I don't think I would say Scream should have gone anthology after the original, but I think the series absolutely lends itself to a more anthology form. At this point staying too close to the same characters is holding it back.
@@chuckjammy9251 I care more about the story. The story was Sidney being haunted by her Mothers past. I don’t like gimmicks, I prefer the story. Scream had a great story to tell. The gimmick is now over played to death now. Why continue a gimmick that’s now been done to death?. Give me a good story.
@@NuMetalfan1996 sounds like you want a good story. 2nd had a really good one imo & so did the 4th, 5 & 6 were solid & 3 was intriguing, there’s only so much you can do story wise with a slasher. I’d argue other slasher franchises are as if not more creatively bankrupt But yes the story would be much better if at this point(really should’ve been since after 4) they stopped focusing on Sydney & those surrounding characters, which goes back to Sean’s point that yes that is the biggest problem the franchise has is focusing on them. The story isn’t mediocre because of the meta, if anything that enhances the mediocre parts at time. Meta has always been apart of Scream’s identity which differentiates it from other horror franchises & gave it a uniqueness, they’re also one of the first satire franchises & an early piece of mainstream satire. The problem with the stories is the focus, not the gimmick
And at this point the amount of Ghostfaces is ridiculous. Why do so many people in the Scream universe want to copycat 2 crazy teens like Billy and Stu?
Freddy vs. Jason gang 🙏🙏 it's so much dumb fun, they finally made Freddy scary-comedic again for the first time since Dream Warriors, and the metal-tinged soundtrack goes so hard!
I love Freddy vs Jason. It’s a horror comedy and did a great job weaving the two franchises together lore-wise. The movie didn’t feel like they made one character a clear “good guy”, but still made Jason understandably more sympathetic. I love the scenes with Jason on fire through the corn field, Freddy getting dragged and thrown by Jason in the real world, and Robert Englund’s last full-movie performance as Freddy.
@JQUE94 Resurrection is so frigging bad, but the scene with Busta Rhymes cursing out Michael Myers while in the shape costume cracked me up so hard😂 That scene alone justified that crappy movies existence.
I agree. Great atmosphere,solid cast, great tension and design. Definitely underrated and I actually think thr sequel is decent. Pity about that whole thing.
@@jordansweet8054 The Relic is an underrated creature feature type. A monster in a museum with a very original looking design by the goat Stan Winston. A lot of monster designs these days are generic.
It genuinely pisses me off that such a fun and creative concept was made by such a wet shit bag of a human. If it wasn't for Victor's BS, we'd have like 10 movies by now, with better quality than 3 and 4.
My hot take is probably in regards to Sinister. I think it’s one of the most under appreciated horror films of all time. The plot, the acting, the sound, Bughuul & the characters link to folklore which is unique and isn’t done enough in horror films imo, we need more pagan gods.
Absolutely agreed. I saw Sinister in the theater with my friend at like 3pm and came out of the theater scared shitless. Those tapes are a thing of genius.
For me, my biggest issue for FvJ was how they treated Jason. The make up was terrible. The lazy eye choice made him look sleepy. Then they added in his fear of water...which he does not and never has had. Sometimes I think the reason Kane Hodder was replaced was because they knew he was never gonna let that fly. He took Jason pretty serious and that water choice went against the narrative we've had for 10 movies. Haven't finished the video but didn't wanna lose that thought haha
I disagree, I think that added more character to Jason than any of the Friday the 13th films gave him. And it made it that much more fulfilling when he kicks the shit out of Freddyin the real world.
I see both sides to the water argument. I took the water fear as a personal fighting inward of himself. Since it was a dream sequence, I felt it was an insight as to Jason fearing the water because he couldn’t swim or control how he handles it. Also it gives a possibility of what he maybe dealt with in his mind. If Jason has a focus then he is good in the real world. But since he was dreaming it was a situation where he wasn’t in control
JAWS IS 100 percent a horror movie! The book is even more intense and the whole reason it was created. To this day some of the people that worked on the original still feel bad about making the great white shark a horror icon and like Cody said people are still scared to go to far out in the ocean.
i was so paranoid when i watched T2 as a 7 year old, i legit kept having to turn around because i thought the cushions on the couch would turn into the T-1000 😂
@@husker4life109it’s not a horror movie. Slashers really don’t have a plot at all. On the other hand, the terminator does have a plot. Using your logic I guess there’s lots of action movies that should be classified as horror because of the kills lol
7:44 Yoo, there I am!!! Thanks for reading my hot take, Cody!! You're the man! Also, you brought up a bunch of great points with your preferred timeline! Thanks again for reading my hot take!
The main problem with Jason Voorhees is he's too similar to Michael Myers. A silent masked stalking killer who can't die and is super strong. The problem is they need to focus more on what makes them different. The biggest difference is that Jason is a tortured kid suffering the mental ramifications of his past. Michael is a soulless empty husk of a person. Jason kills because he's territorial and vengeful. Michael kills because it's just what he does. The movies TRY to focus on this aspect of Jason with constant reminders that he drowned and constant references to his mom, but they never amount to anything substantial with him as a character. This is the biggest reason I love the 2009 remake, because it showed us more of this side of Jason. Not just how terriying he can be, but he holds a girl hostage BECAUSE she reminds him of his mom. It presents a new dilemma where he's dealing with emotions he doesn't understand while the plot unfolds. A future Friday the 13th property NEEDS to lean into this stuff more to stand out from Michael and become the icon people want him to be. Make Jason an actual character, not just a Michael copycat. Let him feel new things, let characters explore new territory with him, let his sentience, trauma, experience, and need for someone to actually give a shit about him fuel a narrative.
Thanks for including my hot take! To give some context to it, Halloween 2018 was the first Halloween film I saw. I still love the 1978 original but I just prefer JJC as Michael and the kills are gnarly in 2018. I dug the story and the way Laurie is portrayed. It’s kinda a comfort movie for me lol
Ends has merit, sure. but I agree with Cody 1000% on his analysis. Ends failed to live up to the marketing and conclusion of the Trilogy. I don't mind it being unique but this movie could have been the second part of the trilogy or part of anthology of some sort.
Ends is my favorite of the flawed Halloween 2018 trilogy, but I completely agree that it was not a good fit for that trilogy. Honestly, I would have preferred had they had Ends focus on Michael, and then come back to the franchise several years later with Corey's story, where he finds the mask and snaps.
I mean the original Halloween has some comedy moments. Loomis and the Sheriff talking about Myers and then he drives off behind them like he heard they were looking for him. That's hilarious to me
speed kills, jerk! is funny. hell annie's whole character is comedic relief. oh nothing, just getting ripped apart by the family dog. then lindsay tells annie's bf that she got stuck. it's funny stuff.
If you think about it, the scream series is in a way in anthology series. Always different killers, taking up the same mantle, and there have been different settings in main characters
My preferred Halloween timeline is 1, 2, and 4. I think it would have been great if the new trilogy retconned 5 and continued the story of Rachel. Rachel was awesome and underutilized.
