Mr. Crocket Recap w/ Kay La Fro

[00:00:17] Welcome back again to Recap Kickback. It's me, your host Chappelle, and I am here to take you through another episode of the podcast where we talk about Black entertainment news and recap the hottest Black TV and movies or whatever we want to talk about here every week with me and my lovely crew here and with me this time, per usual, back again from our trip to New York City is Mari Forth. Mari, welcome back.

[00:00:44] Chappelle, we're back. We're here. We made it. We're on the side. Yes, we're doing spooky season where, you know, it's like fast, like leaving us. So we're trying to, like we said last week, where did spooky season, where did October go? Like, what is going on? So I'm glad we're back again to talk about some scary stuff.

[00:01:08] Yeah, last week we dropped a quick little podcast. We were talking about the 25 most essential Black horror films as per ranked by Rotten Tomatoes. We went in and reacted to them. So make sure you check out that video from last week.

[00:01:21] Speaking of horror, Mari, while we were in New York, we were meeting, we were talking to people, blah, blah, blah. It was a blur. It was kind of a blur. But there was a moment where we came across our guest from today. She said, hey, I love Recap Kickback. And if you ever talk about horror, I'm your girl. And I said, okay, bet. We're talking about horror on Tuesday. See you soon. And so with us today, our special guest cannot wait to introduce her. It's Kayla Fro. Kayla, welcome.

[00:01:46] What is up, Chappelle? What is up, Mari? Thank you so much for having me on. I have been a huge fan of this podcast ever since episode one. I've been here with y'all since the beginning. So it's an honor to be here today. And it's an honor to be here talking about one of my favorite movie genres ever, which is the horror genre.

[00:02:06] Yes. So as y'all know, we're going to start off with Black Entertainment News. But of course, we are going to recap Mr. Crockett on Hulu. This will be our big spooky season movie of the month because, you know, Mari's a spooky girl too, Kay. And it's crazy because you would think between Mari, LaTanya and Tyrone, all three of them raised in some type of graveyard or something.

[00:02:28] We would have had so much more spooky content, but we haven't been able to get one good spooky movie in. So thank you for joining us for this one.

[00:02:37] Of course. Of course. Anytime. And we have, I would call it a very weird one to watch today. It was very odd.

[00:02:45] Little things that I was not expecting to happen in the movie, but at the same time, it went kind of deep. You know, there were a lot of like really serious topics that also I wasn't expecting to be explored. So I'm really excited to talk about that.

[00:02:57] Exactly. And Kay, can you tell our audience who might not be familiar with you what your content, your content creator, what content do you create?

[00:03:07] Sure. I am a YouTuber who mainly talks about reality TV content, mainly shows like Big Brother and Survivor. That has been my bread and butter so far. But I'm also super excited to talk about film too. This is so crazy, especially horror.

[00:03:26] Survivor. See, Survivor brings us all together all the time.

[00:03:29] It really does. No, I'm very excited for this, Kay. And if you, if we have a good time here, of course, we have to have you back on later on to talk about other things since, you know, we know what your bread and butter is, but we got to get your opinions about everything.

[00:03:42] So make sure y'all go and check out Kay on, uh, on YouTube at Kayla Fro, uh, or, you know, on all other social media platforms, Twitter at, uh, K H A L A underscore Fro, I believe if I'm not mistaken.

[00:03:55] And so, uh, check that out. Make sure you keep up with all the stuff that Kay has going on because I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more of you, uh, moving forward.

[00:04:01] Oh, hopefully I have a feeling too.

[00:04:04] Yes. Okay. So thank everybody for listening. Thank everybody for subscribing. We have been loving all of the feedback, all the content, all the comments and stuff that we've been getting from, uh, the listeners here has been positive.

[00:04:16] And, uh, you know, it's really been reinforcing some of the stuff we've done. Mario, I don't know if you know this, but we're up to like 70 separate recordings here for recap kickback. Like in, it's been less than a year.

[00:04:27] Yeah. I mean, we've been churning out the content here between, um, you know, the dragon and all the movie update, the countdown. We've done a little bit of it all.

[00:04:38] Yeah. All the dads there. Yeah. We're doing it all here.

[00:04:42] You're a very hardworking man here.

[00:04:44] Look, I can't do it without my, my, my guests. Trust me. I thought about it and I was like, no, I can't talk to myself on the podcast. I can't figure it out. One day I'm gonna figure it out and it's going to help a little bit, but we've been, look, not, you know, you listen, you're good here. You're good here.

[00:04:59] The people would riot if I got rid of you, Mari, but you know, we have so much stuff that we have to talk about. So I really do appreciate everybody who has come in and support and supported the podcast.

[00:05:08] So many people came up to us at the live event and said that they wanted to take a picture with the recap kickback crew. We've got some cool photos and stuff. Make sure you check out our Instagram page where I'll post that.

[00:05:17] Um, okay. You will be in of course, some of the photos as well. Uh, and so, uh, everybody needs to just make sure to tune in, subscribe, uh, recap kickback.com slash subscribe.

[00:05:39] And so, uh, you know, I don't like to start off so morbid, but I think we do have to talk about, uh, a sad, uh, happening, a sad, sad occurrence here.

[00:05:47] Um, because the NAACP image award founder and actor Tony Vaz, uh, did pass away this, uh, last week, I believe, or a couple weeks ago.

[00:05:57] And I think they're just announcing it. Um, yeah, on October, on October 4th, um, she was an iconic stunt woman, apparently, according to this article here on BET plus.

[00:06:06] But one of the founders of the NAACP image awards, Mari.

[00:06:11] Yes. And we, we've talked about it on here before. Like it is really important to make space for ourselves.

[00:06:17] Like the NAACP image awards, um, you know, we, we, we have some issues with them, but.

[00:06:24] With the NAACP for sure. Yeah.

[00:06:27] But that aside, like we need to uplift the, these awards and these shows that are, are giving our people their flowers.

[00:06:35] Um, because if we don't do it, who, who's going to do it?

[00:06:38] And the NAACP has been doing a great job with their image awards.

[00:06:42] And I know people who receive them love to receive those awards.

[00:06:47] So, um, it's a sad day, you know?

[00:06:50] Mm-hmm. And yeah, she, uh, lived to be 101 years old.

[00:06:54] So that's always a blessing.

[00:06:55] But, uh, some of her credits on here are playing stunt double for a Cicely Tyson,

[00:06:59] which is incredible. Uh, if you really think about it, Eartha Kitt and many other people,

[00:07:04] I think Tarzan is on here as a notable appearance that she has.

[00:07:08] And she's done a lot of stunt performance.

[00:07:09] I really didn't even know.

[00:07:11] Yeah. Cause you never hear about black people doing stunt work.

[00:07:15] You know what I'm saying?

[00:07:16] Yeah.

[00:07:16] Yeah. Hey, are you familiar, uh, with, uh, this icon here?

[00:07:21] Um, because I had never heard about her and now I'm kind of sad that I haven't.

[00:07:24] Right.

[00:07:25] Yeah. And me neither. This is my first time hearing about her and unfortunately it's happening,

[00:07:30] you know, after she's passed away, but at the same time, I'm really glad that y'all are bringing it up

[00:07:35] because it's a really great chance to highlight black people that are not only on screen and like

[00:07:40] the main actors and the main characters, but also the people that work more behind the scenes

[00:07:45] and in production too.

[00:07:47] Yeah. Um, and as the article says, um, in 1967, she founded the NAACP image awards to honor and

[00:07:54] encourage greater representation of people in color and the people of color in the music industry

[00:07:58] or in the entertainment industry as well. Uh, and that the first awards were held back,

[00:08:03] um, way back at the Beverly Hills Hilton's, uh, international ballroom.

[00:08:07] And so this lady has paved the way for so many other people to get these awards and to get honored.

[00:08:13] And so again, we have to give people their flowers here on recap, kickback shout out to her

[00:08:17] for, uh, you know, obviously being a pioneer in the industry and for shining a light on,

[00:08:22] you know, stunt women, because I had no clue that this was a thing. Uh, and so very excited to find out,

[00:08:28] uh, much more about the stunt people as we move forward. Uh, the next article that I want to

[00:08:33] highlight, and I think this one might get Mari's attention a little bit, uh, T.I. and Tiny,

[00:08:38] they won, uh, what does that sound, Mari? They have won a lawsuit. No, I can't even say it.

[00:08:46] They won a lawsuit, uh, for 71 million dollars against MGA. Um, okay. Yeah. So apparently the

[00:08:57] story is that, uh, T.I. and Tiny had the, uh, the OMG girls dolls, right? The OMG girl dolls.

[00:09:05] And there was a toy maker, MGA, they decided to go and make the LOL surprise dolls. Okay. Um,

[00:09:13] and it seems like right here, according to T.I., he's not going to have to work again anytime soon.

[00:09:18] He's not, he's actually announced that he's not going to be, uh, touring that often anymore either.

[00:09:23] And those two announcements come around the same time of this announcement of this

[00:09:27] $71 million lawsuit. Does T.I. and Tiny need $71 million, Mari?

[00:09:34] No, no, they need to go to jail. Jail. Why are they not in jail? Yeah, you're not doing tour anytime

[00:09:40] soon because you need to be in jail. Yeah. Um, good luck to them. Try spending it in jail.

[00:09:49] Mari, you have, you have a young daughter now. Are you going to, uh, invest in the OMG girl dolls?

[00:09:55] No, but it is kind of funny. Like I see those commercials for the OMG and the LOL surprise

[00:10:00] girls. And it is, it is kind of funny that they, they really did just rip them off completely.

[00:10:06] The lawsuit shows Kay that, uh, you know, it sounds like T.I. and Tiny were on the right side of

[00:10:11] things this time, despite, you know, some of the legal issues that they've had in the past.

[00:10:16] Yeah. It's like that headline that goes breaking news. The worst person, you know, happens to be

[00:10:22] right on something. I'm a little bit conflicted because I have definitely bought my niece, the

[00:10:30] OMG girls dolls before, you know, I've definitely supported and made a purchase, but now I'm thinking

[00:10:36] about it. I'm like, should I support the other one? Like, should I support like, uh, I guess

[00:10:41] black owned toy company or does it even matter if like, you know, the owner is T.I. and Tiny?

[00:10:48] I know I bought an LOL surprise for my, my little cousin.

[00:10:51] Uh-uh. We gotta support the OMG girls. Okay. That's black owned business, Mari.

[00:10:59] Jail. Jail. Prison.

[00:11:02] Right next, under it.

[00:11:04] Electric chair.

[00:11:06] Electric chair, but make it electric, you know?

[00:11:09] I thought it was pretty interesting because as you know, T.I. and Tiny have their own legal issues.

[00:11:14] And so when I saw there was a lawsuit, I definitely didn't think it was going in their favor.

[00:11:18] But then when I saw what it was, like, yeah, it's very clearly a ripoff. And so although,

[00:11:22] um, you know, they seemingly awful people, uh, I definitely am happy that, you know, a black

[00:11:30] business wasn't robbed, you know? Yeah. You can set a precedent for letting that kind of stuff

[00:11:37] happen, Mari. Right. Very conflicting. Very conflicting.

[00:11:41] How about we can be happy for the people that work, for the OMG girls that aren't T.I. and Tiny?

[00:11:48] What about the other designers and salespeople and marketers on the team? That's who we're happy for.

[00:11:53] I hope they got money too, yeah.

[00:11:54] Exactly.

[00:11:55] I hope they got a lot of money. I hope that, uh, and honestly, I hope the victims, whoever they are,

[00:12:00] of whatever they, whatever happened to them at the hands of whoever, are getting a lot of money as well.

[00:12:06] You know, that's subtle money, yes.

[00:12:09] Yeah. I hope that covers our bases legally as well, you know?

[00:12:12] There we go.

[00:12:13] Whatever happened from whoever did it are getting paid for $31 million.

[00:12:18] Yeah.

[00:12:20] Um, in other news, we have, uh, something that I actually am very excited to talk about because I

[00:12:25] never watched the movie, but, um, the exonerated five sued Donald Trump for definite defamation from

[00:12:32] claims made during the debate last month. Um, and this is the same exonerated five, uh, that is,

[00:12:37] uh, emulated in the movie, uh, when they see us, uh, correct, Mari?

