Main Theme & Purpose

This episode of Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present is dedicated to #14 on their Halloween horror hit list: the 2022 Japanese horror film Re/Member ("re/member" with a slash). Amy and T.J. delve into why this teen, time-loop horror movie—despite mixed reviews and a modest box office—made such an impression on them, especially during a tumultuous period in their personal lives. They celebrate the film's mix of horror, comedy, and heartfelt coming-of-age themes, and discuss its unique genre blend, cultural differences, and how mood and timing can impact a horror film experience.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Initial Impressions & Personal Connection

• Timing of Viewing: The hosts watched "Re/Member" during an uncertain period after leaving ABC, seeking distraction and escape.

  • Amy Robach: “It was exactly what we needed. It was a morning horror movie, and we were kind of living our own horror at the time.” (03:24)
  • TJ Holmes: “We just happened upon this movie on Netflix a few months after its release, I believe, and we were transfixed by it.” (05:49)

• Shared Taste in Horror: Amy and T.J. highlight their rare occurrence of loving a film together, using "Re/Member" as an example of their horror sensibilities aligning.

  • Amy Robach: “I was actually... I think this is the moment when I looked at you and I thought, he's the one. We both get this movie.” (04:29)

---

2. The Movie Itself: Plot, Genre & Tone

• Basic Premise: Six high schoolers in a time loop must find the scattered body parts of a victim to break a curse.

  • TJ Holmes: “Six high schoolers stuck in a murderous time loop must find the scattered remains of an unknown victim to break the curse and finally see another day.” (06:49)

• Genre Mix: A blend of horror, drama, sci-fi, and coming-of-age with unexpected comedic elements.

  • Amy Robach: “There was almost a little bit of a rom com in the middle of the horror... It was hilarious and we loved it.” (09:01)
  • Abrupt tonal shifts are frequent, but the hosts found them refreshing and entertaining.

• Cultural Elements: The film’s Japanese setting and sensibilities contributed both to its uniqueness and some of its humor, especially through the dubbed English version.

  • Amy Robach: “It seemed ridiculous when we were watching it. This band of teenagers...trying to solve this mystery...and then in the middle of it all, they're enjoying volleyball on the beach.” (09:01)
  • TJ Holmes: “Watching Japanese actors with very American sounding dubbing...made for a bizarre movie to watch.” (14:26)

---

3. Critical Reception & Audience Response

• Mixed Reviews: Rotten Tomatoes score is 57% (critics), 50% (audience). The hosts dissect why critics and viewers seem divided.

  • Amy Robach: “50% I'm like, all right. Half the people who watched it loved it. I could be in that half.” (08:09)

• Typical Critic Feedback:

  • Some see “Re/Member” as a “pleasant surprise” if you can accept its “juvenile cinema” tropes.
  • Others find it “illogical and silly,” especially in the final act.
  • TJ Holmes (on a critic's review): “For many, by the time the big monster shows up, the film will have already developed, evolved into an illogical and silly exercise. And for some, the final third will be laughably goofy. I agree. And that would have been in my positive review.” (10:59)

---

4. What the Hosts Loved

• Escapism: The film provided much-needed relief during a tough time.

  • Amy Robach: “I think I love the way some movies make you feel and this movie. I remember how I felt when I watched it. I was laughing, I was entertained. I felt I was in the moment.” (18:59)
  • TJ Holmes: “It gave us an hour and a half of not thinking about anything else. And it was a good time.” (11:52)

• Unexpected Heart: The focus on friendship and group dynamics, reminiscent of "Breakfast Club" or "Sixteen Candles," resonated strongly.

  • TJ Holmes: “I enjoyed the friendship story...I loved how it showed us what they were and what they became and what they found out is that we are actually the same. And it took a monster chasing us to realize we're not different at all.” (19:13)
  • Amy Robach: “What's more uniting than a common foe? Right?” (19:48)

• Dubbed Experience: Watching with English dubbing added an extra layer of unintentional comedy.

  • Amy Robach: “I love a dub movie. It's great. And especially when it's horror because somehow...it just adds a whole other layer to the entertainment...” (13:37)

---

5. Who is This Movie For?

• Best For: Viewers open to genre-blending, silly, oddball horror with comedic and heartfelt moments. Fans of ‘time loop’ movies and those who won’t overanalyze narrative logic.

  • Amy Robach: “This movie is for anybody who wants to be entertained...This is just fun, laughable, laugh out loud, but still in the horror genre kind of a movie.” (20:35)
  • TJ Holmes: “Don’t try to make sense of what’s happening. It’s kids in a time loop, for God’s sake. They’re waking up every day living the same damn day.” (21:11)

• Not For: Those seeking “elevated horror,” strict logic, or genuinely scary experiences.

