Wow, mom peaced out KNOWING that one of her kids (or grandkid) would have to take her place, or her husband would have to go on the Coward's registry?? Cold world, smdh lol
@@raymondcantrell5868I’m not sure she “came back” but they said they found her and she wanted to do the procedure at home but the guy said no, take her to headquarters. @neenee_b she may not have known they were still going to ask for another body. She may have just assumed she’d be in trouble, not everyone else.
It was also noted that the father convinced her to do it. It was never her idea. Also both mom and dad had no idea they would try to collect a second body anyway
Thank you guys for doing this! Just like Joseph said I was hoping for like an "elevated" Purge where the actual social ethics, consequences and banality of government-sanctioned evil could be explored alongside the horror, especially by another Cronenberg kid because I love Brandon's work so far. But this one sounds underwhelming. Maybe they should've leaned a lot more into dark humor/horror blend like a "Fall of the House of Usher" with euthanasia instead of a death curse! Great review! 👍
@@thelastknight1276 I think it was cause he was doing it for his “legacy” and wanted people to see what he did “a héroe “ , so by not including him, he did it for nothing
Really weird concept for a movie. I mean, sure, having corrupt body collectors, because they are just some poor subcontractors, that's realistic, but them thinking they can get away with that when it's a rich family sounds unlikely. Either the family would have to be less well off, or the collectors would have to be better equiped, maybe more like corrupt government agents that wanna erase the whole family for some reason... I really wonder how many young people would volunteer in that world, just to cancel their dept and end their own suffering. That would be more interesting. Also, how/when would the government rethink this approach, when all the menial labor jobs start having hiring problems cuz people feel they are better off dead?
finally watched this and felt it started pretty strong but was disappointed with how underwhelming it turned out. I was kind of hoping the adopted brother would be the only sibling left. 🤷
I will check it out when it starts streaming. I love David Cronenberg movies. This movie looks like a Cronenberg movie. So, a dark comedy done in the Cronenberg style, with his daughter directing sounds interesting. Not interesting enough to try and see it in the theater, but interesting enough. Cheers to another fun review!
Holy shit... That's HIM?! He looks sooo different without the eyebrows. It's truly wild to see all the actors we watched in the 80s and 90s aging. I knew it was coming, I'm just not ready 😭
I cannot stand watching horror movies or anything scary, creepy or remotely horror-adjacent but for some reason I love watching you review horror movies 🤩. I'm so pathetic I was scared by Interview with a Vampire in the 1990s!
@@jay-dubb.dubb.68we have a program called Maid or medical assistance in dying. Though i support it canada doesn't have the social supports to help people with disabilities and there have been cases of people using Maid because they can't afford to live with those lives.
Yes, they do. The Netherlands does also. I was following a case there involving a 30-something woman, who was appealing her euthanasia request which was denied three times (I believe). Finally, The Hague granted her the right to die. Her diagnosis: anorexia. I was sick over it for days. I am certain that is not why the euthanasia movement was created.
Hi Gentlemen!! Thank you for introducing this film to me and reviewing it! Sounds interesting, a Cronenburg baby's directorial debut!! 😮🎉 Might have to check this out. I finally ordered 3 Fish Jelly T-Shirts to "work" this summer!! I will be representing you guys and will occasionally be "Crunchy"!! I love that for me. 🥰 21:20 Hi kitty! 🐈
The premise is cool but seems to die out, literally, towards the end. I'd still watch it. If it leaned into some kind of Heaven's Gate plot where they all go and then regarded as some kind of twisted 'heroes' would have been better.
There's another Cronenberg in horror film??! I'm just here to like. Don't nobody tell me nothing until after this streams on Shudder in July unless it gets a random theatrical release somewhere near me. 🤞
Literally said halfway through the movie, I could care less who gets sacrificed, they’re all so unlikable. I was only rooting for the young daughter and the adopted brother was okay. Very underdeveloped and nonsensical
I didn’t think the daughter was being whiny or a brat. I found her to be observant, picking up on the guy doing this just for fun. I actually enjoyed their banter and wit back and forth. You wanting a literal child to understand how to manipulate a grown man, is a big ask. Also, I don’t think it’s in her character, her mom said she was getting bullied.
So many movies lately have been promising - If they just took a few more passes at it they would have been great versus meh. I really like dark comedies so I might still check this one out. Love the kitty popping up halfway through 😺 That teal jacket looks great on you, Joseph. Hope you're having fun at the film festival, Nick 🤗
Ngl, this was a very weak debute. I already knew there would be some politcal messaging in the movie and was willing to bear it, but not only did it have too much politcal bs, its was boring and made no logical sense. All the kids for the most part were SHIT humans. They were all horrible people except for ofc the adopted drug addicted crippled son. All those siblings turned on him at a moments notice. Dont worry tho, he has a black gf and we arent really gonna incorporate her inthe story until she is killed.....proving that bob is the the true villian. NOT THE 3 SIBLINGS LITERALLY TRYING TO KILL HIM for inheritance money. Tbh Bob may have been antaganizing, but these were also really horrible people who did really shitty things. Was quite a disappointment. I love the concept of this film, and if we focused more on the human interaction rather than this weird politcal bs, this movie couldve been horror movie of the year.
You give allowance for tolerance of "basic" bland people, if there was some intelligence to the characters - perhaps, the "horror" part was our participation in "rooting for" them anyway. Not a very likable plot!
Why did you think this was meant to be comedic? To me it was a straightforward thriller, and the social commentary not satire, just plain social commentary.
Half of these movies I haven’t seen and don’t plan on seeing. I just like watching you guys review stuff🤣🤣
I plan my day around watching yall's reviews.
They don’t hold back .
Low key this touched on my family
Dynamic, so it hit me. Interesting to hear your thoughts! Love y’all!!🖤

