong. That movie is Prisoners. This film with Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Hugh Jackman. It's a story about a father, well, two fathers really who lose their daughters and they have to kind of take the lawn to their own hands. Really it's Hugh Jackman that does the majority of the law in own hand situation. Jake Gyllenhaal plays the investigator. This movie is freaking great. Again, I've only seen it once and I had a really sour taste in my mouth when the movie ended. It left me with a bad chip on my shoulder because it does have that subversion of expectations bullshit. And now as I've said, I still have 45 minutes to this movie, 35 if you take out credits and whatnot. So it still could disappoint like it did before but it would be a disservice for me not to still recommend this regardless of my own opinion and how it ends because it's so well put together. I just have to give it a shout out. Of course, the name of the game for every live stream are super chats. It's how we keep the show running really. The live streams I do twice a week, the podcast I do every Monday and now I'm starting to port some of these other ones. Some of these live videos are gonna be on podcast on Spotify and Apple. The movie reviews, the movie roasts almost all of that revenue at this point over half of the revenue every month comes from live stream super chats. So I really appreciate it. We had an amazing Tuesday night showing. I don't know what happened Tuesday night but people were just shot out of a cannon doing really great things. Let's talk about these. So today, I'm sorry, I'm jumping all over the place. Today's project, I am gonna be throwing out my favorite thrillers and I want you to super chat your favorite thriller suggestion if you have one, throw it out there. I'll put it up on the screen for people to see and if I've seen it, I'll comment. We'll have a talk about it. We'll share our feelings about it and then we'll move on with our day. Kyle Nelson right out of the gates has a 199 super chat. Let's put it up on the screen before I get into mine. Thriller, I hardly even know her, says Kyle. Beautiful, I love a good plan words. I love a good pun, Kyle. Welcome to the stream. Thank you. And with that, I say we jump into my list. This isn't in any order. I feel like I always have to say that for some reason. Like my pride is on the line if one is over the other but we're gonna start out. We're just gonna spend a little bit of time on each one, not a lot. We don't need to get crazy. This is called Funny Games. Funny Games, the movie came out in 2007. It's got Naomi Watts as the lead. You have Michael Pitt in this. You got Tim Roth. The quick overview of the movie is we have a nice little couple out on a little summer retreat up at their nice little getaway house and these two young douchebags break into the place, put them at gunpoint and say dance monkeys. They just torture this family. It's a wife, a husband, and I think a son maybe. I've only seen this once. It was a great flick for a one-time watch. I do actually wanna go back and watch it again this year because it's been sitting with me for over a decade now. And yeah, I mean, oh my God, almost. Yeah, we're going on 15 or so years. It's a very good movie. Definitely worth watching one time. If you've seen it, let me know. Put a comment in, something. And in Super Chat form, of course, we have to do Super Chats, that's the thing. Matt Sclaro, oh my God, I always say, Matt Sclaro, for $4.99, thank you, Matt. Matt, I feel like I can call you Matthew at this point. Matthew will say that primal fear he puts on the list. Man, I wonder if I have it on mine, Matt. Wouldn't that be wild if I also had that on my list? Let's go look. Let's see if it's on here. Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee. Well, look at that. It's on there. It's on my list, primal fear. I don't want to give away the game, so I'm not gonna show the whole list with you right now. We'll go over it at the end, but yes, primal fear is a great film directed by, oh, I don't know, Gregory Hoblitt? I don't know who that is. What has he done? What has he done for me lately? Well, it came out in 1996. You have Richard Gere, who I can't say I'm like a huge fan of. I don't know a lot of Richard Gere movies that really jump out, but Edward Norden really put it in the performance here. Richard plays his lawyer, his attorney, whatever you want to call it. He believes that Edward Norden's character is being wrongfully convicted because he's not himself. He's got multiple personality disorder, and it's all just gonna slowly unwind as the film goes on, and you don't know who to believe. Norden, again, just top form in this movie. Thank you, Matt, for bringing it up. I was gonna get to it, but I'm glad you jumped in. I appreciate that, and Matt, if you don't know, has a, he has the next roast coming up this week for showgirls, so expect a 20-plus minute roast on really a cinematic darling with Elizabeth Berkley, and is Elizabeth Berkley? Is that right? Elizabeth Berkley. Okay, it is. I always get her confused with, what's the woman's name in Austin Powers? That's Elizabeth something, too, I think. We're gonna move past it. Primal Fear, thank you for the recommendation, Matt. I'm gonna turn off the view so that we don't see what's next. Where are we? Little film called Seven. Now, I will tell you ahead of time, there are four David Fincher movies on my list. He's the king at this. I really wish he would come back to these thriller-type flicks. I know he's got a new movie coming out. I think it's called The Killers. I'm hoping that he gets back to this style again, because between this and a few others on my list, it's just perfection right now. We have Brad Pitt, we got Morgan Freeman, and we got a Crazy Killer on the Loose played by Kevin Spacey. Gwyneth Paltrow is also in there as a supporting actress. This movie has such a good vibe to it. It's very dour, the rain's constantly coming down. These detectives are