[00:12:42] Yes, yes, yes. Uh, it was such a good movie. It was so sad. Like it was so incredibly sad.

[00:12:50] I did not want to press play when I watched it, but I was like, I gotta press play. The acting was so good.

[00:12:58] The story was so sad, but like, you know, the bright side is they are now the exonerated five.

[00:13:09] They have, um, I think they did reach a settlement with the city already, but Donald Trump, I hope you

[00:13:16] have to pay them again for saying this stuff that you said. So I don't do that.

[00:13:21] Um, yeah. Kay, did you watch the movie when they see us? Cause I personally just couldn't touch it.

[00:13:27] I know you did. No, I didn't watch the film, but I am familiar with the story and how even back then

[00:13:33] when this was all going on, Donald Trump living in New York back in the day was still saying things.

[00:13:40] And I guess he's still saying things to this day about them. And I hope these gentlemen get

[00:13:44] every single penny that they're going after. I hope they take that man for everything that they're able to.

[00:13:50] Mm. The, the plaintiffs never pled, uh, guilty to any crime and were subsequently cleared,

[00:13:55] cleared of all wrongdoing. Uh, and so, um, yeah, Donald Trump pay that money. Also go to jail,

[00:14:01] you know, like I'm sure we can, I'm sure we can find space in jail right next to T.I. and tiny.

[00:14:06] If we need to, we are passing out, go to jail cards left and right. Everybody go to jail.

[00:14:12] Yeah. You go to jail. Everybody go to jail, but first pay the victims. I think the exonerated five,

[00:14:17] they went through some unspeakable things at the end of a criminal justice system that is broken.

[00:14:22] Uh, and then America went on and elected this man president after he said those awful things about

[00:14:26] these people. And so, uh, you know, it's where we live is what we got to deal with, but also I think

[00:14:30] we should get retribution for those who can get it. And so, uh, hopefully they get this. I think it says,

[00:14:36] uh, they're seeking damages of more than $75,000, uh, with the total amount of compensative and,

[00:14:42] uh, punitive damages to be determined at trial. So 75 K. I don't think that's high enough.

[00:14:49] Yeah. I think this is, uh, this is supposed, this is like a moral victory type thing, but they need to

[00:14:54] get all the money they can. I think, I think that that's what it sounds like to me. Um, but also get

[00:15:01] all that money. And I know it's hard. I know it's a hard watch, but you guys really should watch it.

[00:15:06] It is really good. You think so? They, they got nominated for a few awards too, for sure.

[00:15:11] That for sure. The acting was amazing. And then like, it'll make you mad, like watching the,

[00:15:18] like the prosecutor and the police, like clearly flip frame these boys, but it was very eyeopening,

[00:15:25] very enlightening, very good.

[00:15:26] There was a scripted film. It wasn't like a documentary or anything.

[00:15:30] Mm-mm, scripted. Mm-hmm. Uh, Jarrell Jerome, uh, played Corey Wise in it.

[00:15:37] Amazing performance. Uh, Samira Wiley's nephew. Um, so, um, what's her name?

[00:15:44] He looks like her. Yeah. From, you tell us. Yeah.

[00:15:47] Poussey. Poussey from Orange is the New Black. Her nephew played one of them as well. He,

[00:15:52] it was so good. Like it was, it was so good. And again, the, it, it goes down better when you

[00:16:00] know that they come out on the other end of it, you know? Um, yeah. Okay. I'll check it out. It's

[00:16:07] just, I have that vision of, uh, Jarrell Jerome, like in my, you know, like where he's, I have that

[00:16:13] vision, like seared into my memory, just from the commercials. So sad. Yeah. It's something that I

[00:16:17] just never wanted to experience, but at the same time, it's like, yeah, it's not a fun story,

[00:16:23] but it is a story that needs to be told. So people know what happened, you know, you're going to repeat

[00:16:27] the mistakes of the past and we don't actually know how people are making those mistakes or at

[00:16:31] least how we're being taken advantage of by so many different, you know, entities,

[00:16:35] even the criminal justice system, uh, you know, a shocker to some people. Right.

[00:16:39] Honestly, like, uh, I'm pretty sure Ava did that. Ava Duvernay did that. Yeah. And like,

[00:16:44] honestly, I would just watch it for chip tips on what not to do when you're around police,

[00:16:49] like if you get in police custody, watch it for that at the very least.

[00:16:56] That's a tough pill to swallow for some people because, you know, the police have done a really

[00:16:59] good, like the propaganda machine for the police has been really good over the past, uh, what,

[00:17:03] few centuries, you know, like, oh yeah, these are good people, you know, cops and robbers,

[00:17:07] all that kind of stuff. And to be honest, the reason why I watched it is because the lady who,

[00:17:13] um, what's her name? I think, uh, Terry Hatcher played in it. The, um, attorney,

[00:17:20] she hated it. She tried suing them for it. I was like, oh, you hate this. I mean,

[00:17:25] they made you look real bad.

[00:17:28] Yeah.

[00:17:29] It was good.

[00:17:32] Okay. Just for that, I might have to go take a peek at it. Maybe. Is it something that you

[00:17:36] think we should talk about on recap? Kickback Mark? Honestly, maybe. Yeah.

[00:17:41] Maybe, uh, maybe, uh, I don't know. What is it ever a good time to be like,

[00:17:44] let's talk about that. You know,

[00:17:47] when they get their money, when they won the lawsuit,

[00:17:52] we can watch it as a story of triumph, you know, as opposed to a story of these people getting

[00:17:57] screwed over. Um, okay. Okay. I can get down with that. I'm not wasting, I'm not wasting my black

[00:18:02] history month on that story about them people going to jail and they're innocent. Um, so we're

[00:18:06] going to find another spot to put it in. Hopefully they get their money in April or something.

[00:18:11] Yeah. Um, next up, something that is really starting to piss me off,

[00:18:16] stuff. Blade. Marvel Studios has finally removed Blade from the 2025 release schedule.

[00:18:24] And this should be a surprise to no one considering over the last few months,

[00:18:29] I'm pretty sure they lost their main actor, Mahershala. They've lost the writer and they

[00:18:33] lost several directors. There is no movie. There is no movie. I just want to be very clear.

[00:18:39] These people have been dragging us along, dangling this blade carrot in front of our face.

[00:18:45] And there was not a movie to talk to show. Why are you just now telling us it's not coming out

[00:18:50] next year, Mari? The next year is in a couple months.

[00:18:55] We here. Yeah. What? Like I'm trying to really think when was the first time we heard about

[00:19:01] Blade. It feels like it's been at least like three years or something like that. And I just don't

[00:19:06] understand what's so hard about Daywalker kills vampires. Like how hard is that to like adapt?

[00:19:14] There's like all the comic books. If you want to get real lazy and just remake the first movie,

[00:19:20] like what are we doing here? Why? Why is it? Why is what's happening? Yeah. Where's Ryan Coogler?

[00:19:27] Get him on the case, please. Where is Ryan Coogler? You got to make, he one of people like,

[00:19:32] I can't make every movie, but I'm like, can't you? I know. I know.

[00:19:34] You know, um, okay. Last week we talked about the 25 essential, uh, black horror films and Blade

[00:19:43] one and two both ended up on that list. Uh, you're, uh, you're a horror expert. Do you consider Blade

[00:19:50] a horror movie? You know what? I have no shame in admitting that I am not a Marvel girly at all.

[00:19:57] So I don't know nothing about no Blade. Okay. I don't know. I don't know about the original,

[00:20:03] the second one, the remake, this is all new to me, but from what I take it, it sounds like this is

[00:20:08] a vampire superhero movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Blade is basically a vampire hunter,

[00:20:17] but he's like half vampire himself. Mm-hmm. It's not scary. How does that work? He hunt himself?

[00:20:22] Yeah. It's a whole thing, you know, half vampire, half human. I'm loyal to these people,

[00:20:28] but these are walkers of the night. I got to kill them. I don't know. It was a lot.

[00:20:32] It put Wesley Snipes on the map really for like the movie. Yeah. Like he was already a big actor,

[00:20:38] but Blade was like, he was the face of that franchise. Uh, and then in 2019 at San Diego

[00:20:43] Comic-Con, like Mari said, talking about Blade, they've been talking about since 2019 in a pre,

[00:20:49] well, I think it was right after the COVID. Yeah. So right after that, no, no, it was pre-COVID,

[00:20:55] pre-COVID world. Um, they announced that Mahershala Ali was going to be starring.

[00:21:00] Everybody was excited. Two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali. We were about to have nice

[00:21:05] things and they have just dragged it out over and over and over until now we have nothing.

[00:21:11] We have nothing at all. There's no movie at all. They need to let it go. And they've just been

[00:21:18] letting these directors leave. What is like, what is happening over there? I do not understand it.

[00:21:24] No, I've thought theory online that what happened in that last Marvel movie, the Deadpool Wolverine

[00:21:28] movie, there was a certain cameo from a certain, uh, vampire. And now that with due to the response

[00:21:34] of that, they're trying to work maybe Wesley Snipes into this film or something. I don't believe that.

[00:21:41] I think the directors, Mahershala left a long time ago. The directors have left. Oh, he did?

[00:21:46] Yeah. He been said he wasn't doing this no more. Like, I don't know what they thought. Yeah.

[00:21:51] People have been tapping out left and right. And so I was like, just let me see the script. Is there

[00:21:55] a script? That's what I was about to say. Like, what is, what is, is this, is this like how we

[00:22:01] found out that, did we talk about this? How, um, they wrote a whole different script in order for

[00:22:08] Halle Berry to sign on for like X-Men 2, I want to say. They, um, wrote a whole script

[00:22:16] just to show her to sign on that had bigger parts for Storm. Oh, and they cut it out.

[00:22:23] And then they cut it all out. Damn. Yeah. That's tough. You know, that's tough. I didn't know,

[00:22:30] I didn't know that, but now that you mentioned it, I mean, her role in X2 was way bigger than her

[00:22:34] role in X1 and probably a little bit bigger than her role in X3. And it's still,

[00:22:38] it wasn't much, you know? So I definitely could see that happening. I just have to say.

[00:22:44] The director was talking about it and she, like, he, it was like, they, they wanted to do that.

[00:22:50] And the director was like, do not do that. Like, I forget which director it was. The director of

[00:22:56] X2, I want to say. Is it Bryan Singer? Yeah. I think it was Bryan Singer. And he another one who,

[00:23:03] jail, you know? Yeah. I was going to say. Yeah. It's a lot of jail going on in this, uh,

[00:23:11] week's black entertainment news. Um, and who was the first, who was the original X-Men? Okay.

[00:23:16] I think it was Bryan Singer. I think Bryan Singer did the first two. And then the third one wasn't

[00:23:20] Bryan Singer. And I think they brought him back for like, whatever. And people were like,

[00:23:24] why did you bring him back? Did y'all not hear about the weird case? Why is he around?

[00:23:28] Yeah. Why is he around? Cause it wasn't Bryan Singer. I'll figure it out and we'll come back to it.

[00:23:32] Okay. Cause she, cause I said, you know, I, y'all do know, I stay on Halle Berry's Twitter.

[00:23:37] And she was talking about that. It's the place to be. It's the place to be between those wigs and

[00:23:42] all of her, her randomly responding to tweets that she shouldn't even see. Exactly.

[00:23:47] Halle's good. Halle's good. So speaking of jail, um, Tori Lanz is in jail and, um,

[00:23:56] did he go somewhere? Nope. I just wanted to say it. And so, um, Megan Thee Stallion,

[00:24:04] her documentary is coming to, uh, Amazon prime. It's called in her world, in her words, I'm sorry.

[00:24:10] Uh, and it drops on Halloween. Uh, and so Megan is going to talk about her mom's role

[00:24:15] in how she became a rapper and some of her other struggles as well. I'm so excited for this.

