Hearing the sheer joy and passion in Zach's voice compared to the terror in Kelsey's is hilarious. I am definitely Kelsey.

[@ashleyjohnson1990]

An excellent pick! My issue with it: perpetuating negative Romani stereotypes

[@pusheenqueen519]

I get that. I definitely roll my eyes whenever I see a stereotypical religious/spiritual mexican warning the white leads about whatever supernatural thing they've gone and summoned, but it usually doesn't retract too much from enjoying the movie for me.

[@joeblow6568]

I thought they said she was russian?

[@pusheenqueen519]

@@joeblow6568 No, the movie makes it very clear the old lady is supposed to be a curse casting "gypsy", among other Romani characters shown. No Russian people or stereotypes to speak of in Drag Me to Hell.

[@joeblow6568]

@@pusheenqueen519 I would swear one of the hosts called her Russian. I've never seen the movie.

[@pusheenqueen519]

@@joeblow6568 They're mistaken, no one in the movie is Russian.

[@savvygatton]

There's actually some evidence that scary movies/stories can be helpful for anxiety and even help kids learn to manage fear. It's a safe space to process the emotion and have everything be okay. I've also found that a lot of the best representations of mental illness (and also the worst, but still...) are in horror. If you're like Kelsey, or just a horror novice, definitely try watching with friends first!

[@LycaMina]

love this trio. they're a character. i could literally watch a 20-season comedy series starring these three

[@carnuatus]

Kelsey is really dragging this movie every second she can get while absolutely loving Dear Evan Hansen, huh.

[@lauren6485]

insidious deserves its own episode!

[@georgiakuchinsky]

my film studies teacher in high school was obsessed with campy horror movies, and did in fact make us study the evil dead trilogy. i'm with kelsey, life is stressful enough 😅 edit: we also studied the quick and the dead lol.

[@uncletjglass]

I actually thought the whole movie was a metaphor for eating disorders, especially with all of the focus on mouths in the horror. I was a bit surprised that that idea was so quickly dismissed.

[@zerocraic3966]

So odd I thought that too. I’ve seen it a few times and am jumpy/anxious naturally but I don’t feel scared watching this movie, I felt understood

[@purplerose2659]

Same I'm really surprised the didn't go into the discussion of this being an allegory for eating disorders. If you are interested a video essay on this the take and a few other channels have a good discussion over it

[@justineglickman]

This movie is so incredibly funny, every scare is followed by hysterical laughter. It's the BEST

[@faithmccready7116]

You all should watch Clue. It's a top notch guilty pleasure movie based on the board game 👌

[@MiuOnDrugs]

I'm with Garrick and Zack and I LOVE horror but Kelsey IS SO VALID. I have friends who HATE horror movie and I believe they would say the same thing and I love her energy for how much it disturbs her, you go Kelsey, speak up for the horror avoiders out there 😆

[@SadieAutumnx3]

this episode was fun to watch but me and my bestie watched this in middle school and thought it was basically the snl skit of a "scary" movie. i am honestly so shocked to hear these takes right now lol. (spoilers) she told her boyfriends mom that her dad was dead and the mom was almost disgusted but right after said "and my moms an alcoholic" and all of a sudden the mom has the most empathy in the world , she straight up kills a kitten for NO reason AND THE GOAT DEVIL ????? come on lol

[@cubbance]

Right? I'm going to just say that these three just like everything.

[@justineglickman]

I LOVE this movie. I can only imagine how great it would have been in the theater. I had my teen boys, boyfriend and roommates gathered to rewatch with me recently and their reactions made it so much fun.

[@FramesPerSecond]

Awkward moment when a movie does it’s job so perfectly Kelsey hates it🤣

[@FlagCutie]

Definitely not gonna see this afterwards since I'm a chicken and don't do scary movies, but excited to listen to the rest of the pod!

