00:00.091 --> 00:10.236
[SPEAKER_00]: So tonight, Rossi and I are going to be reviewing Nokey on Strong, this is the new horror movie, and, you know, going into this, I didn't know exactly what to expect.

00:10.316 --> 00:20.040
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the same director who made Wayne the Pooh blood honey, and I'm not, I was not really interested in that movie, but with this movie, I love the mythology around Pinocchio.

00:20.160 --> 00:21.801
[SPEAKER_00]: I also love the shadow puppets.

00:22.292 --> 00:27.037
[SPEAKER_00]: That they actually brought to the forefront to give us the legend up in Tokyo, right.

00:27.278 --> 00:28.319
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just love it.

00:28.359 --> 00:39.672
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks like those that call back to the candy man, the way they did the new version of candy man called the mingo and having that animated puppets at the very beginning to basically tell us.

00:40.192 --> 00:49.678
[SPEAKER_00]: where came to me and came from just as how this director's also setting up his Pinocchio movie to tell us our Pinocchio comes from but I've loved that very beginning with the shadow puppets.

00:49.738 --> 00:52.359
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it set the tone for what we've written.

00:52.379 --> 00:52.859
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

00:52.879 --> 00:56.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah and I just want to give credit to the actors really quick you guys.

00:56.301 --> 00:58.883
[SPEAKER_01]: So we have Richard Blake, he's the Jepetto.

00:59.243 --> 01:01.985
[SPEAKER_01]: We have Robert England who plays the voice of cricket.

01:02.665 --> 01:05.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Cameron Bell plays James Jessica Bormer plays Mia.

01:05.927 --> 01:13.094
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and I really thought that the acting and the film was really good, so the casting was great.

01:13.975 --> 01:15.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoyed the film.

01:15.777 --> 01:20.762
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, you don't want to take it too seriously, but for what they did.

01:21.603 --> 01:23.064
[SPEAKER_01]: They did a great job.

01:23.264 --> 01:40.372
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved the introduction of Pinocchio kind of scared me as he's, you know, Jepetto has a grandson, his name is James, and Jepetto's been working on this new puppet, you know, and he's worked on many, but when he introduces Pinocchio and how he runs,

01:41.212 --> 01:42.092
[SPEAKER_01]: towards James.

01:42.212 --> 01:45.893
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I freaked out myself because it was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.

01:46.373 --> 01:56.256
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it was a bit much and seen him and hearing the creaking of his wooden bones that whatever you want to call it was also very, very creepy.

01:56.316 --> 01:59.797
[SPEAKER_01]: So good job on on Pinocchio.

02:00.592 --> 02:06.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and that's something I want to bring up, though, too, is like, James is actually going through the loss of losing one of his friends.

02:07.215 --> 02:20.041
[SPEAKER_00]: So his grandfather, Japan, I thought, okay, let me introduce you to my creepy as a wooden puppet, but give you a chance to cope with the loss and I like how they're looking up at the night stars.

02:20.903 --> 02:23.664
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're having a conversation about life and death.

02:24.164 --> 02:26.545
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Trapato goes on ahead.

02:26.925 --> 02:29.526
[SPEAKER_00]: He introduces James to Pinocchio.

02:29.906 --> 02:30.386
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're right.

02:30.446 --> 02:38.048
[SPEAKER_00]: The creeping this aspect of Pinocchio, hurrying up, just running up the James like he like he can't wait.

02:38.068 --> 02:41.349
[SPEAKER_00]: He's excited because he is a little boy and this wouldn't body.

02:41.929 --> 02:53.277
[SPEAKER_00]: And this I have to say the mixing and the sound effects like you mentioned with this with the creaking of the arms and the body movements and also this top motion animation in itself.

02:53.457 --> 02:53.857
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.

02:54.277 --> 02:55.478
[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good.

02:55.638 --> 03:03.464
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like this was like watching your 80s or 90s movie all over again because I feel like we're missing these kind of movies in today's time.