on the mean streets, looking at some of the worst, most horrific crimes they've ever seen. And Morgan Freeman's no spring chicken in this. He's been on the beat for a very long time. He's right around, he can see retirement looming, but he wants to get this one last job done, and it's gonna come at a cost. If you haven't seen Seven, avoid all spoilers at all costs. It's just, it's one of those movies that leaves you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. I absolutely love it. You know, we can spoil, oh God, oh God, don't look. Okay, the game. This is another David Fincher film. You know, I thought I sorted the list so that you couldn't see that many at once. Hang on, let me change the view for a second. This is gonna sound great for the podcast when half of the time is just me fucking around. There's a way to change the list. There, we'll do it like that. Okay, now I can actually show ahead. Let's share again. Let's Sonny and share. There we go. So you can see one ahead, but after that, the lobby secrets. All right, Michael Douglas stars in the game. It's kind of like the other Richard Gere. He's the better Richard Gere for me. This movie is very underrated. I think it's underrated. I don't think people ever talk about the game. Like they talk about Seven or Fight Club or some of his other like social network. The game is like top tier David Fincher material here. We have Michael Douglas who, it doesn't say the name of the character. I remember the names of the characters. Michael Douglas, Sean Penn. Sean Penn wants to do something nice for this guy for his birthday. So he has him go to this location where they read all these different things on his body. Like they go through his mind, his psyche, his physical appearance, his physicality. And then they determine the best way to play a game on him. The game will start unbeknownst to him. And that's when things go wild because it's like, is this game for real? Or are they really fucking with this dude and taking his money and taking his life away? And it's not until the end where we're gonna find out what's actually going on. Again, avoid spoilers. Go into this fresh, as fresh as you can after what I just gave you and just be amazed by the beautiful cinematography, the great acting and the wonderful story. I think you'll be impressed with this one. I know I am. We have a super chat for $15. Thank you, JL-PHX. I have a neighbor with the same Ignat. Damn it, I butchered the joke. JL-PHX, I got a neighbor with the same name. Oh my God, now I swallowed an ice cube. I swallowed an ice cube whole. It's gonna sound good on the podcast. Just want to say that you're awesome and I've enjoyed your videos and your sense of humor. Two of my favorite thrillers are American Psycho and Gone Girl. Very, JL, I appreciate that very much. One of them, I am in full agreement. I should have added it to the list, American Psycho, Christian Bale, awesome film. Gone Girl, people are really big on that one and that one did not work for me and it's also David Fincher. I felt like having the twist reveal halfway through the movie just undercut everything that came after and I didn't care at all about these two kind of miserable, terrible people trying to one up each other in the fucked up department. I understand and I appreciate why people like it. It just didn't personally hit me the right way. Thank you, JL. I'm glad you're getting some entertainment out of my shtick and out of my love for movies. I appreciate it. Let's skip this off while I look at one more Super Chat. Kyle Nelson, 499 Super Chat, thank you, Kyle. Disturbia with the beef with Shia LaBeouf and uncut gems with Adam Sandler. Okay, I really do like Disturbia which is kind of a quasi reboot of what is it, rear window or something like that. Very, very good movie underrated. I should watch that one again actually and uncut gems I did really enjoy too with Sandler. I should have prefaced my list by saying cause thrillers are kind of encompassing. They run the gamut, right? It's a pretty nebulous term thriller. You can throw a Michael Jackson song in there. You can throw a sci-fi alien movie in there. You can throw in like an uncut gems. How I'm using thriller is really kind of skirting the line, walking the line between a full bore horror film and a murder mystery kind of caper style. So really a film that gives you kind of a sick feeling as you're watching or a disturbed feeling as you're watching or a Disturbia feeling. And then it usually ends on kind of a sour note. It's not a feel good film. I mean, both of yours actually work cause uncut gems definitely has a tragic ending. Although uncut gems, they found to be more like almost a dark comedy more than anything else. And Disturbia is just a solid, solid kind of action thriller, which I appreciate. Thank you, Kyle for the picks. Let's see what else is on my list. Let's see what else we have to work with. What else is cooking? Another fincher. I kind of put all the finchers in a row as a fincher bration of sorts. Zodiac. Like I said, I'm watching Prisoners right now with my wife. This movie feels an awful lot like Zodiac. The way that it's playing out, the slow methodical pace to it, the tension, the mystery, the divisive endings kind of, although I think Zodiac's ending is a lot stronger personally, it doesn't leave you feeling so empty inside. I mean, yes, the ending is very much open ended. There's no solving of a case here. But I like the way that it frames that person that he goes to see at the end. Oh, it's really it. Both movies have Jake Gyllenhaal as well as a detective trying to figure things out. Oh, wait, is he a detective in Zodiac? He might just be a journalist in Zodiac. That one's really fun because unlike Prisoners where it's the span of a week or two, Zodiac spans generation. This movie spans like 30 years. See if all these different cool characters come into going. Mark Ruffalo's in this, you got Robert Downey Jr. I mean, half the cast of The Avengers is in this