Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Monday, October 26th, and it is the grossest good time you are going to have at a movie theater. But don't take our word for it. You have got to go see this movie, which has a nearly perfect audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. This movie wasn't on our radar. I guess it's horror. We're horror fans. But we weren't going to see this one until the reviews started coming in. And now, Robes, man, this is a damn good movie.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: It was a great movie. And I will actually say it began by seeing the trailer. I'm trying to remember what movie we went to go see. And this Clayface trailer played. And I was initially intrigued because, yes, it didn't look like a comic book movie. It looked like a traditional horror movie that I would be into. And then when the reviews came, it was kind of like the one-two punch. Like, absolutely, we must see what.
00:01:10
Speaker 1: This is all about. This is based on a DC comic book villain story. who used to go head-to-head with Batman. Had you heard of Clayface before this?
00:01:20
Speaker 2: No, and if you had said, hey, babe, do you want to go see a movie about the backstory or the origin story to a nemesis of Batman's, I would have laughed and said, nah, hard pass from me.
00:01:34
Speaker 1: You know, and that is probably why this movie has done so well. It doesn't feel like some comic book movie. This really is a story... Of a guy, you follow him along until this thing he becomes. But Rose, it doesn't feel like the rest of them. It doesn't feel like an Avengers. It doesn't feel like you're watching some Caped Crusader type movie. It is a normal guy living a normal life and some messed up stuff happened to him.
00:02:03
Speaker 2: Yes, and this is not kiddie friendly at all. So it's not like you feel... That's what I don't like to think. Oh, I'm a grown ass adult. I don't need to be watching some comic book movie. And so that is not how this feels. I would actually liken it a little bit. to my shock and pleasure of watching Resident Evil in the theaters because I also would have shied away from seeing that movie because it's like a gamer movie and I just, it wouldn't have been my, that wouldn't have been a movie I would have sought out and said I would like to go see it and yet it was fantastic in the same way Clayface has been fantastic. Unexpectedly great.
00:02:42
Speaker 1: I think that is great how they promoted this thing and it's not so much a comic book character they're building up some confrontation later with but no this was a cool story and wrote and i love the lead i wasn't familiar with him but it also helped a movie about a guy's face shifting around and doing stuff this guy has an interesting look.
00:03:03
Speaker 2: To him yes he does he has very angular face yes he's a very attractive uh young actor and i He looks familiar to me. I wouldn't have been able to place him anywhere. But Tom Rhys-Harris is the main character's name. And yes, he's got that chiseled kind of movie star good looks, which is exactly the role he's playing. But it is an angular, severe face, which you can have some fun with when it comes to the character he is playing.
00:03:30
Speaker 1: He was fantastic. So yes, if you haven't been hearing, Clayface's number one movie over the weekend. opened with, what, $ 24 million in the U.S., another $ 19 million internationally, so $ 43 million. Robes, it essentially has made his money back. It was only, it cost just under $ 45 million to make this movie. So, Robes, they're off to a good start. I think word of mouth. might help this one a little bit. I don't know how much of a drop-off. This was a fun flick.
00:03:56
Speaker 2: Yes, because look, and these are always my favorite movies to go see and to get excited about and to tell other people to go see when you've got a good critic score and an even better audience score. So the critics gave it 76%, which absolutely is a great Rotten Tomatoes score, but the audience gave it a 94%. Boom. That just goes to show you everyone who went to go see it pretty much walked away with a big-ass smile on their face. And I have to say, I enjoyed it, but I also had to hide my face from some of it. I mean, this definitely is a horror movie lover's movie because it's got some body horror, which you're not always a huge fan of.
00:04:38
Speaker 1: No, I absolutely hate body horror.
00:04:43
Speaker 2: And this does have a pretty decent dose of it.
00:04:46
Speaker 1: It does, and it's not necessarily a jump scare kind of horror movie in that vein. There is some killing and some pretty tough kills, actually. But Robes, I guess this was an origin story, a backstory of a guy you kind of are rooting for. Like, oh, my God, I can't believe that happened to him. And you watch him descend and everything that takes place. I loved this journey, and it was a fun journey. Even the parts where you're covering your eyes, it's fun. You can't believe you're squirming like, oh my God, are they really doing that? It was a fun movie experience at Robes. What's the run time on this one?
00:05:25
Speaker 2: The run time. Do I have the run time? I will get it for you momentarily.
00:05:30
Speaker 1: Hour 48. Hour 48. This movie takes off in the very beginning. In a matter of minutes. It's off to the races. There is no building. There is no slow part in the middle. This movie takes off.
