I can see that. >> I thought it was crazy they were smoking cigarettes, but you know in the '80s they were less sensitive about that. >> I know everyone in the comments is going to say that's very common back then.

Come on, help. >> Someone's going to twist their ankle. >> IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT, GOD DAMN IT? YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF. >> I DON'T NEED NO BABYSITTER. >> I think these kids have more issues than we're privy to right now. >> Just get it.

Going to see a dead kid, maybe it shouldn't be a party. >> Mhm. I wonder if they're actually going to find the body. Oh, they said in the beginning they did, duh. >> Yeah, but who knows if they're going to find it. >> Right. >> So, uh what's with you and this Connie Palermo chick? >> I haven't seen her for over a month now and all she let me do is feel her tits. >> She's a Catholic, man. >> We interrupt to bring you an update on the search for the missing 12-year-old Ray Brower. The police have expanded their efforts to include mutton >> Kid's gone, they're never going to find him. >> Not where they're looking. >> I was right, Charlie.

I'm not going to be with a lot of [ __ ] Forget it. >> Well, then you're an [ __ ] You hang with us, you'll just be another wise guy with [ __ ] for brains. >> That's like uh >> Good Will Hunting. >> yeah. >> Woody Mouse is a cartoon. Superman is a real guy. No way a cartoon could beat up a real guy. >> Maybe you're right. >> Their conversations are so different. >> [laughter] >> You could be a real writer someday, Gordie. >> I don't want to be a writer. It's a stupid waste of time. >> Okay, chill. >> I know how your dad feels about you. He doesn't give a [ __ ] about you. Danny was the one he cared about and don't try to tell me different. >> Yeah, he was a four-star. >> [laughter] >> It's like God gave you something, man. All those stories that you can make up. He said, "This is what we got for you, kid. Try not to lose it. Kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them. And if your parents are too [ __ ] up to do it, then maybe I should." >> Aw, what a good friend, right? >> Yeah, by the time we get there, the kid won't even be dead anymore. >> [laughter] >> That kid's hell. Like that kid right there is hell. I feel bad for him. >> I love the soundtrack on this. >> Hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah, this is on my Spotify playlist. It's one out of like 10,000 songs, but >> He just turns around. >> [laughter] >> We could go down to the Route 136 bridge. That's 5 mi down the river. >> That could take till dark. We go across here, we can get to the same place in 10 minutes. >> But if a train comes, there's nowhere else to go. >> You got to jump. >> [laughter] >> You guys can go around if you want to. While you guys are dragging your candy asses halfway across the state and back, I'll be waiting for you on the other side, relaxing with my thoughts. >> Do you use your left hand or your right hand for that? >> [laughter] >> It's not that far. I say just go. >> Maybe run. >> See, this reminds me of The Lost Boys too. You don't know, but >> Which one of these boys are you most like? >> Um >> I'm like that one. >> I don't know. It's hard to tell so far. I was an adventurous kid. Like me and my buddies, we'd go down a river, and we would swim down the river for like 12, 13 hours just to go as far as we could, and we'd walk back, and that'd be the day. We'd do stuff like that all the time. I was calm. I was a good kid though. I didn't get in a lot of trouble. >> I lost the comb. Forget it, Vern. >> But you know, I didn't get in a lot of trouble as a kid that much. Like not real trouble. My dad got me in trouble for everything I did, but I think it's because I had room to go be wild. >> Yeah. >> what I mean? I wasn't cooped up in like a little house with no yard. >> He feels it. >> Oh, YOU BETTER GO. >> [screaming] >> THEY'RE ALMOST THERE. Y'ALL BETTER RUN. >> OH, [ __ ] >> NO, you better get UP AND RUN. >> OH. DUDE, COME ON. OH, BROTHER, you got to get up. >> Oh my gosh. Why are y'all making it so close? >> Oh my god. >> I was scared an ankle twist or something was going to happen. They jumped in? >> They're right on the side, so maybe they landed on the bank. >> Oh, that couldn't have felt good. >> At least now we know when the next train was due. >> Silver lining. >> Well, now that everyone's okay, I'm glad