film. Robert Downey Jr. is in here. Jake Gyllenhaal, they've all been in The Avengers movie. But then again, at this point, who hasn't been? Wonderful cinematography. Again, you cannot miss with David Fincher. What do we got next? And I think this is the last one I put on my list from the director, Panic Room. I've brought this movie up several times. It's not his best work by any means. It's not an amazing movie by any means, but it's a really simple, well-orchestrated film that keeps the tension ratcheted up. You have some great actresses. I mean, well, you have a great actress here with Jodie Foster, what is it? Kristen Stewart, she holds her own. This is pre-Twilight. So she's not quite as bland, I guess. It works for the character. You got Forrest Whitaker. You got Jared Leto in here. That might not be a selling point, but he works really. His character is great. Fincher knows how to use Jared the right way. The premise is simple. A mother and daughter, estranged ex-husband pays for them to live wherever they want. So they pick this massive house downtown, super wealthy. They wanted to stick it to the husband because he's got tons of money. And this place is just prime for kind of disturbed situations to occur. It's like a four or five-story flat or whatever you call it. Is it a flat if it's more than one level? I don't know what you call houses. I don't know what you call an estate. Flat is like, that's just one level, I think. I should really research things before I say them. Regardless, some bad guys are there to break in and steal some shit, but there's a panic room installed and that's where Foster and her daughter are gonna spend the time at. They're gonna be in this panic room and the guys have to try to figure out how to get them out. Little bit of a bottle episode idea, I dig it a lot. And again, it's just Fincher makes something so simple as making coffee look interesting because he'll take a camera and he'll throw it through the fucking little handle of the coffee cup and then he'll fly up through some railings and it's just he's a genius behind the lens. People always get hard on Zack Snyder. I was like, dude, there's way better directors out there doing stuff that look realistic. And I like Snyder too, but I just, I feel like everybody just dies on that hill when there are other directors out there doing some really, really amazing things. All right, let's move on. Now I have that because Kyle brought up Disturbia, I have that song by Rihanna in my head. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, Disturbia, na, na, na, na, na, Disturbia, the host. Is that up on the screen still? Yeah, we have the host here. I'm a man of culture. I have a couple of foreign films on this list. It was 2006. I think this is the same director that did Parasite. Bong Joon Ho probably shouldn't have even tried to pronounce it because now I just lost all credibility. This is a great premise because it's kind of got a monster thing going on. This fish creature has been birthed out of the ocean, out of the canal because a bunch of toxins were poured down years earlier. So we have this deformed giant sea beast that comes out middle of the day and starts attacking people. He's gobbling them up. He's putting them in a nest for later. So we have a family who's on a mission to save their daughter, much like prisoners. We have a missing daughter situation and the father is hell bent on saving her. What I like about this one is how the father changes over the course of the film. He's very klutzy. He's incompetent. He's borderline frustrating. But by the end of the movie, he's gonna come into his own. He's gonna find a way to utilize his skills and maybe he'll save someone in the process. It might just not be the one you think. I absolutely recommend the host subtitles. If that bothers you, just push through it. Push through it. It's got a beautiful cinematography. It's got some cool action. It's got some fake CG that's still cool and still looks fine for what they're doing. I think at one time it was gonna get Americanized, but then they put the kibosh on it. So this is the only version I know. This was actually recommended by a patron. I would never have seen this movie if it wasn't for a user at the Mithril level who said, Adam, I'm making you watch The Wailing, 2016 film. It's, it really is like a seven or a zodiac. I thought this was great. A stranger arrives in a little village and soon after a mysterious sickness starts spreading. So a policeman goes to investigate and what's really happening is there's some demonic shit going down. But the towns people think maybe it's a disease that's spreading around or maybe this demon really does exist and it's taking the form of an elderly man up in the hill or maybe it's not the elderly man, maybe it's some other mysterious character we haven't met yet or maybe it's the father becoming corrupted or the daughter is the demon. It just, it keeps unspooling and I'm on for the ride. It is a little on the longer side but I do think it's worth it and that's why it's on this list, obviously. It's a little redundant to say I think it's worth it. I think everything on my list is worth it. We have a super chat coming in, a recommendation from Rob Kay, $2 super chat. Last night in Soho. I saw the twist coming though. Yeah, last night in Soho. This is a, this is a film from, what is his name? He did Baby Driver. He did Scott Pilgrim versus The World. Why can I not remember? He was supposed to do Ant-Man. Oh, it's gonna bother me that I can't think of it. I'll have to stop. But Rob Kay, I'm with you. The first two thirds of last night in Soho are really fantastic. I did not like where they went with it. It felt like a completely different movie. It felt a little hoodwinked by the end and it just didn't line up for me. I don't know what it is. Something about that final act just did not work. I appreciate the recommendation though and I do think it is worth watching to form your own opinion, of course, because that