00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:15.400
You get more out of life when
you go out to a movie and no

2
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.559
on with the shoal. Hello everybody, and welcome back to the box office.

3
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:26.679
I'm Jeff Johnson, I'm David Burns, and we are here to provide

4
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:33.520
a quick spoiler free review for a
film by podcast. Today we are setting

5
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:45.000
sale with the last voyage of the
Demeter something Rick to Pat the animals.

6
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:59.079
This looks like a bite evils.
I'm bold we called him ka. I

7
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.359
don't know about you. I went
into this with very low expectations. You

8
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.079
know, when we talked about seeing
this movie, I was like, yeah,

9
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.519
I'll go see it. It sounds
interesting. But wow, what a

10
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:17.680
great movie. Jeff, I know, I know it's getting just buried at

11
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.359
the box office because because nothing is
going to stop Barbenheimer. But nothing.

12
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.439
Man, I can't believe this movie
is not just I can't believe everyone's not

13
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.079
seen it. If you're a horror
film fan, you need to see this

14
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.400
movie. And Jeff, I think
you kind of mentioned it too. They

15
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.560
should have waited a little bit and
released this closer to October. Yeah,

16
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.799
well, look, we all,
we've all heard the story. This is

17
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:47.000
based off of a section of brom
Stoker's Dracula Log of the Demeter. This

18
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:52.400
is all about Count Dracula making his
way from Transylvania to UH to London.

19
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.079
This seems like this would have been
perfect timing for this would have been like

20
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.319
mid September, don't right. I
mean absolutely, it's it's chili, It's

21
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.120
we're ready to go. You know, see some scary stuff, do some

22
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.240
scary stuff. I don't get it, but I'll tell you what I do

23
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:15.120
get. Uh. Corey Hawkins as
Clemens. Clemens got this guy's unreal.

24
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.120
I was blown away by his performance. Man, he did so good in

25
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.360
this movie. I don't know who
he is. I don't know where he

26
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.639
came from, you know. I
uh, we were talking about that when

27
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.479
we just left the theater, and
then it dawned on me. I do

28
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.120
recognize him. I remembered him.
He played doctor Dre in the Straight Out

29
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.719
of Compton movie. Oh okay,
Corey, Corey Hawkins is the real deal.

30
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.719
I was so great to see him
lead this film and be the protagonist.

31
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.479
Beat it well. He did lead
it well. He did. Yeah.

32
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.639
Hats off to uh Liam Cunningham who
played Captain Elliott. You know he

33
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.039
that guy's great and everything you know, if you if you know a Game

34
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.919
of Thrones, he played Davos,
So he does great in everything he does

35
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.520
us. Yeah, yeah, so
Davos as the captain of the Tragic Demeter.

36
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:10.840
Excellent casting there. Another another big
win was David Desmalkin. And I

37
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.840
think I'm saying that right. If
I'm not, I apologize, but play

38
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:19.400
on wolcheck the first mate. Yeah, that guy's great too. It seems

39
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.360
like he ever since like like the
Dark Night. It's like he's on He's

40
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.159
on a slow but steady rise.
Yeah. And anybody, anybody knows who

41
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.479
knows this story of the Demeter knows
that there are no survivors. So we're

42
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:36.159
not giving away anything here to our
audience because it's spoiler free. So you

43
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.000
know what you're going in with this
story, but you know it is done

44
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.919
really well. Yeah. The book's
been out since like what the late eighteen

45
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.719
hundred, so so you know this
story about if we've given you all the

46
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.120
time you need. Yeah, Dave, anyone, I mean, aside from

47
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.360
the guys that we just mentioned,
anyone really shine in this for you,

48
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.039
Like anyone like a breakout performance.
Everybody did really good in this Man equally

49
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.199
I want to go with the hats
off to Woody Norman who plays Toby.

