Product placement
Letterboxd (a social cataloging app for film reviews) — ACTS: the creators use it to look up and display their ratings for the movie. Removing it would change the video's structure as it provides the basis for their discussion. Galaxy Theatres (a movie theater chain) — APPEARS: the logo and branding are visible on the theater walls and signage. Removing it would not change the video's content. Ko-fi (a creator monetization platform) — APPEARS: mentioned in the creator's bio link, but not demonstrated or discussed in the video. Removing it would not change the video.

Transcript
I'm actually praying it's scream. I'm not scream. Um, scary. I want like a serial killer movie. Look at this advisory. I think it's either Evil Dead Burn or, or in Psycho. All right guys, let's get down to business. Hey. 3.5. I would not watch that again. 3.5. Whoa. I wouldn't watch it again. Are you for real? It was just like so intense. I'm a 3.5. I feel like there was a lot going on. It was like really weird. Hi buddy. You see something? I just said buddy. We're going to summon him, bruh. Don't even mess with me with that fully. Blame Oliver. Oliver should have died sooner. The whole movie was like really unsettling. I had goosebumps. Crazy. I didn't feel that way. I was just kind of grossed out. There's like no closure, too. I just think it was the most interesting movie out of the mystery movies we've seen. Ranked on Letterboxd a 3.6. Buddy surpasses anything in that genre realm just because it's a fantastic piece of. I also thought the mailbox had more of a story to it, because why were we carrying around this mailbox? I know. Will we ever truly get a good mystery movie? Or do you think they put they give us bad movies on purpose? Give it a one. Give it a one and a half just because I like mom could tell that something was off and that she had a kid that was missing. Funny when they started singing the hate song. Because I was like, are you about to defeat this guy like Pennywise right now? I don't think that they needed to have that whole part with the western guys at all, actually. Yeah. No. It looked more scare going to that movie because I really thought it was going to be like a demonic thing. Mhm. Bro, the music was scary. No, every time like the little episode would end, like that was like the scary part. No, that was the scary. If you're going to watch it only once. You're going to watch it, watch it at home when it comes on a streaming service. Don't pay for it. I'll give it a three. Wow. This one I would never watch. But it did pretty good at like the 90s analog horror. Made me sit on the side with other people. Because you can't sit in the middle anymore. I think I should sit in the middle. Ava can never sit in the middle because she lies the whole entire time. No. At least I told you everything that me and O were talking about. Did you? Yeah, you would lie about it. I think my lies are funny though. You know when you both lied? When I asked you guys, oh, you guys want any popcorn? No. Both ate my popcorn by the way. We can even give you guys great content because of this movie. It's just like, damn.