director whose name I can't remember does good work. Let me look it up. Let me look it up quick. Last night in Soho, director. Figure right. There it is. Last night in Soho, thanks for the memories. Every time I hear the title, I for some reason think of that song that I think fallout boy. Okay, Parasite, there it is. I knew it was on here. And yes, it is the same director that did The Host. I think a lot of people have seen this film. It's not what I thought it was gonna be going in. I went in blind, assuming Parasite, okay, it's gonna be like some demons or some disease that's crawling in people and making them go crazy. No, it's not that at all. It's about this family that's incredibly poor and they take advantage of much more wealthy. I wanna say ignorant, I guess. I don't even know if that's the right word. Well-intentioned family members who they assimilate into their lives by becoming their driver or their tutor or whatever they can do to get involved. And then they just start taking advantage of them. Financially, they stay at their place when they're gone and shit just snowballs by the time this thing's over. Now there is, of course, this mysterious rock. I lean towards it being a red herring, but I know that it also has some kind of symbolic meaning in the culture and that it does have bad luck associated with it. So there is definitely layer to this film too. And it's another one of the movies, much like The Host, where you have a character that's a little incompetent or not really the one you would call a hero of the picture who kind of by the end of the movie becomes exactly that. He becomes competent. He becomes the hero of the picture. Check out Parasite. It's a fun time. It's a wild ride. Last night in Soho, thanks for the memories. Na, na, na, na, na. Oh, we have a super chat. Let me bring up the super chat quick before I jump into the next one. Get me full screen. $5 super chat from Chris Stuff. I don't like when it's one big word like that. Christopher Lacus. Christopher Lacus? Chris, Christofalo, I'm gonna go with Christopher Lacus. We'll just say Chris. $5 super chat. I literally just finished prisoners before joining the stream. Most of the characters made me mad, but I really like Dennis as a director, so I'm torn. Okay, yeah. Chris, that's where I was at. That's where I was at the first time I watched prisoners. It's so well-directed and the motivations all make sense. And I like that there's some depth to all these characters and what you're willing to do for your child. But the way they go about certain things is very frustrating. And that ending is just, again, my wife hasn't seen it. She claims, even though I know I took her to the theater to watch that movie when it came out, but it's been a long time. We had just had our first child, so we were both pretty out of it. And that's another reason why I thought maybe I will enjoy this more on a second viewing. And so I'm very curious to think, or I'm very curious to hear what she has to say when this movie winds down. And I hope she's not secretly watching it upstairs right now. I told her I wanted to finish it with her. Thank you, Chris. Matt's back, baby. 499 Arlington Road, excellent thriller with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins. Matt, you've brought this up before. And I do agree it was a good thriller when I saw it back in the day. I don't know if I'd put it on if it makes this criteria on my list because Arlington Road, that's more of a, that's like a speed to me. It's like an action thriller. It doesn't have the disturbing nature too. I mean, it does, it is disturbing. The neighbor is a, what is he like a bomb? He's a terrorist, I believe. He's a terrorist and Jeff Bridges, or I'm gonna butcher it. It's been a thousand years since I've seen it. But Matt, great suggestion. Arlington Road is a good movie. Came out right around the same time as Blown Away, which I also really enjoy. Again, kind of action thriller-esque as well. Beautiful recommendation. Kyle's back, paranormal activity for 199. You know, Kyle, I thought about where that would fit. I don't know if I would say paranormal activity. It's tough for me to call that one a thriller because that's kind of almost like a clover field to me or a Blair Witch project where, yes, kind of maybe in the thriller department, but I would put that more in just a straight up horror film, scary movie, however you wanna label it, the thriller. It doesn't seem smart enough if that makes sense. It doesn't seem sharp enough to be a straight thriller. There's not really any mystery to paranormal activity. It's just straight up these people are getting haunted by a demon. The first one is pretty good. I actually, which one was it? The third one I think I saw, I skipped the second. They're all kind of different, I think. But the third one had an amazing marketing campaign because all the trailer footage, all the footage, all the trailer footage was alt takes that didn't make it to the final cut. So everything in the trailer is in the movie, but it's different. So in the trailer, I believe they were going up to the mirror and playing Bloody Mary, but in the movie, that doesn't happen that way. Just everything. It was a complete misdirective sorts, but it wasn't also very, it wasn't false advertising because really you were getting all of these sequences, they just played out differently. And for a horror movie, that's really half the battle is being surprised. Thank you, Kyle. Okay, back to the, back to mine. We have Nope on here. Now there is a couple on my list where I'm at odds with myself where to put them. Nope, you could definitely put in just a straight sci-fi horror because I always considered it jaws in the sky. And I don't have jaws on my list, even though that is a thriller slash horror as well. Nope, just barely squeaks by because I do think that there is a big mystery element to it. Plus there is a lot of layer to this movie in terms of baggage that these characters bring to the table and