@@JQUE94 H20 was originally even supposed to be a sequel to H6 Pcut and therefore part of the OG timeline. H20 without H4-H6 Pcut makes no sense in so many parts. Like why let Loomis survive the explosion only to be dead either way. Why have the same "death" for Laurie as in the OG timeline. Same with them saying they never found Michael's body which made no sense at all with him only being a normal psycho instead of a supernatural demon, that he was more or less through Thorn. No normal psycho survives burning to a crisp and then comes back as if he was never injured in the first place. Then him also looking like Wilbur's Michael looked like in H6 Pcut in H20's first kill scene. All those make no sense as they are. Wouldn't have cared which way it would have been a sequel to the OG timeline (if it was from H4 or H6 Pcut), because it would at least have made sense. Even though they would have had to explain the absense of Rachel and Jamie, if they had made it as a sequel to H4 (ignoring 5 and 6 Pcut).
We might get something like that in the near future. If rumors are true, then we will get an H4.5, also a sequel to H4 that takes place in the current day with Rachel and jamie back. But hopefully they do the characters justice and let Michael be the way he was supposed to be. Even H4's writer and director didn't see him as pure evil and him having no personality is what makes the later movies so boring. But I can't wait for a Jamie movie. Hopefully they go deeper into their mind connection thing, maybe even use it as a way to stop the evil inside Michael.
I agree but make it the Scream franchise. 40-something white dudes fucking CIRCLE JERK about the Scream franchise, and of course there were those creepy white kids who killed a girl in “Scream style.” Still love both franchises!
I'm still bummed we never got a sequel to the 2009 Friday remake, especially after I read about the planned zip line kill and having the summer camp being open and functioning in a sequel.
scream is essentially a soap opera series at this point, but i think that’s what makes it GOOD. turning it into an anthology series would ruin that element.
Friday the 13th (2009) is also one of my favorites from the franchise. I don't enjoy a majority of the sequels. Especially since some of them blend into one another. The first film also blatantly ripping off Halloween was so funny to me. Like, you took the concept and just changed a couple things around and you made a smash horror hit.
Yeah, Kane Hodder is amazing, and it was a bad choice to recast. Because like it or not, Kane Hodder is Jason. Even if you prefer others, it's undisputed.
Like you, Cody, Chucky was one of my gateways into horror. I was born in 83. So I was a little kid that was scared of Freddy and Jason before I ever tried to get through one of their movies. I remember seeing the TV spots and for Child's Play in 88 and being scared just from the trailers. It was Child's Play 2 that made me feel brave enough to check out the first one. Having a protagonist like Andy, who was around my age at the time, got me into more horror. I love that series, and like you, I enjoy the 2019 remake. Hot Take: I think The People Under The Stairs is one of the best horror films of the 1990s. One more: Friday The 13th 1980 is a four star horror classic. I know it's boring to you. I've seen you're review and I enjoyed every one of those Friday The 13 reviews. I'm never bored when I watch it. I love everything about it. I love that era of movies. Shlocky, low-budget but edgy for the time. I enjoy the characters in that one alot. It's not better than part 4, but it is up there, for me.
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the original and it did what it set out to do. I makes me uncomfortable especially the end. I can't have fun with it. The remake I can have fun with.
Finally someone else who likes Rob Zombies Halloween! The opening sequence is great and the actor who plays young Michael is so talented (and as an added bonus- Sherri only has a small role here)
I think Joe Bob Briggs explained the thriller/horror issue in a good way. Paraphrasing here it was something to the extent of “thriller” is what critics call a horror movie that’s really good because they don’t want to associate it with a genre they look down on.
This was a really great video! I really enjoy hearing the different opinions people have for horror movies and hearing their different perspectives on them. Looking forward to part 2 of this!
I saw the CP reboot in theaters and since i bought it and rewatched the movie a few more times on DVD, i prefer it to be slightly better than the original Child’s Play.
I actually watched the remake Dawn of the Dead before the original. I watched the original a couple years back and felllll in love with it. It’s hard for me to pick which one I like better.
"...at least I hope so, otherwise we got a fucked up year ahead of us." With Borderlands, and The Crow, yes, we, infact, had a fucked up year ahead of us.
As a kid who went to summer camp and spent a lot of time in the woods during the Eighties, the Friday movies terrified me, and they are still comfort food for me. I even loved the comedy of Jason X and bought all the books from that universe. My mother watched the original Friday for the first time at 83 years young and thought it was great. I guess the love of some franchises is just in the blood.❤
Sometimes I think the charm to the F13 franchise was that old, cheap, made-in-the-woods feel. It was of its time. Too much polish and it's something else.
Typing as we go through the video. * Scream as an anthology - the TV series went down that route, though only the first anthology that covered the opening two seasons was any good. * Jason Goes to Hell is a good, fun horror movie, it's just a great Friday the 13th / Jason movie. Had it been a body-hopping horror with a bespoke demon it would likely have been better received. I will say though that the opening scene is PEAK Friday and Creighton Duke is a fantastic character. Oh, and it did give us our first Freddy vs. Jason on-screen tease. * Halloween Ends was a film I genuinely enjoyed and appreciate what they tried to do. I mean, Michael is evil incarnate, but that doesn't mean he is the only evil that exists. It also ends with Michael so bookends his story with a definitive conclusion. * Kane Hodder in Jason X (pre-upgrade) has my favourite look and mask of all the versions. Derek Mears absolutely nailed it in the remake too, which is my second favourite in the franchise. * Horror covers so much of the broad strokes and while it is subjective, it is not as narrow a definition as some people consider it to be. Shit, for me The Terminator is a horror (slasher) film with an unstoppable killer who keeps getting up (even when all of its skin is burned off), a final girl, and a last stand duel between the two. * People watching remakes before the original is likely to be more common as we time passes and more films are remade. Like Cody, I am fascinated by the views of those who watched things in the "wrong" order, with a great example being older people like myself who watched the Star Wars movies in release order at the time of their release compared to those just starting now who can watch all of them in event chronological order. * Freddy's Dead is not a good movie. I did appreciate the idea of venturing into Freddy's mind, and the gimmick of the character putting on her 3D glasses as the cue for the audience to do the same was pretty damn sweet, plus the "First they tried burning me..." and cutting fingers monologue was great too. * Dawn of the Dead remake is the one I prefer though I do enjoy the original too. Fast zombies are my preferred version and THAT opening is iconic. * I used to think that Freddy being innocent of the crimes he was accused would have been an interest way to take it, with his dream killing being a gross overreaction, but Cody said it would have given him too much sympathy. My perfect "backstory" is Freddy's opening catch-up in FvJ where he talks about "my children" and why he needs Jason. * I love that the Evil Dead movies (from ED2 on) are basically different genre takes on the same general concept. All of them are great though. * Child's Play is a great series of movies and only SoC lets the side down. Curse/Cult of Chucky are also at the top of end when it comes to quality. Child's Play 3 was erroneously linked to an horrific murder in the UK in 1993, resulting in the film (and in some cases the entire trilogy) being removed from video stars and banned from being broadcast on TV.
