WEBVTT

00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:03.000
You know what that sound means? It's another

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.280
episode of Game for a Movie where we ask, are

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:07.259
you game for a movie? My name is Mike. I will

00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:10.400
be your host this evening. We have an interesting

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.720
bad movie tonight. Interesting in the fact that

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.460
I think it's a decent concept, just very poorly

00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:19.899
executed. But of course, we're going to get into

00:00:19.899 --> 00:00:23.079
more details of that soon. First, we got to dive

00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.980
into what are we drinking? Some of you may know

00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:29.480
that I have partnered with Row 94 Bourbon. Row

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.719
94 bourbon is a fantastic bourbon, especially

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.299
at its price point. It is made by Dierks Bentley,

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.079
one of the best country artists out there, one

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.140
of my favorite musicians out there. And he has

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:44.799
three different bourbons at this time. All of

00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.479
them are fantastic. I wouldn't say this if I

00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.340
didn't truly like it. There is no reason, like

00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:55.820
I'm not getting paid to say this right now. I

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:59.140
legitimately just like the bourbon. I think this

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:03.020
is a great bourbon and it is truly a fantastic

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:08.019
bourbon for what you are paying. It is a cheap

00:01:08.019 --> 00:01:12.239
price point for bourbon as well. It is just a

00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.859
good everyday bourbon. So I made an old fashioned

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:18.879
with it and I'm not going to be too worried.

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.959
about The Hangover because if I drink just a

00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.120
little too much, I also have a deal for you based

00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.519
on liqueur gummies. Liqueur gummies, they will

00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:35.239
help you on that. Feeling crappy feeling if you

00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.340
drank just a little too much the night before.

00:01:37.459 --> 00:01:40.780
If you use code GFAM for your liqueur gummies,

00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.400
they are going to help you prevent that hangover.

00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:47.079
Just use that code GFAM and you can save 20 %

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.159
off your order of liqueur gummies. Prevent those

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.159
hangovers so you are feeling fine the next morning.

00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:59.560
Okay. As I said before, we're going to talk about

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.420
a movie that I think has an interesting concept.

00:02:02.989 --> 00:02:06.469
just fell flat in the execution this was supposed

00:02:06.469 --> 00:02:09.550
to come out a couple weeks ago uh i've been busy

00:02:09.550 --> 00:02:13.389
just flat out that's what it's been i have gotten

00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:16.930
busy with a couple things with our son a couple

00:02:16.930 --> 00:02:19.310
things with work a couple things with life liberty

00:02:19.310 --> 00:02:23.189
pursuit of happiness all that good stuff so this

00:02:23.189 --> 00:02:25.129
was supposed to coincide with the bride coming

00:02:25.129 --> 00:02:28.990
out unfortunately just didn't happen at the right

00:02:28.990 --> 00:02:32.400
time that being said it's happening now This

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.340
is I Frankenstein. I Frankenstein came out in

00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:40.599
January of 2014. It is an hour and 32 minutes

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.620
long. It is a movie about obviously Frankenstein's

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:50.460
monster. It deals a little more. How do I say

00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:58.969
this? It's a little more about. A superhero Frankenstein's

00:02:58.969 --> 00:03:01.530
monster is what I will say. Let me give you the

00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:05.509
Rotten Tomatoes quick description. Two centuries

00:03:05.509 --> 00:03:08.689
after Dr. Frankenstein assembles and reanimates

00:03:08.689 --> 00:03:11.469
his creature, Adam is still living. He becomes

00:03:11.469 --> 00:03:14.090
embroiled in a war between two immortal races,

00:03:14.509 --> 00:03:16.750
gargoyles, the traditional protectors of mankind,

00:03:17.050 --> 00:03:19.969
and evil demons. Since Adam is neither human

00:03:19.969 --> 00:03:34.400
nor demon, gargoyle queen Leonore Like I said,

00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:37.979
interesting concept. I like the gargoyle point

00:03:37.979 --> 00:03:39.860
and everything like that. We'll get into all

00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:43.199
of that and everything. Here's where it falls

00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.460
short. It is a 5 % critic score and a 38 % audience

00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:52.740
score on Rotten Tomatoes. truthfully, I think

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:55.840
the audience score is a little high. The critics

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.699
score, I think we'll say is a little low. I don't

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:03.180
think it's necessarily a 5%. If I were to give

00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:08.060
a number to start off, I'd say probably 16, 17%,

00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:11.560
probably that feels about right. But yeah, so

00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:16.259
5%, 38%, that's where it falls. This movie had

00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:22.120
a 65. Is that million -dollar budget? Yes, $65

00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.800
million budget. That's an estimation. The gross

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.459
in U .S. and Canada was $19 million. Not great.

00:04:28.579 --> 00:04:33.540
The gross worldwide was about $76 ,801 million.

00:04:34.339 --> 00:04:42.139
So $76 ,801 ,179. So it made its money back,

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.319
kind of. Yeah. It was produced by Lionsgate.

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.459
It filmed mostly in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:57.120
It's got a pretty good cast. I will say that.

00:04:57.579 --> 00:04:59.560
There's a lot of people you would recognize.

00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:02.540
And it falls into the category of action fantasy

00:05:02.540 --> 00:05:06.980
sci -fi. I will say that normally this does not

00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:09.899
do things for me. I am not usually a fantasy

00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:12.920
sci -fi person. So this is a little tough for

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.750
me. I'm not going to lie. I may be a little harsher

00:05:16.750 --> 00:05:18.990
on this than somebody that likes those kind of

00:05:18.990 --> 00:05:22.769
things might be. We'll see what you think of

00:05:22.769 --> 00:05:27.410
it. The director is Stuart Beatty, and he also

00:05:27.410 --> 00:05:31.089
was one of the writers. Stuart Beatty is an interesting

00:05:31.089 --> 00:05:34.649
person as far as it comes to writing. Writing,

00:05:34.730 --> 00:05:38.649
he has a lot of weird ones, but the thing he

00:05:38.649 --> 00:05:41.589
mostly hit on... is he is one of the writers

00:05:41.589 --> 00:05:44.389
of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. He wrote

00:05:44.389 --> 00:05:46.370
the screen story for The Curse of the Black Pearl

00:05:46.370 --> 00:05:48.689
and then basically has been like a character's

00:05:48.689 --> 00:05:50.610
writer for the rest of the Pirates of the Caribbean

00:05:50.610 --> 00:05:54.730
movies. He also wrote Collateral, 30 Days of

00:05:54.730 --> 00:05:57.649
Night, Australia, G .I. Joe, The Rise of Cobra,

00:05:57.769 --> 00:06:02.470
and then he wrote and directed both This and

00:06:02.470 --> 00:06:05.410
Tomorrow When the War Began from 2010. Those

00:06:05.410 --> 00:06:09.279
are his only directing credits. He had a co -writer

00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.639
on this one. That co -writer is... I'm going

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.720
to say this wrong. I'm going to try my best.

00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:25.899
Here we go. Kevin Grievio. Something a little

00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:31.160
more like French, probably. Kevin is more of

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.100
an actor, I would say, than he is a writer. He

00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:38.079
has a few writing credits to his name. A lot

00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.699
of smaller things, most of which are the Underworld

00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:45.220
movies. He wrote the story for the original Underworld

00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:47.160
and then was a character writer for a lot of

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.639
those. He also has written a couple episodes

00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.180
for Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, Young Justice he wrote

00:06:54.180 --> 00:06:56.699
an episode for, and then he did the screenplay

00:06:56.699 --> 00:07:01.040
and directed King of Killers and War Dogs with

00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.519
a Z. So, yeah. But then he has 65 acting credits

00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.569
as well to his name. And of course, there's writing

00:07:08.569 --> 00:07:12.269
credit as well for Mary Shelley, as she so rightly

00:07:12.269 --> 00:07:15.149
deserves for writing the original Frankenstein

00:07:15.149 --> 00:07:20.550
novel. This movie stars Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy,

00:07:20.670 --> 00:07:24.949
Miranda Otto, Yvonne Strahovski, and Jay Courtney.

00:07:25.850 --> 00:07:28.350
Those are the big names in this one. There's

00:07:28.350 --> 00:07:31.029
a couple other people that are in this. Not many

00:07:31.029 --> 00:07:33.009
people that you'd recognize after that. Those

00:07:33.009 --> 00:07:35.829
are the big names that take up most of the screen

00:07:35.829 --> 00:07:41.610
time, honestly. I'm going to say those are the

00:07:41.610 --> 00:07:44.870
ones that you see on screen majority of the time.

00:07:44.970 --> 00:07:47.990
You see some of these other people, but truthfully,

00:07:48.089 --> 00:07:50.670
if you're going to see a character on here, it's

00:07:50.670 --> 00:07:54.529
one of those five, pretty much. Before we get

00:07:54.529 --> 00:07:56.529
started talking about this movie, just a little

00:07:56.529 --> 00:08:00.529
fun fact. I actually rented this from our library

00:08:00.529 --> 00:08:06.670
and I let it go three days past its due date.

00:08:06.870 --> 00:08:10.209
So I actually did pay a little bit of money for

00:08:10.209 --> 00:08:13.209
this. It's going to be a small fee. It's not

00:08:13.209 --> 00:08:16.569
going to be a lot, but I did actually pay a little

00:08:16.569 --> 00:08:19.850
money to watch this train wreck. All right. So

00:08:19.850 --> 00:08:21.949
let's get started talking about this movie. So

00:08:21.949 --> 00:08:27.009
you do not have to watch it. First note I have.

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.639
is there was a commercial on here. Like I said,

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.120
I got the DVD. There was a commercial on the

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.539
DVD for Fearnet .com, and I wanted to see where

00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:38.820
this takes you. Unfortunately, the website does

00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:41.279
not still exist. It takes you to SyFy's network

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.980
now, like the SyFy network, which is a little

00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:47.720
disappointing, but it's fine. SyFy, whatever.

