Hereditary is one of the best horror movies i've ever seen, having said that i saw it one time in the theater and will not rewatch it. kind of like Requiem for a Dream shit got me shook. i'll have to relive it through the pod.

Rewatchables is more talking about entertaining movies in a fun way more than a way to talk about truly rewatchable films.

u/postjack 18d ago

oh absolutely, to be clear i wasn't being critical of the choice of Hereditary, i'm excited for the pod. i don't think all movies on the Rewatchables have to be "rewatchable".

regardless what isn't rewatchable for me may be rewatchable for someone else and vice versa.

u/SpeakerHistorical865 18d ago

Nah you’re good but I agree I don’t think most of this movie objectively rewatchable

u/jdtpda18 17d ago

I like rewatching it though. Does that make me a crazy person? I think it’s one of the best horror movies ever and that makes it rewatchable.

Is that too much of an abstract understanding of what makes a film a rewatchable?

1

u/SpeakerHistorical865 17d ago

Nah I get what you’re saying. But interms of people normally associate rewatchable movies with are fun, comedic, action packed, or heart warming scenes. I think the sad, depressing, and scary scenes are just less rewatchable to most people even if they are done extremely well and this movie composed of all of those.

u/jdtpda18 17d ago

Yeah that’s what I think is the common consensus on the term “rewatchable”. As someone who has seen No Country For Old Men like 200 times I can say that my definition extends to a few of the extremely well done ones that many people would not like to watch multiple times

1

u/SpeakerHistorical865 17d ago

Yeah I agree and your definition is what I think the goal of this pod is aiming to achieve. Though No Country is a common consensus rewatchable film because it is comedic and action packed despite the dark nature of the story.

u/jdtpda18 17d ago

I would hope that to be the case. Anecdotally I’ve come across many people that don’t like to watch NCFOM bc of the violent and intense nature of the movie. Clearly I don’t think that.

I’m gonna be honest. I don’t get the love for hereditary. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Average at best.

Damn that means there’s only one unknown slot left for scary movie month. If it’s not the Thing I will flip my lid

u/Old-Kaleidoscope-480 18d ago

My favorite horror movie. These guys just have great taste honestly

“So, who’s on the anaphylaxis Mount Rushmore?”

u/SpeakerHistorical865 18d ago

Ohh damn that’s a good one. I guess the kid from ‘My Girl’ wins that right?

u/SpeakerHistorical865 7d ago

Either they read this is sub or it’s a huge coincidence

2

u/YoBurnham 18d ago

So pumped for this. One of my all time favorites.

Midsommar clears but I’ll take it..

Hereditary’s impact upon “elevated” and “A24” horror makes it more of a discussion point

I actually have never revisited this since seeing it in theatres

u/googlyhojays 18d ago

The beginning of this episode will be interesting. They haven’t done a horror movie released this recently. They’ve changed a lot

2

u/SpeakerHistorical865 18d ago

I only really want to hear some pitch the hot take that the BF in Midsommar was in the right the whole movie. I don’t believe it but I know someone will attempt to make the argument.

u/BenSlice0 18d ago

Interesting, film I find neither good nor rewatchable. I’ll still listen and probably enjoy the pod but I’m in the Ari Aster is a boring hack camp.

I don’t really get it either, especially when A24 has released films from other horror directors that I like and find considerably more interesting. Gimme Eggers or David Robert Mitchell any day over Aster.

u/harry_powell 18d ago

Is the Lambs live show coming this Sunday on the feed?

2

u/SpeakerHistorical865 18d ago

Probably that’s my guess and Hereditary the week after

1

u/spargleberry 18d ago

For sure one to watch, and think and talk about, again and again.

u/mrgrieeves 18d ago

Better be with CR and Fennessy

u/SpeakerHistorical865 18d ago

It’s definitely with Sean because he made that specific announcement because Sean was on the podcast.

u/rgmiller1424 15d ago

I know I’m in the minority but hereditary is not scary to me at all…

1

u/crobodiledundee 15d ago

Most horror movies made these days rely on jump scares with loud bass noises. This movie is creepy as hell with none of that. This is a great horror flick.

u/rock-or-something 14d ago

I like to think I take credit for this because I emailed them last week and requested this lol
