Such a fun listen. Loved hearing the diverse tastes and opinions!
Thanks man! It was a fun episode to record.
I totally agree with the opinion of 5 going the direction it did. People like to say the now-popular opinion that they should have made Jamie the killer. But in honest real terms, that would have crashed and burned like Season of the Witch did in ‘82 & Akkad could not afford to have that happen twice in every decade. The 1980s were ruled by Freddy & Jason. The slasher icon had risen to the forefront. It’s not realistic or financially feasible to make a 10 year old girl a killer after the success of part 4. You guys are hitting the nail on the head with that.
I've never understood the absurd criticism that is levelled at 5, anyway. If you like the original motif that was employed in the first film-of Myers stalking his prospective victims, and Loomis stalking HIM-Halloween 5 adheres to this approach as closely as any film in the series. It's pretty much ALL stalking....the focus is as heavily on Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis as it ever was in any sequel.
As for child killers....just watch Children of the Corn. They have a small army of kiddie killers...and yet you always have the feeling that the second the movie's hero picks up a baseball bat, the kids won't seem quite so scary. That's the problem with tiny killers...the second a grown man shows up, the movie is over.
Had to split it up between two days but this was such a fun episode!! I loved the sly jabs and fun you guys had defending your picks, I’d say one of your best episodes yet!
Thank you for the feedback & tuning in! So happy you enjoyed it! Hope you had a great Halloween!

For me the essential list is this.

H II (1981) Continues the story of Laurie Strode.
H IV (1988) Continues story with Laurie's (and Jimmy's?) daughter.
H V (1989) See the new villain coming.
H VI PC ✝ Oh, you thought Michael was acting under his own power?
H III (1982) 🏮 Unrelated, but still a good story.
RZ (2007) with alt. end on DVD Pleasantly surprised.
Everything else I don't care about.

As far as the new trilogy-I really like almost everything about 2018. I rewatch it a lot. Probably have seen it 15 times. Kills was very disappointing to me. There are amazing sequences (firefighter massacre, the Lindsey Wallace chase) that are ruined IMO by swerves into attempts at humor or elevated-horror-esque commentary which I do not watch these films to see. Horror is a fun escape for me I don’t think deep messaging belongs there. Ends was my biggest letdown since Jason X (that was my first Jason experience in theaters at age 18 & I’ve always found it stupid and cheap looking).
I rank these as 2018 (3), Kills (11) & Ends (13).
It’s also important to note I rank these films in a way that is personal enjoyment not objectively the best film.
Thanks for tuning in & giving your opinion and thoughts on the new trilogy! We love that everyone has different thoughts on the DGG installments. Makes it that much more interesting to discuss!
Ends is a better film (better execution, an original, yet extremely flawed premise, camera work, use of town as a character, etc.) but I'd rather watch Resurrection than Ends. Ends was "unique" but it had no business being the closing chapter of the DGG trilogy. I can't get over logistics of Corey and Michael tag-team killing people and Michael being his buddy and riding on his motorcyle (how else would Michael get to that doctor's house lol). I can respect it but I don't/can't see myself rewatching it. Resurrection is awful but at least I can throw it on in the background for a laugh. Ends has no rewatch value for me.
I respect your opinions of course but boy oh boy do I disagree on Ends. I have an approximately 20 point list of why I can’t stand it. To me it’s so disrespectful to the series, the fans & Michael himself. Plus I no longer have respect for Jamie Lee Curtis because of how she has treated Danielle and all of the films she isn’t in. Happy for you. As for me-On my last rewatch I had to turn it off because it was that disappointing.
Full disclosure- Halloween 4 was the first horror film I ever watched. I was the same age as Jamie & I lived in a small Illinois town. The Thorn trilogy are my Halloween movies. Despite the flaws I love them. Halloween 4 is my favorite horror film of all time. I rank the 3 as H4 (1), H5 (6) & Curse (4) currently.
Love the video guys
Thanks for tuning in & giving your thoughts. Two sides to every story with the JLC & Danielle Harris situation. Not a fan of how Harris tried to make JLC’s big night about her. Could’ve been handled differently for sure. Can’t wait to talk more Halloween!
I just have to say. I know everyone has their opinion. Butttttt.. Halloween Ends is so terrible. No idea how anyone could ever like this movie. There’s literally not one redeeming quality about this movie. I will never understand how anyone thinks this movie is good on any level at all.
Halloween 4 is so overrated as well