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.120
This movie was also widescreen on the DVD, which

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.500
was kind of funny as well. We start on a mountain

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:58.240
where we see a man carrying a body and he is

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.899
walking up this mountain. He is trying to destroy

00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:04.440
the creature. This is Victor Frankenstein. Victor

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.620
Frankenstein is played by a relative. Nobody.

00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.000
Not a big deal because he has like three minutes

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.600
of actual screen time. The creature, of course,

00:09:12.659 --> 00:09:16.179
survives. He kills the creator's wife, runs to

00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:18.899
the north. And when the creator runs to chase

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:22.360
after him, he dies in the cold, freezes to death.

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.580
Then the creature takes him to his family's graveyard

00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:30.600
and buries him. And this is where the story truly

00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.580
begins. And if you feel like that was a lot,

00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:36.440
real quick, it was. It happened quickly. Like

00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:38.720
in a minute and a half, this happened. And it

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.840
was all done over with like some exposition.

00:09:43.850 --> 00:09:46.470
It happened real quickly. It just assumes you

00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:48.909
know the story of Frankenstein and Frankenstein's

00:09:48.909 --> 00:09:50.929
monster. Like, you know it right off the bat.

00:09:51.029 --> 00:09:53.970
You know everything that happened. So Frankenstein

00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:56.409
tried to kill the monster. Monster got away,

00:09:56.629 --> 00:09:59.470
killed Frankenstein's wife. Frankenstein chased

00:09:59.470 --> 00:10:02.450
after it, froze to death. And now we're here.

00:10:02.610 --> 00:10:05.529
So the monster tried to bury Frankenstein in

00:10:05.529 --> 00:10:08.370
the family's graveyard. And now there are some

00:10:08.370 --> 00:10:13.019
beings that are watching him bury. uh frankenstein

00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:16.139
in the graveyard and these three beings we don't

00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:18.799
know what they are but at first they are stronger

00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:23.039
than the monster but he is able to like dismantle

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:27.980
one of them um and when he does so there's like

00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:31.259
these gargoyles that appear and they kind of

00:10:31.259 --> 00:10:34.740
come to life and those gargoyles are able to

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:40.490
handle like the other two and These gargoyles

00:10:40.490 --> 00:10:44.870
then turn to humans and start talking about why

00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:49.649
Nibirius and the demons wanted this creature

00:10:49.649 --> 00:10:51.549
or wanted this human. They think it's a human

00:10:51.549 --> 00:10:56.009
at first. They then learn that it's not a human.

00:10:56.090 --> 00:11:00.649
It's Victor Frankenstein's creation. So they

00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:03.509
bring back the creation. They take it with them

00:11:03.509 --> 00:11:09.059
to their majesty, Miranda Otto or Leonore. So

00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:13.700
Leonore is the gargoyle queen. Leonore is Miranda

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:16.580
Otto, as I said. The monster, by the way, I didn't

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:20.419
say it, but it's Aaron Eckhart. And the two gargoyles,

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:29.279
their names are Ophir and Kezia. Those two are...

00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.299
kind of important but not really they're they're

00:11:33.299 --> 00:11:36.259
nobody's in the acting world i can give you a

00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:38.220
little bit of what they've done but truthfully

00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:41.139
they haven't done a whole lot besides like this

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:45.059
movie the guy who played ophir was in the marco

00:11:45.059 --> 00:11:48.519
polo tv show for 20 episodes and also has been

00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.519
the witcher for 18 episodes as uh vilga forts

00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.679
i haven't watched the witcher so i actually couldn't

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.580
tell you but he's vilga forts of rogovine If

00:11:58.580 --> 00:12:00.940
that means anything to you, I'm sorry if I butchered

00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:03.200
that as well. Like I said, I have not watched

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.720
The Witcher, so don't hate me. The person who

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:13.679
plays Kezia, for her, she was in Smile as Laura

00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.399
Weaver. She's been in a couple things here or

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:24.259
there. Like I said, it's probably the big thing

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:26.320
was she was Laura Weaver in Smile, but other

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.799
than that... she's been in a few tv shows here

00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.799
or there for like a couple episodes mayans mc

00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.940
mayans mc like motorcycle club uh she was in

00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:40.200
four episodes of that that's probably two things

00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.179
you may know her from she plays kazia that's

00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:48.299
caitlin stacy and ophir was mahesh jadu or jadu

00:12:48.299 --> 00:12:52.740
again i'm trying not to butcher these names i'm

00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:58.289
trying guys i'm trying Gideon, the right -hand

00:12:58.289 --> 00:13:00.470
man to Leonore that's played by Jai Courtney,

00:13:00.690 --> 00:13:04.190
he wants to kill it. But Leonore wants to keep

00:13:04.190 --> 00:13:08.389
him alive. Leonore is giving a rundown of what

00:13:08.389 --> 00:13:11.090
the Order of the Gargoyles is. Basically, it's

00:13:11.090 --> 00:13:15.490
this organization that was created by the Archangel

00:13:15.490 --> 00:13:18.470
Michael. And it's to protect humans from demons

00:13:18.470 --> 00:13:21.850
and to stop the war. And so this is to protect

00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:25.070
humans from demons, stop the war that may happen.

00:13:25.690 --> 00:13:28.970
and make sure that the demons don't gain control

00:13:28.970 --> 00:13:34.690
of earth um leonore also knows that the monster

00:13:34.690 --> 00:13:37.009
never had a name she wants to call the monster

00:13:37.009 --> 00:13:39.970
adam and believes that he has a higher purpose

00:13:39.970 --> 00:13:44.850
and also knows that he killed frankenstein's

00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:46.830
wife but believes it was out of passion like

00:13:46.830 --> 00:13:48.889
didn't know how to control himself didn't know

00:13:48.889 --> 00:13:52.370
what to do decided he wanted to kill because

00:13:53.419 --> 00:13:55.399
He was just so mad at the world and didn't know

00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.960
what to do. So he kind of is like going along

00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:03.399
with the motions and everything like that. So

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.179
Keziah and Ophir give him the rundown of what

00:14:07.179 --> 00:14:09.759
the gargoyles do. And they tell him that like

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.960
sacramental objects are the only things that

00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.419
can kill demons. And any object can be made sacramental

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:17.899
by marking them with the blessed symbol of the

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:21.220
gargoyles. Adam, of course, asks how to kill

00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:24.720
a gargoyle. and they're just like uh no we're

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.419
not going to tell you that but they give him

00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:30.159
weapons and as he's looking around the room he

00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.759
takes these like crude ones that are like very

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:37.080
heavy and he takes like these blunt ones so they're

00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.340
kind of like okay you don't want to take these

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:41.019
beautiful ones you want to take the blunt crude

00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:43.700
ones that are heavy to wield got it so he takes

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:47.500
these weapons and then he like walks away and

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:51.120
Gideon we also get that he doesn't trust or like

00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:56.080
Adam So Leonore is kind of like, I know you don't

00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.299
trust him, but maybe get to learn his history

00:14:59.299 --> 00:15:03.080
and has this book that was created by Victor

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.159
Frankenstein about his whole process of creating

00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:11.000
Adam. And so she's like, this proves that God

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.639
is not the sole creator of man. Why don't you

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.820
study this? Why don't you learn? And maybe we

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:20.210
can understand Adam better. And after getting

00:15:20.210 --> 00:15:23.610
these weapons, Adam's like, cool, I'm out. I

00:15:23.610 --> 00:15:25.570
don't want to deal with you gargoyles anymore.

00:15:25.669 --> 00:15:31.250
I work alone. So he's done. He's just like, cool,

00:15:31.350 --> 00:15:35.629
I'm going to go. Bye. This all happened in like

00:15:35.629 --> 00:15:42.509
the 1790s. And now it's present day. And so he's

00:15:42.509 --> 00:15:44.929
just kind of been in like hiding for a while,

00:15:45.049 --> 00:15:52.649
like 200 years. And now Nabarius's demons are

00:15:52.649 --> 00:15:57.350
out finding him. But he's no longer hiding anymore.

00:15:57.429 --> 00:15:59.490
Now he wants to draw attention to himself. He's

00:15:59.490 --> 00:16:02.590
been, like, training or whatever. And his scars

00:16:02.590 --> 00:16:04.649
aren't as noticeable. They've kind of healed

00:16:04.649 --> 00:16:06.490
a little more. So, like, he still has them on

00:16:06.490 --> 00:16:11.029
his face. He's still, like, a monster. But he's,

00:16:11.029 --> 00:16:15.690
like, a little more handsome, I guess. I don't

00:16:15.690 --> 00:16:20.320
know. So he now wants to go out and find these

00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.179
demons before they find him because he wants

00:16:22.179 --> 00:16:25.139
to get rid of them and make sure that they don't

00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:28.620
just like fuck up his day. So it's the first

00:16:28.620 --> 00:16:30.980
present day hunt that we get to see and it's

00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:33.399
behind a nightclub and it becomes like this chase

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.460
scene on the rooftops. And what I've said is

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:39.960
basically like he just hits these demons once

00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.460
and they become flame balls and like go back

00:16:43.460 --> 00:16:48.929
to the pit of hell. What they were explaining

00:16:48.929 --> 00:16:55.929
to Adam was that gargoyles descend demons. And

00:16:55.929 --> 00:16:59.889
the demons try to ascend the gargoyles. So the

00:16:59.889 --> 00:17:02.049
gargoyles are trying to descend the demons to

00:17:02.049 --> 00:17:06.609
hell. The demons are trying to ascend the gargoyles

00:17:06.609 --> 00:17:08.789
to heaven. That's what they're trying to do.

00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:11.730
So the demons he's fighting are these lesser

00:17:11.730 --> 00:17:15.769
demons. So that's why they're... basically one

00:17:15.769 --> 00:17:19.410
hit and they're dead the one he's chasing is

00:17:19.410 --> 00:17:25.029
a bigger deal and so he runs off and gets to

00:17:25.029 --> 00:17:27.450
this fancy mansion and it's just like surrounded

00:17:27.450 --> 00:17:31.009
by people and this turns out to be demons it's

00:17:31.009 --> 00:17:32.650
they're all demons and everything like that but

00:17:32.650 --> 00:17:36.289
it's this fancy mansion and then when adam sees

00:17:36.289 --> 00:17:39.230
the mansion he turns around and he's grabbed

00:17:39.230 --> 00:17:42.289
by a flying creature and we don't see what this

00:17:42.289 --> 00:17:43.809
flying creature is we just know it's a flying

00:17:43.809 --> 00:17:49.599
creature So now it goes to a lab. And in this

00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:53.619
lab is Dr. Wade. And Dr. Wade is Yvonne Strahovski.