I loved this idea for a video. It’s great to see the community come together and discuss these sorts of topics. Even when you disagreed you did so respectfully but with a bit of the dry wit we’ve come to appreciate. Thanks as always for the great content Cody.
"Halloween started the slashers franchise in 1978" they say Psycho-1969 Black christmas-1974 Texas chainsaw massacre also 1974 And dont tell me they arent slashers whats norman doing with that knife, slashing. What was billy doing to the sorority sisters... Slashing them, what happend to sally hardenskys brother... Slashed... Chainsaw style
@@thomasffrench3639 thats kinda avoiding the question that that could be nothing more than greater exposure and more awareness as the world became more and more integrated with pop culture and watching movies and tv more hours weekly, if thats the only reason than I think its just an arbitrary statement, if anything what started the boom was the response to Halloween in f13 which triggered Halloween 2 and back and forth I think there peeing contest is what started it not just Halloween really
@@thomasffrench3639 cody has also stated that black Christmas deserves the recognition Halloween gets, and he doesn't say that about Texas chainsaw id love to hear him explain why it's not a slasher I'm sure he's got a good explanation
I didnt see this till today but my hot takes are Jeepers Creepers has the most intense opening sequence of all time and is a masterpiece of tension and getting you to care about the characters. The butterfly effect is absolutely a horror movie and has always terrified me.
I love those first three Chucky movies but my ultimate favorite Chucky movie is the Bride of Chucky for me adding Jennifer Tilly to the franchise was an absolute outstanding decision Chucky is still most awesome but Tiffany's almost as evil as chuckster is one of the best slasher movies ever made.
You have delivered a lot of funny one-liners, but "oh my God, is he going to deliver the pizza" is my absolute favorite. And your face and gesture when you said it m, hilarious!!!! 😂
That baffles my mind as well. Horror had MANY differnet sub genres, movies like Seven, Alien, Silence of the Lambs are DEFINETLY horror movies. And if you say otherwise you need a life. Period. Also Im a diehard Fth13 fan, and the remake is my 3rd favorite one.
I could see how it could classify as psychological horror, but I always think of Silence of the Lambs as more of a thriller than anything. I actually don't see how anyone can deny Alien is a horror movie, though.
The saw movies as a whole are pretty underrated I feel like especially watching them for the first time when I was younger the twists hit super hard and to me they always felt a lot more like a dark drawn out detective story than they felt like torture porn
Hot Take: Rob Zombie deserves to make Halloween 3 Just like how Andrew Garfield deserves an Amazing Spider-Man 3, which, come to think of it, the Rob Zombie Halloween movies are the Amazing Spider-Man movies of the Halloween franchise
@@CodyLeachYT True, and I’m sure the negative feedback towards the two films doesn’t help either, or to all his movies for that matter, probably why we haven’t seen a Rob Zombie movie in a while 😭
I still dont really know how i feel about Halloween Ends but i know this much... watching that movie in the theater ive never been more focused and invested on keeping up with what was going on and where it was going. Confused but intrigued 100%.
I watched the remake last month and there are a couple of roles that should've been switched. The only performance I hated in the film was Julia Stiles performance as the mother. Reason being It was a little too wooden.
Unbelievably entertaining as always Cody. Man as a kid the mom getting ripped through the tiny window really freaked me out, but what was I thinking? Pretty bad in retrospect. Maybe the grainy VHS and bad TVs from back in the day helped
The reason movies like alien terminator and predator are soo iconic and classic movies is because they don’t have a set genre. The reasonz that have struggled since the original is because they tried to fit them into a genre. What made them so iconic is that they were the perfect mix of action horror and syfi. I wish more movies mixed genres like that instead of just making a strictly horror movie or strictly action
Halloween original is excellent, but yeah it's overrated. It has this weird reputation of being the only slasher film that is worthy of being considered one of the best horror films ever when it has some flaws, even ones that would be improved in other slashers such as acting and story. It is an excellent Twilight Zone esque slasher film with great suspense and tension building with the film direction and music, but there's other slasher films that are scarier, better written, and more complete than Halloween. But since many of those films have gore, they are just considered exploitation trash. One of the best in the slasher genre for sure, but it's not worlds better than other slashers just because John Carpenter directed it, and it doesn't "need" gore.
Love the concept of this type of video and it's an awesome idea for interacting with your audience and launching a discussion, however there is quite a bit of discussion around the same movies! Think for next time (hoping there is one) it would be a nicer idea to broaden the discussion further than Halloween/F13/Chucky/NOES as it felt quite heavy on those ones. Keep up the good content man, I'm fairly new to your channel and really enjoying your shtick!
In the very first Friday the 13th with Mrs Voorhees tearing the cabin apart looking for the final girl who was hidden in the closet that was freaking terrifying
He still is in my opinion. The only villian that has no back story or any known weakness! The third and fourth movies were trash, but the creeper itself is still a top scary villian
32:25 Yep, there quite a few flicks that the remake is better to me than the original. "Let me in" is one, The girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Dune (of course), Funny Games (yet they are pretty much the same). The Ring, The Grudge... from the top of my head. The New Hellraiser also needs more appreciation.
Coming from someone who is a life long fan , the 2009 Friday the 13th is the best in the franchise. I still hold out hope that the next time Jason is on screen they bring back Derek Meers because he is my all time favorite Jason as well .
I always wanted kane hodder back as jason for FVJ but I accepted the recasting and Ken kerzinger did a great job, but after watching kane hodders documentary : TO HELL AND BACK and watching him cry from not getting the role.......that made me cry and wish even more that he would of played Jason in Freddy vs Jason
And to think that he wasn't even told by the makers of FvJ that he would be recast, but he found out about the movie even been made when the trailers came out. No wonder he reacted that way. I would feel betrayed and cry as well, if something like that happened to me and they don't even have the guts to tell you something face to face.
If there’s ever a new addition to the Halloween franchise, I would love to see a New Nightmare type movie for Halloween, like every Halloween movie (besides Halloween 3 season of the witch) are just movies and they are getting ready to make a new Halloween movie that’s the usual formula as the ones prior, but the masks for the movie are made by the Silver Shamrock company, and obviously something evil comes about from this. This could be set in the same universe or even be a sequel to Season of the Witch, where in that movie Halloween was just a movie as well.
•I like Uber Jason in Jason X and Jason vs Carrie (part 7) 🔥🔥 •Rob Zombie Halloween aren’t bar, they scare the piss outta me😂😂😂😂 •Freddy vs Jason is peak !!! Just ignore water being Jasons weakness •James Wan def 50/50 i see (i love em🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️)
As a member of the LGBTQIA community, I completely agree with what you say about the Glen/Glenda character in Seed Of Chucky. It is very dangerous to equate gender identity confusion with homicidal ideation. I admit I enjoy Seed Of Chucky, but that is not the best representation! I think people appreciate that Mancini was exploring these themes well ahead of its time without realising he was doing it very clunkily.