03:03.884 --> 03:06.826
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's not really anything that I can say that

03:07.767 --> 03:21.015
[SPEAKER_00]: is like really CGI or anything because I can actually reach out over there and touch Anokio and just the whole entire deal of him coming up to him and hearing the clicking this.

03:21.736 --> 03:23.897
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it made my hair stand up on that.

03:24.157 --> 03:24.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

03:24.817 --> 03:32.242
[SPEAKER_01]: And I also thought that the connection that because remember guys, you know, the

03:37.605 --> 03:42.327
[SPEAKER_01]: And so when Pinocchio meets James, there's this bond that they both have.

03:42.387 --> 03:47.549
[SPEAKER_01]: And James just instantly falls in love with Pinocchio, like that's a real friend to him.

03:48.149 --> 03:51.851
[SPEAKER_01]: And so Pinocchio becomes very attached to James.

03:52.551 --> 03:53.932
[SPEAKER_01]: And not the best way though.

03:54.192 --> 03:58.834
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's not the best way though.

03:59.774 --> 04:05.197
[SPEAKER_00]: The way that I like this is like Pinocchio's also trying to figure out the world that James

04:07.299 --> 04:11.725
[SPEAKER_00]: And also, he's, this is his first friend that he had since he's been made, right?

04:11.745 --> 04:15.429
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't really know any kind of human contact other than Japano.

04:15.449 --> 04:16.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

04:16.451 --> 04:21.537
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's, Japano wants up, putting basically Pinocchio spends the night with James.

04:21.838 --> 04:22.158
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

04:22.258 --> 04:24.261
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're watching a discovery channel.

04:25.079 --> 04:54.067
[SPEAKER_00]: It's about being the protector about being in the friend and Pinocchio has now drilled in his head now that he's James's friend and protector and yes, do anything for James anything and I also like that moment, though, where Japano takes Pinocchio out of the bed and goes the world is not ready for you right now, right and he wants to be with James he wants to go to school with James he wants to do the things that real boys do.

04:54.692 --> 04:57.074
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we had the blue fairy moment that comes into it.

04:57.094 --> 04:57.815
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

04:58.255 --> 04:59.876
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was another creepy thing.

04:59.916 --> 05:06.722
[SPEAKER_00]: So, well, if you want to be a real boy, you just go ahead and you collect the body parts of other humans.

05:07.222 --> 05:07.562
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

05:08.483 --> 05:08.823
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

05:08.863 --> 05:15.569
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and then you have Robert England as I'm sorry, I'm geeked up because Robert England has chimney cricket.

05:15.889 --> 05:16.690
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.

05:16.970 --> 05:17.730
[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good.

05:17.971 --> 05:19.031
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll get into that in a few.

05:19.312 --> 05:19.572
[UNKNOWN]: Go ahead.

05:20.975 --> 05:26.681
[SPEAKER_01]: No, um, I think when, you know, and there's one thing that just like you guys know, Jepaddo, let's change.

05:26.761 --> 05:29.263
[SPEAKER_01]: No, now you can't tell anyone about him.

05:29.984 --> 05:32.846
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like he told Pinocchio, no one's ready for you.

05:33.467 --> 05:37.351
[SPEAKER_01]: And so you would hope that James wouldn't tell anyone.

05:37.391 --> 05:38.712
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, he's a young kid.

05:39.192 --> 05:40.113
[SPEAKER_01]: He has good friends.

05:40.514 --> 05:45.318
[SPEAKER_01]: And so going to school, he puts Pinocchio in his backpack and in Pinocchio.

05:46.439 --> 05:49.580
[SPEAKER_01]: gets to go and see the world and get to see James Friends.

05:50.120 --> 05:58.682
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I also felt that he was a little bit jealous of the closeness that James had to his other friend and the female friend that he had.

05:59.263 --> 06:12.726
[SPEAKER_01]: But also, Pinocchio got to see that things at school for James was also not that great because there's a group of bullies that bully James and Pinocchio sees that in the look that he has

06:15.967 --> 06:28.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this is not going to be good because remember he is now James Protector and he takes it seriously plus he needs to skin the body to become a real boy so he thinks.