00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:59.259
And she is doing a demonstration for Mr. Wessex.

00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:02.460
We don't see Mr. Wessex. You hear the voice.

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.460
It's obviously Bill Nighy. I don't know who they're

00:18:06.460 --> 00:18:08.859
trying to fake out here. It's obviously him.

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:12.440
But especially if you know he's in this movie.

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:16.440
It was easy enough, I think, even if you didn't

00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:20.740
know he was in this movie. It's very easy to

00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:24.980
know his voice. But basically, she's doing this

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:28.200
experiment. She also is working with a partner

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:33.359
named Carl. Carl's not that big a deal. She just

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.859
has this partner named Carl. He comes back later

00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:38.619
in the story. That's why you need to know about

00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:42.880
Carl. So Dr. Wade, her name's also Tara, just

00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.150
in case I... Confuse those two, Dr. Wade Tara.

00:18:45.289 --> 00:18:47.589
I think I called her Dr. Wade pretty much throughout,

00:18:47.769 --> 00:18:52.650
but Dr. Wade Tara. This experiment is a reanimation

00:18:52.650 --> 00:18:55.170
experiment. It's to bring something back to life.

00:18:56.369 --> 00:19:00.930
The experiment at first fails. And like they,

00:19:00.970 --> 00:19:03.670
even though like this, they're doing it on a

00:19:03.670 --> 00:19:06.130
rat. And even though this rat is dead, she kept

00:19:06.130 --> 00:19:09.210
like, bring the electricity up, bring the electricity

00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:11.390
up, bring the electricity up. And finally, like

00:19:11.390 --> 00:19:15.490
it short circuits. And they're like, well, it

00:19:15.490 --> 00:19:18.269
didn't work. And then after a couple seconds,

00:19:18.690 --> 00:19:22.109
it worked. The rat starts moving. It got brought

00:19:22.109 --> 00:19:27.650
back to life. So it kind of worked. They're so

00:19:27.650 --> 00:19:30.490
happy because they finally had a breakthrough.

00:19:30.849 --> 00:19:33.730
They have reanimated something from the dead.

00:19:34.069 --> 00:19:37.269
So this is good. This is what Mr. Wessex wants.

00:19:37.490 --> 00:19:40.069
This is what Dr. Wade has been trying to do.

00:19:40.650 --> 00:19:43.819
Great. Then Mr. Wessex gets told they have a

00:19:43.819 --> 00:19:48.019
situation, and so he walks off to his office.

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:52.259
The situation is the demon telling him that he

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:55.440
got attacked by a possible gargoyle. And Mr.

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:59.319
Wessex is pissed because this demon didn't try

00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.000
to capture it. Because he knows it wasn't a gargoyle,

00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:06.799
it was Adam. And he knows it was the creature

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.000
he's been trying to get his hands on for over

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.740
200 years. And so the demon's like, I'm so sorry,

00:20:13.859 --> 00:20:18.220
Prince Nabarius. Duh. Shocker, Mr. Wessex is

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:21.980
Prince Nabarius. And we also see that it's Bill

00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:27.720
Nighy. Both of a reveal at the same time. Then

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:31.000
we get flown to a cathedral where the winged

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.140
creature brings Adam and he is immediately shackled

00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:38.039
up by the gargoyles. That's all we see in that

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:40.599
moment. Basically, Adam's just shackled by the

00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.900
gargoyles. Now Wessex is back talking with Dr.

00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.720
Wade and they're talking about Frankenstein and

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.480
Victor Frankenstein. And basically, wouldn't

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.039
it be nice if they could prove like if they could

00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.200
see his experiment, see his monster up close

00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:06.059
so that Dr. Wade could study the monster and

00:21:06.059 --> 00:21:09.920
learn how he was reanimated. And learn about

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.059
all the process and everything like that. And

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:14.740
Dr. Wade's just like, but Victor Frankenstein

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:16.539
was an old wives tale. It doesn't really exist

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:20.400
and everything like that. And Mr. Wessex is like,

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.339
no, I can provide you the creature. And if I

00:21:23.339 --> 00:21:25.519
could do that, would you like to study it? And

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.500
Dr. Wade's just like, yes, of course. If you

00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:31.559
can do it, sure. So Mr. Wessex wants to capture

00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:35.019
Adam to give to Dr. Wade to study, pretty much.

00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.220
So now we go back to the cathedral. The gargoyles

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:41.279
are pissed because Adam is now fighting in the

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.140
open versus in the shadows. And why they're pissed

00:21:45.140 --> 00:21:49.839
about that is because if the humans see, that

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:54.059
would be bad. This is a war they've been fighting

00:21:54.059 --> 00:21:56.900
in the shadows. The humans aren't supposed to

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:58.660
know about the demons, and they're especially

00:21:58.660 --> 00:22:01.160
not supposed to know about the gargoyles. So

00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:08.059
the gargoyles are pissed. And Leonor even says

00:22:08.059 --> 00:22:10.700
she wanted to destroy Adam at first, but she

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:14.720
saw the potential in his eyes that a soul could

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.599
be there. Like he could eventually get a soul

00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:23.019
there. And so she decided to spare him. And he

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:25.640
kind of admits at this point that he doesn't

00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:27.779
feel like he belongs in any of the worlds. Like

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:29.579
he doesn't belong in the human world. He doesn't

00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:31.259
belong in the gargoyle world. He doesn't belong

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:33.839
in the demon world. And so that's why he goes

00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:41.210
alone and does his own thing. and so that's kind

00:22:41.210 --> 00:22:44.309
of like the whole reason why he's on this like

00:22:44.309 --> 00:22:50.349
vigilante mission now we go back to the mansion

00:22:50.349 --> 00:22:57.289
and we go to this guy zuriel zuriel is essentially

00:22:57.289 --> 00:23:01.569
nabirius's right -hand man and zuriel is explaining

00:23:01.569 --> 00:23:06.859
that he knows that adam got picked up by one

00:23:06.859 --> 00:23:10.240
of the gargoyles and now knows that adam is in

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:13.119
the cathedral and so they're going to lead a

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:18.039
full -on charge of the cathedral and nabirius

00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:19.640
is kind of like we're going to lose a lot of

00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.059
demons and he goes i know but if we get this

00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:25.859
monster we can reanimate them and bring them

00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:30.700
all back and so nabirius is kind of like good

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:35.589
point so zuriel leads a full -on charge Into

00:23:35.589 --> 00:23:44.450
the cathedral. So here is where. I get to my

00:23:44.450 --> 00:23:48.170
first. Problem with this movie. And it's a problem

00:23:48.170 --> 00:23:54.250
that happens. A lot during this movie. So like

00:23:54.250 --> 00:23:58.710
they lead into this battle. And like the gargoyles

00:23:58.710 --> 00:24:02.480
change. Into their gargoyle self. And they go

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.819
into like this fight. So like the demons go and

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:07.400
like actually storm the cathedral and they show

00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:09.440
like the beginning of this fight where the gargoyles

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:11.740
become gargoyles and then they go to fight them.

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:18.200
And then they kind of like pan off or they like

00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.819
have a camera that's like not necessarily looking

00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:26.799
at the battle. It'll be like looking over the

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.900
top of it. So you don't see the battle, but you'll

00:24:29.900 --> 00:24:33.880
see like, So if the battle's happening in between

00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.720
two buildings, you'll be looking on top of the

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.799
building, like on top of the buildings, and you'll

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.779
just see the flame balls kind of exploding. Like

00:24:45.779 --> 00:24:47.859
you'll just see the light from it in between

00:24:47.859 --> 00:24:51.420
the two buildings. And it's totally like a trick

00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:56.819
to save money. And it drives me insane. Because

00:24:56.819 --> 00:25:01.299
it is very noticeable. It's not one of those

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:06.940
like. I understand trying to save money sometimes.

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:09.579
I understand that in certain movies and stuff

00:25:09.579 --> 00:25:12.940
like that. But like this is very apparent. Like

00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:14.839
where they show you the beginning of the fight.

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.680
And then they don't actually show you the fight.

00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:21.680
And so like there's moments of it. You do see

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:25.039
some of the moments of the fight. But for a lot

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:28.920
of this fight you don't see a lot of it. A lot

00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:32.079
of it's focused on like the smaller parts of

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:38.200
it, like Ophir and Keziah are protecting Adam

00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:43.759
because they're both in like the top of the tower

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:46.319
in the cathedral making sure that nobody gets

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:50.119
to Adam. And so it's just like Adam trying to

00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.869
convince Ophir. Like Ophir, you know, if you

00:25:52.869 --> 00:25:54.890
give me a weapon, if you free me, I can fight

00:25:54.890 --> 00:25:57.349
these things. I can help you. I can, I can win

00:25:57.349 --> 00:26:00.130
this for us and everything like that while the

00:26:00.130 --> 00:26:03.369
fight's going on. Or it's focused on Gideon and

00:26:03.369 --> 00:26:07.809
his like two buddies talking about the fact that

00:26:07.809 --> 00:26:11.369
they need to protect Leonor no matter what happens,

00:26:11.529 --> 00:26:18.230
you know? So there's a lot of those moments while

00:26:18.230 --> 00:26:23.039
a fight's going on. and even when this thing

00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:27.700
finishes they mention at the end that they lost

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:33.339
16 gargoyles 16 like it's not a huge number but

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:35.380
they don't have a lot of gargoyles don't get

00:26:35.380 --> 00:26:38.839
me wrong but it's like you just lost 16 of them

00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:41.599
it's it's not like it was a huge fight or anything

00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:43.640
like that and they just don't show us half of

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.460
them and it's one of those things that just absolutely

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:50.319
drives me nuts about this movie because it happens

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:52.799
multiple times where they kind of go off the

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.859
main fight to not show you anything whether it's

00:26:56.859 --> 00:27:00.680
money or it's just they think it's not important

00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.099
that you see it because there's one time where

00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:05.180
i would say they don't think it's important maybe

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:10.319
but especially this time it was very apparent

00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.500
like they wanted to show you oh we'll show you

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:15.619
these like fireballs flickering off the buildings

00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:18.509
but not actually show you the fight Well, like

00:27:18.509 --> 00:27:22.349
I said, Ophir and Keziah are defending Adam.

