It's never a bad thing for an indie horror to be ambitious, and Buddy is as bonkers and delightful as it is uneven. In this episode, we're trying to figure out why the conceit of this movie was so…
Okay, okay, okay.
We are working through something in this episode, all right? This one, this is not an easy, clear direction we have for this episode.
So we saw this indie horror movie, Buddy, that is tearing up the charts and it's doing extraordinarily well for itself, which we always love to see.
Really
exciting.
And
I think that the bottom line is, I'm glad I saw this.
I thought it was super interesting.
It was novel.
It did things I have not seen and I have wanted to see in other horror movies.
But I also struggled with it.
And I want to work through that struggle.
I think you and I had the same kind of process here.
Yes.
Yes, I agree.
Really enjoyed it.
And I have a lot to say about why I liked it.
But also, yeah, there was something that just I'm not quite sure.
There's a dilemma.
There's a core dilemma.
So we're going to get to that, the kind of problem that we had with this thing.
But first, I want to talk about the movie itself in more particular terms, because I think it's a story of thirds.
I think this movie kind of makes sense in three parts.
And that's maybe where the issue will present itself.
So let's go through this.
Okay, okay, okay.
