Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. And it was, we had to get, we got a pass to come back to see the last hour of it. Like an hour into it. It was so annoying, but, um, I don't know, Casey, what about you? Do you have any?
That's so funny you said that because I saw that movie in the theater too. And the opening, the first like five minutes of A Complete Unknown is so dark that I thought I was about to go to the projection booth and be like, could you like, I don't know if the, you know, the movie's playing right or whatever.
And I, cause I, there were people just like you who were like fumbling, stumbling because it was so, I was like, why is this gonna be so dark? I don't understand where we're at. Yeah. It's crazy.
Um, gosh, I don't know. You know, this is, we were talking about, you know, kind of what we're going to do for this podcast, like how we're going to set it up and what are these like questions that we want to ask our guests. Right. Um, and one of the things that came to mind, I mean, again, like this, this podcast that we're doing is also about like movie culture.
So, you know, we're talking about not just like movie theater going, but like, like video stores and, you know, just stuff that if you're into movies or there's like these little rituals, these little things that we do. And one of the questions that we like to ask is imagine that you're in a video store
And so if you're, you know, going through the video store, what's like the first VHS or DVD cover that comes to mind when you enter into the store? Do you have yours? I do. Oh, good, good.
Well, I mean, I was such a video store loser as a kid. I mean, I was there constantly. And it was just like, you know, well, first of all, my parents never let us go to the movie theater. They were too cheap to let us go to first run movies. So we were at the video store constantly. Constantly. And all of my good memories from video stores come from the horror movie section.
It's just what clicked in my brain. And so I think for me, the first one that comes to mind is the cover for a movie called Happy Birthday to Me. And it's basically a shish kebab skewer going through a guy's mouth into the back of his head.
Like, what's happening over there? There was another one that is in that era, I think, or around that era. The movie was, I think the movie is called Phenomena by Dario Argento, the, you know, Italian horror director. But it was called Creepers.
And it was basically, the cover was like an illustration of Jennifer Connelly, the actress Jennifer Connelly, with half of her face being ripped off by like insects.
Yeah.
And this is just on a shelf at my height, which at the time I was probably like, what, three feet tall or something. I mean, I was like, and I'm going, yeah, this is like totally ruining my life. Like all of these little boxes, they were so evocative, so freaky. And it just, you know, those are the things that I kind of gravitated towards, I think.
Yes.
That is so, such a weird concept now that I think about it. Because, like, my local video store had that section as well, curtained off. So you're predictably like in the family video store with like other people in your community. So you're seeing like neighbors.
So it's like, then all of a sudden it's like your friend's dad like disappears behind the curtain. And I'm like, that would never, like, that is such a weird concept. I don't know if that would happen these days. Like, nobody wants to be in the X-rated video section while people are running twins, right? It's like a different vibe.
Yeah. They don't want that for themselves. No.
They did.
I mean, Keanu Reeves. I say that every film podcast that we do. I always say Keanu Reeves. Could happen. Love for that to happen.