[00:24:21] I love Megan Thee Stallion. Uh, she's a hometown hero from the H. Uh, she also is incredible. Uh,

[00:24:29] she's so strong as well. She can deal with a lot of bullshit these last, this last couple of years

[00:24:33] and stuff like that. So I'm very happy to see Meg get her flowers and be able to really have,

[00:24:39] you know, something that will document her success as opposed to some of the bad and awful things the

[00:24:44] media have done toward her in the last couple of years, Mari.

[00:24:48] Yeah. I mean, I can't wait to see like what all this documentary really covers. It doesn't matter.

[00:24:54] I'm watching it. Honestly, she could just be folding laundry for two hours and I would not care.

[00:25:00] I love Megan Thee Stallion. I want to see it. Like, I can't wait. I cannot wait. Um, I love her so much.

[00:25:10] Kay, did you see the trailer?

[00:25:12] I did not see the trailer. See, I'm so not tapped in, but I did hear about the documentary and I am

[00:25:19] planning on watching it because I love me some Meg. Okay. How do you not? I love her. I love that she is

[00:25:26] a proud anime girlie. She's not afraid to show her nerdy side. And I think she's really inspirational,

[00:25:32] especially the fact that she has been able to find so much success and confidence and comfort

[00:25:38] within herself, especially after losing a parent at a pretty young age. I think that's just really

[00:25:44] phenomenal. I love her because she's an anxious girlie like myself. I love it.

[00:25:50] Yeah. And she and I went to the same college. So we got a lot of, uh, you know, connective tissue

[00:25:55] here. Um, yeah. Big anime girlie as well. I saw her putting a lot of people on the anime that

[00:26:00] hadn't given it a chance. Kay, you do the anime? I do a little bit of the anime. I dabble from time

[00:26:05] to time. I really got into Attack on Titan. Attack is my favorite as well. I watched the first

[00:26:12] season, but I ain't finish it. Uh, there's a lot of episodes y'all. I'm coming back. It is,

[00:26:16] it is, but it's like nowhere near as like some of the other, we, we started Full Metal Alchemist.

[00:26:22] And I don't even think we got halfway through, but we did finish Death Note. Okay. Okay. Well,

[00:26:27] don't start One Piece or you'll never finish. And start One Piece. Well, we did, we did live

[00:26:31] action One Piece. I had to tap out on, on Cartoon One Piece. It's never going to end. You could,

[00:26:37] what are you doing? You know, like, that is just too much for me. Like I don't have the time,

[00:26:42] but it's amazing, but I don't have the time. Are they still making new One Piece episodes today?

[00:26:48] Yeah. I believe so. It's like a thousand episodes. It's ridiculous. Yeah. And that sucks.

[00:26:54] Um, cause why, but like, it's like, you want to watch it. I want to watch it, but I do not have

[00:26:59] the time. Who can? Um, oh, and one last thing I want to talk. I like to point out what they took

[00:27:07] from us as well, because I don't like this. My little cousin used to brag on this show so much. Uh,

[00:27:13] did y'all know that they canceled, uh, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur? Are you serious?

[00:27:18] Are you serious? Yeah. So, Kay, I know you don't do the Marvel, but it's an animated series. It made

[00:27:24] me think about it because of the, oh, anime conversation. But it's an animated series about

[00:27:28] a black girl and her dinosaur. And it's basically like a Marvel series. She's like a superhero,

[00:27:34] um, kind of. But my little cousin was devastated the other day. She said, so it's not coming back?

[00:27:40] I said, ah, my heart, my heart. Um, look at her with her fro and her glasses, man. They,

[00:27:46] they got, they playing in our face. I bought my little sister the number one

[00:27:50] issue of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, uh, nine years ago when it came out. It's sitting here

[00:27:58] somewhere in like a collector's sleeve. Yeah. Um, executive produced by Lawrence Fishburne,

[00:28:05] um, who also voiced the Beyonder in there. Um, it says season two recently concluded in August,

[00:28:12] uh, with the first half of the season. But, uh, there will be additional episodes to close the

[00:28:16] series off in 2025. And then that's it. Two seasons and out. Marvel playing in our black faces

[00:28:22] again. Um, so it just sucks because I don't know about y'all. We have a lot of that growing up,

[00:28:30] you know what I'm saying? I don't remember a lot of like, oh yeah, here's a, a big name. Like,

[00:28:35] I think static shop was like the closest we got to like, Hey, here's a black guy that we kind of

[00:28:39] made up so y'all can have something, you know? Yeah. I like, I like the idea that they had the

[00:28:45] dinosaur and, and, and Moon Girl and, uh, you know, my, my little cousin could look up to it and

[00:28:50] watch it and I, you know, whatever. Sad day. Sad day. Um, it's a great show. Also before I found

[00:28:58] it, it was Matthew Vaughn. Matthew Vaughn. Oh, he quit directing X-Men The Last Stand because,

[00:29:04] Oh, yeah. Because execs wrote scenes to trick Halle Berry into signing on for X-Men The Last Stand.

[00:29:11] And she didn't know. She just, she just found out because, uh, and she just said, thank you.

[00:29:18] She said, you just never know the shady shit going on behind your back. Thank you, Matthew Vaughn,

[00:29:23] for, for bringing the dark to the light. And that was the third movie, right? That was the third one.

[00:29:29] Yeah. That's why that one was the worst out of all of them. And it was, yeah, it was, um, and,

[00:29:36] and that ends the, they playing in our black ass faces segment of the episode. Right. Because what

[00:29:41] are we doing here? Anything good in that segment? Look, black entertainment news ain't always sunshine

[00:29:46] and rainbows, you know? Uh, we're going to get the exonerated five, go get their money. Um, the people

[00:29:52] who work for TI and Tiny are probably going to get some money as well. I can get some cool dolls for

[00:29:57] the girlies, you know? Um, there's some super lining there, but yeah, thanks for checking us out.

[00:30:03] If you only come here to listen to the black entertainment news, we'll be back next week

[00:30:06] to bring more of the black entertainment news of the week. If you see something that you want us

[00:30:09] to talk about, email us, uh, recapitback at gmail.com and let us know what you think we should talk

[00:30:15] about, what you think we should cover. And then of course, uh, you know, what's in the news that you

[00:30:19] think we should highlight? Uh, Mari, did you see anything else that popped out to you this week?

[00:30:23] Nope. I just, I came in here. I was like, Blake, Blake, like that's the one thing I knew we were

[00:30:29] going to have to talk about. You know me so well. Um, yeah, I haven't even had a chance to check out

[00:30:35] our recommendations from Laura from last week, because again, those were kind of, it was kind

[00:30:39] of dark recommendations. We were like, we don't want to watch this. Uh, she wanted us to watch the,

[00:30:43] um, the, the documentary about the, the, the, I think it was the, it was like a, in 2020,

[00:30:51] there was still a segregated part of the United States. Yeah. Yeah. When the prom was segregated

[00:30:57] and all this stuff like, Lord, girl, we can't, I'm sorry. I still have not watched Bob and Abishola.

[00:31:03] Like I, I say things on this podcast that I immediately forget once I turn the mic.

[00:31:08] Like that's fair. Cause I haven't watched Southside yet either, but it's been busy. It's been a busy

[00:31:13] two weeks. Don't you roll your eyes. If you haven't watched Bob, Bob loves Alishola,

[00:31:16] Abishola. What's it called? Bob hearts Alishola. You haven't watched it yet.

[00:31:20] But we don't, but Southside is good. That's the difference.

[00:31:24] Okay. Okay. Hey, do you have any recommendations for us to talk about, uh, here on recap kickback

[00:31:30] or something that you've watched that, uh, you think our recap kickback listeners would be interested in?

[00:31:37] No.

[00:31:41] Love you. I don't have nothing. Look, big brother is just ending for me. Now my free time is just

[00:31:48] now open. Everything y'all recommend. So I am putting not X three on my list, but I'll put when

[00:31:56] they see us on our list and Hey, I mean, not to spoil big brother. And if you're listening to this,

[00:32:03] so cover your ears. We got some black entertainment news over there. Okay.

[00:32:07] Oh, sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah. Uh, ever since our new winner,

[00:32:12] I am very happy to announce that ever since CBS decided to open up their casting department

[00:32:20] and, you know, force themselves to cast at least 50% BIPOC players on their shows, we have gotten a BIPOC

[00:32:30] winner of big brother. So we got first, we got Xavier and then we got Taylor. Then we got Jag. And now

[00:32:40] we have Chelsea Baham as our new winner of big brother 26.

[00:32:44] Yes. Uh, so happy for Chelsea. And I think what makes her win even more historical is I love just

[00:32:55] seeing a different style of gameplay. Like Taylor was able to win her way, which like Chelsea was able to

[00:33:03] win her way. I just, I loved it. I love it. And it just show, it goes to show you like when you have a more

[00:33:13] diverse cast, more people get a chance to win, you know?

[00:33:18] Yeah. Um, I saw a lot of people talking about ranking the big brother, uh, contestants games and

[00:33:23] things of that nature, but it's almost like you can't rank them the same because if you look at

[00:33:27] all the black players in the past, in the past on these shows, it would be one per season or, you know,

[00:33:33] two per season or when one who hasn't even seen the show. And then another one who was like,

[00:33:37] would have probably stood a chance if, you know, they hadn't been automatically tied to the other

[00:33:42] black person or something like that. And so now, now that we've had our, uh, CBS initiative for a

[00:33:47] different, uh, you know, uh, well, diversity and casting and behind the scenes, we've been able to

[00:33:52] have some conversations that you probably wouldn't see on reality TV, uh, in the past. Uh, we've had a

[00:33:58] lot of winners that, you know, like you said, BIPOC winners across the board pretty much since that

[00:34:03] change. And you could even look as far as survivor, even, uh, with a lot of those winners as well.

[00:34:08] Um, that you just weren't getting them like that. And so now it feels like anybody has a chance and I

[00:34:15] really appreciate Chelsea's game. And I love that she won in such a fashion that people got to talk

[00:34:20] about it, not just as a winner, but as a dominant winner. Okay. That's what I really like.

[00:34:26] Absolutely. And it got to the point where towards the past couple weeks of the show,

[00:34:32] I couldn't see anybody else, but Chelsea winning. Like she had such a clear path to the end and she

[00:34:38] was able to put herself in a position where it would be damn near impossible for anybody to take her out.

[00:34:44] Not because they shouldn't take her out. It's because they didn't even know that she was that

[00:34:49] much of a threat to be taken out in the first place. It's amazing. Just the nuanced conversations

[00:34:54] that she was able to have with people like McKenzie and Cam, the way she was able to like slither her

[00:35:00] way in and out of all these relationships and conversations. It really was something to watch.

[00:35:04] It was amazing. It was amazing to watch, to be quite honest. And I can't wait to, I'm already

[00:35:11] thinking about like going back to revisit this season because, um, she, she did a really good job.

[00:35:16] And it not only did we, are we getting like diverse winners and stuff, but I feel like we're

[00:35:23] getting just overall better cast. Like these, these casts from these past few seasons have literally

[00:35:28] been bringing it in the entertainment and fights and storytelling just across the board in, in

[00:35:36] entertainment altogether. So, you know, it's, it's just going to show you, it just goes to show you

[00:35:43] that when you add more diverse perspectives, it truly makes everything so much better.

[00:35:48] Yeah. Uh, there you go. That's our black entertainment. See, we were at a silver lining

[00:35:53] to talk about, you know, we got, we had a big brother expert here as well to join us. And so

[00:35:58] we of course had to touch on that. Um, but yes, uh, check us out next week for more black

[00:36:03] entertainment news and stick around because right after this, we're going to talk about

[00:36:06] our movie recap of the week, Mr. Crockett right after this. Uh, so we'll be back after the break

[00:36:13] and that's the break. Uh, so we are going to spoil Mr. Crockett. If you plan on watching Mr. Crockett

[00:36:20] and you're like, I don't want to hear any spoilers. Now it's your time to tap out. We'll

[00:36:22] catch you next week. Um, but if you haven't already, yeah, you can always come back, um,

[00:36:27] and then watch it and then, and then watch it and go back. That's what I'm saying.

