After watching four Saw movies last week, we needed a little break. So, we decided to go to the complete opposite end of the spectrum and throw it back with some classic Disney. Hannah also shared that she watched Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, Ready or Not, Tusk, HIM, and Shelby Oaks, so she didn’t completely stray from the horror genre. To begin this episode, we break down the first two episodes of Euphoria season three. To say we’re feeling underwhelmed so far would be an understatement. To us, it really feels like some of the characters have completely changed with no explanation and there’s a very obvious tone change which could have to do with a new production designer and composer. Labrinth not being involved in this season is a huge loss as his music really played an integral role in making season one and two so iconic. We’re going to continue to watch and we’re trying to keep an open mind, but this season isn’t working for us so far.

Something that does still work for us is a Classic Disney Princess. Yes, we hold some heavy nostalgia for these films, but after watching them with adult eyes, they do still hold up. There’s something to be said about the style of the animation, the writing, and the music in these films that we just don’t find in children’s movies today. Even Disney itself has strayed away from what worked for so long. We can admit that some of the messaging in these older films aren’t completely empowering to young girls (Cinderella and The Little Mermaid), but they still create worlds that are easy to get immersed in and feel connected to. The only one that didn’t totally hold up for us as much as the others was The Little Mermaid. This is a cute film, but we would have liked to see more under the sea scenes and the overall plot is questionable. One that absolutely still tops our list is Mulan. From the music, to the storyline, to the action sequences, this one really does have it all. Mulan will forever be a standout that resonates to multiple generations. There was no reason for Disney to go that hard with the songs and some of the dialogue in this film, but we’re glad they did.

After watching Saw last week inspired us to continue watching the rest of the franchise. This week, we focus on the next four films in the franchise and how the story of Jigsaw evolves. Before we give our thoughts, we talk about Coachella and Justin Bieber’s impactful performance, getting tickets to see sombr this fall, and a breakup in the Love is Blind universe. While we were recording, the news also broke that D4vd was arrested for the murder of teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez back in September. On a lighter note, Hannah also watched the new Netflix film, Thrash, which combines sharks and hurricanes. As promised, we finished watching the second season of Euphoria ahead of the season three premiere. We’ll be recapping both episode one and two of the new season next week!

Some people might be adverse to the Saw franchise since it’s very graphic, but we do find some psychological depth to the films. Yes, the traps are disturbing, but we find the story of Jigsaw compelling and it elevates it compared to some other horror films. When watching multiple films back-to-back, it’s easier to see some of the flaws in the storyline. While the interactions between the victims are usually pretty good and the twists still get you, the extra backstory added to Jigsaw and the intentions behind his successor fall a bit flat. Next week, we’ll be taking a little break from the franchise, but we’ll be back later to finish up the rest of the films!

Shocking plot twists are the name of the game this week on the pod! We’ve already watched quite a few films with twists before this theme, but there are plenty more to explore. Before we dive into those, we discuss some new releases we saw in theaters. The Drama was a really fun watch because we saw it with a reactive audience on a Friday night. Even though the surprise was ruined for Hannah by TMZ, there were other things in this film that were unexpected. Overall, we enjoyed it and thought it brought up some interesting conversations and thoughts. Hannah also took her kids to see The Super Mario Galaxy Movie since they enjoyed the first film. Unfortunately, Hannah didn’t enjoy this and her children weren’t invested either.

Plot twists are great in films, if they’re done correctly. After this rewatch of Shutter Island, we’re still a little unsure of the execution of this one. While it does have a surprising turn of events, we don’t completely buy into how things turn out at the end. With that being said, Leonardo DiCaprio gives another wonderful performance which really takes this one to the next level. Arrival is a film that neither of us had seen, and shockingly, the twist had never been spoiled for us. The acting fell a little flat and it starts a little slowly, but things do come together in the end. This is another film that almost feels more like a thought experiment! Lastly, we watched Saw. What can we say about this iconic film? Both of us have been fans of this franchise for a long time, but it’s been a while since we’d seen the first installment. Needless to say, this film really holds up and the twist is shocking even though we know it’s coming.