00:27:22.529 --> 00:27:26.829
And then Ophir, of course, swings a weapon towards

00:27:26.829 --> 00:27:29.789
Adam. But it's to free him from his binds. And

00:27:29.789 --> 00:27:33.450
then he gives a weapon to Adam. And Adam's just

00:27:33.450 --> 00:27:37.190
able to, like, hand -on -hand combat. Like, one

00:27:37.190 --> 00:27:40.930
of the safest, easiest fights to show that's

00:27:40.930 --> 00:27:44.779
cheap. And hit the demons one time and turn them

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:47.240
into fireballs. And all of them are descended.

00:27:47.380 --> 00:27:50.359
He gets rid of a majority of the demons that

00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:54.940
are in the cathedral. But both Ophir and Keziah

00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:59.480
ascend in the fight. And Keziah is dying and

00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:01.859
Adam is trying to save her. And she's like, no,

00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:05.339
let me be together. This was forbidden by the

00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:07.819
order. Let me be together with Ophir. We need

00:28:07.819 --> 00:28:10.880
to be together on the other side. So Keziah and

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:16.180
Ophir both ascend in the fight. Gideon and the

00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:19.920
two others fly off to take out the millions of

00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:23.940
demons left, but they left Leonor unprotected.

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:28.460
So Zuriel was able to like ambush around and

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:34.920
get Leonor. And one of the demons that was left

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.160
there is able to tell Adam that she was like

00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:39.750
brought to the Walton Theater. and that he must

00:28:39.750 --> 00:28:44.670
exchange himself for her. And then Gideon and

00:28:44.670 --> 00:28:48.809
the two other gargoyle bros, because that's what

00:28:48.809 --> 00:28:50.910
they really are, they're gargoyle bros, they

00:28:50.910 --> 00:28:54.349
get to another spot, and another demon is kind

00:28:54.349 --> 00:28:56.210
of waiting for them, and is just like, I have

00:28:56.210 --> 00:28:59.210
a message for you. Leonore's at the Walton Theater.

00:28:59.329 --> 00:29:04.410
You guys are idiots for leaving her unattended.

00:29:04.990 --> 00:29:09.029
So Gideon's pissed. He flies back to the cathedral

00:29:09.029 --> 00:29:12.509
and he's kind of like in charge without Leonore.

00:29:12.829 --> 00:29:15.289
So he decides that he's going to go to the vault.

00:29:15.890 --> 00:29:18.089
The other two gargoyles are like, this is forbidden.

00:29:18.190 --> 00:29:22.069
Don't do it. And inside the vault is Frankenstein's

00:29:22.069 --> 00:29:26.849
journal, which Gideon grabs. Gideon flies over

00:29:26.849 --> 00:29:30.869
to the Walton theater. And this is one of the

00:29:30.869 --> 00:29:33.349
things I will give this movie. This movie has

00:29:33.349 --> 00:29:36.769
had a lot of bad so far, like a lot of bad. this

00:29:36.769 --> 00:29:39.869
was one that was really cool so gideon flies

00:29:39.869 --> 00:29:44.430
as a gargoyle through the theater roof lands

00:29:44.430 --> 00:29:48.069
like swoops his wings and he is jai courtney

00:29:48.069 --> 00:29:51.309
like human version and it actually was a pretty

00:29:51.309 --> 00:29:53.130
good transition i actually thought that was a

00:29:53.130 --> 00:29:55.410
pretty cool one that was one where i was like

00:29:55.410 --> 00:30:00.630
okay this was this was well planned this is this

00:30:00.630 --> 00:30:02.089
is one of those things where you like see it

00:30:02.089 --> 00:30:04.950
on the storyboard and you're like that went exactly

00:30:04.950 --> 00:30:07.230
how they wanted it to go like you saw the whole

00:30:07.230 --> 00:30:10.509
transition everything that was cool so that one

00:30:10.509 --> 00:30:14.589
was pretty sick so gideon arrives like heroically

00:30:14.589 --> 00:30:17.849
you see adam is like hiding in the theater and

00:30:17.849 --> 00:30:21.630
gideon says he brought the journal in exchange

00:30:21.630 --> 00:30:31.240
for leonore You see some like demons surrounding

00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:35.319
Gideon and Zerial tightens his grip around Leonore's

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.420
throat. Adam's also listening in and this is

00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:41.359
where he first discovers that this journal exists.

00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:46.359
He never knew this journal exists. So Gideon's

00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:49.039
like, I will give you the journal. Leave Leonore

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:53.859
alone. Zerial's like, deal. Throws her to the

00:30:53.859 --> 00:30:56.359
side. Gideon catches her, leaves the journal

00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:03.920
and like Gideon. Flies off of Leonore. And. Zuriel.

00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.680
Grabs the book. Runs off. Adam starts fighting

00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:09.980
the demons. That are in the theater. And starts

00:31:09.980 --> 00:31:14.240
descending these demons. Zuriel's obviously got

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.400
a head start. But Adam's able to follow him.

00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:21.579
And is able to. See Zuriel. Go to the secret

00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:28.420
lair. Sees how he gets into. The mansion. And

00:31:28.420 --> 00:31:30.700
then Adam's able to like descend one of the demons

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:35.319
quickly, get into the secret lair, follow down

00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:40.480
to the secret part of it. And he's also able

00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:43.119
to see the handoff of the journal to Nibirius.

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:49.589
So he knows Nibirius is. Mr. Wessex. He knows.

00:31:49.650 --> 00:31:51.730
It's pretty obvious. It's not like it's going

00:31:51.730 --> 00:31:53.130
to be a secret later. There's not going to be

00:31:53.130 --> 00:31:57.789
some big reveal like, oh no, Mr. Wessex was Nibirius

00:31:57.789 --> 00:32:04.650
the whole time. He knows who it is. He lets them

00:32:04.650 --> 00:32:09.029
kind of do their thing. He follows Nibirius to

00:32:09.029 --> 00:32:12.250
an elevator. Nibirius gets in the elevator. He's

00:32:12.250 --> 00:32:15.690
like, okay, I need to see where he's going. But

00:32:15.690 --> 00:32:20.309
then he sees that there's this curtain and he

00:32:20.309 --> 00:32:23.490
walks to the curtain and it's just this massive

00:32:23.490 --> 00:32:31.390
like area of pods and bodies in these pods and

00:32:31.390 --> 00:32:35.329
like all these bodies are dead and just like

00:32:35.329 --> 00:32:39.029
waiting and so he's trying to figure out like

00:32:39.029 --> 00:32:41.470
what's going on here it's just these massive

00:32:41.470 --> 00:32:48.359
pods and bodies And now Mr. Wessex, Nibirius

00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:51.759
brings the journal to Dr. Wade back to the cathedral.

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:57.680
Leonore is like having a full meltdown because

00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.019
now Adam knows about the journal and she, she

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:03.119
regrets not showing Adam the journal because

00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.519
now she knows he's going to figure it out about

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:07.859
it. He's going to read it. He's going to see

00:33:07.859 --> 00:33:09.740
all this stuff and he's never going to trust

00:33:09.740 --> 00:33:11.980
the gargoyles again. And Gideon is just like,

00:33:12.059 --> 00:33:15.119
we lost 16 gargoyles. Get ahold of yourself,

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:20.319
woman. dr wade is reading the journal and she's

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.539
learning through it while she's talking to carl

00:33:22.539 --> 00:33:26.099
that electric eels is what brought the monster

00:33:26.099 --> 00:33:30.700
to life and they're like wow if that's what brought

00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:32.819
it to life i wonder what it would take to kill

00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:38.220
it and this is when adam kind of like walks through

00:33:38.220 --> 00:33:41.279
and sees that they're holding the journal and

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:43.960
like adam's been sneaking through this facility

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.200
the whole time and he could easily get into the

00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:50.859
doctor's lab like by sneaking through but instead

00:33:50.859 --> 00:33:53.359
he sees the journal he sees the doctor holding

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:55.880
it and just decides screw it breaking the glass

00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:58.759
he sets off an alarm and immediately a bunch

00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:02.500
of security come in but wessex comes in too and

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:04.519
he's like you know you could have just knocked

00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:07.599
and like he's playing nice and he wants to convince

00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:14.739
adam to stay and so they're like talking about

00:34:14.739 --> 00:34:18.400
it and he's like Mr. Wessex is like, like I said,

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.900
playing nice. He's trying to convince him to

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:22.619
stay. He wants him to be a part of this. He's

00:34:22.619 --> 00:34:25.460
not giving anything away. Like he's not saying

00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:27.960
you're trapped here. He's like actually trying

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:31.699
to be like, look, you can sit with Dr. Wade.