Josh Hartnett is in a new M. Night serial killer movie, Trap, later this year. Rumor has it that it's a secret sequel like Split. Maybe that's it. It's a sequel to H20. He is Michael's kin after all.
I would have loved Cody to react to my hot take: Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning is my favorite horror movie of all time. And you dont have to watch the remake to understand it in the slightest
A hot take you’ll hate me for is Saw 3D being my favorite. The negatives are it shouldn’t be a 3D movie, Bobby’s wife should have lived, and more Tobin Bell. Positives are that the story is engaging and unique, the traps are good, great deaths, felt the shortest because it jumped from place to place well taking its time, funny moments, and scared me at a few points. If those issues were fixed it would have been perfect.
Here is what is probably going to be a really spicy take. I like you prefer the IT mini-series to IT Chapter Two. I think the 1990 version told the story way better. Chapter Two relied too much on CGI instead of letting the actors tell the story. I don't hate the final "spider" effect like you do, but don't deny it could look better. I hated the whole Bill faked being sick "retcon" because there was NO hint that was the case in Chapter One. To me it ruined his character, and ruined his character arc as a whole. Georgie was not some unimportant story detail that didn't matter in the second half. It should not have taken 1 hour and 20 some odd minutes before Bill even uttered his little brother's name. He did not need to see some random kid get killed to want to go after Pennywise/IT. He should have been out for vengeance, the moment he even remembered his littler brother's murder, especially since he didn't accept Georgie was dead till the end of Chapter One. My hottest take for IT Chapter Two has to be that as far I am concerned, Bill Hader was extremely overrated. I found him to be extremely annoying most of the time he was on screen. The only scene I got a slight chuckle was his Jabba impression. The rest of his comedy was way too much, and it ruined the flow of the movie for me. While I didn't think that Finn Wolfhard and Jack Dylan Grazer were the end all be all of Chapter One, they did work together with the rest of the ensemble. To me the cast member that impressed me the most was Jackson Robert Scott. He did such a great job portraying Georgie and IT pretending to be Georgie, very well. A talent he showed later with even greater results in The Prodigy, and Locke & Key Season 3. He genuinely gave me the absolute creeps when he was hiding in the corner in the "You'll Float Too" scene before the hamburger helper CGI. I wonder what he was thinking about for that facial expression he had, cause it was creepy.
I like Tim Curry's version better because he did look threatening til he wanted to look threatening. The remake Pennywise was always threatening. If I saw him in the sewer I would say F*** my paper boat. Lol
The point of movies being apart of the “ slasher “ genre is that the killer in those movies uses a slashing weapon like knife or machete or sword etc …
I love 3. I love the backstory with Maureen. It was weird the storyline actually turned to real life. He even reminds me of Weinstein. Hope this comment doesn't get removed. 😂😂😂
please do an entire series of this kinda thing, you actually have hilarious opinions on other people's takes
I agree
Abso-tootle-fucking-lutely....much agree!!!!
I don't think I would say Scream should have gone anthology after the original, but I think the series absolutely lends itself to a more anthology form. At this point staying too close to the same characters is holding it back.
I disagree, I think what’s holding Scream back is the gimmick meta stuff.
@@NuMetalfan1996that’s pretty much the whole point of the franchise. It was doing Shrek & Deadpool before they did it

The gimmick is now over played to death now.
Why continue a gimmick that’s now been done to death?.
Give me a good story.
@@NuMetalfan1996 sounds like you want a good story. 2nd had a really good one imo & so did the 4th, 5 & 6 were solid & 3 was intriguing, there’s only so much you can do story wise with a slasher. I’d argue other slasher franchises are as if not more creatively bankrupt
But yes the story would be much better if at this point(really should’ve been since after 4) they stopped focusing on Sydney & those surrounding characters, which goes back to Sean’s point that yes that is the biggest problem the franchise has is focusing on them.
The story isn’t mediocre because of the meta, if anything that enhances the mediocre parts at time. Meta has always been apart of Scream’s identity which differentiates it from other horror franchises & gave it a uniqueness, they’re also one of the first satire franchises & an early piece of mainstream satire.
The problem with the stories is the focus, not the gimmick
And at this point the amount of Ghostfaces is ridiculous. Why do so many people in the Scream universe want to copycat 2 crazy teens like Billy and Stu?
If Jason didn’t start wearing the hockey mask which became a Halloween costume icon, Friday the 13th would just be an average horror film series
Filled with mostly B films as well, like Friday fans act like they're on some sort of high horse lol
….you would still have two really popular and successful movies though? With Kevin Bacon in one of his first roles and Tom Savini being incredible.
I liked the bag head 👻
Freddy vs. Jason gang 🙏🙏 it's so much dumb fun, they finally made Freddy scary-comedic again for the first time since Dream Warriors, and the metal-tinged soundtrack goes so hard!
Also when it is freddy vs jason it's so fucking metal.
Yeah the soundtrack is amazing
First movie i ever saw in theaters, i was 4 years old and i vividly remember seeing it with my dad
I love Freddy vs Jason. It’s a horror comedy and did a great job weaving the two franchises together lore-wise.

The musical score is bone chilling. Great fucking movie.
The writing is awful, and the people are all stupid. But man, that’s one of only a few movies ever that made me truly unnerved. Good stuff.
That's the last horror movie that made me unnerved.
Even Hereditary didn't do that
Absolutely agreed. I saw Sinister in the theater with my friend at like 3pm and came out of the theater scared shitless. Those tapes are a thing of genius.
Yeah dude, people regard Sinister as one of the best horror movies of the 21st Century.

Which hot take was your's?
The 1st Halloween and the first Friday the 13th hot take
For me, my biggest issue for FvJ was how they treated Jason. The make up was terrible. The lazy eye choice made him look sleepy. Then they added in his fear of water...which he does not and never has had. Sometimes I think the reason Kane Hodder was replaced was because they knew he was never gonna let that fly. He took Jason pretty serious and that water choice went against the narrative we've had for 10 movies.
Haven't finished the video but didn't wanna lose that thought haha
I thought Freddy looked like a joke too. It’s so far from the original film.
Ted White was the best Jason
I disagree, I think that added more character to Jason than any of the Friday the 13th films gave him. And it made it that much more fulfilling when he kicks the shit out of Freddyin the real world.
Jasons eye has always looks disfigured
I see both sides to the water argument. I took the water fear as a personal fighting inward of himself. Since it was a dream sequence, I felt it was an insight as to Jason fearing the water because he couldn’t swim or control how he handles it. Also it gives a possibility of what he maybe dealt with in his mind. If Jason has a focus then he is good in the real world. But since he was dreaming it was a situation where he wasn’t in control
JAWS IS 100 percent a horror movie! The book is even more intense and the whole reason it was created. To this day some of the people that worked on the original still feel bad about making the great white shark a horror icon and like Cody said people are still scared to go to far out in the ocean.
