The episode is part of Amy and T.J.’s Halloween "Deep Cuts" Horror Hit List: a countdown of their favorite less-mainstream horror films. This chapter spotlights “Jeepers Creepers” (2001) as their #21 pick. The hosts discuss what makes the film a fun, memorable entry in horror cinema, why they love lead actor Justin Long, their favorite moments (both on- and off-screen), and the movie’s unique blend of scares, thrills, and camp.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Why “Jeepers Creepers” Made the Hit List

• Both Amy and T.J. admit they initially underestimated the film due to its "goofy" title, but ultimately found it engaging, suspenseful, and "just fun."
• Amy admits she avoided it for years:

  “Maybe it was the name Jeepers Creepers. I don’t want to see that silly movie. ... I actually think that I was aware of it but deliberately avoided it because the name didn’t sound scary.” (04:21)

• They appreciate how the movie immediately hooks viewers, praising its strong, suspenseful opening and brisk pacing at just 90 minutes.
• Rated "R," which, for Amy and T.J., is a hallmark of their kind of horror (“I think I can watch a rated R movie.” (05:45)).

2. Justin Long’s Appeal & Career

• Justin Long’s everyman energy makes audiences “feel safe” even in intense movies.
• TJ asks: “What do people know Justin Long from? ... Is he most known for something?” referencing his roles in Barbarian, Dodgeball, and Galaxy Quest (08:04).
• They highlight the value of recurring horror (and comedy) cast standouts—Long, Patrick Wilson, Jessica Chastain, Rose Byrne.

3. The Movie’s Tone: Scary but Not Too Serious

• The film skillfully balances building suspense and tension with moments of silliness or “supernatural shenanigans.”
• Amy on genre expectations:

  "There are some horror movies that almost made our list. ... 85% of it is just amazing. And then the last 15%, you lost me." (09:35)

• They embrace horror tropes, noting that part of the viewer's enjoyment is yelling at the screen as characters make bad decisions ("Yeah, it's a horror movie. That’s part of it." (10:33)).

4. Criticisms, Reviews, and Why They Still Love It

• Rotten Tomatoes critics gave it a 47%, with Amy and T.J. agreeing with most criticisms—predictability, a silly ending, “psychic mumbo jumbo”—but seeing them as part of the film’s charm.
• Quoting critics:

  "Jeepers Creepers might have a stylishly sinister look, but the goods are rudimentary." (12:23)
  "Jeepers Creepers degenerates from a realistic and frightening story into silly supernatural shenanigans." (13:07)

• T.J.: “Some of the shenanigans were fun... This menacing creature does like some ridiculous funny stuff. ... I, I agree with every criticism.” (13:07)

5. Why it’s a Great Group Movie

• They advocate watching with friends so everyone can yell at the TV when characters make “stupid mistakes.” It becomes communal.
• Amy: “But if they made the choice that actually made sense, we wouldn’t have a movie.” (10:50)

6. Why the Film is "Digestible" Horror

• Despite the scares and tension, the movie’s campy turn impacts the after-effect:

  “It actually ends up making it light hearted enough or silly enough where you’re not shaking under your covers at night. ... This actually, in a way, makes it digestible.” (14:21)

• It’s recommended as a lighter horror to watch with older teens, friends, or family (as T.J. says, “This is a campy, bubblegum, if you will, horror movie.” (15:02))

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On genre expectations:
  “When people get upset about bad decisions people make in order to get themselves killed. Yeah, it's a horror movie. That's part of it.” (10:33) — Amy

• On watching with friends:
  “If you want to scream... this is the movie for you.” (10:45) — T.J.

