So for some background, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost started out with Edgar Wright as a director back in a series called *Spaced* and Edgar Wright's stuff is absolutely JAM-PACKED with little references. There's a whole version of the show, where there are subtitles just to call out what the references are. This is why his work in *Scott Pilgrim* is just as heavily full of those things in every single scene. When it comes to the cornetto trilogy though, they all go way back, and there's a sort of family-like familiarity between them on their projects where they have a very particular flow that is just... it's why they are what they are.

[@soulstice94]

I love all of the lowkey sound cues like the cash register cha-ching when Danny hears about Nick being stabbed, the sound plays because he's immediately interested in his experiences.

Stagger back for shots at the bar The group pretend to be zombies as they stagger back into the Winchester bar where it all ends with them taking shots...at the zombies with the Winchester Also when shooting said zombies, the dialogue and camera work directly mirrors the dialogue and video game camera work of the zombie game they are playing in the beginning of the movie

Hot fuzz has been such an underrated movie. I'm glad more and more people are seeing it and loving it!

[@GriffinPilgrim]

For reference "The Fuzz" is old British slang for the police. Like calling them pigs but meant somewhat less offensively.

[@GamesandNonsenseUnleashed]

Actually, linguists know for certain is that "fuzz" was first used to refer to policemen by criminals in the United States during the late 1920s and early 1930s.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

@@GamesandNonsenseUnleashed Really? Interesting. But it certainly caught on in Britain too and seems to have lasted longer there.

[@GamesandNonsenseUnleashed]

@@GriffinPilgrim Yea the hats there seem to have changed les than here.

[@Tyrconnell]

There's a 1972 Burt Reynolds/Rachel Welch picture called 'Fuzz' about police in Boston. So it was still current in the US then. Guess it went out of style more recently.

[@direnova6284]

We (Brits) got that from the US, a long time ago but it was theirs first.

[@Sabaition]

They play very different characters in each movie... They both have really great ranges actors. Being that they do a lot of comedy they're super underrated.

[@deadpool981]

I love how you and Nicholas had the exact same facial expression at the end of the Romeo and Juliet play lol

[@PiroMunkie]

You kind of touched on it a bit, but this movie is a parody of "buddy cop" movies like Lethal Weapon, Bad Boys, and Point Break. Another good modern, American parody of the genre is The Other Guys with Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. Hot Fuzz is absolutely my favorite of this trilogy.

[@nickthepeasant]

Woop! Cornetto Trilogy continues. The winning duo of Pegg and Frost with the cream of British actors, get in (as some of us still say).

[@blacksheep_edge1412]

Hot Fuzz definitely my favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy. So deep in the use of dialogue early on to set up the jokes, and plot payoffs late in the film. Also the use of music was excellent yet again. Especially note the lyrics of the song that plays as Tim Dalton drives by the house that blew up. The first word we hear is "Fire." Such a wonderful detail. And, as Natalie pointed out, the editing and cuts are masterfully done as well. The snappy back and forth at just the right exact moments. Love this film. The World's End was a good movie, but I found it rather depressing. *no spoilers* but I empathized with Simon Pegg's character so much that it really hit me hard. And still does on rewatches. Another movie that is seriously good, yet also seriously depressing, is Robin Williams in One Hour Photo. Or Dead Poet's Society. Or Moscow on the Hudson. Robin Williams was totally underrated as a dramatic actor.

[@kimm6589]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this movie as much as I do! I think it's the best of the cornetto films imo. The small town stuff gets me every time. If you grew up in one, you KNOW. :D

[@Philbert-s2c]

This is pretty much a perfect movie. There are no wasted scenes, and it never lags. It sets everything up, gives you the appropriate clues.... ...and then blows the entire thing to Hell. It's sheer brilliance.

[@dungcheeseMORK999]

Whats amazing is there are some well known faces in this like Cate Blanchett's cameo as Jennie and Rory McCann (The Hound in GoT) as Armstrong.