00:05:43
Speaker 2: I agree, and I love that it has elements of the mob, like the mafia, a hit. You've got Hollywood. You've got a love story.
00:05:52
Speaker 1: And there's a mob boss.
00:05:53
Speaker 2: You've got some sci-fi elements to it. It really does have a little bit of something for everyone, and I thought the acting and the script and the pacing, it was all on par with some of the best movies I've ever seen. I just, for me, the body horror got a little much. There was a special... there were two particular scenes, but one of them, I had my eyes closed, didn't watch one second of it, and I watched you watching it, which I was actually fairly impressed with.
00:06:24
Speaker 1: No, I could not. It was fun. I could not watch it. It was fun.
00:06:27
Speaker 2: Let's give you the synopsis just because we actually... It's an origin story, which is fun. I always do like it when they explain evil. Like when you realize when you're a Star Wars fan why Darth Vader became Darth Vader. Like that always.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: It's all for love. Yes.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: It all helps you understand the story you're watching. I love these types of backstories and that's exactly what this movie is.
00:06:49
Speaker 1: So the synopsis.
00:06:50
Speaker 2: Clayface unravels one man's horrifying descent... from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster in a story that explores the loss of one's identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.
00:07:10
Speaker 1: There's a lot in this movie that hits it all. The corrosive love that makes sense and you have to wait for it in the movie, but it delivers on all of that. And yes, scientific ambition. is a big part of this movie.
00:07:27
Speaker 2: There's a whole AI. You could look at it with what we're dealing with with AI, how far is too far, when does scientific advancement actually create potential monsters, I guess, like you see in this story. But the critics loved it. As we pointed out, they said this was the consensus carving out a unique identity for itself in the DCU while closely resembling a litany of body horror classics. Clayface takes time to get going until it eventually morphs into an icky, satisfying revenge thriller. I actually didn't, I mean, I understand what they're saying. They, they took some time to build the story, but it never was a slow burn for me. It never was slow. I never was thinking where, like, when is this going to actually get good? It was good from the start. I was invested in the storyline from the beginning.
00:08:18
Speaker 1: You're invested in him and what's happening with him. And, award season and he's on top of the world and he's got his best friend with him and then a mob ball this is part we're not giving it away but a mob boss you see the scene in some of the previews they attack him so once that happens robes this movie just the sand your heart breaks for him because you see him at the highest of possible highs for.
00:08:45
Speaker 2: An actor he's like literally just about to About to hit massive stardom where everything in his life is about to change.
00:08:52
Speaker 1: And that moment, everything is taken away. To a horrific degree, it's taken away from him. And yeah, this is a, I give them credit. This is not one, this is not a well-known character. Whoever wrote this sucker, whoever put this together, Robes, this is a character we don't even know. And they make me love this movie. Exactly.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: And look, the woman who he plays opposite, where there is this interesting love story, Naomi Ackie. I had never seen her before. Rise of Skywalker. She was in Blink Twice. But she was awesome.
00:09:29
Speaker 1: You saw Blink Twice?
00:09:30
Speaker 2: I did, but I don't remember.
00:09:31
Speaker 1: She was the main one that went out there with Channing Tatum. They met him at the party. The black girl. That was her.
00:09:38
Speaker 2: Yes. I knew her face is so familiar. She's a great actress. And she plays her character so well.
00:09:45
Speaker 1: She nails it.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: She really does. And then we love Max Minghella. I never knew his name, but he's everywhere. Spiral from the Book of Saw. The Handmaid's Tale. He's that guy. He plays that detective, that buttoned up guy. He's her husband? or her fiance fiance in this and it's he plays the perfect role that he is born to play in so much of what we love. But yes, everyone there is just so well cast. And then the director, James Watkins, when I went to go look and see what he's done, yeah, he knows a little something about horror movies. Speak no evil. We love that movie. Eden Lake just watched it. That shit is brutal with Fassbender and the woman in black with Harry Potter guy. What's his name?
00:10:34
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I see the house.
00:10:37
Speaker 2: It's a great movie, The Woman in Black, and it's Harry Potter actor.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: Don't Google it.
00:10:42
Speaker 2: Stop.
00:10:42
Speaker 1: I have to. Come on, no, we got to figure this out.
00:10:44
Speaker 2: Everyone who's listening is screaming it right now.
00:10:47
Speaker 1: Yes. Morgan. Nick. Noah.
00:10:52
Speaker 2: No.
00:10:53
Speaker 1: You can see his face. Yes.
00:10:55
Speaker 2: He did Full Frontal Nudity in the West End. Yes. Oh, I thought it almost came to you. Can I please do this?