[00:36:31] Yeah. Mr. Crockett, uh, our Hulu movie of the week. Uh, it's going to be, it's basically like,

[00:36:39] uh, I guess the quickest way I can sum it up is that you have like a television host who might be

[00:36:44] a demon who is kidnapping kids. And we have, uh, Stephanie Edwards from, yeah, from, uh,

[00:36:50] Grey's Anatomy having to deal with that. Is that, that's it? Respect on Jerrica Hinton's name,

[00:36:54] sir. Listen, I love her, but I can't unsee it. I'm like, look, they played in Stephanie Edwards'

[00:36:59] face on Grey's Anatomy, Mari. They did. But the moment she was on screen, I was like,

[00:37:04] you get it, Jericho. Yeah. So we have a haunted TV host very much in the Mr. Rogers vein. Uh,

[00:37:13] the kids are drawn to watching it for some reason. It's just this eerie, this eerie thing that's

[00:37:18] making the kids watch it. And then the kids are coming up missing. The parents don't know what

[00:37:22] to do because they, I mean, a lot of times, yeah, they're dying or they're seeing their kid

[00:37:26] get snatched through the TV screen. And who's going to believe anybody who sees something like

[00:37:31] that happen? Uh, and so the movie, I thought, um, it was different. You know, I think that like,

[00:37:37] uh, I wouldn't call it scary. I don't think it was scary. And I don't even know if it was maybe

[00:37:41] even an adult movie. It felt like one of those, uh, movies that you could show maybe like, uh,

[00:37:46] teenagers a little bit, but the language got really, the language is kind of, it's kind of dark too.

[00:37:50] So I couldn't, I didn't feel like this was like something that was like, uh, horror scary,

[00:37:55] scary, but definitely like a kind of weird and twisty K that's how I felt. Yeah. I would consider

[00:38:01] it more of a dark comedy either. Okay. Cause there were definitely some parts, especially with

[00:38:08] Mr. Crockett's character that were supposed to be scary, but just the way he had that big smile on

[00:38:16] his face and the way that he was acting, it came across as a little bit funny to me, but at the same

[00:38:20] time, I'm not a child who is, you know, alone in their house and I'm not a parent. So I knew that

[00:38:27] I didn't, you know, he didn't have the smoke for me. So I wasn't afraid of Mr. Crockett, but I did

[00:38:32] really think that the acting was really good. I thought that it had some really like dark and

[00:38:37] heavy themes just about child abuse and growing up with shit parents, let's just call it. And so

[00:38:46] even though there was some very light elements, I thought it was balanced out really well with the

[00:38:52] darker parts of the story. Mari, is this going to end up on our 25 most essential black horror movie

[00:38:59] list on Rotten Tomatoes next time they do the list? Absolutely not. But it was very entertaining though.

[00:39:06] Um, I, I'm one of those people I like, you know, I like all horror save for one franchise and I'm not

[00:39:13] going to, I don't know if I'll say it on here because I don't want people talking to me, but like,

[00:39:17] hold on, go on. You already know. So if you, if you don't remember that song, I remember

[00:39:23] for the listeners. I'm not saying it for nobody. Um, so, so for me, I like horror. I can, I can do your,

[00:39:31] your thrillers that make you think. Your exorcisms. Exorcisms are fine. I'll do those as well. Um,

[00:39:38] the really scary ones. I'll, uh, uh, like, uh, insidious or whatever, whatever. Um,

[00:39:46] Ponderings love those. Saw's love those. So this to me though, is B movie, like B movie territory.

[00:39:55] It's like, we're not taking ourselves seriously. So you shouldn't really take us seriously movie.

[00:40:02] Like, and, and we get this a lot. We can get this a lot. It was like black horror movies. This reminds

[00:40:09] me of, did you guys see bad hair on Hulu? I remember bad hair. Yeah. From like four years ago.

[00:40:15] Same thing. Like I, my horror does not have to always be smart and or scary to me. If it's,

[00:40:22] if it's just B movie gags, whatever I'm here for it because you know, I'm going to make it

[00:40:29] interesting because I'm going to yell at the screen. I'm going to be like, girl, you didn't

[00:40:33] see that coming. I've been seeing that coming. What are you doing? Don't go in there. So it doesn't

[00:40:39] matter to me. I'll, I will make it fun. So I definitely agree with Kay. This was not, it wasn't

[00:40:45] scary. It was, it was like campy. It was campy horror. That's what it is. Like that campy B movie

[00:40:51] horror. And I love right off the bat, I'm like, okay, lessons, parables,

[00:40:57] morals of the story. Um, as a parent, uh, um, I, I immediately like the themes of like,

[00:41:07] you know, breaking generational trauma and general generational cycles immediately jumped

[00:41:13] out at me. Um, just in the first scene where the stepfather of a, of a boy, when we're first

[00:41:20] introduced to Mr. Crockett is trying to get him to like eat his food and forcing him to sit at the

[00:41:25] table, eat food, whatever. I'm pretty sure I said it out. Who knows that we not, if it's not this

[00:41:32] podcast has been, you know, we've been talking to each other for a long time. Um, but like that stuff

[00:41:39] that, that we, that we happened to us as kids that adults didn't think was traumatizing.

[00:41:46] Meanwhile, like I was forced to sit at a table and eat, to eat beans for three to four hours

[00:41:51] that I just sat there and cried the whole time. Guess what? Guess who still doesn't eat beans as an

[00:41:55] adult today? Me. Like, it's like, what did, what did we do here? Like we, we were traumatized as kids

[00:42:01] and I love that. Like, like Mr. Crockett is like, oh, I'm, I'm here to save the kids. Like,

[00:42:08] and so when you're first introduced to him, he comes out, he, he essentially what we think,

[00:42:14] because we don't even get to see it really, which sucks. Really? Like we saw it, but not really

[00:42:19] stop. But anyways, he kills the, the kid's stepfather because he's like, oh, you didn't,

[00:42:25] you didn't like to be force fed either. Like that, that doesn't, you know, that doesn't help,

[00:42:30] you know? So it was just like a lot of moral of like, oh, don't beat your kids type thing when

[00:42:36] it first starts and you're like, oh, okay, this is cool. So he's like saving the kids. And then as it

[00:42:40] goes along, it's like, oh no, no, no, no, this is getting dark and twisty. Okay. All right,

[00:42:44] cool. I like it. I liked it. I liked the progression of, of the story, even though I, I had it,

[00:42:50] I had it clocked by like 30 minutes in. Okay. All right. We never, yeah, let's talk about it. So

[00:42:57] that's your brief overview of Mr. Crockett. No, no, no. I think we, we should draw the line there

[00:43:02] before we start to spoil everything. Sorry, Elvis on the last go, Jerrica Hinton as well as Summer.

[00:43:07] Um, check it out. If you like it, let us know in the comments. Hey, I liked it. I didn't like it.

[00:43:14] I was scared. I wasn't scared. Personally, I'm not a scary movie guy. So this was right up my alley.

[00:43:18] I was like, this is normal. This is fine. This is fine. Um, but check it out. Yeah. And let us know

[00:43:23] what you think before we get into our spoilers. Now we're about to talk about the spoilers. Cause I

[00:43:27] want to say something like, if you're watching this on YouTube, you probably see my little lower third

[00:43:31] here. It says major was the problem. That little boy was bad as hell. Okay. Let me tell you something.

[00:43:36] At no point was I ever in support of Summer going and finding her child. I said, when he left,

[00:43:42] Kay, I said, Hey, he's gone. Protect your peace, mama. This is your exit. The boy is, the boy got bad

[00:43:49] vibes and nobody could tell me different. Same. Look, this might be a little controversial, but I'm also

[00:43:55] team F them kids. Okay. And the problem with major is like, you know, as soon as I figured out his name,

[00:44:03] I was like, Oh, major stands for major pain in the ass because this boy was a lot. You know what?

[00:44:09] At first I was going to give him a little grace because you know, it seemed like he was maybe

[00:44:13] going through some grief because his father passed away. But then when that nosy auntie came up and

[00:44:20] was like, Oh, you need to be giving that boy a weapon. That's why he'd be acting like that.

[00:44:23] Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, Oh, maybe he's just, you know, had behavioral issues

[00:44:28] this whole time. And so that's when, you know, I started to give major a little less grace.

[00:44:33] Mm-hmm. Mari, your author says gentle parenting works. Yes. Did it work for major?

[00:44:40] Well, this is a fictional story here. As somebody who tries to practice gentle,

[00:44:52] gentle parenting, I say gentle, I say gentle parenting because that's the word that kind

[00:44:56] of triggers people, but that's not what it really is. It's positive discipline,

[00:45:01] conscious parenting and stuff like that. So like, even I had a woosah watching this movie a few times.

[00:45:07] I was like, I still like that. The directors, like the father dying clearly is an impetus to

[00:45:16] the misbehavior. Like in conscious parenting, the key thing is misbehavior is trying to communicate

[00:45:24] an unmet need. You know what I'm saying? And major was more than likely acting out because

[00:45:30] his father died. He's going through his father passing away. He, he can't be what more than eight,

[00:45:36] seven, seven, eight here you think. Yeah. And I, I just felt bad because I don't even know Jerrica

[00:45:44] Hinton's, uh, what, uh, Summer. Yes. I was like, I don't, I don't even know. I've just been calling,

[00:45:48] I was calling her Jerrica the whole time. Um, I felt so bad for Summer because like you have to,

[00:45:55] I love that she was trying, you know, you know what I'm saying? She was trying, she was listening

[00:45:58] to tapes. She didn't, you know, she, she was not down with the spanking. She's really trying.

[00:46:06] Um, takes longer. It takes longer in the short term because you're trying to do things that you are,

[00:46:13] the, the, the crux of it is you're trying to give your, your kids the tools to work through,

[00:46:20] um, their emotions and everything for themselves so that they can know how to confront emotions,

[00:46:28] work through them and make, uh, decisions for themselves. And whatever those decisions that

[00:46:34] they make, they have to be able to live with the consequences of those decisions.

[00:46:39] So it's not about not removing boundaries or anything. It's about clearly setting boundaries

[00:46:44] and then making, teaching your kid how to deal with the consequences if they cross those boundaries.

[00:46:50] So it's so much harder. It is way easier to hit your kid and say, shut up and sit down.

[00:46:57] But did that teach them anything? No. So it's like, and I've, I've said it on here before. It's just

[00:47:02] like, do you want that immediate, do you want that immediate, like obedience mixed with fear? Or do you

[00:47:09] want to actually teach your kids something that will stick with them and make them a better person

[00:47:13] in the long run? And it's so hard because you have to be emotionally regulated yourself.

[00:47:18] Yeah.

[00:47:18] And that's very hard to do when we were hit.

[00:47:23] You know what I'm saying? So when Summer just like loses it for like two seconds and tells him I'm out,

[00:47:31] I was like, girl, I feel you. Like, I, I feel you. And that's the point where a lot of us get to if we're not

[00:47:39] working on ourselves first, you know what I'm saying? And like excusing yourself before you get to that

[00:47:44] area, you cannot, if you, you cannot teach emotional regulation, regulation, if you can't emotionally

[00:47:50] regulate yourself. So, yeah. So I, I loved seeing this like in a scary movie, like I, the best types of

[00:48:00] scary movies are ones that are, are, are doing social commentary. And this had lots and lots of,

[00:48:06] of social commentary in it. And I, I liked it. I thought it was great. I did it. Goofiness aside,

[00:48:13] it was so weird because it had a lot of gore, but then not enough. Okay. You know what I'm saying?

[00:48:20] Go on. Because like, so in the, like in the beginning, he kind of, he cuts the, the, the

[00:48:26] stepfather's stomach open, starts shoving things in the stomach, but we don't see how he dies.

[00:48:31] Like we don't, we don't see how a lot of these people die. Like, like the parents specifically.

[00:48:39] Like, okay. As a horror person yourself, like, am I wrong here? Like, and we're in a world of like

[00:48:44] Terrifier 3 where we're seeing like some of the goriest stuff. And this one had like, not enough,

[00:48:52] I guess. I don't know.

[00:48:54] Yeah. It was sort of, um, a cartoon.

[00:48:57] Yeah.