Its scared far more people than most horror films
@@headshot217 EXACTLY
The first Terminator is a borderline Horror film. I remember as a kid not feeling scared but paranoid after watching it.
i was so paranoid when i watched T2 as a 7 year old, i legit kept having to turn around because i thought the cushions on the couch would turn into the T-1000 😂
Its not borderline horror, it is horror. Arnold is an unstoppable killer and sarah connor is a final girl, its basically a slasher movie.
It’s a slasher, as is Predator.
@@zstevens7 It's more of a monster movie as it is a robot that acts like Jaws.
@@husker4life109it’s not a horror movie. Slashers really don’t have a plot at all. On the other hand, the terminator does have a plot. Using your logic I guess there’s lots of action movies that should be classified as horror because of the kills lol
7:44 Yoo, there I am!!! Thanks for reading my hot take, Cody!! You're the man! Also, you brought up a bunch of great points with your preferred timeline! Thanks again for reading my hot take!
The main problem with Jason Voorhees is he's too similar to Michael Myers. A silent masked stalking killer who can't die and is super strong. The problem is they need to focus more on what makes them different. The biggest difference is that Jason is a tortured kid suffering the mental ramifications of his past. Michael is a soulless empty husk of a person. Jason kills because he's territorial and vengeful. Michael kills because it's just what he does. The movies TRY to focus on this aspect of Jason with constant reminders that he drowned and constant references to his mom, but they never amount to anything substantial with him as a character. This is the biggest reason I love the 2009 remake, because it showed us more of this side of Jason. Not just how terriying he can be, but he holds a girl hostage BECAUSE she reminds him of his mom. It presents a new dilemma where he's dealing with emotions he doesn't understand while the plot unfolds. A future Friday the 13th property NEEDS to lean into this stuff more to stand out from Michael and become the icon people want him to be. Make Jason an actual character, not just a Michael copycat. Let him feel new things, let characters explore new territory with him, let his sentience, trauma, experience, and need for someone to actually give a shit about him fuel a narrative.
Thanks for including my hot take!
To give some context to it, Halloween 2018 was the first Halloween film I saw. I still love the 1978 original but I just prefer JJC as Michael and the kills are gnarly in 2018. I dug the story and the way Laurie is portrayed. It’s kinda a comfort movie for me lol
Ends has merit, sure. but I agree with Cody 1000% on his analysis. Ends failed to live up to the marketing and conclusion of the Trilogy. I don't mind it being unique but this movie could have been the second part of the trilogy or part of anthology of some sort.
Ends is my favorite of the flawed Halloween 2018 trilogy, but I completely agree that it was not a good fit for that trilogy. Honestly, I would have preferred had they had Ends focus on Michael, and then come back to the franchise several years later with Corey's story, where he finds the mask and snaps.
8:16 I actually agree with that one. The newest Halloween continuity had an actual beginning, middle and end and wasn't scrapped a couple of films in.
28:52 Yep, Malignant is quite underrated IMO. Love the practicality of it. Kudos to the Zoe Bell, spectacular.
I mean the original Halloween has some comedy moments. Loomis and the Sheriff talking about Myers and then he drives off behind them like he heard they were looking for him. That's hilarious to me
speed kills, jerk! is funny. hell annie's whole character is comedic relief.
oh nothing, just getting ripped apart by the family dog. then lindsay tells annie's bf that she got stuck. it's funny stuff.
If you think about it, the scream series is in a way in anthology series. Always different killers, taking up the same mantle, and there have been different settings in main characters
Seed of Chucky is bad but I always laugh when Chucky starts chuckling after Glen/Glenda says “Shitface” 🤣
😊😊😊
Also the way Glen/Glenda says Shitface is funny af.
@@HunterOfGremlins98 yes it is! I’m guilty of laughing at a lot of that stupid movie 🤷🏻♂️
"It looks like the kid fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down."
@@Xehanort10lmao or “judging by dat face, my guess is they’re hiding.” like SIR YO FACE IS ALL CUT UP DONT EVEN GET SASSY😅
My preferred Halloween timeline is 1, 2, and 4. I think it would have been great if the new trilogy retconned 5 and continued the story of Rachel. Rachel was awesome and underutilized.
100% agree with this. The ending of 4 is an all-timer, and it's bologna that they didn't have the balls to stick with it for part 5.
On the plus side they killed off Tina.
I agree, also I think they could have got creative and found a way to connect H20 to that H1,H2 and H4 timeline
@@JQUE94 H20 was originally even supposed to be a sequel to H6 Pcut and therefore part of the OG timeline. H20 without H4-H6 Pcut makes no sense in so many parts. Like why let Loomis survive the explosion only to be dead either way. Why have the same "death" for Laurie as in the OG timeline.
Same with them saying they never found Michael's body which made no sense at all with him only being a normal psycho instead of a supernatural demon, that he was more or less through Thorn. No normal psycho survives burning to a crisp and then comes back as if he was never injured in the first place.
Then him also looking like Wilbur's Michael looked like in H6 Pcut in H20's first kill scene.
All those make no sense as they are.
Wouldn't have cared which way it would have been a sequel to the OG timeline (if it was from H4 or H6 Pcut), because it would at least have made sense. Even though they would have had to explain the absense of Rachel and Jamie, if they had made it as a sequel to H4 (ignoring 5 and 6 Pcut).
We might get something like that in the near future. If rumors are true, then we will get an H4.5, also a sequel to H4 that takes place in the current day with Rachel and jamie back. But hopefully they do the characters justice and let Michael be the way he was supposed to be. Even H4's writer and director didn't see him as pure evil and him having no personality is what makes the later movies so boring.
But I can't wait for a Jamie movie. Hopefully they go deeper into their mind connection thing, maybe even use it as a way to stop the evil inside Michael.
the scariest part of halloween is the die hard fan boys 💀
From my experience, they try making Halloween into something it's not, like calling Michael Myers "Lovecraftian", pfft.
@@ActivistBatonVI They just cannot accept that Halloween is a B-movie.
Halloween the most overrated movie ever made
@@harryparsons2750*friday the 13th*
I agree but make it the Scream franchise. 40-something white dudes fucking CIRCLE JERK about the Scream franchise, and of course there were those creepy white kids who killed a girl in “Scream style.” Still love both franchises!
I made the thumbnail😭😂
Slow clap 👏
Nice!
Good job 🎉🎉
Nuh Unh
lol he just said fuck this robert guy
I'm still bummed we never got a sequel to the 2009 Friday remake, especially after I read about the planned zip line kill and having the summer camp being open and functioning in a sequel.
When Cody is so passionate about Freddy he stares through your soul @41:41 . Love this video it was alot of fun to watch!
