This week on *Movie Chats*, Ant & Ry review Companion (2025), the sci-fi horror thriller starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid. The less you know about Companion going in, the better. Is it a…
yeah before i go into the synopsis it's got a very terminator 2 type vibe to it because terminator 2 you knew going into the movie that if you haven't seen terminator 2 by now what's wrong with you You knew that going into Terminator 2 that Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to be the good guy this time, but they set it up for that first 15 or 20 minutes of that film where you don't...
If you don't know, he could actually be there to kill John Connor again, but it's not until he kind of...
They're in that corridor scene where he tells him to get down...
And he saves Sean Conner.
Then you go, oh, he's a good guy.
Much like what happened here for the first 20 minutes or so.
If you don't know, you're kind of having this kind of weird kind of vibes going on.
You're just like, everyone's being a little bit rude.
They're a bit passive aggressive.
What did Iris do? And then you discover, spoiler, again, if you haven't turned off by now, this is your fault.
Iris is a robot.
That's why people kind of don't like her very much because they don't really agree with the companion robot kind of thing.
Yeah.
What I love, the fact it happens at the first 25 minutes.
In fact, I was blown away by the fact that she didn't know she was a
robot.
I love that.
Yeah, it's kind of good.
You know what? Watching it for a second time, I noticed a few things.
For example, when they arrive at the house, she's the one carrying two massive luggages, and it just has a small bag.
Oh, I didn't notice that.
Yeah, I didn't notice that on first watch, but when I watched it, again, with in mind having, oh, well, I know everything is going to happen, and I know what this is about, you notice little things like that, which...
It's very clever.
Yeah.