[00:48:58] It was a cartoonified version of violence, especially that very first scene where Mr. Crockett is stuffing

[00:49:04] that gross looking food or whatever that was supposed to be into, you know, the stepdaddy's

[00:49:10] stomach. Cause I guess what I took from that is a visual we're supposed to get is this is how

[00:49:16] children look at vegetables. Like when they look down at their plate, this is what they see. This

[00:49:20] is in their mind. And so maybe that's why we kind of get this like goofy kind of silly version of that.

[00:49:27] I like that. I like that. Cause you're right. We start off with the scene where this,

[00:49:31] this random like stepdad, we don't know the kid yet. I think this is Darren. Uh, but yeah,

[00:49:37] uh, his stepdad is forcing him to eat. Mr. Crockett comes out of the TV. He's like, all right,

[00:49:42] I'll force you to eat. He cuts them open and shoves the food in them. All right. Then we get, uh,

[00:49:46] Majors that passes away and for a second, you know, you can tell that this is going to affect him,

[00:49:53] but, uh, Jerrica or AKA Summer is like, Hey, um, it's me and you, baby. We got this. Like,

[00:50:01] we're going to have to work through this together. Here's a whistle. If you ever feel scared or

[00:50:04] something like that, or you need, you have some emotional issues, just blow the whistle.

[00:50:08] And then they hit us with the uno reverse because his little ass is bad. He does not stop acting a

[00:50:14] fool ever at any point. Have I ever like, maybe he, maybe he just go to leave his ass there with Mr.

[00:50:21] Crockett. Okay. I was done. I was over it. No, he was telling her through the whistle. He's like,

[00:50:28] I am not feeling good. Yeah. But like, dang, she tried her best. This lady is trying everything

[00:50:34] to get him to chill. And he just won't, she was wearing her, like he were wearing her ass out.

[00:50:40] And so, um, you know, at some point, you know, I think she was even reading or listening to those,

[00:50:45] like, uh, the gentle parenting help guides and me and you, we both like, Hey, I'm from kids.

[00:50:52] Somebody suggested, okay, well, instead of spanking your child, allow your child to spank you.

[00:50:58] That was dumb. That's not a, that's not a tenant.

[00:51:03] It makes no sense. You're still saying the, we should be saying don't hit period. You know what

[00:51:09] I'm saying? Like, that's why it's been, it doesn't make sense. Like you're, you're, you hit your kids

[00:51:16] get in trouble for hitting somebody at school. Then you hit them to be like, Hey, don't hit

[00:51:21] somebody at school. What sense does that make? No, you let them hit you so that they experience.

[00:51:26] No, there should be no hitting. And it definitely didn't make any black ass since the summer.

[00:51:33] Cause notice how she's with me, turn that shit off. She was like, Nope. All right. I'm done with this.

[00:51:40] She said, y'all done lost y'all mind. So, um, she goes out to the mailbox and she finds the movie

[00:51:46] just, uh, strategically placed in her mailbox. No reason. This is just in there. She didn't ask

[00:51:50] no questions. She was just like, please sit down and watch the movie. So she turns the movie on

[00:51:54] and instantly major is in a trance to where he will not stop watching this, uh, Mr. Crockett's

[00:52:00] world movie over and over again. I'm like, I know this is close to home because kids today,

[00:52:04] Oh, they will get on YouTube and sit in a trance and watch it for hours. I think parents are

[00:52:09] complaining more about YouTube now than they were complaining about anything we've ever did in the

[00:52:13] past. It's so bad. We've had to remove YouTube from JJ's like phone and tablet and stuff like

[00:52:18] eight times. It's so bad because it's like, he'll start, they'll start on stuff that's kid appropriate,

[00:52:26] but YouTube's algorithm fucking sucks. So it'll show them stuff that is not appropriate for kids that use

[00:52:34] kid images. So one minute he's watching something appropriate. Then you look up and you're like,

[00:52:39] what is this? Why are cartoon characters cussing? And then you got to try and explain to them like,

[00:52:46] this isn't what you're supposed to be looking at. And then that's a whole thing.

[00:52:51] Yeah. Or sometimes the, the advertisements that they show on there will be like just very not

[00:52:58] appropriate and wrong. One time my nephew, he was watching YouTube and the commercial that came up

[00:53:03] after that, it was a commercial of Candace Owens. And she was talking, she was speaking over this

[00:53:10] cartoon. So it was clearly a commercial went for kids. And she was literally telling this story about

[00:53:14] the slave trade and how, you know, back in the 1600s, it was actually black people enslaving other black

[00:53:21] people. And it's the reason why this happened is because of, you know, Africans and slaves, but you know,

[00:53:26] of course that did happen a little bit Africans, you know, enslaving other Africans, but she was

[00:53:31] blaming the transatlantic slave trade on black people. And it was a cartoon that they were showing

[00:53:37] during a commercial on a YouTube kids channel. I was like, cut that off next. Whenever you see

[00:53:43] that skip ads, don't listen to that lady at all. It's so, it's so bad. It's so annoying. Yeah. And, um,

[00:53:51] you can tell this had him in a trance because if as bad as he was, Summer was like, you got to turn on

[00:53:56] you got to turn that off. That kid had been sitting there for days straight and watching that, um,

[00:54:01] you know, just in a trance. And at some point this, the media will start to shape the way your kids see

[00:54:05] the world. So obviously she, she tries to shut it down. Uh, and it doesn't go well. Um, and, uh,

[00:54:12] Mr. Crockett is also waging war on the rest of the community of these, uh, quote unquote,

[00:54:16] bad parents. We will find another parent who, uh, I think, uh, the parent looks like he's on heroin

[00:54:21] or at the very least, uh, an alcoholic or drunk. And he had a needle in his arm. Like,

[00:54:27] yeah, there was like a needle in his arm. It was like a heroin, just like, uh, and like crack

[00:54:35] sprinkled on the, on the nightstand. Like, so it was like, okay, this person is doing drugs. Uh,

[00:54:39] and so Mr. Crockett had to come out of the TV and, and save him. And I think, um, it was this,

[00:54:46] this actually, I shouldn't have laughed at this, but it was kind of funny to me. This man looks like he

[00:54:50] should have a gun in his hand at all times. It took him a long time before he decided I need

[00:54:54] to shoot Mr. Crockett. Uh, he's like, what are you doing in my house? I'm like, shoot him, shoot him.

[00:55:00] Yeah. Um, so we kind of see Mr. Crockett's MO, right? He finds, uh, these parents who have failed

[00:55:06] their sacred duty as a parent, and he's here to teach them a lesson. He ends up freezing a guy

[00:55:11] in one place and doing like magic stuff. It was all bad. Mr. Crockett's out here killing folks,

[00:55:16] but that's his thing, right? He finds the parents that cannot control their kids or

[00:55:20] that are abusive to their kids. And he shuts it down. And sadly for Summer, she does have her

[00:55:26] meltdown, Mari. And so Mr. Crockett is now has attention on her. Yeah. He, he, he like kills the

[00:55:32] parents in some cases, and then he takes the kids and Summer, like we said, when Summer tries to turn

[00:55:40] the Mr. Crockett off, um, major throws a tantrum, happens all the time. And she was just, I, oh my

[00:55:48] God. I was like, girl. Yes. I felt every, I felt it. I felt that mother rage. And she just, she just

[00:55:56] screamed at the top of her lungs and just like, I don't, I don't want you anymore. She didn't say

[00:56:00] that, but she was just like, I quit. She was like, I quit. I give up. We're no longer a team anymore.

[00:56:05] And, um, so Mr. Crockett came for, for major. Why he didn't kill her? I don't know. Um, I mean,

[00:56:14] he don't kill everybody, but I don't, I don't know what, how he, he killed a lot. He killed the men.

[00:56:21] But yeah, I would say the black women survived Rhonda, Summer, they was chilling. Yeah.

[00:56:27] Is Mr. Crockett a feminist?

[00:56:28] He might be, you know what? At some points I definitely considered him the anti-hero,

[00:56:37] especially when he was saving that, you know, girl whose dad was on drugs and stuff like that.

[00:56:42] It's like, you know, this is a lot of kids. Unfortunately, this is like their real life.

[00:56:47] And if they don't have anybody to step in and save them, who is that person? And then,

[00:56:52] you know, later on in the movie, when we hear more about Mr. Crockett and where he comes from,

[00:56:57] it all ends up making sense. And so, I don't know, part of me, like,

[00:57:04] part of me kind of wants to stand Mr. Crockett a little bit, right?

[00:57:07] A little bit.

[00:57:08] Well, no.

[00:57:10] Give these moms a break, you know.

[00:57:12] I don't know.

[00:57:13] He came in and took major off her hands when she was at her wits end, okay? This lady could not take

[00:57:17] no more. Mr. Crockett said, I got it. I'm gonna step in. You just take a little break. Now, the fact

[00:57:22] that she wanted major back, I don't think Mr. Crockett could have accounted for that because nobody would.

[00:57:27] Like, he's like, damn girl, I thought you was gonna be okay with this. You know what I'm saying?

[00:57:31] I'm doing us a favor here. So, she goes to the cops, of course, and they think she's a psycho,

[00:57:36] and they think that the kid, hey, if he got kidnapped, good for him because the lady's crazy.

[00:57:41] They said, oh, another runaway. Makes sense. At eight? An eight-year-old runaway?

[00:57:47] Yeah, but she thought the TV was talking, Mari.

[00:57:52] But an eight-year-old runaway.

[00:57:54] If I was eight years old and my mama started thinking the TV was talking to her and then somebody

[00:57:57] came out of it, I'd leave.

[00:57:59] There was definitely some racism going on from those police because they assumed that she was a junkie.

[00:58:05] They called her a junkie. They were like, that's why the kid ran away. So, it was just a lot of

[00:58:09] assumptions going on. But to be fair, it's like, she did break her own TV and then say that her

[00:58:14] kid walked through the walls by the guy, you know, from the television station. So, it's like,

[00:58:18] I do kind of get it.

[00:58:20] And this was 94, right? We kind of hit that. Yeah, this is a 1994. So, like...

[00:58:27] Right. This is the first time I've seen a VCR on television in a long time, you know,

[00:58:31] and they're popping that VHS in. And I'm like, oh, are we doing this? So, Mr. Crockett has his

[00:58:37] team of kids that he's been kidnapping and leaving these parents in disarray. So, Summer's on the

[00:58:42] lookout. She's trying to find anybody who can help her. There's some missing child signs up.

[00:58:47] And she ends up finding another Black woman. I can't remember her name. What was her name?

[00:58:53] Oh, God dang it. What was her name? It'll come to me in a second.

[00:58:57] Well, before that, she did the, you know... Well, because, yeah, she found out other kids were

[00:59:03] missing. And then she's like, wait, the police aren't doing their jobs? And then she went to the

[00:59:08] microfiche. We always got to go to the microfiche. She did. Yeah. So, she's like, okay, let me go.

[00:59:13] Let me go look this up. Let me go find out what's going on. And she's searching through the archives,

[00:59:18] you know, because it's 94. And so, she's doing it. And then she finds Mr. Crockett. Oh, okay.

[00:59:24] This man has been pulling this thing a lot. And actually, he was murdered by the cops, Mari. It was

[00:59:30] like, it was a pretty gruesome story from her point of view. Yes. So, first she saw, like,

[00:59:39] articles of, like, other kids going missing. Just kids going missing. Can't find these kids. Kids

[00:59:44] are missing. Then she saw an article from 1979 where Crockett, he was a, like, a children's host at the

[00:59:52] time. He, they said that he had abducted a boy and the police found him and shot him and killed him.

[01:00:01] And that the boy was sent home, sent back home. And then she gets attacked by him in the microfiche

[01:00:11] library area. But I just want to ask, Kay, I mean, did this not give you flashbacks of it?