00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:34.460
She may do some tests, but it's just kind of

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:36.880
like to see how you work and operate and that

00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:39.320
kind of stuff. Like I'm not trying to do anything

00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:41.820
like this or that or anything like that. You

00:34:41.820 --> 00:34:45.059
know, so it's not trying to be. weird or creepy

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:48.099
or anything like that so then mr wessex kind

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:51.940
of reaches out a hand and adam grabs it and then

00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:54.480
it reveals wessex's demon eyes like his demon

00:34:54.480 --> 00:35:00.340
eyes come out so adam's like nope so adam grabs

00:35:00.340 --> 00:35:03.840
the journal jumps from the window and crashes

00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.260
straight through the earth and hits the subway

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:10.199
so he ends up on the subway and he starts reading

00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:14.329
the journal while he's on the subway Zuriel and

00:35:14.329 --> 00:35:18.570
Dr. Wessex are outside the lab. And they're talking

00:35:18.570 --> 00:35:23.449
about what to do next. But Zuriel is confident

00:35:23.449 --> 00:35:29.650
that Adam is going to come back. And Mr. Wessex

00:35:29.650 --> 00:35:31.530
is just like, how are you so certain? How are

00:35:31.530 --> 00:35:33.670
you so certain? And this is when Dr. Wade walks

00:35:33.670 --> 00:35:38.449
out of the lab. And Zuriel is just like, Dr.

00:35:38.650 --> 00:35:40.750
Wade, there's nothing for you here now. You should

00:35:40.750 --> 00:35:45.340
go home. You should take a rest. And Dr. Wade's

00:35:45.340 --> 00:35:47.320
just like, no, no, we got to do all this work,

00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:49.039
all this and everything like that. We got to

00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.780
do all this work. And Mr. West kind of sees what

00:35:51.780 --> 00:35:54.440
he's getting at and goes, no, you got to go home.

00:35:54.460 --> 00:35:58.760
You got to take a rest. And when she leaves,

00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:02.500
Zeriel goes, Adam's going to come for her because

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:04.460
he can't make sense of everything in the journal.

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:08.059
So now we know we've set up the trap. We're going

00:36:08.059 --> 00:36:14.739
to watch her. And so Dr. Wade is walking home,

00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:18.820
but she can sense that someone is onto her. Someone's

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:24.480
watching. Who that is, what's happening, is going

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.659
to have to wait for after a quick break. Because

00:36:28.659 --> 00:36:34.800
we did have a contest for who got our bad movie.

00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.679

00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.699
atmospheric shadows, and the evolution of fear

on film? Then you've just found your next obsession.

00:37:40.619 --> 00:37:42.699

horror, modern nightmares, and everything in

between. From the fog -soaked moors of universal

00:37:54.019 --> 00:37:56.960
horrors to the neon -drenched nightmares of today's

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:59.780
indie darlings, I explore how horror has evolved

00:37:59.780 --> 00:38:03.059

look away. Each episode features thoughtful reviews,

00:38:05.590 --> 00:38:08.090

Thanks, David, for playing along. If you want

your promo or a shout -out in our next Bad Movie

00:38:32.059 --> 00:38:35.019
episode, make sure you are playing along at our

00:38:35.019 --> 00:38:38.519
Twitter, at GameForAMovie. I post three hints

00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:41.300
that have nothing to do with the actual movie

00:38:41.300 --> 00:38:44.519
except for maybe it's a plot point or it's a

00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.539
character or an actor in it, that kind of stuff.

00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:50.019
And if you are the first podcast to get it correct,

00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.780
we will play your promo or give you a shout -out

00:38:52.780 --> 00:38:55.280
in the episode. Obviously, this time is Journey

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.300
with the Cinephile. Next time, it could be you.

00:38:57.420 --> 00:38:59.829
Make sure you're playing along. And you can be

00:38:59.829 --> 00:39:02.570
featured in episodes such as I Frankenstein,

00:39:02.690 --> 00:39:07.949
which we are back with right now. So Dr. Wade

00:39:07.949 --> 00:39:09.949
feels like she is being followed. So she slips

00:39:09.949 --> 00:39:13.110
into a dark alley and she finds out that Adam

00:39:13.110 --> 00:39:17.829
has been following her. And he explains that

00:39:17.829 --> 00:39:21.469
he went to her because there is a war between

00:39:21.469 --> 00:39:24.150
gargoyles and demons and that her boss has been

00:39:24.150 --> 00:39:27.710
hunting him for over 200 years. Definitely not

00:39:27.710 --> 00:39:30.340
crazy like that. That makes complete sense, right?

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:33.739
Like you'd be following her too. Yeah, that makes

00:39:33.739 --> 00:39:38.119
complete sense. So she, of course, is just like,

00:39:38.260 --> 00:39:46.699
yeah, sure, whatever. No, thank you. But he then

00:39:46.699 --> 00:39:49.420
sees that Zuriel is also following them. So he

00:39:49.420 --> 00:39:53.880
kicks a door open barely away from them. So Zuriel

00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:56.179
hears it and knows exactly where to follow them.

00:39:56.969 --> 00:39:59.769
He also explains that there are corpses and that

00:39:59.769 --> 00:40:02.969
Wessex is going to make these human corpses demons.

00:40:03.110 --> 00:40:06.269
Like he's going to put demon souls inside these

00:40:06.269 --> 00:40:09.670
humans. This is the only right reaction. She

00:40:09.670 --> 00:40:13.710
goes, look, I'm guessing that reanimation process

00:40:13.710 --> 00:40:16.829
probably gave you brain damage, but I don't believe

00:40:16.829 --> 00:40:20.329
in these gargoyles and demons or whatever. As

00:40:20.329 --> 00:40:24.030
if on cue, Zeriel runs in and yells, Frankenstein!

00:40:24.619 --> 00:40:27.159
And then changes into his demon form immediately,

00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:30.699
which looks more like an alien than a demon,

00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:34.500
but it's fine, whatever. So now we fight in an

00:40:34.500 --> 00:40:38.039
abandoned warehouse. Gotta save on that set dressing.

00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:39.980
Like, we just go into an abandoned warehouse

00:40:39.980 --> 00:40:44.840
and we're gonna fight. I said it was good that

00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:47.900
Zeriel isn't dying with one hit, but they also

00:40:47.900 --> 00:40:50.840
just established that, like, it's going to take

00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:55.980
a lot to kill Adam. So as they're fighting, I

00:40:55.980 --> 00:40:58.559
don't really feel worried for Adam because they

00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:01.280
just addressed it in the movie's logic. It's

00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:05.099
going to take a lot to kill him. Zoriel does

00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:08.099
get the upper hand, and he takes the journal.

00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:15.000
And so he's standing over Adam, and he has the

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.860
journal, and he is about to deal the killing

00:41:18.860 --> 00:41:23.280
blow. Again, I don't feel anything because, I

00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:25.690
don't know. Maybe because movie, maybe because

00:41:25.690 --> 00:41:29.769
just they just established that he probably is

00:41:29.769 --> 00:41:32.610
not going to die. He goes, now that I have the

00:41:32.610 --> 00:41:36.170
journal, I don't need you alive. But Dr. Wade

00:41:36.170 --> 00:41:40.429
pops out of nowhere because Adam told her to

00:41:40.429 --> 00:41:44.269
run. She didn't run, but she pops out of nowhere

00:41:44.269 --> 00:41:47.050
and she goes, I need you to keep it alive. I

00:41:47.050 --> 00:41:50.289
need to study how its body functions. And this

00:41:50.289 --> 00:41:53.329
gave. Adam just enough time to slip out like

00:41:53.329 --> 00:41:57.650
this tiny dagger that he had up his sleeve and

00:41:57.650 --> 00:42:03.869
he stabs Uriel killing him so Uriel's dead uh

00:42:03.869 --> 00:42:09.730
Dr. Wade was able to help Adam and they go to

00:42:09.730 --> 00:42:12.489
this like tiny bad apartment that happens to

00:42:12.489 --> 00:42:14.610
have a sewing needle in it or sutures or whatever

00:42:14.610 --> 00:42:18.909
and she stitches him up so able to help the cut

00:42:18.909 --> 00:42:22.349
on his back and you know just another stitch

00:42:22.349 --> 00:42:26.469
for our frankenstein monster so he has the journal

00:42:26.469 --> 00:42:34.150
he's good kind of um she understands now that

00:42:34.150 --> 00:42:37.090
there are demons in the world and it's not just

00:42:37.090 --> 00:42:42.110
like he's making it up he has brain damage so

00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:47.800
We're good. Our heroes actually believe each

00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:51.860
other. They're kind of working together. Cool.

00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:55.960
Adam explains the need to get to the gargoyles

00:42:55.960 --> 00:42:59.219
so the demons can't win. And she says, what about

00:42:59.219 --> 00:43:03.119
you? And he throws a little pity party because

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:05.860
he's different. And he's like, I'm a monster.

00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:11.039
I don't really fit in this world. And she gives

00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:13.199
the line, you're only a monster if you behave

00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:17.570
like one. which changes his whole output on life

00:43:17.570 --> 00:43:19.550
he's like i've never thought about that pretty

00:43:19.550 --> 00:43:26.670
much and so he tries to like thank her kind of

00:43:26.670 --> 00:43:30.070
in a weird way and then she kind of like walks

00:43:30.070 --> 00:43:32.750
away awkwardly to like wash off the sewing needle

00:43:32.750 --> 00:43:35.610
or sutures or whatever it was and then she kind

00:43:35.610 --> 00:43:39.010
of like tries to like say something but before

00:43:39.010 --> 00:43:42.969
she can he falls asleep so you know it's one

00:43:42.969 --> 00:43:46.559
of those like a will they won't they but be kind

00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:50.420
of one of those like ah this is we missed our

00:43:50.420 --> 00:43:54.639
shot we missed our awkward moment so maybe next

00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:58.320
time well while he's sleeping she decides that

00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:00.760
she's going to read the journal and everything

00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:05.460
in it so we don't get everything about the journal

00:44:05.460 --> 00:44:11.000
we do get bits and pieces the two things that

00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:16.420
we get From Dr. Wade reading the journal. These

00:44:16.420 --> 00:44:20.519
are the two important bits, I guess, were that.

00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:26.239
He killed Frankenstein's wife, which she's kind

00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:31.000
of like about. She doesn't really trust him,

00:44:31.019 --> 00:44:33.699
thinks maybe he is a monster. And the second

00:44:33.699 --> 00:44:37.719
thing was that part of the reason he was pissed

00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:42.449
was because. Frankenstein was supposed to create

00:44:42.449 --> 00:44:46.269
a partner for him. And so she's kind of like,

00:44:46.429 --> 00:44:50.469
do you think I'm just going to make you a partner?

