 This is kind of a special occasion for us being big goosebumps fans back in the day We had I'd say a large majority of the books at least well I thought I had the large majority until I started reading through the list Quite the collection of well it's spanned from like what the early 90s to the late 90s I think so. I think I said 92 to 97 was its original run. There's a lot of off-shoots Yeah, of course, so we were really hoping with the goosebumps movie We were gonna be brought back to that nostalgic time reading those books again We're gonna find out right now if it paid off and you're turning a page. Yeah start this review What were your first impressions when you first saw the trailer for goosebumps when I first saw the trailer I thought there's no way that I'm gonna go see that movie in theater or possibly ever. It looked terrible Yeah, yeah, we looked really bad and the idea of the books coming to life and all the creations running havoc Seemed really kind of stupid and almost cliche like we've seen it before and in the trailer It had a lot of the monsters in the books that I had never read. I mean, there's a lot of the later Pasadena, yeah, where was the sea cheese and dye set up? Where was monster blood monster blood? Well spoiler We have Jack Black as RL Stein What do you think are you Jack Black? Not a huge Jack Black fan, but I don't hate him either He did okay. He seemed to Just be a little too much early in the movie He's a little over the top, but as the scenes unfolded. I thought he's a little more entertaining. What was his accent too? I don't know. It's kind of like an angry European Irish His daughter is Mila Kunis 15 years ago Mila Kunis that 70s show it looks just like her identical And the boy is kind of like a crossbreed of different actors to New girl mixed with Jonas brother and then there's the nerd. There's a lot of Side characters that are comic relief. There's a ton of comic relief in this you have the the chick from Workaholics who's hilarious. What is her name? I'm not sure. I want to give more credit Because she's a great act Jillian Bell Jillian Bell. Why is she not getting more work champ was another guy? He was in super 8 playing kind of the same character. Mm-hmm. I don't know I didn't really care for him and he was obnoxious six been done It was too many times. He had the cops and the mom was in it in and out Yeah, I forgot her name. She's she's been kind of blowing up in movies lately Just in the last one I saw the creepy other teacher that kind of popped in once What was the point of him? He's anybody's a party down fan. I'm pretty sure it's the main character party down guy I mean villain of the picture is slappy from what night of the living dummy night of the living dummy 2 and 3 I believe He is a good villain. He's funny and Jack black. I think I'm sure voiced him as well He's that way. I didn't mind him as a main villain. Yeah, I liked him a lot so slappy, you know, he opens all the books and all these creatures and stories come to life and It was just missing a lot of the ones that I really liked and the ones that were there We're different from the book like the main one was monster blood. Yeah, which was fucking purple Like real blood. I'm swearing in a review for a kid's like movie. It doesn't matter. I'd see YouTube It's all gone to shit But yeah, it's it's like reddish-purple maroon instead of green It's clearly green and all three or four of the books on the cover Goosebumps logo was originally in green Which I assume like kind of symbolize that book Yeah, early boy of the muse for monster blood a lot of comedy to a lot of comedy Actually, it was a lot funnier the beginning was actually really good drew my attention in yep And some of the action scenes are okay, but for the most part it was drawn out as it went along Yeah, I did like a lot of the comedy that was involved a little bit Some adult humor even I think they nailed the they nailed the audience and clearly the box office has shown that they They didn't seem to really care about Plot holes or anything. I suppose that's just kind of comes with it when it's a kid's movie or predictability Yeah, yeah, you called the twist right away see for how unpredictable as a eight nine ten year old I believed his books to be Fair point if we read them today, we're probably like oh, I know this is going to throw it away But yeah for a kid. It's probably very unpredictable. They're like You was a parent like whispering, okay And special effects that was a big turnoff when I saw the trailer and I thought that the the actual movie looked way better I don't know. I didn't I didn't think it was too bad I mean, I think part of what helped it was how close the camera was and yeah shaky So they didn't have to be as quality of Monsters, but even like the werewolf was all right. These are it was yeah It was it was better than I thought it wasn't like Scooby-Doo movie level crap. Remember those movies. I never went Pretty terrible. I've seen them both pre-kids Post-high school I'll see anything with Ruben Stutter in it you watched like Jurassic Park The original and you see the t-rex come down and it's really like an animatronic t-rex So it feels like it's there even today even today But you watch like even the new Jurassic world or this for instance and it just it looks fake I mean no matter how good the CGI gets It looks fake unless it's mad max where they use it more subtly in the backgrounds and stuff But yeah, that's just they didn't have the budget I guess to really convince me And I wish they would use more practical effects for some of the closer shots at least I guess I came in expecting very little And I got a little bit more than that so that's probably why the reviews are okay Yeah, people are in the same boat. So I was hoping to be a little more nostalgic about it But it was entertaining enough. Okay. Well, what do you what do you think you're gonna give this? Giving it a six I Was gonna go a little higher with a seven I'm still thinking I might go there because I'm a little bit more lenient to think with movies Lately maybe it's just being a parent and having to suffer through so much shit That I thought this was a good one for families. It wasn't too scary. I think I could take the daughter and she'd be fine Um, but there was enough at least where you know, it wasn't dumb enough for for parents to be like, okay This is just awful. There's definitely some yeah, there's some quality. It kept me entertained. I'm gonna go seven I want to say this to the score by Danny Elfman was a huge disappointment. I think it was Danny Elfman, right? Yeah, that's right, which surprised me because I mean he's done some amazing stuff But there's just nothing that says this is a goosebumps movie when it starts out And uh, yeah, I think that would have helped the movie a lot Well, I'll tell you this if new books come out. He's got a fan still. I'll buy him up for the kids I'll probably read him myself. I'll probably read him myself Let's end this until next time. We'll see you right here in the car. Is that how we end it?