[01:00:19] Yes. Especially the fact that they were going in the library looking for all the information. That's

[01:00:24] like a classic horror trope. Any movie that takes place before the dawn of the internet, you always

[01:00:31] have that scene where you're going looking through the archives trying to find out what's up with the

[01:00:35] killer. You know, we've seen it done a million times before, but it's always a fun one. And then just

[01:00:40] like in the original It, we had Mr. Crockett sort of show up in the library on the TV. And

[01:00:48] one thing I liked about this movie is that there were some, you know, stereotypes that it just,

[01:00:55] you know, that just never came true. Like, for example, a lot of time, you know, in the horror

[01:01:00] movies, us black folks were like, hey, get away, run away. As soon as something sketchy happens,

[01:01:05] you know, we're out of there. But our lead character, she sees Mr. Crockett creepily on the

[01:01:11] TV. She knows something's weird. And he tells her come closer to the screen. And her dumb ass just

[01:01:17] nothing. We have to walk closer to him. Like, what are you doing?

[01:01:21] Yeah. Breaking down stereotypes and barriers, you know, and also setting us back to 94. Since 94,

[01:01:27] we've made a lot of strides in the horror scene. You know, I think we don't make those mistakes

[01:01:32] anymore to your point, Kay. So yeah, she has the archives. She knows that she needs to find

[01:01:37] somebody. And she goes and finds Rhonda. Rhonda was her name. And Rhonda is the other woman,

[01:01:43] I think, who has been, everybody didn't assume that she's a junkie or something like that,

[01:01:47] because she's been hollering about Mr. Crockett this whole time. And then they also,

[01:01:51] is this when they meet, is it Mr. Brady? Eddie. Yeah, Eddie. This is when they meet.

[01:01:57] He runs into Eddie first, and then her and Eddie find Rhonda.

[01:02:01] Right. And so, Mara, you said you clocked it about 30 minutes in.

[01:02:04] Immediately. Instantly. Immediately.

[01:02:06] Immediately. Eddie was like, yeah. Immediately. I, before he introduced himself, I was like,

[01:02:10] oh, it's the little boy that Mr. Crockett gave back. And then, and then when he introduced

[01:02:16] himself as something different, I was like, oh, you're okay. You're just going to reveal it later.

[01:02:20] You're just going to lie. Yeah. I was like, you're just going to lie like that?

[01:02:24] Okay. You saw the big twist coming a mile away as well.

[01:02:26] Oh yeah. I was like, that's the same little light skin boy. Who else would it be?

[01:02:29] Exactly. Look just like him. Look at you. Look just like him. If nothing else, that's his son.

[01:02:34] I saw him, you know. Yeah. So yes, we meet Eddie and Eddie, and he's like, I'm going to help you.

[01:02:41] But he doesn't really ever say why. He's like, yeah, I know this thing is going on. He's being

[01:02:44] very cagey about who he is, his connection. You know, just kind of being like, no, no,

[01:02:49] I'll help you. My, my, my daughter or something was like, he's just, it was like,

[01:02:54] he didn't have anything. It was so obvious. Like she'd get into his car and he's playing the,

[01:02:59] the Mr. Crockett song. And he's like, Oh my bad. That was for my daughter. Like,

[01:03:04] it was just like, what? Sir, why are you listening to the theme song for this murderous,

[01:03:08] uh, you know, zombie man that we looking for this demon guy?

[01:03:11] It was so obvious. You didn't like when her and Rhonda were, when they find Rhonda and Rhonda's

[01:03:17] like, Oh, I tapped into the energies. Let's look at these memories. There's a clip of, of Mr.

[01:03:22] Crockett and Anthony and the camera goes directly to Eddie's face. And Eddie's like,

[01:03:27] look, staring at it longingly. I'm like, I think like this is supposed to be this obvious,

[01:03:33] right? I mean, yeah. Right. Did you get it? Yeah. That's why I said, is this for kids?

[01:03:38] Because I was like, even if I taught the twist, then, you know, they're like, all right,

[01:03:42] it wasn't that deep. But of course they never explained who Eddie is. So it's like, well,

[01:03:46] he has to be something. Yeah. He just popped up. So we have Eddie and Rhonda and, uh,

[01:03:52] it's summer and they're now a team. As you said, um, Rhonda does some cool thing where she taps into

[01:03:59] the footage. What exactly is happening right here? She's in the matrix.

[01:04:03] Okay. You know,

[01:04:04] this reminded me exactly of that poltergeist movie. I'm pretty sure they were trying to do

[01:04:10] a reference to that. Cause they've referenced a couple of horror movies and other shows that I

[01:04:15] noticed little Easter eggs here and there. Uh, yeah. I don't know what her thing was.

[01:04:21] My thing is how was she able to get all these equipment and TVs and stuff?

[01:04:26] Like, it's like, you know, taking it with, you know, I feel you do what you got to do.

[01:04:31] You know what I mean? You got to lose, you know, your kid or whatever.

[01:04:34] But she not in a house. Yeah. You like, you're right. She living in like a pillow fort outside.

[01:04:40] She's taking somebody's electricity is what she's doing. Hey, I didn't matter her,

[01:04:44] you know, bills is high. Run that extension cord if you need to. I don't care.

[01:04:47] Listen, we didn't lie back when I was going to. We had to run the extension cord

[01:04:51] to roast the backyard one time. You know, we had some dark days.

[01:04:54] That'll keep the lights on for sure. Yeah. But they don't really explain

[01:04:57] how Rhonda has this ability to pull the archives.

[01:05:01] It was something like frequencies. Like she said, his energy, like he,

[01:05:05] his energy. It's like he possessed the frequencies of the TV.

[01:05:12] And she tapped into that frequency.

[01:05:14] So tapping into that frequency was tapping into his mind.

[01:05:19] So when she was showing it to him, she was showing them like stuff from his mind,

[01:05:24] you know?

[01:05:26] And then he attacked them. Right.

[01:05:30] And then they, that's how they were able to get to his dimension.

[01:05:33] I believe.

[01:05:34] Well, they found the location of his lair or something like that when they were doing

[01:05:37] the frequencies.

[01:05:39] Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no.

[01:05:41] They found his next victim where his next victim. Yes.

[01:05:44] Where his next victim was going to be.

[01:05:46] Look at that. Black women in STEM, you know, just.

[01:05:50] Oh yeah.

[01:05:51] So they end up going to Mr. Crockett,

[01:05:55] finding themselves eventually cornered in his lair.

[01:05:57] And he has this pet,

[01:05:59] like sidekick, dragging monster.

[01:06:03] What is it? What is it?

[01:06:05] It was Buffalo.

[01:06:06] Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.

[01:06:09] Blue bison or something.

[01:06:10] Blue.

[01:06:10] It was blue.

[01:06:12] But he was like.

[01:06:12] Blue bison.

[01:06:13] But he wasn't just like a.

[01:06:14] Yeah.

[01:06:14] But he was like a vicious thing.

[01:06:16] You know what I'm saying?

[01:06:16] Like I'm trying to paint a picture for the people who didn't watch it.

[01:06:18] He had a lot of teeth smart.

[01:06:20] Yeah.

[01:06:20] I mean, yeah.

[01:06:22] The closest I can say is for like wrestling fans.

[01:06:25] It was literally like the Firefly Funhouse where like it's the cute puppets.

[01:06:30] Then it's the bat, the bad looking puppets.

[01:06:32] Oh, you know what?

[01:06:33] It's like kind of like a Pee Wee's Playhouse.

[01:06:36] But if everything was, you know, like the clock is talking,

[01:06:39] the couch is eating people.

[01:06:41] The couch is eating people.

[01:06:42] Yeah.

[01:06:42] Yeah.

[01:06:43] There's a lot of that going on there.

[01:06:45] Yeah.

[01:06:45] But very cartoony.

[01:06:46] Like Kay said.

[01:06:47] You know, it's not, it's not overtly scary.

[01:06:50] But if you're a kid or if you kind of like,

[01:06:52] if you put yourself in this cartoonish world,

[01:06:54] then that is your monster.

[01:06:55] Right.

[01:06:56] It's.

[01:06:57] Yeah.

[01:06:57] I like that.

[01:06:58] It seemed very.

[01:07:01] What's the word?

[01:07:02] Practical.

[01:07:02] Did that seem like practical effects to you, Kay?

[01:07:05] Yeah.

[01:07:06] Yeah.

[01:07:06] It reminded me of like animatronics a little bit.

[01:07:10] Like Five Nights at Freddy's, that sort of thing.

[01:07:12] That's been going on right now.

[01:07:13] That's a good example too.

[01:07:15] I love that.

[01:07:16] I love that aesthetic.

[01:07:18] So they're in the fight with him.

[01:07:20] He brings in the kids, including Major.

[01:07:22] And then that's when he tells us his whole backstory.

[01:07:24] And it's even cartoonish.

[01:07:25] Yeah.

[01:07:26] Yeah.

[01:07:26] We get the animated version of his backstory.

[01:07:29] And it's kind of like your favorite thing, Mari,

[01:07:31] the unreliable narrator, where he's telling the story,

[01:07:34] but the vision that we're seeing is totally different.

[01:07:36] He's like, yeah.

[01:07:37] So I was abused.

[01:07:39] And then I grew up and I got really, really strong.

[01:07:42] And then I made sure my dad couldn't abuse me anymore

[01:07:44] because he killed him.

[01:07:45] Right.

[01:07:45] He murdered him.

[01:07:46] Yes.

[01:07:46] Exactly.

[01:07:47] And so then he made sure the cops didn't find out,

[01:07:49] but he also made it his calling to be a good parent

[01:07:52] and protect the abused just like he was abused.

[01:07:55] So he grows up.

[01:07:56] He has this children's show because he wants to show the kids,

[01:08:00] like I can be the father figure for you

[01:08:02] or the parent figure for you

[01:08:03] so that you don't have to deal with this,

[01:08:04] you know, the sadness in your life.

[01:08:06] But then he meets a boy with sad eyes, baby Anthony.

[01:08:12] And Anthony, he offered Anthony a place to stay.

[01:08:15] He said, you can come stay with me.

[01:08:16] Now, while he's saying offered a place to stay,

[01:08:18] I'm thinking you kidnapped that little boy.

[01:08:20] You kidnapped that little boy.

[01:08:22] Then the cops found out.

[01:08:24] They come over.

[01:08:25] They kick in the door.

[01:08:26] And he wasn't quite ready to let Anthony go.

[01:08:29] So he stopped the cops by diving at them

[01:08:32] and just stabbing and stabbing and stabbing and stabbing.

[01:08:37] I'm sorry.

[01:08:38] I know it's dark, but I kind of like this part of the movie.

[01:08:41] Yeah.

[01:08:42] The animated part made it really fun.

[01:08:44] Despite the dark tones.

[01:08:46] But he kills the cops.

[01:08:48] And then, well, they kill him too.

[01:08:49] You know, he gets shot, as the archives said.

[01:08:51] But this is where it gets good, Kay.

[01:08:53] He sold his soul to the devil

[01:08:55] so that he can make sure that he can take care of these kids.

[01:08:58] I don't know, man.

[01:08:59] We might need to stay.

[01:09:00] See?

[01:09:01] He's an anti-hero.

[01:09:03] Come on.

[01:09:03] He's not that bad.

[01:09:05] No.

[01:09:05] We're going to keep going, but keep going.

[01:09:07] No, come on.

[01:09:08] It was just a little deal with it.

[01:09:10] It wasn't even a big one.

[01:09:11] You know what I mean?

[01:09:12] Just a little bit.

[01:09:13] Yeah.

[01:09:13] Guys, the deal with the devil is not the part.

[01:09:16] It's the pedophilia.

[01:09:18] Oh, yeah.

[01:09:19] That part.

[01:09:20] Yeah.

[01:09:21] Yeah.

[01:09:21] Well, we'll talk about it, Mari.

[01:09:23] Yeah.

[01:09:24] Well, okay.

[01:09:24] So after we get his story,

[01:09:28] Eddie jumps out.

[01:09:29] He's like, it's me, Mrs.

[01:09:30] It's me.

[01:09:31] I'm Anthony.

[01:09:33] I want to stay here with you.

[01:09:35] He was the only person who loved me.

[01:09:38] And so this is the part where I was like,

[01:09:40] I clocked everything.

[01:09:41] So I was like, okay,

[01:09:41] so maybe then Anthony will say,

[01:09:45] here, I'll stay here with you.

[01:09:46] Let these kids go.

[01:09:48] And I was like, okay.

[01:09:49] And that's how it ends.