00:11:02
Speaker 1: You sure it's Harry Potter?
00:11:02
Speaker 2: No.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the Harry Potter actor.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: Wait.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: No, we can come up with this. Bros, no. This isn't a good exercise. You're cheating.
00:11:09
Speaker 2: I'm not looking. All right. We'll just have to move on then. All right. So when we come back, hopefully by the time we have our commercial break, we'll be able to figure out who the Harry Potter actor is that everybody is screaming now out loud. And we'll tell you what the audience review said about Clayface. Welcome back everyone to Amy and TJ. We are talking about Clayface. It is a box office success. Yes. I mean, this did really well. It was number one and we, we would be willing to bet it's going to do just as well in the coming weeks because word of mouth is certainly going to spread about this one.
00:11:54
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of movies we, we are compelled to hop on and talk about. We couldn't wait to talk about this movie. Um, And we were in there, and this was one of those, as soon as the lights came up, me, you, and Sabine looking at each other, what did y'all think? What happened at the end? Well, I think that you're immediately talking about what took place and comparing notes. Oh, it was such a good time.
00:12:13
Speaker 2: It was amazing. And so, yes, the audience, we mentioned 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. I picked it. This was one of the reviews, Pure Perfection. easily the best horror movie of the year so far. Clayface nails every single beat with an amazing plot and near-perfect fight choreography. That scene where Matt Hagen hits the red carpet after fixing his face gave me absolute chills. Do not miss this one.
00:12:42
Speaker 1: That was a good one. That was a good triumph, and you were happy for him again. That was good. It was an emotional rollercoaster, the up and down.
00:12:48
Speaker 2: It really was, because you were rooting for him. You were invested in his story. You wanted him to succeed. He didn't make that big of a mistake to have to pay that kind of a price. And so you wanted redemption for him. I kept having to remind myself, it's a movie. This didn't actually happen in real life because I was feeling so invested in the character and seeing him finally get what he was due.
00:13:14
Speaker 1: I just wanted him to get his face back. I wanted him to get his career back. I wanted him to just go about his business. And that is not the case because, yes, it's an origin story of a villain. He has to become a bad guy by the end of the movie. So how does he do that? I guess it's the climax of the movie, the club scene at the end. It is such a good time. On the dance floor, you have a dance routine. This movie is funny along the way, and it's almost ridiculous at times. And you're laughing not because they crack a joke, but just because they accept what it is and what they are. This is ridiculous that this character could do this thing. Let's have some fun with it. He was awesome.
00:13:53
Speaker 2: Uh, he really was. And I hope, you know, obviously everyone who's in the movie already has some pretty, um, amazing projects in their resume, but this should get these folks even more movies because they really did carry this movie in such a wonderful way. Um, the plane, you wanted to talk about the plane.
00:14:11
Speaker 1: This is the only, this, this, there is one. And again, we're not giving it away because it is in the, uh, trailer. Um, And the trailer, of course, you see the idea. You know the idea. Clayface's face is falling apart at times. The scene on the plane that you see in the preview ropes where his eyelids start to shut. And they're just holding on by a few strands of, like, skin that'll fold it down. He can't see. And he has to open his eyes by using his tiny scissors.
00:14:44
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:14:45
Speaker 1: That scene, I swear it went an hour. That scene was so tough to watch.
00:14:50
Speaker 2: We were laughing. We were so skeeved out.
00:14:52
Speaker 1: We were squirming. We couldn't believe just pushing and shoving each other. Like, oh, my God.
00:14:58
Speaker 2: And they created so much tension on the plane because they were facing turbulence. Oh, yeah. And the flight attendant's like, you have to sit down, sir. You got to get back. And it's rattling on the plane. And his eyelids are closing in on each other.
00:15:10
Speaker 1: And he's moving around trying to cut his eyes.
00:15:13
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:15:14
Speaker 1: It is a great, great, great scene. It's fun. Is that the grossest scene in the movie?
00:15:21
Speaker 2: There's a couple gross scenes. I mean, that is among the hardest.
00:15:25
Speaker 1: Ones to watch, I would say. Body horror-wise?
00:15:27
Speaker 2: Body horror-wise, that's up there. And anything to do with eyes, I just....
00:15:34
Speaker 1: It's so tough.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: All right, did you come up with the actor's name, Harry Potter?
00:15:37
Speaker 1: No, no idea.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: Neither did I, so I have the Google ready to go.
00:15:39
Speaker 1: I have the Google? The Google, oh.