06:28.891 --> 06:46.927
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, and his mind he thinks that because it's a very godmother told him, but you know what I like though about this though is it does it changes the fact that this is a slasher movie because I was thinking going in had Pinocchio is just going to be slashing people up in the house that somebody moved into.

06:46.947 --> 06:47.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's it.

06:48.328 --> 06:51.531
[SPEAKER_00]: But it humanizes Pinocchio and humanizes.

06:52.882 --> 06:57.307
[SPEAKER_00]: of that character and makes us care about changes in Pinocchio's relationship.

06:57.507 --> 06:57.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

06:57.828 --> 06:59.650
[SPEAKER_00]: And like you mentioned, I also thought the same thing.

06:59.670 --> 07:02.913
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, this is not going to be good for James's friends because he's jealous.

07:03.534 --> 07:05.916
[SPEAKER_00]: What he doesn't have in all this time, if him's being

07:10.703 --> 07:16.965
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I need to not be letting be friends with these people because he's all that I need.

07:17.025 --> 07:21.046
[SPEAKER_00]: But what you see that line is drawn of like, these are good kids.

07:21.846 --> 07:22.966
[SPEAKER_00]: These are James's friends.

07:23.426 --> 07:23.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

07:24.386 --> 07:26.307
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need a cross any boundaries with that.

07:26.527 --> 07:27.067
[SPEAKER_00]: They're good.

07:27.847 --> 07:31.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Then all of a sudden you see the douchebag kids picking on him.

07:31.808 --> 07:34.289
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, okay, these are the people I need to go after.

07:34.749 --> 07:34.949
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

07:35.928 --> 07:40.893
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a lot of laughter does he got like a terrible terrible.

07:41.294 --> 07:43.756
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think about that Jim scene, remember we were talking about.

07:43.776 --> 07:45.998
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they kind of had that final destination.

07:46.018 --> 07:52.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the Jim scene to me was like this final destination moment within the film itself like.

07:52.425 --> 08:02.371
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a girl on the treadmill and then he's looking around and I'm thinking to myself, is he going to pull the weight pin from from where the kid is lifting weights?

08:02.752 --> 08:08.315
[SPEAKER_00]: But no, he's just a curious little puppet that's just wanting to say what's going on.

08:09.236 --> 08:15.580
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, Johnny five, but I made I would, but you know, he's just very, right?

08:17.785 --> 08:26.010
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you know, that first scene when you have your first kill done, that's when you realize, oh, wow, this is going to be grotesque.

08:26.250 --> 08:38.217
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the way the weight hit the woman's face and smashes her face and you you see her eye or face is smashed, but you see this eye moving at that point.

08:38.237 --> 08:39.477
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, oh, this is great.

08:39.517 --> 08:43.300
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be really gory and it was it was gory as

08:46.017 --> 08:54.200
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that scene was gory, but I also like the fact that she's shocked at the fact of which she's seen, but she's not sure what she's seeing.

08:54.841 --> 09:04.865
[SPEAKER_00]: I would actually have an artifact too on fall off the treadmill, but the way they do this scene is perfectly layered out and also gives you anxiety as this film is going.

09:05.445 --> 09:09.488
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you know, at first, she's just, you see her, okay, she's just exercising.

09:09.748 --> 09:17.273
[SPEAKER_00]: But as it keeps on going and building up that tension, she's going faster and faster and the person's lifting weights up and down.

09:17.333 --> 09:18.094
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, faster.

09:18.995 --> 09:29.682
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's seeing alone with something that just gave me goosebumps and fun on this nation, perhaps on it, but still, I really have to say they did a good job with the prosthetics with that.

09:30.462 --> 09:32.524
[SPEAKER_00]: So that that scene really stands out to me.

09:32.983 --> 09:34.785
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they did a good job with that scene.

09:35.486 --> 09:46.456
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the fact that when James is on this way, home, the major part of when things really get going, James is hit by a drunk driver.