how it's manifested. You have that whole monkey attack scene, which is brutal and freaking awesome to watch. And then you have this mystery on the ranch. I just, I really eat this up. I've seen it a couple of times and it gets better. It gets better on repeat viewings. What's next? Let me move down. Silence of the lambs. Every time I hear signs of the lambs, I just think a cable guy. Hello, Clarice. It's good to see you again. My daughter actually just watched this for the first time with my wife. I didn't have the luxury of sitting down and watching it with them. I was in the background. I think it was like in the kitchen doing dishes or cooking or cleaning or, you know what? I mean, I'm just 24 seven working over here. No matter what needs to be done, I'm doing it sort of a situation. I don't know what I was doing. I think I was at one point in the kitchen though, making breakfast or something. We're watching this at like 10. We're having a big breakfast that day. Regardless signs of the lambs, it holds up very well. Two Jody Foster films on this list for good reason. It's kind of the queen of this stuff. You have Anthony Hopkins giving the performance of his career, probably one that still hasn't shaken him to this day. I wonder how many people have gone up to him and said, hello, Clarice or silence of the lambs. I'm sure it kind of tears it as soul. But, you know, the concept is simple. There is a crazed killer on the loose and the best way to get into the mind of someone who's kidnapping and torturing women is to go to someone that thinks like them. And that's where Hannibal Lecter comes in. He's going to help Jody Foster's character figure out who this wild bill individual is, how he ticks and how to stop him. It's a classic for a reason. 1991, misery, you insist that the weight of the world will be on your shoulders. Metallica? Yeah, Metallica. 1990, I didn't know Rob Reiner directed this. Interesting. Misery, Kathy Bates, James Gunn! Story by Stephen King. Another simple affair. A famed writer is up in the mountains in a small town in But Fuck America, gets in a massive car crash because there's a blizzard on the road. Kathy Bates's character finds him, picks him up, brings her back to her place where she's going to nurse him back to health. Or at least nurse him well enough so that he can type his next great American novel. And she's gonna make sure that he does it the right way. Or he's going to pay by getting his legs broken or by getting hit in the face with a typewriter or whatever it takes to keep him in his bed and keep her happy because she is his number one fan. And so really it is a societal commentary on how far sycophants will go to get what they want, how they will kind of map on an image of someone that isn't really that image at all. This is a really fun movie. She's very neurotic. She's got everything in place where she wants it to be. So when he like knocks over a little penguin item, she picks it up and puts it back on the table. She says, wait, that's not how it was before. She remembers this shit. And again, it's a fast watch. It's an easy watch. Recommended, 1990. What a good year. What a good year. And we got a super chat in from our friend, Jan Rose. $2, thank you, Jan. Black Swan. Now that's a good pick. That is a great pick. So magically dark and amazing. Yes. Yes, okay. Director of Requiem for a Dream, which is kind of a thriller in a sense as well. That's a powerful movie. Black Swan, I think, is one you put on the list. Natalie Portman. The Mila Kunis. She was in the news recently. I know she's been having a good go at it lately. Yeah, these two put in the performance again of their lifetimes. Natalie Portman is that top form here. I have to see it again. It's been a long time. I just remember she's a struggling ballerina and the new up-and-comers kind of fucking with her head, getting in her business. And at some point, she's like literally becoming this Black Swan. It's a really creepy movie in the best way possible. Thank you, Jan. There's a couple on my list coming up that are on here because I saw them once or twice and then probably saw them 45 times on TV. And I still don't really remember them, but I put them on here because they're probably kind of fun schlocky movies that you should see. And here's one of them now. The Hand That Rocks to Cradle. 1992. We got Rebecca Day-Mornay in this who kind of looks like Naomi Watts. I don't know if I'm the only one that feels that. I know that Ernie Hudson, one of the Ghostbusters is in the mix. At one point, she breastfeeds another woman's baby because what happens is Rebecca Day-Mornay. How do you say that, Mornay? Rebecca Day-Mornay, I always take a Seinfeld because there's a character that's in two or three episodes. It's a heavy-set Black woman. Her name is Rebecca Day-Mornay. It's just like a funny thing, I don't know. But she's in this and she's a servant for a household, another parasite situation where she wants to play mom and she actually wants the child of her own. So this newborn baby comes into the family. She wants to be mom. She wants to play housewife, make the husband fall in love with her. Ooh, it's good. It's devious stuff. It's devious stuff. And that rocks the cradle all day long. Uh-huh. Here's a classic. The Sixth Sense. Haley Jo Osmond sees dead people. We have Bruce Willis in this. Bruce Willis, obviously, as we know, not having a good go at it either. He's suffering from a debilitating disease. I can't remember what it's called, but basically he's done acting. It's a tragic thing. It kind of built, I think, pretty fast in the last five or six years. But unlike the rest of us, he's got a classic lineup of films that we can always go back to and think fondly on some of the stuff he's done. I mean, it was fucking John McClane for crying out loud. Here, though, he's kind of a mystery guy that comes into this family's life. He talks to the son, and he's gonna be sharing some stories about ghosts that the poor kid's seen and how that maybe we can ease that suffering. And I'm not gonna say anything else because if you don't know the twist on this or if you don't know anything about this, just watch it now because odds are you're gonna see something somewhere that's gonna spoil this movie before you know it. I see dead people. Here's another one on the list that I've seen this movie a couple times. 