00:44:52.809 --> 00:44:57.250
Which he says no, kind of, but not convincingly.

00:44:57.269 --> 00:44:59.349
It's not like a convincing, no, I don't think

00:44:59.349 --> 00:45:02.210
you're going to just create me a partner. It's

00:45:02.210 --> 00:45:04.449
not a convincing answer, if you want to know

00:45:04.449 --> 00:45:08.210
the truth. But that never gets brought up again,

00:45:08.269 --> 00:45:12.219
so I don't know. Well, so she's on edge. He's

00:45:12.219 --> 00:45:14.699
like, we need to get to the gargoyles. She's

00:45:14.699 --> 00:45:17.719
like, I will meet you, but I need to get Carl

00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:23.940
out of Wessex's mansion. And he's like, who the

00:45:23.940 --> 00:45:26.800
fuck is Carl? Because all of us forgot about

00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:29.400
Carl. And he's right, too, because nobody remembered

00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:34.000
Carl. But he also goes, OK, fine, you can save

00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:40.670
Carl. So Dr. Wade, Carl's Carl. and tells him

00:45:40.670 --> 00:45:44.250
to meet her at the train station and he's kind

00:45:44.250 --> 00:45:46.909
of like what why why am i meeting you at the

00:45:46.909 --> 00:45:49.449
train station we have so much work to do we have

00:45:49.449 --> 00:45:52.050
like don't we have the journal don't we have

00:45:52.050 --> 00:45:54.130
like the monster aren't they getting us the monster

00:45:54.130 --> 00:45:56.829
like that kind of stuff and she's like i can't

00:45:56.829 --> 00:45:59.530
explain just meet me at the train station he's

00:45:59.530 --> 00:46:02.969
like okay fine i'll be right there hangs up turns

know that carl Is now going to meet Dr. Witt.

00:46:12.289 --> 00:46:16.050
So. Adam's like. I am going to talk to Leonore.

00:46:16.489 --> 00:46:19.829
About the journal. And the fact that Niberius.

00:46:19.909 --> 00:46:22.650
Can reanimate corpses. And possess them with

00:46:22.650 --> 00:46:27.510
demons. Because. All I want them to do. Is I

00:46:27.510 --> 00:46:32.289
want them to handle this issue. And then. I'm

00:46:32.289 --> 00:46:35.090
going to get us out of here. So you go get Carl.

00:46:35.489 --> 00:46:39.199
I'm going to get us a way out of here. And then

00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:42.219
we'll meet up and we'll get out of here. So that's

00:46:42.219 --> 00:46:44.659
the plan. Dr. Wade's going to meet Carl at the

00:46:44.659 --> 00:46:46.860
train station and Adam's going to go find them

00:46:46.860 --> 00:46:50.900
a way out. Adam gives his tiny little dagger

00:46:50.900 --> 00:46:57.059
blade to Dr. Wade as protection. And then goes

00:46:57.059 --> 00:47:00.840
to the gargoyles. When Dr. Wade gets to the train

00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:04.400
station, Carl, they're like separated by like

00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:07.179
this, like. rain wall kind of thing like it's

00:47:07.179 --> 00:47:10.139
a water feature kind of thing and carl's on the

00:47:10.139 --> 00:47:14.519
other side and he like is going i'm sorry they

00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:17.699
caught me and basically like the demons show

00:47:17.699 --> 00:47:22.519
up around uh dr wade she drops the tiny dagger

00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:25.000
blade on the ground but now they have the journal

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:29.760
that she had and they have dr wade so they have

00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:35.460
the journal they have wade they have carl Adam

00:47:35.460 --> 00:47:39.340
goes to Leonore and the rest of the gargoyles.

00:47:39.619 --> 00:47:42.840
And he's kind of like, they can reanimate corpses.

00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.679
They can possess them with demons if they get

00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.179
the journal or me. And why didn't you tell me

00:47:50.179 --> 00:47:53.699
about this journal? And she goes, I was protecting

00:47:53.699 --> 00:47:56.820
you. I didn't think it was important that you

00:47:56.820 --> 00:47:58.980
read that because there was nothing good that

00:47:58.980 --> 00:48:01.420
came out of it. and he's like it was just my

00:48:01.420 --> 00:48:03.559
whole life you know blah blah blah whatever it's

00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:06.920
fine he's willing to forgive it because he now

00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.019
has a human that he cares about and he's protecting

00:48:09.019 --> 00:48:13.420
i need you to get me dr wade and carl out of

00:48:13.420 --> 00:48:15.800
here and then we'll never be a problem again

00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:18.400
you guys can go about your war and we will never

00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:23.500
be a problem to you again and she's like fine

00:48:23.500 --> 00:48:26.800
get here and we will get you out of there as

00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:31.179
he leaves Leonore says to Gideon, because Gideon's

00:48:31.179 --> 00:48:33.380
like, you let your emotions get the best of you.

00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:36.780
You let him push you around. You put us on the

00:48:36.780 --> 00:48:38.420
line, everything like that. And Leonore goes,

00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:41.739
no. Once they find the journal and Gideon gets

00:48:41.739 --> 00:48:45.840
it, you need to kill Adam. Oh, I'm wrong. So

00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:49.099
I was wrong. Sorry. The journal was left at the

00:48:49.099 --> 00:48:53.239
apartment. Sorry. That's wrong. So Wade is the

00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:55.679
only one. Wade and Carl are collected at the

00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:57.719
train station, not the journal. So Adam goes

00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:00.340
back to the apartment, recollects the journal

00:49:00.340 --> 00:49:05.079
from the crappy apartment. And then he kind of

00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:07.940
like get here. Something is kind of like on edge

00:49:07.940 --> 00:49:13.119
and then gets tacked by Gargoyle Gideon. So he

00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:19.400
grabs like a fire axe from the wall and it's

00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:23.489
on. And basically Gideon is just kind of like

00:49:23.489 --> 00:49:25.969
flying up outside of the building and then like

00:49:25.969 --> 00:49:27.989
choosing his moments and kind of like swooping

00:49:27.989 --> 00:49:30.650
in and attacking. Swooping in, swooping in, swooping

00:49:30.650 --> 00:49:34.530
in. And they basically destroy like an entire

00:49:34.530 --> 00:49:38.170
building as Gideon goes full gargoyle like attacking

00:49:38.170 --> 00:49:41.869
from above. He plows through the walls and gets

00:49:41.869 --> 00:49:46.110
him. And then he plows him like straight through

00:49:46.110 --> 00:49:51.300
this hallway. Like straight through. They go

00:49:51.300 --> 00:49:55.840
and they fall like straight down. And they're

00:49:55.840 --> 00:50:01.800
falling towards a car. And Gideon's axe is facing

00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:08.880
towards Adam. But Adam is able to, while they're

00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:13.739
in the air, turn it towards Gideon. And at first

00:50:13.739 --> 00:50:15.519
we don't see anything. And then all of a sudden

00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:18.239
we see the light of like a gargoyle ascending.

00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:21.860
So we know that Gideon got jabbed by the axe.

00:50:23.219 --> 00:50:26.579
And Gideon like looks at him and goes, God will

00:50:26.579 --> 00:50:30.119
surely damn you. And Adam goes, he already has.

00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:35.019
So Gideon's dead. His sash falls because his

00:50:35.019 --> 00:50:39.920
body like ascends. His sash falls. Adam runs

00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:43.519
away. The remaining gargoyles see Gideon's sash

00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:46.989
and they bring it to Leonore. and they go to

00:50:46.989 --> 00:50:49.449
the cathedral, and, like, they're all standing

00:50:49.449 --> 00:50:52.309
around Leonor with the sash, like, what do we

00:50:52.309 --> 00:50:54.909
do now? Gideon, our strongest soldier, is dead.

00:50:55.869 --> 00:50:58.690
And, like, Leonor gave the order. Like, they

00:50:58.690 --> 00:51:03.210
all know this was Gideon. Like, you told him

00:51:03.210 --> 00:51:05.210
to kill Adam. We know it was Adam that did it.

00:51:05.750 --> 00:51:08.190
Adam gets to the train station. He finds, like,

00:51:08.190 --> 00:51:10.170
his small little dagger on the ground, and he

00:51:10.170 --> 00:51:12.190
knows that Dr. Wade has been captured. Like,

00:51:12.250 --> 00:51:16.250
this is the sign. dr wade and carl are with wessex

00:51:16.250 --> 00:51:20.329
and at first they're not going to help him so

00:51:20.329 --> 00:51:24.269
wessex just straight out chokes out carl like

00:51:24.269 --> 00:51:35.469
just straight up carl gone and this okay like

00:51:35.469 --> 00:51:40.849
i've said this movie has a lot of bad a lot but

00:51:40.849 --> 00:51:46.969
this was fucking badass He chokes out Carl, kills

00:51:46.969 --> 00:51:50.570
him. He looks at Dr. Wade and goes, you want

00:51:50.570 --> 00:51:57.690
him back? Show me how. Like the first guinea

00:51:57.690 --> 00:52:00.650
pig of your reanimation process is going to be

00:52:00.650 --> 00:52:05.190
Carl. So Dr. Wade is now working on the process

00:52:05.190 --> 00:52:08.110
for a human reanimation. And I think that the

00:52:08.110 --> 00:52:13.980
human is Carl. I really do. as they're doing

00:52:13.980 --> 00:52:17.019
the one experiment up top it is powering all

00:52:17.019 --> 00:52:20.019
of the pods underneath so it is doing all of

00:52:20.019 --> 00:52:22.539
it at the same time it is not just like one and

00:52:22.539 --> 00:52:27.280
done it is powering all of it uh adam is reading

00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:29.559
the journal outside of the cathedral instead

00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:35.460
of you know going to wessex and after he's done

00:52:35.460 --> 00:52:39.840
reading it he now knows everything he walks to

00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:43.059
the cathedral And he gets the attention of the

00:52:43.059 --> 00:52:47.599
gargoyle outside. And he like gets full attention.