[@emilyf4178]

Was waiting on you to release this on KZbin so I can comment HAVE EUGENE DO ATLA on here! Probably not guilty but definitely a giant pleasure. Maybe guilty because it’s animated and intended for children? Idk but pls do

[@princessleia9735]

It’s a 100% pleasure for me, and I would LOVE to hear Eugene’s take given his love for animation and storytelling

[@anachavez8257]

For a second I thought you meant the movie version, and I’m also on board to hear them tear the movie apart lol

[@emilyf4178]

@@anachavez8257 I would also love to see that but I’d feel bad subjecting them to such garbage, it’s almost a punishment

[@TiffaniWright23]

This episode is phenomenal. I love talking about directors and to see Zach’s passion is so inspiring

[@gaetanadixon333]

This is one of my favorite horror movies behind Cabin in the Woods.

[@ZeinaIan]

Kelsey makes this sound scary and Zach makes it sound awesome. I'm going to watch it now and see how I feel about it.

[@EmrysEnergy]

Since it's spoopy season y'all should do What We Do In The Shadows. A Taika Waititi classic.

[@bonnier.phillips9286]

YES I CONCUR, PLEASE DO WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

[@maristarry325]

Zach and I have EXACTLY the same views when it comes to horror movies. I loved to see Sam Raimi return to his roots with this movie. It was delightfully disgusting, frightening, and incredibly entertaining. And so was listening to you talk about it.

[@hazzmat9527]

Garrick referencing regular show and previously wearing anime shirts, deffo the MVP

[@katchmeifyoucan1131]

Thats why this sounds so familiar! They used this movie to scare Ned! (I don't watch scary movies)

[@TwoMinuteAusten]

literally every time I try to wake up, I feel like I'm clawing my way out of sleep like the woman dragging herself up out of that grave in the rain

[@kisibye3553]

Garrick I want you to know that it genuinely cracks my s*** up to know that you full-on love this movie but absolutely cannot stand The Mummy🤣🤣🤣

[@madkins42]

Oh I've never watched this and I've watched Zach for years and never realized he worshiped in the same church of horror as I do! Especially Sam Raimi! Love it!

[@alexare7948]

"Spoopy" lmao.

[@omayraperales6514]

Thanks for talking about one of my favorite horror movies ♥

[@Malifique96]

13:27 is Jared being done with life n contemplating his life choices and realising how many babushkas he's actually crossed in his life 😂😂

[@kikiflexes]

Watched this movie bc of you guys and I absolutely LOVED it !!!!!!! Gonna watch it again tonight. Loved hearing Zach talk about it with such passion because it truly deserves it. Also: I decided to look at other movies Justin Long has been in since he was so good in this. I watched a movie called Tusk that he starred in, expecting him to play the perfect boyfriend like you guys said he always does. He is FAR from that in this one but man, this movie hasn't left my mind for days. I am BEGGING you guys tp check it out!! It left me so disturbed in the best way. Now one of my absolute favorite horrors. Think Zach might really vibe with it. Guessing Kelsey might not like it as much tho lmao

[@SarahTheSassy71]

American Horror Stories did a really strong episode about a horror film that makes people violently crazy. No spoilers but a crazed director talks about the science of horror films, like what elements do what to our brains and I think y'all would find it really interesting!

[@MmeFrankenstein]

Goooood Morning Podcast friends ! Also.. so exicted for this one. Lol

[@user-te8hx5zk3v]

you probably wont see this but please do THE CRAFT at some point and confessions of a teenage drama queen , absolute classics and i would love to hear you guys talk about it !!! one of my favorite podcasts!!!

[@anachavez8257]

I really enjoyed this movie! I laughed, I jumped, I was excited! Great experience

[@chiwithin]

Drag me to hell used to be on the television all the time. I watched it with my brother when I was little this one afternoon and its one of favourites and I'm so happy you guys covered it on this podcast.

[@cubbance]

A horror movie with amazing sound design in a film that doesn't suck: Last Shift. Spooky, builds tension well, sound is almost like another character, and it's not over the top or too in your face.

[@faith-4059]

Oh I loved the Insidious mention!!!

[@alygetreal]

Zack- I want that jacket!