00:15:41
Speaker 2: My gosh, of course. Daniel Radcliffe.
00:15:44
Speaker 1: Duh. That would have taken me a minute.
00:15:46
Speaker 2: That would have taken you... And it's funny, I kept remembering... Wait, that was Harry Potter? Yeah, I remember... Yes, that was Daniel Radcliffe. Rupert Grint played his redhead friend, Ron Weasley. Emma Watson played Hermione Granger. So yes, Granger, I remembered... Emma Watson's name, I could not think of Daniel Radcliffe's.
00:16:03
Speaker 1: Is it weird? I've never seen a Harry Potter movie. You haven't? Not one. Did they make 12 of them or something?
00:16:10
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a lot. I can't remember how many, but my daughters were obsessed with them. They were at the right age. They read all the books. I went to all the movies with them. And they were actually really good, I have to say. It was one of my more favorite movie series that I had to go attend to go with my kids. You would like it. I think you would. Why are you looking at me like that?
00:16:32
Speaker 1: Because we're here to talk about Clayface, okay?
00:16:34
Speaker 2: All right, Clayface, you got to go see it, everybody. It is fantastic. We promise you it will get you in the Halloween spirit. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach, alongside TJ Holmes.
00:16:47
Speaker 1: We'll talk soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Monday, October 26th, and it is the grossest good time you are going to have at a movie theater. But don't take our word for it.

Whoever wrote this sucker, whoever put this together, Robes, this is a character we don't even know. And they make me love this movie. Exactly.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: And look, the woman who he plays opposite, where there is this interesting love story, Naomi Ackie. I had never seen her before. Rise of Skywalker. She was in Blink Twice. But she was awesome.
00:09:29
Speaker 1: You saw Blink Twice?
00:09:30
Speaker 2: I did, but I don't remember.
00:09:31
Speaker 1: She was the main one that went out there with Channing Tatum. They met him at the party. The black girl. That was her.
00:09:38
Speaker 2: Yes. I knew her face is so familiar. She's a great actress. And she plays her character so well.
00:09:45
Speaker 1: She nails it.
00:09:46
Speaker 2: She really does. And then we love Max Minghella. I never knew his name, but he's everywhere. Spiral from the Book of Saw. The Handmaid's Tale. He's that guy. He plays that detective, that buttoned up guy. He's her husband? or her fiance fiance in this and it's he plays the perfect role that he is born to play in so much of what we love. But yes, everyone there is just so well cast. And then the director, James Watkins, when I went to go look and see what he's done, yeah, he knows a little something about horror movies. Speak no evil. We love that movie. Eden Lake just watched it. That shit is brutal with Fassbender and the woman in black with Harry Potter guy. What's his name?
00:10:34
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I see the house.
00:10:37
Speaker 2: It's a great movie, The Woman in Black, and it's Harry Potter actor.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: Don't Google it.
00:10:42
Speaker 2: Stop.
00:10:42
Speaker 1: I have to. Come on, no, we got to figure this out.
00:10:44
Speaker 2: Everyone who's listening is screaming it right now.
00:10:47
Speaker 1: Yes. Morgan. Nick. Noah.
00:10:52
Speaker 2: No.
00:10:53
Speaker 1: You can see his face. Yes.
00:10:55
Speaker 2: He did Full Frontal Nudity in the West End. Yes. Oh, I thought it almost came to you. Can I please do this?
00:11:02
Speaker 1: You sure it's Harry Potter?
00:11:02
Speaker 2: No.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the Harry Potter actor.
00:11:05
Speaker 2: Wait.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: No, we can come up with this. Bros, no. This isn't a good exercise. You're cheating.
00:11:09
Speaker 2: I'm not looking. All right. We'll just have to move on then. All right. So when we come back, hopefully by the time we have our commercial break, we'll be able to figure out who the Harry Potter actor is that everybody is screaming now out loud. And we'll tell you what the audience review said about Clayface. Welcome back everyone to Amy and TJ. We are talking about Clayface. It is a box office success. Yes. I mean, this did really well. It was number one and we, we would be willing to bet it's going to do just as well in the coming weeks because word of mouth is certainly going to spread about this one.
00:11:54
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of movies we, we are compelled to hop on and talk about. We couldn't wait to talk about this movie. Um, And we were in there, and this was one of those, as soon as the lights came up, me, you, and Sabine looking at each other, what did y'all think? What happened at the end? Well, I think that you're immediately talking about what took place and comparing notes. Oh, it was such a good time.
