the dead zone and fuck.
John AmentaGUEST
There's one more.
DaphneHOST
like a little Easter egg.
DaphneHOST
It was in Ouija, Origin of Evil, Gerald's Game, The Haunting of Hill House, and in the Overlook Hotel in Doctor Sleep.
PaikHOST
Nice.
DaphneHOST
Yeah.
18 MINS LATER
PaikHOST
Of course, at the end of the movie when we flashback to the police officers that are arresting.
PaikHOST
Officers 1 and 2.
PaikHOST
Brett Murray, Officer 1, Life of Chuck, and Gerald's Game.
PaikHOST
He did the sound department for those movies, not an actor.
Andrés VargasHOST
Bueno, donde estuvo un rato, pero ya fue una capitalización grande después de aventarse Oculus y Absentia.
Andrés VargasHOST
En 2016 se aventó estas cuatro películas que ya dijeron Hush, Before I Wake, Ouija 2 y Gerald's Game, todas con Netflix.
Andrés VargasHOST
Y siento que desde Hush, con esta premisa del-de la autora sorda y, y, y el ser enmascarado que la está persiguiendo, no sé si de ahí ya tenía pactado algo con Stephen King, pero si yo fuera Stephen King y hubiera visto esa película, hubiera pedido trabajar con ese director.
Uriel ReyesHOST
Mmm.
MarcieHOST
And he has a whole library filled of just, like, these little homemade movies that people have made of his properties and stuff.
DirkHOST
Well, we're gonna talk about other stuff before we talk about our movie, but yeah, Mike Flanagan did that, you know, the director of the movie that we're gonna talk about, for, for Gerald's Game.
MarcieHOST
Oh, really? Okay.
DirkHOST
Yeah.
MarcieHOST
Okay.
MarcieHOST
See, like, see this i- so makes me so happy 'cause I didn't know that.
MarcieHOST
I didn't know about Gerald's Game and Mike Flanagan only paying a dollar.
MarcieHOST
But the fact that he told a true story, and he really just only charges a dollar- Like, there are some good people still left in the world.
Scott AukermanHOST
You've
Paul F. TompkinsHOST
heard of Gerald's Game? This is Paul's trick.
Paul F. TompkinsHOST
I
Scott AukermanHOST
love Gerald's Game.
Scott AukermanHOST
I've never heard of it.
Paul F. TompkinsHOST
Gerald's Game was great.
Paul F. TompkinsHOST
I've never heard of Gerald's Game.
Paul F. TompkinsHOST
You've never
JohnHOST
But movie-wise, I've seen just about all of those.
JohnHOST
Matter of fact, on this run of six, you had picked four that I've seen and two that I have not, and tonight's episode, Gerald's Game, is one of the two I had not seen.
JohnHOST
The other one will be [laughs] uh, the one that I think a lot of people haven't seen, the killer laundry press.
JohnHOST
Uh, The Banger.
JohnHOST
So let's get into it.
JohnHOST
Let's start Stephen King September off strong.
JohnHOST
Let's talk about Gerald's Game.
LloydHOST
Before we get started, does anyone wanna get out?
speaker_3HOST
Who completely cracked this wide open by turning thoughts into physical combatants.
speaker_4HOST
We're talking about Flanagan's 2017 adaptation of Gerald's Game.
speaker_4HOST
And if Misery was hard to adapt, Gerald's Game was widely considered completely unfilmable.
speaker_3HOST
The premise is just suffocating.
speaker_3HOST
So Jesse, played by Carla Gugino, and her husband Gerald, played by Bruce Greenwood, they go to this remote cabin to spouse up their marriage.
speaker_3HOST
But we have to talk about the ending.
speaker_4HOST
Ah, the controversial ending.
speaker_3HOST
Because faithfulness in Gerald's game extends to its most fiercely debated element.
RyanHOST
But still, so wait, Flanagan did that, you said? He also
JP CrossHOST
did Gerald's Game.
JP CrossHOST
He's done a lot of those.
RyanHOST
Well, Gerald's Game is a little bit like, it's good for what it is, but I didn't, that was not a big takeaway
JP CrossHOST
for me.
JP CrossHOST
I was a massive fan of Gerald's Game, the book.
JP CrossHOST
But even when I'm reading the book, it was one of my favorite Stephen King books, but even reading the book, I was like, oh, I'd love to see this as a film.
JP CrossHOST
But then the more and more I thought about it, even years before he did the film, I was like, It'd be such a hard film to do.
JP CrossHOST
He's done a lot of those.
RyanHOST
Well, Gerald's Game is a little bit like, it's good for what it is, but I didn't, that was not a big takeaway for me.
JP CrossHOST
I was a massive fan of Gerald's Game, the book.
Ify TiffyHOST
A book,
JP CrossHOST
yes.
Paul WallerHOST
I think having Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson in the cast doesn't hurt it either.
Paul WallerHOST
Gerald's Game is next.
Paul WallerHOST
Stephen King adaptation, a lot of them this year.
Paul WallerHOST
This one proved that you can make a movie out of the unfilmable.