---

6. Pairings & Viewing Recommendations

• Food & Drink Suggestions

  • Amy Robach: “Go ahead, lean in, dumpling, sushi. Have some fun. Like a good opportunity to have a beautiful, wonderful Japanese meal... Just lean into the culture. Sake, some good Japanese beer.” (23:12)
  • TJ Holmes: “Anything that fits in a lunchbox because all these kids, there’s a lot of lunchroom... puts you in the back to school mood.” (23:12)

• How to Watch: Available on Netflix with an enthusiastic recommendation to use dubbing for maximum entertainment value.

[TJ Holmes]

Hey there folks. It is Saturday, October 18th and we have got a movie for you. It is a foreign language coming of age teen horror film that isn't rated very well on Rotten Tomatoes. But trust us, there's a reason it's number 14 on our list. And welcome to this horror hit list episode of Amy and TJ. We are getting into the top 15, and this was one in the last episode of Least Rhodes. We warned everybody. Okay, this is the one. If y' all didn't think we were crazy before, you might question us on this one.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. I was actually surprised. I remember exactly where we were when we watched this. And we were both. It was exactly what we needed. It was a morning horror movie, and we were kind of living our own horror at the time. And so this was just such a fun departure from real life that also fit the bill of the type of movie we like. And I was surprised. You know what I've just kind of come to realize. Do you and I ever disagree about whether we like a horror movie? We've almost always had the same reaction.

[TJ Holmes]

Yeah. Okay, we might have to find one. Okay, we might have to find one. I don't have one that I disagree. There's some we enjoy. You know what? Substance.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. Okay. That is the one. I liked it. You hated it. That's rare, though. And this could have been one where I could see even people who are of, like, mind and love horror movies. One person might love it, the other person might not. I was actually. I think this is the moment when I looked at you and I thought, he's the one. We both get this movie.

[TJ Holmes]

This was the moment.

[Amy Robach]

I'm kidding. But it was one of many. But no, seriously, I don't think this movie is for everyone. And the fact that we both loved it and not just liked it, but loved it spoke volumes.

[TJ Holmes]

But it's for some folks. They're very specific reasons. Like, there are some people don't look like some demonic possession creeps them out. Others don't want to see the gore in the guts. I am a body. Horror is the thing I do not handle and don't ever want to see. And that's why the substance, as awesome as everybody was in that movie and even the story and the idea of it, you couldn't.

[Amy Robach]

But it's funny. You like this one has body horror.

[Ryan Seacrest]

In it for sure, but it's just violence.

[TJ Holmes]

Like, I could take a brutal death. Don't give me the sounds. And these Slower.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. Sewing up a cut, like, with stitches and needles. I get that things get.

[TJ Holmes]

Things get deformed and all that. I'm not a big fan of that. So this is. I didn't know. And we didn't know what to expect, but I see the release date on it was October 14th of 2020. 2. And that is about two months before shit hit the fan with us at ABC. Yeah, so this might have been a thing that we had had Netflix on and go, oh, there's a new something. And we turned it on.

[Amy Robach]

That's exactly. I remember. It was the early days of us not knowing what our lives were going to look like. Everything was turned upside down. We just happened upon this movie on Netflix a few months after its release, I believe, and we were transfixed by it.

[TJ Holmes]

So a few Japanese teenagers really helped us through it all. So thank you to the cast of Remember. And it's not just the word remember. It's actually spelled out a very specific way here.

[Amy Robach]

Like as in remembering a body. Yes. Re. Slash, member.

[TJ Holmes]

Yes.

[Amy Robach]

Yes.

[TJ Holmes]

If you go looking for it, that is what it looks like. And it is number 14 on our list. Released, as we mentioned, in October of 2022. 1 hour and 42 minutes long. It didn't come with a rating, but the genre is horror drama and sci fi. Thought that was a good way to put it. And we have two. I've never had to say it in plural. Synopsises.

[Amy Robach]

Synopses.

[TJ Holmes]

Synopses.

[Amy Robach]

I don't know.

[TJ Holmes]

Okay. See, I never had to say it before. We got two different ones, and I liked them both, so I included them both. The first one here, the synopsis for this movie. Six high schoolers stuck in a murderous time loop must find the scattered remains of an unknown victim to break the curse and finally see another day. That's.

[Amy Robach]

That's well said.

[TJ Holmes]

Couldn't come up with that better version.

[IBM AI Agent Narrator]

Perfect.

[TJ Holmes]

All right, so there's another.

