Chapter 1: What makes 'Bring Her Back' a significant follow-up to 'Talk To Me'?
That's what I'd say.
Maybe a quarter, maybe a quarter. But yeah, I love that because my biggest pet peeve with horror movies is when they over-explain shit. And you guys really leave it up to us to figure out. And it's scarier that way because my imagination runs wild. I'm sure you know the answers, but I honestly don't want to know the fucking answer.
Yeah. It's sort of like the theorizing or when you come across like a piece of lost media or you look at those old school footage and you're like, you don't have the context and you're like, what the fuck is this thing? This is terrifying. This weird clip or this execution video, fake, but whatever it is. And it's like, where are they? What language are they speaking right now?
Like what is happening? Like that stuff just makes for really horrific art.
I think that you guys are also bringing up, which is the hour, you know, probably closer to a younger generation, but also with my generation of the discovery. Like our parents had finding weird shit in the woods. Yeah. We had finding weird shit on the Internet. Yeah. And we saw a thing, but in the street, but like we saw mysterious things on the internet and we, that was what inspired us.
And I think what Talk To Me and Bring Her Back are doing is understanding there's the same amount of mystery in the modern world as there was in the old world. And I feel like that's what you're bringing back. In fact, I feel like there's more mystery in the modern world.
Yeah, because it's more, in a way it's more accessible now. the mystery. It's more accessible now.
You'd think it would be, but it's still things you can't scratch. It's still like, what did I just see? Is that real? Is that fake?
That's even scarier because you can't differentiate that line now and you're lost between those things and you're like, people can fake this stuff, but also it's real enough that that real stuff also does happen, so it's terrifying.

Chapter 2: How do Danny and Michael approach horror filmmaking?
That's an actual place in Thailand. Yeah, so I was going to these places, and I was speaking to these trainers that apparently he'd been with, and they're like, no, he's over here now. So I was traveling around. It was awesome. It was so much fun. Did you find him? Yeah, I found him. Well, he's so tall, it's probably easy. He's shorter in real life. He's shorter than me. He's short.
He's shorter than me in real life. How about Blanca?
How was he in real life?
Exactly the same.
You know what they say, never meet your heroes. Exactly. Exactly as I wanted him to be.
It was hard to turn down Street Fighter. It was hard to walk away. It was hard. It was just a... What are you, singing? I don't know what that was. It's blues.
Yeah, thank you. It's you're in America.
I'm in America, so I started singing. It was just scheduling. It was between Bring Her Back and Street Fighter. We love Street Fighter. Bring Her Back, it's more personal. It felt more right. I don't know. You were correct. Well, luckily Street Fighter... I didn't see our Street Fighter movie though.
But you know what though?
