I didn't watch The Substance the normal way, I watched two reaction channels watch it because I hate body horror. I get why people love this movie because of the commentary and theme but I don't like cheesy or campy movies.
But at least I can understand what people are talking about when they bring this movie up. I'm glad I watched it like that vs not watching it at all and missing out on the conversation. (Not this podcast conversation, I mean in general.)
I seen people complain about Alien: Romulus because it's not brave enough to do something completely new like Alien 3 did. I agree but I still think Romulus was better. It was safer but it was never boring. I loved the drama between the main character and her brother.
Alien 3 got boring and stupid real fast. It was only cool to see a dog version of the alien but that's not enough to make me recommend it.
Plus, people were sick of them trying to be "brave" with the Alien movies. Just make it simple with well written characters. A reset from the "we got to think of something big!" mindset.
Watch Blind Wave react to it because their energy made me rethink some of those cheesy moments Steve hated. Instead of those moments being cringe, they were funny. The Blind Wave boys made me wish my husband and I could've watched it with them.
Because after we finished it, we both nitpicked some stuff and then after watching Blindwave, we took back most of our nitpicks. It was fun seeing parts of that movie in a new way. And that's how much I loved it, that I had to go see it again with Blind Wave.
I agree that the android looked weird. But I disagree with Steve that the monster at the end was bad. It was awesome and very creepy!
That movie made me excited for the second game to Alien Isolation.
Elliott's Car GOT SHOT... A LOT
6:09 The smooth 'yes and' is so satisfying and funny.
I hope that family watches this episode.
I would love to see a play like what Elliott experienced but for Alan Wake 1 and 2!
TURNS OUT FIRE IS TERRIFYING
That's how most romance books look and sound in my head. Just cringe dialogue and lazy writing. None of those shitty books should be 5 stars. (I'm joking. Calm down, Barbara.)
26:08 Nice to have this call back throughout the episode. Thank you, Elliott! It's a good little rest stop to laugh.
Them talking about why they would stay somewhere vs moving to live somewhere else like it's so easy. As if the hardest part is the discission. Every location I have lived at, hasn't really been a choice. I'm poor as fuck. I would love to be able to choose where to live based on location or vibe.
39:32 True! Japan should be shamed for that! I always hated the sexualization of girls in anime. I don't know why there hasn't been a big movement about it yet. The anime community ignores it or just shakes their head.
Dog Enters the Chat
Treat your cats like you would your dogs. If bitchy dogs usually come around to liking you but a bitchy cat wont, it's because you're not showing as much patience with it like you did with the dog.
"Maybe it's me." No doubt about that.
Every cat I had, let me pet and carry it around. That's not rare. Are you telling me that I got lucky to get a friendly cat five fucking times in a row? 🙄
People getting unfriendly cats are the rare ones. Cat haters are in an echo chamber.
Both Grace and Bree had asshole dogs. While this is the one asshole cat you got and now you never want another one again? That's like experiencing Grace's or Bree's dog and saying you never want another dog again.
This is spoiled brat and baby brother energy.
Aly, from the Let's Get Haunted podcast, was so excited about that alien egg. She was thinking it was high tech like this:
40:59 Thank you, Joe. Everyone that was smug about the TikTok ban are selfish.
44:26 Nice callback.
I feel your frustration about Steve's bullshit, Joe. TikTok was banned because our country doesn't control it. It had nothing to do with other countries having our data. So much anti-trump videos are hidden now.
Tiktok was more than just silly videos. This is a huge censorship that people like Steve are shrugging at just because they aren't affected.
There's that spoiled brat energy again.
Thank you, Elliott for ending this podcast on a lighter note.
Steve and Elliott GO OFF on Content Creators
Again, I don't feel sorry for Steve about his cat. Just do what Mike Falzone said, sit on it to kill it.
Next topic.
34:21 I love shitting on soulless, pointless and stupid vlogs. I used to love certain cozy content creators until I realized, with each video, that they didn't have talent like I thought they did. I began to notice that they were putting on a persona.
So maybe some realization will hit the viewers of the channel that Steve is talking about. But I guess people love to hate watch. Couldn't be me.
The channels I dropped don't give a shit about putting more thought into their videos because they have so many views from hate watchers or from people who can't tell it's fake trash yet.
Here are some of the cozy channels that I love to have on while I color, eat or journal. You can tell they care about what they share. It shows that they aren't putting on a show for sponsors, they actually love these hobbies:
(I enjoyed keeping up with her hard work on her house. This might seem boring to others but I love watching people work on their cabins or small homes.)