• Amy’s daughter calls out horror logic:
  “Ava, my oldest daughter, will go, ‘mom, it's a horror movie. Of course they do that. Like, it wouldn't be a movie if they didn’t make that choice.’” (10:50) — Amy

• On camp and after-effects:
  “So you’ve got the fear, you’ve got the heart racing, you’re totally invested. ... When you get the big reveal ... it actually ends up making it light-hearted enough or silly enough where you’re not shaking under your covers at night.” (14:15) — Amy

• Positive critical review:
  “Instantly suspenseful from the start. ... A terrific variation on the psycho from hell formula and a memorably gruesome horror fantasy.” (15:02)

Why It Made the List & Suggested Viewing

• Anyone looking for a mix of scares, heart-racing tension, and campy fun

Who It’s Not For

• Viewers looking for deeply introspective, artful, or “elevated” horror
• Anyone turned off by genre tropes or predictable story beats

Pairing Suggestions

• Best enjoyed with a group for maximum laughter and (good-natured) shouting at the screen

Where to Watch

• Legacy: DVD (“Pull out that old DVD player!” (29:57))

The hosts stress that “Jeepers Creepers” is meant for fun—don’t overthink it, enjoy the ride, and let yourself be swept up in the tension and twists. They also tease the next episode, centering on a horror film revolving around a dinner party.

Memorable Host Story: Justin Long on GMA3 ([24:09–26:11])

• Amy and T.J. tell an anecdote about Justin Long calling out their show’s (rude) on-screen graphic during a live Zoom interview.
  T.J.: “At the bottom, it says, coming up Monday, Nelly. And just in the middle of his answer, he said, ‘Ooh, Nelly’s gonna be on on Monday’ and then just kept talking.”
• The moment forced a permanent change in the show’s format—and further cemented their affection for Long.

---

This detailed, conversational, and critical discussion of “Jeepers Creepers” ultimately celebrates its place as a beloved, if imperfect, horror “deep cut”—one perfect for spooky season (and popcorn).

[B]

Hey there folks. It is Saturday, October 11, and he might be our favorite guest we ever had on GMA3. But even if not that, he for sure gave us our favorite moment ever on GMA 3. And he is also in today's number 21 on our list of favorite horror movies. Everybody, welcome to this episode of Amy and tj. As we continue to count down our horror hit list. Where you are are giving our favorite movies that maybe you haven't even heard of. Our horror deep cuts and robes. This guy is now for us, a horror movie legend.

[A]

Every time we see him in a movie, we know we're in a safe, good place. We're going to get a hit of some kind. Yes, we're talking about Justin Long. He's amazing. And he is the star of the original Jeepers Creepers released August 31, 2001. And it is our number 21 on our horror hit list. And this movie starts off with a bang. You gotta love a movie. Within the first few minutes, you're like, oh yeah, I'm hooked. And that is this. And I had not seen it. Somehow this movie just slipped through the cracks for me. And maybe it was the name Jeepers Creepers. I don't want to see that silly movie. Like I actually think that I was aware of it but deliberately avoided it because the name didn't sound scary.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

And you said, oh babe, you have no idea what you're missing. And you were correct. And this movie is amazing.

[B]

I don't know how I came upon this one in the first place, but this is another one like Lake Placid I own on dvd. It's not even Blu Ray.

[A]

And those two movies I had never seen. I actually think I made a choice to not watch them. Shame on me. Yes, and better late than never. So any of you were hoping who were like me and avoided it for whatever reason or just didn't was weren't aware of it. This is something to put on your radar. This movie is awesome.

[B]

This is a. It's con. Yes, obviously a horror movie, but they also call it a mystery thriller. But the synopsis goes like this short movie, we should 90 minutes. Just 90 minutes. That's a sweet spot for a horror movie. We keep saying what they're rated. Do we have any PG13?

[A]

I don't think so because it's so funny. I actually think there are some pretty decent PG13 horror movies. But every time you see the rating as PG13, you're like, Pass. No thanks. Don't want to watch it. I'm over 21 or over 17. I think I can watch a rated R movie.

[B]

The thing is, they have to do certain things in a PG13 horror movie that make it not so horror. Like, you remember Megan. Yes, this is a good example. Megan. The original Megan was supposed to be a rated R movie, but it caught on and caught fire online, on social media, with everybody passing around the memes and this and that. Whoa. We have a much younger audience that's checking this out. How can we soften the movie a little bit so we can release it to PG13 and have a bigger hit? I don't want to see that.

[A]

But that's a brilliant marketing move.

[B]

It is.

[A]

Didn't they release an uncut version or a more.

