The Loved Ones

I hope you guys are enjoying Slasher Month.

We finish up A Nightmare on Elm Street next week, which that's been a blast to do, and I had so much fun revisiting the movie that we're talking about today, which is called The Loved Ones.

And I've seen this movie a few times, but every time I watch it, I get shocked by the graphicness of it.

Like, I forget how fucking violent it is, honestly.

It, it's, it's kind of fucked up.

So with that being said, let's just get into it.

We're talking about The Loved Ones today, which came out in 2009, and it's an Au- it's an Australian horror film.

And it's an hour and 24 minutes, quick watch, and it has a 6.6 on IMDb and a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, which both scores, to me, are very damn good for a horror movie, and I think this movie deserves it.

...

The Loved Ones, there's Talk to Me, which I know Talk to Me was popular, but I don't think it's, uh, gotten as much attention as I would hope.

There's also, uh, Bring Her Back, which is made by the same people, the Philippou brothers.

Yeah, yeah.

I appreciate you guys so much, and I love you all to death, and I will keep doing this forever and ever.

On Friday, we are going to be talking about The Loved Ones, which I find to be a super underrated movie that I love so, so, so much.

And then next Wednesday, we are going to wrap up our discussion on A Nightmare on Elm Street by talking about the final two.

So that is the lineup for the next week.

I've got a film to watch for our next full episode at time of recording.

I'm about to sit down and watch The Loved Ones while I try and bake an apple cake.

That's a real juxtaposition of activities that I'm going to be doing.

But yeah, so lovely to finally catch up and meet you in person.

It's great.

But our lineup for next week, we are going to be covering the next three movies in The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise on Wednesday, and then next Friday, we are going to be talking about The Loved Ones, who has one of my favorite underrated villains, whose name is Lola.

So we'll talk about Lola on Friday.

If you guys liked today's episode and you haven't yet given me a five-star rating on Spotify, Apple, wherever you're listening to me, it'd be super helpful to help push me out into the algorithm and find other people to join our lovely little community we have here.

You didn't understand the question when we did the Thanksgiving survival guide.

Probably like The Loved Ones comes to mind.

Okay.

Like it's not a super known movie.

It's, uh, it, it, it's, it's, uh, it's extreme.

Yeah, I, I think The Loved Ones is, isn't a bad answer.

That's pretty fair.

A crazy film, too.

But there's one thing that we've all seen, all of us, which is the film of the week, and that is...

The Loved Ones, and that is a 2009 Australian horror film written and directed by Sean Byrne in his featured directorial debut.

Easy for you to say.

Easy for me to say.

that one

okay no no

i've heard a lot of good things about that and i always see people it popping up on people's like um october lists and stuff so i mean let's just talk about your relationship with this film then abby the loved ones what why you love it or hate it you love it

oh why yeah why do i love this but i don't like i so i i grew up in australia um I feel like this is one of the first yeah so I grew up in Australia and this is one of the worst one of the worst one of the first horror films I've actually seen um so it just kind of stuck in my brain a bit like um like a bug um but it's just so brutal that I've just not really been able to forget it and I feel like it's uh not on the radar for a lot of people which is I think sad.

Can you believe it? Spooky season already.

And we're talking about, this is brand new information, The Loved Ones with special guest Abby Lee.

Looking forward to that.

Wonderful.
