It is time yet again for evil to die tonight! The online movie discussion world has turned into the angry town mob of Haddonfield with their pitchforks and irons in hand to take aim at Halloween Ends, the third and final film in the David Gordon Green trilogy of Michael Myers movies. Grab your candy corn and Activia and listen to Mike and Jay make you angry for 45 minutes!!!!

I don't think I've ever lost more respect for two human beings in my life. I'm not just throwing that out as an idle internet comment. I actually talked this over for a friend and really thought about it and yeah… this is the most precipitous drop in respect I've ever experienced.
At this point I wish I could just subscribe to Best of the Worst because there's no way I can take their movie reviews seriously again.
They recreated the wtf last 10 minutes of the movie by adding the plinkett video here for no reason
I’d love for Mr. Plinkett do a review of Halloween 3.
Yeah! Who goes to see a Halloween movie for Michael Myers?!
Oh no Mike and Jay have finally completely lost it! DAMN YOU GLENVIZAAAAAAAA!
Just finished it. Shit Sandwich
I really liked the first movie where the doctor wears his mask and then starts being insane, this would make for a great myth that there is something else than the person, but then they discarted it like it was nothing… so sad… btw, having the protagonist bullied his whole life and then goes killing every bully out there sends a pretty nasty message to society, so I don't think they would've allowed him to live and become the new michael myers…
I’m still waiting for Dexter Jettster’s prequel and quick follow up review from Plinkett. He’ll be around 127 by then, he’s got some time, that’s considered young these days..
I like the ideas in this film, but it was so clunky and disjointed (I’m mostly saying this in relation to the past two) that it didn’t work for me. I was laughing, but it felt like it was at the movie. I agree with Mike in that I think it would’ve worked if they had actually tried to implement these themes and characters into all of them instead of into whatever this finale was supposed to be. I kind of hate it right now, but whatever lol
Movie is fucking trash.
If you don't think they could have come up with something fresh to do with Laurie and Michael, without some out of no where character taking up the whole movie, then you lack an open mind and creativity
Agree with you two on this. I was shocked at how good it was, but yeah…the end.
So Cult of Thorn was terrible (it was) but magical transference of evil is not a problem? I liked the ideas at the beginning but again it's like they didn't know where to go so evil transference. lost me there.
Rich Evans?
Fuck the cramps
I just like the idea of the scarecrow mask being used by the town's straw man for Myers' actions, I think it's neat.
They think it's a meat grinder.
I'm impressed that The Pit finally got a big budget remake.
42:18 I'd say the 12 on the dice is more likely a reference to how this is the 12th Michael Myers movie (Halloween 3 doesn't count)
if they just made a sequel that just continues from an alternate ending where cory lives I'd be fine with that.
I'm sure Mike's theory about some exec hijacking the movie is 100% true. I'm also sure that, out of spite, the director of Halloween Ends gave Mike Myers the most unambiguous, 100%-certain, hilarious death scene they possibly could.
How the actual fuck are Mike and Jay the same age???!?!
Haddonfield is Derry 10:00
so I ll be there in 30 years fighting for the truth saying David Gordon Green was an absolute asshole
I give them props because they at least always admitted it wasn't planned, and if they made more it would be based on the performance of the first; I really liked this movie.
I think one of my biggest gripes is Laurie’s character. The 40 years between the first movie and the 2018 one, she spends all the time preparing for Michael to come back. He is locked up in a maximum security asylum during that time, leaving her the opportunity to have peace of mind if she chose. He comes back and kills like 30 people between 2018 & Kills, then disappears. And THATS when she decides “you know what? Time to move on”. It literally makes absolutely no god damn sense.
I love how Mike has apparently been dealing with the trauma of liking Jurassic world this whole time LOL. I still remember Dunkey commenting on that video taking a shot at him.
I was so drunk last night that I thought I was having a conversation with Mike and Jay 😅
I've heard the word Halloween so many times that it's lost all meaning. I legitimately wondered why these Halloween movies keep coming out just before Halloween.