00:12:13
Speaker 2: It was amazing. And so, yes, the audience, we mentioned 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. I picked it. This was one of the reviews, Pure Perfection. easily the best horror movie of the year so far. Clayface nails every single beat with an amazing plot and near-perfect fight choreography. That scene where Matt Hagen hits the red carpet after fixing his face gave me absolute chills. Do not miss this one.
00:12:42
Speaker 1: That was a good one. That was a good triumph, and you were happy for him again. That was good. It was an emotional rollercoaster, the up and down.
00:12:48
Speaker 2: It really was, because you were rooting for him. You were invested in his story. You wanted him to succeed. He didn't make that big of a mistake to have to pay that kind of a price. And so you wanted redemption for him. I kept having to remind myself, it's a movie. This didn't actually happen in real life because I was feeling so invested in the character and seeing him finally get what he was due.
00:13:14
Speaker 1: I just wanted him to get his face back. I wanted him to get his career back. I wanted him to just go about his business. And that is not the case because, yes, it's an origin story of a villain. He has to become a bad guy by the end of the movie. So how does he do that? I guess it's the climax of the movie, the club scene at the end. It is such a good time. On the dance floor, you have a dance routine. This movie is funny along the way, and it's almost ridiculous at times. And you're laughing not because they crack a joke, but just because they accept what it is and what they are. This is ridiculous that this character could do this thing. Let's have some fun with it. He was awesome.
00:13:53
Speaker 2: Uh, he really was. And I hope, you know, obviously everyone who's in the movie already has some pretty, um, amazing projects in their resume, but this should get these folks even more movies because they really did carry this movie in such a wonderful way. Um, the plane, you wanted to talk about the plane.
00:14:11
Speaker 1: This is the only, this, this, there is one. And again, we're not giving it away because it is in the, uh, trailer. Um, And the trailer, of course, you see the idea. You know the idea. Clayface's face is falling apart at times. The scene on the plane that you see in the preview ropes where his eyelids start to shut. And they're just holding on by a few strands of, like, skin that'll fold it down. He can't see. And he has to open his eyes by using his tiny scissors.
00:14:44
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:14:45
Speaker 1: That scene, I swear it went an hour. That scene was so tough to watch.
00:14:50
Speaker 2: We were laughing. We were so skeeved out.
00:14:52
Speaker 1: We were squirming. We couldn't believe just pushing and shoving each other. Like, oh, my God.
00:14:58
Speaker 2: And they created so much tension on the plane because they were facing turbulence. Oh, yeah. And the flight attendant's like, you have to sit down, sir. You got to get back. And it's rattling on the plane. And his eyelids are closing in on each other.
00:15:10
Speaker 1: And he's moving around trying to cut his eyes.
00:15:13
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:15:14
Speaker 1: It is a great, great, great scene. It's fun. Is that the grossest scene in the movie?
00:15:21
Speaker 2: There's a couple gross scenes. I mean, that is among the hardest.
00:15:25
Speaker 1: Ones to watch, I would say. Body horror-wise?
00:15:27
Speaker 2: Body horror-wise, that's up there. And anything to do with eyes, I just....
00:15:34
Speaker 1: It's so tough.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: All right, did you come up with the actor's name, Harry Potter?
00:15:37
Speaker 1: No, no idea.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: Neither did I, so I have the Google ready to go.
00:15:39
Speaker 1: I have the Google? The Google, oh.
00:15:41
Speaker 2: My gosh, of course. Daniel Radcliffe.
00:15:44
Speaker 1: Duh. That would have taken me a minute.
00:15:46
Speaker 2: That would have taken you... And it's funny, I kept remembering... Wait, that was Harry Potter? Yeah, I remember... Yes, that was Daniel Radcliffe. Rupert Grint played his redhead friend, Ron Weasley. Emma Watson played Hermione Granger. So yes, Granger, I remembered... Emma Watson's name, I could not think of Daniel Radcliffe's.
00:16:03
Speaker 1: Is it weird? I've never seen a Harry Potter movie. You haven't? Not one. Did they make 12 of them or something?
00:16:10
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a lot. I can't remember how many, but my daughters were obsessed with them. They were at the right age. They read all the books. I went to all the movies with them. And they were actually really good, I have to say. It was one of my more favorite movie series that I had to go attend to go with my kids. You would like it. I think you would. Why are you looking at me like that?
00:16:32
Speaker 1: Because we're here to talk about Clayface, okay?
00:16:34
Speaker 2: All right, Clayface, you got to go see it, everybody. It is fantastic. We promise you it will get you in the Halloween spirit. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach, alongside TJ Holmes.
00:16:47
Speaker 1: We'll talk soon.