[Amy Robach]

There's an alternative. A high school student and her friends are trapped in a time loop by a ghost, and the only way to escape is to find the corpse of the ghost's previous victim.

[TJ Holmes]

Also good. More specific.

[Amy Robach]

Yes, it is.

[TJ Holmes]

And more confusing in that second one. Now, this one was not released here in the US again, a Japanese film, but it did make $8.1 million at the box office. Now, a lot of these. You don't know the names of a lot of these. The cast here, but the director is Ichiro Hasumi. I think he has a couple of other horror credits to his name. Some TV stuff as well. But again, this not a huge movie, not a huge cast, and not a huge director necessarily attached to it. Rotten Tomatoes score here, 57%. That ain't great. The audience score 50%. Now, you seeing that, would you have been turned off immediately by this? No. Really?

[Amy Robach]

No, I would not. Because actually, 50% I'm like, all right. Half the people who watched it loved it. I could be in that half. So that would not have scared me away at all.

[TJ Holmes]

That's funny how you. The logic you put behind Rotten Tomatoes score some sample critic reviews here. The critic said this a pleasant surprise for viewers without prejudices towards the tropes of juvenile cinema. They're saying you got to be able to deal with some teeny bopper stuff.

[Amy Robach]

Correct. Because there was almost a little bit of a rom com in the middle of the horror. So at one point we. We just burst out laughing. I actually thought it was welcome comedic relief.

[TJ Holmes]

And I don't know if it was. It wasn't necessarily something funny that they're showing you, but it's so silly that it's happening in that moment. You had to laugh.

[Amy Robach]

It might even be cultural. I mean, yes, that's what we were thinking. Like, it could be that in Japanese movies, this is just something that happens because it seemed ridiculous when we were watching it. This band of teenagers, unlikely friends who were actually not friends in high school, were thrust together trying to solve this mystery where they were all kind of in this nightmarish loop. But then in the middle of it all, they're enjoying volleyball on the beach. And it was like, wait, is this Japanese version of 90210 or am I still watching a horror movie? But it actually was hilarious and we loved it.

[TJ Holmes]

But I did see places in looking this up that, yes, this. There were culture moments that played to the Japanese culture and books and art and things that they were into. It absolutely says so. With that in mind, it does make more sense. Another review here from a critic saying that Remember is, in short, a pleasant experience that succeeds in offering both the thrills of a horror slasher as well as a touching exploration of romantic and amicable. Amicable feelings.

[Amy Robach]

Okay, so, yeah, so there is a little rom com in there, supposedly.

[TJ Holmes]

But I loved Some People Don't Want it. And this is not one I should have been into. I love the friendship story.

[Amy Robach]

I loved that you loved it.

[TJ Holmes]

I actually did in this one.

[Amy Robach]

It had heart, you know, in a. In almost. In a silly way. But again, because of the different culture, you could almost accept it. I feel like if this were an American made movie, it wouldn't have it. We. It wouldn't have landed the way it did. The fact that it was Japanese.

[TJ Holmes]

Yeah, it. Yeah, it wasn't. I don't know. And if we had someone here in this country doing this movie, and it wouldn't have played well. Probably in a different culture as well. If we did it the way we.

[Amy Robach]

Do it here in America right now. I'm really curious to see what the audience reviews were like with the 50 50. You had to have some bad and some good.

[TJ Holmes]

Okay. So for many, by the time the big monster shows up, the film will have already developed, evolved into an illogical and silly exercise. And for some, the final third will be laughably goofy. I agree. And that would have been in my positive review. All of that sounds about right.

[Amy Robach]

Agreed. I. I don't. Yes, I think that is a fair depiction of what happens. And so this, like we have talked about in this list, we have genuinely scary, horrifying, creepy, awful, but also funny, comedic, heartwarming. There are so many different types of horror stories, and I do think it depends on the mood you're in, the person you're with, the time of day, what you're experiencing in your life. They can all have a place as long as they're well executed. And I think this one knows what it is and leaned right into it. And we appreciate it.

[TJ Holmes]

You know, we, for us as well, maybe we did find it at the right time. Not just time in our lives, but also right time of day. We were just in the morning, turn the TV on, see it there. And it gave us an hour and a half of not thinking about anything else. And it was a good time.

[Amy Robach]

It was right. Truly, this. We watched this movie in the first few weeks of not having a job and not knowing if we were going to have a job and feeling so stressed and lost about all of that and what we should do with our lives and our time and where our head should be. So this was just the perfect escape.