09:47.758 --> 09:54.584
[SPEAKER_01]: And the problem with that was if you remember the driver that was driving James happened to look back because he heard

09:55.205 --> 09:59.790
[SPEAKER_01]: He heard a voice that wasn't supposed to be in the car, and he happens to look back.

09:59.830 --> 10:05.615
[SPEAKER_01]: They get hit by a drunk driver, Pinocchio being intent on making sure that James is okay.

10:06.076 --> 10:08.338
[SPEAKER_01]: And he gets really pissed if someone hurts James.

10:08.939 --> 10:10.500
[SPEAKER_01]: And so like he felt James.

10:10.961 --> 10:14.204
[SPEAKER_01]: So his thing is, oh, I got to make sure I take care of that person.

10:14.244 --> 10:17.928
[SPEAKER_01]: And when they're in the hospital, I mean, he just goes, I am a guy.

10:19.133 --> 10:21.395
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that scene was nuts.

10:22.055 --> 10:24.237
[SPEAKER_00]: It was, he goes, this is for James.

10:24.417 --> 10:33.304
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just keeps on hammering on with the, with the scaffold, it's, it's a whole lot of deal.

10:33.324 --> 10:40.210
[SPEAKER_00]: And he also puts the organs in his stomach because he thinks that if he flexes these organs, he becomes a real boy.

10:40.609 --> 10:47.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, because his mind of the fact that he will never be accepted by signing unless he becomes a real boy.

10:47.654 --> 10:50.256
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's thinking, I got to collect these body parts.

10:50.696 --> 10:52.737
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, this is for James.

10:53.118 --> 11:00.383
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he's sneaking out of the hospital room, like Chucky from Charles Play.

11:00.703 --> 11:02.144
[SPEAKER_00]: He's hanging onto like a little cart.

11:02.484 --> 11:05.666
[SPEAKER_00]: I like how the little cart just be so long up there.

11:06.896 --> 11:07.777
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just writing it.

11:07.817 --> 11:09.839
[SPEAKER_01]: People walking by, don't even see him.

11:10.299 --> 11:11.280
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's on a mission.

11:11.300 --> 11:12.802
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like he knows where he's going.

11:12.822 --> 11:18.067
[SPEAKER_01]: He knows what he's doing because he's following the doctor that treated the drunk driver.

11:19.208 --> 11:27.336
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, the thing about them not seeing him at that part, you realize, okay, the movie is what it is.

11:29.558 --> 11:33.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't take it too seriously, um, but I was like, come on, you guys come on.

11:33.780 --> 11:34.561
[SPEAKER_01]: No one sees them.

11:35.241 --> 11:43.005
[SPEAKER_01]: No one sees this this bloody little Anilky walking around, but I do like the fact that he did open up his stomach, but the organs in there and it's like, okay.

11:44.585 --> 11:45.226
[SPEAKER_01]: That fact done.

11:45.606 --> 11:47.407
[SPEAKER_01]: Now to go and collect the rest.

11:48.387 --> 11:48.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

11:48.748 --> 11:50.829
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has to figure out how to collect the rest of it.

11:50.929 --> 11:51.209
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

11:52.489 --> 11:57.912
[SPEAKER_00]: He goes back into James's bag and and your pedals over there comforting James and

11:58.369 --> 11:59.950
[SPEAKER_00]: James sneaks him back into the bag.

12:00.750 --> 12:04.193
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, I love the friendship between the two of them.

12:04.213 --> 12:05.934
[SPEAKER_00]: You actually do feel that friendship.

12:06.734 --> 12:09.516
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's only a 90 minute movie.

12:09.836 --> 12:13.578
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like the fact that it's only the run times only 90 minutes for this type of film.

12:14.019 --> 12:15.359
[SPEAKER_00]: So it actually sets up a lot.

12:15.379 --> 12:18.501
[SPEAKER_00]: It establishes a lot right then and there at the very first 10 minutes.