This is a bad movie .
"This is the final chapter of a trilogy; why is it a trilogy?"
Because people incompetent enough to be overpaid by Hollywood have heard of a Three Act Structure, but not actually learned what an Act is, and only know that counting to three is what they're supposed to be doing with their careers.
It is not a trilogy. It’s one Halloween film in 3 different concepts. The first film was a Halloween where he is a 60 year old still dangerous killer. That is the wrap up that most fans needed. Then the second is a concept of him being non human. Just a vessel of pure evil. With this Curtis is dwarf back to a senile crazy useless woman character. The final concept would take place in the first film BUT Curtis didn’t even do what she did in the first film and was just a normal senile grandma. The town has no knowledge of Michael because he never killed those people. He instead just escaped and went to the sewers because he was locked in an asylum for 40 years. With zero ability to drive or map direction, he has to resort to waiting by a sewer and kill whatever comes his way. He goes from being a shark with killer instinct and no remorse. To a snapping turtle that’s slow, small and long game.
I just can't wait for Michael Myers vs Bette Midler to come out
It's a film that tried to please both people who wanted a final showdown between Laurie and Michael and also people that wanted the franchise to do something new for once, it failed at both, it should've really committed to just one thing. I liked Corey, some things about his character and the relationship with allyson felt a bit rushed but the whole "evil changes shape" aspect was great.
They needed to do just one single thing that would've elevated the finale: having it so Corey's corpse disappears after the Laurie vs Michael fridge moment, and then having him staring at the final procession/meat grinder scene from far away, only to disappear in the darkness of the night. It would've reinforced the movie's idea and also completed the circle.
I loved it. It's almost like 'evil' got tired of Michael being old and broken down…he wanted younger …wait…evil is Woody Allen?
Dun dun duuuuuuun
I didn't want more of the same, I just wanted it to be good especially considering its the end to Laurie's arc. Saying it's good because it's different is like chewing on 5 pieces of shit in a row then getting to the last piece and thinking it tastes good because this one has a milky aftertaste. Different shit is still just shit.
Didn't Friday the 13th do this like years ago?
They ruined the Halloween franchise a long time ago. Now it's just silly.
Sam Adams Octoberfest is shit. Thank you for the PSA!
I enjoy this movie a lot more if I pretend a lot of the stuff in the previous 2 didn't happen. The Corey stuff is the best in this movie. But Laurie's temperament, Myers being weak, all that shit makes no in the context of this series. However, ENDS is way better than Kills.
I do like the idea of as soon as Michael is grinded down to mush Coery sits up. But nerds wouldn't like it at all. As Jay says, " it's not Michael Myers."
I can't stop thinking about this film, the audacity. Loved it. DGG expanded the themes of the original and made Michael bigger, much bigger than he ever was. I was engrossed the entire time and giddy that he delivered a story that made Michael's evil palpable. It swallows the town and then Corey. Who needs seeing Michael in his makeshift bed or eating a stray dog. KILLS was non-stop slasher mayhem but with a boring, boilerplate script that TELLS without SHOWING. "Michael is transcending," Laurie says for no reason whatsoever. But in ENDS we SEE him transcend from being a man in a sewer to an infecting evil. I know this film will only grow in stature over time.
It's a crap film.
Movies garbage lol😂
…it’s like a tandem bicycle with John Carpemter on the back (initiates him smoking and coughing). This triggered me 😆
Michael grabbing Laurie and tossing her into the grinder….fade to black, would’ve redeemed this POS film, at least by a c@nt hair. People go to watch the guy in the white mask kill people, and live to see another day…to kill some more. The only good thing about this film, is the fact we’ll never see crazy/activist/yogurt lady again.
Yea idk I thought it was dog shit
We call this film "Halloween Bellends." Because it's a load of bellends.
But can completely dig the fact that you guys liked it.
It was a really good fun flick. It was different, and it has great kills. I actually did not like the last two, but really enjoyed Halloween Ends.