[TJ Holmes]

Yes. To see Japanese teenagers killed repeatedly. Yes. That's what we needed. Also, another review here. I haven't seen this word before. An enjoyable ish horror. That was okay, but I probably won't watch it again. The film starts off good with a gory murder, but afterwards it gets quite slow for a bit and after a while there are some more gory murders and quite a horrific monster. But then the film goes back to trying to be a drama and gets a bit boring.

[Amy Robach]

I never thought it was boring. No, I never thought it was boring. I did think it was hilarious and funny and entertaining for it to flip back and forth to different genres.

[TJ Holmes]

Yes. You know what we should add, it did add to this movie? Being funny is again, it's his foreign language. It's in Japanese, so you can choose to read along with the subtitles.

[Amy Robach]

Or you could do like we do with the dub. And we love the dub because the dub actors. I don't know who you are, but it's always comical.

[TJ Holmes]

Gives us life every time. Because you're supposed to be some Japanese teenager twirling around on a beach and you're actually some 20 year old white guy in a booth in LA trying to voice it. It's hard to put yourself in that.

[Amy Robach]

It makes it even funnier. I love a dub movie. It's great. And especially when it's horror because somehow it's. I don't know, it just adds a whole other layer to the entertainment when you're watching and hearing the dub voice.

[TJ Holmes]

So we highly recommend the dubbing. Now one more for you here. Someone here saying, I like Asian cinema in general because I find it pleasantly weird.

[Amy Robach]

Perfect.

[TJ Holmes]

The plot sounds intriguing, the idea nothing new. But if you're a fan of time loop, it could be worth a watch. Or at least that's what I thought. Unfortunately, after a good beginning, the movie turns from a horror with potential to a weird friendship trip where the movie completely loses its way. Kinda agree with that too.

[Amy Robach]

Yeah. But we were. Okay, we were willing to get lost.

[TJ Holmes]

It was a friendship trip. It was funny. These sweet tender moments that I'm seeing these again. Japanese actors with very American sounding dubbing. It's. It made for a bizarre movie to watch. I enjoyed it. Why this one? I think we made it pretty clear here why this one's on our list. Rose, it meant a lot to us. At the time we didn't realize, but it gave us an escape. And it is. It's a pleasant surprise. Yeah.

[Amy Robach]

And we just recently rewatched it and it held. Just wanted to say so when we come back we're going to talk about why it made our list, who it's for, who it's not, for what to pair it with. And a tease for our next movie on the list. Stay with us. You're juggling a lot. Full time job, side hustle, maybe a family. And now you're thinking about grad school.

And this is a departure from a lot of the other movies we have on our list. First of all, it's a foreign film. It's we watched it dubbed. It's a Japanese film. And it blends a lot of genres and is abrupt in some ways where suddenly you're in the middle of some gory horror shot and then you have kids coming of age playing volleyball on a beach. But that relief and that back and forth was actually a huge part of the reason why we loved it and thought it was hilarious and interesting and fascinating and Fun to watch, period, for a horror movie. So we went through some of the reviews. They are certainly mixed, but Wyatt made our list. It just. I. I think I love the way some movies make you feel and this movie. I remember how I felt when I watched it. I felt I was laughing, I was entertained. I felt I was in the moment. I wasn't thinking about anything else that was going on in my life. I was there for it. And I was immersed and invested in the story. And I feel like any movie that can do that, that can pull you in, is worth watching and worth recommending.

[TJ Holmes]

And again, this is me. I enjoyed the friendship story. I appreciate there was a kind of a loner then they got the cool kids over here. You've got the athlete over here, you've got the cute guy over here. And all these people are not really mixing together until they were forced together and had to form their own family and their own love and their own structure based on circumstances. I loved how it showed us what they were and what they became and what they found out is that we are actually the same. And it took a monster chasing us to realize we're not different at all.

[Amy Robach]

What's more uniting than a common foe? Right? And that is kind of the premise of the movie. I feel like it was a little bit like Sixteen Candles meets a ghost story. And I know you don't necessarily know what Sixteen Candles is all about, but for me, that was a coming of age or breakfast club, something where you have an unlikely group of people coming together again. Another white coming of age movie that you did not see.

[TJ Holmes]

I love when you start giving me cultural references to help me understand another cultural reference. And all of them I've never heard of.

[Amy Robach]

What's a black coming of age movie that you think about and you say that. That reminds me of coming up coming.

[TJ Holmes]

Of age movie for black folks. Yeah, yeah, we don't. We don't have that. It's usually just a beginning and an end you don't get a chance to go through. Who wants to sit and look at a black life on the big screen?