Love this video, please do more. I would love if it was even a longer video
Omg, is he going to deliver the Pizza had me ROFL 😂😂😂
scream is essentially a soap opera series at this point, but i think that’s what makes it GOOD. turning it into an anthology series would ruin that element.
Friday the 13th (2009) is also one of my favorites from the franchise. I don't enjoy a majority of the sequels. Especially since some of them blend into one another. The first film also blatantly ripping off Halloween was so funny to me. Like, you took the concept and just changed a couple things around and you made a smash horror hit.
Fr the friday movies suck
Yeah, Kane Hodder is amazing, and it was a bad choice to recast. Because like it or not, Kane Hodder is Jason. Even if you prefer others, it's undisputed.
Aww. I have Childs Play 2 as my favorite. The final confrontation in the Good Guy Dolls manufacturing warehouse? Beautfiul.
Like you, Cody, Chucky was one of my gateways into horror. I was born in 83. So I was a little kid that was scared of Freddy and Jason before I ever tried to get through one of their movies. I remember seeing the TV spots and for Child's Play in 88 and being scared just from the trailers. It was Child's Play 2 that made me feel brave enough to check out the first one. Having a protagonist like Andy, who was around my age at the time, got me into more horror. I love that series, and like you, I enjoy the 2019 remake.
Hot Take: I think The People Under The Stairs is one of the best horror films of the 1990s.
One more: Friday The 13th 1980 is a four star horror classic. I know it's boring to you. I've seen you're review and I enjoyed every one of those Friday The 13 reviews. I'm never bored when I watch it. I love everything about it. I love that era of movies. Shlocky, low-budget but edgy for the time. I enjoy the characters in that one alot. It's not better than part 4, but it is up there, for me.
I was born in 1982 and I agree with pretty much everything you said
I agree with one of your BIGGEST hot takes, Cody....I think the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is better than the original
💯
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the original and it did what it set out to do. I makes me uncomfortable especially the end. I can't have fun with it. The remake I can have fun with.
Thats bc u have the worst opinion ever
@@bonniethebunny1006 nah it’s spot on.
Finally someone else who likes Rob Zombies Halloween! The opening sequence is great and the actor who plays young Michael is so talented (and as an added bonus- Sherri only has a small role here)
I liked it as well. The second one was hot garbage though.
I like Rob Zombie's take on it but I thought some of the dialogue went too far like the stepdad comments on his wife DAUGHTER'S ass. 😂😂
@@ambergerber5162 I also didn’t like the SA scene, felt like it was completely unnecessary
I thought it was absolute garbage. Let's make Micheal a giant. Talk about lack of creativity and turning him into something he is not.
I think Joe Bob Briggs explained the thriller/horror issue in a good way. Paraphrasing here it was something to the extent of “thriller” is what critics call a horror movie that’s really good because they don’t want to associate it with a genre they look down on.
This was a really great video! I really enjoy hearing the different opinions people have for horror movies and hearing their different perspectives on them. Looking forward to part 2 of this!
My Hot Take: I don't think the Child's Play 2019 Reboot is as bad as people think
It really isn't plus the fact we got a pretty good score from Bear McCreary.
Its great
I saw the CP reboot in theaters and since i bought it and rewatched the movie a few more times on DVD, i prefer it to be slightly better than the original Child’s Play.
It's my favorite then the original.
I actually watched the remake Dawn of the Dead before the original. I watched the original a couple years back and felllll in love with it. It’s hard for me to pick which one I like better.
20:48 His face got me laughing at the response.😂😂😂
46:06 wish this was the popular opinion
Also I feel like Saw 4-6 are very underrated storywise
"...at least I hope so, otherwise we got a fucked up year ahead of us."
With Borderlands, and The Crow, yes, we, infact, had a fucked up year ahead of us.
Have no idea if this is a hot take or not, but Jason X is the best "IN SPACE!!!" horror movie out there.
As a kid who went to summer camp and spent a lot of time in the woods during the Eighties, the Friday movies terrified me, and they are still comfort food for me. I even loved the comedy of Jason X and bought all the books from that universe. My mother watched the original Friday for the first time at 83 years young and thought it was great. I guess the love of some franchises is just in the blood.❤
Friday The 13th 2009 is one of the best F13 films
That really shouldn’t be as hot of a take as most consider it to be. A good chunk of Friday the 13th movies are crap
@@zanerinsane1574 i know I've always liked it
Sometimes I think the charm to the F13 franchise was that old, cheap, made-in-the-woods feel. It was of its time. Too much polish and it's something else.
THE best
@EpicZombieK I used to hate that movie. But once I re-watched the movie as an adult it became my favorite Friday movie. And I'm a huge Friday Fan.
Typing as we go through the video.
* Scream as an anthology - the TV series went down that route, though only the first anthology that covered the opening two seasons was any good.
* Jason Goes to Hell is a good, fun horror movie, it's just a great Friday the 13th / Jason movie. Had it been a body-hopping horror with a bespoke demon it would likely have been better received. I will say though that the opening scene is PEAK Friday and Creighton Duke is a fantastic character. Oh, and it did give us our first Freddy vs. Jason on-screen tease.
* Halloween Ends was a film I genuinely enjoyed and appreciate what they tried to do. I mean, Michael is evil incarnate, but that doesn't mean he is the only evil that exists. It also ends with Michael so bookends his story with a definitive conclusion.
* Kane Hodder in Jason X (pre-upgrade) has my favourite look and mask of all the versions. Derek Mears absolutely nailed it in the remake too, which is my second favourite in the franchise.
* Horror covers so much of the broad strokes and while it is subjective, it is not as narrow a definition as some people consider it to be. Shit, for me The Terminator is a horror (slasher) film with an unstoppable killer who keeps getting up (even when all of its skin is burned off), a final girl, and a last stand duel between the two.
* People watching remakes before the original is likely to be more common as we time passes and more films are remade. Like Cody, I am fascinated by the views of those who watched things in the "wrong" order, with a great example being older people like myself who watched the Star Wars movies in release order at the time of their release compared to those just starting now who can watch all of them in event chronological order.
* Freddy's Dead is not a good movie. I did appreciate the idea of venturing into Freddy's mind, and the gimmick of the character putting on her 3D glasses as the cue for the audience to do the same was pretty damn sweet, plus the "First they tried burning me..." and cutting fingers monologue was great too.
* Dawn of the Dead remake is the one I prefer though I do enjoy the original too. Fast zombies are my preferred version and THAT opening is iconic.
* I used to think that Freddy being innocent of the crimes he was accused would have been an interest way to take it, with his dream killing being a gross overreaction, but Cody said it would have given him too much sympathy. My perfect "backstory" is Freddy's opening catch-up in FvJ where he talks about "my children" and why he needs Jason.
* I love that the Evil Dead movies (from ED2 on) are basically different genre takes on the same general concept. All of them are great though.
* Child's Play is a great series of movies and only SoC lets the side down. Curse/Cult of Chucky are also at the top of end when it comes to quality. Child's Play 3 was erroneously linked to an horrific murder in the UK in 1993, resulting in the film (and in some cases the entire trilogy) being removed from video stars and banned from being broadcast on TV.