[B]

Yes, they did.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Like I was over.

[A]

More adult version.

[B]

I was over.

[A]

But you want to rated R. So yes, we should go back.

[B]

And I don't think we have.

[A]

Oh, I think all of our movies are rated R. God, it's got to be one. No, I'll have to check.

[B]

Was the original conjuring rated R?

[A]

I believe so.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I believe so.

[B]

Okay, let me give you the synopsis here for Jeepers Creepers. Rated R? Yes. And here it is. After making a horrific discovery in the basement of an old abandoned church, Trish and her brother Darry watch their routine road trip home from college turn into a heart stopping race for their lives. They find themselves the chosen prey of an indestructible force that relentlessly pursues them and gives a new and chilling meaning to the old song. Jeepers Creepers.

[A]

How you like those peepers? Is that how it goes?

[B]

You like those peepers? Jeepers. It's a silly little song. But yes, it plays a central theme in this movie. Now the box office. Not bad. This movie made $38 million domestically, 21 million internationally, for a total of 59 million on a $10 million budget. So this is a little sleeper hit.

[A]

How did I miss this? I mean, honestly, I'm trying to think about what was going on in my life. I think maybe I don't know, but I. My loss but my gain later in life to watch it again for the second, third and fourth time.

[B]

What do people know Justin Long from? What would be the first thing you see him and you know him and everything. But is he most known for something? He was just in weapons not too long ago. But Justin Long is a face you know. Not just know, you know it well, you have seen him. Is so all barbarian. That was recent.

[A]

So good. But they say he's known for. I just did like a whole search on him. He's known for his roles in comedy and horror films including Galaxy Quest, Jeepers Creepers, Dodgeball. I see Alvin and the Chipmunks. He's just not that into you. Barbarian Tusk. I mean he has a wide ranging film like just anthology that he's a part of, but it's mostly comedy and mostly horror.

[B]

And you have our word, you know who he is as soon as you see his face. Oh, immediately you know who he is. But he stars alongside Gina Phillips who plays his sister in this movie director. And this one was Victor Salva, the rotten tomato. Score. Not a doozy. 47 from the critics.

[A]

I take issue with that. Once again. I don't disagree.

[B]

49.

[A]

Shocking.

[B]

I know where it's coming from. When you start reading through. I can totally understand. And I land on. Come on, y'. All. You're taking the movie too serious.

[A]

Exactly. Because yes. The movie starts out so tense. Oh, you are on the edge of your seat. And it does devolve into something that some people would call silly. Yes, maybe.

[B]

And I accept that.

[A]

And that does happen with a lot of horror movies. There are some horror movies that almost made our list. And the. I would say 85% of it is just amazing. And then the last 15%. You lost me. We have a couple of those. Maybe one day we'll go through those like the almost great horror movies. Like if you just had changed the ending or if you just hadn't made that choice in the last 10 minutes, that would have been like the most amazing horror movie ever. There are so many like that. They just didn't know how to end it. They didn't know how to button it up. I could see where people could make that argument. With this one. It gets a little silly.

[B]

And here is my argument with that. Yes, you're supposed to have a few of those. It's a horror.

[A]

It's okay.

[B]

Of course. Course she didn't trip over the one stick in the road. Of course he's walking and she's in a full sprint. But somehow he caught up. Of course not. There's just some silliness to horror movies. When it's this one, you just have to accept.

[A]

Exactly. When people get upset about bad decisions people make in order to get themselves killed. Yeah, it's a horror movie. That's part of it.

[B]

This is our best one on the list for that.

[A]

I was screaming at the tv, get.

[B]

People together if you want to scream. And hey, you idiots, don't do that. This is the movie for you.

[A]

Do you know what happens when I do that? Sometimes it's funny even, like, Ava, my oldest daughter, will go, mom, it's a horror movie. Of course they do that. Like, it wouldn't be a movie if they didn't make that choice. And that is a fair point. So every time I find myself yelling at the. At the scenario, I'm like, but if they made the choice that actually made sense, we wouldn't have a movie.