12 Monkeys, 1995, Terry Gillum. It's been probably a decade since I last watched it, but I had this phase in my life, teenage years where you know, you're angsty, you're troubled, you're watching a lot of weird ass movies. 12 Monkeys is a weird ass movie. Another Bruce Willis vehicle, Brad Pitt's in this too. I feel like there's another one or two people. Christopher Plummer. Yeah, there's some decent actors coming and going. Brad Pitt in the 90s, mid-90s was freaking great. He had some fun roles. And here, this is him at his Luneus. He plays an actual mental patient who's got a lot of ideas floating around that noggin. Bruce Willis is a time traveler who has voices in his head. I can't even explain this movie. And even after watching it, I'm not sure I fully can explain it, but it has something to do with stopping the end of the world. It's a very, very odd movie. If you wanna talk about bizarre movies, watch 12 Monkeys. It'll be right after Allie. Here we go. This has got to be a schlockfest. I refuse to believe that the good son holds up in any meaningful way, but I have a good soft spot for this movie. You got two little kids coming into their prime. You got Macaulay Culkin or Mack, as he's referred to nowadays, and Elijah Wood. These were the stars. These were the kids. And they're going head to head in this movie. The good son, Elijah Wood, is going to be spent a lot of time with this piece of shit, Macaulay Culkin, who likes to throw dummies over bridges to see what happens to the cars below. He likes to push kids out into the ice rink and see if they fall through in the thinner part. It's a trip. It's a trip down memory lane, for sure. What year is this coming? 1993, okay. I'd be very interested to know if this movie holds up, and I definitely have to watch it with my kids now. Macaulay Culkin, just look at his face there. You just want to punch him. He kind of looks like my son. Kind of looks like Connor there. A lot like, yeah, no wonder I want to punch him so bad. All right, let's move on. Oh, and if you're new here, subscribe for Child Abuse. We have fun. The Invisible Man. Oh, man. Let me get some super chats in before I get too far. Nope, wrong one. Wrong window. Again, the audio version, just stellar. Let's see, Kyle Nelson, 199. Any episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog. You know, I used to watch that show on Cartoon Network. I think it was part of Adult Swim, maybe. It might have been the edge of Cartoon Network. They had some more adult-ish shows, Samurai Jack being one of them. Yeah, Courage was probably on there. Funny-ass show, it was a little pink or purple dog, and it's always screaming. It lived with its owner, this old-ass dude, on a house, on a floating rock in the middle of nowhere, and every episode, insane things happened. Monsters show up, ghosts, goblins, demons, vampires. You name it, it happens. And Courage the Cowardly Dog somehow has to muster up the courage to stop these things. So he is the Cowardly Dog, but quite the contrary. He does quite a bit more than you would imagine a scaredy cat would, or a scaredy dog, I should say. Thank you, Kyle. Courage, what a throwback. Jan Rose for $5. Thank you, Jan. Nightcrawler, oh yes. Even though I hate it because it's one of those movies where the bad guy stays the bad guy, which gives no happy ending. And I hate it. No, it's a thriller, so you want it to end on that sour note. And it's also kind of a commentary on how corrupt the media is as well, because Nightcrawler, another Jake Gyllenhaal vehicle, and it should be on this list. I bought that movie digital the first day it hit. And I was, you know, the last time I cared about awards, which I never really did, but kind of pretended to care about awards, was when Nightcrawler got snuffed from the Oscars, or snubbed, I guess, to be the more accurate word. It got taken out. Either way, it works. It was not mentioned for Best Picture, which it should have been, Best Actor for sure, for Jake Gyllenhaal there. He plays this very unconventional individual who knows what he has to do to achieve success in the media industry. And that's getting a camera guy and going right up to the source of issues, which means breaking and entering while a domestic abuse situation is taking place. Maybe even moving bodies that were just recently freshly killed to get a better angle of a shot. He's willing to go the extra mile and break a few laws in the process to make a name for himself. Nightcrawler's a, it's a ride. Thank you, Jan. Matt's back, 9.99. Thank you, Matt. Basic instinct and Cape Fear. Cape Fear with Mark Wahlberg. Yeah, that's a good flick. I haven't seen that one in so long. I actually just completely forgot it exists. That's with Reese Witherspoon too. And basic instinct, Lindsey told me to put on the list. I don't think I did. That's Sharon Stone. I honestly meant to put it on there because I asked her if she had any recommendations. She threw out basic instinct. I completely butchered putting it on the list, but now you've said it, Matt. So I don't have to and I appreciate you for that. Thank you very much. Another one that almost made it, but I'd only seen it once and I just felt like it was probably pretty bad was the crush with Alicia Silverstone. Kind of a reverse Cape Fear situation where she's the psychological terrorist screwing with the new neighbor guy. We got one more before I continue. That is from Mark Markson's Bass Channel. Bass Channel. The Bass Channel. Oh God. For A299, I don't know what the, why is there an eighth? That must have been just a mistake. Have you seen the latest couple, Ahsoka? Is it Ahsoka or I think