[@revangerang]

Yesssss this is one of my all-time favorite films. The humor is so witty; the action, pacing, and editing is absolutely perfect; there’s so much foreshadowing; and it crosses so many genres from action to mystery to comedy to thriller! Plus the characters are all so fleshed out and real, and I love the character development and the focus on the platonic relationship. One of my other favorite films that’s kind of on the other end of the spectrum, but still has that fast pacing where every moment has something important or interesting, is called Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day. I highly recommend it even if you don’t do a reaction video.

[@alexle6105]

Another comedy recommendation, and my personal favourite movie of all time, is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I believe it's Robert Downey Jr's first leading role after his last drug drama but before Iron Man. Him and Val Kilmer have a great dynamic with a lot of very fast intelligent and quick witted dialogue, the writing for the movie is great and it's just a fun spin on a modern LA detective movie.

[@Peng-444]

The casting in this film is incredible. Olivia Coleman, Paddy Consendine, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent, Martin Freeman (and more) all in minor roles. I love Timothy Dalton in this too, he's having so much fun. James Bond!

[@marcuscato9083]

Man, I actually envy someone getting to watch this for the first time. Pure gold.

[@maurabewsmedia1688]

The Devil's Rejects (2005) Movie what movie name anyone plz yes next time

[@AlanCanon2222]

When I watched this, the town of Sandford reminded me of the little town of Wells, in Somerset, which I visited on my only ever trip overseas.... turns out that's where the movie was filmed! It's well named, as there are caves and springs all over Somerset, including an artesian well in the centre of the town that keeps the gutters clean and flowing with crystal clear water. Nearby is the River Axe, which flows out of Wookey Hole Cave, where my caving partner's father did cave diving in the 1950s. If I ever re-visit to England, I'm going to have to head out that way again.

[@robertwild9447]

"Why murder this guy? He doesn't seem that bad." I'm sure there's a very justifiable reason.

[@katyb6979]

Fun fact - Sandford is the fictional town name used in police training in Britain.

[@atilaluthfi411]

u should watch "paul" with the same actor. its about alien named paul.

[@adventureofed]

Skinner slipping on the somerfield van and falling on the church roof corner WHICH HE PUSHED OFF ON THE REAL CHURCH IS GENIUS.

[@zairac2564]

I probably laughed as much watching your reaction as originally watching the movie. Maybe, someday copyright holders will realize that you're providing free marketing for them. I'm sure lots of people buy or rewatch movies after being reminded how great they are by a great reaction like yours.

[@MichaelSmith-bn6hm]

The actors in this film is ridiculous there are so many top names. One of my favourites is Billie Whitelaw because she played the Queen Bee in the Krays 😂 oh and don't forget the hound from GOT YERP

[@1515cci]

Natalie, I recommend "Knives Out" (2019). My pick for the best movie of 2019. Whodunnit with a modern twist and comedy elements and powered with an all-star cast. Very enjoyable.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Superb film

[@chrisrsanchez1944]

Honestly glad a stumbled upon this cute little channel lol. ALSO THIS MOVIE IS HILARIOUS! Can’t wait for the reaction to The World’s End :) it’s also super fun

[@saldevere9066]

I’ve watched it like 20 times and I find new jokes every viewing.

[@chuckyboy6977]

Once again Pegg & Frost have so many Homages/Easter eggs in film it takes many re-watches to get them all. The Swan doing a surprise attack is a great nod to the Alien movies, the can throw from Crocodile Dundee was sneaked in too. Great film.

[@Thom1212]

For SotD, the humor comes in when you watch the very proper and polite British people try to live through zombies.

[@adamkaige]

If you’re ever in England you should go to the village of Wells, which is where they filmed it. If you go into the pub you’ll see production photos on the wall and the body armour that Simon Pegg wore during the film. The street, the graveyard, the alley, the shop, it’s all in Wells. Besides all that, it’s a lovely old English town.

[@ToastyJunebugs]

This is my favorite movie. I think I've watched it 10+ times and each time I notice something new! Edit: I like how Angel rides back into town with two shotguns strapped to his back on a white horse and you say he's a badass bc he has a toothpick!

[@KA-sx3sc]

ayyy a Natalie video! This makes my day much better!