12:18.862 --> 12:24.425
[SPEAKER_00]: But also too, you also care about Japano as well with the relationship between James,

12:25.203 --> 12:32.770
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when you have that change of where we meet up with Japano later on, it's a total change.

12:33.350 --> 12:43.679
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't see that change in coming, but from a grandfather's standpoint, from him caring for James at the very beginning and then the transformation later on on what happened.

12:44.640 --> 12:46.702
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the layers that they gave him.

12:47.322 --> 12:48.223
[SPEAKER_01]: I really loved it.

12:49.217 --> 12:54.319
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was the sweet, he was what you would expect if your grandfather to be, I mean, sweet as guy.

12:54.399 --> 12:58.381
[SPEAKER_01]: So when you're watching a film, I wasn't expecting that change, you know?

12:59.002 --> 12:59.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Not at all.

12:59.642 --> 13:06.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I figured that if James got caught, taken Pinocchi out of the house, it wouldn't be what it ended up being.

13:06.945 --> 13:16.570
[SPEAKER_01]: But thanks to his friend, girl, that, you know, when they come into the house and they go and investigate more of what, what your petal has down in his basement,

13:17.410 --> 13:18.451
[SPEAKER_01]: You're wild by that.

13:18.511 --> 13:26.535
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you're already wild by the fact that there's a fairy god, a god mother, or whatever that is evil talking to James.

13:26.595 --> 13:40.062
[SPEAKER_01]: So you like, okay, so Jepettos done this before, but you don't realize how many times he's done it and who Pinocchio actually is where he actually got Pinocchio from exactly.

13:40.122 --> 13:41.443
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love it.

13:42.343 --> 13:43.724
[SPEAKER_00]: It was shocking, but you know,

13:44.484 --> 14:05.103
[SPEAKER_00]: So another thing I want to say is like the tree aspect of it, you don't expect a tree to be down in the basement, like you said, Rossi, he's done this over and over again so many times through the point that you don't see that happening until like later on, but still the payoff for that was really well done well executed.

14:06.153 --> 14:07.354
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I thought it was really good.

14:07.414 --> 14:14.039
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fact that, you know, there's a point where Chipet was telling Pinocchio, this is where you came from and showing him.

14:14.179 --> 14:21.425
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you see that tree and that he's telling Pinocchio, he's tried many different times to reach to create him.

14:21.985 --> 14:26.309
[SPEAKER_01]: And Pinocchio is the best one that he had at that point.

14:26.769 --> 14:31.072
[SPEAKER_01]: But then there's other things that he has down there that's caged up that you just

14:31.913 --> 14:33.254
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, what are you doing?

14:33.814 --> 14:34.934
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you doing?

14:35.595 --> 14:43.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, pretty dangerous stuff, you know, and Pinocchio being so innocent, I love that because he wasn't for that.

14:43.738 --> 14:50.601
[SPEAKER_01]: So him doing all those things to protect James, you, you realize he, he doesn't know that it's wrong.

14:51.042 --> 14:52.042
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't know it's wrong.

14:52.282 --> 14:53.803
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he's only a little kid.

14:53.863 --> 14:55.203
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all he has exactly.

14:55.223 --> 14:56.184
[SPEAKER_01]: Innocence of the child.

14:56.804 --> 14:57.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

14:57.564 --> 15:03.147
[SPEAKER_00]: And so now I want to get into this other thing, though, too, is the kills for this.

15:03.327 --> 15:03.627
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

15:04.268 --> 15:12.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Because, you know, when we meet this other kid that's a total ball bag, Jay, he, he, he, he, he, one's a, whatever goes, who's that?

15:12.152 --> 15:12.872
[SPEAKER_00]: That's an asshole.

15:13.072 --> 15:13.833
[SPEAKER_00]: What's an asshole?

15:14.333 --> 15:17.615
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I like the little comedy moments between Pinocchio and him.

15:17.715 --> 15:24.498
[SPEAKER_00]: I think those moments are great, but what happens to these kids at this party that they're having,

15:25.343 --> 15:33.866
[SPEAKER_00]: it is so good, but you want these kids to get what they deserve.