[B]

Yeah. And we were doing this with a recent movie, I think, two movies ago. Was it sinister? When we were talking about, dude, just turn on the lights. There's a. He's going through the house in a scary scene. He's scared of everything. What is that making a noise? And he walks past, like, 12 light switches.

[A]

You're like, he's walking past a light switch right now. But you know what? I would actually say that's part of the fun. And watching a horror movie with the group, you can point out all the stupid mistakes they make, and it's part of the enjoyment of the movie. So don't take it so seriously, because don't take yourself so seriously and understand what you've signed up for.

[B]

That is what this movie is. This is one that I would watch with a group, and I don't mind them yelling. Usually I'm like, ah, everybody shut up. So I can. This is one where it's. Okay, y'.

[A]

All.

[B]

Y' all can yell.

[A]

Yeah. So the critics consensus. Jeepers Creepers has a promising start. Yes, it absolutely does. Unfortunately, the tension and suspense quickly deflates into genre cliches as the movie goes on. Sure, that's kind of fair.

[B]

That's very, very fair.

[A]

But we were okay with that. As we just pointed out, we've got some critic reviews, and they, again, run the gamut. But here's one of them. Jeepers Creepers might have a stylish, stylishly sinister look, but the goods are rudimentary.

[B]

You know, even the vehicle to that point that the bad guy is in is menacing as hell.

[A]

Oh, my God, the noises it's making. It's scary as hell. And you don't know who's inside and why it has such supercharged power to overcome a modern vehicle even though it's ancient.

[B]

Or as Justin Long says, it must be souped up or something.

[A]

All right, another, another critic, though. It's creepy. Well firm, well filmed. First half fuels this psychological process. Jeepers Creepers degenerates from a realistic and frightening story into silly supernatural shenanigans. You know what?

[B]

Some of the shenanigans were fun. The, the scene in the road where he's avoiding the car. Some of that. It's terrifying and fun and some of it even is silly. This menacing creature does like some ridiculous funny stuff. You don't know what to do with that. And some of it. Yes, I, I agree with every criticism.

[A]

I do too. I do too. And we accept it and we embrace it. All right. Jeepers Creepers is better setting things up than following through. It must resort to psychic mumbo jumbo that has to be played straight and doesn't work.

[B]

Okay, now I agree with you with the. There's some mumbo jumbo and the, the, the mumbo jumbo, er, is not very believable and just comes out of nowhere. And that's, again, I agree with all this. I'm just saying it is still a fun movie experience.

[A]

Experience, yes. There's a menace to it that creates a lot of tension and the direction makes all the right moves, but the proverbial big reveal makes the whole thing seem more than a little ridiculous.

[B]

Yeah, all ridiculous.

[A]

So here's the, here's the way I take this because I agree with everything they're saying. So I like this movie because of all of what they just said. So you've got the fear, you've got the heart racing, you're totally invested. The acting is great. We love Justin Long. Long. And then when you get the big reveal and all, it, it actually ends up making it light hearted enough or silly enough where you're not shaking under your covers at night. So I actually think it's such a digestible horror movie that it makes it safe in a way for you to watch with family and friends. And no one's going to walk away scared to death. Like, this is the antithesis of Sinister, which leaves you feeling this, like unbelievable dread and fear. This actually, in a way makes it digestible.

[B]

And there's some fun, there are even some funny moments in this one as well. Yes, this is a campy, this is a bubblegum, if you will, horror movie.

[A]

Yes. All right, so here's the positive review. We'll just, we'll leave the reviews with a on a high note, instantly suspenseful from the start. Agreed. And bolstered by the tremendously believable performances from the two leads. 100%. This unique flight of dark imagination is a terrific variation on the psycho from hell formula and a memorably gruesome horror fantasy.

[B]

I love that it was good enough to also spawn at least two and maybe a third sequel.

[A]

The box office success speaks for itself.

[B]

Yeah. But yeah, it's hard to disagree with even right. You. You say what you think about a movie and can still recommend it. Like I can point out so many faults and flaws and all this with the movie, but I would 100 tell you to go see it.