[01:09:51] But when Eddie slash Anthony was like,

[01:09:54] I loved it here.

[01:09:55] I want to be,

[01:09:56] I want to stay here with you.

[01:09:58] This is my home now.

[01:09:59] Mr.

[01:09:59] Crocker's like, you're not Anthony.

[01:10:02] You're an old, bitter man.

[01:10:04] And I was like, oh, here's the pedophilia.

[01:10:05] It's confirmed.

[01:10:06] He doesn't like him anymore because he's not a kid anymore.

[01:10:08] This is, this is,

[01:10:09] they're saying the quiet part out loud now because the minute he's like,

[01:10:14] he's like, you're not a kid anymore.

[01:10:15] I don't want you.

[01:10:16] And Anthony's like, no, stop it.

[01:10:18] I want to stay here with you.

[01:10:20] And Mr.

[01:10:20] Crocker's like, no, you can't.

[01:10:22] And then he kills him.

[01:10:23] I was like, oh, well, the bison, the bison kills him or whatever.

[01:10:27] And I was like, oh yeah.

[01:10:28] So he, I was like, it's confirmed.

[01:10:30] He's a, he's a pedophile guys.

[01:10:32] He's a pedophile.

[01:10:33] He doesn't, he doesn't care about the children.

[01:10:35] Well, I definitely didn't pick up that he was touching on the kids.

[01:10:39] I definitely just thought he kind of was like in his like,

[01:10:42] in his own weird way, just like obsessed with children.

[01:10:44] You know, like I was like, cause he, you know, I didn't, you know,

[01:10:47] poor Anthony, but also like get away from the Mr.

[01:10:49] Crocker, but also, you know, keep major, but don't touch him.

[01:10:51] You know, like it's a hard balance.

[01:10:55] But don't touch him.

[01:10:57] Major is bad, but also you don't need to, you know, don't touch him.

[01:11:00] But I, yeah, I didn't pick up that he was a pedophile, Mari.

[01:11:03] To me, that's what that signifies.

[01:11:05] Cause if you lose interest in that person, once they're grown up,

[01:11:10] man, that's textbook.

[01:11:13] To me, it felt like his villain, his whole being was,

[01:11:16] I need to protect the kids.

[01:11:18] And so for me, it felt like, you know,

[01:11:20] that was why he had no interest in Anthony anymore.

[01:11:23] Cause he just, he was out of his jurisdiction.

[01:11:25] You know, like once he hit 18, he's like,

[01:11:26] I don't have, I don't have nothing to do with you no more.

[01:11:29] Yeah.

[01:11:30] Like that's what I was thinking too.

[01:11:32] But then now that Mari's talking, I'm like, oh no, oh no.

[01:11:34] I regret everything that I said so far.

[01:11:37] Cause he's an unreliable narrator as well.

[01:11:39] Right?

[01:11:39] Like we know he gonna lie cause we saw it happening in the real time.

[01:11:43] We're seeing the story play out in front of us.

[01:11:45] Yeah.

[01:11:45] He needed a home.

[01:11:46] So I gave him a home.

[01:11:47] You know, he really wanted to come live with me.

[01:11:49] So I went to go, he had side eyes.

[01:11:50] So I went to go pick them up.

[01:11:51] We can't trust nothing that Mr. Crockett is saying.

[01:11:54] So, you know, I wouldn't write it out.

[01:11:57] You know, like if they, if you tell me that he's a pedophile,

[01:11:59] I'm not going to be like, no, he was.

[01:12:00] I'm like, well shit, I missed it.

[01:12:02] You know what I'm saying?

[01:12:04] Write in the comments.

[01:12:04] What do you think?

[01:12:06] Yeah.

[01:12:07] Yeah.

[01:12:07] Yeah.

[01:12:08] Because he definitely does turn his back on Anthony very quickly.

[01:12:11] Anthony, who sucks, by the way.

[01:12:13] I'm sorry.

[01:12:13] Again, if Anthony, if Anthony is dealing with trauma from being touched,

[01:12:16] that's a whole different thing.

[01:12:17] I don't want to put that on Anthony.

[01:12:18] But Anthony did pull that gun on Summer and Major and was like,

[01:12:21] I'm gonna kill you if you talk to my, my, my guy here.

[01:12:24] So I was like, Anthony, you can go.

[01:12:27] So, so I was not sad when Anthony died,

[01:12:29] but I was sad that it did look like for a second, you know, okay.

[01:12:33] Summer is going to have to get Major to make the big decision here

[01:12:37] because Mr. Crockett kind of like, hey,

[01:12:39] he can decide where he wants to be, you know.

[01:12:41] And Mr. Crockett gives him a knife and says, hey, do your thing.

[01:12:44] You know, you hate your mama.

[01:12:45] I'm right here.

[01:12:46] I'm good to you.

[01:12:47] And I think, and maybe I'm tripping,

[01:12:50] but she snaps him out of it by saying that she loves him, Mari.

[01:12:54] Yeah.

[01:12:57] And he, he, he, he snaps out of it,

[01:12:59] but also asking somebody to stab somebody.

[01:13:02] It might be just a step too far.

[01:13:04] Well, I thought the boy was in a trance, you know, I go, okay.

[01:13:06] Hey, to me,

[01:13:08] this is the cheapest part of the whole movie because we,

[01:13:11] she has never once, never once denied loving that kid.

[01:13:15] You know, even when she was like, I don't want to do this no more.

[01:13:17] She wasn't like, I hate you.

[01:13:19] Go away.

[01:13:20] I don't love you.

[01:13:21] She was just like, I quit.

[01:13:22] I can't, you know, like I'm done.

[01:13:23] But she never once, yeah,

[01:13:25] she never once showed love to this kid.

[01:13:27] So for the magic words to basically be like, oh no,

[01:13:30] now he sees his mom truly cares about him.

[01:13:32] That snapped him out of the trance.

[01:13:33] To me, that wasn't good enough for a, you know,

[01:13:36] a world where this kid was only drawn away from her because Mr.

[01:13:40] Crockett showed up, you know, it wasn't like she was abusive to him.

[01:13:43] Right.

[01:13:44] Yeah.

[01:13:44] And then that makes me wonder, like,

[01:13:46] what are the parameters for like,

[01:13:50] for the Mr.

[01:13:51] Crockett has for like taking away these kids?

[01:13:53] Because it's like, for one example,

[01:13:55] we see that one dad that was clearly neglecting his daughter that was on drugs.

[01:14:00] But then on the other instance,

[01:14:01] we see our main character who was really doing the best she can,

[01:14:05] but just had like this one moment of like missing snapping,

[01:14:09] which was juxtaposed against like probably weeks of this boy kind of being a terror

[01:14:14] for whatever.

[01:14:16] And so, yeah,

[01:14:17] that definitely made me think about that.

[01:14:20] But yeah.

[01:14:21] Yeah.

[01:14:22] Like she didn't even hit him when she snapped.

[01:14:24] Like,

[01:14:25] like these standards are not applied fairly all across the board.

[01:14:30] I'm feeling.

[01:14:31] Yeah.

[01:14:31] And Mr.

[01:14:32] Crockett gave Major the knife because,

[01:14:34] you know,

[01:14:34] that's how Mr.

[01:14:34] Crockett killed his dad.

[01:14:35] You know,

[01:14:36] that's the knife was his like weapon of choice.

[01:14:38] And so he's thinking,

[01:14:39] okay,

[01:14:39] like this,

[01:14:39] this will make things,

[01:14:41] this will make things okay.

[01:14:42] And,

[01:14:43] but it doesn't,

[01:14:44] you know,

[01:14:44] apparently Major snaps out of it,

[01:14:46] which I still don't understand really quite why that happened.

[01:14:49] Um,

[01:14:50] but,

[01:14:50] uh,

[01:14:50] he ends up giving,

[01:14:52] uh,

[01:14:52] Mr.

[01:14:52] Crockett's magic marker to his mom who uses it to slash Mr.

[01:14:56] Crockett and create a doorway back to their home and freeing all the

[01:14:59] children.

[01:15:00] And so you think it's over at that point,

[01:15:02] but no,

[01:15:04] there's more,

[01:15:06] Mr.

[01:15:07] Crockett.

[01:15:08] Apparently,

[01:15:08] I mean,

[01:15:09] we might be setting up for a sequel here,

[01:15:11] Mari.

[01:15:11] What are we doing?

[01:15:12] Mr.

[01:15:12] Crockett is dad now.

[01:15:14] I don't,

[01:15:15] I don't know.

[01:15:15] This was creepy,

[01:15:16] but I was like,

[01:15:17] okay,

[01:15:17] I'm not mad at it.

[01:15:18] So you're seeing a montage of summer and I just dropped something.

[01:15:24] I thought I was like,

[01:15:25] Oh my God,

[01:15:25] it's too late at night here.

[01:15:32] Ignore me.

[01:15:33] Um,

[01:15:33] yeah.

[01:15:34] So,

[01:15:34] um,

[01:15:35] so you're thinking like,

[01:15:36] Oh,

[01:15:37] okay.

[01:15:38] Then the montage,

[01:15:40] the end montage,

[01:15:41] they're playing football.

[01:15:41] It looks like everything's doing great.

[01:15:43] You're all good.

[01:15:44] And then,

[01:15:45] it's kind of the,

[01:15:47] um,

[01:15:48] is this an homage to the omen?

[01:15:50] Maybe.

[01:15:51] Okay.

[01:15:51] I think so.

[01:15:52] Um,

[01:15:53] yeah.

[01:15:53] Where it's like the teacher is talking to,

[01:15:56] um,

[01:15:57] summer and she's like,

[01:15:59] well,

[01:15:59] you know,

[01:15:59] he's not doing too well in school.

[01:16:02] He's a danger to the staff.

[01:16:05] He has authority issues.

[01:16:07] Everybody's mad at the new guy you're dating.

[01:16:09] Why did y'all just assume she's dating somebody?

[01:16:11] Like,

[01:16:11] I,

[01:16:11] I don't know,

[01:16:12] but I get it.

[01:16:12] I guess it's like the whole mom,

[01:16:14] dad thing.

[01:16:14] He's drawing these pictures,

[01:16:16] but like,

[01:16:16] it's juxtaposed with the teacher talking to summer about,

[01:16:21] um,

[01:16:21] uh,

[01:16:22] about majors,

[01:16:23] uh,

[01:16:23] behavioral issues at school to him,

[01:16:26] um,

[01:16:26] creepily drawing a picture with himself,

[01:16:29] her and Mr.

[01:16:30] Crockett labeled as dad.

[01:16:32] And then at the end we see he still has the magic marker.

[01:16:37] Um,

[01:16:39] and you know,

[01:16:40] again,

[01:16:40] this is what,

[01:16:41] this is where you are.

[01:16:42] Chappelle,

[01:16:43] it really is coming off like,

[01:16:44] Oh,

[01:16:44] major is the problem.

[01:16:46] He's the problem.

[01:16:47] He's the problem.

[01:16:48] We go through all of this K and then the teacher says,

[01:16:51] you know,

[01:16:51] major kind of violent,

[01:16:52] right?

[01:16:53] I'm like,

[01:16:53] again,

[01:16:55] right.

[01:16:56] You know,

[01:16:58] which brings me back to the point where at the very beginning of the movie,

[01:17:02] when that nosy auntie was like,

[01:17:03] uh,

[01:17:04] you need to get that boy.

[01:17:06] I'm like,

[01:17:07] huh?

[01:17:07] Maybe he was like,

[01:17:08] you know,

[01:17:08] kind of a problem before.

[01:17:10] Maybe he just has,

[01:17:11] you know,

[01:17:11] his own behavioral problems.

[01:17:14] Yeah.

[01:17:14] And it looks like they ain't going nowhere.

[01:17:16] She needs to pay for him to be in football.

[01:17:19] He needs to run a few laps.

[01:17:20] Run it out.

[01:17:21] And by football,

[01:17:22] I mean,

[01:17:22] bootcamp.

[01:17:24] What's that mean?

[01:17:24] And by bootcamp,

[01:17:25] we mean therapy.

[01:17:29] Look,

[01:17:29] you can do all of those things.