we didn't waste 5 miles. >> [laughter] >> That was the [clears throat] old-time train dodge. Vern, you were so scared you looked like that fat guy having a heart attack when he saw the mummy. >> No, really, I wasn't. Sincerely. >> That's how they're making the hamburgers? >> Vern, you better turn yours over. >> Fine. >> Oh, man. >> You got ANY MORE 40S? >> NO, YOU BETTER >> [laughter] >> CODY, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT? >> Why don't you COOK YOUR DICK? >> [laughter] >> THAT TRAIN WAS SYMBOLIC BECAUSE LIKE life is catching up with them, you know, like uh their youth is being chased away by like their bad circumstances. So, it's kind of like such a telling scene for the movie. >> Yeah. Yeah. I cherish these moments. So, they could buy them at that age? >> Why to tell us a story. >> I I don't really know. >> I don't want to hear no horror stories. I'm not up for that, man. Main guy of the story is this fat kid that nobody likes named Davey Hogan. Like Charlie Hogan's brother, if he had one. >> Good for him. >> He weighs close to 180. It's his glands. >> Oh, yeah. My cousin's like that. >> He weighs over 300 lb. Supposed to be a thyroid gland or something. >> Thyroid? >> Well, all the kids, they call him lard ass. Lard ass Hogan. And at school, they put the sticker on his back that says wide load, and they rank him out and beat him up whenever they get a chance. But, one day he gets an idea. The greatest revenge idea. >> The next contestant in the great Tri-County pie eat, PRINCIPAL JOHN WIGGINS. >> [applause] >> LET'S GO, PRINCIPAL JOHN WIGGINS. >> THE BOSS MAN HIMSELF, BOB CORNELL. >> [applause] >> THAT'S THE GUY ON THE RADIO? >> [laughter] >> YOUNG MASTER DAVID HOGAN. >> [applause and cheering] >> They called HIM YOUNG MASTER. OH! >> DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT WINNING THIS. >> MAN, BOY, are you fat. >> All these fat people are calling him fat. What's up with that? >> Uh-uh. >> This is crazy. >> And he's getting sound effects when he walks. >> The one you've all been waiting for, a four-time champion, BILL TRAVIS. >> BOO. >> I GOT 10 riding on you myself, [applause] Billy boy. >> He's got to deal with THE MOB. >> [laughter] >> CHOW DOWN, WIDE LOAD. >> They were lame anyways. >> Man, eat that pie, brother. >> That's all you got to do? Come on, let's go. >> I feel like that guy, his lack of a nose helps him. >> So, you think like Voldemort would be the champ? >> [laughter] >> YEAH. >> LARD ASS. >> LORD ASS WASN'T REALLY INTERESTED IN WINNING. WHAT HE wanted was revenge. >> What he do? >> [applause] >> Castor oil. Oh, he's going to throw up. >> Our celebrity contestant from >> Oh god, he's going to make me sick. Oh, this is about to be disgusting. >> Ew. >> He pretended he was eating cow flops, blueberries, dog >> Ew. >> Oh, he's throwing up on everybody. >> everybody. >> The sound started to build in Lord Ass's stomach. >> Ew, I hate stuff like that. >> this is not you right here. >> Like a bomb is coming at you [clears throat] at 100 miles an hour. >> Ew. >> Uh-oh. >> He's going to throw up like you do werewolf style. >> Let him have it. >> And before Bill Travis knew it, he was covered by pies with abused blueberries. >> Ew. >> Principal got his barf on the lumberjack that was sitting next to him. >> No. >> This is like family guy. >> He barfed on HIS WIFE'S TITS. >> [laughter] >> THEY all uh um >> Girlfriends barfed on boyfriends.

That's the end. >> Happily ever after. >> What happened to Lord Ass? >> Maybe he went home and celebrated with a couple of cheeseburgers. >> Ew. >> Jeez. >> You got to work on your endings. >> Lord Ass goes home and he shoots his father, then he runs away, and he joins the Texas Rangers. >> Did Lord Ass have to pay to get in the contest? >> No, Vern. They just let him in. >> [laughter] >> He's Penny Pincher, remember? He's looking for the things. >> We talked into the night. The kind of talk that seemed important until you discover girls. >> Mickey Mouse. >> [laughter] >> They're just little kids, man. >> A dog? >> Goofy's a dog. >> I'm so bad at these type of questions. >> A train is a really cool show, but did you ever notice that they never get anywhere? >> This is like that 70s show. >> What the hell is Goofy? >> That is a good question cuz he has a dog, Pluto. >> I always like a big mouse or something. >> Pluto? >> Mickey Mouse? >> [laughter] >> I promise I won't look at no more dirty books.