00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:51.860
And then he leads them through the streets. To

00:52:51.860 --> 00:52:54.780
the Wessex building. Like he fully leads them

00:52:54.780 --> 00:52:57.320
there. And it's like five blocks away from each

00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:59.500
other. Like this is not far. They're not going

00:52:59.500 --> 00:53:04.199
a huge distance. And once he sees it down the

00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:08.300
road. He takes off running. Because the gargoyles

00:53:08.300 --> 00:53:12.260
are trying to attack them. They think he killed

00:53:12.260 --> 00:53:15.460
Gideon with, like, nefarious purposes. So he,

00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:18.679
like, doesn't attack any of them, but he does,

00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:21.260
like, this stylish run to try to, like, avoid

00:53:21.260 --> 00:53:25.719
getting killed. And essentially, like, he uses

00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:29.119
one of them to, like, ride through into the gates.

00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:33.500
So he, like, grabs, he, like, dodges one by,

00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:37.179
like, spinning off a car, and then he flips in

00:53:37.179 --> 00:53:39.619
the air and, like, grabs onto one and, like,

00:53:39.619 --> 00:53:42.659
pulls him. And like gets him to crash through

00:53:42.659 --> 00:53:45.719
the gates. And so now they're in the compound

00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:50.559
of the Wessex mansion. And when they get through

00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:58.679
the gates. That's when the demons start like

00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:03.659
exiting into the courtyard. And the head of security

00:54:03.659 --> 00:54:09.000
says it's here, which Dr. Wade says him, not

00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:13.460
it. and the gargoyles are like on the building

00:54:13.460 --> 00:54:15.940
and they now realize oh shit like this is the

00:54:15.940 --> 00:54:20.059
place and the battle commences and they start

00:54:20.059 --> 00:54:22.119
fighting in their human forms instead of their

00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:25.079
gargoyle forms this is why i'm like okay so they

00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:27.679
ran out of budget like what what's what's happening

00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:32.079
and they also kind of this is where i'm saying

00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:34.900
they decided maybe it wasn't important because

00:54:34.900 --> 00:54:39.489
they kind of Adam walks into the building and

00:54:39.489 --> 00:54:43.030
we follow Adam. And like, yeah, he is the main

00:54:43.030 --> 00:54:45.170
character. Don't get me wrong. But again, it's

00:54:45.170 --> 00:54:48.530
another battle we don't kind of see because we're

00:54:48.530 --> 00:54:51.590
focused on Adam versus like the battle outside.

00:54:52.130 --> 00:54:54.590
We do see a little bit. It does go back out.

00:54:54.650 --> 00:54:58.329
It does do a little bit of it. But again, it's

00:54:58.329 --> 00:55:01.170
the gargoyles are human, not their gargoyle selves.

00:55:01.889 --> 00:55:09.159
So, you know, save money or whatever. So he just

00:55:09.159 --> 00:55:17.239
waltzes into the lab with Nibirius. Dr. Wade

00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:21.000
tries to terminate the program so that they aren't

00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:25.079
going to bring back dead Carl and the millions

00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:28.760
of dead bodies underneath. But Nibirius has locked

00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:33.780
her out of it. And then he tries to stop her

00:55:33.780 --> 00:55:36.639
completely by throwing her into the chamber.

00:55:37.900 --> 00:55:41.039
Like of where Carl is and the electricity from

00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:46.079
like the program. But Adam launches, catches

00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:50.159
her, blocks her and takes the electricity. And

00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:54.059
he starts to bleed. And this is only important

00:55:54.059 --> 00:55:57.199
because he's also kind of like knocked out. It's

00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:00.139
important because Nibirius uses that blood to

00:56:00.139 --> 00:56:04.980
draw like a satanic symbol on his head. And he

00:56:04.980 --> 00:56:07.869
starts doing a chant. he's going to fill his

00:56:07.869 --> 00:56:13.949
body with a demon. And what's also happening

00:56:13.949 --> 00:56:16.969
is Leonore and her two security gargoyles, the

00:56:16.969 --> 00:56:21.289
two security gargoyle bros, they go around the

00:56:21.289 --> 00:56:23.829
building and go underneath and they find the

00:56:23.829 --> 00:56:26.050
pods and they start destroying the pods. They're

00:56:26.050 --> 00:56:28.690
trying to destroy as many pods as possible so

00:56:28.690 --> 00:56:31.449
that they can kill as many reanimated demons

00:56:31.449 --> 00:56:35.480
before they even reanimate. So Adam, like I said,

00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:37.760
they're chanting. Nabarius is chanting, trying

00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:40.880
to bring a demon into Adam and a smoke cloud

00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:43.320
envelops Adam. And it's like this black smoke

00:56:43.320 --> 00:56:45.800
cloud that's like going into his nose and his

00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:50.900
mouth, you know, like kind of thing. But somehow

00:56:50.900 --> 00:56:57.579
Adam is able to still beat it out. And it turns

00:56:57.579 --> 00:57:03.239
out that Adam got his soul. While they were fighting

00:57:03.239 --> 00:57:07.559
earlier, Adam was able to make a couple gashes

00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:12.159
across Nibirius' chest. Like three gashes across

00:57:12.159 --> 00:57:16.519
his chest. Well, the three gashes and then one

00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:20.480
long one across, that's the sign of the gargoyles.

00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:23.739
And he needed to get close to Nibirius, so he

00:57:23.739 --> 00:57:26.719
kind of let this happen. And he just makes one

00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:30.639
long middle gash, making the gargoyle symbol.

00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:35.079
which destroys Nibirius and burns down the whole

00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:39.500
factory and brings it down like this giant chasm

00:57:39.500 --> 00:57:43.099
to descend into hell. Like all the bodies, all

00:57:43.099 --> 00:57:46.139
the other demons, everything that was in this

00:57:46.139 --> 00:57:50.619
area is going down into this chasm in hell. And

00:57:50.619 --> 00:57:53.280
it's all crashing down. So Leonor and the other

00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:56.280
two bro gargoyles need to get out of there. So

00:57:56.280 --> 00:57:59.860
they're like flying up and they're trying to

00:57:59.860 --> 00:58:02.519
get out of there. Adam and Dr. Wade are like

00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:04.980
stuck in the lab too. They're trying to get out

00:58:04.980 --> 00:58:07.739
of there. And at the last second, Leonore and

00:58:07.739 --> 00:58:11.219
the two bro gargoyles fly out and they each have,

00:58:11.320 --> 00:58:14.480
one of them has Adam, one of them has Dr. Wade.

00:58:15.019 --> 00:58:17.639
They get to the cathedral and Dr. Wade is just

00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:20.460
like, but where's the journal? And Adam says,

00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:23.059
I don't need it anymore. Apparently at some point

00:58:23.059 --> 00:58:24.559
he had gotten rid of it. He had burned it. He

00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:27.679
left it. I don't know. Then she grabs his hand.

00:58:27.780 --> 00:58:31.469
She does trust him. He can be trusted. He's not

00:58:31.469 --> 00:58:34.090
a monster. He doesn't behave like a monster.

00:58:36.329 --> 00:58:40.409
And this is where the final outro goes. And he

00:58:40.409 --> 00:58:43.710
does this one last monologue. And the monologue

00:58:43.710 --> 00:58:48.329
concludes with, I, descender of the demon horde.

00:58:48.789 --> 00:58:56.849
I, father of my son. I, Frankenstein. And the

00:58:56.849 --> 00:59:06.309
credits roll. Motherfucker. Oh my God. Okay.

00:59:08.389 --> 00:59:13.869
So there's a quote that somebody had said, and

00:59:13.869 --> 00:59:15.849
I think this makes complete sense, especially

00:59:15.849 --> 00:59:19.909
with a movie like this one about how we need

00:59:19.909 --> 00:59:24.190
to stop remaking good movies and start remaking

00:59:24.190 --> 00:59:27.449
bad movies with good concepts. Cause I think

00:59:27.449 --> 00:59:31.119
this would be, fitting one for that I like the

00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:34.900
concept of this movie I think there's an interesting

00:59:34.900 --> 00:59:39.960
story there however I think they really flubbed

00:59:39.960 --> 00:59:43.719
it like there's a lot wrong with this one I think

00:59:43.719 --> 00:59:46.360
there's a very interesting story that could be

00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:50.840
fleshed out and what was created here that being

00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:53.800
said I do not think we have it in this particular

00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:59.099
story um as i was looking also on reviews here

00:59:59.099 --> 01:00:03.300
one of the critics said that aaron eckhart couldn't

01:00:03.300 --> 01:00:07.920
save this and his valiant efforts i disagree

01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:10.699
with that entirely and i like aaron eckhart uh

01:00:10.699 --> 01:00:14.679
honestly um thank you for smoking fantastic he's

01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:21.619
a great two -face in dark knight um he was one

01:00:21.619 --> 01:00:25.000
note the entire time and it's, it's a tough character

01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:29.960
to be, but legitimately, I think this character

01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:33.280
was like, there was no emotion. There was no

01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:37.719
characterization, nothing. Like I, I think his

01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:42.710
character was one. monotone voice the entire

01:00:42.710 --> 01:00:45.849
time and it drove me nuts because i know how

01:00:45.849 --> 01:00:48.929
well he can do other characters he is such a

01:00:48.929 --> 01:00:52.010
charismatic guy and especially like the two movies

01:00:52.010 --> 01:00:55.010
i already mentioned that's what he does so well

01:00:55.010 --> 01:00:58.909
he is charismatic and so like this character

01:00:58.909 --> 01:01:05.289
is so boring because it is so one note i think

01:01:05.289 --> 01:01:07.969
that's what killed this movie is the fact that

01:01:07.969 --> 01:01:11.750
you have this charismatic actor in this one -note

01:01:11.750 --> 01:01:17.230
role. I actually think some of the other roles

01:01:17.230 --> 01:01:21.989
in this movie, truthfully, I think they ate a

01:01:21.989 --> 01:01:26.289
lot better. Bill Nighy kind of sleptwalked through

01:01:26.289 --> 01:01:29.630
this, I will say. I didn't really care for a

01:01:29.630 --> 01:01:32.719
lot of his stuff. I don't think he was... as

01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:35.199
good a villain i don't think he like chewed scenery