50
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.159
Oh yeah, the kid, the
kid. I thought he was incredible in

51
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:12.319
the Thurstain performances that a child his
age shouldn't be able to pull off,

52
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.959
but he pulled off extremely well.
I'm gonna absolutely agree with you on that

53
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.720
he was. He was fun to
see. You know, sometimes in these

54
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:25.360
kinds of movies, like the child
character can be a little annoying. Yeah,

55
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.279
uh in this in this situation,
Woody Norman, Uh, just he

56
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.319
is holding his own with these amazing
actors. I was really impressed by by

57
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.879
what he did. Yeah. Absolutely, And I gotta say hats off to

58
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.000
bar McCreary. My hat is off
to this guy. I've not seen his

59
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.839
name for a little while and composing
music for a film, and you know,

60
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.920
I've had this discussion recently about how
music has been kind of lame in

61
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.000
movies lately. But Jeff Bear knocked
out of the park in this movie.

62
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.920
Halfway through this movie, I'm like, this is incredible. And then something

63
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.319
major happens in the film and then
it just goes and notch up with his

64
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.800
music, and I'm like, I'm
buying the score and I haven't said that

65
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.240
in a long time. Man,
house lights go up. The first I

66
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.399
think the first thing you said about
the movie was I need this, I

67
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.959
need this film score. I've always
been a big fan of his. He's

68
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.600
one of those I think he's underrated. You know. He brought back a

69
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.120
feeling I haven't had it a long
time in a movie when it comes to

70
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.759
music. So kudos, do you
man kudos? Do you bear kudos?

71
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.920
Absolutely? I'll tell you another thing
that I was really impressed with the cinematography

72
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.959
because we're on a we're on a
boat for ninety percent of this movie.

73
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.279
But the fact that it the you
know this thing, you know, I

74
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.879
think I said this to you when
we're walking out. The bottom line is

75
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.600
this a movie that takes place mostly
at night. You're either the audience you're

76
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.160
either going to complain that you can't
see anything because it's pitch black, or

77
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.879
it's gonna look perfect and you're gonna
be able to see everything. It's gonna

78
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:01.160
look gorgeous. Andrea Avradell's film Here
looks gorgeous, beautiful, beautiful, lighting

79
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.759
was just gorgeous. You know.
The photographer in me is like, how

80
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:09.759
did they do this? Because it
looks so good. Yeah, the lighting,

81
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.759
the set design, the costuming,
it just felt perfect. And you

82
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.199
know, even the tight quarters that
this ship would have been, they did

83
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.079
a really good job with the cinematography
of making it feel and look bigger than

84
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.079
it really was. So to the
to the cinematographer of this and the director,

85
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.959
great job, Dave. I know, we can't we can't do this

86
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.279
review spoiler free otherwise without talking about
the big bad himself. What what your

87
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:40.399
your thoughts on the representation of Dracula
here? It was fantastic. You know,

88
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.959
you get bits and pieces of in
which I love it when they do

89
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.800
that in horror films, and then
you obviously get the big reveal later on.

90
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.399
I love his look so so much, and you do good glimpses of

91
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.399
it in the trailer, so it's
not giving away anything. And Jeff you

92
00:06:53.439 --> 00:07:00.319
mentioned it, it's very not Feratu
look, and it was fantastic. Loved

93
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.160
it, very scary. I loved
it. I love seeing it. Yeah,

94
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.879
And like I said, if you're
a fan of horror movies, you

95
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.600
need to see this movie because they
did it really well. And if you

96
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.639
like the movie Alien, it has
that vibe too. And I love that

97
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.480
about it. You know, I'm
laughing because you said that as we were

98
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.000
walking again, we were walking out
out of theater. You said, man,

99
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:24.199
I felt like I was watching Alien. That is exactly what our director

100
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.480
Andre Avridall said about it. He
goes, basically, we have done Alien

101
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.839
on a ship in the eighteen hundreds. They did a great job of it.

102
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.360
He's absolutely right, and it looks
fantastic. Dave. You know,

103
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:42.920
I don't think we're we're fooling anyone, but I'll go and ask see it,

104
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.360
stream it, skip it. Where
are you at on this one?

105
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.879
I really want this movie to see
seed because it's it's so good. It's

106
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.519
such a surprise. Please go see
it. I think it's gonna have some

107
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.319
legs. I think people, I
think this is gonna be a slow word

108
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.600
of mouth, like, oh I
saw it and it was awesome. Because

109
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.000
truthfully, I want to shout out. I know we don't normally do this

110
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.600