it's Ahsoka episodes. I have not seen a episode of Ahsoka, an episode of Ahsoka. I don't have any desire to. Kind of like the new MCU shows that come to Disney Plus. Just don't care at all about the Star Wars stuff. The Mandalorian was so bad last season. It was embarrassing. And then Obi-Wan was just kitty garbage for the most parts. What am I getting with Ahsoka? Is it worth watching? You can let me know in a comment after the video. I just, I don't see any reason to put any more time and investment into this shit when there's so much other better stuff to watch. We have 10 Fast and the Furious movies to get through, right? I mean, come on. What am I wasting my time with Star Wars when we have Fast and the Furious 11 on the horizon? No, I just, I don't really see the need. Star Wars is kind of dead to me. The MCU is pretty much dead to me. They're gonna have to do some actual work to get me back in the corner. Thank you for the super chat. Matt Sclerow, no, Cape Fear with De Niro? Oh, did I say the wrong movie? Cape Fear. Oh, there's a different, I don't even know what this movie is. Oh my God, Cape Fear. What was I thinking of? Isn't there a Mark Wahlberg movie? Mark Wahlberg. Oh, it's just Fear. Oh. Oh. Oh, fuck. I've never seen it. I've never seen Cape Fear with De Niro. I'm a movie critic. It's not my full-time job. If it was my full-time job, then you could be like, you're a joke, but I have a full-time job, so I'm gonna use that as an excuse for not seeing Cape Fear or even knowing of its existence. Jesus Christ. Like, I know the name. I shouldn't say I don't know of its existence. I know the name, but I have not seen that movie. I've not seen Cape Fear. Okay, I have seen The Invisible Man, which is of course a remake, but it's one of the remakes that I really enjoyed. We have America's sweetheart, Kate Moss from Handmaid's Tale. We have, I don't know anybody else that's in this movie, Storm Reed. That's a person I guess I should probably know. I've seen that name before. Really what we have here is the next boyfriend who just does not wanna give it up, and he's invisible, which makes matters a lot worse for our main lead. He's gonna be stalking her the whole movie, and they have some good tension in this thing because you know he's in the room with her, which you can't see him, just like she can't see him, but we know he's there, the presence is there. It's very unnerving. It's very, it's tough to watch sometimes because you're just waiting for a throw to get slit or someone to get cut or thrown against a wall. It does have a bit of an action vibe to it at some points. There's one scene in the hallway where he's basically going John Wick on a bunch of orderlies. He's just chucking them around, breaking legs. I like the way this is shot. I like the pace of it. It's a good time, The Invisible Man. One of the few remakes that I really enjoy. It's right up there with Cape Fear. We already talked about Primal Fear. We're gonna go to the next one here. Sleepers, 1996. We got Kevin Bacon. We have Cape Fear star, Robert De Niro. We have, well, Dustin Hoffman's in this. Brad Pitt, it's just a mini driver. Again, okay, I was never a big mini driver fan, but many drivers in this. What we have here is a school of young boys who are getting a lot of bad shits happening to them by the prison guards. This is a really hard movie to watch, but it's really told in two acts. Act one is the brutal treatment these kids are getting from these asshole crooked guards, Kevin Bacon being one of them. And then the second act is them grown up and how they're gonna get the revenge on this guy. And you have De Niro as the lawyer who's gonna have to basically save their lives in court against the treatment that they, the injustice that has been delivered so far. The funnest part about this movie is that Sleeper is one of the early releases on DVD when DVD first came birthed into the world and I had my hands on it. And halfway through the movie, much like Stargate, another one that I tried watching on DVD, the film just stops, just goes black. Half way through the film, it's over. I'm laying on the couch, it's the middle of the night. I'm just like, what happened? Did it freeze? What's the skip protection on a DVD player? And I get up and I find it's two-sided. They print half on one, half on the other. So you have to flip the desk like you would a fucking cassette. God damn it, I can't talk. They have to flip it like you would a cassette tape. What year is this? I thought DVD was supposed to be the future. But I'm having to flip sides? Yeah, that's what Sleeper's was. Freakin' Friday night, tired of shit, can't talk. I apologize. Deliverance, skidding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. I've seen this movie once. It haunts me. Speaking of America's sweetheart, we have John Boyd in this. We have Bert Reynolds. You know, some guys just being guys taking a nice little river trip out in the woods. And what they find is not what they expect. A bunch of hillbilly rednecks. Take a couple of them, beat them, have their way with them. And the rest of it's gonna be a survival picture trying to get out. It's a thriller in the sense that it's very disturbing. It's kind of like Descent. Remember the movie, The Descent, which I also almost put on this list, but that's more scary. Deliverance is more psychological. And you know, someone's gonna get out of this alive, but do they actually get out of what occurred? That's the message here. You don't ever really get free from something like this. Good flick. And that's it, that's my list. I think I gave you like 20 or so. Let's get back into full screen. Obviously people brought up some really great ones to some ones that I hadn't heard of because I guess I just have been sleeping during some of the time. Mike pause, hunt for $5. Mike gets me pretty much every time he shows up with his name alone, but I'm getting wise to it. They have to slow down when I read his name because if you read it too fast, yeah. Watch