[Amy Robach]

All right, this is another five. I'm sorry I asked. All right, who's it for? This movie is for anybody who wants to be entertained and who is not going to. Who's. Again, I think I've said this before. Sometimes you're looking for an elevated horror movie experience. This is not for you. You don't. If you are looking for something to scare you, to make you think deeper, this is not your movie. This is Just fun, laughable. Laugh out loud. But still in the horror genre kind of a movie. And I just think you definitely need to be in that mindset when you sit down to watch it.

[TJ Holmes]

Illogical. I think said in that word was used in one of the reviews. It's illogical. Don't try to make sense of what's happening. It's kids in a time loop, for God's sake. They're waking up every day living the same damn day.

[Amy Robach]

Yeah, it's Groundhog Day as well.

[TJ Holmes]

Yeah.

[Amy Robach]

There's another movie that it could be like Groundhog Day meets a ghost story.

[TJ Holmes]

A ghost story? Is that a movie or you just say any.

[Amy Robach]

No, I'm just saying any ghost story.

[TJ Holmes]

Okay.

[Amy Robach]

I didn't know. Like a haunting. Some sort of a haunting story with a Groundhog Day and a Sixteen Candles all mixed in one.

[TJ Holmes]

I didn't know I was missing another cultural reference of yours.

[Amy Robach]

Yes. So anyone? Yes, I like who it's not for. You wrote anyone who needs things to make sense.

[TJ Holmes]

Yeah. This is not your movie.

[Amy Robach]

But isn't that. We've talked about this before. In horror movies, you just really do have to suspend logic and judgment. And often most movies that is the case.

[TJ Holmes]

Even the highbrow ones. Right. Who didn't people love? Get out. Wasn't that a horror movie?

[Amy Robach]

Yes.

[TJ Holmes]

Yeah. How much of that made sense?

[Amy Robach]

Like, almost none of it. But it was just a fun watch.

[TJ Holmes]

Wild movie. Yes, they're all illogical.

[Amy Robach]

I remember when we watched it, we had. We were so surprised. We did not think it was going to be good. Look, a lot of times we. Let's be honest, we will deliberately pick bad, campy, horribly active movies just to laugh. We actually thought this was going to be one of them. It's not far from it. But we can't tell how well it was acted because of the dubbing.

[TJ Holmes]

And, you know, I'm usually an immediate no if I see there's foreign language subtitle. Don't want to do it. I don't know why we did this.

[Amy Robach]

For some reason you were like, all right, let it rip. Maybe we didn't know it was dubbed. And then we started watching it and I remember you looked at me, you said, all right, you picked a good one. And we just knew we were in for a fun ride. And that's exactly what it was. Food, drink pairing. Look, her mom is constantly making her, isn't it? Was it pot stickers? Was it dumplings? Like I would say, go ahead, lean in, dumpling sushi. Have some fun. Like a good opportunity to have a beautiful, wonderful Japanese meal. You go, hibachi, sushi. Just lean into the cultures. Sake, some good Japanese beer.

[TJ Holmes]

See, I was going to eat. I didn't even put a Japanese twist on it. I was going to say anything that fits in a lunchbox because all these kids, there's a lot of lunchroom in the library. It puts you in the back to school mood. So I was going to grab an apple, maybe a banana in there, a little.

[Amy Robach]

Well, the mom was making, like, extra Japanese treats for her to bring to her friends. Which she didn't have in the movie. Yes, in her lunchbox. So, yes, you could. Either way, it's.

[TJ Holmes]

But she got friends at the end, and then.

[Amy Robach]

And then her mom after. Well, I don't want to give away the ending, but when her mom gave her some snacks to take to school, she actually had friends. It was very sweet.

[TJ Holmes]

She only had to watch them die.

[Amy Robach]

Over 50 nights and over and over again. All right, you can watch this on Netflix. So it's easy if you've got that subscription free and fun. And again, just suspend judgment. Have a blast, Order some sushi. Sounds like a perfect night.

[TJ Holmes]

Sushi's a good call.

[Amy Robach]

Yeah, I agree. So, all right, our next movie on the list, this will be number 13. This is one of your all time favorites.

[TJ Holmes]

Is it?

[Amy Robach]

Yes.

[TJ Holmes]

Oh, number 13. It is the blackest movie on our list. 100%. Absolutely. And it would actually be higher up on our list, except for it's such a new movie. We didn't think we could call it a classic just yet. But it is knocking on the door. Yes, this is a favorite for sure. So don't miss that. Number 13 will be coming your way tomorrow, but for now, we always appreciate you having a good horror fest with us. I'm TJ Holmes. On behalf of Amy Robock, we'll talk to y' all soon.