[A]

It's something I love about the horror genre that it comes in so many different forms. And that's part of the reason why we wanted to make this list for some of maybe the lesser known horror movies that still give you something really good. Some of them have comedy, some of them have fear, some of them have entertainment, some of them have like there's just so many different sub genres of horror mov And I think it all depends on the mood you're in to pick which one you want to watch. But there is something for everyone, I really think, if you like a thrill basically.

[B]

And. But here we go again. Rogues talking about great performances. Justin Long is a solid, accomplished guy and the I didn't really piece it together until we started doing this series. Just how many movies we like have not just good but stellar and even superstar actors in it.

[A]

Yeah, you give me anything with Patrick Wilson in it. Anything with Justin Long in it, anything with even there's so many.

[B]

What are some of the female Jessica Chastain.

[A]

Jessica Chastain. Rose Byrne. I mean there's so many Vera Farminga. I can never say her name. But yes, there are just certain people you look to like, oh, if she's in it, I'm watching a hundred percent. All right. So coming up, we're going to tell you I think we've pretty much already laid it out, but we'll confirm why it made our list. Who it's for, who it's not, for what you can pair it with, where to watch it and what our next movie will give you a hint of what it is going to be.

[B]

But robes, we also need to tell you why Justin Long created our favorite moment we ever had while working at Good Morning America. All I know is what I've been.

[A]

Told and that to have truth is a whole lie for almost a decade the murder of an 18 year old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky went unsolved until a local homemaker, a journalist and a handful of girls came forward with a story.

[B]

I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her.

[A]

We know a story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national tv. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find.

[B]

I did not know her and I.

[A]

Did not kill her or rape or.

[B]

Burn or any of that other stuff that y' all said.

[A]

They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her from Lava for good. This is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

On this show I'll be talking to top researchers and top clinicians, asking them your burning questions and bringing that information about women's health and midlife directly to you. 100% of women go through menopause. It can be such a struggle for our quality of life. But even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it? The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things. They're concerned that one they have dementia and the other one is do I have adhd?

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment, free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Continuing now with our Deep cuts, Amy and TJ's Halloween horror hit list. Coming in at number 21, we have Jeepers Creepers. And we started this episode talking about why we love Justin Long so much. We already loved him for his performances in all of the movies we know and love, but we actually got to interview him on GMA3 one particular day. And he, you know, when you meet somebody that you think you are gonna love or you get to talk to them and they disappoint you, they always say, never meet your hero. He actually made us fall in love even more with him.

[B]

He delivered for us. And this was this. It had to be Covid.

[A]

I think it was during COVID It was. Everything was on Zoom. Yes.

[B]

So we had him on Zoom. You know, I can't even remember what he was promoting at the time. But there was something that drove us crazy that our producers did when we're interviewing somebody. I think it was the last segment, usually of the interview. We'd have us the. The person's face up on tv. We're talking to this person we're interviewing. But then at the bottom, our producing team would put up a graphic teasing the next guest the next day. And we thought it was incredibly rude.

[A]

It's rude. You're sitting there talking to Justin Long, and on the lower third, you're actually telling the audience to stop paying attention to what Justin Long is saying, because we're gonna talk to someone different and more exciting, even maybe tomorrow.

[B]

Okay? So Robes and I complained about. We hated it and we complained about it. And this was the one that made. That forced the change, because it happened while we're interviewing Justin Long, how he is in his movies. That's his personality. He has kind of frenetic energy. Sometimes he's just a blast. And so he's answering a question and he can see the screen. He's doing his thing, completely answering whatever we said. At the bottom, it says, coming up Monday, Nelly. And just in the middle of his answer, he said, ooh, Nelly's gonna be on on Monday. And then just kept talking. And we love that so much. And it forced a change in our.

[A]

Programming because it's rude. It's like when you're telling somebody something and they're talking about someone else and have completely ignored what you just said. That's what it felt like visually. And he pointed it out. We died laughing. And we're like, thank you for saying that. That is so rude that we just told. We're telling people, don't listen to Justin Long right now, but get excited about Nelly coming on Good Morning America on Monday.

[B]

Isn't that the equivalent of being at a bar talking to one person but then looking over that person's shoulder at.