You'd be like posted. >> Have I ever played guard before? >> I just picture that's how you do it. [laughter] >> Should have been you, Gordon. >> That's crazy. You think he really said that or you think that's just his dream? >> I think that's just his dream. >> You're dreaming. >> I didn't cry at Danny's funeral. >> That's some crazy [ __ ] >> I know. Go back to sleep. >> It's crazy cuz alone with his thoughts is just a lot for him. When he's with his friends, he's able to just like goof off and just be normal. >> Mhm. That's why he don't want to go back to sleep. >> Yeah. >> Maybe you could go into the college courses with me. They won't let me. What do you mean? It's the way that people think I'm a family in this town. Just one of those little life chamber's kid. [laughter] No one even asked me if I took the milk money that time. I just got a 3-day vacation. Did you take it? Yeah, I took it. Everyone knew I took it. And maybe I took it to old lady Simon's and told her.

His family sucks so bad. >> It was on the tip of my tongue to tell them about the deer, but I didn't. That was the one thing I kept to myself. >> Why couldn't you get some breakfast stuff like Twinkies and Peps and root beer? Sorry, Vern. I guess a more experienced [music] shopper could have gotten more for your 7 cents. >> [laughter] >> A coupon warrior. >> For me, the idea of seeing that kid's dead body was starting [music] to become an obsession. >> I completely forgot we were still doing that cuz I'm having so much fun. >> I know. >> I kind of am dreading that part. >> It's just a trip with the boys, ain't it? >> Mhm. >> Gentlemen, the royal we could have crossed this field right here. We'll be there in an hour. Let's go. >> Man, I'm going TO JUST >> [screaming] >> YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THOSE WOODS. HEY, YOU GUYS, wait up for me. >> One of you Oh. >> [laughter] >> You know that brown kid? Well, I could tell you something about him, but you got to swear on your mother's good name you ain't going to tell nobody. >> Billy and Charlie had managed to keep their enormous secret for about 36 hours. >> Maybe me and Charlie shouldn't go. >> I don't see your problem. We go up with a whole bunch of fishing gear and if a cop asks us what we're doing there, we're just here to take a couple of steelhead out of the river. >> Come on, man. We're going to be famous. >> I still don't think we should go. >> Okay. >> Okay, so they're going to have like the ultimate showdown at the body probably. >> Who can find the body first? >> Yes. >> Get in the [ __ ] car. Now. >> But they don't have cell phones, so how how are they going to report it faster? Like you can lie, I guess. I don't know. >> That's where the walkers will be bogged down on The Walking Dead. >> Two. That's two of them. But you flinched. >> I know. >> Two for flinching. >> You should have just took your licks. >> Because he said he did. >> How are we supposed to get across this? >> We'll use you as a raft. >> [laughter] >> Hey, no, it's not that deep. We won't cross. >> You only checked right there. >> Want to drop off. >> Told you we should have stuck to the tracks. >> Is it me or are you the world's biggest [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> Come on, COME ON, KENNY, ACTIVATE. >> THIS IS MY AGE. I'M IN THE PRIME OF MY YOUTH. >> YEAH, but you're going to be stupid for the rest of YOUR LIFE. >> [laughter] >> KENNY! >> AW, THAT WOULD BE MISERABLE THOUGH. To have to go walking blue jeans. God, that'd be tough. >> I know he's just trying to get it over with. >> There is something on YOUR NECK. >> [screaming] >> LEECHES! I WANT TO DIE. I HATE those things. >> We used to catch them. We'd catch them and then put them in the jumbo. See how many we could get. Yeah. >> Oh, no. Okay, okay. Are we done with the leeches? >> You need to check your nuts and your butt. Oh! Oh! >> Oh, [ __ ] Chris. >> What does that mean? It bit him? >> Oh, no. >> How did it get in there? >> Oh, I would freak out. Dude, I would die. I think I just die. >> Aw. >> Never met anybody who fainted before. >> [laughter] >> You okay, Gordie? >> Yeah, let's go. >> Oh my goodness. I did not expect that to happen. >> At High Falls State Park, you know, I grew up in High Falls, that you go swimming in there and there'd be leeches everywhere. >> I think Chris is right. Let's go back. >> What a surprise. The king of the [ __ ] wants to go back, too. >> Stop calling me that. >> What, [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] >> All right, psycho. >> How did they get so dry? >> I don't know. They changed clothes, it looked like. But they have the same clothes on. >> Break it up. STOP IT! >> I'M NOT GOING BACK. >> AT THE TIME, I didn't know why I needed to see that body so badly. Even if no one had followed me, I would have gone on alone. >> Some people just like to finish the mission. This is that song that was on Andre. The movie that you've never