I thought Katie Cassidy was really good in the nightmare remake,she should have survived and been the final girl.
27:37 Well, I can say the same. "The Shinning" is an example of it, maybe cause I was about 6y/o when I watched on VHS. Same thing with Evil Dead.
Cody, is great seeing you and Sean collaborate!
This is honestly my favourite video you've done. I absolutely loved this!
Do more of these every few months Cody these are gold 😂
I loved this idea for a video. It’s great to see the community come together and discuss these sorts of topics. Even when you disagreed you did so respectfully but with a bit of the dry wit we’ve come to appreciate. Thanks as always for the great content Cody.
"Halloween started the slashers franchise in 1978" they say
Psycho-1969
Black christmas-1974
Texas chainsaw massacre also 1974
And dont tell me they arent slashers whats norman doing with that knife, slashing. What was billy doing to the sorority sisters... Slashing them, what happend to sally hardenskys brother... Slashed... Chainsaw style
Yes, but the slasher boom started with Halloween. It made that style of stories it’s own genre
@@thomasffrench3639 what did It do that the others didnt (real question)
@@O.H.PbetterthanBenchPress started the slasher boom.
@@thomasffrench3639 thats kinda avoiding the question that that could be nothing more than greater exposure and more awareness as the world became more and more integrated with pop culture and watching movies and tv more hours weekly, if thats the only reason than I think its just an arbitrary statement, if anything what started the boom was the response to Halloween in f13 which triggered Halloween 2 and back and forth I think there peeing contest is what started it not just Halloween really
@@thomasffrench3639 cody has also stated that black Christmas deserves the recognition Halloween gets, and he doesn't say that about Texas chainsaw id love to hear him explain why it's not a slasher I'm sure he's got a good explanation
I didnt see this till today but my hot takes are
Jeepers Creepers has the most intense opening sequence of all time and is a masterpiece of tension and getting you to care about the characters.
The butterfly effect is absolutely a horror movie and has always terrified me.
I've always loved Freddy vs Jason. It's probably my favorite among both franchises lol.
I love videos like this, because I find it really interesting to hear a lot of unique opinions on media. I'd love to see more of them!
I love those first three Chucky movies but my ultimate favorite Chucky movie is the Bride of Chucky for me adding Jennifer Tilly to the franchise was an absolute outstanding decision Chucky is still most awesome but Tiffany's almost as evil as chuckster is one of the best slasher movies ever made.
Great movie and great soundtrack too
You have delivered a lot of funny one-liners, but "oh my God, is he going to deliver the pizza" is my absolute favorite. And your face and gesture when you said it m, hilarious!!!! 😂
That baffles my mind as well. Horror had MANY differnet sub genres, movies like Seven, Alien, Silence of the Lambs are DEFINETLY horror movies. And if you say otherwise you need a life. Period. Also Im a diehard Fth13 fan, and the remake is my 3rd favorite one.
I could see how it could classify as psychological horror, but I always think of Silence of the Lambs as more of a thriller than anything. I actually don't see how anyone can deny Alien is a horror movie, though.
The saw movies as a whole are pretty underrated I feel like especially watching them for the first time when I was younger the twists hit super hard and to me they always felt a lot more like a dark drawn out detective story than they felt like torture porn
Hot Take: Rob Zombie deserves to make Halloween 3
Just like how Andrew Garfield deserves an Amazing Spider-Man 3, which, come to think of it, the Rob Zombie Halloween movies are the Amazing Spider-Man movies of the Halloween franchise
I don’t think you could’ve paid him enough to do it. He despised making the other 2.
@@CodyLeachYT True, and I’m sure the negative feedback towards the two films doesn’t help either, or to all his movies for that matter, probably why we haven’t seen a Rob Zombie movie in a while 😭
Because they were garbage
6:25 IMO. if you count the tv show and scream 5-6 having different main characters. Scream is kinda an anthology at this point.
I still dont really know how i feel about Halloween Ends but i know this much... watching that movie in the theater ive never been more focused and invested on keeping up with what was going on and where it was going. Confused but intrigued 100%.
The Omen is interesting because it's basically shot for shot, so it is still a technically decent movie, so I can see why someone would like it.
Remake was the first I saw as well so I also love it I remember the trailer playing all the time. The original is Top 10 easy
I watched the remake last month and there are a couple of roles that should've been switched. The only performance I hated in the film was Julia Stiles performance as the mother. Reason being It was a little too wooden.
Phantasm NEEDS a remake! Time has gone by sense ravenger and its time to see a new take on The Tall Man!
Watched it a few weeks ago and loved it! I’m all for a remake as long as it’s not full of wokeness
They'd screw it up.
Courtney wanted killed off but Wes wouldn't allow it . I heard that a long time ago. Great video as always 😊💜🐾👍
Thank you for including my hot take in your video, Cody. Really appreciated your feedback. 😊
Unbelievably entertaining as always Cody. Man as a kid the mom getting ripped through the tiny window really freaked me out, but what was I thinking? Pretty bad in retrospect. Maybe the grainy VHS and bad TVs from back in the day helped
Black Christmas 1974 most certainly is better than Halloween 78. The dialogue alone is better...okay maybe its equal to Halloween 😉
The reason movies like alien terminator and predator are soo iconic and classic movies is because they don’t have a set genre. The reasonz that have struggled since the original is because they tried to fit them into a genre. What made them so iconic is that they were the perfect mix of action horror and syfi. I wish more movies mixed genres like that instead of just making a strictly horror movie or strictly action
Alien is definitely a horror film through and through. The sequel is a blend
Halloween original is excellent, but yeah it's overrated. It has this weird reputation of being the only slasher film that is worthy of being considered one of the best horror films ever when it has some flaws, even ones that would be improved in other slashers such as acting and story. It is an excellent Twilight Zone esque slasher film with great suspense and tension building with the film direction and music, but there's other slasher films that are scarier, better written, and more complete than Halloween. But since many of those films have gore, they are just considered exploitation trash. One of the best in the slasher genre for sure, but it's not worlds better than other slashers just because John Carpenter directed it, and it doesn't "need" gore.
Love the concept of this type of video and it's an awesome idea for interacting with your audience and launching a discussion, however there is quite a bit of discussion around the same movies! Think for next time (hoping there is one) it would be a nicer idea to broaden the discussion further than Halloween/F13/Chucky/NOES as it felt quite heavy on those ones.
Keep up the good content man, I'm fairly new to your channel and really enjoying your shtick!
I am tired of hearing about these movies, in particular Halloween, it makes me like the movies less, so I tune out when people discuss these movies.
He did say that this was for horror hot takes. Hopefully he does a movies in general version of this video.
Child play is 35 years old. The first movie came out in 1988.