15:34.066 --> 15:35.266
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, what do they get it.

15:35.607 --> 15:42.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, and I also like when you have Germany cricket who's played voiced by Robert England comes over there and he has like a little plug.

15:43.413 --> 15:53.563
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's flying over there slowly and if you don't give us, do you have it or not, just I'm only three foot tall, look, I'm going to get there when I get there.

15:53.743 --> 15:54.724
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just prayer phrasing.

15:54.744 --> 16:00.169
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going for me don't right then he drops the plug over there to electrocute.

16:00.768 --> 16:01.509
[SPEAKER_00]: one of the bullies.

16:02.129 --> 16:04.090
[SPEAKER_01]: It was it was it was pretty brutal.

16:04.150 --> 16:07.353
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fact that there's an Easter egg in the film.

16:07.953 --> 16:15.579
[SPEAKER_01]: So the one boy who is one of James's bullies is sitting by the pool and he has its earphones on.

16:16.259 --> 16:28.049
[SPEAKER_01]: He's listening to something and when they show it to you, it's from the the we need to poo the poo horror film that that the director of this film actually did.

16:28.169 --> 16:35.154
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a little easter egg that you get to see in the film, which I thought was really cool, but this kid has no idea what's going on.

16:35.835 --> 16:37.636
[SPEAKER_01]: The girl just got to let you get in a pool.

16:38.137 --> 16:39.358
[SPEAKER_01]: There's things that's about to go up

16:45.270 --> 16:49.192
[SPEAKER_00]: No, and on top of that, the girl is also getting her hair pulled off.

16:49.613 --> 17:01.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh, right, scout, scout, and, you know, don't forget, he's, at this point, he's already got the teeth because he collected the teeth, oh, I'm not, yes, I'm something from another victim, but I'm not going to tell you how he does that.

17:02.075 --> 17:02.335
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

17:02.535 --> 17:04.056
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's got the teeth.

17:04.077 --> 17:10.781
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got everything he needs all except a couple weather things and he takes the girls here and puts it on him.

17:11.182 --> 17:13.103
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody's inside of silence at the lamps.

17:13.343 --> 17:17.486
[SPEAKER_00]: It reminds me of that one, you know what the scene I'm talking about, Ross.

17:17.586 --> 17:18.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, absolutely.

17:18.947 --> 17:19.748
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yes.

17:20.008 --> 17:21.789
[SPEAKER_01]: And also the Grimmlins.

17:21.830 --> 17:23.311
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember when he gets his full

17:24.505 --> 17:26.646
[SPEAKER_01]: His hair, his lips, his everything.

17:26.786 --> 17:28.767
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like that character from the Grimlins.

17:28.848 --> 17:33.490
[SPEAKER_01]: And I promise you guys, you guys won't even, you'll know the scene when you see it.

17:33.930 --> 17:39.514
[SPEAKER_01]: And also, I love the fact that parts of Pinocchio's body is actually very dangerous.

17:39.594 --> 17:45.057
[SPEAKER_01]: His nose grows and becomes these violent spirits that he can throw at you and like,

17:45.817 --> 17:56.387
[SPEAKER_01]: know you up against the wall and I wasn't expecting that then it grows back and he throws another so I loved how they did that that parts of Panova's body and his hands are pretty strong.

17:56.427 --> 18:00.912
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean he's able to rip you apart with his bare hands, so wooden hands that is

18:01.620 --> 18:08.546
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know what though, I would have been funny if they put some dark humor into where he has to tell a lie and order to make his nose grow.

18:08.686 --> 18:10.087
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would be great.

18:11.048 --> 18:17.414
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, but I do like the authenticity of it though, where he uses the nose as a weapon.

18:17.874 --> 18:18.174
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

18:18.214 --> 18:19.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Take down the boy.

18:19.395 --> 18:20.436
[SPEAKER_00]: So I love that.

