JenHOST
And it was going to become a slasher film by the end of the movie.
Josh PrayGUEST
So you were really going with, you were thinking more The Crush or Swimfan, Hand That Rocks The Cradle, where one of the women is just a psycho.
JenHOST
Yeah, that's basically what I was going for.
Josh PrayGUEST
No, this was more, I want to say housemaid, man.
SamanthaHOST
Either it's the ice pick or an icicle.
SamanthaHOST
And then The Crush, which is a movie about a teenage crush going wrong with Alicia Silverstone and Carrie Elwes.
SamanthaHOST
Someone had actually written a whole article about it and how much they loved her character just because they were talking about how, as a 14-year-old, how much do you have to love and how much confidence do you have in yourself that you would just go after people like that? And I was like, Okay.
SamanthaHOST
Okay.
Sonia MaruGUEST
No, I don't think so.
Sonia MaruGUEST
I think she was in a movie called The Crush before this.
Sonia MaruGUEST
And maybe something else.
Sonia MaruGUEST
But no, I mean, this was definitely...
RoulaHOST
Well, think about Alicia Silverstone, talking about the '90s.
RoulaHOST
The Crush.
EricHOST
Hell yeah.
RoulaHOST
The Crush.
KevinHOST
Wow.
RoulaHOST
She's playing a 14-year-old girl-
SammieHOST
And as I said, I was very thankful Jen included the year.
SammieHOST
So I did not have to text her and be like, What are we watching? Like, what is this? Yeah, what? And I was expecting, like, Rachel, you said, like, The Crush.
SammieHOST
That was exactly what I was expecting.
SammieHOST
But I was so glad when it ended up being, like, more like Tina from Bob's Burgers, you know? Like, she's this sweet...
SammieHOST
girl that's just like wants to touch a boy bet yeah but like she's like may from turning red she's just obsessed with boys and that's super normal and it's not like she's this like succubus come to ruin this man's life like the crushes you know i think um those types of movies are titillating because it makes it look like the like the women are to be blamed that.
SammieHOST
So I liked not having that in this.
SammieHOST
And I was totally kind of taken aback that it wasn't that type of plot, which I was really happy about once I saw how young she looked too, because that makes it that much weirder.
BethHOST
That is such a throwback.
MichelleHOST
Now, I remember, like, back to Alicia Silverstone as Cher, the first time I ever saw her was obviously The Crush.
BethHOST
Oh, yeah,
MichelleHOST
yeah.
MichelleHOST
So we would spend, like, all day at the $2 movie theater, and that's when we saw Crush.
BethHOST
Oh, okay.
BethHOST
Or The Crush.
BethHOST
Yeah, The Crush.
BrevHOST
were up to.
BrevHOST
The Crush came around here.
BrevHOST
That was her breakout.
BrevHOST
The Crush, thank you.
BrevHOST
The
ScottHOST
Crush was the first gig she got, I think, because of these videos.
BrevHOST
Maybe, yeah.
BrevHOST
It was all around the same time, so yeah.
StormyHOST
Right.
StormyHOST
But as far as like horror, I watched The Crush, which has Alicia.
StormyHOST
It's Alicia Silverstone's like debut performance.
StormyHOST
Weird that they put her in a very sexually charged like role, like right out of right off the jump.
StormyHOST
Honestly, with single white female being my first like stalker-esque watch makes a lot of sense for me as a person.
StormyHOST
I don't know if my dad knew what he was doing long term.
StormyHOST
But yeah, would recommend The Crush.
StormyHOST
Yeah, my dad was like, here, have this.
MelissaHOST
scary yeah the whole yeah that
LizaHOST
movie was very scary and the last one i'm gonna say this was very scary and i think maybe it was scary to me it came out in 93 in 93 and it was a movie called the crush do you remember this movie have you heard of it it had sounds familiar alicia silverstone and carrie elwes and the thing is she was 14 years old with a crush on this journalist carrie elwes and you might think that's inappropriate but he was not inappropriate with her in his relationship there's not a lolita situation going on he doesn't he's like you're a child and she is overly obsessed with this man and she's people described it as fatal attraction
MelissaHOST
with a 14 year old oh okay
LizaHOST
and it is that is what it is and so i guess it's also in this thriller but it is scary and especially when i was 14 i was the same age i'm like oh i was the same age as her in this movie and it