[01:17:31] Okay.

[01:17:32] Okay.

[01:17:33] You can do all those things.

[01:17:34] You know,

[01:17:35] Hey,

[01:17:35] am I tripping?

[01:17:36] But was it the ring where they had another little kid scribbling all the time

[01:17:39] where he was like drawing like his dead cousin or something like that?

[01:17:42] Look,

[01:17:43] look,

[01:17:43] it's drawing.

[01:17:44] It's also a scary trope,

[01:17:46] right?

[01:17:46] Oh yeah.

[01:17:48] That's a classic.

[01:17:50] Cause I can think of it.

[01:17:51] I know the ring was one of them for sure.

[01:17:53] I think the orphan is another one where the kid is drawing.

[01:17:56] I'm pretty sure the kid drew like the pictures of like the insidious demon

[01:18:00] on the wall and,

[01:18:01] um,

[01:18:01] insidious.

[01:18:03] No,

[01:18:04] It was sinister.

[01:18:05] Oh,

[01:18:05] okay.

[01:18:06] I'm trying.

[01:18:06] I immediately,

[01:18:07] you know,

[01:18:08] I immediately thought of sinister when this first came on.

[01:18:11] Um,

[01:18:12] sinister had this same,

[01:18:14] similar kind of plot line.

[01:18:15] Like kids are being possessed by like a,

[01:18:20] a movie that they're watched to kill their,

[01:18:22] their families.

[01:18:23] Like literally the exact same plot line almost actually.

[01:18:28] Just sinister was like,

[01:18:29] actually it was scary.

[01:18:31] Yeah.

[01:18:32] And I think the little boy in the,

[01:18:33] the,

[01:18:33] the deliverance,

[01:18:34] he might've been possessed,

[01:18:35] but he was also kind of bad too.

[01:18:37] I don't know.

[01:18:38] This trope is kind of a,

[01:18:39] we're doing this trope a lot lately.

[01:18:40] I think it's something that's tried and true.

[01:18:43] It's easy to make little kids scary.

[01:18:45] They're,

[01:18:45] they're scary.

[01:18:46] These little humans are scary.

[01:18:48] Trust me.

[01:18:50] Yeah.

[01:18:51] Children of the corn.

[01:18:53] Yeah.

[01:18:53] Children of the corn.

[01:18:54] Yeah.

[01:18:54] We could do that.

[01:18:55] Why haven't we had a,

[01:18:56] had a children of a corn remake in a long time?

[01:18:59] Like that's one that they really need to remake.

[01:19:03] None of my business.

[01:19:04] I've never seen it.

[01:19:04] I was just thinking about that the other day.

[01:19:06] It's about these little blonde hair,

[01:19:07] blue eyed,

[01:19:08] uh,

[01:19:09] white kid.

[01:19:09] None of my business.

[01:19:10] That terrorizes time.

[01:19:11] A town.

[01:19:11] It's good.

[01:19:12] Then they make like four or five of those movies.

[01:19:14] They did.

[01:19:15] They did.

[01:19:16] They made like four or five of them,

[01:19:17] like in the like late eighties,

[01:19:20] early nineties or mid nineties or something like that.

[01:19:22] But they haven't touched it in like over 20 years,

[01:19:24] which is.

[01:19:25] I'm like,

[01:19:26] what are the rights tied up somewhere?

[01:19:28] Like,

[01:19:28] why haven't they made a children of the corn remake?

[01:19:31] Maybe.

[01:19:33] Maybe it's white supremacy.

[01:19:35] Maybe.

[01:19:37] Yeah.

[01:19:37] Yeah.

[01:19:40] But,

[01:19:40] but that wraps up our recap of Mr.

[01:19:43] Crockett.

[01:19:43] Kay,

[01:19:43] what did you think about the movie overall?

[01:19:45] Now we talked it through.

[01:19:46] How do you feel?

[01:19:47] Would you recommend this to people?

[01:19:49] I would recommend this movie,

[01:19:51] but I'd recommend this with an asterisk.

[01:19:54] I'd recommend it,

[01:19:55] but I'd still give it a five out of 10.

[01:19:58] At the end of the day,

[01:19:59] I thought the acting was really good.

[01:20:01] Shout out,

[01:20:02] especially to the actor that played Mr.

[01:20:04] Crockett.

[01:20:05] I thought his creepy smiles were pretty effective.

[01:20:09] It's just the storyline itself.

[01:20:11] And the plot wasn't the most original thing out there.

[01:20:14] This movie was really easy to clock from the jump.

[01:20:17] It was pretty obvious that Mr.

[01:20:18] Crockett had been through his own traumas in childhood.

[01:20:21] And that's why he was doing all this.

[01:20:23] The plot twist with Anthony was really easy to clock too.

[01:20:26] So a lot of the stuff in there was pretty predictable,

[01:20:28] but overall I would give this movie points for the acting and the prop

[01:20:34] design and the set design,

[01:20:36] especially.

[01:20:37] Hey,

[01:20:37] yeah,

[01:20:38] it was good.

[01:20:38] Visually appealing.

[01:20:39] Like I said,

[01:20:40] I think Pee Wee's Playhouse every time I think about it,

[01:20:41] because it was just like,

[01:20:42] uh,

[01:20:43] you know,

[01:20:43] you got two different worlds,

[01:20:44] you got 94 and then you got Crockett land,

[01:20:46] right?

[01:20:47] And it's demonic,

[01:20:48] but it's also kind of cartoonish.

[01:20:49] And although it's not the most original take on anything we've seen,

[01:20:53] I liked it.

[01:20:54] It didn't piss me off.

[01:20:55] So,

[01:20:55] uh,

[01:20:55] you know,

[01:20:56] I,

[01:20:56] I'd probably recommend it to people as well,

[01:20:58] but not if you like if for people who don't really like scary movies,

[01:21:01] I'd say,

[01:21:01] this is probably,

[01:21:02] you know,

[01:21:02] something that's palatable,

[01:21:04] you know,

[01:21:04] nothing that's going to have you,

[01:21:05] you know,

[01:21:06] I don't think anybody will lose any sleep over this Mari.

[01:21:09] Yeah.

[01:21:10] You're not going to be scared.

[01:21:12] Like I,

[01:21:14] I tried not to get Regina to watch this.

[01:21:19] No.

[01:21:20] She don't like this.

[01:21:21] Gina's not going to like this one.

[01:21:23] She don't like it.

[01:21:24] I,

[01:21:25] I tried not to watch it around JJ,

[01:21:28] but I had to.

[01:21:29] And I kept telling her,

[01:21:30] I was like,

[01:21:31] turn around.

[01:21:31] And he's like,

[01:21:31] Oh,

[01:21:33] it just kept peeking.

[01:21:34] I'm like,

[01:21:34] okay,

[01:21:35] if you have bad dreams,

[01:21:36] it's your fault.

[01:21:37] But no,

[01:21:38] it's,

[01:21:38] it's,

[01:21:39] it's a easy watch.

[01:21:40] It's not scary at all.

[01:21:41] I really liked it for what it's worth.

[01:21:44] Like.

[01:21:46] If you watch it with somebody,

[01:21:48] like it's really,

[01:21:48] it's fun,

[01:21:49] like date night,

[01:21:49] Netflix and chill or whatever type,

[01:21:51] type thing.

[01:21:53] And it's,

[01:21:53] it's fun if you're,

[01:21:54] if you're like a horror person who,

[01:21:56] who likes to watch,

[01:21:58] like shout out to all my people who are on day 22 of watching a scary movie

[01:22:03] every day type thing.

[01:22:03] You know,

[01:22:04] it's,

[01:22:04] it's one of the ones like it is fun.

[01:22:06] It could slot right in there anywhere.

[01:22:08] But if you want something that's kind of along the same lines as this,

[01:22:14] like playing with time,

[01:22:16] talking about trauma,

[01:22:17] but actually being scary.

[01:22:21] Them on prime is really,

[01:22:25] really good.

[01:22:25] I've,

[01:22:25] I've,

[01:22:26] I've recommended it here at least eight times.

[01:22:31] We said we were going to,

[01:22:32] I watched it.

[01:22:33] Spell has not.

[01:22:35] I watched,

[01:22:36] uh,

[01:22:36] I watched it this summer waiting on you to come back.

[01:22:39] Uh,

[01:22:39] I watched the,

[01:22:40] what was it?

[01:22:40] It's several seasons,

[01:22:41] right?

[01:22:41] Cause I watched the first season.

[01:22:43] Um,

[01:22:43] why did you watch the first season?

[01:22:45] Well,

[01:22:45] we just talked about the second season.

[01:22:47] I told you to watch the second season.

[01:22:49] It's an anthology.

[01:22:50] Them is an anthology series.

[01:22:53] And the first season I did not watch because it felt like it was trying to be

[01:22:59] like,

[01:22:59] um,

[01:23:00] I get,

[01:23:01] get,

[01:23:01] get,

[01:23:02] get out.

[01:23:03] Oh,

[01:23:04] yeah.

[01:23:04] Them the scare,

[01:23:05] right?

[01:23:05] With Luke James.

[01:23:06] I watched,

[01:23:06] yeah,

[01:23:06] I watched the second season.

[01:23:07] I watched.

[01:23:08] Oh,

[01:23:08] so we watched all of it.

[01:23:09] Oh yeah.

[01:23:09] We just didn't talk about it.

[01:23:10] Yeah.

[01:23:11] We didn't talk about it because it was like,

[01:23:12] well,

[01:23:13] cause I was like,

[01:23:13] are we going to talk about this?

[01:23:14] And you were like,

[01:23:14] no.

[01:23:15] And I was like,

[01:23:15] all right,

[01:23:15] cool.

[01:23:15] you know,

[01:23:16] no,

[01:23:17] I said,

[01:23:17] Dragon has started.

[01:23:20] We had other things to do.

[01:23:21] We did.

[01:23:23] Um,

[01:23:24] so then the scare is actually very,

[01:23:27] very good.

[01:23:28] Very scary.

[01:23:29] Have you seen that?

[01:23:30] Kay?

[01:23:30] I have.

[01:23:31] I've seen the second season.

[01:23:32] I haven't seen the first season.

[01:23:34] Did you like it?

[01:23:36] Yes.

[01:23:36] Loved it.

[01:23:37] Luke James killed it.

[01:23:39] He killed it.

[01:23:40] like,

[01:23:41] honestly,

[01:23:41] if you're looking for something scarier,

[01:23:44] it is.

[01:23:45] How many episodes were there?

[01:23:46] Like six,

[01:23:47] eight or six.

[01:23:47] It wasn't a lot.

[01:23:48] I think it was eight.

[01:23:50] Eight.

[01:23:50] Okay.

[01:23:50] Yeah.

[01:23:51] Yeah.

[01:23:51] That was good.

[01:23:53] That was good.

[01:23:54] So yeah,

[01:23:55] go,

[01:23:55] go check that out.

[01:23:57] Um,

[01:23:57] and there was apparently a children of the corn remake in 2020.

[01:24:01] Who do?

[01:24:03] You know,

[01:24:04] COVID didn't happen.

[01:24:05] It happened.

[01:24:05] And then nothing else happened around COVID,

[01:24:07] you know,

[01:24:07] like that was the big thing.

[01:24:08] And I,

[01:24:08] everything else was just a blur.

[01:24:10] Yeah.

[01:24:11] It didn't.

[01:24:12] It's because it didn't get a theatrical release.

[01:24:14] That's why.

[01:24:15] It basically went straight to shutter.

[01:24:17] It's a dark time in the movie,

[01:24:19] in the movie industry.

[01:24:20] You know,

[01:24:20] we,

[01:24:20] we almost didn't come back from it,

[01:24:22] but,

[01:24:22] uh,

[01:24:23] we had a good time talking about this movie and we had a good time with,

[01:26:48] We,

[01:26:48] we actually got a wedding in the first episode.

[01:26:50] We feel like that hadn't happened in,

[01:26:51] in years.

[01:26:53] It feels like lifetime already teased a couple swap and a cheating

[01:26:57] sketch,

[01:26:58] uh,

[01:26:58] scandal this season on married at first sight.

[01:27:01] So we'll,