18:20.536 --> 18:24.860
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, then at this moment, he has like all the body parts.

18:25.060 --> 18:26.401
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's still, I mean.

18:27.682 --> 18:31.545
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to say that this was a great watch for us.

18:31.745 --> 18:35.248
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just something, if you're looking for something, just a horror fight, right?

18:35.548 --> 18:36.549
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a gore fast.

18:36.589 --> 18:39.030
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just a stop popcorn in your face.

18:39.471 --> 18:43.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Turn on your brain for 90 minutes and enjoy a good horror movie.

18:43.934 --> 18:50.159
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's funny, you know, so it is one of those films.

18:51.039 --> 18:53.321
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think I would like it and I really enjoyed it.

18:53.461 --> 18:55.362
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the fact that it was in and out.

18:55.442 --> 18:59.065
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you didn't have to wait forever for the for stuff to start.

18:59.105 --> 19:03.208
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the film got right into it, but everyone did a great job.

19:03.228 --> 19:06.810
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just I thought for a film like this to have such great actors in it.

19:07.963 --> 19:36.728
[SPEAKER_01]: It helped out a lot because it helps you to at least enjoy the story and not a B rated a bunch of B rated actors that can act that group, you know, so I do have to say that they did a really good job, what casting and if you stick around towards the very end after the credits are rolling, you get to see a little bit of behind the scenes and how they made Pinocchio and it looked like they had a great time on set making this film.

19:37.710 --> 19:41.612
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what, I didn't get a chance to watch the picture editor or anything, because I didn't know about it.

19:41.732 --> 19:47.676
[SPEAKER_00]: But now that you told me I'm going to go ahead and check it out because I like behind the scene feature rats on.

19:47.776 --> 19:48.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.

19:48.456 --> 19:48.956
[SPEAKER_01]: Perfect.

19:49.056 --> 19:57.901
[SPEAKER_00]: I missed out about by miss having those kind of features on a blue ray disc because sometimes they missed those elements.

19:58.422 --> 20:00.863
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's why I like arrow video and stuff because of that.

20:01.363 --> 20:01.644
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

20:01.704 --> 20:02.004
[SPEAKER_00]: But.

20:02.952 --> 20:05.835
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I have to say, no, give it was a great time.

20:05.935 --> 20:07.536
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, no alcohol required.

20:07.556 --> 20:17.946
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is, but for me to go into this, whereas my first movie that we actually reviewed by this director, right?

20:18.675 --> 20:29.905
[SPEAKER_00]: It makes me intrigued on what else he can do with other films that are going to be released to the public for public domain because what I would like to see I would like to see an Alice on Wonderland.

20:30.385 --> 20:35.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, remember the old classic super Nintendo Sega game where it's like, Gothic.

20:36.450 --> 20:40.854
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I was hoping to Tim Burton when we do, but instead of maybe it looked like it was on LSD, but still.

20:42.375 --> 20:43.296
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see it.

20:43.736 --> 20:45.017
[SPEAKER_00]: But I want to see a slasher dark.

20:46.523 --> 20:48.104
[SPEAKER_00]: thing of Allison Wonderland.

20:48.504 --> 20:51.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but I went into this thing and this was going to be a straight-up slasher.

20:52.247 --> 20:54.429
[SPEAKER_00]: I wound up caring about the characters like you said, Rossi.

20:54.769 --> 20:55.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:56.390 --> 21:06.477
[SPEAKER_00]: It could actually be that way where you don't care about the characters or anything with that, but whether the actors are actually bringing these characters, you care about them.

21:06.537 --> 21:08.379
[SPEAKER_00]: He there's perfectly layered out.

21:09.538 --> 21:12.521
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah guys there's a lot more that we haven't talked about.

21:12.801 --> 21:16.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah with this with this movie So check it out whenever he gets released.

21:16.324 --> 21:26.513
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell us what you think in the comments But if you guys excited about Pinocchio and strong are you not excited tell us in the comments But whoa don't get don't forget to like subscribe and all that good stuff here