[A]

The more attractive and you know what's happening? It's like I can see where your eyes are going right now. So anyway, we, we love that he pointed it out and actually enacted real change to the show's format at that point. All right, so why this? Jeepers Creepers made our list. We've said it. It's fun. Don't overthink this movie. If you want to be, you know, if you want to find some cinnamon tography, some artistic, I don't know, like you want to be elevated in the form and the. This isn't for you. This is a fun, entertaining, fast paced movie that gets a little silly in the end. But you know what? We were all in and we loved the format. We loved the ridiculousness of it. We. It was just fun. So go into it with that attitude and you'll love it.

[B]

But we promise you, it is worth the ride. Off the top. The first, the opening sequence of this movie is as in amazing. And it was not vogue. It's not violent, it's not horrific, but you're.

[A]

Your heart is racing.

[B]

It's a highway scene. It's wonderful.

[A]

Okay, so yes, we think we now have established who it's not for anyone who's looking for some sort of just introspective script that's creative and. Yes. And keeps you guessing. No, that's not for you. This is just fun. Just good fun. Horror film fun. All right. What would you pair this with, tj? Food, drink, atmosphere.

[B]

I'm thinking of something convenient. I'm thinking of something that you're going to get outraged. Like you should have a drink that has a seal on the top. You should have something you don't mind spilling onto the carpet because it's. You almost want to throw things at the screen. I think even there's a scene in which the young lady, the lead actress, she acknowledges this is the part in the movie where people say, stop doing this stupid thing.

[A]

I actually appreciated that she said it because I had already been saying it a couple times to the Justin Long character. Why are you gonna go back there? Why do you need to investigate? Just keep driving silly. She's actually saying what we're thinking, which I appreciated. So to your point, I would say champagne would be great because it's kind of a fun movie, Bubbles. And if you spill it, can't really tell that some champagne spilled. And anyway, it'd be a spill of honor. You could say, see, that's when I spilled champagne when I was watching Jeepers Creepers. I think that's fun. But again, this is another popcorn movie. This is just your classic fun, entertaining movie. I wouldn't overthink it. Just enjoy. And I do think this is one and you've pointed this out to watch with the group. You can watch it by yourself, but this is a fun movie to watch in a group setting.

[B]

Would you go on the. Again, rated R. I'm not saying bring your six year old in to watch this one, but it's. If you're going to bring a younger person into a horror movie, this is a not so horrible way to do.

[A]

I would say teenagers and up would be totally fine with this movie. I know people think we're crazy, but it, it has become. My parents are like, what are you doing, Amy? But my kids have grown up loving horror movies. And I will say they, they get it. They know it's a movie. And I've never ever had to deal with nightmares or any of that stuff because they've just always been around it. And I think there's real perspective as to what we're watching, which is entertainment, not a documentary. And there is a distinction between the two. So to each his own. But I do think this is one that is fun. Like on Christmas Day, what did we do as the Holmes Roebuck family? We went to a horror movie. That's us. Just full disclosure. All right, where to watch this? We watched this on Amazon Prime.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Just this week. So that is an absolute go to easy way to watch this movie.

[B]

Or if you got it on DVD like I do, pull out that old DVD player.

[A]

I love that you still have your DVD player. How else can I watch our DVD player now?

[B]

How else are we going to watch our seasons of 24?

[A]

You know what? That is something else we shared. We didn't know. We both love Princess Bride and we both loved 24. Never missed an episode of that unbelievable Kiefer Sutherland juggernaut of a show we.

[B]

Own every season on dvd.

[A]

Love that. All right, so our next episode, we're gonna tease it. All right. The next movie on our list which will be number 20 will make you rethink the next dinner party you're invited to.

[B]

Oh, my God. Okay, I forgot what we were doing next.

[A]

And I would say that that tease could apply to a couple different movies. So I think it'll leave you guessing still because there have been a couple dinner party I've seen. I think there were at least three that come mind. We've chosen this one specifically because we both loved the. Well, it's. It's dark. It's exceptionally dark and we can't wait to share it with you. So thank you for listening to us. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