well that's not true she came back but Bob wanted them to kill each other bc he gets off on that it's more interesting than your synopsis

do you scoop your own shit and sniff it 😂
They didn’t even mention the Dad at the end , just the girl friend and sister.
im confused about that can you explain why
@@thelastknight1276 I think it was cause he was doing it for his “legacy” and wanted people to see what he did “a héroe “ , so by not including him, he did it for nothing
Yeah, I was confused at first he wasn’t added. But found in funny irregardless
@@mfconstructoractually, in the dinner he says he was not proud to have too many children and their reaction is amazing.
Because they couldn’t explain why a man would die with his daughter and her best friend.
They just set it up to explain why two young women had died

Wonder if this movie is part political statement, because Canada really has a government euthanasia program.
Really?!? 😮🎉
@@jay-dubb.dubb.68It's called MAID, Medical Assistance In Dying.

This feels like the Walmart clearance version of "Ready OR Not!"
I love you two😂. Great review.
How did bob magically pop back up in the end? I thought he died?
There's another Cronenberg in horror film??!
I'm just here to like. Don't nobody tell me nothing until after this streams on Shudder in July unless it gets a random theatrical release somewhere near me. 🤞
This trailer looked interesting. Definitely one for streaming for me.
Honestly, for a debut as director the daughter of our dear David Cronenberg, she made a good work. It's an interesting way to use this topics.
a breath of an fresh air! just finished watching the Humane
Hey guys I'd love to hear your thoughts on the British film Sexy Beast.
If it’s like Infinity pool , I’m passing. Possessor has been the only good film to come out of that family lately.
Literally said halfway through the movie, I could care less who gets sacrificed, they’re all so unlikable. I was only rooting for the young daughter and the adopted brother was okay.
Very underdeveloped and nonsensical
I didn’t think the daughter was being whiny or a brat. I found her to be observant, picking up on the guy doing this just for fun. I actually enjoyed their banter and wit back and forth. You wanting a literal child to understand how to manipulate a grown man, is a big ask. Also, I don’t think it’s in her character, her mom said she was getting bullied.

That teal jacket looks great on you, Joseph.
Hope you're having fun at the film festival, Nick 🤗
Oh yea, omg me and my husband thought she had to be an Olsen too.
I am probably going to see this still out of curiousity.
How did the step mom come to the funeral, but she was nowhere to be found when they needed her? What did i miss?
I guess because they got the sister, they dropped the case. And it wasn’t a funeral, it was like a recital I believe
Thanks again ❤😊 great review sounds like one I won’t mind missing
Mercy, y'all look tense in the thumbnail! 😬
The amount of just sheer Cruelty in this movie is just pure Comedy.
urgh, another end of the world movie. and what a nepo family 😅
Emily Hampshire is so fun to watch in 12 monkeys!!
Please do a review on Baby Reindeer
The only time i liked jay bruchel in a movie by even a low margain was when he was in "This is the end". Lol
It was sony’s emails!
Please review sasquatch sunset!🙏❤

Heyy 👩🏽🦲✨✌🏽
Nepo baby makes lame movies
This was the stupidest movie I have seen in a while
Rare Cronenberg Family L
my social commentary is why the asian woman is always married to a white man?
This movie was frustrating and confusing. Nothing was solved! The hell! Lol