seen. It's on Wandavision, too. I would be so pissed. All my logs just went tumbling. Damn, cock-knocker. That toothpick in his mouth just gives risky dude. The land in Oregon is amazing. Like, look how crazy this is. No way. Somewhere under those bushes was the rest of Ray Brower. He was for real. I didn't think he was for real. The train had knocked Ray Brower out [music] of his kids, just like it had knocked the life out of his body. The kid wasn't sick. The kid was dead. That's incredible he was able to see him, though. Like, what are the odds? >> We'll build him a stretcher. Why did you have to die? >> What's the matter with Gordie? >> Why did Danny have to die? >> I don't know. It should have been me. >> Don't say that. >> My dad said it. I'm no good. He hates me. He doesn't hate me. >> He just doesn't know you. >> He [laughter] hates me. My dad hates me. I'm no good. >> It's so sad. Like, this whole time because of the newspaper article. >> Mhm. >> And he's so good to him. >> You're going to be a great writer someday, Gordie. You might even write about us guys if you ever get hard up for material. >> [laughter] >> Aw. >> Guess I'd have to be pretty hard up. >> What the [ __ ] do you know about this? >> Oh, man. >> Wasn't planning on taking the body from us, was you boys? >> Oh, that's crazy. >> We found him. We got dibs. >> You better start running, eyeball. They got dibs. >> We earned you, man. >> That's not fair. He's ours. >> Man, shut up, eyeball. Sick of you. >> Uh-oh. Outnumbered. >> He was the one in the porch. >> No. No, I swear. It wasn't me. >> You little keyhole peeping. >> Either leave quietly, we take the body, or you stay and beat the [ __ ] out of you. >> Besides, me and Billy found him first. >> Yeah, Vern told us how you found him. >> Oh, Billy. I think I just turned my fruit loops into a fudge factory. >> Okay, Chambers. This is your last chance. >> Why don't you go home and [ __ ] your mother some more? >> You're dead. >> I just like it. >> They're not taking him. >> He's got a knife, man. >> You'd have to kill me, Ace. >> No way you're for real, right? >> That kid's crazy, baby. >> wanted a two bodies to bring back? >> I don't know. >> Nobody's taking him. >> Come on, kid. Just give me the gun before you take your foot off. >> Hell, no. >> Come on, Leshanti. Give me the gun. >> Mhm. >> You must have at least some of your brother's good sense. >> Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store hood. >> What are you going to do? Shoot us all? >> No, just you. >> Just you. >> We're going to get you for this. >> Dang ironic, he almost just got stabbed in the neck. >> That's exactly what I was saying, like >> We're not going to forget this, if that's what you're thinking. >> What if he's the one that ends up stabbing him one day? >> All those years later, though? >> Maybe if it >> just eats at his butt. >> Well, maybe it just starts like a feud or something, you know? >> Yeah. >> I'm still sad about the dead kid, though. >> I know. >> You're going to take him. >> No. Not this way, Teddy. >> Ray Brower's body was found, but neither our gang nor their gang got the credit. In the end, we decided that an anonymous phone call was the best thing to do. >> Aw. >> We walked through the night and [music] made it back to Castle Rock a little past 5:00 on Sunday morning. We'd only been gone 2 days, but somehow the town seemed different, smaller. >> No. They expanded their horizons. >> Mhm. >> Same school. Yeah. >> Same junior high. >> It's like they returned to the Shire. >> Mhm. >> Penny. >> [laughter] >> 8 cents. >> I thought I'd get home before my mom puts me on Tenmost Wanted list. >> Not the missing person list, the most wanted list. >> No, our feelings okay. >> No way, man. >> As time went on, [music] we saw less and less of Teddy and Vern, until eventually they became just two more faces in the halls. >> Aw. >> I heard that Vern [music] got married out of high school, had four kids, and is now the forklift operator at the Arsenal lumber yard. [music] >> Let's go, Vern. >> Teddy tried several times to get into the army, but his eyes and his ear kept him out. >> Mhm. >> Last I'd heard, he'd spent [music] some time in jail. >> I'm never going to get out of this town now, my Gordie. >> You can do anything you want, man. >> That's a cool little clubhouse they have, though. >> get out. He enrolled in the college courses with me. He went on to college and eventually became a lawyer. Last week, he entered a fast food restaurant. Two men got into an argument. One of them pulled a knife. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly. >> Mhm. Although I hadn't seen him in more than 10 years, I know I'll miss him forever. Man. >> He's writing. >> You ready? >> He's like further. >> ready for an hour. Yeah, my dad's weird. He gets like that when he's writing. >> I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, is anyone Oh. It's so appropriate to queue What's this guy's name? Ben King? Is that what it is? Something like that. >> But I love this song. >> What a good movie, right? >> Yeah. >> All right, guys. That was Stand by Me, babe. What did you think about that movie? >> I thought it was great. I feel like they don't make movies like that anymore in this day and age, like where you're just going on an adventure and it's just a feel-good like time with your friends. >> Yeah. >> Like there's always something more to movies now and like I don't know how to explain it. That was just a simply a good time. >> I mean, it seems like the days of very simple storytelling Yeah, they seem to be over. >> Yeah. >> Every every movie we watch that's like a modern movie or a new age movie just has like a very complicated plot and it just has to be really long so we can try to like get it all out and I really think this was just a really beautiful illustration of essentially what it's like to grow up. Literally. I mean, this was like a coming-of-age story. >> And these ones always get me, man. >> Well, it's centered around a bunch of little boys, but I'm sure on some level you can relate to it as a female also, right? >> like having friends at that age. >> Right. >> like the banter you like something serious could come up, you could have serious talks and you could be talking about is Mickey Mouse a mouse or what, you know, whatever they were talking about. >> You get to live in the moment and just enjoy each other's company in a way with no strings attached, no alternative motives, no suspicions. And you get to just do that in a way when you're a kid that you just don't really get to do as an adult. >> Right. >> Right. And it's not that like we feel that way about people, but it's just like, you know, like my neighbor can come over and he'll come over and watch sporting events and he's like a good friend to have, you know, like we're very friendly in that way, but are we friends the same way I was friends with people when I was like 12? >> And you want to know something I was thinking like a lot in this movie. This movie took place in the '80s, but I think the movie actually took place in like the '50s. >> Yes. >> Like uh the story. Um but to me it felt like times would never be the same like that again because technology. >> Yeah, like >> Like so all those times they're sitting around the campfire just having like really like I mean even though they had like not really deep conversations, but you know they actually were looking at each other in the eyes and talking. >> Yeah, they're present. And I feel like those times are gone. >> Well, that's the biggest issue. I mean that's the biggest difference between now and then. Well, there's a lot of differences, but one of the biggest differences is just people are significantly less present now. And another thing is like people tend to be in a hurry a lot more >> Mhm. >> these days. Like uh you know, like if you stop someone in public and have a conversation with them, they're always looking over their shoulder, looking at the door cuz they're trying to go. And and you know, that's fine. We're we're all busy, but I really enjoyed this movie because it was just such a simple story to be told, right? And it really didn't rush itself. And like we spent an hour and a half with the characters, but it kind of felt like we spent a summer with them. >> Right. >> And I think that movies that are significantly more about the atmosphere and about being present with the actors, I find to I find a lot of joy in those movies opposed to a movie with like a big grand plot and like a lot of like changing scenery. Um just a very slow-paced movie. >> tell it brought a lot of nostalgia for you. >> Why? >> Because like the walking through the woods and stuff. >> Yeah, yeah. >> And And that's something else I was thinking. It's pretty sad nowadays because I'm not saying we wouldn't let our kids walk out in the woods like if I'm there, but I just don't let my son free roam. And I'm not I don't plan on doing that. Like just letting him go throughout like neighborhood. >> We don't live in the appropriate area for him to free roam. I mean there's still lots of places where you can grow up like that. Like 100%. >> Right. I wouldn't feel comfortable right now in this day and age doing that, but when I was growing up it was perfectly normal. >> Yeah. >> So, it was just different. >> friends had like a little over 1,000 acres growing up and on their land they had ponds, rivers, creeks. Uh one of the creeks was called Butt Creek, but it was more like a river. And um there was a little island right in the middle of it and we built like a little bridge going to the island and we'd camp out there. Now, like I said, they had over 1,000 acres and um in a place called High Falls, Georgia. I've said that before. But um yeah, like if we were hungry, we would eat pears off the pear tree or we would break open a watermelon during the summer. Um