[@danielc9430]

I wish we could know the movies in advance so we can watch them if we haven't seen them.

[@lotus1186]

I never watch horror movies because I’m too terrified so I’m just gonna listen to this podcast and get a feel of the movie

[@maplelump]

If Kelsey wants a thriller movie that doesn't feel like a caricature, watch Rosemary's Baby, it's what Hereditary WISHES it could be. Yes, the director is problematic, that's full guilt, but the movie is good. So please add that to your October roster. :)

[@FramesPerSecond]

He became problematic 1977 so I justify things by only watching movies he made before then as he became a very different person after his wife’s murder. So anything Chinatown or earlier doesn’t feel weird watching.

[@maplelump]

@@FramesPerSecond That's fair to me. I only recently watched RB and was in awe.

[@emilyobryant5083]

I agree with Z! I love this movie.

[@missjessrobbins]

Ok I’m only five minutes into this episode and I swear I won’t like, live comment, but I am *so* happy that Garrick and Zach love this movie like I do 🤣🤣 this film does not get talked about enough

[@ambermanke757]

I’ve never seen the movie. Came to thirst after Zach and Kelsey. Which one is hotter in this episode? That hair, so good. Zach without glasses is just a Superman-esque transformation.

[@alysonadele]

Another movie that has Octavia Spencer in the background is A Time to Kill.

[@aericomics1482]

I love Raimi’s horror intuition- I’m one of those people that will just put horror movies on while going about my day-to-day life and the Evil Dead movies and Drag Me To Hell are movies I’ll watch whenever I need to simply enjoy something.

[@Ailynbella]

I NEED YOU GUYS TO DO THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE PLEASEEEEEEEE!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@liliadworak2075]

The fact that Kelsey hasn’t forced you guys to do mama mia breaks my heart.

[@thebirdking3605]

I can't believe Garrick brought Fire Force into this discussion

[@alyssacannaday7684]

Y'all may very well have all of your October podcast eps recorded by this point, but I would LOVE to hear y'all discuss a classic like The Nightmare Before Christmas or one of the Halloweentown movies!

[@mjraines5159]

I think they're going to do that one around thanksgiving or Christmas. I can't wait for it!

[@alyssacannaday7684]

"Don't ever fuck with Babushkas." Life fucking lesson.

[@inacityalone]

i was pretty young when i first saw this because my mom loves horror and i remember thinking it was great except the end was a little cheesy; that was definitely my kid brain talking so i think this deserves a rewatch thanks to you guys hahaha

[@money1137]

The scene where the old lady basically gums the girl with her face in the car gets me every damn time lol

[@jessicacraig4525]

Kelsey, please stop comparing your haircut to how you look like a boy. I am a woman with a shaved head and hearing people sayWoman with short hair look like man is an absolute false statement. We are baddies that can rock short hair, so own that girl and stop comparing it to men

[@ShaeKababy]

YES PLEASE so excited for this episode. Is Zach my new favorite?! He really does share my film taste

[@cconaghty]

Saw drag me to hell in the cinema when it first came out it was terrifyingly good 💀 and I have watched it again many times since then. I love the movie and how uncomfortably horrible it is to watch I can't get enough of it 😱

[@aeisharodriguez1567]

I was today old when I learnt Sam Raimi directed Evil Dead. That's only horror that did it for me. Fear game man

[@lindsey7951]

not y'all telling Kelsey to watch hereditary knowing damn well she would probably keep over and die at the head+pole scene🤣😂🤣

[@vicentecastro7148]

So hilarious as usual...more power to your podcast...😄

[@lndcruz721]

honestly i am Kelsey in this podcast, i hate horror, especially jump scares. the only way i absorb horror movies is through other people watching and reacting to it. kudos to Kelsey for powering through this one

[@aislingtheoneandonly1135]

Okay ye talk about Comedy in the movie but you forgot about the man who got possessed and doing the Irish dancing 😂 that shirt was funny 🇮🇪

[@FramesPerSecond]

The first Conjuring film was actually designed to be PG13. There’s nothing in it the breaks the guidelines to become an R but the ratings board just found it too scary that they slapped it with an R instead of PG13.