Cube, 1997. It's a bit low budget, but it's a good sci-fi horror thriller. Cube. I always get Cube confused with the Cell, which is that gross bondage style one with J.Lo, I think. I get Cube, Cell and Cape Fear confused and Fear confused. They're really all the same movie for me. Thank you, Mike. Space, Hunt. Kyle Nelson, 199. Hollow Man. 2000 Kevin Bacon is better. Fight me. Oh, I disagree. I disagree wholeheartedly on that. The effects don't hold up in Hollow Man. It looks really fake. I don't agree. There's a lot of Kevin Bacon creepy movies. Stir of Echoes is another one. They just don't land fully for me and that's why they're not on the list. Hollow Man, I probably should rewatch though. I don't think it was a bad movie, if I remember right, it just didn't really do anything too exciting. Okay, that was a lot. We had a lot of fun here, I think. I'll stick around for a few more minutes. I do have to go finish prisoners though, so don't let me keep you up. If you feel like you have a movie or something that wasn't said here, please throw me a super chat and we're kind of racing to the finish line because I'm sure my wife is upstairs with her finger on the trigger. She's got that play button and she's just ready to pounce on it if she hasn't already screwed me over and finished watching it. But yeah, we'll give you a couple more seconds for soups and then we'll go from there. We'll leave you in peace. I think Mortal Kombat 1 came out yesterday. I was meaning to pick that up. I usually wait until they go on sale but Mortal Kombat 1 looks freaking awesome. I think I have to get that. So I'll just take a drink of Coke. I shouldn't be drinking this late at night either. And I'll leave you with a little bit of housekeeping what's going on. I mentioned that Showgirls is gonna be up on the docket for next week. I would like to get two of them out for roasts. I'd like to get Showgirls done and Street Fighter the movie but these take a long time to make so I'm not making that promise. But we will get Showgirls for sure. Matt, thank you of course for the support and for the recommendation. We'll get that going. I did see a haunting in Venice last night. I put out a little YouTube short on it 45 second review, 60 second review, whatever they are. And I will probably do a full review for it. Maybe I'll film it tomorrow if I'm feeling okay. Connor has a basketball game. We have a Pokemon Go hunt that we have to do for a couple hours downtown. So we're gonna be doing that as a family. And after that maybe we'll see. Maybe I can get a review out for the haunting one and for that jar hand soul movie that I saw last week at the Monday premiere. And I never even bothered reviewing. I could do those too. Otherwise besides those look for the lives going up Tuesday and Friday and we'll have the podcast Monday. Again, patreon.com slash Adam does movies or YouTube join is a join button. You can show your support right here. There's a $1 tier, there's a 10 and I should point out some people got kicked off on patreon. Their cards were no longer valid because patreon did something stupid with their internal system. So people might not even know that they're not supporting anymore. Okay, that was a lot. I'm gonna leave it there. Wait, we did get a couple more in at the end. So we'll end here. Mark is back 299. Ahsoka is a strong female lead. And quite frankly, it's about time. Thank you, Mark. And yes, she is. Mike Hunt, $2. What's your favorite Friday the 13th? I don't have one, Mike. I'm sorry you wasted $2 on that question. I'm not really into Friday the 13th. I could look it up really quick Friday the 13th. Yeah, I just, I don't really care for any of them if I'm gonna be frank with you. And I haven't seen a lot of them. I saw the one where he goes to space and I didn't care for it. But maybe Friday the 13th is a property that this year, this Halloween, this October, I say, you know what, Adam? This is the year you become a Friday the 13th watcher. And I should probably marathon on them. There's like 20, right? I mean, there's a lot, probably realistically there's nine or 10. I'll give him a shot and I'll report back. How's that sound? Cause I am always looking for new scary movies to watch at the holiday will make it happen, Cap'n. And yeah, in the following weeks during these Friday streams, we'll probably do more list style like this. We'll come up with some more topics. We will get, of course, scary movies. Maybe we'll do a theme on best haunted mansion movies. Maybe we'll do a theme on best ghost movies, best monster movies. There's a lot of options here. The sky is really the limit and I appreciate the engagement. We got one more at the end from Kali Wally for $5. Thank you, Kali Wally, old boy, Korean 2003 and the Nightingale 2019 are two really dark and disturbing thrillers to watch. Yes, old boy, I was almost gonna put on my list. And I always get shit on this. I've only seen the American version of old boy and I hear the Korean one is so much better. It's still on my list to watch. I was gonna bring it up because I actually liked the American version quite a bit and I got shit on for it because I guess it just pales and compares into the other one, but that wasn't in my mind. I don't know it. So this is as its own thing, it works. Thank you. I will make sure to note that I need to watch old boy for the 5,000th time. And I also have not heard of Nightingale. Who's a Nightingale? Nightingale. Such as gonna bring up the animal. Of course, that's just gonna bring up the animal. Movie, 2018. I don't know what this is. Everything this film from the gore to the room is very realistic and strong. Okay, well, that sounds intense. It definitely sounds intense. Thanks again, Wally. We're gonna leave it there. Thank you guys for watching. Hope you had a good time. Hopefully I gave you one or two thrillers that you can put on your bucket list for this year. And with that, I'm gonna go finish prisoners. And maybe, just maybe, it'll work better the second time.