we would catch catfish, you know, we'd catch fish in the pond and we'd eat them. And it was just it was honestly so much fun. It was it was so much fun at the time, but >> alive, probably. >> Well, looking back it was just normal. It's just what we did. I You know, I didn't realize it was like a different way of life or like, you know, I didn't really realize it was considered country or whatever until I grew up. And it wasn't like country in the sense of like like get 'er done and all that. It was just we just weren't on video games. We were just outside just playing. You know, like we just play. You know, like uh >> Those are the times when I'm looking back that I remember most is when I was outside like exploring. >> Yeah, 100%. >> know. >> Yeah, like I tell my son all the time, you're not going to grow up and remember playing video games. I mean, you're Like I think about how much time I spent playing Halo 3 with my friends and I have like five memories and I mean we played that game for days, like days days days. But I remember being outside like you know, I remember certain basketball shots that I would make like beat my friends or something like a fadeaway in the hole. I I remember that more than like basketball. >> Yeah. >> movies or something. All that stuff just sort of sort of went out. But um yeah, this movie was fun. It was fun in that way. And >> This one will stick with me, I think. Like just thinking about cuz you know, we have kids, so just thinking about them growing up like the growing up situation. Like even when I bring up growing up, I get teary-eyed because >> Yeah. >> like I cannot believe I'm 34 right and children's lives are in my hand. Just saying. >> I wish when we were kids though, out there for you know, 4 [snorts] days at a time out in the woods, I wish we would have been able to steal somebody's cigarettes, though, cuz we was smoking pine straw. Like [laughter] we would roll up some leaves and try to smoke them cuz we were just young and stupid. We didn't know what we were doing. We were literally just We were in like fifth grade, sixth grade, somewhere around there. >> I had, he he was on work release for jail and I pulled up and he was like smoking a cardboard just a piece of cardboard. >> [laughter] >> Like I want to pick on him, but I did that, too, but I was like younger. I was like a I was a I was a little kid. >> was just desperate. I think he just needed a load off cuz he was on work release. I didn't really know. >> When I was that age, I didn't even realize I thought that like people just like to smoke things. >> But Molly like flipped out. I was like, "Dude, just let him get a load off." >> Yeah, you [laughter] can't. Well, let him smoke. He's stressed out. Let him smoke. >> Let him smoke his cardboard. He's not harming anybody as long as he puts it out in the right spot. >> I think that this movie was so great because you know, you know, I must say, he loves to camp. Like that's his thing. He loves to be outside. He's an outdoorsman. And he camps out in my backyard and all kind of stuff like that and it's great, but it he would love to be able to just go walk down the railroad tracks for a day and just see like where he goes, you know, that's just such a Like my dad grew up in Louisiana out in the swamps of Louisiana and he quit school in like third grade. It might have been second grade. It honestly might have been first grade. What did he say? Did he say first grade or second? >> But he quit school by like second grade because he started working for his aunt cuz his aunt drove the school bus, but she also had a farm and she was a school bus driver. And so he'd not go to school and he'd go work for his aunt cuz he thought he'd be rich by the time he was an adult. Um It's easy to like laugh at people like that and to like think less of them, but um I mean, no, my dad's one of the smartest people I've ever met in my life. He can fix anything. He can do anything. >> of any type to your dad, he would like know what to do with it. >> not only that, he has a good life. He has a He has a beautiful house that he's proud of. He has a great beautiful yard, lots of equipment for his tree company. And he you know, he didn't graduate elementary school, but when he was younger, he would just stay out in the woods for days and days and days. >> That's Is that why he can raise the chickens so good? >> He just grew up like that. I don't know. >> Oh. >> Um Uh but yeah, and it's just a different time though. That's all I'm saying. I think this movie is one of those types of movies that the older you get and the more you probably appreciate it, the more you like it, the more you want to just turn it on and just go on a walk. >> I would like to watch a reaction to like a 20 or 18-year-old watching this. Like what would they feel about it? >> Oh, the language would absolutely make them shriek. [laughter] Their hair would turn more purple just listening to