In the very first Friday the 13th with Mrs Voorhees tearing the cabin apart looking for the final girl who was hidden in the closet that was freaking terrifying
Jeepers creepers had potential to be the #1 horror villian
He still is in my opinion. The only villian that has no back story or any known weakness! The third and fourth movies were trash, but the creeper itself is still a top scary villian
Yes, there is no way of escaping him once he targeted you
@@andrewpayne5093I dint think side villian being g “bad” just cus they had a back story
No
32:25 Yep, there quite a few flicks that the remake is better to me than the original. "Let me in" is one, The girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Dune (of course), Funny Games (yet they are pretty much the same). The Ring, The Grudge... from the top of my head. The New Hellraiser also needs more appreciation.
You should do more of these horror hot takes!!
Coming from someone who is a life long fan , the 2009 Friday the 13th is the best in the franchise. I still hold out hope that the next time Jason is on screen they bring back Derek Meers because he is my all time favorite Jason as well .
I always wanted kane hodder back as jason for FVJ but I accepted the recasting and Ken kerzinger did a great job, but after watching kane hodders documentary : TO HELL AND BACK and watching him cry from not getting the role.......that made me cry and wish even more that he would of played Jason in Freddy vs Jason
And to think that he wasn't even told by the makers of FvJ that he would be recast, but he found out about the movie even been made when the trailers came out. No wonder he reacted that way. I would feel betrayed and cry as well, if something like that happened to me and they don't even have the guts to tell you something face to face.
29:29 I really like that remake also. Along with Evil Dead 2013 (Big fan of that one) High hopes for Alien: Romulus just cause Alvarez.
If there’s ever a new addition to the Halloween franchise, I would love to see a New Nightmare type movie for Halloween, like every Halloween movie (besides Halloween 3 season of the witch) are just movies and they are getting ready to make a new Halloween movie that’s the usual formula as the ones prior, but the masks for the movie are made by the Silver Shamrock company, and obviously something evil comes about from this. This could be set in the same universe or even be a sequel to Season of the Witch, where in that movie Halloween was just a movie as well.
“if i was partaking in that substance then i would want some” lmaoo!
Thank you for using my hot take man! Appreciate the work you do!
Honestly lol......the only reason I kept watching the Saw movies, after Saw 2, was for the storyline 😂 Same with the Paranormal Activity movies 🤷♀️
•I like Uber Jason in Jason X and Jason vs Carrie (part 7) 🔥🔥
•Rob Zombie Halloween aren’t bar, they scare the piss outta me😂😂😂😂
•Freddy vs Jason is peak !!! Just ignore water being Jasons weakness
•James Wan def 50/50 i see (i love em🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️)
Jackie Earl Haley was a good Freddy Krueger with what he was given. It’s just that what he was given wasn’t good.
As a member of the LGBTQIA community, I completely agree with what you say about the Glen/Glenda character in Seed Of Chucky. It is very dangerous to equate gender identity confusion with homicidal ideation. I admit I enjoy Seed Of Chucky, but that is not the best representation! I think people appreciate that Mancini was exploring these themes well ahead of its time without realising he was doing it very clunkily.
I hope you plan on doing this again down the line Cody. As a delivery driver listening to this today , that hour flew by. Good shit man.
They should continue the Halloween H20 Timeline with Josh Hartnett and Michelle Williams!
Naw, it’s too late for that
I disagree. H20 ended perfectly, theres no need to continue it
Josh Hartnett is in a new M. Night serial killer movie, Trap, later this year. Rumor has it that it's a secret sequel like Split. Maybe that's it. It's a sequel to H20. He is Michael's kin after all.
@@stephanieann2094then Resurrection ruin it
Hartnett’s not in enough horror movies. The Faculty was my shit as a teen.
Thanks for including my comment about Dr. Sleep. Great video and I’m looking forward to the next one.👍
I would have loved Cody to react to my hot take:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning is my favorite horror movie of all time. And you dont have to watch the remake to understand it in the slightest
A hot take you’ll hate me for is Saw 3D being my favorite. The negatives are it shouldn’t be a 3D movie, Bobby’s wife should have lived, and more Tobin Bell. Positives are that the story is engaging and unique, the traps are good, great deaths, felt the shortest because it jumped from place to place well taking its time, funny moments, and scared me at a few points. If those issues were fixed it would have been perfect.
Jason Takes Manhattan is an expert-level commentary n the franchise, and i LOVE it.
Thanks for featuring my comment Cody. I may disagree with you on Jaws, but I love your content.
Here is what is probably going to be a really spicy take. I like you prefer the IT mini-series to IT Chapter Two. I think the 1990 version told the story way better. Chapter Two relied too much on CGI instead of letting the actors tell the story. I don't hate the final "spider" effect like you do, but don't deny it could look better. I hated the whole Bill faked being sick "retcon" because there was NO hint that was the case in Chapter One. To me it ruined his character, and ruined his character arc as a whole. Georgie was not some unimportant story detail that didn't matter in the second half. It should not have taken 1 hour and 20 some odd minutes before Bill even uttered his little brother's name. He did not need to see some random kid get killed to want to go after Pennywise/IT. He should have been out for vengeance, the moment he even remembered his littler brother's murder, especially since he didn't accept Georgie was dead till the end of Chapter One.
My hottest take for IT Chapter Two has to be that as far I am concerned, Bill Hader was extremely overrated. I found him to be extremely annoying most of the time he was on screen. The only scene I got a slight chuckle was his Jabba impression. The rest of his comedy was way too much, and it ruined the flow of the movie for me. While I didn't think that Finn Wolfhard and Jack Dylan Grazer were the end all be all of Chapter One, they did work together with the rest of the ensemble. To me the cast member that impressed me the most was Jackson Robert Scott. He did such a great job portraying Georgie and IT pretending to be Georgie, very well. A talent he showed later with even greater results in The Prodigy, and Locke & Key Season 3. He genuinely gave me the absolute creeps when he was hiding in the corner in the "You'll Float Too" scene before the hamburger helper CGI. I wonder what he was thinking about for that facial expression he had, cause it was creepy.
I like Tim Curry's version better because he did look threatening til he wanted to look threatening. The remake Pennywise was always threatening. If I saw him in the sewer I would say F*** my paper boat. Lol
Nice, I made it in the video and to also be the closing comment makes it even more awesome lol. Thanks for all the great content Cody 👍
I'll say original Friday has great jump scares for date night. Bacon and end of movie specifically
The point of movies being apart of the “ slasher “ genre is that the killer in those movies uses a slashing weapon like knife or machete or sword etc …
Please do more of these topics, it’s very entertaining
Always love your videos man. Good work. I hope you are doing well.
My hot take is that Scream 3 is not the worst of the franchise. Depending on my mood, I would pick it and put it on my Top 3 Scream films
When 6 is part of your franchise, gonna be pretty hard to say 3 is the worst 😅
I love 3. I love the backstory with Maureen. It was weird the storyline actually turned to real life. He even reminds me of Weinstein. Hope this comment doesn't get removed. 😂😂😂
