They claim that vandalism happened, threats of violence, satanic cult stuff was placed at the house and they decided to sue everybody. Not sure how that was resolved, but tough break for them. 25 peaceful years of the Conjuring house. Then, uh, the movie comes out. Apex mountain. Here's the case for Patrick Wilson. Who's been in some good movies. 2013 does this and the, the kind of borderline iconic, uh, episode of girls. Yes. Which was when that show just, the ceiling came off on that show for just how weird it was going to get. But, um, both of those things happened same year. I'm going to go. Yes. For Patrick Wilson. And if the answer is no, tell me a better Patrick Wilson year. I love little children. I think that's like his best work. But that's not the question. Remember that movie, Kate Winslet? Most career chits. Did he get chits from the Conjuring? Yeah. He's in every one of them now. He gets to be in all the sequels from here to eternity. I mean, he was, I feel like in a weird way, he has not reaped the benefits of being in these franchises because he is an insidious too. I mean, he didn't like, he has not become like a huge, huge star because of this. Right. Chris, are you still cranking out the watch? Mm-hmm. You should have him on the watch. To talk about what? Just bring him on. To talk about girls? Patrick Wilson. Him in horror movies. It's the whole thing. Yeah. Bring him in. I want to see if I'm, I've already got a request out to Bathsheba. And if she says no, I'll go Patrick Wilson. The funniest, the funniest Patrick Wilson role ever is in 2018. He played a character in the movie Aquaman who is known as the Ocean Master. Yeah. Also directed by James Wan who directed The Conjuring. And it's not like, it's not a good look. And that's how you know that Patrick Wilson didn't, he didn't, I agree with Chris, he didn't reap the benefits of being in this huge franchise. It just means he's in more franchise movies. He's in more Conjuring movies. He's in The Nun. He's in more insidious movies. I don't know. He didn't like level up. So you like the potential of Little Children. Yeah. Little Children 06. He's opposite Kate Winslet. The movie gets some Oscar love, gets some attention. I don't know. Conjuring in Girls leads to Young Adult with Charlize, which I thought was really good. And he's really good in that movie. So Lily Taylor, it's hard to not say, say anything was her apex just for me personally, but it definitely wasn't her apex. And I would say being the lead in a $319 million horror movie would have to be her apex mountain. Definitely it was a Lily Taylor renaissance because of this, I think, brought her back into consciousness. Haunted house movies. Whoa. You think it is apex mountain for haunted house movies? Sinister, then this. And now it's like, okay, now we know what the next seven years are going to look like horror movies. We're just going to be getting more of these work. That late 70s run, though. I don't know. You know, you got like... The Exorcist isn't a haunted house movie, but it kicks off that wave of movies that you talked about at the beginning of the show. Possession. Yeah. Yeah. Those movies feel iconic to me. I don't know. That's a tough one. That's a good call, Bill, but I would almost give it to Insidious. Because I think Insidious paves the way for this. And then I don't necessarily think there's been like... There's been a lot of them, but has there been a haunted house movie as big as The Conjuring since The Conjuring, other than The Conjuring Universe? Not really. Stuff that's been close, but... Rhode Island? Well, some guys get their bodies dumped in Rhode Island in the beginning of The Departed. I'm trying to think. There's been some Patriot stuff in Rhode Island at the Foxy Lady. Some good Patriot scandals. Is the question Rhode Island in movies, or is it in the history of Rhode Island? Rhode Island. There was a nice URI. State Rhode Island. There was a URI March Madness run with Tom Garrick. That's right. Patino at Providence was pretty great. Yeah, Patino at Providence is good. Marvin Barnes had a nice run in the 70s there. I don't know. I don't know what the apex mountain of Providence was. Do you have any picking nets? Because I think we hit everything. I do. I have one. Which is just that nobody dies. And I just feel like with the level of... Sadie dies. What is wrong with you guys? You're fucking monsters. For the level of demonic possession that we are dealing with here, I feel like one of Brad or Drew should probably bite it. Yeah, they had five kids. They could get rid of... Well, they could have lost one of the five kids, too. Because then this... Brad should have bit it. Brad was like right there. They bit his face. He's just like randomly around. Like he's not a full believer. All that stuff. And they let it go. And I think if I had it, like one thing I'd like to ask for from my Conjuring movies is a little bit of a higher body count. I mean, Brad did get disfigured. He's fine. He did. He did. I have one nit. I'm not necessarily saying that this doesn't make sense, but I was hoping you guys could help me understand it a little bit. So near the end of the movie, when the Warrens tell the family to go to a motel to wait to get word for whether the exorcism is cleared by the Vatican. So the family leaves and then the Warrens go back to their house. And at that time, Bathsheba is possessing Annabelle to potentially kill their daughter in their house. And so that's a distraction that Bathsheba sets to preoccupy the Warrens who get home just in time conveniently. And then that's when Bathsheba decides to possess Lily Taylor's character. But earlier in the movie, they pointed out that it doesn't matter if you leave the house or not, that once the house is possessed, those things can follow you all over the place. So what was the point of going to the motel? Why did that happen? It's a great one. That's a great point. Also, how did Bathsheba move out of the house to the Warrens' house if she needed a vessel to go from point A to point B? Yeah. What's up? The Conjuring is built on a faulty premise. Also, that whole motel scene is just another brick from Livingston's character. We're just like, I know this is the most traumatic thing that any family's ever experienced, but I'm just going to make a quick run to Publix. Best quotes. We mentioned a couple of them. I like when Vera says, you have a lot of spirits in here, but there's one I'm most worried about because it's so hateful.