it. They'd be like This [ __ ] would start >> [laughter] >> Cuz the language was it was you know, what in the '80s I guess that was okay to say, but yeah. >> [laughter] >> I don't know. You can say that, you know. I mean I I I understand that like as people as like a society, you know, on some level like we have to grow up and evolve. Like I I get that, right? But you know, all this language and stuff like the way they spoke to each other. I don't think there was a lot of like maliciousness behind it. >> No, I think I think they were just using slang. >> But people who want to get mad about that, you can't convince them that. They're going to get mad about that and hate it. So, yeah, I think younger people watching this would think this is wild. [laughter] But uh It was just It's just, you know, it's no different than just trying to be edgy or shocking or whatever, or you know, the pop star who like shows her vagina on stage. There's no difference. It's just trying to be edgy. You know what I'm saying? It's all just a shock factor. >> Well, and to be honest like when you're looking at Oh, it's rated R, right? Cuz in the '80s like I seen Airplane, right? And that's a G-rated. Let me just repeat that. That is G-rated. There's nipples on that movie. But anyways, that this movie that we just watched, the only parts you could really say is like the cussing and maybe like the throw up. >> Yeah, oh that part was gross. Yeah, I just think the movie was good, man. It was honestly just The And the thing I enjoyed the most about the movie, guys, is uh most of the movie was just showing off the beautiful landscape of the region that they were in, right? Um they were in Oregon, which made it really fun for me because we are literally like if Oregon's up here, we're literally down here in Georgia. So, we're like completely far away from each other. >> I heard Ore- Oregon's the food truck capital. >> I heard Oregon is just beautiful. >> Yeah. >> You know. Um and [clears throat] so, I really enjoyed the nature in this, obviously. Um which is just another thing. As you're When you're a kid, nature's just a bigger part of your life for a lot of people. It's not like that for everyone, but I said I think about it all the time how much I used to be in the woods and how much I used to be outside. Just even growing up, even like playing sports and stuff, compared to now. And it it really is kind of crazy. It's like a whole different reality. So, yeah. >> I I like how and this movie reminded me of It a little bit. I know they're both by Stephen King, but um this one was of course like without supernaturalism >> Yeah. >> and like and I felt like using that same landscape that they did in It with like the What's that tall grass? >> I don't know. >> The the the like It looks like wheat kind of. It's like very light tall grass. I really like that they used it in both movies. >> Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah. >> Yeah, and they like used it as like the end. >> I don't know how to explain it. >> Yeah, I think the the best thing about this movie was just the landscapes and actually showing off the landscapes and the fact that the movie was actually filmed in real life, not in the studio. I say that in almost every dang reaction I post, but I literally am just going cuz I didn't know anything about movies when we first started the channel, but now that I've learned a lot and seen a lot, I cannot stand this like >> You can tell the difference now. >> everything's in a studio, every every background's blurred out, every aperture's super Every Basically, everything's blurred out in every background of every single shot. It was really annoying. Yeah. Even like Top Gun: Maverick compared to the first Top Gun, they just blurred out the background a lot more in certain parts of that movie, I think. Maybe I think that's the right movie. But yeah, I like how every shot of this movie was just beautiful. It was like a poster. This is just a fun movie. I really enjoyed it. I'm beating a dead horse here. Uh like, comment, subscribe, guys. Hit us up on Patreon if you guys want to see the full uncut reaction. If you enjoyed this reaction, man, please hype the video. I really do appreciate that. And we have been watching a lot of random movies on our channel lately because honestly I've just been having a lot of fun just not having to watch franchises all the time, which I love to do, but it's just been fun to just knock out random movies. >> 250 list that we got to get. >> Like I never would have watched this movie in my life, like ever. So, watching it was honestly such a treat. And honestly, out of every movie I've ever seen, this one's always going to stick with me because this was like The Goonies, but maybe even better in a way. More of like a drama, you know, more of like an emotional drama for sure, but just a one one uh once-in-a-lifetime type of movie, and I'm glad I watched it. 100%. All right, guys.