01:01:35.199 --> 01:01:37.320
the whole time i will say his one line though

01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:40.320
where it's like you want him back show me how

01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:42.099
i thought that was pretty good but i think that

01:01:42.099 --> 01:01:45.900
was just a a killer line i think that's one of

01:01:45.900 --> 01:01:51.139
those uh a great line in a terrible movie um

01:01:51.139 --> 01:01:55.340
dr wade was fine i think she she uh yvonne strahovski

01:01:55.340 --> 01:02:00.360
i think she was uh she did well I don't think

01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:02.739
she had a lot to go with, but I think she did

01:02:02.739 --> 01:02:05.559
well for it. Miranda Otto, I can't say anything

01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:11.599
bad about her. Jai Courtney was fine. Yeah, the

01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:15.880
dialogue was rough in certain places. I've made

01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:19.280
it clear my big issue was just going off the

01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:22.219
action. I think they did that a lot. I think

01:02:22.219 --> 01:02:24.420
they made it more of a talkie than they needed

01:02:24.420 --> 01:02:27.360
to when there was a bunch of action they could

01:02:27.360 --> 01:02:30.159
have shown. And I don't know if that's a budget

01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:32.380
thing. Like if they were trying to stick to a

01:02:32.380 --> 01:02:35.519
budget, especially cause it was an expensive

01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:39.460
movie. Like this movie was an expensive movie

01:02:39.460 --> 01:02:44.500
for how often they tried to save money. Like

01:02:44.500 --> 01:02:51.139
it makes me wonder how much further they could

01:02:51.139 --> 01:02:54.039
have gone out of budget. If they actually showed

01:02:54.039 --> 01:02:57.920
some of the fights, I wonder where this, movie

01:02:57.920 --> 01:03:02.739
could have gone if it just kept going with like

01:03:02.739 --> 01:03:05.219
show all the gargoyles show all of the demons

01:03:05.219 --> 01:03:07.159
you know like that kind of stuff i wonder where

01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:10.280
it could have gone i think we could have gotten

01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:13.739
to a hundred thousand or a hundred million dollar

01:03:13.739 --> 01:03:19.099
budget um i wonder about that i really do yeah

01:03:19.099 --> 01:03:22.190
that's that was a killer in the fact that It

01:03:22.190 --> 01:03:25.050
was a $65 million budget, and yet we still didn't

01:03:25.050 --> 01:03:28.630
see a lot of the action. That was weird for me.

01:03:32.670 --> 01:03:34.829
I'm trying to think of a rating for this, and

01:03:34.829 --> 01:03:40.449
I've got my number. I just don't have what my

01:03:40.449 --> 01:03:44.469
rating scale is. It's a .75 for me on this one.

01:03:44.789 --> 01:03:51.539
A .75 mad scientist freezing in the... north

01:03:51.539 --> 01:03:55.059
chasing after a monster that's a dumb storyline

01:03:55.059 --> 01:03:59.800
but you know whatever that's a brilliant scientist

01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:02.400
brings a creature back to life from the dead

01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:07.820
and then freezes in the north yeah that that's

01:04:07.820 --> 01:04:11.820
a thing that happened whatever cool he's able

01:04:11.820 --> 01:04:16.500
to bring life back from the dead but also freezes

01:04:16.500 --> 01:04:20.429
in the north whatever Revenge makes us do crazy

01:04:20.429 --> 01:04:31.530
things, I guess. So, yeah. I wish this movie

01:04:31.530 --> 01:04:34.130
was better. I really do. I think there's a good

01:04:34.130 --> 01:04:39.929
story that could come out of this that just wasn't.

01:04:40.750 --> 01:04:47.329
And I wish there was. I really do because I think

01:04:47.329 --> 01:04:53.340
we... We could have used a fun... Part of me

01:04:53.340 --> 01:04:55.460
kind of wishes this wasn't like a Frankenstein

01:04:55.460 --> 01:04:59.480
movie. Like if it was just... I think if you

01:04:59.480 --> 01:05:07.360
just reanimated demons and brought... I don't

01:05:07.360 --> 01:05:10.019
know. Can you reanimate people to bring demon

01:05:10.019 --> 01:05:12.079
souls into them? I think that would be just a

01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:14.960
fine thing in itself. You don't need Frankenstein

01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:19.230
except for... I get that they brought it back

01:05:19.230 --> 01:05:21.590
because of the reanimation process and stuff

01:05:21.590 --> 01:05:23.829
like that. But other than that, I don't know

01:05:23.829 --> 01:05:26.809
if you need to tie it to Frankenstein. I think...

01:05:26.809 --> 01:05:31.829
Maybe I'm wrong there. I don't know. Maybe that's

01:05:31.829 --> 01:05:34.250
it. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Because you

01:05:34.250 --> 01:05:37.170
could make it a more charismatic action hero

01:05:37.170 --> 01:05:41.389
by just making it an action hero. It's just a

01:05:41.389 --> 01:05:44.599
dude that's like... fighting with the gargoyles

01:05:44.599 --> 01:05:47.539
and he just wants to be a loner just because

01:05:47.539 --> 01:05:52.539
but he's not like i'm just a loner because i'm

01:05:52.539 --> 01:05:55.760
a loner i'm just a loner because i'm a monster

01:05:55.760 --> 01:05:58.599
in a world of humans and gargoyles and demons

01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:03.400
oh god look at me it's raining or is that my

01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:06.699
tears Like that's what it felt like kind of,

01:06:06.699 --> 01:06:09.980
you know, that's kind of what it felt like most

01:06:09.980 --> 01:06:11.840
of the time. Like he just wanted to be a monster

01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:15.059
because he's a monster. Everybody calls him a

01:06:15.059 --> 01:06:19.539
monster and he's a monster. You know, that's,

01:06:19.539 --> 01:06:21.000
that's kind of what it felt like. Whereas you

01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:24.300
could just be like, oh man, I'm just, I'm fighting

01:06:24.300 --> 01:06:26.820
against these things because they're demons and

01:06:26.820 --> 01:06:29.440
I just want to fight against them. I don't know.

01:06:29.460 --> 01:06:33.039
I guess that's what I'm trying for. It's a weird

01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:35.519
concept because I think it could work without

01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:39.380
the Frankenstein stuff. You'd have to develop

01:06:39.380 --> 01:06:41.960
it a little differently. And that's where I get

01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:45.159
stuck. But I don't want to redevelop this movie.

01:06:45.360 --> 01:06:49.420
I think you have a concept that's interesting

01:06:49.420 --> 01:06:53.599
enough that you just biffed it. You just absolutely

01:06:53.599 --> 01:06:57.179
biffed it. And with somebody like Aaron Eckhart,

01:06:57.280 --> 01:07:03.110
I was kind of hoping for it. yeah it's you biffed

01:07:03.110 --> 01:07:06.670
it plain and simple you biffed it that that's

01:07:06.670 --> 01:07:09.030
just what it is and that's why some of these

01:07:09.030 --> 01:07:13.889
monster movies lately haven't done well and it's

01:07:13.889 --> 01:07:15.989
like i said this was supposed to be because of

01:07:15.989 --> 01:07:19.530
like the bride coming out and it's not like the

01:07:19.530 --> 01:07:26.809
bride was much better you know um yeah i wish

01:07:26.809 --> 01:07:28.949
i wish i could even say like that was doing so

01:07:28.949 --> 01:07:32.909
much better i mean it was it was better overall

01:07:32.909 --> 01:07:39.409
um but even that not not like it was doing so

01:07:39.409 --> 01:07:46.650
much better you know so yeah just just a tough

01:07:46.650 --> 01:07:52.230
one just a really tough one i wanted this one

01:07:52.230 --> 01:07:54.090
to be so much better when it originally came

01:07:54.090 --> 01:07:58.190
out And that is what's tough. I wanted this to

01:07:58.190 --> 01:08:03.070
be such a better movie. Unfortunately, it's just

01:08:03.070 --> 01:08:12.969
not what happened. Yeah. Dang. Dang, dang, dang.

01:08:13.389 --> 01:08:18.390
But, you know, that's iFrankenstein. If it was

01:08:18.390 --> 01:08:20.039
better, I wouldn't have covered it. I wouldn't

01:08:20.039 --> 01:08:22.199
have watched it on DVD and I wouldn't have paid

01:08:22.199 --> 01:08:24.119
whatever I'm going to be paying the next time

01:08:24.119 --> 01:08:27.840
I go to the library for it. So I can't believe

01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:30.460
I'm paying a fee for this movie. That's very

01:08:30.460 --> 01:08:35.659
disappointing, but yeah. So that is I Frankenstein.

01:08:35.659 --> 01:08:37.619
This has been the game for movie podcast. We

01:08:37.619 --> 01:08:39.989
have another one coming out. Hopefully next week.

01:08:40.050 --> 01:08:41.750
I really want to get out for next week because

01:08:41.750 --> 01:08:44.810
next week Super Mario Galaxy comes out and I

01:08:44.810 --> 01:08:48.710
have a fun bad Chris Pratt movie. So if you are

01:08:48.710 --> 01:08:50.430
listening to this right now, make sure you get

01:08:50.430 --> 01:08:53.369
in on a bad movie game. I'm already telling you

01:08:53.369 --> 01:08:55.930
right this second. It is a bad Chris Pratt movie.

01:08:56.210 --> 01:08:59.130
Something earlier in his career. Trust me. You

01:08:59.130 --> 01:09:01.130
don't want to miss it. This is going to be trash.

01:09:01.489 --> 01:09:05.930
I am so excited for it. Like it is trash. But.

01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:08.500
Yeah, so get ready for that. Get in on the bad

01:09:08.500 --> 01:09:11.680
movie game. Yeah, I have been Mike, your host

01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:13.460

01:09:13.539 --> 01:09:15.239