[@aerocherrypie]

I'm so mad that more people don't talk about this movie! My bestie and I went and saw this when it came out and we both agreed it was amazing and Alison Lohman deserved everything she got after she merced that kitten

[@sausagebased]

Ok first off, Kelsey, hair is looking great this episode, I love it. This episode is SO FUN and totally what I needed this week. If Zach (or anyone else out there who also loves the Evil Dead movies) hasn't already read If Chins Could Kill by Bruce Campbell it's totally worth checking out.

[@zerocraic3966]

I am enjoying long hair for the first time…and yet her look is making me reflect on my choices

[@xx_dreamer_xx]

Yesss! Totally agree with this! One of my favorite movies of all time =)

[@carprincess]

I never heard of splatstick films, but I'm not surprised it exists

[@rgoodfellow]

Octavia Spencer also had a tiny role in Spider-man when Peter is trying to get into the wrestling thing. Crazy shit.

[@esperanzaflores4353]

In high school my friends and I watched this in our hotel room, we were on a school trip, and it fucked us up. There were four of us in a room and we got so scared we slept with the bathroom light on. 😂

American Horror Stories did a really strong episode about a horror film that makes people violently crazy. No spoilers but basically an insane director talks about the science of horror films like what elements do what to our brains. Anyways I think y'all would find it really interesting!

[@kaleidoscopeuniverse8880]

I made the mistake of watching scary movies with my mom at 10 watching this movie. I listened to this and relived this movie. I never want to watch it again how scary it was. But bit was a really good movie! everyone needs to experience it atleast once.

[@KaylaS2558]

I love scary movies there is just something about watching them that makes real world problems kinda go away for a while.

[@nikolajpetersen2091]

This is one of the few horror movies I've seen (don't particularily see the appeal of the genre), but with a pretty large group that had just watched Rocky Horror Picture Show and the first 2 asdf movies (the only two out at the time) and at no point could we take it seriously. We also saw the ending coming from miles away.

[@baileymcnulty2771]

Can you guys post what movie you will be talking about in advance? Then I can watch it and feel like I’m part of the pod 🤣🤣🤣

[@zerocraic3966]

Absolutely! I Thought I was crazy thinking this myself! It would be awesome to find out what is coming up so we can rewatch.

[@stevebartonII]

Never got to see this in theaters, but I rented it on Netflix (back when it was just DVDs) and I loved it! Had no idea who Sam Raimi was back then either

[@averyjeanne]

OMG THAT WAS OCTAVIA SPENCER!! I thought there was no way it actually her. I thought she was already getting big roles back in 2009, but I guess not.

[@bakedslow2530]

I remember convincing all my mates in year 9 in high school to go watch this movie in the theatres and my God still such a good laugh 😃

Nice to have a movie that’s just pure pleasure! Really digging Kelsey with the shorter hair!

[@millsrome]

This movie and *Trick 'r Treat* (2007) (Please guys, you need to) are in my opinion some of the greatest "modern" horror movies and they deserve cult classic status. I mean add Jeniffer's Body and you realise what a gem the late 2000s were. They're so goddamn entertaining! And I'm always trying to make people watch them

[@wakeandtraink9837]

I wasn't scared I watched it by myself. But the beginning and ending are everything

[@Angelica_h023]

Love you for this Zach ♥️

[@alexare7948]

For realistic horror, kelsey should watch hush not hereditary.

[@zerocraic3966]

Man I love that main actor usually and hush is so loved but I absolutely hated that movie. Tried it a few times but felt so fake but not campy either bad uncanny valley of horror IMO. And considering what Kelsey hates based on her content, my guess would be the notion of a woman alone being disabled and weak/vulnerable as a consequence of those two u characteristics would be totally off putting

[@daughterofdemeter]

I love horror movies. You sold me before you said not to watch it, but especially after haha
